:42:02
and that's when I did it, old boy.
:42:04
I wrung her neck.
:42:07
She was under that freshly-dug mound of earth...
:42:09
that old Doppler took such a fancy to.
- "Was" ? She's not now ?
:42:13
- No, I moved her.
- Where to ?
:42:15
The flooded gravel pit ?
Fu Manchu's abandoned glue factory ?
:42:19
It doesn't matter where to.
:42:21
The Police will find her in due course
if they haven't found her already.
:42:24
- The Police ?
- Yes.
:42:26
I phoned them about an hour ago...
:42:28
and asked them to meet me here at 10:00.
:42:31
They should arrive in about 15 minutes.
:42:34
I'm sure they will too.
:42:37
Led, no doubt, by intrepid,
downy Inspector Doppler.
- Nope.
:42:42
It'll be a real cop, all right.
:42:44
Detective Sergeant Tarrant
Is his name.
:42:47
Check it, if you like.
:42:50
I told him a lot about you, Andrew.
:42:52
I said I knew you to be a man
obsessed with games-playing...
:42:56
and murder considered as a fine art.
:42:58
Your life's great ambition, I said,
of which you'd often spoken...
:43:02
was to commit an actual, real life murder,
hide the body,
:43:06
then leave clues linking you with
the crime scattered about the house,
:43:10
convinced that the poor,
simple minded Police...
:43:12
would never recognize 'em for what they were.
:43:15
"Please, sir, Andrew wyke can't rest
until he's committed a real murder,
:43:19
but he's gonna make fools
out of all you coppers."
:43:21
Honestly ! Tell that to
the average desk Sergeant,
:43:25
and you'll find yourself strapped
right into the giggle jacket.
:43:27
Not so, in fact.
:43:30
I told them that if they didn't believe me,
:43:33
one look at your books and the
furnishings of your house...
:43:37
would confirm what I said
about your obsessions.
:43:44
Go on.
:43:47
I also told them that two days ago,
:43:50
your girlfriend came to my house in great
distress, saying that you suspected her...
:43:55
of having affairs with other men
and threatened to kill her.
:43:58
I bet they believed every word of that !
