:42:00
Listen to me, Ernest.
:42:03
I've thought this through carefully,
and it's the only way.
:42:07
Tonight, while she's asleep,
you'll sneak downstairs quietly,
:42:11
and take one of each kind
of wine glass from the shelf.
:42:15
Then you'll take
this Narconal...
:42:18
and lightly coat
each glass.
:42:20
As you know, Narconal is a very
powerful alcohol-base tranquilizer,
:42:24
so you won't need much.
:42:26
Tomorrow, I'll call Madeline
to say good-bye.
:42:29
- I'll get her to invite me to dinner.
- Why don't you come to dinner?
:42:33
Then, at dinner,
we propose a toast.
:42:37
No matter which glass
she drinks from,
:42:39
Narconal will be
on the glass.
:42:44
You and I work together.
First, we finish dinner.
:42:47
Then we load her in the car,
take her to the top of Mulholland Drive,
:42:50
call the police and report we've seen a
drunk woman swerving close to the edge.
:42:55
Some drunk woman up here on Mulholland's
swerving dangerously close to the edge.
:42:59
We'll sit her up
in the driver's seat...
:43:02
and make it look like
she's had...
:43:04
just a little bit
too much to drink.
:43:08
We drop the car into gear,
:43:12
wedge her foot
down on the accelerator,
:43:16
clamp her hands
on the steering wheel...
:43:19
and send her on her way.
:43:32
By the time
they perform the autopsy,
:43:35
the Narconal will be
completely dissolved,
:43:38
leaving only traces
of alcohol.
:43:41
She'll be classified
as just another drunk driver.
:43:45
- They'll check her blood alcohol...
- Point four-0. She had it coming.
:43:50
...and think
nothing more of it.
:43:53
The case is closed.
Madeline is dead.
:43:57
And we're free!
