1:22:00
- What are you talking about? Prove it."
- That's when we keep bluffing.
1:22:04
- How? What do we do?
- We produce the body.
1:22:06
But where are we gonna get it?
Madame Tussaut?
1:22:09
Say we found someone he trusted
to corroborate.
1:22:12
- Like who?
- Like his lover.
1:22:14
Say she said, " I've seen Lillian's body.
They want $100,000 for it."
1:22:18
Why would she do that?
1:22:22
Remember that book you recommended,
Murder in Manhattan?
1:22:25
Max Schindler's book.
That's right, the phone call.
1:22:29
You never mentioned that book to me.
1:22:31
- You don't like light reading...
- Since when?
1:22:34
- What is this book?
- It's fantastic! It would be so perfect...
1:22:38
...because she's an actress,
a would-be actress...
1:22:41
We could use his theatre.
He's a playwright. This is so perfect.
1:22:44
- Your theatre is empty all the time, anyhow.
- Thank you. That's great.
1:22:48
- What are we talking about here?
- Listen to this.
1:22:51
We get her in for a fake audition, and you
write some lines that don't mean anything.
1:22:57
And she does them,
and we tape-record it.
1:23:00
- Listen.
- I'm listening.
1:23:01
And then we edit the tape recording up
and we make one end of a phone call...
1:23:07
...and play it to Mr. House.
- Is it in the book?
1:23:10
- Come on.
- This is perfect.
1:23:12
That could never work.
You don't know what he's gonna say.
1:23:16
- In the book, they use several recorders.
- It's coordinated.
1:23:20
- You base your plan on a dumb paperback?
- This is great. This is great.
1:23:26
He's gotten away with murder. Our only
chance is to nab him when he kills again.
1:23:30
It provokes him to kill again.
They catch him the second time.
1:23:34
He's gotten away with the first murder.
1:23:36
You know what I'm thinking?
In the book what happens is...
1:23:39
...he kills the two people working
the scheme on him.
1:23:43
But you're not worried about that.
1:23:47
- It's perfect.
- Either that, or I've developed Parkinson's.
1:23:50
- No, we can handle him.
- He knows you're onto him, shake him down.
1:23:54
- He comes after you, we nab him.
- It's great. You're wonderful. I'm amazed.
1:23:58
- It's either that, or he walks.
- So, what you're saying is...
