For some reason, I felt
a certain kinship with this man...
1:46:04
... whose life was forever changed
after he failed to remain objective...
1:46:08
... about the lady blackmailer.
1:46:11
Which brings me
to the other participant.
1:46:14
I never made any attempt to find her.
1:46:17
But if my suspicion is correct, she's
flying through the sky as we speak.
1:46:22
"...plummeting towards the earth
like a falling bird..."
1:46:25
... to quote one of my favorite poets.
1:46:28
After investigating her, I found myself
in better shape than ever before.
1:46:35
To me, she will always be a singular,
unforgettable event:
1:46:41
The only time I ever took leave
of my objectivity.
1:46:45
Perhaps the most able blackmailer
of her time, she was at once...
1:46:48
... the worthiest opponent
and the greatest ally.
1:46:52
And the only woman I have ever...
1:46:57
The only woman.
1:46:59
Period.
1:47:03
And though I never would have
have anticipated it...
1:47:06
... in the end she did for me
what I have done for so many.
1:47:11
Helped solve a problem,
first by observation...
1:47:15
... then by careful intervention.
1:47:19
In other words:
1:47:21
The Zero Effect.
