Miss Jessica. 469 00:31:38,630 --> 00:31:42,259 Surely you cannot believe I had anything to do with that dear woman's death? 470 00:31:42,334 --> 00:31:47,601 At the moment, I don't quite know what to believe. 471 00:31:53,345 --> 00:31:56,473 Of course I knew that WillieJohn Fargo is a diabetic. 472 00:31:56,548 --> 00:31:59,483 So are hundreds of other people in this county. It doesn't mean a thing. 473 00:31:59,551 --> 00:32:03,954 So I was just told. But they are not going to inherit McKittrick Oil. 474 00:32:04,022 --> 00:32:07,480 Look, we have a very sensitive situation here. 475 00:32:07,559 --> 00:32:10,926 I realize that you have to be circumspect, but certainly the police- 476 00:32:10,996 --> 00:32:14,056 The police? The chief and half his staff just went on sick leave. 477 00:32:14,132 --> 00:32:17,101 Seven county judges applied for vacation yesterday! 478 00:32:17,169 --> 00:32:21,902 - Oh, yes, I see. Leaving you- - Leaving me holding a sackful of diamondback rattlers. 479 00:32:23,175 --> 00:32:27,009 - Well, still and all, Mr. Whittaker- - Ma'am, if I knew for sure- 480 00:32:27,079 --> 00:32:31,277 and I mean for sure- Miss Carrie's killer, I would do my duty. 481 00:32:31,350 --> 00:32:33,716 Well, then, let's look at the facts. 482 00:32:33,785 --> 00:32:37,243 Now, we know that someone put cyanide into Carrie's I.V. Tube... 483 00:32:37,322 --> 00:32:39,347 between midnight and 12:30. 484 00:32:39,424 --> 00:32:42,416 We also know that Sam had an opportunity. 485 00:32:42,494 --> 00:32:44,428 You keep making a point of that. 486 00:32:44,496 --> 00:32:47,363 Yeah, but he wasn't the only one. I mean, there was an exit down the hall... 487 00:32:47,432 --> 00:32:49,696 from Carrie's room that leads down to the parking lot. 488 00:32:49,768 --> 00:32:53,067 It was late, almost nobody around. Somebody could have come in from the outside... 489 00:32:53,138 --> 00:32:55,663 and have gotten into her room without even being noticed. 490 00:32:55,741 --> 00:32:57,675 - All right. Who? - Didn't you tell me... 491 00:32:57,743 --> 00:32:59,973 that there were fingerprints on that syringe? 492 00:33:00,045 --> 00:33:02,377 I sent 'em to the F.B.I. We're waiting to hear. 493 00:33:02,447 --> 00:33:06,679 Yeah, well, what puzzles me most is that a massive dose of insulin... 494 00:33:06,752 --> 00:33:10,017 would almost certainly be fatal to someone who'd had a heart attack. 495 00:33:10,088 --> 00:33:12,215 A-Are you a doctor or something? 496 00:33:12,290 --> 00:33:16,727 Uh, writing murder mysteries almost qualifies me, believe me. 497 00:33:16,795 --> 00:33:22,290 But, now, if insulin has been used, it would not have been detected in a postmortem. 498 00:33:22,367 --> 00:33:25,700 There'd be no suspicion of murder. The death would seem perfectly natural. 499 00:33:25,771 --> 00:33:30,504 But, no, someone removes the insulin, substitutes cyanide. 500 00:33:30,575 --> 00:33:33,738 Now, Mr. Whittaker, it's as if someone had wanted... 501 00:33:33,812 --> 00:33:37,304 Carrie's murder to be discovered, and the question is, why? 502 00:33:44,289 --> 00:33:48,089 [Organ] 503 00:33:57,135 --> 00:34:00,400 She always used to say, "Hold my wake in that parlor, 504 00:34:00,472 --> 00:34:02,667 and make sure everybody comes." 505 00:34:02,741 --> 00:34:05,869 I know it's an old tradition and everything, but- 506 00:34:05,944 --> 00:34:08,139 I don't know. It just makes me a little squeamish. 507 00:34:08,213 --> 00:34:11,182 Well, you know, I think it's rather a nice custom. 508 00:34:11,249 --> 00:34:14,650 It gives everybody a chance to say good-bye. 509 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:19,019 I suppose. Ethel, let's- [Continues, Indistinct] 510 00:34:19,091 --> 00:34:22,356 May I make you a drink?

Just two young kids blowin' off some steam. 527 00:35:10,942 --> 00:35:14,434 Really?
