It's someone living. 736 00:40:40,820 --> 00:40:43,260 It's Virginia you're really trying to cover for, isn't it? 737 00:40:43,740 --> 00:40:44,900 No, that's not true. 738 00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:45,999 Please answer. 739 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,720 You be quiet.

No, no, that's not true. 747 00:41:12,270 --> 00:41:13,270 Virginia. 748 00:41:14,150 --> 00:41:18,050 I think it was Austin Collins who murdered your uncle to keep himself from 749 00:41:18,050 --> 00:41:19,050 exposed. 750 00:41:19,190 --> 00:41:23,230 I think everything Collins did after that was simply to drag red herrings all 751 00:41:23,230 --> 00:41:24,229 over the place. 752 00:41:24,230 --> 00:41:27,430 Now, I don't think Collins would have kept the gun he killed George with. 753 00:41:28,090 --> 00:41:31,470 But he did keep your office gun. Perhaps he'd taken it away from George. 754 00:41:33,030 --> 00:41:38,090 Anyway, I think that on the night that you went to see Collins, he was still 755 00:41:38,090 --> 00:41:40,430 carrying that gun in his empty hip pocket. 756 00:41:41,670 --> 00:41:44,150 He threatened me with it.
