[00:19:00] We don't know, but it happened in this room.
[00:19:01] Are you sure?
[00:19:02] Oh, yes. Sir, I talked to her on the house for...
[00:19:04] Oh, you talked to her, eh, mother?
[00:19:05] Yes.
[00:19:06] I'm afraid your imagination is playing trick-toneth again.
[00:19:08] Not this time, sir. You knew him, sir. You knew how bad he hated people. Well, tonight he died.

[00:24:24] Yeah.
[00:24:25] Will, uh, will our lives be tasted? The shadow. Right, but I... I can't see nobody. Your beast is aware of my presence, however. I'm afraid he's too terrified to do your dirty work for you. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. The game appears to be over our part of... It... It wasn't my game. Traffic here dragged me in the... Quite true, Bartle. It was traffic who knew that the old man had buried his money in his house.

[00:35:04] This subject isn't. The conclusion is obvious.
[00:35:06] Over on my friend.
[00:36:15] So you see something sinister about an attempted grave robbery? A. Cranston?
[00:36:16] Yes, Commissioner.
[00:36:17] Particularly since the caretaker hasn't been seen since it happened.
[00:36:20] The more things he may have disturbed the grave robbers than a kidnapped Commissioner.
[00:36:23] Yes, I'm sure he does.
[00:36:25] Cranston never sees a simple explanation for anything that happens. stories. Maybe do him some good if he'd read some. Don't be angry darling. After all the commissioners a busy man and maybe after all he is right maybe it is just family. Nonsense. Something sinister behind his grave thefts and I tend to find out what it is. How? I found out who the man was who was grave expect there to be no slip up. Naturally, sir, naturally. You will hold yourself in red evening. Well, of course, man, of course.

[00:39:03] Good day, Mr. Mason.
[00:39:05] All right, Margot. You're hardly in a mood to win friends or influence people. Oh, what are you, Varn? My name is Cranston, Mrs. Gimbal. Oh, Varn, everyone has some trouble.
[00:40:22] Carry on, dar.
[00:40:24] I wanted some information about a tenant of yours.
[00:40:26] What do I look like? I remember Mr. Graybell, poor fellow, he went just last week. All paid up? Two. He had any relatives or friends, any money or belongings? Was anything buried with him that belonged to him? What could have belonged to him so he owned a clothes he was wearing? Was there anything peculiar about him, anything unusual? No, nothing. Oh, he was a little lame.
[00:41:42] Name?
[00:41:43] I see.
[00:41:44] Thanks very much, Mrs. Gimbal.
[00:41:45] You've been very helpful. I have no. Stop. Come on, we're on the back of the muscle here. Come on, I don't like it here. Neither do any of the rest of it. There's a grave over there. Someone's been digging, all right?
[00:44:21] Come on! Come on! by cutting down fuel consumption. A temp master can easily save enough fuel to pay for itself in a single heating season. Only blue cold dealers have them.

There's a woman's body. Yeah. There's a man over there. What happens? Smackling. Margo. Margo, can you hear me? Oh. How about him or Anne? See, all right.
[00:45:40] He's okay, Commissioner.
[00:45:41] Margo.
[00:45:42] Margo, you all right?
[00:45:44] She's still breathing. No thanks to you.
[00:45:46] Weston, how'd you get here? We're gonna lay low for a while until I heat off. I'm afraid that's impossible to get. All arrangements have been made for Mason to die tomorrow night. We must have a substitute court, the lame court. We'll make one. What's wrong with that? It's nice. Yeah, we can use a kid ticket party. He's still got that. All we do is fix it up a little.
[00:47:00] No.
[00:47:01] Your sawmation is a big man. The caretaker too small.
[00:47:04] Eh, occasionally. Heaps one-fit. Relaxing. Preserves the tissues, you know.
[00:48:22] Findexting. We're on the way out. Blended. Blended. Good day, Mr. Princeton. Good day.
[00:49:43] Yeah. May you mind.
[00:49:44] Thank you.
[00:50:41] Easy that way. Don't be difficult, Ryan.
[00:50:43] Get away!
[00:50:44] Come here, Ryan.
[00:50:46] No!
[00:50:47] No!
[00:51:03] This is such a disservice place.
[00:51:05] Sure, sure.
[00:51:06] This is a place for indexing.
[00:51:07] Yes, ma'am. when they couldn't get it they killed this man and mutilated him. Let's get out of here, Lamar. Just a second. This clothes aren't here as apparently but I suppose victim. Maybe there's some identification. What's this? It's a wallet. Maybe it is, Lamar. No muggle look here. Special driving permit issued to R.H. Mason. 142 fairway drive with notation that he was lame.
[00:52:23] Mason.
[00:52:24] No, no, no, no.
[00:52:26] No, muggle. I'm... I'm tired, I wanted to go away. But they told me they could steal a body. A body similar to mine. Enough fake accident and the burn body would be discovered and identified as you, Anne. Yes. Yes, that's right. But nobody would get hurt, I swear it. Two men have already died. One in agony. Who did it, Mason? Who? His name is Coler. He wouldn't cross me, Cola. I'm not. I'm well-equipped to dispose of your body, Dick, and certainly nobody's going to miss you. Wait a second, Cola. You didn't think I'd let you hijack me for the partnership, did you? I knew you would. Yeah, man! You talk too much, Cola, just because I've got one arm. Don't mean I can't handle a guy like you.
[00:55:02] You, do I?
[00:55:02] Yeah.
[00:55:03] I miss Judge, you did, yeah.
[00:55:06] Well, I guess we might as well make a deal after all. to accommodate you, Toula, but bullet wounds are so hard to explain sometimes. No in touch with your blue-cold dealer before cold weather comes. Better call him first thing tomorrow.
