Into the street right in front Of you?

I'm a good driver,

And propane is safe as milk

As long as you know what you're Doing.

I was down here by the tracks,

And I could smell the propane,

So I climbed out of the cab.

I remember getting into the van,

And herbert's driving,

Did the heart attack occur

While he was driving,

Or was it after the accident?

Occasionally.

In bad press being better than None at all,

But do let me know

If he plans on burning down the House?

You bet.

So what'd we get on the search?

Absolutely nothing.

He got rid of that hammer two Minutes after he killed her,

And we'll never find it.

Laboucane tailed him.

Our suspect went to a travel Agency,

Booked himself a one-way ticket

To jamaica.

He's going to jump.

To be concerned for your safety.

I don't believe he did it.

We think he did.

When you have proof, let me Know.

Did you know he bought a one-way Ticket to jamaica?

I'm sorry?

Look, mr. Cray,

I can put you in custody and Hold you until the inquest.

Then I guess you'd better do it,

Because I haven't changed my Mind.

Okay.

A case like this, melanie, is a Process of elimination.

Now, what we have is motive, Which is bob's affair with you.

That was an affair.

That was an affair.

It wasn't serious.

Well, apparently, bob took it Very seriously.

I mean, he told you that he Wanted to marry you.

That's what you said in your Original statement.

Yeah, but, that was, you know,

What every guy says trying to Get you into bed.

What every guy says trying to Get you into bed.

He has a million-dollar policy On his wife,

And he's getting a big payday Now that she's been found,

A double payday

A double payday

If it proves to be death by Non-natural causes--

And believe me, it wasn't Natural.

And believe me, it wasn't Natural.

He also had opportunity.

His alibi had no witness to Support it.

The long and the short of it is, Melanie,

The long and the short of it is, Melanie,

We need to get bob

Before he collects the insurance Payout

And leaves the country.

I don't know exactly what you Want me to do.

I don't know exactly what you Want me to do.

We need your help to get a Conviction,

And the best way to do that

If I help you with this,

You can protect me?

Yes.

I'm going to need some time to Think about it.

I'm going to need some time to Think about it.
