We can see the close floor action on the set. 563 00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,680 I see you're partial to wearing cowboy boots. 564 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,160 Yeah, I find them more comfortable than shoes. 565 00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,140 Also, one has a sense of standing on one's own two feet. 566 00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:02,440 Never thought of boots in exactly that way before. 567 00:42:03,140 --> 00:42:04,140 Very fine leather. 568 00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,980 Have any special way of cleaning them? Brush and polish. 569 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:10,620 Let's skip the trivia, Jones, and level. 570 00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:15,220 The police suspect Tony of performing foul play on one Al Bailey, but I think 571 00:42:15,220 --> 00:42:16,178 you suspect me. 572 00:42:16,180 --> 00:42:17,240 You mind telling me why? 573 00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:19,480 Oh, it's nice to get right to the point. 574 00:42:20,060 --> 00:42:22,380 I have a theory. It has a few rough edges. 575 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:24,560 Well, maybe I can help you roughen it up a bit more. 576 00:42:26,140 --> 00:42:32,320 Well, Bailey's car was seen leaving here about 8 o 'clock last Sunday night. 577 00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,860 Only Bailey wasn't driving it. Tony was. 578 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,000 The guard said he saw Bailey leave at that time. 579 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,380 Oh, they saw the car leave, not Bailey. There's a difference. 580 00:42:44,780 --> 00:42:48,640 Are you suggesting that I somehow conspired with Tony in killing Hal 581 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:53,900 Oh, no. No, I think Tony's too honest for that. He'd be incapable of 582 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,560 Are you suggesting, then, that I use Tony? 583 00:42:58,840 --> 00:42:59,840 Wouldn't be too difficult. 584 00:43:00,020 --> 00:43:01,020 My involvement. 585 00:43:01,580 --> 00:43:03,220 You got a peg to hang that hat on? 586 00:43:04,270 --> 00:43:08,210 That locker that you moved from this office, I took the liberty of examining 587 00:43:08,210 --> 00:43:12,750 in your garage. And finding bloodstains and cement dust inside leads me to 588 00:43:12,750 --> 00:43:17,990 believe that Mr. Bailey is reposing somewhere under the concrete that's 589 00:43:17,990 --> 00:43:19,330 laid out by the parking lot. 590 00:43:20,530 --> 00:43:21,750 And I put him there? 591 00:43:25,350 --> 00:43:27,270 Scoreboard says you're nine points behind. 592 00:43:27,670 --> 00:43:28,950 Is that where you, Mr. Sanderson? 593 00:43:29,510 --> 00:43:31,410 Let me construct a case for you, Jones. 594 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:37,340 Supposing that Al Bailey was in my office right here at 5 o 'clock. 595 00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:43,600 We had an argument, and in a fit of passion, I killed him. Although I'm hard 596 00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:47,740 to explain what kind of passion Al Bailey could arouse in me, but I killed 597 00:43:48,580 --> 00:43:51,100 Now, the first thing is to get rid of the body. 598 00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:53,600 That's a stickler, but... 599 00:43:53,600 --> 00:44:00,440 The 600 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:01,440 equipment locker. 601 00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:04,580 The plot thickens, eh, Mr. Jones? 602 00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:06,660 I couldn't do better myself. 603 00:44:07,020 --> 00:44:11,680 So I wait until dark, and then Tony helps me carry the body and the locker 604 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:12,680 to my station wagon. 605 00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:16,400 I tell Tony to drive Bailey's car off and dispose of it. 606 00:44:17,260 --> 00:44:21,360 A little stickies there. Why would Tony drive his car away without first 607 00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,920 questioning who it belonged to? We may never know that. 608 00:44:24,620 --> 00:44:29,960 So, Tony leaves with Bailey's car, and I'm left with Bailey's body. 609 00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:31,640 But not for long. 610 00:44:32,140 --> 00:44:34,600 I drove the wagon over to the cement mixer. 611 00:44:35,060 --> 00:44:39,460 I placed the body where concrete was being poured and do some more pouring. 612 00:44:39,780 --> 00:44:41,260 Are we of one mind on this? 613 00:44:49,420 --> 00:44:51,160 Frankie is loosening up. 614 00:44:51,620 --> 00:44:53,660 Your team's only two points behind now. 615 00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:00,660 Doesn't seem to make you happy, Mr. Sanderson. 616 00:45:00,970 --> 00:45:02,730 Let's not continue this anymore, Jones. 617 00:45:03,190 --> 00:45:06,870 If the body is buried here, there's only one conclusion that can be reached. 618 00:45:07,290 --> 00:45:12,270 Tony sneaked back, on foot, probably after he saw me leave, and disposed of 619 00:45:12,270 --> 00:45:14,510 body. Good theory, but I have a better one. 620 00:45:15,650 --> 00:45:19,910 You know that it's almost impossible to get rid of cement dust from your shoes? 621 00:45:21,230 --> 00:45:27,110 Meaning these boots, and I was wearing them that day, contained traces of 622 00:45:27,110 --> 00:45:28,110 dust? 623 00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:31,100 Jones, you fascinate me. 624 00:45:31,580 --> 00:45:33,020 Well, I was hoping I would. 625 00:45:33,340 --> 00:45:37,560 I'd be surprised if they didn't contain some small trace of cement dust, seeing 626 00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,400 as how I was in the area a few days ago watching the men work. 627 00:45:41,820 --> 00:45:45,100 Oh, that's enough to blow my whole case. 628 00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:54,220 Congratulations, Mr. 629 00:45:54,420 --> 00:45:56,100 Sanderson.

The way the chemist explained it 638 00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,860 me, bags of cement are like fingerprints. 639 00:46:40,420 --> 00:46:46,440 A million hands all looking alike doing the same job, but each fingerprint is 640 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:47,440 just a little bit different. 641 00:46:47,820 --> 00:46:53,520 Jones, you are boring me.
