00:00:18
HARRY: The killer was probably
right-handed and tall--
00:00:22
taller than the victim,
anyway.
00:00:24
And he attacked from behind.
00:00:26
MIKE: How can you tell?
00:00:27
HARRY: Partly by the wound.
00:00:30
The cut is angled upwards and
goes from left to right,
00:00:34
caused by a serrated blade.
00:00:37
There are no cuts on the
victim's arms, so he wasn't
00:00:40
trying to defend himself
from a frontal attack.
00:00:43
Also, the blood spatter goes
forwards from the body.
00:00:46
And it's uninterrupted.
00:00:48
There was no obstacle, like
a person, in its way.
00:00:50
Once he was dead, the killer
dropped him, and the body fell
00:00:53
backwards like this.
00:00:55
OFFICER: Sounds like
you've got some
00:00:56
forensic experience, Doc.
00:00:58
HARRY: No, not really.
00:01:00
I'm just observant, I suppose.
00:01:02
MIKE: Any chance you could
give me a time of death?
00:01:04
HARRY: Judging by lividity,
around midnight is my guess,
00:01:07
though an autopsy should tell
you more, of course.
00:01:10
(THINKING) This is fascinating,
but I mustn't get
00:01:15
Time to extricate myself.
00:01:17
MIKE: Well, thanks
for that, Doc.
00:01:19
At least it gives me something
to work on.
00:01:20
HARRY: Happy to help,
but can I go now?
00:01:23
I mean, could you give
me a ride home again?
00:01:25
BERT: Dr. Vanderspeigle,
I presume.
00:01:27
The police told me they were
hoping to enlist your help.
00:01:30
A pleasure to meet you, sir.
00:01:32
Cuthbert C. Hawthorne
at your service.
00:01:34
Folks call me Bert.
00:01:36
MIKE: Bert's the mayor
of Patience, Doc.
00:01:38
Watch your step.
00:01:39
He's a slick one.
00:01:40
BERT: It's Harry, isn't it?
00:01:42
Can I call you Harry?
00:01:44
HARRY: Yes, of course.
00:01:45
BERT: Harry, Doc Hodges' passing
is a sad loss for our
00:01:48
little community.
00:01:50
He'll be sorely missed.
00:01:51
But he's left us in something
of a bind.
00:01:54
It'll probably take months
to replace him.
00:01:56
Meanwhile, all I've been able
to rustle up in the way of
00:01:59
temporary help is some
snot-nosed kid who's
00:02:02
practically an intern.
00:02:03
And even he can't get here
until next week.
