WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:07.000 Another five minute mystery. 00:30.000 --> 00:42.000 Inspector Craig, I just decided that working for the police department is very ratifying, 00:42.000 --> 00:45.000 especially even more so when it gets us free passes to the psychos. 00:45.000 --> 00:47.000 The word is gratifying, nimble brain. 00:47.000 --> 00:50.000 To ratify means to put your stamp of approval on something. 00:50.000 --> 00:52.000 So that's what I said. With me it's very much okay. 00:52.000 --> 00:55.000 When I was a kid I was always crazy to join the psychos. 00:55.000 --> 00:57.000 You know Pepper, sometimes I wonder... 00:57.000 --> 00:58.000 Yeah? 00:58.000 --> 00:59.000 Oh, never mind. 00:59.000 --> 01:01.000 Inspector Craig, I've been looking everywhere for you. 01:01.000 --> 01:02.000 Oh, hello Denny. 01:02.000 --> 01:04.000 Pepper and I want to thank you for the passes. 01:04.000 --> 01:06.000 I think the big show is better than ever this year. 01:06.000 --> 01:08.000 I'm afraid I'm not going to be much of a host, Inspector. 01:08.000 --> 01:10.000 It seems the snake charmer has been found dead and... 01:10.000 --> 01:11.000 Murder? 01:11.000 --> 01:12.000 It looks like suicide. 01:12.000 --> 01:15.000 I'd like you to run over with me and give it a routine check. 01:15.000 --> 01:22.000 Sorry to bust in on your fun this way. 01:22.000 --> 01:25.000 Looks like suicide to me, all right, Inspector. 01:25.000 --> 01:27.000 An open and shut case as far as I'm concerned. 01:27.000 --> 01:30.000 It's so hard to believe. Dorothy. 01:30.000 --> 01:32.000 You own part interest in the circus, don't you, Brian? 01:32.000 --> 01:35.000 That's right, Inspector. Nat, Brian and I are partners. 01:35.000 --> 01:38.000 Nat, I can't tell you how sorry I am. 01:38.000 --> 01:39.000 Thanks. 01:39.000 --> 01:41.000 How long were you and Mrs. Brian married? 01:41.000 --> 01:44.000 Not long. I can't believe she'd do a thing like this. 01:44.000 --> 01:46.000 She was the snake charmer, right? 01:46.000 --> 01:47.000 Yes. 01:47.000 --> 01:51.000 Suppose you tell us how it happened, Brian, so we can get the facts straight. 01:51.000 --> 01:53.000 Well, lately Dorothy and I... 01:53.000 --> 01:55.000 Well, that is, there have been disagreements. 01:55.000 --> 01:56.000 Quarrels. 01:56.000 --> 01:58.000 There was some talk about a trapeze artist, is that it? 01:58.000 --> 02:02.000 Yes. Dorothy was insanely jealous and thought I was interested in a little tightrope walker. 02:02.000 --> 02:03.000 Were you? 02:03.000 --> 02:06.000 No. There never was anyone else for me but Dorothy. 02:06.000 --> 02:07.000 And now... 02:07.000 --> 02:08.000 All right, go on. 02:08.000 --> 02:11.000 I came here late this afternoon to get her to listen to reason. 02:11.000 --> 02:13.000 She refused to be reasonable. 02:13.000 --> 02:16.000 There was quite a scene and finally she got up and ran into the dressing room. 02:16.000 --> 02:19.000 Yes, yes, I see. These tents are divided into little rooms. 02:19.000 --> 02:20.000 It's very clever. 02:20.000 --> 02:21.000 You were out here, is that it? 02:21.000 --> 02:22.000 Yes. 02:22.000 --> 02:24.000 And she went into what could be called the other room. 02:24.000 --> 02:26.000 All right, go on. 02:26.000 --> 02:29.000 I had no idea what she intended to do, otherwise I... 02:29.000 --> 02:31.000 I just can't seem to realize. 02:31.000 --> 02:32.000 We understand. 02:32.000 --> 02:34.000 Of course we do, Matt. Go on. 02:34.000 --> 02:37.000 Well, that's all there is. She shot herself. 02:37.000 --> 02:39.000 And I was sitting here all the time. 02:39.000 --> 02:41.000 After a while I got up and left. 02:41.000 --> 02:43.000 I was seen coming from this direction by several people. 02:43.000 --> 02:45.000 That's why I came and told you this. 02:45.000 --> 02:47.000 I didn't want the police to think I was hiding anything. 02:47.000 --> 02:49.000 You did the right thing, of course. 02:49.000 --> 02:52.000 This tent has set apart some distance from the others, isn't it? 02:52.000 --> 02:56.000 Yes, no one wanted to be near the snake charmer's tent in case any of them got loose. 02:56.000 --> 02:58.000 That accounts for no one hearing the shot. 02:58.000 --> 02:59.000 There's one thing I don't get. 02:59.000 --> 03:02.000 How is it you didn't hear the sound of a gun going off? 03:02.000 --> 03:05.000 I told you it was late afternoon, feeding time for the animals. 03:05.000 --> 03:07.000 Dorothy's tent is next to the giraffes. 03:07.000 --> 03:11.000 They were making such a racket hollering for their food, I couldn't hear. 03:11.000 --> 03:14.000 Inspector, if I may make so bold as to make a remark here, 03:14.000 --> 03:17.000 this guy is to put it bluntly an awful liar. 03:17.000 --> 03:18.000 Why, how dare you? 03:18.000 --> 03:19.000 Are you sure? 03:19.000 --> 03:20.000 Plain as the nose on my face. 03:20.000 --> 03:23.000 Well, that's plain enough for me. Hold still, Brian. Don't make a move. 03:26.000 --> 03:30.000 In a moment, Pepper will reveal the clue that led him to believe it was murder, not suicide. 03:30.000 --> 03:59.000 But first... 04:00.000 --> 04:15.000 Now, back to our story. 04:15.000 --> 04:17.000 You better explain, Pepper. How do you know he's lying? 04:17.000 --> 04:23.000 Because giraffes is like turtles. They don't make noises. Brother, is he dumb? 04:23.000 --> 04:51.000 Good work, Pepper. OK, Brian, you're under arrest. 04:53.000 --> 04:55.000 You're under arrest.
