START: CRADDOCK: Sit down, please, Miss Blacklock.
MISS BLACKLOCK: (nervously) Yes…
CRADDOCK: I think it’s cards on the table time.
MISS BLACKLOCK: (warily) I don’t understand, Inspector.
CRADDOCK: I think you do.

END: MISS BLACKLOCK: But only to me. They belong to my sister. We were very close. I wear them all the time. They somehow--and I don’t suppose you’ll understand this for one minute--keep me in touch with her…
CRADDOCK: (
after a moment
) I like to think I’m not insensitive. But, I still think someone is trying to kill you.
