[English]

why have I got this blanket they keep

putting this blanket on me yeah it's for

shock I'm not in shock yeah but some of

the guys want to take

photographs so the're shooting no sign

cleared off before we got here but a guy

like that would have had enemies I

suppose one of them could have been

following him

but got nothing to go

on oh I wouldn't say that

okay give me the bullet they just dug

out of the walls from a handgun kill

shot over that distance from that kind

of a weapon that's a crack shot you're

looking for but not just a marksman

fighter his hands couldn't have shaken

the tool so clearly he's a climatized to

violence he didn't find until I was in

immediate danger though it's a strong

moral principle you're looking for a man

probably with a history of military

service and nerves of

Steel actually do you know what ignore

me sorry ignore all of that it's just

the uh the shock talking where you going

I just need to talk about the the rent I

still got questions pleas what now I'm

in shock look I've got a blanket

Sherlock and I just caught you a serial

killer more or

less okay we'll put you in tomorrow if

you

go and Sergeant Donovan's just been

explaining everything two

pills a dreadful business is

Dreadful good

shot yes yes must have been through that

window well you

know need to get the powder BS out of

your fingers I don't suppose you serve

time for this but let's avoid the court

case are you all right yes of course I'm

all right we have just killed a man yes

it's

true but he wasn't a very nice

man no no he wasn't really was he he was

frankly a bloody awful

cabby that's true he was a bad cabby

should have seen the root you took us to

get here stop we can't giggle as a crime

scene stop it you're the one who shot in

I mean keep your voice now sorry it's

just um nerves I think

sorry you were going to take that damn

pill weren't you of course I wasn't

biting my time you turn up you didn't

how you get your kicks isn't it you risk

your life to prove you're clever why

would I do that cuz you're an

idiot dinner

starving and the Baker Street there's a

good Chinese stays open until 2 so dims

some I can always predict the fortune

cookies no you can't almost can you did

get shot though Sor in Afghanistan there

was an actual wound oh yeah the shoulder

shoulder I thought so no you didn't the

left one lucky guess never guess yes you

do
