soon it will be all ours
("Seems Walker always wore glasses...But there were none on the scene. The coroner says they should have been there...")
BAM!
INT. WALKER HOUSE ENTRANCE AREA - DAY
Ned Racine's fist strikes the wall "BAM!!" above Matty Walker's head.
RACINE: Don't say that! Don't say you don't have them.
MATTY: I swear to you, I don't. What's wrong with you?
-- They had to be here when you cleaned up that night. Think about it, think hard! They've probably got my prints on them!
-- I must have missed them. I wasn't looking for them. I thought they were on Edmund!
-- Where could they have gone?
(His voice is fairly a roar, there. Gotta have those glasses....)
MATTY: I don't know.
(suddenly, a look) -- Betty!
NED: The housekeeper?
(...always blame the help...)
MATTY: She might have taken them....Maybe she knew about us. Maybe she wants something. ...I'm worried, Ned. But it's not about the glasses or your friends. It's us. Your first reaction is to accuse me. What's happening to you?
RACINE
(the energy of is panic has subsided -- he speaks with contrition, emotion)
I'm sorry.
MATTY: Hardin called today. He said everything should be cleared up by next week. I'll get the money....
-- They've been stalling. They're dragging it out, hoping they'll find some way to implicate you.
-- (with her old calm composure and smoky voice): But they haven't been able to. Soon it will be all ours....
------------- And she points out to him, "All we have is each other." And "We've got to stay together, Ned!"
He walks slowly over to where she's standing, in the big entry-area of the house, and takes her in his arms, gently.

_____________
A series of scenes: Detective Grace in Miami investigating the places Racine visited while there, day of the murder. Real estate thing; parking garage with the valet; hotel. (...That's his alibi. He was "in Miami" when Walker was killed. ...)
EXT. THE MOON AND THE OCEAN - NIGHT
On a pier, Peter Lowenstein practices a dance step.
Ned Racine jogs onto the pier, winding up his run.
