to come out here.

Do you want that?

I told you I'd see him,

honey, but not now.

Please, don't stop.

If that's Higgins,

keep him in the living room.

I'll come out.

All right, but I'm worried.

Frank said there was

talk of an autopsy.

How are you going to explain

the stitches in his head?

I'll explain 'em.

Here are your chemicals.

Now will you forget that thing

and come on back

to town with me?

Are they performing an autopsy?

No autopsy yet.

It's just that this Donovan

was a very important man.

The c.A.A.

Is investigating the crash,

but the main thing

is Higgins and Webster

are after my neck.

Now will you

come on back with me

and get me off the spot?

Ok, pal, anything you say.

Just give me

a few minutes to shave.

Take over, will you, dear?

Darling...

Wear a tie, huh?

If anyone thinks I was

guilty of negligence,

why not perform an autopsy?

We considered that,

but Mr. Donovan's family

decided it wasn't necessary.

Ah, Tuttle.

Tuttle, didn't you tell them

we did everything we could?

There's no dispute about that.

Then why am I here?

Principally,

with regard

to Dr. Schratt.

Now would you say...

Would you say

Dr. Schratt

was or was not in condition

to perform his duties?

Dr. Schratt was

in perfect condition

to perform his duties,

and he did.

When I tried to reach him,

he wasn't at his office.

At Dr. Cory's, he smelled

like a barroom,

and Mike at the liquor store

says he bought a case

of that Russian stuff

he lives on.

Caviar?

Tuttle, you're a fine ranger.

Why don't you mind

your own business?

Mr. Webster,

take my word for it.

You couldn't have

a more capable person

in your employ

than Dr. Schratt.

Anything else, gentlemen?

Nothing more for me.

Mr. Donovan's

son and daughter

are waiting to meet you.

Of course.

I'll buy you a drink

sometime, ranger.

What's your version, doc?

Did you know Donovan before?

I asked you men to cooperate.

I'll be back

in a minute, fellas.

Please, get me on the way out.

Thanks a lot.

Ok, doc.

Mrs. parton,

Mr. Donovan, Dr. Cory.

Hello, doctor.

How do you do,

Dr. Cory?

I'm very sorry

about your father.

Well, thank you, doctor.

My sister and I

have been assured

everything possible was done.

Believe me, it was.

Did dad say anything

before he died?

No. He was

unconscious

when we got to the wreck,

and he stayed that way.

I'd say he passed on

very peacefully.

No pain.

We wondered if any papers

fell out of his pockets.

Not that I know of.

Are you certain?

You notice anything?

No.

As I told you before,

Dr. Cory and I

were concerned only

with what we had to do.

We understand.

We're grateful to you both.

If there's ever anything
