- In the living room, please.

- Thank you.

- Hi, Maria.

- Mr. Corelli. Nice to see you.

Cosy little pad.

Yeah. Kind of like

Candlestick Park.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Hello.

- Inspector Vasko.

- Trina Gavin.

- Hi, Bob Hargrove.

- Hi.

- Matt said you had an accident.

- I'm fine.

Let's get something straight.

Mrs. Gavin is only talking to you

because she is not a suspect.

The investigation does not focus

on her at this time.

I think we can live with that.

What's your

relationship with Kyle Medford?

I'm on the board of the Pacific

Museum. Kyle was chairman.

He felt we were too conservative

in our acquisitions program.

I supported his efforts

to be more active.

Did you see him socially?

No, not really.

My husband and I saw him

at various functions.

Did you ever meet alone?

Yes. One time. The day he died.

He called me to talk about

acquiring a new Matisse.

I was leaving town, so I agreed

to meet him at his house.

That was last Saturday?

Yes.

What time did you get there?

I got there around 4:00.

We talked about the Matisse.

He gave me some tea.

He showed me his collection.

Was he alone?

Yes.

Did anyone see you there?

No. I don't think so.

What sort of things

did he show you?

He showed me this God-awfuI mask

from the Cameroon -

I think it was a fertility mask

- and a hatchet.

He said it was

over 100 years old.

Did you touch anything?

I touched the hatchet.

The mask, he held it up.

I can't remember

whether I touched it or not.

What did you do

after you left?

I went home.

Was your husband here?

- No.

- Was anyone here? Staff?

- No.

- Did you use the phone?

I had the machine on.

I was preparing a speech.

Look, I have no alibi

untiI 9:
00,

when we went to the ball.

- Is that what you're asking?

- What else do you need?

Have you ever been

to Medford's beach house?

Only his house in the city.

I didn't know he had another.

Ever give Medford

a silver jewellery box?

I never gave any gift.

You never had sex with him?

What kind of question is that?

That's why they're here.

You don't have to answer that.

I said I had no sociaI contact

with him.

I do consider sex

to be a sociaI contact, David.

As you know, I'm married.

I think she did it.

Why?

No alibi. Prints on the hatchet.

- And she lied.

- TypicaI shrink.

They pull your strings.

She was pulling your strings

pretty good.

The guy almost

had them convinced...

Morning, Corelli.

Hey, Dave, how you doing?

Got something to show you.

How we doing?

Now this... is what you gave us.

We were able to enhance it

using software algorithms.

Let's see...

This is how it looked

when we got it.

Medford's beach house.
