A Perfect Murder1998

Emily:
But why did you put his key on my key chain?

Steven:
David threatened violence from the very beginning so when I saw the body lying in the kitchen I'm sure it was him none of the doors have been forced open so I assumed he had your key

Emily:
But when? I had just used it to come that evening

Steven:
Are you sure? He used your key? Because if memory serves me right the door was wide open I saw you walk in

Emily:
Maybe

Steven:
In which case he could've taken your key the day before, did you see him the day before?

Emily:
Yes

Steven:
So I went through his pockets and found what I thought was your key and I reacted I grabbed a screwdriver and jimmied the door and put back in his pocket and took what I thought was your key and put it on your keychain I am so sorry for having to put you through this it was the only thing I could do

Emily:
Can you ever forgive me?

Steven:
I already have

Emily:
We have to go to the police

Steven:
I don't think this is the time for brutal honesty I've tampered evidence in a homicide I paid off a blackmail I'm in way over my head and so are you, David can say anything he wants he could say I hired him to kill you or he could say he blackmailed us the happily married wealthy couple in which case it appeared we killed that poor bastard thinking it was David all depends how he wants to play it

Emily:
What about the man that I killed?

Steven:
You think that has anything to do with David?

Emily:
It must

Steven:
Do you have any idea how many burglaries are committed each day in this city? I don't think so

Emily:
What are we going to do now?

Steven:
We're going to have to disentangle ourselves from your artist friend is there anything in his loft that can link David to you and I?

Emily:
My ring

Steven:
I thought you said it was being repaired?

Emily:
That was a lie I left it by the bed

Steven:
Is there anything else?

Emily:
Isn't that enough?

Steven:
I'll get it
