The next morning, Watson wonders if the policewoman is the one who ran over the unconscious man. He suspects that she is, but wonders if he will be okay. Watson tells him that he heard the crash and came running, and that he has come too far away to turn back. If he can pin the blame on her, he says, she can "start over" . He tells Watson that he told her to check the mirrors before the accident, but that he never thought she would do it. The policewoman, he tells Watson, "never crossed my mind" that she would swerve off the road and hit the man. Watson points out that the car's windows are wide open, and there seems to be a "dent on the bumper" , but there is no evidence of impact on either side of the vehicle. Watson says that he thinks the sound was coming from the left, but he wonders if that is because he saw the man jump out of the car. Watson asks if he can see the tire marks on the road, and Watson replies that they are just skid marks, which happen when you are "lam on the gasping gasp." He wonders if it would be suspicious if he fought the man too hard, but Watson says he will wait a second.
