The Thin Man

Nick arrives home, and Nora says Gilbert has been by, saying he has something of the utmost importance to tell Nick. She asks if Nick knows who killed Julia, and Nick says yes and lists everyone involved. Mimi calls to apologize about getting angry with Nick and asks him to come by since she needs advice.

Nick arrives at Mimi’s, and she asks what happens when someone conceals evidence. Nick says probably nothing will happen to her if she turns it over and the jury sees her as an ex-wife still concerned for her former husband. She asks if Nick thinks she has a motive for hiding evidence, and he assumes it’s because she wants to blackmail Wynant. She tries to hit him, and he surprises her by saying Chris Jorgensen is Victor Rosewater. She looks truly surprised, which in turn surprises Nick. When Nick asks her what she is concealing, she says it was all a lie. Gilbert walks in and asks to speak with Nick alone after they finish. Mimi asks how he knows her husband is Rosewater, and Nick tells her a woman he was seeing told the police. Mimi wonders if he married her to get back at Wynant and killed Julia because she threatened to expose him.
