JULIA > The wife? It seems too simple, William. MURDOCH > It does. But consider the technology. The "HDCAM" clarity—it's a new chemical process in the film stock. It captures light at a higher sensitivity. It allowed me to see the reflection of the murder weapon in the booth before the death occurred. JULIA > A reflection? MURDOCH > In the glass of the projection booth window. In the film, there is a reflection of the person standing behind Pendleton. It wasn't the wife. It was a woman, yes, but much younger. The actress, Lillian. JULIA > Why? MURDOCH > Pendleton wasn't just financing the film. He was blackmailing her. He had footage of her... indiscretions. He owned her image, as he said he would.
