Doyle Won't Search Thorwald's Apartment, Explained：knee-deep in
They agree on the facts and disagree on everything else. Doyle has checked Thorwald's lease, job and habits; Jeff wants him to break in and search the apartment. "Are you interested in solving this case or in making me look foolish?" Jeff snaps, and Doyle answers with the Constitution.
あらすじ
Detective Doyle reports what he found on Thorwald: a six-month lease, a job as a wholesale costume jewelry salesman, and a quiet, bill-paying, self-contained life. Jeff is convinced the man murdered his wife and urges Doyle to search the apartment while Thorwald is out. Doyle refuses, citing the Constitution and the need for a judge's search warrant. He settles for checking Thorwald's story at the railroad station.

What's really going on
This is the film's argument about proof. Jeff has a theory built entirely on what he saw through a window, and Doyle has the law, which will not let him act on a hunch. "Now did anybody actually see the wife get on the train?" Doyle asks, turning Jeff's own certainty back on him. Jeff's answer is to push harder, even asking Doyle to enter the apartment illegally: he is sure the place is "knee-deep in evidence." Doyle's refusal is the voice of procedure — a warrant, a judge, the Bill of Rights — and Jeff hears it as cowardice. Both men are right in different registers, which is why the friendship strains but holds. The last line lands the joke: after all the arguing, Jeff asks for a good detective instead of this one.

このシーンについての質問
Why won't Doyle search Thorwald's apartment?
He says even a detective cannot walk into an apartment and search it without a warrant. He cites the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, so Jeff's theory has to become real evidence first.
What did Doyle find out about Thorwald?
Thorwald has a six-month lease, pays his bills on time, drinks but not to excess, works as a wholesale costume jewelry salesman, and keeps to himself.
What does "knee-deep in evidence" mean?
It's an exaggerated way of saying there is a huge amount of evidence. Jeff claims the apartment must be full of proof, though he has never set foot in it.
Why does Doyle go to the railroad station?
He wants to check Thorwald's story that he put his wife on a train. It's the legal, evidence-based move, instead of the search Jeff demanded.
What does the telegram at the end show?
It says 'Arrived okay. Already feeling better. Love, Anna,' which suggests Mrs. Thorwald is still alive. It undercuts Jeff's murder theory for the moment.
