00:00:57The End
00:01:27The End
00:01:57I hate this river.
00:02:15What's the trouble, Mrs. Ambrose?
00:02:17Oh, that thing's floated by again, Stephen.
00:02:20In with one tide, out with the other.
00:02:22I'm sick of it.
00:02:23Don't get upset, Mrs. Ambrose.
00:02:24It's due to sink any day now.
00:02:26Why don't the authorities do something about it?
00:02:29They know that the tides cause the same filth to wash back and forth.
00:02:33Back and forth.
00:02:34Oh, I tell you, I hate this river.
00:02:36It's people who should be blamed for the filth.
00:02:39Not the river.
00:02:39The mail just arrived, Mr. Byrne.
00:02:43Oh, put it on the table, please.
00:02:50Hmm.
00:02:51Looks like a manuscript.
00:02:54My manuscripts are like the tide out there.
00:02:56They always come back.
00:02:58Maybe they wouldn't if you took my advice.
00:03:01Spice them up.
00:03:02Make them racy.
00:03:03That's what the public wants.
00:03:10What is it, Emily?
00:03:11Well, it's just that it's getting awfully late, Mr. Byrne.
00:03:14And the plumber hasn't arrived to fix the downstairs tub.
00:03:16Well, if he hasn't come by now, he probably isn't coming at all today.
00:03:19Use the upstairs one, if you like.
00:03:21Thank you, sir.
00:03:22How does your wife like the new maid, Stephen?
00:03:34Uh, what?
00:03:35Oh, uh, very well, I think.
00:03:37Good.
00:03:38Oh, where is Marjorie, by the way?
00:03:40I haven't seen her all day.
00:03:41She's spending the day with the Lawlers in the country.
00:03:42Oh, that's nice.
00:03:43Did she say when she'd be back?
00:03:44Only in time to dress for Miss Whittaker's party.
00:03:46Oh, good heavens.
00:03:47Why, I'd better go and finish my gardening
00:03:49so that I can start to get ready.
00:03:51I've still millions of things to do out here.
00:04:19You know, she's going to die.
00:04:47Sorry.
00:04:47How did you do that?
00:08:48Why, you...
00:08:49You frighten me.
00:08:53Did I?
00:08:58I thought you were still in the garden.
00:09:00Did you?
00:09:01I...
00:09:02I left everything nice and tidy for Mrs. Byrne.
00:09:10Did you?
00:09:10Mr. Byrne, please let me buy.
00:09:24Mr. Byrne, please let me buy.
00:09:26Of course.
00:09:30Nice perfume you use, Emily.
00:09:34Emily.
00:09:35Oh, Mr. Byrne, you're hurting me.
00:09:48Emily.
00:09:48Emily.
00:09:49You've been drinking.
00:09:50Emily.
00:09:51You've been drinking.
00:09:52Let me go.
00:09:53Would you like me to tell my wife that you've been getting into her perfume?
00:09:54I don't care.
00:09:55Let me go.
00:09:56Let me go.
00:09:57Emily.
00:09:58Let me go.
00:09:59Let me go.
00:10:00Let me go.
00:10:02Stop it.
00:10:03Do you want the whole neighborhood to hear you?
00:10:05Pull yourself together and I'll let you go.
00:10:06Let me go.
00:10:07Let me go.
00:10:13Let me go.
00:10:16Let me go.
00:10:36That's better. All we needed was to have that old Gotham hear us.
00:10:50Emily! Emily! Emily! Emily!
00:10:56Emily!
00:11:05Mother of God.
00:11:26Mother of God.
00:11:36Mother of God.
00:11:40Mother of God.
00:11:44Mother of God.
00:11:50THE END
00:12:20Hello, Stephen. I've tried the front door, John.
00:12:44Thank heaven, it's you.
00:12:46What's happened?
00:12:47Well, there's been an accident.
00:12:49Marjorie?
00:12:50No, the new maid, Emily.
00:12:52She fell.
00:12:55Look, no, I, I...
00:12:56Stephen, what's the matter with you?
00:13:02Have you sent for a doctor?
00:13:03No, there's nothing anybody can do.
00:13:04She fell down the stairs.
00:13:05She hit her head.
00:13:05They'll blame me.
00:13:08Well, why should anybody blame you?
00:13:11Well, because I was playing the fool, pretending I was going to kiss her.
00:13:14She got frightened and something happened.
00:13:15I don't know what exactly, but of course they'll blame me.
00:13:17Stephen, stop it.
00:13:20Let me look at her.
00:13:29This girl didn't fall.
00:13:30She did.
00:13:31I saw her.
00:13:34She was strangled.
00:13:34If it's an accident, I tell you, I, I, I scarcely touched her.
00:13:37I hardly put my hands to her to prevent her screaming.
00:13:39You don't know how quickly it happened, John.
00:13:40You don't know.
00:13:45Where are you going?
00:13:47For the police.
00:13:47You can't.
00:13:48You're my brother.
00:13:50I've gotten you out of a lot of nasty scrapes, Stephen.
00:13:52But this is murder.
00:13:54John, don't let me down.
00:13:55You've always helped me.
00:13:56You can't do that to your own brother.
00:13:59Please, you have to help me.
00:14:00Please, John, please.
00:14:13All right, Stephen.
00:14:17All right, Stephen.
00:14:47I can't go through with this.
00:15:13You promised to stay up there.
00:15:15Listen to me.
00:15:16The only thing to do is to go to the police.
00:15:18Tell them exactly how it happened.
00:15:20It was an accident.
00:15:20But they'll never believe me.
00:15:22Even you don't believe me.
00:15:25Do you?
00:15:27I don't know what to believe.
00:15:29I only know that I'm not going to help you.
00:15:31For once, you're going to get out of this thing by yourself.
00:15:33John, if you won't do this for me, do it for Marjorie.
00:15:35For her sake.
00:15:37Did you know that Marjorie went into town today?
00:15:39To see the doctor?
00:15:40Is she you?
00:15:41She's going to have a baby.
00:15:48Now can you understand why I must get out of this?
00:15:50Why you must help me?
00:15:52Yes.
00:15:54I suppose I must.
00:15:57Good.
00:15:57Now go back and warn me if anyone comes.
00:15:59John.
00:16:27John.
00:16:28Wait a minute.
00:16:58It'll soon be over, John.
00:17:00She'll soon be in the river, and it'll all be forgotten.
00:17:02Forgotten?
00:17:03Yes, yes.
00:17:04I mean, for the time being.
00:17:05We'll wait it, and take it way out.
00:17:07We'll stay sunk.
00:17:08Steve.
00:17:09Down!
00:17:10Marjorie!
00:17:11Marjorie, is that you out there?
00:17:12No, it's me, Mrs. Ambrose.
00:17:13Oh, it's you, Steve.
00:17:15Stay down.
00:17:16I'll get rid of them.
00:17:17Marjorie, back there.
00:17:18Marjorie!
00:17:19Marjorie, is that you out there?
00:17:21No, it's me, Mrs. Ambrose.
00:17:23Oh, it's you, Steve.
00:17:24Stay down.
00:17:25I'll get rid of them.
00:17:26Marjorie, back there.
00:17:27Marjorie, back there.
00:17:28No, not yet, Mrs. Ambrose.
00:17:29I wanted to ask her what she was going to wear tonight.
00:17:32I thought of my best black.
00:17:34But still, in all, it's never very dressy at the Whitaker's.
00:17:36Well, she'll be home before long, Mrs. Ambrose.
00:17:38My, she stayed late, didn't she?
00:17:40Well, of course, the lawless are always hard to get away from.
00:17:43Maybe she missed her train.
00:17:44I'm not worried.
00:17:45She'll be here soon.
00:17:46Well, ask her to drop in for a moment if she has time.
00:17:48Will you, Steve?
00:17:49Yes, I'll do that.
00:17:50I must go in now.
00:17:51I have to get ready myself.
00:17:52Well, I'll see you at the party then.
00:17:53Until later.
00:17:57I thought the old hag would never leave.
00:17:58I thought you said Marjorie went to the doctors today.
00:17:59She did?
00:18:00Mrs. Ambrose said she went to the lawless.
00:18:01She went both places.
00:18:02The lawless live in the country.
00:18:03If she went there, it means she spent the day, I-
00:18:13I thought no longer the doctors.
00:18:14I thought you said Marjorie went to the doctors today.
00:18:15She did?
00:18:16Mrs. Ambrose said she went to the lawless.
00:18:17She went both places.
00:18:18The lawless live in the country.
00:18:19If she went there, it means she spent the day-
00:18:21I think she went to the doctors.
00:18:22Now stop quibbling and help.
00:18:23A scandal would ruin all of us.
00:18:24The Lawlers live in the country.
00:18:25If she went there, it means she spent the day.
00:18:26Maybe she went to the doctors.
00:18:28Now stop quibbling and help.
00:18:29A scandal would ruin all of us.
00:18:31Are there more people to be considered than this dead servant girl?
00:18:33You used to refer to her as Emily.
00:18:36Don't be like that.
00:18:37Can't you understand how I feel?
00:18:38If I could undo what's happened, if I could go back.
00:18:40But I can't.
00:18:42I've got to think of Marjorie and my child.
00:18:44This has been a lesson to me.
00:18:46I know I've been foolish, but I'll change.
00:18:47I swear I will.
00:18:51John, Marjorie will be back any minute.
00:18:54All right, Stephen.
00:18:57All right.
00:18:58Talk me into this, too.
00:19:00Since you have a thousand times before.
00:19:24That filthy moon.
00:19:30Don't you think we're going to tie the anchor to the sack?
00:19:33Yes.
00:19:36Others should do it.
00:19:38Push the anchor.
00:19:45All right.
00:19:46Lift up.
00:19:46Did you see that?
00:19:58What?
00:19:58Something bright.
00:19:59Something flashed out there in the water.
00:20:05Let's get away from here.
00:20:07I'll drop you off at Weed's Point so Marjorie doesn't see you.
00:20:09I'll drop you off at Weed's Point.
00:20:31How do you do that?
00:21:12Stephen?
00:21:15Marjorie.
00:21:18Is that you, Stephen?
00:21:22Yes, Marjorie.
00:21:24You frighten me.
00:21:26Sorry, dear. I couldn't seem to find the light.
00:21:29Where have you been, dear?
00:21:30I, uh, took the boat up.
00:21:32Well, do you know where Emily is?
00:21:36Emily?
00:21:37Yes. She's not in the house and she promised to help me dress for the party.
00:21:40Oh, she said something about going for a walk.
00:21:42Oh, not like her. She knows it's cooked day off and I'm alone.
00:21:45She probably went off with a young man someplace and forgot the time.
00:21:48I can help you if you like.
00:21:50I could say that you're all thomas today, but I won't.
00:21:56I'm not only doing my best, but I'm enjoying it.
00:21:58Oh, you're very sweet.
00:21:59Did you do much writing today?
00:22:01No.
00:22:02Why not?
00:22:03Oh, another script came back.
00:22:05I'm sorry, darling.
00:22:07Is that why you went boating?
00:22:12Yes, I suppose so.
00:22:17I should have been with you.
00:22:20Did you miss me?
00:22:23Very much.
00:22:24I wish you hadn't gone out today.
00:22:46Come on.
00:22:54Darling, what is it?
00:22:55What's happened?
00:22:56Oh, what is it?
00:22:57What is it?
00:23:01It's nothing.
00:23:02I have a terrible headache, that's all.
00:23:03Oh, then we'd better stay home tonight.
00:23:05No, no.
00:23:06I'll be all right.
00:23:07Don't worry.
00:23:08Oh, darling.
00:23:15Grab the lady by the hand.
00:23:17Round the lady over there.
00:23:19And to the center with a one, two, three.
00:23:24And round that gem from Tennessee.
00:23:26Oh, I can't anymore, Stephen.
00:23:27I'm sorry.
00:23:28Go on.
00:23:29You're the liveness of the bunch.
00:23:30Wonderful party, Mr. Whittaker.
00:23:31I'm a senior boy.
00:23:34Circuline.
00:23:35Eight hands around.
00:23:36Pull up your toe and you'll fall down.
00:23:37At last, my favorite part.
00:23:38How many car you said that this evening?
00:23:40Four.
00:23:41First time I've met it.
00:23:42Circuline.
00:23:43Eight hands around.
00:23:44Oh, Stephen, you're wonderful.
00:23:45You inspire me, isn't it?
00:23:46Stephen, you're right.
00:23:47It's really nice to sing.
00:23:48All of that land.
00:23:49Grab all of that land.
00:23:50First you're right, and then you're last.
00:23:53To meet your partner, give him a swing and throw him a huddle around the ring.
00:24:13Oh, that brother of yours, a real devil.
00:24:16A real devil.
00:24:17A real devil.
00:24:18Oh, Stephen, do you know what'll happen to me if I drink that?
00:24:20Why do you think I'm giving it to you?
00:24:21Oh, Stephen, you're the limit.
00:24:26Thanks.
00:24:27Oh, John, aren't you going to try the punch?
00:24:31No.
00:24:32I don't feel like drinking tonight.
00:24:34What's the matter with him?
00:24:35What?
00:24:36He seems depressed.
00:24:37Have you ever seen him when he wasn't?
00:24:38Oh, that's not nice, Stephen.
00:24:39It must be very hard to love music very much and not to be able to dance and to be a part
00:24:40of things.
00:24:41He could have been part of things tonight.
00:24:42Why didn't he call the dancers as I suggested?
00:24:43He's just naturally a wet blanket at all.
00:24:44That's very cruel, Stephen.
00:24:45You wouldn't have said such a thing if you hadn't had...
00:24:46Well, if you hadn't had, say, about four or too many.
00:24:47Don't start anything, Lodgrey.
00:24:48I'll go and see what's wrong with him.
00:24:49John!
00:24:50John!
00:24:51John!
00:24:52What's the matter with you?
00:24:53John!
00:24:54John!
00:24:55John!
00:24:57John!
00:24:58John!
00:24:59John!
00:25:01John!
00:25:02John!
00:25:03John!
00:25:05John!
00:25:06John!
00:25:07John!
00:25:09John!
00:25:10John!
00:25:11John!
00:25:12John!
00:25:13John!
00:25:14John!
00:25:15John!
00:25:17John!
00:25:18John!
00:25:19John!
00:25:20John!
00:25:21John!
00:25:22What is the purpose of all this dancing and drinking?
00:25:24Don't you understand?
00:25:25Can't you see what I'm trying to do?
00:25:26No.
00:25:27Well, if anything should ever come out, everyone will remember that we were here at the party acting
00:25:30in a normal manner.
00:25:31Well, I think it's repulsive.
00:25:32Do you think I'm enjoying myself?
00:25:34Frankly, I do.
00:25:35I think it went for the fact that I'm protecting both of us.
00:25:37Us?
00:25:38Yes, us.
00:25:39You helped me get rid of it didn't you?
00:25:40Whatever I've done, you're in it with me.
00:25:43So I advise you to keep your mouth shut.
00:25:44shut i had to remind you of that i'm going to join the party
00:26:15is that you mrs burns yes mrs eight oh you shouldn't have bothered to stay up for us
00:26:21oh mrs burns what is it it's emily she's not home yet she's not no when i first got here i thought
00:26:31maybe you'd send her on an errand or something she still isn't home i'm afraid something's happened
00:26:36she's probably with her parents no mr burns don't get on with them she would have told us if she
00:26:41was going to spend a night with them the thing that puzzles me is that none of her dresses are
00:26:44missing how do you know that mrs beach she showed me her things when she first came to us mr burn
00:26:53she didn't have very much well if none of her dresses are missing she can't have gone far
00:26:57naked steve i'm not going to sit up and worry about a promiscuous servant girl who wants to make a
00:27:01night of it someplace i'm going to bed
00:27:11like that was in my life without my touch if i was in my head of the way that was not
00:27:16to have my eyes out and find her life at the time it's a bad name that emily gaunt has given
00:27:20young women like myself in service bad name yes emily was a proper hussy
00:27:26getting about night after night young men followers in heaven knows what off
00:27:33there's no doubt that she was out with one of her many sweethearts the night she disappeared
00:27:37but that she was out with one of her many sweethearts
00:27:39the night she disappeared.
00:27:40And she went further than she meant.
00:27:44But, you make your own bed, you must lie on it.
00:27:49Would you like your eggs now?
00:27:52No, I don't care for any this morning.
00:27:54No, Mr. Byrne, you haven't eaten proper all week.
00:27:57Miss Bannon, did you know Emily Gaunt?
00:27:59No.
00:28:01But I know them that did.
00:28:03Seems to me you speak with great authority
00:28:05about a person you never knew.
00:28:06Well, Mrs. Beach knew her, didn't she?
00:28:09I happened to be present the day after Emily disappeared
00:28:11when the cook was questioned.
00:28:13She didn't give the impression she believed Emily wasn't a decent girl.
00:28:16Yes, but Miss Beach just happened to overhear Mr. Stephen
00:28:19when Emily's parents came worrying around the other day.
00:28:23Wouldn't you like just one egg?
00:28:26Emily's parents came to see my brother?
00:28:28Yes, and he let him have it, he did.
00:28:30Said he never should have let her work in an honest house in the first place.
00:28:33That she was a thief and a good-for-nothing trial.
00:28:36That's a lie!
00:28:38Good gracious, Mr. Byrne.
00:28:39Don't shout at me.
00:28:42It wasn't me that said it.
00:28:44It was your brother.
00:28:44It's the truth, John.
00:28:56At first, I didn't believe it either.
00:28:58But Stephen kept after me to go through my thing.
00:29:00Oh, it was Stephen then who was first suspicious.
00:29:03Yes.
00:29:04Our whole outfit was missing.
00:29:06Hat, dress, shoes, everything.
00:29:08And only yesterday I discovered that the opal earrings
00:29:11that Stephen had given me for my birthday were missing, too.
00:29:17Oh, but let's not talk about Emily anymore.
00:29:23It's Stephen that I'm concerned about.
00:29:27I don't know exactly how to say it.
00:29:29There's such a...
00:29:30such a peculiar look that comes over his face
00:29:34when he's talking about Emily.
00:29:37It almost seems as though we were actually enjoying it.
00:29:40As though he...
00:29:42delighted in her disappearance.
00:29:44And he goes on and on about her.
00:29:47Well, Marjorie, I...
00:29:48I wouldn't worry about it if I were you.
00:29:50After all, he's a...
00:29:52he's a writer.
00:29:53The...
00:29:54the mystery of her disappearance probably intrigued him.
00:29:57Oh, probably you're right.
00:29:59And he fancies the whole thing as a great big melodrama
00:30:03with himself in the leading role.
00:30:05He'd like that.
00:30:06Like the article in this morning's paper?
00:30:08I didn't see it.
00:30:09Stephen took it with him.
00:30:10He left early this morning.
00:30:15Haven't they promised to keep our name out of it?
00:30:18Well, you can't blame them.
00:30:19Makes a better story.
00:30:21I don't understand why they kept their promise
00:30:24for a whole week and...
00:30:25then suddenly today, even a picture of Stephen.
00:30:29I wonder how they got hold of it.
00:30:32I don't know.
00:30:35It...
00:30:35Why...
00:30:37There's only one print of that picture that I know of.
00:30:50Now, isn't he like a child?
00:30:52He wanted his picture in the paper.
00:30:54THE END
00:31:24How do you do, Mr. Byrne?
00:31:29Mr. Miller?
00:31:30What do you think of the display?
00:31:32Very attractive.
00:31:33But, uh, it wasn't up when I passed yesterday.
00:31:36No, your brother called me last night and told me of the publicity he was expecting in the papers.
00:31:41And he wanted me to cash in on it.
00:31:45Thank you, dear boy.
00:31:46Oh, gee, I'd love to be a writer, too.
00:31:50Well, why don't you try, Effie?
00:31:52Your mother says you're very good at making things up.
00:31:54But some of your excuses are masterpieces of imagination.
00:31:59Don't you listen to this scoundrel.
00:32:01Imagination's not enough.
00:32:03Just the other day I read in a magazine that a writer must write only about things he knows.
00:32:07If he puts down truthfully the things he's actually experienced, if they're exciting enough,
00:32:12he's bound to be very successful.
00:32:16It's very interesting, Mrs. Hampton.
00:32:18It's very interesting, Mr. Hampton.
00:32:48Don't touch that!
00:33:00Did you read it?
00:33:01No, I only picked it up.
00:33:04What's the matter, Stephen?
00:33:05Nothing. It's not ready to be read, that's all.
00:33:08You've never minded my reading your things before.
00:33:11I've changed my ideas about a lot of things.
00:33:13I know.
00:33:15Just the other night when you went out by yourself...
00:33:16Don't nag.
00:33:17The writer needs to be alone to gather experiences.
00:33:19Can't you understand that?
00:33:20That wasn't nagging, Stephen.
00:33:22What I started out to say was simply that when I was alone the other night...
00:33:25And John dropped in...
00:33:26What did he want?
00:33:27Nothing special.
00:33:29It seems so forlorn lately.
00:33:32We reminisced about those evenings when you used to read your stuff aloud to us.
00:33:37I wish you and John wouldn't discuss me behind my back.
00:33:39I'm not interested in what my brother has to say.
00:33:45He's a bookkeeper and will always be one.
00:33:47He'll never understand the problems of an artist.
00:33:49I was a fool to let you pick on me and criticize my writing.
00:33:51No one picked on you, Stephen.
00:33:52You asked us for our honest opinion and we gave it to you.
00:33:55Never mind.
00:33:55I didn't need anyone then and I don't need anyone now.
00:33:58I'm doing very well on my own.
00:34:00You mean since Emily...
00:34:00Go on.
00:34:10Go on.
00:34:11You can say it.
00:34:13I didn't mean it that way, Stephen.
00:34:15The success of my book since this Emily thing proves that they were good in the first place.
00:34:19All I needed was a little publicity.
00:34:21In the future they'll not only be good but they'll be great.
00:34:23Because they'll be about things I know.
00:34:24Like what you're writing now?
00:34:26Yes.
00:34:27Well, what's it about?
00:34:28Will you stop prying?
00:34:30Let's have our tea.
00:34:37I wasn't crying, Stephen.
00:34:38I was only interested.
00:34:40I don't care for any tea.
00:35:00John Byrne's accounting office.
00:35:04Walter Herbert.
00:35:05Office boy speaking.
00:35:08One moment, please.
00:35:11It's your housekeeper.
00:35:12She'd like a word with you, Mr. Byrne.
00:35:13Thank you, Walter.
00:35:14Check these over, Elmer.
00:35:26What is it, Miss Bantam?
00:35:27Mr. Byrne?
00:35:29With the cold weather coming on, I told the neighborhood boys to gather some driftwood.
00:35:33Save you catching coal like last year.
00:35:34But when I went to get the wood sack, I found that your brother hadn't returned it.
00:35:38I wonder, would you mind stopping there on your way home this evening?
00:35:42When did my brother borrow it, Miss Bantam?
00:35:44Several weeks ago when he was doing the gardening.
00:35:46He sent Emily for it.
00:35:48All right, I'll...
00:35:50When did you say he borrowed it?
00:35:52Several weeks ago.
00:35:52And even though that Emily isn't with them anymore, you'd think they'd return the sack.
00:35:57After all, your name's on it.
00:35:58My...
00:35:58My name is on it?
00:36:07Yes.
00:36:08I stenciled everything you own with India ink.
00:36:11I'll go for it, if you're missing.
00:36:13No, no.
00:36:14I'll stop by for it, Miss Bantam.
00:36:22I hate this river.
00:36:30We neighbors really should get a petition to see them.
00:36:34What's the trouble today, Mrs. Ambrose?
00:36:37That horrible thing floated by again.
00:36:39That dead animal.
00:36:43Couldn't be.
00:36:44Must have sunk long ago.
00:36:47No.
00:36:48No, it isn't.
00:36:50What's the sack?
00:36:50Yes, that's what it is.
00:36:53A sack of some kind.
00:36:55Probably filled with rubbish.
00:36:58You see it?
00:37:06What I've other things to do besides standing out here.
00:37:08But I tell you, Stephen, you should write up a petition for it.
00:37:12Yes.
00:37:13Yes, Mrs. Ambrose.
00:37:18This.
00:37:18The way some people use this river is it is great.
00:37:21THE END
00:37:51THE END
00:38:21THE END
00:38:23Plenty for your thoughts.
00:38:31Hello, John.
00:38:32Hello, Marjorie.
00:38:33Is Stephen in?
00:38:34No, he's on the river somewhere.
00:38:36He seems to have found an unusual interest there lately.
00:38:39But won't you come in?
00:38:50I'm glad you've come, John.
00:38:52I need someone to talk to very badly.
00:38:55When I feel like this, there doesn't seem to be anyone else in the world like me.
00:38:58Do you mind?
00:38:59You know that I don't.
00:39:00You're nice, John.
00:39:01Very, very nice.
00:39:03Yes.
00:39:03Like mint tea when you have a cold.
00:39:05Oh, no, John.
00:39:06Like a...
00:39:09Like a friend.
00:39:12More than that.
00:39:17Steven?
00:39:22I think you know, John, that I've tried to make a success of my marriage.
00:39:27It hasn't always been, well, exactly perfect.
00:39:32Maybe it was my fault.
00:39:34Girls have foolish ideas.
00:39:36And when they marry, they think they've snared Prince Charming himself.
00:39:40And he is charming, John.
00:39:43Very charming.
00:39:44But a woman sees deeper.
00:39:47I see things now in Steven that I never let myself see before.
00:39:50Don't get bitter, Marjorie.
00:39:53Oh, I know the countless things you've done for him.
00:39:55Oh, he couldn't live like this if you hadn't given up most of your share of the inheritance
00:39:59so that he could continue right...
00:40:00You wanted a career for him, didn't you?
00:40:02Yes.
00:40:03But I didn't want a freak success like this Emily's disappearance has brought on.
00:40:07At first, I thought it was simply childish the way he capitalized on it.
00:40:11There's a limit, and...
00:40:13And he's become ghoulish.
00:40:16You should have hurt him today.
00:40:18Did you quarrel?
00:40:19Yes.
00:40:22I hadn't wanted to tell you that.
00:40:25I'm beginning to wonder why he ever married me at all.
00:40:29Perhaps it was because he needed you.
00:40:34He told me today that he's never needed anyone.
00:40:38Well, let's just talk.
00:40:40Everybody needs someone.
00:40:42Believe me.
00:40:42Believe me.
00:40:42Believe me.
00:40:42Believe me.
00:40:43Believe me.
00:40:44Believe me.
00:40:46Believe me.
00:40:47Believe me.
00:40:48Believe me.
00:40:49Believe me.
00:40:50Believe me.
00:40:51Believe me.
00:40:52Believe me.
00:40:53Believe me.
00:40:54Believe me.
00:40:55Believe me.
00:40:56Believe me.
00:40:57Believe me.
00:40:58Believe me.
00:40:59Believe me.
00:41:00Believe me.
00:41:01Believe me.
00:41:02Believe me.
00:41:03Believe me.
00:41:04Believe me.
00:41:05Believe me.
00:41:06Believe me.
00:41:07Believe me.
00:41:08Believe me.
00:41:09Believe me.
00:41:10Believe me.
00:41:11Believe me.
00:41:12Believe me.
00:41:13Believe me.
00:41:14Believe me.
00:41:15Believe me.
00:41:16I'm sorry I said so much, John.
00:41:28It's unfair to talk about Stephen behind his back.
00:41:31But when you're worried, darkness does something to you.
00:41:35I understand, Marjorie.
00:41:38Perhaps you're not prepared to tell me yet, but since you are troubled, I'd like to tell you that I honestly think things are going to be better for you.
00:41:44Stephen's bound to change when the baby comes.
00:41:46The baby.
00:41:49Stephen told me.
00:41:52Stephen told you that I was going to have a baby?
00:41:57Yes.
00:41:58But it's not true.
00:42:00I wish that it were.
00:42:03Now what on earth would make him want to tell you a thing like that?
00:42:08Maybe I misunderstood.
00:42:09Oh, don't go protecting him again, John.
00:42:11You must know why he lied to you.
00:42:12I can't discuss it now, Marjorie.
00:42:25Tell him to come to my place when he gets home.
00:42:28I'll talk to him.
00:42:28I'll talk to him.
00:42:31I'll talk to him.
00:42:32No, no.
00:42:38I'll talk to him.
00:42:41I'll talk to you guys later.
00:42:43I'll talk to him again.

00:46:44Well, I'm leaving you, Mr. Byrne.
00:46:47I'm leaving tonight.
00:46:48And you can get somebody else to take your insults.
00:46:51And I hope you get a thieving hussy like that, Emily Conn.
00:46:54That's what you deserve.
00:46:55Not a decent girl like myself.
00:48:32Come on.
00:49:02Come on.
00:49:32Come on.
00:49:35It's come up, John.
00:49:51It's come up.
00:49:52What are you talking about?
00:49:53Emily's come back.
00:49:54What?
00:49:54The wood sack.
00:49:55It's come up out of the river.
00:49:56I've been up all night.
00:50:01I chased it for six miles, but the tide was too fast and I couldn't find it.
00:50:04I almost had her once, but she got away.
00:50:07It's your fault. Why didn't you try it securely?
00:50:10I was a fool to trust you.
00:50:11Quiet.
00:50:15It'll be passing up and down the river until they find it.
00:50:17Up and down the river. It'll go on for weeks.
00:50:20The police will find it soon enough.
00:50:23Yes, but they won't know we did it.
00:50:24I mean, there are hundreds of sacks like it.
00:50:28They won't trace it to us, will they?
00:50:30No.
00:50:32Not to us.
00:50:35They'll trace it to me.
00:50:38To you?
00:50:39My name is on it.
00:50:54There's a gentleman to see you, Mr. Byrd.
00:50:59You know, I don't wish to be disturbed.
00:51:01He's from the police, sir.
00:51:03Please.
00:51:07Send him in.
00:51:07Yes, sir.
00:51:23I am going to adjust a moment, please.
00:51:24Sorry, I wanted to get my thoughts down before they went away.
00:51:41I'm, uh, Lieutenant Sarkin, sir.
00:51:43How do you do?
00:51:43What can I do for you?
00:51:44Well, it's, um, it's about, um, this sack.
00:51:55Ever seen it before?
00:51:58I don't know.
00:52:00Sacks look pretty much alike.
00:52:02Well, looks like the wood sack that was stolen from here.
00:52:07Stolen?
00:52:08It belongs to my brother.
00:52:09Oh, yes, his name is stenciled in there.
00:52:12Is it?
00:52:12I didn't know that.
00:52:13You say that, uh, it was stolen from here?
00:52:16Yes, we borrowed it from him, and when I went to return it, it was gone.
00:52:19Hmm.
00:52:20About how long ago was that?
00:52:22About three or four weeks ago.
00:52:24But if you know it belongs to him, why do you return it to me?
00:52:27Well, we try to contact them all day, but they have no success.
00:52:31You see, this sack contained the body of Emily Gaunt.
00:52:37Clad only in this inexpensive dressing gown.
00:52:42And according to the medical experts who testified at this inquest,
00:52:47strangled and afterwards thrown into the river.
00:52:53Now, when did you first discover that this dressing gown was missing?
00:52:58It was, um, when we were getting our things together to send back to our parents.
00:53:03And, um, when and how did you discover that your own things were missing, Mrs. Byrne?
00:53:09The morning after, Emily failed to return.
00:53:11It was my husband who suggested that I go through my wardrobe.
00:53:15He insisted that inasmuch as none of Emily's dresses were missing,
00:53:18she might have gone out on some of my own things.
00:53:21And then we discovered that not only was my lace dress gone,
00:53:24but some of my best lingerie, uh, an evening wrap and a pair of silver slippers.
00:53:29Was there any other thing of value gone?
00:53:35Yes.
00:53:36Several days later, I found that
00:53:38but a pair of Opal earrings that my husband had given me for my birthday were missing, too.
00:53:44Then you're under the impression that it was Emily Gaunt who took these things.
00:53:54It was hard for me to believe,
00:53:56for in the short time that Emily worked for us, I found her most dependable.
00:54:00But I, I was forced to this conclusion.
00:54:05What is your occupation, Miss Dantam?
00:54:08I was a housekeeper in the home of Mr. John Byrne, sir.
00:54:12But I'm unemployed at present.
00:54:14How long were you employed there?
00:54:16It would have been five years. It's coming Christmas.
00:54:19Uh, why are you no longer employed by Mr. Byrne?
00:54:24Because he became too impossible to get along with
00:54:26from the time that Emily Gaunt disappeared.
00:54:37Please explain yourself, Miss Dantam.
00:54:39Well, Mr. Byrne became so irritable,
00:54:41I could scarcely speak to him and get a civil answer.
00:54:44In what manner would you say that he had changed?
00:54:47Well, Mr. Coroner,
00:54:49he was in the habit of eating a very hearty breakfast
00:54:51to all years I worked for him.
00:54:53But after that, Emily Gaunt disappeared.
00:54:57In fact, the very morning
00:54:59the story appeared in the newspapers,
00:55:01he scarcely touched a thing.
00:55:02And several times,
00:55:05when I even indicated that the hussy
00:55:07might have got what she deserved,
00:55:08he practically snapped my head off.
00:55:09Miss Dantam,
00:55:21tell us what you know about this sack.
00:55:24Miss Dantam,
00:55:25tell us what you know about this sack.
00:55:28It's Mr. John Byrne's all right.
00:55:44I stenciled his name in it.
00:55:46The one that was borrowed by Mr. Stephen Byrne?
00:55:49Yes, Mr. Stephen was doing some gardening
00:55:51and needed an extra sack.
00:55:53Emily came for it.
00:55:54And to your knowledge,
00:55:55the sack was never returned?
00:55:59No, sir.
00:56:01But of course,
00:56:02it might have been returned
00:56:04without my knowledge.
00:56:11What do you mean by that, Miss Dantam?
00:56:13I mean simply that it's peculiar to me
00:56:15that Mr. John Byrne would have allowed the sack
00:56:17to remain at his brother's
00:56:18for any length of time at all.
00:56:20Please clarify that statement.
00:56:21Well, it was his habit
00:56:24to go out and collect firewood off the river.
00:56:26I should say it's what might be called a hobby.
00:56:29The only sort of hobby possible
00:56:31for a man with his affliction.
00:56:33Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:56:34I shouldn't have said that.
00:56:35Please continue, Miss Dantam.
00:56:38Well, recently,
00:56:40I called in some of the neighborhood boys
00:56:42to gather firewood.
00:56:43But when I went for the sack,
00:56:44I found that Mr. Stephen hadn't returned it yet.
00:56:47So I phoned Mr. John,
00:56:49and he agreed to pick it up.
00:56:50But when he got home,
00:56:52I reminded him that he hadn't.
00:56:53He was quite rude to me.
00:56:55Said he was perfectly capable
00:56:57of running his own household.
00:57:00He raised his voice to such an extent
00:57:02that I was quite nervous and upset.
00:57:05Then he dismissed me.
00:57:06And when did the scene occur between you,
00:57:09Miss Dantam?
00:57:11It was the night before Emily's body
00:57:14was found in the river.
00:57:19You've heard testimony that you borrowed the sack
00:57:21some time ago from your brother.
00:57:23Is that correct?
00:57:24It is.
00:57:24And to your knowledge,
00:57:25it was never returned to your brother?
00:57:27That is correct.
00:57:28Before I could return it,
00:57:28I found that someone had stolen it.
00:57:30And has your brother access to your home?
00:57:35He has.
00:57:36You mean he has a key to your home?
00:57:39No, Mr. Coroner.
00:57:41The back door's always open.
00:57:43Then there was nothing to prevent
00:57:44his coming to your home
00:57:45at a time when you were not there
00:57:46and taking what was rightfully his.
00:57:49No, nothing to prevent it.
00:57:50But in this case,
00:57:51I don't think it's probable.
00:57:51By the way, Mr. Byrne,
00:57:56it may have helped this case
00:57:57if you'd reported that the sack
00:57:58had been stolen from your home.
00:58:00I didn't think the loss of an old sack
00:58:02worth troubling the police about.
00:58:03But why didn't you report the theft
00:58:04of the more valuable things either?
00:58:07The opal earrings, for example.
00:58:11Because I didn't wish to cause
00:58:13Emily's parents
00:58:14further concern.
00:58:18Besides, my wife and I felt that eventually
00:58:20poor Emily would return
00:58:22and the articles would be recovered.
00:58:26Now tell me, Mr. Byrne,
00:58:29when was the last time
00:58:31you used this sack
00:58:33for gathering wood?
00:58:35Some weeks ago.
00:58:36It's hard to say.
00:58:38Oh, could it have been
00:58:39about three weeks ago?
00:58:46What you mean is
00:58:47about the time
00:58:48that Emily Gaunt disappeared,
00:58:49I must ask you
00:58:50not to mind
00:58:51what I mean, Mr. Byrne.
00:58:53Would you say it was
00:58:55four, perhaps?
00:58:56I couldn't be sure.
00:58:58Then, would you say
00:58:59it was near the time
00:59:00that Emily Gaunt disappeared?
00:59:02I couldn't be sure.
00:59:06The collection of firewood,
00:59:08unlike a marriage
00:59:09or a birthday,
00:59:11is not a festive moment
00:59:12in my life.
00:59:13I don't remember.
00:59:16But you do remember
00:59:18the testimony
00:59:18that the sack
00:59:19was stolen
00:59:20from your brother.
00:59:24Will you kindly
00:59:25give an oral answer
00:59:27to the questions
00:59:28asked
00:59:28with this inquest?
00:59:31I do.
00:59:33Does it not
00:59:34strike you
00:59:35as being
00:59:36rather odd
00:59:37that a thief
00:59:39would bother
00:59:39to take
00:59:40an object
00:59:40of such
00:59:41little value?
00:59:43I wouldn't know.
00:59:45Or that a girl,
00:59:47if we concede
00:59:48for a moment
00:59:49that Emily Gaunt
00:59:50took it,
00:59:52do you think
00:59:52she would have
00:59:53taken such a sack
00:59:54with her
00:59:54to some
00:59:55mysterious rendezvous?
00:59:59I'm not here
01:00:00to answer riddles.
01:00:01No,
01:00:03I shouldn't
01:00:04think you were.
01:00:06Mr. Byrne,
01:00:07I will be
01:00:08more direct then.
01:00:10Did you know
01:00:11the deceased
01:00:11Emily Gaunt
01:00:13intimately?
01:00:20Mr. Byrne,
01:00:21I asked if...
01:00:22She was employed
01:00:22by my brother.
01:00:24I knew Emily Gaunt
01:00:25by sight.
01:00:26Is it usual
01:00:26for you to
01:00:27zealously defend
01:00:28persons whom
01:00:28you're known
01:00:28by sight
01:00:29to the extent
01:00:30that you snap
01:00:31off the head
01:00:32of a woman
01:00:32who has served
01:00:33you faithfully
01:00:33for five years?
01:00:34I would defend
01:00:35anyone who was
01:00:36being maliciously
01:00:36slandered.
01:00:37Very admirable
01:00:38indeed.
01:00:38Especially when
01:00:39they were being
01:00:39slandered by people
01:00:40whose bitterness.
01:00:41That is all,
01:00:41Mr. Byrne.
01:00:46For one who was
01:00:47not here to answer
01:00:48riddles,
01:00:48I must say
01:00:49you've done
01:00:49very well.
01:00:55Mr. Coroner,
01:00:56Mr. John Byrne
01:00:57was the last
01:00:58of the witnesses
01:00:58for this inquest.
01:01:00I have a few
01:01:03things I'd like
01:01:03to say
01:01:04if anyone
01:01:04will let me.
01:01:05If they pertain
01:01:06to this inquest
01:01:07by all means,
01:01:08Mrs. Ambrose.
01:01:09I can't sit here
01:01:10any longer
01:01:10listening to all
01:01:11these insinuations
01:01:12against a boy
01:01:12who couldn't
01:01:13possibly harm a fly.
01:01:14It's ridiculous,
01:01:15preposterous,
01:01:16it's downright silly,
01:01:18that's what it is.
01:01:19Mrs. Ambrose,
01:01:21will you kindly
01:01:21control your temper
01:01:23and give us
01:01:24a more coherent
01:01:25reason for your
01:01:26impatience with
01:01:26this inquest?
01:01:27Now, Harry,
01:01:29I'm not trying
01:01:29to take advantage
01:01:30of our friendship,
01:01:31but I've known
01:01:32these burn boys
01:01:32since they were
01:01:33lads,
01:01:34and John's only
01:01:35fault is that
01:01:35he works too hard
01:01:36and never thinks
01:01:36evil of anyone.
01:01:38And as for this
01:01:38silly old maid,
01:01:39her as plain as
01:01:40the nose on your face
01:01:41she's in love
01:01:41with him,
01:01:42and imagined
01:01:42heaven knows
01:01:43what about him.
01:01:44And when an old
01:01:44maid's in love,
01:01:45heaven protect
01:01:46the object of
01:01:47her affections
01:01:47if that love
01:01:48goes unrequited.
01:01:49All the devils
01:01:50and all the
01:01:51fjords!
01:01:51And if there's
01:01:59anyone else
01:02:00who wants to
01:02:00know anything
01:02:01about himself,
01:02:02just let me know.
01:02:08Was there
01:02:09anything else
01:02:09you wished
01:02:10to know,
01:02:11Harry?
01:02:12That will be
01:02:13all,
01:02:13Mrs. Ambrose.
01:02:16And so,
01:02:17in all probability,
01:02:18Emily Gaunt,
01:02:20dressed in her
01:02:20mistress's finery
01:02:22went off to
01:02:23some secret
01:02:24tryst.
01:02:25Therefore,
01:02:26the conclusion
01:02:26of this inquest
01:02:27is that the
01:02:28girl was murdered
01:02:29by person
01:02:31or persons
01:02:33unknown.
01:02:37Inquest
01:02:38dismissed!
01:02:42It's not
01:02:43it with Emily,
01:02:44but it might
01:02:45end with me.
01:02:48Here he comes
01:02:49now.
01:02:50Mr. Byrne.
01:03:06Mr. Byrne.
01:03:08Mr. Byrne!
01:03:11Yes?
01:03:12No, not you.
01:03:14Mr. Stephen Byrne.
01:03:15Me?
01:03:16Yes.
01:03:16They'd like to see you
01:03:17inside a moment.
01:03:19Certainly.
01:03:20You go on.
01:03:21I won't be long.
01:03:40Sorry to trouble you
01:03:41again, Mr. Byrne,
01:03:41but you probably
01:03:42realize the case
01:03:43is far from being
01:03:44closed.
01:03:45So?
01:03:46Are you certain
01:03:47you have nothing
01:03:47more you'd like
01:03:48to say to us?
01:03:49Nothing.
01:03:50I can understand
01:03:50your feeling,
01:03:51Mr. Byrne.
01:03:51After all,
01:03:52the man is
01:03:53your brother.
01:03:54But if there's
01:03:55any further light
01:03:56you can throw
01:03:57on this...
01:03:57There's nothing
01:03:57more I can say.
01:03:59Except that I'm
01:04:00fully convinced
01:04:00that my brother
01:04:01is innocent.
01:04:03Was that all?
01:04:04That was all.
01:04:16It was foolish
01:04:17to call him back.
01:04:34Yes?
01:04:42Stephen.
01:04:42What is it?
01:04:43You know I'm working.
01:04:44Stephen, why are you
01:04:45so irritable?
01:04:46What is it?
01:04:48I'm rather worried.
01:04:49Can't you wait
01:04:49and tell me about
01:04:50it later?
01:04:52All right.
01:04:52I'll be in my room.
01:04:54It's about
01:04:54Lieutenant Sarton.
01:04:55I'm sorry I snapped
01:05:25at you.
01:05:26I was trying
01:05:27to finish a chapter.
01:05:28What did you
01:05:29want to tell me?
01:05:34Well, it's that
01:05:37in these last weeks
01:05:38since the inquest
01:05:39I seem to run
01:05:41into that detective
01:05:42all the time.
01:05:44And just a little
01:05:44while ago
01:05:45at the market too.
01:05:47And he always
01:05:47looks at me
01:05:48as though...
01:05:49as though he
01:05:50thinks I know
01:05:51something I haven't
01:05:52told about Emily.
01:05:54Has he...
01:05:54ever asked you
01:05:56any questions?
01:05:57No, but last night
01:05:59after you'd gone out
01:06:00I decided to go
01:06:01over to Mrs. Ambrose's
01:06:02and I saw someone
01:06:03across the street.
01:06:05It looked like him.
01:06:07And I...
01:06:08I almost had a feeling
01:06:09that...
01:06:10that he's been
01:06:11watching the house.
01:06:13How long
01:06:13was he there?
01:06:14I don't know.
01:06:16When I got back
01:06:16he was gone.
01:06:17Well, if he has
01:06:27any snooping to do
01:06:28I should think
01:06:29he'd do it
01:06:29in John's direction.
01:06:30What do you mean,
01:06:31Stephen?
01:06:32You're at the inquest.
01:06:34You know what I mean.
01:06:35No, I don't.
01:06:37Well, if you ask me
01:06:38he acted so stupidly
01:06:39that he forced
01:06:40everyone to believe
01:06:40that he had
01:06:41something to do with it.
01:06:42Stephen!
01:06:42On top of everything else
01:06:44he hasn't acted
01:06:45normal since the inquest.
01:06:46He shuns everybody.
01:06:48He won't even talk to me.
01:06:50Let's face it.
01:06:52John's a cripple.
01:06:53He knows he hasn't
01:06:54a chance with a girl
01:06:54of our class.
01:06:56It's not hard to believe
01:06:56that he carried on
01:06:57with a servant girl.
01:06:58Stop it!
01:06:59Aside from everything
01:07:00he's done for you
01:07:01he's your brother.
01:07:05There's a limit
01:07:05to this business
01:07:06of being brothers, Marjorie.
01:07:08Stephen, you're insane.
01:07:12You're very fond of him,
01:07:13aren't you?
01:07:14You know that.
01:07:18Are you in love with him?
01:07:22How long has this been
01:07:23going on?
01:07:26I don't think
01:07:27I haven't been aware of it.
01:07:30You have a filthy mind.
01:07:42This isn't going to be
01:07:45very flattering, my dear.
01:07:47I haven't the slightest
01:07:48pang of jealousy.
01:07:49No, I shouldn't think
01:07:50you would.
01:07:51The husband who comes
01:07:52home drunk night
01:07:52after night
01:07:53and reeking of cheap
01:07:54perfume
01:07:55isn't exactly in a
01:07:56position to be jealous.
01:08:00Sometimes cheap perfume
01:08:01can be very exciting.
01:08:05You are a swine, Stephen.
01:08:12You are a swine, Stephen.
01:08:18Sometimes cheap perfume
01:08:18see if he can
01:08:19you don't have to
01:08:20to walk in.
01:08:30Oh, what kind of
01:08:33can you give them
01:08:33to be jealous?
01:08:34Don't have to be jealous.
01:08:35You're a folly.
01:08:35Wow.
01:08:36You're a folly.
01:08:39Oh, I have to ask them
01:08:39to ask me
01:08:40the woman who is
01:08:41Marjorie.
01:08:48Hello, John.
01:08:53Hello, Marjorie.
01:09:03I met your office boy on his way over here.
01:09:06I told him I'd bring these up for him.
01:09:08I've been here so many times, John.
01:09:11To the office, too.
01:09:12But you were never in.
01:09:14I know.
01:09:21Why have you refused to see me or to answer my call?
01:09:35Haven't you found a housekeeper yet?
01:09:36There seems to be an extreme shortage of domestic help at present.
01:09:41Why, that's not true.
01:09:42Only yesterday, Mrs. Beach was telling me...
01:09:44It's true in the case of Mr. John Byrne.
01:09:47Even the children know that I killed Emily Gaunt.
01:09:53I know, John.
01:09:54I've learned a lot about people myself.
01:09:57They can be very vicious.
01:10:02You think that because you've lived with them for years, they're fond of you.
01:10:06But it's not true.
01:10:07I'm going away, Marjorie.
01:10:12Oh, no, John.
01:10:15Oh, don't run away from them.
01:10:18I'm not running away from them.
01:10:20Is it that you think it'll be better for...
01:10:22for all of us if you go away?
01:10:25I've got to be sensible.
01:10:36Ever since the inquest, my mail consists chiefly of anonymous letters.
01:10:40Not too flattering suggestions.
01:10:43Most of my clients are closing out their accounts.
01:10:46John, maybe it wasn't wise, refusing to see people and not going anyplace.
01:10:50But you still have friends in this town.
01:10:53Let me give a party.
01:10:55We'll ask everyone you like.
01:10:56Our real friends.
01:10:58We'll show this town.
01:11:01Wouldn't do any good.
01:11:02This town likes its nasty little backstairs gossip.
01:11:06If I stay and...
01:11:08If you keep on seeing me, defending me,
01:11:11you'll think that we...
01:11:14I wouldn't put anything against them.
01:11:16I don't care what they say or think about me.
01:11:20Marjorie, my darling.
01:11:27I'd rather die than cause you any suffering.
01:11:29Oh, John, don't talk like that.
01:11:32There must be something I can do.
01:11:40No.
01:11:42The only thing to do is to go away.
01:11:44I thought it out very clearly.
01:11:45John.
01:11:47And promise me one thing.
01:11:48Before you do anything.
01:11:50Before you make any decisions.
01:11:53Let me know.
01:11:57I promise.
01:11:58I promise.
01:11:58Don't you come in, John.
01:12:17I'd rather not mind you.
01:12:19Good night, Ben.
01:12:20And thanks for seeing me home.
01:12:21Good night.
01:12:39Stephen.
01:12:40Stephen, it's about John.
01:12:42I'm not interested.
01:12:44Stephen, please.
01:12:45He's desperate.
01:12:46I'm afraid he's going to harm himself in some way.
01:12:48Don't be dramatic.
01:12:50He's much as told me so tonight.
01:12:52He said he'd rather be dead than go on the way things have been going.
01:13:00You mean suicide?
01:13:03Yes, Stephen.
01:13:04Please, Stephen.
01:13:05Try to stay with him as much as you can.
01:13:08If you hurry, you can catch up with him now.
01:13:10All right, Marjorie.
01:13:14If you insist.
01:13:15Thank you, Stephen.
01:13:25I almost forgot.
01:13:26Mrs. Ambrose was over.
01:13:28She said as long as it's Cook's day off, you should let her know if you want to have supper with her.
01:13:33I mean, don't move for her tonight.
01:13:34I'll have something here.
01:13:35I'll have something here.
01:13:40Well, you'd better tell her now before she goes to any trouble.
01:13:44You know how sensitive she is.
01:13:46Yes, I guess you're right.
01:14:10I mean, don't I want to access to any trouble?
01:14:20I mean, don't even try to see the death of Secretary of State.
01:14:26I don't see the death of those Judguns.
01:14:29I hope so.
01:14:30Don't mind.
01:14:30I don't see the death of my son.
01:14:32And there comes a lot to know.
01:14:34I can't think.
01:14:35I know what him is.
01:14:36This is a brown tire.
01:14:37Huh?
01:14:38Let's go.
01:15:08Let's go.
01:15:38Let's go.
01:16:08Let's go.
01:16:38Let's go.
01:16:39Let's go.
01:16:40Let's go.
01:16:41Let's go.
01:16:42Let's go.
01:16:43Let's go.
01:16:44Let's go.
01:16:45Let's go.
01:16:46Let's go.
01:16:47Let's go.
01:16:49Let's go.
01:16:50Let's go.
01:16:51Let's go.
01:16:52Let's go.
01:16:53Let's go.
01:16:54Let's go.
01:16:55Let's go.
01:16:56Let's go.
01:16:57Let's go.
01:16:58Let's go.
01:16:59Let's go.
01:17:00Let's go.
01:17:01Let's go.
01:17:02Let's go.
01:17:03Let's go.
01:17:04Let's go.
01:17:05Let's go.
01:17:06Let's go.
01:17:07Let's go.
01:17:08Let's go.
01:17:09Let's go.
01:17:10Let's go.
01:17:11Let's go.
01:17:12Let's go.
01:17:13Let's go.
01:17:14Let's go.
01:17:15Let's go.
01:17:16Let's go.
01:17:17Let's go.
01:17:18Let's go.
01:17:20Let's go.
01:17:21Let's go.
01:17:22What are you thinking of as you stood there?
01:17:30What were you thinking as you stood there?
01:17:32One night on this river.
01:17:33You know, John.
01:17:36In spite of everything that's happened.
01:17:40And everything that's going to happen.
01:17:43I want you to know that I...
01:17:47Maybe that's why my writing wasn't good.
01:17:49You were right in that.
01:17:50But I'm not afraid anymore, and I've written something good.
01:17:54Because it's real.
01:17:56It took a murder to do that.
01:17:59Doesn't the end justify the mean?
01:18:03You must be very, very ill, Stephen.
01:18:06Ill?
01:18:07Yes, sick.
01:18:08Otherwise, you couldn't think as you do.
01:18:10What's happened to you?
01:18:12You know, John, I wish I could really trust you again.
01:18:16I can't.
01:18:18Am I right?
01:18:24Suppose a policeman would have come up to us here, right now.
01:18:27Suppose you were to ask which of us killed Emily.
01:18:30What would you do?
01:18:32I know what you would do.
01:18:34You would point at me.
01:18:39Would I?
01:18:41You stepped right out of Emily's murder as though you were shedding your skin.
01:18:44You shifted the blame to me.
01:18:46Did I?
01:18:47Yes.
01:18:50John, which one of us would the world miss the most?
01:18:55I mean, if there were a choice of one of us.
01:18:57Blast the world.
01:18:59I'm going to start thinking about myself.
01:19:01You're very much in that with Marjorie.
01:19:03I know that.
01:19:04You've always been.
01:19:05You had the opportunity that night of getting rid of me by going to the police.
01:19:09Why didn't you take her?
01:19:11There are things you would never understand, Stephen.
01:19:14You're right, John.
01:19:15I can't understand my own brother expecting to go on sharing my wife with me.
01:19:23I'm going to the police, Stephen.
01:19:25I'm going to tell them the whole story, including my pardons.
01:19:28I should have a long time ago.
01:19:58I can't understand my life.
01:20:01I can't do it alone.
01:20:02Constantly leveraging in the Russian distance.
01:20:03I would permit it this latest thing to tell you.
01:20:05Everything I worked together but I could be going to buy.
01:20:09This is my wife.
01:20:10If we could be this old friend.
01:20:12I don't have lunch.
01:20:14I hate as you are not.
01:20:16I having bottled you at the time of your marriage.
01:20:17I even have space to actually all my life.
01:20:20I don't know what it is or Alfie...
01:20:23I haven't been sitting here soon.
01:20:25How many times have I told you to keep away from my desk?
01:20:52I didn't expect to have it read for some time, but since you have read it, tell me what you think about it.
01:20:59How can you ask me that?
01:21:02Well, don't you think it's good? Can't you appreciate its quality, quite apart from its content?
01:21:06Not when it says that my husband is a murderer.
01:21:09I thought I disguised it completely. But you read between the lines, didn't you?
01:21:13John must love you very much, letting everyone think he did it.
01:21:17Oh no, he loved you very much. He was old fashioned.
01:21:20He believed in chivalry. That's why he kept silent about it.
01:21:25But you, I don't think I can expect you to keep silent about it. Can I?
01:21:32You intend to go on forever, letting people think he did it?
01:21:37Let's go.
01:21:38If John disappeared tonight, if something should have happened to him, let's say he drowned himself in the river, that would solve everything, wouldn't it?
01:21:49Steve!
01:21:50Everyone would know that he was driven to commit suicide by his guilt, wouldn't they?
01:21:54You're forgetting about me.
01:21:56Oh no, I'm not forgetting about you.
01:22:00John committed suicide tonight.
01:22:03What?
01:22:04I saw to it.
01:22:05Before I'm through with you, they'll know that what John did once, he did again.
01:22:09Stephen, you're insane.
01:22:14You're insane.
01:22:15Am I?
01:22:29Now don't you realize, Marjorie, you're reading the manuscript to solve everything.
01:22:33You know, I met Emily on the stairs. She was coming down from her bath. She'd used your perfume.
01:22:43She looked rather pretty and I wanted to kiss her. But she got frightened and screamed.
01:22:46I had to stop her screaming. I didn't mean to kill her. I hardly touched her.
01:22:49But I didn't realize how easy it would be. So very easy.
01:23:03John!
01:23:20John!
01:23:24John!
01:23:26John!
01:23:28John!
01:23:30John!
01:23:31John!
01:23:32Christopher, let me go!
01:23:36Thank you, Emily!
01:23:37Emily!
01:23:38Emily!
01:23:39Emily!
01:23:40Emily!
01:23:41Let me go!
01:23:43Emily!
01:23:44Let me go!
01:23:45Emily!
01:23:46Let me go!
01:23:47Emily!
01:23:48Let me go!
01:23:49Let me go!
01:23:51Geoff er...
01:23:52John!
