00:00:00The
00:02:59My advice, spice them up, make them racy. That's what the public wants.
00:03:04What is it, Emily?
00:03:11Well, it's just that it's getting awfully late, Mr. Byrne, and 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. Use the upstairs one, if you like.
00:03:21Thank you, sir.
00:03:22How does your wife like the new maid, Stephen?
00:03:34What? Oh, very well, I think.
00:03:37Good.
00:03:38Oh, where is Marjorie, by the way? I 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. Did she say when she'd be back?
00:03:44Only in time to dress for Miss Whittaker's party.
00:03:46Good heavens.
00:03:47Why, I'd better go and finish my gardening so that I can start to get ready.
00:03:51I've still millions of things to do out here.
00:03:53I've still got to get ready.
00:04:23I've still got to get ready.
00:04:53I've still got to get ready.
00:05:23I've still got to get ready.
00:05:53I've still got to get ready.
00:08:54Did I?
00:08:58I thought you were still in the garden.
00:09:00Did you?
00:09:04I left everything nice and tidy for Mrs. Burney.
00:09:10Did you?
00:09:24Mr. Byrne, please let me by.
00:09:29Of course.
00:09:32Nice perfume you use, Emily.
00:09:46Oh, Mr. Byrne, you're hurting me.
00:09:48Emily.
00:09:49You've been drinking. Let me go.
00:09:52Would you like me to tell my wife that you've been drinking into her perfume?
00:09:54I don't care. Let me go. Let me go.
00:09:56Emily.
00:09:57Let me go.
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.
00:10:17Let me go.
00:10:22That's better.
00:10:23All we needed was to have that old Gotham hear us.
00:10:38That's better. All we needed was to have that old Gotham hear us.
00:10:47Emily! Emily!
00:10:51Emily! Emily!
00:10:54Emily! Emily!
00:10:57Emily!
00:11:05My God!
00:11:27Nhule her.
00:11:30Okay, let's open it.
00:11:35About 30 minutes.
00:11:38Pleaseć
00:11:41All right.
00:11:44Let's open the door.
00:11:48Oh, okay, we can see the window travel on the red suitē¾ a couple in the red suit on the red suit.
00:12:26Hello, Stephen.
00:12:41I tried the front door.
00:12:42John.
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.
00:12:54Look.
00:12:55No, I, I...
00:12:57Stephen, 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.
00:13:07Well, why should anybody blame you?
00:13:11Well, because I was playing the fool
00:13:13pretending I was going to kiss her.
00:13:14She got frightened and something happened.
00:13:15I don't know what exactly,
00:13:16but of course they'll blame me.
00:13:17Stephen, stop it.
00:13:18Let 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.
00:13:35It was an accident, I tell you.
00:13:35I scarcely touched her.
00:13:37I hardly put my hands to her
00:13:38to prevent her screaming.
00:13:38You don't know how quickly
00:13:39it 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
00:13:51of 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
00:13:57to your own brother.
00:13:59Please, you have to help me.
00:14:00Please, John, please.
00:14:01Please.
00:14:01All right, Stephen.
00:14:13All right, Stephen.
00:14:31All right, Stephen.
00:15:01I 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
00:15:17is to go to the police
00:15:18and tell 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
00:15:29I'm not going to help you.
00:15:31But once you're going
00:15:32to get out of this thing
00:15:32by yourself.
00:15:33John, if you won't do this for me,
00:15:34do it for Marjorie.
00:15:35For her sake.
00:15:37Did you know that Marjorie
00:15:37went into town today
00:15:38to see the doctor?
00:15:41Is she ill?
00:15:44She's going to have a baby.
00:15:48Now can you understand
00:15:49why 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
00:15:58if 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.
00:17:18No, it's me, Mrs. Ambrose.
00:17:19Oh, it's you, Steve.
00:17:21Stay down.
00:17:22I'll get rid of them.
00:17:23Marjorie, back there.
00:17:24No, it's me, Mrs. Ambrose.
00:17:25Oh, it's you, Steve.
00:17:26Stay down.
00:17:27Marjorie back yet?
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 she said Marjorie went to the doctors.
00:17:59She did?
00:18:00Mrs. Ambrose said she went to the lawless.
00:18:01Mrs. Ambrose said she went to the lawless.
00:18:02She went both places.
00:18:03The lawless lived in the country.
00:18:04If she went there, it means she spent the day
00:18:25if she went there it means she spent the day she went to the doctors now stop
00:18:28quibbling and help a scandal would ruin all of us there are more people to be
00:18:31considered than this dead servant girl you used to refer to her as Emily don't
00:18:36be like that can't you understand how I feel if I could undo what's happened if
00:18:39I could go back but I can't I've got to think of Marjorie and my child this has
00:18:45been a lesson to me I know I've been foolish but I'll change I swear I will

00:21:19Is that you, Stephen?
00:21:22Yes, Marjorie.
00:21:25You frighten me.
00:21:27Sorry, dear.
00:21:28I couldn't seem to find the light.
00:21:30Where have you been, dear?
00:21:31I, uh, took the boat up.
00:21:33Do you know where Emily is?
00:21:36Emily?
00:21:37Yes.
00:21:38She's not in the house, and she promised they'd help me dress for the party.
00:21:40Oh, she said something about going for a walk.
00:21:43Not like that. She knows his cook day off and I'm alone
00:21:46She probably went off with a young man someplace and forgot the time I can help you if you like I
00:21:53Could say that you're all Thomas today, but I won't I'm not only doing my best, but I'm enjoying it. Oh, you're very sweet
00:22:00Did you do much writing today?
00:22:03Why not? Oh another script came back. I'm sorry darling
00:22:09That way you went boating
00:22:13Yes
00:22:18I should have been with you
00:22:21Did you miss me
00:22:24Very much
00:22:40Wish you hadn't gone out today
00:22:43Darling what is it what's happened? Oh, what is it? What is it?
00:23:01It's nothing I have a terrible headache that's all
00:23:04Oh, then we better stay home tonight
00:23:06No, no, I'll be all right. Don't worry
00:23:08Oh, darling
00:23:16Grab the lady by the hair round the lady over there
00:23:19Oh
00:23:23Into the center with a one two three and round that gem from Tennessee
00:23:26Oh, I can't anymore, Stephen. I'm so sorry
00:23:28Go on. You're the liveness of the bunch
00:23:29Wonderful party, Mr. Whitaker
00:23:31I was a junior boy
00:23:33Circuline, eight hands around
00:23:35Grab your toe and you'll fall down
00:23:37At last, my favorite time
00:23:38How many car you said that this evening?
00:23:40Four, first time I've met it
00:23:41Circuline, eight hands around
00:23:42Oh, Stephen, you're wonderful
00:23:43Oh, Stephen, you're wonderful
00:23:44You inspire me, isn't it?
00:23:45Oh, Stephen, you're right
00:23:46It's really nice to sing
00:23:48Alamat left, Grab Island left
00:23:50First you're right and then you're left
00:23:52To meet your partner and give her a swing
00:23:54And throw her a huddle around the ring
00:24:14Oh, that brother of yours is a real devil
00:24:16A 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?
00:24:24Oh, Stephen, you're the limit
00:24:27Oh, John, aren't you going to try the punch?
00:24:32No, I don't feel like drinking tonight
00:24:38What's the matter with him?
00:24:40What?
00:24:41He seems depressed
00:24:42Have you ever seen him when he wasn't?
00:24:44Oh, that's not nice, Stephen
00:24:46It must be very hard to love music very much
00:24:48Not to be able to dance and to be a part of things
00:24:50He could have been part of things tonight
00:24:52Why didn't he call the dancers as I suggested?
00:24:54He's just naturally a wet blanket, I thought
00:24:56That's very cruel, Stephen
00:24:58You wouldn't have said such a thing if you hadn't had
00:25:00Well, if you hadn't had, say, about four or too many
00:25:04Don't start anything, Largerie
00:25:06I'll go see what's wrong with him
00:25:14John
00:25:18Why are you leaving?
00:25:20What is the purpose of all this dancing, this drinking?
00:25:22Don't you understand?
00:25:24Can't you see what I'm trying to do?
00:25:25No
00:25:26Well, if anything should ever come out
00:25:28Everyone will remember that we were here at the party
00:25:30Acting in 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'd beware 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
00:25:42So I advise you to keep your mouth shut
00:25:46Sorry I had to remind you of that
00:25:50Come on, I'm gonna join the party
00:25:56Thank you
00:26:15Is that you, Mrs. Burns?
00:26:17Yes, Mrs. Beach
00:26:18Oh, you shouldn't have bothered to stay up for us
00:26:20Oh, Mrs. Burns
00:26:22What is it?
00:26:24It's Emily
00:26:25She's not home yet
00:26:27She's not?
00:26:28No
00:26:29When I first got here, I thought
00:26:30Maybe you'd send her on an errand or something
00:26:32She's still at the home
00:26:34I'm afraid something's happened
00:26:36She's probably with her parents
00:26:37No, Mr. Burns
00:26:38Don't get on with them
00:26:39Well, she would have told us
00:26:40If she was going to spend a night with them
00:26:41The thing that puzzles me
00:26:42Is that none of her dresses are missing
00:26:46How do you know that, Mrs. Beach?
00:26:50She showed me her things
00:26:51When she first came to us, Mr. Burns
00:26:52She didn't have very much
00:26:54Well, if none of her dresses are missing
00:26:55She can't have gone far
00:26:56Naked
00:26:57Steve
00:26:58I'm not gonna sit up and worry about a promiscuous servant girl
00:27:00Who wants to make a night of it someplace
00:27:01I'm going to bed
00:27:02I made a bed
00:27:12Wouldn't waste my time reading such trash if I were you, Mr. Burns
00:27:16Since one is the disappearance of a human being considered trash, in your estimation, Miss Bandom
00:27:21Since I found out with a bad name that Emily Gaunt has given young women like myself
00:27:26In service
00:27:27Bad name?
00:27:28Yes
00:27:29That Emily was a proper hussy
00:27:31Gadding about night after night
00:27:33Young men followers and heaven knows what all
00:27:36There's no doubt but that she was out with one of her many sweethearts the night she disappeared
00:27:40And she went further than she meant
00:27:42But, if you make your own bed, you must lie on it
00:27:48Would you like your eggs now?
00:27:51No, I don't care for any this morning
00:27:53Now, Mr. Burns, you haven't eaten proper all week
00:27:56Miss Bandom, did you know Emily Gaunt?
00:27:59No
00:28:00But I know them that did
00:28:02Seems to me you speak with great authority about a person you never knew
00:28:05Well, Mrs. Beach knew it, didn't she?
00:28:08I happened to be present the day after Emily disappeared when the cook was questioned
00:28:12She didn't give the impression she believed Emily wasn't a decent girl
00:28:15Yes, but Miss Beach just happened to overhear Mr. Steven
00:28:18When Emily's parents came worrying around the other day
00:28:21Wouldn't you like just one egg?
00:28:24Emily's parents came to see my brother?
00:28:27Yes, 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 troll
00:28:36That's a lie
00:28:37Good gracious, Mr. Burns
00:28:39Don't shout at me
00:28:41It wasn't me that said it
00:28:43It was your brother
00:28:54It's the truth, John
00:28:56At first I didn't believe it either
00:28:57But Steven kept after me to go through my things
00:28:59Oh, it was Steven then who was first suspicious
00:29:02Yes
00:29:03Our whole outfit was missing
00:29:05Hat, dress, shoes, everything
00:29:07And only yesterday I discovered that the opal earrings that Steven had given me for my birthday were missing too
00:29:13But let's not talk about Emily anymore
00:29:18It's the demon that I'm concerned about
00:29:19I don't know exactly how to say it
00:29:20There's such a...
00:29:21Such a peculiar look that comes over his face when he's talking about Emily
00:29:24It almost seems as though we were actually enjoying it
00:29:27As though he...
00:29:28Delighted in her disappearance
00:29:29And...
00:29:30And...
00:29:31And...
00:29:32And...
00:29:33And...
00:29:34And...
00:29:35And...
00:29:36And...
00:29:37And...
00:29:38And...
00:29:40Yeah...
00:29:41And...
00:29:42And...
00:29:43He goes on and on about her
00:29:45Well, Marjorie, I...
00:29:46I wouldn't worry about him if I were you
00:29:47After all, he's a...
00:29:49if i were you after all he's a he's a writer the mystery of her disappearance probably intrigued
00:29:57him oh probably you're right and he fancies the whole thing is a great big melodrama with himself
00:30:03in the leading role he'd like that like the article in this morning's paper i didn't see it
00:30:09steven took it with him he left early this morning
00:30:11haven't they promised to keep our name out of it well you can't blame them makes a better story
00:30:22i don't understand why they kept their promise for a whole week and
00:30:25and suddenly today even a picture of steven i wonder how they got hold of it i don't know
00:30:36why there's only one print of that picture that i know of
00:30:41so isn't he like a child he wanted picture in the paper
00:31:11so
00:31:27how do you do mr byrne mr miller what do you think of the display very attractive but uh it wasn't up
00:31:35when i passed yesterday no your brother called me last night and told me of the publicity he was
00:31:39expecting in the papers and he wanted me to cash in on it
00:31:42i don't know why don't you try effie your mother says you're very good at making things up but some of your excuses are masterpieces of imagination
00:31:57i don't know why don't you listen to this scoundrel imagination's not enough just the other day i read
00:32:04in the magazine that a writer must write only about things he knows if he puts down truthfully the
00:32:09things he's actually experienced if they're exciting enough he's bound to be very successful it's very interesting mrs
00:32:31don't touch that
00:32:43did you read it no i i only picked it up what's the matter steven
00:32:51nothing it's not ready to be read that's all you've never minded my reading your things before i've changed my ideas about a lot of things
00:32:57i know
00:32:59just the other night when you went out by yourself
00:33:01don't nag
00:33:03the writer needs to be alone to gather experiences can't you understand that
00:33:05i wasn't nagging steven what i started out to say was simply that when i was alone the other night and john dropped in what did he want
00:33:13nothing is special

00:38:26funny for your thoughts
00:38:27hello John hello Marjorie just even now no he's on the river somewhere you just have found an unusual interest there
00:38:38I'm glad you've come John I need someone to talk to very badly when I feel like this there doesn't seem to be anyone else in the world like you you mind you know that I don't you're nice John very very nice yes like mint tea when you have a cold oh no John like it
00:39:08like a friend more than that Steven I think you know John that I tried to make a success of my marriage it hasn't always been well exactly perfect maybe it was my fault girls have foolish ideas and when they marry they think they've snared Prince Charming
00:39:38himself and he is charming John very charming but a woman sees deeper I see things now in Steven that I never let myself see before don't get bitter Marjorie oh I know the countless things you've done for him and we couldn't live like this if you hadn't given up most of your share of the inheritance so that he could continue right you wanted a career for him didn't you yes
00:40:08he was simply childish the way he capitalized on it there's a limit and he's become ghoulish
00:40:14you should have heard him today did you quarrel
00:40:19yes I hadn't wanted to tell you that
00:40:23I'm beginning to wonder why he ever married me at all
00:40:28perhaps it was because he needed you
00:40:31he told me today that he's never needed anyone
00:40:37I was just told everybody needs someone
00:40:41believe me
00:40:42are you lonely John
00:40:56are you lonely John
00:40:58you
00:41:21um
00:41:22Sorry 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.
00:41:48The baby?
00:41:49Stephen told me.
00:41:50Stephen told you that I was going to have a baby?
00:41:57Yes.
00:41:58But it's not true.
00:42:00Wish 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 be right back to him.
00:42:30Okay.
00:42:31But there's no way to go.
00:42:45Do you remember where he came from here?
00:42:47No?
00:42:49No.
00:42:50Whatever.

00:50:32THEY WON'T TRACE IT TO US, WILL THEY?
00:50:34NO, NOT TO US.
00:50:36THEY'LL TRACE IT TO ME
00:50:38TO YOU
00:50:40MY NAME IS ON IT
00:50:42There'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.
00:51:07Send him in.
00:51:08Yes, sir.
00:51:12I'm going to adjust a moment, please.
00:51:39Sorry, I wanted to get my thoughts down before they went away.
00:51:41I'm Lieutenant Sarton, sir.
00:51:43How do you do?
00:51:43What can I do for you?
00:51:44Well, it's, um...
00:51:49It's about, um...
00:51:53This sack.
00:51:55Ever seen it before?
00:51:58I don't know.
00:52:00Sacks look pretty much alike.
00:52:02Well...
00:52:03Looks like the wood sack that was stolen from here.
00:52:07Stolen?
00:52:08It belonged to my brother.
00:52:09Oh, yes.
00:52:10His name is stenciled in there.
00:52:12Is it?
00:52:12I didn't know that.
00:52:13You say that it was stolen from here?
00:52:16Yes.
00:52:16We 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 tried to contact them all day, but they had 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.
00:52:51Now, when did you first discover that this dressing gown was missing?
00:52:58It was, um, when we were getting her things together to send back to her 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.
00:53:20And then we discovered that not only was my lace dress gone,
00:53:25but some of my best lingerie, 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,
00:53:58I found her most dependable.
00:54:00But I, I was forced to this conclusion.
00:54:02What 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.
00:54:17It's coming Christmas.
00:54:19Uh, why are you no longer employed by Mr. Byrne?
00:54:23Because 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 draw you to work for him.
00:54:53But after that, Emily Gaunt disappeared.
00:54:57In fact, the very morning the story appeared
00:55:00in the newspapers, he scarcely touched a thing.
00:55:04And several times,
00:55:05when I even indicated that the hussy might have
00:55:07got what she deserved,
00:55:08he practically snapped my head off.
00:55:21Miss Dantam,
00:55:35tell us what you know about this sack.
00:55:41It'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,
00:56:03it might have been returned without 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 for any length of time at all.
00:56:20Please clarify that statement.
00:56:22Well, 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.
00:56:37Well, 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.
00:57:03Then he dismissed me.
00:57:07And when did this scene occur
00:57:08between you, Miss Dantam?
00:57:11It was the night before Emily's body
00:57:14was found in the river.
00:57:19You've heard testimony
00:57:20that 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
00:57:31access to your home?
00:57:33He 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.
00:57:55By the way, Mr. Byrne,
00:57:56it may have helped this case
00:57:57if you'd reported that
00:57:58the sack had been stolen
00:57:59from your home.
00:58:00I didn't think the loss
00:58:01of an old sack
00:58:02worth troubling the police about.
00:58:03But why didn't you report
00:58:04the theft of the more
00:58:05valuable 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
00:58:19felt that eventually
00:58:20poor Emily would return
00:58:22and the articles
00:58:23and the articles
00:58:23will be recovered.
00:58:27Now 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.
00:58:39Could it have been
00:58:39about three weeks ago?
00:58:41What you mean is
00:58:47about the time
00:58:48that Emily Gaunt
00:58:48disappeared?
00:58:49I must ask you
00:58:50not to mind
00:58:51what I mean,
00:58:52Mr. 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
00:59:01disappeared?
00:59:02I couldn't be sure.
00:59:04the 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.
00:59:14I 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 for this inquest?
00:59:31I do.
00:59:34Does it not strike you
00:59:35as being rather odd
00:59:37that a thief would bother
00:59:39to take an object
00:59:40of such little 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 taken
00:59:53such a sack with her
00:59:54to some, uh,
00:59:56mysterious rendezvous?
00:59:59I'm not here
01:00:00to answer riddles.
01:00:02No.
01:00:03I shouldn't think
01:00:04you were.
01:00:06Mr. Byrne,
01:00:07I will be more direct
01:00:08then.
01:00:09Did 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 zealously
01:00:27defend persons
01:00:28whom you'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.
01:00:50Mr. Byrne,
01:00:56Mr. John Byrne
01:00:57was the last
01:00:58of the witnesses
01:00:58for this inquest.
01:01:02I 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,
01:01:20will 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?
01:01:28Now, 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 Byrne 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,
01:01:39as plain as the nose
01:01:40on your face,
01:01:41she's in love with him,
01:01:42and imagined heaven
01:01:43knows what about him.
01:01:44And when an old maid's
01:01:45in love,
01:01:45heaven protects the
01:01:46object of her affections
01:01:47if that love
01:01:48goes unrequited.
01:01:49all the devils
01:01:50and all the fiorets.
01:01:51Oh!
01:01:59And if there's anyone else
01:02:00who wants to know
01:02:01anything about himself,
01:02:02just let me know.
01:02:03was there anything else
01:02:09you wished to know,
01:02:11Harry?
01:02:12That will be all,
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 some
01:02:23secret tryst.
01:02:24therefore,
01:02:26the conclusion
01:02:26of this inquest
01:02:27is that the girl
01:02:29was murdered
01:02:29by person
01:02:31or persons unknown.
01:02:37Inquest dismissed!
01:02:42It's not with Emily,
01:02:44but it might end
01:02:45with me.
01:02:48Here he comes now.
01:02:49Oh, Mr. Byrne!
01:03:08Mr. Byrne!
01:03:11Yes?
01:03:12No, not you.
01:03:13Mr. 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?
01:04:06That was all.
01:04:15it was foolish to call
01:04:18him back.
01:04:38Yes?
01:04:39Stephen.
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 it
01:04:50later?
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.
01:05:58But 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, Henry.
01:08:13You are a swine,
01:08:35but...
01:08:36Marjorie.
01:08:48Hello, John.
01:08:53Hello, Marjorie.
01:09:03I met your office boy on his way over here.
01:09:05I told him I'd bring these up for him.
01:09:09I'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?
01:09:23I'm sorry.
01:09:37Haven't you found a housekeeper yet?
01:09:39There seems to be an extreme shortage of domestic help at present.
01:09:41It'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.
01:09:55I'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.
01:10:13Oh, 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...
01:10:23for all of us if you go away?
01:10:30I've got to be sensible.
01:10:31I've got to be sensible, Marjorie.
01:10:32I've got to be sensible, Marjorie.
01:10:36Ever since the inquest, my mail consists chiefly of anonymous letters.
01:10:41Not too flattering suggestions.
01:10:43Most of my clients are closing out their accounts.
01:10:47John, maybe it wasn't wise, refusing to see people and not going anyplace.
01:10:51But you still have friends in this town.
01:10:54Let me give a party.
01:10:55We'll ask everyone you like.
01:10:57Our real friends.
01:10:58We'll show this town.
01:10:59It wouldn't do any good.
01:11:02This town likes its nasty little backstairs gossip.
01:11:06If I stay and 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.
01:11:23Marjorie, 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,
01:11:47then promise me one thing.
01:11:49Before you do anything,
01:11:50before you make any decisions,
01:11:53let me know.
01:11:54I promise.
01:11:57I promise.
01:12:14Won't you come in, John?
01:12:15I'd rather not mind you.
01:12:19Good night, Ben,
01:12:20and thanks for seeing me home.
01:12:22Good night.
01:12:23Stephen.
01:12:23Stephen.
01:12:24Stephen, it's about John.
01:12:42I'm not interested.
01:12:44Stephen, please.
01:12:45He's desperate.
01:12:45I'm afraid he's going to harm himself in some way don't be dramatic he's much as told me so tonight
01:12:51He said he'd rather be dead than go on the way things have been going
01:13:00You mean
01:13:02Suicide yes, even please try to stay with him as much as you can
01:13:07If you hurry you can catch up with him now
01:13:11All right, Marjorie
01:13:13You insist
01:13:15Thank you, Stephen
01:13:25I almost forgot
01:13:26Mrs. Ambrose was over
01:13:28She said as long as this cooks day off you should let her know if you want to have supper with her
01:13:33Ivan, don't move for her tonight. I'll have something here
01:13:41Well, you 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
01:13:47I don't know how sick you are
01:13:48Well, you better tell her
01:13:49I'll have to make a mistake
01:13:50Well, my skin is very nice
01:13:50You can have a good night
01:13:51I'll have to make a mess
01:13:52Now let's go to the room
01:13:52Then she'll let her come to the room
01:13:53Now let's go to the room
01:13:54I'll have to make a mess
01:13:54I'll have to make a mess
01:13:55It sure looks pretty good
01:13:56So let me know
01:16:57She sent me to look for you.
01:16:59Lucky I found you, isn't it?
01:17:00What do you mean?
01:17:03Well, you might have...
01:17:05No, suicide would only convince everyone that they'd been right.
01:17:16I'm glad you realized that.
01:17:17What were you thinking of as you stood there?
01:17:19What were you thinking of as you stood there?
01:17:22Of another night on this river.
01:17:23You know, John, in spite of everything that's happened, and everything that's going to happen, I...
01:17:36I want you to know that I've gained something.
01:17:39I've gained something.
01:17:40Gained something?
01:17:40Yes, I was always afraid as a child.
01:17:42I didn't have the courage to do things.
01:17:44I was afraid of people, what they might say or think.
01:17:47Maybe that's why my writing wasn't good.
01:17:49You were right in that.
01:17:51But I'm not afraid anymore, and I've written something good.
01:17:54Because it's real.
01:17:55It took a murder to do that.
01:18:00Doesn't the end justify the mean?
01:18:04You must be very, very ill, Stephen.
01:18:06Ill?
01:18:07Yes, sick.
01:18:09Otherwise, you couldn't think as you do.
01:18:11What's happened to you?
01:18:13You know, John, I wish I could really trust you again.
01:18:17But I can't.
01:18:19Am I right?
01:18:20I don't know.
01:18:25Suppose a policeman would have come up to us here right now.
01:18:28Suppose you were to ask which of us killed Emily.
01:18:31What would you do?
01:18:33I 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.
01:18:47Did 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.
01:18:58Blast the world.
01:18:59I'm going to start thinking about myself.
01:19:01You're very much in love with Marjorie.
01:19:03I know that.
01:19:04You've always been.
01:19:06You had the opportunity that night of getting rid of me by going to the police.
01:19:10Why didn't you take her?
01:19:12There are things you would never understand, Stephen.
01:19:15You're right, John.
01:19:16I can't understand my own brother expecting to go on sharing my wife with me.
01:19:20I'm going to the police, Stephen.
01:19:25I'm going to tell them the whole story, including my pardon.
01:19:29I should have a long time ago.
01:19:50I'm going to tell them the whole story.
01:20:00Well, let's go.
01:20:01Let's go.
01:20:31How many times have I told you to keep away from my desk?
01:20:54I hadn't expected to have it read for some time.
01:20:57But since you have read it, tell me what you think about it.
01:20:59How can you ask me that?
01:21:03Well, don't you think it's good?
01:21:04Can't you appreciate its quality, quite apart from its content?
01:21:07Not when it says that my husband is a murderer.
01:21:10I thought I disguised it completely.
01:21:12But you read between the lines, didn't you?
01:21:14John must love you very much, letting everyone think he did it.
01:21:17Oh, no. He loved you very much.
01:21:19He was old-fashioned.
01:21:21He believed in chivalry.
01:21:23That's why he kept silent about it.
01:21:26But you, I don't think I can expect you to keep silent about it.
01:21:32Can I?
01:21:33You intend to go on forever, letting people think he did it?
01:21:35If John disappeared tonight, if something should have happened to him,
01:21:45let's say he drowned himself in the river,
01:21:47that would solve everything, wouldn't it?
01:21:49Steve!
01:21:49Everyone would know that he was driven to commit suicide by his guilt, wouldn't they?
01:21:55You're forgetting about me.
01:21:57Oh, no.
01:21:58I'm not forgetting about you.
01:22:01John 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.
01:22:13Stephen, you're insane.
01:22:15Am I?
01:22:15Don't you realize, Marjorie, you're reading the manuscript to solve everything.
01:22:35You know, I met Emily on the stairs.
01:22:38She was coming down from her bath.
01:22:40She'd used your perfume.
01:22:43She looked rather pretty, and I wanted to kiss her.
01:22:45She got frightened and screamed.
01:22:46I had to stop her screaming.
01:22:47I didn't mean to kill her.
01:22:48I hardly touched her.
01:22:50But I didn't realize how easy it would be.
01:22:53So very easy.
01:22:54Be careful, honey.
01:23:01It's a baby.
01:23:11It's a baby.
01:23:17It's a baby.
01:23:20Would you be a murderer?
01:23:20Let me go!
01:23:37Emily...
01:23:40Emily!
01:23:42Emily!
01:23:44Go!
01:23:45Let me go!
01:23:46Emily!
01:23:47Let me go!
01:23:48Let me go!
01:23:50No!
01:24:20No!
01:24:22No!
01:24:24No!
01:24:26No!
01:24:30No!
01:24:32No!
