00:01:30Oh
00:01:47Anybody at home
00:02:00I
00:02:30Don't know
00:03:00I
00:03:30I
00:04:00I
00:04:30I
00:05:00I
00:05:02I
00:05:04I
00:05:26Mr. Fenton, yes, could I speak to you for a moment, please? Is it a business matter? Well, it's rather urgent
00:05:32Oh, all right, come in. Thanks
00:05:38In here
00:05:42Thanks, I
00:05:44Don't think I know you do I know we haven't met officially, but you must have noticed me quite a lot recently
00:05:49Well, where on the mantelpiece?
00:05:52I've been there for some time now. I
00:05:54Was there watching you every time you came to make up to my wife?
00:05:57In fact, I should have thought that anyone with a touch of finer feeling would have turned me to the wall or at least covered
00:06:02me with clay
00:06:03You're Lee Warren
00:06:05That's right
00:06:07Thought that you were in America
00:06:09Vivian had a cable from you yesterday. What will these husbands do next? I suppose Vivian told you that we'd been you mean what?
00:06:17Well that we'd been out together very nicely put I didn't mind the going out at the staying in that I objected to
00:06:23I don't know what you mean. Don't you know I better tell you
00:06:27I've been away for eight months
00:06:29During my absence. My wife has been spending a lot of time with you. I
00:06:32Want to know where I stand you must ask Vivian that I will of course
00:06:38First I want to know what you're offering offering. Yes, you want to marry her?
00:06:42How can I when she's married to you? Well, there is such a thing as divorce. I
00:06:46see
00:06:47You don't like the sound of that very much
00:06:49Well, frankly, no
00:06:50What do you mean to say that if I took a sock at you now and saw my solicitor in the morning?
00:06:53It wouldn't exactly enhance your career, would it?
00:06:57It isn't that so much. It's just that I'm not sure that Vivian would want to marry me. That's honest. Anyway
00:07:02It doesn't get us anywhere. Does it well what you suggest we do about it?
00:07:07I'll tell you
00:07:10Tomorrow early you can go away take a long holiday. I can't do that. Not right away. Why not busy man
00:07:15Not busy enough. Apparently
00:07:17What'd you do for a living? I'm a barrister. No, then you're your own master. You can spin a yarn about your help or something
00:07:23Might be able to fix it somehow. I think you can
00:07:26You can write a letter to Vivian finishing the affair once and for all but I'd like you to do it now, please
00:07:41Wait, we'll compose it together
00:07:44How do you usually address her Vivian dear?
00:07:47Vivian darling I
00:07:49Love you
00:07:51You got that? Yes, I
00:07:54Realize that whatever your feelings are for me now
00:07:59You love your husband and always will
00:08:06Better go up I
00:08:09Cannot bear to be near you
00:08:13And to know that you will never be mine
00:08:16and
00:08:17If what I'm about to do
00:08:20May seem cowardly to you cowardly your trip you're running away without seeing
00:08:30Cowardly to you it is the only way out
00:08:37So tomorrow I'm going away on an extended trip abroad
00:08:44When I return I
00:08:47Hope that you will again be happy with your husband
00:08:50and
00:08:51our friendship
00:08:54That a happy memory of the past
00:08:58Love that again, whatever you usually put love always that's right. Love always
00:09:08How does that strike you
00:09:10Well, I think I see what you're getting at one
00:09:12You want all traces of opposition out of the way so that you two can try to get together again exactly
00:09:18You know, you're very understanding Clinton
00:09:20In other circumstances, I could almost like you. Thank you
00:09:23What about a drink now? I should like one
00:09:28Whiskey please. What's your American trip successful Betty Sarah, please
00:09:38You wouldn't care to settle there I suppose no my roots are here Cheers
00:09:42Cheers
00:09:45Now, of course
00:09:51Hmm I
00:09:53Don't think we could improve on that. I'm so sorry Fenton. That's all right. I'll fix your mother
00:09:58It's not the drink. I'm worried about it's the letter
00:10:00Saturated they'll be able to send that
00:10:03Said you'd have to write another when I look here while I knew can't be serious about this letter. I'm fed. I am
00:10:08Sorry to be such a nuisance
00:10:11All right
00:10:17Pretty girl, who is she my sister? Why I just wondered you're sure it's not somebody else's wife
00:10:23I don't think that's very funny
00:10:26Yeah, that's not
00:10:31Don't tell me of course
00:10:35Hello, oh
00:10:37Hello
00:10:39No, no, I'm all right
00:10:42Yes, yes, of course
00:10:44We're not tonight
00:10:46Matter of fact, I'm just going out
00:10:49Yes
00:10:52Yes, good night
00:10:55Your sister no your wife I
00:10:59Don't think that's very funny either. She wanted bring some friends in for a drink
00:11:03What a shock she'd have had
00:11:06You better finish the letter
00:11:10You
00:11:19Stop that's enough. What's the devil your hands behind your back? Okay. I should told her I blow your gut, sir
00:11:27What the basis you're playing at Warren, this is a joke joke
00:11:31I
00:11:51Suppose you realize you're laying yourself open to a charge of criminal assault. No, and I'm not interested
00:11:56But
00:11:59Now perhaps will be good enough to explain your quite extraordinary behavior certainly that's why I came here
00:12:05Did you and Vivian often talk about me not often
00:12:08No, I don't suppose you would our marriage obviously didn't mean very much to you
00:12:12But it meant a great deal to me
00:12:13You probably wouldn't believe this but I can remember exactly every detail of every minute of every day
00:12:18Since I knew I was going to America and had to leave her. I
00:12:21Can remember exactly how she looked when I told her
00:12:24She was wearing a new black dress
00:12:27Didn't say very much until it started the dinner and the way to be gone
00:12:31Then I said Vivian the phone wants me to go to America
00:12:35America yes, they want me to put over a couple of deals and make arrangements for a New York office. Will you go?
00:12:40Yeah, why not? I say I can't take you with me, but Lee surely a guy
00:12:46Do you want me to go without you? Of course? I don't but if it's your job
00:12:50Oh, I get it. You're not so ridiculously jealous that you're still thinking about Paul
00:12:55Nothing ridiculous about that. I promised I wouldn't see him again
00:13:01It was only a stupid little lapse surely you can forget that now
00:13:05This trip means promotion doesn't it? Didn't I? Then you'd be a fool not to take it
00:13:10How long would you be away?
00:13:12About five or six months. Well, that's not so very long. I'll write to you every day
00:13:17I'll write you every day
00:13:22Get on with your suit
00:13:37I knew everything was all right
00:13:41That stage lasted exactly
00:13:43And there's something here's the mail mr. Warren, okay
00:14:13That's funny
00:14:23Is that all yes, thanks
00:14:44Mr. Stern take a cable, will you?
00:14:48Mrs. Warren
00:14:50Thanks for long letter stop
00:14:53I'm mailing you a bottle of ink and fountain pen. Stop. Please use them stop
00:14:57Looking forward to seeing you fondest love me
00:15:02Right away sir in the end. I couldn't stand it any longer. So I put in a transatlantic telephone call
00:15:08All one weekend. I tramped up and down the office waiting for it to come through
00:15:13And when it did
00:15:19Hello
00:15:21All right, I'll hold on
00:15:25Vivian is that you
00:15:28Vivian what's happened? I haven't helped him to be over a fortnight, but darling I wrote to you yesterday and on Tuesday
00:15:35Well, I must have forgotten to post
00:15:38I know but I've been so terribly busy
00:15:41Yes, you see mother's in town I've had to take her out
00:15:46I know darling, but some days it's so difficult really
00:15:51All right, darling, I'll try yes, I promise I
00:15:57Miss you terribly, too
00:16:02No, no, I'll write you every day from now on yes, I promise hello
00:16:09Hello
00:16:12We were cut off but I didn't care I'd spoken to Vivian and I was happy that showed you the sort of fool I was
00:16:18about
00:16:19For a week or two. I let us arrive regularly and they stopped again
00:16:23This time I didn't
00:16:25Instead I took the whole beautiful bar
00:16:28After a few drinks, I was able to persuade myself that nothing was wrong Vivian still loved me
00:16:35My foolish paradise didn't last long
00:16:39One night I came upon an old tattler someone had left behind and there laughing up at me was Vivian
00:16:44Beside her with his arms around her also laughing at me was mr. Richard Fenton
00:16:59I went back to my office to think out what I should do. I know I sat staring at the picture for hours
00:17:05It seemed to me that both of you were mocking me but I was thousands of miles away help us
00:17:11Then that I began to plan what I should do in every detail
00:17:15And it was then that I made up my mind how to kill you
00:17:20What did you say? I
00:17:23Said I was going to kill you
00:17:26and I warn you
00:17:28If you lift your voice, I'm gonna gag you remember that
00:17:30You won't be able to pay for your life with a handkerchief halfway down your throat
00:17:34Must be mad to think you can get away with this if I'm found injured you'll be the first person they look for if you're
00:17:39found injured
00:17:41Look here bar. I'll make a bargain with you. You set me free now and I'll go away tomorrow and say nothing about all this
00:17:46nonsense
00:17:47Although I could prefer charges, you know
00:17:50Bentley, you're very dense
00:17:51This isn't nonsense. I'm in deadly earnest. I'm just trying to scare me. That's all. Oh, no
00:17:56You were more scared later on and I said to work on you. You're going to die
00:18:00You're not going to like it one little bit wouldn't be such a fool
00:18:03Can't get away with murder. Nobody can now, but I'm going to commit the perfect murder. There's no such thing. Oh, yes, there is
00:18:10The perfect man is the one that nobody ever hears about because nobody thinks it is murder. That's impossible
00:18:15I admit it is a little difficult, but I want a scheme which is good enough to be worth the risk
00:18:19I've had plenty of time to think it out when I was in America
00:18:23And you were with Vivian
00:18:25There's bound to be a hole in it that always is I warn you. I'm a lawyer and I know
00:18:29There'll be a flaw in it somewhere and that flaw will land you on the gallows as sure as you're standing there
00:18:34Ah, but that's where you're going to help me. Don't hope nonsense. Why should I help you for your own sake?
00:18:38I'm going to tell you exactly how I propose to kill you and I promise you
00:18:42If you can find one flaw in my method one thing that will incriminate me. I'll let you go and if I can't
00:18:49I'm sorry
00:18:51They're really going through with it. Yes
00:18:53You're joking aren't you? It's a pity. You're not a little more subtle. You'd appreciate the situation
00:18:58The murderer usually has to act alone. You can trust no one but with my method I have you to help me
00:19:04weighing considering every detail
00:19:08If you can't find a mistake
00:19:09And I have the comfort of knowing that my plan has been approved by an astute lawyer
00:19:13Okay, I won. I don't know whether you want to frighten me or to kill me. Whichever it is. You won't gain your objective
00:19:19Your wife isn't only interested in me. There are plenty of others too
00:19:23You can't kill them all you fool
00:19:28Very clever of you to get me to lose my temper. It's true. I tell you let me look at your cheek
00:19:37Leave me alone nice still
00:19:39Luckily, it's only a surface redneck. Take your dirty hands off me. Leave a telltale bruise on the cheek of yours
00:19:44Look after I've taken all this trouble
00:19:47Oh, that's all right now now you lie still and I'll show you something really interesting
00:19:54Robin, Robin you can't get on with this madness
00:20:03This is your bedroom, isn't it?
00:20:05I
00:20:19Give you a demonstration
00:20:23It's quite simple I
00:20:26Put the end of this tube in there. I
00:20:29Then put the pillow slip over your head
00:20:32I
00:20:33Draw the open end tightly around your neck. Can you hear me?
00:20:37Then I put the free end of the tubing into the gas jet over there and turn on the gas. Ah
00:20:41Get the idea
00:20:42Of course, you'll be able to breathe quite a bit sensible or I won't let you help me
00:20:49I'll do anything. I'll leave the country for good. I'll never come back. I'll give you every penny. I've got in the world
00:20:55Honey, let me live you don't understand Fenton. I
00:20:59Loathe you you desecrated the only precious thing I ever had
00:21:05Now listen, yes, I'll listen I will I'll help you I will I promise you good possibly you've noticed that throughout all this
00:21:12I've been very careful not to hurt you or mark you. That's why you silk scarves to bind you
00:21:16You're going to be a suicide
00:21:18And I put your head in this pillowcase and turn on the gas
00:21:21You're going to struggle and strain every muscle in your body. I'm not gonna kill you in this room owner
00:21:25I just want your unconscious and I strip off the scars while your blood is still circulating
00:21:29I don't want it to coagulate till I get you to the kitchen with your head in the gas up
00:21:33Harlan then I leave the second the unfinished letter by your side. You began writing the second letter then I stopped you. Do you remember? Yes
00:21:41Yes, I remember listen Vivian darling. I love you, but I realize whatever your feelings are for me
00:21:47Now you still love your husband and always will I cannot bear to be near you and know that you can never be mine
00:21:52If what I'm about to do may seem cowardly to you it is the only way out that's when I stopped you any suggestions
00:21:59Let me think I must give you time to think
00:22:03Nobody can make murder perfect. There must be a flaw in it somewhere. There must be go ahead think I
00:22:09Can't you see anything wrong?
00:22:14What do you say that you're doing this evening if they question you oh, that's easy I
00:22:18Arrived in London by air. I reported my office telephone Vivian. She was out. So I dined alone went straight home to bed
00:22:26Anyway, a man can't be forced to put his head in the gas up and Kenny
00:22:29Don't forget you're not bruised. They won't find any drugs in you when they open you up fingerprints
00:22:34gloves
00:22:36Well, I never met you. I've never heard of you. No one knows that I found out about you
00:22:41Somebody must have seen you come in here. I hadn't taken care of that. I shouldn't be here now
00:22:45Marks on my wrist silk scarves any other suggestions
00:22:54Well, goodbye Fenton you're a bit of a failure as a lawyer, I'm glad my life didn't depend on your arguments
00:23:14I
00:23:44I
00:24:14I
00:24:44I
00:25:14I
00:25:45I
00:25:48Think
00:25:50Dick
00:25:52You see there's nobody here
00:25:57Darling relax
00:25:59What I don't see is why you've got a key to his flat if there was really nothing between it's no use my pretending Jimmy
00:26:04You're right. There was something between us, but it's all over now. I
00:26:09Haven't seen him or spoken to him since I met you and you expect me to believe that
00:26:14You must Jimmy because it's true. Do you think I'd come up here tonight if it wasn't you wouldn't have come at all
00:26:19If I hadn't made you of course not. I was gonna try and cover it up. Naturally
00:26:23I didn't want you to know I hadn't found that key in your bag. You wouldn't have told me
00:26:28Would you you blame me?
00:26:30No, I suppose not
00:26:34I'm glad you know the truth now. I don't want there to be any secrets between us. It's far too important to me for that
00:26:41And anyway, it's not a crime to have had an affair and then found out that you've made a mistake
00:26:47You know why I wanted to be certain there was nothing between you and Dickey
00:26:51Because I wanted you to divorce your husband and marry me
00:26:55No, I want to more than ever darling
00:26:59You will marry me as soon as you can get your divorce, won't you? I
00:27:04Don't know what to say. This is all rather sudden
00:27:07Get me a drink Jimmy. I don't want to touch his drinks. Well, I do I need one and so do you
00:27:14Make it strong darling. It isn't every day one gets a proposal
00:27:19Don't laugh about it, please. I'm serious
00:27:22Wanna cable your husband tomorrow and tell him the news you are a quick worker, aren't you?
00:27:26I'll get some ice from the kitchen Jimmy come and sit down here with me. It won't take a second darling
00:27:32I don't want any I
00:27:35You can have both
00:27:38Let's see, can you smell guess darling come here
00:27:45It's this isn't it
00:27:49Careless so-and-so it's only half turn off. I'll open the window stop rushing about
00:27:58Now what's the matter I can't kiss you here not in his flat. Well, let's go somewhere where you can
00:28:05Where would you like to go bottle party? Can't you think of anywhere more private? Yes, I suppose
00:28:13Darling we are going to be married aren't we? Yes, but do I have to write you a letter? Mr. Martin?
00:28:34I
00:29:04You can't kill them all you fool I'm gonna say about that
00:29:34I
00:30:04I
00:30:34I
00:30:43Bought you a little present today
00:30:45You shouldn't have done that. It's only an old signature. I came across in the junk shop, but just you read what's inside
00:30:54Till death us do part Vivian will you wear it?
00:31:01Till death us do
00:31:04Wabe
00:31:15What was that what was what I
00:31:19Thought I had a dog Cass that's an e-reader coming home. She's very discreet
00:31:24It's only Rita coming home. She's very discreet.
00:31:36Oh, excuse me, madam.
00:31:38It's all right, Rita.
00:31:40I thought you said she'd gone to bed.
00:31:42You needn't worry about her. She knows how to hold her tongue.
00:31:45Yes, but darling...
00:31:46Stop worrying and say good night.
00:31:54Good night.
00:32:24Lee!
00:32:48Lee!
00:32:50I thought I heard you come in.
00:32:52Lee, darling. When did you arrive?
00:32:54How long have you been here?
00:32:56I've been in for hours.
00:32:57You poor darling. Why didn't you phone me when you landed?
00:33:00I did. No answer.
00:33:02So I came on home and went to bed.
00:33:04Why didn't you wait up for me?
00:33:06I was dog-tired. We had a rotten crossing.
00:33:08There was no one in anyway.
00:33:10Poor Lee. What a homecoming.
00:33:13And just the one night I'm out.
00:33:15You must tell me all about your trip. Was it successful?
00:33:19Lee, I've been so miserable without you.
00:33:26What time did you turn in?
00:33:28Oh, about ten.
00:33:29Did you have something to eat?
00:33:31I didn't want anything.
00:33:32Let me get you something now.
00:33:34No, thanks.
00:33:35Why didn't you write to me, Vivian?
00:33:37It won't take a moment.
00:33:39Why didn't you?
00:33:41But I did, darling. Dozens and dozens of letters.
00:33:44But you said every day.
00:33:46But darling, that was only a figure of speech.
00:33:49You know I was thinking of you every minute and missing you dreadfully.
00:33:53But I couldn't just go on saying that over and over again, could I?
00:33:56It would have been so boring.
00:33:58And I've never bored you yet, have I, Lee?
00:34:00Not until now.
00:34:02But Lee...
00:34:03You see, I don't believe you, darling.
00:34:10Were you on duty last night?
00:34:11Yes, sir.
00:34:12Did anyone ask for Mr. Fenton during the evening?
00:34:14No, sir.
00:34:15Did you see anyone strange?
00:34:17Anyone other than the usual tenants come in or go out?
00:34:20No, sir. I can't say I did.
00:34:23Mr. Fenton often have visitors?
00:34:25Not many, no.
00:34:27Any ladies?
00:34:28Sometimes, yes.
00:34:30One particular lady?
00:34:32Not so as you'd notice.
00:34:34All right, thank you.
00:34:36That'll be all for you two just now.
00:34:40Won't you want me anymore?
00:34:42Not for the moment, thank you.
00:34:44Oh.
00:34:45Oh, all right.
00:34:46Only I found him, remember?
00:34:49Yes, thank you. We're very grateful.
00:34:56There's a lady here to see you, sir.
00:34:57She's Mr. Fenton's sister.
00:34:58Oh, yes. Ask her to come in, will you?
00:35:00Yes, sir.
00:35:01This way, please.
00:35:03Come in, please, Miss Fenton.
00:35:04Sit down, won't you?
00:35:06What's the matter, Inspector? Why have you sent for me?
00:35:08I've got some bad news for you.
00:35:11Has something happened to my brother?
00:35:13I'm afraid so, Miss.
00:35:15He... He isn't dead?
00:35:17Ah!
00:35:26How did it happen?
00:35:28He was found this morning in there with his head in a gas oven.
00:35:32You mean he committed suicide?
00:35:36I don't believe it.
00:35:38Dick would never do such a thing.
00:35:40He's not that sort of a person at all.
00:35:43A man can't be forced to put his head in a gas oven, Miss Fenton.
00:35:46Dick wasn't like that.
00:35:48You'd better read this.
00:35:57But I don't understand.
00:35:59There's something strange about this.
00:36:01In what way?
00:36:03I realize you still love your husband and always will.
00:36:06But he knew perfectly well Vivian didn't love her husband.
00:36:09Who is this Vivian? Do you know her?
00:36:11Of course. It's Mrs. Warren.
00:36:13And your brother had an affair with her?
00:36:16Yes.
00:36:17And there was trouble with Mr. Warren?
00:36:19No. He's in America.
00:36:22You say your brother knew that Mrs. Warren didn't love her husband?
00:36:25We both knew.
00:36:27How?
00:36:28Because the man I was engaged to gave me up for her a fortnight ago.
00:36:31Are you quite sure about that?
00:36:33Perfectly.
00:36:34And what was the name of your young man?
00:36:36Martin. Jimmy Martin.
00:36:38I see.
00:36:40And you suggest that he took your brother's place with Mrs. Warren?
00:36:43I know he did.
00:36:45And she took your place with him, is that it?
00:36:48Yes.
00:36:50You must excuse my asking so many questions, but it is a bit complicated, isn't it?
00:36:55It's all very sordid and unpleasant.
00:36:58And it's all her fault.
00:37:00Yes, I'm sorry.
00:37:02Now, if you wouldn't mind giving me this Mr. Martin's address?
00:37:05Why? Are you going to see him?
00:37:07Just give me the address, if you don't mind, and I'll decide about that later on.
00:37:10Yes, of course.
00:37:18Weren't you going to the office this morning?
00:37:20No.
00:37:21Why not?
00:37:22Anxious to get rid of me?
00:37:24Not at all.
00:37:26I've turned in my report, and now I'm taking a few days off.
00:37:29To put some private affairs in order.
00:37:31What private affairs?
00:37:33Oh, private affairs.
00:37:36Where are the other papers?
00:37:37They're over there.
00:37:44Good morning.
00:37:46Mr. Martin!
00:37:49Mr. Martin!
00:37:51Hello there.
00:37:58Thank you very much.
00:38:00My favorite flowers.
00:38:02Aren't they sweet?
00:38:04I... I beg your pardon.
00:38:06Not at all. Make yourself at home.
00:38:08By the way, I didn't quite catch your name. Vivian introduces.
00:38:11Jimmy Martin. My husband.
00:38:13How do you do, Mr. Martin?
00:38:15How are you?
00:38:16Have you known my wife long, Mr. Martin?
00:38:18Of course he hasn't.
00:38:19Only during my absence, I take it.
00:38:21I think I'd better go.
00:38:22No, no, no. I think I'm entitled to some sort of explanation.
00:38:25Isn't every husband who comes home to find a handsome young man calling on his wife with flowers?
00:38:28And at breakfast time, too. Do sit down, Mr. Martin.
00:38:30By the way, have you had your breakfast?
00:38:32Yes, thank you.
00:38:33You'd better go, Jimmy.
00:38:34Yes, of course.
00:38:35And I think he'd better stay.
00:38:36Lee, don't be ridiculous.
00:38:37Do sit down, Mr. Martin. Have a cigarette, will you?
00:38:39I don't know what you can hope to gain by this behavior, Lee.
00:38:42Mr. Martin, tell me.
00:38:44Is it a habit of yours to call on my wife so early in the morning?
00:38:47Certainly not.
00:38:48This morning, you just thought that you would. Is that it?
00:38:51You may as well know it.
00:38:53I'm in love with Vivian.
00:38:55Well, at least you're honest.
00:38:57He's a likable lad.
00:38:58Have you quite finished, Lee?
00:39:00Nearly.
00:39:03Tell me, Mr. Martin.
00:39:04Does my wife return your love you happen to know?
00:39:06Yes, I think so.
00:39:09Is that true, Vivian?
00:39:11I refuse to take part in this ridiculous charade.
00:39:13But you're terribly curious, aren't you?
00:39:15You're not missing a word.
00:39:18Please go, Jimmy.
00:39:19I can't stand any more of this.
00:39:28You must forgive my wife.
00:39:29She's not usually so inhospitable.
00:39:30Then, of course, you know that, don't you?
00:39:44That's a fine place to park a car now, isn't it?
00:39:47Keep your mind on the job, Fox.
00:39:48We've got more important things to do.
00:39:50You wait here. I shan't be long.
00:40:01Good morning.
00:40:02I'd like to see Mrs. Warren, please.
00:40:04What name shall I say?
00:40:05Inspector Pembrey.
00:40:07Will you come inside?
00:40:08Thank you.
00:40:16Excuse me, sir.
00:40:17There's a policeman called Inspector Pembrey.
00:40:20Oh, I see.
00:40:21I'm sorry, sir.
00:40:22I don't know him.
00:40:23I don't know him either.
00:40:24I'm sorry, sir.
00:40:25I don't know him either.
00:40:26I'm sorry, sir.
00:40:27I don't know him either.
00:40:28There's a policeman called Inspector Pembrey.
00:40:30Who does he want to see?
00:40:31Mrs. Warren.
00:40:32Has he brought any flowers?
00:40:34No, sir.
00:40:35Then show him in.
00:40:39Will you come this way, sir?
00:40:40Thank you.
00:40:45Good morning, sir.
00:40:46Good morning.
00:40:47I'm Inspector Pembrey.
00:40:48Mr. Warren?
00:40:49Yes, can I help at all?
00:40:50My wife's dressing.
00:40:51It's about a friend of your wife, sir, Mr. Richard Fenton.
00:40:53Do you happen to know him?
00:40:54Fenton?
00:40:55I don't think I do.
00:40:56What about him?
00:40:57He was found dead this morning.
00:40:58Oh?
00:40:59What's that got to do with my wife?
00:41:01We found this letter near the body.
00:41:02It's addressed to Vivian.
00:41:03I think that's your wife's name, sir.
00:41:05Yes, it is.
00:41:06May I read it?
00:41:07If you wish.
00:41:08Thanks.
00:41:12I'm sorry to have to inflict this on you, sir.
00:41:14Did you know about your wife and this Mr. Fenton?
00:41:16No, I've been away for eight months.
00:41:18I only got back from America yesterday.
00:41:20Oh, really, sir?
00:41:21Then I expect this must come as a bit of a shock to you.
00:41:23Well, yes and no.
00:41:26Yes and no?
00:41:27Well, there's no point in beating about the bush.
00:41:30I came back from America earlier than I expected
00:41:32because I was worried about my wife.
00:41:34She hadn't written for several weeks
00:41:36and I'd heard that, well, she was going about with other men.
00:41:40Now it looks as if I misjudged her.
00:41:42You mean this letter makes it quite clear?
00:41:44Yes.
00:41:45Did you say anything to your wife about Mr. Fenton last night, sir?
00:41:48How could I? I didn't even know he existed.
00:41:50Oh, of course not, sir. Silly of me.
00:41:52But you did talk to her, I expect.
00:41:54Not very much. She didn't come in until quite late.
00:41:56Didn't she come to meet you then?
00:41:58No.
00:41:59But she must have known you were coming home.
00:42:01As a matter of fact, no.
00:42:02I thought it was more of a surprise if she didn't.
00:42:05I see.
00:42:06Do you mind telling me what time you arrived back, sir?
00:42:09We landed about five. I came by air.
00:42:11Oh, yes, and after you landed?
00:42:13Look here, what have my movements got to do with all this?
00:42:15You may as well know, sir.
00:42:17There was another man in Mr. Fenton's flat last night.
00:42:20We found his fingerprints.
00:42:21For a moment I thought it might have been you.
00:42:23If I'd known of his existence, it better easily might have been.
00:42:25You mean you might have taken the law into your own hands?
00:42:27Yes.
00:42:28It's a good thing you didn't, sir.
00:42:34Oh, darling.
00:42:35This is Inspector Penbury.
00:42:37How do you do, Inspector?
00:42:38He wants a word with you.
00:42:40May I ask if you knew a Mr. Richard Fenton?
00:42:43I did, yes.
00:42:45Why do you say did, madam?
00:42:47Well, I haven't seen him for some time.
00:42:50Have a cigarette?
00:42:51No, thank you.
00:42:52What's all this about?
00:42:53Mr. Fenton was found dead in his flat this morning.
00:42:58Darling, may I get you a drink or something?
00:43:00No, I'm all right, thank you.
00:43:03Do you mind if I ask you one or two more questions, madam?
00:43:06Of course not.
00:43:07Thank you.
00:43:08Were you friendly with the deceased?
00:43:09Did you know him well?
00:43:11We went out two or three times together, if that's what you mean.
00:43:14Did your husband know him, or of him?
00:43:16No.
00:43:17He was someone I met just recently.
00:43:20When did you see him last?
00:43:21I, uh...
00:43:22I haven't seen him for, well, uh...
00:43:24since dinner with the Sandersons about two weeks ago.
00:43:28Did he ever say anything that made you feel he might take his own life?
00:43:32No.
00:43:33That's why it's so terribly unexpected.
00:43:37I hope you'll excuse me, Mrs. Warren, but I have to be more explicit.
00:43:40Did the deceased...
00:43:41Please don't use that word.
00:43:43Did Mr. Fenton ever...
00:43:44Well, do you know if he was fond of you?
00:43:47I suppose he must have been in a way.
00:43:49Otherwise, he wouldn't have wanted to take me out.
00:43:52I don't mean that exactly.
00:43:55Did he ever tell you he loved you?
00:44:00I'm sorry, Lee.
00:44:01But if I don't tell you now,
00:44:03I expect our friend will ferret it out somehow.
00:44:06I couldn't help it.
00:44:08I never encouraged it, but he did.
00:44:10He told me he loved me.
00:44:11He even suggested I should divorce you.
00:44:14Of course, at first, his flattery turned my head.
00:44:16That's why I didn't write you.
00:44:18But then I realized how stupid I'd been
00:44:20and how very much I loved you.
00:44:22And I said I wouldn't see him again.
00:44:24But I still couldn't write you,
00:44:25because I didn't know how to explain
00:44:26why I hadn't done so for so long.
00:44:28You do understand, don't you, darling?
00:44:30More than ever now, my precious.
00:44:32I was going to try and tell you this morning, but you wouldn't...
00:44:34I'm glad you have, because Fenton left a letter.
00:44:37A letter?
00:44:39And what you said just now
00:44:40explains perfectly what he wrote.
00:44:43Doesn't it, Inspector?
00:44:44It does indeed.
00:44:46What did he say?
00:44:47Just one more question first.
00:44:49What did you do last night, madam?
00:44:51I, uh...
00:44:52I went to a theater with Mr. Martin.
00:44:54He brought me home about a quarter to twelve.
00:44:56Did he come in for a while?
00:44:57Of course not.
00:44:58He saw me to the door, said goodnight, and left.
00:45:01Thank you, madam.
00:45:02Here's the letter.
00:45:14He killed himself...
00:45:15for me.
00:45:20How terrible.
00:45:22Terrible.
00:45:23Don't take it like that.
00:45:25He killed himself because you were faithful to me, didn't he?
00:45:27Yes, father.
00:45:28Well, no one can blame you for that.
00:45:31You won't want to ask her any more questions now, will you, Inspector?
00:45:33No.
00:45:34I'd better be going.
00:45:36Inspector.
00:45:38If there's anything else,
00:45:39please don't hesitate to ask me.
00:45:42However badly I may feel about this,
00:45:44it's not myself I'm worried about.
00:45:45It's my husband.
00:45:47Your husband, madam?
00:45:48I don't quite understand.
00:45:49Well, you know how people talk.
00:45:51And that letter, it looks so awful.
00:45:53Must it be published?
00:45:54Well, that's for the coroner to say, madam.
00:45:56I'll do what I can.
00:45:58Thank you, Inspector.
00:46:01Thank you, madam.
00:46:02You've made things much easier for me.
00:46:03Good day, Inspector.
00:46:04Good day.
00:46:05Good day.
00:46:14Lee, darling.
00:46:17Yes?
00:46:20Nothing.
00:46:28Hello?
00:46:30Oh, hello.
00:46:32I can only talk to you for a second.
00:46:33Lee's in the other room.
00:46:35Jimmy, listen.
00:46:37Dick Fenton's committed suicide.
00:46:39Who told you?
00:46:42Oh, is she there?
00:46:44Well, be careful what you say.
00:46:46Jimmy, listen.
00:46:48The police have been here asking all sorts of questions.
00:46:51They wanted to know where I was last night,
00:46:52and I had to tell them.
00:46:54If they ask you, say that you saw me home.
00:46:56And whatever happens,
00:46:57don't let out that I was in Dick Fenton's flat last night.
00:47:00No, don't worry, I wouldn't.
00:47:03No, of course not.
00:47:06All right, I'll watch my step.
00:47:08Bless you, darling.
00:47:10And be careful.
00:47:12Bye.
00:47:20That was her, wasn't it?
00:47:22Yes.
00:47:23Does she know?
00:47:24Mm-mm.
00:47:26I can just hear her gloating.
00:47:28Dickie killed himself for me, you know.
00:47:30Isn't it too touching?
00:47:31Oh, she's not like that.
00:47:32Isn't she?
00:47:33First she lets her husband down.
00:47:35Then she lets Dickie down.
00:47:37Someday she'll do the same to you.
00:47:39No, I don't believe she will.
00:47:41Anyway, I'll take a chance on it.
00:47:44Do you really love her?
00:47:46Yes.
00:47:48Is she coming here?
00:47:50No, it's all right, now calm down.
00:47:52I'll go and see who it is.
00:47:58Good morning.
00:47:59Mr. Martin?
00:48:00Yes.
00:48:01I'm Detective Inspector Pembrey.
00:48:02Could I see you for a moment?
00:48:04Yes, of course, come in.
00:48:06Thank you.
00:48:08Through there.
00:48:12I believe you know Miss Fenton?
00:48:14Yes, we met this morning.
00:48:16I'd like to speak to you alone, Mr. Martin.
00:48:18Perhaps I'd better come back later on.
00:48:20That's all right, Inspector, I was just going.
00:48:22I'll see you to the door.
00:48:33Well, Inspector?
00:48:35I suppose you've heard of Richard Fenton's death?
00:48:37Yes, his sister was telling me about it.
00:48:39No, thank you.
00:48:41Just a few personal questions, Mr. Martin, do you mind?
00:48:43Not at all.
00:48:45How long had you known the deceased?
00:48:47Since we were at school.
00:48:49You're engaged to his sister, I believe.
00:48:51I was.
00:48:53We broke it off some time ago.
00:48:55Oh, I'm sorry.
00:48:57So far as you know,
00:48:59had Mr. Fenton any business or financial worries?
00:49:00He was a successful baddister.
00:49:02They don't have that sort of worry.
00:49:04Sit down, won't you, Inspector?
00:49:06Thank you.
00:49:08Any suggestion as to why he should take his own life?
00:49:10None at all.
00:49:12You think there might have been an unfortunate love affair?
00:49:14Not that I know of.
00:49:16Drink, Inspector?
00:49:18No, thank you.
00:49:20You can't think of anything in that line?
00:49:22No.
00:49:23When did you last see the deceased?
00:49:25At a party about ten days ago.
00:49:27I see.
00:49:28Alone?
00:49:30No, with a Mrs. Warren, a friend of mine.
00:49:32Dropped her off at her flat and came on home.
00:49:34Could someone confirm the time you arrived back?
00:49:36I can't help you there.
00:49:38I have no maid and I saw no one.
00:49:40Well, thank you, Mr. Martin.
00:49:42Hope I haven't caused you any inconvenience.
00:49:44No, not at all.
00:49:46Before you go, Inspector, may I ask you a question?
00:49:48By all means.
00:49:50Was it really suicide?
00:49:52I haven't the froggiest idea.
00:49:54Good day, Mr. Martin.
00:49:59Hello, what do you want?
00:50:01I've got something I'd like to show you here.
00:50:03I've got something to show you.
00:50:05Look at this.
00:50:07Where was it found?
00:50:09In the waste paper basket in Fenton's flat.
00:50:11Robert's turned it in just after we left.
00:50:13It's the same as the other.
00:50:15The one by the body?
00:50:17The same, only different.
00:50:19Look at that.
00:50:21What do you think it means?
00:50:23He changed his mind?
00:50:25Or someone changed it for him?
00:50:26Murder.
00:50:28I shouldn't wonder.
00:50:32What have you got?
00:50:34This.
00:50:36Where did you get it?
00:50:38Out of Martin's car.
00:50:40What is it?
00:50:42Thought you might know.
00:50:44Something he cleans the car with, I suppose.
00:50:46That's what I thought at first.
00:50:48But it's too clean for that.
00:50:50Stuck out a mile among the other stuff in the boot.
00:50:52And what's this for, anyway?
00:50:54Fox, smell that.
00:50:56Smells like the back of a cab.
00:50:58Anything else?
00:51:00Gas.
00:51:02Gas is right.
00:51:04Give it to me.
00:51:06What is it, do you think?
00:51:08I don't know.
00:51:13Gas.
00:51:24It's you, come on in.
00:51:26Just a couple more questions, Mr. Martin.
00:51:30Reinforcements?
00:51:32Yes, this is Sergeant Fox, my assistant.
00:51:34Going away?
00:51:36Just for the weekend.
00:51:38Mr. Martin, are you quite sure your answers to my questions this morning were correct?
00:51:41Of course.
00:51:43Then before I ask you this final question, I must warn you that anything you say now may be taken down and given in evidence.
00:51:48What is all this?
00:51:50Just a formality.
00:51:51Are you quite certain you didn't visit Mr. Fenton's flat last night?
00:51:54Quite certain.
00:51:56Then how do you account for your fingerprints being found there?
00:51:58Fingerprints?
00:52:00Well, they must have been left from the last time I was there.
00:52:02When was that?
00:52:04About two or three weeks ago.
00:52:06Do you think Mr. Fenton would have left a whiskey glass on his table for three weeks?
00:52:08No, of course not.
00:52:10Then perhaps you wouldn't mind telling me what really happened.
00:52:12Very well.
00:52:14I went there for a drink.
00:52:16When was this?
00:52:18Well, I dropped Mrs. Warren off at her flat at about 11.30.
00:52:19He wasn't in, so I had a drink and left.
00:52:21If he was out, how did you get in?
00:52:23I had a key. You must have found it. I left it on the table by mistake.
00:52:27So you arrived just before midnight?
00:52:29About that.
00:52:31The doctor puts the time of Fenton's death a few minutes either side of midnight.
00:52:34So you see, Mr. Martin, it looked as if Fenton was in his flat when you called.
00:52:38But I swear to you he wasn't.
00:52:40Wait a minute. I didn't look in the kitchen.
00:52:42You mean he might have been lying in there and you wouldn't have known anything about it?
00:52:45It's possible.
00:52:47You didn't go to the kitchen for water or soda or anything?
00:52:49No.
00:52:51How do you explain your fingerprints being found on the kitchen doorknob?
00:52:53What? Oh, yes, well, I started to go to the kitchen, but I couldn't find the light switch and...
00:52:56I just didn't bother.
00:52:58I'm sorry, Mr. Martin, but I don't believe a word you're saying.
00:53:01I can't help that. I've told you the truth.
00:53:03We found the oven gas jet still on this morning.
00:53:05If the deceased had been lying in the kitchen when you were there, you must have smelt the gas.
00:53:08But I did. I remember now. And I said...
00:53:10I mean, I thought it was a leak.
00:53:12What's all this about, anyway? It was suicide, wasn't it?
00:53:15You asked me that before, this morning. Remember?
00:53:16Yes, but Miss Fenton was telling me that he left a letter.
00:53:19Well, what makes you think that letter showed he intended killing himself?
00:53:22If you let me read it, I'll tell you.
00:53:24Well, here's a copy.
00:53:29That's pretty obvious, I'd say.
00:53:31Explains everything.
00:53:33Not quite everything, Mr. Martin.
00:53:35The deceased found it difficult to write a letter giving up the woman he loved.
00:53:38Anyone under those circumstances might have written a dozen letters.
00:53:41We know for a fact that he wrote two.
00:53:43You've just read one.
00:53:44Now I'll show you the other.
00:53:47You mean the letter found by the body was to have ended the same way as that one?
00:53:51Precisely.
00:53:53He couldn't write a letter like that at the first attempt.
00:53:55Who could?
00:53:57So he threw it away.
00:53:59The murderer interrupted him while he was writing another.
00:54:01Killed him.
00:54:03Then finding the half-completed letter on the desk,
00:54:05realized that there was the final link to make it look like suicide.
00:54:07He didn't know about the full letter in the waste paper basket.
00:54:10Waiting to put the noose around his neck.
00:54:12But I didn't do it.
00:54:14Well, I can prove it.
00:54:16How?
00:54:18He was found with his head in the oven, wasn't he?
00:54:20How could I make him do that?
00:54:22Well, it's ridiculous.
00:54:24Come on, Dicko, chap, stick your head in the oven.
00:54:26I'm going to turn the tap on.
00:54:28Well, come on to that now, if you like.
00:54:30You see, Martin, you were very clever and you know it,
00:54:32but one or two things are going to trip you up,
00:54:34like the letter and this.
00:54:36What is it?
00:54:38I was going to ask you.
00:54:40Well, I've never seen that thing before.
00:54:42When we searched your car, we found this in the boot.
00:54:44In the whole of my experience,
00:54:46I've never seen a cooler, more carefully planned
00:54:48and premeditated murder.
00:54:50I've already cautioned you and I shall now arrest you
00:54:52for the willful murder of Richard Fenton.
00:54:54You're making a great mistake, Inspector.
00:54:56Take him away, Fox. I'll be over in a few minutes.
00:55:12That young man of yours seems to be hitting the headlines.
00:55:14Who?
00:55:16See for yourself.
00:55:21Jimmy didn't kill him. He couldn't have.
00:55:23Of course not.
00:55:25Because you were with him all the time, weren't you?
00:55:27I don't know what you mean.
00:55:29Don't you?
00:55:31Good morning, Rita.
00:55:33Good morning, sir.
00:55:35Thank you.
00:55:41You know Jimmy didn't kill Fenton
00:55:42and he never left your side all the evening.
00:55:44How do you know that?
00:55:46Because I happened to be there.
00:55:48Where?
00:55:50In Fenton's flat.
00:55:52But you couldn't have been.
00:55:54Unless you...
00:55:56Go on. Unless I killed him.
00:55:58No. No, you couldn't have.
00:56:00Why not?
00:56:09How could you have done it
00:56:10I found out. The rest was easy.
00:56:12In fact, I only made one mistake.
00:56:14What was that?
00:56:16I thought Fenton was the only man in your life.
00:56:18He tried to tell me there were others, but I didn't believe him.
00:56:20Until you came in with Jimmy, then it was too late.
00:56:22Do you know what Fenton said?
00:56:24He said, you can't kill them all, you fool.
00:56:26Well, he was probably right.
00:56:28But Fenton and Jimmy in one day is a pretty good start, isn't it?
00:56:31Now what is it?
00:56:33The post has just come. We'll put them over there.
00:56:35No. Give them to me, will you please?
00:56:37Thank you.
00:56:41You don't expect me to believe any of this, do you?
00:56:43I don't see why not. It's all quite true.
00:56:45I worked out a foolproof plan for killing Fenton.
00:56:47When Jimmy turned up, I re-planned things a little.
00:56:49Putting the pillow slip at the back of his car, for instance,
00:56:51instead of destroying it.
00:56:53If we don't pay the telephone bill in seven days,
00:56:55we're going to be cut off.
00:56:57You mean to tell me you were in Fenton's flat that night,
00:56:59that he was dying there,
00:57:01while we were talking in the next room?
00:57:03Exactly.
00:57:05I don't believe it.
00:57:07Oh, you don't?
00:57:08Remember?
00:57:10I see.
00:57:12Your mother wants to come and stay with us.
00:57:14Why she's at all so right to me, I don't know.
00:57:16Perhaps she thinks I'm kinder hearted than her daughter.
00:57:18After you and Jimmy had left, I fiddled round Fenton's flat.
00:57:21And the more I fiddled,
00:57:23the blacker things began to look for James.
00:57:25You wouldn't really let an innocent man
00:57:27suffer for something you did.
00:57:29I suffered because of something he did.
00:57:31That's different.
00:57:33Not to me. I made up my mind to get my own back,
00:57:35and I'm getting it.
00:57:36You love him very much, don't you?
00:57:38Yes, I do.
00:57:40And you'd do anything to save him, wouldn't you?
00:57:42Yes.
00:57:44Well, now you're going to be in the interesting position
00:57:46of knowing that he's innocent and that I'm guilty
00:57:48and that you can't do anything about it.
00:57:50You're going to suffer slowly and exquisitely,
00:57:52and I'm going to enjoy watching you squirm.
00:58:06Come on.
00:58:36Rita?
00:59:06Rita, are you in bed?
00:59:08When did Mrs. Warren go?
00:59:10This afternoon, sir, about three.
00:59:12Where did she go? Do you know?
00:59:14No, sir. She just called a taxi and went.
00:59:16Did you hear what address she gave the driver?
00:59:18No, sir. She left a note for you, sir.
00:59:20Yes, I know.
00:59:22Could there be anything else, sir?
00:59:24No, you'd better go back to bed.
00:59:26I want to speak to Mrs. Warren, please.
00:59:28Warren. W-A-R-R-E-N.
00:59:32She says she's not staying at the hotel.
00:59:34Thanks.
00:59:37Denver Dorchester.
00:59:39Could you tell me if Mrs. Warren is registered with you, please?
00:59:43Yes.
00:59:46She's not there.
00:59:48Thank you.
00:59:50Is that Manor Head 365?
00:59:52Rivers Hotel?
00:59:54Could I speak to Mrs. Warren, please?
00:59:57She isn't.
00:59:59You sure?
01:00:01Thanks.
01:00:07Mr. Martin, sir.
01:00:09Thank you, Fox.
01:00:11You and Gray wait outside, will you?
01:00:13Yes, sir.
01:00:15Sit down, Mr. Martin, please.
01:00:17You know Miss Fenton?
01:00:19Hello.
01:00:21Mr. Martin, I want to ask you some questions in a moment,
01:00:23but there's something I must check up on first.
01:00:25Won't mind waiting, will you?
01:00:27Haven't got much option, have I?
01:00:29No, you haven't really, have you?
01:00:31Excuse me.
01:00:36I suppose you arranged this?
01:00:38No.
01:00:40Well, yes, partly.
01:00:42What good did you think you could do coming here?
01:00:44I don't know.
01:00:46I just thought I would find out if there was anything I could do to help.
01:00:48Well, there isn't.
01:00:51I know you didn't do it.
01:00:53So do I, but it happens that the police
01:00:55can prove their own satisfaction, and I did.
01:00:57Jimmy, do you love her very much?
01:01:00No, I don't think I love her at all.
01:01:02Then why shield her?
01:01:04Because if they could hang me on the evidence they got,
01:01:06they'd do it just as easily as an accessory.
01:01:08The significant thing is that pillow slip being in my car.
01:01:11Now, someone must have put it there deliberately.
01:01:13Whoever it was had a grudge against two people,
01:01:15Dickie and me, and hated us both enough to want to kill us.
01:01:18Oh, Jimmy.
01:01:24Oh, excuse me.
01:01:26Look, I'm sorry, but something very important
01:01:28has come up on another case.
01:01:30Would you mind very much if we postponed our talk to another day?
01:01:32No, Inspector, of course not.
01:01:34Thank you very much.
01:01:36Come down the stairs, will you?
01:01:40I want you, Sergeant.
01:01:43Anything wrong, sir?
01:01:45No, that's what's worrying me.
01:01:47It's all too neat and tidy.
01:01:49It all adds up perfectly.
01:01:51Too perfectly.
01:01:53Don't you think that's just because we were lucky enough
01:01:55to come across the evidence quickly, sir?
01:01:57Maybe.
01:01:59I was wondering whether we were meant to come across it.
01:02:01You mean you believe the boy when he says
01:02:03someone else put the pillowcase in his car?
01:02:04All I do know is that whoever planned this murder
01:02:06was a clever man.
01:02:08Cool, calculating, ruthless.
01:02:10And clever.
01:02:12Does that sound like Jimmy Martin to you?
01:02:14Ah, you can never tell with those quiet ones.
01:02:16He may have committed half a dozen other murders
01:02:18for all we know.
01:02:20That's right.
01:02:22Perhaps his Hitler in disguise is about the right height.
01:02:34Enjoying the view, Mr. Williams?
01:02:36Oh, yes, sir.
01:02:38Thank you very much.
01:02:40You're welcome, sir.
01:02:42Well, I'm off.
01:02:44Good-bye.
01:02:46Good-bye.
01:02:48Good-bye.
01:02:50Good-bye.
01:02:52Good-bye.
01:02:54Good-bye.
01:02:56Good-bye.
01:02:58Good-bye.
01:03:00Good-bye.
01:03:02Good-bye.
01:03:04Mr. Warren?
01:03:06Oh, good evening, Inspector.
01:03:08No, I was just taking a walk.
01:03:10It's a long way from home, isn't it?
01:03:12As a matter of fact, I'm not sleeping very well.
01:03:14So I was taking to going for a long walk
01:03:16before I go to bed.
01:03:18Do you usually come and look at Fenton's windows?
01:03:20Oh, why?
01:03:22Oh, I see what you mean.
01:03:24The criminal returning to the scene of the crime and all that.
01:03:26I didn't say so.
01:03:28No, I should hope you wouldn't.
01:03:30Pity about young Martin losing his head like that.
01:03:32Yes, isn't it?
01:03:34You'll remember me to your wife, won't you, sir?
01:03:36If you don't mind, I don't think I will.
01:03:38She doesn't like being reminded of unpleasant things.
01:03:40Good night.
01:03:46Did you take the tablets I gave you?
01:03:48Yeah.
01:03:49Two the first night, three the second, and four the third.
01:03:51No effect?
01:03:52None at all.
01:03:53I've slept a wink for over a week.
01:03:55It's getting me down, I don't mind telling you.
01:03:58Have you suffered from insomnia before?
01:04:00No.
01:04:01Appetite all right?
01:04:02So-so, nothing to speak of.
01:04:03Any unusual business worries, anything of that sort?
01:04:05No.
01:04:06Nothing you can think of to account for it?
01:04:09No.
01:04:10Well, I'll give you another prescription, see what that does.
01:04:12But go easy on it.
01:04:14Only take them if it's absolutely necessary, and then not more than two.
01:04:21Let me know how you get on.
01:04:23Thanks, doctor.
01:04:34Hello.
01:04:38When did you come back?
01:04:40About half an hour ago.
01:04:43You might look as though you're pleased to see me.
01:04:46You suppose I am?
01:04:47I thought you might be by now.
01:04:51Give me a light.
01:04:55Why did you go off like that?
01:04:57I told you in my note.
01:04:59Your hand's a little short.
01:05:02Your hand's a little shaky, isn't it?
01:05:05Yes, I haven't been sleeping very well.
01:05:08You know, you do look a little the worse for wear.
01:05:11You don't seem very worried yourself.
01:05:12I'm not.
01:05:14You're tougher than I thought you were.
01:05:16Not tough.
01:05:17Just logical and sensible.
01:05:20You see, Lee, I've thought the whole business out, quietly and reasonably.
01:05:24And I've discovered two very important things.
01:05:27What are they?
01:05:28First, that I love you, and second, that you love me.
01:05:32What makes you think that?
01:05:34Why else should you be so jealous of every man who so much as looks at me?
01:05:39Why else should you kill Dick and Jimmy?
01:05:43To make you suffer something of what I've suffered.
01:05:45But darling, that's silly, surely.
01:05:48I never loved them the way I love you.
01:05:51Is that true?
01:05:52Of course it's true.
01:05:54Why did you think I came back?
01:05:55Why did you?
01:05:56Because I was worried about you.
01:05:58Why?
01:05:59In case you might do something silly.
01:06:02Why should I do that?
01:06:04Because the responsibility for that boy's death is getting too much for you, isn't it?
01:06:10Yes, it is. I don't know what to do about it.
01:06:12I can't think straight.
01:06:14It's all my fault.
01:06:15I should have made you see that nobody means anything to me except you.
01:06:19But what about Fenton and Martin?
01:06:21They never meant that much.
01:06:23But why did you...
01:06:24Only because you weren't there and I was so bored without you.
01:06:28Vivienne.
01:06:30Is that true?
01:06:32Absolutely.
01:06:42Yes.
01:06:43Yes, I am.
01:06:44But you're not completely happy, are you?
01:06:47No.
01:06:48You're still worrying about Jimmy Martin.
01:06:51I can't let him hang now.
01:06:53I can't let him hang now.
01:06:55He's not going to.
01:06:56I'm going to prevent that.
01:06:57No.
01:06:58Yes.
01:06:59Yes, I must say that I was there.
01:07:01That dragoon is an accomplice.
01:07:03No, there must be some other way, some loophole, if only I can think of it.
01:07:06Yes, Lee, that's right.
01:07:08There must be something you've forgotten.
01:07:09No crime is ever perfect.
01:07:11This one is.
01:07:12Too perfect.
01:07:13I saw to that.
01:07:15I didn't know I was going to want to undo it all again.
01:07:17But there must be something you've forgotten.
01:07:19There must be.
01:07:21Lee, try to think.
01:07:22Please, try to think.
01:07:27Oh, Fox.
01:07:28Sir.
01:07:29Mr. Warren's been telling me the real story behind Fenton's death.
01:07:32See what you think of it.
01:07:33Do you mind, Mr. Warren?
01:07:35Well, I've already told you.
01:07:36Would you mind telling us again, for Sergeant Fox?
01:07:38He's been working on the case with me.
01:07:40I'd like him to hear it from the beginning.
01:07:42I very well.
01:07:44As far as I can remember, it was like this.
01:07:46On the day that I arrived back from America, I reported at my office, then rang up my wife.
01:07:51She wasn't in.
01:07:53So I put in my reports, peered up and rang on her.
01:07:56I got to the flat about 7 o'clock.
01:07:59As my taxi drew up outside, I saw my wife getting into Martin's car.
01:08:06I was naturally curious to know what was going on.
01:08:08Wouldn't you have been?
01:08:10So I waited until they were safely in the car.
01:08:12Then I told my driver to follow them.
01:08:18They went to a restaurant, then to the theater.
01:08:21When they came out after the show, I was there waiting for them.
01:08:24I followed them again, this time to a flat at Temple Court.
01:08:30Of course, I thought then that Martin was the reason why my wife hadn't written to me.
01:08:33Naturally, I thought that that was his.
01:08:35So I waited outside for about 10 minutes.
01:08:36Wouldn't a normally jealous husband have broken in on them right away?
01:08:39I wanted to be certain.
01:08:41See you there.
01:08:43So while I was wondering what I could do, they came out again.
01:08:47I just had time to dodge around the corner, out of sight.
01:08:49They were laughing and talking, and I tried to catch what they were saying.
01:08:52But all I picked up was the man's name, Jimmy.
01:08:55Oh, Jimmy.
01:08:56And I didn't much like the way she said it, I can tell you.
01:09:03After they'd gone, I tried the door.
01:09:05Which was conveniently open.
01:09:07As a matter of fact, it was. The catch hadn't dropped.
01:09:09They often don't, unless you slam the door.
01:09:11It happens in my flat, and I'm sure it happens in yours.
01:09:13So you went in.
01:09:15I thought I'd wait and knock hell out of this Jimmy when he came back.
01:09:20I looked carefully around the apartment, taking everything in.
01:09:25Then I went into the kitchen.
01:09:27You know what I found there?
01:09:29A man dead with his head in the gas oven.
01:09:31I turned off the gas and picked up the letter.
01:09:33It was addressed to Vivian.
01:09:35When I read it, I realised the flat didn't belong to Jimmy.
01:09:37It belonged to the other poor devil, whoever he was.
01:09:40Then a thought struck me.
01:09:42I could turn this suicide into a murder, done by Jimmy.
01:09:46That meant I had to get rid of every scrap of evidence that my wife had ever been in the flat.
01:09:49It wasn't easy.
01:09:51I had to think fast.
01:09:54I put her cigarette stubs in her pocket.
01:09:58Then I noticed the waste paper basket.
01:10:00It was full of unfinished letters.
01:10:04I took a look at some of them.
01:10:05They were all in the same strain.
01:10:07He'd obviously made half a dozen shots at writing that farewell letter,
01:10:09before he got it the way he wanted it.
01:10:12One of them gave me another idea.
01:10:13The best idea of all.
01:10:14I left the finished letter in the waste paper basket,
01:10:16put all the rest in my pocket.
01:10:18All except one.
01:10:19An unfinished one.
01:10:22The one you found beside the body, Inspector.
01:10:25Then I washed the glass Vivian had used,
01:10:27so as to remove her fingerprints.
01:10:29How did you know which one was hers?
01:10:31By instinct?
01:10:32No.
01:10:33By lipstick.
01:10:35Go on.
01:10:36In the same way, I got rid of the cigarette she'd been smoking.
01:10:39Leaving traces as only Martin had been there.
01:10:41Traces that you were bound to discover, Inspector.
01:10:43And what did you hope to achieve then, by all this?
01:10:45Exactly what did happen.
01:10:47I knew that when I turned up,
01:10:48my wife would have to deny being in Fenton's flat with Martin.
01:10:52And when the body was discovered, she'd have to stick to her story.
01:10:54And when you, Inspector, found Fenton's first letter,
01:10:57and Martin's fingerprints all over the place,
01:10:59after he'd denied having been there,
01:11:01well, you were bound to wonder what had really happened, weren't you?
01:11:03Undoubtedly.
01:11:04Of course, I was mad with jealousy then,
01:11:05trying all I could to hurt Martin.
01:11:07But I didn't know what to do.
01:11:10I regret it very much now.
01:11:12What did you do with all the letters you stuffed into your pockets?
01:11:15I took them away and destroyed them, of course.
01:11:17Then I had to find a way to connect Martin directly with the fake murder.
01:11:22That wasn't easy.
01:11:23If Fenton had shot himself, it would have been a gun.
01:11:25But gas?
01:11:27Then I had a really brilliant idea.
01:11:29You know, the gas mask thing.
01:11:30I set to work and made it.
01:11:32How it could possibly be used on a strong, healthy man,
01:11:34even I can't imagine.
01:11:35But I knew if it was found on Martin,
01:11:38it would make things even worse for him.
01:11:40You mean to tell me it was never used?
01:11:42Of course not.
01:11:43I invented it.
01:11:44Then how do you explain the fact that it was impregnated with gas?
01:11:47Yes.
01:11:48Because in my thorough way,
01:11:49I didn't forget to play the gas jet over it.
01:11:52Very clever indeed, Mr. Warren.
01:11:54And at the risk of appearing a trifle dense myself,
01:11:56may I ask how you planted it in the car of a person you didn't know?
01:12:00Quite simple.
01:12:01Martin's car was outside my own front door when I returned from Fenton's flat.
01:12:04Where exactly did you put the contrivance?
01:12:06In the back right hand side of the luggage compartment.
01:12:08Correct?
01:12:12So what you're saying is that Fenton committed suicide
01:12:14and you made it look like murder.
01:12:16Is that it?
01:12:17It is.
01:12:20Very interesting, eh, Fox?
01:12:22Yes, sir.
01:12:23Very.
01:12:24Will that be all, Inspector?
01:12:25Yes, that'll be all.
01:12:31For the moment.
01:12:37He swallowed it.
01:12:38Hook, line and sinker.
01:12:39You're sure, sir?
01:12:40Quite sure.
01:12:41Mind you, I was pretty good.
01:12:42You didn't say too much.
01:12:43George, a Scot.
01:12:44Good Lord, now, just a few fills here and there, that's all.
01:12:46You weren't nervous?
01:12:47No, I had a couple of drinks before I went in
01:12:49just to start me off.
01:12:50After that, all set.
01:12:51Oh, Lee, I do hope so.
01:12:52What are you worried about?
01:12:53Have another drink.
01:12:54George, dry martini.
01:12:55I'll have another Scot.
01:12:57Oh, Mr. Warren, there's a gentleman to see you.
01:12:59Oh, thanks.
01:13:04Sorry to worry you again so soon, Mr. Warren.
01:13:07Oh, that's all right.
01:13:08You've come to arrest me for obstruction
01:13:10or withholding evidence or something, I suppose.
01:13:12No, we don't want you.
01:13:13We've got Martin.
01:13:14Surely my confession clears Martin.
01:13:16Well, that's just it, Mr. Warren.
01:13:17We don't altogether like Martin.
01:13:19We don't like Martin.
01:13:20We don't like Martin.
01:13:21We don't like Martin.
01:13:22We don't like Martin.
01:13:23We don't like Martin.
01:13:24We don't like Martin.
01:13:25We don't altogether like your confession, as you call it.
01:13:28In fact, we're not inclined to believe it,
01:13:30unless you can produce a little more tangible evidence
01:13:32to support it.
01:13:33Why should I have trouble to invent a story like that?
01:13:35Or because you were grateful to Martin
01:13:37for getting rid of Fenton so conveniently for you?
01:13:40Or because your wife asked you to?
01:13:41That's all nonsense.
01:13:43Everything I told you this morning is the truth.
01:13:46Perhaps I'm rather dull,
01:13:48but frankly, I don't believe any man could think
01:13:50as fast as you say you did.
01:13:51Well, I warn you, that's the evidence I shall give
01:13:53if you bring Martin to trial.
01:13:54Do you really think you should?
01:13:55You're sitting pretty.
01:13:57Why save him at the expense of yourself?
01:13:59Because I can't see an innocent man hang.
01:14:01That isn't what you thought a fortnight ago.
01:14:03How could I find out since then
01:14:04there was nothing between Martin and my wife?
01:14:06Your wife told you that?
01:14:07She did.
01:14:08And I believed her.
01:14:10I wish I could believe you, sir, but I can't.
01:14:13What more do you want?
01:14:14Just something to convince me that your story is true,
01:14:16that you really were in the flat that night.
01:14:18Well, let me think.
01:14:20There must be something.
01:14:22I know.
01:14:23There was a dishcloth over the oven door to keep the gas in.
01:14:26Oh, come now, sir.
01:14:27That's the sort of thing you could have read
01:14:28in the news of the world any time.
01:14:29Wait a minute.
01:14:31The kitchen, I've got it.
01:14:33Someone had knocked the milk over.
01:14:34There was a pool of milk on the floor.
01:14:37Is that enough for you?
01:14:40You know, it almost looks as though
01:14:41you really were in Fenton's flat that night.
01:14:43Of course I was.
01:14:44But I still don't think your story is true.
01:14:47Now you're being insulting.
01:14:49I hope not, sir. I don't mean to be.
01:14:50You know, sir,
01:14:51I learned a great deal about art on the case once.
01:14:54It seems that every artist has a certain style,
01:14:56and often it's not necessary for an expert
01:14:58to see the signature on a picture.
01:15:00You can recognise the artist from the style.
01:15:04What's that got to do with me?
01:15:05Just this, sir.
01:15:07Your alibi for Martin is too slick.
01:15:09If he'd told me your story,
01:15:10I'd have been more inclined to believe it.
01:15:12You see, it has the same style about it as the murder.
01:15:16Good afternoon, sir.
01:15:21Inspector Pembrey, madam.
01:15:23Good afternoon.
01:15:24Good afternoon, Inspector.
01:15:26What can I do for you?
01:15:27Well, as a matter of fact, I've come to ask your help.
01:15:30I can't believe you need that.
01:15:31Oh, two heads are better than one, you know.
01:15:33It was your husband's idea.
01:15:35Really?
01:15:36Yes, he came to see me today
01:15:37and told me an extraordinary story.
01:15:39He said that Fenton really committed suicide,
01:15:42but because your husband was jealous of Martin,
01:15:44he arranged things to look as though Fenton
01:15:46had been murdered by Martin.
01:15:47I know.
01:15:48He told me all about it.
01:15:49I said he ought to go straight to you.
01:15:50I'm afraid it won't work, you know.
01:15:52I don't know what you mean.
01:15:53It's quite clear, surely.
01:15:54I don't believe your story,
01:15:55and I'm not going to release Martin.
01:15:57Well, if that's your attitude,
01:15:59I don't know what I can do about it.
01:16:01You could persuade your husband
01:16:02to confess that he murdered Fenton.
01:16:04What makes you think my husband killed him?
01:16:06Everything points to it.
01:16:08You must be joking.
01:16:09No, no.
01:16:10If you were to ask me at this moment
01:16:11who murdered Fenton,
01:16:12I should have to say it was my husband.
01:16:14If you were to ask me at this moment
01:16:15who murdered Fenton,
01:16:16I should have to say Mr. Warren.
01:16:18But I can't prove it.
01:16:19He's been too clever for us so far.
01:16:21But I can prove it against Martin.
01:16:24So either you've got to help me,
01:16:26or I've got to go ahead
01:16:27and hang a man who's probably innocent.
01:16:29I think you'd better go.
01:16:30What you're suggesting is insulting and ridiculous.
01:16:33Very well.
01:16:35Look, Mrs. Warren.
01:16:37When Martin comes up for trial,
01:16:38you'll be called as a witness,
01:16:39and there'll be a lot of dirty linen washed in public.
01:16:42But if your husband confesses,
01:16:43we shan't have to call you.
01:16:45You'll make a very attractive widow.
01:16:47To put it bluntly,
01:16:48don't you think it's a question
01:16:49of which of the two you prefer,
01:16:50your husband or Mr. Martin?
01:16:51How dare you?
01:16:52Of course I prefer my husband.
01:17:05You rang, madam?
01:17:07Yes, Rita.
01:17:08I've got two seats for the Follies tonight.
01:17:10We can't go.
01:17:11Would you like...
01:17:12It's not my evening off till tomorrow, madam.
01:17:14That doesn't matter.
01:17:15You take tonight off as well.
01:17:17Thank you very much, madam.
01:17:19I'll leave the tickets on the hall table for you.
01:17:21Now you go and ring your boyfriend.
01:17:23Yes, thank you, madam.
01:17:43Hello, darling.
01:17:44Hello.
01:17:47You're late.
01:17:49Yes, I am a bit.
01:17:52Gosh, I'm tired.
01:17:54Come in here and I'll give you a nice drink.
01:17:56Thanks.
01:17:58Had a busy day?
01:18:00Not particularly.
01:18:01You've been overdoing it again, you know.
01:18:04Yes, I suppose I have.
01:18:07I walked home.
01:18:08Good heavens, what a day.
01:18:09I wanted to think.
01:18:12Pembrey was at the office this afternoon.
01:18:14He's been here, too.
01:18:16What did he say?
01:18:17Don't worry, darling.
01:18:19Put your feet up and relax.
01:18:21There we are.
01:18:23I can handle him.
01:18:25What did he want?
01:18:27Oh, he was just probing around, as usual.
01:18:30I think he knows I did it.
01:18:32Did he say so?
01:18:34No, but he kept on hinting.
01:18:36I don't know.
01:18:38No, but he kept on hinting.
01:18:40He said he didn't believe a word of my story.
01:18:43He said more than that to me.
01:18:45What?
01:18:47He said he was quite sure you did it.
01:18:49Well, there you are.
01:18:50But he knew he couldn't prove it.
01:18:52I'm not so sure.
01:18:54Well, I am and so is he.
01:18:56He admitted he hadn't got a thing to go on.
01:18:59Now shut your eyes, darling, and rest up a bit.
01:19:02Oh, I'm chucked off, madam.
01:19:04Have a good time.
01:19:05You look very nice tonight, Rita.
01:19:07Thank you, madam.
01:19:10What on earth are you doing?
01:19:12Packing.
01:19:13I can see that.
01:19:14What for?
01:19:15They're taking a trip.
01:19:17Don't be an idiot, Vivienne.
01:19:18I can't stand any more tonight.
01:19:20Listen, Lee.
01:19:21I found the answer to the whole wretched business.
01:19:24You remember Pierre?
01:19:26No, who's Pierre?
01:19:28Pierre Roger.
01:19:29The lawyer we met in Paris.
01:19:31Well, what about him?
01:19:33Well, he's back in London.
01:19:34I spoke to him this afternoon.
01:19:36You didn't tell him anything about me, I mean?
01:19:38Yes, I did.
01:19:39You shouldn't have done that.
01:19:40Suppose he goes to the police.
01:19:41He won't.
01:19:42I know Pierre.
01:19:43You can trust him absolutely.
01:19:45Well, I hope you're right.
01:19:46Of course I'm right.
01:19:48Besides, the lawyers, like a doctor or a priest,
01:19:50they never repeat anything.
01:19:52All right.
01:19:53What did he say?
01:19:55He's very smart.
01:19:56You know that.
01:19:57And he says the best thing for you to do
01:19:59is to get out of the country at once.
01:20:01Not a hope.
01:20:02We'll be stopped before we get across the Channel.
01:20:04Pierre says not.
01:20:06He says they can't stop you without charging you,
01:20:08and we know they can't do that.
01:20:10He's flying back to Paris in the morning.
01:20:12We can have two seats on his plane.
01:20:14It'll never work.
01:20:16It's got to work.
01:20:18Oh, yes, and there's one other thing.
01:20:20Pierre said you shouldn't just walk out.
01:20:22That might look bad, as though you're running away.
01:20:24He said you should write the inspector a note.
01:20:25Saying you're going away to avoid the publicity.
01:20:28I don't very much like the sound of that.
01:20:30Well, that's what Pierre said.
01:20:32I'd better telephone him.
01:20:34No, darling, don't do that.
01:20:36He particularly said not, in case the line's tapped.
01:20:38Yes, I suppose they might do that.
01:20:40Oh, perhaps I...
01:20:42Don't move, darling.
01:20:44I'll get you some writing paper.
01:20:50He said write the note and leave it here.
01:20:52Then take it to the inspector.
01:20:53Write the note and leave it here.
01:20:55Then take the car.
01:20:57Darling, then take the car down to the airport in the morning.
01:21:01All right.
01:21:03I'll try anything once.
01:21:05There you are.
01:21:07The envelopes are in there.
01:21:11Vivienne.
01:21:13Do I have to write this tonight?
01:21:15Darling, the plane leaves at 7.30.
01:21:17I can't see you doing it in the morning.
01:21:20I don't know what to say.
01:21:21Tell him the truth.
01:21:23You're fed up, you can't stand the publicity,
01:21:25and so you're getting out.
01:21:27I wouldn't say too much.
01:21:29I don't like putting things down on paper.
01:21:31You never know what people will make of them afterwards.
01:21:33Please yourself, darling.
01:21:35I'm only telling you what Pierre said.
01:21:37Well, I've got to have another drink first.
01:21:39The only drink you're going to have tonight is hot milk.
01:21:42I hate milk.
01:21:44Well, maybe just a little whiskey in it?
01:21:46Please.
01:21:48Don't go yet.
01:21:49Tell me what to say first.
01:21:51I'm no good at letter writing, that's your job.
01:21:53Well, you might give me a start.
01:21:55Darling, I've told you what to say.
01:21:57You're fed up, you can't stand the publicity,
01:21:59and so you're getting out while the going's good.
01:22:01Now get on with it.
01:22:20Finished?
01:22:22Just about.
01:22:28Oh, thanks.
01:22:30May I?
01:22:32Of course.
01:22:37I never know whether it's the milk that spoils the whiskey,
01:22:40or the whiskey that spoils the milk.
01:22:45You can't have it both ways, darling.
01:22:50Oh, Ernie.
01:22:52Oh, what's up? Lost the tickets?
01:22:54No, just remembered I've left them on the whole table in the flat.
01:22:56Oh, that's torn it. What do we do now?
01:22:58Oh, we'll have to go back.
01:23:00Oh, we'll miss half the show.
01:23:02No, we won't, not if we hurry. See if you can get a taxi.
01:23:14That's made me feel really drowsy.
01:23:17I'm not surprised.
01:23:19I put some of your tablets in it.
01:23:21Good. How many?
01:23:23Twenty.
01:23:25Twenty?
01:23:29That'll kill me.
01:23:31Yes, dear.
01:23:33You're not serious?
01:23:35Yes, Lee, I'm quite serious.
01:23:44Well, I've done it.
01:23:45I've done it.
01:23:47Yes, I know.
01:23:49I've done it again.
01:23:51I've done it all.
01:23:53I'm afraid that was just a fable, dear.
01:23:55You see, if I hadn't made you think that I loved you,
01:23:59and was ready to go away with you,
01:24:01you would never have saved Jimmy.
01:24:04So you do love him?
01:24:06Yes.
01:24:08Yes, Lee, I do.
01:24:12I can see.
01:24:15Get a doctor, please.
01:24:17Before it's too late.
01:24:19Please.
01:24:21Please.
01:24:23It is too late, Lee.
01:24:25But you needn't worry.
01:24:27You won't feel anything.
01:24:29You'll just get sleepier and sleepier.
01:24:33Vivian.
01:24:35For pity's sake.
01:24:37I don't want you to die, Lee.
01:24:39But you've got to.
01:24:41Why?
01:24:42So that I may go on living the way I want to live.
01:25:12Oh!
01:25:29Good evening.
01:25:31I want to speak to you for a moment.
01:25:33I was just going out.
01:25:35I won't keep you very long.
01:25:37It's about Jimmy.
01:25:39All right.
01:25:40He asked me to give you this.
01:25:43He said there wasn't any point in his keeping it any longer.
01:25:47You're lying.
01:25:49Jimmy would never say that to me.
01:25:51I know Jimmy.
01:25:53Do you, Mrs. Warren?
01:25:55Get out.
01:25:57Very well.
01:25:59Good night.
01:26:10Good night.
01:26:40Help!
01:26:42Help!
01:26:44What's the trouble?
01:26:46Mr. Warren, he's dead!
01:26:57Mr. Warren!
01:26:59Mr. Warren!
01:27:01Mr. Warren!
01:27:03Mr. Warren!
01:27:05Mr. Warren!
01:27:07Mr. Warren!
01:27:09Tell me, is there a doctor in this block?
01:27:12Yes, on the block below.
01:27:14Go and get him, quick.
01:27:24Inspector Penberry.
01:27:26Yes, quickly.
01:27:29Can I ask him another question?
01:27:31You can, but it won't do any good.
01:27:34I'm afraid we were too late.
01:27:36Yes.
01:27:39Maybe...
01:27:41Have you anything to tell us, sir?
01:27:44No, madam. Mr. Martin won't see you.
01:27:46But did you tell him who it was?
01:27:48Did you say it was Mrs. Warren?
01:27:50Yes, I told him. And he still doesn't want to see you.
01:27:52But I must see him. It's very important.
01:27:54I'm sorry, madam.
01:27:56But you don't understand. It's very urgent.
01:27:58Mr. Martin was most definite.
01:28:00He said there was nothing he had to say to you.
01:28:08She's here, sir. In the living room.
01:28:39Please, inspector, not again.
01:28:41As you say, Mrs. Warren, not again.
01:28:43I think this is the last time.
01:28:47Have you seen my husband?
01:28:49Yes, madam. Mr. Warren's in the bedroom.
01:28:51He died a few minutes ago.
01:28:54We were too late to save him.
01:28:56But we were just in time to learn how helpful you'd been
01:28:58in effecting his release.
01:29:00I don't know what you mean.
01:29:02Don't you, Mrs. Warren?
01:29:04Then you'd better come along with me to the station
01:29:06and I'll explain more fully.
01:29:09Yours, madam?
01:29:14Till death
01:29:16us do part.
