00:00:00Good morning, Miss Redding.
00:00:29Good morning.
00:00:30I don't suppose there's any mail for me, is there?
00:00:34I'm sorry, no.
00:00:59No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
00:01:28no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
00:01:58Paul.
00:01:59Yes, she's the one, no doubt about it.
00:02:02High hair, colouring right down to her shoe size.
00:02:05Better still, she gets hardly any mail.
00:02:08A lonely girl.
00:02:10Yes, I'm about to fall desperately in love with Jenny Frith.
00:02:14Single, dress size 12, shoe size 8, from Muncie, Indiana.
00:02:22A lonely girl.
00:02:53Oh, what on earth does one do in a place like this?
00:03:07Oh, I'm so sorry, I've disturbed you.
00:03:11No, I was talking out loud.
00:03:13You didn't, really.
00:03:14Are you sure?
00:03:15Yes.
00:03:16I think I did.
00:03:17Anyway, as I was thinking out loud, I'll ask it again.
00:03:20What on earth does one do in a place like this?
00:03:23Oh, well, let's see.
00:03:25I usually take a walk along the seafront.
00:03:29Did that early this morning.
00:03:32Do you have a good book to read?
00:03:34Oh, I'm not really in the mood for reading.
00:03:41I have a better idea.
00:03:44Why don't we just talk?
00:03:46People don't do that these days, do they?
00:03:48Talk? Communicate?
00:03:50I don't think I'm particularly dull, and I'm sure you've lots of interesting things to tell.
00:03:54I'm afraid I'm not very...
00:03:55Oh, nonsense. Let's give it a try, anyway.
00:03:59I'm so sorry, I really have no right whatever it is to come in here...
00:04:02No, no, no, it's all right, really. I'd like to talk.
00:04:05You're not offended?
00:04:06Oh, no.
00:04:07Honestly?
00:04:08No, honestly, really.
00:04:09Well, if we're going to talk, I'm going to introduce myself.
00:04:12Paul Turner.
00:04:13I'm Jennifer Frith.
00:04:14Don't tell me.
00:04:16Indiana.
00:04:17How did you know that?
00:04:19No, I've traveled the States quite a bit, and I've got a good ear for an accent.
00:04:22Am I right?
00:04:23Absolutely right, yes.
00:04:26Oh, dear.
00:04:28I suppose I'm fed up with this place because...
00:04:30I've just taken a place myself by the coast.
00:04:32Oh.
00:04:33Busman's Holiday.
00:04:34Busman's...
00:04:35Busman's Holiday?
00:04:36No.
00:04:37No, it's an English phrase.
00:04:38It means no holiday at all. Don't ask me why.
00:04:41House is a funny language, isn't it?
00:04:44Yes.
00:04:46Would you like some coffee?
00:04:47Oh, I'd love some. Thank you.
00:04:48Yes, and then you can tell me all about yourself, and I won't be bored anymore.
00:04:52Well, I can't promise that.
00:04:54Better still, it'd be good for my ego.
00:04:56You're right. Ego.
00:04:58It's always good for a man's ego to be seen in the company of an attractive woman.
00:05:09Paul.
00:05:11Of course I got through to her. Candy from kids.
00:05:15Listen, we have an interest in common.
00:05:17Shelley.
00:05:19Yes, romantic, isn't it?
00:05:21Get me a copy of his poems, will you?
00:05:24He's a poet.
00:05:26Oh, yes, we're having dinner tonight at eight.
00:05:41Excuse me.
00:05:58My watch says that it's about eight...
00:06:00Eight twenty-eight, miss.
00:06:02Yes.
00:06:03And it's right.
00:06:04You checked before.
00:06:05That's right, I did.
00:06:07We stop serving dinner soon, miss. You'll have to hurry.
00:06:11I will.
00:06:22Shelley.
00:06:23Oh.
00:06:24I can't apologize enough. I had a meeting the other side. A ton of my car broke down.
00:06:27It's perfectly all right.
00:06:28I'm so sorry.
00:06:29It doesn't matter. You're here. That's all that matters.
00:06:30Do you forgive me?
00:06:31Of course I do. Really.
00:06:32I kept her waiting thirty minutes, and she loved me for it.
00:06:35Yes.
00:06:38I was starving by that time.
00:06:41It was coming along beautifully.
00:06:45And tomorrow she gets a whirlwind of romantic pleasures.
00:06:49Starting with a full flower treatment.
00:06:58Where are we going?
00:06:59Shelley's birthplace.
00:07:00You're kidding.
00:07:01But that must be miles away.
00:07:03Two hundred to be exact.
00:07:04That's why we have a car.
00:07:05But don't you have business things that you have to do and do?
00:07:07Cancel them.
00:07:08I've always intended to make the pilgrimage, and somehow I just never got round to it.
00:07:14I know now why.
00:07:16I needed someone to share it with.
00:07:19Exhausted.
00:07:20I didn't know where an English poet's could be.
00:07:23We've been everywhere.
00:07:25Hmm.
00:07:26Everywhere.
00:07:28Anyway, the hook's baited.
00:07:31And tonight's the night.
00:07:35Cream, no sugar.
00:07:36Right.
00:07:39Getting used to you.
00:07:45Meeting you, I expected all this to be just work.
00:07:52You haven't done much of that.
00:07:54Well, that is your fault.
00:07:57Oh, Jenny.
00:08:02Jenny.
00:08:06Oh, I hate goodbyes.
00:08:09I just hate them.
00:08:15There's a phrase.
00:08:17Everybody uses it, and very few actually mean it.
00:08:21It's been nice meeting you.
00:08:26Paul?
00:08:37Who is it?
00:08:38Paul.
00:08:47Jenny, it's mad and it's crazy, but I'm not going to be able to leave you behind tomorrow.
00:08:53I want you to come with me.
00:08:54Be my wife.
00:08:55Oh, Paul.
00:08:56I know it's ridiculous, and I know we've only known each other days, but I love you.
00:09:01Oh, I love you.
00:09:23Oh, it should have been a big affair.
00:09:24Oh, darling, it was lovely.
00:09:26No, white.
00:09:27A dozen bridesmaids.
00:09:28But I don't mind Paul really hanging out.
00:09:30It's so quiet here.
00:09:32So tucked away.
00:09:33Darling, we have so much ahead of us.
00:09:40Yes.
00:10:01Oh, it's beautiful.
00:10:22Needs a woman's touch.
00:10:23Oh, it's really lovely.
00:10:25You go on through.
00:10:26I'll be with you in a moment.
00:10:29Oh, I just love these old places.
00:10:31There's so much charm and texture.
00:10:34It's really lonely, though, isn't it?
00:10:36I don't think I saw another house for the last two miles.
00:10:38There's an old boy who lives on the other side of the cliff.
00:10:40But you're right, it is lonely.
00:10:42But then when I took it, I didn't know I was going to be taking a wife as well.
00:10:47But now you're here, it's not going to be lonely anymore.
00:10:49It's going to be wonderful.
00:10:51Oh, I know what.
00:10:52As soon as possible, we'll have a housewarming, OK?
00:10:55Housewarming?
00:10:56Well, that's the traditional thing, isn't it?
00:10:57Of course, there won't be any of my friends here, but your friends.
00:10:59I'm dying to meet them.
00:11:01You do have friends, don't you?
00:11:04Of course I do.
00:11:26I love you.
00:11:55Oh?
00:12:14Hey.
00:12:15Stay away from here.
00:12:19What was that?
00:12:21No, there was a click on the line.
00:12:23Don't say anything.
00:12:25I'll be in touch.
00:12:43Jenny?
00:13:06Hello?
00:13:16Good morning.
00:13:31Good morning.
00:13:50The front door key.
00:13:52Well, I thought I'd better return it.
00:13:55Mrs. Bradley, I used to clean for the last people who's lived here.
00:13:59Oh, you really startled me.
00:14:02I'm Mrs. Tanner.
00:14:05Yes, I know.
00:14:06Oh.
00:14:07Well, I hadn't heard anything, so I thought I'd better return the key.
00:14:11Heard anything about...
00:14:13Whether I'd still be required or not to clean.
00:14:16Oh, I see.
00:14:18Oh, well, of course I want you to stay.
00:14:21This place is much too big for me to take care of by myself.
00:14:23I didn't come here begging for a job.
00:14:25Oh, no, no, no, really.
00:14:26I'd love it if you'd help, if you will.
00:14:29Tell you the truth, I'd really appreciate the company as well.
00:14:33Three mornings a week?
00:14:34Oh, fine, yes.
00:14:38Well, I'd better get started then.
00:14:51So must I.
00:14:58Jenny!
00:15:03Darling?
00:15:10Good evening, Mr. Tanner.
00:15:17What on earth are you doing?
00:15:18What?
00:15:20What have you done to your hair?
00:15:22Well, I...
00:15:23Well, I put it up this afternoon...
00:15:24And your makeup!
00:15:25Well, Paul, I just did it for...
00:15:26And the jewelry and that dress!
00:15:28I thought you'd like it, Paul!
00:15:29You don't look anything like...
00:15:32Jenny!
00:15:45I shouldn't have blown my top like that.
00:15:55I'm sorry.
00:16:03I just can't stand painted faces.
00:16:07Sophisticated women.
00:16:10And when I saw you just now, suddenly...
00:16:13It wasn't you.
00:16:16It wasn't the girl I married.
00:16:19The girl I fell in love with.
00:16:22I love you, Jenny.
00:16:26You, just the way you are.
00:16:37I didn't mean...
00:16:44I just wanted to please you, that's all.
00:16:49And you succeed beyond my wildest dreams.
00:16:54Oh, yeah.
00:16:58Oh, you look terrible.
00:17:02Now, clean up your face.
00:17:05And revert to the girl I know.
00:17:07Yes?
00:17:10Okay.
00:17:20Well...
00:17:23Mrs. Bradley thought it was a tremendous improvement.
00:17:27Mrs. Bradley?
00:17:28Uh-huh.
00:17:31She's the woman who cleans for us.
00:17:33I didn't hire a cleaner.
00:17:35I know.
00:17:36That's one important item you overlooked, Mr. Planner.
00:17:40I'll get one tomorrow.
00:17:41No.
00:17:42No need.
00:17:43We have Mrs. Bradley.
00:17:45As a matter of fact, she used to clean here before.
00:17:48Perhaps I won't like Mrs. Bradley.
00:17:50Well, I don't think you have to,
00:17:51since I'm the one who has to deal with her.
00:17:53Yes, well, as long as she's not the nosy type,
00:17:55I can't bear people who pry.
00:17:57Oh, she's very nice.
00:17:58Very efficient.
00:17:59A bit of a busybody, but I like her.
00:18:04Darling,
00:18:06letting me have my choice of cleaning woman
00:18:08isn't going to upset anything, is it?
00:18:12Of course it isn't.
00:18:16♪
00:18:22♪
00:18:26♪
00:18:29♪
00:18:32♪
00:18:35♪
00:18:38♪
00:18:41♪
00:18:44♪
00:18:47Mrs. Bradley, have you seen my husband?
00:18:50Yeah, he was up north early this morning,
00:18:52just as I arrived.
00:18:53Did he say where he was going?
00:18:55Oh, no, but he did say he'd be back soon.
00:18:57Oh.
00:18:58Oh, I'm glad to see this place rented again.
00:19:02It's not right for it to be standing empty.
00:19:04It's not rented anymore. My husband bought it.
00:19:07I'm not on your life.
00:19:09Colonel Mullard's place this is.
00:19:15Is that what he told you? He bought it?
00:19:18Well, no, not exactly. I just assumed that he did.
00:19:21No, it belongs to Colonel Mullard.
00:19:23Oh, it did?
00:19:24His executives look after it now.
00:19:26You know, the people who run things for you after you're buried.
00:19:30Yes, his executors.
00:19:31Yeah, that's it.
00:19:33Oh.
00:19:34Don't approve of marriages where the husband has his own secrets.
00:19:38It's not a secret. I made a mistake, that's all.
00:19:45I'm sorry.
00:20:16Darling.
00:20:18You were out early.
00:20:20Well, with good reason.
00:20:22I felt so rotten about last night.
00:20:24Oh.
00:20:25Here.
00:20:26For me?
00:20:27Mm-hmm.
00:20:28I bought you a dress of my own choice,
00:20:30and I can't make any silly complaints, can I?
00:20:32Oh, isn't that nice?
00:20:34Oh, it's beautiful.
00:20:37Oh, it's really lovely.
00:20:39Look, it's even my size.
00:20:41Will you forgive me?
00:20:42Oh, thank you.
00:20:44Must fly.
00:20:45Got a meeting the other side of town.
00:20:47Okay.
00:20:48Bye-bye.
00:20:49Bye-bye.
00:20:56Oh, darling.
00:20:58You know, it's the funniest thing,
00:21:01but for some reason I had it in my mind that we owned this house, no?
00:21:06Aren't you glad we don't?
00:21:09Choosing a house to bring up a family,
00:21:11that's a job for two.
00:21:13We'll see the winter out here and then in the spring.
00:21:16Oh, darling.
00:21:18You're too good to me.
00:21:20Mm-hmm.
00:21:21See you later.
00:21:22Mm-hmm.

00:25:30Yeah.
00:25:33And you don't clean brand new dresses, do you?
00:25:37No, you don't, Mrs. Tanner.
00:25:55And I had to go along to the bank, try to rescue some of my shares.
00:26:24Well, I think I could do better playing the horses.
00:26:28All right, darling.
00:26:29You're not eating anything?
00:26:31I don't feel very hungry.
00:26:33Hope you're not getting flu.
00:26:34A lot of it about.
00:26:37Listen, if you do feel ill, let me get the doctor, will you?
00:26:41Don't want you being mucked around by these local quacks.
00:26:47I think perhaps you ought to have an early night.
00:26:54I've been thinking.
00:26:55What?
00:27:00You search my things.
00:27:03Why didn't you tell me that you had been married before?
00:27:12Something that I don't like to talk about.
00:27:16For Pete's sake, why?
00:27:17I'll never talk about it!
00:27:23I'm sorry Jenny that was foolish and stupid of me I should have told you
00:27:29before something it's something I'm trying to forget
00:27:34that's not true you know it's not true look at the photograph look at the hair
00:27:37look at the type that could be me even the dress this dress
00:27:46it's her dress isn't it
00:27:53well you must have loved her very much to want to recreate her in me but Paul I
00:28:01don't want to be an imitation I don't want to be just a carbon copy of
00:28:05someone else I want to be loved for me now if you love someone else when we got
00:28:11married you should have told me I know I know but you've got it all wrong I
00:28:16didn't love her I hated her I don't know why I wanted you to look like her
00:28:29maybe maybe it was to try and to to exercise it from my mind maybe it was to
00:28:36persuade myself that someone who looked like her didn't have to be bad maybe it
00:28:43was my way of replacing her
00:28:51of totally replacing her with you
00:28:58Paul if that's true
00:29:03of course it's true where is she now? dead. an accident
00:29:15a mere fortunate accident her death only touched me with relief
00:29:24oh Paul
00:29:27I'm so sorry oh what have I done I searched your things it's all right
00:29:40it's all right it isn't all right and I don't know why I did it I just I felt
00:29:46that I had to I understand I understand I think it was the shock of hearing it
00:29:52from a total stranger what oh there was a man here um this morning just as you

00:30:04minute he left his number

00:30:22and he wants you to call him he wasn't sent here by anyone no darling he just
00:30:26happened to be going by it was complete coincidence oh oh well I think I ought

00:36:28records no really took me some time to I wanted to be sure absolutely sure you
00:36:34know something Paul there is no record of your divorce from Tony no death
00:36:39certificate either so she's still alive and married to you and you're a bigamist
00:36:42mate I mean I don't know what the score for big me is but I'd say it's worth
00:36:48five years Cheers
00:36:57gone well it took me some time to work it out work out what to work out where
00:37:06the prophet was and where we are concerned as always a prophet right and
00:37:11then it struck me clear as a cloudless day your new wife and how closely she
00:37:17resembles Tony or not identical but enough because that's all the witness
00:37:22really remembers isn't it the overall the bare essentials it's good Paul I like
00:37:30it it's beautiful much better than we've ever dreamed up before I don't
00:37:40know what you're talking about come off it this is Jack remember Jack
00:37:53honesty don't be to spell it out to me to tell you exactly what you
00:38:05that's the general picture I think oh I may have some of the finer details wrong
00:38:11but that's not it how much do you want half half you've got to be crazy I know
00:38:22what I'm holding a good hand Paul you've never dealt a better one I don't
00:38:27even have to bargain half it is and half it's gonna be you can have all the time
00:38:35in the world to think it over I don't mind because I know what the answer has
00:38:39to be
00:38:41yes
00:38:49I have to talk to Tony sure sure go ahead it won't change anything though
00:38:58was it um it looks as though we're back in business again let's celebrate the
00:39:04reunion eh why don't you help yourself to a cigar sounds wonderful
00:39:16Havana hmm I say you've laid out quite an investment here haven't you
00:39:34no answer
00:39:49maybe she's off somewhere getting married to someone else
00:40:04I'll tell you one thing Jack yeah I bet you remember that time we took a boat on
00:40:27the river yes without Sue Curls hmm you got stuck with the ugly one
00:40:38course you remember yours had buck teeth
00:40:45I particularly remember one thing you said to me Jack you said I'd be the
00:41:04death of you yes we must do this again sometime when you get back
00:41:23what yes yes it's you old Jack
00:41:31delighted
00:41:47Paul
00:42:00Oh
00:42:30I told you he was putting the squeeze on I know we could have paid him off
00:42:51for anything no half Tony he wanted half
00:42:59they'll find him they'll find an unknown man eventually everything out of his
00:43:05pockets labels off all his clothing his body they'll identify his body I put him
00:43:14over the cliff Tony the time he's washed up ten miles or so further on there
00:43:20won't be much left to identify it's what we've been gambling on all along isn't it
00:43:25the rocks and the sea'll do our job for us

00:47:54vigorous all right and have this prescription made up there
00:48:00mr. Turner that's wonderful thank you very much doctor
00:48:05lovely now why the sudden flurry of attention it isn't sudden and besides I
00:48:12thought you needed it oh yeah I was looking at you this morning yes I think

00:48:25stay in bed oh come on I'm not an invalid humor me girls like you are
00:48:29scarce I'll do as dr. Paul says just stay in bed just for an extra hour all
00:48:33right dr. Paul that's better and what else does the doctor prescribe
00:48:41and this
00:48:47overdose could be disastrous for the doctor
00:48:59morning mrs. Turner won't be down right away she's going to stay in bed for a
00:49:04while she's not feeling too well oh dear well I hope she'll be all right
00:49:09well you've probably noticed
00:49:14you must have noticed that she hasn't been herself recently yes yes I have
00:49:21is it another of those blackouts then who told you oh mr. Pembrey from down
00:49:27the road I'll clean for him too he said he saw a pass right out he said like
00:49:33death yes I didn't expect news to travel quite so fast
00:49:38well I do hope it's nothing serious oh I'm sure it isn't but I would like you
00:49:44to promise me one thing mrs. Turner's a bit sensitive about well I mean she
00:49:50doesn't like the people to think she's some sort of invalid so what we've
00:49:54discussed the the blackouts I'd rather you didn't mention them to her oh no
00:49:58mr. Turner because because if you did I really think it might make her even
00:50:02worse she might pass out on you or something oh I won't mention it sir I
00:50:07promise good
00:50:20it'll be our secret so it's up to you now yes
00:50:28Oh Paul I wish we'd... don't break up now. come on. got to go through with it we're too close
00:50:36now oh I wouldn't do anything else I want to go through with it I want to
00:50:41see it hasn't been easy for me the past few weeks you know thinking about you
00:50:49and her together I've been jealous
00:50:57oh
00:51:11no other woman would have just stood by yes I know but that's us isn't it
00:51:18we can put aside emotions only just put them aside and go for the clean cool
00:51:23money
00:51:26I think I ought to go so when?
00:51:31mrs. Bradley leaves at 1. the old boy go for his walk at 2.
00:51:37yes but when do you make your move? 2.15
00:51:42at that time the old boy will be close enough to see it happen but not so close
00:51:46that he can say how
00:51:53I'll be right back
00:51:55hey Paul. you're really early. yes wanted to be. man belongs with his wife once in a
00:52:24while. all work and no play. today is gonna be all play and no work. we're gonna have
00:52:28dinner go for a walk have a drink. in which order? drink first. do you want one?
00:52:35then we'll go for a walk on the cliff. oh won't that be nice. we'll have it all to
00:52:39ourselves this time of day.
00:52:42darling are you all right? it's I'm fine. why? nothing's bothering you? no. what
00:53:03could be? I just wondered. that's all. hey you don't. I'll go and change my
00:53:10shoes. darling I've never asked you you know about your business. all those
00:53:22deals that take up so much of your time. I guess I figured that if you want to
00:53:26talk about them you would. so what? I don't want to talk about them and I
00:53:30won't. so then everything is going all right then. yes everything. as planned.
00:53:40darling I hope you don't mind my asking about your business. it's just that you
00:53:53seem so moody and withdrawn lately as if you're worrying about something and it
00:54:00would be just like you to keep it from me not to worry me. but darling if it is
00:54:07business. I mean if things just don't happen to be going to be all right now.
00:54:12please. I have about a million dollars of my own. a million dollars? oh it's probably
00:54:23even more than that by now with interest and so on. well why didn't you tell me?
00:54:28you never asked. you assumed I had a small allowance enough to travel on but
00:54:33you never asked further and I respected you for that. but also I didn't want you
00:54:40to know. why? it's not unknown for a man to marry a woman for her money. but you
00:54:48married me because you love me. million dollars? that changes everything. ah so
00:54:56you do need money. oh no no. no I wouldn't touch a penny of it. no it's just it's just
00:55:06for a to discover that you've married an heiress. it's a bit of a shock. you were just. yes.
00:55:14no no we promised a date to ourselves. just ourselves and no one else. no work.
00:55:44I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry
00:56:12I'm so sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I
00:56:42Yes Mrs Tanner
00:56:46I'm sorry I don't understand
00:56:48For your cardiogram Mrs Tanner, you'd remember we'd arrange it for next Wednesday at 11.30
00:56:52but unfortunately I now find I have a hospital call at that time
00:56:55so I rather wondered if we could put it back into
00:56:59Your appointment, Mrs Tanner
00:57:02Well I'm afraid there must be some mistake
00:57:04You are Mrs Tanner, aren't you
00:57:05Yes I am Mrs Tanner
00:57:07but you must mean some other Mrs Tanner
00:57:08Apparently so
00:57:09Uh, uh, just a minute. What is it that I'm supposed to be suffering from?
00:57:14Oh, fainting pits and blackouts.
00:57:17Mrs. Tanner, I'm very much afraid you may have suffered another.
00:57:20Why else wouldn't you remember being here?
00:57:22Because, Doctor, I never was.
00:57:36This is Jack Hardesty, Mrs. Tanner.
00:57:38I'm leaving this with a good friend with instructions to mail it to you
00:57:43if he doesn't hear from me within 24 hours.
00:57:46It's my insurance, so to speak.
00:57:50Yes, I know a lot about insurance, Mrs. Tanner.
00:57:53So does Paul. Oh, Paul's good.
00:57:56Yes, the best con man I ever knew.
00:57:59He and Tony, his first wife, or rather, his real wife.
00:58:02Oh, she's still married to him, you know, still around.
00:58:05And what's more, Tony's life is insured.
00:58:08Oh, a big, big sum.
00:58:10What's more, she took out the policy three years ago.
00:58:12Yes, that's how long they've been planning this.
00:58:15Now, no insurance company's gonna get suspicious that she dies now, after three years.
00:58:20Except that Tony doesn't fancy dying just yet.
00:58:24Now, that's where you come in.
00:58:26You look like her.
00:58:28You look like the woman who took that medical and signed those forms three years ago.
00:58:32You're established now as Paul's wife.
00:58:34And who's going to guess that he has two wives?
00:58:38Get the picture?
00:58:40Tony isn't going to die.
00:58:42You are.
00:58:44You're going to do her dying for her.
00:58:46Then Paul collects on her policy and they both melt away into the sunset.
00:58:52Goodbye, Mrs. Tanner.
00:58:54If ever you get to hear this, then this goodbye is final.
00:58:58No!
00:59:01Oh, no.
00:59:03You can't go.
00:59:05Jenny?
00:59:13Jenny?
00:59:30Jenny?
01:00:01Sweetheart, where did you get to?
01:00:04Darling?
01:00:06Where did you get to, darling, sweetheart?
01:00:10Tony, what are you doing here?
01:00:12Come on, get out of here.
01:00:14Let go of me.
01:00:16She may come in at any time.
01:00:18Afraid she'll see us together?
01:00:20Tony, if she comes in now...
01:00:22She isn't even here. She just ran out to the cliffs.
01:00:25So now's your chance, Paul.
01:00:27You obviously couldn't do it before, so do it now.
01:00:30I was going to call you.
01:00:31Oh, I'm sure you were.
01:00:32I was going to call you. Things have changed.
01:00:33Oh, things are you. You're feeling for her.
01:00:35Listen to me!
01:00:37She's got a million dollars of her own.
01:00:41I was...
01:00:43She's got a million dollars.
01:00:45Oh, it makes what we're after look like chicken feed.
01:00:48A million dollars.
01:00:50Look, we're going to have to rethink.
01:00:53It may take some time.
01:00:56Meanwhile, get out of here. Go on.
01:01:00How much time?
01:01:02I don't know. A few months, maybe six.
01:01:05No, Paul. No, no.
01:01:08What?
01:01:09No, we're going to do what we agreed as we agreed.
01:01:11Don't be ridiculous. She's got a million dollars, don't you see?
01:01:14Oh, I see very clearly.
01:01:16I know you too well, Paul.
01:01:17You're married to a millionaire, so she's crazy about you.
01:01:20You've never had such luck before.
01:01:22I mean, you could...
01:01:23Why should you stick your neck out anymore?
01:01:25You could stop running now.
01:01:27Settle back with a girl who's got a fortune who's crazy about you.
01:01:30Oh, Tony, you don't think that I...
01:01:31Oh, I do think, and you've thought so too.
01:01:33It's written all over your face.
01:01:34Ditch me and stick to her.
01:01:36Tony!
01:01:37You can't ditch me, Paul. I'm your legal wife.
01:01:40I may not have a million, but I certainly have you, and I'm holding on to you.
01:01:43You are going to ruin everything.
01:01:45No, I'm going to settle everything.
01:01:47Tony, where do you think you're going?
01:01:49Tony!
01:01:53Tony, where are you going?
01:01:55You've got to finish off what we agreed.
01:01:57You can't do it, can you? Well, I will.
01:01:59She's out there right now just waiting for one little push.
01:02:01Jenny is about to have one of her blackouts.
01:02:03Tony!
01:02:08Tony!
01:02:26No!
01:02:31No!
01:02:37Tony!
01:02:56You haven't phoned the police.
01:02:58The old man will, or someone's scuttling off.
01:03:01He'll be here any minute.
01:03:07I've tried to spare you this, darling, all along.
01:03:10I've tried to protect you.
01:03:12But he's gone.
01:03:13He's gone.
01:03:14He's gone.
01:03:15He's gone.
01:03:16He's gone.
01:03:17He's gone.
01:03:18He's gone.
01:03:19He's gone.
01:03:20He's gone.
01:03:21He's gone.
01:03:22He's gone.
01:03:23I've tried to protect you.
01:03:25But he...
01:03:26I...
01:03:27That's why I lied to you about my wife.
01:03:30She was dead.
01:03:31She's not dead.
01:03:32She wasn't until a few moments ago.
01:03:35She's insane.
01:03:36Insane.
01:03:37How she ever found us here, I'll just never know.
01:03:40I should have had her committed years ago.
01:03:42She's mad.
01:03:44I mean, she's not mad jealous.
01:03:46She's mad.
01:03:48Oh, when I...
01:03:49When I think of how close she came to destroying you.
01:03:54You...
01:03:55Because...
01:03:56Because you're the only one I've ever loved.
01:03:59And I...
01:04:00I know I should have told you from the start.
01:04:03And this way is a terrible shock, but...
01:04:07You'll get over it.
01:04:09I have love enough for us to get over it.
01:04:12Perhaps it's better this way.
01:04:14An accident.
01:04:16Because it was an accident, wasn't it?
01:04:19I mean, you saw, didn't you?
01:04:21The old man, he...
01:04:22The old man was too far away.
01:04:24He really couldn't see what happened.
01:04:26But you saw it, didn't you?
01:04:27The way I rushed in to protect you.
01:04:29Yes.
01:04:30And you'll tell them?
01:04:35Yes.
01:04:37I'll tell them everything.
01:04:42Jack Hardesty.
01:04:45Everything.
01:04:47No, darling, not Hardesty.
01:04:49No, darling, not Hardesty.
01:04:51No.
01:04:52No, what happened just now on the cliffs,
01:04:53that's all they're going to be interested in.
01:04:55On the cliffs?
01:04:57Yes.
01:04:58Yes, the accident, the way I rushed in to protect you.
01:05:01I don't remember that.
01:05:04Of course you do, it was just a few minutes ago.
01:05:07I remember nothing.
01:05:10What do you mean, you remember nothing?
01:05:13Jenny, I need you.
01:05:16If the old man tells his story without your version,
01:05:18they are going to hang a murder charge around my neck.
01:05:20Nothing.
01:05:25I must have had a blackout.
01:05:31I've been having them lately.
01:05:35Even you've been saying how ill I've been looking.
01:05:40Jenny, darling.
01:05:43Ask my doctor.
01:05:46You'll find I have a history of blackouts.
01:05:54Jenny.
01:05:56Help me.
01:06:01Jenny.
01:06:03Jenny!
01:06:15Jenny!
