House By The River 1950
Transcript
00:00:00This video is brought to you by the National Anthem.
00:02:31Back and forth.
00:02:32Back and forth.
00:02:33Oh, I tell you, I hate this river.
00:02:35It's people who should be blamed for the filth, not the river.
00:02:40The mail just arrived, Mr. Byrne.
00:02:42Oh, put it on the table, please.
00:02:49Hmm.
00:02:50Looks like a manuscript.
00:02:52My manuscripts are like the tide out there.
00:02:55They always come back.
00:02:57Maybe they wouldn't if you took my advice.
00:03:00Spice them up.
00:03:01Make them racy.
00:03:02That's what the public wants.
00:03:04Oh.
00:03:09What is it, Emily?
00:03:10Well, it's just that it's getting awfully late, Mr. Byrne, and the plumber hasn't arrived to fix the downstairs tub.
00:03:15Well, if he hasn't come by now, he probably isn't coming at all today.
00:03:18Use the upstairs one, if you like.
00:03:20Oh, thank you, sir.
00:03:22How does your wife like the new maid, Stephen?
00:03:33Uh, what?
00:03:34Oh, uh, very well, I think.
00:03:36Good.
00:03:37Oh, where is Marjorie, by the way?
00:03:39I haven't seen her all day.
00:03:40She's spending the day with the Lawlers in the country.
00:03:42Oh, that's nice.
00:03:43Did she say when she'd be back?
00:03:44Only in time to dress for Miss Whittaker's party.
00:03:45Oh, good heavens.
00:03:46Why, I'd better go and finish my gardening, so that I can start to get ready.
00:03:50I've still millions of things to do out here.
00:04:20but still look, I'm getting the beaches here,
00:04:25huh?
00:04:26By the way.
00:04:27Maybe maybe I won't get granted.
00:04:29Or, there's a ll obsess about I can.
00:04:31Yur fascinating.
00:04:32Why not?
00:04:33Why, do you get these in the ranks?
00:04:35It's like you're being my little lover.
00:04:37I've been some kind of growth,
00:04:39and I've still got PayPal presents in the course.
00:04:44Well, before my day, I'll enjoy it.
00:04:47I...!
00:04:48Oh, my God.
00:05:18Oh, my God.

00:09:56Oh, my God.
00:09:58Oh, my God.
00:10:00Oh, my God.
00:10:02Stop it. Do you want the whole neighborhood to hear you?
00:10:05Pull yourself together and I'll let you go.
00:10:17Buddy, go!
00:10:32That's better. All we needed was to have that old Gotham hear us.
00:10:50Emily! Emily! Emily!
00:10:55Emily! Emily!
00:11:02Let's go.
00:11:05Let's go.
00:11:32Let's go.
00:11:40Go!
00:12:46I'm having it to you.
00:12:47What's happened?
00:12:48Well, there's been an accident.
00:12:49Marjorie?
00:12:50No.
00:12:51The new maid, Emily.
00:12:52She fell.
00:12:54Look at...
00:12:55No, I...
00:12:56Stephen, what's the matter with you?
00:13:01Have you sent for a doctor?
00:13:02No, there's nothing anybody can do.
00:13:03She fell down the stairs.
00:13:04She hit her head.
00:13:05They'll blame me.
00:13:06Well, why should anybody blame you?
00:13:09Well...
00:13:10Because I was playing the fool pretending I was going to kiss her.
00:13:13She got frightened and something happened.
00:13:15I don't know what exactly, but of course they'll blame me.
00:13:17Stephen, stop it.
00:13:18Let me look at her.
00:13:20I saw her.
00:13:21She didn't fall.
00:13:22She did.
00:13:23I saw her.
00:13:24She was strangled.

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

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