00:01:00THE END

00:01:30Leo, are you out here?

00:01:51THE END

00:02:21THE END

00:02:51Oh, Gail, I thought you were out of bed.

00:03:02I thought you had, Leo.

00:03:09Couldn't you sleep?

00:03:11No. My room is cold and damp. Only this hateful fog seems to be at home there.

00:03:18I told you this island was no place for you.

00:03:20My mother lived here.

00:03:22And died here. Violently.

00:03:27She lived here for your sake.

00:03:29Gail, I don't blame you for resenting me.

00:03:32I hadn't realized the name Leo Granger was still headline news.

00:03:38I never imagined that the press would revive the whole dirty mess again.

00:03:43He did.

00:03:43I've had to remain isolated here for a long while.

00:03:49Well, that's no reason for you to stay buried on this forsaken island.

00:03:55Leo, I don't hold you accountable for the position I find myself in.

00:03:58It's just that for the present at least, I too would like to avoid the public.

00:04:06In fact, for a while I'd like not to see anybody.

00:04:08And I'm afraid that won't be possible, Gail.

00:04:12If you insist on remaining here.

00:04:15Why?

00:04:16There are a few people I must see.

00:04:20Some, shall we say, associates.

00:04:24You're going to let them come out here?

00:04:26I'm going to invite them out here.

00:04:28Surely you don't think they'd accept your invitation.

00:04:31But they'd be afraid to.

00:04:33I have an idea that their greed will outweigh their fear.

00:04:36Their greed?

00:04:37Yes.

00:04:39It was their greed that made them invest heavily with me.

00:04:42Because they thought I could make more money for them than anyone else.

00:04:45And when my financial empire crashed, they were the first to cry to swim back.

00:04:50If I can intimate to them, they will have a chance of sharing in that supposed loot.

00:04:56They'll respond to my invitation.

00:05:05What was that?

00:05:06I was just knocking on my pipe, dear.

00:05:08No, I meant that noise outside.

00:05:09It sounded like a branch of a tree.

00:05:14Wind must be coming up.

00:05:15I'll go and see.

00:05:15What is it, Doc?

00:05:34I thought you might put me up, Leo.

00:05:36What do you want it for this time?

00:05:38Oh, merely petty loss.

00:05:40Listen, I had to eat.

00:05:41I couldn't get a job after serving my term with you.

00:05:45The newspapers printed our pictures again.

00:05:47Everybody recognized me.

00:05:48It won't be convenient to keep you here too long.

00:05:51I've invited some of our friends over for the weekend.

00:05:55That crowd that sent us up?

00:05:57How did you know that?

00:05:59You were more confidential as my cellmate than as my employer.

00:06:04You were less of a menace behind prison bars than you were in my accountant's cage.

00:06:07I have the same score to settle with that crowd that you had.

00:06:12I could be of help to you.

00:06:14You might.

00:06:16Let's talk it over.

00:06:18Go to the small door under this balcony.

00:06:20It's open.

00:06:22Wait for me there.

00:06:24Won't be too long.

00:06:25I said wait for me there.

00:06:41Leo, I've been thinking, I believe I've discovered why you failed in business.

00:06:51You surrounded yourself with the wrong people.

00:06:54I didn't surround myself with them.

00:06:55Sylvia Jordan did.

00:06:57How could she?

00:06:58Blackmailed?

00:06:59Practically.

00:07:01As my secretary, she knew a lot about my private affairs, which gave her a certain amount of influence.

00:07:06Then when I married your mother instead of her, Sylvia became vitriolic.

00:07:11She sold me out to her friends, Richfield, Cavanaugh, the whole double-crossing gang that railroaded me.

00:07:18I wouldn't have cared if that stopped at that, but they didn't.

00:07:21One of them, maybe the whole group indirectly, was responsible for the death of your mother.

00:07:27Leo, what are you saying?

00:07:30Oh, the circumstances surrounding the murder of your mother was obviously prearranged.

00:07:36Isn't it logical, Gail, that this group, having put me safely away in prison, should come back here to learn from karma?

00:07:45The whereabouts of the fortune I was supposed to have sorted away?

00:07:50Failing, they struck her down fatally.

00:07:52And they ransacked the place until they were disturbed by the launch returning with the servants.

00:07:58But if any of them did murder Mother, do you think they risk coming back out here?

00:08:03Now, don't forget, they didn't get what they came after.

00:08:11I tell you, they won't accept.

00:08:13Well, let's wait and see.

00:08:15Well, let's wait and see.

00:08:45Well, let's wait and see.

00:09:15I was engrossed casting a horoscope, otherwise I would have known it was you wanting to contact me.

00:09:21You received an invitation?

00:09:24Wait a minute.

00:09:28Let me see.

00:09:30It's from Leo Granger, inviting you to a weekend at Fog Island.

00:09:36Just a minute.

00:09:37Furthermore, I can tell you the date.

00:09:41It's for the 16th.

00:09:44What?

00:09:46Well, of course my powers of divination haven't diminished.

00:09:48What do you make of it, Emily?

00:09:50Well, are you consulting me professionally as an astrologist or socially as a friend?

00:09:55Well, I thought he was a good friend of old standing.

00:09:58In that case, I'd say Leo wanted something.

00:10:01Advice.

00:10:02As you may recall, he never went into any big ventures without first consulting me.

00:10:07Yes.

00:10:08And you never advised him without first asking John Cavanaugh what to tell him.

00:10:13Cavanaugh was very generous with me when I influenced Leo's transactions.

00:10:16Yes.

00:10:18And your influence paid you well.

00:10:19However, I'm curious to know what you think Leo's up to.

00:10:23Well, I, for one, am going out to Fog Island to find out.

00:10:26And you?

00:10:28I don't know yet.

00:10:29I haven't decided.

00:10:31Nevertheless, I'll probably see you out there amongst the others.

00:10:35And just who would the others be?

00:10:38Why, our own little crowd, of course.

00:10:40John Cavanaugh, Sylvia Jordan, and...

00:10:43Yes, that's right.

00:10:47What is Leo Granger to say, John?

00:10:52How do you know this is from Leo Granger?

00:10:54This is private secretary for years.

00:10:56I might at least be expected to recognize his handwriting, don't you think?

00:10:59Oh, of course.

00:11:00Have you read between the lines?

00:11:03That what?

00:11:04That I might see justice done.

00:11:07Well?

00:11:08Doesn't it occur to you that Leo may have found out how you played up to karma while he was out of the way?

00:11:12I didn't.

00:11:13I always liked karma.

00:11:14There was no point in avoiding her just because he got into trouble.

00:11:17And there was no point, I suppose, in your chartering that boat all by yourself just to call on her at Fog Island.

00:11:23Who said I chartered the boat?

00:11:25The man who owned it.

00:11:26He also admitted taking a veiled woman out to the island, alone.

00:11:30I never wear veils.

00:11:31Besides, why should I want to see karma?

00:11:33You got information.

00:11:35That needn't exclude you in Leo's mind as one of Alex Henchman's.

00:11:38How do you know that?

00:11:39I know Leo Granger.

00:11:40I know the way his mind works.

00:11:42He's a very suspicious and vindictive man.

00:11:45How about Kingsley?

00:11:46Emmeline Bronson?

00:11:47Yes, even you.

00:11:48Don't forget the damaging effect your testimonies his private secretary had on the case.

00:11:52I'm not forgetting her.

00:11:54Nevertheless, I don't expect Leo ever to forgive me.

00:11:56Leo Granger will never forgive any one of us.

00:11:58Five years in the penitentiary can do a lot to a man.

00:12:03Not to Leo Granger.

00:12:05You get one of these?

00:12:08The same?

00:12:09Identically.

00:12:10And I dare say there's a half a dozen others floating around amongst our erstwhile associates.

00:12:14Should you go?

00:12:15I think so.

00:12:17You're not afraid?

00:12:19Are you?

00:12:20Well, not exactly afraid, but, uh...

00:12:23But what?

00:12:24Maybe intrigued.

00:12:26After all, he got away with quite a fortune.

00:12:28If he's going to pay off, I want to be there.

00:12:30That's what I thought.

00:12:32And if you go, I'll go.

00:12:34And if we go, the others will go.

00:12:37Well, they...

00:12:39There's safety in numbers.

00:12:58There's going to be a lot if we go.

00:13:14You've got to be there.

00:22:37Cleo, what is this key?

00:23:04Perhaps it's the key to your happiness, my dear.

00:23:07Oh, Kingsley, that is a superstition that the gift of a knife will cut friendship.

00:23:11I'm not superstitious, are you?

00:23:15Not with this in my hand, I'm not.

00:23:17I think I retire.

00:23:19I have been used to very early hours these last few years.

00:23:33Gail, I think our guests will enjoy a little music if you feel so disposed.

00:23:38Anything special you would like?

00:23:40No, anything you like.

00:23:42Preferably something favoring the woodwinds.

00:23:45Why, the woodwinds, Leo?

00:23:47I don't know, dear.

00:23:47There's something very plaintive about the music of oboes, flutes, clarinets.

00:23:52And something very enticing.

00:23:58Mind if I join you?

00:23:59And if I did?

00:24:01I'd join you anyway.

00:24:02You tried that before.

00:24:04And miss?

00:24:05And this time?

00:24:06And your guest, remember?

00:24:08Not mine.

00:24:09Leo Granger.

00:24:10Do you mind telling me what this is all about?

00:24:34What what is all about?

00:24:36It's party or whatever it is.

00:24:37Don't you know?

00:24:39No.

00:24:40And why did you come?

00:24:42I had my reasons.

00:24:43I'm sure of that.

00:24:45Good reasons.

00:24:46From your point of view?

00:24:48All of which means you're not going to tell me.

00:24:51That's right.

00:24:52Which also means you don't trust me.

00:24:55Right.

00:25:10odd favors, Leo, give.

00:25:22Or do you understand yours?

00:25:24Yours, Dr. Lake?

00:25:25I suspect Leo wants to keep track of you.

00:25:28Mine is really quite simple.

00:25:30Leo always said my pencils weren't practical.

00:25:33The eraser, of course, is one of Leo's little innuendo.

00:25:35I have a feeling Leo is not in his right mind.

00:25:39Have you felt that?

00:25:41You understand, I hope, that I've never actually practiced the profession of medicine.

00:25:47Nevertheless, that doesn't prevent you from hazarding a personal opinion.

00:25:50Well, not necessarily.

00:25:53But as a student of the occult, perhaps you could hazard an opinion.

00:25:58The sign, Pisces.

00:25:59Of course you know what his sign is the case.

00:26:01Two fishes swimming in opposite direction and with Jupiter in the ascendant.

00:26:05I should not like to predict what would happen.

00:26:08His health, never too sturdy, hasn't been aided by prolonged inactivity.

00:26:16I shouldn't like to hazard an opinion either.

00:26:18You know, Doctor, I think you and I have something in common.

00:26:22Oh, what's that, may I ask?

00:26:26We've both been in Leo's confidence.

00:26:28I, from an astral point of view, have been in his spiritual confidence.

00:26:30And, uh, you, from a business point of view, have been in his financial confidence.

00:26:35Oh.

00:26:36So?

00:26:38Possibly by pooling our information,

00:26:40we might work more or less together to our mutual advantage.

00:26:45I have a review to deserve that.

00:27:00What's the matter?

00:27:17In there.

00:27:21John, do you know any way we can get off this island?

00:27:23There isn't any way.

00:27:24I asked the butler.

00:27:25Why?

00:27:26I'm afraid.

00:27:27Of what?

00:27:28I don't know.

00:27:30But this to Leo always suggests a death.

00:27:34What to Leo my sister says?

00:27:36What is it?

00:27:36Multiplication tables.

00:27:37Two times two and so on.

00:27:39It might be one of Leo's subtle warnings.

00:27:42Insinuating you not to attempt any more juggling his figures to your own satisfaction.

00:27:45But I've got a feeling it goes deeper than that table skulls.

00:27:54Where'd Alec get?

00:27:56Oh, I didn't see.

00:27:57He stuffed it in his pocket too fast.

00:28:00Alec knows something.

00:28:05I wonder what that key is to.

00:28:08What key?

00:28:10One Gale got.

00:28:11Why don't you find out?

00:28:13I will when I get a chance.

00:28:14Watch out for young Kingsley.

00:28:15I don't trust him.

00:28:17Suppose you watch out for young Kingsley.

00:28:19I will.

00:28:23I didn't know you played so well.

00:28:25Didn't you?

00:28:30You know, there was a time I thought I knew pretty much about you.

00:28:34Did you?

00:28:36Remember the long walks in the rain?

00:28:39Horseback rides?

00:28:40Tennis?

00:28:40The time you beat me six to three.

00:28:44The funny things you used to like.

00:28:45You're craving for red.

00:28:47Chocolate sundae.

00:28:48Opal.

00:28:51They weren't your birthstones, were they?

00:28:53No, I thought not.

00:28:54They were always bringing you hard luck.

00:28:56Like the time we were going to the symphony together and you had on your new high-heeled red

00:29:00slippers.

00:29:02Your heel got caught in a grating.

00:29:05You know, it's a shame I couldn't get those nails to stay in.

00:29:07We went down the aisle together.

00:29:10You don't know how much trouble I had getting those tickets right in the third row just to

00:29:14show you off.

00:29:16Oh, I've still heel, by the way, but I don't suppose you have any use for it, would you?

00:29:20I haven't any use for any heel.

00:29:24No, I thought not.

00:29:26But will you ever forget our picnic down by the roof of the bank?

00:29:29That great field of daisies behind us.

00:29:31The weeping willows.

00:29:34Remember how ecstatic you were about the weeping willows?

00:29:36You know, you haven't done what Leo asked you to.

00:29:42You mean the woodwind?

00:29:43Yes.

00:29:44Have you forgotten?

00:29:45No.

00:29:56I see.

00:30:02You aren't going to let me in on it, will you?

00:30:05In on what?

00:30:06Well, that.

00:30:14No.

00:30:16Why not?

00:30:18Well, you find out if you think it's important.

00:30:22Gail, is anything important to you?

00:30:26Yes.

00:30:27Solitude.

00:30:28Solitude.

00:30:36Go ahead.

00:30:37Go ahead.

00:30:42it seems for the look into the future what do you say you want me to cast horoscope

00:31:12Oh, no, nothing so individual.

00:31:14I meant something you would let it all in, like, you know, a seance.

00:31:18Oh, a seance.

00:31:20Well, if you're all in accord, why don't you gather around the desk?

00:31:23Good.

00:31:42We're ready for you, Emily.

00:32:03Of course, Emily, you'll want the lights out.

00:32:06It would be better, of course.

00:32:07I'll tend to that.

00:32:12I'll tend to that.

00:32:42I see you with a burden on yourself.

00:33:09A heavy burden.

00:33:13So heavy it may submerge you.

00:33:15I don't know why it is, but I feel as if water was coming up over me.

00:33:23I feel the sensation of drowning.

00:33:28Stop it, stop it.

00:33:29I don't want to hear any more.

00:33:30Very well, then.

00:33:31It's strange, but I can't seem to reach you.

00:33:47You seem to bar the way.

00:33:49You seem to bar the way.

00:33:50No.

00:33:53Bar the way.

00:33:54It will skip me for the moment.

00:33:59And for yourself, what do you see?

00:34:02Myself?

00:34:03Well, it's very difficult to see for myself.

00:34:07But I feel about to be elevated.

00:34:10Oh, stop it, stop it!

00:34:17Oh!

00:34:18Somebody turn on the lights.

00:34:20I will.

00:34:26Need trick, sir.

00:34:28Mind telling me how you did it?

00:34:29It was no trick.

00:34:31It was no trick.

00:34:32It was no trick.

00:34:35It was no trick.

00:34:59Where are you going?

00:35:15I have an idea.

00:35:16What about?

00:35:18Gail's key.

00:35:20Oh.

00:35:29Seance over already, Emily?

00:35:39Yes, Alec.

00:35:39I'm rather tired tonight.

00:35:41Why don't you turn in?

00:35:42I think I will.

00:35:44I wonder if you'd get me a book, Alec.

00:35:47I'm tired, but not sleeping.

00:35:49I thought perhaps you might pick out something from Leo's shelf over there.

00:35:55Don't you think you'd better select your own reading material, Emily?

00:35:58You have such a good mind.

00:36:00Oh.

00:36:02Cut, cut.

00:36:08Would you be looking for any book in particular, Alec?

00:36:12Oh, Emily?

00:36:13Something light, of course.

00:36:19Oh, yeah.

00:36:21How about this?

00:36:22What is it?

00:36:24Crime and punishment.

00:36:28Ideal.

00:36:29Thank you, Alec.

00:36:38Say, it's getting late.

00:36:39Time we're all turning in.

00:36:40How about it, John?

00:36:42Ready to call the night?

00:36:43We are.

00:36:44I might as well.

00:36:47Ready, Emily?

00:36:47I'm going to come.

00:37:11Ready, Emily?

00:37:14Ready, Emily?

00:37:15I'm going to come.

00:37:15Okay.

00:37:16Bye.

00:37:16Bye-bye.

00:37:16Bye.

00:37:17What are you doing out here?

00:37:21I might ask you the same question.

00:37:24Catch cold in this fog.

00:37:27The air's warm.

00:37:29Mind telling me what you're running away from?

00:37:31Am I running away?

00:37:33Of course.

00:37:34First from all your friends, by coming after this desolate spot to live,

00:37:38and now from everyone inside.

00:37:41What right have you to pry into my private affairs?

00:37:44Maybe I like you.

00:37:45You have a very peculiar way of showing you.

00:37:48I'm a very peculiar person.

00:37:51Maybe I like you more than you realize.

00:37:54Really?

00:37:55I realize you're just a little girl in a lot of trouble.

00:37:59What trouble?

00:38:00That I mean to find out.

00:38:02Is that all you mean, find out?

00:38:04No, but I do for a starter.

00:38:07And after that?

00:38:09Gayle, have I ever done anything to make you mistrust me?

00:38:13You came out here with the others, didn't you?

00:38:15Obviously.

00:38:16Why?

00:38:17To see you.

00:38:20I don't believe you.

00:38:22Gayle, why don't you break down and be yourself?

00:38:26Why don't you let me help you?

00:38:28There's only one way you can help me, and that is to leave me alone.

00:38:31Now look here, young lady.

00:38:33Don't try my patience too far.

00:38:35You might as well know once and for all, I have no intention of leaving you alone.

00:38:39Very well, then.

00:38:40I'll leave you alone.

00:38:41I'll leave you alone.

00:39:11Oh, I came in to borrow some cleansing cream.

00:39:18Why, of course.

00:39:25I'm not robbing you, am I?

00:39:27No, I seldom use it.

00:39:29Oh, but you should.

00:39:29Nightly, my dear.

00:39:31Too much bother.

00:39:32Nothing should be too much bother to protect your skin.

00:39:35In this climate, one doesn't need to take the trouble.

00:39:38If you don't take the trouble to preserve your skin now while it's healthy,

00:39:41you'll regret it.

00:39:43I'll chance that.

00:39:44Already it shows the signs of neglect.

00:39:48Ma?

00:39:52What an interesting room.

00:39:54His mother didn't decorate it.

00:39:56These things were here when Leo bought the place.

00:39:58Leo bought it?

00:39:59I thought Karma bought it for him.

00:40:01Leo bought it in car.

00:40:11Al Lutton?

00:40:30Yes, sir.

00:40:31Just tidying up a bit, sir.

00:40:34As a butler?

00:40:34Or as an escape lifer, Al Jenks?

00:40:38That's a lie.

00:40:39What?

00:40:39That you're an escape lifer?

00:40:41I reacted a bit foamy as a butler when Granger wasn't around.

00:40:45I made some pretty wise contacts in the big house.

00:40:48Contacts that could find out a lot of things.

00:40:51I wrote a few letters.

00:40:53I had some answers.

00:40:54Came over with the mail for the guests tonight.

00:40:58Like this one.

00:40:59Hello, Doc.

00:41:00It's Cook.

00:41:02The eel you described with the scar across his left palm.

00:41:06Suddenly, Al Jenks.

00:41:11The lifer who crashed out of here about a month ago.

00:41:14I thought you ought to know because...

00:41:23Oh!

00:41:27Oh!

00:41:35Enjoying yourself, Doc?

00:41:37Yes.

00:41:38I was just looking for you, Leo.

00:41:42Indeed.

00:41:43The asks seem a bit ill at ease.

00:41:46That's pretty.

00:41:47I've given them the run of the house.

00:41:48What more could they have me do?

00:41:50Give them enough rope.

00:41:51Eh, Leo?

00:41:52Something like that.

00:41:54They're all wondering what you've got up your sleeve.

00:41:57Including you, Doc.

00:41:59Have you forgotten, Leo?

00:42:00I know what you've got in mind for them.

00:42:03Have you forgotten that time in stir

00:42:06when I showed you how they framed the two of us

00:42:08and you blew your top?

00:42:10And that day when you learned your wife had been murdered.

00:42:14The day you really went stir crazy.

00:42:18Have you forgotten what you said to me that day?

00:42:20Under the circumstances, no one could hold me accountable for what I said.

00:42:25Couldn't they?

00:42:26And especially if what you said came to pass.

00:42:30What did I say, Doc?

00:42:31Plenty.

00:42:33And if it took your last dollar.

00:42:35That's just exactly what it did.

00:42:38What, take your last dollar?

00:42:40Oh, that's a good one.

00:42:42That's a fact.

00:42:44However, if you prefer to believe or do,

00:42:46that I have a fortune buried here,

00:42:48I can't prevent you.

00:42:51But you said you were looking for me.

00:42:52What for?

00:42:53I thought you might like to know what your guests are doing.

00:42:56I know pretty well what they're doing.

00:43:01After all, there was nothing I could ever tell Karma that was encouraging.

00:43:05All I saw for her was trouble and worry and her tragic end.

00:43:10You ever saw that?

00:43:11Oh, yes, quite clearly.

00:43:13And in detail.

00:43:15I saw her choking her into insensibility.

00:43:17That's a lie.

00:43:19It is?

00:43:20How do you know?

00:43:22She wasn't choked to death.

00:43:23She was stabbed with an eye.

00:43:25Perhaps you know for certain that she wasn't first strangled into unconsciousness.

00:43:28You're making the whole thing up to give the impression you're clairvoyant.

00:43:32Unless you had something to do with her murder.

00:43:34I had less to do with her murder than you had.

00:43:36Why, you fraud, if you dare to...

00:43:38Come in.

00:43:44Perhaps you ladies don't realize it,

00:43:45but your voice is ca-

00:43:46when you get excited.

00:43:47Thank you for stopping us, Alex.

00:43:48And you're keeping this young lady from her rest.

00:43:50You're very considerate, Mr. Richfield.

00:43:55I really would like to go to bed.

00:43:57Of course.

00:43:58I merely thought I might...

00:43:59Come along, Alex.

00:44:00It was your idea to leave Gail alone.

00:45:39I've always been very interested in pipes. Do you mind if I have a look at yours?

00:45:42Certainly.

00:45:46I must have left it in my room.

00:45:48Carelessly.

00:45:49Have a cigar.

00:45:52Thanks.

00:45:52Light.

00:46:03Thanks.

00:46:12You're not smoking?

00:46:14Not at the moment.

00:46:15Uh-huh.

00:46:18Very good cigar.

00:46:19As you should know, Alec, I saw the thought of my comforts, even managed to get a few where you sent me.

00:46:27You're forgetting that having arranged your defense, we got you up with five years instead of 25.

00:46:32Five years was long enough for you to accomplish your purpose, Alec.

00:46:36Five years, the receiver for Granger Incorporated gave you ample time to liquidate my enterprises for your own advantage.

00:46:43By the time you got through milking your enterprises, there was nothing left to liquidate.

00:46:49So you came over here to the island to see what you could get out of karma.

00:46:53I advise you to be careful of your accusations, Leo.

00:46:55They are not fooling anybody now, Alec.

00:46:57There's no jury here, no judge, nor will there be any witnesses.

00:47:01Does that constitute a threat, Alec?

00:47:02Take it for what it's worth, Alec.

00:47:04I might have let you off had you been content merely with getting me out of the way for a while.

00:47:08But that you put karma out of the way permanently for that, Alec.

00:47:12Keep away, Leo.

00:47:12You can't escape, Alec.

00:47:14Oh, can't I?

00:47:17So it was you who murdered karma.

00:47:20I thought so.

00:47:22I suspected you all along, but I wanted proof.

00:47:25I've got that proof now, Alec.

00:47:28Obviously, that was the way you struck her down.

00:47:31A sudden fuss in the dark without warning, without giving her the slightest opportunity of defending herself.

00:47:37You very stupidly used the same technique, the same knife, no doubt.

00:47:42So you see now, Alec, that you're not as clever as you thought you were.

00:47:46You see now, don't you, that you played right into my hands.

00:47:50You see now, Alec.

00:47:52You convicted yourself, Alec.

00:47:54You've sealed your own doom.

00:48:00You've signed your own death.

00:48:01I don't know if it was...

00:48:02I don't know if...

00:48:02I don't know if you thought it was going to be a suisse.

00:53:07Share and share alike.

00:53:10I'll handle the key.

00:53:13As you wish.

00:53:15Follow me.

00:54:07As soon as you have the key, the privilege is yours, my dear Emily.

00:57:41Don't you think you ought to take a look and see if he got away with anything?

00:57:44I have looked.

00:57:46I don't know how to operate it.

00:57:48Let me try.

00:58:11Let me try.

00:58:41I did it myself before dinner.

00:58:42You don't think I trust you around me with a load of guns, do you?

00:58:45You idiot!

00:58:47How did you know I wasn't going to give you his hat?

00:58:49Oh, I know you, John.

00:58:53Scout, the clue Leo gave me.

00:58:55You're right, Alec.

00:58:56What we're looking for must be hidden in here.

00:58:58The table?

00:58:59The clue that Leo gave me?

00:59:00This slab here, um...

00:59:01Yes.

00:59:02John, give me a hand in this paper.

00:59:08Now.

00:59:09Oh, wait a minute.

00:59:11Let's have it understood now.

00:59:12We share it three ways.

00:59:14Let's make it four ways.

00:59:19Just for the sake of sociability.

00:59:21Well, it makes you imagine you and Jai will do anything.

00:59:24I know where the bodies are buried.

00:59:28All right.

00:59:29It's understood then.

00:59:30It's been four ways.

00:59:31Now, give me a hand.

00:59:32Look at the box.

00:59:40Wait.

00:59:46Stop.

00:59:47Here, the jail documents are not open.

00:59:49You don't have a sense to get it.

00:59:50Give it to me.

00:59:51I like it.

00:59:51Well, what is it?

01:07:52Oh, but I'll have to find Leo and tell him I'm going.

01:07:55He isn't in his room.

01:07:56I found Leo.

01:07:58He has no objection to your going.

01:08:01Oh, but don't you think we ought to find out if any of the others want to come with us?

01:08:07Not this trip.

01:08:17That's what you need, Gail, Sun.

01:08:19More than anything else.

01:08:21Unless it's me.

01:08:23I'll settle for both, Jeff.

01:08:28The end.
