00:42:05um have you um ever been in trouble with the police before arthur no oh that's funny they don't usually

00:42:12get

00:42:12things wrong that was ten years ago yes yes yes that's right well as a matter of fact slightly more

00:42:18than ten now let's see uh assault on a young girl bodily harm too in fact you'd done that it

00:42:24killed it

00:42:25didn't you yeah so you see you have been in trouble before why didn't it come to trial

00:42:31she dropped the charges and refused to give evidence oh convenient well that's typical woman

00:42:38eh changeable hey arthur never trusted woman eh what happened arthur tell me what happened i'd like to know

00:42:55it was late i'd been drinking

00:42:59i just saw her by the side of the road and i stopped to give her a lift what no

00:43:03no no not

00:43:04that one i've got all the dirty details on that one no jane howard i never told you i never

00:43:09saw her

00:43:12oh come on we can do better than that can't we hey here i'll tell you what i'll tell you

00:43:17what i'll

00:43:17theorize for a bit shall i lead you up the little crooked path now let's see um you showed her

00:43:22to a

00:43:22room hey and fancied her didn't you arthur so then what you uh you went away and you had a

00:43:30drink perhaps

00:43:30hmm yes yes i think you would have a drink a drink and i think about her and then another

00:43:37drink and

00:43:39another drink and then back up the stairs to her room it'll be late now wouldn't it after midnight

00:43:44hmm and she doesn't know what you want at first but then she does and then she screams oh

00:43:49and that panics you she screams and then what no no what did you do to stop her screaming

00:44:01she's dead i know she's dead it was different this time wasn't it you killed her this time

00:44:08because dead women can't drop charges or make them she was never here never here bet that sobered you

00:44:13up because you had to get rid of the body didn't you but not far there wouldn't be time to

00:44:16take it

00:44:17far just tell me where you put the body it would save us such a lot of time and trouble

00:44:21if you just

00:44:22tell me where you put the body i never never saw jane howard oh arthur arthur

00:44:34you want a lawyer arthur whatever for there's been no charge mate i mean call a lawyer by all means

00:44:39but all that we can tell him is you have been assisting us with our inquiries

00:44:46we'll chat again later eh no charge well there'll be no crime proved has it all just hearsay and

00:44:58circumstantial find the body then i can pin something on him a mile radius to begin with

00:45:03and then extend all the help every man you can get

00:45:08and then extend all the help every man you can do it don't worry she'll not be far

00:45:14so

00:45:41Oh, my God.

00:45:49Where'd you find him?

00:45:51The road down by the river.

00:45:52I told them.

00:45:53They're searching that immediate area now.

00:45:58Why did you run away, Arthur?

00:46:00Hmm?

00:46:02Oh, Arthur, did you tire of my company?

00:46:04I wasn't running.

00:46:06I just wanted to get away, that's all.

00:46:08Run away, get away.

00:46:09What's the difference?

00:46:10I wanted to be alone.

00:46:12Like Garbo.

00:46:13To think.

00:46:14Get your story straight, eh?

00:46:16I expect you've a lot to think about.

00:46:19Just offering you a drink, Arthur.

00:46:21You look as though you could do with one.

00:46:23No, need to keep a clear head, eh?

00:46:25Where did you go, Arthur?

00:46:28Oh, I just walked.

00:46:30Walked.

00:46:31Find you right the river.

00:46:33What'd you go there for, Arthur?

00:46:51There was a scream last night, just after midnight, and then you silenced her, eh?

00:46:57Eh?

00:46:57I never saw her.

00:46:59She was never here.

00:47:01That girl is lying.

00:47:02But it's not just her anymore.

00:47:06Hey, you mind if I had a blackout?

00:47:08Ever think of that?

00:47:09Now, that would sound well at the trial, wouldn't it, eh?

00:47:11A blackout?

00:47:12A mental aberration?

00:47:13She was here.

00:47:14You did it.

00:47:15But your mind has blotted it out.

00:47:17Blackout?

00:47:18Ha, ha, ha.

00:47:19That sparked your interest, giving you something to hold on to.

00:47:22Well, all right, we'll play it that way.

00:47:25You don't remember, hmm?

00:47:27After all, after all, you've been drinking.

00:47:30Yes, I had been drinking, yes.

00:47:33But I would remember her.

00:47:38Yes, son, please.

00:47:42Right.

00:47:44I shall be leaving you now for a little while, Arthur.

00:47:46But you won't run away again, will you?

00:47:48No, I know you won't.

00:48:28No, I know you won't.

00:48:34There's no violence in him until he drinks.

00:48:37No badness, it's just the drinking.

00:49:19Well, there's nothing I can get for you.

00:49:21No.

00:49:23But thank you.

00:49:59No.

00:50:01No, no, no.

00:50:04No, no.

00:50:04Tell them the truth.

00:50:05No.

00:50:05No, no, no.

00:50:08Yes.

00:50:09No, no, no.

00:50:09Yes, yes, yes.

00:50:10No, no, no.

00:50:12No, no.

00:50:13Don't stop me.

00:50:15Don't stop me.

00:50:16Don't.

00:50:18Die.

00:50:22Oh, my God.

00:50:51well lucky you were around. I don't like to lose a key witness. makes things

00:50:55untidy. I suppose that amounts to a confession. oh thanks. well I keep

00:51:01forgetting I've given up. confession it depends exactly what he said. we just said

00:51:06a lot of mad things. but not I killed her. perhaps I was just too busy getting that

00:51:11razor away from him. yeah but he was going to attack Miss Moore. oh yeah look

00:51:15like it. yeah that's nice. that helps. his wife may say different. oh wives. their

00:51:24evidence is always tinged with prejudice in the eyes of a jury. you're not married

00:51:29mr. Eastman? no. no I thought not. neither am I.

00:51:45it's funny. you've not asked when you'll be able to see him. they usually do ask.

00:51:57Alice.

00:52:03Alice sir. I'll be moving on. they have my address when. if I'm needed.

00:52:08Alice. you've got it too.

00:52:51Alice. yes.

00:52:54Alice.

00:52:57Alice.

00:52:58Alice.

00:53:00Alice.

00:53:01Alice.

00:53:04Alice.

00:53:07Alice.

00:53:08It worked, Cathy. It worked perfectly.

00:53:26Yes. I knew it would. Right from the start.

00:53:40I'm sorry.

00:53:52Was I frightened? I mean really frightened.

00:53:57Another second. Lucky for me you were around, Paul.

00:54:02It is Paul, isn't it? That's right.

00:54:04This is Cathy, and I'm Jane.

00:54:07Dinner's on me tonight to pay you back.

00:54:10After all, I owe you my life.

00:54:12You're already paying me back, giving me this lift.

00:54:16Do you travel around a lot?

00:54:18All the time. I have a little money, very little.

00:54:21Not enough to run a car on, but I get around, see places.

00:54:25It's better than working.

00:54:27Yes. Anything's better than working.

00:54:32Yes. Anything's better than working.

00:55:03You wanted her to die.

00:55:08You weren't going to make a move to help her.

00:55:11It would have been the same as murder.

00:55:18Yes.

00:55:33If she has the money, if she dies, it comes to me.

00:55:41That's a good reason.

00:55:43A very good reason.

00:55:49Is it a lot of money?

00:55:55It would be a good reason.

00:56:20You guys are the only two worthy things.

00:56:20We'll never be back for dinner at this rate.

00:56:37Forget it.

00:56:39What you're thinking, forget it.

00:56:41They'd nail you straight away. You're just too much motive.

00:56:46Besides, I've got a better idea.

00:56:49All that money, Cathy,

00:56:52there'd be enough to share, won't there?

00:56:56Tell me.

00:56:58Someone with more reason to kill her.

00:57:00Someone with a better motive.

00:57:05You mean hanging on somebody else?

00:57:07Not necessarily.

00:57:09Just enough to cast doubts, muddy up the issue,

00:57:13and lead them away from you.

00:57:17And I suppose you know someone like that.

00:57:39And just how is it that you learn so much about him?

00:57:43His wife told me.

00:57:45It was during a weak moment.

00:57:54Oh, I see.

00:57:55Well, I've been doing some thinking of my own.

00:57:59And I've come up with an idea.

00:58:01It's a wild, crazy idea.

00:58:05And it'll need very careful time.

00:58:09Like a moment when he's alone at the desk.

00:58:13Is it possible?

00:58:14It's possible.

00:58:16Good.

00:58:17Then it'll work.

00:58:20Now all you have to do is scout around

00:58:23and find a place where we can do it.

00:58:44Jane, are you ready?

00:58:52Paul's coming with us.

00:58:54He knows a great spot for a picnic.

00:59:19Good.

00:59:31Hello, May not wow.

00:59:33Oh

00:59:34Oh, my God.

00:59:44You and Laura believe me.
