00:14Dr. Newsom, you're standing trial in the murder of your wife, Lucinda Helmsworthy Newsom.
00:19You've entered a plea of not guilty. Will you be acting in your own defense?
00:23Yes, Your Honor, I am confident that this is but a teensy misunderstanding, a sous-son of confusion, if you
00:34like.
00:34The truth will come presently to light, and we'll all be home by lunchtime.
00:39Very well. The Crown may proceed with its case.
00:42Why aren't you representing him?
00:44He's issued representation.
00:45Oh, bless him.
00:47He refused.
00:49Why not just say that, then? You always have to be so high and mighty.
00:52The Crown calls Dr. Rupert Newsom.
00:55Dr. Newsom, you are not compelled to testify in your own trial.
00:59Oh, for sure. All the quicker to set the record straight.
01:09Oh, I promised to tell the truth, so help me God, and all that other business.
01:17Dr. Newsom, please inform the court what you were doing in the hours that led up to Mrs. Helmsworthy Newsom's
01:23death.
01:24Ah, yes, but we were celebrating Ruthie and Henry's anniversary.
01:29Uh, Lucy was in one of her moods, but the food, the food was divine.
01:51What took so long?
01:58Oh, oh, oh, Paki, look at my new walking stick, both the eyes are real rubies.
02:10You wouldn't believe the price.
02:13Magnificent thing.
02:14If you're not careful, I'll steal it from you.
02:17Naughty.
02:19Whatever have you done to your moustaches, Nelson?
02:21Leave him be.
02:22Don't you?
02:22The times have changed since you've been in prison, Bernie.
02:26This style is all the rage now.
02:28It looks as though your lip has grown an eyebrow.
02:37That's how he laughs.
02:39Gentlemen of the jury, picture me with thin moustaches.
02:43I look to marvel.
02:46Dr. Newsom, what were you doing after the party?
02:50Oh, right.
02:52Um, everyone went home round nine.
02:55I took a brandy by the fire.
02:58Lucinda had gone upstairs to prepare for bed.
03:01And then I heard the most terrible sound.
03:05No!
03:14You killed my sister!
03:17No, I didn't.
03:18Order.
03:18I didn't.
03:19Court officers, please.
03:20Remove Mr. Hemsworthy.
03:22Ah, I'm sorry.
03:22You'll hang for this, Newsom.
03:24Get your soiled hands off by a free man.
03:27You'll hang for this!
03:29Dr. Newsom, if we can return to your account of the night in question, you were alone in the house
03:35when your wife died.
03:37Yes.
03:38After the last of the guests departed at nine o'clock, no one else was in the house?
03:44Uh, no, no one.
03:48The Crown submits these photographs taken the afternoon before the murder.
03:55This is you, Dr. Newsom, posing with your walking stick?
04:00Yes.
04:00And, uh, gentlemen, note the thin moustaches.
04:04And where's that walking stick now?
04:06Well, I haven't any idea.
04:08I left it in the hallway that evening, but then I was arrested, and, well, clearly I haven't seen it
04:15since.
04:17The Crown submits further photographs taken post-mortem.
04:22They show the lacerations on Mrs. Helmsworthy Newsom's head.
04:27I can't bear to look at those.
04:29Forensic experts would testify that, though her neck was broken in the fall, these lacerations were suffered prior.
04:38Inflicted by blows from a weapon in the upstairs hallway.
04:42That's where the attack began.
04:45Driving Miss Helmsworthy Newsom towards the staircase where, fleeing her attacker, she fell to her death.
04:54Can you explain these lacerations, Dr. Newsom?
04:59Can you explain the blood splatters in the hallway?
05:06No.
05:08You cannot.
05:11Nor can you explain the fact that the murder weapon left behind a piece of evidence caught in the victim's
05:19hair.
05:21A ruby.
05:23No.
05:24A perfect match from Dr. Newsom's missing walking stick.
05:52I'm doomed, aren't I?
05:54Effie, you have to help me.
05:58I'm sorry.
05:59You've elected to represent yourself.
06:01You're meant to be using the law library to build your defense.
06:04I don't know what I'm doing.
06:07Well, if I were your lawyer, I would advise you to change your plea.
06:10But I'm innocent.
06:12You know that, don't you?
06:14You think I did it!
06:16Shh.
06:18I'm sorry.
06:20Rupert.
06:21Can you explain the blood in the hallway?
06:25The ruby from your walking stick?
06:27No.
06:29I can't.
06:31Well, Rupert, you have to at least consider a guilty plea.
06:35We can file appeals and lobby to have you released.
06:39It worked for Bernard.
06:40He only served six years.
06:42I know it's terrible, but it's a terrible situation, and you don't exactly have another choice.
06:52Rupert!
06:56Guards, did you see where he went?
07:00I don't understand.
07:01There's nowhere he could have gone.
07:04A trap door on the floor?
07:06I checked.
07:07Nothing.
07:15No, he couldn't have fit in there.
07:17And besides, it only went from here to there.
07:20It never went out the door.
07:24This cart traveled from here to there at that precise moment?
07:57Yes?
07:59A direction hidden from you.
08:09This window is unlatched.
08:18Henry, what's going on?
08:20It's Rupert, dear. He's escaped.
08:22What?
08:23I was meeting with him at the law library, and he managed to slip out the window.
08:29Oh, very good. Where is he now?
08:31I didn't help him.
08:34Oh, well, no, he won't say anything, no.
08:36Darling, we really should be going. We have to be at the estate for the reading of Lucent as well.
08:39Yes.
08:40Wait. Henry, look.
08:45Oh. Oh, this is Rupert's barbershop.
08:50I'll fetch the detective. Ruthie, I'll see you at the estate later.
08:58Mustache. Best of luck.
09:04Hello? Anyone here?
09:16It's all right. Police.
09:20It was Rupert Newsome. The man's gone mad. Tied me up. Put me in my...
09:24Calm down. Calm down. Have a seat.
09:28Start at the beginning. What time did Rupert arrive?
09:32Just after nine o'clock.
09:33That's just after he escaped.
09:35And what happened when he arrived?
09:37I shaved his beard, then he grabbed hold of a straight razor, bundled me in the water closet, and tied
09:41me up.
09:42Was there anyone else here?
09:43No, sir. My next appointment never arrived. I have a standing client at 9.15 every Tuesday.
09:48Who?
09:50Bucky Fanshawe.
09:51The Fanshawe? They live next to the Newsome estate.
09:54And, sir, Bucky is Rupert's best friend.
09:57And now for the reading of Lucinda Helmsworthy Newsome's will.
10:05This is it.
10:06We'll be all right, Ruthie. I'm sure she left Rupert something, and he'll take care of us.
10:10To my brother, Bernard Helmsworthy...
10:12That's me.
10:13...who loves our horses as much as I, I leave the stables, the thoroughbreds, and the sum of $40,000
10:21for their care.
10:28That's everything.
10:30What?
10:31What does that mean? What about the estate?
10:34Well, it goes to Mrs. Helmsworthy Newsome's next of kin.
10:38Her brother.
10:39Moi.
10:41No.
10:42Her husband.
10:45You're rich!
10:46No!
10:50Oh.
10:51Oh.
10:57I never saw him.
11:00We know you picked up Mr. Newsome at the barbershop, Mr. Fanshawe.
11:03Picked him up?
11:05He barreled his way into my carriage and held a razor to my neck.
11:08He nearly cut me.
11:11Are you then saying that you didn't bet Mr. Newsome in his escape?
11:16Bet him what?
11:17I beg your pardon?
11:18I didn't have a bet with Newsome.
11:20No, not a bet.
11:22A bet.
11:23My good man, are you quite all right?
11:25What did he say to you when he got into your carriage?
11:28He told me to bring him to my home.
11:30Now, I refused, of course.
11:33But then he said it again, so I assented.
11:35But when we arrived, I refused to allow him in.
11:38Right.
11:39Where did he go then?
11:41To the boathouse.
11:43He has likely sailed halfway across Lake Ontario by now.
11:47That's what he told you to say?
11:48Yes.
11:52Where did he actually go?
11:56East.
11:56Across the acreage.
11:58The property to the east is the Newsome estate.
12:01All right.
12:02The constables are likely there already.
12:04Let's retrace his steps.
12:06Ah.
12:15Sir?
12:17Sir?
12:23Toronto Constabulary.
12:24What can I do for you?
12:26You work here at the Newsome estate?
12:28I keep the stables.
12:29Did you happen to see Rupert Newsome here?
12:33Isn't he in jail?
12:35He's escaped.
12:36Well, I saw someone crossing the fields earlier,
12:40taking just the route you are now.
12:42Never crossed my mind it'd be Mr. Newsome.
12:45You didn't see his face?
12:46No, ma'am.
12:47That was quite a distance.
12:48And which direction was he going?
12:50Towards the main house.
12:54Sir, this is mad.
12:56Lucinda had an appointment to transfer half the estate to myself.
12:59It was what Dada wanted as soon as I was released from prison.
13:03When was this appointment?
13:05Next week.
13:06Then it didn't happen.
13:08Well, no.
13:09She died.
13:11Upon her death, everything falls to the estate.
13:13The estate follows her will.
13:15Yes, we have to do more.
13:16I'm sorry, Mr. Hemsworthy.
13:18I wouldn't even know what to do with that.
13:20Oh, I do.
13:21Make up for dresses, jewels, shoes.
13:24Ruth.
13:25Henry.
13:27Be reasonable.
13:31What do you think, Henry?
13:33Well, we could give him a share.
13:36No, that doesn't sound like something I would do.
13:38Half the estate was intended to be mine.
13:41It was the wish of dear departed Lucinda and the wish of dear departed Dada.
13:46About that.
13:47Dear departed Dada promised me that sculpture, remember?
13:50But then dear departed Dada died, and dear departed Lucinda refused to give it to me.
13:56So what of it?
13:57You've already stolen it?
13:59I did no such thing.
14:00Pardon the interruption.
14:02Henry, have you seen Rupert Newsome?
14:06Here?
14:06Well, what would Rupert be doing here?
14:08A witness may have seen him crossing from the Fanshawe estate to the house.
14:13No, he hasn't been here.
14:16Pardonnez-moi, someone was in my kitchen.
14:24Now, this door is always locked.
14:28We were told the lock is jammed and it cannot be used.
14:44The lock is jammed, but it's jammed open.
14:47This cannot be locked.
14:50It stands to reason that Rupert would have known about that, given that it's his house.
14:55But what was he doing sneaking into his own kitchen?
14:59No.
15:02What's this?
15:07Coco?
15:10Hmm.
15:13Was Rupert pointing us in this direction?
15:21A servant's staircase?
15:24I had no idea that this was there.
15:28Shall we?
15:41It leads to the upstairs hallway.
15:44Well, this is where the killer struck Lucinda Helmsworthy with the walking stick.
15:48These are the blood spatters.
15:50She was driven down the hallway, this way, to the main stairwell, the end of the hall.
15:59Well, is Rupert trying to show us how someone else may have entered the house that night?
16:04He's trying to prove his innocence.
16:13Madam!
16:14Where's Newsome?
16:16It's all over the papers.
16:17We look like fools.
16:19Well, sir, we've not found him as yet, but he was at the Newsome estate.
16:24Constables are still there searching for clues.
16:26What was Newsome thinking anyway?
16:28I believe he's trying to prove his innocence.
16:31Everyone knows he did it.
16:33He's just run off to make up new evidence to try and sully the case.
16:37History does suggest Rupert Newsome cannot be trusted.
16:41Detective?
16:42They found something at the Newsome estate.
16:47I come bearing a deeper understanding of our, shall we say, impasse.
16:53What?
16:54I assume you're familiar with criminal forfeiture.
16:57Why would you assume that?
16:58It's an established and immutable part of our juste commune.
17:02It states that a criminal cannot profit from his crimes.
17:05So what of it?
17:07I've done nothing wrong.
17:07No, no, but your brother has.
17:09And if he is convicted of killing my sister, he will get nothing.
17:15Ergo, ipso facto prima faccia, you will get nothing.
17:21No.
17:22No.
17:23No, no, no.
17:24That, that can't be right.
17:25Ah, but it is.
17:27It is.
17:29Everything is mine.
17:32Including that sculpture that you stole,
17:35which I insist you return at once.
17:51Constable's found it just over here by the summer house, sir.
17:54Rupert's prison clothes.
17:55So he was here.
17:57Could he be hiding inside?
17:59He may have been, but there's no sign of him now.
18:01The lads are searching the grounds again.
18:03We found a fresh patch of oil and tire tracks on the road down below.
18:07So Rupert may have driven off the estate.
18:10I'll speak with the staff to see if any of the autos are missing.
18:13All right.
18:15Effie, there you are.
18:16What is all this nonsense about?
18:18A criminal forfeiture?
18:20I beg your pardon?
18:21Well, they're saying Rupert gets nothing,
18:22but the will states he's to get everything.
18:25Well, obviously he wouldn't inherit anything if he murdered the testatrix.
18:28He didn't murder one of those.
18:29His wife.
18:31He can't have her money if he killed her.
18:33But that's not fair.
18:34Yes, it is.
18:35Don't worry, Rupert.
18:36We'll find Rupert and we'll prove his innocence.
18:40Yes, yes, yes, yes.
18:42He'll prove his innocence.
18:45What?
18:47What do you mean, dear?
18:48Well, only that a jury could be encouraged to buy the medicine.
19:07Rupert?
19:31Hello.
19:34I took the motor oil out of the auto stables and spilled it on the ground.
19:39That was awfully clever.
19:40I am clever, Effie.
19:41I just don't feel the need to show it off all the time.
19:44Anyway, as soon as they find there's no car missing, I am going back to jail.
19:49No, you're going back to jail now.
19:50Oh, no, please, Effie.
19:53I'm innocent.
19:54So you snuck into the house just to show that somebody else could do it?
19:58Why not just bring it up at trial?
20:00Well, I may not have been entirely truthful on the stand.
20:05Rupert?
20:05What really happened that night?
20:08Well, most of what I said was true.
20:10After the party, Lucy and I were alone.
20:14Come to bed, Purdy.
20:17What a moment, dear?
20:19Don't tarry too long.
20:21I have the most wondrous joke to tell you.
20:27What was the joke?
20:28I haven't any idea.
20:31You see, I never joined her upstairs.
20:34After a moment, I heard something.
20:37No!
20:38Yes.
20:40Terrible sound from the staircase.
20:42No, the old kitchen door.
20:45I knew what that meant.
20:47Lucinda had a visitor.
20:49I was to wait downstairs.
20:51Who was the visitor?
20:53Well, the killer, presumably.
20:55Initially, of course, I assumed it was Bucky.
20:58Bucky Fanshawe?
20:59Well, yes.
21:00Bucky and Lucinda had been carrying on an affair for some months.
21:04She jammed the lock on the old kitchen door
21:06and reopened the disused servant staircase
21:09so he could enter unnoticed
21:11and do unto her his carnal neighbors.
21:14And you knew about this?
21:16Oh, yes.
21:18Ha!
21:19Lucinda and I had an arrangement.
21:21She could get lucky with Bucky
21:22and I was free to enjoy the pleasure of her contentment.
21:25You can see why I could not bring this up on the stand.
21:28It would cast shame upon Lucinda's memory.
21:31And it would give you a motive.
21:32Oh, yes, I suppose it would.
21:36So Bucky killed Lucinda?
21:38No, no.
21:40No, Effie, I confronted Bucky straight away upon my escape.
21:43He said he didn't do it.
21:44And you believed him?
21:46Effie, he's my top chum.
21:48He was sleeping with your wife.
21:50Well, somebody had to.
21:52You don't understand.
21:53Bucky was at home that night
21:55emptying himself into the latrine
21:57after being made sick
21:58by that awful tartare
21:59that Lucy insisted on serving.
22:01So somebody else
22:02entered the kitchen door that night.
22:04And whoever it was killed Lucinda.
22:07But how did the killer
22:09get a hold of your walking stick?
22:10I don't know.
22:12I left it in the hallway.
22:14Listen, Rupert,
22:15we will find whoever killed Lucinda,
22:17but I have to return you to jail.
22:19Oh, no, no, no, no, please.
22:21No, no, you can't.
22:22Look.
22:23Look.
22:25I received it in prison.
22:27I don't know who sent it.
22:32You are not getting out of this alive.
22:36It's a threat.
22:37I'm aware.
22:40Please, Effie Speffie.
22:42You have to keep me safe
22:43until we catch him.
22:46Please.
22:51Lucinda was having an affair,
22:54and Rupert wrote you
22:55an entire account of his innocence
22:58and placed it in your postbox.
23:00Yes.
23:02With no indication
23:04of where he might be hiding.
23:05I'm afraid not.
23:09Right then.
23:11If that is the case,
23:13then according to Rupert,
23:15whoever came through the kitchen door
23:16that night
23:17is the murderer,
23:20and his assertion
23:21that Bucky Fanshawe's innocent
23:22is suspect at best.
23:24The tartar did seem off,
23:26and Lucinda was displeased
23:28with just about everyone that day.
23:31Anyone in particular?
23:34I did see her having a row
23:36with her stable hand.
23:38Mr. Slattery,
23:40why was Mrs. Helmsworthy
23:42upset with you
23:43on the night of her murder?
23:44I told her
23:45one of the horses got loose.
23:47Couldn't find him anywhere.
23:49She dressed me down,
23:50but it wasn't my fault.
23:51The gate was broken.
23:53And where were you
23:54after the party?
23:55I was out with Mr. Helmsworthy
23:56looking for the horse.
23:58That's right.
23:59We were searching all night.
24:02I still have no idea
24:03what happened
24:04to that poor animal.
24:06I understand
24:07Mrs. Helmsworthy
24:08was quite displeased
24:10with you that evening.
24:11Lucy, scarcely.
24:13She said I was being
24:15too hard on Rupert
24:16as if he didn't deserve
24:17all that he got,
24:18but mostly she was
24:20cross with Ruth
24:23about that damnable sculpture.
24:25Her own father
24:26promised me that sculpture
24:27on his deathbed.
24:29I thought you said
24:30he promised it to you
24:31during the hunt.
24:31You sound just like her.
24:33What does it matter?
24:33He promised it to me.
24:35Where were you
24:36after the party?
24:37We went home shortly
24:39before nine.
24:39Oh, but I did see
24:41Lucinda excoriating
24:42the chef.
24:43Probably because
24:44the tartare was
24:45inedible.
24:46Oh, really?
24:47I quite liked it.
24:49She kept asking,
24:51where's the tartare?
24:52Is it ready?
24:53Is it ready?
24:55I told her
24:56to close her mouth.
24:58Horrible woman.
25:00She's dead,
25:01Mr. Debussy.
25:03Uh, yes.
25:05Where were you
25:06after the party?
25:08In my quarters,
25:10asleep.
25:11Was anyone else
25:11with you?
25:12No.
25:16Chef Debussy
25:17has no alibi
25:18for the time
25:18of the murder.
25:19He claims he's
25:20never been upstairs
25:21here where the murder
25:22took place
25:23and that he had
25:23no prior knowledge
25:24of the servant's
25:25staircase that leads here.
25:27so if we find
25:28his finger marks
25:29we'll know
25:29he's lying.
25:36Henry?
25:37Hmm?
25:38Yes?
25:38Is there something
25:39in that dumbwaiter?
25:42No, there isn't.
25:44Can I see?
25:48Oh, is there something
25:49in the dumbwaiter?
25:52Yes, there is.
25:55Detective?
25:58I think
25:59we may have found
26:00our sculpture.
26:05Your finger marks
26:06were found
26:07all over the
26:08servant's staircase
26:10and in the hallway
26:12where Mrs. Helmsworthy
26:13was killed.
26:14Both places
26:15you claimed
26:16you had not been.
26:18Is that so?
26:19Yes.
26:21I believe
26:22you snuck
26:23into the home
26:24in order to
26:25steal this
26:26item.
26:27Mrs. Helmsworthy
26:28caught you
26:29and you murdered her.
26:38I went back
26:40to the house
26:40that night
26:41to retrieve
26:41my sculpture.
26:44Lucinda
26:44refused to give it
26:45to me
26:46so I just
26:46took matters
26:47into my own hands.
26:49Rupert told me
26:50about Bucky's
26:51secret entrance
26:51which led me
26:52right to where
26:53Lucinda kept
26:54my statue.
26:57Once I got it
26:58I heard someone
26:59coming up
26:59the main stairs.
27:05I was worried
27:06about being
27:06caught with it
27:07so I stashed him
27:09in the hopes
27:10that I would
27:11come back
27:12and retrieve him.
27:14Probably should have
27:14made a run for it.
27:19Who was coming
27:21up the main staircase?
27:24I heard Lucinda
27:25say
27:26what are you
27:26doing here
27:27but
27:28I was halfway
27:28out the door
27:29so I didn't
27:29see anybody.
27:32I didn't kill
27:33Lucinda.
27:35I don't know
27:36who did.
27:37If it wasn't
27:38Ruth Newsome
27:38then who was it?
27:39She may be lying.
27:41According to her story
27:42the killer came up
27:43the main staircase.
27:44If so
27:45Rupert Newsome
27:46would have seen him.
27:47One of them
27:48is wrong.
27:49All lying.
27:51Higgins
27:52what are you
27:52hanging around for?
27:54I'm waiting for
27:55word about my wife sir.
27:57We should lock
27:57you up with her.
27:59Did you really
27:59think you could
28:00hide this thing?
28:01I'm terribly sorry
28:02sir I panicked.
28:03I know Ruth
28:04would never
28:04actually hurt anyone.
28:08Take her home.
28:09One more
28:10cock up
28:10and you're
28:11off the job.
28:12Thank you sir.
28:14If he's hiding
28:15anything about
28:16Newsome
28:16I'll hang him
28:17myself.
28:25Don't worry
28:25Ruthie
28:26we still have
28:26some.
28:27I mean
28:27you're a moving
28:27picture star.
28:28I'm a working
28:29actor Henry
28:30one cannot
28:30survive on the
28:31wages of a
28:32working actor.
28:33Well
28:34perhaps Rupert
28:35will be found
28:35not guilty
28:36and we'll
28:36still be rich.
28:38Yes
28:39and perhaps
28:39you could
28:40arrange that.
28:41We are not
28:42bribing the
28:42jury darling.
28:43No no of
28:44course not.
28:44No but you
28:45as a police
28:47constable.
28:48Yes you
28:48as a police
28:48constable
28:49you could
28:49arrest someone
28:50else for
28:50murder like
28:51him.
28:53Want me to
28:53arrest an
28:54innocent person
28:54for murder?
28:56No no no
28:56you misunderstand
28:57me.
28:57I'm suggesting
28:58that instead
28:59of Rupert
29:00you arrest
29:00someone that
29:01nobody cares
29:01about.
29:01I'm sure
29:02there are
29:02people that
29:03care about
29:03that man
29:04dear.
29:04Not him
29:05then.
29:05You're one of
29:06these people
29:06that's just
29:06sort of around.
29:07Not a real
29:08person.
29:10Him.
29:11Or um.
29:12No him.
29:14They are all
29:15real people
29:16dear.
29:16Someone else
29:17whoever.
29:19Dear I
29:20can you
29:20just simply
29:21arrest an
29:21innocent person
29:22off the streets?
29:24I'm not
29:25suggesting that.
29:26My God
29:26Henry you
29:27really are
29:27impossible.
29:35Miss Newsome.
29:38Detective.
29:40I was just
29:41here to
29:42check on
29:43something.
29:44Not
29:45hiding the
29:46fact that
29:46Rupert Newsome
29:47is inside
29:47this lodging?
29:48How did
29:49you know?
29:50That letter
29:51was odd.
29:52And your
29:53reaction to
29:54the chief
29:54constable
29:54threatening
29:55to punish
29:55anyone aiding
29:56Rupert Newsome
29:57was palpable.
29:58Let me
29:58explain.
29:59You have
29:59been aiding
30:00an escaped
30:01prisoner.
30:01I highly
30:02doubt you
30:02have a
30:03very good
30:03explanation.
30:05I intended
30:05to turn
30:06him in
30:06but what
30:08was that?
30:11Toronto
30:12Constabulary
30:13stop!
30:15Rupert!
30:16Did he
30:17rip my
30:18neckerchief?
30:25Stop!
30:42Who was that
30:43man?
30:44I don't know.
30:46The hands
30:46around my
30:47throat suggest
30:48maybe the
30:48killer.
30:49He received a
30:50threat while he
30:51was in jail.
30:52That's why I
30:52allowed him to
30:53stay here.
30:53I feared
30:54for his
30:54safety.
30:55That was
30:56not your
30:57decision to
30:57make.
30:58You will
30:59be returned
30:59to custody.
31:01But first
31:02your sister
31:03said the
31:04killer came
31:04up the
31:05main stairs
31:06which means
31:06you would
31:07have seen
31:07him.
31:08Oh.
31:09Well
31:11perhaps
31:11there was a
31:12teensy detail
31:14I may have
31:14left out.
31:15Rupert!
31:15What
31:16happened?
31:17Oh
31:18as I
31:18said
31:19I was in
31:20the sitting
31:20room when
31:21I heard
31:21the kitchen
31:22door open.
31:25Instead of
31:25simply waiting
31:27there for the
31:27duration of the
31:28romantic interlude
31:29I slipped out
31:30of the house
31:30for a few
31:30moments.
31:31Where did
31:32you go?
31:32I came here
31:33to the
31:34summer house.
31:35I wanted to
31:36play little
31:36wars.
31:38Bucky
31:38Bucky and I
31:39have an
31:39ongoing battle.
31:41Pew pew!
31:42You and Bucky
31:42were here
31:43together?
31:43No no no no.
31:44I thought he
31:45was with
31:45Lucinda but
31:46in fact
31:47he was
31:47home sick
31:48with the
31:48tartar.
31:49I was
31:50here alone.
31:51I've read
31:51H.G.
31:52Wells'
31:52book about
31:53little wars.
31:54I've played
31:54with my
31:55son.
31:56The game
31:56is a
31:57two person
31:57game at
31:58minimum
31:58which means
31:58if you
31:59were here
31:59alone
31:59you were
32:00cheating.
32:01How dare
32:02you?
32:02Rupert
32:03you've
32:03deliberately
32:04withheld
32:04information
32:05about an
32:06ongoing
32:06murder
32:06investigation
32:07a murder
32:08for which
32:08you may
32:08very well
32:09hang
32:09because
32:09you were
32:10ashamed
32:10you
32:10cheated

32:11silly

32:12How dare

32:20me please

32:23after you
32:24left the
32:24sitting room.
32:25Well I
32:26I was here
32:27for no more
32:28than ten
32:28minutes.
32:29I left
32:29to return
32:30to the
32:30main house.
32:32But
32:33Lucinda's
32:34companion
32:34had not
32:35yet left.
32:36She was
32:36talking to
32:37a man
32:37but I
32:38couldn't
32:38make out
32:38his voice.
32:39I heard
32:40Lucinda
32:41say
32:42Casanova
32:43Casanova
32:43Casanova
32:45something
32:46about
