00:16:18The End
00:16:19The End
00:16:24Why do you ask?
00:16:26Oh, no reason.
00:16:27I just wondered.
00:16:29We ought to be going. It must be awfully late.
00:16:40When Emma came up to London for the day,
00:16:43she made a habit of calling in at Michael's house in Harley Street
00:16:46after the day's shopping.
00:16:47And often they'd have dinner together afterwards.
00:17:00I'm sorry I had to keep you waiting.
00:17:02I got messed up with my appointments this afternoon.
00:17:04It doesn't matter. Come and listen.
00:17:07It's a record Anne's made.
00:17:09It almost sounds as though she were a real pianist.
00:17:12I'm trying to think what this is.
00:17:14Madam, will you walk?
00:17:15Oh, yes.
00:17:17Is it good? Is that really Anne?
00:17:18Of course it is.
00:17:20Quite a professional job.
00:17:21Shh.
00:17:22I'm trying to think what this is.
00:17:23Oh, Dash.
00:17:25I'll go back.
00:17:26That was a mistake. She always goes wrong there.
00:17:28But we're going to have another one made without any mistakes.
00:17:32I'm slightly sorry.
00:17:35She can play it, really.
00:17:36This is where she goes wrong.
00:17:48She used to play very well.
00:17:50After the accident, of course, she had to play from memory.
00:17:53I made her go on practicing.
00:17:56Emma, do you love your husband?
00:18:02Well, do you?
00:18:06I don't know how to answer that question.
00:18:07But you know why I asked.
00:18:12Yes.
00:18:14Well, Michael, I don't know what to say.
00:18:16Philip and I have been together for so long.
00:18:19I love you, Emma.
00:18:22You shouldn't have told me.
00:18:25If we'd kept quiet about it, we might have gone on seeing each other.
00:18:29It wouldn't have worked.
00:18:33I suppose not.
00:18:35I wanted you to know.
00:18:38I did know, Michael.
00:18:45I've tried not to recognize it.
00:18:47I tried to tell myself that something would happen to make it all right.
00:18:51Though I knew nothing could.
00:18:53It can never be all right.
00:18:55Neither of us is free or ever likely to be.
00:18:58There's nothing we can do about it.
00:19:00We won't see each other again after today.
00:19:04No.
00:19:07I'll miss you.
00:19:09Oh, Michael, so shall I?
00:19:12Dreadfully.
00:19:38It became more and more difficult for them to end their association.
00:19:42Though neither was happy about it.
00:19:44Emma's husband was giving up the work he liked so as to be with her.
00:19:48And she was torn between her loyalty towards him and her love for Michael Joyce.
00:19:54Finally, she decided to write to her husband and explain what had happened.
00:19:59And to ask him to release her.
00:20:10I can't send it, can I?
00:20:12No, you can't.
00:20:14It would be too unfair.
00:20:17It's Anne I'm thinking of, of course.
00:20:19Yes, well, there's your answer.
00:20:21It certainly wouldn't be fair to her.
00:20:23There's only one thing for us to do, I'm afraid.
00:20:30Goodbye, Michael.
00:20:37No, don't come near me.
00:20:40We must never see each other again.
00:20:57And they never did see each other again.
00:21:21Good morning, Mr. Joyce.
00:21:23Good morning.
00:21:24Isn't it terrible about Mrs. Wright?
00:21:28Mrs. Wright.
00:21:30Do you remember? The mother was a little girl.
00:21:33Come on. I haven't found her.
00:21:35Oh, you'll come in.
00:21:39Can you take a seat in here, I feel?
00:21:44What about her?
00:21:46Who?
00:21:46Oh, Mrs. Wright.
00:21:48She fell out of a window and broke her neck.
00:22:01It was established at the inquest that the fatal fall took place at about six o'clock in the evening.
00:22:08The only other people in the house at the time were the child, Anne, and a housemaid,
00:22:13who testified that earlier in the afternoon, Mrs. Catherine Howard had visited the house.
00:22:19Did you see Mrs. Howard leave?
00:22:21Yes, sir. I saw her get into a car and drive away.
00:22:24At about what time?
00:22:26A little before six, I should say, sir.
00:22:28And it was some minutes later that you heard a noise as of someone falling?
00:22:32Yes.
00:22:33That will be all, Miss Bond. Thank you.
00:22:45Repeat after me.
00:22:46I swear by Almighty God.
00:22:48I swear by Almighty God.
00:22:49That I will speak the truth.
00:22:50That I will speak the truth.
00:22:50The whole truth.
00:22:51The whole truth.
00:22:52And nothing but the truth.
00:22:53Nothing but the truth.
00:22:54You are Mrs. Catherine Howard?
00:22:55Yes.
00:22:56And your address is?
00:22:57I live at the Arcadia Hotel.
00:22:59Yes.
00:23:00And what was your relationship to the deceased?
00:23:02She was my sister-in-law.
00:23:03She was married to my brother, Philip.
00:23:05When did you last see Mrs. Wright alive?
00:23:08About six o'clock on the evening of the accident.
00:23:10I was with her for about an hour.
00:23:12You had an engagement with her?
00:23:14Well, not exactly an engagement.
00:23:16But she knew that I might stop by.
00:23:19Was she actually expecting you to stop by?
00:23:22Well, she wasn't exactly expecting me.
00:23:24But since my husband was killed, I'd been in the habit of popping in and out whenever I was nearby.
00:23:29What happened when you arrived?
00:23:31Nothing.
00:23:33Did you talk?
00:23:34Yes, we chatted for a while.
00:23:36About anything in particular?
00:23:38No, just talk.
00:23:40Did she seem worried?
00:23:42On the contrary.
00:23:43She was very cheerful.
00:23:44She was looking forward to her husband coming home.
00:23:46Had she been suffering from ill health?
00:23:49Not at all.
00:23:50Then there was nothing in her manner to suggest that anything was wrong.
00:23:53Certainly not.
00:23:54Oh, but she did have a great fear of heights.
00:23:57She had a great fear of heights?
00:23:59Do you mean that she mentioned it on this particular afternoon?
00:24:03Well, no.
00:24:05Why did you mention it just now?
00:24:07Well, it seemed to me the only possible explanation for her falling out of the window.
00:24:10I see.
00:24:12What was Mrs. Wright doing when you left her?
00:24:15She was in her room.
00:24:17I think she was going to turn out her stocking drawer.
00:24:20Thank you, Mrs. Howard.
00:24:21That will be all.
00:24:36Come over here by me.
00:24:42Oh, Anne, you understand what it meant by telling the truth, don't you?
00:24:47Yes.
00:24:48It's very important that you do because I'm going to ask you a few questions and I want you to
00:24:52answer them truthfully.
00:24:54Tell me, when did you last see your mother?
00:24:59It was a little while before I went to bed.
00:25:02Where was your mother?
00:25:04In her room.
00:25:06Did you go in to talk to her?
00:25:09I went to say goodnight.
00:25:11And did you say goodnight?
00:25:13Yes.
00:25:14Yes.
00:25:15Did your mother seem normal?
00:25:19Yes.
00:25:21Tell me, Anne, was there anyone with your mother?
00:25:33No.
00:25:35Nothing happened that seemed unusual to you?
00:25:37No.
00:25:39That will be all.
00:25:49Repeat after me.
00:25:50I swear by Almighty God.
00:25:51I swear by Almighty God.
00:25:52That I will speak the truth.
00:25:53That I will speak the truth.
00:25:54The whole truth.
00:25:55The whole truth.
00:25:56And nothing but the truth.
00:25:58Dr. Reynolds, is your name William Gaunt Reynolds?
00:26:01Yes.
00:26:01Do you practice in Downborough?
00:26:03Were you called in this case?
00:26:05Yes.
00:26:06What time did you get there?
00:26:08About 6.30 a minute.
00:26:27About 6.30 a minute.
00:26:44About 5.30 a minute.
00:26:46Going back to the 라�atkons.
00:26:46Was there anyone with your mother?
00:26:48Was there anyone with him, Hannah?
00:26:57Milt!
00:26:59Will you be in to dinner tonight, sir?
00:27:02No.
00:27:03No, I've got to go out.
00:27:04Very good, sir.
00:27:09This is Catherine Howard.
00:27:11Your address is...
00:27:12I live at the Arcadia Hotel.
00:27:15I live at the Arcadia Hotel.
00:27:55This is Catherine Howard.
00:27:57The party's in Mrs. Davis' suite. Room 29.
00:28:00Party?
00:28:01I'm sorry, sir. I thought perhaps you were one of the guests.
00:28:03Um, yes. Yes, I am.
00:28:05Room 29. Second floor.
00:28:30Oh, I'm so glad you were able to come. We're in such a muddle. Everybody seems to be here. I
00:28:35won't have to introduce you. Oh, look, there's Joan Scott Potter. Joan, I want you to meet Mr...
00:28:40How do you do?
00:28:40Albert? I can't bear to see people that I didn't move their hands. There. Thank you.
00:28:45Oh, dear. I might have known she'd turn up. Oh, darling. I'm so glad you were able to come.
00:28:52These are the ones we ought to avoid.
00:28:55All right. What's wrong with them?
00:28:56After Jenny Deaver's last party, Judy Hammond went blind.
00:28:59Permanently?
00:29:00No. She's over there somewhere.
00:29:02There's Kate Howard and on the day of the inquest.
00:29:05Would she do it? Put the stamp for me somewhere, will you?
00:29:08Yes.
00:29:14Excuse me.
00:29:17You're being very unsociable. There's someone here I know you'll adore. She's longing to meet you. Sylvia, darling, you don't
00:29:23know Peter, do you? I'm dying to meet you.
00:29:25Got a drink? Good.
00:29:26What on earth is that waiter doing?
00:29:31Is your name really Sylvia?
00:29:33What's wrong with Sylvia?
00:29:34Nothing at all. Only mine isn't Peter.
00:29:37Excuse me, I must take this drink to somebody.
00:29:39I just love that hat.
00:29:41Hello.
00:29:42That's the new window.
00:29:42Why, hello, Doctor. I never expected to find you at a cocktail party.
00:29:46I hardly expected to find myself at one.
00:29:47Have you been here long?
00:29:48No, I've only just arrived. You're looking very well.
00:29:50Oh, I'm an absolute wreck. I've been having the most awful time. I expect you read about it.
00:29:54My sister-in-law, Emma Wright, you know, she fell out of a window and got killed.
00:29:57Yes, I did hear about it.
00:29:59I've just come straight from the inquest. I wonder if I dare try one of these. I shall not think
00:30:03what's in it.
00:30:03Catherine, you border. What really happened? Did you throw herself out, Sylvia?
00:30:08No, of course she didn't.
00:30:09Is one of those going begging? I'll die if I don't have a drink.
00:30:12I'm afraid this belongs to Mrs Hart. You might find one over there, though.
00:30:14Now, don't go away, Catherine. I simply must hear it all.
00:30:19You saved my life.
00:30:21I think you ought to keep moving if you don't want her to catch you again.
00:30:23Quite a good idea.
00:30:28Kate, my dear, you must give me the lowdown.
00:30:31My husband swears that someone pushed her out of the window and it's all been hushed up.
00:30:36Come in the corner in the quiet. I can't bear it.
00:30:38I can't.
00:30:39Haven't you got to telephone your mother?
00:30:40My mother?
00:30:42Oh, yes, I've got to phone my mother. See you later, dear.
00:30:45Excuse me.
00:30:50Kate, my dear, you're not going.
00:30:52Darling, I must. They're too gruesome.
00:30:54You're staying here for dinner.
00:30:56Well, don't rely on me.
00:30:57Oh, quick, there's that awful woman. See you later, dear.
00:30:59You're a menace.
00:31:01Catherine!
00:31:01Darling, you haven't got a drink.
00:31:03No.
00:31:25I'm really not suitably dressed to be here. I ought to have changed, I suppose, but I've had such a
00:31:29hectic week.
00:31:30What with the inquest and everyone ringing up and asking silly questions about Emma.
00:31:33I do sympathize with you.
00:31:34All I know is she's left me with a load of debts.
00:31:37Was Mrs. Wright in debt?
00:31:39Oh, not hers. Mine.
00:31:40I wonder if they've got any potted shrimps.
00:31:42What's happened to Anne?
00:31:44Anne?
00:31:45How do you know, Anne?
00:31:47I operated, Anne.
00:31:48Why, yes, of course. So you did. How silly of me.
00:31:51You know, I think I have one too many at that party.
00:31:53I almost forgot for the moment who you were.
00:31:55Well, what has happened to her?
00:31:56Oh, she's gone to Portsmouth.
00:31:58Emma's mother has a house down there.
00:32:00There's a dreary old miser, whoever there was one.
00:32:02She hates me. As if you cared.
00:32:05I do care. I'm most interested.
00:32:07You're just being very polite and sweet. Frankly, I'm bad for you.
00:32:11It's fatal to have a drink of Jenny Dee, but you never know what she's going to put in them.
00:32:13It'll pass off as soon as you've had something to eat.
00:32:16Tell me about the house. What's happened to that?
00:32:18What house?
00:32:19Mrs. Wright.
00:32:20Oh, it's up for sale.
00:32:21Oh, really?
00:32:22Well, we moved Anne out the night her mother died.
00:32:24Philip will never want to see the place again.
00:32:26It's empty now. You got any potted shrimps?
00:32:28I'm afraid not, madam.
00:32:29Lobster cocktails?
00:32:30Yes, madam.
00:32:41Would you be very forward of me to hope that I shall see you again?
00:32:43If you'd held your breath a moment longer, I should have suggested it myself.
00:32:47Well?
00:32:48Well, are you free tomorrow evening?
00:32:51I'll see that I am.
00:32:52All right.
00:32:53Same place?
00:32:54Six o'clock?
00:32:55In the bar?
00:32:56Wonderful.
00:32:57Good.
00:32:57Good night.
00:32:59Good night.
00:33:23Good night.
00:33:25the grounds trying to find some way of getting into the house but there were no
00:33:29windows unlatched and the place seemed to be completely deserted so he had to
00:33:33break in
00:33:55the
00:34:52this was the room where Emma had spent her leisure
00:34:54hours everything was just as it must have been when she was alive her piano and
00:35:02hands
00:35:38he knew he was in Emma's room as soon as he opened the door there was still the
00:35:43fence smell of her perfume
00:35:58on the other side of the valley he could see the little chapel that Emma had found
00:36:30so charming

00:38:01caretaker
00:38:03did you take anything that doesn't belong to you no certainly not it's rather difficult to explain
00:38:08i it's just that you haven't got a piano of your own i suppose it's all right i believe you
00:38:14no
00:38:14sensible burglar is going to stop practicing the piano while he's on the job did you know the lady
00:38:20who earned this house noah why i worked for her for 10 years i looked after the garden oh are
00:38:26you the
00:38:27gardener who plays the organ at the chapel oh you know about me oh yes look here there's no point
00:38:34in our standing out here in the cold i've got the kettle on would you like a cup of tea
00:38:38there's
00:38:38nothing i'd like better come down to my room i gather that mrs howard didn't take very kindly to
00:38:44your organ playing mrs howard poking her nose into everyone's business let the poor lady a nice dance
00:38:49i can tell you shocking tragedy ever such a nice lady i'm usually in bed by this time if i'd
00:38:57broken
00:38:57in earlier i might have played the piano in peace if you picked the right night you could have made
00:39:00yourself at home the whole evening oh really yes i always cycle over to my sisters on fridays
00:39:05kind of breaks the monotony thanks for the information if i were a burglar i could use it
00:39:11you're no burglar i can see that i knew mrs wright i wanted to have a look at the scene
00:39:17of the accident
00:39:19accident it were no accident the coroner said it was and what if he did does it seem likely to
00:39:26you
00:39:26that a lady would fall out of a window she'd been looking out of for 10 years
00:39:30a lady that was perfectly healthy and didn't suffer from a fear of heights no matter what some people
00:39:36said at the inquest help yourself to milk thank you she's a real devil that mrs howard you seem
00:39:42prejudiced it's not only me doris would bear me out sugar no thank you and cook mrs howard lived here
00:39:49for a time after her husband was killed and she'd never let mrs wright alone always nagging and getting
00:39:55on her nerves and mrs wright was that soft-hearted she was very easily upset yes i know she was
00:40:02and then
00:40:03there was a scene about the carpet what about the carpet oh she stole it mrs howard did stole
00:40:09a carpet mrs wright let on she gave it to her just to save mrs hard's face but we know
00:40:13different
00:40:14they say mrs hard got a tidy sum for it did she i imagine mrs howard was fairly well off
00:40:21well she
00:40:22had a lot of money by her husband but that didn't stop her trying to get more have another cup
00:40:26no thank
00:40:27you very much i must be moving yes tried to get me the set just because she didn't like my
00:40:32organ
00:40:33playing are you fond of singing it's a long time since i hope so if you want to know what
00:40:41i think
00:40:41mrs howard pushed her i'm sure that's not true she could do it but the maid said at the inquest
00:40:48that
00:40:48mrs howard left the house before it happened doris would want to keep it dark for mr wright's sake
00:40:55well for mrs howard's sake i hope you're wrong
00:41:01at first he found it hard to credit the catholic as a session but later as he got to know
00:41:06kate
00:41:07howard he couldn't entirely dismiss the idea she was a hard self-centered brittle woman and it did
00:41:13seem just possible that she had had something to do with her sister-in-law's death
00:41:18kate howard was delighted with his attentions and only too pleased to talk about herself
00:41:24she appeared to be a woman with a grudge first of all when she'd wanted to be a singer her
00:41:28parents
00:41:29had refused to pay for her training her husband had been equally uncooperative from the way she spoke
00:41:35of him one would have thought that he'd chosen to die young solely in order to keep her short of
00:41:39money
00:41:40then there was her brother philip she'd always resented the fact that he had the land share of
00:41:45her family's money there were so many things she would have liked to do with her life she kept telling
00:41:50him he tried to draw her out on the subject of emma wright but here she was much more reticent
00:41:57however she did finally come out with an interesting statement emma had a lover
00:42:03no but that's not true surprises you i suppose how did you know she told me
00:42:11did she tell you who the man was no i suppose i shouldn't have talked about her now that she's
00:42:16dead still you asked and now you know why i say that ann would be better off without her
00:42:20where's i'm going to live with me with you oh don't look so shocked i can't exactly picture you
00:42:27looking after a child i don't be so sure of that i'm full of unfulfilled maternal instincts are you
00:42:35no i've arranged for her to go to boarding school i didn't expect to hear of her again till the
00:42:39summer
00:42:39holidays come and sit down over here you're such a long way away is her father satisfied with this
00:42:45arrangement oh yes he came with me to make a home for her do you course any at a school
00:42:49making a home
00:42:49now don't you start on me i've had quite enough trouble for man she wants to be allowed to stay
00:42:53on
00:42:53with emma's mother philip wants to be brought up by someone younger hence me i see when does she start
00:42:59her school monday i've got her coming to town tomorrow to get her teeth fixed before she goes
00:43:04a sickening responsibility still it can't be helped i presume your trouble will not go entirely
00:43:08unrewarded oh no philip's making me an allowance to take care of her i shouldn't have taken it on
00:43:13otherwise still it's an awful nuisance poor little ann don't waste just simply on her what time is this
00:43:19dentist appointment why are you so interested i was just thinking that you'll be free while she's
00:43:24there so if i were free at the same time we might meet that's quite a thought kate was completely
00:43:32unsuspecting when he made an appointment to meet her for tea at this avoid four o'clock
00:43:36he never had any intention of keeping this appointment he had to see anne and he had to find a
00:43:42way of
00:43:42seeing her alone my aunt told me to come and wait for her here when i finished with the dentist
00:43:50come in

00:44:56what was that your life hand don't you remember yes why did you say at the inquest that there was
00:45:03no one with your mother the last time you saw her because there wasn't that's not true though is it
00:45:11oh i don't know what you want me to say your aunt kate was with her wasn't she don't leave
00:45:14me alone
00:45:15please what happened between kate and your mother before the accident it wasn't an accident it was

00:45:37kate said that yes well she's no right to say it no one can send you to prison if you
00:45:41tell the truth
00:45:43what happened then you've got to tell me
00:45:49i went up to mommy's room to say good night i've been playing in the garden since tea time
00:45:55i knew aunt kate was with mommy and as i reached the top of the stairs aunt kate was coming
00:46:00out of
00:46:00mommy's room she was angry and she talked in a very quiet voice to me she said she had something
00:46:06very important to tell me then she started she said the most horrible things about mommy about mommy and
00:46:14some man there was going to be a divorce she said and i'd have to give evidence against mommy i'd
00:46:20have
00:46:20to tell them in court for daddy's sake all the awful things mommy had done i suppose mommy must have
00:46:26been
00:46:26listening all the time because suddenly she told aunt kate to get out of the house she wouldn't go
00:46:32mommy told me to come to her room with her but i wouldn't i don't know why i was afraid
00:46:37i suppose
00:46:38and i believed what aunt kate had said i believed then it was only afterwards i saw how wicked she
00:46:45was
00:46:47i heard mommy slam the door for her when she went back i never saw her again it was all
00:46:53my fault for

00:47:08i waited
00:47:09for you over an hour as it happens i had more important things to do i don't know who you
00:47:12think
00:47:12you are i'm not in the habit of paying for my own tea come along then
00:47:23you
00:47:24so
00:48:40I want to talk to you, Michael.
00:48:43It won't take long.
00:48:50What do you want to say?
00:48:51We can't talk down here.
00:49:06I realise it was very silly of me to be so annoyed with you this afternoon.
00:49:10I suppose you were working and couldn't help it.
00:49:12Is that what you came to say?
00:49:13Yes.
00:49:14All right, you've said it now.
00:49:17Good night.
00:49:18You're still angry with me.
00:49:20Please don't be.
00:49:21Let's forget about it and be friends.
00:49:23I don't want to see you again, Kate.
00:49:26Oh, Michael.
00:49:27Just because of this afternoon?
00:49:29That has nothing to do with it.
00:49:30You can't just drop me like this.
00:49:32It isn't fair.
00:49:34It'll be better for you if I do.
00:49:36How can you say that?
00:49:37You're fond of me, aren't you?
00:49:39Anyway, I'm very fond of you.
00:49:41Go home, Kate.
00:49:43It's silly to punish us both just because you're angry with me.
00:49:48Michael, you're not just trying to end things with me out of a misplaced chivalry, are you?
00:49:54Misplaced chivalry?
00:49:55What do you mean?
00:49:56It just occurred to me that you might think you were being unfair to go on, knowing that you're not
00:50:00free.
00:50:01Oh, I see.
00:50:03You mean I'm trying to drop you rather than involve you with a married man, is that it?
00:50:07Well, isn't it?
00:50:10I'm asking you for the last time.
00:50:12Go home before it's too late.
00:50:14Michael.
00:50:23I don't care about a lot of silly conventions.
00:50:26I want to be with you under any circumstances.
00:50:32Do you, Kate?
00:50:36Very well, you shall be.
00:50:45She had made up his mind for him.
00:50:48That was the end for Kate.
00:50:51He now began to make his plans for the revenge he'd thought of for so long.
00:50:56He arranged for his junior to take over his patients
00:50:59and established at the hospital that there was a possibility that he might not be available for the coming fortnight.
00:51:05He wanted to be prepared for every emergency.
00:51:08If something should go wrong and prevent him carrying out his plan at once,
00:51:12he didn't want his absence to be noticed.
00:51:15He'd left himself with only one appointment before his meeting with Kate Howard.
00:51:20This was a routine job of an educational nature,
00:51:24which he did at regular intervals as a sideline.
00:51:28While he was engaged on it,
00:51:31his mind was working out the practical problems
00:51:33which would be involved by this plan he'd formulated.
00:51:39It was a Friday night.
00:51:41That was going to make things easier for him.
00:51:44He'd arranged to pick her up at a lonely part of the embankment.
00:51:49On his suggestion,
00:51:50she'd told her friends that she was going away for a few weeks.
00:51:54As they drove out of London,
00:51:56she was full of the usual chatter,
00:51:59never suspecting for a moment his real feelings towards her.
00:52:02Until they'd actually arrived at Emma's house.
00:52:05She'd no idea where he was taking her.
00:52:08The house was for sale.
00:52:09He wanted to see it.
00:52:11She accepted this explanation.
00:52:14He knew that no one would answer the bell,
00:52:16because he remembered the gardener telling him
00:52:18that he always went over to his sister's place on Friday nights.
00:52:22The window was still broken as he'd left it on his last visit.
00:52:27She followed him upstairs to Emma's room
00:52:30and over to the window out of which Emma had fallen.
00:52:34He drew the curtains, threw open the window.
00:52:38Then he told her that he was the man Emma had loved.
00:52:43That he'd found out that she was responsible for Emma's death.
00:52:47And now she was going to die the same way Emma had died.
00:52:52He told her to throw herself out.
00:52:56At the last moment, she started to scream.
00:53:00Then she fell.
00:53:05This was a murder conceived in perfect sanity
00:53:09and faultlessly carried out.
00:53:15I'm afraid I've taken rather longer with this story than I'd intended.
00:53:18I shall have to leave the more general discussion of the subject until next time.
00:53:23May I ask you a question?
00:53:26Yes.
00:53:27I take it that the murderer was never suspected?
00:53:31No.
00:53:32The police could find no evidence that pointed to anything other than suicide.
00:53:36And yet, like all paranoics, he had to tell someone about it.
00:53:40I don't quite get that.
00:53:42Well, he told you, presumably.
00:53:46Yes, he was a patient of mine.
00:53:48In a lunatic asylum.
00:53:51No, he was perfectly sane.
00:53:53Same as I am.
00:53:55You didn't mind my asking?
00:53:57Not at all.
00:53:58It was a good question.
00:53:59No, I was a doctor.
00:54:01Very much then.
00:54:08No.
00:54:09No, no, no.
00:54:12No, no.
00:54:12I don't know.
00:54:14No, no.
00:54:17No, no.
00:54:18No.
00:54:22Let's go.
00:55:11Have you been waiting?
00:55:12I'll take that.
00:55:30Where are we going?
00:55:32You'll see.
00:55:33Oh, a surprise.
00:55:37You went across a red light.
00:55:39Did I?
00:55:48You hate women who make up in public.
00:55:51I've never thought about it.
00:55:52So much for that little subject of conversation.
00:55:55Perhaps you'd like to talk about it yourself.
00:55:57What was your appointment this evening?
00:55:59I was giving a lecture on criminology.
00:56:02Well, what have you got to say on that subject?
00:56:04I told a story about a man who killed a woman for revenge.
00:56:08I was carrying things a bit far.
00:56:10Mad, I suppose.
00:56:12No, he was perfectly sane.
00:56:13I know.
00:56:14They always have a kink somewhere, those people who do violent things.
00:56:17Take my sister-in-law, for example.
00:56:20How does she come into the argument?
00:56:21She must have been a bit mad to do a thing like that.
00:56:24Like what?
00:56:25Committing suicide.
00:56:27What makes you say it was suicide?
00:56:28It was an accident.
00:56:29What's the matter?
00:56:31I thought for a moment that was that awful chapel near her house.
00:56:34We're going to her house.
00:56:37Whatever for?
00:56:38You said it was up for sale, didn't you?
00:56:40Well, so it is.
00:56:41I might buy it.
00:56:44Well, what a time to choose to go and look over a house.
00:56:47You must be demented.
00:57:00How'd you get?
00:57:01Do let's come back in the daytime.
00:57:03I want to show you something.
00:57:04It won't take long.
00:57:06All right.
00:57:16Where are you going?
00:57:18I'm looking to see if any of these windows are open.
00:57:20That's not necessary.
00:57:21The gardener should be here.
00:57:22He's taking care of the place till it's sold.
00:57:29There's a window broken here.
00:57:36You're not serious.
00:57:39Certainly I am.
00:57:44Oh, well, anything to oblige a criminologist.
00:57:49Just a minute when I turn our light.
00:57:51No, don't do that.
00:57:52It'll spoil the atmosphere.
00:57:56Well, which part of the house do you want to see first?
00:58:00Upstairs.
00:58:01I'd better lead the way.
00:58:02I know the place.
00:58:04I can't imagine anyone ever wanting to live here.
00:58:06I've always loathed it.
00:58:08I tried to persuade Philip to sell it long ago when he first inherited it.
00:58:17This was her room.
00:58:18That's right.
00:58:19What?
00:58:19How did you know?
00:58:20I've been here before.
00:58:24When?
00:58:27What really gave you the idea that she had a lover?
00:58:32She told me so.
00:58:33Now tell me the truth.
00:58:35All right.
00:58:36I overheard them talking on the telephone.
00:58:39I listened on the extension.
00:58:40Didn't you recognize the man's voice?
00:58:45No.
00:58:46But you do now.
00:58:53You evidently thought you were safe.
00:58:55That when she was dead that was the end of the matter.
00:58:59Did you really imagine that I'd accept her death without making every effort to find out how it happened?
00:59:22Come here.
00:59:30That's where she fell, isn't it?
00:59:33I don't know. I wasn't here.
00:59:35You tried to get money out of her because you thought she was being unfaithful.
00:59:39Then when that was no good you poisoned the child's mind against her.
00:59:43You might just as well have killed her yourself.
00:59:46And just as guilty this way.
00:59:55What was that for?
00:59:57I don't like being locked in a room with a madman.
01:00:02I can get that key from you any time I like.
01:00:04If you don't let me out of here I'll scream.
01:00:06There's no one to hear you.
01:00:08The gardener's here. He'll hear me.
01:00:10Why don't you scream then?
01:00:12Because I want to give you the opportunity of letting us get out of here with dignity.
01:00:15The gardener goes over to his sisters on Friday nights. This is Friday night.
01:00:19Let me out of here.
01:00:20He told me so himself. That's why I picked tonight.
01:00:25He's not at his sisters. He's here.
01:00:28That's him playing the organ. No one else ever plays it.
01:00:31You can't do anything to me now. He'll be back soon.
01:00:33Not soon enough.
01:00:34You're raving mad.
01:00:35I'm going to make you do to yourself what you did to her.
01:00:37They call me. I won't. I won't.
01:00:39It's like suicide.
01:00:40The organ's stopped. He'll be back. He'll be back here.
01:01:06Don't let me out of here.
01:01:06Hope! Help! Help! Help! Help! Help!
01:01:12Don't let me out of here. Don't let me out of here.
01:01:14Help! Help! Help!
01:01:44Help! Help!
01:02:13Help! Help!
01:02:54Help! Help!
01:03:17Help!
01:03:23Help!
01:03:34Help!
01:03:35Help!
01:03:38Help!
01:03:40Help!
01:03:40Oh, man.
01:03:41But then the pieces had him broken like a delicious end.
01:03:51He turned out the way that the world fulfilled the dream.
01:03:59The wages and the sunshine and salt regretted him.
01:04:06In the future, in the future, in the future.

01:08:02OUTER
01:08:03CAN YOU HELP ME
01:08:03I'VE RUN OFF THE ROAD
01:08:04MY CAR'S DITCHED
01:08:05I'm afraid I can't stop. I'm in a hurry.
01:08:07Well, perhaps it'd be good enough to give me a lift.
01:08:08No, I'm sorry. I'm afraid I can't. I've got an urgent case.
01:08:12You a doctor?
01:08:13Yes.
01:08:14Well, this is luck. My name's Farrell. I have a practice here.
01:08:17There's a kid up the road, badly injured.
01:08:18I've just been to telephone for an ambulance. I have to get back to her.
01:08:21What are you making for?
01:08:23Up this way.
01:08:24Oh. Well, I'd better leave the car where it is and hop in with you.
01:08:35Oh, just a minute. I must get my bag.
01:08:59The ambulance will never make it in this fog.
01:09:01How far are you going?
01:09:03I'm not quite sure where it is from here.
01:09:05I know this district. Perhaps I can help you.
01:09:07No, I don't think you can. It's a long way.
01:09:10Are you a London man?
01:09:12Yes.
01:09:12Have you had any experience with fractured skulls?
01:09:16Quite a lot.
01:09:18Oh, could have used you tonight.
01:09:20Why do you have to turn up when it's too late?
01:09:21What could you have used me for?
01:09:23This kiddie I was telling you about.
01:09:25Road accident, was it?
01:09:26Yes. Lolly ran into a private car on the farm.
01:09:30Kiddie was in the back and seemed to have taken most of the bump.
01:09:32She's unconscious now and bleeding from a cut over the right ear.
01:09:35It's very suggestive of a middle meningeal hemorrhage.
01:09:39Did she regain consciousness at all?
01:09:41Yes, she did for a time and seemed pretty well.
01:09:43That's what gave me a clue.
01:09:45Probably right.
01:09:47The fog seems to be lifting a bit.
01:09:49Yes, here's the turning.
01:09:51We're almost there.
01:09:53Well, at least I can be in at the death.
01:09:55I don't think I should jump to conclusions.
01:09:58I've seen extraordinary recoveries from head injuries.
01:10:01I guess we've all seen extraordinary things happen, but I never expect them.
01:10:04And I certainly don't care one way or the other.
01:10:07I always thought I cared very much.
01:10:10I never liked losing a patient.
01:10:12Well, that's the sort of sentimentality you get over when you've killed as many patients as I have.
01:10:16I don't think so.
01:10:19I've always resented the fact that one can't choose.
01:10:22Can't choose what?
01:10:24Which patients to kill.
01:10:28Well, then as a doctor, you must be in a constant state of frustration.
01:10:31In your case, let's say, vanity is involved, not sentimentality.
01:10:35But whatever it is, it's just as bad.
01:10:37Man doesn't have any generous feelings.
01:10:39He only thinks he has.
01:10:41Selfishness, habit, and hard cash.
01:10:43Those are his real motives.
01:10:44Looked at from that angle, life can hardly be worth living.
01:10:47It isn't.
01:10:48But I've done my share of enjoying it.
01:10:50Just up here.
01:10:52Now for another scene with the mother.
01:10:53Why did it have to be my daughter and all that?
01:10:56What's your answer to that one?
01:10:58Better your daughter than mine, madam, I'd say, if I were honest.
01:11:01How old is this girl?
01:11:02Oh, just a child.
01:11:03About 12.
01:11:0412?
01:11:06Have you any children?
01:11:08No.
01:11:10Here we are.
01:11:10Stop.
01:11:16Oh, I suppose I couldn't persuade you to look in for a moment and give a little presence to the
01:11:20case.
01:11:21It's always a great comfort of the parent to have a second opinion, say there's no hope.
01:11:26Maybe there is hope.
01:11:28She's still alive, isn't she?
01:11:30Mm.
01:11:31Mm.
01:11:36Is this where they are?
01:11:37Yes, good evening, ma.
01:11:38Oh, believe me, Dr. Farrell.
01:11:40Terrible night, sir.
01:11:40Yes, isn't it?
01:11:41Nice mess they made of that car.
01:11:49Oh, doctor, we thought you'd never get back.
01:11:51I, uh, I managed to get another opinion.
01:11:53This is doctor, uh...
01:11:54Where's the patient?
01:11:55Oh, doctor, she still hasn't moved.
01:12:14You've got a torch.
01:12:15Ah, thank you.
01:12:25I'll take them.
01:12:27I'll take them.
01:12:45Yes, you're quite right.
01:12:47She's bleeding from the middleman in jail.
01:12:50Which will be all right.
01:12:56I'll operate now.
01:12:58What, in this place?
01:12:59We've got a large saucepan or fish kettle.
01:13:01I want to sterilize my instruments.
01:13:03And, uh, I shall need some clean sheets.
01:13:07I've got my instruments in the car.
01:13:21It's not worth taking a chance.
01:13:23If she dies during the operation, there'll be an inquiry.
01:13:25You never know how those things are going to turn out.
01:13:27Nobody's going to take a chance.
01:13:28That child's going to die in half now.
01:13:30It's no good pretending we can get her to hospital in that time.
01:13:32It's up to us to try and relieve the pressure before it happens.
01:13:35Maybe I can secure an artery.
01:13:37At least I can do a decompression.
01:13:38It'll give you time to get her to hospital.
01:13:39Well, that's a job for a specialist.
01:13:41I wouldn't touch it.
01:13:42It'll be all right.
01:13:50Well?
01:13:50It was this way.
01:13:51We come out of the bend.
01:13:52We couldn't have been doing more than eight miles an hour.
01:13:54There's a grinding noise and we'd had it.
01:13:56Ah, sure, that's women drive us all over.
01:13:58They never look where they're going.
01:14:00She was gazing at the side of the road with Tivola glance in front of her.
01:14:03You should have swerved over.
01:14:04How could we?
01:14:05We never saw her until she was honest.
01:14:06And then she was going on the wrong side of the road.
01:14:08Well, one of you better come with me and show me what's what.
01:14:11All right.
01:14:26Fix that onto the chill.
01:14:48There'll be an inquest.
01:14:50Well, let's, if...
01:14:52It's no use thinking about that now.
01:14:53After all, it wasn't your fault.
01:14:56I had a clean license.
01:15:14Respiration's failing.
01:15:16Have you got any car, man?
01:15:17I don't carry it.
01:15:17I got some in my car.
01:15:19Small box in front of it.
01:15:46I got some in my car.
01:16:03It wasn't in the front, but I found it.
01:16:14Quickly.
01:16:38It's almost one of this.
01:17:07That was a good job.
01:17:11I hope so.
01:17:12It's your line, I suppose.
01:17:14Yes.
01:17:17She has a good fighting chance now.
01:17:19It gives you a feeling of elation, a feeling of control over people's destinies.
01:17:24You'll find that?
01:17:25Certainly not.
01:17:26I was trying to assess your reactions.
01:17:28A spectacular recovery, of course, would do my practice a world of good.
01:17:31Apart from that, it's all one to me whether she recovers or not.
01:17:35You expect everyone else to feel like that?
01:17:37Not you.
01:17:38I'm not speaking of obsessionals.
01:17:39I'm speaking of the normal, the perfectly sane.
01:17:42Let me put it this way.
01:17:44The vessel which we normal people use for imbibing experience is a stout austerity model, which
01:17:50doesn't crack.
01:17:51With others, like yourself, that lasts though of superior design, cracks quite easily.
01:17:56Now, instead of leaving it upturned on a shelf, a danger to all, it should be thrown away.
01:18:05I don't accept your diagnosis.
01:18:10The doctor dispenses death and healing with blind impartiality.
01:18:14He's not supposed to weigh the merits of an individual case and exercise a sense of justice.
01:18:19I resent that.
01:18:22What I did today.
01:18:25And you know what I'm talking about.
01:18:27It was just.
01:18:29It was a gesture of independence by a sense of justice which years of professional practice
01:18:34have threatened with atrophy.
01:18:37Today, I sat in judgment.
01:18:40Oh.
01:18:43Paranoia.
01:18:44My diagnosis was quite correct.
01:18:47You are mad.
01:18:49Who's the owner of that car outside?
01:18:52That must be Dr. Farrell's car.
01:18:54Dr. Farrell?
01:18:55There ain't Dr. Farrell's car.
01:18:56It'll be black.
01:18:57That must be the owner.
01:18:59Who's he?
01:18:59Dr. Farrell's car must be your side, son.
01:19:02Very good.
01:19:04There ain't Dr. Farrell's car.
01:19:15She looks better, doesn't she?
01:19:17Yes.
01:19:18Her colour's good.
01:19:19Beginning to look very different.
01:19:21He was wonderful.
01:19:23I shall never be able to thank him.
01:19:27Where is he?
01:19:29I don't know.
01:19:31Look, Doctor, she moved.
01:19:33Oh, we must expect that now that she intends to live.
01:19:36Are you the owner of that car outside?
01:19:38No.
01:19:39Who does it belong to?
01:19:41I don't know.
01:19:42Why?
01:19:43I nearly ran right into it.
01:19:44He's parked outside without a real light.
01:19:47Oh, is that all?
01:20:22I'm going to relate the case history of the matter of this class.
01:20:25Perfectly sane, valuable member of society.
01:20:28And you ain't like those paradoxes.
01:20:30It's just someone about you.
01:20:31Yes.
01:20:32He was passionate of mine.
01:20:33Is it everything, sir?
01:20:34No, he was perfectly sane.
01:20:37The same as I am.
01:20:38Not you.
01:20:39I'm not speaking of obsessionals.
01:20:41I'm speaking of the normal, perfectly sane.
01:20:43There's nothing.
01:20:52No!
01:21:00No, please, hardlyui.
01:21:12Very good.
01:21:32When I did today, it was just.
01:21:35It was a gesture of independence by a sense of justice
01:21:37which years of professional practice have threatened with atrophy.
01:21:41Today, I sat in judgment.
01:21:44Paranoia. My diagnosis was quite correct.
01:21:47You are mad.
01:21:48You're raging mad!
01:21:50You're raging mad!
01:21:52You're raging mad!
01:22:13You're raging mad!
01:22:15You're raging mad!
01:22:17You're raging mad!
01:22:42THE END
01:23:15THE END
