00:04:06THE END
00:04:23Oh, my God.
00:05:01It is you, Phyllis.
00:05:13Well, I've seen you, a liar.
00:05:29When I saw you at the surface, I almost fainted.
00:05:34It was like attending one's own funeral.
00:05:38A rather an amusing experience.
00:05:40I saw you just as they called your name.
00:05:43Well, thank you for the reading, Deborah.
00:05:46It was rather touching.
00:05:48It was like seeing a ghost.
00:05:52It was a ghost you saw.
00:05:55Philip Bowles died in the war.
00:05:59My name is Julian Ackroyd.
00:06:03Julian Ackroyd.
00:06:04Yes.
00:06:06It suited my purpose to let Philip Bowles remain dead.
00:06:12It seemed to me there was so little of him that it was worth revising.
00:06:17You'll always be Philip Bowles to me.
00:06:21Oh, my dear, if you only knew how I'd miss you.
00:06:26Oh, come now, Deborah.
00:06:29Must we go into all that?
00:06:30Oh, my dear.
00:06:36Aren't you glad to see me, Philip?
00:06:39Just a little bit glad?
00:06:42I can't say that I am, Deborah.
00:06:44After all, our life together was not exactly harmonious.
00:06:49It was.
00:06:50Until Faith came along.
00:06:53It was that beastly temper of yours.
00:06:55You were so confoundedly jealous.
00:06:58How could I help being jealous, Philip?
00:07:01It was because I loved you.
00:07:03I still do.
00:07:06Constantly in a woman, my dear Deborah, have never appealed to me.
00:07:09You're a beast, Philip.
00:07:12Julian.
00:07:12Julian Ackroyd, if you don't mind.
00:07:14Will you have a brandy?
00:07:26Let us drink to the memory of Philip Bowles.
00:07:31But only a memory, Deborah.
00:07:35You weren't even a memory of Faith.
00:07:40No.
00:07:41She married again, you know.
00:07:45Married?
00:07:47Faith?
00:07:49Who did she marry?
00:07:50Oh, that interests you.
00:07:52Is she fair?
00:07:54In London?
00:08:00I haven't sustained it.
00:08:02Idea.
00:08:06You are a liar, Deborah.
00:08:11What a dear, innocent little thing she was.
00:08:15Innocence?
00:08:16That woman?
00:08:17Who'd come between us?
00:08:19Who'd break up our life?
00:08:21Oh, don't talk like a fool, Deborah.
00:08:24She didn't even know that you existed until after I married her.
00:08:27If it hadn't been for her, you'd never have left me.
00:08:31You flatter yourself.
00:08:32I hate her.
00:08:35Still the same old vengeful Deborah.
00:08:38You'll still love her.
00:08:42I wonder.
00:08:44You'll want to see her.
00:08:47Naturally, I want to see her.
00:08:56Philip, you're ill.
00:09:02It's nothing.
00:09:04You're not looking at all well, Philip.
00:09:07Where have you been all these years?
00:09:10Oh, on the continent for the most part.
00:09:13Vienna.
00:09:14Are you going to stay here in London?
00:09:17I've never stayed long anywhere.
00:09:20Well, while you're here, won't you let me see you?
00:09:25You talk about the past.
00:09:28We used to be so happy together, Philip.
00:09:31We can be again.
00:09:34Deborah.
00:09:37There's only one thing you can do to make me happy.
00:09:42Philip.
00:09:43Philip, I'll do anything.
00:09:45Well then, Deborah.
00:09:48Take yourself out of my life.
00:09:50And stay.
00:10:12Mr. Charles.
00:10:16Call up Dr.
00:10:18Dr. Edward Jones.
00:10:20And make an appointment.
00:10:22Tomorrow morning.
00:10:25Yes, ma'am.
00:10:36You weren't even a memory.
00:10:39Hey.
00:11:19John.
00:11:20This is the highest honor that can be conferred upon a doctor.
00:11:24You didn't know that.
00:11:26Oh, never mind, darling.
00:11:28You'll manage to live that down.
00:11:30You know, I adore your being so famous.
00:11:33Every woman in London will envy me.
00:11:37But it isn't your greatness that I love John.
00:11:41It's you.
00:11:42And I owe most of it to you, darling.
00:11:46You've been my incentive.
00:11:48Have I, dear?
00:11:50It's only when you love someone that I love you.
00:11:53That it's worth while forging ahead.
00:11:57But sometimes I'm a little afraid that you might forward so far ahead you need me.
00:12:05Don't be afraid.
00:12:07Oh, I can't stop it, darling.
00:12:10When we were poor and struggling, I felt as if nothing in the world could ever take you away from
00:12:15me.
00:12:16But now...
00:12:17And now...
00:12:19Nothing ever can.
00:12:22You're sure, dear?
00:12:36You're sure, dear?
00:12:42Excuse me, dear.
00:12:51Hello, Faith.
00:12:53What do you want?
00:12:54I just dropped in.
00:12:56It's been so long since you and I...
00:12:58You can have nothing to say to me, Miss Payne.
00:13:00Oh.
00:13:01I thought it might interest you to know that...
00:13:04Philip is in London.
00:13:07Philip.
00:13:08Your husband.
00:13:10Philip is dead.
00:13:11I'm a country, my dear.
00:13:12He's alarmingly alive.
00:13:19Come up to me.
00:13:21Just read up, you dear.
00:13:48You say you saw Philip?
00:13:51Yes.
00:13:52I went to the memorial service.
00:13:53And he was there.
00:13:55It was really quite dramatic.
00:13:57I'm afraid he was a little hurt that he neglected to send some flowers.
00:14:01I sent a reason.
00:14:03You mistook someone else for him.
00:14:06There is only one Philip.
00:14:08You ought to know that.
00:14:10No, I don't believe you.
00:14:13You're up to some game.
00:14:14No, I don't believe you.
00:14:25Westminster 0043.
00:14:28I want to speak to Mr. Julian Aykroyd, please.
00:14:33That's why he calls himself now.
00:14:46Hello?
00:14:53Hello?
00:14:56Hello?
00:14:57Hello?
00:14:58Tell me what you want.
00:15:06Sit down, darling.
00:15:18I'm sorry.
00:15:19Thoughtless of him to turn up after all these years.
00:15:22It will create quite a scandal.
00:15:31Headlines, darling.
00:15:32Big headlines.
00:15:34Scandal in the life of Lady Marley.
00:15:37Said John Marley's disgraceful madam.
00:15:41And then it'll all come up.
00:15:42Even those loving letters of yours.
00:15:47What letters?
00:15:49Why, the letters you wrote Philip.
00:15:50Before the clergy and the state restored you, so to speak.
00:15:55In the eyes of society.
00:15:57Philip wouldn't dare.
00:15:59But I would, my dear.
00:16:01You?
00:16:02I found them in Philip's apartment after he went to the camp.
00:16:05And I took them.
00:16:06You stole them.
00:16:08It would pay you to be polite to me.
00:16:11I took them.
00:16:13And I've always treasured them.
00:16:17One would hardly think, from looking at you, that you are capable of writing such fervent letters.
00:16:25If your husband saw them, they'd take quite a lot of explaining.
00:16:29I've told my husband everything.
00:16:31He knows all about them.
00:16:34How would he like his new associates with the Royal Society to know about them?
00:16:38I'd think the scandal would ruin him.
00:16:42Oh.
00:16:43I must go and tell him at once.
00:16:46Go and tell him.
00:16:48And I'll see to it that the morning papers carry the whole ugly story.
00:16:53Oh, no.
00:16:56I'm the only one who can help you now.
00:16:59And it will be a genuine pleasure.
00:17:02Although a trifle expensive.
00:17:04Expensive?
00:17:05You've had your way long enough.
00:17:08Now I have the upper hand.
00:17:10If you are reasonable, everything can be herself.
00:17:14I can handle Philip.
00:17:16And you can go on being the great Lady Marley.
00:17:20And live in luxury and splendor and all the rest of it.
00:17:24If not, well...
00:17:27How much do you want?
00:17:29Shall we say, uh...
00:17:31Five hundred pounds?
00:17:33Five hundred?
00:17:34Well, that's cheap.
00:17:35If I could just as well, instead of a thousand.
00:17:38Then you'll give me the lesson.
00:17:40Oh, one of these days, perhaps.
00:17:42But don't think you'll get off by writing a few checks.
00:17:45It's not the money I care about.
00:17:48It's to show you that I am in control now.
00:17:51To make you suffer as I suffer.
00:18:10Make it out to cash, dear.
00:18:12It's more negotiable.
00:18:29You promise you'll do nothing?
00:18:33Just as long as it suits my purpose.
00:18:44And just so that you won't forget me, every morning, Sir John will get a postcard.
00:18:51And they'll be blank just as long as you behave.
00:19:15Hello.
00:19:17There's another of these wretched blank postcards.
00:19:21It's clear writing, isn't it?
00:19:24First of all, I thought it was disguised.
00:19:30The characters perfectly half a dozen times is a bit, um...
00:19:35Which do you think they are, darling?
00:19:37A man's or a woman's writing?
00:19:39Why, I don't know.
00:19:41I'll bet it's a woman.
00:19:43What her object can be is beyond me.
00:19:46It is just the name and address in the Westminster postcards.
00:19:53Well, I shall send them on to Scotland Yard.
00:19:55Oh, I wouldn't do that, darling.
00:19:58Why not here?
00:19:59Well, I hate having anything to do with the police.
00:20:02And then it might get into the newspaper.
00:20:04Oh, nonsense.
00:20:06Well, I'd break a file if it's probably stuck.
00:20:10But darling, I want to know.
00:20:11I'm curious about you.
00:20:14You're wandering on the other telephone, m'lady.
00:20:17Oh.
00:20:18Who is it, Shirley?
00:20:19A lady.
00:20:20She wouldn't give her name.
00:20:24Excuse me, darling.
00:20:45Hello?
00:20:46Hello, Faith, darling.
00:20:47I wonder if you could let me have 500 pounds.
00:20:50I can't.
00:20:51I haven't got it.
00:20:53Ask your husband for it.
00:20:54I'm sure he won't refuse you to take a trifling sum.
00:20:57No, but I simply can't.
00:20:59He'd ask me what I wanted it for.
00:21:01I'm afraid I must insist.
00:21:04But it's impossible, I tell you.
00:21:06Why I gave you 500 pounds only last week?
00:21:09I don't care how you get it.
00:21:10Get it and bring it here tonight at 8.
00:21:14Wait.
00:21:19Let's go.
00:21:30Hello.
00:21:31Mr. John Marley.
00:21:32Yes.
00:21:33Mr. John Marley.
00:21:33This is Dr. Jones.
00:21:34Oh, how do you do?
00:21:35If you remember, I'd call a phone to the phone.
00:21:37It's about a second time.
00:21:38It's Julian Ackroyd.
00:21:39Yes.
00:21:41Julian Ackroyd, you say?
00:21:42Yes.
00:21:42Very urgent.
00:21:43Well, of course, I'll see if it's as urgent as all that.
00:21:46Sir, I'll take a bullet now.
00:21:47Quite certainly.
00:21:48Any time will be convenient.
00:21:50The name is Julian Ackroyd.
00:21:53Goodbye.
00:22:04John, dear.
00:22:05Sorry.
00:22:07I wonder if you could let me have some money.
00:22:10Why, of course, dear.
00:22:11How much do you want?
00:22:13500 pounds.
00:22:19500 pounds?
00:22:21Oh, I know.
00:22:22I've been rather extravagant lately.
00:22:24Oh, that's all right, dear.
00:22:25It isn't that.
00:22:27But, frankly, I've been investing my funds.
00:22:31And I haven't so much in the bank.
00:22:44Nothing so simple.
00:22:45I can't have money.
00:22:46I can't do it.
00:22:48I can't do it.
00:22:56You hurt me?
00:22:57Okay, that's fine.
00:22:57I'm not sure.
00:22:58You hurt me?
00:23:02I can't do it.
00:23:05There is no doubt.
00:23:07That's fine.
00:23:07So, what is that?
00:23:07I can't do anything.
00:23:11You hurt me?
00:24:41What do you want?
00:24:43You are...
00:24:45Maiden Marley?
00:24:47You are here like that woman.
00:24:52What woman?
00:24:54Deborah Cain.
00:24:55Deborah?
00:24:58She has those letters.
00:24:59I wrote her before we were married.
00:25:02Is that right?
00:25:04She found them in your apartment after we went to the war.
00:25:06She threatened me to publish them.
00:25:08Oh, don't you?
00:25:09Oh, I might have known.
00:25:11I can never be clean of your hands.
00:25:14Oh, please go.
00:25:16But I am here.
00:25:17You see Maiden.
00:25:24Well, after all, it doesn't matter very much.
00:25:32What are you there?
00:25:33No!
00:25:34Oh, hey.
00:25:39Oh, hey.
00:25:42You are here.
00:25:43You are here.
00:25:44You are here.
00:25:55You are here.
00:25:58What do you want to avoid?
00:25:59If it were only the money she wanted.
00:26:02But it's revenge.
00:26:05You've been giving her money?
00:26:07Yes.
00:26:09And she's hurting you for more?
00:26:12Yes.
00:26:13Tonight.
00:26:15Why don't you refuse?
00:26:17Oh, I don't dare.
00:26:19She'd stop at nothing.
00:26:21And if it were ever known, the scandal would ruin him.
00:26:25Oh, you don't understand.
00:26:27Oh, I do.
00:26:28It would break him.
00:26:30He's worked so hard for his success.
00:26:33And no one is going to take it away from him.
00:26:39You seem attached to this husband of yours.
00:26:44I love you.
00:26:49Did Deborah agree to give you these letters?
00:26:52She said she would.
00:26:55Hers is not a very forgiving nature.
00:26:58It will go on in you?
00:27:01Unless I can persuade her to give them to me.
00:27:03Oh, she wouldn't.
00:27:06But what a time would she do anything I'd say.
00:27:11Oh, if you only could.
00:27:13I could try.
00:27:16Where does she live?
00:27:18Forty-four.
00:27:20Forty-four college.
00:27:24Does Marley know of her?
00:27:26No.
00:27:27Is that Roy's waiting for you, sir?
00:27:29There he is now.
00:27:30Oh, promise me you won't tell him who you are, sir.
00:27:34Promise.
00:27:44Sorry to have kept you waiting, sir, Ackroyd.
00:27:47Oh, that's quite all right.
00:27:50I had these made at Dr. Jones's suggestion.
00:27:53Oh, yes.
00:27:55Here is his letter.
00:28:02Yes, Dr. Jones telephoned to me that he made a complete examination of you.
00:28:06And he wishes me to verify his diagnosis.
00:28:09If you'll just step over there, I'll have a look at you through the, the horoscope.
00:28:13Just stand over there, will you?
00:28:14Or you might loosen your coat.
00:28:21Wait, sir.
00:28:34Stand on the platform.
00:28:37Yeah?
00:28:38Right.
00:28:39Pull back your coat.
00:29:06Stand on.
00:29:08Stand on.
00:29:15Well, Doctor.
00:29:18Tell me, Ackroyd.
00:29:20Do you, uh, live here in England?
00:29:23Uh, no.
00:29:25Abroad, mostly.
00:29:26Yes.
00:29:27I take it you've lived, uh, shall we say, rather immoderately?
00:29:33In moderation, Doctor.
00:29:35In a virtue I admire, only in others.
00:29:39Oh, thank you.
00:29:43Can you touch me here?
00:29:46Well, sometimes it's rather terrible.
00:29:50I expect so, poor fellow.
00:29:52Well, you will have to go slow.
00:29:57Now, what do you mean?
00:29:59You have what's known as an aneurysm of the aorta.
00:30:07Well, of course, that's just a name to meaning.
00:30:09Yes, quite.
00:30:10I'll try and expect it to you.
00:30:11The large artery of the house is stretched to the utmost limit.
00:30:16It's, it's like carrying a live bomb in your breast.
00:30:23You will, uh, you will have to cut out everything.
00:30:28Great, particularly.
00:30:30And, uh, well, you know what I mean, you're a man of the word.
00:30:36Everything.
00:30:38You really mean that.
00:30:41Go on as you are going.
00:30:43And I'm bound to tell you in all pressure.
00:30:46That in my opinion,
00:30:50there's little...
00:30:51out.
00:31:02Are you telling me
00:31:05that I'm going to...
00:31:07die?
00:31:15I can only counsel you
00:31:17that the least exertion,
00:31:20the least over-excitement,
00:31:23may cause that bomb.
00:31:26You, sir?
00:31:45Okay.
00:31:46Let's go.
00:31:48Go.
00:32:19You should tell your wife, Molly.
00:32:22But I'm going to die soon.
00:32:25My wife?
00:32:27Why?
00:32:29It would cheer her up enormously.
00:32:34What are you driving at, Ackroyd?
00:32:37Not Ackroyd.
00:32:40Vose.
00:32:42Philip Vose.
00:32:46Vose?
00:32:48Oh, you, you must imagine Philip Vose was killed in the war.
00:32:58Incorrectly reported submission.
00:33:04You are Philip Vose?
00:33:07I am.
00:33:12And you came here deliberately knowing this?
00:33:16I hadn't the remotest idea that Faith was married to you.
00:33:20You've seen her?
00:33:22Yes.
00:33:22She knew you, of course.
00:33:24She could hardly have forgotten.
00:33:26She has forgotten?
00:33:29We've both forgotten the past.
00:33:34Some of us are left with nothing but the past.
00:33:36Then, for heaven's sake, bury it decently.
00:33:42That isn't always so easy, Molly.
00:33:44No.
00:33:45Faith is the only woman I ever gave a hang for.
00:33:48Gave a hang for?
00:33:49Well, through my own fault, I lost her.
00:33:55Take care that you don't lose her, too.
00:33:59What do you mean?
00:34:02Ask Faith.
00:34:04I'm asking you.
00:34:09Well, ask her.
00:34:12Goodbye, Molly.
00:34:14Where are you going?
00:34:19If my health permits,
00:34:21on some rather vital business
00:34:24which concerns Faith's domestic happiness.
00:34:29What business?
00:34:32A certain woman here in London
00:34:35has some rather faithful letters,
00:34:39old ones written by Faith to me,
00:34:41and which in the wrong hand might injure Faith?
00:34:46And what has that to do with you?
00:34:50I've promised Faith to try to get...
00:34:51Look here, O'Bose!
00:34:55Ill as you are.
00:34:57Please don't interfere with my affair.
00:35:02Where does this woman live?
00:35:0644, Beaufort Hall, Court.
00:35:11What's her name?
00:35:13Deborah Kane.
00:35:15But I warn you, Molly,
00:35:17you'll have no success with her.
00:35:20We shall see.
00:35:27Goodbye.
00:35:42Goodbye.
00:35:43Goodbye.
00:35:53Goodbye.
00:35:57Goodbye.
00:36:00Goodbye.
00:36:01Goodbye.
00:36:01Goodbye.
00:36:02Goodbye.
00:36:04Goodbye.
00:36:07Goodbye.
00:36:08Goodbye.
00:36:08Goodbye.
00:36:09Goodbye.
00:36:10Goodbye.
00:36:10Goodbye.
00:36:21I thought perhaps I'd better open another bottle of energy, Miss, before I go.
00:36:25Yes.
00:36:28Well, you want to be off, don't you?
00:36:30That's right.
00:36:31You see, I promised to meet my husband, Miss.
00:36:33What keeps him waiting is liable to fall into one of his knees.
00:36:37As you know our husbands are, Miss.
00:36:40Miss, I never had one.
00:36:42Oh, I thought so, yes.
00:36:45For as far as husbands go, my old man ain't so bad.
00:36:50Yes, it's false.
00:36:52There's no rule, hasn't.
00:36:55Good night.
00:36:56Good night, Barney.
00:36:58Now, if I haven't been and gone, I've got to tell you.
00:37:02If you could be wanting the list, it ain't no use to me.
00:37:06The port has been took six.
00:37:08The boy don't come on till 10.
00:37:11All right, all right, Barney.
00:37:13Good night.
00:37:14Good night.
00:37:22Good night.
00:38:02Well?
00:38:08I came to tell you I couldn't get the money.
00:38:14No?
00:38:16You didn't try.
00:38:18Oh, I did.
00:38:19I went straight down after you phoned and asked my husband for a check.
00:38:24Then why didn't he give it to you?
00:38:27Well, he said he was a little hard up.
00:38:31Hard up?
00:38:33Sir John Marley, do you expect me to believe that?
00:38:39Well, anyone can be hard up at times.
00:38:41When did he say he'd give it to you?
00:38:43Well, he didn't say.
00:38:45I couldn't press him very hard.
00:38:47He might have asked me what I wanted it for.
00:38:50Well, I've got to have it.
00:38:58Who is that?
00:39:00How should I know?
00:39:03I mustn't be seen here.
00:39:05Oh, don't be a fool.
00:39:10Come here.
00:39:16I'll get rid of whoever it is.
00:39:18You go in there.
00:39:22Go in.
00:39:23Go in.
00:39:40Miss Kane?
00:39:41Yes.
00:39:44My name is Marley.
00:39:46Sir John Marley.
00:39:51Come in, Sir John.
00:39:53Thanks.
00:40:13Oh, Miss Kane, you've heard about me from my wife.
00:40:15Oh, yes.
00:40:17But that doesn't explain how you've heard of me.
00:40:20Lots of information gets around.
00:40:23That doesn't really matter.
00:40:25But what does matter is to keep that information
00:40:27within decent limits.
00:40:35Did you come here to tell me that?
00:40:37Exactly.
00:40:42Miss Kane,
00:40:43you have some letters written by my wife
00:40:46some years ago
00:40:47to a man named Philip Vaux.
00:40:50Yes.
00:40:51Her husband.
00:40:53Myself.
00:40:54Her husband.
00:40:56Well, I want those letters, please.
00:40:58I'm afraid they're rather expensive.
00:41:01Yes.
00:41:03I don't intend to pay for them.
00:41:05No.
00:41:07I want you to give them to me.
00:41:09Are you treating me like a child?
00:41:11The band is rather a childish occupation.
00:41:15And as a rule,
00:41:17extremely dangerous.
00:41:23You are interfering with the happiness
00:41:25of my wife and myself.
00:41:28I intend to put a stop to that interference.
00:41:33Terminacy.
00:41:34I'm not easily frightened,
00:41:37Mr. Jones.
00:41:39Well, I'm merely telling you
00:41:40what I'm going to do.
00:41:43If your silence
00:41:46against my silence...
00:41:48If I did a little less experience of men,
00:41:51I might take you seriously.
00:41:53If you had a little more experience of me,
00:41:57you would.
00:42:02Give me your hand.
00:42:09Scott, what are you doing?
00:42:10What is it?
00:42:11What have you done?
00:42:13Just a gold pencil.
00:42:19How dare you?
00:42:21You...
00:42:22I want your silence.
00:42:23Well, it'll take more than a gold pencil
00:42:25to get it.
00:42:27There are many ways of doing
00:42:28what you may force me to do,
00:42:29Miss Kane.
00:42:31Some stranger brushing up against you
00:42:34in a crowded shop.
00:42:37A slightly bitter taste in your...
00:42:40Oh, you understand.
00:42:43We shall be playing on each other's nerves,
00:42:45Miss Kane.
00:42:46And I fancy my nerves
00:42:48are stronger than yours.
00:42:52Think it over.
00:43:00I am now going upstairs
00:43:03to see my friend, Dr. Smite.
00:43:05And I shall return later in the evening
00:43:07for your answer.
00:43:08Do, sir, John.
00:43:10I'll be delighted to see you.
00:43:35So you arranged this double-barreled visit
00:43:38between you.
00:43:40How terrible that you should know.
00:43:43Didn't you tell him?
00:43:45No.
00:43:47Who else could have told him?
00:43:50Phyllis.
00:43:51Phyllis must have told him.
00:43:54Phyllis?
00:43:56Phyllis Bowles?
00:43:58You say Phyllis told him?
00:44:01When?
00:44:02How?
00:44:02Well, this afternoon, I suppose.
00:44:05I beg him not to.
00:44:08You've seen him?
00:44:10Well, yes.
00:44:11This afternoon.
00:44:13He came to see you.
00:44:15Oh, no, no, no.
00:44:17To see my husband.
00:44:19That's a lie.
00:44:21It was you he came to see.
00:44:24You're still lovers.
00:44:27Oh, no, no, no, he came because he was ill.
00:44:32He came to see you because he was ill?
00:44:35Oh, you don't understand.
00:44:38Oh, don't I?
00:44:41You've got the man you call your husband, home, love, all the luck, all the simple, easy
00:44:50things.
00:44:51But it isn't enough for you.
00:44:54You want Philip, too.
00:44:56You want a little excitement.
00:44:58Well, you shall have it.
00:45:00Oh, no, no, please.
00:45:01You don't understand.
00:45:03Philip means nothing to me.
00:45:05Nothing.
00:45:05Doesn't it?
00:45:07You and he again.
00:45:09You and he again.
00:45:11It just wanted that to finish me.
00:45:15Oh, no, please.
00:45:16Stop not.
00:45:17Oh, no.
00:45:19Get out.
00:45:20Please.
00:45:21Get out of here.
00:45:22Get out of my house.
00:45:23Get out.
00:45:27You and me again.
00:45:30Oh, Philip.
00:45:54Will you please come up and get a note?
00:46:21Good evening.
00:46:22Good evening, Freddy.
00:46:24A gentleman just passed to the flat above who looks like Sir John Marley, whose picture's
00:46:29been in all the papers.
00:46:30Oh, that's right, miss.
00:46:31I thought I recognized him, miss.
00:46:33He's gone upstairs to Dr. Smythman.
00:46:34Will you take it, you and Freddy?
00:46:37Seven minutes.
00:46:51Fleet 8000.
00:46:58Hello?
00:46:59This is the London Cable Office.
00:47:01Yes, ma'am.
00:47:01I have some interesting information about Sir John Marley.
00:47:05Who's the past?
00:47:06I say, I have some interesting information about Sir John Marley.
00:47:10Whom can I speak to?
00:47:12Yes, ma'am.
00:47:16I'm riding on the telephone, please.
00:47:20City editor speaking.
00:47:22This is Deborah Payne, 44 Beaufort Hall Court, Westminster.
00:47:27Uh, can't you give me your story over the telephone?
00:47:29No, not over the telephone.
00:47:31Will you send up one of your reporters, please?
00:47:33That is very unusual, madam.
00:47:35This is no fool's errand, I promise you.
00:47:37Very good, I'll send them out, madam.
00:48:04Who says that I can't climb a slice of stairs, huh?
00:48:14It's all right.
00:48:16Come on, Mr. Martin.
00:48:19Thank you, my dear.
00:48:21I suppose you're a lot of surprise to see me here, aren't you?
00:48:28Well, for my word.
00:48:30Oh, thank you, dear.
00:48:31This is rather...
00:48:33I think it's a place you have here.
00:48:35You like it, Philip?
00:48:37Well, rather.
00:48:39Yes.
00:48:40I should come here, my dear.
00:48:44Let me look at you.
00:48:47Well, you are looking splendid.
00:48:51Yes.
00:48:53Splendid woman, Deborah.
00:48:55In this life.
00:48:59Oh, my dear.
00:49:02Well, now.
00:49:03Tell me, have you nothing to say?
00:49:05Philip, you're drunk.
00:49:07Yes.
00:49:09Celebrating an early funeral.
00:49:12You're going to die, Sir Dean.
00:49:15Enough up.
00:49:17Who said that?
00:49:18Marley.
00:49:20Sir John Marley.
00:49:22Then you did see him.
00:49:25He told me to go and die.
00:49:28What?
00:49:29He threatened you.
00:49:30I don't know.
00:49:34The threat...
00:49:35The threat is here.
00:49:38Any of the wounds.
00:49:40It's likely to wounds.
00:49:43Threats at any moment.
00:49:45But, Philip, how?
00:49:46What do you mean, Philip?
00:49:48The reward a bite, Philip?
00:49:54Your fault, Deborah.
00:49:57You shouldn't have been so charming.
00:50:01No, Philip.
00:50:02You.
00:50:04And the rest?
00:50:06The rest.
00:50:08Face Marley.
00:50:11Lady Marley.
00:50:15Lady Marley.
00:50:17Lady Marley.
00:50:18Lady Marley.
00:50:19Lady Marley.
00:50:20By courtesy.
00:50:23Of course.
00:50:24Of course.
00:50:25If you want to talk about her.
00:50:30Still jealous, huh?
00:50:32Still jealous?
00:50:34I know you.
00:50:37Did she talk about those letters?
00:50:41Did she?
00:50:43What?
00:50:45Oh.
00:50:47Oh, yes.
00:50:48Yes, she said that she...
00:50:50wanted them back.
00:50:52I say that.
00:50:54Let's have a little...
00:50:57thing.
00:51:03Ah.
00:51:14Well, now.
00:51:17This is like old times, huh?
00:51:21Ah, Deborah.
00:51:23You and I made things hum in our short while together.
00:51:28Didn't it?
00:51:34Yes.
00:51:39And we will again.
00:51:42Hold it.
00:51:51Why were I stuffed with you women drinking?
00:51:56Hmm.
00:51:59May I have a cigarette, dear?
00:52:03You know.
00:52:06It isn't every man that can walk back into a woman's life.
00:52:11And be assured of a welcome.
00:52:15Blackguard privilege.
00:52:24Well?
00:52:26What are you going to do with what's left of me?
00:52:31Anything you like.
00:52:32On one condition.
00:52:36Condition?
00:52:39Very lovely.
00:52:40Very lovely.
00:52:42Very lovely.
00:52:43Haven't I proved it?
00:52:44Being here?
00:52:46You said it before.
00:52:50Well, then.
00:52:52For what it's worth to you,
00:52:55and what's your worth to me,
00:52:59I love you.
00:53:05You know, Deborah,
00:53:07you're taking on quite a problem, my dear.
00:53:12Not an easy one.
00:53:14I shall expect everything from you.
00:53:18I know.
00:53:19And nothing this time.
00:53:20I have you.
00:53:23And the knowledge that you need me.
00:53:25That's all I want.
00:53:28But I can't lose you.
00:53:33Because I'm worth no one's while to quit away.
00:53:40And you would like us to spend the rest of my life together?
00:53:44My dear.
00:53:49Very well.
00:53:52I'm yours.
00:53:59And when I'm dead,
00:54:01you'll be able to say,
00:54:04mine was the most faithful lover that ever lived.
00:54:11Oh, Philip.
00:54:13And now, my dear.
00:54:16Would you get me just one more little drink over this cup?
00:54:23Does everything restrict?
00:54:25No, darling.
00:54:26No more now.
00:54:29You'll rest for a bit.
00:54:38I'm so tired.
00:54:51You've got to sleep for a bit, dear.
00:54:56Is there too much light in your eyes?
00:55:00No.
00:55:00No.
00:55:08Oh.
00:55:10Who?
00:55:11Oh, darling.
00:55:12I forgot there's someone...
00:55:14There's a reporter coming here.
00:55:17A reporter?
00:55:19What for?
00:55:20Well, I was jealous.
00:55:22I thought you'd gone back to faith.
00:55:25And I was going to hit back by exposing Marley.
00:55:31Oh, no.
00:55:33No, no, you don't.
00:55:35I think of a thought.
00:55:38But why not?
00:55:40You've got me to think of now.
00:55:43But that doesn't let her out.
00:55:46I say, is this a sample of life with you?
00:55:50No, darling, it isn't.
00:55:52You can't attack a man like Marley without coming off worse.
00:55:58Are you trying to defend her?
00:56:02Oh, don't...
00:56:04Don't be a fool, Deborah.
00:56:08I'm...
00:56:09Defending myself.
00:56:12You imagine that I'd...
00:56:15Sacrifice my own comfort to allow you to make an idiot of yourself?
00:56:20Then I do mean something to you.
00:56:22Not okay.
00:56:24When that reporter comes...
00:56:26Send him away.
00:56:29And...
00:56:31Give me those letters.
00:56:37What do you want to do with them?
00:56:41Send them to Lady Marley.
00:56:43What?
00:56:45And close a note...
00:56:46Saying you have no further use for them.
00:56:49And sign it...
00:56:51Deborah...
00:56:52Ackroyd.
00:56:54Deborah Ackroyd?
00:56:56Philip, you mean that?
00:57:01Write it now.
00:57:27I say, you've always loved me.
00:57:30And she can go to the devil.
00:57:32Say anything you like.
00:57:48What will this do?
00:57:54Read it aloud.
00:57:58Allowed?
00:58:00To you?
00:58:03You wouldn't understand.
00:58:08Yeah, you're...
00:58:10You're reading her letters.
00:58:12Well, they're mine, aren't they?
00:58:15Give them to me, Philip.
00:58:17Will you take your hands off?
00:58:21You think because I'm willing to take you back, I'll stand for anything?
00:58:26And won't you?
00:58:28Take care, Philip.
00:58:35Filthy drunkard.
00:58:37Good for nothing.
00:58:39Good for no one.
00:58:41And good enough for you.
00:58:44Who else would move a finger to help a rotten shell like you?
00:58:48Not the writer of those letters you're moaning and shedding sickly tears over.
00:58:55Shut up.
00:58:56I'll show you who's in charge here.
00:58:59I'll show you swine that you are.
00:59:02You are.
00:59:03You are.
00:59:19You lied to me.
00:59:22For those letters.
00:59:25But she'll get a little satisfaction from them when she reads the morning papers.
00:59:34You and Faith.
00:59:42Oh, and I believe you.
00:59:44I believe you.
00:59:55I believe you have to look for her.
00:59:55I love you, you are.
00:59:56We need to hear you.
00:59:56Who's trying to remember?
01:00:00And how do you feel for her?
01:00:01We need to inform her.
01:00:02No, I gratitude you.
01:00:02I believe, chute.
01:00:02Oh, my God.
01:00:05I'm not sure I recommend you.
01:00:05Not if you drugs.
01:00:05Not if you're wrong.
01:00:05Not if you're wrong.
01:00:09You're wrong.
01:00:55Come, dear.
01:01:05Philip, my love.
01:04:05Hello.
01:04:06Hello.
01:07:34Yes, sir.
01:07:36This note was sent up to me while I was at Dr. Smythe, plant number 52.
01:07:42Did you bring it?
01:07:43Yes, sir.
01:07:44That's right.
01:07:44This came, sir.
01:07:46Is that the lady who lives here?
01:07:47Yes.
01:07:49Is she in?
01:07:50I've been ringing for some time.
01:07:51She hasn't gone out, sir.
01:07:53At least not since I've been on, sir.
01:07:55Do you think that she could be ill?
01:07:59She was looking a bit odd, sir, now you've come to mention it.
01:08:02Oh.
01:08:04Well, maybe if she's ill it would be better to...
01:08:07I've got a key, sir.
01:08:08I've got a key, sir.
01:08:08Perhaps I'd better go in and see her.
01:08:10Oh, very well.
01:08:13If you'll wait a minute, sir, I'll see if she's in, sir.
01:08:19Yes.
01:08:24Miss Cain!
01:08:25Miss Cain!
01:08:29Miss Cain!
01:08:32Miss Cain!
01:08:33Miss Cain!
01:08:34I'll take that.
01:08:36Look, sir!
01:08:37Very tight.
01:09:01He's been dead for this part of an hour.
01:09:05Look out of the window and see if there's a policeman.
01:09:07This is not our affair.
01:09:09Yes, sir.
01:09:17Here.
01:09:22You're wanted.
01:09:25Something's wrong. Number 44.
01:09:35It was suicide, sir.
01:09:37Who said it was suicide?
01:09:40I was just repeating what the doctor said, sir.
01:09:42Doctor?
01:09:43Oh, Inspector, my name is John Marley.
01:09:46Mr. John Marley.
01:09:47My respect, Mr. John.
01:09:49So you say it's suicide?
01:09:52Well, the facts speak to themselves.
01:09:54Facts, eh?
01:09:56Steve, get on to the station.
01:09:58Have them send the divisional headquarter surgeon here at once.
01:10:01Yes, sir.
01:10:02This note was sent to me upstairs while I was visiting Dr. Smythe.
01:10:08By whom?
01:10:09By this woman, I presume that...
01:10:12Uh, Regent 8941.
01:10:15Yes, 8941.
01:10:17Please, sir.
01:10:19I'm speaking for Inspector Haynes.
01:10:23Woman found dead.
01:10:2544, Beaufort Hall Court.
01:10:29Yes, sir.
01:10:30Please send divisional surgeon right away.
01:10:33Robert Hall, Robert Hall Court?
01:10:35Yes.
01:10:35Very well.
01:10:39Deborah Kane.
01:10:43Is that the deceased's name?
01:10:45Sir, right enough, sir.
01:10:47She says to me, was that Sir John Marley who went upstairs?
01:10:50She gave you this letter?
01:10:53That's right, sir.
01:10:53You delivered it?
01:10:56Who's on the front door?
01:10:58No one, sir.
01:11:00I didn't come on till 10.
01:11:04An hour ago.
01:11:06This gentleman, he came down and knocked and rang and couldn't make himself hurt, so he sent for me.
01:11:13You let him in.
01:11:16Answer that.
01:11:24Before you.
01:11:26My name's Hilda.
01:11:29I'm a reporter on the cable.
01:11:30I came here in answer to a telephone call.
01:11:33From whom?
01:11:34A Miss Deborah Kane.
01:11:47About 815, my newspaper was called up and this woman, at least so I presume, asked me to call for
01:11:53a story.
01:11:54What kind of a story?
01:11:56About Sir John Marley.
01:11:59About Sir John Marley.
01:11:59About me?
01:12:00Oh, you're Sir John Marley.
01:12:02Good evening, sir.
01:12:03Did she indicate the subject of the story?
01:12:06No, she wouldn't.
01:12:07Well, you've got the story for what it's worth.
01:12:09For what it's worth?
01:12:11I don't follow you.
01:12:12Well, Inspector, the minds of persons on the verge of suicide often have curious reactions.
01:12:20Now, I've been given an absurd amount of publicity lately, and being nearby, maybe she thought that...
01:12:27I see your point, Sir John.
01:12:28Then you think the story was that Sir John Marley was to be found here after her death?
01:12:34That's obvious.
01:12:35Seeing that she sent him a note to the flat above, asking him to come down.
01:12:39A queer sort of satisfaction.
01:12:41Well, Inspector, as the case is now in official hands, perhaps you'll allow me to go.
01:12:45If you wish, sir.
01:12:47Good night.
01:12:47Good night.
01:12:48You'll be required that the coroner's cross, sir.
01:12:50Why, of course.
01:12:51Good night.
01:12:52Good night.
01:12:53Good night.
01:12:55Wonderful man, Sir John.
01:12:57Great discovery of you.
01:12:58Marvelous.
01:13:16Good day, sir.
01:13:19N Türkiye Housewives 3014695?
01:13:21Nice bicycle conversion.
01:13:22Looks like bad service.
01:13:25Bad service, eh?
01:13:28Here, you.
01:13:33Was Miss Kane left-handed?
01:13:35That's it, sir.
01:13:36Her right hand was practically useless, sir.
01:13:38She writes with her left hand and everything, sir.
01:13:41Sir.
01:13:44Just a minute.
01:13:47See who that is.
01:13:48Yes, sir.
01:13:50If she was left-handed,
01:13:52what's the poison bottle doing in her right hand?
01:13:55That's curious.
01:13:56Oh, it's you, Hayes.
01:13:58Good evening, Doctor.
01:13:59Why, what's all about?
01:14:01Suicide.
01:14:03Would choose a night when I'm in the middle of a rubber of bridge.
01:14:08All the likes.
01:14:10No consideration.
01:14:12Kill themselves or have babies at the most inconvenient times.
01:14:18Look at that, Doctor.
01:14:31I'll be careful.
01:14:35I wonder where the stopper of this bottle is.
01:14:40Look for a stopper.
01:14:58Still from aspirin.
01:15:01Lady Marley.
01:15:02Lady Marley?
01:15:04To one onyx cigarette case, 75 pounds.
01:15:08March the 26th.
01:15:10Why, that's the date.
01:15:12Lady Marley.
01:15:20Doctor.
01:15:21Do you smell anything?
01:15:31I thought so.
01:15:33Looks like suicide, eh?
01:15:36Hanged if I don't think it's murder.
01:15:52I beg your pardon, sir.
01:15:53The hospital called up.
01:15:56Oh, never mind about that now.
01:15:59Is Lady Marley in?
01:16:02Oh.
01:16:07John.
01:16:14You found my bag.
01:16:17Yes.
01:16:20Thank God it was I.
01:16:22And not the police who found it.
01:16:24Police?
01:16:25What happened, John?
01:16:27Tell me.
01:16:28Tell me!
01:16:29I made it appear like suicide.
01:16:33Suicide?
01:16:35Never?
01:16:35Yes.
01:16:37Oh.
01:16:38This bag, the only evidence.
01:16:41I covered every trace.
01:16:45You covered?
01:16:47Oh.
01:16:50My God.
01:16:55And dear, I sent for the police.
01:16:58I left them there.
01:17:00And they're satisfied she did it herself.
01:17:03Oh.
01:17:04Oh, come, my sweet.
01:17:07Pull yourself together.
01:17:08I went over everything.
01:17:10No one will ever know.
01:17:12Tell me, darling.
01:17:14Tell me.
01:17:15What did you do with the letters?
01:17:18Letters?
01:17:19Yes.
01:17:21What?
01:17:22I haven't got them.
01:17:28Darling.
01:17:29We can't trust each other now.
01:17:32It's hopeless.
01:17:34Why, you went there to get them.
01:17:36No, I'll tell you.
01:17:36I haven't dropped them.
01:17:38Then why did you take a bottle of prussic acid from the top shelf of my cabinet?
01:17:42Tell me, why?
01:17:44Mr. Ackroyd.
01:17:46Mr. Ackroyd.
01:17:46Come here.
01:17:50Tell him to come in, children.
01:17:54Come in, Ackroyd.
01:18:00I'm sorry to intrude at this late hour, but I'm leaving England in the morning.
01:18:09I managed to do what you asked me.
01:18:13These are your letters.
01:18:16Phyllis.
01:18:18Though that is the way you kept your promise.
01:18:23What is annoy you, Faith?
01:18:26Do you think that I have performed this service for you?
01:18:31Phyllis, you must be mad.
01:18:34Police Inspector Haynes is here, Sir John.
01:18:39Police Inspector Haynes?
01:18:42Oh, tell him I can't see him.
01:18:43That car is gone.
01:18:45I must exercise the privilege of the law.
01:18:48Well, I'm sorry, Inspector, but I have a patient.
01:18:53My duty must take precedence.
01:18:56Perhaps you'd better leave us, Faith, dear.
01:19:02I must ask Lady Marley to remain.
01:19:04I'd like to know what she was doing in Miss Cain's apartment tonight.
01:19:09What do you mean?
01:19:11You were wrong, Sir John, about that suicide.
01:19:14We find it was murder.
01:19:18Lady Marley was not there.
01:19:21No.
01:19:24Perhaps you can explain how this bill to Lady Marley dated today
01:19:29came to be found in the dead woman's flat.
01:19:34Oh, well, it must have dropped from her pocket while I was examining the body.
01:19:43Did you give this bill to your husband?
01:19:45Oh, come Inspector, is it so unusual for a husband to pay his wife's bills?
01:19:49Hmm.
01:19:52I should like to compare this bottle with those on your desk, Sir John.
01:19:56Do I, uh, certainly?
01:20:00One moment, Inspector.
01:20:03Perhaps I can save you a lot of trouble.
01:20:06Is this small glass copper of any use to you?
01:20:17Who are you?
01:20:20My name is Ackroyd.
01:20:24Where did you get this stuff from?
01:20:28From a bottle of plastic acid,
01:20:31which was emptied into a lady's glass.
01:20:34Why are you telling me this?
01:20:35Yes.
01:20:36I warn you, anything you say may be used in evidence against you.
01:20:41The dying man is outside the law.
01:20:47So, you confess to this murder?
01:20:51By certainly.
01:20:53After all, I did it.
01:20:56And arrange things to look like a suicide, eh?
01:21:01The local cellar.
01:21:03Ackroyd, I arrest you for the willful murder of Deborah Payne.
01:21:07Oh, Inspector, I've got to interfere, sir.
01:21:08One moment, gentlemen, please.
01:21:11I can't bear interference.
01:21:15As Sir John will understand.
01:21:23May I?
01:21:28Inspector.
01:21:45He's a very sick man, Inspector.
01:21:47I don't think you'll get him to court.
01:21:50Go easy with him.
01:21:53I will help you.
01:22:00Goodbye, Molly.
01:22:05All right, Inspector.
01:22:26For delivery at Bow Street Jail.
01:22:30Mock.
01:22:32Roger.
01:22:43Roger.
01:22:45I wasn't mad.
01:22:47I shall never forgive myself.
01:22:51Why?
01:22:52There's nothing to forgive.
01:23:02he's with fear in the point.
01:23:04No.
01:23:05Which won't keep going to hide.
01:23:06It's a bit coarse, we'll keep it our lives.
01:23:06It's no longer incomprehensible, but we can't.
01:23:06I'm如ki.
