00:00:00The End
00:00:38The End
00:01:16Here, wipe your feet, will you, and oblige me that I have to clean up after you.
00:01:21The lodgers can't pay their rent, coming and going all day, popping in and out the house like lies.
00:01:28And don't put your umbrella where it'll make a puddle, either.
00:01:31I didn't take my umbrella this morning.
00:01:33Oh, shows you don't know our London weather yet.
00:01:36No, down in Sussex, where I come from, it only rains every other day.
00:01:40There's a letter for you on the table.
00:01:42Nobody writes it to me, it must be an ad.
00:01:44That letter looks like a wedding invitation to me.
00:01:48Yes, that's what it looks like.
00:02:02Who's it from? Dennis Bruce?
00:02:05Yes, it's from Mr. Bruce.
00:02:07When's it gonna be?
00:02:11It was yesterday.
00:02:13Oh, you could have knocked Mrs. Mackey and me down with a feather when he told us he was leaving
00:02:17to get married.
00:02:18He told me two months ago when I first met him here.
00:02:21He told me he was engaged to a girl in Edinburgh.
00:02:23Oh.
00:02:24Well, I expect Mrs. Mackey thought that you'd make him forget about her.
00:02:29That's ridiculous.
00:02:30I didn't even try to make him forget her.
00:02:33If you had, you wouldn't have to be looking for work now, would you?
00:02:36Or bother about the three weeks' rent show, Mrs. Mackey.
00:02:40She's beginning to get worried.
00:02:43I've applied at all the employment agencies.
00:02:46I'll have a job soon.
00:02:48Of course, if you ain't aiming too high, I know plenty of places you could get a job like mine.
00:02:55But I suppose a fine lady like you was trained for something better.
00:03:01The doctor said I've got to be careful for a few months.
00:03:05Oh.
00:03:07My sister had her appendix out, too.
00:03:11She was scrubbing and cleaning the very next week.
00:03:14Doesn't it bother her now?
00:03:17Nothing bothers her now.
00:03:19She's dead.
00:03:22But it wasn't good, honest work that killed her.
00:03:27Bertha.
00:03:28Here's a new agency I haven't been to.
00:03:31Secretaries wanted.
00:03:33Excellent positions available.
00:03:35Applied the Alison Employment Agency.
00:03:38Secretaries.
00:03:39Sitting right in all day.
00:03:40Call that work.
00:03:42If I go there right now, perhaps I'll get it.
00:03:45I've got to get it.
00:03:50Why did you come to London, Miss Ross?
00:03:52A London doctor was recommended to me.
00:03:54And you've quite recovered from your operation by now?
00:03:56Oh, quite.
00:03:57Quite.
00:03:58I'm strong as an ox.
00:03:59Don't look it.
00:04:00You live with your family?
00:04:01No, I have no family.
00:04:02No husband?
00:04:03No young man?
00:04:04No.
00:04:04You're sure?
00:04:05Well, of course I'm sure.
00:04:06I ask these personal questions because I have one very lucrative position open to a young woman
00:04:11with no family responsibilities.
00:04:13No romantic attachments.
00:04:16Mrs. Williamson Hughes, 190 Henrique Square.
00:04:21Mrs. Hughes has already had three secretaries from this office this year.
00:04:25Just as she was getting accustomed to each one, the girl would leave her because of her sick mother or
00:04:29a sister to care for or a young man.
00:04:32This time, Mrs. Hughes wants a girl who could definitely promise to stay at least a year.
00:04:37Oh, I'm sure I could.
00:04:38I have no ties and no young man.
00:04:41I'm absolutely alone.
00:04:43Your references seem to be in order.
00:04:45You just might suit, Mrs. Hughes.
00:04:47Well, there's no harm in trying.
00:04:52I hope you're not lying in order to get the job.
00:04:55I need a job, but I'm not lying.
00:04:57My parents are dead.
00:04:59The closest relative I have is an aunt in America.
00:05:02Mrs. Hughes, I think I found an excellent girl for you.
00:05:06May I send her along for an interview?
00:05:10Oh, you'll be driving past here anyway?
00:05:14Certainly.
00:05:16I'll ask Miss Ross to remain and you could interview her here.
00:05:24I think we shall suit each other very well indeed.
00:05:26Don't you, Miss Ross?
00:05:28I'll certainly try, Mrs. Hughes.
00:05:30Miss Ross seems to answer all her requirements, doesn't she, son?
00:05:34Well, that's for you to decide, Mother.
00:05:36Well, I think we'll consider the matter settled.
00:05:39That is, if the salary is satisfactory.
00:05:42Oh, indeed, it's more than generous.
00:05:44Then we'll expect you to move in tonight.
00:05:47Tonight?
00:05:47Oh, I see no sense in dilly-dallying.
00:05:50Once we've made up our mind, do you?
00:05:52The sooner you get settled, the better.
00:05:54I didn't know I was to live there.
00:05:56Mrs. Hughes always makes her secretaries very comfortable.
00:05:59They've all told me what a lovely house you have, madam.
00:06:02I'm sure we shall do our best to make you happy with us.
00:06:05Now, you run along, pack your things, and we'll expect you in this evening.
00:06:08And, uh, just a little advance on your salary, just to bind the bargain.
00:06:13Oh, I really shouldn't.
00:06:15Oh, nonsense, my child.
00:06:16You take it and go shopping this afternoon.
00:06:20You're very kind, Mrs. Hughes.
00:06:22Thank you, Miss Allison.
00:06:24Good day, Mr. Hughes.
00:06:26Goodbye, Miss Ross.
00:06:27We'll see you this evening.
00:06:28Oh, we live very quietly.
00:06:30I expect everyone to be in the house by nine o'clock.
00:06:32I shall try to be there before that, Mrs. Hughes.
00:06:35Good.
00:06:35Have a nice time shopping.
00:06:37Thank you, I will.
00:06:37Oh, she's perfect.
00:06:41Mm-hmm.
00:06:41There's even a small resemblance.
00:06:43You've done very well, Sparks.
00:06:45Thank you, madam.
00:06:46It does.
00:06:51Yes, Mrs. Hughes?
00:06:52Do you think she saw you?
00:06:53No, ma'am.
00:06:54No, I know she didn't, Mrs. Hughes.
00:06:56Well, see that you keep it that way, especially at the house.
00:06:59Well, we'd better hurry and close up the agency now.
00:07:01We shan't need it any longer.
00:07:24Well, I was hanging up my second-best suit.
00:07:29Where's your wife?
00:07:30Didn't you get married?
00:07:31Well, yes and no.
00:07:33We took out the license and sent out the announcements.
00:07:36Paid calls on all our friends and relatives.
00:07:38Somebody gave her a linen shower.
00:07:39I had a bachelor dinner.
00:07:41And I guess by that time, we were too tired of each other to get married.
00:07:44She didn't like it when I kept calling her Julia.
00:07:48What'd you call her that?
00:07:50Force of habit or something.
00:07:52Then she wanted to know who Julia was.
00:07:54So I told her how crazy she'd be about you if she knew you.
00:07:59I don't know why she should get so upset about this, do you?
00:08:03Well, yes, I do.
00:08:05No, I don't.
00:08:09Julia, come out with me tonight and help me figure out why I'm not more upset.
00:08:13I'd love to, Dennis.
00:08:16Oh, but not tonight.
00:08:18Any other night, but not tonight.
00:08:19I've got a new job and I've just about time to pack and get there.
00:08:23I'm living on the place, you see.
00:08:25What kind of a job?
00:08:26Secretary to a Mrs. Hughes and her son.
00:08:29Nursemate to a child?
00:08:31No, he's about your age.
00:08:33Oh.
00:08:34Well, I'll take you there.
00:08:36Where is it?
00:08:37190 Henrick Square.
00:08:39Oh, but I don't think you'd better take me there.
00:08:42You see, only this afternoon I told them I had no family and no young man.
00:08:47Well, I'm not your young man.
00:08:50Or am I?
00:08:54I don't know.
00:08:55Are you?
00:09:09Bye, Dennis.
00:09:10I'll see you tomorrow night.
00:09:11Friday.
00:09:12In the square at 7.30.
00:09:13Right?
00:09:14Right.
00:09:15Mrs. Mackey?
00:09:17Mrs. Mackey?
00:09:19Mrs. M's gone to the cinema, leaving me with the dirty dishes.
00:09:24I'm leaving tonight, Bertha.
00:09:26This will explain to Mrs. Mackey why I left.
00:09:28I got a job at that new agency.
00:09:30She can send the receipt to this address.
00:09:33Now I've got to fly.
00:09:35Goodbye and good luck, Bertha.
00:09:36Thanks.
00:09:37Thanks for nothing.
00:09:51Thanks for something.
00:10:11Ah, good evening, Miss Ross.
00:10:13Good evening.
00:10:13I'm the doorman tonight.
00:10:15Mother's gone to bed.
00:10:16The maids have gone to the cinema.
00:10:17And, well, I hope you don't mind my showing you up to your room.
00:10:20Not at all.
00:10:21Please.
00:10:22Let me help you.
00:11:10How long will she sleep?
00:11:12Well, all the time we need.
00:11:14These are all her things.
00:11:15I want all her clothing destroyed.
00:11:18Every bit of it.
00:11:19The bag, too?
00:11:20The bag, too.
00:11:22Mrs. Hughes.
00:11:23Ralph.
00:11:26Ralph!
00:11:34Put that knife away.
00:11:38Try to remember that weren't for your temper,
00:11:41you wouldn't be in this awful trouble today.
00:11:44I'm sorry.
00:11:46Very well.
00:11:48Now we've all got jobs to do.
00:11:50Let's do them.
00:11:52Let's do them.
00:12:14Let's do them.
00:12:17Let's go.
00:12:47Let's go.
00:13:17Let's go.
00:13:27Looking for something, sir?
00:13:29Yes, I was looking for someone.
00:13:31Well, you won't find them in there. They've all gone.
00:13:34It seems deserted.
00:13:35Oh, not a stick in the place.
00:13:37They left last night. Oh, maybe it was first thing this morning.
00:13:39Nobody saw them go.
00:13:40Hello. I say, do you know where they moved to?
00:13:42Not me, sir.
00:13:44People offer moves like that, you know, sudden like.
00:13:47To Julia, she would have left word.
00:13:49Her relative, sir?
00:13:50My girl.
00:13:52Would you care to come down to the station and make a statement, sir?
00:13:55No, no, it's probably nothing. There must be a simple explanation.
00:13:57Why, of course, sir. You'll probably be hearing from her in the morning, I hope.
00:14:00Thank you, officer. Good night.
00:14:02Good night, sir.
00:14:04But, Mrs. Mackey, are you sure Julia didn't leave a forwarding address with you?
00:14:08You see, I may have made a mistake in the number of the house.
00:14:10Miss Julia Ross left nothing with me.
00:14:12And I made a great mistake in trusting her for the rent.
00:14:15She ups and sneaks out of me without paying when my back was turned.
00:14:17I don't believe that.
00:14:20You believe it fast enough if it was you that was being done out of £2.10?
00:14:24Why, the wicked girl only left £2.10?
00:14:28What did you say?
00:14:30I said she was a wicked girl to leave Owen and Honest Dad.
00:14:34Hand it over.
00:14:35Go on.
00:14:41It's you that's the wicked one.
00:14:43I was only keeping it for you.
00:14:45Yes, well, I'll be keeping a call for the police if you do it again.
00:14:49I won't, Mum. I won't. I'm sorry.
00:14:52I won't. I won't. I won't. I won't. I won't.
00:14:53Didn't you leave a note with a new address on it?
00:14:55I tore it up.
00:14:56But you remember the number, don't you?
00:14:58What, me? Read someone else's letters?
00:15:04Bertha, you've got to remember.
00:15:06Well, she got the job through the Alison Employment Agency
00:15:09from an advertisement in the paper.
00:15:11Well, they'd know the address, wouldn't they?
00:15:12Ah, good girl, Bertha. Alison Agency.
00:15:16Well, they won't be open at this hour.
00:15:30Hello, chum.
00:15:31You know, you're wasting your time on that dear door.
00:15:34Well, I've got to find them tonight.
00:15:36Tonight, then?
00:15:37Flew the coop, they have.
00:15:38It comes and goes here faster than the favourite at Aintree.
00:15:42Perhaps I could get that forwarding address from the landlord.
00:15:43Oh, I'm the landlord, and when they fly as the coop,
00:15:45I'm always the first that knows about it.
00:15:47There's one thing about this here building,
00:15:48you know, there ain't no questions asked.
00:15:50What a body doesn't know, don't hurt them, I always say.
00:15:53I don't know where else to look.
00:15:55Why don't you let it go till morning?
00:15:56Nights, no time for looking for a job or work.
00:15:59Nights for play.
00:16:00Nights for play.
00:17:00Nights for play.
00:17:25Nights for play.
00:17:28Dennis in the sky.
00:18:08Dennis in the sky.
00:18:54Dennis in the sky.
00:19:05Dennis in the sky.
00:19:05Good morning, Mum. I hope you feel better today.
00:19:08Who are you?
00:19:10My name's Alice, Mum.
00:19:12Now, here's your breakfast.
00:19:13No, I don't want any thank you.
00:19:17That calendar over there, that says Saturday.
00:19:19It isn't Saturday, is it? It's Friday.
00:19:22It must be Friday.
00:19:24No, Mum. It's Saturday, all right.
00:19:26You slept all day Friday.
00:19:28I expect you was tired out after your journey.
00:19:31Well, how did I get here? Where is this?
00:19:33Why, Mum, you're right here in your new home
00:19:36that's been ready and waiting for you for over a week.
00:19:39Expecting you every day I was,
00:19:41after getting the wire to say your folks had taken Seahouse
00:19:44and wanted it scrubbed and clean.
00:19:45I expect they had to wait until you was well enough to travel.
00:19:49But Cornwall's a good, healthy place.
00:19:51And the sea air will soon get you well.
00:19:54Cornwall?
00:19:56But that's miles from London.
00:19:58In our village, that's Beverton, you know.
00:20:01There's just as good and better in London.
00:20:04Now, have a sip.
00:20:05I must get back to London.
00:20:07No, you mustn't get up, Mrs. Hughes.
00:20:10Mrs. Hughes?
00:20:12Please stay in bed, Mrs. Hughes,
00:20:13or you'll make yourself worse.
00:20:15Oh, I'd better get your husband.
00:20:17He's been that worried about you.
00:20:19My husband?
00:20:23Mrs. Hughes?
00:20:36Marian, darling.
00:20:38How do you feel?
00:20:40Well, you look better this morning.
00:20:42Much better, doesn't she, Mother?
00:20:43Indeed she does.
00:20:45My name isn't Marian, and I'm not married to you or anyone.
00:20:48I was engaged as a secretary.
00:20:50Now, what does this all mean?
00:20:51Why did we leave London?
00:20:52You haven't forgotten us again, have you, Marian?
00:20:55I'm not Marian, and you know it.
00:20:57All right, dear.
00:20:58Let's not argue.
00:20:59Let's just have our tea and perhaps another napkin.
00:21:02And then you'll feel much better.
00:21:03I'm afraid it's cold.
00:21:05Oh, Alice, bring some more hot water quickly, please.
00:21:07Yes, ma'am.
00:21:08I don't know what this is all about,
00:21:10but I promise you some very serious trouble
00:21:12unless you stop it immediately.
00:21:14You know perfectly well I'm Julia Ross.
00:21:16Marian, dear, please don't excite yourself so.
00:21:19You'll just bring on another attack.
00:21:21Attack?
00:21:22Attack? Attack of what?
00:21:23Nerves, dear.
00:21:24Just nerves.
00:21:25Oh, we do so want you to know you're with your own family.
00:21:28Oh, nonsense.
00:21:29Marian, darling, control yourself.
00:21:33Let me go.
00:21:34We're doing everything in our power to make you well again.
00:21:37Let me go!
00:21:38If you don't stop this, I'll have you arrested!
00:21:42Why are you doing this?
00:21:44It's so stupid.
00:21:46It's so silly.
00:21:52That's the woman from the agency.
00:21:54What's she doing here?
00:21:55Alice, bring the hot water quickly.
00:21:57Yes?
00:21:59Alice, you live in the village, don't you?
00:22:01Then help me.
00:22:02I'm not his wife.
00:22:03I don't know what's happening or why.
00:22:05But please, call the police.
00:22:06Call someone.
00:22:08Help me.
00:22:09Well, of course, Alice will help you.
00:22:11We'll all help you.
00:22:12Now, just have your tea.
00:22:14Alice, we've got some errands for you to do in the village.
00:22:17Yes, ma'am.
00:22:18I won't have it.
00:22:20It's probably got sleeping powders in it like the other did.
00:22:23Drink your tea, Marian.
00:22:26Who'd she say you were?
00:22:27Oh, some woman from some agency.
00:22:29Last week, she said I was the queen.
00:22:32You're coming down in the world, aren't you?
00:22:34It's a fair caution.
00:22:36If you didn't know she was, well, like she is,
00:22:39you'd swear she was telling the truth.
00:22:40It's a heavy burden on Mr. Rauch and his mother.
00:22:43They've spent a fortune on doctors.
00:22:45Will she always be barmy?
00:22:46We just say she's ill.
00:22:49And when you go into the village,
00:22:51I don't want you gossiping about the family.
00:22:53Oh, no, Mrs. Sparks.
00:22:54I'm a close-mouth, I am.
00:22:56Of course we don't want to appear standoffish,
00:22:59so you can answer any questions about...
00:23:01Oh, I won't breathe a word about her being barmy.
00:23:31Where's... who's there?
00:23:35Where's the... who's there?
00:23:45Where's the... who's there?
00:24:03Don't come near me!
00:24:04Don't come near me!
00:24:11Mary.
00:24:13Maryam, what is it?
00:24:14What happened to that?
00:24:17I threw something at him.
00:24:19At home, dear.
00:24:20I thought it was you.
00:24:22Darling, I've been asleep.
00:24:23You've had another nightmare.
00:24:24But he was real.
00:24:25I saw his eyes right there, glaring at me.
00:24:28That's what you saw.
00:24:30Why, of course.
00:24:32It was the cat.
00:24:33You saw his eyes in the mirror and thought it was someone.
00:24:37I saw a man's hand right here on the bed.
00:24:39But no one could have got into the room.
00:24:42I locked the door.
00:24:43In case you walked in your sleep and hurt yourself.
00:24:47Then the man must still be in here somewhere.
00:24:50Well, you better have a look.
00:24:53If no one could get into the room, where did the cat come from?
00:24:57Perhaps the window.
00:24:59Not even a cat could climb those walls.
00:25:06Ralph, stop that.
00:25:10You see, there's no one here.
00:25:12You better take the cat away.
00:25:13Clear out that glass in the morning.
00:25:14Yes, madam.
00:25:16If you're nervous, Marion, would you like me to stay the rest of the night with you?
00:25:23Why did you bring me here?
00:25:25What are you planning to do with me?
00:25:28Are you trying to drive me crazy?
00:25:30Is that it?
00:25:31Tell me what you're planning to do with me!
00:25:34Nothing, Marion.
00:25:36Nothing but try to make you well, dear.
00:25:38That's all.
00:25:39Why don't you leave the light on, if you're frightened?
00:25:44Good night.
00:25:57Good night.
00:25:59Oh, uh, Mrs. Mackey.
00:26:01Anything for me?
00:26:01Nothing for you.
00:26:03Are you sure?
00:26:04She ain't had time to write a letter yet.
00:26:06It's only Mandy.
00:26:07You're going to make yourself late at the office for nothing.
00:26:09The legal profession doesn't keep me that busy, Mrs. Mackey.
00:26:12She's had three days to explain.
00:26:14Oh, women never explain, especially if they're wrong.
00:26:17It'll probably come in the afternoon post, uh, here.
00:26:20Oh.
00:26:20If it does come, this afternoon or any time, call me at the office.
00:26:23You know the number, and I'll give you another five shillings.
00:26:25Oh, thank you.
00:26:27Thank you very much, Mr. Bruce.
00:26:50Thank you, Mr. Bruce.
00:27:01May I take the breakfast tray, Mrs. Hughes?
00:27:05Oh, Alice, I didn't hear you.
00:27:07Were you looking for something, Mum?
00:27:08Is there another entrance to this room?
00:27:10Another entrance?
00:27:12They'd keep my door locked, but...
00:27:14That's to protect you, Mum.
00:27:16Against yourself.
00:27:17But someone gets in here.
00:27:19Oh, if they want to kill me, why haven't they already done it?
00:27:22Headache, Mum?
00:27:24And why not?
00:27:25Sleeping pills to keep me down and prowlers to keep me awake.
00:27:29Alice, will you help me?
00:27:31Will you do something for me?
00:27:32Of course, Mum.
00:27:34If you'd go to the police for me on your day off,
00:27:36I'd promise to send your money back from London.
00:27:38You're making yourself ill, Mum.
00:27:40It's not right.
00:27:41Begging your pardon, Mum.
00:27:42You have a beautiful home, nice relations, pretty clothes.
00:27:46Everything a woman would want.
00:27:48Oh, nonsense.
00:27:49Of course you have, Mum.
00:27:51You're letting yourself be took up by illusions.
00:27:53Letting it gnaw at you and gnaw at you.
00:27:56It's all in the mind.
00:27:58People can think themselves into anything.
00:28:00Why don't you think you're getting well, Mum?
00:28:03I tell you, I'm not ill.
00:28:04Oh, Alice, if you do as I ask.
00:28:07You may go, Alice.
00:28:08Yes.
00:28:09Well, Marion, up and about.
00:28:13I'll go crazy if you don't let me out of this room.
00:28:15Forced to drink that tea, my arm all bruised.
00:28:17Bruised?
00:28:18I'm going to dress and go downstairs.
00:28:20Well, of course, dear.
00:28:21No one will stop you.
00:28:23The change might do you good.
00:28:26My size.
00:28:28Naturally.
00:28:28It was made for you, Marion.
00:28:30You needn't call me Marion when we're alone.
00:28:32I know perfectly well you only do it to impress Alice.
00:28:35And if there was a Marion Hughes, where is she?
00:28:40Do hurry in and come downstairs, dear.
00:29:14Ralph, you must try to be more cautious.
00:29:17and not let your temper sway you.
00:29:20All right, Mother.
00:29:21It's lucky I saw those bruises before someone else did.
00:29:24I had to force her to drink the tea, didn't I?
00:29:26You don't have to leave evidence.
00:29:31Stop it. Stop it.
00:29:48I'll do nothing.
00:29:50I'll do nothing.
00:29:50I'm not going to have this.
00:30:27Marion's going toward the road.
00:30:29Be careful.
00:31:03Good morning.
00:31:05I'm Mrs. Hughes.
00:31:07I'm going for a walk.
00:31:08Please open the gate.
00:31:10I'm sorry, ma'am, but I got my orders.
00:31:14Listen, it's all wrong what they've told you about me.
00:31:17I'm not crazy.
00:31:19I don't look crazy, do I?
00:31:20Well, nobody ever said that, Mrs. Hughes.
00:31:23It's just that you, well, need a bit of looking after, like.
00:31:27I'll go and find the house, ma'am.
00:31:29They'll be fretting about you.
00:31:30Oh, please don't do that.
00:32:29I'll go and find the house.
00:32:31Just call in the house, Mr. Hughes.
00:32:34It's all right now.
00:32:36I'll enjoy a walk, too, dear.
00:32:38Let's have a look at the grounds.
00:32:44Thank you, Evans.
00:32:53Ralph.
00:32:54Yes?
00:32:55I've been wondering if maybe you and your mother aren't right about me.
00:33:00I've been thinking maybe I really have been ill.
00:33:03Have you married?
00:33:04Yes.
00:33:05So I've been trying to look back and remember things.
00:33:08What was my name before we were married?
00:33:11Campbell.
00:33:12Marion Campbell.
00:33:14And what about my family?
00:33:15Where are they?
00:33:15Your parents are dead, Marion.
00:33:18Haven't I any family at all?
00:33:20No one to visit me?
00:33:21No.
00:33:22Or to write?
00:33:26Beautiful, isn't it?
00:33:29Would you like to listen to the sea and hear what it says?
00:33:34It doesn't say anything, does it?
00:33:36That's what I like about the sea.
00:33:38It never tells its secrets.
00:33:41But it has many, very many secrets.
00:33:46I'd like to go to a doctor.
00:33:48Alice says there's a good one in the village.
00:33:50I'm sure he could help me.
00:33:51You've been to the best specialist in London.
00:33:56Now I'm a very lucky man to find such an attractive wife.
00:33:59Where did you find me?
00:34:00I can't remember.
00:34:01Switzerland.
00:34:02What were we doing there?
00:34:03I was visiting some people.
00:34:05You were in school.
00:34:06What school?
00:34:07Why not try to remember more pleasant things?
00:34:10Like our honeymoon.
00:34:32I was visiting some people.
00:34:33I was visiting some people.
00:34:34I was visiting some people.
00:34:35I was visiting some people.
00:34:35I was visiting some people.
00:34:37I was visiting some people.
00:34:40I was visiting some people.
00:35:10Yes?
00:35:14Someone from the village to see us.
00:35:17Tell him not to let them in.
00:35:18No, no. Better look out.
00:35:21Let them through, Evans.
00:35:23Yes.
00:35:27I'd better keep Marion in a room while they're here.
00:35:47Come on.
00:35:50Come on.
00:35:53Come on.
00:36:05Come on.
00:36:07Come on.
00:36:08Come on.
00:36:15I'm the one you're looking for.
00:36:17I'm so glad you got my note.
00:36:23You're not a policeman.
00:36:25No. I'm afraid not.
00:36:30Marion, dear. Please. Oh, how do you do?
00:36:33I'm Mrs. Hughes. This is my daughter-in-law.
00:36:36I'm the vicar, Jonathan Lewis.
00:36:38This is my sister, Mrs. Robinson, and her husband.
00:36:41How do you do?
00:36:41Perhaps we've come calling at a bad time.
00:36:43But we did want you to feel that the village welcomes you,
00:36:45that you have friendly neighbors.
00:36:47Oh, won't you come in?
00:36:50This is my son.
00:36:52Ralph, this is our vicar.
00:36:53How do you do?
00:36:54Mrs. Robinson.
00:36:55How do you do?
00:36:55How do you do?
00:36:56Mr. Robinson.
00:36:56Listen.
00:36:57How do you do, sir?
00:36:58How do you do?
00:36:59Please listen to me.
00:37:01They're holding me here by force.
00:37:02I don't know why, but you must call the police.
00:37:05I'm terribly sorry, but my daughter-in-law is upset today.
00:37:09Ralph, it's so nice of you, vicar, to come and call so promptly.
00:37:12And Mr. and Mrs. Robinson, too.
00:37:14Indeed, the whole village is so friendly and charming.
00:37:16We're quite in love with it.
00:37:18No, it's not true.
00:37:20Why doesn't somebody listen to me for once instead of believing her all the time?
00:37:23I'm so sorry.
00:37:24I miss going into church yesterday.
00:37:26Both my son and I wanted to go, but poor Marion was quite exhausted with the journey,
00:37:30and we couldn't leave the poor dear alone.
00:37:33Won't you come and sit down?
00:37:34Mrs. Robinson, sit here, won't you?
00:37:36Vicar.
00:37:41I suppose they've already heard about me in the village, haven't they?
00:37:44I suppose so.
00:37:46Gossip travels very quickly.
00:37:48There isn't much they don't know about my little wife.
00:37:50But there's one thing you don't know.
00:37:51The police will be here today, and you'd better see to it that I'm all right when they come.
00:37:55You mean because of this note?
00:37:59The one the gatekeeper found?
00:38:10Isn't that an awful exhibition?
00:38:12But how did the poor Mrs. Hughes in the face?
00:38:14The poor Mr. Hughes, I was thinking.
00:38:16I'm crawling back.
00:38:17There's plenty of room up here, dear.
00:38:20The young husband doesn't say much, but you can see he feels it deeply.
00:38:24He talks about her in such a gentle way.
00:38:26So touching.
00:38:49Well, perhaps a rest in a quiet place like this will do her good.
00:38:52There, Major Alice told our cook the poor girl is steadily getting worse, though the family refused to admit it.
00:38:56Susan, you shouldn't listen to gossip.
00:38:58But how did it happen?
00:39:00There was a breakdown about a year ago.
00:39:01They've been to every doctor in the country.
00:39:04Jonathan, do be careful of those girls.
00:39:26Jonathan, where are you going?
00:39:28Oh, I forgot to ask Mrs. Hughes something.
00:39:29It won't take a moment to drive back.
00:39:51I beg your pardon, sir.
00:39:52Have you seen my wife?
00:39:55Yes, she's here.
00:39:56You'll find her in the back seat of the car.
00:40:02She couldn't have made a better impression for us
00:40:04if we'd planned it ourselves.
00:40:06Now everyone knows she's not responsible for anything she may do.
00:40:09Then why don't we get it all over with right now?
00:40:11Because there's still one last step, the most important.
00:40:15What's that, Mother?
00:40:16Our best alibi.
00:40:24What do you want?
00:40:29That's not a very friendly way for a wife to greet her husband.
00:40:32Wife?
00:40:33Please don't be afraid of me.
00:40:35For a while today, I thought we were going to be friends,
00:40:37the way we used to be.
00:40:39Why don't you stop this farce?
00:40:41It's not a farce.
00:40:42I've always loved you, Marion.
00:40:44Would it make any difference if I called you Julia?
00:40:47Get out of here.
00:40:49Stop it!
00:40:51Alice!
00:40:58Alice!
00:40:59Alice!
00:41:01Alice!
00:41:02Alice!
00:41:03Alice!
00:41:03Mr. Obra?
00:41:06Mary, how could you do such a thing?
00:41:09Mrs. Hughes trying to throw us up out of the window.
00:41:11Get my mother. Hurry!
00:41:12Yes, sir.
00:41:14And then get someone from the village to come up here
00:41:15and put some bars on these windows.
00:41:16It isn't safe to leave my wife alone any longer. Quick!
00:41:34Good morning, Mum.
00:41:36Good morning.
00:41:39My goodness, Mum!
00:41:41Didn't you go to bed at all last night?
00:41:43No, and why should I?
00:41:45I can't sleep and I can't eat either.
00:41:48Take that away.
00:41:49Take it away!
00:41:51It's probably poisoned.
00:41:53Oh, no, Mum.
00:41:54You mustn't excite yourself like this.
00:41:56Why not?
00:41:57Locked up like an animal with someone trying to kill me.
00:41:59Don't say that, Mum.
00:42:01You're like all the rest of them.
00:42:03What's going on here?
00:42:04She's all upset, Mum.
00:42:06And who wouldn't be?
00:42:08How would you like to be in my place?
00:42:09Never allowed out of here for a moment.
00:42:12They're afraid to let me out.
00:42:13They're afraid of what I'll tell about them.
00:42:15They don't even dare let me take a drive through the village
00:42:17for fear that people will find out how they treat me.
00:42:19They'd love to take you out for a drive, Mum,
00:42:21if that's all you want.
00:42:23It's a do-er-good of that, I'm sure.
00:42:26Why, of course.
00:42:27I think it's a wonderful idea.
00:42:29You can drive along the coast road, up to Observation Point.
00:42:32I want Alice to go along, too.
00:42:34I have a good deal of work to do, Mum.
00:42:36Please, Alice.
00:42:37Run along, Alice.
00:42:38Your work can wait.
00:42:39Go down and tell Sparks to bring the car round.
00:42:41Yes, Mum.
00:42:43I'll be ready in a moment.
00:42:44Well, there's no great rush, dear.
00:42:46You must give her out time to have his breakfast.
00:42:51I think it's another scheme to get away.
00:42:53Sure it is.
00:43:32Now you can let her post it, and no harm done.
00:43:35But why let her think she succeeded?
00:43:37Why not?
00:43:38It's what the villagers think that counts now.
00:43:40I want them to see how kind you are to her.
00:43:42Especially after yesterday.
00:44:29I want them to get away.
00:44:30Don't huddle away over there in the corner.
00:44:32You should sit closer.
00:44:34So that people can see what a handsome couple we are.
00:44:37Shouldn't she, Alice?
00:44:41Are you lying to someone?
00:44:43Yes, a friend in London.
00:44:45You haven't sealed it.
00:44:46What difference does it make?
00:44:48I know you won't let me send it.
00:44:53What an imagination.
00:44:55Why should I stop you?
00:44:57As soon as we get to the village, you can post it.
00:45:01I'll be back.
00:45:04You're up, Alice.
00:45:05I will take you to the village.
00:45:06Gonna shoot you to the village.
00:45:27Hello, Mrs. Robinson.
00:45:33Good morning, Mr. Hughes and Mrs. Hughes. Nice to see you out.
00:45:38And are you feeling a little better today?
00:45:40I've never been ill, thank you.
00:45:42Give me your letter, dear. I'll mail it for you.
00:45:44I'd rather mail it myself. Good day, Mrs. Robinson.
00:45:47Good day.
00:45:50Just a moment.
00:45:56Wave to Mr. Robinson, dear.
00:46:05When will this letter get to London?
00:46:07Tomorrow.
00:46:08That's fine. Thank you.
00:46:10It was a pleasure, my dear.
00:46:34Steve!
00:46:43See you.
00:46:48Tea!
00:46:48Tea!
00:46:49Tea!
00:46:50Tea!
00:46:50Te."
00:46:54Meow!
00:47:02Meow!
00:47:06Meow!
00:47:14Meow!
00:47:15Meow!
00:47:23Meow!
00:48:07How much longer is it going to be?
00:48:09The whole plan had to be convincing.
00:48:11Now we can make it look like suicide.
00:48:14But when?
00:48:15Tonight.
00:48:16If by chance that Dennis Bruce should come,
00:48:18I don't want us still here.
00:48:20Now we can make it look like suicide.
00:48:20How will he find his way here?
00:48:22The postmark, of course.
00:48:24The postmark on the letter?
00:48:26I never thought of that.
00:48:28Why did you take such a chance?
00:48:30It wasn't much of a chance.
00:48:32Nobody in Beverton ever heard of Julia Ross.
00:48:35That's true.
00:48:37Nobody but Sparks and Peters.
00:48:39I'd like to throw them in the sea, too.
00:48:42Oh, no, they're all right.
00:48:44We know too much about them.
00:48:47It's all Marion's fault.
00:48:49She shouldn't have cried.
00:48:52Ralph, you never told me.
00:48:54Was it an accident?
00:48:56Or did you intend to kill her
00:48:59after she'd made her will?
00:49:01I didn't plan it.
00:49:02I liked her well enough.
00:49:04But when she found out I'd been lying about my income,
00:49:07she accused me of marrying her for her money.
00:49:10I said, of course, that's what I married her for.
00:49:12Then she cried.
00:49:14She was always crying.
00:49:16Then she slapped me.
00:49:18I had my knife in my hand and I...
00:49:25Stop it. Stop it.
00:49:27Don't do that.
00:49:32Put that away.
00:49:48Ralph, I...
00:49:49I'm trying to help you.
00:49:52I still say we should have called the police
00:49:55and told them a prowler broke in and killed her.
00:49:58With the marks of your fingers on her.
00:50:00The scratches on your face.
00:50:03No.
00:50:04We couldn't let anybody see her.
00:50:07No.
00:50:29We couldn't let anybody see her.
00:50:41My시 quadrividades...
00:50:42Can't let anybody see her like anything?
00:50:58Then let's go the pone Gracias home.
00:50:58And a ghost.
00:50:58Yes, you are welcome.
00:51:00A-a-a-a!
00:51:22Mrs. Hughes, call the doctor!
00:51:24She's taken poison. Get the doctor, quick!
00:51:26What?
00:51:27Poison. She's lying there on the floor. Better get a doctor.
00:51:29Run downstairs. Tell Sparks to bring egg white, milk, mustard, anything she can think of.
00:51:33Yes.
00:51:36Why try to save her? Let her die. It's what we want.
00:51:39Don't be so stupid, Ralph.
00:51:40If she's taken poison, we must act as though we cared.
00:51:44If she's taken poison?
00:51:45Maybe just a trick to get a doctor here.
00:51:47We can't let her see a doctor.
00:51:49No.
00:51:50It's easy enough to fool stupid villagers into thinking she's crazy,
00:51:53but a doctor would know better.
00:51:56What'll we do?
00:51:56If she's really taken something, she may die quickly.
00:52:01If she hasn't, I'll call her a doctor.
00:52:15Marion, dear, here's the doctor. He's come to help you.
00:52:20I want to speak to the doctor alone. Go away.
00:52:23Yes, dear.
00:52:30Doctor, listen.
00:52:31I haven't taken poison, and I'm not Marion Hughes.
00:52:35I'm Julia Ross, and I can prove it.
00:52:37If you'd only believe me for just a second,
00:52:39and call Dennis Bruce in London, he'll tell you all about me.
00:52:42Then you really didn't take anything.
00:52:44No, I just said that to get you here.
00:52:47You've got to get me away.
00:52:48To a hospital if you think I'm crazy,
00:52:50or anywhere, just to get me away from here.
00:52:54I know I sound crazy,
00:52:56but that's what they want everyone to think.
00:52:59Because he killed his wife,
00:53:00and she's lying out there at the bottom of the sea.
00:53:03And now they have to have someone to bury in her name.
00:53:06What makes you believe all this?
00:53:08I heard them talking.
00:53:10If you can only get me away from here for a few hours,
00:53:13that's all I ask.
00:53:14Till tomorrow morning.
00:53:16Then Dennis will be here,
00:53:17and your responsibility will be over.
00:53:19My dear, this is all very puzzling.
00:53:22How do I know that this friend of yours will ever get here?
00:53:24I got a letter off to him.
00:53:27They thought it was just a blank sheet of paper.
00:53:29But I had a second letter.
00:53:31I fooled them.
00:53:32I really sent that.
00:53:33When did you post it?
00:53:35Yesterday.
00:53:36It ought to be there today.
00:53:38Enough of that, Peters.
00:53:42Peters.
00:53:46Then you're not really a doctor.
00:53:49I told you not to let her post it.
00:53:51I may not have reached him yet.
00:53:52Peters,
00:53:53you must hurry up to London
00:53:54and get that letter before it's delivered.
00:53:56Take the car and drive as fast as you can.
00:53:59I don't know where he lives.
00:54:01Dennis Bruce, 51 Carrington Street,
00:54:03in Brilmesbury.
00:54:03Dennis Bruce, 51 Carrington Street.
00:54:09I brought Dr. Keller, Mrs. Hughes.
00:54:17We're not too late.
00:54:18No.
00:54:19Did you find out what she took?
00:54:20Oh, she didn't really take anything,
00:54:22doctor.
00:54:23She admitted that she just meant to frighten us.
00:54:26I'm sorry you've had this wild goose chase.
00:54:29But now that you are here,
00:54:31perhaps you'd be good enough to take a look at her.
00:54:33You might give her something to calm her.
00:54:35Certainly.
00:54:37Marion,
00:54:38open the door.
00:54:40Go away.
00:54:40I don't want to see anybody.
00:54:42But Marion, dear,
00:54:43dear, please,
00:54:44don't be afraid.
00:54:45The doctor won't hurt you.
00:54:47No, he won't hurt me.
00:54:48He'll just kill me.
00:54:49That's what you want him to do.
00:54:50You all want me dead.
00:54:52It's hopeless.
00:54:53Hopeless.
00:54:53She,
00:54:53she'll never recover.
00:54:55Oh, doctor,
00:54:56what are we to do?
00:54:57She thinks we're on her enemies.
00:54:59Tried to kill herself,
00:55:00she did.
00:55:01There's no use trying to see her now.
00:55:03She's too upset.
00:55:04I suggest taking her to the hospital
00:55:05and keeping her under observation for a while.
00:55:08Oh, but,
00:55:09uh,
00:55:10uh,
00:55:10my son refuses to have her taken away.
00:55:13Yes,
00:55:13but for her own protection.
00:55:15I must try to persuade my son.
00:55:17He,
00:55:17he's so devoted to Marion.
00:55:19But if,
00:55:19if we say it's just for observation,
00:55:21then I'll make all the arrangements.
00:55:23Possibly I could come for tonight.
00:55:25Oh, I,
00:55:26I think it'd be better if you waited till the morning.
00:55:28Oh, very well.
00:55:30I hope we can help her.
00:55:32I hope so too, doctor.
00:55:33Goodbye.
00:55:34Goodbye, monsieur.
00:55:39Ralph,
00:55:40the doctor will come for her
00:55:41in the morning.
00:55:43She'll be ready.
00:55:55She'll be ready.
00:56:22She'll be ready.
00:56:27She'll be ready.
00:56:29You have a room for rent?
00:56:30Yes.
00:56:31Third floor bet,
00:56:3220 shillings a week,
00:56:33paid in advance,
00:56:34and no cooking.
00:56:34I'll take a look at it.
00:56:36Well,
00:56:36I'll send the girl up with you
00:56:37because the doctor says
00:56:38I've got to spare myself
00:56:39as much as I can.
00:56:40Bertha!
00:56:47Bertha!
00:56:48You know,
00:56:49that girl's never around
00:56:50when she's wanted.
00:56:51Anyway,
00:56:51it's a very tidy room
00:56:52and as quiet as a tombstone.
00:56:54That's fine.
00:56:54I'll take it.
00:56:55I don't have to see it.
00:56:56The children and I
00:56:56will move in tonight.
00:56:57Here,
00:56:58what children?
00:56:58My two little girls.
00:56:59Oh,
00:57:00you'll like them.
00:57:01They're full of life.
00:57:01Sorry,
00:57:02sorry,
00:57:02but I never take children
00:57:03anyway.
00:57:04The room's taken.
00:57:04But I've got to have a room.
00:57:06I've been turned out
00:57:06in my last place.
00:57:07you can try and lay her
00:57:07down the street.
00:57:08Miss Ellingsworth,
00:57:08I think she takes them.
00:57:09It's just around the corner.
00:57:10Oh,
00:57:10I'll rush down there at once.
00:57:11Thank you very much.
00:57:14Children and dogs.
00:57:16Who ever heard
00:57:17of such a thing?
00:57:19Mr.
00:57:20Bruce.
00:57:21Miss Fanny.
00:57:25Miss Fanny,
00:57:26by the head of us here
00:57:27a minute ago.
00:57:29Why,
00:57:30there was only him and me.
00:57:32Here,
00:57:33wait a minute.
00:57:36Hey!
00:57:37Hey there!
00:57:38Here,

00:57:39Stop him!
00:57:40Stop that man!
00:57:42Police!
00:57:57Julia!
00:57:57Julia!
00:57:57Julia!
00:57:57Julia!
00:58:26Julia Ross.
00:58:32Julia.
00:58:34Dennis.
00:58:35Julia, hurry.
00:58:44Dennis?
00:58:46Yes? I'll wait for you downstairs.
00:58:49Oh, yes, I'll hurry.
00:59:06I'll wait for you.
00:59:08Where are you, Dennis?
00:59:11Dennis.
00:59:13Down here.
00:59:19Julia, hurry.
00:59:31You're not Dennis. Who are you?
00:59:36Why are you calling me, Julia?
00:59:40Why don't you answer?
00:59:59You're not.
00:59:59Oh, no.
01:00:03Oh, my God.
01:00:09Oh, no.
01:00:12Oh, my God.
01:00:13Oh, my God.
01:00:14Oh, my God, oh, my God.
01:00:15Oh, my God.
01:00:16I need you to leave the room with one person.
01:00:16Oh, my God.
01:00:17Oh, my God.
01:00:18Oh, my God.
01:00:22Oh, my God.
01:00:50I told you she'd recognize my witch.
01:00:51I thought she'd be too excited.
01:01:16Well, she saved us a lot of trouble.
01:01:19Now that this happened, I'm frightened.
01:01:21We happened a thing to fear.
01:01:23We'll be telling the truth when we say it's suicide.
01:01:26Yes.
01:01:28Who's the weak one, though?
01:01:31Come, let's go down there.
01:01:32Come, let's go down there.
01:02:02Have you threatened to kill herself before she'd be locked up?
01:02:32Yes, thank you.
01:02:34Yes, thank you.
01:02:43We'll be right around there.
01:02:45Come on, let's go down there.
01:02:45Come on.
01:02:47Oh, my God.
01:03:19We thought you tried to do that.
01:03:21You're right, sir.
01:03:22We wanted to see just what you were going to do when you found her there alone.
01:03:26I don't understand.
01:03:29She jumped from that window.
01:03:31No, I only threw my robe over to make you think I jumped.
01:03:34Then I got out through the secret door.
01:03:36It's lucky we met her on the road.
01:03:39Mary, Mary, darling, I don't know what to say.
01:03:42There's nothing for you to say. You're both under arrest.
01:03:45We caught Peter's in London.
01:03:46Peter's?
01:03:47Yes.
01:03:53Stop, or I'll shoot.
01:03:55No! No!
01:04:26You know, I've made a resolution.
01:04:28The next time I apply for a job, I'll ask for the references.
01:04:31I know a good job.
01:04:32Secretary?
01:04:33Oh, a combination.
01:04:34Secretary, nurse, companion, housekeeper.
01:04:36That sounds like a wife.
01:04:38Well, how about it?
01:04:39I'll have to have some time to think it over.
01:04:42How long?
01:04:43Oh, about five seconds.
01:04:44One, two, three, four.
01:04:46What?
01:04:47Oh, yeah.
01:04:50Yeah.
