1:11:01
How long have you really known Amthor?
1:11:04
- I don't lie very well, do I?
- Well?
1:11:08
It's a long story and not very pretty.
1:11:10
I got lots of time, and I'm not squeamish.
1:11:23
Amthor is blackmailing me.
1:11:27
I more or less figured that.
How does it work?
1:11:29
My husband is 65. He's in love with me.
1:11:33
I'm fond of him. I'm grateful.
He's been understanding, but...
1:11:39
I've gone out with other men.
1:11:44
- I find men very attractive.
- I imagine they meet you halfway.
1:11:50
When I first knew Marriott, I didn't realize
how close he was to Amthor.
1:11:54
And it took me a while
to discover just how insidious Amthor is...
1:11:58
- because he did me a lot of good.
- What kind of good?
1:12:01
He treated my centers of speech.
Really, there's something to it.
1:12:05
- I have a psychological impediment.
- He did a swell job.
1:12:09
You talk as good as I do now.
1:12:11
His system is partly mumbo-jumbo
and partly the real thing.
1:12:15
He flatters you. He gets into your past.
1:12:19
You talk and talk and...
1:12:23
That's the awful way he works:
Uncovering a basis for blackmail.
1:12:28
Finally, he asked for the jade.
1:12:30
I agreed. I had no choice.
He knew too much about me.
1:12:33
He threatened to go to my husband.
1:12:36
Sounds like quite a past.
1:12:39
A younger man
than my husband might accept it...
1:12:42
or get drunk or divorce me...
1:12:45
but he's not young.
1:12:46
I think it would kill him.
1:12:53
I couldn't risk it, so I agreed.
1:12:55
Before I could turn the jade
over to Amthor, it was stolen.
1:12:58
The man who took it made it clear...
