That was why I reluctantly suggested that
our friends, the police, ought to be told.

:21:07
But it's too late. Our only evidence
has gone up the chimney.

:21:10
But we must help him.
He'll do nothing for himself.

:21:12
He's hopelessly in love with that woman.
It's up to us.

:21:16
Yes, but it won't be easy.
:21:19
It is easy.
I'll go to her and see her myself.

:21:23
- Would that be wise?
- But I don't care if it is or not.

:21:25
I'll tell her we know how the bloodstain got
on the dress and every move of her game.

:21:30
I'll make her talk.
It'll be one woman to another.

:21:33
An impressive situation at any time.
:21:35
She won't be able to help
but give herself away. You'll see.

:21:38
I won't see. I won't be there,
and neither will you.

:21:41
If we're right in what we think,
she's a dangerous woman.

:21:43
She won't give herself away.
You'd be giving her an alternative.

:21:46
She has no alternative.
:21:49
She might murder you.
:21:53
Oh, don't be so melodramatic, Father.
:21:55
Look, my love. Face facts.
:21:58
What is the least that can happen to you
if you tackle this remarkable lady?

:22:02
She'll at once pick up a little pink
telephone and call the police.

:22:06
She will then give you in charge
for concealing a fugitive from justice.

:22:10
Eventually, you will be tried
at the Old Bailey.

:22:13
Well, if you're lucky, you might get off
with, now, let me see...

:22:17
...a couple of years, which you will spend
in Holloway prison...

:22:20
...meditating on the folly of transmuting
melodrama into real life.

:22:25
Well...
:22:27
The best thing you can do, my girl,
is to go back to your Academy...

:22:31
...and practice your soul-shaking antics...
:22:33
...in surroundings where
they can't do any harm.

:22:35
After all, this fellow can't possibly
mean all that to you.

:22:40
But he does, Father.
