:18:00
And we lived happily ever after.
:18:03
You know, it's funny to think
that just a year ago...
:18:05
...I sat in that nice bridge pub
actually planning to murder her.
:18:09
And I might have done it...
:18:11
...if I hadn't seen something
that changed my mind.
:18:14
Well, what did you see?.
:18:18
I saw you.
:18:24
What was so odd about that?.
:18:26
The coincidence.
:18:27
Only a week before,
I'd been to a reunion dinner.
:18:30
And the fellows
were talking about you.
:18:32
How you had been court-martialed
during the war.
:18:34
A year in prison.
That was news.
:18:37
Mind you, at college, we'd all said
that Swan would end up in jail.
:18:41
-That cashbox, I suppose.
-Well, what about it?.
:18:44
My dear fellow, everybody knew
you took that money.
:18:48
Poor old Alfred.
:18:55
Thanks very much for the drink.
:18:57
Interesting, hearing about your
matrimonial affairs.
:19:00
I take it you won't be
wanting that car after all.
:19:02
Don't you want me to tell you
why I brought you here?.
:19:07
Yes, I think you'd better.
:19:08
It was when I saw you in that pub
that it happened.
:19:11
Suddenly, everything became quite clear.
:19:15
A few months before,
Margot and I had made our wills.
:19:18
Short affairs, leaving everything we had
to each other, in case of accidents.
:19:22
Hers worked out at just over £90,000.
:19:25
Investments mostly,
all a little too easy to get at.
:19:28
And that was dangerous.
They would be bound to suspect me.
:19:32
I need an alibi, a very good one.
:19:36
Then I saw you.
:19:38
I'd wondered what happened
to people who came out of prison.
:19:41
People like you, I mean.
:19:43
Can they get jobs?.
Do old friends rally round?.
:19:47
Suppose they never had any friends.
:19:50
I became so curious to know
that I followed you.
:19:53
I followed you home that night and--
:19:56
Would you mind passing me
your glass, old boy?.
