1:24:01
He couldn't produce this
without questions being asked...
1:24:04
...so he lived on it.
1:24:06
He's been living on it
since the 27th of March.
1:24:09
Well, Mr. Wendice?.
1:24:11
Before you came,
he was trying to persuade me...
1:24:14
...to go to the police with the
most fantastic story you ever heard.
1:24:18
Apparently, I bribed Swan
to murder my wife so that--
1:24:22
Correct me if I go wrong, Mark.
1:24:24
So that I could inherit all her money.
1:24:26
And that isn't all.
1:24:28
You remember Mr. Halliday's letter?.
1:24:30
Well, apparently,
Swan didn't steal it, I did.
1:24:33
And I wrote those
two blackmail notes...
1:24:36
...and I kept Mr. Halliday's letter
and planted it on the body.
1:24:41
-And the stocking--
-Yes, the stocking.
1:24:43
I'd better tell this.
It sounds more like a confession.
1:24:45
I substituted-- Is that the right word?.
1:24:48
Yes, I substituted my wife's
other stocking for the one that--
1:24:53
You do follow me, don't you?.
What else, Mark?.
1:24:56
He told Swan he'd hide his key
somewhere out here...
1:25:00
...probably up on this ledge.
1:25:03
Swan let himself in.
1:25:05
He hid behind the curtains,
then Wendice telephoned.
1:25:08
-That brought her--
-One moment.
1:25:10
If Swan had used Mr. Wendice's key,
it would have been on him when he died.
1:25:14
Besides, how did Mr. Wendice get in
when he returned from the hotel?.
1:25:17
She could have let him in.
1:25:19
He could've taken his key
from Swan's pocket before you got here.
1:25:23
He let himself in with his own key.
That came out in the trial.
1:25:26
-Don't you remember?.
-Come on, Mark. Your move.
1:25:34
Swan could have taken the key
down from here...
1:25:37
...unlocked the door...
1:25:39
...then replaced the key
on the ledge before he came in.
1:25:42
This is all very interesting,
but it isn't getting me any nearer...
1:25:45
...to what I came to find out.
1:25:47
But this is life-and-death.
What else matters?.
1:25:49
What matters to me is where
Mr. Wendice got this money.
1:25:52
That's all I want to know.
