:34:01
we accept the evidence
of witnesses who speak only Bulgarian
:34:05
and who must have an interpreter.
:34:07
We accept the evidence
of deaf-mutes who cannot speak at all,
:34:10
as long as they tell the truth.
:34:13
You're aware that when you're
in the witness box you will be sworn
:34:16
- and you will testify under oath?
- Yes.
:34:19
Leonard came home at 9.26 precisely
and did not go out again.
:34:23
The truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth. Is that better?
:34:30
- Mrs Vole, do you love your husband?
- Leonard thinks I do.
:34:35
- Well, do you?
- Am I already under oath?
:34:38
Whatever your gambit may be,
do you know that, under British law,
:34:42
you cannot be called to give testimony
damaging to your husband?
:34:46
How very convenient.
:34:48
We are dealing with a capital crime.
:34:50
The prosecution
will try to hang your husband.
:34:55
He is not my husband.
:35:03
Leonard and I went through
a form of marriage,
:35:06
but I had a husband living somewhere
in East Germany, in the Russian zone.
:35:10
- Did you tell Leonard?
- I did not. It would have been stupid.
:35:14
He would not have married me and
I'd have been left to starve in the rubble.
:35:18
But he did marry you
and brought you safely here.
:35:20
Don't you think you should be grateful?
:35:23
One can get very tired of gratitude.
:35:25
Your husband loves you
very much, does he not?
:35:28
Leonard?
He worships the ground I walk on.
:35:31
And you?
:35:33
You want to know too much.
:35:36
Auf Wiedersehen, gentlemen.
:35:39
Thank you for coming in, Mrs Vole.
Your visit has been most reassuring.
:35:44
Do not worry, Sir Wilfrid. I will give him
an alibi and I shall be very convincing.
:35:49
There will be tears in my eyes when I say
"Leonard came home at 9.26 precisely. "
:35:54
You're a very remarkable woman,
Mrs Vole.
:35:59
And you're satisfied, I hope?
