:47:03
I had a weekend pass,
a month's pay in my pocket.
:47:06
- And she already had a wedding ring.
- Yes, that's right.
:47:10
We got married. When I got out
of the service I brought her here.
:47:13
It was wonderful.
I rented a little flat, Edgware Road.
:47:17
First time she saw it, she was so happy
she broke down and cried.
:47:20
Naturally. She had a solid roof
over her head and a British passport.
:47:25
You don't know her, how she feels about
me. You will when she gives evidence.
:47:30
Mr Vole, I must tell you
I am not putting her in the witness box.
:47:36
You're not? Why not?
:47:38
She's a foreigner, unfamiliar
with the subtleties of our language.
:47:42
The prosecution could easily trip her up.
:47:44
I hear it may be Mr Myers for the crown.
We can't take chances.
:47:47
Quite. We'd better be going. Miss Plimsoll
is waiting in the car with her pills
:47:51
- and a Thermos of lukewarm cocoa.
- Officer.
:47:55
- But Christine must give evidence.
- Mr Vole, you must learn to trust me.
:48:00
For no other reason than I'm a mean,
ill-tempered old man who hates to lose.
:48:04
Let us wish each other luck.
:48:12
Look, I can't face this without Christine.
I tell you, I need her. Without her I'm sunk.
:48:19
Touching, isn't it?
The way he counts on his wife.
:48:22
Yes. Like a drowning man
clutching at a razor blade.
:48:42
Leonard Stephen Vole, you are
charged on indictment for that you,
:48:47
on the 14th day of October,
in the county of London,
:48:51
murdered Emily Jane French.
:48:54
How say you, Leonard Stephen Vole?
:48:57
Are you guilty or not guilty?
