1:13:00
he had blood on the sleeves of his coat,
1:13:02
and that he said to you
"I have killed her"?
1:13:08
That is the truth.
1:13:09
That is the truth, before God?
1:13:13
That is the truth.
1:13:15
Thank you.
1:13:22
Mrs Vole, or Mrs Helm,
which do you prefer to be called?
1:13:26
- It does not matter.
- Does it not?
1:13:28
In this country we are inclined to take
a rather more serious view of marriage.
1:13:32
However, it would appear that when
you first met the prisoner in Hamburg
1:13:37
- you lied to him about your marital status.
- I wanted to get out of Germany, so...
1:13:41
You lied, did you not?
Just yes or no, please.
1:13:44
- Yes.
- Thank you.
1:13:46
And in arranging the marriage,
you lied to the authorities?
1:13:49
I, um, did not tell the truth
to the authorities.
1:13:52
- You lied to them?
- Yes.
1:13:55
And in the ceremony, when you swore
to love, honour and cherish your husband,
1:13:59
- that too was a lie?
- Yes.
1:14:01
And when the police questioned you
about this wretched man
1:14:05
who believed himself married and loved,
1:14:07
- you told them...
- I told them what he wanted me to.
1:14:10
You told them that he was at home
with you at 25 minutes past 9,
1:14:13
- and now you say that that was a lie?
- Yes, a lie!
1:14:18
And when you said that he had
accidentally cut his wrist, again, you lied?
1:14:22
- Yes!
- And today you told a new story entirely.
1:14:27
The question is, Frau Helm,
were you lying then, are you lying now?
1:14:30
Or are you not, in fact,
a chronic and habitual liar?!
1:14:37
Carter, Carter!
The other pill. Under the tongue.
1:14:42
My lord, is my learned friend to be
allowed to bully and insult the witness?
1:14:46
Mr Myers, this is a capital charge
and, within the bounds of reason,
1:14:50
I should like the defence
to have every latitude.
1:14:57
My lord, may I also
remind my learned friend
