I was in a pub and I met a girl.
I don't even remember her name.
1:22:04
We had a drink and walked out together.
1:22:06
We passed the window and saw the fancy
posters, all blue seas and palm trees.
1:22:12
The Grecian isles or somewhere. We went
in for fun and I started asking for folders.
1:22:18
Well, the man gave me a funny look
because I did look a bit shabby.
1:22:21
Anyway, it irritated me,
so I kept asking for the swankiest tours,
1:22:25
all de luxe and cabin on the boat deck,
but it was just an act!
1:22:28
An act? You knew that in a week
you were going to inherit $80,000!
1:22:32
No! It wasn't that way at all.
It was make-believe and childish but...
1:22:37
it was fun and I enjoyed it. I never thought
of killing anyone or inheriting any money.
1:22:41
It's just a coincidence that Mrs French
should be killed only one week later?
1:22:45
I told you! I didn't kill her!
1:22:48
Do you know any reason why Christine
Helm should give the evidence she has
1:22:52
- if it were not true?
- No. I don't know why my wife...
1:22:56
I don't know why I still call her my wife.
She must be lying or out of her mind.
1:23:02
She seemed remarkably
sane and self-possessed.
1:23:04
- But insanity is all you can suggest?
- I don't understand it.
1:23:09
Oh, God! What's happened?
What's changed her?
1:23:11
Very effective, I'm sure.
But in this court we deal with fact.
1:23:15
And the fact, Mr Vole,
is that we've only your word for it.
1:23:18
That you left Mrs French's house
at the time you say,
1:23:21
that you came home at 5 and 20 minutes
past 9, and that you did not go out again!
1:23:26
Somebody must have seen me
in the street or going in the house!
1:23:29
One would think so. But the only person
who did see you come home that night
1:23:33
says it was ten past ten
and that you had blood on your hands.
1:23:37
- I cut my wrist!
- You cut your wrist deliberately!
1:23:40
No, I didn't! I didn't do anything.
1:23:42
But you make it sound as though I did.
I can hear it myself.
1:23:45
You came home at ten past ten!
1:23:47
No, I didn't! You've got to believe me.
You've got to believe me!
1:23:51
You killed Emily French!
1:23:53
No, I didn't! I didn't do it!
1:23:56
I didn't kill her! I never killed anybody!
