Thank you.
:04:11
- Could you hear everything?
- (Woman) Yes.

:04:16
- You seem confused.
- I don't know why you asked me to come.

:04:21
- I thought it was obvious.
- No, not really.

:04:25
- You...
- What you're trying to say

:04:27
is that I lied to your husband.
:04:30
Well, that's correct, Mrs Kennicut.
:04:33
I even went so far as to falsify the report.
:04:37
- Would you like a glass of water?
- No. Nothing, thank you.

:04:41
In point of fact you were having an affair.
:04:44
- The man's name was Archer.
- It's over, Mr Brimmer.

:04:51
But I'm sure you already know that.
:04:55
It was a mistake.
:04:58
A stupid mistake.
:05:01
But I ended it.
:05:03
And it won't ever happen again.
:05:08
Why didn't you tell my husband the truth?
:05:11
Oddly enough, Mrs Kennicut,
I am a moralist -

:05:15
a vanishing species, so I'm told.
:05:22
A thousand broken marriages
come across my desk -

:05:25
infidelities, domestic deceit.
:05:31
In your case, ten years of marriage
and one brief indiscretion.

:05:36
So, why not bend the truth a little bit?
:05:43
- But... Then you're not going to tell him?
- I haven't and I won't.
