:49:03
But how inconvenient for you
that she thought quickly...

:49:08
and arranged everything
to look like an accident.

:49:11
You must have been furious. So you...
:49:15
rearranged everything to look like
a murder that looked like an accident.

:49:19
She had picked up the right stone.
You replaced it with the wrong one.

:49:24
I'll bet that other stone,
stained with blood, is still in the corner.

:49:27
As well as the cigarette
that Lee actually smoked.

:49:32
But, no matter,
you knew that the next day...

:49:35
when you conducted
your brilliant investigation...

:49:37
Lee would naturally assume
that she had made the mistake.

:49:40
And it was brilliant. What better detective
than the man who's committed the crime?

:49:44
Every hesitant conclusion,
every stumbling interpretation.

:49:48
And when you suddenly panicked,
protecting your wife...

:49:52
it was dazzling, dear boy.
:50:02
- It's after 12:00 already.
- Is it?

:50:07
Good. That gives us plenty of time...
:50:11
because the crew is happily celebrating
the death of their master in the port.

:50:17
Aren't we lucky?
:50:19
I think so.
:50:28
If you're thinking of setting up
for another fake suicide sequence...

:50:32
I must warn you
of the dangers of improvisation.

:50:35
This last exploit had
far too many loose ends...

:50:39
even though you had four days
to prepare it.

:50:42
You even planned
for the obligatory confession scene...

:50:45
the morning after the murder.
:50:46
You knew that she would
need some fortification...

:50:49
when you started turning the screws.
:50:51
You felt you were safe because
no one else on board drank bourbon...

:50:56
which, incidentally,
you don't pour out of a porthole...

:50:59
and then toss the bottle overboard.
Your pour it down a drain.
