1:19:00
Damn it,
the man was a perfect stranger.
1:19:02
- She'd never seen him before.
- You feel warmly in the matter.
1:19:11
I don't know what you're driving at.
1:19:12
Then let us be practical
and drive at facts.
1:19:15
Did you know Colonel Armstrong?
1:19:18
Not to speak to.
1:19:20
You see, his outfit and mine
wouldn't have mixed much.
1:19:23
I'm Indian army.
He was British army, serving in India.
1:19:26
Royal Scots.
1:19:28
- How did you know?
- It was in the papers
1:19:30
when he shot himself
after the kidnapping.
1:19:35
Rotten show.
1:19:37
Thought he'd been tougher than that.
1:19:39
After all, he got a D.S.O.
And an M.C. In France.
1:19:46
Distinguished Service Order.
1:19:51
Military Cross.
1:19:53
Mon colonel,
1:19:55
Ratchett was responsible
for five deaths:
1:19:59
The suicide
of the falsely accused maid.
1:20:04
The murder of the Armstrong child.
1:20:08
The death of Mrs. Armstrong,
1:20:11
while giving premature birth
to a stillborn baby.
1:20:16
And the ultimate suicide
of Colonel Armstrong,
1:20:19
in the face of multiple
and intolerable bereavements!
1:20:23
I would have understood his action
1:20:25
if, in addition to the D.S.O. And M.C.,
he had been awarded the V.C.
1:20:31
Which stands, as you may know,
for Victoria Cross
1:20:34
and is awarded for valor.
1:20:37
Then, in my opinion,
1:20:40
Ratchett deserved what he got.
1:20:42
Though I'd sooner have seen him
properly tried by jury.
1:20:46
Trial by 12 good men and true
is a sound system.
1:20:55
We believe the murder
was committed at 1:15.
1:20:59
What were you doing then?
