1:40:00
I did not have to ask Miss Debenham
1:40:03
if she had ever lived in America,
1:40:06
because during her
interrogation, she said...
1:40:09
I can always call my lawyers
long-distance.
1:40:12
An Englishwoman who had never
lived in America would have said,
1:40:16
"I can always make a trunk call
to my solicitors."
1:40:24
Tout de même, I must thank
the pipe-smoking Colonel Arbuthnott,
1:40:28
for a remark which finally resolved
all my confusions about this...
1:40:33
This extraordinary case.
1:40:36
I prefer to set aside the fact
1:40:39
that he denied ever having spoken
to Colonel Armstrong in India.
1:40:43
And yet he remembered
in great detail
1:40:46
the decorations which
Colonel Armstrong had won
1:40:50
years earlier in France.
1:40:53
I prefer to remember his views
on the British jury system.
1:40:57
Trial by 12 good men and true
is a sound system.
1:41:04
The iron tongue of midnight
1:41:08
hath told 12.
1:41:12
Suddenly...
1:41:13
...the number 12 began to ring
in my head like a great bell.
1:41:20
Twelve.
1:41:22
Doctor, how many wounds
were there in Ratchett's body?
1:41:25
- Twelve.
- Mr. McQueen,
1:41:27
how many capital letters,
each inscribed by a different hand,
1:41:30
were contained in each
of the two threatening messages
1:41:33
you showed me on Ratchett's
correspondence file?
1:41:37
Twelve. Twelve.
1:41:38
Colonel Arbuthnott,
how many persons in a jury?
1:41:41
Twelve.
1:41:45
Pierre Paul Michel,
1:41:47
how many passengers
in the Calais coach,
1:41:49
excluding myself
and the murdered man?
1:41:52
Twelve, monsieur.
1:41:55
- Show me your wallet.
- No!
1:41:56
Mr. Hardman,
you may not speak.
