[Music]

Anybody?

[Music]

Leo.

Leo, are you out here?

[Music]

to

go.

[Music]

Okay. I heard you out of bed. I thought

you had, Leo.

[Music]

Couldn't you sleep?

No. My room is cold and damp. Only this

hateful fog seems to be at home there. I

told you this island was no place for

you. My mother lived here and died here

violently.

She lived here for your sake. Kale, I

don't blame you for resenting me.

I hadn't realized that the name Leo

Granger was still headline news.

I never imagined that the press would

revive the whole dirty mess again.

Dead.

I'd have to remain isolated here for a

long while.

But that's no reason for you to stay

buried on this forsaken island. Leo, I

don't hold you accountable for the

position I find myself in.

It's just that for the president at

least, I too would like to avoid the

public. In fact, for a while, I'd like

not to see anybody. I'm afraid that

won't be possible, Gail,

as you insist on remaining here. Why?

There are a few people I must see.

Some, shall we say,

associates. You're going to let them

come out here? I'm going to invite them

out here. Surely you don't think they'd

accept your invocation. They'd be afraid

to. I have an idea that their greed will

outweigh their fear. Their greed? Yes.

It was their greed that made them invest

heavily with me because they thought I

could make more money for them than

anyone else. Then when my financial

empire crashed, they were the first to

Christ swindber.

If I can intimate to them, they will

have a chance of sharing in that

supposed mood. They'll respond to my

invitation.

What was that? I was just knocking on my

pipe yet. No, I meant that noise

outside. Sounded like branch of a tree.

Wind must be coming up. I'll go and see.

[Music]

What is it, doctor? I thought you might

put me up, Leo. What do you want it for

this time? Oh, merely petty last. I had

to eat. I couldn't get a job after

serving my term with you. The newspapers

printed our pictures again. Everybody

recognized me. Won't be convenient to

keep you here too long. I've invited

some of our friends over for the

weekend. That crowd that sent us up? How

did you know that? You were more

confidential as my cellmate than is my

employer. You were less of a menace

behind prison bars than you were in my

accountant's gauge. I have the same

score to settle with that crowd that you

had. I could be of help to you. You

might.

Let's talk it over. Go to the small door

under this balcony. It's open. Wait for

me there. Won't be too long. I said wait

for me there.

[Music]

Leo, I've been thinking. I believe I've

discovered why you failed in business.

You surrounded yourself with the wrong

people. I didn't surround myself with

them. Sylvia Jordan did. How could she?

Blackmail. Practically.

As my secretary, she knew a lot about my

private affairs, which gave her a

certain amount of influence. Then when I

married your mother, instead of her,

Sylvia became vitriolic. She sold me out

to her friends, Richfield, Kavanaaugh, a

whole double crossing gang that

railroaded me.

I wouldn't have cared if that stopped at

that, but they didn't. One of them,

maybe the whole group indirectly, was

responsible for the death of your

mother. Leo, what are you saying?

Oh, the certainty surrounding the murder

of your mother was obviously clear.

Isn't it logical, Gale? that this group

having put me safely away in prison

should come back here to learn from

karma the whereabouts of the fortune I

supposed to have sorted away

failing they struck her down fatally

and they ransacked the place until they

were disturbed by the lords returning

with the servants but if any of them did

murder mother you think they'd risk

coming back out here don't forget they

didn't get what they came

I tell you they won't accept. Well,

let's wait and see.

[Music]

Emiline Bronson, Psychic Research

Laboratory.

Alec Richfield,

this is Emiline. I was engross casting a

horoscope. Otherwise, I would have known

it was you wanting to contact me. You

received an invitation.

Wait a minute.

Let me see. It's from Leo Granger

inviting you to a weekend at Fog Island.

Just a minute.

Furthermore, I can tell you the date.

It's for the 16th.

What? Well, of course, my powers of

devonation haven't diminished. What do

you make of it, Emily? Well, are you

consulting me professionally as an

astrologologist or socially as a friend?

Well, I thought as a good friend of old

standing. In that case, I say Leo wanted

something. Advice. As you may recall, he

never went into any big ventures without

first consulting me. Yes. And you never

advised him without first asking John

Kavanaaugh what to tell him.

Kavanaaugh was very generous with me

when I influenced Leo's transactions.

Yes. And your influence paid you well.

However, I'm curious to know what you

think Leo's up to. Well, I for one am

going out to Fog Island to find out. And

you? I don't know yet. I haven't

decided. Nevertheless, I'll probably see

you out there amongst the others. And

just uh who would the others be? Why?

Our own little crowd, of course. John

Kavanaaugh, Sylvia Jordan, and yes,

that's right.

What is Leo Granger to say, John?

How do you know this is from Leo

Granger? As a private secretary for

years, I might at least be expected to

recognize his handwriting, don't you

think? Of course. Have you read between

the lines? Read what? That I might see

justice done?

Well, doesn't it occur to you that Leo

may have found out how you played up to

Karma while he was out of the way? I

didn't. I always liked Karma. There was

no point in avoiding her just because he

got into trouble. And there was no

point, I suppose, in your chartering

that boat all by yourself just to call

on her at Bog Island. Who said I

chartered a boat? The man who owned it.

He also admitted taking a veiled woman

out to the island alone. I never wear

veils. Besides, why should I want to see

karma? To get information.

That needn't exclude you in Leo's mind

as one of Alex's henchmen. How do you

know that? I know Leo Granger. I know

the way his mind works. He's a very

suspicious and vindictive man. How about

Kingsley? Evelyn Bronston? Yes, even

you. Don't forget the damaging effect

your testimony as his private secretary

had on the case. I'm not forgetting him.

Nevertheless, I don't expect Leo ever to

forgive me. Leo Granger will never

forgive any one of us.

5 years in the penitentiary. He can do a

lot to a man. Not to Leo Granger. You

did one of these

the same identically. And I dare say

there are half a dozen others floating

around amongst our earthwile associates.

Should you go? I think so. You're not

afraid? Are you? Well, not exactly

afraid, but uh But what? Maybe

intrigued. After all, he got away with

quite a fortune. If he's going to pay

off, I want to be there. That's what I

thought. And if you go, I'll go. And if

we go, the others will go.

Will they? There's safety in numbers.

[Music]

Yeah.

Wow.

[Music]

Well, how many out there? For the sound

of their voices, I'd say about four or

five. I can't tell if you're the strong.

Good.

[Music]

So Allison. Yes, sir. The guests are

here. Will you look after the luggage?

Very well, sir.

[Music]

Well, how are you, Leo? Quite fit, John.

And you? Never better. No, Leo. Well,

Sylvia, this is a curious place. Yes,

strangely enough, it was built by

pirates.

But you shouldn't have any difficulty in

finding your way around, John. Thank

you.

Nice to see you again, Sylvia, after all

this time. Thanks, Leo. You're looking

well. You know, penitentiies aren't

exactly a health resort. I wouldn't

recommend them to my friends.

There's a fire waiting. Thank you,

Leo.

If it's any consolation to you, your

water sign predicts satisfaction for you

here. What about you, Emily? Please.

Don't you know a sear is never any good

for herself?

That's a climb. Getting soft, Alec. Oh,

not so you do, is it, Leo? Of course,

cigars may have cut my wind a bit, but I

still smoke them when I want them.

Something I was forced to give up.

Cigars. You got those I sent you? Yes, I

got them. They weren't my fancy.

However, my soulmate enjoyed them and

survived. Lucky.

Hello, Mr. Granger.

I'm Jeff Kingsley, son of Jeffson

Kingsley, to whom you sent an

invitation.

Apparently, you didn't know dad died a

month ago. Oh, no. I I didn't. I'm

sorry. You don't mind? Of course, my

coming out here to see justice done? Of

course not. Come in. Thank you.

Do you know all the others? I introduced

myself to them on the launch on the way

out. Yes, I know everyone, including

your stepdaughter, although I don't know

that she remembers me from college.

Hello. Hello. It's been a long time.

Yes. Surprised? Somewhat. Would you like

me to explain? I don't think that's

necessary. You're not very glad to see

me, either. Should I be? Maybe not.

Would it bore you out any if I were to

tell you I'm glad to see you? Thank you.

I'm sure you're all wondering why I

invited you here.

Let's settle that question right now at

the beginning.

I invited you out here for let me say

retribution.

Now retribution is an odd word can mean

so many things.

It could mean reward. The return of

money you think I stole from you. It

could mean giving you an opportunity of

getting even with me or with each other.

It could mean revenge,

seeking a life for a life.

You see, you killed something very dear

to me. It might have been friendship. It

might have been my ideals.

It might have been

my wife. Perhaps she never knew it, but

I happen to love Karma.

She was more than just a wife to me. She

was my ideal,

my friend.

Whichever one of you killed her will

kill again. just as wantedly.

So, let me warn you to the innocent

Manuel to be wary of the murder whenever

he or she

finds it necessary to strike again. And

that, my dear friends, concludes the

business of the evening. Now, let's all

be as socialable as we can.

Oh, I for mention we have another house

guest, Duck Lake. You all remember Duck

Lake? I'm sure my accountant who was

sent up with me stuck our friends are

having a little drink. Perhaps you care

to join them.

Good evening. If since Leo puts it so

delicately, I'd be delighted to have a

drink

and renew old acquaintance. Oh, by the

way,

I'm afraid I had to send the launch back

to the mainland for some flight repairs.

It'll be back in the morning, probably.

In the meantime, I'm quite sure you'll

find every convenience on this island,

except of course the telephone.

Dinner will be at 8:30.

[Music]

Many years ago, it was the custom of

this household, when it was in the hands

of pirates, to let a man eat his fail,

then permit him to know his fate. I'm

not so barbaric, of course. I'm merely

following the old custom by giving each

one of you a token favor, or clue, shall

we say, to retribution.

Fire

around.

I am

here.

We I think you

[Music]

So your what is this key?

Perhaps it's the key to your happiness,

my dear. Occasely there is a

superstition that the gift of a knife

will cut friendship. I'm not

superstitious. Are you?

Not with this in my hand. And I'm not I

think I retire. I have been used to very

early hours these last few years.

Gail, I think our guests will enjoy a

little music if you feel so disposed.

Anything special you would like? No.

Anything you like? Preferably something

favoring the woodwinds. Why the

woodwind, Leo? I don't know, dear.

There's something very plaintive about

the music of oos, flutes, clarinets,

and something very enticing.

Mind if I join you? And if I did, I'd

join you anyway. You tried that before

and missed. And this time, I'm your

guest, remember? Not mine. Leo Granger.

Would

you mind telling me what this is all

about? What? What is all about? Was

party or whatever it is. Don't you know?

No. Then why did you come? I have my

reasons. I'm sure of that. Good reasons

from your point of view. All of which

means you're not going to tell me.

That's right. Which also means you don't

trust me, right?

[Music]

Odd favors Leo Gib. Or do you understand

yours? Yours, Dr. Lake. I suspect Leo

wants to keep track of you. Mine is

really quite simple. Leo always said my

pencils weren't practical. The eraser,

of course, is one of Leo's innuendos.

I have a feeling Leo is not in his right

mind. Have you felt that?

You understand? I hope that I have never

actually practiced the profession of

medicine. Nevertheless, that doesn't

prevent you from hazarding a personal

opinion. Not necessarily.

But as a student of the occult, perhaps

you could hazard an opinion. The sign

Pisces, of course, you know what this

sign is the case. Two fishes swimming in

opposite direction and with Jupiter in

the ascendant. I should not like to

predict what would happen. His health,

never too sturdy, hasn't been aided by

prolonged inactivity.

I shouldn't like to hazard an opinion

either. You know, doctor, I think you

and I have something in common. No,

what's that may I ask?

[Music]

We've both been in Leo's confidence. I,

from an astral point of view, have been

in his spiritual confidence, and you,

from a business point of view, have been

in his financial confidence.

So, so

possibly by pooling our information, we

might work more or less together to our

mutual advantage.

Never of you to discern that.

[Music]

What's the matter? Where?

John, do you know of any way we can get

off this island? There isn't any way. I

asked the butler. Why? I'm afraid. Of

what? I don't know.

But this to Leo always suggested death.

What to Leo might this suggest? What is

it? Multiplication tables 2 * 2 and so

on. It might be one of Leo's subtle

warnings insinuating you not to attempt

any more juggling your figures to your

own satisfaction.

But I got a feeling it goes deeper than

their table skulls.

[Music]

Oh, I didn't see. He stuffed it in his

pocket too fast.

Alec knows something.

I wonder what that key is to

what key

one Gail got. Why don't you find out? I

will when I get a chance. Watch out for

Young Kingsley. I don't trust him.

Suppose you watch out for young

Kingsley. I will.

I didn't know you played so well. Didn't

you?

[Music]

You know, there was a time I thought I

knew pretty much about you. Did you?

Remember the long walks in the rain,

horseback rides, tennis, the time you

beat me six to three, the funny things

you used to like, your craving for red,

chocolate sundaes, opals.

They weren't your birthstones, were

they? No, I thought not. They were

always bringing you hard luck. Like the

time we were going to the symphony

together and you had on your new high

heeled red slippers. Your heel got

caught in the grading.

You know, it's a shame I couldn't get

those nails to stay in. We went down the

aisle together. And you don't know how

much trouble I had getting those tickets

right in the third row just to show you

off.

Oh, I've still healed, by the way. But I

don't suppose you have any use for it,

do you?

I haven't any use for any heel.

No, I thought not. But will you ever

forget our picnic down by the river bank

at that great field at Daisy's bind us?

The weeping willows.

Remember how ecstatic you were about the

weeping willows?

You know you haven't done what Leo asked

you to. You mean the wooden? Yes. Have

you forgotten? No.

I see.

You weren't going to let me in on it,

were you?

You know I'm what?

Now that

No,

why not?

Suppose you find out if you think it's

important.

Gail, is anything important to you?

Yes. Solitude.

[Music]

famous for the look into the future.

What do you say? You want me to cast

horoscopes? Oh, no. Nothing so

individual. I meant something of a

letter all in like uh you know a seance.

Oh, a for seance. Well, if you're all in

accord, why don't you gather around the

desk? Good.

[Music]

be ready for you, Emily.

Of course, Emily, you'll want the lights

out. It was the desert. Of course, I'm a

tender.

[Music]

Down.

I see you with a burden on your soul. A

heavy burden.

So heavy it may submerge you.

I don't know why it is, but I feel as if

water was coming up over me.

I feel the sensation of drowning. Stop

it. Stop it. I don't want to hear

anymore. Very well then.

[Music]

It's strange, but I can't seem to reach

you. You seem to bar the way.

No

bars are in the way.

It will skip me for the moment.

And for yourself, what do you see?

Myself?

It's very difficult to see for myself.

But I feel about to be elevated.

[Music]

Stop it. Stop it.

Somebody turn on the light.

I will

ne trick there.

Mind telling me how you did it? It was

no trick.

[Music]

Where are you going? I have an idea.

What about

Gail's key?

Oh,

Sean's over already, Emily. Yes, Alec.

I'm rather tired tonight. Why don't you

turn in? I think I will.

I wanted you to get me a book, Alec.

I'm tired, but not sleepy.

I thought perhaps you might pick out

something from Leo's shelf over there.

Don't you think you better select your

own reading material, Emiline? You have

such a good mind. Oh, cut.

Would you be looking for any book in

particular, Alec

or Emiline?

Something light, of course.

Oh, yeah. How about this? What is it?

Crime and punishment

ideal.

Thank you, Alex. Sir, it's getting late.

Time were all turning in. How about it,

John? Ready to call it a night? We are.

I might as well.

Ready, Emily?

[Music]

[Music]

What are you doing out here? I might ask

you the same question. Catch cold in

this fog.

The air is warm. Mind telling me what

you're running away from? Am I running

away? Of course. First from all your

friends by coming after this desolate

spot to live. Now from everyone inside.

What right of you to pry into my private

affairs? Maybe I like you. You have a

very peculiar way of showing it. Well,

I'm a very peculiar person.

Maybe I like you more than you realize.

Really? I realize you're just a little

girl in a lot of trouble. What trouble?

That I mean to find out. Is that all you

mean find out? No, but I knew for a

starter. And after that, Gail, have I

ever done anything to make you mistrust

me? You came out here with the others,

didn't you? Obviously. Why? To see you.

I don't believe you. Gail, why don't you

break down? Be yourself. Why don't you

let me help you? There's only one way

you can help me, and that is to leave me

alone. Now, look here, young lady. Don't

try my patience too far. You might as

well know once and for all I have no

intention of leaving you alone. Very

well, Lynn. I'll leave you alone.

[Music]

Oh, I came in to borrow some cleansing

cream. Well, of course.

I'm not robbing you, am I? No, I seldom

use it. Oh, but you should nightly, my

dear. Too much, father. Nothing should

be too much, father, to protect your

skin.

In this climate, one doesn't need to

take the trouble. But if you don't take

the trouble to preserve your skin now

while it's healthy, you'll regret it.

I'll chance that. Already, it shows the

signs of neglect.

Ma

What an interesting room. The mother

didn't decorate it. These things were

here when Leo bought the plane. Leo

bought it. Stock Karma bought it for

him. Leo bought it in car.

[Music]

Alison.

Yes, sir. Just tidying up a bit, sir. As

a butler or as an escape lifer? Al

Jensen? That's a lie. What? But you're

an escape lifer. I acted a bit phony as

a butler when Granger wasn't around. I

made some pretty wise contacts in the

big house. Contacts that could find out

a lot of things. I wrote a few letters.

I had some answers. Came over with the

mail with the guests tonight. Like this

one. Hello, Dots Cook.

The eel you describe with a scar across

his left palm.

ly Al Janks, the lifer who crashed out

of here about a month ago. I thought you

ought to know because

enjoying yourself, doc?

Yes, I was just looking for you, Leo.

Indeed.

It has to seem a bit ill at ease. That's

a pity. I've given them the run of the

house. What more could they have me do?

Give them enough rope. Hey, Leo.

Something like that.

They're all wondering what you've got up

your sleeve. Including you, Doc. Have

you forgotten, Leo? I know what you've

got in mind, for

have you forgotten that time in Stir

when I showed you how they framed the

two of us and you blew your top

and that day when you learned your wife

had been murdered? The day you really

went stir crazy?

Have you forgotten what you said to me

that day? Under the circumstances, no

one could hold me accountable for what I

said. Pardon me. And especially what you

said came to pass. What' I say, Doc?

Plenty. And if it took your last dollar,

that's just exactly what it did. What?

Take your last dollar? Oh, that's a good

one. That's a fact. However, if you

prefer to believe, as do that, I have a

fortune buried here. I can't prevent

you,

but you said you were looking for me.

What for? I thought you might like to

know what your guests are doing. I know

pretty well what they are doing.

After all, there was nothing I could

ever tell Karma that was encouraging.

All I saw for her was trouble and worry

and her tragic end. You saw that? Oh,

yes, quite clearly and in detail. I saw

her choking her into insensibility.

That's a lie. It is. How do you know?

She wasn't choked to death. She was

stabbed with a knife.

Perhaps you know for certain that she

wasn't first strangled into

unconsciousness. You're making the whole

thing up to give the impression you're

clairvoyant. Unless you had something to

do with her murder. I had less to do

with her murder than you had. Why, you

fond if you dare to.

Come in.

Perhaps you ladies don't realize it. But

your voice is canning you get excited.

Thank you for stopping us, Alex. And

you're keeping this young lady from

harass.

You're very considerate, Mr. Richfield.

I really would like to go to bed. Of

course. I merely thought I might. Come

along, Alec. It was your idea to leave

Dale alone.

[Music]

I'm

down.

Heat. Heat.

[Music]

Looking for something, Alec? Oh,

uh, my pipe cleaners, I thought before I

left them here. I didn't know you smoked

a pipe. Oh, didn't you? I've always been

very interested in pipes. Do you mind if

I have a look at yours? Certainly.

I must let you in my roomly.

Have a cigar.

Thanks.

Night.

Hey.

You're not smoking? Not at the moment.

Mhm.

Very good cigar.

As you should know, Alec, I've always

thought of my comforts. Even managed to

get a few where you sent me. You're

forgetting that having arranged for your

defense, we got you up with 5 years

instead of 25. 5 years was long enough

for you to accomplish your purpose,

Alec.

5 years of receiver for Granger

Incorporated gave you ample time to

liquidate my enterprises for your own

advantage.

By the time you got through milking your

enterprises, there was nothing left to

liquidate. So, you came over here to the

island to see what you could get out of

karma. I advise you to be careful your

accusations, Leo. We are not fooling

anybody now, Alec. There's no jury here,

no judge, nor will there be any witness.

Does that constitute a threat? Take it

for what it's worth, Alec. I might have

let you off had you been content merely

with getting me out of the way for a

while, but that you put Karma out of the

way permanently for that. Alec, get

away. Leo, you can't escape, Alex. Oh,

can't I?

So, it was you who murdered Karma.

I thought so. I suspected you all along,

but I wanted proof. I've got that proof

now, Alec. Obviously, that was the way

you struck her down. a sudden fuss in

the dark without warning, without giving

her the slightest opportunity of

defending herself. You very stupidly use

the same technique, the same knife, no

doubt. So you see now, I think, that

you're not as clever as you thought you

were. You see now, don't you? That you

played right into my hands. You see now,

Alec, you convicted yourself, Alec.

You've sealed your own dome.

You've signed your own death.

[Music]

Hallelujah.

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Heat.

[Music]

Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Down.

[Music]

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

[Music]

Heat.

Heat.

[Music]

Very interesting, Emiline. Very

interesting indeed. And a little

amusing.

What is the fact that Leo should give

you the key without the means of using

it? I don't know what you mean. You know

what that key opens? No. Or how to get

to what it opens? No. I thought not, but

I do. So, it seems to me it might be

wise for us, you and I, to pull our

resources, shall I say, and split

proceeds

equally? Share and share alike.

I'll handle the key.

As you wish.

Follow me.

Heat.

[Music]

Heat.

since you have the key. The privilege is

yours, mighty Emily.

[Music]

What are you doing here, Kingsley? I was

just wondering what you were doing.

I don't think it would do you any good

to find out.

[Music]

[Applause]

Oh my god.

Jack. Jack.

Jack.

[Music]

You all right? I am. But how about you,

Jeff? How does your head feel? Feels as

though somebody had thrown the book at

it. It was a chair.

Oh yeah, that phony doctor.

I've got to find him. Jeff, take it

easy, please. After the way he conked

me, but he's a dangerous criminal. He He

has a prison record. He's got more than

that coming to him. And I think I know

where to find him. Jeff, don't please

for my sake.

For your sake? Yes, Jeff.

Look, come on. You better sit down.

But Gail, you don't seem to understand.

I caught him going through the desk.

Gail, do you have any idea what he was

looking for?

Well, I think I know. Mother told me

once it's something about the top center

drawer. Something in it or near it that

exposes a secret hiding place for

valuables. Valuables? Uh-huh. Well,

don't you think you ought to take a look

and see if he got away with anything? I

have looked. I don't know how to operate

it.

Let me try.

[Music]

If what we're looking for is in here,

we're splitting it 50/50. 50. What makes

you think? Well, that's very generous of

you, John, seeing you think that gun is

loaded. Of course, it's loaded. I loaded

it myself before dinner. You don't think

I trust you around me with a loaded gun,

do you? You idiot.

How did you know I wasn't going to give

you his half? Oh, I know you, John.

Scout. The clue Leo gave me. You're

right, Alec. What we're looking for must

be hidden in here. The table? The clue

that Leo gave me. This slab here. Um,

yes. John, give me a hand

now. Oh, wait a minute. Let's have it

understood now. We share it three ways.

Let's make it four ways.

Just for the sake of sociability. What

makes you imagine you're entitled to

anything? I know where the bodies are

buried.

All right. Understood. respond

one that opens it. He doesn't have a

chance to get it. Give it to me. I like

it.

Oh, what is it?

Read it. Yes, read it.

To whom it may concern. This represents

all I ever stole from Granger

Incorporated. The paper this is written

on.

Unfortunate investments did the rest.

May I suggest you divide it equally

among yourselves so that I may feel

justice is done. Sincerely, Leo Ranger.

I don't believe it. I do. It's just like

Leota had the last laugh.

John, look.

Let's get out of here.

There's no door now.

Get that chisel, Alex.

Yeah, let me smile. Oh.

Oh, that's a trick.

[Music]

Well, Jeff, look there. Where? There.

Here. You hang on. Now, hold on.

[Music]

Hey, I'll bet the key Leo Granger gave

you opens that box.

[Music]

mother's jewelry.

Jeff, wait. Listen to this,

Gail. Darling, this is all that's left

of my inheritance.

When Leo got into his financial

difficulties, I gave him everything else

I had to try to save him, but it went

with the rest into unfortunate

investments.

Please don't blame him too much.

He tried.

But Gail, darling, leave this island as

soon as you can. There's no good will

ever come to anybody here.

God bless you and try to be happy. Your

loving mother.

the water.

Poor mother. She knew. You mean she knew

what you put yourself through

needlessly, Gail? Needlessly? Yes. Don't

think I haven't seen through you. Don't

think I don't know why you ran away from

us all. It was your wounded ego. Ego?

But Jeff, every place I went, people

looked at me accusingly. I knew what

they were thinking. They were thinking

she's Leo Granger's stepdaughter, and

she'll come in for her share of his

loot, too. I knew what you were

thinking, Gail, but you were wrong. Dead

wrong.

I I'll bet you even thought that was the

way I felt about you. Of course. And you

thought I came out here with those cheap

chislers to grab off a hunk of loot? Oh,

I didn't know what to think, Jeff. I

didn't want to. But how could I think

otherwise? You came over with them.

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

Get away from me. Are you dirty wax? We

didn't give a woman a break. If it

wasn't for you, we wouldn't be in this.

Well, I suppose this is our fault. We

got testimony that convicted him.

[Applause]

John, help me. I can't swim.

[Applause]

[Music]

What's that?

It's the launch coming back. Your

launch? I recognize the motor. How long

will it take you to pack? For what?

Well, you're carrying out your mother's

wishes, aren't you? Remember, she said

leave the island at once, and that's

now. No, but Jeff, don't argue. I'm

taking you away from this place at once.

Even if I have to kidnap you, you won't

have to kidnap me. Jeff, well, then

hurry.

[Music]

[Applause]

Alex, help me. Oh,

[Music]

heat.

Wonderful.

Heat. Heat.

[Applause]

[Music]

Heat.

[Applause]

Heat.

You ready? Yes, Jeff, I'm ready. Let's

get going.

Oh, but I'll have to find Leo and tell

him I'm going. He isn't in his room. I

found Leo. He has no objection to you

going.

Oh, but don't you think we ought to find

out if any of the others want to come

with us? I found that out, too. They're

not coming with us. Not this trip. I'll

send the launch back to them later.

There's sun on the mainland. Gail. Um,

that's what you need, Gail. Son, more

than anything else. Unless it's me. I'll

settle for both, Jeff.
