How far behind am I? 381 00:28:23,133 --> 00:28:25,567 Oh, I'd say you had a pretty good head start. 382 00:28:25,633 --> 00:28:27,667 I seem to have run down suddenly. 383 00:28:27,733 --> 00:28:29,967 How about a nice, friendly push? Sure. 384 00:28:30,067 --> 00:28:32,533 Champagne all right? Whiskey with a little water, if you don't mind. 385 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,633 But don't drown it. That would be a catastrophe, huh? 386 00:28:35,700 --> 00:28:38,233 Fix it for you myself. 387 00:28:42,967 --> 00:28:46,900 You don't remember me, do you? 388 00:28:46,967 --> 00:28:49,533 You're making things tougher for me by the minute. 389 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,633 That accent... is it Polish? Uh-huh. 390 00:28:52,700 --> 00:28:56,833 And what red-letter day did I meet a beautiful Polish lady? 391 00:28:56,900 --> 00:29:00,267 On the most important day in her life, Major. 392 00:29:00,333 --> 00:29:02,367 Germany. 393 00:29:02,433 --> 00:29:05,133 The camp at Belsen. Of course. 394 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,233 But you've changed quite a bit. 395 00:29:07,300 --> 00:29:10,733 No wonder I didn't recognize you. 396 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,800 I've often wondered what had become of you. 397 00:29:12,867 --> 00:29:16,200 I don't believe you remember anything about me at all. 398 00:29:16,267 --> 00:29:19,100 Oh, but I do. I-I even remember your name. 399 00:29:19,167 --> 00:29:21,200 It's Victoria. Victoria Der... 400 00:29:21,267 --> 00:29:25,533 Dernakova, Major. And it's Karin, not Victoria. 401 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,933 Karin. K-A-R-I-N? 402 00:29:28,067 --> 00:29:30,367 Mm-hmm. Here we are. 403 00:29:30,433 --> 00:29:33,300 Thank you. 404 00:29:33,367 --> 00:29:35,800 - Dinner is served. - Thank you, Cai. 405 00:29:35,867 --> 00:29:40,067 May I claim the right as an old friend of the household? 406 00:29:40,100 --> 00:29:42,400 Looks like you have already. 407 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:24,700 Be a shame to wake him, even for ice cream. 408 00:30:24,767 --> 00:30:29,633 Faker! A favor for a favor. Thanks! 409 00:30:32,167 --> 00:30:34,300 Oh, don't you like it? 410 00:30:34,367 --> 00:30:36,633 Oh, sure. But, Margaret... 411 00:30:36,700 --> 00:30:40,467 Yes? Well, she usually doesn't let me eat after dinner. 412 00:30:40,533 --> 00:30:42,900 Oh, but this is a special occasion, isn't it? 413 00:30:42,967 --> 00:30:46,633 Oh, sure. And maybe we just won't tell Margaret, huh? 414 00:30:46,700 --> 00:30:50,033 She'll find out. 415 00:30:50,100 --> 00:30:52,133 Is something wrong, Mrs. Spender? 416 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:56,300 Nothing at all, Margaret. I just brought Chris a dish of ice cream. 417 00:30:56,367 --> 00:30:59,367 Chris doesn't usually eat just before going to bed. 418 00:30:59,433 --> 00:31:05,267 Well, I just thought with everybody having fun downstairs that... 419 00:31:05,333 --> 00:31:08,600 Of course, if you prefer him not to have it, I... 420 00:31:08,667 --> 00:31:11,067 Why, not at all. 421 00:31:11,100 --> 00:31:13,100 It's up to Chris. 422 00:31:14,900 --> 00:31:16,933 What do you think, Chris? 423 00:31:17,067 --> 00:31:21,433 I can put it in the icebox for lunch tomorrow. 424 00:31:21,500 --> 00:31:24,100 Okay. 425 00:31:24,167 --> 00:31:27,633 We find it better to let Chris make his own decisions. 426 00:31:27,700 --> 00:31:29,767 I see. 427 00:31:32,833 --> 00:31:35,367 It will taste better at lunch, Chris. 428 00:31:35,433 --> 00:31:38,067 Good night, dear. Good night. 429 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,267 I am sorry, Margaret. I didn't realize... 430 00:31:53,333 --> 00:31:55,933 Oh, it was my fault, Mrs. Spender. I should have told you. 431 00:31:56,067 --> 00:31:59,767 But Chris has always been a very impulsive child. 432 00:31:59,833 --> 00:32:03,833 I found the best way to handle him is to let him discipline himself. 433 00:32:05,667 --> 00:32:09,233 Good night, Margaret. Good night, Mrs. Spender. 434 00:32:12,067 --> 00:32:14,333 Five pounds. 435 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,400 Nice avocado today. Zucchini. 436 00:32:16,467 --> 00:32:18,867 I recommend the zucchini. Major. 437 00:32:18,933 --> 00:32:20,933 With a touch of garlic and mozzarella, there's nothing like it. 438 00:32:23,167 --> 00:32:25,200 All right, get the lady a couple of pounds. 439 00:32:25,267 --> 00:32:27,900 The real stuff, now, from the basement. S�, signore. The best. 440 00:32:27,967 --> 00:32:32,367 Small world, isn't it? Germany, Telegraph Hill, and the New Union Grocery. 441 00:32:32,433 --> 00:32:34,767 You do your marketing here too, Major? 442 00:32:34,833 --> 00:32:36,933 Only since I found it's where you do yours. 443 00:32:37,067 --> 00:32:40,233 Besides, we didn't have a chance to finish our talk the other evening. 444 00:32:40,300 --> 00:32:45,533 Well, it isn't pleasant for me to talk about things that happened in the camp. 445 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,933 I'd like to forget about them. 446 00:32:48,067 --> 00:32:51,067 That's, uh... That's not what I wanted to talk to you about. 447 00:32:51,100 --> 00:32:53,900 I was telling my cook about that chicken dish I had at your house the other night. 448 00:32:53,967 --> 00:32:55,867 She can't swing it without the recipe. 449 00:32:56,067 --> 00:32:59,700 Don't laugh. I'm a San Franciscan. Eating's serious business with me. 450 00:32:59,767 --> 00:33:02,967 I thought the law was your business, Major. 451 00:33:03,067 --> 00:33:06,967 Technically, it is. You see, my father's death put me in a curious situation. 452 00:33:07,067 --> 00:33:09,767 According to the sign on the door, I'm the senior member of the firm. 453 00:33:09,833 --> 00:33:12,467 But most of our clients seem to wanna do business with the junior members. 454 00:33:12,533 --> 00:33:15,467 One of 'em's 65, the other's 62. 455 00:33:15,533 --> 00:33:18,400 So that leaves me twiddling my thumbs and cleaning out ashtrays. 456 00:33:18,467 --> 00:33:22,633 And finding new recipes for your cook. Exactly. 457 00:33:25,533 --> 00:33:28,300 If I give you the recipe, 458 00:33:28,367 --> 00:33:30,667 will you tell me something too? 459 00:33:30,733 --> 00:33:33,767 Blackmail, huh? 460 00:33:33,833 --> 00:33:36,800 You and Alan do not like each other. Why? 461 00:33:36,867 --> 00:33:39,333 Where did you ever get an idea like that? 462 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,433 I saw you together at the house. 463 00:33:41,500 --> 00:33:44,633 Well, the fact is that Alan thinks I've had things too easy all my life. 464 00:33:44,700 --> 00:33:47,400 You know, a rich man's son, lazy and drinks too much. 465 00:33:47,467 --> 00:33:49,633 Unfortunately, he's right. 466 00:33:49,700 --> 00:33:52,467 Two pounds mozzarella. The best. All right, Tony. 467 00:33:52,533 --> 00:33:55,300 I'll take these too. 468 00:33:55,367 --> 00:33:58,967 Well, I think this is everything. 469 00:33:59,067 --> 00:34:01,500 I'm sure you have some good points, Major. 470 00:34:01,567 --> 00:34:04,967 Oh, I suppose so. I'm kind to animals. Handle a boat pretty well. 471 00:34:05,067 --> 00:34:07,233 And you play the piano beautifully. 472 00:34:07,300 --> 00:34:12,533 And I make beautiful circles on a bar with a highball glass. Thank you, Mrs. Spender. 473 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:16,233 Let me know how you like the mozzarella. I will, Tony. Good-bye. 474 00:34:16,300 --> 00:34:20,867 Bye. Well, now that that's all settled, how about lunch? 475 00:34:20,933 --> 00:34:24,067 I'm afraid I couldn't. Why not? 476 00:34:24,100 --> 00:34:28,467 'Cause you're married now? Believe me, I'm very much aware of it, and I respect it. 477 00:34:28,533 --> 00:34:30,867 Husbands are husbands, and friends are friends. 478 00:34:30,933 --> 00:34:32,933 And, who knows? Someday, you might need a friend. 479 00:34:36,533 --> 00:34:41,367 Some other time, perhaps. They are expecting me home for lunch today. 480 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,667 Good-bye. Good-bye. 481 00:35:01,133 --> 00:35:04,200 Oh, I'm sorry! I'm not fast enough for you. 482 00:35:08,633 --> 00:35:12,400 Chris, a little playhouse. You never told me about it. 483 00:35:12,467 --> 00:35:14,867 I don't play in it anymore. It's no good. 484 00:35:14,933 --> 00:35:17,733 Oh, we will fix it and use it again. Here's the ball, Mom. 485 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,067 Come on. We had one at home. 486 00:35:20,100 --> 00:35:22,567 It was so much fun. Don't go in there. 487 00:35:22,633 --> 00:35:24,967 Is there something you don't want me to see? 488 00:35:25,067 --> 00:35:27,767 No, but it's dangerous. 489 00:35:36,333 --> 00:35:40,367 - Chris, what happened there? - It was the explosion. 490 00:35:40,433 --> 00:35:42,767 Explosion? What kind of explosion? 491 00:35:42,833 --> 00:35:47,067 My chemical set. It happened a long time ago. 492 00:35:47,133 --> 00:35:50,267 Come on, Mom! Let's play some more ball! 493 00:35:53,767 --> 00:35:55,933 Tell me, darling, were you hurt? 494 00:35:56,067 --> 00:35:59,300 No, it was nothing. It just made a loud noise. 495 00:35:59,367 --> 00:36:02,467 Well, I'm going to ask Alan to have it fixed. 496 00:36:02,533 --> 00:36:04,533 No! Please don't, Mom. 497 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,933 Why not? 'Cause he doesn't know anything about it. 498 00:36:07,067 --> 00:36:09,117 He wasn't here when it happened. 499 00:36:09,317 --> 00:36:11,367 You won't tell him, Mom, will you? 500 00:36:14,733 --> 00:36:17,467 Of course not, if you don't want me to. 501 00:36:17,533 --> 00:36:19,767 We'll just keep it between us, okay? 502 00:36:19,833 --> 00:36:21,967 Okay. Thanks, Mom. 503 00:36:22,067 --> 00:36:26,067 Come on! Pitch! Pitch. 504 00:36:26,100 --> 00:36:31,167 Good one! Throw it overhand, like that. 505 00:36:35,700 --> 00:36:37,900 Margaret? 506 00:36:39,733 --> 00:36:42,067 Margaret? 507 00:37:13,133 --> 00:37:15,900 Is there something you wanted, Mrs. Spender? Oh. 508 00:37:15,967 --> 00:37:18,867 I'm sorry, Margaret. I-I was looking for you, 509 00:37:18,933 --> 00:37:21,933 and I couldn't help admiring this beautiful album. 510 00:37:22,067 --> 00:37:24,100 Was it Aunt Sophie's? Yes. 511 00:37:24,167 --> 00:37:26,500 She gave it to me. Oh. 512 00:37:26,567 --> 00:37:28,600 What is it you wanted, Mrs. Spender? 513 00:37:28,667 --> 00:37:32,333 Oh, I... I just wanted to ask you, 514 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,733 what exactly happened in the little playhouse? 515 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,867 The playhouse? Yes. 516 00:37:38,067 --> 00:37:40,267 Did Chris take you there? 517 00:37:40,333 --> 00:37:43,400 No. I... I came upon it by accident. 518 00:37:43,467 --> 00:37:47,767 I asked Chris, but he didn't want to talk about it. 519 00:37:47,833 --> 00:37:50,700 He did say there was an explosion from his chemical set. 520 00:37:50,767 --> 00:37:52,767 Oh, nonsense. 521 00:37:52,833 --> 00:37:55,600 His chemical set was just a harmless toy. 522 00:37:55,667 --> 00:37:57,700 He must have stolen something from the kitchen... 523 00:37:57,767 --> 00:38:01,267 some cleaning fluid or something that caused the explosion. 524 00:38:01,333 --> 00:38:04,300 Chris thinks Mr. Spender still doesn't know, but, 525 00:38:04,367 --> 00:38:06,833 of course, you told him, Margaret. 526 00:38:06,900 --> 00:38:08,933 No, I never did. 527 00:38:09,067 --> 00:38:11,300 Margaret, you should have. 528 00:38:11,367 --> 00:38:16,500 Well, Chris was terribly afraid Mr. Spender would punish him. He begged me not to tell. 529 00:38:16,567 --> 00:38:19,433 But Chris should have been made to understand never to do a thing like that. 530 00:38:19,500 --> 00:38:21,567 He could have been killed. 531 00:38:21,633 --> 00:38:24,433 Well, he wasn't. He wasn't hurt at all. 532 00:38:24,500 --> 00:38:27,067 I saw no reason to make an issue of it then, 533 00:38:27,133 --> 00:38:29,767 and certainly there's no reason to make an issue of it now. 534 00:38:29,833 --> 00:38:32,100 I'm not trying to make an issue of it, Margaret. 535 00:38:32,167 --> 00:38:36,133 But, surely, you can't blame me for being worried and... and very much concerned. 536 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:41,100 Concerned. How long have you been concerned about Chris, a few weeks? 537 00:38:41,167 --> 00:38:43,933 I've been concerned about him all his life, night and day. 538 00:38:44,067 --> 00:38:47,067 And, now, you tell me that you're concerned... 539 00:38:47,133 --> 00:38:49,133 about something that happened years ago. 540 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,933 Even then, it was I who comforted him, not you. 541 00:38:52,067 --> 00:38:57,867 Thank you for being so frank. Now I know where we stand. 542 00:38:58,067 --> 00:39:02,067 From the moment I came here, you've looked upon me as an intruder in this house. 543 00:39:02,133 --> 00:39:04,800 That's why you dare talk to me like this. 544 00:39:04,867 --> 00:39:07,667 Well, I'll tell you something. You're wrong, Margaret. 545 00:39:07,733 --> 00:39:10,233 You are the intruder, not I. 546 00:39:10,300 --> 00:39:13,900 Are you giving me notice, Mrs. Spender? Yes. 547 00:39:13,967 --> 00:39:17,067 I was a fool not to do it long ago. 548 00:39:18,533 --> 00:39:21,933 Very well. I'll start packing at once. 549 00:39:39,067 --> 00:39:42,567 Alan? Hello, darling. 550 00:39:42,633 --> 00:39:44,900 I thought you would never get home. 551 00:39:44,967 --> 00:39:47,067 What's the matter? Anything wrong? 552 00:39:47,267 --> 00:39:49,867 No, not anymore. 553 00:39:49,933 --> 00:39:54,067 I had it out with Margaret. She's leaving. 554 00:39:54,133 --> 00:39:57,333 You what? Have you both gone crazy? 555 00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,667 Do you want to hear what happened? I don't care what... 556 00:39:59,733 --> 00:40:02,333 This is ridiculous! But, darling, 557 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,533 you wouldn't say that if you'd heard how she talked to me. 558 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,633 She acted as if Chris was her child, 559 00:40:07,700 --> 00:40:10,833 and she even accused me of deliberately turning him against her and you. 560 00:40:10,900 --> 00:40:15,233 Oh. So it's about Chris. 561 00:40:15,300 --> 00:40:17,867 Well, can't you see, darling? Margaret is jealous... 562 00:40:17,933 --> 00:40:20,700 because the boy's become so attached to you. 563 00:40:20,767 --> 00:40:23,233 You should be the first to understand that. 564 00:40:23,300 --> 00:40:25,367 And you, you should be the first to understand... 565 00:40:25,433 --> 00:40:29,133 that Margaret and I can never live together in the same house. 566 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,967 Now, look, Karin. 567 00:40:33,033 --> 00:40:35,567 Margaret has given years of her life to Chris. 568 00:40:35,633 --> 00:40:37,800 You can't just dismiss her... 569 00:40:37,867 --> 00:40:42,333 like a servant that stepped out of line. 570 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,700 You're upset now, darling. But when you've had time to think it over, 571 00:40:44,767 --> 00:40:47,300 you'll realize I'm right. 572 00:40:47,367 --> 00:40:51,000 If Margaret said anything to you she shouldn't have, she'll apologize. 573 00:40:51,067 --> 00:40:53,433 I'll see to that myself. 574 00:41:13,067 --> 00:41:15,667 Come in. 575 00:41:18,300 --> 00:41:20,467 May I speak to you for a moment, Mrs. Spender? 576 00:41:23,067 --> 00:41:25,133 Please, come in. 577 00:41:31,433 --> 00:41:36,533 What is it, Margaret? About yesterday, I should like to apologize. 578 00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,767 I said things I shouldn't have. I'm sorry. 579 00:41:38,833 --> 00:41:43,300 It doesn't matter. Mr. Spender wishes you to remain. You know that. 580 00:41:43,367 --> 00:41:47,300 But things will be very difficult if you feel that I can't be trusted with Chris. 581 00:41:47,367 --> 00:41:50,433 What happened between us has nothing to do with Chris. 582 00:41:50,500 --> 00:41:53,467 I never doubted that you have Chris's welfare at heart. 583 00:41:53,533 --> 00:41:56,200 It's kind of you to say so, Mrs. Spender, 584 00:41:56,267 --> 00:41:59,800 but I'd feel better if you accepted my apology too. 585 00:42:01,933 --> 00:42:05,300 Very well. I accept it, if that makes you feel better. 586 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,300 Isn't it time to bring Chris home from the party? 587 00:42:11,367 --> 00:42:13,433 I'm leaving right now. 588 00:43:38,100 --> 00:43:39,900 Oh. Alan. 589 00:43:39,967 --> 00:43:42,233 What are you doing in there? 590 00:43:42,300 --> 00:43:45,967 I... I was just looking around. 591 00:43:49,067 --> 00:43:51,500 - Looking around? - Mm-hmm. 592 00:43:52,933 --> 00:43:55,500 For what? Nothing, Alan. 593 00:43:55,567 --> 00:43:57,667 Nothing. I... 594 00:43:57,733 --> 00:44:01,467 I just wanted to see the inside of the playhouse. 595 00:44:08,300 --> 00:44:10,767 Mom? 596 00:44:14,733 --> 00:44:17,433 Mom! Chris! 597 00:44:19,667 --> 00:44:21,833 Darling, I'm so glad to see you. 598 00:44:21,900 --> 00:44:24,167 Tell me, did you have a good time at Jimmy's party? Mm-hmm. 599 00:44:24,233 --> 00:44:26,900 Did he like your present? Yep. 600 00:44:26,967 --> 00:44:31,067 - Tell me all about it. - Well, we went out on a pony ride, and... 601 00:44:39,867 --> 00:44:42,067 Karin. 602 00:44:48,233 --> 00:44:51,633 Darling, will you please tell me what's bothering you? 603 00:44:51,700 --> 00:44:57,433 I'm tired, Alan. I... I have a headache. 604 00:44:57,500 --> 00:45:00,967 I don't mean now. I mean this afternoon in the playhouse. 605 00:45:01,067 --> 00:45:03,300 You shied away from me as if I had the plague. 606 00:45:03,367 --> 00:45:06,900 If I hadn't grabbed you... 607 00:45:06,967 --> 00:45:09,467 I completely forgot about that wall. 608 00:45:11,467 --> 00:45:14,300 Forgot? I should've had it fixed right after the explosion. 609 00:45:14,367 --> 00:45:16,467 But I didn't realize it was such a hazard. 610 00:45:18,633 --> 00:45:20,700 What's the matter now? 611 00:45:20,767 --> 00:45:25,200 You... You know what happened to Chris in the playhouse? 612 00:45:25,267 --> 00:45:28,200 Well, of course I do. Wasn't I supposed to know? 613 00:45:28,267 --> 00:45:32,667 Well, Margaret told me just the other day that you didn't know... 614 00:45:32,733 --> 00:45:34,800 that she never told you. 615 00:45:34,867 --> 00:45:39,467 Oh. Well, you must have misunderstood. 616 00:45:39,533 --> 00:45:43,333 After four years, I don't suppose Margaret remembers herself how it was. 617 00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:47,367 But it's certainly nothing for you to start worrying about now. 618 00:45:48,967 --> 00:45:51,867 Your hands are like ice. 619 00:45:51,933 --> 00:45:54,367 Is something going on in that funny little head of yours? 620 00:45:54,433 --> 00:45:58,467 Something you're keeping from me? I'm not keeping anything from you, Alan. 621 00:46:00,433 --> 00:46:03,733 You make me feel as though I've failed you somehow... 622 00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,267 as though I haven't been the husband I wanted to be. 623 00:46:06,333 --> 00:46:08,900 No, it isn't you, Alan. 624 00:46:08,967 --> 00:46:13,133 Sometimes, things come back... things I want to forget. 625 00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,267 I can't help it. 626 00:46:16,333 --> 00:46:19,567 You must be patient with me. I'll be all right. 627 00:46:19,633 --> 00:46:21,800 Of course you will, darling. 628 00:46:21,867 --> 00:46:24,233 It takes time. 629 00:46:24,300 --> 00:46:28,833 We'll just have to try harder to... to make you forget. 630 00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:38,200 Chris? You forgot to make up your room again. 631 00:46:38,267 --> 00:46:41,933 I didn't forget. I'm just goin' to market with Mom now. 632 00:46:42,067 --> 00:46:45,467 I'll do it when we get back. Oh, Chris, you promised. 633 00:46:45,533 --> 00:46:48,633 Go right in and do it now. I'll wait for you. 634 00:46:48,700 --> 00:46:51,867 Would you like me to go to the market for you, Mrs. Spender? 635 00:46:51,933 --> 00:46:53,933 Cook said he wanted the chops for lunch. 636 00:46:54,067 --> 00:46:57,900 Ooh, that's right. No, I'll go, Margaret. 637 00:46:57,967 --> 00:47:01,167 I'm sorry, darling. You'll come with me next time, okay? 638 00:47:01,233 --> 00:47:03,267 Okay. 639 00:48:07,333 --> 00:48:09,333 Chris? Chris? 640 00:48:12,967 --> 00:48:14,867 Are you hurt, lady? 641 00:48:15,067 --> 00:48:17,433 What happened? 642 00:48:17,500 --> 00:48:20,667 You better cut the motor off. Somebody, get an ambulance. Yeah, I'll go get one. 643 00:48:20,733 --> 00:48:22,733 I wouldn't move around, lady. What happened? 644 00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:27,067 They're getting an ambulance for you. Did anybody see what happened? 645 00:48:27,133 --> 00:48:29,867 I-I don't want an ambulance. 646 00:48:29,933 --> 00:48:32,067 I'm all right. 647 00:48:36,100 --> 00:48:39,200 You better let me take you home, huh, lady? Where do you live? 648 00:48:39,267 --> 00:48:43,200 Home? No, I... Please, will you take me to a telephone? 649 00:48:43,267 --> 00:48:45,900 Yeah, sure. Sure thing, lady. 650 00:48:51,067 --> 00:48:53,567 Hello. Mr. Marc Bennett, please. 651 00:48:53,633 --> 00:48:56,100 Yes? 652 00:48:56,167 --> 00:48:59,100 Oh? Put her on. 653 00:48:59,167 --> 00:49:01,567 Hello, Karin. How are you? 654 00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:06,900 An accident? Are you all right? 655 00:49:06,967 --> 00:49:10,850 Oh. Yes. Well, let me call Alan... 656 00:49:11,050 --> 00:49:14,933 Oh, no, I don't want Alan to... 657 00:49:15,067 --> 00:49:17,067 Marc, please, don't call Alan. 658 00:49:17,133 --> 00:49:19,233 I want to see you alone, now. 659 00:49:19,300 --> 00:49:22,433 All right. I just thought that... 660 00:49:22,500 --> 00:49:26,900 I'll be right there. What's the address? 661 00:49:26,967 --> 00:49:30,300 So after the man brought me here to the telephone, he sent for a tow car. 662 00:49:30,367 --> 00:49:33,667 And then he kept insisting I have a doctor look at me right away. 663 00:49:33,733 --> 00:49:37,467 He should have. It was a terrible thing to have happen. Oh, Marc, it didn't "happen." 664 00:49:37,533 --> 00:49:40,933 It wasn't an accident. He made the brakes so they wouldn't work. 665 00:49:41,067 --> 00:49:43,167 He's trying to kill me! Hey, hey. 666 00:49:43,233 --> 00:49:45,267 Let's not go off the deep end again. 667 00:49:45,333 --> 00:49:48,833 You've had a bad shock. Now, who's trying to kill you? 668 00:49:48,900 --> 00:49:50,933 Alan. Alan? 669 00:49:51,067 --> 00:49:54,967 Oh, Marc, please believe me. I'm not hysterical now. 670 00:49:55,067 --> 00:50:00,300 He wants to get rid of me. I've felt it for a long time. 671 00:50:00,367 --> 00:50:02,600 Can't you see it, Marc? 672 00:50:02,667 --> 00:50:04,967 Aunt Sophie left everything to Chris. 673 00:50:05,033 --> 00:50:07,933 Alan is his guardian. If something should happen to him, 674 00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,267 Alan would get the estate. 675 00:50:10,333 --> 00:50:14,800 And Chris could have been with me in the car this morning. He wants us out of the way. 676 00:50:14,867 --> 00:50:18,533 It's for the money, Marc. Don't you see? 677 00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,000 You don't, do you? 678 00:50:22,067 --> 00:50:25,000 But why would he marry you? He didn't have to, you know. 679 00:50:25,067 --> 00:50:28,000 He may have been attracted to me. I don't know. 680 00:50:28,067 --> 00:50:30,100 But you don't think he was going to let... 681 00:50:30,167 --> 00:50:32,900 the boy's mother take everything away from him, do you? 682 00:50:32,967 --> 00:50:35,567 There's one way to find out. 683 00:50:35,633 --> 00:50:37,700 Come on. 684 00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:44,500 Your master cylinder's bone-dry. 685 00:50:44,567 --> 00:50:47,300 These are hydraulic brakes. No fluid, they don't work. 686 00:50:47,367 --> 00:50:50,433 How come no fluid? A leak, right here. 687 00:50:50,500 --> 00:50:52,567 A break in the line going to the front wheel. 688 00:50:52,633 --> 00:50:54,767 That's an unusual place to spring a leak, isn't it? 689 00:50:54,833 --> 00:50:58,467 Well, it don't happen every day, but it can happen. 690 00:50:58,533 --> 00:51:01,500 Look, you've been over this thing pretty thoroughly. 691 00:51:01,567 --> 00:51:05,333 Is it possible that somebody might have tampered with that brake line deliberately? 692 00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:10,700 Anything's possible. My guess is you hit a rock or something. 693 00:51:10,767 --> 00:51:13,400 Okay, thanks. Yeah. 694 00:51:14,900 --> 00:51:17,567 I suppose you think I'm crazy. 695 00:51:17,633 --> 00:51:20,133 But I cannot help it. I cannot help what I feel. 696 00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:24,867 Karin, it's no news to you that I'm not very fond of Alan. 697 00:51:24,933 --> 00:51:30,067 I think he'd do almost anything to hold onto the nice, cushy life he's made for himself. 698 00:51:30,100 --> 00:51:34,300 I don't think he'd be crazy enough to try a thing like this. 699 00:51:34,367 --> 00:51:36,400 I don't know. 700 00:51:36,467 --> 00:51:39,700 I don't know what to think anymore. 701 00:51:39,767 --> 00:51:43,567 I'm sorry to have given you so much trouble for nothing. 702 00:51:43,633 --> 00:51:45,733 For nothing? 703 00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:50,067 I told you once, you might need a friend. You came to me as a friend. 704 00:51:50,133 --> 00:51:52,900 I don't consider that nothing. 705 00:51:57,067 --> 00:52:01,067 What you need is somebody to teach you how to relax and enjoy life, 706 00:52:01,133 --> 00:52:03,400 something Alan never learned. 707 00:52:03,467 --> 00:52:07,300 He's been so busy trying to get up to that house on the hill that... 708 00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:11,633 he's been blind to everything else. 709 00:52:15,300 --> 00:52:18,533 I must go home, Marc. 710 00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:23,467 Well, at least you stopped calling me "Major." That's a net gain. 711 00:54:40,133 --> 00:54:43,900 - Where have you been? - I was hungry, and... 712 00:54:43,967 --> 00:54:47,067 I went down to the kitchen for a glass of milk. 713 00:54:48,567 --> 00:54:51,367 You'd better come to bed. It's very late. 714 00:54:52,733 --> 00:54:55,567 Yes, dear. In a minute. 715 00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:19,500 - Yes? - Fowler? Marc Bennett. 716 00:55:19,567 --> 00:55:21,600 Say, my client will be here in a few minutes. 717 00:55:21,667 --> 00:55:24,100 Can you give me any idea what your report will be on those gloves? 718 00:55:24,167 --> 00:55:27,967 I think I can. I wanna run one more test just to double-check, but... 719 00:55:29,533 --> 00:55:32,100 I see. 720 00:55:32,167 --> 00:55:34,900 No, I'll be right here waiting for it, thanks. 721 00:56:19,067 --> 00:56:21,333 Karin! 722 00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:23,667 Alan. What are you doing here? 723 00:56:23,733 --> 00:56:25,900 Me? I just went up to see my insurance man. 724 00:56:25,967 --> 00:56:28,367 Where are you going? 725 00:56:28,433 --> 00:56:31,167 To the dentist. I have an appointment. 726 00:56:31,233 --> 00:56:33,233 Dr. Lipman? Mm-hmm. 727 00:56:33,300 --> 00:56:36,167 Darling, he's in the medical building. 728 00:56:36,233 --> 00:56:38,567 Oh. Oh, you're right. 729 00:56:38,633 --> 00:56:43,500 I... I wonder how the taxi driver could have made such a mistake. 730 00:56:43,567 --> 00:56:47,667 Well, I'm glad he did. It gives me a chance to give a beautiful lady a lift. 731 00:56:47,733 --> 00:56:49,558 As a matter of fact, it's, uh, almost 4:00. 732 00:56:49,758 --> 00:56:51,667 I'll wait for you. We'll drive home together. 733 00:56:51,733 --> 00:56:54,500 4:00? I didn't realize it was so late. 734 00:56:54,567 --> 00:56:58,067 I... I'm afraid I've missed my appointment. 735 00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:01,700 Well, you can see him tomorrow. 736 00:57:01,767 --> 00:57:04,267 I'll tell you what. Let's have an early dinner and take in a movie, huh? 737 00:57:05,433 --> 00:57:07,933 Uh-huh. 738 00:57:20,067 --> 00:57:22,067 Hello, Margaret. Good evening. 739 00:57:22,133 --> 00:57:25,100 Where's Chris? He's in his room listening to the radio. 740 00:57:25,167 --> 00:57:27,200 Any calls? Mr. Marc Bennett. 741 00:57:27,267 --> 00:57:29,400 Did he leave any message? 742 00:57:29,467 --> 00:57:33,967 He just said he'd be in his office until 6:00 if either of you returned by then. 743 00:57:34,067 --> 00:57:36,367 Thank you, Margaret. 744 00:57:49,667 --> 00:57:52,267 Mr. Bennett, please. Mr. Spender calling. 745 00:57:54,133 --> 00:57:58,667 Relax, darling. It can't be anything important. 746 00:58:00,067 --> 00:58:02,933 Hello, Marc? I understand you called. 747 00:58:03,067 --> 00:58:05,933 Oh, fine, thanks. How about yourself? 748 00:58:06,067 --> 00:58:10,467 Tonight? Just a minute. Karin's right here. I'll ask her. 749 00:58:10,533 --> 00:58:13,667 He wants to take us to dinner tonight. What do you say? 750 00:58:13,733 --> 00:58:18,167 Whatever you like, Alan. Well, Karin says she'd love to. 751 00:58:18,233 --> 00:58:22,367 Sure. 8:30's fine. Mm-hmm. I'll see you then. 752 00:58:24,967 --> 00:58:27,800 What's the matter, darling? 753 00:58:27,867 --> 00:58:31,333 I was just thinking, I've spent so little time with Chris today. 754 00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:37,167 Oh, stop worrying about Chris for a change. It'll do you good to get out. 755 00:58:37,233 --> 00:58:40,833 Yes, Alan. 756 00:59:21,367 --> 00:59:26,067 Oh, will you excuse me? I... I promised to call Chris and say good night. 757 00:59:33,733 --> 00:59:37,200 You must have a crystal ball. What do you mean? 758 00:59:37,267 --> 00:59:40,200 Your call this afternoon. May I? Of course. 759 00:59:40,267 --> 00:59:43,967 I was just gonna call you. Really? Anything special? 760 00:59:45,100 --> 00:59:49,400 It's about Karin. Karin? 761 00:59:49,467 --> 00:59:51,145 This afternoon, coming down from Charlie 762 00:59:51,345 --> 00:59:53,233 Decker's office, I ran into her in the lobby. 763 00:59:54,900 --> 00:59:59,200 She almost jumped out of her skin when she saw me. 764 00:59:59,267 --> 01:00:03,400 I could have sworn she was on her way up to see you. Was she, Marc? 765 01:00:05,033 --> 01:00:07,233 Why didn't you ask her? 766 01:00:07,300 --> 01:00:11,033 I did. She told me she was going up to see her dentist. 767 01:00:11,100 --> 01:00:15,267 Well, that seems to settle it, doesn't it? No, not quite. 768 01:00:15,333 --> 01:00:18,033 You see, her dentist happens to be in the medical building. 769 01:00:18,100 --> 01:00:20,667 That's quite a long way from your place. 770 01:00:20,733 --> 01:00:23,567 So she made a mistake. So what? 771 01:00:23,633 --> 01:00:28,033 People don't make mistakes like that, unless it's part of a pattern. 772 01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:34,000 Look, I'm not very good at riddles. What's on your mind? 773 01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:37,600 I'm worried about Karin. 774 01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:42,667 I don't have to tell you what she went through in Europe. 775 01:00:42,733 --> 01:00:46,867 I've tried everything to make her forget. 776 01:00:49,100 --> 01:00:51,500 That accident on the hill didn't help her nerves any. 777 01:00:51,567 --> 01:00:54,167 A thing like that would play hard with anybody's nerves. 778 01:00:57,933 --> 01:01:00,100 I don't know. 779 01:01:00,167 --> 01:01:05,867 Suddenly she's become suspicious of everything and everybody around her. 780 01:01:05,933 --> 01:01:11,067 I talked to Dr. Burkhardt about it. He suggested I take her to a specialist. 781 01:01:16,267 --> 01:01:18,899 I know you've never thought very much of me, Marc... 782 01:01:19,099 --> 01:01:21,267 too pushing and ambitious for your taste. 783 01:01:21,333 --> 01:01:23,433 Well, maybe you're right. 784 01:01:27,067 --> 01:01:30,133 But Karin's made a difference in my life. 785 01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:33,933 My only ambition now is to make her happy. 786 01:01:34,067 --> 01:01:36,100 And I'm helpless. 787 01:01:36,167 --> 01:01:41,133 The harder I try, the more I realize that... I'm losing her. 788 01:01:43,300 --> 01:01:47,067 It's ironic, isn't it? 789 01:01:48,700 --> 01:01:50,867 Yeah, life's full of little ironies. 790 01:01:50,933 --> 01:01:54,933 And I'm afraid it's something you're gonna have to work out between yourselves. 791 01:01:57,133 --> 01:02:00,067 Would you like to dance? 792 01:02:00,100 --> 01:02:02,200 Go ahead, darling. 793 01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:10,867 The report from the chemist, Marc... what does it say? 794 01:02:10,933 --> 01:02:14,333 I'm sorry, Karin. There wasn't a trace of grease or oil on those gloves. 795 01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:16,767 But those spots, Marc, those dark spots. 796 01:02:16,833 --> 01:02:20,567 Ink. Nothing but plain, ordinary blue-black ink. 797 01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:25,833 Karin, I'd like to tell you that Alan is a black-hearted monster... 798 01:02:25,900 --> 01:02:28,167 capable of the worst crimes in the book. 799 01:02:28,233 --> 01:02:33,600 I can't, 'cause I'd be lying, and I... I can't lie to you. 800 01:02:33,667 --> 01:02:37,933 I know you've been through so much... those years at the camp, and... 801 01:02:38,067 --> 01:02:40,333 But you've got to snap out of this mood. 802 01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:44,933 Oh, I'm not hysterical, Marc. Please believe me. 803 01:02:45,067 --> 01:02:48,533 I've realized now, there was something wrong from the beginning: 804 01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:52,333 the way they tried to keep me from coming to America; the cold, heartless cables... 805 01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:55,667 some lawyers send me that Aunt Sophie was dead, and not a word about Chris... 806 01:02:55,733 --> 01:02:59,167 What lawyers? I don't know. I don't remember their names. 807 01:02:59,233 --> 01:03:03,233 Why? Is it important? No, I... I just wondered. 808 01:03:03,300 --> 01:03:05,400 I can show you the cable. 809 01:03:05,467 --> 01:03:08,900 Alan doesn't know, but I still have it. I could bring it to your office. 810 01:03:08,967 --> 01:03:12,833 All right. Why don't you? Like to get a look at it. All right, Marc. Tomorrow. 811 01:03:12,900 --> 01:03:16,667 I'll bring it to your office in the morning, huh? All right. 812 01:03:16,733 --> 01:03:19,167 Oh, no. 813 01:03:19,233 --> 01:03:23,700 After what happened today, I... I shouldn't go there again. 814 01:03:26,100 --> 01:03:29,767 Well, let me see. 815 01:03:31,967 --> 01:03:34,067 The yacht basin at the marina. 816 01:03:36,333 --> 01:03:39,500 Thank you. Wait a minute. 817 01:03:39,567 --> 01:03:41,633 It's my turn now. 818 01:04:03,567 --> 01:04:06,267 My secretary searched all the files and checked with everybody... 819 01:04:06,333 --> 01:04:09,600 and says there's absolutely no record of this having been sent from our office. 820 01:04:09,667 --> 01:04:14,733 But it is signed, "Bennett, Compton and Maxwell." Your firm, Marc. 821 01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:19,567 Then I'm right. Alan sent the cable himself. It's possible. 822 01:04:19,633 --> 01:04:24,633 But see, this is dated May 31, 1945. My father was still alive then. 823 01:04:24,700 --> 01:04:26,163 He handled your aunt's affairs. 824 01:04:26,363 --> 01:04:29,100 Alan could have showed him the cable just as he told you. 825 01:04:29,167 --> 01:04:33,067 And unfortunately, now there's no way of finding out what actually did happen. 826 01:04:36,633 --> 01:04:39,500 Look. First thing Monday morning, I'll call Callahan. 827 01:04:39,567 --> 01:04:41,667 That's the lawyer you met in New York. 828 01:04:41,733 --> 01:04:45,533 He may be able to tell us something. I hope so. 829 01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:48,267 Now, don't be afraid. 830 01:04:51,233 --> 01:04:55,133 I've got to get home now. I promised to take Chris to the ball game. 831 01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:57,500 You are afraid, aren't you? 832 01:04:59,067 --> 01:05:03,367 Sometimes, yes. But not when I am with you. 833 01:05:03,433 --> 01:05:06,567 That's what I want to talk to you about. There's no sense in our going... 834 01:05:06,633 --> 01:05:11,067 Oh, Marc. No, not now. It... It isn't right. 835 01:05:11,100 --> 01:05:15,333 What is right... for you to go on living with Alan, feeling the way you do about him? 836 01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:20,133 For us to exchange polite small talk every time we meet? 837 01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:26,067 Is it wrong for me to say that I'm in love with you? No, Marc. No. 838 01:05:26,267 --> 01:05:29,167 But it is wrong for someone to lie, to cheat, 839 01:05:29,233 --> 01:05:32,067 even if only to find happiness and safety. 840 01:05:32,267 --> 01:05:34,667 Now what are we talking about? 841 01:05:34,733 --> 01:05:39,100 About me. I'm not Chris's mother, Marc. 842 01:05:39,167 --> 01:05:42,667 Karin Dernakova died in Belsen. 843 01:05:42,733 --> 01:05:45,267 I took her papers and stole her name. 844 01:05:47,300 --> 01:05:51,267 Victoria. Yes. Victoria Kowelska. That's my real name. 845 01:05:51,333 --> 01:05:55,633 Victoria Kowelska. But, Marc, you didn't hear what I said. 846 01:05:55,700 --> 01:05:58,100 I'm not Chris's... Sure, sure. You're not Chris's mother. 847 01:05:58,167 --> 01:06:00,467 What do you want me to do... condemn... 848 01:06:00,533 --> 01:06:04,500 a starved, scared, homeless girl who saw a chance for a better life and grabbed it? 849 01:06:04,567 --> 01:06:07,467 I saw Belsen too, Karin. 850 01:06:11,967 --> 01:06:14,967 But I am trapped now by my own lies. 851 01:06:15,067 --> 01:06:18,367 Even if Alan lets me go, he will never let me have Chris. 852 01:06:18,433 --> 01:06:21,567 And I will not leave him behind in that house! Well, that's it. 853 01:06:21,633 --> 01:06:23,677 You've been living with this on your conscience so long, 854 01:06:23,877 --> 01:06:25,067 you've magnified these things. 855 01:06:25,100 --> 01:06:28,100 Oh, no. Please don't think that. Chris is in real danger. 856 01:06:28,167 --> 01:06:29,349 You've said that before. 857 01:06:29,549 --> 01:06:32,700 Nothing is gonna happen to Chris. Something is going to happen. 858 01:06:32,767 --> 01:06:36,267 If I only could make you believe it. 859 01:06:36,333 --> 01:06:40,900 I love him so much, and he needs me. I know he does. 860 01:06:40,967 --> 01:06:43,567 I'm gonna talk to Alan. I think... Oh, no, Marc. 861 01:06:43,633 --> 01:06:46,533 Alan mustn't know I told you anything. 862 01:06:49,967 --> 01:06:54,200 There must be a way to prove all this to you. 863 01:06:54,267 --> 01:06:56,633 Will you stop tearing yourself apart? 864 01:06:56,700 --> 01:07:00,300 Take Chris to the ball game. Have some fun for a while. 865 01:07:00,367 --> 01:07:02,600 Karin. Hmm? 866 01:07:02,667 --> 01:07:06,800 I said, take Chris to the ball game. Get away from the house for the afternoon. 867 01:07:06,867 --> 01:07:09,100 Yeah. Would it help if I call later... 868 01:07:09,300 --> 01:07:11,533 when I find out what Callahan has to say? 869 01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:15,767 Yes, call me. Maybe I... Now, don't do anything silly. 870 01:07:15,833 --> 01:07:17,967 Chris will be all right. 871 01:07:18,067 --> 01:07:22,267 Oh, I... I hope so. 872 01:07:26,067 --> 01:07:28,100 Hello, Margaret. Good afternoon, Mrs. Spender. 873 01:07:28,167 --> 01:07:30,433 Where's Chris? He's having his lunch. 874 01:07:30,500 --> 01:07:33,167 He said you were taking him to the ball game. I'll tell him you're back. 875 01:07:33,233 --> 01:07:35,333 All right. 876 01:07:36,833 --> 01:07:38,833 Margaret, uh... 877 01:07:38,900 --> 01:07:42,067 Would you mind very much taking Chris to the game? 878 01:07:42,100 --> 01:07:45,967 He has been counting on it, and... I have such a bad headache. 879 01:07:46,067 --> 01:07:49,500 Why, I'll be glad to take him, if you like. Thank you. 880 01:07:59,067 --> 01:08:01,167 Good-bye, darling. Have a good time. 881 01:08:01,233 --> 01:08:06,833 And, remember, just one hot dog. Okay, Mom. And I'll keep the scorecard for ya. 882 01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:12,900 Bye, Mom!

She wasn't dead then. 886 01:10:34,233 --> 01:10:37,367 Hello, dear. Oh, Alan. 887 01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:40,767 Well, go ahead. Finish your call. 888 01:10:40,833 --> 01:10:43,433 It's not important. 889 01:10:43,500 --> 01:10:45,939 Well, who were you calling? My watch stopped. 890 01:10:46,139 --> 01:10:48,300 I wanted to find out the correct time. 891 01:10:48,367 --> 01:10:50,400 Oh. 892 01:10:50,467 --> 01:10:53,333 It's about a quarter of two. Um, 14 of. 893 01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:56,900 All right. Margaret called and said you weren't feeling well. 894 01:10:56,967 --> 01:11:00,400 I thought I'd come home and keep you company. Thank you, dear. 895 01:11:00,467 --> 01:11:04,233 It was just a headache. It's gone now. 896 01:11:04,300 --> 01:11:06,395 But, darling, if you have work to do, please, 897 01:11:06,595 --> 01:11:08,833 don't let me hold you back. I'm all right now. 898 01:11:08,900 --> 01:11:13,533 Well, of course, I can always find something to do. Um... 899 01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:17,067 Okay. Put on your coat and come along. The drive will do you good. 900 01:11:17,267 --> 01:11:20,700 Oh, I don't think so, Alan. 901 01:11:20,767 --> 01:11:23,567 I'd rather stay home. Why don't you go? 902 01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:29,800 No. The work will keep until tomorrow. 903 01:11:54,267 --> 01:11:58,067 Why, you haven't eaten a thing, Karin. Why don't you try the souffl�? It's excellent. 904 01:11:58,267 --> 01:12:00,433 Yeah, Mom. It's swell. 905 01:12:00,500 --> 01:12:05,433 I'm not hungry, darling. Would you like to have mine too? Yeah, sure! 906 01:12:13,667 --> 01:12:18,067 If you don't mind, I'll go to the library and read while you're having your coffee. 907 01:12:18,133 --> 01:12:20,800 Well, go ahead, dear.

I was her only living relative. 963 01:21:50,367 --> 01:21:55,967 And what did it get me? A job as a clerk in the shipping office for $40 a week. 964 01:22:00,533 --> 01:22:06,067 But it's all over.

Just like powdering your nose. 971 01:22:34,400 --> 01:22:37,300 You think it's easy to kill somebody? 972 01:22:37,367 --> 01:22:43,567 It takes time and patience and courage... and a strong stomach. 973 01:22:43,633 --> 01:22:48,233 Oh, stop it. Stop it. I don't want to hear anymore. You're mad! 974 01:22:48,300 --> 01:22:51,067 Mad? 975 01:22:51,100 --> 01:22:55,233 If it's madness not to let someone take from you what's rightfully yours, maybe I'm mad. 976 01:22:55,300 --> 01:22:58,133 But everything I've done, I've planned with a perfectly sane mind. 977 01:22:58,200 --> 01:23:01,800 I've never wavered for an instant, and I'm not wavering now. This house is mine. 978 01:23:01,867 --> 01:23:04,500 The money's mine. It's gonna stay mine. 979 01:23:09,333 --> 01:23:12,367 You don't know what I went through with that old woman, 980 01:23:12,433 --> 01:23:14,700 your Chris. 981 01:23:14,767 --> 01:23:15,860 Had to turn myself inside out, 982 01:23:16,060 --> 01:23:18,100 dance attendance on the kid like a monkey on a stick... 983 01:23:18,167 --> 01:23:21,367 just so she'd write me in as guardian for the boy. 984 01:23:21,433 --> 01:23:23,700 You think I was gonna give all that up... 985 01:23:23,767 --> 01:23:27,100 just because you decided to come back from the grave, walk in and take over? 986 01:23:29,267 --> 01:23:32,267 Alan, I don't care what happens to me anymore, but... 987 01:23:32,333 --> 01:23:35,433 please, in heaven's name, leave Chris out of it. 988 01:23:35,500 --> 01:23:38,600 He's only a child. He can do nothing to you... nothing. 989 01:23:38,667 --> 01:23:44,633 Nothing... except take everything from me and kick me out of the house... 990 01:23:44,700 --> 01:23:47,700 if he ever comes of age. Alan! 991 01:23:47,767 --> 01:23:50,633 Don't worry. Chris is safe. 992 01:23:50,700 --> 01:23:55,700 I'd have trouble with Margaret if anything happened to him. 993 01:23:55,767 --> 01:23:59,400 And you were the one that wanted to get rid of her. 994 01:24:01,233 --> 01:24:07,067 However, Chris is not of age yet. 995 01:24:08,200 --> 01:24:10,267 That's a long way off. 996 01:24:14,267 --> 01:24:18,233 And what are you going to do now, kill me? 997 01:24:21,267 --> 01:24:24,300 I understand that Dr. Burkhardt has been giving you... 998 01:24:24,367 --> 01:24:27,867 prescriptions for your insomnia. 999 01:24:27,933 --> 01:24:33,267 He seemed quite upset when I told him I was the one that had the insomnia, 1000 01:24:33,333 --> 01:24:36,400 worrying about your strange behavior. 1001 01:24:37,733 --> 01:24:40,933 He'll be grieved, the little doctor, 1002 01:24:41,067 --> 01:24:45,200 when he hears that you've been hoarding your sedatives to... 1003 01:24:45,267 --> 01:24:47,967 take them all at once... 1004 01:24:48,067 --> 01:24:50,067 in a glass of orange juice. 1005 01:24:50,100 --> 01:24:54,433 Oh, A-Alan, you must call the doctor right away! 1006 01:24:54,500 --> 01:24:56,700 - Not quite yet, my dear. - No, listen to me.

The operator said the phone was off the hook, 1073 01:29:58,067 --> 01:30:01,533 so I drove right over and called the station. 1074 01:30:03,067 --> 01:30:05,933 By the time your men got here, Alan was dead. 1075 01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:10,100 Well, I'm going to have to take that governess downtown for questioning. 1076 01:30:10,167 --> 01:30:13,367 Why?
