1
00:00:24,610 --> 00:00:25,770
Good evening.

2
00:00:26,250 --> 00:00:30,110
I've been talked into making a high dive
for publicity.

3
00:00:30,810 --> 00:00:34,070
I was told it would be excellent for the
show.

4
00:00:35,150 --> 00:00:37,730
I'm not certain what it will do for me.

5
00:00:42,570 --> 00:00:48,650
I was promised that there will be
someone to demonstrate how easy the dive

6
00:00:50,490 --> 00:00:53,030
Actually, it's not the dive I'm worried
about.

7
00:00:53,390 --> 00:00:54,610
It's the landing.

8
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:21,459
Jumping from the high diving board into
a small tub of water is exactly like

9
00:01:21,460 --> 00:01:23,120
presenting a play on television.

10
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,640
You may have a big hit, then again you
may miss.

11
00:01:26,860 --> 00:01:30,240
But in either event, you make a big
splash.

12
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:38,040
While we're waiting for our friend to
land, let's put the time to good use.

13
00:01:54,981 --> 00:01:59,909
Coroner's Board of Kale County is now in
session.

14
00:01:59,910 --> 00:02:02,200
The clerk will please enter the opening
data.

15
00:02:04,290 --> 00:02:09,049
Convening board is now in session to
determine death causes and circumstances

16
00:02:09,050 --> 00:02:10,100
the deceased.

17
00:02:10,101 --> 00:02:13,489
If only suddenly I could feel the
wonderful relief of knowing that this

18
00:02:13,490 --> 00:02:16,200
courtroom and everything that's happened
is a dream.

19
00:02:16,210 --> 00:02:17,350
A hideous nightmare.

20
00:02:18,390 --> 00:02:20,010
But it's not a dream. I am here.

21
00:02:20,670 --> 00:02:21,810
I am a murderer.

22
00:02:22,830 --> 00:02:25,660
Even if I don't know how it happened or
where it all began.

23
00:02:26,940 --> 00:02:31,260
Unless it was that day, the first time
I'd gone away without her.

24
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,880
Is this supposed to be packed?

25
00:02:35,300 --> 00:02:39,659
Oh, darling, you really are hopeless.
It's my artistic temperament. Remember

26
00:02:39,660 --> 00:02:41,520
mad that expression used to make Dad?

27
00:02:41,521 --> 00:02:45,839
Humor was never one of your father's
strong points. And I'm very much afraid

28
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,520
your sister Alice takes after him.

29
00:02:47,521 --> 00:02:50,559
You're not much looking forward to going
to Alice's, are you?

30
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,110
Well, let's say I was looking forward to
going to Vermont with you, but...

31
00:02:54,410 --> 00:02:58,150
Being a dutiful grandmama, I go instead
to nurse my ailing grandchildren.

32
00:02:58,870 --> 00:03:02,949
Perhaps I should say to amuse the ones
who aren't ill. You and Dietrich are the

33
00:03:02,950 --> 00:03:06,109
only two women in the world who have
managed to turn being a grandmother into

34
00:03:06,110 --> 00:03:09,409
asset. It's an asset I could cheerfully
do without. Come on, you love it. You

35
00:03:09,410 --> 00:03:13,009
know you do. Oh, I love everyone's
reaction to it, that's true. But, of

36
00:03:13,010 --> 00:03:16,429
you understand the first time anyone
accepts it without surprise will be the

37
00:03:16,430 --> 00:03:19,589
last time I announce it. Of course. Have
we time for a farewell drink before you

38
00:03:19,590 --> 00:03:23,380
go? Always time for a drink, Mother. I
even have some ice left from last night.

39
00:03:24,380 --> 00:03:28,299
You know, it was really a very good idea
of mine to turn this part of the house

40
00:03:28,300 --> 00:03:30,770
into a private apartment for you. One of
your best.

41
00:03:30,771 --> 00:03:34,439
Now I have all the privileges of living
alone with none of the drawbacks, like

42
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,060
having to pay rent and eating out.

43
00:03:36,061 --> 00:03:40,499
If the truth were known, I think that's
the real reason you keep on living here.

44
00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:43,520
Because Jane is such a good cook. Not at
all. I'm a dutiful son.

45
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,990
I don't want to leave you alone in your
old age. Oh, please.

46
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,320
You make me feel like Whistler's mother.

47
00:03:49,321 --> 00:03:51,939
Except you'll be alone a quick five
minutes and you'll know it.

48
00:03:51,940 --> 00:03:53,500
Flattery will get you anything.

49
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:54,730
Cheers, darling.

50
00:03:54,820 --> 00:03:57,650
Have a lovely time and I'll get there
just as soon as I can.

51
00:03:57,651 --> 00:04:03,839
I think it was the second day I met
Lottie. Or the third, it doesn't matter.

52
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,520
What matters is that I did meet her.

53
00:04:06,340 --> 00:04:09,410
And in a way, I guess that's the answer
as far as where it began.

54
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:10,690
It was right there.

55
00:04:11,580 --> 00:04:12,630
That minute.

56
00:04:13,300 --> 00:04:14,350
Good morning.

57
00:04:14,380 --> 00:04:15,430
May I help you?

58
00:04:16,470 --> 00:04:18,769
Yes, I'd like some color film, if you
have it.

59
00:04:19,130 --> 00:04:20,180
Right over here.

60
00:04:23,450 --> 00:04:24,650
How many would you like?

61
00:04:25,370 --> 00:04:26,430
Oh, three or four.

62
00:04:29,230 --> 00:04:30,280
Here you are.

63
00:04:31,050 --> 00:04:32,100
Thank you.

64
00:04:33,910 --> 00:04:35,110
What a beautiful camera.

65
00:04:35,390 --> 00:04:36,440
Yes, it is, isn't it?

66
00:04:36,441 --> 00:04:37,669
Are you a photographer?

67
00:04:37,670 --> 00:04:39,230
Oh, no, no, no. I just fool around.

68
00:04:39,231 --> 00:04:43,069
People that just fool around don't have
cameras like this. It's a present from

69
00:04:43,070 --> 00:04:44,120
my mother. Oh.

70
00:04:44,300 --> 00:04:47,190
Well, there are lovely places around
here to photograph.

71
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,260
We have some slides, too.

72
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,280
Oh, but you'd probably rather take your
own pictures.

73
00:04:53,281 --> 00:04:55,339
Oh, no, no. May I see some of your
slides?

74
00:04:55,340 --> 00:04:56,390
Of course.

75
00:05:04,180 --> 00:05:06,700
Oh, here. This is my favorite place.

76
00:05:08,660 --> 00:05:09,710
Isn't it beautiful?

77
00:05:10,380 --> 00:05:11,500
It certainly is.

78
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,720
Is it far from here? No, it's quite
near.

79
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,720
I'd be glad to show it to you sometime.

80
00:05:18,860 --> 00:05:19,910
I go there often.

81
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,260
Well, that would be very nice of you.

82
00:05:23,261 --> 00:05:27,719
If I had known that first night we went
to the waterfall was eventually going to

83
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,860
happen, but how could I?

84
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,739
How could any average, normal person
think of murder in connection with

85
00:05:34,740 --> 00:05:35,790
themselves?

86
00:05:42,350 --> 00:05:44,520
It's not exactly what I'd call a short
walk.

87
00:05:44,550 --> 00:05:46,950
I knew you could do it. And you see, I
was right.

88
00:05:47,330 --> 00:05:50,210
Yes, I do pamper this leg of mine a
little too much.

89
00:05:50,211 --> 00:05:53,809
What happened? Does it bother you to
talk about it? Oh, no. No, no. Not

90
00:05:53,810 --> 00:05:56,390
particularly. I had polio when I was 18.

91
00:05:57,030 --> 00:05:58,530
It's been like this ever since.

92
00:05:58,630 --> 00:06:00,800
My mother said I was lucky I got off
lightly.

93
00:06:02,410 --> 00:06:04,940
You certainly were right. This is a
beautiful spot.

94
00:06:05,110 --> 00:06:06,410
I'm glad you like it.

95
00:06:06,790 --> 00:06:11,119
I sometimes wonder why I love it so
much. I suppose it's... Because it's

96
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,590
contrast to so many things I've known
for so long.

97
00:06:14,300 --> 00:06:16,220
I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

98
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,640
Well, here it's so beautiful.

99
00:06:19,020 --> 00:06:23,000
And there was very little beauty in
Germany during the war, or even after.

100
00:06:23,001 --> 00:06:24,539
You were there during the war?

101
00:06:24,540 --> 00:06:26,300
Yes, and for a long time after.

102
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,920
Trying to save up enough money to get
here.

103
00:06:28,921 --> 00:06:31,699
Well, what about your family? Couldn't
they help?

104
00:06:31,700 --> 00:06:34,120
My mother died when I was very young.

105
00:06:34,420 --> 00:06:36,560
And my father was killed during a
bombing.

106
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:38,610
Oh.

107
00:06:38,700 --> 00:06:39,750
I'm sorry.

108
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,200
He was glad to die.

109
00:06:41,940 --> 00:06:44,720
When the war started, we lost
everything.

110
00:06:46,100 --> 00:06:48,100
My father always had money and position.

111
00:06:48,460 --> 00:06:50,280
He just couldn't cope without them.

112
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,680
Yes, I can imagine it's pretty hard to
accept.

113
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:55,800
I don't know. I suppose it is.

114
00:06:56,300 --> 00:06:58,300
But it can be rewarding, too.

115
00:06:58,660 --> 00:07:03,559
Every time you pull yourself up a step,
you can say, I did this by myself, with

116
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:04,610
no help from anyone.

117
00:07:04,780 --> 00:07:05,830
It's satisfying.

118
00:07:07,651 --> 00:07:12,619
You must have been quite young when all
this happened.

119
00:07:12,620 --> 00:07:15,920
I was 15 and very childish in spite of
everything.

120
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,710
I thought it was going to be better
afterwards.

121
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:21,240
Instead, it was worse.

122
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:22,450
Much worse.

123
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,720
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to talk so much
about myself.

124
00:07:29,420 --> 00:07:30,920
I think it must be this place.

125
00:07:30,921 --> 00:07:33,799
It does have a kind of enchantment,
doesn't it?

126
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,679
Even for you, I would have thought
beautiful places were not unusual in

127
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:39,730
life.

128
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,600
Well, I've been pretty lucky.

129
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,120
When my father died, he left us fairly
well off.

130
00:07:46,340 --> 00:07:48,380
That must be a very comforting feeling.

131
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:50,850
Yes, it is.

132
00:07:50,851 --> 00:07:54,599
Speaking of family, my mother's coming
down here to join me soon. I want you to

133
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:55,459
meet her. You'll like her.

134
00:07:55,460 --> 00:07:58,710
I'm sure I will. Everyone does. She's
very young and gay and pretty.

135
00:08:01,801 --> 00:08:04,159
Say, I've got to be going.

136
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:04,879
But why?

137
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:05,719
It's still early.

138
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,890
I know, but I'm expecting a call about
nine.

139
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,160
A long -distance call? Yes, my mother.

140
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:11,600
She always calls at nine.

141
00:08:15,031 --> 00:08:22,359
Maybe it was because we saw so much of
each other that it happened so quickly.

142
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,980
Or maybe it was something in Lottie. She
was so sure.

143
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:26,940
Sure enough for both of us.

144
00:08:28,220 --> 00:08:30,540
I just don't dance, Lottie. But you can
try.

145
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:32,740
I haven't danced since I was 17.

146
00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:34,179
It makes no difference.

147
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,280
Dancing is something you don't forget.

148
00:08:36,281 --> 00:08:38,519
No matter how long it is. Well, I've
forgotten.

149
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,340
Then I'll show you. It's very easy.

150
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,040
Not for me. Not with this leg.

151
00:08:42,340 --> 00:08:46,199
Oh, forget your leg. You think too much
about it. Lottie, the dining room's

152
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,879
closed. They're not going to like our
being in here.

153
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,780
But we're doing no harm. Come on.

154
00:08:50,220 --> 00:08:51,270
Please.

155
00:08:52,340 --> 00:08:53,960
Well, don't say I didn't warn you.

156
00:09:10,540 --> 00:09:12,240
See, I knew you could do it.

157
00:09:41,700 --> 00:09:44,660
John, what were you trying to say to me
a few minutes ago?

158
00:09:46,980 --> 00:09:51,260
Well... Were you trying to ask me to
marry you?

159
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:54,530
Yes, I guess I was.

160
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:55,890
You guess?

161
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:56,970
I mean, I was.

162
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,910
It's just that I didn't do it very well.
I haven't had much practice.

163
00:10:01,911 --> 00:10:03,759
It's the first time I ever proposed to
anyone.

164
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:04,810
Is it?

165
00:10:05,100 --> 00:10:07,340
But surely you must have been in love
before.

166
00:10:09,260 --> 00:10:10,310
No.

167
00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:13,500
I don't think I ever was. Not like this.

168
00:10:14,940 --> 00:10:20,220
I guess I was too satisfied and
comfortable with my life to have a

169
00:10:21,300 --> 00:10:23,380
Johnny, will your mother be pleased?

170
00:10:24,500 --> 00:10:25,550
Of course.

171
00:10:26,220 --> 00:10:28,690
Why, of course? You know, many mothers
wouldn't.

172
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,580
Claire's different. I told her about...
Good heavens.

173
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:35,290
We've got to get back.

174
00:10:35,291 --> 00:10:36,339
But why?

175
00:10:36,340 --> 00:10:37,390
It's past eleven.

176
00:10:37,700 --> 00:10:40,280
I've missed Claire's call again. Oh, but
Johnny.

177
00:10:40,940 --> 00:10:41,990
I mean, she'll worry.

178
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:43,490
You know.

179
00:11:01,740 --> 00:11:02,790
Hello, darling.

180
00:11:03,740 --> 00:11:04,790
Claire.

181
00:11:05,540 --> 00:11:07,320
Claire, darling.

182
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,240
Oh, the children were so much better.

183
00:11:10,241 --> 00:11:13,279
I thought I'd surprise you. As you have,
and what a wonderful surprise.

184
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,820
Oh, my dear, it's so good to see you.

185
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,520
I want to hear about everything you've
been doing. Oh, darling.

186
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,580
And I... I'm so looking forward to
meeting your friend Lottie.

187
00:11:31,180 --> 00:11:32,230
Oh, darling.

188
00:11:32,231 --> 00:11:35,819
I can't tell you how wonderful it is to
be here with you at last. Wonderful to

189
00:11:35,820 --> 00:11:36,719
have you, Mother.

190
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,950
The only thing is you're looking a bit
tired.

191
00:11:38,951 --> 00:11:41,939
I hope you've been getting some rest.
Well, I don't know how I look, but I

192
00:11:41,940 --> 00:11:43,990
great. I've been having a wonderful
time.

193
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,170
I'm so glad.

194
00:11:45,171 --> 00:11:48,899
I'll have to thank Miss Rank personally
for keeping you amused until I got here.

195
00:11:48,900 --> 00:11:52,330
She's done much more than that, Mother.
She's an extraordinary girl.

196
00:11:52,560 --> 00:11:53,610
I'm sure she is.

197
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,550
She even got me over that phobia I had
about dancing.

198
00:11:56,680 --> 00:11:58,060
Darling, that's wonderful.

199
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,100
It's years since I danced myself.

200
00:12:01,101 --> 00:12:05,739
I was always afraid if I did, it would
remind you that you couldn't. That's so

201
00:12:05,740 --> 00:12:08,579
typical of you. Have you ever put
yourself first in your whole life? Oh,

202
00:12:08,580 --> 00:12:12,319
be silly, dear. I always do. I'm a
selfish old woman and you know it. Of

203
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:13,370
I do.

204
00:12:13,740 --> 00:12:15,910
Still, I'm very anxious for you to meet
her.

205
00:12:16,340 --> 00:12:17,440
Well, no more than I.

206
00:12:18,300 --> 00:12:21,370
You understood why I didn't want to last
night after the trip.

207
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,240
I was so exhausted and I looked so
ghastly. Of course I did.

208
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,850
I thought we might have tea together
this afternoon.

209
00:12:28,540 --> 00:12:32,620
Oh, tea's a lovely idea, but... You
know, I...

210
00:12:32,621 --> 00:12:35,609
I really would like to know a little
more about her.

211
00:12:35,610 --> 00:12:39,850
You've hardly told me anything other
than that she's wonderful,

212
00:12:40,890 --> 00:12:41,940
I'd rather not.

213
00:12:41,941 --> 00:12:44,989
I'd rather you met her and got to know
her without being influenced by my

214
00:12:44,990 --> 00:12:47,689
opinion. Good heavens, don't tell me she
has a lurid past.

215
00:12:47,690 --> 00:12:48,729
Oh, no, no.

216
00:12:48,730 --> 00:12:49,780
Just a sad one.

217
00:12:50,050 --> 00:12:51,100
Oh, dear, what a pity.

218
00:12:51,690 --> 00:12:54,820
It's always been my ambition to meet
someone with a lurid past.

219
00:12:54,821 --> 00:12:58,229
More coffee, dear? No, thank you. I'll
go down to the station and pick up the

220
00:12:58,230 --> 00:12:59,280
rest of your luggage.

221
00:12:59,281 --> 00:13:02,219
You sure you don't mind? They said
they'd send someone for it this

222
00:13:02,220 --> 00:13:04,870
Don't be silly. I know how much you want
to get settled.

223
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,340
I'll be back in about an hour.

224
00:13:06,341 --> 00:13:09,539
Darling, get someone at the station to
help you with that large one, will you?

225
00:13:09,540 --> 00:13:10,539
It's quite heavy.

226
00:13:10,540 --> 00:13:11,590
I'll manage.

227
00:13:12,020 --> 00:13:13,460
Don't worry about it, mother.

228
00:13:20,660 --> 00:13:24,779
I never did find out how Claire
discovered Lottie worked in the gift

229
00:13:24,780 --> 00:13:25,529
she did.

230
00:13:25,530 --> 00:13:28,689
And later, much later, Lottie told me
what happened when she came into the

231
00:13:28,690 --> 00:13:29,740
that morning.

232
00:13:31,281 --> 00:13:33,309
Good morning.

233
00:13:33,310 --> 00:13:34,360
May I help you?

234
00:13:35,190 --> 00:13:40,569
Well, I'm not quite sure. I'm... I'm
looking for a rather special gift for

235
00:13:40,570 --> 00:13:42,290
someone. A man or a woman? A man.

236
00:13:44,470 --> 00:13:46,670
Well, we have some very lovely things
here.

237
00:13:47,590 --> 00:13:48,730
Maybe some cufflinks.

238
00:13:54,530 --> 00:13:56,430
Just a bit gaudy, don't you think?

239
00:13:58,010 --> 00:14:02,530
Possibly, but I... Well, perhaps I'm too
conservative, but they are for me.

240
00:14:03,810 --> 00:14:05,190
Maybe something else, then.

241
00:14:09,450 --> 00:14:13,509
You have an interesting accent. Have you
been here long? In this country, I

242
00:14:13,510 --> 00:14:14,670
mean. No, not very.

243
00:14:15,930 --> 00:14:18,350
Oh, so you're not a citizen.

244
00:14:19,010 --> 00:14:20,770
Well, it takes a long time.

245
00:14:21,450 --> 00:14:22,770
Well, what does it matter?

246
00:14:23,420 --> 00:14:27,540
A pretty girl like you will get married
and that will take care of everything,

247
00:14:27,541 --> 00:14:28,079
won't it?

248
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:29,440
I believe that's the law.

249
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,760
My dear, I'm sure you know it is.

250
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,900
That's the way most European girls
manage it, don't they?

251
00:14:37,180 --> 00:14:40,500
Possibly. But then, I'm not most
European girls.

252
00:14:42,100 --> 00:14:45,580
If you see anything you like, I'd be
very happy to show it to you.

253
00:14:47,620 --> 00:14:48,900
No, I don't think so.

254
00:14:49,900 --> 00:14:52,550
I can't imagine who does the buying for
these places.

255
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,380
They must have no taste whatsoever.

256
00:14:57,620 --> 00:14:59,540
Forgive me for taking up your time.

257
00:15:00,291 --> 00:15:02,379
Good morning.

258
00:15:02,380 --> 00:15:03,430
Good morning.

259
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:10,740
There's no need to be nervous.

260
00:15:11,140 --> 00:15:12,760
I know it's silly of me, isn't it?

261
00:15:12,761 --> 00:15:14,919
I'm just anxious for you to like each
other.

262
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,419
Well, I can't speak for Miss Rank, but
as far as I'm concerned, I'd like anyone

263
00:15:18,420 --> 00:15:20,590
who was kind to you. I know you would,
Mother.

264
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,120
Well, here she comes now.

265
00:15:22,121 --> 00:15:26,309
Good heavens, why didn't you tell me?
Tell you what?

266
00:15:26,310 --> 00:15:30,050
Well, she's the girl from the gift shop.
Hello, Johnny. Hi, Lottie.

267
00:15:30,750 --> 00:15:32,990
Lottie, this is my mother.

268
00:15:33,490 --> 00:15:34,540
How do you do?

269
00:15:36,870 --> 00:15:37,920
How do you do?

270
00:15:39,550 --> 00:15:40,850
Do sit down, my dear.

271
00:15:45,350 --> 00:15:47,790
Whatever must you think of me?

272
00:15:48,830 --> 00:15:51,490
Why, I had no idea this morning.

273
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,890
That you were the young lady that I've
heard so much about.

274
00:15:54,900 --> 00:15:55,960
Oh, that's all right.

275
00:15:55,961 --> 00:15:59,659
I don't know what either of you is
talking about. I went into the gift shop

276
00:15:59,660 --> 00:16:00,710
morning.

277
00:16:01,100 --> 00:16:02,150
Oh, just think.

278
00:16:02,780 --> 00:16:06,690
If we'd only known, we could have had a
lovely chat without John interrupting.

279
00:16:06,691 --> 00:16:10,159
Go ahead and chat. I promise not to say
a word. Oh, darling, I'm only teasing.

280
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,630
Tea, Miss Rank? Or perhaps you'd prefer
a drink?

281
00:16:12,740 --> 00:16:15,140
You would be fine, thank you. Uh, plain.

282
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:16,610
There you are.

283
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,280
I can't tell you, my dear, how...

284
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:26,419
Grateful I am for all your kindness to
John. On the contrary, it was he who was

285
00:16:26,420 --> 00:16:28,040
kind to me. Well, whatever.

286
00:16:28,980 --> 00:16:33,899
I know you've been having a wonderful
time, and I don't want either of you to

287
00:16:33,900 --> 00:16:37,270
think for one moment that my being here
is going to change anything.

288
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:42,479
I want you both just to pretend that I'm
not here. Mother, what kind of nonsense

289
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:43,219
is that?

290
00:16:43,220 --> 00:16:44,270
I mean it, dear.

291
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,320
Well, I'm perfectly capable of amusing
myself.

292
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:48,880
But that's not the point.

293
00:16:49,220 --> 00:16:50,270
Well, of course it is.

294
00:16:50,930 --> 00:16:53,820
Why should you drag me around with you
everywhere you go?

295
00:16:55,870 --> 00:16:57,930
Don't you agree, Miss Frank?

296
00:17:00,890 --> 00:17:02,150
Will you excuse me?

297
00:17:02,450 --> 00:17:05,849
But you go so soon. Yes, it was nice
meeting you.

298
00:17:06,310 --> 00:17:09,430
Thank you for the tea. But, Lottie... I
really must go.

299
00:17:13,010 --> 00:17:14,790
Did I say something to offend her?

300
00:17:16,210 --> 00:17:17,260
No, no.

301
00:17:19,310 --> 00:17:21,259
don't understand.

302
00:17:21,260 --> 00:17:24,319
I expect it's only natural for her to
resent me.

303
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,420
But why on earth should she?

304
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,140
Women sometimes do resent mothers of
eligible young men.

305
00:17:31,380 --> 00:17:32,430
But that's nonsense.

306
00:17:33,660 --> 00:17:34,710
Is it?

307
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,700
Oh, well, don't worry, darling.

308
00:17:38,701 --> 00:17:43,259
I'm sure when she realizes that I don't
intend to make a nuisance of myself,

309
00:17:43,260 --> 00:17:44,479
she'll feel differently.

310
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,780
Now, you take her to some lovely place
for dinner tonight.

311
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,610
But I wanted the three of us to have
dinner tonight.

312
00:17:52,100 --> 00:17:53,150
No.

313
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,740
No, I'll have dinner here by myself.

314
00:17:55,741 --> 00:17:59,439
But I don't want you eating by yourself,
especially not your first night here.

315
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,760
Darling, I've been alone before and I
shall be again.

316
00:18:03,940 --> 00:18:06,520
I'm quite capable of coping with the
problem.

317
00:18:08,360 --> 00:18:11,900
We can't avoid the subject all evening,
Lottie. I don't suppose we can.

318
00:18:12,180 --> 00:18:13,920
You don't like my mother, do you? No.

319
00:18:14,100 --> 00:18:16,990
But why not? What did she do? She was
trying to be friendly.

320
00:18:16,991 --> 00:18:20,699
Is that what you think she was trying to
be? How little you know about women,

321
00:18:20,700 --> 00:18:22,399
Johnny. Now, what's that supposed to
mean?

322
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,690
It means that now I understand the
situation.

323
00:18:24,780 --> 00:18:27,130
Oh, I've wondered about it from the
beginning.

324
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:28,820
The telephone calls every night.

325
00:18:28,821 --> 00:18:31,939
The number of times her name comes into
your conversation.

326
00:18:31,940 --> 00:18:35,010
The fact that she joined you here. That
you still live with her.

327
00:18:35,380 --> 00:18:37,060
I wondered about all these things.

328
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:42,499
But it wasn't until I met her and saw
you both together that I knew there was

329
00:18:42,500 --> 00:18:45,390
chance for me. But you're wrong. You
just don't understand.

330
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:46,650
Don't I? No.

331
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,780
Then let me ask you something, Johnny.

332
00:18:48,820 --> 00:18:50,460
You spoke about family money.

333
00:18:50,980 --> 00:18:54,530
Isn't it true that it's your mother's
money which she shares with you?

334
00:18:54,531 --> 00:18:57,879
My father left it to both of us, so it's
in her name, but when she dies, it'll

335
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:58,879
all come to me.

336
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:03,120
When she dies, my dear, is when you'll
be free of her, and not before.

337
00:19:03,121 --> 00:19:05,139
What kind of a thing is that to say?

338
00:19:05,140 --> 00:19:06,190
It's the truth.

339
00:19:06,340 --> 00:19:07,900
I've seen women like her before.

340
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:09,340
She'll never let you go.

341
00:19:11,651 --> 00:19:13,579
Claire's different.

342
00:19:13,580 --> 00:19:14,539
Is she?

343
00:19:14,540 --> 00:19:17,850
Then what did she say when you told her
we were going to be married?

344
00:19:17,851 --> 00:19:21,819
Well... You didn't tell her, did you?
No, I thought you could get to know and

345
00:19:21,820 --> 00:19:22,900
like each other first.

346
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,010
That's not possible.

347
00:19:24,220 --> 00:19:26,450
You may as well tell her right away,
tonight.

348
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:29,760
Are you able to do that, Johnny?

349
00:19:30,820 --> 00:19:31,870
Of course I am.

350
00:19:32,740 --> 00:19:33,980
Then there's no problem.

351
00:19:34,820 --> 00:19:35,870
Tell her.

352
00:19:42,890 --> 00:19:45,030
Such a lovely, quiet evening.

353
00:19:46,190 --> 00:19:50,370
After three children being alone headed
compensations. I'm sorry about that,

354
00:19:50,470 --> 00:19:53,490
Claire. Oh, darling, don't be silly.
It's the way I wanted it.

355
00:19:54,750 --> 00:19:56,050
Don't look so serious.

356
00:19:56,430 --> 00:19:57,630
Especially not tonight.

357
00:19:57,910 --> 00:20:01,310
I need a little gaiety after the past
two weeks. I'll bet you do. Was it

358
00:20:01,490 --> 00:20:02,540
Oh, no, not really.

359
00:20:04,250 --> 00:20:08,850
But I imagine your dear brother -in -law
was very happy to see the last of me.

360
00:20:08,851 --> 00:20:09,929
What do you mean?

361
00:20:09,930 --> 00:20:10,980
Scandal, my dear.

362
00:20:11,660 --> 00:20:13,180
I had a gentleman caller.

363
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,620
As a matter of fact, he practically
moved in.

364
00:20:16,621 --> 00:20:20,499
You don't mean that character who lives
next door to them?

365
00:20:20,500 --> 00:20:21,550
I do indeed.

366
00:20:22,180 --> 00:20:24,800
Oh, that's pretty funny.

367
00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:27,610
Well, I don't see what's so funny about
it.

368
00:20:27,940 --> 00:20:32,799
He's not unattractive, and he's
certainly dependable. And dull. He'd

369
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:33,850
death in ten minutes.

370
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:34,970
Five.

371
00:20:37,770 --> 00:20:42,170
it's all very well to laugh, but I do
have my old age to think about.

372
00:20:42,950 --> 00:20:46,500
You'll be getting married one of these
days and no one likes to be alone.

373
00:20:46,501 --> 00:20:50,929
My getting married doesn't mean you'll
be left alone.

374
00:20:50,930 --> 00:20:51,980
Oh, darling.

375
00:20:52,910 --> 00:20:54,910
How little you know of women.

376
00:20:55,970 --> 00:20:57,770
Wives don't share their husbands.

377
00:20:58,050 --> 00:21:02,229
Oh, they don't say anything about it as
a rule, but gradually they manage to see

378
00:21:02,230 --> 00:21:04,090
less and less of their mother -in -law.

379
00:21:05,130 --> 00:21:07,050
You can't blame them. It's only natural.

380
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,050
Is it?

381
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:11,880
Well, of course it is.

382
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,000
Oh, but we don't have to worry about
that yet.

383
00:21:15,860 --> 00:21:17,860
You're a long way from getting married.

384
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,430
But, Lottie, I don't know what to do. I
just don't. Tell her.

385
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:25,610
I can't.

386
00:21:27,020 --> 00:21:28,880
Then you've already chosen her.

387
00:21:29,220 --> 00:21:30,270
No. Yes.

388
00:21:32,540 --> 00:21:35,300
John, I have some vacation time coming
to me.

389
00:21:35,700 --> 00:21:37,630
I think I'm going to take it and go
away.

390
00:21:38,060 --> 00:21:39,220
You can't do that.

391
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:40,650
Yes, I can.

392
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:43,440
Unless you tell her.

393
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,500
Or better still, why don't we both tell
her?

394
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,500
I don't want any scenes, Lottie. There
is no need for any.

395
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:55,840
We can make it all very friendly.

396
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,120
We can take a drive.

397
00:22:01,020 --> 00:22:03,070
We can even take her to see the
waterfall.

398
00:22:05,220 --> 00:22:07,120
I knew then what Lottie was planning.

399
00:22:07,660 --> 00:22:11,150
Even though she didn't actually say it.
There was no need to go up there.

400
00:22:12,120 --> 00:22:15,490
Unless she was thinking the problem
could be solved in another way.

401
00:22:16,420 --> 00:22:20,140
Lottie was so sure that only Claire's
death would set me free.

402
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,760
and facts have been presented with
neither restraint nor malice.

403
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,800
And the ruling of this court is
accidental death.

404
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:07,780
Are you all right, darling?

405
00:23:08,500 --> 00:23:09,760
Yes, ma 'am, I'm all right.

406
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:12,300
Can we go home now?

407
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,260
word about our story in a moment.

408
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:41,240
I've just been told that our diver
landed, but I'm awaiting confirmation.

409
00:23:43,860 --> 00:23:47,260
Well, I suppose it's nice to know he
arrived safely.

410
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:53,659
By the way, in tonight's story, the
police ultimately found the correct

411
00:23:53,660 --> 00:23:55,640
to that age -old question.

412
00:23:56,300 --> 00:23:59,440
Was she pushed or did she jump?

413
00:24:00,169 --> 00:24:02,670
Now for a jump of my own.

414
00:24:07,370 --> 00:24:14,089
I don't mind jumping, but not if they
keep

415
00:24:14,090 --> 00:24:15,140
moving things.

416
00:24:15,350 --> 00:24:18,210
Until next time, good night.
