-Good Evening(Czech)
-Good Evening,Count(Czech)
4
00:03:43,426 --> 00:03:45,200
-Of course I will Derek
5
00:03:46,097 --> 00:03:47,496
Oh darling
6
00:03:49,989 --> 00:03:51,998
Darling,darling
7
00:03:53,272 --> 00:03:54,605
I wish you didn't have to go now
8
00:03:54,648 --> 00:03:55,716
I know darling
9
00:04:03,193 --> 00:04:04,956
Anyway I should only be
gone two months
10
00:04:06,458 --> 00:04:07,843
I suppose you couldn't call it off
11
00:04:08,227 --> 00:04:10,693
Hardly everything's been booked
and my sister is expecting me
12
00:04:10,983 --> 00:04:14,127
You know she's been so ill,the family
thinks it very odd if I didn't go
13
00:04:14,886 --> 00:04:16,772
I know I am crazy
14
00:04:16,780 --> 00:04:20,450
Don't worry I'll promise not to look
at any strange men in Ceylon
15
00:04:20,450 --> 00:04:21,771
I'll be back before you realize
16
00:04:21,835 --> 00:04:24,272
that I'm gone,you'll be so wrapped up
in that job of yours
17
00:04:28,182 --> 00:04:29,239
Derek,what's the matter?
18
00:04:29,940 --> 00:04:31,119
I haven't got the job anymore
19
00:04:31,803 --> 00:04:32,808
What happened?
20
00:04:33,955 --> 00:04:35,957
Was it anything to do with Lady Brasted?
21
00:04:36,250 --> 00:04:37,287
Why do you ask that?
22
00:04:37,420 --> 00:04:38,493
She is just come in
23
00:04:38,634 --> 00:04:40,254
-Where?
-Over there
24
00:04:41,224 --> 00:04:42,424
You don't like her,do you?
25
00:04:42,620 --> 00:04:44,849
I think she's one of most beautiful
women I've ever met
26
00:04:45,144 --> 00:04:46,144
One of the least likeable
27
00:04:46,843 --> 00:04:48,297
She has always been very good to me
28
00:04:48,420 --> 00:04:49,723
I hope you reciprocated
29
00:04:50,504 --> 00:04:52,976
-She happens to be married to my boss
-Your ex boss
30
00:04:53,170 --> 00:04:56,240
-Yes
-She has nothing to do with you leaving?
31
00:04:56,257 --> 00:04:57,356
Nothing
32
00:04:57,841 --> 00:05:00,772
-Well I think it is a stinker anyway
-It's worse that that
33
00:05:00,841 --> 00:05:01,860
Tell me more
34
00:05:01,905 --> 00:05:03,317
No,I can't,not here,Waiter!
35
00:05:03,435 --> 00:05:04,527
My bill please
36
00:05:04,750 --> 00:05:06,042
Let's go somewhere where you can
37
00:05:06,500 --> 00:05:08,628
I didn't want to upset you
just you were going away
38
00:05:09,042 --> 00:05:12,186
Nothing you say against Lord
Brasted could possibly upset me
39
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,514
All right
40
00:05:14,789 --> 00:05:16,781
Do you know we have to
pass her when we leave
41
00:05:16,939 --> 00:05:18,364
Don't worry we only wait a second
42
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:21,910
Good afternoon
43
00:05:23,290 --> 00:05:25,886
-Thank you
-Thank you,Sir,Good Night
44
00:05:27,849 --> 00:05:29,704
-Hello Derek Mary
-Good Evening Lady
45
00:05:29,950 --> 00:05:33,122
You know Mr and Mrs Watkins
and Mr and Mrs Mitchell,don't you?
46
00:05:33,153 --> 00:05:34,244
How do you do
47
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:35,376
Won't you join us ?
48
00:05:35,376 --> 00:05:37,830
No,we're just leaving Mary
is off to Ceylon early morning
49
00:05:37,850 --> 00:05:40,617
Never mind Arthur is telling me you
are coming to the house later on
50
00:05:40,690 --> 00:05:41,928
Yes we've something to discuss
51
00:05:42,190 --> 00:05:44,856
-Don't keep him up too late
-I won't.Good Night
52
00:05:44,856 --> 00:05:46,215
Good Night to you
53
00:05:49,550 --> 00:05:50,649
Well let's have it
54
00:05:50,707 --> 00:05:52,511
I don't see why you
should be worried about
55
00:05:52,512 --> 00:05:53,608
Please ,Derek
56
00:05:54,401 --> 00:05:56,326
You remember last week
you met a friend of mine
57
00:05:56,386 --> 00:05:57,392
-Stepan Mikla
-Yes
58
00:05:57,530 --> 00:05:58,801
Did I tell you why he was here?
59
00:05:59,137 --> 00:06:00,822
Something to do with
refugees wasn't it ?
60
00:06:00,900 --> 00:06:01,912
Yes that's right URDP
61
00:06:01,950 --> 00:06:03,655
I never know what
all those initials mean
62
00:06:04,174 --> 00:06:06,647
In this case they have the keep
about 20 million of our money
63
00:06:06,700 --> 00:06:08,041
-You know who controls it ?
-You?
64
00:06:09,232 --> 00:06:12,190
Worse luck Lord Brasted
they are supposed to
65
00:06:12,355 --> 00:06:14,297
be spent on the resettlement of DPS and
66
00:06:14,390 --> 00:06:15,879
the relief of people who are starving
67
00:06:15,910 --> 00:06:17,722
-And isn't it
-No Stepan came here last week
68
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,468
because he'd been dismissed
69
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:22,534
He'd been in charge of the administration
of the funds in SEEurope
70
00:06:22,630 --> 00:06:23,838
He was doing a wonderful job
71
00:06:23,902 --> 00:06:24,966
Then why was he fired?
72
00:06:24,990 --> 00:06:26,327
Because he was doing it too well
73
00:06:26,359 --> 00:06:27,441
Too well?
74
00:06:27,460 --> 00:06:29,611
Yes,too much of the money
was finding it's way
75
00:06:29,690 --> 00:06:31,234
to people whom it was really intended
76
00:06:31,270 --> 00:06:33,241
Some of the high ups
had a better idea than that
77
00:06:33,290 --> 00:06:35,061
in there by diverting the money
78
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:36,475
their own work people until
79
00:06:36,490 --> 00:06:37,939
various political organizations they
80
00:06:38,010 --> 00:06:39,465
have to do themselves a bit of good
81
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:40,818
Only Stepan stood in their way
82
00:06:40,830 --> 00:06:41,838
so they dismissed him
83
00:06:41,890 --> 00:06:43,666
But surely Lord Brasted
wouldn't allow that?
84
00:06:44,348 --> 00:06:46,808
Most people would do a
great deal for 500,000 pounds
85
00:06:47,860 --> 00:06:49,457
-You mean they were bribes?
-Yes
86
00:06:50,410 --> 00:06:51,475
What are you going to do?
87
00:06:51,490 --> 00:06:53,892
Stepan wants me to go to
see the Prime Minister
88
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,232
-You can't do that
-No I told him.
89
00:06:56,250 --> 00:06:57,712
I can't do anything until he gets me
90
00:06:57,730 --> 00:06:59,345
definite proofs that's why he's gone
91
00:06:59,370 --> 00:07:01,637
to Prague now to get the
papers from the banks directly
92
00:07:01,730 --> 00:07:03,870
Sorry,Sir,you're not allowed
to park here after dark
93
00:07:03,870 --> 00:07:04,952
Why not?
94
00:07:05,140 --> 00:07:07,300
Don't ask me why not it's the regulations
95
00:07:07,380 --> 00:07:08,471
We were only talking
96
00:07:09,129 --> 00:07:10,821
-Yeah
-What did you think we were doing?
97
00:07:10,850 --> 00:07:12,190
I'm not paid to think,Miss
98
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:13,753
I'm paid to move you on now come on
99
00:07:13,980 --> 00:07:14,982
Just speed
100
00:07:30,391 --> 00:07:31,931
-Good Evening Morton
-Good Evening,Miss
101
00:07:32,019 --> 00:07:34,275
-Good Evening
-Where is everybody?
102
00:07:34,369 --> 00:07:36,012
The family are in the drawing room,Miss
103
00:07:36,109 --> 00:07:37,395
-Nobody in the library?
-No,Miss
104
00:07:37,434 --> 00:07:38,505
Good,come on,Derek
105
00:07:46,049 --> 00:07:48,165
Derek,don't you think you ought to tell
106
00:07:48,209 --> 00:07:49,634
Lord Brasted what you heard ?
107
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:50,708
I have
108
00:07:50,769 --> 00:07:51,815
What happened ?
109
00:07:52,152 --> 00:07:53,698
So he denied it of course
110
00:07:54,249 --> 00:07:55,689
But first he was very angry
111
00:07:55,689 --> 00:07:56,866
Then he laughed
112
00:07:56,889 --> 00:07:58,856
He said he admired my courage but not my
113
00:07:58,939 --> 00:08:00,671
common sense you could see he was
114
00:08:00,739 --> 00:08:02,980
frightened then quite suddenly he asked
115
00:08:03,009 --> 00:08:04,743
me if it was Stepan who had told me
116
00:08:04,929 --> 00:08:06,021
Why should he ask that?
117
00:08:06,881 --> 00:08:07,927
Because it's true
118
00:08:08,289 --> 00:08:10,510
-Then he fired you
-No,not quite..
119
00:08:10,599 --> 00:08:12,622
He is too smart for that
he just said that he
120
00:08:12,709 --> 00:08:14,460
hated to see me make such a fool of myself
121
00:08:14,479 --> 00:08:15,656
I couldn't go on being his
122
00:08:15,689 --> 00:08:17,383
secretary of course but he would give me
123
00:08:17,419 --> 00:08:18,995
a three years assignment in West Africa
124
00:08:19,079 --> 00:08:20,126
How nice of him
125
00:08:20,179 --> 00:08:21,534
Yes,wasn't it,that's not all
126
00:08:22,179 --> 00:08:23,910
In view of my long and faithful service
127
00:08:23,959 --> 00:08:26,770
He proposed to make me a
present of ten thousand pounds
128
00:08:27,809 --> 00:08:30,192
Ten thousands pounds what for ?
129
00:08:30,192 --> 00:08:31,331
Yeah what for?
130
00:08:32,615 --> 00:08:34,252
Derek my father is the cleverest man in
131
00:08:34,269 --> 00:08:35,811
the world you've got to tell him what
132
00:08:35,849 --> 00:08:37,500
you just told me and let him advise you
133
00:08:37,569 --> 00:08:38,934
I don't want you mixed up in this
134
00:08:39,009 --> 00:08:41,022
He'll be in the next room
now let me talk to him
135
00:08:41,108 --> 00:08:42,452
No I'd rather go it my own way
136
00:08:42,500 --> 00:08:43,742
What are you going to do ?
137
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,824
I've got a date with Lord Brasted
in half an hour
138
00:08:46,850 --> 00:08:49,370
I'm going to tell him what
he can do with his West African job
139
00:08:49,439 --> 00:08:51,756
give him a chance to call
the whole thing off
140
00:08:51,819 --> 00:08:52,906
If he doesn't?
141
00:08:52,919 --> 00:08:54,716
If he doesn't I shall take
the morning plane
142
00:08:54,799 --> 00:08:56,875
to Prague warn Stepan and
get conclusive evidence
143
00:08:57,804 --> 00:08:59,180
Derek, I wish I could go with you
144
00:08:59,528 --> 00:09:00,623
So do I
145
00:09:00,868 --> 00:09:03,115
Promise not to do anything
silly until I get back
146
00:09:03,129 --> 00:09:04,633
I'll try not
147
00:09:04,677 --> 00:09:05,712
Oh,Derek
148
00:09:10,449 --> 00:09:11,486
I do love you so
149
00:09:12,059 --> 00:09:13,088
I began to wonder if you
150
00:09:13,109 --> 00:09:14,703
were ever going to tell me
151
00:09:15,485 --> 00:09:16,842
I meant to wait longest as ever
152
00:09:16,941 --> 00:09:18,005
Glad you didn't
153
00:09:18,533 --> 00:09:21,463
Let's not tell anybody
else until it is all over
154
00:09:21,788 --> 00:09:22,869
Anything you say
155
00:09:23,578 --> 00:09:24,647
I really got to go
156
00:09:25,435 --> 00:09:27,436
Darling don't let him bully you
157
00:09:27,466 --> 00:09:28,544
I won't
158
00:09:30,218 --> 00:09:31,353
Let me know what happens
159
00:09:31,621 --> 00:09:33,628
Promise me if anything goes
wrong while I am away
160
00:09:33,630 --> 00:09:35,679
-You'll talk to father
-All right
161
00:09:39,870 --> 00:09:41,353
-Goodbye darling
-Bye
162
00:09:42,148 --> 00:09:43,488
Come back safe
163
00:09:50,451 --> 00:09:51,729
Hello,darling,who is that?
164
00:09:52,060 --> 00:09:53,318
-Oh it's Derek
-Have I met him?
165
00:09:53,340 --> 00:09:55,342
I don't know it is sometime
since he's been here
166
00:09:55,390 --> 00:09:57,444
Well I long ago gave up
all hope remembering
167
00:09:57,444 --> 00:09:59,197
which young man it is
at the moment
168
00:09:59,220 --> 00:10:01,101
-Say good night to your father,darling
-I will
169
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,559
-He's still working
-Good night
170
00:10:10,203 --> 00:10:11,285
-Hello,dear
171
00:10:11,380 --> 00:10:12,714
-Everything packed
-Nearly
172
00:10:13,110 --> 00:10:14,634
-We're going to miss you know
-Nonsense
173
00:10:14,680 --> 00:10:17,180
You're usually so busy you
don't know whether I'm here or not
174
00:10:17,180 --> 00:10:18,192
Very sad of that
175
00:10:18,492 --> 00:10:19,516
Tickets in order?
176
00:10:19,700 --> 00:10:21,258
Yes,Walter has seen to everything
177
00:10:21,350 --> 00:10:23,922
We can't see your off myself
I'm afraid I'm a in court all day
178
00:10:24,010 --> 00:10:25,250
-Well,mother is coming
-Good
179
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,402
Give my love to your sister
see that she gets well
180
00:10:27,502 --> 00:10:29,870
I'll do I'd better go finish my
packing,Good Night Darling
181
00:10:29,884 --> 00:10:32,942
Good night Dear,God bless you
182
00:10:38,758 --> 00:10:41,657
You surely didn't think you could
buy me for ten thousands pounds
183
00:10:41,950 --> 00:10:42,983
Nobody wants to buy you
184
00:10:43,288 --> 00:10:44,704
I lost my temper just now
185
00:10:44,770 --> 00:10:46,616
because I hate to see a
clever young man who
186
00:10:46,630 --> 00:10:48,219
who served me
faithfully for six years
187
00:10:48,220 --> 00:10:49,469
go and make a fool of himself
188
00:10:49,550 --> 00:10:51,473
-I know what I'm doing
-I sincerely trust you do
189
00:10:51,530 --> 00:10:53,486
Tomorrow morning I shall
be on my way to Prague
190
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,004
Please do as you please of course but
191
00:10:55,049 --> 00:10:57,690
-You'll be wasting your time
-I'm not so sure about that
192
00:10:57,690 --> 00:10:59,812
I am I suggest you think it over before
193
00:10:59,850 --> 00:11:00,940
you do anything rash
194
00:11:01,025 --> 00:11:02,125
Good Night
195
00:11:11,652 --> 00:11:14,338
Derek I had to talk to you
196
00:11:14,692 --> 00:11:15,738
I'm so sorry
197
00:11:17,190 --> 00:11:18,310
You must be terribly upset
198
00:11:19,432 --> 00:11:20,484
No just angry
199
00:11:21,483 --> 00:11:23,426
But I always thought he
was your best friend
200
00:11:23,489 --> 00:11:24,503
Who your husband?
201
00:11:26,123 --> 00:11:27,446
I was talking about Count Mikla
202
00:11:28,364 --> 00:11:30,458
-What about ?
-Didn't you heard?
203
00:11:30,472 --> 00:11:31,531
No,what is it?
204
00:11:33,010 --> 00:11:34,536
I've got the news two hours ago I was
205
00:11:34,630 --> 00:11:35,841
sure he would have told you
206
00:11:37,097 --> 00:11:38,923
He committed suicide in
Prague last night
207
00:11:39,221 --> 00:11:40,316
No
208
00:11:40,630 --> 00:11:43,253
Apparently he was in some business trouble
209
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,062
His valet found him shot himself
210
00:11:46,930 --> 00:11:48,829
So they made it look like suicide
211
00:11:50,011 --> 00:11:52,463
What do you mean ? It was suicide but
212
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:53,912
is there any doubt about it,is it?
213
00:11:53,940 --> 00:11:55,603
No there isn't any doubt about it at all
214
00:11:55,660 --> 00:11:57,905
Stepan didn't commit
suicide,he was murdered
215
00:11:57,977 --> 00:11:59,071
Derek!
216
00:12:10,629 --> 00:12:13,057
I'm afraid I'm very late
217
00:12:13,089 --> 00:12:14,936
-The family are in beds ,Sir
-Is Mary too?
218
00:12:14,937 --> 00:12:15,950
Yes sir
219
00:12:15,959 --> 00:12:19,014
Well,would you see to that she gets
that before she leaves in the morning?
220
00:12:19,019 --> 00:12:20,306
-Certainly
-Thank you very much
221
00:12:20,319 --> 00:12:21,393
-Good night
-Good night
222
00:12:28,953 --> 00:12:30,443
Not getting nervous,are you,darling?
223
00:12:30,936 --> 00:12:32,018
Miss Mary Dearing!
224
00:12:32,090 --> 00:12:33,175
Here!
225
00:12:33,175 --> 00:12:34,813
It's a package for you,Miss Dearing
226
00:12:34,813 --> 00:12:36,897
Sign here please
227
00:12:38,008 --> 00:12:39,105
Another admirer?
228
00:12:39,169 --> 00:12:40,892
No the same one
229
00:12:41,540 --> 00:12:42,891
He evidently has expensive taste
230
00:12:42,979 --> 00:12:44,882
-I think you..
-I just know you have
231
00:12:45,570 --> 00:12:49,354
All passengers flying to Rome
and Cairo,Iraq and Sudan
232
00:12:49,450 --> 00:12:50,510
That's you,darling
233
00:12:50,550 --> 00:12:52,209
Good Bye,darling
234
00:12:52,308 --> 00:12:54,317
-Startled at it won't you?
-Don't worry.I'll come
235
00:13:10,224 --> 00:13:11,323
Thank You Morton
236
00:13:12,598 --> 00:13:15,360
Lady Brasted has called My Lady I've
shown her into the drawing room
237
00:13:18,776 --> 00:13:20,243
Thank You Morton
238
00:13:25,216 --> 00:13:27,721
Good afternoon I'm sorry
I wasn't at home
239
00:13:27,879 --> 00:13:29,956
I've been seeing my
daughter off to Ceylon
240
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,644
I'm afraid it's a very
inconvenient moment
241
00:13:31,690 --> 00:13:32,859
to call but Sir John
242
00:13:32,940 --> 00:13:34,282
asked us to be here at 5 o'clock
243
00:13:34,380 --> 00:13:35,958
-I hope you don't mind
-Of course not
244
00:13:36,030 --> 00:13:37,522
We make our living that way you know
245
00:13:37,810 --> 00:13:39,667
-You must have some tea?
-No thank you
246
00:13:39,700 --> 00:13:40,760
Then I will
247
00:13:41,479 --> 00:13:42,790
I'm afraid I must be getting old
248
00:13:42,810 --> 00:13:45,134
If I don't have my tea I feel empty
249
00:13:45,134 --> 00:13:47,385
Particularly after an
afternoon in an airport
250
00:13:47,529 --> 00:13:50,112
I beg you pardon,My Lady,but can
the cook have a word with you?
251
00:13:50,260 --> 00:13:52,099
Oh dear what have I forgot to order now
252
00:13:52,150 --> 00:13:53,910
-Will you excuse me
-Surely
253
00:13:54,740 --> 00:13:56,790
May I speak to you about
something else My Lady?
254
00:13:56,810 --> 00:13:59,697
-Yes
-It's this note,My Lady
255
00:14:00,116 --> 00:14:02,248
A young gentleman left it
last night to Miss Mary
256
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,564
In the bustle this morning
I forgot to get give it out
257
00:14:04,630 --> 00:14:06,800
-Which young gentleman?
-I don't know his name,My Lady
258
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,522
But I did hear Miss Mary call him Derek
259
00:14:08,529 --> 00:14:11,279
All right Morton I'll expect
it will keep leave it over there
260
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,032
-I'll send it on to her
-Very good,My Lady
261
00:14:37,551 --> 00:14:39,672
-Sir John is expecting us
-Will you step this way,Sir
262
00:14:43,019 --> 00:14:44,753
Sir John is just coming out,I'll tell him
263
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,248
-Good Afternoon
-Good Afternoon,Sir John
264
00:14:48,835 --> 00:14:51,170
-I think you know Lord Brasted
-Yes of course how do you
265
00:14:51,270 --> 00:14:52,299
How do you do
266
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:53,940
I think we better go into the library
267
00:14:53,959 --> 00:14:55,607
Lady Brasted is in the drawing room,Sir
268
00:14:55,630 --> 00:14:57,178
Oh,is she? Then we are going in there
269
00:14:57,220 --> 00:14:58,553
Very good to see us here Sir John
270
00:14:58,553 --> 00:15:00,550
Lord Brasted would be glad to
go to your chambers
271
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,279
You understand the
newspapers are so alert
272
00:15:02,340 --> 00:15:04,593
When they see anyone unusual
there are instant rumours
273
00:15:04,593 --> 00:15:06,716
Of course,we just at the
moment can't afford rumours
274
00:15:06,738 --> 00:15:07,765
Bad as that,is it?
275
00:15:07,770 --> 00:15:08,864
Worse
276
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:11,967
-Hello my dear
-Hello,darling
277
00:15:12,060 --> 00:15:13,478
Good Afternoon,Lady Brasted
278
00:15:13,667 --> 00:15:16,420
Good Afternoon,Lady Brasted,I hope
you haven't been waiting too long
279
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,049
-No of course not
-Do sit down will you
280
00:15:20,839 --> 00:15:22,041
Mersel,what can I do for you?
281
00:15:22,100 --> 00:15:24,037
Lord Brasted wants your advice,Sir John
282
00:15:24,060 --> 00:15:26,434
He is faced for the prospect
of bringing action for libel
283
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,444
That's quite simple my
advice is don't breathe
284
00:15:28,540 --> 00:15:31,389
Nobody ever brings an action for
libel without regretting it in the end
285
00:15:31,470 --> 00:15:33,610
The only people make anything
out of it is the lawyer
286
00:15:33,610 --> 00:15:35,741
sometimes the action of libel
is necessary of course
287
00:15:35,790 --> 00:15:37,533
Only if it's a matter of life or death
288
00:15:37,620 --> 00:15:40,827
-Yes, but this is
-I see and perhaps you
289
00:15:40,850 --> 00:15:42,129
better tell me more about it
290
00:15:42,170 --> 00:15:44,482
I take it you know something
of the scheme Lord Brasted
291
00:15:44,570 --> 00:15:46,210
is administering for the government UNRDP
292
00:15:46,270 --> 00:15:47,292
Of course
293
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,237
For this work Lord Brasted
has been employing
294
00:15:51,259 --> 00:15:53,232
confidential secretary named Waterhouse
295
00:15:53,330 --> 00:15:56,908
-I think you must know him Sir John
-No,I've never heard of him
296
00:15:56,910 --> 00:15:58,521
Oh that's strange
297
00:15:58,620 --> 00:16:00,573
No he was much more
than a secretary I regarded
298
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,314
..him as a friend
-In point of fact he is a
299
00:16:02,350 --> 00:16:04,363
-young scoundrel
-I can't believe it
300
00:16:04,390 --> 00:16:07,191
-My wife still believes it
-Is she wrong?
301
00:16:07,430 --> 00:16:08,792
Well you should judge yourself
302
00:16:08,897 --> 00:16:11,149
His work on the relief scheme
brought him into contact
303
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:12,771
with a man called Mikla Count Mikla
304
00:16:12,830 --> 00:16:15,406
He was in charge of our
organization inside East Europe
305
00:16:15,430 --> 00:16:17,605
Yesterday Waterhouse came to see me
306
00:16:17,650 --> 00:16:18,948
He said he wanted money
307
00:16:18,990 --> 00:16:22,216
-Great deal of money
-Any particular amount mentioned?
308
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,159
Twenty thousand pounds
309
00:16:25,099 --> 00:16:26,521
Did he say why I wanted the money?
310
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,208
I asked him that first he
was evasive he said
311
00:16:29,229 --> 00:16:31,179
something about a woman
then he changed
312
00:16:31,180 --> 00:16:33,292
finally he tell me that he and Mikla
313
00:16:33,350 --> 00:16:35,594
gambling on the stock
exchange and causing difficulties
314
00:16:35,660 --> 00:16:37,996
-Did he ask you the money for a loan?
-No
315
00:16:38,070 --> 00:16:40,823
-Do you mean he tried to black mail you?
-Yes
316
00:16:40,910 --> 00:16:42,086
On what grounds?
317
00:16:42,100 --> 00:16:44,896
He said that Mikla had discovered
the whole thing was a fraud
318
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,408
and that unless the money was paid
319
00:16:46,450 --> 00:16:50,144
-He would go to the Prime Minister and say so
-I see
320
00:16:50,170 --> 00:16:52,378
Was anybody present
when he made this threat?
321
00:16:52,470 --> 00:16:56,277
-No,we were quite alone
-He took good care of that
322
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,241
-and there is not much evidence of it
-My word
323
00:16:58,340 --> 00:17:01,504
-Alone.
-Isn't that enough?
324
00:17:01,570 --> 00:17:03,729
Perhaps.What exactly did he
suggest that you've done?
325
00:17:03,790 --> 00:17:06,357
Averted funds from UNRDP to
my friends and myself
326
00:17:06,673 --> 00:17:07,922
Any specific amount mentioned?
327
00:17:07,969 --> 00:17:11,054
Oh,yes I was supposed to have received
about five hundred thousands pounds
328
00:17:11,060 --> 00:17:12,221
-In England ?
-No the money..
329
00:17:12,290 --> 00:17:14,398
..had been paid into the
International Bank of Prague
330
00:17:14,445 --> 00:17:15,515
Lord Brasted
331
00:17:16,821 --> 00:17:19,859
I don't need to ask if there are any
possible grounds for these allegations?
332
00:17:19,863 --> 00:17:20,966
Oh,none whatever
333
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,280
As far as your knowledge goes..
334
00:17:22,380 --> 00:17:24,743
..no such similar sums has
been paid into Bank of Prague?
335
00:17:24,820 --> 00:17:25,824
I'm sure they haven't
336
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,882
And that could be proved
beyond any possible doubt?
337
00:17:27,970 --> 00:17:29,590
-Of course
-The books could be examined
338
00:17:29,670 --> 00:17:31,558
-Oh yes
-That seems to be no possible evidence..
339
00:17:31,580 --> 00:17:32,769
..except of course Waterhouse
340
00:17:32,769 --> 00:17:33,816
None
341
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,456
I think I ought to tell you sir John..
342
00:17:35,510 --> 00:17:37,161
that I have already
advised Lord Brasted
343
00:17:37,171 --> 00:17:39,235
that Waterhouse should be
prosecuted for black mail
344
00:17:39,322 --> 00:17:40,322
Oh No
345
00:17:40,350 --> 00:17:42,881
I'm sorry,Lady Brasted,but oh yes,
it's the obvious course
346
00:17:43,955 --> 00:17:45,654
But Lord Brasted refuses to take my advice
347
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,284
-Oh why?
-Because it's impossible
348
00:17:48,988 --> 00:17:51,376
One section of public opinions
against this scheme already
349
00:17:51,380 --> 00:17:52,725
It's costing a lot of money
350
00:17:52,810 --> 00:17:55,160
and they are not very interested in
feeding starving Europe
351
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:56,937
We are not exactly well fed themselves
352
00:17:57,020 --> 00:17:59,745
It only needs a scandal like this
and the whole thing would collapse
353
00:17:59,790 --> 00:18:01,684
That's why I've come to
you,what am I to do?
354
00:18:01,740 --> 00:18:03,583
It seems only to be two alternatives
355
00:18:03,660 --> 00:18:06,013
First to prosecute young
Waterhouse for trying to obtain..
356
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:07,395
twenty thousand pounds by threats
357
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:08,616
that I gather is impossible
358
00:18:08,660 --> 00:18:11,708
-Quite
-The other is do nothing
359
00:18:11,710 --> 00:18:13,992
What do you mean sit still
and let him say what he likes
360
00:18:14,090 --> 00:18:16,835
Not quite the next step is
to get hold of Count Mikla
361
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,121
I said how if it is him and Waterhouse
are in this together
362
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:20,308
Get him to come and see you
363
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,670
At least we should know if
that part of the story is true
364
00:18:23,173 --> 00:18:25,614
-Yes,Lady Brasted?
-It doesn't matter
365
00:18:25,650 --> 00:18:28,182
And in the mean time if Waterhouse
goes to the Prime Minister?
366
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:29,805
Then you would have to take proceedings
367
00:18:29,901 --> 00:18:30,937
Do you agree Sir John?
368
00:18:31,030 --> 00:18:33,152
Yes,that would seem to be
a matter of life or death
369
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,924
Thank you we'll keep you informed
370
00:18:36,140 --> 00:18:37,269
Good Bye,Lady Brasted
371
00:18:46,970 --> 00:18:50,085
-My name is Waterhouse
-Yes
372
00:18:52,648 --> 00:18:55,691
All right I'll be there
at four o'clock,Good Bye
373
00:18:56,543 --> 00:18:57,544
Darling what is it?
374
00:18:57,559 --> 00:19:00,421
Waterhouse.He's not only
been to the Prime Minister..
375
00:19:00,500 --> 00:19:01,950
He's put the whole thing in writing
376
00:19:01,999 --> 00:19:05,613
-No
-Yes the facts are far enough
377
00:19:06,462 --> 00:19:07,494
What are you going to do?
378
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,345
What do you think? Fight of course
379
00:19:10,499 --> 00:19:12,349
Get me to Sir John Dearing
380
00:19:14,129 --> 00:19:15,224
Arthur
381
00:19:16,123 --> 00:19:18,738
How much truth is it
in the story of Derek's?
382
00:19:19,221 --> 00:19:20,245
Enough
383
00:19:21,311 --> 00:19:22,345
I see
384
00:19:22,740 --> 00:19:25,134
You have to to tell Sir John
about Count Mikla now
385
00:19:25,647 --> 00:19:26,647
Yes
386
00:19:26,691 --> 00:19:28,679
At least they can't call him
387
00:19:30,410 --> 00:19:32,501
Waterhouse can do enough
damage on his own
388
00:19:34,242 --> 00:19:35,296
Perhaps I can talk to him
389
00:19:36,817 --> 00:19:37,960
No,no you stay out of it
390
00:19:38,050 --> 00:19:39,104
I can handle it
391
00:19:39,150 --> 00:19:41,778
-I only wanted to help
-Don't worry
392
00:19:42,238 --> 00:19:43,336
I know you'll stand by me
393
00:19:49,214 --> 00:19:50,362
Hello,Sir John?
394
00:19:51,288 --> 00:19:52,469
I've got to see you urgently
395
00:19:53,592 --> 00:19:55,895
Waterhouse has been to the Prime Minister
396
00:19:56,832 --> 00:19:59,862
There could be no doubt about why
the Prime Minister wants to see you
397
00:19:59,940 --> 00:20:03,118
No,he told me Waterhouse had to see him
with some rather startling information
398
00:20:03,118 --> 00:20:05,347
-I see
-Thanks no thank you
399
00:20:05,427 --> 00:20:07,338
In that case you should tell
the Prime Minister
400
00:20:07,340 --> 00:20:09,966
that you've already instructed
your solicitor to take proceedings
401
00:20:10,050 --> 00:20:12,496
-Do you see to that,Mersel?
-Very well
402
00:20:12,496 --> 00:20:14,062
Did you get in touch with Count Mikla?
403
00:20:14,141 --> 00:20:15,201
No.I'm afraid not
404
00:20:15,250 --> 00:20:16,808
-Surely..
-For the very simple reason he's dead
405
00:20:16,810 --> 00:20:18,857
He committed suicide the night before last
406
00:20:19,062 --> 00:20:21,413
That's unfortunate to say the least of it
407
00:20:21,430 --> 00:20:24,193
But why? He lost his nerve
and took the easy way out
408
00:20:25,667 --> 00:20:27,292
Are you sure that he committed suicide?
409
00:20:27,390 --> 00:20:29,116
Oh I don't think there's any doubt about it
410
00:20:29,120 --> 00:20:31,320
He was found in his apartment,
he'd blown his brains out
411
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:32,566
Sir John seems sceptical
412
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,110
No,I was just wondering what
other people might think or say
413
00:20:36,370 --> 00:20:37,577
What could they say?
414
00:20:37,750 --> 00:20:39,297
This man came to discover the fraud
415
00:20:39,410 --> 00:20:41,224
He was the only person who knew the details
416
00:20:42,340 --> 00:20:44,892
A suspicious mind might
think that he is safer dead
417
00:20:45,863 --> 00:20:47,936
You mean some people might
think he'd been murdered
418
00:20:47,990 --> 00:20:51,044
-It's possible
-That'll be quite absurd
419
00:20:51,100 --> 00:20:53,279
-Obviously
-Sir John..
420
00:20:53,710 --> 00:20:55,482
-May I say something?
-Of course
421
00:20:55,580 --> 00:20:57,488
No,Darling,I think you better
leave this to us
422
00:20:57,510 --> 00:20:59,601
But why? Perhaps Lady Brasted can
make a suggestion
423
00:20:59,660 --> 00:21:03,360
I think I can you see I know
Derek so much better than you
424
00:21:03,390 --> 00:21:05,928
I don't believe he ever
thought of blackmail
425
00:21:05,930 --> 00:21:07,411
He believes every word he said
426
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,840
He simply been misled by someone
much cleverer than he is
427
00:21:10,900 --> 00:21:12,668
Why did he demands twenty thousands pounds?
428
00:21:12,670 --> 00:21:15,281
Somehow I feel certain that's
been misunderstood
429
00:21:15,310 --> 00:21:17,079
Sir John let me talk to him?
430
00:21:17,140 --> 00:21:19,289
He'll talk much more free to
me than to anybody else
431
00:21:19,330 --> 00:21:20,532
-No I'd rather you didn't
-Why?
432
00:21:20,590 --> 00:21:22,405
Sir John will tell you why
433
00:21:22,987 --> 00:21:24,782
I think your husband is right Lady Brasted
434
00:21:24,810 --> 00:21:27,143
If ever there should be
necessity of proceedings in court
435
00:21:27,180 --> 00:21:28,725
your interview might be misinterpreted
436
00:21:28,793 --> 00:21:30,420
Words can be twisted
437
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,750
No,conversations is quite useless,
what we want is something written
438
00:21:35,146 --> 00:21:36,169
Why?
439
00:21:36,190 --> 00:21:38,128
Because it is the dream
of every cross examiner
440
00:21:38,130 --> 00:21:39,949
to present to something which his adversary
441
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,081
has written and forgotten
442
00:21:41,470 --> 00:21:44,217
-Will that help ?
-Certainly might even win the case
443
00:21:44,230 --> 00:21:45,420
-As Madsen case?
444
00:21:45,782 --> 00:21:47,802
Yes,do you know anything of that at all?
445
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,228
No I was just thinking
446
00:21:51,456 --> 00:21:53,351
-Good Bye,Sir John
-Good Bye
447
00:22:00,843 --> 00:22:01,899
All right I'm coming
448
00:22:07,102 --> 00:22:09,640
-Oh
-Hello,Derek,may I come in?
449
00:22:09,690 --> 00:22:10,709
Yes
450
00:22:17,683 --> 00:22:19,232
You don't seem very pleased to see me
451
00:22:20,496 --> 00:22:21,529
Do you expect me to be?
452
00:22:23,419 --> 00:22:24,617
Derek what's the matter?
453
00:22:24,979 --> 00:22:26,560
We used to be such good friends
454
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,915
We agreed that all that was
over when you married Arthur
455
00:22:29,460 --> 00:22:32,144
Not that we still can't be friends surely
456
00:22:32,159 --> 00:22:34,585
You know Arthur's been very good for me
457
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:35,666
I don't doubt it
458
00:22:35,690 --> 00:22:37,263
Nobody could wish for a better husband
459
00:22:37,309 --> 00:22:39,208
He's been kind sympathetic generous
460
00:22:39,209 --> 00:22:40,290
With other people's money
461
00:22:40,349 --> 00:22:41,684
That's not fair
462
00:22:41,684 --> 00:22:42,982
-It's true
-You've no proof
463
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:44,539
I shall have in a couple of days
464
00:22:44,579 --> 00:22:45,836
I'm leaving for Prague tomorrow
465
00:22:45,859 --> 00:22:47,633
I'd be there now if I could got a passage
466
00:22:49,803 --> 00:22:51,067
Change your mind and stay here
467
00:22:51,450 --> 00:22:52,619
I'm afraid I can't
468
00:22:54,441 --> 00:22:56,356
Derek,Arthur has done everything for you
469
00:22:56,610 --> 00:22:59,020
He gave me a job,yes,
when you asked him to
470
00:22:59,120 --> 00:23:00,895
-Isn't that enough?
-No
471
00:23:01,402 --> 00:23:02,807
What more do you want?
472
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,834
If I would say that I wanted
to see justice done
473
00:23:05,859 --> 00:23:07,499
I suppose you think I was being pompous
474
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:09,675
I would rather,yes
475
00:23:10,100 --> 00:23:11,667
Well I'm afraid that's what I do want
476
00:23:13,070 --> 00:23:15,354
And nothing I can say will
make you change your mind?
477
00:23:15,354 --> 00:23:16,354
No
478
00:23:18,216 --> 00:23:19,622
You'll make me feel very miserable
479
00:23:20,399 --> 00:23:22,065
I'm sorry I don't mean to hurt
480
00:23:24,690 --> 00:23:27,288
Please drop it,for my sake
481
00:23:27,637 --> 00:23:28,896
No I can't
482
00:23:30,942 --> 00:23:32,187
All right
483
00:23:35,632 --> 00:23:37,749
I think you're going to be sorry
484
00:25:03,540 --> 00:25:05,749
You step this way,Sir
485
00:25:11,728 --> 00:25:12,778
Waterhouse!
486
00:25:14,690 --> 00:25:17,298
Good Evening.I hope you'll forgive
me for disturbing you so late
487
00:25:17,370 --> 00:25:18,933
But the matter is of extremely urgency
488
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,929
Just a moment,Mr Waterhouse,
may I ask you why you come here?
489
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,770
-To ask your advice
-Professionally?
490
00:25:23,830 --> 00:25:24,848
In a way,yes
491
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:26,497
Would your enquiry be anyway connected
492
00:25:26,500 --> 00:25:28,472
with the case of Lord Brasted
against Waterhouse?
493
00:25:28,519 --> 00:25:29,548
Yes
494
00:25:29,570 --> 00:25:32,363
I think I have to tell you that I've
been paid to act for Lord Brasted
495
00:25:32,410 --> 00:25:33,487
Oh I see I didn't know
496
00:25:33,500 --> 00:25:36,438
Now you do know you realize I can't
discuss the matter with you
497
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:37,900
-Yes of course
-Very well
498
00:25:38,827 --> 00:25:40,276
-Good night Mr Waterhouse
-Good night
499
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,205
What's the matter? Was I too hard on him?
500
00:25:46,696 --> 00:25:48,691
No,sad face don't you think?
501
00:25:48,870 --> 00:25:50,432
Was it? He tried to near the face to me
502
00:25:51,161 --> 00:25:53,269
Very dour,that's all right,your fix
503
00:25:53,369 --> 00:25:55,428
I do so hate be interrupted
this time of night
504
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,033
What is this list for?
That's all messup
505
00:26:08,641 --> 00:26:11,168
-Thank you
-Letter for you darling
506
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:12,991
Oh,good it is from Mummy
507
00:26:22,855 --> 00:26:23,869
Anything wrong?
508
00:26:25,933 --> 00:26:30,205
No,it's just that it's a
new sensation spotted
509
00:26:30,290 --> 00:26:33,835
Feeling guilty? Never happened to me before
510
00:26:33,870 --> 00:26:35,502
What on earth are you talking about?
511
00:26:36,479 --> 00:26:38,461
Nothing it's just a letter from Derek
512
00:26:39,928 --> 00:26:42,647
Poor devil,come on,what does he say?
513
00:26:44,741 --> 00:26:48,587
Dearest, until everything has been
settled and my name cleared
514
00:26:48,609 --> 00:26:50,506
I think it's only fair to tell you
515
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,610
that we should stop communicating
with one another
516
00:26:53,704 --> 00:26:55,563
I'm sure your father would
be most embarrassed
517
00:26:55,650 --> 00:26:57,008
if he knew you were writing to me
518
00:26:57,020 --> 00:26:59,095
I should quite understand
if I don't hear again
519
00:27:01,224 --> 00:27:04,949
Yours Derek
520
00:27:06,849 --> 00:27:08,475
Do you know what he's talking about?
521
00:27:08,509 --> 00:27:10,872
Not really,no, I'm going to find out
522
00:27:34,360 --> 00:27:37,592
Now we come to the night of the 27th
523
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,287
The night Count Mikla telephoned
you to come to his hotel
524
00:27:41,290 --> 00:27:45,500
What appeared to you to
be his mental condition?
525
00:27:45,540 --> 00:27:48,002
He appeared to be very much constrained
526
00:27:48,060 --> 00:27:53,136
Now,will you tell the members of the
jury exactly what Count Mikla said to you?
527
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,095
-This of course if Sir John objects
-I object nothing
528
00:27:56,120 --> 00:27:59,057
The rules of evidence
must be observed,Mr Mainwaring
529
00:27:59,351 --> 00:28:00,510
If your Lordship pleases
530
00:28:00,571 --> 00:28:03,110
The rules of evidence do not
allow questions to put so simply
531
00:28:03,190 --> 00:28:05,927
We must try more round about methods
532
00:28:07,699 --> 00:28:11,575
In consequence of something
that Count Mikla had said to you
533
00:28:11,650 --> 00:28:14,809
did you consider it is your
duty to see Lord Brasted?
534
00:28:14,860 --> 00:28:15,885
I did
535
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,825
Did you tell Lord Brasted what it was
536
00:28:17,850 --> 00:28:19,152
Count Mikla had said to you?
537
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:20,225
I did
538
00:28:20,290 --> 00:28:24,037
Then will you tell the members of the
jury what it was you told Lord Brasted
539
00:28:24,150 --> 00:28:25,687
Count Mikla had told to you?
540
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,307
I told him that Count Mikla had discovered
541
00:28:28,340 --> 00:28:30,596
that the whole scheme was
nothing but a fraud
542
00:28:30,660 --> 00:28:32,400
In what way was it a fraud?
543
00:28:32,450 --> 00:28:37,220
Sums which belonged to
UNRDP and were earmarked for
544
00:28:37,220 --> 00:28:38,730
relief and resettlement were actually
545
00:28:38,820 --> 00:28:40,089
being used for other purposes
546
00:28:40,089 --> 00:28:41,133
Such as?
547
00:28:41,170 --> 00:28:43,477
Such as the payment of people working for
548
00:28:43,530 --> 00:28:45,647
various firms and political organisations
549
00:28:45,690 --> 00:28:48,068
It can't be a close suggestion that
Lord Brasted used it?
550
00:28:48,090 --> 00:28:50,092
-Yes
-And he approved?-Yes
551
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,373
What else did you tell Lord Brasted?
552
00:28:52,420 --> 00:28:54,394
That he had received some
of the money himself
553
00:28:54,460 --> 00:28:56,429
That he had been squared
554
00:28:56,500 --> 00:28:59,272
I suppose you mean bribed
555
00:28:59,310 --> 00:29:00,347
Yes,My lord
556
00:29:00,805 --> 00:29:02,360
Was the amount of the bribe mentioned?
557
00:29:02,430 --> 00:29:06,100
Yes,five hundred thousand pounds
558
00:29:07,219 --> 00:29:09,164
Members of the jury I think I ought to
559
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:10,863
warn you at this point
560
00:29:10,950 --> 00:29:13,687
This conversation is not evidence
of the truth of the allegation
561
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,206
It is merely evidence that this witness
562
00:29:17,300 --> 00:29:19,370
stated those facts to Lord Brasted
563
00:29:19,460 --> 00:29:20,560
Yes,My Lord
564
00:29:20,650 --> 00:29:22,919
Did you report this to Lord Brasted?
565
00:29:22,919 --> 00:29:24,127
-Yes
-What did he say?
566
00:29:24,190 --> 00:29:26,494
He pretended to be furiously angry
567
00:29:26,867 --> 00:29:27,919
Pretended?
568
00:29:27,919 --> 00:29:29,523
Can't ask that?
569
00:29:29,540 --> 00:29:31,587
Why do you say pretended?
570
00:29:31,620 --> 00:29:33,256
That's how he seemed to me
571
00:29:33,300 --> 00:29:34,969
His anger didn't last very long
572
00:29:35,519 --> 00:29:37,836
-And what happened next?
-He laughed at me
573
00:29:37,940 --> 00:29:39,898
He said I had been deceived
by a clever crook
574
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,244
-Did he condescend to identify the crook?
-Yes
575
00:29:43,330 --> 00:29:45,489
Count Mikla
576
00:29:45,550 --> 00:29:47,251
And I want to leave that for the moment
577
00:29:47,962 --> 00:29:52,082
My Lord,we have here a copy of
a letter written by this witness
578
00:29:52,130 --> 00:29:53,699
to Count Mikla
579
00:29:53,700 --> 00:29:55,407
If Count Mikla had been here of course
580
00:29:55,407 --> 00:29:57,334
it would been possible to
produce the original
581
00:29:57,390 --> 00:29:58,672
I don't know whether Sir John
582
00:29:58,750 --> 00:29:59,934
would object by using a copy?
583
00:30:00,430 --> 00:30:01,860
-I object to nothing
-Very well
584
00:30:01,870 --> 00:30:02,944
We'll hear it together
585
00:30:03,407 --> 00:30:07,805
Dear Stepan I will see Lord
Brasted tomorrow
586
00:30:09,403 --> 00:30:11,820
-Did you write this letter to Count Mikla?
-I did..
587
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,352
immediately after leaving him
588
00:30:14,321 --> 00:30:15,940
Now let's get back to the issue
589
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:20,455
Did Lord Brasted know at that time
Count Mikla had returned to Prague?
590
00:30:20,470 --> 00:30:21,815
Yes I told him
591
00:30:21,860 --> 00:30:23,591
I said that Stefan had gone back to bring
592
00:30:23,630 --> 00:30:24,800
me conclusive evidence
593
00:30:24,830 --> 00:30:29,572
Did Lord Brasted hint that anything
might happen to Count Mikla?
594
00:30:29,610 --> 00:30:32,275
Yes,he said that he would never come back
595
00:30:33,589 --> 00:30:36,380
Did you saw any influence upon
what Lord Brasted said
596
00:30:36,380 --> 00:30:38,526
as to why Count Mikla shouldn't come back?
597
00:30:38,550 --> 00:30:41,459
I did not at the time,I do now
598
00:30:41,530 --> 00:30:44,293
Well I can't trust you anymore about that
599
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,558
That's the jury to like to
form their own decision
600
00:30:47,570 --> 00:30:50,328
But anyway I think we can
take it from what you said
601
00:30:50,420 --> 00:30:53,129
That Lord Brasted totally
denied your accusation
602
00:30:53,220 --> 00:30:54,225
He did My Lord
603
00:30:54,420 --> 00:30:57,706
-You wanted me,Lady Brasted?
-What is the matter with Sir John?
604
00:30:57,730 --> 00:30:59,550
I haven't noticed anything out of ordinary
605
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,453
You must have,it's so obvious. He hardly
troubled to cross-examine anybody
606
00:31:03,500 --> 00:31:05,426
He just letting Derek to
say just what he likes
607
00:31:05,998 --> 00:31:07,541
His Junior would soon like stop it
608
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,285
Sir John just sits there and does nothing
609
00:31:09,324 --> 00:31:11,455
I think we presume that
he knows what he is doing
610
00:31:11,530 --> 00:31:12,541
Can't you speak to him?
611
00:31:12,851 --> 00:31:14,720
Most inadvisable in the middle of a case
612
00:31:14,810 --> 00:31:16,325
You don't I shall
613
00:31:16,330 --> 00:31:18,800
Please,Lady Brasted, I beg
you not to do such thing
614
00:31:18,890 --> 00:31:21,410
Then try to make him see
we got to win this case
615
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,355
I'll do my best,please leave
everything to me
616
00:31:23,370 --> 00:31:25,584
I must get back into court now
617
00:31:30,151 --> 00:31:32,565
Now we come to what is really
the main issue in this case
618
00:31:32,740 --> 00:31:36,882
I think it is common ground
that Lord Brasted had said
619
00:31:36,930 --> 00:31:39,320
You were too covenant
to remain his secretary
620
00:31:39,861 --> 00:31:40,946
He did
621
00:31:40,990 --> 00:31:45,174
-And then did he make you an offer?
-He did
622
00:31:45,210 --> 00:31:48,270
This is very important take your
time and speak slowly
623
00:31:48,350 --> 00:31:49,654
And watch His Lordship says
624
00:31:49,670 --> 00:31:52,890
Now present.Was there anyone else
present or were you alone?
625
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:53,983
We were alone
626
00:31:54,220 --> 00:31:55,953
-There were no witnesses?
-None
627
00:31:56,010 --> 00:31:57,012
What did he say?
628
00:31:58,322 --> 00:32:00,247
He said that he was sorry
we should have to part
629
00:32:00,290 --> 00:32:02,207
But that in memory of our long association
630
00:32:05,523 --> 00:32:06,546
He would offer me
631
00:32:06,589 --> 00:32:09,136
a three-year assignment in West Africa
632
00:32:09,220 --> 00:32:10,903
Has Lord Brasted influence in West Africa?
633
00:32:10,950 --> 00:32:12,725
He has influence everywhere
634
00:32:15,155 --> 00:32:16,491
Did he offer you anything else?
635
00:32:16,591 --> 00:32:19,326
Yes he said that if I'd be
willing to forget all I'd heard
636
00:32:19,380 --> 00:32:23,386
He'd make me a present of 10,000 £
637
00:32:23,470 --> 00:32:24,794
How did you interpret that offer?
638
00:32:24,820 --> 00:32:26,710
As a bribe to shut my mouth
639
00:32:28,477 --> 00:32:30,510
-He can't say that
-Can't he?
640
00:32:30,550 --> 00:32:32,927
-Aren't you going stop him?
-No
641
00:32:33,264 --> 00:32:36,979
I think you'd better confine yourself
to telling us what Lord Brasted said
642
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:38,638
Your last question was quite irregular
643
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,134
I suppose that My Lord
644
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:44,714
Now I want to take you back to what
Lord Brasted said about that interview
645
00:32:46,990 --> 00:32:49,263
After speaking of your
appearance of agitation
646
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,741
I gather that there is
no dispute about that
647
00:32:54,527 --> 00:32:55,587
No
648
00:32:57,565 --> 00:32:58,803
Lord Brasted then said this
649
00:32:58,870 --> 00:33:01,791
Mr Waterhouse says that
I was a party of the fraud
650
00:33:01,820 --> 00:33:04,102
And if I did not pay him a sum of 20000 £
651
00:33:04,102 --> 00:33:06,428
he would communicate that
back to the Prime Minister
652
00:33:06,500 --> 00:33:09,400
Mr Waterhouse I ask you is that true?
653
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:10,830
It is a lie
654
00:33:10,910 --> 00:33:13,238
Did you say anything even
remotely resembling these words?
655
00:33:13,260 --> 00:33:15,358
-Never it is a lie
-Very well
656
00:33:18,023 --> 00:33:21,113
Now we know Count Mikla
had gone back to Prague
657
00:33:21,113 --> 00:33:23,293
What's the next thing you heard?
658
00:33:24,229 --> 00:33:25,573
That he had committed suicide
659
00:33:25,650 --> 00:33:28,053
He did not commit suicide he was murdered
660
00:33:28,150 --> 00:33:29,405
You cannot possibly know that
661
00:33:29,410 --> 00:33:31,738
My Lord I knew him
he was my oldest friend
662
00:33:31,849 --> 00:33:33,228
He could not possibly kill himself
663
00:33:33,310 --> 00:33:37,592
Wait,Sir John I notice you
are not objecting to all this?
664
00:33:37,620 --> 00:33:41,117
My Lord, I gather the witness
desires an opportunity
665
00:33:41,190 --> 00:33:43,789
saying anything unpleasant he
can think of against Lord Brasted
666
00:33:43,879 --> 00:33:45,551
I have no desire to stop it
667
00:33:45,650 --> 00:33:47,357
Sir John has no right to say that
668
00:33:47,390 --> 00:33:50,145
Mr Mainwaring you will please
keep your witness in order
669
00:33:51,282 --> 00:33:52,461
I have told you before
670
00:33:52,470 --> 00:33:55,319
You must only tell of the facts
within your own personal knowledge
671
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,319
We are not concerned with your opinions
672
00:33:58,020 --> 00:34:01,716
You had heard that Count
Mikla was dead.Go on
673
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,444
Now it's just one other thing
in going to the Prime Minister
674
00:34:06,450 --> 00:34:09,977
had you any object in view
other than doing your duty?
675
00:34:10,060 --> 00:34:13,230
-None
-Thank you,Waterhouse
676
00:34:15,530 --> 00:34:18,132
It is almost four o'clock I propose
that we adjourn till tomorrow
677
00:34:18,219 --> 00:34:22,692
Sir John,Mr Mainwaring this case
has of course been expedited
678
00:34:22,692 --> 00:34:24,219
because of its public importance
679
00:34:24,268 --> 00:34:25,874
But I must do something about my list
680
00:34:25,900 --> 00:34:28,377
How much longer are we likely to last?
681
00:34:28,410 --> 00:34:30,338
Mr Waterhouse is my only witness My Lord
682
00:34:30,380 --> 00:34:31,953
I finished my examination
683
00:34:32,039 --> 00:34:34,696
How long cross-examination
takes place is entirely up to Sir John
684
00:34:34,739 --> 00:34:37,152
-Sir John?
-My cross-examination will be very short,My Lord
685
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:38,646
Then we may hope to finish tomorrow
686
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,131
-Undoubtedly
-Thank you
687
00:34:40,218 --> 00:34:42,325
Then we will adjourn until 1030 tomorrow
688
00:34:57,961 --> 00:35:01,037
Sir John,Sir John thank goodness
I caught you
689
00:35:01,050 --> 00:35:02,554
Something extraordinary has to happen
690
00:35:02,570 --> 00:35:04,839
Something that will change
the whole course of this case
691
00:35:04,935 --> 00:35:06,984
-So what?
-Lord Brasted prefer to tell you himself
692
00:35:07,020 --> 00:35:09,446
He likes to come around and
see him this evening,if you would
693
00:35:09,533 --> 00:35:11,022
-Perhaps after dinner
-Very well
694
00:35:11,173 --> 00:35:13,640
-10 o'clock?
-I'll tell Lord brasted
695
00:35:37,330 --> 00:35:39,219
Sir John
696
00:35:45,090 --> 00:35:46,755
-Good Afternoon
-Good Afternoon,Sir John
697
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,563
I'm sorry to disturb you like this
but I had to speak to you
698
00:35:49,570 --> 00:35:50,982
We're losing our case aren't we?
699
00:35:52,430 --> 00:35:53,915
I think you are over pessimistic
700
00:35:53,990 --> 00:35:57,942
We are,I know it.First everything
was going so well
701
00:35:58,000 --> 00:35:59,497
Everything seemed to be on our side
702
00:36:00,020 --> 00:36:02,041
Then the whole atmosphere changed
703
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:03,665
You mustn't let that depress you
704
00:36:04,189 --> 00:36:05,552
That's why I am here for.Fighting
705
00:36:05,610 --> 00:36:07,146
But you can't do that
706
00:36:07,225 --> 00:36:08,311
I must
707
00:36:08,900 --> 00:36:11,168
You can't and I'll tell you why
708
00:36:11,210 --> 00:36:12,845
Because you don't believe in my husband
709
00:36:12,890 --> 00:36:15,765
You don't believe Derek
asked him for money
710
00:36:15,860 --> 00:36:17,774
You don't believe Count Mikla
committed suicide
711
00:36:17,790 --> 00:36:19,171
You don't believe anything he said
712
00:36:19,190 --> 00:36:20,959
That's ridiculous I always trust my client
713
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:22,975
Even when he's lying to you?
714
00:36:23,240 --> 00:36:25,725
If I knew he was lying I
wouldn't be acting for him
715
00:36:25,730 --> 00:36:27,063
If you suspected it ?
716
00:36:27,063 --> 00:36:29,832
I don't deal in suspicions
I'll deal in facts
717
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,660
That's should be in writing
718
00:36:32,720 --> 00:36:33,834
Why do you say that?
719
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,560
I think remember you saying what
you really needed to win this case
720
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,486
was a letter in Derek's handwriting
721
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:40,945
one that would incriminate him
722
00:36:40,970 --> 00:36:41,999
Yes
723
00:36:44,014 --> 00:36:45,277
Perhaps I could give it to you
724
00:36:45,290 --> 00:36:48,390
Is this a new development
Mr Mersel is talking about?
725
00:36:48,390 --> 00:36:49,658
Mersel knows nothing about it
726
00:36:49,690 --> 00:36:52,315
Nobody knows about
it except you and Derek
727
00:36:52,370 --> 00:36:53,432
And I can see it?
728
00:36:54,976 --> 00:36:57,232
-That depends
-On what ?
729
00:36:59,314 --> 00:37:01,164
If I gave it you to use in this case
730
00:37:01,330 --> 00:37:02,676
Who else would have to see it?
731
00:37:02,740 --> 00:37:04,480
That depends on how it is used
732
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,359
The judge certainly and the other side
733
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:09,496
Will my husband have to see it ?
734
00:37:09,510 --> 00:37:11,538
It would be difficult to
prevent it happening
735
00:37:12,934 --> 00:37:13,936
I suppose so
736
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:19,976
-Lady Brasted,is this a love letter?
-Yes
737
00:37:20,070 --> 00:37:23,736
-The only one?
-No, the only one that matters
738
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,542
Are you quite sure that
it really does matter?
739
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,928
It'll decide this case
740
00:37:29,260 --> 00:37:30,336
I see
741
00:37:31,180 --> 00:37:32,463
What do you suggest I do?
742
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,371
You mustn't ask me that
I'm acting for your husband
743
00:37:35,460 --> 00:37:38,062
In his interest it should
obviously be produced
744
00:37:40,210 --> 00:37:42,084
That puts me in a pretty
position,doesn't it?
745
00:37:42,130 --> 00:37:44,497
If the letter is read my husband must win
746
00:37:45,659 --> 00:37:48,258
If it isn't he probably lose
747
00:37:49,650 --> 00:37:50,862
I shall lose either way
748
00:37:50,930 --> 00:37:52,002
Wait a minute
749
00:37:52,031 --> 00:37:54,461
Your husband's asked me to go seeing
him tonight about some fresh information
750
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,138
Which Mersel says will prove conclusive
751
00:37:56,170 --> 00:37:58,985
If that is true then it may not be
necessary for you to say a word
752
00:37:59,590 --> 00:38:01,679
And if it isn't ?
753
00:38:01,733 --> 00:38:04,467
Then I'm afraid you must make up your
mind what you're going to do
754
00:38:06,391 --> 00:38:07,725
I see
755
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,345
Sir John may I ask you a personal question?
756
00:38:15,369 --> 00:38:17,067
Of course
757
00:38:17,129 --> 00:38:18,468
What do you really think of me?
758
00:38:18,468 --> 00:38:21,448
That's a difficult question to
answer on the spur of the moment
759
00:38:21,836 --> 00:38:22,843
Try
760
00:38:23,039 --> 00:38:26,463
Well I think you're beautiful
761
00:38:26,530 --> 00:38:29,477
intelligent,shrewd ,gracious and generous
762
00:38:30,738 --> 00:38:32,490
Would you say I had everything I wanted?
763
00:38:32,530 --> 00:38:35,217
Much as any of us can hope for,yes
764
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,669
Now should I tell you what
I was like when Arthur found me?
765
00:38:38,729 --> 00:38:40,418
If you wish
766
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:42,987
I was the eldest of a family of nine
767
00:38:43,050 --> 00:38:46,081
We lived in a slum my father drank
768
00:38:46,081 --> 00:38:48,331
My mother died when I was 12
769
00:38:48,350 --> 00:38:51,457
I learned about life the hard way
770
00:38:52,329 --> 00:38:54,452
Then about men the hard way too
771
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,399
I kept myself alive by taking what I wanted
772
00:38:57,429 --> 00:38:58,702
wherever I could find it
773
00:39:00,377 --> 00:39:02,099
I was pretty successful up to a point
774
00:39:02,170 --> 00:39:04,602
I made many friends
775
00:39:04,679 --> 00:39:05,997
None of them lasting one
776
00:39:07,514 --> 00:39:09,058
Arthur rescued me from all this
777
00:39:10,329 --> 00:39:11,712
Why are you telling me all this?
778
00:39:11,750 --> 00:39:13,790
I want you to understand
the man you are acting for
779
00:39:13,869 --> 00:39:16,773
I know you think he lives by taking chances
780
00:39:16,860 --> 00:39:18,870
Even that he's a bit of an adventurer
781
00:39:20,242 --> 00:39:23,188
Well by your standards perhaps he is
782
00:39:23,829 --> 00:39:25,626
But he's something more than that
783
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:27,800
Particularly to me
784
00:39:30,466 --> 00:39:31,619
May I ask you one question?
785
00:39:31,689 --> 00:39:34,984
-Yes
-It concerns this letter
786
00:39:35,029 --> 00:39:37,150
Derek doesn't mean that much to me
787
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,659
Do you think I'd allow
that letter to be read if he did?
788
00:39:41,348 --> 00:39:42,355
I suppose not
789
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,729
We shall see you tonight then
790
00:39:45,069 --> 00:39:47,325
-Yes tonight,good bye
-Good Bye
791
00:39:58,735 --> 00:40:00,586
-Hello John
-Hello,friend
792
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,751
I thought you'd be preferring to be loyal
preparing your cross examination
793
00:40:04,049 --> 00:40:05,571
Not likely what you need to pay for
794
00:40:05,629 --> 00:40:07,261
-Scotch?
-Only a double
795
00:40:07,349 --> 00:40:10,117
Large whisky to Mr Mainwaring please
796
00:40:10,210 --> 00:40:12,307
I suppose you got to pay for
another three tomorrow
797
00:40:12,319 --> 00:40:13,591
Well just the usual stuff
798
00:40:13,639 --> 00:40:15,337
BTW do you think we shall finish tomorrow?
799
00:40:15,359 --> 00:40:16,874
If you don't interrupt me too much
800
00:40:16,909 --> 00:40:18,314
-How's the daughter?
-Oh she's fine
801
00:40:19,853 --> 00:40:21,278
I bought her first pony last week
802
00:40:21,340 --> 00:40:24,622
If she rides as well as her the father
she'll probably break her neck
803
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:25,681
How right you are
804
00:40:25,749 --> 00:40:28,138
But why don't we see
each other sometimes?
805
00:40:28,183 --> 00:40:30,253
-I'd like to when?
-In a week
806
00:40:30,350 --> 00:40:31,844
Good I ask her
807
00:40:32,539 --> 00:40:34,781
Well I was going to pop down
a minute,you coming?
808
00:40:34,810 --> 00:40:37,090
No thanks I've got some work
to do tonight,haven't you?
809
00:40:37,140 --> 00:40:38,992
What do you think you
are paid for?
810
00:40:39,082 --> 00:40:40,098
Cheerio
811
00:40:43,086 --> 00:40:44,597
But it's just what Sir John asked for
812
00:40:44,670 --> 00:40:46,987
He said he wanted something
in Waterhouse's handwriting
813
00:40:47,029 --> 00:40:49,128
I think there's no doubt when
he reads this letter
814
00:40:49,180 --> 00:40:50,880
he will consider it conclusive evidence
815
00:40:50,969 --> 00:40:52,022
Sir John Dearing My Lord
816
00:40:52,099 --> 00:40:53,985
Good evening Sir John
how kind of you to come
817
00:40:54,009 --> 00:40:56,249
-Good evening,good evening Lady Brasted
-Good Evening
818
00:40:56,259 --> 00:40:57,638
-And Mersel
-Good Evening Sir John
819
00:40:57,690 --> 00:40:59,133
-Having a little drink?
-No thank you
820
00:40:59,278 --> 00:41:00,376
-Coffee?
-No,thank you
821
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:01,474
Well let's get to business
822
00:41:01,500 --> 00:41:03,084
You said you hoped for something
in Waterhouse's handwriting
823
00:41:03,094 --> 00:41:04,224
which would incriminate him
824
00:41:05,139 --> 00:41:07,244
-We've got it here
-Does Lady Brasted knows this?
825
00:41:07,319 --> 00:41:10,042
No the only thing will know anything
about is Mr Mersel and myself
826
00:41:11,784 --> 00:41:13,575
May I see it?
827
00:41:17,350 --> 00:41:18,899
How did this come into your position?
828
00:41:18,929 --> 00:41:20,666
We found it in this briefcase
829
00:41:20,709 --> 00:41:22,619
The case belong to Mikla
those are his initials
830
00:41:23,799 --> 00:41:25,804
-Where did this come from ?
-From Mikla's apartment
831
00:41:25,830 --> 00:41:26,918
How did you get it?
832
00:41:27,009 --> 00:41:28,813
Mikla's valet brought it
over at my request
833
00:41:28,879 --> 00:41:30,658
And this is the only
thing you found in it?
834
00:41:30,669 --> 00:41:32,889
Apart from one or two
unimportant papers,yes
835
00:41:32,889 --> 00:41:35,781
How about you tell me that everything
is examined scrupoulusly already
836
00:41:35,829 --> 00:41:36,842
I did
837
00:41:36,940 --> 00:41:38,452
Why didn't this come to light before?
838
00:41:38,519 --> 00:41:40,530
-Because it was hidden
-Hidden where?
839
00:41:40,599 --> 00:41:41,877
In the lining of the case
840
00:41:41,877 --> 00:41:43,056
How do you know that?
841
00:41:43,130 --> 00:41:44,249
I found it there myself
842
00:41:44,249 --> 00:41:45,336
You can see
843
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:46,445
the linings been stripped
844
00:41:46,489 --> 00:41:48,400
Who suggested stripping
the lining of the case?
845
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,385
-As a matter fact I think I did
-I see
846
00:41:52,721 --> 00:41:54,108
You know Waterhouse's handwriting?
847
00:41:54,109 --> 00:41:55,921
-Yes
-Did he write this ?
848
00:41:56,317 --> 00:41:57,890
I had no doubt about it
849
00:41:57,939 --> 00:42:00,716
But to be quite certain I had to
be examined by handwriting experts
850
00:42:00,749 --> 00:42:02,623
They haven't had time
to make a fullest test
851
00:42:02,700 --> 00:42:03,998
They're quite satisfied already
852
00:42:04,069 --> 00:42:05,982
Jury don't like experts
853
00:42:05,985 --> 00:42:07,066
We thought
854
00:42:07,090 --> 00:42:08,269
you found it quite conclusive
855
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,286
It is quite conclusive if
it is admitted I believe
856
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:11,987
You're not very encouraging
857
00:42:12,020 --> 00:42:14,148
Lord Brasted,I shouldn't be
helping you by sitting
858
00:42:14,210 --> 00:42:16,934
here and to tell you some points
of your case,those you know already
859
00:42:17,010 --> 00:42:18,087
I'm only pointing out
860
00:42:18,087 --> 00:42:19,848
how this letter may appear to our opponents
861
00:42:19,870 --> 00:42:21,562
If it's been discovered
862
00:42:21,570 --> 00:42:23,934
somewhat fortuitous at
the very last moment
863
00:42:24,838 --> 00:42:26,185
Written to Count Mikla he's dead
864
00:42:26,260 --> 00:42:28,963
Only one living person can say
whether it is genuine or not
865
00:42:29,020 --> 00:42:30,113
He denies it
866
00:42:30,140 --> 00:42:31,924
Against that you have what?
867
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:33,522
The evidence of the experts
868
00:42:35,010 --> 00:42:36,946
Doesn't look quite conclusive
like that,does it
869
00:42:37,100 --> 00:42:38,216
But if he admits it
870
00:42:38,823 --> 00:42:39,961
There's an end of the case
871
00:42:39,990 --> 00:42:41,053
He will admit it
872
00:42:41,053 --> 00:42:42,102
He must admit it
873
00:42:42,202 --> 00:42:43,211
We'll see
874
00:42:44,671 --> 00:42:45,717
-Is the valet here?
-Yes
875
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:49,206
-I think I ought to see him
-I'll call him
876
00:42:50,720 --> 00:42:51,977
Come in will you please
877
00:42:56,207 --> 00:42:57,742
-Good evening
-What is your name?
878
00:42:57,810 --> 00:42:58,905
Johan Mayer
879
00:42:59,347 --> 00:43:01,370
I understand you were
a valet to Count Mikla
880
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:09,937
Sir John
881
00:43:10,037 --> 00:43:12,672
A Lady Brasted is asking to see
you,she says it is very urgent
882
00:43:12,740 --> 00:43:14,772
-Where is she?
-In the consultation room
883
00:43:26,663 --> 00:43:29,044
-I'd like to speak to Sir John alone
-Very well
884
00:43:31,769 --> 00:43:33,926
Sir John I must talk to you
885
00:43:34,020 --> 00:43:36,488
-I have to be in court in a five minutes
-It won't take long
886
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:37,673
Would you like to sit down?
887
00:43:37,773 --> 00:43:39,160
Certainly
888
00:43:40,999 --> 00:43:42,432
I've been awake all night thinking
889
00:43:43,952 --> 00:43:45,684
That letter that my husband found
890
00:43:46,444 --> 00:43:48,163
Suppose Derek denies writing it?
891
00:43:49,125 --> 00:43:50,215
Do you think he will?
892
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,349
I don't know suppose he does
893
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,168
Then it's your husband's
word against his
894
00:43:56,427 --> 00:43:57,528
The handwriting expert?
895
00:43:57,540 --> 00:43:58,979
Juries don't like experts
896
00:43:59,479 --> 00:44:01,075
Experts have to qualify themselves
897
00:44:04,345 --> 00:44:06,405
You don't believe in that
letter yourself,do you?
898
00:44:06,460 --> 00:44:08,626
It's not the matter what
I believe what is believed
899
00:44:08,690 --> 00:44:10,394
It's about the jury thinks is sound
900
00:44:13,092 --> 00:44:15,589
At least you can't have any
doubts about this one
901
00:44:17,885 --> 00:44:19,334
Are you sure you want me to read it?
902
00:44:38,262 --> 00:44:40,810
Well,will that convince you?
903
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:42,766
Yes
904
00:44:47,767 --> 00:44:49,329
Do you think it'll convince the jury?
905
00:44:50,777 --> 00:44:51,884
Undoubtedly
906
00:44:53,788 --> 00:44:55,246
Very well,we may well see
907
00:44:58,620 --> 00:44:59,987
May I see the others now please?
908
00:45:02,240 --> 00:45:03,347
When were these written?
909
00:45:03,609 --> 00:45:04,799
During the past few months
910
00:45:05,382 --> 00:45:08,269
Did you know that Waterhouse was
trying to get money from your husband?
911
00:45:08,310 --> 00:45:11,362
-Not exactly
-What does that mean?
912
00:45:11,420 --> 00:45:14,579
He asked me several times
to leave Arthur and go away with me
913
00:45:14,670 --> 00:45:17,250
To put him off I told him we
need to money for this
914
00:45:17,330 --> 00:45:20,384
He told me he knew the way
of getting sold of something
915
00:45:20,460 --> 00:45:22,868
And the dream will come to this
916
00:45:22,950 --> 00:45:24,004
I see
917
00:45:24,004 --> 00:45:25,829
And your husband know
that you show me this?
918
00:45:25,830 --> 00:45:26,839
No
919
00:45:26,930 --> 00:45:29,051
-I'm afraid you have to
-Why?
920
00:45:29,149 --> 00:45:31,845
I'm acting for him I can't introduce
a piece of evidence like this
921
00:45:31,870 --> 00:45:32,960
without his authority
922
00:45:33,369 --> 00:45:35,787
He will hear it in court isn't that enough?
923
00:45:35,959 --> 00:45:36,967
No
924
00:45:40,556 --> 00:45:44,590
Very well Mersel is outside
I'll get him to call him
925
00:45:45,945 --> 00:45:48,509
Don't you feel about revealing so much
926
00:45:49,282 --> 00:45:50,681
I thought it over
927
00:45:56,533 --> 00:45:58,679
Mr Mersel please ask Lord
Brasted to come here quick
928
00:45:58,700 --> 00:46:00,883
I'll get him he's just gone into court
929
00:46:06,893 --> 00:46:08,038
You are a very brave woman
930
00:46:08,447 --> 00:46:09,535
I'll leave you alone now
931
00:46:09,630 --> 00:46:10,983
if you decide to go ahead
932
00:46:10,983 --> 00:46:12,999
give this letter to Mersel he'll
know what to do
933
00:46:16,227 --> 00:46:17,732
-Good morning Sir John
-Good morning
934
00:46:19,250 --> 00:46:20,596
-You wanted to see me
-Yes
935
00:46:20,944 --> 00:46:21,950
Please shut the door
936
00:46:31,580 --> 00:46:32,877
-Good Morning,Ben
-Good Morning
937
00:46:32,953 --> 00:46:34,682
Oddly enough Shaft come down next over the week
938
00:46:34,740 --> 00:46:35,814
Good we report that
939
00:46:35,860 --> 00:46:36,920
-Good Morning
-Good Morning
940
00:46:36,990 --> 00:46:38,320
-Lovely scotch?
-Everybody is off
941
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:39,721
Silence
942
00:46:49,700 --> 00:46:53,005
Brasted against Waterhouse are heard
943
00:46:56,502 --> 00:46:59,046
From a question one of you members
addressed to me last night
944
00:46:59,140 --> 00:47:00,453
it has occurred to me
945
00:47:00,500 --> 00:47:02,981
that there may be some doubts
in the mind of some of you
946
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,224
as the precise issue you are trying
947
00:47:05,289 --> 00:47:06,464
I will tell you
948
00:47:07,817 --> 00:47:10,010
Lord Brasted is claiming damages for
949
00:47:10,089 --> 00:47:13,061
the libel contained in Mr Waterhouse's
letter to the prime minister
950
00:47:13,130 --> 00:47:14,421
charging him with fraud
951
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:18,430
Now Mr Waterhouse says he believed
the charge to be true
952
00:47:18,430 --> 00:47:20,178
and that it was his duty
953
00:47:20,270 --> 00:47:21,714
to write such a letter
954
00:47:22,361 --> 00:47:23,408
in other words
955
00:47:23,599 --> 00:47:24,662
he claims privilege
956
00:47:24,662 --> 00:47:26,776
now the plaintiff's answer to that
957
00:47:26,830 --> 00:47:28,998
is that he was actuated by malice
958
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,049
and the malice suggested is
959
00:47:31,059 --> 00:47:34,096
is Mr Waterhouse's endeavour
to obtain 20,000 £
960
00:47:34,100 --> 00:47:35,442
by threats
961
00:47:35,442 --> 00:47:38,899
now that is the real issue
you have to decide
962
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:42,062
namely who is telling the truth
963
00:47:42,109 --> 00:47:44,864
as to what happened at
interview on March 22nd
964
00:47:44,959 --> 00:47:49,223
-Does that answer your question?
-Yes thank you My Lord
965
00:47:50,701 --> 00:47:51,717
Yes,Sir John
966
00:47:53,062 --> 00:47:55,560
Will Mr Waterhouse please
go back into the box
967
00:48:01,157 --> 00:48:04,218
On the 22nd of March the day of
your interview with Lord Brasted
968
00:48:04,240 --> 00:48:05,900
Had you any claim upon him
969
00:48:05,990 --> 00:48:08,395
that would possibly justify your
asking him for 20,000£ ?
970
00:48:08,430 --> 00:48:09,479
None
971
00:48:10,801 --> 00:48:12,183
So if you did ask him for 20000 £
972
00:48:12,283 --> 00:48:14,279
it must have been called what
we call black mail
973
00:48:14,279 --> 00:48:15,787
I never asked him for money
974
00:48:15,860 --> 00:48:17,437
-It's a lie
-Quite
975
00:48:18,111 --> 00:48:19,967
Either Lord Brasted is lying or you
976
00:48:20,472 --> 00:48:21,522
Lord Brasted is lying
977
00:48:21,620 --> 00:48:24,374
One of you is lying, we
have to find out which
978
00:48:24,410 --> 00:48:26,351
I think most of us know that already
979
00:48:28,899 --> 00:48:30,488
I understand that in the fraud
980
00:48:30,570 --> 00:48:31,969
which Count Mikla described to you
981
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:34,641
each one of the directors of International
Bank of Prague
982
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:35,858
was implicated
983
00:48:35,858 --> 00:48:36,866
Yes
984
00:48:36,966 --> 00:48:38,493
As far you've been able to discover
985
00:48:38,510 --> 00:48:39,887
does each one of these gentlemen
986
00:48:39,887 --> 00:48:42,063
enjoy the highest reputation
in his own country?
987
00:48:42,099 --> 00:48:43,245
Could he possibly know that?
988
00:48:43,345 --> 00:48:44,345
Please
989
00:48:44,982 --> 00:48:47,068
You've made the most exhaustive
enquiry,fair enough?
990
00:48:47,168 --> 00:48:48,194
Yes
991
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:49,662
You spent weeks in Prague
992
00:48:49,710 --> 00:48:51,966
broadly in the essence in order to find out
993
00:48:52,010 --> 00:48:53,492
as far as you could against them
994
00:48:53,530 --> 00:48:55,439
I have made inquiries
995
00:48:56,220 --> 00:48:58,594
Will you tell me know does
each of these gentlemen
996
00:48:58,610 --> 00:49:01,408
as far you know they're the
highest pass for reputation
997
00:49:01,470 --> 00:49:04,115
I know nothing again
998
00:49:04,330 --> 00:49:06,393
I must grant the admission but I take it
999
00:49:07,722 --> 00:49:10,199
Now you've seen each of these
gentlemen in the witness box
1000
00:49:10,199 --> 00:49:11,482
Yes
1001
00:49:11,510 --> 00:49:12,726
You heard them swear
1002
00:49:12,726 --> 00:49:14,994
that not only there were no
truth in the charge of fraud
1003
00:49:15,237 --> 00:49:16,632
There were no shadow of suspicion
1004
00:49:16,732 --> 00:49:18,461
upon which such a charge could be based
1005
00:49:18,550 --> 00:49:19,777
I have
1006
00:49:20,216 --> 00:49:21,355
Your reason ?
1007
00:49:21,732 --> 00:49:23,167
No,I believe they are lying
1008
00:49:23,220 --> 00:49:26,260
Oh our list of liars seems to be increasing
1009
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:29,989
First Lord Brasted then all
the directors of the bank
1010
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,258
Yes, you can be allowed
to express his view
1011
00:49:33,946 --> 00:49:36,728
Mr Mainwaring I will cross examine
you later if you so desire
1012
00:49:36,740 --> 00:49:40,411
-But one at a time
-Mr Mainwaring,please don't interrupt
1013
00:49:40,490 --> 00:49:41,537
And that's quite clear
1014
00:49:42,020 --> 00:49:44,298
-Perfectly
-You'd better get these to Sir John right away
1015
00:49:44,803 --> 00:49:45,869
Yes
1016
00:49:50,140 --> 00:49:52,615
-Aren't you coming into court?
-No..
1017
00:49:52,810 --> 00:49:54,614
I'd rather stay here if you don't mind
1018
00:49:55,183 --> 00:49:56,200
Very well
1019
00:50:02,872 --> 00:50:04,975
You have been to Prague
yourself making an inquiry?
1020
00:50:05,020 --> 00:50:06,115
Yes
1021
00:50:06,115 --> 00:50:07,675
Have you been afforded every facility
1022
00:50:07,710 --> 00:50:10,524
and examined every book or
document you wished?
1023
00:50:10,611 --> 00:50:11,684
Yes
1024
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:15,373
And after all that can you think of a name
of any human being except Count Mikla
1025
00:50:15,380 --> 00:50:18,319
who ever suggest you that
the scheme was a swindle?
1026
00:50:18,690 --> 00:50:19,754
No
1027
00:50:19,860 --> 00:50:21,842
And you still persist in your allegations
1028
00:50:21,850 --> 00:50:24,147
that Lord Brasted was part in your fraud
1029
00:50:24,230 --> 00:50:27,326
Yes, that is why he tried to
bribe me with 10000 £
1030
00:50:28,899 --> 00:50:31,655
Then it comes to this the whole case
stand or fall on one question
1031
00:50:31,730 --> 00:50:33,178
who is telling the truth
1032
00:50:33,260 --> 00:50:34,636
You or Lord Brasted
1033
00:50:34,641 --> 00:50:35,685
Yes
1034
00:50:35,770 --> 00:50:37,171
Then I must deal solely with that
1035
00:50:41,583 --> 00:50:44,559
Mr Waterhouse on the date of
your interview with Lord Brasted
1036
00:50:44,650 --> 00:50:47,384
where you're not badly in need of money?
1037
00:50:47,430 --> 00:50:49,220
Not more than everybody is
1038
00:50:49,819 --> 00:50:50,988
What do you mean by that?
1039
00:50:51,795 --> 00:50:53,112
Everybody is hard up these days
1040
00:50:53,170 --> 00:50:55,788
Was there another special
reason in your case?
1041
00:50:56,884 --> 00:50:57,914
No
1042
00:50:59,110 --> 00:51:00,544
On that date
1043
00:51:00,630 --> 00:51:03,486
were you're not madly in
love with the Lady ?
1044
00:51:03,510 --> 00:51:05,186
Lord,I protest most strongly
1045
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:06,397
Please be quiet,Mr Mainwaring
1046
00:51:07,489 --> 00:51:09,896
Sir John,do you persist in that question?
1047
00:51:11,254 --> 00:51:12,338
I shall refuse to answer
1048
00:51:12,430 --> 00:51:13,878
You will do exactly as you are told
1049
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,888
Lord,sometime in this case that
question must be answered
1050
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:20,645
If the witness desires to postpone
that kind I do not object
1051
00:51:20,730 --> 00:51:22,186
My Lord may I say something?
1052
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:23,338
You had better not
1053
00:51:23,896 --> 00:51:25,711
The question is not persisted
1054
00:51:25,726 --> 00:51:26,756
It it should arise again
1055
00:51:26,780 --> 00:51:28,806
you'll have every opportunity
of being heard
1056
00:51:29,739 --> 00:51:31,426
At the time you came to see Lord Brasted
1057
00:51:31,460 --> 00:51:32,517
Where were you living?
1058
00:51:33,020 --> 00:51:34,028
In my flat
1059
00:51:34,348 --> 00:51:35,888
-Quite sure?
-Quite sure
1060
00:51:35,910 --> 00:51:38,315
-You won't go into some more detail?
-No
1061
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:41,965
-Are you sure?
-Oh I remember now ..
1062
00:51:42,020 --> 00:51:44,583
I stayed there for a fortnight
while my flat being redecorated
1063
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:45,735
And you forgotten it?
1064
00:51:46,052 --> 00:51:47,815
-Is it important?
-Very
1065
00:51:48,644 --> 00:51:51,197
I asked you just now if on that date
you were short of money?
1066
00:51:52,330 --> 00:51:54,200
Was Count Mikla also short of money?
1067
00:51:54,807 --> 00:51:55,831
Certainly not
1068
00:51:55,910 --> 00:51:58,057
You know a man named Johan Meyer?
1069
00:51:58,637 --> 00:51:59,695
No
1070
00:52:00,101 --> 00:52:01,522
Will Johan Meyer please stand up?
1071
00:52:03,853 --> 00:52:04,912
Do you know that man?
1072
00:52:06,293 --> 00:52:08,530
Yes I believe he was Stepan I mean
1073
00:52:08,549 --> 00:52:09,683
Count Mikla's servant
1074
00:52:09,683 --> 00:52:11,305
I noticed you called him Stepan
1075
00:52:11,330 --> 00:52:13,280
Once he was a very intimate friend of yours
1076
00:52:13,848 --> 00:52:14,907
He was
1077
00:52:14,979 --> 00:52:17,325
A sort of friend whom you would
be willing to lend money?
1078
00:52:17,325 --> 00:52:18,407
Yes
1079
00:52:19,205 --> 00:52:21,219
Did that man come to borrow
money for Count Mikla?
1080
00:52:21,319 --> 00:52:22,357
Never
1081
00:52:22,369 --> 00:52:24,860
Did that man come to you while
you stayed at the Savoy Hotel?
1082
00:52:24,869 --> 00:52:26,547
To borrow money to pay for his own hotel?
1083
00:52:26,609 --> 00:52:28,267
-Oh that
-Then he did
1084
00:52:28,267 --> 00:52:30,830
Yes but temporary the banks were shut
1085
00:52:30,924 --> 00:52:31,977
You had forgotten it?
1086
00:52:32,733 --> 00:52:33,768
My Lord
1087
00:52:33,868 --> 00:52:36,278
Did Count Mikla ask you for money?
1088
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:38,535
Yes My Lord but only as a friend
1089
00:52:39,580 --> 00:52:40,633
That's all you were asked
1090
00:52:41,381 --> 00:52:44,583
Did you ever write to Count Mikla telling
you were in dispute with Lord Brasted?
1091
00:52:44,669 --> 00:52:45,741
I did not
1092
00:52:45,741 --> 00:52:47,039
Why not? Was he not interested?
1093
00:52:47,119 --> 00:52:48,142
He'd returned to Prague
1094
00:52:48,180 --> 00:52:49,557
Did you write to him in Prague ?
1095
00:52:49,657 --> 00:52:50,718
No
1096
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:51,856
Give me that dispatch case
1097
00:52:53,881 --> 00:52:55,217
Have you ever seen this before?
1098
00:52:55,300 --> 00:52:56,716
The usher will show you if you like
1099
00:52:56,770 --> 00:52:58,519
You needn't trouble I know it quite well
1100
00:52:58,589 --> 00:53:00,074
Was it Count Mikla's dispatch case?
1101
00:53:00,110 --> 00:53:01,135
Yes
1102
00:53:01,135 --> 00:53:02,578
-What did he use it for?
-His papers
1103
00:53:02,670 --> 00:53:04,044
-Important?
-Yes
1104
00:53:04,044 --> 00:53:06,081
Thank you may sit down now
1105
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:09,700
Now you please the papers and a
pen,the usher will give it to you
1106
00:53:09,740 --> 00:53:12,522
Usher give the witness a
piece of paper and a pen
1107
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:13,601
I have my own pen
1108
00:53:13,601 --> 00:53:14,793
That will be better
1109
00:53:14,869 --> 00:53:17,440
Now will you please write down
these words as I read them
1110
00:53:17,499 --> 00:53:18,789
In your ordinary hand writing
1111
00:53:18,809 --> 00:53:22,215
I have seen B today
1112
00:53:25,515 --> 00:53:28,539
So far he has only offered 10,000
1113
00:53:30,393 --> 00:53:31,407
Hang on
1114
00:53:33,279 --> 00:53:34,951
He will come to our figure
1115
00:53:37,331 --> 00:53:38,434
You please give it back
1116
00:53:40,519 --> 00:53:41,593
Thank you
1117
00:53:43,085 --> 00:53:44,251
Lords read this demand
1118
00:53:44,679 --> 00:53:46,283
Lords,what is this supposed to be?
1119
00:53:46,581 --> 00:53:47,774
At the moment I have no idea
1120
00:53:47,870 --> 00:53:49,027
You will see it in a minute
1121
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:50,630
Now you take that piece of paper back
1122
00:53:52,915 --> 00:53:56,063
Now will you please write
to the Count Dear Mikla
1123
00:53:56,070 --> 00:53:57,794
-My Lord
-Don't interrupt
1124
00:53:57,870 --> 00:54:00,051
Mr Mainwaring this is not the
moment for interruptions
1125
00:54:00,970 --> 00:54:02,699
-Have you written that?
-Yes
1126
00:54:04,030 --> 00:54:05,722
Now to the bottom add these words
1127
00:54:05,740 --> 00:54:08,270
Yours ever DW
1128
00:54:09,419 --> 00:54:10,946
And date it March the 22nd
1129
00:54:12,922 --> 00:54:14,484
Now you please hand it to his Lordship
1130
00:54:24,129 --> 00:54:26,538
Sir John would it now be
convenient to tell the jury
1131
00:54:26,620 --> 00:54:28,285
what is the purpose of this document?
1132
00:54:28,350 --> 00:54:31,550
At the moment,My Lord,only as an
example of the witnesses hand writing
1133
00:54:31,831 --> 00:54:32,928
Oh is that all?
1134
00:54:35,685 --> 00:54:38,772
Mr Waterhouse, if you've written
such a letter to Count Mikla
1135
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:42,008
it would have a very sinister
significance will it not?
1136
00:54:43,039 --> 00:54:44,201
I never wrote such a letter
1137
00:54:44,270 --> 00:54:45,428
I didn't ask you that
1138
00:54:45,510 --> 00:54:46,636
but if you had ?
1139
00:54:46,636 --> 00:54:48,616
-I don't see why
-Don't you?
1140
00:54:50,162 --> 00:54:51,191
Listen to it
1141
00:54:52,205 --> 00:54:56,348
I have seen B today B might stand
for Lord Brasted,might it not?
1142
00:54:56,370 --> 00:55:00,420
Today the 22nd of March the date of
your interview with Lord Brasted
1143
00:55:00,490 --> 00:55:03,397
At the moment he is only offered 10000 £
1144
00:55:03,941 --> 00:55:07,505
10000 £ is the precise amount that you
swore Lord Brasted had offered you
1145
00:55:08,375 --> 00:55:12,432
Hang on Count Mikla was in Prague away
1146
00:55:14,077 --> 00:55:15,644
He will come to our figure
1147
00:55:16,170 --> 00:55:18,940
Lord Brasted is sworn that
you asked him for 20000 £
1148
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:20,672
That is utterly ridiculous
1149
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:22,998
Perhaps did you have written such a letter?
1150
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:26,446
Might it not have born are
very sinister interpretation
1151
00:55:27,700 --> 00:55:28,744
No,My Lord
1152
00:55:29,158 --> 00:55:33,140
Mr Waterhouse,Sir John is only
putting to you a hypothetical case
1153
00:55:33,220 --> 00:55:34,577
If you had written
1154
00:55:34,620 --> 00:55:36,820
such a letter might it not bear a very
1155
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:38,223
sinister interpretation?
1156
00:55:38,539 --> 00:55:39,934
Perhaps but I did not write it
1157
00:55:40,010 --> 00:55:41,021
Didn't you?
1158
00:55:41,974 --> 00:55:47,043
Mr Waterhouse did you not write
a letter in precisely those terms
1159
00:55:47,110 --> 00:55:49,340
-to Count Mikla?
-No
1160
00:55:51,276 --> 00:55:52,479
Look at that
1161
00:55:52,540 --> 00:55:56,121
-My lord what is this?
-Perhaps Mr Waterhouse would tell us
1162
00:55:58,230 --> 00:55:59,312
What is this supposed to be
1163
00:55:59,914 --> 00:56:01,954
If you ask me your letter to Count Mikla
1164
00:56:03,016 --> 00:56:05,111
It is a lie I never wrote such a letter
1165
00:56:05,140 --> 00:56:06,833
My Lord I must protest against this
1166
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:08,614
Sir John produce a piece of paper
1167
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:10,720
I have never seen and
which the witness says
1168
00:56:10,740 --> 00:56:11,852
is not in his hand writing
1169
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:12,978
Give it to me
1170
00:56:19,681 --> 00:56:21,627
Perhaps you had better see
this Mr Mainwaring
1171
00:56:21,670 --> 00:56:23,300
I tell you I'd never wrote such a letter
1172
00:56:23,310 --> 00:56:24,403
Please be quiet
1173
00:56:24,933 --> 00:56:26,737
How do you propose to use this,Sir John?
1174
00:56:26,740 --> 00:56:29,790
My Lord I propose to prove this is
the hand writing of the witness
1175
00:56:30,141 --> 00:56:32,281
This is monstrous we haven't
even seen this document
1176
00:56:32,281 --> 00:56:33,399
Of course not
1177
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:35,470
It only came into our hands last night
1178
00:56:35,550 --> 00:56:38,621
And how do you propose to prove
that this is the witness handwriting?
1179
00:56:39,063 --> 00:56:41,956
By the usual method My Lord
I'm asking to call Mrs Spinner
1180
00:56:42,010 --> 00:56:43,648
-The handwriting expert
-Excellent
1181
00:56:43,710 --> 00:56:46,858
And I ask the jury to compare the writing
1182
00:56:46,930 --> 00:56:49,454
with what the witness wrote in the
witness box five minutes ago
1183
00:57:05,923 --> 00:57:07,816
-Where is the telephone?
-Just over there miss
1184
00:57:07,860 --> 00:57:08,923
Oh,thanks
1185
00:57:08,927 --> 00:57:10,782
I'll be putting your luggage
on the bus,Miss
1186
00:57:29,503 --> 00:57:31,788
Hello may I speak to Mr Waterhouse please
1187
00:57:31,820 --> 00:57:33,447
Mr Waterhouse isn't in
1188
00:57:35,322 --> 00:57:38,580
Now he will be late I'd say
1189
00:57:40,450 --> 00:57:41,952
Is there any message?
1190
00:57:44,795 --> 00:57:46,031
All right I'll tell him
1191
00:57:50,180 --> 00:57:52,299
Evening news,please
1192
00:57:53,029 --> 00:57:54,446
Thank you
1193
00:58:04,730 --> 00:58:06,928
On the 22nd March you were
taken to Savoy Hotel not?
1194
00:58:07,877 --> 00:58:08,881
You know I wasn't
1195
00:58:08,950 --> 00:58:11,241
Did you write this letter to
Count Mikla from the hotel?
1196
00:58:11,450 --> 00:58:14,951
No I did not My Lord this
letter is a forgery
1197
00:58:15,020 --> 00:58:16,442
You must say that mustn't you?
1198
00:58:16,467 --> 00:58:19,363
If it is your letter you stand convicted
of having lied to us,you know
1199
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:21,304
It is not my letter,it is his letter
1200
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:22,857
-Forged by Lord Brasted?
-Yes
1201
00:58:24,078 --> 00:58:25,558
And how do you expect it's been found
1202
00:58:25,558 --> 00:58:27,652
by my solicitor on Count
Mikla's dispatch case?
1203
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:29,181
When this is brought back from Prague
1204
00:58:29,190 --> 00:58:32,965
My lord, may we see those two letters?
1205
00:58:33,010 --> 00:58:35,211
-Certainly
-Members of the jury.
1206
00:58:35,340 --> 00:58:38,037
I never wrote this letter I could
not have written such a letter
1207
00:58:38,100 --> 00:58:39,504
And all you can say it is a forgery
1208
00:58:39,530 --> 00:58:40,555
It is a forgery
1209
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:41,725
And forged by Lord Brasted
1210
00:58:41,820 --> 00:58:44,218
Why not? He'd committed murder
why shouldn't he stop there
1211
00:58:44,230 --> 00:58:45,906
Quiet please
1212
00:58:45,990 --> 00:58:51,529
-My Lord, may I ask a question?
-Of course,what is it?
1213
00:58:52,226 --> 00:58:54,167
This letter is addressed Dear Mikla
1214
00:58:54,210 --> 00:58:58,022
We understand the witness
was a close friend of Count Mikla
1215
00:58:58,070 --> 00:58:59,420
He called him Stepan
1216
00:58:59,470 --> 00:59:02,464
This morning another letter was read to us
1217
00:59:02,490 --> 00:59:04,098
It began dear Stefan
1218
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:06,770
Why does this letter begin dear Mikla?
1219
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:08,653
He's right I've never written
to him like that
1220
00:59:08,700 --> 00:59:10,468
I got letters I wrote to
him scores of them
1221
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:11,495
Give them to me
1222
00:59:13,956 --> 00:59:19,761
Look at these Dear Stepan ,Dear Stepan
I have never called him Mikla in my life
1223
00:59:20,842 --> 00:59:21,916
I see your point
1224
00:59:22,010 --> 00:59:23,343
A rather good one
1225
00:59:23,657 --> 00:59:26,268
I don't believe those two letters
are the same hand writing
1226
00:59:26,330 --> 00:59:29,251
Members of the jury it is
of the utmost importance
1227
00:59:29,350 --> 00:59:30,488
That you should form no
1228
00:59:30,550 --> 00:59:32,218
opinion on this case until the evidence
1229
00:59:32,220 --> 00:59:33,244
is completed
1230
00:59:33,344 --> 00:59:34,677
We shall have to use that letter
1231
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:35,722
Perhaps Lord Brasted by ..
1232
00:59:35,810 --> 00:59:38,855
-Can't you see only in the necessity?
-See for yourself,they don't believe it
1233
00:59:38,884 --> 00:59:40,730
We should use them now
1234
00:59:40,860 --> 00:59:42,433
-All right
-Fetch Lady Brasted
1235
00:59:42,433 --> 00:59:44,289
No no no she doesn't wish
to come into court
1236
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:46,398
Unless she isn't in court I
shan't use the letter
1237
00:59:46,530 --> 00:59:47,605
Hurry
1238
00:59:51,217 --> 00:59:52,896
My Lord,as you have already heard
1239
00:59:59,025 --> 01:00:00,232
-Lady Brasted
-Yes
1240
01:00:00,232 --> 01:00:01,804
Sir John wants you in court immediately
1241
01:00:01,819 --> 01:00:02,850
Must I come?
1242
01:00:02,850 --> 01:00:04,488
If you want him to use your letter,yes
1243
01:00:05,229 --> 01:00:07,169
-Going badly?
-I'm afraid so
1244
01:00:07,259 --> 01:00:10,292
Then let him use it I don't
want to go into court
1245
01:00:10,370 --> 01:00:11,676
He won't use it unless you do
1246
01:00:15,848 --> 01:00:17,419
All right,I'll come
1247
01:00:26,818 --> 01:00:29,101
And you still maintain that
you never wrote that letter
1248
01:00:29,110 --> 01:00:30,152
Yes
1249
01:00:34,139 --> 01:00:38,109
Mr Waterhouse you are forcing me
to adopt the most distasteful talk
1250
01:00:40,174 --> 01:00:41,991
I shall have to bring a
lady into this case
1251
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:43,940
You wish me to do that?
1252
01:00:46,558 --> 01:00:48,126
-I don't know what you mean
-Don't you?
1253
01:00:50,569 --> 01:00:53,348
I understand that you deny having
written that letter to Count Mikla
1254
01:00:53,380 --> 01:00:54,472
I do
1255
01:00:54,572 --> 01:00:56,650
-And he is dead
-Yes
1256
01:00:56,689 --> 01:00:59,483
Have you written to
precisely similar letter
1257
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:00,572
to someone who is alive
1258
01:01:00,669 --> 01:01:02,433
and how at this moment sitting in the court
1259
01:01:02,450 --> 01:01:03,498
Certainly not
1260
01:01:03,585 --> 01:01:05,020
Did you write it to Lady Brasted?
1261
01:01:07,075 --> 01:01:08,104
Never
1262
01:01:08,119 --> 01:01:09,435
Think well before you answer
1263
01:01:10,784 --> 01:01:12,345
A short time ago I asked you if you are
1264
01:01:12,369 --> 01:01:13,548
very much in love
1265
01:01:14,544 --> 01:01:16,194
-Do you remember?
-Yes
1266
01:01:18,113 --> 01:01:19,617
Were you in love with Lady Brasted?
1267
01:01:19,660 --> 01:01:21,478
My Lord,what possible is
this issue directed
1268
01:01:21,530 --> 01:01:23,300
Is this absolutely necessary Sir John?
1269
01:01:23,389 --> 01:01:26,852
Absolutely necessary,My Lord and I
do not wish to be interrupted
1270
01:01:26,900 --> 01:01:29,613
Very well I shall not reject the question
1271
01:01:29,710 --> 01:01:32,075
Do you hear? Will you please answer
1272
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:34,838
Are you in love with Lady Brasted?
1273
01:01:34,919 --> 01:01:36,920
No I'm not
1274
01:01:38,148 --> 01:01:39,401
Were you ever in love with her?
1275
01:01:41,162 --> 01:01:42,223
Well
1276
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:45,335
I was very fond of Lady Brasted
1277
01:01:45,340 --> 01:01:47,133
Were you ever in love with Lady Brasted?
1278
01:01:47,133 --> 01:01:48,955
I was very fond of Lady Brasted
1279
01:01:49,010 --> 01:01:51,004
Isn't that enough for you,Sir John?
1280
01:01:51,050 --> 01:01:52,184
No My Lord it is not
1281
01:01:54,378 --> 01:01:55,383
Mr Waterhouse
1282
01:01:55,450 --> 01:01:57,529
Lady Brasted is sitting in front of us now
1283
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:00,486
You can imagine with the
cross-examination means to her
1284
01:02:00,540 --> 01:02:03,189
I want you to give the jury
your opinion of her
1285
01:02:03,210 --> 01:02:06,412
Is your Lady whose word you
would unhesitatingly accept
1286
01:02:06,460 --> 01:02:08,968
-Yes
-Not a liar like her husband?
1287
01:02:08,980 --> 01:02:10,345
No
1288
01:02:10,345 --> 01:02:12,984
Did you ask her to leave her husband
and go away with you?
1289
01:02:14,329 --> 01:02:15,405
Never
1290
01:02:15,430 --> 01:02:16,491
Be seated
1291
01:02:16,491 --> 01:02:19,754
Did you tell her although you
had no money at the time
1292
01:02:19,780 --> 01:02:21,603
You were in a position to get a great deal
1293
01:02:21,620 --> 01:02:25,601
My Lord,this is monstrous my friendship with
Lady Brasted was before her marriage
1294
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:27,390
My Lord Lady Brasted has given evidence
1295
01:02:27,390 --> 01:02:28,520
She said no world of this
1296
01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:29,545
I was surprised
1297
01:02:29,570 --> 01:02:31,098
she kept silent as long as possible
1298
01:02:34,786 --> 01:02:37,144
Did you not only say you will
get the money,Mr Waterhouse
1299
01:02:37,180 --> 01:02:39,681
-but write it?
-No
1300
01:02:40,938 --> 01:02:43,787
Now will you take these band of
original letters written in your hand
1301
01:02:43,790 --> 01:02:45,492
You needn't trouble to interrupt
1302
01:02:45,570 --> 01:02:47,586
You should see them all in due course
1303
01:02:49,129 --> 01:02:51,041
Are all those letters in your
own hand writing?
1304
01:02:53,834 --> 01:02:54,913
Yes they are
1305
01:02:54,940 --> 01:02:57,451
-There is no doubt about them?
-None
1306
01:02:57,530 --> 01:03:00,298
-They are not forgeries
-No
1307
01:03:01,549 --> 01:03:03,291
And they are all written to Lady Brasted?
1308
01:03:05,342 --> 01:03:06,786
Yes before her marriage
1309
01:03:07,350 --> 01:03:08,369
Now we come to that
1310
01:03:08,369 --> 01:03:09,674
Do you look at the first sample?
1311
01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:11,581
Is there any date?
1312
01:03:12,695 --> 01:03:13,781
No
1313
01:03:13,881 --> 01:03:15,178
And how does it begin?
1314
01:03:16,792 --> 01:03:18,015
My darling Helen
1315
01:03:18,015 --> 01:03:20,067
-And it is not dated?
-No
1316
01:03:20,070 --> 01:03:22,128
The next one.Any date?
1317
01:03:22,170 --> 01:03:24,774
-No
-And how does that begin?
1318
01:03:24,790 --> 01:03:27,281
-My own beloved
-Will you speak louder,please
1319
01:03:27,530 --> 01:03:28,533
The jury can't hear you
1320
01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:30,665
My own beloved
1321
01:03:30,665 --> 01:03:32,732
Thank you and the next
1322
01:03:33,030 --> 01:03:34,085
No date?
1323
01:03:35,336 --> 01:03:36,933
No it just said month
1324
01:03:36,933 --> 01:03:39,733
It just say months and how does it begins?
1325
01:03:41,103 --> 01:03:42,161
My own beloved
1326
01:03:42,378 --> 01:03:43,532
And all the others,no date?
1327
01:03:44,667 --> 01:03:45,671
No
1328
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:47,992
You say you wrote them all
before Lady Brasted marriage
1329
01:03:48,110 --> 01:03:49,122
Yes
1330
01:03:49,587 --> 01:03:52,286
Rather convenient for you that you
forgot to date them was it not?
1331
01:03:52,300 --> 01:03:54,662
Your are not expect love
letters to be dated,do you?
1332
01:03:54,730 --> 01:03:55,816
I wouldn't know
1333
01:03:55,879 --> 01:03:58,399
It's a long time since I wrote a love
letter to a married woman
1334
01:03:58,489 --> 01:04:00,466
Now look at this
1335
01:04:00,466 --> 01:04:02,156
-My Lord
-I will not be interrupted now
1336
01:04:02,229 --> 01:04:04,062
Mr Mainwaring,please sit down
1337
01:04:08,134 --> 01:04:10,496
Mr Waterhouse,is that your letter?
1338
01:04:12,926 --> 01:04:13,967
Yes
1339
01:04:15,431 --> 01:04:16,478
Where did you get this?
1340
01:04:16,559 --> 01:04:17,751
From the lady you wrote it to
1341
01:04:17,809 --> 01:04:19,316
That's a lie and you know it
1342
01:04:19,316 --> 01:04:20,564
Don't be rude to me
1343
01:04:20,809 --> 01:04:22,778
That is a very improper observation
1344
01:04:23,169 --> 01:04:24,170
Give me the letter
1345
01:04:28,390 --> 01:04:29,801
Is this your letter?
1346
01:04:29,801 --> 01:04:32,411
Of course it's my letter
1347
01:04:34,197 --> 01:04:35,642
You want to see this Mr Mainwaring?
1348
01:04:35,699 --> 01:04:39,306
I have given My Colleague,My Lord a copy
may witness have it back?
1349
01:04:39,379 --> 01:04:42,192
I am going to read it,Mr Waterhouse
1350
01:04:42,279 --> 01:04:44,039
For obvious reasons I hope you appreciate
1351
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:46,049
I shall read only the body of the letter
1352
01:04:46,099 --> 01:04:47,642
I shall miss the beginning and the end
1353
01:04:48,819 --> 01:04:55,089
I have just left his Lordship if he thinks
I'll keep quiet for 10000 £,he's mistaken
1354
01:04:55,169 --> 01:04:57,008
I told him it wasn't good enough
1355
01:04:57,059 --> 01:04:58,381
We have to go higher
1356
01:04:59,411 --> 01:05:02,067
Is it my understanding that you
do not deny this is your letter?
1357
01:05:02,159 --> 01:05:04,236
It is my letter
1358
01:05:04,289 --> 01:05:05,346
Then what does it mean
1359
01:05:05,346 --> 01:05:09,020
"I told him it wasn't good enough
we will have to go higher"
1360
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:11,489
You wanted 20000 £
1361
01:05:12,580 --> 01:05:13,708
It mean nothing of the sort
1362
01:05:13,908 --> 01:05:15,660
Then was does it mean?
1363
01:05:15,978 --> 01:05:19,249
It means that I was not going to be bribed
that I was going to the Prime Minister
1364
01:05:19,339 --> 01:05:21,776
Oh it'll have to go higher
1365
01:05:22,099 --> 01:05:24,311
That means you are not going to be bribed
1366
01:05:24,379 --> 01:05:25,580
It does
1367
01:05:25,580 --> 01:05:28,862
Look at it instead of love letter
1368
01:05:28,869 --> 01:05:31,526
How dare you ask me that
1369
01:05:31,940 --> 01:05:34,162
I think the whole letter
must be read Sir John
1370
01:05:34,260 --> 01:05:35,795
Is that absolutely necessary,My Lord?
1371
01:05:35,795 --> 01:05:37,148
I think it is
1372
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:46,533
My beloved I have just left his Lordship
1373
01:05:46,610 --> 01:05:49,182
if he thinks I'll keep quiet for 10000 £
1374
01:05:49,270 --> 01:05:50,339
he's mistaken
1375
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:53,318
I told him it wasn't good enough,
it'll have to go higher
1376
01:05:54,451 --> 01:05:55,559
You know what that means
1377
01:05:55,650 --> 01:05:56,676
but I'm not afraid
1378
01:05:57,252 --> 01:05:58,471
You are always in my thought
1379
01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:00,053
I love you
1380
01:06:00,382 --> 01:06:02,807
I love you,I love you,Derek
1381
01:06:04,591 --> 01:06:06,454
No,I did not write that to Lady Brasted
1382
01:06:06,550 --> 01:06:08,822
-What?
-Derek
1383
01:06:08,900 --> 01:06:11,450
Are you trying to bring some
other lady's name into this case?
1384
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:14,336
You think it is more likely to be believed?
1385
01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:16,903
Of course you can invent a name you like
1386
01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:18,149
Why is she here not in court?
1387
01:06:18,896 --> 01:06:20,631
Well,to whom did you write it?
1388
01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:23,354
Think for a moment before you answer
1389
01:06:23,370 --> 01:06:27,726
Lady Brasted is at court,this must be
a very painful incident to her
1390
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:31,906
Do you still insist that
you did not write this letter
1391
01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:34,380
Which you admit is yours,to her?
1392
01:06:34,460 --> 01:06:35,470
Yes,I do
1393
01:06:35,530 --> 01:06:36,931
Why should I deny it if is not true
1394
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:38,082
Shall I tell you why?
1395
01:06:38,170 --> 01:06:41,111
Because you thought you would be ashamed
to admit to this story in open court
1396
01:06:41,180 --> 01:06:43,781
That's not true why should I
write such letter to Lady Bracelet?
1397
01:06:43,855 --> 01:06:45,176
You want me to tell you that too?
1398
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:46,241
Yes
1399
01:06:46,300 --> 01:06:48,336
Do you insist upon it although
she's sitting here
1400
01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:50,181
beside her husband?
-Yes I do
1401
01:06:53,345 --> 01:06:56,217
-Because you were her lover
-That is a lie
1402
01:06:56,310 --> 01:06:58,198
-Another lie?
-Helen tell them it's not true
1403
01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:03,074
Derek you know it is true
1404
01:07:11,943 --> 01:07:14,764
Waterhouse you see Lady
Brasted leave the court
1405
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:17,214
You are now free to
say just what you like
1406
01:07:17,300 --> 01:07:20,501
You still insist it was not
to her you wrote this letter?
1407
01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:22,050
Yes, yes, yes
1408
01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:25,524
The will you tell me the name of the lady
to whom you wrote the letter about 10000£?
1409
01:07:26,653 --> 01:07:27,753
Why do you hesitate?
1410
01:07:27,850 --> 01:07:29,914
You've already disgraced one woman
1411
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:31,604
Why do you hesitate to disgrace another?
1412
01:07:34,142 --> 01:07:35,189
Who was it?
1413
01:07:36,873 --> 01:07:37,966
I won't say
1414
01:07:41,165 --> 01:07:43,293
Thank you Mr Waterhouse it
is all I have to ask you
1415
01:08:01,535 --> 01:08:03,852
-Sorry to be late
-You're not the only one
1416
01:08:03,910 --> 01:08:05,962
-Is Mary here?
-No,not a sign of her..
1417
01:08:06,050 --> 01:08:08,648
but she telephoned from the
airport to say not to wait for her
1418
01:08:08,820 --> 01:08:10,420
because she might not be able to make it
1419
01:08:10,490 --> 01:08:12,799
-Did you speak to her?
-No,she left a message with Morton
1420
01:08:12,890 --> 01:08:15,411
Is there an explanation why
she had to fly home?
1421
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:16,570
Not a word
1422
01:08:16,650 --> 01:08:19,418
-Well not letting secrets as you thought
-No,I don't expect so
1423
01:08:19,489 --> 01:08:20,815
-Is the case over?
-Yes
1424
01:08:21,999 --> 01:08:23,092
Brasted won I suppose
1425
01:08:23,170 --> 01:08:25,788
10000 £ in damages and payments
for use of the Public Prosecutor
1426
01:08:25,790 --> 01:08:26,940
Man is a fool
1427
01:08:27,378 --> 01:08:28,620
-Are they?
-Of course they are
1428
01:08:28,620 --> 01:08:30,673
A woman judge would have
dismissed the case at once
1429
01:08:30,759 --> 01:08:32,140
That would be most irregular
1430
01:08:32,210 --> 01:08:33,506
It would have been most sensible
1431
01:08:34,360 --> 01:08:35,409
Let's go in,shall we?
1432
01:08:51,735 --> 01:08:52,753
Excuse me?
1433
01:08:53,869 --> 01:08:56,473
-Did you want something,Lady?
-I've been looking for Mr Waterhouse
1434
01:08:56,510 --> 01:08:59,846
He's gone now,you can't find him,the case
was over an hour ago
1435
01:08:59,879 --> 01:09:01,341
Thank you,who won?
1436
01:09:01,927 --> 01:09:02,996
Lord Brasted
1437
01:09:04,093 --> 01:09:06,419
There was no doubt about it once
they produced that letter
1438
01:09:06,450 --> 01:09:07,818
Jury wasn't out more than an hour
1439
01:09:09,769 --> 01:09:12,116
And.. Thank you
1440
01:09:16,394 --> 01:09:18,180
Excuse me,Sir John, may I speak to you?
1441
01:09:18,270 --> 01:09:19,458
Of course ,Mario, what is it?
1442
01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:20,629
This letter,Sir
1443
01:09:20,729 --> 01:09:22,029
-What letter?
-From the young man
1444
01:09:22,100 --> 01:09:23,835
He is supposed to have
written in your case
1445
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:24,930
This one
1446
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:26,532
What are you going to propose with it?
1447
01:09:26,540 --> 01:09:28,721
There's a picture of it in
the Lunch edition see here
1448
01:09:29,780 --> 01:09:30,829
Well what about it?
1449
01:09:31,039 --> 01:09:32,520
You see that notepaper attached on?
1450
01:09:32,690 --> 01:09:34,131
With a heading with a little design
1451
01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:36,985
And the letter is dated March 22
1452
01:09:37,315 --> 01:09:40,239
Well, but that paper was not
made until the Month of May
1453
01:09:41,790 --> 01:09:43,636
-Are you sure of that?
-Absolutely,Sir
1454
01:09:44,416 --> 01:09:46,424
Can you produce any evidence
to prove what you say?
1455
01:09:46,504 --> 01:09:47,516
Evidence Sir John?
1456
01:09:47,540 --> 01:09:49,931
Orders, invoices,records
1457
01:09:49,959 --> 01:09:51,618
But they would be in the manager's office
1458
01:09:51,709 --> 01:09:53,130
Take me to him will you?
1459
01:09:53,693 --> 01:09:54,745
Excuse my dear
1460
01:09:54,770 --> 01:09:56,455
Oh no I'm coming with you
1461
01:10:01,431 --> 01:10:02,795
That is perfectly correct,Sir John
1462
01:10:03,270 --> 01:10:07,655
This first sample was submitted on May
the 5th we acted in on May 7th
1463
01:10:08,700 --> 01:10:12,625
and this one deliveries of the new
papers dated May the 18th
1464
01:10:12,690 --> 01:10:14,627
Can you give me the debts to print out?
1465
01:10:14,640 --> 01:10:17,660
-Certainly here it is
-Thank you
1466
01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:19,744
And I'd like to borrow the file if I may?
1467
01:10:19,820 --> 01:10:21,591
Of course,Sir John,of course
1468
01:10:21,690 --> 01:10:23,417
Thank you shall have it back in due course
1469
01:10:23,510 --> 01:10:24,659
Thank you good day to you
1470
01:10:26,602 --> 01:10:27,626
Just a moment
1471
01:10:28,093 --> 01:10:29,847
Perhaps the letter was dated with a mistake
1472
01:10:29,940 --> 01:10:32,140
March the 22nd instead of May the 22nd
1473
01:10:32,220 --> 01:10:33,956
It says I have seen B today
1474
01:10:34,020 --> 01:10:36,522
The writer saw Lord Brasted
on the date of the letter
1475
01:10:36,610 --> 01:10:39,710
March the 22nd the actual
day on which they met
1476
01:10:39,740 --> 01:10:41,451
-It must be some mistake
-I don't see where
1477
01:10:41,690 --> 01:10:43,253
You mean the letter was forged?
1478
01:10:43,300 --> 01:10:46,291
Exactly and the forger was unaware
that the letter paper had been changed
1479
01:10:46,300 --> 01:10:48,598
I told you a woman judge would
have thrown out the case
1480
01:10:48,630 --> 01:10:50,831
You know if you say that
again I think I shall beat you
1481
01:10:50,860 --> 01:10:53,364
-Sorry
-What are you going to do?
1482
01:10:53,420 --> 01:10:54,814
The only thing I can do
1483
01:10:54,820 --> 01:10:57,331
Let these papers are sent to the
public prosecutor at once
1484
01:10:57,390 --> 01:10:58,806
Without telling Lord Brasted?
1485
01:10:59,350 --> 01:11:00,365
You can tell him
1486
01:11:00,365 --> 01:11:01,773
But you're still acting for him?
1487
01:11:01,790 --> 01:11:03,286
I can hardly go on acting for him
1488
01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:06,068
And at the same time see that this
information sent to his opponents
1489
01:11:06,130 --> 01:11:07,844
Wait a minute what about the other letter?
1490
01:11:07,940 --> 01:11:09,013
How do you explain that?
1491
01:11:09,020 --> 01:11:10,028
I can't
1492
01:11:10,228 --> 01:11:12,370
Are you suggesting that was a forgery too?
1493
01:11:12,430 --> 01:11:13,723
I'm not suggesting anything
1494
01:11:13,780 --> 01:11:15,531
I'm going to try to find out
1495
01:11:15,531 --> 01:11:18,088
Sir John, I beg you to see Lord Brasted
1496
01:11:18,170 --> 01:11:19,509
before you do anything about it
1497
01:11:20,532 --> 01:11:21,552
No
1498
01:11:21,752 --> 01:11:23,554
There are still some rules
in our profession
1499
01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:24,827
There is no rule which forces
1500
01:11:24,830 --> 01:11:27,167
me to send a man to prison when
I know that he is innocent
1501
01:11:27,210 --> 01:11:29,024
But you don't know there may
some explanation
1502
01:11:29,090 --> 01:11:30,387
Lord Brasted is to be asked
1503
01:11:31,561 --> 01:11:33,595
Very well you ask him
1504
01:11:39,622 --> 01:11:41,181
-Derek
-Who's there?
1505
01:11:42,577 --> 01:11:44,845
-How did you get in?
-The porter opened the door for me..
1506
01:11:44,845 --> 01:11:45,851
I told him I must see you
1507
01:11:47,719 --> 01:11:48,731
You needn't bother
1508
01:11:48,820 --> 01:11:50,723
Derek,what's the matter what's happened?
1509
01:11:51,244 --> 01:11:52,633
Why did you write to me like that?
1510
01:11:52,660 --> 01:11:53,975
Stupid of me wasn't it?
1511
01:11:53,975 --> 01:11:56,380
I should know better than to
put anything in writing to you
1512
01:11:57,202 --> 01:11:58,323
I don't know what you mean
1513
01:11:58,330 --> 01:12:01,374
Don't you? Don't you remember
what happened to that letter?
1514
01:12:01,470 --> 01:12:03,751
-What letter?
-What letter
1515
01:12:04,140 --> 01:12:06,955
Derek,I honestly don't know
what you're talking about
1516
01:12:06,980 --> 01:12:10,084
I can't see why you take the trouble to
lie about it,the damage is done now
1517
01:12:10,230 --> 01:12:12,792
Derek,for goodness sake tell me
what am I supposed to have done
1518
01:12:13,958 --> 01:12:15,418
The night before you left for Ceylon
1519
01:12:15,500 --> 01:12:16,931
if you remember I wrote you a note
1520
01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:19,771
This morning your father produced it
in court as evidence against me
1521
01:12:19,830 --> 01:12:21,016
How could he do that ?
1522
01:12:21,452 --> 01:12:22,683
How could you do that
1523
01:12:22,700 --> 01:12:25,193
But if you wrote it to me
how could it be evidence?
1524
01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:26,241
Oh, that was quite easy
1525
01:12:26,260 --> 01:12:27,935
You see I didn't mention your name
1526
01:12:27,970 --> 01:12:29,251
I merely called your beloved
1527
01:12:29,330 --> 01:12:31,115
So your father was able
to convince the jury
1528
01:12:31,210 --> 01:12:32,662
that it was written to Lady Brasted
1529
01:12:33,739 --> 01:12:34,747
What did the note say?
1530
01:12:35,305 --> 01:12:36,341
Don't you remember?
1531
01:12:36,441 --> 01:12:37,963
I told you,Derek,I didn't get it
1532
01:12:41,827 --> 01:12:42,897
Are you sure you didn't?
1533
01:12:42,997 --> 01:12:44,910
Positive I'll tell you something else
1534
01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:47,414
Daddy wouldn't used it unless
Lady Brasted had given it to him
1535
01:12:47,450 --> 01:12:48,863
She must have got hold it somehow
1536
01:12:49,205 --> 01:12:50,814
Derek,you know I'm speaking the truth
1537
01:12:50,900 --> 01:12:53,117
-Don't you
-Of course I do,darling
1538
01:12:53,920 --> 01:12:55,328
What a blithering idiot I've been
1539
01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:57,642
-Please forgive me
-That'll be easy
1540
01:13:03,886 --> 01:13:05,212
Where do we go from here I wonder
1541
01:13:05,637 --> 01:13:07,713
It's easy too.We're going
to see Lady Brasted
1542
01:13:08,500 --> 01:13:11,216
-Not me thank you
-Please darling I need your moral support
1543
01:13:11,310 --> 01:13:13,009
You can leave Lady Brasted to me
1544
01:13:15,127 --> 01:13:16,290
Come on
1545
01:13:20,370 --> 01:13:24,238
I'm sorry,Sir, Lady Brasted is
engaged and can't see you
1546
01:13:26,433 --> 01:13:27,786
That's the route darling
1547
01:13:31,190 --> 01:13:33,012
Lady Brasted
1548
01:13:33,012 --> 01:13:34,525
I sent word that I couldn't see you
1549
01:13:34,590 --> 01:13:36,246
I'm sorry the lady pushed past me,My Lady
1550
01:13:36,290 --> 01:13:37,535
All right Johnson you may go
1551
01:13:38,531 --> 01:13:39,636
Well,what is it?
1552
01:13:39,640 --> 01:13:41,916
Two months ago Derek wrote me a letter
1553
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:43,353
I didn't receive it
1554
01:13:43,453 --> 01:13:46,180
This morning you produced it in
court and said it was written to you
1555
01:13:46,220 --> 01:13:47,667
I want that letter back
1556
01:13:48,310 --> 01:13:49,376
You're too late
1557
01:13:49,390 --> 01:13:50,889
Public prosecutor has it
1558
01:13:50,889 --> 01:13:52,006
Does he know you stole it?
1559
01:13:52,384 --> 01:13:54,641
My dear child ,I don't know
what you are talking about
1560
01:13:54,710 --> 01:13:56,590
If you didn't steal it,how
did you come buy it?
1561
01:13:56,680 --> 01:13:58,763
The usual way through the post
1562
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:01,035
It's a lie
1563
01:14:01,135 --> 01:14:02,583
Then I suppose all the other letters
1564
01:14:02,590 --> 01:14:04,194
that Derek wrote to me were lies also
1565
01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:07,093
No I know about them Derek
told me he'd written them
1566
01:14:07,130 --> 01:14:08,347
But that was before I met him
1567
01:14:08,350 --> 01:14:10,227
before you married Lord Brasted
1568
01:14:11,220 --> 01:14:12,632
You really believe that story?
1569
01:14:12,632 --> 01:14:14,099
Of course,because it's true
1570
01:14:15,715 --> 01:14:17,854
Well it's not what the jury
saw in court this morning
1571
01:14:18,826 --> 01:14:21,442
Lady Brasted, Derek might go to prison
1572
01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:24,046
You are in love with him aren't you?
1573
01:14:24,046 --> 01:14:25,085
Yes
1574
01:14:25,085 --> 01:14:27,069
-Enough to do anything for him?
-Yes
1575
01:14:28,490 --> 01:14:29,946
Well I'm in love with my husband
1576
01:14:30,490 --> 01:14:31,827
Nobody else means anything to me
1577
01:14:32,634 --> 01:14:34,340
This morning in court I risked everything
1578
01:14:34,440 --> 01:14:36,413
even his love by producing that letter
1579
01:14:36,515 --> 01:14:38,642
Do you think I am going to
spoil it all now by saying
1580
01:14:38,700 --> 01:14:40,158
that letter was never written to me
1581
01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:42,646
It was intended for little Miss Dearing
1582
01:14:42,710 --> 01:14:45,501
because if you do you're a bigger
fool then I took you for
1583
01:14:45,580 --> 01:14:47,277
You can't mean it
1584
01:14:47,310 --> 01:14:48,998
I most certainly do mean it
1585
01:14:49,270 --> 01:14:51,889
you haven't a shred of evidence
and you won't get it any from me
1586
01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:53,569
Now please go away
1587
01:14:53,590 --> 01:14:54,723
You bore me
1588
01:15:01,070 --> 01:15:02,978
Good Evening Morton
1589
01:15:04,602 --> 01:15:06,176
Daddy will settle this in five minutes
1590
01:15:06,180 --> 01:15:07,804
He's the cleverest man alive
1591
01:15:07,860 --> 01:15:09,998
Yes, so far he's been slight
too clever for me
1592
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:12,122
Nonsense come in and
tell him the whole story
1593
01:15:16,195 --> 01:15:17,292
Hello,darling
1594
01:15:17,370 --> 01:15:19,482
Ah so it's time to come
home at last young lady
1595
01:15:20,212 --> 01:15:22,053
Sorry I couldn't make it
before but I was busy
1596
01:15:23,373 --> 01:15:24,619
Daphne is very much better
1597
01:15:24,660 --> 01:15:26,389
-Ah good
-I'll tell you about her later on
1598
01:15:26,390 --> 01:15:28,792
At the moment we've got more
important things to talk about
1599
01:15:28,860 --> 01:15:30,102
You both know Derek don't you?
1600
01:15:30,810 --> 01:15:32,815
Yes I think we knew each other pretty well
1601
01:15:32,820 --> 01:15:34,721
May I ask why you come here?
1602
01:15:34,790 --> 01:15:37,407
That's quite simple I'm going to marry him
1603
01:15:38,342 --> 01:15:40,057
Oh I think everything's perfectly clear
1604
01:15:40,861 --> 01:15:42,314
Sit down,will you have a cigarette?
1605
01:15:42,614 --> 01:15:44,066
You don't suppose I wanted to come
1606
01:15:44,100 --> 01:15:45,182
Rubbish he has to come
1607
01:15:45,220 --> 01:15:47,411
Since his case been muddled
up quite enough already
1608
01:15:47,511 --> 01:15:48,715
it's going to end here and now
1609
01:15:48,740 --> 01:15:50,964
Tell him who that letter was written to
1610
01:15:51,709 --> 01:15:52,776
All right I will
1611
01:15:52,850 --> 01:15:55,581
He wrote it to me I'm not going
to say you don't believe me
1612
01:15:56,336 --> 01:15:57,501
Well of course I believe you
1613
01:15:57,520 --> 01:16:00,241
If you really do that end this
stupid business once and for all
1614
01:16:00,260 --> 01:16:01,271
Of course
1615
01:16:02,759 --> 01:16:04,034
Where did you get this letter?
1616
01:16:05,558 --> 01:16:07,027
I never got it
1617
01:16:07,027 --> 01:16:08,027
Oh
1618
01:16:08,660 --> 01:16:11,251
No need to look so beastly legal
I tell you he wrote it to me
1619
01:16:11,300 --> 01:16:12,736
May I ask you how you know that?
1620
01:16:12,736 --> 01:16:14,146
Because he told me
1621
01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:15,705
It's quite enough for me
1622
01:16:16,220 --> 01:16:17,484
He never mentioned it in court
1623
01:16:17,646 --> 01:16:18,721
Why not?
1624
01:16:18,750 --> 01:16:20,362
Would anyone have believed me if I had?
1625
01:16:20,432 --> 01:16:21,590
Would you have believed me?
1626
01:16:21,660 --> 01:16:24,242
After all you told me that I
had disgraced one woman
1627
01:16:25,112 --> 01:16:27,115
I didn't want to disgrace
another who wasn't there
1628
01:16:27,150 --> 01:16:29,188
Did you post this letter?
1629
01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:30,614
No
1630
01:16:31,190 --> 01:16:32,239
What did you do with it?
1631
01:16:32,239 --> 01:16:33,451
I left it here
1632
01:16:35,049 --> 01:16:36,533
-When?
-The day I went away
1633
01:16:37,783 --> 01:16:39,236
-Who did you get it to?
-Your butler
1634
01:16:42,916 --> 01:16:44,736
Of course everything has to be confirmed
1635
01:16:44,790 --> 01:16:46,397
That is the law
1636
01:16:46,397 --> 01:16:48,103
It's also common sense
1637
01:16:48,537 --> 01:16:51,726
Morton do you remember Mr Waterhouse
giving you a letter addressed to Miss Mary?
1638
01:16:51,826 --> 01:16:52,864
Yes,Sir John
1639
01:16:52,864 --> 01:16:54,466
When was that,you remember?
1640
01:16:54,720 --> 01:16:56,588
The night before was Mary went abroad Sir
1641
01:16:56,590 --> 01:16:58,300
I'm afraid I forgot to give it to her
1642
01:16:58,400 --> 01:16:59,437
What did you do with it?
1643
01:16:59,766 --> 01:17:01,076
I gave it to Lady Dearing,Sir
1644
01:17:01,076 --> 01:17:02,904
I understood she was going to readdress it
1645
01:17:02,940 --> 01:17:04,030
Did you readdress it?
1646
01:17:04,110 --> 01:17:05,257
You know I didn't
1647
01:17:06,522 --> 01:17:08,042
I'm afraid I forgot all about it
1648
01:17:08,140 --> 01:17:10,380
Most helpful and you never saw it again?
1649
01:17:10,480 --> 01:17:11,574
No
1650
01:17:11,579 --> 01:17:14,015
Was there anybody with Lady Dearing
when you gave it to her?
1651
01:17:14,110 --> 01:17:15,792
Yes ,Sir John Lady Brasted
1652
01:17:16,651 --> 01:17:17,778
I see
1653
01:17:17,857 --> 01:17:18,896
Excuse me
1654
01:17:25,253 --> 01:17:26,278
All right Morton
1655
01:17:33,837 --> 01:17:36,530
Lord Brasted,please,Sir John Dearing
1656
01:17:38,432 --> 01:17:39,463
Lord Brasted?
1657
01:17:40,995 --> 01:17:42,018
Yes
1658
01:17:42,977 --> 01:17:44,533
Has Mr Mersel been in touch with you?
1659
01:17:45,035 --> 01:17:46,088
He has
1660
01:17:47,631 --> 01:17:48,722
Yes
1661
01:17:48,768 --> 01:17:50,902
No I want to talk to about
something quite different
1662
01:17:51,177 --> 01:17:53,059
Some information is just
coming into my hands
1663
01:17:53,060 --> 01:17:54,360
regarding the other letter
1664
01:17:56,275 --> 01:17:57,922
The one your wife said was written to her
1665
01:17:59,967 --> 01:18:01,048
Yes,that's what I said
1666
01:18:02,356 --> 01:18:03,364
I think so too
1667
01:18:03,450 --> 01:18:05,121
Anything you say of course
1668
01:18:07,130 --> 01:18:08,686
Very well I'll be there at 10 o'clock
1669
01:18:10,352 --> 01:18:13,830
Yes that suits me all right.
All right good bye
1670
01:18:16,452 --> 01:18:17,500
Well daddy
1671
01:18:17,570 --> 01:18:19,592
-Well what?
-Derek wants your advice
1672
01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:20,916
Professional or otherwise ?
1673
01:18:20,971 --> 01:18:21,996
Otherwise
1674
01:18:22,530 --> 01:18:24,243
My advice is marry my girl
1675
01:18:24,316 --> 01:18:26,132
I was going to do that anyway for her
1676
01:18:26,163 --> 01:18:28,260
All I wanted to know when
you could give her away?
1677
01:18:29,333 --> 01:18:30,606
-I should think..
-That's easy
1678
01:18:31,265 --> 01:18:32,571
When I tell him to
1679
01:18:34,349 --> 01:18:35,432
Of course I shall deny it
1680
01:18:35,432 --> 01:18:36,626
And I'll be believed
1681
01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:39,569
Who do you think would take Derek's
word against mine after today?
1682
01:18:39,905 --> 01:18:42,209
-Even if he got witnesses
-What witnesses?
1683
01:18:42,280 --> 01:18:44,433
Some silly old family retainer
1684
01:18:44,940 --> 01:18:46,505
Never heard of anything so ridiculous
1685
01:18:46,830 --> 01:18:48,106
You'd be lying too I suppose
1686
01:18:48,106 --> 01:18:49,542
But of course darling
1687
01:18:49,542 --> 01:18:51,614
Look if they want a fight they can have it
1688
01:18:51,640 --> 01:18:53,619
You're not going to take
this lying down are you?
1689
01:18:53,690 --> 01:18:55,085
Not if that's the way you want it
1690
01:18:55,090 --> 01:18:56,127
Arthur
1691
01:18:56,929 --> 01:18:58,307
There isn't anything else is it?
1692
01:18:58,307 --> 01:18:59,436
What do you mean?
1693
01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:01,334
Anything you haven't told me?
1694
01:19:02,631 --> 01:19:03,848
No,there is nothing else
1695
01:19:04,278 --> 01:19:08,199
Then that's settled.We've been in worse jam
than this before,we come through all that
1696
01:19:08,280 --> 01:19:09,758
But we must fight
1697
01:19:11,070 --> 01:19:12,584
I am a little tired
1698
01:19:12,964 --> 01:19:13,982
I know darling
1699
01:19:14,830 --> 01:19:16,489
We talk about it in the morning,shall we?
1700
01:19:16,703 --> 01:19:18,697
Yeah,in the morning
1701
01:19:19,839 --> 01:19:22,486
Helen tell me something
1702
01:19:23,609 --> 01:19:25,909
-Anything worth it?
-What?
1703
01:19:25,990 --> 01:19:30,454
-Our marriage,dear
-I have won the grips
1704
01:19:30,750 --> 01:19:31,858
Is that what you mean?
1705
01:19:32,619 --> 01:19:34,179
That's exactly what I mean
1706
01:19:35,157 --> 01:19:37,501
Darling I wouldn't have
had it any other way
1707
01:19:38,495 --> 01:19:39,967
-Whatever happens
-I'm glad
1708
01:19:40,823 --> 01:19:42,087
That's make all the difference
1709
01:19:43,562 --> 01:19:44,628
Good night
1710
01:19:44,709 --> 01:19:46,682
Aren't you coming to bed?
1711
01:19:47,106 --> 01:19:48,143
No,not yet
1712
01:19:49,030 --> 01:19:50,392
I got one or two letters to write
1713
01:19:51,256 --> 01:19:52,278
All right
1714
01:19:58,597 --> 01:19:59,688
Helen
1715
01:20:02,284 --> 01:20:04,073
I'm glad he didn't write that letter to you
1716
01:20:05,531 --> 01:20:06,630
Silly
1717
01:20:06,654 --> 01:20:08,813
You think I would have shown
it to you if he hadn't?
1718
01:20:09,323 --> 01:20:10,357
No,I suppose not
1719
01:20:18,412 --> 01:20:19,443
Good Night my darling
1720
01:20:21,352 --> 01:20:22,759
Good Night,darling
1721
01:20:48,539 --> 01:20:49,988
Do you want anything else My Lord?
1722
01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:53,438
No thank you,Johnson I'm just
going out to post these letters
1723
01:20:53,530 --> 01:20:54,758
Can I post them My Lord?
1724
01:20:55,688 --> 01:20:57,619
No,I think a little fresh air
would do me good
1725
01:21:00,411 --> 01:21:01,979
-Good Night,Johnson
-Good Night My Lord
1726
01:21:27,320 --> 01:21:28,802
Is this the book you wanted My Lady?
1727
01:21:28,839 --> 01:21:30,775
Yes thank you,Susan,
put it by the bed,will you?
1728
01:21:30,875 --> 01:21:31,934
Yes,My Lady
1729
01:21:31,992 --> 01:21:33,012
Is he ready to go up now?
1730
01:21:33,079 --> 01:21:35,016
His Lordship,My Lady,
I think he went to the post
1731
01:21:35,059 --> 01:21:36,108
Oh
1732
01:21:36,159 --> 01:21:37,674
-Good Night,My Lady
-Good Night
1733
01:22:00,982 --> 01:22:02,615
-You are off darling?
-Yes I'm just going
1734
01:22:02,690 --> 01:22:04,418
Can you give me a lift? I'm meeting Derek
1735
01:22:04,450 --> 01:22:06,276
-So early
-Making up for lost time,darling
1736
01:22:06,310 --> 01:22:07,633
-Don't be long,I'm in a hurry
-OK
1737
01:22:07,761 --> 01:22:09,019
-Don't say OK
-OK
1738
01:22:09,892 --> 01:22:12,502
-How is it like outside,Morton ?
-You'll need your coat,Sir John
1739
01:22:12,530 --> 01:22:13,563
Thanks
1740
01:22:14,587 --> 01:22:16,060
-Excuse me.Sir
-OK
1741
01:22:17,610 --> 01:22:19,378
You won't be late tonight darling will you?
1742
01:22:19,450 --> 01:22:22,101
I'd rather not I might call into
the club for a minute or two
1743
01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:24,104
-It just come by hand,Sir John
-Thank you
1744
01:22:25,444 --> 01:22:27,954
Frank Mainwaring some misguided
idea to keep his billet
1745
01:22:33,145 --> 01:22:34,157
Look at this
1746
01:22:35,039 --> 01:22:39,359
I'm sorry my husband will not be able to
keep his appointment with you this morning
1747
01:22:40,007 --> 01:22:41,247
An accident occurred last night
1748
01:22:42,074 --> 01:22:43,160
You were quite right
1749
01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:45,504
This case was a matter
of life or death to him
1750
01:22:45,580 --> 01:22:47,325
Anne Brasted
1751
01:22:48,635 --> 01:22:49,671
Poor woman
1752
01:22:50,339 --> 01:22:52,637
-John do you think..
