But you like them, don't you?

Wonderful.

Ernie, you have your plate!

- Ernie! - Oh, Jim, please.

Ernie!

He does it on purpose every day.

Ernie!

Why don't you stop screaming, dad?

I'm already fed up.

Take.

Shall I tell you something else?

I'm also up to the noses of you.

I'm fed up with this stinking place.

And we are already up the noses of you.

- I bet you would want to kill me. - You give me plenty of reasons.

Well go ahead!

- You just...! - Leave it already.

Sit down and drink your tea.

And you too, dad.

SUMMONED AS A JURY

I hope you haven't too strong.

Well, it doesn't matter, because I have a little more milk.

I really don't care.

But I thought there were new cookies.

Well, if you haven't opened them, it doesn't matter.

You must have had a very busy day.

Mrs. Fisher didn't come this afternoon to the appointment, something very inconsiderate.

I could have had to take care of you or something.

You are very pretty, darling.

I don't understand how no one notices you has declared yet.

You should go out more.

Instead of staying at home with your poor mother.

But you already know that I do it, so look for your moments...

...so that we can both be very well together.

And who knows how long you will still have me.

Sometimes I feel like I can't anymore continue not one more minute.

I see something bothers you.

If so, I'm sorry, It wasn't my intention.

Are you okay?

Yes, of course, mom.

I feel great.

Oh, I almost forgot.

You have to serve as a jury.

The letter arrived today and I opened it because it seemed like something very official.

And given my sight I did not see the name well.

I'm sure it's because of the case by Roderick Strood.

You know, that man I killed his wife and fled with another woman.

It's in the newspapers. Aren't you glad they called you?

Yes, mom.

Oh, I wish your father had killed me Instead of letting me die alone.

"Mom"!

But I still have you, my little one, right?

Yes, mother.

You will never leave and you'll leave me alone, right?

How can I leave you?

Where have you been lately?

In Casablanca?

You haven't been sitting either next to the phone, my love.

Do you know something?

You've never told me.

Are you married?

Oh yes, the truth is that yes.

Why do you ask?

I guess it's her fault.

If you were married to me, I wouldn't let you leave my side.

Do you love her?

Look, Clarice,

...with men it's different.

I can love her and love you at the same time.

One has nothing to do with with the other, do you understand?

One thing yes.

I'm in love with you.

You believe me, right?

I'm crazy about you.

But you can't marry me.

-Who says no? - But you're married!

Tomorrow I could be free.

How?

You leave it to me.

let's not worry now about that.

SUMMONED AS A JURY

- I have never been a jury before. - What?

That guy, Soor, Strood or something like that.

The music critic.

He got involved with another woman.

He gave his wife some poisoned pills

Everything will come out in the trial.

Washing dirty cloths in public.

When you get married you should leave to go around chasing some skirts.

It's hypocrisy.

Cheating.

There is no excuse for it.

He deserves all the punishment let it fall

If you are married, you are married.

Follow the rules no matter what.

No cheating.

I totally agree with you.

Well of course.

But those things happen sometimes, Isn't that so?

About another woman, I mean.

I guess so.

But that doesn't justify it.

Like a man falling in love with a attractive woman when his wife is not there.

Yes, it is possible.

Well of course it is possible.

Jane, that was her name, right?

Jane Martin.

So you knew everything.

He dropped this.

Thank you, sister.

Summons as a jury.

Won't have much time for juries when your baby arrives.

I know the law can handle it get by without me.

Mr. Jade.

- Is it already...? I mean... - Yes, it's all over now.

Thank you, God.

Thank you, doctor, I...

Is something wrong?

- I'm afraid you'll have to prepare... -Has something happened to her?

Your wife will be fine.

But we couldn't save the baby.

Do you mean he's dead?

We did everything we could.

I have to warn you that the same thing will happen to you. if you get pregnant again.

I'm sorry this came out like this.

Can I come in to see you, doctor?

Not now.

She's still asleep.

I understand.

When she wakes up, she will be devastated.

Everything we wanted All these years it was a family.

But John, honey, you have to get me out of this.

It's useless in the first place I have no idea about laws.

Don't be unfriendly.

Besides, I go for nothing to renounce Switzerland.

Make whatever excuse, you always know what to say.

Say I'm dead.

Will you do it?

Thank you.

You are a heaven.

Goodbye.

I won't be there for a few days, but there will always be someone here.

I will have to be seated on the jury.

Trying to decide what it is truth and what a lie.

As if anyone could be sure.

There are only two things for sure in this world:

taxes,

...and the other.

Very sure.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

MORTUARY

- Hello, Roderick. - Hello, Mark.

- Have you heard of Antony Harcombe? - Yes, of course.

Mark tells me what do you want? take charge of my defense.

I am very grateful to you.

Mark is an old man and very dear friend.

And a very good lawyer.

Sit down, Roderick, We have a lot to talk about.

- Do you mind if I'm frank? - Not at all.

It has a certain advantage about being frank.

You know the worst from the beginning.

He doesn't think he has many odds.

It has good possibilities of being hanged.

Mr. Penneman tells me no He has any doubts about his innocence.

I will do what I can to help you.

That makes me feel better.

Whether you are successful depends fully of your cooperation.

Lie to me about anything, and I repeat, in whatever it is,

...and you will harm yourself, to Mr. Penneman, to all of us.

The absolute truth, Is that understood?

Yes, I understood it.

Good.

Who killed her?

I don't know.

Did you do it?

I don't know that either.

Do you mean it could be?

Yes, I could have done it.

Well let's hear the story from the beginning.

I guess it all started on the day who was on the station.

Oh, Mr. Roderick.

Hello, Rodney.

Come in and tell me what you think as a music critic.

Okay, but I'm in a hurry.

Who is it?

Elizabeth Anders.

Anders?

Well, what do you think of her?

Not bad.

The critics are all the same, Nobody is nobody until there is someone.

So, they already forget us.

Well, wouldn't you like to meet her?

Good.

Organize it sometime.

- Call me on the phone. - I will.

Did you wait too long, darling?

A bit.

Who did you meet? Was it interesting?

I thought I was pretty good.

Why did you turn it off?

You don't trust me one bit only minute a day.

Who did you meet? Was it interesting...?

Honey, please, he was joking.

For your information, I didn't know anyone.

I didn't say you did.

Envy corrodes you, you think that Any woman I know...

...she is more beautiful and younger.

Aren't they?

�Stop torturing yourself and me too!

I'm sorry.

As long as I know you love me.

I know it is like that.

I never know why I doubt.

See,

...these were things that They had already happened before,

...and that would happen again.

I reached a point where my arms of Daphne around me were...

...like chains.

Elizabeth Anders was like...

...a breath of freedom.

There was nothing to prevent that I fell in love with her.

And he didn't tell his wife anything. about that adventure.

Maybe she assumed what was happening.

Anyway, I decided not to wait until he found out.

Maybe I should have done it, but...

...you see, Roderick asked me, as a friend of both parties,

...and also as his lawyer,

...to see Daphne and tell her will comment on...

...grant a divorce to Rod.

What will you have, Daphne?

Whatever.

A Bloody Mary?

This is my state of mind.

What I have to tell you, darling,

...not very happy.

I can imagine it.

It's about Rod.

Well, about you and Rod.

Well?

Shall we have the drink first?

He thinks he has fallen in love from another person.

Yes, that's it.

Only it has gone beyond that.

He wants a divorce.

I don't believe it.

Not for a moment.

He is not in love.

I wish you were right.

Who is she?

A singer.

Elizabeth Anders.

Poor Rod.

I wouldn't think I'd burst into tears and would grant her a divorce.

I refused to take it seriously, you can tell him that.

But I know it's serious.

If it is, I will fight against it.

Honey, that's not good.

We have been married for 10 years.

I think I know my Roderick.

He is not in love with that other woman.

He rebels against me because I love him too much.

Come in, Rod.

Do you want a drink?

No, thanks.

Do you mind if I finish mine?

For the happy years.

For those very happy years.

I have something important to tell you before you say goodbye to me.

Sit close to me, please.

Just a few minutes.

Let's pretend that things are like they used to be.

Just a few minutes.

You go with her.

Yes.

You're doing well, Rod.

You are truly in love and you leave with her.

What good would it do me to try? keep you with me?

Why do we continue to torture ourselves?

Why don't you let say goodbye and leave?

Please just a few more minutes.

You haven't heard me yet.

I'm going too.

Are you leaving? Where?

Far.

That doesn't matter.

I'm not going back.

I'm sure not we will see each other again.

At least, not in this life.

- What are you talking about? - Leave me.

I still haven't told you what It's really important.

- Give me another drink, please. - No.

I need it for what I'm going to tell you.

I'm going to have a son.

What?

I mean,

...I was going to have it.

Are you okay?

Should I call the doctor?

You'll be fine, Mrs. Tucker, go away

Are you with me, darling? Don't go.

- What are you doing? - I call the police.

Hang that up!

Hang it!

I will regret this.

It's all my fault, not from him, believe me.

I tried to kill her, she has the gun in your pocket, do you think I'm blind?

Forget everything, please.

He hasn't killed her yet, remember my words.

Rod.

It was all a lie.

What about the son?

I can't have.

Never.

I know.

Are you going to leave?

No, I'm not going to leave.

Try to sleep.

Regarding those drugs, the so-called poison,

...the pills he put in it glass of milk from his wife,

...where did they come from?

Well?

I don't intend to answer to that question.

Why not?

What does it matter?

Rod, please, for him love of God...

That's all I'm going to say.

I promised to put all the cards on the table.

I've said enough.

I will have said enough when He told me everything.

That's all there is.

Oh, yes?

I'm afraid I can't accept this case.

Wait a minute, Mr. Harcombe.

Roderick, please, be reasonable.

We want to help you but we can't if you don't help us.

You are right.

I promised not to hide anything.

Very good.

But I want it to be clear that there was no plan...

...to poison my wife.

Those pills were for me.

Who gave them to them?

Elizabeth.

Miss Anders?

I already told you that I wasn't sleeping.

I knew that Elizabeth had some very effective sleeping pills...

...so I took them before I left.

"You mean that Miss Anders simply...

...gave him some drugs Potentially dangerous?

She didn't want to, but I insisted.

No one who is not a doctor drives drugs like these,

...knows it as well as I do.

I know she gave them to me.

Do you expect me to believe that?

I don't care what you believe, but it's the truth.

I suggest that your story is...

...it is pure invention and that its intention is to deceive me.

I don't need to lie to you nor to anyone else.

- She gave them to him. - Yes.

She gave him the poison, is responsible,

- ...is the culprit, is that it? - No.

Well, it seems like he wants to throw him out You blame her.

That is not so.

And it has involved to his friend Penneman.

I cheated on him just like He tries to deceive me.

I haven't fooled anyone, to nobody.

I suggest that I was afraid of losing to that woman.

I planned to find that poison, He knew what he was doing step by step.

He wanted to murder his wife.

He is a murderer and deserves to be hanging, is that so?

No, it's not true, not a single word.

Get out of here!

I can do without you.

I continue with the case, Mr. Penneman.

Thank you, Mr. Harcombe.

If Mr. Harcombe is going to represent you,

...you must first be convinced.

Yes, of course.

I'm sorry.

So Miss Anders gave him the pills.

What happened next?

I want you to know this,

...Elizabeth was very reluctant to give me those pills.

...he explained to me how deceptive what they could be.

He warned me not to It would take more than two.

I put the pills in the pocket,

...and I forgot about them until much later.

And then?

Elizabeth was very happy.

It made me feel better.

He was going to come back to me, I wasn't going to lose her.

I kissed him goodbye.

And I went home with Daphne.

I didn't know he was coming back home to kill her.

Is something wrong?

Is this Daphne?

Don't worry.

Now he is safe.

A little nervous tension.

With a good night's sleep there is nothing to worry about.

Please, doctor.

Try to get him to relax, Roderick.

Well,

...the important thing is that you have a good night's sleep.

Yes, I understand, doctor.

Make sure he takes both pills.

Mrs. Tucker.

No, it's me.

But you had left.

I told you, I'm not leaving.

No, I don't want you here anymore.

Not at least for a long season.

I can't think anymore.

I've burned myself from thinking so much.

Remembering my mistakes again and again.

Where is Mrs. Tucker?

Mrs. Tucker!

- Daphne, no... - Go away, don't touch me!

- Don't talk like that. - Leave me alone, I don't want you here!

Do you want hot milk, ma'am?

Very good, very good.

Go away.

No, I'll wait for him to drink it.

Mrs. Tucker, please leave, I'll call her if I need her.

He won't see to it that he drinks it.

Take a sedative.

Ask Mrs. Tucker...

...come and give me something for the nerves.

He brought you this milk.

What are you putting into it?

It's just a little bit of caramel.

And now, sleep.

I hope so.

Goodbye.

So, in the end,

...his wife agreed to grant him divorce...

...and urged him to leave with Miss Anders.

That's how it was.

Yes, but you can't prove it.

Nobody else heard her.

Where is Elizabeth Anders now?

Why?

I intend to call her as a witness.

I am totally opposed to you call it.

- Even if they hang him for it? - Even if they hang me for it.

Rod, please. Be reasonable.

I said I won't call her and that is final.

It might be advisable not to provide us with evidence, Roderick.

�That he did not give evidence in my own defense?

He doesn't have much faith in What I told you, isn't it?

No no. It's not about that.

I'm afraid of what the prosecutor will do to him. if you call him to the stand.

Let Mr. Harcombe decide that. He knows better.

You could also tell me the truth.

It seems to me that things don't look good very good for me, right?

It won't be easy...

...but we have one good possibility.

I know.

Is...

It's up to the jury.

Roderick Williams Strood.

He is accused...

...of the events that occurred on the 30th July 1955.

Of criminal, voluntarily and with premeditation,

...have ended life of his wife,

...Daphne Strood.

How is it declared?

Guilty or not guilty?

Not guilty.

With the permission of Your Ladyship.

Jury members.

In this case I introduce myself as accusation with Mr. Squire,

...and the accused is represented by my friend Mr. Harcombe and Mr. Phelps.

The charges against the accused,

...as you may have already heard,

...are the most serious of all:

First degree murder.

I must present the case to you, that given its technical aspects,

...may present minor difficulties,

...but essentially It's pretty clear.

It is my duty to provide you data by data, a chain of evidence...

...I'm sure...

...they will be so solid that they will not they could be broken.

Let me tell you once and without artifice.

Their duty is a peculiarly painful thing.

They will hear that death It was due to poisoning.

The prosecution's argument is...

...that the fatal dose was criminally administered,

...deliberately,

...and with the malice of the premeditation...

...by Strood, the accused from the bench

They will hear how he had the opportunity.

Well, it will reach your minds a question.

I have no doubt that They must already have it there.

Suppose that for the facts the accused is guilty.

What could have been your motivation?

If you ask me what could be the reason for this change in his character,

...what can change a man of a respectable life...

...and human instincts...

...in a cold and calculating killer,

...I will answer that it exists a motivation,

...and maybe just one:

The strength,

...the overwhelming force...

...of a guilty passion.

I call my first witness, Detective Sergeant Bolton.

This was at the airport from London.

Yes, sir.

I caught him at the airport from London.

In other words, he tried to leave the country.

Yes, sir.

When he informed him that his wife, Mrs. Strood, was dead,

...what did he say?

When he informed him that his wife She was dead, she became upset.

And then he said...

Speak louder sergeant, and look at the jury,

...I want you to hear this well.

When I told him that his wife was dead,

...said:

"I killed her."

And then?

"It was those pills I gave him."

He said that when he told him the news the accused became upset,

...and started to stutter.

My dear colleague is wrong.

According to the answer given,

...the accused became upset and said: "I killed her."

I apologize to my colleague and I accept the correction.

Were you listening carefully?

Yes, sir.

And he said, according to you:

"I killed her."

Are you very sure of those words?

I am.

He is very sure that what he accused said was: "I killed her."

And not:

"I have killed her."

Yes, absolutely sure.

He said: "I killed her."

Do you keep those words in your memory?

I put them on paper, sir.

How long after that conversation did I write it down?

Some...

...five or six minutes later.

�You have that piece of paper in which I wrote it down?

Yes, sir.

Can you give me that piece? paper, please?

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

If Your Lordship deigns to see this paper, I think you will find it very interesting.

Maybe my colleague wants examine it too.

The witness has written:

"I have killed her."

That's like saying:

"I have killed her."

The expression "I have killed her" could mean:

"I have been an indirect cause of his death."

Or in other words: "Have I killed her?" "Was it my fault?"

That is quite different from the dry and definitive phrase: "I killed her"

See, members of the jury, how easy it is, even for a...

...experienced agent making a mistake.

What actions did you take?

I prescribed some sedatives.

I personally administered the sedatives?

No.

I gave them to the housekeeper, Mrs. Tucker.

With instructions on how to administer them.

- In a glass of hot milk. - Yes.

The drug in question was Oxazolam,

...a usual preparation prescribed by doctors.

Oxazolam contains between other things, Coral,

...methane and alcohol.

I gave him two pills.

One moment.

Did you say, Oxazotam?

No, Oxazolam.

Oxazolam

With L.

Yes, Madam, I think derives from Latin.

Very good.

�And it is as the name suggests...

...a sleeping pill?

Yes, a sleeping drug in common use.

As the prosecution knows,

...also used by many people.

Would you say that it was known and used by people in the theatrical profession?

I strongly protest, Your Ladyship!

It has no relevance some in the case.

I don't know why the prosecution lawyer I should ask this question,

...but...

...you can answer if you know considers capable of it.

I can't answer that, Your Ladyship.

Well, one last question.

This drug, Oxazolam,

...�you can go to a pharmacy and buy it?

It can only be supplied under medical prescription.

So the law would be broken of dangerous drugs...

...if someone were in possession of Oxazolam...

...without a medical prescription.

Completely.

What do you think of everything so far?

I assume he is innocent, of course.

But you can't tell me that did all that...

...if I hadn't known something about it.

No, but not the opposite either.

Why would I tell that one? Detective, Bolton,

..."killed her."?

He didn't say "I killed her", he said "I have killed her", sir...

Underhay, madam, Williams Underhay Shawls.

Thank you.

Tell me, are you a teacher?

Me?

No, I'm a butcher in Pimlico.

But I don't see any difference between...

..."I killed her" and "I have killed her."

She is dead and said that he did it.

What do you think of the case?

Oh, guilty, lady. But I keep an open mind.

- He lives with his mother, right? - A cigarette?

Thank you.

It's a difficult case for Let a woman decide.

More difficult for a woman That for a man, I think.

Why do you say that?

There are two kinds of love,

...the official and the unofficial.

If you are married, It's called cheating,

...if you are single, a romance

Women came up with those names.

Oh, what makes you so so sure?

One is innocent until is proven guilty.

Try it, you understand? Proven guilty

"Then why did I try?" to escape with the other woman?

In any case, who Did he poison her if not him?

Nobody else wanted get rid of it.

- Looks like he did it. - Nothing has been proven.

I still say he's innocent.

Do you know?

Right now, in this moment,

if the old man with the big scythe appeared and told me: "Bonaker,

...they fit you exactly 2 minutes of life,

...what do you say, guilty or innocent?" Do you know what I would say?

I don't know.

I can't know, I haven't yet heard his side of the story.

You look like you've already taken A decision, Mr. Gaskin.

Not 100%, Mr. Bonaker, but yes to 99%.

That prosecution lawyer It has him well hooked.

He's playing with him.

It can be twisted, but he can't let go.

�They don't know the history of the fish that escaped?

I'm not saying he's guilty.

For all I know, you may have 100% right.

101%, Mr. Bonaker.

That prosecutor is so nasty like a truck full of monkeys.

He knows what he's doing.

Well, I would like to say that...

...I don't believe in capital punishment.

�It means that even if guilty shouldn't they hang him?

My conscience is against it.

Today it is debated whether it should capital punishment exists.

Do you think they will win? I am referring to those who want to abolish it.

You know as much as I do.

If they win, he believes that capital punishment Will it be abolished immediately?

Things take time.

So Robert Strood would be the last man to hang.

It's quite an honor.

The last man to hang.

I'm calling Elizabeth Anders.

�Elizabeth Anders!

Elizabeth Anders.

Leave your bag, please.

Take the book with your right hand and read the card.

I swear before almighty God...

...that everything I am going to declare...

...it will be the truth, the whole truth,

...and nothing but the truth.

Well, Miss Anders, you say who doesn't have time to get married.

What does that mean?

I'm an artist, that's my career.

You don't have time to get married,

...but yes to seduce a man married and take him away from his obligations.

I think I don't understand you.

I suggest that you do have time to separate the affection...

...of a man for his wife.

I protest that question! It's not a fair question.

I must understand that my colleague accuses me of not being a fair person?

My colleague can understand whatever you please.

I indicate, Your Honor, that any insinuation about this woman's morals...

...it's tremendously free.

You will have the opportunity to make his speech later,

...Mr. Harcombe.

Jury members,

...must take into account and remember that this is not a moral court.

Don't let your moral disapproval influence the assessment of the facts.

You can continue.

Miss Anders,

...when Mr. Roderick was detained at the airport,

...was found in possession from a bottle of pills.

His name was on the label.

Well yes.

I gave them to Mr. Roderick the day before.

He seemed to be on the edge of a nervous breakdown.

No matter what it seems or pretended to be.

Those pills were sedatives, Isn't that so?

Yes.

Oxazolam.

Yes, Oxazolam.

What did he tell you about the doses? of those pills?

I told him that more than two it would be dangerous.

Very dangerous.

Those pills killed to Mrs. Strood.

Did you know that?

I know it now.

Miss Anders,

...�would you say that the basis of a happy marriage...

...is it love?

Yes, totally.

Your Honor, I protest that the witness speaks on a topic irrelevant to the case.

My colleague himself protested in the same sense.

On the contrary, Your Ladyship.

The supposed reason for this Murder, if it was,

...was Miss Anders' wish and the accused to marry.

will demonstrate that there was no such reason.

You can continue.

Would you say, just In his opinion,

...that it is possible to love to someone faithfully,

...selflessly and with complete devotion,

...even before getting married?

Yes, of course.

Even without getting married?

Yes.

Like serious music,

...he has his job and his career.

It's true.

"That is why I discarded marriage,

which is a race in itself?

Yes.

Were you contemplating getting married? with Mr. Roderick?

No.

It was out of the question.

I told him myself.

Are you contemplating marrying him now?

No.

So there was no reason to wanting to keep Mrs. Strood out.

None, there never was.

And giving Mr. Roderick these pills...

...Oxazolam,

...�I was motivated only by your desire to help you get better?

Yes.

Seeing him suffer hurt me.

Because you loved him.

Because I loved him.

A few moments ago, He told my colleague...

...which Mr. Roderick heard him say that there was a sedative in the milk.

I suggest it was impossible that he heard him.

I know he heard me.

I told him there was a sedative, I told him to his face.

The door was not closed, Mrs. Tucker, when did you say that?

No.

Mr. Roderick had returned to the your wife's bedroom, right?

He had taken her out of the room.

I almost closed the door on him the noses, right?

The door was open, He listened to me.

I knew the sedative was in the milk.

�There is a possibility that is she wrong?

It's the truth.

He murdered her!

He had been with Mrs. Strood for many years, since I was a girl.

It must have been very proud of her.

I was.

I should have loved her like his own daughter.

That's right.

There can't be many things that I wouldn't have done for her.

There's nothing I wouldn't have done, I would go out of my way for her.

He would go out of his way for her.

You protected her.

He made sure that I was well cared for.

Yes, she was everything what he had in the world.

And if someone hurt him, You would get revenge, right?

Yes, that would do.

If necessary, I would even lie, wouldn't I?

Yes, I would lie, I would lie for your memory!

I would feel like I owe it,

...if with that lie,

...could punish that one who considers that it hurt him,

...in this case, her husband.

But I don't have to lie About this, sir, it is not necessary.

All I have to do that is telling the truth.

He knew he had put a sedative in milk,

...he heard me perfectly through the open door.

I killed her deliberately.

I killed the only person that he had in the world.

The only one that...!

The witness must be limited to answer the question.

And now, let's go with his story...

...about the attempted murder with a shot by the accused.

When did this happen?

It was the night when Mrs. Strood He told him that it was blocked.

Did you say it was paved?

In a familiar way, Your Ladyship.

But he said road.

It's the same, Lady, a commonly used vulgarism.

It's new for me, I must say.

You have the advantage, Mr. Harcombe.

So we must understand that Mrs. Strood...

...she told her husband that she was pregnant.

And what do you suggest? what happened then?

I heard two shots.

I went to the room,

...and there he was with the gun in his hands.

He saw me and kept it in the pocket.

I went up to Mrs. Strood and he was crying.

But she wasn't shot.

No.

I tried to call the police but he didn't let me.

- Didn't I leave him? - No.

He snatched my phone of the hands.

You hate Mr. Roderick, Isn't that so?

That's putting it mildly.

I would do anything to cause him It hurts, doesn't it?

I would like to see him...

Thank you, Ms. Tucker.

Madam, this is all from of the accusation.

Lady,

...before opening the case for defense,

...I would like to express that my client He has no case to answer.

That statement is serious, Mr. Harcombe?

Absolutely, Lady.

I can suggest at least a dozen in different ways...

...in which Mrs. Strood could find his death.

All of them consistent with the tests and...

...no connection to the accused.

I think that should decide the jury, Mr. Harcombe.

I will let the case continue.

Lady,

...�can I request a break to discuss a topic...

...of great importance with my client?

If that's what it's about,

...and in view of the time,

...I postpone the trial until tomorrow in the morning.

What you have told me gives you a focus completely new to the case.

- I was totally serious. - Without a doubt, without a doubt.

But the prosecutor won't let that stop your attempts to tear him apart.

I will take that risk.

If you fail, you may be hanged.

Still, I will take that risk.

You are a player, me too

And we agree In what do I provide evidence?

One more thing before to respond to that.

You don't have to try his innocence,

...the prosecutor is the one who has to prove his guilt.

The jury's verdict is not...

...guilty or innocent, but guilty or not guilty.

Now,

...�why help the prosecutor by leaving What can I question him?

What he will try to get me to say when he has me on the stand...

...is not going to help you try that he is guilty.

Very good.

As long as you are aware of danger that you are going to run,

...I totally agree with you.

I will sit him on the stand as soon as the trial resumes.

Let's talk about your meeting with Detective Sergeant Bolton.

What more can I tell you?

Your statement is correct.

As soon as I spoke, I...

...I had a feeling of alarm about my wife.

And when the agent told him that was dead,

...what was your first thought?

For a moment, I couldn't believe it.

Then I thought I should be a suicide.

Wait a minute, Mr. Harcombe.

I would like to hear from the accused expand on that statement.

Lady,

...she seemed at the same time excited and relaxed.

Totally different from how had been previously.

He was putting pressure on me. for him to leave her.

It must have come to a sudden decision to...

...surrender.

I don't know if I'm explaining myself, but...

...I felt guilty for his death.

I felt like a murderer because I thought that...

...had taken her to take your life

Detective Sergeant Bolton told us that upon hearing of his wife's death...

...you said: "It was those pills I gave him."

Was that like that?

I guess so, probably.

No guessing.

Was it, or was it not?

If he says so,

What made you think that? before hearing anything?

That could be the way of the death of his wife.

I was confused,

...it was a tremendous impression.

But did you know that yourself...

...had administered two Oxazolam pills.

In addition to the dose that Mrs. Tucker had given him...

...and I knew that it could turn out to be fatal.

I didn't know anything about the dosage Mrs. Tucker had given him.

I already heard the statement of Mrs. Tucker saying...

...who warned him that he had put sedatives in the milk.

Mrs. Tucker was out of the room.

�You really expect us to believe that in such an important matter...

...Mrs. Tucker wouldn't worry What would you have heard about?

That is clearly an issue that The jury must decide, Sir John,

...not the accused.

Of course, Your Ladyship.

And I would like you to know how to do it.

Sir Roderick,

...it never occurred to him...

...than the death of his wife Would they solve their problems?

No, never!

You have already heard that there was no no marriage matter.

I suggest that you,

...knowing that Mrs. Tucker had managed...

...a dose of sedatives Mrs. Strood...

...according to the instructions of the Dr. Cartwright,

...I thought I couldn't be discovered...

...if I administered another dose of the same drug.

No, that's not true!

My colleague has suggested that,

...and I remind you that it continues under oath,

...his manifestation of not knowing of Mrs. Tucker's warning,

...is a deliberate distortion of the truth.

That's not true, I don't have reasons to lie.

I wish I had listened to her.

Daphne would be alive.

It means that your life would not run danger in this court.

No, I mean that I have given myself He realized that he loved Daphne.

I have never really loved to no one else.

I never could.

They have heard the accusations by the Prosecutor,

...they have also heard the defense allegations.

Now it is your duty to retire and deliberate...

...your verdict.

The accusation is murder.

The most serious of all crimes.

Without a doubt, all of you are aware of the debate that took place yesterday...

...in the House of Commons and the result of it.

These topics should not be taken taken into account by you...

...when they examine the evidence,

...because they will examine them at light of the law as it is.

You may think that in general The accused has responded...

...to questions honestly.

And you may think, however,

...that in a point or two He was a little evasive...

...or not entirely convincing.

His knowledge of human nature,

...of its own nature,

...will help you decide.

The essential question they must decide,

...it is yes, according to all the evidence that you have heard,

...has been proven beyond...

...any reasonable doubt,

...that the accused committed the crime of which he is accused.

If you are satisfied, like I said, beyond...

...beyond any reasonable doubt,

...that this is so,

...then you should not hesitate issue a guilty verdict.

If on the other hand,

...if at the end of your deliberations they have doubts,

...they should not hesitate to give him the benefit of the doubt to the accused.

How much longer is it going to oppose the rest?

- What do you mean by opposing? - What else do you call it?

Or maybe he's trying to impress us with the strength of his character.

It's simpler than all that.

I think he is not guilty.

Not guilty.

Who else killed her?

That's not the question.

The question is whether he did it.

Not that it should be him because not no one else comes to mind.

One moment...

But all the facts point because he did it.

Pointing is not enough.

The fact that he could do it does not indicate that he has done it.

I am convinced that I should have done it, There is no other way for that death.

I am willing to admit that could have killed her.

But I'm far from convinced that he tried to kill her.

Thousands of people die every day.

It refers to people who dies on the roads.

Nobody kills them, They did not intend to kill them.

They just die, right?

Yes, they just die.

I know that, it's my job.

What do you do?

I am a gravedigger.

But don't see me as that old man with the great scythe.

Speaking of jobs, Mr. Bonaker, That reminds me that I have too.

We all have a job and we would like to return to it.

It seems to me that our work is found right here.

We have to decide whether to hang a man for the murder of his wife.

It could cost us a few more hours, but to him all his life.

I really believe...

...that we should go back to review all the tests.

And see if we can, all of us,

...be completely sure.

- If you heard what Mrs. Tucker said... - Well, of course he heard it.

She called him a liar when He said he didn't hear her.

It is terrible to think that the Mrs. Tucker was lying.

I'm not so sure he heard her, She might have thought that she did hear him.

I'm sure he heard it.

Even behind a closed door.

You're going to have to prove it to me.

Good.

I will do it.

You will be Sir Roderick and I Mrs. Tucker.

- That seems fine to me. - Good.

I just brought the milk for Mrs. Daphne.

Now it's starting to take me out the room and I'm already out.

And start talking while I close the door.

And remember, speak loudly. normal, not screaming.

Good.

I brought Ms. Daphne...

Are you satisfied yet?

That he could hear him through the door...

Oh, I see.

But don't forget,

...Mrs. Tucker said that the door was open.

You have to prove that Mrs. Tucker I'm lying, Mr. Bonaker.

For me, it's as if they were both lying.

What I want is to try further beyond all reasonable doubt...

...that Strood murdered his wife.

�Beyond� everything reasonable doubt!

We all swore to do that, and I keep my oath.

Everyone is sure he did it, safe and convinced.

Just for a reason He is already a murderer.

�They never had a fight with a relative, with a wife, a brother or a son?

They didn't make them so angry that they wanted to kill them?

- Well, I... - What does that prove?

Does that prove he's a murderer?

And you, young man?

She is very young and sweet.

But I bet there have been moments in your life...

...in those you have desired kill someone

Am I right?

There is that sad issue of that son that was never born.

That son that Mrs. Strood said that he was going to have and never did.

That destroyed him when he heard it.

"It wouldn't break anyone to believe who is going to have a child...

...and then find out it was a lie?

Yes, that happens like that.

I know.

You are a man of the world.

I've never heard a wife forgive to her husband for falling in love with another...

...because I loved him enough How to understand him?

- Is it something impossible? - No, it is not impossible at all.

I know a case.

And you, Mr. Gaskin,

...he seems like a noble and honest young man.

But tell me this:

If by chance you fell in love from another woman,

...�wouldn't be your first thought take out his wife?

And what does all this have to do with it?

Everyone here, except you,

- ...he thinks he's guilty. -Believing is not enough!

I could believe it's you a hypocritical loudmouth and a braggart.

- You what? - No offense.

It is an example.

It should make him swallow every one of those words, Mr. Bonaker.

And I wouldn't blame him since They are not proven.

That's how I see it.

Let's vote again.

Please have the spokesperson of the jury stands up.

They have reached an agreement about the verdict?

Yes.

How do they declare...

...to the accused on the stand, guilty or not guilty?

Your Ladyship, we We declare not guilty.

You're crazy if you go back to that huge and empty house.

It's my home, where I belong.

To sit there alone?

You will go crazy.

There are certain things What should I attend to?

Thanks again.

I prayed for you to die.

I wish I had done it.

The jury swore they would find a fair verdict.

They swore it by Almighty God.

They found him not guilty.

I wanted them to hang him.

Well, Mrs. Tucker...

I know what I'm saying.

I have done something terrible.

Really?

And what about what I have done?

You haven't done anything.

I killed her.

No.

You didn't kill her.

What?

What does it say?

I will never forgive myself when I tell him.

No, you didn't kill Daphne.

Then who?

I made him believe that he had killed her.

You believed it, everyone believed it.

But I'm the only one who knows the authentic truth.

What happened?

What happened to him?

Answer me!

She is not dead.

Isn't it...?

Isn't she dead?

I will take you to her.

Do you know what he brought me?

He knows it.

Aren't you coming with me?

No, I brought him to her, He doesn't need me anymore.

Wish me luck.

Good luck.

So my message reached him.

Yes.

Now they are together.

Good.

Well, I'm ready.

Well let's go.
