Bedelia (1946) - full transcript

Bedelia Carrington is living happily, it appears, in Monte Carlo with her husband Charlie Carrington. But a cultivated young artist, Ben Chaney, begins probing into her past with curious concern. Chaney, who is really a detective, learns that Bedelia's obsession for money has led her, in the past, to husband-poisoning for the insurance money.

Bedelia

This was Bedelia,beautiful and charming

She radiated a curious innocence

immediately fascinated those she
attracted like a poisonous flower

I first met her in Monte Carlo that's where
the strange story of Bedelia begins

Monte Carlo in the autumn of 1938

Oh Mr Chaney,Monsieur Martin
is in the office

Thank you

What a lovely little dog,you
must have one like that

Entre

-Monsieur Chaney
-Bon giornio Monsieur Martin



-How are you
-Excellent,thank you

Will you not sit down?

I see that you have found a friend

-What a lovely creature
-Yes,isn't she

My poor,innocent young
friend I fear for you

There is not a woman in Monte Carlo,
that not will be attracted by that dog

Do you think so?

You are just in time

The lady should be here any moment now

Will you introduce me?

Yes,of course if she is
interested in your offer

Even if she is not I still like to meet her

Your letter of introduction only
says that you are acting for Verrefour

Now please,Mon Ami,tell me,
is it a pearl you after or the lady?



We all have our secrets,Monsieur Martin

Of course,of course if you
wish but I warn you

that if it is a lady than you are wasting
your time,there is no chance for you

You don't know me,Monsieur Martin

No,but I know my customer

she is on her honeymoon,and it seems,
unhappily for you,to be a very happy one

You told me she was married before

First honeymoon is one thing,
second can be very different

Oh Madame Carrington you
understand is not a divorcee type

Her first husband,who died,was rich,oh very
very rich but her new husband she loves

Too bad

The lady and the pearl are both here

She brought me a black pearl

one of the most perfect I've ever seen
and asked me to design a setting

Just one note,I will see
what I can do for you

Bon jour Madame

Are you satisfied?

More than satisfied,I'm delighted

I have never seen such a beautiful setting

Worthy of such a pearl and
for the hands that'll wear it

-It's lovely
-Permetez,un moment,s'il vous plait

Oui,Monsieur

It is without a flaw

-Madame,should you ever wish to sell it?
-I shan't ever

But if you should,Madame,
you will give me a chance?

My offer would be generous

How much?

100 000 francs

100 000 francs

No,Monsieur Martin,sorry,
this pearl is not for sale

You send my bill to the Imperial Hotel?

Of course,Madame,I hope Madame
is enjoying her stay in Monte Carlo

-Very much,thank you,Good Bye
-Au revoir,Madame,au revoir

Madame Carrington,excuse me please

Monsieur Carrington left a message,
he is in the Salon De Lecture

-Thank you
-Madame

-Hello
-Hello,darling

Had a nice afternoon,
what have you been doing?

Nothing,a little bit of
window gazing thrown in

I bought this

What a lovely toy,who for?

For me,I love dolls

You are a child,aren't you,Biddy?

I love you when you call me Biddy

What have you been doing?
Not writing letters all afternoon?

What's that?

Oh,my camera

Ellen send it,thoughtful of her,wasn't it?

Ellen? Oh,yes your ex

No darling,not my ex
I told me my junior partner

Oh,well,she is something to do
with your stuffy old business

-Steady,hold it
-Charlie

Don't

What is it? What's the matter?

I don't like having my photograph taken

You don't? Why not?

I'm not photogenic

Who told you that?

Several cameras

Not this one,this camera can't lie

No,I say

Darling,that's absurd

Something happens to me
when I look into a camera

I'd sooner face a dentist
than a photographer

I haven't got a single picture of you

Haven't you something better?

You've got me

-Let's go out
-Can I bring my camera?

If you promise confine yourself
to picture postcard views

Is my bill ready,Madame?

Yes,Monsieur,here it is

We are sorry you are leaving us

Have we not made you comfortable?

Very comfortable,thank you Madame

-Then I hope we shall see you again
-I hope so too

I'm just leaving for business reasons

-Voila,Madame,that's yours
-Merci,Monsieur

What do I change your post?

Would you send them to
Hotel Imperial,please

Yes,most certainly,you will
ruin yourself there

I think it'll pay me in the end

-Merci,Madame,Au revoir
-Bon jour,Monsieur

I'll go and get the letters,
order some drinks darling

What for you?

That's a very serious question

I know,whisky soda?

That's a new idea I married
an original woman

Shan't be long

Madame, acceptable cette table,
la soleil ne derange pas Madame?

Non,pas de tout,j'adore le soleil

Madame,boirer?

Pernod,s'il vous plait,un whisky soda?

Immédiatement,Madame,à votre service

Hello,where did you come from?

Je trouve,eh, cette dame,tres bonne

-La Madame,she is.
-Oui,Madame,ravissant,I speak English too

It's really very good,she is
attractive,isn't she?

You will be wasting your time,
she is on a honeymoon

Is she?

Just to say I'm,can I ask her
to have a drink with me

You like to hire a dog?

What?

I have it on the very best authority

There is no crudeness,no vulgarity

when a small dog introduces a
gentleman to a strange lady

May I offer you William?

Thanks I risk it alone

You mind if I come along to
observe your method?

If you don't pull it off
I'll send you a drink

BTW my name is Chaney,Ben Chaney

Mine Carrington

Haven't I met you somewhere before Madame?

Oh,no I don't think so

Wasn't it in Paris?

Paris?

Oh,yes,of course

Then I heard you are
here on your honeymoon

I hope you would be very happy

I'm sure I shall I married the
most wonderful man in the world

This great and wonderful man has

Betty,may I present
Mr Chaney,Mrs Carrington

I see now I know you didn't need a dog,hi

-What do you have?
-A whisky

-Another whisky
-Oui,Monsieur

Mr Chaney is an artist,darling,
he's done an awfully clever sketch of you

I see

Mrs Carrington doesn't
share your enthusiasm

It's not your fault,Mr Chaney,
I'm very hard to draw

Do you think so?

She has some sort of obsession,thinks she
is not photogenic either,it's absurd

Betty,what's this?

Oh that? I've had it for ages

Well,I've never seen it before

Oh,it's a cheap little thing I picked
up in Paris cost about 40 francs

I don't like to see it on you,darling

Why not?

I don't like artificial jewellery

Everybody wears nowadays,very chic

I'm sorry I maybe old fashioned I don't
like my wife wearing imitations

I'm sorry you disapprove of my taste

Mrs Carrington is quite right,
she is not an easy subject

There you see Charlie it's
not just an obsession

But she is a very interesting one

-Am I?
-To a painter

Your colours,magnificent,
your lines tempting

I'm speaking as an artist now

I'm about to paint you

Would you sit for me?

Of course she'd be delighted,
won't you Biddy?

I'm flattered but I shall have
to think about it

I must go and change,nice
meeting you,Mr Chaney

Would you dine with me? I'm staying here

Oh,good,we will

Come up to my room first and have a
drink I'd like to show some of my works

We have a date for tonight

Thanks all the same,some other time Chaney

Have you ever seen so blueish eyes?

She is plain

She doesn't,she's perfect

Aren't you beautiful? I wish I
could take her back with me

You can't,you know,what about
the quarantine regulations?

Always get round those

It isn't as easy as all that besides
she doesn't even belong to you

Charlie

Darling

Noted anything?

I notice a very lovely hand

That silly old ring,I'm never
going to wear it again

Because I criticized it? Oh,Lord,
did that worry you so much,darling?

You married a bit of a prig ,you know

You were quite right,your taste
is much better than mine

I see

Entrez

Ce la Souffage ,Madame

Madame est vraiment tres
gentile avec Souffage

Madame,permettez peu prendre maintennant

Dites moi,Ninette,combien
demandez vous por sa chat

Je regret,Madame,ce pas de vendre

-Mais je vous paie bien
-Non Madame,vous vraiments,Mon mari..

Don't you argue about it,Biddy,
you can't take that cat into England

It's easy to hide in my bag and
flirt with the custom inspectors

No you won't not when
you are with me

Oh,all women smuggle a bit,didn't you know?

-Here you are,Ninette
-Merci,Monsieur-Thank you

-Bon soir Monsieur,Bon soir madame
-Bon soir

I shall miss Souffage

I think you are horrid

Oh Darling,you don't really
mean that,do you?

Charlie,even when I tease you,I love you

You know I do?

I'll have a bottle,please

-Just to round up the celebration,Biddy
-Celebration?

-Our second wedding anniversary
-Second?

Two months today

Well,well,still happily married

You know,looking at you two,even a
hardened bachelor like me has his regrets

When I started out on my holiday
I didn't think I end up married

You'll fall for it too

And then you'd found out
how much you missed

Marriage is like religion,no one
is so zealous as the new converts

Don't you agree?

I'm the only convert,my wife
have been married before

I am so sorry,Mrs Carrington,I'd no idea

Don't worry,Mr Chaney,
how would you to know?

Anyway I think it a little to be
embarrassed about past

I couldn't agree with you more

Would I make things worse if I said I hoped
the past was the happiest presences

Most of it was very happy,Charlie is
making forget the past that wasn't

Her husband was an artist in Paris

We had very little money and it
made things a bit difficult sometimes

I know what that can be like

Other way I wonder why I know
you first husbands works

I doubt it

He would have been a great painter had
he lived,he was just beginning to sell

His name Burgess,Raoul Burgess

No,I don't think I ever run
across anything of his

If you ever do will you get it for me?

My wife hasn't one of his paintings

Of course I will

-For your anniversary
-To our guest

To Bedelia and her portrait

BTW how is it going?

Slowly,rather slowly

Excuse me will you

Mr Chaney I'd rather you didn't
go on with my portrait

Why not?

Don't like the thing it makes me nervous

You wouldn't deprive posterity
of my masterpiece?

Posterity is not worth my
getting a headache every day?

But your husband is so keen on it

You want to please him,don't we?

Listen

Remember?

They were playing this when we first met

Shall we dance?

Anything wrong?

He'll charge you with an enormous
fee for painting my portrait

What makes you think so?

I know artists,they don't
stay in hotel like this

unless they are looking for a
chance to portrait rich men's wives

But I am not a rich man

He probably think you are

this is a very expensive hotel and we
are spending as if we had millions

Well,you only go on your honey
moon once in your life

Oh,sorry,darling

It's very nice having money to spend but
I love you just as much if you hadn't any

Darling

All the same I shan't let him
charge you an outrageous fee

All right

Raoul Burgess

Headache again?

Tired

Just five minutes more

Bedelia

No one sitting for a portrait has any
right to look as enchanting as you do

Why not?

For the posterity it is perfect

You weren't happily married?

I'm saying more than I'm going to

Sometimes I paint what I think
what it was that I see

I find it fascinating to try and catch

not just the face and the figure of my
subject but to portray the soul of my model

To the artist you are a puzzling subject

How puzzling?

You ought to have red hair

Makes your colours next when
she was making you up

Biddy

What's the matter,darling?

How soon can you be packed?

-What happened?
-We are going home

Sorry to drag you from all of
this but I can't help it out

Has the directors accepted your plan?

They will.But I must be at the next meeting

-It means a lot to you,doesn't it?
-I pay more income tax

You're not deserting me?

What about the portrait?

Posterity will have to do without you

So unfortunately would I

I must trying to get up to
Yorkshire sometime and finish it

That's a great idea

The Dales are the painter's paradise
anyway he must come,mustn't he darling?

-Yes, you come
-Thank you

-But it's not possible
-Why not,we've plenty of rooms

Have you ever had an artist staying
with you?Not like having the vicar to tea

He's quite right,darling,artists want
lot of space to mess about him

Take that up to my room,will you?

Very nice of you but it wouldn't work

I'm afraid I should need a studio

We could find you a place in no time,my
partner knows every house in the district

Monsieur Dabergin,je ne veux par po Monsieur,
Madame Du Lac,ma chere Madame Du Lac

I'm afraid you've made a mistake

Madame,por l'amour de ciel

Pardon,are you not Madame
Turdeau Du Lac de Bordeaux?

No,no this is my wife

Pardon,I'm sorry

-But see you before we go
-Sure

Oh,Salaud

Cette inexcusable

I was certain she was Madame
Du Lac de Bordeaux

Don't worry we all make these mistakes

I know,I know but I worry
very much,Monsieur

Me,never forget a face

Make such a blunder

You seem disappointed did you
know Madame Du Lac well?

Oh,early husband was my very good friend

He left for paradise,his
widow left no address

You mean she disappeared?

Completely

Seems to have upset you?

Was it very important?

In itself no but in my business
we like to be correct and exact

Forgive me,Monsieur,what is your business?

Assurances sur la vie,
pardon,life insurances

Vous allez entendre maintenant

Nocturno lui par le Monsieur
Louis Stevens de la BBC Londres

Ben

Hello,I thought you were packing

-When are you off?
-First thing in the morning

I came down to talk to you

I'm honoured,have a drink?

No thank you

Shall we go out on the terrace?

Well?

Did you mean what you said
about coming to Yorkshire?

Yes I did

I wish you wouldn't

That's why came down,
what about the portrait?

Portraits are only an excuse

Excuse for what?

I want you to stay away from me altogether

Do you? Why?

I'm happily married,I intend to remain so

But your husband wants your portrait

That's not what you want

What do you think I want?

Charlie likes you,he thinks
you are his friend

I am glad to know that

He is not like my friends

When you are sincere as he is

it doesn't ever occur to you
anybody else can be deceitful

But you never deceived
your husband,Bedelia?

Bedelia

Just a minute

Where is that ring that little 40
francs trinket worth 100000 francs?

It's not true?

Monsieur Martin,the jeweller
is a friend of mine

He is also an expert on black pearls

Here we are,darling,home

Hello,Mary

We didn't expect you so soon Mr Charles

Darling I told you about Mary

she knows more about the characters
then all of the rest of them put together

OK,and also frightening with
any family skeletons

Carringtons have no scandals,Madam

You'd better be on your best behaviour,
Mrs Carrington,you've a tradition to uphold

There's never been a Mrs Carrington
yet who didn't do that,Mr Charles

And there won't be now

Thank you Mary

Welcome home Master Charles
Well,well,Hannah who are you?

Darling,this is Mary little sister she
comes in to help her when we need her

How do you do,Hannah

Well,darling

Good to be home again

Here it is

What do you think of it?

Charlie,perfect

That's what you burnt your initials

Yes,and got a jolly good walloping for it

You must have been a little horror

And there's the old clock

Why? It's going

You told me it had stopped

Charlie,I love it all

Do you?

I'm glad you didn't see it in
it's all Victorian grand years

Why?

It was a museum of horrors

It's a blessing that your poor mother
can't hear you say that Mr Charles

She liked things plain and solid

Proper Yorkshire,Mary

So she ought to be with ten
generations behind her

All credit to earth

Mary,I'm afraid your taste runs
to red plush settee ancestors

Ellen,dear

Charlie

You are looking well

Married to the great tonic,Ellen

Here she is,Bedelia

Hello

I've heard so much about you

I do hope you are going to be
very happy here,Mrs Carrington

I'm sure I shall be

What a lovely Siamese,may I?

Yes it is for you,from Charles

Charlie,thank you

Thanks Ellen,I never thought you
would find one in Yorkshire

It was a bit of a problem I admit,they
don't seem to go in for Siamese around here

Her name is Araminta

I shall call you Topaz

You've done a grand job on the house

Do you like it?

It looks like that they had the face lifted

I don't know what I'd do without you,Ellen

What do you think of the fireplace?

I took down the over mantel
I wasn't quite sure about it

It's a great improvement

Best I caricature it out of memorial

It's a blessing your poor mother
can't hear you now,Mr Charles

That over mantel was one of
the old museum pieces,darling

My grand father brought it from Italy

What other surprises have you got?

The dining room windows

You notice the difference?

I like it

Now you can really see the rose garden

Come and have a look at it

That is our show piece,isn't it,Ellen?

We are not being quite fair to the garden

November is the very worst
time of the year to see it

when the roses is in bloom it's divine

I'm sure it must be

Divine

-Good Afternoon,Mrs Carrington
-Hello,Miss Stenton how are you?

I can't complain,thank you,
Mr Carrington is not in

Where is he?

Down at the new Rosa

Is Miss Walker here?

No,she is with Mr Carrington

But they ought to be back
in a minute now

I'll wait

Hello,darling,this is a surprise

I've been shopping

You're going to drive me home

Of course,if you sit down quietly I got a
few things I want to clear up with Ellen

Bring her back with us,you can work in the
study and then she can stay on to supper

Well,we've got quite a lot to do

Please,darling

Jenkins

How is the arrangements for tomorrow?

Board meeting at 1030 12 at
Mr Johnstone about your insurance

-That's for you
-For me?

I'm increasing my life insurance

Darling

Anything else?

You saw a personal letter from Paris

-No,what is it?
-I put it on your desk

I can't see it

Here it is

Thanks Miss Jenkins

Hello,Bedelia

Here's the contract,Charlie

You are coming home with us

Am I?

Do come,you can finish your
work and then we'll eat

Well,I shouldn't really the Bennet usually
expect me to bridge on Monday

Tell them you have a headache

Oh she will get one if she plays
bridge with the Bennetts

It ought to be a good supper

it's Mary's night out and I'm
going to make this casserole

Your own treat Casserole
a la Bedelia,come on

-These are good,first rate
-Mean it?

I wouldn't say so if I didn't

Stuff only roughed out so far

I know,and got the Carrington touch really

That's good

I'm glad you liked them,it
was your verdict I wanted

Ready for a drink?

Yes thanks darling

Aren't you going to have one with us?

I felt I was interrupting your work

-No,of course not
-You're sure?

Quite sure,good work,Ellen,we've
got lot done,we deserve our drinks

-You know,you're very lucky?
-Me,lucky?

There is so much of his
life you share,that I don't

I forgot about this

Ah,Chaney

Well,cheers

Cheers

Great news,Ellen,do you know a
studio in the neighbourhood?

Studio?

For a painter friend of ours,
a chap we met in Monte Carlo

He is doing a portrait of Bedelia

How exciting,aren't you thrilled Bedelia?

Studio around here it is even harder
to find than the Siamese cat

Ben says he's never forgotten

what I said about the Dales the
painter's paradise,remember?-Yes

He can be with us for
Christmas,that'll be fun

Sends your loves to you dear

Does he?

He wants a cottage or a barn

that he can use as a studio,you
know,big windows,north light,all that

-Will you answer that,Hannah,please?
-Yes,Sir

Hello

That's me Hannah

I like it,yes

And he likes me too

He will have a real job of
it to get the place tidy

what with these brushes and
paints and canvasses and all

Yes,I expect I can manage that

Well I can ask him

Mr Chaney

Mrs Carrington wants to know

if you can spare me to go over
and help at the Christmas party

Certainly Hannah

Perhaps I can come with you in the car

A pleasure

Hello

It's all right,I can come

Good Bye,Mary

Don't bother to help me,dear,
I'll be perfectly all right

Here's the house or are you
trying to save some petrol

No,dear

Darling,what heavenly singers,
aren't they wonderful?

-Yes
-Give them something Alec

Here you are

Don't hurt yourself

-Merry Christmas,dear
-Merry Christmas to you Mary

-Can I take your coats
-If you don't mind

Thank you ,my darling

Are we the first arrivals?

Yes,Sir,Mr and Mrs Carringtons will
be down in a minute

Don't you worry about us,Mary

we'll be perfectly all right,
we look after ourselves

Charlie,the Johnstones are back from London

When we are taking that voyage?

But we've nothing for her

Well,it that so tragic?

We've presents for everybody else

We'll think something

Come on,darling,let's get down

Merry Christmas Bedelia

I love to see two adorable people again

I'm simply amazed to see me back in winter

Oh no,you should be here for our party

And the very,very first to know
we are not bolting after all

Alec paying far too much money

I knew she should finish up here

Bedelia,I got a really
little present for you

Thank you

But you must open it immediately we
are dying to see how you'll like it

She got it up in London

You please open it

Not now,we are ready to
open all our presents later

Are we all having presents?

But how nice

Do come and sit by the fire

Excuse me I'll get some drinks

Did you have a very gay time in London?

Gay? London? It was dour,dreary,
drab,cold,foggy,always is awful

Excuse me

Merry Christmas,everybody

Very nearly didn't get here

one of our patients had a little
Christmas surprise on the way

I hope it isn't born before the
Christmas trees are unloaded

How nice of you to come,Mr Wintermore

I couldn't miss coming

to wish you every possible happiness
on your first Christmas in the North

Hello,Vicar,so glad you
were able to come

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas

Biddy

Had an inspiration about Sylvia's present

-Tell you later
-All right

-Here we are
-Happy Christmas,Mrs Bennett

I'd no idea it would be such a grand party

Without Christmas is itself a
simple family celebration

-Happy Christmas
-Edward

-A little remembrance for you my dear
-Thank you

How sweet of you

Christmas comes but once a year

Dear Mrs Bennett,what a heavenly gown

That is really something
out of another world

Where ever did you get it?

Surely not in Leeds

What's the great inspiration
for Sylvia's present?

The pearl ring,that imitation pearl,
the one you had in Monte Carlo

We can't give her that

Why not?

You said it look cheap

Did on you,my dear,but won't on Sylvia

We can give her something else

Why I don't see why you are making so much
fuss about an old ring you never even wear

We can give Sylvia that ring
because I haven't got it anymore

What happened to it?

I've given it away

Why didn't tell me that in the first place?

You didn't give me a chance

I'm am sorry

No,darling it was my fault,
I should have told you sooner

We better join the others

you hand round the cocktails and I go
upstairs and see what I can find for Sylvia

Right

Merry Christmas ,Ellen

Same to you,Ben

No,Ellen,my darling how
wonderful to see you again

Sylvia,may I introduce Mr Chaney
Mrs Johnstone

-How do you do?
-Hi

Excuse me just a minute,
when I get rid of this thing

That gorgeous hunk of man

Tell me something about him,married?

Well,I haven't heard that he has a wife

Is he wealthy?Has he got any money?

Sylvia,really

Ellen,darling,don't be so naive

when a handsome man like
that comes to town like this

the girl's duty to know all the facts

I'm afraid I know nothing about him

You mean to tell me he never dated you?

Yes,I've danced him

Then you must know something about him

Well,he doesn't talk much about himself

How strange a man

Happy Christmas,Bedelia

Happy Christmas,Ben

Sir Chaney,some of your favourites

Bless,Salmon? Thank you Hannah,
you spoil me

Charlie,everybody come
and get your presents

-Our very best wishes
-Oh,Bedelia,thank you

And you,darling

What on earth are you doing?

Rehearsing

What are you rehearsing?

Well,if you whenever my wife still do it

you are prepared,and I have
to say,isn't it wonderful

Isn't that wonderful,Bedelia darlings
thanks millions and you too Charlie

We didn't know what to get
you,Sylvia,but they are so useful

You are opening my present,do,I'm
dying to see how you both like it

-Sylvia.look
-You shouldn't have

Why not? We both simply
adore Charlie and you

Yes,we can't deserve this

That must have cost the
Johnstones a pretty penny

None of our business

What got into Johnstone?

Why is he spending all that
money on a present to the Carringtons?

To tell you the truth

I'll try to show my appreciation for
all the activity given me lately

I couldn't afford to increase my
insurances,busies as it is

Good old boy if you are married to Bedelia

He has just taken out an
enormous policy in her favour

Wise man

Life insurance is the
best investment of all

What do you say,Vicar?

You must have seen many men
die leaving his widow

-I say
-She is very sensitive,I think

-Eh,Doctor?
-Yes,I think she is

Sylvia would only ask,how much?

Party is going very well,isn't it,darling?

Yes

I wonder what is this from?

Oh,Ben

Mr Chaney,I simply die to ask
you a question,may I?

Please do I hate to have a body on my hand

Why ever did you come to Leeds?

Any particular reason why I shouldn't come?

No,perhaps can't imagine anybody
coming for no reason at all

You are here,aren't you?

Oh Chaney,why do you care?

Ay,say,Biddy,look

It's beautiful

Do tell me,why are you here?

You'll be surprised,excuse me

Almost anybody can cut me out

Good thing I am my own type

-You like it?
-Thank you Ben

Is it one of yours?

Don't you recognize it?

Raoul Burgess

37 that's only a year ago

One of his last,painted about
a month before he died

Yes,yes of course

Where did you find it?

In Paris,just after I left Monte Carlo,you
asked me to look out for Burgess,remember?

-Yes
-Bit of Luck wasn't it?

I told Monsieur Pichard I met
you,he send his regards

Thank you

Pichard,who is he?

The man who bought Burgess's pictures

Excuse me

I'll do that,Hannah,you go and help Mary

I simply must look at the picture

Splendid

Mind you,I don't understand
art but I know what I like

What's wrong,Bedelia,you seem nervous?

This is our first party

I wanted it to be a success

I'm sorry if I brought back unhappy
memories,I didn't mean to

Am I forgiven for choosing
that particular present?

I'm extremely grateful

Charlie seems to like it,that
must make you very happy

Naturally

I agree with you about,Charlie,he is so
honest himself,one hates to deceive him

If you don't mind

I've never seen you look so lovely,Bedelia

Even lovelier than that last
night at Monte Carlo

Oh,Bedelia,Charlie was wondering,
if it's time for dinner

I just finished lightning the candles

So they look nice

Would you mind open the doors?

Come on in everybody,dinner

Bedilia you were a wonderful hostess

I can't remember a gayer
party in this house

We must have another one soon

What's the matter?

I wish I could go away

Biddy

I though you were happy here

Aren't you?

Oh Charlie,tell me you don't
ever stop loving me

My darling what?

What's wrong? You are not ill are you?

No,no I'm all right

But you are white as a sheet

It's nothing

Something I've eaten probably

You'd better go straight to
bed I'll bring you a powder

This awful bubbly thing of yours?

-They helped you before,didn't they?
-Yes

Come along

I'll just cease the fire

-You're sure you'll be all right?
-Yes,yes I'm sure

Charlie

Charlie

Mr Chaney you haven't eaten your porridge

That comes from all the smoked
salmon you had at the party last night

I liked smoked salmon,Hannah,
I don't like porridge

When you've been here a bit you'll eat your
porridge in the morning like we all do

Hello,hello who is it?

It's you Mary?

See?

Mr Carrington?

That's bad

Food poisoning? Well is
there anything we can do?

Would you like me to come over and
help you? Mary? Hello

He must have,she know that
everything is happening to Mr Carr..

-Oh,Mr Chaney
-Good Morning,Mary

Hannah gave me the news

How's Mr Carrington?

Oh,Mr Chaney,he's poor all night

Did you get the doctor?

He couldn't come he was at
Mation's Bed,he is here now

What does he say?

Oh,all them fancy foods last
night that's what I say

Mrs Carrington must have been worried

How has she'd take it?

I wish you'd seen her,Sir,if he hadn't
been for her he would be laid out by now

What exactly did she do for him?

Whatever she did was right I'm sure of that

wouldn't you like to wait in the room,
Mrs Carrington will be down in a minute

Thank you,Mary

Good Bye,Charlie we'll have
you up and about in no time

Tell me,Dr McAfee,please

How bad is he?

I'll be honest,I don't know yet

But it's no use,you
worrying until I do know

Is it something you're
afraid to tell me?

When he feels better I'll give
him a thorough overhaul

You could have seen him last night

It was probably something he eat

Good Morning Bedelia,I'm sorry to
hear about Charlie,anything I can do?

No thank you

You must have had a bad night

-May I?
-Thanks

How's the patient doctor?

Getting along pretty well,thanks
to this little lady's good sense

You must try to get some rest my dear

Aren't you having a nurse?

I don't need one

Don't you think it would be
a good idea,doctor?

There is not much to do,Bedelia
has proved she is very capable

But she looks worn out

I prefer to look after my husband myself

Then you shall,my dear

-Good Bye
-Good Bye

-And thank you for everything
-Take care of yourself

I look in again tonight

Good Bye Mr Chaney

Doctor,may I have a word with you?

I've a fairly busy morning

You're driving into town can I come along?

All right

Bye Bedelia

But I fail to understand your
interest in this case,Mr Chaney

Charlie is friend of
mine,doctor,and I think..

That's no reason why you should
tell me how to diagnose a case

Don't misunderstand me
doctor,I am not criticizing

It's just that there is something
I think you want to know

There is nothing about Charlie
Carrington that I don't know

I pulled that boy through
diphtheria and measles

the day he was born I held him by he
heels and I slapped the breath into him

What are you trying to tell me,Mr Chaney?

What's this?

Investigator,detective?

Look here,what is all this about?

I made this for you darling

Please try and drink it

I can't understand why Ellen hasn't phoned

You are not to worry about the office

Darling,this is serious,a load
of timber from Scotland

There it is again

But it means a lot of money
and why hasn't she phoned

Because I told her you're
not to be disturbed

Now drink your barley
water it'll do you good

I am not as ill as all that

You were last night,you
frightened me Charlie

All right,Bedelia,I'll drink
your barley water

If that's Ellen I'll not let her worry you

Don't be so jumpy,darling,
you need rest more than I do

Come in

-Dr McAfee to see you,Madam
-What does he want?

He didn't say nothing

Hello,I had a call up the road

and I thought I pop in and see
how you are getting along

You said you weren't
coming back till this evening

I changed my mind about the treatment,
in fact I engaged a nurse she is on her way

Don't you think I'm the best nurse
for my husband you said before

Take it easy,darling

Sit down

What's the idea am I ill as all that?

Better safe than sorry

The after effect of food poisoning

sometimes need watching
more carefully than one expect

And it's for Bedilia's sake
too,Charlie,she needs rest

That's what I said

How long have you been
having these troubles before?

A few weeks,months perhaps,
didn't bother me very much,

Bedilia's giving me something for it

What does she give you?

It's just a sedative I take it myself

It works,very good stuff

Made up in Paris?

It's a prescription my doctor gave me

May I?

I like to find out about one
of this miracles of yours

Try and get to sleep,
Charlie,you too,Bedilia

The nurse shall be here at six and she will
be in complete charge,you understand?

-Good Evening
-Good Evening

I'm Miss Walker of Carrington's Company I
telephoned you several times today

Yes,Miss

Have you any news about that
load of timber from Inverness?

I've got the dispatch note here

-I talked to the station master,Miss
-Yes

He'd like to see the dispatch note

-And this is nurse Harris
-How do you do?

How do you do

Mrs Carrington quite understand now that
you are in complete charge of the patient

Mary what are you doing?

Making the bed of the new ,Mum

But the nurse is to sleep in there?

She told me make the guest room up for you

For me?

Doctor's order,Mrs Carrington

The Chemist's boy just brought this,Madam

Anything on account of Mr Carrington,Mary,
should be given to me

Excuse me,is that for Mr Carrington?

Yes,I thought he might like
some gruel today

The doctor told me exactly
what to give him,Mrs Carrington

Steady,darling

I'm going to get your milk,Mr Carrington

How long is this going on?

I don't know,darling,why don't you get
rid of her,you are so much better

Yes,I'll have a talk to Dr McAfee

Here it is

Will you drink it now please
it's your bedtime

Yes I suppose so

-Good Night
-Good Night,darling

Sleep well

-Good Night,nurse
-Good Night

Then what do you think I discovered

they made a mistake and
sent the stuff to Leeds

Are we going to get it,every minute
means money down the drain

We've got a claim against
them for what is worth

but I suppose as usual
the railway will be right

I'm afraid so

Come in

-Mr Chaney,Madam
-Ask him to come up

That's not necessary,may I join the party?

Of course Ben

-Hello Bedilia
-Hi Ben

-Hello,Charlie,how are you?
-I am fine,won't you sit down

Thanks

You certainly look better than I expected

So I ought to,three devoted women
looking after me night and day

I was so worried when I
heard you engaged the nurse

-I thought you m..
-At death's door,eh

Otherwise a Yorkshireman
wouldn't coddle himself

Of course I wouldn't agree
if my wife hadn't forced

Oh now darling

-BTW how is the portrait coming along?
-It isn't

My model has been on holiday,when
are you going to sit again,Bedelia?

How about tomorrow?

It'll be a change for you,darling

This our nurse

Nurse Harris,Miss Walker

How do you do?

How do you do

And Mr Chaney

-How do you do
-How do you do

Time for your medicine,Mr Carrington

Nurse Harris look very efficient,Bedelia

Where did you find her?

If I am ever ill I must ask you
to get someone like that for me

Dr McAfee recommended her

-Good Afternoon,Miss
-Hello,Hannah

-Is Mr Chaney in there now?
-Would you like to go in?

Thank you

-Hello,Ellen
-I hope I'm not disturbing you

No,not at all

Glad of the excuse the lights gone anyway

-Let me take your coat
-No thank you

Won't you sit down?

Ben,I've come to ask you something,
it's rather important

Wouldn't it be easier sitting
down? Have a cigarette?

This is rather difficult for me

I don't like interfering in
other people's affairs

but this time one of my
best friend is involved

Involved in what?

I don't know,that's why
I've come to see you

There is something odd going on

-In Leeds? Never
-Please don't be flippant

You know perfectly well what I mean

There is some sort of an intrigue
and that woman is in it

What woman?

The nurse

Intrigue with nurse Harris?

Why should you think that?

Because at the station you
obviously knew her well

But at Charlie's house you pretended
you never even met her before

Dr McAfee engaged Nurse Harris

Aren't you letting your imaginations
run away with you?

You can't put me off like that,
why did you try to deceive Charlie?

Bedilia was there too,wasn't she?

What do you want to do? Warn Charlie?

Yes

You'd better be careful

You can't do that without
bringing Bedilia into it

-I know what I am doing
-Do you?

Could look like jealousy,couldn't it?

I shall risk that

All right,you are going over
to tell him right away?

Yes

I'll come with you

Should be an interesting party

Everything looks so lovely
covered with snow

I was brought up in Cornwall,
we don't see much of it down there

Do you think we are in
for a blizzard,Charlie?

-Looks very much like it
-How long would it last?

Two days maybe three

Do the roads get blocked?

If it is a bad one

Let's have a look at the forecast

I hope the train doesn't get held up

I've got a friend coming
down from Edinburgh

More tea,Ellen?
Yes,please,just half

Heavy snow,I doubt your
friend will make it

I expected him just after Christmas
but he got held up by storms at sea

He's a ship's captain,interesting chap,
I'd like you to meet him

By all means bring him on sometimes

I'd think you would find him amusing

His name is Cpt McKelvey

Mrs Carrington the tea

How silly of me

I must be getting along,thank you
for your tea,Bedilia,Good Bye

Good Bye

Why don't you slip in to
do the portrait again?

I hate leaving things unfinished

I'll let you know

Ben are you going into town?

Sorry,I'm afraid not,Ellen,
I'm going straight home

I got to get through a call to Edinburgh

We'll come and dig you out in the morning

-Right.Good Bye Charlie
-Good Bye

Will you excuse me

Are you all right,darling?

I've a slight headache,
it's nothing I lie down for a while

Good Bye,Ellen,come again soon

Good Bye

You mind switching on the lights,nurse

Don't go,it's early yet

-Charlie
-What is it? Something wrong?

No it's nothing

I must go it's getting dark

Ellen

Have you noticed anything
peculiar about Bedelia lately?

Peculiar?

She is so nervous not like herself at all

I thought it was the shock of my illness

but she seems to getting
worse instead of better

I wonder if you could talk to her

Me?

You women talk more easily
about these things

try to district her,get
her out of the house

perhaps she was to start
sitting for Ben again

You will have a word with her,won't you?

Yes,of course I will if you want me to

I knew you would help me

You are coming to the office tomorrow?

No,the doctor said I would take it easy
for a bit you come here,please do

Charlie,whenever you need me I'll be there

Never heard you talk like that before

Good Night Charles

What time does the train
leave for London?

Tonight

8 45 and 1130 Thank you

Yes

You rang Madam?

Oh yes,Mary,could we have early dinner

and then you could wash up
before you go into town

-But it isn't my evening off,Madam
-Isn't it?

Oh,take it anyway didn't you say once
you wanted to see your cousins

Oh Yes Madam

You haven't had an evening off
sine Mr Carrington been ill

It's very kind of you,Madam,
but really I think..

What's for dinner,Mary?

Well,you ordered beef for us

I don't know what she is
planning for Mr Carrington

Mr Carrington will have beef as well

But what would she say with the
duties,responsibilities and doctor's order

We thought we would have early dinner,Mary

Forty year I've lived in this house

the only person I took orders
from was the Mistress

And I gave you my order

-What's that?
-An omelette for Mr Carrington

But that's absurd Mr Carrington
isn't ill any longer

Fish out the beef,Mary

I will that

I'm sorry,Mrs Carrington,as long
as I am on this case I'm responsible

You are not responsible for
running this house,nurse

I'm getting tired of your interference and
I'm not going to stand it any longer

I'm not trying to run this house
and I'm not interfering

What's all the fuss about

I'm sorry darling I lost my
temper but this can't go on

Mr Carrington,it is my duty

Please

Mr Carrington it is clear

Charlie

-Send her away
-We can't do anything tonight

Yes,you can,there is a train at 845

Mary,ring for a taxi

Nurse Harris she can just catch the 8 45

Am I being dismissed?

Mrs Carrington and I are very
grateful for all you've done

but we shan't require your
services any longer

-I'm responsible only to Dr McAfee
-I'll settle with the doctor

Now will you please go and pack

Mr Carrington

-More coffee?
-No thank you darling

You can take it away now

Where are you going,Mary?

Mrs Carrington said I should go
and see my cousins

There is a taxi there and
I will go with that nurse

The weather?

She could spend a night with her
cousins and come back in the morning

Very well

Look her Biddy every time I hear this tune
I think of the first time I ever saw you

Remember?

And that enormous black hat you had on

You did look sweet you know

Charlie let's go away

Go away?

Please take me away tonight

You can't be serious?

Charlie,please take me away

Biddy what come over you?

I don't like it here

But this afternoon you were
in love with the place?

You are not afraid of the storm are you?

Don't you love me any more?

Of course I love you but what's
that got to do with it?

We could go to the Continent,
France,Charlie,the South of France

Darling I am not made of money

Or America,The Queen Mary sails on Monday

we could stay in London until
then couldn't we?

You've gone quite mad

You don't love me anymore

This is utterly absurd I've never heard of
anything so ridiculous in my life

Biddy,darling,if you tell me
what's the matter

I'll help you as I can ,I can't go away
for holiday this time of the year

I've got work to do

Charlie,Charlie don't ever believe
in anything Ben tells you

Ben? What's he got to do with it?

He wants to hurt me,he worm our lives

Can you please explain all this

without becoming so hysterical
please try and be reasonable

I don't want to stay here any longer
we could so easily go tonight

Biddy I will not talk to you anymore
until you come to your senses

This is the national program

here is the weather forecast for
tonight and tomorrow

a deep depression over Iceland is heading
fast east and towards the British Isles

Winds North North West reaching gale forces

You here? What's wrong?

I got the sack

I thought it safer to come
rather than phone

With a small town like this you
never know whose is whose cousins

Mrs Carrington has had that on the 8 45

On my way out here I stopped
to report to Dr McAfee

Why?

My duty as a nurse,the
analyst's report has come

-Well?
-Negative

You heard what he said
about you,Mr Chaney

Flattering?

He thinks you imagined the whole thing
and he is sorry he ever listened to you

I didn't imagine Charlie's illness
what is his final verdict on that?

Stomach ache and in case you
ever get it he sent you this

Biddy

Bedelia

There are still a couple of details
I would like to get straight

-Which one fired you?
-He did

Put she put him up to it

But it was her idea to
get rid of Mary too

Get rid of Mary? Where is she?

Staying the night with the cousins,
Mrs Carrington arranged that

Why didn't you tell me that at once?

-Well
-I'm so sleepy

Is that all you have to say?

I was naughty wasn't I?

-Are you angry with me?
-No I'm not angry

I would like some sort of explanation

Why did you do it?

You were unkind,Charlie,you shouted at me

Biddy,look at me

I don't understand

You can't go rushing off into a blizzard

just because I refused to listen to
some crazy idea about a holiday

Charlie I love you so terribly I'm so
afraid I am not good enough for you

Please be sensible

I am not intelligent like you are

I can't talk about the
things that interest you

whenever I see you with Ellen I
realize what you must miss in me

Biddy,Biddy tell me honestly
why did you run off?

Well

Before I married you,please don't
be angry with me for saying this

I was poor and lonely you were attractive
I liked you but I didn't love you

I can tell you this because
now I do,desperately

And?

And when I found that I loved you like that

I was frightened and I promised myself

whatever you got tired of me or was sorry
you married me I'd run away,it's all

But Bedelia you wanted me to go with you?

And you wouldn't

All right

Try and get some sleep now

What are you doing here?

Are you all right,Charlie?

I said what are you doing here?

I was passing and saw your car,
I just wondered if you were all right

What happens? Why are you so interested?

Now I know you are all right
I'll be getting along

No,stay where you are

I want to talk to you,now

-Well
-What have you done to my wife?

What do you mean?

Why is she afraid of you?

Afraid of me?

Tell me,Charlie, what has happened?

She tried to run away

Blame me for it? What has she told you?

Don't hedge,you've done or
said something that terrified her

and damned you going
to tell me what it is

All right,Charlie,I'll tell you

But believe I didn't want to

You remember at tea time I
mentioned the name James McKelvey?

Yes

You remember I told you
he was a sea captain?-Yes

His family were chemists in Edinburgh

James McKelvey run away to sea,
but Hugh the brother stayed on

under his management the firm grew
more and more prosperous

He was a bachelor until he was
48,he disliked women

That's why it was such shock
when he got married

And the greatest shock
when we saw the bride

So much younger than he was,and a red head

We all wondered why she married him

You don't mind me saying so,Cpt?

The brother was hit in his ways

He was devoted to his work

Often he worked here all through the night

And he keeps his work sitting there,
the very spot where you are now

This were her room

It's just as it was,nothing been touched

I want it to be kept like that

How she loved her pretty things

It didn't seem wrong she was
such a pretty creature herself

Didn't you think so,Cpt?

How old was she?

I couldn't say somewhere in her twenties

The only thing didn't understand was that
red hair,do you think it was natural?

I'd admired Maureen's hair,you see I
always had a weakness for red haired women

A photograph of Mrs McKelvey?

I've never seen one

She wasn't photo,what was
the word she always said?

-Photogenic?
-Yes,that was it

Some people,you know,even if they are
handsome,don't take a good picture

I'd sooner face a dentist
than a photographer she said

Did she?

A terrible shock for her when her
husband was taken so sudden

A shock for me too

He's never been ill in his life

I was away in the Caribbean when
I got news of my brother's death

It was food poisoning

It was lucky for Mrs McKelvey
that fish didn't agree with her

I made a chop for her that night
I remember it as it was yesterday

-Maybe she return some day
-She won't I feel it here

The shock of her husband's
death was too much for her

No.It wasn't that

McKelvey was highly insured,you see,

He increased his policy
after he married Maureen

There was another case

You remember the Frenchman we
met in a hotel at Monte Carlo?

One who thought he recognized
Madame DuLac of Bordeaux?

Why are you telling me these stories?

Because they are facts

After you left I went over to Bordeaux,
the case was almost identical

Madame DuLac husband died
suddenly on Sunday evening

DuLac née en Bordeaux,
marié,voila Monsieur?

In correct it's simply my routine

Rien de extraordinaire,apoplexie apres
une attaque indigestion acute

Immediately after the inquest

the company is always prompt
about such things

you know we send the wife a cheque

for the sum Monsieur DuLac
had assigned to her

but he had another policy a small
one which he had neglected to assign

part of which should have gone to the widow

we needed a signature,but she'd gone away

-She left no address?
-No

Her lawyer couldn't trace her?

No relations or friends except some
people her husband had introduced her to

I often,Maxime why did she marry him?

After his death we could not console her

One could understand her
wish to go from home so quickly

but we have heard that she
did not once write us a little letter

I often think of her poor woman

They needn't voice that sympathy,
her husband was insured for 15000 £

The most recent case,the one
that led to this investigation

concern Arthur Jacobs,a Manchester man,
died in January almost a year ago

Also heavily insured

How do you know all this?

Similarity with them Jacobs
case and the others

Especially McKelvey so striking

that I was instructed to conduct
a complete investigation

I see,so you've been lying to
me since the day I met you

Ben Chaney the charming artist

Coming up here as my friend, get out

Arthur Jacob's was a jeweller

And he died in January

That's interesting,very interesting

Last January a man called Raoul Burgess
and his wife were living in Paris

There never was a Raoul Burgess

Our agent combed every studio in Paris

No one had ever herd of him,
I painted that picture

And I faked the signature

I don't believe you

Mrs Jacobs like all the other wives

had left all her possessions behind
except for one thing

That was to valuable to leave,
Arthur Jacobs gave her a black pearl

Ring was worthless,she gave it away

Who to?

We traced that pearl to Monte Carlo

You are wrong you know,
you've no proof of anything

We've no proof of crime yet

but if James McKelvey shall
identify her brother's widow

criminal proceedings would follow

I had enough,get out

I found that bag by the car

I think you'd better look inside

Charlie

Charlie

Have you been down here all night?

You poor darling you must
have fallen asleep in the chair

Aren't you're going to say Good Morning?

You feel better when
you have your coffee

I'll go and put it on Mary didn't get back

Isn't it quiet after that dreadful storm?

I was so frightened

The road has vanished
there is not a trace of it

We must be snowed out

We are cut off and alone

Now you look much better,nice and smooth

It'll do your good

I know what's upset you

It's that silly old ring,isn't it? That's
why you are angry with me

I was naughty,darling,I did mean to
give it away but I do love pretty things

I know how you hate a lie

that's one of the things I admire
so much about you,your honesty

But I didn't want Sylvia to have my ring

You do understand don't you?

I wonder how would you
look with red hair?

Would you like me to dye it?

McKelvey's wife had red hair

Sit down Bedilia

Why were you so upset yesterday
when Ben mentioned Cpt McKelvey?

Why do say I was upset?

I'd never heard of Cpt whatever his name is

Mckelvey's brother was your
husband wasn't he?

What a silly question?

You know Raoul Burgess was my
only husband besides you dear

Listen Bedelia,we got to talk this out

I hate that wretched ring I wish
I had given it to Sylvia

It has never brought me
anything than bad luck

Arthur Jacobs gave it to you,didn't he?

It's worthless you couldn't get
five pounds for it in London

So he did give it to you?

You got to stop lying to me

Ben Chaney is a liar I warned you about him

he's been against me from the beginning

What about Jacobs why didn't you tell
me that you were married to him?

It was so awful Charlie,
he was mean and cruel

I had to forget

That seems hard to believe

You married me under a false name

Burgess was my maiden name

Perhaps not even
legally married at all

I don't want any marriage
but to you,Charlie

What about the others?

They were no others
only Arthur Jacobs and you

I've got such a headache

What about McKelvey,what about DuLac

were they so mean and cruel that
you don't want to remember them either?

-I'm innocent
-Innocent of what?

I hate men

There wasn't peace so I wish
all the men were dead

Yes,you had a hard time hadn't you?

I didn't chose them

They came along they wanted me

The real story of your life must be very
different from the one you told me

If I had ever the thoughts she had
I would be good enough for you

-She?
-Ellen

You don't know,you,your world,
it's all so sweet and lovely isn't it?

Your world is so nice,jam and sweets
everyday tables for Christmas

My grandfather brought me
the over mantle from Italy

The gardens divine when
the roses are in bloom

-Divine,divine
-Stop it

Quiet

Quiet

Darling

Say it Charlie

Say quiet Charlie

Quiet,darling

Oh Charlie you are so good to me

I never knew a man could be like you

Why didn't I meet you before

Don't leave me

You needn't be afraid

I'd never hurt you

Don't ever stop loving me

Good Morning Mr Charles

wasn't it a terrible storm,the buses
couldn't get through the snow

Thank Mr Jones,you are welcome

Good Morning,Madam

I'm sorry I was so late,but
that was providence

Grocers couldn't deliver today

What have you brought Mary?

It isn't all ours,I phoned Hannah

I brought it back to see if they
were wanting anything,it's lucky I did,

because Mr Chaney has a gentleman
for lunch,it's that friend of his the Cpt

he's been excepting all the week,
he came last night by the 11 o'clock train

but they had to stop at the hotel
because the roads were blocked

I got them some of that smoked salmon

Mary,let me

Hannah is sending a boy for
Mr Chaney's basket,

will you put it on the table Mr Charles

Mrs Carrington looks poorly this morning

Yes,she's got a rather bad headache,Mary

Good Morning,could we give any help?

No thanks I've got somebody coming along

Can you please direct
us to Brecknall house?

Yes,about half a mile up
the road on the left

Many thanks

-Lovely morning isn't it?
-Yes it is

Mary have you seen Mr Carrington?

Yes,Madam,he's gone out to the car

Thank you

Would you go up and do my room?

Yes Madam,should I finish the washing
up,it'll only take two minutes?

-No,leave it go to my room at once
-Yes,Madam

Only there'll be a boy calling to pick
up this stuff,it's for Mr Chaney

Don't worry I'll give it to him

What are you doing?

I came down to feed Topas

We'd forgotten about her

Why didn't you call Mary?

Mary is busy we are very late this morning

I mustn't keep Topas waiting

I'll get some sardines

She seems to doing pretty well for herself

Charlie stop her

You had it,Ben can't eat it now

-Don't let her have it
-Why?

-Please stop her
-Why?

I think you better start packing

Darling are we going away?

Bit of a hurry,there won't be much time

I knew it,I knew you'd change your mind

I shan't be going with you

I die without you

You wouldn't let me go alone?

You won't be going alone

You turned against me too

But you made a mistake

You are wrong what happened
downstairs,you don't understand

I'm afraid I do

The poison was meant for Ben

Charlie I'd made a decision I'm
going to give you my money

Every shilling of it,it's all yours

-That money
-45000£

45000 £ you are mad,absolutely mad

You'd never stop loving me Charlie

I loved the woman that doesn't exist

Yes,hello Ben

Yes I know it's here

Any time you like,come now

You're not give me..

I couldn't stand it

Ben hurts me

I'm not strong

-I know
-Yes I know

I never told you I kept it from you
so you should not worry

-But it freezes,I'm
-Incurable

I'm sorry to disturb you Madam,you
forgot me to tell me about lunch

Lunch?

Yes

First course soup

Mushroom omelette

Old Mr Charles always liked that,Madam

-And cheese and biscuits
-Yes,Madam

Anything else?

Yes,Mary,there is something else

Will you make a phone call for me?

Of course I will,Madam

Mr Carrington doesn't like eating alone

would you ring the office and
ask Miss Ellen to come?

Miss Ellen? Won't you be here,Madam?

No,Mary,you'll look after them

There were no mystery about
her motives,she killed for money

But there were still an enigma,the enigma
of a soul of a human being to commit murder

Bedilia could caress and with the same
soft hands poisoning in cold blood

In that delicate balance of good and evil

Life the deepest of human mysteries

The problem that no detective,physician
or psychologist has ever solved
