00:01:00The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out
00:01:14In your stomach and out your mouth
00:01:17And your stomach and out your mouth
00:03:17Great.
00:03:19You've finally come to take me home with you.
00:03:23I'm so happy, Daddy.
00:03:25I could explode.
00:03:27We don't explode just yet.
00:03:29We've a long drive ahead of us.
00:03:31Besides, Susan, young ladies who are about to graduate from high school do not explode.
00:03:39Well, you've grown some, Susan.
00:03:43I hardly recognize you.
00:03:45Hello.
00:03:47Aren't you going to kiss your mother?
00:03:51Francine's not my mother.
00:03:53My mother's dead.
00:03:55Isn't she?
00:03:57Well, yes, of course she is, darling.
00:04:03We're still going to be friends, aren't we?
00:04:05Are you going to be my governess again?
00:04:07Susan, I know I can never replace your real mother.
00:04:09But if you'll let me, I want us to be friends.
00:04:15There's Jenny.
00:04:17I have to say goodbye.
00:04:18Jenny!
00:04:19You must forgive Susan.
00:04:26You must...
00:04:27How shall I say?
00:04:29You must hear what she says with your heart.
00:04:32Of course.
00:04:34It is as I told you.
00:04:36One moment she may act perfectly normal, the next...
00:04:40We appreciate your concern, sister, but I can assure you she will have the best of care.
00:04:45You must remember Susan went through a terrible ordeal, so terrible that the memory of her experience was wiped from her fragile mind by shock.
00:04:54And even though it has been three years since the accident, the tragic death of her mother has left scars that still pain her in the dead of night.
00:05:04Is she still having those nightmares you wrote us about?
00:05:07Always vivid, horrid nightmares.
00:05:11Perhaps if you would have been able to visit her, even to write more often.
00:05:17Yes, but we've been traveling a great deal since...
00:05:21I am sorry.
00:05:22That was unkind of me.
00:05:24But there are times when the phantoms of the past tear at that poor child's mind.
00:05:30There are times when she seems on the verge of...
00:05:34Remembering?
00:05:36Oh, heaven forbid she remembers.
00:05:41No God in his mercy so fit to make her forget.
00:05:45And, Mr. Shelley, it is wrong of you to tamper with God's judgment by taking her back to the place where it all began.
00:05:53We're not going back to Flagmore House because we want to, I can assure you.
00:05:57You must do what you must.
00:05:59I have to return to the other children now.
00:06:02Goodbye.
00:06:03Thank you, sister.
00:06:05Goodbye.
00:06:06Susan, time to go.
00:06:20Au revoir, Susan.
00:06:22Gardez-vous bien sûr.
00:06:24Soyez gentil.
00:06:25Goodbye, Sister Renée.
00:06:27Bye, Eva.
00:06:57Oh, my God.
00:07:27Good Lord, Anthony.
00:07:39We had no idea.
00:07:41Nobody told us.
00:07:43Not a word.
00:07:46He's in the salon, waiting for you.
00:07:49You could have written us about it.
00:07:59Yes, I even meant to have my picture taken and enclose it with a letter.
00:08:02Unfortunately, the postal authorities don't allow pornography in the mails.
00:08:07Well, aren't you going to kiss your cousin?
00:08:10I know it's not much help if there's ever anything we can do.
00:08:17You've all done quite sufficient, as it is.
00:08:21I'll get your luggage, Francine.
00:08:23Oh, excuse me, it's Mrs. Shelley now, isn't it?
00:08:25You're late, Mrs. Shelley.
00:08:45Oh, sorry, Mr. Cleveland, but there was a lot more red tape and paperwork involved in getting Susan released than I anticipated.
00:08:53Excuses never plowed a few, Mr. Shelley.
00:08:55I'm a busy man.
00:08:57Now, if you can get Judge Henley to pay me overtime to work as court trustee for your daughter's estate,
00:09:04then I'll be very glad to listen to all the excuse me's and sorry's you care to come up with.
00:09:11Let's get on with it.
00:09:14You, Mr. Shelley?
00:09:14Yes, this is my wife, Francine.
00:09:17How do you do, Mr. Claiborne?
00:09:19I've seen you before.
00:09:22Maybe.
00:09:24I used to live in this house.
00:09:27Francine was my governess.
00:09:29Took Jessica's purse, huh?
00:09:32You'll have to work very hard to be the woman she was.
00:09:36Step here, girl.
00:09:38Come on, girl, come here.
00:09:41Now, Susan, when your mother died,
00:09:43she left this house and a lot of money.
00:09:48And at the time,
00:09:51when the will was read to those interested parties,
00:09:54you were, well, you weren't here, you were in that place there.
00:09:58The convent?
00:10:00Oh, that's what they call it, huh?
00:10:03Well, we can call the town graveyard.
00:10:05Sleepy Pines, I guess.
00:10:08Wherever you were,
00:10:10I guess we can call that a convent.
00:10:11At any rate, at the time,
00:10:14you were no condition to understand the terms of the will.
00:10:18So Judge Henley's instructed me to read you the will
00:10:21now that you're in a clearer frame of mind.
00:10:25You know right from wrong?
00:10:27Right from wrong?
00:10:28Oh, when somebody kills somebody for no good reason,
00:10:33you think that person should be punished.
00:10:38Come on, girl, come on.
00:10:41Can't be too hard to decide whether a killer should be punished.
00:10:47Well, answer the man.
00:10:48I suppose.
00:10:52You suppose?
00:10:56It seems to me a very sane answer,
00:10:58considering the world we live in.
00:11:00Yeah.
00:11:02Yeah.
00:11:02In her will, Jessica left this house
00:11:07and the land around it
00:11:08for the state to be used
00:11:10in some civic or cultural manner,
00:11:12upon my advice, of course.
00:11:14Otherwise, the tax buy to Miss White Elephant
00:11:17will, well,
00:11:18eat up the entire $100,000
00:11:21at your father's bequest.
00:11:24Well, it would have
00:11:25wiped out the half a million dollars
00:11:27in bonds and securities
00:11:29left to you and your inheritance.
00:11:30Oh, and let's not forget
00:11:32the generous $500,000
00:11:33she left to me.
00:11:34Less taxes, of course.
00:11:37We've been all through that,
00:11:39Mr. Flagmore.
00:11:41You want to contest the will
00:11:42again,
00:11:44that's your right.
00:11:45It'll do you as little good
00:11:46as it did the last time.
00:11:48I wouldn't think of making
00:11:49any more trouble for you,
00:11:50Mr. Claiborne,
00:11:51or for anyone else come to that.
00:11:54As you can see,
00:11:55I'm quite content.
00:11:57Yeah.
00:11:58Yeah, where was I?
00:12:00Somewhere between
00:12:01a white elephant
00:12:02and a half a million dollars.
00:12:04Oh, yes, money.
00:12:06The money's yours, all right.
00:12:08But you can't touch
00:12:08a penny of it.
00:12:10Because it's in trust
00:12:11to be held
00:12:12until your 25th birthday.
00:12:14Only thing you can spend
00:12:15is the interest
00:12:16on schooling
00:12:17and medical needs
00:12:18and things like that.
00:12:19Is that clear?
00:12:20Now, the main reason
00:12:21for this meeting
00:12:23is to
00:12:23give an answer
00:12:25to one question.
00:12:27Go on, live in this house.
00:12:28Do I what, sir?
00:12:31Well, girl,
00:12:32I'm speaking English.
00:12:33Do you want to live here?
00:12:35I don't understand.
00:12:37Let me.
00:12:38Uh, Susan,
00:12:39come on over here.
00:12:42Sit down there.
00:12:42You see, dear,
00:12:47although your mother
00:12:49willed the house
00:12:50to the government,
00:12:51she left the furnishings,
00:12:53furniture,
00:12:54the paintings,
00:12:55antiques,
00:12:55and all the rest to me.
00:12:57But to protect
00:12:58your interests,
00:12:59she made
00:13:00one important stipulation
00:13:02that the state
00:13:03is not to take title
00:13:04to Flagmore
00:13:05as long as
00:13:07you want to live here.
00:13:09which means
00:13:10your father
00:13:11can't solve anything
00:13:12off this place.
00:13:14Because Judge Henley
00:13:14ain't got it in mind
00:13:15to let you
00:13:16live in a house
00:13:17shed of every bit
00:13:19of decent comfort.
00:13:20Mr. Claiborne,
00:13:21please.
00:13:23As a matter of fact,
00:13:24dear,
00:13:24I, uh,
00:13:25I, uh,
00:13:25have to sell
00:13:27the paintings
00:13:28and the furniture.
00:13:29I, uh,
00:13:29I need the money.
00:13:31It seems I, uh,
00:13:33I was rather foolish
00:13:34with the, uh,
00:13:35funds your mother
00:13:36left me.
00:13:36I, uh,
00:13:37I made some
00:13:38pretty bad investments.
00:13:40Mink coats,
00:13:41foreign cars,
00:13:42high living
00:13:43in all those
00:13:43foreign countries.
00:13:45Some kind of
00:13:45$100,000 investment
00:13:47appears to me.
00:13:48I don't recall
00:13:49having asked you.
00:13:50News gets around.
00:13:52The point is, dear,
00:13:53I, uh,
00:13:53I haven't very much
00:13:55money left.
00:13:56I must
00:13:57sell the furniture,
00:13:59but, uh,
00:13:59I need your permission
00:14:01first.
00:14:02My permission?
00:14:03For heaven's sakes,
00:14:04yes, Susan,
00:14:05your permission.
00:14:05It's demeaning enough
00:14:07without having to
00:14:07drag it on.
00:14:08We're tired.
00:14:09If you need money,
00:14:10Daddy,
00:14:10you can have mine.
00:14:12Not a chance, girl.
00:14:13Like I said,
00:14:14every penny of your
00:14:16inheritance is tied up
00:14:18in the trust fund.
00:14:19It can't be touched
00:14:20unless you become
00:14:21totally incompetent.
00:14:22That means crazy.
00:14:24Or unless you die.
00:14:26Mr. Claiborne,
00:14:27I said...
00:14:27I know, Mr. Shelley.
00:14:31It's unpleasant.
00:14:32But some things
00:14:34are better said
00:14:35straight out,
00:14:36so there's no
00:14:36misunderstanding.
00:14:39And, Susan,
00:14:39the law is the law.
00:14:42And it's better
00:14:42to understand its meaning.
00:14:44Now, if you should be
00:14:45sent back to that
00:14:46convent permanently,
00:14:48or if you should die,
00:14:49the estate passes
00:14:50on to your father.
00:14:51If, on the other hand,
00:14:52your father should die also,
00:14:54whatever's left
00:14:55goes to Anthony Flagmore
00:14:57as the sole surviving
00:15:00blood relative,
00:15:02less taxes, that is.
00:15:03And the burial expenses,
00:15:05of course.
00:15:06What is it, girl?
00:15:08Yes or no?
00:15:10Whatever my daddy wants.
00:15:12Done.
00:15:13Yeah, like pulling teeth
00:15:15out of a jackrabbit.
00:15:19I'll have the papers
00:15:20signed sometime next week.
00:15:21Next week?
00:15:24Mr. Claiborne,
00:15:25that'll be too late.
00:15:27What do you mean
00:15:28too late?
00:15:30Well, the sale starts tomorrow.
00:15:32I already sent out
00:15:33the announcements.
00:15:35All right.
00:15:37I'll get the judge
00:15:38to sign the release
00:15:38first thing in the morning.
00:15:42Pretty sure of yourself,
00:15:43aren't you?
00:15:50Pleasant mixture of charm
00:15:51and hospitality,
00:15:52wasn't he?
00:15:53Take Susan to her room.
00:15:56Susan!
00:15:57That table would be fine
00:16:04for the odds and ends.
00:16:06Antiques,
00:16:07silverware,
00:16:08anything that you,
00:16:09uh,
00:16:09find in the attic
00:16:10and cellar.
00:16:13My God,
00:16:14how she would love.
00:16:17What?
00:16:18Do you remember
00:16:18how they would all
00:16:19flock to this room
00:16:19and Jessica would hold court?
00:16:21She'd sit right over there
00:16:22like a queen
00:16:22and match wits
00:16:24with all the idiots
00:16:25and country bumpkins.
00:16:28Yes,
00:16:28they all came here once.
00:16:30I'll come again.
00:16:32One last party
00:16:33at...
00:16:34Susan!
00:16:36Susan!
00:16:36Susan!
00:16:37See if you can find
00:16:38some boxes and crates
00:16:39to, uh,
00:16:40pack the things in.
00:16:41Edward!
00:16:42Edward!
00:16:47What's the matter?
00:16:49It's Susan.
00:16:49Anthony, just what is the meaning of this?
00:17:12I thought it would be appropriate.
00:17:14Tomorrow is the anniversary
00:17:16of Jessica's death.
00:17:23It's, uh,
00:17:24time to go to bed, dear.
00:17:27Do you think
00:17:28Mother is still angry
00:17:29with me, Daddy?
00:17:31Why would, uh,
00:17:33why would you think
00:17:34a thing like that?
00:17:36I don't know.
00:17:38Oh, your mother loved you,
00:17:40darling.
00:17:40Yes.
00:17:44She did, didn't she?
00:17:48I, uh,
00:17:50think we'll all feel better
00:17:51after a good night's sleep.
00:18:07Susan,
00:18:08do you care to see
00:18:09your mother's room?
00:18:09I've had it restored.
00:18:14I'd like very much
00:18:15to see it.
00:18:16No.
00:18:17Uh, no,
00:18:18I, I, I think not.
00:18:19Why?
00:18:19I'm rather curious
00:18:20to see it myself.
00:18:22Well, maybe, uh,
00:18:23maybe, maybe tomorrow.
00:18:25What are you afraid of?
00:18:27Ghosts?
00:18:27It's the same, Daddy.
00:18:40It's the same.
00:18:42Yes, exactly the same.
00:18:45Just as it was on the night
00:18:55of the fire, isn't it, Susan?
00:18:57Oh, it's so beautiful.
00:19:01The drapes were the most
00:19:02difficult to reproduce,
00:19:03but I finally found the material
00:19:05in New Orleans.
00:19:07Took the way in one of those
00:19:08quaint little shops
00:19:09near the Latin Quarter.
00:19:10Your humors were the grim, Anthony.
00:19:12It wasn't done for compliments, Francine.
00:19:15Another tribute to Jessica?
00:19:17Yes. I think she would have liked it this way.
00:19:21I find it in very bad taste.
00:19:23I also find your return to this house in bad taste.
00:19:28Susan, time for bed.
00:19:31Anthony.
00:19:35Was this where you found her?
00:19:37Yes. But I never did reach her.
00:19:47Because you see, Susan,
00:19:49it was a blazing inferno,
00:19:52and very much what hell must be like.
00:20:01It's all right, dear.
00:20:03Go to your room.
00:20:07Just one thing, Anthony.
00:20:17There'll be no more raking up of the past. Do you understand?
00:20:19I understand one thing.
00:20:21The past is like a tiger.
00:20:23No matter how you pet it and pretend that it's tame,
00:20:25one day it will turn.
00:20:27No, I'd be careful of the past if I were you, Edward,
00:20:31because it's here.
00:20:32Here in every stone and every timber of this estate.
00:20:35A estate which is more mine than yours.
00:20:39Or is.
00:20:57It's a big mess.
00:20:58It's not funny.
00:20:59Yes, sir?
00:21:00Yes, sir?
00:21:01That's fine, sir.
00:21:03I'm jealous.
00:21:04I'm jealous.
00:21:06You know, you know, a big fill.
00:21:07I'll be jealous, too.
00:21:08I'm jealous.
00:21:09You can't stay jealous.
00:21:10I'm jealous.
00:21:11I'm jealous.
00:21:12I am jealous.
00:21:13I'm jealous.
00:21:15You may be jealous.
00:21:16I'm jealous, too.
00:21:17I'm jealous.
00:21:18Feel right.
00:21:19I'm jealous, like, you know, without fear,
00:21:21just like, that's a big deal.
00:21:27Come on, let's get rid of it!
00:21:57It was a blazing inferno, what the hell must be like.
00:22:04Can't be too hard to decide whether a killer should be punished.
00:22:08Killers should be punished, punished.
00:22:10Killers should be punished, punished, punished.
00:22:13In your stomach and out your mouth.
00:22:15It was a blazing inferno.
00:22:18And very much what the hell must be like.
00:22:21The world is crawling, the world is crawling.
00:22:24Can't be tested, no greater.
00:22:26Let you die, let you die, let you die, let you die, let you die, let you die, let you die, die, die.
00:22:32Killers should be punished, killers should be punished, punished.
00:22:36Somebody kills, somebody kills, somebody kills, kills, kills, kills.
00:22:41Right from wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.
00:22:43Yellow, yellow, yellow.
00:22:45No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:22:47Yellow, yellow.
00:22:49Right right.
00:23:13What did he mean?
00:23:22About what?
00:23:23About the past.
00:23:28Here, you need this more than I do.
00:23:30If you just give me a chance once in a while to blow off a little steam instead of always walking...
00:23:36I'm sorry.
00:23:37You're sorry, right or not?
00:23:39But it is true, isn't it?
00:23:43Is what true?
00:23:45Now, let me see.
00:23:46Is it true I made love to a bellboy at the hotel in Geneva?
00:23:50Or are you still wondering about that guy in Rome?
00:23:52Or the salesman in Munich?
00:23:54Was that true?
00:23:55I'll tell you something that is true, Edward.
00:23:57I'm sick to death of you and your jealousy.
00:23:59Just one thing.
00:24:00You mean to begin with?
00:24:01When I first brought you into this house as Susan's governess,
00:24:04you and Anthony,
00:24:06that was true, wasn't it?
00:24:08I won't give you the satisfaction of an answer.
00:24:11But even if it were true, what possible difference could it make now?
00:24:15I married you, didn't I?
00:24:16And we lived happily ever afterwards, didn't we?
00:24:22What happened to us, Francine?
00:24:24I loved you once.
00:24:30But you became poor.
00:24:33I became bored.
00:24:36So bored I could die.
00:24:42What do you want me to do?
00:24:45Cure me.
00:24:46How?
00:24:47I've tried every way I know.
00:24:49You've gone through $100,000 worth of remedies.
00:24:52What else can I do?
00:24:53I've already told you.
00:24:54Cure me.
00:24:55Well, I'm trying, dammit.
00:24:56That's why I'm selling everything.
00:24:58Will it bring in enough to cover expenses for the winter in Rome?
00:25:00No, it will not.
00:25:01But once I invest the money in some profits...
00:25:03Oh, I love Rome in the winter.
00:25:06Please find a way to get more money.
00:25:08There is no way.
00:25:10Of course there is.
00:25:12You have a very wealthy daughter, haven't you?
00:25:15Not until she's 25.
00:25:16You know the contents of the will just as well as I do.
00:25:19She's also a very sick girl.
00:25:21If she were to get worse...
00:25:24She would have to go back in there and I would get control of her trust fund.
00:25:27Is that what you mean?
00:25:30Darling, you're always taking the wrong view of things.
00:25:33The important thing is that Susan would be someplace where she's loved.
00:25:37If she were to have a relapse in this horrid house and have to be recommitted,
00:25:41You'd really be doing the poor child a favor now, wouldn't you?
00:25:45Think about it.
00:25:47It may warm you in your bed tonight.
00:26:11The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out, in your stomach and out your mouth.
00:26:38The worms?
00:26:39The worms?
00:26:44The worms?
00:27:09The worms?
00:27:10The ants are broke by the?
00:27:11The ants in theado...
00:27:12The worms can't do the empathically.
00:27:13Of course the worms
00:27:20…they can't come out if everyone could've bought crash.
00:27:22Finally, the worms are philosophers.
00:28:53Murder!
00:28:55Murder!
00:28:56Murder!
00:28:58Murder!
00:29:00Murder!
00:29:03Oh, my God.
00:29:33Oh, my God.
00:30:03Oh, my God.
00:30:33Oh, my God.
00:30:35Here you are, Mommy.
00:30:37Here you are.
00:30:49Susie.
00:30:51It was Mommy.
00:30:53I saw her.
00:30:55Oh, no, darling, no.
00:30:57It was Mommy.
00:30:59Come on, come to bed, dear.
00:31:01She was killed, Daddy.
00:31:03Well, yes, Susan, but that was a long time ago.
00:31:07Come on, come on.
00:31:09I understand.
00:31:11She was killed.
00:31:13Murdered.
00:31:15You're just imagining things, dear.
00:31:17It's true.
00:31:19It's true.
00:31:21Well, your fingers, you've...
00:31:25You've scraped them raw.
00:31:27How did you do that?
00:31:29It was Mommy.
00:31:31She was here.
00:31:33Come on, dear.
00:31:34Let's...
00:31:35Let's go.
00:31:36Come on.
00:31:37Go to your room now.
00:31:39I saw her face.
00:31:41I saw her face.
00:31:43One side was so pretty.
00:31:47The other...
00:31:49It was all burned.
00:31:51One side?
00:31:53She was here, Daddy.
00:31:57She was murdered.
00:31:59She told me.
00:32:23Come on.
00:32:53That's what I want you to do.
00:33:01Harry!
00:33:02She's just what I want.
00:33:20Honey, what are you doing now?
00:33:22Look, Daddy, I'm a mountain climber.
00:33:24Oh, come on, you're gonna break your neck.
00:33:38Is that the little girl? The one that's a little loose?
00:33:43You're Jessica's daughter, aren't you?
00:33:45Susan, isn't it?
00:33:46Yes.
00:33:47Remember me, Susan, Mrs. Lyddon from Fairview.
00:33:50We used to visit here often.
00:33:52Were you friends of my mother?
00:33:53Yes.
00:33:54Good friends.
00:33:55Then why did you come here?
00:33:57Why don't you go?
00:33:58Friends wouldn't do what you're doing.
00:34:00Well...
00:34:01After what happened last night, any doctor in the world...
00:34:02Francine, you cannot have a person committed to a mental institution for having a nightmare.
00:34:06When I know it was not just a nightmare Susan had...
00:34:10After what happened last night, any doctor in the world...
00:34:24Francine, you cannot have a person committed to a mental institution for having a nightmare.
00:34:30When I know it was not just a nightmare Susan had.
00:34:34What do you mean by that?
00:34:36Edward, don't pretend she was just hallucinating. There's more to it than that.
00:34:40I don't want to talk about it now.
00:34:42Why? What are you afraid of?
00:34:45Edward!
00:34:52What is it, Elsie?
00:34:53Something dreadful has happened. I must show you.
00:34:57Why? Why, of course. The governess.
00:35:03Uh, my wife Francine, Elsie Cornwall.
00:35:07I was Jessica's best friend.
00:35:10Yes, I... I do vaguely remember you.
00:35:14Oh, Edward, Jessica's portrait. Just look what some vandal did to it.
00:35:20Can you believe such a thing?
00:35:22Get out of here!
00:35:25All of you, get out of this house!
00:35:27Get out! Leave my mother's things alone!
00:35:30Susan, Susan, Susan! Get out of here!
00:35:32What is it?
00:35:33Tell him to go, Dad. He sends him away!
00:35:36Oh, dear, I can't do that.
00:35:38Yes, you can.
00:35:39Well, Susan, what is the matter with you? You knew this was going to happen.
00:35:43But I didn't think it would be like this!
00:35:46Tell him to leave my mother's things alone!
00:35:49Oh, Susan, uh, please, uh, please don't mind.
00:35:52My daughter's just, uh, a little bit upset.
00:35:55Let's, uh, let's go somewhere, dear, and talk.
00:35:57Just go right ahead and take, uh, take whatever you want.
00:35:59Tell him to go, Daddy!
00:36:01Uh, let's, let's go upstairs, dear.
00:36:03Shall I call the doctor?
00:36:05I said no.
00:36:13Uh, let's, uh, let's sit here and talk.
00:36:21I'm sorry if I was rude.
00:36:23That's all right. I, uh, I understand.
00:36:27No, you don't. Nobody does.
00:36:31Well, of course I do.
00:36:33It's not easy to see all the things that were familiar to you as a child being sold like this.
00:36:40It's not that.
00:36:42What, then?
00:36:45I'm afraid they'll take it away.
00:36:47Take what away?
00:36:49I don't know.
00:36:51You don't know what?
00:36:53I know it sounds silly.
00:36:56But there's something here.
00:36:59Here in the house.
00:37:01Something I have to find.
00:37:04Honey, I, uh...
00:37:07I haven't had much experience understanding children.
00:37:11Maybe I can make that up to you if you'll give me a chance.
00:37:15But you'll have to help.
00:37:17And you can start by making a little more sense than you have been.
00:37:23What is here in this house?
00:37:25It's...
00:37:30It's something that'll explain who killed Mother.
00:37:33Oh, for heaven's sake, Susan.
00:37:36She was murdered, Daddy.
00:37:38And there is something here in the house that'll prove it.
00:37:41If I could just remember what.
00:37:43Your mother's death was an accident.
00:37:46The authorities settled that once and for all.
00:37:49They said she must have knocked a burning candle off the bed stand in her sleep.
00:37:55The room caught fire.
00:37:57That is how it was.
00:37:58It was something else, Daddy.
00:38:01I know it.
00:38:03Just because your mind won't let you remember what happened that night.
00:38:07Doesn't mean you have to imagine something that didn't.
00:38:11I can't help it.
00:38:14Oh, Daddy, what's the matter with me?
00:38:19I can't remember.
00:38:24And yet I can't forget.
00:38:27What?
00:38:36We'll talk more later.
00:38:49Oh, do you care to do some hunting this afternoon?
00:39:08Yeah?
00:39:09Well, I see you still keep these beasts.
00:39:21I wouldn't come too close if I were you.
00:39:24Cleo can be rather unpredictable.
00:39:26I thought she would have flown away by now.
00:39:29I still find her far more constant than a woman.
00:39:33She's a killer, isn't she?
00:39:35We're all killers, one way or the other, I suppose.
00:39:39You love to meddle with danger, don't you, Francine?
00:39:43Now, don't provoke her.
00:39:45She's liable to snap the leash.
00:39:48Your concern is a comfort.
00:39:50My only concern is for the hawk.
00:39:53None for me, Tony.
00:39:55After all, we did mean something to each other once.
00:40:00I had bronchial pneumonia once, but I got over it.
00:40:09The sounds you make are much more antisocial than those of your pet.
00:40:13I have rather more reason, wouldn't you see?
00:40:17Yes, you have.
00:40:19I'm sorry, Tony.
00:40:21Really sorry.
00:40:22Save your sympathy for your husband.
00:40:25He needs it.
00:40:26Why did you try to save Jessica that night?
00:40:28Because everyone has the right to play the hero and the fool at least once in their lives.
00:40:34And counting you, I've played the fool twice.
00:40:37Were you in the hospital a long time?
00:40:39Not half as long as it must seem to Edward being married to someone like you.
00:40:43What did you say to Susan last night?
00:40:46Susan.
00:40:47I saw you coming from Jessica's room.
00:40:50I didn't say anything to the child.
00:40:53You see, I didn't have to.
00:40:55Because she was right.
00:40:57Jessica was murdered.
00:41:01Are you accusing me?
00:41:05Or confessing to it yourself?
00:41:08I'm merely stating fact.
00:41:13And fact is a stubborn truth.
00:41:17Living alone is made a philosopher out of you.
00:41:20It makes living slightly more tolerable.
00:41:23There are many things that make living more tolerable.
00:41:28You're referring to money, I take it.
00:41:30Life can be a lot less complicated with a lot more money.
00:41:33Don't you think?
00:41:35It's academic.
00:41:37Not to Susan, it isn't.
00:41:40We'll all be old and gray by the time her inheritance is finally turned over to her.
00:41:45It won't do any of us any good at all.
00:41:48With all that money, she'll find life very sweet.
00:41:52It would be a shame, wouldn't it, if something should happen to her first,
00:41:58before she has a chance to spend any of it.
00:42:02And then the entire estate would go to Edward.
00:42:07And through Edward.
00:42:11To me.
00:42:12And you, being the just and honest woman that you are, would soon rectify Jessica's mistake.
00:42:17And enlarge upon my legacy.
00:42:19Would be the only fair thing to do, wouldn't it, Tony?
00:42:24It is an interesting pipe dream.
00:42:28And fortunately, we are all born to dream.
00:42:32I wish we were all born to dreamin'.
00:42:33I wish we could.
00:42:34I wish we could.
00:42:35I wish I could.
00:42:36I wish we could.
00:42:37I wish we could.
00:42:38I wish, would it for a while.
00:42:39I wish I could.
00:42:40I wish it were.
00:42:41I wish we could.
00:42:42And I wish we could.
00:42:43Okay, no.
00:42:44Let's.
00:42:45I don't know.
00:43:15I don't know.
00:43:45I don't know.
00:44:15I don't know.
00:44:45I don't know.
00:45:15I don't know.
00:45:17It was your mother's, wasn't it?
00:45:19The night she...
00:45:21She wore it on the night of the fire.
00:45:23I thought you were supposed to have forgotten everything about that night.
00:45:26I have, except...
00:45:28I remember because of something I had.
00:45:32Something I was holding.
00:45:34I was sitting on the stairs, waiting for my mother and father to come home from a party.
00:45:40And I had this toy.
00:45:44Um...
00:45:46I think it was a bird.
00:45:50Like a hawk or a falcon.
00:45:52A hawk?
00:45:54You mean like the ones Tony keeps?
00:45:58But this one wasn't real.
00:46:00It was a toy bird.
00:46:02All glittering and... and fiery.
00:46:06Like a... a bird in flight?
00:46:08It was all shimmering like...
00:46:12Like diamonds.
00:46:16Come with me.
00:46:20Come with me.
00:46:32It's the same dress, isn't it?
00:46:34No.
00:46:35What do you mean, no?
00:46:36It's identical.
00:46:37Yes.
00:46:38Yes, no.
00:46:39What do you mean, Susan?
00:46:41Mother had two dresses.
00:46:43This one got torn.
00:46:44So she had another one made.
00:46:46But she did wear it the night of the fire.
00:46:48Yes.
00:46:49And that's why it reminds you of something that looks like a hawk.
00:46:53A bird that looked like that.
00:46:55No, it was a toy.
00:46:57All right.
00:46:59All right, it was a toy.
00:47:00But you're sure you had it in your hands the night of the fire?
00:47:03You're positive of that?
00:47:04Yes.
00:47:05Then what did you do with it?
00:47:08I buried it.
00:47:10It died, so I buried it.
00:47:12Where?
00:47:14Where did you bury it?
00:47:18I'll help you remember.
00:47:24The night of the fire, they found you wandering around out here.
00:47:27You'd already forgotten what had happened.
00:47:29You were in a daze.
00:47:30Now think, Susan.
00:47:32You must have buried the toy somewhere near the house.
00:47:34Try to remember where.
00:47:43What is it, Susan?
00:47:44Tell me.
00:47:45I was just thinking.
00:47:47How can a toy die?
00:47:48How can a toy die?
00:47:58There is no necklace.
00:48:00Oh, Edward, you frightened me.
00:48:02In spite of what Susan's vivid imagination may have led you to believe, there is no necklace.
00:48:07Well, of course there isn't, darling.
00:48:10I was here when Jessica reported the gems stolen from her strongbox.
00:48:13Remember?
00:48:15Now let me see.
00:48:17That was almost six months before the night of the fire, wasn't it?
00:48:21I don't want to play games with you, Francine.
00:48:23The police have already torn the place apart.
00:48:25I don't want to have to go through that again.
00:48:27Oh, Edward, don't be silly.
00:48:28I was only going along with some foolishness of Susan's out there.
00:48:32She seemed obsessed with having me help her find some nonsense or other.
00:48:36From where I was, it didn't appear you thought it was nonsense at the time.
00:48:40You badgered the child until she ran off to her room crying.
00:48:43Well, it's not my fault, dear.
00:48:45I keep telling you the girl needs medical help.
00:48:47I don't ever want to hear you say that again.
00:48:50Do you understand?
00:48:52You really shouldn't tax your heart with these strange outbursts, Edward,
00:48:55or you'll be having to see a doctor, too.
00:48:56Look, Francine, I'm...
00:49:00I'm very upset and I'm sorry.
00:49:02It's just that I don't want Susan to go through any more torture than she already has.
00:49:09Why this parental concern all of a sudden, Edward?
00:49:12I can understand the instinct in an animal to protect its young.
00:49:16But you, dear, you've always been so selfish, so cynical.
00:49:21Makes me wonder if there might be something else behind it.
00:49:25Don't involve Susan in any more fanciful speculations about the past.
00:49:29Just leave her alone.
00:49:32Of course I will, darling.
00:49:34I'm not as cold-blooded as you think.
00:49:40Of course, it would make a handsome legacy, wouldn't it?
00:49:45What would?
00:49:46The necklace.
00:49:47If it really were around here somewhere, I mean.
00:49:50Considering the state of your health,
00:49:52the diamonds would make a very comforting consolation
00:49:56if I were suddenly to become a widow.
00:50:22I don't know.
00:50:27Anything wrong?
00:50:30I don't know.
00:50:32Would, uh...
00:50:33Would some cookies and milk help?
00:50:36I don't like the thunder, Daddy.
00:50:39Well, at least I got you out of your room to come down here and visit me.
00:50:41So, you see, there's, uh...
00:50:43There's always some good in everything bad if you, uh...
00:50:45If you just look for it.
00:50:46And something bad in everything good.
00:50:49Isn't there?
00:50:53They teach you that at the convent?
00:50:56There's something bad in me, Daddy.
00:50:59I can feel it.
00:51:03What were, uh...
00:51:04You and Francine searching for?
00:51:07Searching for?
00:51:09Yes, this afternoon.
00:51:12Oh, it was nothing.
00:51:19You and I have never had a chance to talk about the night your mother died.
00:51:35We never really talked much about anything.
00:51:37Yes, I know.
00:51:38Perhaps now's a good time to start.
00:51:41What do you want me to say?
00:51:42What do you want me to say?
00:51:43Well, I...
00:51:44I don't want you to say anything you don't want to.
00:51:45But since you started to remember certain...
00:51:47Certain things...
00:51:48I...
00:51:49I...
00:51:50I...
00:51:51I...
00:51:52I...
00:51:53I...
00:51:54I...
00:51:55I...
00:51:56I...
00:51:57I...
00:51:58I...
00:51:59I...
00:52:00I...
00:52:01I don't want you to say anything you don't want to.
00:52:02But since you started to remember certain...
00:52:05Certain things...
00:52:06I might be able to help you remember the rest.
00:52:09I don't know if I really want to remember anymore.
00:52:12Yes, maybe it's, uh...
00:52:14Maybe it's just as well you don't.
00:52:15Daddy...
00:52:16If we talk...
00:52:19Will it chase away the dreams?
00:52:20The bad dreams?
00:52:22No.
00:52:23No.
00:52:24No.
00:52:25No.
00:52:26No.
00:52:27No.
00:52:28No.
00:52:29No.
00:52:30No.
00:52:31No.
00:52:32If you keep on having these nightmares...
00:52:35you might have to go back to the convent.
00:52:37Oh, Daddy...
00:52:40I do want to stop dreaming.
00:52:42I want very much to stop dreaming.
00:52:46Hi...
00:52:47Tell me what you remember about that night.
00:52:50About the toy.
00:52:52The glittering hawk.
00:52:56How did you know about it?
00:52:59Tony...
00:53:00What if I told you the necklace was never stolen before Jessica died?
00:53:04It was here in the house all the time.
00:53:06It still is.
00:53:08Aren't you being rather ridiculous?
00:53:10Am I?
00:53:12Why did you risk your life the night of the fire?
00:53:15To save Jessica?
00:53:17I don't believe it.
00:53:18I never have.
00:53:19Although you convinced everyone else you're a hero.
00:53:22It wasn't your cousin you were trying to save.
00:53:26The necklace?
00:53:27Sugar.
00:53:28One lump or two?
00:53:30I'll start with one.
00:53:32I never could understand your motive.
00:53:34Especially since I knew how much you hated Jessica
00:53:37for holding on so tight to the family purse strings.
00:53:40So tight you never even had enough money of your own
00:53:43to impress a mere governess.
00:53:45Or even tempt me to consider your amorous advances. Seriously.
00:53:49You don't need any sugar, Francine.
00:53:52You're saccharine sweet as it is.
00:53:54Must have been dreadful for you there in that hospital room.
00:53:57Knowing your brave deed had gone for nothing.
00:54:00Perhaps.
00:54:02But then again, as you suggest,
00:54:05I may already have the necklace.
00:54:09If you did, you wouldn't be here.
00:54:11Now Susan has the necklace.
00:54:14From what I can make of her nonsense about a sparkling toy,
00:54:18she found it that night.
00:54:20And sometime during a panic, she hid it.
00:54:32You cut your fingers on this, didn't you?
00:54:34Why?
00:54:35Why did you do it?
00:54:36Why did you tear at it?
00:54:37Did the necklace have anything to do with it?
00:54:42Can you remember?
00:54:43The poor child.
00:54:45She adored her mother so.
00:54:48Perhaps I'd be more merciful if she was sent to join her.
00:54:52And Edward too.
00:54:53You intrigue me.
00:54:54Do I?
00:54:55Your only sense of morality lies in the exquisite lack of any virtue whatsoever.
00:55:09When they're dead, you'll inherit the estate.
00:55:14Half a million dollars.
00:55:16And I'll get the necklace.
00:55:19Seems fair enough.
00:55:22Come to the house in ten minutes.
00:55:25Before you go, I believe we should discuss the terms.
00:55:29I thought we just settled that.
00:55:31We merely discussed a financial arrangement.
00:55:34But after all, what use is money to a thing that looks like me?
00:55:39So you see, my dear Francine, you'll have to think of a better offer.
00:55:43What price are you really wanting to pay?
00:56:00What is it?
00:56:30money to pay?
00:56:40Need you to hold the door?
00:56:42Pull over.
00:56:43Leave him!
00:56:46Don't!
00:56:47Leave!
00:56:48Leave!
00:57:00No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:57:30Susan!
00:58:00Susan!
00:58:09Susan! Susan!
00:58:11Susan, it's me!
00:58:26Susan! It's me! Daddy, it's Daddy!
00:58:30Daddy, I did it! I did it! I did it!
00:58:33Susan, what is it? What frightened you? What happened?
00:58:35No, I did it, Daddy! I did it!
00:58:37Did what?
00:58:38I killed her!
00:58:40My mother, I did it! I killed her!
00:58:43I killed her! I killed her!
00:58:49And I wanted to help her.
00:59:00What do you mean, an hour?
00:59:10Doctor, my daughter's got to have the sedative right now.
00:59:13Well, this is an emergency, too.
00:59:15All right, all right, all right.
00:59:17All right, all right, all right.
00:59:19Look, doctor, call the pharmacy in town and okay a prescription.
00:59:24I'll pick it up myself.
00:59:27Yeah, that's right. Goodbye.
00:59:29Goodbye.
00:59:35Don't leave me, Daddy.
00:59:38They'll punish me.
00:59:39They'll punish me for what I did.
00:59:41Well, you haven't done anything wrong, darling.
00:59:45You're safe now. Nobody's gonna hurt you.
00:59:47They'll punish me for what I did to Mother.
00:59:50Daddy, I'm the worst thing that ever was alive.
00:59:54You'll think better about it as soon as I get back with the medicine.
00:59:57You'll see. You rest now.
01:00:15Get out.
01:00:16I want you out of here by the time I get back from town. Pack up and get out.
01:00:46No, no!
01:00:51No!
01:00:53No! No!
01:00:54No!
01:00:56No!
01:00:58playing
01:01:01off
01:01:03playing
01:01:11Shh, shh!
01:01:39I found it.
01:01:41The necklace!
01:02:03Susan?
01:02:05Mommy?
01:02:06Is Francine coming to sit with me?
01:02:08Or is she going out too?
01:02:11Do you like my dress?
01:02:13It's very pretty, Mommy.
01:02:15You're very beautiful.
01:02:17Will Daddy come kiss me goodnight before you go to the party?
01:02:21Your father's gone on ahead.
01:02:25But I can't join him until I have the necklace.
01:02:30No, you can't have it. I need it.
01:02:33I must have it.
01:02:35Don't you see?
01:02:36This dress was designed to be worn with the necklace.
01:02:40You want me to look my best now, don't you, Susan?
01:02:43I want to look pretty, too.
01:02:45Where is it?
01:02:47Where did you hide it, Susan?
01:02:48No!
01:02:49I won't tell you!
01:02:50Tell me where!
01:02:51No!
01:02:52Tell me where you hid it!
01:02:53No!
01:02:54Yes, I've been trying to dial the police.
01:02:57Is there anything wrong with the line?
01:02:58No!
01:03:04Stay where you are.
01:03:25What are you doing?
01:03:26Yes, I would like to speak to one of the detectives on homicide.
01:03:31Why?
01:03:33I'd be interested in Susan's confession, don't you?
01:03:35Confession?
01:03:37The ravings of a demented girl?
01:03:39You call that a confession?
01:03:41You must be as mad as she is.
01:03:43Perhaps I am.
01:03:44Why are you doing this, Tony?
01:03:46She's not in her right mind.
01:03:47You know they'll never believe her.
01:03:48Maybe they won't.
01:03:49They will accomplish one important thing.
01:03:51What?
01:03:52They will force the authorities to reopen their investigation of Jessica's death.
01:03:55What good would that do?
01:03:57This time they may discover the person who took on life.
01:04:00And my face.
01:04:02Oh, you fool.
01:04:04If the girl is committed, the estate will go to Edward.
01:04:06You'll be left without a penny.
01:04:08What good is your revenge without profit?
01:04:11You're more of a woman instead of a merchant.
01:04:12Do you know the answer to that?
01:04:13Well, what if they do find out Jessica was murdered?
01:04:17What'll it change?
01:04:19Will it bring her back to life?
01:04:20Will it make you handsome?
01:04:21Get out of here, Francine!
01:04:22What about me?
01:04:24Susan knows where the necklace is.
01:04:26She admitted it to me just now.
01:04:28All I need is a little more time, Tony.
01:04:30Time.
01:04:31Time stopped for me three years ago.
01:04:34You...
01:04:36You loved me once, Tony.
01:04:39Must have meant something to you.
01:04:42One favor for...
01:04:44For old times' sake.
01:04:46One...
01:04:47One favor, Tony.
01:04:49Please don't call them.
01:04:51Or what I once meant to you.
01:04:53What you once meant to me?
01:04:55You meant absolutely nothing.
01:04:58I never loved you.
01:05:00It was Jessica!
01:05:01It was always Jessica!
01:05:03Be reasonable, Tony.
01:05:05Do you want everything to go to Edward?
01:05:07What'll happen if you call the police?
01:05:09Tony, it doesn't matter what you and I may or may not have meant to each other.
01:05:13What matters is today.
01:05:15As good as tomorrow without the money of our own to enjoy it with.
01:05:18I did everything I could to break up their marriage.
01:05:21I even told her Edward was having an affair with you, but she only loved.
01:05:27It was here.
01:05:29Here in this room.
01:05:30Three years ago.
01:05:32Dear, dear, dear, Tony.
01:05:34Don't tell me you got me back from this wonderful party.
01:05:37Just because you want to tell me that Edward and Susan's governess are having a love affair.
01:05:42You know, you're absolutely impossible.
01:05:45But nevertheless, it's true, Jessica.
01:05:48Of course it's true, darling.
01:05:50But if I wouldn't give him his freedom, he wouldn't give me mine.
01:05:54But don't you be so silly.
01:05:55Good Lord, Jessica, the man doesn't love you.
01:05:59Of course he doesn't love me.
01:06:01As a matter of fact, I don't think he ever did.
01:06:05Why don't you leave him?
01:06:07We can be happy together. We always were.
01:06:09Darling, don't be such a boring man.
01:06:12I'm completely happy now.
01:06:14But you do love me, don't you, Jessica?
01:06:17Of course I love you.
01:06:18And I love you.
01:06:20And I love you.
01:06:21And I love you.
01:06:22And I love you.
01:06:24As a matter of fact, I love all men.
01:06:27You know the funny thing?
01:06:28The only man I don't love is my husband.
01:06:31Nothing.
01:06:32Nothing really meant anything to Jessica.
01:06:42No, I never loved you, Francine.
01:06:48The only feeling I ever had for you was that of utter contempt.
01:06:52Utter contempt.
01:07:22I love you.
01:07:30Operator.
01:07:33Operator, will you answer me?
01:07:36Answer me.
01:07:38Operator, will you answer me?
01:07:40Operator...
01:07:52Operator.
01:08:12Good night, Tony, darling.
01:08:13And remember, I love you.
01:08:18Susan, what are you doing out of bed?
01:08:22It's very late.
01:08:26Didn't Daddy come home with you, Mommy?
01:08:29He'll be home very soon.
01:08:30But will you please tell me now why aren't you in bed?
01:08:34I'm waiting up for Daddy.
01:08:37I have a surprise for him.
01:08:39Susan, what are you hiding?
01:08:41What do you have in your hands?
01:08:43It's nothing.
01:08:44Let me see it, Susan.
01:08:46Let me see it.
01:08:48It's my necklace.
01:08:53Where did you find it?
01:08:55I had to take it, Mommy.
01:08:58I really had to.
01:09:00You mean you took my necklace?
01:09:03You took my necklace, Susan?
01:09:05I had to.
01:09:08Don't you see, Mommy?
01:09:10If I could be as pretty as you, then Daddy would love me also.
01:09:15Oh, Susan.
01:09:17Do you realize what trouble you made with this idiotic idea of yours?
01:09:21You upset the whole household.
01:09:22The police were called in.
01:09:24They embarrassed everybody with their questioning and suspicions.
01:09:27Well, now, come on, dear.
01:09:28Give it to me.
01:09:30Please, Mommy.
01:09:32Let me wear it for Daddy.
01:09:35So I can be pretty.
01:09:37Give it to me.
01:09:39Please, Mommy.
01:09:40Give it to me!
01:09:42No!
01:09:43I have to have it!
01:09:45I have to be pretty for Daddy!
01:09:48Come back here.
01:09:57The Cedarwood Bridge was out.
01:09:59I couldn't get through.
01:10:01I tried the back roads, but the car skidded off.
01:10:03I had to leave it.
01:10:04How's Susan?
01:10:05Susan?
01:10:06Where did you find that dress?
01:10:09Dress?
01:10:10Take it off.
01:10:11I never want to seat you in that again.
01:10:12Do you understand?
01:10:13Where are you going?
01:10:15Well, to call the druggist to see if he can get through with the medicine.
01:10:18Susan's waiting for you in her room.
01:10:20Why don't you use the phone there?
01:10:22Yes, I better check on her.
01:10:26Susan?
01:10:36Susan, where are you?
01:10:40Where are you?
01:10:56Susan's waiting for you.
01:10:58Please, Mommy, let me wear it for Daddy, so he can see how pretty I can be, too.
01:11:28Please, Mommy.
01:11:31Susan, come back here.
01:11:58Give me the necklace.
01:12:05Give me the necklace.
01:12:08Please, Mommy, please.
01:12:12Give me the necklace.
01:12:19Please, Mommy, please.
01:12:24Give it to me, Susan.
01:12:29Give it to me, Susan.
01:12:34No.
01:12:35Give it to me.
01:12:37Give it to me.
01:12:38Give it to me.
01:12:39Give it to me.
01:12:40Give it to me.
01:13:00Francine.
01:13:03Oh, my God.
01:13:06Oh, I remember it.
01:13:09Oh, my God.
01:13:12Oh, my God.
01:13:34Susan!
01:13:39Francine, where is Susan?
01:13:43Where is Susan?
01:13:47Where did you find this?
01:13:54I took it from Jessica's murderess.
01:13:57Her own daughter.
01:14:00Susan?
01:14:01Oh, you're out of your mind.
01:14:04Am I?
01:14:05It's Susan who's out of her mind.
01:14:08If you don't believe me, go down to the reception room.
01:14:11You'll find proof of it.
01:14:13Anthony?
01:14:14Oh, no.
01:14:15Have you seen him?
01:14:18Yes, I saw him.
01:14:20She's a unique murderer, your daughter.
01:14:23She kills and then forgets.
01:14:27Well, it can't be.
01:14:29It can't be.
01:14:30Well, I assure you, Edward, it can be.
01:14:33Where is she?
01:14:34Well, I don't know.
01:14:35And what's more, I don't care.
01:14:37All I want is to get away from this house.
01:14:40Away from that lunatic daughter of yours.
01:14:43And most of all, from you.
01:14:46This is like that other night.
01:14:49I'm divorcing you, Edward.
01:14:52The fire, the screams.
01:14:54It's just like that other night.
01:14:57You're as mad as your daughter.
01:14:59I said I'm leaving you.
01:15:00No.
01:15:01No, you are not going.
01:15:03Try and stop me and I'll tell the police what I know about Anthony.
01:15:07And what really happened to Jessica.
01:15:09What really happened to Jessica?
01:15:12You think you know?
01:15:14Edward, all I want is the necklace and my freedom.
01:15:17Your freedom?
01:15:19Give them to me and I won't say a word.
01:15:21I swear it.
01:15:22I know all about wanting to be free.
01:15:26Oh, let me go.
01:15:28Let you go.
01:15:32How easily you say those words.
01:15:36But it wasn't that easy to get you.
01:15:40And I did it for you.
01:15:42Don't you understand?
01:15:44All for you.
01:15:45Edward, you're a fool.
01:15:46It was all for you!
01:15:52Remember?
01:15:54It was the night of the governor's party.
01:15:57Jessica wasn't feeling well and went home early, so...
01:16:01I met you at the hotel, but I didn't spend the entire night as you thought.
01:16:06After you went to sleep, I left.
01:16:09I was determined to do what you wanted.
01:16:11To settle things with Jessica once and for all.
01:16:14She was lying there.
01:16:16Jessica?
01:16:17Jessica?
01:16:18I asked Jessica what had happened.
01:16:20Jessica?
01:16:21She said it was Susan.
01:16:23She had a fight with her.
01:16:25I asked her why was Susan.
01:16:29Then I saw it.
01:16:30The necklace.
01:16:31She had it in her hand the same way.
01:16:36She told me that she came home and discovered her on the stairs, hiding the gems behind her back.
01:16:43She said Susan had taken it from her strong box.
01:16:53How I had neglected my daughter and had made a little sneak out of her.
01:16:58I said I didn't care about the necklace over Susan.
01:17:02I said she could keep Susan.
01:17:05She could keep the whole estate for all I cared.
01:17:08I told her I was in love with Francine.
01:17:10Desperately in love.
01:17:11And I wanted her to divorce me.
01:17:13I told her to stop laughing.
01:17:14I begged her to give me a divorce.
01:17:16To let me go.
01:17:17She just kept on laughing.
01:17:22She called me a fool.
01:17:23But a necessary fool she will never let go.
01:17:26She had the wealth but I had the good family name needed to go with it.
01:17:29No, she said.
01:17:30She would never give up the prestige of my name.
01:17:35She kept right on laughing too.
01:17:37Calling me a ridiculous fool.
01:17:39Don't you see?
01:17:41I did it for you.
01:17:43Oh, that's what's so funny.
01:17:47You went through all that pain to leave one woman for another one who's about to leave you.
01:17:53I did it for you, Francine.
01:17:59I had to be free.
01:18:03I had to be free.
01:18:08I had to be free.
