1:32:00
You'd like to have an heir, wouldn't
you, Max, for your precious Manderley?''
1:32:04
Then she started to laugh.
1:32:06
''How funny.
How supremely, wonderfully funny.
1:32:09
''I'd be the perfect mother,
just as I've been the perfect wife.
1:32:12
''No one will ever know.
1:32:14
''It ought to give you
the thrill of your life, Max,
1:32:17
''to watch my son grow bigger
day by day...
1:32:19
and to know that when you die,
Manderley will be his. ''
1:32:23
She was face to face with me,
1:32:26
one hand in her pocket,
1:32:29
the other holding a cigarette.
1:32:32
She was smiling.
1:32:34
''Well, Max,
what are you going to do about it ?
1:32:39
Aren't you going to kill me ?''
1:32:43
I suppose I went mad for a moment.
1:32:47
I must have struck her.
1:32:53
She stood staring at me.
1:32:56
She looked almost triumphant.
1:33:00
Then she started
toward me again, smiling.
1:33:04
Suddenly she stumbled and fell.
1:33:12
When I looked down-- ages afterwards,
it seemed-- she was lying on the floor.
1:33:16
She'd struck her head on a heavy
piece of ship's tackle.
1:33:23
I remember wondering
why she was still smiling...
1:33:27
then I realized she was dead.
1:33:29
But you didn't kill her !
It was an accident !
1:33:32
Who would believe me ?
I lost my head.
1:33:36
I just knew I had to do something,
anything.
1:33:40
I carried her out to the boat.
1:33:43
It was very dark.
There was no moon.
1:33:47
I put her in the cabin.
1:33:49
When the boat seemed a safe distance
from the shore, I took a spike...
1:33:52
and drove it again and again
through the planking of the hull.
1:33:55
I had opened up the seacocks,
and the water began to come in fast.
1:33:58
I climbed over into the dinghy
and pulled away.
