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.
1:34:01
I saw the boat heel over... and sink.
1:34:08
I pulled back into the cove.
1:34:11
It started raining.
1:34:14
Maxim, does anyone else know this ?
1:34:16
No, no one, except you and me.
1:34:20
We must explain it.
1:34:22
It's got to be the body
of someone you've never seen before.
1:34:25
No, they're bound to know her.
1:34:27
Her rings, bracelets she always wore.
1:34:30
They'll identify her body,
then they'll remember the other woman,
1:34:35
the other woman
buried in the crypt.
1:34:38
If they fiind out it was Rebecca,
1:34:40
you must simply say that you made
a mistake about the other body--
1:34:44
that the day you went
to Edgecombe, you were ill,
you didn't know what you were doing.
1:34:46
Rebecca's dead.
That's what we've got to remember.
1:34:49
Rebecca's dead.
She can't speak.
1:34:51
She can't bear witness.
She can't harm you anymore.
1:34:53
We're the only two people in the world
that know, Maxim--you and I.
1:34:56
I told you once that I'd done
a very selfiish thing in marrying you.
1:34:59
You can understand now
what I meant.
