1:41:00
- Eh ?
- Were you on the shore...
1:41:03
that last night she went out,
when she didn't come back ?
1:41:05
I didn't see nothin'.
I don't want to go to the asylum.
1:41:09
Them cruel folks there.
1:41:12
Now, nobody's going
to send you to the asylum.
1:41:14
All we want you to do
is tell us what you saw.
1:41:17
I didn't see nothin'.
1:41:18
Come, come. Did you see Mrs. de Winter
get into her boat that last night ?
1:41:23
I don't know nothin'.
I don't want to go to the asylum.
1:41:31
- Very well, you may go.
- Eh ?
1:41:33
You may go now.
1:41:36
Mr. Tabb, would you
step forward, please ?
1:41:43
The evidence you give will
be the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth ?
1:41:47
I do, so help me God.
1:41:50
The late Mrs. de Winter
used to send her boat to your
shipyard for reconditioning.
1:41:53
- That's right, sir.
- Can you remember any occasion...
1:41:56
- when she had any sort
of accident with the boat ?
- No, sir.
1:41:59
I often said Mrs. de Winter
was a born sailor.
1:42:01
Now, when Mrs. de Winter
went below, as is supposed,
1:42:03
and a sudden gust of wind
came down,
1:42:05
that would be enough to capsize
the boat, wouldn't it ?
1:42:08
Excuse me, sir, but there's
a little more to it than that.
1:42:11
- What do you mean, Mr. Tabb ?
- I mean, sir, the seacocks.
1:42:15
- What are the seacocks ?
-Seacock--
1:42:17
Oh, well, the seacocks
are the valves to drain out the boat,
1:42:21
and they're always kept
tight closed when you're afloat.
1:42:26
Yes ?
1:42:27
Well, yesterday when I examined
that boat, I found they'd been opened.
1:42:31
- What could be the reason for that ?
-Just this.
1:42:34
That's what flooded the boat
and sunk her.
1:42:38
- Are you implying--
- That boat never capsized at all.
1:42:41
I know it's a terrible
thing to say, sir,
1:42:44
but in my opinion,
she was scuttled.
1:42:47
[ Murmuring ]
1:42:49
- And there's them 'oles.
- What holes ?
1:42:53
- In her planking.
- What are you talking about ?
1:42:55
Of course, that boat's been
underwater for over a year,
1:42:59
and the tide's been knocking her
against the ridge,
