1:49:01
- Of course, sir. Through there, sir.
- Thank you.
1:49:06
Hope this will do, Mr. de Winter.
1:49:08
Oh, it's splendid, splendid.
Exactly like the Ritz.
1:49:11
- Any orders, gents ?
- Yes, you might bring me
a large brandy and soda.
1:49:14
How about you, Max ? Have one on me.
I feel I can afford to play host.
1:49:17
-Thanks. I don't mind if I do.
-Make it two, will you, my good fellow ?
1:49:20
- Very good, sir.
-[Julyan ] Where's Mr. de Winter?
1:49:22
Oh, through the other door, sir.
1:49:25
ColonelJulyan, his is Mr. Favell.
1:49:27
Oh, I know ColonelJulyan.
We're old friends, aren't we ?
1:49:30
Since you're old friends, I assume you
also know he's head of the police here.
1:49:34
I think he might be interested
to hear your proposition.
Go on, tell him all about it.
1:49:37
I merely said I hoped to give up
selling cars and retire.
1:49:40
Actually, he offered to withhold
a vital piece of evidence...
1:49:42
if I made it worth his while.
1:49:44
I only want to see justice done,
Colonel.
1:49:47
Now, that boatbuilder's evidence...
1:49:48
suggested certain theories
concerning Rebecca's death.
1:49:51
One of them, of course, is suicide.
1:49:53
I have a little note here which puts
that possibility quite out of court.
1:49:57
- Read it, Colonel.
- ''Jack, darling,
1:50:00
''I've just seen the doctor and I'm going
down to Manderley right away.
1:50:03
''I shall be at the cottage all evening
and shall leave the door open for you.
1:50:07
I have something terribly
important to tell you. Rebecca. ''
1:50:11
Now, does that look like
the note of a woman who had made
up her mind to kill herself?
1:50:14
And apart from that, Colonel,
do you mean to tell me that
if you wanted to commit suicide,
1:50:17
you'd go to all the trouble
of putting out to sea in a boat,
1:50:20
then take a hammer and chisel
and laboriously knock holes
through the bottom of it ?
1:50:23
Come, Colonel,
as an offiicer of the law,
1:50:26
don't you feel there are some
slight grounds for suspicion ?
1:50:29
- Of murder ?
- What else ?
1:50:31
You've known Max a long time, so
you know he's the old-fashioned type...
1:50:35
who'd die to defend his honor
or who'd kill for it.
1:50:38
It's blackmail, pure and simple.
1:50:40
Blackmail's not so pure nor so simple.
1:50:42
It can bring a lot of trouble
to a great many people,
1:50:45
and the blackmailer sometimes fiinds
himself in jail at the end of it.
1:50:48
I see. You're going to hold
de Winter's hand through all this...
1:50:51
just because he's the big noise
around here and he's actually
permitted you to dine with him.
1:50:55
Be careful, Favell.
You've brought an accusation of murder.
1:50:57
- Have you any witnesses ?
- I do have a witness.
