1:57:02
Would you read that name again ?
Did you say Danvers ?
1:57:05
Yes, I have a Mrs. Danvers for 3:00.
1:57:07
What did she look like ?
Can you remember ?
1:57:10
Yes, I remember her quite well.
She was a very beautiful woman--
1:57:13
tall, dark,
exquisitely dressed.
1:57:16
- Rebecca.
- The lady must
have used an assumed name.
1:57:19
Is that so ? This is a surprise.
I'd known her a long time.
1:57:25
What was the matter with her ?
1:57:26
My dear sir,
there are certain ethics.
1:57:28
Could you supply a reason, Dr. Baker,
for Mrs. de Winter's suicide ?
1:57:32
For her murder, you mean. She was
going to have a kid, wasn't she ?
1:57:35
Come on, out with it !
1:57:37
Tell me what else a woman of her class
be doing in a dump like this ?
1:57:40
I take it the offiicial nature of this
visit makes it necessary for me to--
1:57:43
I assure you we'd not be troubling you
if it were not necessary.
1:57:47
You want to know
if I can suggest any motive...
1:57:49
as to why Mrs. de Winter
should have taken her life ?
1:57:52
Yes, I think I can.
1:57:56
The woman who called herself
Mrs. Danvers was very seriously ill.
1:58:00
She was not
going to have a child ?
1:58:03
That was what she thought,
but my diagnosis was different.
1:58:07
I sent her to a well-known specialist
for an examination and X-rays,
1:58:12
and on this date she returned
to me for his report.
1:58:16
I remember her standing here
holding out her hand for the photograph.
1:58:20
''I want to know the truth,''
she said.
1:58:22
''I don't want soft words
and a bedside manner.
1:58:25
If I'm for it,
you can tell me right away.''
1:58:28
I knew she was not the type
to accept a lie.
1:58:30
She'd asked for the truth,
so I let her have it.
1:58:33
She thanked me and I never
saw her again, so I assumed that--
1:58:37
- What was wrong with her ?
- Cancer.
1:58:42
Yes, the growth was deep-rooted.
1:58:45
An operation would have been
no earthly use at all.
1:58:47
In a short time,
she would have been under morphia.
1:58:50
There was nothing that could
be done for her, except wait.
1:58:54
[ Maxim ]
Did she say anything when you told her?
1:58:57
She smiled
in a queer sort of way.
