:19:00
I take it you won't be
wanting that car after all.
:19:02
Don't you want me to tell you
why I brought you here?.
:19:07
Yes, I think you'd better.
:19:08
It was when I saw you in that pub
that it happened.
:19:11
Suddenly, everything became quite clear.
:19:15
A few months before,
Margot and I had made our wills.
:19:18
Short affairs, leaving everything we had
to each other, in case of accidents.
:19:22
Hers worked out at just over £90,000.
:19:25
Investments mostly,
all a little too easy to get at.
:19:28
And that was dangerous.
They would be bound to suspect me.
:19:32
I need an alibi, a very good one.
:19:36
Then I saw you.
:19:38
I'd wondered what happened
to people who came out of prison.
:19:41
People like you, I mean.
:19:43
Can they get jobs?.
Do old friends rally round?.
:19:47
Suppose they never had any friends.
:19:50
I became so curious to know
that I followed you.
:19:53
I followed you home that night and--
:19:56
Would you mind passing me
your glass, old boy?.
:20:00
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
:20:01
-I've been following you ever since.
-Why?.
:20:04
I was hoping sooner or later
I might catch you at something...
:20:07
-...and be able to--
-Blackmail me?.
:20:10
Influence you.
:20:12
After a couple of weeks,
I got to know your routine...
:20:14
-...and that made it a lot easier.
-Rather dour work.
:20:17
To begin with, yes.
:20:19
But you know how it is.
You take up a hobby.
:20:21
And the more you get to know it,
the more fascinating it becomes.
:20:24
You became quite fascinating.
:20:26
In fact, there were times when
I'd felt that you almost belonged to me.
:20:30
That must have been interesting.
:20:32
You used to go to the dog-racing,
Mondays and Thursdays.
:20:35
I even took it up myself,
just to be near you.
:20:38
-You'd changed your name to Adams.
-Yes. I got bored with Swan.
:20:42
-Any crime in that?.
-No. No. None whatever.
:20:45
In fact, there was nothing
really illegal about you.
:20:48
I got quite discouraged.
:20:51
Then one day, you disappeared
from your lodgings.
:20:53
I phoned your landlady.
I said, "Mr. Adams owed me £5."
:20:57
But apparently that was nothing.
:20:59
Mr. Adams owed her six weeks' rent
in her best lodge at £55.
