Have you gotten any news
from the home secretary?.

1:14:17
Then it' s tomorrow?.
1:14:22
Tony, I take it you ' d do anything
to save her life.

1:14:25
-We've done everything.
-No, we haven't done everything.

1:14:28
I've been trying to figure out
something...

1:14:30
...just in case it came to this.
1:14:32
I really believe
it's her only chance.

1:14:34
Let's have it.
1:14:36
Margot was convicted
because nobody believed her story.

1:14:39
The prosecution made out
she was telling lies...

1:14:42
...and the jury believed him.
What did his case really amount to?.

1:14:45
Just three things:
My letter, her stocking...

1:14:49
...and the fact that because
no key was found on Swan...

1:14:52
...she must've let him in.
1:14:54
-Don't tell me--
-Wait a minute.

1:14:55
Now, hear me out.
This is where you come in.

1:14:58
Now, you've got to go tell the police
and tell them some story.

1:15:01
Anything to convince them
Margot wasn't lying after all.

1:15:04
The police aren't likely
to believe anything I tell them.

1:15:07
Tony, I've been writing
this stuff for years.

1:15:10
I've figured out something
for you to tell them.

1:15:12
Now, let's take those points
one by one.

1:15:16
Margot says she never let
Swan in through this door.

1:15:21
Okay.
1:15:23
He must have opened it somehow.
1:15:26
Suppose you tell the police that you
left your key out here somewhere?.

1:15:30
Then Swan could have let himself in.
1:15:33
-How did he know it was there?.
-You told him.

1:15:36
But I haven't met Swan in 20 years.
1:15:39
Tony, Swan is dead.
1:15:42
We've gotta make
the most of that.

1:15:43
You can tell any story you like.
You can even say...

1:15:46
...you two met somewhere and
planned this whole thing together.

1:15:50
Planned what?.
1:15:52
Are you suggesting I arranged
for Swan to come here...

1:15:55
-...to blackmail her?.
-No.

1:15:57
To kill her.
