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.
1:16:00
-Kill Margot?.
-That's it.

1:16:03
-Why?.
-Because she said so.

1:16:07
"He came from behind the curtain...
1:16:10
...and he tried to strangle me."
1:16:12
Okay, that's what he did.
1:16:14
Just support everything she said.
1:16:16
Don't you see?.
That's my whole idea.

1:16:17
What about your letter?.
1:16:19
A man doesn't kill the person
he blackmails.

1:16:21
-That doesn't make sense.
-I know. It worried me too.

1:16:24
But I've got that licked.
1:16:26
You tell them that you stole
her handbag yourself.

1:16:30
Why should I do that?.
1:16:33
Because you wanted
to read my letter.

1:16:35
When you read it, you got mad
and decided to teach her a lesson.

1:16:38
You wrote those blackmail notes.
1:16:40
Nobody can prove you didn't.
1:16:42
And you can also say you never
saw Swan at Victoria Station.

1:16:45
You just invented that to try
to connect him with my letter.

1:16:48
You see how
it all hangs together?.

1:16:50
But your letter was found in his pocket.
1:16:52
-You put it there.
-When?.

1:16:55
Sometime before the police arrived.
