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.
1:17:00
And you could have also...
1:17:04
...planted the stockings
at the same time.
1:17:06
Mark, why should I want
anyone to kill Margot?.
1:17:09
I know, Tony.
1:17:10
It's tough for us to see
because we--
1:17:13
We both love her.
1:17:15
But we need a reason now.
1:17:17
We need it badly!
1:17:22
Let's take one of
the old stock motives.
1:17:24
-Had Margot made a will?.
-Yes, I believe she had.
1:17:27
-Who was the beneficiary?.
-Why, I am, I suppose.
1:17:30
-There's your reason!
-Thousand of husbands and wives...
1:17:33
...leave money to each other
without murdering each other.
1:17:36
The police wouldn't believe it.
They'd take it as a man...
1:17:39
...trying desperately to save his wife.
1:17:41
Well, I certainly think it's worth that try.
1:17:44
Face it, they can't hang you
for a murder that never came off.
1:17:47
The most you'd get would be
a few years in prison.
1:17:49
Thanks very much.
1:17:51
It's a small price to pay.
You'd save her life!
1:17:54
That's fine coming from you, Mark.
1:17:57
Her life wouldn't be in danger at all
if it hadn't been for you.
