1:38:01
that he came home
with blood on his sleeves,
1:38:05
and that he even admitted to me
that he'd killed her?"
1:38:09
"Strange that he always said
he would never let me leave him. "
1:38:12
"But now, if this succeeds,
he will be leaving me
1:38:16
because they will take him away forever
1:38:20
and I shall be free and yours,
my beloved. "
1:38:25
"I count the hours until
we are together. Christine. "
1:38:32
Mrs Helm?
Will you go back to the witness box?
1:38:46
I now ask you again, Christine Helm,
did you write this letter?
1:38:51
Christine, tell him you didn't write it.
I know you didn't.
1:38:54
Please answer my question.
Did you write this letter?
1:38:58
Before answering, Mrs Helm,
1:39:00
I wish to warn you that the law regarding
perjury in this country is very severe.
1:39:05
If you have already
committed perjury in this courtroom,
1:39:09
I strongly advise you
not to add to your crime.
1:39:12
But, if this letter
has not been written by you,
1:39:16
then now is the time to state this fact.
1:39:22
I wrote the letter.
1:39:27
And that, my lord,
is the case for the defence.
1:39:38
I keep asking which is harder,
your head or your arteries?
1:39:41
Stop pressing your luck, you're overdue.
1:39:43
We're all packed and ready.
I hope the jury won't take all afternoon.
1:39:48
I concede.
1:39:49
- Congratulations, here are your cigars.
- Not yet.
1:39:52
Come on, it's all over,
wrapped up neat and tidy.
1:39:55
- What's wrong?
- It's a little too neat, too tidy,
1:39:59
and altogether too symmetrical,
that's what's wrong with it.
