You forget things. 35 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,000 You scarcely seem to hear a word I say. Aren't you feeling well? 36 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000 I feel fine. Why shouldn't I? 37 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,000 Well, you look a bit drawn. 38 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,000 I think I'd better make an appointment for you with Dr. Thacker. 39 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:26,000 Look, Laura, there's nothing to matter with me. I better get going now. I'll be late. 40 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,000 But you haven't finished your breakfast. 41 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,000 Well, that's all I want. I'm not very hungry. Where's my briefcase? 42 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:36,000 On the hall table. Oliver, are you sure you're not ill? You look positively hollow-eyed. 43 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,000 I never felt better in my life. 44 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,000 Well... 45 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000 See you tonight, dear.

Goodbye. 50 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,000 Laura was like that. A chronic worrier. 51 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,000 She seemed to take delight in fretting about things that wouldn't even occur to the average person. 52 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:04,000 Imagine me not feeling well. Why, I've never had a sick day in my life. 53 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:10,000 There on the trellis was my prize rose bush. Climbing talisman, they call it. 54 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,000 Suddenly I was thinking of Jane. 55 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,000 Perhaps if I put a rosebud in my buttonhole, Jane would notice. 56 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,000 She'd say something about how the scent matched her perfume, and maybe we'd talk about roses. 57 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,000 And I could impress her, because I know quite a lot about roses. 58 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,000 I was just about to pick one of the buds... 59 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:32,000 Well, well, well, good morning, Mr. Littlefield. Good morning. Two lettuce for you today. 60 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,000 Good morning, Mr. Crowley. 61 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,000 Well, I see you're doing a little gardening, hmm? 62 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,000 Oh, no, I was just sort of looking the garden over. 63 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,000 Well, it's a mighty fine garden you've got there, Mr. Littlefield. 64 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,000 Worked pretty hard on it, I suppose. 65 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,000 Yes, I've given it my fair share of time. 66 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,000 Oh, yes. A little too much, maybe, hmm? 67 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,000 I beg your pardon? 68 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,000 Well, it pays to be on the safe side, Mr. Littlefield. 69 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:56,000 Now, of course, of course, it ain't none of my business, but it seems to me that you're getting to look a... 70 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,000 well, a little peaked. You'd better go easy. 71 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,000 Yes. Well, then, you know... 72 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,000 Good morning, Mr. Crowley. 73 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,000 Yes, good morning, you sir. I gotta get going anyway. 74 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,000 What was the second time? 75 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,000 The second time I'd heard it, and the day was hardly more than an hour old. 76 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000 First Laura, and now the postman. 77 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,000 I felt all right. I felt swell. 78 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,000 I thought of the rosebud again. 79 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000 I bent down, snipped off a bud from the bush, 80 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,000 had to take the red crosspin out of my lapel to get the rose in, 81 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:31,000 but I didn't mind taking the time. After all, one minute more or less never harmed anyone. 82 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,000 I didn't know then how precious a minute can be. 83 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,000 I glanced at my watch, 823. 84 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,000 I had to run part of the way to the station. 85 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,000 I arrived out of breath, panting, perspiring a bit, but I made it. 86 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,000 Steve and Joe helped me aboard. 87 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,000 Hey! Oliver, you ought to get an earlier start in the morning. 88 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,000 I was... I was delayed at the house. 89 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,000 Boy, listen to old Ollie wheeze. 90 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,000 And you're the guy who used to be a track star in high school. 91 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,000 Where's the old wind, Ollie? 92 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000 I'm all right. Just a second now. 93 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,000 Seriously, Oliver, it's dangerous business for a man of your age to be running around that way. 94 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,000 Man of my age? Listen to him, you'd think I was 80. 95 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,000 Say, know what you need? Maxidream. 96 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000 Pep me up, make you feel like a million. 97 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000 I tell you there's nothing wrong with me. 98 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,000 I got two or three here with me. Little box, pocket here somewhere. 99 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,000 Here we are. Let me make a little present. 100 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,000 Non-habit forming, you know? 101 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,000 What do I want with Maxidream? 102 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,000 You keep them in your pocket. 103 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,000 Take a half of one with some water when you get that sagged out feeling, you know? 104 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,000 Pep you up like a million, make a new man out of you. 105 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,000 It's getting to be just like a club. 106 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,000 All you had to do to get a membership was to smile at me and say, 107 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,000 Mr. Littlefield, you look a little sick. 108 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,000 Mr. Littlefield, you look a little peaking. 109 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:48,000 Mr. Littlefield, why don't you just find some nice quiet corner and go and curl up and die? 110 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,000 Mr. Littlefield. 111 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,000 It was nine o'clock when I got to the office. 112 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,000 I noticed a lumpy feeling in my solar plexus. 113 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,000 Right here, a little on the left by my heart. 114 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,000 It was just indigestion, of course. 115 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,000 I got my accounts together and I went into Mr. Bevan's outer office. 116 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,000 There was Jane at her desk. 117 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,000 She looked lovely this morning. 118 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:21,000 The sunlight coming through the Venetian blind seemed to blend with her blonde hair. 119 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,000 All at once I wondered why I'd ever married Laura. 120 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,000 Sunlight never did anything to her hair. 121 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,000 Jane was busy and didn't see me come in. 122 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,000 I coughed, lightly. 123 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,000 Oh, Mr. Littlefield, good morning. 124 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,000 Good morning, Jane. 125 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,000 I heard you cough. Do you have a cold? 126 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,000 No, no, I haven't a cold. I never felt better in my life. 127 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000 I'm sorry, Mr. Littlefield, I just... 128 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,000 Oh, forgive me, Jane. I didn't mean to snap at you. 129 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,000 I guess I'm a little jumpy this morning. 130 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000 Well, I can understand your being jumpy. 131 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,000 Mr. Bevan's can certainly be an old bear if he finds a mistake in the books. 132 00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,000 He certainly can. 133 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,000 But I wouldn't worry. You're well dressed for the occasion. 134 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,000 That rose in your lapel should appeal to his more pleasant side. 135 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,000 That is, if he has a more pleasant side. 136 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,000 I just happened to notice the bite in one of the bushes in the garden this morning. 137 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000 I don't know why I wore it. 138 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,000 It looks very nice. 139 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,000 Thank you. It's a climbing talisman. 140 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,000 Do you know anything about roses? 141 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,000 No, I'm afraid not. They're my favorite flower, though. 142 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,000 I grow them as a hobby. I had some exhibited once. 143 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,000 You must be quite a gardener. 144 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,000 Oh, no, no, no, I'm not really. 145 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,000 You see, there isn't a lot to growing a good rose. 146 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,000 You just have to watch your soil carefully.

Isn't it quite obvious? 482 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,000 Your wife's death was caused by a lethal dosage of cyanate. 483 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,000 Her medicine bottle was filled with cyanate. The odor is still there. 484 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,000 Yes, but I can explain that. 485 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,000 You see, there wasn't a bit of it left. I threw it all away. 486 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,000 She must have bought some herself. 487 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,000 I hardly think she'd fill her medicine bottle with poison if she intended to commit suicide. 488 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,000 Now, wait a minute. You've got to listen to me. 489 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,000 I didn't do it. I didn't do it, if that's what you're thinking. 490 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,000 Dr. Thacker, you've known me for a long time. You can take my word for it. 491 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,000 Hello, operator. Get me the police. 492 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,000 You see, it started with that blue tie. 493 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,000 It made my eyes look bluer. 494 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,000 Everybody told me I was sick. I started to feel sick. 495 00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,000 Yes, that's right. This is an emergency. 496 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,000 Then the Rosebud and Mr. Bevins and the Maxedrine. 497 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,000 I didn't know what I was doing for a while. 498 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,000 Hello, this is Dr. Thacker. You'd better send someone to 6931 Kilburn right away. 499 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,000 You know, people can drive you out of your mind if they keep saying the same thing to you over and over again. 500 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,000 Can I beg your pardon? 501 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,000 You've got to listen. You've got to listen. It was the blue tie. 502 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,000 Laura started it. She said I was hollow-eyed. 503 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:30,000 No, it looks like homicide. 504 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:37,000 Twelve hours. It all happened in twelve short hours. 505 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:43,000 But since then, the hours have been long, endless, eternity. 506 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,000 How long will I have to wait? 507 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:50,000 How long until they file out of that room and tell me what I already know? 508 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,000 The coroner's jury found that Laura Littlefield met her death by poisoning. 509 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:59,000 It's recommended that her husband, Oliver Littlefield, be held to answer. 510 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,000 I can hear it now. 511 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:07,000 There's no other verdict. The testimony of the librarian, the clerk at the photographic store, the doctor. 512 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,000 Powerful evidence that lies. 513 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,000 Damning evidence that... 514 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:19,000 That'll send Oliver Littlefield to the electric chair. 515 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,000 Mr. Littlefield, it's all over. 516 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,000 I knew it. I knew what you would find. 517 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:28,000 The coroner's jury found the testimony of the librarian, the clerk, and the rest convincing. 518 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,000 Undeniable. 519 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,000 And of course, the presence of the glass of poison at your wife's bedside was confusing. 520 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:38,000 Undoubtedly, she had intended to commit suicide. But of course, we know now that she didn't. 521 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,000 When will I be arrested? 522 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:43,000 That is a matter for the police. If they decide to prosecute, of course, under the circumstances... 523 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:48,000 Circumstances. Circumstantial evidence. 524 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:55,000 I didn't murder my wife!
