Which of us calls the police...

You or I?

You...

Because you've begun to suspect him.

Of this terrible crime...

this cold-blooded murder.

Of your trusted employee Mr. Green.

Then I identify him.

You and I don't even

have to communicate.

We never have to see each other again.

You couldn't afford to

have him arrested, could you?

He knew too much about you.

He was going to kill you.

I know. You saved my life.

But you can't say

Wilson wanted to kill me.

You'll have to explain why...

And that'll hang you.

We remain with our original story.

Tell me.

I had been suspecting for some time.

That Matt Wilson

was sabotaging my ships,

Killing innocent seamen,

Destroying a plane.

That crashed with its pilot and copilot.

In order to murder a man

who could have exposed him.

I could do nothing

until I found an eyewitness.

Who had seen him brutally destroy

Walter Green.

I faced him with it,

threatened to call the police.

He reached for his gun,

And I shot him.

It's beautiful.

Who's the eyewitness?

You, of course.

I was with a girl called Dominique.

When it happened.

You were right.

I couldn't perjure a man's life away,

Not even his.

You tricked me.

You tricked me, didn't you?

Everything you said was a lie.

Green coming to see me,

Wilson plotting against me,

That affidavit.

It was all a lie.

It was all a lie.

I don't know, Mr. Valayan.

I really don't know.
