"Hello?"

"Hello? Did you understand?"

"Our records show that Major Curragh .."

"Is dead."

Yes.

Yes. I understand.

Perfectly.

I've received my instructions.

There is no need for you.

No need at all.

Sorry, sir. There must be some mistake.

Inspector Weldon from

Scotland Yard, sir.

He's in the house.

Very good. I've come to put

him under military arrest.

Quite so, sir. I let him see me tonight.

He seemed to think I was somebody else.

Alright, Hugh.

Melinda, you stay here.

I have to be the one to tell him.

Don't you see?

I have to be.

Just a minute, ma'am.

Can you give me a couple of minutes

while I get my men in position?

Very well.

We've got two men at

the back. He can't get out.

[ Gunshot! ]

[ Scream! ]

No.

Melinda.

There is something I've got to say.

I know what you must

be going through, but ..

The coroner.

Reporters .. all sorts of people

will be here in a minute.

And there is something

I've got to tell you first.

It's all over.

Melinda .. that's just it.

It's not all over.

Not for you.

What do you mean?

Well.

None of us in the Regiment

but the Colonel knew it.

But it seems Army Intelligence has

been on to Michael for some time.

They let him go ahead

because it suited their purpose.

It accomplished lot of things.

Hugh.

He's dead now.

Can't we ..

A lot of very valuable things.

Which will be undone.

If it gets out that

we've known all along.

Lin .. what I'm asking you to do ..

I don't blame you if you refuse.

Is to let the world believe.

That Michael killed himself.

Because you left him.

Because you left him

and for o other reason.

Will you do it?

You know I will, Hugh.

You know I will.
