By the time
they perform the autopsy,
505
00:
43:33,560 -- 00:43:36,120the Narconal will be
completely dissolved,
506
00:
43:36,200 -- 00:43:38,839leaving only traces
of alcohol.
507
00:
43:38,920 -- 00:43:43,152She'll be classified
as just another drunk driver.
508
00:
43:43,240 -- 00:43:48,553- They'll check her blood alcohol...
- Point four-0. She had it coming.
509
00:
43:48,600 -- 00:43:50,955...and think
nothing more of it.
510
00:
43:51,040 -- 00:43:55,556The case is closed.
Madeline is dead.
511
00:
43:55,600 -- 00:43:59,036And we're free!
512
00:
43:59,120 -- 00:44:01,793What are we saying?
513
00:
44:07,880 -- 00:44:11,634- We can't go through with this, Helen.
- It's the only way.
514
00:
44:11,720 -- 00:44:13,870After she's gone,
515
00:
44:13,960 -- 00:44:17,157you can start your life
all over again.
516
00:
44:17,200 -- 00:44:20,397I can start my life
all over again.
517
00:
44:20,480 -- 00:44:24,712Oh, we'll be so happy!
518
00:
44:27,280 -- 00:44:30,272She's killing you.
519
00:
44:31,920 -- 00:44:35,674So... it would be
self-defense.
520
00:
44:35,760 -- 00:44:39,116Self-defense.
521
00:
46:06,200 -- 00:46:09,510My God, it's back!
522
00:
46:18,680 -- 00:46:20,875We have to talk.
523
00:
46:20,920 -- 00:46:24,151- Have another drink and go to bed.
- You'd like that.
524
00:
46:24,240 -- 00:46:27,277You'd like to see me drink
myself into an early grave.
525
00:
46:27,320 -- 00:46:29,629That is not going
to happen, by God!
526
00:
46:29,680 -- 00:46:33,798- You are not going to take my money!
- What are you talking about?
527
00:
46:33,840 -- 00:46:36,957When was the last time
you worked, Madeline? A real job?
528
00:
46:37,040 -- 00:46:41,192Anything you had left, you owed me
a long time ago. Your face owed me.
529
00:
46:41,280 -- 00:46:43,669You've changed your hair?
530
00:
46:45,920 -- 00:46:47,911What an eye.
531
00:
46:48,000 -- 00:46:49,831Don't wait up.
532
00:
46:52,000 -- 00:46:54,195Cheap.
533
00:
46:57,000 -- 00:46:59,309What did you say?
534
00:
46:59,400 -- 00:47:02,153I called you cheap.
That's what I think of you.
535
00:
47:02,240 -- 00:47:04,196Who do you think
you're talking to?
536
00:
47:04,240 -- 00:47:06,800You're a cheap,
tacky little tramp.
537
00:
47:06,880 -- 00:47:09,075Who do you think
you are?
538
00:
47:09,160 -- 00:47:12,391- Nothing like the woman I married.
- You're nothing!
539
00:
47:12,480 -- 00:47:15,836- You're a broad!
- You're a tragic, boozy, flaccid clown.
540
00:
47:15,920 -- 00:47:19,595- Watch it, Madeline.
- That's it. Flaccid.
541
00:
47:19,640 -- 00:47:21,596- Watch what you say.
- Flaccid.
542
00:
47:21,680 -- 00:47:24,148I don't have to take
this any longer!
543
00:
47:24,240 -- 00:47:26,993You'll take everything I have to give!
You always have.
544
00:
47:27,080 -- 00:47:29,389You're not even a man anymore.
And I need a man!
545
00:
47:29,480 -- 00:47:33,439A real man, not some drunken,
broken-down flaccid undertaker...
546
00:
47:33,520 -- 00:47:36,557who is just as dead below
547
00:
47:36,600 -- 00:47:39,273Hey, I might have more fun
with one of your clients!
548
00:
47:39,320 -- 00:47:42,630At least I'd know I'd be
getting something stiff...
549
00:
47:58,880 -- 00:48:01,713Did you think that I was just going
to take it forever, Madeline?
550
00:
48:01,800 -- 00:48:03,233Did you?
551
00:
48:03,280 -- 00:48:06,352You cruel, vicious,
loathsome b*tch!
552
00:
48:10,640 -- 00:48:13,757Please? Please?
553
00:
48:16,320 -- 00:48:19,357Oh, God! Oh!
554
00:
48:19,440 -- 00:48:23,274- Madeline, I'm so sorry.
- Oh, help me! Help me!
555
00:
48:25,760 -- 00:48:27,955Hurry!
556
00:
48:28,040 -- 00:48:30,110Help me!
Hurry up, you wimp!
557
00:
48:53,200 -- 00:48:55,111Oh, boy.
558
00:
49:01,080 -- 00:49:04,595Oh, oh.
559
00:
49:04,680 -- 00:49:06,636Oh.
560
00:
49:09,120 -- 00:49:11,998Oh, boy!
561
00:
49:38,080 -- 00:49:40,355Oh, boy!
562
00:
49:50,720 -- 00:49:52,836Suite 1110, please.
563
00:
49:52,880 -- 00:49:55,599Helen, it's me, Ernest Menville!
I did it!
564
00:
49:55,680 -- 00:49:57,875I didn't think I'd be able to,
but I did it!
565
00:
49:57,960 -- 00:50:00,952I pushed her down the stairs.
She is absolutely stone cold.
566
00:
50:01,040 -- 00:50:04,350She was saying the most
monstrous things and she's dead.
567
00:
50:04,400 -- 00:50:06,914I just had this feeling inside
of me that I couldn't contain.
568
00:
50:06,960 -- 00:50:09,599We're free, Helen.
But I'm afraid I'm gonna burn in hell.
569
00:
50:09,680 -- 00:50:12,399Her neck is broken and
there's no pulse and she's dead.
570
00:
50:12,480 -- 00:50:15,950Exactly which part of the plan
were you unclear on?
571
00:
50:16,040 -- 00:50:19,430- We went over it three times, Ernest.
- You don't understand.
572
00:
50:19,520 -- 00:50:23,195- Ernest, we went over it three times.
- You don't understand.
573
00:
50:23,280 -- 00:50:25,430It just happened.
It was an accident.
574
00:
50:25,520 -- 00:50:27,715It's better than an accident. At least
it's gonna look like an accident.
575
00:
50:27,760 -- 00:50:29,990- Have you called the police?
- No, I called you first.
576
00:
50:30,080 -- 00:50:33,356Ernest, you...
poor, sweet thing.
577
00:
50:33,400 -- 00:50:37,678If the police check the phone records,
don't you think it'll look unusual...
578
00:
50:37,760 -- 00:50:41,719- that you called me before them?
- Oh, my God.
579
00:
50:41,800 -- 00:50:44,189- You're right.
- Of course I'm right!
580
00:
50:44,240 -- 00:50:46,117- Should I call them right now?
- No.
581
00:
50:46,160 -- 00:50:49,630We have to decide what
you're going to say first.
582
00:
50:50,800 -- 00:50:53,234- Well?
- I'm thinking.
583
00:
50:54,360 -- 00:50:56,396Okay, I've got it.
Where's the body?
584
00:
50:56,480 -- 00:51:00,075- At the foot of the stairs.
- Good. Don't move her.
585
00:
51:00,160 -- 00:51:02,594- Soon as we hang up, call the police.
- Okay.
586
00:
51:02,640 -- 00:51:06,235Tell them you were on the phone with me
when you heard a terrible scream.
587
00:
51:06,320 -- 00:51:09,153You turned around and saw Madeline
fall down the stairs.
588
00:
51:09,200 -- 00:51:11,236- Right. Perfect.
- Stick to that story.
589
00:
51:11,280 -- 00:51:14,317If they check the phone records,
it'll confirm what you told them.
590
00:
51:14,400 -- 00:51:17,039- Got it.
- What about the time of death?
591
00:
51:17,120 -- 00:51:20,590- Could they prove the call came after?
- No, no.
592
00:
51:20,680 -- 00:51:23,638It's very difficult to determine
time of death within a few hours.
593
00:
51:23,720 -- 00:51:27,315- It's not an exact science.
- Ernest? Ernest!
594
00:
51:27,400 -- 00:51:31,791Ernest, you pushed me
down the stairs!
