Dishonored Lady Page #9

It's all right with me. We're finished with the place.

Thank you, very much.

Anything I can do for you, Doctor?

Oh, I was just curious about something.

I've never seen a safe like that before.

One that operated with a key.

Come to think about it, I guess I haven't either.

Normal assumption about a safe is that the lock

works on a combination.

Yes, I guess most of them do.

I was wondering how you knew this one worked with a key?

You said you'd never seen the key to it.

Did I say that?

I guess I must have said something I didn't mean.

Oh, I see.

There could be another explanation.

Really?

Yes, that you were lying when you said

you'd never seen the safe before.

You're not serious, are you, Doc?

I'm a scientist, Mr. Garet.

When we get hold of an odd fact

we consider every possible explanation.

We make some of our most important discoveries that way.

It must be fascinating work.

Yes, it is.

Suppose I had known about that safe, which I didn't...

What would that prove.

Frankly, nothing.

But it does suggest a theory.

You were very close to Courtland,

you knew about the safe.

Maybe the safe was robbed.

Perhaps he found out about it.

He was quarreling with a man in the hall the night

he was killed.

Maybe that man was you.

That's a very interesting theory.

Yes, isn't it?

Now, as I said, I'm a scientist. When we hit on a theory like that,

the next thing we do is to test it.

That's all I'm doing.

I see.

Then you won't mind having a little talk

with the police?

Why, no, no, why should I?

Fingerprints...

But then, of course, if you'd never seen the safe before

you won't mind them checking for yours.

Certainly not.

The number is Spring 73100.

Ok, Doc. No hard feelings.

Don't you think this sort of thing

is rather out of your line, though?

I guess maybe you're right.

Bye, Doctor

Good bye.

Spring 73100, wasn't it, Mr. Garet?

I guess I may have underestimated you, Doctor.

Extra, Extra! Read all about it.

Madeleine Damien cleared of murder charge!

News flashes from the Associated Press Newsroom:

Madeleine Damien has been exonerated

of the murder of Felix Courtland.

Full confession by an ex-employee,

Jack Garet, is in the hands of the District Attorney.

It was a trial marked by many surprises.

Notably the beautiful defendant's startling disclosure

of the jewel vault.

hidden in the apartment of the late diamond importer.

The beautiful Madeleine Damien goes free

and Broadway is tipping its hat today

to the young doctor

who engaged the murderer in a battle royal.

Mrs. Geiger, I've been looking for Ms. Damien.

Have you seen her?

- Foi embora, deixou-lhe isto.

She's gone. She asked me to you this.

Gone? Where did she go?

I couldn't get a word out of her, but I know she left

to the airport more than an hour ago.

David, dear, I can still hear your voice in that courtroom

And I'll never forget what you said.

You did much more than save my life,

you made my life worth saving.

I can't bear to tell you how much I love you

and want to marry you,

but right now that wouldn't be fair.

I'm going away for a while.

I want to be terribly sure

after all this that I can really be the kind of person

you once thought I was.

Maybe after a while that will be possible

and then, when we're both sure, David,

please ask me again.

Good bye, my darling.

Passengers on flight 41,

boarding at gate 6.

Will you try and see me once in a while?

Of course.

You see, I want to be sure of myself.

I'm sure of you.

Are you really?

After what you've been through, I'm very sure.

Good bye.

I still think you're making a mistake.
