My Name Is Julia Ross Page #5

of yours will ever get here?

I got a letter off to him.

They thought it was just

a blank sheet of paper

but I had a second letter,

I fooled them.

I really sent that.

- When did you post it?

- Yesterday, it ought to be there today.

Enough of that, Peters.

Peters...

Then you're not really a doctor?

- I told you not to let her.

- It may not have him reached yet.

Peters, hurry up to London

and get that letter before it's delivered.

Take the car and drive

as fast as you can.

Where does he live?

Dennis Bruce,

51 Carrington Street in Bloomsbury.

I brought Dr. Powell, Mrs. Hughes.

- We're not too late?

- No.

Did you find out what she took?

She didn't really

take anything, doctor.

She admitted she

just meant to frighten us.

I'm sorry you've had

this wild goose chase...

But now that you are here,

perhaps you'd be good enough

to take a look at her.

- You might give her something

to calm her. - Certainly.

- Marion, open the door.

- Go away, I don't want to see anybody.

But Marion dear please,

don't be afraid,

the doctor won't hurt you.

No, he won't hurt me,

he'll just kill me!

That's what you want him to do,

you all want me dead.

It's hopeless, hopeless,

she'll never recover.

Oh doctor, what are we to do?

She thinks we're all her enemies.

Tried to kill herself she did.

There's no use trying to

see her now, she's too upset.

I'd suggest taking

her to the hospital

and keeping her under

observation for a while.

My son refuses

to have her taken away.

Yes, but it's for her own protection.

I must try to persuade my son,

he's so devoted to Marion.

But if we say

it's just for observation.

Then I'll make all the arrangements.

Possibly I could come for her tonight.

I think it'd be better

if you waited until the morning.

Very well.

- I hope we can help her.

- I hope so too.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye Mrs. Hughes.

Ralph, the doctor will

come for her in the morning.

She'll be ready.

Hold you horses, hold your...

- Yes?

- Do you have a room for rent?

Yes, third floor back,

20 shillings a week.

Payment in advance and no cooking.

- I'll take a look at it.

- I'll send the girl up with you.

The doctor says I've got to

spare myself as much as I can.

Bertha!

Bertha!

That girl's never around

when she's wanted.

Anyway, it's a very tidy room

and as quiet as a tombstone.

That's fine, I'll take it.

I need not see it.

The children and I will

move in tonight.

- Here, what children?

- My two little girls.

Oh, you'll like them,

they're full of life.

Sorry, but I never take children.

Anyway, the room's taken.

I've got to have a room,

I've been turned out.

Try lower down the street,

Mrs. Ellingsworth.

I think she takes them,

it's very near.

I'll rush down there

at once, thank you very much.

Children and dogs,

whoever heard of such a thing!

That's funny.

That's funny, that letter

was here a minute ago.

Why... there was only him and me.

Here, wait a minute.

Hey, hey there!

Stop that man! Stop him!

Stop that man! Police!

Julia.

Julia Ross.

Julia?

Dennis?

Julia, hurry.

- Dennis?

- Yes.

- I'll wait for you downstairs.

- Oh yes, I'll hurry.

Where are you, Dennis?

Down here.

Julia, hurry.

You're not Dennis.

Who are you?

Why are you calling me Julia?

Why don't you answer?

- She's recognized my voice.

- I thought she'd be too excited.

Well, she saved us a lot of trouble.

Now that it's happened,

I'm frightened.

We have nothing to fear.

We'll be telling the truth

when we say it's suicide.

Yes.

Who's the weak one now?

Come, let's go down there.

Mrs. Hughes, I've

had an emergency call

which will take me

away all day tomorrow.

I'm so glad you're here. She must have

heard us talking.

She's always threatened to kill

herself before she'd be locked up.

- She hasn't...?

- Yes and I blame myself.

Shall we all stand here

talking and doing nothing?

Nurse, I'll go on down with them.

You telephone for an ambulance.

- Yes, doctor.

Ralph, hurry. Get down

there before the doctor does.

She'll surely be dead

but just in case she isn't...

Come along, Mrs. Hughes.

We thought you'd try to do that.

We wanted to see

what you were going to do

when you found her there alone.

But I don't understand.

She jumped from that window.

No, I only threw my robe over

to make you think I jumped.

Then I got out

through the secret door.

It's lucky we met her on the road.

Marion, Marion darling,

I don't know what to say.

There's nothing for you to

say, you're under arrest.

We caught Peters in London.

- Peters?

- Yes.

Stop or I'll shoot.

No!

No!

You know I've made a resolution.

The next time I apply for a job

I'll ask for the references!

- I know a good job.

- Secretary?

A combination secretary, nurse,

companion...

That sounds like a wife.

Well, how about it?

I'll have to have some

time to think it over.

- How long?

- About 5 seconds.

One, two, three, four...
