I teased:

1283

01:
21:05,290 -- 01:21:06,590

21:26,100 -- 01:21:29,400

Then I received the letter

Carlotta you command your sister.

1291

01:
21:30,000 -- 01:21:32,800

I immediately saw that you a

page had disappeared,

01:
21:33,200 -- 01:21:37,300

probably in that page are

revealing the identity of the killer

1293

01:
21:38,000 -- 01:21:42,700

But there were other changes

insignificant; missing two letters.

1294

01:
21:43,900 -- 01:21:45,600

At the top where said:

1295

01:
21:46,100 -- 01:21:49,000

"To the liked my imitation"

"by Jane Wilkinson"

1296

01:
21:49,400 -- 01:21:51,800

missing two letters

an "L" and an "A":

1297

01:
21:51,810 -- 01:21:55,410

To read "When she liked"

"my imitation of Jane Wilkinson"

1298

01:
21:56,110 -- 01:21:59,710

Is lady Edgwere is?

are you guilty of everything?

1299

01:
22:01,910 -- 01:22:04,610

Or Geraldine who hated?

both his father?

1300

01:
22:06,510 -- 01:22:09,510

Or Ms. Carroll that?

used corrective lenses?

1301

01:
22:10,510 -- 01:22:14,410

Or Ms. Driver that felt?

so many lady Edgwere jealousy?

1302

01:
22:15,210 -- 01:22:16,610

1305

01:
22:28,610 -- 01:22:31,610

Carlotta Adams exits

his apartment at seven

1306

01:
22:32,110 -- 01:22:34,510

and take a taxi to

a small hotel

1307

01:
22:34,510 -- 01:22:36,310

in a remote part

City

1308

01:
22:36,910 -- 01:22:40,810

where must you register

with a false name.

1309

01:
22:41,310 -- 01:22:43,110

Takes its makeup case

1310

01:
22:43,110 -- 01:22:47,110

and a few glasses to

gave as a costume.

1311

01:
22:50,910 -- 01:22:53,710

An hour later

touch the door

1312

01:
22:54,610 -- 01:22:56,610

and Carlotta opens to...

1313

01:
22:57,610 -- 01:22:58,910

.. .lady Edgwere.

1314

01:
22:58,920 -- 01:22:59,920

-Hello.

-Hello.

1315

01:
23:00,020 -- 01:23:01,020

This is going to be fun.

1316

01:
23:03,720 -- 01:23:05,820

The two women

exchanged their costumes

1317

01:
23:06,520 -- 01:23:08,720

The evening gown

and Jane Hat

1318

01:
23:09,020 -- 01:23:11,520

by the black dress and the

Carlotta Pearl necklace.

1319

01:
23:12,620 -- 01:23:16,620

Then in the wig from

Jane Wilkinson, Carlotta leaves the hotel

1320

01:
23:17,220 -- 01:23:20,720

to practise their

cover talent.

1321

01:
23:20,720 -- 01:23:22,820

Sir Montague dinner.

1322

01:
23:29,820 -- 01:23:32,020

Which leaves impressed

like Donald Ross

1323

01:
23:32,620 -- 01:23:35,020

with their knowledge of the

Greek art

1324

01:
23:40,820 -- 01:23:42,220

The guests were unknown

1325

01:
23:42,820 -- 01:23:48,020

because Montague likes to present new and different people in their meetings.

1326

01:
23:48,620 -- 01:23:52,520

In these circumstances,

Carlotta Adams

1327

01:
23:52,720 -- 01:23:56,820

with his hair, imitating their voice and their manners,

1328

01:
23:57,620 -- 01:24:00,520

all of which he persuaded

It was Jane Wilkinson.

1329

01:
24:01,220 -- 01:24:03,420

And if not so

expected.

1330

01:
24:05,420 -- 01:24:08,520

With a dark wig

to mimic the hair of Carlotta.

1331

01:
24:09,130 -- 01:24:10,730

and with the black dress

and glasses,

1332

01:
24:11,330 -- 01:24:14,530

Jane Montague House call

asking about lady Edgwere

1333

01:
24:15,530 -- 01:24:17,830

If you have not discovered that

She is Carlotta

1334

01:
24:17,830 -- 01:24:20,430

She will have to respond

simply "okay".

1335

01:
24:24,530 -- 01:24:27,830

To hear these words

Jane will run as planned.

1336

01:
24:29,630 -- 01:24:31,230

Enter House of excellence

1337

01:
24:31,230 -- 01:24:34,230

Removes and hides the wig and glasses

1338

01:
24:34,230 -- 01:24:38,330

then plays the buzzer

the Butler opens the door...

1339

01:
24:46,530 -- 01:24:50,430

..and passes through the lobby while

Ms. Carroll viewed from above,

1340

01:
24:51,030 -- 01:24:52,330

go to the library...

1341

01:
24:53,640 -- 01:24:56,140

and once there stabs her husband.

1342

01:
25:04,540 -- 01:25:05,840

I have not because hearing this.

1343

01:
25:06,140 -- 01:25:07,640

Because you need to do so.

1344

01:
25:09,340 -- 01:25:11,840

You have a great imagination

1345

01:
25:11,840 -- 01:25:14,840

and is a great account stories

1346

01:
25:16,340 -- 01:25:19,940

But I didn't have any

reason to kill my husband

1347

01:
25:19,940 -- 01:25:22,740

the me was to grant the divorce

You told me.

1348

01:
25:23,440 -- 01:25:25,240

As I knew it would.

1349

01:
25:26,240 -- 01:25:28,540

But the circumstances

had changed.

1350

01:
25:29,240 -- 01:25:32,840

You would no longer to marry with a

actor, would not, married a Duke

1351

01:
25:33,250 -- 01:25:38,150

an aristocrat who could not

marrying a divorcee

1352

01:
25:39,050 -- 01:25:43,450

Of course that a widow under certain circumstances

1353

01:
25:43,150 -- 01:25:45,350

It would be acceptable.

1354

01:
25:47,150 -- 01:25:48,150

Where was?

1355

01:
25:49,250 -- 01:25:50,250

Oh if...

1356

01:
25:53,750 -- 01:25:57,850

Meet the matter, Jane

return to the hotel room

1357

01:
25:58,150 -- 01:26:01,150

where to place a box

of mother-of-Pearl

1358

01:
26:01,350 -- 01:26:03,750

with a bit of veronal,

1359

01:
26:03,750 -- 01:26:06,650

in the case of

Carlotta makeup.

1360

01:
26:07,350 -- 01:26:12,350

But it is a letter

where your name mentioned

1361

01:
26:13,050 -- 01:26:14,450

and revealing everything.

1362

01:
26:17,050 -- 01:26:18,950

Probably his first

reaction was panic

1363

01:
26:19,050 -- 01:26:20,150

We must destroy it,

1364

01:
26:20,850 -- 01:26:24,350

but to read it

realizes something

1365

01:
26:25,260 -- 01:26:28,660

that if you delete a single page,

1366

01:
26:28,660 -- 01:26:32,060

You can delete any mention of his name

1367

01:
26:32,060 -- 01:26:36,460

and leaves as responsible

all Ronald Marsh.

1368

01:
26:37,060 -- 01:26:42,060

Even if the note an alibi

There will be named accusing him.
