Under Suspicion Page #7

Synopsis: In 1959 Brighton, disgraced cop turned private detective Tony Aaron works largely on falsifying adulteries for use as evidence in divorce cases. He involves his wife as the fictional co-respondent for painter Carlo Stasio but the pair are shot dead in the hotel room. In charge of the case is Frank, Tony's ex-partner still on the Brighton force. His most likely suspects are Angeline, Stasio's mistress who is set to inherit his house and pictures, and Tony himself, parts of whose story don't seem to add up.

Please. Please...

Please, I'm innocent.

I'm innocent!

[KEYS RATTLING]

What's wrong?

Don't want to go

or something?

Bye.

Good.

You leaving Brighton?

That sounded like

a command.

I didn't mean--

I know.

Well... there's still

a lot of people

you owe money to.

Yeah.

What? No, Frank.

Go on.

No.

Buy yourself a suit

and a shave.

I'm sorry I didn't believe you.

Life's too short.

Well, look, I'll see you around.

I don't think so.

It's not

visiting day.

Frank swung it for me.

I thought you'd like

some fresh air.

So where are you going?

Oh, America.

I was going there.

I didn't quite

make it, though.

So how much

did she pay you?

What?

Selina.

Please, don't start.

She's certainly got enough now.

You should at least get half,

all the risks you've taken.

You were bound to go to prison

for fixing the divorces.

That was good.

That threw people

off the scent.

You thought, "Six months

for double murder,

that can't be bad."

I didn't come here for this.

You...

searching through my things,

looking for evidence.

You remember?

Sure. I remember.

But you weren't searching

for evidence, were you?

You were planting it

for Frank to find.

You only got to know me

so you could set me up.

Goodbye, Angeline.

Then who killed them

if it wasn't you?

You did.

And you're still trying

to drag somebody down

with you, even now.

You killed him. That's

why you're doing life.

Think yourself lucky

you're not a man.

They would have hanged you

by now.

Oh, I'll think myself lucky.

Don't go.

I've got a boat to catch.

I miss you.

I miss you every day.

I'm-- I'm sorry

nothing turned out right.

Tony, you have to

tell me.

I'm going to go crazy in here

not knowing for sure.

Please... just tell me.

No one

will believe me,

no matter

what I say.

I've got to know.

Just tell me once...

Did you do it?

Did you?

Whisper.

Did you?

Did you do it?

Is he in?

I've only put

but I could sell the lot.

Everything.

I want to wait a while...

until the prices go up.

We're going

to be very rich.

You know, I might

make you an offer

for your Stasio one day.

You said she was

only after his money,

but she wasn't.

She just wanted to be somebody.

Who cares?

She's out of the way now.

You fell in love with her,

didn't you?

That's why

you waited so long

to plant the evidence.

No.

No, it was just business.

Come on, Tony.

You've got everything

you always wanted.
