old families in sicily aren't waiting on

landowners murdered him

we can use that one strong push from you

and the people will rise

it is a time of great sadness

sir harry and after the march

mass demonstrations yes

it is time

but with respect this is a british

investigation this thing is too big for

us we need help

you know what to do

[Music]

[Music]

so

what's this all about colonel

it appears the new investigating

officers

want to see you

did you say miami yes sir see i don't

get this well maybe you should ask the

duke for enlightenment the miami police

department's been under investigation

for years this is an interesting case

but i'm quite sure we could have managed

without bringing you i got to get to the

airport my wife's doing that we can

arrange to have them picked up sir peter

gentlemen

this is mr demarini

so you're the cow

you should have broken out the drinks

the dancing girls

i drove a couple of dinner guests home

and i went back to my farm

why did you stop outside this house i

told you i was tired i was upset and i

wanted to stop think

at 1 30 a.m in the middle of a storm for

a few minutes yeah you're on bad terms

with the old man would you

i regret i was

i hope you did too

you're not entertaining the idea that i

might have killed him are you

we'd like to examine you under a

microscope any objections no

why

purely routine we'll be doing this with

everybody

hold up your hands

this is supposed to be the microscope

what'd you get at the junior g-man club

it's nasty burn you get that

yeah it happened last night when i was

lighting a candle

take off your shirt

[Music]

so

did you see my father

i'm so sorry

the murderer struck sir harry about the

head with a heavy blunt instrument

he then poured insecticide on sir harry

while he was still alive

but stunned

he then set him on fire

apparently hey

you really have to listen to this now no

i want to hear it

you're exhausted i want to hear it all

because of the uh bloodied hand marks on

the wall

we believe that the heat revives her

harry

and he staggered around the room

and despite the excruciating pain

he valiantly fought off his attack

i keep thinking about it

i close my eyes

and i can see him burning

can we step into so much

he must have screamed

i want to call out to him

[Music]

but he can't hear me because of the

flames

[Music]

[Music]

i could give you this

no one who knew harry would ever accuse

him of being a patient man

he loved life too much for that

i'm sure he's restless for these

ceremonies to end so he can begin his

journey

harry spent most of his life

traveling the world

when i met him in australia he was a

gold miner from maine

who'd made his fortune in canada

but this is the place he loved the most

i know that when i come back here i will

feel only

the emptiness and the loss

but for harry

all is well

he's truly home now

i'm in love

godspeed

[Music]

if there's anything i can do

no see

your father was a great man

he's a great friend to me

thank you

i'd like to

sponsor some sort of memorial to

grab scholarships for local children

you would have liked that thank you

when you walk with me

yeah the americans have been giving you

a hard time yeah i don't know why the

difference

my little sense of keystone cops

even tell

what your steps are up

know where i am if you need me

[Music]

is there anybody in nasa you know might

have a reason for killing no one here

with a personal reason to understand you

have some enemies

it's a great deal of money

hot isn't it

i thought miami was hot

could you pour me a glass of water

why are you wasting time

what

just beginning to see why the movies

always show you guys as dumb platforms

[Laughter]

if i told you you were seen on these

grounds the night of the murder what

would you say

i'd say it's a damn lie

you can't believe i had anything to do

with this the man was my wife's father

for god's sakes everything okay

okay

that's it count

let's go inside

[Music]

[Music]

alfred the marine name

alfred

mrs marini please

alfred de mourinho i have had a warrant

for your arrest on the charge of

murdering sir harry oaks

i must warn you that anything you say

may be taken down and used in evidence

against

[Music]

sir harry oaks was murdered because he

dared to fail at decent ways

because he dared to talk peace with us

when we were sir harry we were real men

who does any englishman

so harry's killer

mustang

the crowd could watch the jail at any

moment sir they want to lynch him

this isn't dodge city major dr gordon is

trying to make a political issue of it

just blowing hot air not this time sir

he's saying that marina was hired by the

other landowners to kill sir harry that

we're going to stage a show trial

then let him off

not bloody likely

[Music]

let me through please

he's in my office

no no

come on it's all right

that's all right

let's just call adelie and get me out of

this god mistaken place

i can't believe this is happening let's

not be afraid of a stupid mistake here i

can be out of here by tomorrow you know

we call him and he said he'd help there

are people out there that wanna hang out

there's no one here who's gonna hang me

i'm gonna be home in the morning

you gotta stay with your mother tonight

anyway

[Music]

you're all she has left

evidence is there it's very clear

somehow i always knew it had to be him

alfred could never do those terrible

things

that's what he'd like us to believe

i'm sorry mrs damarini but he's smart

your husband he made it look like some

black magic nut did it

that's crazy

there's no use pretending nancy

he has a burn on his hand

what does that prove he set your father

on fire we have him tied to the burning

[Music]

we must ease racial tensions as royal

highness wants this trial concluded as

swiftly as possible but surely that's a

matter for the prosecutor

you're being uncommon islam the uptick

old man

me

you're the best barrister in the

caribbean

is he

then this is a direct request from his

royal highness well the duke did ask me

to talk to you before he makes it

official

[Music]

i'm sorry

mr adelie's decided to prosecute

i can't believe this

well someone was obviously determined

you wouldn't get in for the defense so

who else can we get

i've met a few inquiries in the island

looking for the best barrister i can

unfortunately do this oh they all take

it for granted i'm guilty well no one

wants to go up against mr adelie you see

so what i've decided is to bring in

someone from london no no no an outsider

is no good here i need someone who knows

the way things are run down here you

know someone like yourself

me why not you

joking hey listen i'm not joking as of

right now i need you and i want you to

defend me no no i'd attack some divorce

man i can't remember the last time i

tried a real case well how difficult can

this be i don't have a motive for

killing my father

motive of 200 million pounds left in

sahaja yoga what are you saying you

think i'm guilty

i haven't made up my mind yet

i'm sorry i'm late darling

nanny's staying overnight he's not

wanting to have an evening off to

ourselves god three

now what's this i hear about you

defending the count no such thing

wallace

nancy did ask me to defend him but i've

advised her to bring in the big guns

from london

i'm so glad i'm sure joyce would hate to

see your reputation sullied by such a

vile

character i try never to make moral

judgments about godfrey's clients

doesn't british justice allow every dog

his day in court

well fortunately i'm not a lawyer's wife

i think anyone who defends scum is uh

worse than scum

lovely to see you both

it seems like everyone wants to stretch

through mourinho's neck

you're not planning to take a hand

no i'm not the man for this case

[Music]

anyway it's almost certain that the

mourinho is good

then why do you have that look in your

eye

what look

the look says your sense of fair play

has been deeply offended

thank you ancient

you honestly believe that he's innocent

he is innocent

how can you be so blind hasn't he

degraded your mother you've turned your

back on me on your father on your whole

family that's not true

i love alfred the way you love dad

no

all right

maybe it was my money that attracted him

at first maybe

but can you honestly say that when you

first met dad that you were just a

little bit attracted to that gold mine

of his

that'll be all new

you love dad

i love alfred

it doesn't matter what brought us he

killed your father no he didn't

i may as well tell

you i've hired somebody to help me prove

it

what's the point of that

alfred needs help

i'll help him all right

i'll help him

i'll stand up in court and make sure

that he's hanged by the neck until he's

dead

motive

if you didn't kill him who did i don't

know godfrey you know maybe a thief

because there were a lot of rumors no no

no a thief wouldn't have taken the

trouble to burn the body and then cover

it in feathers try dr gordon he uses a

lot of voodoo in his routines listen

godfrey i am thrilled you know that

you're taking this case but buddy i am

beginning to feel a rope here

all right

what about the marks on the

wall there were hand prints and they

were smudged with blood

there was also mud and sand and

footprints that were all over the stairs

you mean they weren't washed away by the

storm the inside stairs inside

yeah the police even have the stairs

cordoned off why

well it's just that the american

detectives

are saying that the murder entered by

way of the outside stairs

first thing i want to do is bring my own

fingerprint excellent in here

something wrong

the police have taken down the barriers

they're cleaning the stairs

the hell do you think you're doing our

orders are to clean the house sir

you're removing crucial evidence

[Music]

how could you be so damned irresponsible

you appear to have removed the

fingerprint evidence from the staircase

and the walls

prints could have belonged to the

murderer

they're not the counts

i mean why confuse the evidence

[Music]

mr schindler i'm sorry you must have

made a mistake

i'm sorry

excuse me uh

maybe i'm the one you're looking for

you're mrs damarani

you're mr schindler

you were expecting maybe humphrey bogart

right

how's that

the car is this way

so did you have a chance to review the

case

the case

what case

your husband's dangling by his thumbs

you've got to believe he's innocent

you've got two chances bad and none

do you make a habit of hanging your own

clients look mr demarini what i make a

habit of doing is trying to find out

what happened hanging is for the jury

now i'm trying to help you

alfred will never go to trial there's no

evidence it's all circumstantial

murder convictions on circumstantial

evidence of the rule rather than the

exception i'm sorry to tell you that

thank you very much

look uh

want to know what i think please i tell

you what i think

evidence of a motive in this case is

going to be critical

the prosecution is going to try to prove

that your husband was a womanizer a

fortune hunter that's ridiculous how can

they prove that

wait a minute he was up to his eyeballs

in red ink wasn't he

my mother dug up some bank students that

showed that he was overdrawn but i

haven't had time to ask him about it

well believe me the jury's gonna have

all the time they want to to ask about

it

did anyone actually see you burn your

hand one of mark's friends did i don't

know why you haven't asked her

what the friend of one gigolo lying to

protect another one

my friends call me jiggle on mr shin i

need to tell you something pal they

gonna be throwing that word around the

courtroom every day yes our biggest

problem is the growing public hostility

to warns you

they're going to poison the atmosphere

and the court

well i don't see how anyone here can

even consider that i'm part of a plot

against these workers because they're

scared they think that sir harry's death

is going to mean fewer jobs more wages

you've done your homework

what i've been doing is hanging around

the marketplace

it's crazy what goes on down there not

stuff look at this voodoo i mean look

gary huh

are you serious

i'm not the one looking at a trap door

opening up under my feet

if you don't think you can handle the

investigation hey i can make a stab at

it if it doesn't require classical

education

you know i tell you what else they're

saying down there they're saying that

you raped your wife that you got a

pregnant and you forced her to marry you

really yeah in fact they're even

printing it up

leaflets

here look

what am i supposed to say to that

it's hot stuff read it perversions

orgies you can't see that someone is

doing this to me yes yes of course but

if the jury believes it then you're done

for your job gentlemen is to find out

who's behind it

[Applause]

grieving widow in black is gonna put the

noose around our client's neck

you see i've hired a private detective

to help me with the defense and until

dad's will is settled that's money i

don't have

yes i see

i need your help harold

mother will give me anything oh

i i understand i'm sorry

you know i'm good for it i mean i stand

to inherit a lot of money oh i know that

and alfred knew that and now he's in the

dock for murder

i can't let you squander another penny

on this one

please you're the only one i can turn to

i need your help i am helping you

darling

by not having

he could have the courtesy to send me a

refusal

you know

what do you mean

i sent you a lot of messages now

yes yes i

i regret the situation can you regret it

what are you gonna stand here now and

tell me i'm not being framed

uh can't you see someone's taking out

everybody could possibly help me here

including you well i'm simply doing my

job oh i thought your job is to find the

truth my job is to serve the crown and

stop these islands being torn apart your

job is to find the truth

made please my lord

[Music]

gentleman of the jury

the prosecution will prove that alfred

de martin

murdered sahari oaks in cold blood with

malice a forethought

a murderer

as black as hell as dark

as night

a deed

which could only originate in a depraved

and

[Music]

you help the cat get his chicken farm

off the ground didn't you curtis

you must know him pretty well he's a

good boss he's a good man

i'm thinking maybe it was you who drove

him to westbourne the night sir harry

was murdered

no i i didn't drive him anywhere

you'll be out of a job when your bosses

hang

who's going to look after you then

do yourself a favor curtis

tell us what time you drove the count to

westbourne

i didn't drive him anywhere

mr christie

did your friend harry ever discuss with

you his relation with the accused

he said that he and the count had a

strained relationship

they couldn't help arguing every time

they met

with his argument violent

carrie told me that the count once

attacked him with a candlestick and

threatened to kill him

no further questions

did you wake up at any time that night

mr christie

yes twice i think

i was awakened by the mosquitoes

i get you did not

hear or see any sign of disturbance

no

even though sahara was being violently

bludgeoned to death in the room next

door to you

no

even though he was on fire

and must have been crying out in

terrible pain i told you i slept through

it all

yes yes

so you did mr christie

except for the

mosquitoes

[Music]

did you ask the accused if he had ever

been inside the master bedroom

he told me he had never been inside

now you say that the screen wasn't the

masturbator

did you examine the screen for

fingerprints

i

did but as you can see the screen was

badly burnt

but there were plenty of prints left

they all belonged to sir harry lady oaks

some of the household servants

except for one

and to whom

did this fingerprint belong

it belonged to finger number five the

little finger on the right hand

of alfred de marini

alfred de marini

who claims that he had never been inside

that master bedroom

[Music]

get this the cops found de morini's

fingerprint at the scene of the crime

he's as guilty as sin

we're in the clear

oh you've got nothing to worry about mr

lansky the marines already got his head

in the nose

i'm not worried

that's your job remember that mikey

don't worry about a famous

[Music]

[Music]

we are doing the right thing would you

rather stay with all these questions

i'm sorry sir it is important

it's dr gordon he's organizing a march

on nassau march i believe you should

stay sir let's settle the question

lieutenant our american tour is much too

important

yes i'm sure you chat can handle a minor

demonstration or two in the case of a

real emergency our major nichols knows

where to contact us

make sure they get the special order sir

[Music]

[Laughter]

[Music]

wait a minute this is simple this

happened after harry's body was

discovered you said you were never in

the bedroom not before the murder no but

the next morning the police commissioner

symphony he took me upstairs hold it

you're saying the commissioner was with

you yes and when i could no longer stand

a look at the condition harry was in i

got sick and that's when i touched that

screen

so you grabbed the screen and that was

the morning after the murder correct is

this going to up likely to remember how

could you forget i was an emotional

wreck

we've got to get him here right away

[Music]

uh pardon me ma'am

the commissioner where is he

posted to trinidad the orders came

through yesterday

[Music]

your daughter evidently did not share

your poor opinion of her husband's

character did she

no

he was able to exert a hold over her a

whole what kind of a whole

sexual of course

mother

good bells like dangerous man one might

say i protest this cheap innuendo

mr adley is leading the witness into the

realm of vindictive speculation i will

not permit that kind of remark mr adelie

i have no further questions

lady oaks

can you deny that your daughter

genuinely loves the accused

it isn't love

it's the immature passion of a

schoolgirl

marine is an older man who's made a

profession of attracting women he's

induced her

uh lady over she was forced to marry him

not true eunice you know it's not true i

will tolerate no further disruptions in

this courtroom

counter marry me control yourself

oaks

do try not to indulge in speculation

kindly limit your testimony to what you

know

to be true

i know

that my daughter is married to a

murderer my lord really i know

that i have nothing to live for anymore

he's destroyed my family

everything that i love he's taken away

from me

back to nassau to testify

she is not going to stop is she

doesn't she know she's ruining her life

for that fortune hunt

for love

what will you tell her

but i know how she feels

there was a time when nothing else

mattered to me except love

not even my crown

i didn't realize until too late that in

abdicating my responsibilities

i also forfeited respect

my dear nancy

as the king who gave up everything for

love

i feel i can say this to you honestly

and simply

be

practical face facts

don't give up everything for love

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

what are you doing

nothing

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

my name is schindler we're here to talk

about your son edgar

mrs kembona please i'm nancy de mourini

edgar not here do you know where he went

we need to talk to him he was on duty

the night my father was killed edgar

don't know nothing you've got to leave

us alone look mrs kimbona the life of

this young lady's husband may depend on

edgar we need your help

did he run away was he afraid of

something

a man come looking for him a young

next thing he got gone an american guy

like me

i don't want that man coming wrong here

that yank is a bad man leave us alone

[Music]

one of those detectives from miami

[Music]

the accused fingerprint

is it still on the screen

i'm afraid not no uh

the heat and humidity in these islands

make fingerprints disappear in a couple

of days

but at least you were able to take a

photograph of it on the screen no i

didn't bring my

fingerprint camera with me i took an

impression with a strip of gum rubber

instead

it's a very reliable procedure

so

since the fingerprint is no longer on

the screen nor do we have a photograph

of it on the screen

we have only your word that it was even

on the screen in the first place

yeah i guess that's right my lord

exhibit j cannot possibly be regarded as

valid evidence

your point i take it is that it might be

a forgery that is absolutely my fear and

my contention

my lord

the duke of windsor himself summoned

captain barker as a fingerprint expert

the court

finds no reason to question captain

barker's credentials

and it accepts exhibit j as evidence

thank you my lord

[Music]

so

[Music]

there was a car that was following me

all the way home

you don't believe me that somebody

followed you

are you that desperate to prove a

conspiracy that you're imagining things

i'm imagining things

you imagined quite a few things in court

the other day

i didn't mean to hurt you please believe

me then just go down to the jail and

talk to alphabet

face it

he's as good as dead

what get used to it gets better believe

me it gets better who doesn't

is it getting better for you mother no

your father was the love of my life

the only hope i have is not to feel

anything

nothing

no grief

nothing

[Music]

can you understand how i feel

[Music]

the random number of the telephone book

lady oaks

now we'll see who shows up

[Music]

how will i know them

i got 100 somebody you already know

so what do i do when i see them

nothing

absolutely nothing

listen let's get this straight

i think that all we had to do is make an

identification here

i got a feeling that whoever it is knows

something about it gets murdered so why

don't play st jones huh

[Music]

don't you worry

i'm gonna be right nearby it's almost 11

o'clock

[Music]

[Music]

beautiful

everything is beautiful here yes

it's very peaceful

harold

did you hear about edgar yes

i was very sorry about that he was a

good man the american detectives are

saying it was an accident

i was in the room when he called

he told nancy that

that there were several men here the

night that harry was killed are you sure

there are crank calls after every murder

no no it wasn't a crank call you said it

yourself edgar was a good man

are you coming

[Music]

fancy safety run

look out

run

run

run

[Music]

you all right

they must be having a sale today on

white suits

[Music]

there's a guy over there under that

banyan tree

take a look

you know him

huh

my father and mr christy had business

with him oh yeah

maybe you better go have a talk with

uncle harold

i can assure you that michael vinson is

a very reputable businessman

since he tapped my phone i'd say he's a

little less reputable than you think

wouldn't you agree

i'm sure he did nothing like that

tell me about vincent harold

my dear girl

england is at war

we live in a british colony

there are certain

temporary restrictions

that make it difficult for some of us to

pursue our investments

currency controls yes

well now it so happens that we've

managed to find a way around him

how does that tie in with vincent was he

involved somehow with you and dad moving

money around well

he knew about it

then he tried to convince us

to help him

help him do what well simply to get

certain games of chance

into some hotels boost tourism

so he was blackmailing you and dad to to

help change the laws against gambling

you've got to tell the police about it

not bloody likely

drag vince's name into this you drag

vincent into this

and he'll spill his guts

about our foreign investments

i could be arrested your father's name

dragged through the mud you want that

but if vincent is behind this whole

thing

your father's death is a mystery

but i can tell you

benson

did not kill him

how the hell do you know that

it's backers they're never never going

to

permit him to risk a tremendous business

deal

by committing

murder you can take my word for it

who wants harold

your word isn't good enough

[Music]

so

[Music]

you

[Music]

leave us alone

what's going on

i want to talk

you know what

about your wife's safety

she's been asking too many questions

are you so much just going near my wife

and i'll count easy easy

the way i see it you've got two choices

one

that pretty little lady of yours keeps

digging up mud until it sticks on some

friends of mine

in which case i'm gonna have to hurt her

choice two you get her to back off

you kill those

are you kidding me

you killed oaks

nothing's gonna save you

[Music]

your husband already has a visitor

[Music]

i'll find you

maybe

well let me ask you something count in

all good conscience

is it worth risking even one hair of an

innocent girl's head just to cause me a

little bit of embarrassment

[Music]

oh

she recognized this

pretty huh

uh

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

you think about what i might do

[Music]

[Laughter]

[Music]

i call alfred de mourinho

i swear by almighty god that the

evidence i shall give shall be the truth

the whole truth and nothing but the

truth

your name is alfred de mourinho

it is

alfred de mourinho did you or did you

not murder sir harry oaks

no i did not

does that conclude your examination mr

higgs yes my lord mr mourinho has

nothing to hide he's testifying because

he wishes to answer honestly and

completely

all my learned friends most searching

questions

your statement from the nassau branch of

the royal bank indicate that you had an

overdraft of 58 pounds seven shillings

and sixpence at the time of sahari's

murder

you were desperate for money weren't you

no i wasn't desperate

i was worried as you have worried about

money all of your life you have met and

courted many wealthy women have you not

objection question is

prejudicial sustained

and you hope had you not for some

monetary gain by marrying sir harry's

daughter there he goes again my lord mr

adelie i married my wife here sir

because i love her

and how did you intend to support her

i had a contractor at the time to sell

eggs and broilers to the military bases

and my prospects were excellent

excellent indeed

since your right to to inherit over 100

million pounds upon her father's death

that is very true that didn't occur to

me too much at the time but that is very

true so it was merely a remarkable

coincidence that harry was murdered at

the time when you desperately i am

innocent here sir you have heard the

police testify that they have found your

fingerprint on that screen into harry's

bed no sir i touched that screen the

morning after the murder and the police

commissioner was there and he saw me do

it but colonel linda deposition makes no

mention of that well you bring him back

here and you ask him about it and he'll

tell you he's on would you also tell us

how he saw you burnt your hand i burned

my hand on a hurricane lamp oh no sir

you burnt it while setting sir harry a

light i didn't you left your fingerprint

while blizzarding him to death dammit i

didn't do it i didn't do it you counter

marie you

murdered

it doesn't matter you told me you didn't

know don't push this if you don't tell

me the truth about this i'm going to

take it to the papers vince's casinos

harold christie's currency deals i'll

blow the topic weren't you in court

today it's over do you understand

life you live who the hell are you

i came here to hide from a sneaking

sideshow back there what the hell are

saying i take it for your money now get

her out of here

get her out of here

[Music]

[Music]

um

[Music]

you must be

schindler

seems to me that somebody failed to

advise you how to dress for this climate

well you see in my line of work i don't

get much of a chance to frequent all

those smart shots

you know you got a nice place here

i mean

you could build a good hotel maybe even

a casino i agree with you

but is there really anything that we

have to say to each other

sorry to bring you out of here like this

but uh

i got some news big stuff really really

yeah miss nancy's leaving the count

i suppose that that was to have been

expected

yeah but the way she tells it he threw

her out

that's supposed to mean something

yeah

means that he was lying to protect him

projector

from whom

from your old rama running friend mike

vincent

even a fine gentleman can't hide

everything in his pants

you're a detective

and nancy is paying you to come up with

smarmy stuff like that well listen to

this huh

after vincent found out that we saw him

at the gardens he went to the count

he threatened to hurt miss nancy

did he yeah he did

that means somebody must have tipped him

off and there was only one person miss

nancy told that we were on to him

uh

do you get my drift now mr christian

very interesting speculation

schindler

let me come up and not you two you see i

know the racket crowd pretty well i was

on the phone last night to miami in new

york i got your number well what is my

lucky number

you're selling land to the mob where do

you think you are in a pool room now

listen

stay away from nancy get that straight

this cheap small time detective stuff is

gonna find you in over your head and i

would suggest you get your grimy gum

shoes off these islands of mine before

you find yourself stuck in them just for

the record these aren't gum shoes

hey you go back and tell that miami

bastard

nobody touches nancy nobody hurts her

i'm coming for you get off my land

it's the greatest amphibious operation

in military history the invasion of

sicily

accepting the surrender of mussolini's

troops

general george patton who leads the

invading third army in what has been

called the first page in the liberation

of the european continent

people did good huh

already i started making plans to make

sicily our new base of operations

would you like our first export from

sicily to be

heroin it's the wave of the future

we are back in business just like the

old days um

not like the old days you're talking

about be sitting on a hell of a pile of

dough

dirty money

the feds will get us the same way they

got capone

evasion so we wash it out in the bahamas

one spin of the wheel makes everything

clean

you sergeant

what are you up to

oh

good evening lieutenant

you know i uh i was just taking a look

at this fine piece of chinese

craftsmanship that's going to hang my

boy it all comes back to that

fingerprint

yeah

yeah but you know i tell you something

he said he grabbed the screen with his

hand

and yet there's only one fingerprint and

it's his pinky

go back to new york mr schindler i'd

like to do that lieutenant i really

would but um you know i'm a diligent

employee

i tell you something though this is one

i can't figure out we all knew the count

was probably guilty it's just too

perfect to print yeah it's better than

any i've ever seen

[Music]

it is too perfect isn't it

[Music]

all rise

be seated

mr higgs

have you concluded your case i know my

lord i'm not quite yet finished

i ask that a witness be recalled captain

james barker

call captain james barker

captain james barter

captain james barker

captain barker you appreciate that you

are still under earth

yeah

captain one hear such distressing

stories about american police methods

i trust that you treated my client with

courtesy throughout his examination

of course

you did not for example

deprive him of a glass of water

glasses and water were right there on a

table

very commendable

a glass is an excellent surface so which

fingerprints can be found is it not

sure

but there were no glasses at the murder

scene

what's he getting at now he's on to

something

where is the background

the one

the background texture on the screen

but surely your rubber method would have

lifted an impression of the background

texture from beneath the fingerprints

not necessarily

you lied about finding that fingerprint

on the screen didn't you i don't know

what you're talking about why did you

lie

is it because you're an ambitious

policeman greedy for a conviction i

didn't lie or is it because somebody

paid you to frame my plant

well what is it why did you lie johnson

is badgering the witness

the court has already ruled on the

admissibility of exhibit j

by law

this fingerprint is the most critical

issue in this case i beg you i beg you

to allow me to apply a test to its

validity

what kind of test i ask that you direct

captain barker to lift another

fingerprint from this objection

you wish to see whether or not the

background texture shows through yes my

lord if it does the case against my

client

is clearly manufactured

and if it doesn't show through you'll be

taking quite a chance mr higgs

so directed

the court will take a short recess to

allow captain barker to bring his

equipment here

what are you doing here

mr schindler explained everything to me

what does that mean

vincent won't bother anybody anymore

[Music]

so

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

so

[Music]

captain barker

can you explain why exhibit j

is so neat and clean without markings

whereas my lord's fingerprint shows

quite clearly the impression of the

texture of that screen

no i can't

i beg your pardon

no i can't

i put it to you captain barker that

exhibit j does not come from that screen

it does so i put it to you that you have

fabricated evidence

you're crazy i put it to you that it

came from a clear glass which mr de

mourinho handled while being questioned

by you the day after sir harry's murder

you can't prove it captain barker the

law regarding perjury is most severe

captain barker i will ask you again

did you fabricate evidence

i deny it i deny it deny it all you wish

sir

and that my lord the gentleman of

jewelry

is a case of defense

be seated

the prisoner will rise

members of the jury

are you all agreed upon your verdict

we are

do you find the prisoner

alfred de marigny

guilty or not guilty

not guilty my

lord di marinee you are hereby

discharged and are free to leave this

court

[Music]

he's free

uh

[Music]

i'm sorry i'm so sorry

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

who killed my father

[Music]

the real question is why was he killed

i was always trying to figure out a

motif for the murder

obviously

if vincent and mr christie could get

your father out of the way they could

change the gambling laws and build their

casinos

christy wouldn't kill my father he was

his friend you're right mr christy loved

money

but he was no killer and vincent the mob

would never let vincent hits a harry

that's all the excuse the feds would

need to put luciano away forever

what about the boat

the boat that edgar saw the men went up

to the house

the men never went up to the house but

edgar said that they know what it is

but see what i think happened was this

there was a terrible storm that night i

believe harold christie talked your

father into going down to the dock

mike vincent was waiting there for him

he had to convince the harry to change

his mind about the gambling laws

now vincent knew the bosses wanted to be

above suspicion so he couldn't kill your

father but he decided to do the next

best thing

to scare the hell out of him

i think something must have gone wrong

the boat pitched in the rough seas

so harry fell hitting his head on the

metal cabin trance

it was over in an instant

and now there was no turning back

[Music]

are you saying that this was an accident

that's right a freak accident

that's what i think a spontaneous crime

committed on the spur of the moment

how can you prove that

there's only one way to do that

mr christie would have to tell us what

he knows

it'll never happen

you're right

because that would make him an

accomplice

you see he had to go along with vincent

he had to do that and pretend that he

was asleep in that next room while your

father was being murdered

they took the body back to westbourne

you see it had to appear that sir harry

had been murdered in his sleep

so they dressed the corpse in fresh

night clothes which samuel had put out

[Music]

then they found the blunt instrument

which could cover up the head wound that

sahari had suffered in the boat

[Music]

and to hide any possible mistakes they

created the appearance of a voodoo

murder

[Music]

[Music]

the islands were already in a turmoil so

it was a logical cover-up

[Music]

there would be no clues

only a charred corpse

and a perfect alibi

[Music]

you just have to be the perfect patsy

account

[Music]

[Music]

gonna give me a call mikey

what are you doing here

you gave me quite a surprise you're

giving me a few yourself

yeah sure

i uh

you know i was just gonna call you

i've been uh

i've been working with christy good

yeah and uh

we're gonna get that casino built for

you

you didn't follow orders

yeah but

everything worked out

oh yeah yeah sure

patton's in messina and we just won the

war from mr roosevelt

[Laughter]

everything worked

out

an organization needs discipline

oh yeah right

order

yeah absolutely

guy doesn't follow orders

i've got a square account

wait mr lansing

lucky said to tell you we were here a

lot wait a minute mr lansky mr lansky

major nickel says there's american

detectives fabricated evidence london

marine

churchill will never trust me again

we have to go back

deloreani

may be acquitted of murder

he's not acquitted of me

funny

you think that's funny was it so funny

when i was there

did you really know

[Music]

your presence here is in rather poor

taste major

i'm merely a messenger

what it's worth i'm sorry

what does it mean you're invited to

leave the bahamas

what

mince is deporting you the duke can do

that

yes under his wartime powers he can

it says here the jury recommended it

we'll fight it i won't let the dude take

you down with him

[Music]

[Laughter]

[Music]

chance
