This is how it all ended, Tragically.

And to think it was all planned out, down to the smallest detail.

I'm telling you we're not going to get very far

We'll flip over and hurt ourselves

I met Helen Brown over the holidays.

I immediately fell in Iove with her. And we got married.

I love you

The minute we got back to London Helen's attitude changed quickly

Yes that's a nice doggie,

Don't you get tired of listening to this stupid song?

I find it funny.

Could you come here honey I want you to massage me,

I want to know the reason Liz is always at the house,

And what if it makes me happy?

Did I ever say anything about your secretary?

It's no use playing innocent, You must see that things even out,

You want a divorce Helen?

You could have found something else,

Neither you or my father have anything to say that interests me,

He's president of our company

Yes,

And I have ninety percent of the holdings,

I'm practically his boss,

I thought you knew?

It's my mother's will that arranged it this way,

Your father must be a little vexed,

She wanted to be sure of my future,

I also assured yours, I made a will in your favor,

So you can rest easy.

To our future.

Where are you going?

Liverpool, After that, I don't know.

Scotland maybe,

And you'll come back soon?

I have to rest,

I'll write you,

You could come join me,

No, you know I have to stay. My career demands it.

You really want to go?

Yes

You know it's a matter of health,

And you think you'll be cured?

Yes,I believe it John,

I was just discussing it with Liz and she says I have to go.

She's not going forever.

It's true he's an odd man,

I admire you for putting up with him.

Anyway, it's finished.

Poor John.

What can you do.

Destroying two years of happiness after telling me she loved me not so long ago.

Try and forget,

She's just like her mother, rich, snobbish, selfish, and the rest.

Maybe it's my fault?

No,

She's the type that won't change,

The spitting image of her mother.

I still care about her.

Helen are you coming?

Yes I'm ready.

Are all the suitcases already in the car?

Yes they are.

If you want I can reserve a room for you?

That's OK, Liz already did that.

What? You're going to drive yourself?

Yes why?

I think John would have preferred you not leave like this.

He knows I'm a prudent driver.

Let's go.

John could you help?

Of course,

Goodbye

She probably lost control of the vehicle because she was speeding,

The gas ignited and the following explosion would have left her no chance of surviving,

You put that in the record,

Here are the husband and father of the victim,

The body is burned beyond recognition but the car belonged to Helen Alexander,

Can you identify it?

Inspector a passport,

Pull the curtain please,

Thank you,

We'll be landing in London momentarily. please fasten your seat-belts,

John you should maybe take a trip,

It will help you to forget,

Yes you might be right,

I think I'll make plans,

Yes I already told him,

Hi

Gordon,

Do you remember this man?

Yes that's John Alexander,

It's been three weeks since his wife's death and he's in St-Tropez

She died in a car accident,

Yes I know

But something tells me there's more than meets the eye,

I'm happy to see you back here Mr Alexander,

Thank you,

Excuse me but Mr, Brown is waiting for you in his office,

Hello John, glad you're back,

I started to believe you wouldn't come back,

How could you think I'd ever leave the company.

We think we know people and after we're surprised,

The important thing is you're here,

There's stuff waiting for you,

I haven't stopped thinking of Helen,

I can't come to terms with the fact that,,,

I'll never see her again.

I know.

I keep thinking she'll reappear soon,

I'll try and forget, It's back to work,

You're right,

We have to take a decision on the merger with the French company.,

I thought that was already decided?

You're the major partner of this company.

It's for you to say what you want,

All the time you were gone I missed you,

Is that enough reason for you not to take care of the mail,

Why are you so rude with me?

You bother me,

Is it because I'm just your secretary?

Take it the way you like,

You should try and distract yourself,

Or course,

By the way a police inspector came by several times,

He wanted to see you, He's here now.

He wanted to know where you were, He was waiting for your return.

What does he want?

I don't know,

Don't make him wait,

Inspector Gordon of Scotland Yard,

Yes, my secretary told me,

Inspector Stevens of Liverpool,

Sit down,

No it's OK,

Just letting you know that Liverpool police are examining the case,

Oh, I didn't know there was an investigation?

There's always an investigation following accidents,

It's the law,

Did you have a pleasant trip?

I visited all the countries my wife and I traveled together,

Is that really the best way to forget her?

Here take care of these letters,

Well gentlemen,

what else can I do for you I have much to do around here,

I understand,

Especially. since the company is now mostly under your control,

I expected you would return today,

Because I was followed?

No not quite,

More of a professional intuition,

Know why I thought this?

Simply because today is your wedding anniversary,

Mr Alexander,

Are you going to stay at your current residence?

For now I'm staying at the hotel Savoy.

Very good, Thank you sir.

Get out of there and get dressed,

You're sure of yourself aren't you? You must be the owner of this castle.

I'm right, yes?

Get out of here now!

Hey take it easy.

Maybe you can tell me why you want me to leave so quickly?

Oh I get it,

Because of your wife, Maybe I remind you of her?

Or you're just a brute with a hot temper,

The lights are back on,

Too bad, it was so intimate,

Tell me what you're doing here,

Elementary, my dear Watson, elementary.

My name is Christine, I'm single, eighteen and have no inhibitions,

When I saw your abandoned castle I decided it would be nice to take a hot shower,

I came in through the window, found the shower, got naked and you found me,

Now you know everything,

Shit, I looked all over for the whiskey and now you have some without giving me any,

Don't be greedy, come on a glass?

Come on hurry up,

Oh you big bully,

You seem to be well off, I like that

Why don't you want me to sleep with you tonight,

It would be nice and you'd be happy,

Tomorrow I'd leave,

And I'm really scared of thunderstorms,

Sleep here? You're crazy!

Look you could have been more careful,

Now I've hurt myself, That was really mean,

What Am I going to do now?

Where do you live? I'll take you back,

I've got your keys,

See?

Where did you shoot that special film?

Hey interesting manners,

I think it was last Friday,

Why are you so troubled,

I want to talk to Peter,

Don't go looking for trouble,

I want that movie,

That's going to cost you a lot,

Let's go get that movie,

No, no, better to stay here, I'll go,

Where's the projectionist?

If you're interested in his type look for him at the art studio by the port,

He might be there,

One day that Christine's going to get me into trouble,

She can't keep any kind of secret,

And you, can't you keep your mouth shut idiot?

Who are you?

What do you want?

What are you Iooking for?

I suggest you answer.

Take off the coat,

I prefer to see you like this, angry but at least alive,

You slept more than ten hours,

Where did you find me?

Where did you find me?

Why? what were you imagining?

I found you going to Peter's. I arrived just in time too,

Places like that you need to take care,

They don't exactly have the best manners,

I had to convince them that you weren't a cop,

just a pervert looking for dirty movies,

I want that movie,

Peter promised he'd send it to my place,

So now you have an address,

Yes, I got a room in a hotel near the port,

If it interests you we can see everything that goes on in the studio from my window,

Do you know who that woman was?

Stop questioning me like this,

Tell me

All I know is we call her the countess,

Where does she come from?

I told Peter to give you the movie,

He wants nothing to do with that woman, Everything about her seems dangerous,

I don't know why, but before making love I always feel like drinking a little whiskey,

I'm Ieaving...

...it's the best way.

I've talked with Liz, she agrees with me.

Liz told me... Liz... Liz...

Helen, Helen.

Is this where a blonde girl named Christine lives?

She's on the second floor, number five.

Wait a second, another client just went up to see her,

It'll just make it more interesting,

Hurry up and come back I've still got to talk to you.

Go to hell,

Christine was just telling me that you were interested in this movie,

You've made an excellent choice,

This is an art piece so I'm selling it a little expensive,

What can you do it's normal for this kind of quality.,

If you would count it,

We're amongst friends,

I want to know who the woman is with Christine.

I must tell you it's a delicate business I'm involved with

and I'm not one to divulge the names of my actresses,

But if it pleases you...

I can tell you that it's a friend...

that brought her along and this friend...

What's the name? Tell me,

You're very nervous,

That doesn't concern you, Just answer me,

Very well, I'm at your disposal,

I'll try and give you more information,

Goodbye,

I got a little worried for a moment,

Why?

We were amongst friends,

You're going to talk or you'll find it gets worse than just a slap,

I told you everything I know,

You know that I would tell you if I knew something,

I don't know anything, Nothing at all I swear!

Yes I believe you, dirty slut.

Why did you come spy on me the other night? For who did you drug me?

What's the name of the woman in this film?

It's forbidden to say her name,

I can't explain it,

It's dangerous, useless to insist,

I want you to tell me her real name right now!

Countess...

I want to know who she is, understand!

Peter didn't talk about her much but treated her like royalty.

You have to understand she was different than the rest of us,

She wasn't a prostitute,

That's why we called her the countess,

And this is all you know?

All I can tell you is that during the filming of one of our scenes the countess,

in the midst of a passionate moment, grabbed me and whispered in my ear...

...call me Helen,

She wouldn't stop caressing my neck,

There. I can't tell you anything else,

So she confided in you,

No,

It was just a few days later that Peter finally.told me...

...she was the wife of a very important business man,

And that she had just recently been in a car accident and became unstable,

He told me not to talk to talk about it and made me get out of his office,

How long ago was this film shot?

Six days, I remember.

Tell me why does this woman interest you so much?

Let's just say I'm curious from a business standpoint,

If any of this is false you'll regret it.

This is Mr Alexander, May I speak to Mr Brown please.

It's urgent.

Yes,

That's fine I'll call back later.

John do you know what you're saying?

It's Helen! I'm sure of it!

It's Helen! I'm sure of it!

I know I thought it was impossible too when I saw it.

I thought I was dreaming,

And I kept telling myself it must be an illusion,

Helen's dead I know,

But that film, you have to see the film,

You said yourself that the woman remained covered,

It's true but you should have seen her necklace, her ring, her scar,

It's Helen I know,

But if she stayed covered that doesn't prove anything!

She would have given some sign she's alive,

But who's to say she hasn't tried to contact us?

Without success,

Well there must have been a reason for that,

The shock might have made her lose her mind, She could be the victim of a con artist,

OK, that's possible but it's hard to imagine,

If she was alive she would have contacted us,

Listen I believe it's better if you come over, You have to see this film,

You'll be stunned,

OK, once it's possible,

There must be an explanation,

John believes for certain that Helen's alive,

He's still in shock, as long as he doesn't do something rash...

I don't think so Mr Brown,

We should let you know that we've received some anonymous letters,

These letters said that your daughter Helen had been assassinated,

That's ridiculous, absurd!

We don't know anything about it,

But tell me honestly. do you think John Alexander could be your daughter's killer?

You're accusing him?

He had no motive to do it,

I thought he was the sole inheritor?

Yes, but he did not know,

Because my daughter never told anyone,

The police declared it an accident,

Could you take off that piece of metal?

Gordon look,

The explosion could have been caused by one of those devices that self combust,

That might explain why we couldn't find any trace of it,

We might have concluded too quickly in Liverpool,

This could put us on the right track,

We should send it to the lab,

Yes, for sure,

Now watch closely. The ring.

The jewelry seems fine but I don't see the ring in question,

There, look carefully,

Let me see that last part again,

This is the film you wanted me to see?

I don't understand this,

I'm leaving

I don't understand, I'm sure I didn't dream this,

I'm sure it wasn't a dream,

But the workings of an overactive imagination,

But I saw the scar and the ring,

You say you saw it but I doubt that,

You're mistaking your desires for reality.

But to get to the point of accusing Helen

of partaking in such a filthy film, you're going overboard,

So you don't believe what I say?

Fine, we'll see.

I know I'm not crazy or sick,

And that the film we saw tonight is not the same one I had before,

It's some kind of cover up I'm sure,

And I'll find out why,

I don't care how she could have done something like that,

I'm going to discover why someone would be interested in pulling this kind of trick on me,

I'll go to the police and ask them personally to open the investigation,

John do what you want,

But be sure you know what you're doing,

This will result in a scandal,

We won't be able to conduct business anywhere in London,

Your respectability will be in doubt, You'll be finished,

You'll ruin us. Be reasonable and stop this over dramatization,

I'm sorry. John, I understand how you feel,

As for the police I don't know,

Let me think about it,

Am I disturbing you?

Am I mistaken or was that Mr Brown that just left,

I've never known a Scotland Yard detective to be wrong,

That's a legend my friend, a legend,

We've been known to arrest innocent people on occasion, like the Evans affair,

Criminals seem to know more about our techniques

so that makes it even more difficult for us,

Would you like some whiskey?

Actually, I'd prefer a cold beer,

Are you really that thirsty or do just want me to leave the room?

You're cautious as a policeman,

Certainly. I don't want you to disturb yourself too much,

This is a large place,

And I see you're an amateur cineaste,

Mickey Mouse is my passion,

That's curious,

Why would you destroy the film print?

Listen inspector you don't think we could stop this idiotic game,

Yes, fine Mr Alexander. But I should tell you...

you're under no obligation to answer my questions,

I'm here as an officer but more as a friend,

I'll see if you conduct yourself like one,

I assure you it's my intention,

I imagine you loved your wife,

Yes

All these clocks and watches are magnificent,

What a splendid collection,

Do they all work?

Yes,

I maintain them myself,

My compliments.

But you'll have to excuse me I'm in a hurry.

Do you like chess?

I hate problems,

That's odd I would have suspected the opposite,

See? The era of Sherlock Holmes is over,

The garage and your house are separated by this garden?

Yes,

It's well constructed,

Must be quiet like this, not being disturbed by car engines,

Did you also put the Jaguar in the garage?

Naturally.,

Of course,

Concerning the Jaguar, detective, I must tell you

the dashboard clock is the only one I could never fix,

It was always one hour ahead,

That's surprising,

I want the Alexander file,

Here's the file sir,

Thanks that'll be all,

I arrived at the accident site at six o'clock.

The crash occurred one hour before.

The crash occurred one hour before.

The crash occurred one hour before.

Where are you going? She's gone out,

Her friend Peter came by and they both went out,

Will she be back soon?

I don't know,

I could care less as long she pays,

Surprised?

Yes, considering we're not exactly close friends,

Do I offer you a drink?

Has Helen called you this week?

What are you talking about?

Has she called you recently?

Recently, just before the accident,

After,

So that's it,

you know everything, that's why you came here,

No, but I'm counting on you to tell me everything,

Well I'm tired of having nightmares every night,

I'll just tell you the whole truth right now,

Helen hid the truth from you about her leaving alone,

She called not long after reaching Crosswell

She was upset,

She finally told me her friend Judy was leaving soon,

Nothing else?

The other night I received a strange phone call,

It was a woman pretending to be Helen,

But the voice had a strange tone,

She then told me her life had been saved by a miracle at the last minute,

Just before the tank exploded,

While her friend Judy got stuck in the wreckage she managed to escape without injury.

Like a mad woman she began to run,

And everything burned along with Judith's body.

I tried to persuade her and come back to talk to you,

But she did not want to and her voice was scaring me,

She told me she didn't want to see anybody,

For a moment I thought she hung up,

But all of a sudden I heard her cry, with this different, inhuman, and terrible voice,

Have you talked to her father about this?

No,

I believe he'd say I imagined the whole thing,

You want that drink now?

It's you?

Of course,

And you, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?

Why? is it that late?

Two twenty. AM,

Already?

In the meantime you haven't answered my question,

It's true I waited for you all day and I'd hoped you would come back to see me here,

Also because I had my key,

You sound tired honey,

On the contrary. I'm glad you're here,

I just wanted to see you, Guess I fell asleep while waiting,

Alice I wanted to ask you a question,

What did that inspector who came by say to Mr Brown last night?

What do you think he wanted?

I wasn't paying attention,

You must have heard something through the door,

I don't eavesdrop,

Wasn't just a while ago it was the opposite,

I'm telling you Alice,

I'm tired of all the stories, the mysteries and the denials,

You must tell me everything,

I love you John,

And if I didn't tell you anything it's because of that,

Recently you've changed, you're different, odd.

Yes it's true the detective and Mr Brown talked about you,

I heard one of them say that you were Helen's killer and the other defended you,

What's making you a suspect is this strange behavior you're exhibiting,

And?

He thinks you might be her killer because you're sick,

And that's all?

What do you want, more?

John tell me the truth, Tell me everything they said is false,

And you didn't kill your wife,

If you want a cigarette take one from my jacket pocket,

By the way John, I didn't mention that

I received a phone call about the countess who's...

But you don't know about the countess?

No, I don't know who it is but it was a

message saying the countess had returned home,

message saying the countess had returned home,

Who?

John Alexander, He's at the bar right now,

Tell him it's a message from Liz and Helen is waiting for him at the St-Anne Cathedral,

OK, St-Anne,

If I find him I tell him that Helen is waiting for him at the cathedral,

It's impossible,

Why did you run away form me that night,

I don't know, I don't know...

I'll tell you why,

Because this whole thing is a trick,

You can't be Helen she killed herself in the accident,

And if somebody knows it it's me!

But how could you have survived?

It was a miracle,

I almost burned to death,

Even my voice was mutilated,

Oh darling, my poor darling,

I especially don't want your pity,

Kill me.

I want you to kill me, I'm suffering too much,

You must kill me,

It's what you wanted, Now do it,

I knew it was you, I always knew,

You were just a slut that wanted to ruin my life,

Mr, Alexander!

Don't move, stop choking that girl,

He was about to kill another victim, we arrived just in time,

Well what are you waiting for? Arrest the murderer,

I'm no killer,

I'm telling you I didn't do anything,

I loved Helen and I love her still,

What?

This is ridiculous, it's absurd,

You can't do this,

You have no proof,

I recorded your phone conversations with Liz,

It's better than proof,

It's a full confession of the murder of your daughter,

And the whole plan of making Mr Alexander the suspect in her murder,

You don't think you're exaggerating?

I have all the proof I need,

Idiot! I told you it wouldn't work And the way you treat me,

If there hadn't been an investigator I would have been the victim,

All this because you wanted your daughter's inheritance, and a position in society.

You kept your hands clean and it is I who would have paid the price,

Dirty whore.

To think I confided in you,

No! No! Let me go,

I always suspected Brown.

But after arresting Peter and Christine

who confessed to tampering with the film it became certain.

Another important clue. The clock on the car dashboard.

The clock read six o'clock.

In Brown's deposition he states that the accident occurred at five o'clock.

Only the murderer would have been so sure.

And It was evident somebody wanted to make you think you were crazy.

It just depended on what reason to apprehend the culprit.

Mr, Brown just provided you a great service,

Because otherwise it's you who would have killed Helen,
