- I am absolutely innocent!

He just ran off,

and then already has happened.

Well then.

- Are these questions relevant?

This is a case, Your Honour,

that inspires one's imagination.

At least mine.

This scream, Lady Aston,

how long was it?

two to three seconds, Your Honour.

- Remarkable.

The investigation at the site was done by...

Inspector Wesby.

Is he present?

- Yes.

Inspector, please.

You examined the victim? - Yes, Sir.

What kind of wound was it?

A shot in his back,

that pierced the heart. - Fatal?

Yes.

One could say:
Deadly at the spot?

I suppose so.

Yes, but when you are dead, Inspector

you cannot scream.

Since there was a scream...

who screamed?

Do you mind answering that question, Inspector?

- No. On the contrary, Your Honour.

The question is very interesting.

Thank you, you may sit.

The other witnesses, except for Mr. Moore,

also may sit.

- Do you know this judge, Sir?

Of course. I know many judges of her Majesty's.

Over there is Sir Matthews.

Yes. He tries for years, to beat

me at golf.

Without success.

The apparitor will conduct

a little experiment, if you don't mind.

Take the rag away.

Play the recording.

I knew it.

The Hexer!

Oh! Wonderful, Wesby!

That was quick!

You are mistaken. This is...

- Silence!

Imitating my good old friend Matthews!

How dare you, Mr. Milton!

Then you tell him, Sir Matthews.

- Off the mask!

Are you insane, John?

Stop twiddling with my chin!

Oh, excuse me.

I thought, you are the Hexer.

Idiot!

Are you looking for something, Archie?

Archie, can I have a word with you?

- Sure.

Are you feeling sick?

- No, no.

In your place I wouldn't feel well.

What do you mean?

- The recording was very convincing.

It was the shot.

It was the voice that we heard.

The killer is not the Hexer, Archie.

Why not?

Who needed the shot and

the scream on tape?

The person, Archie,

who needs an alibi.

You!

How much would it take Inspector

Wesby to figure that?

I am afraid, you are in bad situation.

Depends on what answers you will

give to certain questions.

You might run out of time

to come up with answers.

There a two persons,

you should be afraid of, Archie.

Inspector Wesby and the Hexer.

Where will they look for you?

Here!

And you?

I warn you.

Pardon, Mylady, I love those animals.

They need food.

That's work,

I prefer to do.

Aren't you making a mistake, Mr. Bailey?

- What mistake do you refer to?

Take a seat,please.

- Thank you.

How long have been Lord Curtains' Lawyer?

- Since 15 years, Mylady.

Due to the confidence,

the Lord showed to me.

Confidence and friendship.

- Provided he felt that way.

Oh, sorry.

What did I wrong?

Edgar Wallace

Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace (1 April 1875 – 10 February 1932) was an English writer. Born into poverty as an illegitimate London child, Wallace left school at age 12. He joined the army at age 21 and was a war correspondent during the Second Boer War, for Reuters and the Daily Mail. Struggling with debt, he left South Africa, returned to London, and began writing thrillers to raise income, publishing books including The Four Just Men (1905). Drawing on his time as a reporter in the Congo, covering the Belgian atrocities, Wallace serialised short stories in magazines such as The Windsor Magazine and later published collections such as Sanders of the River (1911). He signed with Hodder and Stoughton in 1921 and became an internationally recognised author. After an unsuccessful bid to stand as Liberal MP for Blackpool (as one of David Lloyd George's Independent Liberals) in the 1931 general election, Wallace moved to Hollywood, where he worked as a script writer for RKO studios. He died suddenly from undiagnosed diabetes, during the initial drafting of King Kong (1933). Wallace was such a prolific writer that one of his publishers claimed that a quarter of all books in England were written by him. As well as journalism, Wallace wrote screen plays, poetry, historical non-fiction, 18 stage plays, 957 short stories, and over 170 novels, 12 in 1929 alone. More than 160 films have been made of Wallace's work. He is remembered for the creation of King Kong, as a writer of 'the colonial imagination', for the J. G. Reeder detective stories, and for The Green Archer serial. He sold over 50 million copies of his combined works in various editions, and The Economist describes him as "one of the most prolific thriller writers of [the 20th] century", although few of his books are still in print in the UK. more…
