All right, Fred, reload.
You better not let that thing
get too hot.
She's liable to blow up and kill
the lot of you.
Not this cannon. You point her north
and she'll start fighting
Yankees all over again.
Say, this isn't the cannon
from the Town Hall Memorial, is it?
Yep. Gonna raise that poor girl,
you'll see.
You can't beat firing a cannon to
bring up a drowned body. What?
Law of nature, young feller.
Light'er up.
Boy, I haven't heard that gag
since Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.
That's my body they're looking for.
Those people, the boats, the cannon...
they're dragging the river for my body.
The body of Deborah Chandler.
No...
Deborah Chandler Clark,
They're looking for the body
of Mrs Selden Clark.
Selden, please.
There's nothing you can do here.
She's dead, Selden.
Don't say that, Lucius.
I've got to say it.
And you've got to face it.
I won't believe it.
I can't.
Not until they find her.
Pardon me, Mr Clark.
I'm from the Gazette.
Not now.
I thought you'd like to make a statement.
No. Please. No statement.
And no pictures.
You're making a big mistake, gentlemen.
After all, a bride leaves the house
alone on her honeymoon night...
Young man, have you ever been horsewhipped?
Are you kidding? Sheriff!
Maybe you don't see
how this looks to other people, Mr Clark.
I mean, human nature being what it is...
A bride goes driving
in the middle of the night.
Take it easy, Mr Maury.
All right, son. You better run along now.
Okay.
Anything I can do for you, Mr Clark?
No, thank you.
I'm sorry about that, Mr Clark.
But I'm afraid
there's gonna be a lot more of it.
Papers calling up from all over the South.
Some of the big northern papers too.
I'll do what I can to keep them
from bothering you too much.
Thanks.
You won't be going back
to Clarksville right away, will you?
No.
They'll have to have an inquiry tomorrow.
Maybe the next day.
Just a formality, you know. But you
will have to answer a few questions.
What will you tell them, Selden?
Accident?
Suicide?
What would I tell them?
The truth?
The impossible truth
that even I can hardly believe.
Your secret is safe, Selden.
No one will pry into your grief.
No one will ever dream that your
heart is burdened, not with sorrow
but with murder.
When was it that murder
first entered your mind?
Was it that afternoon I drove
up to the plant?
Was it then?
Deb.
Deborah.
Deborah, weren't you even
going to say hello?
Well, you seemed very busy.
What?
I said that you seemed...
Wait a minute.
Now, what were you saying?
Oh, I just said you seemed very busy.
Well, it's lunch hour.
I'm not busy now.
Well...
hello.
Come on, you can't be
in that much of a hurry.
I haven't seen you here at the mill
for six months.
You haven't seen me at all
in much longer than that.
I know.
I haven't been very attentive but...
it's kind of hard to explain.
Yes, I know.
I've tried explaining it to myself.
Well, dad's waiting.
Now wait a minute, Deb.
You know how I really feel about you.
I thought I did, once.
It's just that...
Well, it's just that I've been busy,
that's all.
Things have been kind of
hectic here at the mill.
I've been working day and night,
spending a lot of time out of town...
It really isn't necessary to explain,
Selden. It's kind of embarrassing.
Hello, Debbie, what are you doing here?
Wasn't I supposed to meet you downtown
for lunch?
I thought I'd drop in for a last look.
After all, I won't be seeing the place
