"I'M GOING TO TAKE MADAME KOWALSKA HOME." "IS THE BABY AWAKE YET?" "NO, SHE'S STILL ASLEEP." "IT'S NOT POSSIBLE..." "BUT I MUST..." "FORGIVE ME..." "THE BABY'S AWAKE NOW." "AW..." "GO TO SLEEP AGAIN, MY DARLING." "SHH." "MOMMY'S HERE." "THAT'S MY GOOD GIRL." "LEON." "DEAREST..." "LEONIDE KIROW IS THE NAME." "AND I'M VERA..." "OH, LEONIDE." "LEONIDE, THERE'S SOMETHING THAT I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU." "HOLD ME CLOSE!" "CLOSER!" "THERE WASN'T A GENERAL FOR MILES AROUND." "THANK YOU." "COME ON, DEAREST." "THERE'S A GOOD GIRL." "GIVE ME YOUR HAND." "STAND STILL, NOW, DARLING." "YES." "WE'LL TIE YOU, PUT YOUR BOW ON PRETTY FOR YOU." "AND YOU'RE GOING TO GO FOR A NICE, LONG WALK." "OOPS-A-DAISY." "THERE YOU ARE, DARLING." "SAY, "GOOD-BYE, MAMA." "GOOD-BYE, DADDY."" "BYE, MAMA, BYE DADDY." "GOOD-BYE, DARLING." "AND NO FLIRTING WITH POLICEMEN." "WILL YOU HAVE SOME MORE COFFEE?" "NO THANKS." "VERA, WHAT'S WRONG?" "WHAT'S TROUBLING YOU?" "NOTHING'S WRONG." "NOTHING." "THERE IS SOMETHING." "YOU'RE SO NERVOUS." "NO, I'M NOT." "REALLY." "IS THIS DEPRESSING YOU SO MUCH?" "OH, LEONIDE." "YOU MUSTN'T EVEN THINK SUCH A THING." "I WAS BEGINNING TO THINK YOU DIDN'T LOVE ME ANYMORE." "OH, MY DARLING." "I LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU'LL EVER KNOW." "SOMEONE'S AT THE DOOR." "I'LL JUST GO AND SEE WHO IT IS." "GOING OUT?" "YES." "STELLA'S NOT WELL." "I JUST GOT WORD SHE WANTS TO SEE ME." "I SHAN'T BE LONG." "VERA." "I MUST TALK TO YOU, MICHAEL." "HOW NICE OF YOU TO COME." "LET'S UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING." "I DIDN'T COME HERE FOR ANY STUPID RENDEZVOUS WITH YOU." "VERA." "CAN'T YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU'VE DONE, WHAT YOU'RE DOING?" "I'VE HAD TO LIE TO MY HUSBAND." "OH, I WOULD HAVE TOLD HIM THE MOMENT HE CAME HOME," "BUT I COULDN'T." "I HADN'T THE COURAGE." "HE CAME HOME FROM THE FRONT A SICK MAN," "HYPER-SENSITIVE." "HE NEEDS ME." "I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO HELP HIM." "WHAT ARE YOU DRIVING AT?" "I TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME ANYMORE, NOT TO WRITE." "BUT YOU HAVE CALLED." "YOU'VE WRITTEN EVERY DAY." "WHY I..." "I WAS SO FRIGHTENED I-I HADN'T EVEN BEEN ABLE TO SPEAK TO LEONIDE." "WE'RE DRIFTING APART." "WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO?" "BLACKMAIL ME WITH THE MEMORY OF THAT NIGHT?" "OH, VERA, HOW CAN YOU?" "DON'T YOU" "LET ME ALONE." "I LOVE MY HUSBAND." "I LOVE MY CHILD." "THEY'RE ALL THAT MATTER TO ME." "TO KEEP THAT LOVE, TO PRESERVE MY HOME," "THERE ISN'T ANYTHING I WOULDN'T DO." "THAT SOUNDS MELODRAMATIC, MICHAEL." "BUT I MEAN EVERY WORD OF IT." "THAT'S ALL I CAME TO SAY." "LEONIDE." "WANT TO DENY IT?" "THANKS." "MR. STAGOFF, YOU DO ANYTHING?" "ACCORDING TO THE STATUES AND LAWS ENACTED BY" "NEVER MIND ALL THAT." "TELL ME QUICKLY." "THE FACT THAT MR. MICHAILOW EVADED EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO TESTIFY ON YOUR BEHALF," "THE FURTHER FACT THAT HE AVOIDED ALL RESPONSIBILITY BY RUNNING AWAY," "CERTAINLY ADDED TO THE APPEARANCE OF YOUR GUILT." "IT SUBSTANTIATED YOUR HUSBAND'S BELIEF AND THAT OF THE JUDGE" "THAT YOU HAD BEEN MORE THAN MERELY INDISCREET." "BUT COULDN'T MY HUSBAND HAVE FORGIVEN ME?" "HIS HONOR." "YES, OF COURSE." "HIS HONOR." "BUT WHAT ABOUT MY BABY?" "THE LAW STATES SPECIFICALLY THAT IF THE" "MARRIAGE IS BROKEN THROUGH THE FAULT OF THE WIFE," "THE CHILD IS AUTOMATICALLY AWARDED TO THE HUSBAND." "THOSE ARE CONSEQUENCES, MADAME, WHICH ONE JUST HAS TO BEAR." "HOW EASY IT IS FOR YOU TO CONDEMN." "MADAME, IT IS SIMPLY MY DUTY TO INFORM YOU" "THAT THE DIVORCE DECREE OF MY CLIENT HAS BEEN GRANTED." "CAPTAIN KIROW EXPECTS THAT YOU WILL VACATE THIS APARTMENT," "HERETO OCCUPIED BY YOU JOINTLY, AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE." "BUT MY BABY." "SHE WAS TAKEN FROM ME." "AFTER THAT, MONTHS IN THE HOSPITAL." "WHEN I CAME OUT, LEONIDE AND MY CHILD HAD DISAPPEARED." "STELLA TOLD ME HE HAD CHANGED HIS NAME FROM KIROW TO KOSLOV," "BUT NO ONE KNEW WHERE HE HAD GONE." "I HAD TO TAKE MY SINGING UP AGAIN." "I DIDN'T WANT TO STARVE." "BUT MY VOICE WAS ALMOST GONE." "I COULD STILL FIND EMPLOYMENT" "BUT ONLY IN LITTLE CHEAP CABARETS." "THE ONE THING THAT KEPT ME GOING FOR 15 YEARS" "WAS THE DREAM THAT I MIGHT SEE MY CHILD AGAIN." "MY FIRST THOUGHT IN EVERY STRANGE CITY WAS," ""PERHAPS LEONIDE LIVES HERE..." "WITH HER."" "I HAD ALMOST GIVEN UP HOPE WHEN I CAME TO THIS CITY." "I WANT TO SPEAK TO MR. KOSLOV." "JUST A MOMENT, PLEASE." "OH, MADAME." "IF MADAME WOULD COME OUTSIDE A MOMENT," "THERE'S A WOMAN OUT THERE." "I'LL COME AT ONCE." "HERE'S SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR A LONG-LEGGED CHILD I USED TO KNOW." "WHAT IS IT, PLEASE?" "I AM MRS. KOSLOV." "WELL, I..." "I REALLY WANTED TO SPEAK TO MR. KOSLOV." "MY HUSBAND DIED 3 YEARS AGO." "AND HIS CHILD?" "MY DAUGHTER?" "YOUR DAUGHTER?" "HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT?" "I" " I USED TO KNOW CAPTAIN KOSLOV IN WARSAW." "HE WAS ALWAYS VERY KIND TO ME." "I ALSO KNEW HIS FIRST WIFE." "MOMMY, MOMMY, COME HERE!" "OH, PLEASE, I" "MOMMY, COME AND LOOK, QUICK." "EXCUSE ME A MOMENT." "MOMMY." "LISA, WHAT IS IT?" "OH, YOU DARLING, YOU ANGEL." "OH, IT'S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GOWN IN THE WHOLE WORLD." "WON'T I LOOK DRESSY?" "A BACKLESS EVENING GOWN." "THAT MAKES IT OFFICIAL." "I AM GROWN UP." "OH, YOU'RE THE SWEETEST MOTHER IN THE WHOLE WORLD," "AND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, AND I LOVE THE GOWN," "AND I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HOME." "WAS IT EXPENSIVE?" "PLEASE LET ME GO NOW, DEAR." "THERE'S A WOMAN OUTSIDE." "I HAVE TO TALK TO HER." "OH, I'M SORRY." "BUT I WAS SO THRILLED." "I MUST TELL YOU SOMETHING IN CONFIDENCE" "BEFORE WE TALK ANY FURTHER ABOUT THIS." "WHY, I'M SURE IT WASN'T YOUR INTENTIONS." "IT WOULD BE THE LAST THING YOU'D WANT TO DO TO UPSET A YOUNG GIRL," "HARDLY MORE THAN A CHILD." "SHE MAY COME IN ANY MOMENT." "SHE HAS NO SUSPICION, NO IDEA, THAT I'M NOT HER REAL MOTHER." "LISA WAS NEVER TOLD THAT HER OWN MOTHER DIED IN WARSAW DURING THE WAR." "SHE WAS A CHILD, OF COURSE-REMEMBERS NOTHING OF THAT TIME." "IT-IT WAS LEONIDE'S WISH THAT LISA SHOULD NEVER LEARN THE TRUTH." "I STRONGLY OPPOSED THIS AT FIRST," "BUT THEN I REALIZED THAT SHE WAS TOO YOUNG TO GRASP THE TRUTH AT THE TIME." "AND THEN, WHEN I SAW HER GROWING UP, SAW HOW FOND SHE WAS OF ME," "I" " I COULDN'T BRING MYSELF TO CONFUSE, TO STARTLE HER, TO TELL HER THAT..." "OH, PLEASE BELIEVE ME." "I'VE DEVOTED MY LIFE TO HER." "WHY, I'VE COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN THAT SHE WAS NOT MY OWN." "PLEASE FORGIVE ME." "WON'T YOU SIT DOWN?" "IN MY EXCITEMENT, I" "NO THANK YOU." "MAY I ASK WHAT BROUGHT YOU HERE?" "CAN I BE OF ANY HELP TO YOU?" "YOU'RE VERY KIND." "NO, IT WAS-IT WAS NOTHING IMPORTANT." "I WANTED..." "WELL, YOU SEE, I FOUND THE NAME OF KOSLOV IN THE DIRECTORY," "QUITE BY ACCIDENT." "AND I JUST THOUGHT I'D LIKE TO SEE HIM AGAIN." "CURIOSITY." "JUST TO TALK OVER OLD TIMES." "MAYN'T I PERHAPS- NO, NO." "LISA WILL COME." "I'M SORRY." "BUT-BUT YOU MUST REALIZE THAT I WAS SO TERRIFIED I COULDN'T..." "DON'T APOLOGIZE." "YOU'RE QUITE RIGHT." "GOOD-BYE." "I HAD SEEN MY DAUGHTER AGAIN." "IT WAS HARD TO REALIZE THAT I MUST NEVER SEE HER AGAIN." "THAT I COULD NEVER SAY TO HER," ""LISA, I AM YOUR MOTHER."" "I COULD GIVE HER NOTHING." "MY LIFE WOULD DISGUST HER." "MY LOVE WOULD ONLY FRIGHTEN HER." "SO I SAID, "ALL RIGHT." "BE HAPPY BECAUSE AT LAST YOU'VE SEEN HER HAPPY."" "AND THEN THAT SAME NIGHT..." "WE FEEL SO BEAUTIFUL" "AND WE REALLY BELIEVE IT" "SO WE'RE NEVER-*" "WHAT HAPPENED TO HER?" "WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH HER?" "WHY, SHE FAINTED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF HER ACT." "THERE." "SHE'S COMING TO NOW." "WELL, WELL, WHAT'S THE MATTER HERE?" "WHAT'S THE MATTER?" "WELL, SHE'S..." "COME ON, COME ON." "GET REAL-YOU'RE HOLDING THE CURTAIN." "GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN." "BEFORE BEGINNING MY ENTERTAINMENT, I SHOULD LIKE TO ANNOUNCE" "THAT THIS IS ALL STRICTLY ON THE LEVEL." "NO TRICKERY, NO SLEIGHT OF HAND, NO FRAUD OR DECEIT." "I SHOOT GENUINE BULLETS AT GENUINE LIVING TARGETS." "UNLESS MY AIM IS PERFECT, MY HAND STEADY," "EVERY SHOT WOULD BE FATAL." "THANK YOU." "MICHAEL MICHAILOW." "AND THEN I SHOT HIM." "IN THAT SUITCASE YOU'LL FIND MY PAPERS." "THEY'LL PROVE THAT I TOLD YOU THE TRUTH." "IF YOU'D EXAMINE THEM IN AN OPEN COURT," "LISA, THE WHOLE WORLD WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT I WAS HER MOTHER." "SHE MUST NEVER KNOW." "THAT WAS MY REASON" "MY ONLY REASON FOR REFUSING TO TESTIFY IN PUBLIC." "AND NOW I BEG YOU:" "HELP ME TO KEEP THIS STORY FROM MY DAUGHTER." "MADAM KOWALSKA." "WHAT YOU HAVE JUST TOLD US PERMITS US" "TO LOOK AT THE CRIME YOU HAVE COMMITTED IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT." "MR. ATTORNEY FOR THE PROSECUTION." "I ASK THAT THE PUBLIC BE AGAIN ADMITTED TO THE COURTROOM." "THE TESTIMONY OF THE ACCUSED HAS NOT" "CONSTITUTED ANY OFFENSE AGAINST PUBLIC DECENCY," "SO THERE'S NO REAL REASON FOR KEEPING ANY OF THE FACTS FROM THIS CASE" "FROM THE PUBLIC IN OPEN COURT." "OPEN COURT." "OH, NO." "YOU MUSTN'T." "THE ACCUSED HAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THE MAGNANIMITY" "OF THIS COURT ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION." "SHE HAS CONTINUALLY MEDDLED WITH THE CONDUCT OF THIS TRIAL." "I MUST WARN YOU MOST SERIOUSLY NOT" "DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND YET WHAT I WANT?" "YOU ARE THE ONE WHO DOESN'T UNDERSTAND." "YOU ARE THE ONE WHO KILLED A HUMAN BEING." "YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS ON TRIAL." "WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF TESTING THE TRUTH OF YOUR STATEMENTS." "AFTER THAT, THE CASE GOES TO THE JURY FOR CONSIDERATION." "THE COURT MUST RULE OBJECTIVELY." "WHATEVER IS VITAL TO RENDERING A JUST AND PROPER VERDICT MUST BE MADE PUBLIC." "IT CANNOT BE CONCEALED." "QUITE SO." "THEREFORE, I RESPECTFULLY MOVE THE PUBLIC BE READMITTED." "NO, NO!" "WILL YOU PLEASE BE QUIET?" "I CAN'T BE QUIET." "PLEASE, MY DEAR." "I DIDN'T CONFESS JUST TO WIN SYMPATHY FOR MYSELF" "IT WAS ONLY FOR LISA." "SHE MUSTN'T KNOW I'M HER MOTHER." "SHE MUSTN'T KNOW!" "THAT'S ENOUGH." "WHAT DO YOU WANT?" "GO AHEAD, SENTENCE ME." "I DON'T CARE IF I LIVE OR NOT." "MY LIFE ISN'T WORTH LIVING." "I'VE SAVED MY DAUGHTER." "HOW COULD I STAND BY NOW AND WATCH YOU WRECK HER HAPPINESS," "DELIBERATELY DRAG HER MOTHER'S LIFE BEFORE THE PUBLIC?" "YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT BEFORE YOU COMMITTED MURDER." "MR. ATTORNEY FOR THE PROSECUTION," "SAVE THAT FOR THE JURY." "NOW, I WANT YOU TO BE SENSIBLE." "AND I WARN YOU FOR THE LAST TIME NOT TO INTERRUPT THESE PROCEEDINGS AGAIN." "IF YOU DO NOT CONTROL YOURSELF, I SHALL HAVE YOU REMOVED." "THE PUBLIC MAY ONCE MORE BE ADMITTED." "BAILIFF, PLEASE." "WHAT WILL THEY DO?" "WILL THEY TELL HER?" "I'M AFRAID THEY MUST." "BUT YOU" " I REALLY CAN'T UNDERSTAND YOU." "WHY ON EARTH DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ALL THIS LONG AGO?" "WE WILL NOW CONTINUE WITH THE PROCEEDINGS." "SO I WILL ASK THE ATTORNEY FOR THE PROSECUTION TO RESUME HIS FINAL SPEECH." "MAY IT PLEASE THE HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE, GENTLEMEN OF THE JURY," "WHEN I FIRST ADDRESSED YOU, I PROVED THE ACCUSED WAS GUILTY OF PREMEDITATED MURDER." "NO NEW ASPECTS OF HER ADMITTED GUILT HAVE COME TO LIGHT IN HER STATEMENT." "NEVERTHELESS, THE GROUNDS FOR DECIDING THE TERMS OF HER PUNISHMENT" "HAVE BEEN SUBSTANTIALLY ALTERED BECAUSE OF THE EXPLANATION SHE GAVE US OF HER MOTIVES." "SO I WISH TO WITHDRAW MY FORMER DEMAND" "AND ASK THAT BECAUSE OF MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES" "THE COURT SENTENCE THE ACCUSED TO 5 YEARS IMPRISONMENT FOR SECOND-DEGREE MURDER." "DEFENSE MAY MAKE ITS FINAL PLEA." "MR. PRESIDENT, GENTLEMEN OF THE JURY, THAT PART OF THE PROCEEDINGS" "WHICH TOOK PLACE BEHIND CLOSED DOORS" "DEMONSTRATED WITHOUT THE SHADOW OF A DOUBT" "THAT THE DEAD MAN, MICHAEL MICHAILOW, DESTROYED NOT ONLY THE MARRIAGE" "BUT THE HOME LIFE AND HAPPINESS OF MY CLIENT." "SINCE THE ACCUSED ACTED UNDER THE STRESS" "OF THE MOST EASILY COMPREHENDED OF HUMAN EMOTIONS," "THE PREMISES FOR HER CONVICTION OF MURDER DO NOT EXIST." "AND IF YOU WILL CONSID" "I THEREFORE DEMAND THAT THE ACCUSED BE ACQUITTED." "ACCUSED, THE LAW GIVES YOU THE LAST WORD." "HAVE YOU ANYTHING THAT YOU WISH TO SAY?" "NOTHING." "THEN I HEREBY CLOSE THIS PART OF THE PROCEEDINGS." "THE JURY WILL RETIRE TO CONSIDER ITS VERDICT." "WHAT HAPPENS NOW?" "SAY SOMETHING, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE." "WELL, MY DEAR LADY, YOU SEE," "YOU HAD VERY GOOD LUCK WITH THE ATTORNEY FOR THE PROSECUTION." "AS FOR ME, WELL, YOU FORCED ME TO KEEP SILENT." "BUT THE JUDGE IS" "WE BOTH KNOW." "WILL THEY TELL?" "THEY MUST." "WHEN THE COURT PRONOUNCES JUDGEMENT," "IT MUST MAKE CLEAR THE GROUNDS ON WHICH ITS SENTENCE RESTS." "IT CAN'T OMIT THE FACT THAT YOUR CRIME" "WAS COMMITTED TO PROTECT YOUR DAUGHTER." ""THE ACCUSED, MADAM KOWALSKA, IS GUILTY OF MURDER IN THE SECOND DEGREE." ""HOWEVER, DUE TO MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES," ""SHE IS HEREBY SENTENCED UNDER THE PROVISIONS" ""OF PARAGRAPH 148 OF THE CRIMINAL CODE TO PRISON FOR A TERM OF 3 YEARS." ""THE TIME DURING WHICH THE ACCUSED HAS BEEN UNDER ARREST" "IS TO BE SUBTRACTED FROM HER SENTENCE."" "NOW HE'S GOT TO TELL WHY THEY'VE BEEN SO LENIENT." "ACCORDING TO THE EVIDENCE AND THE CREDIBLE TESTIMONY OF THE ACCUSED," "SHE IS GUILTY AS CHARGED IN THE INDICTMENT." "THE ACCUSED DELIBERATELY KILLED A HUMAN BEING," "NAMELY THE PIANIST, MICHAEL MICHAILOW," "BY FIRING TWO BULLETS INTO HIS BODY WITH A REVOLVER." "PUNISHMENT IS THEREFORE INEVITABLE." "THE COURT, HOWEVER, HAS NOT ONLY CONCEDED TO THE ACCUSED" "THE EXISTENCE OF MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES" "BECAUSE SHE PROVED THAT MICHAEL MICHAILOW BEHAVED TOWARD HER" "IN A THOROUGHLY REPREHENSIBLE MANNER," "BUT THE COURT HAS EVEN AGREED UNANIMOUSLY" "THAT IT WILL ENDORSE A PLEA FOR PARDON" "WHEN THE ACCUSED SHALL ENTER THAT PLEA," "BECAUSE DURING THAT PART OF THE TRIAL WHICH TOOK PLACE BEHIND CLOSED DOORS," "IT BECAME CLEAR TO ALL OF US THAT THE ACTUATING MOTIVE OF THE CRIME" "WAS THE DESIRE, THE DETERMINATION I MIGHT SAY," "OF THE ACCUSED TO SAVE A YOUNG GIRL" "FROM THE SEDUCTIONS OF A MAN WHO CAN ONLY BE REGARDED AS MORALLY DEGRADED." "THIS CASE IS CLOSED." "AND JUST REMEMBER THIS:" "YOU CAN ALWAYS RELY ON ME." "I'LL ATTEND TO EVERYTHING." "PLEASE, EXCUSE ME A MOMENT, MOMMY." "VERA KOWALSKA." "I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT" "I JUST HAD TO TELL YOU THAT I WANT TO WISH YOU THE BEST OF EVERYTHING." "THANK YOU, MISS LISA."
