"(Seagulls cry)" "(Waves crash against rocks)" "(Gentle birdsong)" "This service we are holding today is in memory of our dear friends John and Mary Ashby and their son Antony." "John and Mary Ashby were known and loved by you all." "We members of this little community remember them for the many kindnesses they showed to each and every one of us." "And although it is 11 years since their... since we lost them in such tragic circumstances, we still remember them with respect and affection." "How much more poignant must be the memories of the Ashby family, of Harriet Ashby, John's sister, who gallantly assumed the responsibility of bringing up the children, of the children themselves, little Eleanor..." "What can ever replace the gap left in her life by the death of her dear mother and father?" "And Simon Ashby who still plays the organ in this church occasionally, as he has done since he was 15 years old." "How full of sorrow must his heart be!" "For not only did he suffer the shock of losing both his parents, but, and in circumstances no less tragic, the loss of his only brother." "And today we must also remember Antony Ashby who, blinded by grief at the death of his parents, took his own life." "He was young, little more than a child." "You've all seen him sitting here, a member of this choir." "What he did was sinful in the eyes of God." "But God is merciful and in His mercy, he will have taken this little boy into His kingdom, there to join the mother and father... that he loved and missed so much." "We will now sing Hymn number 256." "256, omitting verses three and four." "(Organ music plays)" "Under the circumstances, Miss Ashby, don't you think it would be better..." " Yes, yes, of course." " Do you feel better?" " What is it?" " Nothing." " Did you hear something that upset you?" " No, I'm all right." "Sorry." "We'll go into the fresh air." " You saw what happened?" " Vividly, Auntie." " Well, why don't you go and help her?" " Why should I?" "What do we pay that expensive nurse for?" "Do you want a lift, Auntie?" "You saw something, didn't you?" "You saw something at the church." "It frightened you." "No." "No, it didn't frighten me." "What did you see?" " Tony." " Tony?" "Tony, your brother?" "He's come to fetch me." "But Eleanor, he's dead." "Tell me about him." "They were happy times when Tony was alive." "At least, they were for me, anyway." "Tony made them that way." "And then..." "Then suddenly, the happy times were finished." "He wasn't there any more." "He committed suicide." "That's what they said." "But he did." "He drowned himself." "He left a note." "Yes, he did." "Then how could you have seen him today?" "Unless I'd imagined it?" "People who were as close as Tony and I were in life, they can't just be separated by death." "It can't be." "It is, Eleanor." "The living have to face it." "Not if they have faith in the dead." "And I have faith." "I have faith in Tony." "It's been such a long time." "Nearly eight years." "But I knew he'd come for me." "I knew it." "Look, Eleanor, how could Tony come for you?" " I don't know." " Think about it." "Your brother has been dead now for eight years." "He drowned himself." "He jumped over the cliff." "He must have been smashed on the rocks." "Oh, please..." "Please stop it." "(She sobs)" "All right, all right." "But you cannot possibly have seen Tony." "He's dead." "(Door closes)" "(Piano music)" "Where have you been?" "I've been drinking." "Now I'm going to drink some more." "I would have thought that on the day of the service..." "What would you have thought, Auntie?" "That I would have had on my sackcloth and ashes?" "They've been dead 11 years." "It's your idea to resurrect them once a year and parade them in front of the villagers." "Respect for the dead would be expecting too much from you." "This is Simon you're speaking to." "Your only concern is to keep alive the good name of the Ashby family." "If you behaved like a normal human being, I wouldn't have to." "How did it look, letting little Eleanor behave like that in public?" " Gave the villagers a marvellous titbit." " Your sister is sick." "Sick?" "Well, she's..." "She's very upset." "Disturbed." "Auntie dear...my sister's insane." "If you're so concerned about the good name of the Ashby family, it would be best to have her certified as a lunatic and locked up." "You'd really like that, wouldn't you, Simon?" "Look who's here, Auntie." "It's little Miss Florence Nightingale." " What is it?" " Miss Eleanor asked to be excused dinner." " Make her come down." " Tell kitchen to send a tray to her room." "Nurse?" " How is my little sister?" " She's upset." "You're a master of the understatement." "Why don't you admit she's out of her mind?" "I'm a nurse." "Only a doctor could say that." "No, Tony, wait for me." "Please!" "(Harriet) Coming into some money doesn't mean you can behave as you like." "There are certain standards, even for the rich." "As an Ashby, you will be expected to comply and not make your own rules." "(Simon) Yes, Auntie." "Tony..." "Tony!" "You don't even try." "You go around upsetting the neighbours, antagonising local people, drinking too much." "It's only because your name's Ashby that you haven't landed up in prison." " The magistrates..." " Just a minute." "What is it?" "What on earth is she doing?" "Françoise!" " Yes?" " Eleanor is out in the garden." " I've just seen her." " But I just left her five minutes ago." "Tony..." "Where are you?" "Tony..." " Eleanor!" " Eleanor, where are you?" "Tony?" "No, don't go!" " What are you doing, child?" " He's gone." "You frightened him away." "You frightened him away!" " Who's gone?" " I was going to go with him." "You frightened him away!" "Go away and leave me alone." "Please leave me alone!" " Take her to her room and lock the door." " Come on." "Come with me." "(Eleanor) He was there." "I saw him!" "He was going to take me with him." "Here, take this." " What is it?" " Just sleeping pills." "Are you all right now?" "Good night." "(She sobs)" " Little Eleanor safely tucked up?" " I gave her a sedative." " You're getting better and better." " How?" "That fainting bit in church today." "Very remarkable." "What did you do to her?" " Nothing." " Nothing?" " Nothing at all?" " No." " She told me she saw something." " Perhaps she is going mad." "Unless she did see something." "The congregation weren't an inspiring group, but hardly enough to make her faint." "She saw it again in the garden just now." "I'm worried about her." "If she is going mad, she needs a doctor." " Proper attention." " You're a nurse." "I'm not a nurse." "You knew that when you brought me here." "You're not a nurse." "You've got other qualifications." " Are you free for the evening?" " Mm-hm." "The rest of the night's your own...?" "Sleep tight, my darling." "(He laughs)" "Sleep tight." " Where have you been?" " I'm sorry, sir." " I thought all the family had retired." " They haven't." "I want another bottle of brandy." "Don't just stand there, man!" "Get it!" "Sorry, sir." "There is no more brandy." "(Slams bottle down) Why not?" "The wine merchant." "Something about an unpaid account, sir." "And there is also the garage." "Kent tried to get some petrol today." "They won't allow you any further credit, sir." "If I may say so..." "You may not, Williams!" "You may not say anything." "And tomorrow, you will get me another dozen bottles of brandy." " Without settling your account, sir..." " Don't argue with me!" "Get it!" "Get it!" "And I consider £20 a week to be quite adequate for the family wine allowance." "I've instructed the wine merchants accordingly." "I'll pay the garage, but there'll be no more money." "By what right do you pontificate on what money I can have?" " As executor of your parents' estate." " Whose money is it?" " Certainly not yours." " It will be soon." " In three weeks." " Then stretch a point." " Let me have some now." " Look at these." "Motor cars, alcohol." "Trips to America." "Holidays on the continent." "And that yacht." " You paid them all." " Yes, I did." "But only after the suppliers threatened to take you to court." "Your family name means more to me than it does to you." "You sound like Aunt Harriet." "You've overspent your allowance and run up debts you had no hope of meeting, whereas your sister Eleanor has..." "Don't bring her into it." "She's out of her mind." "No doubt you would wish to have her certified as such." "We're not completely stupid, even if you like to think so." "What's that supposed to mean?" "It entered your mind, with Eleanor out of the way, you'd get her share of the money?" "Yes, Mr Kossett." "It has entered my mind." " Yes, I thought as much." " So what?" "Nothing." "But for as long as I control the money, you won't get a penny more." "Even if you're dragged through every court in Britain." "In three weeks, you can do what you like, but not till then." "All right, three weeks." "Then do you know what I'll do?" "Drink yourself to death?" "I'll find the best firm of accountants I can to look into the affairs of the Trust." " With what in mind?" " To find out how much money you've embezzled in the last ten years." "Show Mr Ashby out, Keith." "I'll talk to him, Father." "Do what you like, but keep him away from me." " Pompous old windbag." " Come into my office." "Care for a drink?" "You, er..." "You didn't mean that about the accountants, did you?" "Yes." "Worried?" " No." " You should be, Keith." "Your father would rather cut his throat than take anything that wasn't his." "But you..." "You're like me, Keith." "You like expensive things." "I'm not saying you've dug too deeply into the Trust." "But there'll be a few thousand unaccounted for." "How about letting me have 100 quid for a couple of weeks and we'll forget about it?" "(Seagulls cry)" "Dear God." "Please forgive me." "(Doorbell rings)" "Miss Eleanor!" "I'll take her to her room." "It's still the same one?" "At the end of the corridor." "Up here." "Quick, bring her in here." "What happened?" "Where did you find her?" " Is she all right?" " I think so." " Where's the young man?" " He left." "It was him." "I'm sure of it." "Stop being a fool, Williams." "Let's go and find him." " Williams..." " Yes, miss?" " Who was he?" " It was Mr Tony, miss." "(Brakes screech)" "Why the hell don't you look where you're going?" "Come here!" "Did you hear what I said?" "(Harriet) Come inside, both of you!" "Simon!" "Simon, I want to speak to you!" "Come in, please." "I want to talk to you." "Williams, take him up to Mr Simon's room and get him some dry clothes." "Yes, Miss Ashby." "Will you come with me, please, sir?" "(Door opens, footsteps)" "Tony?" "Is it really you?" "How do you feel?" "I feel wonderful." "Come closer." "Sit down." "I was beginning to think Simon was right." " What about?" " He thinks I'm mad." "That isn't true, Eleanor." "Simon only worries about you." "You will tell me everything, Tony." "Help me to understand." "I think your aunt is waiting to speak to Mr Ashby." "Well, then later." "Promise?" "I promise." "Oh, Tony!" "I'm so happy." "I'll see you later." " I'll get up for dinner." " I don't think you should." "Of course I should." "Tony's come back." "Come in here, please." "Sit down." "Well..." "Who are you and what do you want?" "You know who I am, Aunt Harriet." "I know who you want us to think you are." "And please call me Miss Ashby." " Miss Ashby." " You want us to think you're Tony Ashby." "Well, I don't know what your game is, but in case you are unaware of the fact," "Tony Ashby committed suicide..." "eight years ago." "And he left a note saying, "I can't stand it any longer." "Please forgive me."" "You read about that in the papers, of course." "He left a note on the cliff top to make it look as if it was suicide, but it wasn't." "They didn't find a body, did they, Miss Ashby?" "They didn't, did they?" "The tide is very strong there." "There wasn't a body." "I just ran away." "You just ran away?" "Why?" "Because I couldn't stand being with you for a moment longer, Aunt Harriet." "And why have you come back?" "To see the house." "To see Eleanor." "It seems I was just in time." "You think you can march in here out of the blue?" "I didn't come marching in here." "If Eleanor hadn't tried to kill herself, I'd have left." "Then why don't you do just that now?" "I shall." "When I find out what you've been doing to her." " What?" " When I left, she was normal and healthy." "She was upset when Mother and Father were killed, but sane." "Now look at her!" " How dare you!" " How dare he what, Aunt Harriet?" " Return to his own home?" " Simon!" "I'm sorry I ran off like that." "You gave me a bit of a shock." "Drink?" "I'm afraid we're a bit short of brandy, but we can manage anything else." " Not for me, thank you." " Come on, this is an occasion." " I still don't drink." " No, of course not." "I'm afraid I do." "You'll have to excuse me." "Cheers." "You'll appreciate that your arrival was a bit of a surprise." "You must give us a little time to adapt ourselves." "Of course." "I understand." "You're very generous." "What were you doing on the cliffs when our sister decided to take the plunge?" "Making up my mind whether to come here." " You hadn't decided?" " No." "Not even with half a million pounds at stake?" " Half a million?" " 600,000, to be exact." "Surely you knew?" "If you are who you claim to be, where have you been?" " Does it matter?" " Yes, we'll check on it." " On every move for the past eight years." " I have nothing to hide." "You always were very honest and above board." " We don't know..." " No, we don't know." "Let's be democratic about the whole thing." "Innocent until proven guilty, hmm?" "(Footsteps)" "Oh, look." "Our little sister has returned from a watery grave." " So has our brother, Simon." " Well said, little sister." "Are you sure you ought to be up?" "Yes, I've never felt better in my life." "Isn't it wonderful to have him back?" "Yes, indeed." "We're all thrilled." "Dinner is served, Miss Ashby." " Well, shall we?" " Mm-hm." " I'm not dressed for the occasion." " Doesn't matter." " I left my clothes at the hotel." " We'll send the car for them later." "(Car approaches)" "Williams has gone to bed." "I said I'd stay up for you." "Thank you." " Is that all?" " Yes, I find it easier to travel light." " Always on the move?" " Until now." "You must tell us all about it." "It sounds fascinating." "We've put you in Tony's old room." "I probably won't recognise it." "It's been so long." "No, probably not." "Still, you remember where it is?" " Yes, thank you." "After you." " No, I'll stay down here for a bit." "After you." "Good night...brother." "Tony!" "Tony, there you are." "I've been looking for you everywhere." "Now you've found me, come and sit down." "You've got to get back to the house." "Mr Kossett is here to see you." "Kossett?" "Yes, you remember." "Old Mr Kossett, the lawyer." "Oh, old Mr Kossett." "I thought you meant Keith." "No." "Tony, Simon and Harriet are with him." "They'll try to trick you." "Be careful." "How do you do, young man?" "You certainly look the part, I must say." " How are you, Mr Kossett?" " So you know me?" "Yes, of course I do." "Then you'll know what I gave you for your tenth birthday." "I'm sorry?" "Your tenth birthday." "What did I give you?" " Don't you remember?" " I do." "You have a better memory than I do." "I haven't the faintest idea." " Of course he hasn't." "He's an impostor." " Wait a minute." "For my ninth birthday, you gave me a fountain pen." "For my 11th..." "A bicycle, I think it was." "And for my 12th, a train." "But for my tenth, I really can't remember." "I see." "All right, young man, suppose we get down to brass tacks." " Who are you and what do you want?" " I'm Tony Ashby." "You won't take his word for it?" "No, I have a number of questions I want to ask." "Have you any objection to my asking them here?" " No, sir." " Well, sit down." "Now then..." "Your full name?" "Antony James Ashby." "Mother and father's names?" " John and Mary." " Whereabouts?" "They're dead." "They were killed in an aeroplane crash 11 years ago." " Where were they going at the time?" " New York." " Both of them?" " I'm asking the questions, Harriet." "Any newspaper could tell him these!" " Please allow me to do this my way." " I know what that means." " What?" " You want him to be Tony." " Simon..." " It's true, Aunt Harriet." "Our Mr Kossett doesn't particularly like me." "Do you..." "Kossett?" "That has no bearing on what I have to do." "Doesn't it?" "Well, you'll excuse me if I don't stay to watch the farce, won't you?" "Simon!" "Where are you going?" "If you want to watch these people rob me of £500,000, you're welcome." " Simon, please." " I'm going for a drive." "I shall probably get drunk." "Coming, Aunt Harriet?" "See what you're doing to him?" "I see him behaving abominably which is nothing new." " If you'll leave us alone, we can get on." " No, I'm staying." "Please yourself, Harriet." "Now, your brother had a pony." "What was its name?" " No, HE didn't." " Yes, he did, John." "No, I had the pony." "But he made such a fuss, we had to pretend it was his." "It was your idea." " What was its name?" " Its name was, um..." "Clinker." "What was the name of your best friend at school?" "Arkwright." "Robert Arkwright." "Had he any brothers or sisters?" "Yes, he had a brother, a class ahead of me." "What was his nickname?" "I can hardly tell you in front of Aunt Harriet." "Quite!" "Tony Ashby doesn't drink." "Tony Ashby doesn't." "I do." "A large brandy, please." "Well?" "Your father seemed convinced." "That seems to be that." "He's a difficult man to convince." "Yes, he is." "You're sure he wasn't pretending, waiting to catch you out when your guard's down?" "No, I'm not sure." "And I don't care much any more." "Come and sit down." "What's the matter?" "Has the thought of money grown distasteful?" "No, it hasn't." "It's just what I've been doing has." "You knew what you were in for from the beginning." " I didn't know the people involved." " Don't tell me you like them?" "Unless, of course, Eleanor?" "Well, well, well!" "I take it she has accepted you as her brother?" "Makes things a bit awkward for you." "Still, mustn't grumble." "That was the object of the exercise." "You draw 100 quid a week and live the life of Riley and everybody's happy." "You must admit I briefed you pretty well." " Did Father ask you about that pony?" " Mm-hm." "Yes, I knew he would." "I suggested it to him." "That's excellent." "It should be plain sailing from now on." " You've just about thought of everything." " Just about." "What would you have done if you hadn't found me?" "Oh, I had one or two other chaps lined up." "Their resemblance was purely superficial, but I might have got away with it." "With you the resemblance was phenomenal." " You're perfect, old boy." "Quite perfect." " Listen..." "Ah, ah!" "You can get 5 to 10 years for fraud." "What can you get for stealing £500,000?" "5 to 10 years." " You don't give me much choice, do you?" " None at all." "I think you'd better go now." "Oh, and... ..watch it with Eleanor." "Well, after all, she is supposed to be your sister." "Took your time, didn't you?" "Oh, real grape champagne!" "Keep this up and you'll never get rid of me!" " I love it." " Champagne does things for me." " Pity you don't use it more often." " Go and fry your face." " Delicious!" " Watch it, mate!" "You're spilling half!" "There's plenty more where this came from." "I think you're right, my beauty." " Anyway, here's yours." " Ta." "And one for me and one for you." " And a toast!" " What - another one?" "A toast." "Any objections?" "No, go ahead." "I love commercials." "To my brother!" "My long-lost brother who returned from a watery grave, God bless him." "To his brother." "Oh, be careful, dear." "To Tony, who we thought was dead, but all he was really doing was sleeping 40 fathoms below." " Oo-er!" " To Tony!" " And to half a million pounds." " Oh!" "I'll drink to that." "A bit barmy, isn't he?" "Tony?" "Tony, you're not drinking." "We can't have that." "He hasn't even got a drink." "Come on, Tony." "No..." "Nobody's going to leave you all by yourself" " without a drink." " I don't want one." " Have one drink with me." " I don't..." " And then we'll go home." " No...!" " And after you've had a drink..." " Easy there, friend." " Do you mind?" "This is between brothers." " Come on." "Poor old..." "You're just being rude to my brother." "I don't like your stupid face or your pop eyes." "I'm going to do something about it right now, with these." "Come on, Tony, let's go home." "You're not Tony." "You're not Tony!" "If this other chap insisted on pressing charges, your brother would be inside." "Give him a message from me when he sobers up." " Next time, I'll call the police myself." " All right, he's only drunk." "Only drunk?" "I've seen drunks before." "You watch him." "Take my word for it - you watch him." "That's right, Tony." "You watch me." "I'll watch you." "Where did you come from this time, brother?" "The landlord phoned." "Said you weren't fit to drive." "He was right, wasn't he?" "What's it feel like being a millionaire?" " I'm not." " Formalities." "Just formalities." "What sort of an allowance are you going to make me?" " I'll leave that to Kossett." " Very generous." " Eleanor, too." " Uh-huh." "I don't know who found you or where, but you're Tony to a T, I'll give you that." "Pompous, self-opinionated, holier than thou and dull." "So dull." " Still don't believe I'm Tony, do you?" " Nope." " Why not?" " Just call it a hunch." "I'm afraid you'll have to accept it." "I'll never accept it, brother." "Never." "I'm drunk, Auntie." "But then that's nothing new, is it?" "Happy dreams, everyone." "Don't you touch him!" "I think you've done enough already." "Put your arm around me." "That's it." "(Organ music)" "(Boy singing)" "(Creak)" "(Chimes)" "(Singing grows louder)" "(Singing continues)" "# Hear my prayer" "# Come... #" "Tony!" "Come into the house, quickly!" "But, Tony, how did it happen?" "I hardly know myself." "I pushed open the door and before I knew what was happening, this thing appeared." "Someone was wearing a mask." "Next thing I knew, I was on the ground." "If it wasn't for this arm, I'd think I dreamt the whole thing." "Oh!" " I'm sorry." " You're doing fine." "Shouldn't we tell somebody?" " Who?" " The police?" " No." " You might have been killed!" "I don't think so." "Not yet, anyway." "I'd rather wait to see what happens next." "Tony, what does it all mean?" "I don't know." "Has this sort of thing ever happened to you before?" "Well, I-I-I've heard the organ playing before." "And the boy singing, but no one ever seemed to hear it but me." "I'd begun to think it was all in my mind." "Did you ever go down to see what was happening?" " I was frightened." " Then why tonight?" "Well, I went to your room to tell you about it, but you weren't there, so I guessed you'd gone downstairs." "I wanted to make sure you were all right." "Look..." "I want you to go to your room, take one of your sleeping pills and sleep straight through until morning." "And no dreaming." "That's an order." "I'll try." "Eleanor..." "That singing." "Whose voice was it?" "I don't know, but... ..it sounded just like you." "Before you went away." "(Seagull cries)" "There's one." "Another one." "(Gulls cry)" " You are happy, aren't you, Tony?" " Of course I am." "And you won't leave us again?" "Does it mean so much to you?" "It means everything." "Maybe I've changed." "Perhaps I'm not the brother you remember." "Don't say that." "Not even as a joke." "If..." "Well, if something were to happen to you now, I don't know what I'd do." "Anyway, you ARE Tony and you are the brother I remember." "Makes me feel safe just having you near." "That's how it always used to be." "Do you remember when I was frightened?" "You only had to speak and I was all right." "And when I had nightmares, you'd come into my room and stay until I was asleep." "I always used to feel...contented." "At peace." "I feel that way now." "Thank you for coming back, Tony." " I think we should go." " It's not late, is it?" " No, but I think we should." " All right." "I'll do that." " I'll turn the car round." " Good." "TONY!" "Tony!" " Tony!" " Don't move!" "Switch off the engine and keep still!" "Now get out!" "Over the windscreen!" " I nearly left yesterday, you know." " Mm-hm." " Simon..." " Yeah?" "Why don't we both leave?" "There's nothing here for you any more." " You'd come away with me?" " Of course." "Isn't that why I came here in the first place?" "To be with you?" " I haven't got any money." " Money doesn't matter as long as we have each other." "You're more stupid than I give you credit for." "What is it that makes you want to hurt people?" " I don't hurt people." " Oh, yes, you do." "All the time." "Your aunt, Eleanor." "Me." "Do I hurt you?" "Sometimes." "You're cruel." "But then you like me hurting you, don't you?" " Simon, let's go." " There's no point!"

" Why were you so shocked?" " Will you stop talking like a fool?" " Come here." " No, Simon, it's finished." " What makes you think I'd let you go?" " You don't have any alternative." "If you try to stop me, or come after me, I'll start telling people what I know." " You don't know anything." " Enough." "Enough for what?" "You've always known that I wasn't exactly the blue-eyed boy." "It never worried you." "No, Simon..." "Please..." "I've never pretended to be anything I wasn't." "Not to you, anyway." "Please, Simon..." "I don't want you to go." " I need you." " I've waited so long for you to say that." "It's true." "I need you now more than I ever did before." "I won't leave you, my darling." "I promise." "I know you won't." "I know you won't, my pretty." "(Splashing)" "Nobody ever leaves me." " Looking for someone?" " Yes." "If you're looking for Françoise, she left." " Left?" " Gone." "Last night." "That was a bit sudden, wasn't it?" " Very sudden." " Did she leave any message?" "No message." "Oh." "I'm sorry." "Are you?" "Why?" " You didn't like her, did you?" " No, I didn't." "If it's your dear brother you're looking for, he left, too." "Oh, it's all right." "I've a feeling he'll be back." "Did he say where he was going?" "My dear child, does he ever confide in me?" " My father isn't here today." " I know." "I've come to see you." "Oh?" "If Tony Ashby, the real Tony Ashby, turned up, what then?" " That couldn't happen." " What if it did?" "We'd both be found out, wouldn't we?" "That's why I've come to warn you." "I assume you dip into the family estate." " That's none of your business." " No, but you've got 12 hours to cover up." "Hey, wait!" "What have you found out?" "I don't think Tony Ashby jumped off that cliff." "I believe I know where he is." " Good evening, Williams." " Evening, sir." " Where is everybody?" " Tony!" " Never mind, Williams." "Thank you." " Where have you been?" "I was worried." "I'm all right." "Where are the others?" "Aunt Harriet's up in her room and Simon's out." " Darling, do you trust me?" " Of course." " Pack your things." "We're leaving." " When?" " Tonight." " Well, where?" " I don't know." "Does it matter?" " No." "Go to your room." "I'll pick you up later." "OK." "Get out!" "Get out of here!" "How dare you touch that!" "Get out!" "No, Miss Ashby." "I'm looking for something." "Can't you leave him anything?" "This is Simon's place." " You've no right to interfere." " Why?" "Has he got something to hide?" "I..." "It's private." " I'm sorry." " What are you looking for?" " Don't you know, Miss Ashby?" " No!" "No, you can't!" "I won't let you!" "(She sobs)" "Everything here at High Tor is yours." "It all belongs to you now." "Do you have to end by destroying everything?" "I'm afraid so." "(Footstep)" "You had to be clever, didn't you?" "I had to find out." "Well, now you've found out, what are you going to do about it?" "I'll tell you." "Nothing." "Because Tony isn't dead, is he?" "I'm talking to him now." " How did you fake that suicide note?" " I didn't." "I got him to write it in a game." "I kept it." " How long before?" " A year." "Maybe two." "You made up your mind to murder him when you were 13?" " About then." " And you did your best to murder me." "Not my best." "It made no difference to you that Eleanor was with me." "Two birds with one stone." "That's what I thought." " Where are you going?" " Where do you think?" "What?" "To tell?" "You certainly can't tell anybody or you'll say goodbye to the money." " I don't want the money." " You expect me to believe that?" "Believe what you like." "I don't want the money." "Why did you come here in the beginning?" "It's a long story." "It's not that important any more." "He tried to fool us, Tony." "He..." "He tried to pretend that..." "he was you." "But we knew, Tony, didn't we?" "He had everybody fooled." "Tony?" "We knew." "We knew, Tony." "(Organ music)" "It's too late." "Tony and I have had a talk." "We've decided what's going to happen to you." "You see, Tony's been alone for a long time." "But he's going to have company." "Because you're going to join him." "Isn't he, Tony?" "I told you you'd destroy everything!" "Yourself as well." "Simon..." "Hello, Aunt Harriet." "Come away from here, Simon." "No." "I've got to kill him." "You see, he knows what I did to Tony." "Come away from here." "Leave it to me." "Go back to the house, Simon." "I won't be a moment." "Simon belongs to me." "No one shall hurt him!" "You're not going back to the house." "You're coming back with me." "Come on!" "Simon!" "Simon!" "No!" "Simon!" "(Babbling)" "Simon..." "SIMON !"
