After all, I'm just a man. 733 01:23:45,532 --> 01:23:49,468 She would undress at night, without drawing the curtain... 734 01:23:50,437 --> 01:23:53,929 And so I... used to watch her with that spyglass. 735 01:23:54,775 --> 01:23:56,572 I couldn't help myself... 736 01:23:57,077 --> 01:24:00,012 She'd wiggle and ride on the floor, half naked, and I... 737 01:24:00,480 --> 01:24:03,608 ...I thought I'd go mad, watching her move like that. 738 01:24:04,751 --> 01:24:09,450 But I just waited all day for that moment to come at night. 739 01:24:10,424 --> 01:24:12,051 And then, that night... 740 01:24:13,894 --> 01:24:16,362 I saw her put some money into a box. 741 01:24:19,232 --> 01:24:21,223 She seemed quite upset. 742 01:24:23,136 --> 01:24:27,664 It began to rain, and as I moved the spyglass, I saw a man. 743 01:24:30,744 --> 01:24:34,544 I couldn't see as well as before, but... 744 01:24:35,082 --> 01:24:39,348 It looked as if he pushed a cushion down over her face. 745 01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:42,912 By this time, the spyglass lens was covered up by raindrops, 746 01:24:43,457 --> 01:24:45,982 in fact the rain formed a curtain, 747 01:24:46,226 --> 01:24:49,389 so I just couldn't make anything out clearly. 748 01:24:49,629 --> 01:24:52,860 Some minutes later, that man got out of the house. 749 01:24:54,067 --> 01:24:56,433 He was carrying her body over his shoulder. 750 01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:04,736 I stood there, by the spyglass. I didn't know what to do. 751 01:25:06,546 --> 01:25:08,173 Sometime later I saw him come back, 752 01:25:08,381 --> 01:25:12,044 He searched around the house, as if looking for something. 753 01:25:19,926 --> 01:25:22,156 He went over to the cupboard and opened it... 754 01:25:24,064 --> 01:25:25,895 ...then he bent down and picked something up. 755 01:25:31,004 --> 01:25:33,302 It looked to me like a pair of boots. 756 01:25:34,107 --> 01:25:38,601 Womers shoes, anyway... Then he moved off suddenly. 757 01:25:40,247 --> 01:25:43,546 I tried to follow him with the spyglass, to see who he was. 758 01:25:47,687 --> 01:25:49,450 But I wasrt able to see, unfortunately. 759 01:25:52,058 --> 01:25:56,188 There were 5000 pounds in that open and empty house... 760 01:25:56,863 --> 01:26:01,527 I thought..." It's not like you're stealing it, really..." 761 01:26:02,035 --> 01:26:04,629 It would have been a huge temptation for anyone. 762 01:26:05,172 --> 01:26:09,472 I took the money meaning to give it back at the right time. 763 01:26:09,743 --> 01:26:12,837 All right, never mind...
