是的。她说:“比姨妈，帮帮我，帮帮我。” Yes. She said, ''Aunt Bea, help me, help me.''
你以为她是什么意思? What did you assume she meant?
她需要帮助，探长。 That she needed help, lnspector.
那你能解释一下为什么我接到的电话是普雷斯顿先生打来的吗? Then will you explain why the phone call l received was from Mr Preston?
我很困惑。我以为普雷斯顿先生知道该怎么做。 Well, l was confused. l thought Mr Preston would know what to do.
你不认为你侄女有任何直接的危险吗? You didn't think your niece was in any immediate danger?
那个人可能会威胁她的生命? That the man might threaten her life?
一切都太快了。她没有提到那个男人。我以为她是… Lt was all so quick. She didn't mention the man. l thought she was...
她是什么? She was what?
当然是遇到了麻烦。 Ln some kind of trouble, naturally.
我给普雷斯顿先生打了电话，然后亲自赶过来看看我能做些什么。 l called Mr Preston, then l rushed here myself to see what l could do.
我是否可以提出，叫场来可能更明智一些? May l submit that it might have been wiser to call the Yard?
只是个建议， Just a suggestion,
以防你来访时遇到紧急情况。 in case you run into another emergency while you're visiting.
年轻的先生。 Mr Younger.
从你听到普雷斯顿太太打电话到现在，你花了多长时间 How long did it take you from the time you heard Mrs Preston call
直到你踏足公寓? until you set foot in the flat?
我猜是15到20秒。 Oh, l'd say 15, 20 seconds.
-你没看到这个人吗?——没有。 - You saw no sign of this man? - No.
然后你立刻叫你的人去检查入口? Then you immediately called down to your men to check the entrances?
这取决于你说的“马上”是什么意思。 Lt depends on what you mean by immediately.
我确保了闯入者不在公寓里。 l made sure the intruder wasn't in the flat.
-比如说，十秒钟?-差不多了。 - Say, ten seconds? - Near enough.
-他们也没看见他吗?-没错。 - And they saw no sign of him either? - That's right.
大约35秒就能爬过四层楼，然后消失在空气中。 About 35 seconds to negotiate four storeys and vanish into thin air.
我没有秒表，但我觉得他好像很着急。 l didn't have a stopwatch but it does seem to me he'd be in a hurry.
他一定走得很快。 He must have been fleet of foot.
你为什么不把你的想法说出来? Why don't you say what you're thinking?
-那会是什么?-你不相信我，对吧? - What would that be? - You don't believe me, do you?
你认为他是我编造出来的。你认为这一切都是我编的。 You think l made him up. You think l made everything up.
广场上的那个人，那些电话。 The man in the square, the phone calls.
从一开始你就不相信我。 From the start you haven't believed me.
现在,装备… Now, Kit...
我们已经把伦敦的重建拖得太久了。 We've delayed the rebuilding of London long enough.
你可以走了。 You may go.
一切都会好的，亲爱的。 Everything will be all right, darling.
我不否认我有过这样的想法，普雷斯顿夫人， l can't deny that the thought had occurred to me, Mrs Preston,
但我们必须探索每一条途径， but we have to explore every avenue,
然后封锁他们，直到只剩下一条路，右边的路。 then seal them off until there's only one left - the right avenue.
抱歉，探长。我不该说那些话。 l'm sorry, lnspector. l shouldn't have said what l said.
我们将继续尽我们所能。下午好。 We'll continue to do everything we can. Good afternoon.
请不要麻烦了。 Please don't trouble.
托尼，我不能再呆在这里了。 Tony, l can't stay here any longer.
我不能……我不能。 l can't... l can't.
你不必这么做。我们将按计划去威尼斯。远离电话。 You don't have to. We'll go to Venice as planned. Away from telephones.
这是我今天下午听到的第一个好主意。 (Bea) That's the first bright idea l've heard this afternoon.
-但是，托尼，你说…-没错。 - But, Tony, you said... - That's right.
-你怎么能这样?怎么样?-普雷斯顿的? - How can you? What about...? - Preston's?
让它滚落下来。 Let it come tumbling down.
哦,托尼。 Oh, Tony.
-雨停了。——好。 - lt's stopped raining. - Good.
-祝你旅途愉快。-我们会的。 - l hope you have a wonderful trip. - We shall.
-谢谢。-你能在五点前送到吗? - Thank you. - You will have it there before five?
我会把你丈夫名字的首字母刻在上面。 I’ll see that your husband's initials are engraved.
出租车! Taxi!
哦。我很抱歉……不，你先说。谢谢你！ Oh. l'm sorry... No, you first. Thank you.
-你是美国人，不是吗?——是的。 - You're an American, aren't you? - Yes.
好。我喜欢美国人，他们太…我也不知道为什么，我就是喜欢。 Good. l like Americans, they're so... l don't really know why, l just do.
请再说一遍?你能告诉一个无助的美国人怎么去格罗夫纳广场吗? Pardon me? Could you tell a helpless American how to get to Grosvenor Square?
我马上过去。我们必须在海德公园转车。 l'm going right by there. We shall have to change at Hyde Park Corner.
-你帮我抓着我的燕尾服。-谢谢。 - You just hang on to my coat-tails. - Thank you.
这是我们。各就各位。 That's us. Take your battle stations.
-打电话给医院-她就站在我旁边。 - Call a hospital. - She was standing right next to me.
-让我扶你起来。-你没事吧，小姐? - Let me help you up. - You all right, miss?
(佩吉)打扰一下。我很好，谢谢你。 (Peggy) Excuse me. (Kit) l'm all right, thank you.
你应该找个医生看看。-不了，谢谢。我没事。 - You ought to have a doctor look at you. - No, thank you. l'm all right.
哦,佩吉。 Oh, Peggy.
装备。我看到了整个过程。 Kit. l saw the whole thing.
-这是怎么回事?-不是我的错。 - What's going on here? - Wasn't my fault.
前一秒她还不在，然后她就在我的车轮下了。 One second she wasn't there, then she was practically under my wheels.
-你受伤了吗，小姐?——没有。这不是任何人的错。 - Are you hurt, miss? - No. Lt wasn't anyone's fault.
那是个意外。我滑倒了。 Lt was an accident. l slipped and l fell.
出租车! Taxi!
你得对我们的天气多加小心。好吧。沿着。 You do want to be more careful with our weather. All right. Move along.
我刚从卡罗尔家出来就看到你了。 l'd just come out of Carroll's when l saw you.
我想我们可以喝茶。l。 l thought we might have tea. l called.
然后我看到你摔倒了，公共汽车朝你开过来。 Then l saw you fall and the bus coming toward you.
我以为你完蛋了。 l thought you were done for.
-佩吉…——是吗? - Peggy... - Yes?
-我没有摔倒。——什么? - l didn't fall. - What?
-有人推我。-凯特，你确定吗? - Someone pushed me. - Kit, are you sure?
我感觉到他的手放在我的背上。 l felt his hand on my back.
是那个一直打电话来的人。 Lt was the man who's been telephoning.
-你看到他了吗?-不，但我知道他在那里 - Did you see him? - No, but l know he was there.
从我离开行李店的那一刻起… From the moment l left that luggage shop...
我能感觉到他在看我。 l could feel his eyes on me.
你为什么不告诉警察? Why didn't you tell the police?
他们不相信我。发生了那么多事之后就不是了。 They don't believe me. Not after all that's happened.
我们一到家你就给托尼打电话。 You've got to call Tony the moment we get home.
他也不会相信我的。 He won't believe me either.
——有。-谢谢。 - There. - Thank you.
-佩吉…——是吗? - Peggy... - Yes?
如果这一切发生在你身上，你丈夫会怎么做? What would your husband do if all of this were happening to you?
罗伊?把我带到某个地方，直到找到那个人。 Roy? Take me away somewhere, l suppose, until the man was found.
托尼正带你去威尼斯呢。 Just as Tony's taking you away to Venice.
托尼要带我去威尼斯，因为…因为他认为…… Tony's taking me to Venice because... because he thinks...
哦,佩吉。我知道这个人是真实的。我见过他。 Oh, Peggy. l know the man is real. l've seen him.
我真希望他现在就打电话 Oh, l wish he'd call right now,
这样你就能自己听了。 so that you could hear it for yourself.
你是说告诉托尼?这对你来说一定很糟糕。 And tell Tony, you mean? Lt must be awful for you.
佩吉…… Peggy...
-我们就不能这样说吗?-什么方式? - Can't we say it happened that way? - What way?
你在这里，你听到了他的电话。 That you were here, that you heard him on the phone.
——装备!-那托尼就得相信我了。 - Kit! - Then Tony would have to believe me.
不是我不想帮忙，但这事似乎做得有点过火了。 Lt isn't that l don't want to help, but it does seem to be going a bit far.
但也有可能是那样。 But it could have happened that way.
他第一次打电话的时候你在楼下但你本可以在这儿的。 You were downstairs the first time he called but you could have been here.
喝茶。 Having tea.
请佩吉。你不帮我吗? Please, Peggy. Won't you help me?
请。 Please.
好吧，如果这是你想要的 Well, if that's what you want.
你最好给我简单介绍一下。他到底说了什么? You'd better brief me. What exactly does he say?
就是肮脏，然后他说他要在月底前杀了我。 Just filth, then he says that he's going to kill me before the month is out.
可爱的小猩猩。 Pleasant little gorilla.
(托尼)装备? (Tony) Kit?
-你期待他早点来吗?——没有。 - Did you expect him early? - No.
包了吗? Kit?
-是的，托尼。-坐好。我去。 - Yes, Tony. - Sit still. I’ll go.
佩吉。你不会让我失望吧? Peggy. You won't let me down?
-你好，佩吉。- - - - - -你好。 - Hello, Peggy. - Hello.
-你来这儿很久了?-一个小时。 - You been here long? - An hour.
我总是忘记那条链子。有你丈夫请假的消息吗? l always forget about that chain. Any news of your husband's leave?
我有几个星期没有罗伊的消息了。我想他在海上。 l haven't heard from Roy for a couple of weeks. l expect he's at sea.
他不觉得把一个漂亮的女孩连续扔下几个月很危险吗? Doesn't he think it's dangerous leaving an attractive girl for months on end?
-你见到罗伊的时候告诉他。-我可能会的。 - Tell Roy that when you meet him. - l might do that.
-基特怎么样?-坦白说，托尼… - How's Kit? - Well, frankly, Tony...
你好,亲爱的。一切都好吗? Hello, darling. Everything all right?
托尼，他又叫道。 Tony, he called again.
——什么?-事发时佩吉在这里 - What? - Peggy was here when it happened.
-是吗?-基特把话筒递给我。 - ls that right? - Kit passed me the receiver.
她听到了他说的一切。每一个字。 She heard everything he said. Every word.
他什么时候打来的? When did he ring?
-半小时前。不是吗，佩吉?——是的。关于这个。 - Half an hour ago. Wasn't it, Peggy? - Yes. About that.
我一整天都在找你。电话坏了。 l've been trying to reach you all day. The phone's out of order.
它还是死的。 lt's still dead.
这太愚蠢了，佩吉。 lt's very silly, Peggy.
-我只是想帮忙。-那不是太过分了吗? - l only wanted to help. - Wasn't that rather overdoing it?
对不起，佩吉。 l'm sorry, Peggy.
我没有权利把你牵扯进来。 l had no right to drag you into this.
对不起，你们两个。 Sorry, you two.
包了吗?我确实认为你应该把公共汽车的事告诉托尼。 Kit? l do think you ought to tell Tony about the bus.
坐公共汽车怎么样? What about the bus?
这并不重要。 Lt wasn't important.
佩吉似乎也这么认为。 Peggy seemed to think it was.
我在一辆公共汽车前面摔倒了，就在它停下来的时候。 l fell in front of a bus, just as it was stopping.
你了吗?你在跑步吗? You fell? Were you running?
——没有。-你怎么摔的? - No. - How did you fall?
有人推了我。 Someone pushed me.
刚才在这里的那个人推了我。 The man who was here pushed me.
托尼，你得相信我。这次我没撒谎。 Tony, you've got to believe me. l'm not lying this time.
你让事情变得很困难。 You're making it very difficult.
我不知道为什么我以前对佩吉那样做。 l don't know why l did that before with Peggy.
我只是以为你不会相信我 l just thought you wouldn't believe me
关于那个男人和公共汽车还有… about the man and the bus and...
我当然会相信你，亲爱的。 Of course l would have believed you, darling.
但你真的在那里看到他了吗?实话实说。 But did you actually see him there? The truth now.
不知道，但我知道他在那里。我能感觉到。 No, but l know he was there. l could feel it.
不,托尼!让我。让我。 Don't, Tony! Let me. Let me.
我是普雷斯顿夫人。 This is Mrs Preston.
是吗?是的。 Yes? Yes.
是的，我听到了。 Yes, l heard you.
好吗? Well?
是对方告诉我们线路畅通。 Lt was the exchange telling us the line was clear.
不,工具包。 Don't, Kit.
-哦，是你，比。-通常是被邀请的时候 - Oh, it's you, Bea. - Lt usually is when l've been invited.
三点半喝茶，基特说。 Tea at 3:30, Kit said.
进来吧，比阿。 Come inside, Bea.
你太神秘了。发生了什么事? You're being mysterious. What's happened?
基特撞上了一辆公交车。 Kit had a run-in with a bus.
-她不是…?-不，不是那样的。 - She isn't...? - No, nothing like that.
不。现在不行，比阿。 No. Not now, Bea.
我们得谈谈。 We've got to have a talk.
我想我需要比茶更烈的东西。这是怎么发生的? l think l could use something stronger than tea. How did it happen?
基特说她是被打来电话的人推的。 Kit said she was pushed by the man who's been phoning.
-她又见到他了?-不，不完全是。 - She saw him again? - No, not exactly.
这是什么意思? What does that mean?
这一次她只感觉到他在那里。 This time she only had the feeling he was there.
比阿，我也不知道了。 Bea, l don't know any more.
我不知道我娶的是女人还是女孩。我不知道该怎么想。 l don't know if l'm married to a woman or a girl. l don't know what to think.
我开始怀疑这一切是否真的发生过。 l'm beginning to wonder whether any of it happened.
当然有。事情正如她所说的那样发生了。 Of course it has. Lt happened just as she said.
你很忠诚，但也许面对事实会更好。 That's very loyal of you, but perhaps it would be better to face the facts.
事实是基特被一个虐待狂折磨着。 The facts are that Kit is being tormented by a sadistic fiend.
你相信吗? Surely you believe that?
我正在努力。她是我的妻子。 l'm trying to. She's my wife.
对不起，托尼。我知道你已经尽力了。 l'm sorry, Tony. l know you've done everything you can.
刚才，基特让我们的一个邻居替她撒谎， Just now, Kit got a neighbour of ours to lie for her,
假装她听到了那个男人的电话。 to pretend she heard the man on the phone.
哦,不是吗? Oh, no?
是的。巴士的事让我大吃一惊。 Yes. And that bus thing gave me a jolt.
天知道是什么把她扔到它面前的。 Heaven knows what threw her in front of it.
我们得在基特伤害自己之前采取行动。 We've got to act before Kit does herself an injury.
-她绝不会…-她可能没有意识到。 - She'd never... - She might not be aware of doing it.
比阿，这是个机会。你拿着，假装你是基特。 Bea, it's a chance. You take it, pretend you're Kit.
如果是我们的朋友，至少我们会知道。 lf it's our friend, at least we'll know.
喂? Hello?
是的。我是普雷斯顿夫人。 Yes. This is Mrs Preston.
是的。我听。 Yes. l'm listening.
好吗? Well?
Bea吗? Bea?
是他，对吧? Lt was him, wasn't it?
-你听到他说的了吧?——是的。 - You heard him, didn't you? - Yes.
他说了什么? What did he say?
基特，回去休息吧。 Kit, go back and rest.
你为什么不告诉我? Why won't you tell me?
你不知道我经历了什么吗? Don't you know what l've been going through?
请别再把我当小孩看待了。 Please stop treating me like a child.
比阿，他说什么? Bea, what did he say?
基特，会没事的。我们会帮你的。 Kit, it's going to be all right. We're going to help you.
比阿，他说什么?他说了什么? Bea, what did he say? What did he say?
他说:“我什么时候给你打电话，普雷斯顿夫人?”你还没有给我打电话呢。” He said, ''What time shall l ring you, Mrs Preston? You haven't called me.''
哦…… Oh...
哦。 Oh.
他是在撒谎。他认得我的声音。 He's lying. He knows my voice.
你还不明白吗?他认得我的声音。 Don't you see? He knows my voice.
他是在撒谎。 He's lying.
哦,上帝… Oh, God...
托尼，帮帮我! Tony, help me!
托尼…… Tony...
Bea阿姨…… Aunt Bea...
别这样，基特。 Stop this, Kit.
基特，别这样。 Kit, stop this.
灯,护士。 Lights, Nurse.
普雷斯顿夫人，头不要动，眼睛跟着我的手指。 Mrs Preston, keep your head still, follow my finger with your eyes.
不要动你的头。只看你的眼睛。谢谢你！ Don't move your head. Just your eyes. Thank you.
-现在拍x光片，护士。-是的，医生。这边走，普雷斯顿夫人。 - Now the X-rays, nurse. - Yes, Doctor. This way, Mrs Preston.
普雷斯顿夫人吗? Mrs Preston?
到目前为止我只能说她身体很健康 So far l'd say she was in good physical health.
不管怎样，这是个好消息。 That's good news anyway.
至于另一件事，打电话，雇一个人打电话， As to the other - the phone calls, hiring a man to make them,
受迫害的感觉 the feeling of persecution -
这在血球计数和照相底片上都找不到。 that doesn't show up in a blood count or on a photographic plate.
她可能是人格分裂的受害者。 She may be the victim of disassociation of personality.
过着两种不自知的生活。 Living two lives without knowing it.
也许最明智的做法是和精神病医生谈谈。 Probably the wisest course would be a talk with the psychiatrist.
你认为……? You think...?
他也许能发现一些被遗忘的经历， He might be able to uncover some forgotten experience,
也许是某种童年行为模式。 some pattern of childhood behaviour, perhaps.
我可以给你介绍几个很好的人。 l could give you the names of some very good men.
这当然取决于你了，普雷斯顿先生。好好想想吧。原谅我。 lt's up to you of course, Mr Preston. Give it some thought. Excuse me.
哦,医生? Oh, Doctor?
是吗? Yes?
我们原计划明天出国。我想那是不可能的。 We'd planned to go abroad tomorrow. l suppose that's out of the question.
改变一下可能对她有好处。 A change might do her good.
放松紧张。让精神病医生的工作更轻松。 Relax the tension. Make the psychiatrist's job easier.
我是说，如果这是你决定的。原谅我。 l mean, if that's what you decide on. Excuse me.
Bea ? Well, Bea?
也许威尼斯就是答案，托尼。清除蜘蛛网。 Maybe Venice is the answer, Tony. To clear the cobwebs away.
如果这不是答案呢? And if it isn't the answer?
我们自然会为基特做最好的选择。 We'll do what's best for Kit, naturally.
——亲爱的?——是吗? - Darling? - Yes?
-比阿那边有进展了吗?-呼她就行。 - Any luck with Bea yet? - Just paging her.
谢谢你！我是说威尼斯。 Thank you. For Venice, l mean.
希望你能把它打包。 Hope you're going to pack that.
-你好，亲爱的。还是老样子吗?-是的，谢谢。还有一个三明治。 - Hello, love. Gonna have the usual? - Yes, thank you. And a sandwich.
-兰姆没事吧?-很好。 - Lamb be all right? - That'll be fine.
-比阿半小时后到。——好。 - Bea will be here in half an hour. - Good.
需要帮忙吗? Need any help?
就像个男人一样，当我快要完工的时候。 Just like a man - when l'm practically finished.
怎么了? What's the matter?
今晚我不该丢下你一个人。 l shouldn't leave you alone at all tonight.
亲爱的，我以为我们都解决了。 Oh, darling, l thought we'd settled all that.
-别担心。-我可以取消董事会 - Stop worrying. - l can call off the board meeting.
如果是特别会议，那一定很重要。 lf it's a special meeting it must be important.
亲爱的，比姨妈会和我在一起。 Darling, Aunt Bea will be with me.
也许她会带一把猎象枪来。 Maybe she'll bring one of her elephant guns.
-我会没事的，真的。-我会尽快的 - I’ll be fine, really l will. - I’ll make it as quick as l can.
我去调一杯在路上吃，等碧姨妈来。 I’ll go and mix one for the road, wait for Aunt Bea to arrive.
-他看起来很奇怪，是不是，宝贝儿?——是的。我想是战争吧。 - Odd looking chap, isn't he, ducks? - Yes. The war, l suppose.
我不怪这个可怜的人的长相 l don't blame the poor soul for how he looks
但这样的事是会使人心神不安的。 but a thing like that has been known to unsettle a man's mind.
-你想说什么，朵拉?-他已经在这里呆了好几天了。 - What are you getting at, Dora? - He's been hanging around for days.
他很安静，你伺候他就付钱， He's quiet enough and pays when you serve him,
但就拿昨晚我和蒂姆打烊的时候来说。 but take last night when Tim and l closed up.
我关了灯，发现他站在黑暗的门口 l turned the lights off and l spotted him in the dark of a doorway,
他就站在那里，好像在等一个心里不好的人。 just standing there like he was waiting for someone with no good in his mind.
Fair让我浑身起鸡皮疙瘩。 Fair gave me the creeps.
继续。 Go on.
就是这样。你觉得他想干什么? That's it. What do you suppose he's up to?
女人在街上不安全了，你在报纸上读到的那些都不安全。 A woman isn't safe on the streets any more, not with all you read in the papers.
吃你的晚餐吧，亲爱的。 Eat your supper, love.
托尼，接电话。 Tony, pick up the phone.
托尼,很快。你要知道我没有撒谎。 Tony, quickly. You've got to know l wasn't lying.
是的。是的，我还在这里。 Yes. Yes, l'm still here.
如果我上次打电话给你让你感到不好意思 Sorry if l caused you embarrassment he last time l phoned,
但我知道那不是你的声音 but l knew that wasn't your voice.
我还能做什么呢? What else could l do?
你在吗，普雷斯顿夫人? Are you there, Mrs Preston?
你不会去威尼斯了。 You won't be going to Venice.
我们有约会的，记得吗? We have an appointment, remember?
哦,亲爱的。我能说什么呢?你能原谅我吗? Oh, darling. What can l say? Can you ever forgive me?
那现在不重要了。 That isn't important now.
在他被关起来之前你是不安全的。 You won't be safe until he's locked away.
他是怎么知道威尼斯的? How did he know about Venice?
他似乎什么都知道。 He seems to know about everything.
你觉得他知道会议的事吗? Do you think he knows about the meeting?
可能。这不是秘密。 Probably. Lt was no secret.
也许他说的约会就是这个意思。 Maybe that's what he meant about the appointment.
他可能在等你离开。 He could be waiting for you to leave.
亲爱的，我现在不会离开你。 Darling, l won't leave you now.
-我们该怎么办?-我不知道。 - What are we going to do? - l don't know.
第一件事是给检查员打电话。 The first thing is to ring the inspector.
请找伯恩斯探长。 lnspector Byrnes, please.
lnspector吗?安东尼·普雷斯顿。 lnspector? Anthony Preston.
是的。关于我们的朋友。他刚才又打来了。 Yes. About our friend. He's just called again.
不，不完全一样，探长。这次我也听到了。 No, not quite the same, lnspector. This time l heard him, too.
我想他打算今晚行动。 l think he intends to make his move tonight.
还好他后来没打电话来，不然我要去开会了。 lt's a good thing he didn't ring later - l'd have been on my way to a meeting.
是的，我想他知道。 Yes, l think he did know.
是的。我听。 Yes. l'm listening.
这是个主意，但我不知道。除非她同意。 lt's an idea, but l don't know. Not unless she agrees.
我没有权利要求。期待太多了。 l don't have the right to ask. lt's a lot to expect.
是的，我想是的。 Yes, l suppose so.
他想让我做什么? What does he want me to do?
你能一个人在这儿待一两分钟吗? Can you stay here by yourself for a minute or two?
但是为什么呢，托尼?我不明白。 But why, Tony? l don't understand.
他想让那个人看着我走——离开大楼，钻进车里，然后开车离开。 He wants the man to see me go - leave the building, get into the car and drive away.
哦，不，托尼。不。 Oh, no, Tony. No.
我把车开到拐角处，把车停好，从后门过来。 I’ll drive round the corner, park and come up the rear entrance.
-我很快就回来。-别让我这么做，托尼。 - I’ll be back before you know it. - Don't ask me to do it, Tony.
探长会把警察叫到楼下。他没有机会了。 The inspector will have the police downstairs. He won't have a chance.
这是唯一的办法。 lt's the only way.
好吧。好吧。 All right. All right.
好的，探长。你要去多久? All right, lnspector. How long will you be?
我将在两分钟后离开这里。 I’ll leave here in exactly two minutes.
给我倒杯酒，亲爱的。我马上就回来。 Freshen my drink, darling. I’ll be right back.
-你最好拿着这个。-这才是我的女孩。 - You'd better take this. - That's my girl.
跟我走。我马上就回来。 Bolt this after me. I’ll be right back.
基特，开门! Kit, open up!
哦。 Oh.
回答。如果是我们的朋友，让他知道你是一个人。 Answer it. lf it's our friend, let him know you're alone.
接电话吧。 Go on, answer it.
你好。 Hello.
是的，我在听。 Yes, l'm listening.
他看到你离开，就笑了。 He saw you leave and then he laughed.
-他还说了什么?-一样的…相同的。 - What else did he say? - The same... The same.
露台。他可能是从隔壁楼来的。 The terrace. He could come from the building next door.
把灯熄了。 Put out the lights.
(声音)我是来赴约的，普雷斯顿夫人。 (Voice) l've come to keep our appointment, Mrs Preston.
每个人都会理解的。 你已经承受太多了。 Everyone will understand. lt's all been too much for you.
托尼? Tony?
你的大脑再也无法承受了。 Your mind couldn't take it any more.
你从阳台上跳下去了… 在我的帮助下。 You threw yourself over the terrace... with a little help from me.
托尼? Tony?
(声音)尖叫对你没有任何好处，普雷斯顿夫人。 (Voice) Lt won't do you any good to scream, Mrs Preston.
你是出了名的歇斯底里。 You're a known hysteric.
你尖叫着，我试图把你拉回来 但是你挣脱了我的紧握 You screamed and l tried to pull you back but you twisted out of my grasp
你摔倒了。 and you fell.
然后一切都结束了，普雷斯顿夫人。 And then it was all over, Mrs Preston.
哦,托尼。哦，谢天谢地。 Oh, Tony. Oh, thank God.
我们都会在人生的某个地方遇到死亡 。 We all meet death somewhere along the way.
他就是这么做的。 So that's how he did it.
所有场合的录音。 Recordings for all occasions.
托尼，是同一个人，刚才在这里的那个。 Tony, it's the same man - the one who was here.
我得说，他来的时机不对。 Timed his visit badly, l must say.
警察……他们为什么不在这里? The police... Why aren't they here?
如果我是你，我不会那么做的，基特。 l wouldn't do that if l were you, Kit.
但他们现在应该到了。 But they should have been here by now.
恐怕他们根本就不会来了。 l'm afraid they won't be here at all.
为什么不呢? Why not?
我没有给他们打电话。 l didn't phone them.
你和探长谈过了。 You talked to the inspector.
那不是探长。是一个女孩给了我正确的时间。 That wasn't the inspector. Lt was a girl who gave me the correct time.
每隔10秒。 Ln ten second intervals.
