changes remarkably Wow well you see sir andrew has been boarding up at her house

all the time he's been here aside from the time he spent up in the hills on his anthropology work

I said ma'am apart from being sir he really is quite somebody isn't he oh yes

he's a it's a very famous man international honours the whole works it's what we sensed about him that's

what we admired most I think his modesty has made all the difference in the world

oh Emily you know don't tell me she's finally let her hair down brainstorm and

we're all dreadfully pleased for Emily there we are a petite long how does it

read sorry oh what a pity anyway I'm the great one for dunking aren't you

Oh Adam it's wonderful to see you I just don't believe the healer

the same thing that happens all nurses what we're really pleased about it you

have no idea how lonely Emily really is oh I've seen Emily Forbes a hundred times around the island

once upon a time grandfather came out from England as a missionary of all the

prestige in the world and Papa sentimentalized the position after the old man died along comes ending trapped

by the past afraid of the future no longer a night has come to her on a white charger and the future looks very

bright for us

then he married Arthur and returned to England said his scientific affairs he's coming back here you know right come

here [Music]

what in thunderation [Music]

[Music]

hey Roberta Jen Emma [Music]

be lovely

hey Emily there's something I have to

it's about Sir Andrew Andrew why Andrews up in the hills he's got word down last night by his

native companion decide to spend the night because of the rain no he's outside

anyways it would be better decided to black

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

sorry you remember Adam Adam Troy of course yes of course how are you erect fine all the wives are

over with Laura at Emily's she's in a terrible condition of shock yeah I can well imagine

in charge of things until they here sometime tonight good Laura and I have taken the things

house around was pockets [Music]

last night Sir Andrew must have gone past the pits and had a wild boar

trapped in one of them I still going to take a look and got too close to the

edge I suppose yes a man doesn't jump down into a pit with a wild boar down in it what about these

pits how do they work Meadows the only ones uses them that's right he sells at us to the natives they

place great value on them what he does is he finds a watering-place and he

builds a fence around it and in this fence serves three or four breaks so that the wild boar can pass through and

get to the water didn't these breaks you digs a deep pit so and over the pit he

lays a kind of camouflage false cover of twigs broken branches then a layer of

dirt I see Dennis the boar passes through the opening he crashes through

the false cover and traps and stuff in the pit yes that's right why didn't Hoch I'm done with the body

must be two years since you were last here isn't it heaven just about old Ned and his wife arrived two years ago right

from the start no one liked him least of all the natives very surly doorman with a devil in his heart who ordered us in

the natives as he would the plague well what about his wife she arrived with a parasol silk dress white that wasn't all

that rot the woman's a sorceress a masquerade right away Emily especially a French

woman originally from Tahiti Emily wouldn't have her down here well I can't say I

really blame her so the home's moved up into the bush well whether he likes it or not

I'd love to be here tonight to talk to the commissioner he won't come we'll make him will you show me where I lived

read certainly but I'd like to stop in and see how Emily is first it's all right sure

have either of you ever actually scenes made by a wild boar before this I mean

yes yes I have where they like those

exactly like why do you ask just curious

what Oh tell me Fred

the natives like Sir Andrew like him they worshipped him [Music]

used to be my life [Music] all the life I'd dreamed of

[Music] Oh Stingo

place is my home and I've never seen accepted a very small child son I can

dress what grandpa talked about [Music]

[Music]

[Music] let's try yes I would like to have

something remember Andrew buy something I made for him company carried on him

always we have all this personal effects at Fred store I'm sure the authorities

will let you keep whatever you like a little money pouch I made for him out of

Mama's Paisley sure I'd like to keep that they have everything that was taken

out of his pockets there was no money pouch time put it in his pocket

yesterday noon before I went up into the hills

you might say you took Molly with him up into the hills well the first will

probably turn up I hope so I'd like to have it if I may

[Music]

both natives have brought surround respond a town where they have Robin robbed him why they honored him be like

Robbie one of their own Chiefs and I think the sooner we talk to Ned hopefully better

[Music] and they have came from me I took the g*n I went with him to the pit I shot

the boar then I brought the dead man up then the native went to the mountain village back there to bring back the others and they took the body down I

didn't go down with them well it's no affair mine the chap belly that's too bad but it's no affair of

mine are you sure he fell in what do you mean

mr. Hong the police commissioner will be arriving from Matthew tonight what's that to do with me

we want you in frets or to answer any questions you might have like life when you took surrounds were

out on a pitch did you examine him well of course and white was slashed to ribbons in his pockets when he went into

the hills he was carrying a money pouch and the body was brought back down the Patras gone

I see you be there in Fred's store tonight let's go Fred

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

better get him out of here all right the shiny I start down the over them

[Music]

I tell you until I saw him down that pit

I never set eyes on the man before then why don't you try to run away hardly what an innocent man would do hey Hoke I

never saw a man before

[Music] tolerance is all the way several yards

be a milega we should come back this is

no place for you must hop to it Laura

what's she doing here it seems to me Adam she has more right here anyone else

sister joy I've come to beg the answer to one question of Ned Hogue one question only I'm sure the police

commissioner will ask all the questions we need answered miss works this m*rder concerns me more than it does the police

commissioner mr. try we have no proof that a murders been committed miss Forbes I loved Andrew y'all did surely it's our

right to question Ned Hoke as long as he goes on like that the worse it looks to the mayor that is they'll hate you for

standing in her way they won't understand why anyone would side with scamp against Emily let's see what's come in son all right

mr. Hoge if there's any fear of eternal hell in your heart he will answer me

truthfully early this morning Surendra pitchman stopped by your mountain shanty perhaps

to ask directions no he must have he must have asked you to guide him he took out a money pouch offered to pay you

nobody stopped at my place after you saw how much money there was he went with

you you came to the traffic in one of the pits with a wild boar Andra wanted

to see you went with him to the pits edge while he looked down you moved up

behind him you took out your knife you stand him

morning did a man an Englishman stop by your house in the mountains

[Music]

[Music]

it isn't true she lied she never saw the man because there was no man

stay with him Fred fire

stand by the door with your friend right

I know you won't believe me but the first time that I set eyes on him was

when the native came for me and we went to the pit and there he was dead why would your wife lie she'd seen me

hanging for all she cares why

I met her over at panco before we came here the government there was about to

deport her and we both thought that or someplace here that'd be another chance

and living up there in the bush trapped together like that you can get to hate

one another I wish one another dead what

I suppose that I turn you against me like that she expects to gain back some

I don't know respect I suppose we're

standing I don't blame her now in a way I pity her why'd you run away I have my

reason whatever it is it doesn't look too good for you

he's coming back with some natives

[Music] that's the high chief with him

some of the men they stopped me on the trail what for they say the authorities from anthea will be too easy on him well they're not

the authorities they say they had the right they had made Surendra chief it is for them to avenge the death of their

chief who brought so much happiness to Emily send them away go very well for you to say that Adam you don't have to
