Telling's not enough. There's just one thing that will convince
me that she didn't kill Spencer Lee.
WILLIAM (_down_ E.). What, Inspector, what?
DONOHUE. The confession of the one who did. (_He turns to_ ROSALIE.)
Bring me that and I'll set your daughter free.
ROSALIE (C.). Inspector, give me a chance. Do not arrest my little girl.
Give me time. I do know who 'as done it and I will get for you what you
want.
DONOHUE (L.C.). Nonsense!
ROSALIE (_moves up to_ INSPECTOR). Give me one hour, sir. Keep them all
here one hour more.
DONOHUE. No.
WILLIAM (_in front of table_ R.). Give her a chance. We are all here--no
one will get away. What difference will a few minutes make?
(_There is a pause_. DONOHUE _takes out his watch and looks at it_.)
DONOHUE. I'll give her ten minutes. Mike, tell Doolan again to arrest
anyone trying to leave the house, and get on the front door yourself and
stay there until I tell you. (DUNN _turns and exits at_ L.) You've got
just ten minutes.
(_He follows_ DUNN _off_ L.)
ROSALIE. Ten minutes! Ten minutes!
(WILLIAM _crosses to door_ L. _and closes it_.)
WILLIAM (L.C.). Why didn't you _tell_ who did it?
ROSALIE (C.). How could I? I 'ave no idea in the world. But I am going
to find out. I am going to find out.
HELEN (B.C.). But how, mother, how?
ROSALIE.
