Scene V(The jury brings in a verdict of not guilty. Leonard Vole is released. Everyone leaves the courtroom. Sir Wilfried is still sitting in his place. He is not satisfied. Christine enters.) Christine: Well, let me tell you something, Sir Wilfried. It's not only you who saved Leonard's life. We did it. Sir Wilfried: We? Christine: I had the idea that I should be a witness not for my husband, but for the prosecution. The problem was whether you would believe me. It was I who sold these letters to you. There never was a Max. There's never been anyone but Leonard. Sir Wilfried: And you know he was innocent? Christine: No. I knew he was guilty. He did have blood on his sleeves. He did tell me he had killed the woman. Only I could save him... Sir Wilfried: And you saved him. A murderer? Christine: You don't understand. I love him. (Vole comes in.) Vole: (to Sir Wilfried) She fooled you completely, didn't she? Sir Wilfried: It was you, Vole, who fooled me! (Suddenly a girl runs up to Vole and they embrace.) Christine: Leonard, who's this girl? Girl: I'm not this girl, I am his girl! Tell her Len! We've been going together for months and we're going away. Christine: You can't, Leonard! Not after what I've done! I won't let you. Vole: Don't be silly. I saved your life getting you out of Germany, you saved me. So we're even. It's all over now. Christine: Don't Leonard! Don't leave me! Don't! Vole: Pull yourself together4. They'll only try you for perjury. Christine: I don't care! Let them! Let them try me for perjury or... (on the table she sees the knife that was exhibited as evidence in the case)... or better yet... Let them try me for this! (Snatches the knife, runs up to Vole and thrusts it into his chest. Vole falls down.) Voices: What's happened? SirWilfried: She's killed him. Oh, no! She's executed him.
