Joe Haskell walks in; the frightened Adam knocks him down and runs out the door. Joe asks Sam about what happened and Sam tells him that he's been helping Adam for the past few days-with Maggie gone, there's been no one for him to talk to. (seriously, who leaves a blind man alone?) Joe tells Sam that's no ordinary man, his face looks like it's been through a meat grinder-he knocked me down like a feather, and I'm no lightweight-what if this guy is an escaped murderer? Sam assures Joe the two of them got along well-in his own ways, he's as handicapped as I am-I sensed an innocence about him. Joe tells Sam this man and the guy who kidnapped Carolyn Stoddard may be one and the same.I already figured that out, says Sam, which appalls Joe-why didn't you call the police? Adam saved Carolyn's life, says Sam, he isn't dangerous, he needs friendship and understanding.
They all go into the drawing room--sit down, offers Flora. Only Kendrick sits, and asks, Mrs. Collins, tell me the truth now--all of it. That implies I didn't tell you the truth before, says Flora. I'm sorry, says Kendrick, but that is what I suspect. Melanie listens intently. I know your sister's death has come as a great shock to you, says Flora, but I have just lost my husband, and I don't feel this is the time to discuss the matter. When you hear where we found Stella, says Gerard, I'm sure you will understand we cannot believe the stories you told Mr. Young--Stella's grave was found in the woods, on this estate! Melanie busts into tears. This is too much for Melanie, protests Flora--we'll have to discuss this some other time. Stella! sobs Melanie. Kendrick rises--Melanie, I'm so sorry it had to happen this way, he says--I wish I could have made it easier for you. Please stop! begs Melanie, crying, moving away from him.
