Ellen Wheeler: [into the phone] Inspector Walker? Why didn't you come? Yes... I know. I have something to tell... Yes... I'm leaving in a few minutes. Inspector... there are two dead bodies in that old building. A man and a woman sitting side by side with their throats... cut. Yes, I know... but you must believe me this time. Won't you inspect that house just once more? Well... then send someone else over...
[Ellen gasps as a loud click is heard and then a dial tone. She hangs up the phone]
Ellen Wheeler: [breaking character; sinister tone] Heh, I always thought you would say that.
[Appleby enters applauding]
Appleby: Bravo. Bravo! Superb! Superb performance. Well... that's it then. Your plan complete in every last detail. Pity you also had to include my Burhams.
Ellen Wheeler: Sorry about that.
