Quote context

[...]

- And what was your role in all this?

- I was a victim, too. At least, my wife was. She had friends who were socialists.

- Oh my God.

- Well, we all make mistakes.

- Mr. Boddy threatened to give my wife's name to the House Un-American Activities Committee unless she named them. She refused, so he blackmailed her.

- We had no money. And the price of his silence was that we work for him for nothing. We were slaves.

- Well, to make a long story short...

- Too late.

- The suicide of my wife preyed on my mind and created a sense of injustice in me.

- I resolved to put Mr. Boddy behind bars.

- It seemed to me the best way to do it and to free all of you from the same burden of blackmail was to get everyone face to face, confront Mr. Boddy with his crimes, and then turn him over to the police.

- So, everything's explained.

- Nothing's explained. We still don't know who killed him.
