Who does Gavin mean when he says "you and I know who killed Madeleine"?
After Watching
Read the following account of the last part of the scene and explain what is meant by the underlined words:
Although foul play is discounted, the coroner presents the jury with a final conclusion while verbally criticizing Scottie. The jury quickly reaches a decision - "The jury finds that Madeleine Elster committed suicide while of unsound mind." Following the inquest, Elster apologizes for the harshwords of the coroner and consoles Scottie after the verdict:
"Sorry Scottie, that was rotten. He had no right to speak to you like that. It was my responsibility. I shouldn't have got you involved. No, there's nothing you have to say to me. I'm getting out Scottie, for good. I can't stay here. I'm going to wind up her affairs, and mine, and get away as far as I can. Europe perhaps. I probably never will come back. Goodbye, Scottie."
