Julie visits the house the following morning. Soon after, Inspector Crowe and Detective Ames arrive to further question Baines. Julie attempts to leave, but, upon being introduced as Baines's secretary, the police ask that she stay to transcribe his interview. Crow and Ames first interview Philippe alone, and he lies about Mrs. Baines slapping him, and denies that Julie ever visited the house. Julie overhears Philippe concealing the truth, and, speaking French, implores him to be honest. Baines interjects, and proceeds to recount to police what actually happened the night before. They continue to disbelieve him, and suggest he make a formal statement.
