DONOHUE (turning to ROSALIE C.). You know! Who was it?

ROSALIE. I cannot tell you yet. (DONOHUE laughs. WILLIAM goes to HELEN.) But I will! I will!

DONOHUE. Telling's not enough. There's just one thing that will convince me that she didn't kill Spencer Lee.

WILLIAM (down E.). What, Inspector, what?

DONOHUE. The confession of the one who did. (He turns to ROSALIE.) Bring me that and I'll set your daughter free.

ROSALIE (C.). Inspector, give me a chance. Do not arrest my little girl. Give me time. I do know who 'as done it and I will get for you what you want.

DONOHUE (L.C.). Nonsense!

ROSALIE (moves up to INSPECTOR). Give me one hour, sir. Keep them all here one hour more.

DONOHUE. No.

WILLIAM (in front of table R.). Give her a chance. We are all here—no one will get away. What difference will a few minutes make?
