- In the car, Judy starts to get nervous and wonders where they're going.
- Scottie doesn't say anything until they arrive at the Mission San Juan Bautista.
- Judy starts freaking out and asks where they are and why.
- Over her protests, he gets her out of the car and pushes her into the Mission and up the stairs of the bell tower. She's terrified.
- As he hauls her up the stairs, Scottie forces Judy to confess.
- He now knows what we knew after the flashback: that Judy had played Madeleine all along and faked "those beautiful phony trances."
- Elster taught Judy how to act just like Madeleine. The whole thing was a plot to get Scottie to witness Madeleine's "suicide."
- Judy tells him that the real Madeleine was already dead when Elster threw her off the tower; he'd broken her neck.
- Why did they choose Scottie?
- Judy said it was because of his "accident." Elster had heard about it and knew his vertigo would keep him from saving Madeleine.
- Judy tells him that Elster escaped to Switzerland after the murder.
- Judy thinks Scottie won't make it to the top of the bell-tower, but he does. He gets a little dizzy on the way but makes it to the top. He seems to have finally conquered his fear of heights.
- Judy tells Scottie that she still loves him and begs him to keep her safe.
- Scottie says that it's "too late," because there's "no bringing her [Madeleine] back."
- They kiss passionately for the (spoiler alert) last time.
- A nun, having heard the voices from the tower, comes up the stairs. Judy lets out a scream and falls to her death.
- Just like Madeleine.
- Scottie's in shock.
- In the film's final image, we see him staring down at Judy, totally helpless and stunned.
- The music swells and that's it.
