00:00Please, will you take me to a hospital?
00:06Pleasure.
00:07Where to?
00:08Oh, no.
00:09No, thank you.
00:10But you stopped me and I want to talk to you.
00:11Do get in.
00:12Yes, but I don't want to talk to you.
00:13Stop!
00:14Stop!
00:15All right, lady.
00:16Where's the one she brought?
00:17The nearest police station.
00:18Oh.
00:19Officer.
00:20What?
00:21Oh, something terrible's happened.
00:22Something awful.
00:23If it's ration troubles, you go to the food office.
00:24Oh, but it's not.
00:25Well, what did you lose?
00:26I didn't.
00:27I found it.
00:28What, a parachutist?
00:29Oh, no, no.
00:30Don't be silly.
00:31No.
00:32A body.
00:33A ooze.
00:34I don't know.
00:35It was dead.
00:36Oh, accident or natural causes?
00:37Murder.
00:38Not murder.
00:39Murder.
00:40Murder.
00:41Murder.
00:42Murder.
00:43Murder.
00:44Murder.
00:45Murder.
00:46Murder.
00:47Murder.
00:48Not murder.
00:49Well, I...
00:50Well, we'll do something.
00:51It is kind of unusual around here, you know.
00:52But say, you're in luck today.
00:53Detective Inspector Burruss is here from headquarters.
00:54You can tell him all about it.
00:55Officer.
00:56Officer.
00:57Do you know that man?
00:58Can't say I do.
00:59I think he is the murderer.
01:00Oh?
01:01You'd better arrest him.
01:02It's all right.
01:03Now, wait.
01:04Wait.
01:05Wait.
01:06Wait.
01:07Wait.
01:08Wait.
01:09Wait.
01:10Wait.
01:11Wait.
01:12Wait.
01:13Wait.
01:14Wait.
01:15Wait.
01:16Wait.
01:17It's all right.
01:18Now, wait.
01:20Good.
01:22Take a seat, ma'am.
01:23Oh.
01:26You leave me alone?
01:27I've got to talk to you before you tell the police.
01:29Tell them what?
01:30Whatever you're going to tell them.
01:31Oh, so you're trying to intimidate me, are you?
01:38Good morning, miss.
01:39Morning.
01:41Now, about this murder.
01:42You didn't know the victim?
01:43No.
01:44Where did you find the body?
01:45In the bedroom.
01:46In the bedroom.
01:47Yours?
01:48Oh, no.
01:49I don't know.
01:50One of my uncles, probably.
01:51It's their house, Orchard Cottage.
01:52What she was doing there, I have no idea.
01:53The victim's a woman?
01:54Mm, a girl.
01:55Can you describe her?
01:56Oh, yes.
01:57She was dark.
01:58Very dark, in fact.
01:59And quite young, too, I should think.
02:00Oh, and she had a bracelet with curious dangling charms on it.
02:03Of course, I couldn't tell how tall she was or anything like that.
02:06Anything else?
02:07Afraid not.
02:08Well, what do you want?
02:09I came here to ask about someone who seems to have disappeared.
02:11Huh?
02:12So this young lady's description exactly fits the person I'm looking for.
02:14Interesting coincidence.
02:15It's nonsense.
02:16He came out of the house just before I went in and found the body.
02:19But I was only there a minute before she arrived.
02:21And you stayed in the cottage all night.
02:23You did?
02:24With a dead girl?
02:25And why didn't you report the murder right away?
02:27Well, well, I, I was afraid.
02:29Of what?
02:30The murderer.
02:31Of him.
02:32Ridiculous.
02:33What were you doing at the cottage?
02:34I was looking for Mary.
02:35Mary?
02:36Who?
02:37Well, um, just Mary is what I'm concerned.
02:39Hmm.
02:40I suppose you do know there is a dead girl.
02:42I do, but I don't.
02:43I don't.
02:44All right, all right.
02:45I'll want to question you both later.
02:47After we view the remains of the scene of the crime.
02:49Come along, son.
02:50You better come too.
02:51Tell Higgins to take over.
02:52What's the name of this place?
02:53Orchard Cottage, sir.
02:54Orchard Cottage, sir.
