00:00:00["Pomp and Circumstance"]
00:00:30["Pomp and Circumstance"]
00:00:41Bobby's disappeared.
00:00:43Your friend Bobby Jehens, alias Hawkins.
00:00:45And Moira's vanished.
00:00:46Moira?
00:00:47Why, sure, Nicholson knows where she is.
00:00:50Bobby thought it would be easier to keep an eye on the Grange from a hotel in Ambledove.
00:00:55He registered on Wednesday evening.
00:00:57I sent him a wire to say that I'd look in on him on the way down to the inquest and the wire was there. He wasn't.
00:01:03Landlord said he'd gone out for a breath of fresh air that first night and hasn't been seen since.
00:01:08Well, perhaps he was on the train or something.
00:01:11No.
00:01:12Moved on. Didn't have time to explain.
00:01:14Leaving all his things behind?
00:01:16Did you bring them with you?
00:01:18I didn't think.
00:01:19Should I have?
00:01:20Well, there might have been something, some clue.
00:01:24You think I'm silly to worry you.
00:01:26I don't think you're silly.
00:01:27I don't like the sound of it either.
00:01:30You asked me to let you know when the coroner arrived, sir.
00:01:33Yes, thank you, Ross.
00:01:35We'd better go through.
00:01:42Suicide while of unsound mind.
00:01:45You don't think it was?
00:01:46Do you?
00:01:47I think we were most fortunate to have Dr Davidson as coroner.
00:01:51He was both tactful and considerate.
00:01:53Everything went off perfectly.
00:01:55Almost too perfectly, wouldn't you say?
00:01:57Like a good stage performance.
00:01:59I think I know how Lady Frances feels.
00:02:02My brother was murdered, Dr Nicholson.
00:02:04I mean it.
00:02:06The law may not regard it as such, but murder it was.
00:02:09Whoever induced my brother to become a slave to that drug murdered him.
00:02:13As surely as if they'd struck him down.
00:02:16To induce a man to take drugs is indeed a most terrible crime.
00:02:21You came down by car, Lady Frances.
00:02:24No accidents this time, I hope.
00:02:25No.
00:02:27No, I think it's a pity to go in too much for accidents, don't you?
00:02:30Perhaps your chauffeur drove you.
00:02:32My chauffeur's disappeared.
00:02:34Indeed?
00:02:35He was last seen heading for the Grange.
00:02:38Perhaps you've been paying too much attention to local gossip, Lady Frances.
00:02:41I myself have heard the wildest stories.
00:02:44For instance, that my wife and your chauffeur
00:02:47have been seen talking together down by the lake.
00:02:50Haven't you heard from your wife yet?
00:02:53Not yet, Lady Frances.
00:02:55Aren't you at all worried about her?
00:02:57Not as much as you seem to be about the disappearance of your chauffeur.
00:03:01Frankie, these just came for you.
00:03:03Thank you for coming.
00:03:04Are you sure you're all right?
00:03:05Oh, I'm fine.
00:03:07But how I would have managed without Jasper, I just don't know.
00:03:09Though everyone's been most wonderfully kind.
00:03:11Sylvia, I really must be going now.
00:03:12Of course.
00:03:20Thank you, Sylvia.
00:03:22Excuse me.
00:03:30Dear Frankie, I'm on the trail at last.
00:03:33Follow me as soon as possible to Chipping Somerton.
00:03:36You'd better come by train and not by car.
00:03:38The Bentley's too noticeable.
00:03:40You're to come to a house called Tudor Cottage.
00:03:43I'll air the directions for finding it below.
00:03:45Don't tell anyone where you're going
00:03:47because the deeper we get into this, the more sure I am
00:03:49there's no one at Stavely we can trust.
00:03:51No one.
00:03:53I know it's grim, but you've got to believe me.
00:03:56Yours ever, Bobby.
00:03:59Interesting.
00:04:01Not really.
00:04:03You'll stay to lunch.
00:04:05I must be off.
00:04:06I've hardly seen you.
00:04:08There'll be other times.
00:04:10Oh, Roger, would you do me a favour?
00:04:12The Bentley's making a funny ticking noise
00:04:15and I can't possibly cope with it breaking down on my own.
00:04:17Would you mind if I left it here?
00:04:19No, not in the least.
00:04:20Providing you let me drive you to the station.
00:04:22And don't worry too much about Bobby.
00:04:24Perhaps he's gone to London.
00:04:47Turn right out of the station, away from the village.
00:05:07This is the track that will take you to the cottage.
00:05:17When you can see the cottage, hoot like an owl.
00:05:43Twice.
00:05:44I'll be waiting.
00:06:14Bobby!
00:06:43Bobby!
00:06:44Oh, Bobby!
00:06:58Bobby.
00:07:01Bobby.
00:07:10Bobby.
00:07:15Come.
00:07:22Frankie.
00:07:24Oh, we've been here for months, haven't we?
00:07:26How did they get you?
00:07:28Was it after you wrote that letter?
00:07:29What letter?
00:07:30You know, telling me how to get here.
00:07:32I never wrote you a letter.
00:07:34Frankie, you didn't.
00:07:36Oh, but I did.
00:07:39Honestly, it sounded exactly like you.
00:07:41Even used the word grim.
00:07:43Grim?
00:07:44What's that got to do with it?
00:07:45Well, you're always using it.
00:07:47No, I'm not.
00:07:49Even all that about not telling a soul made a ghastly sort of sense.
00:07:58Oh, chloroform.
00:08:00Oh, it did make me feel sick.
00:08:02Chloroform?
00:08:03That's how they got me.
00:08:05How did they get you?
00:08:07I wanted to have a look at the Grange after dark to try to find Moira.
00:08:11I nearly brought it off, too,
00:08:13when somebody must have crept up behind me and given me the most tremendous wham.
00:08:17I went out like a light.
00:08:18Nicholson, I'll bet.
00:08:19Sort of underhand thing he would do.
00:08:21No, no, it couldn't have been Nicholson.
00:08:23I'd heard him calling from the house only a few seconds before.
00:08:26Whenever we think it's him, he's always somewhere else.
00:08:28Well, anyway, whoever it was, why just knock me out?
00:08:31Well, it would have been terribly easy to finish me off.
00:08:34I didn't think Nicholson would stick at a thing like that.
00:08:36For the same reason as before.
00:08:38They've got to make it look like an accident.
00:08:41You don't mean they're going to have another go at me?
00:08:45What day is it?
00:08:47Friday.
00:08:49I was knocked out on Wednesday.
00:08:52Dash it all, I've been pretty well unconscious for two and a half days.
00:08:56I wonder how much morphia they used this time.
00:08:58Oh, don't start that again.
00:09:00I must be pretty well bunged full of the stuff by now.
00:09:04Frankie, you don't think I'm going to end up like poor old Henry, do you?
00:09:09Look, I think there's every possibility we're both going to end up like poor old Henry, dead.
00:09:18Too bad I won't be able to use all that information I got from Mr Sprague.
00:09:22Or the real Mr Sprague.
00:09:26He told me...
00:09:28John Savage committed suicide having made a new will
00:09:31leaving 700,000 pounds to a woman he met on board ship.
00:09:35Mrs Emily Templeton, married to Edgar Templeton of Tudor Cottage, Jimmy Somerton.
00:09:40Here?
00:09:41Here.
00:09:43By Jove.
00:09:45So do you think it's the Templetons who've got us?
00:09:48Apparently they're in the south of France enjoying her ill-gotten gains.
00:09:51Oh.
00:09:53And, er... Moira?
00:09:57She's still missing.
00:09:59Yet that brute has laid a finger on her.
00:10:02Frankie, we've got to get out of here. For her sake.
00:10:05I'd quite like to get out of here for my own.
00:10:07Let's see if I can undo your hands with my teeth.
00:10:15That was me.
00:10:17Oh, sorry.
00:10:20Oh.
00:10:22Now, now, go on. I'm not making slightest impression.
00:10:25Yes, it's loosening. It's loosening.
00:10:49Unworthy of you, my dear young lady, to fall into such an easy little trap.
00:10:53I knew it was you.
00:10:55And made your suspicions very obvious.
00:10:58Possibly a little too obvious.
00:11:01Wouldn't you say now?
00:11:03At any rate, let me see if you're still comfortable.
00:11:11Up we get.
00:11:13Ah, there now.
00:11:16I trust you won't find this too intolerable?
00:11:20But it will only be for a very short while.
00:11:23What are you going to do to us?
00:11:26You taunted me, Lady Frances, with being too fond of accidents.
00:11:30Maybe I am.
00:11:32At any rate, I am going to risk one more accident.
00:11:37Lady Frances Derwent, her chauffeur beside her, mistake a turning
00:11:41and turn into a disused road, leading to a quarry.
00:11:45The car crashes over the edge.
00:11:48Lady Frances and her chauffeur are killed.
00:11:51Oh, and just to add credibility to the event,
00:11:53it will be made to look as if Lady Frances had most certainly been doing the driving.
00:11:58You can't count on us being killed outright.
00:12:01Oh, I promise you.
00:12:03You can't count on us being killed outright.
00:12:05Oh, I promise you.
00:12:07Both you and Lady Frances will both be quite dead when your bodies are discovered.
00:12:12You're making a big mistake, you know.
00:12:15Especially where Lady Frances is concerned.
00:12:20Yes.
00:12:22Yes.
00:12:24In that very clever letter you forged, you told me to tell nobody.
00:12:28Well, it just so happens I made an exception.
00:12:30I told Roger Basington French.
00:12:33And if anything happens to us, he will know who's responsible.
00:12:40A very good bluff.
00:12:42But I'll call it.
00:12:44What about Moira, your wife, you swine?
00:12:47Have you murdered her too?
00:12:49Moira is still alive.
00:12:52How much longer she will remain alive, I really don't know.
00:13:01You know what annoys me most about this business?
00:13:04What?
00:13:06Being hurtled into the next world without knowing who Evans is.
00:13:09Well, why don't you ask him?
00:13:11You know, this whole last-minute boon.
00:13:13He can't refuse to tell us now, not while we're going to die.
00:13:20Oh, my God.
00:13:22What?
00:13:25That man isn't...
00:13:28That man isn't Nicholson.
00:13:31Frankie...
00:13:34When I told him Roger knew about the letter,
00:13:37he gripped the candle a little more tightly and the light fell on his face.
00:13:40Yes, I can see it now.
00:13:42It should have had a scratch on it and it didn't.
00:13:45One of Nicholson's patients scratched him at the Grange when I was asking about Moira.
00:13:50That man had no mark on him at all.
00:13:53Who is it, then?
00:13:56There's only one person it can be.
00:14:02Roger.
00:14:04Are you sure?
00:14:07He was the only other person in the room
00:14:11when I taunted Nicholson about the accidents.
00:14:18Frankie...
00:14:20You know what this means.
00:14:24It really is all up with us now.
00:14:27Moira's a prisoner.
00:14:30You and I are bound hand and foot.
00:14:33Nobody else has the least idea where we are.
00:14:40B-B-Badger!
00:14:42Bobby!
00:14:43Peter, I can't begin to tell you.
00:14:48Quick, Badger, pull off one of my shoes.
00:14:51Don't try to talk him through, just haul it off anyhow.
00:14:54Now, chuck it down there in the middle of all the glass.
00:14:56Get under the bed, Badger, quickly.
00:15:07Very clever.
00:15:09Extremely acrobatic.
00:15:11How did you manage that, then, I wonder?
00:15:15Perhaps these ropes should be a little bit tighter.
00:15:18Perhaps they should.
00:15:20Houdini, I believe, saw this sort of thing as a challenge.
00:15:23I do hope you won't be so foolish as to make that sort of mistake.
00:15:31I'm sorry I look a little drafty now.
00:15:34You'll have to blame your enterprising chauffeur.
00:15:43Quick, Badger!
00:15:45It's absolutely filthy under there.
00:15:47Have you got a knife?
00:15:48Come, prepare for all this.
00:15:49Look, there's a good chap.
00:15:51Torch?
00:15:52Oh, that'll take him, will you?
00:15:56Matches?
00:15:58We could burn them up, I suppose.
00:15:59Come on, Badger.
00:16:01Penknife!
00:16:03No, no, ladies first.
00:16:05Oh, Badger, whatever rotten things I've said about you in the past, I'm well and truly sorry.
00:16:09Oh, I think my thumbs are going to dribble.
00:16:12At least you get a good look at him.
00:16:14You're absolutely right.
00:16:15No scratches, I can see now.
00:16:17All the same, you have to admit, it's a pretty good performance.
00:16:20Oh, I've got cramps.
00:16:23Oh, how we could ever have thought it was Nicholson.
00:16:26Thought who was what?
00:16:28Our charming friend who's just gone out.
00:16:30I actually thought he was somebody else.
00:16:32Well, that was Roger Bassington French, didn't you know?
00:16:37We know now, but how did you know?
00:16:40Well, I went to Oxford with him.
00:16:44Oh, it's a gloriform. I'm still dreaming.
00:16:46Marvellous actor, but bad hat though.
00:16:50Bad business of outforging his painter's name on a cheque.
00:16:53Old man hushed it up.
00:16:55He was a year or two ahead of me, of course, but I recognise him anyway.
00:16:59Why didn't you tell us you knew him?
00:17:01You never asked me.
00:17:02Come to think of it, you never even mentioned this name.
00:17:04And point of fact, you've been jolly secretive about the whole...
00:17:07Look, what I want to know is what miracle brought you through the skyline.
00:17:10Keep your voices down.
00:17:13Well, you see, after you went off, I got into a bit of a mess.
00:17:17I couldn't pay the bills, so I came to find you to see if you'd lend me a fibre.
00:17:21Oh, Badger.
00:17:22Badger, if we ever get out of this,
00:17:24I'll get Father to give you as many fibres as you want.
00:17:26Well, that's not what friends are for.
00:17:28But how did you find us?
00:17:30By being jolly cunning, that's how.
00:17:32All you told me was Staveley, so I looked it up on the map.
00:17:36I reckoned if I couldn't find you, I'd certainly find the Bentley.
00:17:39And I did.
00:17:41I lived at Merroway Gorge.
00:17:43I found it before I got to...
00:17:45Staveley, actually, outside the...
00:17:48Station Hotel. That's right.
00:17:50A village called...
00:17:51Ambledove.
00:17:52How did you know that?
00:17:53Because that's where I was staying.
00:17:55Well, that's what I thought.
00:17:57Anyway, there are some rugs and things in the back of the car,
00:18:00and nobody about, so I got in,
00:18:02and I pulled the rugs over me,
00:18:04and I was about to give you a surprise of your life when you came out.
00:18:08I did?
00:18:09I thought it was you.
00:18:10You were wearing your chauffeur's uniform.
00:18:12You had a cap jammed down over his head.
00:18:14He was wearing a moustache.
00:18:15He must have got it out of my room at the Station Hotel.
00:18:18Well, he got into the car and drove off
00:18:21when I was just about to spring out and say,
00:18:23got you, when I realised it wasn't you at all.
00:18:27Roger again.
00:18:29I'm sorry.
00:18:30I told him everything, where you were staying,
00:18:32that all your things were still there.
00:18:35It's all my fault.
00:18:37But I was so worried about you.
00:18:40Were you really?
00:18:43Desperately.
00:18:47Don't you want to know what happened next?
00:18:50Oh, yes, yes, of course.
00:18:52Well, finally, we arrived here.
00:18:54He drove the Bentley into the garage.
00:18:56There was a little window, though, and I saw you arrive.
00:18:59I thought you'd come to rescue me, actually.
00:19:01Well, then the chauffeur fellow grabbed you.
00:19:03Well, I'm not a complete fool.
00:19:05I knew something was wrong,
00:19:06but all the downstairs windows are shattered.
00:19:08So then I scaled the drainpipe and found that.
00:19:12And then I slipped.
00:19:14Well, but for you, Badger, my lad,
00:19:16Frankie and I would have been corpses in about an hour's time.
00:19:19Well, now that I've arrived in the nick of time,
00:19:21what do we do next?
00:19:23There's only one thing we can do.
00:19:36Ready, Lady France?
00:19:40Badger!
00:19:42Good evening, Mr. Basington French.
00:19:45Well, well.
00:19:46You will be if I have anything to do with it.
00:19:48Quick, Badger, get him on the bed!
00:19:50Right, all right, then.
00:19:51Please, don't interrupt this.
00:19:53There certainly is.
00:19:55And apart from anything else,
00:19:56it's your turn to find out how jolly uncomfortable it is.
00:19:59Oh, yes.
00:20:01And apart from anything else,
00:20:02it's your turn to find out how jolly uncomfortable it is.
00:20:05How could you?
00:20:07Sorry.
00:20:08You forged that letter from Bobby, didn't you?
00:20:11Yes, I did.
00:20:12Another of my talents.
00:20:13And Bobby?
00:20:15Bobby? Bobby was easy.
00:20:16I got him neatly on the back of the neck with the sandbag, didn't I?
00:20:19All I had to do was drag him out to where my car was waiting,
00:20:22shove him in the diggy and drive him down here.
00:20:24I was back at Merriway the next morning in time to console the grieving widow.
00:20:28Why did you pretend to be Nicholson?
00:20:31Why did I now?
00:20:33Partly, I think, the fun of seeing if I could spoof you both.
00:20:38You were so absolutely certain he was in it up to the neck.
00:20:43You mean he's totally innocent?
00:20:45As a child unborn.
00:20:46But he did draw my attention to that car accident of yours.
00:20:50Made me realise you mightn't be quite the innocent young thing you seem to be.
00:20:56There's something you've got to tell me.
00:20:58Got to?
00:20:59No point not telling me now.
00:21:01And it's been driving me mad with curiosity.
00:21:05Who is Evans?
00:21:12You don't know?
00:21:14You really don't know?
00:21:16Oh, that is very amusing.
00:21:19Just goes to show what a fool one can be.
00:21:22Meaning us?
00:21:23No, no, no, meaning me.
00:21:26Do you know, if you don't know who Evans is, I don't think I'm going to tell you.
00:21:33Roger!
00:21:36So, what are you going to do with me?
00:21:39The police, of course.
00:21:41Quite right, yes. Ring them up, hand me over.
00:21:44The charge will be abduction, I suppose.
00:21:47I shall plead a guilty passion.
00:21:50What about murder?
00:21:52Murder?
00:21:54My dear, you haven't a scrap of evidence.
00:21:58Badger, I think we'd better go and ring the police.
00:22:01Hey, what about, what about...
00:22:03Oh, you'll be all right. I can lock the door.
00:22:07How terribly distrustful of you.
00:22:09By the way, there's a pistol in my pocket, if you'd like it.
00:22:13It's yours, actually.
00:22:16Do be careful, won't you? It's loaded.
00:22:20Right.
00:22:24I'll go first.
00:22:28Frankie, I think you'd better keep between us.
00:22:39Frankie!
00:22:41Straighten my collar for me, would you?
00:22:44One likes to look one's best when meeting the constabulary.
00:22:59Thank you so very much.
00:23:13Right, now quietly.
00:23:15I'm quite sure they're not making a mess of things now.
00:23:19He's a quirked chap, isn't he?
00:23:21Damn good loser.
00:23:23We'd better check this room first.
00:23:25We don't want to be taken in the rear.
00:23:27Look.
00:23:37Smile!
00:23:40Is she...
00:23:42She's still breathing.
00:23:44Only just.
00:23:46She's been drugged. Morphine again, I shouldn't wonder.
00:23:50We'd better get a doctor.
00:23:52Frankie! Frankie, wait!
00:23:54Look, she's your friend. You want her saved or don't you?
00:24:02Probably cut the wires.
00:24:05Oh, good. Doctor first, police second.
00:24:07No, police first. They'll bring a doctor. Here, let me.
00:24:10It's men like you who stop women getting the vote.
00:24:12Operator! Oh, come on!
00:24:14I'm going to see if there's something quick.
00:24:16This is an emergency.
00:24:18Police station, this is an emergency.
00:24:36Not a sausage, not even the wherewithal to make a cup of tea.
00:24:40You know, I don't believe anyone's lived here for months.
00:24:43Open up in the name of the Lord!
00:24:46I never believed they'd really said that.
00:24:50Now, what's all this about, then?
00:24:52And where's my patient? Please, Doctor, this way.
00:24:54Just one moment. Could I have your name, please?
00:24:57I'm Lady Frances Dowd.
00:24:59My father is the Earl of Marchington.
00:25:01Oh, yeah? Now, please, will you come?
00:25:03And I suppose that your father's the Archbishop of Canterbury, then, sir?
00:25:06Oh, no, no, the Vicar of St Stephen's, actually.
00:25:09My name's Bobby Jones, and this is Badger Beedon.
00:25:12And upstairs is a dangerous criminal.
00:25:14Upstairs, sir?
00:25:16Yes, we've got him tied up, actually. He can't escape.
00:25:18This way, please!
00:25:22Don't be too hurry.
00:25:26It's morphine, all right. I'd better get him to a nursing home right away.
00:25:32He's in there.
00:25:40Oh, sorry. Here you are.
00:25:52Sir!
00:25:58Well, sir?
00:26:10Ah, there you are.
00:26:12Don't be so horribly vigorous.
00:26:14Where's Badger?
00:26:16Still asleep. A chambermaid has unsuccessfully called him four times already.
00:26:20Even in London, he has great difficulty in waking before 12.
00:26:23Perhaps he should try running an all-night garage.
00:26:26Oh, how can you?
00:26:28Oh, it must be the sandbagging.
00:26:30Probably broken up adhesions in the brain.
00:26:33Have you phoned the nursing home?
00:26:35Ah, yes.
00:26:37Apparently, Maury's gone to London,
00:26:39to a nursing home place in Queen's Gate.
00:26:41Said she'll feel safer there.
00:26:43She never did have much nerve.
00:26:45Well, anyone might be scared.
00:26:47With a cold-blooded murderer like Roger Basington French loose in the neighbourhood.
00:26:50He doesn't want to murder her. We're the ones he's after.
00:26:53Toast and whipped tea for one, and more toast for you, sir.
00:26:56Ah, thank you.
00:26:59Why do you bring out the maternal in everyone except me?
00:27:04Oh, by the way,
00:27:07what do you make of this?
00:27:10Where did you find it?
00:27:11Last night, at the cottage.
00:27:13It had slipped behind the telephone.
00:27:15Mr. Kane.
00:27:19Excuse me.
00:27:21Do you know who that is?
00:27:23No.
00:27:25Um, well...
00:27:27Well, I've seen the gentleman before, but I can't quite call to mind...
00:27:32Oh, yes, it's the gentleman who had chewed a cottage, Mr. Templeton.
00:27:36They've gone away now, somewhere abroad, I believe.
00:27:39With 700,000 pounds.
00:27:42No wonder they had to get our own casters out of the way.
00:27:45The start of the whole thing must be John Savage's death.
00:27:48Look, I still have the notes I made after looking at his will.
00:27:51The witnesses were...
00:27:54Rose Chudley-Cook and Albert Mere Gardner.
00:27:56They shouldn't be too difficult to find.
00:27:58And then there were the lawyers.
00:28:00Elford and Lee. Very respectable local firm, Mr. Scrags said.
00:28:03Right.
00:28:04But, Rose, you were there when Mr. Savage died, weren't you?
00:28:07Who, ma'am?
00:28:08The gentleman from Tudor Cottage, Mr. Savage.
00:28:11You were there when he died.
00:28:13Who?
00:28:15The man who left Mrs. Templeton all his money.
00:28:18Oh, him! The man there was the inquest on.
00:28:21You remember, Fred? That's right.
00:28:23Used to come and stay quite often, didn't he?
00:28:25Oh, I said that I couldn't say, ma'am.
00:28:27I'd only been there a few weeks.
00:28:29Oh, I thought you were there much longer than that.
00:28:31Oh, that'd be Gladys.
00:28:35Gladys?
00:28:36She was House Parliament. She was there about six months.
00:28:40And there was just the two of you?
00:28:42Yes. She was House Parliament. I was the cook.
00:28:46And you witnessed Mr. Savage's will?
00:28:49Yes. Me and Albert Mere Gardner.
00:28:51I'd never done anything like it before.
00:28:54And I didn't like it, I can tell you.
00:28:56What happened exactly?
00:28:57I beg your pardon, sir?
00:29:00Who called you in to sign your name?
00:29:02Mrs. Templeton, ma'am.
00:29:04She came down to the kitchen and said I was to go outside and get Albert
00:29:08and we were supposed to go upstairs.
00:29:10And there was the poor gentleman sitting up in bed.
00:29:13I'd never seen it before.
00:29:15But he looked ghastly.
00:29:17I said so to you, Fred, didn't I?
00:29:19But Mr. Alfred said it was quite all right.
00:29:21There was nothing to worry about.
00:29:23Just to sign my name where he signed his, which I did,
00:29:26and put cook after it, and the address, and Albert did the same.
00:29:30And I went down to Gladys in the kitchen.
00:29:32All of a tremble.
00:29:34I'd never seen a man look so like death.
00:29:37And Gladys said he'd looked all right the night before.
00:29:41Must have been something in London that upset him.
00:29:44He got up to London early that morning, see?
00:29:47Before anyone was up.
00:29:49And he died when?
00:29:51The very next day as ever is.
00:29:54He shut himself up in his room that night.
00:29:57And when Gladys went up to call him in the morning,
00:30:00he was stiff and dead.
00:30:02And a note by his bed.
00:30:04To the coroner, it said.
00:30:06Well, then there was the inquest and everything,
00:30:08and Mrs. Templeton went abroad,
00:30:10and she got me a very nice place up north to live.
00:30:13Nice lady, Mrs. Templeton.
00:30:16Pretty, too.
00:30:21Thank you, Mrs. Pratt.
00:30:22Good afternoon to you, miss, and to you, young gentleman.
00:30:25And I hope you'll both be as happy as what me and Fred is.
00:30:33I'll catch you up, Fred.
00:30:35Mrs. Pratt, there was just one other thing.
00:30:42I found him.
00:30:44Pity he can't talk.
00:30:46Why?
00:30:47He might have told us the answer to the one thing that's still puzzling me.
00:30:50Why Mrs. Templeton send for the gardener to witness the will
00:30:53when the house parlor maid was there all the time?
00:30:56Why didn't they ask the parlor maid?
00:30:58It's odd you're saying that.
00:30:59Why?
00:31:00Because that's why I went back.
00:31:02To ask Gladys' name and address.
00:31:04Well?
00:31:05The parlor maid's name was Evans.
00:31:08You've just asked the same question that poor old Allan Carstairs asked
00:31:11after he was pushed off the cliff.
00:31:13Why didn't they ask the parlor maid?
00:31:15Why didn't they ask Evans?
00:31:18Bobby, we're getting there at last.
00:31:20Carstairs must have been nosing around
00:31:22just as we are looking for something fishy
00:31:24and the same point struck him too.
00:31:26That's why he went to Wales.
00:31:28Gladys Evans is a Welsh name.
00:31:30Evans was probably a Welsh girl.
00:31:33He was following her.
00:31:35Someone was following him and so he never got to her.
00:31:38All right.
00:31:39So why didn't they ask Evans?
00:31:41With a couple of female staff in the house,
00:31:43why send for the gardener?
00:31:46Perhaps because both Rose and Albert were chumps.
00:31:48Bobby.
00:31:50Sorry, Albert.
00:31:51Whereas Evans may have been rather a sharp girl.
00:31:54It can't only be that.
00:31:56Mr. Alfred was there too and he's shrewd enough.
00:31:59Oh, the answer's so close.
00:32:01Evans.
00:32:02Why Rose and Albert, not Evans?
00:32:08I'm getting it.
00:32:10Just a sort of flicker.
00:32:13Bobby.
00:32:16If you're in a house with two servants, which do you tip?
00:32:19The house parlour maid, of course.
00:32:21One that tips the cook, one that oversees her, for one thing.
00:32:23No.
00:32:25And she never sees you.
00:32:27What are you guessing at?
00:32:29They couldn't ask Evans to witness that well
00:32:32because she would have seen the man making it wasn't Savage.
00:32:35Well, who was it then?
00:32:36Three guesses.
00:32:38Not Roger Basington French again.
00:32:41Don't you see?
00:32:42Roger impersonated Savage.
00:32:44I bet it was Roger too
00:32:46that Wendell the doctor made all that fuss about having cancer.
00:32:49Remember Mrs. Pratt said he left early that morning before anyone was awake?
00:32:52I bet poor old Mr. Savage never left the house at all.
00:32:55They probably drugged him,
00:32:57kept him in that foul garret they shot us up in
00:32:59while Roger did his impersonation stunt.
00:33:02As soon as the will is signed,
00:33:04they pop Savage back into his own bed,
00:33:07give him an overdose of chloral,
00:33:09and Evans finds him dead in the morning.
00:33:11I do believe you've hit it, Frankie.
00:33:13How do we prove it?
00:33:14I don't know... yet.
00:33:16But an expert should be able to detect that that signature's a forgery.
00:33:20They didn't before.
00:33:21Ah, because nobody raised a question.
00:33:23One thing is certain.
00:33:25We've got to find Evans.
00:33:26He may be able to tell us a lot.
00:33:28Where are we going?
00:33:29The post office.
00:33:35Oh!
00:33:36Two shilling rubber stamps, please.
00:33:38Two shillings, is it?
00:33:41There we are, my dear.
00:33:44Lovely day, isn't it?
00:33:45For those, this is time to enjoy it.
00:33:48I expect you'll get much better weather here
00:33:50than we get in our part of the country.
00:33:52I come from Wales.
00:33:53You wouldn't believe the rain in Wales.
00:33:55We get a fair bit of weather here ourselves.
00:33:57Yesterday, now...
00:33:58Oh!
00:33:59Very nasty day yesterday.
00:34:01What part of Wales were you from?
00:34:03Marchboat.
00:34:04Do you know, now I come to mention it,
00:34:06we have someone there who comes from this part of the world.
00:34:09Gladys Evans.
00:34:10Gladys Evans.
00:34:11Gladys Evans?
00:34:12Yes.
00:34:13She was in service at Tudor Cottage,
00:34:15but she wasn't a local girl.
00:34:17Came from Wales.
00:34:18Went back there, too, to get married.
00:34:21Robert's her name is now.
00:34:23I say, you wouldn't have her address.
00:34:25I borrowed a raincoat from her and forgot to give it back.
00:34:27Now, if I had her address, I could post it to her.
00:34:29Of course I know her address.
00:34:31Sends me a postcard now and again.
00:34:33She and her husband have gone into service together.
00:34:37Oh, now, where did I put it?
00:34:45Oh, ah, here it is.
00:34:49Mrs. Roberts, the Vicarage Marchboat.
00:34:56There she was at the Vicarage all the time,
00:34:58looking after father, looking after me.
00:35:00Now you can see how dangerous it was from their point of view.
00:35:02You and Evans were actually under the same roof.
00:35:04Roger at large, it's still dangerous.
00:35:07That's it. Back to Marchboat.
00:35:14Dash it all, you might have wakened the chap.
00:35:16Do you know what time it is?
00:35:18Do you?
00:35:19There you are, rotting in bed.
00:35:20Well, I was feeling a bit rough, that's all.
00:35:22Well, you'll be feeling a lot rougher by the time I finish with you, my lad.
00:35:26I've been giving a lot of serious thought to you, Badger.
00:35:29I'm going to get father to clear your debts,
00:35:32buy that garage and put you in as manager.
00:35:35I say, how spiffy.
00:35:39On one condition,
00:35:40that you make that Bentley go like a bat out of hell
00:35:43and get us back to Marchboat in record time.
00:35:45Why? Why the haste?
00:35:46Because Roger Bassington French is still at large.
00:35:48Because we finally found out who Evans is.
00:35:50Because I have a feeling something awful is going to happen if we don't.
00:35:54Badger, you're simply not trying.
00:35:56If we go any faster, we'll take over.
00:35:58That's it.
00:36:00We're only seven miles from Meacham.
00:36:02There's an aerodrome there. We could take an air taxi.
00:36:04My dear girl.
00:36:05Then we'd be home in a couple of hours.
00:36:07Anything you say.
00:36:31Honk, honk.
00:36:34What is the matter with you?
00:36:36Sorry, I just can't get into one of those things.
00:36:39Why ever not?
00:36:40Well, you can't stop them and get out.
00:36:45Oh, all right, you bring the Bentley.
00:36:49Badger!
00:36:51Yes, thank you.
00:37:01Look here, Bobby.
00:37:06Think of Mrs. Roberts and Roger Bassington French.
00:37:14Remember, we don't know where he is.
00:37:17That's true.
00:37:30Badger!
00:37:49Badger!
00:37:51There's an outrage on the lawn.
00:38:22Hello, father.
00:38:24Mustache.
00:38:29Damn it, that was me daughter.
00:38:38Come to think of it, that was me.
00:38:41I'm sorry.
00:38:43It's all right.
00:38:45It's all right.
00:38:47It's all right.
00:38:49Come to think of it, that was me car.
00:39:05Looks quite enough.
00:39:07What did you expect? Royal artillery?
00:39:10Come on.
00:39:20Thank goodness you've come.
00:39:22Moira.
00:39:23I'm so glad to see you, I didn't know what to do.
00:39:25What on earth brings you here?
00:39:27The same thing that brought you.
00:39:31You know who Evans is too.
00:39:33It's a long story.
00:39:34Come inside.
00:39:35Oh, no, please, before we go inside, isn't there somewhere we could go?
00:39:39A cafe that's safe.
00:39:41I didn't understand, why?
00:39:43You'll understand when I tell you.
00:39:45Oh, please, Bobby, do.
00:39:47Oh, please, Bobby, do come.
00:39:49If you don't, it may be too late.
00:39:52You see, I couldn't bear staying where I was.
00:39:55I told them I'd rather go to a nursing home I knew in London.
00:39:58It wasn't true, of course.
00:40:00I just wanted to get away by myself.
00:40:02Where I wasn't known and nobody would know where to find me.
00:40:05I got on the train, just as it was starting to move.
00:40:09I went along the corridor.
00:40:12Moira.
00:40:13What is it?
00:40:14He's followed me.
00:40:15Who?
00:40:16He's out there in the street with a woman with red hair.
00:40:19This is terrible.
00:40:20Be careful.
00:40:21Oh, please, do be careful.
00:40:27Now what do we do?
00:40:30Has he gone?
00:40:32Oh, he's dangerous, Bobby.
00:40:34Horribly dangerous.
00:40:36You're sure he was there?
00:40:38Sure.
00:40:39If you only knew how that man writes.
00:40:43Do brace up, Moira. Don't be such a rabbit.
00:40:52Now look here. It's all right.
00:40:54He can't do anything as long as we all stick together.
00:40:57Now, sit down. Drink your coffee.
00:41:01Oh, but sugar...
00:41:02Oh, sorry.
00:41:07Very useful things, sugar bowls, don't you think?
00:41:10Have you gone batty, Frankie?
00:41:12What the devil are you doing?
00:41:13Taking a sample of this coffee for George R. Buckner to analyze.
00:41:16It's no good, Moira.
00:41:17I was almost sure before, but then it came to me in a flash.
00:41:20You put something in our coffee, didn't you, when you sent us out there looking for Roger.
00:41:23The game's up, Mrs. Nicholson.
00:41:25Or do you prefer Templeton?
00:41:27If she denies it, ask her to come to the vicarage and we'll see if Mrs. Roberts can identify her.
00:41:31You bitch.
00:41:32Why do you think she wouldn't come to the vicarage?
00:41:33You interfering bitch.
00:41:35I'll see you both damned in hell before I let you take what's mine.
00:41:41Get out of me! Get out of me!
00:41:44It wasn't me, I tell you.
00:41:46It was him! Him! Him!
00:41:51It's quite trouble, is it?
00:41:53Nice cup of tea, my lady.
00:41:56Vicar will be back later.
00:42:01Thank you very much, Mrs. Roberts.
00:42:05Evans?
00:42:06Yes, Willie.
00:42:08However, did you know?
00:42:10We didn't.
00:42:11It might have saved us an awful lot of bother if we had.
00:42:13Well, Evans was my name before I married Roberts.
00:42:16We went to a lot of trouble finding that out.
00:42:20There's nothing wrong, is there, sir?
00:42:22I mean, apart from this afternoon.
00:42:24Mrs. Roberts, does the name Alan Carstairs mean anything to you?
00:42:29Well, the gentleman wrote me the letter.
00:42:32He wrote to you?
00:42:34Yes, sir.
00:42:36He wanted to see me, sir, about Mrs. Templeton.
00:42:39You see, I was in service with her before I come here with Roberts.
00:42:43Mr. Carstairs said,
00:42:44did I know that she was a dangerous international criminal wanted by the police?
00:42:48He arranged to meet me on my afternoon off, it would have been,
00:42:51but then he never turned up, so I forgot all about it.
00:42:54Anyway, my Mrs. Templeton could never be anything so wicked.
00:42:56Very nice young lady.
00:42:58Well, it was your Mrs. Templeton who took a potshot at us just now in the Orient Cafe.
00:43:02Never!
00:43:03Mrs. Roberts, when Alan Carstairs didn't turn up, but a body did,
00:43:08didn't that strike you as odd?
00:43:10Well, the man at the bottom of the cliff was called Pritchard.
00:43:13I mean, why should a man called Pritchard be a man called Carstairs, I ask you?
00:43:18And then those people, they came and identified him.
00:43:20Oh, the Caymans.
00:43:21Yes, well, believe it or not, Mr. Cayman was your ex-employer, Mr. Templeton.
00:43:26I said to Roberts, I'd seen a man reminding me of Mr. Templeton,
00:43:30nearly knocked me down he did in the village.
00:43:32Small world, isn't it?
00:43:35Not what we're used to at Marchport.
00:43:37No. No, it's not, is it?
00:43:40Still, no harm done, eh?
00:43:45Three people dead and no harm done.
00:43:47Oh, fair play, Frankie. We weren't all that bright ourselves.
00:43:51Well, I thought I did jolly well,
00:43:53considering I had no idea what was going on in the first place.
00:43:56The person I feel sorry for, Sylvia.
00:43:59Maury will obviously drag Roger into it,
00:44:01and there'll be an awful lot of publicity.
00:44:12This came for you, milady.
00:44:19Frankie, Tommy and I need your help.
00:44:22Desperate circumstances.
00:44:24We'll be at Meadoway tonight only.
00:44:26Please come, Sylvia.
00:44:48Sylvia?
00:44:57I'm so glad you could come.
00:44:59That tender heart of yours will be the undoing of you, Frankie.
00:45:03You never can resist an appeal for help, can you?
00:45:06And before you start worrying, Sylvia and Tommy are quite safe.
00:45:09They're both in California with Dr Nicholson.
00:45:11They may even make a match of it.
00:45:13Would be nice if there were at least one happy ending,
00:45:16don't you think?
00:45:18Won't you sit down, now that you're here?
00:45:20I'm afraid I can't.
00:45:22I don't have to tie you up this time, do I?
00:45:24I take it I can't get away.
00:45:26The windows are shuttered and padlocked.
00:45:28The key's in my pocket.
00:45:30This time there's no convenient skylight in the roof.
00:45:45Unopened. Nothing unopened.
00:45:49Unopened.
00:45:51Nothing up my sleeves.
00:45:53No morphia, no chloroform.
00:45:55Makes a change.
00:45:58Everyone thought you'd fled the country.
00:46:01That's what they were meant to think.
00:46:03They really would have been too stupid to try and escape while the hunt was on.
00:46:07Actually, I spent a couple of very interesting afternoons
00:46:10in the public gallery at the Old Bailey, watching Moira's trial.
00:46:13Fascinating, wasn't it?
00:46:16Would you like to know the truth about Moira?
00:46:19Moira was an accomplished criminal by the time she was 15.
00:46:24If you hadn't stopped her,
00:46:26helpless little Moira might have ended up
00:46:28running the biggest drug ring in the Western Hemisphere.
00:46:31With you to help her?
00:46:33A man must have some ambition.
00:46:36You were in love with her.
00:46:38Well, perhaps I thought I was for a time.
00:46:41I was attracted by her.
00:46:43Enormously.
00:46:46We met in America.
00:46:48Things were getting a little too hot for her here.
00:46:51Well, and for me, actually.
00:46:53So we decided to move the entire operation over here.
00:46:56That's why we married her off to Dr Nicholson.
00:46:58Married her off?
00:47:00Nicholson offered her a new name, a new country, a new identity.
00:47:05And perfect cover.
00:47:07A clinic where they cured drug addicts.
00:47:10He didn't worry you at all?
00:47:12The effect you'd be having on innocent lives.
00:47:14My dear Frankie, I truly believe
00:47:16that every man has the right to go to hell
00:47:18in any way he chooses.
00:47:21Like your brother, you mean.
00:47:24Like Henry.
00:47:26Just as you didn't like Moira,
00:47:28I didn't like Henry.
00:47:32He was a fool.
00:47:35He didn't care about Meriway.
00:47:38I do care.
00:47:40I love it.
00:47:42At that time, I thought I wanted only two things.
00:47:45Meriway and the money to run it in the way it deserved to be run.
00:47:49And to restore it to its former glory.
00:47:54I nearly got both.
00:47:57You stopped me.
00:47:59But not in time.
00:48:03Murder, my dear Frankie, is merely an acceleration of the natural process.
00:48:07You're a monster.
00:48:11Not cold, are you?
00:48:13I wouldn't like you to freeze to death.
00:48:17You were quite prepared to tip me into a quarry.
00:48:20Oh, but I shouldn't have enjoyed it.
00:48:22Did you enjoy killing John Savage?
00:48:25Savage was the goose that laid the golden egg.
00:48:28Moira found him and set him up.
00:48:30She was travelling as Mrs Templeton at the time.
00:48:32Well, you know how romantic boat trips can be.
00:48:36Savage wrote a letter
00:48:38enclosing a photograph of his beloved
00:48:40and sent it to his friend,
00:48:42Alan Carstairs.
00:48:44Who you pushed off a cliff in Wales.
00:48:46To wish you could have seen me as Savage.
00:48:49I was superb.
00:48:51The plot may have been Moira's, but the performance was all mine.
00:48:55And Savage did die quite quickly, I promise you.
00:48:58Mrs Templeton conveniently disappeared abroad with the loot
00:49:02so that Moira could reappear at the Grange
00:49:05to be welcomed home by her doting and totally unsuspecting husband.
00:49:09How a psychiatrist could ever trust a woman?
00:49:12I shall never understand.
00:49:14Having forged your way into 700,000 pounds,
00:49:18why didn't you take the lot while you were about it?
00:49:20Far too suspicious.
00:49:22No, the charity touch was my idea.
00:49:24It sounded so respectable, so unfishy.
00:49:27And yet it was the charity touch, as you called it,
00:49:30that made Alan Carstairs so suspicious.
00:49:33Well, yes, that and the most appalling piece of luck.
00:49:37Some friends brought him down here for lunch.
00:49:39He saw this picture of Moira,
00:49:42recognised it at once as the woman in the photograph that Savage had sent to him.
00:49:46It's the trouble with Moira.
00:49:48Once seen, never forgotten.
00:49:50Then he followed the trail to Chipping Somerton
00:49:52and then, like you, to Marchboat.
00:49:54And ended up with a broken back.
00:49:56Not like you.
00:50:00Do you realise
00:50:02if your friend, Bobby,
00:50:04had been an even tolerably competent golfer,
00:50:07you and I wouldn't be chatting here now.
00:50:10Alan Carstairs would have died anyway.
00:50:13His body would have been washed out to sea
00:50:15and no-one would have been any the wiser.
00:50:17I must say, it was a bit of a blow
00:50:19when I realised he hadn't been killed outright.
00:50:22I was in the most frightful dilemma.
00:50:24It was just as well Bobby had to go herring back to Evensong.
00:50:27Gave me just time to remove the photograph of Moira
00:50:31and plant one of Amelia Cayman in its place.
00:50:34We thought we were home and dry.
00:50:37Then Bobby rocked the boat.
00:50:40Why didn't they ask Evans?
00:50:43Bobby knew about Evans
00:50:45but he didn't know that Evans was at the vicarage.
00:50:47Well, we couldn't afford that link to be made.
00:50:50So Moira drove down to Marchboat in Nicholson's Green Talbot,
00:50:53popped an awful lot of morphia into Bobby's beer
00:50:55and thought that that was that.
00:50:57When she came face to face with him
00:51:00in the grounds of the Grange,
00:51:02she was so genuinely surprised she nearly passed out.
00:51:06Still, she put Bobby off the trail jolly well.
00:51:10I thought.
00:51:12Didn't you?
00:51:16Oh, Frankie.
00:51:20Merroway would have been a perfect setting for you.
00:51:24Merroway wasn't yours.
00:51:26No, but it would have been.
00:51:28There were just two people in the way, Henry and Tommy.
00:51:31A little boy.
00:51:33A little boy who liked you.
00:51:35Trusted you.
00:51:37I wasn't going to hurt him.
00:51:39Only kill him.
00:51:41I wanted Merroway to have an heir.
00:51:44My heir.
00:51:48You're mad.
00:51:53I wouldn't say that if I were you.
00:51:59Anyway,
00:52:01before I decided what to do about Henry,
00:52:04Henry decided for me.
00:52:06Fell off his horse.
00:52:08Always was a rotten rider.
00:52:10He had a lot of pain, so I introduced him to morphia.
00:52:13Before long, he was an addict.
00:52:15Our plan was to get him to the Grange as a patient.
00:52:18Once there, Moira would organise his suicide or an overdose.
00:52:21I wouldn't be connected in any way.
00:52:23Then you and your friend,
00:52:26Bobby, got suspicious.
00:52:28So, exit Henry.
00:52:30He didn't kill himself.
00:52:32No, of course he didn't.
00:52:34But you were with me and Sylvia in the conservatory.
00:52:38Brilliant improvisation, my dear Frankie.
00:52:40Sylvia was insisting that Henry should go to the Grange, remember?
00:52:44I said I'd come back into the house and telephone once more.
00:52:47Of course, I didn't telephone.
00:52:49I came straight to the study.
00:52:51Henry was there.
00:52:53I came straight to the study.
00:52:55Henry was sitting at his desk.
00:52:57I said, look here, old man, and shot him.
00:53:01He'd have heard the shot.
00:53:03No, there was an aeroplane going overhead, don't you remember?
00:53:06I was immensely grateful to him.
00:53:08Otherwise I should have had to spin some awful yarn
00:53:11about bursting into the study a second too late
00:53:14and there wouldn't have been that lovely suicide note.
00:53:17Forging that was easy.
00:53:19Henry's hand had been trembling so much for the past few months,
00:53:22I didn't know what the acting looked like.
00:53:27Then I wiped my fingerprints off the gun,
00:53:29pressed Henry's hand around it.
00:53:31I put the key of the study in Henry's pocket
00:53:33and I went out, locking the door from the outside
00:53:35with the diamond key which fits the lock.
00:53:37Then I rejoined you and Sylvia in the conservatory.
00:53:40But you were with me when I heard the shot.
00:53:44Yes, I was.
00:53:46I placed a bullet in the fire.
00:53:48It gave me just long enough to get back to you and Sylvia
00:53:50before it exploded.
00:53:51I slipped back in here later and removed the evidence.
00:53:54I really was quite pleased with the result.
00:53:57The fact that Nicholson happened to come by at just that moment
00:54:00was a bonus.
00:54:02And you should have realised only a thoroughly innocent man
00:54:05could have behaved quite so suspiciously.
00:54:08I'll remember next time.
00:54:11Next time?
00:54:14Of course, Bobbie's night errantry,
00:54:16wanting to rescue Moira from the clutches of her evil,
00:54:19plotting husband, was a bit difficult.
00:54:22That's why Moira came off down to the cottage.
00:54:26I'm jolly grateful I was to have her around too.
00:54:30Mind you, you were splendid.
00:54:33I really thought you heard me that time.
00:54:36How did you get away?
00:54:38Moira, she knew me.
00:54:40How did you get away?
00:54:42Moira, she knew from the noise upstairs that something had gone wrong.
00:54:45She was drugged.
00:54:46She injected herself with a large dose of morphia,
00:54:48knowing it wouldn't take immediate effect.
00:54:50Then, while you were phoning the police,
00:54:52she slipped upstairs and cut me free.
00:54:54But Bobbie had locked the door.
00:54:56One door was locked, but there are two.
00:54:59Looks like a cupboard, I know, but it isn't.
00:55:10The morphia began to take effect,
00:55:12and by the time the doctor arrived, she was genuinely awful.
00:55:17Terribly unsubtle, all that stuff with the coffee, I know.
00:55:20But then she had to get you and Bobbie out of the way, don't you see?
00:55:25And then again.
00:55:28Perhaps she knew how I was beginning to feel about you.
00:55:35Why have you got me here?
00:55:37Because...
00:55:39I couldn't bear the thought of life without you.
00:55:45Without Maira Way.
00:55:49So I thought, perhaps a fire.
00:55:53We'd be found clasped in each other's arms in the smoking ruins of the ancestral home.
00:56:02It's all right.
00:56:04I'm far too much of a coward.
00:56:06And far too much of an optimist.
00:56:08No, it's a fast car from here to the coast.
00:56:10I thought I'd borrow the Bentley.
00:56:12Channel crossing, or who knows, perhaps even an Atlantic one.
00:56:15Only to reappear on another continent with a new identity
00:56:18and try to make good all over again.
00:56:21Or should I say bad?
00:56:23With your share of savages' money.
00:56:25No, no, Moira had kept that.
00:56:27I was to get my share when I married her.
00:56:31So, here I am, you see.
00:56:35No money.
00:56:37No girl.
00:56:39Your affectionate enemy.
00:56:42The bold, bad villain of the peace.
00:56:49Unless you come with me and make an honest man out of me.
00:56:56Yes.
00:56:58Yes.
00:57:00That's what I thought.
00:57:03So, I'll just walk out of here, lock the door...
00:57:07You're not going to leave me?
00:57:09My dear friend, you won't come with me.
00:57:13It's goodbye.
00:57:16You really were a splendid adversary.
00:57:21You won't get away with this, you know.
00:57:25Who's going to stop me?
00:57:32I will, for one.
00:57:34If you ever get out.
00:57:40I don't think so. Do you?
00:57:45I don't think so.
00:57:47Do you?
00:57:58Er...
00:58:00Sure you won't change your mind?
00:58:10No.
00:58:12I didn't think you would.
00:58:18No.
00:58:26No! Damn!
00:58:29Damn, damn, damn, damn.
00:58:31Damn.
00:58:47Damn.
00:59:17Damn.
00:59:48Damn.
00:59:59No!
01:00:01Bobby, what are you doing here?
01:00:03You sent for me.
01:00:04I never did.
01:00:06Oh, but I can't tell you how pleased I am to see you.
01:00:09Oh, Bobby.
01:00:11Bobby, let's get out of here.
01:00:13I telephoned the castle, but nobody knew where you were.
01:00:16Then I got this wire from you saying it was urgent.
01:00:18To come at once, frankly.
01:00:20Are you all right?
01:00:21Yes.
01:00:23Yes, Roger was here when I arrived.
01:00:25What?
01:00:26I'll tell you about it later.
01:00:28Oh, but he really is a remarkable person.
01:00:31Yes, well, I suppose you always had a fancy for him.
01:00:35He had charm.
01:00:37To admire her.
01:00:39Her face did sort of haunt me.
01:00:43But then when we were in that attic together
01:00:45and you were so simply splendid about things, she...
01:00:48Well, she just faded away.
01:00:51You were so frightfully plucky.
01:00:56I wasn't feeling plucky.
01:00:59But I did want you to admire me.
01:01:01Oh, I did, darling.
01:01:04I always have.
01:01:09Is that all you're going to say?
01:01:12No.
01:01:42I love you.
01:02:12I love you.
01:02:42I love you.
01:02:44I love you.
01:03:12I love you.
