00:00Here's to Joe Stalin's next stroke.
00:09Tinkety-tongue.
00:13Who was he?
00:15Victor.
00:16Oh, met me for an air raid.
00:18Forty-one.
00:18It is true.
00:19I switched the glasses.
00:21He drank the poison meant for one of us.
00:23Now, fear and the root here.
00:25We'd be ever so grateful if you'd just keep an eye on them.
00:29This was the third attempt on our life since we left New York.
00:32The first thing you must do is arrest a cocktail waiter.
00:35And you must bring in any others on the staff.
00:39You have a reservation?
00:40No, my wife does.
00:42Your wife?
00:45It's hard for a little chat.
00:47What does Jack know?
00:49My wife and I have an arrangement, as I knew his late father.
00:53Nothing more.
00:54And should we trust you?
00:56Well, I suppose you'll find out.
00:59when the next assassin comes.
01:00Hello again.
01:24Hello.
01:26Faze.
01:27For them, I presume.
01:30Who is it?
01:32It's me.
01:51Champagne.
01:53I can put a seed in this car.
01:54Yeah.
01:58Through here.
02:00We did not order champagne.
02:07Oh, yeah.
02:20Oh, my face.
02:22Oh, my head.
02:23Oh.
02:23Oh, my head, oh.
02:25Oh, my head.
02:31Oh.
02:32Oh, my head.
02:34one more Pederset.
02:36Well, let's all calm down, should we?
04:06Oh, God. Am I going to die?
04:09It's just the greys.
04:11Luckily for you, your royal highness.
04:12This is a very, very regrettable incident, miss.
04:16Edie Rattle.
04:17Miss Edie, we live under the constant threat of assassination.
04:20The black mantle of death hovers over us like the London fog.
04:24Sometimes we make mistakes out of fear.
04:26You must forgive us.
04:28Oh, you shouldn't forgive them.
04:29You should press charges.
04:30Don't tell me what to do, OK?
04:32I've had enough of it.
04:33I've simply had enough of it.
04:35We understand, dear.
04:36Do you?
04:37Because I've descended a ship that started with a pass and ended with me getting fired.
04:41Fired?
04:41Yeah, I've been handed my cards, haven't I?
04:43What?
04:44Why?
04:44What for?
04:45Because someone sabotaged the boilers, tipped linseed oil into them.
04:50Yeah, but why would they think that that's you?
04:52Because I have a motive.
04:53Mr. Klein gave me a mouthful for standing up to that bastard.
04:56And now I've been shot.
04:57What are you, shot?
04:59What's that?
05:00Morphing tartrate.
05:01I'm not going to have you jabbing me like a bloody pincushion.
05:03It will ease your pain.
05:04I'll live.
05:05And if you do think that I'm just going to hop on the night bus and say,
05:09oh, it must be beastly that your country hates your guts and you're forced to slum it out here in the Walsingham.
05:13Well, think again, ladies.
05:15No wonder you're so nervous around the working classes.
05:18You've done my lot to be.
05:20I'll have that morphing now.
05:25Ow!
05:27Sorry, dear Rattle.
05:29What do you suggest?
05:31I'll stay here tonight in the royal suite.
05:34There are only two beds.
05:35Then I'll have the biggest.
05:36And I'll have breakfast in it.
05:38I think that's a very modest demand considering the bullets in the war.
05:41I know the importance of the rules of hospitality in your country.
05:44I've been reading up on them.
05:46That's right, Mr. Book.
05:48At home, we are obliged to take in those who need shelter.
05:51During the war, many British officers were parachuted into our territory.
05:55None were betrayed.
05:58I'll sleep on the sofa.
06:00Right.
06:01I know which one of you is lending me your toothbrush.
06:15I'll get someone to come and have a look at this.
06:17It's good to see you, Jane.
06:18We lost him.
06:32We never really knew him.
06:34Of course, it was impossible to predict how he'd react, but I was hoping for...
06:37Sympathy.
06:39Understanding.
06:39That's just the way it is with some people.
06:43They get down on a thing when they don't know nothing about it.
06:47Huckleberry fit?
06:48Top marks.
06:49You can sleep on the left.
06:50I like that, Edie.
06:53She's sharp.
06:54Sharp as her nibs.
06:55The princess.
06:58Busy day tomorrow.
07:00Bliss has arrested Ghazili.
07:02Oh?
07:03It's a mistake.
07:04So I suspect I'll spend the morning showing him why.
07:07Clever clogs.
07:09If the shoe fits.
07:10Oh, it's the Dynaric Alps, by the way.
07:12Eh?
07:13It's the Dynaric Alps, my love.
07:15Not the Carpathians.
07:17As I said.
07:18Clever clogs.
07:19Hm.
07:43Book.
07:49This way, Mr. Condilley.
07:53The inspector's ready to see you now.
08:13Finish with that mug, Sergeant.
08:16Bagged and labelled, sir.
08:18We'll return it in due course.
08:20Take a seat.
08:25Are you going to charge me?
08:27Oh, there's plenty of time for that.
08:29I've said it already.
08:30It's in my statement.
08:32Oh.
08:33Just one thing before we start.
08:35Mr. Book here will be joining us.
08:37He's a specialist.
08:39Mr. Ghazili, it's very important that you use this interview
08:42to tell us the truth.
08:43Because if you don't, I can't be held accountable
08:45for the consequences.
08:48We know about your affair with Edie Rattle.
08:51She's given us a statement.
08:52And in doing so, has given us a possible motive.
08:55A reason for you to kill Captain Orr.
08:58Because he made a pass at Edie.
09:01It must happen like three times a day.
09:05What business are you in exactly?
09:08The antiquarian book business.
09:10I've read the Kanoon of Scutari.
09:13Have you?
09:14I know it.
09:15Live by it?
09:17It was very important in my village.
09:20Let's start, then.
09:23If I said we were going to give you the third degree,
09:25what would you expect?
09:27Kicking out by the beans?
09:28Snake in the grass.
09:29What did you say?
09:30Forget the third degree.
09:31Snake in the grass.
09:32Come on, I'm waiting.
09:37Vodka.
09:37At last.
09:38Creme de menthe, lime juice, lemonade.
09:43Where's my ice?
09:44It went in first.
09:46Are you shaking this drink?
09:48Come on, come on, Mr. Gazzilli.
09:50This is the waltzing.
09:51Am I shaking this drink?
09:52I'm stirring it.
09:53I'm stirring it.
09:53Atta boy.
09:55Atta boy.
09:55I know that.
09:57French vermouth, dry gin, grenadine,
10:00four dashes.
10:01Shaken.
10:02And what would you put in a pansy?
10:04And he said?
10:10No, no, no, Mr. Gazzilli.
10:12Look, I'm still on probation.
10:14I'm not an expert.
10:15I'd say you're not.
10:17But nor are you a murderer.
10:19Well, what makes you say that?
10:21Because he left a dirty great fingerprint
10:23on the upper part of one of those glasses.
10:25And a good cocktail waiter,
10:28as well as knowing how to mix a third degree,
10:31always handles a rock glass lower down.
10:36You made the drink for the captain,
10:38which is when you left your fingerprint on his glass.
10:40But the drink was not deadly.
10:43I'm sorry if this sounds insulting, Mr. Gazzilli,
10:45but you have yet to acquire the skill
10:47to poison anyone in a crowded bar in plain sight,
10:50particularly with just a few seconds
10:52between the inciting incident and the crime.
10:54But I'm sure you'll get there.
10:57In fact, I'd go so far as to say
10:58you were already a model employee.
11:01You're going to write me a reference now, are you?
11:03Why not?
11:05How long have the princesses been in the hotel?
11:08Four days.
11:09And you'd already noticed
11:10they always reject the first drink,
11:12so you made it out of tap water.
11:16Yes.
11:17Some employers would promote a member of staff
11:19so concerned about wastage.
11:24Well, Mr. Gazzilli,
11:28seems like you can go and collect your things.
11:32Our friend here is checking out, Sergeant Morris.
11:36Very good, sir.
11:37Well, now what?
11:48Anyone could have got that hydrochloric acid
11:50into the drink.
11:52And Gazzilli was too clumsy to have done it.
11:54As I discovered late last night,
11:58the Kanoon of Scutari has very strict rules
12:00about hospitality.
12:02It's taboo to harm anyone you consider your guest.
12:05Captain Orr was Gazzilli's guest, strictly speaking,
12:08and the Kanoon is very strict.
12:09Did it tell you anything else useful?
12:13Oh, yes.
12:15Insult my wife in front of the headman of the village
12:17and you owe me a sheep.
12:19If my wife insults you,
12:22I owe you five.
12:27Well, I find it's usually best
12:28if people are just nice to each other.
12:30Ooh.
12:46Bye!
12:55Bye!
12:59you were not in the army were you you know where i was well no matter straight in your spine
13:17perhaps at the palace a line of soldiers would salute us just on our way to breakfast
13:23oh look at you how the mighty have fallen and back then we weren't always looking over our shoulders
13:29we were at home with our own people you boy you must fetch the inspector why what's happened
13:35another threatening letter
13:37you've done all right they ordered in no less than i deserve
13:52sure enough balkan mix apparently nice see those little girl rings at the end there
13:59i'm a capstan man myself weren't you supposed to bring me for that bovril
14:03well i thought you had everything you needed here
14:05it's a bit rich for my blood
14:10so where was miss edie rattle when the murder took place uh having a woodbine outside according to a
14:22having already administered the poison meant for the princesses according to my intelligence
14:28sources she's a fully paid up party member communist red as lenin's combinations what so she might have
14:35wanted them dead on behalf of the new ruling class of scutari then there's the other sister of course
14:42other sister oh yes there are three of them inspector three sisters
14:49the kingdom divided exiled monarchs i wonder
14:56anyway princess sunia went over to the other side
15:01so it could be her striking the blow for the work is by assassinating their siblings
15:05this is where we should be looking uh in my opinion
15:09so
15:10oh yes
15:16like the ladies didn't they captain all
15:19that's not how i would have put it
15:21still
15:23at least we have his home number now
15:26eh no
15:27yes this must be his wife sylvia
15:30what do you know
15:31she's the only one without a star rating
15:33oh
15:35yeah well there's another familiar name in there too

20:30MUSIC CONTINUES
21:00Yes, of course, and we're terribly sorry.
21:06Well, if that's the best you can do...
21:08Oh, Miss Raffle.
21:13Yes, Mr. Kind?
21:15I heard about the unfortunate incident.
21:18That's one way of describing it.
21:21I'm okay, but I think I might indulge myself a bit more in the cream of society.
21:28As I've been fired, I can use the hotel as a guest instead.
21:32Meaning?
21:33Their Royal Highnesses.
21:34I'm to put everything in their account.
21:36Well, don't spend too much.
21:38What?
21:39Nothing.
21:39Um, Miss Rattle.
21:40Yes?
21:41Would you kindly come and see me after you've indulged yourself?
21:45Okay, Mr. Kind.
21:46E.D., can we talk?
21:59I do want to apologize for the quality of the service today.
22:03The heating is off.
22:04The menu is cold.
22:06I'm deeply sorry.
22:07Ismail, none of that is your fault.
22:10Yeah, I'm afraid it is.
22:13It was caused by the three bottles of linseed oil that I stole from your cupboard.
22:18But linseed oil is for polishing.
22:21I use it for my new oil posts and my dados.
22:24Yes, I know.
22:25But I poured it into the generator.
22:28I didn't poison Victor OED, but I did poison the hotel.
22:32I was so angry.
22:35With myself, with that man, with this place.
22:40So I just thought I'd kill it.
22:43I'm deeply sorry.
22:45I shall confess everything to Mr. Kind, and you will not lose your job, E.D.
23:02I shall confess everything to Mr. Kind, and you will not lose your job, E.D.
23:32I shall confess everything to Mr. Kind, and you will not lose your job, E.D.
24:02You.
24:11Me.
24:15This isn't easy for me, as I'm sure you can imagine.
24:18Of course.
24:20You've just lost your husband.
24:22That boat sailed a long time ago, Mrs. Book.
24:25And you're not the first of Victor's conquests to telephone.
24:28If it makes it any easier, and you didn't, then what?
24:38Conquer.
24:38I used to come here all the time, you know, to watch him with the latest model.
24:54Madam?
24:54You've read it.
25:07Does he want self-hear assessed like livestock?
25:11Well, you think he got what he deserved.
25:16Well, not quite, but, uh...
25:19I mean, what a pig he was!
25:20Do you know, I'd think better of him if it was a real diary.
25:28Something with a bit of proper, adulterous passion.
25:30Don't worry, my dear, I didn't really blame you.
25:37I mean, Victor had charm to spare in his day.
25:42And I grew used to his adventures.
25:46Numb to them.
25:48So used to them, it became a sort of hobby.
25:51That sounds strange?
25:56My marriage grew cold.
25:58Well, my life grew cold.
26:01I don't really think I've felt anything since Dunkirk.
26:07So I'd come here.
26:10Where there was light and laughter.
26:13Usually.
26:14Did you not worry that he, uh, might see you?
26:22Victor hadn't noticed me in years.
26:25There was no reason to think he'd start now.
26:29Is that how you were able to?
26:34What?
26:37The poison.
26:40I mean, you were there.
26:41You handed me that cloth.
26:43It would have been easy for you to administer it.
26:46I didn't kill my husband, Mrs. Book.
26:50I pitied Victor.
26:52Didn't despise him.
26:54Then who did?
27:01How was this war?
27:04He did his service in Cairo.
27:06And a stint in the Balkans.
27:09The Balkans?
27:10And before that, he was here.
27:15The home front.
27:16Whereabouts?
27:19Ascot.
27:19Ah, it is you.
27:38Would it be...
27:39What does that say?
27:43Death to parasites.
27:44Thank you for coming.
27:56Everything's off.
27:57Kippers, kidneys, kedgeri.
28:00And the radiators.
28:01They're definitely off.
28:02Oh.
28:04There's a selection of cold meat.
28:07Splendid.
28:07Well, two of those then.
28:08Please wait on.
28:09Do make sure they're properly cold.
28:11I have whore inconsistency.
28:13Sir?
28:13The service.
28:14It is appalling.
28:15Well, call me Marie Antoinette.
28:17But I was expecting the lavatories to flush.
28:20Still, the heating did come on for half an hour.
28:22That was nice.
28:22You said it was urgent, Mr. Book.
28:25In a way, yes.
28:26Are you any closer?
28:27Closer.
28:28To finding out who tried to murder us?
28:30No one tried to murder you.
28:33But the letters.
28:35The threads.
28:36You said those.
28:37What?
28:42You're mad.
28:43How dare you?
28:44Do sit down, princess.
28:46The very idea that I...
28:47I said sit down.
28:50I may be more of a diplomat than the inspector.
28:53There's only so much of this exhausting auteur I can stand.
28:58When did you start?
29:00Sending the letters.
29:02Not right away, I imagine.
29:04For a while it was real.
29:05When we fled our country, there were eyes everywhere.
29:12We feared to eat or drink.
29:15We lived day by day.
29:16Shoveed into stinking cellars.
29:19The holds of filthy ships.
29:22But the threat was real, Mr. Book.
29:25In New York, we were fated.
29:27They love royalty there, as you know, precisely because they have none of their own.
29:31We were invited to all the right parties, met all the right people.
29:36But there is nothing more tragic than exile, Mr. Book.
29:41And nothing more pathetic.
29:44After a time, the invitations dried up, the parade moved on, and I realized that we had gone from being in danger to something far, far worse.
29:54We had become irrelevant.
29:56We had become irrelevant.
30:01What did the New Resim and Scutari have to fear from us?
30:05Why would they send assassins halfway across the globe to make a way with us?
30:10Why would anyone bother?
30:12But there is glamour in death, in danger.
30:19And so I began to write all those letters, both to us and to the authorities of whichever poor nation we were imposing ourselves upon.
30:28I pay a woman here a modest fee to skulk around the hotel, dropping them off now and then.
30:33Some suspected your other sister might be behind those.
30:36She is dead, Mr. Book.
30:41I saw her shot in the face.
30:45The communists never really trusted her.
30:53And I will not lose another sister.
30:58But then there was an actual poisoning.
31:00I didn't know what to think.
31:01And I feel you swap the glasses, as always, and then that man, that captain, lying dead at our feet.
31:10My mind, it raced.
31:12Had it all become real?
31:15But what else could I do but continue as planned?
31:19It was very well done.
31:23And last, though, the impression of your sister's pen nibs is very distinctive.
31:28Indeed?
31:28Music nib.
31:31Narrow downstrokes, broad crossstrokes for writing musical notation.
31:35Ah.
31:36And she's composing those rather sad and lovely little tunes of hers.
31:39And the references to your wardrobe, too.
31:42Rather specific for a desperate communist assassin.
31:45Oh, I couldn't help myself.
31:49So, does this mean, then, that...
31:51Captain Orr was the intended victim.
31:54So, I have to ask Mr. Book, in the spirit of your British stories, who done it?
32:04Well, that is the question, dear lady.
32:07Sir?
32:09I'm not normally a fan of this sort of thing.
32:39Redent of the kind of thriller one finds in W.H. Smith.
32:42However, sometimes it really is best to gather everyone together.
32:47Unity of place and all that.
32:49So, on the night of the murder, Mr. Gazealy here set up a first round of two drinks.
32:55Yes.
32:55Which is rejected by the princesses and goes down the sink.
32:58Now, we come to the brouhaha.
33:01And a new character enters our drama.
33:04Captain Victor Orr.
33:05Kindly represented here by Mr. Kind.
33:09In you come, Miss Rattle.
33:10Tell us what happened next.
33:11Well, there's Captain Watsit soaked in Tattinger.
33:15And he's telling me he has some extra duties for me.
33:19Which seem to involve me going to his room and leaving with some money.
33:23So, I decline, of course.
33:25And I'm looking over at Ismael.
33:28I'm looking at him because, well, I think he might help me out.
33:32Do the decent.
33:33And he doesn't.
33:34What happens next, Edie?
33:37Well, I'm thinking, is the captain going to hit me?
33:39So, I tell him where to get off.
33:41And then he says something.
33:44I know some threat or other.
33:45I wasn't listening.
33:47And that's when Jack here came to my rescue.
33:50And then I went outside for a smoke.
33:52Thank you, Miss Rattle.
33:54So, Mr. Gazealy then sets up two more glasses for a new round.
33:59Four Walsingham sours.
34:03In total.
34:04Three good ones and one, as we shall see, about to have an extra ingredient.
34:14But when precisely did one of these drinks get a dash of hydrochloric acid?
34:19Princess Nefille, you tell us that you switched two of these glasses around.
34:24Which two?
34:25Like this, Mr. Book.
34:27One of ours or one of theirs.
34:30Very good.
34:31But you're not drinking yet, are you?
34:32Because you want to see someone else drink first.
34:35Which is only prudent, only sensible when there are so many assassins about.
34:39So, you have to wait a little while longer until the distraction is over.
34:44And this is the Russian roulette moment now, is it?
34:47This was not a casual murder.
34:50It was very carefully thought through.
34:52Now, we know the poison was not in Mr. Gazealy's shaker.
34:55We know the princess Nefille deserves no reproaches.
34:58All your Royal Highness did was switch one perfectly safe and effective waltzing himself and another.
35:04In fact, I would suggest that none of these drinks would have produced anything worse than a hangover.
35:09Until the incident were the coins.
35:11That was the moment of opportunity for someone here to poison one of these cocktails.
35:16The one that he was clearly about to pick up.
35:18Yes, there was no mistake.
35:19Captain Orr had to die.
35:21Why, though?
35:27Do you remember the Arundora star?
35:31Not our finest hour, I feel.
35:34She was torpedoed by the Jerry's.
35:35Started the war?
35:37July 2nd, 1940.
35:39There was a set two on board, wasn't there?
35:40A lot of internees being sent to Australia.
35:43Canada.
35:43Canada.
35:44Fighting amongst themselves.
35:46Well, that's what it said in the Daily Express.
35:48In Parliament, too, Mr. Book.
35:49Does it mean it's true?
35:50Indeed.
35:54And amongst the passengers, your sister, Maria.
36:10Barberini, M. 12th January 1940, Ascot Racecourse.
36:1616th of January, Ascot Racecourse.
36:1919th.
36:20So it was her Captain Orr met at the races?
36:23Well, there was no racing during the war.
36:25Quite.
36:26Of course, Ascot's where they put the Regulation 18-B alert, wasn't it?
36:30English Nazis, German anti-Nazis, ice cream men, spaghetti house vendors,
36:36waiters who'd once said something vaguely complimentary about the cut of Il Duce's jib, all put under barbed wire.
36:45In a tournament camp?
36:46What was the case against the Barberinis, though?
36:48My parents were born in Italy, so someone here claimed I was a fascist, marched me out during service, sent up Knopf.
36:58Nobody protested.
37:00Particularly the man who ran the bar here in the Blitz.
37:03And your sister.
37:04In 1938, my father said, why not spend the summer with your Italian aunt?
37:13Go to the beach with them, to the Campo Solare, build fires, get some fresh air.
37:21They give you a nice little uniform, like the girl guides, but Mussolini's girl guides.
37:28Ah.
37:29So she brought the uniform home as a souvenir.
37:33It was enough for the men from 18-B.
37:36There it was in a wardrobe, so off she went to Ascot.
37:41She was interned because of the uniform.
37:44People do take them terribly seriously.
37:46Well, it worked for Victor.
37:48When he was in his sailor suit, people did what he said.
37:52I mean, it was charm, as well as rank.
37:55Rank charm.
37:56That's how he got Maria's name on the list for Canada.
37:59Perhaps we should be generous.
38:01Imagine he was getting her out of the camp to a new life away from the war.
38:05No.
38:06He just wanted the troublesome lover out of the way before his wife found her.
38:11That ship was a death trap.
38:15I dream about that.
38:18Those people pushing at the barricade.
38:22The great wooden exes wrapped in barbed wire.
38:25And then the sea coming in and drowning them both.
38:30Both.
38:31Maria and the baby.
38:35His baby.
38:38I knew his name, that was all.
38:40But I couldn't find him.
38:42Messed the war.
38:43Turned everything upside down.
38:46No one was in a great hurry to help out an insignificant WAP waiter.
38:49Turned out I'd been serving in Walsingham Sour's for months.
38:54Victor Warham.
38:55My old friend.
38:56I can't leave you alone for five minutes, can I?
39:00Well, the bloody girl can't take a joke.
39:02Let's have a couple of those.
39:04What do you call them?
39:05Walsingham Sour's.
39:07With the two ladies.
39:08Eh.
39:09For their royal highnesses.
39:11You mean?
39:12These are on me, ladies.
39:13The man who took away my precious Maria.
39:17My beloved sister.
39:22So I did what had to be done.
39:25I prepared eyes.
39:27Special eyes.
39:29Oh.
39:30Oh dear.
39:32So embarrassing.
39:33I do apologize.
39:35Not at all.
39:36Look after the pennies.
39:38The pounds will look after themselves.
39:41What?
39:41Okay.
40:03It was her birthday.
40:04See?
40:06Maria's birthday.
40:07Would have been.
40:09It seemed, um.
40:11It seemed fitting.
40:13Yes.
40:14Yes, Master of Time.
40:18And I took the precaution of keeping some of the poisoned ice.
40:23Tinky tonk.
40:25Wait!
40:26Oh, no!
40:27Just ordinary ice, at last.
40:31I'm afraid I swapped it.
40:32I'm so very, very sorry about your sister, Signor Barberini.
40:40But murder is murder.
40:44Marco Barberini, I'm arresting you on a charge of murder.
40:48You do not have to say anything but anything you do say may be taken down and used against you in a court of law.
40:54Do you have anything to say?
40:55Oh, by the way, Mr. Kind, the linseed oil in the generators, that was me too.
41:11Sorry.
41:11No, thank God for that.
41:37Mr. Kind, you wanted a word?
41:42Oh, yes, Miss Ratcliffe.
41:43I was thinking about your position here.
41:46Well, now I know that you were not responsible for the incident with the generators.
41:50Yes.
41:50Well, your dismissal was unnecessarily expeditious.
41:54Yes.
41:55Yes.
41:56And I wanted to say I would very much like to offer that position back to you.
42:01Well, I accept.
42:04That's all very satisfactory.
42:05There's a ledger here, isn't there?
42:07A ledger?
42:08One with all the comings and goings of the staff.
42:11Might I see my entry?
42:13It's over there.
42:15Yes, of course.
42:25There I am.
42:28Edith Rattle.
42:29Reason for leaving, sabotage.
42:32Well, let us strike that from the record.
42:38Thank you, Mr. Kind.
42:40Now, Mr. Kind, I resign.
42:44You resign?
42:45Yes, I resign.
42:46Would you mind putting that in there for me?
42:49You can't resign?
42:51I believe I just did.
42:54Oh, the workers.
42:59Oh, the workers!
43:11Oh, this is quite correct.
43:13Two more, please.
43:14For those people.
43:17Oh.
43:21Missing the war, are you?
43:23I don't know what the etiquette is.
43:25Ooh, I think that's the royal summons.
43:30What else?
43:31For you, Mr. Book.
43:33For the book.
43:35Oh, thank you.
43:36What's that for?
43:37I don't know.
43:38What's that for?
43:42A hundred guineas.
43:43No, I mean, what's it for?
43:45Oh, our copy of the Canoon of Scutari.
43:47In our trade, it pays to specialize.
43:50It'll bounce.
43:51Well, if it doesn't, I shall give it to the Arundora Star Memorial Fund.
43:57Please enjoy.
43:59What should we drink to?
44:01To us.
44:03To the Barberinis?
44:04Yes.
44:05To Marco and Maria and...
44:07All the Barberinis.
44:09The lost and the defeated.
44:12All the Barberinis.
44:14Those who bear the name and those who do not.
44:18And let there be no more drownings.
44:20He got me the job.
44:38Mr. Book.
44:41He arranged for you to take me on.
44:44The princesses were looking for a bodyguard.
44:46Gabriel asked if I could help.
44:49So, you see, he was looking out for you.
44:51Despite your falling out.
44:53You know him well.
44:55We go a long way back.
45:01Looking out for me.
45:04Or manipulating me.
45:06Well, why would you think of it like that?
45:07He sought me out.
45:09Found me when I come out of prison.
45:12Set me up.
45:13Nice job.
45:15Nice home.
45:15Yes.
45:16Why?
45:17You'd have to ask him that.
45:20And a monster.
45:21Mr. Kind.
45:22I'm grateful.
45:23Of course I am.
45:24It's just...
45:25It's a lot, you know.
45:28They're set up.
45:30The way they are, Mr. and Mrs. Book.
45:32The way he is.
45:34It's hard for me to just...
45:36accept it.
45:38You have a moral objection?
45:39Me?
45:41What right do I have to moralise?
45:42I think you've answered your own question.
45:45Book is kind.
45:47I mean, I know I'm kind.
45:49Edmund, kind.
45:51But I once knew a girl called Joy, and she was anything but.
45:56There's no sinister motive, Jack.
45:58They want to help.
46:00Why don't you let them?
46:01I don't know.
46:02I don't know.
46:02I don't know.
46:03I don't know.
46:03I don't know.
46:04I don't know.
46:04I don't know.
46:05I don't know.
46:05I don't know.
46:05I don't know.
46:06I don't know.
46:06I don't know.
46:06I don't know.
46:07I don't know.
46:07I don't know.
46:07I don't know.
46:07I don't know.
46:08I don't know.
46:08I don't know.
46:09You
46:31With you in just one moment
46:35Hello again, oh, this is good win
46:39Jean
46:40Jean
46:40After more of the same, the pimpinette?
46:44I'm not really sure, I think I fancy something a little different
46:48May husband not with you?
46:49No
46:50The golf course?
46:51No
46:51The garrick?
46:53The divorce courts
46:54Oh
46:55Oh
46:57That play you gave me, a doll's house, most illuminating
47:02Like you suggested, it rather made me think
47:05Yes, I thought it might do
47:07Made me realise how narrow my horizons have become
47:10Or rather
47:10How narrow Gerald had made my horizons
47:14Love doesn't always last forever, unless
47:17I never loved him
47:18Awful man
47:20But that's all in the past now
47:23Or in the hands of my solicitor anyway
47:25So
47:26What can I do for you then, Jean?
47:29What have you got on travel?
47:31Travel?
47:32Lots of it
47:33Heaps of it
47:34Exotic travel
47:36I think it's time I saw a bit of the world
47:39I've got just the thing
47:41With you in just one moment, sir
47:49Thanks
48:01I know you run on it
48:07Without tea I have made it
48:09Unreconstituted dust
48:11It's hard to let go of the past, Mr. Book
48:19When you have so many questions about it
48:21Such as?
48:24Well
48:24If it wasn't for you and Trotty
48:26I'd be
48:27Well
48:28I'd be sleeping on the embankment
48:32But now I have a position
48:36If it's still available
48:39The Royal Highnesses have let you go
48:42I'll quit
48:43Good for you
48:44Yes, the job's still yours
48:47So
48:48I've got a position
48:50Cozy little room
48:53Above a bookshop on Archangel Lane
48:56I'm thinking
48:59Warn me
49:03Your father gave me this
49:22The last time I saw him
49:251935
49:27The last time
49:29He died
49:32Soon after
49:35I couldn't face looking at this book
49:40Not for years
49:42And then the war came
49:45And I was busy
49:46Rather busy
49:49It was only a few months ago
49:52That I picked it up again
49:53Dared to pick it up
49:55And I found there was a little more to it
49:58Than I thought
49:58What do you mean?
50:01Oh somewhere
50:13Meek unconscious dove
50:15But sittest ranging golden hair
50:19And glad to find thyself so fair
50:23Poor child
50:26That waitest for thy love
50:28He's trying to tell me
50:31You see
50:32About you
50:34About the son
50:37I never knew he had
50:38Must have been taken around when you were conceived
51:06Felix
51:14Felix
51:14Felix
51:20I never had his name
51:25Just that
51:27Just that one picture
51:31Your father
51:35Your father was a German
51:35German
51:39Prussian
51:41In point of fact
51:43What was he to you
51:49Mr. Book
51:51Or was Felix to me
51:54He was everything
52:02Jack
52:03He was everything
52:04Jack
52:05He was what the war took away
52:09He was the whole damn world
52:16How did he die?
52:25How did he die?
52:28I don't know
52:30Shall we find out?
52:40He was the king
52:42He was the king
52:57He was the king
52:58But he was the king
52:58So he went for shelter
