09:36Oh, oh, oh, oh.
10:06It's a button.
10:09It's a very nice button.
10:12Nora, have you been taking shillings from this tin?
10:15No.
10:16Remind me, what's the price of a green penguin crime novel?
10:22A shilling.
10:23Ah, that's better.
10:35Ah, success.
10:38Oh, it's you.
11:06You ready to commit an affray, miss?
11:08No, Sergeant, she was just, um, browsing.
11:11I hate to seem inquisitive, but why are you here?
11:13There's a chap being killed at the walls in them.
11:15Poisoned.
11:16Dead in a pile of pound notes on the floor of the river bar.
11:19Oh, that's just our sort of thing.
11:21Don't get too excited.
11:22The inspector wants a book.
11:24A G book.
11:25That's quiet.
11:25There's some foreign royalty involved, it seems.
11:29He says, uh, do you have anything on the Balkan rules of revenge?
11:34Specifically, the canon of Scutari.
11:38How too, too ridiculously obscure.
11:41Do you have it?
11:41Almost certainly.
11:42Mm.
11:43And, uh, 504, he says.
11:46504?
11:47Room with a view.
11:48It's all right for some, I suppose.
11:50Mrs. Book's already checked in.
11:52Why?
11:53Oh, uh, she's one of the suspects.
11:56Trouble in paradise, he says so.
12:26Oh, what a beauty.
12:32Yes.
12:32Might be one of those clues.
12:34We like those.
12:36Do you mind?
12:37Yes.
12:40Do people really say, what's your poison when they're at the bar?
12:44No idea.
12:45I don't get out much.
12:46What do you mean?
12:47Look, we're at the bar, sing up.
12:49So's he.
12:51Oh, yeah.
12:52Let's, uh, let's get him somewhere more private.
12:56Not the main entrance, please, Inspector.
13:11I'm sorry we can't be more discreet.
13:13May I suggest the service corridor?
13:15Oh, yes.
13:16Yes.
13:17Thank you, Mr. Kind.
13:18Uh, nothing to stop by reopening the bar tomorrow, I think.
13:20Oh.
13:26Thank you, sir.
13:49Good evening, sir.
13:50Evening.
13:50You have a reservation?
13:52Uh, no, my wife does.
13:54Your wife?
13:56This is book.
13:56Have you seen her?
13:57I'm afraid she may be distressed.
13:59No book.
14:00Oh.
14:00504, ready?
14:02Uh, no, I'll keep this one.
14:05What's happened, darling?
14:06What's this about a corpse?
14:07Why have I been scouring my stacks?
14:09It looks like a Vulcan blood feud.
14:11Oh, I'm not proud of myself.
14:13There was champagne.
14:15A day at the races, riddle me re in the 2.30.
14:19Cocktails, more cocktails than then.
14:22Trotty, we live our own lives.
14:25That was always the deal.
14:26Self-flagellation is never helpful.
14:28Not nearly as much fun as someone doing it to you.
14:31Who was he?
14:33Victor.
14:34Or.
14:35Or.
14:36With two R's.
14:37Naval captain, married, I'd met him before.
14:39In an air raid, 41.
14:42He, uh, made a pass at me in...
14:45In...
14:45Where?
14:46Please don't make me say the F word.
14:49Foils.
14:50Yes.
14:51Oh, Trotty.
14:52I just fancied a good time.
14:55Well, there's nothing wrong with that.
14:56He turned out to be the most awful bore.
14:58Where is he now?
14:59In the morgue.
15:01Oh.
15:02One last night on the tiles.
15:04And there's something else.
15:06Book.
15:07Thank God you're here.
15:08You ready?
15:09For what?
15:09To interview royalty.
15:11It's a little irregular, isn't it?
15:13I don't care.
15:14They terrify me.
15:14I'm not going in there alone.
15:16Haven't you taken their fingerprints?
15:18I've not got Morris to do that.
15:19I may be a coward, but I'm not a fool.
15:22I have our primary text.
15:24The Canoon of Scutari.
15:25Oh, yeah.
15:26Looks expensive.
15:27Will it pay for our suite, Inspector?
15:29Oh, the late captain had taken care of that, Mrs. Book.
15:33You're in the room next to the princesses.
15:35Oh, what are they like?
15:36Oh, they're glamorous in a sort of disappointed and stateless kind of way.
15:41Perhaps it's time I kept a closer eye on them.
15:43And an ear, too.
15:45I shall use one of those little glasses they keep by the sink.
15:47So, will this help us find who've done it?
16:00It's a book of customary laws for remote mountain communities without a magistrate or justice.
16:05The village elders consult the text and then tell you how much reiki to provide for your daughter's wedding,
16:10what to do if your bees escape and build a nest on your labor's land, that sort of thing.
16:15And who you're allowed to kill if somebody kills your cousin.
16:19Well, what language did you think it was going to be in?
16:28Well, we have three native speakers on the premises, but they're all suspect.
16:31Who's the third?
16:32Oh, he's a rather good-looking cocktail waiter.
16:35Well, don't fret too much.
16:37The dutiful Teutonic scholar did publish a translation of it in the German.
16:40Oh, well, you certainly speak the German.
16:42In his sleep sometimes.
16:44So, where is this translation?
16:46Nora's looking for it now.
16:47It must be somewhere in the law section or social science or etiquette or propping open the door.
16:53You certainly do something else?
16:55Yes.
16:55These princesses have been given gainful employment to one of the capitals dispossessed.
17:01Oh, yes.
17:03I know.
17:10And there he is.
17:14I'll, uh, turn down the bedspread.
17:16Sergeant Morris will be along soon to take a statement.
17:19Yes, of course.
17:20I'd be grateful, Mrs. Book, if you didn't leave the hotel.
17:23It's perfectly all right, Inspector.
17:25You have to do your duty.
17:35Here to see their royal highnesses.
17:40Oh, dog.
17:49Where is it?
17:51Green.
17:52Straight-grained.
17:53Morocco-bound folio with a lot of academic monographs bound inside.
17:58Slightly foxed according to the catalogue.
18:04You're no help.
18:05What would I do without you?
18:25Oh, what would I do without you?
18:25Oh, please.
18:46Oh, please.
18:47Time for a little chat, Mrs. Book.
19:12Poof.
19:14I beg your pardon?
19:16I apologise.
19:17I apologise for it, that we have sunk so low.
19:23Remember the great banqueting table through here, hmm?
19:25Chairs made with birch, as silvery as the snow on the mountaintops.
19:31Upholstered with the masks of soil.
19:33We've been in more awkward situations than this, haven't we, Inspector?
19:37That we have book.
19:38So, which is the policeman?
19:40You or this book?
19:42He's taking notes for me.
19:44Helping with the pitman's shorthand.
19:46So useful.
19:48Tall and red-headed.
19:50Like the poppies of our homeland.
19:52I realise that this will be very difficult for you, your Royal Highnesses.
19:59But if there's any detail you can recall, however small, it may help us discover who killed Captain Orr.
20:05That is easy.
20:06I killed him.
20:08So it's...
20:08He did what?
20:09It is true.
20:11I switched the glasses, he drank the poison, meant for one of us.
20:16We have a routine, my sister and I, to cause a distraction.
20:19I salute the house of Scutari.
20:22Whichever commissar lives in there, take a good look, Trotty.
20:26That's what happens to you if you get dethroned by the Reds.
20:28Oh, oh dear.
20:31It's so embarrassing.
20:32I do apologise.
20:33Not at all, not at all.
20:35Look after the pennies, and the pounds will look after themselves.
20:38What?
20:40It is a habit, a necessary precaution.
20:43Like this.
20:44This was the third attempt on our life since we left New York.
20:50There was a steward on the Berengaria.
20:52Can I turn over your room, madame?
20:55So transparent.
20:56And that Salvation Army woman outside the opera, shaking her tin box.
21:01She denied everything, of course.
21:03Who do you think is trying to kill you?
21:05The communists, of course.
21:07Opera?
21:08But they already have your palaces, your estates.
21:10Our summer house on the Adriatic.
21:13Look, there is a lake there.
21:15When the rising sun touches it, it is like the blush.
21:19In the spring, our country was proclaimed a people's republic.
21:23They want...
21:24What's the expression?
21:25A big finish.
21:27Ha!
21:29Hence the bodyguard.
21:31And how are you finding him?
21:32As he failed to prevent an attempt on our lives,
21:35I would say he has not covered himself in glory.
21:38Don't the communists also have your other sisters?
21:42We do not speak of her.
21:44Senille.
21:44Yes, the youngest.
21:45She renounced her title.
21:46We do not speak of her.
21:48Red scum.
21:49She betrayed her birthright.
21:51Her country.
21:52Her family.
21:56Take it.
21:57Of course, if this does turn out to be the case,
22:02then your switching of the drinks will not be without consequence.
22:05We are used to being pilloried.
22:07We will take whatever comes to us.
22:09Right.
22:10Right.
22:11Now then, in your statement,
22:13you said something about this murder being written about
22:15in the Canoon of Scutari.
22:17What does that mean?
22:18It means that the killing like this
22:20follows certain customary principles.
22:23It means the first thing you must do
22:25is arrest that cocktail waiter.
22:27Ismail Ghazili.
22:28Ghazili.
22:29Ghazili.
22:30Ghazili.
22:31Ghazili.
22:32Why?
22:33He's from the mountains.
22:34These people know the rules of revenge.
22:36They are obsessed with them.
22:37You must arrest him.
22:38And you must bring in any others on the staff.
22:42Of a mountain man?
22:44Yes.
22:44Well, thank you so much.
22:50This has been most helpful.
22:52So you will do as we say?
22:53No, I will not.
22:55Why?
22:56Because, Princess, I am not your subject.
22:58And in this country, a man is innocent until proven guilty.
23:02Whatever altitude he was born at.
23:11Sometimes, Inspector, you make me proud to be from the gutter.
23:14I never really thought of myself as a Republican.
23:20Well, it's the war, but it changed the sort.
23:23I never really thought of myself as a Jew.
23:26You ever come here during the Blitz?
23:29They had to let you in if there was a radon, even without a tie.
23:33We used to come down to the lower bar.
23:36It's known as the Fruit Cellar.
23:39That was quite the mixed grill.
23:40Well, I have some things to change the towel.
23:55you did nothing you're supposed to be my boyfriend and you did nothing
24:16what do you expect me to do nothing
24:19is he the one from this morning yeah came at me in a silk dressing gown with everything pointed north

26:27hey suppose i usually take all that aggression out on the ice cubes
26:33book for miss the book oh it's the canoe of scutari
27:01it's albania
27:04missus book's out of the picture you can't be certain of that sir i've read a statement and i'm
27:17satisfied it's nothing to do with her but sir i'm satisfied maurice
27:21clear
27:23so you think it was one of us i don't think anything yet signor barberini okay well i've narrowed it down
27:38to two a royal member of the house of scutari
27:41now fear or who here right oh method poison something slipped into the cocktail glass after
27:48he tried it on with the d rattle that's the chamber made yes so where was she when captain or coughed his
27:54last i'm gone already motive you think of any reason why anyone would want to kill captain victor or
27:59are you kidding that captain was always here with different women usually in the same room
28:04504
28:06really
28:07city view noise there's bed springs duchess raid for favorite patrons and that captain has been coming
28:15here for years usually once a week without squeak you're very well informed no secrets at the
28:20walsingham sir we see all the dirty there because we have to clean it some might say mr gazillion that
28:28it's the duty of a grand hotel to make sure that the private life of a guest remains private and some
28:33might say inspector in a grand hotel people are usually at it like cod in a bucket so it's a crime
28:39of passion then no i reckon the captain was something in intelligence during the war how do you know that
28:48they're a type friendly but tell you nothing with a drink they'll always have what the other person's
28:56having so uh why would the princesses want to kill a british spy because british intelligence
29:02handed over scutari to the communist partisans and the captain recognized the princesses
29:13who are they should i know them
29:17balkans same to you
29:22now fear and rughia princesses of the royal house of scutari deposed by the communists and now
29:32drifting around the world like flotsam very glamorous flotsam wasn't there a scandal they did a
29:39flit and the bullion from the national bank somehow found its way into their hat boxes
29:46something of the sort
29:49and they're drifting our way or your way be precise oh i see in the market for a set of dictionaries
29:59uh they're staying at the walsing just down the road from you and uh there have been letters
30:08threats vicious ones you should speak to the post office then we'd be ever so grateful if you just
30:18kept an eye on them i told you you're just a bookseller and i told
30:30i reminded you that we helped find young jack it wasn't easy
30:46so it's you it's me ta for you know i don't mention it
31:05so does that happen a lot then does it
31:15comes with a job doesn't it can i do you now sir
31:21i wouldn't have killed him for it though somebody did yeah so which side are you on
31:30well what are the options well there's the management in this hotel who treat their staff
31:41like muck and give a girl a mouthful just for standing up for herself right then there's the
31:49workers okay well the workers then nice to hear your expression of solidarity brother but it's
31:56deeds not words that count don't you think right so why don't you go down there to that taxi stand
32:04get me a nice cup of bovril
32:08i can't maybe later i just gotta get back to their royal bloody highnesses i'm afraid so
32:16how does it feel working for those parasites is that what they are well what would you call them
32:30sad i suppose yeah a bit sad well speaking for myself i'd line them up shoot the boogers
32:46so
32:55so
33:01so
33:07I can say a proper hello to you now, Edmundkind.
33:20Good evening.
33:21More than kind, I used to say.
33:24Oh, well, that's too kind.
33:26They closed it, you know, the lower bar.
33:29The fruit cellar.
33:31Oh, what a shame.
33:32Yes, for redecoration.
33:34Though when the work will actually start, I don't know.
33:37Seems they prefer it mothballed, the management.
33:39You mean it's all still there, the mural and everything?
33:42Oh, yes.
33:43Well, you could take a look, if you'd like.
33:47I should really be getting back upstairs.
33:50Of course.
33:54I suppose a little peep wouldn't hurt.
33:58Well, the question is, how the lights work?
34:10I don't remember there being any.
34:11You never turned them off.
34:13Blackhead, I suppose.
34:14No, no, it was just terribly unfluttering.
34:17Yes, you're right.
34:19Let's turn them off.
34:20It's just a soup song.
34:26These walls could talk.
34:28Kim Strang is dead.
34:44Did you hear?
34:45Kim Strang.
34:47He used to keep his Max Factor in a gas mask box.
34:51Well, he'd been in Egypt, hadn't he?
34:53Had to keep that tan up.
34:56What happened to him?
34:57He walked into the sea at shore.
34:59I'm sorry to say.
35:00Somebody had his letters.
35:03Dreadful, really.
35:05Dreadful.
35:05And you're very married, I see.
35:09Very, very married.
35:10Congratulations.
35:12And thanks for your help with the other matter.
35:15Not at all.
35:15What does Jack know?
35:18That my wife and I have an arrangement,
35:20as I knew his late father.
35:22Nothing more?
35:23He found that difficult enough to take,
35:25ran out on us that very night.
35:26Hmm.
35:27Floated here.
35:28Where he is gainfully employed, thanks to you.
35:30And able to keep an eye on the other bodies
35:32floating around the regal scutari ones.
35:36Why do you need to keep an eye on those?
35:38Well, it's possible they were the intended victims.
35:41Not the captain.
35:42It's a working hypothesis.
35:44Are you with the police now, Gabriel?
35:46You always were a dark horse.
35:49It makes up a substantial part of my charm.
35:51Christ, isn't that dangerous?
35:53I mean, one false step.
35:55I am all too well aware of that, Edmund.
35:58Although I do have a special letter from Churchill.
36:02Still, you probably shouldn't be found
36:04in a dimly lit basement bar with...
36:06With a terribly handsome old friend.
36:09No, perhaps not.
36:12Top of the grid.
36:14And the wall cinema isn't connected to the grid.
36:16It has its own oil-powered generators.
36:18They bring it in by the barrel.
36:20Everything depends on it, even the plumbing.
36:22And what's a grand hotel without power
36:24and hot-running water?
36:26Well, I suppose it's just a big building
36:28full of people who are rather cold
36:30and made them rather hungry
36:31and very, very rich.
36:35I should get back.
36:40Me too.
36:41No big surprises on the poison front, Inspector.
37:11The deadly glass contained
37:12boring old hydrochloric acid.
37:14Oh, it can't all be virtue, I say.
37:17Virtue, I see.
37:19With a thumbprint.
37:20Enough for an arrest.
37:22Enough for a hanging, maybe.
37:33Okay, thank you.
37:34Bye.
37:35Where's Edie Randall?
37:38Oh, um, I'll check.
37:42Very good, sir.
37:43Could the blessed sergeant get everything
37:57he required from you, dear?
37:59Well, I took him through it in exhausting detail.
38:02Where did you get to?
38:04I mean, talking to the staff.
38:05Oh, yes, very nice of you.
38:07The ones who served you cocktails tonight.
38:09Well, it was really only the younger one.
38:11Guzzili.
38:12If you say so.
38:13Apparently, he poured a whole round down the sink,
38:16ice, some fruit and all.
38:18Could he have tampered with the second round?
38:20Yes.
38:21Nobody was looking because of the brouhaha.
38:24Brouhaha?
38:26Yes.
38:26One of the princesses dropped her reticule.
38:28There was loose change all over the floor.
38:30Yes, I've heard about that.
38:31And after the brouhaha?
38:32Well, I dragged Victor back to the bar.
38:35He made a toast.
38:36And then there was the furore.
38:38A brouhaha and then a furore?
38:41It was very confusing.
38:42Oh, and there was a woman.
38:47A woman?
38:48I've just remembered.
38:49She handed me a cloth.
38:51Like St. Veronica on the road to Calvary.
38:53To mop up Victor Orr's trousers.
38:56There was something about the look she gave me.
38:58Poor Victor.
39:03People were recoiling in pure horror.
39:05It was burning his neck out, book.
39:07You could hear it crackle.
39:12I'm sorry you had a beastly time.
39:21I just wanted to get Stinker and wake up somewhere with clean sheets and three egg omelets.
39:27I wanted something.
39:30So I wanted him.
39:34I do love you, Mrs. Book.
39:38Ditto.
39:41Book.
39:43Yes.
39:46We never really talk.
39:48Talk?
39:49About the arrangement.
39:51What to talk about?
39:52Well, to see that all's well, that we're both okay.
39:57All is well.
39:58Look, you left a light on for me.
40:05I could be making love in this.
40:09In the dark.
40:12Has anyone told Victor Orr's wife?
40:15It's not like she was expecting him to come home.
40:18Do you know who she is?
40:19I don't really know who he was.
40:23Still.
40:25I suppose he did get us a night here.
40:28Isn't it marvelous?
40:30Hmm.
40:31No clouds tonight.
40:33Hmm.
40:33No way for the stars to hide.
40:36We never really had a proper honeymoon, did we?
40:39Bit of a diary clash.
40:40The Luftwaffe had their hearts set on Eastbourne, too.
40:43Beach was very pebbly, anyway.
40:45And covered in barbed wire.
40:46It doesn't worry you, though.
40:49Disappoint you.
40:51What?
40:52The absence of landmarks, declarations, grand gestures.
40:59Oh, no, look.
41:01In fact, I'm going to make one now.
41:03Who is?
41:04Let's order a bloody, huge bottle of champagne.
41:11I've got our papers.
41:31Stamford's signed.
41:32Tickets, too.
41:33Can't you do anything discreetly, my love?
41:35Now, five minutes till it leaves.
41:40Platform six.
41:42We're going to be in Paris for breakfast.
41:44There are no Nazis in Paris, but there are questions also.
41:47It's all going to be fine.
41:52I can't come with your book.
41:55For the same reason that you must leave.
41:57Oh, and I must return this to you, my, my, my, my.
42:26My dear fellow.
42:32I love a good book.
42:35A beautiful book.
42:39And how easy it is to picture myself on some winter evening in the country, lying with this particular book.
42:51It moves me so much.
42:59But I'm afraid I cannot keep it.
43:04I know it's royalties.
43:08And some books get burned, you know.
43:10And I should not like to be responsible for the loss of this one.
43:20Because it is so dear to me.
43:24That I know it by heart.
43:25Henceforth, wherever thou mayest roam,
43:46My blessing.
43:50Like a line of light.
43:54It's on the waters, day and night.
43:59And like a beacon guards the home.
44:01This is the last passage of the people of Paris.
44:03This is the last passage of the people of Paris.
44:06Of life next.

45:53I'm doing the rounds, explaining about the situation.
46:12Be so good as to move around a little less silently to rouse a suspicion.
46:16Forgive me, Your Royal Highness. It's my training, you see.
46:19It's mine too.
46:20An engineer is investigating. I do apologize for any inconvenience.
46:27We are accustomed to hardship.
46:30What are you carrying? Show me.
46:33This is the Canoon, the Canoon of Scutari. Why do you have this?
46:37I'm taking it to Mr. Book, in the next room. He's helping the police.
46:41This is most interesting. Continue.
46:45Well, he's a sort of expert witness, and he's staying here with his wife, who I believe...
46:49I meant...continue on your way.
46:54Good night.
46:55Oh, I thought you were a bottle of out of spiriting.
47:13A book for Mr. Book.
47:15What is it, dear?
47:16It was that book you wanted.
47:18Oh, very good.
47:19The lights were on the blink up here.
47:21An engineer is investigating. I do apologize for any inconvenience.
47:26Is there anything more I can do for you?
47:29Well, tracking down our champagne would be nice.
47:31Of course.
47:37Extraordinary, man. Smells nice, though.
47:40Gardenia.
47:41Capital.
47:42Just what we need.
47:43They're taking their time with that champagne, aren't they?
47:47I think they're having trouble below with the generators.
47:51You don't need champagne, do you, Book?
47:54Just anything with footnotes.
47:56And the bibliography.
47:58Maybe an erratum slip.
48:01I used to love this place, you know.
48:09In the war, the rooms were cheap.
48:1035 shillings a night.
48:12Well, the ones nearest the V2s, anyway.
48:15Always plenty of life down in the bar.
48:19A bit too much, sometimes.
48:22And now the Walsingham is listing.
48:24Like an old ship.
48:26Well, I'd like to smash a bottle against it.
48:31Here we go.
48:31Hmm.
48:35Ugh.
50:45But who killed Captain Victor Orr? Princess, waiter, maid or more?
50:51Who came to sound the final knell for the dear old Walsingham Hotel?
50:59Well then...
51:09That's that.
51:12What was that?
51:18Edith! Edith!
