Part 1 of 6 of the 1987 mystery. Carl Sillmans, a merchant bankers firm midway through an expected merger with Dinslow Chemical Industries, is thrown into turmoil when their manager Charles Makepeace is found murdered in his locked office. His flask had been poisoned, and as Superintendent Thorne investigates he finds there are a surprising amount of people who may of wanted him dead. His wife, for example, who they learn he was planning to divorce for his mistress Stella Tyson. Then there is his work colleague John Field, who learned that day he was to be turned down for promotion for a American arriving later that day, Dan Maitland, son of a rival banking firm. And then there was the mysterious phone call he received the evening he died threatening him that suggests something far darker was going on at the merchant bankers than anyone realized...

03:00Keep going.
04:48Money.
04:49Just let 10 million three-month DM to Japan at $1,16 over the market.
04:51What's that given?
04:53A little bit helps.
05:08And now for the good news.
05:11You'll have some help with the Dinslow takeover.
05:15The bid will go ahead even if it's contested.
05:18I'll have overall control.
05:20For the first and last time, I shouldn't wonder.
05:24Yes, you'll have your future boss to help you.
05:28My what?
05:30Daniel Maitland.
05:33The American. He's not due for another month.
05:36Been put forward.
05:39Why do you call him my future boss?
05:42Not immediately, of course.
05:45But when I retire...
05:48Charles, I'm number two in corporate finance.
05:52John, you're priceless.
05:58Dan Maitland's father owns one of the ten biggest banks in America.
06:04You went to a comprehensive in the East End, didn't you?
06:10Bet I'm still number two.
06:12I doubt if you will be after Maitland gets here, old boy.
06:16Sir Max knows the importance of breeding in merchant banking.
06:24When I first came to the city, you'd have been lucky to get a job as office boy.
06:28Time's changed, Charles.
06:30Nina, would you come in, please?
06:32Yes, Mr. Maitland.
06:34It's probably a mistake, but I don't give a toss.
06:36I've been the real head of this department for at least a year.
06:39You're way past it, Charles.
06:43You get the credit for work that I actually do.
06:46Now, I haven't said anything to Sir Max yet, but if you try to promote Maitland over my head,
06:50he's going to learn about some of your really stupid cock-ups.
06:54I've been with Sir Max for 30 years.
06:57No one is closer to him than I.
07:00And he'll listen to me when I tell him that you are not fit to head this department.
07:06We shall see.
07:20John Field, isn't it?
07:33Kate.
07:34I recognized you straight away.
07:37That's pretty good, don't you think?
07:39Considering how long it's been.
07:41Yeah, I know.
07:42I'm sorry.
07:44I missed you.
07:46You tell me I'm free and then you chase after me.
07:49You want to sit down?
07:53Yeah.
08:01How's work?
08:02You know?
08:04Work.
08:19Oh, how's your game?
08:20It's a walk-ins game now, is it?
08:21It's to a banker.
08:22Yeah.
08:23I've got a pretty tricky takeover coming up.
08:24So you'll be spending...
08:25I'm going to be spending nights in town again.
08:26Yes.
08:27Tell me about it.
08:28I'm not bloody lying, though.
08:29You know, we could see a lot more of each other if you wanted.
08:30Lucky old me.
08:31Who's the bidder?
08:32Who's going to bed with who?
08:33I'll tell you.
08:34We'll both be done for collusion, you know.
08:35Who's the bidder?
08:36Who's going to bed with who?
08:37How about it?
08:38I don't know, John.
08:39I don't know, John.
08:40I don't know.
08:41I don't know.
08:42You know, we could see a lot more of each other if you wanted.
08:46Lucky old me.
08:47Who's the bidder?
08:48Who's going to bed with who?
08:49Who's going to bed with who?
08:51I tell you.
08:52I'll tell you.
08:53We'll both be done for collusion, you know.
08:56How about it?
08:57I don't know, John.
08:58Don't be surprised if one day you snap your fingers and no one comes running.
09:02Meanwhile...
09:03How about it?
09:04I don't know, John.
09:08Don't be surprised if one day you snap your fingers and no one comes running.
09:15Meanwhile, take those silly glasses off.
09:26It'd be nice to see my wife.
09:28I am astonished that you still won't accept what I say.
09:35What? You know damn well it wasn't my fault.
09:39I've had enough of this.
09:42I'll ring you back in a moment, Nina.
09:45If there's any more harassment from you or anyone connected with you, I shall go straight to the police.
09:50I warn you.
09:58Mr. Paley's been holding for you, sir.
10:17I'm sorry. I can't take it now.
10:19He says it's urgent.
10:22I'll speak to him in the morning.
10:24I'm so sorry, Mr. Paley. He's been called away urgently.
10:36He'll ring you first thing in the morning.
10:38Yes, I'm sorry.
10:39Goodbye.
10:39Goodbye.
10:39Goodbye.
11:05The 1807 to Heriford will depart from Platform 4, Colington, Oxford, Charlesbury, Kingdell,
11:18Mowlin Marsh, Honeywell, Eapsham, Pershaw, Worcester, Scrum Hill, Worcester 4, 8th Street,
11:26Great Hall, Wichita, Commonwealth, Lebris and Heriford.
11:35The 1807 to Heriford.
12:05Isn't it marvellous?
12:24Bring back the magic lantern.
12:25Come on.
12:26Come on.
12:27Come on.
12:28Come on.
12:29Come on!
12:30Come on!
12:31Here we go!
12:32And they're over there!
12:33Last inch!
12:34Yes!
12:35I want a real pony!
12:36I want a real pony!
12:37I want a real pony.
12:44Oh, do you? Well, you'd better ask your mum.
12:46Come on, darling, it's bedtime.
12:48But I don't want to get away. I want a real pony.
12:51No buts. Upstairs. Come on.
12:54You'd better have a bath as well. You're a fine old mess, aren't you?
12:57Can I have a pony, Mummy?
12:59Upstairs.
13:01Oh, all right, but discuss the matter with Daddy, would you?
13:03Daddy, discuss the matter with Daddy?
13:10Where'd she pick that up?
13:11I've no idea.
13:13Must be your side of the family, Mellor.
13:16You know what she said to me the other day?
13:19Might you buy me a pony, Daddy?
13:23Can she have one?
13:25Oh, I'd be petrified.
13:27Anyway, who'd look after it?
13:31Well, you made your mind up, then.
13:33I'm just tired of feeling useless.
13:37Well, if that's what you want.
13:39They've offered me that consultancy at Oxford General.
13:43This came this morning.
13:51Fine.
13:51Fine.
13:51Fine.
14:01Fine.
14:01Fine.
14:10I wish you wouldn't read at the table.
14:31I've got another takeover coming up.
14:34Why are these huge firms perpetually trying to gobble each other up?
14:39Gobble what?
14:40Why are they trying...
14:41You heard what I said.
14:45All kinds of reasons.
14:47Greed, efficiency.
14:51Sometimes just for something to do.
14:55Last time I hardly saw you for six weeks.
14:57Well, this could take longer.
15:04Or less.
15:05Which would you prefer?
15:06There are two chemical companies.
15:17Dinslow and Fain and Browning.
15:19Our clients at Dinslow.
15:20They're trying to take over Fain and Browning.
15:21All right?
15:23Well, Fain and Browning have got a bloody awful environmental record.
15:28Anyway, I shouldn't be telling you all this.
15:29Oh, who am I going to tell?
15:33I don't know.
15:33Your doctor friends.
15:38They've both got pharmaceutical divisions and careless talk cost clients.
15:41Oh.
15:41Oh.
15:47So what happens next?
15:49Two chairman meet in the morning to discuss the bid.
15:52Then they argue about it.
15:54Why?
15:56I mean, if it's supposed to be such a good thing, why should Fain and Watson want to argue about it?
16:03So it is just a game.
16:05No, it's not just a game.
16:07It's my job.
16:08So what about this American boy?
16:16Daniel Maitland Jr.
16:18Are they really going to give him the department?
16:20No, they are not going to give him the department.
16:23When Charles goes, I shall be head of corporate finance.
16:26Oh, Jesus.
16:50Good morning.
16:52Oh, God.
16:52Oh, God.
16:56Who are you?
16:58I'm John Field.
17:03Oh, good morning, John.
17:08I'm Dan Maitland.
17:10Dan?
17:13Oh, God.
17:18Where am I?
17:20That's not too stupid a question.
17:22I'll be out of peace, man.
17:24What?
17:25It's our VIP suite.
17:28I tried to rule you here last night, don't you remember?
17:31No.
17:33Fact is, I'm a wet palm flyer.
17:36Always get drunk to Dole the Terror.
17:39Never works.
17:41But it gives me alcoholic amnesia.
17:46Tea?
17:46No, thanks.
17:47I don't drink the stuff.
17:50Well, this is real fine.
17:51Hospitality.
17:53Glad you like it.
17:55You've been assigned to our division, corporate finance.
17:58Are you in charge?
17:59No, no.
18:00Second.
18:01Charles Makepeace is the head.
18:03And I'm the new office boy.
18:05No.
18:05Not with your pedigree.
18:06My dad's a big shot banker.
18:08I'm just a tennis player.
18:11Yeah, I've heard.
18:12Davis Cup, wasn't it?
18:13That's right.
18:16You play?
18:17Oh.
18:18A bit, you know.
18:20Bash your racket around, but I wouldn't call it, well, not what you call it, play, anyway.
18:24Now, look, if you want some breakfast, just ring down.
18:26All right, I'll do that.
18:27And then Sir Max would like to meet you in the office before the strategy comes.
18:33We boys don't hang about.
18:34Oh, we've got a big takeover underway.
18:36Two of our major chemical companies.
18:38We're back in the winter.
18:39I'll leave you with these, all right?
18:40I'll have a look at it.
18:42See you at 10.
18:44All right, fine by me.
18:57I'll have a look at it.
19:27We'll take it.
19:30Well, why not?
19:31Thank you, mate.
19:38A real pretty girl told me you were in here.
19:42Any news in the takeover bid?
19:44Well, the two chairman met an hour ago and agreed to fight it out.
19:48It didn't take long.
19:49No.
19:50It occurred to me that Fane and Browning were trying to soften up Dinslad for a bid.
19:54So, we turned the tables in them.
19:56Got in there first.
19:57Hmm.
19:58Mind you, Fane and Browning are a lot of trouble.
20:02Their ball couldn't even produce a bullish trading statement with a preliminary result.
20:06Is that Dinslad's latest share price?
20:08Yes.
20:10Well, look at that.
20:11So, why reject our bid?
20:12The chairman of Dinslad thinks there's something else behind it.
20:15A rival bid?
20:17Don't think so.
20:18I have no idea.
20:19Well, what else could it be?
20:21I don't know.
20:22Come on.
20:23Sir Max has got a Department of Trade meeting tomorrow.
20:26We'll have to give him a briefing on this.
20:28All right.
20:29Thanks, Joe.
20:31Good morning.
20:45Oh, Mr. Paley.
20:46I'm sorry.
20:47He's not in yet.
20:49Yes.
20:49Yes, I did tell him.
20:51Yes, he'll ring you the minute he gets in.
20:52Yes, I'm so sorry.
20:54Goodbye.
20:54Goodbye.
20:54Goodbye.
20:54Hello, Mrs. McPeace.
21:17Hello, Mrs. McPeace.
21:17Two clear signs, sir.
21:37This is a clear way.
21:39No parking.
21:47I knew your father years ago, a good banker, solid, reliable, and extremely cautious.
21:55I take it you're not the cautious kind, sir Max.
21:57I've taken my chances.
21:59I started at about the same time as your father, and so far I've kept my head above water.
22:05But your father's bank is bigger than mine, much bigger.
22:08He's retired now.
22:09Sir, I heard.
22:10He told me you consult an astrologer.
22:12I do more than consult one.
22:13I keep on on the payroll.
22:15And does it work?
22:15Look, you must ask my competitors.
22:18But if you want to know how lumps of rock millions of miles away affect this planet,
22:21I can only say I have no idea.
22:23Do you understand the universe, Mr. Maitland?
22:25No.
22:25No, of course you don't.
22:27The fact is, even scientists only understand tiny fragments.
22:33The world we know is like a campfire in the middle of a huge forest.
22:39Some people sense the danger, and they're filled with awe and fear.
22:42While others are quite at home in this little circle of flickering light.
22:48They're called materialists.
22:50Some people consider bankers to be materialists.
22:53A vulgar error.
22:54What is most real to most people?
22:58Money.
22:59Only bankers know that it is nothing.
23:02Lumps of inert metal bits of paper.
23:05At bottom, just an illusion ascribing value to that which has none.
23:10Only bankers know how millions can vanish from a balance sheet.
23:14And if the right incantation reappear on another.
23:17Only bankers can see through the walls of money.
23:22And you always do what the astrologer says.
23:25I don't do what anyone says, Mr. Maitland.
23:27My astrologer is simply there to advise me.
23:31He advises me to put you into corporate finance.
23:34It seems your chart predicts you have a great future there.
23:37But I must confess, I am influenced by your tennis-playing ability.
23:43A Davis Cup player is not likely to harm our image.
23:48Now, that really is most annoying.
23:51I gave strict instructions not to be disturbed.
23:55Hello?
23:55Look, I thought...
23:56Who?
23:57Who?
24:07Of course.
24:13Is anything wrong?
24:17Never security.
24:21They've just broken into Charles Makepeace's office and found him dead.
24:31My oldest colleague.
24:35Heart attack, I suppose.
24:37Poor Charles.
24:48I have to send for the police, Sir Max.
24:54You did what?
24:56Without consulting me?
24:59Don't you realise the publicity could harm us?
25:04Yes?
25:05Sir Max, may I come and talk to you, please?
25:06I'm sorry, Sir Max, but I had no choice.
25:08Um, please, one second, Nina.
25:12There are one or two things that worry me.
25:15What things?
25:16Slight bleeding from the nose, mucus in the eyes.
25:19But I think it's important.
25:21Please, please, Nina, will you hold on one minute?
25:28So you don't think it was a heart attack?
25:30I couldn't be sure.
25:31I couldn't be sure.
25:34Alpha 7 confirms suspicious circumstances.
25:38Murder in the mile, eh?
25:39It's not often we have one of those.
25:43Sir, what do we know?
25:43The victim was a Charles Makepeace, head of corporate finance at Car Silman, by the merchant bankers.
25:50Do you know when it happened?
25:52Not yet, sir.
25:53Their security had to break down his office door this morning, so he could have been dead all night.
25:57All right, go and get a car.
26:00I'll just make a phone call.
26:02Oh, uh, Sergeant, will you tell them we're on our way?
26:05Oh.
26:05Hello, Millie?
26:18Hi.
26:19Where are you?
26:20Uh, just past Oxford, I think.
26:23Turn that rubbish off, Millie.
26:24I can't hear a thing.
26:30Look, um, something's come up.
26:32I might be a bit late tonight.
26:33I just thought I'd warn you.
26:34Okay.
26:35I love you.
26:38Well, do you love me?
26:39Oh, yes, of course.
26:41Well, say it, then.
26:44I love you.
26:47Look, I'll see you later.
26:55Have you been on homicide before, Sergeant?
26:57No, sir.
26:58I've just been promoted from the fraud squad.
27:00Right.
27:01Well, you can wipe that grin off your face,
27:03because we've got a corpse to go and meet.
27:19Gentlemen, gentlemen, please.
27:21If we could stay with the takeover, please, gentlemen.
27:23Now, it's interesting to note that Fainham Browning started to think environment,
27:28or at least to run commercials about it, just four months ago.
27:32And that, you will recall, was when the first talk of their vulnerability to a takeover began to circulate.
27:36Now, who are they trying to impress on the environmental issue?
27:40The public, the government, yes, and, of course, their own shareholders.
27:45But most importantly, one particular shareholder, Heritage Trust, has the largest voting bloc.
27:51They will be the key to this takeover.
27:53Now, Fainham Browning will try to convince Heritage that Dinslow are reckless polluters bent on destroying England's green and pleasant land.
28:03So, our job will be just the opposite.
28:06To convince the trust of the truth, that our clients, Dinslow Chemicals,
28:11are one of the most responsible chemical companies in Europe today.
28:13Is that the Scenes of Crimes Office?
28:40Ballantyne here.
28:41Can we have someone over at Carl Silman's straight away?
28:55Why did you smash the lock, Jack?
28:57I didn't, personally.
28:59And why was it smashed?
29:01Only two people know the combination to these locks.
29:03One is the executive that uses the office, and the other one is me.
29:07And I forgot it.
29:08You did what?
29:10I've always relied on my memory.
29:11I mean, security isn't security if it's written down, is it?
29:13Needless to say, I remember the combination as soon as the door burst open.
29:17Right, well, we'll need to have a look at your logbook.
29:20Is there anything else you can tell me?
29:21I'm a locks and alarms man.
29:23Homicide's not in my line.
29:25Sir?
29:25They're on their way.
29:27Good.
29:27Right.
29:27You better stay with the corpse.
29:29Make sure nobody touches anything.
29:31Jack, if you could show me the way to Sir Maxilmer's office.
29:38Kevin, give me the current figures on Fane and Browning.
29:50I've done you a little chart showing you the price rises since closing yesterday.
29:53Let me see.
29:55Rises, huh?
29:56Straight up, like a Harrier.
29:59Spare me a piece of gum?
30:04Thanks.
30:08Charles thought England was in decline, hated changes in class structure, immigration,
30:24things like that.
30:26He was inclined to rub people up the wrong way.
30:29What about his domestic life?
30:31Oh, his wife is a delightful person.
30:34Very good friend of mine.
30:36She was once very successful in business.
30:38Oh, no, they're extremely...
30:40They were extremely happy.
30:46Are you certain that Charles didn't die of natural causes?
30:51It would be premature to say yes, sir, before seeing the post-mortem and forensic reports.
30:57But the medical evidence points that way.
30:59He was a sick man, you know.
31:01How sick?
31:02His heart was engraved as repair.
31:06I think you'll find his doctor will confirm that.
31:10You said he rubbed people up the wrong way.
31:14Enough to make enemies.
31:15Enough to make enemies.
31:15Life to make enemies.
31:32How?
31:33Yes.
31:34I promised I'd tell you.
31:35I don't know.
32:05¶¶
32:35¶¶
33:03Well, if you're going to preach the Gospels that Dinslow's is clean,
33:07I want you to see how we operate.
33:10Maitland.
33:11You wouldn't be Jimmy Maitland's son, by any chance.
33:13That's right.
33:14I stayed with your father last summer at his place just outside Boston.
33:19How did you come to be with Carl Tillman?
33:20I was then, but at the New York office.
33:23You'll be looking after our bid, I take it?
33:24No, I shall be handling the day today, Runny.
33:26Dan will assist me.
33:27there splendid mr field poor old charles was a bit of a shock still he always had a bit of
33:33a dicky ticket didn't he it was a heart attack i take it could have been i liked old charles

35:30no you're right
35:38coming
35:42your favorite
35:52the poison was dissolved in the whiskey in the head flask there was no trace of any other poison
36:03in any container in the office so where do we start there's no way of knowing how long
36:10it's been in the flask unfortunately not you've ruled out suicide you read the post-mortem report
36:18yes good so we start with motive and opportunity who would have had the most opportunity to put the
36:25poison in his flask his wife or his girlfriend does he have a girlfriend sir no one's mentioned it
36:32have they sir max seemed very concerned to defend his domestic probity a little too concerned
36:39so let's go and talk to the ladies shall we sergeant while we're here
36:58so
37:03superintendent is it true my husband was murdered
37:14we've only just established that ourselves mrs makepeace how did you know i talked to sir max
37:21he said he seemed likely in view of what the doctor told him
37:24were you expecting your husband home on tuesday evening well he was a little unpredictable sometimes
37:35i'd been out all day he might have rung to say he wouldn't be back
37:38even so were you not concerned about him no not really well maybe just a bit
37:46you didn't think of ringing anyone or perhaps trying to call him at the office no no i didn't
37:52well he was often called out of town on business at short notice superintendent
38:00there's something i think i ought to tell you
38:04we had a break-in here last week on tuesday did you report it no no i didn't well nothing was taken
38:14we were going out to dinner that is we set out to go out to dinner and when we got near the restaurant
38:22charles said he was tired and he couldn't face it so we came home and when we got back here at
38:27about nine o'clock i knew right away there was something wrong and when i went into the bedroom
38:34i found the window open and the drawers and the cupboards but nothing was taken
38:40in spite of the fact there was jewelry and i remember thinking at the time it was almost as if the thief
38:47was looking for something specific and then when i heard that charles had been poisoned i realized it
38:59it must have been his hip flask the poison was in the hip flask wasn't it superintendent
39:06can you think of anyone who might have wanted him dead no no of course not
39:17no no no no not really you were about to say
39:20well he had a sort of mistress
39:29and she wanted to marry him and he refused he'd finished with her actually
39:35but i can't imagine she'd take that sort of revenge
39:54so
39:59ornamental iron grills is that significant
40:03rich men often lodge their mistresses in flats with ornamental grills
40:07really why is that sir well the block is impersonal it minimizes the risk of scandal
40:14the ornamental grills compensate by providing a touch of delicacy and romance
40:19very impressive sir and probably pure drill
40:37sometimes useful sergeant to sound more perceptive than you really are
40:42who is it miss tyson yes superintendent thorne city police may we come up
40:56you say it's to do with mr makepeace nothing's happened to charlie has it
41:02i'm afraid it has miss tyson well
41:05i'm sorry to have to tell you that mr makepeace is dead
41:13of course two policemen wouldn't have called to tell me he'd caught a cold
41:21when did he die
41:22the light before last
41:24and do you think he's been murdered is that it
41:26we're just carrying out routine investigations miss tyson

42:33Sparrows Sometimes Sing by Daisy Whithers.
42:59You knew, of course, that Mr. Makepeace was married?
43:02Of course. That's why I wouldn't accept his proposal.
43:06Until last week.
43:09You accepted his proposal last week?
43:13For three years, he'd begged me to marry him.
43:16Finally, I agreed.
43:19Did Mr. Makepeace contribute to your expenses?
43:24I'm a successful actress, superintendent, not a kept woman.
43:28Well, Charlie liked giving me money,
43:32so I permitted him to give me small sums from time to time.
43:37Oh, thank you, miss.
43:39What?
43:40Oh, no.
43:42What made you change your mind about marriage?
43:45I found I could no longer contemplate losing him.
43:49Oh, to a lot of people, he was an old grouch.
43:51But to me, he was the most masterful and understanding man in all the world.
43:58So, finally, I agreed to marry him after he'd got his divorce, naturally.
44:04And where did this take place?
44:06In the country.
44:08We'd driven out of town for lunch,
44:10and on the way back into town,
44:12we stopped at a famous beauty spot to admire the view.
44:15Almost as a joke.
44:17Anticipating the usual refusal,
44:18he asked me to marry him,
44:19and taking myself by surprise,
44:21I said, yes, Charlie, I will.
44:24We drank a toast to our future,
44:26then we carried on.
44:31Well, Charlie always carried a hip flask, silver,
44:35that his father gave him.
44:36He kept it filled up with his favourite whiskey.
44:39Didn't hold much.
44:40We finished it in a few sips.
44:42But it was enough.
44:44And when exactly did this occur?
44:47Last week.
44:48Tuesday.
44:50Where was the view?
44:52The view?
44:54The view, Miss Tyson.
44:55The one that you and Mr Makepeace stopped at to admire?
44:58Oh, yes.
44:59Well, we'd had lunch in Wendover,
45:02and the view was about a mile to the south on the London Road.
45:05I remember it particularly,
45:07because Charlie pointed out the house
45:08where Daisy Wilson, the playwright, once lived.
45:14Well, thank you, Miss.
45:15I don't think we need to trouble you anymore today.
45:17Well, do you want to know the name of the restaurant?
45:18I can't remember it at the moment, but I'm...
45:20It won't be necessary just now, Miss.
45:22Mr Manor, you fancy a sergeant?
45:33No.
45:34I just thought she was very upset.
45:36Very convincing, wasn't she?
45:37According to her, she had lunch with Makepeace Tuesday last,
45:48and he proposed to her.
45:50But Mrs Makepeace said her husband had finished with Stella Tyson.
45:54Which means that both ladies could be telling the truth.
45:58Improbable, but not, I suppose, impossible.
46:01It does make a kind of sense, sir.
46:03Mrs Makepeace said her husband couldn't face a meal out.
46:05But if the deceased had arranged to meet his mistress
46:08and spent the afternoon having a spot of hanky...
46:10hanky-panky,
46:12he might well have been too tired.
46:15Let's talk about sex and corpses, shall we, Sergeant,
46:17and try to avoid the euphemisms.
46:28Dinslow Shelton Marsh plant.
46:30And look at this in today's paper.
46:32Another demo?
46:33At another Dinslow plant.
46:34Anything strike you?
46:37Mm-mm.
46:38The man in the centre of this photograph
46:40is also on the right of the video.
46:43Those plants are 100 miles apart.
46:45What puzzles me is who could have known about the demonstration in advance
46:49to arrange the video coverage?
46:52Do you think Fane and Browning?
46:55Might be.
46:55I want to know who hired that video outfit.
47:00Diana?
47:01Yes, Mr Field.
47:02Yes, could you get me the managing director of Dinslow Chemicals, please?
47:05Certainly.
47:09I think we should take a trip up to Stag Hill and have a look.
47:11You know, a lot of people out there.
47:15I've seen that.
47:16I came to see you in the back of the video,
47:17but I was happy to hear you.
47:17I was sad.
47:17I was so happy to hear you.
47:18You know what?
47:18But I was happy to see you.
47:19I had a walk here.
47:19I was happy to see you.
47:20But I was happy to hear you.
47:20I was happy to hear you,
47:21but I was happy to hear you.
47:21You know what I think of both sides are the magic.
