00:00:00ยถยถ
00:00:30ยถยถ
00:01:00Is there anything wrong, miss?
00:01:17Isla, what's the matter?
00:01:18I'm so sorry, but my nerves are going to pieces.
00:01:21Why were you following me?
00:01:22Following you, miss?
00:01:23Yes, following me.
00:01:24Miss Crane asked you a question.
00:01:25I'm afraid the young lady's imagination is getting the better of her, my lord.
00:01:28Don't be impertinent.
00:01:29Someone's put a bolt on the outside of my bedroom door.
00:01:32What for?
00:01:33A bolt?
00:01:34You mean you can be made prisoner in your own room?
00:01:37Yes.
00:01:37Do you know anything about that?
00:01:39A very queer, my lord.
00:01:40Answer my question.
00:01:41I can only repeat.
00:01:42A very queer, my lord.
00:01:44The insolence of you two men is becoming intolerable.
00:01:46Willie?
00:01:49Yes, mother?
00:01:53I want to talk to you.
00:01:55And to you too, Isla.
00:01:56I thought I heard someone scream.
00:02:09Yes, mother, you did.
00:02:09It was Isla.
00:02:10And no wonder.
00:02:11You ought to control yourself.
00:02:12I'm sorry, Lady Lebanon, but there's a limit.
00:02:14Can't you explain?
00:02:15Well, it's this house.
00:02:17I don't know what it is, but there's something about it that's unnerving, that's terrifying.
00:02:21Isla, you're disappointing me.
00:02:23You're just being hysterical.
00:02:24Oh, but I'm not.
00:02:26So we're insolent, are we?
00:02:30Well, I think Isla's perfectly right, mother.
00:02:33This whole place is like a tomb or a condemned cell.
00:02:35Don't talk nonsense.
00:02:36I can't think of on earth Isla sticks it.
00:02:38If you had a mother and two young sisters dependent on your employer for a monthly allowance,
00:02:42you would do precisely what Isla is doing.
00:02:44Well, that's not very sporting, mother.
00:02:45Will you please be quiet?
00:02:47Someone has put a bolt on the outside of Isla's bedroom door.
00:02:52Will you put yourself in her place?
00:02:54If I were in her place, I should take no notice of it.
00:02:57Was that bolt put there on your instructions, Lady Lebanon?
00:03:01No, it was not.
00:03:13Mr. Ferrabi.
00:03:15You can show him in, Gilda.
00:03:16Yes, my lady.
00:03:17Who on earth is Ferrabi?
00:03:18An architect from London.
00:03:19He's come to inspect the Priory with a view to restoration work.
00:03:22About time, too.
00:03:27How do you do, Mr. Ferrabi?
00:03:28How do you do?
00:03:28This is my secretary, Miss Crane, my son.
00:03:31How do you do, Miss Crane?
00:03:31How do you do?
00:03:33How do you do?
00:03:33Take off?
00:03:34Oh, very badly.
00:03:35Good, there's two of us.
00:03:36How about around?
00:03:37Mr. Ferrabi is here on a professional visit.
00:03:40You'll find that certain portions of the house are in urgent need of repair.
00:03:43That's putting it rather mildly.
00:03:44Under no circumstances must the character of the building be altered.
00:03:47I must insist on that.
00:03:48Of course not.
00:03:48I quite agree.
00:03:49Here is a plan of Mark Spraddy.
00:03:51Miss Crane will show you round.
00:03:53Yes, Lady Lebanon.
00:03:57Will your work take long?
00:03:58I expect to finish my examination of the building in about a week.
00:04:08What a marvellous old place this is.
00:04:10Yes.
00:04:11Excuse me, Miss Crane.
00:04:14Could I speak to you a moment?
00:04:16Yes, Jackson.
00:04:16Just one minute.
00:04:18What is it, Jackson?
00:04:19I just wanted to remind you about the fancy dress dance at the Institute.
00:04:22Oh, I haven't forgotten.
00:04:23I expect I'll go for a while.
00:04:25I'm going a sweet nell of old drury.
00:04:27I've got my oranges and everything.
00:04:29I'm sure you'll look lovely, Jackson.
00:04:32Now, Mr. Ferrabi.
00:04:33Well, let's take a look at the plan.
00:04:37I can't see why he has to stay in the village.
00:04:40Why can't we put him up here?
00:04:42He's a very decent sort of fellow and I need some companionship.
00:04:45You cannot stay here.
00:04:46Well, why on earth not?
00:04:47Because I say so.
00:04:48And as for discharging Gilder and Brooks, it's quite out of the question.
00:04:52Everyone notices how those two fellows behave.
00:04:55I'm the laughingstock of the whole village.
00:04:57Has Stud told you that?
00:04:58Stud?
00:04:58No, I wouldn't discuss a thing like that with him.
00:05:01I'm not quite sure.
00:05:02The study's the kind of man I want at Mark's Priory.
00:05:05Why, you're not thinking of dismissing him.
00:05:08I mean, he's an awfully good chauffeur and I like him.
00:05:12I suppose the truth of the matter is he doesn't suit Dr. Amersham.
00:05:15I never consider Dr. Amersham's views.
00:05:17I neither ask his advice nor am I guided by him.
00:05:28I am Iใใ.
00:05:30I don't know.
00:05:56I want you to marry Isla.
00:06:12Marry Isla?
00:06:13She's of the same family.
00:06:14Her grandfather was a younger brother of your grandfather.
00:06:18Well, I suppose I shall have to marry sometime, but...
00:06:21Well, I suppose I shall have to marry.
00:06:51Well, I suppose I shall have to marry you.
00:06:53Carver, tell Stubb there's something wrong with the autovac in my car.
00:06:57The autovac, did you say, sir?
00:06:59Yes, tell him to get it right at once.
00:07:00Certainly, Dr. Emerson.
00:07:01Her ladyship is in the library.
00:07:07Isla is in every way a good match.
00:07:09She's no money, but that doesn't matter.
00:07:10She's of the same blood, and that's all that counts.
00:07:21Mr. Emerson, you asked me to come down to tell me you want him to marry Isla.
00:07:25I had to leave a very sick patient.
00:07:26You have no patience.
00:07:28I doubt whether there's anyone in London foolish enough to employ you.
00:07:31You employ me?
00:07:36Hello.
00:07:38That door handle's rather unique, isn't it?
00:07:40Yes.
00:07:40That's the old Lord Lebanon's room.
00:07:43He died in there after a very long illness.
00:07:46It's locked.
00:07:46It's been locked ever since he died.
00:07:48Lady Lebanon will never allow it to be open.
00:07:50Oh, well, before I get through, I may have to have a look inside.
00:07:52Why doesn't he get a chauffeur to do his own dirty work?
00:07:58I'm afraid I don't know.
00:07:59What a gentleman, eh?
00:08:01And what a doctor.
00:08:02If a ladyship knew as much as I know, he wouldn't last five minutes in this place.
00:08:07Indian Army, eh?
00:08:08I can tell you a few things about the Indian Army.
00:08:22Hello, Stud.
00:08:36Good afternoon, my lord.
00:08:37Do you want your car?
00:08:38No.
00:08:39Dr. Amersham called.
00:08:41I thought I'd come out for a breath of fresh air.
00:08:42Hmm, I know.
00:08:44Oh, he's doing himself proud, ain't he?
00:08:46Makes mine look pretty shabby, doesn't it?
00:08:48Cost a couple of thousand if it cost a penny.
00:08:50You wanted me?
00:08:52Where's his lord, you?
00:08:53Out in the garage, talking to Stud.
00:08:55All right, you're locked.
00:09:00Stud must go.
00:09:01He's been repeating village gossip.
00:09:03Yes, the sooner he goes, the better, I should say.
00:09:05Well, I'll be getting back.
00:09:06I want you to stay.
00:09:07No, I've rather an important appointment.
00:09:09I want you to stay.
00:09:10I've had a room prepared for you.
00:09:13Well, it will if you insist.
00:09:15By the way, this marriage, what's I look like to say about it?
00:09:17I haven't spoken to her yet.
00:09:22By the way, did you ever meet Stud in India?
00:09:24He was stationed at Delhi.
00:09:26Delhi?
00:09:27When?
00:09:27I don't know, but from what I've heard, he's told people he knew you, though.
00:09:30If her ladyship knew as much as I know, she wouldn't let him inside the house.
00:09:37Why, what do you know about him?
00:09:38At the right time, I'll have a few words to say.
00:09:44Did you know him in India?
00:09:46Oh, I knew him, all right.
00:09:48Oh, good Lord, here he comes.
00:09:49I'm off.
00:09:49Goodbye.
00:09:50Goodbye.
00:09:50Well, Stud, my car finished?
00:09:55No, it isn't.
00:09:56I'm afraid it won't be until the morning.
00:09:58I'm going to dance.
00:09:59Who gave you permission?
00:10:00I don't need permission.
00:10:02It's my night off.
00:10:03I think you'd better start looking for another job, Stud.
00:10:06Oh, and who are you to tell me to look for another job?
00:10:09And what sort of job, Doctor?
00:10:10Signing other people's names on checks?
00:10:13If I get another job, it'll be an honest job.
00:10:15It won't be robbing a brother officer.
00:10:16You can take that from me.
00:10:17What the devil are you talking about?
00:10:18Are you off your head?
00:10:19You know what I'm talking about, all right.
00:10:21And whatever job I take, I shan't be pinched for it or go up for trial for it or be kicked
00:10:24out of the army for it.
00:10:25You keep your filthy mouth shut.
00:10:27I'll keep my mouth shut until I choose to open it.
00:10:42Your costume is very striking, Stud, as I may say, sir.
00:10:45Oh, do you think so, Miss Crane?
00:10:46I brought her back from India with me.
00:10:48I think your wife looks perfectly exquisite, Mr. Tilling.
00:10:52Yes.
00:10:53And you made it yourself.
00:10:54How very clever are you.
00:10:57Swiss, isn't it?
00:10:58No doubt you're supposed to be.
00:11:00Dear, dear, dear, what is the matter with me?
00:11:02Of course.
00:11:03Thank you, Miss Crane.
00:11:27Thank you, Stud.
00:11:28Well, that was very jolly.
00:11:33And now we're going to have a gentleman's excuse me dance.
00:11:38Excuse me.
00:11:40Can I have this dance, please?
00:12:00Yes, certainly.
00:12:05May I this dance, please?
00:12:07Do you mind, Jim?
00:12:08Of course he doesn't mind.
00:12:10Why does one come to a dance?
00:12:12To dance, surely.
00:12:16Bless me, I promise to help with the refreshments.
00:12:18And here I stand listening to your talk.
00:12:20Who knows your old man's as happy as ever?
00:12:27He's so jealous.
00:12:28He frightens me.
00:12:29Him?
00:12:30You should worry.
00:12:31It's all very fine for you.
00:12:33You don't have to live with me.
00:12:34And neither will you much longer.
00:12:40Excuse me.
00:12:41Excuse me.
00:12:42I'm afraid this is called a gentleman's excuse me dance.
00:12:45Oh, is it?
00:12:50After this dance, I'm going out the back for a smoke.
00:12:52Come out as quickly as you can.
00:12:53What was Jim here?
00:12:54I can't.
00:12:55You must.
00:12:55It's most important.
00:12:56Only for a minute.
00:12:57I've got to talk to you.
00:12:58Excuse me.
00:13:00Excuse me.
00:13:00Excuse me.
00:13:04So this is nightlife in Mark's Thornsson.
00:13:06You're not broad, are you?
00:13:07Not a bit.
00:13:08It's grand.
00:13:09Excuse me.
00:13:09Excuse me.
00:13:10There she goes.
00:13:37There she goes.
00:13:37I said she'd follow him out.
00:13:40Do you still feel the same about coming away with me?
00:13:44Of course I do.
00:13:46Excuse me.
00:13:49What you say this dance is called?
00:13:51A gentleman's excuse me.
00:13:53Well, I hope I'm a gentleman, but if it goes on much longer,
00:13:55it's going to bring out the beast in me.
00:13:58Excuse me.
00:13:59Ah, excuse us.
00:14:03I must go now.
00:14:04He mustn't see us here together.
00:14:05All right.
00:14:05Same place tomorrow night, 8 o'clock.
00:14:07That's right.
00:14:08Yes, I'm going to find this work very interesting.
00:14:30That is, if Lady Lebanon approves my suggestions.
00:14:32I'm sure she will.
00:14:33It's good to know you're on my side, anyway.
00:14:39There are footmen here.
00:14:40Yes, I remember.
00:14:41One of them opened the door to me.
00:14:43Not very much like footmen, are they?
00:14:45Well, you don't know how they terrify me.
00:14:47Ever since I came...
00:14:48That ghastly sound, what was it?
00:14:52I don't know.
00:14:52It came from over there.
00:14:53I'll go and see what's the matter.
00:14:54I'm coming with you.
00:14:55I'll get a torch.
00:14:56Mr. Harvey!
00:15:24It's done!
00:15:38He's been strangled with his scarf.
00:15:40What puzzles me is that he was strangled with a scarf that came from India.
00:15:53Well, there's one crumb of comfort, Totty.
00:15:55Your brains are on the job.
00:15:57Well, as a matter of fact, this Mark's Priory business is perfectly simple to me.
00:16:00Really?
00:16:00You must be quite a genius.
00:16:01Funny nobody's ever noticed it.
00:16:03There's a lot of jealousy going on in this building.
00:16:05Go in.
00:16:08Oh, take this to records, please.
00:16:10Thank you, sir.
00:16:11Well, come on, Totty.
00:16:12Let's have the deductions of your mastermind.
00:16:15It doesn't require a mastermind to work this one out.
00:16:17Stud's carrying on with the wife of Tilling.
00:16:19Lady Watson's name's head gamekeeper.
00:16:21Tilling is a quarrelsome sort of cuss.
00:16:23Very jealous of his wife, so he strangles Stud.
00:16:26Well, go on.
00:16:27What do you mean, go on?
00:16:29That's all there is to it.
00:16:30Is that so?
00:16:31Well, if it's as simple as all that, why haven't the local police disposed of the case?
00:16:34Search me.
00:16:35No, Totty.
00:16:35There's a lot more in this than meets the eye.
00:16:38Hello?
00:16:39Car's waiting, sir.
00:16:40Right-o.
00:16:40Go on, Totty.
00:16:41I still think Tilling's our man.
00:16:43He'd have used his hands, not an Indian scarf.
00:16:45Oh, well, we'll see.
00:16:47When I get down there, I'm going to keep my ears open.
00:16:48Of course you'll keep your ears open.
00:16:50Nature's made them that way.
00:16:55I understand that the scarf used to kill Stud was handed to you by Mr. Fereby.
00:17:00Yes.
00:17:00And you lost it.
00:17:02I've already explained to about six police officers that I put it in the top left-hand drawer of my bureau.
00:17:07Immediately after, Mr. Fereby and Miss Crane had found the body.
00:17:09A short time afterwards, yes.
00:17:11And yet when the local police arrived, less than 20 minutes later, it had gone.
00:17:15Yes.
00:17:16But how?
00:17:18You were the detective, Mr. Tanner, not I.
00:17:20I don't want to mince words, Lady Lebanon, but your explanation, to say the least, is most unsatisfactory.
00:17:26It is my explanation, nevertheless.
00:17:27That scarf was an extremely valuable clue.
00:17:31Is there anything else you want to ask me?
00:17:34I'm rather anxious to meet Dr. Amersham.
00:17:36Is he likely to be here today?
00:17:37Why, he wasn't here at the time of the crime.
00:17:39He left for London after dinner.
00:17:40Just the same, I'd like to see him.
00:17:45That is Lord Lebanon.
00:17:46Plays rather well, if I may say so.
00:17:49May I meet him?
00:17:49Come this way.
00:17:52This gentleman is from Scotland Yard.
00:18:06Oh, how do you do, officer?
00:18:12That is right, isn't it, officer?
00:18:14I'm Chief Inspector Tanner, Lord Lebanon.
00:18:15Good morning.
00:18:16I beg your pardon, Inspector.
00:18:17Good morning.
00:18:19This is an absolutely dreadful business.
00:18:21He was such a decent fellow.
00:18:23And I hope to goodness you find out who the murderer is.
00:18:25I hope so, too.
00:18:26Well, if I can be of the slightest assistance in any way, don't hesitate to let me know.
00:18:29Is it possible for me to see the gentleman that found the body, Mr...
00:18:32Why, Theraby, of course.
00:18:33Oh, he'll be about the place somewhere.
00:18:35My son will look after you, if you'll excuse me, Mr. Tanner.
00:18:37Certainly.
00:18:37This way, Inspector.
00:18:39Shouldn't be difficult to find him.
00:18:40He must be around the place somewhere.
00:18:44Exchange?
00:18:45Give me Barkley 5555.
00:18:46And quickly, please.
00:18:53Hello.
00:18:54Is that you?
00:18:56Men from Scotland Yard are here.
00:18:58Scotland Yard?
00:19:00It's imperative you should come down this evening.
00:19:02Oh, very well.
00:19:03I'll be there.
00:19:06He was lying here, face downwards.
00:19:08And the scarf, you say, had a little metal tag in one corner?
00:19:10That's right.
00:19:11And some words in Hindustani in another corner.
00:19:12The maker's name, I imagine.
00:19:14I don't think we can gain anything by remaining here.
00:19:17Oh, Isla.
00:19:21Oh, this is Chief Inspector Tanner of Scotland Yard.
00:19:24Miss Crane, my mother's secretary.
00:19:25How do you do?
00:19:26It's about poor Studsdale, isn't it?
00:19:28Yes, I suppose you can throw no light on the matter?
00:19:30No, how could I?
00:19:33It's all been a terrible shock to her, as you can imagine.
00:19:35Yes, I quite understand.
00:19:37Oh, excuse me.
00:19:38Would you mind if I have a word in private with Mr. Tanner?
00:19:40Oh, of course not.
00:19:42Inspector, did my mother by any chance tell you that Dr. Amersham wasn't here when the crime was committed?
00:19:47She said he dined here and left for London early.
00:19:49Why will she persist in saying that?
00:19:50Why, isn't it true?
00:19:52No.
00:19:53Dr. Amersham spent the night here.
00:19:55Are you certain of that, Lord Leberman?
00:19:56Absolutely.
00:19:57You see, I saw him driving off this morning at about seven o'clock.
00:20:01I say, you won't tell anybody I told you, will you?
00:20:03You were bound to find out sooner or later, weren't you?
00:20:09What's the matter?
00:20:10He's been asking questions.
00:20:11Mr. Tanner.
00:20:12The police officer?
00:20:13What questions did he ask?
00:20:14Did he say anything about Amersham?
00:20:17Oh, he didn't mention his name.
00:20:19You must pull yourself together, Isla.
00:20:21Yes, but it's all so dreadful.
00:20:31Well, I appreciate your help very much, Lord Leberman.
00:20:33Good afternoon.
00:20:34Cheerio, Inspector.
00:20:34Good afternoon, my lord.
00:20:35Goodbye.
00:20:36Charmed, I'm sure.
00:20:37I beg your pardon?
00:20:37Yes.
00:20:38Oh, quite.
00:20:40He liked that.
00:20:41I got away with the aristocracy.
00:20:43Now, how to handle them?
00:20:44They're much more interested in your handling of the servants.
00:20:46There's enough in there to fill Wembley Stadium.
00:20:48You've got no information out of them, of course.
00:20:49Not a sausage.
00:20:50But there's an interesting thing that Buckner told me.
00:20:52None of the servants are allowed in the main part of the house after eight o'clock at night.
00:20:55Those two footmen take over.
00:20:58Hmm.
00:20:58That's certainly interesting.
00:21:00Fereby's positive.
00:21:02He saw them in the grounds just before he heard the scream.
00:21:04You mean the footmen?
00:21:04Yes.
00:21:05What'd they got to say for themselves?
00:21:06Oh, they admitted it.
00:21:07Said they were out for a bit of fresh air.
00:21:08Saw nothing, heard nothing.
00:21:10Run blokes.
00:21:11But I don't think they were sprucing.
00:21:12Why?
00:21:13Because I'm sure Tillin's our man.
00:21:14Well, I'm not.
00:21:15Anyhow, we're going to see him now.
00:21:17Did Stud ever hint to you that he had an enemy?
00:21:19Somebody who might do him an injury?
00:21:21No, he didn't.
00:21:22Well, let me put it like this.
00:21:23Did Stud, to your knowledge, before his death, do anything to incur the displeasure of someone else?
00:21:29What did I know of?
00:21:30You and your husband quarrelled on the way back from the dance, didn't you?
00:21:33Yes.
00:21:33About Stud?
00:21:34Yes.
00:21:35You ever threatened to kill him?
00:21:36Oh, he was in a temper.
00:21:38I expect we both said things we didn't mean.
00:21:41Stud was a friend of yours, wasn't he?
00:21:44Did you hear my question?
00:21:46I asked you if Stud was a friend of yours.
00:21:48I was going to run away with him.
00:21:49That's the truth.
00:21:50What are you doing here?
00:21:54We're from Scotland Yard.
00:21:57What are you asking my wife?
00:21:59Questions.
00:22:00I now propose to ask you some.
00:22:02What do you know about the murder of Arthur Stud?
00:22:04Only what I read in the papers.
00:22:06Can you account for your movements on the night of the crime?
00:22:13Well?
00:22:14Well, I went to the dance at the institute with my wife and came home with her.
00:22:20Did you quarrel with her on the way back?
00:22:22We had some words, yes.
00:22:24What about?
00:22:26It was about her friendship with Stud, wasn't it?
00:22:28Yes.
00:22:29Did you go out again?
00:22:30After you came back from the dance, I mean.
00:22:32I did.
00:22:33Where?
00:22:34Hampstead Woods.
00:22:35Well, at that time of night, why?
00:22:36There's been a lot of poaching there lately.
00:22:38I see.
00:22:39And you saw or heard nothing unusual.
00:22:41No.
00:22:41You had every reason to dislike Stud, hadn't you?
00:22:46He was trying to steal my wife.
00:22:48I'm glad he's dead.
00:22:51That'll be all for now.
00:22:57You haven't seen the last of us, so you needn't think you have.
00:23:11Well, did you write that?
00:23:17Great, sir.
00:23:18It's terrific.
00:23:19But aren't you glad that you're you and not me?
00:23:22How do you mean?
00:23:23Well, you can lead a normal life, marry whom you please.
00:23:25Well, can't you?
00:23:26No, because unfortunately, I'm Lord Lebanon.
00:23:32If I was someone else, I could play in a dance band.
00:23:34Yes, I know.
00:23:35It's bad luck.
00:23:36Condemned to a life of boredom.
00:23:38To marry someone, produce children.
00:23:42The line.
00:23:44I hate the word.
00:23:46It's rather a revolting thought, don't you think?
00:23:48To have to sire children.
00:23:49Not much difference between me and a Derby winner.
00:23:52Have another drink.
00:23:52No, thanks.
00:23:53I must go.
00:23:54I'll be locked out of the White Hart.
00:23:55I hope you're comfortable.
00:23:56Oh, yes, it's a nice old pound.
00:23:57Fine.
00:24:01Well, I hope you haven't been bored.
00:24:02Not a bit.
00:24:02It's been grand.
00:24:03I'll come and see you off.
00:24:04Don't you bother.
00:24:05My car's just outside.
00:24:06Good night.
00:24:06Cheerio.
00:24:07See you in the morning.
00:24:10Oh, hello, Muller.
00:24:12Didn't see you, sitting all alone there.
00:24:17Now, why that fierce look, Muller?
00:24:19Quite a lot of money is missing from my cash box.
00:24:21Two hundred pounds.
00:24:23Do you know anything about it?
00:24:24Yes, as a matter of fact, I took it.
00:24:26You took it.
00:24:28Why?
00:24:29I sent it to poor Stud's sister.
00:24:31She's his only living relative.
00:24:33I felt fearfully sorry for her.
00:24:34You couldn't have taken the money without asking me.
00:24:37Well, dash it all, Mother.
00:24:38It is my money.
00:24:41Have you spoken to either?
00:24:42No, not yet.
00:24:43I haven't had a chance.
00:24:44Then I beg of you to do so without further delay.
00:24:45You understand?
00:24:46All right.
00:24:46Amersham?
00:24:52I expect so.
00:24:53He's coming here tonight.
00:24:54Right.
00:24:54Well, I'm off to bed.
00:24:55Good.
00:24:56Remember what I said about Isla.
00:24:57Don't worry me, Mother.
00:24:58I miss you.
00:25:05Here is a mystery.
00:25:09Go.
00:25:10Bye.
00:25:11Bye.
00:25:11Bye.
00:25:11Bye.
00:25:15Bye.
00:25:18Bye.
00:25:21Bye.
00:25:21Bye.
00:25:23Bye.
00:25:23Bye.
00:25:23Bye.
00:25:24Bye.
00:25:27Bye.
00:25:27Let me out, somebody let me out of here!
00:25:51Let me out, please!
00:25:52Let me out!
00:25:54Please let me out!
00:25:57Let me out!
00:26:27Anything you want, my lord?
00:26:32Who locked my door?
00:26:33I did.
00:26:34Why?
00:26:35Because there was some trouble downstairs and I didn't want you to be in it.
00:26:37Trouble?
00:26:38Well, who was it?
00:26:40Nobody you know, my lord.
00:26:41Is there anything I can do for you?
00:26:43Yes, give me a drink.
00:26:44Something long and cold, as if I'd been doped.
00:26:47There was something in that whiskey you gave me tonight, wasn't there, Gilda?
00:26:50If there was, I know nothing about it.
00:26:51Where's my mother?
00:26:53In her room.
00:26:55Oh, what did happen?
00:26:56Let her come and have a look.
00:27:05Unlock this door, lock it.
00:27:06Please unlock this door.
00:27:08What was all that noise?
00:27:09What's been happening?
00:27:10Why has Miss Crane's door been bolted?
00:27:11And why hasn't the boat been removed?
00:27:13That I can't say, my lord.
00:27:14Please see that it is done first thing in the morning or there'll be trouble.
00:27:16I'm going downstairs.
00:27:17Oh, please, can I come with you?
00:27:18Of course, my dear.
00:27:19Come along.
00:27:29My sacred aunt.
00:27:33Who did this?
00:27:34Someone who doesn't like Dr. Amersham very much.
00:27:36Dr. Amersham?
00:27:39He looks as if a lunatic had been let loose.
00:27:41Yes, he behaved like one anyway.
00:27:43What happened to Amersham?
00:27:45He left for London three minutes ago.
00:27:46We're going to go back to London, this time of the morning.
00:27:50Very quick.
00:27:52Well, we certainly do see life.
00:27:55And death.
00:27:55Is Dr. Amersham in?
00:28:10Is he expecting you, sir?
00:28:11I hope not.
00:28:12It's just a little personal matter.
00:28:16Oh, will you come this way, sir, please?
00:28:21I'll tell the doctor you're here, sir.
00:28:23Well, Mr. Tanner, have they managed to discover anything about this wretched business?
00:28:38Nothing very important.
00:28:39I wonder whether you could help us in any way.
00:28:41Oh, won't you sit down?
00:28:43No, I don't suppose I can help you very much.
00:28:47This man, Stud, wasn't a particularly attractive person.
00:28:49In fact, I had to pull him up on several occasions.
00:28:52He's rather impertinent in his manner and not a particularly good chauffeur.
00:28:55Were you at Mark's Priory when the murder was committed?
00:28:58Does this mean I'm a suspect?
00:28:59Oh, no, doctor.
00:29:00I'm merely paying a routine call in the course of my inquiries.
00:29:03I see.
00:29:04And what was it you asked?
00:29:05If you were at Mark's Priory when Stud met his death.
00:29:08Come, doctor.
00:29:11Surely you can remember what you were doing that night?
00:29:13Of course.
00:29:14I dined with Lady Lebanon.
00:29:15How stupid of me.
00:29:15But then I'm there so often it's impossible to remember exactly it.
00:29:18What time did you leave for London?
00:29:20Well, to the best of my recollection, I must have left the Priory about half past ten.
00:29:26Lady Lebanon puts it at rather earlier than that.
00:29:28Does she?
00:29:29Oh, well, no doubt she's right.
00:29:30I couldn't swear to the exact time.
00:29:32At any rate, it was before the crime was committed.
00:29:35Oh, yes.
00:29:36At least I gather that it happened just before midnight.
00:29:38I've been informed that you did not leave for London that night.
00:29:41What?
00:29:41In fact, you were seen driving away from the Priory early the following morning.
00:29:44Seven or eight hours after the murder.
00:29:46Who told you that?
00:29:47I'm asking the questions, Dr. Amisham.
00:29:50You still adhere to your story?
00:29:51Mr. Turner, I'm not accustomed to having my word question.
00:29:55If you choose to disbelieve me, well...
00:29:57Oh, no, no, not at all, doctor, not at all.
00:29:59Oh, that's a very interesting piece.
00:30:02Yes.
00:30:03I picked it up in India.
00:30:04In Delhi?
00:30:05No.
00:30:06Calcutta.
00:30:06Were you out there long?
00:30:08For some six or seven years.
00:30:10I was in the medical service.
00:30:11Dreadful job.
00:30:11I resigned.
00:30:12Stud's somewhat uneventful history shows that he sold it in India for a time.
00:30:16Did you ever run across it?
00:30:18My dear, sir, have you any idea of the size of India and the number of troops stationed there?
00:30:22It's also said that it's a very small world.
00:30:24Well, Mr. Turner, if there's anything else you think I can do to help, I'm sure you won't hesitate to call me up.
00:30:28Thank you, doctor.
00:30:30Oh, by the way, if I'm not being too inquisitive, what's your connection with Marx Priory?
00:30:34A friend of the family, I presume?
00:30:36Yes.
00:30:36I knew the father of the present Lord Lebanon very well, and as a matter of fact, I'm writing a book on heraldry at the moment with Lady Lebanon.
00:30:42And by way of being a bit of an authority...
00:30:44Well, goodbye, doctor.
00:30:45Goodbye.
00:30:45I don't bother.
00:30:46I say I'm not disturbing you, am I?
00:31:01No, no, of course not.
00:31:02Well, Lady Lebanon has left some checks on her desk, as she wants you to sign.
00:31:05All right.
00:31:06I say Isla.
00:31:08Yes?
00:31:09Isla.
00:31:13Has Mother, by any chance, spoken to you about us?
00:31:16About us?
00:31:17Mm-hmm.
00:31:18Yes, she did.
00:31:19What do you think?
00:31:22Rather shook you, I expected.
00:31:23I suppose it was a great compliment.
00:31:25You don't really think it's a good idea, do you?
00:31:30I mean, I'm awfully fond of you and all that.
00:31:32Oh, thanks.
00:31:34I can consider myself sacked, eh?
00:31:36Well, don't you think you'd rather sacked yourself?
00:31:40We understand each other, don't we?
00:31:42Yes, I think we do.
00:31:44I say, what about Mother?
00:31:45You know what she is.
00:31:47Well, now, look, suppose we leave things just as they are for the moment.
00:31:49Marvellous idea.
00:31:51We leave things just as they are.
00:31:54Isla.
00:31:55Yes?
00:31:55You're a supporter.
00:31:57And so are you.
00:31:58Are you going out or coming in?
00:32:00I was just going to Horsham to do some shopping.
00:32:02Well, take my car.
00:32:03Oh, thank you very much, but Mr. Fetterby said he'd take me.
00:32:07Ah-ha.
00:32:08What do you mean, ah-ha?
00:32:09Ah-ha-ha-ha.
00:32:12Now you're being silly.
00:32:13Where does Madam wish to go?
00:32:28Horsham, please.
00:32:29As good as there.
00:32:29What's the secret of Mark's Priory?
00:32:52That sounds like the title of a detective story with Mr. Tanner as the hero.
00:32:58Is he very clever, do you think?
00:33:00Tanner?
00:33:00Sure, he's one of the best men at the yard.
00:33:02I wonder who he suspects.
00:33:03Oh, everybody, I should imagine.
00:33:05What a brilliant pianist, Lord Lebanon is.
00:33:12Oh, yes, isn't he?
00:33:13I bet you we marry some girl with no ear for music.
00:33:16Lady Lebanon wants me to marry him.
00:33:19Well, look out.
00:33:19Look where you're going.
00:33:19My congratulations.
00:33:22On what?
00:33:23Well, on your forthcoming marriage to Lord Lebanon.
00:33:26Oh, I said Lady Lebanon wants me to marry him.
00:33:29And?
00:33:30Well, I don't want to.
00:33:31I'm glad.
00:33:33I hoped you would be.
00:33:36Oh.
00:33:49Well, it's as clear as mud to me.
00:34:09Whichever way you go, you get back to Amersham.
00:34:11So tilling second favourite, is he?
00:34:18Hello?
00:34:19Well, Tanner here.
00:34:20Who?
00:34:21Oh, yes, Marty.
00:34:23Amersham's gone out, has he?
00:34:24And the servants?
00:34:26Good, all right.
00:34:29Tanner here.
00:34:30What about that search warrant?
00:34:31Just ready, sir.
00:34:32All right, I'll collect it on my way down.
00:34:34You know, I've been making a few inquiries on my own.
00:34:36While you've been sleeping soundly in your bed,
00:34:38what have I been doing?
00:34:39Drinking?
00:34:40No, mauling and toiling after the facts.
00:34:42Seeking information here, there and everywhere.
00:34:44Amersham's on the police records.
00:34:45You don't say so.
00:34:46It's a fact.
00:34:46I found it in the files myself.
00:34:48Drive into the common danger, find five pounds, and he's licence endorsed.
00:34:51I see a really hardened criminal.
00:34:53Has he ever sold bananas after eight?
00:34:55You make me sick.
00:34:56Well, well, well, this is interesting.
00:35:16What is?
00:35:17He's got 20,000 pounds odd to his credit at the Metropolitan and County Bank.
00:35:21Well, that's better than the white round the ear with a bloater.
00:35:23Let's have a look.
00:35:25One thousand, ten thousand, fifteen thousand.
00:35:34He must be in the house, Sal.
00:35:35What are they?
00:35:37Indian scarves.
00:35:38I wonder what Dr. Amersham will have to say about these.
00:35:41Quite a lot if he wants to get out of this jam.
00:35:48I wish you'd make up your mind earlier in the day when you want to see me.
00:35:51I had an important engagement tonight.
00:35:52This is your important engagement.
00:35:54For quite a long time I've been doing your dirty work.
00:35:57You've been very well paid.
00:35:58Well, it's just the point.
00:35:58I don't think so.
00:35:59My banking account tells a very different story.
00:36:02It's your son's banking account,
00:36:03and he very obligingly signs any checks you put before him.
00:36:08The trouble with you is that you've always wanted to handle my son's money,
00:36:11and I've always stood in the way.
00:36:14And I shall continue to stand in the way.
00:36:16Is that quite clear?
00:36:16Yes.
00:36:16Yes.
00:36:23Where are you going?
00:36:25Back to town.
00:36:26You're staying here.
00:36:27Otherwise, there'll be no check for you tomorrow.
00:36:29All right.
00:36:30We'll see about that.
00:36:31What's the matter?
00:37:00Where's Gildan?
00:37:01I don't know.
00:37:01In his room, I suppose.
00:37:02No, he's not.
00:37:03He's just gone out, and Brooks was with him.
00:37:04I saw him from my bedroom window.
00:37:06Oh, it's not going to happen again.
00:37:07It mustn't happen again.
00:37:08It mustn't happen again.
00:37:30Jailed in India for forgery.
00:37:44Cashiered from the army.
00:37:45Who'd have dreamt he had a record like that?
00:37:47What an officer and a gentleman, eh?
00:37:49I wonder what he's after now.
00:37:50I'll tell you what he's after.
00:37:51He's after Lebanon.
00:37:52Lebanon?
00:37:53Yes, you may be right.
00:37:55That'd be easy.
00:37:55He's a mug.
00:37:56I'm not taking money from a child.
00:37:58Come in.
00:38:00Will you see Lord Lebanon, sir?
00:38:01Lebanon?
00:38:02That's odd.
00:38:03Bring him in.
00:38:05I wonder what the devil he wants.
00:38:10Good morning, Mr Tanner.
00:38:11Good morning, Lord Lebanon.
00:38:12You're rather surprised to see me, aren't you?
00:38:13Yes, but agreeably so, my lord.
00:38:14I'm afraid I don't know very much about Scotland Yard.
00:38:16It's a sort of prison, isn't it?
00:38:18Won't you sit down, my lord?
00:38:19Oh, rather, yes, thank you.
00:38:22Yes, it's a cosy little place you've got here.
00:38:23A cigarette, my lord.
00:38:25Oh, thank you, Mr Tattie.
00:38:26Totty's the name, my lord.
00:38:27An old Italian family.
00:38:29I beg your pardon.
00:38:29Totty, of course.
00:38:30Oh, it's quite all right, my lord.
00:38:32Late.
00:38:34What do you know about Dr Amersham?
00:38:37Well, I'll be perfectly frank.
00:38:39I detest the man.
00:38:41I find it hard to speak without prejudice,
00:38:43because I dislike him so much that I find it impossible even to be fair.
00:38:46How long have you known him?
00:38:47Oh, a long time.
00:38:49Too damn long.
00:38:52Well, I suppose I'd better begin at the beginning.
00:38:56As a boy, I had rather bad health,
00:38:59but I managed to pass through Sandhurst all right.
00:39:02Up till then, I'd only seen Amersham about half a dozen times.
00:39:04He was my father's doctor.
00:39:06My father, by the way, had been ill for many years.
00:39:10My regiment was sent out to India,
00:39:12and while I was out there, father died.
00:39:16May I have an estuary?
00:39:17An estuary?
00:39:17It's certainly been all.
00:39:20Thanks.
00:39:22I had a fairly good time in India,
00:39:24until I got a rather bad attack of fever.
00:39:26It must have been pretty serious,
00:39:28because mother sent out Amersham.
00:39:30He said I ought to go home, and I didn't want to.
00:39:32You know how it is.
00:39:33Quite.
00:39:34Quite.
00:39:35Before we left, something rather serious happened.
00:39:40Amersham formed an attachment for a Eurasian girl.
00:39:44He's a bit of a lad on the quiet, you know.
00:39:47So we've gathered.
00:39:48She was beautiful.
00:39:50Absolutely beautiful.
00:39:52She was found in his bungalow, strangled.
00:39:54What?
00:39:56Are you sure?
00:39:57Of course, there was an awful fuss about it,
00:39:59but nothing could be brought home to him,
00:40:00although there were signs of a struggle in his room.
00:40:02How was she strangled?
00:40:04A silk scarf was found round her neck.
00:40:07She'd awful sick.
00:40:09Can I have a glass of water?
00:40:10Certainly.
00:40:10Thanks.
00:40:20I'm awfully sorry.
00:40:21Lord Lebanon.
00:40:22Yes?
00:40:22If anything happened to you, who would benefit?
00:40:25Miss Cranes, the Euras.
00:40:26She's my cousin.
00:40:27It rather looks as if I'll have to marry her.
00:40:29Yes, we had a similar case in our family.
00:40:32Does Lady Lebanon know about Dr Amersham?
00:40:34I'm not sure.
00:40:35I hope not.
00:40:36But surely, Lord Amersham.
00:40:38Someone listening at that door?
00:40:39Of course, there's nobody listening at the door.
00:40:41People don't do that sort of thing at Scotland Yard.
00:40:43Do you mind looking, please?
00:40:45All right, Tony, open the door.
00:40:54Excuse me, gentlemen, but his Lord should have left his cigarette case behind,
00:40:58so I brought it up to him.
00:40:59What do you mean by listening at the door?
00:41:01Listening?
00:41:02I wasn't listening.
00:41:03Who told you to come up?
00:41:05Copper downstairs.
00:41:09Have that man followed, Toddy.
00:41:16Well?
00:41:18See, I'm not quite so foolish after all.
00:41:21I thought I'd got away this morning without them knowing, but Gilda isn't so easy to slip.
00:41:24How long has this spying been going on?
00:41:26Oh, for a long time now.
00:41:27Does Lady Lebanon know?
00:41:28I'm not sure.
00:41:30Amersham certainly does.
00:41:31Where is Amersham now?
00:41:32Well, he was at Mark's Priory last night, but he came up to town.
00:41:35At least his old mother said at breakfast this morning.
00:41:38No.
00:41:39Sure, Inspector.
00:41:40Good luck.
00:41:41Good morning, and thank you for coming, my Lord.
00:41:42Good morning, my Lord.
00:41:43Good morning.
00:41:44Good morning, Mr. Tittetoe.
00:41:47Tittoe.
00:41:49I've put a man on that footman fellow.
00:41:50Here.
00:41:51He's a cool customer, isn't he?
00:41:53And a dangerous one.
00:41:54I don't underrate the gentleman.
00:41:55What do you think about little old Amersham?
00:41:57Strangling girls in bungalows.
00:41:59What do you think?
00:41:59We've got enough evidence to pinch him, haven't we?
00:42:01When you've learnt your business as a detective officer,
00:42:03which will be somewhere about the year 1990,
00:42:07you'll discover there's always sufficient evidence to pinch people,
00:42:10but generally not quite sufficient evidence to convict them.
00:42:12In other words, we don't pinch him?
00:42:13No, we haven't got to that stage yet, but I don't think we're far off.
00:42:17Hello?
00:42:18Lecture's waiting, sir.
00:42:20All right.
00:42:20I can't find that lecture.
00:42:21I'd forgotten all about it.
00:42:23I'm anxious to pay Amersham another visit.
00:42:24Why don't you tell him to go and run away and play?
00:42:31I must apologise to you men for again inflicting myself upon you as a lecturer,
00:42:42but you must blame the enforced absence of Superintendent Jarvis.
00:42:45Now, last week I spoke to you about detective work on broad lines.
00:42:49Today I'm going to talk to you about the Marks Priory case,
00:42:51which, as you know, is engaging my attention at the moment.
00:42:53I'll first draw a rough sketch map of the Priory.
00:43:03I say, I hope I'm not too terribly late.
00:43:05As a matter of fact, you're thankfully late.
00:43:07That's a bit grim, isn't it?
00:43:08Night.
00:43:09Night.
00:43:10Shethestone Hall.
00:43:12Pronounced Chumley, I suppose.
00:43:14Sit down.
00:43:15Marks Priory is the seat of the Lebanons,
00:43:24a very old family that settled in England during the Crusades.
00:43:27The present Lord Lebanon is a young man of 25, 26,
00:43:31who lives at the Priory with his mother,
00:43:33a typical English aristocrat of the old school.
00:43:36On the night of the 18th,
00:43:37there was a fancy dress dance at the village institute of Marks Thornton,
00:43:41some two or three miles from the Priory.
00:43:42Stud the chauffeur went to this dance in the costume of an Indian servant.
00:43:47There was also present a man named Tilling,
00:43:49a gamekeeper on the Lebanon estate,
00:43:51and his wife.
00:43:53Tilling was jealous of the murdered man,
00:43:54and not without cause.
00:43:56Let me now bring some other interesting characters onto the stage.
00:44:00Dr. Lester Charles Amisham.
00:44:02Dr. Amisham.
00:44:03Well, there you have it.
00:44:04Dr. Amisham.
00:44:05Make the end of the moment.
00:44:07Sergeant!
00:44:12Yes, sir?
00:44:13You've been following me, I hope.
00:44:15Oh, yes, sir.
00:44:16Well, what did I say?
00:44:19What's that, sir?
00:44:19What did I just say?
00:44:22Oh, you said, sir, that...
00:44:23Well, I couldn't say it as well as you did, sir.
00:44:26You.
00:44:27208.
00:44:28What are you did use for my review of the case?
00:44:31Well, that's a rough guess.
00:44:32I don't want a rough guess.
00:44:34I want deduction, sound reasoning.
00:44:36Well, it's all so frightfully involved, isn't it, sir?
00:44:40As you say, it's all so frightfully involved.
00:44:44Sit down, you twerp.
00:44:47You, 30.
00:44:48What's your opinion?
00:44:49I think the evidence points clearly to the doctor, Amisham.
00:44:52We agree with you.
00:44:53I expect to charge him within the next 24 hours.
00:44:57All along the line, Lady Levanon,
00:44:59not while I'm lecturing, please.
00:45:01An important message, sir.
00:45:02Give it to the sergeant there.
00:45:06As I was saying,
00:45:07for some reason, Lady Levanon
00:45:08has been doing her utmost to shield Amisham.
00:45:11Now, I should like to have your theories
00:45:12as to why a woman of this type
00:45:14should want to protect a scoundrel like Amisham.
00:45:16Excuse me, sir.
00:45:17What is it?
00:45:17Whereabouts is the garage?
00:45:20Just there.
00:45:21Why?
00:45:22I gather you've no doubt that Amisham murdered Stud.
00:45:24Not the slightest doubt.
00:45:25Why?
00:45:26Oh, I was just wondering.
00:45:27Who murdered Amisham?
00:45:28What are you talking about?
00:45:30What do you mean?
00:45:31Amisham was found half an hour ago in that garage.
00:45:34Strangled.
00:45:34And here we are,
00:45:44right back to where we started.
00:45:46For the first time, I'm beat.
00:45:47I admit it, I'm beat.
00:45:48Then the outlook is bleak.
00:45:49Just as we were going to put the baselets on Amisham.
00:45:51Is that a match?
00:45:52Yes.
00:45:52Well, let's review the case briefly and see where we get.
00:45:58I'll tell you where we get.
00:45:59Deeper in the sugar.
00:46:01Here, there's something fishy about those footmen.
00:46:03If they're footmen, I'm getting thee.
00:46:04We can't ascribe any motive to them.
00:46:06Whereas Lady Lebanon...
00:46:07What, her?
00:46:08Amisham had a hold on her.
00:46:10Yes.
00:46:10And what about that room she won't open?
00:46:12Oh, you're getting somewhere.
00:46:14Why is she so terrified of anybody seeing inside it?
00:46:16So it looks as though we've got a pinch of female Lady Aristocrat, eh?
00:46:20Before I left the yard, I cabled India.
00:46:22The reply is to be brought to me at Mark's Priory as soon as it comes.
00:46:24Or soon, ma'am.
00:46:25I've got an idea, Toddy, that the solution to the Mark's Priory mystery
00:46:28will be found either in that reply or in the locked room or both.
00:46:31And or the bathroom here, there or anywhere.
00:46:33What was he strangled with, I wonder?
00:46:46And what's become of him?
00:46:47We've made a careful search, but found nothing.
00:46:49He's attacked some yards away and dragged in here.
00:46:51You can see, look.
00:46:53Well, Doctor?
00:46:54Been dead over 12 hours.
00:46:55And I'm not prepared to give the exact time.
00:46:57Oh, that's near enough at the moment.
00:46:58Can the body be moved now?
00:46:59Oh, yes, Doctor.
00:47:00I shall be in the house if you want me.
00:47:02Right.
00:47:02Oh, Toddy.
00:47:03Yes?
00:47:03You'd better see the coroner's officer.
00:47:05You can't get that wrong, can you?
00:47:07Yes.
00:47:32What do you want?
00:47:40Those detectives are here again.
00:47:41Mr. Tanner.
00:47:42Why should that worry you?
00:47:44I can't stay here any longer, Lady Leberlin.
00:47:46I can't.
00:47:50Come here.
00:47:51I sent your mother her quarterly check last Monday.
00:47:59I had such a charming letter from her.
00:48:01Two girls are at school and so happy.
00:48:03She said how wonderful it was to feel safe and secure after the bad time she'd been having.
00:48:08Oh, please, Lord.
00:48:09Now pull yourself together and be sensible.
00:48:11Mother, you know I don't like being disturbed when I'm trying to work.
00:48:35I want to know why you went to Scotland Yard this morning.
00:48:38There are things going on in this house that are getting on my nerves.
00:48:41Besides, I wanted to go and I went.
00:48:43If there's anything for the police to find out, they'll find it out without your help.
00:48:46I say, what do you think about Amersham?
00:48:48I'm not going to discuss him with you.
00:48:51Did you say anything about him?
00:48:53No.
00:48:54Nothing in particular.
00:48:55You're staying here tonight, Amersham, her ladyship says.
00:48:58Or else there's no check for you tomorrow.
00:49:00Very quarrelsome, they were.
00:49:02Lady Leberlin knew that you overheard them.
00:49:03She knew, all right.
00:49:04You should have seen the look she gave me.
00:49:06And this morning she discharged you?
00:49:08Yes, gave me a month's wages at nine o'clock.
00:49:10Very anxious to be rid of me, she was.
00:49:12All right, let alone.
00:49:13I wish to heavens I'd never left India.
00:49:15You are not to go to London without asking me.
00:49:21And you are not to speak to the police about anything that happens in this house.
00:49:24Do you understand?
00:49:25Why did Gildo follow me?
00:49:28He did so on my instructions.
00:49:30Is that sufficient?
00:49:41Just a minute, I want to talk to you.
00:49:45You have an account at the London Accountants Bank, haven't you, Gildo?
00:49:49Very clever of me to find out.
00:49:51Yes, I have.
00:49:52Unusual, isn't it, for a footman to have an account at a London bank?
00:49:55Oh, some of us are very thrifty.
00:49:56A very substantial balance, I hope.
00:49:59Three or four thousand pounds.
00:50:01I've speculated rather wisely.
00:50:02I want you, too.
00:50:09Did you hear anything last night?
00:50:12No shouts or screams or anything?
00:50:14No, sir.
00:50:14The night the chauffeur stud was murdered, did you hear anything then?
00:50:18No, sir.
00:50:19If you remember, I told you so when you were here at the time.
00:50:22Hmm.
00:50:23Oh, pardon me, sir.
00:50:25I believe I saw you talking to her ladyship's maid, Jetson.
00:50:29And I believe I saw you listening.
00:50:31She was discharged this morning, sir, so anything she may have told you was most likely spiteful and untrue.
00:50:38Thank you for the tip.
00:50:39I'd like to see Lady Lebanon now.
00:50:41Very good, sir.
00:50:41I will tell her ladyship.
00:50:45Will your inquiries be finished today?
00:50:47I don't think so.
00:50:48Then I'll order a room for you at the White Hart.
00:50:50Though I've already ordered the rooms, perhaps I might look over the house.
00:50:55Of course, but I understood the man was killed in the garage.
00:50:58The man?
00:50:59Dr. Anisham.
00:51:00He was killed outside the garage and dragged inside afterwards.
00:51:05Something burning?
00:51:10Oh, I forgot.
00:51:12It's silk.
00:51:13I was making a doll's dress for the bazaar.
00:51:15I found the cuttings on my desk and I burnt them.
00:51:20They weren't cuttings.
00:51:21It was all for peace.
00:51:22The scarf that killed Stud, which you say was lost, had in one corner a little metal tag.
00:51:26Mr. Fereby was quite positive about that.
00:51:28You remember?
00:51:29I do not.
00:51:30Then perhaps this will refresh your memory.
00:51:32This tag that I've just picked out of the fire.
00:51:34Well?
00:51:36It conveys nothing to me.
00:51:37It would have conveyed quite a good deal to Dr. Amersham.
00:51:41I don't understand you.
00:51:42I found several such scarves in Amersham's desk when I searched it yesterday.
00:51:48You know, Lady Lebanon, I'm not quite without intelligence.
00:51:51Why do you insist on telling me such obvious lies?
00:51:55Why don't you arrest me?
00:51:57I'm not going to arrest you.
00:51:59You want to ask me questions?
00:52:02I'm afraid I'm not going to be very much help to you.
00:52:05I'm hoping you will be.
00:52:06I should not only ask you questions, Lady Lebanon, but I should tell you one or two facts of which you believe and hope that I'm ignorant.
00:52:14That amuses you.
00:52:15Don't grudge me a little amusement in the middle of this horrible day.
00:52:18I understand there's a room upstairs which is always kept locked on your strict instructions.
00:52:22The lumber room.
00:52:22On the first floor.
00:52:23One of the best positions of the house.
00:52:25That's a queer place for a lumber room.
00:52:26That room is never opened.
00:52:27Still, I'd like to see it open.
00:52:33Mr. Tanner, I'll tell you the truth.
00:52:35My husband died in that room.
00:52:38It has never been opened since.
00:52:39I should still like to see it open.
00:52:41I'm afraid you can't.
00:52:42I'm sorry, but I must insist.
00:52:44Be reasonable, Mr. Tanner.
00:52:46What is there in that room that could interest you except a few pictures?
00:52:50I should have thought the scope of your inquiry lay outside this house.
00:52:53You realise I can get a search warrant?
00:52:55That would be an outrageous thing to do.
00:52:57No magistrate in the county would grant you such a thing.
00:52:58No.
00:53:05Doing a little measuring up?
00:53:16Yes.
00:53:17Have you ever seen inside here?
00:53:19No.
00:53:19Not since the old chap died.
00:53:21There's three feet I can't account for between this room and the next.
00:53:24Is that so?
00:53:25Now, I wonder what that means.
00:53:26I've told you everything I know.
00:53:31When did you last see Dr. Amersham alive?
00:53:32Last evening.
00:53:33I don't know exactly when.
00:53:34He was here at 11 o'clock last night.
00:53:36Probably until within a few minutes of his death.
00:53:38You've been questioning my servants?
00:53:39I've been questioning a number of people.
00:53:40I think you should have come to me first.
00:53:42Well, I have come to you.
00:53:43And you can't tell me what time you last saw Dr. Amersham alive.
00:53:46Here's a man murdered.
00:53:47Rather an impressive fact.
00:53:48I don't follow you.
00:53:49Supposing you had a friend who soon after you saw him met with a fatal accident.
00:53:53Wouldn't you say immediately why I was speaking to him only an hour before?
00:53:57Dr. Amersham was not a friend.
00:53:59He was rather a self-willed man who saw no one's point of view but his own.
00:54:01So the fact that he was murdered within a hundred yards of this room really doesn't matter.
00:54:06Isn't that a little insolent, Mr. Tanner?
00:54:09Yes, I...
00:54:10I suppose it is.
00:54:12But doesn't it strike you, Lady Lebanon, that your own attitude is somewhat peculiar?
00:54:15I...
00:54:16I won't say arrogant.
00:54:19Why was Dr. Amersham here last night?
00:54:21He came to see me.
00:54:22As a doctor?
00:54:23Yes.
00:54:23At your request?
00:54:24No, he just dropped in.
00:54:26At eleven o'clock last night?
00:54:27I had a touch of neuritis in my arm.
00:54:28But you didn't send for him?
00:54:29No.
00:54:30He just guessed you had neuritis.
00:54:33How long was your husband, the late Lord Lebanon, ill before he died?
00:54:37Fifteen years.
00:54:38Who attended him?
00:54:41Dr. Amersham.
00:54:42Although he was ill for such a long time, he died rather suddenly, didn't he?
00:54:45Yes, he did.
00:54:46I have here a copy of the certificate.
00:54:47It's signed by Lester Charles Amersham.
00:54:50Well, what of it?
00:54:52During his illness, you administered his affairs, you and Dr. Amersham.
00:54:57Why did you marry again?
00:55:07That is not true.
00:55:08Why did you marry again at Petersfield Parish Church?
00:55:10And why did you marry Lester Charles Amersham?
00:55:19Who told you?
00:55:21Somerset House.
00:55:22Why did you marry Amersham three months after your husband died?
00:55:25And why did you keep the marriage a secret?
00:55:26He forced me into marriage.
00:55:29Dr. Amersham was an adventurer of the lowest kind.
00:55:31He was a penniless doctor in the Indian Army.
00:55:33He forced me into marriage.
00:55:34Well, you know you can't blackmail people unless you know something to their detriment.
00:55:39I shall not tell you.
00:55:44Had you broken the law?
00:55:45I know that he had.
00:55:46He was a thief and a forger.
00:55:48He'd been kicked out of the army.
00:55:49To revert to your first husband, Mrs. Amersham.
00:55:53I shall be glad if you will call me Lady Lebanon.
00:55:56Who saw the late Lord Lebanon after his death?
00:55:58Dr. Amersham.
00:55:59Did you?
00:56:00No.
00:56:00Anybody else?
00:56:01Gilder and Brooks.
00:56:02Nobody else?
00:56:03No, they did everything.
00:56:04No outsider was called in.
00:56:05I see.
00:56:06And Dr. Amersham signed the certificate.
00:56:09This morning my interest in this case was purely academic.
00:56:12Except for my interest in Dr. Amersham.
00:56:14Now I'm very much interested in you and in this house.
00:56:17And in that room which you say has never opened.
00:56:22Have you got the key?
00:56:25I have an idea.
00:56:26I may be wrong.
00:56:27But Dr. Amersham's hold over you had something to do with that room.
00:56:30No.
00:56:32It had something to do with my past.
00:56:34It took an effort to say that and it's not true.
00:56:37You know you're one of those people one reads about.
00:56:39Blood proud.
00:56:41By the way, you must be a Lebanon yourself.
00:56:45How clever of you to have guessed that.
00:56:48My husband was my cousin.
00:56:49I go back in the direct line to the fourth baron.
00:56:56Before there was a history of England, there was a history of the Lebanons.
00:57:00And it must go on.
00:57:02It would be wicked if the line were to be broken.
00:57:08Well, what have you got?
00:57:09Yeah, this will take some beating.
00:57:10Huh?
00:57:11Full house.
00:57:12Ladies on the roof.
00:57:13Well, I am glad you fellows are staying the night.
00:57:19I'm afraid my mother's not quite so glad, though.
00:57:20No, she didn't seem to be.
00:57:22And I'll tell you somebody else who's absolutely sick about your staying.
00:57:24There's a fact.
00:57:25What do you want, Gilda?
00:57:28I'm only going to answer the door, my lord.
00:57:33Oh, I hate those fellows.
00:57:34Why don't you get rid of them?
00:57:36Oh, I do, regularly.
00:57:37Six times a week.
00:57:38But they're still here.
00:57:40Inspector Tanner here.
00:57:40Not in earthly.
00:57:44I'm trying in.
00:57:45I'm afraid, eh?
00:57:46I mean, half a crown.
00:57:47Half a crown.
00:57:47What are you, sir?
00:57:48To you, sir.
00:57:49I'll take your hand.
00:57:51That means goodbye to my winnings.
00:57:52Here.
00:57:53Is that the reply from India?
00:57:56I beg your pardon.
00:57:57Well, Inspector?
00:57:59Is the news grave or gay?
00:58:01Any nearer solution?
00:58:03Five, Bob.
00:58:03Three gentlemen will be coming down from London in the morning.
00:58:08I think they'll help me to clear things up.
00:58:10I want you to return to the yard at once with an important message.
00:58:12Very good, sir.
00:58:13Do you want anything to eat?
00:58:14No, thank you, sir.
00:58:15All right, I shan't be lost.
00:58:23I've got him.
00:58:24Got what, my lord?
00:58:32What's the matter with him?
00:58:33Well, that's what's called inspiration.
00:58:35Oh, is that what it is?
00:58:36Well, you ought to take something for it.
00:58:38Take this message to Superintendent Lawson at once.
00:58:40It's very urgent.
00:58:40All right, sir.
00:58:41I'll see you at the door.
00:58:42Show me a minute, Tony.
00:58:43All right.
00:58:43There's a short cut to the main road.
00:58:44Turn left at the lodge gates, then first right.
00:58:46That cuts out the village.
00:58:47Thank you, sir.
00:58:52Well, good night.
00:58:52Good night, sir.
00:59:03I'll be quick, all right, sir.
00:59:14I'll be quick, all right, sir.
00:59:16I'll be quick, all right, sir.
00:59:17I'll be quick, all right, sir.
00:59:18I'll be quick, all right, sir.
00:59:20What's the matter?
00:59:21In there.
00:59:21Quick, Tony.
00:59:22Here, take this.
00:59:24You sure you're all right?
00:59:25Only just, sir.
00:59:26Well, I'll get off with others.
00:59:26I'll be quick, all right, sir.
00:59:27Don't you worry.
00:59:28I'll send you to stop here with me.
00:59:29I'll be quick, all right, sir.
00:59:59Not even the smell of an oil rag.
01:00:00We're up against somebody diabolically clever and almost as quick as light.
01:00:03Look.
01:00:08This is a nice place, I don't think.
01:00:10That's the room Lady Neverland won't open.
01:00:12Well, it'll be open tomorrow.
01:00:12I've applied for a search warrant.
01:00:13There's something I ought to tell you.
01:00:14I've discovered there's about three feet unaccounted for between that room and the next one.
01:00:17Well, there must be a passageway.
01:00:18Exactly what I thought.
01:00:19Now, take a look at this.
01:00:23That's not stone.
01:00:24That's iron painted to look like stone.
01:00:29Stone the crows.
01:00:34That's something I didn't discover.
01:00:37Must be a door there.
01:00:38It's fastened on the inside.
01:00:40Well, we're going to this later on.
01:00:43Come on, Toddy.
01:00:43And there's his lordship, playing the piano, as happy as your lawyer is.
01:00:52He's missed a bit of fun tonight, hasn't he?
01:00:53I've had some cases in my life, but this one beats them all.
01:00:59Hey, are you?
01:00:59Hello.
01:01:04Hello.
01:01:05What's been happening to you?
01:01:06I fell asleep in my pantry.
01:01:08I fell another time.
01:01:12Oh, yes.
01:01:14I went out a little while ago for a smoke.
01:01:17When you were dozing in the pantry, you didn't dream about bicycles by any chance.
01:01:21Motor bicycles for choice.
01:01:22No?
01:01:23I dreamt about, sir, earthquakes.
01:01:28Now, don't you get funny with me.
01:01:30Supposing I decide that you and Gilda know a good deal more about these murders than you're prepared to admit.
01:01:35Supposing I decide to hold you as accessories and take you down to the station tonight.
01:01:39If I've said anything I shouldn't have said, I beg your pardon, sir.
01:01:48That's given him something to think about.
01:01:49Is there anything wrong, miss?
01:02:00Come down here, you.
01:02:06What's the matter with the young lady?
01:02:08I don't know what you mean, sir.
01:02:09I heard somebody cry out, so I came to see what was wrong.
01:02:13Is there anything the matter, miss?
01:02:17Something brushed past me in the passage.
01:02:18Would you please see me to my room?
01:02:26Gilda, get me a Scotch and soda, will you?
01:02:29You gentlemen care to join me?
01:02:31Thank you, my lord.
01:02:33How's the music coming along?
01:02:34Oh, all right.
01:02:35I haven't quite got it yet.
01:02:37I thought I'd come out for a drink and a breather.
01:02:39But I won't go to bed till I do get it.
01:02:40Even if I have to sit up all night at that piano.
01:02:42Well, speaking for myself, my lord, I hope you do.
01:02:44It sounds nice and cheerful.
01:02:46And I'm partial to a little jazz now and again.
01:02:47Jazz, thank you.
01:02:49Don't mention me, lord.
01:02:53Gilda, how often have I told you to ring the siphon and the canter?
01:02:55Sorry, my lord.
01:03:00Well, Mr Tanner, are we going to have any fun and games tonight?
01:03:04There are 40 men in the grounds.
01:03:06All trained, skilled men from Scotland Yard.
01:03:09They arrived by tender about five minutes ago.
01:03:12This house is surrounded.
01:03:13There'll be no murder at Mark's Priory tonight.
01:03:1640 men?
01:03:17What organisation?
01:03:18I should have said 36.
01:03:19I was counting the chauffeurs.
01:03:20Well, that's marvellous and very comforting.
01:03:23Cheers.
01:03:24Oh, right.
01:03:24Good luck.
01:03:25Taste that.
01:03:34What is it?
01:03:35I've tasted stuff like that before.
01:03:36Bitter?
01:03:37Yes.
01:03:37Does yours taste bitter?
01:03:38No, mine was all right.
01:03:41Mine's okay.
01:03:41Okay.
01:03:41There's something on tonight.
01:03:55They want me out of the way.
01:03:57I wonder what they're going to do to you.
01:03:58What?
01:03:59They won't do anything to us.
01:04:01Don't be so sure.
01:04:02Amersham was confident that nothing would happen to him.
01:04:05Yes, but...
01:04:06Don't worry.
01:04:07It's me they want.
01:04:11Isla, open the door.
01:04:15I want to talk to you.
01:04:23Is anything the matter?
01:04:24Isla, I want you to marry my son.
01:04:27Anything may happen tonight.
01:04:29I may be...
01:04:30I want you to marry him tomorrow morning.
01:04:32But I can't.
01:04:33It's quite impossible.
01:04:34Yes, it can be arranged.
01:04:37Listen, Isla.
01:04:39He's the last of the Lebanese.
01:04:41Do you realize that?
01:04:44The last link in the chain.
01:04:46A weak link.
01:04:49Have you forgotten that you're 11 and yourself?
01:04:51Whatever happens, your children must bear the name.
01:04:54Oh, no, please don't ask me to do it.
01:04:55Please don't.
01:04:57If you find your life within impossible,
01:05:00I shall be very understanding.
01:05:04Oh, no, I can't do it.
01:05:05I can't possibly do it.
01:05:07Young Faraby,
01:05:08I told you I should be very understanding.
01:05:12Don't you realize what a wonderful thing you'll be doing?
01:05:14The family will gain a new strength.
01:05:18The Lebanon women have always been greater than the men.
01:05:20Yes, but why do you insist that I marry him?
01:05:22There must be hundreds of girls who will be only to...
01:05:23What's that?
01:05:28It's Gilda.
01:05:29Those men are getting out of hand.
01:05:31I may not be able to keep them in control after tonight.
01:05:34Well?
01:05:42There are 14 new men coming down by tender from Scotland Yard.
01:05:44They're in the ground somewhere.
01:05:45If only we could get rid of them.
01:05:47Brooks is getting restless.
01:05:48Says he's going to turn it in.
01:05:49The detectives are frightening him.
01:05:50Do they frighten you?
01:05:51No, nothing frightens me.
01:05:52I'm in it now and I'll see it through.
01:05:54Tell Brooks there's a thousand pounds for him.
01:05:55If only we can get this business through without discovery.
01:06:00It was as though a bull had been let loose.
01:06:02The furniture was all smashed up.
01:06:05It was just as though there had been a real wild party.
01:06:07Yes, I heard about it.
01:06:08Amersham was in it.
01:06:09And those two footmen.
01:06:11I'd hate to think that Mother had anything to do with it.
01:06:14As a matter of fact, I can't imagine her in an undignified situation.
01:06:16No, neither can I.
01:06:18Oh, well.
01:06:19I think I go along and finish my symphony.
01:06:20I thought it was a rhapsody.
01:06:22It may turn out to be either.
01:06:24But whichever way it is, I'll finish it tonight or bust.
01:06:26Cheerio.
01:06:26What about those 40 men in the ground?
01:06:32How about their grub?
01:06:33There are not 40 men or women or children in the ground.
01:06:36How will you keep your big mouth shut?
01:06:37Well, what's the idea?
01:06:38The idea, Totty, is that I want all the murders of tonight to be committed inside this house.
01:06:42Well, how many do you expect?
01:06:44I think you'll be the first.
01:06:45What?
01:06:46Ah, you're pulling more leg.
01:06:47Yes, the gun's gone from my drawer, all right.
01:06:55You're damnful not to keep it in a safer place.
01:06:56Why didn't you carry it on here?
01:06:57I'd give a whole lot to be out of this.
01:06:59There's something that happens tonight.
01:07:00You'll see if I'm not right.
01:07:01Did he drink that stuff?
01:07:01Of course he didn't drink it.
01:07:02You made it too strong.
01:07:03I told you he'd taste it.
01:07:04Look at that.
01:07:07Ah, the brothers Mick and Mark.
01:07:09Anything I can do for you?
01:07:11Thanks.
01:07:13I suppose you'll be up all night.
01:07:15Well, if you're up all night, sir, I shall be up all night.
01:07:17Well, well, now, won't that be nice?
01:07:48In, I suppose you'll be up all night.
01:07:48I can do too much.
01:07:50I'll be up all night.
01:07:51I suppose you'll be up all night.

01:09:42That was very very brave of you. Tanner shouldn't have asked you to do it.
01:09:47I can't believe it with him.
01:09:59Keep away from me. Keep away.
01:10:02You clear out and stay out.
01:10:04I want to talk to Tanner.
01:10:06All right, Toddy. Do as Lord Lebanon wishes.
01:10:13I am clever, you know.
01:10:15You must admit that.
01:10:17Yes, you are.
01:10:21No further.
01:10:24I made those records in London.
01:10:27Four of them.
01:10:30That fooled you.
01:10:32Brooks and Guild have a puzzle, too.
01:10:35They couldn't make it out at all.
01:10:37Oh, I fooled them in lots of ways.
01:10:40Won't you sit down?
01:10:41Sit down.
01:10:46I say, don't you think it's about time this line was wiped out?
01:10:54To a line?
01:10:55I don't understand you.
01:10:56What do you mean?
01:10:57This sort of thing's been going on for I don't know how many years.
01:11:01You ask Mother.
01:11:03She's got all their dates and their names.
01:11:07We Lebanese have always been like this.
01:11:10Father was like that.
01:11:12He was 15 years in that room upstairs.
01:11:16Mad as a damned hatter.
01:11:18Yes.
01:11:19He was clever, too.
01:11:21He could get in and out of that room, just as he liked.
01:11:24Through the concealed door in the front of the house.
01:11:26So you found out about it, have you?
01:11:28Brooks and Guild don't know about it.
01:11:30Have you told them?
01:11:31No.
01:11:32They looked after my father, too, you know.
01:11:35Just like me.
01:11:36Yes, I guess that.
01:11:38But he never strangled anybody.
01:11:43You know the first time I saw it done?
01:11:46It was in Delhi.
01:11:48Quite a little fellow came up behind a big man.
01:11:51He put a cloth around his neck.
01:11:54By God, he was dead.
01:11:56Fascinating.
01:11:57Fascinating.
01:12:00I tried it on a girl.
01:12:04An Indian girl.
01:12:06She went out like that.
01:12:09It's wonderful when people die quickly.
01:12:20I've got lots of these.
01:12:22I brought them home from India.
01:12:25Amisham took some away from me, but he didn't know I got plenty more.
01:12:28I'm not a big fellow, but I'm very strong.
01:12:32Feel my arm.
01:12:37Of course, there was an awful fuss about the Indian girl.
01:12:41Amisham had to go out to India to bring me home.
01:12:44Take your hands out of your pockets.
01:12:46Do you mind if I smoke a cigar?
01:12:49Oh, no, of course not.
01:12:51Please do.
01:12:51You know that room Mother didn't want you to see?
01:13:00It's all padded.
01:13:02Rubber cushions round the walls.
01:13:05I have to go there sometimes when I realise things.
01:13:08When you get a little tiresome.
01:13:10I know what I'm saying.
01:13:12When I realise things.
01:13:15Don't touch me.
01:13:17Sit down.
01:13:18Sit down.
01:13:18Sit down.
01:13:21I only wanted a light.
01:13:30Oh, yes.
01:13:51Are you friend or foe?
01:13:57Why, what a question.
01:13:58Of course I'm a friend.
01:14:02What about those three men who are coming down tomorrow?
01:14:05They're coming down to see me.
01:14:06That's not true.
01:14:08They're coming to see me.
01:14:09To certify me.
01:14:11I know.
01:14:12And I'll fool them.
01:14:16As I fooled you.
01:14:17And Amersham.
01:14:18And all the clever people.
01:14:23I think it's about time the whole line was wiped out.
01:14:30All their shields and escutcheons.
01:14:33Carry on the line.
01:14:34Isn't it ridiculous?
01:14:35Yes, isn't it?
01:14:36You don't like me, do you?
01:14:41Yes, I do.
01:14:44I've been a very good friend of yours.
01:14:46I was nice to you at Scotland Yard, wasn't I?
01:14:49Oh, yes.
01:14:49Of course you were.
01:14:52It was clever to me, wasn't it?
01:14:54I mean, it's the last thing you would have expected.
01:14:57I killed Amersham and then slipped away before they could find him.
01:15:00Yes.
01:15:01That was a stroke.
01:15:02I looked awfully like that Indian girl tonight.
01:15:05I came up behind her and I nearly got her.
01:15:08You heard her scream, didn't you?
01:15:10Why did you?
01:15:12And why were you so unkind a stud?
01:15:18I'm awfully sorry about him.
01:15:22He was such a decent fellow.
01:15:24He was dressed like an Indian.
01:15:26I had to.
01:15:27I nearly got Amersham the other night.
01:15:30By God, he was scared.
01:15:35You're afraid?
01:15:41No.
01:15:42Oh, yes, you are.
01:15:44I always frighten people.
01:15:45You're not frightening me.
01:15:47Now, be a good lad and give me that gun.
01:15:50Why do you want to fool about with a thing like that?
01:15:52There are lots of things I could do with it.
01:15:54I could fool everybody.
01:15:56I could fool Mother.
01:15:58And you.
01:15:58What are you doing?
01:16:05Give me the devolver.
01:16:06No, I won't.
01:16:10Give it to me, I say.
01:16:11I've always wanted a pistol.
01:16:13You know, I've asked one dozens of times.
01:16:14Put it away.
01:16:15I've always wanted a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun.
01:16:45A thousand years of being great.
01:16:55Gone out like a candle in the wind.
01:16:58I've always wanted a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun to do with a gun
