00:01:24Let's go.

00:01:54Let's go.

00:02:24Let's go.

00:02:54You're here as a visitor, Mr. Pryor?

00:02:55Yes.

00:02:56And for a couple of months this time.

00:02:58You see, you've been in England before then.

00:03:00This passport doesn't show it.

00:03:03I was during the war.

00:03:04Oh, I see.

00:03:04I expect you'll find things have changed a bit now.

00:03:07Yes, I guess they have.

00:03:09Is this right?

00:03:10You're a construction engineer?

00:03:11Yes.

00:03:13Right.

00:03:16Now, I've stamped your passport for three months.

00:03:19If you want to extend your visit or conduct any business, you'll have to apply to this address.

00:03:24Now, after you've had a word with the police, stay and clean with your customs, you're sorry for the bit.

00:03:35May I have your passport, sir?

00:03:41Franklin Pryor?

00:03:42Yes.

00:03:43Will you come this way?

00:03:48All right, thank you.

00:03:49Thank you very much.

00:03:50Sir, this is Mr. Pryor.

00:03:52Inspector Bragg.

00:03:54How do you do?

00:03:54Oh, yes.

00:03:55You were standing with the man when he was shot, weren't you?

00:03:57Yes, I, uh, just asked him for a light for my cigarette.

00:04:01I heard a kind of a thud and he followed up in front of me.

00:04:04Notice nothing else?

00:04:05No.

00:04:07Did you see him in the plane at all?

00:04:08Talk to him?

00:04:09Well, I think he was sitting in the tail section.

00:04:11I was up front.

00:04:13I see.

00:04:14Uh, I'll be with you in a moment.

00:04:24You didn't hear the matter man mentioned by name?

00:04:27No.

00:04:28What was his name?

00:04:29I don't know.

00:04:32We had a passport, didn't we?

00:04:33Identification.

00:04:34Oh, yes.

00:04:34None of it checks.

00:04:35It was all expert, fortunately.

00:04:37We found a letter on him addressed to Kendall Brown.

00:04:40So, temporarily, we call him Kendall Brown.

00:04:50Mr. Pryor, I understand you tried to leave the building after your group had been quarantined.

00:04:54Uh, yes.

00:04:55I was expecting someone to meet me here.

00:04:57They didn't show up.

00:04:58I wanted to find out why.

00:04:59A lot of other people in a similar position.

00:05:01All the visitors were notified of the circumstances.

00:05:04Well, I'm sorry.

00:05:07Where can we, um, reach you if we want to talk to you again later?

00:05:10Well, I don't know where I'll be staying.

00:05:12I, uh, wrote my friend to make a reservation for me in a hotel, but, uh, as I was saying, a friend didn't show up.

00:05:19Well, can we get a review through your friend's address?

00:05:21Well, I guess so.

00:05:23May we have his name?

00:05:24May we have his name?

00:05:24Uh, her name is, uh, Miss French.

00:05:28That's, uh, number seven, Malvern Terrace.

00:05:31Seven?

00:05:33M-A-L-V-E-R-N.

00:05:34Um, uh, thank you, Mr. Parr.

00:05:39We'll just go through there.

00:05:40The customers will look after.

00:05:42I, uh, wonder if I can make that phone call first, please, huh?

00:05:45Yes.

00:05:47You can use that one over there.

00:05:49Just lift the receiver and give the operator the number you want.

00:05:52What were you saying to him?

00:05:54I think so.

00:05:55Oh, would you give me Flaxman 5483, please?

00:05:595483.

00:06:00I've checked the photograph taken from the dead man's pocket.

00:06:02Hmm?

00:06:03It was taken at a bad angle as far as the number plate's concerned.

00:06:06The only thing that we can be certain of is the make of the car.

00:06:10Any idea who the girl is?

00:06:11No, sir.

00:06:12I wish I did.

00:06:13I see what you mean.

00:06:14Well, this won't help us to find out who Kendall Brown was.

00:06:17Well, sir, we've checked the records, but no such person seems to exist.

00:06:22That's all we needed to make this case perfectly simple.

00:06:25All right, you can go.

00:06:27Don't you want to know the address?

00:06:29What address?

00:06:30Uh, the house in the background.

00:06:31It's, uh, South Hill Street, Chelsea.

00:06:34Not far from the river.

00:06:36You sure?

00:06:37Oh, yes, sir.

00:06:38The architecture is unmistakably Edwardian, with alterations.

00:06:42They're mostly flats nowadays,

00:06:43but this one here is number 39.

00:06:4739.

00:06:48All right, thank you.

00:06:53Come on, Cameron, come on.

00:06:54Where are we going, sir?

00:06:56South Hill Street.

00:06:57Well, try it again for me, please, man.

00:06:58There should be somebody there.

00:07:00Hello, Miss French's residence.

00:07:22Hello, Miss French there?

00:07:24No, I'm sorry, she's not.

00:07:26Would you know if she went to the airport this morning?

00:07:30Did she leave any message?

00:07:34Well, you'll be there for a while.

00:07:37I see.

00:07:38Well, thanks.

00:07:39Well, I'll be right back.

00:07:57Fuck.

00:07:58Fuck!

00:07:58Sorry to trouble you madam. We're from Scotland Yard. Scotland Yard? Just making a few inquiries. We hope you might be able to help us. Oh yes. Do you recognize that lady?

00:08:23Yes. Does she live here? No but she used to be a visitor about a year ago. Do you know her name? I'm afraid I don't. You haven't seen her recently? Well as a matter of fact she was here twice this morning. Oh? What for? She's wanting to see Mr. Brown. Mr. Kendall Brown? Yes. He's got a room on the first floor. I see. Well do you mind if we take a look? No come inside.

00:08:53Excuse me.

00:08:58Get inside. Will you follow me please?

00:09:18Oh.

00:09:20This is it.

00:09:29He only has the one room.

00:09:33Keeps it pretty tidy doesn't it?

00:09:35Oh Mr. Brown's a model lodger.

00:09:41Theatrical?

00:09:42No.

00:09:43No not that I know.

00:09:47How long has he been with you?

00:09:48Oh he's been about 18 months now.

00:09:51Nothing wrong I hope.

00:09:53Do you know much about him?

00:09:54No.

00:09:55Might be a traveller.

00:09:56He's been away this last week.

00:09:57Expected back today.

00:10:00Marriage?

00:10:01I don't think so.

00:10:02But um.

00:10:03Yes.

00:10:04Well the lady in that photograph you showed me.

00:10:07She's been here quite a lot.

00:10:09But that's almost a year ago.

00:10:11Do you know anything about her?

00:10:12Afraid I don't.

00:10:13And you don't know her name?

00:10:14No I'm sorry.

00:10:15I don't think Mr. Brown would like you going through his things.

00:10:16That's all right Mrs. Barnes.

00:10:17This Helene.

00:10:18Who's she?

00:10:19I don't know.

00:10:20I never was one for shows.

00:10:21Alright I don't think we need to keep you any longer.

00:10:22We'll just take a look around.

00:10:23Very good.

00:10:24I suppose it's all right.

00:10:25Well I don't think there's much we can do here.

00:10:26This Kendal Brown seems to be too anonymous to be natural.

00:10:30And it's a great thing.

00:10:32What you can do to her.

00:10:33Right you can do to her.

00:10:34Well I love you.

00:10:35And you know.

00:10:36What you think about your name?

00:10:37I just need to keep you all right.

00:10:40And you know I've had to keep you all right.

00:10:41I don't know if you keep you hanging out.

00:10:43I don't know if you have any time any time.

00:10:44Or I don't think we need to keep you any longer.

00:10:49This is all right.

00:10:50I don't think there's a big time when we can do here.

00:10:51Well, this Kendall Brown seems to be too anonymous to be natural.

00:10:56What do you think of this, sir?

00:11:01Helene Castle.

00:11:04All my love forever, Helene.

00:11:07Do you think that's a clue to follow up, sir?

00:11:10A pretty flimsy one.

00:11:13I'd say very flimsy, sir.

00:11:15Inspector, look at this.

00:11:22What?

00:11:24Isn't that the car in the photograph?

00:11:27He hasn't come back yet.

00:11:29The police are in his room now.

00:11:32They ask about you.

00:11:35The police?

00:11:36Would you like to have a word?

00:11:39No.

00:11:41Come on, gentlemen, quick.

00:11:42Come on, gentlemen, quick.

00:11:43Come on, look.

00:12:13I heard you come down the hall, Miss French.

00:12:22You have a visitor.

00:12:26Go upstairs, isn't it?

00:12:31Frank.

00:12:33Hello, Pauline.

00:12:36Oh, Frank.

00:12:37I can't believe it.

00:12:38I can't believe it.

00:12:39If I gave up hoping I'd ever see you again, that I'd ever be holding you on my arms like this again.

00:12:58Oh, it's been so long.

00:13:00I didn't know you were here.

00:13:06When did you get in?

00:13:07A few hours ago.

00:13:09I wrote you in my letter one time I was going to arrive.

00:13:12Oh.

00:13:16Oh, then you...

00:13:18You didn't get my cable.

00:13:20Yes.

00:13:21You told me you'd meet me at the airport.

00:13:23Yes, but I sent another one later.

00:13:25I...

00:13:27I was so sure it would arrive in time.

00:13:34You mean not to come?

00:13:36Yes.

00:13:38But it doesn't matter, really.

00:13:40It was just some personal matters, and I thought that perhaps later...

00:13:47Oh, darling.

00:13:48You must have been terribly disappointed I wasn't there to meet you.

00:13:50Come.

00:13:56Tell me everything.

00:13:58Everything I haven't heard for the past six years.

00:14:01How are you?

00:14:02What's going to happen?

00:14:04Tell me everything.

00:14:06That looks like I made a mistake.

00:14:08You'd want me to come, did you?

00:14:10It's not that.

00:14:11It's just that now...

00:14:13No, it's very simple to go back.

00:14:14I haven't unpacked yet.

00:14:16Matter of fact, I haven't even got a hotel.

00:14:19Oh, you silly friend.

00:14:24I can't tell you what I felt when I got your first letter.

00:14:27But you know, it went through three changes of address.

00:14:31So many things have happened since you left.

00:14:34So many.

00:14:38But you look just wonderful.

00:14:40Just as big and strong and as attractive.

00:14:43You know that this is the first time I've seen you out of uniform.

00:14:49Same here.

00:14:51Hiya, Captain.

00:14:53At ease, Sergeant.

00:15:13You still do the same things?

00:15:15Besides acting, I mean, do you still fly?

00:15:17Oh, just occasionally.

00:15:20You still race?

00:15:22Oh, not much with planes now.

00:15:24I got interested in speedboats a little while ago.

00:15:26I bought myself a motor launch.

00:15:28What a gal.

00:15:30You know, I'm getting older.

00:15:31I doubt if I'll be able to keep up with a sweet girl anymore.

00:15:34Oh, I'm much more sensible about it now.

00:15:36From planes to cars to boats, it's slowing up, don't you think?

00:15:40I, uh, see, you're still the same old, did I?

00:15:43You get quite a few more new cups here.

00:15:45You know, the fellas in the outfit, uh,

00:15:46they used to kid me about going around with a gal

00:15:48who could out-shoot Annie Oakley.

00:15:51Don't worry, darling, I haven't shot one of my boyfriends

00:15:53for at least a couple of years now.

00:15:57Hey, speaking of shooting,

00:15:59you know what happened out at the airport this morning?

00:16:01The fella was shot and killed just after we got off the plane.

00:16:09I don't know.

00:16:12Were you there?

00:16:16Was I?

00:16:18I asked him for a light for my cigarette just before he got hit.

00:16:21He's standing right next to him.

00:16:23You want to hear all the gory details?

00:16:25No, thank you. I've already read them in the papers.

00:16:32Yeah, I'll see Scott and Garrett was there.

00:16:34Yeah, I think it was done from a distance by a sniper of some kind, huh?

00:16:40Hey, it must have been.

00:16:43We better get going.

00:16:45Hey, beautiful.

00:16:46Snap into it, huh?

00:16:48After we find me a hotel,

00:16:49I want to take you to that, uh,

00:16:50little Greek restaurant in Soho

00:16:51that we both used to like so much.

00:16:54All right, I'll hurry.

00:17:04Take your places for a feast of magic from the mystic East.

00:17:20First defeat you've seen no living man do

00:17:23that only one surviving wizard can do.

00:17:26That I hardly need to air, it is me.

00:17:28And here's a chest with another thing inside.

00:17:30I show it thus.

00:17:35And close it thus.

00:17:37A magic pass.

00:17:38Hey, presto.

00:17:39And what do we see?

00:17:42Me.

00:17:43Every night I'm tightly tied in this attitude undignified.

00:17:57In the process I've grown fond of this weird necromancer with the beard and the one.

00:18:04But, oh, is he going to notice me

00:18:11When he's so busy doing what comes supernaturally.

00:18:19Hey, presto.

00:18:21All she has herself to me is, hey, presto.

00:18:24Folks go wild and applaud.

00:18:26I have my dreams, but it seems I'm completely ignored.

00:18:31I have my dreams.

00:18:34Yes?

00:18:36Is Miss Castle in the theatre?

00:18:38Yes, but they don't allow visitors during a show in Scotland Yard.

00:18:43Oh, Scotland Yard.

00:18:47And you want to see Miss Castle?

00:18:49Please.

00:18:51Well, she's just beginning her act.

00:18:53Is there somewhere we could wait?

00:18:55Yes.

00:18:56Tommy.

00:18:57Yes?

00:18:58Show these two gentlemen from Scotland Yard into the wings, will you?

00:19:01They want to see Miss Castle.

00:19:02Sure.

00:19:03Follow me, gentlemen.

00:19:07Scotland Yard.

00:19:08Nobody got killed, did they?

00:19:09Yes.

00:19:10Oh, hey, presto.

00:19:11Oh, I was poor and I was down, when a road show blew into town.

00:19:21They needed an assistant, I heard.

00:19:26I went and told this mystical jerk, I'd give my own ride down for the work.

00:19:31And he took me at my word.

00:19:32Hey, presto.

00:19:33Oh, he ever says to me, hey, presto.

00:19:34He's so formal and smart.

00:19:35Always polite, but you might think he hadn't got a heart.

00:19:36Oh, he ever says to me, hey, presto.

00:19:37I keep up in disgust.

00:19:38Find me a soul with a wholesome capacity for love.

00:19:43With all our secrets to share, we'd make a wonderful pair of perfect soul.

00:19:48And this.

00:19:49But if he made me, he's so formal and smart.

00:19:51Oh, he ever says to me, hey, presto.

00:19:53He's so formal and smart.

00:19:54Always polite, but you might think he hadn't got a heart.

00:19:57Oh, he ever says to me, hey, presto.

00:19:59Oh, my heart's aching and sick.

00:20:00Which little trick must be slick, so I'm quick to obey.

00:20:22Hey, presto, and I'm here.

00:20:26You must have been right to me, hey, presto.

00:20:28Watch her disappear.

00:20:33Oh, Helene, these two men want to see you.

00:20:35Later, for me.

00:20:36But they're from Scotland Yard.

00:20:38Just one minute.

00:20:42Hey, let's go.

00:20:45Helene.

00:20:54Hey, let's go.

00:21:04Sorry to keep you waiting.

00:21:05That's right, all right. We enjoyed watching your act.

00:21:07Oh, good.

00:21:08This is my partner, Harbin the Great.

00:21:09How you do?

00:21:10These gentlemen are from Scotland Yard.

00:21:12Scotland Yard? Why, is anything wrong?

00:21:14I don't know.

00:21:15No, we just want to talk to Miss Carson.

00:21:18I'll see you later.

00:21:20My dressing room is this way. Want to come along?

00:21:22Thank you, thank you.

00:22:02I'm so sorry.

00:22:20I suppose you want to ask me about Ken.

00:22:22I read the papers.

00:22:23You knew him then?

00:22:25I'm his wife.

00:22:28But don't let that worry you.

00:22:29Ken and I have been separated for so long

00:22:32that we were almost on speaking terms again.

00:22:35I see.

00:22:36How long had you been separated?

00:22:38Oh, about three years.

00:22:40We saw each other sometimes.

00:22:42We finally became quite civilized about our differences.

00:22:46In fact, he came to the show a few weeks back.

00:22:49You don't mind if I change?

00:22:50Oh, no, no, no.

00:22:51Do.

00:22:53Do.

00:22:54We are not in the way.

00:22:56All right.

00:22:57I've done this before in public.

00:23:00Without the screen.

00:23:01Quite.

00:23:04You don't know what your husband's been doing lately, I suppose.

00:23:06No.

00:23:11Do you know anyone who might have wanted to get him out of the way?

00:23:14No, but I'm not surprised that he should have ended up like this.

00:23:19He's on a stage for excitement when he was a pilot.

00:23:23He did what we show people call a double act.

00:23:27His partner was trouble.

00:23:29But you can't tell us what sort of trouble it was this time.

00:23:36I have to guess.

00:23:38I'd say the wrong man's wife.

00:23:40Oh.

00:23:41Like that, was it?

00:23:43Do you...

00:23:44Do you happen to recognize this lady?

00:23:49Yes, that's his latest.

00:23:51Was her name Pauline French.

00:23:54Pauline French, the actress.

00:23:56Who did I hear mention that name recently?

00:23:58Oh, you know her.

00:24:00She's all the time in the papers.

00:24:02Rides, shoots, skis, flies.

00:24:04Anything that moves fast and makes a lot of noise.

00:24:10Did you find this on Ken?

00:24:12Yes.

00:24:14I see.

00:24:15From what you say about your husband,

00:24:18those two must have got on well together.

00:24:21Well.

00:24:22Very well.

00:24:25Thank you, Mrs. Brown.

00:24:26My name's Anne Castle.

00:24:28I beg your pardon, Mrs. Castle.

00:24:30You've been a great help.

00:24:31Oh, there's just one thing.

00:24:32They'll want to identify the body.

00:24:34I imagine as you're his wife,

00:24:36they'll want to get in touch with you shortly.

00:24:38Well, you can always get me through the theater.

00:24:42Good night.

00:24:43Good night.

00:24:46Good night.

00:24:48Good night.

00:24:49Good night.

00:24:51Good night.

00:24:53Good night.

00:24:54Good night.

00:24:55Good night.

00:24:56Good night.

00:24:57Good night.

00:25:01What next, sir?

00:25:02Well, you can do what you like.

00:25:03You're young.

00:25:04I'm going to bed.

00:25:06What about pouring French?

00:25:07She'll keep till tomorrow.

00:25:09You find her all right, sir?

00:25:11Yes, thank you.

00:25:12Good night, gentlemen.

00:25:13Good night.

00:25:14Good night.

00:25:15Good night.

00:25:17Good night.

00:25:26Well, you've seen everything from Land's End to John O'Groats. What's next?

00:25:42Anything I say?

00:25:43Anything you say, darling. Your day.

00:25:46Okay, I'll tell you what. Let's just stay in the Thames until we hit the sea.

00:25:50We'll cross the channel, land on the coast of France, build ourselves a little hut out of driftwood,

00:25:55spend the rest of our lives alone together. No city, no people, and no past. Just us.

00:26:02What a wonderful, beautiful dream.

00:26:07You know, this is a pretty sturdy boat. I bet you could cross the channel on this.

00:26:11Don't tell me that you've never tried it.

00:26:13What do you mean?

00:26:14I mean, I know Pauline French. If nothing stops her, she goes.

00:26:25Uh-uh.

00:26:26What's the matter?

00:26:27No petrol. We've been doing too much sightseeing. I knew we should have filled her up before we left.

00:26:34Well, the worst that can happen is that we just keep on drifting.

00:26:36Personally, I can't imagine a better way to spend my time.

00:26:40I think I'd better call someone from the shore.

00:26:47Ahoy!

00:26:47Hello!

00:26:57Hello there!

00:27:02What's wrong, Miss French? Trouble?

00:27:04Yes, we ran out of petrol. Do you think you could tow us in?

00:27:07Certainly, Miss Wright.

00:27:13Well, that's all right. We'll be in in a minute.

00:27:15You knew him, huh?

00:27:17Yes, he works for the people who look after my boat over there.

00:27:21Good thing we didn't drift too long.

00:27:24I've got a lot to do for the party tonight.

00:27:26Oh, that's another thing. I don't understand why...

00:27:28Oh, no, I'm sorry. It's something I arranged weeks ago.

00:27:31Anyway, it'll give you a chance to meet some of my glamorous leading men.

00:27:34Yes, I'd love that.

00:27:37Anyway, I want to be able to show you.

00:27:40You mean that?

00:27:41Mm-hmm.

00:27:45Anything else I can do, Miss French?

00:28:03Put her on for you.

00:28:04No, just put her nothing together across the dry dock.

00:28:06I think I'll overwalk and put her up for sale.

00:28:09Oh, no.

00:28:18So you're going, huh?

00:28:19Yes, it's really much more trouble than it's worth.

00:28:22Looks like a pub.

00:28:24They look out for me.

00:28:25It's a pretty good. Hey, how about a drink?

00:28:26No, really, I must get there.

00:28:28Hello, Miss French.

00:28:30I thought the boy towed you in up the river.

00:28:31Yes, we ran out of fuel.

00:28:33Well, come and refuel in here.

00:28:36Have a bit of on the house.

00:28:37We're in a terrible hurry.

00:28:39O'Donis, I want you to meet a very good friend of mine from America, Mr. Pryor.

00:28:42From America?

00:28:43Pleased to meet you, Mr. Pryor.

00:28:44Very pleased indeed.

00:28:46Can I have a word with you in private just for a minute?

00:28:47Excuse us.

00:28:58Frank, I have to see someone inside for me.

00:29:02Okay.

00:29:03Come inside, Mr. Pryor.

00:29:04Come in and have a quick one.

00:29:05No need to wait out there.

00:29:07Hello, Miss French.

00:29:18We've missed you, dear.

00:29:19Yes, I've been very busy.

00:29:20Wasn't it horrible news?

00:29:22Yes.

00:29:23Could I have a whiskey, please?

00:29:24Yes, dear.

00:29:27What would you like, Frank?

00:29:28I'd have a sandwich.

00:29:29That you are.

00:29:34Keep mine warm for me, will you?

00:29:36I'll be back in a minute.

00:29:48American?

00:29:50That's right.

00:29:51You can always tell.

00:29:52You can.

00:29:53French pretty well-known, right?

00:29:54Yeah, she's a lovely person.

00:29:57They take care of her launch back there.

00:29:59They get all sorts of you.

00:30:01All the common old river characters.

00:30:03Then the ladies and gentlemen, like Miss French,

00:30:05who keep their boats with us.

00:30:07Excuse me.

00:30:08I'm sorry about that, darling.

00:30:21Just some trouble about the boat.

00:30:38What made you decide to sell it all of a sudden?

00:30:40I've just had enough of it, I guess.

00:30:42Well, sit down, huh?

00:30:43They say that you put in the launch up to say.

00:30:46Yes.

00:30:46Is it all in kind of what happened to him?

00:30:48No, of course not.

00:30:51I don't think I want this.

00:30:54Do you mind if we go, Frank?

00:30:55All right.

00:30:55Right in the airport, too, in front of all those people.

00:30:58Shocking you.

00:30:59Shocking.

00:31:00You never...

00:31:08The barmaid in there was...

00:31:09We must get a taxi.

00:31:16She was talking about Kendall Brown, wasn't she?

00:31:20Yes.

00:31:23You knew him then, didn't you?

00:31:25Yes.

00:31:27Why didn't you mention this to me yesterday?

00:31:31Was there any need?

00:31:38You must have known him pretty well.

00:31:39You came here quite often with him, didn't you?

00:31:42Didn't you?

00:31:43That's right.

00:31:46Is that what's been bothering you?

00:31:48Is that what you're holding back?

00:31:50Look, Frank.

00:31:51You left here six years ago.

00:31:53Since then, I've lived my own life.

00:31:54No strings, no ties.

00:31:55It's just that if there's anything wrong, I want to help.

00:31:57There's nothing wrong, and I don't want any help.

00:31:59I just want to be left alone.

00:32:01Don't you understand that?

00:32:02I just want to be left alone.

00:32:05Taxi?

00:32:09Hey, mister!

00:32:19Hey, mister!

00:32:21Mister!

00:32:22Mister!

00:32:23Come on, sir.

00:32:53I think you're very good.

00:33:14See, I feel mad.

00:33:16Cynthia, please, do mind.

00:33:18Don't keep the phone occupied. I want to use it.

00:33:20Oh, certainly, ma'am. I'm just finishing.

00:33:22I'll see you tomorrow, George.

00:33:27Have we got enough glasses and drinks and everything?

00:33:29Yes, ma'am.

00:33:30Good.

00:33:31Oh, and would you bring me up one of your headache powders, please?

00:33:33Certainly.

00:33:52Hello.

00:33:53Would you put me through to Mr. Pryor's room, please?

00:33:57Oh, here I...

00:33:58Yes, I see.

00:33:59Yes, I would like to leave a message.

00:34:01Ask him to ring Miss French as soon as he comes in.

00:34:05Yes.

00:34:07Not there, ma'am.

00:34:08No.

00:34:10It's all right, ma'am.

00:34:11It's all right, sir.

00:34:12I'll go.

00:34:13It's all right.

00:34:14I'll go.

00:34:15Coming!

00:34:16It's all right.

00:34:17I'll go.

00:34:18Coming!

00:34:19Come on!

00:34:20Yes.

00:34:22Yes.

00:34:24Not there, ma'am.

00:34:25No.

00:34:29It's all right.

00:34:38I'll go.

00:34:44Coming!

00:34:53Miss French?

00:34:55Yes?

00:34:57Inspector Bravick, Scotland Yard.

00:34:59Oh.

00:35:00Yes?

00:35:01May we come in?

00:35:03Well...

00:35:05All right.

00:35:11I...

00:35:12I hope it won't take too long.

00:35:14I'm expecting rather a lot of pain from me.

00:35:16So I see.

00:35:17Well, I'll try and make it as brief as possible.

00:35:19We would have chosen yesterday, but you were in such a hurry.

00:35:23What do you mean?

00:35:25Did you know Kendall Brawn?

00:35:28Yes?

00:35:29You've read the papers?

00:35:30Yes.

00:35:31You've read the papers?

00:35:32Yes.

00:35:33You were great friends, aren't you?

00:35:36I knew him.

00:35:37But...

00:35:38Quite well, hmm?

00:35:39Quite well.

00:35:40Did you often visit him?

00:35:43Yesterday was the first time in a long while.

00:35:47Who took this photograph, Miss French?

00:35:50He did.

00:35:51Where did you find this?

00:35:52It was found on the dead man.

00:35:53Oh.

00:35:55I didn't think you still carried it around with him.

00:35:56Funnily enough, it's the only picture I've ever liked of myself.

00:35:57He gave me the negative.

00:35:58Put it enlarged.

00:35:59It's the only picture I've ever liked of myself.

00:36:00He gave me the negative.

00:36:01Put it enlarged.

00:36:02Yes.

00:36:03It is very good.

00:36:04Yes.

00:36:05It is very good.

00:36:06It's the only picture I've ever liked of myself.

00:36:07He gave me the negative.

00:36:08Put it enlarged.

00:36:09Yes.

00:36:10It is very good.

00:36:11Are you sure that you haven't had anything to do with Kendall Brown recently?

00:36:13No.

00:36:14I don't think you still carried it around with him.

00:36:16It was found on the dead man.

00:36:18Oh.

00:36:19I didn't think you still carried it around with him.

00:36:22Funnily enough, it's the only picture I've ever liked of myself.

00:36:24He gave me the negative.

00:36:25Put it enlarged.

00:36:26Yes.

00:36:27It is very good.

00:36:30Are you sure that you haven't had anything to do with Kendall Brown recently?

00:36:37No.

00:36:39We met occasionally to have a drink.

00:36:42But that was just for old times' sake.

00:36:44But you had some important business to discuss with him yesterday, didn't you?

00:36:48You called on him three times.

00:36:51Three times?

00:36:54The landlady says you called twice before we arrived.

00:36:57The third time you came, you found we were there.

00:37:01You left wrong fast.

00:37:03I felt lonely.

00:37:07I wanted to see someone, so I went to him.

00:37:14Is that all?

00:37:16Yes, that is all.

00:37:20Miss French, if you think very hard and try to help us, perhaps we in turn could help you.

00:37:27In what way?

00:37:29Oh, I don't know.

00:37:30We have been known to be helpful to some people.

00:37:35This is a murder case, Miss French.

00:37:40All right, Inspector.

00:37:42I'll try and help you, but just at this moment I am in a hurry.

00:37:45I've got people coming and I have a headache.

00:37:48If only you could have come earlier.

00:37:50We tried earlier.

00:37:52You were out all day.

00:37:54Were you with Franklin Pryor?

00:38:00How do you know?

00:38:04Have I been followed?

00:38:06No, Miss French.

00:38:07Perhaps it's a curious coincidence.

00:38:09Mr. Pryor was at the airport at the time of the shooting.

00:38:12He gave us your address to contact him.

00:38:15It was a coincidence, wasn't it?

00:38:19Yes.

00:38:20He's a friend of mine, a visitor.

00:38:22And I would appreciate it very much if he were not involved in any of this.

00:38:26I understand.

00:38:28But just in case we do want to contact him, is this still his address?

00:38:34No, he has a hotel now, the Sussex.

00:38:37But you won't...

00:38:39No, we won't.

00:38:41I tell you what, Miss French.

00:38:43You think over everything you can tonight, and then you can call us tomorrow morning.

00:38:48Perhaps you'll have thought of something by then.

00:38:51Will that be all right?

00:38:52Yes, Inspector.

00:38:54I'll...

00:38:55I'll call you tomorrow.

00:38:57Good.

00:38:58May we have the...

00:39:04Thank you, Miss French.

00:39:06Good day.

00:39:22Did you see the young one, then?

00:39:24Wasn't he crazy there?

00:39:26There's...

00:39:27Something wrong, then?

00:39:29Did I say something?

00:39:31Oh, Cynthia.

00:39:32Oh, Cynthia.

00:39:33Oh, Cynthia.

00:39:34Oh, Cynthia.

00:39:35Come on.

00:39:40No, I'm...

00:39:41I'm just being silly.

00:39:46The people will be here in a minute.

00:39:48Come, we must hurry.

00:39:49We've got a lot to do.

00:40:05How's it going, Mr. Friar?

00:40:06Hello.

00:40:07Sorry to keep you waiting.

00:40:08Oh, that's all right.

00:40:09Come in, won't you?

00:40:11Take a seat.

00:40:12You remember, Cameron, don't you?

00:40:13Yes.

00:40:14Hello.

00:40:15Good afternoon, sir.

00:40:16Well, now, we'll be brief, Mr. Friar.

00:40:18We want to talk to you about Pauline French.

00:40:20We hope you'll cooperate.

00:40:21Well, I'll try.

00:40:22Let's start from yesterday morning at the airport.

00:40:24I'd like to go into this matter of a somewhat unusual coincidence.

00:40:27I presume that the person you expected to meet you there was Miss French.

00:40:30Is that presumption correct?

00:40:31Yes.

00:40:32And to the best of your knowledge, she failed to arrive.

00:40:34She didn't.

00:40:35I take it you know that Miss French was on intimate terms with Kendall Bray.

00:40:38And to the best of your knowledge, she failed to arrive.

00:40:40She didn't.

00:40:41I take it you know that Miss French was on intimate terms with Kendall Bray.

00:40:44And that that connection remained unbroken until yesterday.

00:40:57Well?

00:40:58It's possible that Miss French was at the airport, you know, and you didn't see her.

00:41:02Do you realize that?

00:41:03No, I didn't realize that.

00:41:05Kendall Bray was shot by an expert at a considerable distance.

00:41:10You know that Miss French is very good with a rifle, don't you?

00:41:16Yes.

00:41:17We have to think of everything.

00:41:20For instance, we have to ask ourselves whether it was a simple coincidence that you stopped Kendall Bray to get a light for your cigarette just by chance.

00:41:27Or whether that was a ruse to keep him still for a few moments so that he'd be a better target.

00:41:32That's absurd.

00:41:33It probably is.

00:41:34That's just the sort of thing one thinks about on this kind of job.

00:41:37Isn't it, sir?

00:41:39Do you know any of Miss French's friends or acquaintances?

00:41:44I haven't seen Miss French for six years.

00:41:46Well, until yesterday.

00:41:48I'm afraid I won't be able to help you gentlemen very much.

00:41:51The cartridge case of the bullet that killed Kendall Bray was found in the grounds of the airport.

00:41:57Now I'm going to tell you something rather curious, Mr. Bray.

00:42:01Near that cartridge case was a number of footprints which showed an uneven distribution of weight.

00:42:08And associated with them was a series of indentations in the ground which could have been caused by a walking stick or a crutch.

00:42:16That seems to ring a bell, Mr. Bray.

00:42:20No, I was just curious.

00:42:23What do you make of it?

00:42:25During your past two days at Miss French, did you see or did you hear her mention any person of her acquaintance who was crippled or who might have used some such walking aid?

00:42:35Well, as a matter of fact...

00:42:38Hello.

00:42:43The man we had covering Kendall Brown's house has picked up a taxi driver called Henry Stone.

00:42:50What was he doing?

00:42:51Waiting for the dead man.

00:42:53You'd better bring him up.

00:42:54I'll be right down.

00:42:55I'll be right down.

00:42:56Huh?

00:42:58Oh, she is?

00:43:00Yeah, I'll be right along.

00:43:02Take that into forensic on your way back.

00:43:08See, the wheels never stop.

00:43:11Well, Mr. Bray, you were saying?

00:43:14Well, yes, I was saying, as a matter of fact, Miss French is giving a party later on this afternoon so that I might meet some of her friends.

00:43:22If someone shows up using a crutch, I'll let you know.

00:43:26Good.

00:43:27Do you know anything about Kendall Brown, who he was?

00:43:30No.

00:43:31He's a man with a very bad record.

00:43:34I don't like to say this, but it doesn't speak too well for Miss French that you had any connection with him whatsoever.

00:43:39His police history is a very nasty one.

00:43:42There are charges against him for smuggling, charges for bigamy, in fact, all sorts of trouble with women.

00:43:48You're a visitor to this country, Mr. Brayor.

00:43:52We want you to enjoy your stay.

00:43:54If you could be persuaded not to have too much to do with Miss French until this matter is cleared up, I think you might avoid a lot of difficulty.

00:44:02All right, thank you.

00:44:04Oh, excuse me a moment.

00:44:06Mr. Stone?

00:44:12Yes, sir?

00:44:13I understand you were outside number 39 South Hill Street.

00:44:17It's a regular call of mine, sir.

00:44:19You could have knocked me down when the cop had told me he was a goner.

00:44:21Why were you so surprised?

00:44:23Well, it was fit enough a couple of weeks ago.

00:44:25I understand it was all in the papers, too.

00:44:27You drove him a couple of weeks ago?

00:44:28I drove him nearly every week, sir.

00:44:30See, like, I take him down to the river and then bring him back again.

00:44:33He's a shipping man or something, does a lot of his business down at the Spread Eagle.

00:44:37Where?

00:44:38It's a little pub down on the river, sir.

00:44:41Do you happen to keep a record of these trips?

00:44:43Oh, yes, I've got them here, I think, sir.

00:44:46Yes, this is it.

00:44:48Yes, there we are.

00:44:50I see you've got today's date here, Mr. Stone.

00:44:56Er, yes, that's right, sir.

00:44:57I was to take him today to the Spread Eagle.

00:45:00I see.

00:45:02Would you like to make up your affair to the Spread Eagle?

00:45:05Well, I wouldn't mind, you know.

00:45:07Good.

00:45:08You can take us down there and show us around.

00:45:09Yes, don't get to wait here for a minute.

00:45:10Yes, thank you.

00:45:14Well, Mr. Pryor, I think that's all for you.

00:45:16We've checked you very thoroughly.

00:45:19We know you're all right, but we'd like you to stay that way.

00:45:22London's a big and interesting city.

00:45:24Why not look at it on your own for a bit, hmm?

00:45:26Yes, roll with me then, eh?

00:45:28Yes.

00:45:29Thank you very much.

00:45:39Emeralds?

00:45:40Franklin Pryor's leaving the building.

00:45:42Better put a man on.

00:45:43Where's Cameron?

00:45:44Well, tell him to get rid of it.

00:45:46We've got a job to do.

00:45:48I think you'd better tell Mary to wash up some more glasses.

00:45:58Sure, yeah, yeah.

00:45:59Come on, stupid.

00:46:01Pauline, thanks so much for the invitation.

00:46:04Say, did you hear about Baby here?

00:46:05She's got the part.

00:46:06Oh, publicity so far.

00:46:08My own, of course.

00:46:09When do you start your lessons, Pauline?

00:46:11I don't know.

00:46:12George keeps changing his mind.

00:46:13Look, why don't you two go and speak to those producers anyway.

00:46:15Do yourself some good, hmm?

00:46:17Cynthia, I have to go out now and I don't know how long.

00:46:20Right now, ma'am?

00:46:21Yes, nobody will notice.

00:46:22Let them all have as much to drink as they want.

00:46:24What if Mr. Pryor calls?

00:46:26I don't think he will.

00:46:28So fair, using two hands?

00:46:30Take that out, I'll do it my own way.

00:46:32I don't mind about your neck, but I'm madly sort of hard.

00:46:35You got a neck one.

00:46:37Thanks.

00:46:46Oh, Mr. Pryor, I'm so glad you came.

00:46:49Miss French is just going out.

00:46:50Where is she?

00:46:51Upstairs in her bedroom.

00:46:53I did this when I was four years old.

00:46:58Oh, you're nice.

00:47:00Saved my life.

00:47:01Anytime.

00:47:02Oh, my hero.

00:47:03Come on, old chap.

00:47:04That's mine.

00:47:05We'll take better care of.

00:47:06Dog fat.

00:47:07You should have let her fall.

00:47:09Frank.

00:47:25Don, I just...

00:47:29What's wrong?

00:47:30My police are scoured.

00:47:39I have to get out of here.

00:47:44Where are you going?

00:47:46Oh, darling.

00:47:48I...

00:47:49I tried to telephone you this afternoon to explain.

00:47:56Frank, I must ask you, please don't try to stop me now.

00:48:01Go ahead.

00:48:02It doesn't make much difference whether I stop you now anyway.

00:48:04The police will do that.

00:48:06What for?

00:48:07Because they think you're involved with the murder of Kendall Brown.

00:48:13That's fantastic.

00:48:14Is it?

00:48:18The police are at the spread eagle right now.

00:48:20That man that you were talking with her today.

00:48:22The one who walks with a crutch.

00:48:24They've got linked with the actual shooting.

00:48:27How do you know this?

00:48:28I had a special invitation to Scotland Yard.

00:48:31They advised me to stay away from you if I wanted to keep out of trouble.

00:48:37Frank, please.

00:48:40I've waited too long and come too far.

00:48:43You better tell me what this is all about.

00:48:45I...

00:48:49What do you want to know?

00:48:51I want to know what you're hiding from me.

00:48:53What's separating us?

00:48:54Who is this Kendall Brown?

00:48:55Why was he killed?

00:48:56What have you got to do with it?

00:48:57And this...

00:48:58This lipping man.

00:48:59Who is he?

00:49:00Yes, you can!

00:49:01You can!

00:49:02Don't you understand?

00:49:03I don't care what you've done in the past.

00:49:05The important thing is us.

00:49:06Now...

00:49:07Pauline.

00:49:08I'm not going to let you shut yourself off from me any longer.

00:49:11Pauline.

00:49:13Pauline.

00:49:25All right.

00:49:26when when you left I was desperately alone I wanted to forget nothing was too

00:49:46wild or too crazy to try including Kendall Brown he was attractive and

00:49:55mysterious and I fell for you it's as simple as that is that it no it was more

00:50:15we did dangerous and I thought exciting things together we used my launch to pick

00:50:24up contraband from ships in the channel I did the navigating and I didn't ask

00:50:29questions all seemed to be part of the thrill that I needed but I didn't know

00:50:36how many other things apart from our petty smuggling he was involved or how

00:50:42rotten he was until later

00:50:47when I found out I left

00:50:54that was a year ago

00:50:59go on

00:51:04well he didn't want it that way

00:51:10foolishly I'd written letters that talked of everything we've done together

00:51:15he used those letters to get money from me

00:51:19and two weeks ago he said I could have them all back for two thousand pounds

00:51:25that was where I was going to collect them when I met the police

00:51:29well then your problem's over

00:51:32he's dead

00:51:33yes

00:51:34but he has a wife

00:51:37Helene Castle a singer

00:51:40now she has the letters

00:51:42and she wants the money

00:51:44she was the one who sent the man to the pub to find me this morning

00:51:48my maid told her we'd gone to the river

00:51:51the limping man

00:51:53yes

00:51:55I don't know what all the fuss about him is

00:51:57he's only the stage doorkeeper at the theater where she works

00:52:01that's where I've got to go now

00:52:05to buy back my past

00:52:10all sounds very sordid and ugly doesn't it

00:52:16that's the way it is Frank

00:52:19blackmailing can go on and on you know

00:52:21why didn't you go to the police

00:52:22wouldn't it be better that way

00:52:23no Frank

00:52:26if those letters were published don't you see what it would mean

00:52:30horrible publicity

00:52:32humiliation

00:52:34perhaps even jail

00:52:37I could never work again

00:52:41I couldn't face anyone

00:52:44even you

00:52:46especially you

00:52:49that's why I must go through with this

00:52:52there's no other way

00:52:54isn't there any way out of this building besides the front entrance

00:53:05yes I'm going down through the kitchen to use the fire escape

00:53:08I'm going with you

00:53:09no Frank you're not getting involved in this

00:53:11Frank please

00:54:13Sandwich. Thank you.

00:54:16Okay, girl. Come on. Get on with it.

00:54:17All right, get on with it, girl.

00:54:21Hey, hey.

00:54:33Believe it, darling. Come on. Come in.

00:54:41Don't tell Mommy, please.

00:54:43Tell her what?

00:54:44She gets awfully angry if we look at the mysteries on television.

00:54:49Okay, you go to bed and go to sleep, huh?

00:54:51And we won't breathe a word of it to your mother.

00:54:53Okay.

00:55:14Will you have a sandwich?

00:55:15No.

00:55:16You don't have to stand here, you know. There's some seats over there.

00:55:21No, thank you. They were just...

00:55:23No.

00:55:24No, thank you. They were just...

00:55:25No.

00:55:26You missed a bit.

00:55:27What?

00:55:28The diplomat was there.

00:55:29He was dead.

00:55:30Oh.

00:55:31He had a knife in his neck.

00:55:32Um, Brewster, the other fellow, left a tobacco tin.

00:55:33That's the only clue they've got so far.

00:55:34That's right.

00:55:35I don't know.

00:55:36No, there's some seats over there.

00:55:37There's some seats over there.

00:55:38No, thank you.

00:55:39No, thank you.

00:55:46What?

00:55:47Melody Jones went to the, um, nightclub owner's apartment.

00:55:49A diplomat was there.

00:55:51Yeah.

00:55:52He was dead.

00:55:53Oh.

00:55:54He had a knife in his neck.

00:55:55Um, Brewster, the other fellow, left a tobacco tin.

00:55:59That's the only clue they've got so far.

00:56:01That's where we are now.

00:56:02These two.

00:56:03He was the other chap who came in first.

00:56:05Oh, thanks.

00:56:07Did anyone come in here, Mr. Smith?

00:56:10Why, there's lots of people.

00:56:11The uncle, he's French, and there's an ethnic store.

00:56:14He's French, and there's an ethnic store.

00:56:16Is he still here?

00:56:17Yes, he's sitting out here.

00:56:18Oh, I'm sorry.

00:56:19I mean, they're powerful.

00:56:20Where'd they go?

00:56:22Police?

00:56:23The people who were sitting here.

00:56:24In here.

00:56:25In the kitchen.

00:56:39Who's there?

00:56:40Evan, son.

00:56:41Did anyone come down here?

00:56:42I didn't see anyone, son.

00:56:43Uh, that man.

00:56:44There.

00:56:45You work here?

00:56:46Yes, sir.

00:56:47A couple of strangers passed through just now.

00:56:48No, sir.

00:56:49I just came down Quinton's car away.

00:56:50Is that all right?

00:56:51Yes, all right.

00:56:52No, sir.

00:56:53It was all right.

00:56:55No.

00:56:58No.

00:57:00No.

00:57:02No.

00:57:12No.

00:57:13No, man.

00:57:14The

00:57:18The

00:57:22The

00:57:26The

00:57:30The

00:57:34The

00:57:36The

00:57:38The

00:57:44The

00:57:50The

00:57:52The

00:57:54The

00:57:56The

00:57:58The

00:58:00The

00:58:02The

00:58:04The

00:58:06The

00:58:08The

00:58:10The

00:58:12Who you are seeing, oh yes, your love too, yes, my heart's now agreeing to no more difference, I couldn't get there.

00:58:27George. Oh, hello, Miss French. She's on stage at the moment, but she left your message. She said, would you wait in the wings?

00:58:57But you didn't say yes when I asked you to stay. Of course, I confessed to it like me. Well, more, I couldn't get more.

00:59:14Careless, I guess I got careless when I felt your embrace, or your lips touched my face, and I thought I heard you say this was always me.

00:59:28Careless, I guess, when I let your rich world be the star and sense of the world for me.

00:59:40But now I couldn't care. That you've gone away. That you didn't mean when I asked you to stay. Of course, I confessed to it like me. Well, more, I couldn't care more.

01:00:06I couldn't care more. I couldn't care more.

01:00:10I couldn't care more. I couldn't care more.

01:00:12Hello. Come along with me.

01:00:18Come along with me.

01:00:22You want those letters, don't you? Yes.

01:00:40Have you got what you're supposed to give me? Yes, in here.

01:00:46Where are we? That's the stage.

01:00:53Are you afraid?

01:00:55What is that?

01:00:56The great Pauline French is frightened.

01:00:59That's a trap for the magician.

01:01:03You wait here. I'll be back.

01:01:16I'll be back.

01:01:17I'll be back.

01:01:18I've had a list of the little girls here.

01:01:23Jimmy...

01:01:24Take over the door for me for a moment, will you.

01:01:25That's downstream. I want to collect.

01:01:27Righto.

01:01:28Where is it like this?

01:01:29Righto.

01:01:30Actually, it's quite easy for me to do.

01:01:32Jimmy, take over the door for me for a moment, will you, that's downstairs. I want to collect them.

01:01:39Roger.

01:01:44Actually, it's quite easy for me to do this because we've been connected with the rope business one way and the other for so many, many years.

01:01:50There was an ancestor of mine, they showed him a rope trick.

01:01:53He won't be here tonight.

01:01:55He's hanging around somewhere, I guess.

01:01:58Magic word.

01:02:01You see, we've done it again.

01:02:04I'll do it again.

01:02:16All right.

01:02:28I have all school.

01:02:35I have fallen.

01:02:42Of course, it must be a shock.

01:02:45Oh, I'm not a ghost.

01:02:47Here, feel.

01:02:51Not dead.

01:02:53It sounds a little as if you wish I were.

01:02:55What are they saying?

01:02:59The reports of my death were greatly exaggerated.

01:03:03Aren't you glad to see me?

01:03:05An ex-good friend is still among the living.

01:03:07Don't wait any more time with her, Kelly.

01:03:09I've got to get on the stage for my last person.

01:03:13No, wait.

01:03:15Are you worrying about staying alone with him?

01:03:19I should do the worrying.

01:03:21How are you, my darling?

01:03:23Don't stop that mountain.

01:03:25Don't kill me, Pauline.

01:03:27Not me, not Kendall Brown.

01:03:29Remember? Us, remember?

01:03:33All right, Kelly.

01:03:35What do you want?

01:03:37I'm sorry.

01:03:39I'm sorry.

01:03:41I'm sorry.

01:03:43I'm sorry.

01:03:45I'm sorry.

01:03:47I'm sorry.

01:03:49Well, that's a little better.

01:03:53Now listen.

01:03:55First, I don't know any more than you do

01:03:57about this crazy idea the police had

01:03:59identifying me with the man who was shot.

01:04:03It just happens that

01:04:05I don't mind being dead for a while.

01:04:09Officially, that is.

01:04:11It'll solve a lot of my problems.

01:04:15The man who was killed had my photograph on him

01:04:18and letters addressed to you and others.

01:04:20Oh, I know who he was, all right.

01:04:22I've written a couple of deals when I was in Mexico.

01:04:25I left some things there and he was bringing them back to me.

01:04:30He was a bad boy and somebody was out to get him.

01:04:33I got the benefit.

01:04:35He got the bullet.

01:04:37And Elaine identified the body.

01:04:39Elaine's been very good.

01:04:42It was far better than I deserved.

01:04:47Well, that's true love, Pauling.

01:04:50I wish I had it from you.

01:04:52Ken, I've got the money.

01:04:55Please give me my letters.

01:05:00It's not just that simple.

01:05:02What else?

01:05:04Well, I've got to get out of England.

01:05:07It's pretty obvious that I can't get onto any plane or ships that I want to.

01:05:13You've got to help me and you're going to.

01:05:16No, you can't get me involved again.

01:05:18You said you wanted me out of your life, didn't you?

01:05:21Oh, you don't know how much.

01:05:24Here's your chance.

01:05:26Tonight I want two things.

01:05:32First, transportation to get me away.

01:05:35A little extra cash to help me get started on the continent.

01:05:39I want you to take me across the channel in your launch.

01:05:42When we get to the other side, you can give me the money and I'll give you the letters.

01:05:47Then I'll be out of your life altogether.

01:05:51That's easy, isn't it?

01:05:56You don't understand.

01:05:58Yes, but I do.

01:06:00You're an actress with a career.

01:06:03You want to build up a life for yourself.

01:06:06Maybe with some nice, clean living man who doesn't know too much about your past with me.

01:06:15You know, Pauline, your letters were wonderful to me, but everybody mightn't look at them that way.

01:06:27You were too frank, too uninhibited, and too good a writer.

01:06:35And then our little escapades on the river.

01:06:37Probably the customs officials wouldn't understand those.

01:06:40You see, I've got nothing to lose.

01:06:45I don't care if they do come out.

01:06:47And so I've had sets of photographs made.

01:06:50An original to the police, a coffee to the newspapers.

01:06:55They'll be posted tonight if anything unfortunate happens to me.

01:06:58But if you help me get across the channel, I'll give you all your letters when you get to the other side.

01:07:07Unless, of course, you want to stay with your continent.

01:07:12We'll forget that part.

01:07:14You leave me on the coast of France and your future is assured.

01:07:17Oh, it's worse, isn't it?

01:07:18It's your whole future.

01:07:28You don't think so, brother.

01:07:29Let you go.

01:07:34Hey, oh God, you've got something different.

01:07:36Bye, Ros girl.

01:07:37Bye, oh my God.

01:07:43Oop, Oop, Oop.

01:07:44ısıtrate to have a decent son,

01:07:49which is it?

01:07:50No men's experiments

01:07:51to have a beautiful other chapter.

01:07:55Mhm.

01:07:56I didn't want anybody to know I was around, especially a weak-headed old fool like this.

01:08:24What have you done to him, Jim?

01:08:26You'll be all right. I'll get him out of here.

01:08:30You'll remember our agreements.

01:08:32The laces.

01:08:50Oh, I'm looking for the blonde girl who came in here a few minutes still from outside.

01:08:53I'm sorry, sir. Only just come on.

01:08:55Well, Harleen Castle, I wonder if I could talk.

01:08:57Sir?

01:08:58The gentleman wants to see Miss Castle.

01:08:59I can't find her myself.

01:09:00Not in her dressing room.

01:09:01Haven't you seen her?

01:09:02No, sir.

01:09:03Well, it's very important to try to find her.

01:09:04You've got to find her.

01:09:05What about me?

01:09:06Did you only two minutes?

01:09:07Yes. You were looking for me?

01:09:08Where have you been?

01:09:09My name's Pryor.

01:09:10Miss French asked me to meet her.

01:09:12Who?

01:09:13Harleen French. Where is she?

01:09:14I don't know what you're talking about.

01:09:16Let me go.

01:09:17Now, please, sir.

01:09:18I know she was here and I know what she came for.

01:09:20Now, where is she?

01:09:21I don't know you.

01:09:23Will you send the commissioner to the stage door at once, please?

01:09:25You can't stop the show.

01:09:27You're staying here until I get an answer.

01:09:29Fire.

01:09:30Who do you want?

01:09:31It's all right. I can see him.

01:09:32People aren't allowed backstage like this.

01:09:34Scotland Yard.

01:09:35Scotland Yard?

01:09:36Thank God you are here, Inspector.

01:09:38This man is mad.

01:09:39He's holding up the show.

01:09:40I have to get on the stage.

01:09:41Please, Inspector, the show.

01:09:43Leave her alone, Pryor.

01:09:44Listen, Inspector.

01:09:45No, you listen to me, Pryor.

01:09:46I want you to keep out of this.

01:09:48You've obstructed an arrest already.

01:09:50Miss Pauline French.

01:09:51Ask her. She knows.

01:09:53Miss Castle?

01:09:54I don't know where she is, but I have to get on the stage.

01:09:56Can I see you after the curtain?

01:09:58Please, Inspector, the show.

01:09:59I'm telling you she knows.

01:10:01All right, Miss Castle. Go ahead.

01:10:02Hurry, hurry, please.

01:10:03Mind if we wait in the wind?

01:10:05Oh, anywhere.

01:10:06Anywhere, Inspector.

01:10:07But just keep quiet.

01:10:08No, Pryor.

01:10:09You're coming with us.

01:10:16You stay at the stage door.

01:10:17Have you got a couple of men to the front?

01:10:18Yes, sir.

01:10:19All right.

01:10:20Get them round, then.

01:10:33Let me see here.

01:10:34Did you bring them?

01:10:35No, I swear.

01:10:36I've got to get out of here.

01:10:37You know where to bring her.

01:10:38But I'm missing my curtain.

01:10:41Stay with me.

01:10:42We'll follow her in a few minutes.

01:10:43We're wasting time, you know.

01:10:44Mr. Pryor, you may think you're helping us, but we don't.

01:10:45What's the hole?

01:10:46Miss Castle should be back on stage by now.

01:10:47Miss Castle didn't go to her dressing room, sir.

01:10:49The finale costume's still there.

01:10:50Who's on the stage door?

01:10:51I am.

01:10:52Well, where's the stage door man?

01:10:53He took his crutch and went downstairs.

01:10:54Did you say crutch?

01:10:55Yes, he's got a bad neck.

01:10:56He always uses one.

01:10:57The living man.

01:10:58Take the curtain up.

01:10:59Curtain!

01:11:00Fire!

01:11:01What's the idea?

01:11:02I think this is your living man.

01:11:03The finale costume's still there.

01:11:04Who's on the stage door?

01:11:05I am.

01:11:06Well, where's the stage door man?

01:11:07He took his crutch and went downstairs.

01:11:08Did you say crutch?

01:11:09Yes, he's got a bad neck.

01:11:10He always uses one.

01:11:11The living man!

01:11:12Fire!

01:11:13Take the curtain up!

01:11:14Curtain!

01:11:25Fire!

01:11:26Where's the idea?

01:11:27I think this is your living man.

01:11:37In a bad way.

01:11:39Get it.

01:11:41Are you all right?

01:11:44You know how this happened.

01:11:49Yes.

01:11:50She's lying.

01:11:51We were together.

01:11:52We didn't see anything.

01:11:54Kendall Brown's alive.

01:11:55He did it.

01:11:56She doesn't know what she's talking about.

01:11:58He's dead.

01:11:59I identified him.

01:12:01When we check and I go, we don't rely on one person.

01:12:04That's why we're here.

01:12:06You'd better go to the ambulance with this man.

01:12:09All right, Kevin.

01:12:09Come on, take him up onto the stage.

01:12:11Yes, sir.

01:12:27I'm going to go to the stage door.

01:12:30Why?

01:12:31Tell our man at the stage door to stand by.

01:12:32And I want to see all theater personnel on stage.

01:12:34All right.

01:12:35Anyone go through that fast door on the last 10 minutes?

01:12:37No, sir.

01:12:38Oh, yes.

01:12:39George.

01:12:39George?

01:12:40Now stage door.

01:12:41He went through with his hat and coat on.

01:12:42Stage door.

01:12:44Cameron, phone our chaps at the front of the house and tell them to stop anyone with a limp.

01:12:47Yes.

01:12:47You get on stage, Juliana.

01:12:48Balcony.

01:13:15Frank!

01:13:45Oh, I'm sorry.

01:14:05How did I wake you?

01:14:06I wanted to return your magazine.

01:14:07Can you fasten your seatbelt, please?

01:14:16They're preparing to land now.

01:14:21Can you fasten your seatbelt, please?

01:14:24Can you fasten your seatbelt, please?

01:14:27No.

01:14:37Hi, Mr. Pryor.

01:14:53Didn't she show up yet?

01:14:54No, she hasn't.

01:14:54Don't worry about it.

01:14:55Have a good time in London.

01:14:59Frank!

01:15:00Oh, Frank!

01:15:01Oh, my God.

01:15:31Oh, my God.
