00:00:00The End
00:00:30The End
00:01:00The End
00:01:30The End
00:02:00Stealthily the hideous monster near his victim
00:02:04It's footsteps ringing metallically on the stone pavement
00:02:19The victim was still unaware of the approaching horror as the monster scrambled over the rooftop
00:02:36Slowly, slowly, slowly the monster approached
00:02:39Its shadow could now be seen through the fanlight
00:02:42Noiselessly the fanlight opens
00:02:44The horrifying moment is nigh
00:02:46The fiendish monster dropped to the ground
00:02:49As silent as the night
00:02:51Seat
00:03:03Oh dear
00:03:06I thought you were a blood-sucking vampire
00:03:09You wouldn't be the first
00:03:10Didn't you hear the jawbell?
00:03:12I'd better climb across that flaming roof like a cat burger
00:03:14Look, Sidney
00:03:15I'm highly strung
00:03:17And when I'm working, I'm oblivious to all
00:03:19Working?
00:03:19You call it work, reading those autobooks?
00:03:21Sidney, please
00:03:23I am a proofreader, Sidney
00:03:26A very integral part of the literary field, you know
00:03:29You see, someone has to check the grammar of every publication
00:03:32Although I said, who probably should not
00:03:35It's not everyone what can do it proper
00:03:36I see what you mean
00:03:38Besides
00:03:39It's more beneficial to mankind, is it not
00:03:41Than bookmaking
00:03:42You think so?
00:03:45How much did I pay you for reading that rubbish?
00:03:48If you must know, it's five and six for each horror
00:03:49And three and six for the sexy ones
00:03:52Why is it two bobs cheaper for the sexy ones?
00:03:54Oh, they reckon I'll get two bobs with the pleasure out of reading them
00:03:57That's fair enough
00:03:58How many have you gone through tonight?
00:03:59Oh, about four, I think
00:04:00Yeah, that's right
00:04:02I started off with the battered body in the basement
00:04:05And finished up with the fee into the second floor flat
00:04:07He gets a bat, doesn't he?
00:04:08Yeah
00:04:08Supper ready?
00:04:10I thought you were going to bring in cotton chips twice
00:04:11How many times do I have to tell you?
00:04:14It's my late evening at the dog's tonight
00:04:16It's your turn to make the omelette and baked beans
00:04:18It's sick
00:04:19Well, I'm up to my eyeballs in bloody bodies
00:04:22Don't talk to me about baked beans, please
00:04:24You're too temperamental, that's your trouble
00:04:25I will write on it down to the fish and chippery
00:04:28Tarsid
00:04:29Oh, Sidney, I'm highly imaginative, I know
00:04:32But would you mind leaving the door open, please?
00:04:34I've just reached the part here where the mad scientist is
00:04:37Following a trail of blood and gore leading him to the sewers
00:04:40Don't forget the gherkins
00:04:43You were quick
00:05:05Did you remember the gherkins?
00:05:09Mr. Broughton?
00:05:13Mr. Broughton?
00:05:16Yeah
00:05:16I thought you were Sid
00:05:19Everett Sloan, solicitor
00:05:21You are Mr. Ernest Broughton?
00:05:24Oh, yes I am, indeed
00:05:25I...
00:05:27Oh, no, if it's a rent, I'll have a check in the post tomorrow
00:05:29Your rent is no concern of mine, Mr. Broughton
00:05:31My business concerns itself with your uncle, Mr. Gabriel Broughton
00:05:34Uncle Gabriel?
00:05:36I don't owe him anything, do I?
00:05:37No
00:05:37No
00:05:40Oh
00:05:41Oh, that's all right, then
00:05:43The old boy's got himself into trouble, has he?
00:05:46In a way
00:05:47He's dead
00:05:49Oh
00:05:51Oh, well, if you're collecting for a wreath, I...
00:05:54Mr. Broughton, it's my duty to inform you
00:05:56That you're a beneficiary under your late uncle's will
00:05:58I am?
00:06:01As one of the surviving members of the Broughton family
00:06:04Well
00:06:05Thank you very, very much indeed, Mr. Sloan, for bringing me such good
00:06:08Sad news
00:06:10Very distressing when you
00:06:13You lose one of your nearest and dearest
00:06:15Very sad
00:06:16How much am I getting?
00:06:19I'm not in a position to tell you
00:06:20Could be almost anything
00:06:22Oh
00:06:22Well, that's nice
00:06:24Yes, it could be
00:06:26The reading of the will is tomorrow evening
00:06:28I trust that's convenient
00:06:29Oh, yes, yes, that'll be quite convenient
00:06:31Thank you very much
00:06:32Your instructions on how to reach Blackshaw Towers
00:06:34I'm very much obliged, Mr. Sloan
00:06:35Where?
00:06:37Blackshaw Towers
00:06:38Your late uncle's residence in Yorkshire
00:06:40Yorkshire?
00:06:42A very attractive county
00:06:43Blackshaw Towers itself commands the most imposing view of the moors
00:06:47Yes, well, I feel I should point out to you, you know, Mr. Sloan, that I do have several highly important sort of literary functions to attend and I'm afraid
00:06:55I'm afraid, I must point out, that failure to attend the reading may have serious, if not fatal, consequences
00:07:02Oh
00:07:04Better make every attempt to be there then
00:07:09Until tomorrow night, Mr. Sloan
00:07:11Mr. Sloan
00:07:15Yes
00:07:15What did my poor uncle die of?
00:07:19He died of status lymphaticus
00:07:21Oh, that's nice
00:07:22What's that?
00:07:24It's a glandular disturbance brought on by shock
00:07:26Ah, shock
00:07:28Yeah
00:07:28It's all electric
00:07:29No
00:07:30Fear
00:07:32Good night, Mr. Broughton
00:07:35Sorry, mate
00:07:44Down mansion, eh
00:07:50Hey, Ernie
00:07:56Who's that horrible looking zombie going down the stairs?
00:07:59Zombie?
00:08:00You're referring to my solicitor, Sidney
00:08:02Are you in trouble, then?
00:08:04I am not
00:08:05I'm a beneficiary
00:08:08You filthy swine
00:08:09How long can they give you for that?
00:08:12Sidney
00:08:12Sometimes I wonder how it's possible to live with an ignoramus
00:08:16Well, my little sinner
00:08:17You going away?
00:08:21Sidney
00:08:22If you must know, this is, um
00:08:24Rather a sad time for me
00:08:27My uncle Gabriel has just kicked the
00:08:30Has passed on
00:08:31And I have to go to Yorkshire tomorrow
00:08:33To the family residence
00:08:34To settle the family estate, you know
00:08:36Oh, yes, your lordship
00:08:37Well, if you'll excuse me, your lordship
00:08:39I'm going to have my fish and chips
00:08:40Your lordship
00:08:41How you can think of food at a time like this?
00:08:46There's my dear uncle Gabriel
00:08:51He's just departed
00:08:52And you
00:08:53Did you remember the gherkins?
00:08:55Of course
00:08:55Aren't you in the least bit interested
00:09:01As to what my solicitor imparted to me?
00:09:03No
00:09:03All right, then
00:09:06If you think more of your stomach
00:09:07Than you do of my good fortune
00:09:08I do
00:09:09All right
00:09:10I'll tell you then
00:09:21I thought you might
00:09:22I happen to have come in to rather a large fortune
00:09:28Wish I'd known
00:09:29I'd have ordered double chips
00:09:30How much we getting then?
00:09:33We, Sidney?
00:09:35I have to go up to Yorkshire tomorrow
00:09:37To find out exactly how much I have inherited
00:09:40Well, no, in your luck
00:09:42I'm prepared to lay two to one
00:09:44That you'll finish up with a brass candlestick
00:09:45And a china gazander
00:09:46Very well
00:09:50If you're going to scoff
00:09:53I might change my mind about asking you to accompany me
00:09:59You're asking me to accompany you
00:10:02Oh, Sid, please
00:10:03That's because I've gone up in the world
00:10:04Doesn't mean to say I'm going to desert my friends
00:10:06Besides, I think the trip will do you good
00:10:08Of course, you wouldn't be asking me
00:10:10Because you don't fancy the looks of this zombie solicitor, would you?
00:10:13Hey, put that outside
00:10:14That's just like you, isn't it?
00:10:20I do a friendly gesture and you go and twist it
00:10:22Well, Mr. Sloan might scare you, mate
00:10:25But he certainly doesn't frighten me
00:10:27Sorry to startle you, Mr. Broughton
00:10:30I dropped my scarf
00:10:33You'd better come to me, Sid
00:10:52Here we are
00:11:12Hey, Sid, this is your suitcase
00:11:16Good thing, I'll do it
00:11:18Oi
00:11:19Oi, oi, oi
00:11:21Anybody here?
00:11:24Blimey, if I'd known I wouldn't have bought a ticket
00:11:26Lively, isn't it?
00:11:36You wait there, I'll see if I can find a taxi
00:11:38Don't be long, Sid
00:11:39And don't get yourself into any trouble
00:11:41What be you up to?
00:12:06I'd be up for nothing
00:12:08Where be you come from?
00:12:11I'd be from London, actually
00:12:12I just got off the train
00:12:13Train?
00:12:14What train?
00:12:16The one that's just gone out
00:12:18Shouldn't happen without my knowing
00:12:19I always just be missing him
00:12:22Oh
00:12:23I see
00:12:25Well, actually, I'm waiting for a taxi
00:12:29No taxis run on this line
00:12:32Oh
00:12:33No, I suppose not really
00:12:35But
00:12:36My friend's out looking for one
00:12:37He'll be lucky
00:12:38Well, we've got to get up to Blackshaw Towers
00:12:42Blackshaw Towers?
00:12:44Yes
00:12:45My uncle lives there, actually
00:12:46Well, that is, he used to
00:12:48He died recently
00:12:49I'm not surprised
00:12:51You got any sense you'll stop away from that place?
00:12:57Ernie?
00:12:57Hmm?
00:12:58Come on
00:12:58Just a minute, Sid
00:12:59I've been talking to this chap here
00:13:00He says it's a bit dicey up at Blackshaw
00:13:01What chap?
00:13:03Well, the porter here
00:13:04Is it
00:13:04Mr. Porter?
00:13:07Mr. Porter?
00:13:08Ernie
00:13:08You're having him again
00:13:09Now, listen, Sid
00:13:10I'm not having him
00:13:11I was over there reading that timetable, see
00:13:13Suddenly I got a smack in the nose like that
00:13:14When I came to, there he was
00:13:15Little short, sort of wispy bloke he was
00:13:17With a tash
00:13:17He looked like a rat looking through a bundle of open like this
00:13:20You finished?
00:13:22Pick up the cases
00:13:23Come on, I've got the transport
00:13:24Come on
00:13:24There's room for one in back
00:13:35Come on
00:13:43Sid
00:13:50Is this an omen?
00:13:52No, it's a Rolls Royce
00:13:54Get in
00:13:54Come on
00:13:55Take it easy, can't you?
00:14:03Oh, shut up, Moaning
00:14:04You're better off than the ones who usually go in the back
00:14:06Is this it?
00:14:12Nay
00:14:12I aren't going no further
00:14:14Now, look here, my man
00:14:16Now, you look here
00:14:17I aren't sure I can get to Blackshaw Towers in this weather
00:14:20Even if I did, I aren't sure I'd get back
00:14:23Now, wait a minute, mate
00:14:24You said
00:14:24I said now
00:14:25I'll take you back to the station
00:14:28Or you can oof it to the towers
00:14:29Oof it?

00:14:36Make up your mind
00:14:38Come on, Ernie

00:16:21Never mind, mate
00:16:24I guarantee you we get a giggle out of the place
00:16:26Perhaps I'm being a bit optimistic
00:16:32I think we'd better go round the back

00:23:19Have a very fine family tree.
00:23:20Yeah?
00:23:21Well, if we hurry up and get downstairs,
00:23:23we might be just in time to see them swinging from the branches by their tails.
00:23:26I regard that as low-class humour, Sidney.
00:23:28I'll trouble you to observe a little more decorum when you meet the family tonight.
00:23:31Excuse me.
00:23:32At least take your hat off at the dinner table here.
00:23:35So you're proud of your family, then?
00:23:36You reckon they landed gentry?
00:23:38Well, you can see that for yourself, Sid.
00:23:40My cousin Guy, for instance.
00:23:43Norman blood there, I think.
00:23:4590% proof.
00:23:46Sidney, you're talking of my stock.
00:23:48They're full of breeding, gentility.
00:23:50Charm.
00:23:53You drunk and fool, Guy!
00:23:56Janet!
00:23:57You peep out of this, Father.
00:23:58Guy's drinking will ruin everything.
00:24:01Oh, Janet, really.
00:24:02Your manners are appalling.
00:24:03And kindly lower your voice to a scream, at least.
00:24:06Why are you always bickering?
00:24:08Simple, Father.
00:24:09My dear sister and I have absolutely nothing in common.
00:24:12Except you, Peter.
00:24:15And who is this upstart who's just arrived?
00:24:18Cousin Ernest.
00:24:19Ernest?
00:24:20I've never even heard of him.
00:24:21No, probably one of our lower-class relations.
00:24:24However, does it matter?
00:24:25Of course it matters.
00:24:26He's probably only here to see what he can claim out of Gabriel's will.
00:24:29See what he can get out of it.
00:24:30Aren't we all?
00:24:31I bet they'll welcome me with open arms, Sidney.
00:24:33Yeah, I'm sure they will.
00:24:34Come on, hurry up.
00:24:35Just a minute.
00:24:37I'm looking, Sid.
00:24:39Marvellous.
00:24:41Are you coming in for a beauty competition?
00:24:43It's got to be neat.
00:24:46I'll see you downstairs.
00:24:47And don't come down after midnight, because you'll change into a pumpkin.
00:24:50Pumpkin.
00:24:53Pumpkin.
00:24:54Midnight.
00:25:20What do you do?
00:25:37I'm Ernest.
00:25:39Are you one of my relations?
00:25:50Say, did you see him?
00:26:02Oh, Liberace.
00:26:03I hope he's not one of the family.
00:26:05I wouldn't be surprised.
00:26:05Let's go and see.
00:26:07Why wasn't Will Redd when we arrived?
00:26:09It's intolerable.
00:26:10Don't be too impatient, Janet.
00:26:12As I told you, Gabriel might have left the whole lot to lower-class Ernest.
00:26:15That is not funny, Guy.
00:26:17Malcolm, have you met this Ernest?
00:26:21Yes.
00:26:23Yes.
00:26:25It's quite mad.
00:26:27That's rich coming from you.
00:26:30Hello, hello, hello.
00:26:31Amy, present me Mr. Ernest Broughton, my client and number one contender for the legacy stakes.
00:26:40I am Dr. Edward Broughton, Gabriel's brother, and therefore your uncle, I suppose.
00:26:47How do you do?
00:26:54You meant Guy and Malcolm?
00:26:58Oh, yes.
00:27:01Yes.
00:27:02My daughter, Janet.
00:27:04Oh, highly charmed.
00:27:06Oh, sorry.
00:27:09Oh, please, excuse me.
00:27:11Can I wipe you up?
00:27:12I mean down.
00:27:14Never mind.
00:27:16See?
00:27:19The cat's got me.
00:27:23The pulley.
00:27:23Oh, we're all here.
00:27:35How cozy.
00:27:36We've been waiting for you, Aunt Emily.
00:27:38Have you?
00:27:39How nice.
00:27:40I've been finishing one of my woolly helmets for the boys in the trenches.
00:27:44It's a bit late for that, isn't it?
00:27:46The war was over years ago.
00:27:47Nonsense.
00:27:48It only started in 1914.
00:27:51And it would all be over by now if it wasn't for the politicians.
00:27:54Things will be very different when Mrs. Pankhurst gets us women the vote.
00:27:59Oh, the baby of the family.
00:28:04You must be Ernest.
00:28:06I haven't seen you since you were in your pram.
00:28:09You haven't changed a bit.
00:28:12Oh.
00:28:14Oh, I must have done.
00:28:16And what is your profession, Ernest?
00:28:19Oh, um, literary.
00:28:22Good evening.
00:28:24If you'll all be seated.
00:28:26That's it, old boy.
00:28:27Bring the classroom to order.
00:28:29I don't think we've met, Mr.
00:28:33We have, mate, but you wouldn't remember.
00:28:35Butler.
00:28:36Sidney Butler, Mr. Broughton's legal advisor.
00:28:38Oh.
00:28:40Well.
00:28:42Are we all present?
00:28:43Shall we number from the left?
00:28:46Miss Dixon.
00:28:47Who?
00:28:48Miss Dixon.
00:28:50Gabriel's nurse?
00:28:51Why should she be present?
00:28:53It was Mr. Gabriel Broughton's express wish that she should be present at the reading of the will.
00:28:57Why?
00:28:57That remains to be seen.
00:29:01If this person has left anything, I shall certainly contest it.
00:29:05It's well known that nurses have an undue influence on a dying man.
00:29:09I'm quite sure I didn't.
00:29:10Well, things are beginning to brighten up roundly.
00:29:13Don't just sit there.
00:29:13Get the lady a chair.
00:29:15Oh, yes.
00:29:15Yes.
00:29:16Of course.
00:29:17Here we are.
00:29:17You'll be nice and comfortable there.
00:29:18Thank you, Mr.
00:29:20Sidney.
00:29:20Call me Sidney.
00:29:21Gentleman of the turf.
00:29:25We can't begin until you're seated, Mr. Broughton.
00:29:29I know, no.
00:29:30Of course not.
00:29:30You're keeping us all waiting.
00:29:41Yes.
00:29:42I'm terribly sorry.
00:29:44I...
00:29:44Why don't you sit here?
00:29:45There's plenty of room.
00:29:58Pardon my back home, ma'am.
00:29:59Now, then.
00:30:14The last will and testament of Mr. Gabriel Broughton.
00:30:20I, Gabriel Broughton, being of sound mind...
00:30:25I, Gabriel Broughton, being of sound mind, do hereby bequeath to each member of my family
00:30:37present at Blackshaw Towers nothing.
00:30:47What a diabolical liberty.
00:30:50He can't do this for me.
00:30:51Guy.
00:30:52Mr. Sloan, do you mean to say my uncle left us...
00:30:56Nothing, my dear.
00:30:58Nothing.
00:30:59We shall contest it.
00:31:01When was the will dated?
00:31:03The day prior to Mr. Gabriel Broughton's death.
00:31:06It was witnessed by myself and Dr. Edward.
00:31:11Did anyone see Uncle Gabriel after he made his will?
00:31:17I, uh, I was alone with him that last day.
00:31:22Hard luck, Father Ilbeen, who polished off the old boy for nothing.
00:31:31Miss Dixon.
00:31:33Yes?
00:31:33You must have attended Gabriel that last day.
00:31:37As a matter of fact, I did not.
00:31:39On that day, Mr. Gabriel instructed that only Dr. Edward should attend him.
00:31:43He was most emphatic about it.
00:31:45He died that night.
00:31:46Anything else, Mr. Sloan?
00:31:49Oh, yes.
00:31:51There's the matter of Miss Dixon.
00:31:55You want to invest this very carefully.
00:31:57My card.
00:31:58To Miss Linda Dixon, who has nursed me in a most solicitous manner during my recent illness,
00:32:07I bequeathed my drugs, pills, hypodermic syringe, and empty medicine bottles.
00:32:16Hard luck, Janet.
00:32:34You hated us all, didn't you?
00:32:36I could hardly blame him, my dear.
00:32:41Well, I don't understand it.
00:32:43Of course, why did he bring us all this way just to tell us that he's left a sweet Fanny Adams?
00:32:47Well, it's simple.
00:32:49He was like the rest of us.
00:32:52Quite mad.
00:32:52That settles it.
00:32:54Come on, Satan.
00:32:54And where do you think you're going?
00:32:56Home.
00:33:01Ernest.
00:33:03Yes, Annemarie?
00:33:04I've been thinking of someone who might help you in your career.
00:33:07Are you acquainted with Mr. Shaw?
00:33:10Um, Artie Shaw?
00:33:12Bernard Shaw.
00:33:12Oh, most influential.
00:33:14You really must meet Mr. Shaw.
00:33:17Uh, well, I thought that he was, um...
00:33:19Oh, Bessie?
00:33:19Oh, nonsense.
00:33:20What's the use of having influential friends if you can't take advantage of it?
00:33:26Say it.
00:33:28Say it.
00:33:32Say it to me.
00:33:35Say it.
00:33:36Here's my...
00:33:37Oh, my goodness.
00:33:40What's the matter?
00:33:40Do you need a tan up in the meter?
00:33:42Oh, I do think candlelight is so much nicer.
00:33:44Is it a fuse?
00:33:45We have our own powerhouse.
00:33:47Must be something wrong with the generator.
00:33:48Well, let's have a look at it, then.
00:33:49It's in the ground.
00:33:51Right.
00:34:03I think I'll stay and look after the ladies, see me.
00:34:11Hey, Fisk.
00:34:12That dog, Harling, where is it?
00:34:14There are no dogs here, sir.
00:34:15Strange.
00:34:20Strange.
00:34:21That should be lost.
00:34:32Oh, blimey, a fat hope of fixing that.
00:34:35Looks as though someone's lost their temper a bit.
00:34:38But who did it?
00:34:38Ah, who can say.
00:34:40But one thing is certain, though.
00:34:43What's that?
00:34:43This is only the start.
00:34:56What's he sitting out there for?
00:34:59Oh, dear.
00:34:59It's unbelievable.
00:35:00Why, he'll catch his death.
00:35:02His death, his death, his death.
00:35:04Achoo!
00:35:10Is he?
00:35:12Well, if he ain't, he's a very heavy sleeper.
00:35:14Well, we, we can't leave him round here, can we?
00:35:21Well, here, look.
00:35:23Let's put him in the potting shed.
00:35:24It's over there somewhere.
00:35:25Well, it'd be easier to bring the potting shed over to him.
00:35:32Come on.
00:35:33I know.
00:35:34Have you fixed it?
00:35:37No.
00:35:38Something terrible's happened.
00:35:40It's Edward, isn't it?
00:35:42How did you know?
00:35:45He was mad, of course.
00:35:47Quite mad.
00:35:48What's happened to father?
00:35:52An accident?
00:35:53An accident at my foot.
00:35:55We found him dead.
00:35:56And by the look of it, it's murder.
00:35:57Murder?
00:35:58I think we'd better phone the police.
00:36:00We do want the police here, surely.
00:36:02Hey?
00:36:03There's some bloke knocking about the place we don't know anything about.
00:36:06There's no one here but us.
00:36:08There must be.
00:36:09Why?
00:36:10Why?
00:36:11Well, I mean, if there isn't anybody else,
00:36:14then it means that the murderer is one of us.
00:36:17A most illuminating deduction.
00:36:20Well, that settles it.
00:36:22I'm going to ring the police.
00:36:23Send for that taxi as well.
00:36:34Are you all right?
00:36:38What I said just now...
00:36:45What I said just now...
00:36:47about the murderer being one of us.
00:36:49I didn't mean to intimate you, of course.
00:36:51What?
00:36:52I know.
00:36:53Anyway, there's no need for you to worry now.
00:36:56I'm here.
00:36:57Dead.
00:36:58Oh, shoot the phone!
00:37:00Perhaps they haven't paid the bill.
00:37:03Hello?
00:37:06Hello?
00:37:06Hello?
00:37:10I'm going down the village.
00:37:12It's impossible to reach the village across the moors.
00:37:14Where's the police station?
00:37:17In the village.
00:37:20Well, then?
00:37:20Where's the nearest telephone box?
00:37:22In the village.
00:37:23Well?
00:37:26Sydney.
00:37:27Don't worry, mate.
00:37:28We'll use the AA box.
00:37:29Oh.
00:37:30That's more like it.
00:37:32Where is it, Sydney?
00:37:33In the village.
00:37:35What are we going to do?
00:37:37There's only one thing we can do.
00:37:38Wait.
00:37:44If he thinks...
00:37:45If he thinks I'm going to stay here
00:37:46and end up in a deck chair on the lawn,
00:37:47he's got another thing coming to me, Sydney.
00:37:49I've had my summer holidays.
00:37:51I can't spend the night here.
00:37:53I'd rather be sucked down in the mire.
00:37:55You've been in the mire for years, mate.
00:37:57That won't stop me from going home, Sydney.
00:38:03I really must insist on your staying here tonight, Mr. Ernest.
00:38:07Why?
00:38:08Because if...
00:38:09I say if...
00:38:10Dr. Edward's murderer was one of us,
00:38:12then it would be most unwise
00:38:14to allow a possible suspect to escape.
00:38:16Oh.
00:38:17So I'm the chief suspect now, am I?
00:38:19Not necessarily.
00:38:20But if you'll all take my advice,
00:38:30you'll retire to your own rooms
00:38:31and lock yourselves in.
00:38:35I'll see you to your room, Miss Emily.
00:38:37Oh, thank you.
00:38:38How kind of it.
00:38:39You haven't seen Edward.
00:38:42Oh.
00:38:43Ernest, I haven't forgotten about Bernard Shaw.
00:38:46Neither have I, auntie.
00:38:48Good night.
00:38:48Good night, aunt.
00:38:49Good night.
00:38:50Good night, dear, now.
00:38:57May I suggest to stop that appalling cacophony?
00:39:01That's right, Major.
00:39:03Back up the Joanna.
00:39:04Get upstairs on the organ.
00:39:07I'll see that Fisk bolts the door.
00:39:10That's a good idea.
00:39:11If I'm going to stay here,
00:39:13I want to make certain no one breaks in.
00:39:15Or out.
00:39:16You know, Sid,
00:39:21every horror book I've ever read is based on him.
00:39:24Yeah, he's a lovely boy.
00:39:25He looks bonkers enough to be one of the family.
00:39:27I see you've studied us very well, Mr. Butler.
00:39:30Come on.
00:39:30I've had enough of your family for one night.
00:39:34Nighty-nighty.
00:39:34Pleasant dreams.
00:39:36Pleasant dreams.
00:39:42It's only the start of it.
00:39:44There'll be another one yet.
00:39:46Come on, laughing boy.
00:39:48Mark my words.
00:39:50I wish I was back in the flat
00:40:15reading the case of the battered blonde.
00:40:17Well, you ain't.
00:40:18And it's a pity
00:40:18because I'd lay six to four on it.
00:40:20On what?
00:40:20That you're next.
00:40:21Sleep well.
00:40:23Oh, I say your room's comfortable, isn't it?
00:40:25Yes, isn't it?
00:40:26Would you like me to stay
00:40:26and sort of tell you a story?
00:40:27No, I wouldn't.
00:40:28You up along to your room
00:40:29and when you get there,
00:40:30if you get there,
00:40:32lock the door
00:40:32and don't open it for anybody but me.
00:40:34Oh, well, I know it's you.
00:40:36I'll burst into some.
00:40:39What song?
00:40:40Do you know
00:40:41you're beginning to get on my nerves?
00:40:43No, but if you hum it over
00:40:44I can remember the tune.

00:40:47Go.

00:44:03Get up, Sidney!
00:44:08It's marvellous, isn't it?
00:44:09I can't leave you alone for five minutes.
00:44:11What happened?
00:44:12I saw the shadow of this thing on the wall,
00:44:14and I thought it was the murderer.
00:44:16I'd come into attack Linda.
00:44:18You dead imagination of yours.
00:44:19You'd have been safer back in my room.
00:44:22Becky?
00:44:24Oh, you've been playing Romeo as well as Goliath.
00:44:26Everything all right?
00:44:27It was a little of a row.
00:44:28He saw the suit of arm, and he thought it was the murderer.
00:44:32Silly, isn't it?
00:44:33Yeah, very comical.
00:44:35Well, um...
00:44:39Come, goodnight, Linda.
00:44:40I'm very sorry if I just told you all.
00:44:42Goodnight, Ernie.
00:44:44And thank you for trying to protect me.
00:44:45You're sweet.
00:44:50Some fellas have got it, and some fellas don't.
00:44:52Well, if you've got it, mate, I don't know where you're hiding it.
00:44:56Well, you seem to have found your knight in shining armour.
00:44:59He's a pet.
00:45:00Yes.
00:45:01Shall I see you to your room?
00:45:02You needn't bother.
00:45:03Oh, no trouble at all.
00:45:05I must try and act the gentleman.
00:45:06Oh, nothing there.
00:45:15Nothing?
00:45:19No Santa Claus?
00:45:21Better be safe than sorry, Sid.
00:45:22That's a funny place to keep it.
00:45:36Good night.
00:45:37Oh, God.
00:45:38Not ready for bed yet.
00:45:39I am.
00:45:41Hey, er...
00:45:43Sid.
00:45:45Spend the night with me, will you?
00:45:46I don't want to wake up in the morning and find myself, you know.
00:45:52All right.
00:45:53Thank you, Sid.
00:45:57Here you are, Sidney.
00:45:58These are for you.
00:46:04I'm not wearing that.
00:46:06Well, look, Sid.
00:46:07As you've lost your luggage, allow me.
00:46:10Your present.
00:46:10My pyjamas.
00:46:12Good, Ernie.
00:46:13Right.
00:46:14Right.
00:46:14I'll sleep over this, Sidney.
00:46:16I'll sleep over it, eh?
00:46:20De de de de de de de de dee de.
00:46:54Oh, these things are going to keep me awake for the start.
00:47:22Oh, I don't know, Sidney. I think they look very chic.
00:47:25Oh, in the bed.
00:47:26Oh, it's been a nice day, Sidney.
00:47:46Good night.
00:47:49Sidney?
00:47:49Oh, what is it?
00:47:51Sidney, please.
00:47:52Oh, for crying out now, what do you want?
00:47:54Light the candle, Sid. I can't sleep in the dark.
00:47:56Honestly, not in this place.
00:47:57Oh, do me a favour.
00:47:58All right, Sidney, please.
00:47:59Look, if you blow the candle up, I'll just have to sing all night
00:48:02or walk up and down or something, Sid.
00:48:03I can't sleep in the dark.
00:48:05Suit yourself.
00:48:06All right.
00:48:06Why do I have to get lumbered with you?
00:48:16I don't know, Sid.
00:48:17It's just one of those remarkable things of life, I suppose.
00:48:21Don't know how they happen.
00:48:22You're just one of the naturally lucky ones, I suppose.
00:48:25Leave it.
00:48:25I'll have some fresh air.
00:48:26Oh, well, Sid.
00:48:27Come here.
00:48:43What shall we talk about, Sidney?
00:48:44Nothing.
00:48:57Sorry, Sid.
00:49:18You've got such a funny face.
00:49:20Am I?
00:49:21Yeah.
00:49:22You know, sort of one of clown faces, you know.
00:49:25Very homely, but very humorous.
00:49:26That's funny.
00:49:28Ernie?
00:49:29Yeah?
00:49:29Do me a favor.
00:49:30Oh, of course I will.
00:49:31Shut up!
00:49:32Sidney, please.
00:49:34You must learn to control yourself.
00:49:36Frighten the life out of me, then.
00:49:37Good night, naughty.
00:49:41Good night.
00:49:44Big ears.
00:49:50Is that you, Ernest?
00:49:56Now, what's wrong?
00:50:06Heard a squeak.
00:50:07I'll go to sleep.
00:50:08Oh, give over, Ernie.
00:50:31Go to sleep.
00:50:32I am trying to.
00:50:34Well, keep still, then.
00:50:35Hey, Sid.
00:50:41Hmm?
00:50:42You've forgotten to take your boots off.
00:50:44What are you talking about?
00:50:47Well, have you taken them off?
00:50:48Of course I've taken them off.
00:50:51Shocking swelling on your toe, then.
00:50:52Oh, I pity the woman who marries you.
00:50:56Well, at least she won't come to bed with her boots on.
00:50:57Well, she'd be better off if she did.
00:50:59Now, belt up!
00:50:59Yes?
00:51:16What do you want, Sid?
00:51:17I want to go to sleep.
00:51:20Well, stop nudging me, then.
00:51:22Oh, Gummy, I'll nudge you in a minute.
00:51:24I've told you, mate, I'm tired.
00:51:49Do you mind?
00:51:50You started it.
00:51:55Thought you wanted to play our fight game.
00:51:57I don't know.
00:52:10I want to turn it off.
00:52:11I'll nudge you in a minute.
00:52:15Ah!
00:52:16Ah!
00:52:18Ah!
00:52:19Ah!
00:52:19Was it my fault?
00:52:49Yes, I want to go.
00:53:11We're going tomorrow morning.
00:53:13Not that sort of...
00:53:18Go, Sid.
00:53:19What do you want me to do?
00:53:20Hold your hand?
00:53:21Here.
00:53:22Oh!
00:53:23Oh!
00:53:24Oh!
00:53:25Oh!
00:53:26Oh!
00:53:27Oh!
00:53:28Oh!
00:53:29Oh!
00:53:30Oh!
00:53:31Oh!
00:53:32Oh!
00:53:33Oh!
00:53:34Oh!
00:53:35Oh!
00:53:36Oh!
00:53:37Oh!
00:53:38Oh!
00:53:39Oh!
00:53:40Oh!
00:53:41Oh!
00:53:43Oh!
00:53:44Oh!
00:53:45Oh!
00:53:46Oh!
00:53:47Oh!
00:53:48If you're a professor.
00:53:51Oh!
00:53:56Oh!
00:53:58Oh!
00:53:59Oh!
00:54:00Oh!
00:54:02Seriously!
00:54:09Oh!
00:54:15Is that you, Ernie?
00:54:45Is that you, Ernie?
00:55:15Yeah, always knew I should have kept up my piano lessons.
00:55:37Oh, lovely.
00:55:40Perhaps you'll give me a few piano lessons when we get to London.
00:55:43I'll give you my address.
00:55:45Oh, you slipped up there, Malcolm.
00:55:57You see, look, you don't look all tense like that.
00:55:59You've got to relax.
00:56:03Like that, Malcolm, you see.
00:56:04Malcolm, look.
00:56:09Malcolm!
00:56:13Oh.
00:56:13Sidney!
00:56:20Sidney!
00:56:23Come here, Ernie!
00:56:27Come here, Ernie!
00:56:32Ernie!
00:56:33Where are you?
00:56:38Ernie!
00:56:39Well, who did that?
00:56:43I don't know.
00:56:45Don't touch anything.
00:56:46I wasn't go-to.
00:56:47But I think a little reference might not be out of place.
00:56:55The door was locked on the inside.
00:56:58Well?
00:57:00Wasn't it?
00:57:01Er, yes.
00:57:04Well?
00:57:06Well, what?
00:57:08Hey, surely you don't think that I do...
00:57:09What else can we think?
00:57:11He couldn't do a thing like that.
00:57:13I know him.
00:57:13You may, but we do not.
00:57:15I'm not entirely convinced that your friend is the fool he makes himself out to be.
00:57:20Oh, yes I am.
00:57:22Look, Ernie, I don't care what you think.
00:57:24The window was locked on the inside, too.
00:57:27Well, look, it's all certain.
00:57:29You must have seen something.
00:57:31Who did it?
00:57:31I don't know, Sid.
00:57:32We were up there.
00:57:33We were playing chopsticks.
00:57:35And, well, he's...
00:57:36I think we'd better secure him in here until the morning.
00:57:40Sid.
00:57:41Don't worry, mate.
00:57:42I'll stay here with you.
00:57:43Do you think that's wise?
00:57:44Oh, don't tell me what to do.
00:57:46As I wish.
00:57:46It's very much your funeral, if you know what I'm in.
00:57:53Miss Dixon?
00:57:55You want to watch out for him?
00:57:56While I'm locked up in here, I'll be knocking off the whole family.
00:57:58I'm perfectly harmless, I assure you.
00:58:00It'll be all right.
00:58:01Of course it will.
00:58:02And we'll be the safest that I'm not locked up in here.
00:58:04Mr. Guy, Miss Dixon.
00:58:09Well, I hope they have a restful night.
00:58:16What are we going to do?
00:58:18I don't know, mate.
00:58:20There must have been somebody else in here with you.
00:58:24Who was?
00:58:25Ah, who?
00:58:26Him.
00:58:27Oh, turn it up.
00:58:28Somebody else, the murderer.
00:58:30How could there have been, Sid?
00:58:32How could he have gone out with the door locked from the inside?
00:58:36Yeah.
00:58:37And the window's locked, too.
00:58:40I think I've got it, Sidney.
00:58:41Yeah?
00:58:42All these panels are on the wall.
00:58:43Yeah?
00:58:43It was that book, Blood on My Cauliflower.
00:58:46It had a secret panel.
00:58:47Oh, stop talking a lot of nonsense.
00:58:49Okay?
00:58:51All right?
00:58:52Wait a minute.
00:58:53You could be right.
00:58:54I could?
00:58:55Yes.
00:58:56You look at those.
00:58:56I'll look at this one here.
00:59:04I got it here, mate.
00:59:05I just heard an echo.
00:59:06This one's hollow.
00:59:07Listen.
00:59:11Honey?
00:59:16Ernie, get away from the wall.
00:59:32But I heard something here.
00:59:33Get away from the wall!
00:59:34I don't know if China helps it.
00:59:41There must have been someone else in this room.
00:59:44I know what I'll do.
00:59:45I'll reconstruct a crime.
00:59:47Now, I was sitting here, playing chopsticks.
00:59:55Sorry, Malcolm.
00:59:56Ernie!
00:59:57What are you shouting about?
00:59:57Ernie?
00:59:58What are you shouting about?
00:59:59Ernie?
01:00:00What are you shouting about?
01:00:01Ernie?
01:00:02Ernie?
01:00:03Ed.
01:00:04Shh!
01:00:05Sorry.
01:00:06Mute.
01:00:09Ernie!
01:00:11Find the panel yourself, if you're so clever.
01:00:16Here, Ernie, look what I've discovered!
01:00:19Ernie!
01:00:20What are you shouting about?
01:00:23Ernie?
01:00:25Sydney?
01:00:28Sydney?
01:00:28Where are you?
01:00:29Behind the mirror!
01:00:30Ah!
01:00:33What are you doing behind there?
01:00:35Laying out and seek.
01:00:36Get me out!
01:00:37Yes.
01:00:39Well, how?
01:00:40Oh, I don't know.
01:00:41Wait a minute, there's a piece of chain here.
01:00:47Ernie?
01:00:48Yeah?
01:00:49Are you behind there now?
01:00:50Yeah, there's something in the cupboard.
01:00:51Well, pull the chain!
01:00:56We're not, there's something in here, boy.
01:00:57Come on.
01:00:58I know nothing.
01:00:59I'd rather stay here, sir.
01:01:00Don't be silly, we've got to get this sorted out tonight.
01:01:02The family will have you undrew in a corner by tomorrow.
01:01:04Come on.
01:01:05However, the rest of the night may remain undisturbed,
01:01:08now that Mr. Ernest is locked away.
01:01:10Locked away?
01:01:11Oh, dear, dear.
01:01:12I had no idea.
01:01:13Poor boy.
01:01:14It's ridiculous.
01:01:15He wouldn't hurt a fly.
01:01:16The young man's attitude towards insect life
01:01:19does not concern us, Miss Dixon.
01:01:21I think it's most inconsiderate of Edward and Malcolm
01:01:24to leave without saying goodbye to me.
01:01:26Well, I think I shall go to my womb.
01:01:30Termites.
01:01:32There, boy!
01:01:37The regular mazes out.
01:01:38How did you get behind there?
01:01:41The same way that the murderer did.
01:01:43There's a secret passage and a stairway leading up to the organ room.
01:01:45Well, wonders will never cease.
01:01:47Looks as though we might have made a mistake about young Ernest.
01:01:50We certainly did.
01:01:51This puts a rather different complexion on matters.
01:01:54I suggest we all remain here for the rest of the night.
01:01:57Oh, keep an eye on each other, eh?
01:01:59I'm going to bed, Mr. Sloan.
01:02:01I wouldn't, Aunt Emily.
01:02:03There's a killer on the loose.
01:02:05Killer?
01:02:07Silly boy.
01:02:08You've been reading far too many novels.
01:02:11Aunt Emily!
01:02:12For once in your life, face reality.
01:02:14Reality, dear?
01:02:15Don't you realize what's happening while you're daydreaming?
01:02:18Janet!
01:02:19I may have to speak to your father.
01:02:20Father is dead.
01:02:21Malcolm, dead!
01:02:23Do you understand?
01:02:25Janet!
01:02:27They've been murdered.
01:02:28Murdered by one of us.
01:02:29And we are doing nothing.
01:02:30Janet, you're making an exhibition of yourself.
01:02:32Am I?
01:02:33You're taking it very calmly.
01:02:35You never liked father, did you?
01:02:37Nor Malcolm.
01:02:38Nor his music.
01:02:40Hardly a sound basis for murder.
01:02:42Now, hang on.
01:02:43Hang on.
01:02:44There's no use squabbling amongst ourselves, is there?
01:02:46Now, look.
01:02:47The police will be here tomorrow morning.
01:02:48If we stick together, we're safe.
01:02:49We'll never get away from here.
01:02:51Now, look.
01:02:52Together, we're as safe as houses.
01:02:53Isn't that so, Sid?
01:02:55Even the floor might open up.
01:02:57Any one of us could be next.
01:03:00Janet!
01:03:09Janet!
01:03:10Too late.
01:03:14Curare.
01:03:16The pygmy poison.
01:03:19She turned towards the door.
01:03:21She touched her neck.
01:03:22Quite right, so she did.
01:03:25Fisk.
01:03:26Fisk.
01:03:44Fisk.
01:03:45Have you left the kitchen in the last five minutes?
01:03:48He's lying.
01:03:49It must be him.
01:03:50I think not.
01:03:51Fisk hasn't left that chair for a good five minutes.
01:03:54How do you know?
01:03:55His cigarette.
01:03:57He could hardly have moved without disturbing that ash.
01:04:00That's a very convincing alibi.
01:04:02I remember a similar circumstance.
01:04:03Now, it was the case of ash on my petticoat.
01:04:06Belt up.
01:04:07Come on.
01:04:08Here.
01:04:09Come on.
01:04:10Here.
01:04:22Try to bump off the old family.
01:04:24Try him?
01:04:25Come on.
01:04:26Not making a bad job of it.
01:04:27Well, don't worry, mate.
01:04:29You've got a bad job of it.
01:04:30I've got a bad job.
01:04:31Come on.
01:04:32I've got a bad job.
01:04:33I'm going to...
01:04:34I'm going to...
01:04:35I'm going to...
01:04:36I'm going to...
01:04:37I'm going to...
01:04:38Look at this...
01:04:39I'm going to...
01:04:40I've had such a nice chat.
01:04:42Who with?
01:04:44Gabriel.
01:04:46Aunt Emily, Uncle Gabriel's dead.
01:04:50Nonsense. We've just been talking.
01:04:55Could it be Gabriel?
01:04:57Miss Dixon, who signed Gabriel's death certificate?
01:05:00Dr. Edward.
01:05:01Yes, and he was the first to be killed.
01:05:03If Gabriel's death was faked...
01:05:07Gabriel's coffin, the family vault.
01:05:09Now, Ernest, Linda, take Aunt Emily up to her bedroom and stay with her.
01:05:13Mr. Buckler, will you come with me to the vault?
01:05:15All right, mate.
01:05:18Come on, Aunt Emily.
01:05:20Yes.
01:05:39Well, let's open up.
01:05:51There he is.
01:05:56Well, there's no one else not in about.
01:06:02Then the murderer must be one of us.
01:06:06Are you sure you really need the sleeping pills, Aunt Emily?
01:06:09Of course, after all the excitement.
01:06:12Where are they?
01:06:16I remember.
01:06:18I left them in my reticule.
01:06:21Your what?
01:06:22Reticule.
01:06:23Knitting bag.
01:06:25Downstairs in the lounge.
01:06:28Downstairs.
01:06:29Don't really like leaving you ladies alone.
01:06:33Don't worry, Ernest.
01:06:34I'll stay here with Aunt Emily.
01:06:38Oh, Aunt Emily.
01:06:39You sure you wouldn't rather have a curiously strong peppermint?
01:06:42Yes, well, I'll just go downstairs and get them.
01:06:54Don't go away.
01:06:55I'll be back.
01:06:58I hope.
01:07:12There we go again.
01:07:37Ernest.
01:07:42Ernest!
01:07:47Blimey, they've got him!
01:07:48Ernest!
01:07:52I've seen him.
01:07:53Sheen who?
01:07:55Uncle Gabriel.
01:07:58Laughing, he's blowing head off.
01:07:59Gabriel never.
01:08:00We just saw him, mate.
01:08:01And he's dead.
01:08:02Very dead.
01:08:03Well, he looked like Uncle Gabriel.
01:08:05To me.
01:08:09He's a Broughton too, you know.
01:08:11Not him.
01:08:12He's not like the others.
01:08:13Sloane.
01:08:14Where is he?
01:08:15He's gone.
01:08:17Oh, I wish he'd stop creeping about like that.
01:08:19Where's he gone?
01:08:20He's trying to get to the village.
01:08:22For the police.
01:08:24Your sandwiches.
01:08:26What do you think?
01:08:28I don't know.
01:08:29It was Sloane who was against anyone leaving.
01:08:32Well, yes, but if he's gone across those moors on his own, he's a very brave boy.
01:08:35If he has gone...
01:08:40You all right, matey?
01:08:42Oh, my head.
01:08:46You go up the stairs.
01:08:47I'll go this way.
01:08:48Right.
01:08:49And you two go up to Aunt Emily's room.
01:08:51Aunt Emily, she's all alone.
01:08:56Where are you all going?
01:08:58What about me?
01:08:59What about me?
01:09:08Oh, not again.
01:09:29You know, old boy, I think there's something frightfully odd going on around here.
01:09:59Oh, if we don't do something soon, the old Broughton family will be knocked off.
01:10:09And then the outsiders will start to go.
01:10:12You're drinking yourself to death, mate.
01:10:13What a lovely way to go.
01:10:17Sid!
01:10:19He's gone.
01:10:20Who's gone?
01:10:21Uncle Gabriel's gone.
01:10:22His coffin's empty.
01:10:23What are you talking about?
01:10:24Uncle Gabriel's body's gone, I tell you.
01:10:26It's Burke and Hare all over again.
01:10:28The only Burke round here, mate, is you.
01:10:30Please, Sid.
01:10:31This is no time for levity.
01:10:33Well, we'd better go and see.
01:10:41Thank you, Sid.
01:10:52See?
01:10:53What did I tell you?
01:10:54Look.
01:10:55Well, Ernest, I...
01:10:57It...
01:10:58It was empty when I...
01:10:59All right.
01:11:00All right.
01:11:01You know something?
01:11:02He may not be bonkers.
01:11:08Malcolm!
01:11:11Then Gabriel is alive.
01:11:13And he's a homicidal maniac.
01:11:14I sent Ernest for them and I haven't seen him since.
01:11:18Oh!
01:11:19I do hope he hasn't taken them.
01:11:25What's happened?
01:11:30What's happened?
01:11:32Well, the outsiders come in at a hundred to one.
01:11:35What?
01:11:36Uncle Gabriel.
01:11:37What do you mean?
01:11:38Uncle Gabriel.
01:11:39What do you mean?
01:11:40Uncle Gabriel.
01:11:41He's not dead.
01:11:42He's alive.
01:11:43I'm killing.
01:11:46He's knocking off the family.
01:11:47One by one.
01:11:49He could be anywhere.
01:11:51Anywhere.
01:11:53What can we do?
01:11:57Guy!
01:11:58Hmm?
01:11:59Guy's gun!
01:12:00Come on.
01:12:03Guy, have you got your...
01:12:07Well, Emily, where's Guy?
01:12:08Well, he was over...
01:12:09Oh, he must have gone to bed.
01:12:11He couldn't have.
01:12:12We were just outside.
01:12:16If Gabriel's got Guy,
01:12:18he's got Guy's gun.
01:12:27What are we going to do?
01:12:28I know what I'm going to do.
01:12:29I'm going to stay put until the police arrive.
01:12:31What do you know what I'm doing, mate?
01:12:32I'm going to keep on looking about.
01:12:33It's safer.
01:12:34What do you mean, safer?
01:12:35Well, you don't want to be a sitting duck, do you?
01:12:36Get on the move, boy.
01:12:37Yeah.
01:12:38I'll see what you mean.
01:12:39Quick, Linda.
01:12:41Wait a minute.
01:12:42It didn't help Janet at all.
01:12:43She was hopping about all over the place.
01:12:44Yeah, but she was standing still when she copped it.
01:12:46Yeah.
01:12:56What are you doing with those chairs?
01:12:57I'm making a barricade against any more poison darts.
01:12:59Come on, Linda.
01:13:00You'll be safer in there with me.
01:13:01You've gone raving bonkers.
01:13:02There's probably blow holes all over the ceiling.
01:13:04He's very likely up there now looking right down at you.
01:13:06Come on.
01:13:07Come on.
01:13:08Aunt Emily, come on.
01:13:09Come walk in with us.
01:13:10On a night like this?
01:13:11Oh, silly boy.
01:13:12Don't worry about her.
01:13:13She's got a charmed life.
01:13:14Hello, Fisky mate.
01:13:15You'd better come and join us.
01:13:16It's safer.
01:13:17It's too late, sir.
01:13:18Whatever will be, will be.
01:13:19It's a fine time to go spout in Shakespeare.
01:13:20There's danger here.
01:13:21That's the understatement of the evening.
01:13:22Do you want some coffee?
01:13:23Yeah.
01:13:24Well, I can hear bells.
01:13:25We'll go and answer it then.
01:13:26Oh, me?
01:13:27All right then.
01:13:28Come on.

01:13:32Inspector Arkwright.

01:13:36Down here.
01:13:37Good evening, madam.
01:13:39I didn't get much from Mr. Sloan.
01:13:40He seemed to think it was imperative that I get here as soon as possible.
01:13:41He wasn't kidding me.
01:13:42I don't approve of the police.
01:13:43They were very rude to my sister, when she recently chained herself to the railings
01:13:46of St. James's Palace.

01:21:56Late master? Uncle Gabriel?
01:21:58He's dead. The chandelier, Jochran.
01:22:00What happened to him?
01:22:02Well, he aimed the gunner.
01:22:10You can never tell what Gabriel will get up to next.
01:22:14Always the life and soul of the party.
01:22:18Oh, excuse me. Without me.
01:22:20Oh, thanks, Ernie.
01:22:21Well, I've fixed everything.
01:22:22Sid and Aunt Emily are travelling together,
01:22:24and you and me are travelling together.
01:22:26Oh, that would be nice, Ernie, but someone's collecting me.
01:22:29Oh, you're dead?
01:22:31No.
01:22:32Relative?
01:22:33No. Boyfriend.
01:22:35Oh.

01:23:16What are you worrying about?
