00:00:00The End
00:00:30The End
00:01:00The End
00:01:29That's the answer, all right.
00:01:47Now there, move quiet.
00:02:17Those street runners!
00:02:32Here, here, come here.
00:02:33Yes, a very nice house, but too many stairs. What are you calling it?
00:02:50I'll park corners.
00:02:51My uncle's house is last and breezed. Larger.
00:02:54Look, look at the vine, Percy.
00:02:56I've come on fine. A new house, I believe.
00:02:59Yes, indeed. Built by the brother there.
00:03:01Oh, most fashionable architect.
00:03:02A glass of wine.
00:03:04Most kind of you to invite me.
00:03:11I gather there might be a little gambling tonight.
00:03:13Not so loud, Captain. I'm only waiting for Sir Arthur Gannett.
00:03:20I am Sir Arthur Gannett.
00:03:25Yes.
00:03:27Out of my way, fellow.
00:03:30It's against human nature to interfere with gambling.
00:03:35Oh, you're safer up here.
00:03:36Besides, these both street runners are a cowardly lot in the dark.
00:03:39Sir Arthur Gannett.
00:03:49Welcome to my new house, Sir Arthur.
00:03:55I should be proud to call it mine.
00:03:57Ah, Con Cannon.
00:03:58Your servant, Sir Arthur.
00:03:59But where are the cards? I thought you were anxious for your revenge.
00:04:02I am.
00:04:09Ingenious.
00:04:12The devil is convenient in a raid.
00:04:19About those IOUs I gave you last night.
00:04:21Think no more of them.
00:04:23But if I should lose again tonight?
00:04:25This house is ample security.
00:04:28But you wouldn't foreclose.
00:04:39Put that down.
00:04:54Not tonight.
00:04:55I'd kill a man for less than that.
00:04:57Come, Captain Con Cannon.
00:04:59Would you like our friends to know your real name?
00:05:02You will not mention that name.
00:05:04Carstairs, who was cashiered?
00:05:06What do you want of me?
00:05:09That's better.
00:05:14A farrow box?
00:05:15Yes.
00:05:16You will use it instead of the one at present on the gaming table.
00:05:20A trick box, eh?
00:05:21Chester must lose again tonight.
00:05:24I want this house.
00:05:25We're all ready, Sir Arthur.
00:05:27No.
00:05:28Sir Garnett, to Willigar.
00:05:31Are we all here?
00:05:33All Sir Garnett.
00:05:35I'll start with 50 guineas worth.
00:05:38I'm lucky if I start with 50 guineas worth.
00:05:39I'll take 50.
00:05:40Your servant.
00:05:41Ladies and gentlemen.
00:05:42Sir Arthur.
00:05:43Your servant.
00:05:44I'll start with the hungry.
00:05:45I'll take the bank.
00:05:46Captain Con Cannon here has kindly consented to deal for me.
00:05:48A privilege, ladies and gentlemen.
00:05:49A privilege.
00:05:50I'll take 50, please, Captain.
00:05:52A hundred for me, please.
00:05:53A hundred for Mr. Garnett.
00:05:55A hundred for Mr. Garnett.
00:05:57Twenty-five for me.
00:05:58Twenty-five.
00:05:59Fifty, please.
00:06:00Oh, fellow.
00:06:01Oh, I'm sorry, sir.
00:06:02The servants are new like the house.
00:06:03You may go, fellow.
00:06:04Very good, Your Honor.
00:06:05Hundred, please.
00:06:06Oh, thank you.
00:06:07A hundred for me.
00:06:08Twenty-five.
00:06:09Fifty, please.
00:06:10Oh, fellow.
00:06:11Oh, I'm sorry, sir.
00:06:12The servants are new like the house.
00:06:13You may go, fellow.
00:06:14Very good, Your Honor.
00:06:15Hundred, please.
00:06:16Twenty.
00:06:17A hundred, please.
00:06:18Twenty.
00:06:21A hundred, sir.
00:06:23Ten.
00:06:25Thanks a good time, gentlemen.
00:06:27Thanks a good time.
00:06:28Are we all ready?
00:06:35I think I ought to do it once more.
00:06:40What do you mean?
00:06:43Oh, what?
00:06:55Rage.
00:06:56They mustn't find the count-up.
00:06:58It is so bad, my nerves are too bad.
00:07:01Raise of this.
00:07:02Give me an answer, madame.
00:07:03Oh, yes, please.
00:07:05I'm not going to rush about.
00:07:07Dealer Hand of Witten, darn it.
00:07:13I'm going to get married.
00:07:16Let's do it again.
00:07:18This is my wife.
00:07:20I didn't even know what to do.
00:07:21He was done.
00:07:22I got married.
00:07:24I go.
00:07:25Thank you, do you want to take a hand on me?
00:07:28I'm going to get married.
00:07:30Oh, dear.
00:07:31Your mother?
00:07:32I'm going to take a hand on me.
00:07:34I'm going to take a hand on me.
00:07:35You just have to break it down.
00:07:37I'll do it.
00:07:38I'm going to take a hand.
00:07:39I'll call you, Petty.
00:07:40Well, fellow, must you keep me standing here all night?
00:07:43This is the wrong house, Mrs. Wittering.
00:07:45And how do you know I'm Mrs. Wittering?
00:07:47I saw you at the playhouse when you was Polly Beecher.
00:07:50You took your part good.
00:07:53And how do you know this is the wrong house?
00:07:55Well, it's the wrong house because, um...
00:07:58Well, because it's the wrong house.
00:08:00But this is Mr. Chester's Hyde Park corner, isn't it?
00:08:02Yes.
00:08:03Very well, then. Stand aside, fellow.
00:08:05Hurry, fellow, hurry!
00:08:08You know, I didn't order to let you in.
00:08:11I suppose I cannot very well ask if they have one of my admirers whipped.
00:08:14I'm sorry, Mr. Chester's Hyde Park corner, isn't it?
00:08:16Yes.
00:08:17Very well, then. Stand aside, fellow.
00:08:20Hurry, fellow, hurry.
00:08:23You know, I didn't order to let you in.
00:08:27I suppose I cannot very well ask if they have one of my admirers whipped.
00:08:32No, madam.
00:08:33Very well, then. Announce me. Announce me.
00:08:35Mistress Sophia Wittering.
00:08:36Ha ha ha!
00:08:37It's only never Wittering.
00:08:38I wish I was as young as I used to be.
00:08:39But I am excellent.
00:08:40Greetings.
00:08:41Handsomest men in all London.
00:08:42And the ladies?
00:08:43Loveliest in Europe.
00:08:44Now who says I am.
00:08:45I am.
00:08:46I am.
00:08:47I am.
00:08:48I am.
00:08:49I am.
00:08:50I am.
00:08:51I am.
00:08:52I am.

00:08:58I am.
00:08:59I am.
00:09:00Are you?
00:09:01Now who says I don't know my manners?
00:09:03Oh, dear boys.
00:09:06You are just in time.
00:09:07What a relief.
00:09:08Arthur, Arthur.
00:09:10Whittering your performance of Parliament gave me very great pressure.
00:09:15One of your footmen also complimented me.
00:09:17So much strangely, I'll admit.
00:09:19I trust the fellow wasn't impertinent.
00:09:21Of course the fellow wasn't in person.
00:09:28Oh, no.
00:09:31May I present Captain Concanon?
00:09:33Oh.
00:09:35One of the Devonshire Concanon.
00:09:37From Ireland, Mistress Wittering.
00:09:39Oh.
00:09:40Evening, dear.
00:09:41Ravishings ever.
00:09:43What a lovely house.
00:09:45Pamela, darling, how sweet you look.
00:09:49Well, why don't we begin?
00:09:51Please.
00:09:52Come.
00:09:54What a pretty couple, Mr. Gensler.
00:09:56My own tune.
00:10:00My heart seems to sing when spring is near.
00:10:05For soon I shall know my love is here.
00:10:10Winter is over and roses will bloom again.
00:10:16When my loved one will appear.
00:10:22Winter.
00:10:23Oh, no, no, no.
00:10:24You all know that one.
00:10:26I've got one you've never heard before.
00:10:28Oh.
00:10:29Would you mind?
00:10:31Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:10:43He wasn't too young.
00:10:44He wasn't too old.
00:10:46He wasn't too shy and he wasn't too bold.
00:10:49I know just what you're thinking but the love of it is that I know you don't know the heart of it.
00:10:55There was a moon.
00:10:56Oh, what a moon.
00:10:57I had to stop and think twice.
00:10:58There were the stars, millions of stars.
00:11:00Where could I go for advice?
00:11:02Now, we're married but you still don't know the heart of it.
00:11:03We've got a baby carriage but the love of it.
00:11:04The baby carriage doesn't know the heart of it.
00:11:05The baby carriage doesn't know the heart of it.
00:11:06I know just what you're thinking but the love of it is that I know you don't know the heart of it.
00:11:09There was a moon.
00:11:11Oh, what a moon.
00:11:12I had to stop and think twice.
00:11:15There were the stars, millions of stars.
00:11:19Where could I go for advice?
00:11:22Where could I go for advice?
00:11:23Now, we're married but you still don't know the heart of it.
00:11:26We've got a baby carriage but the love of it.
00:11:29The baby carriage doesn't know the heart of it.
00:11:32You see, we're blessed with twins.
00:11:52There was a moon.
00:12:02Oh, what a moon.
00:12:05I had to stop and think twice.
00:12:09There were the stars, millions of stars.
00:12:12Where could I go for advice?
00:12:16He held me so tight, he wouldn't let go.
00:12:19I had to say yes cause he wouldn't let go.
00:12:22I know I've only told you but the heart of it.
00:12:25I'm sure you want to hear the other heart of it.
00:12:28I'd like to tell you more but here's the love of it.
00:12:32La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
00:12:36Bravo!
00:12:37You don't should find it.
00:12:39What's great.
00:12:41Mr. Chester, my purse please.
00:12:42That's the voice of a laugh.
00:12:43How do you do it?
00:12:44Here it is.
00:12:45You're too kind.
00:12:47I'll have a hundred.
00:12:48If everyone is ready.
00:12:49Oh, I hope I haven't delayed you.
00:12:51See you, Concanon.
00:12:52And now, I think I'd like a sip of wine.
00:12:56Quite.
00:12:57Hurry, stupid.
00:12:59Who, me?
00:13:00Yes, a glass of wine.
00:13:01I wouldn't waste time like this.
00:13:03Concanon.
00:13:04Take high, take often, ladies and gentlemen.
00:13:06The night is young.
00:13:07Enough.
00:13:10Seek me.
00:13:11What time of the night is it?
00:13:12It's tomorrow morning.
00:13:13The captain must have got his evidence by now.
00:13:14What's happened?
00:13:15I don't know.
00:13:16Two back wins.
00:13:17Ah.
00:13:18I'd be frightened of your luck, Sir Arthur.
00:13:19I'd be frightened of your luck, Sir Arthur.
00:13:20I don't know.
00:13:21I can't break it.
00:13:22You've cleaned me out, Dennis.
00:13:23You've still got this house?
00:13:24Oh, Mr Cheson, you mustn't.
00:13:31Why not?
00:13:32After all, what is a house?
00:13:35I'd not.
00:13:36I don't.
00:13:37I don't know.
00:13:39I do not know, sir.
00:13:40Say it.
00:13:41It's my cell phone.
00:13:42I don't know.
00:13:43You don't know what you're looking for.
00:13:44I don't know.
00:13:45It's not my fault.
00:13:46I do not know if I am.
00:13:47I do not know what I am.
00:13:48I do not know.
00:13:49It's my fault.
00:13:50You do not know what he is.
00:13:51I do not know.
00:13:52After all, what is a house?
00:13:54Oh, no!
00:13:56These cards have been all against me.
00:13:58A new pack, Concan.
00:14:07Carter.
00:14:12I'll play.
00:14:14You are a gentleman after my own heart, Mr. Jester.
00:14:17Wine.
00:14:19Hey, you fellow, wine!
00:14:22Get Zooks this morning.
00:14:24Wine scum!
00:14:25What?
00:14:26Very good, Your Honor.
00:14:28Scum, you're calling scum.
00:14:41Last needle, steak high.
00:14:48The house.
00:14:52Two.
00:14:53The bank wins.
00:14:54Two.
00:14:55The bank wins.
00:14:56Two.
00:14:57Two.
00:14:58The bank wins.
00:14:59Two.
00:15:00Two.
00:15:01The bank wins.
00:15:02Two.
00:15:03Two.
00:15:04The bank wins.
00:15:05two.
00:15:10Two.
00:15:12Two.
00:15:13Two.
00:15:14The bank wins.
00:15:15Two. The bank wins.
00:15:45Ah, I buy one again. That was my state. What? I said, I said. It was! I want my money. Don't you take that tone with me?
00:16:14We leave it to dear Colonel Concanon.
00:16:16The stake was Lady Englanders.
00:16:18That's right.
00:16:19Final scum!
00:16:20What, more scum?
00:16:21Please, Sir Arthur.
00:16:22You stole it.
00:16:23Who, me?
00:16:24You're mistaken, Gareth, what?
00:16:26Think again.
00:16:27Oh, no, it wasn't.
00:16:28I saw her do it myself.
00:16:29She was sitting here.
00:16:30Then she needs forward to fix up her purse.
00:16:32Just so I might pick up this box and...
00:16:36Hello?
00:16:42A trick box.
00:16:45So that's how it was.
00:16:46One moment, Chester.
00:16:47You cheated.
00:16:48If there was anything wrong with that box, I swear I didn't know it.
00:16:50This man Concanon...
00:16:51You invited him.
00:16:52I tell you I didn't know it.
00:16:53Liar!
00:16:54No man shall call me that.
00:16:55Well, I have.
00:16:56And you be sorry for it.
00:16:58Defend yourself.
00:16:59We can't, Chester.
00:17:00No!
00:17:01No!
00:17:02No, don't listen to me.
00:17:03No, don't listen to me.
00:17:04No, don't listen to me.
00:17:05No, don't listen to me.
00:17:06Come on.
00:17:07Now you stop here.
00:17:14I've got a big jump.
00:17:17I don't want the Bluegrass.
00:17:19Yes, it's my turn.
00:17:21I'm here.
00:17:22I'm here.
00:17:23Okay.

00:20:10Let's go.
00:20:11I shall have to trouble you too, mistress Woodrin.
00:20:13Come on there, step lively.
00:20:15Bustle along.
00:20:16Oh, this is welcome.
00:20:17Never mind.
00:20:18This is the third time I've been arrested this season.
00:20:21Keep your dirty hands off me, sir.
00:20:23Come along.
00:20:24Come on, mistress Woodrin.
00:20:26I'm sorry, but it's my duty.
00:20:31Your curtil, mistress.
00:20:33Charming perfume.
00:20:34Lilacs.
00:20:35Ah.
00:20:36Springtime in Sussex.
00:20:38Your servant, ma'am.
00:20:52Come.
00:20:54I'll come back to you two later.
00:20:56Keep your outside.
00:21:08Chester.
00:21:09Chester.
00:21:10Chester.
00:21:11Yes?
00:21:12By heaven, Mr. Chester.
00:21:13You're a gallant gentleman.
00:21:14No.
00:21:15No.
00:21:16I knew they'd let him on.
00:21:18But I'm not going to.
00:21:19What?
00:21:20What?
00:21:21No.
00:21:22I know they'd let him on.
00:21:24But I'm not going to.
00:21:25What?
00:21:26No.
00:21:27No.
00:21:29No.
00:21:30No.
00:21:31No.
00:21:32No.
00:21:33No.
00:21:34No.
00:21:35No.
00:21:36No.
00:21:37No.
00:21:38No.
00:21:39No.
00:21:40No.
00:21:41No.
00:21:42No.
00:21:43No.
00:21:44No.
00:21:45No.
00:21:47No.
00:21:48I'm finished, sir, Arthur.
00:21:52But this isn't the end.
00:21:56Sooner or later, this house will bring ruin and death to you and yours.
00:22:02It has to be a month.
00:22:10I curse this house!
00:22:18It's absurd. It's absurd, I tell you.
00:22:42Superstitious nonsense.
00:22:45I wouldn't want a curse on my house.
00:23:15A real gambler knows when to stop. Chester, doesn't he?
00:23:29Isn't an ancestor of his build this house?
00:23:31Yes.
00:23:33I've got my car here, if you'd like a lift.
00:23:36Thanks, I'll get my hand. Good night, Chester.
00:23:38Good night.
00:23:40Better luck to extend, Mr. Chester.
00:23:42Good night.
00:23:43Good night.
00:23:47I'll never have any luck in this house.
00:23:59Oh, Gannett asked me to find you.
00:24:02What's the swine want?
00:24:04To know if you'd like your revenge.
00:24:06But everybody's clearing off now.
00:24:09Then I'd like to play. That'll make three of us.
00:24:12You all right?
00:24:15But that's Barbara.
00:24:18I'll take her home first, if you'd like.
00:24:21Oh, well, in that case, I...
00:24:24Oh, Barbara.
00:24:26Yes?
00:24:28Would you mind if Howard takes you home?
00:24:30Why?
00:24:31I'll go home alone, if you're not coming.
00:24:39You said you'd finished.
00:24:41Well, I can't afford to stop.
00:24:43Sir Arthur's giving him a chance to get some of his money back.
00:24:45Pretty sporting, don't you think?
00:24:47You'll find us in here.
00:24:59Cut your losses, Teddy, and let's get out of here.
00:25:03I don't trust Gannett.
00:25:04Neither do I.
00:25:06It's my only chance of getting my money back, and I'm going to take it.
00:25:08What good am I to you?
00:25:13A pity.
00:25:15Would you marry a bankrupt?
00:25:17Yes.
00:25:21But not a gambler.
00:25:22Barbara.
00:25:36Barbara.
00:25:38Barbara.
00:25:52Barbara.
00:26:00Barbara.
00:26:02Barbara.
00:26:12Barbara.
00:26:14Barbara.
00:26:22Here we go.
00:26:45Here we go.
00:26:49A redot?
00:26:50Hmm.
00:26:51Well, we've got some of that in our family, haven't we, sis?
00:26:55There was John Cheadle, Bow Street runner, 1792.
00:27:01Then there was George Cheadle, Peeler, 1829.
00:27:07And then there was our dear old dad, hmm.
00:27:11Sergeant Albert Cheadle, 1906.
00:27:15One of the best, wasn't he, sis?
00:27:18And then there's your humble.
00:27:23Hmm.
00:27:25A nasty business, this Gennett murder.
00:27:28There's more in this case than meets the eye, you know.
00:27:32Of course they detained a man.
00:27:35They always do, these lads of police.
00:27:39But is he the right man, sis? That's what I want to know.
00:27:44Hmm.
00:27:46Sir Richard Castier, the evident KC, spent two hours with Chester in his cell.
00:27:52It is going to be a big case.
00:27:55Now, they won't look facts in the face, sis their trouble.
00:27:59I mean, they always talk about ancestral feuds and family quarrels.
00:28:03Oh.
00:28:04I mean, why should this Chester fellow let off a gun at the other bloke?
00:28:07Simply because he's a gannett.
00:28:08Two echo, three.
00:28:09Three.
00:28:10That ain't detecting.
00:28:11That's guesswork in theory.
00:28:13That's no way for a self-respecting policeman to get to work.
00:28:16Hmm.
00:28:17I'll bet you the commissioner knows, or why should he send for me?
00:28:19Because you've been down for a transfer for two years.
00:28:22And you wouldn't have been that if I hadn't spilt the letter for you.
00:28:25Hurry up and pack your bag.
00:28:26You'll be sure trying.
00:28:27All right, all right.
00:28:28Plenty of time.
00:28:29I don't care what you say.
00:28:30They got the wrong man.
00:28:31That's what they got.
00:28:32What I want to know is, who done it?
00:28:33Oh, they weren't refused to get.
00:28:34My name's Siegel.
00:28:35I've been instructed by the commissioner of Metropolitan Police to report to Inspector Ben Hurst, C Division.
00:28:40I shall be much obliged if you don't tell him I'm here.
00:28:43I'm here.
00:28:44I'm here.
00:28:45I'm here.
00:28:46I'm here.
00:28:47I'm here.
00:28:48I'm here.
00:28:49I'm here.
00:28:50I'm here.
00:28:51I'm here.
00:28:52I'm here.
00:28:53I'm here.
00:28:54I'm here.
00:28:55I'm here.
00:28:56I'm here.
00:28:57I'm here.
00:28:58I'm here.
00:28:59I'm here.
00:29:00I'm here.
00:29:01I'm here.
00:29:02I'm here.
00:29:03I'm here.
00:29:04I'm here.
00:29:05My name's Siegel.
00:29:06Instructed by commissioner of Metropolitan Police to report to Inspector Ben Hurst, C Division.
00:29:21I've been much obliged.
00:29:24Inspector Ben Hurst, sir.
00:29:26My name's Siegel.
00:29:27Instructed by commissioner of Metropolitan Police to report to Inspector Ben Hurst, C Division.
00:29:30My name's Siegel.
00:29:31Instructed by commissioner of Metropolitan Police.
00:29:32Fort Sergeant Franklin.
00:29:33I'm going down to the yard on the Gannett case.
00:29:35Very good, sir.
00:29:36Oh, I'll come with you, sir.
00:29:43My name's Siegel.
00:29:44Instructed by commissioner...
00:29:45Search for the first time.
00:29:46Stores in the basement.
00:29:47Get your uniform and report to Sergeant Dennis.
00:29:49Uniform?
00:29:50But detectives wear plain clothes.
00:29:52Patrol duty at six o'clock.
00:29:53Hold on.
00:29:54Hold on.
00:29:55Hold on.
00:29:56Hold on.
00:29:58Hold on.
00:29:59Hold on.
00:30:00Hold on.
00:30:34I didn't do it, I'll tell you.
00:31:00I'll tell you, I didn't.
00:31:01Now, Chester, I suggest that the story you've just told us is from beginning to end completely untrue.
00:31:07No, it's true, I swear it's true.
00:31:09I suggest you kill Sir Arthur Gannett.
00:31:12It isn't true.
00:31:14Why should I have done such a thing?
00:31:15Isn't it a fact that for many years there's been ill-feeling between your family and the Gannetts?
00:31:19I've checked, sir.
00:31:19A legendary appeal between these two families can have no possible bearing on the case.
00:31:23With all due deference to my learned friend, I submit that if hatred of Sir Arthur Gannetts had been instilled into this young man's mind from the very earliest...
00:31:30No, no, the witness will answer the question.
00:31:35Well, Chester?
00:31:36Well, I knew my family didn't like the Gannetts, but I never knew why and I never paid any attention to it.
00:31:44Quite right.
00:31:45Exhibit A.
00:31:51My case.
00:31:54Now, Chester, you've admitted that on the night of the tragedy you lost Henley at Baccarat to Sir Arthur Gannett.
00:31:58I've already told you what happened.
00:32:01Gannett offered me my revenge.
00:32:02First I agreed and then I told him that I didn't want to play any more.
00:32:06Then I left the house.
00:32:08George Hard can prove the truth of what I tell you.
00:32:11Gannett was alive when I went.
00:32:13And where is George Howard now?
00:32:17I don't know.
00:32:18I put it to you that you waited until George Howard had gone in order to rob Sir Arthur Gannett of the IOUs that you'd given him.
00:32:24No, it isn't you.
00:32:25And that when he resisted, you killed him.
00:32:28No, no, I didn't.
00:32:29No, I told you I didn't. You must believe me.
00:32:31No, I didn't kill him.
00:32:39No, sir.
00:32:43No, sir.
00:32:48Sorry, miss.
00:32:50Everything's going to be all right.
00:32:52Uh, I asked for an adjournment to enable me to produce my most important witness.
00:33:08Witness George Howard, referred to by the prisoner.
00:33:11Yes, he left London the morning after the tragedy and we're still trying to trace him.
00:33:15Very well.
00:33:17The prisoner is remanded until two o'clock tomorrow.
00:33:20Then I hope that you'll be able to produce your witness, Sir Richard.
00:33:23Fair.
00:33:24Thank you, Richard.
00:33:28To produce your witness.
00:33:33I'm following this case as well as my own. You understand?
00:33:40It's going to be all right, isn't it?
00:33:42It's got to be all right.
00:33:43Yes, but if we don't find George Howard...
00:33:46We'll find him or I'll find a way to clear Chester.
00:33:49Don't worry.
00:33:52What is the next case?
00:33:53Sophie Wittering.
00:33:54Who's conducting the prosecution?
00:33:56The police, Your Witter.
00:33:57Is the officer in charge present?
00:33:58Call P.C. Cheetle, 60 C Division.
00:34:01P.C. Cheetle, 60 C Division.
00:34:04Three Division.
00:34:20Where is Sophie Wittering?
00:34:22Sophie Wittering.
00:34:23Coming on here.
00:34:24Come on here.
00:34:25Who are you pushing?
00:34:26Lay out to Mr. Worship.
00:34:27Who?
00:34:28Worship.
00:34:29Oh.
00:34:30Good afternoon.
00:34:31Good afternoon.
00:34:32Good afternoon.
00:34:33You, Sophie Wittering, a child with stealing four dozen handkerchiefs, one alarm clock, two silver-mounted hairbrushes, one lady's knickers, and one rubber belt and two hot water bottles. The property of Harrity Stores. Do you plead guilty or not guilty?
00:34:42Oh, me? Guilty? Of course not. It's all a ridiculous mistake.
00:35:00Have you a solicitor representing you?
00:35:02No, I don't know any.
00:35:03And do you wish for legal aid?
00:35:04Well, I think I ought to have all the help I can, don't you?
00:35:05Well, in that case, you have the right to choose any of the legal gentlemen in court to defend you.
00:35:06Well, anyone I like.
00:35:07Right.
00:35:08Oh, thank you, Worship.
00:35:09Well, I think I'll take that long one.
00:35:10Sir Richard?
00:35:11Yes.
00:35:12The prisoner chooses you to defend her.
00:35:13What?
00:35:14Right, where is it?
00:35:15What is it?
00:35:16What is the charge against the young lady?
00:35:17The shoplifting.
00:35:18If you care to consult with your client.
00:35:19No, I don't think that'll be necessary.
00:35:20What is your name?
00:35:21What is your name?
00:35:22Well, you have the right to choose any of the legal gentlemen in court to defend you.
00:35:24Well, anyone I like.
00:35:25Right.
00:35:26Oh, thank you, Worship.
00:35:27Well, I think I'll take that long one.
00:35:28Sir Richard?
00:35:29Yes.
00:35:30The prisoner chooses you to defend her.
00:35:31What?
00:35:32Right, where is it?
00:35:33What is the charge against the young lady?
00:35:36Shoplifting.
00:35:37If you care to consult with your client.
00:35:40No, I don't think that'll be necessary.
00:35:43What is your name?
00:35:45Sophie Wittering.
00:35:46What's yours?
00:35:48Richard Carstairs.
00:35:49I had to do.
00:35:51How'd you do?
00:35:53You didn't do this, did you?
00:35:56I did not at all.
00:35:57That police police, not a general.
00:35:58Quite, quite, quite.
00:35:59We're quite ready to proceed, you're ready.
00:36:02Aye, sir.
00:36:03Almighty God, the officer is going to get the cordon with the butt screws.
00:36:06What is your name?
00:36:08Samuel Cheetle.
00:36:09PC-60C Division.
00:36:11I've been in the force now for 20 years.
00:36:12My father before me and his father before him.
00:36:14The Sheetles have always been on the side of Law and Auden.
00:36:16I may say that I'm very good.
00:36:18You are the prosecuting witness in this case?
00:36:20I am your worship.
00:36:22Well, tell me about it, please.
00:36:24Very good, your worship.
00:36:27At 6.48 PM, on the evening of the 30th of November,
00:36:31I was proceeding in an easterly direction along Oxford Street,
00:36:35hoping to pick up some hooks.
00:36:37Hooks, officer?
00:36:39Please safely, sir Richard.
00:36:41Hooks or dips.
00:36:42I'd rather gather that the constable is referring to small thieves or pickpockets, sir Richard.
00:36:47Or shoplift, as your worship.
00:36:49Oh, I see.
00:36:50An omnibus term.
00:36:51Well, you don't get many of them in buses nowadays, sir Richard.
00:36:54Cinemas is the place.
00:36:56As a matter of fact, I saw the news the other day.
00:36:59I was told...
00:37:00Quite.
00:37:02Now continue, please.
00:37:03Continue, please.
00:37:04Continue, please.
00:37:05Very good, your worship.
00:37:07Passing the main entrance of Harwich's stalls,
00:37:10my attention was attracted by this young woman.
00:37:12What was she doing?
00:37:13Yes, go on.
00:37:14You tell him, you dirty old man.
00:37:15My leg!
00:37:17Well, as a matter of fact, she...
00:37:19Yes, he was looking at my legs.
00:37:21That's what he was doing.
00:37:22My leg!
00:37:24I see.
00:37:26Go on with your evidence, please.
00:37:29Very good, your worship.
00:37:38Look.
00:37:39He's lost his place.
00:37:40Shh.
00:37:41He's lost his place.
00:37:43I was passing the main entrance of Harwich's stalls.
00:37:47We've had all this before.
00:37:49Well, I'm coming to the new part now, your worship.
00:37:52My suspicions was aroused,
00:37:55because she was looking in a...
00:37:57Ah, in a shop window.
00:37:59Yes, I was looking in a fur coat.
00:38:00There's a musk wash.
00:38:01She was looking in the glass,
00:38:02to see if anybody was watching her.
00:38:04Oh.
00:38:06Whereupon, observing that I was observing her,
00:38:10she exhibited sayings of agitation.
00:38:12Suddenly, my attention was arrested by a bell ringing.
00:38:16What kind of bell?
00:38:18Very penetrating, your worship.
00:38:20Like this.
00:38:22Very good.
00:38:23Go on, constable.
00:38:24Very good, your worship.
00:38:25I traced the noise to the defendant.
00:38:28And I concluded that it was attached to Harfarson.
00:38:31Go on constable, very good Your Worship, I traced the noise to the defendant and I concluded
00:38:45that it was attached to her person. I was about to ask for an explanation when she turned
00:38:50and ran in a northerly direction at an estimated speed of about eight miles per hour. I followed
00:39:00at a slightly higher speed and succeeded in apprehending her. After cautioning her, I proceeded
00:39:06to interrogate her in the southerly direction. As I was saying, after cautioning her, I proceeded
00:39:17to interrogate her and when searched at the station, the articles exhibited were found
00:39:22on her person. If I might be permitted... Oh, certainly, Sir Richard. Thank you. Don't
00:39:28mention it. Now, Sir, you have no feelings against the defendant, have you? Oh, isn't he?
00:39:35Well, I like a hook to be polite when they're copped. Live and let live is my motto. Then
00:39:39you have some feeling against her. What she said at the station was highly personal. And
00:39:43that might make you anxious to get a conviction against her. If I am struck down this very
00:39:47second, I'll get to myself. Quite, quite, quite. I suggest to you, Arthur, Sir, that the evidence
00:39:51you've just given is a tissue of falsehood. The suggestion is denied. I submit, Sir, that
00:39:58there is no case against the defendant. Right? I think I would like to hear her side of this
00:40:06rather curious story. Miss Wittering, will you go into the box, please? I? This way, please.
00:40:13Oh. Take this book in your right hand. No, no, your right hand, please. The start in your
00:40:35left and say those lines. I swear...
00:40:40I swear that the evidence I shall give to this court shall be the truth, the whole truth,
00:40:50and nothing but the truth!
00:41:00Now, Sophie, you don't mind my calling your safety, do you?
00:41:04Oh, no, I like it.
00:41:06Now tell me, Sophie, you didn't steal those articles, did you?
00:41:09Oh, how could you think that?
00:41:11Then, uh, why were you carrying them about with you?
00:41:15Yes, why was I carrying them about with me?
00:41:19You really must speak up. I cannot hear you.
00:41:22Oh, why was I carrying them about with me?
00:41:25Oh, well, I was taking them to some friends.
00:41:28Some very poor friends.
00:41:30What was their names?
00:41:31No, no, sit down.
00:41:32What was their name or names?
00:41:33I can't tell you that.
00:41:34No, I didn't think you could.
00:41:36Well, they wouldn't want people to know, you know.
00:41:38Well, it's no crime to be poor, but it's not very nice to go to jail.
00:41:41And I'm not going to jail.
00:41:42Oh, that's what you did.
00:41:43Well, I got everything.
00:41:44You better get a message.
00:41:45You really must speak up.
00:41:47I cannot hear you.
00:41:48What?
00:41:49I think I'll leave this witness to my learned friend.
00:41:53Oh, well.
00:41:54Thank you, sir.
00:42:00Now, you say you bought these articles at Heritage's Dolls.
00:42:05I didn't?
00:42:06It's true.
00:42:07Now, I put it to you.
00:42:08When you buy articles, though, they give you a credit slip.
00:42:12A kind of bill, sir.
00:42:14With each purchase, do they not?
00:42:16Well, I...
00:42:17I...
00:42:18Come, come, come, come.
00:42:19Don't investigate.
00:42:20If you're a customer there, you know that's true.
00:42:23Well, I...
00:42:24Do you not or don't you?
00:42:25I object.
00:42:26Do you not or don't you is a contradiction in terms.
00:42:31My learned friend must reframe the question.
00:42:34Well, um...
00:42:35Well, I'll withdraw the question.
00:42:38Now, I want you to think, and to think very carefully.
00:42:43When you bought these articles, did they or did they not give you credit slips with them?
00:42:48Yes.
00:42:49And I suppose you threw them away?
00:42:51Well, I...
00:42:52Yes, I thought you did.
00:42:53Well, I did.
00:42:54What?
00:42:55I saved them.
00:42:56You did?
00:42:57Yes.
00:42:58Well, where are they?
00:42:59Well, they're at home.
00:43:00Well, tell us what that is and we'll send for them.
00:43:01Well, I can't do that.
00:43:02Why not?
00:43:03Oh, my father saved us all the police coming to the house.
00:43:05Well, if you ask me, I don't think it'd be surprised.
00:43:07Uh, constable, that is not a proper comment.
00:43:09I apologize, Your Worship.
00:43:11Sir Richard?
00:43:12I ask your pardon.
00:43:13Granted it.
00:43:14Me too.
00:43:15Come, come, come, come.
00:43:16Where are those slips?
00:43:17Well, I've put away so many things.
00:43:19Well, they might be in my desk or in the library or...
00:43:24Or was it the building room?
00:43:25I really forgot.
00:43:26The, uh, the production of these credit slips or bills is so vital to my client's case that I was asked for an injured.
00:43:32I don't think I can refuse that, Sir Richard.
00:43:34And further that she be allowed to accompany this officer to her home in order to obtain the documents.
00:43:39That will be the order of the court.
00:43:41Thank you, sir.
00:43:45Here.
00:43:47Have I got to go with him?
00:43:48Yes.
00:43:50If I must, I must.
00:43:51Well, I don't like it any more than you do.
00:43:53Wake there.
00:43:54I've got to write up my notes.
00:44:02Sir Richard, we've traced Howard.
00:44:04He registered at the Paris Hotel 48 hours ago.
00:44:06Good work.
00:44:07He doesn't help us much.
00:44:08No, why not?
00:44:09He left the hotel immediately and never came back.
00:44:11Well, Dr. Howard's ever since I can't save Chester.
00:44:13Get the Paris police to help you.
00:44:15We'll do our best.
00:44:16If you want me this evening, I'll be at the blue train restaurant.
00:44:17Right.
00:44:20Oh, Sir Richard.
00:44:21Yes?
00:44:22I'd like a thank you.
00:44:23That's all right, Sophie.
00:44:25But you'd better find those bills, otherwise something will happen.
00:44:27Yes, something will happen.
00:44:29Oh, you did me a good turn.
00:44:31I'd like to do you one.
00:44:32Yes?
00:44:33You know that missing witness in your last case?
00:44:35Yes.
00:44:36Well, was his name George Francis Howard?
00:44:38Yes.
00:44:39Well, he's in London.
00:44:40He arrived last night.
00:44:41How'd you know?
00:44:42I found his wallet in Victoria Station.
00:44:44Where?
00:44:45Well, in his pocket.
00:44:51That's great of you, Sophie.
00:44:53That's all right.
00:44:55I won't say anything about this.
00:44:57And good luck with the constable.
00:45:00Now, come along, my girl.
00:45:01I'd like to know what my friend would say.
00:45:02If they could see me with you.
00:45:03The crime doesn't pay.
00:45:04Eh?
00:45:05Oh.
00:45:06Oh, I've dropped me things.
00:45:07Well, aren't you going to pick them up for me?
00:45:08No good, constable.
00:45:09I can't face it.
00:45:10I must have a taxi.
00:45:11Ah, and who's going to pay for it?
00:45:12Well, that needn't worry you.
00:45:13All right.
00:45:14In that case.
00:45:15Taxi.
00:45:16Here.
00:45:17Quick.
00:45:18After that young woman.
00:45:19Here.
00:45:20Here.
00:45:21Quick.
00:45:22After that young woman.
00:45:23Here.
00:45:24Here.
00:45:25Quick.
00:45:26After that young woman.
00:45:27Here.
00:45:28Here.
00:45:29Here.
00:45:30Here.
00:45:31Here.
00:45:32Here.
00:45:33Here.
00:45:34Here.
00:45:35Here.
00:45:36Quick.
00:45:37After that young woman.
00:45:38Here.
00:45:59Here.
00:46:00Here.
00:46:05Wait here.
00:46:11Right you are, officer.
00:46:14Oh, oh, this ain't a fancy dress car, my little.
00:46:21It's a plain competition.
00:46:24Out of my way.
00:46:26Hello.
00:46:28Hello.
00:46:30Hello.
00:46:31Hello.
00:46:32Hello.
00:46:33Hello.
00:46:34What's he going to do, arrest her?
00:46:37Aye, runaway manager, you think.
00:47:04What's he going to do?
00:47:10Come on, come on.
00:47:12Come on!
00:47:14Come on!
00:47:22Come on, come on!
00:47:24Come on, come on!
00:47:27Come on!
00:47:34Oh, my God!
00:47:36Oh, my God!
00:47:58Lindbrook, did you get that out of the book?
00:48:02Sweet heart
00:48:07You tell me that my kiss is sweeter than the bliss
00:48:11And a bright gift when learning to cook
00:48:15Did you get that out of the book?
00:48:18Sweet heart
00:48:23You say you love me, my spouse of me
00:48:27Well, I can't love you, too
00:48:31You must have rid it
00:48:33Cause Shakespeare said it
00:48:35But, oh, it's marvelous coming from
00:48:38You don't tell me anymore
00:48:40It's you that I adore
00:48:42I'm a fisherman caught on your hook
00:48:46You're gonna put that down in your boots
00:48:49Sweet heart
00:48:52Come on, girl
00:48:56Come on, girl
00:48:57Come on, girl
00:48:58Come on, girl
00:49:07All true
00:49:08We only want you to find that
00:49:09Thatą®¤
00:49:10You're gonna have a motel
00:49:11That's part of the book
00:49:12Pure heart
00:49:13New cellulare
00:49:14The hotel
00:49:15All right
00:49:46Come here, my young man, now then, now look here, there's no good thing if we cost you
00:50:13I'm going to teach you any different than the other criminals. Now get in there, will you? What you've been doing is in direct contravention of the regulation. Where do you live? Excuse me, Mr. Cheese. Where you going, where you going? I was just going to powder my nose. Well, you can do it in here. Not in my cab, you know. Where's your address? Where do you want to go? Oh, well, you'd better back out of here and then take the second to the right and the third to the left and then follow the tram lines till you get to the clock and then go third to the right again. You know, if I were you, I wouldn't start
00:50:43not from here at all.
00:50:49I can't think why a high-class young woman like you should resort to petty thieving. You keep your rude remarks for your low-class police station. Oh, no offense. But don't be offensive. And don't you forget you're riding about in my taxi. How do you mean? Well, you're not paying for it, are you? No, thank God.
00:51:03Where do you want to go? Turn left. Turn left. Then right. Then right. Then right on. Right on. Don't you think it'd be better if we pulled up in the first place we stopped at? Then we'd know where we are. Sauce. Now turn right. Turn right.
00:51:23What are you playing at? It's all right. I'm used to this. Well, I'm not. I suppose you know we're in the park again. What? Yeah, what is all this about? That's all right, all right, all right. You keep right on and go out of the park at Hyde Park Corner, then sharp left, then left again and go on, step on it. Step on it. Right you are.
00:51:51Step on it.
00:52:21What's on the clock?
00:52:22Fourteen and six. Well, here's a pen. You can keep the change. Right. You're the first off-sardy copper I've ever met. That's all right, my man. Right you are, officer.
00:52:34So this is where you live? Yes, nice little place, isn't it? What was that? Oh, that taxi. Backfire.
00:52:46Don't be more like a revolver to me. Yeah, where are you going? Well, don't you want to go to the murder? Now, look here. I've had just about enough of this. You've got to find them bills. Now, where's your latchkey?
00:52:56Oh, my latchkey. Yes, my latchkey. Oh, God, Lummi, I'll ring the bell. Oh, don't do that. Excuse me. Where did she come from? I don't know. Oh, funny about that key, isn't it? Come on, now, let me have a look. Oh, no, you don't. Well, hurry up, then. I've had enough of it. I've got it.
00:53:18Wrong key. What? The mate from the police station must have given her back the wrong one. Oh, did she? Well, we'll soon see about that. Come here, now.
00:53:28You stop there, I'll talk to you. I'll have a number. I'm not going to miss the bell, all right? No. Good evening, madam.
00:53:36Oh, good evening. We've been expecting you for some time, madam. What?
00:53:41Oh, have you? Yes, I am a little late. Is that stupid fellow? Won't you come inside, madam?
00:53:52Oh, thank you. You have to wait outside. Yes, constable. You wait there. I'll have the papers sent down to you.
00:54:03Yeah, but I'm not going to...
00:54:11If you would care to take off your hat, madam, you'll find everything you want in there.
00:54:26No, I don't think I'll take off anything yet, thank you.
00:54:29Very good, madam.
00:54:33He ordered them for you himself, madam.
00:54:36Oh, did he?
00:54:37I'm afraid he's even later than you are, madam.
00:54:39You mean he hasn't come yet? Not yet.
00:54:41Oh, then I don't think I'll wait.
00:54:42You are the lady who's expecting.
00:54:44Well...
00:54:48Naturally.
00:55:02I don't expect he'll keep you waiting long, madam.
00:55:04He told me you preferred a white lady.
00:55:09He thinks of everything, doesn't he?
00:55:11Oh, pretty little thing, isn't it?
00:55:13Nice.
00:55:14Oh, I'm afraid it's that policeman again.
00:55:15I'll endeavour to get rid of him.
00:55:16I'll be very glad if you would.
00:55:17Pardon me, but what was the trouble between you and the constable?
00:55:18The trouble?
00:55:19Oh, a case of mistaken identity. Took me for a shoplifter.
00:55:20I see.
00:55:21Then perhaps, madam, you would like to wait in the other room.
00:55:22If I will, if you don't mind.
00:55:23If you don't mind.
00:55:25Oh, I'm afraid it's that policeman again.
00:55:26Oh, a case of mistaken identity.
00:55:27Oh, I'm afraid it's that policeman again.
00:55:28Oh, I'm afraid it's that policeman again.
00:55:29I'll endeavour to get rid of him.
00:55:30I'll be very glad if you would.
00:55:32Pardon me, but what was the trouble between you and the constable?
00:55:36The trouble?
00:55:37Oh, a case of mistaken identity.
00:55:38Took me for a shoplifter.
00:55:39Make an identity. Took me for a shoplifter.
00:55:41I see.
00:55:45Then perhaps, madam, you would like to wait in the other room.
00:55:47If I will, if you don't mind.
00:56:09How much I'm going to keep you waiting out here?
00:56:11What exactly do you want?
00:56:12I want to see that young woman.
00:56:13She's gone.
00:56:14What?
00:56:15She asked if there was a way out by the garden.
00:56:17I like it.
00:56:21No, she doesn't live here.
00:56:22No.
00:56:23But she was bowing and smarming and calling her madam.
00:56:26My master was expecting a lady to supper and I thought naturally she was the one.
00:56:33So she's gone, eh?
00:56:34Yes.
00:56:39Why, she's not here.
00:56:43Yes.
00:56:48Yes.
00:56:51The door to the garden is in the morning room.
00:56:55Oh.
00:56:58Hmm.
00:56:59Makes you feel sort of pickish, doesn't it?
00:57:05Hmm.
00:57:07What do you call these?
00:57:08Petit de foie gras.
00:57:11Not too rotten.
00:57:14Oh, come on now.
00:57:15Where's this garden gate?
00:57:16I'll show you.
00:57:17This way.
00:57:36Except for forest.
00:57:37Yes?
00:57:59Where's this garden gate?
00:58:01joe gras
00:58:03Let's go.
00:58:33Howard. George Howard.
00:58:44Carpenter.
00:58:47Blue chain restaurant.
00:58:51Blue.
00:58:53Be the blue.
00:58:56Grover.
00:59:04Six.
00:59:05Eight.
00:59:10Oh, is that the blue train restaurant?
00:59:13Is Sir Richard Carstairs having dinner there?
00:59:16Oh, would you ask him to come to the telephone, please?
00:59:18It's very urgent.
00:59:20Yes, all right.
00:59:21All right.
00:59:42Oh, hello. Is that you, Sir Richard?
00:59:44It's me, Sophie.
00:59:46You're a member in court today.
00:59:49Oh, don't worry about that now.
00:59:51This is much more important.
00:59:53I've found the missing witness in the Gannett case.
00:59:56Yes, that's right.
00:59:58George Howard.
01:00:00Yes, he's...
01:00:01Well, he's here.
01:00:03In this house.
01:00:04You know, the house where the murder was committed.
01:00:05Yes.
01:00:07Well, he's...
01:00:23I hope I haven't kept you waiting too long.
01:00:26Oh, no. No.
01:00:27You wished a white lady, I think.
01:00:29Yes.
01:00:30Then, uh...
01:00:40Did you manage to get rid of the constable?
01:00:42With difficulty, madam.
01:00:43He was most persistent.
01:00:45Yes, policemen are like that nowadays.
01:00:47Oh!
01:00:49At least so I've heard.
01:00:54I see.
01:00:55He insisted on coming in this room.
01:00:58Yes, I know.
01:00:59It was fortunate you didn't hide behind the curtains.
01:01:01Why?
01:01:03That's the first place he'd have looked.
01:01:05Oh, yes.
01:01:06Your white lady, madam.
01:01:07Oh, thank you.
01:01:11I trust it is to your liking.
01:01:13It's very nice, thank you.
01:01:15I hope you found everything you required in the other room.
01:01:18Powder and hairpins.
01:01:21Oh, I'm afraid I'd better be going.
01:01:22I trust you will not think of it.
01:01:23Oh, but it's getting late, you know.
01:01:24It'll be very awkward for me if you don't remain.
01:01:26Oh.
01:01:27Oh, well.
01:01:29In that case.
01:01:31I'm sure you won't be kept waiting long, madam.
01:01:34Oh, but you'll never leave me here alone, are you?
01:01:35Any reason why I shouldn't?
01:01:36Oh, no, only...
01:01:38Only it's dull.
01:01:40He'll be here at any moment now, madam.
01:01:42Oh, I hope nothing happens to him.
01:01:43I hope nothing happens to him.
01:01:47I hope not, madam.
01:02:13I hope not.
01:02:16Oh, it's Richard.
01:02:17Hmm?
01:02:18Quick!
01:02:20Well, where's the missing witness?
01:02:21Shh.
01:02:29Well, where is he?
01:02:30Here.
01:02:44So this...
01:02:46This is George Hyatt?
01:02:47Yes.
01:02:48How do you know?
01:02:49He's the man I saw at Victoria Station.
01:02:50You're sure?
01:02:51Certain!
01:02:58Hyatt dead.
01:03:00Nothing can save Chester now.
01:03:02Not the police?
01:03:03No, not yet.
01:03:04What a relief.
01:03:06You'll find him like that.
01:03:07I should think I did.
01:03:09Hello.
01:03:10This is Sir Richard Carstairs.
01:03:11I want to speak to Miss Ainsworth, please.
01:03:13All right, I'll hold on.
01:03:15How did you get here?
01:03:17You wouldn't believe it if I told you.
01:03:18The butler made a mistake.
01:03:19You mean he left the window open?
01:03:20Oh, no, not like that.
01:03:21Well, not this time.
01:03:22Hello.
01:03:23I see.
01:03:24Well, when she comes in,
01:03:25ask her to come around a Seven Hyde Park corner.
01:03:26It's extremely urgent.
01:03:28I have a good one.
01:03:29I'm sorry, sir.
01:03:30I'm sorry.
01:03:31I'm sorry.

01:10:25That deduction, Sarah Jot, was already in my mind.
01:10:28Mrs. Edgeworth?
01:10:30Yes?
01:10:32May I see your cigarette case?
01:10:34Why? I'm not sure. I...
01:10:37I don't think I have it with me.
01:10:40Perhaps it's in your bag.
01:10:47This is it, isn't it?
01:10:49Yes.
01:10:50May I look?
01:10:51Yes.
01:10:55There is no cigarette case.
01:10:57Oh!
01:10:58Here, come here!
01:11:00Where are you going?
01:11:01Oh, just remembered I've got an engagement.
01:11:03You've got an engagement with me at Marlborough Street.
01:11:06But before we keep it, I'd just like to look in your bag.
01:11:09Come on.
01:11:10No, no.
01:11:11Come on, come on, come on.
01:11:15Been picking up things again, have you?
01:11:18This wasn't in your bag when you were searched.
01:11:21Initials?
01:11:22B.A.
01:11:23I...
01:11:24That's mine.
01:11:27Officer, may I see that?
01:11:28Oh, uh...
01:11:31Certainly, Sarah Jot.
01:11:33Give it to me.
01:11:34Well, I'll have to detain you pending a charge of arrest.
01:11:35I'll have to be the first opinion.
01:11:36Yes, sir.
01:11:37And now, I'm going to be the first opinion, wait.
01:11:38I'll have to get a second opinion.
01:11:39I'll have to be lawless.
01:11:40He'll have to be lawless.
01:11:41No, you ain't.
01:11:42No, no, no, no, no.
01:11:43No, sir.
01:11:44No, no, no.
01:11:45No, no, no, no...
01:11:57No, no, no, no, no.
01:11:58No, no, no...
01:11:59No, no.
01:12:00No, no, no.
01:12:02But I shall have to detain you pending a charge of murder.
01:12:08Officer, you mustn't do that.
01:12:10But... but it's my duty, Sir Richard.
01:12:16Good heavens, man. Heaps of people smirk at Dunners.
01:12:20Well, what's the good?
01:12:24It's true.
01:12:25George Howard asked me here to supper tonight...
01:12:32with the excuse that he could help Teddy.
01:12:35I came.
01:12:37Then he said...
01:12:39if I would go away with him...
01:12:42he'd go into the court and lie.
01:12:46Then he...
01:12:49tried to make love to me.
01:12:55I got away.
01:12:58And I swear to you, he was alive when I left this room.
01:13:16Put another offer, Sir.
01:13:18Very good, Sir.
01:13:20You're making a terrible mistake.
01:13:26Find the woman who smoked of Dunners...
01:13:29and you may find the murderer of George Howard.
01:13:32That's what you said, wasn't it, Sir?
01:13:34Yes.
01:13:36And then suddenly I knew it could not be, Sir.
01:13:39How do you mean?
01:13:41Whenever there's been a tragedy in this house...
01:13:44it's always either been a Gannett or a Chester.
01:13:47Chester's in prison.
01:13:49You know the history of this house?
01:13:51Yes.
01:13:52And I know circumstantial evidence when I see it.
01:13:57The officer's here, Sir.
01:13:58Right.
01:14:04I'm Cheetle.
01:14:0660C Division.
01:14:08Take this young lady to the station and hold her there...
01:14:10pending a charge of murder.
01:14:11Murder, eh?
01:14:12Yes.
01:14:13And you keep your nose out of it.
01:14:14This is my case.
01:14:15You tell him to do nothing until I get there.
01:14:17All right, Inspector.
01:14:20Come along, Miss.
01:14:30Don't worry.
01:14:31I'll come as soon as I can.
01:14:45Well, I suppose that's all she's pinched.
01:14:46Well, I suppose that's all she's pinched.
01:14:47Well, I suppose that's all she's pinched.
01:14:48Well, I suppose that's all she's pinched.
01:14:54Well, I suppose that's all she's pinched.
01:15:06So that's how he was able to write about in taxes.
01:15:12Oh, Mr. Cheetle.
01:15:15Come on.
01:15:16And I'm gonna book you for two further charges.
01:15:18Pick him pockets.
01:15:20Good night, Sir Richard.
01:15:24We know this and it's wrong about Miss Ainsworth, don't we?
01:15:27Will you shut your trap?
01:15:28When it pleases me, dear Mr. Cheetle.
01:15:30May I have a word of my account?
01:15:33Oh.
01:15:35Oh, very good, Sir Richard.
01:15:50Here.
01:15:54Where are you going?
01:15:55Uh, nowhere.
01:16:00Have you ever been in trouble?
01:16:01No, I haven't.
01:16:03I've seen your dial before.
01:16:08No matter.
01:16:12It's funny.
01:16:13Now, Sophie.
01:16:14You'll have to go straight after all this.
01:16:16Think I'd better?
01:16:18I'm sure you'd better.
01:16:20All right.
01:16:22I will.
01:16:27You know, it's funny, Sir Richard.
01:16:30I keep on thinking I've met you before.
01:16:32I feel that, too.
01:16:33Do you?
01:16:34Yes.
01:16:36And this room,
01:16:39ever since I've been in it,
01:16:42I've felt the gamut hatred all about me.
01:16:44Pardon me.
01:16:45Time's up, sir.
01:16:49Don't you worry, Sophie.
01:16:51I'll try not to.
01:16:53If only you was a good girl.
01:16:55She is, underneath.
01:16:57Well, I'll take your word for it, sir.
01:16:59And you'll tell the magistrate how Sophie helped you, won't you?
01:17:02Well, um, yes.
01:17:04I'm sorry I helped you make out that poor young girl a murderous.
01:17:07Well, do you know otherwise?
01:17:09No, I don't know.
01:17:10I feel it.
01:17:11I feel it here inside me.
01:17:12Well, feeling's one thing, my girl, but detecting's another.
01:17:15Yes, you've talked a lot about detecting today, haven't you?
01:17:17Yes.
01:17:18Now, here's your chance.
01:17:20Find out who murdered Gannett,
01:17:21and then Howard to put the blame on Chester,
01:17:24and you'll be Inspector Cheetle before you know where you are.
01:17:28Inspector Cheetle.
01:17:30Sounds wonderful, doesn't it?
01:17:32Yes.
01:17:33Let's suppose just for one minute that Miss Angelus didn't do it.
01:17:36Well, uh, in that case I should want another clue, wouldn't I?
01:17:40I mean, clues are very important things.
01:17:43It's in this room.
01:17:45Right?
01:17:46If only I could remember something.
01:17:51It's all so vague.
01:17:55Like the shadow of a dream.
01:18:00Let's reconstruct the crime, Mr. Cheetle.
01:18:03Look.
01:18:04Oh, yes.
01:18:05There.
01:18:06Huh?
01:18:07No, no, no, no.
01:18:08More there.
01:18:09That's right, yes.
01:18:10You see, here's the blood.
01:18:11Now, whoever fired the shot must have stood here.
01:18:15Oh, yes.
01:18:16Because, you see, if he stood here,
01:18:18well, then the bullet, look, Mr. Cheetle,
01:18:21the bullet would have been...
01:18:24Why, there it is.
01:18:26Oh, yes.
01:18:27Very interesting deduction.
01:18:28Hmm.
01:18:31That's funny.
01:18:35All right.
01:18:40I hope you don't think I've ever opened safes before, Mr. Cheetle.
01:18:43Well, naturally, I've studied every branch of my professional.
01:18:46I mean, my late professional.
01:19:00Oh!
01:19:06Oh!
01:19:17What is it?
01:19:19It's a gambling club of some kind.
01:19:24What is it?
01:19:25It's a woman's purse.
01:19:28Pretty, isn't it?
01:19:29Think.
01:19:30These things must have been in here for ages.
01:19:33Oh!
01:19:34There's money in it.
01:19:35Here, give me that.
01:19:36No, no, no, no.
01:19:37Finally, there's keepings.
01:19:43It's a...
01:19:44Sophia...
01:19:46Sophia...
01:19:48Wittering.
01:19:50What?
01:19:53Oh, that's your name.
01:19:55It must have belonged to someone that belonged to me.
01:19:581780.
01:20:03150 years ago.
01:20:09Look.
01:20:10Here's some writing.
01:20:13Sir Arthur Gannett promises to pay 500 guineas to Captain...
01:20:23Ken Cunnan.
01:20:24Ken Cunnan's.
01:20:25Oh, Cunnan's come!
01:20:27Penny's down!
01:20:36Poor little lady.
01:20:39I wonder what she looked like.
01:20:41Š”Šæ!
01:20:42You're catchy, Mrs. Whittering. Charming purple.
01:20:59Lylas!
01:21:01Springtime in Sussex.
01:21:07You were there, and Cheetal was there, and I was there too, but there was someone else.
01:21:28I wouldn't want a curse on my house.
01:21:32It's absurd. It's absurd, I tell you.
01:21:39Superstitious nonsense.
01:21:45I beg your pardon.
01:21:52Look.
01:21:53Yes.
01:21:54I knew I'd seen that place before.
01:21:58You're a gannet.
01:22:00My name's Benson, sir.
01:22:01Ashamed of your gannet blood, eh?
01:22:02I don't know what you mean, sir.
01:22:03Well, perhaps you're right to be ashamed of it.
01:22:04They're a rotten lot.
01:22:05I shall laugh.
01:22:06Ah!
01:22:07I do it.
01:22:08Then you are a gannet.
01:22:09Yes, I am, and I'm proud of it.
01:22:11I'm proud of the gannet blood in my veins.
01:22:13Even if I've no right to the name, I've always been proud to serve them.
01:22:16A gannet killed George Howard.
01:22:18It was him. Of course it was him.
01:22:19You did it.
01:22:20No.
01:22:21It was you.
01:22:22You're the last of them.
01:22:23It had to be you.
01:22:24It's absurd.
01:22:25Howard could have saved Chester.
01:22:27And you killed him, certainly shouldn't.
01:22:29You're a gannet.
01:22:30And you wanted Chester to die.
01:22:32You're all mad.
01:22:33Oh, you never got away with it.
01:22:34But you left behind one piece of evidence.
01:22:36And it's going to hang you, Benson.
01:22:38Evidence? What evidence?
01:22:39It's in this box.
01:22:41Cheetle, here's your murderer.
01:22:43Give me that box.
01:22:44Give me that box.
01:22:45You'd better.
01:22:46He might...
01:22:49Yes, a bluff.
01:22:50But it made you give yourself away.
01:22:52Cheetle.
01:22:53Don't move.
01:22:54Now, what's the good, Benson?
01:22:55You killed Howard and they'll hang you.
01:22:56He was going to let Chester off.
01:22:57Arthur Gannet let him off too.
01:22:58He ought to have killed him,
01:22:59but he hadn't got the guts to get away with it.
01:23:01There's no room for weaklings in the Gannet family.
01:23:03Oh, so you killed him too?
01:23:04Yes.
01:23:05He was not worthy of the name.
01:23:06I'm not allowed to bear.
01:23:07Don't come to here, any of you.
01:23:09Oh, my God, I'll shoot.
01:23:10Oh, it's no good, Benson.
01:23:11They'll get you.
01:23:12Never in a thousand years.
01:23:14The last of the Gannets.
01:23:15Yes.
01:23:16And the last of the curse on this house.
01:23:21The last of the Gannets.
01:23:22Yes.
01:23:23And the last of the curse on this house.
01:23:26The last of the Gannets.
01:23:27Yes.
01:23:28The last of the Gannets.
01:23:29The last of the Gannets.
01:23:30Yes.
01:23:31And the last of the curse on this house.
01:23:35The last of the Gannets.
01:23:36The last of the Gannets.
01:23:37Yes.
01:23:38And the last of the curse on this house.
01:23:51Well, Mr. Cheetle.
01:23:52Let off with a caution.
01:23:54I'm giving five pounds for assisting the police.
01:23:56And why not?
01:23:57I'd have put you away for three months.
01:23:59Oh, Mr. Cheetle, when you haven't let me out of his sight for two days.
01:24:02Now, look here, young woman.
01:24:03I've come to hate you.
01:24:04And that's for letting you out of his sight.
01:24:06Hop it.
01:24:07All right, Mr. Cheetle.
01:24:08I shan't bother about you anymore.
01:24:11Hmm.
01:24:12Very good of you, I'm sure.
01:24:13Yes.
01:24:14And you can remain a mere constable for the rest of your silly life.
01:24:17What's that?
01:24:18You're an inspector.
01:24:20Don't make me laugh.
01:24:21You'd never be an inspector if you'd live to be a hundred.
01:24:24Oh, won't I?
01:24:25No.
01:24:26Not without me, that is.
01:24:27Eh?
01:24:28Not without me to look after you and do all your thinking for you.
01:24:32What are you talking about?
01:24:34Tippi!
01:24:35Have you gone, Dippi?
01:24:36Yes.
01:24:37Yes.
01:24:38Are you going, Dippy?
01:24:40Yes.
01:24:50Yes.
