00:36Libby Brother! We're running late! Come on!
01:07Where is he? Can you see him?
01:10Relax. He said he'd be here.
01:17Excuse me. I think you've got something on your dress.
01:26No further, please. I'm afraid your appointment's gone to the bullring instead. He won't be returning.
01:33The envelope, please. Unless you want to go the same way as your sister.
01:36You didn't have to kill her.
01:38No. But I must be allowed some pleasure in my job.
01:49This is my life's work.
01:50And we will make sure that your efforts aren't wasted.
01:53I'll get it.
01:54I'll get it.
02:25I don't know.
02:53I don't know.
03:21Poor chap.
03:22The man was an absolute delight.
03:25The cleverest of any of us.
03:28And you find him shot like a dog.
03:35Can I trust you, Jimmy?
03:37The Thessage name is unimpeachable, Buckle.
03:40Come on, you know that.
03:44What if Jerry and Ronnie's deaths were somehow connected to their work at the Foreign Office?
03:48If they had discovered something untoward going on there?
03:56I don't know what to think.
03:59At first I thought Lady Coot had something to do with Jerry's death, but I don't see she can have
04:04anything to do with Ronnie's.
04:07And Jimmy, listen.
04:09Ronnie's last words were that I must tell you seven dials.
04:15Seven what, sorry?
04:16Dials.
04:17Right.
04:20And what am I supposed to make of that?
04:21I don't know.
04:23That's what he said.
04:24Tell Jimmy Thessage seven dials.
04:27Well, you'd think a chap's dying words would be a bit clearer.
04:30And why me?
04:32It's not as if I'm one of his closest chums.
04:36No, I've been thinking about that.
04:42You really have been stewing in this, haven't you?
04:53Do you have any information for Jerry's sister, Lorraine?
04:57Mar said you contacted the family to break the news.
04:59I did.
05:00Not the happiest of tasks.
05:03Attractive girl, though.
05:05Pride myself we've gone on rather well.
05:07Why'd you ask?
05:09We found a letter Jerry was writing to Lorraine before he died.
05:12But there was no address.
05:15I see.
05:17What say I facilitate a meeting, the three of us?
05:21At my rooms.
05:22I won't mind an excuse to see her again.
05:25Jimmy, you are incorrigible.
05:27I prefer hopeless romantic.
05:29You will be careful with all this digging around, won't you, Bundle?
05:34You can't have a target on your back.
05:36Or mine either, for that matter.
05:45Now, who would you say is that man staring at us through the trees?
05:50Him again.
05:51You know him.
05:52He's been peering and scratching in his notebook.
05:55Yes, he followed Ronnie and I when we went to confront Lady Coote.
05:59After which I found him having telephoned Scotland Yard.
06:01Or one of them, perhaps.
06:02Or a criminal informant.
06:04Either way, I intend to find out.
06:07I shan't let him get away a second time.
06:08Don't forget Lorraine.
06:09I shan't let him.
06:30Let's go.
06:41Oh, my God.
07:29I'll take it back.
07:35Miss, you can't go in there.
07:37You're quite mistaken, officer.
07:38I absolutely can't.
07:41See?
07:49Well, now, this is an honour.
07:54Lady Eileen Brent.
07:57I know who I am.
07:59But who the devil are you?
08:01And why have you been following me?
08:03It's battle.
08:05Superintendent battle.
08:08May I provide you with some refreshment?
08:10Do you have gin?
08:12I was more envisaging tea.
08:14It's far too early for tea.
08:18How may I be of service?
08:20You can tell me why you tried to evade my pursuit just now.
08:24I'm not in the habit of being followed.
08:26If there's any following to be done, I greatly prefer to be the one doing it.
08:30And why were you watching me when I was last with Ronnie Devereaux?
08:35I had business in the vicinity pursuant to the inquest into Mr. Gerald Wade's death.
08:46Uh, would you?
08:51Why are you interested in that?
08:54Oh, I'm interested in a great many things, Lady Eileen.
08:57Well, then, you ought to know that the inquest got it completely wrong.
09:01Gerry did not need or take sleeping draughts.
09:03And he certainly did not kill himself.
09:05Yes, I took note of your statement.
09:08Uh, he died in your bed, did he not?
09:11He did, yes.
09:13Yes.
09:13And you were also the person who discovered the body of Mr. Ronald Devereaux
09:19subsequent to his having been shot.
09:23I was.
09:24Hmm.
09:31Are you somehow suggesting I'm implicated in their deaths?
09:35I don't believe I use those words, Lady Eileen.
09:38My interest lies solely in facts.
09:41You'd be surprised how elusive they can be.
09:47Tell me.
09:49There's been no mention of Ronnie's death in the newspapers.
09:52Do you have any idea why that is?
09:53Uh, yes.
09:57And are you at liberty to share?
09:59I may have asked for a delay in reporting
10:02in order to carry out my inquiries in a timely fashion.
10:06Have you looked into any links between their deaths?
10:09Questioned anyone at the Foreign Office?
10:11Or the Coots?
10:14And what do you know about Seven Dials?
10:17You are aware, Lady Eileen,
10:20that I am usually the person asking the questions in this office?
10:23Then I hope you're enjoying this delightful turn of events.
10:26Ha, ha, ha.
10:28Seven Dials.
10:30Strictly speaking, there is no such place as Seven Dials these days.
10:34Most of it has been torn down and rebuilt.
10:38It's still rather a low quarter.
10:41Why do you ask?
10:50Jerry mentioned it in this letter he was writing the night he died.
10:55Please?
11:01How long have you had this?
11:03Why was this not submitted to the inquest?
11:07It felt personal.
11:08I didn't think it had a bearing.
11:10Oh, I see.
11:17This reference to Seven Dials,
11:20do you believe he was referring to the area or the club in Hunstanton Street?
11:23Hunstanton Street.
11:24No, Hunstanton Street.
11:25No, it's correctly pronounced.
11:27Never mind.
11:29To which was he referring?
11:30The area or the club?
11:33It's unclear.
11:33I should avoid both were I in your shoes.
11:36Would you mind if I kept this letter?
11:37I would.
11:39I would mind greatly.
11:41Please don't misunderstand me, Superintendent.
11:43It's all I have left of him.
11:48He was the best of men.
11:49So I understand.
11:54If you will let me advise you, Lady Eileen...
11:57I know what you're going to say.
11:58You should return home and leave all of this to the professionals.
12:01Meaning I am an amateur?
12:02You are an intelligent and perspicacious young woman, Lady Eileen.
12:07But these are dangerous matters.
12:09I have grasped that.
12:10I'm not a fool.
12:11I don't for a moment believe that you are.
12:14No.
12:15But please, stay away from the Foreign Office and the Cootes and...
12:19anything to do with Seven Dials.
12:23This ground is treacherous.
12:26Hmm?
12:28Hmm.
12:35You're going to do exactly the opposite of what I've just advised, aren't you?
12:39I don't know why you'd think that.
12:50Hmm.
12:56Can't I tell you how pleased I am to see you?
12:58An absolute treat.
13:00So, how's everything?
13:02I don't know how you're keeping yourself together with first poor Jerry and now poor Ronnie.
13:07For you to find him dying like that was...
13:14ghastly.
13:15Yes, I try not to think about it.
13:17We plod on, don't we?
13:19Hmm.
13:20Did Ronnie say anything to you before he died?
13:25Anything is a rather a broad canvas bundle.
13:30About Jerry?
13:32All those infernal clocks.
13:34He did not.
13:42Absent friends.
13:43That's what I say.
13:45Hmm.
13:46Hmm.
13:46Hmm.
13:47Hmm.
13:53What do you know about the Seven Dials Club?
13:56Hmm.
13:57The what?
13:57Where?
13:58Seven Dials.
14:00On Hunston Street.
14:02I don't think I know it.
14:03Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about.
14:05I've known you long enough to appreciate you only ask people to repeat themselves when you need more thinking time.
14:13Do I?
14:14Mm-hmm.
14:16Dashy bundle.
14:17How is it you know me so well, yet you're such a complete mystery to me?
14:21Seven Dials.
14:21Tell me everything.
14:22I just not much.
14:23Or this will be a very short dinner.
14:26I feel I've been somewhat ensnared.
14:31There's not much to tell.
14:33Nobody really goes there now.
14:35It was a bit of a craze for a while, but...
14:38Goodness me, it turns out you can get tired of eating fried fish.
14:41So it's a nightclub, then?
14:42Yes, that's it.
14:44Awfully mixed crowd.
14:45Er, artists.
14:46All sorts of...
14:49Odd women.
14:51Plus a sprinkling of our lot from the Foreign Office and the like.
14:54Hmm.
14:56But it's played out.
14:57Nobody goes there now.
14:58You wouldn't care for it.
15:00You wouldn't.
15:01I should like to go.
15:03No, bundle.
15:04Tonight.
15:04No, we can't do that, bundle.
15:06What if the police raid the place?
15:09Shall we taxi?
15:35Ah, good evening.
15:37Good evening, sir.
15:38Welcome back.
15:41Alfred.
15:42Good evening, Lady Eileen.
15:44How unexpected it is to see you here.
15:46Are you not still at Jimny's?
15:49Alfred is one of our footmen.
15:50Ah, I was.
15:51I left only recently after that dreadful business with Mr. Wade.
15:56I was not aware.
15:58I had a disagreement with your mother.
16:01What sort of disagreement?
16:03I felt that I should be paid.
16:05She wasn't convinced.
16:08She didn't mention it.
16:10Are you, um...
16:12You sure that you had the right place here?
16:16Yes.
16:16There are a great many other clubs that I could recommend.
16:19This one may not be what you're used to.
16:23Let us hope not.
16:41Let us hope not.
17:11You said this place was over.
17:16It's packed to the afters.
17:18Must be having a resurgence.
17:20Let us hope not.
17:28Everybody loves my baby.
17:30But my baby don't love nobody but me.
17:33Nobody but me.
17:36Everybody wants my baby.
17:39But my baby don't want nobody but me.
17:42I don't aim to see.
17:45She's got her own life
17:46Venus on her style
17:48Tough and free
17:49Oh, I'm becoming sweet
17:51She's my sheep
17:52But I'm her sheep
17:53That's why everybody loves my baby
17:56But my baby
17:57Don't let nobody with me
17:59Nobody with me
18:42Don't let nobody with me
19:06Don't let nobody with me
19:42Don't let nobody with me
19:52Don't let nobody with me
19:58Don't let nobody with me
19:59Don't let nobody with me
20:04Don't let nobody with me
20:05Don't let nobody with me
20:07Don't let nobody with me
20:08Don't let nobody with me
20:10Don't let nobody with me
20:11Don't let nobody with me
20:12Don't let nobody with me
20:13Don't let nobody with me
20:13Come on.
20:49Come on.
21:13It is essential. It does not end up in the wrong hand.
21:16We understand the formula is to be the focus of a gathering at Wyvern Abbey.
21:20Then, Seven, given your success with Devereaux, it must fall to you to attend Wyvern Abbey and ensure a successful
21:27outcome.
21:28Nothing and no one must stand in our way.
21:32Good luck, Seven.
21:56It was like nothing I have ever known.
21:59A masked group? In a London club?
22:02I've realised it sounds incredible.
22:03I'm not quite so sure.
22:04You know what you've found, Bundle? A secret society. They're everywhere these days.
22:09Do you think these could be the chaps who did for Gerry and Ronnie?
22:12I'm sure of it.
22:13They even discussed covering up Ronnie's death.
22:16The person wearing the number seven mask is going to Wyvern Abbey to steal this formula.
22:21Who else have you told?
22:23Just you.
22:24I'm not certain I can quite trust Bill yet, given his foreign office connections.
22:29And he tried to pretend he didn't know about the Seven Dials Club, but he had definitely been there before.
22:33You're very wise to be cautious.
22:38Miss Wade, sir.
22:39Ah, thank you, Stephens.
22:41Oh, and the gentleman from Lloyd's telephoned again, sir.
22:45Eager to converse.
22:47Excellent news. Make a note for me to do just that.
22:50Miss Wade, sir.
22:53Lorraine, my poor girl, how are you?
22:57This is Lady Eileen Brent.
23:01I'm sorry we're meeting under such awful circumstances.
23:05Gerry meant everything to very many of us.
23:09I feel like I've been walking around in a stupor since he died.
23:12Yes.
23:13You're not alone in that.
23:14I'm sorry we haven't met before.
23:17Were you and Gerry close?
23:19Yes, we'd become very close.
23:22We shared a father, but separate mothers.
23:25I was raised in Italy and only came back a year ago.
23:28I feel like I've been swindled out of my time with him.
23:35He talked about you a lot the last times I saw him.
23:38You obviously went a great deal to him.
23:42I hope so.
23:47Jimmy mentioned you'd found a letter?
23:48Yes.
23:54It seems he started to write it to you the night he died.
23:58Can I ask?
24:00Do you know what he means when he mentions seven dials?
24:04I mentioned going to the club there.
24:06He got rather cross and said it was no place for a girl like me.
24:09I still don't know why.
24:10I suppose he was just being protective.
24:12Or he knew of that secret society who stumbles across Bundle.
24:15Secret society?
24:16Jimmy, all of this is not for dissemination.
24:18Yes, Lorraine Wade, wipe it from your memory.
24:21It's too late now.
24:22Sorry.
24:25I keep wondering if Ronnie and Gerry were murdered.
24:31Because they knew something about this secret society from their work at the Foreign Office.
24:37And the society's leader, number seven, is going to be at Wyvern Abbey.
24:41I believe he may have killed both Gerry and Ronnie.
24:43And may even kill again.
24:44Well then we can't let you go alone.
24:47Um, uh, can we get Bill Eversley to procure me an invitation?
24:51Oh, I'm sure if he describes me as a rich young man, anxious to stand for Parliament, Lomax will fall
24:56at once.
24:56I should like to be there too.
24:58Um, that is neither desirable nor advisable.
25:02You're far too precious to place a risk.
25:05Three of us trying to secure an invite might look rather suspicious.
25:09And I still need to gain an invite myself.
25:11So I'm just to go home and wait.
25:13It's safer that way.
25:15And speaking of safe...
25:19I think this time there should be some casualties on the other side.
25:24Ah, Stephens.
25:26Could you go out and buy me a pistol?
25:29I'm feeling rather bloodthirsty this morning.
25:31What kind of pistol would you be requiring, sir?
25:33Um, one that shoots bullets with alacrity and has a very stylish handle.
25:42Good luck in vaguing a wyvern invite from Sir George Lomax.
25:54Lady Eileen, well, this is an unexpected delight.
25:58Mr Lomax, I've heard that you are convening a gathering at Wyvern Ave.
26:02Is that correct?
26:11How did you come by that information?
26:14Lady Eileen, I implore you not to circulate this further.
26:17Our national interests are at stake and the success of the gathering
26:20depends upon absolute secrecy.
26:22I'm sorry.
26:24It's already causing me untold anxiety.
26:28Given her experience of social gatherings,
26:30my mother wishes to offer whatever advice
26:33might prove helpful in the establishment and the etiquette of the weekend.
26:38Your mother is offering help?
26:42How uncharacteristic.
26:44Yes, we are all very surprised.
26:45But in truth, the timing could not be more fortuitous.
26:49Yes, please.
26:50Tell your mother I shall be over toot sweet.
26:55Adianto, lady.
27:08Ma?
27:10Shhh.
27:12Why are you hiding that?
27:14We have an intruder.
27:16How did he get in?
27:18Treadwell admitted him.
27:20When you say intruder, do you actually mean visitor?
27:25I've seen a difference.
27:26Oh, for goodness sake.
27:29By the way, when did Alfred leave?
27:33Alfred?
27:34One of the footmen.
27:35Never had an Alfred.
27:36Yes, we have.
27:37He was here for a couple of years.
27:39Well, I'll tread well.
27:41I already have.
27:43He said it would be unthinkable for him to discuss staffing matters with me
27:47and to take it up with you.
27:48Oh, no.
27:49No, no.
27:50I leave all that to, um...
27:52Well, I'm not sure who I leave it to,
27:54but I absolutely leave it to someone.
27:55Um, what are we to do about the intruder?
27:58The visitor.
28:00I fail to understand why people insist on visiting.
28:03I mean, does not the length of the approach to this house,
28:06does it not give them pause?
28:09Hmm?
28:10I am pondering a moat.
28:15Might this visitor be George Lomax?
28:19How do you know?
28:20I heard he was anxious for your advice.
28:22Advice?
28:23Oh, Bundle, no.
28:24It's intolerable that I'm always placed under these pressures.
28:30Ma, are you seriously intending on seeing out your days, isolated here?
28:34I have seen the world, Bundle.
28:36I did not relish it.
28:38Pa would not approve.
28:40Then he should have been less insistent on dying.
28:45With him, I might have more interest in navigating the world external.
28:53You still have me.
29:02Why don't I help you greet His Majesty's permanent Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs?
29:08Hmm?
29:08Now, it is essential that our conversation remains strictly entre-new.
29:17The Prime Minister has entrusted me with hosting a gathering at Wyvern Abbey,
29:23which will prove essential to the future security of this, our great nation.
29:27The venture, uh, being what, precisely?
29:32Gaining the contractual confidence of one Dr. Sybil Mateep, an inventor out of Cameroon.
29:38Hmm.
29:39What has he invented?
29:42Oh, I can only apologise, Lady Eileen.
29:45This must be entirely of no interest to you.
29:48No, quite the opposite.
29:50I am hanging on your every word, Mr. Lomax.
29:56Are you?
29:57Mm-hmm.
29:58No.
29:59Surely not.
30:03Dr. Mateep has a patent process that he applies to steel.
30:08It becomes so toughened, a thin wire is as strong as a steel bar.
30:14And in the right hands, properly applied, it will revolutionise our manufacturing industry
30:19to say nothing of our military capability.
30:22And in the wrong hands?
30:25It could prove catastrophic to our national cause.
30:30Ergo, the Prime Minister's interest.
30:35Remarkable.
30:36How quickly you grasp the severity of it, Lady Eileen.
30:42I must confess, hosting is not my forte.
30:47Really?
30:48Lacking a wife, having dedicated my entire waking life to the body politic,
30:53I'm not as, um, au fait with the niceties and exquisities of hosting as I might be.
30:59Hmm.
31:00Which is why Ma has pulled out these books for you.
31:03Oh.
31:04Have I?
31:04Have you?
31:05She has.
31:06She has?
31:06Mm-hmm.
31:07Oh, my spirits are lifted.
31:11This is, oh, this is the perfect tonic after that dreadful warning letter.
31:17A warning letter?
31:19Forget I said that.
31:20From who?
31:25Unsigned.
31:26It was merely marked seven dials.
31:29It warned me not to proceed, or my well-being would be at stake.
31:34Really?
31:35Well, a warning letter presumably implies that there are rivals vying for this invention.
31:43Yes.
31:45Every civilized nation around the globe, most notably our German friends.
31:53I'm concerned the event might be at risk of sabotage.
31:57Should we even proceed?
31:58Of course.
32:01Can't be intimidated by a mere letter.
32:03Can't I?
32:05No.
32:06No, I can't.
32:08I'm not a man to be cowed by a mere blot of ink.
32:13That is not George Lomax.
32:16You've seen it.
32:17I do.
32:18Yes, precisely.
32:18I had no idea you were so engaged with contemporary matters.
32:23But politics is about the most fascinating study there is.
32:27If only more ladies of your age felt the same.
32:32Extend the vote to us and we might.
32:36What one really craves is to witness politics from the inside.
32:43Grand events.
32:45Skillful statesmanship.
32:47Then you must attend.
32:49At Wyvern Abbey.
32:50As my guest.
32:51No.
32:51What?
32:51No?
32:52Absolutely not.
32:54Was not Mr. Lomax just explaining the implicit danger in the whole event?
33:00No, no, no.
33:00Lady Caterham, have no fear.
33:03Lady Eileen has placed fire in my belly.
33:06The event shall go ahead.
33:08I look forward to hosting you.
33:09It is a joy to see someone so, just so wonderfully improved.
33:17Onwards to protection and prosperity.
33:21Treadwell, we'll see you out.
33:43Lady Eileen, I cannot tell you how pleased I am your heir.
33:47May I introduce you to Mr. James Jonathan Thesager.
33:54Mr. Thesager is keen to stand for Parliament.
33:57A great prospect.
33:58Recommended by Mr. Eversley, who is currently in the house, dotting T's and crossing the eyes.
34:04Delighted.
34:05Mr. Thesager.
34:07Charmed.
34:10Now, of course you already know Sir Oswald and Lady Coote.
34:14Yes, we are already acquainted.
34:16You shoot, I see.
34:18Frequently.
34:20And me, of course.
34:22Hello, Pongo.
34:23And we're just awaiting our final guest.
34:26Are you totting up the shots?
34:28Or someone has to keep a record?
34:29Yeah.
34:33You'll be pleased to know Scotland Yard have sent their best man to ensure our collective safety.
34:43How are you sharing?
34:45Say!
34:46Coote!
34:46Did I just see you shoot with your left?
34:48You did indeed.
34:49Sir Oswald is ambidextrous.
34:51I'm sure he can get a cream for it.
34:53How do you mean, Thesager?
34:55Thesager was attempting to be amusing, sir.
34:57Never understood jokes.
34:59I mean, what are they for?
35:01Right.
35:01No.
35:02No, you're right.
35:03Make a note to find out, will you, Pongo?
35:10Damn shame about the boy Wade.
35:13And the in-your-office lad.
35:15His name was Ronnie.
35:17Hmm.
35:18Brutal business life.
35:21May I, um, can you, thank you.
35:24Well, may I remind us all, we have a single serious purpose here.
35:29To ensure Dr. Mateep entrusts to our great country his invention.
35:34Now, to achieve that, we need to be at our best.
35:37Oh, he's here, he's here, he's here.
35:39So calm, calm, calm.
35:40Everybody, best behavior.
35:42Calm.
35:44Dignified.
35:58Dr. Mateep, George Lomax, welcome to Wyvern Abbey.
36:03Thank you, Mr. Lomax.
36:05Now, may I introduce you to Sir Oswald and Lady Goote.
36:10How do you do?
36:11Mr. James Thesager.
36:13How do you do?
36:14How do you do?
36:15And Lady Eileen Brent.
36:17Hello.
36:18How do you do?
36:18It's a pleasure to meet you all.
36:20I'm all coming, sir.
36:21Oh, right.
36:22Ah, right.
36:23Prepare for further slaughter.
36:27Dr. Mateep!
36:29Can you shoot?
36:32Uh, no.
36:34Guns are...
36:35not for me.
36:41We haven't defended.
36:44Oh, no.
36:45Um, perhaps I could rest before dinner.
36:48Of course, of course.
36:50We'll keep the noise down.
36:51No shooting!
36:53Terrible idea, shooting.
36:55I don't know whose it was.
36:56Let me show you inside.
37:07You all right, old girl?
37:11Keeping an eye out for the identity of this murderous number seven, eh?
37:15Ronnie was shot in the chest.
37:19They're clearly at home with guns.
37:21Everyone here is, though.
37:23I'd say Lomax is the most jumpy right now.
37:26It seems to me that either Lomax or Coote could be your number seven.
37:30And then, of course, there's this chap.
37:32Lady Eileen?
37:34Mr. Pessager?
37:36He knows my name.
37:38Wait, that's not a good thing, is it?
37:41I see you have ignored all of my advice and exhortations.
37:45I was personally invited by George Lomax.
37:48Hmm.
37:48Have you found out who killed Jerry Wade or Ronnie Devereaux yet?
37:52My investigation continues.
37:58Your presence here simply complicates my ability to do that.
38:02I'm merely here as a guest.
38:05Are you indeed?
38:17Oh, I say.
38:18Excellent.
38:19Splendid performance.
38:21Who was that?
38:22Which Coote?
38:23Was one of you...
38:24Lady Coote.
38:25Lady Coote.
38:27You should know.
38:29Wait, wait!
38:54Well, as we're now all assembled, I wonder, Dr. McDeep,
38:58if you would do us the honour of telling us
39:00just a little bit about your life and journey to this table.
39:06My family is from Douala, in the south-west of Cameron.
39:09Oh.
39:11At the time of my birth, Douala was a German protectorate.
39:15My father was a village leader.
39:19And, like many of the children from the top families,
39:21I was sent to Germany to be educated.
39:24Did you say Germany?
39:26Were you really?
39:27Mm-hmm.
39:28Oh.
39:29Where exactly in Germany, Dr. McDeep?
39:32I studied engineering at the Goethe University in Frankfurt,
39:35as well as apprenticeships in the Ruhr.
39:38Oh.
39:39It's a very beautiful country.
39:41And is that the extent of your connections to Germany?
39:47No.
39:50I fought for them in the war.
39:52You fought for the Germans?
39:55Yes.
39:56I had no choice.
39:59The whole of West Africa was engulfed in battles between Germany, France, and England.
40:05In Cameroon, we faced troops from Nigeria, the Belgian Congo, French Equatorial Africa.
40:13For more than two years, Africans fought other Africans on behalf of and led by white Europeans.
40:25Well, then we are grateful for all their and your endeavours.
40:33I lost my entire family.
40:36I never want to see anything like that happen again.
40:40You're not alone in that, Dr. McDeep.
40:45Now, my country is French, thanks to the Treaty of Versailles.
40:49But I am grateful to England for affording me safe passage and allowing me to be here with you today.
40:55You can now rest easy in the knowledge that you are now in a country that you can trust.
41:01Yes.
41:02Of course.
41:06But you would say that, wouldn't you?
41:09I'm sorry.
41:11I do not follow.
41:13When we want someone to trust us, we first assure them of our trustworthiness.
41:20But equally, the first act of the duplicitous is to demonstrate how they are beyond reproach.
41:26This is England.
41:27Our word is second to none.
41:30That's what the Germans said.
41:33And the French.
41:34If you never want to see another war, we are your men.
41:38Isn't that right, Lomax?
41:40Absolutely.
41:41Now, I want to see this formula in action.
41:46Did you bring a sample?
41:47Oswald, not at the table.
41:49Oh, and convention.
41:51Let the dogs see the rabbit.
41:53Do you remember the etiquette lessons?
41:54Don't you agree, Lady Eileen?
41:57Yes, I'd be fascinated to see.
42:06The casing of this pocket watch is non-corrosive, non-magnetic metal, made to withstand extremely
42:17high temperatures.
42:21This was the best way to transport it.
42:25Since the end of the war, this has become my life's work.
42:28To create a metal so impervious to destruction that war itself would no longer have purpose.
42:35This sample.
42:39Can you prove it's as strong as you say?
42:46Do you still have those shotguns?
42:56Are we entirely sure this is safe?
42:58Sir Oswald is an excellent shot.
43:08May I?
43:14Incredible.
43:16The casing.
43:17Barely a mark on it.
43:20Bravo, young man.
43:23Very impressive.
43:26Now, there is a safe in your room to store the formula and demonstration model.
43:31Police officers are stationed around the grounds.
43:34May I suggest we all retire after a very successful evening?
43:40Well done.
43:45Good night.
43:48Congratulations.
43:49Excellent.
43:49Bye.
44:12Stay with me, Jimmy.
44:17Bundle.
44:18Bundle.
44:18Bundle.
44:19What in the Lord's name are you doing here?
44:21You are not to get mixed up in this.
44:23Do you understand?
44:23I'm already mixed up in it.
44:28I think whoever killed Jerry and Ronnie is here at the Abbey.
44:33And I think they're about to steal Dr. Matip's formula.
44:36Now, you can either be cross with me,
44:39or the three of us can devise a plan
44:40to stop any theft
44:43and expose the killer.
44:44Yeah, that's a good idea.
44:47We need to make sure no one comes in or out of Dr. Matip's room overnight.
44:56Here is the perfect vantage point.
44:58Anyone coming or going will be easily spotted.
45:01We'll divide the knight into watches.
45:03Right.
45:04Heads, you go first and I go second.
45:06Yes.
45:06Tails, vice versa.
45:07That's only two watches.
45:09It's no job for a girl.
45:10It's far too risky.
45:11Right.
45:13Tails, I'll go first.
45:14We switch at three.
45:15And I'll even lend you Leopold when the time comes.
45:18Leopold?
45:20My new best friend.
45:21Oh, don't.
45:22Why don't you let him bring the cup?
45:23I'm his keeper.
45:24And what about my watch?
45:26This chap doesn't play fair.
45:28Let us boys take the watches.
45:29Okay?
45:30Right.
45:30Everyone to our corners.
45:32Go.
45:33Let's go.
46:26Oh, the raisin.
46:32Very poor glass of ivy.
46:37Dr. McHeapes?
46:48Superintendent.
46:50He gave me a fright.
46:53That is precisely what I am here for, Lady Eileen.
46:58What are you doing out here?
46:59Ensuring that no one is about who shouldn't be.
47:02May I ask what you are doing out here?
47:04Me?
47:05Yes, you.
47:06Do you normally exit buildings via the window?
47:10Uh, depends on the building.
47:13I was looking for the West Terrace.
47:16Oh, the West Terrace?
47:16Mm-hmm.
47:17Well, the West Terrace is my purview.
47:19So may I encourage you to return to bed?
47:22And when I say encourage, you may take that as a direct instruction or order, should that
47:27be more effective.
47:28Go for it.
47:29How long have you worked at Scotland Yard, Superintendent?
47:32I shall provide you with a full professional history at a later point, but you are causing
47:37a distraction at a vital juncture and are therefore running the risk of arrest unless you do,
47:43as I ask, immediately.
47:47Please.
47:50Back up the ivy.
47:51Oh, yes.
47:52What's left of it, if you can?
47:54Of course I can.
47:56Very easily.
48:29Where's our watchman?
48:38Bill.
48:42Dasha.
48:44Bill, wake up.
48:45Jimmy's exited his post.
48:48Boys.
48:58Bill?
49:00Jimmy?
49:02Jimmy, is that you?
49:05No!
49:06Jimmy!
49:10Quick!
49:11What's going on?
49:12What's going on in there?
49:14Oscar!
49:14Please, please.
49:17Jimmy.
49:18Jimmy.
49:18Welcome.
49:22Let's go.
49:3215.
49:38Oh, well.
49:40You sure?
49:41Anyway.
49:41Oh, well.
49:41Oh, well.
49:43Come.
49:44Come.
49:45You.
49:45Hey.
49:46Hey.
49:47Oh, well.
49:49Hmm, well.
49:49I'm kidding.
49:49Oh, well.
49:51The third one is one.
