00:00:00.

00:00:40Good morning.

00:00:41Good morning, sir.

00:00:45Good morning.

00:00:46Good morning, Mr. Kane.

00:00:47Mrs. Kane, are you still enjoying London?

00:00:50I always enjoy London.

00:00:51Oh, Stan seems so blasé, but don't be fooled, Wyatt.

00:00:54Between you and me, my husband's like a kid with a new train set every morning.

00:00:57Oh, yeah? And who dragged me out to see the tower last night?

00:01:00It's better when it's floodlit, she says.

00:01:02It's also better when it isn't raining.

00:01:04Um, I'll take these in fives, please.

00:01:07And the way Susie's been spending, I'll probably be back for more within an hour.

00:01:10Fine. Mr. Kane, I wonder if you'd mind.

00:01:13My son, he likes very much jazz piano.

00:01:15Oh, sure.

00:01:16Frankly, I lean towards the classics myself.

00:01:19Well, do me a favor. Don't talk him out of it, or I might not be able to cash any

00:01:22more checks.

00:01:22What's his name?

00:01:23Alec.

00:01:24Oh, Alec.

00:01:25Okay. Here, I'll swap you.

00:01:31And now, Mrs. Kane.

00:01:36Let me see.

00:01:40Just stay out of the way.

00:01:42Yes, sir.

00:01:43You have sense.

00:01:45How have you feeling?

00:01:47Yes, sir.

00:02:02No!

00:02:04No!

00:02:07Susie!

00:02:08Susie!

00:02:12Stay there!

00:03:08BIRDS CHILDREN

00:03:46Is it all right?

00:03:48It's fine.

00:03:49And the acoustics, do they suit you?

00:03:51They're great.

00:03:52It's a long time since I've heard notes lie so sweet you could hear a pin drop in this room.

00:03:55In those days, they believed in conversation.

00:03:58They wanted to make sure they could hear each other.

00:03:59Just as long as they stop talking when I start by.

00:04:02Oh, that's never been a problem for you, Mr. K.

00:04:04That's the way I like to hear my agents talk.

00:04:06A fan, even before I joined the agency.

00:04:09When I heard you were coming over, I practically blackmailed Ted into letting me handle some of your tour.

00:04:14She's a very good agent, too, your Miss Gordon.

00:04:17I had my daughter Claudia twisting one arm and this little lady twisting the other.

00:04:22Has she told you what I have to pay you to play at my daughter's engagement party?

00:04:25Oh, I'm the last of the wine, Sir Peter.

00:04:27You should understand about that.

00:04:28Oh, but where, Mr. K.?

00:04:30The wine market's taken a bit of a knock.

00:04:31Look, I've got a cellar full of miraculous clarets downstairs that nobody can afford to buy.

00:04:37You wouldn't care to be paid in wine, I suppose.

00:04:39That's right.

00:04:40Nobody's ever sympathetic to a wine shipper.

00:04:43They all think we have far too good a time of it.

00:04:46I'll leave you in Miss Gordon's capable hands.

00:04:53Where do you want to go?

00:04:54I think over by the fire would be nice.

00:04:56All right.

00:04:58This way.

00:04:59Ah, yes.

00:05:06Must be a strain for you, coming back to this country.

00:05:09Hmm?

00:05:09Oh, I read it.

00:05:11I've read everything about you.

00:05:13Your wife killed and you blinded.

00:05:16I don't see how you can bear to come back to us at all.

00:05:18Well, that was ten years ago.

00:05:20You cope, you adjust.

00:05:23They never caught them, did they?

00:05:25No, they never did.

00:05:26Oh, I'm sorry.

00:05:27I shouldn't have read it.

00:05:28No, no, no, don't be sorry.

00:05:29Fortunately, I'm in the one business where you can do without your eyes.

00:05:32It was tougher learning to do without Susie, but things fade.

00:05:37Uh-oh.

00:05:38Young lady, if you'd be kind enough to take me to my dressing room, I'd better start getting changed.

00:05:42Sure.

00:05:44And it's Julie.

00:05:45Right.

00:05:46Well, it sure is nice having you around, Julie.

00:14:48Hear who?

00:14:49What are you hoping to hear?

00:14:50I'm not hoping, Jimmy.

00:14:53Stan, would you tell me what this is all about?

00:14:56Yeah.

00:14:57But someplace else, huh?

00:14:59Could we go someplace where it's quiet?

00:15:01Yeah, come on, here.

00:15:11Sorry.

00:15:12I forgot.

00:15:14They set up a disco in there for the pop fiends.

00:15:17Terrific.

00:15:17Really marvelous.

00:15:18Thank you very much.

00:15:21Oh, I could listen to you all night, Mr. Kane.

00:15:24Mr. Kane, might I have your autograph, please?

00:15:27I'm sure you give it to me, sir, my darling.

00:15:30I thought you wanted to.

00:15:32Mr. Kane.

00:15:43There's a couch over here.

00:15:44Come and sit down.

00:15:52Now, what is it?

00:15:54I think I told you that I digested.

00:15:56I said that things fade.

00:15:57Yes.

00:15:59Well, some things don't fade.

00:16:00At least one thing, didn't it?

00:16:02The killer's voice.

00:16:03The killer's voice?

00:16:04Yes, you see, I heard him speak.

00:16:06He said, you have sense.

00:16:09Help him fill it.

00:16:10And stay clear, stay clear.

00:16:13Only Susie didn't stay clear.

00:16:14She got in the way.

00:16:17Well, he was wearing a hood over his head,

00:16:19so his voice wasn't muffled,

00:16:20but I've got one of the best ears in the business,

00:16:23and singers call perfect pitch,

00:16:24and I could pick him out of a baseball crowd.

00:16:28And tonight, I heard that voice again.

00:16:33The man who killed my wife,

00:16:35who blinded me, is here.

00:16:37That can't be.

00:16:38Why not?

00:16:39Well, because...

00:16:40Because our hosts wouldn't know such a man?

00:16:41Yes.

00:16:42Look, a man went to jail for armed robbery

00:16:45just a few months ago,

00:16:45and I seem to remember he had a big house near here.

00:16:48All right, there are some people.

00:16:48Criminals don't go around looking like criminals anymore.

00:16:50I mean, he might not even be a criminal now.

00:16:53He may have made his stake and gone straight.

00:16:55That can happen.

00:16:56Look, this is all just on a voice.

00:16:58You heard ten years ago.

00:17:00Can't you be mistaken?

00:17:02No.

00:17:04What did it sound like, this voice?

00:17:07Well, there's nothing extraordinary about it.

00:17:10I mean, the way it sounds to me might not make sense to you,

00:17:14because I hear it differently, you see.

00:17:16I hear a certain register in it.

00:17:19How do you know I don't hear the same way?

00:17:21Well, maybe you do, but I don't think so,

00:17:23because it's a question of tones, you see.

00:17:26Vibes, half-tones.

00:17:28Look, tonight, I didn't even hear the words.

00:17:30All I was getting was the shape, the structure of the sounds.

00:17:34Well, if we don't hear voices...

00:17:35What?

00:17:38There's someone outside the door.

00:17:40There are a hundred people.

00:17:44This one isn't moving.

00:17:48He's listening to us.

00:17:51Now he's moving.

00:18:00What are you doing in here?

00:18:01I didn't know that parts of this house were off-limits.

00:18:04Not that it's any of your business.

00:18:06Oh, but it is.

00:18:07Who are you?

00:18:08Ben Tamplin, security.

00:18:11There's lots of valuable stuff in this house.

00:18:14And pictures, for instance.

00:18:15They're not my taste, but they run into thousands, some of them.

00:18:18You just stopped us from cutting them out of the frames.

00:18:21Right?

00:18:22Passing them to our gang, out the window, right?

00:18:26You're joking.

00:18:27That's right, I'm joking.

00:18:28And you're being presumptuous and rude.

00:18:30You must know who Mr. K is, even if you don't know who I am.

00:18:33K?

00:18:35Oh.

00:18:36The entertainer.

00:18:36Now, wait a minute.

00:18:38No, drop it, Julie.

00:18:39The man paid me a compliment.

00:18:41The entertainer.

00:18:41Look, I'm doing me job.

00:18:42Very badly.

00:18:43Leave it alone, Julie.

00:18:44After all, Mr. Tamplin is going to apologize to you.

00:18:47Aren't you Mr. Tamplin?

00:18:50Oh.

00:18:51Sorry if I was a bit abrupt, but there's lots of valuable things in this house.

00:18:56Come on.

00:18:56We'll leave this man to count his silver.

00:19:03I had no idea you have such a temper.

00:19:06I just get angry, that's all.

00:19:08I'm sorry.

00:19:08Don't be told that temper suggests a passionate nature.

00:19:18No.

00:19:20Maybe you were right the first time.

00:19:22Just imagination.

00:19:23I bought it the first time, yes.

00:19:25The second time, it's him.

00:19:26He's here.

00:19:27Look, there must be a guest list.

00:19:29Julie, I don't know his name.

00:19:30Just the sound, the feel, the nuances of his voice.

00:19:33Then what are you going to do?

00:19:36Look, I'll need your help, hmm?

00:19:38Right.

00:19:39Would you steer me around this place, so I can listen?

00:19:45All right.

00:19:47And then he just stopped at the water and pitched me straight over his head.

00:19:51Oh, my goodness.

00:19:52My dear, thank you.

00:19:53The man in the room is stealthy.

00:19:55I have never seen such a polished bunch of cover in so much life.

00:20:01The man in the room so happy.

00:26:19Julie, what is this, a notebook, a pocketbook, what? Julie!

00:26:25Stan, we're not alone.

00:26:29That's right. Well, the entertainer. Funny kind of entertainment there is.

00:26:38Look, I know this looks odd. Very odd. Going through people's pockets.

00:26:42You're just jumping to conclusions. Oh, am I?

00:26:44Because you don't know the full facts. Well, you'd better give them to me then, hadn't you?

00:26:48That's enough. I'm going to find Sir Peter.

00:26:53Not until I've had the full facts. Well?

00:26:58All right. Look, it was more than ten years ago. A bank rate.

00:27:02Oh. And that's it. I mean, he's here. I heard him.

00:27:10It's crazy. Recognizing a voice after ten years. Do you believe this?

00:27:15Yes. No. Maybe she'd like to. Maybe she even half believes, but completely.

00:27:21Nevertheless, the man who killed my wife is in this house.

00:27:25What did he say, this man you heard tonight?

00:27:27He said, uh, Ludo, you've lost your bet about the Saint-Emilion. I've just tasted it.

00:27:34Look, if we could just find this, Ludo.

00:27:36Then ask him who said that to him.

00:27:38Well, I'm not saying I don't believe you, but you have heard crazier things.

00:27:42Maybe.

00:27:44Tell you what I'll do. I've got some police friends. I'll check up on the bank rate store.

00:27:49And if it checks out?

00:27:50Then I'll start looking for Ludo. I'm not saying I'm convinced, mine. Just going to check up, that's all.

00:28:09Julie, what did his face look like, uh, our security friend? Was it skeptical, humoring, or does he really mean

00:28:14to do something?

00:28:15I think he'll do what he said he'll do.

00:28:18Now, come on. Let's go back to the party.

00:28:23Oh, Stan, I don't think you ought to tell anyone else about that voice.

00:28:27In case they lock me up, right?

00:28:28No, I didn't mean that.

00:28:29What do you mean?

00:28:31I mean, if it's true, then...

00:28:32If it's true. You see, I was right about you. You'd like to believe, but you can't.

00:28:36I was going to say, if it is true, then the fewer people who know, the better.

00:28:41In case he gets to know. Then you'd be in danger, wouldn't you?

00:28:45Hmm. Your hand.

00:28:49You know, Julie, I thought I'd adjust it. Ten years of adjustment.

00:28:53And for the first time, I find myself wishing for the impossible.

00:28:57My sight.

00:29:08Well, if this is a party, do you suppose you could find me some champagne?

00:29:13Sure. Come on.

00:29:16Anyway, I'm pleased Robert's a fine chap. Came right out of the blue.

00:29:20There's more ways than one, eh, Sir Peter?

00:29:22Hmm?

00:29:23Well, a few years ago, who had heard of Robert Carr?

00:29:25And now, suddenly, he's the bright boy.

00:29:27Oh, that's the way things are these days, meteoric.

00:29:30Besides that...

00:29:31Excuse me, sir.

00:29:31Yeah?

00:29:32Is there a phone I could use, sir? It's private.

00:29:34Oh, in the study there.

00:29:36Oh, thank you, sir.

00:29:37Something wrong?

00:29:38Oh, sir. Nothing I can't handle, sir.

00:29:40Oh.

00:29:43How was I?

00:29:55I see.

00:29:57So he's telling the truth about the back ride, anyway.

00:30:00Ludo!

00:30:01Hey, Ludo!

00:30:04George, I'll call you back.

00:30:18The nuances of fine wine mean nothing, absolutely nothing to the uninitiated.

00:30:23But to the connoisseur, well, every single wine is a different reflection.

00:30:33Is it all right to speak or are you listening?

00:30:36Sit down, Julie. Tell me all your hopes and fears.

00:30:39Hopes?

00:30:40Here.

00:30:43oh happy life husband kids but most of all the hope that you were mistaken about that voice

00:30:50that's sad i mean a forlorn hope is always sad isn't it but i'm sure the husband and kids will

00:30:56work out well and then that brings me to my fears i know a lot of those people down there

00:31:04and my fear is that it might be one of them luda oh you mean old ludovic bates why you

00:33:11i thought we might find him in there he usually starts praying after breaking glass around that

00:33:15midnight

00:33:22looks as if he'll have to chase all through the wine cellars now

00:34:22Now it's my turn.

00:34:23No.

00:34:24First.

00:34:25Don't you dare.

00:34:28Mr. Bates?

00:34:31Security.

00:34:32Like a word.

00:34:40You there?

00:34:54Who did he say he was?

00:34:56I don't know.

00:34:57I don't care.

00:34:59Mr. Bates?

00:35:02Follow the wire.

00:35:04You'll bet with someone.

00:35:05Come on.

00:35:25Mr. Bates, you here?

00:35:26Hello.

00:35:27Oh, my God.

00:35:56Oh, my God.

00:36:10He's getting here.

00:36:12Assistant who ever is.

00:36:22Should we tell him we're here?

00:36:23Definitely not.

00:36:31Mr. Bates!

00:36:52Mr. Bates!

00:37:13There you are. You wanted to see it.

00:37:15That little bottle set me back 3,000 at a wine auction.

00:37:203,000 for one bottle of wine.

00:37:23It's not just a bottle of wine. It's an investment.

00:37:271812 Burgundy.

00:37:28You must think.

00:37:30Victoria not on the throne yet.

00:37:32And probably quite undrinkable.

00:37:34Without a doubt.

00:37:35Oh, surely not.

00:37:36That's right, Peter. Why not crack it open now and let's try something.

00:37:39No!

00:37:40I must get back to the party

00:37:42and find that daughter of mine

00:37:45and her fiancé.

00:37:48Where is he, anyway?

00:37:50Desserted her already.

00:37:52Don't be ridiculous.

00:37:57Where on earth have you been?

00:37:59I've been looking everywhere for you.

00:38:01Sorry, darling.

00:38:02I might have known you've been down in the cellars looting daddy's claret.

00:38:06I've been doing nothing of the sort.

00:38:07As a matter of fact, I dropped my lighter behind a radiator.

00:38:10That'd be contorted to us to get it back.

00:38:13Now, you come and have a talk to Stan Kaye.

00:38:15You haven't exchanged a word with him all night.

00:38:17Later, sweetheart.

00:38:17I've just got to complete a deal with old town's agencies.

00:38:20Oh, Robbie!

00:38:21So I decided to join the agency.

00:38:23I'm sorry. Look, I hate to keep bothering you,

00:38:25but Tamplin's been such a long time now.

00:38:27Just one phone call, he said.

00:38:29Maybe he's found him.

00:38:31Or he's still looking.

00:38:34Please.

00:38:36All right.

00:38:37I'll go see what's happening.

00:38:42Oops, Harry. I'll be right back.

00:38:53I know I left a cigarette somewhere.

00:39:14Probably left some in my coat.

00:39:18Probably left some in my coat.

00:39:22Probably left some in my coat.

00:39:54I've been acting strangely all evening.

00:39:57Now, look. Don't hang about.

00:39:59All is well.

00:40:00We'll get on with it.

00:40:01Now, do carry on with the party, will you?

00:40:02Thank you very much, indeed, for all you.

00:40:06Well, Miss Gordon, luckily it seems we have a doctor in the house.

00:40:09Dr. Mace.

00:40:14Is he all right?

00:40:16I don't know yet.

00:40:19Would you mind waiting outside, please?

00:40:25Yes, we'll wait outside.

00:40:33Come on, come on.

00:40:34Must have spoiled Claudia's party.

00:40:36You need all to play.

00:40:37Yes, he'll be all right.

00:40:39Now, come on.

00:40:39You two.

00:40:40No, no, no, no.

00:40:43Come on, Miss Gordon.

00:40:44Now, he's an expert here.

00:40:46Mr. Kay.

00:40:47Mr. Kay.

00:40:50Mr. Kay.

00:40:52Mr. Kay.

00:40:53Mr. Kay.

00:40:54Mr. Kay.

00:40:55Mr. Kay.

00:41:11Mr. Kay.

00:41:13Mr. Kay.

00:41:15Mr. Kay.

00:41:16Mr. Kay.

00:41:18Mr. Kay.

00:41:19Mr. Kay.

00:41:20Mr. Kay.

00:41:21Mr. Kay.

00:41:23Mr. Kay.

00:41:24Mr. Kay.

00:41:25Mr. Kay.

00:41:26Mr. Kay.

00:41:27Mr. Kay.

00:41:27All right, where are you taking me?

00:41:29Come to me.

00:41:35You wait and see.

00:41:40We'll be safe.

00:41:44Spile sport.

00:41:48I've got three.

00:41:50You.

00:42:01The hair of the dog for you?

00:42:03It's ice.

00:42:04I think he's all right.

00:42:10There's no concussion.

00:42:11More shaken than anything.

00:42:13Just you take it easy for a bit, Mr. K.

00:42:16Thank you, Doctor.

00:42:17Julie?

00:42:18Yeah.

00:42:19Here's some water.

00:42:20No, thank you.

00:42:21How are you feeling?

00:42:22Fine.

00:42:24No, I mean it.

00:42:26Are we alone?

00:42:27Yeah.

00:42:28Julie, I'm right.

00:42:30I've been proved right.

00:42:32See, I heard that voice.

00:42:33And I started toward it and he hit me with something.

00:42:37But don't you see, it proves that I know what I'm talking about.

00:42:40Because he attacked me.

00:42:42Not only do I know about him now, but obviously he knows about me.

00:42:46I was moving up the stairs toward him because he planned it that way.

00:42:48He spoke so I would hear him, so I would move toward him.

00:42:51And he was just standing there waiting for me.

00:42:54Boy, a lamb to slaughter.

00:43:16Where are you going?

00:43:17He's still here.

00:43:19You don't know that.

00:43:20Oh, yes I do.

00:43:21Now I do.

00:43:21Stop.

00:43:25Look, Julie.

00:43:27Julie, if I'm right, how does he know that I know?

00:43:31When you were telling Tamplin.

00:43:33Sure.

00:43:34You mean in that room upstairs?

00:43:36Yeah, it was quiet.

00:43:37He must have been outside the door listening.

00:43:39But suppose...

00:43:39No, no, hear me out.

00:43:40If he did hear, then why didn't he just leave this party?

00:43:44Why didn't he run?

00:43:46Because he can't?

00:43:48Because he's important.

00:43:50And it would be noticed if he left early.

00:43:52He's stuck here, Julie.

00:43:53I'm gonna find him.

00:43:54But how?

00:43:55Tamplin.

00:43:55What's happened to Tamplin?

00:43:56Does it matter?

00:43:56You bet it does, because Tamplin must know now, too.

00:43:58He left that room.

00:43:59You remember half believing me?

00:44:00He was gonna check out my story, find Ludo, whoever he is.

00:44:03The man with the voice would never let that happen.

00:44:05Do you mean that, Tamplin?

00:44:06Tamplin could be on his way to an accident, too.

00:44:08Well, hold on.

00:44:09Where are you going?

00:44:09Well, to find Tamplin, to ask some questions.

00:44:12But ask who?

00:44:13Who can you trust?

00:44:13Sir Peter?

00:44:14You've heard him speak.

00:44:15It's not him.

00:44:16The waiters, the staff.

00:44:17Well, a waiter would hardly be making a bet with a guest, would he?

00:44:20No.

00:44:21No, you're right.

00:44:23Okay.

00:44:23Take me with you.

00:44:24I can't do much, but I can listen.

00:44:26You promised to stay put.

00:44:41Now stay here, out of trouble.

00:45:07Ludo.

00:45:08You promised me the very next start.

00:45:12Ludo.

00:45:13Ludo.

00:45:14Ludo.

00:45:15Ludo?

00:45:15That's right.

00:45:17He's live.

00:45:18Look, I just wanna ask him some questions.

00:45:20So do I.

00:45:21Ludo.

00:45:22Ludo.

00:45:23Oh, Ludo.

00:45:24Ludo.

00:45:25Ludo.

00:45:25Wake up, Ludo.

00:45:26Come on.

00:45:51Ludo.

00:45:52Ludo.

00:45:52I told you that he's not.

00:45:54In fact, I think we're engaged.

00:45:56Ludo.

00:45:57Hello.

00:45:58You made a bet about wine.

00:46:01Oh, can't you get him some black coffee?

00:46:03Oh, I would, but I don't think my legs are moving.

00:46:17Dear Mr. Kaye, I've been trying all evening to get your autograph.

00:46:23Oh, all right.

00:46:26Ah, Callum, there you are.

00:46:28I've been looking for you.

00:46:29Where did you disappear to?

00:46:31Drinking the profits.

00:46:32Sir Peter.

00:46:33Ah, Mr. Kaye.

00:46:35It'll keep.

00:46:36I'll see you later.

00:46:37Very well.

00:46:40Are you, um, fully recovered?

00:46:42I'm sorry to hear about your accident.

00:46:45I wasn't drunk, Sir Peter.

00:46:47No, I can see that.

00:46:48But you heard I was?

00:46:49This place is like a battlefield.

00:46:51Rumors fly.

00:46:53I'll bet old Ludo went along with it.

00:46:54Ludo?

00:46:55Yes, he's a guest here.

00:46:57Oh, I don't know him, but I don't know half the people here.

00:47:00Claudia's friends, you know.

00:47:01Uh-huh.

00:47:01Well, that must make things pretty tough for security.

00:47:03I have a fellow looking after that, a chap called Tamplin.

00:47:07Say, is he anywhere around?

00:47:10I can't see him.

00:47:11Why do you want him?

00:47:12There's just something I wanted to ask him.

00:47:15I got the impression I saw him heading towards the wine cellar, but that was half an hour ago.

00:47:26You know, I've heard so much about these famous wine cellars of yours, I was wondering, is there any chance

00:47:31that I might go down there?

00:47:32Well...

00:47:33I really would love to sample the clarinet.

00:47:36So you shall, and so shall I.

00:47:38Come along.

00:47:41I didn't want to put you to all this trouble.

00:47:43There's no trouble at all.

00:47:44Frankly, I'm glad of an excuse to get away from this lot.

00:47:59Here's the staircase.

00:48:01Fine steps all together, not too slippery.

00:48:03Put your hand on my shoulder.

00:48:04Oh, thank you.

00:48:05I thought if you had a wine steward or a cellar man that I could talk to him.

00:48:09He'd take care of me.

00:48:10Well, there's Parkinson, of course, but he'd have retired past by now, I should think.

00:48:15Huh?

00:48:16Overzealous sampling of the product.

00:48:18He's learned that good wine is stronger than his Yorkshire beer.

00:48:22He usually manages to get to his room, collapse on the bed.

00:48:26Occasionally, he's about makes it to the staircase.

00:48:29Next morning, he resigns.

00:48:31Yes, did he?

00:48:32I reject his resignation.

00:48:34It's a game we've been playing for years.

00:48:36Well, he sounds like quite a character.

00:48:38I'd like to have met him.

00:48:38Well, you may be lucky, but I doubt it.

00:48:41At these parties, can just anybody come down and taste the wine?

00:48:44No, only close friends.

00:48:46And have any of them done it tonight?

00:48:48Well, now, steady.

00:48:50Ah, thank you.

00:48:50I believe Alan Richards said something.

00:48:53Now, he's got a good palate, even though he's a millionaire.

00:48:56There.

00:48:57Come along with me.

00:49:16Come along with me.

00:49:19There.

00:49:20Yeah, he hasn't bought it.

00:49:22There, he hasn't bought it.

00:49:24Yeah.

00:49:25Parkinson?

00:49:28Curious how sound deadening this place is.

00:49:30Yes, it gets absorbed because there's no feedback.

00:49:32Oh.

00:49:32This is what they made studios like at the beginning of radio.

00:49:35Sound is a living thing, you see.

00:49:36And they just took all the life out of it.

00:49:39Parkinson!

00:49:42Parkinson!

00:49:43Oh, steady. Up. Yeah, that's right. Just over to the left a bit.

00:49:49Down a step. That's right, yes.

00:50:01I'm sorry, I thought I heard something.

00:50:03Oh, here we go, this way.

00:50:27Here.

00:50:29Oh, not a patch in the centimillion.

00:50:31Drink it. Go on, drink it.

00:50:34Oh, I do so admire a dominant woman.

00:50:37Oh.

00:50:39No Parkinson, I'm afraid.

00:50:42Oh, he's been at the 69th Champaton again.

00:50:46And the 66 centimillion.

00:50:48Well, you have to admit the man has taste.

00:50:51What is this, uh, visitor's book?

00:50:53No, cellar book.

00:50:54Name of the wine, name of the shipper, vintage, where we bought it.

00:51:00Price, comments and so on.

00:51:01Comments? Well, what we thought of it, what our guests thought of it.

00:51:04Well, it's still improving, so on.

00:51:06Well, you mean if anyone had been tasting tonight,

00:51:08Parkinson would have written down their names and what they said?

00:51:11He might have done, depending on A, how conscientious he was feeling,

00:51:15and B, how drunk he was.

00:51:18Well, I've heard a couple of people mention the, uh, Saint-Emilion.

00:51:21Has he written about anyone tasting that?

00:51:23Well, he was just about able to hold the pen, apparently.

00:51:27Two friends tasted it.

00:51:29John Pelham and James Townsend.

00:51:31Pelham said, excellent, and Townsend, knockout.

00:51:36Would you like to taste something?

00:51:37Oh, well, how about that, uh, Saint-Emilion I've been hearing so much about?

00:51:40Oh, good idea, and so shall I.

00:51:44Ah, I see that it's in a bin back near the staircase.

00:51:48Now, you stay futile, I won't be a minute.

00:51:51All right.

00:51:57Richards, Pelham, Townsend.

00:52:00Richards, Pelham Townsend.

00:52:13Oh, excellent coffee.

00:52:14I say, did you, uh, make it yourself?

00:52:16Look, you made a bet about wine.

00:52:18Oh, I make a lot of bets, dear girl.

00:52:21In fact, if I, uh, I put my mind to it, I bet I could take you out to dinner.

00:52:24Oh, you don't.

00:52:25Just a joke, you understand.

00:52:27Look, this is very, very important. Do you understand?

00:52:31Very, very, very important.

00:52:34No, first one, very, too, no.

00:52:36She only said very, very, and you said very, very, very...

00:52:40Very, very, very...

00:52:40Please!

00:52:42Oh, God.

00:52:42Ludo, come on.

00:52:43Ludo.

00:52:44Now.

00:52:45No, no, no, no.

00:52:46You made a bet about the Saint-Emilion.

00:52:48You lie.

00:52:49I rather believe I did.

00:52:50With who?

00:52:52With whom, dear girl?

00:52:54Really, all right, with whom?

00:52:58I've forgotten.

00:53:01Will you concentrate and try to remember?

00:53:03Please!

00:53:13Here we are.

00:53:14Blessed Saint-Emilion.

00:53:16May God bless all who drink him.

00:53:19Especially with my name on the bottom of the label.

00:53:23You know, I've been thinking it might be fun, after we've tasted it, to compare notes with the others who've

00:53:28been down here tonight.

00:53:29Yeah, of course.

00:53:30I don't think I've met any of these people.

00:53:32Well, we can soon remedy that.

00:53:35Now.

00:53:36Now, then.

00:53:37Let's give it a little oxygen, shall we?

00:53:40Oh, yes.

00:53:43That's all right.

00:53:44A little decanting.

00:53:53Oh.

00:53:55Now.

00:53:56Do you think you could carry on the camping stand?

00:53:59Well, of course.

00:54:00You don't think we treat California's finest with any less respect, do you?

00:54:03Touché, my boy.

00:54:04Very palpably.

00:54:05Touché.

00:54:09Hello.

00:54:10Yes, speaking.

00:54:12What is it?

00:54:15Oh, I see.

00:54:16Yes, thank you.

00:54:18Ben, I'm sorry.

00:54:20There's a call come through upstairs from the States for me about why they have to pick this day.

00:54:25Well, now, I'll be as quick as I can.

00:54:27Will you be all right down here?

00:54:28Just worry about your wine, Sir Peter.

00:54:30I'll be fine as long as I can resist temptation.

00:54:34Back soon.

00:54:43Well, let's go.

00:54:43Whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:54:45Yay!

00:54:46You see he's Verb?

00:54:46Steve?

00:54:47He-he-he-he.

00:54:51Oh, ho.

00:54:53Hey!

00:54:54Oh, ho.

00:54:55Oh, ho.

00:55:47Who is it?

00:55:50Who's there? What happened?

00:56:15Templin.

00:56:32How's that? Which line is the American call supposed for your?

00:56:35American call, sir.

00:56:36Someone rang down to the cellar on the house phone.

00:56:38There's nothing on either of my private lines now, is it?

00:56:40The one in the study, I wonder.

00:56:41I've not heard of any outside calls, sir Peter.

00:56:43I'll make inquiries at once.

00:56:45Thank you very much.

00:57:31Hello.

00:57:33Hello, this is Stan K. I'm down in the basement.

00:57:36There's a dead man here. I need help.

00:57:40Did you hear me?

00:57:43Loud and clear.

00:57:45Clear.

00:57:48Sit here.

00:57:49Sit here.

00:57:49Take care.

00:57:51Sit here.

00:58:15Take care.

00:58:17I care you with.

00:58:19Sit here.

00:58:21What I have.

00:58:30How much can I do here?

00:58:34Good girl.

00:58:36Amen.

00:58:44We were allowed to go as soon as the panda as they would find a encrypt of them and see

00:58:45how good to stop people.

00:59:36Simon, peregrine, knight, and pizza.

00:59:46Alan. Of course! Now, how could I forget?

00:59:49Brighter has me a tenor.

00:59:51Alan who? Alan who?

00:59:53Alan Richards, of course.

00:59:55I know, clever.

00:59:59Have you seen Alan Richards? No.

01:00:03Do you know where you last saw him? No.

01:00:05He's probably with Sir Peter. He said he couldn't leave the party without concluding some deal.

01:00:09Why don't you sit down and have a drink?

01:00:15Oh, Mr. K.

01:00:18What great, beautiful ears you've got.

01:00:25A cute, perfect pitch.

01:00:30Seeking.

01:00:33Finding.

01:00:50I'm respectable now, Mr. K.

01:00:52Hey.

01:00:54Respected.

01:00:58Influential friends.

01:01:02You're not gonna spoil all of that now.

01:01:07Not with those ears of yours.

01:01:14But they won't do you any good now!

01:01:15Oh!

01:01:24Ah!

01:01:52Mr. Bennet, I'm looking for Sir Peter.

01:01:54It's very important. Have you seen him?

01:01:55No, I'm Fred. I haven't seen him.

01:01:58Oh, I think he went into the study.

01:02:59I see. And you have tried that. Yeah. Well, I can't understand it, but thanks anyway.

01:03:07Sir Peter, have you seen Alan Richards?

01:03:09Well, not recently.

01:03:10Do you know where you last saw him?

01:03:11What, at this party?

01:03:13Yes, Foster?

01:03:14It must have been a hoax, Sir Peter. No trace of the call from the state today.

01:03:17You left Stan for nothing, then. I hope the Saint-Amelian is safe.

01:03:20You left Stan where?

01:03:20Well, down in the cellar. He wanted to taste the wine.

01:03:23And he's there alone?

01:03:24Well, he said he'd be okay.

01:03:25Now, I wouldn't have done it if it hadn't been this hoax call I was supposed to get from the

01:03:28United States.

01:03:29Oh, my God.

01:03:35Stan!

01:03:40Stan!

01:03:42Stan!

01:03:44Stan!

01:03:47Stan!

01:03:53Stan!

01:03:55Where are you, Stan?

01:03:59Stan, where are you? Stan?

01:04:00Stan!

01:04:02Oh!

01:04:04Stan!

01:04:07Oh!

01:04:10Stan!

01:04:11Oh, Stan.

01:04:13Oh, Stan.

01:04:15Alan, are you all right?

01:04:18I just hit for the sound. I just hit for the sound.

01:04:21It was the only thing I could do. I just kept hitting until he stopped moving.

01:04:26Is he dead?

01:04:28Well, tell me, have I killed him?

01:04:30No, but pretty near.

01:04:32Thank God. I wanted to.

01:04:36Ten years of hate. For ten years I wanted to kill him.

01:04:38And now I'm glad I didn't.

01:04:41It's finished now, Stan.

01:04:43Yeah. Well, don't you go away now, you hear?

01:04:46I want you close.

01:04:48Lead me.

01:05:27I want you close.
