00:06Would you like some more, Kedri?
00:08No, thank you.
00:12Seems a rather interesting letter.
00:15It's from my Aunty Pad.
00:16Oh, the one who runs a B&B?
00:18No. Soon to be a four-star family hotel.
00:22Oh.
00:23And she's invited us to the Grand Gala reopening.
00:27Really?
00:30An evening of champagne and sophistication with the theme of the 1920s.
00:34Oh, it sounds wonderful.
00:36I can't wait to see this place.
00:39Then she goes on to say,
00:40can we help with the painting, decorating and getting the place ship-shape?
00:44Well, she's asking rather a lot.
00:47She has an inspector coming from the Anderson's Hotel Guide.
00:50Oh, sorry, what's that?
00:52An annual survey of the most prestigious hotels in Britain.
00:56She really is pushing the boat out.
01:01Yes?
01:03Oh, no, no, nothing.
01:05Oh.
01:06Oh, gosh.
01:08Right.
01:08Um, well, thank you for the most delicious Kedjari.
01:14Hm.
01:17Have a good day.
01:18You too.
01:30How do you fancy a trip to the seaside?
01:34Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
01:58no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
02:01no.
02:25So is it still the same as you remember?
02:28It is. Every summer, as a child, I come down here and play with all the local children on the
02:34beach.
02:35Did you used to play pirates?
02:37Yes. They were the pirates. I was the customs man who caught.
02:42Of course. Shame we have so much work to do, though. If only we had an army of helpers.
02:50Surprise!
02:52What the...? How did...?
02:55Well, you said your Auntie Pat needed some help. I thought it would be a nice surprise for you.
03:01Well, it's definitely a surprise.
03:03We're very keen to get to work, Inspector, so you can have more time with your wife.
03:08Oh, this place is amazing. I've seen pictures of the seaside, but I never knew the sand was so warm
03:13and so soft.
03:14Brenda, you've never actually been to the seaside before.
03:18Well, my mum died when I was seven. We never got to go on holidays.
03:22Ahoy there, landlubbers!
03:25Oh-ho! Auntie Pat!
03:30Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello!
03:33You must be Isabel.
03:35Oh, how lovely. How lovely to put a face to that melodious voice.
03:40Lovely to meet you.
03:41Oh, Auntie Pat, how are you?
03:44Marvellous, darling. But what's happened to you, your skin and bone?
03:47Aren't you feeding him?
03:48Oh, I do give him three square mils a day.
03:51I'm only teasing.
03:52Mind you, actually, you have to keep your eye on this one around food.
03:56When he was a boy, he used to sneak into the kitchen searching for the chocolate profiteroles.
04:02We used to call him Edgar the Chocolate Heffalump.
04:06Don't tell me.
04:07Father Brown.
04:08And Sergeant Goodfellow. And, um, Brenda.
04:12Hi.
04:12It's nice to meet you. We're here to help in any way that we can.
04:15Oh, you know, this is manor. Manor from heaven.
04:19Because there is just so much that has to be done.
04:23I see you've been picking wild crabs.
04:25Yes, well, they make very nice, er, table decorations, right?
04:29Let us get you all checked in.
04:31Follow me!
04:35Come along, you chocolate heffalump.
04:45Raymond?
04:47Raymond?
04:48Raymond?
04:51Raymond!
04:51Raymond!
04:52Yes, dear, that is my name.
04:54Thank you for reminding me.
04:56When are you going to hang this picture up?
04:57I am rather busy trying to organise a gala dinner.
05:01If you didn't spend so much time arguing, we might actually be ready by now.
05:03Mrs. Parkinson!
05:06Oh, my word! Who is this?
05:09Well, here's Edgar.
05:11The only member of my family I've never been tempted to strangle.
05:16May I introduce Raymond and Cynthia?
05:18My deputy managers who have worked here for 30 years.
05:21In fact, they met and married here.
05:24Oh, isn't that nice?
05:29Yes, so, erm, I think we have a double room with a sea view.
05:33Oh, yes, I'll sort that.
05:35So, tonight, we are having a rehearsal of the 1920s themed dinner.
05:39We are testing a few of the recipes we're serving tomorrow,
05:43but there's so much work to do, so many jobs, window cleaning, gardening.
05:48I could help with that.
05:50And I'm a dab hand with a chamois leather.
05:52Oh.
05:53Well, come along.
05:54Yes.
05:56Oh, Raymond?
05:58What is all this mess?
06:00Mr. Crabtree, he won't do any more work until he's been fully paid.
06:03Fine.
06:04Well, we'll just put wallpapering on the list of things to do.
06:08Ahem.
06:09Yes, put those flowers in water before they wilt.
06:12Yes, Mrs. Parley.
06:14And for me.
06:20She's such a character, Aunty Pat.
06:22Yeah.
06:22No-one would argue with that.
06:25Although, did she seem a bit peaky?
06:27Peaky?
06:28What do you mean?
06:29The way she was leaning on reception.
06:31Just a bit fragile.
06:33Oh.
06:34Aunty Pat's as fragile as a Sherman tank.
06:37If you say so.
06:39And I am sorry if my surprise turned out to be more of a shock.
06:44Yes.
06:45What's supposed to be our honeymoon, not a parish outing.
06:48I know.
06:49But we will spend more time together.
06:52Once we've got through all our jobs.
06:59Do you think I should wear these earrings tonight?
07:01Yes.
07:02You didn't even look at them.
07:02Because I'm busy organizing tonight's dinner, tomorrow night's garden room.
07:07We've got an inspector coming.
07:08Well, well, well.
07:10This place hasn't changed a bit.
07:13It's practically a museum.
07:16Max Bishop.
07:19Raymond.
07:20Cynthia.
07:22How are you?
07:23We're fine.
07:25We're good, actually.
07:27Mrs. Parkinson has made us deputy manager.
07:30Oh.
07:31Well.
07:32That's something, I suppose.
07:34Now, can you book me into the Grand Suite for three days?
07:38Sorry, Max.
07:39We're not open until next week.
07:42We've just got friends and family staying.
07:44I worked here for seven years.
07:46I think that makes me family.
07:48Well, Father, there was some very enthusiastic pruning.
07:52Sharp shears.
07:53I'm sure that the hydrangeas will grow back again.
07:57What are you doing here?
08:00I'm just checking into your most expensive room.
08:15Oh! Edgar, don't you look smart.
08:18Yes, do come and sit down.
08:21Now then, Aunty Pat.
08:24Are you all right?
08:26Yes.
08:28Yes, I'm always all right.
08:29It's the rest of the world that's all wrong.
08:32I thought as much.
08:33Glad to hear it.
08:36Shall I show the guests in, Mrs. Parkinson?
08:38Oh, yes, yes.
08:39Come one, come all.
08:42Oh.
08:45Straight slow.
08:47Where would you like me to sit?
08:49Just on the other side of Edgar.
08:51And then we can fight over him.
08:53Please, everybody else, just sit wherever you like.
08:57That is an awful lot of cutlery, which is normally a good sign.
09:00Well, we are serving a three-course dinner, followed by petit fours and lots of profiteroles.
09:09Oh! Good news for you, Mr. Effelope.
09:11Thank you, Miss Palmer.
09:14Father Brown?
09:15Champagne?
09:17Well, that is a very easy question to answer.
09:21Yes, please.
09:23Oh!
09:24Quickly!
09:25Quickly!
09:26Get out of practice, Raymond.
09:30Max.
09:31I had a feeling that you might join us.
09:35Please, make yourself comfortable.
09:38Over there.
09:46Would you like me to serve?
09:47Yes.
09:48Of course.
09:50No, no, no, dear.
09:52Silver service.
09:54And the table.
09:58Madame et Monsieur.
10:02The Palace Hotel has stood on this site for an eye on 70 years, constantly battled by the cruel sea.
10:10But the sea yields up treasure, and you will taste that treasure in our bouillie bays.
10:18Bon appetit.
10:19Please do start.
10:20I can't bear cold food.
10:22Right.
10:33It's...
10:34How is it for you, Father?
10:37It tastes very much of the sea.
10:41It's extremely salty.
10:43What?
10:44But I...
10:46I can't think why it would be.
10:47I was terribly careful with the seasoning.
10:51I mean...
10:54None for me.
11:00This is all you're doing, isn't it?
11:02That's a very serious accusation.
11:05Would you care to repeat it?
11:08Actually, I...
11:09I might have put too much salt in.
11:11Ah, yes.
11:12Too many cooks.
11:13Well, let's hope you get things sorted.
11:16Before the inspector gets here.
11:19How do you know about that?
11:20Oh, when you move in the circles I move in, you hear things and, er...
11:25Yes, Mr. Wendell.
11:27Remember your old work colleague, Max Bishop?
11:30He's been seen.
11:32Wandering round town.
11:34Yes.
11:35I know.
11:36Just remember.
11:38I got rid of you once before.
11:41And I can get rid of you again.
11:47Mrs. Parkinson.
11:49Nice to see you.
11:51Sergeant Oldham.
11:52How are Julia and the little ones?
11:55Not so little now, I imagine.
11:57We're all very well, thank you.
12:00Good.
12:02Well, I've had quite enough fun for one evening.
12:05And I'll see you all tomorrow.
12:07Good luck.
12:09You're going to need it.
12:16Auntie Pat.
12:17No, I should never have risen to the bait.
12:21I'm...
12:22I'm, er...
12:23I'm going to leave you now in the capable hands of Cynthia and Raymond.
12:28Good night.
12:43I do hope Auntie Pat's all right.
12:46That man really seemed to upset her.
12:49Well, she's a tough old thing.
12:52She certainly gives as good as she gets.
12:54She does.
12:57What's that?
12:59It's a bucket.
13:01Yeah.
13:03Underneath it.
13:27She's a good one.
13:29She's a good one.
13:33Thank you, Father.
13:35What a terrible way for a man to meet his maker.
13:39Indeed.
13:40I suspect he was hit over the head,
13:41the blunt object, before being buried as the tide came in.
13:45That is my hypothesis.
13:48What about that dark stain on his forehead?
13:50Any idea what that is?
13:52Inspector, I'm sure you do a marvellous job
13:55in your leafy little village, but...
13:57you leave things to us, Ian.
13:58Enjoy your holiday.
14:10Any idea who killed him?
14:13Technically, that would be the sea,
14:15which also did a very good job
14:17of washing away most of the evidence.
14:29Hello.
14:30What's going on?
14:32I'm afraid one of your guests has been murdered, Mrs Wendell.
14:35No, Mr Bishop.
14:38Max!
14:41Sergeant Oldham?
14:43Yes, Father.
14:44There's a champagne bottle in this bin.
14:47And?
14:47It's unopened.
14:49It's bloodstained.
14:50And it comes from the Palace Hotel.
14:55Ladies and gentlemen,
14:57thank you for your cooperation thus far.
15:00We believe the murder took place between 8 o'clock,
15:03when Mr Bishop was dining here,
15:05and midnight, when the tide was high.
15:07I need to know all of your movements after 8.
15:12Well, I was serving dinner to these good people here,
15:15and then, at about 9 o'clock,
15:18I locked up and went briefly outside to inspect the grounds.
15:21Can anyone corroborate your version of events?
15:23Yes, I can.
15:25I was with him the whole time.
15:27Every single second?
15:29Mostly.
15:30We worked together.
15:32We went outside together.
15:33Then we went to bed just after 10.
15:3610.
15:37Mrs Parkinson!
15:38What?
15:39Yes?
15:41Where did you go
15:42after you stormed out of the restaurant?
15:44Stormed?
15:45I went upstairs
15:47to make a list
15:48of all the jobs that needed doing
15:50before today's inspection.
15:52So now, can we please get a move on?
15:55Auntie Pat.
15:56Well, it doesn't look good if you lose your temper.
15:59Oh.
16:00Right.
16:01Patricia Parkinson!
16:02I'm arresting you for the murder of Max Bishop.
16:05On what grounds?
16:06There were two sets of fingerprints on the murder weapon.
16:08A bottle of champagne,
16:10Mr Bishop himself,
16:11and Mrs Parkinson's.
16:13Well, yes, it was my champagne,
16:15but it came from my cellar.
16:18We are not obliged to say anything,
16:19but anything you say may be given in evidence.
16:21This way, please.
16:23This is ridiculous!
16:24I don't think they'd be happy
16:25with a relative barging into the station.
16:27Although they might allow a visit from a priest.
16:34Tell me about Mr Bishop.
16:36Well, 30 years ago, I sacked him.
16:39He worked at the hotel as a bellboy,
16:42and I found he was stealing from the guest's room.
16:46You know, in the hotel industry.
16:49That's a mortal sin.
16:51So, a man who bears a grudge on you
16:54walks in
16:56when the hotel is in trouble.
17:00Things aren't going very well, are they?
17:04No.
17:06No, we are.
17:08We are at rock bottom.
17:12Well, I've taken out loan after loan,
17:14and if things don't improve,
17:17then the bank will take the hotel.
17:19And that's why you invited Anderson's guide to inspect.
17:23Er, well, yes, one last roll of the dice.
17:28Was anyone else upset
17:31in Mr Bishop's reappearance?
17:34Well, I didn't think Raymond was too delighted.
17:37Of course, back in the day,
17:39they were great friends.
17:41Cynthia Raymond and Max.
17:43I did...
17:44I did used to think that Max got in the way a bit.
17:49Were Mr and Mrs Wendell married at that point?
17:52No.
17:53It was only after Max left
17:55that Raymond popped the question.
17:57In fact,
17:59I wonder
18:00if Max didn't come back
18:02not to humiliate me,
18:05but to seduce Cynthia.
18:08Why do you say that?
18:09Well, yesterday,
18:11when I was preparing the buoy bath,
18:14I could hear Max and Raymond arguing.
18:23Oh, Father, you've been a while.
18:25How is she?
18:25Your aunt is bearing up.
18:28Of course she is.
18:29She's as strong as an ox.
18:31She's very keen
18:32that we make this evening a success.
18:34I think it's more important
18:36we solve the murder.
18:37Well, perhaps by doing one,
18:39it will help us do the other.
18:48Right, Mrs Parkinson's left her to do this.
18:51Would you like me to type it up?
18:52No, Raymond.
18:53We actually have to do something.
18:54What time is Mavis getting here?
18:56Mavis left a note.
18:57She's resigned.
18:58Oh, no.
18:59Right, I've managed to sort
19:00those wonky tables out
19:01and we swept all the floors.
19:02Is there anything else
19:03we can do to help?
19:04No.
19:05We're beyond help.
19:06The best thing now
19:08would be to board up
19:09all the doors
19:10and hang a condemned sign outside.
19:12Hello.
19:13How are we getting on?
19:14We're about to give up completely.
19:16What?
19:16Cancelling this evening
19:18and telling Andersons
19:19we're not ready.
19:20You do realise
19:20my aunt has given
19:2150 years of her life
19:22to this place.
19:23Yes,
19:23but she's not here
19:25and it was always her hand
19:27on the tiller
19:27that steered us
19:28through the rocks.
19:30Mrs Parkinson's been
19:31your employer
19:32for 30 years.
19:33I'm sure she hoped
19:35that if she had to step back,
19:37you would step forward.
19:39We also have
19:40a financial difficulty.
19:41She's left a long
19:42ingredients list
19:43and no actual money.
19:44Fine.
19:45I'll go down to the market.
19:48I'll come with you.
19:49And I can service some rooms.
19:51I have worked in hotels before.
19:53I can do some cooking.
19:54Can I be your sous chef?
19:56Of course.
19:57I shall polish the silver.
19:58I will assist.
20:02Am I right in saying
20:03you have worked here
20:05since the 1920s?
20:06Mm-hmm.
20:07You and Cynthia
20:08and Max.
20:11Sorry.
20:12Allow me.
20:16So what did you think
20:18when Max Bishop
20:19turned up again?
20:21Mrs Parkinson's
20:22seems to think
20:22he once had designs
20:23on your wife.
20:27No, of course not.
20:29No?
20:30No.
20:31We were pals.
20:33Back then,
20:34the three of us,
20:34we were the,
20:35well,
20:36they were the happiest
20:36times of my life.
20:37Yes,
20:37Max was sacked for stealing,
20:39but not for stealing.
20:40Not for stealing.
20:41My girlfriend.
20:44You were overheard yesterday
20:45having an argument
20:47with Mr Bishop.
20:48Hmm.
20:49You said,
20:50and I quote,
20:51leave her alone,
20:52please.
20:53Just leave her alone.
20:54Yes,
20:55I did,
20:56but I was not talking
20:57about Cynthia.
20:58No?
21:01When Max arrived,
21:02he said some rather nasty things
21:04about Mrs Parkinson's,
21:05so I let him settle
21:06into his room,
21:07and when he came downstairs,
21:08I told him to stop.
21:09Leave her alone.
21:11What did he say to that?
21:12He told me to face the facts.
21:14The palace hotel is doomed,
21:16and he's the only one
21:17who could save it.
21:19What do you think he meant?
21:22I don't know.
21:23I told him I didn't want to hear it,
21:24and if you'll excuse me,
21:26I need to go and find
21:26some fish forks.
21:30Thank you,
21:30Miss Palmer.
21:31Most helpful.
21:33Whoa.
21:35Who could afford
21:36a room like this?
21:36That is what we are here
21:39to find out.
21:41Mr Bishop claimed
21:43he came here
21:44to save the palace,
21:46and I'm keen
21:47to find out how.
21:50What's this?
21:58Oh.
22:00Plans for the hotel.
22:02Divided into eight flats.
22:05So that's his game.
22:06He's a property developer.
22:10Look.
22:14Meet me at Brandreth Bay,
22:16nine o'clock.
22:18That's the beach
22:19where they found him.
22:21Was he killed
22:23by the person
22:24to whom he said this note?
22:26I should probably make the bed.
22:28The inspector will come in here.
22:30Good idea.
22:37What's this?
22:43Ah, yes.
22:44I know whose ear
22:45that belongs to.
22:51Right, here we are.
22:52Enough fish to start
22:53your own aquarium.
22:54Oh, Edgar,
22:56you save the day.
22:57You always do.
22:58Right, well,
22:59can I suggest
23:00I'll read out the recipe
23:01and allocate jobs as I go?
23:03No, Raymond.
23:04No.
23:05Just no, Raymond.
23:09Would you like to help me
23:10with the windows?
23:12Yes, yes, of course.
23:14Yes.
23:20Are you all right,
23:21Mrs. Wendell?
23:21Yes.
23:22Just a little bit stressed.
23:24We've got this
23:25rather complicated
23:27boo-a-bays to make,
23:28which means
23:28so we have
23:29fish to fill it
23:30and 22 herbs
23:32and spices
23:32and we haven't
23:32even started
23:33the stock yet.
23:34That does seem
23:35a Herculean effort.
23:36Yes, but if we want
23:37to get into
23:38the Anderson's Guide...
23:39You might try
23:40making things
23:40people like to eat.
23:44Oh.
23:46Oh, yes,
23:47you're right.
23:49We could change
23:50the menu.
23:52Oh, fish pie.
23:54Everyone loves
23:55fish pie.
23:56Mrs. Wendell,
23:57may I have a word?
23:59Yes.
24:07I'm sorry, Father,
24:08but I'm really
24:09very busy.
24:10Yes, I can see.
24:13Must put an awful
24:14strain on your marriage.
24:16Marriage?
24:17What's that?
24:19They used to be
24:19married once.
24:21I mean,
24:22I do love Raymond.
24:24It's just we're
24:25married to the hotel.
24:26Well, I noticed
24:27you have separate
24:28rooms.
24:30Well, yes.
24:33Separate lives,
24:34actually.
24:35Was it ever
24:36a happy marriage?
24:37We were happy
24:40before we were
24:41married,
24:42when it was just
24:43the three of us.
24:45Me, Raymond,
24:46and Max.
24:48Ah, yes.
24:50Mr. Bishop.
24:52Did you notice
24:54yesterday
24:55he was last
24:57into dinner
24:57because I believe
25:00he was in the kitchen
25:01over-salting
25:03the bouillabaisse?
25:05I think so.
25:08But you took
25:10responsibility
25:11for his sabotage,
25:12which seems strange,
25:14unless you felt
25:16in some way
25:16responsible.
25:21I read the papers,
25:22you see.
25:24And I knew
25:25Max
25:25had done
25:26very well
25:26for himself.
25:27So I wrote
25:29and told him
25:30we were in trouble
25:31and was there
25:32any chance
25:33of alone?
25:35But it soon
25:36became clear
25:36he was not
25:37here to help.
25:38He'd just come
25:39to humiliate us.
25:41What did you do
25:42to stop him?
25:44Nothing.
25:45I just tried
25:46to avoid him.
25:49And yet
25:52I found this
25:54by his bed.
26:01All right.
26:05When Raymond
26:06went round
26:06to speak with him,
26:08I sneaked
26:09into his room
26:10to look round.
26:13I imagine
26:14you saw
26:14his plans
26:15to turn
26:16the hotel
26:17into flats.
26:18I did.
26:19And I was just
26:20staring at them,
26:21horrified.
26:23And Max
26:24came in
26:24and grabbed me.
26:26So that must be
26:26when I lost
26:27the earring.
26:28I see.
26:30He said
26:30this place
26:32destroyed him
26:33and now he's
26:34going to destroy
26:34it.
26:36Do you know
26:37he used to steal
26:38from people's rooms?
26:40Only small amounts.
26:42So no one knew.
26:43But Mrs. Parkinson
26:44found out
26:45and she called
26:45the police.
26:48I don't suppose
26:49you remember
26:50the name
26:50of the arresting
26:51officer?
26:56What can I say?
26:57He was a wrongman.
26:59I made sure
26:59he suffered
27:00the full force
27:01of the law.
27:02Except
27:03I've spoken
27:05to Scotland Yard.
27:07Max Bishop
27:07has no criminal
27:08record
27:09whatsoever.
27:10So
27:12you
27:12let him go
27:14but told
27:15everyone
27:15you charged him.
27:17It was a long
27:17time ago.
27:18I don't
27:19exactly recall.
27:20Mr. Bishop
27:21remembered you
27:22vividly.
27:24He asked
27:25after your wife
27:25and children.
27:27I imagine
27:2830 years ago
27:29you had a young
27:31family
27:33and not much
27:34money.
27:39Perhaps we should
27:40talk to his
27:40senior officer
27:41father.
27:41All right.
27:43He did
27:44offer me
27:44a certain
27:44sum.
27:46But believe
27:47me
27:48it was hard
27:49getting by
27:49in five pound
27:50a week.
27:50You took
27:51a bribe
27:51from a
27:52criminal
27:52suspect.
27:54Max said
27:54he'd leave
27:55town
27:55and never
27:56darken our
27:56doors again.
27:57I really
27:57don't see
27:58what the
27:58harm was.
27:59Sergeant
28:00Oldham
28:01many people
28:02would say
28:03that punishment
28:03can be a
28:04valuable
28:05life lesson.
28:06A lesson
28:07you failed
28:08to teach
28:09Max Bishop.
28:11Now
28:14I think
28:15you've had
28:15more than
28:15enough time
28:16to question
28:17my aunt.
28:19Well
28:21that was
28:22the worst
28:22holiday
28:23I've ever
28:23had.
28:25Auntie Pat
28:26we need
28:26to have a
28:26talk.
28:27No I
28:27need to
28:28get back
28:28to the
28:28hotel.
28:29Raymond
28:29and Cynthia
28:30they can't
28:31make a
28:31decision
28:31without me.
28:32I'll
28:33leave you
28:33two to
28:33talk.
28:38Why didn't
28:38you tell
28:39me that
28:39the hotel
28:40was in
28:40difficulty?
28:41It
28:41isn't.
28:42The palace
28:43is a
28:43luxury
28:44ocean
28:45liner.
28:46It just
28:46so happens
28:47that it's
28:47floating in
28:48a sea
28:48of mediocrity.
28:50Yes
28:50and the
28:50suppliers
28:51have told
28:51me they
28:52think it
28:52could be
28:52about to
28:53sink.
28:54Yes
28:55well
28:55things are
28:56a bit
28:57grim but
28:57I believe
28:58that we're
28:59just about
29:00to turn
29:00a corner
29:01and I
29:01realise
29:02that I
29:03have been
29:03saying that
29:04for several
29:04years.
29:05Yes
29:05and you've
29:06been working
29:07yourself
29:0718 hours
29:08a day
29:08now.
29:09Do you
29:09think that
29:09can be
29:09good for
29:10you?
29:10If I
29:11didn't
29:11work
29:12I wouldn't
29:13know what
29:13to do.
29:14Know how
29:15hard it
29:15is to
29:16abandon
29:17a place
29:18that you've
29:18loved and
29:19cherished for
29:19your whole
29:20life for
29:2050 years.
29:22Besides
29:22it means a lot
29:23to you.
29:25What do
29:25you mean?
29:26You know
29:26what I
29:26mean.
29:29Whenever
29:29your parents
29:30used to
29:31have a
29:31bit of
29:32difficulties
29:33then they
29:33got me
29:34to look
29:34after you
29:36at the
29:36palace.
29:37It was
29:38home away
29:39from home.
29:40Auntie Pat
29:41it's not
29:41the palace
29:41I care
29:42about.
29:43It's
29:44just a
29:44pile of
29:44bricks and
29:45mortar
29:45and some
29:46very
29:46comfortable
29:47bedding.
29:49The
29:49woman who
29:50runs it
29:52love her
29:54I'd rather
29:55worry that
29:55she's not
29:56looking after
29:56herself properly.
30:00Well
30:02she's
30:03rather fond
30:04of you.
30:05Edgar
30:07I have
30:08no choice
30:09I just
30:10have to
30:10keep going
30:11so will
30:12you kindly
30:12take me
30:13back to
30:13the luxury
30:14liner before
30:15the management
30:16manage to
30:17sink it.

30:27Oh

30:28magnificent.
30:30Oh

30:31thought about
30:31a career

30:33design?
30:34Oh

30:35thank you
30:35though.
30:36If I
30:36spend one
30:37more moment
30:37in that
30:38kitchen
30:38I think
30:39I'm
30:39going to
30:39melt.
30:40Agreed.
30:41Oh
30:43this is
30:45extraordinary.
30:48it feels
30:49like we've
30:50gone back

30:52to the
30:52glory days

33:52years buffeted of
33:53course by waves and
33:55wind but able to
33:57survive the ravages of
34:00time
34:00Mr. Wendell
34:03people ask
34:04would you spare five
34:05minutes
34:05anyone would build a
34:06hotel
34:07right by the sea
34:09but of course
34:10people like us like
34:11to live on the edge
34:13where the land is
34:14I was intrigued by the
34:15photograph of you both
34:16outside the hotel
34:18in 1953
34:22your hair
34:23was much
34:24greyer then
34:27would I be right in
34:28thinking that you use
34:30hair dye
34:34that is a very
34:35personal question
34:36father
34:37well
34:38yes
34:39but when they found
34:41Mr. Bishop's body
34:44there was a dark
34:45stain on his temple
34:48could that stain
34:50have been from
34:51hair dye
34:52from the person
34:53who buried him
34:59he sent you a note
35:01didn't he
35:01meet me at
35:02Randreth Bay
35:03at nine o'clock
35:05why would you go
35:07what do you think
35:08you're doing

35:11to save the hotel
35:12we're perfectly happy
35:13as we are
35:13Raymond
35:15I'm sorry
35:16if I've upset
35:17everyone
35:20I was angry
35:21at the way
35:21Mrs. Parkinson
35:22treated me
35:23were you perhaps
35:24hoping to turn
35:25back the clock
35:27what do you mean
35:28by that
35:28at first
35:29I thought
35:30Mr. Bishop
35:31was having an affair
35:33with your wife
35:35but no
35:36I suspect
35:38not with her
35:41I don't know
35:42what you're implying
35:44your wife
35:45confirmed
35:46that you have
35:47separate bedrooms
35:49separate lives
35:53and the champagne
35:55would suggest
35:56some sort of
35:57celebration
35:59do you remember
36:00our midnight
36:01picnics
36:01on the beach

36:56his power

37:02control

37:11now you had a
37:12new problem

37:19luckily some
37:20children have been
37:21digging the hole

37:23which was almost
37:24the right size
37:36I did not mean
37:37to kill him
37:39I would be the
37:40last person to
37:40condemn anyone
37:41for falling in love
37:42but in order to
37:44spare people's
37:44feelings
37:46you have been
37:47living your life

38:08course of action
38:09which will in time
38:10bring you peace
38:13you must confess
38:16ask for God's
38:17forgiveness

38:20consequences of

38:46actually Mrs. Parkinson
38:48we decided not
38:50to make bouillabaisse
38:51what we thought
38:53rather than follow
38:54a hundred year old
38:55recipe that we
38:56would go to the
38:57market and see
