02:16For the benefit of those of you who can't read, I shall repeat the rules.
02:21You may go as you please for six days and nights, finishing next Saturday at half past
02:29ten o'clock.
02:30No spiked shoes, no hobnail boots, no jostling, and the judge's decision is final.
02:41Five hundred pounds and this belt to the winner, the champion pedestrian of the world.
02:50Any questions?
02:56And good luck to you all.
02:59You're ready?
03:09You poor bastards.
03:25Why are we here, Sarge?
03:27Because the last six-day event of this kind ended in a riot, with the building practically
03:30dismantled piece by piece, not to mention some of the competitors and officials.
03:34Seems peaceful enough.
03:36There are still six days and six nights.
03:38There are still six days and six nights.
03:38And thousands of pounds of stake.
03:40Thousands?
03:41Five hundred pounds first prize, that bloke said.
03:43Ever hear of bookmakers?
03:45Oh, I see.
03:47On the betting.
03:49Thousands of pounds.
03:52Any idea who might win?
03:53Yes.
03:54Who?
03:55One of those two chaps on the inside track.
03:58This is the world championship match, Thackeray.
04:01Introducing, and on your left, Erskine Chadwick, MA, Eton and Balliol, former captain in the
04:07guards, substantial income from the stock exchange, reigning pedestrian champion of England,
04:12amateur and gentleman.
04:15Though he'll still take the money if he wins.
04:18Harvey?
04:19Sir?
04:19Change of flam.
04:21Champagne with a boiled fowl at luncheon.
04:23And claret tonight.
04:25Sir?
04:27Charles Darrell.
04:29Sometime ostler, sometime brickmaker.
04:31The only Englishman fit to share a track with Chadwick.
04:34Easy now, easy!
04:35Step right, boys!
04:36Bear the hooves!
04:39Sam Monk.
04:40Best trainer in the business.
04:43What about the coves on the outside track?
04:45Not championship class, I'm afraid.
04:48This is the pick of the bunch.
04:50O'Flaherty.
04:51The Dublin stag.
04:52Good for 400 miles plus, if he's well lubricated with whiskey inside and out.
04:58Williams, he's strong.
04:59Annoyed a trainer once by winning when he should have lost.
05:02Hence the scar on his face.
05:06Peter Chalk, fought in the Crimea, finds this peaceful by comparison.
05:12The rest you may as well forget about.
05:18Holy Mother of God, who are you?
05:20Francis Mostyn Smith.
05:23Get out the bleeding road, Francis Mostyn Smith.
05:25Dr. Mostyn Smith, to be precise.
05:28That's Andy.
05:29You can fix your own ribs.
05:32I think we are sharing sleeping accommodation, Mr. O'Flaherty.
05:37I'll bet you've never slept with a double barrel before.
05:42And I know the eventual winner.
05:44Chadwick.
05:46Daryl.
05:47Harriet.
05:54There's no one called Harriet among the competitors.
05:57He's not a pedestrian, he's the promoter.
05:59Why is it necessary to have two tracks?
06:02Why do we have two kinds of railway travel?
06:05Why are our public houses divided into two rooms?
06:08Why are some of my tickets a guinea and the rest a shilling?
06:12First class is reserved for the best.
06:14The union jacked upside down, Jacobson.
06:17I want fresh flags by lunchtime.
06:19I'll see to it, Mr. O'Flaherty.
06:20One of my colleagues,
06:21the illustrated London News,
06:22he says that six day races are more carpools
06:25than we had luck on my knees.
06:28Have we finished?
06:29For the moment.
06:31As soon as I've had a word with the bookmaker.
06:33Are you having a bet, Sarge?
06:34Constable Thackeray,
06:35gambling is a social evil,
06:36gnawing in the fiddles of the British Empire.
06:38How's that?
06:39Wait here.
06:44Wait.
06:57Wait.
06:58Wait.
07:00Wait.
07:00Wait.
07:02Wait.
07:03Wait.
07:04Have you got to me?
07:07Hey!
07:12We take the room.
07:13Go Kelly and Bev.
07:13We take the room.
07:13Go new können.call
09:37And our huts have been erected without first removing the residual waste products of animals.
09:43Is that your explanation?
09:45Well, unless our hearts are scrubbed clean, I shall retire from the race and make a full statement to the
09:52press.
09:55Did you hear the essence of the doctor's complaint?
10:00Perhaps you'd make the necessary arrangements by this evening.
10:03I expect so.
10:04I expect so.
10:05Must be dining at the National Sporting Club.
10:07It's one or two items I'd like you to take care of.
10:09Of course.
10:11Excuse me.
10:13Mrs. Darrell, I trust everything is due in satisfaction.
10:18Bullshit!
10:19Bullshit.
10:21Bullshit.
10:22Bullshit.
10:55How is it, sir?
10:56Bullshit.
10:57Terrible.
10:57This isn't athletics.
10:59It's a damn circus.
11:10Blisters.
11:12I'll put a calf splatter on them.
11:14Three hours sleep and you'll be good for the next hundred.
11:19Come on, boy.
11:20Come on, boy.
11:21Get it going.
11:22Keep it going.
11:22Hey.
11:23Hurry up.
11:32Good night, Mr. Jacobson.
11:57This is when the cold gets you.
11:594 in the morning.
12:02Yes.
12:08You're with Chadwick.
12:10Yes.
12:12And you're with, uh, Darrell.
12:15Right.
12:17Hm?
12:20Now, what are we going to do?
12:22I beg your pardon.
12:23They're gonna kill themselves 117 miles the first day. It's bloody lunacy.
12:30Hold your man steady and I'll tell mine the same.
12:34I'm not saying fix the result, just keep it steady early dawns and make it a good finish.
12:41Captain Chadwick wouldn't hear of such a thing.
12:44If your man's late, then that's bad luck. We ain't waiting for him.
12:50Right. Sod you as well.
12:56You won't see us for dust.
13:01Just over 260 pounds on the first day. Could be worse.
13:07What we need is a good, exciting finish.
13:12I don't think you'll get it.
13:14What?
13:15Luke.
13:24What's he trying to do to us?
13:31Easy at running. Why don't you join me? Not at present.
13:35Make 600 by Friday.
13:38Please yourself.
13:45This race has to continue until Saturday night.
13:48Man to man. Fight to a finish.
13:50What with Darryl running like that?
13:52He knows what he's doing.
13:53He's been in more of these wubbles than you've had art dinners, Mr. Ariel.
13:56Excuse me.
14:00I've been in more of these wubbles than you've had art.
14:06Get down there.
14:14Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
14:23Yeah, that's look like old Charlie Darrell, galloping away like that.
14:26Serves him right, bouncing at the cramps.
14:28Bouncy right, Charlie.
14:39Is he going to be all right?
14:41Your half an hour's rest will be fine.
14:42I'm a qualified doctor.
14:43I may be able to help you.
14:51Will you call the race off if Darrell retires?
14:55Retires?
14:56He won't retire.
14:57There are stratagems in this business of pedestrianism.
15:02Need I say more?
15:13Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
15:41Could you find Mr. Herriot, please?
16:04Mrs. Darrell.
16:05Mr. Herriot.
16:07What can I say?
16:09Tell me how he died.
16:11There'll be a post-mortem at the mortuary this afternoon.
16:15Tetanus poisoning has been mentioned, but it's merely speculation.
16:20The question remains how we rearrange the race.
16:26Rearrange the race?
16:27There's no single competitor who's fit to share the inside track with you.
16:31I agree.
16:32But if, as the reigning champion, you are prepared to take on all commers.
16:39Mr. Herriot, are you seriously suggesting that I should appear on a track with the drunks and halfwits out there
16:45at the moment?
16:46Clowns and criminals, Mr. Herriot suggests a compensating sporting gesture from our side.
16:53Fifty pounds.
16:56Make it a hundred.
16:59Mrs. Darrell.
17:01Cora.
17:02What was that monk thinking about letting him move barefoot on that filthy floor?
17:07You could ask him when he sobers up.
17:14I shall sue that man for wicked negligence.
17:19And I shall sue you.
17:21There are hundreds of witnesses to the filth of the building.
17:25If the law allows it, I shall prove you responsible.
17:52There are hundreds of witnesses to the filth of the building.
17:58Detective branch.
17:59Police.
18:00In the interests of accuracy, you ought to put murdered.
18:05Murdered?
18:11Tell me about Charles Darrell.
18:14First class distance runner.
18:16Trained hard.
18:18Looked a dead...
18:20We looked a sir when I saw him at Hackney Wick.
18:23Best trainer in England.
18:25Sam Monk.
18:26In the lead at the end of the first day.
18:28Yes.
18:29Mrs. Darrell pays him a visit in the afternoon.
18:32She smiles nicely at her husband.
18:35What else does she do?
18:37She looked at the accommodation.
18:40You showed her round?
18:41No.
18:41The trainer.
18:42Sam Monk.
18:44Right.
18:45Jacobson!
18:47Yes.
18:48They were in there about five minutes.
18:55Moving on.
18:56End of the first day.
18:59Darrell in trouble, he says here in the paper.
19:00Blisters on his feet.
19:01He took his shoes off.
19:03Retires to his tent at 1 a.m.
19:04Yes.
19:06Starts again at?
19:07Just after four.
19:09Subsequently collapses and dies.
19:12Everyone asleep now?
19:13Oh no.
19:16Dr. Mostyn Smith.
19:17He only rests for half an hour at a time during the night.
19:21He says he walks better alone.
19:24How long since you pounded the beak, Constable?
19:26Three years, Sarge.
19:28Be a nice change for you.
19:34Constable Factory.
19:36Dr. Francis Mostyn Smith.
19:38Good morning.
19:39Good morning, Officer.
19:40It's concerning the late Mr. Darrell.
19:43You were with him when he died.
19:45Yes.
19:46Did he say anything?
19:48Any pertinent statements?
19:50Mostly exclamations of pain.
19:52Nod fragments.
19:53Never happened to me before.
19:55What's happened to me?
19:59Never happened to me before.
20:02Are you keeping this up for long?
20:04Until half past ten on Saturday night.
20:14Name Monk?
20:16Yes.
20:17Known him long, Charles Darrell?
20:19Two years off and on.
20:21Good partnership?
20:23The best.
20:24If you've won this, makes no trouble.
20:26He was limping at the end of the first day.
20:28It's just blisters I had him fixed.
20:30Tuesday morning, one o'clock.
20:32Comes in here to sleep.
20:33Did he eat anything, drink anything?
20:35No.
20:36All he needed was sleep.
20:38And you?
20:40I passed the time till four.
20:43Here?
20:44No.
20:46Finsbury Park with a friend.
20:48Lady?
20:50Leave her name out of it.
20:52For now.
20:54So you come back here for the start of the race.
20:57Did you give Darrell anything to drink?
21:01I give him a bracer.
21:03What's in it?
21:04Sugar.
21:06Brandy.
21:07Licorice.
21:08What else?
21:09That's all.
21:10What else?
21:13Stimulants.
21:14We're not green, Monk.
21:15Yes.
21:17What sort?
21:19I give him a crystal.
21:21Some chemical.
21:22What chemical?
21:23The usual.
21:25Strychnine.
21:26Ivan's upper man.
21:27Wonderful.
21:29You're in trouble, Monk.
21:31This could be manslaughter.
21:32At least.
21:33You can't nail a man for tetanus.
21:35The body of your champion was opened up this afternoon.
21:37It contained massive amounts of strychnine.
21:43Does this investigation mean I've got to cancel the race?
21:45Cancel?
21:46Whatever for.
21:46Keep it going.
21:47Everybody's here.
21:48Might ask you to extend it into the second week if I haven't finished.
21:51Morning.
21:51Morning.
21:53Morning.
21:58Morning.
22:14Morning.
22:14Morning.
22:16Morning.
22:18Morning.
22:19Morning.
22:20Morning.
22:22Morning.
22:24Morning.
22:24Morning.
22:25Morning.
22:25Morning.
22:26Morning.
22:34They're flocking in twice as money as yesterday.
22:37Good.
22:37They just want to see who's next.
22:39Never underestimate intelligence.
22:41Public, Wally.
22:42Mind you.
22:50Paying them an extra hundred to race against us.
22:53Did you know that?
22:53We'll make the bugger earn his money.
22:59Double barrel.
23:00That's who to watch.
23:01He'll not win.
23:01Scares us to death about tetanus.
23:03Chokes us to death with carbolic.
23:05Are you saying he don't jally down?
23:06All I'm saying is that he's a doctor and doctors can get hold of strychnine.
23:10On the contrary.
23:11Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
23:13I didn't know you were a religious man.
23:16First monk told the truth about the chemist shop.
23:19He obtained a small quantity of strychnine last Friday.
23:22He signed for it.
23:23Found the rest of it in his lodgings.
23:26Conclusion?
23:26No, he must have got the rest somewhere else.
23:29That bottle of life there was full of the stuff.
23:31Check all chemist shops.
23:33Nice steady job for them.
23:35You picked anything up, Sarge?
23:36Talk to the bookies.
23:37Who stands to win most money?
23:40Captain Chadwick.
23:41He's an officer and a gentleman.
23:42Another question.
23:43Who's so deeply in debt he can't even place a bet on the race?
23:46Me.
23:47Mr Jacobson.
23:49My friend with a bell and the chalk.
23:51Come in.
23:56I'm Mrs. Darrell.
24:00Mr. Herriot said I could collect my husband's personal possessions.
24:04Good afternoon, Mrs. Darrell.
24:07Sergeant Cribb.
24:07This is Constable Thackeray.
24:10Ma'am, we put everything on the bed.
24:24May I ask you a very personal question, Mrs. Darrell?
24:28Of course.
24:30Your husband wasn't suicidal, was he?
24:33No.
24:34They had everything to live for.
24:36Successful career, happy marriage, a fortune to be made.
24:40No debts?
24:41No debts.
24:43You were both very happy.
24:45Yes, we were both very happy.
24:49May I go now?
24:51Thank you for answering my questions, Mrs. Darrell.
24:56We may call on you to ask a few more.
25:01With your permission.
25:05Tomorrow?
25:07If you say so, Sergeant.
25:09I don't know why you don't just arrest Sam Monk and have done with it.
25:12But then I suppose you know best.
25:15I suppose so.
25:25Do I know best constable?
25:27Yes, Sergeant.
25:39Wake up, you bastard!
25:42Sam Monk, they put him in there.
25:45Can't mix a drink proper, kills one of the best pastmen ever to put on a shoe,
25:48and that's his reward.
25:49Hold, hold to himself.
25:56Hey.
25:57It's all right not to snow tonight, eh?
26:16Oh, farty!
26:17Quiet, quiet, quiet!
26:19It's my breakfast time, you're getting out of bed time.
26:38What day is it?
26:40Thursday, you're welcome to join me in some herbal breakfasts.
26:50Thursday.
26:53I think I shall have a wash today.
26:56Put something on your feet.
27:07It's like being at home with Maura.
27:11It's like being at home with Maura.
27:14It's like being at home with Maura.
27:34Oh, hand me down, let's do it.
27:38Oh, hand me down, me petticoat.
27:46For a mark to the linen heart.
28:07Mr Jacobson, there's an unholy smell of gas coming from that end hut.
28:11The end hut's empty in any case.
28:13No, it ain't.
28:16I assume nobody's touched anything?
28:18Nothing.
28:19I informed the constable on duty, Dr. Mostyn Smith confirmed that Monk was dead.
28:23Ah, he's been kept busy, Dr. Mostyn Smith.
28:26He told us not to touch the note.
28:30Note?
28:35This is to show how sorry I am I did not mean him to die, Samuel Monk.
28:39Thank you, Mr Jacobson, if you'd like to leave us now.
28:50Suicide.
28:51In it's half.
28:53Explain why, constable.
28:56Monk kills Darrell, then commits suicide out of remorse.
29:01No pencil.
29:02No bump on the back of his head.
29:06You mean someone killed him?
29:08I find the atmosphere rather oppressive in here.
29:10Time for some fresh air, don't you think?
29:21You visited the hall in the afternoon.
29:23You inspected Mr Darrell's accommodation with Mr Monk.
29:27Yes.
29:27And Monday evening?
29:28I dined out with friends.
29:30Who were these friends?
29:31The Derby.
29:33Address?
29:36Holly House, Gittins Lane.
29:38And you returned back here when?
29:40About midnight.
29:42And then?
29:43Nothing.
29:45I have information that you received a caller after you got back.
29:48Probably about one o'clock.
29:50Early Tuesday morning, in fact.
29:54This is unfair.
29:56You denied that a man came here that night?
29:58I have nothing to answer to these impertinent questions.
30:03I would like you to leave this house.
30:10Medical evidence confirms.
30:13Monk was bashed on the head.
30:14Therefore, two murders.
30:19Name your suspects, Thackeray.
30:22Jacobson.
30:23Motive?
30:24He's heavily in debt.
30:26I reckon he could have laid a large bet off the course on Chadwick.
30:30He gets worried when Darrell takes the early lead,
30:33so he fakes a suicide to implicate Monk.
30:38Next.
30:40Chadwick.
30:41And or his trainer, Harvey.
30:45Chadwick stands to make a lot of money.
30:47Darrell's going well.
30:49Honour of the regiment at stake.
30:51Any more?
30:53Ariat.
30:55It's just a feeling, really, Sarge.
30:58Suppose he backed Chadwick to cover his losses on the promotion.
31:02Oh, it's a bit fanciful, but...
31:05Any other nominations?
31:07Outsiders, the rest.
31:09Any of the peds.
31:11Or might have some side bet that involves getting rid of Darrell from the race.
31:18Dr. Mostyn Smith.
31:20Really?
31:21He's got those theories about an herbal diet, so he needs a good result.
31:26It's a funny thing, that he's always around when people die.
31:30A crank, in other words.
31:32Mrs. Darrell?
31:34Yes.
31:35I don't exactly know how or why.
31:38Positions at the end of the fourth day.
31:41First, Captain Erskine Chadwick.
31:43Second, Fergus O'Flaherty.
31:45Third, Peter Chalk.
31:47George Williams.
31:48Francis Mostyn Smith.
31:50Two days to go.
31:53I think it could be a very exciting finish.
32:13O'Flaherty.
32:17O'Flaherty.
32:22If you don't leave me alone, I'll strangle you, you little bugger.
32:27I'm sorry.
32:28Still, you bloody should be.
32:42What time is it?
32:43Quarter to four, and your life is in danger.
32:46I know.
32:47It starts at the feet and works upwards.
32:49Can't you see it?
32:51Somebody requires Captain Chadwick to win the race.
32:55Darrell had to be stopped.
32:56Now you're second, only four miles behind, so you have to be stopped.
33:01So I'm next for the strychnine.
33:05Well, let me tell you, my little double-barred friend.
33:09When I feel the spasms coming on, it'll be a mercy and a blessed relief.
33:16Because I'll be free forever from you and your bloody safety precautions.
33:20Don't worry.
33:21I'll keep an eye on you.
33:24Oh, Gordon, having me strength.
33:43What time does Captain Chadwick take his lunch break?
33:46Noon for about 20 minutes.
33:47Well, my governor would like to ask him a few questions.
33:50He's not like the rest of them, you know.
33:52Perhaps that's why he wants to ask him some questions.
33:57Fact is, Captain Chadwick, I need your help.
33:59Now, you're a man of education.
34:01Anything untoward happen in the arena, you're going to spot it.
34:04Am I right, sir?
34:06Now, had you ever run against Darrell before?
34:10Never.
34:11There's no arrangement between you and Darrell or between your trainers as to how the race
34:15should be run.
34:20Sergeant, I have no need of prior arrangements with pedestrians who challenge me.
34:24One personal question, sir.
34:26Well, I assume you've staked some money on the result.
34:29Now, if you win the race tomorrow night, apart from the £500 prize money, how much do you
34:35collect, sir?
34:37I really don't see how that affects your investigations.
34:42However, the answer is £11,000.
34:50I went to see those friends of Mrs. Darrell's.
34:52The Derbys?
34:53They didn't have dinner with her on Monday night.
34:56They haven't seen her for a month or more.
34:59So she could have sneaked back here, laced that bottle with the strychnine.
35:05I had a word with Chadwick.
35:07He stands to win £11,000.
35:10£11,000?
35:11So he bumps off Darrell because he's a head, a monk, to make it look as though a monk killed
35:16Darrell.
35:19What's that?
35:31The fluttery's collapsed.
35:33The fluttery?
35:34That doesn't make any sense.
35:39Crushed war, nutshells.
35:41Eldest streak in the business.
35:42I understand you need my assistance.
35:43You've been novel.
35:44We don't need you, you crazy dumb and bad lunatic.
35:47Bucket of water, I think.
35:49Why does he call you a lunatic?
35:50He's the one that's always wandering round in the middle of the night.
35:53He's the one with the cupboard full of bottles and God knows what else.
35:55Is this true?
36:00Tell me about these.
36:01You are looking at more than 50 healthful foods and drinks of my own concoction.
36:04Before last August, I had not walked more than five miles at one stretch in my entire life.
36:09This week, with the help of these scientifically prepared compounds...
36:12You plan to walk 500 miles and then put these on the market, complete with an advertisement
36:15showing yourself in your running costume?
36:16Yes.
36:17You'd better get back on the track.
36:18Don't you need my help?
36:20Keep him away from me or I kill him!
36:22You'll need to check your compounds, with your permission.
36:24You have my permission.
36:27You've got any spare boots?
36:28Yeah.
36:29I felt so good as good as you.
36:30But you'll not catch Chadwick?
36:32No, no.
36:33I had a chance, you know.
36:34I was beginning to crack up.
36:36Not used to mixing it with the lads.
36:38It's stale.
36:47Doing well?
36:49Yes, all things considered.
36:51Still worried about Monday.
36:53Who put that strychnine in the bottle?
36:57Monday evening you weren't here?
36:59No.
37:01No, I dined at the sporting club.
37:03Mr Jacobson was in charge down here.
37:06Erasements for tomorrow.
37:07Races finish at half past ten?
37:09Yes.
37:09We fire a gun.
37:11Followed by speeches and presentation of prizes for the survivors?
37:17Yes.
37:20Look forward to it.
37:40Come on, get me there.
37:43Hey, Clarity.
37:45What do you want?
37:46Get out.
37:47Chadwick.
37:58Hey!
38:14What is it then?
38:16An assault charge?
38:17Could be double murder.
38:19Come off it.
38:21I fixed the Irishman's boots, but that don't make me a killer.
38:24Even with 11,000 pounds at stake?
38:27He doesn't need the money.
38:32It's just they were roughing him up.
38:35Elbow in the ribs, kicking his shins and ankles.
38:38The captain fights hard, but he doesn't fight dirty.
38:41So you thought you'd give them a taste of their own medicine?
38:43Yes.
38:45Shouldn't have done it.
38:47I'm glad I did.
38:49So who did this?
38:51Some of them are punters, probably.
38:53Didn't see their faces.
38:56Must have backed the Irishman.
39:02I don't blame them.
39:04Money.
39:05It's a ruination of sport.
39:27God damn it.
40:00Ladies and gentlemen,
40:03the World Pedestrian Championship
40:06is now in its last half-hour.
40:16Hear that, Thackeray? The last half-hour.
40:19Fulsating excitement swept through the crowded arena.
40:23Yes, sir.
40:28Come down here!
40:31He wants us.
40:33Ridiculous. I'm finished for the day.
40:40About a thousand pounds.
40:42In banknotes?
40:43Yes, banknotes.
40:44In envelopes for the winners.
40:46You left the safe open with a thousand pounds inside?
40:49Just while I made the half-an-hour announcement.
40:54Walter Jacobson was in here.
40:56You still got men on all the doors?
40:58Yes.
40:59Double-check.
41:01Nobody leaves this building.
41:08Look, if there's no prize money,
41:10this lot will tear me limb from limb.
41:12That should draw a good crowd.
41:17Where's old Double-Bad?
41:19I said something about going to get changed.
41:21Getting changed?
41:22Go!
41:25Go!
41:27Go!
41:28Go!
41:30Go!
41:31Herbal compounds.
41:33O'Floherty!
41:34Herbal compounds!
41:41He can't get out. I've doubled the strength on all the doors.
41:44Right, you take the upstairs and I'll take the downstairs.
42:16Jesus, another fashion show.
42:19Fast the colours for the last ten minutes.
42:21Made it in the water.
42:48Fetch consular Thackeray and tell him to follow me.
43:13One minute to go!
43:15Let's get the nobbins rolling in!
43:26Constable, that way. Hawkins, come with me.
43:31Yeah, Hawkins!
43:40Oi!
44:04Jacobson!
44:35We always shut the gates at tenant lock, sir. Management's instructions.
44:51And in third place, Dr. Francis Boyceman Smith.
45:07And in second place, receiving 100 pounds, having covered 537 miles, Fergus O'Flaherty.
45:35And the winner!
45:37The pedestrian champion of the world, having covered 538 miles, receives 500 pounds.
45:52And the silver belt, Captain Erskine Chadwick!
46:19Well, I think we learned our silver treat.
46:32Well, all's well that ends well.
46:34Yes.
46:37When you finish your drink, I'd like you to accompany me to Islington Police Station.
46:41Whatever for?
46:42It's the normal procedure.
46:45Our friend's in safe hands.
46:46Good.
46:48Mr. Harry is just about to tell us his story.
46:50What story?
46:52Shall I tell it?
46:53Well, I think you all two have no idea what you're talking about.
46:55Right.
46:56You're setting up your world championship.
46:57You take a trip to Hackney, check on Daryl's form.
47:00Cora Daryl flashes her pretty eyes at you, tells you her sad story, misunderstood, neglected wife.
47:05You take her out, she wins your sympathy, and you make your mistake.
47:09What mistake?
47:10You think she's looking for another husband, you decide you want to marry her.
47:14And all she's looking for is a man.
47:16Pass away the long winter evenings.
47:18Anybody will do, if he's got a few bob in his pocket.
47:21She told you that?
47:22Jacobson.
47:24He had his eye on you.
47:25You're not much good as a philanderer, too obvious.
47:28We know where you got the strychnine.
47:33Damn you!
47:34When murder was suspected, you decided to provide us with a culprit.
47:37Persuaded Sam Monkey must have added too much strychnine to Charles Daryl's tonic.
47:41Told him some cock and bull story about legal responsibility.
47:44Made him write a note.
47:45Worded it to sound like suicide.
47:49I thought that would settle the business.
47:51And all the time Cora Daryl wanted to keep her husband.
47:55You didn't realise that until you'd killed him.
48:00Do you mind if I get changed before we go?
48:05I feel a bit conspicuous in this lot.
48:08Understandable.
48:12Just come in here a moment.
48:15See that Mr Herriot does nothing silly?
48:29How did you get Jacobson to talk, Sarge?
48:31I didn't.
48:32Oh, I made that up.
48:34You said you knew where he got the strychnine from.
48:37I really don't know what's written on these.
48:39I haven't looked.
48:39Well, how did you know then?
48:41We all thought it was something to do with the race.
48:43But it wasn't.
48:44It was to do with Cora Daryl.
48:46And somebody clever enough to persuade Monk to write that note.
48:49But no evidence.
48:51That's why I went for the confession.
48:53The bookies are packing up.
48:54The race is over.
48:56Another reason why we had to wait for the race to finish.
48:58Look at that.
48:59Ten quid on Chadwick.
49:00I thought you didn't bet.
49:02I thought you didn't approve.
49:03I don't.
49:04But my wife does.
49:05So money.
49:06I get ten percent as the runner.
49:11Son.
49:12There we are.
49:43Bye.
49:44Bye.
49:54Bye.
49:56Bye.
49:59Bye.
50:01Thanks a minute.
50:01Bye.
50:04Bye.
50:05Bye.
