01:33Hello?
01:44Hello?
01:46Hello?
01:47Sorry?
01:48Palmer Street Astrology Clairvoyance.
01:50There's no difference in the price.
01:51It's £3 for a half-hour consultation, £5 for an hour.
01:55Oh, not applicable.
01:56It's £40 a day plus expenses.
01:59Oh, you're from eyes.
02:02Oh, thank you for coming.
02:04It's difficult for me to get away at this time of the year.
02:07Oh, um, do take a seat.
02:09Now then, where did I put it?
02:11I had it all ready for you.
02:12Oh, yes.
02:13Here it is.
02:18Do you believe in the occult, Miss Sir?
02:22Standfast.
02:23And the answer is no.
02:25Taurus, perhaps.
02:27You're a Taurus.
02:28An Earth sign.
02:29Bingo.
02:30Is that good?
02:32Feet planted firmly on the ground, only believing in what you can see.
02:35That's why I call my agency eyes.
02:37Ah.
02:38But there is such a thing as the inner eye, Miss Standfast.
02:41We clairvoyants use it to see into the future.
02:48Well, what on earth is it?
02:50A premonition.
02:51It's been haunting me for weeks.
02:53I'm not surprised.
02:55Who is she, this woman?
02:58Me?
03:00You?
03:03Do you know what it means?
03:04Oh, yes.
03:05This place, wherever it is, I'm gonna die there.
03:10It's ridiculous.
03:11I don't expect you to understand, Miss Standfast.
03:13All I expect you to do is to find the place.
03:17All right, suppose it does exist.
03:19It could be anywhere.
03:20Europe, America, Australia, even.
03:22No, no.
03:22It's nearer than that.
03:23Much nearer.
03:24Within 50 miles.
03:25Otherwise, I wouldn't have seen it so clearly.
03:26It could take weeks, months even.
03:28I might never find it.
03:29I don't care how long it takes or how much it costs.
03:32My life is at stake.
03:35No, no.
03:36Take this with you.
03:37You'll know it when you see it.
03:39If I see it.
03:40No, Miss Standfast.
03:42You won't.
03:56We're both after the same thing, aren't we?
04:01So why don't we pool our resources?
04:07I'm offering to cut you in.
04:09Now, I can't say fairer than that, can I?
04:13What is it that we're supposed to be both after, Mr...
04:16Quigley.
04:17Mr Quigley.
04:18Now, don't give me that, love.
04:19I've been in the game too long.
04:20I mean, I'm not fresh out of Noddyville, you know.
04:22I'm not fresh out of anywhere.
04:23Not with that pom.
04:26Oh, this is the latest aftershave.
04:29It cost me four quid.
04:30So are you coming.
04:32Look, love.
04:33This is adult talk.
04:34Why don't you play with your dolls?
04:36She's lost all her dolls.
04:38I play with men now.
04:39You won't find it on your own, you know.
04:41I mean, it's going to be difficult enough for the two of us.
04:43That's why it's going to shorten the wotsits a bit, isn't it?
04:47It would shorten them a great deal more, Mr Quigley,
04:49if I knew what the hell you were talking about.
04:52I don't understand.
04:54I don't understand you, Mrs...
04:56Forbes.
04:57Mrs Forbes.
04:57I mean, I come here in good faith
04:59and you treat me like I'm offering you a part in a strip show.
05:01I wish you were, Mr Quigley.
05:02Then I didn't know what I was turning down.
05:04Okay.
05:05Okay, go it alone.
05:07You won't ask me.
05:08You won't ask me what's it when I get there ahead of you.
05:14This case is going to take a lot of legwork.
05:16Now, yours may be prettier than mine,
05:18but mine are shorter, faster than yours.
05:22And if you want to turn down this chance of a...
05:24of a piggyback ride,
05:27then you're going to be left behind.
05:32I feel like I've just taken an O-level in Serbo-Croat.
05:37Who was that?
06:11You all right?
06:14back off girly unless you want another accident go on what the hell do you want
06:20shut up it's in a car right open it come on
06:34hey hombre
06:37what's happening
06:48you're okay
06:52all this and spanish too it is my lucky day are you all right who was he
06:57I have no idea believe you get mugged in your own car he was going to rob you I
07:02think perhaps it's when we had many such people drugs they will do anything the
07:13handbrake is jammed I don't think you should be driving but I will take you to
07:20where you want to go and on the way we will find perhaps a garage I am Luis de
07:25evolution prudence tempos I will take care of everything
07:37no it's quite extraordinary what I just mean to see a clairvoyant and she didn't
07:44mention anything about at all dark stranger
07:51it's impossible it's a heap of old junk it could be anywhere
07:55no it couldn't she's convinced it's within 50 miles and you believe it I believe in
07:59her money if she insists on paying me to go swanning around the countryside I don't
08:03like it prude these clairvoyants give me the creeps I think you should be careful it's not
08:08me that has to be careful she's the one that's supposed to die there
08:11yeah but you don't want to get caught up in her bad vibes I mean suppose it was you in
08:14this picture
08:16actually looks a bit like you thanks Fred you just took a cut in salary
08:20what salary talking of creeps we had one here what man called Quigley said he wanted to do a deal
08:27what was he didn't say what sort of deal well he says that he's looking for the same thing as
08:32we're
08:32looking for so he reckons we should join forces to look for this place why I mean maybe he's had
08:38the same dream and he thinks he's gonna die there as well hmm if it's in my way he could
08:42be right
08:45your car will be ready tomorrow in the meantime perhaps you'll allow me to be your chauffeur
08:49Lewis what a perfectly charming offer I can think of nothing I'd like more
08:55oh may I introduce my two associates this is Maggie
09:01hello and this is Fred
09:05Prue why don't I lend you my car and you can act as my chauffeur
09:12done Fred I saw him first yes but you're not his type
09:16he can get all the dark haired birds he wants in Spain
09:19what he wants is a nice cool blonde
09:23what he wants is to improve his English and grammar and syntax are not exactly your strong ones are they
09:29thank you Lewis let's go
09:35grammar and syntax
09:38well I've heard it called some things but never that before
09:45I've caught this nasty cold that I think it's hanging about following them
09:52well are they any good
09:54I mean they're not likely to find it before you do are they
09:58well not unless they know something I don't sir
10:03don't tempt me with remarks like that Mr. Quigley
10:06beg your pardon sir
10:08you think that's likely
10:11well one of them
10:13the standfast lady went to see
10:16Madam Crystal
10:17and she probably gave her a clue or two
10:20I think I should stick close by her sir
10:25we're not paying you to ride on other people's coattails Mr. Quigley
10:31we expect you to conduct your own investigation
10:36do you mind the guards fan
10:43oh I'm so sorry sir
10:51you don't mind how I conduct my investigation sir as long as I get results right
10:57I suppose so
10:59though if you're gonna follow this Miss Standish
11:03stand fast sir
11:06then I can't for the life of me think why we're not employing her
11:09well she's already got a client sir
11:13I expect he's paying far more than you'd offer
11:17if you're not satisfied with the terms we agreed then I'll
11:19no no no Mr. Quigley
11:22no I didn't say that Mr. Woodbridge
11:26all I'm saying is that
11:28this is a handicap race and I'm the back marker

11:55good morning sir
12:05Stanley Woodbridge here
12:07I wondered if you'd heard of a detective agency called Eyes
12:12I see
12:13well I think they probably need a warning shot across their bowels
12:17well they sound like a bunch of amateurs but unfortunately they've become involved in our joint operation
12:23it could prove a bit of a nuisance
12:28I'm not keeping you from anything am I?
12:30no
12:31I'm looking for property in the area
12:32so I'd be glad of the company

14:16when I dream there's not so much detail
14:18you're not a clairvoyant
14:20you think she is a true clairvoyant?
14:23I don't believe there is such a thing
14:25it's a load of rubbish
14:26what about fate?
14:27you believe in that?
14:30I don't believe it's unalterable
14:33there is a tide in the affairs of men
14:35which taken at the flood
14:36can lead to all sorts of goodies
14:39but it's up to you to take it
14:42and if you don't?

14:57because he had seen death
14:58in the marketplace
15:00when his master
15:01asked death
15:02why he had threatened the servant
15:04death said he had done
15:05no such thing
15:06he had merely looked surprised
15:08to see him in Baghdad
15:10because he had an appointment
15:11with him
15:13that night in Samara
15:17surely you don't believe

22:45well we thought about it
22:46but he had this gun you see
22:48so we stopped thinking about it
22:50must have followed me all the way from Sheerness
22:52but if he already had a photograph
22:54maybe he didn't
22:55maybe he's only just got a hold of it
22:57well from madame crystal
22:59well she must have seen it
23:00all that stuff about a premonition
23:01was a load of hogwash
23:02she must have copied it
23:03but why?
23:04I mean what's going on?
23:06there is only one way to find out
23:07I am once again at your disposal prudence
23:09oh Luis you are a brick
23:12vamos a bermu chacho
23:15you can be getting on with the cross-verling
23:17can't you chaps?
23:22you know
23:24there's no justice
23:25just because she speaks the bleeding lingo
23:29shouldn't have nodded off during Spanish lessons
23:32should you?
23:33Spanish lessons?
23:35and what?
23:43oh god

24:07before attempting a full canvas?
24:09michelangelo
24:10leonardo
24:10madame crystal's hardly in early
24:12she would need to practice even more
24:13would she not?
24:14before she could draw her premonition
24:15I still think she was copying the photograph
24:18that is because you do not believe in clairvoyance
24:21she could have seen it
24:22without seeing it
24:23well let's find out what the neighbors saw

25:04Miss Stoneforst
25:05when he pulled out the gun
25:05I thought he was going to kill me
25:07you've never seen him before?
25:08no
25:10but
25:11what?
25:13well he seemed to know something that I didn't
25:16he asked a lot of strange questions
25:18about the photograph?
25:20what photograph?
25:22it was my inner eye that saw that place Miss Stamfast
25:25if there is a photograph
25:27then it proves that the place exists
25:29doesn't it?
25:30so I want you to go on searching
25:32look madam crystal
25:33I am trying to keep an open mind about your profession
25:36but if he can see into the future
25:38I am father Christmas
25:39he's not psychic
25:40he's psychotic
25:40oh yes but
25:42but you will go on searching
25:43won't you?
25:44please
25:50well?
25:51we keep looking
25:54oh
25:59Fred?
26:00oh what?
26:01why was madam crystal so sure
26:03that that place was within 50 miles
26:07well that's what I said
26:09but no one took a blind bit of notice of me
26:1550 miles
26:22are you nodding off?
26:24are you going to help me cop some of this lot?
26:30I think I've got a
26:32what what?
26:35a hunch
26:39isn't it funny how you've always got a hunch
26:41when we've got work to do
26:58I think I've got a hunch
27:01I think I've got a hunch
27:01I think I've got a hunch
27:01I think I've got a hunch
27:02I think I've got a hunch
27:02I've got a hunch
27:02I think I've got a hunch
27:02I've got a hunch
27:02I've got a hunch
27:03I've got a hunch
27:03I've got a hunch
27:04I've got a hunch
27:05I've got a hunch
27:07I've got a hunch
27:10I've got a hunch
27:15I was beginning to worry.
27:17Worry?
27:18That you had run out on me.
27:19After a meal like that, I'd never be so grateful.
27:22Would you like another liqueur?
27:24No, thank you.
27:26Has anyone ever told you, Prudence?
27:29What?
27:30That you are a wonderful map reader.
27:34No.
27:35They keep banging on about my eyes being pools of mystery,
27:38and my lips like precious rubies,
27:40but no one's ever mentioned my map reading.
27:41Perhaps it takes a Spaniard to appreciate your true qualities.
27:46Perhaps it takes an English woman to appreciate yours.
27:49What are they?
27:52Clean fingernails.
27:53Oh.
27:56You seem to be a man with no warts, Luis.
27:59It's very confusing for a poor country girl.
28:01What?
28:02What is a wart?
28:04A blemish and imperfection.
28:06Oh, but I have one of those.
28:09Really, do tell.
28:10I hate to waste time.
28:13Doesn't seem particularly wartish to me.
28:16Which leads me to suggest something.
28:18Hmm.
28:19It would be a waste of time to return to your office tonight.
28:23If we were to stay at this hotel,
28:25we could make a quick start in the morning.
28:28And I could teach you how to read a map?
28:30I would like that.
28:33Excuse me.
28:49Just a few questions, John.
28:58We're going to have a nice, cosy chat.
29:00And you're going to do most of the talking.
29:03How am I?
29:05Hmm.
29:05What a counter is a gun.
29:07Under this table.
29:10Married, are you?
29:16Sort of.
29:17Then you'd better answer my questions quickly.
29:19I'm sure old lady's going to be missing her conjugal.
29:23What's your game, eh?
29:27Football.
29:30You're trying to cut yourself in on what?
29:34No, I'm just trying to finish my handbook.
29:36What were you doing outside Madame Crystal's?
29:41Well, what were you doing?
29:43Oi, oi, oi.
29:44I'm the one with the shootout, eh?
29:47Who the hell are you?
29:52Oh, sorry.
29:55Uh-huh.
29:59Two beans on toast and one scrambled egg.
30:03No, one scrambled egg.
30:07So, why were you tailing that detective bird?
30:12Well, I fancied that, didn't I?
30:16I think you'd better step outside.
30:19Couldn't I finish my handbook?
30:21Stand up.
30:22Nice and slow.
30:24Move to the door.
30:25I'll be right behind you.
30:31Ain't got time, buddy.
30:32I'll be right behind you.
30:34Ah!
30:37Ah!
30:40Ah!
30:40Ah!
30:42Ah!
30:42Ah!
30:43Ah!
30:45Ah!
30:48Fred?
30:49Sorry to ring you so late.
30:50Am I interrupting anything?
30:52Yeah, I can hear him breathing.
30:54The thing is, have we got Madame Crystal's address?
30:57Where?
30:59Fru's noble.
31:01Thanks.
31:02As you were.
31:08Good evening, sir.
31:10Can I help?
31:11And good evening to you, young lady.
31:16I'd like a roux.
31:17I take it, sir, you have already eaten.
31:23We was over the Bay of Biscay.
31:26We hit this pocket of turbulence.
31:30And I was opening the sachet at the time, and whoops, it went...
31:34Yes.
31:35And your luggage?
31:38My luggage?
31:39It's being sent on.
31:41Yes.
31:44Oh, right, sir.
31:45Well, I'll have a toothbrush and a razor sent up to your room, shall I?
31:49Oh, yeah, yeah.
31:50Oh, very civilised here.
31:52Oh, will it be cash or cards, sir?
31:55Yes.
31:56I was looking down your registrar, and I saw a friend of mine staying here.
32:05Here, sir?
32:06Yes, a Spanish gentleman.
32:08Luis de...
32:10Thalbathia.
32:11Yes, sir.
32:12He's just down the corridor from you.
32:14Suite 17.
32:15Shall I put you through?
32:17Here?
32:18Oh, no.
32:20No, no, no, no.
32:20I'll knock on my way.
32:23Sir?
32:26Yes?
32:27You're OK.
32:27I don't know.
32:59Ah, we have blast-off.
33:04Yes, sir.
33:07Oh.
33:10If you could just give these back to the young lady.
33:14By the way, I was looking out my window and I saw this gentleman in the car park trying all
33:21the door handles.
33:23I thought you should know.
33:24Really? I'll have a look.
33:28I'll have a look.
34:16The drawing is not important, Kirila.
34:18We have both memorized it.
34:20It's not just the drawing.
34:22We actually had the nerve to sneak into our suite.
34:24Yes.
34:26Thank you, Kirila.
34:28What for?
34:30Last night.
34:33I'm not sure I should have let you pay for the roof.
34:36Then tonight, if it will make you feel better, you shall pay.
34:42I think that might make me feel worse.
34:45You are an extraordinary creature, proof.
34:47Quite extraordinary.
34:49In what way?
34:50You are a free spirit, I think.
34:54Cool, uninvolved.
34:56Even now, I do not feel I really know you.
35:21There is nothing here, Prudence.
35:23Good God.
35:25What?
35:26Look.
35:42This is it.
35:43No question.
35:44Yes.
35:45It's not exactly the same.
35:47But in five years, there would naturally be changes.
35:52Prudence?
35:55Yes?
35:56Your mission is over.
35:58Shall I drive you back to the office?
36:00No thanks, Louise.
36:01I think I'll wait here for a while.
36:02But I cannot leave you alone in the middle of the country.
36:05I wouldn't be alone.
36:08You will stay with Mr. Quigley?
36:11It's an ideal spot for a murder.
36:13You will need some help to bury him.
36:15I have no intention of burying him.
36:16I shall leave him here as a warning to other creeps.
36:20When shall I see you again, then?
36:25You won't, Louise.
36:27This is goodbye.
36:29Au revoir or adieu?
36:36I'm sorry.
36:40I'm sorry, too.
37:00You've been a naughty boy, Mr. Quigley.
37:03That drawing belongs to my client.
37:06Well, why don't you go to the police?
37:09I don't need to.
37:12How are you going to get it back?
37:14Like this.
37:16Oh!
37:18You're hurting me.
37:19Naughty boys deserve to get hurt.
37:23You offered my partners a deal.
37:25Now I'm offering you one.
37:27Well, it's too late.
37:28I've got all the information I want.
37:30Not all of it.
37:31You haven't seen the photograph.
37:32Well, so, we'll talk, right?
37:38Right.
37:41You first.
37:42No, you first.
37:45You don't trust me.
37:48I take it.
37:49I take it that's a rhetorical question.
38:01Good morning, chaps.
38:03I've done it.
38:05Oh, my God.
38:06It's modesty blaze.
38:07You found the place?
38:08Yep.
38:08So, you got lucky.
38:09Big deal.
38:10What?
38:11I solved the case last night.
38:12I left a message on a machine, but you're obviously doing night duty.
38:16Cementing Anglo-Spanish relations, I expect.
38:19Well, they are joining the EEC soon.
38:21I'll mention you and dispatches to Brussels.
38:24Do you want to know what I found out?
38:26You mean about Charlie Wakeham?
38:27Oh, not just him.
38:28There's Norman Howard.
38:29Fred Tarrant.
38:30Keith Draper.
38:31Alf Binks.
38:31Ah, that's the fellow with the gun, right?
38:32But you don't know who he is, do you?
38:34Oh, do me a favor.
38:36I'll tell you someone else you don't know about.
38:39Who?
38:41Luis de Ilbalutheia.
38:45Yes, well, I admit I don't have intimate knowledge.
38:47But I can make a shrewd guess.
38:50You see, I know where Norman Howard's scarpered to.
38:52Oh, no.
38:53They've got you two doing it now.
38:55What?
38:56Talking in Serbo-Croat.
38:58Any chance of a translation?
39:01Ask Maggie, Fred.
39:01I've got to go and see Madam Crystal.
39:04What are you going to tell her?
39:06Oh, just that I've found the end of the rainbow.
39:09You don't tell her everything else, you know?
39:11If I did that, none of the rats would come out of the woodwork, would they?
39:14Yeah, I suppose you're right.
39:15Oh, by the way, you'll find her at home.
39:16She phoned and said she discharged herself from the hospital.
39:19Thanks.
39:19See you tomorrow.
39:23That was a gun.
39:25Wasn't it?
39:27There.
39:28I've added a £50 bonus.
39:30That's very kind of you.
39:33You're sure you don't want me to take you there?
39:35Certainly not.
39:36You've told me where it is.
39:38Now I can give it a wide berth.
39:40Will you be able to?
39:41I mean, if you believe in destiny.
39:45Destiny can always be thwarted by willpower, Miss Standfast.
39:50It's the X factor that allows us to follow a different path.
39:56I see.
39:57Well, goodbye.
39:59Goodbye.
40:01I hope you're convinced now.
40:03I'm convinced.
40:04That there is such a thing as the inner eye.
40:07I'm convinced that most of us see through a glass darkly.
40:11But if we keep working at it, it gradually becomes clear.
40:17What's this?
40:18The national debt?
40:20Well, it was only bed and breakfast.
40:23In fact, I had supper around at the cafe.
40:25Did you have to stay in a four-star hotel?
40:29Well, I didn't choose it, sir.
40:30It was chosen for me and it did get a result.
40:36Yes.
40:37You did well, Mr. Quigley.
40:39Sure there's no mistake?
40:42No, sir, there's no mistake.
40:45If I was you, sir, I'd get my skates on because the competition is, well, it's hard and...
40:53It's...
40:54It's hot and the...
40:57It's breathing down the heels of my neck, sir.
41:01Really?
41:03Well, don't worry.
41:04I've already passed the information to the official quarters and I have the matter in hand.
41:11I'd like to be in on the kill of this one, if that's possible, sir.
41:15That's not up to me.
41:16I'll have to get official permission.
41:21I've added a hundred pound bonus.
41:26Oh, thank you very much, sir.
41:30It's been a real...
41:32It's been a real pleasure doing business with you, sir.
41:34Yes, indeed.
41:37Glad those women didn't get there first.
41:40Have to be put in their place occasionally, don't they?
41:44More than occasionally, sir.
41:46All the time.
41:49Well, goodbye, sir.
41:53Bye.
41:54Bye.
41:58Bye.
42:00Bye.
42:02Bye.
42:10Bye.
42:12Bye.
42:24Bye.
42:48Bye.
42:49Thanks, love.
42:50Yeah, I'll take that.
