00:00:05The End
00:00:38The End
00:01:18Is there anything wrong, miss?
00:01:23Isla, what's the matter?
00:01:24I'm so sorry, but my nerves are going to pieces.
00:01:27Why were you following me?
00:01:29Following you, miss?
00:01:29Yes, following me.
00:01:30Miss Crane asked you a question.
00:01:32I'm afraid the young lady's imagination is getting the better of her, my lord.
00:01:34Don't be impertinent.
00:01:36Someone's put a bolt on the outside of my bedroom door.
00:01:38What for?
00:01:40Bolt?
00:01:40You mean you can be made prisoner in your own room?
00:01:43Yes.
00:01:44Do you know anything about this?
00:01:45A very queer, my lord.
00:01:46Answer my question.
00:01:47I can only repeat.
00:01:48A very queer, my lord.
00:01:50The insolence of you two men is becoming intolerable.
00:01:53Willie?
00:01:55Yes, mother?
00:01:59I want to talk to you.
00:02:01And to you too, Isla.
00:02:13I thought I heard someone scream.
00:02:15Yes, mother, you did.
00:02:16It was Isla.
00:02:16And no wonder.
00:02:17You ought to control yourself.
00:02:18I'm sorry, Lady Lebanon, but there's a limit.
00:02:20Can't you explain?
00:02:21Well, it's this house.
00:02:23I don't know what it is, but there's something about it that's unnerving, that's terrifying.
00:02:28Isla, you're disappointing me.
00:02:29You're just being hysterical.
00:02:30How about I'm not?
00:02:32So we're insolent, are we?
00:02:36Well, I think Isla's perfectly right, mother.
00:02:39This whole place is like a tomb or a condemned cell.
00:02:41Don't talk nonsense.
00:02:42I can't be one.
00:02:43Earth, Isla sticks it.
00:02:44If you had a mother and two young sisters dependent on your employer for a monthly allowance,
00:02:48you would do precisely what Isla is doing.
00:02:50Well, that's not very sporting, mother.
00:02:52Will you please be quiet?
00:02:54Someone has put a bolt on the outside of Isla's bedroom door.
00:02:58Will you put yourself in her place?
00:03:00If I were in her place, I should take no notice of it.
00:03:03Was that bolt put there on your instructions, Lady Lebanon?
00:03:08No, it was not.
00:03:19Mr. Ferriby.
00:03:21You can show him in, Gilda.
00:03:22Yes, my dear.
00:03:23Who on earth is Ferriby?
00:03:24An architect from London.
00:03:26He's come to inspect the Priory with a view to restoration work.
00:03:28About time, too.
00:03:33How do you do, Mr. Ferriby?
00:03:34How do you do?
00:03:35This is my secretary, Miss Crane, my son.
00:03:37How do you do, Miss Crane?
00:03:38How do you do?
00:03:39How do you do?
00:03:40Take off?
00:03:41Oh, very badly.
00:03:42Good.
00:03:42That's two of us.
00:03:42How about a round?
00:03:43Mr. Ferriby is here on a professional visit.
00:03:46You'll find that certain portions of the house are in urgent need of repair.
00:03:49That's putting it rather mildly.
00:03:50Under no circumstances must the character of the building be altered.
00:03:53I must insist on that.
00:03:54Of course not.
00:03:55I quite agree.
00:03:55Here is a plan of Mark Sprowdy.
00:03:58Miss Crane will show you round.
00:03:59Yes, Lady Lebanon.
00:04:03Will your work take long?
00:04:05I expect to finish my examination of the building in about a week.
00:04:14What a marvellous old place this is.
00:04:17Yes.
00:04:18Excuse me, Miss Crane.
00:04:20Could I speak to you a moment?
00:04:22Yes, Jackson.
00:04:23Just one minute.
00:04:24What is it, Jackson?
00:04:25I just wanted to remind you about the fancy dress dance at the Institute.
00:04:29Oh, I hadn't forgotten.
00:04:30I expect I'll go for a while.
00:04:31I'm going a sweet nell of old Drury.
00:04:33I've got my oranges and everything.
00:04:35I'm sure you'll look lovely, Jackson.
00:04:39Now, Mr. Ferriby.
00:04:40Well, let's take a look at the plan.
00:04:44I can't see why he has to stay in the village.
00:04:47Why can't we put him up here?
00:04:48Sir, he's a very decent sort of fellow and I need some companionship.
00:04:51You cannot stay here.
00:04:52Well, why on earth not?
00:04:53Because I say so.
00:04:55And as for discharging Gilder and Brooks, it's quite out of the question.
00:04:59Everyone notices how those two fellows behave.
00:05:02I'm the laughingstock of the whole village.
00:05:03Has Stud told you that?
00:05:04Stud?
00:05:05No, I wouldn't discuss a thing like that with him.
00:05:07I'm not quite sure.
00:05:09The study's the kind of man I want at Mark's Priory.
00:05:12Why, you're not thinking of dismissing him.
00:05:14I mean, he's an awfully good chauffeur and I like him.
00:05:18I suppose the truth of the matter is he doesn't suit Dr. Amersham.
00:05:21I never consider Dr. Amersham's views.
00:05:23I neither ask his advice nor am I guided by him.
00:05:50I never consider Dr. Amersham.
00:06:13I want you to marry Isla.
00:06:19Marry Isla?
00:06:19She's of the same family.
00:06:21Her grandfather was a younger brother of your grandfather.
00:06:25Well, I suppose I shall have to marry sometime, but...
00:06:28What?
00:06:38My family has created a jungle.
00:06:41It'saver it and say,
00:06:53here's whatever he's construed.
00:07:00Carver, tell us that there's something wrong with the auto-vac in my car.
00:07:03The auto-vac, did you say, sir?
00:07:05Yes, tell him to get it right at once.
00:07:06Certainly, Dr. Everschamp.
00:07:08Her ladyship is in the library.
00:07:13Milo is in every way a good match.
00:07:15She's no money, but that doesn't matter.
00:07:17She's at the same blood, and that's all that counts.
00:07:28I don't know why you asked me to come down to tell me you want him to marry Isla.
00:07:31I had to leave a very sick patient.
00:07:33You have no patience.
00:07:34I doubt whether there's anyone in London foolish enough to employ you.
00:07:37You employ me?
00:07:43Hello.
00:07:44That door handle's rather unique, isn't it?
00:07:46Yes.
00:07:48That's the old Lord Lebanon's room.
00:07:49He died in there after a very long illness.
00:07:52It's locked.
00:07:52It's been locked ever since he died.
00:07:54Lady Lebanon will never allow it to be open.
00:07:56Before I get through, I may have to have a look inside.
00:08:02Why doesn't he get a chauffeur to do his own dirty work?
00:08:04Afraid I don't know.
00:08:06What a gentleman, eh?
00:08:07And what a doctor.
00:08:09If a ladyship knew as much as I know, he wouldn't last five minutes in this place.
00:08:13Indian army, eh?
00:08:14I can tell you a few things about the Indian army.
00:08:17Hmm.
00:08:41Hello, Stud.
00:08:42Good afternoon, my lord.
00:08:44Do you want your car?
00:08:44No.
00:08:46Dr. Amersham called.
00:08:47I thought I'd come out for a breath of fresh air.
00:08:49Hmm.
00:08:49I know.
00:08:50Oh, he's doing himself proud, ain't he?
00:08:52Makes mine look pretty shabby, doesn't it?
00:08:54Cost a couple of thousand if it'd cost a penny.
00:08:57You wanted me?
00:08:58Where's his lord, you?
00:08:59Out in the garage, talking to Stud.
00:09:02All right, you look.
00:09:06Stud must go.
00:09:07He's been repeating village gossip.
00:09:09Yes, the sooner he goes, the better, I should say.
00:09:11Well, I'll be getting back.
00:09:12I want you to stay.
00:09:13No, I've rather an important appointment.
00:09:15I want you to stay.
00:09:17I've had a room prepared for you.
00:09:19Very well, if you insist.
00:09:21By the way, this marriage, what's I look at to say about it?
00:09:24I haven't spoken to her yet.
00:09:29By the way, did you ever meet Stud in India?
00:09:31He was stationed at Delhi.
00:09:32Delhi?
00:09:33When?
00:09:34I don't know, but from what I've heard,
00:09:35he's told people he knew you, though.
00:09:39If her ladyship knew as much as I know,
00:09:42she wouldn't let him inside the house.
00:09:43Why, what do you know about him?
00:09:45At the right time, I'll have a few words to say.
00:09:50Did you know him in India?
00:09:52Oh, I knew him all right.
00:09:54Oh, good lord, here he comes.
00:09:55I'm off.
00:09:56Goodbye.
00:10:00Well, Stud, my car finished?
00:10:02No, it isn't.
00:10:03I'm afraid it won't be until the morning.
00:10:04I'm going to dance.
00:10:05Who gave you permission?
00:10:06I don't need permission.
00:10:08It's my night off.
00:10:09I think you'd better start looking for another job, Stud.
00:10:12Oh, and who are you to tell me to look for another job?
00:10:15And what sort of job, Doctor?
00:10:17Signing other people's names on checks?
00:10:19If I get another job, it'll be an honest job.
00:10:21It won't be robbing a brother officer.
00:10:22You can take that from me.
00:10:23What the devil are you talking about?
00:10:25Are you off your head?
00:10:25You know what I'm talking about, all right?
00:10:27And whatever job I take, I shan't be pinched for it or go up for trial for it or be
00:10:31kicked out of the army for it.
00:10:32You keep your filthy mouth shut.
00:10:33I'll keep my mouth shut until I choose to open it.
00:10:48Your costume is very striking, Stud, as I may say so.
00:10:52Oh, do you think so, Miss Crane?
00:10:53I brought her back from India with me.
00:10:54I think your wife looks perfectly exquisite, Mr. Tilling.
00:10:58Yes.
00:10:59And you made it yourself.
00:11:00How very clever of you.
00:11:03Swiss, isn't it?
00:11:04No doubt you're supposed to be.
00:11:06Dear Julia, what is the matter with me?
00:11:09Of course.
00:11:33Thank you, Miss Crane.
00:11:34Thank you, Stud.
00:11:37Well, that was very jolly.
00:11:40And now we're going to have a gentleman's excuse me dance.
00:11:45Excuse me.
00:12:05May I have this dance, please?
00:12:07Yes, certainly.
00:12:11May I have this dance, please?
00:12:13Do you mind, Jim?
00:12:14Of course he doesn't mind.
00:12:16Why does one come to a dance?
00:12:18To dance, surely.
00:12:22Bless me, I promise to help with the refreshments.
00:12:25And here I stand listening to your talk.
00:12:31I know to your old man's as happy as ever.
00:12:33He's so jealous.
00:12:34He frightens me.
00:12:36Him?
00:12:36You should worry.
00:12:37It's all very fine for you.
00:12:39You don't have to live with me.
00:12:40And neither will you much longer.
00:12:46Excuse me.
00:12:47Excuse me.
00:12:48I'm afraid this is called a gentleman's excuse me dance.
00:12:51Oh, is it?
00:12:56After this dance, I'm going out the back for the smoke.
00:12:58Come out as quickly as you can.
00:12:59Put Jim here.
00:13:00I can't.
00:13:01You must.
00:13:02It's most important.
00:13:02Only for a minute.
00:13:03I've got to talk to you.
00:13:04Excuse me.
00:13:06Excuse me.
00:13:10So this is nightlife in Mark's Thornsson.
00:13:13You're not broad, are you?
00:13:14Oh, to bet it's grand.
00:13:15Excuse me.
00:13:25Excuse me.
00:13:28Do you think the vicar in mind if I check that fellow out?
00:13:30He's quite within his rights, you know.
00:13:32He's got the technique of a horsefly.
00:13:42There she goes.
00:13:43There she goes.
00:13:44I said she'd follow him out.
00:13:48Do you still feel the same about coming away with me?
00:13:50Of course I do.
00:13:52Excuse me.
00:13:55What do you say this dance is called?
00:13:57A gentleman's excuse me.
00:13:59Well, I hope I'm a gentleman, but if he goes on much longer,
00:14:01it's going to bring out the beast in me.
00:14:04Excuse me.
00:14:06Ah, excuse us.
00:14:09I must go now.
00:14:10He mustn't see us here together.
00:14:11All right.
00:14:12Same place tomorrow night, 8 o'clock.
00:14:14That's right.
00:14:34Yes, I'm going to find this work very interesting.
00:14:36That is, if Lady Lebanon approves my suggestions.
00:14:38Oh, I'm sure she will.
00:14:39Well, it's good to know you're on my side, anyway.
00:14:45They're footmen here.
00:14:47Yes, I remember.
00:14:48One of them opened the door to me.
00:14:49Not very much like footmen, are they?
00:14:51Well, you don't know how they terrify me.
00:14:53Ever since I came here.
00:14:57That ghostly sound, what was it?
00:14:58I don't know.
00:14:58It came from over there.
00:15:00I'll go and see what's the matter.
00:15:00I'm coming with you.
00:15:01I'll get a torch.
00:15:29Mr. Faraday, it's done.
00:15:45It's strangled with this cup.
00:15:56What puzzles me is that he was strangled with a scarf that came from India.
00:16:00Well, there's one crumb of comfort, Totty.
00:16:02Your brains are on the job.
00:16:03Well, as a matter of fact, this Mark's Priory business is perfectly simple to me.
00:16:06Really?
00:16:06You must be quite a genius.
00:16:08Funny nobody's ever noticed it.
00:16:10There's a lot of jealousy going on in this building.
00:16:12Come in.
00:16:15Oh, take this to records, please.
00:16:17Thank you, sir.
00:16:18Well, come on, Totty.
00:16:19Let's have the deductions of your mastermind.
00:16:21It doesn't require a mastermind to work this one out.
00:16:24Stud's carrying on with the wife of Tilling.
00:16:25Lady Watson, Ames, head gamekeeper.
00:16:27Tilling is a quarrelsome sort of cuss.
00:16:30Very jealous of his wife, so he strangles Stud.
00:16:32Well, go on.
00:16:33What do you mean, go on?
00:16:35That's all there is to it.
00:16:36Is that so?
00:16:37Well, if it's as simple as all that, why haven't the local police disposed of the case?
00:16:40Search me.
00:16:41No, Totty.
00:16:42There's a lot more in this than meets the eye.
00:16:44Hello?
00:16:45Car's waiting, sir.
00:16:46Right-o.
00:16:47Go on, Totty.
00:16:48I still think Tilling's our man.
00:16:50He'd have used his hands, not an Indian scarf.
00:16:52Oh, well, we'll see.
00:16:52When I get down there, I'm going to keep my ears open.
00:16:55Of course you'll keep your ears open.
00:16:57Nature's made them that way.
00:17:01I understand that the scarf used to kill Stud was handed to you by Mr. Faraby?
00:17:06Yes.
00:17:07And you lost it?
00:17:09I've already explained to about six police officers that I put it in the top left-hand drawer of my
00:17:12bureau.
00:17:13Immediately after, Mr. Faraby and Miss Crane had found the body.
00:17:16A short time afterwards, yes.
00:17:17And yet when the local police arrived, less than 20 minutes later, it had gone.
00:17:22Yes.
00:17:22But how?
00:17:24You were the detective, Mr. Tanner, not I.
00:17:27I don't want to mince words, Lady Lebanon, but your explanation, to say the least, is most unsatisfactory.
00:17:32It is my explanation, nevertheless.
00:17:34That scarf was an extremely valuable clue.
00:17:38Is there anything else you want to ask me?
00:17:40I'm rather anxious to meet Dr. Amersham.
00:17:42Is he likely to be here today?
00:17:44Why? He wasn't here at the time of the crime. He left for London after dinner.
00:17:47Just the same. I'd like to see him.
00:17:51That is Lord Lebanon.
00:17:53Plays rather well, if I may say so.
00:17:55May I meet him?
00:17:58Come this way.
00:18:11This gentleman is from Scotland Yard.
00:18:16Oh, how do you do, officer?
00:18:18That is right, isn't it, officer?
00:18:20I'm Chief Inspector Tanner, Lord Lebanon.
00:18:22Good morning.
00:18:22I beg your pardon, Inspector.
00:18:23Good morning.
00:18:25This is an absolutely dreadful business.
00:18:27He was such a decent fellow.
00:18:29And I hope to goodness you find out who the murderer is.
00:18:31I hope so, too.
00:18:32Well, if I can be of the slightest assistance in any way, don't hesitate to let me know.
00:18:36Is it possible for me to see the gentleman that found the body, Mr...
00:18:39Why, Ferraby, of course.
00:18:40Oh, he'll be about to play somewhere.
00:18:41My son will look after you, if you'll excuse me, Mr. Tanner.
00:18:43Certainly.
00:18:44This way, Inspector.
00:18:45Shouldn't be difficult to find him.
00:18:46He must be around the place somewhere.
00:18:50Exchange?
00:18:51Give me Barclay 5555 and quickly, please.
00:18:59Hello.
00:19:00Is that you?
00:19:02Men from Scotland Yard are here.
00:19:04Scotland Yard?
00:19:06It's imperative you should come down this evening.
00:19:09Oh, very well.
00:19:10I'll be there.
00:19:13He was lying here, face downwards.
00:19:14And the scarf, you say, had a little metal tag in one corner?
00:19:17That's right, and some words in Hindustani in another corner.
00:19:19The maker's name, I imagine.
00:19:20Hmm, I don't think we can gain anything by remaining here.
00:19:23Oh, Isla.
00:19:27Oh, this is Chief Inspector Tanner of Scotland Yard.
00:19:30Miss Crane, my mother's secretary.
00:19:32How do you do?
00:19:32It's about poor Stud's death, isn't it?
00:19:34Yes, I suppose you can throw no light on the matter?
00:19:36No, how could I?
00:19:40It's all been a terrible shock to her, as you can imagine.
00:19:42Yes, I quite understand.
00:19:43Oh, excuse me.
00:19:44Would you mind if I have a word in private, Mr. Tanner?
00:19:46Of course not.
00:19:49Inspector, did my mother by any chance tell you that Dr. Amersham wasn't here when the
00:19:53crime was committed?
00:19:53She said he dined here and left for London early.
00:19:55Why will she persist in saying that?
00:19:57Why, isn't it true?
00:19:58No.
00:20:00Dr. Amersham spent the night here.
00:20:01Are you certain of that, Lord Lebanon?
00:20:02Absolutely.
00:20:04You see, I saw him driving off this morning at about seven o'clock.
00:20:07I say, you won't tell anybody I told you, will you?
00:20:10You were bound to find out sooner or later, weren't you?
00:20:15What's the matter?
00:20:17He's been asking questions.
00:20:18Mr. Tanner.
00:20:18The police officer?
00:20:19What questions did he ask?
00:20:22Did he say anything about Amersham?
00:20:23Oh, he didn't mention his name.
00:20:25You must pull yourself together, Isla.
00:20:27Yes, but it's all so dreadful.
00:20:37Well, I appreciate your help very much, Lord Lebanon.
00:20:39Good afternoon.
00:20:40Cheerio, Inspector.
00:20:41Good afternoon, my lord.
00:20:41Oh, goodbye.
00:20:42Charmed, I'm sure.
00:20:43I beg your pardon?
00:20:44Yes.
00:20:44Oh, quite, yes.
00:20:47He liked that.
00:20:47I got away with the aristocracy.
00:20:49Now, how to handle them?
00:20:50They're much more interested in your handling of the servants.
00:20:52There's enough in there to fill Wembley Stadium.
00:20:54You've got no information out of them, of course.
00:20:56Not a sausage.
00:20:56But there's an interesting thing that Buckner told me.
00:20:58None of the servants are allowed in the main part of the house after eight o'clock at night.
00:21:02Those two footmen take over.
00:21:04Hmm, that's certainly interesting.
00:21:07Fereb is positive.
00:21:08He saw them in the grounds just before he heard the scream.
00:21:10You mean the footmen?
00:21:11Yes.
00:21:11What have they got to say for themselves?
00:21:12Oh, they admitted him.
00:21:13Said they were out for a bit of fresh air.
00:21:15Saw nothing, heard nothing.
00:21:16Run blokes.
00:21:17But I don't think they were sprucing.
00:21:18Why?
00:21:19Because I'm sure Tillin's our man.
00:21:20Well, I'm not.
00:21:21Anyhow, we're going to see him now.
00:21:23Did Stud ever hint to you that he had an enemy?
00:21:25Somebody who might do him an injury?
00:21:27No, he didn't.
00:21:28Well, let me put it like this.
00:21:29Did Stud, to your knowledge, before his death, do anything to incur the displeasure of someone else?
00:21:35Not that I know of.
00:21:36You and your husband quarrelled on the way back from the dance, didn't you?
00:21:39Yes.
00:21:39About Stud?
00:21:41Yes.
00:21:41You ever threatened to kill him?
00:21:42Oh, he was in a temper.
00:21:44I expect we both said things we didn't mean.
00:21:47Stud was a friend of yours, wasn't he?
00:21:50Did you hear my question?
00:21:52I asked you if Stud was a friend of yours.
00:21:54I was going to run away with him.
00:21:55That's the truth.
00:21:59What are you doing here?
00:22:01We're from Scotland Yard.
00:22:03What are you asking my wife?
00:22:06Questions.
00:22:06I now propose to ask you some.
00:22:08What do you know about the murder of Arthur Stud?
00:22:10Only what I read in the papers.
00:22:12Can you account for your movements on the night of the crime?
00:22:19Well?
00:22:22I went to the dance at the Institute with my wife.
00:22:25I came home with her.
00:22:26Did you quarrel with her on the way back?
00:22:28We had some words, yes.
00:22:30What about?
00:22:32It was about her friendship with Stud, wasn't it?
00:22:35Yes.
00:22:36Did you go out again?
00:22:36After you came back from the dance, I mean.
00:22:38I did.
00:22:39Where?
00:22:40Hampstead Woods.
00:22:41Well, at that time of night, why?
00:22:43There's been a lot of poaching there lately.
00:22:44I see.
00:22:45And you saw or heard nothing unusual.
00:22:47No.
00:22:49You'd every reason to dislike Stud, hadn't you?
00:22:52He was trying to steal my wife.
00:22:55I'm glad he's dead.
00:22:57That'll be all for now.
00:23:03You haven't seen the last of us, so you needn't think you have.
00:23:21Well, did you write that?
00:23:23Great, sir.
00:23:24It's terrific.
00:23:26But aren't you glad that you're you and not me?
00:23:28How do you mean?
00:23:29Well, you can lead a normal life, marry whom you please.
00:23:32Well, can't you?
00:23:34No.
00:23:35Because, unfortunately, I'm Lord Lebanon.
00:23:38If I was someone else, I could play in a dance band.
00:23:40Yes, I know.
00:23:41It's bad luck.
00:23:42Condemned to a life of boredom.
00:23:45To marry someone, produce children.
00:23:48The line.
00:23:50I hate the word.
00:23:52It's rather a revolting thought, don't you think?
00:23:54To have to sire children.
00:23:56Not much difference between me and a derby winner.
00:23:58Have another drink?
00:23:59No, thanks.
00:23:59Have as go, I'll be locked out of the White Hart.
00:24:01I hope you're comfortable.
00:24:02Oh, yes, it's a nice old pub.
00:24:03Fine.
00:24:07Well, I hope you haven't been bored.
00:24:08Not a bit, it's been grand.
00:24:10I'll come and see you off.
00:24:11Don't you bother, my car's just outside.
00:24:12Good night.
00:24:13Cheerio.
00:24:13See you in the morning.
00:24:16Oh, hello, mother.
00:24:18Didn't see you, sitting all alone there.
00:24:24Now, why that fierce look, mother?
00:24:26Quite a lot of money is missing from my cash box.
00:24:27Two hundred pounds.
00:24:29Do you know anything about it?
00:24:31Yes, as a matter of fact, I took it.
00:24:33You took it.
00:24:34Why?
00:24:35I sent it to poor Stud's sister.
00:24:38She's his only living relative.
00:24:39I felt fearfully sorry for her.
00:24:41You could have taken the money without asking me.
00:24:43Well, dash it all, mother.
00:24:45It is my money.
00:24:47Have you spoken to Isla?
00:24:49No, not yet.
00:24:49I haven't had a chance.
00:24:50Then I beg of you to do so without further delay.
00:24:52You understand?
00:24:52All right.
00:24:57Amersham?
00:24:58I expect so.
00:24:59He's coming here tonight.
00:25:00Right, when I'm off to bed.
00:25:01Good.
00:25:02Remember what I said about Isla.
00:25:04Don't worry me, mother.
00:25:08Thanks, sister.
00:25:09Bye, bye.
00:25:15Bye, bye.
00:25:55Let me out, somebody, let me out of here, let me out, please, I love this door, let me
00:25:59out, please, let me out.
00:26:05Let me out.
00:26:37Anything you want, my lord?
00:26:38Who locked my door?
00:26:40I did.
00:26:40Why?
00:26:41Because there was some trouble downstairs and I didn't want you to be in it.
00:26:44Trouble?
00:26:46Who was it?
00:26:46Nobody you know, my lord.
00:26:48Is there anything I can do for you?
00:26:49Yes, give me a drink.
00:26:51Something long and cold, as if I'd been doped.
00:26:54There was something in that whiskey you gave me tonight, wasn't it, Gilda?
00:26:56There was, I know nothing about it.
00:26:58Where's my mother?
00:26:59In her room.
00:27:01Oh, what did happen?
00:27:02I'm afraid to come and have a look.
00:27:11Unlock this door, somebody, please, unlock this door.
00:27:14What was all that noise?
00:27:15What's been happening?
00:27:16Why has Miss Crane's door been boned?
00:27:18And why hasn't the boat been removed?
00:27:19That I can't see, my lord.
00:27:20Please see that it is done first thing in the morning or there'll be trouble.
00:27:22I'm going downstairs.
00:27:23Oh, please, can I come with you?
00:27:24Of course, my dear.
00:27:25Come along.
00:27:36My sacred aunt.
00:27:40Who did this?
00:27:41Someone who doesn't like Dr. Amersham very much.
00:27:43Dr. Am...
00:27:45He looks as if a lunatic had been let loose.
00:27:47Yes, he behaved like one anyway.
00:27:50What happened to Amersham?
00:27:51We left for London three minutes ago.
00:27:53We're trying to go back to London.
00:27:55This time in the morning.
00:27:56Very queer.
00:27:58Well, we certainly do see life.
00:28:01And death.
00:28:15Is Dr. Amersham in?
00:28:16Is he expecting you, sir?
00:28:18I hope not.
00:28:19It's just a little personal matter.
00:28:22Oh, will you come this way, sir, please?
00:28:27I'll tell the doctor you're here, sir.
00:28:41Well, Mr. Tanner, have they managed to discover anything about this wretched business?
00:28:45Nothing very important.
00:28:46I wonder whether you could help us in any way.
00:28:48Oh, won't you sit down?
00:28:51No, I don't suppose I can help you very much.
00:28:53This man's stud wasn't a particularly attractive person.
00:28:55In fact, I had to pull him up on several occasions.
00:28:58He's rather impertinent in his manner.
00:29:00Not a particularly good chauffeur.
00:29:02Were you at Mark's Priory when the murder was committed?
00:29:04Does this mean I'm a suspect?
00:29:05Oh, no, doctor.
00:29:06I'm merely paying a routine call in the course of my inquiries.
00:29:09I see.
00:29:10And what was it you asked?
00:29:12If you were at Mark's Priory when Stud met his death.
00:29:16Come, doctor.
00:29:17Surely you can remember what you were doing that night?
00:29:19Of course.
00:29:20I dined with Lady Lebanon.
00:29:21How stupid of me.
00:29:22But then I'm there so often it's impossible to remember exactly.
00:29:24What time did you leave for London?
00:29:26Well, to the best of my recollection, I must have left the Priory about half past ten.
00:29:32Lady Lebanon puts it at rather earlier than that.
00:29:35Does she?
00:29:35Oh, well, no doubt she's right.
00:29:36I couldn't swear to the exact time.
00:29:39At any rate, it was before the crime was committed.
00:29:41Oh, yes.
00:29:42At least I gather that it happened just before midnight.
00:29:44I've been informed that you did not leave for London that night.
00:29:47What?
00:29:47In fact, you were seen driving away from the Priory early the following morning.
00:29:50Seven or eight hours after the murder.
00:29:52Who told you that?
00:29:53I'm asking the questions, Dr. Amisham.
00:29:56You still adhere to your story?
00:29:58Mr. Turner, I'm not accustomed to having my word question.
00:30:01If you choose to disbelieve me, well...
00:30:03Oh, no, no, not at all, doctor, not at all.
00:30:06That's a very interesting piece.
00:30:08Yes.
00:30:09I picked it up in India.
00:30:10In Delhi?
00:30:12No, Calcutta.
00:30:13Were you out there long?
00:30:14For some six or seven years, I was in the medical service.
00:30:17Dreadful job, I resigned.
00:30:19Stud's somewhat uneventful history shows that he sold it in India for a time.
00:30:23Did you ever run across it?
00:30:24My dear sir, have you any idea of the size of India?
00:30:26Of the number of troops stationed down?
00:30:28It's also said that it's a very small world.
00:30:31Well, Mr. Turner, if there's anything else you think I can do to help,
00:30:33I'm sure you won't hesitate to call me up.
00:30:35Thank you, doctor.
00:30:36Oh, by the way, if I'm not being too inquisitive,
00:30:38what's your connection with Marks Priory?
00:30:40A friend of the family, I presume?
00:30:42Yes.
00:30:42I knew the father of the present Lord Leberton very well,
00:30:45and as a matter of fact, I'm writing a book on heraldry
00:30:47at the moment with Lady Leberton.
00:30:49And I were being a bit of an authority.
00:30:50Well, goodbye, doctor.
00:30:51Goodbye.
00:30:52I don't bother.
00:30:52I'll see myself out.
00:31:06I say I'm not disturbing you, am I?
00:31:08No, no, of course not.
00:31:09Well, Lady Leberton has left some checks on her desk.
00:31:11She wants you to sign.
00:31:12All right.
00:31:13I say, Isla.
00:31:15Yes?
00:31:15Isla.
00:31:19Has Mother, by any chance, spoken to you about us?
00:31:23About us?
00:31:23Mm-hmm.
00:31:24Yes, she did.
00:31:26Well, what do you think?
00:31:28Rather shook you, I expect, didn't it?
00:31:29I suppose it was a great compliment.
00:31:34You don't really think it's a good idea, do you?
00:31:36I mean, I'm awfully fond of you and all that.
00:31:38Oh, thanks.
00:31:41I can consider myself sacked, eh?
00:31:43Well, don't you think you'd rather sacked yourself?
00:31:46Well, don't you think you'd rather sacked yourself?
00:31:47We understand each other, don't we?
00:31:48Yes, I think we do.
00:31:50I say, what about Mother?
00:31:52You know what she is.
00:31:53Well, now, look, suppose we leave things just as they are for the moment.
00:31:56Marvellous idea.
00:31:57We leave things just as they are.
00:32:00Isla.
00:32:01Yes?
00:32:02You're a supporter.
00:32:03So are you.
00:32:04You going out or coming in?
00:32:06I was just going to Horsham to do some shopping.
00:32:08Or take my car.
00:32:09Oh, thank you very much, but Mr. Pederby said he'd take me.
00:32:13Uh-huh.
00:32:14What do you mean, ah-ha?
00:32:15Ah-ha-ha-ha.
00:32:18Now you're being silly.
00:32:32Where does Madam wish to go?
00:32:34Portion, please.
00:32:35As good as there.
00:32:57What's the secret of Mark's Priory?
00:33:00That sounds like the title of a detective story with Mr. Tanner as the hero.
00:33:05Is he very clever, do you think?
00:33:06Tanner?
00:33:07Sure, he's one of the best men at the yard.
00:33:08I wonder who he suspects.
00:33:10Oh, everybody, I should imagine.
00:33:16What a brilliant pianist, Lord Lebanon.
00:33:18Oh, yes, isn't he?
00:33:19Bet you we marry some girl with no ear for music.
00:33:22Lady Lebanon wants me to marry him.
00:33:25Oh, look out.
00:33:25Look where you're going.
00:33:27My congratulations.
00:33:29On what?
00:33:30Well, on your forthcoming marriage to Lord Lebanon.
00:33:32Oh, I said Lady Lebanon wants me to marry him.
00:33:35And?
00:33:36Well, I don't want to.
00:33:38I'm glad.
00:33:40I hoped you would be.
00:33:42Oh.
00:33:44Oh.
00:34:14Well, it's as clear as mud to me.
00:34:15Whichever way you go, you get back to Amersham.
00:34:17So Tilling's second favourite, is he?
00:34:25Hello.
00:34:26Tanner here.
00:34:26Who?
00:34:27Oh, yes, Marty.
00:34:29Amersham's gone out, has he?
00:34:31And the servants?
00:34:32Good, all right.
00:34:35Tanner here.
00:34:36What about that search warrant?
00:34:37Just ready, sir.
00:34:38All right, I'll collect it on my way down.
00:34:40You know, I've been making a few inquiries on my own.
00:34:43While you've been sleeping soundly in your bed,
00:34:45what have I been doing?
00:34:46Drinking?
00:34:46No, mauling and toiling after the fact.
00:34:48Seeking information here, there and everywhere.
00:34:50Amersham's on the police records.
00:34:52You don't say so.
00:34:52It's a fact.
00:34:53I found it in the files myself.
00:34:54Driving to the common danger,
00:34:55find five pounds and his licence is endorsed.
00:34:57I see, you're really hardened criminal.
00:34:59Has he ever sold bananas after eight?
00:35:01You make me sick.
00:35:20Well, well, well, this is interesting.
00:35:23What is?
00:35:23He's got 20,000 pounds on to his credit
00:35:25at the Metropolitan and County Bank.
00:35:27Well, that's better than the white brown here with a bloater.
00:35:29Let's have a look.
00:35:311,000, 10,000, 15,000.
00:35:40He must be in the house, I'll.
00:35:41What are they?
00:35:43Indian scarves.
00:35:44I wonder what Dr. Amersham will have to say about these.
00:35:47Quite a lot if he wants to get out of this jam.
00:35:54I wish you'd make up your mind earlier in the day
00:35:56when you want to see me.
00:35:57I had an important engagement tonight.
00:35:58This is your important engagement.
00:36:01For quite a long time, I've been doing your dirty work.
00:36:03You've been very well paid.
00:36:04That's just the point.
00:36:05I don't think so.
00:36:06My banking account tells a very different story.
00:36:08It's your son's banking account
00:36:09and he very obligingly signs any checks you put before him.
00:36:15The trouble with you is
00:36:16that you've always wanted to handle my son's money
00:36:17and I've always stood in the way.
00:36:20And I shall continue to stand in the way.
00:36:22Is that quite clear?
00:36:29Where are you going?
00:36:31Back to town.
00:36:32You're staying here.
00:36:33Otherwise, there'll be no check for you tomorrow.
00:36:35All right.
00:36:36We'll see about that.
00:37:06What's the matter?
00:37:07Where's Gil?
00:37:07I don't know.
00:37:08In his room, I suppose.
00:37:08No, he's not.
00:37:09He's just gone out and Brooks was with him.
00:37:10I saw him from my bedroom window.
00:37:12Oh, it's not going to happen again.
00:37:13It mustn't happen again.
00:37:48Jailed in India for forgery.
00:37:51Cashier from the army.
00:37:52Who'd have dreamt he had a record like that?
00:37:53What an officer and a gentleman, eh?
00:37:55I wonder what he's after now.
00:37:57I'll tell you what he's after.
00:37:58He's after Lebanon.
00:37:59Lebanon?
00:37:59Yes, you may be right.
00:38:01That'd be easy.
00:38:02He's a mag.
00:38:02Might take your money from a child.
00:38:04Come in.
00:38:06Will you see Lord Lebanon, sir?
00:38:07Lebanon?
00:38:08That's odd.
00:38:09Bring him in.
00:38:11I wonder what the devil he wants.
00:38:16Good morning, Mr. Tanner.
00:38:17Good morning, Lord Lebanon.
00:38:18I expect you're rather surprised to see me, aren't you?
00:38:19Yes, but agreeably so, my lord.
00:38:21I'm afraid I don't know very much about Scotland Yard.
00:38:22It's a sort of prison, isn't it?
00:38:24Won't you sit down, my lord?
00:38:25I beg?
00:38:25Oh, rather, yes.
00:38:28Yes, it's a cosy little place you've got here.
00:38:30A cigarette, my lord.
00:38:31Oh, thank you, Mr. Tattie.
00:38:32Totty's the name, my lord.
00:38:33An old Italian family.
00:38:35I beg your pardon.
00:38:36Totty, of course.
00:38:36Oh, it's quite all right, Lord.
00:38:38Late.
00:38:40What do you know about Dr. Amersham?
00:38:43Well, I'll be perfectly frank.
00:38:45I detest the man.
00:38:47I find it hard to speak without prejudice,
00:38:50because I dislike him so much
00:38:51that I find it impossible even to be fair.
00:38:53How long have you known him?
00:38:54Oh, a long time.
00:38:56Too damn long.
00:38:58Well, I suppose I'd better begin at the beginning.
00:39:02As a boy, I had rather bad health,
00:39:05but I managed to pass through Sandhurst all right.
00:39:08Up till then, I'd only seen Amersham about half a dozen times.
00:39:10He was my father's doctor.
00:39:12My father, by the way, had been ill for many years.
00:39:16My regiment was sent out to India,
00:39:18and while I was out there, father died.
00:39:22May I have an estuary?
00:39:23An estuary?
00:39:24It's certainly been old.
00:39:26Well, thanks.
00:39:28I had a fairly good time in India
00:39:30until I got a rather bad attack of fever.
00:39:32It must have been pretty serious,
00:39:34because mother sent out Amersham.
00:39:36He said I ought to go home, and I didn't want to.
00:39:39You know how it is.
00:39:40Quite.
00:39:41Quite.
00:39:43Before we left, something rather serious happened.
00:39:47Amersham formed an attachment for a Eurasian girl.
00:39:51He's a bit of a lad on the crotch, you know.
00:39:53So we've gathered.
00:39:55She was beautiful.
00:39:56Absolutely beautiful.
00:39:58She was found in his bungalow, strangled.
00:40:01What?
00:40:02Are you sure?
00:40:03Of course, there was an awful fuss about it,
00:40:05but nothing could be brought home to him,
00:40:06although there were signs of a struggle in his room.
00:40:08How was she strangled?
00:40:10A silk scarf was found round her neck.
00:40:13I feel awful sick.
00:40:15Could I have a glass of water?
00:40:16Certainly.
00:40:17Toddy.
00:40:25Thanks.
00:40:26I'm awfully sorry.
00:40:27Lord Lebanon.
00:40:28Yes?
00:40:29If anything happened to you, who would benefit?
00:40:31Miss Cranes, the Euras.
00:40:32She's my cousin.
00:40:34It rather looks as if I'll have to marry her.
00:40:35Yes, we had a similar case in our family.
00:40:38Does Lady Lebanon know about Dr Amersham?
00:40:40I'm not sure.
00:40:41I hope not.
00:40:42But surely, Lord, establish it.
00:40:45Someone listening at that door?
00:40:46Of course, there's nobody listening at the door.
00:40:48People don't do that sort of thing at Scotland Yard.
00:40:49Do you mind looking, please?
00:40:51All right, Toddy, open the door.
00:41:00Excuse me, gentlemen,
00:41:01but his Lord should have left his cigarette case behind,
00:41:04so I brought it up to him.
00:41:06What do you mean by listening at the door?
00:41:07Listening?
00:41:08I wasn't listening.
00:41:09Who told you to come up?
00:41:11Copper downstairs.
00:41:17Have that man followed, Toddy.
00:41:22Well?
00:41:24See, I'm not quite so foolish after all.
00:41:27I thought I got away this morning without them knowing,
00:41:29but Gilda isn't so easy to slip.
00:41:31How long has the spying been going on?
00:41:32Oh, for a long time now.
00:41:33Does Lady Lebanon know?
00:41:35I'm not sure.
00:41:36Amersham certainly does.
00:41:37Where is Amersham now?
00:41:38Well, he was at Mark's Priory last night,
00:41:40but he came up to town.
00:41:41At least so Mother said at breakfast this morning.
00:41:44No.
00:41:45Sure-o, Inspector.
00:41:46Good luck.
00:41:47Good morning, and thank you for coming, my Lord.
00:41:49Good morning, my Lord.
00:41:49Good morning.
00:41:50Uh, good morning, Mr. Tittow.
00:41:54Tittow.
00:41:55I've put a man on that footman fellow.
00:41:57Here.
00:41:58He's a cool customer, ain't he?
00:42:00And a dangerous one.
00:42:01I don't underrate the gentleman.
00:42:02What do you think about little old Amersham?
00:42:03Strangling girls in bungalows.
00:42:05What do you think?
00:42:06Well, we've got enough evidence to pinch him, haven't we?
00:42:07When you've learnt your business as a detective officer,
00:42:10which will be somewhere about the year 1990,
00:42:13you'll discover there's always sufficient evidence to pinch people,
00:42:16but generally not quite sufficient evidence to convict them.
00:42:18In other words, we don't pinch him?
00:42:20No, we haven't got to that stage yet,
00:42:21but I don't think we're far off.
00:42:24Hello?
00:42:25Lecture's waiting, sir.
00:42:26All right.
00:42:27I can't find that lecture.
00:42:28I'd forgotten all about it.
00:42:29I'm anxious to pay Amersham another visit.
00:42:31Why don't you tell him to go and run away and play?
00:42:45I must apologise to you men
00:42:46for again inflicting myself upon you as a lecturer,
00:42:48but you must blame the enforced absence of Superintendent Jarvis.
00:42:51Now, last week I spoke to you about detective work on broad lines.
00:42:55Today I'm going to talk to you about the Marks Priory case,
00:42:57which, as you know, is engaging my attention at the moment.
00:43:00I'll first draw a rough sketch map of the Priory.
00:43:09I say, I hope I'm not too terribly late.
00:43:11As a matter of fact, you're thankfully late.
00:43:13That's a bit grim, isn't it?
00:43:15Honestly, I could...
00:43:15Night.
00:43:16Shethestown Hall.
00:43:18Pronounced Chumley, I suppose.
00:43:20Sit down.
00:43:28Marks Priory is the seat of the Lebanons,
00:43:30a very old family that settled in England during the Crusades.
00:43:33The present Lord Lebanon is a young man of 25, 26,
00:43:37who lives at the Priory with his mother,
00:43:39a typical English aristocrat of the old school.
00:43:42On the night of the 18th,
00:43:44there was a fancy dress dance
00:43:45at the village institute of Marks Thornton,
00:43:47some two or three miles from the Priory.
00:43:49Stud the chauffeur went to this dance
00:43:51in the costume of an Indian servant.
00:43:53There was also present a man named Tilling,
00:43:55a gamekeeper on the Lebanon estate,
00:43:57and his wife.
00:43:59Tilling was jealous of the murdered man,
00:44:01and not without cause.
00:44:03Let me now bring some other interesting characters
00:44:05onto the stage.
00:44:06Dr. Lester Charles Amisham.
00:44:09Dr. Amisham.
00:44:10Well, there you are.
00:44:10Dr. Amisham, please stand for the moment.
00:44:13Sergeant!
00:44:18Yes, sir?
00:44:19You've been following me, I hope.
00:44:21Oh, yes, sir.
00:44:23Well, what did I say?
00:44:25What's that, sir?
00:44:26What did I just say?
00:44:28Oh, you said, sir, that...
00:44:30Well, I couldn't say it as well as you did, sir.
00:44:33You, 208.
00:44:34What do you deduce for my review of the case?
00:44:37Well, that's a rough guess.
00:44:39I don't want a rough guess.
00:44:40I want deduction, sound reasoning.
00:44:43Well, it's all so frightfully involved, isn't it, sir?
00:44:46Well, as you say, it's all so frightfully involved.
00:44:50Sit down, you twerp.
00:44:53You, 30.
00:44:54What's your opinion?
00:44:55I think the evidence points clearly to the doctor, Amisham.
00:44:58We agree with you.
00:44:59I expect to charge him within the next 24 hours.
00:45:03All along the line, Lady Levenon...
00:45:05Not while I'm lecturing, please.
00:45:07An important message, sir.
00:45:08Give it to the sergeant there.
00:45:12As I was saying, for some reason, Lady Levenon has been doing her utmost to shield Amisham.
00:45:17Now, I should like to have your theories as to why a woman of this type should want to protect
00:45:21a scoundrel like Amisham.
00:45:22Excuse me, sir.
00:45:23What is it?
00:45:23Whereabouts is the garage?
00:45:26Just there.
00:45:27Why?
00:45:28I gather you've no doubt that Amisham murdered Studd.
00:45:30Not the slightest doubt.
00:45:32Why?
00:45:32Oh, I was just wondering.
00:45:33Who murdered Amisham?
00:45:35What are you talking about?
00:45:36What do you mean?
00:45:37Amisham was found half an hour ago in that garage.
00:45:40Strangled.
00:45:49And here we are.
00:45:50Right back to where we started.
00:45:52For the first time, I'm beat.
00:45:53I admit it.
00:45:54I'm beat.
00:45:54Then the outlook is bleak.
00:45:56Just as we were going to put the bracelets on Amisham.
00:45:58Not a match.
00:45:58Yes.
00:46:01Well, let's review the case briefly and see where we get.
00:46:04I'll tell you where we get.
00:46:05Deeper in the sugar.
00:46:07Here, there's something fishy about those footmen.
00:46:09If they're footmen, I'm gandy.
00:46:10We can't ascribe any motive to them.
00:46:12Whereas Lady Levenon...
00:46:14What, eh?
00:46:15Amisham had a hold on her.
00:46:16Yes.
00:46:16And what about that room she won't open?
00:46:18Oh, you're getting somewhere.
00:46:20Why is she so terrified of anybody seeing inside it?
00:46:22So it looks as though we've got a pinch of female Lady Aristocrat, eh?
00:46:26Before I left the yard, I cabled India.
00:46:28The reply is to be brought to me at Mark's Priory as soon as it comes.
00:46:31Or sooner.
00:46:31I've got an idea, Toddy, that the solution to the Mark's Priory mystery
00:46:34will be found either in that reply or in the locked room or both.
00:46:37And or the bathroom here, there, or anywhere.
00:46:50What was he strangled with, I wonder?
00:46:52And what's become of it?
00:46:53We've made a careful search but found nothing.
00:46:55It's a tack some yards away and dragged in here.
00:46:57You can see, look.
00:46:59Well, Doctor?
00:47:00I've been dead over 12 hours.
00:47:01But I'm not prepared to give the exact time.
00:47:03Oh, that's near enough at the moment.
00:47:04Can the body be moved now?
00:47:05Oh, yes, Doctor.
00:47:06I shall be in the house if you want me.
00:47:08Right.
00:47:08Uh, Toddy?
00:47:09Yes?
00:47:10You'd better see the coroner's officer.
00:47:11You can't get that wrong, can you?
00:47:40You can't get that wrong, can you?
00:47:45What do you want?
00:47:46Those detectives are here again.
00:47:47Mr. Tanner.
00:47:48Why should that worry you?
00:47:50I can't stay here any longer, Lady Leberlin.
00:47:52I can't.
00:47:56Come here.
00:48:02I sent your mother her quarterly check last Monday.
00:48:05I had such a charming letter from her.
00:48:07Two girls are at school and so happy.
00:48:09She said how wonderful it was to feel safe and secure
00:48:12after the bad time she'd been having.
00:48:14Oh, please, Doctor.
00:48:15Now, pull yourself together.
00:48:17And be sensible.
00:48:39Mother, you know I don't like being disturbed when I'm trying to work.
00:48:41I want to know why you went to Scotland Yard this morning.
00:48:44There are things going on in this house that are getting on my nerves.
00:48:48Besides, I wanted to go and I went.
00:48:49If there's anything for the police to find out,
00:48:51they'll find it out without your help.
00:48:53I say, what do you think about Amersham?
00:48:55I'm not going to discuss him with you.
00:48:57Did you say anything about him?
00:48:59No.
00:49:00Nothing in particular.
00:49:01You're staying here tonight, Amersham, her ladyship says,
00:49:04or else there's no check for you tomorrow.
00:49:06Very quarrelsome, they were.
00:49:08Lady Leberlin knew that you overheard them.
00:49:09She knew all right.
00:49:11You should have seen the look she gave me.
00:49:12And this morning she discharged you?
00:49:14Yes, gave me a month's wages at nine o'clock.
00:49:16Very anxious to be rid of me, she was.
00:49:18All right, let alone.
00:49:20I wish to heavens I'd never left India.
00:49:24You are not to go to London without asking me.
00:49:27And you are not to speak to the police
00:49:28about anything that happens in this house.
00:49:30Do you understand?
00:49:32Why did Gildo follow me?
00:49:34He did so on my instructions.
00:49:37Is that sufficient?
00:49:47Just a minute, I want to talk to you.
00:49:52You have an account at the London Accounties Bank,
00:49:54haven't you, Gildo?
00:49:55Very clever of you to find out.
00:49:57Yes, I have.
00:49:58Unusual, isn't it, for a footman
00:49:59to have an account at a London bank?
00:50:01Oh, some of us are very thrifty.
00:50:03A very substantial balance, I hope.
00:50:05Three or four thousand pounds?
00:50:07I've speculated rather wisely.
00:50:13I want you to.
00:50:15Did you hear anything last night?
00:50:18No shouts or screams or anything?
00:50:20No, sir.
00:50:21The night the chauffeur's dad was murdered,
00:50:23did you hear anything then?
00:50:24No, sir.
00:50:25If you remember, I told you so
00:50:27when you were here at the time.
00:50:28Hmm.
00:50:30Oh, pardon me, sir.
00:50:31Sir, I believe I saw you talking
00:50:33to her ladyship's maid, the Jetson.
00:50:35And I believe I saw you listening.
00:50:37She was discharged this morning, sir,
00:50:39so anything she may have told you
00:50:41was most likely spiteful and untrue.
00:50:44Thank you for the tip.
00:50:45I'd like to see Lady Lebanon now.
00:50:47Very good, sir.
00:50:48I will tell her ladyship.
00:50:51Will your inquiries be finished today?
00:50:53I don't think so.
00:50:55Then I'll order a room for you at the White Hot.
00:50:56Thank you, I've already ordered the rooms.
00:50:58Perhaps I might look over the house.
00:51:01Of course, but...
00:51:03I understood the man was killed in the garage.
00:51:05The man?
00:51:05Dr. Edersham.
00:51:06He was killed outside the garage
00:51:07and dragged inside afterwards.
00:51:11Something burning?
00:51:16Oh, I forgot.
00:51:18It's silk.
00:51:19I was making a doll's dress for the bazaar.
00:51:21I found the cuttings on my desk
00:51:22and I broke them.
00:51:26They weren't cuttings.
00:51:28It was all for peace.
00:51:28The scarf that killed Stud,
00:51:30which you say was lost,
00:51:31had in one corner a little metal tag.
00:51:33Mr. Fellerby was quite positive about that.
00:51:34You remember?
00:51:35I do not.
00:51:36Then perhaps this will refresh your memory.
00:51:38This tag that I've just picked out of the fire.
00:51:41Well?
00:51:42It conveys nothing to me.
00:51:43It would have conveyed quite a good deal
00:51:45to Dr. Amersham.
00:51:47I don't understand you.
00:51:50I found several such scarves
00:51:51in Amersham's desk
00:51:52when I searched it yesterday.
00:51:54You know, Lady Leberham,
00:51:55I'm not quite without intelligence.
00:51:57Why do you insist on telling me
00:51:58such obvious lies?
00:52:01Why don't you arrest me?
00:52:03I'm not going to arrest you.
00:52:05You want to ask me questions?
00:52:08I'm afraid I'm not going to be
00:52:09very much help to you.
00:52:12I'm hoping you will be.
00:52:14I should not only ask you questions,
00:52:15Lady Leberham,
00:52:16but I should tell you one or two facts
00:52:17of which you believe
00:52:18and hope that I'm ignorant.
00:52:20That amuses you.
00:52:21Don't grudge me a little amusement
00:52:22in the middle of this horrible day.
00:52:24I understand there's a room upstairs
00:52:25which is always kept locked
00:52:26on your strict instructions.
00:52:28The lumber room.
00:52:29On the first floor.
00:52:30One of the best positions of the house.
00:52:31That's a queer place for a lumber room.
00:52:32That room is never opened.
00:52:34Still, I'd like to see it open.
00:52:40Mr. Tanner,
00:52:41I'll tell you the truth.
00:52:42My husband died in that room.
00:52:44It has never been opened since.
00:52:45I should still like to see it open.
00:52:47I'm afraid you can't.
00:52:48I'm sorry, but I must insist.
00:52:50Be reasonable, Mr. Tanner.
00:52:52What is there in that room
00:52:54that could interest you
00:52:54except a few pictures?
00:52:56I should have thought
00:52:57the scope of your inquiry
00:52:58lay outside this house.
00:52:59You realise I can get a search warrant?
00:53:01That would be an outrageous thing to do.
00:53:03No magistrate in the county
00:53:04would grant you such a thing.
00:53:20Doing a little measuring up?
00:53:22Yes.
00:53:23Have you ever seen inside here?
00:53:25No.
00:53:26Not since the old chap died.
00:53:28There's three feet
00:53:28I can't account for
00:53:29between this room and the next.
00:53:30Is that so?
00:53:31Now, I wonder what that means.
00:53:35I've told you everything I know.
00:53:37When did you last see
00:53:38Dr. Amersham alive?
00:53:38Last evening.
00:53:39I don't know exactly when.
00:53:41He was here at 11 o'clock last night.
00:53:42Probably until within
00:53:43a few minutes of his death.
00:53:44You've been questioning my servants?
00:53:45I've been questioning
00:53:46a number of people.
00:53:47I think you should have
00:53:47come to me first.
00:53:48Well, I have come to you
00:53:49and you can't tell me
00:53:50what time you last saw
00:53:51Dr. Amersham alive.
00:53:52Here's a man murdered.
00:53:53Rather an impressive fact.
00:53:54I don't follow you.
00:53:55Supposing you had a friend
00:53:57who soon after you saw him
00:53:58met with a fatal accident.
00:53:59Wouldn't you say immediately
00:54:00why I was speaking to him
00:54:02only an hour before?
00:54:03Dr. Amersham was not a friend.
00:54:05He was rather a self-willed man
00:54:06who saw no one's point of view
00:54:07but his own.
00:54:08So the fact that he was murdered
00:54:09within a hundred yards
00:54:10of this room
00:54:10really doesn't matter.
00:54:12Isn't that a little insolent,
00:54:14Mr. Tanner?
00:54:15Yes, I suppose it is.
00:54:18But doesn't it strike you,
00:54:19Lady Lebanon,
00:54:20that your own attitude
00:54:21is somewhat peculiar?
00:54:21I won't say arrogant.
00:54:25Why was Dr. Amersham here last night?
00:54:27He came to see me.
00:54:28As a doctor?
00:54:29Yes.
00:54:29At your request?
00:54:31No, he just dropped in.
00:54:32At 11 o'clock last night?
00:54:33I had a touch of neuritis in my arm.
00:54:34But you didn't send for him?
00:54:36No.
00:54:36He just guessed you had neuritis.
00:54:39How long was your husband,
00:54:40the late Lord Lebanon,
00:54:41ill before he died?
00:54:44Fifteen years.
00:54:45Who attended him?
00:54:47Dr. Amersham.
00:54:48Although he was ill
00:54:49for such a long time,
00:54:49he died rather suddenly,
00:54:51didn't he?
00:54:51Yes, he did.
00:54:52I have here a copy
00:54:53of the certificate.
00:54:54It's signed by
00:54:55Lester Charles Amersham.
00:54:56Well, what of it?
00:54:58During his illness,
00:54:59you administered his affairs,
00:55:00you and Dr. Amersham.
00:55:01Yes.
00:55:03Why did you marry again?
00:55:13That is not true.
00:55:14Why did you marry again
00:55:15at Petersfield Parish Church
00:55:16and why did you marry
00:55:17Lester Charles Amersham?
00:55:26Who told you?
00:55:27Somerset House.
00:55:28Why did you marry Amersham
00:55:29three months after
00:55:30your husband died
00:55:31and why did you keep
00:55:32the marriage a secret?
00:55:33He forced me into marriage.
00:55:35Dr. Amersham was an adventurer
00:55:36of the lowest kind.
00:55:37He was a penniless doctor
00:55:38in the Indian Army.
00:55:39He forced me into marriage.
00:55:40Well, you know
00:55:42you can't blackmail people
00:55:43unless you know
00:55:43somebody to their detriment.
00:55:45I shall not tell you.
00:55:50Had you broken the law?
00:55:51I know that he had.
00:55:53He was a thief and a forger.
00:55:54He'd been kicked out of the Army.
00:55:55To revert to your first husband,
00:55:57Mrs. Amersham.
00:55:59I shall be glad
00:56:00if you will call me Lady Lebanon.
00:56:02Who saw the late Lord Lebanon
00:56:03after his death?
00:56:04Dr. Amersham.
00:56:05Did you?
00:56:06No.
00:56:07Anybody else?
00:56:07Gilder and Brooks.
00:56:08Nobody else?
00:56:09No, they did everything.
00:56:10No outsider was called in.
00:56:12I see.
00:56:12And Dr. Amersham
00:56:13signed the certificate.
00:56:15This morning my interest
00:56:16in this case was purely academic.
00:56:18Except for my interest
00:56:19in Dr. Amersham.
00:56:20Now I'm very much interested
00:56:22in you and in this house
00:56:23and in that room
00:56:24which you say
00:56:25has never opened.
00:56:28Have you got the key?
00:56:31I have an idea.
00:56:32I may be wrong.
00:56:33But Dr. Amersham's hold over you
00:56:35had something to do
00:56:36with that room.
00:56:36No.
00:56:38It had something to do
00:56:39with my past.
00:56:41It took an effort
00:56:41to say that
00:56:42and it's not true.
00:56:43You know you're one
00:56:44of those people
00:56:44one reads about.
00:56:45Blood proud.
00:56:47By the way
00:56:48you must be a Lebanon
00:56:48yourself.
00:56:51How clever of you
00:56:52to have guessed that.
00:56:54My husband was my cousin.
00:56:58I go back
00:56:58in the direct line
00:57:00to the fourth baron.
00:57:02Before there was
00:57:03a history of England
00:57:04there was a history
00:57:05of the Lebanons.
00:57:06And it must go on.
00:57:09It would be wicked
00:57:10if the line
00:57:10were to be broken.
00:57:14Well what have you got?
00:57:15Yeah.
00:57:16This will take some beating.
00:57:17Huh?
00:57:17Full house.
00:57:18Ladies on the roof.
00:57:22Well I am glad
00:57:23you fellows
00:57:23are staying the night.
00:57:25I'm afraid my mother
00:57:26is not quite so glad though.
00:57:27No she didn't seem to be.
00:57:28And I'll tell you
00:57:28somebody else
00:57:29who's absolutely sick
00:57:30about your staying.
00:57:30Those are bad.
00:57:33What do you want Gilder?
00:57:34I'm only going to
00:57:35answer the door
00:57:36my lord.
00:57:39How I hate
00:57:40those fellows.
00:57:40Why don't you
00:57:41get rid of them?
00:57:42Oh I do
00:57:42regularly
00:57:43six times a week
00:57:44but they're still here.
00:57:46Inspector Tanner here.
00:57:49Not in earthly.
00:57:50I'm thrown in.
00:57:51Afraid eh?
00:57:52I may have half a crown.
00:57:53Half a crown.
00:57:54Well what do you think?
00:57:54To you sir.
00:57:55I'll take your hand.
00:57:57That means goodbye
00:57:58to my winnings.
00:57:59Here.
00:57:59Is that the reply
00:58:00from India?
00:58:02I beg your pardon.
00:58:04Well Inspector
00:58:05is the news grave or gay?
00:58:07Any nearer solution?
00:58:09Five bob.
00:58:11Three gentlemen
00:58:12will be coming down
00:58:12from London in the morning.
00:58:14I think they'll help
00:58:15me to clear things up.
00:58:16I want you to return
00:58:17to the yard at once
00:58:18with the important message.
00:58:19There you go sir.
00:58:19Do you want anything to eat?
00:58:20No thank you sir.
00:58:21Alright I shall be lost.
00:58:29I've got it.
00:58:30Got what my lord?
00:58:36What's the matter with him?
00:58:40That's what's called
00:58:40inspiration.
00:58:41Oh is that what it is?
00:58:42Well you ought to
00:58:43take something for it.
00:58:44Take this message
00:58:45to Superintendent Lawson
00:58:46at once.
00:58:46It's very urgent.
00:58:47Alright sir.
00:58:47I'll see you at the door.
00:58:48Show me a minute Torrey.
00:58:49There's a short cut
00:58:50to the main road.
00:58:50Turn left at the lodge gates
00:58:51and first right
00:58:52that cuts out the village.
00:58:53Thank you sir.
00:58:58Well goodnight.
00:58:59Goodnight sir.
00:58:59I'll see you at the end of it.
00:59:23I'll see you at the end of it.
00:59:30You sure you're alright?
00:59:31Only just sir.
00:59:32Well now get off at once.
00:59:33I'll be quick all right
00:59:33so don't you worry.
00:59:34I'll send you to stop here
00:59:35than me.
01:00:04I'll see you at the end of it.
01:00:05Not even the smell of an oil rag.
01:00:06We're up against somebody
01:00:07diabolically clever
01:00:08and almost as quick as light.
01:00:09Look.
01:00:14This is a nice place.
01:00:15I don't think.
01:00:16That's the room Lady
01:00:17Neverland won't open.
01:00:18Word will be open tomorrow.
01:00:19I've applied for a search warrant.
01:00:20There's something I ought to tell you.
01:00:21I've discovered there's about
01:00:21three feet unaccounted for
01:00:23between that room and the next one.
01:00:24Well there must be a passageway.
01:00:25Exactly what I thought.
01:00:26Now take a look at this.
01:00:30That's not stone.
01:00:31That's iron painted
01:00:31to look like stone.
01:00:39stone or crows.
01:00:40That's something I didn't discover.
01:00:44Must be a door there
01:00:45but it's fastened on the inside.
01:00:47Well we're going to this later on.
01:00:49Come on Toddy.
01:00:55And there's his lordship
01:00:56playing the piano
01:00:57as happy as you like.
01:00:58He is.
01:00:58He's missed a bit of fun tonight
01:00:59hasn't he?
01:00:59I've had some cases in my life
01:01:01but this one beats them all.
01:01:05Here are you.
01:01:10Hello.
01:01:11What's been happening to you?
01:01:12I fell asleep in my pantry.
01:01:15I fell another time.
01:01:18Oh yes.
01:01:20I went out a little while ago
01:01:21for a smoke.
01:01:23When you were dozing in the pantry
01:01:25you didn't dream about bicycles
01:01:26by any chance.
01:01:27Motor bicycles for choice.
01:01:29No.
01:01:30I dreamt about
01:01:32earthquakes.
01:01:34Now don't you get funny with me.
01:01:37Supposing I decide
01:01:38that you and Gildan
01:01:38know a good deal more
01:01:39about these murders
01:01:40than you're prepared to admit.
01:01:41Supposing I decide
01:01:42to hold you as accessories
01:01:43and take you down to the station
01:01:44tonight.
01:01:45If I've said anything
01:01:46I shouldn't have said
01:01:47I beg your pardon sir.
01:01:54That's giving him
01:01:55something to think about.
01:02:04Is there anything wrong miss?
01:02:06Come down here you.
01:02:12What's the matter
01:02:13with the young lady?
01:02:14I don't know what you mean sir.
01:02:16I heard somebody cry out
01:02:17so I came to see
01:02:17what was wrong.
01:02:19Is there anything
01:02:19the matter miss?
01:02:23Something brushed past me
01:02:24in the passage.
01:02:26Would you please
01:02:26see me to my room?
01:02:32Gilda
01:02:32get me a scotch and soda
01:02:34will you?
01:02:35Do you gentlemen
01:02:36care to join me?
01:02:37Thank you my lord.
01:02:39How's the music
01:02:40coming along?
01:02:40Oh all right.
01:02:41I haven't quite got it yet.
01:02:43I thought I'd come out
01:02:43for a drink and a breather.
01:02:45But I won't go to bed
01:02:46till I do get it.
01:02:47Even if I have to sit up
01:02:48all night at that piano.
01:02:49Well speaking for myself
01:02:50my lord I hope you do.
01:02:51It sounds nice and cheerful.
01:02:52And I'm partial
01:02:53to a little jazz
01:02:53now and again.
01:02:54Jazz.
01:02:55That makes me lord.
01:02:59Gilda
01:02:59how often have I told you
01:03:00to ring the siphon
01:03:01and the canter?
01:03:02Sorry my lord.
01:03:06Well Mr Tanner
01:03:08are we going to have
01:03:09any fun and games tonight?
01:03:10There are 40 men
01:03:11in the grounds.
01:03:12All trained
01:03:13skilled men
01:03:14from Scotland Yard.
01:03:15They arrived by tender
01:03:16about five minutes ago.
01:03:18This house is surrounded.
01:03:20There'll be no
01:03:20murder at Mark's Priory
01:03:21tonight.
01:03:2240 men?
01:03:23What organisation?
01:03:24I should have said 36.
01:03:25I was counting the chauffeurs.
01:03:26Well that's marvellous
01:03:27and very comforting.
01:03:29Cheers.
01:03:30Oh right.
01:03:31Good luck.
01:03:35Tastes that.
01:03:40What is it?
01:03:41I've tasted stuff
01:03:42like that before.
01:03:43Bitter?
01:03:43Yes.
01:03:43Does yours taste bitter?
01:03:44No mine was alright.
01:03:47Mine's okay.
01:03:59There's something on tonight.
01:04:01They want me out of the way.
01:04:03I wonder what
01:04:04they're going to do to you.
01:04:05What?
01:04:06They won't do anything to us.
01:04:07Don't be so sure.
01:04:08Amersham was confident
01:04:09that nothing would happen
01:04:10to him.
01:04:11Yes but...
01:04:12Don't worry.
01:04:13It's me they want.
01:04:20Isla open the door.
01:04:21I want to talk to you.
01:04:29Is anything the matter?
01:04:31Isla.
01:04:31I want you to marry my son.
01:04:34Anything may happen tonight.
01:04:35I may be...
01:04:36I want you to marry him
01:04:38tomorrow morning.
01:04:39But I can't.
01:04:39It's quite impossible.
01:04:40Yes it can be arranged.
01:04:43Listen Isla.
01:04:45He's the last of the Lebanons.
01:04:47Do you realize that?
01:04:50The last link in the chain.
01:04:53A weak link.
01:04:55Have you forgotten
01:04:56that you're a Lebanon yourself?
01:04:58Whatever happens
01:04:58your children must bear the name.
01:05:00Oh please don't ask me to do it.
01:05:02Please don't.
01:05:03If you find your life
01:05:04looking impossible
01:05:06I shall be very understanding.
01:05:11Oh no I can't do it.
01:05:12I can't possibly do it.
01:05:14Young Faraby
01:05:14I told you
01:05:15I should be very understanding.
01:05:18Don't you realize
01:05:19what a wonderful thing
01:05:20you'll be doing.
01:05:21The family will gain
01:05:22a new strength.
01:05:24The Lebanon women
01:05:24have always been
01:05:25greater than the men.
01:05:26Yes but why do you
01:05:27insist that I marry him?
01:05:28There must be hundreds of girls
01:05:29who will be only to...
01:05:32What's that?
01:05:34It's Gilda.
01:05:35Those men are getting
01:05:36out of hand.
01:05:37I may not be able
01:05:38to keep them in control
01:05:39after tonight.
01:05:47Well?
01:05:48There are 40 new men
01:05:49coming down by tender
01:05:49from Scotland Yard.
01:05:50They're in the ground somewhere.
01:05:52If only we could get rid of them.
01:05:53Brooks is getting restless.
01:05:54Says he's going to turn it in.
01:05:55The detectives are frightening him.
01:05:56Do they frighten you?
01:05:57No nothing frightens me.
01:05:58I'm in it now
01:05:59and I'll see it through.
01:06:00Tell Brooks
01:06:00there's a thousand pounds for him
01:06:02if only we can get this business
01:06:03through without discovery.
01:06:06It was as though
01:06:06a bull had been let loose.
01:06:08The furniture was all smashed up.
01:06:11It was just as though
01:06:12there'd been a real wild party.
01:06:13Yes I heard about it.
01:06:14Amersham was in it
01:06:15and those two footmen.
01:06:17I'd hate to think
01:06:18that mother had anything
01:06:19to do with it.
01:06:20As a matter of fact
01:06:20I can't imagine her
01:06:21in an undignified situation.
01:06:23No neither can I.
01:06:24Oh well.
01:06:25I think I go along
01:06:26and finish my symphony.
01:06:27I thought it was a rhapsody.
01:06:28It may turn out to be either.
01:06:30Whichever way it is
01:06:31I'll finish it tonight
01:06:31or bust.
01:06:32Cheerio.
01:06:36What about those forty men
01:06:38in the ground?
01:06:38How about their grub?
01:06:39There are not forty men
01:06:40nor women
01:06:41nor children in the ground.
01:06:42Now will you keep
01:06:42your big mouth shut.
01:06:43Well what's the idea?
01:06:44The idea, Totty,
01:06:45is that I want all the murders
01:06:46of tonight
01:06:47to be committed
01:06:47inside this house.
01:06:48Well how many do you expect?
01:06:50I think you'll be the first.
01:06:51What?
01:06:52Ah, you're pulling more leg.
01:06:59Yes, the gun's gone
01:07:00from my drawer all right.
01:07:01You're damn for not
01:07:01to keep it in a safer place.
01:07:02Why didn't you carry it on you?
01:07:03I'd give a whole lot
01:07:04to be out of this.
01:07:05There's something that happens
01:07:06tonight, you'll see
01:07:06if I'm not right.
01:07:07Did he drink that stuff?
01:07:08Of course he didn't drink it.
01:07:09You made it too strong.
01:07:10I told you he'd taste it.
01:07:10Look at it.
01:07:13Ah, the brothers make a muck.
01:07:15Anything I can do for you?
01:07:17No thanks.
01:07:19I suppose you'll be up all night.
01:07:21Well if you're up all night,
01:07:22sir, I shall be up all night.
01:07:24Well, well, now won't that be nice?
01:07:55Good night.
01:08:22Well, now won't that be nice?
01:08:24Well, now won't that be nice?

01:09:51That was very brave of you. Tanner shouldn't have asked you to do it.
01:09:53I can't believe it was him.
01:10:06Keep away from me. Keep away.
01:10:09You clear out and stay out. I want to talk to Tanner.
01:10:11All right, Toddy. Do as Lord Lemonham wishes.
01:10:19I am clever, you know. You must admit that.
01:10:23Yes, you are.
01:10:28No further.
01:10:31I made those records in London.
01:10:33Four of them.
01:10:36That fooled you.
01:10:39Brooks and Guild have a puzzle too.
01:10:41They couldn't make it out at all.
01:10:43Oh, I fooled them in lots of ways.
01:10:46Won't you sit down?
01:10:47Sit down.
01:10:53I say, don't you think it's about time this line was wiped out?
01:11:00The line? I don't understand you. What do you mean?
01:11:03Well, this sort of thing has been going on for I don't know how many years.
01:11:07You ask mother.
01:11:09She's got all their dates and their names.
01:11:13We Lebanons have always been like this.
01:11:16Father was like that.
01:11:18He was 15 years in that room upstairs.
01:11:21He-he.
01:11:23Mad as a damned hatter.
01:11:24Yes.
01:11:25He was clever too.
01:11:27He could get in and out of that room.
01:11:29Just as he liked.
01:11:30Through the concealed door in the front of the house.
01:11:32So you've found out about it, have you?
01:11:34Brooks and Guild don't know about it.
01:11:36Have you told them?
01:11:38No.
01:11:38They looked after my father too, you know.
01:11:41Just like me.
01:11:42Yes, I guess that.
01:11:44But he never strangled anybody.
01:11:49You know the first time I saw it done?
01:11:52It was in Delhi.
01:11:54Quite a little fellow came up behind a big man.
01:11:57He put a cloth round his neck.
01:11:59And by God he was dead.
01:12:02Fascinating.
01:12:07I tried it on a girl.
01:12:10An Indian girl.
01:12:12She went out like that.
01:12:15Oh, it's wonderful when people die quickly.
01:12:26I got lots of these.
01:12:28I brought them home from India.
01:12:31Amersham took some away from me.
01:12:32But he didn't know I'd got plenty more.
01:12:35I'm not a big fellow, but I'm very strong.
01:12:38Feel my arm.
01:12:43Of course, there was an awful fuss about the Indian girl.
01:12:47Amersham had to go out to India to bring me home.
01:12:50Take your hands out of your pockets.
01:12:52Do you mind if I smoke a cigar?
01:12:55Oh no, of course not.
01:12:57Please do.
01:13:03You know that room Mother didn't want you to see?
01:13:06It's all padded.
01:13:09Rubber cushions round the walls.
01:13:11I have to go there sometimes when I realise things.
01:13:15When you get a little tiresome.
01:13:17I know what I'm saying.
01:13:18When I realise things.
01:13:21Don't touch me.
01:13:23Sit down.
01:13:34I only wanted a light.
01:13:36Oh yes.
01:13:40I'm...
01:13:56I'm...
01:14:01Are you friend or foe?
01:14:03Why what a question, of course I'm a friend!
01:14:08What about those three men who are coming down tomorrow?
01:14:11They're coming down to see me.
01:14:12That's not true.
01:14:14They're coming to see me.
01:14:16To certify me.
01:14:17I know.
01:14:20And I'll fool them.
01:14:22As I fooled you.
01:14:23And Amersham.
01:14:24And all the clever people.
01:14:33I think it's about time the whole line was wiped out.
01:14:36All their shields and escutcheons.
01:14:39Carry on the line.
01:14:40Isn't it ridiculous?
01:14:41Yes, isn't it?
01:14:44You don't like me, do you?
01:14:47Yes, I do.
01:14:50I've been a very good friend of yours.
01:14:52I was nice to you at Scotland Yard, wasn't I?
01:14:55Oh, yes, of course you were.
01:14:58It was clever of me, wasn't it?
01:15:00I mean, it's the last thing you would have expected.
01:15:03I killed Amersham and then slipped away before they could find him.
01:15:06Yes, that was a stroke.
01:15:09Isla looked awfully like that Indian girl tonight.
01:15:12I came up behind her and I nearly got her.
01:15:14You heard her scream, didn't you?
01:15:16Why did you?
01:15:18And why were you so unkind a stud?
01:15:24I'm awfully sorry about him.
01:15:28He was such a decent fellow.
01:15:31He was dressed like an Indian.
01:15:32I had to.
01:15:33I nearly got Amersham the other night.
01:15:36By God, he was scared.
01:15:45You're afraid?
01:15:47No.
01:15:48Oh, yes, you are.
01:15:50I always frighten people.
01:15:52You're not frightening me.
01:15:53Now, be a good lad and give me that gun.
01:15:56Why do you want to fool above with a thing like that?
01:15:58Well, there are lots of things I could do with it.
01:16:00I could fool everybody.
01:16:02I could fool Mother.
01:16:04And you.
01:16:09What are you doing?
01:16:11Give me the revolver.
01:16:12No, I won't.
01:16:16Give it to me, I say.
01:16:17I've always wanted a pistol.
01:16:19You know, I've asked one dozens of times.
01:16:21Put it away.
01:16:32No.
01:16:46Well?
01:16:49My God, what a tragedy.
01:16:57A thousand years of being great.
01:17:01Gone out like a candle in the wind.
01:17:16Yeah, sorry.
01:17:19We have a crucifix.
01:17:20Once you're based on, I can't wait.
01:17:20That's a beautiful soul showing beautifulego.
01:17:21That, I have exhausted the world.
01:17:21I will love you, said no one knows what I'm about.
