00:22I don't know what to do.
00:33I don't know.
01:11I don't know.
01:46I don't know.
02:06I don't know.
02:15I don't know.
02:20I don't know.
02:44I don't know.
02:49I don't know.
03:10Come on, darling child.
03:13This is the precise opposite of fun.
03:17Industry, aristocracy, and the blessed foreign office, all in our house, at the same time, should never have agreed to
03:23it.
03:23It was your suggestion.
03:25And it does not return to being at our house until the end of the agreement you struck with the
03:31coots.
03:31It was a great day, lady Caterham.
03:32Good evening.
03:33Good evening.
03:33Oh, look.
03:34There they are.
03:36What do you think, ladies?
03:38Marvelous.
03:39A superb idea of yours, lady Caterham.
03:42You're bringing us all together.
03:43Ma was just saying how much she adores all these masters.
03:46Oh, yes.
03:47At all.
03:48Will you be joining us for bridge?
03:50Oh, I fear not, lady Caterham.
03:52Oh, why?
03:54It was devised by an American.
03:56On a boat.
03:59Have you seen George Law, Max?
04:01See, the old point of this evening is for the United to talk.
04:05His foreign office, my steel factories, in perfect union for a top-secret project.
04:12Oswald, it's not a secret if you keep telling everyone.
04:15No, dear.
04:16Quite right, dear.
04:17Whoa, whoa, whoa.
04:23Treadwell.
04:26Come on, dear.
04:28Ah!
04:29Come on, Max.
04:30Did he just thank you for it, Bob?
04:32I'm afraid so, my lady.
04:33Hmm.
04:34I must never thank staff bundle.
04:37Where would it end?
04:38What do we think this top-secret project is that they're talking about?
04:41Well, if I learned one thing from your dear departed father, it was this.
04:44It doesn't do to ask too many questions.
04:47And that marries the difference between you and I.
04:51Lady Vincent, you look startling.
05:04Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
05:05Stop, we're in a hurry.
05:06Ronnie Devereaux.
05:09Bundle, you spotted us there.
05:10How could I miss you both in those masks?
05:13How's life in the India office?
05:14Hmm, still full of people not entirely sure where India is.
05:18Bill Eversley.
05:19I know it's you under there.
05:20Hello, Bundle.
05:21Why are so many of you wearing the same masks?
05:23It's a foreign office agreement.
05:24All the chaps that work in government.
05:26And why are you both hiding clocks under your jackets?
05:30Jerry Wade hasn't made it down before noon or a week for breakfast.
05:34So we thought we'd fix that.
05:35But one's the word.
05:36I hope you're not both being mean to poor Jerry.
05:38You wouldn't call him poor Jerry if you had to work with him.
05:40Can we please put these in place before anyone else spots us?
05:44On with your japes.
05:45You boys.
05:47Isn't she just it?
05:50Come on.
05:54Hello, Socks.
05:55Oh.
05:55Hello, Bundle.
05:57Gosh, you startled me.
05:58Oh, your approach was so very subtle.
06:01Did you see Ronnie and Bill just now?
06:03I did.
06:04They are up to something very subtle.
06:08Do you explain?
06:09Jerry Wade.
06:10I would recognize that face anywhere.
06:12Lady Ali.
06:14Socks is lendingly welcome.
06:15Oh, good lord.
06:16Thanks, too, this year.
06:17Mm-hmm.
06:18I was hoping I'd find a moment with you.
06:20What sort of a moment would that be?
06:23You know, they've put me in your bedroom while I'm here.
06:26Mm.
06:27While Ma and I slummit in the garden house.
06:30I hope you're enjoying it.
06:33You look absolutely radiant to me, Bundle.
06:37As do you.
06:40Tommy always said you were born in a dinner jacket.
06:43I do miss your brother on nights like these.
06:47I miss him far more often than that.
06:50He'd be tickled pink seeing how you turned out.
06:56I hope so.
06:58I know so.
07:02Ask me to dinner.
07:04No.
07:06You never did stand on ceremony, did you?
07:07Mm-mm.
07:08Mm-mm.
07:09Life is far too short.
07:11We've all learned that the hard way.
07:13Mm.
07:13Mm-mm.
07:15Lady Eileen.
07:16Mm?
07:16Would you do me the great honor of allowing me to take you to dinner?
07:20Why, Jerry Wade, what a surprise.
07:24When?
07:25Tuesday next, I suppose I could.
07:28It's been by just before six.
07:31That would be perfect.
07:33Remind me, how do you feel about questions?
07:35If I were to have one to put to you on Tuesday.
07:43What sort of a question?
07:46Perhaps the sort that one might hope would be answered in the affirmative.
07:55Jerry, wait, are you...
07:57Wait, look.
07:58Wait.
07:59What on earth are you doing?
08:01Lady Eileen, you of course remember the Right Honourable George Lomax, Undersecretary for the Foreign Office.
08:07Oh, George.
08:08Lady Eileen.
08:09I do apologize.
08:11You've grown up.
08:13Mr. Lomax, I trust you're enjoying Sir Oswald's party?
08:17Oh, absolutely.
08:18But of course, it wouldn't be the same without this glorious house.
08:21Mm.
08:22I expressly instructed you to stay at the side of Lady Coop for the entire evening.
08:27She must be watered, she must be fed, she must be charmed at all times.
08:31In order for me to cement my bond with Sir Oswald, you are ignoring your task.
08:35We need happy coats.
08:37Of course.
08:39It's love.
08:41Do excuse me, Lady Eileen.
08:43Duty calls.
08:44Mm.
08:45Good luck, Mr. Wade.
08:47I very much look forward to hearing your question on Tuesday.
08:49As I look forward to hearing your answer.
08:51Lady Eileen, charmed.
08:53You play Sir Borges or do anything Lady Coop's tomorrow.
08:57Anything.
09:00Anything.
09:25I think we can be very, very proud of this.
09:38And I'm dummy, is that right?
09:39Always.
09:41That's it, Jack.
09:41These gentlemen enjoy reminding me, Lady Coop, that I didn't quite make the grade for civil service.
09:47However, I remain a very valued partygoer, and my Charleston is considered second to none.
09:52It's the talk of all the best houses.
09:54Isn't that right, Lady Eileen?
09:56Absolutely, Jimmy.
09:58We shall expect a display.
09:59As you know, my natural modesty would normally forbid.
10:02But for you, Buckton, absolutely.
10:05Lady Coop, I do believe that sort of thing may be ever so slightly frowned upon.
10:11Not by me.
10:13The last person who called me a cheat regretted it for the rest of their days.
10:31Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
11:01Oh, oh, oh, oh.
11:31Oh, oh, oh, oh.
11:35Everyone.
11:36Just so subtle.
12:08Feeling a little worse for wear?
12:11What about you, Bill?
12:13I feel awful.
12:14Just them dry toast and liver salts, Treadwell.
12:17I took the liberty of having some prepared, sir.
12:20Come on.
12:21Oh, good lord.
12:23Youth.
12:24Good morning, everybody.
12:26Ooh.
12:27A few thick heads in here.
12:29Good morning, socks.
12:31Good morning, boys.
12:32Good morning.
12:32Morning.
12:33Good morning.
12:33There you go.
13:06What's that dreadful noise?
13:08Oh.
13:10Lady Eileen.
13:12Lady Caterham.
13:13Good morning.
13:14That, Lady Cote, is the sound of Jerry Wade proving he will sleep through anything.
13:19Oh, well, as the point is now proven.
13:21Treadwell, can you attend to that infernal racket?
13:26Immediately on a trip.
13:31Mr. Wade?
13:42What is Treadwell doing up there?
13:45Fine.
13:46I will tend to those blasted alarms myself.
13:49I'm holding you two responsible.
13:56I'll just wait, Treadwell.
13:57Lady Eileen, you mustn't.
13:58Treadwell, do you mind?
14:07Shut them off.
14:11Treadwell, shut them off.
14:16Treadwell, shut them off.
14:17This must have been quite a shock, Lady Eileen.
14:19May I ask, were any of you aware he took a draught to help him sleep?
14:24No, that doesn't make any sense.
14:25He was a champion sleeper going back years.
14:27That was the whole point in your prank.
14:29It's possible, Lady Eileen, that Mr. Wade's excellent sleeping was the result of sleeping draughts.
14:34Whoops.
14:35Heart fingers. Apologies.
14:37That could have been unfortunate.
14:40Let's check this to make sure.
14:43Sorry.
14:45Sorry.
14:49It's not valuable, is it?
14:52You're not listening to me.
14:54He didn't use them.
14:55Why would he?
14:56He fought at the Somme bundle.
14:59He wouldn't be the only chap who's sore enough to keep him awake at night.
15:03No, in Tommy's letters from the front, he'd always joke that even the largest explosion couldn't wake Jerry.
15:08The question is, was this a terrible accident?
15:10Alcohol and medications are never a happy mix.
15:13Or, forgive me, Lady Eileen, deliberately self-inflicted.
15:20You're saying he killed himself?
15:25Because that's not the Jerry Wade I know.
15:29Can you tell him?
15:31Em, he...
15:33He has been under rather a lot of pressure at work.
15:37Jerry reports to Lomax, and Lomax was very agitated about him during last night, went off successfully.
15:42It's fair to say that Jerry hadn't been quite himself recently, with all the pressure.
15:50Don't you think?
15:55I don't know.
15:56Girl, you work more closely with him.
15:59Well, an inquest will establish the facts.
16:02We'll have the body taken away shortly.
16:06Thank you for attending so swiftly, Doctor.
16:08Treadwell, I'll show you out.
16:12This is very tragic.
16:14Tudgy business.
16:16Erm, apologies again, about the gloss.
16:21Erm, yeah, I'm all done, I think.
16:23Er, because I've, erm, done the bed.
16:26Done the bedside.
16:27Did the bottle.
16:29Did the doors.
16:31I suppose I could have a bash at the wardrobes or the windows, if you like.
16:39What do you think?
16:40You have done this before.
16:42Well, that's funny you should ask that.
16:43No, no, I haven't.
16:44No, er, usually they send old Deakins, but he's, he's away in Eastbourne, he goes every year, him and his
16:48wife.
16:48I mean, what, what are the chances of that?
16:51It's rare that we get one of these.
16:53Yeah?
16:54So they finally let me off the leash.
16:56Flying solo.
16:57It's quite exciting.
17:02I mean, you see.
17:04It does.
17:05It's very tragic.
17:08Erm, I'll finish up.
17:17It did not take his own life.
17:21He was making plans for next week.
17:22How do you know that?
17:23Because they were plans with me.
17:28I can't.
17:29Bundle, I know it's all for the cocktail plate, but it was rightly seen rather burdened by the work recently.
17:43Why are there so many clocks on the mental piece?
17:46I thought you hit them.
17:50Did you two do that?
17:55What do you want now, Treville?
17:56The coots, Lady Eileen, they appear to be departing.
18:01Recipitously.
18:02Lady Caterham requests your assistance.
18:26enar Sometimes
18:27This has been a promise for me.
18:30I need a return-
18:30Not because of these two things were about to be attacked.
18:33Our responders were places to be dirty in this cork underway.
18:34Nausea and we're not capable of creating our living selves.
18:42There you are.
18:43Jimmy, do you have to be such a galumphing elephant?
18:45Is it true about Jerry Wade?
18:54Yes.
18:57Good Lord.
19:02Are you all right?
19:05Someone said you found it.
19:12Okay.
19:16Fine.
19:22I don't think any of us are fine, Buntle.
19:32He was the absolute best of us.
19:35He really was.
19:59I don't think any of us are fine.
20:06Oh, no.
20:07Ah!
20:07Boots!
20:08Flying the nest early, I understand.
20:10Lady Catrum.
20:12Yes.
20:13My wife is much affected by this tragic event.
20:16It's tragic.
20:18Humbug.
20:20I beg your pardon?
20:21I find they soothe in times of difficulty.
20:24Thank you, no.
20:25Oh, Lord.
20:27I do realize that we have three more days remaining on our agreement.
20:31We are not a family prone to refunds, I'm afraid.
20:34No.
20:36Didn't think you would be.
20:39Foreign office.
20:40Wasn't he the lad who died?
20:42He was a dear family friend.
20:45He was a dear family friend.
20:45All crates and cases packed.
20:47Ready for departure.
20:47I have the list.
20:48Good Bateman.
20:49Excellent secretary, this lad.
20:52Everyone should have a Bateman.
20:54We are acquainted.
20:56You were at school with Gerry.
20:58And my son, Thomas.
21:00Two years below.
21:01On a scholarship.
21:02Paid for by us.
21:05This is terrible business all around.
21:10Well, I wish you swift transport and safe travels.
21:14Coots.
21:15Pongo.
21:20Those people make my kidneys ache.
21:24What's she call you, Bateman?
21:25Pongo?
21:26They think they're better than us, sir.
21:28By virtue of birth alone.
21:29Tell me, Bateman.
21:31Who is forced to rent out a draughty decrepit house to pay the bills?
21:35And who can afford to party in this crumbling pile and walk away?
21:39I can access this world any time I flourish my cheque book.
21:44See, they say you can't buy class.
21:46But it's the cheapest, most readily available purchase in the whole of England.
21:51Come on.
21:54Thank you, Bateman.
21:55Thank you, Bateman.
21:57Thank you, Bateman.
22:17So let's go.
22:21Hello?
22:24What're we doing?
22:26Here we go.
25:06No!
25:07Sorry, you're not.
25:08You must allow her her grief.
25:37My dear Lorraine.
25:39I will be in town on Monday.
25:42Let's talk again then.
25:45I shouldn't have mentioned seven dials to you tonight.
25:48I was so tired I could barely think.
25:50Please forget I ever said...
26:08What does seven dials mean to you, Mark?
26:11Oh, I can't keep up with all these new drinks.
26:14I was thinking more of an object or a place perhaps.
26:19Oh, the slums?
26:20Seven dials?
26:21Slum district in town, yes.
26:24No, I passed through there once in error.
26:26I was furious.
26:27London district, really?
26:28You're not thinking of going there, are you?
26:31Not sure.
26:32Well, then let me be sure for you.
26:34Do not.
26:34Horrible area.
26:35Dangerous.
26:36Why were you even talking about it?
26:40Everyone seems to think that Jerry killed himself.
26:43I just cannot believe that.
26:47Mundell, I am genuinely sorry about poor Jerry.
26:54I know how fond you were of each other.
26:58But we can never truly know the contents of another person's mind.
27:03No, but you see, I can, because he told me.
27:07We were to have dinner on Tuesday.
27:12I think he may have been about to propose.
27:18Without mentioning it to me.
27:21Why would he be arranging that if he were thinking of taking his own life?
27:27Well, I think he may have been killed.
27:34That is a very serious accusation, Bundle.
27:38I know.
27:44Well, who would wish harm on such a handsome boy?
27:49One of the guests at the party, perhaps?
27:53Lady Coote?
27:55He was assigned to her, but she didn't seem very happy with him at the end of the night.
27:58My darling, we're all unhappy.
28:00It doesn't mean we have to break out the poison.
28:01I'm not going to rest until I find out what happened to him, Ma.
28:05And if I were to forbid you from embarking on such an endeavour?
28:11Don't we both know I would ignore you?
28:18Have you spoken to Emily today?
28:22Emily?
28:24Oh, the maid.
28:25No.
28:26Why would I?
28:27I saw her talking to Lady Coote before they left.
28:29It seemed she'd been crying.
28:32Well, Lady Coote has that effect on me, too.
28:35Oh, I'm serious.
28:38Mates do tend towards crying in my experience.
28:41They don't mind if you're mean to them.
28:43You sound just like your father.
28:53I can't believe Jerry's gone.
28:57Too much, Dad.
29:01Too much.
29:08Fresh flowers for a darling, then.
29:25She's gone.
29:29Really?
29:46But I think she doesn't matter.
29:46She's been loving me.
29:46That's the smell.
29:46I feel white.
29:47She's gone.
29:48She's gone.
30:25Why would we have put a clock on the lawn?
30:28As part of your pranks?
30:30Like the clocks on the mantelpiece?
30:32One on the lawn would hardly have woken him.
30:35Then how did it get there?
30:37Bundle, I swear, I have no idea.
30:39Then how would you explain it?
30:42I can't.
30:47There's something you should know.
30:48Bill and I didn't leave any clocks on a mantelpiece that night.
30:51We hid them all around the room.
30:54You mean someone moved them?
30:57I assume Jerry found them when he went to bed that night.
31:01But if he found them, why would he not switch the alarms off?
31:05Also, we hid eight alarm clocks around his room that night,
31:08but there were only seven arranged on the mantelpiece the following morning.
31:13The one on the lawn must be number eight.
31:15Morning, this is precisely what's been bothering me.
31:18Someone must have been in Jerry's room.
31:20After you left, but before we found his body.
31:24It's possible.
31:25It's more than possible.
31:27We have to find the truth.
31:29Ronnie, who would have wanted to kill Jerry?
31:33If you have any idea, you must tell me.
31:36The coroner's inquest is on Tuesday in Market Basing.
31:38If they don't declare foul play,
31:39the police will drop the case and Jerry will never get justice.
31:43We owe it to him.
31:46He liked you.
31:50He respected you.
31:53Fine, we'll go to the inquest together.
31:55In the meantime, don't mention this to anyone else.
32:00All right.
32:02Look, I have to go now.
32:04Take care of yourself, bundle.
32:06Toodle pip.
32:20You've spoken to all of your men?
32:22I have, my lady.
32:24And nobody noticed the sleeping draught bottle
32:26on Mr. Wade's bedside table at any point during his stay?
32:29Correct.
32:30The bedside table was always clear,
32:32ready for his morning tea.
32:34The staff were aware, from his visits over the years,
32:37that Mr. Wade liked to sleep late every morning.
32:40And to the best of my knowledge,
32:42it was without medicinal assistance.
32:44And did you, or anybody else,
32:47move the alarm clocks in Mr. Wade's room?
32:50That night or first thing that morning?
32:52Certainly not, Lady Eileen.
32:54You certain of that?
32:55What a gentleman does in his own room,
32:58with however many clocks he chooses,
33:00is his own affair.
33:04Where might I find Emily?
33:08Oh, a lady.
33:10Please, sit to me.
33:13You're not in any trouble.
33:14I just want to ask you something.
33:20I saw Lady Cook talking to you before she left.
33:24You seemed upset.
33:27Was it something she said?
33:32Something you'd seen?
33:33I don't want to speak ill of anybody.
33:35Anything you say will stay between us.
33:36Will it though?
33:37I've seen in other houses what happens to maids who fall out of favour.
33:40You have my word, Emily.
33:42I hope you know that's worth something.
33:47I was assigned to Lady Cute
33:50when they arrived at the start of the summer.
33:54And how was Lady Cute?
33:56She's very demanding.
33:58And she never says the same thing twice,
34:00like she'll ask you for one thing,
34:01and then when you bring it,
34:02she says she'll ask you for the other.
34:03And why are you being such an idiot?
34:05I see.
34:08Keep going.
34:08You know how long I've been here.
34:11You looked after your mother when your father died.
34:14And we'll never forget that, Emily.
34:16Lady Cute made me feel like I was losing my marbles,
34:21blaming me for anything that wasn't right.
34:29The sleeping draught bottle.
34:32It was yours.
34:34I wasn't sleeping.
34:35And, um...
34:36Oh, God.
34:37I was so tired, and I just broke,
34:39and I told Lady Cute she was costing me sleep,
34:40and she gave me the bottle
34:42and said it would help,
34:43but that she expected me to do better.
34:45You gave it to Gerry Wade?
34:46No, of course not, my lady.
34:47I've never even passed more than two words with him,
34:49God rest his soul.
34:52No, it was taken.
34:54From in here, the night of the party,
34:55I came back,
34:56and it was just gone.
34:59So who do you think could have given it to him?
35:01Well, he couldn't have taken it.
35:03He wouldn't be up here.
35:05And besides,
35:07hardly anyone knew I had it.
35:11It was ever so strong.
35:14You were only supposed to take the tiniest amount,
35:16and...
35:16Well, if he had the whole bottle, well...
35:19No wonder he gave out.
35:24That whole inquest was a sham.
35:26Death by Mr. Venture.
35:28It's a disgrace. I hope you're happy.
35:31Tell him about the clock, so it made no difference.
35:33It might have made him give more weight to Emily's evidence
35:35about the sleeping giraffe that killed Gerry.
35:37Instead, they've closed the case.
35:39No, Bundle, just leave it alone.
35:42I want to look at that man.
35:43Which man?
35:45Over there, staring at us.
35:47Do you know him?
35:48No.
35:53What the blazes is he doing?
35:54Shall we go inside?
35:55Why would we go inside?
35:56You asked me to lunch.
35:58Oh, no, that was just a ruse.
36:00I thought you'd realise that.
36:01And why are we here?
36:03Lady Coot!
36:04What a surprise!
36:05Lady Eileen.
36:06Mr. Devereaux, I trust you're in good order.
36:08Not entirely, no.
36:10Why didn't you inform the inquest of what you knew
36:11concerning Gerry Wade's death?
36:12I'm sure I don't know what you mean.
36:14The sleeping giraffe they found in his room
36:16was yours, not Gerry's.
36:19You gave it to Emily.
36:21And yet you chose not to share that information
36:22with the coroner.
36:23So because of you,
36:24the police will not investigate any further.
36:26You will forgive me, Lady Eileen.
36:27It does none of us any good
36:29to revisit such a tragic event.
36:31But where that poor boy got his poison
36:33and what he did with it
36:34is not my concern.
36:35I must express it.
36:38I'm not entirely sure
36:39what you're trying to achieve.
36:40The truth?
36:42None of this adds up.
36:45Look.
36:47I found this letter
36:48in the writing bureau.
36:50Gerry was writing it
36:51to his sister Lorraine.
36:54In it, he says
36:55he never should have mentioned
36:56Seven Dials.
37:00And what do you suppose that means?
37:01I don't know.
37:02But it has to be connected, isn't it?
37:04Seven clocks on the mantelpiece,
37:06seven dials.
37:07Someone arranged them like that,
37:08deliberately.
37:09If we can find out what it means,
37:10we can find out who killed Gerry.
37:11The coroner concluded death
37:13by misadventure,
37:13and that has to be an entrance.
37:14Hang the coroner.
37:15I am not going to stop
37:16until I find out how Gerry died.
37:17He's gone.
37:19Bundle, he's gone.
37:21There's nothing you can do.
37:22What has it added to you, anyway?
37:24Gerry Wade pulled my brother's body
37:26off the battlefield.
37:28He was the closest friend
37:29my brother ever had,
37:30even in death.
37:33He was a source of incredible comfort
37:34for both me and my family.
37:40And he...
37:41I was more than fond of him, Ronnie.
37:46I owe it to him.
37:47If there is even the remotest possibility
37:49of foul play to get to the truth.
37:55Leave this with me.
37:56Let me have a few discreet conversations,
37:58but please, Mark,
37:59be careful who you speak to about this.
38:01Gerry wouldn't have wanted you
38:02in any danger.
38:05Gerry, come on.
38:06I'll be right back.
38:12I'll be right back.
38:22I'll be right back.
40:44Oh, my God.
41:17What is it, Treadwell?
41:19Can a woman not have time alone with our plants?
41:23We are in receipt of an anonymous note addressed to Lady Eileen, the lady.
41:28Are we indeed?
41:30Well, read it out.
41:32Your ladyship may prefer to read it herself.
41:35No, a ladyship does not prefer. Read on, ma'am.
41:41Keep your nose out of seven dials, or it will be the end of you.
41:59Oh, my God.
42:20Are you all right?
42:42Ronnie?
42:42Ronnie?
42:46You've been shot!
42:48Who did this?
42:50Tiles.
42:53Seven. Tiles.
42:55Yes.
42:58I don't know what you're saying!
43:01Tell him!
43:02Jimmy.
43:03Fester.
43:05Seven.
43:07Tiles.
43:15I don't know.
43:17Ronnie!
43:20Ronnie!
43:22No!
43:23Ronnie!
43:23No!
43:24No!
43:25No!
43:28No!
43:29No!
43:31No!
43:32No!
43:33No!
43:34No!
43:34No!
43:35No!
43:35No!
43:35No!
43:35No!
