00:02:02Oh, I enjoyed it.
00:02:04Oh, Teddy, let's go through again.
00:02:06No, no, no, you'll make yourself feel.
00:02:07Besides, you've been around three times already.
00:02:09We'll have our teas now.
00:02:10The usual place, dear.
00:02:12The usual place.
00:02:12Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:02:13Ha, ha, ha.
00:02:17Ha, ha, ha.
00:02:20Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:02:27Ha, ha, ha.
00:02:34Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:02:38Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:02:57Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:03:16And what the sensible people put in it.
00:03:18Oh, Teddy, you'll spoil me.
00:03:20You're worth spoiling.
00:03:21Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:03:24Here we are.
00:03:26Uh, spoon, Teddy.
00:03:29Oh, sorry.
00:03:29It's all right, dear.
00:03:31It takes a big man to let an old woman teach him good manners.
00:03:34Who are you calling old?
00:03:35I wouldn't change you for 50 younger ones.
00:03:38It's been such a wonderful year.
00:03:40And coming back here again has reminded me of so much.
00:03:44You've got a lot of memories here, haven't you?
00:03:47It's been our second honeymoon, Teddy Bear.
00:03:50Our second honeymoon.
00:04:14Well, here we are, safe and sound.
00:04:20That's Philip's car, isn't it?
00:04:22Uh, yes, dear.
00:04:23What do you want here?
00:04:25Hello, Emmy.
00:04:26Looking better, Mum, aren't you?
00:04:27Mm, just a little tired.
00:04:29A little tired after the journey, Emmy.
00:04:30I should take her indoors and look out.
00:04:31Ha, ha.
00:04:32I'll, uh, put the car away, Molly.
00:04:34Oh, yes, thank you, dear.
00:04:41Good afternoon, Mrs. Bear.
00:04:42Oh, Philip.
00:04:43And there's your chair waiting for you, Mum.
00:04:46So just you sit back and rest yourself,
00:04:48and I'll bring you a nice cup of tea.
00:04:50All right.
00:04:51Toddle, Emmy.
00:04:52Toddle.
00:04:53Ha, ha, ha.
00:04:57Good to be home again.
00:05:00Well, Philip, you got my letter.
00:05:03Yes, I did.
00:05:05I, uh...
00:05:06With all respect, Mrs. Bear,
00:05:08I don't feel happy about it.
00:05:10When I instruct my lawyer, Philip,
00:05:12it's because I want him to carry out my wishes.
00:05:14Why must you make another will?
00:05:16The one you made just after your marriage seems more than fair to me.
00:05:20Your husband gets this house, and your money goes back where it belongs.
00:05:24Back to the family.
00:05:26Back to my sister, you mean.
00:05:28Who else?
00:05:28She's your only relative.
00:05:30I haven't seen Dora for 20 years.
00:05:32She's a wealthy woman now.
00:05:34Her husband left her an enormous fortune.
00:05:37No, this little girl of influenza worried me.
00:05:40If anything happened, and I'm a good bit older than Teddy,
00:05:43I must know that he gets all my money.
00:05:46He's entitled to it.
00:05:47I feel bound to remind you, Mrs. Bear,
00:05:49that your money came from a family business.
00:05:52Don't you think it should stay in the family?
00:05:54Teddy's my family.
00:05:56All the family I've got.
00:05:59Mrs. Bear, has Edward been pressing you to make this will?
00:06:02Indeed he hasn't.
00:06:03Teddy doesn't even know about the first will.
00:06:05I never told him.
00:06:07You're always very unfair to Teddy, Philip.
00:06:09I've always thought your marriage to Edward was a mistake.
00:06:12Oh.
00:06:14Hello, Philip.
00:06:15Good afternoon, Edward.
00:06:18Look.
00:06:19Got a surprise for you.
00:06:22Oh, pieces of my patchwork quilt.
00:06:24You clever boy.
00:06:25Brought you something else, too.
00:06:28How are you, Mona and I at home?
00:06:29Better?
00:06:30Yes, but still very languid, Teddy, dear.
00:06:33No energy.
00:06:34Influenza pulls down the constitution.
00:06:36Makes you feel very depressed.
00:06:41I know how to cure my wife's depression, Philip.
00:06:47Ah, the princess of the teacups.
00:06:49Where shall I put it, sir?
00:06:51Put it there, Amy.
00:07:00Have you stained your teeth?
00:07:02Thank you, but if you'll excuse me, I must be on my way.
00:07:06Now, don't forget, Philip.
00:07:08I want it here tomorrow morning, ready to sign.
00:07:11Yes, Mrs. Bear.
00:07:12I can see you've made your mind up.
00:07:15I'll be up in the morning.
00:07:20Don't bother to show me out, Edward.
00:07:21I can see you're tired.
00:07:26What's the matter with him?
00:07:27He ought to get up, dear, when visitors go.
00:07:29Oh, I can't stick him.
00:07:31He was just as rude to notice.
00:07:33Um, what, uh, brought Philip here anyway?
00:07:37Hmm?
00:07:39Nosey Parker, was he?
00:07:40That's a good match, Teddy.
00:07:41You have an eye for colour, haven't you, dear?
00:07:43Hmm.
00:07:44Why did he come?
00:07:45I want him to call, dear.
00:07:47I must make a will, Teddy.
00:07:51I will, Moni.
00:07:52I'm so pleased with my pieces.
00:07:54Clever Teddy Bear.
00:07:56Always thinking of little ways to make me happy, aren't you, dear?
00:07:59Nothing's ever too much trouble.
00:08:00Well, I look after Moni today, and...
00:08:03Moni looks after me tomorrow.
00:08:05Come on.
00:08:16There.
00:08:17Isn't it nice to have them home again?
00:08:19The house did seem so empty without Mr. and Mrs. Bear.
00:08:23There you are, Simon.
00:08:25Go along.
00:08:26Drink it up.
00:08:28I won't have you making a will, Moni.
00:08:30I'll tell you when we got married there was no need.
00:08:33If you outlive me, you have what I've got.
00:08:35If I outlive you, I have what you've got.
00:08:39That's the law.
00:08:41It's Dora.
00:08:42She's no right to anything.
00:08:43She's a rich, interfering, busybody.
00:08:46I told Philip how I felt about Dora.
00:08:49Listen, Moni.
00:08:50Next of kin, that's what you've got to be.
00:08:51It's simple.
00:08:52Leave it like that.
00:08:53Next of kin.
00:08:54Got to take care of Dora.
00:08:56Keep the money in the family.
00:08:58Said it over and over again.
00:09:00Anyway, my ticker's wonky.
00:09:01I've told you before.
00:09:03You'll be here long after I'm dead and gone.
00:09:05Then you can leave it to a cat's home.
00:09:06Home.
00:09:08I got my way, Teddy.
00:09:10I made Philip say I meant what I said.
00:09:14Must make a will.
00:09:16It's essential.
00:09:18Listen, Moni.
00:09:21Promise me you won't make a will.
00:09:24I'll phone young Philip and tell him it's off.
00:09:26Coffee.
00:09:27Too late.
00:09:28I can't, Teddy.
00:09:30It's done.
00:09:32Must look after my family, Teddy Bear.
00:09:36All the family I've got.
00:09:41Bringing it for me to sign tomorrow.
00:09:47Sorry about that, Moni.
00:09:50I'm sorry you did it.
00:09:53Really, I am.
00:09:56Coffee's in the drawing room, Mon.
00:09:59Coffee, Teddy.
00:10:01Mm-hmm.
00:10:15That's right, dear.
00:10:16I do like good manners and never forget your old student.
00:10:20Well, I've got a good teacher.
00:10:23Don't forget yourself, dear.
00:10:25Keep up with Moni.
00:10:26I'll watch it.
00:10:31Teddy, get off the magic carpet.
00:10:33Let's go for a ride.
00:10:36Keep Moni awake.
00:10:38All right, Moni.
00:10:39Where do you want to go to tonight, then, eh?
00:10:43Japan.
00:10:45Page 16.
00:10:50Japan for the blossoms, eh?
00:10:52Lovely blossoms in Japan.
00:10:56Lovely blossoms.
00:10:59Would you like to marry a gay sugar, Teddy?
00:11:04I'm satisfied.
00:11:07Moni, I'll tell you where we'll go tonight.
00:11:09Bermuda.
00:11:10Look.
00:11:11There.
00:11:16Bermuda.
00:11:18Lovely.
00:11:20Come on, Moni.
00:11:22Drink up.
00:11:24Don't disappoint the boy.
00:11:58Come on, Moni.
00:12:08What?
00:12:09Library book.
00:12:11Didn't like it.
00:12:14Silly.
00:12:16Bet you'll need another one tonight, won't you?
00:12:19Don't let's leave Bermuda.
00:12:22It's sunny there.
00:12:24Go to Bermuda another night, Moni.
00:12:26Don't want to drag you up and down that hill again.
00:12:31It's only half past seven now.
00:12:33Library isn't closed late o'clock.
00:12:36That's a quarter of an hour there.
00:12:38Ten minutes to choose your book.
00:12:40A quarter of an hour home.
00:12:42Home.
00:13:03Oh, Amy, Mrs. Bear's gonna have a nice little snooze.
00:13:06Ah, that's good, sir.
00:13:07That's what she needs.
00:13:09Yes, if Mrs. Bear wants you, she'll ring her bell,
00:13:10so don't you disturb her or I'll cut your tail off.
00:13:12Oh, I won't disturb her, sir.
00:13:14I shall be upstairs finishing the linen cupboard.
00:13:39I'm just going down to the library, Amy.
00:13:41I shan't be above an hour.
00:13:43Mrs. Bear all right?
00:13:44Yes, sir.
00:13:45I won't go in unless I hear her bell.
00:13:47No.
00:14:31I used this one last morning.
00:14:31We'll see you soon at the library.
00:14:31All right, we'll see you soon.
00:14:38Mr. Bear all right.
00:14:38We'll see you soon.
00:14:38May 1st.
00:14:38You know the problem?
00:14:39We'll see you soon, Mr. orders because queremos
00:14:52Come on, eh?
00:14:54Are you cold, dear?
00:14:56Cold?
00:14:58Yes, I'm cold, Daddy.
00:15:00Cold.
00:15:04Daddy, Belle.
00:15:07Daddy, Belle.
00:15:08Yes, and you're tired, too, aren't you?
00:15:10Hmm?
00:15:12Tired and cold.
00:15:14Let's put on the fire, eh?
00:15:16Come on.
00:15:18Have a nice little walk.
00:16:13So you were the first to find her.
00:16:16What did you see, Miss Evans?
00:16:19Madam, lying on the floor where she'd fallen.
00:16:23She'd managed to turn on the fire, but it wasn't lit.
00:16:27We found the matches spilt all over the fireplace, didn't we, sir?
00:16:32Thank you, Miss Evans.
00:16:34Now, you've heard Dr. Walker's evidence,
00:16:37and also his suggestion that the reason why Mrs. Bear fell...
00:16:41Because she was drunk, sir.
00:16:43Well, she wasn't.
00:16:45She may have liked her glass, but no more than that, sir.
00:16:49I was the last to see her alive, sir.
00:16:52She sat so peaceful, nodding in her chair.
00:16:57Do you know of any reason why Mrs. Bear should take her own life?
00:17:03No, sir.
00:17:05Madam was younger than me.
00:17:07She wouldn't have wanted to die, sir.
00:17:09She was always so happy since she married Mr. Bear, sir.
00:17:14Thank you, Miss Evans.
00:17:18Come on, Amy.
00:17:19Come on.
00:17:26I'm sure that all of us here are of the opinion that Mr. Bear has nothing with which to reproach
00:17:34himself.
00:17:34Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you've heard the evidence given by Dr. Walker and also Miss F.
00:17:56You spoke very well, Amy. Remembered everything.
00:17:59Oh, yes. Mr. Bear went through it with me first, didn't you, sir?
00:18:04Oh, yes. Mr. Bear went through it with me first, didn't you, sir?
00:18:04Oh, yes. Mr. Bear went through it with me first, didn't you, sir?
00:18:10I mean, into the car.
00:18:17What do you intend to do now, Edward?
00:18:20I thought of going abroad.
00:18:21Rome, Paris, or Nice.
00:18:23Interesting to see the world.
00:18:25I expect you would think it's ended very satisfactorily.
00:18:28Highly satisfactorily.
00:18:29Very fair verdict, accidental death.
00:18:31Of course, you know, Edward.
00:18:32It's a curious thing about a coroner's verdict.
00:18:35What?
00:18:36Well, it's, uh, it isn't final.
00:18:40What does that mean?
00:18:41Well, if further information comes to light, the case can be reopened.
00:19:09Hello, Philip.
00:19:10I don't expect to see you again.
00:19:12I was rather worried about our talk this morning, so I thought I'd better clarify the position.
00:19:17Oh, well, you mustn't worry.
00:19:19We all have our little quarrels.
00:19:20But any time I need a lawyer, I'll remember you.
00:19:24Oh, thank you, Edward.
00:19:25But it's your own position, I mean.
00:19:27I think I ought to warn you that if you start travelling seriously,
00:19:30you may find funds a bit tight.
00:19:33What do you mean?
00:19:34Well, you see, it isn't as if you can touch the money.
00:19:38Yet.
00:19:41Troddle, Emmy. Troddle.
00:19:43Don't go, Emmy.
00:19:44You're mentioned in the will, too.
00:19:47Will?
00:19:49Money didn't make a will.
00:19:51Sit down, Emmy.
00:19:53Oh, go on, sit down.
00:19:54Hear what he said.
00:19:55It's perfectly simple, really.
00:19:57Mrs. Bale left this house to Edward,
00:19:58but all her money is left in trust to her sister, Mrs. McIntosh.
00:20:03You'll get it when she dies.
00:20:05And there's 200 pounds for you, Emmy.
00:20:08200 pounds.
00:20:09When was it that?
00:20:11Mrs. Bale made it just after you were married,
00:20:14before you fuddled her mind with too much drink.
00:20:18You'll get yourself had up for defamation of courage if you're not careful.
00:20:22accusing me without proof.
00:20:27Of course, there's a bungalow.
00:20:28We put that in your name, didn't we?
00:20:31A bungalow?
00:20:32Wood and shack.
00:20:34Go on, Troddle, Emmy.
00:20:35Troddle.
00:20:36Don't think about your good news.
00:20:38Isn't every day you become an Ares?
00:20:43Money wanted to put me right, didn't she?
00:20:45She wanted to scratch that will and make a new one.
00:20:49That's right, Edwin.
00:20:55I'm sorry, Money.
00:20:57You poor old girl.
00:21:00You'll make me sick.
00:21:02I'll see you out, Philip.
00:21:04Don't bother.
00:21:05Must get up when the visitors go.
00:21:11Philip.
00:21:12Yeah?
00:21:14That's Sister Dora.
00:21:17Where exactly does she live?
00:21:19Kingston, Jamaica.
00:21:21Too far, Edwin.
00:21:37Well, Emmy.
00:21:39Now you've got your 200 pounds, where are you going to go?
00:21:42Go, sir.
00:21:43When I let the house and move out.
00:21:46Move out, sir?
00:21:48What's going to happen to me?
00:21:50Oh, I don't know, Emmy.
00:21:53See, I can't afford to go on living here.
00:21:55Mrs. Bear left me very badly off.
00:21:58Oh, sir.
00:21:59You can stay here till you get another job.
00:22:01Another job, sir?
00:22:03Oh, dear, I couldn't look for another place.
00:22:05Not now, sir.
00:22:06I'm too old.
00:22:07I wonder who to have you, Emmy.
00:22:09You're getting very slow.
00:22:10Yes.
00:22:11Still, I get through the work just the same, sir.
00:22:14Yeah, but I'm a poor man, Emmy.
00:22:16You'll have to go home.
00:22:17Home, sir?
00:22:19This is my home, sir.
00:22:20But I can't afford servants.
00:22:22But you could afford me, sir.
00:22:24I don't want any wages.
00:22:27Wait a minute.
00:22:29I wonder if Mrs. Bear meant that 200 pounds for wages.
00:22:34Oh, yes, perhaps she did, sir.
00:22:37She may have thought be easier than you paying me every week.
00:22:40Emmy, I believe you've hit it.
00:22:41Of course, if I thought she meant that, you could stay.
00:22:44Did she ever mention it to you?
00:22:46Well, I don't really remember, sir.
00:22:48Perhaps she did.
00:22:49She did?
00:22:50Well, I'll take your word for it, Emmy.
00:22:52You can stay.
00:22:53Oh, thank you, sir.
00:23:00It's not for me to say, sir, but why don't you go away for a bit?
00:23:04Well, I'm going to find what I'm looking for here.
00:23:05That's a dead, sir.
00:23:08All right, Polly.
00:23:09You know what that means, don't you?
00:23:10Yes, sir.
00:23:11Polly, put the kettle on, and you shall have a cup of tea the minute I can get it to
00:23:15boil, sir.
00:23:22Well, I slipped up that time, Monny.
00:23:24You wanted to look after me.
00:23:26I shall have to think again.
00:23:29One thing's certain, though.
00:23:32Somebody's got to pay my passage.
00:23:39Yeah.
00:23:47Let's see.
00:23:51Yes!
00:23:52Let's go.
00:24:23Check, sir?
00:24:25No, not just now. I'm waiting.
00:25:08Have you ordered?
00:25:09Just tea, please.
00:25:18Seem to have the place to ourselves today.
00:25:20Seem to?
00:25:21I had to come in on a trip.
00:25:22My skin's sensitive.
00:25:24Yeah, me too. It gives me a headache.
00:25:26Pigmentation, my doctor says it's due to.
00:25:30I've seen you here before, but today I thought you'd be swimming or something.
00:25:34Not likely. Saltwater doesn't agree with my skin.
00:25:38As a matter of fact, I don't know why I came here.
00:25:40I hate the seaside.
00:25:42But I was bored and couldn't think of anything else to do.
00:25:45That brought me here, too.
00:25:46Really?
00:25:47Why not come over and be sociable? We can hate it together.
00:25:53All right.
00:25:58After all, we almost know each other already, don't we?
00:26:01See you every morning at breakfast.
00:26:02I've noticed you, too.
00:26:04Funny we haven't got talking before.
00:26:06I generally make friends pretty easy.
00:26:07Well, I didn't like to intrude, you know, and...
00:26:10I noticed your wedding ring.
00:26:11Oh, that.
00:26:13One of the spoils of war, me lad.
00:26:14You don't want to take any notice of that.
00:26:16Oh.
00:26:17As a matter of fact, I'm a widow.
00:26:20Oh, really?
00:26:20Poor Albert. Buried him six months ago.
00:26:23Oh, I'm sorry. What was the matter with him?
00:26:24He was dead.
00:26:28Never mind me. I'm always very humorous.
00:26:31No, it wasn't that. It's just that, uh...
00:26:33I had a recent bereavement myself.
00:26:36Oh, really?
00:26:37Yeah.
00:26:39My wife.
00:26:40Very sudden.
00:26:43Oh, well, never mind. Best not to think about it.
00:26:49Uh...
00:26:50Would you care to dance?
00:26:52Oh, all right.
00:27:05How long are you staying down here, Mr...
00:27:07Uh...
00:27:07Oh, uh, Bear.
00:27:08Edward Bear.
00:27:10I don't really know. I can, uh, please myself.
00:27:13Oh, nice.
00:27:14Well, I can do the same, come to that.
00:27:16They do you quite well at that little place, don't I?
00:27:19Yes, possible. A few days.
00:27:22Oh, my fingers itch sometimes when I'm sitting in that bar.
00:27:26Have you been in that line yourself, sir?
00:27:27Started off as working barmaid, ended up marrying the governor,
00:27:30and darn well running the place.
00:27:32Of course, I'm in private life now.
00:27:35Why did you give it up?
00:27:36Well, it was a big place, and you need a man in a house that size,
00:27:39for the look of the thing, you know?
00:27:41Anyway, I'd had enough.
00:27:43I bet you got quite a good price for a business like that.
00:27:47Not bad, eh?
00:27:50No need to go on working.
00:27:52Why should I spoil my hands if I can keep them lily-white, eh?
00:28:03I know a better place than this for dancing.
00:28:05But a lady can't very well go by herself.
00:28:08You'll find the dancing?
00:28:10Mm-hmm.
00:28:12Depends who I'm dancing with.
00:28:15All right.
00:28:17We'll find a better place.
00:28:20I promise you.
00:28:42You know, I've enjoyed the last few days.
00:28:44Have you?
00:28:45Not looking forward to next week.
00:28:46All on me own, sir.
00:28:47Aren't you going to Paris then?
00:28:48Oh, I don't know.
00:28:49Can't seem to make up my mind.
00:28:52I wish you could find somewhere to settle down.
00:28:53I'm sick of living in hotels.
00:28:55Say, do you mind if we sit down?
00:28:57My feet are killing me.
00:29:15Of course, I'm a bit of a loose end myself.
00:29:18My late wife was a great loss to me.
00:29:21Well, I can't say the same for my poor Albert.
00:29:24Still, mustn't grumble.
00:29:26He cut up very nicely.
00:29:27Mm.
00:29:38Leave me alone, you mustn't touch.
00:29:44Leave me alone, I know too much.
00:29:50While you stay around, I'll just play around with love.
00:30:04Leave me alone, I won't be true.
00:30:11You should have known I'm not for you.
00:30:17Though I'm your heart's desire, haven't you learned?
00:30:24Children who play with fire always get burned.
00:30:31I want to offer you a cigarette.
00:30:33Oh, I don't smoke.
00:30:34I've got good white teeth.
00:30:36I want to keep them that way.
00:30:37Mmm.
00:30:37But whatever you do, leave me alone.
00:30:43Yes, whatever you do, leave me alone.
00:30:49Shall we dance?
00:30:51All right.
00:31:04Mrs. Jeffries, you're, um, a woman of the world.
00:31:08I've got a problem on my mind.
00:31:09I'd, uh, like to ask your advice.
00:31:12What's her name?
00:31:13There's no her in this room.
00:31:15Uh, let's go out and talk.
00:31:26Well, what is it?
00:31:28Well, it's like this, Mrs. Jeffries.
00:31:30I've got enough money to live on, more than enough.
00:31:33But I'm bored, and I'm lonely.
00:31:36Well, I could give you some advice, but you might not like it.
00:31:39If the truth hurts, I can take it.
00:31:40Look around, trundle up the aisle again.
00:31:42Get married?
00:31:43Hmm.
00:31:44You're a fine one to give advice, Mrs. Jeffries.
00:31:47Why don't you take a leaf out of your own book?
00:31:49Well, to be perfectly honest, there have been several occasions when I very nearly have.
00:31:53And then I found it was the money bags they were after and not the old bag herself.
00:31:56Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:32:00No.
00:32:01No, I wouldn't entertain matrimony again.
00:32:04Not unless I could find someone to put down pound for pound.
00:32:07Of course, I had thought of, uh, heading my place and, uh, going abroad.
00:32:11Oh, that's a good idea.
00:32:12Let it furnish, then.
00:32:13You can do what you like.
00:32:14No, it's easier said than done, though.
00:32:15You see, I wouldn't like, uh, well, a stranger clawing over my late wife's belongings.
00:32:22Not unless I like the look of her, of course.
00:32:24Do you like the look of me?
00:32:28Yes.
00:32:29You might make a very good tenant.
00:32:31Of course, I'd, um, have to look the property over first, see if I liked it.
00:32:35Oh, of course.
00:32:38Get to know the place.
00:32:40That could be arranged.
00:32:42I never commit myself, Mr. Bear.
00:32:45Not until both parties have signed on the dotted line.
00:32:48Find someone new, make her your own.
00:32:55But whatever you do, leave me alone.
00:33:00Yes, whatever you do, leave me alone.
00:33:10Just as I know that you are with me alone.
00:33:10Oh, oh, oh.
00:33:36Here we are.
00:33:37Welcome to Stoneleigh.
00:33:38Ah, you've done quite well for yourself, Mr. Bear.
00:33:41Yeah, I mustn't grumble.
00:33:42Still, you can do with a lick of paint.
00:33:44Well, it keeps the rain out.
00:33:51Oh, Lord, Mr. Bear, I didn't expect you back till tomorrow.
00:33:54Don't fuss, don't fuss. This is the Emmy I told you about.
00:33:57Ah, hello, Emmy. It's big. How many bedrooms you got?
00:34:00Uh, six, and then a couple of attics where she roosts.
00:34:03I brought this lady to see the house. Can we have a cup of tea?
00:34:05Oh, yes, yes, sir.
00:34:07Well, then go on, go on. Show the lady where to put her coat.
00:34:10Yes, this way, Leighton.
00:34:12See you later.
00:34:19What are you doing?
00:34:20I came to see Emmy, Edward. I wanted to talk to her.
00:34:23Emmy?
00:34:26While I'm away.
00:34:29What about, Philip?
00:34:30It takes a long time to clear up an estate, Edward.
00:34:33There are still outstanding problems.
00:34:35I think the answers to some of them are to be found in this house.
00:34:38And what's Emmy got to do with it?
00:34:41Well, Emmy's a very simple soul. She's easily imposed upon.
00:34:45But someday she's going to say something.
00:34:47Something that will lead to the truth.
00:34:51The truth?
00:34:55What are you trying to prove, Philip?
00:34:57Yes, you're flushed for success now.
00:34:59You're full of confidence.
00:35:01But remember, Edward, I'm watching you all the time.
00:35:06The jury said it was accidental death.
00:35:08Oh, you seem to know what I'm talking about.
00:35:11Oh.
00:35:13Oh.
00:35:14This is my lawyer, Mr. Mortimer.
00:35:16Mrs. Jeffries.
00:35:17How do you do?
00:35:19Oh, how do you do, Mrs. Jeffries?
00:35:20Mrs. Jeffries and I were guests in the same hotel.
00:35:22I just brought her up here to have a look round the house.
00:35:24Oh, you've decided to let her, then?
00:35:26Well, I may, dear.
00:35:28Well, Phil, you'll be wanting to get back to the office, won't you?
00:35:30So we won't hold you any longer.
00:35:33I forgot to tell you, sir.
00:35:35Mr. Mortimer's here.
00:35:37I'm just going, Emmy.
00:35:38Oh, thank you, sir.
00:35:40Yeah.
00:35:40Oh, by the way, Emmy, I hear you opened a bank account
00:35:43and that you're drawing cheques.
00:35:45Oh, yes, sir.
00:35:46Mr. Bear showed me how to do it.
00:35:48What do you expect her to do with her money?
00:35:49Keep it in a stocking under her bed?
00:35:51I thought Mrs. Bear meant that money for your rainy day, Emmy.
00:35:54When Emmy needs an umbrella, she's got me.
00:35:57Very nice, too.
00:35:58I wish I had a brolly to keep the wet off me.
00:36:01All right, Emmy.
00:36:02Mr. Mortimer's read his little sermon.
00:36:04Go on, toddle.
00:36:08Quite the old-fashioned kid, isn't she?
00:36:14Oh, comfy.
00:36:15If you do decide to take this house, Mrs. Jefferies, make Edward get rid of that gas fire.
00:36:20Why?
00:36:21I haven't been here since the day of the funeral, Edward.
00:36:24Every time I look at that mat, I seem to see Mrs. Bear lying there.
00:36:27What, here?
00:36:29It mustn't get morbid, Philip.
00:36:31I'm the one who's got to live here with these ghosts.
00:36:33What was she doing here?
00:36:36She had an accident.
00:36:38With a gas fire.
00:36:39I thought you said it was flu.
00:36:41I said nothing of this all. I said she had flu just before.
00:36:43Oh, was that it?
00:36:45So we're sitting in the morgue, really.
00:36:49Oh, excuse my joke. I always see the funny side.
00:36:53Fancy.
00:36:57I hope I haven't said anything to upset you, Mrs. Jefferies.
00:37:00Oh, no.
00:37:00My Albert dropped dead in the saloon bar one night.
00:37:02I was drawing beer the next.
00:37:04Business has to go on, you know.
00:37:06Well, I'm glad I haven't put you against the house, Mrs. Jefferies.
00:37:09I wouldn't like to say anything to spoil any plans Edward has made.
00:37:12Philip's a great one for bringing the truth out into the open.
00:37:15He's trying to warn you that I'm the town's biggest fortune hunter.
00:37:19Is he? Why is he doing that?
00:37:21I suppose it's about time you knew, Mrs. Jefferies.
00:37:25I married a rich woman older than myself.
00:37:29And what's more, we managed to confound all the local skeptics by being very happy and contented.
00:37:35Very nice, too.
00:37:37Never mind, Philip.
00:37:38I can always trust you to keep an eye on my affairs.
00:37:42You're so straightforward.
00:37:44Yes, I'm always looking out for you, Edward.
00:37:46Well, see, I don't trip up. That's what I pay you for.
00:37:50Oh, good-bye, Mrs. Jefferies.
00:37:51Bye-bye.
00:37:52I'm in the telephone book, if you should ever need me.
00:37:55Oh, I'll remember that.
00:37:59Oh, Phil, by the way, I've got some news for you.
00:38:05You're not my lawyer any longer.
00:38:07No, but I'm still monies.
00:38:15Poor old Phil.
00:38:16He's got to work for every bob he's got.
00:38:17I expect he finds it demoralizing.
00:38:19Oh, allow me.
00:38:22Tea lady.
00:38:23Oh, good.
00:38:24And where's the little girl's room?
00:38:26Bed pad.
00:38:28Left along the first landing, second door.
00:38:30Thanks.
00:38:32Simple, isn't she?
00:38:34Oh.
00:38:37Well, Amy.
00:38:39You know, that lady being here today
00:38:41has brought a lot back to me.
00:38:43I expect it has, sir.
00:38:45Were you surprised when you saw her?
00:38:47Well, sitting in Madam's chair, I was, sir.
00:38:51Hmm.
00:38:52Mrs. Jeffries is a widow, Amy.
00:38:57Oh.
00:38:58Such a sad life she's had with her husband, too.
00:39:00She thinks every man's a monster.
00:39:02Hmm.
00:39:03She ought to see you and the mistress, sir.
00:39:05Oh, but that was the perfect union, Amy.
00:39:08I wish Mrs. Jeffries could know about that.
00:39:11It might help her.
00:39:15Well, I think I'll go and pick her a rose.
00:39:18A rose?
00:39:19Ah, that's nice, sir.
00:39:20Yeah.
00:39:27You keep the place very well, Amy.
00:39:29Even the room's not in use.
00:39:31Oh, thank you, ma'am.
00:39:32Tell me, um, why is one of the doors locked?
00:39:36Oh, that was their room, ma'am.
00:39:38Mr. Bear locked it up and it's never been used since.
00:39:40Oh, I see.
00:39:42This place is too big for one man.
00:39:44I expect it was different when Mrs. Bear was alive, more lively.
00:39:46Oh, yes.
00:39:48He did everything for her.
00:39:49No woman ever had a better husband and she was always the first to say so.
00:39:55Didn't matter how much he spent.
00:39:57Well, lucky to have the money to spend.
00:39:59All the money all came from the shop.
00:40:02Oh?
00:40:02Tell me about the shop, Amy.
00:40:04Well, it had been in the family, you see.
00:40:06And it grew and grew.
00:40:08And then Mr. Bear sold it for her after they got married.
00:40:12But he was such a lot of money.
00:40:14All they did have in the evening.
00:40:16He was so cheerful.
00:40:19I had a glass of pot.
00:40:22How much do they have to be cheerful about, Amy?
00:40:25Thousands and thousands of pounds.
00:40:27Quite a little gold mine, they called it.
00:40:29Well, Amy, I can see you've been having your tongue run away with you.
00:40:32And I bet you forgot to tell Mrs. Jeffrey where I've been.
00:40:35Dear.
00:40:35You'll lose your head one of these days.
00:40:37You really will.
00:40:37Go on, Amy, toddle.
00:40:38Toddle.
00:40:40She's been saying some very nice things about you, Mr. Bear.
00:40:43Oh, well, she's very loyal.
00:40:46I picked you a rose.
00:40:48Oh.
00:40:51Thanks.
00:40:53Will you be, Mother?
00:40:54All right.
00:40:57Now then, sugar?
00:41:00No, thanks. I'm on a diet.
00:41:02Oh, really?
00:41:08Why don't you stay at the ball down in the town for a bit?
00:41:12Milk?
00:41:13Oh, thanks.
00:41:15After all your time's your own, isn't it?
00:41:17Hmm, that's true.
00:41:18And then if you, uh, like the place, you could, uh, move up here.
00:41:23On what terms, Mr. Bear?
00:41:26Any terms you like.
00:41:30Pound for pound, Mr. Bear?
00:41:33Pound for pound, Mrs. Jeffries.
00:41:35All right.
00:41:36Good.
00:41:38Oh, I've, uh, got something to put in this tea.
00:41:45What's the matter?
00:41:46Oh, I felt suddenly cold.
00:41:48Somebody walking over me grave, perhaps.
00:41:51You needn't worry about that, Mrs. Jeffries.
00:41:53They won't be burying you for a long time yet.
00:41:56Not if you're a good girl.
00:41:59Oh, thank you very much.
00:42:02Oh, thank you very much, Steve.
00:42:03You know my wife, don't you, Mrs. Jeffries.
00:42:05Oh, of course you know.
00:42:06Yes, we do.
00:42:06Yes, we do.
00:42:07Oh, yes.
00:42:07Oh, yes, we do.
00:42:09Oh, yes.
00:42:11Oh, yes, yes.
00:42:11Oh, yes, yes.
00:42:11What about a toast, Charlie?
00:42:13Come on, Charlie, boy.
00:42:14Come on, Charlie, come on.
00:42:15Come on, Charlie.
00:42:16You're the best man.
00:42:17Come on, Charlie.
00:42:17Silence for Charlie man.
00:42:18Uh, ladies and gentlemen, I didn't come here to talk, as Anthony said to Cleopatra when
00:42:24he went into her tent.
00:42:25Oh, my God.
00:42:27All right, all right, I'll cut it short.
00:42:29All of us here today are friends of Teddy Bear.
00:42:33And we all shared in his sorrow when the late Mrs. Bear so suddenly and so sadly passed
00:42:38on.
00:42:39And so it's a real pleasure to see him here amongst us.
00:42:42A happy man once more.
00:42:44A by-side that charming lady is introduced into our company, and whom we welcome as his
00:42:50wife.
00:42:51So, friends, it's a real pleasure to give you Mr. and Mrs. Edward Bear, long may they thrive
00:42:57and prosper.
00:43:03Very nice, Charlie.
00:43:05This really is champagne.
00:43:07Who paid for it, did he?
00:43:08Not you, I suppose.
00:43:10Well, no, I think I'm right in saying that the, uh, the bride or the bride's parents pay
00:43:13for the wedding.
00:43:15Pound for pound, Mr. Bear.
00:43:18Pound for pound.
00:43:19I believe you've met your man, Teddy.
00:43:22This stuff always makes me sick.
00:43:24Can I have a beer?
00:43:25Come on, dear, I'll get you one.
00:43:26Come on.
00:43:31You certainly know how to land them, Teddy.
00:43:34What bait do you use?
00:43:36Charm, Charlie.
00:43:37Just charm?
00:43:38Your charm and my money.
00:43:40Don't forget it was me that financed that little trip of yours to the sea, sir.
00:43:44Don't worry, I'll get your money back.
00:43:46I mean to.
00:43:47You've landed your fish now, Teddy.
00:43:49But don't forget it was your Uncle Charlie that supplied the chips.
00:44:02Well, I'm glad to see you made friends with the vacuum.
00:44:05Didn't blow up after all, eh?
00:44:06No, ma'am.
00:44:07By the way, Emmy, isn't it about time I paid you some wages?
00:44:10I've been here a month now.
00:44:11Oh, no, I've got my money in the bank.
00:44:13Madam left me 200 pounds.
00:44:15But that's nothing to do with me or Mr. Bear.
00:44:17That's separate.
00:44:18Oh, no.
00:44:18Mr. Bear explained.
00:44:20Madam left me my wages in a lump sum.
00:44:22Oh, Emmy.
00:44:24There's one born every minute.
00:44:25Never mind.
00:44:26I'll see you.
00:44:27You're not the loser.
00:44:27Come on.
00:44:28I want you to open up this door.
00:44:29Oh, Mr. Bear go raving mad.
00:44:32It's only opened up once a week for me to dust.
00:44:34From now on, Emmy, it isn't only what Mr. Bear wants.
00:44:36Come on, open up.
00:44:38Why say?
00:44:39Well, anyone would think it was Bluebeard's chamber.
00:44:43Blimey, it is.
00:44:44It hasn't been you since Madam passed on.
00:44:47Mr. Bear liked her kept locked up.
00:44:49All the same, it's silly to keep it shut up.
00:44:51Mr. Bear won't like it, Mum.
00:44:54That's, madam, the day she married Mr. Bear.
00:44:57Oh, she had a kind face.
00:45:00Tell me, Emmy, how did she come to marry Mr. Bear?
00:45:02Oh, well, you see, Mr. Bear was a clerk in Mr. Man's estate agency.
00:45:08He'd come up here when madam thought of selling the business.
00:45:11Took to him at once, madam did.
00:45:13Oh, he can certainly turn on the charm when he wants to.
00:45:16What's in here?
00:45:19Oh, well, we'll have to get rid of this lot.
00:45:21No sense in giving the moths a feast.
00:45:24What are you doing in here?
00:45:26Get out.
00:45:26Get out, both of you.
00:45:28This is Monty's room.
00:45:29I told you never to unlock this door, didn't I?
00:45:31I told you.
00:45:31Stop it, Ed.
00:45:32It wasn't Emmy's fault.
00:45:33It was mine.
00:45:34Anyway, why shouldn't the room be unlocked?
00:45:36Get out.
00:45:37Get out, I said.
00:45:38This is Monty's room.
00:45:39I don't want anyone in here.
00:45:40What? Carry on.
00:45:42All right, Ed, I'm sorry.
00:45:44I didn't know it meant that much to you.
00:45:47Go on, get out.
00:45:55Never let me see you in that room again.
00:45:59I told you.
00:46:00You know, if he'd had any more wives, I'd have had to sleep in the bathroom.
00:46:20Well, I didn't expect to see you.
00:46:22I was passing.
00:46:23I thought I'd wait for you.
00:46:24What have they done to you today?
00:46:26Oh, the usual.
00:46:27I was going blonde, and then I thought it might make me look common.
00:46:30Here, shove over.
00:46:30I want to drive.
00:46:42I'm sorry I blew up this morning in Monty's room, but I've been sleeping well lately.
00:46:46I get a sort of shut-in feeling.
00:46:49Makes me irritable.
00:46:49What are you getting at, Ed?
00:46:51Well, I don't want to disturb you again, so I think I'll move into Monty's room.
00:46:54Stay there for a night or two.
00:46:56Now, listen, Ed.
00:46:57I don't know what your arrangements were with Monty, but I didn't marry you for companionship.
00:47:03Okay, Mrs. Bear.
00:47:05What's your present?
00:47:06Ooh, crystallized fruits.
00:47:08Lovely.
00:47:08I seem to remember you saying you liked them.
00:47:10I know.
00:47:10Got all the tricks, haven't you, Ed?
00:47:12Still they're nice tricks.
00:47:14Oh, I can't be cross with you for long.
00:47:16Mmm.
00:47:18Well, I'm glad you came round.
00:47:20Don't like the salts.
00:47:40You know, it is a lovely view, Ed.
00:47:42Mrs. Bear, I'm going to pick you a little nose, Kate.
00:47:44Keep you happy.
00:47:44Oh, thank you kindly, sir.
00:47:53Come on.
00:47:54Come, give us a hand.
00:47:55Is it safe?
00:47:55Of course it's safe.
00:48:05Charlie Man's on to a good thing, Frieda.
00:48:07Who for?
00:48:08Charlie Man?
00:48:09Oh, funny.
00:48:11No, a piece of land behind the cathedral.
00:48:13A chap ready to go for 3,000.
00:48:14But I can get it for two.
00:48:16You're worth twice that amount in three years.
00:48:18Why?
00:48:19Going to build a cinema on it.
00:48:21Who said?
00:48:22Charlie's got a cousin in the surveyors department.
00:48:25Well, you know, your own business best, Ed.
00:48:27But I'd say your money was safer in the bank.
00:48:32We could do it in your name, if you like.
00:48:34Thought you liked to hold the counters.
00:48:36What sort of a fool do you take me for, Ed?
00:48:38A very wise woman, Mrs. Bear, who knows when she's on to a good pick.
00:48:41You're right there.
00:48:42I back my horses when they're past the post.
00:48:43This one's better. It's back home in the stable now.
00:48:45Not till that cinema's built, it isn't.
00:48:48And if you're so sure, why don't you write out your own check?
00:48:52Anyway, I've asked Charlie Man to come up and see you tonight.
00:48:55Oh, you're not gonna make a fool of me.
00:48:57Well, then you'd better put him off.
00:49:01I'm not gonna put him off, Mrs. Bear.
00:49:04And I'm not gonna play, Ed.
00:49:06You'll do as I say, Mrs. Bear.
00:49:08You hit me, Ed, and I'll hit you back, tit for tat, pound for pound, remember?
00:49:13I'm not making a present of 2,000 quid to you or Charlie Man or anybody else.
00:49:17My money's my own. It stays that way.
00:49:19Get that into your head once and for all.
00:49:22Oh, Ed.
00:49:25If you could only see your face.
00:49:43Can we help?
00:49:45That's very kind of you.
00:49:46Ed, see what you can do.
00:49:48All right.
00:49:51My engine's stalled and I can't get it started again.
00:49:53Oh, it's all right.
00:49:55Uh, my name's Bear.
00:49:56That's my wife.
00:49:57We, uh, lived just there.
00:49:58I'm Charlotte Young.
00:49:59Feel such a notice.
00:50:01Oh, not at all.
00:50:02I, uh, like thinking about with cars.
00:50:05You open the car.
00:50:05I'll take you up the house while he's fixing it.
00:50:07Oh, thank you.
00:50:16And they're making you quite comfortable at the Crown, Miss Young?
00:50:18Yes, very so far.
00:50:19Beds clean?
00:50:20Quite, thank you.
00:50:21Hot water hot?
00:50:22I think so.
00:50:23Looks a good house, the Crown.
00:50:24You can always tell, you know, by the brass outside and the curtains.
00:50:31Oh, sounds as if Ed's got your car going.
00:50:38Car's perfect.
00:50:39Carberry got choked up, that's all.
00:50:40Oh, is that it?
00:50:41It's always something small.
00:50:43Oh, don't go.
00:50:43Don't go.
00:50:44Sit down.
00:50:45Have a drink.
00:50:47Uh, Sherry?
00:50:48Oh, thank you.
00:50:50Uh, Miss Young's looking for a house around here, Ed.
00:50:52I told her you used to be in the estate business.
00:50:54Oh, yes.
00:50:55Yes, that's right.
00:50:55I'd say she dropped into the right place.
00:50:57Got some addresses at Manor Mead.
00:51:02Oh, Manor Mead.
00:51:03That's a very posh district.
00:51:06Um, what sort of price are you thinking of?
00:51:08Twelve thousand, something like that.
00:51:10Oh.
00:51:13Of course, they're, um, they're converting a lot of these big houses into flats.
00:51:17Oh, I don't want it for flats.
00:51:18Oh, you're going to live in it?
00:51:19Yes, I'm going to start a school, an equestrian school.
00:51:22Eh?
00:51:22Horses.
00:51:23Oh.
00:51:24I know a bit about horses.
00:51:25Yes.
00:51:26Quite the little jockey, aren't we, Ed?
00:51:29I ran a riding school for some years, but I wasn't my own boss.
00:51:32Then, when my father died, I found myself, well, independent.
00:51:35Very nice.
00:51:36So I gave him my notice and went round the world.
00:51:38Very nice, too.
00:51:39That's what I'd like to do.
00:51:40I hope you don't think I'm taking a liberty, Miss Young.
00:51:42But, uh, what agent did you go to?
00:51:44Russell and Portland.
00:51:45Oh, they're dead from the neck up, aren't they?
00:51:46That's right.
00:51:46Very old-fashioned.
00:51:47You ought to see my friend Charlie Mann, Miss Young.
00:51:49Oh, should I?
00:51:49Hmm.
00:51:50Why don't you let Ed take you in to see Charlie, Miss Young?
00:51:52Oh, I couldn't bother, Miss Young.
00:51:53Oh, there's no bother.
00:51:54My time's on my own.
00:51:55I'm retired.
00:51:55Oh, I made his pile young.
00:51:57Be doing him a kindness, really.
00:51:58Are you sure?
00:52:00Miss Young's staying at the Crown, Ed.
00:52:01All right.
00:52:0210.30 tomorrow morning.
00:52:03Take you up to Charlie Mann to pick up the lists.
00:52:05Oh, thank you very much.
00:52:06And for the drink, too.
00:52:07Sorry I have to go so soon.
00:52:09I brought your car round to the side.
00:52:10It's easier for you.
00:52:11You must come again now you know your way.
00:52:14After you, Miss Young.
00:52:22Oh, my bag.
00:52:23Oh, Miss Young's bag, Ed.
00:52:24Oh, right.
00:52:34There you are.
00:52:34There's your bag, Miss Young.
00:52:35Oh, thank you.
00:52:36All right.
00:52:36Well, goodbye, Mrs. Bear.
00:52:37Goodbye.
00:52:37Not for long, I hope.
00:52:38Bye.
00:52:58Nice woman.
00:52:59Hmm.
00:53:00Pity she came too late.
00:53:01What?
00:53:02You heard.
00:53:08You're going to see Charlie this afternoon, Mrs. Bear, about that piece of land?
00:53:10I wouldn't entertain it.
00:53:11Look, you're afraid of that.
00:53:12Listen, Ed.
00:53:13A clever bird doesn't foul its own nest.
00:53:15I don't mind helping you pluck the one that's just fallen into your lap,
00:53:18but my feathers are in tight, and if anybody pulls them, I yell.
00:53:27You wouldn't have liked this one, Molly.
00:53:29She's crude.
00:53:45It's a lovely house, but it's hopelessly wrong for me.
00:53:48Yes, it's too big for you, Charlotte.
00:53:51What's the matter with you today, Edward?
00:53:52Something wrong.
00:53:54Well, I'm afraid we've looked at our last house together.
00:53:56Oh, Edward, why?
00:53:58It's Mrs. Bear.
00:54:00She's beginning to get jealous of you, Charlotte.
00:54:03Well, I haven't noticed any change in her manner.
00:54:05No, no, you wouldn't.
00:54:06But she's a very neurotic woman altogether.
00:54:10She, um...
00:54:11She keeps on threatening to commit suicide.
00:54:15I have to be very careful.
00:54:17But she seems such a practical person.
00:54:19Oh, I know you'd think so, but she talks about it so many times
00:54:22and sometimes they wish she would jump out a window.
00:54:24Oh, Edward.
00:54:24I didn't mean that, of course, but...
00:54:26I've got to talk to someone.
00:54:28I mean, you can see my position.
00:54:31My first wife dies in a fearful accident and...
00:54:34my second commits suicide.
00:54:37Lovely.
00:54:38What a dreadful situation for both of you.
00:54:41Yes, I know.
00:54:42I can't leave her on her own now that I know what's in her mind.
00:54:45I'm the only one there to keep an eye on her.
00:54:48I'm sorry she feels this way about me.
00:54:51Oh, it needn't worry you, Charlotte.
00:54:52Well, I was just going to ask her if she'd put me up for a few days.
00:55:01Stay with us, you mean?
00:55:02Yes, the hotel can't keep my room next week,
00:55:04but, boy, it doesn't matter now.
00:55:24They're up, safe and sound.
00:55:31Thank you, Edward. You've been most kind.
00:55:33All right.
00:55:38Charlotte?
00:55:41You know, I've been thinking.
00:55:43I don't see why you shouldn't come to save us.
00:55:45I mean, after all, the house is big enough.
00:55:46It'd be a good thing for Mrs. Bear, really.
00:55:48Let her see there's nothing in her little fancies.
00:55:50Oh, do you really think so?
00:55:51Well, we could ask her.
00:55:53No, Edward, I'd rather not.
00:55:54Now, look here, Charlotte. I'm still bossing my own home.
00:56:04Amy!
00:56:07Is this Bear back from the dressmakers yet?
00:56:08No, sir.
00:56:09She did say you were picking her up, sir.
00:56:11I never said any such thing.
00:56:14All right, Amy.
00:56:15You see what I mean?
00:56:16Every time I take you out, she thinks of a news story.
00:56:26Charlotte, every time you come into this room, you go to the fireplace, and you look straight at the fire.
00:56:34Oh, I'm sure I don't.
00:56:35Every blessed time.
00:56:37Look at you now.
00:56:38Why?
00:56:40Because someone's told you about Monty.
00:56:42Well, I won't pretend I haven't heard gossip up at the hotel.
00:56:47Very dangerous, gossip.
00:56:51What exactly have you been hearing?
00:56:53They say you taught her to drink.
00:56:57Why?
00:56:59So she could turn on the gas, collapse before she could light it.
00:57:02Very clever crime, that.
00:57:04Have to have brains to think that one out.
00:57:06The way you say it, Edward, you would.
00:57:08No one could ever prove that you did it.
00:57:11You know, if it wasn't disgusting, it would be laughable.
00:57:13I'm surprised at you, Charlotte.
00:57:15Listening to things like that.
00:57:18Well, people know I come here.
00:57:21We've been seen together.
00:57:23Edward.
00:57:25They even asked me about the gas fire.
00:57:27And whether it's still here.
00:57:31Freela got rid of that.
00:57:33I suppose it fascinates them.
00:57:35The fire, the room, and everything.
00:57:37Why exactly are they interested?
00:57:39Well, I imagine it's the idea of your going on living here in this room,
00:57:43where your first wife died.
00:57:45And my second pours the tea.
00:57:49They don't understand me, Charlotte.
00:57:53But you do.
00:57:57Moni's dead, I know.
00:57:59But I've got a lot of very happy memories of her.
00:58:04This is Moni's chair.
00:58:06That one wanted to chuck it out, but...
00:58:09I said no.
00:58:12I come down in the dark sometimes.
00:58:14Watch it.
00:58:17Imagine her sitting there, talking to me.
00:58:20Is she cross with you, Edward?
00:58:21No, no.
00:58:22She thinks I ought to have waited a bit longer.
00:58:26Mourned her a bit.
00:58:29But Moni understood me.
00:58:33She knew I was born to have colour in my life.
00:58:40This is, uh...
00:58:42My magic carpet.
00:58:44Picture postcards.
00:58:46Been all round the world on these postcards, Moni and I.
00:58:51Wasn't her wish that I'd get stuck with an album.
00:58:53You'd do anything to get on that magic carpet, wouldn't you, Edward?
00:58:59Would I, Charlotte?
00:59:01It's a wonderful thing.
00:59:03Fly away and leave everything behind.
00:59:07There's room for a passenger on this carpet.
00:59:10I'd thought of that.
00:59:17Ed?
00:59:18Ed!
00:59:21Where have you been?
00:59:23There have I been standing for hours on the corner in the heat and the dust.
00:59:27My feet are killing me.
00:59:30Ah.
00:59:30Well, I don't have to ask what you've been doing, and I know who you've been with.
00:59:33Morning, Miss Young.
00:59:33Found your stable yet?
00:59:34Uh, we did see a place, but Edward said it was too expensive.
00:59:37Well, I'm glad he's being careful with somebody's money.
00:59:40Charlotte was saying she's, uh, getting fed up staying at the tills and being on her own all the time.
00:59:45Oh?
00:59:45Yes, I wish I could find rooms with the family.
00:59:48Just until I get settled on a house, you know.
00:59:50It's a good idea, Freda, we...
00:59:51Here, Ed, take this fish to any of your lunch.
00:59:52No, just...
00:59:53Out.
00:59:55You were saying, Miss Young, that if I could find rooms in a house with some nice people, I'd pay
01:00:00very well.
01:00:00Oh, I'm sure you would.
01:00:01There must be some houses in the town with very nice people in them.
01:00:04Oh, I'd be very little trouble.
01:00:05You see, I've been so lonely since I went out of harness.
01:00:08Well, Miss Young, you'd better decide on one of your fancy houses and get your harness on again.
01:00:12Your friend's just going, Ed.
01:00:14Oh, not staying to lunch?
01:00:16There's plenty of halibut.
01:00:17But she tells me in future, Charlie Mann's gonna show her the properties himself.
01:00:20Oh, well, I know where to find you, Charlotte, if I feel like morning coffee.
01:00:22Hey, lunch early at the Crown, Miss Young. I know you won't want to miss yours, your bag.
01:00:26This way, Miss Young.
01:00:31Oh, Mrs. Bear, I would...
01:00:32I mean, nice knowing you, Miss Young, but even the best of friends was part. Good morning.
01:00:39Emmy?
01:00:41Emmy!
01:00:42How did Mr. Bear tell you to cook that fish?
01:00:44He said grill it.
01:00:45Fry it.
01:00:48Now then, young Ed.
01:00:49All right, don't blame me. I didn't ask her to fancy me.
01:00:51Well, if she does, she wants her brains examined.
01:00:54Drop her, Ed. You've been talked about enough in this town.
01:00:56I don't want her to drop her until she's bought that piece of land by the cathedral.
01:01:00Well, what's in it for you if she does, Ed?
01:01:02Charlie'll look after me.
01:01:06Well, I'll tell you what we do. We split the spending money. You put down your check, I'll put mine
01:01:12beside it.
01:01:12I wouldn't mind putting down my check in the least. As long as it wasn't presented.
01:01:21Do you mind explaining that, remark Ed?
01:01:25I couldn't write a check for ten pounds, let alone a thousand.
01:01:29What do you mean?
01:01:31You slipped up, Mrs. Bear. You should have checked up at Somerset House like I did.
01:01:35Your Albert did everything nice and simple. I shan't cut up so well when I go.
01:01:39Come on out with it. What did money leave you?
01:01:41Not a sausage.
01:01:43It all went to that sister Dora in Kingston, Jamaica.
01:01:46All I got was this house and that shack on the beach, remember?
01:01:50Lovely on a warm day.
01:01:51Of course, money gave me a check occasionally, but...
01:01:56I spent my stocking catching you.
01:02:08Well, Mrs. Bear, I must say, you certainly can take it.
01:02:11Well, it's either laugh or cry, Ed. I was never one for tears.
01:02:14I know why you've been making up to Charlotte Young. She's a plumper bird than I am.
01:02:18But I'm not having it, Ed.
01:02:21You may not be much of a catch, but...
01:02:25So help me, I love you.
01:02:29We didn't expect that, did we?
01:02:31You're not seeing that woman again.
01:02:32Oh, don't be silly, Fred. I'm bound to see her again in a place this summer.
01:02:34Well, there's the bungalow. We can go there. Give her a chance to vamoose out of the place.
01:02:37And leave, Emmy.
01:02:38Well, take Emmy with us. You have the car round here by five. I'll get her to pack.
01:02:41I can't be ready by five.
01:02:42No arguments, Ed. We're doing as I say, and we're staying away until she's gone.
01:02:46And don't go phoning her, Ed. Make it a clean break.
01:02:49Emmy?
01:02:51Emmy?
01:02:57This one's dead easy, Monty.
01:03:05Oh, Emmy, for goodness sake, stop snivelling. I will not be crossed. You're coming, and that's all there is to
01:03:10it.
01:03:11Rita! Rita!
01:03:14Oh, shut up, Emmy!
01:03:16What?
01:03:17Just going out to get a paper.
01:03:19All right. Well, don't be long.
01:03:21Now, buck up, Emmy. You ought to be pleased going away for a nice holiday like this.
01:03:25I can't sleep in a strange bed.
01:03:28Well, how do you know if you've never been in one?
01:03:29I don't like the sea.
01:03:31Well, you don't have to drink it.
01:03:32It's not safe to leave the house, burglars.
01:03:36Now, look. Mr. Bear will ring the police and tell them we're going away.
01:03:38They'll put a policeman outside. Now, nobody can get past a policeman.
01:04:26Hello?
01:04:27Hello, Woodhill 7-2? Yes, that's right.
01:04:29Mr. Edward Bear, there.
01:04:30Who? Speak up, please. I can't hear you very well.
01:04:33Mr. Edward Bear, it's Mr. Mortimer's office.
01:04:35Oh, he's not here. He just went out for a minute.
01:04:37Oh, will you turn the phone as soon as he comes in, please?
01:04:40All right. Goodbye.
01:04:42Now then, Emmy, let's get a move on.
01:04:44When Madam took me to Canterbury, I was sick all over the cow.
01:04:48Well, you're older and wiser now, and your stomach's a lot stronger.
01:04:51It's all such a rush.
01:04:52I've made up my mind, Emmy, so it's no use you going on nattering.
01:05:00Car's at the door.
01:05:01Oh.
01:05:02What's the matter with Emmy?
01:05:02Oh, she's got some silly idea. She doesn't want to come.
01:05:05Well, poor girl, she doesn't want to come.
01:05:06Let her stay.
01:05:07She's coming.
01:05:08You are pig-headed, Frieda. I always knew that about you.
01:05:10Are you ready, Emmy?
01:05:11You haven't given Mr. Bear his message.
01:05:14Oh, no, I forgot.
01:05:15Mr. Mortimer phoned. He wants to see you.
01:05:17What about?
01:05:18Oh, I don't know. Some mumbling clerk with a cold got through.
01:05:20I said you'd ring him back later.
01:05:22Oh, forget it.
01:05:22No, no, no. You'd better do it. It might be important.
01:05:24No, no, no.
01:05:25Now, Emmy, stop looking like a wet week. Pick up your bag and come on.
01:05:30Birds will freak their poor little hearts out.
01:05:33Oh.
01:05:39What else, 6-8?
01:05:42Mr. Mortimer there.
01:05:45Mr. Bear.
01:05:49Well, will you tell him it's very convenient, but I'll be there?
01:05:52Yes, without fail.
01:05:54Right.
01:05:57Oh, she's a stubborn...
01:05:58Here, what are you taking your coat off for?
01:06:00We're not going.
01:06:01What?
01:06:01I've got to see Philip Mortimer.
01:06:02When?
01:06:03Tonight, 9 o'clock.
01:06:04Well, what does he want all of a sudden?
01:06:05I don't know. He said it was urgent. He said he'd had a letter from Mrs. Mackintosh.
01:06:09That's Monny's sister, Dora.
01:06:10I shall have to wait and see. We'd better get Emmy out of the car.
01:06:13Get Emmy out of the car?
01:06:15If you knew what I went through getting her into it.
01:06:17Well, she can't sit out there till after 9 o'clock. That's a cert.
01:06:19Well, who's sitting anywhere till after 9 o'clock? We're off.
01:06:21What, without me?
01:06:22You catch the 10-5. I'll meet you at the station.
01:06:24Look, I'll tell you what. I'll phone Philip and put him off.
01:06:27No, Ed.
01:06:28Better wait here and get it cleared up, whatever it is.
01:06:30I don't want you running backwards and forwards holding Miss Young's hand.
01:06:33That's why we're going away, to stop all that.
01:06:35All right, I won't argue, Mrs. Bear.
01:06:40I'll see you tonight.
01:06:41Right.
01:06:41What about the shrouds?
01:06:42Oh, leave them. They suit the place.
01:06:45Mind how you go, Mrs. Bear. Gently does it.
01:06:50Mind how you go, Mrs. Bear. Gently does it.
01:07:11The rest's easy. It's a pushover money.
01:07:1555-16 inflicted.
01:07:16Good day.
01:07:31Good night.
01:07:57Mrs. Bair?
01:08:06Mrs. Bair?
01:08:46You left your bag in the car again.
01:08:49Where's Mrs. Bair?
01:08:53She's all right now.
01:08:55Come in here first.
01:08:57Where is she?
01:08:58Well, we had a terrible row just after you left this morning.
01:09:01Well, what happened? You sounded desperate on the telephone.
01:09:03She's hysterical, blind hysterical.
01:09:05It's good to have a friend to call on, Charlotte.
01:09:08I've got such a lot on my mind.
01:09:10Do sit down.
01:09:18I've had money on my mind lately, too.
01:09:22Do sit down.
01:09:25I've got to unload to someone.
01:09:28Been feeling apprehensive all day.
01:09:30How, Edward?
01:09:33I've had a sort of premonition.
01:09:35Of what?
01:09:39Someone's gonna die.
01:09:41Where's Mrs. Bair?
01:09:43Oh, she's all right. I'm the one you've got to worry about.
01:09:46Do sit down.
01:09:49See, I've got to talk to someone.
01:09:51Or bust.
01:09:53Someone who won't talk about it afterwards.
01:09:55Surely you can trust me, Edward.
01:10:00Well, uh...
01:10:01Where shall I begin?
01:10:03It's always best to start at the beginning.
01:10:08Yes, well, it was the first time I ever came to this house.
01:10:12It wasn't on before I moved in for good, though.
01:10:15So I gave her value for money.
01:10:16I made her laugh.
01:10:18Taught her to appreciate fine old brandy.
01:10:22Gave her something to live for.
01:10:25Me and the drink.
01:10:27Still, it, uh...
01:10:28Caught up with her in the end.
01:10:31If Monty hadn't got drunk...
01:10:32and misled me, I...
01:10:34When did she mislead you?
01:10:38It was that last day.
01:10:40She kept talking about her will and Dora.
01:10:42I thought she was gonna bring her sister back into the picture,
01:10:44but instead she was gonna cut her out altogether.
01:10:46If Monty had made herself clear...
01:10:48she'd be alive today.
01:10:52Edward.
01:10:53Do you know what you're saying?
01:10:56Of course I know what I'm saying.
01:11:00I'm saying that I killed your sister, Dora.
01:11:04This window.
01:11:05See this catch?
01:11:06Monty had a phobia about burglars.
01:11:07Had this comic lock fitted.
01:11:08She taught me how to use it, and I had to teach Frieda.
01:11:10But you kicked that latch open...
01:11:12went straight through the first time.
01:11:13Where do I powder my nose, you said?
01:11:14Second on the right, I said.
01:11:15And you turned to the left where it is.
01:11:17You cheapened yourself by pretending to fall in love with me.
01:11:19Well, I know who I appeal to and who I don't.
01:11:21Frieda because she's my class...
01:11:23and Monty because she was old and lonely.
01:11:25What did you come here for?
01:11:27What good did you think it would do?
01:11:29I wasn't satisfied with the result of the inquest.
01:11:32I've come here to put you where you can't harm anyone else.
01:11:35Who do you think would believe you?
01:11:37Anybody would laugh in your face, you're not worth bothering about.
01:11:40Get back to Jamaica, wherever you came from.
01:11:42What are you listening for?
01:11:45Mrs. Bear.
01:11:48Where is Mrs. Bear?
01:11:50Have you killed her too?
01:11:51Find her.
01:11:52Mrs. Bear!
01:11:53Search the house. Dig up the cellars.
01:11:57She's gone. She's left. You'll never see her again.
01:12:01Where is she?
01:12:03What have you done with her?
01:12:06Get out of my way, or I'll call the police!
01:12:09Tell the police.
01:12:10Tell them there's a killer on top of Sunset.
01:12:13Tell them to come and get me.
01:12:16I'll have a drink while I'm waiting.
01:12:20Go on, what are you waiting for?
01:12:22It's not like you, Edward.
01:12:24Just calmly telling me to go.
01:12:26There's something else at the back of that black mind of yours,
01:12:28and I'm going to stay here till I find out what it is.
01:12:30Get out of this house!
01:12:33No.
01:12:36Get out of this house.
01:12:38No.
01:12:39All the time I'm here, I'm safe.
01:12:41You can't afford another dead body in your drawing room, Edward.
01:12:44All right, Dora.
01:12:44You're asking for the fireworks, and here they come.
01:12:46You come one step nearer, and I'll scream this place down.
01:12:48Yes, but only once.
01:12:49You should study human nature.
01:12:50A chap hears a scream, listens, doesn't hear another, and he walks on again.
01:12:53Take care, Edward.
01:12:54I'm much tougher than I look.
01:12:55If you're tougher than you look, why are you so frightened of me?
01:12:59It's all right.
01:12:59I was only going to finish my drink.
01:13:03That's why your sister sat for the last time.
01:13:05Go on, I'll give you one more chance.
01:13:07Clear her out while it's still your word against mine.
01:13:09You can't frighten me, Edward.
01:13:10The game's up.
01:13:11I've phoned Philip Mortimer.
01:13:13I could've saved you the trouble.
01:13:13He's always in Canterbury on a Friday.
01:13:15I expect you left a message.
01:13:17It'll be a sweet thought when he finds your body where I intend to dump it.
01:13:20It's not normal to have as much confidence as you have.
01:13:23I wonder what you'd be like without it.
01:13:24Go on, get out, run!
01:13:26I'm not going to run because you want me to,
01:13:28and I'm not going to die because you want me to.
01:13:30Get out!
01:13:39I've been to Romford, Edward.
01:13:41And Acton.
01:13:42I met your schoolmaster, the one you hated so.
01:13:45I talked to him and now I know what an unbalanced mess you really are.
01:13:51Romford?
01:13:52Shut up.
01:13:54At Acton, I talked to the small boy who lived next door to you.
01:13:59The one you tried to kill and very nearly did.
01:14:02I didn't try to kill him.
01:14:05That boy's grown up now and I know what really happened.
01:14:08What a pity this didn't come out of the inquest.
01:14:11Shut up.
01:14:11I won't listen.
01:14:12Oh, yes, you will.
01:14:13I'm going to show you to yourself as you really are.
01:14:16Drag out your rottenness and make you look at it.
01:14:18Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
01:14:20Look at you.
01:14:21Even if you escape the law, which is unlikely, you can never...
01:14:23Never escape myself.
01:14:25I know it all.
01:14:29There's not a doctor I can't beat at his own game.
01:14:32I've had this old psych routine for years and years and years
01:14:35and there's not one official mark against me, Dora,
01:14:37which is one reason why I can kill you now.
01:14:39Well, hit me, Edward. Hit me.
01:14:41Never mind the fingerprints on the poker,
01:14:43the blood on the carpet,
01:14:44or how you're going to carry me out without being seen.
01:14:47This isn't how you mean to do it, Edward.
01:14:49You're bluffing again, trying to make me run.
01:14:52Well, I'm not going to run.
01:14:54I'm staying here where I am.
01:14:56Get out! Get out! Get out!
01:15:02I've come across the world to see you like this, Edward.
01:15:05And now I know you won't go free.
01:15:21All right, Evie.
01:15:23All right. Now, you go on up to bed.
01:15:24You'll be better in the morning.
01:15:26I'm ever so sorry.
01:15:27No, it was my fault, Evie.
01:15:28Now, go on. I'll come up and see you in a minute.
01:15:33Well, her stomach isn't any stronger.
01:15:36We stopped to have tea to see if it had to go off,
01:15:38and instead she nearly passed out.
01:15:43You again, Miss Young?
01:15:45Funny sort of time to be visiting my house while I'm away.
01:15:48I'm not Charlotte Young.
01:15:50My name's Dora Mackintosh.
01:15:53Your husband, Edward, killed my sister.
01:15:56Well, I've had some pretty funny welcomes in me time,
01:15:58but this just about takes the cake.
01:15:59It's true. It's true. He's a murderer.
01:16:02Well, he looks very well on it.
01:16:04Come off it, Miss Young.
01:16:05I know Ed's a bad boy, but he isn't as bad as all that.
01:16:07I must phone the police.
01:16:08Not from here, you don't.
01:16:09Oh, please let me use the telephone.
01:16:11I can't leave you with him. It's not safe.
01:16:12That's for me to decide.
01:16:13Now, will you kindly get out of my house?
01:16:22Go back, Miss Young.
01:16:30Now then, young Ed, I want an explanation.
01:17:00What's the game, Ed?
01:17:03I've won.
01:17:04Oh, I shall always laugh when I think of it.
01:17:07I couldn't get her to go. I tried every way.
01:17:10And then she went like a lamb. For you.
01:17:12I don't know what you're talking about.
01:17:13She'll go over Sunrise Hill just like a bird.
01:17:15Down, down, down into the valley.
01:17:17Ed, you don't know what you're saying.
01:17:19My God, you never touched her car.
01:17:20I touched her car, all right.
01:17:21Hydraulic brakes, snip.
01:17:23I cut the tube. The oil will run out.
01:17:24She's in a hurry. She couldn't stop it.
01:17:26Miss Young, Miss Young.
01:17:30Ed, you don't know what you've done.
01:17:34I know what I've done.
01:17:38I've got my money.
01:17:41Any questions, Mrs. Bear?
01:17:43I don't mind you knowing everything.
01:17:45After all, a wife can't be compelled to give evidence against her husband, can she?
01:17:48I don't want to know any more.
01:17:50Hmm.
01:17:50But I've got to make sure you don't stick, haven't I?
01:17:53I don't want you hanging around my neck now that I've got Monny's money.
01:17:57Listen.
01:17:58I killed Monny, and I killed her sister.
01:18:01I'm a ruthless, cold-blooded killer, and I did it for game.
01:18:13What's the matter, Philip?
01:18:16Been an accident?
01:18:17Something that was thought to be an accident, Edward.
01:18:20But it was murder.
01:18:21I'm going to phone the police.
01:18:22Miss...
01:18:23Frida, you turn...
01:18:29How long have they been here, Frida?
01:18:30Long enough.
01:18:31Mr. Mortimer stopped me in the drive.
01:18:34I'm dreaming.
01:18:35You'll wake up in prison, Edward.
01:18:37Broadmoor, if you're lucky.
01:18:39Broadmoor?
01:18:41Monny!
01:18:43Monny!
01:18:44Monny, tell me what to do!
01:18:45I didn't mean it, Monny!
01:18:47I didn't mean it!
01:18:47You told me!
01:18:48I didn't mean it!
01:18:49Pull yourself together, Ed!
01:18:51Mr. Mortimer, get him a drink.
01:18:54Ed!
01:18:55Ed!
01:19:05Brain's still working, Frida.
01:19:13Thanks.
01:19:15Thanks.
01:19:42Philip!
01:20:12Edward!
01:20:14Edward!
01:20:23I've done it, Monny!
01:20:24I've done it!
01:20:28I've done it!
01:20:41I've done it!
01:20:45I've done it.
01:20:51I've done it!
01:20:53I've done it.
01:20:57I've done it!
01:21:00I've done it!
01:21:14I don't want to be back home.
01:21:31I'm sorry, Mrs. Bear.
01:21:46The only time in my life my heart ruled my head.
01:21:49I'm sorry, Mrs. Bear.
01:21:59Emmy?
01:22:04Emmy?
01:22:06Emmy?
01:22:08Emmy?
01:22:19Emmy?
01:22:20Emmy?
01:22:22Emmy?
01:22:24Emmy?
01:22:26Emmy?
01:22:31Emmy?
01:22:34Emmy?
