00:28Are you sure it didn't happen?
00:29Not to me, it didn't. Whatever it was.
00:41Bye, Norman.
01:14Morning, Lolly.
01:16Good morning, Mr. Shenley.
01:18Now, now, Lolly, you know our agreement.
01:21Sorry. Good morning, Norman.
01:23That's better.
01:25Much better.
01:30Good morning, sir.
01:35Mr. Shenley.
01:36Yes, indeed.
01:37Good morning. My name is Rayburn.
01:39There is a property I should like to discuss with you.
01:41I see. Are you disposing of or purchasing?
01:44Selling.
01:45You're disposing of.
01:46Ah, very well.
01:47Would you sit down?
01:51Now, then, is the said property situated in the neighborhood?
01:55It's about 15 miles to the north, on a lane off the B2134.
01:59It's called Lower Moat Manor.
02:01Lower Moat Manor.
02:03And you are the vendor, sir?
02:05The owner?
02:06Ah, no. I am the chief executor of the former owner's estate.
02:10She died several years ago.
02:12I see. Coffee?
02:15I beg your pardon?
02:16Would you like a cup of coffee?
02:18My assistant, Miss Fellows here, will fix you a cup and a jiffy.
02:21Oh, thank you. No, thanks all the same.
02:24Not at all.
02:26When I say she died, actually, she disappeared.
02:30But now she's been legally pronounced dead, so I am in a position to put the house on the market.
02:33As chief executor.
02:34Exactly.
02:35And you want me to arrange the transaction?
02:39Well, I should like you to take a look at the place and discuss it with me.
02:43I've drawn a rough map of how to get there.
02:47And here are the keys.
02:49All right.
02:51I shall go and have a look at it this very morning, Mr. Rayburn.
02:54I would appreciate it.
02:55The executors would like to get it off their hands as quickly as possible.
02:58Yeah, well, leave it with me.
03:00These old properties can still fetch a very good price.
03:02Yes.
03:03I presume it is an old property.
03:06Oh, certainly, yes.
03:07Very old.
03:08With ten acres of ground, but not lived in for a number of years.
03:11As I understand, it's not to worry.
03:18I'll leave it with you for a moment.
03:19Good morning, Mr. Shannon.
03:21Good morning.
03:26Sounds as if it might fetch a good price.
03:30Did you get his address?
03:32No, let's be honest.
03:37It's funny it isn't.
03:38or his phone number
03:40no
03:42well never mind
03:42he'll get in touch
03:43with us sooner or later

09:00fell out. A body fell out. Right. Anyone we know? No. Anyone you know? Oh, for God's sake,
09:16Emily, don't start all that again. I'm not starting anything again. It's you that just
09:19about struggles me in the middle of the night. 5.30, actually. Guilty conscience, perhaps.
09:24Go back to sleep. I intend to.
09:31Not worth it for me. No. I'll get my own breakfast and get to the office early.
09:41Good idea. As always. Plenty to do.
09:50What time does she get there? Who, dear?
09:56Nothing.
10:10What time does she get there?
10:12I can't believe it.
10:12What time does she take her to do?
10:14What time does she have there?
10:15What time does she get there?
10:18B coisas a lot.
10:27What time is she going there?
10:41Oh, my God, you gave me a fright.
10:44I often get in early.
10:46You do? Why?
10:48You know, the early bird.
10:50What, me the worm?
10:52Could be, Norman. Could be.
10:56You look different, you know.
10:59From when?
11:00Yesterday.
11:02Yesterday was Sunday.
11:04Rubbish.
11:07Yesterday was...
11:08Oh, my God, yes.
11:11It was a terrible nightmare I had last night.
11:14Did I come into it, darling?
11:16No. No.
11:19Yes, but only in the beginning.
11:21I mean, there was this old house a man wanted to sell.
11:27I dreamt I drove out to have a look at it.
11:30Are you sure it didn't happen?
11:32Not to me it didn't, whatever it was.
11:35And this dead woman fell out of the dumb waiter.
11:38Charming! Not me, by any chance.
11:40No, no, it was, um...
11:44My wife.
11:46Oh, well, that doesn't need much explaining.
11:49But you don't have to kill a Mormon.
11:51Just divorce her.
11:53It was so real, Lolly.
11:54I can't believe the place doesn't exist.
11:56Lower Mote Manor, it was called.
11:59Well, where was he?
12:00In the dream, I mean.
12:02It was about 15 miles north.
12:04Well, why not try again?
12:07I think I might.
12:08I've still got that map the man gave me.
12:10I'll have a look.
12:12And then I'll find you.
12:16Well, don't be long, love.
12:17We've got a date tonight.
12:18Don't worry.
12:19It's engraved on my heart.
12:22Hey, Norman, hang about.
12:24If it was only a dream...
12:26A dream? It was a bloody nightmare.
12:28A nightmare, then.
12:29How come you've still got the map?
12:32How come I...
12:34Oh, God, I see what you mean.
12:37What the hell's going on?
12:39Well, start with a house there or not.
12:44Yes.
12:45Yes.
12:47Yes, start with a house.
12:49Yes.
12:50Yes.
12:51Yes.
12:53Yes.
12:58Yes.
13:00Yes.
13:06Yes.
13:07Oh, my God.
13:43Norman Chesney's assistant.
13:48Lolly?
13:49Yes, it's me. Any luck?
13:51There's not a sign of it.
13:52Did you follow the directions on the map?
13:54Yes, I did. I got it, but I...
13:56Norman, are you there?
13:58Norman?
14:06Hello?
14:07You shouldn't have killed her, Mr. Chesney.
14:09How did you get the...
14:10You shouldn't have killed your wife.
14:13Who the hell are you?
14:28Hey, you!
14:29Help me! Help me!
14:32Thank you!
14:33Please, help me!
14:34Help me!
14:36Please, please!
14:38I...
14:38I...
14:39I...
14:40Please!
14:41Help!
14:41Please, get me!
14:48Please, please!
14:53I...
14:56I...
14:57I...
14:57I...
14:58I...
15:17Oh, my darling, thank God you're here.
15:20There's some kind of poisonous gas or something.
15:23Heather, it's all right now.
15:25Your lolly's here.
15:42Oh, my darling, my dearest, it must be forever.
15:48It must be forever.
15:56Yes, yes.
15:59I love you.
16:01I love you.
16:08Now what's going on?
16:11It's all this I love you, I love you stuff.
16:15Oh, I was dreaming.
16:17For the moment, I thought I was.
16:19I can't remember when you said it last.
16:21It was making a funny noise, like kissing.
16:24I don't know what was happening.
16:26It was another nightmare.
16:28What do you mean, another nightmare?
16:29Like the one I had last night.
16:32No.
16:34The night before, I mean.
16:36First I've heard of it.
16:37But I told you, the old house and the dumb waiter and the body.
16:41I don't know what you're talking about.
16:44I can't believe, I can't believe the house wasn't there when I went back.
16:51Was it you were kissing?
16:53I didn't know I was.
16:55Must have been a change for you.
16:56Well, you wouldn't be interested.
16:58Not anymore, I wouldn't.
16:59Knowing you was thinking of somebody else.
17:01You should do as I ask.
17:02About what?
17:03About giving me a divorce.
17:04A divorce?
17:06Why on earth should I?
17:07It's not me that's done anything.
17:09Then what am I supposed to have done, for heaven's sake?
17:11Oh, don't give me that.
17:12All those secretaries you've had.
17:14Assistance.
17:15You imagine these things.
17:17All right.
17:18I'll go and start the breakfast.
17:35I know it was only a dream, Lolly, but it's wonderfully real.
17:39Wonderful.
17:40You shouldn't say things like that to me.
17:43Why not?
17:44Don't you want me to find you attractive?
17:45I don't mind.
17:47Don't mind?
17:48Is that all?
17:49No, I like it, Norman.
17:52But a girl has to think of her reputation.
17:55How do I know you're sincere?
17:57Me?
17:58You know I'd marry you tomorrow if I was free.
18:01I believe you, Norm.
18:03So get free.
18:04I'm doing my best, darling.
18:07How?
18:07Well, I've asked for a divorce more than once.
18:09Well, what if she keeps saying no?
18:11We'd better not.
18:12Well, what if she does?
18:14Well, I can always pack it in and leave, can't I?
18:16Can you afford to pay?
18:17Pay?
18:18Well, keep two women.
18:19Put it that way.
18:21Well, I don't see why not.
18:22I don't do badly here.
18:23No?
18:24Like that house you said you were dealing with.
18:26Disappearing into thin air.
18:28First it was there, you said.
18:29Then it wasn't.
18:30In both dreams, you said.
18:34That's right.
18:36So, now you're awake.
18:39Third time lucky, perhaps?
18:43You're right.
18:45I think I'll have just one more look.
18:48Just to satisfy myself.
18:50I don't know.
18:50I don't know.
19:01I don't know.
19:41BIRDS CHIRP
20:11Oh, good morning.
20:12Good morning, sir.
20:13My name is Shenley of Shenley & Company, estate agency.
20:17I wonder if the owner of the house is available for a word.
20:20Alay, you ship's still at breakfast, sir.
20:22Well, I wonder if you'd be good enough to hand in my card.
20:27Would you come this way, please, sir?
20:39Looks a tricky job.
20:40Very tricky, sir.
20:43Gonna give it a good clean, I expect.
20:45Exactly, sir.
20:47Lady Stradrick will see you now, sir.
20:48Oh, thank you.
21:00Mr. Shenley, your ladyship.
21:03Oh, how do you do, Lady Stradrick?
21:06It's very good of you to see me.
21:08Not at all.
21:08I don't get many visitors these days.
21:11Naval dear, bring another cup for Mr. Shenley.
21:14Very good, your ladyship.
21:16I must apologise for the disturbance in the hall.
21:20Oh, not at all.
21:21I always insisted that the chandelier should be taken down once a year and the pendants washed with soapy water.
21:28I believe that is the usual practice.
21:30Now, Mr. Shenley, what can I do for you?
21:34Lady Stradrick, I have a rather strange story to tell.
21:37How delightful, pray continue.
21:39Well, last night...
21:41Oh, no, wait a minute.
21:42It was several nights ago.
21:44I dreamt that a Mr. Rayburn...
21:47Well, perhaps I should first explain that I am an estate agent.
21:50So it says on your card, Mr. Shenley.
21:52Oh, yes, of course.
21:53And I think I may say, without undue modesty, to be the leading one in this neck of the woods.
21:59Neck of the woods, what a delightfully colourful phrase.
22:02Pray continue.
22:04Well, this Mr. Rayburn asked me to look over this house, Lower Moat Manor, with a view to selling.
22:13And a very pretty view, I always think.
22:15So I drove out here, and it was empty as far as I could make out, and very run-down.
22:21And I came into this room, and, well, behind that chiffonier there was a dumb waiter.
22:29How very interesting.
22:32It came up from below, in my dream, of course.
22:35Yes, yes, I follow you.
22:37Ah, thank you, Mabel.
22:39Do you take milk, Mr. Shenley, and sugar?
22:42No, please, no sugar.
22:44May I continue?
22:46Well, it turned out to be a nightmare.
22:51Quite horrific.
22:52But when I woke up, or thought I had, and tried to find this house, it wasn't here.
22:59Oh, God, what a lovely surprise.
23:02Oh, I'm so in sympathy with you, Mr. Shenley.
23:06Such stuff as dreams are made on.
23:10Not made of, which you often quoted wrongly.
23:16Do continue, and your tea.
23:19Well, now I've come back, and...
23:21There.
23:22I was wondering, but do you think it very forward, if I asked to look behind that piece of furniture,
23:28just to see if the dumb waiter's still there?
23:30Oh, please, do.
23:31Ooh!
23:49Ah.
23:50Have you discovered something, Mr. Shenley?
23:54No, Lady Strudwick, but it has a distinctly hollow sound.
23:57You see, this is where the dumb waiter would have been.
24:00Listen.
24:01Come in.
24:08Something the matter, Mr. Shenley?
24:09I thought I heard some... someone say, come in.
24:11Oh, quite possibly.
24:13I believe some stupid girl got herself walled in many years ago.
24:17No, but I mean...
24:19I must have been hearing things.
24:21I am a great believer in psychical manifestations, Mr. Shenley.
24:26I haven't been up to now.
24:28I consider that your first dream was a glimpse into the past, and the second, when this house wasn't here,
24:36into the future.
24:38Are you considering selling the house, then?
24:40I mean, that's really what I'm here for.
24:43Do you know the expression, one might as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb?
24:47Oh, yes, of course.
24:50I have a problem concerning this house.
24:53Do you smoke, Mr. Shenley?
24:55Thank you. Yes, I do.
24:59Balkans are brown at this side.
25:01Virgins in the middle.
25:02And Turkish are the other side.
25:05You shouldn't have done it, Mr. Shenley.
25:07Oh, my God, no!
25:08Such a pretty little tune.
25:10Help me! Help me!
25:12You shouldn't have killed your wife.
25:14I can't help you, Mr. Shenley.
25:16You see, I'm dead.
25:20Aren't you?
25:22Mr. Rayburn will take care of everything.
25:27Mr. Rayburn will take care of everything.
25:50Mr. Shenley.
25:51Oh, my God!
25:52Oh, my God!
25:55Oh, my God!
25:56Oh, my God!
25:56Try to strangle yourself!
25:58Don't shoot me!
25:58Get me bloody thing off!
26:00Hold it off me during the night, then round and round your neck!
26:02Are you trying to strangle me?
26:04Not me!
26:05It's you that twist and turn and laugh and kiss!
26:07I don't know the ways to laugh!
26:09Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
26:12God, what's happening to me?
26:13Try and get back to normal.
26:15Bath, breakfast, office, sweet mystery of life.
26:37Not a bloody nightmare.
26:40That house we talked about yesterday.
26:42What house?
26:43Lower Moat Manor, for God's sake.
26:45What other house?
26:46The one I've been dreaming about.
26:47Just it's there, then it's not there, then it's there again.
26:50A bloody hangman this time!
26:52Easy does it, Norman, lad.
26:53Just because you go on dreaming, there's no call to take it out on me.
26:56No, no, of course not, lad.
26:57I'm sorry.
26:58Forgive me, darling.
27:11And, erm, what's on the agenda?
27:15That block of flats.
27:17Oh, yes.
27:19They're in a terrible state.
27:21Well, perhaps they could be patched up and renovated.
27:24Anyway, let's go and survey them.
27:26Damn it all, I am a surveyor.
27:28And afterwards?
27:31After what?
27:33After we've surveyed.
27:35What did you have in mind?
27:39I thought you might take me out.
27:41To dinner?
27:41Why not?
27:42Why not, indeed.
27:45What are you going to tell your wife?
27:48You leave that to me, sweetheart.
27:50Just get her on the blower.
28:02Oh!
28:14Yes?
28:15Mrs. Shenley?
28:18Yes?
28:18I have Mr. Shenley for you.
28:24Hello?
28:25Yes?
28:27It's Norman, dear.
28:28Mark Abbott.
28:29You're going to be late home.
28:31How did you guess?
28:32There's a property you can only see over at night.
28:35Absolutely right.
28:36You don't expect to be home after midnight?
28:38Probably not.
28:39You rotten sod.
28:40You don't fool me.
28:42No, Emily.
28:43You don't sell anything on these nightly excursions, do you?
28:46Or do you?
28:47And what?
28:48Look, if you're so bloody fed up, why don't you give me a divorce?
28:51Because I wouldn't wish you onto any other poor sucker of a woman.
28:55Well, if you've got to be like that.
28:57Bitch.
28:59Well done, Norman.
29:00Keep it up.
29:01Bitch.
29:02One of these days.
29:03One of these days soon, Norman.
29:06Soon.
29:07I mean, she's got no understanding, no sympathy.
29:10Nightmares.
29:11Not a word.
29:12Not a word.
29:15There, there.
29:17Not to worry.
29:18Lolly.
29:20Lolly will look after you.
29:22Lolly will love you.
29:24Lolly will come with lovely Norman to survey the silly old block of flat.
29:50Vandals.
29:52Little bastards.
29:57Press caretaker's bell, 8.30 to 6.30.
30:00It was quarter to five.
30:02Funny way to greet the surveyor if they really want to know the facts.
30:06I wouldn't want to live here.
30:08I'd have it demolished pronto.
30:10It might be worth reclaiming if the building itself is sound.
30:15Okay, no caretaker.
30:16What do we do now?
30:17We start at the roof and work down.
30:29Let me drive.
30:31Which floor?
30:31The top.
30:35Darling, darling.
30:37Oh, yes, Norman.
30:39I'll pack up and leave tomorrow.
30:42Kiss me.
30:49Best time in a lift.
31:08Four floors.
31:09Not enough.
31:10Not as nice as a phone box, is it, Lolly?
31:13Is it?
31:14Phone box, don't you do?
31:16Oh, no.
31:17That was a dream, wasn't it?
31:19How do we get up to the roof?
31:20Up the apples, darling.
31:22You first.
31:23It's all right, lover.
31:36Are you ready, Miss Fellows?
31:38Aye, aye, darling.
31:40Flat roof.
31:41Lead.
31:42May I be eroded?
31:45That is rusting.
31:46Paintwork peeling.
31:48Got that?
31:49Sort of.
31:52Norman.
31:53What?
31:53What?
31:58Look down there.
31:59It's nothing, just maintenance.
32:01Well, I don't like the look of it.
32:03Me perched up here?
32:05Don't you trust me, Lolly?
32:06Would I expose you to anything dangerous?
32:08I don't think that's funny.
32:10It's not meant to be funny.
32:12Anyhow, I want out for one.
32:14All right, darling, we'll go down.
32:24What did it open, Norman?
32:30God Almighty, they're going to knock us out!
32:32I don't know.
32:33They would never have sent me here.
32:34Where?
32:35Where did they send you?
32:36Oh, here.
32:36Here, of course.
32:37Well, what does it say on there?
32:39It says, um, Campbell Building C Block.
32:41That's right, isn't it?
32:42That's wrong, you half-wit.
32:43This is A Block.
32:44It's not.
32:45It is.
32:46I saw it on the entrance as we came in.
32:47God Almighty.
33:21Keep your head, Norman.
33:22Keep your head.
33:23Keep it up.
33:31Can't pond.
33:39I feel good, Willie.
33:40I'm gonna take it on my spot.
33:40Pack.
33:41Easy!
33:41Tag.
33:42Screw it!
33:42No!
33:42You made it up.
33:42– I dare say not to me.
33:42No!
33:52The head is soiestime!�
33:59Oh, my God.
34:28Oh, my God.
34:38Where are you?
34:39Can I help you, Mr. Shenley?
34:41I am the car taker.
34:43Let me wake up.
34:45Dear God, let me wake up.
34:46You shouldn't have done it, Mr. Shenley.
34:50You shouldn't have killed your wife.
34:56There's something very wrong.
34:58What?
34:59I do all I can.
35:00I can't hear you.
35:02He's so stubborn.
35:05I think we should make an appointment.
35:10Appointment.
35:12Appointment.
35:13Something very wrong.
35:15Yes, Doctor.
35:18When I've spoken to him, I'll phone you back and make an appointment.
35:22Yes, very worrying.
35:25And there's something else.
35:30He has formed a, well, a liaison with his secretary.
35:37Well, I suppose it's an affair, though that would surprise me, as he hasn't thrown any enthusiasm in that department
35:41for a number of years.
35:44Yes, Doctor, of course.
35:48Goodbye.
35:56Norman?
35:57Norman?
35:58Ah.
35:59There you are.
35:59You've overslept again.
36:01Oh.
36:02Uh-huh.
36:04That's unlike me.
36:07All these dreams.
36:09All what dreams?
36:10I told you.
36:12The old house.
36:14The telephone booth.
36:15And now the demolition site.
36:18I haven't the faintest idea what you're on about.
36:21No, I suppose not.
36:23But one thing I do know.
36:24You're not yourself.
36:26No?
36:27Oh.
36:28Perhaps that's just as well.
36:29What does that mean?
36:31Nothing.
36:34You ought to see Dr Melbury.
36:37Why?
36:38Because I say so.
36:41And if I tell him I want a divorce and he agrees with me, will you give me one?
36:46Divorce?
36:46We have talked about it before, you know.
36:48When?
36:49Yesterday, just before I went to the survey on that block of...
36:55No, no, it was on the rue.
36:57You see, it's all a dream.
36:59It's been going on now for days.
37:01You see, you do need to see the doctor.
37:04All right, but I also need a divorce.
37:07Well, you go and be looked at first, and then we'll talk about it.
37:13Very well.
37:14I'll go and ring for an appointment.
37:16I'll drink your tea.
37:27You can see clearly this mass adjacent to the brain cells.
37:32Very clearly.
37:34The radiologist says there's no doubt about it, I'm afraid.
37:38It's the tumour on the brain.
37:40It's serious, then?
37:46Very serious.
37:48Indeed, if we're to succeed, you must go straight from here into hospital and have it removed.
37:52I see.
37:54Then there's really no alternative.
37:57Is there, Norman?
37:59No.
38:01No, no.
38:02Let's get it over with as quickly as possible.
38:24Self-hold.
38:26Self-hold.
38:27. . .
38:40Saw?
38:41Something not quite right here, sir.
38:43Huh?
38:44Heartbeat irregular. Very irregular.
38:47Oh, sir.
38:52Seems to be going.
38:58It's responding.
39:09Pulse suite to zero, falling.
39:20Heartbeat stop.
39:24He's gone.
39:32Poor Chad
39:36There's nothing we could do
39:38Nothing
39:39Flood heart
39:42I'll go and get a porter
39:44The porters are on strike
39:47Then we'll wheel him down ourselves
40:19The porters are on strike
40:52The porters are on strike
41:09The porters are on strike
41:39The porters are on strike
41:55I don't know.
42:32I don't know.
43:00I don't know.
43:42I don't know.
43:49I don't know.
43:49Shenley's office. Good morning.
43:52Is Mr. Shenley there?
43:53He hasn't come in yet.
43:56Who's speaking?
43:58When do you expect him?
44:00He usually comes in at nine.
44:03Who is speaking?
44:05I'll ring back a bit, please.
44:22Good morning, Mr. Shenley.
44:23Lolly, I expect you're wondering why I'm turning up at ten at Emma instead of nine.
44:29There was a phone call for you a minute ago, but the gentleman wouldn't leave a message.
44:33Lolly, Lolly, guess what?
44:35No idea, Mr. Shenley.
44:38I'm now free to marry you.
44:41You're what?
44:42Like I said I would.
44:43Mr. Shenley, don't.
44:45Back to Mr. Shenley, is it?
44:46Well, we'll soon see about that.
44:48Oh, yes.
44:48Oh, take a damn to it, miss.
44:50But that's why I'm late.
44:52Sometimes I've made up my mind.
44:54Go on.
44:55Open it.
44:56Open it.
45:00Diamonds!
45:00But I don't get it, Mr. Shenley.
45:02But you've got it, Lolly.
45:06You see, this is for all we've meant to each other in the past.
45:12And we'll go on, really.
45:14Now.
45:15Is it feeling all right, Mr. Shenley?
45:17All right.
45:18I'm on top of the world.
45:21Because now we can be together till death us do part.
45:26Please, Mr. Shenley, please.
45:29What are you up to?
45:30What's the matter?
45:31Darling, darling, Lolly.
45:32I know it was only a dream, but let's make the most of it.
45:35Let's keep it a dream, a simple dream.
45:37No more nightmares.
45:41Well, who have we here?
45:43Hello, Mr. Shenley.
45:44That's me in person.
45:46I don't suppose you remember me, sir.
45:47But I do.
45:48I do.
45:49Yes, three months ago, this office was broken into.
45:52You called the police.
45:53I was...
45:53Yes, but I've seen you since then.
45:55You have?
45:56I don't recall...
45:57Oh, yes.
45:58Mr. Rayburn.
45:59The tramp.
46:00The car taker.
46:01Care taker.
46:03That rogue of a surgeon.
46:05I'm not quite with you, Mr. Shenley.
46:07Oh, I'm getting used to it.
46:09To what, exactly, sir?
46:11A long, long dream, one into the other.
46:16Like death.
46:18Death, sir.
46:21Mr. Shenley, I have to ask you a few questions.
46:24Far away.
46:25When you left your house this morning...
46:27Oh, but did I?
46:28Pardon?
46:28Well, I may have done, or I may not have done, depending where I am in the dream.
46:33Well, let us put it this way.
46:35If you left your house this morning, was everything as usual?
46:38Oh, yes.
46:39It's much the same as any other morning.
46:42Except, of course, this time my wife was dead.
46:46That is correct, sir.
46:48I suppose I should have been surprised that she was found so quickly, but I'm not.
46:53It seems there's no sense of time in dreams.
46:55But I'll tell you one thing.
46:56Do you know?
46:57It was all in colour.
47:00Has your wife's sister called at the house and found her in the bedroom?
47:02That's right.
47:03Except, of course, my wife doesn't have a sister.
47:07You shouldn't have killed your wife, Mr. Shenley.
47:10That's it!
47:11That's the voice on the speaking tube, in the telephone booth, in the cigarette box.
47:15Mr. Shenley, I must ask you to accompany me to the station.
47:18What, to help you with your inquiries?
47:21Of course I will.
47:21Happy to oblige.
47:22And before you know it, quite a different dream will begin.
47:25What makes you think this is a dream, sir?
47:27Well, I'll tell you.
47:27You see, when the dream began, you told me that I'd killed my wife on Friday the 13th.
47:32Well, Friday the 13th must have been several days ago.
47:35No, Mr. Shenley.
47:39Today is Friday the 13th.
47:54Oh, my God, no.
47:57No, it's not.
47:59No.
48:01Look, I never killed Emily.
48:04No, she fell out of bed and hit her head on the floor.
48:09I'm alone, sir.
48:11Definitely, it's not fair.
48:13I thought it was still a dream.
48:16Nolly, tell them I love you.
48:17Tell them I only did it so they could be married.
48:19She insisted, Inspector.
48:21She wouldn't let me touch her.
48:23I don't know what he's on about.
48:25Honestly.
48:26Not to worry, miss.
48:26We'll take care of him.
48:27It is a dream.
48:28I know it's a dream.
48:29It's more like a dream than all the other things.
48:31Is he nutting or something?
48:33No, we'll work something out.
48:34Don't let them take me away.
48:35I don't know if you'll, but I love you.
48:37Nolly, please.
48:38Don't let them take me away.
48:40Perhaps you wouldn't mind coming out of the station later and making a statement.
48:43I'd be happy to, Inspector.
48:47Spooky, isn't it?
48:49You could say that.
48:52You know where I hang out, do you?
48:55I'll find my way.
48:57Good.
48:58I'll see you then.
49:24Shenley's.
49:26Is Mr. Shenley there?
49:29He isn't here at the moment.
49:32Can I help you?
49:34My name is Rayburn.
49:37Yes, Mr. Rayburn.
49:39I represent a property called Lower Moat Manor.
49:43Lower Moat Manor?
49:44I should like to place the property on the market.
49:48When will Mr. Shenley be back in the office?
49:51It's very difficult to say at the moment, sir.
49:57It may be some time.
49:59Amen.
50:07And...
50:08What?
50:09What?
50:09What?
50:11What?
50:11Who?
50:11What?
50:11You might?
50:11You might want to find me.
