00:00:08The End
00:00:38The End
00:01:00The End
00:01:25As long as I live,
00:01:27no matter how far I go from the scene of it,
00:01:31I shall never forget how it started.
00:01:51In those days, I lived in Coyne Street near Waterloo Bridge.
00:01:55I had a strange feeling that someone was watching our lodging house.
00:01:59I was working in the chorus of the Cambridge Theatre,
00:02:02and several nights when I came home late,
00:02:05I caught a glimpse of a figure lurking in the shadows.
00:02:09Of course, at that time, I had no idea of the connection
00:02:12between this stranger and my friend Daisy Arrow.
00:02:24Oh, say, you are in.
00:02:26What's the idea of not answering?
00:02:28I didn't know it was you.
00:02:31I say, you left your blind up.
00:02:34Don't do that.
00:02:37Blimey, you are in a stew.
00:02:39Sorry, Belle.
00:02:40I'm not the jumpy.
00:02:42Who is it, Daisy?
00:02:44I don't want to talk about it.
00:02:45Oh, come on, you can tell me.
00:02:48Well, have it your own way.
00:02:49Is he rich?
00:02:50Please, Belle.
00:02:52I just popped in to ask you something,
00:02:54because you've got such good taste.
00:02:55There's a sale of feather boas tomorrow
00:02:57at Obson Sun at Waterloo Road.
00:02:59I thought if I could go in there in the morning before rehearsal,
00:03:02maybe you could come down and...
00:03:04You have to excuse me, Belle.
00:03:05I have a dreadful headache.
00:03:08I'm sorry, dear.
00:03:09Can I make you a cup of tea?
00:03:11No, thanks.
00:03:12Righto.
00:03:13I'll see you in the morning.
00:03:14Night.
00:03:14Good night.
00:03:43Daisy's odd behavior made no impression.
00:03:45on me, whatever.
00:03:47By the next morning at rehearsal,
00:03:49I had forgotten all about it.
00:03:51Where's Belle-Adeer?
00:03:52Belle-Adeer?
00:03:53Where is she?
00:03:54I'm going to find her.
00:03:56Belle-Adeer!
00:03:56If she's late,
00:03:58once more,
00:03:58just once more,
00:04:00out she goes.
00:04:01Oh, I understand.
00:04:02Oh, Mr. Father, girl,
00:04:03I'm that sorry,
00:04:04and I was here all the time.
00:04:06I hadn't the faintest idea you wanted me.
00:04:08You hadn't the faintest idea.
00:04:10Well, get in line
00:04:11and take it from the chorus
00:04:12and make it lively.
00:04:14Are you ready?
00:04:15Three,
00:04:15one,
00:04:16two.
00:04:39Alf?
00:04:40Yes, Miss Daisy?
00:04:40Has anybody asked for me?
00:04:42No, not yet.
00:04:45Daisy! Daisy! Go on, wear it.
00:04:50Thanks. It is pretty.
00:04:53There. Now you look like a lady.
00:04:57And I hope you make it.
00:05:00You don't understand, Belle.
00:05:02Anyhow, good luck to you.
00:05:04You look ever so pretty.
00:05:07Daisy, me proud Irish beauty.
00:05:11How about a bit of supper?
00:05:12I can always eat, Georgie.
00:05:15Well...
00:05:16It was sweet of you to pay me cab fare this morning.
00:05:20I'm a sweet man.
00:05:22I wish I could say the same for me landlord.
00:05:24He got very narrow-minded about a nasty little one pound eight that he claims is overdue.
00:05:28Yeah, bagger-tell.
00:05:29Oh, it isn't that so much, the one pound eights are dropped in the bucket.
00:05:32But I was a week behind last month also.
00:05:35What's said to George Gilby, the long-lost heir?
00:05:37I got a cab.
00:05:39Good night, Daisy.
00:05:39Good auntie.
00:05:45Look now, Daisy.
00:05:46In case your, er, gent shouldn't turn up, you're welcome to come along with me and Georgie.
00:05:52That's civil of you, Belle.
00:05:53But he'll be here.
00:05:56Miss Daisy Harrer?
00:05:57That's me.
00:05:58Do you mind if I have a peek at him?
00:06:00He'll be a fool.
00:06:04Hello.
00:06:05I was about to give you up.
00:06:06It just struck twelve on St. Paul's.
00:06:08What?
00:06:08I said it just struck twelve on St. Paul's.
00:06:22I tried to get a peek at Daisy's friend.
00:06:24I liked his voice.
00:06:26Sort of foreign-like.
00:06:28I wonder where Daisy found him?
00:06:29Oh, probably some Italian or Portuguese prince.
00:06:32The town's crawling with him.
00:06:34Crown and bottle.
00:06:35Right-o.
00:06:49Here's a fiver.
00:06:50How's that?
00:06:50Oh, thank you, Georgie.
00:06:53Of course, it's only a loan.
00:06:55You're so kind.
00:06:56I'm a blooming fool about you, Belle.
00:06:57No mistake.
00:06:58Oh, no, please.
00:06:59The cabbie might see you.
00:07:00You weren't afraid he'd see me giving you that fiver.
00:07:01Not now, Georgie.
00:07:02We'll soon be at me lodgings.
00:07:03Then you'll be afraid the landlord might see it.
00:07:05No, I won't, Georgie.
00:07:05Please, Georgie.
00:07:06I want to talk to you.
00:07:07Oh, we can talk tomorrow.
00:07:09No.
00:07:09I want to ask you advice on something because you're such an intelligent man.
00:07:13Oh.
00:07:14What do you want my advice on?
00:07:19Georgie.
00:07:20How do you get to be a lady?
00:07:22What?
00:07:23How do you get to be a lady?
00:07:26How do you get to be a lady?
00:07:28How do you get to be a lady?
00:07:29You are a lady, Duck.
00:07:30No, I'm not.
00:07:31Not a real one.
00:07:32You feeling all right?
00:07:33Ain't got a fever.
00:07:34No, I'm serious, Georgie.
00:07:37It must be wonderful not to have to pretend.
00:07:40I mean, a lady's so sure of herself.
00:07:43The way she walks.
00:07:44The way she talks.
00:07:45I've watched them at the theatre.
00:07:47The real ladies.
00:07:48You've only got to glance at them and you know that they are.
00:07:52Me, now.
00:07:54Tradespeople and servants look down their noses at me.
00:07:57They know what I am.
00:07:58Yeah, now, Duck, enough of that talk.
00:07:59Lady or no lady, you're my cup of tea.
00:08:02Georgie, please.
00:08:03Georgie, please.
00:08:03Please, Georgie.
00:08:12Oh!
00:08:14Daisy's home already.
00:08:15Shall we give her a serenade?
00:08:16You keep quiet.
00:08:17Daisy's got a temper like a wildcat.
00:08:19Oh, how much?
00:08:21Bit of red and wait.
00:08:22Cabs are hard to find around here this late.
00:08:24Hi there.
00:08:25I'll end up here, Jiffy.
00:08:26It's all the same to me, Governor.
00:08:31Oh!
00:08:32I must have left me gloves in the cab.
00:08:35Oh!
00:08:35I'll get them.
00:08:42I don't see any sign of them, Duck.
00:08:52Bell!
00:08:55Bell!
00:08:57Bell!
00:08:59Bell!
00:09:01No help.
00:09:03Never learn.
00:09:04Back to the crown of bottles.
00:09:06Right-o.
00:09:07Yeah.
00:09:14Keep your shirt on.
00:09:15I won't be a minute.
00:09:17Oh!
00:09:18All right, all right.
00:09:20I'm...
00:09:20I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
00:09:22But that's a game that two can play.
00:09:24Never mind.
00:09:25Never mind.
00:09:45Hello, Daisy.
00:09:46How about a cup of tea?
00:09:50I saw your top.
00:09:51I must say he's rather handsome.
00:09:55Oh, come on now.
00:09:56No games.
00:09:57I saw his lordship in the...
00:10:08Daisy!
00:10:22Ah!
00:10:24Ah!
00:10:25Ah!
00:10:27Ah!
00:10:28Ah!
00:10:29Ah!
00:10:29What's wrong?
00:10:30It's Daisy!
00:10:31She's dead!
00:10:34Oh!
00:10:37According to the police, Daisy had been drugged and then smothered or strangled.
00:10:43They questioned us for more than an hour and took samples of the tea that was left in our half
00:10:49-empty cup.
00:10:49Oh!
00:10:50Is this your Bible too?
00:10:51Bible?
00:10:54Never saw it before.
00:10:59I...
00:11:00I don't think it was Daisy's.
00:11:02How do you know?
00:11:03Well, she wasn't much for barbels or flowers.
00:11:06Poor thing.
00:11:07They both are a great blessing.
00:11:08I don't know what I should do without my garden.
00:11:11Seems to be a well-grown moss rose.
00:11:13A moss rose?
00:11:16Why, I haven't seen one since I was a child.
00:11:19They don't mature well unless they have a very acid soil.
00:11:22I hope you haven't lost the place it was in, sir.
00:11:24Oh, good heavens, how careless of me.
00:11:27But then I don't suppose it matters much?
00:11:29It might be very important, sir.
00:11:30It was on page 132, sir.
00:11:33How do you know?
00:11:35Well, I looked.
00:11:37Just before you came in.
00:11:40My mother always used to mark her place like that.
00:11:43Only she used a sprig of pennywort.
00:11:45When did you say you left the West Country?
00:11:48Oh, I didn't say, sir.
00:11:51But how could you tell that's where I'm from?
00:11:54Pennywort prefers to grow in the West Country.
00:11:57The moss rose is more capricious one is apt to find it almost anywhere in England.
00:12:00Well, at least we can concentrate our search on England, eh, Evans?
00:12:04England is a pretty big place, sir.
00:12:06If we have to search all the gardens and all shires looking for moss roses...
00:12:10You wouldn't discover any.
00:12:11The moss rose is out of season now.
00:12:13Then where did this one come from?
00:12:15That is precisely what we must find out.
00:12:26Why would anybody want to murder Daisy Arrow?
00:12:29I kept asking myself over and over.
00:12:34And what had a moss rose pressed in the pages of a Bible to do with it?
00:12:39And what of the man I'd seen leaving Daisy's room?
00:12:44Somehow I had a feeling he was the same man I'd seen the night before in the cab at the
00:12:49theatre.
00:13:05I had forgotten all about the cab and the white horse until then.
00:13:09Of course, in London a white horse was no novelty.
00:13:12Yet there was always a chance it might be the one.
00:13:18Here you are. My kitten knows enough for you, Harry.
00:13:21Almost thought I wasn't going to get here.
00:13:23When I popped a feather brought me right to your door.
00:13:25Hello, young bell. There's been a basin full of bother up your way, I hear.
00:13:28And you'll be hearing more. Is that your cab outside?
00:13:31If you wait till I finish this nice dish of tripe, I'll be glad to go out and have a
00:13:35look.
00:13:35The one with the white horse, is that yours?
00:13:37Will you call him white, Bert?
00:13:39Well, being a friend of both parties, I wouldn't like to give an opinion.
00:13:42I don't care what you call him. You took a gent from here about an hour ago, didn't you?
00:13:47Who says so?
00:13:48A dark, foreign-looking gent and a grey hat and a light raglan.
00:13:52I've carried dark, foreign-looking gents in grey hats.
00:13:56I've carried dark, foreign-looking gents in light raglans.
00:13:59But I don't remember as if I've carried one as wore both.
00:14:02Now, my dear, not if you gave me a stack of Bibles that high to kiss.
00:14:06One on top of the other, and me a gourd-fearing man to boot.
00:14:11Where'd you take him?
00:14:13Who?
00:14:13That gent.
00:14:14What gent?
00:14:15The one you took away from here.
00:14:16I don't remember saying I took anybody.
00:14:19Hey, Bert, me lad, how about another half point?
00:14:22Help yourself. I'm busy.
00:14:24Why no.
00:14:27Now, look here, mister. You tell me where you took that gent, and I'll buy you the half-pant a
00:14:32bit, huh?
00:14:32I can buy me own, thanky.
00:14:34Now, look here. You take my advice and leave gents alone.
00:14:38They're not for the likes of you. You'll only borrow trouble, as you probably have already.
00:14:43The likes of me? Who do you think you're talking to?
00:14:46I knows a real gent when I sees one.
00:14:49And I knows you lasses that go fooling about where you don't belong.
00:14:53You keep your place and make them keep theirs.
00:14:56You'll be better off, mark my words.
00:14:58How do you know I'm no lady?
00:15:01Well, first place, you don't dress like one.
00:15:05Second place, you don't talk like one.
00:15:08Third place, you don't act like one.
00:15:10He's looking at you.
00:15:12I catches your eye.
00:15:16Um, my father always said it.
00:15:20Your father?
00:15:22Where did he drive a cab?
00:15:24He had a stand in Piccadilly.
00:15:26In Piccadilly?
00:15:27Why didn't you say so?
00:15:29What was his name?
00:15:29Pat Linton.
00:15:30Pat Linton?
00:15:31I never knew him, but I knew fellows are dead.
00:15:33Good friends of mine.
00:15:35He's dead now, eh?
00:15:36Poor last, did that bloke in the cab do you wrong?
00:15:39That's my affair.
00:15:40Pat Linton's daughter.
00:15:42Well, I'll be blowed.
00:15:46Now, the gent in question gave me a nice tip.
00:15:49But if you're Pat Linton's daughter, he paid me off in Hyde Park.
00:15:52Hyde Park?
00:15:54But that's a big park.
00:15:55Hold on.
00:15:56I picked up a fare on the bounce.
00:15:58And on the way back here to eat this lovely dish of tripe,
00:16:01who should I see going into the Regency Hotel?
00:16:03In?
00:16:04Big as life.
00:16:06Gray at and all.
00:16:07Thanks.
00:16:08I'll do as much for you sometime.
00:16:12Eye catches your eye.
00:16:36What is somebody as a Unf exhibitionsη‘γ«γγ1B4 current?
00:16:53That's Cerely, but it's a beautiful house that I explained in that sense.
00:16:54This way, mil Gary.
00:16:56Very great.
00:16:58Hello, Micheal.
00:17:06Mother, what in the world are you?
00:17:14Hello, Audrey. Strange, I was just thinking of you.
00:17:16Were you, darling?
00:17:22How are you?
00:17:24I'm extremely well.
00:17:26Have you had lunch?
00:17:28You haven't even said you're surprised to see us.
00:17:30Surprised?
00:17:32As I told you, to be thinking of someone who's far away.
00:17:35Then suddenly look up and there she is.
00:17:37There's more to that than surprise.
00:17:40I thought you both were in the country. Did you just arrive?
00:17:43No, my dear. Last night.
00:17:45We inquired for you, but you were out.
00:17:47Why, I'm sorry I wasn't in.
00:17:49But then I didn't know.
00:17:51It doesn't matter.
00:17:53Nothing matters except seeing you again.
00:17:55Isn't there a waiter in the whole of London?
00:17:57I'm sorry, Mother.
00:18:07You'll leave with us tonight on the six o'clock train.
00:18:09I'm afraid I can't.
00:18:11Lady Margaret and I have got some shopping to do, but we could be ready, Bass.
00:18:14I'm sorry, I can't go with you.
00:18:15Not tonight.
00:18:16But I want to leave as soon as I can.
00:18:20It would be good to be back in the country again.
00:18:24We can take long walks on the moor.
00:18:27Like we used to, darling.
00:18:30You and Mother leave tonight.
00:18:31I promise to join you well as soon as I can.
00:18:53At Daisy's funeral, there were only a few girls from the theater.
00:18:58All through the ceremony, I kept thinking about the man in the white coat.
00:19:03I had a feeling he was somewhere near, watching us.
00:19:08Come on.
00:19:57We always seem to meet Norway's, don't we, Mr. Drago?
00:20:03Come in.
00:20:15Come in.
00:20:19They certainly do you well here.
00:20:21I had a friend that lived here once.
00:20:24But he's gone to England.
00:20:25Jack Sinclair, do you know him?
00:20:30Well, aren't you going to offer a lady a chair?
00:20:34Who are you?
00:20:35My name's Bella Dea.
00:20:37What do you want?
00:20:39I live on the same floor as Daisy Arrow.
00:20:42I saw you coming out of her room Sunday morning.
00:20:45Don't you remember me?
00:20:47I've never seen you before in my life.
00:20:49Oh, yes, you have.
00:20:50I saw you when you called for Daisy at the stage door Saturday night.
00:20:54I was with her.
00:20:55You're mistaken.
00:20:57I've never heard of anybody by the name of Daisy Arrow.
00:21:00You're a cool one.
00:21:03You mustn't think nobody knows I've come here.
00:21:06Be kind enough to state your business and get out.
00:21:08I wasn't the only one that saw you at the stage door.
00:21:12I had a friend with me.
00:21:13He saw you plain as I did.
00:21:16You cheap little blackmailer.
00:21:18We're not discussing blackmail, Mr. Drago.
00:21:20We're discussing murder.
00:21:24Murder?
00:21:24You mean you haven't even been curious enough to read about it in the piper?
00:21:29You can't scare me.
00:21:31You killed Daisy Arrow.
00:21:33I saw you that night and I saw you coming out of her room Sunday morning.
00:21:36And what's more, the cabman that drove you to Eyed Park can identify you.
00:21:39In that case, why haven't you gone to the police?
00:21:41The inquiry is tomorrow.
00:21:44If you weren't more of a fool than a blackmailer,
00:21:48I'd go to the police myself and have you put away.
00:21:52I think our discussion is over, miss.
00:21:56Whatever your name is.
00:22:01You'll be sorry.
00:22:03It wasn't much I was going to ask.
00:22:06I'm asking you to go.
00:22:08That's not much either.
00:22:11You're making a very big mistake, Mr. Drago.
00:23:05You're making a very important feast.
00:23:10As a rule, I don't bother with anonymous communications, Mr. Drago,
00:23:14but in murder cases, we're not permitted to use ordinary discretion.
00:23:19I understand, Inspector.
00:23:22And I appreciate the discretion you've shown in bringing me here.
00:23:26Not at all.
00:23:27And now, if you could give us a fairly accurate description
00:23:29of your movements during these intervals,
00:23:32Evans has it all worked out.
00:23:34Let me see.
00:23:37That night, I dined with Major Jameson at his club.
00:23:40We played billiards until midnight.
00:23:42Then I walked up Piccadilly.
00:23:44I returned to my hotel...
00:23:47Oh, about 12.45.
00:23:50Did the porter give you your key?
00:23:52Yes.
00:23:57Cigarette?
00:24:04And then you retired for the night.
00:24:07Yes.
00:24:08And the next morning?
00:24:11Next morning.
00:24:16That was Sunday.
00:24:17I got up around 10,
00:24:19and after having breakfast in the grill,
00:24:22I took a walk in Hyde Park until lunchtime.
00:24:25Where did you go for lunch?
00:24:27I came back to the Regency.
00:24:28The Regency.
00:24:29I don't blame you.
00:24:30Excellent cuisine at the Regency.
00:24:34And now, just one more question, Mr. Draco.
00:24:36Your father was not a British subject, was he?
00:24:39No.
00:24:40He was not.
00:24:41I hope you don't mind my asking.
00:24:43Purely routine, you know.
00:24:44And you yourself have lived a good part of your life away from England.
00:24:48That is, in Canada?
00:24:49Yes.
00:24:50But your mother is English, if I'm not mistaken.
00:24:54Yes.
00:24:55And the Draco estate is?
00:24:57Charnley Manor.
00:25:02And that's in Devonshire, isn't it?
00:25:05Yes.
00:25:06Mr. Draco.
00:25:08Would you be able to say if there's an arbor of moss roses at Charnley Manor?
00:25:14Moss roses?
00:25:15Yes.
00:25:17I...
00:25:18I'm not sure.
00:25:20It's...
00:25:20quite possible, though.
00:25:23Our gardens have all the Devonshire flowers.
00:25:26Oh, I see you're interested in flowers, Mr. Draco.
00:25:29So am I.
00:25:30So am I.
00:25:31Floral geography is a hobby of mine.
00:25:34Look at these begonias.
00:25:35I raise them from seed.
00:25:45Evans?
00:25:47Yes, sir?
00:25:50Please ask Miss Adair to step into your room for a moment.
00:25:53Place her as close to the door as possible, so she can hear clearly,
00:25:57and at the same time not be able to see anyone in this room.
00:26:00Yes, sir.
00:26:01And also ask Mr. Stevens and Mr. Thompson to come in here.
00:26:03Yes, sir.
00:26:05By the way, you don't know Miss Adair, do you, Miss Belladair?
00:26:09No, I don't think so.
00:26:11Why? Did she say she knows me?
00:26:13No, she didn't.
00:26:14I hate to trouble you with all this fault around Mr. Draco,
00:26:17but Miss Adair claims she saw the principal suspect in a cab
00:26:21when he called for the deceased at the Cambridge Theatre the night of the murder.
00:26:24She also heard him speak to the deceased.
00:26:27I never place much reliance in these voice tests,
00:26:29but this girl insists she can recognize the voice.
00:26:33So just for the sake of a clear record,
00:26:35I wonder if you'd mind submitting to a test.
00:26:38Why, you don't give me much choice.
00:26:40I have none myself, Mr. Draco.
00:26:42I don't doubt your word,
00:26:43but certain areas in your statement leave room for reasonable conjecture,
00:26:48which I hope this voice test will eliminate.
00:26:51Come in.
00:26:58Will you please read this aloud when I give you the word?
00:27:02And you do the same, Mr. Draco.
00:27:04Of course, it's all a lot of nonsense,
00:27:06but I'll try and get it over as quickly as possible.
00:27:09Evans, you stay with Miss Adair and take note of her reactions.
00:27:12Yes, sir.
00:27:20Come in, please, Mr. Dan.
00:27:25Sit there.
00:27:34Ready, sir?
00:27:38You're early.
00:27:39It just struck 12 on St. Paul's.
00:27:43You're early.
00:27:44It just struck 12 on St. Paul's.
00:27:46You're early.
00:27:47It just struck 12 on St. Paul's.
00:27:50They're terribly alike, aren't they?
00:27:53But it seemed that the second one...
00:28:03The second one, she said, although she wasn't absolutely positive.
00:28:06Well, Mr. Draco, do you regard that as conclusive?
00:28:09I wouldn't say that, but it rather leaves us on the fence, so to speak.
00:28:13Actually, I'm duty-bound to include your name for further investigation.
00:28:17I'm sorry.
00:28:18I see.
00:28:19Inspector, how would it be if everyone said something different?
00:28:22Then perhaps they wouldn't sound so much alike, and we could secure a positive identification.
00:28:27Good man.
00:28:29You say something at random.
00:28:31You stick to the original sentence spoken by the suspect.
00:28:34And you, Mr. Draco, can say anything you like.
00:28:37Do you mind if I read a sentence from a letter I happen to have here?
00:28:40Splendid.
00:28:42An excellent suggestion, Evanson.
00:28:55You're early.
00:28:57It just struck 12 on St. Paul's.
00:29:00Seeking to untie one nut, we sometimes tangle the whole skein.
00:29:05On second thought, I've decided to reconsider your proposal.
00:29:08And will be glad to discuss the question of terms at your earliest convenience.
00:29:14Well, which one?
00:29:17I'm still not completely certain.
00:29:19You switched them around to me.
00:29:20That's about all I can say.
00:29:32Please follow me, Miss Adair.
00:29:39Miss Adair, have you ever seen this gentleman before?
00:29:49Well, Miss Adair?
00:29:52His type isn't unfamiliar.
00:29:54What sort of an answer is that?
00:29:56Look here, Miss Adair.
00:29:57Either you recognize him or you don't recognize him.
00:30:01Is this the man you saw coming out of that room?
00:30:06I wouldn't want to hurt an innocent person.
00:30:09Is this the man you saw coming out of Daisy Arrow's room the morning of the murder?
00:30:13Well, answer me, Miss Adair.
00:30:15Is he the man?
00:30:18I was that startled that...
00:30:20I don't remember.
00:30:23That will be all for now, Miss Adair.
00:30:26When we need you again, we'll send for you.
00:30:34That will be all.
00:30:42Well, Inspector?
00:30:44Any further need on me?
00:30:45Not at the moment, Mr. Drago.
00:30:47Not at the moment.
00:30:48Again, I regret you've been subjected to this inconvenience.
00:30:52After all, it's no small thing for a man of your prominence to be dragged into a mess of this
00:30:56sort.
00:30:57Especially on the eve of your wedding.
00:30:59I'm sure you realize we're only doing our duty.
00:31:02I do, Inspector.
00:31:04And if there's anything else, I'm only too happy to be of service to you.
00:31:11We'll keep in touch with you.
00:31:22The next morning, there was a note under my door, telling me if I came to the shafts brigandry at
00:31:28three, I would learn something to my advantage.
00:31:43Get a lot, Miss?
00:31:45No, thank you. I'm just looking.
00:32:10Life mark, isn't she?
00:32:12I suppose she was in the front row in that day.
00:32:15My word.
00:32:16Times don't change.
00:32:21I got you a message.
00:32:22I came as soon as I could.
00:32:27It must be nice to have your picture painted.
00:32:30Look at all the admiration people pay you.
00:32:33Do you mind if I do my paying without admiration?
00:32:40I think you will find this sufficient.
00:32:43Just a moment.
00:32:45The least I expected was a decent nod of gratitude.
00:32:49I thought it was money you were after.
00:32:52Very well, then. Thanks.
00:32:54It won't do.
00:32:55No, what will?
00:32:57Why not let's go somewhere and have a cup of tea, your highness?
00:33:01And have Inspector Cleaner see us together?
00:33:03How do you know they aren't on to you?
00:33:06Oh, I know they're not.
00:33:08Well, I am.
00:33:10I repeat, you'll be more than satisfied with what you have there.
00:33:14Thank you again, Mr. Dare.
00:33:30Thank you, sir.
00:33:31You're leaving now, Mr. Drago.
00:33:32Will you send my bill on to join me, please?
00:33:34Certainly, sir.
00:33:35Oh, but the way, sir, a letter just came for you by messenger.
00:34:08Thank you, sir.
00:34:14I find my plans have changed.
00:34:15I shan't be leaving tonight after all.
00:34:17Oh, very good, sir.
00:34:18Take Mr. Drago's bags back to his room.
00:34:21I'm glad you're staying on with us, sir.
00:34:24You can, Mr. Drago.
00:34:59Good evening.
00:35:00What's the meaning of your notes?
00:35:01A woman has a right to change her mind, hasn't she?
00:35:04Wasn't the money I gave you enough?
00:35:06Oh, it was plenty.
00:35:07I wouldn't have asked for near so much.
00:35:10I don't understand how a girl like you can turn down 500 pounds.
00:35:13A girl like me? How do you know what I'm like?
00:35:16Just what do you want, Miss Adair?
00:35:18You shouldn't call me Miss Adair any more.
00:35:20My real name's Rose Linton.
00:35:22Oh. You've dropped your alias.
00:35:25Oh, it wasn't an alias.
00:35:26Belladair was my stage name.
00:35:28But I'm giving up the stage.
00:35:30I see. And what do you intend to do?
00:35:32Well, that depends on you.
00:35:34On me?
00:35:35Yes. Now, look here.
00:35:52Come on.
00:35:54Why don't you call him?
00:35:57Conceiling evidence is a crime, you know.
00:35:59But I don't want...
00:35:59What is on your mind?
00:36:01Apparently you're convinced I'm guilty.
00:36:03Of course I am.
00:36:05Otherwise, why'd you try to buy me off?
00:36:07Because you could have made things even more difficult for me than they already are.
00:36:10You're still willing to bargain with me, aren't you?
00:36:12I made you an offer that was more than fair.
00:36:14You turned it down.
00:36:15Oh, it is money I want. It's something I want much more.
00:36:18Well?
00:36:21I found out from the porter at your hotel you're leaving London, going to Charnley Manor.
00:36:26Take me with you.
00:36:27What?
00:36:28Take me with you to Charnley Manor.
00:36:30Take you with me? Are you serious?
00:36:32I am.
00:36:33Of all the ridiculous...
00:36:35You don't understand.
00:36:36It's something I wanted all my life.
00:36:38When I was little, I lived with my dad in Shoreditch.
00:36:42You know what that's like?
00:36:45I don't think you do.
00:36:47My dad drove a cabin.
00:36:49He wasn't owe much.
00:36:51I was left alone a lot.
00:36:54I had to make up games for myself.
00:36:57And the game I loved most was pretending I was a lady at a great house.
00:37:03Ever since I was that I, I dreamed about staying at a great house in the country.
00:37:08With butlers and footmen and maids.
00:37:12Breakfast in bed every morning.
00:37:14And if I wanted something, just ring for it.
00:37:19It'll only be for two weeks.
00:37:21That's all I'm asking.
00:37:22Let me go to Charnley Manor.
00:37:24Just for two weeks.
00:37:26But that's preposterous.
00:37:28No, it isn't.
00:37:29If you don't think for one moment you could get away with it, well, you'd be miserable.
00:37:32Just give me the chance.
00:37:33I'm sorry, but the whole thing is just too ridiculous.
00:37:35You won't do it?
00:37:38No.
00:37:42In that case, I suppose I'll have to go and call on Georgie.
00:37:46Georgie?
00:37:47George Gilby.
00:37:48He's the bookie chap that was with me the night Daisy got into your cab.
00:37:51Remember?
00:37:52So he's in this with you.
00:37:54Not yet.
00:37:54And he needn't be.
00:37:56Think it over, Mr. Drago.
00:37:58Think it over carefully.
00:38:00You know where to get in touch with me.
00:38:04Ta-ta!
00:38:28Oh, my word, it's beautiful.
00:38:30You certainly had plenty of room to run round in when you were a little nipper.
00:38:35Look here.
00:38:36Do you have to look so unhappy?
00:38:38Aye.
00:38:39Happy as luck.
00:38:40If you're worried about I'm going to behave while I'm here, put it out of your mind.
00:38:44You'll have no cause to be ashamed of me.
00:38:46Not with all these gorgeous new clothes you bought me.
00:38:49And as for me table manners, if I don't know which fork to use, I'll just keep me eye on
00:38:53you.
00:39:01My word, it's a regular palace.
00:39:03You should stop exclaiming my word at everything you see.
00:39:06I can't help it.
00:39:08Everything's so grand and green.
00:39:11The air smells so nice.
00:39:14And my word, oh, the sun shines.
00:39:18People in town don't know what they're missing.
00:39:21Everywhere you look, it's so lovely.
00:39:23You'd expect to see a calendar pasted under it.
00:39:26How are you, Craxton?
00:39:27Mr. Michael?
00:39:28It's good to have you home again, sir.
00:39:30Craxton, this is Miss Linton.
00:39:31She's stopping with us a few days.
00:39:33Your room is ready for you, Miss.
00:39:36I hope I shan't be too much bother.
00:39:42Nice little place you've got here, Michael.
00:39:46This is Mother Home, Craxton.
00:39:48Her ladyship went for a drive with Miss Ashton, sir.
00:39:50We'll have tea in the library.
00:39:51Premier Brandon and so are, please.
00:39:53Yes, sir.
00:39:57How was I?
00:39:59Did you expect applause?
00:40:01I did it just like the Honorable Audrey would.
00:40:14Being a lady in a place like this ought to be no blooming trouble at all.
00:40:19No.
00:40:31Thank you, Miss.
00:40:37But to bring her here, it's absolutely inexcusable.
00:40:41Aren't you taking it too seriously?
00:40:43Lady Margaret, how would you feel in my place?
00:40:45Oh, I don't lose any cause for alarm.
00:40:47He wrote he'd got in some difficulty and she'd helped him out of it.
00:40:51Some difficulty?
00:40:52There was nothing in the letter to show that he had any real interest in the girl.
00:40:56But to bring her crashing in here just when we're about to get married.
00:40:58Oh, my dear, you know Michael.
00:41:01Or you should by now.
00:41:03Michael's just as he is.
00:41:04You have to take him or leave him.
00:41:05And I think you've made up your mind to take him.
00:41:08He inherited two things from his father.
00:41:11Good looks and the talent for making women unhappy.
00:41:15What can I do?
00:41:17I love you.
00:41:18Don't be old.
00:41:20Get along, Ginger.
00:41:25Hello, Michael.
00:41:26I didn't know you were here.
00:41:28Hello, Mother.
00:41:29You know, I've been driving out that new cob of yours, Michael.
00:41:32He's not as bad as he looks.
00:41:34I've never known anything to really satisfy you, Mother.
00:41:36Hmm.
00:41:39Mother, this is...
00:41:41I know who this is.
00:41:46How are you, Miss Linton?
00:41:48I've been looking forward to meeting you.
00:41:50I'm glad to be here, Lady Margaret.
00:41:52It's good to see you again, darling.
00:41:55Dearest.
00:41:56Oddly, this is my friend, Rosely.
00:41:59How do you do?
00:42:00I understand you did Michael a great favor.
00:42:03Oh, I didn't do anything really.
00:42:06According to Michael's letter, you did.
00:42:08And we're very glad to have you here.
00:42:10Now run out to your room and wash your face.
00:42:12My face?
00:42:14Is it dirty?
00:42:16That's not your own color, is it?
00:42:18It certainly is.
00:42:20It's too good to be true.
00:42:22Turn round.
00:42:23Good head.
00:42:24Good bones.
00:42:25Nice conformation.
00:42:27She has style, Michael.
00:42:28Real style.
00:42:30I'm not a horse.
00:42:31Now look here, young woman.
00:42:33If we have to put up with you, you have to put up with us.
00:42:35If I have anything to say about a person, I say it to their face.
00:42:38There's no beating about the bush in this house.
00:42:40And the sooner you learn that, the happier you'll be.
00:42:43Now come over here and pour me a cup of tea.
00:42:45Then we can have a nice chat.
00:42:48There's a bold way of looking at people that I like.
00:42:58Now let's have the truth about you and Rose.
00:43:01Is your feeling for her purely one of gratitude?
00:43:05Oh, come down, Mother.
00:43:06Rose is a beautiful creature, and I happen to know that's a formula
00:43:09that you simply can't resist, Audrey or no Audrey.
00:43:13Please, Lady Margaret.
00:43:15And you? What do you think of my son?
00:43:20Well, I hate to hurt a mother's feelings, but Michael's too wicked for me.
00:43:25He's too handsome.
00:43:27Too much the lady killer to suit my taste.
00:43:30I wouldn't dare turn my back on him, and that's the quick of it.
00:43:33That's quick enough, and fair enough.
00:43:37Look at Michael.
00:43:39Simply furious.
00:43:40Can't say much for your tea.
00:43:42Tastes like rainwater.
00:43:44Oh, I dare say these two young things must want to be left alone.
00:43:47Come along upstairs. I'll show you your room.
00:43:51It's on the next floor.
00:43:52That's a very nice view.
00:43:59This is such a wonderful house.
00:44:01I went to the public library and looked up pictures of it.
00:44:04Hmm.
00:44:05I'm really very fond of you.
00:44:07I don't wonder.
00:44:09You see, our family's lived here for generations.
00:44:12We were all born here.
00:44:15Michael was born here.
00:44:20This is your room, Rose.
00:44:22I hope you'll be comfortable.
00:44:24Oh, it's so nice.
00:44:25If there's anything you want, ring.
00:44:27Dinner's at eight.
00:44:28Thank you, Lady Margaret.
00:44:36I like you, Rose.
00:45:19If there's anything you want, just a ring.
00:46:15If there's anything you want, just a ring.
00:46:16If there's anything you want, just a ring.
00:46:55What are you doing here?
00:47:01How dare you come into this room?
00:47:04I'm sorry.
00:47:05The door was unlocked.
00:47:07Did I do something wrong?
00:47:10You're the first person who's been into this room, except myself, for a great many years.
00:47:20Is it the room of someone who's dead?
00:47:26It's Michael's room, when he was small.
00:47:43That's Michael's father.
00:47:46Looks just like him.
00:47:47He took Michael away from me.
00:47:50Took him to Canada.
00:47:52He was only a little boy then.
00:47:54Next time I saw him, he was a grown man.
00:47:57This room is just as it was when he left.
00:48:01I've kept it.
00:48:02His toys, everything.
00:48:04Just as it was.
00:48:05Don't touch anything.
00:48:06I'm sorry.
00:48:08That's why I never let anyone in here.
00:48:11Even the servants.
00:48:13I knew when that little boy went away that day.
00:48:18He'd never come back.
00:48:20You come here every day?
00:48:23Every day.
00:48:25You think that's foolish, don't you?
00:48:27No.
00:48:28It's beautiful.
00:48:30All the same, I'd rather you didn't mention it to anyone.
00:48:34Anyone.
00:48:35Even to Michael.
00:48:37He doesn't know.
00:48:38Nobody knows.
00:48:39But you now.
00:48:42I tell people I use this room as a storeroom.
00:48:47Servants think I have a great treasure hidden here.
00:48:49I come to count it every day like a miser.
00:48:53They're not far off the mark, as usual.
00:48:56Let's go.
00:48:58I've made you uncomfortable, haven't I?
00:49:00No, Lady Margaret, you haven't.
00:49:01It's...
00:49:02Nonsense.
00:49:02Whenever I get sentimental, I'm a bore.
00:49:07Come along.
00:49:11I'm not sorry you saw the room.
00:49:14There's nothing like a small secret to bring two people closer together.
00:49:20I'll see you at dinner.
00:49:34I'll see you.
00:50:00Oh, my God.
00:50:14Oh, my God.
00:50:35Who is it?
00:50:39Did I waken you?
00:50:41You've rotten the wits out of me.
00:50:44I didn't want to knock in case you were asleep.
00:50:48I... I heard a shot.
00:50:51A farmer's child is lost on the moor.
00:50:53They're searching for her.
00:50:55She might have wandered into Charnley Mire.
00:50:58Charnley Mire?
00:50:59That would be the end of her.
00:51:01They'd never even find her body.
00:51:03Poor little thing.
00:51:05There's something I'd like to say to you.
00:51:08I suppose it is rather rude of me to come in at this hour.
00:51:12But I've got to know.
00:51:14Does Michael know you came to talk to me?
00:51:18So you call him Michael.
00:51:20Well, I...
00:51:21Doesn't everybody?
00:51:25Michael and I are to be married very soon.
00:51:28Nothing is to stand in the way of that.
00:51:32Do I make myself clear?
00:51:34Oh, quite clear.
00:51:36You have my best wishes for a long and happy life.
00:51:40You have a queer way of saying it.
00:51:42Queer?
00:51:43I mean every word of it.
00:51:46How long were you in the chorus at the Cambridge?
00:51:49While I was there,
00:51:51it was like forever.
00:51:55I suppose you knew Daisy Arrow.
00:51:59We worked side by side.
00:52:01We were good friends.
00:52:03Must have been dreadful for you.
00:52:06It was worse for Daisy.
00:52:07She loved living.
00:52:09I read about it in the papers.
00:52:12Why should anyone have wanted to murder her?
00:52:14I asked myself the same question a thousand times.
00:52:21Is that what you wanted to talk to me about?
00:52:25No.
00:52:28Michael and I,
00:52:30we...
00:52:31I know.
00:52:32You're very much in love.
00:52:35Anybody can tell that.
00:52:37Yes.
00:52:41What I mean is,
00:52:45you and I can be friends.
00:52:46you and I can be friends.
00:52:47You and I can be friends.
00:52:49Or not.
00:52:51I...
00:52:51I want to be friends.
00:52:54You do?
00:52:56Truly?
00:52:58Of course.
00:53:01Good.
00:53:03That's what I had to know.
00:53:07I'm sorry if I disturbed you.
00:53:10I'll see you in the morning.
00:53:11information.
00:53:11Good night.
00:53:13Good night.
00:53:15Good night.
00:53:16Good night.
00:53:25Good night.
00:53:32Let's go.
00:53:58As I look back now, it seems those days were the happiest of my life.
00:54:03And when Audrey went up to London to get her trucelle,
00:54:06Lady Margaret couldn't have been more kind had I been her own daughter.
00:54:13But the greatest change of all was in Michael.
00:54:16The moment Audrey left for London, it was as if some strange veil had been lifted.
00:54:21And he was completely another man.
00:54:24He taught me to ride.
00:54:27And Lady Margaret insisted that I wear one of Audrey's riding habits.
00:54:31Whenever I made little mistakes,
00:54:33or my manners were not what they should have been,
00:54:36Michael corrected me, but always gently and patiently.
00:54:40And never once did he mention London
00:54:43or the circumstances which had brought us together.
00:54:55You're not disappointed?
00:54:57Disappointed?
00:54:58Those dreams you told me about the night on Waterloo Bridge.
00:55:01Is all this as wonderful as you thought it would be?
00:55:04More wonderful.
00:55:05Every minute's like something magic in a Christmas panto.
00:55:08Lady Margaret's been so kind.
00:55:11And you, you've been so decent.
00:55:14But I'm afraid I'll never understand you.
00:55:16You're not like you were in London.
00:55:18You're a different person altogether.
00:55:21I suppose there are things about this world of yours that I'd never understand,
00:55:24even if I stayed here for years.
00:55:26For example.
00:55:28Well, Audrey, she's in love with you.
00:55:31Anybody can see that.
00:55:32And almost anybody can see that you don't love her.
00:55:36Why are you marrying her?
00:55:38How can you marry someone you don't love?
00:55:41Sometimes marriages are arranged.
00:55:45Sometimes it's essential that they be.
00:55:50My mother's marriage was arranged.
00:55:52But your mother wasn't happy.
00:55:56I'm sorry.
00:55:57I didn't mean to say that.
00:56:00I'm always putting my foot in it.
00:56:04It doesn't matter.
00:56:10You're not afraid of me, are you?
00:56:17Should I be?
00:56:19After all, our relationship is somewhat unusual.
00:56:24I'm in trouble.
00:56:25You know that.
00:56:31We'd best be going.
00:56:33We shan't be in time to meet Audrey.
00:56:36She'll be on the four o'clock train.
00:56:57I don't see it in the window.
00:56:59They say it's all the rage in London.
00:57:00We'd better be getting back.
00:57:02Lady Margaret said not to be light.
00:57:04Oh, I won't, you're millions.
00:57:07Good afternoon.
00:57:08Miss Ashton.
00:57:09Have you that new novel of Mrs Humphrey Ward's?
00:57:11Two copies came in yesterday, but they were sold immediately.
00:57:13It must be a saucy book.
00:57:15I'm expecting some more in a few days.
00:57:16Will you keep one for me?
00:57:18I will indeed, Miss Ashton.
00:57:26I'll have this.
00:57:28Certainly.
00:57:28Strange, I had the occasion to mention your name today, Miss Ashton.
00:57:31Did you?
00:57:32You recall those three Bibles you bought?
00:57:35Yes.
00:57:36I just mentioned the fact to a couple of gentlemen from London
00:57:39who were making a survey on the sale of religious books.
00:57:41You told them I'd bought three Bibles?
00:57:43I did, yes.
00:57:44I told them it was a healthy sign in a world of sin
00:57:47when one person buys three Bibles at one time.
00:57:50Will you send that for me?
00:57:52I will, Miss Ashton.
00:57:53Come, Rose.
00:57:56You won't forget about the other book.
00:57:57I'll put this aside for you, Miss Ashton.
00:58:01Good day.
00:58:06I beg your pardon, sir.
00:58:13There's an Inspector Klinner from Scotland Yard to see you, sir.
00:58:17Klinner?
00:58:18Yes, sir.
00:58:19And there's another man with him.
00:58:22Show them in, Craxton.
00:58:25Yes, milady.
00:58:31Will you step this way, gentlemen?
00:58:35I think it'll be amusing to have tea with a couple of detectives.
00:58:40Good afternoon, Mr. Drago.
00:58:42Inspector.
00:58:44Sergeant.
00:58:44Mr. Drago.
00:58:48Mother, this is Inspector Klinner and Sergeant Evans.
00:58:51You're just in time for tea, gentlemen.
00:58:53Or would you like something stronger?
00:58:55Neither, ma'am, thank you.
00:58:56I'm sorry to bother you like this, Mr. Drago,
00:58:58but it couldn't be avoided.
00:59:00We came to see you about your fiancΓ©e, Miss Ashton.
00:59:03Miss Ashton?
00:59:04What else could you want with her?
00:59:06Well, it's nothing of any consequence, I'm sure.
00:59:08We were just checking up on some loose ends in the Daisy Arrow case,
00:59:12and I thought you'd prefer us to discuss it with you
00:59:14instead of bothering the young lady.
00:59:17I don't know whether you recall, Mr. Drago,
00:59:19but a Bible was rather an important item in the Daisy Arrow case.
00:59:24Yes, but what has that to do with Miss Ashton?
00:59:26Well, I'll be brief as possible.
00:59:29This Bible, it seems, was published in rather a large edition,
00:59:33but in looking over the sales list,
00:59:35I found that your local bookseller here in the village
00:59:38had purchased a dozen copies.
00:59:40In so much as you had been questioned in the case,
00:59:42we were naturally curious as to the disposition of those particular Bibles.
00:59:46I still don't see the connection with Miss Ashton.
00:59:49Miss Ashton bought three copies.
00:59:52Oh, I remember now.
00:59:54It was about the time Audrey came to stay with us.
00:59:57You see, she distributes a great many flowers at the hospitals,
01:00:00and occasionally some poor invalid asks for a Bible.
01:00:03Oh, yes, of course.
01:00:04Yes, that's precisely what I imagined.
01:00:07Speaking of flowers, I wonder if your ladyship...
01:00:09Do you know if Miss Ashton gave away all three copies of those Bibles?
01:00:12I can't be sure.
01:00:13I'm sorry we're so late.
01:00:20Darling, this is Mr. Clinton, Mr. Evans,
01:00:23some friends of mine from London who were just passing by.
01:00:26My fiancΓ©e, Miss Ashton.
01:00:28How do you do?
01:00:29Miss Ashton, what do you do?
01:00:32And this is Miss Linton, my companion.
01:00:37You'd better run along now.
01:00:39The dressmaker's been waiting for you for hours.
01:00:41Oh, dear, I forgot about the poor thing.
01:00:45Come, Rose.
01:00:49Well, it's late, and we must be getting on.
01:00:53Oh, by the way, there's something I wanted to ask your ladyship.
01:00:56Yes.
01:00:57That's curious.
01:00:57I seem to have completely forgotten it.
01:00:59Well, it couldn't have been very important.
01:01:01Hmm.
01:01:02Oh, yes, I know what it was.
01:01:06Flowers are a hobby with me.
01:01:08Your son mentioned that you had an arbor of moss roses here at Charnley Manor.
01:01:13May I see them?
01:01:14Even as an amateur horticulturist,
01:01:17you should know that moss roses are out of season.
01:01:20I know that, milady.
01:01:22You think I'm a magician?
01:01:24I'm not.
01:01:26But my gardener is.
01:01:28I'll be glad to show them to you.
01:01:29That's most kind of you.
01:01:31Come along.
01:01:34Goodbye, Mr. Drago.
01:01:35I'm sorry to be such a constant nuisance.
01:01:38That's all right, Inspector.
01:01:40Come along, gentlemen.
01:01:41We'll be leaving for London on the afternoon train tomorrow.
01:01:44Meanwhile, we're at the inn in the village.
01:02:04I dare say your ladyship knows the story of the origin of the moss rose.
01:02:08Do I?
01:02:09I'm not sure.
01:02:10Once upon a time, there was a princess who had great virtue and a kind heart.
01:02:15But the king, her father, was very miserly,
01:02:17so that all of her charities had to be done in secret.
01:02:21Well, as she was leaving the castle one day,
01:02:24carrying bread for the poor,
01:02:26the king accosted her and demanded to know
01:02:29what she had hidden in her apron.
01:02:31Roses, she replied.
01:02:32And when he snatched open her apron to see,
01:02:35the bread had indeed turned all to rose upon rose.
01:02:39Just like these, moss roses.
01:02:42How lovely.
01:02:43You deserve a flower for that story.
01:02:45You must cut yourself one while I watch out for the gardener.
01:02:48He's furious if anyone touches this.
01:02:55Aren't you ashamed?
01:02:57What would you do if that rose under your coat
01:02:59should turn into a loaf of bread?
01:03:13Who is it?
01:03:17They told me you ordered a carriage from the stables.
01:03:20Why are you leaving?
01:03:22I want to know why.
01:03:26Because...
01:03:27Because I'm afraid.
01:03:29Afraid of what?
01:03:31I can't stay here another minute.
01:03:34There's a train for London at 5.30.
01:03:36But what's the reason for all this?
01:03:39Please, I can't tell you.
01:03:41You must tell me.
01:04:02You see, you recognize me from the start.
01:04:08When did you get this?
01:04:11About 20 minutes ago.
01:04:13And you were not going to meet him?
01:04:17I couldn't.
01:04:19Why not?
01:04:22He'd have asked me questions that...
01:04:25Questions that you couldn't answer because of me?
01:04:28Is that why you were running away?
01:04:30Look at me.
01:04:33This is the answer.
01:04:36You and I are the same kind, you know that.
01:04:38Yes.
01:04:40And whatever I've done...
01:04:41I don't care what you've done.
01:04:43Nothing matters now.
01:04:46You can't run away any more than I can.
01:04:57I've got to tell her.
01:04:59Tell her who?
01:05:00Audrey.
01:05:01Audrey?
01:05:02That must be taken care of first.
01:05:04But you can't tell her.
01:05:05There's nothing else I can do.
01:05:06She loves you, Michael.
01:05:08She wouldn't give you up for Daisy.
01:05:09She'll never give you up for anyone.
01:05:11She'll have to.
01:05:20No, no, no, nobody does.
01:05:41Thanks, Jane.
01:05:43Oh... Audrey.
01:05:54I've been looking for you.
01:05:56You must be extremely pleased with yourself.
01:05:59Yes, I can tell that you are.
01:06:02You smug little hypocrite.
01:06:04What?
01:06:04I'm sure you think you've been frightfully clever.
01:06:06Well, it might interest you to know that I knew what you were doing all along.
01:06:10I don't know what you're talking about.
01:06:12Oh, don't be naive.
01:06:13From the moment you blackmailed me,
01:06:14when I came into bringing you here, it's obvious what you were after.
01:06:17Michael has just told me.
01:06:20Told you what?
01:06:21Our marriage is postponed.
01:06:23That's the polite phrase the newspapers will use.
01:06:27But I'm sure my friends won't be so generous.
01:06:31I'm sorry, Audrey.
01:06:33Really, I am.
01:06:35Sorry?
01:06:36What a liar you are.
01:06:39This is exactly the way you planned it.
01:06:41All the time you were taking advantage of Lady Margaret's hospitality.
01:06:43And when I went to London to get my trousseau, you...
01:06:45I've done nothing to be ashamed of.
01:06:47No!
01:06:48Perhaps people have no sense of shame in Shoreditch.
01:06:52That's where you came from, isn't it?
01:06:54You deliberately set out to break up our marriage.
01:06:58Did you fancy he'd marry you?
01:07:00What a high price to set on your affections.
01:07:03When I'm sure they could have been purchased in London for two shillings.
01:07:09I haven't finished.
01:07:10I've heard all I care to.
01:07:12There's just one flaw in your ambitious little design.
01:07:14One thing you overlooked.
01:07:16Me.
01:07:36My, my, my, my livingimaan lady!
01:07:40Wait after me!
01:07:41Wait after me!
01:07:47Let's do that!
01:07:48OK, we're nothing to resonate!
01:07:49Good bye, Me!
01:07:49Go, Go!
01:07:50Go, go, go, go, I'm sorry!
01:07:53Pay me and run!
01:07:53Come, my man!
01:07:57You have to do that!
01:08:04Come on.
01:08:31Audrey?
01:08:37Audrey?
01:09:01The coroner's inquest was an ordeal for all of us.
01:09:05The village doctor testified that Audrey had died from an overdose of sleeping powders.
01:09:10Apparently self-administered.
01:09:12Traces of it were found in the teacup at her bedside.
01:09:17I told the truth and gave the best answers I could.
01:09:26Inspector Klinner did not appear at the inquest.
01:09:29And evidently the local police placed no significance on the presence of the Bible and the moss rose.
01:09:50When the inquest was over, the police held Michael for further questioning.
01:09:57And that night Inspector Klinner sent for me.
01:10:17See if this telegram gets off as soon as possible.
01:10:19Yes, my lady.
01:10:28Rose, you're back.
01:10:31I just wired my solicitor in London to engage Sir John Harker.
01:10:35He's the cleverest counsel in England.
01:10:37Sit down, my dear.
01:10:39Tell me what happened.
01:10:40Let me have your hat.
01:10:47Did you see Michael?
01:10:51No.
01:10:54No.
01:10:56Inspector Klinner refused to let me see him.
01:10:58How impertinent of him.
01:11:00How dare he.
01:11:03They're taking him up to London tonight.
01:11:05They can't hold him.
01:11:07Not how Sir John Harker gets on the case.
01:11:09We mustn't be depressed.
01:11:12He'll be back within 48 hours.
01:11:16I don't think so.
01:11:19What?
01:11:21Lady Margaret.
01:11:24I've got to tell you.
01:11:27Michael has confessed.
01:11:32Confessed?
01:11:34Must be a mistake.
01:11:35No.
01:11:37Inspector Klinner told me.
01:11:41It's absurd.
01:11:42I think...
01:11:44Well, it's just a trick.
01:11:46It's just a police trick.
01:11:49Did you tell them anything?
01:11:51No.
01:11:53Good.
01:11:57Oh, Lady Margaret.
01:11:59What will they do to him?
01:12:02What will they do to him?
01:12:03If anything should ever happen to him, I...
01:12:05I...
01:12:08You love him.
01:12:12I do.
01:12:16I should have known.
01:12:19Of course, I should have known all the time.
01:12:24I understand.
01:12:27I don't blame you for loving him.
01:12:30You can't help it.
01:12:36Here.
01:12:42Oh.
01:12:43Oh, Lady Margaret.
01:12:45What are we going to do?
01:12:46I think you've taken all that you can stand today.
01:12:50Come along upstairs.
01:12:51And rest.
01:12:53Oh, but...
01:12:54But I couldn't sleep.
01:12:56You can try.
01:12:57Come along.
01:13:06Come along.
01:13:08You'd better get ready for bed.
01:13:11I'll make you some tea.
01:13:14You haven't had a thing to eat all day.
01:13:17Neither have you.
01:13:19I'm just beginning to notice it.
01:13:21Shall we ring for Craxton to bring you some sandwiches?
01:13:24Tea will do for me, thank you.
01:13:25Tis rather late to wake him up.
01:13:27I'll make do with the biscuit.
01:13:32Oh.
01:13:33What is it?
01:13:34I saw something moving on the...
01:13:36On the balcony.
01:13:37We'll soon find out.
01:13:39Hadn't we better call the servants?
01:13:41Nonsense.
01:13:49Nobody there.
01:13:51You must have seen a shadow from the trees.
01:13:54I'm sorry.
01:13:56I'm awfully jumpy.
01:13:57No wonder with all you've been through.
01:14:29Why are you so quiet?
01:14:32I won't.
01:14:33You haven't spoken a word for five minutes.
01:14:38All of a sudden, I feel so sleepy.
01:14:41I can hardly keep my eyes open.
01:14:44Stop trying, then.
01:14:48Come.
01:14:50Into bed with you, child.
01:14:56Good night.
01:14:58Good night.
01:15:00Good night.
01:15:01Good night.
01:15:27Good night.
01:15:37Good night.
01:15:44Deadly lover...
01:15:54The End
01:16:17Oh
01:16:24Could
01:16:25Could you open the window a bit
01:16:29Why
01:16:34I can hardly get my breath
01:16:43Do you ever pray
01:16:50Yes
01:16:50Every night
01:16:54It's more than Daisy Arrow or Audrey could say
01:17:00My
01:17:01My mother always made me
01:17:03For I was
01:17:05Too sleepy tonight
01:17:16Did you say Daisy Arrow?
01:17:20What was the prayer she taught you?
01:17:23Who?
01:17:24Your mother
01:17:30And now
01:17:31I lay me down
01:17:34To sleep
01:17:39You
01:17:39You did say Daisy Arrow, didn't you?
01:17:43Yes
01:17:45Not as good as any other
01:17:47Go on
01:17:50If I should die
01:17:52Before I wake
01:17:57If I should die before I wake
01:18:09You said Audrey
01:18:11Too
01:18:12I pray the Lord
01:18:15My soul
01:18:16To take
01:18:18Amen
01:18:20Amen
01:18:22Amen
01:18:23Amen
01:18:30Amen
01:18:34Amen
01:18:35Amen
01:18:36Amen
01:18:36Amen
01:18:36Amen
01:18:37Amen
01:18:38Amen
01:18:38Amen
01:18:38Amen
01:18:39Amen
01:18:43Come on.
01:19:09You. It was you, wasn't it?
01:19:15Yes, child.
01:19:18And tomorrow, they'll find you, just as you found the others.
01:19:25And I'll have my son back again, all to myself.
01:19:33Mother! Mother!
01:19:36Mother!
01:19:43Get the door.
01:19:50See to the girl. She can't be far.
01:20:00His boat!
01:20:02You fool.
01:20:06Clumsy fool.
01:20:09See what you've done.
01:20:12Meddling fool.
01:20:13But his boat, his boat, I tell you,
01:20:17and you've ruined it.
01:20:19You've ruined it.
01:20:34And now I'm thousands of miles from Charnley Manor and London.
01:20:41The places and things I've known all my life.
01:20:45Lady Margaret is dead.
01:20:49But all of that is in the past.
01:20:52And there I must keep it.
01:20:57Come in.
01:21:00We'll be getting into Toronto in 15 minutes.
01:21:03If you'd like me to take care of your luggage
01:21:05or arrange for a carriage at the station for you,
01:21:08I'd be very glad to.
01:21:09No, thank you.
01:21:12There'll be someone meeting me.
01:21:16Very good.
01:21:46You
