01:47No, that's not the edge of it, no!
01:50No, that's not the edge of it, no!
01:53No, he wouldn't park his car, you see!
01:56He wouldn't park his car, opens the garage doors, and there he was, five other way of coal!
02:02Now, you don't put coal in the garage, no!
02:06You don't?
02:07Well, anyway, he wanted to know where this coal come from!
02:11So he said to the wife, the wife, and the wife...
02:14So I thought you ought to know, Senator.
02:16No one else does yet, I hope.
02:18No.
02:19So that's why he didn't appear.
02:22How's his wife?
02:23Well, she's been looked after, and there's a doctor on his way.
02:27Are you going to announce it?
02:29Let's have it away for a while.
02:31Fine.
02:32Leave it to me.
02:52I thought I told you to stay away.
02:54I promise not to gatecrash the dinner.
02:55And I decide who comes into this hotel, and who doesn't.
02:58Look, I am an accredited journalist at the conference.
03:00Whatever arrangements you've made with the conference organizers or with individuals
03:04don't apply here, Miss Rush.
03:05So please.
03:07I can find my own way out.
03:28Take her up.
03:30Who is it?
03:31Sir Edward Lister.
03:32Charity Bigwell, eh?
03:34His wife found him.
04:02I'm Peter Castle, Sir Edward's personal assistant.
04:05Oh, good evening.
04:07Is his wife still next door?
04:09Yes, they're preparing another room for her.
04:11Oh.
04:14Did he suffer any pain?
04:16No, no, no.
04:17All the signs of certain cardiac arrest, out like a light.
04:23When she found him, was he where he is now, on the bed?
04:27Nothing was touched, as far as I know.
04:30Oh.
04:31I came straight here from my room when she phoned.
04:36Something bothering you, Doctor?
04:37No, no, no.
04:39I'll have a work with her now.
04:52I'll see you in the foy.
04:53Let's get away.
05:00Now, take a few sips of that.
05:02Make you feel better.
05:16He hadn't had any other attacks.
05:19There hadn't even been any warnings.
05:23It's a cruel thing, isn't it?
05:26When you just get the one and you're gone.
05:29Very sorry.
05:34The other room is ready for you now.
05:41Well, I must complete my examination.
05:43I'll look in on you later.
06:26Dr. Lejeune, get me the police, would you?
06:29Bureau des Etrouges.
06:51I am super nervous.
06:53What a lovely day.
06:54For our fabulous prize tonight,
06:58it is the Lucky Lover 52.
07:01Goodbye!
07:02Go back!
07:03Go back!
07:03Go back!
07:04Go back!
07:04Go back!
07:41Hello, Debbie. Hello, Charlie. Do you want a bit for charity?
07:45A duty and a pleasure.
07:47Shouldn't you be eating brown rice?
07:49Please go away.
07:50Or buy a ticket for the raffle I put up after the prize.
07:54No, thanks, Charlie. I'd hate to win something else of yours.
08:02You're not still at it, are you, Dennis?
08:05Yeah.
08:05You're like a chimney out there.
08:06Yeah, I still had it, Jim.
08:10Director of the Overseas Famine Foundation.
08:13Oh, it was.
08:14Hey, they don't stint themselves, do they?
08:16My God.
08:18Luxury suites.
08:20It's no wonder some charities cost as much to run as they dole out.
08:24Well, luxury is much good to him now, is it?
08:26So why do you call in the Bureau?
08:28Eminent visitor.
08:30Something odd?
08:32Well, you said it was just a heart attack, didn't you?
08:34Yeah, natural cause. There's no doubt about that.
08:37But, er, it's uncommon for a dead man to walk.
08:42You what?
08:43I don't think he died on the bed.
08:44His wife does.
08:46I think he was put there.
08:48Why?
08:49It's too neat.
08:50Too arranged.
08:52He's lying pretty much as he was when I arrived, except for the front of his shirt.
08:56He'd have thrashed around a bit, Jim, you know.
08:59I suppose he collapsed out there, or in the bathroom, and then he dragged himself back here.
09:04And then climbed onto the bed, straightened out his clothes, brushed his hair, and decided to call it a day.
09:10That's the trouble with you police doctors. You're too damn clever by heart, aren't you?
09:13Anyway, there'll be a report in the morning.
09:16Meanwhile, fresh scratches on his shoes, and being dragged along, perhaps.
09:21Well, not across this carpet, I imagine.
09:24Blue paint smudge, trouser leg there.
09:28You talk to his wife?
09:29Briefly.
09:30You tell her your theory?
09:32No, she's still shocked.
09:34Who called you?
09:35Would you believe it? The vicar.
09:37Who?
09:38Young cleric on his charity staff about an hour ago.
09:41But it was the wife who found the body, wasn't it?
09:42Well, apparently, when she came upstairs from the dinner.
09:45So she attended the dinner, but he didn't?
09:47Well, he's not changed for dinner, has he?
09:49Anyway, I've made the necessary arrangements.
09:51See you, what, first thing in the morning?
09:53Yeah, yeah, right.
09:59Edward left the hotel at six.
10:01He said there was a delegate he wanted to talk to privately.
10:04Have you any idea who that might have been?
10:06We've no idea at all.
10:07We'd finished the day's business at the conference,
10:09and I assumed his only other engagement to be the function here at the hotel.
10:14He was looking forward to it.
10:15It was a local charity event.
10:18But he didn't get back here in time.
10:21Look, is this really necessary?
10:24Sadly, whatever time he returned, he's dead.
10:27Lady Lister's hardly in a fit state to be able...
10:29It's all right, Peter.
10:31But I don't quite understand your reason for asking.
10:34Hotel deaths have to be notified.
10:38Didn't you think of popping upstairs earlier to see if anything was wrong?
10:42I phoned the suite twice.
10:45I left the dinner before the speeches.
10:48That'll be about ten o'clock, wouldn't it?
10:50Why wasn't a doctor called till one hour later?
10:52Can't it wait?
10:55When I came up, I didn't go straight into the bedroom.
11:00The door was open and the lights were off.
11:02I never guessed.
11:06I sat on the couch
11:08and I watched the television.
11:11A programme about Tahiti.
11:15If only I'd gone in there sooner, I might have saved his life.
11:19No.
11:20There was nothing you could have done.
12:01You're not down to nicking hubcaps, I hope.
12:04Pity your old heap hasn't got any.
12:06Yeah.
12:07Where's Debbie?
12:08She's staying on for the dancing.
12:09I'm getting too old.
12:11The doof's still going on, is it?
12:12Yeah, of course.
12:13Look, just why are you prowling around that car?
12:15Who does it belong to?
12:16A man of impeccable taste and flawless character.
12:19Nobody you'd know, Charlie.
12:22Everybody's got flaws, Jim.
12:24I mean, look at you.
12:25You're a policeman.
12:29I can't think how they managed before autopsies were invented.
12:33Do you know what the word means, Jim?
12:36It means seeing for yourself.
12:39Well, I think we can be a little more precise this morning.
12:42Body was definitely moved, then, was it?
12:44That and a good bit else.
12:47What the bloody hell's going on?
12:50Why wasn't I told?
12:51Keep your voice down, Barney.
12:53Show some respect.
12:54Where's the report?
12:54It should have been on my desk first thing.
12:56Look, it's only ten minutes after first thing.
12:58Look, when I ask for something to be done, I expect results.
13:01It's my neck that gets it in the end, right?
13:04So what's all this about?
13:06Sir Edward didn't die in, or even on, his own bed.
13:09But he could have in somebody else's, though.
13:12So he was dressed after death.
13:15How do you make that out?
13:16Lower shirt button in the wrong buttonhole.
13:19The way his tie knot was tied, he was probably dressed in a hurry.
13:23Oh, and sand inside both his shoes.
13:25Meaning he walked on a beach?
13:26Meaning he didn't put his own shoes back on again.
13:28Usually shake the sand out, don't you?
13:30Actually, I usually take my shoes and socks off myself.
13:33It was a habit of a lifetime, you know.
13:36Anything else?
13:38It's possible he was in a scuffle.
13:41Slight bruise on the knuckle, consistent with a punch.
13:44Some bruising on the chest.
13:46Well, that could have resulted from attempts to revive him.
13:49Sniff it.
13:52Mm-hmm.
13:53Affront.
13:57What does Lady Lister say?
13:58She doesn't know the body's been moved yet.
14:00She was too upset to be told last night.
14:02She'd be more than upset to find out he died in somebody else's arms.
14:05If he was having a bit on the side.
14:07It's obvious he was with another woman.
14:09They had a row, triggered off his heart attack.
14:11She panicked, dressed him, somehow lugged him back to the hotel.
14:15Big girl.
14:17Well, she got help.
14:19You sure you couldn't be mistaken?
14:20Couldn't this attack have been induced by something else?
14:22Fear?
14:23Sexual exertion?
14:24No, there's no evidence of sexual activity.
14:26You can't have got that far.
14:29There'll be a fast pillar of respectability and all that.
14:32Well, so am I.
14:33You know, my wife tells me that I fancy schoolgirls.
14:36She's wrong.
14:37I fancy big girls.
14:39Oh, well, cherchez la femme, mes amis, and your mystery will be solved.
14:43Thanks, Dennis.
14:44All right.
14:45Where are you off to?
14:46I want to talk to the assistant again before I tackle the wife.
14:49Remember what I said.
14:50Keep me in the picture.
14:56Must be a good man to have on your team.
14:58Only temporarily.
14:59Hmm?
15:00His leg won't stand up to it.
15:01Well, that's a matter for the chief and the committee.
15:04Mind you, we've got another medical coming up, so we'll have to wait and see, won't we?
15:37They keep chopping and changing.
15:39What are you doing here?
15:41I'm looking for the British famine delegate, Peter Castle.
15:44Where's the priest?
15:45Yeah.
15:45I was told I'd find him in the main hall.
15:47I saw him earlier.
15:49They're all very shaken this morning because they both died.
15:52You heard?
15:52Yeah, I heard.
15:55The first session has been delayed till after lunch.
15:58Out of respect.
16:01Sir Edward was such a nice man.
16:04Charmant.
16:05Find older men attractive, do you?
16:07Well, you know, we French girls often do.
16:10Hmm.
16:11I remember that.
16:12He behaved like a perfect English gentleman.
16:14Ah.
16:15Fancy you, did he?
16:16Why do you ask?
16:17I'll tell you after lunch.
16:22One, two, testing, testing.
16:24One, two, three, testing.
16:27Lady Lister's staying with the senator for a few days if you're looking for her.
16:30I assume I want to see.
16:32One, two, three, testing.
16:34Testing.
16:35One, two, three.
16:36One, two, three, testing.
16:39About the arrangements.
16:41Sorry?
16:42For flying Sir Edward's body home.
16:44Oh, that's not strictly my province.
16:46But I think you'll have to wait a few days yet.
16:48Why?
16:49Clearance takes a little longer in Jersey.
16:51You make it sound like customs.
16:54Miss Castle, I need your help.
16:57As his deputy...
16:58Assistant.
16:59Sorry.
17:00Assistant.
17:02Look, this is a little delicate, but I have to ask.
17:06Next to his wife, you must have been closest to him.
17:12Was he playing around?
17:14Having an affair?
17:17Channel Islanders are very direct.
17:19Was he?
17:21He was a socialiser.
17:23It was part of his job.
17:25Did he socialise, then, with any particular woman when you were over here?
17:29Look, I can quite understand newspapers trying to dig up the dirt.
17:32There were even journalists attending this conference who'd like to stir things up for the charities.
17:36But why you?
17:38We think there was a woman with Sir Edward when he died.
17:43I find this offensive.
17:46Did he spend any time with any particular woman?
17:49I was his assistant, not his keeper.
17:53So you wouldn't know?
17:54I wouldn't regard it as my concern.
17:57And you could have no reason for covering things up?
17:59Why on earth should I want it?
18:01Keep enough appearances?
18:03For the sake of the charity?
18:05Or the wife?
18:06Keep her away from the truth?
18:08He had a heart attack and he died.
18:11Isn't that enough?
18:16Edward loved it here.
18:19He liked it rather more than me, I am afraid.
18:23I prefer Yorkshire.
18:25Where I come from.
18:29Ah, lovely.
18:35Do you take milk?
18:36Yes, please.
18:38Thanks.
18:41You've had a busy life.
18:44Yes.
18:45Yes, we did.
18:51Something tells me you know exactly how it was.
18:56Boring for us while doing good to others.
19:00Well, isn't that what a policeman's lot is all about?
19:04A few months ago, I would have agreed with that.
19:07Things have changed a bit now, though.
19:12Why, um, why did you want to see me again?
19:17We don't think your husband died where he was found.
19:22You can talk.
19:33Mom!
19:34What?
19:40Bloody hell.
19:58Hello?
19:59Give me the manager.
20:00Yes, quickly.
20:01Tell him it's urgent.
20:03I don't understand what you're saying.
20:06Someone brought my husband's body back to the hotel.
20:09I don't...
20:10I don't believe it.
20:12That's what it looks like.
20:13But why?
20:15Perhaps the circumstances.
20:17What circumstances?
20:19Panic?
20:20Embarrassment?
20:21I'm sorry you're not making sense.
20:24It's a fair assumption he was undressed when he died.
20:27Someone else put his clothes on him after that.
20:32I'm sorry.
20:33But I had to tell you sooner or later.
20:36Bergerac, would you take a phone call?
20:39Apparently it's very urgent.
20:40Excuse me.
20:50I'm not asking you why you find it necessary to submit Lady Diana to this Bergerac.
20:55But I trust you'd be in a position to justify yourself, should the need arise.
21:01Phone's in there.
21:28We had quite a job finding you.
21:30As you can see, it's a hell of a mess.
21:32It was all right an hour ago.
21:33You were here, were you?
21:34Mr. Castle was in here working.
21:36I brought him some coffee.
21:38Must have come and gone by the fire escape.
21:44What were they after?
21:46I've no idea.
21:47Oh, come on.
21:48What's it all about?
21:53I've told you.
21:54I don't know.
21:56Sir Edward was planning to produce a minor earthquake at the conference.
21:59tomorrow with a highly controversial document.
22:03It concerns the misuse of charity money by a Central American government.
22:07They could have been after that, I suppose.
22:09Many people know about that?
22:10Quite a few.
22:12He was lining up support for a crucial vote to stop money going there.
22:17Where is the document?
22:18It's in my briefcase.
22:22Everything must stay exactly as it is, all right?
22:24Right.
22:25All right.
24:07Ah!
24:09Ah!
24:11Ah!
24:11Ah!
24:11Ah!
24:12Ah!
24:13Sergeant Budrak.
24:50Jim?
24:54Look at you.
24:55You haven't started drinking again.
24:58Not bloody likely.
25:00What have you been up to? Why are you just sitting there?
25:06Need a pair of trousers.
25:15All right, all right.
25:19They'm a bit sure, but they'll do.
25:21You mean they actually let you play golf at least?
25:22They're all comedians in that golf club.
25:24Oh, so you don't overdress then?
25:26Would you like something to eat?
25:27No, thanks, sir.
25:28But I'll have the phone when it's free.
25:30Okay.
25:32I'm sure I need hardly remind you,
25:34Sir Edward was highly respected and chairman of a leading charity.
25:38If his name is smeared in any way, I...
25:40I can't fault my officer for pursuing his inquiries, Mr Castle.
25:43Though he might have been more tactful, I agree.
25:46What we're trying to say is,
25:48if you're satisfied as to the cause of his death,
25:51why can't that be an end to it?
25:53Needs a decision higher up, I'm afraid.
25:55I have already spoken to the senator.
25:58Sorry, I understand.
26:00But we do have our procedures.
26:04You saw Bergerac this morning, I understand.
26:07Yes.
26:08Has he recovered?
26:10Recovered?
26:10I offered to take him to hospital.
26:12He slipped on a fire escape and injured his leg.
26:22Bureau des étrangères?
26:24Oh, it's you, Jim.
26:26What?
26:27No, no, he's got visitors.
26:30Guess who?
26:31Fine he didn't agree, did he?
26:34All right.
26:35Look, get an alert out for me, would you, quick.
26:37It's a beige Cortina.
26:41Registration J63767.
26:42All right?
26:43Thanks, Charlie.
26:44Bye.
26:45What are you wearing those trousers for?
26:48You go on like that and our lunch is off.
26:51Are you all right?
26:51Yeah, yeah.
27:29Come on, let's try the airport.
27:37Come on, let's try the airport.
27:52Almost finished now.
27:55Haven't felt a thing.
27:57Good.
28:28Hello?
28:30Yes?
28:31Yes, he's still here.
28:33No, no, it'd be rather difficult for him to come to the phone right now.
28:37Yeah.
28:38Yes, I'll tell him.
28:39Okay.
28:40Bye-bye.
28:42That was your bureau.
28:44Dr Lejeune wants to see you urgently.
28:46How long do they have to stay in?
28:49Oh, five minutes or to do.
28:51Oh, great.
28:53I hear you acupuncturists are tackling smoking and drinking.
28:57Yeah.
28:58Why, have you got a problem?
29:00No, I don't smoke.
29:01Don't drink either now.
29:03Sometimes always touch and go.
29:04Like today.
29:06Why don't you join Alcoholics Anonymous?
29:08I did.
29:09I already have.
29:11I'm even helping others now.
29:13Well, there's a chance you'll be all right then.
29:17Yes, I must have overlooked it.
29:19He wasn't wearing his watch.
29:21And he usually did.
29:22There you see, the faint almost permanent indentation.
29:26The hair's worn off the wrist.
29:27A metal strap, I should say.
29:29I didn't notice it was missing.
29:32Does it matter?
29:33It could do.
29:34I thought your bureau were going to leave us alone now.
29:37Nobody's told me that.
29:38What sort of watch did your husband wear?
29:42He was a member of parliament in the early 70s.
29:45When he retired, his constituency presented it to him.
29:49It was gold.
29:51Was it inscribed?
29:52Yes.
29:53Good.
29:53That should help us.
29:55Are you quite sure it isn't in the hotel bedroom?
29:58Well, I'm certain we've checked that.
30:00Then I'm afraid I can't help you.
30:28Then I'm afraid I can't help you.
30:30You all right?
30:32Never better.
30:33Oh, you mean the trousers?
30:35I mean the leg.
30:37Minor collision.
30:38No problem.
30:39I thought we agreed to keep in touch.
30:41Well, that's what I'm doing.
30:43Bad timing.
30:43I'm going to Guernsey.
30:45I'll see you when I get back.
30:46Yes, you.
30:48And get rid of that car of yours.
30:50It's against regulations.
30:56Right.
30:57Thanks.
30:58I'll pass it on.
31:05Wow.
31:07One more crack out of you.
31:08I wasn't going to say a thing.
31:09Good.
31:10I'm mad about checks, only they're not very slim.
31:13That was a call for you.
31:14The beige cortina's been picked up.
31:16They're holding two people.
31:17Where are they?
31:18Airport.
31:19Man and a woman.
31:19He's the man you chased.
31:21Who's the woman?
31:22The journalist.
31:23He's a photographer.
31:24They work for some fringe magazine in London.
31:26On my way.
31:27Oh, almost forgot.
31:29You put that on the stolen list right away, would you?
31:31And I'll love you forever.
31:32I don't know which is busier.
31:34You or your trousers.
31:50You're back.
31:53About an hour.
32:15You're back.
32:18About an hour.
32:19I'll love him.
32:30You're back.
32:31I'll love him.
32:31I'll love you.
32:34You'll be off.
32:35I'll love you.
32:37All I have.
32:38I'll love you.
32:48I'll love you.
32:49Yeah, are they?
32:51Yeah, Josie Rush, George Murrell.
32:54Quite a bundle, Miss Doctor.
32:57They say anything?
32:59Recognised journalists, freedom of the press, all that stuff.
33:01Oh, and a string of four-letter words.
33:03Makes you wonder if she is a writer.
33:05She's a hard bitch.
33:06Is she tough enough to carry a body up a fire escape?
33:09Quite her, run her own.
33:10Together, maybe.
33:13Didn't know it was that serious.
33:15Girls will be boys and boys will be girls.
33:18It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world.
33:21It's up my lord.
33:23La, la, la, la, la.
33:28I left home just a week before.
33:31And I'd never ever kissed a woman before.
33:34The Lord is my...
33:41What are you charging us with?
33:42Breaking and entering, followed by assaults, and that's just for starters.
33:46Look, I just went up to that room to photograph a document, not to steal it.
33:49Journalists sometimes have to work that way.
33:51And what were the sordid tactics you employed before that?
33:53Look, we came over here to get an exclusive on the famine charity Fiddle.
33:57Part of a wider story about wasting third-world money.
33:59Prepared to go a long way, weren't you?
34:02I don't know what you mean.
34:04Don't you?
34:05You're just as crazy as the pigs on the mainland.
34:08Morell, if you use that word again, I will step on your cameras, your hands, and then your head, and
34:12I will smile while I'm doing it.
34:16Jim.
34:22You put out a cheque for a missing work?
34:24Yes.
34:25The bloke tried to sell it half an hour ago.
34:27If the jewellery only got notification after the visit, he'd already turned it down.
34:31Damn it.
34:31It's all right.
34:33He knows the guy.
34:34Thanks.
34:50Paradise Beach Hotel?
35:11What?
35:15No, not me.
35:16Listen, listen.
35:18I don't know anything, okay?
35:21Good job.
35:39You Nino?
35:41Si, Nino.
35:42Nino Mandar.
35:45Not very busy, are you?
35:47No, the tourist season doesn't begin at this end of the island for another month, eh?
35:52You got many rooms?
35:54Si.
35:55You want to rent one?
35:55No.
35:56Have you got time?
35:57Si.
36:00Have you got a watch for sale?
36:02Sir Nino?
36:03Please, start with the watch and then tell me the rest of the story.
36:06I was paid £30 for the rent room for one night. No questions.
36:09Please, you won't tell the manager. It was a private deal.
36:11Who paid her the money? Sir Edward?
36:12Sir Edward who?
36:13The man who died.
36:14Honest, I know nothing about that.
36:16But you had his watch.
36:17I found it after they had gone.
36:19So who rented the room?
36:21A girl.
36:21Who?
36:22She never told me her name.
36:23Was she blonde?
36:24About five foot two.
36:25Slight build.
36:25I'm not sure.
36:26Come on, you can do a downside balance.
36:27See, see, see.
36:28That sounds like her.
36:38May have been in, is she?
36:39No, I just took up the linen and tidied up. That's how I find the watch.
36:47You put this in here, didn't you?
36:48See you, sir.
36:54And you haven't been in here since this morning?
36:56Oh, I was working in the bar.
36:57I heard cars, but I was paid by the look.
37:00Where's the manager?
37:01He's away on holiday.
37:02He's due back tonight.
37:02I've been in charge of this place for a week.
37:04Let's have your passport.
37:06Why have you split us up?
37:11You gonna take my ciggies away?
37:12Handbag.
37:13Why?
37:21No perfume?
37:22I've run out.
37:23And you didn't get any here in Jersey where it's cheap.
37:26You were in rather a hurry.
37:27Yeah, yeah, I bet you were.
37:29I just belong to you.
37:30Never use a stone.
37:34Will you stop sniffing my handbag?
37:37Let's stop messing about, shall we?
37:39You tell me what really happened.
37:41You got Lister into that room to blackmail him, didn't you?
37:44Isn't that the idea?
37:45Catch him with his pants down
37:46and force the details of that document out of him.
37:49You were with Lister when he died.
37:51Oh.
37:52I kept trying to get an interview.
37:53And then you had another idea.
37:55Who suggested the hotel?
37:57I don't know anything about any hotel.
37:59I didn't meet him and I didn't have him.
38:01Well, somebody did.
38:03Was you, wasn't it?
38:04With your photographer friend waiting in the wings.
38:07Take a nice picture of you two.
38:09Put the pressure on.
38:10You've got a dirty mask.
38:11I want the truth.
38:12And you think you know all the answers.
38:14Why do they say it's journalists who always twist things?
38:18Sir Edward pegged out on you.
38:20In bed.
38:22Is that right?
38:23We had nothing whatever to do with his death.
38:26Yes, we wanted the story.
38:27No, we didn't kill him.
38:28Did I say you did?
38:29You'd obviously like to.
38:30No.
38:31Somehow you got Lister into that room.
38:33Then things went wrong.
38:35Morel came in to take the photograph.
38:37There was a row.
38:39Then the unpredictable.
38:40Lister had a heart attack.
38:41You were nervous.
38:42You were scared.
38:43But you managed to get him into the car.
38:45You drove him back to the hotel.
38:46And you lifted him up the fire escape.
38:49Why didn't you steal the document then?
38:51Or couldn't you find it?
38:54I think there's something you ought to know.
38:56What?
38:57Rush is only my maiden name.
38:59I'm married.
39:00To the man you've got next door.
39:03And we're not into that kind of thing.
39:07I think George would let me whore for a story.
39:28Hello.
39:32Well, what do you think?
39:33Great.
39:34I can never afford it.
39:35Just a little more work and it'll be quite chic.
39:38Now that is exactly what I don't want it to be.
39:42Do you want me to come?
39:46Oh, I see you have company.
39:48Yes, you're upstairs.
39:56Daddy!
39:57Daddy!
40:00Daddy!
40:01Daddy, guess what I found?
40:02It's funny drawing with Brandon.
40:04Hello.
40:05You're Kim, aren't you?
40:06Yes, hello.
40:07Kim, this is Francine.
40:11We already met when I painted your gunfathers portrait.
40:14Would you like to keep one?
40:15Yes, please.
40:17I didn't know you were a friend of Daddy's.
40:19Francine has very kindly let me rent this place.
40:22Now, am I going to go on sloshing paint
40:23or shall we get to the hamburgers?
40:27Do you want another one?
40:29Some more ships?
40:29Thanks.
40:30No trouble.
40:31Except when she sits down to supper.
40:33Hey, which reminds me,
40:34I promised your mum you'd be home straight after dinner.
40:37It's gone three o'clock.
40:38Can't I spend the whole weekend with you two?
40:41Not just yet.
40:42When I finish the decorating, all right?
40:43Come on, let's go.
40:45Don't forget the sketch.
40:47Go and choose one.
40:47Yeah.
40:50She's very nice.
40:52Very grown up.
40:52All girls are.
40:55From ten upwards.
40:58By the way, you never explain these items.
41:02Oh, that's evidence.
41:03Of what?
41:04The other woman.
41:06Who?
41:07Wish I knew.
41:08More than one woman, surely.
41:10What?
41:11Oh, no.
41:12They're all the same brand.
41:14Take a look.
41:15Maybe, but not the same lipstick.
41:17Or on this tissue.
41:21You don't have a painter's eye for colour, Jim.
41:39Shouldn't it be a discreet breaststroke at your age, Charlie?
41:43Just the opposite.
41:45Get it all going.
41:45The blood pumping.
41:46I don't want to end up like Lister.
41:47Is that why you're at the hotel?
41:48Yeah.
41:49I thought so.
41:49Hello, Puppet!
41:50Hey, come on.
41:51What have you got there?
41:52It's a present from Francine, the artist lady.
41:54Oh, yes.
41:55So it is.
41:56Daddy's living in her studio.
41:58I'll go and fix this my room.
42:01Isn't it a bit soon?
42:03What?
42:04You know what I mean.
42:04She's only a child.
42:05It's not right to let her see that side of your life.
42:08And I think someone just accused me of having a dirty mind.
42:11You check her for the day, you check responsibility for her, too.
42:14Debbie's your daughter.
42:15Kim is mine.
42:16Now, you get that straight, or I will go for custody.
42:20What were your history?
42:24Phone for you.
42:33Thanks.
42:34Caller says it's urgent.
42:36You rang your new place and a woman answered.
42:39Yes, my French maid.
42:40She wears frilly knickers.
42:44Jim.
42:45It's Roger.
42:46I'm in trouble.
42:49Alcoholics Anonymous, remember?
42:50How bad is it?
42:52Couple of drinks.
42:54I've had a bit of a thrash already.
42:56Well, don't you have any more?
42:58Is your wife there?
42:59Sister.
43:01Tell them to make you a cup of tea.
43:03I'll be right over.
43:26I poured the rest down the sink.
43:29How are you feeling?
43:30Bloody awful.
43:31What do you think?
43:32Oh, come on, Rog.
43:33It was only a slip.
43:34Could be worse.
43:35Fatal for his job, though.
43:37He said two drinks.
43:38He meant two-thirds of a bottle.
43:42You got any more stashed away?
43:44No.
43:45Hey, bloody ass.
43:47Roger.
43:48No.
43:52You know what I do for a living, don't you?
44:04No.
44:06No.
44:07No.
44:07No.
44:31Throw it away, Jim.
44:33If you don't, I will.
44:37You do it.
44:43I'm very grateful to you, Jim.
44:46You know how to.
44:47Well, that's the point.
44:48You can sponsor me if the need arises.
44:51Football, would you believe?
44:53Southampton went two down with a penalty,
44:55and I had to have one.
44:56You went two down when you got the bottles, didn't you?
44:59He's right.
45:00Good of you to come.
45:01That's all right.
45:02Your day off, is it?
45:03Well, sort of.
45:04Though, speaking as a policeman,
45:05I wouldn't try driving that cab of yours.
45:07Right.
45:08Busy are you?
45:09What are you working on?
45:10Lister case.
45:12You're not.
45:13She was in my cab the night he died.
45:16I recognised her from the papers.
45:18I wasn't half in the state.
45:20Of course, I know why now.
45:23You sure it's the same night?
45:24Yeah.
45:25I picked her up from the charity dude,
45:27took her to the Paradise Beach.
45:29What time was that?
45:30I don't know.
45:30About ten, I suppose.
45:33As I left the dinner, the woman phoned me.
45:36She said my husband had had a collapse of some sort.
45:41She gave me the address, and I called a taxi,
45:44because he'd taken the car.
45:47He was dead when I got there.
45:52In that horrible room.
45:57And naked.
46:00It was quite clear what had been.
46:02I'd always known about his affairs,
46:04but I pretended not to.
46:11He was so sordid.
46:18So degrading.
46:21Anyway, then I phoned Peter.
46:23Mr. Castle.
46:25I'm not sure I'd been able to have got through these last few days,
46:28except for him.
46:30Was it his idea to move Sir Edward's body?
46:33No.
46:34No.
46:35No, when he arrived, he tried to urge me to phone the police.
46:40I...
46:40I wouldn't.
46:43And then Peter said we should dress him,
46:46and...
46:47I'm not sure whose idea it was to take him back to the hotel,
46:52but...
46:53it seemed the right thing to do.
46:57Ironic, really.
46:59What is?
47:00Peter helping me to cover up what, in a way, he'd caused.
47:07You see...
47:09Edward needed me.
47:13He depended on me.
47:17And then...
47:19Peter got the job as his assistant, then...
47:22everything changed.
47:25In what way?
47:28Peter...
47:29Peter...
47:31More...
47:32meetings, more...
47:35conferences.
47:36Without you?
47:37Yes.
47:42I don't want to press this,
47:44but the woman who phoned you,
47:46did she say who she was?
47:49Oh!
47:51Who'd you?
48:01Oh!
48:02Excuse me.
48:02Yeah?
48:03Can I help you?
48:03Yeah.
48:04I'd like a word with Nino.
48:05You would, wouldn't you?
48:06So would I.
48:07I've only been up a week, and I left him in charge,
48:09and...
48:09the place has got no racking room in.
48:10So quickly, huh?
48:11Oh, that's the bloody high ties, isn't it?
48:13You know, I've never liked them.
48:14Not since the war, but I mean, you don't have much options, aren't you?
48:16What about Nino?
48:17Eh?
48:18Well, yeah, that's what I'm trying to tell you.
48:19He's not here.
48:20He's scarpered.
48:21I mean, look at this vestibule.
48:23He's going to send me a mug to get this put right,
48:24now we've got folk coming in.
48:25You know, bookings and all that.
48:27You got any idea where he is?
48:28Eh?
48:29Well, he'd probably have worked at Napoli by now.
48:30He's not that far.
48:31I've got his passport.
48:32You what?
48:34Please.
48:36Oh.
48:37Well, it's like that, is it?
48:38Yeah.
48:38Been a naughty boy, has he?
48:40What's he been up to when he went there mucking things up, eh?
48:43If you knew he was still on the island, where would you look for him?
48:46Well, I'll tell you, I'll try.
48:47He's a long shot, man, I'm not sure, but if you'll find him,
48:50you'll put one in for me, right?
48:51Yeah.
48:53There's this club in St Elliot.
49:19Shit.
49:21Oh!
49:40Ah, I ordered a bottle of wine.
49:42Ah, no thanks, not for me.
49:44You stick to it, I'll have the water.
49:47So, you think you know who the woman was then?
49:53I thought that's what you wanted to ask me about.
49:55No, but I still think there's something you have to tell me.
49:59Really?
50:00What about?
50:02Went to a certain nightclub tonight.
50:06Talked to Nina.
50:10Oh.
50:12You could have saved us a great deal of trouble.
50:17People are so ready to misunderstand.
50:19Perhaps you should try being honest with them.
50:22You believe in live and let live then, Sergeant?
50:25Oh, I do.
50:26And I also believe in die and let's have an explanation for the dying.
50:30So tell me about it.
50:36I know you had a very personal relationship with Sir Edward.
50:40Apart from being his assistant.
50:44Yes.
50:47The truth is, I'm a promiscuous person.
50:51Something Edward never accepted.
50:54In our trips abroad, I...
50:58Well, it never meant anything any more than it meant here.
51:02I met Nina one evening in a club.
51:05He suggested the Paradise Beach.
51:09Somehow, Sir Edward found out and followed me there.
51:13He burst into the room and started shouting.
51:17And I suddenly knew something was terribly wrong.
51:22He fell down on the floor and he couldn't breathe.
51:26I knew he was having a heart attack.
51:30Oh.
51:31We tried everything.
51:32Nothing worked.
51:34It was very frightening.
51:37Nina wanted to run.
51:39But I decided the only thing to do was to make it look decent.
51:44For Diana's sake.
51:46As if he had been with another woman?
51:48Yes.
51:50Jersey does have a reputation for being rather square.
51:54That could be.
51:55But that wasn't your reason, was it?
51:59You don't have to believe me.
52:00And I don't, Mr. Castle.
52:01You're not concerned about Lady Diana.
52:04It's your own name that bothers you.
52:08I drove back to the hotel.
52:12Nino got the girl to phone Diana.
52:14And the rest you know.
52:18Will you tell her?
52:21There's no point.
52:23But if any of this gets out, I could lose my job.
52:26And it's rough enough for me already.
52:28All right?
52:32Will you be resigning?
52:35Is there any choice?
52:37No, not really.
52:44Goodbye, Mr. Castle.
52:47Goodbye.
52:54What was that all about?
52:57None of your business.
52:59Amanda Mantalk.
53:00Giving you some advice, was he?
53:02A little extra knowledge, yeah.
53:03Oh, it's true.
53:04Oh, it's true.
53:05Oh, it's true.
53:12Thanks, Matt.
53:12Bye.
53:13Bye.
53:15Bye.
53:25Bye.
