Who is it?

Me. Oh, come in.

Good morning.

Morning. You busy?

Yes. I come to say goodbye. I'm off to New York.

Off to where?

I'm off to New York. Now, I'm clearing out my cupboards because I shan't be

needing these things for some time because I shan't be eating in and I

you might be able to use them. Thank you, Steve.

I should probably be away for some time.

I should be able to get some of my own work done then.

Yes, it would be quite a welcome change for you, wouldn't it? Now, there are

certain things here I thought you'd like in particular, so I picked them out.

Sugared mangoes go very well with cornflakes, I think.

Good, I remember that.

Yeah, I've been trying to get rid of those for years.

Before we go on to Washington, too, do you know Professor David Ranter?

Yes.

You do?

Well, apparently he's solved the problem of high -speed industrial fuel. Oh,

good. I knew he was on the point. Well, that's all I know about him. I'm

apparently to accompany the old boy on the trip.

You know, in case he gets too talkative to strangers. Just a routine job.

And here's another dry old sticker. Much rather take you.

Much rather take you.

Four and a half days luxury. An ocean liner.

The sea, the sun, the moonlight.

You obviously don't read the weather reports.

Last week's crossing was a very rough one.

This is a rare treat.

Bumblebees, jellied, made in Japan.

Splendid. There's one place they know how to jelly a bumblebee. It's good old

Nippon.

I'm going to miss you, of course.

I hope you both have a good trip. Thank you very much. I just had to come and

tell you about it.

Well, goodbye, Mrs. Gayle. Goodbye, Steve.

Yes, well, the change will do me good.

It was very good.

I'll phone you when I get back.

Send your postcard?

Put a stamp on it this time.

Good morning, Mrs. Renter. Yes?

My name is Dee, John Dee. Is your husband at home? I'm afraid not.

Are you selling something?

Oh, this is a business matter. When will he be in?

He's gone away.

Perhaps I can let him know you called. Hold on one minute. I'll just give you

card. Oh.

There we are.

Thank you. Oh, wonderful.

Oh, dearie me. Just a moment.

I'll get it for you.

Thank you so much.

It's a very important matter.

When's he likely to be back?

I'm afraid you don't understand, Mr...

Indeed. My husband has gone into retirement.

I beg your pardon?

For some time now, he's been intending to renounce worldly goods. He's always

been a millionaire. He inherited a fortune from his father.

But now he's seeking a simpler way of life. He went into meditation a week

I see. Will you be joining him?

In the course of time.

Is this your husband?

Yes, it was done last year. He's a fine -looking man. Very fine, indeed.

Would it be possible to get in touch with him? Oh, no. I'm afraid the

of Adelphi Park don't allow visitors.

Is this his laboratory?

Yes. This is where he did all his work. Did his work? But surely, is he going to

retirement for the rest of his life? Yes, that's what retirement means. But

at the height of his career.

I mean, what is he, 60?

61 in May.

I'm very surprised that he didn't tell the Research Council about this.

He went rather suddenly.

I'm sorry I can't be of any further assistance, Mr. Steve.

You will let him know that I called?

I will.

Thank you.

How long do you think it'll take you to perfect the part? Well, in the old days,

I used to learn my parts in a few hours. This is a bit different, of course, but

I shouldn't think it'll take too long.

Good, good. We'll move you down to Adelphi Park at the end of the week.

good, Mr. Lomax. I'm looking forward to that.

Who was it? A man called... Steve. He wanted to see my husband.

What about him? I don't know.

He's a salesman or something.

All right. Now, where were we? You were describing the garden. Yes, it was a

large garden with a 300 -year -old lawn. And there were some rhododendron bushes

to the left of the fish pond. No, it was the herbaceous border on that side. I

remember so well because that's where we first met, behind the herbaceous

border. It was his birthday. Mrs. Renner, I'm sure he has all that by now.

Now, let's go over this again.

Where were you born?

5th of May, 1902 at Wickhamstead in Berkshire. Exact address?

Fairfield Tate Lane.

Your father's full name? Harold Frederick.

You were christened? David Frederick Renters.

Blended!

Professor, rent us replacement.

Good, good. One of the best we've had yet.

When are you going to find a replacement for my late, lamented husband?

Don't you worry about that.

It'll only take a couple of days.

Besides, nobody's going to miss him anyway.

Least of all me.

Bethany. Well, with every surprise.

Hi. You've just interrupted a rather important discussion.

Oh, I couldn't stand it a minute longer.

What happened?

I just got bored.

I mean, finishing school's one thing, but being stuck 3 ,000 feet up in the

Swiss Alps with a gaggle of screaming females, well, it's not my idea of fun.

No, I suppose not.

Don't worry, though. Father won't mind. Is he? He's, um, gone away for a few

days. Oh, well, then what's Mr. Lomax doing here? Well, I told you, we were

discussing business. It's all to do with your father.

Now, look, why don't you go and wash and change, and then when you come back,

you can tell us all about Switzerland.

Okay.

Welcome home.

I thought you said she wasn't coming back for another month. She wasn't meant

to. All right, what are you going to tell her about her father, huh?

I'm going to say he's gone into retirement.

That's what I'd like to do with you. What?

Go into retirement.

But not at the Delphi Park.

Good morning. I see Professor Renter, please. Have you got a yellow card?

I'm afraid I haven't.

I'm afraid he won't see you.

How do I get hold of this little yellow card? If he didn't give you one before

he came, it means he doesn't want to see you. Look, this is extremely important.

He's expecting me. I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about it. Now, hold on

minute. Perhaps you'll give me... There we are. Here's my card.

Hold on a second, lady. It's all right. There's all the time in the world.

Now, I'm sure that when he knows who I am, he'll want to get in touch with me.

Mrs. Paula Madden, yes?

Can I speak to my husband, please?

It's your wife.

Hello. It's Amanda in here looking for a renter. Thought you'd want to know.

Do you want to know?

Yes, I want to know.

Did you get his name?

He insisted on leaving his card.

His name's John Steed, 5 Westminster Muse.

Wrote something on the back of the card.

Would you like to know what it was?

Yes, I'd like to know what it was.

It says Queen Mary, New York.

Now, don't you think that's interesting?

I don't know how interesting it is until I talk to Mrs. Redder. Maybe she knows

what it's all about. I'll have to go and see her. Oh, don't call her mine,

because it's only next door, isn't it? It must be most convenient for you.

Is that all?

Have you thought about my proposition?

Yeah, no chance. Out of the question. Oh, sorry about that.

You won't like prison.

No one ever does.

Now, you hear me.

And hear me good.

You try and jail me, you bring trouble on yourself.

I don't think so. After all, I was dragged into it.

Wife has to do what her husband tells her, lives in what the Lord and Master

gives her. But since our relationship has somewhat deteriorated and we're no

more than just good business partners, I think it should be a 50 -50 share out.

I'll give you till tomorrow to think about it.

So she's threatening us again.

She's got to give me a little more morning to think about it.

Darling, what are you going to do?

Call the undertakers.

Queen's funeral parlor.

Oh, yes, yes.

Tomorrow night. Good.

Good.

That's right, Mr. Harper.

Remove the lid.

Oh, and tomorrow night, gentlemen, we'll all be working late again. I hope you

don't mind.

Good,

good. I do like working with cooperative people.

Where are my jellied bumblebees?

I ate them.

You did?

That's what you gave them to me for, wasn't it? How could you?

They were delicious.

I thought they were supposed to be one of your favorites.

Certainly not.

You never know with the Orient. They might have jellied the sting.

Steve, what went wrong today?

Professor Renters, retired from the world, joined some exclusive cult.

And he's gone into meditation at the retreat just outside London. It's very,

very inconvenient and very sudden.

But not surprising. He's probably overworked. I went to the place this

afternoon. There's a high wall around it.

And there's a chain across the door. I couldn't even get him to see him.

a Mrs.

Lomax there, and she sort of guards the place. She won't let you in without a

yellow card.

Well,

that's all right, provided he gives Professor Renter the peace and quiet he

wants. Well, he can go into meditation with a vengeance. He's welcome.

If only he'd left his plans outside.

Oh, that reminds me. Here's something.

Have a look at it.

That's a copy of the local electoral register. I got it from the town hall. I

wanted to see how many inmates there were at Adolphe Park.

Steed, don't these names mean anything to you? No, I discounted it.

Well, have a look at this. Horace Oxenbow.

Horace who?

Oxenbow.

Harold Daly?

That strikes a chord.

Steed, all these people are millionaires.

Good morning, sir. Mr. Green. I am Mr. Small of Small, Blake and Somba, Finest

Funeral Suppliers.

No doubt you've received our card? I don't think so.

You've all of Small, Blake and Somba? No, I'm afraid not. Oh, dear me.

Now, you're an old established firm, eh, Mr. Green? 30 years, man and boy, my

father before that. That's wonderful, very wonderful. But haven't you ever

thought you want to be more up -to -date, operate more economically?

Well, how?

So glad you asked me.

What?

Goodness.

That's tasteful.

It's very tasteful. Thank you. Now, let me show you how small, big, and somber

you plan to help your smaller funeral director. Now, this here is a grave

-extracting unit. A what? A grave -extracting unit. It cuts down on

saves several hundred wages, operated by one man.

Accurate to a quarter of an inch, adaptable to all types of soil.

Capable for horsepower. No, I never need one of those, Mr. Small. I'm too small

a concern.

I hardly ever need more than one digger at a time. Now, this illustrates in

colour our complete range of plastic flowers. No wilting, always in season.

we can supply the correct fragrance to go with your bloom. Eight and six, a

smaller bottle. Ten and six, your larger.

No, no, no.

Now, here we have our list of tape -recorded music.

It says how in your organist, no bad notes, unsuitable hymns.

And it can be faded down and played.

All the way through. Oh, no, no. Now, this is our must. This is our pride, a

small black and somber. Mr. Small, I have been an undertaker. Funeral

Mr. Green. What do you like? I've been burying people.

Interring, interring. Putting people in their graves.

Resting places, Mr. Green. For nearly a whole lifetime.

There isn't the money or the inclination in the district for all this fancy

stuff. Oh, come now, Mr. Green.

What about your clients at Adelphi Park?

Now, surely you'd like to provide a Class A supreme service for that sort of

person? Mr. Small, I think I can say without boasting we are able to provide

funeral service fit for any standard of living.

I've got one on our hands at the moment. Let me show you.

I know what you big suppliers think of small family concerns like mine.

But you have a look at this.

No one could do a more complete search.

The late...

No chain today?

Good morning.

And you remember John Steed?

Oh, yes, of course. You're the salesman.

Oh, not actually.

I thought you said you were the salesman the last time you came.

Mrs. Brent, I'd like to speak to you, if it's possible.

The last time, it was my husband you wanted to see. And this time it's you.

Oh, oh.

Come in, then. Thank you.

What a charming place you have here. Yes, it was designed for such a charming

young man.

Well, Mrs. Renter, are you aware that your husband should have been in New

yesterday? He didn't say anything to me about it.

Are you sure?

Are you sure?

Where is he going?

For the past few months, your husband has found a completely new approach to

problem of high -speed industrial film. Oh, he said nothing to me about it.

Well, in the past few weeks, he reported to the search council that he perfected

his idea. So the British and American governments decided to give him time to

develop this invention, you see. And this meeting is to take place in New

on Wednesday.

I see. And whom do you represent?

Well, I... I'm just the civil servant who is to accompany him on the trip. So

you can see it's terribly important I see him.

But I've told you, Mr. Steed, my husband has gone into meditation.

I understand.

If I have a yellow card, I can get into Adelphi Park and see her. Oh, I'm sorry.

They are for relatives only.

Then delete my message for me.

These plans must be somewhere. It's imperative they get to New York. You

mentioned New York. This could be very good for you and your husband, you know.

The government are prepared to finance his invention to a very high degree.

the inventor's royalties alone could amount to, whoa, a million pounds.

But I already have a million.

I'm sure another one wouldn't be in the way, huh? Well, I'm not so sure.

What with death duties, being rich hardly seems worthwhile.

I suppose not.

Mrs. Renton, may I put it another way?

If I don't go back with the plans, my boss is going to be very, very angry.

I see.

Would you like to sit down, Mr. Steed? Thank you. I'll see if there's anything

in my husband's laboratory.

Thank you very much, Mrs. Renton.

Good afternoon, young lady.

Where did you spring from?

Next door. The balcony runs all the way around.

Convenient.

Am I disturbing you?

No, I was just looking around.

What's for you?

Uh, brandy, if you have anything.

I think you'll like this one.

It's a five -star Napoleon.

I'm quite sure I shall. Thank you, Jim.

Are you a burglar?

Well, not exactly, Professor. You know, Mrs. Renter and I were going through

some papers.

Oh, she's here, then? Yes, she's in the laboratory searching there.

I understand

the Professor's taken up meditating.

Oh, we've been talking about doing that for years. You really mean for years?

Well, ever since before I went off to Switzerland.

Skiing? No, finishing school.

But they said that I already was the M, so they threw me out. Do you know the

professor well?

Oh, yes. Our families have always been locked in each other's bosoms.

Ever since the professor and my father went to school together. Really? Who is

your father? Robert Madden. The?

The Robert Madden? Mm -hmm.

All those concrete rabbit worms out there. He owns every other one.

I wonder if I might speak to your father. He might tell me something about

professor. Oh, my father disappeared three days ago. Oh, he disappeared.

Mr. Steve?

Oh, isn't that me?

Oh, you've got yourself a drink. Good, Mr. Steve.

Excuse me.

I can't find anything.

But I'm going to Adelphi Park tonight, so I'll search through my husband's

things there.

Why not ask him?

That's exactly what I meant.

When will you be back?

That's indefinite, you see.

I'm going to become the matron there.

Won't that be very hard work?

Oh, I shall have to find an assistant, of course. I'm just going to do the

administration. Oh, I still thought looking after this great big penthouse

give you plenty to do. Oh, don't imagine I'm going to work for my living, Mr.

Deed. Adelphi Park is run by friends of mine. I'm just going to keep an eye on

the place.

We can keep an eye on her. Why do you want to send her to look after Adelphi

Park? Because I think it's a good idea. And I think she's cockle. Well, exactly.

It's why it's a good idea.

Listen. The matron of the Delphi Park is just as cut off in the outside world as

the inmates are. This Mrs. Rutter's so dumb, she's the perfect alibi.

She actually believes that what we're doing is morally right. She won't be

to cope.

Don't you worry about that. I'm going to get her an assistant that can cope. But

it could be risky.

There's no risk involved.

Naturally, I'm going to get her an assistant that we can trust. But that

be risky, too. Come on, Paula, I've thought about this thing. Why did you

think...

I wish I knew what you saw in that man, Paula.

He's a friend of the family.

He's no friend of mine.

It's too bad.

If you don't like it, why don't you go back to Switzerland?

Yes, it must be rather embarrassing having me home again.

Since you bring the matter up, yes.

And that's why my father's gone away.

What do you mean? He couldn't stand it any longer watching you with Loma. Have

you quite finished? No, I haven't.

I want to know about my father.

Either you tell me where he is or I'm going to the police. They won't be able

help you. We'll see.

It's not going to do you any good to know what's happened. What has happened?

Your father's ill. We had to put him in a home.

I don't believe it.

It's the truth, Daphne.

Well, then can I see him?

No.

It'll be quite some time before either of us see him.

I'll go.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Is Mr. Madden here? No, I'm afraid not. He asked me to call on him.

It was about the donation he wanted to make to the Architects' Friendly Society

of Great Britain.

May I come in?

I'm Mrs.

Madden.

Now, what was this about a donation?

It's simply that he asked me to call on him today at this time.

And when did he talk to you about this?

The day before yesterday.

But I'm afraid that's quite impossible.

Why? Because my husband left for the country on Tuesday.

Then my secretary must have got the message wrong.

Could you tell me whereabouts in the country I might find him?

My husband's gone into retirement. He's staying at Adelphi Park. Thank you. But

I'm afraid you can only write to him there.

He won't see any visitors.

The ice, madam.

Ice.

And agitate vigorously.

Agitate vigorously, agitate.

if her husband went to Adelphi Park? On Tuesday.

Well, the vessel couldn't have been there much longer.

Doesn't it strike you as odd that two millionaires, both of them... Oh, I'm so

sorry. Both of them neighbours should go away and hide themselves like that?

No. Steve, I've been looking at this electoral register again.

There's something else the inmates of Adelphi Park have in common. You know

some wealthy people give away their money before they die?

To evade death duties? Well, it's not exactly evasion. It's perfectly legal.

You see, the death duties on a million pounds would be 800 ,000.

Now, that would make a sizable drop in the standard of living of, say, the

widow, who was left with only 200 ,000.

There's always national assistance.

Yes. So the wise millionaire makes over his money to his next of kin before

death. That way it's a gift and tax -free.

Sounds too easy.

Exactly. There is a snag.

You see, the gift must be made not less than five years before death.

Otherwise the duty is still payable.

You explain it quite beautifully, Mrs. Cahill.

What's this got to do with Adelphi Park?

What if they're aware of keeping the millionaire alive for the required five

years?

On the books, at least.

You see, no one ever sees the inmates of Adelphi Park.

Quite.

Of course, there is one person who could see all the inmates.

Oh, you're proposing to scale the high wall. Oh, no, nothing so energetic.

But they're looking for an assistant to...

Matron. Female.

It's time we were moving, gentlemen.

The lid's on.

I was getting worried about you.

The traffic back to town was slower than the funeral.

How was your wife's funeral?

Good, good.

Where's Daphne?

Oh, she's out. She went for a drive. I had to tell her about her father.

Your what?

Well, not the truth, darling, but she went on and on and on. So in the end, I

told her her father had gone into a home.

Oh, good, good.

I'll buy you a drink in there.

As a woman, I find something rather intriguing about a murderer.

Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I've never killed anybody in my life.

I have some men in the country that do that for me.

The undertakers.

Oh.

A woman came round here today asking to see my husband.

Oh, who was she? Oh, I don't know. It doesn't matter. Well, sure it matters.

Well, darling, by now she'll be on her way to look him up at Adelphi Park.

Well, you can take care of her there.

What would you want?

Oh, she said something about a donation for some architect's friendly society.

Come on, honey. That could have been a genuine thing. Maybe you did offer to

give them something.

Darling, my late husband never gave away a penny in his life.

That woman was a phony.

Yes.

Yes, I've got that.

We'll keep an eye open for her.

By the way, if a woman calls from the Architects' Friendly Society and asks to

see Mr. Madden, invite her in and let me know immediately.

Yes, of course.

Sorry to disturb you, my dear, but have you got the key of the croquet cupboard?

Harold and I wanted to have a game. Well, it's still fine. Certainly, my

Mrs. Gale, would you mind? The keys are on the board behind you.

Of course, you haven't met my husband, have you?

Professor Renter?

How do, dear?

This is Mrs. Gale, who's come to help me. She just started today.

Would you like a cup of tea to take along with you, dear? Yes, I would, my

Is this the game? Yes, that's the one. I hope that you'll enjoy working with my

wife. Yes, I'm sure I shall.

You take sugar?

You think you ought to know that by this time, my dear?

Thank you.

See you at supper.

Well, you must be dead.

That isn't your husband. No.

My husband is dead.

You see, there's an organization called the Undertakers. They arrange to keep

people, millionaires like my husband, alive.

Does seem a funny name for it, the Undertakers, doesn't it? But they're

nice people. You'd like them. How many lumps, my dear?

Two, please.

Well, you see, three years ago, my husband made all his money over to me.

That would have been all right if he'd lived for a further five years.

But if the... person dies in less than five years, then the government comes

along and takes all your money.

Yes, I know all about that. Oh, good.

Then you'll understand.

Well, this organization called the Undertakers promises to keep the person

legally alive.

And for that, they only take 25%. So, when my husband died,

all I had to do was to call the Undertakers, and they quietly disposed

body. And my husband's name was taken on by this retired actor gentleman you

just met.

And what happens to him after the five years? Oh, the undertakers will look

after him.

Aren't you taking a great risk?

I don't think so. This death duty business is wicked, breaking up all the

estate. Everybody would be on our side if there were any trouble.

But how do you know you can trust me?

Because I know all about your criminal record.

I checked back with the agency who sent you. I spoke to such a nice gentleman

who told me all about you. I think his name was Steed.

That's funny. I know another Mr. Steed.

Well, I think it's a wonderful idea.

Yes. Mr. Lomax runs the organization. You should meet him soon.

Is that who I'm working for now?

Oh, no.

There's another gentleman above him.

But I don't know who it is.

What time do you expect Lomax to arrive?

No idea. You know how it is. He pops down to Adelphi Park perhaps once a

He should be here within a couple of days.

Well, let me know the moment he turns up.

Is Mrs. Renter managing all right? She's a rather curious person, but I expect

she'll be all right. Oh, she's got herself an assistant, a Mrs. Gale.

Do we know anything about her?

I believe Mrs. Renter checked on her.

Apparently she was in jail at some time.

Oh, then I think we can trust her.

Oh, I must be getting down to Adelphi Park.

I've got a funeral there this morning.

Is everything all right in there?

Yes, yes, you've fixed the room up quite nicely.

Oh, you might bring me back a pound of lung sugar. Of course.

Oh, by the way, what do you intend to do with Lomax when he arrives?

Kill him, of course.

The time has come for you to pass on.

Soon you'll be joining your loved ones in the promised land.

Oh. Who's that for? For you, my dear. How nice.

Such beautifully polished wood. But of course, it's fit for a millionaire.

I do hope you have a restful journey.

Now, here's your ticket and some pocket money for the trip. And we've already

paid 2 ,000 pounds sterling into the Bank of New South Wales in your name.

I mean your real name. Of course.

The taxi room, Mrs. Baker, has just arrived. Then if you're ready, Mrs.

It is so lovely for you to see your son again. Mr. Lomax has written to tell him

exactly what time your ship will arrive in Sydney. Thank you.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

Goodbye, Mrs. Baker.

Goodbye.

Excuse me. Could you tell me where I could find Mr.

Madden? Oh, yes.

There's Mr. Madden over there, my dear. Thank you.

Daddy?

Hmm?

Oh, I'm sorry. I was looking for Mr. Madden. I am Mr. Madden.

But you're not my father.

That's right, my dear.

Hello, Max.

Green here.

Daphne Madden's turned up at Adelphi Park. What do you want me to do?

All right, yes.

See you later.

Well, what did he say? Wants me to keep it at Delphi Park till he turns up. He's

leaving London now with your wife.

Oh, very accommodating of him.

Tell me, when's your next fake funeral? Well, there's a lady who went off to

Australia this morning. Now, she was posing as Dame Gwyneth Hope Griffith.

over her two million pound estate to her younger sister.

Died three weeks later. I remember her.

Charming old lady. Charming two million pounds. From the death duties you saved

the sister, you must have made... 160 ,000.

I hope you don't feel that I haven't been looking after you properly.

Oh, no, no, no, no. You've been most generous.

And in future, you can do even better, now that I've decided that the

organization can dispense with Mr. Lomax completely.

Now, about tomorrow's funeral, instead of the usual load of bricks, the coffin

will contain Mr. Lomax.

Lomax 315.

And what about your wife?

I haven't quite decided.

I don't know about the assistant major. Thank you. I'm in renter's apartment.

The plans aren't here. She's cleared the place out. How are you, patient?

We were right about this place.

All these so -called millionaires are phonies. They're all standing in for

people who've died.

That's just what I thought. I got the income tax revenue.

Look at that list of names.

All of them have left money to their inheritors during their lifetime.

They probably made a contract with the undertakers to keep them alive

during a five -year period.

It's a neat little racket.

down this afternoon to collect her. I think she ought to be here.

Yes, darling, not a lot of work. Hey, on your way down, have a look at Green's

funeral parlor.

Well, Lomax should be there soon.

Are you ready?

Just finishing this.

Hmm. I think this should be rather interesting.

Are you quite sure my daughter's safe?

Oh, yes. Nothing will happen until Lomax gets there. Mrs. Renter wouldn't harm

her.

It's loaded.

Good.

Now, tell me, Green, when Lomax ordered you to murder me and dispose of my body,

why didn't you? Well, sir, I reckon that the organization could operate without

Mr. Lomax, but it certainly couldn't operate without you.

After all, it takes a millionaire to be on speaking terms with other

millionaires. Without you, how would you ever find any new clients?

I see, so it wasn't a question of personal loyalty.

Oh, no, sir. I'm in this for what I can get out of it.

That's why you can trust me.

All right, Frank, it's all yours.

Stepmother should be here soon. I think it'd be better if you left first. Is

there anybody else about? Apart from Mrs. Renter, I don't think so.

What do you want me to do? Well, I'll show you to the main gate.

When you get outside, walk into the village and catch the next train back to

town. Right?

Oh,

there you are.

I thought we'd have some coffee.

A slugger? No, I will. It should be them. You take these into the lounge.

This is our chance. Come on. Not this way, Mrs. Gale.

Sorry, Daphne, you won't be able to leave just yet. Why not?

Got a little something to discuss with Mrs. Gale. We're on to your friend,

Steve. You haven't been fooling anybody since that phone call.

You're right, Mrs. Renner. She was trying to sneak Daphne out.

That's the woman who came for the Dinesh. Oh, dear.

Paula, what's happened to my father?

He's dead.

I'm afraid he died of a heart attack, dear.

Well, why didn't you tell me before?

It had to be hushed up, dear. It's his day duties.

It's all for your own good. All right, all right, Paula. Take Daphne back to

town and call her.

I'm going to wait to meet this man, Steve.

Cover her green.

All right, Paula.

Get back, Daphne.

Well, what are you going to do with her?

Take her back to London in the car.

Oh, well, we'll all go together. What about me?

I'll let you worry about that for a while.

Daphne, take a stepmother to the car and Mrs. Renter.

I have some business to discuss with Mrs. Gale.

I really don't understand.

Now, Mrs. Gale, your colleague's been taken care of.

I just want you to tell me all you know about our organization.

patient, please.

Shatner, have you ever used a gun before? No.

Well, have a go now, and shoot if he moves.

Thank you.

Well, there won't be much more of this for me. After I've paid my poor

death duties, I shall only have 250 ,000 left.

Give or take a thousand.

To think of that clear conscience, Mrs. Renter. I suppose so.

Still, it won't buy champagne.

And no, thank you, Mr. Seed. I must be off round the world.

Have I done everything? I've said goodbye to Daphne, sweet girl. Do keep

on her. I think her father's in some sort of trouble with the police. Just

thing, Mrs. Wendell. That's why I have to come here. You know those papers of

your husband that you found, the letters you sent me? Oh, yes. I forgot to post

them. I was kept so busy when he died.

In one of those envelopes.

You've got the plans I needed. Oh, I have plans.

They've gone to New York. Now, the inventor's royalties on that, and all

you, will amount to, well, around a million.

Dollars or pounds?

Oh, that is nice news. It'll be taxed, of course. No way around that, I

No. Oh, my taxi. They charge by the minute, you know. Goodbye. Goodbye, Mrs.

Spencer.

Goodbye, Mrs. Spencer. Have a lovely trip. Thank you.

I'm glad they didn't prefer charges against us.

It wouldn't be possible.

They'd never have understood.

You know, she wanted to take Daphne on the trip, but she wanted to stay with

father for the drive.

Yeah, it was a couple of weeks ago.

I mean, ahead, I'm so sorry. Ahead, yes.

I understand he's opening a Delphi park to the public.

Smart move.

Yeah.

We might have a little drive down there, eh?

They were very big, weren't they?

What? You know that fountain thing?

They were very big girls.

Thank you.
