What's happened? Darling, you've got to help me. It looks like a bridge party. Please, this is terribly serious. 596 00:30:36,040 --> 00:31:05,720 What are you up to? Will you help me? Of course, what's it all about? You are up to something, aren't you Clarissa? What is it? You found a body? Yes, I have found a body. What? What do you mean you found a body? It's what Jeremy said. I came down here and I found a body. Oh really? I'm serious. Look behind the sofa. It's Costello. My sainted aunt, she's right. We must hurry. There's so little time. Wait, we must get the facts clear. What happened? As I said, I came into 597 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:14,920 this room and and he was lying there like that. He's dead all right. He's been hit over the head 598 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:19,320 with something heavy and sharp. There's only one thing to be done. You must call the police at once. 599 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:26,120 No, Rowley, stop. You should have done it in the first place, my dear. You told me that you would help if ever I was in trouble. 600 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:32,920 Yes, but how, Clarissa? What do you want us to do? Get rid of the body. Don't talk nonsense. This is murder. 601 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:40,120 That's the whole point. I realized that we mustn't have the body in this house. So I started to drag it towards the recess. 602 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:47,320 But my dear, Clarissa, you mustn't go moving dead bodies about. Oh, I was fully aware that I needed help. That's why I rang you. 603 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:56,320 And while I was waiting, I made a plan. Including the bridge table. This is going to be our alibi. What on earth do you mean? 604 00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:02,920 Two and a half rubbers. I've imagined all the hands and I've written down the scores. Now you three must fill out the 605 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:10,120 of the piece in your own handwriting. You're mad. Raving mad. I've worked it out beautifully. It's going to take two of 606 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:17,320 you to carry the body. A dead body is most unmanageable. I found that out already. Just where do you expect us to take it? 607 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:23,320 I think the best place would be Marsden Wood. You can park the car by the side of the road and walk back here. 608 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:30,520 But this is monstrous. I'm a justice of the piece. You'll need some gloves. We mustn't risk you 609 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:37,720 getting your fingerprints over anything. Darling, your natural talent for crime leaves me speechless. 610 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,920 You've got it beautifully worked out, hasn't she? Yes, she has, but it's nonsense all the same. 611 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,920 We must hurry, because Henry's due back here at nine o'clock with Mr. Jones. 612 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:50,920 Mr. Jones? Who's he? I'd never realised how much explaining there was to be done in a murder. Jeremy. 613 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:56,920 Well, I'm game, Clarissa. I mean, what's a dead body or two? Stop. I'm not going to allow this. Clarissa, you must be guided by me. 614 00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:08,920 I want Henry to consider, too. But Henry is the one I'm thinking of. He's gone to collect a very, very important person and bring them back here. And there's to be absolutely no publicity whatsoever. 615 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:26,120 Mr. Jones? Silly name, I agree, but that's what they're calling him. Now, can you imagine the effect on Henry's career if he were to arrive and discover the police in charge of a murder? And the murder, that of a man who has just married his former wife? Wait a minute. 616 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:34,120 You're not making this up, are you? You'll never believe me when I tell the truth. I'm sorry. This is going to be a more difficult problem than I thought. 617 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:42,120 And now do you see why we have to get the body out of here? Right. Do we take the car to the body or the body to the car? No, wait. We mustn't rush it like this. 618 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:50,120 Clarissa, I'm not sure your plan is the best one. If we could delay finding the body until tomorrow morning by moving it to another room, for instance, then it might be excusable. 619 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:54,120 Roley, this is urgent. Come in here. 620 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:59,320 Now. 621 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:06,320 Darling, I love you very much and always will, but in this case the answer is no. 622 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:18,320 That man's body cannot be discovered in this house. If it is, we'll all be questioned and Pippa cannot stand up to it. Pippa? She'll break down and confess. 623 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:19,320 Pippa? 624 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:34,320 She didn't mean to do it. She got in a panic and struck out blindly with that stick. What stick? The one in the hall stand. It's in the recess now. I left it there. Where is she now? In bed. I'm going to take her to London tomorrow. I must get her away from here. 625 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:42,320 All right, darling, you win. I apologize. That child must be protected at all costs. Come on. 626 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:49,320 We're rolling. I'm converted. There's not a moment to lose. Get hold of those. 627 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:54,320 - How does this open? - I'll do it. Pippa showed me. 628 00:34:54,320 --> 00:35:10,320 Oh! This is it. Heavy enough. Come on, let's get the body. Right. 629 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,320 - Better cover him with this. - Right. 630 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,320 Good luck. 631 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:33,320 - Police. - What? What the devil are they doing? 632 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:37,320 - We can't get in the car now. - That'll be the house. That'll be just up under a bush somewhere. 633 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:42,320 - No, no. Back into the house. - The police. 634 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:48,320 - Here, don't we know it. Answer it. Keep talking. Delaying tactics. Give us time. 635 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:52,320 - Round the other way. - Round the other way. That's it. Put him down. 636 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,320 - Fiend. - Fiend up his legs. 637 00:35:55,320 --> 00:36:00,320 - Come close the thing. Come out and sit. - Hi. 638 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,320 Come sit down. Quick, quick. 639 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:08,320 Your call, Hugo. Quick! 640 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:22,320 - You could have spared me that. - What do I do with these? - Come here. Come here. Come and sit down. What are you playing at, Hugo? 641 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,320 Guess what, darlings? The police. 642 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:27,320 The police? 643 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:28,320 Evening, gentlemen. 644 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:35,320 Sorry to intrude, but we've had information that a murder's been committed here. 645 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:39,320 What? Murder? Impossible. 646 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:40,320 Isn't it extraordinary? 647 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:41,320 Yes. 648 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:45,320 We had a telephone call at the police station. Good evening, Mr. Birch. 649 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,320 Good evening, Inspector Lord. How are you? 650 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:51,320 Very well, thank you, sir.

We've been playing bridge all evening, haven't we? 652 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:55,320 Yes. 653 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:56,320 Who did you say was murdered? 654 00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:00,320 No names were mentioned, madam. The caller just said a man had been murdered at Copleston Court. 655 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,320 What a wicked thing to do. 656 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:03,320 Thank you, madam. 657 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:08,320 You'd be surprised at some of the crazy things people do do. 658 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,320 You're Miss Dianne Schumbrown, sir. Me? No. 659 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:14,320 Oh, no. This is Mr. Warrender. And this is Sir Roland Delahaye. 660 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:15,320 How do you do, sir? 661 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,320 I don't know. And your husband, madam? 662 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,320 Oh, he's not here. He's going to be back very late. 663 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,320 I see. Anyone else in the house? 664 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:26,320 Just my 12-year-old stepdaughter. She's upstairs fast asleep. 665 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:27,320 Servants? 666 00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,320 It's their night out. They're in Maidstone. 667 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,320 I see. Well, there's obviously been a misunderstanding. 668 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:38,320 I'm sorry for troubling you, madam, but I'm sure you'll understand that when we get a telephone call of this nature, 669 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:42,320 we have to investigate the matter. Isn't that right, Mr. Birch? 670 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,320 Quite right, Inspector. Very commendable. 671 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:45,320 Thank you. 672 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,320 Well, now, do come again. Just drop in any time you feel like it. 673 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:49,320 Thank you, madam. 674 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,320 Elgin. Now, butler. 675 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,320 Thought you were in Maidstone. We came home almost immediately, sir. 676 00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:01,320 Mrs. Elgin wasn't feeling very well. Is there anything the matter? 677 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,320 Someone phoned the police station and said a murder had been committed here. 678 00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:05,320 A murder? 679 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,320 Yes. Do you know anything about it? 680 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,320 No, nothing at all, sir. Nothing. 681 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,320 Wasn't you that made the call, was it? 682 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:12,320 Certainly not, sir. 683 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:13,320 You came in the back door, I suppose? 684 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:14,320 Naturally, sir. 685 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,320 Do you notice anything unusual? 686 00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,320 When I think of it, there's a strange car parked near the stable. 687 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,320 I wondered who it belonged to. It seemed a funny place to leave it. 688 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,320 Go and have a look at it, Jones. 689 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:25,320 Jones? 690 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:26,320 Be your pardon? 691 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,320 Oh, nothing. An unusual name. 692 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:30,320 Go on. 693 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,320 Well, go on. And you too, but don't leave the house. 694 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:39,320 You're not going to be a good place to leave it. 695 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:40,320 You're not going to be a good place to leave it. 696 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:41,320 You're not going to be a good place to leave it. 697 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:42,320 You're not going to be a good place to leave it. 698 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:43,320 You're not going to be a good place to leave it. 699 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:44,320 You're not going to be a good place to leave it. 700 00:38:44,320 --> 00:39:14,300 tonight who's unaccounted for. You weren't expecting anyone? Oh no, just the four of us for Bridge. You haven't lived here very long, have you, Mrs. Oceanbrown? About six weeks. And during that time there's been no funny business of any sort? What do you mean by funny business, Inspector? Well, it's a curious story, sir, but this house used to belong to Mr. Sullen, the antique dealer. He died six months ago. Didn't he have an accident or something? That's right, madam. Fell downstairs. 701 00:39:14,300 --> 00:39:44,280 He landed on his head. Accidental death they brought in. There was no evidence, of course, but rather a dark horse, this Mr. Sullen. What do you mean by that, Inspector? Well, once or twice he'd had a couple of things to explain, as you might say, and the narcotics squad came down and had a chat with him once. It was all only suspicion. Officially, that is to say. Oh yes, sir, officially. Whereas unofficially? I'm afraid we can't mention that, sir. But there was one rather curious circumstance. On Mr. 702 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:56,680 Mr. Sellon's desk was an unfinished letter in which he mentioned that he'd come into possession of something which he described as an unparalleled rarity, and which he would guarantee wasn't a forgery. He was asking £25,000 for it. 703 00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:05,660 £25,000? A lot of money? I wonder what it was. Jewelry, I suppose. But the word forgery. Oh, a picture, perhaps. 704 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:11,040 Possibly, sir. But there was nothing in the shop worth that much money. The insurance inventory made that clear. 705 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:18,020 Oh, Mr. Sellon had a partner, a woman. You know, she had her own business in London. She wrote to us, but she couldn't give us any help. 706 00:40:18,940 --> 00:40:22,420 Inspector, why have you told us all of this? 707 00:40:22,900 --> 00:40:31,020 Well, because, Mrs. Hailsham-Brown, it occurred to me that whatever it was that had been hidden by Mr. Sellon may have been hidden here and not in the shop at Maidstone. 708 00:40:31,900 --> 00:40:34,500 That's why I asked if anything peculiar had come to your notice. 709 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:42,200 Well, somebody rang me today, and when I answered the phone, they hung up. I thought that was a bit odd. 710 00:40:42,980 --> 00:40:47,640 And then yesterday, a couple of men arrived, and they wanted to buy that desk. 711 00:40:47,820 --> 00:40:48,280 That one? 712 00:40:48,740 --> 00:40:52,060 Yes, I told them it wasn't ours, and we couldn't sell it, but they wouldn't listen. 713 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,700 They offered the most terrific amount, much more than it's worth. 714 00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,240 Probably because of the secret drawer. 715 00:40:58,720 --> 00:40:59,420 Secret drawer? 716 00:41:00,140 --> 00:41:03,420 There's nothing very exciting in it, only just some old autographs. 717 00:41:04,140 --> 00:41:04,680 Yes, Jones? 718 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:05,680 I'll examine the car, sir. 719 00:41:06,820 --> 00:41:07,340 And these. 720 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:09,600 Hmm. 721 00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:11,540 Excuse me. 722 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:13,160 May we use that room? 723 00:41:13,260 --> 00:41:13,780 Of course. 724 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:14,480 Thank you, ma'am. 725 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:27,220 Registration book in the name of Oliver Costello, Cromwell Mansions, London, Southwest 3. 726 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:28,360 Ever read of him?

00:56:49,240 You've been a great help, sir. 1232 00:56:49,240 --> 00:56:50,240 You've been a great help, sir. 1233 00:56:50,240 --> 00:56:51,240 You've been a great help, sir. 1234 00:56:51,240 --> 00:56:52,240 You've been a great help, sir. 1235 00:56:52,240 --> 00:56:53,240 You've been a great help, sir. 1236 00:56:53,240 --> 00:56:54,240 You've been a great help, sir. 1237 00:56:54,240 --> 00:56:55,240 You've been a great help, sir. 1238 00:56:55,240 --> 00:56:56,240 You've been a great help, sir. 1239 00:56:56,240 --> 00:56:57,240 You've been a great help, sir. 1240 00:56:57,240 --> 00:56:58,240 You've been a great help, sir. 1241 00:56:58,240 --> 00:56:59,240 You've been a great help, sir. 1242 00:56:59,240 --> 00:57:00,240 You've been a great help, sir. 1243 00:57:00,240 --> 00:57:01,240 You've been a great help, sir. 1244 00:57:01,240 --> 00:57:02,240 You've been a great help, sir. 1245 00:57:02,240 --> 00:57:03,240 You've been a great help, sir. 1246 00:57:03,240 --> 00:57:04,240 You've been a great help, sir. 1247 00:57:04,240 --> 00:57:05,240 You've been a great help, sir. 1248 00:57:05,240 --> 00:57:06,240 You've been a great help, sir. 1249 00:57:06,240 --> 00:57:07,240 You've been a great help, sir. 1250 00:57:07,240 --> 00:57:09,240 Oh, reasonably well, thank you. 1251 00:57:09,240 --> 00:57:10,240 Constable? 1252 00:57:10,240 --> 00:57:11,240 Now, sir, perhaps you'd be kind enough 1253 00:57:11,240 --> 00:57:12,240 to give us your full name and address. 1254 00:57:12,240 --> 00:57:13,240 Yes, of course. 1255 00:57:13,240 --> 00:57:18,240 Jeremy Warrender, 344 Broad Street 1256 00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:21,240 and 34 Grosvenor Square. 1257 00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:23,240 Country Estate, Heppleston, Wiltshire. 1258 00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:25,240 Gentlemen of independent means. 1259 00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:27,240 Well, hardly. 1260 00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:30,240 I'm Private Secretary to Sir Lazarus Stein. 1261 00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:31,240 At least those were his addresses. 1262 00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:32,240 Oh. 1263 00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:34,240 Did you know Oliver Costello, sir? 1264 00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:36,240 Well, I'd heard of him, of course, Inspector, 1265 00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:38,240 but never met him until tonight. 1266 00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:40,240 You didn't see him when he came here earlier this evening? 1267 00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:42,240 No, no, not until after he was, you know. 1268 00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:43,240 Now, I'd gone to the club with the others. 1269 00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:44,240 We were dining there. 1270 00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:45,240 It was the servants' night out 1271 00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:48,240 and Mr. Birch asked us if we'd be his guests at the club. 1272 00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:51,240 Was, er... 1273 00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:54,240 Was Mrs. Eilsham Brown asked as well? 1274 00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:55,240 No. 1275 00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:56,240 No? 1276 00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:59,240 Well, I mean, she could have come, of course, if she'd wanted to. 1277 00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:02,240 Oh, I see. So she was asked, but she refused. 1278 00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:03,240 No, no, she didn't refuse. 1279 00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:04,240 I don't think you've got the idea. 1280 00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:07,240 The thing is, you see, her husband is rather late getting down here at night, 1281 00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:11,240 and, well, in that case, they generally have a scratch meal at home. 1282 00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:15,240 I see. So Mrs. Eilsham Brown was expecting her husband to dine here tonight. 1283 00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:19,240 Do you know if she was expecting him to go out again as soon as he came in? 1284 00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:21,240 Now, look here, Inspector, I really don't know what she expects. 1285 00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:27,240 Seems very odd to me that Mrs. Eilsham Brown should... should not go down to the club, 1286 00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:30,240 instead of remaining here and dining all by herself. 1287 00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:32,240 Well, you know you are forgetting that there's the child, Pippa. 1288 00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:34,240 I mean, she wouldn't want to leave her in the house by herself. 1289 00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:38,240 Unless, of course, she was preparing to receive a visitor of her own. 1290 00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:42,240 It's a very unpleasant thing to say, Inspector, and I'm quite sure it isn't true. 1291 00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:47,240 Now, look, sir, Costello came here to meet someone. 1292 00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:50,240 The servants are all out. Miss Peekers are on cottage. 1293 00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:54,240 There really was no one else he could have met except Mrs. Eilsham Brown. 1294 00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:57,240 Was there? Hmm? What? Oh, well, I really don't know. 1295 00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:00,240 Look, Inspector, all I can say is why not ask Mrs. Eilsham Brown? 1296 00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:02,240 I have done, sir. 1297 00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:06,240 Now, perhaps you'll tell me how you happened to come back here from the club. 1298 00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:09,240 Was that the original plan? Yes. I mean, no. 1299 00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:10,240 Which do you mean? 1300 00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:13,240 Well, look, Inspector, it went like this. We all went to the club together. 1301 00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:17,240 Rowley and Hugo went into dinner, and I went out and had a bit of practice on the putting green. 1302 00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:20,240 Later, when I rejoined them, somebody suggested bridge. 1303 00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:23,240 I said, "That's a splendid idea. Let's go back to the house and play." 1304 00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:25,240 So we did. So it was your idea. 1305 00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:28,240 I don't know whose idea it was. Hugo Purches, I think. 1306 00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:30,240 And you're right back here when, sir? 1307 00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:33,240 I can't say exactly. I suppose we left the club shorter before eight. 1308 00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:36,240 It was a five minutes' walk. And you played bridge? 1309 00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:37,240 Yes. 1310 00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:41,240 It was about, er, about 20 minutes before my arrival. 1311 00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:51,240 Surely you didn't have time to play two rubbers and begin a third. 1312 00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:54,240 Oh, no, no. That first rubber must have been yesterday's score, yes. 1313 00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:56,240 But only one person seems to have scored. 1314 00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:59,240 Surely four people score in a bridge game. 1315 00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:04,240 Yes, yes, I realise that. But I'm afraid we were a bit lazy about it and left it to Clarissa. 1316 01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:11,240 Did you know about the passageway between this room and the library? 1317 01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:12,240 You mean the place where they found the body? 1318 01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:13,240 Yes, that's what I mean. 1319 01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:14,240 Oh, I had no idea. 1320 01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:17,240 Absolutely fantastic bit of camouflage. I mean, you'd never guess, would you now? 1321 01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:21,240 Oh, no, not in a thousand years. I mean, you couldn't know there was a body in there, could you? 1322 01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:23,240 No, you could have knocked me over with a feather, as the saying goes. 1323 01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:27,240 I mean, absolute blood and thunder melodrama. I couldn't really believe my eyes. 1324 01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:31,240 Are these your gloves, Mr. Wanda? 1325 01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:32,240 No. 1326 01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:33,240 Oh, wait a minute. 1327 01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:35,240 Yes. Oh, yes, yes. Yes, they're mine, Inspector. 1328 01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:37,240 In fact, you wore them when you came back from the golf club. 1329 01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:39,240 That's right, yes. A bit of a nip in the air, you know. 1330 01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:43,240 I think you're mistaken. These have got Mr. Hailsham Brown's initials in them. 1331 01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:48,240 Well, you know, I mean, I've got a pair just like that. These, perhaps? 1332 01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:50,240 Oh, no, you don't catch me a second time. Not with that one. No, no. 1333 01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:53,240 I mean, you keep on showing me pairs of gloves. I don't know one from the other now, do I? 1334 01:00:53,240 --> 01:01:00,240 Three pairs of gloves, and yes, all with Mr. Hailsham Brown's initials in them. Curious. Very curious indeed. 1335 01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:02,240 Thank you, Mr. Wanda. That's all for now. 1336 01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:05,240 I hope you're not suggesting that I... Suggesting what? 1337 01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:07,240 No, no, no. Nothing, nothing, Inspector. 1338 01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:09,240 Oh, excuse me, sir. What's that? 1339 01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:10,240 Mr. Please, sir. Oh, of course. 1340 01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:22,240 Well, sir, what do you make of that, then? Elementary, my dear Watson. 1341 01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:26,240 Pass me the wazoo, John. Yes, sir. 1342 01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:32,240 Ah, let's see. Stein, Stein, L.M.L.P. Q.R. S.S.T. 1343 01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:39,240 Stein, Sir Lazarus. Chairman, Saxon-Arabian Oil Company, Gulf Petroleum Company. 1344 01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:44,240 Clubs, all those many... Recreations, Philately, Stamp Collection. 1345 01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:49,240 Golf Fishing, address 340 Broad Street, 34 Grosvenor Square. That's it. 1346 01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:51,240 What's that? It's a card, sir. 1347 01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:53,240 I can see it's a card. Where'd you get it? 1348 01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:56,240 Doesn't it, sir? Let's have a look. 1349 01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:58,240 It's a space. Blue. 1350 01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:11,240 What's that? Same pack. Come on, John. See if you can find it. 1351 01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:18,240 No ace of spades there. Remarkable, John. Quite remarkable. 1352 01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:21,240 Yes, sir. Remarkable. 1353 01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:22,240 All right. Get Delahaye. 1354 01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:24,240 Sir Ronald Delahaye, sir? 1355 01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:25,240 Yes. 1356 01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:29,240 The Inspector caught me on the bridge alley by all right. 1357 01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:32,240 And he found the gloves, too. I'm afraid I made an awful mess of things. 1358 01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:34,240 I knew it was all wrong, damn it. 1359 01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:37,240 We're sinking lower and lower into the blinking quicksand. 1360 01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:42,240 Now, I'd like to discuss the case with you, if I may, sir. 1361 01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:45,240 How very agreeable of you, Inspector. 1362 01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:47,240 Thank you, Sir Roland. 1363 01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:51,240 Now, you gentlemen were at the club eating a cold supper. 1364 01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:52,240 That's right. 1365 01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:54,240 And while we were at the table, Mrs. Hailsham Brown rang up to say that, 1366 01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:56,240 as our husband was going out unexpectedly, 1367 01:02:56,240 --> 01:03:00,240 it might be a good idea if the three of us came over here to make a four for bridge. 1368 01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:01,240 which we did. 1369 01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:06,240 And we'd been playing about twenty minutes or so when you turned up. 1370 01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:07,240 The rest you know. 1371 01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:11,240 Well, that's not quite Mr. Warner's account of the matter, sir. 1372 01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:12,240 Oh, isn't it? 1373 01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:14,240 What does he say, sir? 1374 01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:17,240 Well, he said that the suggestion to come back here and play bridge came from one of you three. 1375 01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:19,240 Mr. Birch, he thought. 1376 01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:24,240 Well, Inspector, you know as well as anybody that two people's account of the same thing seldom agrees. 1377 01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:31,240 In fact, if three people were to agree exactly, I should regard it as suspicious. 1378 01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:33,240 Very suspicious. 1379 01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:37,240 Yes, yes, that's true, sir. 1380 01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:43,240 Now, sir, I think that Mr. Costello came here to visit a particular person. 1381 01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:47,240 That could have been anyone except Mr. Birch, who doesn't live here. 1382 01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:51,240 You had, uh... 1383 01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:56,240 You had no reason for wishing to murder him had you, sir? 1384 01:03:57,240 --> 01:03:59,240 Is that an accusation, Inspector? 1385 01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:03,240 Oh, no, no, sir, no. It's more, uh, more an elimination. 1386 01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:04,240 Oh, I see. 1387 01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:06,240 How well did you know Mr. Warner, sir? 1388 01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:10,240 Oh, I met him here a couple of days ago. He's a friend of the Halesham Browns. 1389 01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:12,240 Seems a decent enough fellow. 1390 01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:14,240 Well, so much for Mr. Warner. 1391 01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:16,240 Which brings me to my next question. 1392 01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:18,240 How well do I know the Halesham Browns?

1412 01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:07,240 Oh, I don't know, sir. 1413 01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:08,240 That'll come out later, no doubt. 1414 01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:11,240 But Mrs. Halesham Brown is a gay, young and attractive lady. 1415 01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:14,240 Costello was attractive to the ladies, so they say. 1416 01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:18,240 Inspector, don't you think you're entirely on the wrong track? 1417 01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:21,240 Why are you so certain Costello came here to see a person? 1418 01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:23,240 Why couldn't it have been a place? 1419 01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:24,240 What do you mean, sir?

1433 01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:05,240 Exactly. 1434 01:06:05,240 --> 01:06:08,240 It'd have to be someone that knew the secret place. 1435 01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:10,240 Someone who knew the house in Sellon's time? 1436 01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:11,240 Yes. 1437 01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:12,240 No. 1438 01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:13,240 No, sir. 1439 01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:14,240 Nope. 1440 01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:17,240 That doesn't explain why Mrs. Aylsham Brown tried to prevent us looking in there. 1441 01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:19,240 She knew the body was in there. 1442 01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:23,240 Will you allow me to speak to my ward?

1475 01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:22,240 Yes, you see, Henry is collecting a very important diplomat 1476 01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:24,240 from abroad of Mr Jones. 1477 01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:26,240 Go on. 1478 01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:28,240 Then I returned in here and practically fell over the body, 1479 01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:31,240 recognised it as Oliver Costello and didn't know what to do. 1480 01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:33,240 Didn't it occur to you to find the place? 1481 01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:36,240 Yes, but I didn't think it would be very nice for Henry. 1482 01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:38,240 I see. 1483 01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:40,240 Well, I'm glad you understand, 1484 01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:42,240 because the body was absolutely dead. 1485 01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:44,240 there was nothing I could do about it. 1486 01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:46,240 And I thought it might as well be lying dead in Marsden Wood, 1487 01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:47,240 as in my drawing room. 1488 01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:49,240 How does Marsden Wood come into this? 1489 01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:51,240 Well, that was there where I was thinking of dumping it. 1490 01:07:51,240 --> 01:07:52,240 Only there wasn't time. 1491 01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:53,240 I see. 1492 01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:56,240 So you persuaded the three men to hide it in the recess? 1493 01:07:56,240 --> 01:07:58,240 Yes, it was very helpful of them, don't you think? 1494 01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:00,240 I don't believe a word of it. 1495 01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:03,240 There's only one reason why those three men would agree to tell a lie. 1496 01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:04,240 And what could that be? 1497 01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:07,240 If they believed or knew that you'd killed him. 1498 01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:10,240 Oh, very well. 1499 01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:14,240 I shall tell you the truth. 1500 01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:16,240 I think that would be wiser, madam. 1501 01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:24,240 I went into the kitchen to make the sandwiches for Henry and Mr Jones's return. 1502 01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:27,240 And I thought I heard very strange noises. 1503 01:08:27,240 --> 01:08:29,240 I was petrified. 1504 01:08:29,240 --> 01:08:32,240 I walked back through the hall with my sandwiches. 1505 01:08:32,240 --> 01:08:34,240 And I really did hear something. 1506 01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:35,240 Where? 1507 01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:36,240 In here. 1508 01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:37,240 Go on. 1509 01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:38,240 So I went to the hall stand. 1510 01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:40,240 And I got that heavy stick. 1511 01:08:40,240 --> 01:08:43,240 And I took it with me into the library. 1512 01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:45,240 And got into the recess that side. 1513 01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:47,240 So that you could see what was going on in here. 1514 01:08:47,240 --> 01:08:48,240 Exactly. 1515 01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:50,240 Then I pressed the button. 1516 01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:52,240 And there was a man standing. 1517 01:08:52,240 --> 01:08:54,240 Holding something bright and shining. 1518 01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:56,240 I thought it was a revolver. 1519 01:08:56,240 --> 01:08:57,240 I thought he was going to shoot me. 1520 01:08:57,240 --> 01:08:59,240 So I hit him with all my might. 1521 01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:02,240 Is it all right? 1522 01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:04,240 Yeah, fine. 1523 01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:05,240 Come on. 1524 01:09:05,240 --> 01:09:06,240 He fell. 1525 01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:08,240 It was Oliver Costello. 1526 01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:09,240 He was dead. 1527 01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:13,240 I was so frightened I rang the golf club. 1528 01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:17,240 They came over and I begged them to take the body somewhere. 1529 01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:18,240 But why? 1530 01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:19,240 Publicity. 1531 01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:20,240 My husband, his career. 1532 01:09:20,240 --> 01:09:25,240 I would have gone through with it if it hadn't been someone we actually knew. 1533 01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:28,240 And on top of that, Costello had been trying to blackmail you. 1534 01:09:28,240 --> 01:09:29,240 Blackmail? 1535 01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:30,240 Yes. 1536 01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:31,240 Well, that's silly. 1537 01:09:31,240 --> 01:09:33,240 But Elgin the butler overheard some talk about blackmail. 1538 01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:34,240 Elgin? 1539 01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:35,240 Yes. 1540 01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:36,240 Oh, of course. 1541 01:09:36,240 --> 01:09:37,240 Yes. 1542 01:09:37,240 --> 01:09:38,240 That was it. 1543 01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:39,240 That was what? 1544 01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:44,240 Well, you see, Oliver Costello heard that we were only paying ten guineas a week for this house furnished. 1545 01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:53,240 And he said to me, "Well, you must have some pull or is it blackmail?" And I said, "That's it. Blackmail." And that's what Elgin overheard." 1546 01:09:55,240 --> 01:10:04,240 Mrs. Elgin Browne, I hope you won't mind my saying this, but I find it very difficult to believe that you're only paying ten guineas a week for Cobblestone Court. 1547 01:10:04,240 --> 01:10:16,240 But then you don't believe anything I say. Now, I can't prove the other things, but I can prove this one. Here we are. Ten guineas a week furnished tenancy. 1548 01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:23,240 You're absolutely right. But this is extraordinary. Because I knew the estate was asking 50 guineas a week before you took it over. 1549 01:10:23,240 --> 01:10:26,240 Well, now, perhaps you'll believe some of the other things I've said. 1550 01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:33,240 Oh, I'm not doubting your final story, madam. We generally recognise the truth when we hear it. 1551 01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:36,240 Well, Inspector, everything all right? 1552 01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:46,240 Roley, I've told the Inspector everything. How I hit the man on the top of the head, and when I realised it was Costello, I thought it'd be much cosier in Marsdenwood. 1553 01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:48,240 Clarissa, what on earth have you been saying? 1554 01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:52,240 Oh, it's all right, sir. Mrs. Elgin Browne made a very false statement. 1555 01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:55,240 So it seems... It was the only thing to do. 1556 01:10:55,240 --> 01:11:00,240 Now, Mrs. Elgin Browne, perhaps you'll show me exactly where the man was standing when you came through that way. 1557 01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:02,240 Of course. 1558 01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:05,240 Jones? 1559 01:11:09,240 --> 01:11:12,240 Yes, I think he was standing about here. 1560 01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:19,240 I see. All right, Jones. Then the panel went back. You came through. It's gone. 1561 01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:22,240 The body. The body! The body's gone. 1562 01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:23,240 Yes. 1563 01:11:23,240 --> 01:11:24,240 What's this? 1564 01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:27,240 April Fool. 1565 01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:30,240 Jones! 1566 01:11:34,240 --> 01:11:35,240 What's happened to the body? 1567 01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:39,240 I don't know. Anyhow, it proves one thing. Costello opened this secret drawer. 1568 01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:41,240 Why didn't you tell the Inspector the truth? 1569 01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:44,240 I did tell him the truth, all except the bit about Peppa. He didn't believe me. 1570 01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:46,240 Then why did you stuff him up with all that nonsense? 1571 01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:47,240 Because he believed that. 1572 01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:50,240 You know, you're in a dickens of a jam. This could be manslaughter. 1573 01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:51,240 Self-defence. 1574 01:11:53,240 --> 01:11:58,240 This is the end of your pranks. I've had all I can take. I'm going to search Elgin Browne and tear the place apart. 1575 01:11:59,240 --> 01:12:03,240 And when I find the body, I'm going to charge a whole lot of you with impeding the investigation of a murder. 1576 01:12:03,240 --> 01:12:18,240 Well? Oh, Dr. Berry. Sorry I'm late. Well, where's the body? 1577 01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:23,240 Well, there was a body, but it seems to have vanished. 1578 01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:26,240 Do you mean to say you've brought me out here in a wild goose chase? 1579 01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:28,240 Really, Inspector? 1580 01:12:28,240 --> 01:12:30,240 There was a body. Wasn't there? 1581 01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:32,240 Yes, sir. 1582 01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:35,240 You didn't get jumpy. You know, I've been telling you you needed a rest. 1583 01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:38,240 I do not need a rest. Now, look, there was a body and I saw it. 1584 01:12:39,240 --> 01:12:43,240 Well, it doesn't seem to be here now. The best thing we can do is to go back to headquarters. 1585 01:12:44,240 --> 01:12:46,240 Yeah, I suppose so. 1586 01:12:46,240 --> 01:12:49,240 Good night, Inspector. Good night. 1587 01:12:51,240 --> 01:12:53,240 Go and search the kitchen quarters. 1588 01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:56,240 And take this. Go on, get a move on. 1589 01:12:57,240 --> 01:12:58,240 Yes, sir. 1590 01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:01,240 Thank you, gentlemen. 1591 01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:04,240 Don't worry. I'll find it. 1592 01:13:11,240 --> 01:13:13,240 Excuse me, I'm going to lie down. 1593 01:13:13,240 --> 01:13:15,240 Is it true? What? About the body? 1594 01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:16,240 Yes, it's disappeared. 1595 01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:17,240 Who took it? 1596 01:13:17,240 --> 01:13:18,240 Don't ask me. Where's that peak woman? 1597 01:13:18,240 --> 01:13:19,240 In the gun room. 1598 01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:20,240 Right. 1599 01:13:29,240 --> 01:13:30,240 What are you doing up here? 1600 01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:31,240 I'm just going to have a lie down. 1601 01:13:32,240 --> 01:13:35,240 Well, I suggest you use this room. We still have more searching to do. 1602 01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:36,240 I can't. That's Sir Rowland's room. 1603 01:13:36,240 --> 01:13:38,240 Madam, if you don't mind. 1604 01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:40,240 Don't mind. 1605 01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:42,240 I'm sorry. 1606 01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:44,240 I'm sorry. 1607 01:13:44,240 --> 01:14:14,220 I'm sorry. 1608 01:14:14,220 --> 01:14:44,200 I'm sorry. 1609 01:14:44,200 --> 01:14:44,520 Yes. 1610 01:14:44,820 --> 01:14:46,980 I thought it was such a good hiding place. 1611 01:14:47,780 --> 01:14:49,100 You mean you put it there? 1612 01:14:49,780 --> 01:14:50,260 Yes. 1613 01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:52,200 Is the inspector livid? 1614 01:14:52,480 --> 01:14:53,040 No, no. 1615 01:14:53,060 --> 01:14:54,260 He's just having hysterics. 1616 01:14:54,400 --> 01:14:55,100 Oh, good. 1617 01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:56,800 Miss Peake. 1618 01:14:57,580 --> 01:14:58,700 Why did you take it? 1619 01:14:59,600 --> 01:15:03,280 Because you've got to have a body before they can charge you with murder. 1620 01:15:03,500 --> 01:15:04,400 But she didn't kill him. 1621 01:15:04,620 --> 01:15:05,860 Well, if she didn't kill him, who did? 1622 01:15:06,040 --> 01:15:08,320 And in the meantime, the body remains in my bed. 1623 01:15:08,520 --> 01:15:09,780 Only for 24 hours. 1624 01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:10,960 Oh, thank you very much. 1625 01:15:11,460 --> 01:15:13,840 Now, you know, I've been doing a bit of thinking. 1626 01:15:14,800 --> 01:15:17,880 I dug a deep trench for the sweet peas this morning. 1627 01:15:18,580 --> 01:15:22,180 Look, we could bury the body in it and then plant the sweet peas on top. 1628 01:15:23,460 --> 01:15:26,320 They should do very well. Yes, I think so. 1629 01:15:27,140 --> 01:15:30,860 Now, the point is, who killed Costello? 1630 01:15:33,740 --> 01:15:35,740 Clarissa? 1631 01:15:35,780 --> 01:15:38,500 Peppa, why are you out of bed? 1632 01:15:38,540 --> 01:15:41,580 Well, I heard men talking, so I thought I'd come down. 1633 01:15:41,620 --> 01:15:44,220 Besides, I thought it might be true. 1634 01:15:44,260 --> 01:15:47,260 What might be true? The horrible dream about Oliver. 1635 01:15:47,300 --> 01:15:52,180 Oliver? What dream about Oliver? Tell me. 1636 01:15:52,220 --> 01:15:56,220 Well, I made this tonight. I melted down a wax candle. 1637 01:15:56,260 --> 01:16:00,220 I stuck a red-hot pin through it. I said the right words and everything. 1638 01:16:00,260 --> 01:16:03,140 But I couldn't do it quite as the book said. The book? 1639 01:16:03,180 --> 01:16:07,260 She showed it to me earlier, Clarissa. Something she'd bought at the second-hand bookstore. 1640 01:16:07,300 --> 01:16:10,260 Called it a recipe book, I believe. That's right. 1641 01:16:10,300 --> 01:16:15,580 It gives a hundred well-tried and trusty spells. It tells you how to destroy your enemy. 1642 01:16:16,620 --> 01:16:20,940 Is that what you did? Yes. It wasn't very like Oliver. 1643 01:16:20,980 --> 01:16:35,900 I couldn't get any cuttings of his hair. But it was as like him as I could make it. And then... I dreamed. Thought I came downstairs. He was there. Is it true? Did I kill him? 1644 01:16:35,940 --> 01:16:43,980 No, darling. No. But I came down. I came downstairs and I saw him dead. Yes, dear, but you didn't kill him. Somebody hit him over the head with a big stick. 1645 01:16:44,020 --> 01:16:51,020 You mean a... a golf club like Jeremy had. No, no, Pippa. Not a golf club. He means the big stick that's kept in the hall stand. 1646 01:16:51,060 --> 01:16:56,980 Oh, no. I didn't do that. I couldn't. I wouldn't have killed him, really. Of course not, darling. 1647 01:16:57,020 --> 01:17:05,940 What a fool I've been. I should have realised it was impossible. But Pippa told me she'd killed Oliver and I thought it was true. 1648 01:17:05,980 --> 01:17:11,980 You mean you thought it was Pippa? Yes, darling, yes. I see. That explains a lot, doesn't it? Yes. 1649 01:17:12,020 --> 01:17:16,980 Now I understand why you agreed to help her, Rowley. But hadn't we better tell the police about this latest development? 1650 01:17:17,020 --> 01:17:27,020 I don't know. She's told the police three stories already. Well, I feel like a cuppa. So do I. Join me? Thanks. I do it when I do. 1651 01:17:27,060 --> 01:17:38,020 I'm parched. After you? No, after you. Oh, well, just as you like. Well, darling, it's time you went back to bed. I'll take you up there. Come on. 1652 01:17:38,060 --> 01:17:54,060 Come on. Well, Clarissa? I'm so relieved I can hardly speak. But who was the real murderer? Oh, heaven knows. I should leave that one to the police. 1653 01:17:54,100 --> 01:18:04,060 But who phoned the police? Probably one of Costello's cronies. Why did Costello search the desk? And what about Miss Pippe? Why did she really move the body? 1654 01:18:04,100 --> 01:18:20,100 She probably wanted the exercise. Do you think she was trying to help me? And what is a woman like that doing as a gardener here? The way she fusses about this house, anybody would think she owned it. I've got an idea. 1655 01:18:20,140 --> 01:18:27,100 What? What was the name of Mr. Sellins' antique shop? Wait a minute. I can't remember. 1656 01:18:27,140 --> 01:18:37,140 Broly might know. Come on. Yes. Broly. What was the name of Sellins' antique shop? Oh, it had a double name. Sellins' sellin' sellin' brown. 1657 01:18:37,180 --> 01:18:46,140 That's it? Sellin' brown. And our name is Hailsham brown. And we got this place dirt cheap. Follow me? No. I'm lost. 1658 01:18:46,180 --> 01:18:55,140 Well, Sellins' partner is a woman and she lives in London. Today we had a telephone call. Somebody asking to speak to a Mrs. Brown. Not a Mrs. Hailsham brown. Just a Mrs. Brown. 1659 01:18:55,180 --> 01:19:04,180 Today, somebody murdered Oliver. Now, it wasn't Henry and it wasn't Hugo and it wasn't any of us and it wasn't Pippa, thank heaven. Who was it? 1660 01:19:04,220 --> 01:19:20,220 It's as I told the inspector. It's an outside job. Somebody followed Oliver here. Why should they? He didn't expect to see me here. He thought this house belonged to somebody else. He was expecting to meet Mrs. Brown, Sellins' partner. 1661 01:19:20,220 --> 01:19:24,220 But wouldn't he know that you and Henry had the house? Wouldn't Miranda know? 1662 01:19:24,220 --> 01:19:35,220 Miranda communicates through her lawyers. No. Oliver was surprised to see me. That's why he made the excuse about Pippa. Then he pretended to go away, but he came back. 1663 01:19:35,220 --> 01:19:54,880 Peaks Cottage. Peaks Cottage. And what precisely are you doing? I'm looking for 1664 01:19:54,880 --> 01:20:03,680 something. Oh no no no you could be arrested for that you know. It's not half as bad as being a murderer. A murderer? Look let's get out of here quickly shall we? It's all right. I found it. 1665 01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:33,220 Found what? I'm sorry Miss Peake but I had to know. Had to know? Your real name and now I know it. Correspondence in the name of Brown. You're Mrs. Brown aren't you? Yes I'm Mrs. Brown. Selen's partner and you own Copleston Court. You inherited it with the business. You tried to find a tenant with the name of Brown but you settled for Hailsham Brown. True. 1666 01:20:33,220 --> 01:20:54,100 Yes, quite true. Look, Charles Selham was murdered. He discovered something very valuable. I don't know how, I don't even know what. Whoever killed him found nothing. Probably because it wasn't in the shop, it was here at Cobblestone Court. 1667 01:20:55,460 --> 01:21:24,060 I felt sure the murderer would return sooner or later, so I wanted to keep watch. But to do that, I had to have a dummy Mrs. Brown. It didn't worry you that a perfectly innocent woman, Mrs. Hailsham Brown, would be in danger? I'm sorry, I never thought of that. But yesterday, when those men came and offered that ridiculous price for that desk, I knew I was on the right track. But I swear there's nothing of value in that desk. 1668 01:21:24,060 --> 01:21:38,520 Did you examine the secret drawer? Secret drawer? No. Why, is there one? Pepper found one, but there was nothing in it, just a few old autographs. Clarissa, I'd rather like to see those autographs again. I suggest we go back to the house at once. Go on! 1669 01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:39,220 Oh, yes! 1670 01:21:42,020 --> 01:21:50,460 What do you mean the woman's real name is Brown? I'll tell you later. Clarissa, where are those autographs? In that box, the shell one. Oh, yes. 1671 01:21:51,940 --> 01:22:07,100 Ah, thank you, I'll tell you later. Thanks. Now, then, let's have a look. Victoria Regina, God bless her. Faded brown ink, John Ruskin. Seems authentic. Robert Browning. The paper's not as old as it ought to be. 1672 01:22:07,780 --> 01:22:17,780 What do you mean? During the war, I was in the Foreign Office and I had some experience with invisible ink. But what could Charles Sellern have written in invisible ink that's worth 25,000 pounds? 1673 01:22:17,860 --> 01:22:31,900 Nothing at all, dear lady. But it's occurred to me it might be a question of safety. Safety? Costello was suspected of supplying drugs. Sellern, so the inspector tells us, was questioned several times by the narcotic squad. There's a connection there, don't you think? 1674 01:22:31,900 --> 01:22:47,740 Of course, it may be just a foolish fancy of mine, but it occurs to me that Sellern may have written something on this paper in invisible ink. Shall we try a little experiment? How? Just a little gentle heat. Let's go into the kitchen. 1675 01:22:50,320 --> 01:23:14,440 I can't bear it if nothing happens. Oh, you mustn't expect too much. Hello? Hello? Here we are. Yes, it's writing. We've got it. What is it? A list of one, two, three, four, five, six names and addresses. Distributors in the drug racket, I should say. And one of the names is Oliver Costello. 1676 01:23:14,920 --> 01:23:25,920 That's why he came here to get this. And somebody must have followed him. And killed him. Extraordinary. What do you think about it, Jeremy? Well, I don't really know what to say, Rowley. It seems a little... 1677 01:23:25,920 --> 01:23:33,200 Inspector Lord would like to see you all again in the drawing room, please. With pleasure! Excuse me. Thank you all. 1678 01:23:37,920 --> 01:23:39,920 If you'd like to wait here a moment, the inspector won't keep you long. 1679 01:24:04,920 --> 01:24:06,920 Jeremy! 1680 01:24:06,920 --> 01:24:06,920 Jeremy! 1681 01:24:10,920 --> 01:24:17,920 Why? Hello, Clarissa. Oh, I wouldn't advise you to call out. It might be dangerous. 1682 01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:26,920 Do you know that never in all my supposings did I dream that you were the murderer? 1683 01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:27,920 Didn't you, Clarissa? 1684 01:24:28,920 --> 01:24:31,920 You came back from the club and killed Oliver Costello. 1685 01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:36,920 Peppa was right. She actually saw you carrying the stick. Only it wasn't your golf stick. 1686 01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:38,920 Now be quiet. Come away from the door. 1687 01:24:40,920 --> 01:24:43,920 No, you're quite right. It wasn't my golf club. 1688 01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:46,920 Why did you do it, Jeremy? 1689 01:24:47,920 --> 01:24:48,920 Because of this. 1690 01:24:48,920 --> 01:24:49,920 An envelope? 1691 01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:50,920 Yes, yes. 1692 01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:53,920 But the stamp on it is worth 25,000 pounds. 1693 01:24:54,920 --> 01:24:56,920 Here. Where's Jeremy?
