Come to Bright for happy hours of

glorious sunshine,

fun, jolly, gay.

>> [music]

>> You know, do you think they had the

foresight to oil that sign for the

summer season?

>> Never mind. Tomorrow's forecast says

bright, sunny intervals.

>> Yeah, when we pop out, the sun pops in.

>> Well, you must admit it's bracing

weather. All right, eh? Come on. Come on

for a walk.

>> What's the use? If you go against the

wind, you mark time. If you go with the

wind, you fall flat on your

>> 12 solid days you've been here. All like

this.

>> Oh, last Thursday afternoon was fine.

>> You know, it's all your fault. If you

hadn't painted such a glamorous picture

of this place, I'd be basking on the

beach at Jan Le Pong.

>> At a terrible expense.

>> One thing I've been spared the sight of

you in a bathing suit.

Oh, I'll hit it. A policeman's holiday.

H what's up?

>> Might hear you.

>> What of it?

>> Well, we want to preserve our incognito.

If they found out that you were

inspected, you know, well, might start

something.

>> Hello? Somebody coming in?

>> Oh, it's only Captain Freezer.

>> Oh dear.

>> What about a rousing game of ludo?

Splendid.

>> Oh, they're using the board.

>> All right, snooker. Table's free.

>> Hello everybody. Hello. Gosh, what a

win. Marvelous. Come along on point.

There we are. Now then, feed her. How

about my little tot?

>> And no water.

>> Oh, you know my habits, don't you, dear?

>> Cat.

>> I say there's a dig of a fug in here.

I'll open a window. Nobody minds.

>> We'll do nothing as a soft captain

freezer. We are not all robust seafaring

persons.

>> Sorry, no offense. I'm sure a little

breeze never harmed anybody, you know.

>> What are we having on this?

>> Well, if you if you give me four blacks,

I'll consider a hat for you.

>> Well, don't you let your spirit of

adventure run away with you, would you?

>> I can't understand how you fellow stop

indoors on a wonderful day like this.

>> Here's your arm, Captain.

>> Ah, thank you, my pet. Well, down the

hatch.

>> It's your heal. All right.

>> Yes. I've been standing at the end of

the pier getting some of this wind in my

teeth. Cigarette.

>> No, thank you.

>> Takes me back to the good old days on

shipboard, battling up to the roaring

40s.

>> Wind heavens. No, one of his managers

destroyed.

>> You go.

>> Excuse me. H, fret. You've got the green

and the yellow the wrong way around.

>> The green goes on star.

Ah,

>> oh well. My mistake.

Oh dear. No, no, don't don't waggle your

elbow about like that.

Keep it steady. Look. No, no. Let let me

show you. Will you? Excuse me a minute.

No.

You want to take long even strokes like

that. See, don't snatch at it. This is

what you were doing. Follow. I see.

>> I see you, Chance. What about making a

threesome of this? Eh, much more fun

really. If you like. Well, uh, pipe up a

corner. What do you say?

>> Oh, here. Snooker is not exactly my

game. [laughter]

>> Come, come. I've heard that story

before. Nothing. Come on, Bigum.

Oh, me I'm afraid. Well, here we go.

Excuse me.

Through a fluke, I'm afraid.

>> Hope so. Here along yourself, Captain

Fraser?

>> Oh, I don't know. I generally hop about

from one seaside place to the other, you

know. I'll uh I'll take the blue.

The sailor home from the sea, as the

poet had it, he's seldom happy if he's

not in sight of the briney.

Six.

>> You two fells down here together, eh?

>> Mhm.

>> Mhm.

Seven.

I think I can take the pink.

How's the guy reason so much jolly for

all concerned you

19.

And now I pick the black.

>> Captain Fraser.

>> Yes, my dear.

>> There's a call for you from Dormouth

says it's urgent. A gentleman by the

name of Mr. Bradfield.

>> Bradfield?

>> Yes. He's holding the line.

>> Oh, I'm sorry fellas. I'm afraid I got

to leave you. I carry on, will you?

About time, too.

What do you make of the captain? What do

I make of him?

>> The man's obviously an unprincipled

shark. Five shins a corner. But thanks

to Mr. Bradfield, I have a chance to

retrieve the position.

>> If you ask me, this Bradfield man seems

to be a bit of a donor. Do you notice

how the mention of his name puts off his

stroke? I'm

>> pretty sure I'd mentioned it sooner. 19.

All right.

>> Oh, Peter, get my coat, will you?

I say I I've got to go out. We'll have

to finish his gaze another time. I got

to run over to Dormouth

>> for this evening.

>> Yes.

Matter of fact, it's a old friend of

mine who's been taken ill rather

suddenly.

>> Hope it's not serious.

>> Well, it doesn't sound too good.

It's um it's my old commander.

>> Oh, he's a fine chef. In bleeded out

after the Zebra show. I've uh I've

driven over to see him once, twice.

Oh, there's hope for the best. It's uh

rather knocked me over, you know. I'll

see you later.

>> Wap's taking it rather badly.

>> I wonder why. His friend wasn't too ill

to speak on the phone.

H

yes.

>> Can you not forget your profession just

for 5 minutes and stop behaving like a

prize blood hound until you could have a

better holiday at Scotland Yard?

>> So could I.

A

>> retired naval officer driving off to

visit his old commander. How very

sinister. Why don't you rest him?

>> Yeah, I thought you hadn't noticed

anything.

>> Well, I noticed he had the good sense to

be enjoying his holiday. Do you remember

when he changed the yellow for the

green?

>> I'm just not interested.

>> Now I'm the sort of bloke who's seasick

when he looks at the serpentine,

>> but I know the difference between port

and starboard. And Captain Fraser, later

the Royal Navy, does not

dinner.

Heat.

Heat.

Is there a gentleman of the name of

Captain Edwin Fraser staying here?

>> That's right. And he's gone to Dormouth.

He'll be back late tonight.

>> I'm afraid he won't. We just found his

body at the bottom of Blackham Cliff.

>> Captain Fraser? You mean he's

>> Now they know his stills. Keep your

head.

>> Oh, Captain Fraser's body's been found

dead AT THE BOTTOM OF BLACK CLIFF.

>> IT'S TRUE. HE'S DEAD.

>> NOW, NOW, no need to get excited.

>> This is true.

>> It is. Nasty accident. Went clean over

the cliff in his car.

>> Oh dear. He always said he wanted to die

at sea.

>> He nearly did, but the tide was out.

>> I think I'm going to say no. I smell

something there.

>> Any collection of Captain Fraser

presents?

>> No, he was staying alone.

>> Then I must ask one of you people to

come along with me and identify the

body.

>> It won't be a pleasant job.

>> Poor fellow.

>> Well, it's it's no business of ours.

>> You must have known him.

>> Oh, no. I couldn't. Really, I couldn't.

>> It's good to be somebody. Now, who spoke

to him last?

>> Those two gentlemen. That's right. Those

two gentlemen were playing billions with

him. and deny everything.

>> Is what this young lady says correct?

>> Speak a pardon?

>> That's quite correct, Sergeant. Ah, are

you two gentlemen willing to identify

the body?

>> Well, if you want us to, then I must ask

you to come with me to the station.

>> I'll get you that. Um, as much as I

dislike it, officer, I think I should

tell you Captain Fraser consumed a large

round before leaving.

>> Thank you, madam. We shall probably call

on you later. Ready, you two? Go on.

Well, I might as well tell you it won't

be a pretty sight.

>> Ever seen a corpse before?

>> One or two?

>> He seen dozens. So have I.

>> Undertakers, eh?

>> That's right. Undertakers.

>> Well, play your cards right and you

might get the job.

>> Spend it. Hear that, Bingham?

>> Uh-huh.

>> He must have shot clean past the loot

way turn and through the barrier.

>> I suppose he couldn't stop, sir. Or lost

his head.

>> Yes.

Tricky pace just there, isn't it?

>> Bit. The cliff road's been closed for a

month now, sir. We've had no complaints

reported.

>> Any well, that's all now. Bring in that

young couple.

>> What you got, sir?

>> Are they satisfied?

>> Yes. Is Captain Fraser all right?

>> What the f of them?

>> Same height, bill, shape of head,

anchor, tear on back of left hand.

Couldn't answer a face in view of

absence of same.

>> Recognize this?

>> Yes. It's Captain Fraser's cigarette

case. That's it. All right. Thank you.

I'll have to sign a statement.

>> Very good, sir. Did you find his dog?

>> Dog?

>> Yeah. The one that was on the end of

this chain. Why? I had terri gent asked

us to the name of Jelico. He took it

with him. We didn't see any dog.

>> Maybe jumped out before the crash.

>> You know, dogs are sometimes more

intelligent than human beings.

>> Some human beings.

Over here, please.

Formal statement of identification.

Please meet carefully and sign below.

Adding private and business address if

any, telephone number if any, and

occupation if any.

>> Come on, please.

>> Come on. Come on.

>> I understand you witnessed the accident.

>> He did.

>> That's right.

>> Very well. What happened?

>> Alfred took me for a ride up to Black

Kum Cliff. Didn't you, Alfred?

>> Did you search for me a car?

>> No. We're courting. And

>> what's that got to do with it?

>> Well, it's only a baby. Austin,

>> where were you then?

>> In the Pinewoods.

>> I do hope our names won't come out.

>> Alfred's family wouldn't like it at all.

>> Would you be good enough to tell me what

took place?

>> You mean Oh, about the accident.

>> Naturally.

>> Oh, well, about half 8, we heard this

sort of smashing noise from the cliff

road, and Alfred looked around and saw

that the dead gentleman's car had just

broken through the barrier. Didn't you,

Alfred?

>> That's right. Yes. Went straight on and

slept over the edge of the cliff.

>> You didn't notice a dog in the car. I

suppose

>> I couldn't see. Alfred was in the way.

>> How fast was the car going? 60 or 70? I

suppose.

>> Oh, no. About 30.

>> 30.

>> 30 outside. Sorry.

>> Now, I call that highly significant.

>> How they saw anyone else in the

neighborhood? Another car, for instance.

>> Are you conducting this inquiry or am I?

>> Funny we didn't see another car, but we

heard one, didn't we? That's right. We

heard it ticking over very faint down

below.

>> Thought they was doing the same with us,

didn't we, Alfred?

>> That's right.

>> Do you remember anything else?

>> Except after the accident when I went to

look over the edge of the cliff, I heard

the other car drive off down the loop

way.

>> Really?

>> Oh, I'm I'm awfully person.

>> Well, I haven't actually signed my not

>> Can we go now?

>> Yes.

>> You're going to address it to the

officer in the hall.

>> Oh. I do hope our names won't come out.

>> Alfred's family wouldn't like it at all.

He's got a wife and three children.

That's right.

>> Needs to be a perfectly straightforward

accident case, Sergeant.

>> Yes, sir. He'd taken quite a bit of Rama

board, I understand.

>> Yes, I public splend it.

>> Have you ever tried doing a fine cut

into the middle pocket when yourselves?

>> I beg your pardon.

>> Let it pass.

>> I've often noticed that members of the

public have a passion for amateur

theorizing. Good night. Like, boss,

leave us to do the printing down. You

stick the screw in them down. [laughter]

>> You're quite right side.

>> Good night.

>> Waste of time.

>> Paulie James, detective. Inspector,

Metropolitan Police.

>> Hey, New Scotland. Y

>> HEY, INSPECTOR.

>> AH, I thought so.

>> You're Inspector Hornley.

>> That's my sir.

>> Oh, I've often heard of you. Of course.

I must apologize. Why didn't you tell

me? Well, as a matter of fact, they were

traveling in Cognto. We're on holiday.

You mean where on holiday?

>> Oh, this is Sergeant Bingham.

>> Sergeant? It says you're an occupation

undertaker.

>> Oh, we undertake investigations.

>> Come along inspector. I'm sorry this is

happening.

>> Why don't you sit down?

>> Thank you.

>> Get Sergeant Bingham a chair, will you?

>> Yes, sir. Hold this will have a cigar.

>> Oh, thank you very much.

I take it that you're not satisfied

about this accident, Inspector.

>> Well, I'm satisfied it wasn't an

accident.

>> Why?

>> Why didn't he break? He was only doing

30.

>> Suicide.

>> Oh, so that's it. Oh, why don't you

study psychology, Inspector? Here we

have a fine, hearty young naval officer

rushing off to the bedside of his old

commander. Now, why should he suddenly

decide to commit suicide? Eh, it was an

accident.

>> He was not a naval officer. He was not

hurrying. His old commander does not

exist. It wasn't suicide and it wasn't

an accident. Otherwise, quite correct.

What is this?

>> How can you say that? Why the man rire

of the sea?

>> I'll eat this cigar if he ever told the

decks of anything more than a penny

steamer. Why? I didn't even know the

difference between port and starboard.

>> Sounds like a confidence man.

>> Now, what do we know? Firstly, he

receives a highly upsetting phone call

from a Mr. Bradfield of Dormouth. I'll

lay 10 to one. His name is in the

directory. Check that, Sergeant.

Bradfield Dormouth.

>> Yes, sir. He then leaves in his car with

the dog on the lead. We know there's

another car waiting at Blackham Cliff. A

bit later, Fraser's car goes over the

edge whereupon the other car drives off.

Right.

>> Correct.

>> We also know that the dog wasn't in the

car when it crashed on the beach.

>> I see what you mean. Fraser let the dog

off the lead,

>> which shows that he must have stopped

first, presumably to talk to whoever was

in that other car.

And if you ask me, it finished with

Faser being knocked on the head, shoved

back in his car, which he was set going

for the beach, and then plunk.

>> Murder.

>> Murder made to look like an accident.

Only they forgot the dog. No Bradfield

in the directory on the Dormouth

exchange.

>> Well, that confirms what you said.

>> Murder.

>> So, well, now that we're put in the

right line, sir, we'll resume our

holiday. Coming, inspector, you can't go

through with this, you know. Oh, quite

impossible, sir. I mean, quite apart

from being in holiday, the

superintendent would never hear of it,

>> would he? Appears to me to be a job for

the yard. However, if you're not free.

Well, I can't stop you making a request,

can I, sir? Even if we are off duty, so

to speak.

>> Get me white hall 1212.

>> You did that on purpose. You've

deliberately ruined our holiday. That's

right.

>> [music]

>> Hey, Wy are three chalk ices. Send them

up with the maid right away, will you?

She'll be

Oh gosh, it's going to be the hottest

day of the year.

>> I found something.

>> Nothing much, sir. Mostly bills. And a

couple of letters from a Mrs. Bracer.

And who's that lady friend?

>> Hardly sir. She calls him dear Mr.

Edwitten and hopes his indigestion is

better.

>> Sounds like an old retainer.

>> Well, he won't be troubled much with

indigestion now.

No mention of any family or anything. He

looks as if he was alone in the world.

>> The way these solicitors charge a

lighter robbery. Listen to this. to

>> That doesn't get us very far, does it?

>> No, very not.

>> You're right, sister.

>> Thanks.

Go on. Go on. Go on. Go on. Go on.

>> Chuck ice ch. No, thank you. Hey. No,

thank you. Go on. Put him down. Put him

>> I wish we could get a line on Bradfield,

whoever he might be.

>> Well, if he's got any sense, he'll have

opted out the district by now.

Hello. Hello. Here's something. Fraser

paid the Worldwide Insurance Company

£754 premium on February the 2nd.

>> If that's a life insurance policy, they

might make him a subject for murder. How

do you make that out?

>> Well, if you were in short for a fat sum

and left it to me, I wouldn't mind

turning over the proposition myself.

>> I George, there's motive enough there

for anybody.

>> Yes.

>> What do you propose to do, Inspector?

>> Sit tight. I let the Conor return an

open verdict. We'd all want to scare off

the beneficiaries.

>> I'd like to be present at the reading of

that will.

>> Straight in, son.

>> Yes. What is it?

>> Well, it says here that they're reading

me old captain's will today.

>> You mean the late Captain Edin Frasers?

>> RIP. Yeah, that's the idea.

>> They've just begun. Are you one of the

beneficiaries?

>> Well, um, I have expectations.

>> This way.

>> What name is it?

>> Spatchet. Albert Montiguet.

>> All right.

>> Been my intention.

And now we come to the matter of the

bequest.

>> Mrs. Patchet. Good afternoon all.

>> I don't think I'm acquainted with the

name. Are you a relative, sir?

>> Well, strictly speaking, no. But there's

nothing closer than the Brotherhood of

the Sea, you know. Yes. Many of the gay

are with him with me, old captain. RIP.

And seeing the announcement in the

paper.

Well, go on. Go ahead, governor.

>> As I was saying, we now come to the

matter of the bequests. Oh.

Having remained a bachelor who has spent

the greater part of his life in

different quarters of the globe, I have

neither ties nor dependence. This being

so, I have taken out a life insurance

endowment policy to mature in 20 years

from the present date, and that is of

course 2 years ago. Yes, yours.

>> In the event of my decease before that

time, it is my wish that the full summer

assured, namely £20,000, should revert

to my old nurse and sometime

housekeeper, Mrs. Adelene Bracer, whose

services I remember with gratitude and

affection.

>> What? Me?

>> That is so, Mrs. Bracer.

>> £20,000.

There must be a mistake. I should think

so. There is no mistake, Miss Meadows.

>> Gratitude and affection.

A promise to me.

>> I simply can't understand it. My uncle

always led me to believe that I was the

sole beneficiary.

>> I have not finished yet, Miss Meadow. I

also bequee to Mrs. Bracer the residue

of my personal estate after all claims

and duties have been met. I may say that

the final sum in this case will be very

modest indeed. But this is really quite

absurd. After all, I'm the only relative

he's got.

>> There is still more to come, Miss

Meadows.

>> To my third cousin, Angela Meadows, I

bequeeve my car and my dog, Jelico, with

the earnest request that she will

provide a good home for the latter.

>> Really, this is too humiliating for

words.

>> Well, go on, Governor. Go on.

>> That is all.

>> What do you mean to say I'm not

mentioned?

>> I do. But the captain swore on his

sacred oath that he wouldn't forget me

when he was called up a loft.

>> I'm sorry, Mr. Speed, but there it is.

>> What do you think of that? Served him

like a dog. I did looked after him like

a blicky wet nurse. Here, what about his

telescope and compasses? The kept him

mentioned most particular days to come

to me.

>> I have no knowledge of the matter.

>> Oh, you haven't, have you? Come on now.

What have you done with them? Given them

to your little boy, I suppose.

>> I am unmarried. You better be careful

what you say.

>> Served him like a dork. And what do I

get for it? Nothing. Not a sausage.

There's gratitude for you.

The proceedings are closed. Will you

show Miss Meadows and Mr. Spatchet the

way out, please, Duncan?

>> I do not intend to let the matter rest

here, Mr. Strechy. I shall see my

solicitors at once and have the will

contested.

>> And so shall I.

>> [bell]

>> Hello. I didn't expect you back just

yet, but had a good time in the West

End. Not bad at all, Mrs. Moody.

>> Any customers?

>> Half a dozen, I should think. There's

been quite a run on the ant. It's all

down in the book and the money's in the

drawer. It is a nuisance. I couldn't get

the right material for the parlor

curtain. I suppose you couldn't manage

to come and keep shop again tomorrow

morning for a bit while I have another

look around.

>> Of course I will. Give me a chance to

sit down. I'd sooner look at the

goldfish any day than listen to my

husband on the international situation.

>> Thanks ever so Mrs. Looney.

>> Oh, don't mind me. About to right. See

you tomorrow, dear.

Oh, I forgot. Somebody phoned up.

>> Oh, who was it? Do you know? They said,

"Would you bring them back when you came

home?" The numbers on the desk next to

the pressing car. Bye-bye.

Hello.

Hello. Is that you?

>> Hello.

I'm here.

>> I'll bring you later.

>> Yeah. Nice little business you got here.

Yeah. I bought a fish myself. Pride

preferred.

>> What do you want?

>> Nothing. Nothing at all. I just come

down here in a pure spirit of Christian

goodwill to offer you my arty

congratulations.

>> I suppose you followed me.

>> Nothing of the sort. I looked you up in

the telephone book.

>> Why?

>> Why? Because any friend of the captain

is a friend of mine in spite of the

arting way he treated me.

>> If you come here to catch, I warn you,

you won't get upset. Alakar, if the

thought of money ever entered my head,

may I be struck down this very second?

Mind you, you're quite right to be

careful.

>> Do you sell goldfish, madam?

>> What do you think these are? Carrots.

>> Huh? I want a bowl of little for my

nippers's birthday. You know, a small

bowl.

>> We make up a nice one for three and six.

>> I advise you to go before I send for Mr.

Strechy.

>> You come this way, sir.

>> I'll show you.

too expensive.

>> No, they're not

Y go.

>> [whistles]

[whistles]

>> What?

>> [music]

[music]

>> Hello. Is that Cromwell

321?

>> Yes.

>> Who's that speaking?

>> This is the butler.

What is it?

>> Supposing I were to tell you that Mr.

Bledfield gave me this number to

telephone. Mr.

Mr. Bradfield mean anything to you?

It certainly does.

>> All right. Well, you can cut that

buffalo stuff.

>> Okay, buddy. But you know, you can't be

too careful

in our kind of way.

>> Don't they do it?

>> See, maybe it's the bad line, but I

don't seem to recognize your voice.

Who is it? I don't suppose you ever

heard Mr. Bredfield mention Charlie?

>> Charlie?

So you're Charlie?

>> Have you heard of me?

>> Oh, of course you bet.

>> What a lucky shot.

Is Mr. Bradfield there now?

>> No. Why did he Did he say he would be?

>> Oh, no, no, no. But um I haven't seen

him since the last job.

>> You mean about Captain Fraser?

>> Shh.

>> Oh, I didn't know you were in on him

that Charlie.

>> Oh, up to the neck. Now, listen. I've

got to speak to Bradfield. It's urgent.

Do you know where he is?

>> Why of course, but I can't tell you over

the phone.

>> No, no, no. But this this can't wait.

Do you happen to know of a pub called

the Hero of Inkman at the corner of

Waterloo Street?

>> You bet.

>> Can you meet me there tonight at 8:00?

>> Okay, Charlie.

>> Who do I ask for?

>> Joe.

Spider Joe.

Goodbye, Charlie.

>> Goodbye, Spider.

Hero of Incan. Eight. Spider Joe.

How's that? Eh,

>> good work, sir.

>> Retrie Clone number, sir. The address is

153A Cromwell Avenue.

>> Thank you.

>> 153A Cromwell Avenue.

>> Well, just a minute. Sergeant Bingham,

sir.

>> Right. We'll see what he's got to

report.

>> Hold speaking.

>> Inspector, I've just seen Captain

Fraser.

>> What?

>> Walking down the street with his dog.

Huh? Fancy that.

>> But it's a fact. I followed the men's

girl to a house here. She's just gone

inside when the captain walks up as

large as life and goes into the same

house.

>> And what did the dog say?

>> You don't believe me?

>> Of course I don't.

>> But I saw him with my own eyes,

Inspector. If it wasn't Fraser, it was

his twin brother. Why? I'm teleoning you

now from the same house.

>> And where was that?

>> 153A Cromwell Avenue.

>> What's that?

>> I listen. There's something very

peculiar going on here. Ah, it looks

like you've stolen the mart on me,

doesn't it, Sergeant?

>> Well, yes, it does, doesn't it,

Inspector?

>> Well, you haven't. I know all about that

house. Hey,

>> yes, it's used by the people who kill

Fraser, including Bradfield.

>> That's right. One of them just rang up.

A crook, if ever there was one.

>> Yeah. So, is that Butler fella, you

better be careful of him.

>> Butler? No butler here.

>> What do you mean? I was talking to

himself a couple of minutes ago.

>> But he couldn't have been.

>> Why not? Because I was talking myself to

that crook.

So you're Spider Joe.

You're Charlie.

You baldheaded spindle shank

haggiswitted toffee brain.

>> Wait a minute. Inspector, you made the

very same mistake yourself.

>> I don't want any subordination from you.

You ain't there like a round. But what

about Captain Fraser?

disbelieve in home.

What do you think I am? An idiot?

Well, I knew what I saw, didn't I?

To tell him what to think of him.

Mustn't lose my temper.

I know.

Casual and nonul

you don't believe me, Inspector.

Well, maybe you're right. But I just

want you to convince me, that's all.

That's better. Put the on him.

That's clever.

Cigarette inspector.

No, maybe not. Might take one.

Would you sit down, Inspector?

Now listen, Inspector, just leave

freezer out of the question for the

minute.

[music]

>> [music]

>> Chelsea Bridge and

This is the place.

>> Yes. And I was right about Captain

Fraser. He's in there now.

>> Good. So, he's popped up again.

>> He's dead in the drawing room. I thought

you said he was alive.

>> Yes, but he's dead again now.

>> Well, I wish you make up your mind.

Go on.

Is it here?

Look.

>> I see. First of all, he chucks himself

over a 200t cliff and roast himself

alive. Then he falls back to life again,

decides he doesn't like it, kicks the

bucket a second time, and turns himself

into a prize person.

>> He was there when I come out. I swear he

was.

He spoke to me.

>> But just now he was dead.

>> Yes. He spoke and then he died.

>> What did he say?

>> Chelsea Bridge.

Chelsea Bridge.

Chelsea Bridge.

It's true. I can prove it. There's

something he tried to give me. I've got

it here.

>> That's all right, man. Take it easy.

Take it easy.

gone and

lost it.

>> All right. All right. We'll find it. But

until you got up, said Chelsea Bridge

and fell flat.

>> Of course he did. Nothing unnatural is

that, is that?

>> Nothing at all, sir.

>> No, just what we'd say.

Here it is. What? Praise. I dropped it.

I told you. tried to give it to me.

>> You better take a look around.

>> There you go, sir.

>> That probably belongs to the murderer.

I've placed a vital clue in your hands,

inspector.

>> Yeah. Let me get this straight. You say

you follow the Meadows girl here?

>> Yes.

>> And Fraser came along and you went in

after him?

>> Yes.

>> And there was no sign of anyone until

you found Fraser dead.

>> I knocked him ahead.

>> He must have been attacked as soon as he

got inside.

>> You're sure it was Fraser?

>> Of course, I'm sure. He had that same

anchor mark in his hand.

>> Hey, but how do I know you haven't

imagined it? But you haven't cooked up

this bit of evidence. I wouldn't put it

past you.

>> I have not.

>> I found him upstairs, Inspector.

>> It's Jelico.

>> Could I cook him up?

>> Anything else?

>> No, sir. Nothing.

>> No one downstairs, sir. Kitchen windows

open. There are tire marks just outside

and muse.

>> Of course. Whoever it was took Fraser's

body through the back to a car while you

were taking the air in the front. Why

the blazing to stick inside?

Suppose you'd like to find me stretch

stepping and cold in that carpet. Yeah,

>> don't put ideas in me, my head.

>> Chelsea bridge. Chelsea,

>> I believe I've got it.

>> Suppose you Fraser overheard them say

that they were going to drop his body

over it. I tried to tell you. How about

that?

It's

>> possible,

>> right? Well, now you go and keep a watch

on Chelsea Bridge,

>> but no.

>> Yeah, further orders. Go on, hop it. Go

on. Go on. Now, what about these car

marks?

Chelsea Bridge

>> to end over Black and Cliff. Who was the

Dickens? Was it

>> somebody else? Sir, what we used to call

us cool X the unknown quantity.

Fraser's friends wait for him on the

cliff road with a body of X. Fraser

changes clothes with it. They spray the

car with petrol, put X in it, and send

it over the cliff. And Fraser rides off

with his friends Angelico.

Fraser was insured for £20,000 and his

relatives couldn't collect unless they

got a body to show for it.

>> Gosh.

>> Yeah. We're under the nastiest and case

of murder I ever struck.

>> Yes, I suppose.

>> Jelico, I suppose I can take it that

Fraser really is dead now.

>> Oh, I think so, sir. I will help it lie

down this time.

>> If he was a member of the gang, why

should they have killed him?

>> Oh, I suppose. Oh, the double cross's

boss, Bradfield, whoever he is.

>> Wait a minute.

Supposing Miss Meadows is Bradfield.

>> Couldn't be sir. She couldn't have

shipped Fraser's body alone. And don't

forget Mrs. Brace had given their

Cromwell number to phone presumably to

talk to the boss.

>> Hello.

Oh, good. Bring him up. It's a chap from

the Institute of Heraldry, sir. I asked

him to check up on that signatur.

>> Good afternoon, gentlemen.

>> Good afternoon. Come in, Mr. Speaker.

Hongley, I presume.

>> That's right. Now, bring your chair.

>> Oh, thank you.

There we are.

>> Now, did you have any luck?

>> Since Herald is an exact science, luck

can hardly be said to enter into it.

However,

my researches have met with some slight

success. Good. Did you find out who the

ring belongs to?

>> All in good time, Inspector.

>> I have here a colored plate of the coat

of arms you will have observed on this

ring. In simple non-technical language,

it consists of um quarterly uh first

argent three stags proper tripping.

Quite

>> uh second Guis

overall a battle sinister argent often

erroneously referred to as a bar

sinister denoting an illegitimate

descent. You follow of course

>> yeah the wrong side of the blanket.

>> Uh third or uh five ogreses or pellets

in

sultan. Oh, yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes.

>> On investigation, I found that the arms

are those of the Stone Wallace family.

>> Good. Where can I get them?

>> All in good time, Inspector.

Turning to Derek, [clears throat]

we find u here an entry under Stone

Wallace.

I take it you are not concerned with the

derivation of the name itself.

Not passionately.

>> Ah, pity. It has points of interest.

Um, however, uh, the sole surviving

member of the family would appear to be,

um, Richard Amstratherstone Wallace,

born 1893.

He is now resident at Five Oaks near St.

Alburn's.

>> Good. Splendid. Five Oaks and Orbins.

Thank you very much, Mr. Griggle. Just

what I wanted.

Assumements have no time to lose. Stone

Wallace may be the man we want.

>> Good luck, Inspector.

>> Thank you.

>> Hello. Where have you been?

>> Chelsea Bridge.

>> What?

>> All night.

>> Bless my soul. I forgot all about you.

Oh. Oh, I'm sorry. But what happened?

>> For 12 solid hours. Nothing. Then an old

lady gave me a penny. So disgusted at

half of mine to throw it over the

bridge.

Well, going to go home now and have my

money in peace.

>> Yes, when we get back from St. Orbins.

>> St. Orins? [laughter]

I haven't had a wink of sleep.

>> Well, I'm sorry about that.

Nevertheless, we're going to catch an

omnimous vert after a Bradfield rampant

and no stopping at any bile sinister.

>> Come on.

>> Nice little place.

>> Yeah. Wake up.

You know that's the third time you've

dropped off. You better pull yourself

together. We may be meeting the

murderer. That is if he's at home.

Hello.

>> Can I ask you, sir?

>> Well, I wanted to speak to Mr. Stone

Wallace on a matter of business.

>> Don't you, sir?

>> What?

>> Mr. Stonewallis died three weeks ago.

>> Died?

>> Yes, sir.

>> Can I do anything? I was his butler. No,

I'm afraid not. But when was the

funeral?

>> 16th, sir?

>> What? Here?

>> Down in the village at the Paris Church.

>> Oh, by the way, you're an service man,

aren't you?

>> Yes, sir. Marines. I was Mr. Stone

Wallace's sergeant when he was in the

Navy.

>> Uh, thank you very much.

>> Come on. Come on.

>> It's as great as a bike stop.

We found X. It was Stone Wallace's body

they sent over the trip instead of

Frasers.

>> How can you prove it?

>> Easy. Tonight, you and I are going to

play Hamlet. Act five, scene one.

>> Have we timed to fool about like that?

>> The gravedigger scene. You ignore Ramos.

>> Excuse me, sir.

>> [music]

>> Rob,

you didn't talk.

>> You know, we shouldn't be doing this

without an examation Arthur from the

home office.

>> Well, I retired in 1950.

>> What's the matter with you? Hey, fever.

>> No, Chelsea bridge.

>> Cut it.

All clear.

>> Richard Anto died 3 weeks ago. That's

the one we want.

This might be it.

Richard and brother Stone Wallace.

That's our boy.

Go on. Lights.

Now you get busy with that other stone

that other um comb.

Yes.

I didn't think much of that steak we had

for dinner.

That's the worst of these country pubs.

They're all right for beer, but when it

comes to food, they stop sort of bread

and cheese and pickles.

Coming.

Coming.

>> What do you expect to find?

>> Nothing. A whole coffin full of it. Come

on. Up he goes.

Bless my soul.

Captain, he's popped up again.

Well, we seem to be back where we

started.

>> Anyway, we've seen the last of Fraser.

That's worth a couple of years pension.

>> I wonder why they bothered to put his

corpse into somebody else's coffin.

>> Now, look, if I ever murdered you, which

becomes increasingly likely, the snake

would be getting rid of your body,

socalled, and if I knew of a nice vacant

coffin, why jump at it? Vulgar abuse

doesn't alter the fact that we're no

further forward.

>> Of course we are. We now know that Stone

Wallace wasn't murdered. They just

snatched his body and set it over the

cliff instead of Fraser.

>> Yes, but who planned it? And who killed

Fraser?

>> Bradfield.

>> And who's Bradfield?

>> Search me.

>> There you are then. You see, just what I

said. We haven't advanced an inch.

>> Wait a minute. There's one thing we

forgotten. That comic clue of yours.

Chelsea Bridge.

>> You can watch it yourself this time.

>> No, no, no. I was wrong then.

>> Still, it must have meant something.

How did he say it?

>> H just sort of opened his mouth and said

it.

>> Yes. Well, come on now. Show me.

>> Well, you sort of sitting like this.

>> What's the matter?

>> Feel sort of silly.

>> Come on now. Get on with it.

You sort of sitting like this. See?

And then he opened his eyes and he took

the rockles up.

>> It must have been a horrible sight.

And he

tickets, please.

Go on. Give me the tickets. Don't sit

there in the club.

>> Thank you.

Let's head the side house.

We might come back.

>> Come on. Come on. Don't be quiet. Come

on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Really?

Struggled up the way I showed you. Then

he sort of pointed at me and said,

"Selie,

bridge

and

dead."

>> And what? That's all.

>> But did he say Chelsea bridge end?

>> Did I say end?

>> Yes.

>> It meant he must have said and

>> but they didn't finish it. He must have

died before he could get it out. It

might have been and anything and all

stations south. And the same to you.

>> Doesn't make sense.

>> What doesn't?

>> Chelsea bridge and the same to you.

>> Chilling Mick Chelsea Art Store Chelsea

Barracks Chelsea

Uhhuh. Chelsea bridge and social club.

>> Bridge?

I wonder.

>> Bridge Club doesn't sound very ominous

to me.

>> Let's go.

The butch club's under here. Uhhuh.

Hello. Hello. This is station GCG43

calling all enthusiastic amiders.

Station CG43 now testing. I'm going to

put on a few gramophone records.

Is this one of these duct wireless

amateurs?

>> [music]

>> Yeah. See that window?

>> Uhhuh.

>> Well, take a digger through it.

>> Can't reach.

>> Go. Bend down and I'll hold your feet.

Not me. Why don't you do it?

>> Oh, the police force can't afford to

lose me.

>> Can't afford.

No insubordination. Come on.

>> I can't stand heights. Go. It's all

right. I'll look after you. Now, bend

down.

>> I'm going to trust you.

>> That's all right. Yes. Now, take it

easy. Take yourself.

>> Yes. I'll get hold of you and I'll pay

you out inch by inch.

>> I'm getting on. Go on now. Go on. I've

got you. Are you sure?

>> I've got

>> Go on. Go on.

>> I've got you, but don't go too far.

>> Can you see anything?

>> It's a bridge club. All right. There are

folk playing cards. Now, let me up for

pity sake.

>> Anyone we know?

>> There's that wireless chap just going

out. No, I mean just coming in. It's all

very confusing. They're all upside down.

>> What's up? I've dropped you in seven

completely.

>> Never mind. You've charged the expenses

sheet.

>> What's happening now?

There

>> seems to be a bit of an argument.

>> You will return to Chroma tomorrow and

you will hear from us when your turn

comes.

>> Well, supposing I refuse to go on with

it.

>> Isn't that a little difficult?

>> I didn't know I was going to work for a

murderer. Well, that's what Bradfield

is, isn't he? You think I can't guess?

>> You'd better be careful.

>> Well, you're the only one who knows who

he is. Why should we work for a man

we've never even seen?

>> Because you're well paid for it. And

because you can't afford not to.

>> It's Mrs. Britain and the maid's gur.

>> Good. We struck oil.

>> The maid's guru seeing something.

>> What? You think I am a lip reader as

well as a trapeze artist?

What's happening now?

>> Whatever the argument was about to be as

gill as one.

>> Now, can I come up now,

>> please? Inspector.

>> All right. Come on.

>> All right. I've got you. Wait a minute.

I was scr

handed my resignation if I didn't know

you'd jump at it.

>> That's right.

>> Nothing with death.

>> Yes.

>> It looks as if praise. It was only one

cog in a very big wheel.

>> Well, there's only one thing to do. Read

the place. What we want is Bretfield

27.

Here, hop down to the police box and

phone that through to the super. It's

urgent. Go on. I'll back up. I'll meet

you around the corner in a couple of

minutes.

>> You might send us through to the bus

when he comes down.

>> Are you on the air yet? UX74.

UX74.

If so, please call me.

>> Over.

>> Hello, CG43.

Here I am. You're coming over at good

strength. How have you been getting on

since our last talk? I suppose you've

been busy in the garden today. Over.

>> That's right.

>> Some of the family are a bit worried

over that medler tree you cut back for

us last week. The roots seem to be

affecting the shrub from the chroma

nursery. Over. I'll try and pick up the

reply.

>> There is no need to worry about the

chroma. If necessary, we can

transplanted.

>> Can you tell where it's coming from?

>> Give us a chance, sir.

>> Try it yourself, Jim.

>> Okay, George.

>> The Medler tree needed drastic

treatment, but you will find the garden

will be all the better for it.

Is there any sign of blight in your

district? Over.

>> You sure you're in the right station?

>> Sounds like Mr. Middleton to me? It's

Bedfield. The family is the gang. The

gardens the wreckage and the trees are

the separate members. The middler that

was cut back was Captain Fraser.

>> Oh, I see. But what's the plate? Ashu

the police.

Not for a bit. Jim, quick.

>> All right.

>> I may not be able to carry out another

experiment for some time.

>> It's quite me now, sir. Less than a

mile, I should say.

>> Good. Good.

South now, Jim.

>> As you know, it's a delicate operation,

and one can only graft onto a similar

species.

>> Not more than half a mile. Huh?

>> It is unlikely, therefore, that you will

hear from me for another month or so.

>> No, but you'll hear from us if you only

keep on talking.

>> I don't think there's anything else.

>> Hey. Oh, here. Come on. Think of

something.

>> No, that seems to be all. So, goodbye

for the president.

>> Oh, what? Leads up the garden and then

nips in the blinking.

>> He was transferred from somewhere inside

the circle.

>> What's number three?

>> Loon barrage supply depot.

>> Four. Ratto's dog biscuit factory.

>> Balloons and dog biscuits. You're

wasting your time, Inspector. Look, why

not arrest the others? One of them

certain to squeal.

>> Well, how can the school if they don't

know?

>> Six Queen Anne's Hospital.

>> What's the use? Wait a minute.

>> Who are you going to call?

Get me St. Orin's 32.

>> Who do you calling?

>> You'll see.

Hello. Is that the late Mr. Stone

Wallace's butler?

This is Inspector Hall, Metropolitan

Police, and I'm making certain

inquiries.

I understand that Mr. Stone Wallace had

a lung illness. Did he die at home?

Ah, thank you very much. That'll do.

Stone Wallace is removed to a private

ward in Queen Anne's Hospital where he

died 6 weeks later.

>> Queen Ans. So that's where Bradfield's

playing his game.

>> Yeah. Square number six. Ask Dr.

McDonald to come along, will you?

>> Yes, sir.

>> I believe I've got it. This record is

worked in the hospital.

Batfield sends out a message whenever he

spots a dying patient who resembles a

member of the gang. When Stone Wallace

entered the hospital, he warned Captain

Fraser, a member of the same height,

build, age,

and told him to get ready for the change

over there.

>> Yeah, but that that could work once, but

it's a chance thing to try and run in a

system.

>> That's where the doctor can help us.

>> What's this inspector? I want to ask you

something, doctor.

>> Do you know Queen Anne's Hospital?

>> Yes. I walked it 15 years ago.

>> How many patients pass through there

year?

>> Oh, let me see. There used to be 850

beds in my time. There probably more

now. Say 15,000 patients.

>> And the mortality rate?

>> The average is about 5%.

>> Ah, that'll be what? Um, 750 deaths a

year.

>> Right. Thank you, doctor. Thank you very

much.

>> That's okay. Let me see.

750 dead bodies against a dozen stooges.

That would mean that Bradfield could

work his wreckage about three or four

times a year. And at 20,000 a piece,

>> gosh, my ingenious,

[laughter]

>> that's 80,000 a year.

>> Yeah. Not bad, is it?

>> How did you find out?

>> Now, while you've been wasting your

time, I I've been busy.

See these

candy camera placed outside the bridge

club. Now, this one's the shrub from

Chroma, unless I'm mistaken.

Insured with a good citizen company for

£15,000.

Runs a small yacht. You can guess the

rest.

>> You drown.

>> Yeah. Boat sinks, body supplied by Queen

M, washed up later, batted out of all

recognition, identified as his, and so

on. Each member supplied with a

different background, waiting till the

body turns up more or less like them.

>> I see. So, we still don't know who

Bradfield is. We only know that he's

somewhere in that hospital and that he

won't move again until the right patient

dies.

>> We got to supply one for him.

>> Mean a patient?

>> Yeah. We've got to send someone from

here who looks like one of this gang

into Queen Anne's Hospital with a fatal

disease.

>> Oh, I see.

>> Yeah. Well, what's up?

>> I was just trying to think of somebody

around here with a fatal disease.

>> It doesn't have to be genuine, you fool.

Of

course not.

>> No, we got to look like one of these.

>> This one's not un like Mrs. Hacket.

>> Huh?

>> You know Mrs. Hacket that comes and

cleans out the office.

>> H. Yes. Quite a distinct resemblance.

>> Yes. I'd like us two pins.

>> Hey. Well, then come on. Let's get a

hold of her.

>> No, I'm talking about Mrs. Haggett. Who

are you talking about?

Doesn't remind me of any. But

it's not with me at all. Dead spit.

>> I tell you, I wouldn't do it. There's no

asking.

>> Oh, yes you will.

>> Oh, yes you will.

>> No, I won't.

>> Come on now. What fatal disease would

you like?

>> No. Listen, I know my duty as well as

anybody, but I will not go into that

hospital as a patency. And that's

absolutely final.

[music]

[music]

Careful, careful, careful, gently,

gently.

Uh, good morning, man. Good morning, Mr.

John. Uh, Mr. McKenzie is a very old

patient of mine, manners. I'm sure I

understand his conditions extremely

grave. Coronary thrombosis, you know,

hopefully to his weak state. Then there

the effects of nephritis and other

complications.

Then it's only a matter of time, surely.

>> Quite under the circumstances, I'm going

to make a rather special request.

>> Yes.

>> The patient has expressed a special

desire that his own medical attendant,

Dr. Tumi, might be constantly with him.

>> It's contrary to hospital practice.

>> Yes. Yes, I know, but it can only be for

a few more days.

>> Well, of course, George, if you insist.

>> Thank you. I was sure you'd be

sympathetic.

>> Dr. Tum.

>> Ah, mate dear. Sir J,

>> how do you do Dr. Hy?

>> This is the house surgeon, Dr. Manos and

the matron.

>> I've been all arrangements for you to be

in attendance and Dr. Manos and the

matron will cooperate.

>> Splendid.

>> If I can help in any special way,

doctor, please let me know.

>> I most certainly will. Thank you very

much.

And how is my patient?

>> Coronary thrombosis, you know, hopeless.

There are also the effects of nephritis

and other complications.

>> So I believe.

>> Yes. Well, I must be going. Um, if I

might suggest Dr. Tumi, I think I should

give the patient a slight seditive. His

journey seems to have unsettled him.

>> Oh, great. I do certainly.

>> Goodbye.

>> Goodbye, sir.

>> And who is Mr. McKenzie?

>> No, no, no. Mustn't talk. Mustn't talk.

>> No, no, no, no, no.

That'd be a good problem.

>> Is there anything I can do, doctor?

>> Well, no, not just at the moment. Thank

you.

>> Oh, a bigger.

>> Nice little piece.

Yes, I know. But how long am I likely to

be here? Oh, only a few more hours, I

hope.

>> Get anything for me?

>> Well, you're ill.

>> You don't think I'm going to lie here

and starve, do you?

>> Oh, all right. Some people don't think

of their stomachs. Yes. And mind you,

pop it under the bed clothes if anybody

comes.

>> You suspect anybody yet?

>> No. Give us a chance.

Oh, well, doctor shap.

>> If you follow me, doctor, I'll show you

your room.

>> Oh, well, thank you very much. Oh.

Coronary thrombosis. You know, hopeless.

There are also the epics of deflated.

>> So, George asked yesterday that he

should be admitted. I believe.

>> Yes, sir.

>> Poor fellow.

I'm afraid he'll never leave here alive.

won't leave here alive.

>> Other

come here.

>> Yeah. I don't like the look of that

doctor.

>> All right. Dr. Maz,

>> why?

>> He asked for my card. He took a look at

my name and address and said I wouldn't

leave here alive.

>> Yeah, he doesn't seem to be bursting

with goodwill, does he?

>> You better lie down or just run for the

nurse.

>> Think he's Bradfield?

>> I don't know. But if he is, he'll radio

the bridge club tonight. Telling him

he's got his eye on the right kind of

bald-headed corpse. And that's what

we're waiting for.

>> Yes, doctor.

>> Oh. Uh, is Dr. Miller still about? He's

just starting his round at the hospital.

Shall I tell him you want him?

>> No, no, no, no, no. But what time does

he finish his rounds?

>> Not at 11:00.

>> 11:00?

Oh, uh, I wonder if you'd mind drawing

the coffins.

>> Is there anything else, doctor?

>> No, thank you, my dear. My dear Pishna.

Yes.

11:00,

the exact time that Bradfield broadcast

the other night. What are you going to

do?

>> Wait.

Come on. Shove over.

Can I have the sporting page? No, you

can't. I wanted to see the results of

the Highland Games.

>> Well, they're not in. This is a

civilized newspaper.

>> Ah, 11:00.

>> Where are you going?

>> I'm going to take a look at Dr. Manners.

>> Will you lie down and go on dying?

Somebody might come in.

And remember, if that nurse comes back,

none of your island games.

>> Oh, just uh finish my run.

>> Thought I'd look in and see if you gone

to bed. Will I? I don't like to leave a

case of acute coronary thrombosis, you

know.

>> Patient's no worse, I hope.

>> Oh, he's very restless. Very restless.

So, there's the after effects of

nephritis and other complications.

>> Yes, you mentioned that. What are the

other complications exactly?

>> Well, uh, there's his liver, for

instance. Is that affected?

>> Oh, yes. Riddled with disease.

>> What's the trouble?

>> What didn't Sir George tell you?

>> No. Very curious. I should have thought

he'd mentioned that.

Have you ever heard of plutotosis?

>> Plutosis?

Never.

>> Well, very few people have, as a matter

of fact. Anyway, he's got it. It's a

tropical disease. Baffled the medical

profession in the tropics for years.

>> Tropics?

>> Yes, that's we picked. [laughter] I have

contracted it. I mean,

>> oh, well, I'll be turning in.

>> Call me if you want me.

>> I most certainly will. Good night. Good

night.

>> What did you see? I had

>> glutes.

Never heard of it.

>> Neither have I.

>> Here, you sit tight. I'm going to follow

him.

Hello. Hello. UX74 calling CG43.

I have some good news for you and the

family about the garden. I think I can

now lay my hands on a suitable species

so we can go ahead with the next few

days on another grafting experiment.

I suggest we might try it on that tree

of yours which has not borne fruit for 4

years. You know the one I mean that's

all for the present. Good night.

>> Good night. All right.

Dr. Tum.

>> Hey,

>> there's a man at the casualty entrance

asking for you.

>> Oh. Oh, yes. Yes. That' be one of my

private patients. His wife's um, you

know, big enough.

Well, my men

>> any results?

>> Yes. He came through with this

>> when?

>> About 10 minutes ago.

>> Anything wrong?

>> No. But

>> no, there's no need to distress

yourself, my men. It's a perfectly

natural process. You go home and tell

your wife that there's one barn every

minute.

Well, what happened?

>> Oh, we just sat down and read a book. We

made a mistake. He's not Bradfield.

>> Are you sure?

>> Yeah, I just heard from Elf. At the very

moment I was watching Manners, Bradfield

was on the air giving another gardening

talk, reporting your arrival.

That's bite.

>> No, no, we're getting on. But we got to

take it a stage further, that's all. Hm.

>> What do you mean a stage further?

>> Well, you all have to go the whole hog

and die.

>> Die?

I'll do nothing of the sort.

>> But can't you see it's necessary? When

you kick the bucket, Brad will broadcast

the news. And then if we keep an eye on

everybody that knows that you snuffed

it, well, we're bound to nab him.

>> Won't do it. I'm going home and with a

clear conscience. Mark you. Dying

doesn't come under my police oath.

Where's my trousers?

>> You're going west. You got colonial

thrombosis, tropical fluosis, and

arterial complications in the bypass.

And you're going west.

>> I won't do it.

>> Now listen to me. For the last time,

you're going to die and like it.

Morning nurse. Morning.

>> Dr. Tumi about yet?

>> I haven't seen him yet.

>> Thank you.

May I see the patient's card, please?

Nurse

108.

Who recorded this?

>> Dr. Tum.

>> It's fantastic.

Temperature of 108. It's a medical

impossibility.

Either this is the most extraordinary

case that ever entered this hospital or

Dr. Tumi's

Well, never mind.

It's a curious thing, nurse. I know Dr.

Tum's face, but I can't place it. Is he

familiar to you?

>> Very.

>> Just as I thought.

I want to work with you, Tumi. And I

regret to say with you too, Sir George.

>> Why? What's the trouble, man?

>> Dr. Tum here has recorded the patient's

temperature as 108.

>> Well, 108, man. Don't you realize how

high that is?

>> Well, I I told you it was a tropical

disease.

Do you seriously tell me that his

temperature was 108?

More or less. More or less. More all

this. Is this a hospital or a mad house?

I've just examined the patient. Sir, his

temperature, pulse, breathing are all

absolutely normal. He's as fit as you or

I.

>> Well, uh, I'm sorry to have to include

you in such an accusation, Sir George,

but in my opinion, this is the worst

case of medical fraud that has ever been

perpetrated on an innocent patient. I'll

go even further. Such conduct is not

medicine. It's murder. You hit the nail

on the head, doctor. Hey, is murder all

right? He knows too much, Sir George. I

better tear off the whiskers. This is

Inspector Hornley of Scotton Yard.

>> Hornley.

Yes. Yes. I can certify I'm dead. All

right. But what then? Leave the rest to

me.

>> Oh, his pulse is failing. I'm afraid he

won't last out the day. I'd better phone

the relatives. Oh,

>> he he's only got it now. And she's in

Scotland.

>> I should let her know. Have you got the

address?

>> Well, yes. I fix her somewhere. Oh,

hello. In my wallet. Yes. Uh oh, yes.

Here we are. Miss McDougall, Kurt

Michael Cottage.

Come. Oh, yes. Port William. Uh, she's

not on the phone. I think you better.

You might leave us to the patient for a

few minutes. I'll call you.

>> You stop breathing like a blinking goat.

>> It's all right. He's in on it.

>> What happened?

>> Well, he rumbled. It's all your fault

telling me you had a sister with flu and

a temperature of 110.

>> Does that mean I don't have to die?

>> It does not. You die tonight at 5

minutes to 11 precisely. Uh, what's the

procedure, doctor?

Well, I shall certify death in the usual

way. The matron will then give orders

for the body to be removed to the

morttery. The

>> what?

>> It will then be placed on a slab and

remain there until the undertakers

collect it in the morning.

>> Over my dead body.

>> Oh, no. Now, shut up. Shut up.

>> Your inspector, either this corpse goes

home or it resigns.

>> But you're not going to lie down on a

job at time like this.

>> I'm not going to lie down in a slab in a

morttery all night all alone.

>> You won't be alone.

Poor

[laughter]

fellow. He died as he lived. An officer

and a gentleman.

>> I'll give instructions for the bodies

they removed to the mercury.

[music]

>> [music]

>> Police are here. [music]

Come on, boys. Here they are.

There you are. [music]

>> The police are downstairs. Is the chief

on yet?

>> Not yet.

>> We'll try and get through to him.

>> Me? No fear. I'm off.

[music]

>> This is CG43

calling UX74. Very urgent. This is CG43

calling UX74. Very urgent.

>> UX74 here. What is it?

>> This is Anne. We're finished, Jack. The

police are here. They're coming up the

stairs now, darling. What shall I do?

>> Nothing. An keep quiet and say nothing.

Tell the others to do the same. They

haven't a shred of evidence. If you keep

your nerve and leave the rest to me,

everything will be all right here. Good

luck, my darling.

>> Hello, Mrs. Dartmore calling the radio

lab. We've got your number. And in case

you're thinking of trying any funny

business, I've been told to warn you

that half the metropolic police surround

Queen Anne's Hospital.

>> We've got him.

>> Get the key.

>> You've been very clever. Unfortunately,

I visited the old Bailey before, and I

disliked the procedure. There's a

balcony outside this room with 100 ft

drop. Go. Leave the [music] door down.

Go.

Cut out on the balcony. [music]

>> [music]

>> Mr. Mason, come on. [music]

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

>> Hello. [music]

[music]

[music]

Hello.

>> [music]

>> Make him move on. What's the other side?

>> Right there. You look through these

rooms. [music]

[music]

>> Excuse me.

>> Have you seen the matron?

>> Afraid not.

>> A pity you forgot to change your shoes,

Mr. Bradfield.

A nice little spot of Jack Hide, I must

say. Come on, the game's up. Oh, you cut

that up. [music]

>> Come on, hand over.

>> No, no, no, inspector. Always thinking

of your stomach.

>> Come on, hand over. Do you know you

shouldn't be surprised if you had a

touch of nefritus and uh other

complications.

Would you like me to take your

temperature?

>> I'd like you to ring your hook. The

greatest of pleasure.

>> I'll leave Grimshore to keep you

company.

>> Hey, you've taken my little nurse to the

pictures.

Goodbye, Inspector.

>> Want another dose of that?

>> Yes. Come along. Drink it up.

>> Oh.
