[birds chirping]

[tense music plays softly]

[flame hisses]

[man sighs]

Baby brother, we're running late. Come on.

[suspenseful percussive music plays]

[clock ticks and strikes 12]

[both panting]

Where is he?

-Can you see him?
-Relax. He said he'd be here.

[woman 1] Excuse me, I think
you've got something on your dress.

-[gun cocks]
-[sinister music plays]

-[gun fires]
-[woman 2 groans]

[woman 1] No further, please.

I'm afraid your appointment's
gone to the bullring instead.

He won't be returning.

The envelope, please, unless you want
to go the same way as your sister.

-You didn't have to kill her.
-[chuckles] No.

But I must be allowed
some pleasure in my job.

This is my life's work.

And we will make sure
that your efforts aren't wasted.

[breath trembles]

[gun fires]

[man breathes heavily]

[melancholic music playing]

[sobs]

[breath trembles]

[somber string music playing]

[musical arrangement turns bold]

[alarm clock ringing]

[church bell tolls]

Poor chap.
The man was an absolute delight.

The cleverest of any of us.

And you find him shot like a dog.

Can I trust you, Jimmy?

The Thesiger name
is unimpeachable, Bundle.

Come on, you know that.

What if Gerry and Ronny's deaths
were connected

to their work at the Foreign Office?

If they had discovered
something untoward going on there?

I don't know what to think.

At first, I thought Lady Coote had
something to do with Gerry's death, but…

I don't see she can have
anything to do with Ronny's.

And, Jimmy, listen,

Ronny's last words were
that I must tell you "Seven Dials."

Seven what, sorry?

Dials.

Right.

-And what am I supposed to make of that?
-I don't know.

But that's what he said.
"Tell Jimmy Thesiger, 'Seven Dials.'"

You'd think a chap's dying words
would be a bit clearer.

And why me?

It's not as if
I'm one of his closest chums.

No, I've been thinking about that.

[mysterious music playing]

You really have been stewing in this,
haven't you?

Do you have any information
for Gerry's sister, Loraine?

Ma said you contacted the family
to break the news.

I did.

Not the happiest of tasks.

Attractive girl, though.
Pride myself we got on rather well.

Why do you ask?

I found a letter Gerry was writing
to Loraine before he died,

but there was no address.

I see.

What say I facilitate a meeting?
The three of us.

At my rooms.

I wouldn't mind an excuse
to see her again.

Jimmy, you are incorrigible.

-I prefer "hopeless romantic."
-[chuckles]

You will be careful with all
this digging around, won't you, Bundle?

Can't have a target on your back.

Or mine, either,

for that matter.

Now,

who would you say is that man
staring at us through the trees?

[Bundle] Him again.

You know him? He's been peering
and scratching in his notebook.

Yes, he followed Ronny and I
when we went to confront Lady Coote,

after which I found him
having telephoned Scotland Yard.

Or one of them, perhaps.
Or a criminal informant.

[Bundle] Either way, I intend to find out.

I shan't let him get away a second time.

-Don't forget Loraine.
-Uh…

[dramatic string music playing]

-[gears click]
-[engine revs]

Hmm? Oh!

[tires screech]

-[engine revs]
-[tires squeal]

Huh. [chuckles]

[tires screech]

[chuckles softly]

[horns honking]

Hmm.

[Klaxon blows]

[horn honks]

[dramatic music intensifies]

[people chatter indistinctly]

[telephones ring in distance]

[man] Afternoon, madam.

Uh, miss, you can't go in there.

You're quite mistaken, Officer.
I absolutely can.

See?

[door closes]

[laughs] Well, now.

This is an honor.

Lady Eileen Brent.

I know who I am.

But who the devil are you?

And why have you been following me?

It's Battle. Superintendent Battle.

May I provide you with some refreshment?

Do you have gin?

I was more envisaging tea.

-It's far too early for tea.
-Mmm.

[inhales sharply]

How may I be of service?

You can tell me why you tried
to evade my pursuit just now.

I'm not in the habit of being followed.

If there's any following to be done,
I greatly prefer to be the one doing it.

And why were you watching me
when I was last with Ronny Devereux?

Uh…

I had business in a vicinity

pursuant to the inquest
into Mr. Gerald Wade's death.

Ah, would you--

Why are you interested in that?

Oh, I'm interested
in a great many things, Lady Eileen.

Well, then, you ought to know
that the inquest got it completely wrong.

Gerry did not need
or take sleeping drafts.

And he certainly did not kill himself.

Yes, I-- I took note of your statement.

Uh, he died in your bed, did he not?

He did, yes.

Yes. And you were also the person

who discovered the body
of Mr. Ronald Devereux

subsequent to his having been shot?

I was.

Mmm.

-[sighs]
-[papers rustle]

Are you somehow suggesting
I'm implicated in their deaths?

I-- I don't believe
I used those words, Lady Eileen.

My interest lies solely in facts.

You'd be surprised
how elusive they can be.

Tell me… there's been no mention
of Ronny's death in the newspapers.

You have any idea why that is?

Uh, yes. [chuckles softly]

And are you at liberty to share?

I may have asked for a delay in reporting

in order to carry out my inquiries
in a timely fashion.

Have you looked into any links
between their deaths?

Questioned anyone at the Foreign Office?

Or the Cootes?

And what do you know about Seven Dials?

Y-You are aware, Lady Eileen,

that I am usually the person
asking the questions in this office?

Then I hope you're enjoying
this delightful turn of events.

[laughs]

Seven Dials?

[clears throat] Strictly speaking,

there is no such place
as Seven Dials these days.

Most of it has been torn down and rebuilt.

It's still rather a low quarter.
Why do you ask?

[papers rustle softly]

Gerry… mentioned it in this letter
he was writing the night he died.

Please?

How long have you had this?
Why was this not submitted to the inquest?

It felt personal.
I didn't think it had a bearing.

Oh, I see.

Uh…

This reference to, uh, Seven Dials,

do you believe
he was referring to the area

or the club in Hunstanton Street?

"Hunston" Street.

No, Hunstanton Street.

No, it's correctly pronounced…

-Never mind.
-To which was he referring?

The area or the club?

It's unclear.

I should avoid both were I in your shoes.
Would you mind if I kept this letter?

I would.

I would mind greatly.

Please don't misunderstand me,
Superintendent.

It's all I have left of him.

-He was the best of men.
-So I understand.

[inhales sharply] If you'll let me
advise you, Lady Eileen--

I know what you're going to say.

You should return home, and leave
all of this to the professionals.

Meaning I am an amateur?

You are an intelligent and perspicacious
young woman, Lady Eileen,

but these are dangerous matters.

I have grasped that. I'm not a fool.

[sighs] I don't for a moment
believe that you are, no.

But please, stay away
from the Foreign Office and the Cootes

and anything to do with Seven Dials.

This ground is treacherous. Hmm?

[Bundle] Mm.

You're going to do exactly the opposite
of what I've just advised, aren't you?

I don't know why you'd think that.

Hmm.

[lively chattering]

Can't tell you how pleased I am
to see you. An absolute treat.

So, how's everything? I don't know
how you're keeping yourself together,

what with first poor Gerry
and now poor Ronny.

For you to find him dying like that was…

[inhales and exclaims] …ghastly.

-Mmm.
-Yes, I try not to think about it.

We plod on, don't we? Hmm.

Did Ronny say anything to you
before he died?

"Anything" is, uh, rather a broad canvas,
Bundle. [chuckles nervously]

About Gerry?

All those infernal clocks?

He did not.

Absent friends.

-That's what I say.
-Hmm.

Hmm. What do you know
about The Seven Dials Club?

Hmm? The what where? [coughs]

Seven Dials.

-On Hunstanton Street.
-I don't think I know it.

Don't pretend you don't know
what I'm talking about.

I've known you long enough to appreciate
you only ask people to repeat themselves

when you need more thinking time.

-Do I?
-Mm-hmm.

Dash it, Bundle.
How is it you know me so well,

yet you're such a complete mystery to me?

-Seven Dials. Tell me everything.
-I-- There's not much--

Or this will be a very short dinner.

I feel I've been somewhat ensnared.

There's not much to tell.

Nobody really goes there now.

It was a bit of a craze for a while,
but goodness me,

it turns out you can get tired
of eating fried fish.

So it's a nightclub, then?

Yes, that's it.

Awfully mixed crowd.

Uh, artists.

All sorts of…

odd women. [chuckles]

Plus a sprinkling of our lot
from the Foreign Office, and the like.

[Bundle] Hm.

But it's played out.
Nobody goes there now.

You wouldn't care for it.

-You wouldn't.
-I should like to go.

-No. Bundle--
-Tonight.

No, we can't do that, Bundle.
What if the police raid the place?

[intriguing music plays]

Shall we taxi?

[sighs]

[dog barks]

Ah, good evening.

Good evening, sir. Welcome back.

Alfred?

Good evening, Lady Eileen.

How unexpected it is to see you here.

Are you not still at Chimneys?
Alfred is one of our footmen.

Was. I left only recently,

after that dreadful business
with Mr. Wade.

I was not aware.

Had a disagreement with your mother.

What sort of disagreement?

I felt that I should be paid.

She wasn't convinced.

She didn't mention it.

Are you, um… you sure
that you have the right place here?

Yes.

There are a great many other clubs
I could recommend.

This one… may, uh,
not be what you're used to.

Let us hope not.

[band plays upbeat jazzy music
faintly from inside]

-[lively chattering]
-[jazz music continues loudly]

[jazz vocalist sings indistinctly]

[people exclaim and laugh]

You said this place was over.

It's packed to the rafters.

Must be having a resurgence. [chuckles]

[band plays "Everybody Loves My Baby"]

♪ Everybody loves my baby ♪

♪ But my baby don't love nobody but me ♪

[ominous music plays]

[Bundle gasps]

[breath trembles]

[door closes]

[musical arrangement turns dramatic]

[masked figure 1] What news
concerning the death of Ronny Devereux?

[masked figure 2]
Now registered as a tragic accident.

The police have closed the case.

[masked figure 1]
No news, then. Well done.

We must address our main concern,

securing Dr. Matip's formula.

It is essential it does not end up
in the wrong hands.

[masked figure 2] We understand
the formula is to be the focus

of a gathering at Wyvern Abbey.

[masked figure 1] Then, Seven,
given your success with Devereux,

it must fall to you to attend Wyvern Abbey
and ensure a successful outcome.

Nothing and no one must stand in our way.

[masked figure 2] Good luck, Seven.

[music intensifies]

[door closes]

[Bundle] It was like nothing
I have ever known.

[Jimmy] A masked group? In a London club?

I realize it sounds incredible.

I'm not quite so sure.

You know what you found, Bundle?

A secret society.
They're everywhere these days.

Think these could be the chaps
who did for Gerry and Ronny?

I'm sure of it.

They even discussed
covering up Ronny's death.

The person wearing the Number Seven mask

is going to Wyvern Abbey
to steal this formula.

-Who else have you told?
-Just you.

I'm not certain
I can quite trust Bill yet,

given his Foreign Office connections.

He tried to pretend
he didn't know The Seven Dials Club.

He'd definitely been there before.

You're very wise to be cautious.

-Miss Wade, sir.
-Ah. Thank you, Stevens.

Oh, and the gentleman from Lloyds
telephoned again, sir.

Eager to converse.

Excellent news.

Uh, make a note for me to do just that.

Miss Wade, sir.

Loraine, my poor girl, how are you?

This is Lady Eileen Brent.

I'm sorry we're meeting
under such awful circumstances.

Gerry meant everything to very many of us.

Thank you.

Feel like I've been walking around
in a stupor since he died.

Yes, you're not alone in that.

I'm sorry we haven't met before.

Were you and Gerry close?

Yes, we'd become very close.

We shared a father, but separate mothers.

I was raised in Italy
and only came back a year ago.

Feel like I've been swindled
out of my time with him. [sighs]

He talked about you a lot
the last times I saw him.

You obviously meant a great deal to him.

I hope so.

-Jimmy mentioned you'd found a letter?
-[Bundle] Yes.

It seems he started
to write it to you the night he died.

Can I ask… do you know what he means
when he mentions Seven Dials?

[scoffs]

I'd mentioned going to the club there.

He got rather cross,
said it was no place for a girl like me.

Still don't know why.
Suppose he was just being protective.

Or he knew of that secret society
you stumbled across.

Secret society?

-Jimmy, all this is not for dissemination.
-[Jimmy] Um, yes.

-Loraine Wade, wipe it from your memory.
-It's too late now.

Sorry. Uh…

[Jimmy inhales sharply]

I keep wondering

if Ronny and Gerry were murdered
because they knew something

about this secret society
from their work at the Foreign Office.

And the society's leader, Number Seven,
is going to be at Wyvern Abbey.

I believe he may have killed
both Gerry and Ronny,

and may even kill again.

Well, then we can't let you go alone.

Um, uh…

Can we get Bill Eversleigh
to procure me an invitation?

Ooh! I'm sure if he describes me
as a rich young man

anxious to stand for Parliament,
Lomax will fall at once.

I should like to be there too.

[Jimmy] Um, that is neither desirable
nor advisable.

You're far too precious to place at risk.

Three of us trying to secure an invite
might look rather suspicious.

And I still need to gain an invite myself.

So I'm just to go home and wait?

[Jimmy] It's safer that way.

And speaking of safe…

[service bell rings]

I think this time there should be
some casualties on the other side.

Ah, Stevens.

Could you go out and buy me a pistol?

I'm feeling rather bloodthirsty
this morning.

What kind of pistol
would you be requiring, sir?

Um…

One that shoots bullets with alacrity

and has a very stylish handle.

[mysterious music plays]

Good luck inveigling a Wyvern invite
from Sir George Lomax.

[alarm clock ticks]

[alarm clock rings]

Lady Eileen.
Well, this is an unexpected delight.

Mr. Lomax, I've heard
that you are convening a gathering

at Wyvern Abbey. Is that correct?

How did you come by that information?

Lady Eileen, I implore you
not to circulate this further.

Our national interests are at stake,

and the success of the gathering
depends upon absolute secrecy.

I'm sorry.

[groans] It's already causing me
untold anxiety.

Given her experience at social gatherings,

my mother wishes to offer
whatever advice might prove helpful

in the establishment
and the etiquette of the weekend.

Your mother is offering help?

How uncharacteristic.

Yes, we are all very surprised.

But in truth,

the timing could not be more fortuitous.

Yes, please.

Tell your mother
I shall be over tout de suite.

À bientôt, Lady--

[suspenseful music playing]

[clock strikes]

Ma?

Shh.

Why are you hiding there?

We have an intruder.

-How did he get in?
-Tredwell admitted him.

-When you say "intruder…"
-Mmm.

…do you actually mean visitor?

-See no difference.
-Oh, for goodness' sake.

-By the way…
-Hmm?

-When did Alfred leave?
-Alfred?

One of the footmen.

Never had an Alfred.

Yes, we have.
He was here for a couple of years.

Hmm. Well, ask Tredwell.

I already have.

He said it would be unthinkable for him
to discuss staffing matters with me

and to take it up with you.

Oh, no. No, no.

I leave all that to, um…

Well, I'm not sure who I leave it to,
but I absolutely leave it to someone.

Um, what are we to do about the intruder?

The visitor.

I fail to understand
why people insist on visiting.

I mean, does not the length
of the approach to this house,

does it not give them pause? Hmm?

I am pondering a moat.

Might this visitor be George Lomax?

-How do you know?
-I heard he was anxious for your advice.

Advice? Oh, Bundle, no.

It's intolerable that I'm always
placed under these pressures.

Ma, are you seriously intending
on seeing out your days isolated here?

I have seen the world, Bundle.

I did not relish it.

Pa would not approve.

Then he should have been
less insistent on dying.

With him,

I might have more interest
in navigating the world external.

You still have me.

[chuckles fondly]

Why don't I help you greet

His Majesty's permanent Undersecretary
of State for Foreign Affairs?

[whimpers]

[Lomax] Now, it is essential

that our conversation remain
strictly entre nous.

Prime Minister has entrusted me
with hosting a gathering at Wyvern Abbey,

which will prove essential

to the future security
of this, our great nation.

The venture, uh, being what, precisely?

Gaining the contractual confidence
of one Dr. Cyril Matip,

an inventor out of Cameroon.

Mmm.

[Bundle] What has he invented?

Oh. I can only apologize, Lady Eileen.

This must be entirely
of no interest to you.

No, quite the opposite.

I am hanging on your every word,
Mr. Lomax.

-Are you?
-Mm-hmm.

No. Surely not?

Dr. Matip has a patent process
that he applies to steel.

It becomes so toughened,

a thin wire is as strong as a steel bar.

And in the right hands, properly applied,

it will revolutionize
our manufacturing industry,

to say nothing of our military capability.

And in the wrong hands?

It could prove catastrophic
to our national cause.

Ergo, the prime minister's interest.

[sighs] Remarkable how quickly
you grasp the severity of it, Lady Eileen.

[chuckles]

I-- I must confess,

hosting is not my forte.

Really?

Lacking a wife, having dedicated
my entire waking life to the body politic,

I'm not as, um, au fait with the niceties
and exquisities of hosting as I might be.

Mmm. Which is why Ma has pulled out
these books for you.

-Oh!
-Have I?

-Have you?
-She has.

-She has!
-[Bundle chuckles]

Oh, my spirits are lifted.

This is…

Oh, this is the perfect tonic
after that dreadful warning letter.

A warning letter?

Forget I said that.

From who?

[mysterious music plays]

Unsigned.

It was merely marked "Seven Dials."

It warned me not to proceed,
or my well-being would be at stake.

[Lady Caterham] Really?
Well, a warning letter

presumably implies that there are rivals

vying for this invention.

Yes,

every civilized nation around the globe,

most notably our German friends.

I'm concerned the event
might be at risk of sabotage.

Should we even proceed?

Of course.

You can't be intimidated by a mere letter.

Can't I?

No. No, I can't.

I'm not a man to be cowed
by a mere blot of ink.

[chuckles proudly]
That is not George Lomax.

-You see that.
-I do. Yes, precisely.

I had no idea you were so engaged
with contemporary matters.

But politics is about
the most fascinating study there is.

If only more ladies of your age
felt the same.

Extend the vote to us, and we might.

[laughs]

What one really craves

is to witness politics from the inside.

Grand events.

Skillful statesmanship.

Then you must attend
at Wyvern Abbey as my guest.

-No!
-Yes.

-What? No?
-[Lady Caterham] Absolutely not.

Was not Mr. Lomax just…

explaining the implicit danger
in the whole event?

No, no, no. Lady Cate--
Lady Caterham, have no fear.

Lady Eileen has placed fire in my belly.

The event shall go ahead.
I look forward to hosting you.

It is a joy to see someone
so… just so wonderfully improved.

[sighs heavily]

Onwards to protection and prosperity.

Tredwell will see you out.

[clears throat]

[man yells]

-[gun fires]
-[birds squawk]

[guns fire]

[bold music plays]

[man] Go.

[bird squawks]

[guns fire repeatedly]

-[Jimmy] Well, can't hit them all.
-[Lomax] Ah!

Lady Eileen, I cannot tell you
how pleased I am you're here.

[gun fires]

May I introduce you
to Mr. James Jonathan Thesiger?

Mr. Thesiger is keen
to stand for Parliament.

A great prospect,
recommended by Mr. Eversleigh,

who is currently in the House
dotting T's and crossing I's.

Delighted.

Mr. Thesiger, charmed.

[Jimmy clears throat]

Now, of course you already know
Sir Oswald and Lady Coote.

Yes, we are already acquainted.

You shoot, I see.

Frequently.

And Bateman, of course.

Hello, Pongo.

[Lomax] We're just awaiting
our final guest.

-[Jimmy] Are you totting up the shots?
-Someone has to keep a record.

-[groans]
-Yes, Bateman.

[fires]

[Lomax] You'll be pleased to know
Scotland Yard have sent their best man

to ensure our collective safety.

[gun fires]

[gun fires]

-How… reassuring.
-[Lomax] Hey!

Say, Coote!
Did I just see you shoot with your left?

You did, indeed.

Sir Oswald is ambidextrous.

-I'm sure he can get a cream for it.
-[people laugh]

[Oswald] How do you mean, Thesiger?

[Bateman] Thesiger was attempting
to be amusing, sir.

Never understood jokes.
I mean, what are they for?

[Jimmy] Right, no. No, you're right.
Make a note to find out, will you, Pongo?

[sighs]

Damn shame about the boy Wade.

-And the India Office lad.
-[Lomax] Mmm.

-His name was Ronny.
-Ah.

Brutal business, life.

[Lomax] Um, may I, um…

Can you-- Thank you.

May I remind us all
we have a single serious purpose here.

To ensure Dr. Matip entrusts
to our great country his invention.

Now, to achieve that,
we need to be at our best.

Ah. He's here, he's here, he's here.
So, calm, calm, calm.

Everybody, best behavior. Calm. Dignified.

[intriguing music playing]

[sighs]

[car door closes]

Dr. Matip, George Lomax.

-Welcome to Wyvern Abbey.
-Thank you, Mr. Lomax.

Now, may I introduce you
to Sir Oswald and Lady Coote.

How do you do?

Mr. James Thesiger.

-How do you do?
-How do you do?

[Lomax] And Lady Eileen Brent.

Hello.

How do you do?
It's a pleasure to meet you all.

-[Bateman] More coming, sir. Right.
-[Lomax] Wow.

Right. Prepare for further slaughter.

-[man yells in distance]
-[birds squawk]

-Dr. Matip, do you shoot?
-[gun fires]

Uh, no.

Guns are… not for me.

-Ooh.
-[Oswald chuckles]

We haven't offended?

Oh, no. Um…

-Perhaps I could rest before dinner?
-Of course, of course.

We'll keep the noise down.

-No shooting!
-[gun fires]

Terrible idea, shooting.
I don't know whose it was.

Let me show you inside.

-[man yells]
-[birds warble]

[guns continue firing]

You all right, old girl?

Keeping an eye out for the identity
of this murderous Number Seven, eh?

Ronny was shot in the chest.

They're clearly at home with guns.

-[Jimmy] Everyone here is, though.
-[laughs]

I'd say Lomax is the most jumpy right now.

It seems to me that either Lomax or Coote
could be your Number Seven.

And then, of course, there's this chap.

Lady Eileen.

Mr. Thesiger.

He knows my name.
Wait, that's not a good thing, is it?

[clears throat]

I see you have ignored
all of my advice and exhortations.

I was personally invited by George Lomax.

Mmm.

Have you found out who killed Gerry Wade
or Ronny Devereux yet?

And my investigation continues.

But your--

Your presence here
simply complicates my ability to do that.

I'm merely here as a guest.

Are you indeed?

[gun fires]

[chuckles]

[grunts softly]

[sighs]

[mysterious music plays]

Oh, I say! Excellent.

Splendid performance. Who was that?

-Which Coote? It was one of you.
-It was me, Lady Coote.

[Jimmy] Lady Coote. Should have known.

[man yells]

[gun fires]

[guests chatter indistinctly]

[Jimmy and Lady Coote both speak
in overlapping conversations]

[guests laugh]

[Jimmy] What were
the final scores, Lady Maria?

[Lomax taps glass]

Now, as we're now all assembled,

I wonder, Dr. Matip,
if you would do us the honor

of telling us just a little bit
about your life and journey

to this table.

My family is from Douala,
in the southwest of Cameroon.

[Lomax] Ah. Mmm.

At the time of my birth,
Douala was a German protectorate.

My father was a village leader,

and like many of the children
from the top families,

I was sent to Germany to be educated.

Did you say Germany?

-Mmm.
-[Lomax] Were you really?

-[Matip] Mmm.
-[Lomax] Oh.

Where exactly in Germany, Dr. Matip?

I studied engineering
at the Goethe University in Frankfurt,

as well as apprenticeships in the Ruhr.

It's a very beautiful country.

And is that the extent
of your connections to Germany?

No.

-I fought for them in the war.
-[Jimmy clears throat]

You fought for the Germans?

Yes. I had no choice.

[inhales deeply] The whole of West Africa

was engulfed in battles
between Germany, France, and England.

In Cameroon, we faced troops from Nigeria,

the Belgian Congo,

French Equatorial Africa.

For more than two years,

Africans fought other Africans
on behalf of and led by…

[chuckles sadly] …white Europeans.

[Lomax] Well, then we are

grateful for all their,
and your, endeavors.

[clears throat]

I lost my entire family.

I never want to see
anything like that happen again.

[somber music playing]

You're not alone in that, Dr. Matip.

Now my country is French.

[chuckles]
Thanks to the Treaty of Versailles.

But I'm grateful to England
for affording me safe passage

and allowing me to be here with you today.

Thank you. You can now
rest easy in the knowledge

that you are now in a country
that you can trust.

Yes.

Of course.

But you would say that, wouldn't you?

[Lomax] I'm sorry?

I do not follow.

When we want someone to trust us,

we first assure them
of our trustworthiness.

But equally,
the first act of the duplicitous

is to demonstrate
how they are beyond reproach.

[Oswald] This is England.

Our word is second to none.

That's what the Germans said.

[laughs]

And the French.

If you never want to see another war,

we are your men.

-Isn't that right, Lomax?
-Absolutely.

[Oswald] Now,

I want to see this formula in action.

Did you bring a sample?

Oswald, not at the table.

Oh, hang convention.
Let the dog see the rabbit.

Do you remember the etiquette lessons?

[Oswald] Don't you agree, Lady Eileen?

Yes. I'd be fascinated to see.

[intriguing music playing]

The casing of this pocket watch

is noncorrosive, nonmagnetic metal,

made to withstand
extremely high temperatures.

This was the best way to transport it.

Since the end of the war,
this has become my life's work.

To create a metal
so impervious to destruction

that, well, war itself
would no longer have purpose.

This sample…

Can you prove it's as strong as you say?

Do you still have those shotguns?

-[gun cocks]
-[grunts softly]

[watch ticks]

-[Bundle] Are we sure this is safe?
-Sir Oswald is an excellent shot.

[Matip] Mmm.

May I?

[Matip] Yes.

[Oswald] Incredible.

The casing, barely a mark on it.

Bravo, young man.

Very impressive.

Now, there is a safe in your room to store
the formula and demonstration model.

Police officers are stationed
around the grounds.

May I suggest we all retire
after a very successful evening?

-[Oswald] Well done.
-Thank you.

[Oswald chuckles]

Good night.

Thank you.

[Lomax] Congratulations.

[guests chatter]

[ominous music plays]

[clock ticking]

[clock strikes]

[Bundle] Stay with me, Jimmy.

[Bill] Bundle. Bundle, Bundle!

What in the Lord's name
are you doing here?

You are not to get mixed up in this!

-Do you understand?
-I'm already mixed up in it!

I think whoever killed Gerry and Ronny
is here at the Abbey.

And I think they're about to steal
Dr. Matip's formula.

Now, you can either be cross with me,

or the three of us can devise a plan

to stop any theft and expose the killer.

Yeah. That's a good-- good idea.

We need to make sure no one comes in
or out of Dr. Matip's room overnight.

[suspenseful music plays]

Here is the perfect vantage point.

Anyone coming or going
will be easily spotted.

We'll divide the night into watches.

-Heads, you go first, I go second.
-Yes.

Tails, vice versa.

That's only two watches.

It's no job for a girl.
It's far too risky.

Right. Tails. I'll go first.
We switch at three.

And I'll even lend you Leopold
when the time comes.

-[Bill] Leopold?
-[gun cocks]

My new best friend.

Bundle. Why did you let him bring a gun?

I'm not his keeper.

And what about my watch?

This chap doesn't play fair.

Let us boys take the watches, okay?

Right. Everyone to our corners. Go.

[door closes]

[playfully suspenseful music plays]

[grunts determinedly]

[Bundle exclaims]

[screams]

[spits] Botheration!

[grunts]

[sighs]

Very poor class of ivy. Oh.

[tense music plays]

Dr. Matip's.

Superintendent.

You gave me a fright.

That is precisely what I am here for,
Lady Eileen.

What are you doing out here?

Ensuring that no one is about
who shouldn't be.

May I ask what you are doing out here?

-Me?
-Yes, you.

Do you normally exit buildings
via the window?

Uh…

Depends on the building.

I was looking for the west terrace.

-Oh, the west terrace?
-Mm-hmm.

Well, the west terrace is my purview,

so may I encourage you to return to bed?

And when I say "encourage,"

you may take that
as a direct instruction or order,

should that be more effective.

How long have you worked
at Scotland Yard, Superintendent?

[Battle] I shall provide you

with a full professional history
at a later point.

But you are causing
a distraction at a vital juncture

and are therefore
running the risk of arrest

unless you do as I ask immediately.

Please.

-Back up the ivy?
-Oh, yeah. What's left of it, if you can.

Of course I can.

Very easily.

[leaves rustle]

[suspenseful music building]

[music fades out]

[door creaks open]

[eerie music plays]

Where's our watchman?

[knocking at door]

[clock ticking]

[softly] Bill.

Dash it all.

Bill, wake up. Jimmy's deserted his post.

Boys?

[glass shatters in distance]

-[object clatters]
-[man yells]

-[object clatters nearby]
-Bill?

-[man grunts]
-Jimmy?

[objects clatter]

Jimmy, is that you?

[gun fires]

-[banging]
-No! Jimmy!

-[grunts]
-[gun fires]

-Quick!
-[Lomax] What on earth is going on?

-[Lady Coote] Gracious. What's going on?
-Hoskins!

[all exclaim]

-Jimmy.
-[Bill] Bundle.
