The boys were sent home. 599 01:12:55,413 --> 01:12:57,700 The school closed down. 600 01:13:02,128 --> 01:13:04,540 Michael was very badly burned. 601 01:13:07,091 --> 01:13:11,085 And for weeks they thought he was going to die. 602 01:13:11,178 --> 01:13:14,546 To start with, he just lay there moaning. 603 01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:18,929 Calling out the names of the boys who slept in the dormitory over the fire. 604 01:13:23,941 --> 01:13:26,808 Those who had died. 605 01:13:30,531 --> 01:13:34,900 That's how I met Michael. 606 01:13:34,994 --> 01:13:37,782 At the hospital, you see. I worked there. 607 01:13:40,041 --> 01:13:44,581 - Did you? - Yes, I was a medical student then. 608 01:13:44,670 --> 01:13:47,628 I used to take holiday jobs in various hospitals. 609 01:13:50,009 --> 01:13:55,254 Anyway, we became friendly and he grew to rely on me more and more. 610 01:13:55,348 --> 01:13:58,466 So much so, in fact, that when it was time for him to go home, 611 01:13:58,559 --> 01:14:01,642 his wife asked me if I'd go along with them and look after him. 612 01:14:01,729 --> 01:14:04,471 Permanently. 613 01:14:04,565 --> 01:14:06,852 I accepted. 614 01:14:06,943 --> 01:14:09,901 Not just because the money was so good, but... 615 01:14:17,495 --> 01:14:21,955 I really thought that I could help him. 616 01:14:22,041 --> 01:14:27,957 So, when he came back here, he had all traces of the fire removed. 617 01:14:28,047 --> 01:14:32,041 He started to run the place as if it was still a school. 618 01:14:32,134 --> 01:14:35,377 And now, everything is exactly as it used to be. 619 01:14:35,471 --> 01:14:38,930 Except no one ever comes here. 620 01:14:39,016 --> 01:14:45,388 No boys, no masters, no parents. Nothing. 621 01:14:45,481 --> 01:14:51,568 He's even fixed up recordings in every room, so that at least things will sound the same. 622 01:14:51,654 --> 01:14:55,443 But he just walks about. 623 01:14:55,533 --> 01:14:57,490 Playing at being headmaster. 624 01:15:13,300 --> 01:15:15,382 And I play his game with him. 625 01:15:22,685 --> 01:15:25,894 You see, he relies on me totally. 626 01:15:25,980 --> 01:15:30,895 That's why it was so stupid of me not to understand. You see... 627 01:15:30,985 --> 01:15:33,647 When I first mentioned you to him, 628 01:15:33,738 --> 01:15:37,197 he asked me questions about you like, where you lived in London. 629 01:15:37,283 --> 01:15:40,901 What you did. What you looked like. When you were coming down here. 630 01:15:40,995 --> 01:15:44,454 I dismissed the possibility that perhaps he resented you. 631 01:15:44,540 --> 01:15:48,078 Perhaps because I needed you so much. 632 01:15:48,169 --> 01:15:53,380 You can see now why I was so anxious to find out what happened here last night. 633 01:15:53,466 --> 01:15:55,503 He still needs my help. 634 01:15:59,847 --> 01:16:03,090 Is that all you have to tell me? 635 01:16:03,184 --> 01:16:08,520 Yes. Except that your safety means more to me than anything. 636 01:16:08,606 --> 01:16:12,315 I hate myself for not taking you seriously when you told me you'd been attacked. 637 01:16:12,401 --> 01:16:16,486 But I just couldn't believe that he was the one who tried to strangle you in London. 638 01:16:18,866 --> 01:16:22,734 So you see, Peg, if anything's happened here, 639 01:16:22,828 --> 01:16:26,537 anything at all, you must tell me. 640 01:16:26,624 --> 01:16:28,615 Do you understand? 641 01:16:31,462 --> 01:16:33,419 Did he attack you? 642 01:16:35,424 --> 01:16:37,290 Did you shoot him? 643 01:16:43,224 --> 01:16:48,640 - Then where is he? - I don't know. 644 01:17:01,617 --> 01:17:03,733 - Maybe, she didn't kill him. - Of course, she did. 645 01:17:03,828 --> 01:17:07,787 The gun's been fired and there's blood all over the place. That part worked perfectly. 646 01:17:07,873 --> 01:17:09,864 It's what happened afterwards that's gone wrong. 647 01:17:09,959 --> 01:17:15,170 She should've called the police this time. 648 01:17:15,256 --> 01:17:18,169 Perhaps she thought that they wouldn't believe her. 649 01:17:18,259 --> 01:17:20,796 Hasn't she asked you why you haven't called them? 650 01:17:23,055 --> 01:17:25,171 That would look pretty stupid, wouldn't it? 651 01:17:25,266 --> 01:17:30,386 You calling the police and telling them that you think your wife killed my husband. 652 01:17:30,479 --> 01:17:34,723 Let's face it, Robert. We're back where we started. 653 01:17:34,859 --> 01:17:38,022 Not quite. I've got a wife now. 654 01:17:39,738 --> 01:17:44,357 Well, that was your idea. Why do you have to be so devious? 655 01:17:44,451 --> 01:17:47,694 Why couldn't you just have taken him out into the woods and shot him yourself? 656 01:17:47,830 --> 01:17:51,824 I've told you before! If there's a killing, we must have a killer. 657 01:17:51,917 --> 01:17:54,659 If we made it look like an accident, they'd come round asking a lot of questions. 658 01:17:54,753 --> 01:17:57,745 Our way, we provide the killer. The real killer. 659 01:17:57,840 --> 01:17:59,922 Then we're in the clear. 660 01:18:00,009 --> 01:18:03,001 Our Way's beginning to look a little sick now, don't you think? 661 01:18:03,137 --> 01:18:08,723 - It'll still work once we find the body. - If we find the body. 662 01:18:08,809 --> 01:18:12,552 - What are you going to do if we don't? - We've got to. 663 01:18:12,646 --> 01:18:16,765 Either we find it or we get her to tell us what she's done with it. 664 01:18:22,072 --> 01:18:26,817 Is she normal? This cute little wife of yours. 665 01:18:26,911 --> 01:18:31,826 Of course, she's normal. She's the most normal person I've ever met. 666 01:18:31,916 --> 01:18:36,626 The trouble with you is you have been seeing too much of your husband. 667 01:18:36,712 --> 01:18:39,329 She certainly is behaving in a most peculiar way 668 01:18:39,423 --> 01:18:42,916 for such a normal human being. 669 01:18:43,010 --> 01:18:44,876 What's she going to do and say 670 01:18:44,970 --> 01:18:47,507 when you find Michael's body and hand her over to the police? 671 01:18:47,598 --> 01:18:50,556 It doesn't matter what she says. Nobody will believe her. 672 01:18:50,643 --> 01:18:52,634 Any more than they'll believe that she was attacked by a man 673 01:18:52,728 --> 01:18:55,265 with an artificial arm on two other occasions. 674 01:18:55,356 --> 01:18:58,144 Did you enjoy that bit, Robert? I did. 675 01:18:59,526 --> 01:19:02,234 Oh, I did. 676 01:19:02,321 --> 01:19:05,814 When I heard her talking to you on the phone, 677 01:19:05,908 --> 01:19:08,149 "I love you too, darling." 678 01:19:10,162 --> 01:19:13,575 Yes, Mrs Beamish has just gone. 679 01:19:13,666 --> 01:19:15,782 I love you too, darling. 680 01:19:16,835 --> 01:19:22,672 Your pretty little brand-new wife.

I did it for you. 683 01:19:34,270 --> 01:19:36,978 Even when I was struggling with her, I was thinking of you. 684 01:19:37,106 --> 01:19:42,852 You and your husband and his damn money. I wish now we'd left things as they were. 685 01:19:42,945 --> 01:19:45,653 I love you. 686 01:19:45,739 --> 01:19:50,779 - Where are you going? - To make her tell the truth. 687 01:20:04,925 --> 01:20:10,045 You like it? It's not quite right yet. 688 01:20:10,139 --> 01:20:15,179 I don't seem to be able to get the right simpering expression. 689 01:20:16,812 --> 01:20:19,850 Next time I'll use the hand with the knife. 690 01:20:22,609 --> 01:20:23,724 Oh. 691 01:20:23,819 --> 01:20:27,028 Don't look to your tender loving husband for help. 692 01:20:30,909 --> 01:20:34,447 Tell us what happened. I don't want you to get hurt. 693 01:20:34,580 --> 01:20:37,698 Oh, I do. 694 01:20:37,791 --> 01:20:42,501 Robert's a little bit squeamish, my dear. But I assure you that I have no such scruples. 695 01:20:42,588 --> 01:20:46,627 Now, I shall ask you one more time. Where is he? 696 01:20:46,717 --> 01:20:48,708 I don't know. 697 01:20:48,844 --> 01:20:51,302 No marks. 698 01:21:11,617 --> 01:21:15,485 "I have done a terrible thing. I have killed Michael. 699 01:21:15,579 --> 01:21:19,538 "I won't try to explain or justify it except to say we were lovers 700 01:21:19,666 --> 01:21:24,035 "and we quarrelled. I see no other way out now." 701 01:21:24,129 --> 01:21:26,837 Hmm. Very dramatic. Full of just the right clichés. 702 01:21:29,343 --> 01:21:34,463 - Copy her signature from that. - Oh, no, darling. I'm no forger. 703 01:21:34,598 --> 01:21:40,014 Neither am I, but you're a woman. A woman can do it better than a man. 704 01:21:40,104 --> 01:21:45,440 - Is that the reason? - What other reason could there be? 705 01:21:45,526 --> 01:21:51,647 Couldn't it be that you just wanted me a little more involved, as a sort of insurance policy? 706 01:21:51,740 --> 01:21:54,152 You're involved up to here already, my pet. 707 01:21:58,080 --> 01:22:00,538 Since you haven't been able to find Michael, 708 01:22:00,624 --> 01:22:03,286 what makes you think that the police are going to be able to? 709 01:22:03,377 --> 01:22:07,166 They're experts. Michael's here somewhere, either dead or dying. 710 01:22:09,341 --> 01:22:14,802 - I'll make a deal with you, Robert. - What? 711 01:22:14,888 --> 01:22:18,882 I'll find Michael. And if he's still alive, I'll kill him. 712 01:22:20,769 --> 01:22:22,806 If you sign this. 713 01:22:25,149 --> 01:22:30,269 - How do you think you'll find him? - She knows something. 714 01:22:30,404 --> 01:22:32,771 And I intend to find out what it is. 715 01:22:35,451 --> 01:22:40,161 - All right, but she mustn't be marked. - Leave that to me. 716 01:22:40,247 --> 01:22:42,284 I'm a woman, remember? 717 01:22:42,374 --> 01:22:45,583 I'm gonna find something that will mark her a little, 718 01:22:45,669 --> 01:22:47,706 but hurt her a lot. 719 01:23:24,958 --> 01:23:28,792 I suppose you'd have left this on a mantelpiece somewhere. 720 01:23:28,879 --> 01:23:31,462 They'll just have to find it on you. 721 01:23:34,009 --> 01:23:37,468 Peggy, you've got one last chance. 722 01:23:37,554 --> 01:23:42,048 If you tell us everything. If you tell us where Michael is now, you'll be all right. 723 01:23:43,018 --> 01:23:46,761 We'll simply phone the police and they'll put you back in hospital somewhere. 724 01:23:46,855 --> 01:23:49,768 For the future, who knows? Maybe they'll let you out. 725 01:23:52,736 --> 01:23:54,818 Do you want to tell me? 726 01:23:57,991 --> 01:24:01,325 You're a fool, Peggy. 727 01:24:01,453 --> 01:24:06,448 I promise you something, when Molly gets back here, you'll tell us. 728 01:24:06,542 --> 01:24:08,783 You'll tell us everything you know. 729 01:24:08,877 --> 01:24:10,868 And when you've done that, you'll start making things up. 730 01:24:10,963 --> 01:24:13,079 You'll say anything to stop her from hurting you. 731 01:24:23,267 --> 01:24:26,885 Come on. Up. Outside. Move! 732 01:25:45,891 --> 01:25:50,727 Good evening, Robert. I've been waiting here to welcome you. 733 01:25:53,231 --> 01:25:59,318 I hope that gun isn't loaded. If it went off, it would waken the boys. 734 01:25:59,404 --> 01:26:04,194 You know I couldn't allow that. They need their sleep, you see. 735 01:26:04,284 --> 01:26:06,275 The pressure of exams. 736 01:26:09,081 --> 01:26:12,369 Where are you, Michael? 737 01:26:12,459 --> 01:26:16,453 You know perfectly well I wouldn't carry a loaded gun in the school. 738 01:26:16,546 --> 01:26:21,336 How stupid of me. I'd forgotten. You've always had the boys' welfare at heart. 739 01:26:22,427 --> 01:26:27,968 I think, Robert, that given time, you might have made a very good schoolmaster. 740 01:26:28,058 --> 01:26:32,894 The boys liked you. And I believe you liked them. 741 01:26:45,200 --> 01:26:48,784 Are you here? Speak to him. 742 01:26:52,290 --> 01:26:54,201 Tell him to come down and talk to us. 743 01:26:56,461 --> 01:27:00,079 Are you looking for my wife? 744 01:27:00,173 --> 01:27:04,383 You've been seeing far too much of each other lately. 745 01:27:04,469 --> 01:27:07,678 I'm always afraid the parents will get to hear about it. 746 01:27:07,764 --> 01:27:11,928 It's surprising what boys write about in their letters home. 747 01:27:12,018 --> 01:27:16,182 The boys, Headmaster, can hear every word you say. 748 01:27:16,314 --> 01:27:18,772 Can they? 749 01:27:18,859 --> 01:27:22,818 Why not come down into the hall? We can talk things over quietly. 750 01:27:22,904 --> 01:27:26,772 But I am in the hall. 751 01:27:26,867 --> 01:27:30,235 Ah, that's better. Now, we can see where we are. 752 01:27:34,875 --> 01:27:36,912 Where's Molly? 753 01:27:37,002 --> 01:27:39,369 She's right beside me. 754 01:27:39,463 --> 01:27:43,923 Where all good wives should be. In their husband's hour of need. 755 01:27:44,009 --> 01:27:47,718 Or is this your hour of need, Robert? 756 01:27:47,804 --> 01:27:50,421 I've been watching you two for a long time. 757 01:27:50,515 --> 01:27:52,847 Did you think I didn't notice on the occasions 758 01:27:52,934 --> 01:27:55,722 when you stole away into the woods together? 759 01:27:55,812 --> 01:28:02,650 I heard you talking. Planning everything. And you very nearly succeeded, didn't you? 760 01:28:02,736 --> 01:28:05,694 Yes. We did. 761 01:28:05,822 --> 01:28:08,484 Yes, you nearly succeeded. 762 01:28:08,575 --> 01:28:12,318 But I must tell you, Robert, all the best murderers check their weapons. 763 01:28:12,412 --> 01:28:15,780 The gun you so cunningly persuaded poor Peggy to keep with her 764 01:28:15,916 --> 01:28:21,127 was loaded with blanks. I'd removed the shot, you see. 765 01:28:21,213 --> 01:28:23,454 Not this time. 766 01:28:23,548 --> 01:28:26,666 And she tried to shoot me just as you wanted her to. 767 01:28:28,887 --> 01:28:33,256 I only wanted to talk to her. You know that now, don't you, my dear? 768 01:28:35,227 --> 01:28:37,218 There was a rabbit in the larder. 769 01:28:37,312 --> 01:28:41,601 I spilt some of its blood on the floor and made it look as if she had shot me. 770 01:28:41,691 --> 01:28:45,935 When you saw it, I knew you would do something foolish 771 01:28:46,029 --> 01:28:48,020 and you did. 772 01:28:51,159 --> 01:28:53,901 And now, you've done it again. 773 01:28:56,456 --> 01:28:58,743 You want to be very careful. 774 01:29:07,259 --> 01:29:09,921 But not a third time, Michael. 775 01:29:10,011 --> 01:29:14,130 I might have known you'd use your ridiculous electric gadget to speak through. 776 01:29:16,560 --> 01:29:20,303 Say goodbye to the boys, Headmaster. 777 01:29:20,438 --> 01:29:22,520 It's the end of term. 778 01:30:06,359 --> 01:30:09,602 Bastard! Where are you? 779 01:30:09,696 --> 01:30:13,906 Show your face, you mad bastard! 780 01:30:13,992 --> 01:30:17,280 You... I'll find you! 781 01:30:19,998 --> 01:30:22,080 I'll find you! 782 01:30:50,612 --> 01:30:55,652 I'll find you. I'll come back and I'll find you. 783 01:30:55,784 --> 01:30:58,776 And if I don't, I'll burn this place down round your ears. 784 01:31:12,467 --> 01:31:15,710 I'll find you! 785 01:32:12,444 --> 01:32:14,606 Someone up ahead, sir. 786 01:32:19,367 --> 01:32:21,654 Are you all right, miss? 787 01:32:21,786 --> 01:32:24,619 We got a call, miss. There's been some trouble. 788 01:32:24,706 --> 01:32:28,745 Is Mr Carmichael there, miss. I think it was him who called us. 789 01:32:28,835 --> 01:32:33,204 Yes, he's there. It's the start of a new term. 790 01:32:33,298 --> 01:32:35,881 It can't be that, miss. This place has been closed for years. 791 01:32:35,967 --> 01:32:38,550 We understood Mr Carmichael was running it as a private house.
