They don't get lighter.
4
00:01:58,269 --> 00:02:00,589
Buy your newspaper!
5
00:02:01,949 --> 00:02:03,629
All the latest news.
6
00:02:05,589 --> 00:02:07,469
Buy your newspaper!
7
00:02:22,189 --> 00:02:23,349
Are you lost, love?
8
00:02:24,940 --> 00:02:25,980
158?
9
00:02:26,540 --> 00:02:27,980
It's right there, honey.
10
00:02:29,269 --> 00:02:30,269
Thanks.
11
00:02:38,989 --> 00:02:40,869
Buy your newspaper!

00:02:44,063 --> 00:02:46,704
BOOKS - BOOKSTORE
13
00:03:02,260 --> 00:03:03,702
Grab this, will you?
14
00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:10,940
What do you think?
15
00:03:12,700 --> 00:03:14,379
- It looks old.
- And it is.
16
00:03:14,380 --> 00:03:16,244
Reasonably indifferent Jacobean poetry.

00:03:16,245 --> 00:03:18,565
Bound in leather. It's worth two bucks.
18
00:03:19,700 --> 00:03:21,540
What are these spots
chestnuts on the pages?
19
00:03:22,328 --> 00:03:24,968
Get right to the heart of the matter, sir...
20
00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:26,260
Jack.
21
00:03:26,580 --> 00:03:27,580
Just Jack.
22
00:03:28,620 --> 00:03:31,060
This is called foxing, Jack Just Jack.
23
00:03:31,500 --> 00:03:33,340
That's what time does to books.
24
00:03:33,900 --> 00:03:35,100
To all of us.
25
00:03:35,527 --> 00:03:38,460
In the profession we say slightly foxed.
Interested?
26
00:03:40,420 --> 00:03:41,820
You know, there's a mistake.
27
00:03:42,780 --> 00:03:43,980
An error?
28
00:03:44,980 --> 00:03:46,420
Well, isn't there?
29
00:03:47,100 --> 00:03:48,699
Above the door, the sign.
30
00:03:48,700 --> 00:03:49,980
What do you have?
31
00:03:50,580 --> 00:03:52,180
Well, it's wrong, isn't it?
32
00:03:52,980 --> 00:03:54,300
There is no apostrophe in books.
33
00:03:54,435 --> 00:03:55,619
- There is.
- No, there isn't.
34
00:03:55,620 --> 00:03:56,619
- There is.
- There isn't.
35
00:03:56,620 --> 00:03:57,579
- Yes there is.
- No, no.
36
00:03:57,580 --> 00:04:00,634
There is, if your name is Book and you own the store,
what is and am.
37
00:04:00,635 --> 00:04:01,699
My name is Book.
38
00:04:01,700 --> 00:04:02,859
Book's books.
39
00:04:02,860 --> 00:04:04,180
Confusing, I know.
40
00:04:04,300 --> 00:04:06,220
Or will it work?
I can never decide.
41
00:04:06,540 --> 00:04:08,379
Anyway,
I'm Book and I own a bookstore.
42
00:04:08,380 --> 00:04:10,820
This one, obviously.
He must be here because of his job.
43
00:04:11,260 --> 00:04:12,431
Tea?
44
00:04:28,100 --> 00:04:29,620
They're not yet.
45
00:04:32,700 --> 00:04:34,540
I'm trying to make gingerbread cookies.
46
00:04:35,740 --> 00:04:37,099
As?
47
00:04:37,100 --> 00:04:38,259
Where did they dig it up from?
48
00:04:38,260 --> 00:04:40,460
One for each person and one for the pot.
49
00:04:44,340 --> 00:04:45,660
Now...
50
00:04:47,380 --> 00:04:49,740
Where are we, Jack Just Jack?
51
00:04:50,060 --> 00:04:51,500
This is Dog.
52
00:04:52,100 --> 00:04:54,780
Book. Dog. Work.
53
00:04:55,220 --> 00:04:56,979
I have a little hobby on the side,
54
00:04:56,980 --> 00:05:00,059
and I found that it takes me away
more and more time in the store.
55
00:05:00,060 --> 00:05:02,300
So... I need help.
56
00:05:13,140 --> 00:05:14,221
Oh,
57
00:05:14,768 --> 00:05:15,807
God.
58
00:05:18,460 --> 00:05:19,900
Oh, that's better.
59
00:05:20,220 --> 00:05:21,499
I have to drink tea.
60
00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:24,380
No tea,
I am merely unreconstituted dust.
61
00:05:30,220 --> 00:05:32,220
Listen, this isn't really my thing.
62
00:05:32,780 --> 00:05:35,459
I mean, I thought they were going to me
send it to a factory, or something.
63
00:05:35,460 --> 00:05:36,460
They?
64
00:05:38,140 --> 00:05:40,380
Well, you know where I come from, don't you?
65
00:05:41,261 --> 00:05:42,534
You know I've been...
66
00:05:42,535 --> 00:05:44,055
We don't need to talk about that again.
67
00:05:44,606 --> 00:05:47,566
What do you expect now that you've achieved it?
the job, Jack Just Jack?
68
00:05:47,846 --> 00:05:49,485
I just want to keep my head down.
69
00:05:49,486 --> 00:05:51,726
You know, trying to get back to normal...
70
00:05:51,886 --> 00:05:53,285
Wait, did I get the job?
71
00:05:53,286 --> 00:05:55,006
Normality is overrated.
72
00:05:55,166 --> 00:05:56,686
Yes, he got the job.
73
00:05:57,046 --> 00:05:58,046
If you want.
74
00:05:59,046 --> 00:06:01,578
Honey, you have to come right away!
75
00:06:02,968 --> 00:06:05,287
Trottie, this is Jack Just Jack.
76
00:06:05,406 --> 00:06:07,326
Jack, this is Trottie, my wife.
77
00:06:08,246 --> 00:06:09,486
Hello.
78
00:06:10,258 --> 00:06:11,964
- Hello.
- Well, what's going on?
79
00:06:11,965 --> 00:06:12,999
The bomb site.
80
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,591
The men who are cleaning the place of
bomb where Inkerman Street used to be?
81
00:06:15,592 --> 00:06:17,325
Oh, yes, that one.
What it was?
82
00:06:17,326 --> 00:06:18,966
Well, they found something.
83
00:06:19,446 --> 00:06:22,326
In suspicious circumstances.
84
00:06:23,766 --> 00:06:26,006
My favorite kind of circumstances.
85
00:07:15,436 --> 00:07:18,304
POISON
86
00:07:30,214 --> 00:07:32,134
SLIGHTLY FOXED
87
00:07:33,437 --> 00:07:35,681
PART ONE
88
00:07:56,020 --> 00:07:58,045
I was wondering if we were going to see him.
89
00:07:58,046 --> 00:07:59,445
I'm like a bad penny, Sergeant.
90
00:07:59,446 --> 00:08:00,766
Yes, you already know what I think.
91
00:08:01,006 --> 00:08:02,499
You made it perfectly explicit.
92
00:08:02,500 --> 00:08:04,085
But as you know, I have a...
93
00:08:04,086 --> 00:08:05,766
special letter from Churchill.
94
00:08:05,966 --> 00:08:06,966
Yes.
95
00:08:13,726 --> 00:08:17,324
Oh, hello, Book. Mrs. Book.
I thought this might interest you.
96
00:08:17,325 --> 00:08:18,459
And he thought it was great.
97
00:08:18,460 --> 00:08:20,646
Start at the beginning, inspector,
and leave nothing unsaid.
98
00:08:20,647 --> 00:08:23,310
Especially if it is lewd, bloody,
or vaguely scandalous.
99
00:08:23,311 --> 00:08:24,311
It's a puzzle.
100
00:08:24,406 --> 00:08:26,920
Here Mr. Baseheart was there
start clearing the rubble
101
00:08:26,921 --> 00:08:28,485
of this former site of a
bomb the other day.
102
00:08:28,486 --> 00:08:31,430
Inkerman Street was bombed in '44,
wasn't it?
103
00:08:31,431 --> 00:08:33,391
Yes sir. Completely devastated.
104
00:08:33,806 --> 00:08:35,246
Remember that bombing?
105
00:08:35,340 --> 00:08:36,407
How could I forget?
106
00:08:36,408 --> 00:08:38,285
Trottie and I ended up empty handed
107
00:08:38,286 --> 00:08:39,685
at the Anderson shelter
108
00:08:39,686 --> 00:08:41,965
with the Company man
of Prudential Insurance.
109
00:08:41,966 --> 00:08:43,526
He had beautiful nails.
110
00:08:43,660 --> 00:08:45,180
And terrible halitosis.
111
00:08:45,357 --> 00:08:47,286
Those shelters were not
built to share.
112
00:08:47,526 --> 00:08:49,579
The war is over, Mr. Baseheart.
113
00:08:49,580 --> 00:08:52,620
You're right.
But I still like patrolling my route.
114
00:08:53,006 --> 00:08:54,485
For old times' sake.
115
00:08:54,486 --> 00:08:56,845
And to keep my old
Brenda kept an eye on.
116
00:08:56,846 --> 00:08:58,606
My loyal search focus.
117
00:08:59,406 --> 00:09:01,685
Well,
here he was trying to clear the rubble,
118
00:09:01,686 --> 00:09:03,245
When, dammit, what do you find?
119
00:09:03,246 --> 00:09:04,566
Pimba, what?
120
00:09:13,486 --> 00:09:15,006
I believe, my Lady.
121
00:09:15,940 --> 00:09:18,659
Thrown down like a
skeleton salad. How many are there?
122
00:09:18,660 --> 00:09:20,644
It's hard to say,
because they are all mixed up.
123
00:09:20,740 --> 00:09:22,059
Ten or twelve, it seems to me.
124
00:09:22,060 --> 00:09:23,962
Why Mr. Baseheart
not notifying the authorities
125
00:09:23,963 --> 00:09:26,803
about your discovery
immediately is another matter.
126
00:09:26,924 --> 00:09:28,179
- Didn't you warn?
- No.
127
00:09:28,180 --> 00:09:30,060
There were some kids who were
playing here they told us.
128
00:09:30,061 --> 00:09:32,419
As I was saying, I have a theory.
129
00:09:32,420 --> 00:09:35,460
Well, obviously they got caught
by the bombing, right?
130
00:09:35,980 --> 00:09:37,420
What do you think, Jack?
131
00:09:38,117 --> 00:09:39,236
- I?
- You.
132
00:09:44,740 --> 00:09:46,620
Yes, that must have been it.
133
00:09:47,420 --> 00:09:48,820
The bombing killed them.
134
00:09:49,700 --> 00:09:53,377
They died two years ago and
they are now decomposed.
135
00:09:53,378 --> 00:09:55,337
That would be a logical deduction.
136
00:09:55,338 --> 00:09:56,538
Who is this?
137
00:09:56,978 --> 00:09:58,931
So, don't you think they have
died in a bombing?
138
00:09:59,020 --> 00:10:02,500
If you remember correctly, Inkerman Street already
It was empty, wasn't it, Mr. Baseheart?
139
00:10:02,698 --> 00:10:04,539
Scheduled for demolition.
140
00:10:04,540 --> 00:10:06,940
So no one lived here.
Therefore...
141
00:10:07,060 --> 00:10:09,860
- Who are they?
- Well, they are someone, for sure.
142
00:10:10,460 --> 00:10:13,697
Anyone could have taken shelter from the
bombing in one of the empty houses.
143
00:10:13,698 --> 00:10:15,530
A dozen people? And the clothes?
144
00:10:15,620 --> 00:10:16,689
Clothing?
145
00:10:16,690 --> 00:10:18,420
"All flesh is grass."
146
00:10:18,660 --> 00:10:20,300
The bombing was only two years ago.
147
00:10:20,418 --> 00:10:22,217
Even if the bodies
had decomposed,
148
00:10:22,218 --> 00:10:23,652
the clothes would still be intact.
149
00:10:23,740 --> 00:10:26,140
I think Mr. Baseheart
and I'm thinking...
150
00:10:27,100 --> 00:10:28,700
in a similar way.
151
00:10:37,208 --> 00:10:38,448
Well...
152
00:10:39,264 --> 00:10:41,245
this seems to be proof.
153
00:10:41,444 --> 00:10:42,724
What do you think?
154
00:10:45,831 --> 00:10:48,541
The unmistakable profile of King Charles II.
155
00:10:48,660 --> 00:10:50,420
Do you also have a date?
156
00:10:51,938 --> 00:10:54,578
1665.
157
00:10:55,218 --> 00:10:56,738
A plague grave?
158
00:10:57,178 --> 00:10:58,618
That's what it looks like.
159
00:10:58,780 --> 00:10:59,980
A what?
160
00:10:59,981 --> 00:11:02,444
A plague grave. From the Great Plague.
161
00:11:02,777 --> 00:11:05,419
London cemeteries were full,
162
00:11:05,420 --> 00:11:07,899
therefore they dug these great ditches
163
00:11:07,900 --> 00:11:09,700
and threw the bodies inside.
164
00:11:09,810 --> 00:11:13,087
I... I have an archaeologist streak.
165
00:11:13,460 --> 00:11:16,260
As a hobby.
Purely amateur, as you will understand.
166
00:11:16,580 --> 00:11:19,230
So why didn't you tell us
nothing so you found them?
167
00:11:19,611 --> 00:11:23,138
Well, I... I knew I would never again
would have an opportunity like this.
168
00:11:23,731 --> 00:11:26,211
I just wish I had some time to dig.
169
00:11:27,340 --> 00:11:28,980
It's fascinating.
170
00:11:31,277 --> 00:11:33,956
I'm really sorry, Inspector.
171
00:11:34,178 --> 00:11:36,562
Yeah, well, I guess it's okay.
172
00:11:36,664 --> 00:11:38,024
I'm not so sure.
173
00:11:38,178 --> 00:11:40,339
These skeletons may still be active.
174
00:11:40,340 --> 00:11:42,711
What do you mean?
Can they still be contagious?
175
00:11:42,712 --> 00:11:45,032
The jury, as they say, will deliberate.
176
00:11:45,118 --> 00:11:46,579
But it seems very unlikely to me.
177
00:11:46,580 --> 00:11:48,185
Do you mind if I keep this?
178
00:11:48,420 --> 00:11:50,449
- Please.
- How are you, Mr. Book?
179
00:11:50,540 --> 00:11:52,020
Oh, hello, Nora.
180
00:11:52,137 --> 00:11:53,977
Why isn't it surprising to see you here?
181
00:11:54,098 --> 00:11:55,818
I knew that at that time,
182
00:11:55,819 --> 00:11:57,499
they used big catapults
183
00:11:57,500 --> 00:12:00,620
to throw bodies with plague
into fenced cities
184
00:12:01,018 --> 00:12:03,259
to purposely infect people?
185
00:12:03,260 --> 00:12:04,859
This is horrible, Nora.
186
00:12:04,860 --> 00:12:05,976
I know.
187
00:12:05,977 --> 00:12:07,419
And a separate infinitive.
188
00:12:07,420 --> 00:12:08,580
Even more horrible.
189
00:12:12,031 --> 00:12:13,671
It may have some value.
190
00:12:15,420 --> 00:12:17,207
Sergeant, this situation
191
00:12:17,327 --> 00:12:19,501
has to be resolved immediately.
192
00:12:19,620 --> 00:12:22,779
- Carefully.
- Where to?
193
00:12:22,780 --> 00:12:24,819
To a morgue, I imagine.
194
00:12:24,820 --> 00:12:26,419
And ask Dr. Calder
to take a look.
195
00:12:26,420 --> 00:12:28,497
To see if there's any chance
of still being contagious.
196
00:12:28,498 --> 00:12:29,599
Yes sir.
197
00:12:29,780 --> 00:12:31,940
- Thanks, Book.
- Anytime you want, inspector.
198
00:12:34,580 --> 00:12:35,580
Sergeant?
199
00:12:37,380 --> 00:12:40,003
Because you don't just collect coupons,
like normal people?
200
00:12:48,700 --> 00:12:50,060
Well, hello.
201
00:13:00,700 --> 00:13:01,900
Everything is fine?
202
00:13:02,540 --> 00:13:03,850
Yes...
203
00:13:05,540 --> 00:13:06,860
It's all a little...
204
00:13:08,260 --> 00:13:09,460
me and the cops...
205
00:13:10,940 --> 00:13:11,969
I...
206
00:13:12,457 --> 00:13:13,619
I've been away, you see, and...
207
00:13:13,620 --> 00:13:15,100
Oh, yes, I know.
208
00:13:15,582 --> 00:13:17,222
It couldn't have been very pleasant.
209
00:13:17,469 --> 00:13:19,419
You can tell me everything when you're ready.
210
00:13:19,420 --> 00:13:20,699
Give it here, let me take this.
211
00:13:20,700 --> 00:13:22,354
Well, you have to stay with us, don't you?
212
00:13:22,355 --> 00:13:23,899
Now that he got the job.
213
00:13:23,900 --> 00:13:25,660
I have the facilities next door.
214
00:13:25,860 --> 00:13:28,139
Book has his books,
I have my wallpaper,
215
00:13:28,140 --> 00:13:31,139
and it has a beautiful little room
in the attic between the two.
216
00:13:31,140 --> 00:13:32,500
Why are you helping me like this?
217
00:13:32,501 --> 00:13:33,591
Why not?
218
00:13:33,592 --> 00:13:35,814
Check it out with the inspector if it looks good.
219
00:13:35,815 --> 00:13:37,775
I coordinate everything.
220
00:13:38,700 --> 00:13:40,020
Poor Harkup.
221
00:13:40,420 --> 00:13:43,099
- I heard it was suicide.
- Did you hear?
222
00:13:43,100 --> 00:13:44,780
I heard that colleague of yours.
223
00:13:44,900 --> 00:13:47,180
I'll rip your guts out.
224
00:13:47,700 --> 00:13:50,860
- This goes against all the rules of...
- Okay, Sergeant, all right.
225
00:13:51,460 --> 00:13:54,899
Mr. Book can always give us the
benefit from your wisdom. As you know...
226
00:13:54,900 --> 00:13:55,980
Yes.
227
00:13:56,860 --> 00:13:58,060
Yes.
228
00:13:59,980 --> 00:14:01,461
It's bad, Book, very bad.
229
00:14:01,462 --> 00:14:02,782
Poor thing.
230
00:14:03,662 --> 00:14:05,139
But listen, Morris is right.
231
00:14:05,140 --> 00:14:07,139
This is suicide, pure and simple.
232
00:14:07,140 --> 00:14:08,739
I mean,
I can be flexible, as you know,
233
00:14:08,740 --> 00:14:10,539
when something a little more...
234
00:14:10,540 --> 00:14:12,099
Recherché? Outré?
235
00:14:12,100 --> 00:14:13,780
Anything with an acute accent?
236
00:14:15,099 --> 00:14:16,659
...strange appears.
237
00:14:16,660 --> 00:14:18,660
Like our friends, the skeletons.
238
00:14:19,020 --> 00:14:20,822
But this situation is face to face.
239
00:14:21,097 --> 00:14:22,812
The sergeant and I are
perfectly capable of...
240
00:14:22,813 --> 00:14:24,133
Who found him?
241
00:14:24,420 --> 00:14:26,580
The maid. Ada Dredge.
242
00:14:27,300 --> 00:14:28,460
She's quite shaken.
243
00:14:28,980 --> 00:14:30,940
Dredge? It doesn't sound strange to me.
244
00:14:31,380 --> 00:14:33,070
He's been working for Harkup for centuries.
245
00:14:34,700 --> 00:14:36,256
Ding, dong.
246
00:14:36,580 --> 00:14:38,699
- Were there any notes?
- No, no notes.
247
00:14:38,700 --> 00:14:40,140
How did he do it?
248
00:14:40,460 --> 00:14:41,660
Prussic acid.
249
00:14:43,260 --> 00:14:44,787
A violence.
250
00:14:45,060 --> 00:14:47,340
And intriguing, don't you think?
251
00:14:52,780 --> 00:14:54,660
- Mr. Harkup?
- I'm afraid so.
252
00:14:54,820 --> 00:14:55,979
It looks like suicide.
253
00:14:55,980 --> 00:14:57,580
Oh, how horrible.
254
00:14:59,020 --> 00:15:00,459
Well, I better get going.
255
00:15:00,460 --> 00:15:02,500
Too much emotion for one day
256
00:15:02,780 --> 00:15:04,980
Jack, stop by the store,
if you don't mind.
257
00:15:05,500 --> 00:15:08,439
There is a stack of newspapers,
third hill on the right when he enters,
258
00:15:08,660 --> 00:15:10,019
the Charing Cross Dispatch.
259
00:15:10,020 --> 00:15:14,234
Below two volumes about Leonor
of Castile and a withered aspidistra.
260
00:15:15,300 --> 00:15:16,780
Bring them to us, will you?
261
00:15:20,500 --> 00:15:21,539
He is well.
262
00:15:21,540 --> 00:15:23,190
Oh, and put the kettle on again.
263
00:15:24,140 --> 00:15:25,727
We're going to have visitors.
264
00:15:41,180 --> 00:15:43,234
Oh, well, I see it's his.
265
00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:48,196
Oh, I brought a coffee and a slice
of pecan cake for Mr. Harkup.
266
00:15:48,660 --> 00:15:50,300
You can keep it.
267
00:15:50,980 --> 00:15:53,219
And this was your day
usual for cleaning?
268
00:15:53,220 --> 00:15:55,540
Yes.
Every week, right as clockwork.
269
00:15:55,700 --> 00:15:57,339
But I only saw him yesterday.
270
00:15:57,340 --> 00:15:59,059
I went there to get sanitary pads.
271
00:15:59,060 --> 00:16:00,179
Dressings?
272
00:16:00,180 --> 00:16:02,460
Oh, my son was injured in the war.
273
00:16:02,740 --> 00:16:04,687
You need permanent care.
274
00:16:05,413 --> 00:16:06,484
To get dressed.
275
00:16:06,485 --> 00:16:08,220
What time did you see Mr. Harkup?
276
00:16:08,420 --> 00:16:09,900
At six.
277
00:16:10,140 --> 00:16:11,540
I think around six.
278
00:16:11,820 --> 00:16:13,739
Oh, it seems impossible.
279
00:16:13,740 --> 00:16:16,900
He was there, full of life, and then...
280
00:16:18,460 --> 00:16:20,299
find him lying there like that.
281
00:16:20,300 --> 00:16:21,860
It's behaving very well.
282
00:16:22,380 --> 00:16:23,700
And was he?
283
00:16:24,100 --> 00:16:25,260
What was?
284
00:16:25,380 --> 00:16:26,859
Full of life, when did you see him?
285
00:16:26,860 --> 00:16:28,380
Joyful, I mean.
286
00:16:29,180 --> 00:16:31,660
Well, to be honest
It seemed a little sad to me.
287
00:16:33,676 --> 00:16:36,539
But why would you want to do that
horrible thing to himself?
288
00:16:36,540 --> 00:16:38,020
Did you have any vices?
289
00:16:39,342 --> 00:16:40,542
Addictions?
290
00:16:41,060 --> 00:16:43,980
We have to investigate every angle,
unfortunately, dear lady.
291
00:16:45,900 --> 00:16:48,340
He was a man of very normal habits.
292
00:16:48,500 --> 00:16:50,020
Church every Sunday.
293
00:16:50,220 --> 00:16:51,939
He kept his accounts very well organized.
294
00:16:51,940 --> 00:16:53,660
I think it was because I was a soldier.
295
00:16:54,620 --> 00:16:56,100
I played dominoes.
296
00:16:56,500 --> 00:16:57,659
Domino?
297
00:16:57,660 --> 00:16:59,219
Every Monday and Thursday night.
298
00:16:59,220 --> 00:17:01,820
In "The Bull",
with Mr. Baseheart and others.
299
00:17:02,500 --> 00:17:04,019
Does this count as addiction?
300
00:17:04,020 --> 00:17:05,580
I don't think so.
301
00:17:05,740 --> 00:17:07,140
Did he have a family?
302
00:17:13,294 --> 00:17:16,179
My mother said that if we can't
say nothing nice about people,
303
00:17:16,180 --> 00:17:17,436
we must close the gap.
304
00:17:17,940 --> 00:17:18,940
So, there was...
305
00:17:19,660 --> 00:17:20,660
a bad relationship?
306
00:17:22,500 --> 00:17:25,780
There is a daughter, isn't there?
Any...anger?
307
00:17:26,380 --> 00:17:27,820
I don't want to talk about it.
308
00:17:28,780 --> 00:17:30,100
It doesn't seem right to me.
309
00:17:31,140 --> 00:17:33,179
When Mr. H's body still
It didn't even cool down.
310
00:17:33,180 --> 00:17:34,620
My God, this cake.
311
00:17:35,020 --> 00:17:36,619
- Yes?
- Well, it's superb.
312
00:17:36,620 --> 00:17:38,899
So nice.
313
00:17:38,900 --> 00:17:41,060
But I expected nothing less.
314
00:17:41,340 --> 00:17:42,939
Why do you say that?
315
00:17:42,940 --> 00:17:45,780
Are you from Miss Lyons Corner House, 1921?
316
00:17:47,196 --> 00:17:49,740
It's funny that you know that.
317
00:17:50,220 --> 00:17:51,819
But it was in 1922.
318
00:17:51,820 --> 00:17:53,139
I was wrong.
319
00:17:53,140 --> 00:17:54,379
What the hell?
320
00:17:54,380 --> 00:17:58,460
I keep a lot of details like this,
normally useless.
321
00:17:58,700 --> 00:18:00,839
It must have been a
very pleasant experience.
322
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,102
LYONS TEA BEAUTY QUEEN CROWNED
323
00:18:02,103 --> 00:18:04,740
Oh, yes.
Oh, I've never felt so fantastic.
324
00:18:05,300 --> 00:18:06,780
I bought a new hat.
325
00:18:07,140 --> 00:18:09,300
And the Mayor winked at me.
326
00:18:09,740 --> 00:18:11,579
- He winked at me!
- Beautiful.
327
00:18:11,580 --> 00:18:13,419
I worked there for years.
328
00:18:13,420 --> 00:18:14,820
At the Corner House.
329
00:18:15,020 --> 00:18:17,020
So I became
very good at making cakes.
330
00:18:18,140 --> 00:18:20,420
Mr. H loved mine
upside down cake and pineapple...
331
00:18:20,421 --> 00:18:22,619
You know, it would be really helpful to know
332
00:18:22,620 --> 00:18:25,533
Why did he and his daughter, Sarah...
333
00:18:27,020 --> 00:18:28,259
- Meru...
- Merula.
334
00:18:28,260 --> 00:18:29,539
Merula, that's right.
335
00:18:29,540 --> 00:18:32,580
Why is he and Merula
they no longer spoke to each other.
336
00:18:34,102 --> 00:18:37,222
Well, since you've been so kind...
337
00:18:37,380 --> 00:18:39,540
- She's very friendly.
- She was a cow.
338
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,960
A horrible and self-serving kitty.
339
00:18:44,180 --> 00:18:45,379
I see.
340
00:18:45,380 --> 00:18:47,019
She was the apple of his eye,
341
00:18:47,020 --> 00:18:48,300
after his wife passed away.
342
00:18:49,100 --> 00:18:52,619
But she knew how to get around him.
343
00:18:52,620 --> 00:18:55,619
Nothing was too much trouble for his little princess.
344
00:18:55,620 --> 00:18:59,660
And then she had the courage to run away with him.
345
00:18:59,780 --> 00:19:00,780
He?
346
00:19:01,420 --> 00:19:02,699
Mickey.
347
00:19:02,700 --> 00:19:03,853
Mickey Hall.
348
00:19:03,854 --> 00:19:05,099
He's a right back.
349
00:19:05,100 --> 00:19:06,339
He painted the blanket during the war.
350
00:19:06,340 --> 00:19:07,393
Naughty things, you know?
351
00:19:07,620 --> 00:19:08,820
Black market.
352
00:19:09,260 --> 00:19:10,660
He's an automotive mechanic.
353
00:19:11,180 --> 00:19:12,339
They have a workshop.
354
00:19:12,340 --> 00:19:13,419
Towards Mile End.
355
00:19:13,420 --> 00:19:14,940
- Mile End?
- A treat.
356
00:19:15,540 --> 00:19:17,940
And now Merula will inherit everything.
357
00:19:20,700 --> 00:19:22,140
Doesn't seem right, does it?
358
00:19:22,660 --> 00:19:24,020
No...
359
00:19:24,980 --> 00:19:26,020
It doesn't seem like it.
360
00:19:26,500 --> 00:19:27,660
Thanks for the cake.
361
00:19:31,373 --> 00:19:33,115
What the hell do you think you're doing?
362
00:19:33,302 --> 00:19:35,622
I'm just being a good neighbor, Sergeant.
363
00:19:36,220 --> 00:19:39,060
It's your witness, it seems to me.
364
00:19:41,188 --> 00:19:42,388
HARKUP PHARMACY
365
00:19:50,300 --> 00:19:52,340
- Hi again.
- Oh, hello, Book.
366
00:19:52,980 --> 00:19:54,645
I was just wondering if I can
367
00:19:54,646 --> 00:19:57,163
stick your nose in before leaving.
368
00:19:57,340 --> 00:19:59,940
- See if I can help with anything.
- Leave?
369
00:20:00,060 --> 00:20:02,139
Mrs. Book and I are going to have fun.
370
00:20:02,140 --> 00:20:03,900
The new boy is
take care of the little one.
371
00:20:04,286 --> 00:20:05,447
Oh, the dog?
372
00:20:05,620 --> 00:20:07,820
Dog. No definite article.
373
00:20:08,180 --> 00:20:09,659
Are you going to the cinema?
374
00:20:09,660 --> 00:20:12,019
A movie is showing
by Sandra Dare at the Rialto.
375
00:20:12,020 --> 00:20:13,020
To the opera.
376
00:20:13,380 --> 00:20:15,140
Fat ladies singing.
377
00:20:16,540 --> 00:20:18,620
Speaking of which, can I...
378
00:20:22,942 --> 00:20:24,339
There is a daughter.
379
00:20:24,340 --> 00:20:26,340
But Mrs. Dredge says they didn't speak.
380
00:20:28,180 --> 00:20:29,580
That's what I heard.
381
00:20:29,820 --> 00:20:31,500
We're trying to locate her.
382
00:20:32,460 --> 00:20:34,041
She has a workshop
383
00:20:34,180 --> 00:20:35,479
in Mile End.
384
00:20:35,900 --> 00:20:37,220
Oh, right.
385
00:20:37,780 --> 00:20:38,780
Thanks.
386
00:20:57,460 --> 00:20:58,980
Funny, aren't they?
387
00:20:59,900 --> 00:21:02,019
Mrs. Bliss has a similar thing.
388
00:21:02,020 --> 00:21:03,899
Some small junk.
389
00:21:03,900 --> 00:21:05,659
They're not quite the same, it seems to me.
390
00:21:05,660 --> 00:21:07,100
These are jade.
391
00:21:07,300 --> 00:21:08,660
Very good.
392
00:21:10,620 --> 00:21:11,980
And this...
393
00:21:18,180 --> 00:21:20,580
Mr. Harkup was
obviously an expert.
394
00:21:39,380 --> 00:21:41,100
Do you think it was suicide?
395
00:21:41,300 --> 00:21:42,572
Have questions?
396
00:21:42,573 --> 00:21:43,654
I have.
397
00:21:43,655 --> 00:21:45,100
What is your theory?
398
00:21:45,580 --> 00:21:47,419
- Good afternoon, gentlemen.
- Good afternoon.
399
00:21:47,420 --> 00:21:50,379
Oh, Eric. Black Lamb and Gray Falcon.
400
00:21:50,380 --> 00:21:51,279
As?
401
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:52,376
That book for Sheila.
402
00:21:52,377 --> 00:21:54,287
- It arrived.
- Oh, great.
403
00:21:54,573 --> 00:21:55,899
She's coming to pick him up tomorrow.
404
00:21:55,900 --> 00:21:57,059
- Sure.
- Do you want to wet your beak?
405
00:21:57,060 --> 00:21:58,060
Oh, no thanks.
406
00:21:59,020 --> 00:22:02,020
I never really liked him, Harkup.
407
00:22:03,060 --> 00:22:04,380
May God forgive me.
408
00:22:05,020 --> 00:22:07,539
- He was a little Hitler.
- Still, poor thing.
409
00:22:07,540 --> 00:22:08,940
Killing yourself this way.
410
00:22:10,260 --> 00:22:11,260
So...
411
00:22:12,180 --> 00:22:13,220
What is your theory?
412
00:22:13,500 --> 00:22:15,260
Patience, inspector. Patience.
413
00:22:15,780 --> 00:22:18,700
The two most powerful warriors
are patience and time.
414
00:22:19,140 --> 00:22:21,182
- Tolstoy.
- Oh, I never could figure it out.
415
00:22:21,500 --> 00:22:24,579
Tried the one, you know, where she
throws himself in front of a train.
416
00:22:24,580 --> 00:22:26,500
- No?
- No.
417
00:22:27,022 --> 00:22:28,022
Book.
418
00:22:28,380 --> 00:22:29,420
Inspector.
419
00:23:03,380 --> 00:23:04,420
Too much?
420
00:23:06,926 --> 00:23:08,325
No, not at all.
421
00:23:10,580 --> 00:23:11,820
It's beautiful.
422
00:23:12,112 --> 00:23:13,284
I was talking about the walls.
423
00:23:14,268 --> 00:23:15,339
Oh.
424
00:23:15,340 --> 00:23:17,339
The Book says they are a
an affront to good taste,
425
00:23:17,340 --> 00:23:19,259
But, I don't know, I think they have
426
00:23:19,260 --> 00:23:20,740
something, don't you think?
427
00:23:21,510 --> 00:23:22,979
I'm good at putting things together.
428
00:23:22,980 --> 00:23:24,780
I always have been.
429
00:23:25,180 --> 00:23:27,739
Cabinets, radios,
430
00:23:27,740 --> 00:23:28,779
heads.
431
00:23:28,780 --> 00:23:30,140
I was in the Women's Army.
432
00:23:30,260 --> 00:23:31,740
- Gin?
- What?
433
00:23:32,740 --> 00:23:34,060
Oh, yes, please.
434
00:23:36,700 --> 00:23:37,980
So, are you going to leave?
435
00:23:38,420 --> 00:23:40,020
My dear, we will always go out.
436
00:23:41,020 --> 00:23:43,060
Well, we have to live, don't we?
437
00:23:43,220 --> 00:23:45,220
Especially after what we've been through.
438
00:23:45,467 --> 00:23:47,299
I think there are ribs in the pantry.
439
00:23:47,300 --> 00:23:49,660
Your room is upstairs,
I've already aired the sheets.
440
00:23:54,020 --> 00:23:55,020
You are...
441
00:23:55,500 --> 00:23:56,500
I mean...
442
00:23:58,260 --> 00:23:59,260
Thank you.
443
00:24:07,580 --> 00:24:08,700
I better go unpack.
444
00:24:22,420 --> 00:24:23,420
Then?
445
00:24:23,980 --> 00:24:25,020
Then?
446
00:24:26,660 --> 00:24:28,340
I know that look.
447
00:24:28,620 --> 00:24:31,004
- You're preparing something.
- What nonsense.
448
00:24:31,005 --> 00:24:32,939
It's just the happy look of a happy man.
449
00:24:32,940 --> 00:24:36,420
I have a beautiful wife,
a beautiful store, a beautiful Dog.
450
00:24:36,620 --> 00:24:38,739
What more could a man want?
451
00:24:38,740 --> 00:24:39,900
Fraud.
452
00:24:40,380 --> 00:24:41,540
So, three things.
453
00:24:41,862 --> 00:24:44,499
Mr. Harkup collected
chinese jade figures
454
00:24:44,500 --> 00:24:46,180
of exceptional quality.
455
00:24:46,460 --> 00:24:49,380
But the powder is eloquent, as someone said.
456
00:24:49,740 --> 00:24:51,140
Dust doesn't lie.
457
00:24:51,648 --> 00:24:53,339
One of the figures has been replaced
458
00:24:53,340 --> 00:24:55,780
with cheap crap,
a chess piece.
459
00:24:56,180 --> 00:24:58,540
But the larger silhouette is visible.
460
00:24:59,262 --> 00:25:02,022
Mrs Dredge hasn't cleaned in
some time, despite what I said.
461
00:25:02,420 --> 00:25:04,020
Secondly, Mr. Harkup
462
00:25:04,300 --> 00:25:06,460
has a small bump on
back of the head.
463
00:25:06,992 --> 00:25:09,152
It wasn't caused by the fall, I don't think so.
464
00:25:09,872 --> 00:25:12,352
Or probably by a blow
with a blunt object.
465
00:25:12,512 --> 00:25:14,872
A blunt object
that didn't tear the skin.
466
00:25:15,272 --> 00:25:18,232
However there is blood on the part
behind Mr. Harkup's head.
467
00:25:18,712 --> 00:25:20,032
- Thirdly...
- Yes?
468
00:25:20,872 --> 00:25:22,472
"Darkness, I hear."
469
00:25:22,712 --> 00:25:26,833
"And I've been kind of
in love with an easy death."
470
00:25:27,313 --> 00:25:29,192
"I called him soft names
471
00:25:29,432 --> 00:25:31,472
in fun rhymes,
472
00:25:31,633 --> 00:25:34,273
so that it blows away
my silent breath."
473
00:25:35,593 --> 00:25:36,793
Forgiveness?
474
00:25:37,273 --> 00:25:40,993
Why should a pharmacist, with everyone
the mild poisons known in your store,
475
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,957
would choose to kill himself with something so horrible
476
00:25:44,314 --> 00:25:45,701
like prussic acid?
477
00:25:48,752 --> 00:25:49,873
Well, Book,
478
00:25:50,473 --> 00:25:51,913
then you already know.
479
00:25:52,552 --> 00:25:53,713
Yes, Trottie.
480
00:25:54,152 --> 00:25:55,223
We already know.
481
00:25:58,312 --> 00:25:59,593
It's murder.
482
00:26:18,832 --> 00:26:19,873
Book?
483
00:26:20,032 --> 00:26:21,112
Mrs. Book.
484
00:26:22,192 --> 00:26:23,593
- Careful.
- Careful.
485
00:27:20,180 --> 00:27:21,180
Store?
486
00:27:25,298 --> 00:27:26,336
Good morning.
487
00:27:29,549 --> 00:27:30,632
How can I help you?
488
00:27:30,633 --> 00:27:32,405
Oh. Well, I...
489
00:27:32,792 --> 00:27:33,871
I'm looking for a book.
490
00:27:33,872 --> 00:27:35,593
It's in exactly the right place.
491
00:27:36,184 --> 00:27:37,400
What do you think, young man?
492
00:27:37,401 --> 00:27:38,631
What suits you best?
493
00:27:38,632 --> 00:27:40,392
Dickens? Wilkie Collins?
494
00:27:40,393 --> 00:27:41,672
Henry James?
495
00:27:42,832 --> 00:27:44,792
Do you have the new Georgette Heyer one?
496
00:27:46,792 --> 00:27:48,312
I read all of her others.
497
00:27:48,313 --> 00:27:50,353
Me too. And she is a spectacle.
498
00:27:50,593 --> 00:27:52,431
But this would be a new book, Miss...
499
00:27:52,432 --> 00:27:55,032
- Mrs. Goodwin.
- Mrs. Goodwin.
500
00:27:55,232 --> 00:27:56,672
-Jean.
-Jean.
501
00:27:56,820 --> 00:27:58,701
We don't have those, do we?
502
00:28:00,553 --> 00:28:01,952
We should go to Foyles.
503
00:28:03,193 --> 00:28:06,112
It's a stretch, with my feet as I have them.
504
00:28:06,313 --> 00:28:07,912
I have the perfect alternative.
505
00:28:08,032 --> 00:28:09,631
One that told romantic stories
506
00:28:09,632 --> 00:28:12,456
when Ms. Heyer still
it was in the crib... probably.
507
00:28:12,580 --> 00:28:14,459
Oh, well, if you think that...
508
00:28:14,555 --> 00:28:16,112
I mean, if you recommend...
509
00:28:17,113 --> 00:28:18,552
Sorry, I'm right...
510
00:28:18,553 --> 00:28:20,233
Sorry. I'm thinking.
511
00:28:30,580 --> 00:28:31,697
Orczy.
512
00:28:31,698 --> 00:28:34,753
- I've never heard of him.
- Hers. Baroness. Hungarian.
513
00:28:35,432 --> 00:28:37,032
Scarlet Pimpernel.
514
00:28:37,033 --> 00:28:38,552
Oh, I've heard of that.
515
00:28:39,272 --> 00:28:40,513
French Revolution.
516
00:28:40,672 --> 00:28:43,153
It's delicious. You won't regret it.
517
00:28:43,952 --> 00:28:46,791
When it's over,
Come back here and I'll find the sequel for you.
518
00:28:46,792 --> 00:28:48,831
Oh, that's very kind of you.
519
00:28:48,832 --> 00:28:50,031
How much do I owe?
520
00:28:50,032 --> 00:28:51,313
Oh, it might be a shilling.
521
00:28:51,433 --> 00:28:52,472
Wait.
522
00:28:52,753 --> 00:28:53,832
Feet.
523
00:28:53,833 --> 00:28:55,312
Feet, feet, feet.
524
00:28:57,673 --> 00:28:58,877
That...
525
00:28:59,325 --> 00:29:00,857
It's free.
526
00:29:01,232 --> 00:29:03,913
- Oh, I can't...
- Oh, it's nothing.
527
00:29:04,232 --> 00:29:06,178
But send her away
happily by bus
528
00:29:06,179 --> 00:29:07,671
without worrying about bunions
529
00:29:07,672 --> 00:29:09,111
worth more than rubies,
530
00:29:09,112 --> 00:29:10,873
Don't you agree, Jean?
531
00:29:12,232 --> 00:29:13,312
Thanks.
532
00:29:13,873 --> 00:29:15,032
Goodbye.
533
00:29:15,992 --> 00:29:17,432
Let's go, woman.
534
00:29:19,102 --> 00:29:20,864
So I'll never make money,
why not?
535
00:29:25,552 --> 00:29:28,552
So, Jack,
Excited to start the day?
536
00:29:28,952 --> 00:29:31,153
There is a world of learning here.
537
00:29:31,993 --> 00:29:33,313
All human life.
538
00:29:33,553 --> 00:29:34,911
And some inhumane.
539
00:29:34,912 --> 00:29:36,152
Do you still have that coin?
540
00:29:36,352 --> 00:29:37,552
What? Oh...
541
00:29:37,952 --> 00:29:39,231
Yes, yes of course.
542
00:29:39,232 --> 00:29:40,232
Good.
543
00:29:42,152 --> 00:29:44,512
I don't want to get involved, Mr. Book,
544
00:29:44,672 --> 00:29:45,673
but...
545
00:29:46,952 --> 00:29:48,472
What does it do, exactly?
546
00:29:49,033 --> 00:29:50,833
I thought it was obvious.
547
00:29:51,032 --> 00:29:52,352
I sell books.
548
00:29:52,582 --> 00:29:54,124
Yes, but that's not all, is it?
549
00:29:54,673 --> 00:29:55,712
Yesterday,
550
00:29:55,912 --> 00:29:57,352
at the bombing site,
551
00:29:57,968 --> 00:29:59,472
your conversation with the cleaning lady...
552
00:29:59,473 --> 00:30:01,192
- Yes?
- Well, that's, like, your...
553
00:30:02,552 --> 00:30:03,552
your hobby?
554
00:30:04,513 --> 00:30:06,832
I mean,
the way you talk to the cops,
555
00:30:07,153 --> 00:30:09,112
the way they left him
walk in that grave...
556
00:30:09,396 --> 00:30:11,671
like he was some kind of counselor?
557
00:30:11,672 --> 00:30:13,393
I mean,
Why do they listen to you?
558
00:30:13,633 --> 00:30:14,911
Many times they don't.
559
00:30:14,912 --> 00:30:16,072
Idiot.
560
00:30:17,272 --> 00:30:19,952
I once did a favor for
inspector during the war.
561
00:30:20,152 --> 00:30:21,272
He didn't forget.
562
00:30:21,872 --> 00:30:23,472
Also, I have a special letter...
563
00:30:23,473 --> 00:30:24,871
A letter from Churchill?
564
00:30:24,872 --> 00:30:26,713
Yes, the cops said that. One...
565
00:30:28,033 --> 00:30:29,432
A letter that says what?
566
00:30:31,393 --> 00:30:33,392
It's a chaotic world, Jack.
567
00:30:34,192 --> 00:30:35,552
I have a system.
568
00:30:35,912 --> 00:30:38,952
Sometimes people
like me, give your opinion.
569
00:30:38,953 --> 00:30:41,353
They impose some rules. That's all.
570
00:30:41,992 --> 00:30:43,712
You can read all kinds of things...
571
00:30:44,713 --> 00:30:46,192
and books too.
572
00:30:46,792 --> 00:30:47,792
What? So...
573
00:30:48,152 --> 00:30:49,231
This...
574
00:30:49,232 --> 00:30:50,632
is this your system?
575
00:30:50,953 --> 00:30:51,953
Yes.
576
00:30:52,432 --> 00:30:53,792
What's the harm?
577
00:30:54,433 --> 00:30:56,473
Well, they are not in any order.
578
00:30:56,912 --> 00:30:58,033
I mean...
579
00:30:58,993 --> 00:31:00,673
Falls of Denial.
580
00:31:02,713 --> 00:31:05,113
Eye Diseases and Their Treatment.
581
00:31:05,912 --> 00:31:08,192
Cataracts. Eye Diseases. Logical.
582
00:31:09,472 --> 00:31:11,551
The Guillotine: A Practical Guide.
583
00:31:11,552 --> 00:31:14,473
Life and Death of Alfred Muttings,
Gentleman.
584
00:31:14,833 --> 00:31:17,112
Kingdom Coins.
I mean, there's no system.
585
00:31:17,113 --> 00:31:20,032
- There is no system.
- It's all up here, isn't it?
586
00:31:20,312 --> 00:31:21,632
How can I explain?
587
00:31:22,592 --> 00:31:25,071
Alfred Muttings was a
professional criminal.
588
00:31:25,072 --> 00:31:27,991
A successful forger in his time,
which was the time of Queen Victoria.
589
00:31:27,992 --> 00:31:29,352
An extraordinary guy in his field.
590
00:31:29,353 --> 00:31:31,311
He minted coins, counterfeited coins.
591
00:31:31,312 --> 00:31:32,791
But his luck ran out in Paris,
592
00:31:32,792 --> 00:31:34,231
and cut off his head,
593
00:31:34,232 --> 00:31:36,781
That's the reason for these books
everyone being together, you know?
594
00:31:36,782 --> 00:31:37,782
Yes, but that's...
595
00:31:39,832 --> 00:31:41,032
I mean, it's silly.
596
00:31:43,672 --> 00:31:44,833
Even so.
597
00:31:46,912 --> 00:31:50,312
Well, I'll leave you to guard the fort.
598
00:32:08,540 --> 00:32:09,901
Slightly foxed.
599
00:32:13,153 --> 00:32:15,112
Slightly... foxed.
600
00:32:16,633 --> 00:32:17,713
Says it all.
601
00:32:17,986 --> 00:32:19,929
KINGDOM COINS
602
00:32:46,273 --> 00:32:47,632
- Good morning.
- Yes...
603
00:32:48,452 --> 00:32:49,831
Can I help you?
604
00:32:49,832 --> 00:32:51,272
I came to pick up an order.
605
00:32:51,632 --> 00:32:53,872
Right. What name is it in?
606
00:32:54,152 --> 00:32:55,472
Sheila Wellbeloved.
607
00:33:01,552 --> 00:33:02,552
Hello.
608
00:33:03,342 --> 00:33:04,542
- Jack?
- Yes...
609
00:33:04,993 --> 00:33:06,112
I'm Nora.
610
00:33:06,272 --> 00:33:08,072
We have a lot to talk about.
611
00:33:14,312 --> 00:33:16,791
Thanks, girl.
Once again, I am very sorry for your loss.
612
00:33:16,792 --> 00:33:18,701
- Can I leave now?
- Well, if you don't mind
613
00:33:18,702 --> 00:33:20,262
to answer some questions.
614
00:33:21,553 --> 00:33:24,712
Would you mind coming with me,
please, girl?
615
00:33:25,312 --> 00:33:26,672
Fascinating.
616
00:33:26,953 --> 00:33:28,739
What better place to
hide a tree...
617
00:33:28,740 --> 00:33:30,112
...than a forest?
618
00:33:30,712 --> 00:33:33,232
These brands...
619
00:33:33,352 --> 00:33:34,633
Without a doubt.
620
00:33:35,032 --> 00:33:36,952
- Book?
- Oh, hello.
621
00:33:37,352 --> 00:33:40,152
I'm just here watching those
skeletons with Dr. Calder.
622
00:33:40,153 --> 00:33:42,472
Oh yes. Any risk of infection?
623
00:33:42,662 --> 00:33:45,622
As for that, it's very safe, Inspector.
However...
624
00:33:45,712 --> 00:33:47,112
"Loose lips lose panties,"
625
00:33:47,113 --> 00:33:48,832
as they say in the underwear business.
626
00:33:49,112 --> 00:33:51,272
We don't want to ruin the surprise,
why not?
627
00:33:51,592 --> 00:33:52,792
Surprise?
628
00:33:53,542 --> 00:33:55,022
Anyway,
Let us return to the case at hand.
629
00:33:55,153 --> 00:33:57,032
This is Ms. Merula Harkup.
630
00:33:57,313 --> 00:33:59,872
Oh, my dear, I'm so sorry.
631
00:34:00,192 --> 00:34:02,352
- Did you mention some questions?
- Yes.
632
00:34:02,752 --> 00:34:04,912
Do you mind if I accompany you?
633
00:34:09,913 --> 00:34:12,073
Don't forget that blood test,
are you ok?
634
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:13,520
It's on the way.
635
00:34:18,152 --> 00:34:19,273
I apologize.
636
00:34:20,222 --> 00:34:21,222
Here it is.
637
00:34:21,433 --> 00:34:23,233
Black Lamb and Gray Falcon.
638
00:34:23,912 --> 00:34:24,992
Sound interesting?
639
00:34:25,633 --> 00:34:26,633
Thanks.
640
00:34:32,872 --> 00:34:34,072
Are you getting used to it?
641
00:34:34,312 --> 00:34:35,312
Slowly.
642
00:34:36,193 --> 00:34:37,753
So... who are you?
643
00:34:37,877 --> 00:34:39,087
Nora.
644
00:34:39,088 --> 00:34:41,513
I live across the street,
in the Turkish restaurant.
645
00:34:41,514 --> 00:34:43,392
Sometimes I help in the store.
646
00:34:43,393 --> 00:34:44,393
So...
647
00:34:45,112 --> 00:34:46,291
Do you know them well?
648
00:34:46,292 --> 00:34:47,392
Mr. and Mrs. Book?
649
00:34:48,272 --> 00:34:49,272
Yes.
650
00:34:49,873 --> 00:34:51,591
And you know...
651
00:34:51,592 --> 00:34:52,671
little hobby?
652
00:34:52,672 --> 00:34:54,472
Of course I know.
653
00:34:54,673 --> 00:34:55,832
I don't think about anything else.
654
00:34:57,602 --> 00:34:59,215
Isn't that all...? I mean...
655
00:35:00,914 --> 00:35:02,834
- That's not...
- Unhealthy?
656
00:35:03,688 --> 00:35:04,928
I think so.
657
00:35:05,061 --> 00:35:06,541
What do your parents think?
658
00:35:07,523 --> 00:35:08,764
I don't have.
659
00:35:09,964 --> 00:35:11,003
What do you mean?
660
00:35:11,443 --> 00:35:14,083
Well, it was the war, wasn't it?
661
00:35:15,513 --> 00:35:16,874
Everyone has lost someone.
662
00:35:17,923 --> 00:35:19,003
I lost them.
663
00:35:20,243 --> 00:35:21,364
I'm sorry.
664
00:35:23,524 --> 00:35:24,923
- What happened?
- So...
665
00:35:25,603 --> 00:35:27,267
after all, how are you getting used to it,
666
00:35:27,268 --> 00:35:28,324
to Books?
667
00:35:29,164 --> 00:35:30,563
To Mr. and Mrs.?
668
00:35:32,764 --> 00:35:35,322
Not quite what I expected when...
669
00:35:35,323 --> 00:35:37,324
By the way, what is his first name?
670
00:35:37,723 --> 00:35:38,884
What do you think?
671
00:35:39,803 --> 00:35:40,803
Cookbook?
672
00:35:40,924 --> 00:35:42,683
Scrapbook? MuckyBook?
673
00:35:43,763 --> 00:35:44,843
Gabriel.
674
00:35:47,603 --> 00:35:48,603
Like the angel?
675
00:35:48,803 --> 00:35:51,004
Like the archangel, as you will realize.
676
00:35:51,643 --> 00:35:53,883
They are a dream. Both.
677
00:35:53,884 --> 00:35:55,084
Some darlings.
678
00:35:57,244 --> 00:35:58,244
So...
679
00:35:59,123 --> 00:36:00,484
What is your story?
680
00:36:04,468 --> 00:36:06,779
POLICE
681
00:36:14,803 --> 00:36:16,444
I imagine they think I'm cold.
682
00:36:17,123 --> 00:36:20,563
I'm not sniffling,
in tears everywhere.
683
00:36:22,305 --> 00:36:25,244
I'm not like that. That's all.
684
00:36:26,284 --> 00:36:27,364
Your father?
685
00:36:28,363 --> 00:36:29,803
I'm sorry you're dead.
686
00:36:30,724 --> 00:36:32,524
Of course I'm sorry, it was my father.
687
00:36:33,043 --> 00:36:34,403
Despite everything.
688
00:36:37,363 --> 00:36:39,083
He didn't make it easy...
689
00:36:40,283 --> 00:36:41,739
love him, therefore...
690
00:36:41,740 --> 00:36:44,299
Can you think of any
reason that led him to kill himself?
691
00:36:44,300 --> 00:36:47,379
None. No, he was fine
in life with your business, and...
692
00:36:48,763 --> 00:36:50,570
Well,
his mother had left him some money
693
00:36:50,571 --> 00:36:51,642
when he died.
694
00:36:51,643 --> 00:36:53,883
Don't you think your anger...
695
00:36:53,884 --> 00:36:56,123
No. It had nothing to do with it.
696
00:36:56,363 --> 00:36:58,324
He was not emotional.
697
00:36:59,524 --> 00:37:01,163
Maybe I inherited that from him.
698
00:37:02,884 --> 00:37:04,723
I mean,
He made it very clear that...
699
00:37:05,044 --> 00:37:06,923
who didn't approve...
700
00:37:07,804 --> 00:37:09,043
Me and Mickey.
701
00:37:09,722 --> 00:37:13,313
But he wasn't going to kill himself
out of tantrum against it.
702
00:37:13,314 --> 00:37:15,590
He...
It wasn't his type, like I told him.
703
00:37:15,591 --> 00:37:16,950
Tell us about Mickey.
704
00:37:20,404 --> 00:37:21,844
What can I say? He's my man.
705
00:37:24,203 --> 00:37:25,684
How was his war?
706
00:37:27,244 --> 00:37:28,683
Why do you ask that?
707
00:37:28,684 --> 00:37:31,402
We know how your father
I liked the Armed Forces.
708
00:37:31,403 --> 00:37:33,723
Always wore decorations
him with great pride.
709
00:37:33,724 --> 00:37:34,963
Yes, well...
710
00:37:35,203 --> 00:37:36,282
Mickey was unlucky.
711
00:37:36,283 --> 00:37:38,483
His eyes are not good.
712
00:37:40,324 --> 00:37:42,244
I say that's why
that he broke up with me.
713
00:37:43,003 --> 00:37:44,132
I mean...
714
00:37:44,133 --> 00:37:47,228
wouldn't have done much against the
Germans with eyes like they have.
715
00:37:47,603 --> 00:37:48,964
The father didn't like that.
716
00:37:49,123 --> 00:37:50,832
I thought he was a straight back.
717
00:37:51,043 --> 00:37:52,242
That was the start of it all.
718
00:37:52,243 --> 00:37:53,404
And what was the end?
719
00:37:55,820 --> 00:37:58,340
The father was convinced that
Mickey was stealing it.
720
00:37:59,081 --> 00:38:00,085
Money?
721
00:38:00,883 --> 00:38:01,883
Morphine.
722
00:38:04,123 --> 00:38:07,882
Mickey got himself into a
dark business during the war.
723
00:38:07,883 --> 00:38:10,123
Socks, cigarettes, small things.
724
00:38:10,963 --> 00:38:12,083
The father had...
725
00:38:12,487 --> 00:38:14,482
got it into his head that Mickey was bad.
726
00:38:14,483 --> 00:38:16,483
And did you notice the lack of morphine?
727
00:38:16,723 --> 00:38:17,963
Yes.
728
00:38:18,604 --> 00:38:20,003
He stopped talking to us.
729
00:38:20,764 --> 00:38:22,873
But you got some news, didn't you?
730
00:38:28,420 --> 00:38:31,183
I thought a little boy was the
something that would bring us closer together again.
731
00:38:32,443 --> 00:38:35,748
What talk is this? Why
They're so interested in Mickey if...
732
00:38:36,022 --> 00:38:37,556
the father decided
733
00:38:37,936 --> 00:38:39,130
kill yourself?
734
00:38:45,403 --> 00:38:46,579
Stories?
735
00:38:46,580 --> 00:38:48,339
Detective stories.
736
00:38:48,563 --> 00:38:49,924
That's what I want to write.
737
00:38:50,363 --> 00:38:52,166
I have so many ideas.
738
00:38:52,167 --> 00:38:53,167
There...
739
00:38:53,505 --> 00:38:56,533
Such an exciting new world out there.
740
00:38:57,563 --> 00:38:58,924
Everything is destroyed.
741
00:38:59,164 --> 00:39:00,283
The whole world.
742
00:39:00,563 --> 00:39:02,163
Nobody knows what to do anymore.
743
00:39:02,164 --> 00:39:03,643
Well, I know.
744
00:39:04,204 --> 00:39:06,243
The war left everything in shambles.
745
00:39:06,244 --> 00:39:07,363
Shaken.
746
00:39:07,809 --> 00:39:09,059
But this is great.
747
00:39:09,060 --> 00:39:10,820
We can't go back now
to things as they were.
748
00:39:10,924 --> 00:39:13,324
- Including homicides?
- Including homicides.
749
00:39:13,523 --> 00:39:15,562
Half of the soldiers
British returned home
750
00:39:15,563 --> 00:39:18,563
with pistols that they stole from dead Nazis.
751
00:39:18,803 --> 00:39:20,358
The country is full of them.
752
00:39:20,841 --> 00:39:22,971
- And then?
- After...
753
00:39:23,123 --> 00:39:26,665
we only seem civilized in this country,
because we don't carry weapons.
754
00:39:26,884 --> 00:39:28,275
Think about all that
755
00:39:28,276 --> 00:39:31,403
throbbing suburban passion.
756
00:39:31,924 --> 00:39:34,963
Husbands having affairs
with the secretaries.
757
00:39:35,203 --> 00:39:37,835
Ladies having romances
with drivers.
758
00:39:38,003 --> 00:39:41,524
All those wills
disputes and domestic disputes.
759
00:39:41,803 --> 00:39:43,444
People used to
kill each other
760
00:39:43,812 --> 00:39:46,723
extracting arsenic from wallpaper.
761
00:39:47,483 --> 00:39:49,643
Now they just need to grab a Luger.
762
00:39:51,604 --> 00:39:53,203
Bang, boom, boom.
763
00:39:59,603 --> 00:40:01,163
What happened to your parents?
764
00:40:02,843 --> 00:40:05,044
You should be telling me your story.
765
00:40:08,443 --> 00:40:09,604
I'm also an orphan.
766
00:40:11,483 --> 00:40:12,683
I never met my mother.
767
00:40:13,483 --> 00:40:14,829
I have a photograph of my father.
768
00:40:17,006 --> 00:40:18,006
That's all.
769
00:40:19,911 --> 00:40:20,991
I'm sorry.
770
00:40:23,083 --> 00:40:24,163
It doesn't hurt.
771
00:40:27,643 --> 00:40:29,443
- I should...
- Yes.
772
00:40:30,124 --> 00:40:32,549
- It was a pleasure to meet you.
- It was an arsonist.
773
00:40:34,883 --> 00:40:35,884
What?
774
00:40:39,244 --> 00:40:40,483
An incendiary.
775
00:40:42,443 --> 00:40:45,203
He set the roof on fire.
During the Blitz.
776
00:40:47,723 --> 00:40:49,750
Mom took me out of the house and...
777
00:40:50,443 --> 00:40:51,724
He went back to get his father.
778
00:40:54,283 --> 00:40:55,723
Then the roof collapsed.
779
00:40:56,803 --> 00:40:57,812
And I
780
00:40:58,259 --> 00:40:59,259
I stayed there...
781
00:40:59,363 --> 00:41:01,883
in the garden looking at the house.
782
00:41:02,243 --> 00:41:03,243
Only...
783
00:41:04,843 --> 00:41:05,937
feeling...
784
00:41:06,898 --> 00:41:08,460
stunned.
785
00:41:11,243 --> 00:41:13,163
The ARP guard found me.
786
00:41:13,603 --> 00:41:14,603
After...
787
00:41:14,963 --> 00:41:16,523
my uncle took me in.
788
00:41:16,524 --> 00:41:17,684
Therefore...
789
00:41:18,283 --> 00:41:19,804
now I have to help him.
790
00:41:20,644 --> 00:41:22,084
At the restaurant.
791
00:41:23,483 --> 00:41:24,811
But would you rather be...?
792
00:41:27,563 --> 00:41:29,803
It's much more exciting here, isn't it?
793
00:41:55,123 --> 00:41:57,203
I gave up pleasure during Lent.
794
00:42:00,203 --> 00:42:01,763
I gave up on Lent...
795
00:42:03,292 --> 00:42:04,612
for pleasure.
796
00:42:10,643 --> 00:42:11,643
Well...
797
00:42:13,260 --> 00:42:14,419
what is your answer?
798
00:42:15,724 --> 00:42:16,842
I already told you,
799
00:42:16,843 --> 00:42:18,124
I'm just a bookseller.
800
00:42:18,923 --> 00:42:21,403
I went back to selling books,
as it was sold before the war.
801
00:42:22,363 --> 00:42:23,764
That would be...
802
00:42:25,564 --> 00:42:27,083
for old times.
803
00:42:28,924 --> 00:42:30,683
And we help you...
804
00:42:31,804 --> 00:42:32,804
find it.
805
00:42:33,244 --> 00:42:34,643
And they were very kind.
806
00:42:36,803 --> 00:42:38,363
How is this working?
807
00:42:39,403 --> 00:42:40,483
It is complicated.
808
00:42:42,283 --> 00:42:44,563
Well, yes, I imagine it is.
809
00:42:45,883 --> 00:42:47,123
Delicate.
810
00:42:49,123 --> 00:42:51,244
And we wouldn't want
that nothing goes wrong...
811
00:42:52,924 --> 00:42:54,203
why not?
812
00:43:46,285 --> 00:43:47,285
So...
813
00:43:47,644 --> 00:43:49,243
What do we think of him?
814
00:43:50,363 --> 00:43:51,403
From Jack.
815
00:43:51,540 --> 00:43:53,018
I put it in the attic room.
816
00:43:53,019 --> 00:43:54,538
Like Mrs. Rochester.
817
00:43:54,923 --> 00:43:56,562
Just a little more masculine.
818
00:43:56,563 --> 00:43:59,562
Has it ever occurred to you that it's so...
819
00:43:59,563 --> 00:44:01,363
- Bibliophile?
- Because of your name.
820
00:44:02,243 --> 00:44:04,564
Nominative determinism.
821
00:44:05,123 --> 00:44:07,684
I mean,
If you had called yourself Butcher,
822
00:44:08,563 --> 00:44:11,284
you could be slicing cuts of meat.
823
00:44:12,364 --> 00:44:13,444
Quarter,
824
00:44:13,746 --> 00:44:15,042
That's the word.
825
00:44:15,163 --> 00:44:17,002
Removing fat from a carcass.
826
00:44:17,003 --> 00:44:19,283
What a wonderfully descriptive word, quarter.
827
00:44:19,523 --> 00:44:21,082
I will try my best to bring her back.
828
00:44:21,083 --> 00:44:22,963
Well, I wish you joy in this.
829
00:44:23,123 --> 00:44:25,049
Yes, you could be passing me by
black market chops
830
00:44:25,050 --> 00:44:27,291
under the counter
like Mr. Wellbeloved.
831
00:44:27,604 --> 00:44:30,282
It's much more useful than books,
in these times.
832
00:44:30,283 --> 00:44:31,763
Could have been an Archer,
833
00:44:32,044 --> 00:44:33,244
or a Baker,
834
00:44:33,403 --> 00:44:34,684
or a Chandler (cireiro).
835
00:44:35,644 --> 00:44:36,803
Speaking of which,
836
00:44:37,084 --> 00:44:38,242
"Farewell, My Lovely."
(Goodbye, My Beloved)
837
00:44:38,243 --> 00:44:39,563
Oh, are you going out again?
838
00:44:39,923 --> 00:44:41,803
You're so sharp that you still cut yourself.
839
00:44:42,124 --> 00:44:43,722
Detective fiction. American.
840
00:44:43,723 --> 00:44:45,322
A customer placed an order.
841
00:44:45,323 --> 00:44:46,683
I know it's here somewhere.
842
00:44:46,684 --> 00:44:48,642
I saw Senhora do Lago recently.
843
00:44:48,643 --> 00:44:50,563
Anyway... Jack?
844
00:44:50,683 --> 00:44:52,003
Oh.
845
00:44:52,444 --> 00:44:54,643
Definitely promising.
Definitely promising.
846
00:44:55,363 --> 00:44:57,453
And he didn't try to fake the coin.
847
00:44:57,604 --> 00:44:59,963
So, the prison did not
him a lifelong delinquent.
848
00:45:01,243 --> 00:45:02,404
Touch wood.
849
00:45:05,683 --> 00:45:07,003
And the...
850
00:45:08,044 --> 00:45:09,244
another subject?
851
00:45:12,083 --> 00:45:13,804
It's too early to tell you.
852
00:45:41,723 --> 00:45:43,924
What was so special about your book?
853
00:45:44,683 --> 00:45:49,984
Nothing, actually. It's just about
some guys playing cricket at school.
854
00:45:50,284 --> 00:45:52,098
And what do you think of Carol Darley?
855
00:45:53,243 --> 00:45:54,244
Have you read Tim?
856
00:45:54,604 --> 00:45:55,924
- I started it.
- When?
857
00:45:57,203 --> 00:45:59,563
After saving him from the incinerator.
858
00:46:04,163 --> 00:46:06,323
Book. What is your name?
859
00:46:07,804 --> 00:46:08,804
Get there.
860
00:46:10,843 --> 00:46:12,043
It's a funny name.
861
00:46:14,963 --> 00:46:15,964
Thanks.
862
00:46:19,363 --> 00:46:20,923
Stratford Perry.
863
00:46:22,298 --> 00:46:24,443
But my friends call me Trottie.
864
00:46:25,403 --> 00:46:26,803
You are splendid.
865
00:46:27,083 --> 00:46:28,204
You owe me.
866
00:46:28,523 --> 00:46:29,644
I am.
867
00:46:31,523 --> 00:46:34,471
So when I get involved
in trouble here, will you help me?
868
00:46:35,323 --> 00:46:37,564
Let's make a solemn pact.
869
00:46:50,363 --> 00:46:53,963
"'Put your strong arms around me,
Carol, and lift me up a little."
870
00:46:54,523 --> 00:46:56,203
"I can speak better this way."
871
00:47:00,643 --> 00:47:02,963
"Carol lowered his head
without a word and kissed him."
872
00:47:03,484 --> 00:47:05,764
"And thus, your friendship was sealed."
873
00:47:14,764 --> 00:47:16,163
Good evening, Mrs. Book.
874
00:47:16,564 --> 00:47:18,083
Good evening, Mr. Book.
875
00:47:34,363 --> 00:47:38,044
The daughter, the trickster,
the maid, the jailer.
876
00:47:40,283 --> 00:47:42,043
Who gave Harkup
877
00:47:42,964 --> 00:47:44,764
the deadly poison?
878
00:47:55,204 --> 00:47:56,644
To absent friends.
879
00:47:58,084 --> 00:47:59,443
To absent friends.
880
00:48:37,233 --> 00:48:39,123
Inspector? You won't believe it.
881
00:48:39,124 --> 00:48:41,164
It's not easy to surprise me, Morris.
882
00:48:42,260 --> 00:48:43,348
What it was?
883
00:48:43,349 --> 00:48:45,100
We just received the
pharmacist's will.
884
00:48:45,101 --> 00:48:46,190
Yes?
885
00:48:46,191 --> 00:48:47,501
The daughter does not inherit a seed.
886
00:48:47,723 --> 00:48:49,523
- No?
- No.
887
00:48:49,643 --> 00:48:50,723
So who inherits?
888
00:48:58,684 --> 00:48:59,723
The maid.
889
00:49:00,923 --> 00:49:02,524
Mrs. Ada Dredge.
890
00:49:05,443 --> 00:49:06,724
Mom!
891
00:49:07,924 --> 00:49:09,443
Mom!
892
00:49:10,123 --> 00:49:11,203
Mom!
893
00:49:11,808 --> 00:49:13,008
Mom!
894
00:49:19,084 --> 00:49:20,363
Mom!
895
00:49:54,703 --> 00:49:57,186
