Betty
3
00:03:37,358 --> 00:03:38,509
Good Afternoon,George
4
00:03:48,819 --> 00:03:51,362
Hello,Blair,had a look at
that property for me yet?
5
00:03:51,362 --> 00:03:53,029
-No,I do something about it tomorrow
-Good
6
00:03:54,561 --> 00:03:56,188
-Oh,Mr Blair
-Good Afternoon Miss Spence
7
00:03:56,287 --> 00:03:58,634
How very fortunate running
into you like this
8
00:03:58,634 --> 00:04:00,353
I wonder if it would be too much to ask
9
00:04:00,353 --> 00:04:02,514
if you could come out to the
Noude one day this week.
10
00:04:02,614 --> 00:04:04,517
My sister wants to change her will again
11
00:04:04,584 --> 00:04:09,646
So soon?Well,I'm going out to Craiglands
on Friday,I could call in on the way back
12
00:04:09,735 --> 00:04:13,361
Good,we'll give you tea,Amy
does so enjoy going over her will
13
00:04:13,461 --> 00:04:14,524
Yes,so I gather
14
00:04:14,524 --> 00:04:16,798
Oh,and do remember us to
your dear aunt Lin,won't you?
15
00:04:16,798 --> 00:04:18,357
-Yes,of course
-See you Friday then
16
00:04:18,452 --> 00:04:19,834
-Good Bye
-Good Bye Miss Spence
17
00:04:41,660 --> 00:04:44,460
-Are my papers(?) ready Miss Tuff
-Yes,Mr Blair,they are on your desk
18
00:04:44,677 --> 00:04:47,074
Good,I'm going off early I
want to get up to the golf club
19
00:04:47,218 --> 00:04:48,271
Very good,Mr Blair
20
00:05:14,327 --> 00:05:15,749
What's this? Who is Miss Sharpe?
21
00:05:15,749 --> 00:05:19,305
One of those two women from London
who came to live at the Franchise
22
00:05:19,371 --> 00:05:20,471
She telephoned three times
23
00:05:20,627 --> 00:05:21,971
What's it about,do you know?
24
00:05:22,070 --> 00:05:24,855
She wouldn't say,she said she
wanted to speak to you personally
25
00:05:25,163 --> 00:05:26,353
Over to your Aunt telephoned
26
00:05:26,353 --> 00:05:29,060
to remind you to collect the fish
for dinner on your way home
27
00:05:31,975 --> 00:05:33,399
You are slipping,Miss Tuff
28
00:05:34,383 --> 00:05:36,548
It should be biscuits today,
surely,it's Wednesday
29
00:05:36,983 --> 00:05:40,250
-Cake tomorrow
-We fell out of biscuits,Mr Blair
30
00:05:40,305 --> 00:05:41,310
And so is the shop
31
00:05:46,354 --> 00:05:47,391
Yes
32
00:05:47,624 --> 00:05:50,326
There is a Miss Sharpe on the
line for you,Mr Blair
33
00:05:50,940 --> 00:05:52,383
Well,put her through,will you?
34
00:05:53,343 --> 00:05:54,442
Is that Mr Blair?
35
00:05:54,834 --> 00:05:55,955
Yes,speaking
36
00:05:55,955 --> 00:05:57,505
You don't know me,Mr Blair
37
00:05:57,505 --> 00:05:59,554
My name is Sharp,Marion Sharpe
38
00:05:59,761 --> 00:06:02,323
I live at the Franchise the
house on the Laubury Road
39
00:06:02,835 --> 00:06:03,835
Yes,I know
40
00:06:03,929 --> 00:06:06,617
Mr Blair,I need a lawyer urgently
41
00:06:07,039 --> 00:06:08,868
How?What's the trouble?
42
00:06:09,812 --> 00:06:12,868
-Scotland Yard
-Scotland Yard?
43
00:06:12,868 --> 00:06:16,152
Yes,I haven't murdered anyone
if it's that what you are thinking
44
00:06:16,252 --> 00:06:17,661
but it is something quite serious
45
00:06:17,967 --> 00:06:19,254
I can't explain over the phone
46
00:06:20,967 --> 00:06:21,967
I see
47
00:06:23,167 --> 00:06:26,012
Well,I'm afraid I know very
little about criminal law,Miss Sharpe
48
00:06:27,007 --> 00:06:29,791
my firm is not really equipped
to deal with cases of that sort
49
00:06:29,791 --> 00:06:31,299
I don't want a criminal lawyer
50
00:06:31,899 --> 00:06:34,608
I've seen you in Melford
and I like you to advise me
51
00:06:34,708 --> 00:06:36,720
But you would be much
better off with a solicitor
52
00:06:36,721 --> 00:06:38,169
who is used to police cases,you know
53
00:06:38,202 --> 00:06:39,202
Someone
54
00:06:39,258 --> 00:06:40,286
Mr Blair
55
00:06:40,286 --> 00:06:43,575
There are people from Scotland Yard here
in this house and I don't know what to do
56
00:06:44,518 --> 00:06:46,955
If it is something you feel
you don't want to mixed up in
57
00:06:46,955 --> 00:06:49,397
you can always pass it on
to someone else afterwards
58
00:06:49,973 --> 00:06:51,397
Couldn't you possibly come?
59
00:06:51,594 --> 00:06:52,594
Please
60
00:06:54,759 --> 00:06:56,330
I'll be with you in about 20 minutes
61
00:07:43,096 --> 00:07:45,306
I saw you coming I didn't want you to ring
62
00:07:45,306 --> 00:07:46,835
My mother lies down in the afternoon
63
00:07:46,835 --> 00:07:49,926
and I'm hoping we can get this
business over before she wakes up
64
00:07:55,357 --> 00:07:56,886
I'm most grateful for you for coming
65
00:07:59,574 --> 00:08:01,022
The Law is in here
66
00:08:09,753 --> 00:08:11,900
-You know Inspector Hallam,of course
-Yes I think so
67
00:08:12,564 --> 00:08:14,756
And this is Inspector Grant from London
68
00:08:14,856 --> 00:08:15,891
I'm glad you come
69
00:08:15,900 --> 00:08:18,794
I couldn't very well proceed unless
Miss Sharpe had some legal support
70
00:08:18,892 --> 00:08:19,892
I see
71
00:08:19,905 --> 00:08:21,370
And what are you charging her with?
72
00:08:21,391 --> 00:08:23,061
We are not charging her with anything,yet
73
00:08:23,061 --> 00:08:25,281
I'm supposed to have kidnapped
and beaten up a girl
74
00:08:25,299 --> 00:08:26,748
Perhaps I'd better explain explain
75
00:08:26,847 --> 00:08:29,098
Yes do,after all it is your story
76
00:08:36,276 --> 00:08:38,205
Some weeks ago a girl called Betty Kane
77
00:08:38,205 --> 00:08:41,224
went to spend her holiday with an
aunt in a little place called Stone Hill
78
00:08:41,224 --> 00:08:42,423
between here and Larborough
79
00:08:42,423 --> 00:08:43,740
I know Stone Hill
80
00:08:43,816 --> 00:08:46,985
When the time came for the girl to go
back to school she hadn't returned home
81
00:08:47,333 --> 00:08:50,508
So her guardian,a Mrs Wynn,
wrote to the aunt to send her back
82
00:08:51,036 --> 00:08:52,135
The aunt immediately wired
83
00:08:52,135 --> 00:08:54,460
to say that Betty had left for
home a fortnight previously
84
00:08:56,156 --> 00:08:57,759
The police took all the usual measures
85
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,051
but before they could really
get going the girl turned up
86
00:09:00,151 --> 00:09:02,592
she suddenly appeared at her
home in Aylesbury late one night
87
00:09:02,592 --> 00:09:05,651
wearing only a dress and
shoes in a state of collapse
88
00:09:06,895 --> 00:09:08,343
She's been badly knocked about
89
00:09:09,317 --> 00:09:11,398
She said that while she
was waiting at the bus stop
90
00:09:11,498 --> 00:09:13,385
for a coach to take her
home from her aunts
91
00:09:13,385 --> 00:09:15,369
A car pulled up with two women in it
92
00:09:15,577 --> 00:09:17,847
The younger one told her that
she has missed the coach
93
00:09:18,416 --> 00:09:20,110
And asked if they could give her a lift
94
00:09:20,142 --> 00:09:21,548
They were going nearly into Melford
95
00:09:21,648 --> 00:09:23,778
where she could catch a
different coach to Aylesbury
96
00:09:24,110 --> 00:09:26,528
By then it was beginning
to rain and growing dark
97
00:09:26,593 --> 00:09:29,124
So the girl got in beside
the old woman at the back of the car
98
00:09:29,515 --> 00:09:30,524
The old woman?
99
00:09:34,095 --> 00:09:37,438
A thin old lady like a witch
with white hair and no hat
100
00:09:37,738 --> 00:09:38,794
Dressed in black
101
00:09:41,868 --> 00:09:44,289
Ha,three strange men
102
00:09:52,540 --> 00:09:53,666
May I present them,mother
103
00:09:54,774 --> 00:09:56,538
This is Mr Blair of Blair & Sons
104
00:09:57,210 --> 00:10:00,118
the firm who had that lovely
old house by the Wool Market
105
00:10:01,514 --> 00:10:02,772
Need re tidying
106
00:10:05,545 --> 00:10:08,093
And this is Inspector
Hallam of our local police
107
00:10:11,071 --> 00:10:13,840
You shouldn't had sat in that
chair,you are far too heavy for it
108
00:10:15,484 --> 00:10:17,541
And this is Inspector
Grant from Scotland Yard
109
00:10:19,438 --> 00:10:20,438
Mrs Sharpe
110
00:10:20,455 --> 00:10:21,462
I'll tell her
111
00:10:21,550 --> 00:10:26,175
Mother,the Inspector wants us to see a
young girl who's waiting in a car outside
112
00:10:26,330 --> 00:10:28,408
She was missing from home
for two weeks or more
113
00:10:28,408 --> 00:10:29,740
And when she turned up again
114
00:10:29,740 --> 00:10:32,993
she said she'd be detained by people
who wanted to make a servant of her
115
00:10:33,141 --> 00:10:36,101
And when she refused,
they locked her up and beat her
116
00:10:36,304 --> 00:10:37,449
And starved her
117
00:10:37,449 --> 00:10:38,939
How very enterprising of them
118
00:10:39,622 --> 00:10:41,072
It's not a joke,mother
119
00:10:41,534 --> 00:10:44,635
The suggestion is that she was
kept a prisoner in our attic
120
00:10:45,455 --> 00:10:47,591
And what did we beat her with?
121
00:10:47,833 --> 00:10:49,356
I wouldn't know
122
00:10:49,851 --> 00:10:52,615
The point is the Inspector
wants us to meet this girl
123
00:10:53,254 --> 00:10:55,162
So that she can say
we are the people or not
124
00:10:55,744 --> 00:10:57,747
Have you any objections,Mrs Sharpe?
125
00:10:59,081 --> 00:11:02,684
On the contrary,Inspector,I look
forward to the meeting with impatience
126
00:11:05,002 --> 00:11:06,015
It's not every afternoon
127
00:11:06,015 --> 00:11:09,421
that I lie down to rest a dull old woman
and rise up a potential monster
128
00:11:11,217 --> 00:11:13,787
Then if you excuse me,I go and get the girl
129
00:11:13,887 --> 00:11:14,975
Just a moment
130
00:11:15,322 --> 00:11:18,142
Might I know your reason for
bringing in the girl to this house?
131
00:11:18,178 --> 00:11:19,188
Certainly
132
00:11:19,286 --> 00:11:21,217
First is the reference to
Melford and secondly
133
00:11:22,537 --> 00:11:24,614
I read you the extract from her statement
134
00:11:26,025 --> 00:11:27,027
From the attic
135
00:11:27,028 --> 00:11:30,440
I could see a high stone wall with a
big iron gate in the middle of it
136
00:11:34,556 --> 00:11:36,464
There was a road on
the other side of the wall
137
00:11:37,072 --> 00:11:39,381
I couldn't see the traffic
because the wall was too high
138
00:11:39,448 --> 00:11:40,906
And I couldn't see through the gates
139
00:11:41,006 --> 00:11:43,561
because they had shield
surveyor on the inside
140
00:11:43,834 --> 00:11:46,351
Inside the gate the drive
went straight for the little(?)
141
00:11:46,351 --> 00:11:49,659
and then went round in a
funny little circle to the front door
142
00:11:51,674 --> 00:11:53,401
The whole story is absolutely fantastic
143
00:11:53,401 --> 00:11:55,702
no one could hope to get a
servant by kidnapping her?
144
00:11:55,702 --> 00:11:57,367
No normal person of course
145
00:11:58,086 --> 00:12:00,844
But believe me I'd come across
dozen things more incredible
146
00:12:01,157 --> 00:12:03,613
There's no end to the extravagance
of human conduct
147
00:12:03,888 --> 00:12:06,740
I agree but the extravagance is
just as likely be in the girl's conduct
148
00:12:06,860 --> 00:12:08,689
After all she's the one
who has been missing
149
00:12:09,632 --> 00:12:12,245
Also these ladies may be able to
provide a perfectly good alibi
150
00:12:12,345 --> 00:12:13,886
for the day in question
151
00:12:14,138 --> 00:12:15,168
I'm afraid not,Mr Blair
152
00:12:15,890 --> 00:12:17,427
Our days here vary so little
153
00:12:18,189 --> 00:12:21,865
I've no idea what I was doing on that day
and I don't suppose my mother has either
154
00:12:21,865 --> 00:12:24,433
Complaining about the weather most likely
155
00:12:25,285 --> 00:12:27,146
Is there no one else who might remember?
156
00:12:27,146 --> 00:12:28,146
No one
157
00:12:28,231 --> 00:12:29,240
We live alone
158
00:12:29,781 --> 00:12:31,165
We never been able to keep a maid
159
00:12:32,092 --> 00:12:33,543
The Franchise is so lonely
160
00:12:34,725 --> 00:12:36,994
-This girl,Betty,
-Kane
161
00:12:36,994 --> 00:12:38,291
Betty Kane
162
00:12:38,629 --> 00:12:39,976
May we know some more about her?
163
00:12:40,283 --> 00:12:42,045
Why guardian and not parent for instance?
164
00:12:42,499 --> 00:12:43,674
She is an orphan
165
00:12:43,784 --> 00:12:46,717
She was evacuated as a small
child and billeted on this Mrs Wynn
166
00:12:46,717 --> 00:12:48,725
who has a boy of her own two
or three years older
167
00:12:48,824 --> 00:12:50,333
What happened to the girl's parents?
168
00:12:50,333 --> 00:12:51,841
They were both killed in the bombing
169
00:12:51,941 --> 00:12:54,749
Mrs Wynn are grown very fond of the
child and was glad to keep her
170
00:12:54,801 --> 00:12:56,221
She looks on Mrs Wynn as her mother
171
00:12:56,221 --> 00:12:58,377
I see, what about the girl's character?
172
00:12:58,377 --> 00:12:59,825
A very quiet girl by all accounts
173
00:12:59,825 --> 00:13:02,598
she has never been in any kind
of trouble either in school or out
174
00:13:02,598 --> 00:13:03,688
Mrs Wynn her guardian?
175
00:13:03,787 --> 00:13:06,174
A very sensible woman all together
she's behaved admirably
176
00:13:06,174 --> 00:13:10,774
In all that remains is for us to take
with the same admirable detachment
177
00:13:14,394 --> 00:13:17,045
Miss Sharpe,the girl not
only describes your house
178
00:13:17,715 --> 00:13:19,971
she has described you and
your mother accurately
179
00:13:20,258 --> 00:13:21,682
You must see my position
180
00:13:22,131 --> 00:13:24,268
Yes, I suppose I must
181
00:13:24,268 --> 00:13:26,747
Then if you are ready and
Mr Blair has no further questions
182
00:13:26,747 --> 00:13:27,896
No,not at the moment
183
00:13:29,060 --> 00:13:30,949
Then I bring her in
184
00:13:33,647 --> 00:13:37,138
Do you wonder that I wanted
help in a hurry,Mr Blair?
185
00:13:37,361 --> 00:13:38,377
No,I don't
186
00:13:38,542 --> 00:13:41,414
It was good that Mr Blair to come at
such a short notice and so quickly
187
00:13:41,602 --> 00:13:42,792
Wasn't it mother?
188
00:13:43,109 --> 00:13:44,634
You have licence(?) well Mr Blair
189
00:13:45,431 --> 00:13:46,431
Why Mrs Sharpe?
190
00:13:46,492 --> 00:13:49,656
I imaging that defending criminal
lunatics is a little out of your line
191
00:13:50,404 --> 00:13:51,886
I find it extremely stimulating
192
00:13:51,886 --> 00:13:53,696
Yes I expected that the (?)in Melford are
193
00:13:53,696 --> 00:13:56,584
somewhat scarce most are addicted to golf
194
00:13:56,613 --> 00:13:59,473
as you have gathered we
had more interest in vices
195
00:14:13,252 --> 00:14:14,727
Yes,these are the women
196
00:14:17,246 --> 00:14:18,994
It's a very grave accusation,you know
197
00:14:19,527 --> 00:14:21,278
-You've no doubt about it?
-No
198
00:14:22,147 --> 00:14:23,503
A remarkable liar
199
00:14:24,901 --> 00:14:26,399
Might I ask Miss Kane a question?
200
00:14:26,399 --> 00:14:28,988
Yes,she doesn't need to answer
if she doesn't want to
201
00:14:29,739 --> 00:14:31,241
-Miss Kane?
-Yes
202
00:14:32,287 --> 00:14:35,168
How did these ladies come
to bring you into this house?
203
00:14:36,386 --> 00:14:37,464
While we were in the car
204
00:14:37,564 --> 00:14:40,514
they said I had time to come in to
have a cup of something hot with them
205
00:14:40,574 --> 00:14:43,198
That I only had to wait in the
rain if I got to Melford too soon
206
00:14:43,826 --> 00:14:44,879
What happened then?
207
00:14:45,573 --> 00:14:47,233
They brought me and gave me some coffee
208
00:14:47,564 --> 00:14:49,544
As soon as I drank it I
began to feel very sleepy
209
00:14:50,462 --> 00:14:51,702
And what did we do?
210
00:14:52,085 --> 00:14:54,465
That when you asked me if I'd
like to stay and work for you
211
00:14:54,465 --> 00:14:56,165
And what did you say?
212
00:14:56,578 --> 00:14:57,904
I said no of course
213
00:14:58,903 --> 00:14:59,997
And then you said
214
00:15:00,364 --> 00:15:03,523
I could at least come upstairs and
see what a nice bedroom I'd had if I stayed
215
00:15:04,709 --> 00:15:07,318
I don't remember much
more until I woke up,up there
216
00:15:08,794 --> 00:15:12,054
Now the girl has identified us
what do you propose to do? Arrest us?
217
00:15:12,365 --> 00:15:13,628
I want to take a look upstairs
218
00:15:14,281 --> 00:15:16,546
So Miss Kane's description
of the attic can be verified
219
00:15:17,796 --> 00:15:19,960
If it is I report on the
case to my superior
220
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,149
and he decides what further steps to take
221
00:15:22,473 --> 00:15:24,634
An admirable precaution,Inspector
222
00:15:25,074 --> 00:15:28,332
Now,if you excuse me, I shall go
back to my interrupted rest
223
00:15:28,432 --> 00:15:31,311
But don't you want to be present
when we verify Miss Kane's statement?
224
00:15:31,311 --> 00:15:34,844
Oh dear no I've not the faintest
doubt Miss Kane will identify the attic
225
00:15:34,844 --> 00:15:37,993
Indeed I should be surprised
beyond belief if she failed to do so
226
00:15:45,035 --> 00:15:47,064
For two people who have
been in such close contact
227
00:15:47,064 --> 00:15:48,685
we're distressingly unacquainted
228
00:15:48,685 --> 00:15:51,967
I hope to know you much better
before this affair is finished,Miss Kane
229
00:15:53,009 --> 00:15:54,030
Good Bye,Mr Blair
230
00:15:54,577 --> 00:15:56,532
I hope you continue to find it stimulating
231
00:16:01,358 --> 00:16:04,686
And now Miss Sharpe if you don't mind
perhaps we could take a look at the attic
232
00:16:06,083 --> 00:16:07,083
Certainly
233
00:16:09,904 --> 00:16:13,269
The statement goes on "when
I woke up it was daylight
234
00:16:13,269 --> 00:16:16,265
The light was coming in through a
round window up near the roof
235
00:16:17,961 --> 00:16:20,896
I found most of my clothes had
been taken so I couldn't run away
236
00:16:21,183 --> 00:16:22,395
They left me only a slip
237
00:16:23,057 --> 00:16:26,360
The younger woman came in and try to
persuade me to give the maid's job a trial
238
00:16:26,596 --> 00:16:28,774
I asked her to give me back
my clothes and let me go
239
00:16:29,247 --> 00:16:30,496
But she wouldn't
240
00:16:30,496 --> 00:16:31,669
The bed was in that corner
241
00:16:40,441 --> 00:16:41,776
There are castor marks there
242
00:16:42,476 --> 00:16:45,225
There was a bed there,we
got rid of it a few days ago
243
00:16:45,575 --> 00:16:46,760
Why was that?
244
00:16:47,026 --> 00:16:48,159
We didn't need it
245
00:16:49,823 --> 00:16:51,345
What else was in the room,Miss Kane?
246
00:16:51,690 --> 00:16:54,097
You speak of a chair,
a table and a wash stand
247
00:16:54,097 --> 00:16:56,993
It wasn't a real table,it was
a sort of old fashioned trunk
248
00:16:57,380 --> 00:16:58,621
I used to have my supper on it
249
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,038
That's the wash stand
250
00:17:03,486 --> 00:17:04,950
Can you describe the trunk?
251
00:17:06,758 --> 00:17:10,373
It was dark brown with a
flat top,it was quite big
252
00:17:11,624 --> 00:17:13,210
It had like ribs round it
253
00:17:13,377 --> 00:17:14,709
Have you a box room,Miss Sharpe?
254
00:17:15,607 --> 00:17:18,389
Inspector,I'm not going to disturb
my mother again this afternoon
255
00:17:19,197 --> 00:17:21,736
I must admit there is just
such a trunk her room
256
00:17:22,466 --> 00:17:24,804
It is brown it has a wooden bands around it
257
00:17:25,334 --> 00:17:26,563
It's quite an ordinary trunk
258
00:17:26,887 --> 00:17:28,059
And the chair?
259
00:17:28,519 --> 00:17:30,040
I'm afraid I can't help you about that
260
00:17:31,353 --> 00:17:33,387
What kind of chair was it Miss Kane?
261
00:17:34,584 --> 00:17:35,851
I don't remember
262
00:17:37,082 --> 00:17:39,207
She took it away after I
tried to break the window
263
00:17:40,554 --> 00:17:42,030
You can see where I hit it
264
00:17:44,065 --> 00:17:45,837
That was the first time she went for me
265
00:17:47,026 --> 00:17:48,922
How did you get away from here eventually?
266
00:17:51,013 --> 00:17:52,969
The old woman brought me
some porridge one night
267
00:17:53,765 --> 00:17:57,544
and as she went out I noticed the key
made a funny clicking noise in the lock
268
00:17:59,562 --> 00:18:01,295
I tried to worm it open
269
00:18:01,838 --> 00:18:04,393
I waited for a few minutes cause
I thought it was another trap
270
00:18:04,842 --> 00:18:05,842
And then?
271
00:18:06,638 --> 00:18:07,956
I crept down to the landing
272
00:18:08,701 --> 00:18:11,492
I could hear them talking in the
kitchen,so I went out the front way
273
00:18:11,592 --> 00:18:14,163
In your statement you said
you were only wearing a slip
274
00:18:14,163 --> 00:18:16,200
didn't you arrive home in a dress?
275
00:18:16,226 --> 00:18:18,723
I forgot to say that her slip
had been changed for her dress
276
00:18:18,823 --> 00:18:22,644
there is no heating in here in nothing
but a slip she'd probably had died
277
00:18:22,644 --> 00:18:23,670
If she was ever here
278
00:18:24,624 --> 00:18:26,174
If,as you say,she was ever here
279
00:18:28,220 --> 00:18:30,168
And now the garage if you please
280
00:18:35,056 --> 00:18:37,007
One of the wheels was being lighter than
281
00:18:37,007 --> 00:18:38,921
the others and it didn't
look as if it belonged
282
00:18:39,203 --> 00:18:41,137
The different wheel was
in front and on my side
283
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,137
I noticed it when they first
stopped to pick me up
284
00:18:49,725 --> 00:18:52,246
Well,Miss Sharpe I think that's
what about all for the moment
285
00:18:52,587 --> 00:18:56,201
Before you go,Inspector, I should like
make my position absolutely clear
286
00:18:57,357 --> 00:18:58,810
I think I owe that to Mr Blair
287
00:19:00,491 --> 00:19:03,118
And I am glad that this girl is
presently here what I have to say
288
00:19:04,724 --> 00:19:06,776
I've never to my knowledge seen her before
289
00:19:07,389 --> 00:19:08,746
I did not give her lift anywhere
290
00:19:08,747 --> 00:19:09,814
on any occasion
291
00:19:10,586 --> 00:19:13,286
She was not brought into the house
either by me nor by my mother
292
00:19:14,083 --> 00:19:15,464
Nor was she kept here
293
00:19:15,956 --> 00:19:17,222
Is that clear?
294
00:19:17,242 --> 00:19:18,251
Very
295
00:19:18,251 --> 00:19:19,341
In other words,Inspector
296
00:19:19,441 --> 00:19:22,431
my clients asked you for this as
a complete denial of the girl's story
297
00:19:22,458 --> 00:19:23,458
Quite
298
00:19:23,918 --> 00:19:28,212
I shall be able to get you,I suppose,
should I want to talk to you further
299
00:19:28,212 --> 00:19:30,556
Oh,yes,Inspector,we have no
intention of going anywhere
300
00:19:52,898 --> 00:19:53,969
You're awfully late,Robert
301
00:19:54,209 --> 00:19:55,254
Yes,dear
302
00:19:55,354 --> 00:19:56,447
Did you bring the fish?
303
00:19:56,996 --> 00:19:58,167
No,dear
304
00:19:59,879 --> 00:20:01,122
I'm sorry,Aunt Lin,I forgot
305
00:20:01,357 --> 00:20:02,868
But I am glad we didn't wait for it
306
00:20:03,349 --> 00:20:06,629
Christine is in a huff as it is,
she wants to go a meeting
307
00:20:06,629 --> 00:20:10,258
I offered to cook the dinner myself
but of course she wouldn't hear of it
308
00:20:10,258 --> 00:20:12,535
Can't think why,you
cook just as well as she does
309
00:20:12,535 --> 00:20:17,176
Oh no,she doesn't,does anyone thinks that
your aunt makes better than me,Mr Robert?
310
00:20:17,453 --> 00:20:19,389
Hot cross buns but only once a year
311
00:20:19,703 --> 00:20:21,646
No one makes butter
tarts like you,Christine
312
00:20:23,013 --> 00:20:24,552
What kept you so late,dear?
313
00:20:24,672 --> 00:20:25,951
I rang up the golf club
314
00:20:25,951 --> 00:20:28,041
I had to go out to the Franchise
315
00:20:28,426 --> 00:20:31,045
Those people?I didn't know you knew them
316
00:20:31,647 --> 00:20:33,643
I didn't,they wanted some legal advice
317
00:20:34,718 --> 00:20:37,446
Well,I hope you get paid,dear,
they haven't any money,you know
318
00:20:37,446 --> 00:20:38,446
So I gathered
319
00:20:39,149 --> 00:20:41,777
The father drank himself to death
and left them without a penny
320
00:20:42,697 --> 00:20:45,369
Old Mrs Sharpe kept a
boardinghouse in London
321
00:20:45,404 --> 00:20:46,943
and her daughter was made a war worker
322
00:20:47,311 --> 00:20:50,718
Yes,yes and they were just
being turned out into the street
323
00:20:50,718 --> 00:20:55,110
when the old man at the
Franchise died so providential
324
00:20:55,110 --> 00:20:57,051
He was some sort of friend of the mothers
325
00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,619
Aunt Lin,where do you
get all these stories?
326
00:20:59,764 --> 00:21:01,817
But it's true,dear,perfectly true
327
00:21:02,029 --> 00:21:03,068
It's gossip
328
00:21:03,168 --> 00:21:06,000
I never pass on gossip,Robert,you know that
329
00:21:06,651 --> 00:21:11,833
Speak no evil,see no evil,there
are no evil,please hurry up,Mr Roberts
330
00:21:12,331 --> 00:21:14,002
I'm sorry,Christine,I started later
331
00:21:14,481 --> 00:21:17,165
You'd be late for the last
judgement,then where will you be
332
00:21:17,623 --> 00:21:18,677
Where indeed
333
00:21:22,185 --> 00:21:23,798
What's the Franchise like,dear?
334
00:21:24,033 --> 00:21:26,640
I always wondered what
was behind those iron gates
335
00:21:26,922 --> 00:21:29,644
Rather gloomy they got some
nice pieces of furniture then
336
00:21:31,148 --> 00:21:33,534
Not so well kept as ours I'll be bound
337
00:21:37,355 --> 00:21:38,894
Have they got a maid now?
338
00:21:39,246 --> 00:21:40,326
Hm,no
339
00:21:40,951 --> 00:21:44,339
Well I'm not surprised,they
starved the last one,you know
340
00:21:44,439 --> 00:21:45,500
Aunt Lin
341
00:21:45,687 --> 00:21:46,771
But I assure you
342
00:21:47,061 --> 00:21:51,587
For breakfast she had the crust soft
for toast and then they had a milk pudding
343
00:21:51,587 --> 00:21:54,592
Auntie,you really must
go on repeating such things
344
00:21:54,692 --> 00:21:57,324
That bit about the maid is particular
dangerous for them just now
345
00:21:57,424 --> 00:21:58,498
Why?
346
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,921
They may have to answer
a charge of kidnapping one
347
00:22:00,921 --> 00:22:03,202
There,what did I tell you?
348
00:22:04,103 --> 00:22:06,553
Oh,Robert I suppose you
know what you are doing
349
00:22:06,553 --> 00:22:10,539
But it does seem very odd that you
should be mixed up with people like that
350
00:22:10,803 --> 00:22:13,216
I'm not mixed up with
them,I'm acting for them
351
00:22:13,537 --> 00:22:16,075
But Robert,this is quite out of your line
352
00:22:16,075 --> 00:22:19,902
The firm hasn't handled a criminal
case sine your dear grandfather's time
353
00:22:20,368 --> 00:22:23,823
When the old squire got drunk
and carried off young Polly Gratten
354
00:22:24,233 --> 00:22:26,766
And that was a most unpleasant business
355
00:22:27,055 --> 00:22:28,103
It was indeed
356
00:22:28,283 --> 00:22:29,903
He wasn't looking for a servant
357
00:22:35,338 --> 00:22:36,972
-Good Morning,Mr Blair
-Good morning,Bill
358
00:22:37,634 --> 00:22:38,725
Good Morning,Mr Blair
359
00:22:38,822 --> 00:22:40,683
Your car won't be ready
for another 10 minutes
360
00:22:40,882 --> 00:22:42,963
I'll drive it down to the
office for you if you like
361
00:22:42,964 --> 00:22:44,032
All right,thanks Stan
362
00:22:44,131 --> 00:22:45,451
Do you know anything for today?
363
00:22:45,451 --> 00:22:47,129
Not a thing,I hadn't had a bet for weeks
364
00:22:47,129 --> 00:22:49,682
Ah I'm 2 £ down on a cow called BuyPromise
365
00:22:49,711 --> 00:22:51,610
Let me know when you do
have some,won't you?
366
00:22:51,710 --> 00:22:52,807
Sure
367
00:22:59,820 --> 00:23:02,546
Nice little number that,
reminds me of a Brit I knew in Egypt
368
00:23:02,546 --> 00:23:05,884
same kind of eyes looked as if
butter wouldn't melt in her mouth
369
00:23:06,540 --> 00:23:08,425
-Can I borrow this?
-Sure I'm finished with it
370
00:23:08,425 --> 00:23:09,425
371
00:23:17,246 --> 00:23:18,586
-Good Morning
-I say
372
00:23:20,267 --> 00:23:22,308
I hear your car was outside
the Franchise yesterday
373
00:23:22,797 --> 00:23:24,844
-Yes
-A police car too,I'm told
374
00:23:25,140 --> 00:23:26,179
Was it?
375
00:23:26,413 --> 00:23:27,886
-You acting for these women?
-Yes
376
00:23:28,326 --> 00:23:29,682
Being quite a smart aren't they?
377
00:23:30,367 --> 00:23:32,348
This is the blessing of
our legal system, Carley
378
00:23:32,348 --> 00:23:34,795
is people are presumed innocent
until they are proved guilty
379
00:23:34,795 --> 00:23:37,222
But this is enough to stir up
public opinion against them
380
00:23:37,222 --> 00:23:38,898
till they won't dare to show their faces
381
00:23:39,247 --> 00:23:42,408
You know there is a strong belief around
here that they are witches,don't you?
382
00:23:42,461 --> 00:23:45,152
Just as well as witch hunting
is no longer popular then,isn't it?
383
00:23:45,186 --> 00:23:46,200
Don't you believe it
384
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,025
give half these people a chance
and they'll witch hunt for the best
385
00:23:49,125 --> 00:23:50,304
Really
386
00:23:50,498 --> 00:23:51,673
Then I'll be seeing you
387
00:23:56,634 --> 00:23:59,483
Says she was kidnapped
two Melford women questioned
388
00:24:01,493 --> 00:24:03,364
I suppose we should
consider ourselves lucky
389
00:24:03,364 --> 00:24:06,311
as they didn't publish our
photographs or at least our names
390
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,504
Shouldn't congratulate yourselves
about that too much
391
00:24:10,092 --> 00:24:12,658
From what I hear people have
already put two and two together
392
00:24:12,758 --> 00:24:15,198
And now they are saying
the police is failing to their duty
393
00:24:15,199 --> 00:24:16,410
and not arresting us of course
394
00:24:17,143 --> 00:24:18,590
If the girl was never here
395
00:24:18,590 --> 00:24:20,841
How could she have known about this house?
396
00:24:21,362 --> 00:24:22,454
She did know quite a bit
397
00:24:25,984 --> 00:24:27,786
I just can't explain it
398
00:24:28,245 --> 00:24:29,813
Even the gates are never left open
399
00:24:29,813 --> 00:24:31,839
And certainly couldn't see over the wall
400
00:24:32,135 --> 00:24:33,637
The whole thing is extraordinary
401
00:24:35,468 --> 00:24:37,120
I think all our effort have to be devoted
402
00:24:37,120 --> 00:24:40,386
proving not that the girl
wasn't here at the Franchise
403
00:24:40,386 --> 00:24:42,962
during those weeks but
she was somewhere else
404
00:24:43,809 --> 00:24:46,562
What can we do in way
of private investigation
405
00:24:46,651 --> 00:24:48,493
I expect you realize
we've very little money
406
00:24:50,190 --> 00:24:53,289
To begin with I'm going myself to
see the various people involved
407
00:24:53,580 --> 00:24:57,319
To find out,if possible,on what lines
any inquiry should be based
408
00:24:59,895 --> 00:25:01,684
Extraordinary kind Mr Blair
409
00:25:03,011 --> 00:25:04,802
I hope you won't regret it
410
00:25:11,427 --> 00:25:13,613
You've been here about a
couple of years,haven't you?
411
00:25:13,713 --> 00:25:17,313
Yes,I am afraid we are still looked
upon us as foreigners in Melford
412
00:25:18,457 --> 00:25:21,173
I suppose we've kept ourselves
to ourselves a little too much
413
00:25:22,143 --> 00:25:23,909
But we've enjoyed the privacy of this house
414
00:25:24,354 --> 00:25:26,271
It's so wonderful having a home of our own
415
00:25:26,611 --> 00:25:28,838
Mother and I have always
lived in boardinghouses
416
00:25:28,858 --> 00:25:31,952
My father was one of those optimist
who was always going to do(?) it tomorrow
417
00:25:32,409 --> 00:25:33,585
He died without a penny
418
00:25:33,828 --> 00:25:34,991
What did you do?
419
00:25:34,991 --> 00:25:38,439
I wasn't trained for a profession so
my life has been spent in odd jobs
420
00:25:38,888 --> 00:25:42,753
You know,helping those gentile
businesses,tea shops,flowers
421
00:25:42,996 --> 00:25:45,097
bric-a-brac,lampshades
422
00:25:45,624 --> 00:25:48,073
Old Mr Crowe who left us
this house was my father's cousin
423
00:25:48,443 --> 00:25:49,971
I remember the old chap well
424
00:25:51,718 --> 00:25:54,126
It's good of you to show
confidence in us,Mr Blair
425
00:25:54,126 --> 00:25:56,669
when are you then
start your investigations?
426
00:25:56,669 --> 00:25:59,982
Today I begin with this Mrs
Wynn,the girl's guardian
427
00:26:01,937 --> 00:26:02,991
Excuse me
428
00:26:08,061 --> 00:26:09,061
Hello
429
00:26:09,189 --> 00:26:10,247
Is this the Franchise?
430
00:26:10,746 --> 00:26:11,746
Yes
431
00:26:11,825 --> 00:26:16,011
You and your old mother better
clear out quick,if you don't we'll...
432
00:26:27,261 --> 00:26:28,318
What's the matter?
433
00:26:28,418 --> 00:26:30,290
Some woman,she sounded crazy
434
00:26:30,290 --> 00:26:33,467
something about whips,she'd
say they'd whip us out of town
435
00:26:33,467 --> 00:26:36,291
and all this caused by a slip of a girl
436
00:26:36,291 --> 00:26:38,149
Where was she during those weeks?
437
00:26:38,455 --> 00:26:39,990
I'm glad someone took it over
438
00:26:40,336 --> 00:26:41,842
I hope I meet them someday
439
00:26:42,174 --> 00:26:44,045
I'd like to shake them by the hand
440
00:26:48,832 --> 00:26:51,360
Mr Blair,if they did take this to court
441
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:54,096
and did get a verdict,what
would that mean for us?
442
00:26:55,122 --> 00:26:58,126
I'm not sure whether it would be
2 years imprisonment or 7 there
443
00:26:58,126 --> 00:27:01,235
I told you I was a broken reed where
criminal procedures was concerned
444
00:27:02,035 --> 00:27:03,120
I'll have to look it up
445
00:27:03,402 --> 00:27:05,934
Yes,do there's quite a difference
446
00:27:13,303 --> 00:27:15,469
You are under no obligation
to talk to me,Mrs Wynn but
447
00:27:15,569 --> 00:27:18,833
I very much hope that you won't
refuse I won't keep you a moment
448
00:27:19,122 --> 00:27:20,150
We have nothing to hide
449
00:27:20,636 --> 00:27:22,271
Is Betty in?
450
00:27:22,271 --> 00:27:25,612
No,she's gone to the
pictures with Leslis,my son
451
00:27:26,409 --> 00:27:29,715
I was rather surprised that
newspaper getting hold of this story
452
00:27:29,715 --> 00:27:32,698
I should have thought you'd been very
much against that kind of publicity
453
00:27:32,981 --> 00:27:34,538
I am,I was very annoyed about it
454
00:27:34,935 --> 00:27:36,311
I'm afraid it was Leslis's doing
455
00:27:36,512 --> 00:27:38,984
he was so furious of the
police not making an arrest
456
00:27:39,494 --> 00:27:41,748
That was foolish thing for him
to have done,of course
457
00:27:41,749 --> 00:27:44,605
but the trouble is he's always
been so devoted to Betty
458
00:27:45,457 --> 00:27:47,448
Is this Leslis with her here?
459
00:27:47,448 --> 00:27:48,448
Yes
460
00:27:48,471 --> 00:27:49,997
One time they were quite inseparable
461
00:27:50,584 --> 00:27:51,710
Aren't they now then?
462
00:27:51,810 --> 00:27:55,037
Well,Leslis did get rather interested in
the girl down the road for a while ago
463
00:27:55,037 --> 00:27:57,160
You know what boys of 19 are
464
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:58,275
How did Betty liked that?
465
00:27:58,275 --> 00:28:00,582
Well I expect she missed
not coming first in for a time
466
00:28:00,582 --> 00:28:01,870
She wasn't jealous?
467
00:28:01,870 --> 00:28:02,906
I don't think so
468
00:28:03,364 --> 00:28:04,991
She's a nice girl,Mr Blair
469
00:28:05,777 --> 00:28:07,119
So I understand
470
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,603
I've always wanted a daughter
and Betty filled that gap
471
00:28:10,905 --> 00:28:12,584
She was terribly knocked about you know
472
00:28:13,782 --> 00:28:16,739
Did she have anything in her
pockets when she came home,Mrs Wynn?
473
00:28:17,454 --> 00:28:19,537
She only had one pocket,one in her dress
474
00:28:19,537 --> 00:28:21,137
Was there anything in it?
475
00:28:21,137 --> 00:28:22,160
Just a lipstick
476
00:28:22,892 --> 00:28:24,188
A lipstick?
477
00:28:24,202 --> 00:28:25,728
She's a bit young for that,isn't she?
478
00:28:25,728 --> 00:28:26,795
My dearest,Mr Blair
479
00:28:26,858 --> 00:28:29,300
they start experimenting with
lipsticks now at the age of 10
480
00:28:29,300 --> 00:28:32,709
As a wet days amusement it's taken
the place of dressing up in mother's things
481
00:28:33,385 --> 00:28:34,618
Very probably
482
00:28:35,709 --> 00:28:40,049
When she first told you her story,
did she tell it in all in one piece?
483
00:28:40,049 --> 00:28:42,327
Oh,no it was spread over a day or two
484
00:28:42,366 --> 00:28:43,384
The outline first
485
00:28:43,481 --> 00:28:45,729
And then filling in the
details as she remembered them
486
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,096
Things like the window
in the attic being round
487
00:28:49,666 --> 00:28:52,312
Should have thought her days
of coma would blur her memory
488
00:28:52,312 --> 00:28:54,558
Not with Betty,she's got
a remarkable memory
489
00:28:54,558 --> 00:28:57,717
Even as a child she could look at
the picture in a book just one instant
490
00:28:57,717 --> 00:29:00,423
and then tell you everything
there was in it
491
00:29:04,778 --> 00:29:07,109
What you might call a photographic memory
492
00:29:07,938 --> 00:29:09,691
Yes I suppose you would call it that
493
00:29:11,149 --> 00:29:13,760
Well,thank you,Mrs Wynn,I am
very grateful to you for seeing me
494
00:29:18,486 --> 00:29:19,764
Mummy,Leslis been...
495
00:29:21,468 --> 00:29:22,521
Good Afternoon
496
00:29:23,263 --> 00:29:24,263
Good Afternoon
497
00:29:24,359 --> 00:29:25,394
This is Leslis
498
00:29:25,912 --> 00:29:27,435
Your mother and I was just been saying
499
00:29:27,535 --> 00:29:30,242
what a pity it was that you
gave that story to the newspaper
500
00:29:30,285 --> 00:29:32,508
Nobody is going to ill treat
Betty and get away with it
501
00:29:47,345 --> 00:29:48,380
Mrs Wynn
502
00:29:48,479 --> 00:29:49,775
if it ever should occur to you
503
00:29:49,875 --> 00:29:52,603
that something in Betty's story
doesn't quite ring true
504
00:29:53,099 --> 00:29:55,784
I hope you won't decide
to let sleeping dogs lie
505
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:57,596
Don't pin your faith on that,Mr Blair
506
00:29:57,596 --> 00:29:58,692
You mean you would?
507
00:29:58,755 --> 00:29:59,333
No
508
00:29:59,357 --> 00:30:01,845
No I mean the hope of
my doubting Betty's story
509
00:30:01,845 --> 00:30:04,782
If I believed her in the beginning
I'm not likely to change my mind
510
00:30:06,285 --> 00:30:07,531
One never knows
511
00:30:12,352 --> 00:30:15,027
I suppose they still will have
to have a lawyer as anyone else
512
00:30:15,127 --> 00:30:17,168
But hardly expect me
to have any sympathy for them
513
00:30:17,701 --> 00:30:21,512
-After all I am Betty's aunt,Mr Blain
-The name is Blair,Mrs Jarrett
514
00:30:21,512 --> 00:30:22,760
Oh,yes of course
515
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,897
How did Betty pass her time
when she was staying with you,Mrs Jarrett?
516
00:30:25,976 --> 00:30:27,968
Oh,she went to Larborough most days
517
00:30:28,068 --> 00:30:29,091
Alone?
518
00:30:29,091 --> 00:30:32,889
Oh,she was on here on holiday,wasn't she?
Poor thing after all that school work
519
00:30:33,013 --> 00:30:35,755
What good all that book learning
does for a young girl like that
520
00:30:35,755 --> 00:30:37,047
I really don't know
521
00:30:37,294 --> 00:30:41,057
Mrs Hallop's daughter she could hardly
write her name and she married a man..
522
00:30:41,057 --> 00:30:43,221
How did she spend her time in Larborough
523
00:30:43,251 --> 00:30:44,316
Betty I mean
524
00:30:44,416 --> 00:30:45,501
At the pictures mostly
525
00:30:45,566 --> 00:30:48,743
You can do that from morning till night
in Larborough if you are given that way
526
00:30:48,874 --> 00:30:50,370
And that was Betty did?
527
00:30:50,370 --> 00:30:52,181
Well,only the mornings I think
528
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:53,730
She's sensible Betty is
529
00:30:54,183 --> 00:30:55,957
It's simpler(?)if you ban
before 12 you know
530
00:30:56,236 --> 00:30:57,782
So she didn't come back here to lunch?
531
00:30:57,882 --> 00:31:00,044
No,she had a coffee lunch
somewhere in Larborough
532
00:31:00,044 --> 00:31:02,106
we have our main meal at night,you know
533
00:31:02,643 --> 00:31:05,879
It's always been my priority to
have a good nourishing 6 o'clock meal
534
00:31:05,879 --> 00:31:07,376
What was she doing in the afternoons?
535
00:31:08,082 --> 00:31:09,380
Bus driving mostly
536
00:31:09,434 --> 00:31:12,578
Would you care for one of those biscuits,
Mr Blain,they are fresh from the tin?
537
00:31:12,678 --> 00:31:13,775
No thank you
538
00:31:13,906 --> 00:31:15,039
Bus driving,where?
539
00:31:15,349 --> 00:31:17,134
Oh anyway the fancy took her
540
00:31:17,402 --> 00:31:19,728
Did she go to Melford on the
bus,do you know Mrs Jarrett?
541
00:31:20,091 --> 00:31:22,915
They asked me that,of course,
but I couldn't say yes or no
542
00:31:23,108 --> 00:31:24,419
-They?
-The police
543
00:31:24,660 --> 00:31:25,783
Oh,yes of course
544
00:31:26,757 --> 00:31:28,928
Well,I mustn't waste your time any longer
545
00:31:30,368 --> 00:31:32,146
You are not the police,I think you said
546
00:31:32,796 --> 00:31:35,315
No,of course you are a lawyer,you told me
547
00:31:35,851 --> 00:31:38,641
I do hope I told you all the
things you wanted to know,Mr Blain
548
00:31:39,148 --> 00:31:41,446
You've been very helpful,Mrs Parrett
549
00:31:59,677 --> 00:32:01,733
-Rob my dear fellow
-Kenneth
550
00:32:01,833 --> 00:32:03,416
How are you? Sorry to keep you waiting
551
00:32:03,417 --> 00:32:04,905
The case took longer than I expected
552
00:32:04,905 --> 00:32:06,913
but as you see I dashed
straight over from courts
553
00:32:07,013 --> 00:32:08,960
I thought you dressed up
like that to impress me
554
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,001
Did you? That's look good
I think I have a scent(?)
555
00:32:11,101 --> 00:32:13,714
Ah,how are you,Kevin,Mrs
Chattle told me you were busy
556
00:32:13,714 --> 00:32:14,965
Oh,up to my eyes in it
557
00:32:14,973 --> 00:32:16,003
I'm dining out tonight
558
00:32:16,103 --> 00:32:18,890
and catching a late train
got a case of (?) tomorrow
559
00:32:19,082 --> 00:32:21,533
I didn't ask you rob all business
I never see you otherwise
560
00:32:22,629 --> 00:32:25,006
Kevin,I want some friendly advice
561
00:32:25,058 --> 00:32:26,133
What's the trouble?
562
00:32:26,233 --> 00:32:27,236
Scotland Yard
563
00:32:27,507 --> 00:32:32,093
Good heavens you must be slipping what
Scotland Yard got to do with Blair & Sons
564
00:32:32,142 --> 00:32:34,729
They are on the doorstep and
I don't know how to deal with them
565
00:32:35,830 --> 00:32:38,085
Come and tell you about all that by that(?)
566
00:32:38,146 --> 00:32:39,228
The Yard I take it
567
00:32:39,228 --> 00:32:42,268
trying to find corroborative evidence
to back up Betty Kane's story
568
00:32:42,587 --> 00:32:43,587
Got it
569
00:32:43,676 --> 00:32:45,042
If I were them I'd risk an arrest
570
00:32:45,042 --> 00:32:46,142
They got a good enough case
571
00:32:47,660 --> 00:32:49,110
Do you mean you believe her story?
572
00:32:49,408 --> 00:32:50,841
I never believe anyone's story
573
00:32:50,939 --> 00:32:53,476
What's you want to know do
I find the girl's story believable
574
00:32:53,528 --> 00:32:54,561
Of course I do
575
00:32:54,660 --> 00:32:57,159
But Kevin if you met these two
women you'll say it was absurd
576
00:32:57,159 --> 00:33:00,989
Not at all,women who live lonely lives
sometimes do extraordinary things
577
00:33:01,291 --> 00:33:02,313
Only the other day
578
00:33:02,413 --> 00:33:05,607
an elderly woman who was found
to kept her sister chained to a bed
579
00:33:05,607 --> 00:33:08,240
in a room no bigger than
a cupboard for three years
580
00:33:08,644 --> 00:33:11,349
Feed her on potato peelings and
scrapped it ,didn't want it herself
581
00:33:11,419 --> 00:33:12,497
What on earth for?
582
00:33:12,678 --> 00:33:15,900
Said her money was going away too fast
and that was her way of making ends meet
583
00:33:16,435 --> 00:33:18,121
She had quite a good bank balance actually
584
00:33:18,457 --> 00:33:21,412
Now there is much more
absurd and unbelievable stories
585
00:33:23,359 --> 00:33:25,379
I'm glad you are not
representing Betty Kane
586
00:33:25,379 --> 00:33:27,387
my clients would be behind bars already
587
00:33:27,556 --> 00:33:30,503
Mind you I could just as well to present
the case from the opposite angle
588
00:33:31,303 --> 00:33:34,568
Kevin,you are infuriating,you just said
that you find the girl's story believable
589
00:33:34,568 --> 00:33:35,675
So I do
590
00:33:35,968 --> 00:33:38,660
I could also find it believable
if it is a tissue of lies
591
00:33:38,799 --> 00:33:40,420
I could make a case for either side
592
00:33:40,431 --> 00:33:43,489
On the whole though I should
prefer to be Counsel for Betty Kane
593
00:33:44,964 --> 00:33:46,693
It must be a tissue of lies
594
00:33:46,865 --> 00:33:49,982
I'm quite sure that neither of these two
women could possibly do such a thing
595
00:33:50,042 --> 00:33:51,081
What does she look like?
596
00:33:51,214 --> 00:33:53,092
-Who?
-Betty Kane
597
00:33:53,092 --> 00:33:56,686
Now you caught,the one you're
interested in,this Marion Sharpe
598
00:33:59,343 --> 00:34:00,476
Kevin McDermott?
599
00:34:00,581 --> 00:34:02,109
Yes,he's an old friend of mine
600
00:34:02,109 --> 00:34:05,132
I just wanted to get an unbiased
opinion on the situation
601
00:34:05,132 --> 00:34:06,264
And was he helpful??
602
00:34:06,264 --> 00:34:08,368
Not really
603
00:34:09,672 --> 00:34:11,434
Have you heard anything further from Grant?
604
00:34:11,811 --> 00:34:13,345
No we hadn't heard from the police
605
00:34:13,979 --> 00:34:15,758
We had some more unpleasant telephone calls
606
00:34:15,918 --> 00:34:17,004
We stopped answering
607
00:34:17,316 --> 00:34:19,314
-That newspaper
-Yes
608
00:34:19,629 --> 00:34:21,749
A titbit like this apparently
must be a gift to them
609
00:34:22,144 --> 00:34:24,411
It will slack off it's just a tide
610
00:34:25,266 --> 00:34:26,342
Meanwhile
611
00:34:26,867 --> 00:34:28,984
We have to deal with
what's left on the beach
612
00:34:29,657 --> 00:34:30,946
A particularly horrid beach
613
00:34:31,596 --> 00:34:32,727
Anonymous letters?
614
00:34:32,727 --> 00:34:36,356
Yes,I must say they show
a very vivid imagination
615
00:34:37,325 --> 00:34:39,366
And when they arrive
at out of words ,they draw..
616
00:35:06,622 --> 00:35:09,313
Listen Hallam, you must give them
some sort of protection,you know
617
00:35:09,955 --> 00:35:13,836
I might send them men out a couple of
times a day,to show the uniform so to speak
618
00:35:14,319 --> 00:35:15,413
That'll be something
619
00:35:15,702 --> 00:35:17,180
Well,all right
620
00:35:17,419 --> 00:35:18,973
-I'll do that
-Thank you Hallam
621
00:35:22,625 --> 00:35:25,001
I think you'd better come and
padlock the gate,Miss Sharpe
622
00:35:42,722 --> 00:35:45,208
I can't imagine what it would
be like without you to help us
623
00:36:27,054 --> 00:36:28,136
Good Afternoon
624
00:36:28,137 --> 00:36:29,193
could I speak to someone
625
00:36:29,193 --> 00:36:31,685
who would know about the Larborough
to Melford bus service?
626
00:36:32,102 --> 00:36:34,273
Timetable on the wall outside
627
00:36:34,273 --> 00:36:35,510
But I don't want about times
628
00:36:35,510 --> 00:36:38,527
I want to know if you ever run
a double decker bus on that route
629
00:36:39,441 --> 00:36:40,441
No
630
00:36:45,621 --> 00:36:46,621
Never?
631
00:36:47,639 --> 00:36:48,675
Look I am a solicitor
632
00:36:48,675 --> 00:36:51,506
There are no double decker
buses on the Melford run
633
00:36:51,564 --> 00:36:52,648
What do you want?
634
00:36:52,648 --> 00:36:54,151
Could I have those spares for Norton
635
00:36:58,789 --> 00:37:00,476
(See you out on your way)
636
00:37:15,179 --> 00:37:17,928
I couldn't contradict him straight out,
not in the mode he is in now
637
00:37:18,027 --> 00:37:20,462
but he's wrong about them
double decker buses,you know?
638
00:37:20,537 --> 00:37:22,265
Once or twice this year we had to use them
639
00:37:22,364 --> 00:37:24,052
when one of the single decker broke down
640
00:37:24,143 --> 00:37:26,043
Would it be possible to
find out exactly when
641
00:37:26,043 --> 00:37:27,756
the double decker was used on that route?
642
00:37:27,836 --> 00:37:30,616
Sure,in this firm it is
recorded every time you spit
643
00:37:30,942 --> 00:37:32,125
Come on I look it up
644
00:37:34,258 --> 00:37:36,825
The double decker bus passed
the Franchise on two occasions
645
00:37:36,889 --> 00:37:39,792
during the time that Betty Kane was
staying with her aunt with her aunt
646
00:37:40,449 --> 00:37:43,510
And from the top of the bus
she could have seen over the wall
647
00:37:43,758 --> 00:37:46,556
She could have seen the round
attic window,the circular drive
648
00:37:46,556 --> 00:37:50,068
and the two women probably
getting into this car with the odd wheel
649
00:37:51,607 --> 00:37:53,736
You're taking rather lot for
granted,aren't you?
650
00:37:55,485 --> 00:37:59,148
Even if she was on one of these buses
and saw such a picture as you suggest
651
00:37:59,425 --> 00:38:01,210
She could never taken it in all in the time
652
00:38:01,410 --> 00:38:03,083
Ah,she's got a photographic memory
653
00:38:03,083 --> 00:38:04,944
I learnt that from her guardian
654
00:38:05,245 --> 00:38:07,132
This is all pure supposition,Blair
655
00:38:07,232 --> 00:38:08,258
Still doesn't explain
656
00:38:08,258 --> 00:38:11,070
how the girl was able to describe
the inside of the house,the attic
657
00:38:11,167 --> 00:38:14,222
I realize that but surely this is a
supposition you people should look into
658
00:38:14,670 --> 00:38:17,335
We are not interested in
suppositions when we got facts to go on
659
00:38:19,134 --> 00:38:21,140
You believe her story,don't you Hallam?
660
00:38:21,140 --> 00:38:22,140
Yes
661
00:38:22,174 --> 00:38:25,074
She is a genuine and nice kid I should
say,might have been one of my own
662
00:38:26,158 --> 00:38:28,425
We checked her story and it checks
663
00:38:28,841 --> 00:38:32,801
And one single piece of evidence to
back it up,we shall make an arrest
664
00:38:43,823 --> 00:38:44,890
Evening,Mr Blair
665
00:38:55,228 --> 00:38:56,520
-What is it whitewash?
-No,Sir
666
00:38:56,559 --> 00:38:58,528
Good quality paint
takes some going off
667
00:39:02,744 --> 00:39:05,327
Inspector send me out to have
a look round and there it was
668
00:39:05,365 --> 00:39:07,604
Some people never go out of it
669
00:39:08,027 --> 00:39:09,027
Out of what?
670
00:39:09,065 --> 00:39:10,565
Writing things on walls
671
00:39:10,665 --> 00:39:11,988
Does the Sharpes know about this?
672
00:39:12,055 --> 00:39:14,121
I told them and I went in to phone the Srgt
673
00:39:14,121 --> 00:39:15,376
Are you going to hang on here?
674
00:39:15,476 --> 00:39:16,985
Srgt said to stay until dark
675
00:39:17,068 --> 00:39:19,258
There really should be someone
here all night you know
676
00:39:19,358 --> 00:39:21,651
We haven't a man for spare for that,Sir
677
00:39:23,797 --> 00:39:25,491
What do you think of our wall decoration?
678
00:39:28,256 --> 00:39:29,899
It has to go to someone to clean it out
679
00:39:30,063 --> 00:39:32,458
I've tried,I've been on the
phone for at least half an hour
680
00:39:32,558 --> 00:39:35,224
Every one say they are
busy all of a sudden
681
00:39:35,307 --> 00:39:36,307
Who have you tried?
682
00:39:36,346 --> 00:39:38,652
I've tried them all,no one
can do anything tonight
683
00:39:38,652 --> 00:39:39,827
And tomorrow morning it seems
684
00:39:39,827 --> 00:39:42,976
all their men going out
early on important jobs
685
00:39:43,522 --> 00:39:44,922
-It's like that,is it?
-Yes
686
00:39:46,124 --> 00:39:47,857
And I'll see what I can do
687
00:39:53,133 --> 00:39:55,473
I find out something interesting
in Larborough today
688
00:39:55,921 --> 00:39:57,221
At least I think its interesting
689
00:39:57,603 --> 00:39:59,765
I know now how the girl
could have seen quite a lot
690
00:40:00,609 --> 00:40:03,624
Everything in fact except
the inside of the attic
691
00:40:03,631 --> 00:40:05,369
-How?
-Over the wall
692
00:40:08,674 --> 00:40:11,547
Double decker buses run past
here recently on two occasions
693
00:40:15,016 --> 00:40:16,221
I'm glad about this
694
00:40:16,980 --> 00:40:19,866
Glad because,quite
apart from everything else
695
00:40:20,147 --> 00:40:21,420
It'll help to remove any doubt
696
00:40:22,101 --> 00:40:23,104
That might just
697
00:40:23,596 --> 00:40:25,406
Muddled my crystal mind?
698
00:40:26,155 --> 00:40:27,196
Yes
699
00:40:27,850 --> 00:40:29,424
My mind is quite clear
700
00:40:31,193 --> 00:40:32,193
Thank you
701
00:40:35,253 --> 00:40:39,226
You know,Bill,when the army
gave me that free toy,Billy
702
00:40:39,512 --> 00:40:40,773
I got a phobia
703
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,524
I took a great dislike to slogans on walls
704
00:40:43,524 --> 00:40:44,719
That's funny,so did I
705
00:40:45,984 --> 00:40:46,984
Not bad
706
00:40:48,296 --> 00:40:49,896
Not bad at all considering
707
00:41:28,933 --> 00:41:30,694
I told you not to worry,Mr Blair,Inspector
708
00:41:31,325 --> 00:41:33,032
I thought Mr Blair ought to know about it
709
00:41:33,132 --> 00:41:34,132
Of course
710
00:41:34,213 --> 00:41:35,356
I got a wallop with a bottle
711
00:41:35,695 --> 00:41:38,898
Well,Mr Blair,are you still
find it stimulating?
712
00:41:39,945 --> 00:41:41,530
You plan to stay on here,Mrs Sharpe?
713
00:41:41,993 --> 00:41:43,089
Certainly
714
00:41:43,194 --> 00:41:45,709
You mustn't do that I'll find you
a quiet hotel in Larborough
715
00:41:46,006 --> 00:41:48,735
I've never heard of anything so absurd,
of course we're going to stay
716
00:41:49,217 --> 00:41:50,851
What will a few broken windows matter?
717
00:41:51,710 --> 00:41:53,295
It may not stop at broken windows
718
00:41:53,295 --> 00:41:54,295
No
719
00:41:54,327 --> 00:41:56,958
And you are a great responsibility
to us as long as you are here
720
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,503
A responsibility we really haven't
got the force to deal with
721
00:41:59,579 --> 00:42:01,420
I'm sorry to for your
nuisance,you Inspector
722
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:05,052
but this is our home and
here we are going to stay
723
00:42:05,594 --> 00:42:07,247
Quite apart from the questions of ethics
724
00:42:07,247 --> 00:42:10,131
how much of our home will there
be to come back to if we left it empty?
725
00:42:10,614 --> 00:42:13,308
I take it that if you are too short
of men to guard human beings
726
00:42:13,408 --> 00:42:16,537
you certainly haven't got enough men
to guard empty property
727
00:42:17,179 --> 00:42:19,062
Well,there is that Miss Sharpe
728
00:42:19,282 --> 00:42:22,438
And that I think poses a
question our leaving the Franchise
729
00:42:22,748 --> 00:42:23,951
-Sugar
-Yes,please,Madam
730
00:42:28,143 --> 00:42:29,145
-Mrs Sharpe
-Now look
731
00:42:29,625 --> 00:42:30,633
What you want is a lodger
732
00:42:30,633 --> 00:42:33,788
What do you say if I move in and
sleep here starting tonight
733
00:42:34,154 --> 00:42:37,631
No meals,just a sleeping night
watchman,they all sleep anyway
734
00:42:38,537 --> 00:42:41,485
-Haven't you got a wife?
-No,I'm married to a dog thus so far
735
00:42:42,198 --> 00:42:43,390
What about your landlady?
736
00:42:43,691 --> 00:42:45,184
Oughtn't we to let her know?
737
00:42:45,261 --> 00:42:46,548
I can slip a note under the door
738
00:42:46,866 --> 00:42:50,250
She won't be worried about him
anyway,he's been out nights before
739
00:42:50,627 --> 00:42:51,627
And
740
00:42:52,008 --> 00:42:53,439
Delivering cars to customers
741
00:42:53,858 --> 00:42:55,475
You can do it half a time at midnight
742
00:42:56,763 --> 00:42:59,620
Well,if you are going to be our
guest I'll go and get your room ready
743
00:42:59,687 --> 00:43:01,902
I suspect your head feels
like a very painful turnips
744
00:43:02,183 --> 00:43:03,238
Can I give you a hand?
745
00:43:03,238 --> 00:43:05,310
Yes as a matter of fact you can
746
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,800
I shall never forget what
you two have done for us
747
00:43:12,126 --> 00:43:15,747
When I think of tonight,
it won't be those louts I remember
748
00:43:15,747 --> 00:43:17,083
But you two
749
00:43:23,857 --> 00:43:26,069
What about your business Mr...
750
00:43:26,729 --> 00:43:27,772
-Peters
-No sugar,thanks
751
00:43:27,871 --> 00:43:28,961
My business?
752
00:43:29,061 --> 00:43:32,562
Well,I meant if your customers find you
become a night watchman at the Franchise
753
00:43:32,562 --> 00:43:34,324
they take their custom elsewhere
754
00:43:34,437 --> 00:43:36,000
Well,there's nowhere else to take it?
755
00:43:36,562 --> 00:43:38,214
Lynch is drunk five nights of seven
756
00:43:38,214 --> 00:43:40,285
and old Biggins couldn't
put a chain on a bicycle
757
00:43:45,114 --> 00:43:46,114
I wonder
758
00:43:46,639 --> 00:43:47,759
You wonder what?
759
00:43:48,347 --> 00:43:50,018
Suppose you went around to Scotland Yard
760
00:43:50,018 --> 00:43:52,126
and told them what you
found out about the buses
761
00:43:52,475 --> 00:43:53,831
It doesn't prove anything
762
00:43:53,861 --> 00:43:55,272
Hallam was very clear on that point
763
00:43:56,583 --> 00:43:58,285
Yes,but surely they should investigate it?
764
00:43:58,285 --> 00:44:00,954
After all the police are supposed
to be department of justice
765
00:44:00,954 --> 00:44:03,800
Department of law,justice begins in court
766
00:44:07,615 --> 00:44:09,198
You had a bad day here,haven't you?
767
00:44:10,056 --> 00:44:11,056
Yes
768
00:44:11,658 --> 00:44:14,577
Even worse than the wall and
the anonymous letters came
769
00:44:14,966 --> 00:44:17,709
We decided in future to burn
everything before we open it
770
00:44:18,096 --> 00:44:19,455
It's the best thing to do
771
00:44:19,944 --> 00:44:22,562
It was nice of you to get Stan
and Bill to clean the wall for us
772
00:44:22,951 --> 00:44:23,968
I do thank you for that
773
00:44:24,433 --> 00:44:25,682
Yes,they are good chaps
774
00:44:25,754 --> 00:44:29,612
I'll see what I can do about
the windows in the morning
775
00:44:30,644 --> 00:44:33,478
I'm afraid this horrible affair is
taken up a great deal of your time
776
00:44:34,268 --> 00:44:36,735
It's become a personal matter with me
777
00:44:37,021 --> 00:44:38,021
Personal?
778
00:44:38,401 --> 00:44:42,335
The one ambition of my life
is to discredit Miss Betty Kane
779
00:44:44,827 --> 00:44:45,827
Oh,I see
780
00:44:52,210 --> 00:44:55,906
A number of people gathered last night
outside a house in the Melford district
781
00:44:55,957 --> 00:45:00,936
Two men working on the premises
came to blows with the demonstrators
782
00:45:00,936 --> 00:45:03,645
and in a serious scuffle
windows were broken
783
00:45:04,353 --> 00:45:06,359
it is understood that the
occupants of the house
784
00:45:07,379 --> 00:45:12,159
remained discreetly out of sight until
the last of the demonstrators had dispersed
785
00:45:13,426 --> 00:45:14,426
Marion
786
00:45:14,690 --> 00:45:15,947
Get the car out
787
00:45:26,626 --> 00:45:29,981
Charlie,when old Beyer comes in ask him
to come over to my office,will you,
788
00:45:29,981 --> 00:45:32,107
I want him to do a job for me
put some windows in
789
00:45:32,107 --> 00:45:33,297
Right,Mr Blair I'll tell him
790
00:45:33,389 --> 00:45:35,499
What about the row at the
Franchise last night I see
791
00:45:35,659 --> 00:45:37,662
I told you these people would
make it hot for them
792
00:45:37,889 --> 00:45:39,939
If I were you I'd advise
them to go away from here
793
00:45:39,939 --> 00:45:41,748
sell the house and settle
down somewhere else
794
00:45:41,944 --> 00:45:43,960
They would never do it and
I never advised them to
795
00:45:43,968 --> 00:45:45,004
You can't go through life
796
00:45:45,004 --> 00:45:47,581
with a tin can tied to the tail and
pretending it is not there
797
00:45:47,644 --> 00:45:48,709
Matter of principles
798
00:45:48,823 --> 00:45:51,030
You can pay a too high
price for your principles
799
00:46:06,124 --> 00:46:07,203
Good Morning Miss Truelove
800
00:46:07,203 --> 00:46:09,688
I'm afraid all the tables are reserved
801
00:46:10,066 --> 00:46:11,403
Indeed,very well,then we'll wait
802
00:46:12,132 --> 00:46:13,947
The tables are booked all morning
803
00:46:14,059 --> 00:46:15,059
We will wait
804
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:29,047
Good Morning Mr Blair
805
00:46:29,274 --> 00:46:31,904
We just flew in on our broomsticks
for a cup of hot blood
806
00:46:36,807 --> 00:46:38,778
May I have a table for
three,please,Miss Truelove
807
00:46:39,147 --> 00:46:41,167
I'm sorry Mr Blair all
the tables are booked
808
00:46:41,567 --> 00:46:45,042
I'm sure you'll understand I must
study the feelings of my customers
809
00:46:45,042 --> 00:46:48,051
Fiddle-dee-doo,we intend
to have a cup of coffee
810
00:46:48,983 --> 00:46:50,668
Don't look so worried it's only a gesture
811
00:46:51,062 --> 00:46:53,641
You are merely providing these
people with a free spectacle
812
00:46:53,667 --> 00:46:55,267
They must get used to it
813
00:46:55,313 --> 00:46:57,623
If they see a giraffe once a
year it remains a spectacle
814
00:46:57,681 --> 00:46:59,987
If they see it every day it
becomes part of the scenery
815
00:46:59,988 --> 00:47:02,277
Well, we propose to become
part of the Melford scenery
816
00:47:02,377 --> 00:47:03,885
All right become part of the scenery
817
00:47:03,985 --> 00:47:07,217
but come out of this place now and have
your coffee with me at the Rose and Crown
818
00:47:07,225 --> 00:47:10,591
Mr Blair,that would be delightful but it
wouldn't relieve my spiritual indigestion
819
00:47:10,591 --> 00:47:14,385
As a personal obligation to
me as your lawyer
820
00:47:14,410 --> 00:47:15,662
That is blackmail
821
00:47:16,038 --> 00:47:17,061
It's an answer anyhow
822
00:47:17,061 --> 00:47:19,474
Seems we are going to
have coffee at the Rose and Crown
823
00:47:19,474 --> 00:47:20,474
Good
824
00:47:37,392 --> 00:47:39,953
Oh,Mr Blair this must be dreadful for you
825
00:47:40,872 --> 00:47:41,884
Do you think you(?)
826
00:47:41,884 --> 00:47:43,390
I couldn't care less
827
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:45,597
Let's make something stronger than coffee
828
00:48:00,155 --> 00:48:01,155
Yes
829
00:48:01,385 --> 00:48:03,727
Inspector Hallam is on
line for you Mr Blair
830
00:48:05,169 --> 00:48:06,573
Put him through,will you?
831
00:48:07,816 --> 00:48:09,177
-Is that you Blair?
-Yes,speaking
832
00:48:09,182 --> 00:48:10,601
I feel I have got bad news for you
833
00:48:11,372 --> 00:48:14,526
Grant's here,he came to apply
for a warrant to arrest the Sharpes
834
00:48:16,113 --> 00:48:17,492
That's not possible
835
00:48:17,492 --> 00:48:19,446
You'd better come over
and have a word with him
836
00:48:19,844 --> 00:48:20,844
Right
837
00:48:27,607 --> 00:48:29,357
This news is a great shock tor me,Inspector
838
00:48:30,251 --> 00:48:31,641
I expect it is,Mr Blair
839
00:48:32,404 --> 00:48:33,873
We found some new evidence
840
00:48:34,224 --> 00:48:36,199
What we think is conclusive evidence
841
00:48:36,199 --> 00:48:37,881
-Might I know what it is?
-Certainly
842
00:48:38,649 --> 00:48:40,374
A girl has come forward prepared to swear
843
00:48:40,696 --> 00:48:42,653
she heard scream coming
from Franchise attic
844
00:48:42,653 --> 00:48:46,653
During the time Betty came and
claimed to be detained there
845
00:48:46,917 --> 00:48:49,051
-Who is this girl?
-Her name is Rose Glynn
846
00:48:49,637 --> 00:48:51,277
She works at the farm near the Franchise
847
00:48:51,377 --> 00:48:54,452
And apparently used to go there,
now and again,to clean the place
848
00:48:58,124 --> 00:49:01,285
But why a warrant to arrest,
my clients aren't going to run away
849
00:49:02,534 --> 00:49:04,324
The girl was missing for over 2 weeks
850
00:49:04,646 --> 00:49:06,779
She was very badly knocked about
851
00:49:06,796 --> 00:49:07,796
Deliberately
852
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:09,459
It's not a case to betaking lightly
853
00:49:09,539 --> 00:49:11,218
When do you want them to appear in court?
854
00:49:11,218 --> 00:49:12,273
On Monday
855
00:49:12,373 --> 00:49:14,773
Then I suggest you serve then a
summons to appear on Monday
856
00:49:14,863 --> 00:49:16,363
My superiors have suggested an arrest
857
00:49:16,627 --> 00:49:18,775
Your superiors have
no knowledge of local conditions
858
00:49:18,875 --> 00:49:22,097
If the Franchise is left without occupants
it will be a wreck in no time
859
00:49:22,302 --> 00:49:23,793
There's a lot in what Mr Blair says
860
00:49:23,893 --> 00:49:26,340
The feeling here is very
strong against these two women
861
00:49:31,887 --> 00:49:33,059
Very well,then
862
00:49:33,791 --> 00:49:35,014
We'll make it a summons
863
00:49:37,219 --> 00:49:38,436
I'll get that signed
864
00:49:41,065 --> 00:49:43,665
If we avoid a remand on Monday,Mr Blair
865
00:49:43,755 --> 00:49:45,343
The case can go straight to be decided
866
00:49:45,666 --> 00:49:47,881
Can you be ready with your
defence by Monday,you think?
867
00:49:48,081 --> 00:49:52,033
With all the defence my clients have
we could be ready by tea time
868
00:49:55,620 --> 00:49:59,755
You know,I think your clients are luckier
than they deserve in their solicitor
869
00:49:59,755 --> 00:50:02,338
I can only hope they are
less luckier in our counsel
870
00:50:02,338 --> 00:50:05,332
Otherwise I may find myself being
talked into voting them in testimony(?)
871
00:50:24,293 --> 00:50:25,293
Robert
872
00:50:31,964 --> 00:50:34,462
-Good Evening,Inspector
-Good Evening,Miss Sharpe
873
00:50:34,462 --> 00:50:36,646
I'd like to speak to you and
your mother for a moment
874
00:50:36,744 --> 00:50:38,024
I'm afraid my mother is resting
875
00:50:38,124 --> 00:50:39,780
Well,perhaps you'd
ask her to come down
876
00:50:39,911 --> 00:50:41,004
It's important
877
00:50:48,268 --> 00:50:49,314
I don't believe it
878
00:50:49,330 --> 00:50:51,142
You mean you are charging us for this thing
879
00:50:51,614 --> 00:50:54,763
You mean we have to appear in public
court to be accused of a thing like this
880
00:50:55,028 --> 00:50:56,873
I'm afraid there's no alternative
881
00:50:56,873 --> 00:50:57,485
But
882
00:50:57,584 --> 00:50:58,704
I think I ought to tell you
883
00:50:58,804 --> 00:51:04,448
in case he doesn't, but from Mr Blair here,
you'll both be sleeping tonight in a cell
884
00:51:05,858 --> 00:51:08,039
Don't bother Miss Sharpe,
I'll let myself out
885
00:51:14,086 --> 00:51:15,300
Is that true?
886
00:51:15,895 --> 00:51:16,895
Yes
887
00:51:18,378 --> 00:51:19,693
And what is this evidence?
888
00:51:20,214 --> 00:51:21,219
You used to have a girl
889
00:51:21,319 --> 00:51:24,163
who came in occasionally to help
you clean the house,didn't you?
890
00:51:24,716 --> 00:51:27,559
Yes,Rose Glynn,we had to get rid of her
891
00:51:27,559 --> 00:51:29,012
Get rid of her? Why?
892
00:51:29,012 --> 00:51:31,138
Stealing,she stole a watch of Marion's
893
00:51:31,771 --> 00:51:34,535
We'd overlook taken an odd
shilling or two from a purse,
894
00:51:34,535 --> 00:51:37,907
we needed to help but when it
came to the watch that was too much
895
00:51:38,483 --> 00:51:39,844
We asked her about it,of course
896
00:51:39,844 --> 00:51:43,175
she hadn't seen it so we told her we
wouldn't be needing her anymore
897
00:51:43,175 --> 00:51:45,474
I see,and how did she take that
898
00:51:46,634 --> 00:51:48,152
She went very pink
899
00:51:48,470 --> 00:51:50,710
She went red as a beetroot
and bridled like a perky dog
900
00:51:51,643 --> 00:51:52,741
Why do you ask?
901
00:51:53,262 --> 00:51:58,329
Because she would say on oath that
she heard screams coming from your attic
902
00:51:58,567 --> 00:52:00,020
Will she indeed?
903
00:52:05,054 --> 00:52:06,627
That was known as a bit of a face up
904
00:52:07,325 --> 00:52:08,842
Yes,definitely
905
00:52:08,911 --> 00:52:09,996
A face up of you too
906
00:52:10,397 --> 00:52:12,522
Your faced with the possibility
that we've been lying
907
00:52:12,995 --> 00:52:13,999
Really,Marion
908
00:52:14,129 --> 00:52:17,314
If I'm faced with anything it is
the choice with your words and Rose Glynn's
909
00:52:18,577 --> 00:52:20,623
I wish,oh,how I wish
910
00:52:20,623 --> 00:52:24,700
that we had one small,just one small
piece of evidence on our side
911
00:52:25,530 --> 00:52:28,040
She gets away with everything
that Kane girl,everything
912
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:32,368
We keep on saying it isn't true but
we have no way showing it isn't true
913
00:52:32,368 --> 00:52:34,364
It's all inconclusive
914
00:52:34,679 --> 00:52:37,348
Or negative or feeble denial
915
00:52:39,283 --> 00:52:41,016
Things can bind back her lies
916
00:52:41,016 --> 00:52:44,073
but nothing happen to help prove
that we're telling the truth
917
00:52:44,073 --> 00:52:45,278
Nothing
918
00:52:45,584 --> 00:52:48,656
Sit down,Marianne, a tantrum
won't improve the situation
919
00:52:49,682 --> 00:52:51,372
I could kill that girl,I could kill her
920
00:52:51,653 --> 00:52:53,138
When I think what she has done to us
921
00:52:53,202 --> 00:52:55,162
We'll get everything straightened
out eventually
922
00:52:55,842 --> 00:52:56,842
How?
923
00:52:57,525 --> 00:52:59,351
I don't know how but we will
924
00:53:00,141 --> 00:53:03,298
Is that natural optimism,
Mr Blair or belief in the triumph for good?
925
00:53:03,891 --> 00:53:04,891
Or what?
926
00:53:05,173 --> 00:53:07,537
I think truth has its own validity
927
00:53:07,926 --> 00:53:11,284
(?) didn't find it very
valid nor ask us later
928
00:53:11,384 --> 00:53:12,397
They did it in the end
929
00:53:13,247 --> 00:53:15,350
Frankly I don't look forward
appear in prison
930
00:53:15,350 --> 00:53:18,046
waiting for truth to demonstrate
its validity
931
00:53:22,114 --> 00:53:25,115
So you see,Kevin,something must be
done quickly,we are in a frightful jam
932
00:53:25,778 --> 00:53:27,901
That's schoolboy's description
but extremely accurate
933
00:53:27,901 --> 00:53:31,028
Kevin,couldn't you come for the weekend
and let me talk to you about it?
934
00:53:31,262 --> 00:53:33,333
Aunt Lin was saying
yesterday it was six years
935
00:53:33,433 --> 00:53:35,679
since you spend a night with
us so you're overdue anyhow
936
00:53:36,190 --> 00:53:38,651
Well,look would Christine
lead with some butter tart?
937
00:53:39,312 --> 00:53:40,588
Yes,I guarantee it
938
00:53:40,905 --> 00:53:42,750
It's a deal.I say Rob
939
00:53:44,086 --> 00:53:47,096
Have you considered the possibility
that the police have the right of it?
940
00:53:47,797 --> 00:53:49,491
You mean the girl's story may be true?
941
00:53:49,555 --> 00:53:50,812
Are you keeping that in mind?
942
00:53:51,139 --> 00:53:52,305
As a possibility I mean
943
00:53:52,450 --> 00:53:53,459
No I am not
944
00:53:54,086 --> 00:53:56,295
-All right Good Bye
-Good Bye
945
00:53:58,702 --> 00:54:01,980
Hello,dear,look what I managed
to get for you today,Dollymore
946
00:54:02,997 --> 00:54:04,831
What on earth did I ever
need stomach powder?
947
00:54:05,021 --> 00:54:08,422
Well,you never know,dear,you might,
you haven't been looking at all well lately
948
00:54:08,793 --> 00:54:10,491
And Mr Dollymore said
949
00:54:11,443 --> 00:54:16,244
Robert,you put the fish down on the table
and it's so (?)into mahogany
950
00:54:16,706 --> 00:54:18,974
And Christine will be waiting for me
951
00:54:19,005 --> 00:54:22,034
Which are you charging me with?
The mahogany or keeping Christine waiting?
952
00:54:22,168 --> 00:54:24,289
What I don't know what's
come over you lately
953
00:54:25,113 --> 00:54:27,048
I'm sorry,Auntie,I am a
bit on edge these days
954
00:54:31,847 --> 00:54:34,116
It's not very pleasant
for anyone in the town
955
00:54:34,116 --> 00:54:36,811
to see the notoriety that's overtaking it
956
00:54:36,816 --> 00:54:39,432
It's always have been such a
quiet thing and fine little place
957
00:54:40,450 --> 00:54:43,311
I don't like Melford as much
as I did so I save my tears
958
00:54:43,809 --> 00:54:45,547
It's all very difficult for me
959
00:54:45,593 --> 00:54:46,668
For you?
960
00:54:46,767 --> 00:54:49,617
Yes,now that you are
representing these people
961
00:54:49,617 --> 00:54:51,442
I can't talk about it to anyone
962
00:54:52,063 --> 00:54:53,630
It's quite maddening,dear
963
00:54:54,534 --> 00:54:57,472
Like wanting to be sick
and having to postpone it
964
00:54:59,165 --> 00:55:00,975
Only this morning at the Anne Boleyn
965
00:55:00,975 --> 00:55:05,057
Miss Truelove was condoling with me
and now being mixed up in it
966
00:55:05,301 --> 00:55:08,679
What she did? Well I condole
with Miss Truelove's sister
967
00:55:08,679 --> 00:55:10,720
Condole with her? Of what?
968
00:55:11,257 --> 00:55:12,824
For having a sister like Miss Truelove
969
00:55:16,678 --> 00:55:18,611
So you're best, given the
police court tomorrow
970
00:55:18,711 --> 00:55:21,245
and then get it assigned to Larborough
971
00:55:21,352 --> 00:55:23,945
Just what do you mean
by given the police court?
972
00:55:24,034 --> 00:55:26,831
Well,you've got no evidence on
your side there will be a fight of it
973
00:55:27,378 --> 00:55:28,768
So let them parade their evidence
974
00:55:28,768 --> 00:55:32,016
and as you are there
the defence supply for bail
975
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:34,195
It should be a very formal affair,
so I am assured of
976
00:55:34,231 --> 00:55:35,255
When are the assizes?
977
00:55:35,986 --> 00:55:37,076
On the 14th
978
00:55:37,437 --> 00:55:38,866
Sure the Handicap day
979
00:55:41,081 --> 00:55:42,749
Are you interested in racing?
980
00:55:42,749 --> 00:55:43,749
I am
981
00:55:43,829 --> 00:55:45,562
Who do you think is going to win Handicap?
982
00:55:45,638 --> 00:55:46,736
Favorite?
983
00:55:46,776 --> 00:55:47,807
Not on your life
984
00:55:48,043 --> 00:55:51,715
None of them (?) are any good
when it comes struggle they just turn it up
985
00:55:53,402 --> 00:55:55,202
Well,what shall I bet then?
986
00:55:55,273 --> 00:55:56,289
Nothing
987
00:55:56,853 --> 00:55:59,948
My brother Charles always used
to say when he was at Leithways
988
00:56:00,411 --> 00:56:03,678
Horse-sense is the instinct that
keep horses from betting on men
989
00:56:07,295 --> 00:56:08,295
Leithways?
990
00:56:08,871 --> 00:56:11,624
You are not Charles sister(?)are you?
991
00:56:11,914 --> 00:56:12,914
I am
992
00:56:13,189 --> 00:56:14,280
Did you know Charles?
993
00:56:14,762 --> 00:56:16,926
The penny I ever had on my
own was bet by Charles(?)
994
00:56:18,475 --> 00:56:19,651
What's Charles doing now?
995
00:56:19,773 --> 00:56:21,232
Didn't he go to Canada or somewhere?
996
00:56:21,460 --> 00:56:22,932
Yes,Montreal
997
00:56:23,592 --> 00:56:26,280
He wrote to us some time back asking
us to go and keep house for him
998
00:56:26,543 --> 00:56:28,329
But at that time we
had inherited this place
999
00:56:29,273 --> 00:56:30,864
So we said we wouldn't
1000
00:56:31,303 --> 00:56:32,671
I'm beginning to wish now we had
1001
00:56:46,448 --> 00:56:48,059
-Good Morning Mr Blair
-Good Morning Stan
1002
00:56:48,061 --> 00:56:49,931
-Want your car?
-Yes, I'm going into Larborough
1003
00:56:49,931 --> 00:56:51,732
-Good Morning,Bill
-How are things,Mr Blair?
1004
00:56:52,259 --> 00:56:53,259
Fierce
1005
00:56:53,749 --> 00:56:55,125
My Missus went to the police court
1006
00:56:55,545 --> 00:56:57,250
Said she wouldn't believe that Betty Kane
1007
00:56:57,350 --> 00:56:59,418
even if she told her there
were 12 p in a shilling
1008
00:56:59,756 --> 00:57:01,823
No matter what that Rose Lynn might say
1009
00:57:01,850 --> 00:57:02,889
Why not?
1010
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:04,617
Much too good to be true she said she was
1011
00:57:07,656 --> 00:57:10,540
Oh no she was never came in here
I should have remembered her if she had
1012
00:57:11,401 --> 00:57:13,219
Fancy treating a poor thing like that
1013
00:57:13,467 --> 00:57:14,647
How do you know they did?
1014
00:57:14,964 --> 00:57:16,448
Oh it says so in the paper
1015
00:57:16,865 --> 00:57:18,690
The paper only reports what the girl said
1016
00:57:19,095 --> 00:57:21,985
But they wouldn't put a thing
like that in the paper if it wasn't true
1017
00:57:22,316 --> 00:57:23,895
Beside what the other girl said
1018
00:57:25,193 --> 00:57:26,281
You're a detective?
1019
00:57:27,032 --> 00:57:28,466
Part time
1020
00:57:28,466 --> 00:57:29,711
How much do you get an hour?
1021
00:57:30,062 --> 00:57:31,113
Not really enough
1022
00:57:31,627 --> 00:57:32,956
Haven't got a union I suppose
1023
00:57:36,522 --> 00:57:39,138
Poor,luv,what an experience for her
1024
00:57:39,421 --> 00:57:41,825
-Such a nice face too
-Poor luv
1025
00:57:45,674 --> 00:57:49,578
Those (?) has to be picked
up that's all she get,(??)we say
1026
00:57:50,063 --> 00:57:51,234
Thank you
1027
00:57:59,507 --> 00:58:00,993
BTW have you ever seen her?
1028
00:58:13,416 --> 00:58:14,471
Light ale
1029
00:58:14,764 --> 00:58:16,286
-How do you do,Sir?
-Hello,Albert
1030
00:58:18,501 --> 00:58:20,811
Strange case that so
reading about that girl
1031
00:58:21,129 --> 00:58:23,088
Yes,suppose you've never seen her in here
1032
00:58:24,110 --> 00:58:25,275
Not that I remember
1033
00:58:26,049 --> 00:58:27,674
She looks a bit young for this place,Sir
1034
00:58:33,988 --> 00:58:35,112
Half a bitter
1035
00:58:35,648 --> 00:58:36,682
Half a bitter
1036
00:58:42,262 --> 00:58:45,117
You know when I come to
think of it,I'm not so sure
1037
00:58:45,468 --> 00:58:47,550
She wouldn't look so young
with a hat on,would she?
1038
00:58:47,649 --> 00:58:48,937
No,that's true
1039
00:58:49,785 --> 00:58:50,989
Yes,of course
1040
00:58:51,963 --> 00:58:53,725
That's the girl in the green hat
1041
00:58:54,197 --> 00:58:55,849
You mean she did come in here for coffee?
1042
00:58:56,250 --> 00:58:57,316
No for tea
1043
00:58:57,319 --> 00:58:58,357
For tea?
1044
00:58:58,848 --> 00:59:00,424
Yes,of course that's the girl
1045
00:59:01,051 --> 00:59:02,639
Fancy me not recognizing her
1046
00:59:05,629 --> 00:59:06,629
Albert
1047
00:59:07,890 --> 00:59:09,233
Are you absolutely sure of this?
1048
00:59:09,233 --> 00:59:10,233
Yes
1049
00:59:10,874 --> 00:59:13,404
I remember I noticed her
she always came in alone
1050
00:59:14,113 --> 00:59:15,920
First I thought she was
waiting for relations
1051
00:59:16,489 --> 00:59:17,984
That's the sort of girl she looked
1052
00:59:18,335 --> 00:59:20,324
Nice and neat clothes and no airs
1053
00:59:21,297 --> 00:59:24,226
You could have knocked me down with
a feather when she picked up that man
1054
00:59:25,019 --> 00:59:26,819
You mean the
man picked her up surely?
1055
00:59:27,293 --> 00:59:30,513
Don't you believe it,he hadn't even
thought of it when he sat down
1056
00:59:31,041 --> 00:59:32,219
She didn't look that sort
1057
00:59:33,397 --> 00:59:35,753
You'd have thought that butter
wouldn't melt in her mouth
1058
00:59:37,799 --> 00:59:38,799
Goodness
1059
00:59:39,448 --> 00:59:41,586
And to think I never
recognized without the hat
1060
00:59:41,647 --> 00:59:43,264
What was the man like,did you know him?
1061
00:59:44,717 --> 00:59:46,206
He was not one of my regulars
1062
00:59:46,629 --> 00:59:49,883
Young,darkish with a moustache
1063
00:59:50,175 --> 00:59:51,652
Commercial type I would say
1064
00:59:51,686 --> 00:59:52,691
Did she ever come back?
1065
00:59:52,900 --> 00:59:55,047
I don't remember seeing
either of them again,Sir
1066
00:59:55,147 --> 00:59:56,899
Would you the know the man if you saw him?
1067
00:59:56,907 --> 00:59:57,985
Not to swear to it,Sir
1068
00:59:59,010 --> 01:00:00,669
We get a good many of that sort in here
1069
01:00:02,218 --> 01:00:05,578
You planning any swearing to,Sir?
1070
01:00:05,988 --> 01:00:07,859
We'll talk about that,Albert,
when we found him
1071
01:00:08,851 --> 01:00:11,972
So to start with,Mr Ramsden,I want you
to try and find this man she picked up
1072
01:00:11,972 --> 01:00:14,190
He might be able to give
me just the information I need
1073
01:00:14,578 --> 01:00:17,438
Albert,the lounge waiter,
knows what he looks like
1074
01:00:17,438 --> 01:00:18,911
I think I get over in Larborough now
1075
01:00:19,371 --> 01:00:21,434
Oh,I have a better photograph
of the girl tomorrow
1076
01:00:21,534 --> 01:00:24,393
but perhaps you could lend
me your newspaper the one for today
1077
01:00:24,443 --> 01:00:25,507
Certainly
1078
01:00:26,408 --> 01:00:28,466
How are you going to
get another photograph of her?
1079
01:00:30,159 --> 01:00:32,183
Oh,ways
1080
01:00:32,997 --> 01:00:34,637
-Good day,Mr Blair
-Good day
1081
01:00:52,074 --> 01:00:53,414
And now,Mr Ramsden,what luck?
1082
01:00:53,414 --> 01:00:55,301
I've got to tell you Mr Blair
1083
01:00:55,301 --> 01:00:58,271
you're throwing good money away,
it isn't a business proposition for you
1084
01:00:59,066 --> 01:01:00,434
Is it as hopeless as that?
1085
01:01:00,984 --> 01:01:02,387
We can never hope to trace the man
1086
01:01:02,387 --> 01:01:03,468
except through the girl
1087
01:01:03,468 --> 01:01:07,531
and we'll never find about the girl
because their photograph is quite useless
1088
01:01:07,868 --> 01:01:08,956
How do you mean?
1089
01:01:09,487 --> 01:01:12,302
I mean when she left her
aunts when she disappeared
1090
01:01:12,396 --> 01:01:15,295
She must have ordered her appearance
so that she couldn't be recognized
1091
01:01:15,990 --> 01:01:17,460
For instance with her hair swept up
1092
01:01:17,460 --> 01:01:22,225
and some make up and possibly
a hat she'd look quite different
1093
01:01:23,456 --> 01:01:25,983
That's why I don't want waste
any more of your money,Mr Blair
1094
01:01:29,527 --> 01:01:30,842
That means we are sunk
1095
01:01:31,558 --> 01:01:32,836
I'm sorry,Marion
1096
01:01:33,059 --> 01:01:35,710
It certainly wasn't worth you
making another appearance in Melford
1097
01:01:35,710 --> 01:01:36,712
just to hear this
1098
01:01:36,712 --> 01:01:39,661
It isn't your fault,
I was determined to come
1099
01:01:40,772 --> 01:01:42,296
-I'll drive you back
-Thank you
1100
01:01:46,327 --> 01:01:49,300
It's infuriating to think
that girl getting away with it
1101
01:01:49,369 --> 01:01:51,535
At least you got something
to shake confidence in her
1102
01:01:52,038 --> 01:01:53,962
This business picking up
a man in Larborough
1103
01:01:53,962 --> 01:01:55,129
I can't prove it Marion
1104
01:01:55,129 --> 01:01:58,970
even if I could it doesn't touch
her story about you having kidnapped her
1105
01:01:58,970 --> 01:02:00,210
That's what we got to disprove
1106
01:02:00,817 --> 01:02:01,925
There is still time
1107
01:02:02,230 --> 01:02:04,927
About all there is time for,
I'm afraid,is a miracle
1108
01:02:05,002 --> 01:02:06,529
You are just tired,Robert
1109
01:02:07,117 --> 01:02:08,842
It's become a personal matter,Marion
1110
01:02:09,903 --> 01:02:11,564
I remember you said that once before
1111
01:02:12,291 --> 01:02:13,291
I know
1112
01:02:13,593 --> 01:02:15,352
But this time I mean it rather differently
1113
01:02:16,071 --> 01:02:17,071
I mean
1114
01:02:17,566 --> 01:02:19,287
I want you to marry me,Marion
1115
01:02:20,904 --> 01:02:21,973
Do you,Robert?
1116
01:02:22,310 --> 01:02:23,442
You will,won't you?
1117
01:02:24,180 --> 01:02:25,511
No,I won't
1118
01:02:25,792 --> 01:02:27,000
Why not?
1119
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:29,956
Well,because just because as children say
1120
01:02:30,004 --> 01:02:31,071
Because of what?
1121
01:02:31,905 --> 01:02:34,269
For one thing,there's my mother and another
1122
01:02:34,402 --> 01:02:35,838
Yes,you're so spoiled by your aunt
1123
01:02:35,905 --> 01:02:36,977
Oh yes you are
1124
01:02:37,064 --> 01:02:39,240
You'll miss all this preacher
comforts and pampering
1125
01:02:39,340 --> 01:02:40,818
that I wouldn't know how to give you
1126
01:02:40,866 --> 01:02:42,268
And wouldn't give you,if I knew how
1127
01:02:42,290 --> 01:02:44,350
Marion,that's one reason
that I want you marry me
1128
01:02:44,648 --> 01:02:47,451
The fact is that you've got your head
outlined and wouldn't pamper me
1129
01:02:47,484 --> 01:02:50,246
Head out,mind you see,a
nice (?) to dinner with once a week
1130
01:02:50,872 --> 01:02:54,301
It's those sort of substitute for good
pastry and an uncritical atmosphere
1131
01:02:54,786 --> 01:02:55,967
I'm a very bad cook
1132
01:02:55,967 --> 01:02:58,696
Really,if you haven't got
any better reason than that
1133
01:02:59,152 --> 01:03:00,314
There is another thing,Robert
1134
01:03:01,327 --> 01:03:03,799
I don't think I would be
much an asset to Blair & Sons
1135
01:03:04,634 --> 01:03:07,185
I'm not asking you to marry,Blair & Sons
1136
01:03:08,620 --> 01:03:10,607
If we are ever cleared of
this charge against us
1137
01:03:11,242 --> 01:03:14,246
It wouldn't free me for being
the woman in the Franchise Affair
1138
01:03:14,551 --> 01:03:16,841
An unfortunate sort of
wife for a country solicitor
1139
01:03:17,412 --> 01:03:19,315
It wouldn't do you any
good,Robert,believe me
1140
01:03:19,971 --> 01:03:21,921
I'm not taking that answer
as final you know
1141
01:03:23,314 --> 01:03:25,701
You evidently don't realize
what misstep you got that
1142
01:03:26,967 --> 01:03:29,916
You don't really mean that you
are going to lose the case,do you?
1143
01:03:30,175 --> 01:03:32,519
-I most certainly do
-Robert
1144
01:03:33,299 --> 01:03:35,383
It's customary to have
a case put to the jury
1145
01:03:35,483 --> 01:03:36,564
We have no case
1146
01:03:36,829 --> 01:03:37,841
But you have Kevin
1147
01:03:37,932 --> 01:03:39,856
I know we have Kevin
and things even if we have
1148
01:03:39,869 --> 01:03:41,183
At least you make a fight of it
1149
01:03:41,413 --> 01:03:43,422
But even he should have
some evidence on his side
1150
01:03:43,498 --> 01:03:46,058
And here's none,no prospect of any
1151
01:03:46,058 --> 01:03:48,921
Why do you kept all this to yourself,dear
1152
01:03:49,204 --> 01:03:52,732
Was it because you thought I shouldn't
understand or agree or something
1153
01:03:53,371 --> 01:03:56,400
I was rather under impression
that you believed Betty Kane's story
1154
01:03:56,464 --> 01:03:59,499
Oh,no not after the police court
1155
01:04:00,095 --> 01:04:01,778
The court? But you weren't there
1156
01:04:02,226 --> 01:04:03,924
No,but Colonel Whittaker was
1157
01:04:03,924 --> 01:04:06,800
He didn't like that Betty Kane at all
1158
01:04:06,908 --> 01:04:07,908
Didn't he?
1159
01:04:07,985 --> 01:04:10,259
No,he says he once had
1160
01:04:10,259 --> 01:04:15,019
what are you to call it,Lance Corporal
in his regiment who was exactly like her
1161
01:04:15,697 --> 01:04:18,219
He ended up in the green
house,Colonel Whittaker said
1162
01:04:18,219 --> 01:04:19,624
The glass house
1163
01:04:21,849 --> 01:04:24,781
Of course,dear,if I known that
you were doubtful about the case
1164
01:04:24,781 --> 01:04:28,300
I should have said
prayers about it ages ago
1165
01:04:28,984 --> 01:04:31,885
I was going to the Gleason's
garden party tomorrow afternoon
1166
01:04:31,885 --> 01:04:35,354
I shall go to St Michaels instead
and spend a quiet hour there
1167
01:04:36,143 --> 01:04:38,288
The wireless said it
would probably rain anyway
1168
01:04:38,847 --> 01:04:39,896
Thank you,darling
1169
01:04:41,375 --> 01:04:43,444
I don't deny that we need your prayers
1170
01:04:43,986 --> 01:04:46,477
But I'm afraid in this case
I haven't very much hope
1171
01:04:46,477 --> 01:04:50,110
Ah,that's rather just it,Robert,
you haven't enough faith
1172
01:04:50,402 --> 01:04:53,536
It distinctly says that
faith will move mountains
1173
01:04:54,704 --> 01:04:57,157
Of course it requires a
tremendous amount of faith
1174
01:04:57,796 --> 01:05:00,257
And that's why mountains
are very rarely moved
1175
01:05:01,495 --> 01:05:03,437
I don't believe that an
angel is going to appear
1176
01:05:03,537 --> 01:05:07,056
with an account what Betty Kane did during
those weeks,if it's that what you mean
1177
01:05:07,056 --> 01:05:08,519
No,the trouble about you,Robert dear
1178
01:05:08,519 --> 01:05:10,708
you think of an angel
as a creature with wings
1179
01:05:10,708 --> 01:05:14,570
well it's probably it's a scruffy
little man in a bowler hat
1180
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:19,173
If you told me that yesterday
I might have believed you
1181
01:05:26,566 --> 01:05:27,753
How do you want this wreck
1182
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:29,226
About an hour
1183
01:05:29,671 --> 01:05:30,708
A year wouldn't do
1184
01:05:32,220 --> 01:05:33,607
I'll do what I can in an hour
1185
01:06:15,021 --> 01:06:20,090
Stan,Stan leave it will you,drive me
in your van to Melford,I must see Mr Blair
1186
01:06:20,090 --> 01:06:21,090
Sure
1187
01:06:21,262 --> 01:06:25,318
Hey,what's that,I have seen anyone look
like that since my sister Bula married a GI
1188
01:06:25,450 --> 01:06:26,503
Come on
1189
01:06:34,358 --> 01:06:36,121
There's a lady waiting to see you,Mr Blair
1190
01:06:36,221 --> 01:06:37,286
What does she want?
1191
01:06:37,731 --> 01:06:39,806
She didn't say,she just
said she wanted to see you
1192
01:06:40,981 --> 01:06:43,225
-Well,you'd better send her in
-Yes,Mr Blair
1193
01:06:49,179 --> 01:06:50,370
Mr Blair will see you now
1194
01:06:50,853 --> 01:06:51,853
Thank you
1195
01:06:57,685 --> 01:06:58,984
This way,please
1196
01:07:14,882 --> 01:07:17,540
Miss Tuff,get Mr McDermott
on the phone immediately,it's important
1197
01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:18,640
Yes,Sir
1198
01:07:18,697 --> 01:07:20,416
And when you done that ring up my Aunt Lin
1199
01:07:20,416 --> 01:07:22,000
tell her she was wrong about her angel
1200
01:07:22,100 --> 01:07:24,494
he's not a scruffy little man in a
bowler hat,he is a woman
1201
01:07:24,594 --> 01:07:26,002
Yes,Mr Blair
1202
01:07:29,167 --> 01:07:30,167
Quiet
1203
01:07:35,746 --> 01:07:37,121
Call Betty Kane
1204
01:07:37,784 --> 01:07:38,784
Betty Kane
1205
01:07:40,980 --> 01:07:41,980
Betty Kane
1206
01:07:54,021 --> 01:07:56,688
Hold the Testament in the right
hand and read this from the card
1207
01:08:01,951 --> 01:08:03,219
I swear by All Mighty God
1208
01:08:03,219 --> 01:08:04,602
that the evidence I give
1209
01:08:04,602 --> 01:08:08,481
should be the truth,the whole
truth and nothing but the truth
1210
01:08:12,904 --> 01:08:17,629
So you are saying,you were locked in
that attic without food for days on end?
1211
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:19,240
Yes
1212
01:08:19,587 --> 01:08:23,156
And can you identify the two women
who kept you prisoner and ill treated you?
1213
01:08:23,906 --> 01:08:24,906
Yes
1214
01:08:25,290 --> 01:08:26,290
Those two
1215
01:08:29,485 --> 01:08:30,491
The accused?
1216
01:08:30,728 --> 01:08:31,747
Yes
1217
01:08:37,512 --> 01:08:38,672
Now Miss Kane
1218
01:08:39,271 --> 01:08:42,894
You just told the court that it was
dark when you arrived at the Franchise
1219
01:08:43,774 --> 01:08:45,695
Was it really so dark?
1220
01:08:45,970 --> 01:08:47,118
Yes,quite dark
1221
01:08:47,526 --> 01:08:49,231
Too dark to see the outside of the house?
1222
01:08:49,749 --> 01:08:50,930
Yes,much too dark
1223
01:08:51,221 --> 01:08:52,221
I see
1224
01:08:52,540 --> 01:08:53,540
Then
1225
01:08:53,672 --> 01:08:57,080
In the night you escaped,perhaps
that was not quite so dark?
1226
01:08:57,080 --> 01:08:58,603
Yes,it was even darker
1227
01:08:59,186 --> 01:09:01,358
So you never saw the
front of the house by daylight?
1228
01:09:01,955 --> 01:09:03,005
No,never
1229
01:09:03,230 --> 01:09:05,934
Never,well that's definitely enough
1230
01:09:05,934 --> 01:09:08,835
Let's see what you say in
your statement to the police
1231
01:09:09,542 --> 01:09:10,542
You said
1232
01:09:12,239 --> 01:09:14,323
The drive run straight for the little
1233
01:09:14,323 --> 01:09:18,765
and then went round in a funny
little circle to the front door
1234
01:09:19,540 --> 01:09:21,406
How did you know it like that?
1235
01:09:21,499 --> 01:09:22,554
I could see it
1236
01:09:22,810 --> 01:09:23,810
From where?
1237
01:09:23,872 --> 01:09:25,066
From the window in the attic
1238
01:09:25,483 --> 01:09:26,960
But from the window in the attic
1239
01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:29,663
it's possible to see only the
straight part of the drive
1240
01:09:30,123 --> 01:09:31,802
The edge of the roof cuts off the rift(?)
1241
01:09:31,802 --> 01:09:35,130
How did you know about
the funny little circle
1242
01:09:38,652 --> 01:09:41,177
I saw it,I saw it from the window
1243
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:42,501
Really
1244
01:09:42,883 --> 01:09:44,681
So what you want us to understand
1245
01:09:44,681 --> 01:09:47,908
is that you see on a different
principle from ordinary human beings
1246
01:09:47,908 --> 01:09:51,291
on the principle of the Irishman's gun
that shoots round corners
1247
01:09:51,781 --> 01:09:53,398
Or is it all done by mirrors
1248
01:09:53,653 --> 01:09:54,808
It's the way I described
1249
01:09:54,808 --> 01:09:57,007
Certainly it's the way you described
1250
01:09:57,007 --> 01:09:58,893
but what you described
1251
01:09:58,893 --> 01:10:00,917
is the view of some
one looking over the wall
1252
01:10:01,752 --> 01:10:03,447
say from the top of a double-decker bus
1253
01:10:04,132 --> 01:10:06,786
not by someone looking at it
from the window in the attic
1254
01:10:07,382 --> 01:10:10,113
Are you proposing to call a
witness as for the view of this window?
1255
01:10:10,114 --> 01:10:11,203
Two,My Lord
1256
01:10:11,771 --> 01:10:14,097
One with normal vision should be sufficient
1257
01:10:17,229 --> 01:10:19,069
Thank you Miss Kane
1258
01:10:20,563 --> 01:10:24,446
Miss Kane,you arrived
at the Franchise by car
1259
01:10:24,446 --> 01:10:25,446
Yes
1260
01:10:25,887 --> 01:10:27,857
Now,if it was dark,as you say
1261
01:10:28,544 --> 01:10:31,863
may we take there were lights on
the car illuminating the drive?
1262
01:10:32,259 --> 01:10:34,182
Yes,headlights
1263
01:10:34,796 --> 01:10:36,769
And could you see the
carriageway and courtyard?
1264
01:10:36,769 --> 01:10:39,811
Yes,of course I must have
seen the circle then
1265
01:10:40,387 --> 01:10:42,886
I knew I'd seen it,I knew it
1266
01:10:45,320 --> 01:10:46,821
Thank you,Miss Kane
1267
01:10:52,641 --> 01:10:54,198
Call,Rose Glynn
1268
01:10:54,361 --> 01:10:55,361
Rose Glynn
1269
01:10:57,187 --> 01:10:58,187
Rose Glynn
1270
01:11:12,757 --> 01:11:15,412
Hold the Testament in the right
hand and read this from the card
1271
01:11:17,006 --> 01:11:20,739
So you were just getting ready to leave
when you heard screams coming from upstairs
1272
01:11:21,042 --> 01:11:22,210
That's right
1273
01:11:22,601 --> 01:11:23,632
And what did you do?
1274
01:11:23,632 --> 01:11:25,340
I run to the foot of the stairs
1275
01:11:25,340 --> 01:11:26,952
but just as I was going up
1276
01:11:26,952 --> 01:11:29,867
Mrs Sharpe came out of the
drawing room and stopped me
1277
01:11:29,867 --> 01:11:31,480
Was the screaming still going on
1278
01:11:31,480 --> 01:11:33,343
No,it had stopped by then
1279
01:11:33,623 --> 01:11:34,623
I see
1280
01:11:34,949 --> 01:11:36,036
And then what happened?
1281
01:11:36,422 --> 01:11:40,938
Well,just then Miss Sharpe came down
the stairs and went into the drawing room
1282
01:11:41,309 --> 01:11:42,559
And the old lady followed her
1283
01:11:43,179 --> 01:11:46,924
Then I heard the old lady say
something about "ought to be more careful"
1284
01:11:47,054 --> 01:11:48,190
What did you do then?
1285
01:11:48,802 --> 01:11:49,887
I run home
1286
01:11:49,931 --> 01:11:50,946
I was frightened
1287
01:11:51,046 --> 01:11:52,684
Did you go back to the Franchise again?
1288
01:11:52,876 --> 01:11:54,695
Oh no I wouldn't have gone back anyway
1289
01:11:54,695 --> 01:11:56,910
but they came to the farm
next day with my money
1290
01:11:57,509 --> 01:11:59,307
said they wouldn't be needing me any more
1291
01:11:59,307 --> 01:12:00,395
Thank you,Miss Kane
1292
01:12:01,716 --> 01:12:03,952
Mr McDermott,do you wish to
cross examine this witness?
1293
01:12:04,431 --> 01:12:05,461
Yes,My Lord
1294
01:12:07,002 --> 01:12:08,013
Now Rose
1295
01:12:08,379 --> 01:12:10,039
I am going to suggest to you
1296
01:12:10,718 --> 01:12:15,019
that you did not want to come here today
and give evidence against these two people
1297
01:12:15,695 --> 01:12:16,867
No,I didn't
1298
01:12:16,983 --> 01:12:18,022
But you came
1299
01:12:19,034 --> 01:12:20,034
Yes
1300
01:12:20,306 --> 01:12:21,306
Why?
1301
01:12:21,635 --> 01:12:23,467
Was it because someone forced you to come?
1302
01:12:24,956 --> 01:12:26,884
Someone who held something over your head?
1303
01:12:28,093 --> 01:12:33,720
Someone who said you say what
I tell you to say or I tell about you
1304
01:12:38,156 --> 01:12:42,401
You don't answer,well I'm going
suggest you what really happened
1305
01:12:42,938 --> 01:12:44,669
And you tell me whether I'm right
1306
01:12:45,756 --> 01:12:48,398
Someone stole something from the Franchise
1307
01:12:48,398 --> 01:12:50,097
Shall we say a watch
1308
01:12:50,688 --> 01:12:52,680
And later sold it to another girl
1309
01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:56,797
a girl she got to know here in Larborough
at a cinema or café or some such place
1310
01:12:57,468 --> 01:12:59,835
Now I suggest that soon afterwards
1311
01:12:59,835 --> 01:13:01,967
The girl who bought the watch
1312
01:13:02,563 --> 01:13:04,650
Found out that it had been stolen
1313
01:13:05,230 --> 01:13:06,832
And threatened to tell the police
1314
01:13:06,832 --> 01:13:11,882
unless the stealer of the watch
promised to back up an untrue story
1315
01:13:11,882 --> 01:13:13,788
that it was to be told in court
1316
01:13:13,788 --> 01:13:16,969
I suggest that because of these threats
1317
01:13:16,969 --> 01:13:21,255
the stealer of the watch did
actually come into court
1318
01:13:21,255 --> 01:13:25,184
and did in fact back up
her friend's untrue story
1319
01:13:26,247 --> 01:13:28,962
I suggest you Rose that
it was really happened
1320
01:13:29,556 --> 01:13:31,407
No,I never had that watch
1321
01:13:37,209 --> 01:13:40,543
Would I be wrong in suggesting that
you are a friend of Betty Kane?
1322
01:13:41,047 --> 01:13:43,078
No,I don't know her
1323
01:13:43,078 --> 01:13:45,650
So she couldn't have learned about
the inside of the Franchise?
1324
01:13:45,967 --> 01:13:48,772
What the attic was like?What
was in it for instance? From you
1325
01:13:49,509 --> 01:13:51,248
No,I don't know her
1326
01:13:51,632 --> 01:13:53,232
Very well,Rose,thank you
1327
01:13:54,477 --> 01:13:57,886
My learned friend has suggested that
pressure was brought on you to come here
1328
01:13:59,147 --> 01:14:00,793
Is there any truth in that suggestion?
1329
01:14:01,276 --> 01:14:02,276
No
1330
01:14:03,138 --> 01:14:05,289
What you said in the witness
box at the police court
1331
01:14:05,388 --> 01:14:08,635
and what you have said today is the truth?
1332
01:14:08,635 --> 01:14:09,635
Yes
1333
01:14:09,947 --> 01:14:11,336
Thank you Miss Glynn
1334
01:14:11,607 --> 01:14:12,607
That's all
1335
01:14:12,712 --> 01:14:14,364
That is the case for prosecution,My Lord
1336
01:14:15,267 --> 01:14:19,861
My first witness,My Lord and the members
of the jury,is Mr Bernard Chadwick
1337
01:14:20,136 --> 01:14:21,207
Call Bernard Chadwick
1338
01:14:21,597 --> 01:14:22,790
Bernard Chadwick
1339
01:14:23,529 --> 01:14:24,595
Bernard Chadwick
1340
01:14:30,734 --> 01:14:31,787
Mr Chadwick
1341
01:14:31,854 --> 01:14:36,814
You are I believe,a traveller for the firm
of Bren Haberden Company of London?
1342
01:14:36,814 --> 01:14:37,840
Yes
1343
01:14:37,875 --> 01:14:39,570
And you live with your wife in Ealing?
1344
01:14:39,570 --> 01:14:40,570
That's right
1345
01:14:40,947 --> 01:14:43,641
Did you in March of this year
come to Larborough on business?
1346
01:14:43,641 --> 01:14:44,641
Yes
1347
01:14:44,894 --> 01:14:46,013
And while you were here
1348
01:14:46,072 --> 01:14:47,110
Did you meet a girl?
1349
01:14:47,190 --> 01:14:48,192
Yes
1350
01:14:48,192 --> 01:14:49,215
What was her name?
1351
01:14:49,730 --> 01:14:50,939
Betty Kane
1352
01:14:50,966 --> 01:14:52,465
Do you see her in court?
1353
01:14:52,480 --> 01:14:54,620
Yes,over there
1354
01:14:55,323 --> 01:14:56,718
And how did you come to meet her?
1355
01:14:57,444 --> 01:14:58,516
She picked me up
1356
01:15:03,094 --> 01:15:06,687
Will you please confine yourself
to standard English in your replies
1357
01:15:06,687 --> 01:15:08,419
Mr Chadwick?
1358
01:15:08,700 --> 01:15:09,712
Surely,My Lord
1359
01:15:10,725 --> 01:15:14,098
And how did this acquaintance
between you and Betty Kane develop?
1360
01:15:15,965 --> 01:15:18,473
After that she used to come out
with me on my business trips
1361
01:15:18,508 --> 01:15:19,560
-Alone?
-Yes
1362
01:15:19,660 --> 01:15:22,024
She did have a girlfriend she
used to go to the cinema with
1363
01:15:22,024 --> 01:15:23,960
but she always got rid
of her before she met me
1364
01:15:24,257 --> 01:15:26,954
Did Betty Kane ever mentioned to
you the name of this girlfriend?
1365
01:15:27,054 --> 01:15:29,775
Yes,some kid called Rose something or other
1366
01:15:30,741 --> 01:15:32,996
Did these meetings between
you and Betty Kane
1367
01:15:33,096 --> 01:15:35,241
continued the whole time
when you were in Larborough?
1368
01:15:35,341 --> 01:15:36,341
Yes
1369
01:15:36,385 --> 01:15:38,547
And what happened when
the time came for you to leave?
1370
01:15:39,219 --> 01:15:41,269
I was prepared to pack it up but she wasn't
1371
01:15:41,843 --> 01:15:44,091
She said she wasn't expected home
and else for some time
1372
01:15:44,191 --> 01:15:46,648
but she could easily tell her aunt
that's where she was going
1373
01:15:46,884 --> 01:15:47,999
And what was your reply?
1374
01:15:48,578 --> 01:15:50,032
I wasn't too keen on the idea
1375
01:15:50,353 --> 01:15:51,944
I knew she was 19 but
1376
01:15:51,944 --> 01:15:54,018
She told you she was 19?
1377
01:15:54,335 --> 01:15:55,948
She had her 19th Birthday in Larborough
1378
01:15:56,806 --> 01:15:57,967
Cost me a lipstick
1379
01:15:58,866 --> 01:15:59,866
So?
1380
01:16:00,360 --> 01:16:01,752
After a lot of rag showing
1381
01:16:01,752 --> 01:16:02,896
Of what?
1382
01:16:04,656 --> 01:16:06,160
A lot of discussion,My Lord
1383
01:16:06,895 --> 01:16:11,205
Go on but do confine
yourself to English standard or basic
1384
01:16:12,326 --> 01:16:14,065
After a lot of talk
1385
01:16:16,175 --> 01:16:17,688
I decided it was no particular harm
1386
01:16:17,688 --> 01:16:20,118
in her staying at my bungalow
on the river near Borne End
1387
01:16:20,507 --> 01:16:22,370
It was only used occasionally at week ends
1388
01:16:22,920 --> 01:16:24,338
Where you there with her?
1389
01:16:24,688 --> 01:16:26,339
I was away on business most of the time
1390
01:16:26,596 --> 01:16:27,596
And then?
1391
01:16:28,079 --> 01:16:29,331
I had a bit of a shock
1392
01:16:29,753 --> 01:16:31,131
After she'd been there some days
1393
01:16:31,132 --> 01:16:34,480
she told me she actually been due back
home for her aunt several weeks previously
1394
01:16:34,902 --> 01:16:36,590
Did she said why she misled you?
1395
01:16:36,590 --> 01:16:39,319
Yes,so it would be impossible
for her to go back
1396
01:16:39,527 --> 01:16:41,585
She had no compunction about the suffering
1397
01:16:41,585 --> 01:16:44,019
she would cause people
who were devoted to her
1398
01:16:44,364 --> 01:16:46,481
No,she didn't seem to have
much time for her home
1399
01:16:46,481 --> 01:16:49,036
Have you any idea why
she was unhappy at home?
1400
01:16:49,493 --> 01:16:50,956
From what she said and other things
1401
01:16:51,055 --> 01:16:53,851
she was upset over some boyfriend
who'd found himself another girl
1402
01:16:54,679 --> 01:16:56,528
And that didn't suit Betty Kane?
1403
01:16:57,675 --> 01:16:58,675
No
1404
01:16:58,897 --> 01:17:02,888
You'd say she was the type who just
had to be the centre of attraction?
1405
01:17:03,509 --> 01:17:04,509
Yes
1406
01:17:04,700 --> 01:17:05,893
Where you worried about her?
1407
01:17:06,113 --> 01:17:07,122
Not particularly
1408
01:17:07,222 --> 01:17:10,386
by that time I'd learned she was
very well able to take car of herself
1409
01:17:10,572 --> 01:17:12,384
And what exactly do you mean by that?
1410
01:17:12,825 --> 01:17:15,555
I mean whoever was going to
suffer it wouldn't be Betty Kane
1411
01:17:17,695 --> 01:17:20,386
And how did the situation
at Borne End disintegrate?
1412
01:17:20,968 --> 01:17:22,678
I went down one night and found she'd gone
1413
01:17:23,247 --> 01:17:24,849
Thank you Mr Chadwick
1414
01:17:26,178 --> 01:17:29,502
Mr Chadwick, this is a very
belated story isn't it?
1415
01:17:29,870 --> 01:17:31,715
This case has been a
matter of press reports
1416
01:17:31,715 --> 01:17:35,466
and public comment for weeks
why didn't you go to the police
1417
01:17:35,566 --> 01:17:36,658
and tell them your story?
1418
01:17:36,756 --> 01:17:38,223
Because I've been abroad for my firm
1419
01:17:38,223 --> 01:17:40,304
I knew nothing about the
case until a few days ago
1420
01:17:40,304 --> 01:17:41,304
I see
1421
01:17:42,900 --> 01:17:45,531
You heard something of the
state in which this girl arrived home
1422
01:17:46,818 --> 01:17:48,366
where you responsible for that?
1423
01:17:49,268 --> 01:17:50,268
No
1424
01:17:52,922 --> 01:17:53,947
Thank you Mr Chadwick
1425
01:17:58,957 --> 01:18:00,982
Call Mary Francis Chadwick
1426
01:18:01,580 --> 01:18:03,406
Mary Francis Chadwick
1427
01:18:04,157 --> 01:18:06,067
Mary Francis Chadwick
1428
01:18:21,024 --> 01:18:22,276
When did you first suspect
1429
01:18:22,276 --> 01:18:25,870
that your husband had developed
an interest elsewhere?
1430
01:18:25,894 --> 01:18:29,003
A girl friend of mine told me he
had a guest at our bungalow on the river
1431
01:18:29,155 --> 01:18:30,263
And what did you do?
1432
01:18:30,461 --> 01:18:31,498
I went down there
1433
01:18:32,491 --> 01:18:36,732
Would you please tell the jury,in
your own words,exactly what happened?
1434
01:18:37,174 --> 01:18:39,515
Well,door was unlocked so
I walked straight into the hall
1435
01:18:40,286 --> 01:18:43,707
A woman's voice from the sitting
room called out "Is that you Bernard?"
1436
01:18:44,763 --> 01:18:47,200
So I went in and found her
as large as life on the sofa
1437
01:18:47,200 --> 01:18:50,371
in a kind of negligée you used to
see in the films about 10 years ago
1438
01:18:50,371 --> 01:18:52,450
she looked like nothing,I know
1439
01:18:53,450 --> 01:18:56,355
Please confine yourself to
essentials,Mrs Chadwick
1440
01:18:56,852 --> 01:18:57,872
I'm sorry,My Lord
1441
01:18:58,176 --> 01:19:00,894
I pulled her off the sofa and
gave her a smack in the face
1442
01:19:01,815 --> 01:19:03,209
From then on it was just a fight
1443
01:19:03,305 --> 01:19:04,960
Then who got the better of the exchange?
1444
01:19:05,420 --> 01:19:09,126
I did I was in a flaming
temper I told that silly...
1445
01:19:09,126 --> 01:19:11,195
And anyway you got the better of her?
1446
01:19:11,195 --> 01:19:12,195
Yes
1447
01:19:12,469 --> 01:19:14,941
She tripped over one of
her shoes and went falling
1448
01:19:15,453 --> 01:19:17,137
I waited for her to get up but she didn't
1449
01:19:17,520 --> 01:19:20,472
I thought she'd passed out so I went
into the bathroom and washed my face
1450
01:19:20,883 --> 01:19:22,979
tidied my hair and did me up a bit
1451
01:19:23,274 --> 01:19:25,266
Leaving the girl unconscious on the floor?
1452
01:19:25,293 --> 01:19:26,357
So I thought
1453
01:19:26,357 --> 01:19:31,123
but when I came back I found the faint
had been an act,the little girl had gone
1454
01:19:31,596 --> 01:19:32,705
And what did you do?
1455
01:19:32,887 --> 01:19:35,009
I slung all her things into the
cabin and cleared off
1456
01:19:35,740 --> 01:19:39,870
A couple of days later,the day before my
husband went abroad,I told him what I done
1457
01:19:39,959 --> 01:19:41,097
And what was his reaction?
1458
01:19:41,334 --> 01:19:44,886
He said it was a pity her mother
hadn't done the same thing years ago
1459
01:19:47,024 --> 01:19:50,664
Tell me,Mrs Chadwick,why did you take
so long to come forward with this story?
1460
01:19:51,443 --> 01:19:53,754
Because when my husband
went abroad I went with him
1461
01:19:54,780 --> 01:19:56,337
I thought it advisable
1462
01:19:57,349 --> 01:19:58,349
Quite
1463
01:19:59,605 --> 01:20:00,704
Mrs Chadwick
1464
01:20:01,775 --> 01:20:03,826
Do you recognize anyone in that photograph?
1465
01:20:04,727 --> 01:20:07,631
It's a photograph taken by a street
photographer in Bourne End,My Lord
1466
01:20:07,974 --> 01:20:09,854
I shall call him,if necessary
1467
01:20:10,246 --> 01:20:13,941
Yes,it is my husband and the girl
I found in our bungalow,Betty Kane
1468
01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:15,960
My Lord
1469
01:20:16,508 --> 01:20:17,912
The jury wish me to say something
1470
01:20:18,441 --> 01:20:19,539
Yes,what is it?
1471
01:20:19,611 --> 01:20:20,685
The jury wish me to say
1472
01:20:20,686 --> 01:20:23,474
that we already have enough evidence
on which to arrive at a verdict
1473
01:20:46,349 --> 01:20:49,900
Looks as though our two young perjurers
are foiled,a very pleasing thought
1474
01:20:54,047 --> 01:20:55,247
Now,Marion,perhaps
1475
01:20:56,080 --> 01:20:57,080
Robert
1476
01:20:57,344 --> 01:20:58,468
Look at that poor
1477
01:21:16,028 --> 01:21:18,099
Yes,it was quite an adventure at my age
1478
01:21:18,966 --> 01:21:20,608
Does Robert know that you are going away?
1479
01:21:22,146 --> 01:21:23,879
No,I haven't had a chance to tell him yet
1480
01:21:25,484 --> 01:21:27,310
Come on let's celebrate the victory
1481
01:21:32,337 --> 01:21:33,337
Going away?
1482
01:21:33,519 --> 01:21:35,769
Yes,we are going to Canada to join my uncle
1483
01:21:36,681 --> 01:21:38,145
Mother feels now she'd like to go
1484
01:21:39,245 --> 01:21:40,245
I see
1485
01:21:45,309 --> 01:21:46,643
"My very dear Robert
1486
01:21:48,199 --> 01:21:49,637
This is the hasty farewell note
1487
01:21:49,637 --> 01:21:52,427
just to let you know that
we are both thinking of you
1488
01:21:53,971 --> 01:21:56,866
We leave on a morning plane to
Montreal the day after tomorrow
1489
01:21:59,031 --> 01:22:00,854
Now that the moment is almost here
1490
01:22:00,854 --> 01:22:03,470
we've discovered that
what we both remember
1491
01:22:04,162 --> 01:22:09,226
are the good and lovely things and the
rest fade to comparative insignificance
1492
01:22:12,493 --> 01:22:14,648
This maybe only knocked out you in advance
1493
01:22:15,739 --> 01:22:17,021
I don't know
1494
01:22:18,062 --> 01:22:20,967
I only know that that we always
be happiness to remember you
1495
01:22:23,034 --> 01:22:26,871
And Stanley and Bill
1496
01:22:28,322 --> 01:22:29,967
Our united love to you
1497
01:22:30,992 --> 01:22:32,503
And our gratitude
1498
01:22:33,801 --> 01:22:34,801
Marion
1499
01:22:44,711 --> 01:22:46,021
Excuse me,Sir
1500
01:22:46,021 --> 01:22:47,969
Miss Spence called while you were out
1501
01:22:49,716 --> 01:22:51,755
Her sister wants to change her will again
1502
01:22:52,734 --> 01:22:53,734
She
1503
01:22:53,739 --> 01:22:56,461
She said could they expect
you about teatime tomorrow?
1504
01:22:57,312 --> 01:22:59,155
No alteration(?),thank you
1505
01:23:01,559 --> 01:23:03,278
You need a good holiday,Mr Blair?
1506
01:23:04,636 --> 01:23:07,414
I could easily look after things here
for a couple of months,you know
1507
01:23:08,290 --> 01:23:09,743
Thank you Anthony I'm sure you could
1508
01:23:15,126 --> 01:23:16,341
-Yes
-Robert
1509
01:23:16,341 --> 01:23:17,341
Yes Aunt Lin
1510
01:23:18,034 --> 01:23:19,776
About the fish,dear,I forgot to tell you
1511
01:23:20,164 --> 01:23:23,469
Try and get plaice will you that turbot
you got last time was a little poor bite
1512
01:23:24,875 --> 01:23:27,092
Right,plaice not turbot
1513
01:23:27,092 --> 01:23:28,843
That is unless you can get sole of course
1514
01:23:29,101 --> 01:23:30,954
Unless I can get sole,of course
1515
01:23:31,140 --> 01:23:33,005
I see,bye,bye then
1516
01:23:59,136 --> 01:24:00,664
I wonder what Robert is doing now
1517
01:24:00,957 --> 01:24:02,326
He is not at the fishmongers
1518
01:24:05,768 --> 01:24:09,015
Oh,Robert you don't know how
revolting you look when you are smug
1519
01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:11,520
That's a turn out from the books
1520
01:24:15,727 --> 01:24:17,060
