1
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,000
Out. What do you mean, out?
2
00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:26,520
I signed
the release paper last night.
3
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:30,920
- Ape!
- What?!
4
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,720
This is wonderful. Wonderful.
5
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,680
Well, we know Luther.
6
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,800
And his surprises...
7
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:50,560
I think we've met,
in Munich in the summer.
8
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,520
I was with
the Japanese delegation.
9
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,160
My husband was
with the Japanese delegation.
10
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,600
Duchess Alberta.
11
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,520
Sadly, I was unable to attend.
12
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,640
Oh my dear,
what a sight you missed.
13
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,320
All those glistening athletic bodies.
14
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,720
These beautiful Aryan boys.
15
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,360
Indeed.
16
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,000
Olympic ideal at its purest.
17
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,680
Yes. That too.
18
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,800
Woo! woo! Yeah! Comon.
19
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:27,920
Oh, for goodness sake.
20
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,120
Oh, well, I'm sorry.
21
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,160
I think you may be drunk
here Windjammer.
22
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,120
I'm smashed permanently,
isn't everyone.
23
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,440
Oh, my wife doesn't look in the mood
24
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,240
for goodwill to all men.
25
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,160
Heil Hitler...
26
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,800
Meine Damen und Herren.
27
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:52,320
I bid you welcome to my,
erm, little home.
28
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,440
On this night the Von Bode's
29
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,280
have gathered to celebrate the Feast
30
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,640
of Saint Nicholas
31
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,160
for the benefit
of our guests from overseas,
32
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,880
this is a particularly
German tradition.
33
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,720
Saint Nicholas brings presents
34
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,360
to the good children
35
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,000
and the wicked children
are visited by...
36
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,600
well we have all that
to look forward to.
37
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,920
But this year is a particularly
special occasion.
38
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,640
If you know your Bible,
you will be aware
39
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,880
of the parable of the Prodigal Son.
40
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:39,600
Meine damen und herren.
41
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,240
It is time...
42
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,880
Entschuldigen Sie bitte...
43
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,520
Oh, excuse me boys. Thank you.
44
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,320
Es tut mir leid...
45
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,240
One pretzel. Possibly pre-war.
46
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:28,320
Ey?!
47
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,000
All the buffet had to offer.
48
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,360
Though buffet is being charitable
49
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,080
and the promise of coffee
was more like a threat.
50
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,960
One of the more
insignificant effects
51
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,880
of losing a World War, I suppose.
52
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,560
A decline in the quality
of on board vittels.
53
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,200
How about a bacon sarnie?
54
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,480
Oh, if only.
55
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,080
Trottie thought ahead.
56
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,000
Mrs Book, Mrs Book,
57
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,360
what would we do without you?
58
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,760
You know I never thought
I'd leave England.
59
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,200
Never mind all this.
60
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,080
- Thank you.
- Don't mention it.
61
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,840
But we're not on holiday. My boy.
62
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,880
- Remember?
- No, no, of course not.
63
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:12,880
- Ready?
- Again?
64
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,400
We need to get our stories straight
65
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,440
or they won't give us
the time of day.
66
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,720
Renowned antiquarian bookseller,
67
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,800
Sebastian Melmoth.
68
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,400
- Hello.
- Is heading to Germany
69
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,720
with his blindingly handsome,
trusted assistant,
70
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,080
Mr Jack Blunt.
71
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,080
Here comes I don't get
a secret identity.
72
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,800
Well you don't need one do you?
Luther Von Bode knows my name.
73
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,280
He doesn't know yours.
74
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,080
Nor that you happen
to be his grandson.
75
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,120
- Go on...
- Luther is wanting to sell
76
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:41,520
a second folio of Shakespeare,
77
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,440
which is our way to gain
his confidence.
78
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,160
But he mustn't know who you are.
79
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,280
Exactly. I will blend in,
80
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,360
wear a funny hat,
hide behind the Arras.
81
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:51,440
That sort of thing.
82
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:52,840
Giving us time to find out.
83
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,440
- Discreetly.
- Discreetly, what happened
84
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,880
to my father on December 5th, 1936.
85
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,080
We need to speak
to a doctor, Kaufmann.
86
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,280
Because he was the one
87
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,040
who returned your letters to Felix.
88
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,640
He's also the one that told you
89
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,760
that my father had died
in a sanatorium
90
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:15,760
of a brain tumor.
91
00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:17,800
- Yes.
- On the same day
92
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,480
that Felix was photographed
at the Christmas party.
93
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,680
Someone is lying.
94
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,800
Maybe a lot of people are lying.
95
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,040
And in addition?
96
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,840
In addition,
the Duchess Alberta.
97
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,720
Our noblesse obligation.
98
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,400
The Shakespeare folio
incriminates her,
99
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,440
opens up all sorts of questions
100
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,720
as to what else
she might have liberated
101
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,000
from the royal vaults.
102
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,240
But we take it
slowly and carefully.
103
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,720
When and if Luther
trusts us, only then
104
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,400
do we reveal who you really are.
105
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,160
- Understood?
- Understood?
106
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,400
What about this place itself?
What's it called again? Whirl?
107
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,080
Würl.
108
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,000
Did my old man
ever say much about that?
109
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,280
Oh, yes.
110
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,760
And the way Felix described it.
111
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,760
It's like something
out of a fairy tale.
112
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,920
Well he weren't wrong.
113
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,680
- What is it?
- Oh, nothing.
114
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,880
I was expecting us to be met
at the bottom of the hill.
115
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,560
That's all. Oh, well.
116
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,640
What the hell's going on?
117
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,600
More than a whiff of Nuremberg.
118
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,400
I suppose Christmas is Christmas.
119
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,640
Even if there has been a war on.
120
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,560
Er, Melmoth? Duttweiler.
121
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,120
I'm sorry for my lateness.
122
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,240
Don't give it another thought.
123
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,680
- Please...
- Danke schön.
124
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,760
- Nervous?
- Nah.
125
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,080
Me too.
126
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:21,800
Just like the old times huh?
127
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,440
Oh, God. How depressing.
128
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,680
Maybe Hitler had the right idea.
129
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,600
I wouldn't say that
too loud if I was you.
130
00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:35,320
I mean, blowing his brains out.
131
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,280
About all we're fit for now.
132
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,160
Oh, I mean, look at us.
133
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,960
What a sad spectacle.
134
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,120
What do you think Guy?
135
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,400
What say we put down
the whole pack of us.
136
00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:49,520
Humanely. Of course.
137
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:50,920
Just say the word, honey.
138
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,520
I promise it won't hurt... much.
139
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,280
- You say the sweetest things.
- Nonsense.
140
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,680
You're talking
nonsense, my dear Alberta.
141
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,960
But it is the feast
of Saint Nicholas.
142
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,000
And we celebrate just as we used to.
143
00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:08,800
We are still here.
144
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,040
We have survived.
145
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:14,080
Most of us.
146
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,520
And I have gathered
those dearest to me
147
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,360
back to my tender bosom.
148
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,080
But where is Irma.
149
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,680
And the head doctor? Yes.
150
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:28,920
Where is Kaufmann?
151
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,600
I must apologise
for not meeting you in person.
152
00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:47,120
But I am a very busy man.
153
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,280
Luther von Bode.
154
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,640
Sebastian Melmoth. Pleasure.
155
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,640
My assistant. Mr Blunt.
156
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:02,440
I trust our business
157
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,800
can be swiftly concluded
Herr Melmoth.
158
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,960
- Wouldn't that be nice?
- Come.
159
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,840
Gently does it, Jack.
Remember? Gently.
160
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,360
Yeah. Yeah.
161
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,040
You don't have to worry about me.
162
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,840
Exquisite. Exquisite.
163
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,320
Second Folio in Dark Calf.
164
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,880
Printed 1632.
Exceptionally rare.
165
00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:47,040
And yet you want to sell.
166
00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:49,160
The war, I suppose,
167
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,160
this place can't exactly
be cheap to maintain.
168
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,240
Yeah. It's true.
169
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,680
Many aristocratic
families have lost much.
170
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,320
Fortunately, the
Von Bode's are not among them.
171
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,000
You will find me a wily
old negotiator here, Melmoth.
172
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,520
Now I am the last of my line.
173
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,040
Well, this all
seems very promising,
174
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,160
but you are asking
a great deal of money.
175
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:17,360
Might I have some time?
176
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:18,960
Of course, of course.
177
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,080
You are my honoured guests.
178
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,280
My honoured British guests.
179
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,800
After all, we are all friends now.
180
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,120
You must be tired.
181
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,440
Please, let us discuss this
matter further in the morning.
182
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:44,480
You have a favourite?
183
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,760
- Favourite, Sir?
- Of the plays?
184
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,480
Of Shakespeare's plays?
185
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,400
As Herr Melmoth's assistant
186
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,280
you must surely be very familiar.
187
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,240
Oh, Jack has too many to mention,
188
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,280
- don't you, Jack?
- Yeah.
189
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,280
I mean all the obvious ones.
190
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:02,760
The Day in the Fane.
191
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,280
The Moor, though,
Love's Labour's Lost,
192
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,000
should never be performed again.
193
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:08,560
And as for Dogberry in 'Much Ado'.
194
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,240
Merchant of Venice.
195
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,080
Hmm.
196
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,320
The quality of mercy
is not strained.
197
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,720
It drop us like gentle rain.
198
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,000
From heaven, upon the place beneath.
199
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:25,880
You have a favourite Shakespeare?
200
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,120
Heir Von Bode?
201
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:29,720
Titus Andronicus.
202
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,120
Well, as you say,
it's been a very long day.
203
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:35,800
You're not the last in line.
204
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:37,680
What?
205
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,560
The Von Bode's.
You're not the last one.
206
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,080
- There's me.
- What?
207
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,120
- I'm your grandson.
- Jack!
208
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,840
- What did you say?
- I'm your grandson.
209
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,200
I'm Felix's son.
210
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,240
- I do not understand.
- It's true.
211
00:15:58,320 --> 00:15:59,600
Heir Von Bode...
212
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:05,360
Who are you?
213
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,760
Um, I'm Jack Blunt. Um.
214
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,120
I'm, uh, I was.
I was in an orphanage.
215
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:12,560
That's my first memory
216
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,160
and I had a photograph of my father.
217
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:16,720
It was this one.
218
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,040
Uh, I had this and a name
and that was it.
219
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,040
This is incredible.
220
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,880
Look, it's all here.
All the documents.
221
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,120
We were going
to take you through it,
222
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,200
in the fullness of time.
223
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:35,760
It's the truth.
224
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,000
It's all there.
225
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:39,120
I'm telling the truth, honestly.
226
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,600
I'm your grandson. I'm Felix's son.
227
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:47,880
And who then, Sir, are you?
228
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,800
Just a bookseller. As I say.
229
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,040
I came across your name,
Herr Von Bode.
230
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,680
Found out you were in the market
to sell the Shakespeare Folio.
231
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,760
It seemed too good a chance
for Jack here to miss.
232
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,080
We had no intention
to deceive. Truly.
233
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,720
Jack is only here
to find some answers.
234
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:08,920
You will understand that this
235
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,000
has come as something of a shock.
236
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:12,400
Yeah. No. Of course.
237
00:17:25,120 --> 00:17:27,000
Hmm. There is a resemblance.
238
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,480
Certainly a resemblance.
239
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,120
I will study these.
240
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,440
My people will study
these in great detail.
241
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,080
- If this is true...
- It is.
242
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:45,360
I swear.
243
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,320
I'm so sorry, Mr Book.
244
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:54,400
It was just when.
245
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,040
When he said that
he was the last one.
246
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,520
I, I couldn't keep it in.
247
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:02,320
He's my grandfather,
248
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:05,200
my blood relative.
249
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:06,760
He's the only one that I've ever...
250
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,360
It's not the end of the world.
251
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,240
We were going to tell
him eventually.
252
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:15,120
The quality of mercy is not strained.
253
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:16,640
You're full of surprises.
254
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,720
Yeah, I've been boning up ain't I.
255
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,440
So, what do you make
of the whole family pile?
256
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,440
It's cosy, innit?
257
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,040
Still.
258
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,600
As they are want to say
on the Yellow Brick Road,
259
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:36,640
there's no place like home...
260
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:53,560
Good evening.
261
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,080
Oh.
262
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:56,680
Oh, this is beautiful.
263
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,000
[startled] You're early.
264
00:18:59,360 --> 00:19:00,360
Do you want me to wait?
265
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,000
No, no, no. It's, uh.
266
00:19:02,360 --> 00:19:05,680
Well, I just have to be careful,
that's all. Reggie.
267
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,560
Any respectable married woman.
268
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,120
Well,
that's exactly what I am.
269
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,680
Or what I have to appear to be.
270
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,000
I have such a passion
271
00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:15,560
for seducing respectable
married women.
272
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,360
Is that all this is?
273
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,200
A seduction?
274
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,440
You know me better
than that by now, Trottie.
275
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,160
And so, it's a whole week
to ourselves.
276
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,400
Nora is looking after the bookshop
277
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,600
that should occupy her completely,
278
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,280
which only leaves Dog,
279
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,360
and he's very discreet.
280
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,760
Oh, come on,
281
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,680
you've sniffed every
bloomin' thing we've passed.
282
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:19,840
Bloody hell.
283
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,280
Jesus, Luther.
You're just going to take
284
00:20:29,360 --> 00:20:31,280
- this kid at face value.
- Of course not.
285
00:20:31,360 --> 00:20:33,200
I'm not a complete fool Guy.
286
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,800
But if he is who he says he is,
287
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:37,960
my lawyers will look over the papers.
288
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,440
- We will see.
- Oh, this is delicious.
289
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,000
It's nuts. Nuts.
Luther, you can't just accept--
290
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,280
Ten years ago,
I lost my only son.
291
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:47,920
- And now...
- ...your grandson
292
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,840
has come to take his place.
293
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:51,920
He obviously
just wants money.
294
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,520
No. Listen, I don't want
anything like that.
295
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,720
I just want answers, about my father.
296
00:20:58,400 --> 00:20:59,560
See who that is?
297
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,200
Sir.
298
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,560
My son was not well.
299
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,160
He behaved so strangely
300
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,360
that we had to put
him away for a while.
301
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,400
- Sanatorium.
- And then?
302
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,960
And there he died.
303
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,320
The tumour on the brain.
304
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,000
That was what was causing it.
305
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,080
Causing it all.
306
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,000
God rest his soul.
307
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,040
What's your role
in all of this?
308
00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:40,480
Mr Melmoth, chaperone
to the little bastard?
309
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:42,600
Just an interested party.
310
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,040
I'm a bookseller, actually.
A specialist.
311
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,960
Oh, I'm a collector, too.
312
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:49,760
So I gather your grace.
313
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,120
I'm aware that circumstances
314
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,560
have changed here Von Bode.
315
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,040
But the Shakespeare folio...
316
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,480
Oh, it's still for sale.
Yes, very much so.
317
00:22:02,120 --> 00:22:03,120
Excellent.
318
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,600
And your library?
319
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,240
Full of treasures.
320
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,080
Very tempting. May I.
321
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:13,440
If you wish.
322
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:15,800
It's rather thrillingly
323
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,520
like Anastasia all of this, isn't it?
324
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,960
- Who?
- Romanoff Princess.
325
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:22,080
She was meant to have escaped
326
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,760
the Bolsheviks firing squad in 1918.
327
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,800
Tipped up in Berlin in the 20s.
328
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,520
Of course almost certainly
329
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,320
a horrible imposter.
330
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,440
I was related to her.
331
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,840
I mean, the real Anastasia.
332
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,080
Distantly.
333
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,920
Yes. My husband
is very keen on reminding me
334
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,080
just how distant relation
to the king I am.
335
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:43,760
Aren't you, darling?
336
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,360
Well, it'll be nice
to have some more
337
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,880
erudite company this weekend
338
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,600
as I'm not sure that half of
them here can actually read.
339
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:02,920
Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen.
340
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,640
Guten abend meine damen
und herren!
341
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,920
My name is Inspector Ernest Bliss.
342
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,360
Mein Name ist
Inspektor Ernest Bliss!
343
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,240
And I'm afraid there's been a murder.
344
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:11,960
Ich fürchte,
es hat einen Mord gegeben...
345
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,480
Didn't expect we'll be
seeing you for a while yet.
346
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:30,520
Can't keep you
away from trouble,
347
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:31,640
can you, Inspector.
348
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,960
Well, this was
hardly part of the plan.
349
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,400
Good to see you anyway.
350
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,120
Yeah, and you.
351
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,000
Not everything's worked out.
352
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,680
This has rather complicated
matters though, hasn't it?
353
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,840
A little. Plus, the dead man
354
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,600
was the one who sent me
official confirmation
355
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,080
that Felix was dead.
356
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,040
Hmm, you think,
you think there's a connection?
357
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:56,440
I'm not sure yet.
358
00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,440
It was horrible.
Horrible. His face.
359
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:02,400
There, there.
360
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,760
You must get some rest.
Let's get you to bed.
361
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,040
Help yourself to anything
362
00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:08,800
you find in my cabinet, darling.
363
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:10,720
I have everything.
364
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,040
But keep off the hard stuff.
365
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,480
She hasn't developed
your tolerance, honey.
366
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,840
No, no. I have my own.
367
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,640
Poor old Kaufmann, eh?
368
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,120
Indeed.
369
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:28,600
Although I don't
suppose you'll be shedding
370
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:29,840
many tears, will you?
371
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,520
What is that supposed to mean?
372
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:39,760
So what now?
373
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,120
I want you to stay here, Jack.
374
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,360
Find out everything you can
about the night that Felix died.
375
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:47,920
Discreetly this time.
376
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,120
Yeah. Don't worry.
377
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:54,720
Scene of the crime.
378
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:56,840
Scene of the crime.
379
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,760
We haven't been properly
introduced, Gabriel Book.
380
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,760
- Liesl Pohl.
- Delighted.
381
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,320
I have heard so much about you.
382
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,080
All bad I hope.
383
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:41,800
Pol used to work
with the police here.
384
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,440
Been cleared
by all the security checks.
385
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,800
So she's a good one, a good German.
386
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,480
- Sorry.
- No, it is worth saying.
387
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:50,680
I hated the Nazis.
388
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,240
Which is more than can
be said for most of the people
389
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,000
staying in Schloss
Von Bode currently.
390
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaking of which, we'd best hurry.
391
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,840
There's only so long I can
nip outside for a quick smoke.
392
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,040
We can get you back
in the same way we left.
393
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:04,640
- The servants entrance?
- Yeah.
394
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,760
- It is never locked.
- Excellent.
395
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,640
So what do we know
about the late Doctor Kaufmann?
396
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,200
Widower. No children.
397
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:14,720
And he has been personal physician
398
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,880
to Luther von Bode for 30 years.
399
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:17,960
Has he now?
400
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,920
Pathology report of a sort.
401
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,520
- No, Doctor Calder alas.
- Alas.
402
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,760
No sign of forced entry
and no prints anywhere.
403
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,280
What else do we know about him?
404
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,480
Associates. Enemies.
Drink. Debt. Women.
405
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,160
He was not well liked.
406
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,440
Clearly someone
really didn't like him.
407
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,080
Choked with coal
and covered with soot.
408
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,160
It's a new one on me.
409
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,640
Book. What is it?
410
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,120
It's just a notion.
411
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:10,520
Go on...
412
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,480
Have you ever heard
of Knecht Ruprecht?
413
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:14,720
Of course.
414
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,480
Perhaps it is not well known
in England.
415
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,920
No. It's all
different here. Yeah.
416
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,480
Very different. Wh-wha--
417
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,120
Knecht Ruprecht
is a legendary creature.
418
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,240
There's even a tune by Schumann.
419
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,760
Ruprecht accompanies
Saint Nicholas
420
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,080
on his rounds and doles out things
421
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:36,360
to naughty children,
including lumps of coal.
422
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,800
Oh I see, so you think someone's
trying to make a point?
423
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,160
Kaufmann was being punished?
424
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:43,760
It is possible.
425
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,560
Knecht Ruprecht hits wicked children
426
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:46,840
with a bag of ashes.
427
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,760
Drowns them or stuffs them in a sack
428
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:50,560
and carries them to hell.
429
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,080
Oh, blimey. Merry Christmas!
430
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:32,840
[echoes hazily] No, no.
You are not real.
431
00:28:33,360 --> 00:28:35,200
You are not real. No. No!
432
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,680
Get away from me! Get away from me!
433
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,760
Get away from me! Noooo, no!
434
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:52,800
No.
435
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,520
That's the official story.
436
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,120
The one Luther told you.
437
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,560
After all the day
guests had left
438
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,600
he admitted that Felix was
here the night of the party.
439
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,880
He said he was behaving strange.
440
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,240
Erratic. You know,
because of the tumour.
441
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,200
What do the others say?
442
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,760
That Felix seemed perfectly fine
443
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,360
when they talked to him.
444
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,320
And that he did go back
to the sanatorium
445
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:26,640
and died there.
446
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,600
The disparity,
then between Luther's account
447
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,200
and that of the other guests.
448
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:34,960
If only we could
have spoken to Kaufmann.
449
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:36,080
Yeah but he's dead.
450
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:37,480
Ah!
451
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,760
White and snowy. Lies the land.
452
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,160
Here comes Saint Nicholas,
staff in hand.
453
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,360
Who's that with him?
Face like a fright.
454
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,800
Knecht Ruprecht.
Ruprecht. Tuck up tight.
455
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:57,480
What's that?
456
00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:59,440
Local ditty
457
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,040
about Santa's not so little helper.
458
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,040
Knecht Ruprecht comes to poke
459
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,280
and peer at all the little children
460
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,280
who've been bad this year.
461
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,040
Too late now to go
to church with coal,
462
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,840
then sack, then switch of birch.
463
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,440
Ruprecht will be the one to tell,
464
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,960
who goes to heaven and who to hell.
465
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,960
The question is,
who would want to kill Kaufmann?
466
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:29,960
They were all pretty tight lipped.
467
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,120
There was one thing that
I did pick up on?
468
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:35,480
Yes?
469
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,520
Doctor Kaufmann and the big fella,
470
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,960
Duttweiler, they didn't get on,
feud goes way back.
471
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,160
Ah now, that's very revealing.
472
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:45,400
Is it?
473
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,400
I found a photograph
in Kaufmann's office.
474
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,840
He and Duttweiler
were in the same regiment
475
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,080
during the Great War.
476
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,640
Duttweiler of a higher rank.
477
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:59,240
Judging by his uniform.
Kaufmann a mere private.
478
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,960
I see. I mean,
it can't have been easy,
479
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,360
going back to bowing and scraping
480
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,400
to a bloke that used
to give orders to.
481
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,120
Festering resentment.
482
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:13,480
My favourite motive.
483
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,000
So Duttweiler has got
to be in the frame for it?
484
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,640
He was in the village.
He was late picking us up.
485
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,760
He could have done
in Doctor Kaufmann.
486
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:25,560
If so...
487
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:29,320
What?
488
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:30,960
Why don't you see?
489
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:35,920
The butler did it.
490
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:58,880
Herr Von Bode. Kommen Sie schnell.
491
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:00,400
Im stall hangt etwas.
492
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:02,600
What is it? What's happened?
493
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,040
Jesus.
494
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:39,320
Coal then sack.
495
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:42,960
So much for the butler.
496
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:17,360
Dog?
497
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:22,920
Nora?
498
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:25,680
Ugh.
499
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,200
Have you been
here all night?
500
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,560
- What time is it?
- It's 8:30.
501
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,240
Your uncle will be frantic.
502
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:36,680
He won't mind.
503
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,360
He knows I'm here all day.
504
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,200
Yes, but not all night.
505
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,200
It doesn't even open on a Sunday.
506
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,440
Yes, I know that.
507
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,720
Is everything all right Nora?
508
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:53,680
Nora?
509
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:56,240
Oh, damn.
510
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,400
Thought you weren't
expecting me to sleep here.
511
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:21,280
Huh?
512
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,000
You've got two cops out.
513
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,800
You must be psychic, Mrs B.
514
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,560
Force of habit, I suppose,
from me and Book.
515
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,360
Right. Yeah.
516
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:37,680
Course.
517
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:40,560
Uhm...
518
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,120
Two sugars in mine,
519
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,440
if you can spare
that from your ration.
520
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:53,440
Mm.
521
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,040
Barbiturate overdose.
522
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:02,880
Injected in the neck.
523
00:35:03,240 --> 00:35:05,000
And something else. Cologne.
524
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,320
Lots of it.
Which he hadn't been wearing
525
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:08,920
earlier in the evening.
526
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:10,920
Must have taken a bit of strength
527
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,920
to get a big bugger
like him into the sack.
528
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:15,800
Hoist him up into the eaves.
529
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:17,200
Maybe.
530
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:19,760
Well, anyway,
I've asked everyone
531
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,080
staying in the castle
just to stay put.
532
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:23,760
It's got to be one
of them, hasn't it?
533
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,600
Right. Plan of action.
534
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,600
Well, it can't exactly be
business as usual, can it?
535
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,080
As far as they're all concerned...
536
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,440
You're just a bookseller.
So you'll. You'll be discreet.
537
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:38,680
Keep out the way.
538
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,320
Yes, absolutely.
539
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,040
You won't know I'm here.
540
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,360
Do you believe me?
541
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,400
Do you believe I am who I say I am?
542
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,520
Luther is hardly sentimental.
543
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,160
If you are a fraud,
he will discover it.
544
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:59,000
And then, I would not like
to be in your shoes.
545
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,240
Look, I asked everyone last night
546
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,320
what happened to Felix
547
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,120
all those years ago at the party?
548
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,720
I mean, Luther said
he collapsed. But...
549
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:12,640
Luther is a liar.
550
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,160
The story they told
about Felix's end.
551
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,800
It is not. It cannot be true.
552
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,120
Will you tell me
what really happened?
553
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:27,120
If I think
I can trust you. Perhaps.
554
00:36:27,720 --> 00:36:29,080
We just.
555
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,320
I, just want to know the truth.
556
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,240
[laughs] The truth?
557
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,480
The truth is a stranger
to these walls.
558
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:39,760
You said you grew up here.
559
00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:43,280
So are you...
560
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,400
Are we, like cousins or?
561
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,200
I am not a Von Bode.
562
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:51,800
Luther took me in after,
563
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:55,080
after my father died.
564
00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:59,720
And were you close?
565
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:01,400
You and Felix.
566
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:04,680
I adored him.
567
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,520
Oh, not in that way.
568
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,160
He was like an older brother to me.
569
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,400
We confide in each other.
We told each other everything.
570
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:18,680
And so, I know
who it was he truly loved.
571
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:25,600
I read everyone's statements,
572
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,480
their movements
on the day Kaufmann was killed.
573
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,120
And last night when Duttweiler died.
574
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,400
Well, we're
each other's alibis, Inspector.
575
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,480
I'm sorry if that doesn't help.
576
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,080
You were
in Bermuda, weren't you?
577
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:38,520
For the duration of the war?
578
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:40,280
Sorry. Don't mind me.
579
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:41,600
We were!
580
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,160
Keeping the British end up.
581
00:37:43,240 --> 00:37:45,920
We could hardly pop
over here to Germany, could we?
582
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:50,160
We wouldn't have done at all.
But now that's all over.
583
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,080
Back to the good old days.
584
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,720
Hardly.
This bloody country's a wreck.
585
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:59,040
But Luther asked,
and so here we are again.
586
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,800
Luther's always
been a very generous host.
587
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,200
Doctor Kauffmann,
an old friend?
588
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,120
We had been through much together.
589
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:07,800
- And Duttweiler?
- His family
590
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,280
have been servants here
for generations.
591
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,920
The Von Bode blood
is in these stones.
592
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,800
We are aristocrats, an unbroken chain
593
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,320
of authority, of dignity, of power.
594
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,200
Not looking too powerful
now though are you?
595
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,120
Flogging the family silver
or the Shakespeare folio?
596
00:38:28,240 --> 00:38:31,680
Just to survive. Sorry.
Not here. Ignore me.
597
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,120
Fascinating stuff.
598
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,760
Not sure Irma was very keen
599
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:38,480
on either of them, actually.
600
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,800
Kaufmann
and Duttweiler I mean,
601
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:42,760
she rather thought they
looked down on her.
602
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:44,080
Looked down on her?
603
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:45,440
Well Luther took her in,
604
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,280
after her father's suicide.
605
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,240
He made her his ward.
606
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:50,560
She grew up in the castle.
607
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,240
Everyone knew that she was reliant
608
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:53,480
on Luther's charity.
609
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:55,200
Irma's father killed himself?
610
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:57,600
Sorry. Me again.
611
00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,080
It's no secret that my father
612
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:00,520
lost everything in the crash.
613
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,240
The stock market.
I had nothing.
614
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:04,480
Luther took me in.
615
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:08,040
Eventually I got away to Berlin.
But then the war.
616
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:09,280
And what
about your relationship
617
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,720
- with the dead men?
- Purely professional.
618
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,280
Doctor Kaufmann provided me
with the drugs I take.
619
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:16,040
- For sleeping yes?
- Yes.
620
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:17,800
Secobarbital, I believe.
621
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:19,560
According to the doctor's notes.
622
00:39:20,240 --> 00:39:21,240
A barbiturate.
623
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:23,040
It's the Japanese woman.
624
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:24,600
You really should
be grilling, though.
625
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,080
- Oh?
- Oh, yes.
626
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,560
Because of what Kaufmann
did to Mr Yamauchi.
627
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:31,400
What became of your husband?
628
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:32,920
The war, I suppose.
629
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:34,720
No, not the war.
630
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:36,800
He died of peritonitis.
631
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,240
In Japan?
632
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,320
No. Here.
633
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:41,400
What here?!
634
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:42,960
Symptoms were ignored.
635
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,120
By the time he realised
it was too late.
636
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:46,480
These symptoms were ignored
637
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,640
by Doctor Kaufmann?
638
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:51,800
Well. Luther's rattled.
639
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:52,920
You see his face?
640
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:54,720
Well, his butler and his friend
641
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:56,720
the doctor, have both
just been killed
642
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,520
by a grotesque
and rather baroque means.
643
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:00,640
What do you describe yourself
644
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,840
as Luther's friend? Your grace?
645
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,040
Luther doesn't have friends.
646
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,240
Just people who can be
useful to him for a while.
647
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,480
I mean, we're more
than acquaintances, of course.
648
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,160
I've helped him buy
and sell a few things.
649
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:15,560
Keep the coffers full.
650
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:17,480
You become something
of a fixture here,
651
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,280
I understand.
Since the end of the war.
652
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,240
Luther has been very kind.
653
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,840
You must have got to know
the servants rather well.
654
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:25,960
Poor Duttweiler.
655
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:27,360
It is shocking.
656
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:28,680
Was Duttweiler, by any chance
657
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:30,720
an habitual wearer of heavy scent?
658
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:32,040
Scent?
659
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:33,720
Eau de Cologne, du Coq?
660
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:35,160
Not to my knowledge.
661
00:40:35,240 --> 00:40:36,720
You say you were in the castle
662
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:38,480
the whole time on the day
Kaufmann was killed.
663
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:40,360
What about last night?
664
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,520
I have no alibi.
665
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,040
I sleep alone, of course.
666
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,200
Ah, yes.
So many have been widowed.
667
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,520
I mean, it must be
very lonely for you.
668
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,720
Well one learns to be stoical.
669
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:53,480
Herr Von Bode has provided you
670
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,240
with much comfort, I'm sure.
671
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,880
How well did you both
know the deceased men?
672
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:00,320
Well, we met them both,
673
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:01,720
obviously, over the years.
674
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:03,640
Ghastly both of them.
675
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:05,720
Kaufmann was so quiet.
676
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,560
Rather gave one the creeps.
Duttweiler.
677
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:10,880
Frankenstein I used to call him.
678
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,000
Great lumbering brute.
679
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,520
- 's monster.
- Sorry?
680
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,200
Frankenstein's monster.
681
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,160
He was the great lumbering brute.
682
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,640
Monster, not Frankenstein. Sorry.
683
00:41:23,720 --> 00:41:24,720
Ignore me.
684
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,120
So not a fan of either, then?
685
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,440
No, but finding
people tedious
686
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,440
at parties is a tenuous
motive for murder,
687
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:33,400
don't you think, Inspector?
688
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:35,760
Half of Belgravia
would be in the dock.
689
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:39,000
I've been thinking, Mr Melmoth.
690
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,960
Melmoth. It's a book, isn't it?
691
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:43,560
Melmoth the Wanderer.
692
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:45,280
A gothic classic.
693
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,000
Like me.
694
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:49,360
Funny.
695
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:55,120
Wasn't that the name that
Oscar Wilde used in exile?
696
00:41:55,240 --> 00:41:56,880
Sebastian Melmoth.
697
00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:58,880
Was it really?
698
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:00,400
Can you think
of a stronger motive?
699
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,560
Why anyone would want
to kill these men.
700
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:04,240
Got to be a nut, I guess.
701
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,840
- Or.
- Or.
702
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:08,840
Well, we've all
heard the rumours
703
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,560
about this nasty Santa Claus thing.
704
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,400
What is it? Knicky... Knacky...?
705
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,440
Knecht Ruprecht.
706
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:18,800
Yes. That's the chap.
707
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:20,720
- Whose theory is this?
- Mine, I'm afraid.
708
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:22,720
Oh, indeed. And so the deaths
709
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:24,560
of respectable German citizens
710
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,680
are now to be investigated
by English amateurs...
711
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:30,080
and Jews.
712
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,960
Mr... Mr... Book,
Mr... Melman,
713
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,080
Mr Melmoth is an acquaintance
from London.
714
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,040
He's very welcome
to help in any way he can.
715
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:40,400
As if it were
not bad enough
716
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:41,960
that they were slaughtered.
717
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:44,520
But this humiliation
718
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,160
punished like naughty children.
It is obscene.
719
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,920
Find out who did this
and do so quickly.
720
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:55,640
I'll do my best.
721
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:00,280
But you might do well
to remember Mr Von Bode,
722
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:02,400
who won the bloody war.
723
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,800
Well,
you have quite a nerve.
724
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:16,320
I beg your Pardon?
725
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:20,920
Coming here into my home, Mr Book.
726
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:25,960
I wrote to Felix,
waited for a reply.
727
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:27,040
Waited and waited.
728
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,440
Felix never saw
your damned letters.
729
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:30,920
He was in the sanatorium by then.
730
00:43:31,240 --> 00:43:32,960
With this so-called tumour.
731
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,800
Describe it how you would.
It was a kind of sickness,
732
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:37,040
a disease.
733
00:43:37,240 --> 00:43:38,360
Disease?
734
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:40,600
He was afflicted
with a perversion
735
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:42,880
that made me ashamed
to call him my own blood.
736
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:44,680
Oh, of course.
737
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:46,200
My only heir.
738
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:49,760
The heir to the Von Bode line.
739
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:56,000
Decedent. Corrupted.
Corrupted by you.
740
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:03,560
So you locked him away?
741
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,440
Kaufmann thought
he might respond to treatment
742
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:12,000
but I should simply
have put Felix down,
743
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:14,240
like a sick animal.
744
00:44:14,720 --> 00:44:15,880
Is that what you did?
745
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,720
Because there was
no tumour, was there, Luther?
746
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,000
No matter what lie
you've been telling yourself.
747
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:23,680
You turn up here with that boy,
748
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:28,200
under false pretences,
using a false name.
749
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,960
And then he claims to be
my own flesh and blood.
750
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:34,120
Quite the coincidence.
751
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:37,160
Or something more
752
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:39,120
a conspiracy.
753
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:40,200
Yeah.
754
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,600
A conspiracy that ends
with the deaths
755
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:44,480
of Kaufmann and Duttweiler.
756
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:48,200
What really happened
that night Luther?
757
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:51,920
What the hell did you do to Felix?
758
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:54,840
You came here to buy
the Second Folio.
759
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:59,080
I regret to inform you
that it is no longer for sale.
760
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,640
I believe our business
here is concluded.
761
00:45:16,240 --> 00:45:17,400
Well...
762
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,040
Buggered that up ain't we?
763
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,360
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
764
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,400
- No?
- No, no, no, I...
765
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,040
I don't drink anymore.
766
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:37,880
You don't drink anymore?
767
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,720
I don't drink any less.
768
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,480
Oh my goodness.
You all right?
769
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:47,480
It got rather heated,
I'm afraid.
770
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:49,360
I thought he was going to strike me.
771
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:51,360
And how's Jack taking it all?
772
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:54,560
Must be a little overwhelming.
773
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:56,880
It's quite the stoic effect.
774
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:00,720
Impressive boy. His father's boy.
775
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:03,640
You will be careful,
won't you?
776
00:46:04,720 --> 00:46:06,320
I'm always careful, Trottie.
777
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:08,160
Not always.
778
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:11,120
Everything all right back there?
779
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:13,920
Yes. Yes. Of course.
780
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:15,200
Bedroom ceiling?
781
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:17,160
Good as new.
782
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:18,480
Trottie?!
783
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:24,840
You be careful too. My love.
784
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:27,440
I'd better go.
785
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:29,280
Walls have ears in this place.
786
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:30,680
I'll speak to you when I can.
787
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:32,320
- Bye Book.
- Bye.
788
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,520
There you go.
I think you deserve this.
789
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:49,160
Thanks.
790
00:46:49,240 --> 00:46:51,400
I know how tough
791
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,080
this must all be for you Book, so...
792
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:56,720
I'm fine. We'll be fine.
793
00:46:58,080 --> 00:46:59,720
Time to regroup.
What are we looking at?
794
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:01,960
Well, motives are plenty.
795
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:06,560
Madame Yamauchi blames Kaufmann
for the death of her husband.
796
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:08,560
And we know there was bad blood
797
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:10,640
between Kaufmann and Duttweiler.
798
00:47:10,720 --> 00:47:12,240
And then he got topped himself.
799
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:15,200
Killed by an overdose
of the same barbiturates
800
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:17,320
that Irma Queisser
uses to get to sleep.
801
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:20,320
And who can say
what our Royal Highness
802
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:21,960
and the yank might be hiding?
803
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,280
Apart from what we already know.
804
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:29,560
- Then there's this.
- Oh, what is it?
805
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:32,280
Finally found something
in the doctors accounts.
806
00:47:32,720 --> 00:47:33,880
Luther was paying
807
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,240
for two patients at the sanatorium.
808
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:37,320
Two?!
809
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:39,480
Jacks father and another one,
810
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:41,760
an earlier patient
whose residency began
811
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:45,480
in 1912 and which ended
just two months ago.
812
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:47,040
Any idea who?
813
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:49,520
No name given, odd though.
814
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:52,760
Luther is the key to all this.
815
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,360
The spider at the centre of the web.
816
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:57,520
I can feel it in my bones.
817
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:00,400
We've got to get him to talk.
818
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:02,960
That'd be a job for you two.
819
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:05,120
We've been chucked out on our ears.
820
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:06,760
- Hmm.
- Hmm.
821
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,880
Well, gentlemen,
here's to a new
822
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,680
and better future, prost.
823
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:15,160
Prost!
824
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,920
White and snowy lies the land.
825
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:28,280
Here comes Saint Nicholas,
staff in hand.
826
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:32,320
Who's that with him?
Face like a fright.
827
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:38,360
Knecht Ruprecht,
Ruprecht, tuck up tight.
828
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,640
Knecht Ruprecht comes
to poke and peer.
829
00:48:45,720 --> 00:48:48,720
At all the little children
who have been bad this year.
830
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:54,840
Too late now to go
to church with coal,
831
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:58,080
then sack, then switch of birch.
832
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:00,800
Ruprecht will be the one to tell,
833
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:05,760
who goes to heaven and who to hell.
834
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:38,960
Luther?
835
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:43,680
Luther, why did you not come to bed?
836
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:47,440
Luther?!
