1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,200
My honoured British guests.
2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,800
Luther is wanting to sell
a second folio Shakespeare.
3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:07,920
Exceptionally rare.
4
00:00:08,040 --> 00:00:09,480
Giving us time to find out...
5
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:10,560
Discreetly...
6
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,840
...what happened to
my father on December 5th, 1936.
7
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:15,480
And I'm afraid
there's been a murder.
8
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:17,320
Ich fürchte,
es hat einen Mord gegeben.
9
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,360
Knecht Ruprecht hits the
children with a bag of ashes,
10
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,360
drowns them, or stuffs them in a sack
11
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:23,720
and carries them to hell.
12
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,920
You turn up here
under false pretenses,
13
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,360
and then he claims
to be my own flesh and blood.
14
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,560
I, I'm your grandson.
I, I'm Felix's son.
15
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,080
A conspiracy that ends
16
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:39,680
with the deaths
of Kaufmann and Duttweiler.
17
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,040
Everything all right back there?
18
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,240
Yes. Yes, of course.
19
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,320
Luther was paying for
two patients at the sanatorium.
20
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,240
What the hell
did you do to Felix?
21
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,400
Luther is the key to all this.
22
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,880
- I'm going to run.
- Run? Where?
23
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,200
To England, to find, him.
24
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,200
- Book?
- Yes.
25
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,360
Then you must go now.
26
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,800
Luther will be wondering
where you are.
27
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,320
- Come with me, Irma.
- What?
28
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:14,840
Come with me. Let's both get away
29
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,160
from this terrible place.
30
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:17,880
You don't need me, Felix.
31
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,080
But this,
this will be of more help.
32
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,920
Good luck, my dear. Hurry now. Hurry.
33
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,200
Luther.
34
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,880
What a night. What a party.
35
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:52,160
Yeah.
36
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,280
BOOK (V.O.): That's it.
That's all she says.
37
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,360
Felix took off.
38
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,240
Irma says she never saw him again.
39
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,680
Next day, he was dead.
40
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,480
So Irma's decided to trust us now,
41
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,240
and she knows who you are.
42
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,680
Uh, there was
a photograph. Felix left it.
43
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:10,480
Are you all right?
44
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,200
Yeah, yeah. I j-I just,
I didn't sleep much. Yeah.
45
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,560
So what happened to Felix then,
46
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:18,680
after Luther followed him?
47
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,240
Well, he must
have followed him, right?
48
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,320
Caught him a- and
49
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,480
then took him back to the sanatorium.
50
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,800
Everything seems to lead back there,
51
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,080
so that's where we need
to head as soon as we c--
52
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,000
It's Luther Von Bode.
53
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:38,800
Clues, developments, new leads?
54
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:40,440
Murdered.
55
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,800
Christ alive, who's next?
56
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,560
Alberta!
57
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,480
Hey, hey.
Y-you don't suppose this, uh,
58
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,280
Knecht Ruprecht thing could,
could actually--
59
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:04,480
I hardly think so.
60
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,880
- Alberta, please.
- There's no kedgeree.
61
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,760
I can't eat this muck.
62
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:12,320
Alberta.
63
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,480
I specifically
asked for kedgeree.
64
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,400
Haven't you told her?
65
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:17,520
Yes, of course he has.
66
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,080
But me starving isn't going
to bring Luther back,
67
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:22,720
is it, Duttweiler?
68
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,840
Oh, no. Of course, he's dead too.
69
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:28,440
Hopeless.
70
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,640
I always said this place
was like a morgue.
71
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:32,720
Now it's come true.
72
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:33,800
We need to get out of here.
73
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,480
- We can't.
- Why the hell not?
74
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,200
Some nut job
is out there picking people off.
75
00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:40,600
Why should we stay here and
wait for one of us to be next?
76
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:41,880
They can't keep us here.
77
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:44,200
You have all heard?
78
00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:47,400
I know. No kedgeree.
79
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,520
No, no, no,
no, no, not you, son.
80
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:06,880
I'm afraid you're
too involved in all this
81
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,400
to be part
of the investigation anymore.
82
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,480
Wait, I'm a suspect?
83
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,080
We have
to consider every possibility.
84
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,080
Long-lost relative
turns up out of the blue.
85
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,760
Within a few hours,
the old man's been stabbed.
86
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:19,200
Come off it.
87
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:20,600
What would I want to do him in?
88
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:22,520
Quite, and we weren't even here
89
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:23,800
when the first murder happened.
90
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,160
Nevertheless.
91
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:30,480
Bear with, Jack.
92
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,720
I'm sure it'll
all come out in the wash.
93
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,520
Killed at approximately
midnight last night.
94
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,440
Death would've been
pretty much instantaneous.
95
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,320
Letter knife in the ribs.
96
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,120
Nasty.
97
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,360
And rather mundane
98
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,560
given what we've become
accustomed to.
99
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,280
No coal, no soot,
no hanging in burlap.
100
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,160
Unless I'm much mistaken,
101
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,360
Knecht Ruprecht doesn't
traditionally skewer his victims
102
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:03,680
with stationery equipment.
103
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,120
No.
104
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:29,760
- Ah!
- What is it?
105
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,320
- Shakespeare folio.
- What, nicked?
106
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,120
Missing, at any rate.
107
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:35,720
Ah. Would you mind?
108
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,400
Die Wahrheit
wird ans Licht kommen.
109
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,280
Die Sonne wird es an den Tag bringen.
110
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:43,600
The truth will come to light.
111
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,400
The sun will reveal it.
112
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:46,640
Motto?
113
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,320
Sounds more like a threat,
don't you think?
114
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:50,560
Sent to him then.
115
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,720
Well we'd better speak
to our suspects again.
116
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,120
Pohl, can you arrange that?
117
00:06:58,280 --> 00:07:00,360
Can't say I'll shed
any tears for him.
118
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,480
"With coal, then sack,
then switch of birch."
119
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,160
Where's the birch, Inspector?
120
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,720
Doesn't fit
the pattern, does it?
121
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,280
It doesn't, fit.
122
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,480
Jack, you picked up
a few things in prison, yes?
123
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,320
- A few tips.
- Tips?
124
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:25,440
You know the sort of thing,
125
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,920
forging signatures,
exchanging tobacco for favours,
126
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,480
- breaking and entering.
- Oh, right.
127
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:33,480
Yeah, what's happened?
128
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,480
The Shakespeare folio is missing.
129
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,320
- What?
- It's
130
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,560
gone from Luther's desk.
131
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,320
I need you to find out where it is.
132
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:42,600
Well it's obvious, isn't it?
133
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,280
- The Duchess.
- We shall see.
134
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,560
We're about to start the questioning.
135
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,200
Everyone will be in
and out all morning.
136
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,800
Righto. Leave it with me.
137
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,640
Oh and er,
keep your wits about you.
138
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,640
Remember, there's a killer out there.
139
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,040
Thanks.
140
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:13,120
Anything else?
141
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,040
Er no, that's fine.
142
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,400
Eh Nora, do you have a minute?
143
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:23,520
Sit down, please.
144
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,680
My uncle doesn't like me to
fraternise with the customers.
145
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,240
I'd hope I was rather
more than a customer.
146
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:30,320
Oh?
147
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:32,320
We're friends, aren't we?
148
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:33,800
Are we?
149
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,000
Sit down. Please.
150
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,080
I'll answer to Yusuf, don't worry.
151
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:47,240
Well?
152
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,000
What's the matter, Nora?
153
00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:52,080
You've been off with me all weekend.
154
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,000
Maybe I don't like the company.
155
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:57,520
What do you mean?
156
00:08:58,720 --> 00:08:59,720
I've seen him.
157
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,080
That fella with the 'tache.
158
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,360
Coming and going. All hours.
159
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:06,400
Colonel Winters.
160
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,480
Oh. A soldier, is he?
161
00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:10,040
Yeah. Looks the type.
162
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:11,880
He's a very good friend.
163
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:13,840
Obviously.
164
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,520
Look Nora.
I'm not going to patronise you.
165
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,400
Tell you that this
is grown up business
166
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,720
that only grownups can understand.
167
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,800
Thought you weren't going
to patronise me?
168
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,040
It's complicated.
169
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,080
You and Mr Book.
170
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:37,200
The shop.
171
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:38,840
It's?
172
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:41,720
well I need it.
173
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:44,440
I need you.
174
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:46,840
Ever since my mum and dad died,
175
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,320
you've been the most important
thing in the world to me.
176
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:56,040
Now Mr Book's away
and you're off with soldier boy.
177
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,680
I don't want things to change.
178
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:05,880
Please don't change.
179
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:45,240
More tea?
180
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:46,320
No, thank you.
181
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,560
Ah, kintsugi.
182
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,560
You are familiar
with the technique.
183
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,760
I was in Japan a little,
before the war.
184
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,400
It's a method
for repairing pottery
185
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,280
using gold-dusted lacquer,
186
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,080
the idea being
not to disguise the breakage
187
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:04,920
but to show it.
188
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:06,080
To celebrate it.
189
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:07,640
Oh. Make do and mend.
190
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,040
Mr Attlee would approve.
191
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaking of um delicate things...
192
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,320
last night,
you were expecting Luther.
193
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,800
You were expecting him in your bed?
194
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,080
Well,
that was hardly a secret.
195
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,280
She set her cap at Luther almost
196
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,080
as soon as her first husband died.
197
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,080
I mean, they tried to be discreet...
198
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,000
We also found
Luther's will in his effects.
199
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,320
Madam Yamauchi
stood to get the castle.
200
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,880
Gosh. So you mean
she could've been miffed
201
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,120
that your young friend Jack
stood to get the lot.
202
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,480
Acted swiftly
and bumped off old Luther?
203
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:50,880
I say, the plot positively
oozes doesn't it?
204
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:55,320
A long lost heir! A vengeful ghost!
205
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,520
Oh it's like something
from a Victorian novel.
206
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,360
Wilkie Collins
would have had a field day.
207
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:05,040
You seem rather to be
enjoying this, your Grace.
208
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:06,920
Oh hell, yes!
209
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,080
I miss the war, don't you?
210
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,240
Nothing exciting enough
about these days.
211
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,200
Where were you
at midnight last night?
212
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,680
In bed, of course.
Like everyone.
213
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,160
My husband can vouch for that.
214
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:25,800
Well I was already asleep
215
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,880
but I was aware of her coming in.
216
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:30,840
She's not exactly quiet.
217
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,000
And what time
did she come to bed?
218
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,560
Eleven. Eleven fifteen.
219
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:37,800
No later than that.
220
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,880
You know, if you ask me, it's Irma
221
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,080
you need to put the thumbscrews on.
222
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:44,720
Because of her father.
223
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,400
He lost everything
in the crash, we know.
224
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:48,920
Oh yeah. But it that was
225
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,600
because of Luther's bad advice.
226
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,800
You didn't
know that, did you, Mr Book?
227
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,240
I didn't want to come back
to this dreadful place.
228
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,400
But beggars can't be choosers.
229
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:05,920
You hated Luther.
230
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,520
God forgive me,
but I'm glad he's dead.
231
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,560
- Because of him, my father...
- Yes.
232
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,640
So why did Luther take you in?
233
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,400
Make you his ward?
234
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,000
I cannot believe it was conscience.
235
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,080
I rather suspect he had designs.
236
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:23,600
Oh, God.
237
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,720
Any woman was fair game to him.
238
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,040
The Master of the Schloss Von Bode.
239
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,400
Where were you
at midnight last night?
240
00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:32,360
Bed. Like everyone.
241
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,680
So you didn't deliver
this in person, then?
242
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:39,640
I left the castle...
243
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,320
must've been elevenish.
244
00:13:44,680 --> 00:13:46,040
Passed Luther's study.
245
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,920
The Duchess appeared
from that direction,
246
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,200
she didn't see me.
247
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,720
I watched her go up the stairs.
248
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,440
Then Luther came and went in.
249
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,640
So he was alive then at least.
250
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:06,720
I knocked on his door.
251
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,000
I popped my head round.
But he wasn't there.
252
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:11,520
Why did you want to see him?
253
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,400
Well. We're old friends.
254
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,120
I thought you said
255
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:18,880
he didn't have any friends?
256
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,160
You will think
me dishonourable, I know.
257
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,480
But as you yourself said,
a widow's life...
258
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,120
we were both so very lonely.
259
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,160
No one here
is judging you, Madam.
260
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:33,920
How long was Luther--
261
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,000
He was
with me till about eleven.
262
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,720
Then he said he had work to do,
263
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:41,400
in the study.
264
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:42,680
He often worked till late...
265
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:46,920
This,
266
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,120
this was Luther.
267
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,400
I accepted his imperfections.
268
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:57,560
He could be cruel.
269
00:14:58,800 --> 00:14:59,840
So cruel.
270
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,480
I had made peace with that.
271
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,040
And now, now he has gone.
272
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,760
But he has provided for me.
273
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,520
You know, word's got round
274
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,680
about exactly what you
were to poor old Felix.
275
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:23,440
Walls have ears.
276
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,240
Well... I do anyway.
277
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,040
It seems to me that,
278
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,240
despite you sitting in that chair
279
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,120
with your copper chums,
280
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,040
we could be asking you
the same questions.
281
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,200
The man who locked
your lover up in the loony bin?
282
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:41,840
And left him to die?
283
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,280
Where were you last night, Mr Book?
284
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,840
Inspector,
I wonder if I could take
285
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,000
Fraülein Pohl to the sanatorium too?
286
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:58,400
My German is a little rusty.
287
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,560
Might as well. Pohl?
288
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:01,760
Yeah, certainly.
289
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,440
She's wasting her time here anyway.
290
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,320
Every bugger can speak
English already.
291
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:08,680
Well?
292
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:10,400
I've looked everywhere.
293
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,480
Wardrobes. Suitcases.
Knicker drawers.
294
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,120
What about the library?
295
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,280
Oh...
296
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,120
That's where I'd hide a book.
297
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,720
I was so sorry
to hear about Dr Kaufmann.
298
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:34,880
Oh indeed.
299
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,080
I gather
he was a very great friend
300
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,000
to the hospital for many years.
301
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,280
I knew him only a little.
302
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,000
I have been here
only for a month or so.
303
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:45,160
Ah.
304
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:49,040
Er, may I please ask you
to wait here for a moment.
305
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,440
This is very irregular.
306
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,280
Your letter from Dr Kaufmann
307
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,400
was most certainly sent from here.
308
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,000
But there is a disparity.
309
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:03,760
The death certificate
310
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,400
matches the one you have.
311
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,760
But yours says
that Felix Von Bode died here
312
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,360
at the Sanatorium.
313
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:10,480
The records however...
314
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:11,600
Yes?
315
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,160
released to family.
316
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,880
And no mention
of him coming back here.
317
00:17:16,360 --> 00:17:17,760
Dead or alive.
318
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,320
Perhaps a simple
319
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:22,800
administrative error or...?
320
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:23,880
Perhaps.
321
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,880
I am also interested
in something else.
322
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,040
According to my information,
323
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:30,640
Luther Von Bode
324
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,840
had been paying board and
lodging here as early as 1912.
325
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,200
That must have
been for another patient.
326
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:38,680
What can you tell me about them?
327
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,840
That would be
absolutely confidential.
328
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,680
Oh we have full authority.
329
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,880
From Inspector Bliss
of the Control Commission.
330
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,400
Yes, a young woman was admitted
331
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:06,080
under Dr Kaufmann
in the Autumn of 1912.
332
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,520
The records
are not as complete
333
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,160
as they might be...
334
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,080
the War, the First one.
335
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,560
The patient
appears to have been with child.
336
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,120
Which is not uncommon.
337
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:19,280
Her name?
338
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,080
Sabine Hoff.
339
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,480
And when was she released?
340
00:18:24,120 --> 00:18:26,040
Never. She died here.
341
00:18:26,120 --> 00:18:28,000
And she died only recently.
342
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:29,680
In October this year.
343
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,000
How sad.
344
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:32,760
And frustrating.
345
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:34,520
Perhaps there's someone
346
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:35,600
who can help you...
347
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:41,000
Ah... Sister Gorgonia
but unfortunately her mind is...
348
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,840
erm... um... please follow me.
349
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,640
I'll have
the fishcakes if I may.
350
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:51,720
Off.
351
00:18:53,120 --> 00:18:57,080
Oh. I'll have the kippers?
352
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:58,200
Off.
353
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,760
- Eh Bacon?
- Off.
354
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,360
What about sausages?
355
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:03,720
Surely you can run to sausages?
356
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,720
Sorry. It's the rationing, ain't it?
357
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,200
Worse than during the War!
358
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:08,560
Well what do you have?
359
00:19:10,120 --> 00:19:11,800
- Eggs.
- All right.
360
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:12,880
Can you run to an omelette?
361
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,000
Course! Powdered.
362
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:16,240
Fine.
363
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:23,920
Charming girl.
364
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,120
I think I'm falling
in love with you, Mrs Book.
365
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,360
You realise that, don't you?
366
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,320
That's your cue.
367
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:43,600
Well, it's complicated.
368
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:44,760
You know, Reggie.
369
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,000
I'm very happy.
370
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:48,640
Are you really?
371
00:19:49,360 --> 00:19:50,560
There's no part of you that feels
372
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,720
that you're settling for second best?
373
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:05,000
No one's got to me
as you have.
374
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,120
I've not
felt like this since?
375
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:11,560
Well, you know?
376
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,040
Angela.
377
00:20:14,120 --> 00:20:15,880
Yeah. Memsahib, yes.
378
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,760
But I know
she'd want me to be happy,
379
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,600
to make a new life for myself.
380
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,440
What I wanna know is,
381
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,360
- Trottie...
- Yes?
382
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,120
Could that new life,
383
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:31,840
be with you?
384
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,320
I have work.
I leave you to it.
385
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:45,560
- Thank you.
- Danke,
386
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:46,920
Schwester Irmingart.
387
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:48,560
Reverend Sister.
388
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,360
I understand you knew a Sabine Hoff?
389
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,440
Ah the wickedness
of the world.
390
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,440
And of men. That poor creature?
391
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:07,560
What can you tell me of her?
392
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,200
All alone in the world.
393
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,040
Apart for one visitor.
394
00:21:20,120 --> 00:21:21,240
A niece, I think.
395
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:24,080
She came here on occasion.
396
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:25,960
- A good child.
397
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:27,440
Can you describe her?
398
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:28,680
:
399
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,680
A slim? pale? red-headed.
400
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,440
A striking young woman.
401
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:44,200
And the child?
402
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:47,480
Das Kind?
403
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,040
The child born out of wedlock.
What became of that?
404
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:00,840
Given up to relatives.
405
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:02,480
As many were.
406
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,720
Ach, die Schlechtigkeit der Welt.
407
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,760
Well, thank you, Sister.
You've been very helpful.
408
00:22:13,360 --> 00:22:14,440
Both of you.
409
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,480
It's really not
the same without you.
410
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,280
Well that's sweet
of you to say.
411
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,560
I wish this damn
connection were better.
412
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,800
You feel like you're,
a million miles away.
413
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,360
Can I be of any help? I'd like to be.
414
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,160
Anything you want
to get off your chest?
415
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:39,440
Three things?
416
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:40,800
Oh more than three?
417
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,000
- Oh good!
- The servant's entrance?
418
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,040
'eau de cologne du coq'?
419
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:46,680
and?
420
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,160
and a child born out of wedlock?
421
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:51,840
'Eau de cologne du coq'?
422
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,200
Yes! The butler
was smothered in it.
423
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:55,440
Good heavens. Was he?
424
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:56,520
He was.
425
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,120
Got to be for a woman, no?
426
00:22:58,200 --> 00:22:59,640
- You think?
- Of course.
427
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,000
Men rarely make the effort
428
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:02,600
unless it's for an affair
of the heart,
429
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,320
in my experience.
430
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:07,520
Thank you, darling.
431
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,240
And what about the child?
432
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:10,400
Born out of wedlock?
433
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:12,280
Do you know who it is?
434
00:23:12,360 --> 00:23:13,360
Yes I think so.
435
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,520
I'm just, struggling to believe
that they were involved?
436
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,560
Well you know, good people?
437
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,800
good people sometimes find themselves
438
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,760
doing things
that they know they shouldn't.
439
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,000
How's Nora? And Dog?
440
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,040
All well, thanks.
441
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,400
Good. Good.
442
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,320
Well, good luck, darling.
443
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:44,520
I'll be thinking of you.
444
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:46,760
Yes.
445
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:49,560
Goodbye, Mrs Book.
446
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:51,760
Goodbye, Mr Book.
447
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,680
Oh, Dog,
what am I going to do?
448
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,280
"The truth will come to light.
449
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,160
The sun will reveal it."
450
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,600
This case began
in the realm of fairytales.
451
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,440
Had Knecht Ruprecht,
helpmate of St. Nicholas,
452
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,600
really come to punish the wicked?
453
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,040
Certainly,
Dr Kaufmann, Duttweiler,
454
00:26:08,120 --> 00:26:10,040
and in particular Luther Von Bode
455
00:26:10,120 --> 00:26:11,600
were very wicked men.
456
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:17,200
But this is 1946
and we are not savages.
457
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,240
There was no supernatural
element behind all this.
458
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,200
Instead,
there was a keen intelligence.
459
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,640
Whose, though?
460
00:26:26,120 --> 00:26:27,920
Luther was offering
for sale a copy
461
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,120
of the Second Folio of Shakespeare.
462
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:31,800
It was locked in his study,
463
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,160
then after his murder, it was gone.
464
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:35,920
Someone made off with it.
465
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:37,520
An extensive search of this castle
466
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,320
has failed to reveal its whereabouts.
467
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,600
Let us consider then
this keen intelligence.
468
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,160
As I said to Mr Blunt here,
if I were hiding a book,
469
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:49,640
I would hide it in a library.
470
00:26:50,120 --> 00:26:51,160
But where?
471
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,320
Where is the Shakespeare Folio?
472
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:56,680
Oh, don't look at me.
473
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:58,520
I've never even read it.
474
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:00,520
Dreary.
475
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,240
I find that very hard to believe.
476
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:03,920
Anyone who knows the nom de guerre
477
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,440
used by Oscar Wilde in Exile,
478
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,880
anyone familiar with the works
of Wilkie Collins,
479
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,200
anyone as much of a literary
connoisseur as you appear to be
480
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,880
would surely know
her way around the Bard.
481
00:27:15,360 --> 00:27:18,120
And you'd never stick
the Folio just any old place,
482
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:19,480
would you, your Grace?
483
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,120
Not when you enjoy the game so much.
484
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,480
The Second Folio is notable
485
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,320
for containing
the first published poem
486
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:28,480
by John Milton.
487
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:30,440
Oh. Really?
488
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,480
"What needs my Shakespeare
489
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,240
for his honoured bones,
490
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,200
The labour of an age
in piled stones?
491
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,280
Or that his hallowed reliques
be hid--
492
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:42,800
Ah.
493
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:51,840
...under a stary pointing pyramid?"
494
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:55,240
Give that to me!
495
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:57,120
It's mine!
496
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,400
'Property of the Royal Collection'.
497
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:03,800
- See!
- Indeed.
498
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,840
So why was Luther
offering it for sale?
499
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:07,400
He had no right to.
500
00:28:08,120 --> 00:28:11,520
I, I let him borrow it for a while.
501
00:28:12,120 --> 00:28:13,160
Donkey's years ago.
502
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,040
But you did visit
him in his study?
503
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,400
- Yes...
- and killed him?
504
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,480
- No!
- That's insane.
505
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,480
I told you, she was in bed
with me from 11:15.
506
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:24,320
Thank you.
507
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,400
I saw her coming from
the direction of Luther's study.
508
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,680
Then I saw him. He was alive.
509
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:30,800
Just so.
510
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,280
The Duchess liberated
the Folio from the study,
511
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,560
but she did not kill Luther.
512
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,720
Thank God you've come to your senses.
513
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,680
Anyway, enough about the folio.
No one cares about that.
514
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,680
Who killed Luther?
515
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:46,680
And the other buggers?
516
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,640
Well, in Dr Kaufmann's records,
517
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,720
I found mention of Luther's payments
518
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,000
for Felix's time in the sanatorium
519
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,200
and something else,
something curious:
520
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,840
entries for another patient.
521
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,560
Luther had someone else
incarcerated in there?
522
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,320
Precisely, someone
who'd been there since 1912,
523
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,600
an unmarried mother, one Sabine Hoff.
524
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,280
Sabine Hoff, maid, dismissed.
525
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,760
She was a parlour maid
here at the castle,
526
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,760
and she was put away because
she was bearing someone's child.
527
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:21,840
Whose?
528
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,600
Luther's, of course.
529
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,240
Not his only victim, I imagine.
530
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,440
Now, I think that child
was told the story
531
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,560
of their unfortunate mother's fate
532
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,560
and swore revenge,
on the doctor who had,
533
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,600
with the stroke of his pen,
incarcerated her,
534
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,440
on the butler, who must
have turned a blind eye
535
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,840
to the crime and on the terrible,
536
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,360
powerful man who had
so brutalized their mother.
537
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,160
And when the mother died,
538
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,520
they made a plan to wreak revenge
539
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:54,000
at Christmas, to invoke
the spirit of Knecht Ruprecht
540
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,920
and punish the wicked,
for real this time.
541
00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:59,360
Yeah, but, but who?
542
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,080
A slight, pale,
striking woman with red hair.
543
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:05,640
- What?
- According
544
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,240
to the elderly nun
who saw her in the sanatorium
545
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:09,640
year after year.
546
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:12,880
No. This is madness. I have nothing--
547
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,480
You passed
Luther's study last night.
548
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,400
- Why?
- To deliver this?
549
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,800
The handwriting
is unquestionably yours.
550
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,160
It matches the note you wrote to me.
551
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:23,360
You had a busy night.
552
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,160
He'd thrown you out, and Jack.
553
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,720
I couldn't bear to see
him being so cruel again.
554
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,560
I just wanted him to know
I had not forgotten
555
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,320
my father's death,
556
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:35,480
nor yours.
557
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,560
A slight, pale,
striking woman with red hair.
558
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,440
That's what the old nun told us.
559
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:43,640
Or at least that was the translation
560
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,880
I was given in, I'm sorry to say,
561
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,600
a slightly panicked and clumsy
attempt to disguise the truth.
562
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,400
Because the description
she actually gave
563
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,680
was of you, Fraülein Pohl.
564
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,320
- Eh?
- What?
565
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,320
My German is not as rusty
as I led you to believe.
566
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,400
I let you come
to the sanatorium
567
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:03,920
because I already suspected
568
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:05,720
that you were something
to do with this.
569
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,800
You knew all
about the servants' entrance
570
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:09,320
at the back of the castle.
571
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,320
I could have read about that.
572
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:13,560
- Anyone could.
- But how could you know
573
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,360
it was never locked?
574
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,760
The parish records
were easy to locate.
575
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,560
I went to the church here in Würl.
576
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,600
Sabine Hoff's sister
married a man called Pohl.
577
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,120
They took you in,
raised you as their own.
578
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,480
And you visited your Aunt Sabine.
579
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,080
For years you visited her.
580
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,600
And then, only on her deathbed,
I imagine...?
581
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:33,440
Yes. She told me.
582
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,160
She was my mother.
583
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:39,880
My poor mother.
584
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,360
How Luther Von Bode
had forced himself upon her
585
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:44,600
all those years ago,
586
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,200
how they put her away to shut her up.
587
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:48,800
Those men.
588
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,920
Those damned men.
589
00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:59,320
Oh, what a mess.
590
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,400
Kaufmann was easy.
591
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,560
I drugged him with some
of his own narcotics.
592
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:17,720
And Duttweiler?
593
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,920
He'd been making
an effort, hadn't he?
594
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:22,800
Eau de cologne du coq.
595
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:24,720
That was a slip.
596
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,240
How would you know the brand?
I never mentioned it.
597
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,640
No one paid
that brute much attention.
598
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,240
He was easily flattered
599
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,040
and easily drugged.
600
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:37,840
I sent him a note,
601
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,280
arranged to meet him by the stables
602
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,840
to discuss our future.
603
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:58,680
Seemed like a fitting end.
604
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:07,640
And then
you turned your attention
605
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,200
to the ultimate prize:
606
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:13,040
the man who forced himself on
your mother all those years ago.
607
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,600
I had such elaborate plans.
608
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,440
The final part
of the Knecht Ruprecht scheme,
609
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,600
a wooden switch
rammed down his gullet.
610
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,600
But instead, you stabbed
him with a letter knife.
611
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:25,800
What happened?
612
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:29,600
He fought back.
613
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:31,520
Is that all?
614
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:33,960
Yes.
615
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,840
Things don't always
go according to plan, Herr Book.
616
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,920
The old devil fought back.
He was stronger than he looked.
617
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:42,920
Are you sure?
618
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:46,440
Luther is dead.
619
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:48,800
All the guilty men are dead.
620
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,000
Knecht Ruprecht
has punished the wicked.
621
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,400
Justice has been served.
622
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,120
That's all that matters, isn't it?
623
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,320
Inspector,
can I have a minute with her?
624
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,760
- What? With Pohl?
- Yeah.
625
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:11,840
I just realized that she's...
626
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:13,480
well we're related, ain't we?
627
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:15,400
She's the only family I've got left.
628
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:16,600
Oh. Yes.
I suppose you're right.
629
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,480
I just wanna, I dunno,
just say something to her.
630
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,840
All right, son.
Just five minutes.
631
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,120
Er? ich kann
fünf Minuten haben
632
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:26,240
mit der Frau?
633
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:28,520
Thanks.
634
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:31,680
Picked up a bit, didn't I?
635
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,480
Well! What a turn up.
636
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,120
I suppose
we're all free to leave
637
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:39,640
this benighted place now, aren't we?
638
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,200
Quite free, your Grace.
639
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,000
Oh, oh sorry,
there is just one thing.
640
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,120
Ah, bit of admin, as it were.
641
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,560
If you did borrow
the Shakespeare folio
642
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,160
- from the Royal Collection?
- I did.
643
00:34:50,240 --> 00:34:51,800
Then we just need
your signature
644
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:53,240
to show it was all above board.
645
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:54,840
To establish provenance.
646
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:56,400
I'm sure you understand.
647
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:05,080
- Pen.
- Oh,
648
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:06,840
here, your Grace.
649
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,000
[chuckles] Oh? Silly me.
650
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,200
Yes. Well that all
seems very satisfactory.
651
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:30,200
Come along, Guy.
652
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,080
I've had enough
of this bloody country.
653
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,520
Oh, can anyone
rustle us up a cup of coffee?
654
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:38,160
No?
655
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:40,640
No staff, I suppose.
656
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:43,080
All dead.
657
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,800
"I, Alberta,
Duchess of Somerset,
658
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:51,040
freely confess that I stole
the second folio of Shakespeare
659
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:52,400
from the Royal Collection."
660
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,040
- What the hell?
- "Furthermore, I confess
661
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,800
to diverse other instances of theft
662
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:59,680
from the Royal Household, to wit?"
663
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:01,160
What is this?
664
00:36:01,240 --> 00:36:03,640
Oh, just a simple substitution,
665
00:36:03,720 --> 00:36:04,880
I'm afraid, Your Grace.
666
00:36:05,240 --> 00:36:06,800
Terribly underhand
of me, I know,
667
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:08,320
but all terribly legal.
668
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,160
Terribly compelling, too.
669
00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:11,840
You see,
the British authorities
670
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,880
wish it to be known
that there is only so much
671
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,200
to which they are prepared
to turn a blind eye.
672
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,560
And now,
as the Americans are one to say,
673
00:36:18,720 --> 00:36:20,320
they have got the goods on you.
674
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,400
You impertinent little man.
675
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,240
I'm six foot one in my stocking feet.
676
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,080
And I enjoy the game too.
677
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,800
I think we should return that
to its proper owner, don't you?
678
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:35,360
What was that?
679
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,400
I think perhaps Madam Yamauchi
680
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,520
just discovered
that all she's inherited
681
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,000
is a pile of debt.
682
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:42,720
Catch.
683
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:44,920
Thank you.
684
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:47,520
And I'd keep my head down
from now on, your Grace,
685
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:48,760
if I were you.
686
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:50,520
Me? Why should I?
687
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,520
It's all been heaps of fun, actually.
688
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,080
And I was just feeling
a little bit glum
689
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,840
because I've nobody to crow to
about quite how clever I am.
690
00:36:59,920 --> 00:37:01,040
Not even your husband?
691
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,000
Oh, Christ, no.
692
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,080
You don't think I'd trust Guy
with all this, do you?
693
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:06,480
He doesn't even know that
694
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,360
to maintain our lavish lifestyle,
695
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,120
our fairly lavish lifestyle,
696
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,920
I've been flogging stuff
all over the place.
697
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:19,280
It's the perfect cover, you see.
A life of pleasure and parties.
698
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,680
We flit around the globe--
699
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,080
Like locusts.
700
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:24,760
Lotus eaters, my dear.
701
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:26,720
Lotus eaters.
702
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,240
Cases are in the car.
703
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:30,680
What? What's happened?
704
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:31,840
You know, darling,
705
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,480
I don't think I'm in the mood
for coffee after all.
706
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,400
I think I'm going to order champagne.
707
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,200
Off with their bloody heads.
708
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:42,760
Quite.
709
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:00,840
Penny for them?
710
00:38:02,720 --> 00:38:03,920
I was just thinking?
711
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,240
all the guilty men are dead,
712
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,120
or at least Liesl Pohl said,
713
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:10,720
and she's right.
714
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,160
We'll never know
what actually happened to Felix.
715
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,800
Maybe we do know, Mr Book.
716
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:22,240
What do you mean?
717
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,800
Liesl Pohl knows what happened.
718
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:26,680
- She told me.
- What?
719
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,080
You know
when I asked the Inspector
720
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:30,320
for a moment with her?
721
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,240
She told me the whole bloody thing.
722
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,360
Going somewhere,
Master Felix?
723
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,680
Very neat, my son.
724
00:39:05,240 --> 00:39:07,520
But you must know that your father
725
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,880
will always be one step ahead of you.
726
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,600
Now, come back inside.
727
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:14,800
No.
728
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,240
Come back inside.
729
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:18,680
Why?
730
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:20,800
So you can pretend that all is well?
731
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,640
Or so you can send me
back to that terrible place to,
732
00:39:23,720 --> 00:39:24,760
to cure me?
733
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,280
I would rather die.
734
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,480
Duttweiler. Fetch him.
735
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,640
Liesl Pohl told you this?
736
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,600
- How could she possibly know?
- Her mother.
737
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,000
She heard the whole story.
738
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,640
Duttweiler arrived
at the sanatorium,
739
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:58,240
with Felix's body.
740
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:03,560
Come, Master Felix.
741
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:04,880
Be a good boy.
742
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,200
The time for games is over.
743
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:13,560
You must come back.
744
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,240
I told you already,
I would rather die.
745
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:20,160
So be it.
746
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:22,800
Duttweiler.
747
00:40:40,240 --> 00:40:41,240
Help!
748
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:07,440
Duttweiler fished him out,
749
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,280
took him back to the sanatorium
750
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:16,480
and they agreed to tell everyone
that he died there,
751
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:18,640
to hush it up.
752
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:23,640
I see.
753
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:28,920
So now we do know, Mr Book.
754
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:30,560
Yes.
755
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:35,520
Now we know.
756
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:39,800
Thank you, Jack.
757
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:42,920
Would you excuse me?
758
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:44,600
I just need a moment.
759
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:49,000
Yeah. Yeah, of course.
760
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,120
"He is not here, but far away.
761
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,560
The noise of life begins again.
762
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:13,640
Henceforth, wherever thou mayst roam,
763
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,400
my blessing, like a line of light?"
764
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:21,720
"Is on the waters day
and night,
765
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,600
and like a beacon guards thee home."
766
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:10,920
Shop?
767
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:12,120
How queer.
768
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,400
Where is everybody?
It's not a half day closing.
769
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:17,920
Oh well.
770
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:19,920
Tea?
771
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:22,280
Thought you'd never ask.
772
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:27,640
Thanks.
773
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:29,280
Oh.
774
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:32,200
That's good to be home.
775
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:34,320
Yes.
776
00:43:37,240 --> 00:43:38,240
What is it?
777
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:42,720
It's no good.
778
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,480
It doesn't add up, does it, Jack?
779
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:48,920
What do you mean?
780
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:53,200
Felix's body was never
sent back to the sanatorium,
781
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:55,520
so Liesl's mother
782
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,240
couldn't have overheard
the account of his death,
783
00:43:58,760 --> 00:43:59,880
could she?
784
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:04,760
How long have you known?
785
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,440
Since I found your footprints
outside the castle.
786
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,400
Those wretched
hobnail boots of yours.
787
00:44:13,240 --> 00:44:15,040
There'd been a fresh fall of snow.
788
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,080
You went back there in secret.
789
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:20,640
Then there was that little slip.
790
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:23,080
What happened to Felix then,
791
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:25,280
after Luther followed him?
792
00:44:28,240 --> 00:44:30,520
Irma's account
ended at the door,
793
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:33,120
but you knew that Luther
had followed Felix.
794
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,160
And you could only have known that
795
00:44:35,240 --> 00:44:36,680
if someone else had told you.
796
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:40,480
And it wasn't Liesl Pohl,
797
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:43,000
was it, Jack?
798
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,280
I didn't mean to do it.
799
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:52,400
As God as my witness,
800
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,120
I had to speak to him again,
801
00:44:57,760 --> 00:44:58,920
get some answers,
802
00:44:59,920 --> 00:45:01,800
find out what happened to my dad.
803
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:05,600
So I went back to the castle.
804
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,560
I got in through
the servant's entrance
805
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:14,640
and there he was,
806
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:18,120
in his study as you know.
807
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:20,400
I do not care about the documents.
808
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,040
I no longer even care
if you are my grandson.
809
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:24,280
- What?
- That you are
810
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,480
an associate, a friend,
811
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:30,160
an intimate
of that unnatural creature,
812
00:45:30,240 --> 00:45:31,760
Book, that is enough.
813
00:45:32,240 --> 00:45:34,880
Oh yeah, I know who he is.
814
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,200
That is why I threw you
out of my home.
815
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:38,480
But there is more to this.
816
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,080
Within twenty-four hours
of your arrival,
817
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:43,760
both Kaufmann
and Duttweiler are dead.
818
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:45,240
Is that mere coincidence?
819
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:46,320
I think not.
820
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,920
You have cast yourself
in the role of Knecht Ruprecht,
821
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:51,560
punisher of the wicked.
822
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:55,360
Ah, you laugh, boy,
but you know it is true.
823
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:57,440
I just want to know what
happened that night,
824
00:45:57,840 --> 00:45:58,840
to Felix.
825
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:00,880
Just put me out of my misery.
826
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,080
Tell me what happened to my dad.
827
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:05,520
Put you out of your misery?
828
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:09,200
He told me.
829
00:46:11,240 --> 00:46:12,560
He told me the whole story.
830
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:18,680
That is what I did.
831
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:21,480
What I did to your father.
832
00:46:22,240 --> 00:46:25,400
I put him out of everyone's misery,
833
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:27,640
like a diseased animal.
834
00:46:27,720 --> 00:46:28,720
How could you?
835
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:30,600
How could you?
836
00:46:31,240 --> 00:46:32,400
Keep back.
837
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:34,560
You monster.
838
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,600
- You sick, sick?
- Get back!
839
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,040
You think I'm afraid of you, boy?
840
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:43,600
I am a Von Bode.
841
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,400
Hear me? A Von Bode!
842
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,040
You stupid nutter?
843
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,400
I can't remember
what happened after that.
844
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:03,520
Not properly.
845
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:05,440
I know that I remembered
846
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,320
to clean the handle
of the knife, at least.
847
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,440
I wanted to tell you, Mr Book,
848
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:14,760
what I'd done,
849
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:18,560
but I was scared.
850
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:22,080
You spend your life solving crimes,
851
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:23,920
uncovering murderers.
852
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:27,080
What if you turned me in?
853
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,440
You put me in
an impossible situation, Jack.
854
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:35,520
I know.
855
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:39,000
I know.
856
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:42,160
You don't make exceptions.
857
00:47:45,720 --> 00:47:50,040
I never meant
to kill him, Mr Book.
858
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:05,920
It'll be manslaughter,
won't it?
859
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,000
Self-defence if I'm lucky.
860
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:15,840
You'll write me a character
reference though,
861
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:16,960
won't you at least?
862
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:20,760
No. Jack, wait.
Let's talk about this.
863
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:23,640
No. No, Mr Book.
864
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:26,800
The law must take its course.
865
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:36,760
You're not obliged
to say anything
866
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:38,320
unless you wish to do so,
867
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:40,480
but anything you do say
will be taken down in writing
868
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:42,000
and may be given in evidence.
869
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:31,840
Don't be long, ducky.
There's a car waiting.
870
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:35,480
What the hell is going on?
871
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,080
There are always opportunities
872
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:39,600
for resourceful young men
873
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:41,560
keen to serve king and country,
874
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:45,400
and it seems to me that you're
very resourceful.
875
00:49:45,720 --> 00:49:49,120
A blunt instrument, if you like.
876
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:38,320
Well, well, smart as paint.
877
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:40,040
Savile Row?
878
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:41,320
Whitehall, I reckon.
879
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:43,760
Clever boy.
880
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:45,640
I'm right, ain't I?
881
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:53,880
- This scheme is?
- Too good to resist.
882
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,200
New suit, new shoes, new identity.
883
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:00,760
Really, we're spoiling you.
884
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:02,760
And I'd be mad not to take it.
885
00:51:03,240 --> 00:51:04,240
But?
886
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:08,080
It just don't sit
right with me, Mr Book.
887
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:11,400
How can I accept it?
888
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:14,200
How can I just go
889
00:51:16,240 --> 00:51:18,000
when you know what you know?
890
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:23,760
"The quality
of mercy is not strained.
891
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,800
It droppeth as the gentle
rain from heaven
892
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:30,480
upon the place beneath.
893
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:33,480
It is twice blessed.
894
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,000
It blesseth him that gives
895
00:51:37,720 --> 00:51:39,200
and him that takes."
896
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:42,240
For the sake of everything
that's gone before,
897
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:45,320
do this for me, Jack.
898
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:48,320
Please.
899
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:50,320
- But won't it--
- Put me deeply
900
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:52,080
and irrevocably in their debt?
901
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:53,160
Yes, I'm afraid so.
902
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:57,480
I always wondered, you know,
903
00:51:57,720 --> 00:52:00,720
what it would be like
to have a child.
904
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:03,640
A son.
905
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:06,600
And you?
906
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:09,240
And you've been?
907
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:13,360
- I mean, you've been?
- Pig-headed, impossible,
908
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:15,480
contrary, egregious.
909
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:16,840
What have you done?
910
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:19,160
- Swallowed a dictionary.
- At birth.
911
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:24,480
I wouldn't have had it any other way.
912
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:27,280
Nor me.
913
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:31,320
Okay.
914
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:37,160
It's a deal.
915
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:43,640
What larks, eh, Pip?
916
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:45,760
No, Mr Book.
917
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:48,200
That ain't my name.
918
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:51,640
It's Jack.
919
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:55,000
Just Jack.
920
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:07,080
You know where to find me.
921
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:10,080
Yeah.
922
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,280
158 Archangel Lane.
923
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:18,200
With your books.
924
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:21,320
Nora,
925
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:23,040
Dog,
926
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:25,600
and Trottie.
927
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:45,360
Well?
928
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:49,640
It's all going according to plan.
