But until I get the results of the tests... 554 01:07:50,640 --> 01:07:54,240 -He died between 2 and 5 this morning. - Is there anything else? 555 01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:59,120 He didn't take care of himself, but that's how addicts are. 556 01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:04,360 He was even a psychiatrist. "Doctor, heal thyself". 557 01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:14,080 In his office it was unlikely difficult to obtain morphine. 558 01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:19,200 But he didn't seem like it an addict. What do you mean? 559 01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:21,560 Morse! 560 01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:29,920 When did you last sleep?

They are not worth many sour herrings right now. 563 01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:55,280 I pour tea over. Or how about some cognac? 564 01:08:56,400 --> 01:08:58,640 We say cognac. 565 01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:05,200 - Are you home in the middle of the afternoon? - I have Morse with me. 566 01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:09,000 He seemed nice, very polite.

Can you heat some food? 569 01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:23,840 You can believe that. 570 01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:29,920 It's better with stout than cognac. Something with a little iron in it. Up there. 571 01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:42,320 Be safe. 572 01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:49,640 -Ronnie. -Ronnie Gidderton?

It was Mason Gull and his mother. 588 01:11:57,640 --> 01:12:04,120 An American general was accommodated. Just before D-Day. 589 01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:08,400 The general clearly thought so good about Mrs. Gull. 590 01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:12,240 That triggered it all. 591 01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:17,960 Sid and his photographer went these pictures- 592 01:12:18,040 --> 01:12:21,400 -before the military police chased them out. 593 01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:28,600 There was a message from the highest place that the story should be downplayed. 594 01:12:29,480 --> 01:12:33,480 D-Day was approaching. Every word could cost lives. 595 01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:38,840 If his name was Gull, why knew Dr. Cronyn saw him as Keith Miller? 596 01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:43,520 Maybe they gave him a new name and forgot all about the matter. 597 01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:47,280 Sid never heard of, that he had been forcibly hospitalized. 598 01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:51,320 No lawsuit either.
