Good Morning,what can we do for you?

Five guineas?

Ten guineas,not a penny less

And expenses too?

I thought I did that rather well?

Ten guineas is wonderful,darling

The day we are washing out,of course

Atlantic Air,who?

The name of Oliver

Say,you're only the seventh guy
that rung me in the last hour

We can't take any more reservations
for England for a month

Can't you hear? I said a month

Listen you pock faced rat

I want a reservation on the next
plane that leaves the ground

Now,see here I don't take
that line at all anybody

What did you say?

-Lou Gatsman?
-Yeah,Gatsman

I'm a great pal of Lou, we're just buddies

You ought to see us together

When I take a dislike to a guy

I can't kind of somehow I
won,Lou takes a dislike to him too

When Lou takes a dislike to a guy,
something must be happening to him

Sure,Mr Oliver,sure,I'll fix it for you

You have the seat on the
plane leaving on Monday

Yes,Sir,you'll find everything in
order,thanks a lot,good bye

Excuse me

Excuse me,do you have
a telephone directory?

Telephone directory? Yes,Sir

-Which one?
-Which one?

Do you have them with mint flavour

What letter does the name begin with,Sir?

C for Carling

Richard

Richard Carling,telephone number

I don't want the telephone
number I want the address

The address is

Of course I expect and I hope our
acquaintance would be extended

On such broad hospitality as
I can offer is waiting.Tonight

As you said,who knows

Up to know you seemed to have
existed mainly in telephone conversation

Half an hour? Good

I 'll be waiting

No not goodbye,au revoir

It's you at last Kurton come in,
I expected you at 10 it is now past 11

I was late leaving Leicester

I'm afraid I can only
give you a few moments

You see I expect someone for supper

If I hadn't seen you tonight otherwise
the whole thing would have fallen through

Did you get the agreement?

Yes, and I must be back in Leicester
by 12 tomorrow or the deal is off

You told me on the telephone
you had trouble at the meeting

Yes, at one time I thought
it would all break down

one of them suddenly became very difficult

-Why?
-I don't know

He was quite friendly at first

it was when I mentioned your name
as my partner,he changed completely

What was his name?

-Bennett
-Bennett?

Doctor Bennett

Oh,yes,Doctor Bennett, I remember,
he used to run an asylum in London

No,don't be alarmed,I wasn't a patient

What did he say?

Don't hesitate

That wasn't very pleasant,you've been in
connection with a man named Hewson

Hewson?

Oh yes,Hewson unfortunate
fellow I took some interest in

Psychiatrist said..

Yeah,he was a builder who
did some work for me here

He had some sort of a breakdown

Had you took him to Bennett?

Yes,poor fellow he was quite incurable

Apparently he was not

What do you mean?

-He's out
-Out

So at least Dr Bennett told me

Said you might be interested to know

Well,let's get back to business

Did he say where Hewson was?

No

Aren't you going to read it through?

Good heavens no,I employ a solicitor
to do that sort of thing

But there isn't time

Oh,yes there is,I've arranged it after
you telephoned from Leicester

He'll see you tonight in his private
house as a special favour

Look here I've driven a long
way and I'm dead tired

No need,Finchley, 143 Selby
Road Horobin is the name

I shall have to start back to
Leicester at 9 in the morning

That's all right,you can
be here half past eight

with the note from the Horobin
OK the agreement and I sign it

-As a matter of fact
-Then you can get away

I'm hoping you could
put me up tonight

There is one or two bits of
business we ought to talk over

and my wife is not expecting me

I'm afraid I shan't have
time for business tonight

If you are so tired why don't
you stay at the Turkish bath

that would fresh you up for
your drive to Leicester tomorrow

-There is one other thing
-What is it?

I got to find 500 £ right away

I wondered if you would advance me on
account of my share in the Leicester deal?

My dear partner there nothing is,to
finance you since we ever met

You've done pretty well out of it all

So have you,when we first met
you were shabby and down-at-heel

You don't need to remind me of that

It amuses me to think of it

So you won't help me?

Why should I be expected to
pay for your extravagance

Or is it your wife's?

We'll leave my wife out of
this if you don't mind

As you wish

I'll go to your lawyer and
be back in the morning

Hello,hello is it you Horobin?
Carling speaking

Kurton is on his way to you now,
well you know what you got to do

No,he must bring back a note from you
advising me not to sign the agreement

I quite understand,I'll be
waiting up for him

All right,Mr Carling I'll give
Kurton the note you required

-Good,now listen, Hewson is out
-I know Hewson is out

Dr Bennett is with me now,
he just arrived from Leicester

You'd better have a
word with him yourself

Hello,Carling,I'm afraid Hewson is out

I couldn't keep him in any longer
because he is not certifiable any longer

It's no good blaming me

Even a private asylum has
its responsibilities

I was compelled,don't you
understand? Compelled

Certified that he was cured and sane
enough to be at large,I had no options

Don't talk to me like that,Carling

I took a hell of a risk in keeping
him in for so long

I hand you back to Horobin

I am sure Dr Bennett did his best

he is as anxious about Hewson
being at large as you are

Well,he's got to be found

I don't care whether you have to employ
every private detective in London

Do be reasonable,Mr Carling,

you know quite well none of us
dare not employ any kind of detective

I am telling you,Horobin,
he's got to be found

Good Night

You'd better go back first
thing in the morning

Kurton is on his way here and it wouldn't
do for you to meet him here in my house

Very nice house you have here

You do yourself well

Say,look at that,supper already

I couldn't have timed it better,could I?

Oh,very good

Real swell set up

And you knew me right away,Mr Carling

-The name is Carling?
-Yes

Christian name?

Richard

Excellent choice

So much depends on a name

Especially if it isn't your own

And you recognized me at once

You haven't altered much

Pity I can't return the compliment,you have

You know,this house isn't easy to find

I came around earlier but
there was no answer

I wasn't in then my housekeeper is away,ill

That accounts for it

I thought of writing and letting
you know I was coming

but I'd thought you'd enjoy the surprise

-It is a surprise but
-But what?

I'm afraid I haven't got much
time I expect someone

Another visitor?

Champagne,must be a swell dish

She is on the telephone?

Why?

I just thought you liked to give her a ring

and tell her an old friend had
turned up unexpectedly?

I shall do nothing of the kind

Please yourself,I was only thinking of her

and with regard that drink you were on
a point of offering me I'll take a scotch

And don't drown it

Cigarette?

What brings you here?

You

Mind if I sit down?

Yes you my dear Mr Carling,
I had no other reason for coming

And if it hadn't been for
seeing a picture in a magazine

of some people in a restaurant

I wouldn't even have known my
old friend was in London

And although my old buddy was
fair head and wore a moustache

Mr Carling in the picture was
dark and clean shaven

I recognized him all right

There is nothing in that pocket,Richard

I don't carry a gun in England

And now you are here?

Now that I am here

I'll have another drink

Stop beating about the bush

Sure why not?

What are you going to do?

I am not sure

Maybe I kill you

Don't be absurd

Is it absurd?

Now,listen Oliver,let's be sensible

I admit you've got some
cause for complaint

Cause for complaint? Go on

I don't see any reason why we
shouldn't come to an agreement

Do you mean money?

-What else?
-Sure

Money is important

Now,if you come tomorrow morning

I'm sure we'll fix something,I admit
I owe you some compensation

How much do reckon it will cost for
all those years in jail you framed me for?

Girl died waiting for me

Those others who committed
suicide because of you

Did you so enjoy watching people suffer?

Surrounding yourself with nerve-racked,
soul sicken,humiliated creatures

was your idea of fun,wasn't it?

Why do you worry over them?

I happen to be one of them,that's all

You reckon you have enough
money to cover that?

Tell me what you want

I want another drink

I wonder what would happen if London
discovered how Mr Carling really is

Or was

And I wonder what the lady friend
you're waiting for would say

if she knew something else I know about you

But you're in such financial mess

I have more money in my pocket right
now than you have in the whole world

Put that down

Do you ever heard of a poem
called Dante's Inferno?

What do you mean?

It's all about the different kinds of hell

And in the lowest region,the gentlemen
who keep the Devil company are traitors

And it worries you

I'd think it's a swell bit
of culture myself

Base may be a bit heavy,
corners little sharp

compensation,reasonable compensation
for broken hearts and broken lives

You are willing to pay

You'll pay all right

Vera

Vera

Cranleigh Mansions quickly

Hello,yes,who ,you don't say so

Who?Second,steady,steady,Garrat stores

Hello,I've made the tea,darling,sorry
I was talking to my husband

Yes,this is Mrs Millington

The account?

How is it? Oh,it hasn't been paid?

Oh dear,that's my husband,you know how
these authors are they will forget things

Yes,well we have to see what
we can do about it,won't we?

Look,would you give me
sales department please

What are you going to do?

-You wait and see
-They won't send anything

Do you like that?

Darling when you go up you realize
when you got an account you can't pay

best you want something else

Thank you this Mrs William Millington
of Cranleigh Avenue Mansions

I would like you to send me a
round of bottle of whiskey

Go open the door

And a bottle of gin as soon as possible

And just charge them to the
account,would you?

Yes,I'll hold on

Vera

Hello,Bill,has my husband phoned?

No

Oh

Well in that case

I'm afraid I should have to talk
to the Chairman of the Company

Yes of course I do he
happens to be my uncle

No,I didn't want you to know

I wouldn't like you to think I
expected preferential treatment

That's quite all right
we'll say no more about it

you'll send them around at once,won't you?

Thank you very much

Good Bye

I say who is the Chairman?

I haven't the least idea

Well,Vera so early

Has Jack telephoned?

No

Thank goodness

Why should he?

If he does,I want you to tell him
I've been staying the night here

What?

You must say I got nervous
alone in the flat

last night and I came round to you

No one here to know I didn't

Lucky you can't afford a maid

Yes,exactly,luv

Well

Jack went to Leicester yesterday he wasn't
expected until tomorrow afternoon

Oh I see

And I got to the flat this morning
I found his car outside

I couldn't go in,he obviously found the
place empty and the bed not slept in

Oh dear must be very awkward

I came straight here

The only thing I could think of

It's quite likely he'd guess I came to you,
I did once before when he was away

Yes

What have you been doing?

That doesn't matter

How you brought the case I see,
have you got your night things in it?

-Yes
-I see

I thought I better listen so
we all can tell the same lie

You are going to help me out,aren't you?

Yes,Vera,we'll help,we always help

Thank you,dear

You are quite sure Jack was at the flat

I suppose so,he must be,
I saw his car outside

Yes,he must be,where else could he be?

There must be something wrong
we are ringing for half an hour

No servants?

They are not living in,there is
a house keeper she is away ill

I don't like it

I got to get in somehow

You're responsibilities eh?

If I can get the front door
open,will you come in?

Yes,if I was asked in

All right,will you wait here

I broke the window at the back ,
put on the lights,come on

This is the dining room

This is Carling

Oh my Go..

Take it easy,Sir

Don't touch anything

-Nothing moved?
-No,Sir

Let's get this clear,Mr Kurton

You've identified the body
as that as of your partner

-In spite of the injuries to the face?
-Yes

-You are quite sure?
-Yes,quite

Now,you left here quarter past eleven

and went straight to Horobin
in Finchley,is that right?

Yes,that's right

Go on

I was very annoyed the way he treated me

starting finding quite unimportant
faults with the agreement

and said he would advice
Carling not to sign it

We had a bit of row and I walked out

What time was that?

Just after quarter past twelve

And then?

I was expecting Carling to
put me up for the night

he brushed me off to Turkish Bath

So you went straight to the Turkish Bath
from the lawyers place in Finchley?

Did you seek the Turkish bath?

Yes,I had some engine troubles in
Finchley road that held me up half an hour

I got there just after one o'clock

But surely all this isn't necessary

Nothing personally about it

Just checking the movements of
everyone concerned

What time did you leave the Turkish Bath?

Just before nine

I went to my flat for a few minutes before
coming here to have it out with Carling

And no doubt

Mrs Kurton will be able to confirm the time
you got back this morning if we asked her

-As a matter of fact I'm afraid she can't
-Really,why not?

Apparently she wasn't at home last night

That must have been a bit of shock for you

And as you said

Mrs Kurton was not expecting you
back from Leicester for another day?

Look,here Inspector,I have nothing
about this suggestion

Oh,no please don't mistake,Mr Kurton,I'm
sure there is a perfectly good explanation

Did you get any steps to find
out where she was?

No,I was in a hurry to get here

Of course why didn't I think about it?

She'd probably went
around to the Millingtons

she did once before when I was away

The Millingtons?

Yes,they are friends of ours

They are on the telephone?

Yes,Chelsea 4358

-Got your finger prints?
-Yeah

-43 eh
-58

5 8

Known them long?

The Millingtons? Quite sometime

Here you are ringing

-Hello is that you Steffy?
-Yes,it is

It's your husband

Yes,who is that? Jack,I'm so sorry

I didn't recognize your voice at first

Yes,of course,she is here,
she's been here all night

She is still dressing I think

Of course,I call her

Vera,Vera

She is just coming back

Your husband,darling,
pleasant surprise for you

Darling,you're back,how lovely
wonderful surprise

Yes,it was stupid of me I know but
I was never sure alone

I had a horrid sort of feeling
something might happen

Yes,that's marvellous,I'll wait
for you,good bye ,precious

-He's coming around
-So am I

Of all exhibitions of lying
I've never seen..

Don't be silly,darling

You ain't seen nothing yet,you
go and do some more thinking

Vera,there we are

-I was nervous remember
-Yes I know,dear,you still are

For heaven's sake try to look that
you did stay here,take your hat off

Have you got Mr Kurton's
address and telephone number?

Yes,Sir

-I thank you so much being so helpful
-Not at all

BTW could you make anything of that?

No I'm afraid I can't

Do you always have that
little stammer?

-Only when I'm..
-Nervous?

No,tired

-Good Bye
-Good Bye

-For the present
-Oh yes,of course

That seems all right

Yes,but what I don't like about
it,I wish it seemed go all wrong

Look at that Solicitor Horobin

Horobin?

Yes Mr Horobin speaking

Who?

Inspector Mallory

What?

Mr Carling

I take it you were his solicitor,Mr Horobin

Mr Kurton told us that he saw you
last night about an agreement

Yes,that's quite true

Mr Kurton arrived here
about 11 30 last night

And stayed till about three quarters
of an hour discussing an agreement

He was very annoyed because I told
him I couldn't advise Mr Carling to sign it

Certainly,Inspector,you can be assured
that I'll help the police all I can

But Mr Kurton isn't a client of mine

I see

Thank you very much Mr Horobin

Yes,sound little crooked to me but
I believe he was speaking the truth

If I was him I would be more
interested in Mrs Kurton

Carling

Murder

I know what you are thinking

But that's impossible

Anyway it solved the problem for us

We don't have to search for Hewson

What was really behind Carling's
treatment of Hewson?

I never found out

I only knew it was something to do
about Carling forcing Hewson

to build a secret chamber
in Carling's house

Hewson apparently rebelled
but Carling forced him to do it

What do you think Carling did to him?

Well,I rather gathered that
Carling himself attempted

to brick him up alive in the secret chamber

in his moments of comparative
sanity he was always muttering

something about brick on brick or
his brain being in a cloud

Is it your opinion that he
is not entirely mad?

He is certainly not mad enough
to be kept under restraint

I tell you can't go inside,
you can't see anybody

What's all this about?

He says he wants to see
Mr Carling,Sir,and I told him he can't

-What's your name?
-Hewson

Seems a bit eh,you know,Sir

What do you want to see Mr Carling for?

It's about some papers,yes some
papers,yes,that's right

When did you last see Mr Carling?

-I couldn't say that
-Why not?

It was such a long time ago,
a very long time ago,a very long time

-Years ago?
-Yes,years ago

If I could only can see him again

Well you can't see Mr Carling now

-Keep an eye on him
-Very good,Sir

Yes but he owes me some money,
I lost some papers

You listen carefully,clear off
home,go home,take my advice

I owe you to get us out
a mess sooner or later

It's perfectly all right if you back me up

Yes if we can make your husband believe
you spend a night here and you didn't

You needn't make it sound so awful

Darling,there is only like
that for a few thousands years

For heavens sake don't lecture me

Is Jack the only one we
have to lie to? Or is it anybody else

Of course not, what do you mean?

You won't let us down?

I let you down?

I mean if you go through with
this you will stick to your story?

Yes,of course

-Steffy
-Yes,oh dear

This Vera business has given me a
wizard idea for the end of a short story

All I want now is the beginning
and the middle

Darling,that cupboards full of them,
I arranged them only the other day

Middles in one pile beginnings in
another which is a nice one too

Jack Kurton

-Mr Millington
-Yes

Here it is,Garret's Store

A note for Mrs Millington

-Oh,I'll take it,Good Day to you
-Good Day Sir -Thank you

Steffy you won your bet

You thought I wouldn't

I suppose this is the account

What is it now?

Our Chairman Sir Henry Robinson

regrets that he was unaware
that he was your uncle

but he admires your spirit and
hope you would enjoy his

Jack,for heavens sake you'll be
careful what you say

I leave the big lies to you too

I'm not in your class

Remember what I told
you stick to your story

-It's all right
-Come out in a few minutes

Hello,Jack

Hello Steffy

Hello Jack,Vera is in the bedroom
she will be in a minute

She will be a little wreck old boy

I'll expect do,I had pretty hectic time

Then you would have a drink

-How about a nice gin?
-I'd rather have a whisky,sorry

I have one too,dear

It was sweet of you to have Vera

Oh,no Jack,not a bit we were very pleased

Can't think why she was so nervous

That is a common thing

I often feel like that
when Bill is out alone

Drink? Scotch? Do you?

-No,it isn't like Vera
-Here you are-Thank you

-Here's to the Chairman
-Bless him

Who?

No one you know,old boy

Steffy's own tort

Jack you look all ill

Here I am,darling

You look terrible

It gave me a bit of shock to find the
flat empty and the bed not slept in

I know,if I had known you
coming back earlier

I would have left a note
and say where I was

Steffy and Bill have been awfully kind

-Not a bit after all we see you as friends
-Give Vera her drink darling

What was the matter
you're not usually nervous?

I know it was silly of me
but I couldn't help it

-Chin,Vera
-Thank you,Bill

What brought you back
from Leicester so quickly?

They wanted a new contract signed

I promised to be in Leicester by twelve

You mean you're going back there today?

Not now in the circumstances

My partner Carling was murdered last night

I came back last night with a new
agreement for Carling to sign

It must have been just before eleven

He told me to take it at once
with the lawyer in Finchley

I had to go back to Carling
early this morning

When I got to the house
there was no answer

I called a policeman and
broke in through a window

we found Carling dead on
the dining room floor

Do they know how did it?

It looks as there was a woman in it

There is it in the most, isn't it?

Carling was obviously expecting
a woman last night

He had a supper table laid out and flowers
and everything,champagne usual set up

It was all still there this morning

Make a jolly good beginning to a novel,that

Or would it be the end?

No,darling,we should probably
come to the end presently

What do you mean?

Well when they find who did it?

I must go to the office
and ring up Leicester

and try to straighten things out,
sorry darling you'll have to go back alone

Or could Vera stay here
and I collect her later?

Will I be in anyone's way?

No,of course not dear

Very kind of you

I'll see you down to the car

-Good Bye
-Good Bye

Bye Jack

-You know I've been thinking
-Why so glad,dear?

I don't like it

No,neither do I very much

Didn't seem fair lying to
old Jack like that

He looked very rough

I dare say you wouldn't be looking so
good if you partner just been murdered

Obviously,darling, we haven't got a bone

I am not happy about it

Jack is quite capable looking after himself

Steppy I wonder what she was
really doing last night

I don't think we'd better
go into that,buck it

-Well,you don't think
-What,dear?

She might

Steffy,he is all right,he believed it

Did he?

Well,whatever happens now
you've got to stick to your story

What do you mean?

Now we both have lied for you

You said whatever happens

There is nothing to happen

Isn't that?

I wonder

What are you looking at me like that for?

Both of you

You don't do it

Don't lose your head,dear

You might need it

I don't like it

Shut up dear

Must you go

You obviously don't want me here I'm going

Won't you make a rather
fool of yourself,Vera?

Vera,now you deliver what I
said,you stick to your story

Give me a cigarette

Oh dear,last one

I'll get some more when I go out

Great Scott,it's Thursday,
lunch for the old man

Dear,cigarette

One shilling two halfpennies,
two pennies 1sh 3 d

Two empty beer bottles for some each

-Here,dear
-I'll give you back change

And anything else I can
touch the your man for

Bye darling,take care of yourself

-Mrs Millington?
-Yes

I'm Inspector Mallory I understand
Mrs Kurton is here

Could I have a word with her?

She was here but she
has left,she's gone home

In that case,may I have a word with you?

Why not?

Please come in

-Sorry to bother you,Mrs Millington
-Oh,no,not at all

You'd rather turn up more
comfortably sitting down

I believe I ought to
ask for an identification

oh don't bother,I don't know
if I should know it,sorry

I'm investigating the death of Mr Carling

I'm sure you are doing it very well

That depends on how much help you can get

Yes,yes of course

What we call investigating involves asking
questions which sometimes seem a little..

Unnecessary?

Yes and personal but I can assure you

A matter of routine

You seemed to be experienced,Mrs Millington

Well,you see,my husband
writes detective stories

Really?

Ends and middle and beginnings but you
see routine all seem to come into them

Now you like to know the present routine

Yes

-Won't you sit down
-Thank you

I'm sorry I haven't any
cigarette to offer you

Allow me

Thank you

You've an injured arm,Mrs Minnington

Very clever of you to notice it

You describe it very well

It was just an accident

Recent?

No,no some time ago

Well now the routine

It's very simple,Mrs Kurton is a
friend of yours I believe

Yes

We've taken a statement from her husband

in connection with this case

and he tells us that his
wife stayed here last night

You want to know if he
was telling the truth?

I suppose that amounts
still not to be doubted

No of course not you are just
checking out as a matter of routine

I'm sorry I didn't mean it to be rude

I'm sure you couldn't be Mrs Millington

Don't be too sure

Yes Mrs Kurton stayed here last night

What time did she get here?

Let me think what time could it be

Was it,oh yes of course, half past ten

Exactly

Well twelve hours ways though

And how? Why do you?

Remember so exactly? I knew
that would be coming

It always does

Now my husband has suddenly
began to think

He does sometimes,you know

He does have the idea of
an end to a short story

and I got him some black coffee just
to keep him awake while he was thinking

And I remember looking at the clock

and wondering how long it would be

for the coffee took effect and
it was just half past ten

-I see that seems very
-Very well thought out

I don't think I need bothering you about
any further and may I say how grateful I am

Not at all,Inspector,been a very pleasant

-Routine
-Yes

I wish my all routine
was pleasant,Mrs Millington

Oh,Inspector,thank you very much

You must come back and get and have
some more sometime

I do hope that arm isn't too
painful,Mrs Millington

Oh no long time since it
hurt me,Good Morning,Inspector

Good Morning

Engaged

Hello, Miss Ann Rush

This is Mrs Jack Kurton

I want a face wash afternoon please

You can't?

Surely you can mange something

Right away?

Very inconvenient

I'll come right away

Operator would you get Mansion 9398

I've had engaged three times
and then nothing at all

Yes,please this is Chelsea 4358

I thank you very much

The number is ringing all
right should I confirm

Yes please do it is very important

If you could possibly give us a line
up of any of his lady friends

I already told you I didn't know anything
about his private affairs

Ours was purely a business association

You might have heard

I knew nothing of everybody's
friends men or women

Didn't want any,certainly not my friends

Look here Horton I've already
told you and the Inspector

everything I can and there is no
use asking any more questions

You really must let me get
on with my business

It's quite obvious you are
better off by his death

And money has not been too
plentiful lately,has it?

What are you getting at?

There is a read out against you
from the firm of dressmakers

and you owe 500 pounds to a moneylender
who has been threatening you

What do you mean by
snooping into my affairs?

Just routine,Sir,discretion

You'll be surprised the number
of things we don't tell

I've nothing more to say

Very good,Sir,thank you

I suppose you known the
Millingtons sometime

Yes,more my wife's friends than mine

I think you said that Mrs Kurton stayed
the night once before when you were away?

Yes,she did,what of it?

Did she happen to say which time
she went round there last night?

No she didn't what on earth
has that to do with you?

Thank you,Sir,much obliged

I hope we shan't have to
bother you again,Sir

So do I

Yes Sir

Get me Mrs Millington's flat

Hello,Mrs Millington speaking,hello Jack

Just a minute there is somebody at the door

-Mrs Millington Export Fashion Company
-Thank you very much

You say I didn't know when
my change would be open

I would like to give you five bob
but like a nice apple instead?

No thank you,Mum,I wouldn't

I belong to the notability and
I like climb five flights of stairs

I hope what's inside will fit you

Sorry,Jack,it was just ,my dress
and cloth for this evening

No Vera went home soon after you left,
she said she wouldn't stay after all

Police at your office?
How they are trying for you

Have they found out who did it?

They made up their minds
there was a woman in it

they've good as suggested they had a
clue but they wouldn't say what it was

I can't understand the questions
they have been asking

they even wanted to know the
time Vera went to you last night

Did they?

What ever for has that
going to do with them?

I suppose getting ahead by asking questions

I shouldn't worry about it too much, Jack

Bye

-Mrs Kurton?
-Yes

My name is Mallory Detective
Inspector Mallory

I'm afraid my husband is not in,
you'll find him in his office

As a matter of fact,Mrs Kurton,but you
are rather one we want a word with

Me?

Yes,if you don't mind I
won't keep you very long

If it is about Mr Carling I'm afraid
there is nothing I can tell you

There are one or two points
which you may be able to help

I very much rather you saw my husband,
it's his business not mine

I understand you spent last
night with Millingtons

Yes

What time did you get to
Millingtons,Mrs Kurton?

What on earth does that matter?

I just like to know

Must have been just after 11

Just after 11 and were the Millingtons
both at home when you arrived?

Yes

And you are quite sure it was after 11?

Certainly wasn't before

Of course the night porter here
would seen you leave

There isn't a night porter

Really? There it ought to be considering
the rent you must be paying

Did you maid keep in?

She usually leaves at six o'clock

but her husband is on home on leave
so she has a few days off

There is really nothing else I can tell you

I am sorry I can't answer
any more questions

I'm afraid I have to ask you to go

You'd better answer the
telephone,Mrs Kurton

Hello

It's you I thought it might be

I can't speak now

You are not alone

It wouldn't be an Inspector Mallory
by any chance,would it?

Now,listen Vera,you stick to your
story,you understand

and another thing you got here
last night at 10 30,hello?

Hello

Yes,I got cut off,they hung up,
fool,I'm sorry not you

It's all right,it doesn't matter

To revert to last night Mrs Kurton

I refuse to answer any more questions

Do you often stay with Millingtons
when you husband is away?

Yes,no I did once or twice,I can't remember

Last night you felt rather
nervous here alone?

What's wrong about that?

Nothing at all but you are quite sure

it was after 11 when you
got to the Millingtons?

-Really I
-Mrs Kurton

It can only be people who have something to
hide who object to answering questions

Surely you have nothing
to hide,or have you?

You are very rude

There is just one more question,Mrs Kurton

I refuse to answer

Did you stay last night
with the Millingtons?

Did you?

How dare you?

I can't force you to answer

Please go

May I remind you that it
is the duty of everybody

to help the police particularly
in a case of murder

Is that a threat?

No just a very well meant advice

I brought my dress to show you

Well if it is not Inspector Mallory again?

More routine?

Come in,Steffy,dear,Inspector is going

I am afraid I'd rather annoyed Mrs Kurton

Have you?

How do you do that?

Inspector has been asking
questions about last night

Has he?

He seems to have difficult to believe
that I was staying with you

No

I thought I'd convinced him of that

I assure you we don't ask
unnecesarry questions

Good Day inspector

It was lucky you get here in
just in time,Mrs Millington

Yes wasn't it

Good Afternoon, could I,could I

If you want to see my husband he isn't here

My name is Hewson I'm it's
very particular

Mr Kurton isn't here

It is,you see I wanted
to get into Mr Carling's house

but the police wouldn't let me

so I thought I ought to get in touch
with his partner Mr Kurton

I found this address in the telephone
directory but now that Carling is dead

How did you know that?

It hasn't been made public

I know it as if a black cloud lifting

From my brain

There is nothing to be afraid of here

Steady,come and sit down

Steffy I must talk to you

Yes ,in a minute

What did you want Mr Kurton for?

I thought he was Mr Carling's partner,
he'd know about his papers

Where they were?

Is there something in his papers you want?

Yes

Were you in business with Carling?

I am a builder

At least I was a builder

You were?

I think I've been away along
time I think I was your

But I am not now,I know I am not

No,of course not

You see I want to get back to my work

you know it's wonderful to build something,
to see a wall go up,brick on,brick on

Did you ever build anything for Carling?

Yes,I did

-Something that was
-Was what

I can't remember I was terribly
afraid I can't remember

if I could only see these
papers I was afraid

no,no,no,passed me out

He did

Did you kill him,Mr Hewson?

What?Oh no I'm not strong enough either

I haven't seen him for a long time

I wish I knew who

Who did though

I'd like to thank him

Why don't you take him away somewhere
if you want to ask him all those questions

This isn't a police station

I'm am sorry Mrs Kurton

Now you go along home,Mr Hewson

If I find anything in Carling's papers
that concerns you I will let you know

Couldn't I come with you
and look for myself?

I tell you what I will finish up
at Carling's house about 8 o'clock

you come along then I'll see what I can do

-Good Bye Mrs Kurton
-Good Bye

Thank you for being so very kind to me

Good Bye Mr Hewson,I'm sure
the Inspector will help you

Good Bye Inspector

I think I'll see the door shut this time

-Au revoir Mrs Millington
-Au revoir

Hello,dear,Steffy here?

-Yes in there
-Good

-Hello Steffy,darling
-Hello Bill

Just got back from,sure you know,
that rush as fast as I could

I'm afraid I interrupted your
visitors,Vera,Steffy darling

What a peculiar man that was

You think so,he didn't want
any papers you know

You mean he was lying

Can I get a word in edgeways

Yes darling give me a cigarette

Darling,it's about the police

They picked me up this morning

Started out and asked me a
whole load of questions

-What about?
-Not very much really

Mostly about what time Vera come
to our flat last night

You know I had an absolute brainwave

I said it was the same time
as the night program news

That was the touch that did it 10 o'clock

-What's wrong with that?
-I said it was 11

If you think it is a joke

I said half past ten

It's awful of both of you
very well to laugh

You were a little fool to set it up

I was a fool ever come to you

You were a fool long before that

-Steffy
-I'm sorry

It doesn't matter what we all say

as long as you stick to your
story that you understand

Yes,but we all said

The police can't disprove anything

until they found out where
you really where last night

-Vera
-Hi Jack

Hello,everybody,what a day

-You are tired
-I am dead

We are just leaving Bill will
you get my box,will you?

I thought I'd never get here the police
has been round at the office

Don't bother to see us out,
Good Night Vera

-Good Bye dear
-Good Bye Bill

Darling be an angel get me a
drink will you I am all in

Police got anything on anybody yet?

No

A man called Hewson was being
here in the afternoon for you

Hewson?

Said it was about some papers of Carling,
he went away with the inspector

Inspector Mallory?

Is that his name?

I shan't be a minute

What did he want?

I really can't go over all that again

Vera

Was it about you going to
Millingtons last night?

Oh Jack

Come here

I said come here I want to talk to you

Sit down

You are hiding something aren't you?

I do not know what you mean?

Why are the police so interested
in what you did last night?

I don't know and I don't care and I'm tired

I want the truth and I'm going to get it

Then you shall have it

I didn't go to Steffy last night

I didn't go until this morning when
I saw your car outside here

So you were lying all the time

And you persuaded Steffy
and Bill to lie too

Why shouldn't they? They are my friends

What did you do last night?

Was that gambling place at Brighton again?

-Will you answer?
-Yes,it was

After you gave me your word

You shouldn't made me
promise,it wasn't fair

Did you lose much?

Vera

Yes I did and I don't care

There's a writ out from those
dressmakers of yours

I had 500 pounds from the
moneylender last time

to get you out of troubles of those
Brightonpeople and save your face

Why are you doing it again?
You are ruining me?

Ruin you? My foot,you got
your business on your self

I am not able to talk
business all night too

I am fed up,bored and fed up

you do nothing,you think something of
business,business,morning noon and night

It's fortunate for you that I have

It was the money you
throw a way that made me

Made you what?

You do get the business

All of it

What are you getting at?

Maybe all this talk about being
ruined cuts no ice with me

Let your beastly business take up
whole of your life

I may as well not exist

No wonder I try to get a bit
of amusement elsewhere

I still don't see why the police come in

I don't know

Leave me alone can't you

Hello

This is Mr Kurton is Inspector
Mallory there?

Yes the Inspector is here

It's for you,Sir

Kurton

Hello yes Mr Kurton

What's that?

I see

What's the address?

23 Fortitude Mansion Brighton Yes

Yes,I agree, would saved quite of
trouble if she said so in the first place

All right Mr Kurton Good Bye

-Did you get that address?
-Yes,Sir

That's where the Kurton woman
now says she was last night

What do these people think we are?

What did you find now?

This,Sir,Carlings papers,
note on the envelope

it's links up with the writing on the wall

To the police if I am found murdered

look for James D Oliver of
Chicago and New York

he considers he has a
grievance against me

and repeatedly threatened my
life Richard Carling no date

-Sounds a bit funny to me
-Could be

We'll soon find out

Yes looks he didn't had
time to put in a date

But suppose it was James D Oliver
and he was here

he'd probably put up at
some hotel somewhere

call the Yard and tell them
that I'm on my way

then get Webb to check the airports and
saving list for the passports four weeks

-I'll cover the hotels
-Yes,Sir

Get on to Brighton and see what
they can find out from that address

Very good Sir

-The zip's got caught up in something
-It's me,dear,pull it down again

-No blood,darling
-Try again

My draws are next time

Ready Now

-The police,come to arrest us
-Might be

All those lies and things
larceny whatever the call it

We'll ask them to handcuff
us together,darling

-Hello,Bill
-Hello,Jack

Hi,there,all dressed up to,come in

Well,Steffy

I told Jack the truth about
were I was last night

Yes,I thought you would

I couldn't keep it out any longer

It's been a good thing I've been
too wrapped up in business

Vera and I are going to understand
each other better in the future

-Won't we
-Yes,darling

Good,calls for a drink

Because I know you and Bill only
what you did to help Vera

We all have to do things we'd
rather not do sometimes

Note it,Jack

-Did you tell anybody else?
-The police

Did they make any comment ?

No

Didn't they say why they were so anxious
to prove Vera hadn't stayed at all?

I didn't ask

I'm glad the questioning is over

Yes,I think it is very nearly

What do you mean?

I knew you would not have the
guts to stick to your story,Vera

It doesn't make any difference to you

Just where you are making a big mistake

You were only helping me

No,dear you thought we were giving you
an alibi but you really have giving me one

Just what I wanted

Someone who could prove that
was here from 11 o'clock onwards

Whatever on earth should you need an alibi?

You thought the inspector
was bothering about Vera?

He wasn't,dear,it was me he was after

And he couldn't get at me until he
had broken down the other story

Why should he be after you?

Because he knew that I was
at Carling's house last night

Steffy

-You knew Carling?
-Yes,Bill

And you where there last night?

Yes,dear

Then you

Then I what?

But I was

You were sleeping like in a little
cloud till I left the flat

That's a nice thing I must say

Would it be better if we all sat down?

No I'm best about here

Do,dear

You could always get
up again if you want to

I must say I'm surprised

Yes,I thought you would be,Vera

You'd never told me you knew Carling

No of course no,dear,you
wouldn't approve of the acquaintance

I shall do not of course,you are my wife

Yes I know,dear,sit down

It's all very well expecting me to sit down

-Take the husbands world
-Bill,dear

You are one of the few best ones

Supposing I've woken up and found you gone

Well this has nothing to do
with us,come on Jack

Aren't you going to stay
and see me arrested?

-Arrested?
-For what?

For the murder of Carling

But you didn't do it?

How can I prove that?

I might have been all right if
Vera had stuck to her story

Now that she hasn't I'm sunk

But they can't possibly accuse you

Yes say I was the last person with Carling

Do you think they are likely to believe me
that I swear he was alive when I left?

How could the police know that you
were at Carling's house last night?

Well I've been wondering about that

I think I must have been
slipped up somewhere

Or perhaps the driver of the taxi
and taken a description of me

Anyway they knew I was
there and that's that

Bill,darling

I never let Carling so much to put
his tips of his fingers on me

and I never meant to

But you said

No,dear,I didn't say,you thought

Don't see what else he could have thought

when you admitted going to
Carling's house like that

Well I am sorry to disappoint you,dear

But why did you go?

Now look,Bill,I am not going
to explain anything now

you can believe or not as you like

Of course I believe you

But I know what I'm thinking

Yes,dear,you are thinking it's a
pity Jack is such a light sleeper

I'm going

I won't stay Jack

Would you be kind enough to
induce your wife to sit down?

We must stay Vera

There is no reason whatever

Yes there is

-See to that Bill
-Sit down dear

-Mr Millington?
-Yes

I'm Inspector Mallory,is Mr
Kurton here? May I come in?

Of course

-Yes,I see he is,Good Evening
-Good Evening

Well,Inspector,you are back again

How very nice

-We thought perhaps you might
-Look in again?-Yes

-I suppose you know that Mrs Kurton
-For heavens sake

Yes I was afraid she wouldn't
stick to her story

But you mustn't mind her,you see
she hasn't had my experience

She'll do better next time

Well,I hope not

It is a serious matter this evening

But of course I knew why you were
trying to break down her story

Steffy

Wouldn't you like to sit down?

No of course not you can't let people
sitting down,can you?

I beg you pardon

I suppose I might as well admit
I was at Carling's house last night

Mrs Millington we reached the point

where we must have the truth
and nothing but the truth

You do admit you were at
Carling's house last night?

First time,doesn't it?

You realize the seriousness
of your admission?

Naturally Inspector

Were you there at the time of the murder?

-No
-Can you prove that?

No I'm afraid I can't

What time did you get there?

Twelve o'clock

Was Carling alone?

Yes

Was he expecting you?

He did

So you were the visitor who
was going to supper?

Yes,it was all for me,flowers and all

Were you in the habit of visiting
his house late at night?

No

Police or no police I'm
dashed to follow up.

All right,darling,it's just routine

Mrs Millington what time did you leave?

Half past twelve

So you were there only half an hour

Well you see I left,somebody else came

Who was it?

I don't know

I went into another room naturally

Could you hear them talking?

Only very faintly,Inspector,but it was
enough to know that it was a man

Whilst they were in the dining
room I slipped out of the house

So we've only your word for it
that there was another visitor

I'm afraid so

And your words haven't been
very reliable so far,has it?

No,I suppose it hasn't really

You understand the position you
put yourself into by these admissions?

Perfectly

-Well,Mrs Minnington
-No,inspector

-It's no good darling
-You can't arrest her,she didn't do it

Just a minute

Mrs Milligton has told the truth

Go on Mr Kurton?How do you know?

I went back to Carling's house last night

And I can testify that he was
alive and well when she left

Jack

What are you saying?

Keep out of this,Vera

So it was you who came to Carlin's house?

Yes

What made you go back to
that house at that time?

I was so furious when I left
the solicitor at Finchley

that I went back and have
it out with Carling

How long did you stay?

Only a few minutes

-And he was alive when you left?
-Very much so

So all your story being held up
on Finchley road was invented

to allow the lapse of time before
getting to the Turkish bath

when you were really at Carling's house

I must say it's not easy getting
the truth out of you people

Inspector I wish you tell me something

how did you know I've
been to Carling's house?

You told me just now I had
no idea about it before

Well I

Why did you come here?

For the pleasure of calling us liars?

No Mrs Minnigton I came to
ask Mr Kurton a question

I went to his flat first and
he wasn't there so I tried here

What is it?

Did Carling say he was
expecting a third visitor?

No

Do you remember him mentioning
the name Oliver?

Jim Oliver?

Oliver? Yes,I think I do remember him
mentioning the name sometime ago

Can you remember what he said?

I think he said something about Oliver
being the only man he was afraid of

He was talking of the time
in America,why inspector?

It seems pretty certain
he turned up last night

How did you find that out?

We have our methods

-Have you traced him?
-No,not yet

He can't get away

I'm glad that I'm not in
Mr Oliver shoes

May I give all of you a word of advice?

If any of you have dealings
with the police again

tell the truth at the beginning

It's so much easier for everybody

Good Night to you all

Inspector

I understand you are seeing that Mr Hewson
again at 8 o'clock this evening,won't you?

Hewson?

I expect so,why do you ask?

It was just that I felt
rather sorry for him

I do hope you find what you want

We'll do our best

-Good Night
-Good Night

Now can we go

-It's very late
-Yes,so am I

Jack would you give me a
lift to the fashion fair gala?

-Yes,of course Steffy
-Thank you

We'll wait for you in the car

-Good Night Bill
-Good Night Jack

Well,darling,you've got plenty of middles
beginning to work on now haven't you?

I'd rather think of an end

I'll try and find one for you

Shan't be late

Look after yourself

Thanks Jack for telling the Inspector that
Carling was alive when I left the house

-You'd been in a tough spot if I hadn't
-Yes I know

Were you thinking of going to
Carlin's place later this evening?

-Why?
-Don't

Are we parked here for the night or what?

Get me a taxi quick

A man here called Hewson says he
has an appointment with you,Sir

Tell him I'm sorry we haven't been
able the time the clearing terms

-We are packing up here get your coat
-Yes,Sir

Hello

Is that you Horton? I've finished here

They picked up Oliver yet? Oh,never mind

See you in the morning

Where the blight they
seemed to have opted ,Sir

not a sign of them anywhere

Nice night,good to have a
breath of fresh air

-I think I'm walking to the station
-Yes,Sir

Here is the key,I shan't want it anymore

You look charming

Yes,of course I do I am going to a party

I hope you'll enjoy it

I'm sure I shall

BTW I thought I was the only one
in the secret,it appears I wasn't

-Who else?
-Jack Kurton

How do you know?

When he told his little story coming
here and finding your body

I knew he must be in it

Did he tell you?

The situation arose

in which as a decent fellow he had
to admit he was here after I left

He had no business to admit it to anyone

You needn't be afraid of him

He lies almost as well as I do

So you made him identify
Oliver's body as yours

I wondered what you were going to do

No it was quite simple

You see it was in my house

we put Oliver in the suit of mine

my papers were on him,my
partner identified him as me

Not bad

Anyway Oliver's face wasn't recognizable

Tough,aren't you

I had to be

I suppose you made it worth
Kurton wild to take the risk

He wanted money badly

You were able to give it to him?

It was Oliver's he told me he had
more money on him than I had in the world

And he was right?

You do have the luck of the devil,don't you

Say he looks after his own

Yes,you make a very nice get
away from all your troubles

financially and otherwise
with all that money

I think you were very wise to give
yourself a hideout in the house

I bet it could tell some tales

Unlike a woman it doesn't

Where is it?

Is it in the roof?

My dear Steffy I prefer to remain a hideout

Is there a way in here really?

There are two ways in and two ways out

And there is a charming little person
this afternoon up at Kurton's flat

he said his name was Hewson

What that rat?

And he said want still something from you

But he couldn't quite remember what it was

He is off his head,he's been in an asylum

Yes,he had a breakdown just after
he finished that building job for you

What did you do to him?

Better not ask

Can you tell me something?

Anything

Is there any possibility of your changing

I shouldn't think so I hope not

Wherever you go you'll
always be the same

That's the way I was made

Yes,I suppose so

Let's talk about you

I didn't think there was a woman in the
world who could get me down ,but you have

I appreciate the compliment

If Oliver hadn't come last night

Oliver or no Oliver wouldn't be of any use

Have you been playing with me?

Yes,perhaps I have

And don't you think it might
be a dangerous game

All the best games are dangerous

What do you mean? Have you given me away?

No

I thought you had

I could have given you up to the
police,not come back

I didn't want you to be hanged

I wanted to kill you

Myself

What?

You want to kill me?

Of course we both changed
a good deal since then

Who are you?

It was in 1942 I was in France
in the resistance movement

Helping British airmen to get away

It was there I met my husband

But the Germans got me
they sent me to a camp

In Germany

It wasn't a very pleasant place

The world heard a great
deal about that camp

later on

Most of the people in charge
were caught and hanged

You got away

The commandant used to amuse
himself with the prisoners

One day he was a little bored he
wanted a little target practice

So he used me tied up against the wall

The idea was suppose to see how
near he could get without hitting me

He must have been out of form

The last two went into my left arm

Don't you remember,Herr Commandant,
Arthur Steiner

Don't move,don't you

-Put that down
-You stay where you are

I've no intention of being
killed I assure you

You killed yourself when you had
Oliver's body identified as yours

Extraordinary

I don't even remember you

No no

Up against the wall

Well, surely

Go on,move

The hands are stiff

All right,all right I'll do

Now I remember you

Well,well,well,well,small world

That gives me a chance to complete the job

I hate to leave things unfinished

There is nothing to be afraid of now

Is he dead?

Yes

I think that after all he should die
without knowing whose hand

You needn't be afraid of that
I wouldn't harm you

Yours?

You must leave nothing in this case

I should

I thought perhaps see you again

Don't be afraid of me

I'm not mad

I never was

You must go away now and forget
that you've ever seen me

What about you?

I have a plan,there is
nothing that you can do

What a beautiful cloak

Just as it should be

I shall remember you in gratitude always

And I you

Police

I want to leave a message for
Inspector Mallory it's very very particular

My name is Hewson,yes,Hewson

I've just executed Richard Carling
I am at his house,waiting
