1
00:00:49,354 --> 00:00:51,526
Come on! Back in there.
Get out of the way!
2
00:01:15,548 --> 00:01:17,968
This is a private pub!
3
00:01:18,510 --> 00:01:19,841
You've got no right!
4
00:01:19,890 --> 00:01:22,882
Charging in here like a
herd of wild elephants!
5
00:01:38,890 --> 00:01:41,529
This is a private office
6
00:01:41,570 --> 00:01:43,879
Three knifings in one week, Mr Ruskin
7
00:01:43,930 --> 00:01:46,683
What are you doing? Handing
them out at the door?
8
00:01:47,610 --> 00:01:49,009
Inspector Fox, sir
9
00:01:49,050 --> 00:01:50,563
What is it, Robinson?
10
00:01:50,610 --> 00:01:52,202
Something you should see, sir
11
00:01:58,610 --> 00:02:00,601
It�s...
12
00:02:00,650 --> 00:02:02,447
paintings, sir
13
00:02:06,050 --> 00:02:08,325
Good God
14
00:02:15,850 --> 00:02:17,203
Lychee!
15
00:02:18,410 --> 00:02:20,401
Clever little boy!
16
00:02:58,170 --> 00:02:59,649
All right, Mrs Mitchell?
17
00:02:59,690 --> 00:03:02,409
Right as rain, Mr Belt
18
00:03:18,210 --> 00:03:21,441
- Morning, Mr Period, sir
- Good morning, Alfred
19
00:03:26,490 --> 00:03:28,162
Looks like a lovely day
20
00:03:28,930 --> 00:03:32,320
It does indeed, sir. It does indeed
21
00:03:37,635 --> 00:03:40,442
Oh, those chaps are still
at it in the lane, sir
22
00:03:40,490 --> 00:03:43,562
They're taking their blessed
time about it, I must say
23
00:03:44,770 --> 00:03:45,998
Look out!
24
00:03:47,410 --> 00:03:49,082
The bath's empty
25
00:03:49,130 --> 00:03:51,325
- For what it's worth
- Thank you, Harold
26
00:03:53,170 --> 00:03:56,879
Oh, Mr Cartell's sister for
luncheon, remember, Alfred?
27
00:03:56,930 --> 00:03:58,204
Yes, sir
28
00:04:00,570 --> 00:04:01,798
Good God!
29
00:04:01,850 --> 00:04:04,318
Lady Bantling's brother's died
30
00:04:05,570 --> 00:04:07,242
A car accident
31
00:04:07,290 --> 00:04:10,494
- In the Outback
- Ah. You'll be writing, of course, sir?
32
00:04:10,529 --> 00:04:11,483
Of course
33
00:04:12,084 --> 00:04:13,659
Poor Desiree
34
00:04:21,330 --> 00:04:23,321
It�s a dangerous world, sir
35
00:04:42,730 --> 00:04:44,244
Was that a nice walkums?
36
00:04:44,290 --> 00:04:46,529
Lychee have nice walkums?
37
00:04:46,810 --> 00:04:49,370
Mummy's got a surprise for you today
38
00:04:49,410 --> 00:04:51,765
Yes, Moppet's coming to stay
39
00:04:51,810 --> 00:04:54,768
Yes, and she's bringing a friend
40
00:04:54,810 --> 00:04:57,449
Yes, isn't that nice?
41
00:05:01,290 --> 00:05:03,850
Oh, Danny boy
44
00:05:10,410 --> 00:05:12,677
A nice curry can be stretched, as you know
45
00:05:12,712 --> 00:05:14,164
To ridiculous lengths
46
00:05:16,090 --> 00:05:19,765
I�m sure, miss. I�ll get
Mr Cartell for you now
47
00:05:22,970 --> 00:05:26,201
Come on, Vixen. Up you go,
up you go to your master
48
00:05:26,250 --> 00:05:28,969
Come on now. Come on, up you go
49
00:05:35,944 --> 00:05:37,723
That was Miss Cartell,
50
00:05:37,770 --> 00:05:41,604
wondering if the cuisine
will stand two more for lunch
51
00:05:41,650 --> 00:05:44,881
- To whom was she referring?
- To the adopted niece,
52
00:05:44,930 --> 00:05:46,886
that Miss Moppet creature
53
00:05:46,930 --> 00:05:48,602
And a friend
54
00:05:48,650 --> 00:05:51,323
Oh, God, Mr Period will not be pleased
55
00:05:51,370 --> 00:05:54,123
Confidentially, he can't
stand the young lady
56
00:05:55,090 --> 00:05:57,650
And I�m sure Mr Cartell feels the same
57
00:05:59,648 --> 00:06:02,998
Well, that was my sister,
Mrs Mitchell, wondering...
58
00:06:03,050 --> 00:06:05,803
Yes, I dare say we'll manage, Mr Cartell
59
00:06:07,210 --> 00:06:08,359
Good
60
00:06:08,992 --> 00:06:10,765
I�ll let Mr Period know, then
61
00:06:10,810 --> 00:06:13,483
Come on then, if you're
in such a hurry. Come on
62
00:06:14,170 --> 00:06:17,446
For the life of me, I cannot
understand what possessed our Mr Period,
63
00:06:17,490 --> 00:06:20,562
offering that man a room in this house
64
00:06:20,610 --> 00:06:23,170
Retired solicitor, he may
be, and a gentleman, I�m sure
65
00:06:24,490 --> 00:06:28,688
But we've been under our own
steam far too long for sharing
66
00:06:34,995 --> 00:06:37,720
1 st of April, Mr B!
67
00:07:01,010 --> 00:07:03,444
I thought it best to
call you straightaway, sir
68
00:07:03,490 --> 00:07:04,843
Absolutely
69
00:07:05,850 --> 00:07:10,799
Being as each and every one
appears to be by Miss Troy
70
00:07:15,890 --> 00:07:17,323
Yes
71
00:07:23,090 --> 00:07:25,809
I say! Nicola Maitland-Mayne?
72
00:07:25,850 --> 00:07:27,044
Yes?
73
00:07:27,090 --> 00:07:29,843
Well, well, PP's turned up
trumps on the secretary front
74
00:07:29,890 --> 00:07:32,848
- Sorry?
- Percival Pyke Period
75
00:07:32,890 --> 00:07:35,688
Your new boss. I�m Andrew
Bantling, driving you to Chalfont
76
00:07:35,730 --> 00:07:39,405
Oh, how do you do? I�m sorry I...
77
00:07:39,450 --> 00:07:41,145
On the phone, you mentioned guard duty
78
00:07:41,146 --> 00:07:42,840
I thought you�d be in uniform
79
00:07:43,730 --> 00:07:46,369
- Are you related to Mr Period?
- Oh, no, no
80
00:07:46,410 --> 00:07:48,884
My legal guardian... well, actually,
81
00:07:48,885 --> 00:07:51,359
my boring old ex-stepfather,
Harold Cartell,
82
00:07:51,410 --> 00:07:53,048
lives in his house
83
00:07:54,170 --> 00:07:55,489
Good Lord!
84
00:07:56,850 --> 00:07:58,841
That's an Agatha Troy
85
00:07:58,890 --> 00:08:00,448
She's a friend of mine
86
00:08:01,970 --> 00:08:04,723
She painted it for my 21 st birthday
87
00:08:05,770 --> 00:08:07,840
I read an article about Agatha Troy,
88
00:08:07,890 --> 00:08:11,849
in which she said painting was more
important to her than life itself
89
00:08:12,810 --> 00:08:14,801
Do you think that's true?
90
00:08:19,770 --> 00:08:21,761
I want to get out of the army
91
00:08:22,509 --> 00:08:24,404
Are you hoping to paint full-time?
92
00:08:25,370 --> 00:08:27,361
How did you know that I was a painter?
93
00:08:29,510 --> 00:08:32,605
Cadmium yellow under the
nail of your right forefinger
94
00:08:35,410 --> 00:08:37,683
You ought to be a detective
95
00:08:43,970 --> 00:08:45,722
Here we are
96
00:08:56,210 --> 00:08:59,486
Don't know why PP needs a
secretary all of a sudden
97
00:08:59,530 --> 00:09:02,886
Unless you're going to type
up his letters of condolence
98
00:09:02,930 --> 00:09:04,158
His what?
99
00:09:04,210 --> 00:09:08,362
Oh, he's famous for them, writes
them to anyone and everyone
100
00:09:18,450 --> 00:09:20,441
- Thank you, Alfred
- Sir
101
00:09:24,330 --> 00:09:27,606
Well, I�d better go straight
up and get this over with, then
102
00:09:28,610 --> 00:09:30,043
Good hunting
103
00:09:30,670 --> 00:09:32,081
If you were hunting
104
00:09:33,450 --> 00:09:35,008
Thank you
105
00:09:35,050 --> 00:09:36,847
Good typing
106
00:10:04,010 --> 00:10:05,568
Percival Pyke Period
107
00:10:05,610 --> 00:10:07,123
Unhyphenated
108
00:10:07,170 --> 00:10:09,081
Friends call me PP
109
00:10:09,850 --> 00:10:11,966
Miss Maitland-Mayne?
110
00:10:12,010 --> 00:10:14,160
I don�t make much of a
to-do about the Maitland
111
00:10:14,210 --> 00:10:18,169
Oh, but you must, you must.
Such a splendid old family
112
00:10:18,210 --> 00:10:20,724
These things are very important
113
00:10:20,770 --> 00:10:23,159
I�d much prefer just plain Nicola, anyway
114
00:10:23,210 --> 00:10:25,041
Oh, well, Nicola it is, then
115
00:10:25,810 --> 00:10:29,519
This is my great-grandfather�s
place at Ribblethorpe
116
00:10:29,570 --> 00:10:31,879
Consumed, alas, by fire
117
00:10:31,930 --> 00:10:34,569
Oh, what a shame
118
00:10:36,303 --> 00:10:40,086
They didn�t really explain at the
agency what my job is supposed to be
119
00:10:40,130 --> 00:10:41,688
Well, as a matter of fact,
120
00:10:41,730 --> 00:10:44,563
I�m trying to compile a book
121
00:10:44,610 --> 00:10:46,601
Wonderful. Your memoirs?
122
00:10:46,650 --> 00:10:49,608
No, no, no. Something a
trifle more utilitarian
123
00:10:50,610 --> 00:10:52,089
It�s a book on etiquette
124
00:10:55,370 --> 00:10:57,122
How did you know they weren't mine?
125
00:10:57,170 --> 00:10:58,842
By the signatures
126
00:10:58,890 --> 00:11:01,563
Same position, every one identical
127
00:11:01,610 --> 00:11:03,487
Yours are all over the place
128
00:11:11,770 --> 00:11:13,283
Quite uncanny
129
00:11:13,330 --> 00:11:16,447
If you were to ask me to
swear I didn�t paint these,
130
00:11:16,490 --> 00:11:18,321
I�m not even sure that I could
131
00:11:19,290 --> 00:11:22,726
Somebody takes the trouble to
master your style impeccably,
132
00:11:22,770 --> 00:11:24,647
then duplicates the signatures
133
00:11:24,690 --> 00:11:27,921
as if from a printing
press. It doesn't make sense
134
00:11:27,956 --> 00:11:29,018
And why me?
135
00:11:29,210 --> 00:11:32,308
Surely it would be far less
risky and far more profitable
136
00:11:32,309 --> 00:11:34,606
to forge the works of a dead artist?
137
00:11:38,330 --> 00:11:40,321
That had occurred to me
138
00:11:43,150 --> 00:11:46,442
You're not my father.
You're not even my stepfather
139
00:11:46,490 --> 00:11:48,765
You've no right to keep the money from me
140
00:11:48,810 --> 00:11:51,404
I�m your legal guardian
until your 25th birthday
141
00:11:53,290 --> 00:11:54,926
At least look at the figures
142
00:11:54,970 --> 00:11:57,279
I�m not interested in the figures, Andrew
143
00:11:57,330 --> 00:12:00,959
Your father wouldn�t have wanted you to
resign your commission and that's that
144
00:12:05,850 --> 00:12:08,569
Letters of condolence...
145
00:12:08,610 --> 00:12:10,487
So difficult
146
00:12:10,530 --> 00:12:13,567
You knew Lady Bantling's
brother passed away?
147
00:12:13,610 --> 00:12:15,202
No, no, I didn�t
148
00:12:15,250 --> 00:12:18,447
I�m sorry, too, you horrible
little man. Sorry I asked you
149
00:12:21,730 --> 00:12:25,006
Oh, Dear. A touch of awkwardity, I fear
150
00:12:25,050 --> 00:12:27,644
Andrew�s in one of his rages
151
00:12:27,690 --> 00:12:29,802
No doubt you've often
witnessed them before
152
00:12:31,807 --> 00:12:33,768
We only just met this morning
153
00:12:33,810 --> 00:12:35,641
Really?
154
00:12:35,690 --> 00:12:38,602
Oh, when he said he knew just the girl,
155
00:12:38,650 --> 00:12:40,641
well, I thought naturally...
156
00:12:40,690 --> 00:12:46,242
Andrew's the son of the very woman
we were talking about, Desiree
157
00:12:46,290 --> 00:12:48,645
- Lady Bantling?
- Yes. Though, by rights,
158
00:12:48,690 --> 00:12:52,319
she ought by now to be
calling herself Mrs Bimbo Dodds
159
00:12:52,370 --> 00:12:54,565
Has she remarried, then?
160
00:12:54,610 --> 00:12:57,329
Twice. Once to Harold Cartell,
161
00:12:57,370 --> 00:13:00,009
with whom I sadly share this house,
162
00:13:00,050 --> 00:13:03,281
and then quite recently to Bimbo Dodds
163
00:13:03,330 --> 00:13:05,890
Bantling, Cartell, Dodds
164
00:13:05,930 --> 00:13:08,683
It�s all been frightfully alphabetical
165
00:13:09,890 --> 00:13:14,194
- If you don�t know what to do...
- ... look inside where the cows moo
166
00:13:17,290 --> 00:13:19,758
It doesn�t scan, Bimbo, darling
167
00:13:19,810 --> 00:13:22,165
I�m not a poet, Desiree
168
00:13:26,870 --> 00:13:28,047
Thanks for coming
169
00:13:28,090 --> 00:13:30,558
I�ll let you know as
soon as we find anything
170
00:13:33,010 --> 00:13:34,648
That's all?
171
00:13:34,690 --> 00:13:37,682
You've confirmed they're not
yours. Now leave the rest to us
172
00:13:41,810 --> 00:13:43,607
But I could help
173
00:13:43,650 --> 00:13:44,969
Troy!
174
00:13:51,130 --> 00:13:53,246
The moment you find anything...
175
00:14:00,850 --> 00:14:02,841
It�s very nice to meet you
176
00:14:04,370 --> 00:14:07,248
Oh, this is Connie's
adopted niece, Mary Ralston
177
00:14:07,290 --> 00:14:08,803
- How do you do?
- Hello
178
00:14:08,850 --> 00:14:11,239
I call her Moppet
179
00:14:11,290 --> 00:14:13,281
And what did he say, darling?
180
00:14:13,330 --> 00:14:15,321
He wouldn�t budge
181
00:14:15,370 --> 00:14:17,122
The miserable, old...
182
00:14:17,170 --> 00:14:19,161
You can't budge him
183
00:14:19,850 --> 00:14:21,966
And this is Mary's friend,
184
00:14:22,717 --> 00:14:23,648
Leonard...
185
00:14:23,690 --> 00:14:25,920
L- E-I-S-S.
Leiss
186
00:14:25,970 --> 00:14:28,359
Rhymes with spice, but twice as nice
187
00:14:29,014 --> 00:14:29,638
How do you do?
188
00:14:29,690 --> 00:14:31,123
Very nicely, thank you
189
00:14:33,250 --> 00:14:35,286
Leonard, I�d love a drink
190
00:14:35,330 --> 00:14:37,321
I was just about to offer
191
00:14:39,050 --> 00:14:42,008
- Everyone have the usual?
- Leonard will do mine, Uncle Hal
192
00:14:42,050 --> 00:14:43,642
He knows my kind of wallop
193
00:14:44,090 --> 00:14:45,169
If he must
194
00:14:45,803 --> 00:14:46,992
Wallop?
195
00:14:47,027 --> 00:14:48,804
What a word, Moppet!
196
00:14:49,673 --> 00:14:52,684
The things girls say nowadays. Honestly!
197
00:14:54,330 --> 00:14:56,446
What did they say in your day, Auntie Con?
198
00:14:56,490 --> 00:14:58,287
Snort?
199
00:14:59,770 --> 00:15:02,728
Mary, that was not one
of the prettiest remarks
200
00:15:02,770 --> 00:15:05,921
It certainly wasn't. You ought to
exercise more discipline, Connie
201
00:15:05,970 --> 00:15:09,406
She's too impressionable,
that's the problem
202
00:15:09,450 --> 00:15:12,123
The only way with Moppet
is to beat her like a carpet
203
00:15:12,170 --> 00:15:14,286
- Oh, good grief!
- Care to try?
204
00:15:14,330 --> 00:15:16,286
I intend to... later
205
00:15:18,290 --> 00:15:21,043
Oh, no, I tend to see myself...
206
00:15:23,170 --> 00:15:26,242
- When do you stop typing?
- Four o'clock, I think
207
00:15:26,290 --> 00:15:29,327
I�ll come back and pick you up
about quarter past to drive you home
208
00:15:29,370 --> 00:15:31,042
May I?
209
00:15:31,090 --> 00:15:34,400
Your niece has turned up with
a real specimen this time, Hal
210
00:15:34,450 --> 00:15:36,884
She's not my niece
211
00:15:36,930 --> 00:15:38,732
If Connie and the girl
persist in that charade,
212
00:15:38,770 --> 00:15:42,209
fine, but Miss Ralston is
no relation to my sister
213
00:15:43,690 --> 00:15:46,284
She's most definitely no relation to me
214
00:15:46,330 --> 00:15:48,628
Harold, Andrew says
215
00:15:48,629 --> 00:15:50,926
that you won't let him
have his inheritance
216
00:15:50,970 --> 00:15:53,768
To fritter away on an
art gallery? Certainly not
217
00:15:53,810 --> 00:15:55,687
It won't be frittering it away
218
00:15:55,688 --> 00:15:57,564
He's looked into the
whole thing very carefully
219
00:15:57,610 --> 00:15:59,202
My decision is final, Desiree
220
00:15:59,250 --> 00:16:02,401
This is my son's future
we are talking about
221
00:16:04,771 --> 00:16:05,721
Stubborn old...
222
00:16:05,770 --> 00:16:08,682
My God, to think I was
once married to you!
223
00:16:09,650 --> 00:16:12,528
Bimbo, Andrew, we really ought to go
224
00:16:12,570 --> 00:16:14,322
Let these people eat their lunch
225
00:16:14,370 --> 00:16:16,838
We're having a party
tonight, by the way, Andrew,
226
00:16:16,890 --> 00:16:18,448
which you're staying for
227
00:16:18,490 --> 00:16:21,368
- I don't think I can, Mother
- Of course you can
228
00:16:21,410 --> 00:16:24,561
Bring um... Nicola, wasn't it?
229
00:16:25,810 --> 00:16:27,448
What a good idea!
230
00:16:27,490 --> 00:16:29,082
You will come, won't you?
231
00:16:29,130 --> 00:16:30,358
Well, I...
232
00:16:31,370 --> 00:16:33,645
Yes. I�d like to very much
233
00:16:33,690 --> 00:16:35,442
What sort of a party?
234
00:16:35,490 --> 00:16:37,003
Treasure hunt
235
00:16:37,050 --> 00:16:40,167
A treasure hunt? How
absolutely marvellous!
236
00:16:40,210 --> 00:16:43,043
Why don�t you and Leonard
come along as well?
237
00:16:43,090 --> 00:16:45,650
Gosh, Lady Bantling, that�d be...
238
00:16:45,690 --> 00:16:47,806
.. lovely, Lady Bantling.
Nice of you to ask
239
00:16:49,170 --> 00:16:51,081
Luncheon is served, sir
240
00:17:03,090 --> 00:17:06,560
- Come on, Cyril
- As God is my witness, Chief inspector,
241
00:17:06,610 --> 00:17:08,805
these are not my work
242
00:17:08,850 --> 00:17:12,160
I�m not suggesting you painted
them. I�m trying to find out who did
243
00:17:13,370 --> 00:17:18,046
Then it's rather more
in an advisory capacity
244
00:17:18,090 --> 00:17:22,129
than with a view to incarceration
that you've invited me here?
245
00:17:23,530 --> 00:17:26,169
Have you got anything for me?
246
00:17:27,770 --> 00:17:31,046
You couldn�t perchance
advance me a few guineas,
247
00:17:31,090 --> 00:17:33,206
by way of a consultancy fee?
248
00:17:33,250 --> 00:17:34,569
By way of what?
249
00:17:34,610 --> 00:17:37,204
I�m just a trifle stretched at the moment
250
00:17:37,250 --> 00:17:38,649
So is your credibility, Cyril
251
00:17:49,270 --> 00:17:51,720
Let's hear what you have to say first
252
00:17:54,450 --> 00:17:56,042
Two weeks ago,
253
00:17:56,090 --> 00:18:01,244
Hugo De Moncrieff asked me to look
at a painting that had come in,
254
00:18:01,290 --> 00:18:04,965
purported to be an
Agatha Troy self-portrait
255
00:18:05,567 --> 00:18:06,238
And?
256
00:18:06,290 --> 00:18:08,884
It was good. It was very good
257
00:18:09,810 --> 00:18:12,768
Hugo said that he was not so
much suspicious of the work
258
00:18:12,810 --> 00:18:14,209
as of the character
259
00:18:14,250 --> 00:18:16,047
who was trying to sell it
260
00:18:17,150 --> 00:18:20,965
- And what did you advise?
- That he verify its authenticity
261
00:18:21,010 --> 00:18:22,728
with Troy directly
262
00:18:22,770 --> 00:18:26,558
One has that advantage
with a living artist
263
00:18:27,570 --> 00:18:29,686
And did he hang the painting?
264
00:18:37,010 --> 00:18:38,682
It sold
265
00:18:38,730 --> 00:18:40,049
Last week
266
00:18:50,050 --> 00:18:51,541
Mr De Moncrieff,
267
00:18:51,590 --> 00:18:54,150
I have it on good authority that last week
268
00:18:54,151 --> 00:18:56,710
you were sold an Agatha
Troy self-portrait
269
00:18:58,350 --> 00:19:00,625
I�ve reason to believe it was a forgery
270
00:19:02,824 --> 00:19:03,945
A forgery?
271
00:19:04,270 --> 00:19:07,821
I�d like to know where you
bought it and whom you sold it to
272
00:19:08,144 --> 00:19:09,397
Chief inspector,
273
00:19:09,690 --> 00:19:13,269
in the first place, Gallery
Moncrieff doesn't deal in forgeries
274
00:19:14,023 --> 00:19:16,507
In the second, the identities
of our clients and customers
275
00:19:16,550 --> 00:19:18,666
are not a matter for the public record
276
00:19:18,710 --> 00:19:19,938
In the third,
277
00:19:19,990 --> 00:19:22,265
it's obvious you have no warrant
278
00:19:22,310 --> 00:19:23,469
And in the fourth,
279
00:19:23,790 --> 00:19:26,779
you should address any
queries to my solicitor
280
00:19:27,410 --> 00:19:28,239
Good day
281
00:19:28,970 --> 00:19:31,161
I�ll take that as a no, shall I?
282
00:19:33,531 --> 00:19:35,001
I�m sorry, PP
283
00:19:35,050 --> 00:19:37,928
I have things on my mind other
than your blasted cigarette case
284
00:19:37,970 --> 00:19:39,801
Well, the last people to be seen with it
285
00:19:39,850 --> 00:19:42,364
was that fellow Leiss and your Moppet
286
00:19:42,410 --> 00:19:44,765
She is not my Moppet
287
00:19:49,010 --> 00:19:54,642
Alfred, when you cleared after lunch,
did you see a gold cigarette case
288
00:19:54,690 --> 00:19:56,646
on the little table by the French windows?
289
00:19:56,690 --> 00:19:58,328
No, sir
290
00:19:58,370 --> 00:20:00,008
Are you absolutely certain?
291
00:20:00,050 --> 00:20:02,041
Absolutely, sir
292
00:20:02,090 --> 00:20:05,446
Though I did notice that
someone had opened the windows
293
00:20:07,265 --> 00:20:10,339
Well, there you are. The
workmen doing the sewage
294
00:20:10,374 --> 00:20:11,574
in Green Lane must have taken it
295
00:20:11,609 --> 00:20:14,923
Nonsense. I�ve spoken to
them myself several times
296
00:20:14,970 --> 00:20:17,126
They're perfectly
decent, hard-working chaps
297
00:20:17,514 --> 00:20:18,319
Very well, then
298
00:20:18,354 --> 00:20:21,407
Perhaps Alfred would care
to reconsider his statement?
299
00:20:21,450 --> 00:20:24,283
Really, Hal, for goodness'sake!
300
00:20:24,330 --> 00:20:27,686
Thank you, Alfred. So
sorry to have troubled you
301
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:29,368
Thank you, sir
302
00:20:35,250 --> 00:20:37,969
That does it! Him or me!
303
00:20:38,010 --> 00:20:41,161
- Him or me!
- Ructions, Mr Belt?
304
00:20:41,210 --> 00:20:43,883
Very well, if you're that
certain, I shall go now
305
00:20:43,930 --> 00:20:45,727
And if they don't produce the case,
306
00:20:45,770 --> 00:20:47,328
I shall insist on full criminal charges
307
00:20:47,329 --> 00:20:48,887
being brought against them
308
00:20:48,930 --> 00:20:50,648
I trust that will satisfy you?
309
00:20:51,659 --> 00:20:52,681
Come along, girl
310
00:21:05,930 --> 00:21:08,761
He's heading for Miss Cartell's
311
00:21:13,957 --> 00:21:15,035
Auntie Con's at some sort
312
00:21:15,101 --> 00:21:16,243
of hunt committee do
313
00:21:16,290 --> 00:21:17,928
But she ought to be back any minute
314
00:21:18,890 --> 00:21:20,801
It�s you I wanted to see
315
00:21:22,330 --> 00:21:24,127
What about, Uncle Hal?
316
00:21:24,170 --> 00:21:27,321
Will you please stop calling
me that? I�m not your uncle
317
00:21:28,970 --> 00:21:32,167
All right, Mr Cartell
318
00:21:32,210 --> 00:21:34,929
What did you do with Mr
Period�s cigarette case?
319
00:21:37,290 --> 00:21:38,689
I beg your pardon?
320
00:21:38,730 --> 00:21:41,722
You heard me. You and Leiss
were looking at it after lunch
321
00:21:41,770 --> 00:21:43,408
What did you do with it?
322
00:21:43,450 --> 00:21:45,042
Your turn, Doll. I left the water...
323
00:21:45,090 --> 00:21:47,046
Oh, pardonnez-moi
324
00:21:47,090 --> 00:21:49,729
Am I interrupting something?
325
00:21:50,270 --> 00:21:53,240
Mr Period�s cigarette case has disappeared
326
00:21:53,290 --> 00:21:54,848
You and...
327
00:21:54,890 --> 00:21:57,165
Miss Ralston were the
last people seen with it
328
00:21:59,050 --> 00:22:01,467
I put it to you that,
having placed the case on
329
00:22:01,468 --> 00:22:03,885
that little table and
opened the French windows,
330
00:22:03,930 --> 00:22:07,127
you later slipped around the side
through the garden and stole it
331
00:22:09,010 --> 00:22:12,161
That's a very serious
allegation, Mr Cartell
332
00:22:12,210 --> 00:22:14,087
I regard this as a very serious matter
333
00:22:15,170 --> 00:22:17,843
Unless it's replaced by
tomorrow, I shall call the police
334
00:22:20,530 --> 00:22:21,766
I believe you would
335
00:22:23,530 --> 00:22:25,803
Quiet! Quiet, sweetie!
336
00:22:25,850 --> 00:22:28,887
Who let this blasted mongrel in?
337
00:22:28,930 --> 00:22:31,364
Get away! Get away!
338
00:22:32,382 --> 00:22:33,241
Trudi!
339
00:22:33,940 --> 00:22:35,335
Who brought this dog in here?
340
00:22:36,930 --> 00:22:40,559
Boysie, what on earth possessed you
to bring that thing into this house?
341
00:22:40,610 --> 00:22:44,000
- Sorry, Connie, I didn�t think
- Take it out! Take it out!
342
00:22:45,192 --> 00:22:46,644
Ly!
343
00:22:46,690 --> 00:22:48,442
You called, Miss Cartell
344
00:22:48,490 --> 00:22:52,324
- Come on, old girl. We're not welcome here
- Calm down. Poor baby
345
00:22:52,370 --> 00:22:55,123
There's a good girl! There's a good girl
346
00:22:59,610 --> 00:23:02,408
I�m sorry, Constance, I do
apologise. If I�d realized...
347
00:23:02,450 --> 00:23:04,566
Come off it, Boysie
348
00:23:05,010 --> 00:23:08,000
You're hopeless with animals
and that's all there is to it
349
00:23:08,050 --> 00:23:10,644
Now then, what's wrong?
350
00:23:10,690 --> 00:23:12,726
I can see you're in one of your moods
351
00:23:12,770 --> 00:23:14,965
Pour us a drink and tell
me what the trouble is
352
00:23:15,010 --> 00:23:17,160
- I don�t want a drink, Con
- Well, I do
353
00:23:17,710 --> 00:23:19,007
Good God
354
00:23:19,050 --> 00:23:21,803
- What's that revolting stuff?
- Girth gall ointment
355
00:23:23,170 --> 00:23:24,967
For horses?
356
00:23:27,381 --> 00:23:29,965
What did you want to see me about, Boysie?
357
00:23:31,490 --> 00:23:33,481
PP's cigarette case has gone missing
358
00:23:36,390 --> 00:23:38,115
Of course he wouldn't tell you!
359
00:23:38,771 --> 00:23:41,729
No art dealer in his right
mind would tell a policeman
360
00:23:42,610 --> 00:23:45,727
Let it be known that he�d had
anything to do with art forgeries?
361
00:23:46,272 --> 00:23:49,285
The publicity would ruin
their business overnight
362
00:23:51,222 --> 00:23:52,724
What was the gallery?
363
00:23:53,469 --> 00:23:55,045
I�m not going to tell you
364
00:23:55,700 --> 00:23:58,002
I�ve more than just a
casual interest, Rory
365
00:23:58,890 --> 00:24:00,881
It�s my reputation at stake!
366
00:24:12,010 --> 00:24:14,763
It isn't just that
somebody�s copied my style
367
00:24:15,683 --> 00:24:16,880
It�s that they...
368
00:24:17,877 --> 00:24:19,398
got inside my head
369
00:24:23,890 --> 00:24:25,881
Are they really that good?
370
00:24:27,290 --> 00:24:28,848
We'll find them
371
00:24:31,650 --> 00:24:32,719
Troy!
372
00:24:35,050 --> 00:24:37,086
You really must leave this to me
373
00:24:45,450 --> 00:24:49,568
I can't see why they both
accuse you of doing such a thing
374
00:24:49,610 --> 00:24:51,407
if they didn�t have some reason
375
00:24:51,450 --> 00:24:56,399
PP and Uncle Hal have nasty minds, Auntie
Con. That's all the reason they need
376
00:24:56,450 --> 00:25:00,841
I couldn�t bear to see you getting
into trouble with the police again
377
00:25:00,890 --> 00:25:04,599
You were lucky to get
away with a warning before
378
00:25:06,970 --> 00:25:10,087
And this Leonard, Moppet...
379
00:25:12,690 --> 00:25:14,965
I told you he had an unhappy background
380
00:25:15,010 --> 00:25:17,160
I didn�t hide that from you, did I?
381
00:25:18,130 --> 00:25:20,963
But he needs love and
understanding, that's all
382
00:25:21,010 --> 00:25:22,841
And I can give him that
383
00:25:22,890 --> 00:25:25,358
I can help him make something of himself
384
00:25:26,930 --> 00:25:29,842
You wouldn�t want to spoil my
happiness, would you, Auntie Con,
385
00:25:29,890 --> 00:25:31,482
by making me stop seeing him?
386
00:25:31,530 --> 00:25:33,680
I�m so alone in the world
387
00:25:35,290 --> 00:25:36,769
Now...
388
00:25:36,810 --> 00:25:38,607
Don't cry
389
00:25:39,450 --> 00:25:41,566
You know how it upsets me
390
00:25:42,410 --> 00:25:44,719
That's my little Moppet
391
00:25:44,770 --> 00:25:46,601
- Don't cry
- Come on, sexy
392
00:25:46,650 --> 00:25:49,118
The party will be over
by the time we get there
393
00:27:09,570 --> 00:27:12,130
- Good morning, Madam
- Good morning, Alfred
394
00:27:12,170 --> 00:27:14,047
From Mr Period
395
00:27:15,090 --> 00:27:16,443
Thank you
396
00:27:29,850 --> 00:27:32,648
"My dear, what can I say?
397
00:27:32,690 --> 00:27:35,648
Only that you have lost a devoted brother,
398
00:27:35,690 --> 00:27:37,999
and I a very dear friend"
399
00:27:51,330 --> 00:27:53,127
Alfred, what's happened?
400
00:27:55,050 --> 00:27:57,041
- Happened, miss?
- My brother. Is he...?
401
00:27:57,090 --> 00:27:59,001
Mr Cartell's not up yet, miss
402
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,167
He's later than usual today.
Did you want to speak to him?
403
00:28:02,210 --> 00:28:04,007
Connie, good morning
404
00:28:04,050 --> 00:28:07,759
- Thank you, Alfred
- PP, for God�s sake, what is all this?
405
00:28:07,810 --> 00:28:09,607
Your letter. Are you mad?
406
00:28:09,650 --> 00:28:11,641
What on earth do you mean?
407
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:13,487
I don�t feel well
408
00:28:16,810 --> 00:28:20,246
Are you all right? Can I get
you something? A glass of water?
409
00:28:22,052 --> 00:28:23,522
May I speak to you, sir?
410
00:28:23,557 --> 00:28:25,002
What is it, Alfred?
411
00:28:27,620 --> 00:28:29,608
Oh, forgive me, Connie,
I won't be a minute
412
00:28:38,170 --> 00:28:40,126
What the blazes is going on?
413
00:28:41,290 --> 00:28:43,281
Why are you looking at me like that?
414
00:28:43,330 --> 00:28:44,922
It�s Mr Cartell, sir
415
00:28:44,970 --> 00:28:46,289
I...
416
00:28:46,772 --> 00:28:48,605
Not to put too fine
a point upon it, sir...
417
00:28:49,970 --> 00:28:52,040
.. the men have found him in the ditch
418
00:28:52,340 --> 00:28:53,239
Dead
419
00:29:15,010 --> 00:29:16,841
A Mr Harold Cartell, sir
420
00:29:16,890 --> 00:29:19,688
The drain-layers found him
at the bottom of the ditch
421
00:29:20,730 --> 00:29:23,927
Face-down in the mud with
that sewer pipe on top of him
422
00:29:24,890 --> 00:29:26,881
Skull crushed, sir
423
00:29:26,930 --> 00:29:29,490
They thought he might be
alive so they pulled him out
424
00:29:30,410 --> 00:29:31,604
But er...
425
00:29:32,610 --> 00:29:34,401
Right, let's take a look
426
00:29:58,090 --> 00:29:59,603
Well, Bailey?
427
00:29:59,650 --> 00:30:01,561
Yeah, a couple of things
428
00:30:02,850 --> 00:30:05,569
There are indentations
on that side of the ditch,
429
00:30:05,610 --> 00:30:08,682
which suggest that the
plank bridge was moved
430
00:30:08,730 --> 00:30:10,960
so that it would give
way when it was stepped on
431
00:30:11,010 --> 00:30:14,161
The wicks on both those lanterns
have been turned right down
432
00:30:14,210 --> 00:30:16,326
And there are two holes
433
00:30:16,370 --> 00:30:17,849
There and there
434
00:30:27,142 --> 00:30:30,799
What if this was used to
lever the pipe into the ditch?
435
00:30:32,650 --> 00:30:35,323
Exactly. No chance it was an accident, sir
436
00:30:41,130 --> 00:30:44,918
Well, I don�t want to hear
any jokes about sewercide
437
00:30:49,625 --> 00:30:51,081
Any sign of the dog?
438
00:30:51,130 --> 00:30:52,609
Dog, sir?
439
00:30:53,301 --> 00:30:54,925
The mark on the victim's right hand
440
00:30:54,926 --> 00:30:57,201
Leather leash pulled
tight. Paw marks everywhere
441
00:30:57,250 --> 00:31:00,003
- Wake up, Robinson
- Probably Pixie, sir
442
00:31:00,050 --> 00:31:02,883
A dirty great mongrel of
a thing, by all accounts
443
00:31:04,010 --> 00:31:07,764
Seems he always took it out for a walk at
one in the morning, regular as clockwork
444
00:31:11,610 --> 00:31:13,965
- Did he live here?
- That's right
445
00:31:14,714 --> 00:31:15,762
Shared with the owner,
446
00:31:16,370 --> 00:31:19,405
a Mr Percival Pyke Period, sir
447
00:31:21,202 --> 00:31:23,359
Look, get the uniform
lads onto some statements
448
00:31:23,410 --> 00:31:25,878
You try and find somewhere
to set up an incident room
449
00:31:25,930 --> 00:31:28,444
with space for Bailey
and the flash-and-dab boys
450
00:31:28,490 --> 00:31:29,684
Sir
451
00:31:36,330 --> 00:31:37,968
- Bailey
- Sir?
452
00:31:39,970 --> 00:31:41,961
What's been going on here?
453
00:31:42,010 --> 00:31:43,489
High heels, brogues,
454
00:31:43,530 --> 00:31:45,043
work boots
455
00:31:45,090 --> 00:31:48,799
It�ll be like trying to find
a footprint in a wine press
456
00:31:48,850 --> 00:31:50,169
Mr Alleyn!
457
00:31:58,370 --> 00:32:01,407
Looks like a car with a
leaky radiator stood here
458
00:32:26,250 --> 00:32:29,242
"Search the place we keep the tyres,
459
00:32:29,290 --> 00:32:31,645
at the home of one desired"
460
00:32:32,650 --> 00:32:34,641
Doesn't do anything for me
461
00:32:35,530 --> 00:32:38,442
A treasure hunt. It would
account for the footprints
462
00:32:39,490 --> 00:32:41,401
"Search the place we keep the tyres"
463
00:32:41,450 --> 00:32:43,247
A garage?
464
00:32:43,290 --> 00:32:45,246
"At the home of one desired "
465
00:32:52,570 --> 00:32:55,607
I was hoping to thank your mother
for giving me a room for the night
466
00:32:55,650 --> 00:32:57,481
She's never up before noon
467
00:33:17,290 --> 00:33:19,008
What's the matter?
468
00:33:19,050 --> 00:33:20,688
Nothing, why?
469
00:33:20,730 --> 00:33:22,561
Well, you were looking at me
470
00:33:22,610 --> 00:33:23,884
Sorry
471
00:33:24,690 --> 00:33:26,567
I was just thinking that...
472
00:33:27,570 --> 00:33:29,748
a person can wake up in the morning
473
00:33:29,749 --> 00:33:31,927
absolutely certain of
where their life is going,
474
00:33:31,970 --> 00:33:37,044
and one chance meeting suddenly
changes everything completely
475
00:33:45,790 --> 00:33:48,843
I�m coming!
476
00:33:53,450 --> 00:33:55,088
Hello, Cyril
477
00:33:55,130 --> 00:33:57,803
Want to earn �5?
478
00:34:09,330 --> 00:34:11,446
Mr Period is in his study, sir
479
00:34:11,490 --> 00:34:13,879
- And you are?
- Alfred, sir
480
00:34:13,930 --> 00:34:15,158
Alfred
481
00:34:15,210 --> 00:34:18,680
Mr Cartell's dog,
Pixie, have you seen her?
482
00:34:18,730 --> 00:34:22,325
She returned this morning,
sir, still trailing her lead
483
00:34:22,370 --> 00:34:24,964
I shut her up in the wood shed
484
00:34:25,010 --> 00:34:26,682
And the lead?
485
00:34:27,690 --> 00:34:29,282
I�ll fetch it for you, sir
486
00:34:29,330 --> 00:34:31,798
Inspector Fox will come
with you, if you don't mind
487
00:34:31,850 --> 00:34:34,239
- As you wish, sir
- Right, sir
488
00:34:35,250 --> 00:34:36,928
I went to bed as soon as I got home
489
00:34:36,929 --> 00:34:38,606
but I couldn�t get to sleep for some time
490
00:34:39,490 --> 00:34:43,608
Those treasure-hunters in the lane
kept me awake till... about midnight
491
00:34:44,570 --> 00:34:47,084
Then you slept. Did you wake again?
492
00:34:48,242 --> 00:34:50,645
At one o'clock when he took Pixie out
493
00:34:50,690 --> 00:34:55,400
She made her usual disturbance, barking
and whining. I�m afraid I cursed her
494
00:34:55,450 --> 00:34:57,008
Then she stopped
495
00:34:58,050 --> 00:35:00,166
You managed to get back to sleep?
496
00:35:02,170 --> 00:35:03,762
Yes, yes, I did
497
00:35:03,810 --> 00:35:06,802
Any other disturbances outside the window?
498
00:35:09,850 --> 00:35:11,408
No
499
00:35:12,690 --> 00:35:15,329
Did Mr Cartell have any
enemies that you know of?
500
00:35:15,370 --> 00:35:16,644
Well...
501
00:35:16,690 --> 00:35:19,250
one had to work very hard
trying to like him but...
502
00:35:19,290 --> 00:35:22,646
Anyone to whom he might
have done harm had he lived?
503
00:35:22,690 --> 00:35:24,169
Absolutely not
504
00:35:24,930 --> 00:35:28,161
In all this upset, Alfred�s
forgotten to fill my boxes
505
00:35:29,570 --> 00:35:33,279
It's too tiresome. I�ve mislaid
my beautiful cigarette case
506
00:35:34,450 --> 00:35:36,680
Oh, thank you so much
507
00:35:42,770 --> 00:35:44,328
This is the one, sir
508
00:35:44,370 --> 00:35:46,440
Ah, thank you, Alfred
509
00:35:47,330 --> 00:35:49,321
That's most helpful
510
00:35:51,730 --> 00:35:53,800
Ah, soda scones
511
00:35:53,850 --> 00:35:55,283
Very nice
512
00:35:55,330 --> 00:35:57,321
They're Mr Period�s favourite
513
00:35:58,269 --> 00:36:01,124
Have you both been with
Mr Period a long time?
514
00:36:03,010 --> 00:36:06,207
Ten years for me. Mr
Belt, all his working life
515
00:36:07,010 --> 00:36:09,285
I shall probably see out my time here...
516
00:36:09,330 --> 00:36:10,809
now
517
00:36:10,850 --> 00:36:14,638
Oh, had there been some doubt before?
518
00:36:14,690 --> 00:36:18,239
As it happens, due to certain
frictions between Mr Cartell and myself,
519
00:36:18,290 --> 00:36:21,680
I offered my resignation
to Mr Period only yesterday
520
00:36:21,730 --> 00:36:24,563
He�d have been extremely sad
to lose you, I shouldn�t wonder
521
00:36:24,610 --> 00:36:26,168
He was mortified
522
00:36:26,210 --> 00:36:28,405
I thought he was going to terminate
523
00:36:28,406 --> 00:36:30,601
Mr Cartell's tenancy forthwith
524
00:36:31,570 --> 00:36:36,644
Naturally, we've developed a certain...
mutual allegiance over the years
525
00:36:37,690 --> 00:36:39,009
Naturally
526
00:36:40,370 --> 00:36:44,249
What sort of frictions were
there between you and Mr Cartell?
527
00:36:54,930 --> 00:36:58,684
So he probably reached out with
his right hand as he fell and...
528
00:36:59,378 --> 00:37:00,083
Plop!
529
00:37:02,970 --> 00:37:04,608
Hello, what's this?
530
00:37:07,290 --> 00:37:09,963
You don�t think Harold�s
death was an accident, do you?
531
00:37:10,010 --> 00:37:11,807
I think a trap was laid for him
532
00:37:11,850 --> 00:37:13,488
A trap?
533
00:37:13,530 --> 00:37:14,883
Dear God
534
00:37:14,930 --> 00:37:18,445
Had the planks over the
ditch been interfered with?
535
00:37:20,130 --> 00:37:21,404
Yes
536
00:37:21,450 --> 00:37:22,769
I see
537
00:37:22,810 --> 00:37:25,688
But mightn't the whole
thing have been just a joke?
538
00:37:25,730 --> 00:37:27,561
I mean, isn't that a possibility?
539
00:37:27,610 --> 00:37:29,805
Someone in the treasure hunt came along
540
00:37:29,850 --> 00:37:31,966
and moved the planks,
541
00:37:32,010 --> 00:37:34,478
and Harold fell and was
lying there unconscious
542
00:37:34,530 --> 00:37:36,686
Then somebody else came along
543
00:37:36,687 --> 00:37:38,842
and inadvertently dislodged the sewer pipe
544
00:37:40,610 --> 00:37:44,239
Dislodging one of those sewer pipes
couldn�t have been done inadvertently
545
00:37:45,250 --> 00:37:46,968
Deliberately,
546
00:37:47,010 --> 00:37:48,602
as a prank
547
00:37:48,650 --> 00:37:53,087
A silly prank, but a prank all the
same, not knowing he was lying there
548
00:37:53,130 --> 00:37:55,121
Chief inspector, sir
549
00:37:55,170 --> 00:37:57,684
Something here you might
like to have a look at
550
00:37:59,210 --> 00:38:00,484
Excuse me
551
00:38:20,690 --> 00:38:22,681
Mr Pyke Period
552
00:38:23,690 --> 00:38:27,000
Is this, by any chance, the
cigarette case you mislaid?
553
00:38:27,050 --> 00:38:28,162
Where did you...?
554
00:38:28,197 --> 00:38:28,962
In the ditch
555
00:38:29,437 --> 00:38:32,562
Close to where the body of
Mr Harold Cartell was found
556
00:38:33,346 --> 00:38:34,248
Dear God
557
00:38:35,797 --> 00:38:36,763
Leiss?
558
00:38:37,375 --> 00:38:38,084
Who?
559
00:38:42,863 --> 00:38:43,729
Well, my dear Harold,
560
00:38:43,770 --> 00:38:48,082
it seems your stinking dog and
about half a dozen of her suitors
561
00:38:48,130 --> 00:38:51,839
has been creating havoc
in the vicarage flower beds
562
00:38:54,450 --> 00:38:57,522
Fortunately, that stupid
Reverend Elms managed to find them
563
00:38:57,570 --> 00:38:59,640
But he's very much upset
over the whole thing
564
00:39:01,610 --> 00:39:03,009
Oh, Boysie!
565
00:39:03,050 --> 00:39:05,280
You always were hopeless with dogs
566
00:39:05,330 --> 00:39:09,209
Why don't you get rid
of that ghastly mongrel?
567
00:39:09,250 --> 00:39:12,720
You can't make a silk
purse out of a sow's ear
568
00:39:12,770 --> 00:39:16,126
I entirely agree, and have often
said as much, I believe, to you
569
00:39:21,594 --> 00:39:23,887
My compliments to the
chef. Nice grub, Pepe
570
00:39:23,930 --> 00:39:26,285
Oh, not Pepe, please. PP
571
00:39:26,993 --> 00:39:28,400
Is smoking allowed?
572
00:39:30,639 --> 00:39:33,212
Well, since you're our
guest, we can hardly refuse
573
00:39:34,790 --> 00:39:37,328
Damn, left mine in the
motor. Hand over, sexy
574
00:39:37,370 --> 00:39:39,326
These are Turkish, I�m afraid
575
00:39:39,370 --> 00:39:41,180
But you're welcome to try one, if you like
576
00:39:41,543 --> 00:39:42,747
Ta very much
577
00:39:42,782 --> 00:39:43,882
Turkish will make a change
578
00:39:46,010 --> 00:39:47,602
Nice case
579
00:39:48,730 --> 00:39:50,368
Let's have a look
580
00:39:50,410 --> 00:39:53,089
Well, actually, it's an 18th-century card
581
00:39:53,090 --> 00:39:55,768
case left to me by an old friend,
582
00:39:55,810 --> 00:39:58,119
Lady Charlwood
583
00:39:58,170 --> 00:40:00,206
18th century? Well, I never
584
00:40:00,250 --> 00:40:02,081
The inscription's still visible,
585
00:40:02,130 --> 00:40:03,768
if you hold it up to the light
586
00:40:13,730 --> 00:40:16,403
If you mean what I think you mean
587
00:40:16,450 --> 00:40:18,805
It�s OK by me
588
00:40:18,850 --> 00:40:21,489
Things aren't always what they seem
589
00:40:21,530 --> 00:40:23,725
It�s OK by me
590
00:40:25,810 --> 00:40:27,607
Here's your vicar
591
00:40:27,650 --> 00:40:30,608
Looking a mite steamed up, I must say
592
00:40:31,416 --> 00:40:33,039
Oh, really, this is too much!
593
00:40:35,970 --> 00:40:37,881
I�ll see to it, PP
594
00:40:38,917 --> 00:40:41,445
Just tell him the bitch is
on heat and can't help herself
595
00:40:41,490 --> 00:40:43,162
Eh, sexy?
596
00:40:44,930 --> 00:40:47,888
Connie ought to have sent the
fellow packing at the first glance
597
00:40:49,050 --> 00:40:51,405
Mr Cartell thought so, too, I dare say
598
00:40:52,420 --> 00:40:53,759
Yes, yes, indeed
599
00:40:55,814 --> 00:40:58,240
Oh, I�m so sorry, the front door was...
600
00:40:59,170 --> 00:41:00,319
Rory!
601
00:41:04,994 --> 00:41:07,006
He's a painter, isn't he?
602
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,087
- You saw the cadmium...
- Cadmium yellow
603
00:41:11,290 --> 00:41:12,723
All right
604
00:41:15,170 --> 00:41:16,523
So...
605
00:41:16,718 --> 00:41:19,846
What was the young Lieutenant
Bantling doing here yesterday?
606
00:41:20,647 --> 00:41:21,960
Visiting Mr Cartell
607
00:41:22,930 --> 00:41:24,602
On business?
608
00:41:29,050 --> 00:41:30,165
Nicola...
609
00:41:30,210 --> 00:41:33,088
Yes, he�d tell you himself
610
00:41:33,130 --> 00:41:34,324
Good
611
00:41:35,770 --> 00:41:38,045
What time did you and
he get back last night?
612
00:41:39,170 --> 00:41:41,161
Shortly after one
613
00:41:41,210 --> 00:41:43,599
I thought everybody had
to be back before midnight?
614
00:41:44,610 --> 00:41:47,044
Andrew and I didn�t take
part in the treasure hunt
615
00:41:48,170 --> 00:41:50,047
We drove around for a bit,
616
00:41:50,090 --> 00:41:51,842
then parked in Green Lane
617
00:41:52,650 --> 00:41:53,909
It wasn't what you think!
618
00:41:58,410 --> 00:42:00,162
If I take over the Grantham Gallery,
619
00:42:00,610 --> 00:42:02,709
there's a studio in the
back where I could paint
620
00:42:02,710 --> 00:42:04,808
and manage the gallery at the same time
621
00:42:04,850 --> 00:42:07,569
Is that what your meeting
with Mr Cartell was about?
622
00:42:07,610 --> 00:42:08,929
Yes
623
00:42:10,207 --> 00:42:12,440
I want to paint more than anything in life
624
00:42:12,490 --> 00:42:15,368
And buying the Grantham's
the perfect way to do it
625
00:42:15,410 --> 00:42:17,401
Or would be,
626
00:42:17,450 --> 00:42:20,760
if it weren't for that
pontificating philistine
627
00:42:22,050 --> 00:42:24,848
I bet Agatha Troy never
had any of these problems
628
00:42:33,983 --> 00:42:34,983
Good night
629
00:42:35,130 --> 00:42:37,519
And thank you so much for a lovely dinner
630
00:42:37,570 --> 00:42:40,038
I always enjoy our little chats
631
00:43:07,730 --> 00:43:12,087
But soft! What light
through yonder window breaks?
632
00:43:16,650 --> 00:43:18,402
Good God!
633
00:43:18,450 --> 00:43:20,645
Desiree. What are you doing down there?
634
00:43:20,690 --> 00:43:23,329
I�m on the warpath, Harold
635
00:43:23,370 --> 00:43:25,725
You ought to know by now not to cross me
636
00:43:25,770 --> 00:43:30,048
Oh, go to bed! You're drunk
and talking utter nonsense!
637
00:43:30,090 --> 00:43:33,844
You�d better watch your step, you...!
638
00:43:35,250 --> 00:43:37,286
But listen,
639
00:43:37,330 --> 00:43:39,639
you don't want to take
any notice of my mama
640
00:43:39,690 --> 00:43:41,521
Why, she was probably a touch squiffy
641
00:43:42,650 --> 00:43:44,641
It would amuse her to bait Harold
642
00:43:44,690 --> 00:43:46,760
She always does that sort of thing
643
00:43:47,650 --> 00:43:49,641
But she was annoyed with him?
644
00:43:50,376 --> 00:43:51,328
Well, livid
645
00:43:51,370 --> 00:43:53,486
Well, we both were
646
00:43:53,530 --> 00:43:57,569
So you're not exactly
overwhelmed with grief?
647
00:43:58,650 --> 00:44:02,279
You'll have trouble finding anyone who is
648
00:44:04,670 --> 00:44:06,262
Lieutenant Bantling,
649
00:44:06,310 --> 00:44:09,507
someone set a trap for your stepfather
650
00:44:09,550 --> 00:44:12,144
And when he literally fell into it,
651
00:44:12,190 --> 00:44:16,502
that someone levered an
800-pound sewer pipe on top of him
652
00:44:16,550 --> 00:44:20,179
It crushed his skull and drove
him face-down into the mud
653
00:44:20,230 --> 00:44:21,709
Rory!
654
00:44:22,550 --> 00:44:25,144
So, is there anything else
either of you can tell me?
655
00:45:19,650 --> 00:45:24,087
Leonard Edward Leiss, petty larcenist,
three arrests, two convictions,
656
00:45:24,130 --> 00:45:26,519
one for theft, one for fraud
657
00:45:26,570 --> 00:45:28,845
Dishonourable discharge from the army
658
00:45:28,890 --> 00:45:31,927
Used forged references to
obtain job as a chauffeur
659
00:45:31,970 --> 00:45:34,643
Likes to move in circles above his station
660
00:45:34,690 --> 00:45:36,203
"Above his station"?
661
00:45:36,250 --> 00:45:38,844
- You know, sir, your lot
- Honestly, Brer!
662
00:45:38,890 --> 00:45:41,165
Good morning
663
00:45:42,610 --> 00:45:45,044
Forgive me, but when did
you last see your brother?
664
00:45:46,090 --> 00:45:47,409
Last evening
665
00:45:48,170 --> 00:45:50,161
He was taking Pixie for a walk
666
00:45:50,210 --> 00:45:52,405
Brought her into the house, like a fool
667
00:45:53,250 --> 00:45:56,048
Of course, Ly became hysterical and bit me
668
00:45:56,090 --> 00:45:59,321
They're very highly-strung animals, Pekes
669
00:45:59,370 --> 00:46:01,725
Poor baby's still upset,
aren't you, poppet?
670
00:46:01,770 --> 00:46:03,408
Yes!
671
00:46:05,010 --> 00:46:06,568
Is that...?
672
00:46:06,610 --> 00:46:11,081
Girth gall ointment. Smells a
bit, doesn't it? Works well, though
673
00:46:13,610 --> 00:46:17,569
Miss Cartell, yesterday, Mr
Pyke Period gave a luncheon party
674
00:46:17,610 --> 00:46:19,726
What did you talk about?
675
00:46:20,551 --> 00:46:24,764
What does PP ever talk about
but background and breeding?
676
00:46:24,810 --> 00:46:29,042
Of course I know that the war's
broken down all the class barriers
677
00:46:29,090 --> 00:46:31,081
and I�m as glad of that as the next man
678
00:46:31,130 --> 00:46:34,759
But there's something
fundamental about good breeding
679
00:46:34,810 --> 00:46:38,359
Many things in life can be
taught, but not good breeding
680
00:46:39,418 --> 00:46:41,129
Well, I think when people start making a
681
00:46:41,130 --> 00:46:43,848
to-do about family background and all,
682
00:46:43,890 --> 00:46:46,882
it's because they're a bit
hairy round the heels themselves
683
00:46:49,970 --> 00:46:52,040
There's no replacement for breeding
684
00:46:52,090 --> 00:46:57,483
It takes 600 years to make an
English lawn and an English gentleman
685
00:46:59,490 --> 00:47:02,209
I�ve heard of it being
affected in less than no time
686
00:47:02,250 --> 00:47:04,309
In fact, I know of a man who forged
687
00:47:04,310 --> 00:47:06,368
his own name in a parish register
688
00:47:06,410 --> 00:47:08,048
to establish his ancestry
689
00:47:08,630 --> 00:47:10,160
That's a good one
690
00:47:10,210 --> 00:47:12,644
- Was there any money in it?
- How was he found out?
691
00:47:12,690 --> 00:47:14,521
Never has been
692
00:47:14,570 --> 00:47:16,128
At least...
693
00:47:17,250 --> 00:47:18,729
.. not in public
694
00:47:21,550 --> 00:47:24,826
There was some talk of a cigarette
case that later went missing
695
00:47:24,870 --> 00:47:26,508
Was there?
696
00:47:26,550 --> 00:47:28,302
Not that I noticed
697
00:47:29,175 --> 00:47:31,660
I know PP had a cigarette case,
698
00:47:31,710 --> 00:47:35,862
but he's such an old muddlehead,
he probably lost it himself
699
00:47:37,230 --> 00:47:39,221
He has suggested that...
700
00:47:39,270 --> 00:47:43,627
Miss Ralston and Mr Leiss may have had
something to do with its disappearance
701
00:47:44,662 --> 00:47:46,313
You don�t want to pay any attention
702
00:47:46,348 --> 00:47:48,200
to what PP says about them
703
00:47:48,250 --> 00:47:50,445
He's out of touch with the young
704
00:47:50,490 --> 00:47:53,129
He expects them all to
behave like his generation,
705
00:47:53,170 --> 00:47:55,400
a lot of po-faced, little humbugs
706
00:47:57,810 --> 00:48:00,882
From Mr Period. The
man Alfred has left this
707
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:03,649
All right, Trudi, thank you
708
00:48:03,690 --> 00:48:05,681
Just leave it there
709
00:48:15,090 --> 00:48:17,923
Don't you want to look at that? Please
710
00:48:27,050 --> 00:48:29,848
My dear, what can I say?
711
00:48:29,890 --> 00:48:33,519
Only that you have lost a devoted brother,
712
00:48:33,570 --> 00:48:36,164
- and I a very dear friend
- What is it?
713
00:48:36,210 --> 00:48:39,964
"I know so well what a
shock this has been for you,
714
00:48:40,010 --> 00:48:43,207
- and how bravely you have taken it. "
- Miss Cartell?
715
00:48:43,250 --> 00:48:44,888
He must be mad!
716
00:48:46,930 --> 00:48:48,045
Mad
717
00:48:49,090 --> 00:48:50,967
May I see that?
718
00:48:56,708 --> 00:48:59,799
It seems like a perfectly
conventional letter of condolence
719
00:49:00,927 --> 00:49:03,444
Why do you say that he must be mad?
720
00:49:04,143 --> 00:49:06,402
Because it's all happening again
721
00:49:08,690 --> 00:49:10,567
He's written it before
722
00:49:10,610 --> 00:49:12,123
Exactly the same
723
00:49:13,370 --> 00:49:14,598
When?
724
00:49:15,050 --> 00:49:16,688
This morning
725
00:49:16,730 --> 00:49:18,209
Before breakfast
726
00:49:18,250 --> 00:49:20,241
Before I knew
727
00:49:20,290 --> 00:49:22,281
Before anybody knew
728
00:49:22,330 --> 00:49:24,560
Before they�d found him
729
00:49:29,413 --> 00:49:31,809
See for yourself
730
00:49:33,030 --> 00:49:35,021
Before they�d found him
731
00:49:47,090 --> 00:49:48,523
�2,000, sir
732
00:49:48,570 --> 00:49:50,686
�2,000? Whew!
733
00:49:50,730 --> 00:49:53,483
My wife Bunny's crazy about art but...
734
00:49:54,410 --> 00:49:57,766
Of course, I show up on
the doorstep with this,
735
00:49:57,810 --> 00:49:59,562
she'll have to take me back, won't she?
736
00:50:00,970 --> 00:50:03,530
You can arrange for it to be
shipped over to the States?
737
00:50:03,570 --> 00:50:06,084
Oh, but of course! I'd be
more than happy to do so
738
00:50:06,130 --> 00:50:08,121
Good, good
739
00:50:08,170 --> 00:50:10,126
- Troy!
- Hello, Hugo
740
00:50:11,610 --> 00:50:14,841
- What are you doing here?
- I just thought I'd have a browse round
741
00:50:14,890 --> 00:50:18,087
- You don�t mind, do you?
- Of course not. Feel free
742
00:50:23,410 --> 00:50:26,049
- What are you up to?
- Up to?
743
00:50:27,095 --> 00:50:28,001
Up to...
744
00:50:28,050 --> 00:50:30,041
�4,000 for the Degas
745
00:50:33,090 --> 00:50:36,604
Now, that is splendid
746
00:50:37,095 --> 00:50:38,766
Pretty as a picture, isn't it?
747
00:50:39,890 --> 00:50:41,608
- Thinking of buying?
- Yes, I am
748
00:50:44,050 --> 00:50:47,326
- Is there some reason I shouldn�t?
- Oh, absolutely not
749
00:50:47,370 --> 00:50:49,679
This is an extremely reputable gallery
750
00:50:49,730 --> 00:50:52,028
I'm quite certain that
Mr De Moncrieff has spared
751
00:50:52,029 --> 00:50:54,326
no expense in verifying
the painting's origin
752
00:50:55,130 --> 00:50:58,202
- He's very cautious that way
- I'm glad to hear it
753
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:00,161
But, of course, one has to be with Corot,
754
00:51:00,210 --> 00:51:02,360
as there are so many forgeries of his work
755
00:51:02,410 --> 00:51:05,447
As a matter of fact, I've heard it said
756
00:51:05,490 --> 00:51:09,369
that of the 700 proved originals
painted by Corot in his lifetime,
757
00:51:09,410 --> 00:51:11,970
over 50,000 are to be
found in America alone
758
00:51:12,010 --> 00:51:13,489
Really?
759
00:51:13,530 --> 00:51:15,185
But there you are
760
00:51:15,186 --> 00:51:16,840
As your very own PT Barnum put it,
761
00:51:16,890 --> 00:51:18,881
"There's one born every minute"
762
00:51:23,330 --> 00:51:24,558
Oh, Dear
763
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:26,441
I hope I haven't put him off
764
00:51:26,790 --> 00:51:28,906
Are you trying to ruin me, Troy?
765
00:51:28,950 --> 00:51:30,941
That depends, Hugo
766
00:51:31,870 --> 00:51:34,782
It was a cash transaction
767
00:51:34,830 --> 00:51:38,300
I delivered the money to
this address in Bermondsey
768
00:51:41,830 --> 00:51:42,979
Thank you
769
00:51:44,430 --> 00:51:45,419
Troy
770
00:51:46,216 --> 00:51:48,189
You want to be careful
771
00:51:48,230 --> 00:51:51,700
You might just be getting
too clever for your own good
772
00:52:03,710 --> 00:52:05,382
Do you mind if we hang onto these?
773
00:52:05,430 --> 00:52:06,545
No
774
00:52:06,590 --> 00:52:07,739
Of course not
775
00:52:07,790 --> 00:52:09,064
Thank you
776
00:52:10,070 --> 00:52:11,549
Clever boy!
777
00:52:12,345 --> 00:52:13,581
I'm coming
778
00:52:13,630 --> 00:52:15,461
I'm sorry
779
00:52:15,510 --> 00:52:17,626
I�ll have to see to this
780
00:52:19,590 --> 00:52:21,308
In the garden, poppet
781
00:52:26,990 --> 00:52:28,867
Get away from there!
782
00:52:28,910 --> 00:52:30,946
Naughty boy!
783
00:52:33,988 --> 00:52:34,883
Mr Leiss?
784
00:52:35,711 --> 00:52:36,701
Who the hell are you?
785
00:52:39,230 --> 00:52:41,266
Sorry to interrupt your beauty sleep
786
00:52:42,150 --> 00:52:44,869
Detective Chief Inspector
Alleyn, Scotland Yard
787
00:52:44,910 --> 00:52:46,263
Scotland Yard?
788
00:52:46,310 --> 00:52:49,905
I'd like to ask you a few questions
about Mr Period's cigarette case
789
00:52:51,630 --> 00:52:54,190
Well, he's got connections,
I�ll give him that
790
00:52:54,230 --> 00:52:56,266
Getting a Chief God Almighty inspector
791
00:52:56,310 --> 00:52:58,028
to investigate a missing knickknack
792
00:52:58,070 --> 00:52:59,549
What did you do with the case?
793
00:53:00,950 --> 00:53:02,269
I told Cartell
794
00:53:02,310 --> 00:53:03,948
We left it on the table
795
00:53:03,990 --> 00:53:06,823
Look, you can search the room or me
796
00:53:06,870 --> 00:53:08,986
or my car or my girlfriend
797
00:53:09,030 --> 00:53:10,509
We ain't got it
798
00:53:15,190 --> 00:53:16,862
Oh, the case has been found
799
00:53:16,910 --> 00:53:18,662
Well, there you are
800
00:53:18,710 --> 00:53:20,780
Found where?
801
00:53:20,830 --> 00:53:23,105
Exactly where you
dropped it, I should think
802
00:53:23,150 --> 00:53:25,061
In the open sewer,
803
00:53:25,110 --> 00:53:27,943
a few inches from Mr Cartell's body
804
00:53:27,990 --> 00:53:30,049
Leonard, we've got trouble! Old Cartell,
805
00:53:30,050 --> 00:53:32,108
dead as a door nail and down the drain
806
00:53:32,150 --> 00:53:34,141
What are you talking
about, Cartell's body?
807
00:53:34,190 --> 00:53:36,441
- Miss Ralston?
- What do you mean, Cartell's body?
808
00:53:36,510 --> 00:53:38,411
Perhaps you can tell
me what you and Mr Leiss
809
00:53:38,412 --> 00:53:40,112
did with Mr Period�s cigarette case
810
00:53:40,210 --> 00:53:42,102
No, she can't
811
00:53:42,150 --> 00:53:43,822
Because we didn�t
812
00:53:43,870 --> 00:53:45,588
We never had it
813
00:53:45,630 --> 00:53:47,780
We don�t know a thing about it
814
00:53:47,830 --> 00:53:50,653
A moment ago, you told me I
was welcome to search this room
815
00:53:50,688 --> 00:53:51,584
Do you hold to that?
816
00:53:52,141 --> 00:53:53,541
Like I said,
817
00:53:53,590 --> 00:53:54,848
I've got nothing to hide
818
00:53:55,670 --> 00:53:56,989
Good
819
00:54:19,030 --> 00:54:22,625
Did you smoke any of Mr Pyke
Period�s cigarettes yesterday?
820
00:54:22,670 --> 00:54:24,649
Only one. Your Turkish
muck don�t really appeal
821
00:54:24,650 --> 00:54:26,629
to my sensibilities, ta very much
822
00:54:26,670 --> 00:54:27,989
No?
823
00:54:28,030 --> 00:54:30,305
- Miss Ralston?
- Same story
824
00:54:44,670 --> 00:54:47,787
Look, Face, he's going to valet you
825
00:54:49,510 --> 00:54:51,899
I'd like to borrow these
for a little while, if I may?
826
00:54:51,950 --> 00:54:54,066
It's not convenient
827
00:54:57,670 --> 00:54:58,850
Would it be more convenient
828
00:54:58,860 --> 00:55:00,821
if I were to sit here
and wait for a warrant?
829
00:55:03,310 --> 00:55:05,619
All right, take the bloody things
830
00:55:05,670 --> 00:55:07,069
Thank you
831
00:55:07,110 --> 00:55:09,499
I'd like a word with
you, too, Miss Ralston
832
00:55:17,470 --> 00:55:19,283
What can I do for you, Chief inspector?
833
00:55:19,290 --> 00:55:21,048
You can wipe that smirk
off your face for a start
834
00:55:21,148 --> 00:55:22,540
Inspector!
835
00:55:22,590 --> 00:55:25,468
I'd like you to witness something
I'm gonna say to Miss Ralston
836
00:55:25,510 --> 00:55:28,149
- Good afternoon, Miss Ralston
- Please understand
837
00:55:28,190 --> 00:55:30,704
Inspector Fox and I are
investigating a murder
838
00:55:30,750 --> 00:55:33,310
Murder? Auntie Con said it was an accident
839
00:55:33,350 --> 00:55:34,749
I think we can prove
840
00:55:34,790 --> 00:55:38,180
that, last night, that cigarette
case was in his possession or in yours
841
00:55:38,230 --> 00:55:42,269
Now, this morning, it was
found next to Mr Cartell's body
842
00:55:42,310 --> 00:55:44,778
I don�t know what you
mean. I don�t know anything
843
00:55:44,830 --> 00:55:46,149
Now, miss,
844
00:55:46,190 --> 00:55:48,145
if you stole the cigarette
case and dropped it
845
00:55:48,149 --> 00:55:50,706
in the ditch last night,
you�d better tell us now
846
00:55:50,750 --> 00:55:52,183
You're trying to trap me
847
00:55:52,230 --> 00:55:53,965
Do you know what happens to people
848
00:55:53,966 --> 00:55:55,700
who withhold evidence in a case of murder?
849
00:55:55,750 --> 00:55:57,547
It wasn't what you think
850
00:55:57,590 --> 00:55:59,205
You've got it all wrong...
851
00:55:59,206 --> 00:56:00,821
It was a lovely night for a treasure hunt
852
00:56:00,870 --> 00:56:03,748
Mr Leiss, would you kindly
take yourself out of this?
853
00:56:03,790 --> 00:56:06,145
The young lady�s got
nothing to say to you, Alleyn
854
00:56:06,190 --> 00:56:08,545
Are you looking for clues? Here's one
855
00:56:08,590 --> 00:56:12,026
If you don�t know what to
do, think it over in the loo
856
00:56:12,070 --> 00:56:13,389
Come on!
857
00:56:17,150 --> 00:56:19,220
Have Bailey go through those, would you?
858
00:56:19,270 --> 00:56:19,881
Right, sir
859
00:56:19,890 --> 00:56:23,787
I'd swear there are traces of
Turkish tobacco in the overcoat pocket
860
00:56:25,310 --> 00:56:27,289
What's most upsetting is seeing the young
861
00:56:27,290 --> 00:56:29,269
lady led astray in such a manner
862
00:56:30,510 --> 00:56:33,820
Lilies that fester smell
far worse than weeds
863
00:56:33,870 --> 00:56:36,185
I'm not sure that lily didn�t start off as
864
00:56:36,186 --> 00:56:38,500
a weed and fester from there, sir
865
00:56:44,150 --> 00:56:46,823
Got enough Turkish tobacco
out of that overcoat pocket
866
00:56:46,870 --> 00:56:49,100
to satisfy a blind
jury man on a dark night
867
00:56:50,770 --> 00:56:52,506
What about the gloves?
868
00:56:53,367 --> 00:56:57,226
They're soiled but he didn�t lift
any planks with those on his hands
869
00:57:00,150 --> 00:57:02,027
Have you got another one of those?
870
00:57:02,070 --> 00:57:03,788
Sorry, last one
871
00:57:04,930 --> 00:57:06,822
Mr Pyke Period,
872
00:57:06,870 --> 00:57:09,026
how is it that you wrote
two identical letters
873
00:57:09,027 --> 00:57:11,182
of condolence to Miss Cartell,
874
00:57:11,230 --> 00:57:15,667
the first of which you sent before the body
of her brother had even been discovered?
875
00:57:15,710 --> 00:57:18,099
What? But I didn�t
876
00:57:21,350 --> 00:57:23,341
Are these in your handwriting?
877
00:57:24,975 --> 00:57:26,983
Must be some stupid mistake
878
00:57:27,030 --> 00:57:29,225
- He must have...
- Who?
879
00:57:29,270 --> 00:57:30,862
Alfred must have...
880
00:57:30,910 --> 00:57:32,009
Must have what?
881
00:57:32,230 --> 00:57:34,826
Anticipated the need for
a letter of condolence?
882
00:57:34,827 --> 00:57:36,823
Forged your handwriting?
883
00:57:36,870 --> 00:57:40,067
Sent the letter to the lady before
anybody knew she was bereaved?
884
00:57:40,110 --> 00:57:42,385
There's no need to be
facetious, Chief inspector
885
00:57:42,430 --> 00:57:45,425
I couldn�t agree more. It's
an extremely serious matter
886
00:57:45,450 --> 00:57:46,815
You don�t understand...
887
00:57:46,829 --> 00:57:50,018
I don't understand how Miss
Cartell received a letter concerning
888
00:57:50,019 --> 00:57:53,266
her brother before
anybody knew he was dead
889
00:57:54,270 --> 00:57:56,620
Well, I had occasion to write to Connie
890
00:57:56,824 --> 00:57:57,655
About what?
891
00:57:58,510 --> 00:58:02,920
About something else. Something
completely different and extremely private
892
00:58:02,950 --> 00:58:05,339
The letters must have gone
into the wrong envelopes
893
00:58:05,390 --> 00:58:08,126
Well, that still doesn�t
explain how the letter
894
00:58:08,127 --> 00:58:10,862
came to be written in the first place
895
00:58:10,910 --> 00:58:13,663
Unless you know someone else
who's lost a brother recently
896
00:58:15,150 --> 00:58:16,742
Well, I did hear yesterday
897
00:58:17,494 --> 00:58:18,542
And wrote?
898
00:58:19,762 --> 00:58:21,821
And the letters were identical?
899
00:58:24,350 --> 00:58:25,295
After all, why not?
900
00:58:25,389 --> 00:58:29,219
I mean, one can't go on inventing
consolatory phrases forever
901
00:58:29,270 --> 00:58:31,864
What's the name of this
other bereaved sister?
902
00:58:31,910 --> 00:58:35,425
The one to whom this extremely
private letter was mistakenly sent?
903
00:58:35,470 --> 00:58:38,223
You'll forgive me but I'd rather not say
904
00:58:46,990 --> 00:58:50,187
You come from an extremely
distinguished family, it seems
905
00:58:56,425 --> 00:58:57,780
You're a twin
906
00:58:57,830 --> 00:58:59,263
Yes
907
00:59:09,126 --> 00:59:12,429
Bimbo. Benedict Arthur Dodds
908
00:59:12,470 --> 00:59:14,267
Made a court appearance two years ago
909
00:59:14,310 --> 00:59:16,585
in connection with
financial interests in the...
910
00:59:17,214 --> 00:59:18,586
Wait for it, sir
911
00:59:18,630 --> 00:59:20,222
.. Hacienda Club
912
00:59:20,270 --> 00:59:23,342
Declared bankrupt, no criminal record
913
00:59:24,871 --> 00:59:29,181
A string of financial
calamities and business failures
914
00:59:29,230 --> 00:59:32,188
He's been in more tight
corners than a feather duster
915
00:59:32,230 --> 00:59:33,504
Has he?
916
00:59:34,470 --> 00:59:36,665
You�d better get some lunch
and then see if you can get more
917
00:59:36,666 --> 00:59:38,861
out of Mrs Mitchell and Mr Belt
918
00:59:38,910 --> 00:59:41,265
I can do the two things at once, sir
919
00:59:41,310 --> 00:59:43,329
Mr Belt and Mrs Mitchell have suggested
920
00:59:43,330 --> 00:59:45,349
I drop in for a snack
921
00:59:46,230 --> 00:59:47,504
Lucky you
922
00:59:47,550 --> 00:59:48,744
Oh, well
923
00:59:48,790 --> 00:59:51,020
I'll just have to press on
924
00:59:51,070 --> 00:59:52,981
and meet "the one desired"
925
01:00:17,350 --> 01:00:18,783
Rory!
926
01:00:18,830 --> 01:00:21,417
I didn�t know if it was going
to be you or your brother
927
01:00:21,452 --> 01:00:23,187
who�d become a policeman
928
01:00:23,230 --> 01:00:25,221
Desiree, has it really been that long?
929
01:00:27,030 --> 01:00:29,828
Harris, bring the inspector
some lunch, will you?
930
01:00:29,870 --> 01:00:31,462
He looks famished
931
01:00:31,510 --> 01:00:34,468
- Please don�t bother
- It's no bother. You're far too thin
932
01:00:35,350 --> 01:00:37,466
Let's get some flesh on these bones
933
01:00:52,149 --> 01:00:53,462
Desiree
934
01:00:53,510 --> 01:00:57,549
You didn't by any chance get a letter
from Mr Pyke Period this morning?
935
01:01:13,350 --> 01:01:15,659
- Poor man must be going dotty
- Why?
936
01:01:17,590 --> 01:01:19,929
"My Dear, I can't help feeling
937
01:01:19,930 --> 01:01:21,869
that you might have
drawn the wrong conclusion
938
01:01:21,910 --> 01:01:25,869
from the turn our conversation took today
939
01:01:25,910 --> 01:01:28,868
Too much to have to
defend one's own ancestry"
940
01:01:30,350 --> 01:01:32,545
"But I can assure you that mine goes back
941
01:01:32,546 --> 01:01:34,741
as far as I, or anybody else, could wish"
942
01:01:34,790 --> 01:01:37,748
What on earth is he talking about?
We never had the conversation
943
01:01:39,670 --> 01:01:41,900
Desiree, have you...
944
01:01:43,110 --> 01:01:45,101
.. lost anyone recently?
945
01:01:47,430 --> 01:01:49,625
Yes, my brother died two days ago
946
01:01:53,260 --> 01:01:55,028
I see!
947
01:01:55,070 --> 01:01:58,028
PP's got his letters crossed, hasn't he?
948
01:01:58,070 --> 01:01:59,973
- May I hang onto that?
- May I ask why?
949
01:02:00,050 --> 01:02:02,580
You may, but I shan't tell you
950
01:02:13,150 --> 01:02:15,539
Did I ever succeed in seducing you?
951
01:02:17,390 --> 01:02:18,618
No
952
01:02:22,830 --> 01:02:24,667
Mr Pyke Period dined here
last night, didn�t he,
953
01:02:24,668 --> 01:02:26,505
during the treasure hunt?
954
01:02:26,550 --> 01:02:29,223
- Yes
- Was he angry? Upset?
955
01:02:31,310 --> 01:02:33,778
Every morning, he taps on my door
956
01:02:33,830 --> 01:02:37,425
and calls out, "Bath's
empty, for what it's worth"
957
01:02:39,310 --> 01:02:43,428
And that dog, Desiree, that
dog will be the death of me
958
01:02:43,470 --> 01:02:46,985
The smell, the noise, the destruction
959
01:02:48,990 --> 01:02:51,106
Every night when he
takes her out for a walk,
960
01:02:51,150 --> 01:02:52,242
she no sooner gets below my window
961
01:02:52,329 --> 01:02:54,506
than she starts barking and wakes me up
962
01:02:55,830 --> 01:02:57,741
Sometimes I could...
963
01:02:59,090 --> 01:03:02,104
I almost believe he puts her up to it
964
01:03:02,150 --> 01:03:06,382
Just to irritate me, to goad me into...
965
01:03:07,350 --> 01:03:08,863
Well, I don�t know what
966
01:03:10,830 --> 01:03:13,316
I found Harold hell to live with, PP
967
01:03:13,410 --> 01:03:15,412
I don�t see why you should fare any better
968
01:03:17,401 --> 01:03:20,178
If it were only his irritating
ways, I could get used to them
969
01:03:20,976 --> 01:03:21,985
- But...
- Yes?
970
01:03:22,210 --> 01:03:23,698
There's more, isn't there?
971
01:03:25,350 --> 01:03:26,908
He's done something else
972
01:03:27,350 --> 01:03:29,623
Besides the usual aggravations
973
01:03:29,670 --> 01:03:32,628
Something that's really upset you
974
01:03:33,210 --> 01:03:35,243
Well, it's just something he said
975
01:03:37,570 --> 01:03:42,268
Oh, no, it's nothing. I'd rather
not talk about it, if you don't mind
976
01:03:47,150 --> 01:03:49,789
- And you drove him home?
- Yes
977
01:03:50,950 --> 01:03:52,269
Squiffy?
978
01:03:55,270 --> 01:03:57,261
After you dropped him off,
979
01:03:57,310 --> 01:04:00,188
you had words with Mr Harold Cartell
980
01:04:00,230 --> 01:04:02,983
about your son's inheritance
981
01:04:03,030 --> 01:04:04,463
I did
982
01:04:06,990 --> 01:04:10,346
Why was Cartell so set
against Andrew�s gallery idea?
983
01:04:12,270 --> 01:04:14,784
He thought Andrew shouldn�t
resign his commission
984
01:04:16,550 --> 01:04:18,780
PP's a trustee as well.
What does he think?
985
01:04:18,830 --> 01:04:20,627
Oh, I can manage PP
986
01:04:20,670 --> 01:04:23,404
Bimbo thinks the
gallery's a jolly good bet
987
01:04:23,470 --> 01:04:26,017
He's got a flair for that sort of thing
988
01:04:26,130 --> 01:04:28,739
In fact, he intends
to invest in it himself
989
01:04:28,790 --> 01:04:30,109
Does he?
990
01:04:31,250 --> 01:04:34,223
He's no longer an
undercharged bankrupt, then?
991
01:04:38,150 --> 01:04:40,141
I'm very much obliged to you
992
01:04:40,990 --> 01:04:42,981
It would only to go to waste, Mr Fox
993
01:04:43,030 --> 01:04:45,498
Being as recent events,
994
01:04:45,550 --> 01:04:48,826
have put Mr Belt and Mr
Period off their food so
995
01:04:48,870 --> 01:04:50,906
I can't think of a worse plight
996
01:04:52,750 --> 01:04:55,822
So you were in bed last night
when the murder took place, Alfred?
997
01:04:55,870 --> 01:04:58,179
Of course, I was fast asleep
998
01:04:58,230 --> 01:05:00,994
You heard nothing of the
disturbance about one o'clock?
999
01:05:03,027 --> 01:05:05,905
Well, my room's on the
other side of the house
1000
01:05:09,143 --> 01:05:10,584
Excuse me, inspector
1001
01:05:15,750 --> 01:05:18,139
Hanging's too good for them
1002
01:05:18,190 --> 01:05:20,067
I believe in capital punishment
1003
01:05:20,110 --> 01:05:24,262
All this blather the Bolshies
talk about understanding the thugs
1004
01:05:24,710 --> 01:05:26,254
Somebody�s got to show the flag
1005
01:05:26,555 --> 01:05:29,703
Darling, don�t get onto
that hobby horse now
1006
01:05:29,750 --> 01:05:34,187
You had something to tell the
inspector about who killed Hal
1007
01:05:34,230 --> 01:05:36,141
Oh, yes
1008
01:05:36,830 --> 01:05:37,748
Well...
1009
01:05:37,970 --> 01:05:40,116
it may be completely irrelevant
1010
01:05:41,010 --> 01:05:43,314
It's about this Leiss chap and the girl
1011
01:05:43,830 --> 01:05:45,349
Moppet?
1012
01:05:45,390 --> 01:05:48,541
They hung on till the
bitter end of the party
1013
01:05:50,790 --> 01:05:52,667
Thanks for coming!
1014
01:05:52,710 --> 01:05:54,428
Bye, old bean!
1015
01:06:21,710 --> 01:06:26,352
And that disposes of Mr
Harold Cartell for good
1016
01:06:26,550 --> 01:06:29,462
- When do you think they'll find it?
- In the morning, probably
1017
01:06:32,430 --> 01:06:33,829
Don't worry
1018
01:06:33,870 --> 01:06:36,748
We're in the clear
1019
01:06:38,150 --> 01:06:40,903
They upped sticks pretty
sharpish after that
1020
01:06:40,950 --> 01:06:44,579
What time did you get back
here after the treasure hunt?
1021
01:06:44,630 --> 01:06:46,808
It was before midnight, because
I had to check everything
1022
01:06:46,809 --> 01:06:48,987
was ready for the guests coming back
1023
01:06:49,030 --> 01:06:50,588
You didn�t leave after that?
1024
01:06:50,630 --> 01:06:51,824
No
1025
01:06:51,870 --> 01:06:53,462
That's my phone
1026
01:07:02,430 --> 01:07:04,386
Are you still a member
of The Hacienda Club?
1027
01:07:04,430 --> 01:07:07,024
What the Devil does that
have to do with anything?
1028
01:07:07,070 --> 01:07:10,346
Well, I was wondering if you�d
ever run into Leonard Leiss there
1029
01:07:10,995 --> 01:07:12,460
I've never seen that little...
1030
01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:15,343
Mr Leiss before yesterday
1031
01:07:16,350 --> 01:07:18,500
I haven't set foot
inside The Hacienda Club
1032
01:07:18,550 --> 01:07:20,142
in over two years
1033
01:07:20,750 --> 01:07:21,826
Very wise
1034
01:07:27,030 --> 01:07:28,099
Desiree?
1035
01:07:30,390 --> 01:07:33,029
I seem to have committed a faux pas,
1036
01:07:33,070 --> 01:07:35,823
showing you PP's funny letter
1037
01:07:35,870 --> 01:07:39,419
He has just telephoned
in a terrible tizzy,
1038
01:07:39,470 --> 01:07:42,667
telling me to throw it on
the fire and forget about it
1039
01:07:42,710 --> 01:07:44,666
You didn�t tell him I�d seen it?
1040
01:07:44,710 --> 01:07:45,904
No
1041
01:07:45,950 --> 01:07:48,339
But I feel such a traitor
1042
01:07:52,350 --> 01:07:54,341
It is good, isn't it?
1043
01:07:54,390 --> 01:07:56,381
Hideously good
1044
01:07:56,430 --> 01:07:58,146
And dear Rory, optimistic as ever,
1045
01:07:58,230 --> 01:07:59,607
is quite certain they're
going to bump me off
1046
01:07:59,630 --> 01:08:01,758
at any moment to increase
the value of my work
1047
01:08:02,670 --> 01:08:04,706
Does Rory know what you're up to?
1048
01:08:04,750 --> 01:08:07,708
Heavens, no. He told me to
stay out of it completely
1049
01:08:07,750 --> 01:08:10,583
Which, of course, had
precisely the opposite effect
1050
01:08:10,630 --> 01:08:12,541
Red rag to a bull
1051
01:08:13,090 --> 01:08:15,787
He'll say I'm stubborn
and pig-headed, I know
1052
01:08:16,550 --> 01:08:18,222
But it isn't that
1053
01:08:18,270 --> 01:08:19,498
Somehow...
1054
01:08:19,550 --> 01:08:22,940
Doing what I was told would
seem like submitting to his will
1055
01:08:24,790 --> 01:08:27,463
I suppose I'm terrified
of losing my independence
1056
01:08:28,430 --> 01:08:30,705
I'm afraid of us becoming a couple
1057
01:08:30,750 --> 01:08:33,469
Becoming us, rather than he and I
1058
01:08:34,390 --> 01:08:37,462
I don�t know, that's the
problem with falling in love
1059
01:08:38,870 --> 01:08:40,781
Perhaps I�m just too selfish
1060
01:08:40,830 --> 01:08:42,627
But I can't help it
1061
01:08:42,670 --> 01:08:44,900
If I close my eyes and think "couple",
1062
01:08:44,950 --> 01:08:48,226
- I always picture a pantomime horse
- Which end are you?
1063
01:08:53,230 --> 01:08:54,924
You will be careful, Troy?
1064
01:08:55,030 --> 01:08:57,825
I wish everyone would stop saying that
1065
01:08:57,870 --> 01:08:59,701
It worries me
1066
01:08:59,750 --> 01:09:02,184
I�m too angry to be careful
1067
01:09:59,270 --> 01:10:00,942
Rather odd behaviour, sir
1068
01:10:00,990 --> 01:10:04,062
Starting out as plain Percival Period
1069
01:10:04,110 --> 01:10:07,659
And then going to those lengths
to make out he's something he's not
1070
01:10:08,790 --> 01:10:10,781
Delusions of grandeur
1071
01:10:11,510 --> 01:10:15,185
A pathologically sensitive
nose for class distinction
1072
01:10:16,110 --> 01:10:17,263
The man's barmy
1073
01:10:19,150 --> 01:10:22,745
Suppose he had enough money
to rub shoulders with...
1074
01:10:22,790 --> 01:10:24,269
my lot
1075
01:10:25,550 --> 01:10:28,508
He moves in posh circles
1076
01:10:28,550 --> 01:10:31,383
and begins to feel almost at home
1077
01:10:31,430 --> 01:10:34,342
But there's always something
missing. Background, breeding
1078
01:10:35,190 --> 01:10:37,021
And then, one day, somebody says to him,
1079
01:10:37,070 --> 01:10:40,699
"Are you, by any chance, related to
the Pyke Periods of Ribblethorpe?"
1080
01:10:42,670 --> 01:10:45,548
Well, he looks into the
Pyke Periods of Ribblethorpe
1081
01:10:45,590 --> 01:10:47,581
and discovers they've completely died out
1082
01:10:47,630 --> 01:10:50,190
So he adjusts the parish register,
1083
01:10:50,230 --> 01:10:52,346
adopts Pyke as a second name
1084
01:10:52,390 --> 01:10:53,823
Years pass
1085
01:10:53,870 --> 01:10:56,782
By now, he has persuaded himself
he is all he claims to be,
1086
01:10:56,830 --> 01:11:00,539
and is happily established
in his own fairy tale,
1087
01:11:00,590 --> 01:11:03,662
till Harold Cartell does a
little snooping in the church
1088
01:11:03,710 --> 01:11:06,099
and blows the gaffe at
yesterday's lunch party
1089
01:11:07,730 --> 01:11:12,382
Put like that, sir, it almost makes
one feel sorry for the silly old...
1090
01:11:12,430 --> 01:11:13,943
snob?
1091
01:11:15,590 --> 01:11:17,945
Could be a very strong motive for murder
1092
01:11:45,670 --> 01:11:47,342
You want Leonard Leiss?
1093
01:11:47,390 --> 01:11:51,269
I'll give you Leonard Leiss.
You can have him. He's all yours!
1094
01:11:51,310 --> 01:11:54,461
- Miss Beech, I was only looking for him
- Take all of him!
1095
01:11:54,510 --> 01:11:56,580
Take his clothes!
1096
01:11:57,590 --> 01:11:59,785
Take everything! You're welcome to him
1097
01:11:59,830 --> 01:12:01,263
You're doing me a favour
1098
01:12:02,270 --> 01:12:04,465
Here, take his gramophone records
1099
01:12:08,030 --> 01:12:09,429
OK By Me
1100
01:12:09,470 --> 01:12:11,984
That's his favourite!
1101
01:12:12,030 --> 01:12:16,262
Who does he think he is, anyway?
Bringing that tart Mary Ralston here
1102
01:12:16,310 --> 01:12:18,187
Waltzing round like Lady Muck!
1103
01:12:18,230 --> 01:12:20,619
Telling me she was his
cousin from Chalfont!
1104
01:12:20,670 --> 01:12:24,060
How stupid do they think I am?
1105
01:12:25,750 --> 01:12:28,822
Take those to him with my compliments!
1106
01:12:33,990 --> 01:12:37,346
Here, you can take this rubbish an'all!
1107
01:12:37,390 --> 01:12:40,507
You give that lying rat a message!
1108
01:12:40,550 --> 01:12:42,108
You tell him,
1109
01:12:42,150 --> 01:12:46,462
if he ever shows his poxy,
poncey face round here again,
1110
01:12:46,510 --> 01:12:48,466
I'll scratch his eyes out!
1111
01:13:23,830 --> 01:13:25,821
Thank you, Miss Beech
1112
01:13:26,330 --> 01:13:29,391
Three hairs consistent with the deceased's
1113
01:13:29,998 --> 01:13:31,865
The plank hit him on the head, all right
1114
01:13:35,851 --> 01:13:37,026
And there are these
1115
01:13:37,070 --> 01:13:39,186
You can make it out quite clearly
1116
01:13:39,886 --> 01:13:41,448
The planks were muddy where they'd dug
1117
01:13:41,449 --> 01:13:43,667
into the walls of the
trench. But at the edges,
1118
01:13:43,710 --> 01:13:45,541
about nine inches in...
1119
01:13:46,430 --> 01:13:47,658
.. these
1120
01:13:48,510 --> 01:13:50,023
Gloves?
1121
01:13:50,070 --> 01:13:52,538
Fortunately, it's a rough undersurface
1122
01:13:53,550 --> 01:13:55,865
So, if we can find as much leather
1123
01:13:55,866 --> 01:13:58,180
as would go through the eye of a needle,
1124
01:13:58,230 --> 01:14:00,186
we might be in sight
1125
01:14:00,230 --> 01:14:03,859
Well, this may be damn all, but...
1126
01:14:12,510 --> 01:14:14,421
Well, it's not wash leather, is it?
1127
01:14:16,430 --> 01:14:17,863
More like strong hide
1128
01:14:25,150 --> 01:14:27,141
I give up. String?
1129
01:14:28,030 --> 01:14:30,021
Heavy leather and string, sir?
1130
01:14:31,550 --> 01:14:33,825
Sharp eyes, Mr Alleyn, sharp eyes
1131
01:14:33,870 --> 01:14:36,782
Flattery will get you nowhere, Bailey
1132
01:14:55,670 --> 01:14:58,503
One of your coppers brought
Lenny's coat and dinner suit back
1133
01:14:58,550 --> 01:15:01,667
- But his gloves are missing
- That's odd
1134
01:15:01,710 --> 01:15:04,383
I saw to the parcel myself.
Cream-washed leather,
1135
01:15:04,430 --> 01:15:05,624
size seven
1136
01:15:05,670 --> 01:15:07,342
No, his driving gloves
1137
01:15:07,390 --> 01:15:09,221
Leather string backs
1138
01:15:15,550 --> 01:15:17,541
I can't be long
1139
01:15:17,590 --> 01:15:20,229
Lenny thinks I�m dropping
the car at the garage
1140
01:15:21,310 --> 01:15:23,460
It�s sprung a leak in the waterworks
1141
01:15:23,510 --> 01:15:24,784
Has it?
1142
01:15:26,830 --> 01:15:28,980
Did he have these
driving gloves last night?
1143
01:15:30,750 --> 01:15:33,423
He wore the others. He's
fussy about his gloves
1144
01:15:33,470 --> 01:15:36,064
Now, I suppose I�ll get the rocket
1145
01:15:36,110 --> 01:15:40,023
Why should Mr Leiss be
angry with you, Miss Ralston?
1146
01:15:40,070 --> 01:15:43,699
Because I took the coats into the house
when we went to Auntie Con's yesterday
1147
01:15:43,750 --> 01:15:45,581
You remember where you put them?
1148
01:15:45,630 --> 01:15:47,621
I probably put them in
the hall. I usually do
1149
01:15:49,150 --> 01:15:52,460
Mr Leiss's overcoat was in
his wardrobe this morning
1150
01:15:53,910 --> 01:15:56,105
Well, I expect Trudi put it there
1151
01:15:56,150 --> 01:15:59,699
Was he wearing his overcoat last
night during the treasure hunt?
1152
01:16:02,910 --> 01:16:04,548
What if he was?
1153
01:16:04,590 --> 01:16:06,108
Did you and he have any reason
1154
01:16:06,109 --> 01:16:07,857
to go to Mr Period�s house last night?
1155
01:16:09,230 --> 01:16:10,902
This is a trick
1156
01:16:10,950 --> 01:16:13,783
You found them and
you're holding onto them
1157
01:16:13,830 --> 01:16:14,923
I know what you do
1158
01:16:15,110 --> 01:16:18,183
- Just answer the question, Miss Ralston
- No!
1159
01:16:18,230 --> 01:16:19,709
I won't!
1160
01:16:19,750 --> 01:16:21,741
You're trying to frame us!
1161
01:16:31,577 --> 01:16:33,028
Proper little madam
1162
01:16:33,070 --> 01:16:35,538
He'll have got rid of the gloves
1163
01:16:35,590 --> 01:16:37,228
Or tried to
1164
01:16:37,270 --> 01:16:40,865
Unless, of course, she
really did lose them,
1165
01:16:40,910 --> 01:16:43,185
and he's dead scared we're gonna find them
1166
01:17:17,190 --> 01:17:18,692
Well, if PP approves,
1167
01:17:18,730 --> 01:17:22,388
I can anticipate my inheritance
and buy the Grantham gallery
1168
01:17:22,430 --> 01:17:24,148
Do you think he will approve?
1169
01:17:24,190 --> 01:17:27,341
Oh, yes, he's no problem.
Hal was just bloody-minded
1170
01:17:28,912 --> 01:17:30,626
And another one of my mother
1171
01:17:30,670 --> 01:17:33,345
She of the flame-thrower coiffure
1172
01:17:35,550 --> 01:17:37,609
I'm quite sure Freud would have something
1173
01:17:37,610 --> 01:17:39,668
to say about all these
paintings of your mother
1174
01:17:39,710 --> 01:17:41,587
I've done one of Freud as well
1175
01:17:42,870 --> 01:17:45,020
I think it's...
1176
01:17:48,150 --> 01:17:49,981
I used images from his book on dreams
1177
01:17:50,030 --> 01:17:52,100
Don't go in there
1178
01:17:52,150 --> 01:17:53,902
Don't be shy
1179
01:18:06,790 --> 01:18:08,428
What is this?
1180
01:18:08,470 --> 01:18:09,789
It's...
1181
01:18:11,350 --> 01:18:13,341
Well, I was just fooling around, really
1182
01:18:14,870 --> 01:18:16,781
These are Troy
1183
01:18:18,470 --> 01:18:20,142
You
1184
01:18:20,190 --> 01:18:22,260
What's going on, Andrew?
1185
01:18:23,750 --> 01:18:26,867
They're er... tributes
1186
01:18:28,310 --> 01:18:30,028
I wouldn�t dream of selling them
1187
01:18:30,070 --> 01:18:32,630
I just give them to people, unsigned
1188
01:18:32,670 --> 01:18:35,343
Well, someone's signing
them, and selling them
1189
01:18:35,390 --> 01:18:39,429
The police found six of them two
nights ago in a nightclub. Troy's livid
1190
01:18:44,470 --> 01:18:45,664
Moppet
1191
01:18:48,630 --> 01:18:51,349
I gave her a still life a few months back
1192
01:18:51,390 --> 01:18:53,062
Just for a lark
1193
01:18:53,110 --> 01:18:54,947
She raved about it, asked me for more
1194
01:18:54,948 --> 01:18:56,785
Said she wanted to hang them in her flat
1195
01:18:57,670 --> 01:19:00,059
Well, they were just taking up space here
1196
01:19:00,110 --> 01:19:03,466
You're obsessed with Troy, aren't you?
1197
01:19:04,750 --> 01:19:06,980
Tell me you didn�t arrange all of this
1198
01:19:07,990 --> 01:19:09,787
My working for Mr Period,
1199
01:19:09,830 --> 01:19:11,548
our meeting,
1200
01:19:12,470 --> 01:19:14,461
as a way of getting close to her
1201
01:19:16,110 --> 01:19:18,499
Tell me none of that's true
1202
01:19:19,950 --> 01:19:21,224
Tell me!
1203
01:19:37,310 --> 01:19:39,699
If only we could find those damn gloves
1204
01:19:41,150 --> 01:19:43,027
Let's go through it again
1205
01:19:44,310 --> 01:19:47,939
Lady Bantling was in the lane at 11.15
1206
01:19:47,990 --> 01:19:50,458
Leiss and Miss Ralston at 11.30
1207
01:19:50,510 --> 01:19:56,426
Andrew Bantling and Nicola from
11.00 till shortly before one o'clock
1208
01:19:56,470 --> 01:19:58,529
Yes, but somebody had
to be there after one
1209
01:19:58,530 --> 01:20:00,588
to lever the sewer pipe into the ditch
1210
01:20:00,630 --> 01:20:03,269
Well, for my money, that
was Leiss and Miss Ralston
1211
01:20:03,310 --> 01:20:06,188
They set the plank bridge
up during the treasure hunt,
1212
01:20:06,230 --> 01:20:08,027
and went back later
1213
01:20:08,070 --> 01:20:10,664
Detective Chief Inspector Alleyn's office
1214
01:20:12,230 --> 01:20:14,505
Oh, yes. Would you put him on, please?
1215
01:20:15,830 --> 01:20:18,663
Mr Percival Pyke Period
1216
01:20:22,270 --> 01:20:23,385
Hello?
1217
01:20:23,430 --> 01:20:24,863
Chief Inspector,
1218
01:20:24,910 --> 01:20:27,743
you're going to think me
an awful old shirker, I know
1219
01:20:28,790 --> 01:20:31,907
But I feel there's something
I should really have told you...
1220
01:20:32,830 --> 01:20:34,548
.. about last night
1221
01:20:42,510 --> 01:20:44,068
Mr Period?
1222
01:20:45,310 --> 01:20:46,789
Mr Period!
1223
01:20:48,550 --> 01:20:49,949
We need the car
1224
01:20:59,910 --> 01:21:01,662
Good evening, Mr Bantling
1225
01:21:46,230 --> 01:21:48,346
- Miss Cartell?
- Yes
1226
01:21:48,390 --> 01:21:50,221
My name's Agatha Troy
1227
01:21:50,270 --> 01:21:51,749
May I come in?
1228
01:21:51,790 --> 01:21:54,145
Why, yes, of course
1229
01:22:33,310 --> 01:22:35,665
Moppet's quite an admirer of yours
1230
01:22:35,710 --> 01:22:38,463
I don't know much about painting,
1231
01:22:38,510 --> 01:22:41,024
but she says you're the cat's pyjamas
1232
01:22:41,070 --> 01:22:42,628
That's very kind
1233
01:22:42,670 --> 01:22:45,343
As a matter of fact, she
gave me that as a present
1234
01:22:45,390 --> 01:22:48,507
That's actually why I'm here, Miss Cartell
1235
01:22:49,010 --> 01:22:51,346
I'm afraid that painting
and a number of others
1236
01:22:51,347 --> 01:22:53,383
that Mary and Mr Leiss have been handling
1237
01:22:53,430 --> 01:22:55,466
are... forgeries
1238
01:22:57,790 --> 01:22:59,189
Miss Troy!
1239
01:23:00,550 --> 01:23:02,302
Mary's a wilful girl
1240
01:23:02,350 --> 01:23:04,580
Headstrong at times, mischievous, even
1241
01:23:05,630 --> 01:23:09,942
But the idea that she's capable
of jiggery-pokery is, well...
1242
01:23:10,790 --> 01:23:11,939
.. poppycock!
1243
01:23:11,990 --> 01:23:13,867
Pure poppycock!
1244
01:23:18,310 --> 01:23:19,743
Clever boy!
1245
01:23:23,710 --> 01:23:25,382
Did Andrew send you?
1246
01:23:25,430 --> 01:23:26,783
Andrew?
1247
01:23:26,830 --> 01:23:28,087
You're all in it together,
1248
01:23:28,103 --> 01:23:29,838
playing a practical joke on me
1249
01:23:30,110 --> 01:23:30,889
Moppet as well
1250
01:23:31,830 --> 01:23:35,142
This isn't a joke, I'm
afraid. The police are involved
1251
01:23:37,390 --> 01:23:41,144
Miss Troy, these are wicked, wicked lies
1252
01:23:41,950 --> 01:23:43,927
I know Mary better than anyone
1253
01:23:43,930 --> 01:23:46,539
I'm telling you she's
not capable of such things
1254
01:23:46,590 --> 01:23:48,262
Now, possibly...
1255
01:23:48,310 --> 01:23:50,870
someone she's allowed
herself to get close to
1256
01:23:50,910 --> 01:23:53,902
She's so alone in the world,
it makes her vulnerable
1257
01:23:53,950 --> 01:23:55,941
She gives of herself too freely,
1258
01:23:55,990 --> 01:23:57,901
trusts too easily, you see
1259
01:23:58,950 --> 01:24:02,465
But forging paintings! My Moppet?
1260
01:24:02,710 --> 01:24:04,666
She wouldn�t know where to begin
1261
01:24:04,710 --> 01:24:07,105
I don�t actually believe
that she or Mr Leiss
1262
01:24:07,106 --> 01:24:09,500
forged the paintings, Miss Cartell
1263
01:24:09,550 --> 01:24:12,826
Of course they didn�t. I'll
make some tea. Do sit down
1264
01:24:18,150 --> 01:24:22,109
That song ought to have told Alleyn
1265
01:24:22,150 --> 01:24:23,868
What song?
1266
01:24:23,910 --> 01:24:25,628
What song, Mr Period?
1267
01:24:25,670 --> 01:24:28,025
Over and over
1268
01:24:28,950 --> 01:24:30,702
Whistling at luncheon
1269
01:24:31,790 --> 01:24:33,621
Awfully bad form
1270
01:24:33,670 --> 01:24:37,948
Couldn�t get it out of my head. So silly
1271
01:24:38,990 --> 01:24:41,788
OK By Me. Over and over
1272
01:24:41,830 --> 01:24:43,980
I knew it was him the moment I heard it
1273
01:24:44,990 --> 01:24:47,663
If you think... mean I mean
1274
01:24:49,110 --> 01:24:51,704
Was it Leonard Leiss whistling the song?
1275
01:24:52,830 --> 01:24:54,786
Must speak to Alleyn
1276
01:24:54,830 --> 01:24:56,422
I'm here, Mr Period
1277
01:24:58,110 --> 01:25:01,466
Tell him, last night in the lane,
1278
01:25:01,510 --> 01:25:04,343
whistling that tune
1279
01:25:04,390 --> 01:25:06,301
OK By Me
1280
01:25:09,070 --> 01:25:10,867
That was the tune
1281
01:25:10,910 --> 01:25:13,447
Was it Leonard Leiss
whistling the tune at lunch
1282
01:25:13,448 --> 01:25:15,984
and then in the lane last night?
1283
01:25:16,030 --> 01:25:17,782
So vulgar
1284
01:25:18,750 --> 01:25:20,502
Can you remember what time?
1285
01:25:20,550 --> 01:25:26,819
Mr Period, it's very important that I know
what time Leonard Leiss was in the lane
1286
01:25:26,870 --> 01:25:29,384
After the dog. Later
1287
01:25:30,430 --> 01:25:32,307
Later than one o'clock?
1288
01:25:32,350 --> 01:25:35,387
Woke me up again. I heard the whistling
1289
01:25:48,230 --> 01:25:51,620
I'd recognise those lips at 100 yards
1290
01:25:51,670 --> 01:25:53,661
Mary "Moppet" Ralston
1291
01:25:54,710 --> 01:25:56,348
And the two Capstan
1292
01:25:56,390 --> 01:25:59,143
Leiss by name, louse by nature
1293
01:26:08,573 --> 01:26:09,466
Excuse me
1294
01:26:09,510 --> 01:26:12,535
Alfred, did you deliver
any messages today?
1295
01:26:12,570 --> 01:26:13,742
Across the green, for instance?
1296
01:26:14,750 --> 01:26:17,423
Yes, sir. To Miss Cartell
1297
01:26:17,470 --> 01:26:19,301
For Miss Cartell?
1298
01:26:19,350 --> 01:26:22,945
No, sir. For Miss Ralston and Mr Leiss
1299
01:26:27,190 --> 01:26:29,181
Pick them up, then, sir?
1300
01:26:29,230 --> 01:26:31,380
It's not that easy, I'm afraid
1301
01:26:32,750 --> 01:26:36,379
Yes, Mr Pyke Period heard Leiss
whistling out here last night
1302
01:26:37,350 --> 01:26:39,022
OK By Me
1303
01:26:39,070 --> 01:26:41,459
But after one o'clock,
1304
01:26:41,510 --> 01:26:44,422
when they were picking up
water for their radiator
1305
01:26:44,470 --> 01:26:45,664
Mr Alleyn!
1306
01:26:54,590 --> 01:26:56,740
There are two sets of paw prints here
1307
01:26:58,630 --> 01:27:01,428
Now, this one here's Pixie's,
1308
01:27:01,470 --> 01:27:02,698
I reckon, sir
1309
01:27:02,750 --> 01:27:04,627
Like the ones we found by the sewer ditch
1310
01:27:04,670 --> 01:27:07,289
But this smaller one here...
1311
01:27:10,710 --> 01:27:12,587
Pekinese
1312
01:27:12,630 --> 01:27:14,461
Miss Troy,
1313
01:27:14,510 --> 01:27:18,264
I've often considered
commissioning a portrait of Mary
1314
01:27:18,310 --> 01:27:19,823
How much would it...?
1315
01:27:22,730 --> 01:27:24,907
You seem to have lost a glove
1316
01:27:25,348 --> 01:27:27,703
What makes you think it's mine?
1317
01:27:28,729 --> 01:27:30,184
I'm sorry, it's...
1318
01:27:30,230 --> 01:27:32,505
the bloodstain on the thumb
1319
01:27:40,230 --> 01:27:41,642
Miss Moppet isn't the innocent,
1320
01:27:41,730 --> 01:27:44,428
little angel you like to
think she is, Constance
1321
01:27:44,470 --> 01:27:46,108
You're besotted with her
1322
01:27:46,150 --> 01:27:47,549
Balderdash!
1323
01:27:47,590 --> 01:27:49,228
You are, but I tell you this,
1324
01:27:49,270 --> 01:27:51,579
if you've any authority over her at all,
1325
01:27:51,630 --> 01:27:53,222
you�d better use it
1326
01:27:53,270 --> 01:27:56,182
Because unless that cigarette
case is returned by tomorrow,
1327
01:27:56,230 --> 01:27:58,744
I'm calling the police
and pressing charges,
1328
01:27:58,790 --> 01:28:00,348
against the two of them!
1329
01:28:06,590 --> 01:28:07,943
Thank you
1330
01:28:11,750 --> 01:28:13,741
Nearly out of sugar
1331
01:28:45,910 --> 01:28:49,459
I don't think Leonard's social
graces are any concern of yours
1332
01:28:49,510 --> 01:28:51,309
That's the trouble with them
1333
01:28:51,348 --> 01:28:54,584
They can't see beyond the end
of their aristocratic noses
1334
01:28:54,630 --> 01:28:58,908
The cigarette case? Is that what you
brought us over here to talk about?
1335
01:28:58,950 --> 01:29:02,659
Just a minute. Just what are
you getting at, Mr Pyke Period?
1336
01:29:02,710 --> 01:29:05,668
What we were doing last night
is absolutely no concern of yours
1337
01:29:05,710 --> 01:29:09,305
You were whistling the very same
tune that you whistled at luncheon
1338
01:29:09,350 --> 01:29:11,500
I heard it quite distinctly
1339
01:29:11,550 --> 01:29:13,666
So don't deny you were in the lane
1340
01:29:13,710 --> 01:29:15,189
Unless you can give a good account
1341
01:29:15,190 --> 01:29:16,668
of what you were doing there...
1342
01:29:16,710 --> 01:29:18,746
You're not sticking us for this murder
1343
01:29:18,790 --> 01:29:22,624
We know a thing or two about you
as well, Mr Plain Percival Period
1344
01:29:22,670 --> 01:29:25,662
How dare you!
1345
01:29:25,710 --> 01:29:27,348
Get out of my house!
1346
01:29:27,390 --> 01:29:28,789
Go on! Out!
1347
01:29:28,830 --> 01:29:31,185
Think you can blackmail me?
1348
01:29:31,230 --> 01:29:33,903
We'll just see about that!
I'm calling the police!
1349
01:29:34,990 --> 01:29:37,458
Don't imagine you're going to stop me!
1350
01:29:37,510 --> 01:29:40,741
Like you stopped poor, old Harold Cartell
1351
01:29:51,590 --> 01:29:52,818
Chief Inspector,
1352
01:29:52,870 --> 01:29:55,942
you're going to think me
an awful old shirker, I know
1353
01:29:55,990 --> 01:30:00,108
But I feel there's something
I should really have told you
1354
01:30:00,150 --> 01:30:02,141
about last night
1355
01:30:28,030 --> 01:30:29,429
There we are!
1356
01:30:29,470 --> 01:30:33,065
Now then, what were we talking about?
1357
01:30:33,110 --> 01:30:34,987
Thank you, I never take sugar
1358
01:30:35,030 --> 01:30:37,021
Not even this once?
1359
01:30:39,550 --> 01:30:41,347
Isn't that...?
1360
01:30:41,390 --> 01:30:42,982
It's Troy's
1361
01:30:46,790 --> 01:30:48,826
Do you have children, Miss Troy?
1362
01:30:49,610 --> 01:30:51,509
No. No, I don't
1363
01:30:51,550 --> 01:30:53,780
No, I didn�t think so
1364
01:30:55,070 --> 01:30:58,699
If you did, though, you�d
appreciate the difficulties
1365
01:30:59,710 --> 01:31:01,268
The pitfalls
1366
01:31:01,310 --> 01:31:06,065
What a hopelessly
heartbreaking task it can be
1367
01:31:08,110 --> 01:31:10,863
Trying to keep them on
the straight and narrow
1368
01:31:11,790 --> 01:31:13,940
There's so many hazards along the way
1369
01:31:13,990 --> 01:31:18,780
So many temptations
and external influences
1370
01:31:20,230 --> 01:31:21,948
Girls, especially
1371
01:31:21,990 --> 01:31:24,106
They get to a certain age,
1372
01:31:24,150 --> 01:31:27,460
and you know what rears its ugly head
1373
01:31:29,110 --> 01:31:32,785
So many meddlers and
busybodies interfering
1374
01:31:33,710 --> 01:31:36,349
They become prey to jackals
1375
01:31:36,390 --> 01:31:38,847
Every scallywag and
philanderer within miles
1376
01:31:38,848 --> 01:31:41,305
starts sniffing around
1377
01:31:42,910 --> 01:31:45,708
Men dangle temptation in front of a girl
1378
01:31:47,310 --> 01:31:47,791
Lying,
1379
01:31:48,245 --> 01:31:50,178
scheming,
1380
01:31:50,230 --> 01:31:53,108
turning her head with false promises
1381
01:32:22,670 --> 01:32:24,467
They're charlatans!
1382
01:32:24,510 --> 01:32:26,228
And humbugs!
1383
01:32:27,310 --> 01:32:29,221
They don't know what love means!
1384
01:32:29,270 --> 01:32:31,989
And we, who really love,
1385
01:32:32,030 --> 01:32:34,908
who know that it means sacrifice and...
1386
01:32:34,950 --> 01:32:36,906
and self-denial,
1387
01:32:36,950 --> 01:32:40,181
who have to clean up the
mess when it's all over
1388
01:32:41,070 --> 01:32:43,061
How can we compete?
1389
01:32:58,950 --> 01:33:01,384
How can we keep hold of what we love?
1390
01:33:02,510 --> 01:33:07,823
How can we stop the charlatans and
the humbugs from taking it away?
1391
01:33:41,030 --> 01:33:43,225
I'll take that, Connie
1392
01:33:47,030 --> 01:33:48,179
Connie...
1393
01:33:51,750 --> 01:33:54,905
There's no point now
1394
01:34:12,310 --> 01:34:13,902
How can we...
1395
01:34:13,950 --> 01:34:15,463
keep hold?
1396
01:34:20,270 --> 01:34:22,628
How can we stop?
1397
01:34:52,790 --> 01:34:56,285
Never in my all life have I met
anybody so confoundedly stubborn as you!
1398
01:34:56,330 --> 01:34:57,918
I found Leonard and Moppet, didn�t I?
1399
01:34:57,957 --> 01:35:00,511
And the proof it was them
signing Andrew�s forgeries!
1400
01:35:00,570 --> 01:35:03,449
What were you doing walking
into a murder investigation!
1401
01:35:03,490 --> 01:35:04,670
I didn�t know it was
a murder investigation!
1402
01:35:04,750 --> 01:35:07,708
Nothing any says makes a bit of difference
1403
01:35:07,750 --> 01:35:10,178
You just get an idea in
your head and off you go!
1404
01:35:10,210 --> 01:35:11,404
Well, I'm sorry!
1405
01:35:11,405 --> 01:35:12,699
How could you be so reckless?
1406
01:35:12,750 --> 01:35:14,786
- I'm sorry!
- I warned you to stay out of it
1407
01:35:14,830 --> 01:35:17,981
- Sorry!
- Is that all you can say, "Sorry"?
1408
01:35:20,870 --> 01:35:22,098
Sorry
1409
01:35:25,590 --> 01:35:27,899
Damn it, Troy, you could have been killed
1410
01:35:36,830 --> 01:35:39,902
The transport's here for Miss Cartell, sir
1411
01:35:40,830 --> 01:35:42,183
Thanks, Brer
1412
01:36:12,510 --> 01:36:15,229
Why, Mr Alleyn? Her own brother
1413
01:36:16,510 --> 01:36:18,324
I suppose she couldn�t bear the idea
1414
01:36:18,325 --> 01:36:20,139
of her precious Moppet going to prison
1415
01:36:20,190 --> 01:36:21,828
Pitiful
1416
01:36:21,870 --> 01:36:23,667
