Faster! Faster!

Uncle John,look at our horse He's winning!

Fantastic! Bravo!

He's still first, Bravo!

He's won He did it!

Congratulations Jane - Thank you

A lesson Donald

We should learn not to bet on longshots quite so often

With women,you're much luckier

With all except you

Sorry Peter,but I'm mad about your bride to be

Then our new family will require a new doctor

Very wise of you,

I must warn you that Doctor Wells writes big bills as amusement

Talking of finances, would you Uncle John?

Oh but of course - Thank you

Hello Peter - Oh Ted Burke

I have to speak to him for a moment

Excuse me dear

Do you know, Donald How come peter is so friendly

with the chief inspector of Scotland yard

No idea, it cant hurt though

Having a policeman for a friend

Hello Burke - Hello Peter

Since when did you start following the horses?

Actually I prefer football, Real Madrid and Birmingham play today

At the moment 6 to 2 favour the Spaniards

But it's not over yet

What brings you here then? - I'm here on business

There is a lot of money here In banknotes

Ah of course You're on the lookout for that forger

In the past week, a great many five pound notes have turned up

watch out you don't get stuck Peter - Thanks for the tip

Quite alright

What's happening? Another goal for the Spaniards

See you tomorrow? - I'll be there

Your wedding is one thing I'm not going to miss

You're lucky Jane

Thank you - You got top odds, Eighty for Ten

I'll try my luck again - You dreamer

Her Majesty - The Queen

Peter, I�m betting on this race,come along - Not right now

Donald... I'm not sure I'm doing the right thing

I love Jane But I don't want to bring her any sorrow

That's a lot of nonsense

By tomorrow you're the envy of all London You're a wonderful couple indeed

You're to be envied my friend

What is it Jane?

You look worried

The lucky bride should be... - I'm not the lucky bride

I don't think I'll go through with it My love is not enough for him

Oh you must stop this Jane Don't be so foolish dear

Before she died, I promised your mother I'd look after you

And now you've found Peter, Peter is the finest,the best of men

Your Mother would have said... - Yes,yes of course

Look Jane

I'm getting old,I'm not too well

I want to see you happily married

Why does Peter want to marry me? I can't believe he loves me so

How can you feel that way?

He'd never have asked you to marry him if he didn't love you

Hello Jane - Hello Basil

Mr Leith - Hello Hale

I just wanted to have a look at the blushing bride here

Lovely as ever

Listen Jane,why don't you go dancing with me for the last time

Basil.. you're impossible - No more so than your fianc�, Peter Clifton

I must admit,I never thought you'd marry him

We might have had so much good fun my dear

Never mind your foolishness Hale, it might not amuse Peter

Well..

Good day Clifton,I've just made my last effort to take your fianc� away

It's impossible I'm afraid

Still,I expect an invitation to attend your wedding

Don't count on it Hale!

Give up will you Hale - Give up..

Why? I might hold a trump you know

Then play it Don't talk

All things in good time... my dear boy

Five pounds on lord Byron Thanks

Come over here,this note is forged on the reverse side it's stamped

Dr Donald Wells

This is certainly his poorest job to date They've been getting progressively worse

That hundred dollar note last year wasn't too bad

Come look at this one

Here, here and here

Remarkably careless work, for such an expert - No doubt he's getting over confident

Not very likely

I see you still cant resist jumping to easy conclusions

But your deduction is incorrect Stanley

You see our forger is only a man

He has to have some off days, we all do

He has his weaknesses

Yes that�s true of course

But how do we explain such obvious carelessness?

Perhaps he's...

And what if this five pound note isn't his work?

This note is his work as sure as two and two equals four

That I can prove to you

Simply compare this five pound note with the

ten pound note, he made three years ago

It was a fine job, but it revealed a flaw on the left side

I'll pick it up Stanley

The press treat him like a film star

Yes, you see the mistakes on this note are

almost identical with that one of three years ago

Conclusive prove its the same man

Sorry Stanley, it can hardly be called conclusive

It could very well be coincidence - I can't accept that Chief Inspector

No, I put my bet on my theory Its his work alright,I'm sure

And if his work is this poor a clumsy forger is easier to catch

And this great forger could fall into our hands

In time Stanley

But when a criminal knows he's made mistakes

he becomes savage, and much more dangerous

It takes over his thinking

And I'm absolutely sure

he would resort to murder if needed

Ah Bert,I'm glad Scotland Yard could be here - Have no fear Peter

The whisky and I agree splendidly

Oh Doctor,do you have a moment to spare? This is inspector Rouper,my associate

One question he'd like to ask you - This bank note,did you use it?

It has your name stamped on it - Yes I could have

I did bet, only yesterday A five pound note, it's true

But who knows if it's the same one

In any case, you did pass it

So? - It's forged

How did it come into your possession? - Yes, I recall

A patient, he paid his bill with it - Where is the patient?

Well he's right here... Mr Clifton

Mr Clifton, where did you get it?

That question is difficult, It could be a bank

I don't keep a record book I'm not use to my bills being stamped

That's enough Rouper...

Mr Clifton will inform us if he learns anything, come on..

I don't like it Peter...

Isn't the Chief inspector supposed to be your friend?

As your guest,he should have tried to prevent this embarrassment

Come on,let's get a drink

An inspector from Scotland Yard here on business could be ill at ease,

but as a guest you're welcome - Thank you,but you know I don't drink

I though you would have joined me in a toast to the capture of the forger

Tonight,yes Chief Inspector - Of course,cheers

Inspector Rouper behaves as if you forged that note yourself

Why its possible for anyone to have such a banknote and not know it

This forger seems a very talented fellow indeed

Unfortunate,such talent the bank of England could use

I prefer talent,did you know Peter is a copper plate engraving genius?

Yes,Uncle John let me take a look at some of his etchings

It's a hobby,I do very little

If I was blessed with half your talent Peter,

I might have done paintings that were acknowledged

Tell me, have you found that printing plate that you borrowed from Peter some time ago?

I'm afraid not,

and I believe you're mistaken Peter, I'm sure I gave them all back

But I'm not worried at all, if you find it, good... if not, no loss

My goodness,it's hale

Well here I am... There you are...

I do hope you're having fun

Now a toast,I wish you both a jolly wedding night

And a house full of little kiddies

As it says in the bible, be fruitful and multiply

And I will drink to the women, girls everywhere by the millions,

Poor but pretty,and marry for money

He's drunk,no Peter

I know exactly what's happening here

You gave up your affection for me, so your poor stupid sick uncle

could stop being a kitsch postcard Picasso, and have security and comfort

Your motives are admirable

For you.. - This is for you!

Better open the door

I'm sorry Jane...

I must say this,your wedding day has certainly been full of surprises.

May your lives together continue to be as exciting

To get to Longford Castle by daylight, we have to leave right away,excuse me

What luck you have dear, that awful castle he chooses for a honeymoon

Mr Hale,you have a message

Who gave this to you? - I didn't recognise him

Goodbye,thanks for coming...

Stop! Peter Clifton!

I caught you before you got away Stop! You can't avoid me

I'm aware of that I've been through all this before

I'm Mrs Anderson,of course he's never told you about me

We will not hold a discussion here We can talk when I return to town

One moment!

I want this girl to know the man she's going to live with

Calm down and hold your tongue!

You're guilty of stealing his inheritance,

the birthright of your own brother

She's off her head, come..

Don't believe a word of it, the woman is mad!

Stop! If the day comes and I think you're getting away with any of this

I'll be ready to shoot you down like a filthy dog!

You better watch what you're saying you hysterical fool

It is foolish Mrs Anderson...

What you are saying can have value for the police,

and shouldn't be publicly announced like this

Why are you butting in?

I'm a friend of the accused, Peter Clifton

Why didn't you tell me you had a brother?

I didn't want to bother you with the affairs of my family

I was wrong,it's my fault

What she said,is it true? - Of course not!

Sorry,I'm a bit upset I suppose That stupid scene with the banknote

Those men from Scotland Yard, then that scene with Mrs Anderson, have me on edge

Perhaps we would have been better off with a honeymoon in Rhodesia

Do you have a goldmine there? - Why do you ask that?

Just that,you're a rich man uncle John says you're quite wealthy

That money was left to me by my father There's no mystery

Why did you decide on Longford Castle, do you own it?

No, I simply rented it for a few weeks - Ever been there?

Yes, uncle John recommended it, you'll find it comfortable

I hope we're done with those nerve racking surprises at last, like Mrs Anderson..

Don't worry...

I'm not going to let my family problems accompany us.

Especially not now...

He's coming, go!

Why?,he can't see in through the mirror

I told you to go!

Ahh, Mr Basil Hale And what can I do for you?

Here,you told me to come

I know.. I know

You wanted to speak to me, Mr Blonberg?

Yes,to warn you once more, stay away from Jane

Why? She attracts me, and I like the game

It's my private affair anyway

As long as it doesn't interfere with business,

I don't care how many women you chase

But with Jane, I have my own plans, is that clear?

I hear you..

You can go now Well,what is it?

Some more cash - 200 pounds just three days ago?

A shabby 200 pounds...

It's not my affair if you can't manage your money

Now get out of here before I get angry Out!

Is there something I can get you Sir? No thank you James, that'll be all

You seem to be in rather a strange mood, you don't look very happy

Really?

I'm afraid this isn't really the time to talk about it,

but I want you to know, that I plan to deposit

100.000 pounds in an account for you

That's generous

It's just money.. - It's a fortune, really

Apparently you think it's enough to buy a woman

Jane...

It's most convenient for you to buy a woman,isn't it?

Except for one thing,

you may never buy my love

Jane,I know all that,but...

I love you...

As my husband,you have rights

I want only what you are prepared to give me

Then I'm afraid we have nothing more to say

Goodnight - Goodnight

Who's there please? - It's me madam

I have been waiting - Thank you

Who live in this room before? - Oh nobody lived here

Why not? It's a nice room - I don't know

You must know who owns the house...

An old gentleman who lives abroad, if he's still among the living

The manager is Blonberg

Sometimes he comes and stays here for a while madam, but I don't see him

What,you mean you've never seen him?

No madam, when Mr Blonberg comes, he brings his own staff, a filthy bunch

They leave the place like a pig sty,the filthy pigs

Where are you when Mr Blonbergs here?

I stay with my brother in London, we're all given leave with full pay

Is there anything else I can do for you madam?

No thank you

Then goodnight - Goodnight

Peter!

Peter! Peter!

Peter! Peter!

Yes,what is it? Jane!

Oh Peter,a man was in my room just now,

I'm so frightened,where were you

I've been in your room looking - A man in your room you know who...

No, I thought he came in from outside and then I thought maybe it was you

But I was down here in... the hall,

you wait here, I'll be right back

I've looked everywhere, I saw no one

Jane, you'll catch a cold, come up to your room

No, thank you, I'm all right

Please connect me with London west end 4316

You can't imagine how disturbed I am

Is it at all likely Peter, that the man she saw was you?

That's what�s so un-nerving,

I have no idea whether I was in her room last night or not

I think when she called out, I was... downstairs

Help me Wells, I must know the truth - We will see

But In your case, I don't think you would have forgotten

I recall your father had an illness, that you fear was hereditary

That doesn't mean you must be sick too.

You must believe that you're well and normal

You must be upset,but I think your fears are unfounded

After all,didn't professor Clores clearly say so?

And he's a respected colleague

Do you know Anna where the keys are for the upstairs room?

Well Mr Clifton had them, but I... - It's alright,I can find them

Did you find the keys?

Oh yes, one question Anna, when did Mr Blonberg last come?

The beginning of April, madam

Stayed long? - No, only one night

Most of the time, Mr Blonberg comes in the evening and leaves in the morning

Thank you

Yes of course Peter, if it helps you relax, I'll stay and be glad to

Thank you Donald, I'm in your debt of course

Oh, you have company

Good morning Donald - Good morning

I've prevailed on Donald to spend a few days with us

We have some matters we have to discuss

Yes, I ought to give my Marjorie a call

The telephone is in the hall - Oh thanks

Say hello to Marjorie for us - Of course

Peter, there's something I must show you Is this that lost plate?

I found it in your room in a cabinet - You've gone through my things!

Why shouldn't I? - Jane excuse me, I'm shaky and nervous

In my things you say?

It seems uncle John gave all the plates back then

I guess it was packed into my luggage somehow

I've barely left London, and my Marjorie is stepping out

Well I would say any tired marriage needs something new eh?

Or it'll get dull

A man sometimes meets the right person, a little too late

Oh but Marjorie is right for you

Yes of course, but knowing you, I draw parallels

I thought you were Peters friend

True,but imagine what I would do if I were not his friend

What you would do, is of no interest

Hello Jane, I hope you're not frightened to see me

You are mad, to risk getting another beating...

What do you want?

I brought Marjorie here, and I knew I would see you meanwhile

How are you, are you contented? No worries?

None of your business!

You have to know, although you're his wife now.

I love you Jane

Leave me alone, get lost.. vanish!

Alright, I will... lots of luck

Of course you know that Clifton married you under a false name

What do you mean by that?

Didn't he tell you that Wellerson is his name?

Wellerson?

And of course you don't know why Dr Wells is staying here with him

Because Peter got from his father, not just money

he also inherited his madness

That's a lie!

That Wellerson was mad, and died a prisoner in Dartmoor

After he murdered to innocent victims for no reason

Now Peter calls himself Clifton,he's mad! That's why..

You liar...

Don't believe me? Just ask Dr Wells

I think you should realise what kind of man your stupid uncle chose for you

I warn you Jane, you're playing with a madman

Hale! What are you looking for here?

Peter..

Do you dare to come here?

I thought I ought to open Jane's eyes for her

One moment, Hale..

All of this nonsense, we'll talk about later on..

But I'm going to straighten you out now, for something else

This must be a joke..

You sneaked into my wife�s room last night

It's time you learned not to insult Jane, and I'm going to give you the lesson

Peter!

Peter! Careful!

Hale! What are you doing?

Now Jane, go! - Donald... Donald!

You might need this knife when you learn how to use it

I'm not yet finished with you Peter Wellerson!

But I'm through with you

How come that Hale is here? - He brought me out here

You have a special gift for the complicating things

Blinded by love, I must look after the fellow

Peter, you were absolutely marvellous I really thought that you might kill him

Next time I could do just that - It was awful..

What stories did he tell you? - I just can't talk about it now

Forget about Jane,

of course I'm nuts about her, but that isn't why I came here

What would a playboy like you want, other than that?

You don't know me Doctor, that's too bad...

How about I could tell you things, that'll leave you speechless I'll bet

Longford Castle is a fantastic place,

it could be where our forger friend plays his game

Surprised? - Yes, very surprised

If I wanted to, I could reveal his name

Every now and then, Peter seems so strange, dear

Peter isn't insane,if that's what you mean

No dear, but his father was. The scars on his face might remind you,

his father threw acid in that face when Peter was a very young boy

Please, I've heard enough

Yes yes, of course, perhaps he just pretends madness

Nonsense, after all, I'm his wife now

Does Donald ever talk to you about Peters illness?

No no, remember,a doctor never talks about his patients at any time

well Jane, are you a contented wife now?

Excuse me, but I could relax now, if... if I knew you were happy

Why?

Restless young wives attract men, who are restless after years of marriage

I don't understand - I speak of my husband

Now listen Peter, I've been thinking, your recent thinking lacks clarity

Now for example,you don't know for sure, if you were in Jane�s room or not

Understand? - Yes

And the etchings you do.. Of course,they're excellent works

But that's not unusual for schizophrenics... I mean that,a talent like you have

I can't say for sure, but I can say that Hale,

thinks... you're the forger

That's absurd! - Everything has to be considered

Donald, am I imagining that I inherited my fathers illness or am I really...

Take it easy now..

I'll give you an injection later, just to calm you

Yes, fine Donald

Is that you Peter? - No it's me, Jane

I'm sorry Jane, I thought that you were still up

This castle, I can't think of it as home at all

You might go sleep in your house then - I would, he doesn't want to

And how is Peter? - I think he's sleeping

Donald gave him something to sleep.. - Oh good..

You didn't know that before Donald came here, Thank you

He had a very poor practise in South London,

we weren't very well off then

Matches are over there.. - Thank you

He met Mr Blonberg in London, a hypochondriac

Mr Blonberg, the manager of the castle?

- Yes, that's possible, he dabbles in everything

Then he loaned Donald a lot of cash,

we moved to the West End, and things looked up

Yes, Donald�s good at making impressions

Minds that are sick,

need a doctor they can have faith in,that's all

What was that!

What... what was that awful scream?

No! no! Turn on the light first!

What is it?

Nothing.. - Then what was it?

Maybe just an owl

- No no, that wasn't an owl, that was a lunatic

Yes... yes, a lunatic

Donald once took me into an asylum for lunatics

The things that I saw and heard there..

Shrieks and cries, a man cried out just as if he..

What was that? It's at the door!

I'll find out..

No, don't open that door, I beg you don't! - No ones there at all..

I'm terrified...

Jane, come with me to my rooms will you... Surely,if it'll make you feel better

Yes..

Are you really so frightened? - How frightened I am, you can't imagine

One moment, I'll see if anyone�s in my room

No, Jane, thank you - Sleep well..

Peter.. Peter..

Hale... you swine!

Jane, what are you doing out here in the garden?

I saw you from the window.. - Hale!

Is he dead?

Yes, he's dead

Skull crushed,with a hammer I guess, or something

Is Peter awake?

I have no idea, I haven't been to his room yet

We'll go to him,we must touch nothing here 'till the police come

Open the curtains will you..

What the... What's wrong with him?

I imagine it's the injection you gave him - Yes, but it should have worn off

Peter! hello.. Peter!

Oh.. my poor head, it's going to burst wide open

He's half dressed, where are his other clothes?

That's not important now

Donald,that was a strong injection you gave me

I feel awful..

Yes, it will soon go away

You look at me so strangely, what do you want of me?

You should have a sedative

Peter, someone was killed in the garden

Killed? Who?

Jane found the body, Basil Hale...

Hale... was murdered?

Do you know who...

Drink..

A London newspaper...

Yes, printed at 4 o'clock But the body was found at about 7

That means they got an early report

Perhaps it could be the murderer himself

Alright, let's get the stretcher aboard and get moving!

Burke! You're here, that's a bit of a surprise..

Well, I don't know about that, Peter

I asked the Chief Inspector to come out You know why..

I've no idea..

But Peter, don't you recall? Basil Hale was Brutally murdered

Yes Peter, we told you about it - Hale was murdered, when?

Last night, probably just after 12

How do you know it was after midnight? Anyway, I slept through it..

Just before 12, Hale gave Scotland Yard a call

He claimed that he knew Longford Castle was the place that the forger worked

He said that a room hidden behind that bookcase,

had a complete forgery operation in it

Forgery here, that bookcase? - Yes, Hale was very specific,come on

Hello, Rouper, what brings you here?

You don't mind I hope, Dr wells asked me to come

Yes, two inspectors can find twice as much

Very good, let's check that room

Well look, now that's a surprise

Our boy is a fast mover..

There's now doubt about it, acids have been used here

Yes, you can see where the printing press was fastened

Do you believe the forger was in here? - Once again, he's too fast for us

He is clever

Yes,but there's a murder,

for which I have our man, Mr Clifton

You're not serious Inspector - I am

No, he is not serious,

Please ring up Scotland Yard and find out who informed them of the murder

I already did that

The telephone operator of the local exchange,

said it was Mr Clifton on the line

He recognised the voice from previous calls

Even so Rouper, we can't bring in Mr Clifton

until we find the weapon with which Hale was killed

We've found no such weapon,have we?

Is it a wonder that the weapon is missing?

Do you really expect, the murderer has it in his room?

He might think we're that naive

Who's there? - It's me, Peter

Why do you lock the door? - No reason

You're packing?

You changed my clothes last night..

A bloody shirt doesn't suit you. Your hands had to be washed too

I don't remember that I really killed that man

I've been terrified of doing something like...

My father..

Jane...

I did an awful thing,getting you into this

Jane, you can still go away

I'm your wife,and I won't just give you up..

Thank you Jane..

There must be no secrets between us - Should I tell Burke everything?

No, don't tell him yet, you can tell him about the fight, but no more...

Good Jane, you go back to London with Burke

He said he would take you

Oh, but it's here I want to be, dear

No Jane, I must handle this alone

But it means so much that you understand

That wasn't much of a honeymoon - I might just go back tomorrow

Peter loves you, and you? - You have to ask?

In London, they feel his money attracted you

That's partially true of course

But my feelings towards Peter changed when I knew of his danger

Funny, Isn't it?

I can understand, and I'm glad for Peter

It doesn't look good for him at all

The circumstantial evidence is against him

Too bad the murder weapon didn't turn up

It could change our entire approach

You tell me now, you wouldn't know where the hammer might be?

I? How should I?

My dear young woman, you want another thousand pounds?

That's a lot of money - I'm not worth a lot of money?

Once my legacy is straightened out, there will be millions in my hands

It won't go that far now Mrs Anderson - What are you inferring?

You can thank your imbecilic son

Oh but Basil is a clever young fellow You just have something against him!

Several times I warned him to leave Jane Clifton alone

Still, he went out to Longford Castle!

Oh, but you don't understand

He's a born gentleman who does what he wants to do

Come here, you don't seem to read the newspapers

Basil Hale, murdered on castle grounds?

Dead! dead! Peter Wellerson did it!

That beast.. monster... murderer!

My son,my son...

May I please speak to Longford Castle Who is this?

Oh it's you, listen..

Good afternoon - Good afternoon

Thank you

Take it to my room please

I'll unpack the suitcase myself - Yes madam

A friend of Mr Clifton is here to see you

My Uncle? - I don't know who it is

Goodbye Mr Burke, and thanks for the ride

I'll wait here for you, if I may.. - Of Course.. bring some tea for Mr Burke

My name is Radlowe Yes?

I am Peter's legal adviser

I've been reading all the morning papers Embarrassing of course..

I decided to get right over here, and not waste any time

Hale is responsible for it all He's as crazy as his mother

A stupid old woman, Mrs Anderson - Anderson?

She disrupts my entire office staff when she shows up

Excellent arrangements have been made for her

But she's always short, money .. always the same

Mrs Anderson is Hale's mother?

In that case,Peter... - Yes..

Annoying situation, I think someone knows too much

This is not good for Peter

I'll have to do something to clear Peter of this suspicion

If they read his fathers testament correctly at least,it'll help

It's a mistake for Peter, not to make everything public

Please have him call me immediately

There's no reason for him to hide anything

Goodbye Madam - Goodbye

That was Peter's solicitor, what did he want?

I missed what he meant,

His talk was confusing, he said something must be done now

You're so right Mrs Clifton, the whole situation is confused

But understand,that in theory, I'm always on duty

But I have to relax once in a while

And since ten minutes ago,

I'm a civilian,and a very good friend of Peter's

And so I'd like to talk about a hammer at this time

And of a lost suit And of course, the bloody shirt

Why mention it to me?

If I were sure that they were in the hands of a person who is peter's friend

It would mean that I could relax a little

The tea - Thank you, I'll take it

I have a weakness for tea

And a weakness for the poor..

Therefore if you had a secondhand suit.. - Please sit down

Thank you,well if you had an old suit, and an old shirt..

I could make very good use of them

Tools too,

few criminals can get honest jobs for lack of good tools

Don't forget Mrs Clifton,

Inspector Rouper is looking for used articles, for his own poor

So if you... if you have something you have to get rid of...

Then I would rather give it to you, than anyone

That's very good,you know that Mr Rouper could show up with a search warrant soon

Can you imagine how the police search? - No..

Then I must show you how we proceed

Hello, taxi! Taxi...

You wait here!

Stop! Who are you? - My name is Miller, I'm an organist,

What do you want? - Sorry..

Do you know the combination? - No..

The code word for it is just this,it's Jane

So many secrets Peter and I shared together

He's only afraid.. - Afraid of what?

And there it is.. - What is it?

This is a book that Inspector Rouper would like to find

A notebook - A notebook? I didn't know about this

Neither did I, it's a diary he kept

You'd think Peter wouldn't be so careless

That indicates 240 hundred dollar bills, United States currency

All very well made, and posted to Baltimore. It's awful..

And here,700,000 on the Swiss National Bank,

excellent plate,only two mis-prints

And so forth,and so forth, and so forth.. - Then,it is true

I'm sure I better put this with the old clothes,

which I'm sure you will give me without delay,Mrs Clifton

Whom can you trust? You must trust someone now

At the moment,I don't feel on duty, a private individual, hmm?

Wait right here - Yes

Here are the old clothes - Yes

Inspector Rouper from Scotland Yard

Sorry Mrs Clifton, I have to discharge an unpleasant duty

Unless the Chief Inspector has already completed it

No, this is a social call, do your duty my friend

My dear Rouper,

I have to carry my own laundry to be cleaned, a bachelor you know

Goodbye Mrs Clifton - Goodbye Mr Burke

Here's a search warrant,now show me to your husbands room,if you please

Follow me

Hello Mary,is my wife at home? Yes, I want to speak to her

Yes Jane, not encouraging I'm afraid

The professors opinion is that my illness can strike again

The professor is guessing, I don't believe it!

Oh, by the way,your lawyer Mr Radlowe was here,

he wants you to call

I have no idea what he wants, except it's important

It's now nearly six, I'll leave here by seven,

I hope to see you by 9 o' clock

I can't wait... Goodbye..

Excuse me professor,

I must ring up my solicitor - Of course

What I wanted to say... - A moment,after he makes his call

Hello,Mr Radlowe,this is Peter Clifton, you said to call

A telegram I sent to your London address is waiting for you

Things are not going well - What shall we do?

I shouldn't continue to try to keep things quiet?

Very well then... In any case,I'll go to London

Yes,when you're ready,let me know. Goodbye

Important? - Maybe

Radlowe wants me to make a voluntary statement

On what?

I'm not really sure,

it has to do with the testament of my father though

Testament of your father?

Yes,Radlowe wants me to do it quickly

Don't be upset my dear,Mr Hale was no loss, a miserable tramp

However,Peter worries me a little

I feel responsible for you marrying him - You don't need to feel that way

Well of course you know I was a bit upset, worried.. My illness,

I would have enjoyed travelling south with you

No longer to be a postcard Picasso, to give it all up

Oh,don't say that Uncle John..

Your pictures have always been wonderful to me

It's not important

The important thing is you and Peter Fortunately,you don't love him

Well,isn't that so?

Now listen Uncle John,

I've been getting to know peter very well

He's my husband,and I'll stand by him

You mean you're in love? Tell me,are you?

Yes.. - Why,that's wonderful

Well it's wonderful, if it wasn't for this trouble

Now if Peter wasn't.. wasn't completely... - You mean he's insane?

No,please don't mention it again

Oh by the way,here's that plate that was lost

Oh,where was it?

In Longford Castle - What did you say,Longford Castle?

Yes,somehow it seems to have slipped into Peter's luggage

You see.. I said I gave all the printing plates back to Peter

But a thought occures to me that's frightening

I've been told by Wells, that at Longford Castle

a secret room was discovered

And considering that Peter is such an expert engraver, Well...

What do you mean?

That Peter really is a schizophrenic, leading a double life

Peter in this life with you And Peter the shrewd and ruthless forger..

Oh Uncle,stop it.. It's just too absurd

I am sorry my darling, I don't want you to be hurt

But we must except the conclusions that exist

Do you hear me? Answer me Peter Clifton alias Blonberg

It was my son you killed,your brother!

You murderer! You brutal murderer!

I'll kill you,I'll get revenge

Hello,excuse her please - Who is this?

It's the Doctor,she's sick

Hello.. - Don't let it worry you my dear

Mrs Anderson is insane,she made it very clear at the wedding party

Who isn't mad now? Even I might be

She thinks Peter is the one who killed Basil her son

Basil Hale was her son? - Yes,it's all so confusing Uncle

My leather coat please

Tell me,what do you know of Blonberg? - He's a broker,that's all I know

You know he's the manager of Longford Castle - Yes,but is he involved?

I'm convinced that Blonberg has a lot of answers for us

And I'm going to see him in person

Oh yes,my name is Blonberg,

I'm honoured by your visit Mrs Clifton

You manage Longford Castle, I want the name of the owner

Be seated here,please

The owner of Longford Castle is an old fellow who lives in Florence,

he's never been seen here at all

It seems strange doesn't it

We transmit his money to his Paris bank - And his name,please tell me that

I know it sure,but I cannot just give it out,you see miss

If the gentleman said not to

Another question, do you know a Mrs Anderson?

No,this name I've never heard,

oh, but to be sure I'll ask my employees if they know the name

No,you don't have to,

you personally do not know her? - No

Then excuse all the questions - It was no trouble

May I show you... - Thank you,I know the way

Very well then.. Good day..

Hello Mrs Clifton - Oh good day Chief Inspector Burke

Did you buy any real estate? - You were watching me?

If you'll allow me, I'll keep a bit of an eye on you

Oh,and the man who owns Longford castle is Branes

You know you should have asked me, for his name

I'll take you home,come along

Oh, I have to tell you something that might be unpleasant Mrs Clifton

About Peter?

That depends,it's about the clothing you gave me for the poor people

I found myself in the middle of Westminster Bridge,

when I felt like a cigarette suddenly

Would you like one? - Thank you

Does Peter smoke these too? - Not these..

So, I put the parcel down on the railing of the bridge

And then, I must have leaned against it,or something

And then it dropped into the water, Sank like a stone,

I imagine it was the tools that made it sink

I just can't figure you out Mr Burke.. You're more puzzling all the time

I'm just doing my job

Are you Mr Clifton? - No,Mrs Clifton is here

A Telegram - Hello,Mrs Clifton

Yes? - A Telegram for you

From Peter? - No,for Peter

I would still open it up. Allow me please..

Come to Sydenham,document 21 ready at 3 Go to the police tomorrow

Signed Radlowe - I guess Peter didn't call Radlowe

Document goes to the police.. A bit strange...

It's well past 8, shouldn't Peter be here now?

I don't understand it, I better ring up Longford Castle

Longford Castle...

No Mrs Clifton,your husband isn't here now,he left

Yes, I'd say it's been 2 hours - Thank you Anna

I don't understand, Peter left 2 hours ago

I don't like it much either..

I'm off to Sydenham to see that lawyer - I'll go too..

No no,if you stay here it'll be better - Why must I,any reason?

Alright, if you wish..

It's very dark around here, do you know the house sir?

There's Peter's car,it's right there

How come his car is here?

The smell of this is foul, please see if the key is in it,and wait right here

Yes, the key is there.. - I'm not surprised..

But what does all this mean?

Can you drive it? - Yes I can,but..

It's good we're here,

we'll drive around the corner, we have to be careful

Yes but I...

You wait there,and don't get scared when I come back

Open the car door, quick!

Peter my dear,what happened,is he..? - He's unconcious,but not hurt

Drive home at once,be sure you're not seen bringing him in

And listen,Peter was not here at all - Yes

Are you Mr Clifton? Mr Radlowe is waiting for you

This way please, Mr clif...

Call the nearest police station

Have them send the homicide squad immediately

What are you waiting for?

All his notes are missing, he had just started on the seventh page

If we knew what was on the last pages,

we would know the murderer of Radlowe and Hale

Rouper,you're alert today.. - Think so, eh?

The housemaid has told us, Radlowe had expected Mr Clifton to come

Think he was here? - Not him Rouper

Mr Clifton sent me instead,you see

These footprints are still wet

I protest!

This is a scandalous treatment for a good taxpayer

Indeed,I protest - We found this man loitering about

Hey watch it,what are you doing? Look out there!

Be careful! Who are you?

My name is stone,I'm a neighbour you see,I'm right next door

You live next door? - Yes sir

About an hour ago,did you see something? - Yes,yes I did

About an hour ago,I was walking peacefully with Socrates,

that's my dog you see

And I'm sure I saw a man go to the rear entrance here

You saw him? - Was he tall or short?

Rather tall - Was he relaxed or in a rush?

Erect or bent? Did he walk erect or not?

He was erect, and in a rush

I rather expected that kind of description

Can I go now? May I go sir?

May I please leave now? May I go?

Something there? - May I go now

This? Nothing important

He's asleep..

He was conscious briefly,he got out of the car,came in the house

Then he didn't remember a thing

Now I want to know Mr Burke,

at the house in Sydenham,what happened? - Mr Radlowe,was murdered

Oh god.. that means that he.. - Please don't ask any further questions

Interesting,lots of cash

I removed the hand written confession that was in his left shoe

Do the servants know Peter's here?

Yes,but I told them he's here a long while

Everything is turning out for the best

And that brings me now, to a fantastic performance

I believe I will consult a doctor now

A doctor? - Yes,a psychiatrist,a pretty clever one..

That is,one who believes in his own shrewdness

Goodnight - Goodnight

Oh you, Mr Burke..

Sorry to disturb you so late,but I must see your husband

Yes, please come in

Scotland Yard,in the middle of the night?

Yes,I'm playing a theatrical detective, doctor

I've been wanting to act like a television private eye,

but I hardly get the chance

Sorry, I've been working rather late My head aches awfully

I have the feeling doctor,that tomorrow, there will be a headache epidemic

Yes,that poor Peter Clifton, and Mrs Clifton,and Inspector Rouper,

And you too,doctor - I hope not

You better clear that up, come in

This'll be man to man my dear

Ah,modern art.. Here's where you treat your victims?

You have a spoecial sense of humour May I get you a drink,whisky?

No thank you..

I believe there's an admirable quotation on the subject from Kipling,no?

Accept the first drink,or something.. - Fine...

Who are you after,and for what?

I haven't decided, I haven't selected the quarry

But I'll soon pick on someone

You must have heard that,

an old lawyer was murdered - Radlowe murdered?

I mentioned Radlowe then?

I merely said that an old lawyer was killed,why Radlowe?

Well, I.. I know that he's Peter's lawyer

Yes, I heard them talking on the phone,yesterday

Peter was to go and meet him

Yes Doctor, Radlowe is the lawyer who was murdered

Stabbed by someone unknown

The murderer was seen by a neighbour, who gave us a complete description

A neighbour saw him you say?

Yes that's right A bit of luck eh?

You might say I came,

to avoid the possibilities of stories that would put

Peter near Radlowe's office last night - Yes Radlowe, it's awful

When and where did Peter leave you?

I would say we both left about 7 or so

He went to Radlowe - And you think,he's the murderer?

No,you mustn't have heard that I've said that,don't believe it!

That is,now that you say it, I'm not so sure...

Don't worry doctor, when we find the stiletto,

we'll have an easy time finding the murderer

You see,as a rule,the classic murderer,

doesn't leave evidence at the scene,

unless he uses it to throw suspicion on another

Sometimes a cigarette case is left too,

so idiots like me will think the man who owns it is a murderer

Yes, I have no idea what I can do for you

Well...

You know Peter had been doped,

you prefer to use morphine in these cases?

Are you accusing me of drugging Peter? - I haven't mentioned that

I mean that you've been acting not as Peter's friend,but for yourself

So, I think only of myself?

So what if I told you Peter confessed Hale's murder to me?

What would you do?

I would arrest you on the spot.. - Me?

And if I might add,what charge?

Among other things,

I would charge you with using a false banknote deliberately

Oh but, that note was Peter's

I would further accuse you of violating your oath as a doctor

Chief Inspector,you don't know what you're saying

I do Mr Wells.. I know what I say..

And I warn you, leave Peter Clifton alone

If you plan to rob him of his millions, just forget it

You were in Longford Castle when Basil Hale was murdered

And you... - I was in Longford Castle,yes,

but I haven't left my house since!

Admitted..

but before that,where were you?

Where were you between Longford Castle and your home?

You're beaten Wells...

even cigarettes that Peter doesn't use,

and false notebooks by the forger, wont be enough for you

Somebody will pay for the murders, you can be sure of that,

but not Peter Clifton

Goodnight

Where am I? - At home

At home...

Can you imagine how interesting it is,

to have a husband who can't remember what bed he's sleeping in?

It seems quite difficult to be my wife. - But it grows on you

Jane...

Don't underestimate Burke,

he collects evidence 'till he's sure

Then he strikes suddenly, like an explosion

At Scotland Yard he's known as the bomb

If he's protecting Peter Clifton then,

I'm sure the murderers name is in his hands.

It makes me nervous doctor

Oh don't act like a child,Rouper, why are so worried?

To the best of your knowledge you did your duty

What do you mean?

I simply did what ever you told me should be done

You told me Clifton murdered Hale, and more..

That you saw him in bed, all covered with blood

And his bloody clothes were in his London home

And there I would easily find them

And furthermore,you announced,

that in his safe I would find a very interesting notebook

But nothing seems to be true at all

Why don't you tell Scotland Yard that Clifton is an assassin?

I can still do it

What's that you say?

Mrs Anderson thinks Peter Clifton, the forger and Mr blonberg

Are one and the same person?

Yes,it's a fixed idea with her

In her closet,she has a loaded revolver hidden away

Leith,ah, doctor Donald Wells Well what happened?

Yes,I spoke to Jane but

But it wont be as easy to carry out the big plan, as we figured

Yes,oh sure good,

suppose that you can, bring Peter arround to commit himself,

and turn his money over to Jane to manage it

What then? We must let Jane into the plan,naturally

But she wont play along

Something has happened that we didn't think, would happen

You see Peter's her husband.

Of course you can try that, but don't get confident

Your appeal to the ladies is overrated Wells

Anderson wants to avenge her son, by shooting Peter Clifton dead

Shall I take the revolver away?

Let the Chief decide...

Good afternoon - Good afternoon

How's Peter? Asleep..

So, I must say,I'm glad I can see you alone - Please...

It was an awful thing last night

You mean Radlowe? - I mean Radlowe..

Then you believe that, Peter is involved?

Listen Jane...

The fact is,that now it's essential that Peter,

for himself,and in your interests too, have to face the truth

He will always have his trouble mentally

I'm afraid that the truth about these murders will come out some day

that would lead to a terrible public trial Truly it would be a scandal

You would suffer for it too So I think that its for the best

That Peter does something to avoid it

What do you suggest?

Jane, first both Peter and you,

must believe, I have just your best interests at heart

And then? - Yes then,

Peter must get an encompetance hearing

So that he will be declared insane and confined

It's not really so shocking..

He'll be confined for maybe a total of 5 maybe 6 years

In other words,Peter should declare himself insane

Just a formality,and we'll do it quietly It's the only way

Jane.. you understand that under the law

you would manage his fortune, and if you wish

you can decide to call on your uncle,

or... or me.. as trustee,as you wish, you must not ignore this

Jane.. your own social standing in London

As the wife of a sentenced murderer,

you would be an outcast...

So you say it's an absolute fact, that Peter is mentally ill?

Yes,all the symptoms speak for it

Its evident when he talks, he's constantly blinking

his entire behaviour..

These symptoms,would any specialist recognise them?

Yes of course

For example, Sir George Galthom or Dr Heinrich Strauss?

Naturally..

Such great doctors are very busy people

And also the great neuro psychiatrist, Sir Frederick Jackson?

Yes,without doubt

But jane,we can't afford to let too many others

in on the murders that are involved

I've been playing a little game Dr Wells

The 3 doctors that I've been talking about, came today for tea

And they have tested Peter, and talked with him

And each of these 3 doctors assured me

that Peter is just as sane as anyone can be

But,but it doesn't make sense

They're all mistaken obviously,

since Professor Cloors... - Is a charlatan

that you brought in to help put Peter in an institution

I'm on to your tricks Dr wells

I don't understand..

Now I would appreciate it if you would get out of here

Dr Wells wants to leave..

I'll go of course, if that's what you want

But I hope Jane, you wont be sorry later on

I wont be too sorry

What's that?

Liverpool versus Glasgow, the game is still nil... nil

The plates complete the case... We can arrest,

Peter Clifton as the forger

That's excellent,why that's great

We just arrest the fellow, and tomorrow I watch the kings cup game

The police searching Longford Castle

found the missing press,and the plates, in the pond,right behind the park

The report is completely written up

Yes,I hope you didn't forget to mention that in Longford castle,

a tremendous amount of forged money was made

Thank you, I put it down already

The 20 five pound notes,

you picked up last sunday from Dr wells were probably genuine,

or the bank wouldn't have accepted them

I have no idea what you mean - I'll be glad to explain

You're under arrest Rouper!

You can't do this! Let me go

One... Nil

So Burke is after you, are you surprised about that?

My orders were to fake Hale's death

And you had no order from me to kill Radlowe

You know I hate violence, look at the Consequences

What has been done, can not be changed

I must get away,and right now too - I'm not keeping you

I need cash - You're a rich man

But an hour ago, my wife took everything and left

I need your help...

And what about your fine plan with Clifton?

Listen Blonberg...

let me down now, and I will not go down alone,understand?

I didn't say I wouldn't help you,

how much do you need? Five thousand pounds?

Very well,come here at about eleven P.M Someone will be waiting

Can't I come sooner?

No,you will be here at eleven,someone will be here to meet you with the money

You must tell that person that you are Blonberg,is that clear?

Good, I'll do whatever you want

Now, you know what to do Henry? - I do Sir

And tell the distributers they will get new merchandise in 8 days

100 Deutsche Mark notes - I will Sir

This is Blonberg,tell Mrs Anderson I want to speak to her here at 11 pm

Glad you're feeling better Peter - Thank you Burke

Doesn't he look well? - Indeed he does

I want you to hear this, It was saved by Radlowe

On top it says without name change,the text

Mrs Alexander Wellerson, that was your mother

was married to a man who by chance, was her first husbands cousin

Mrs and Mr Wellerson, that's your stepfather...

accompanied by their seven month old child,

who was of the first marriage, that's you Peter

Took a revierra trip..

Yes,but that means that...

That the Wellerson who murdered 2 people

and finally ended up in dartmoor to die,

was not your father at all.. - But only your stepfather

Who married Anderson later,

without benefit of divorcing his wife, your real mother

Now then,the forger.. who is he?

You know him? - I know him

You know where he could be hiding?

I know at least,where that so called, Blonberg works

Where he'll meet contacts, even tonight

That is all,I must go now

Blonberg 1,Blonberg 1 Do you hear me?

He went in just now, be sure you're ready..

Are you there Blonberg?

Have you brought the cash? Let's have it,quick

Money,you want money?

after you murdered your brother in cold blood Peter Clifton

Murderer!

You dirty bloody murderer Blonberg or Clifton

You're crazy,I'm not Clifton!

Murderer!

All is clear..

And if he doesn't come,what then? - He's coming,no doubt at all

Halt! It's too late, Peter Clifton

Peter! Peter!

What have you done Peter?

Nothing, nothing at all

He wanted to do something, but he didn't succeed

The lift signal,he's coming! - Lights out!

Don't make a foolish move! - Uncle John!

Mr Leith,or Mr Blonberg, or the forger...

It's unfortunate Peter

I'm aware that you tried to warn Leith

so that Jane might not have been hurt

Marjorie told me where to find Uncle John

Peter,you knew? - Yes Jane

That time at Longford Castle when I found the forgery hidden away

And the plate that I'd loaned a while ago to Uncle John

he pretended was lost

What's going on?

Excuse me please, it was a goal for our side

Well I'm cheering for our team too

Oh Chief Inspector

Tell me,how did that case come out then?

The best my friend,the best
