00:09:32,155 --> 00:09:35,617
We all heard about...
about Briggs's offer.
181
00:09:35,701 --> 00:09:37,869
I expect the whole world knows about that.
182
00:09:37,953 --> 00:09:38,954
Now, look here, Em.
183
00:09:41,290 --> 00:09:44,001
I've got a bit put aside,
not much, but enough.
184
00:09:44,084 --> 00:09:46,378
Now, you've given them 40 years.
185
00:09:46,461 --> 00:09:49,172
It's about time you
thought about yourself and me.
186
00:09:49,256 --> 00:09:51,008
Oh, Ollie, I love you.
187
00:09:51,091 --> 00:09:52,968
I really do.
188
00:09:53,051 --> 00:09:55,304
That's why I'm gonna do you the favor
of not marrying you.
189
00:09:56,513 --> 00:09:58,098
That sounds a bit warped.
190
00:09:58,181 --> 00:10:02,352
I don't want to turn two dear friends
into a couple of snarling alley cats.
191
00:10:02,436 --> 00:10:04,146
I mean, this is our life,
192
00:10:04,229 --> 00:10:07,065
not some cottage in Dorchester
tending roses.
193
00:10:07,149 --> 00:10:08,734
Now, Em--
194
00:10:08,817 --> 00:10:10,152
Now, now, my dear.
Not another word, all right?
195
00:10:15,490 --> 00:10:17,534
Oh, damn! I left me wallet back inside.
196
00:10:17,617 --> 00:10:18,827
Excuse me, darling.
I'll be back in a jiffy.
197
00:10:18,910 --> 00:10:19,911
I'll meet you inside.
198
00:10:21,496 --> 00:10:22,789
[engine starts and tires screech]
199
00:10:27,294 --> 00:10:28,295
[crashing]
200
00:10:31,923 --> 00:10:33,842
Emma! Emma!
201
00:10:33,925 --> 00:10:35,886
It's all right. I'm all right.
202
00:10:35,969 --> 00:10:37,012
I'm gonna call the police.
203
00:10:37,095 --> 00:10:38,221
No, no, no, it was nothing.
204
00:10:38,305 --> 00:10:39,848
It was just a drunk driver.
205
00:10:39,931 --> 00:10:41,391
Well, stop fretting and buy me that pint.
206
00:11:20,389 --> 00:11:22,682
[telephone rings]
207
00:11:25,644 --> 00:11:26,978
Yes?
208
00:11:27,062 --> 00:11:28,563
Hello, Mrs. Jessica Fletcher, please.
209
00:11:28,647 --> 00:11:29,856
Yes, this is Jessica Fletcher.
210
00:11:30,482 --> 00:11:33,693
My name's Ernest Fielding.
211
00:11:33,777 --> 00:11:36,488
I'm a solicitor representing
miss Emma MacGill.
212
00:11:37,322 --> 00:11:38,615
Cousin Emma?
213
00:11:38,698 --> 00:11:39,783
Oh, I haven't seen her for years.
214
00:11:39,866 --> 00:11:41,785
I'm afraid, Mrs. Fletcher,
215
00:11:41,868 --> 00:11:45,539
that I have to be
the bearer of distressing news.
216
00:11:45,622 --> 00:11:48,625
Your cousin was involved
in a fatal auto accident
217
00:11:48,708 --> 00:11:49,709
two days ago.
218
00:11:49,793 --> 00:11:50,877
Oh, Lord.
219
00:11:51,711 --> 00:11:55,424
Now, Mrs. Fletcher,
I realize this is an imposition on you,
220
00:11:55,507 --> 00:11:58,343
but in Emma's will,
she specifically requested
221
00:11:58,427 --> 00:11:59,719
that you attend the service.
222
00:12:02,431 --> 00:12:07,644
Leisure World Airways flight 101
now arriving from New York.
223
00:12:07,727 --> 00:12:10,647
Leisure World Airways
flight 101 now arriving...
224
00:12:17,070 --> 00:12:18,155
Mrs. Fletcher?
225
00:12:18,238 --> 00:12:19,948
-Yes.
-Danny Briggs.
226
00:12:20,031 --> 00:12:22,534
I was acquainted with your late cousin
in a business way.
227
00:12:22,617 --> 00:12:23,702
Welcome to London.
228
00:12:23,785 --> 00:12:25,245
Why, thank you, Mr. Briggs.
229
00:12:25,328 --> 00:12:26,913
I was hopin' you might
spare me a few minutes
230
00:12:26,997 --> 00:12:28,957
before you get tangled up
with the solicitor.
231
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,667
I'd like to talk to you about the Mayhew.
232
00:12:31,042 --> 00:12:32,502
The Mayhew?
233
00:12:32,586 --> 00:12:34,129
You haven't been told then?
234
00:12:34,212 --> 00:12:36,965
The music hall,
you're comin' into half of it.
235
00:12:37,048 --> 00:12:39,593
Really? I had no idea. But how did you--
236
00:12:39,676 --> 00:12:41,595
Oh, I have my ways, ma'am.
237
00:12:41,678 --> 00:12:44,097
Look, you'll be partners now
with Archie Weems.
238
00:12:44,181 --> 00:12:46,725
I'm prepared to make you both
a sweet offer for the place...
239
00:12:46,808 --> 00:12:48,685
more than it's worth.
240
00:12:48,768 --> 00:12:51,480
Mr. Briggs, I'm sorry.
I've come here for the services.
241
00:12:51,563 --> 00:12:53,231
And, frankly,
until I talk to Mr. Fielding,
242
00:12:53,315 --> 00:12:55,150
this conversation is a little premature.
243
00:12:55,233 --> 00:12:57,277
Really, Briggs! Not now, all right?
244
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:58,820
We'll talk again, ma'am.
245
00:12:58,904 --> 00:13:00,906
I'm terribly sorry about that.
246
00:13:00,989 --> 00:13:01,990
It really is remarkable.
247
00:13:03,366 --> 00:13:04,618
Ernest Fielding, Mrs. Fletcher.
248
00:13:04,701 --> 00:13:06,119
I'd given you up for lost.
249
00:13:06,203 --> 00:13:07,662
Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
250
00:13:07,746 --> 00:13:08,663
Here, car's right over here at the curb.
251
00:13:08,747 --> 00:13:09,748
Let me take that.
252
00:13:10,540 --> 00:13:12,125
Thank you.
253
00:13:12,209 --> 00:13:13,835
It's a great pleasure to meet you.
254
00:13:13,919 --> 00:13:15,670
I only wish it were
under different circumstances.
255
00:13:15,754 --> 00:13:16,838
Believe me, so do I.
256
00:13:16,922 --> 00:13:18,215
Here we are.
257
00:13:18,298 --> 00:13:19,549
No, I'd rather sit up front with you.
258
00:13:19,633 --> 00:13:21,051
I'd rather you sit in the back.
259
00:13:21,134 --> 00:13:22,886
Oh, Mr. Fielding, you're not my chauffeur.
260
00:13:22,969 --> 00:13:24,137
It'll be much easier to chat.
261
00:13:24,221 --> 00:13:26,556
I really must insist.
262
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:27,724
Jessica, please.
263
00:13:32,312 --> 00:13:33,271
Emma!
264
00:13:34,356 --> 00:13:36,066
Hello, cousin. Welcome to London.
265
00:13:40,987 --> 00:13:43,615
Emma, you've put me through
a terrible two days.
266
00:13:43,698 --> 00:13:47,160
Oh, I'm sorry, Jessica,
but I couldn't let anybody know.
267
00:13:47,244 --> 00:13:48,328
It was too dangerous.
268
00:13:48,870 --> 00:13:50,830
Dangerous? Emma, what is going on?
269
00:13:50,914 --> 00:13:53,458
Someone is trying to kill me.
270
00:13:53,542 --> 00:13:54,918
Oh, Lord.
271
00:13:55,001 --> 00:13:56,461
The first attempt was two weeks ago.
272
00:13:57,212 --> 00:13:58,797
My gas heater blew up
273
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,674
just after I returned home from church.
274
00:14:01,341 --> 00:14:02,842
The following Sunday evening,
275
00:14:02,926 --> 00:14:06,221
the rug at the top of the stairs
was loose,
276
00:14:06,304 --> 00:14:07,764
and I barely managed to keep from falling.
277
00:14:08,974 --> 00:14:11,309
And this past Saturday,
someone tried to run me down
278
00:14:11,393 --> 00:14:13,019
right outside the theater.
279
00:14:13,103 --> 00:14:15,564
But are you sure
these aren't just accidents?
280
00:14:15,647 --> 00:14:18,441
Three incidents
on three successive weekends?
281
00:14:18,525 --> 00:14:19,526
Not likely, love.
282
00:14:20,819 --> 00:14:24,489
And that's when, with Ernest's help,
I ran my car over a bridge
283
00:14:24,573 --> 00:14:27,075
into the river right near Portsmouth.
284
00:14:27,158 --> 00:14:29,327
Nobody knows that I'm alive, Jessica.
285
00:14:29,411 --> 00:14:30,829
Just the three of us.
286
00:14:31,705 --> 00:14:33,164
Emma, this is ridiculous.
287
00:14:33,248 --> 00:14:34,583
You must go to the police.
288
00:14:34,666 --> 00:14:35,667
And tell them what?
289
00:14:36,293 --> 00:14:37,669
I mean, with no proof,
290
00:14:37,752 --> 00:14:38,920
they'd write me off as some old geezer
291
00:14:39,004 --> 00:14:40,005
gone off the deep end.
292
00:14:43,216 --> 00:14:44,676
Oh, Emma's safe here.
293
00:14:44,759 --> 00:14:46,177
I've leased the flat
under an assumed name.
294
00:14:46,803 --> 00:14:48,263
I'm a prudent man, Mrs. Fletcher.
295
00:14:49,514 --> 00:14:51,308
Carries an umbrella every day,
296
00:14:51,391 --> 00:14:53,852
even when the sun's shining
like a bright tuppence.
297
00:14:53,935 --> 00:14:55,145
One lump or two?
298
00:14:55,228 --> 00:14:57,230
Oh, just a little milk, please.
299
00:14:57,314 --> 00:15:00,108
We're quite certain that
whoever's behind these attempts
300
00:15:00,191 --> 00:15:02,652
is frustrated by Emma's refusal
to sell the music hall.
301
00:15:02,736 --> 00:15:06,406
Now, that would include
her partner Archie Weems,
302
00:15:06,489 --> 00:15:08,533
his wife, Violet, Oliver Trumbull--
303
00:15:08,617 --> 00:15:09,909
Ridiculous.
304
00:15:09,993 --> 00:15:12,245
Oliver couldn't possibly want to kill me.
305
00:15:12,329 --> 00:15:13,705
But he might wish to frighten you.
306
00:15:14,331 --> 00:15:15,665
Remember, as long as you own the Mayhew,
307
00:15:15,749 --> 00:15:17,334
he knows you have
no intention of retiring.
308
00:15:17,417 --> 00:15:18,752
Oh, I don't believe a word of it.
309
00:15:18,835 --> 00:15:20,462
If you ask me, it's that man Briggs.
310
00:15:20,545 --> 00:15:22,213
Briggs? Daniel Briggs?
311
00:15:23,340 --> 00:15:25,425
He was waiting for me at the airport
312
00:15:25,508 --> 00:15:27,636
to make an offer for my share
of the music hall,
313
00:15:27,719 --> 00:15:31,222
which he said that I had inherited
after your death.
314
00:15:31,306 --> 00:15:32,349
Afraid that's my fault.
315
00:15:32,432 --> 00:15:33,767
But my idea.
316
00:15:34,601 --> 00:15:38,480
I asked Ernest to spread it around
that you were becoming the new owner.
317
00:15:38,563 --> 00:15:40,774
That way, I felt you might
have a better chance
318
00:15:40,857 --> 00:15:42,275
of rooting out who's behind all this.
319
00:15:42,359 --> 00:15:44,736
Emma, you've set me up.
320
00:15:44,819 --> 00:15:46,154
Oh, no, love.
321
00:15:46,237 --> 00:15:49,532
I've merely put you in a position
where you'd learn something.
322
00:15:49,616 --> 00:15:52,952
Set you up, indeed.
Oh, what a ghastly idea.
323
00:15:54,704 --> 00:15:57,791
I've scheduled a memorial service
for tomorrow morning at the Mayhew.
324
00:15:57,874 --> 00:16:00,835
I'm hoping that your appearance there
will stir the waters.
325
00:16:02,295 --> 00:16:04,130
Well, look, it's getting late.
326
00:16:05,590 --> 00:16:07,384
Mr. Fielding,
instead of going to the hotel,
327
00:16:07,467 --> 00:16:08,927
I'd appreciate a lift to Scotland Yard.
328
00:16:09,344 --> 00:16:11,763
The police? Oh, no, Jessica.
329
00:16:11,846 --> 00:16:13,515
I don't trust them, never did.
330
00:16:14,224 --> 00:16:16,059
Well, there's one that I can trust, Emma.
331
00:16:16,518 --> 00:16:18,687
[siren wailing]
332
00:16:24,901 --> 00:16:26,152
Excuse me.
333
00:16:26,236 --> 00:16:28,238
Ah, may-may I help you, madam?
334
00:16:28,321 --> 00:16:31,366
Well, I was looking for Inspector Kyle,
but his office is locked.
335
00:16:31,449 --> 00:16:33,493
Henry's off on holiday, I'm afraid.
336
00:16:33,576 --> 00:16:35,161
Something I might do for you?
337
00:16:35,245 --> 00:16:36,913
Inspector Crimmins.
338
00:16:36,996 --> 00:16:38,373
No, I-I-I don't think so, Inspector.
339
00:16:38,456 --> 00:16:39,374
But thank you, anyway.
340
00:16:39,457 --> 00:16:42,043
J.B. Fletcher.
341
00:16:42,127 --> 00:16:44,504
Thought I knew that face
the minute you walked in the door.
342
00:16:45,171 --> 00:16:47,048
Henry's told me so much about you.
343
00:16:47,132 --> 00:16:48,967
He says you're quite a peach.
344
00:16:49,050 --> 00:16:51,302
He did? That's very nice.
345
00:16:51,386 --> 00:16:53,847
Well, it takes a lot
to earn Henry's admiration.
346
00:16:53,930 --> 00:16:55,890
Look, Mrs. Fletcher, won't you come in?
347
00:16:55,974 --> 00:16:57,934
You sure there isn't something
I can do for you?
348
00:16:58,017 --> 00:17:01,020
Well, it's not official, Inspector.
349
00:17:01,104 --> 00:17:02,647
But I'm sure you're very busy.
350
00:17:02,731 --> 00:17:06,025
Busy? Not bloody likely.
351
00:17:06,109 --> 00:17:09,446
New superintendent, arrogant young pup.
352
00:17:09,529 --> 00:17:11,197
Think he's trying to force me
into early retirement.
353
00:17:11,281 --> 00:17:13,533
He's just got me shuffling
traffic tickets.
354
00:17:13,616 --> 00:17:15,201
Look, Mrs. Fletcher,
355
00:17:15,285 --> 00:17:17,746
you haven't stumbled in here
with a murder, have you?
356
00:17:17,829 --> 00:17:19,372
Well, not exactly.
357
00:17:20,582 --> 00:17:21,708
At least, not yet.
358
00:17:22,667 --> 00:17:25,503
[organ music]
359
00:18:01,206 --> 00:18:02,248
[organ stops]
360
00:18:03,208 --> 00:18:04,667
Lord help us, Emma!
361
00:18:06,044 --> 00:18:07,545
Morning, Trumbull.
362
00:18:07,629 --> 00:18:10,590
Let me introduce you.
Emma's cousin from the United States.
363
00:18:10,673 --> 00:18:12,258
Mrs. Jessica Fletcher, Oliver Trumbull.
364
00:18:12,342 --> 00:18:13,343
Well, how do you do?
365
00:18:15,845 --> 00:18:19,265
I'm sorry, I-- Forgive me.
For a moment, I thought--
366
00:18:19,349 --> 00:18:21,476
I'm delighted to meet you, Mr. Trumbull.
367
00:18:21,559 --> 00:18:23,937
I wish it were
under different circumstances.
368
00:18:24,020 --> 00:18:27,023
Yes, yes, quite so. Excuse me.
369
00:18:28,399 --> 00:18:29,818
[organ music playing]
370
00:18:29,901 --> 00:18:31,736
Forgive my father, Mrs. Fletcher.
371
00:18:31,820 --> 00:18:35,240
Your resemblance to Emma is remarkable,
almost frightening.
372
00:18:36,825 --> 00:18:38,368
He and Emma were very close.
373
00:18:38,451 --> 00:18:39,494
So I understand.
374
00:18:39,577 --> 00:18:40,495
Will you excuse me a moment?
375
00:18:40,578 --> 00:18:41,579
Yes, of course.
376
00:18:41,996 --> 00:18:43,373
I'm Kitty Trumbull.
377
00:18:43,456 --> 00:18:44,582
It's nice to meet you, Kitty.
378
00:18:44,999 --> 00:18:46,292
Morning, all.
379
00:18:46,376 --> 00:18:47,877
That's a bit of a shocker, Fielding.
380
00:18:47,961 --> 00:18:49,712
She looks enough like
Emma to be her sister.
381
00:18:49,796 --> 00:18:50,839
Yes, she does rather.
382
00:18:50,922 --> 00:18:51,923
Look here.
383
00:18:54,592 --> 00:18:55,593
Have you talked to her?
384
00:18:56,636 --> 00:18:58,680
About the place, I mean?
Is she gonna sell?
385
00:18:58,763 --> 00:19:00,348
Aren't you jumping the gun a bit, Weems?
386
00:19:00,431 --> 00:19:01,975
May I remind you, nothing can be
done about the will
387
00:19:02,058 --> 00:19:03,476
until after Emma's body's been recovered.
388
00:19:03,977 --> 00:19:05,520
-Recovered?
-Mmm!
389
00:19:05,603 --> 00:19:07,272
Man, she was swept out to sea
by that river.
390
00:19:07,355 --> 00:19:08,439
They may never find her body.
391
00:19:08,815 --> 00:19:10,066
Excuse me!
392
00:19:10,149 --> 00:19:11,609
[organ stops and crowd murmurs ]
393
00:19:12,360 --> 00:19:14,821
Could I have
everybody's attention, please?
394
00:19:14,904 --> 00:19:16,072
If you'd just like to gather round.
395
00:19:18,491 --> 00:19:19,951
Forgive the intrusion.
396
00:19:20,034 --> 00:19:22,370
I'm Inspector Roger Crimmins
of Scotland Yard.
397
00:19:22,453 --> 00:19:25,456
I'd like to speak to the next of kin
of the late miss Emma MacGill.
398
00:19:26,749 --> 00:19:29,669
I am Emma's cousin, inspector,
Jessica Fletcher.
399
00:19:30,128 --> 00:19:32,297
Mrs. Fletcher, I regret to tell you
400
00:19:32,380 --> 00:19:35,675
miss MacGill's body
was recovered from the beach
401
00:19:35,758 --> 00:19:37,343
early this morning near Portsmouth.
402
00:19:38,678 --> 00:19:41,389
Inspector, there's no doubt then?
403
00:19:41,890 --> 00:19:43,600
Oh, yeah, there's always some doubt.
404
00:19:43,683 --> 00:19:45,059
That's why I must ask Mrs. Fletcher
405
00:19:45,143 --> 00:19:47,020
to accompany me to identify the body.
406
00:19:47,937 --> 00:19:51,107
Ernest Fielding, inspector,
miss MacGill's solicitor.
407
00:19:51,190 --> 00:19:54,819
May I suggest that we spare Mrs. Fletcher
that grueling ordeal?
408
00:19:54,903 --> 00:19:56,779
Permit me to make the identification, eh?
409
00:19:56,863 --> 00:19:58,781
Mmm, as you wish.
410
00:20:01,492 --> 00:20:03,912
Beggin' your pardon, Mr. Fielding.
411
00:20:03,995 --> 00:20:07,165
Bridget O'Hara,
I rang you up twice yesterday.
412
00:20:07,248 --> 00:20:09,626
I don't wish to appear unseemly, Sir,
413
00:20:09,709 --> 00:20:13,379
but the mistress promised
that I would be remembered
414
00:20:14,005 --> 00:20:15,381
after she was gone.
415
00:20:15,465 --> 00:20:17,884
Miss O'Hara, I feel quite certain
416
00:20:17,967 --> 00:20:19,719
that this is neither the time
nor the place.
417
00:20:40,406 --> 00:20:43,076
Didn't waste much time
taking over, did you?
418
00:20:43,743 --> 00:20:45,954
Oh, I'm not taking over, miss O'Hara.
419
00:20:47,038 --> 00:20:48,790
No skin off my nose, as they say.
420
00:20:50,208 --> 00:20:51,584
You'll be getting it all anyway,
421
00:20:53,252 --> 00:20:58,216
except that which is specified for others,
those of us who were close to her.
422
00:20:58,299 --> 00:21:00,635
Oh, believe me, I didn't
come here to take anything.
423
00:21:00,718 --> 00:21:04,889
More than 30 years, I tended to her needs.
424
00:21:04,973 --> 00:21:07,684
But I suppose blood is thicker
than water, as they say.
425
00:21:08,393 --> 00:21:11,104
Uh, miss O'Hara, Bridget,
426
00:21:12,730 --> 00:21:15,274
I know that you were loyal to my cousin,
427
00:21:15,358 --> 00:21:20,863
and I feel that I can trust you.
A week ago, Emma phoned me.
428
00:21:20,947 --> 00:21:25,910
She told me that she was almost killed
in a series of accidents.
429
00:21:30,123 --> 00:21:32,458
You don't seem surprised.
430
00:21:32,542 --> 00:21:34,627
I said we were close, ma'am.
431
00:21:34,711 --> 00:21:36,337
I knew things were happenin'
432
00:21:36,421 --> 00:21:38,715
even when she wouldn't talk about it.
433
00:21:38,798 --> 00:21:41,050
It started a few weeks back,
434
00:21:41,134 --> 00:21:43,428
right after she got the offer
to sell this place.
435
00:21:44,012 --> 00:21:44,971
To Danny Briggs?
436
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:50,435
Danny Briggs, as poor a piece of work
as God ever made.
437
00:21:50,518 --> 00:21:54,313
"Impresario," he calls himself.
Young hustler if you ask me.
438
00:21:54,397 --> 00:21:56,232
Wants to turn this lovely old place
439
00:21:56,315 --> 00:21:58,026
into a "rock palace,"
I think they call it.
440
00:21:58,901 --> 00:22:01,404
Well, naturally, herself
wouldn't even consider it.
441
00:22:02,655 --> 00:22:04,782
Archie Weems must have been furious.
442
00:22:05,533 --> 00:22:08,786
Are you suggestin'
that Archie is a killer?
443
00:22:08,870 --> 00:22:10,204
Not likely.
444
00:22:10,288 --> 00:22:11,956
Wouldn't have the stomach for it.
445
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,500
But his wife, Violet...
446
00:22:14,584 --> 00:22:18,421
now, there's one who'd make Lady Macbeth
seem like a flower girl.
447
00:22:20,882 --> 00:22:25,178
Good manhood, be not forgot
upon the face of the earth,
448
00:22:25,261 --> 00:22:28,097
then I am a shotten herring!
449
00:22:28,181 --> 00:22:29,724
[chuckles]
450
00:22:29,807 --> 00:22:30,808
There lives but--
451
00:22:30,892 --> 00:22:32,060
Break a leg, Sir.
452
00:22:32,143 --> 00:22:33,144
Thank you, Bridget.
453
00:22:34,395 --> 00:22:36,022
You look absolutely smashing.
454
00:22:36,105 --> 00:22:37,190
Ah.
455
00:22:37,273 --> 00:22:38,733
I feel like a soggy tea bag.
456
00:22:40,610 --> 00:22:43,237
I don't know about all this.
It's been a while, you know.
457
00:22:43,321 --> 00:22:44,864
Machinery's gettin' a bit rusty.
458
00:22:44,947 --> 00:22:47,325
Dad, you're going to be wonderful.
459
00:22:47,408 --> 00:22:48,409
Hello.
460
00:22:49,869 --> 00:22:51,245
Hello, Mrs. Fletcher.
461
00:22:51,329 --> 00:22:52,705
Wondered where you'd popped off to.
462
00:22:52,789 --> 00:22:54,207
Well, I've just been poking around.
463
00:22:54,290 --> 00:22:57,168
This is such a fascinating old place.
464
00:22:57,251 --> 00:22:59,128
I wonder, you two wouldn't have
a few minutes, would you?
465
00:22:59,212 --> 00:23:01,339
There's so much I'd like to catch up on.
466
00:23:01,422 --> 00:23:03,716
I'm sorry, Mrs. Fletcher,
but Dad has an appointment, and--
467
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:04,967
Oh, Kitty.
468
00:23:05,051 --> 00:23:07,470
Dad, we're late already.
469
00:23:07,553 --> 00:23:08,554
Give us a moment.
470
00:23:16,229 --> 00:23:19,315
Forgive that snap in her voice,
Mrs. Fletcher.
471
00:23:19,398 --> 00:23:21,943
Sometimes, Kitty's like
a faithful watchdog.
472
00:23:22,026 --> 00:23:23,736
Well, it's obvious that she adores you.
473
00:23:23,820 --> 00:23:24,904
[chuckles]
474
00:23:26,364 --> 00:23:28,950
Look here. If I'm a bit
standoffish, I do apologize.
475
00:23:30,409 --> 00:23:33,663
It's just the resemblance
to Emma is so remarkable.
476
00:23:36,666 --> 00:23:38,793
I'm sorry. I'm making
a bit of a fool of myself.
477
00:23:38,876 --> 00:23:40,378
Kitty's right.
478
00:23:40,461 --> 00:23:44,298
After 15 years,
it's time I got on with me life.
479
00:23:44,382 --> 00:23:45,383
Dad!
480
00:23:46,968 --> 00:23:47,969
If you'll excuse me.
481
00:23:56,644 --> 00:23:57,645
Taxi!
482
00:23:59,021 --> 00:24:00,356
You're nervous. Don't be.
483
00:24:01,607 --> 00:24:02,650
I'm not nervous.
484
00:24:04,569 --> 00:24:06,112
Look, darling, would you mind
485
00:24:06,195 --> 00:24:08,656
if I go to this
director's office by myself?
486
00:24:08,739 --> 00:24:10,741
Are you sure? I don't mind, really.
487
00:24:11,617 --> 00:24:15,329
Auditioning at my age,
it's positively humiliating.
488
00:24:15,413 --> 00:24:17,039
All right.
489
00:24:17,123 --> 00:24:19,458
Look, I thought I'd check out
some travel agents.
490
00:24:19,542 --> 00:24:23,880
Next weekend, you and I should get away.
Maybe a little inn near Brighton.
491
00:24:23,963 --> 00:24:26,591
Sounds like marvelous fun.
492
00:24:26,674 --> 00:24:27,675
Call you this evening.
493
00:24:39,937 --> 00:24:44,859
Right, well, call me if you hear anything.
494
00:24:44,942 --> 00:24:45,902
Mrs. Fletcher?
495
00:24:45,985 --> 00:24:47,320
Oh, no, no more, thanks.
496
00:24:49,655 --> 00:24:52,617
Inspector, you don't suppose
whoever's behind this
497
00:24:52,700 --> 00:24:54,452
suspects what we're up to?
498
00:24:54,535 --> 00:24:56,120
Oh, I shouldn't think so.
499
00:24:56,204 --> 00:24:58,039
I think our would-be killer
thinks Emma MacGill
500
00:24:58,122 --> 00:24:59,540
really did have that fatal accident.
501
00:24:59,624 --> 00:25:01,626
His or her guard should be down.
502
00:25:01,709 --> 00:25:03,044
But not Emma's, I hope.
503
00:25:03,127 --> 00:25:06,088
You know, I really worry about her
being in that Streatham hideaway.
504
00:25:06,172 --> 00:25:07,757
Now, she's perfectly safe.
Fielding's with her.
505
00:25:08,591 --> 00:25:11,052
You know, maybe we ought
to take a look around
506
00:25:11,135 --> 00:25:13,179
the Chelsea road flat.
507
00:25:13,262 --> 00:25:14,263
I mean, we might find something...
508
00:25:14,347 --> 00:25:15,556
a clue, a lead, anything.
509
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:16,849
What sort of clue?
510
00:25:16,933 --> 00:25:18,935
Well, I haven't the vaguest idea.
511
00:25:24,190 --> 00:25:27,235
That's the house.
512
00:25:27,318 --> 00:25:28,319
Look!
513
00:25:31,656 --> 00:25:32,657
[engine revs]
514
00:25:35,701 --> 00:25:36,744
Oh, Lord!
515
00:25:37,495 --> 00:25:41,040
[tires squealing]
516
00:25:46,754 --> 00:25:47,755
Keep back! I'm a police officer.
517
00:25:53,094 --> 00:25:54,262
It's Bridget O'Hara.
518
00:26:02,311 --> 00:26:04,397
Her name is Bridget O'Hara.
519
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,649
She works as a dresser
at the Mayhew theater.
520
00:26:06,732 --> 00:26:09,986
She was struck
by a small sports car, yellow.
521
00:26:10,069 --> 00:26:12,697
Excuse me, inspector.
We've got Mr. Fielding on the line.
522
00:26:12,780 --> 00:26:13,698
The ambulance is on the way, Sir.
523
00:26:13,781 --> 00:26:14,824
Right, carry on.
524
00:26:14,907 --> 00:26:15,908
Jessica.
525
00:26:27,712 --> 00:26:29,213
Hello, Mr. Fielding?
526
00:26:29,297 --> 00:26:30,298
Inspector Crimmins here.
527
00:26:30,798 --> 00:26:32,300
Afraid I've got some very bad news.
528
00:26:32,383 --> 00:26:34,552
Bridget O'Hara's been killed by a car.
529
00:26:34,635 --> 00:26:36,762
Oh, no, really?
530
00:26:36,846 --> 00:26:38,556
Poor woman.
531
00:26:38,639 --> 00:26:40,641
What-what do you think?
Do you think it was an accident?
532
00:26:40,725 --> 00:26:43,102
There's no question it was deliberate.
533
00:26:43,185 --> 00:26:44,937
I'm afraid this deception
has gone far enough.
534
00:26:45,021 --> 00:26:47,982
I'd like you and miss MacGill at my office
as soon as possible.
535
00:26:59,493 --> 00:27:01,078
Mrs. Fletcher.
536
00:27:01,162 --> 00:27:02,163
Oh, Mr. Weems.
537
00:27:03,289 --> 00:27:06,208
Bridget, I can't believe it.
538
00:27:06,292 --> 00:27:09,211
Run down in the street, deliberate too.
539
00:27:09,295 --> 00:27:10,838
Yes, I'm afraid it was.
540
00:27:13,924 --> 00:27:16,218
Look here. Tell me straight.
541
00:27:17,345 --> 00:27:21,515
I hear Emma's okay,
that there never was no accident.
542
00:27:21,599 --> 00:27:22,558
And who told you that?
543
00:27:23,142 --> 00:27:26,270
Sergeant pal of mine tells me just now
when he sees me come in.
544
00:27:26,354 --> 00:27:29,065
Well, it's true. Emma is alive.
545
00:27:29,148 --> 00:27:31,734
Bloody hell. What's going on?
546
00:27:31,817 --> 00:27:33,319
The coat that Bridget was wearing,
547
00:27:33,402 --> 00:27:36,030
in the lining,
there were the initials "E.M."
548
00:27:36,113 --> 00:27:39,408
Bridget was leaving Emma's house
wearing Emma's coat.
549
00:27:40,201 --> 00:27:43,788
In the darkness,
the killer probably assumed
550
00:27:43,871 --> 00:27:44,872
that it was Emma.
551
00:27:45,998 --> 00:27:46,957
I'm puzzled.
552
00:27:48,167 --> 00:27:50,169
Why was Bridget wearing Emma's coat?
553
00:27:51,337 --> 00:27:54,215
Wouldn't know, unless--
554
00:27:54,298 --> 00:27:56,050
Was it by chance Emma's leopard coat?
555
00:27:56,133 --> 00:27:57,593
Yes, it was.
556
00:27:57,676 --> 00:27:59,428
Sure, I get it.
557
00:27:59,512 --> 00:28:01,347
Emma promised that coat to Bridget.
558
00:28:01,430 --> 00:28:03,557
There was no secret about it.
559
00:28:03,641 --> 00:28:05,142
Maybe Bridget decided to grab it
560
00:28:05,226 --> 00:28:07,853
before the lawyers
started muckin' things up.
561
00:28:07,937 --> 00:28:10,147
A very reasonable explanation, Mr. Weems.
562
00:28:11,607 --> 00:28:13,109
May I ask what you're doing here?
563
00:28:13,192 --> 00:28:15,111
It's no secret.
564
00:28:15,194 --> 00:28:17,321
Pal of mine on The Standard
told me about Bridget.
565
00:28:17,405 --> 00:28:19,031
I also got tipped
566
00:28:19,115 --> 00:28:21,033
you've got Emma stashed away
healthy as you please.
567
00:28:24,870 --> 00:28:27,581
I'd keep that information to yourself.
568
00:28:29,291 --> 00:28:30,543
Come on, Jessica. We're paying a visit.
569
00:28:31,877 --> 00:28:34,797
To Emma? Do you mind if I tag along?
570
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,298
Like to see how the old girl's doing.
571
00:28:36,382 --> 00:28:39,218
Ah, sergeant Barbury,
this gentleman has a statement to make
572
00:28:39,301 --> 00:28:40,553
in the O'Hara accident.
573
00:28:40,636 --> 00:28:42,471
Take it all down, will you?
574
00:28:42,555 --> 00:28:44,432
Shouldn't take more than a half hour.
575
00:28:44,515 --> 00:28:46,267
-Right.
-Here, you can't do this!
576
00:28:46,350 --> 00:28:47,977
This way, Sir.
577
00:28:48,060 --> 00:28:49,562
What happened?
578
00:28:49,645 --> 00:28:51,188
I thought that Emma
was gonna meet us here.
579
00:28:51,272 --> 00:28:52,648
Fielding called.
580
00:28:52,731 --> 00:28:54,066
Says she's terrified to leave the flat.
581
00:28:56,944 --> 00:28:59,488
I did promise that coat to Bridget.
582
00:28:59,572 --> 00:29:01,949
But why did she feel she had to take it?
583
00:29:02,032 --> 00:29:03,826
She must have thought
she'd been left out of the will.
584
00:29:05,077 --> 00:29:06,787
And so the killer,
585
00:29:06,871 --> 00:29:08,664
seeing her hurry down the steps
wearing the leopard coat,
586
00:29:08,747 --> 00:29:11,041
assumed Bridget was Emma, and--
587
00:29:11,125 --> 00:29:13,836
The question is, inspector,
why make that assumption?
588
00:29:13,919 --> 00:29:16,088
Everyone believed that Emma was dead.
589
00:29:16,714 --> 00:29:19,675
The killer must have known
that Emma was alive.
590
00:29:20,759 --> 00:29:22,136
Are you suggesting I was indiscreet?
591
00:29:22,761 --> 00:29:25,598
Security has been breached by someone.
592
00:29:31,687 --> 00:29:32,688
Emma?
593
00:29:36,525 --> 00:29:38,694
Oh, Jessica, I-I feel like such a fool.
594
00:29:39,653 --> 00:29:41,322
Then you did talk to someone.
595
00:29:42,615 --> 00:29:44,158
Well, uh, not directly.
596
00:29:45,534 --> 00:29:47,369
I was so worried about Oliver,
597
00:29:47,453 --> 00:29:48,829
especially after Ernest told me
598
00:29:48,913 --> 00:29:52,041
he was so poorly about everything.
599
00:29:52,124 --> 00:29:53,959
I called him up at the flat
and left a message
600
00:29:54,043 --> 00:29:55,961
on his answering machine.
601
00:29:56,045 --> 00:29:58,547
Oh, bloody marvelous!
602
00:29:59,423 --> 00:30:00,799
Now, Oliver wouldn't harm me.
603
00:30:01,926 --> 00:30:03,427
No, but he might have dropped
604
00:30:03,511 --> 00:30:04,762
a careless word to somebody else.
605
00:30:04,845 --> 00:30:06,096
And before you knew it,
606
00:30:06,180 --> 00:30:08,182
half of London's in on our little secret.
607
00:30:08,265 --> 00:30:09,391
I don't suppose you told him this address?
608
00:30:09,475 --> 00:30:10,392
Well, of course not!
609
00:30:10,476 --> 00:30:12,269
Thank God for that.
610
00:30:12,353 --> 00:30:13,979
Inspector, aren't we getting
a little ahead of ourselves?
611
00:30:14,063 --> 00:30:16,273
After all, we don't know
that Oliver heard the message.
612
00:30:16,357 --> 00:30:19,443
Huh. What's his address?
613
00:30:19,527 --> 00:30:21,487
84 Cumberland Mews.
614
00:30:21,570 --> 00:30:22,947
Mm-hmm.
615
00:30:23,030 --> 00:30:25,282
Jessica, we better pay him a visit.
616
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,410
I'll also be posting
a 24-hour surveillance
617
00:30:28,494 --> 00:30:29,828
outside these premises.
618
00:30:29,912 --> 00:30:31,747
-Is that necessary?
-Oh, it is.
619
00:30:31,830 --> 00:30:33,832
Not only for miss MacGill's protection,
620
00:30:33,916 --> 00:30:36,585
but on the odd chance
that our killer makes another attempt,
621
00:30:37,545 --> 00:30:38,546
we'll be waiting for him.
622
00:30:48,305 --> 00:30:49,640
Where is he?
623
00:30:49,723 --> 00:30:51,016
Archie'll be here.
624
00:30:51,100 --> 00:30:53,727
Taking his own sweet time about it.
625
00:30:53,811 --> 00:30:56,772
Look, if this is another stall...
626
00:30:56,855 --> 00:30:58,399
I only know what he said.
627
00:30:58,482 --> 00:31:00,859
"Call Danny Briggs," he says.
"I've got news."
628
00:31:00,943 --> 00:31:03,195
Well, maybe he's made some arrangement
with that American cousin.
629
00:31:03,279 --> 00:31:04,363
Funny.
630
00:31:04,989 --> 00:31:07,658
I got the feeling she wouldn't
be an easy nut to crack.
631
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:09,910
She's got no use for this place.
632
00:31:09,994 --> 00:31:12,079
And with a handsome profit
to be made, she'll sell.
633
00:31:12,162 --> 00:31:13,163
I wouldn't count on that, love.
634
00:31:13,706 --> 00:31:14,623
She's alive.
635
00:31:14,707 --> 00:31:15,874
Who?
636
00:31:15,958 --> 00:31:17,793
Emma! Who'd you think I meant?
637
00:31:17,876 --> 00:31:19,378
Oh, that's crazy, Archie.
638
00:31:19,461 --> 00:31:21,046
She's hiding out.
639
00:31:21,130 --> 00:31:23,299
The whole thing was a stunt.
640
00:31:23,382 --> 00:31:25,801
Seems someone's been
trying to put her away.
641
00:31:25,884 --> 00:31:26,885
Not me.
642
00:31:26,969 --> 00:31:28,137
I said "someone," Briggs.
643
00:31:28,220 --> 00:31:29,680
I named no names.
644
00:31:29,763 --> 00:31:32,516
But I warn you, I draw the line at murder.
645
00:31:32,975 --> 00:31:35,102
So do I, Archie.
646
00:31:35,185 --> 00:31:38,647
But I'm gonna have that woman's signature
on a contract.
647
00:31:38,731 --> 00:31:41,191
My partners can be
very unpleasant gentlemen,
648
00:31:41,275 --> 00:31:42,985
even violent.
649
00:31:43,068 --> 00:31:45,988
And if someone's gonna get hurt,
it won't be me.
650
00:31:49,491 --> 00:31:53,287
Fact is, I haven't seen Mr. Trumbull
since early this morning.
651
00:31:53,370 --> 00:31:55,748
He was off to services
at the theater, of all places.
652
00:31:55,831 --> 00:31:57,166
Mm-hmm.
653
00:31:57,249 --> 00:31:59,335
Some people got no sense of propriety.
654
00:31:59,418 --> 00:32:02,504
Yeah, and you say
he's not returned here all day?
655
00:32:02,588 --> 00:32:04,340
Said I hadn't heard him.
656
00:32:04,423 --> 00:32:07,092
'Course, I been back in the kitchen a lot
watchin' the telly.
657
00:32:07,176 --> 00:32:08,844
Many's a tenant comes and goes
without me knowin'.
658
00:32:10,596 --> 00:32:13,015
Hasn't done anything wrong,
has he, sergeant?
659
00:32:13,098 --> 00:32:14,642
I do like the old chap.
660
00:32:14,725 --> 00:32:16,477
Yeah, actually, it's, uh, inspector.
661
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:17,603
Oh!
662
00:32:17,686 --> 00:32:19,355
And we'll let ourselves out.
663
00:32:19,438 --> 00:32:21,774
No need to get testy, Sir.
664
00:32:21,857 --> 00:32:22,900
I can take a hint.
665
00:32:22,983 --> 00:32:23,984
Right, thank you very much.
666
00:32:25,444 --> 00:32:26,487
Look at this, inspector.
667
00:32:26,570 --> 00:32:28,155
Hmm?
668
00:32:28,238 --> 00:32:30,824
The Southgate theater,
about 20 years ago.
669
00:32:32,076 --> 00:32:34,411
"Oliver Trumbull as King Lear."
670
00:32:35,954 --> 00:32:37,247
Shakespearean actor, eh?
671
00:32:37,998 --> 00:32:39,249
Hardly seems possible.
672
00:32:40,793 --> 00:32:42,127
Let's take a listen to this
answering device, shall we?
673
00:32:45,214 --> 00:32:47,466
Trumbull? Ned Wiley here.
674
00:32:47,549 --> 00:32:49,468
Sorry I missed you at the office.
675
00:32:49,551 --> 00:32:51,470
About the audition,
we're pretty much cast.
676
00:32:52,471 --> 00:32:54,139
But if you would like to pop
into the lobby
677
00:32:54,223 --> 00:32:57,685
of the Cumberland around 9:00,
I'll have a look at you.
678
00:32:57,768 --> 00:32:59,061
No promises, of course.
It's up to you.
679
00:33:00,771 --> 00:33:02,064
-Emma's call must be earlier.
-Mmm.
680
00:33:04,775 --> 00:33:06,902
[Emma over speakers]
Oliver, it's me, love.
681
00:33:06,985 --> 00:33:08,862
I heard about how upset
you were this morning,
682
00:33:08,946 --> 00:33:11,323
and I'm dreadfully sorry
to put you through this.
683
00:33:11,407 --> 00:33:14,368
I'm safe and well,
and that's all I can say for now.
684
00:33:14,451 --> 00:33:16,161
Please don't tell anyone
you've heard from me,
685
00:33:16,245 --> 00:33:17,913
or I'll be in terrible danger.
686
00:33:22,334 --> 00:33:24,545
Go thy ways, old Jack.
687
00:33:25,379 --> 00:33:27,089
Die if thou wilt.
688
00:33:28,590 --> 00:33:31,385
If manhood, good manhood,
689
00:33:32,761 --> 00:33:33,762
be not forgot--
690
00:33:37,349 --> 00:33:38,392
Excuse me, young man.
691
00:33:39,768 --> 00:33:41,895
I'll just consult the text.
692
00:33:41,979 --> 00:33:43,522
Yes, but please hurry.
693
00:33:43,605 --> 00:33:47,526
Not to worry, dear boy,
just a momentary lapse.
694
00:33:48,986 --> 00:33:49,987
I have it.
695
00:33:51,947 --> 00:33:53,490
-Uh, if-
[muttering]
696
00:33:54,992 --> 00:33:56,702
If manhood--
697
00:33:56,785 --> 00:34:02,040
If manhood, good manhood,
be not forgot upon the face of the earth,
698
00:34:02,124 --> 00:34:04,918
then I am a shotten herring.
699
00:34:06,712 --> 00:34:10,382
There lives but three good men
unhanged in England.
700
00:34:11,842 --> 00:34:17,598
One of 'em's fat... and grows old.
701
00:34:17,681 --> 00:34:18,974
Yes, yes. Thank you, Mr. Trumbull.
702
00:34:21,143 --> 00:34:24,772
I have not finished!
703
00:34:24,855 --> 00:34:25,898
I've heard quite enough, thanks.
704
00:34:27,024 --> 00:34:30,402
Young man, you paid me the courtesy
to give me an audition.
705
00:34:31,904 --> 00:34:33,697
You don't have the manners to hear me out?
706
00:34:33,781 --> 00:34:36,575
Look, old-timer, courtesy had
nothing to do with it.
707
00:34:36,658 --> 00:34:38,660
You accost me in my hotel lobby.
708
00:34:38,744 --> 00:34:40,621
You plead for a tryout.
709
00:34:41,330 --> 00:34:43,415
Well, you got one,
and, frankly, you won't do.
710
00:34:44,291 --> 00:34:45,918
Oh, some years ago,
711
00:34:46,001 --> 00:34:47,878
I'm sure you would have made
an adequate Falstaff.
712
00:34:49,755 --> 00:34:50,798
Adequate?
713
00:34:52,758 --> 00:34:55,594
Doth my Lord comfort me?
714
00:34:58,430 --> 00:35:00,808
Came he right now to sing a raven's note,
715
00:35:00,891 --> 00:35:05,646
whose dismal tune bereft my vital powers.
716
00:35:05,729 --> 00:35:08,941
And thinks he that the chirping of a wren
717
00:35:09,024 --> 00:35:11,777
by crying comfort from a hollow breast
718
00:35:11,860 --> 00:35:14,780
could chase away
the first conceived sound!
719
00:35:16,240 --> 00:35:19,952
Hide not thy poison
with such sugared words.
720
00:35:20,035 --> 00:35:21,578
-Oh!
-Lay not thy hands on me!
721
00:35:22,246 --> 00:35:23,413
Forbear, I say!
722
00:35:25,207 --> 00:35:29,253
Their touch affrights me
as a serpent's sting!
723
00:35:40,556 --> 00:35:41,890
All right, everyone.
724
00:35:41,974 --> 00:35:43,684
Places, places for the first scene.
725
00:35:43,767 --> 00:35:45,269
Dad!
726
00:35:45,352 --> 00:35:46,436
Oh, Mrs. Fletcher.
727
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,230
Forgive me.
728
00:35:48,313 --> 00:35:50,399
I'm distressed you were witness
to such an embarrassment.
729
00:35:50,482 --> 00:35:52,818
Oh, Mr. Trumbull,
the embarrassment was not yours,
730
00:35:52,901 --> 00:35:54,069
believe me.
731
00:35:54,152 --> 00:35:55,320
You were magnificent.
732
00:35:56,530 --> 00:35:58,699
Magnificent and unemployed.
733
00:35:58,782 --> 00:36:01,285
Is there somewhere we can go and talk?
734
00:36:01,368 --> 00:36:02,870
As it so happens,
735
00:36:02,953 --> 00:36:04,288
there's a friendly pub
just round the corner.
736
00:36:04,371 --> 00:36:05,372
Follow me, ladies.
737
00:36:09,835 --> 00:36:11,587
Emma, alive?
738
00:36:11,670 --> 00:36:13,380
Very much alive.
739
00:36:13,463 --> 00:36:15,632
Mrs. Fletcher,
is this some sort of a joke?
740
00:36:15,716 --> 00:36:17,509
That inspector said her body
had been washed up
741
00:36:17,593 --> 00:36:19,011
on a beach near Portsmouth.
742
00:36:19,094 --> 00:36:22,556
Well, inspector Crimmins was helping us
to create an illusion.
743
00:36:23,473 --> 00:36:26,143
Emma's in hiding
under the protection of the police.
744
00:36:26,226 --> 00:36:27,644
You see, over the past few weeks,
745
00:36:27,728 --> 00:36:29,897
several attempts
have been made on her life.
746
00:36:29,980 --> 00:36:33,525
That car in the alleyway,
I knew that was no accident.
747
00:36:33,609 --> 00:36:34,776
Jessica, I must see her immediately.
748
00:36:35,527 --> 00:36:37,321
Well, I'm afraid that is not possible.
749
00:36:37,404 --> 00:36:38,488
-The hell you say.
-Dad!
750
00:36:38,572 --> 00:36:40,115
Kitty, keep out of this.
751
00:36:40,198 --> 00:36:41,199
Forgive me, madam.
752
00:36:41,742 --> 00:36:43,911
But first, you tell me that Bridget O'Hara
was killed last night.
753
00:36:44,995 --> 00:36:47,456
And then, as if that were not enough,
754
00:36:47,539 --> 00:36:51,627
you suddenly reincarnate
dear Emma from a watery grave.
755
00:36:51,710 --> 00:36:53,503
I call that bloody unfeeling of you!
756
00:36:53,587 --> 00:36:54,588
Dad, calm down.
757
00:36:55,213 --> 00:36:59,635
Mr. Trumbull, I'm sorry,
but I'm surprised that you didn't know
758
00:36:59,718 --> 00:37:01,261
that Emma was alive.
759
00:37:01,345 --> 00:37:04,598
After all, she telephoned you
late yesterday.
760
00:37:04,681 --> 00:37:06,183
What?
761
00:37:06,266 --> 00:37:07,601
The message was on your answering machine.
762
00:37:08,143 --> 00:37:09,770
I didn't hear it.
763
00:37:09,853 --> 00:37:10,771
I didn't go home.
764
00:37:10,854 --> 00:37:11,813
Oh?
765
00:37:13,106 --> 00:37:17,819
I spent the afternoon cooling me heels
in the office of that fool director.
766
00:37:17,903 --> 00:37:21,615
When I didn't get to see him,
I camped out in the hotel lobby.
767
00:37:21,698 --> 00:37:24,952
When finally I managed to collar him,
I practically begged him for an audition.
768
00:37:26,244 --> 00:37:27,746
He didn't remember my Romeo at the Globe.
769
00:37:29,498 --> 00:37:34,419
-Mind you, it was some years ago.
-I found him in the lounge around 12:30,
770
00:37:34,503 --> 00:37:36,964
half awake, a room key
dangling from his pocket.
771
00:37:38,340 --> 00:37:40,133
It was the only way I could
get a drink after 11:00.
772
00:37:40,217 --> 00:37:41,802
I booked a room.
773
00:37:41,885 --> 00:37:42,928
So I put him to bed
for the rest of the night.
774
00:37:43,011 --> 00:37:44,554
I see.
775
00:37:44,638 --> 00:37:45,847
So you went directly
from the director's office
776
00:37:45,931 --> 00:37:47,265
to the hotel lobby,
777
00:37:47,349 --> 00:37:50,394
then to the lounge, and then to bed?
778
00:37:50,477 --> 00:37:52,729
Dull but true.
779
00:37:52,813 --> 00:37:53,855
I'm sorry, Mr. Trumbull.
780
00:37:54,815 --> 00:37:57,192
I heard that taped message
from the director
781
00:37:57,275 --> 00:37:59,778
asking you to meet him in the hotel lobby.
782
00:37:59,861 --> 00:38:01,488
Now, that was on the same tape
783
00:38:01,571 --> 00:38:03,657
as Emma saying
that she was alive and well.
784
00:38:03,740 --> 00:38:06,326
I mean, you couldn't possibly have heard
one and not the other.
785
00:38:07,411 --> 00:38:08,704
My thoughts precisely.
786
00:38:10,455 --> 00:38:13,291
Oliver Trumbull,
I'm placing you under arrest
787
00:38:13,375 --> 00:38:15,127
for the murder of Bridget O'Hara.
788
00:38:15,210 --> 00:38:17,754
-No!
-I'm sorry, miss.
789
00:38:17,838 --> 00:38:18,839
Officer.
790
00:38:27,848 --> 00:38:30,767
Bridget O'Hara
was struck by that car at 8:15.
791
00:38:30,851 --> 00:38:34,062
The director suggested you
meet him at the hotel lobby at 9:00.
792
00:38:34,146 --> 00:38:35,147
Is that right?
793
00:38:35,230 --> 00:38:36,732
Yes! I told you so!
794
00:38:36,815 --> 00:38:39,151
Well, that's a difference of 45 minutes.
795
00:38:40,527 --> 00:38:43,739
Ample time for you to get
from Chelsea road to the Cumberland.
796
00:38:43,822 --> 00:38:46,241
I told you. I did not hear that message!
797
00:38:46,324 --> 00:38:49,202
Oh, yeah, you just happened
to be at the hotel.
798
00:38:49,286 --> 00:38:52,122
I overheard his secretary
book a table for him
799
00:38:52,205 --> 00:38:53,874
in the Cumberland Hotel dining room.
800
00:38:54,708 --> 00:38:56,126
I knew if I waited in the lobby
long enough,
801
00:38:56,752 --> 00:38:57,836
he'd be bound to show up.
802
00:38:59,629 --> 00:39:02,758
I was there from 7:30 till 11:00,
803
00:39:02,841 --> 00:39:06,553
which can be verified
by the porter and the concierge.
804
00:39:06,636 --> 00:39:09,431
I was paged for a phone call
from me daughter.
805
00:39:11,308 --> 00:39:15,020
They remember the call, Mr. Trumbull,
and they remember you.
806
00:39:15,103 --> 00:39:17,439
But they can't verify
the time you were there.
807
00:39:22,944 --> 00:39:23,862
[knock]
808
00:39:23,945 --> 00:39:24,946
Come in.
809
00:39:27,908 --> 00:39:29,993
This is a ghastly joke.
810
00:39:30,077 --> 00:39:31,328
Oliver loved Emma.
811
00:39:31,411 --> 00:39:32,913
He'd never try to hurt her.
812
00:39:32,996 --> 00:39:35,123
I wish I could believe that.
813
00:39:35,207 --> 00:39:36,249
You would if you knew him.
814
00:39:38,001 --> 00:39:39,628
Do you know how hard this is for me?
815
00:39:46,051 --> 00:39:47,928
Very sorry, Kitty.
816
00:39:48,011 --> 00:39:50,347
Your father will be formally charged
tomorrow morning.
817
00:39:50,430 --> 00:39:52,974
No! He was in the hotel!
818
00:39:53,058 --> 00:39:55,644
I phoned him there at 8:00.
819
00:39:55,727 --> 00:39:58,688
There's no way he could have
been in two places at once.
820
00:39:58,772 --> 00:40:01,316
The concierge confirmed
your call, miss Trumbull.
821
00:40:01,399 --> 00:40:02,651
9:00, not 8:00.
822
00:40:02,734 --> 00:40:04,111
He's wrong.
823
00:40:04,194 --> 00:40:07,155
Kitty, lying will not help the problem.
824
00:40:07,572 --> 00:40:09,032
I have an appointment in an hour
with a very capable barrister,
825
00:40:09,116 --> 00:40:10,075
a fine fellow.
826
00:40:10,742 --> 00:40:13,787
Believe me, your father will have
the best defense possible.
827
00:40:15,539 --> 00:40:16,540
May I see him?
828
00:40:17,791 --> 00:40:18,792
Yes.
829
00:40:18,875 --> 00:40:19,876
All right, step this way.
830
00:40:23,505 --> 00:40:25,048
Inspector, I'd like to talk to Emma.
831
00:40:25,715 --> 00:40:27,592
Yeah, might be a good idea.
832
00:40:30,303 --> 00:40:33,723
[tires screeching]
833
00:40:33,807 --> 00:40:34,933
[crashing]
834
00:40:38,103 --> 00:40:40,981
-Here! What's the matter with you?
-Are you blind?
835
00:40:41,064 --> 00:40:42,816
Did you see you ran
right into the back of this--
836
00:40:42,899 --> 00:40:43,900
Where did you learn how to drive?
837
00:40:44,609 --> 00:40:45,610
Get your hands off me!
838
00:40:47,821 --> 00:40:48,738
I'm a police officer.
839
00:40:48,822 --> 00:40:50,073
[voices overlapping]
840
00:40:59,916 --> 00:41:00,917
[knocking]
841
00:41:03,086 --> 00:41:04,379
Who is it?
842
00:41:04,462 --> 00:41:06,089
Constable Barnes, miss MacGill.
843
00:41:11,469 --> 00:41:12,470
Oh!
844
00:41:15,348 --> 00:41:16,516
Take it easy.
845
00:41:17,726 --> 00:41:18,935
I don't wanna hurt you.
846
00:41:20,645 --> 00:41:22,105
I just wanna talk.
847
00:41:22,189 --> 00:41:24,107
We've nothing to talk about, Mr. Briggs.
848
00:41:24,191 --> 00:41:28,153
Oh, we do, lady, plenty.
849
00:41:28,236 --> 00:41:29,905
Except talk's not all I've come for.
850
00:41:30,822 --> 00:41:33,116
The time for playin' games is over.
851
00:41:34,201 --> 00:41:36,411
I'm here to get your signature
on this bill of sale.
852
00:41:36,494 --> 00:41:37,495
Oh, no!
853
00:41:37,996 --> 00:41:38,997
Don't tell me "no"!
854
00:41:40,123 --> 00:41:42,334
I've got people to answer to,
855
00:41:42,417 --> 00:41:44,669
people that'll peel away my hide
if I don't deliver!
856
00:41:46,004 --> 00:41:48,006
So you'll sign.
857
00:41:48,089 --> 00:41:51,259
Oh, you will sign,
858
00:41:51,343 --> 00:41:55,472
or I'll get the place from your cousin
after you're dead and gone.
859
00:41:59,517 --> 00:42:00,894
So who's gonna pay
for my bleeding car then?
860
00:42:00,977 --> 00:42:02,270
Not me!
861
00:42:02,354 --> 00:42:04,356
You need a seeing eye dog, you do.
862
00:42:08,944 --> 00:42:10,362
I want you to wait here
for about five minutes.
863
00:42:15,116 --> 00:42:16,117
Inspector!
864
00:42:18,078 --> 00:42:19,204
[voices overlapping]
865
00:42:20,372 --> 00:42:21,539
[engine starts]
866
00:42:27,420 --> 00:42:28,505
Emma?
867
00:42:28,588 --> 00:42:29,839
Emma, it's Jessica!
868
00:42:29,923 --> 00:42:30,924
-Jessica!
-Shut up!
869
00:42:31,383 --> 00:42:33,176
Emma!
870
00:42:33,260 --> 00:42:34,386
Get back.
871
00:42:34,469 --> 00:42:35,553
Miss MacGill?
872
00:42:35,637 --> 00:42:37,514
Inspector Crimmins. Open up.
873
00:42:40,767 --> 00:42:41,768
[clattering]
874
00:42:44,229 --> 00:42:45,230
Emma?
875
00:42:45,772 --> 00:42:49,901
I'm all right, Jessica,
but I can't say the same for him.
876
00:42:49,985 --> 00:42:52,237
Well done, miss MacGill.
877
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:53,321
Thompson.
878
00:42:59,869 --> 00:43:01,329
A nice bit of work.
879
00:43:05,792 --> 00:43:07,002
Or, perhaps not?
880
00:43:08,211 --> 00:43:09,421
Well, what is it, Jessica?
881
00:43:09,504 --> 00:43:11,923
Yeah. We've got our man.
882
00:43:12,007 --> 00:43:13,008
You should be delighted.
883
00:43:13,550 --> 00:43:15,635
Our man? No, inspector.
884
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:17,095
I'm sorry to say we don't.
885
00:43:29,316 --> 00:43:32,610
Jessica, I'm not sure
how you arranged me release,
886
00:43:32,694 --> 00:43:36,823
but-- Oh! I shall be eternally grateful.
887
00:43:36,906 --> 00:43:39,993
Well, thank inspector Crimmins.
It was his decision.
888
00:43:43,121 --> 00:43:44,873
Seventeen years I've trod these boards.
889
00:43:46,207 --> 00:43:48,209
Oh, it was grand,
890
00:43:49,210 --> 00:43:52,255
especially back then
when they knew that we were here.
891
00:43:53,965 --> 00:43:57,969
This old place would sing
with laughter and music...
892
00:44:00,430 --> 00:44:01,431
And music.
893
00:44:02,766 --> 00:44:03,767
Dad!
894
00:44:08,813 --> 00:44:11,483
Oh, Kitty, darlin'. There, now.
895
00:44:11,566 --> 00:44:13,818
I can't believe it. They let you go.
896
00:44:13,902 --> 00:44:14,944
That's right, Kitty.
897
00:44:15,945 --> 00:44:18,323
We've identified the real killer
of Bridget O'Hara.
898
00:44:18,907 --> 00:44:22,369
Identified? Not arrested?
899
00:44:22,452 --> 00:44:24,204
Not yet.
900
00:44:24,287 --> 00:44:26,373
You see, both the inspector
and I would like the killer
901
00:44:26,456 --> 00:44:28,291
to come forward voluntarily.
902
00:44:28,375 --> 00:44:31,252
It will make things
so much easier for her.
903
00:44:32,587 --> 00:44:33,671
Her?
904
00:44:35,673 --> 00:44:37,592
But I thought that Danny Briggs
was the one who--
905
00:44:37,675 --> 00:44:41,346
No, not Danny.
The killer was someone else,
906
00:44:41,429 --> 00:44:45,934
someone who had a very personal reason
for killing Emma MacGill
907
00:44:46,017 --> 00:44:48,186
and ran down Bridget
in the mistaken belief
908
00:44:48,269 --> 00:44:49,562
that she was killing Emma.
909
00:44:50,647 --> 00:44:51,648
What's all this about?
910
00:44:52,565 --> 00:44:54,192
You see, one thing seemed strange
911
00:44:54,275 --> 00:44:57,112
about those three earlier attempts
on Emma's life.
912
00:44:57,195 --> 00:44:59,364
They happened on consecutive weekends,
913
00:44:59,447 --> 00:45:02,700
as if they had been attempted
by someone who worked and lived
914
00:45:02,784 --> 00:45:03,952
elsewhere during the week.
915
00:45:05,703 --> 00:45:08,081
You telephoned your father
at the Cumberland, Kitty.
916
00:45:08,164 --> 00:45:10,208
The concierge said 9:00?
917
00:45:10,291 --> 00:45:12,127
He's a liar. I called at 8:00.
918
00:45:12,210 --> 00:45:14,254
8:00 or 9:00 is not the point.
919
00:45:14,337 --> 00:45:16,506
How did you know where to find him?
920
00:45:17,632 --> 00:45:18,633
What?
921
00:45:20,009 --> 00:45:22,387
You did not go with him
to the director's office.
922
00:45:22,470 --> 00:45:24,222
You went shopping,
923
00:45:24,305 --> 00:45:27,267
and then to the travel agent
to arrange your seaside holiday.
924
00:45:27,350 --> 00:45:29,102
There's no possible way
you could have known
925
00:45:29,185 --> 00:45:31,521
that he was going to be
in the lobby of the Cumberland,
926
00:45:31,604 --> 00:45:34,023
unless you had heard that phone message.
927
00:45:36,234 --> 00:45:37,402
Kitty?
928
00:45:37,485 --> 00:45:38,820
Don't listen to her! Dad--
929
00:45:39,654 --> 00:45:41,114
Jessica.
930
00:45:41,197 --> 00:45:42,657
I'm so sorry, Oliver.
931
00:45:42,740 --> 00:45:45,577
This gives me no pleasure, believe me.
932
00:45:45,660 --> 00:45:49,122
But, you see, if Kitty had heard
that director's message,
933
00:45:49,205 --> 00:45:52,709
then she must have also heard
Emma's message.
934
00:45:52,792 --> 00:45:55,420
Now, she had no way of knowing
that Emma was hiding out
935
00:45:55,503 --> 00:45:56,963
at the Streatham flat,
936
00:45:57,046 --> 00:45:59,507
so she drove to Emma's Chelsea Road house.
937
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,595
As she arrived,
Bridget, dressed in Emma's coat,
938
00:46:03,678 --> 00:46:06,598
came out and started across the street.
939
00:46:06,681 --> 00:46:07,682
All right!
940
00:46:11,227 --> 00:46:12,228
All right.
941
00:46:13,938 --> 00:46:15,690
Why, Kitty?
942
00:46:15,773 --> 00:46:16,983
Emma never harmed you.
943
00:46:19,861 --> 00:46:21,738
But she was destroying you, dad.
944
00:46:21,821 --> 00:46:22,947
Or couldn't you see it?
945
00:46:24,199 --> 00:46:26,910
You were so magnificent
946
00:46:26,993 --> 00:46:29,996
with a God-given gift
that you-you prostituted
947
00:46:30,079 --> 00:46:32,790
to become a second-rate music hall comic.
948
00:46:32,874 --> 00:46:33,917
You couldn't break away.
949
00:46:35,293 --> 00:46:38,004
Every year, you got weaker
and more dependent
950
00:46:38,087 --> 00:46:40,423
while I stood there and watched.
951
00:46:40,507 --> 00:46:44,260
You couldn't help yourself, dad,
but I could.
952
00:46:45,720 --> 00:46:46,721
Don't you see?
953
00:46:48,014 --> 00:46:51,976
I had to kill her for you.
954
00:46:56,981 --> 00:46:59,067
Kitty.
955
00:46:59,150 --> 00:47:01,903
And I wouldn't have
let you go to jail, I swear.
956
00:47:04,113 --> 00:47:05,990
I know that, darlin'.
957
00:47:06,074 --> 00:47:07,200
I know that.
958
00:47:11,913 --> 00:47:13,081
Oh, dad.
959
00:47:17,252 --> 00:47:20,296
Oh, Kitty.
