(BIG BEN CHIMING THE HOUR)
4
00:01:22,916 --> 00:01:24,501
CLUBMAN #1:
No need for it at all.
5
00:01:24,585 --> 00:01:27,004
Reasonable foresight, that's all
that was necessary.
6
00:01:27,087 --> 00:01:29,339
We change from a primarily
agricultural country
7
00:01:29,423 --> 00:01:30,424
to an industrial one
8
00:01:30,507 --> 00:01:32,384
at the very time the colonies
fall into our hands.
9
00:01:32,467 --> 00:01:34,553
- And what do we do?
- Coffee gets worse every night.
10
00:01:34,636 --> 00:01:36,847
- Steward!
- CLUBMAN #1: Absolutely nothing.
11
00:01:36,930 --> 00:01:40,225
We pour money down the drain, buying
our foodstuffs from all over the world
12
00:01:40,309 --> 00:01:41,935
instead of developing the Empire.
13
00:01:42,060 --> 00:01:43,937
COLONEL:
Riordan, you're a doctor.
14
00:01:44,021 --> 00:01:45,814
This coffee's enough
to kill a man, isn't it?
15
00:01:45,897 --> 00:01:47,357
CLUBMAN #1:
With the obvious result.
16
00:01:47,441 --> 00:01:49,776
When we have to pay for a war,
we can't pay for our food.
17
00:01:49,860 --> 00:01:51,903
- COLONEL: Riordan!
- Oh, sorry.
18
00:01:52,279 --> 00:01:54,865
- This coffee. Shocking
- Mmm, terrible.
19
00:01:54,948 --> 00:01:56,783
- Ah, more coffee!
- Yes, sir.
20
00:01:56,867 --> 00:01:59,411
Excuse me, Doctor. You forgot
to sign your dinner cheque.
21
00:01:59,494 --> 00:02:00,579
Oh, yes.
22
00:02:00,662 --> 00:02:02,539
But still, things were
coming along quite nicely,
23
00:02:02,623 --> 00:02:03,874
until Hitler popped up.
24
00:02:03,957 --> 00:02:06,793
He didn't "pop up".
He was inevitable.
25
00:02:06,877 --> 00:02:08,629
Well, war was, anyway.
26
00:02:08,712 --> 00:02:12,090
What sort of mentality would have
precluded the possibility of war?
27
00:02:12,174 --> 00:02:13,675
CLUBMAN #2: Anyway,
neglecting the Empire
28
00:02:13,759 --> 00:02:16,303
started long before
this government got into power.
29
00:02:16,386 --> 00:02:18,889
CLUBMAN #1: Oh, it isn't any
specific government I'm blaming.
30
00:02:18,972 --> 00:02:20,932
It's our complacent insularism.
31
00:02:21,016 --> 00:02:22,601
- COLONEL: Oh, Empire!
- Allow me, sir.
32
00:02:22,684 --> 00:02:24,311
COLONEL: Knew a man once
who went to Australia.
33
00:02:24,394 --> 00:02:26,188
- CLUBMAN #1: Really?
- COLONEL: Mmm, Ian Pumphrey.
34
00:02:26,271 --> 00:02:28,440
Got into some sort of trouble,
packed him off,
35
00:02:28,523 --> 00:02:29,983
back inside a year.
36
00:02:30,067 --> 00:02:31,985
Couldn't hit it off
with the Australians.
37
00:02:32,069 --> 00:02:33,362
Sent him to Canada.
38
00:02:33,445 --> 00:02:35,030
No idea what happened to him.
39
00:02:35,113 --> 00:02:36,239
Ever met a Canadian?
40
00:02:36,323 --> 00:02:39,076
- I known Canada well.
- Fantastic lingo.
41
00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:42,204
Same as Americans, you know.
Met a Canadian once.
42
00:02:42,287 --> 00:02:44,331
Couldn't understand a word he said.
43
00:02:44,414 --> 00:02:47,876
I said, "Look here, young man,
if you're going to stay in the Empire,
44
00:02:47,959 --> 00:02:50,462
"you'll have to learn
how to speak English, you know."
45
00:02:50,545 --> 00:02:51,546
Took it quite well.
46
00:02:54,174 --> 00:02:56,510
- Good night, gentlemen.
- CLUBMEN: Good night.
47
00:02:56,593 --> 00:02:59,304
Do you realise that we're living
on American dollars, sir?
48
00:02:59,388 --> 00:03:02,349
That every mouthful of food we eat
costs dollars.
49
00:03:02,432 --> 00:03:03,975
COLONEL: Mmm.
Might get some decent coffee.
50
00:03:04,059 --> 00:03:06,770
- Allow me, sir.
- Oh, er, thank you.
51
00:03:19,282 --> 00:03:21,076
- Good night, sir.
- Good night.
52
00:03:27,916 --> 00:03:29,126

53
00:03:32,045 --> 00:03:33,964

00:03:54,067 --> 00:03:55,569

We didn't expect you back
for a fortnight.

00:05:04,971 --> 00:05:08,600
Torquay's postponed for a few days.
An urgent case came up.

We didn't expect you back
for a fortnight.

Mrs Riordan not home yet?
64
00:05:21,530 --> 00:05:24,866
No, sir. Madam said that
she might be rather late,
65
00:05:24,950 --> 00:05:26,618
and that I needn't wait up.
66
00:05:27,244 --> 00:05:29,913
- Shall I take your coat?
- No, don't do that.
67
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:32,916
I'll keep it on for a moment.
It's a little chilly.
68
00:05:32,999 --> 00:05:33,959
Very good, sir.

Wasn't someone calling
for Mrs Riordan tonight?

No, sir.
72
00:05:39,589 --> 00:05:42,259
Madam left the house
alone in a taxi.

I see.
74
00:05:45,637 --> 00:05:47,806
Well, you may as well
go back to bed, Aitken.

- I thought he'd gone away.
- He had gone!

- Well, he's come back, I guess.
- How long has he been in here?

00:09:30,111 --> 00:09:31,488
Quick, think.
Did we say anything?
116
00:09:31,571 --> 00:09:33,031
I don't think so.
Did we do anything?
117

No.
Bill, keep your head.
118
00:09:35,867 --> 00:09:37,911
You took me to the Rakovsky concert.

- Margaret couldn't go, so I asked you.
- Who's Margaret?

- Never mind about that. Do you understand?
- Yeah, okay, okay.

Afterwards we had some oysters
at the Savoy. The Grill.
122

- We didn't dance.
- Why not?
123
00:09:48,171 --> 00:09:49,672
For heaven's sake, don't argue.
124
00:09:49,756 --> 00:09:51,216

with other men.

Oh, Clive, er...
Can I help?
126
00:09:54,677 --> 00:09:55,804
I see you've managed.
127
00:09:55,887 --> 00:09:57,806
Yes, I've managed.
Thanks all the same.
128
00:09:57,889 --> 00:10:00,433
- Why did you come back, darling?
- I changed my mind.
129
00:10:00,517 --> 00:10:03,228
"What did I want with a holiday?"
I asked myself.
130
00:10:03,311 --> 00:10:05,855
A holiday away from
my beautiful wife!
131
00:10:05,939 --> 00:10:07,357

132
00:10:08,066 --> 00:10:09,943
And here's yours, Bill.
133
00:10:10,026 --> 00:10:11,736
- Thanks.
- And here's mine.
134
00:10:16,574 --> 00:10:18,451
Do sit down, please.
135
00:10:19,661 --> 00:10:21,621
No, no,
over there on the sofa.
136
00:10:24,249 --> 00:10:25,750
That's the idea.
137
00:10:26,501 --> 00:10:28,670
- Well, good luck!
- Cheers!
138
00:10:28,753 --> 00:10:31,422
By the way, Margaret couldn't go
to the concert after all, so...
139
00:10:31,506 --> 00:10:32,632
So you went.
140
00:10:32,715 --> 00:10:33,466
Yes.
141
00:10:33,550 --> 00:10:35,385
Bill happened to phone
about something or other
142
00:10:35,468 --> 00:10:37,637
just after Margaret rang off, so...
143
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,139
So I got me a free seat.
144
00:10:39,222 --> 00:10:40,473
Did you enjoy the concert?
145
00:10:40,557 --> 00:10:42,684
- Oh, swell!
- They played everything I love.
146
00:10:42,767 --> 00:10:45,019
- Many there?
- Overflowing, I'd say.
147
00:10:45,103 --> 00:10:47,605
- They were standing at the back.
- Remarkable!
148
00:10:47,689 --> 00:10:50,108
So you saw the house
full to overflowing.
149
00:10:50,191 --> 00:10:53,278
- Sure. What of it?
- Really remarkable.
150
00:10:53,403 --> 00:10:55,822
And you, my dear, heard
your favourite music played,
151
00:10:55,905 --> 00:10:58,241
interpreted by Rakovsky.
152
00:10:58,324 --> 00:10:59,826
Some of it, yes.
153
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,245
Really remarkable imagination.
154
00:11:02,829 --> 00:11:05,373
Such is the power
of the master musician.
155
00:11:05,957 --> 00:11:08,042
Even if he isn't there.
156
00:11:09,085 --> 00:11:11,212
You see, there was
no concert tonight.
157
00:11:11,421 --> 00:11:12,714
It was cancelled.
158
00:11:13,006 --> 00:11:14,716
Rakovsky was taken to
a nursing home
159
00:11:14,799 --> 00:11:17,552
half an hour before the performance
was due to begin.

Yes...
162
00:11:28,980 --> 00:11:31,316
I too am sitting here
wondering what I'd say
163
00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:33,401
in either of your positions.
164
00:11:33,526 --> 00:11:35,987
But, no, I can't think
of anything either.
165
00:11:36,404 --> 00:11:37,572
Bill, please go.
166
00:11:37,655 --> 00:11:40,617
- Yes, I guess if you'll, er, pardon...
- Good night, Bill!
167
00:11:40,992 --> 00:11:42,827
Good night, Storm. I...
168

I don't know what to say.
169
00:11:44,746 --> 00:11:46,581

- Put that gun away at once!
- Wait a minute! Clive!
172
00:11:49,459 --> 00:11:51,377
Just sit down.
173
00:11:51,461 --> 00:11:52,712
Both of you.
174
00:12:05,642 --> 00:12:07,185

00:12:49,394 --> 00:12:50,645
Fine, thanks.
194
00:12:51,187 --> 00:12:54,023
I've finished a case
a little earlier than I expected,
195
00:12:54,107 --> 00:12:57,360
and I told my wife I'd try
and join her later if I could,
196
00:12:57,443 --> 00:13:00,697
but I've very stupidly forgotten
where she said she was going.
197
00:13:00,780 --> 00:13:02,615
Is she in the Grill,
by any chance?
198
00:13:02,824 --> 00:13:05,827
She'd be with that, er...

Well, Bill, how was that?

Oh, for heaven's sake,
stop this ridiculous nonsense!
208

I should have come to you
in the first place, I know.

I knew you'd still be up.

Well, I saw you,
but you didn't see me.

Very clever, my dear,
but too late.

I'm sorry that you
found out tonight.
234
00:15:07,448 --> 00:15:09,951
I was so looking forward to you
opening The Times in the morning

and seeing the criticism
of the concert.

keep turning my head.

Well now, er...
To sum up the situation,
239
00:15:24,799 --> 00:15:28,511
you, Bill, want to tell me something
that I know already, and...
240
00:15:28,594 --> 00:15:30,513
you, Storm, won't let him.

going to do yesterday,

and the day before that.
245
00:15:37,645 --> 00:15:41,023
And every day, right back
to the first time you both met.
246
00:15:41,482 --> 00:15:43,609

(CHUCKLING)
Yes.
248
00:15:44,861 --> 00:15:48,281
I saw you and Storm
laughing and chatting together,
249
00:15:48,364 --> 00:15:52,827
and, to my long-experienced eye,
flashed the familiar message,
250
00:15:52,910 --> 00:15:56,956
"Storm's under full sail again.
The calm has lifted."
251
00:15:57,540 --> 00:16:00,751
You see, I decided what to do
with the next one

I know exactly
what I'm going to do.
256
00:16:11,637 --> 00:16:13,389
I'm going to kill you.

- Now, wait a minute, Clive!
- Don't be a fool!

He's not a fool.
259
00:16:18,269 --> 00:16:20,438
He's not gonna shoot me
like this in cold blood.

are you interested in thrillers
and murder stories?

avoid a scandal, shut up!

was it worth it?

made to look a fool in front of Bill,

and you're dying to shoot me,
aren't you?

- Well, why don't you pull the trigger?
- Don't come near me!

- But of course.

you figured all this out?

go out together.

00:20:27,351 --> 00:20:29,019
but this thing...
346
00:20:29,103 --> 00:20:31,731
it really seems
to have got hold of his mind.
347
00:20:31,814 --> 00:20:33,816
I didn't mind Saturday afternoons
348
00:20:33,899 --> 00:20:35,693
or even Sunday mornings.
349
00:20:35,776 --> 00:20:39,280
But now,
every night after his office.
350
00:20:39,697 --> 00:20:41,407
It's too much.
351
00:20:41,866 --> 00:20:43,909
There he goes,
with that ridiculous little boat,
352
00:20:43,993 --> 00:20:46,996
straight to the Round Pond
in Kensington Gardens.
353
00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:48,914
And he just plays and...
354
00:20:49,290 --> 00:20:50,624
plays and plays.
355
00:20:51,125 --> 00:20:53,294
Well, Mrs Humphries,
from what you've told me,
356
00:20:53,377 --> 00:20:56,964
I shouldn't say there's anything abnormal
about your husband's behaviour.
357

(DOG BARKING)
358
00:21:00,551 --> 00:21:01,802
Be quiet, Monty.
359
00:21:01,886 --> 00:21:03,846
The last patient's with the doctor now,
Mrs Riordan.
360
00:21:03,929 --> 00:21:06,682
Oh, thank you.
I'll wait a bit. Come on.
361
00:21:09,518 --> 00:21:12,021
MRS HUMPHRIES:
I can never thank you enough, Doctor.
362
00:21:12,104 --> 00:21:14,356
As you say,
it might have been worse.
363
00:21:14,482 --> 00:21:15,900
It could have been kites.
364
00:21:15,983 --> 00:21:17,693
- (MONTY BARKING)
- Oh!
365
00:21:17,777 --> 00:21:20,654
Hello, Monty.
He won't hurt you.
366
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,241
You're a wicked, naughty dog.
I'll take him.
367
00:21:25,618 --> 00:21:28,078
Well, er...
Good afternoon, Mrs Humphries.
368
00:21:28,162 --> 00:21:31,415
Oh, good afternoon, Doctor,
and thank you again.
369
00:21:31,499 --> 00:21:33,709
Not a bit.
It's a pleasure.
370
00:21:36,128 --> 00:21:37,797
No more patients tonight, Doctor.
371
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,256
Oh, that's splendid.
Well, er...
372
00:21:39,340 --> 00:21:41,509
- You can go, Miss Stevens.
- Thank you.
373
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,847
Well, my dear,
what brings you down here?
374
00:21:46,931 --> 00:21:49,016
- Can I have some money, please?
- How much?
375
00:21:49,099 --> 00:21:51,727
Ten pounds.
I lost it to Mar at bridge.
376
00:21:51,811 --> 00:21:53,479
Do you want a lift home?
377
00:21:53,562 --> 00:21:56,232
No, thanks.
She's outside with her car.
378
00:21:56,315 --> 00:21:59,276
By the way, I've had a letter
from Bill Kronin.
379
00:22:03,197 --> 00:22:04,365
There.
380
00:22:04,949 --> 00:22:06,116
Come on.
381
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,244
So you've had a letter
from Bill Kronin?
382
00:22:08,327 --> 00:22:09,328
Yes.
383
00:22:09,411 --> 00:22:11,539
- When was this?
- Just before lunch.
384
00:22:11,622 --> 00:22:13,916
- So he's alive, then?
- Naturally.
385
00:22:13,999 --> 00:22:16,919
- Where is he?
- He doesn't want you to know.
386
00:22:17,419 --> 00:22:19,338
May I see the letter?
387
00:22:19,421 --> 00:22:20,756
I've burnt it.
388
00:22:21,340 --> 00:22:24,260
Well, it's nice to know
that he's turned up again.
389
00:22:25,052 --> 00:22:26,428
Isn't it!
390
00:22:26,512 --> 00:22:29,390
Let me see, now,
it must be, er...
391
00:22:29,473 --> 00:22:32,393
five days since I scared
the daylight out of him.
392
00:22:33,060 --> 00:22:35,855
Frankly, you know, I didn't think
you'd hear from him again.
393
00:22:35,938 --> 00:22:39,358
You surely didn't think your
petty jealousy would put Bill off?
394
00:22:39,441 --> 00:22:40,401
Yes.
395
00:22:40,818 --> 00:22:42,987
I wish I hadn't burnt that letter.
396
00:22:43,070 --> 00:22:44,905
Then you could have read
what I read.
397
00:22:44,989 --> 00:22:46,657
Go on.
I won't tell anyone.
398
00:22:46,824 --> 00:22:49,326
Bill's waiting for me,
do you hear?
399
00:22:49,410 --> 00:22:51,328
Bill's waiting for me.
400
00:22:51,412 --> 00:22:53,873
He loves me,
and wants me to divorce you.
401
00:22:53,956 --> 00:22:57,334
He's waiting for me, and loves me
as you've never loved me.
402
00:22:58,502 --> 00:23:00,838
When are you off, my dear?
403
00:23:02,089 --> 00:23:03,382
Oh, by the way...
404
00:23:03,465 --> 00:23:05,259
What did Scotland Yard say?
405
00:23:05,342 --> 00:23:06,343
Scotland Yard?
406
00:23:06,427 --> 00:23:08,345
Yes, weren't they pleased?
407
00:23:08,429 --> 00:23:10,514
You surely told them of your letter.
408
00:23:10,598 --> 00:23:11,849
Why should I?
409
00:23:11,932 --> 00:23:14,602
Well, really, my dear, the Yard
have spent the most strenuous few days
410
00:23:14,685 --> 00:23:16,770
searching high and low
for Bill Kronin,
411
00:23:16,854 --> 00:23:18,314
dead or alive.
412
00:23:18,397 --> 00:23:20,274
The police on the Continent
in the States,
413
00:23:20,357 --> 00:23:22,151
they're still searching for him.
414
00:23:22,234 --> 00:23:24,278
And you know where he is?
415
00:23:24,361 --> 00:23:26,071
But you must tell them at once.
416
00:23:26,155 --> 00:23:27,323
It was a private letter.
417
00:23:27,406 --> 00:23:30,576
Now, now, just a minute.
I come into this too, you know.
418
00:23:30,659 --> 00:23:32,494
- You?
- But of course.
419
00:23:32,578 --> 00:23:33,954
Since you told me about the letter,
420
00:23:34,038 --> 00:23:36,874
I'd be an accessory if I kept
the knowledge to myself,
421
00:23:36,957 --> 00:23:39,084
and there's a most awful penalty
for that.
422
00:23:39,168 --> 00:23:42,004
Hundreds of pounds,
or jail or something.
423
00:23:42,087 --> 00:23:44,006
My course is plain.
424
00:23:44,089 --> 00:23:45,424

He's waiting for you, and...

00:23:57,519 --> 00:24:00,147
he loves you as
I have never loved you.
433

I still make the front page.

appear too inquisitive,

what's in that room?

But I have a bath, back in there.

Yeah, this is
another sort of bath.

00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,150
Yes, I could eat.

465
00:29:48,245 --> 00:29:50,038
Okay, considering the cold.
466
00:29:50,122 --> 00:29:51,665
How about
something warmer to wear?

- Sure.

Oh, don't apologise, old man.

to worry about hot water,

You're too, too kind.
You really are.

Still...
479
00:30:20,902 --> 00:30:23,822
and I don't want you
to think I'm ungrateful, but...
480
00:30:23,905 --> 00:30:25,991
there are one or two
more important things
481
00:30:26,074 --> 00:30:27,951
that I'd like to get cleared up.
482
00:30:28,035 --> 00:30:31,538
Such as, where am I?
What am I doing here?
483
00:30:31,997 --> 00:30:34,666
How much longer do you expect
a man to eat this garbage?!
484
00:30:35,625 --> 00:30:37,919
I'm sorry about the food, I...
485
00:30:38,003 --> 00:30:40,088
I really am,
but it's very difficult for me.
486
00:30:40,672 --> 00:30:42,215
Difficult for you?
487
00:30:42,299 --> 00:30:44,176
Look, a gag's a gag.
488
00:30:44,259 --> 00:30:46,678
You've scared me.
Is that the general idea?
489
00:30:46,762 --> 00:30:48,722
Okay, so I'm scared.
490
00:30:48,847 --> 00:30:51,975
I'm sorry about Storm,
I won't take her to dinner anymore.
491
00:30:52,059 --> 00:30:54,353
And now, can I please go home?
492
00:30:54,436 --> 00:30:55,604
You don't seem to realise
493
00:30:55,687 --> 00:30:57,981
there's more in this than me
just trying to scare you,
494
00:30:58,065 --> 00:30:59,649
or your being sorry.
495
00:31:00,025 --> 00:31:01,818
A sensible and civilised husband
496
00:31:01,943 --> 00:31:05,364
doesn't object to other men
admiring his wife.
497
00:31:05,781 --> 00:31:08,784
He can even understand her
returning the admiration.
498
00:31:08,867 --> 00:31:12,871
But when this, er...
mutual attraction becomes a habit,
499
00:31:12,954 --> 00:31:16,291
and it's flaunted repeatedly
under his very nose,
500
00:31:16,375 --> 00:31:19,669
under the impudent assumption
that he's being deceived...
501
00:31:20,420 --> 00:31:21,630
why, then, the...
502
00:31:21,713 --> 00:31:26,676
the intelligence of the sensible
and civilised husband is insulted,
503
00:31:27,052 --> 00:31:31,056
and he's reduced to the most insensible
and uncivilised behaviour.
504
00:31:32,099 --> 00:31:33,350
So, you see...
505
00:31:33,433 --> 00:31:36,228
through you, I'm going to
make my wife suffer
506
00:31:36,311 --> 00:31:39,439
for a long list of calculated insults.
507
00:31:40,315 --> 00:31:42,734
Yes, I'm going to kill you, Kronin.
508
00:31:42,818 --> 00:31:43,944
By boring me to death.
509
00:31:44,027 --> 00:31:46,446
And my wife's going to
suspect that I killed you.
510
00:31:46,571 --> 00:31:48,240
She may even be certain of it.
511
00:31:48,323 --> 00:31:50,617
But she'll never be able to prove it.
512
00:31:50,867 --> 00:31:53,161
You're breaking my heart, Clive.
513
00:31:53,995 --> 00:31:55,956
I'll see you tomorrow.
514
00:31:56,039 --> 00:31:57,290
Hey, wait a minute.
515
00:31:57,374 --> 00:31:59,668
Aren't you gonna explain some more
about what I'm doing here?
516
00:31:59,751 --> 00:32:00,752
No.
517
00:32:00,836 --> 00:32:03,213
See if you can work it out
for yourself.

00:32:03,296 --> 00:32:06,967

instead of killing you right away.
519
00:32:07,050 --> 00:32:08,218
I did.

Oh, hello, my dear.
526
00:33:10,655 --> 00:33:12,449
I want to talk to you
about that letter.

00:33:14,409 --> 00:33:17,204
- (TRAINS STOPPING)
- That letter from Bill Kronin.
529
00:33:17,412 --> 00:33:18,788
Oh, that letter.
530
00:33:19,122 --> 00:33:21,333
You knew there couldn't be a letter.
531
00:33:22,042 --> 00:33:23,710
- Or any letter.
- Did I?
532
00:33:23,877 --> 00:33:25,754
Because you've killed him,
haven't you?
533
00:33:25,837 --> 00:33:29,216
You killed him that night I left you
alone together in the lounge.
534
00:33:29,341 --> 00:33:31,801
So, you see,
I have no alternative
535
00:33:31,885 --> 00:33:34,679
but to tell all I know
to Scotland Yard.
536
00:33:34,763 --> 00:33:37,807
My dear Storm, whether you believe
that Bill is alive or dead,
537
00:33:37,891 --> 00:33:40,227
in Mexico City,
or whether I killed him,
538
00:33:40,310 --> 00:33:43,813
one thing is quite certain.
You won't go to Scotland Yard.
539
00:33:44,481 --> 00:33:46,525
- Why not?
- You know that any investigation
540
00:33:46,608 --> 00:33:48,860
into my relationship
with Bill Kronin,
541
00:33:48,944 --> 00:33:51,905
will inevitably uncover
your own indiscretions.
542
00:33:52,572 --> 00:33:56,368
And, as you love your reputation
more than your sense of duty,
543
00:33:56,451 --> 00:33:59,579
you won't jeopardise it
by going to Scotland Yard.

Well, it depends.

00:36:48,540 --> 00:36:51,042
If I had a broken leg,
how long would it take to mend?
582

Oh, about six weeks. Why?
583
00:36:54,462 --> 00:36:57,465
Well, I heard that, er...
one of the greatest delights in life
584
00:36:57,549 --> 00:36:59,217
is to break your leg
585
00:36:59,300 --> 00:37:02,053
and read Boswell's
Life of Samuel Johnson in bed.
586
00:37:02,137 --> 00:37:04,305
How about it?
Have I got six weeks?
587

00:37:11,730 --> 00:37:14,482
Can't you stick around
a little while, and talk?
591
00:37:15,859 --> 00:37:17,610
Gets kinda lonesome.
592
00:37:18,153 --> 00:37:20,780
Oh, all right.
Just for a few minutes.
593
00:37:20,864 --> 00:37:22,866
But I must stick to my timetable.
594
00:37:24,117 --> 00:37:26,077
What shall we talk about?
595
00:37:27,620 --> 00:37:28,955
War of nerves.
596
00:37:29,038 --> 00:37:30,498
What, politics?
597
00:37:30,582 --> 00:37:31,875
No, no.
598
00:37:31,958 --> 00:37:33,334
This war of nerves.
599
00:37:33,418 --> 00:37:35,420
- You, me.
- Oh.
600
00:37:37,338 --> 00:37:40,300
That perfect murder plan of yours.
I've got it all figured out.
601
00:37:40,383 --> 00:37:42,302
- You have?
- Mmm.
602
00:37:44,596 --> 00:37:46,181
You haven't got one.
603
00:37:46,681 --> 00:37:48,767
Maybe, one day,
you thought you had one.
604
00:37:48,850 --> 00:37:51,644
But now that you've gotten me here,
it doesn't look so good.
605
00:37:52,187 --> 00:37:54,105
So, you're stuck with me.
606
00:37:54,189 --> 00:37:55,356
So what do you do?
607
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,442
You go ahead
and kill me anyhow?
608
00:37:57,525 --> 00:37:59,360
No.
Oh, no, you're too smart.
609
00:38:00,236 --> 00:38:02,781
You switch, and you hope
I won't notice.
610
00:38:03,740 --> 00:38:07,076
A cold war, the war of nerves,
that's what you switch to.

The mysterious hot water bottles,
612
00:38:09,954 --> 00:38:13,708
the dark room with the green light,
the rubber gloves, the works.
613
00:38:14,709 --> 00:38:18,046
Fairly nicely staged, Clive,
but it won't work.
614
00:38:18,129 --> 00:38:19,339
Oh, no.
615
00:38:19,422 --> 00:38:21,424
I've been through all that before,
at college.
616
00:38:21,508 --> 00:38:23,593
Only we do it much better.
617
00:38:23,676 --> 00:38:25,178
Kill me, Clive?
618
00:38:25,887 --> 00:38:27,472
You can't even get off the ground.
619
00:38:27,889 --> 00:38:29,390
Don't you kid yourself.
620
00:38:30,016 --> 00:38:32,560
The way I'm going to kill you
is immaterial.
621
00:38:32,727 --> 00:38:36,606
And the manner in which I dispose
of your body presents no obstacles.
622
00:38:36,689 --> 00:38:39,734
- Keep whistlin'.
- My plan is roughly this.
623
00:38:39,818 --> 00:38:43,363
I've taken out an insurance policy
against being hanged.
624
00:38:43,822 --> 00:38:47,534
The premium being your captivity here
for a few months.
625
00:38:47,617 --> 00:38:50,036
You're missing, there's been
a hue and cry for you.
626
00:38:50,119 --> 00:38:52,747
But, so far, I haven't come
into the matter at all.
627
00:38:52,831 --> 00:38:56,668
But supposing, unbeknown to me,
I am a suspect?
628
00:38:56,751 --> 00:38:59,963
Supposing, even now, they're
building up a case against me,
629
00:39:00,046 --> 00:39:04,342
and one day they find that I'm
responsible for your disappearance.
630
00:39:04,425 --> 00:39:08,096
You see at once how awkward it would be
if I had already murdered you.
631
00:39:08,179 --> 00:39:09,764
Doesn't bear thinking about.
632
00:39:09,848 --> 00:39:12,267
In theory, you're as good as dead.
633
00:39:12,350 --> 00:39:13,977
But, should the necessity arise,
634
00:39:14,060 --> 00:39:16,521
you can be produced alive,
at any moment.
635
00:39:17,188 --> 00:39:20,233
And now, Bill...
and this is most important.
636
00:39:20,733 --> 00:39:24,696
Your transition from
the living state to the dead
637
00:39:24,779 --> 00:39:26,656
won't add any further clues
638
00:39:26,739 --> 00:39:30,243
to those surrounding
the mystery of your disappearance.
639
00:39:30,410 --> 00:39:31,995
It's a great load off my mind.
640
00:39:32,287 --> 00:39:35,874
So, if the authorities
can't solve your disappearing act,
641
00:39:36,541 --> 00:39:40,211
I assure you they won't
solve the mystery of your death.
642
00:39:41,754 --> 00:39:43,673
Oh, I congratulate you, Clive.
643
00:39:44,507 --> 00:39:46,593
- I really wanna hand it to ya.
- Oh...
644
00:39:46,676 --> 00:39:47,927
Thank you.
645
00:39:48,720 --> 00:39:50,722
Oh, no. Well, er...
646
00:39:50,805 --> 00:39:52,765
Do... Do you like my plan?
647
00:39:52,849 --> 00:39:55,852
Yes, not bad.
Not at all bad.
648
00:39:57,020 --> 00:40:01,149
Well, I suppose I can learn Boswell's
Life of Johnson by heart then,
649
00:40:01,232 --> 00:40:02,400
for all the good it'll do me.
650
00:40:02,483 --> 00:40:05,320
Yes, I mustn't forget
the first volume tomorrow.
651
00:40:05,445 --> 00:40:06,988
Thanks, pal.
652
00:40:07,530 --> 00:40:09,699
Clive, just one little thing.
653
00:40:09,782 --> 00:40:12,327
- What?
- When it comes down to it,
654
00:40:12,452 --> 00:40:14,454
you won't kill me.
655
00:40:14,537 --> 00:40:16,080
You're not the type.
656
00:40:16,164 --> 00:40:18,166
You hang on to that, Bill.
657
00:40:26,925 --> 00:40:29,469

693
00:43:07,752 --> 00:43:09,670
Did he have a car here,
do you know, or in the garage?
694
00:43:09,754 --> 00:43:11,672
I really couldn't say.
695
00:43:12,298 --> 00:43:13,591
Thank you, Miss Stevens.
696
00:43:13,674 --> 00:43:14,884
Good night.
697
00:43:16,052 --> 00:43:17,386
Good night.
698
00:43:19,889 --> 00:43:21,849
Good old Monty!
Good dog!
699
00:43:22,100 --> 00:43:23,851
Clive, you couldn't have
brought me a nicer present.
700
00:43:23,935 --> 00:43:26,020
I haven't talked to a human being
in four months.
701
00:43:26,104 --> 00:43:27,563
Thanks, pal!
702
00:43:30,399 --> 00:43:32,735
Hey, Monty, what goes on
in that room, huh?
703
00:43:32,819 --> 00:43:34,403
Go see what's up,
and come back and tell me.
704
00:43:34,487 --> 00:43:35,780
Go on. Go!
705
00:43:35,947 --> 00:43:36,989
Go!
706
00:43:39,158 --> 00:43:40,743
Hello, Monty.
707
00:43:40,993 --> 00:43:42,662
You're going to be
quite a problem.
708
00:43:42,745 --> 00:43:45,248
Come, Monty.
Come on, come, come!
709
00:43:45,331 --> 00:43:47,708
Attaboy!
That's a good boy!
710
00:43:47,792 --> 00:43:50,878
Come on, now, tell us.
What's it all about in there, huh?
711
00:43:50,962 --> 00:43:52,380
What'd you see?
712
00:43:54,132 --> 00:43:56,592
You gonna leave Monty
with me, Clive?
713
00:43:57,635 --> 00:43:59,720
Oh, you're not leaving already?
714
00:43:59,804 --> 00:44:01,889
We've got a lot to talk over,
haven't we, old man?
715
00:44:01,973 --> 00:44:04,142
No, as a matter of fact,
I've got half an hour to fill in
716
00:44:04,225 --> 00:44:06,394
before I'm sure
the coast is clear.
717
00:44:06,477 --> 00:44:08,062
"Coast is clear"?
718
00:44:08,146 --> 00:44:10,481
News of the outside world, Bill.
719
00:44:10,565 --> 00:44:13,151
Storm nearly followed me here,
thanks to him.
720
00:44:13,234 --> 00:44:15,903
Mmm, good boy!
Better luck next time!
721
00:44:16,237 --> 00:44:18,072
I see you've
nearly finished Boswell.
722
00:44:18,656 --> 00:44:20,741
- Would you like something else?
- Yes.
723
00:44:20,825 --> 00:44:23,369
How about a Spanish dictionary
and grammar?
724
00:44:23,452 --> 00:44:25,580
I've always wanted
to learn Spanish.
725
00:44:25,663 --> 00:44:27,832
This seems like
as good a time as any.
726
00:44:28,207 --> 00:44:30,501
Who knows,
I may go to Spain one day.
727
00:44:31,169 --> 00:44:33,045
Let's see now, er...
728
00:44:33,129 --> 00:44:34,922
You've been here four months,
729
00:44:35,006 --> 00:44:37,758
and you've read Boswell
in four volumes.
730
00:44:38,843 --> 00:44:43,014
I should now recommend
something in one volume.
731
00:44:43,181 --> 00:44:45,391
One thin volume.
732
00:44:51,189 --> 00:44:52,440
Tell me...
733
00:44:52,523 --> 00:44:54,692
Do you believe
in a life after death?
734
00:44:55,651 --> 00:44:57,528
In a vague sort of way.
735
00:44:57,612 --> 00:44:59,155
Yeah, I suppose I do.
736
00:44:59,447 --> 00:45:01,866
I never banked on it though,
until recently.
737
00:45:01,949 --> 00:45:03,326
I take it you're not particular
738
00:45:03,409 --> 00:45:06,120
about what happens to your body
after you're dead?
739
00:45:06,621 --> 00:45:08,039
No.
740
00:45:08,289 --> 00:45:10,791
No, I suppose the guy that gets
blown to bits by a bomb,
741
00:45:10,875 --> 00:45:13,252
and there's no remains to
preserve afterward,
742
00:45:13,336 --> 00:45:15,671
will make it,
if there's anything to make.
743
00:45:15,838 --> 00:45:19,091
The disposal of the body's always
been one of the greatest problems
744
00:45:19,175 --> 00:45:21,302
facing the would-be murderer.
745
00:45:21,385 --> 00:45:26,641
Many excellently conceived and
meticulously planned murders have failed
746
00:45:26,724 --> 00:45:30,811
when the moment arrives to do
the disappearing trick with the remains.
747
00:45:31,771 --> 00:45:35,107
Burning would seem a very simple
and tempting way out,
748
00:45:35,733 --> 00:45:38,861
but it usually fails when,
to the murderer's horror,
749
00:45:38,945 --> 00:45:41,697
his victim's body simply refuses
to turn to ashes.
750
00:45:42,490 --> 00:45:45,910
Burial in the garden,
in the cellars or the like,
751
00:45:45,993 --> 00:45:48,746
too often proves
but a temporary hiding place.
752
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,207
Taking the body to sea
in a little boat
753
00:45:51,290 --> 00:45:54,418
and throwing it overboard,
well weighted,
754
00:45:54,502 --> 00:45:56,879
is not really to be recommended.
755
00:45:56,963 --> 00:45:59,757
Oh, there must be plenty
of quiet places in England.
756
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:03,219
Why not dig just a sort of big hole
and put me in?
757
00:46:03,636 --> 00:46:07,390
Burial in some secluded spot?
Definitely no, Bill.
758
00:46:07,473 --> 00:46:08,849
Well, why not?
759
00:46:08,933 --> 00:46:12,436
Well, you see, fate usually
seems to decree that the, er...
760
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,815
spot which has remained
secluded for centuries
761
00:46:15,898 --> 00:46:18,192
suddenly becomes
the Mecca of picnic parties,
762
00:46:18,317 --> 00:46:21,612
with dogs that dig holes
unerringly in the grave.
763
00:46:21,737 --> 00:46:23,948
Well, why not chop me up
into little pieces
764
00:46:24,031 --> 00:46:26,117
and sort of, er...
sprinkle me around?
765
00:46:26,284 --> 00:46:28,327
Oh, no,
I can't feel remotely attracted.
766
00:46:28,661 --> 00:46:30,746
Didn't I read of the case
of a guy who, um...
767
00:46:30,830 --> 00:46:32,999
shoved his victim into a trunk
and, er...
768
00:46:33,082 --> 00:46:35,459
checked the trunk in a cloakroom?
How about that?
769
00:46:35,584 --> 00:46:37,628
No, no, most old-fashioned!
770
00:46:37,712 --> 00:46:40,172
It's almost
an English institution.
771
00:46:40,256 --> 00:46:43,175
And the percentage of failures
is most discouraging.
772
00:46:43,259 --> 00:46:44,760
You can see
I've given the matter
773
00:46:44,844 --> 00:46:46,929
quite a considerable
amount of thought.
774
00:46:47,013 --> 00:46:49,473
And you're stuck with it,
and no way out.
775
00:46:49,682 --> 00:46:50,808
Oh, too bad.
776
00:46:51,142 --> 00:46:52,476
On the contrary.
777
00:46:52,727 --> 00:46:55,396
I've found a unique
and effective way out.
778
00:46:55,479 --> 00:46:56,522
Oh?
779
00:46:56,605 --> 00:47:00,067
The answer to my problem
was in those rubber water bottles.
780
00:47:00,401 --> 00:47:02,987
In there is a concentrate
which I guarantee
781
00:47:03,070 --> 00:47:05,489
will dissolve every atom
of flesh and bone
782
00:47:05,573 --> 00:47:08,159
in the human body
within a few hours.
783
00:47:08,743 --> 00:47:10,077
Congratulations!
784
00:47:10,453 --> 00:47:11,871
The formula's not complex.
785
00:47:13,039 --> 00:47:14,540
Should have quite a sale.
786
00:47:14,874 --> 00:47:17,918
My main problem was
to assure that the solution
787
00:47:18,002 --> 00:47:21,130
had the desired effect
upon the flesh,
788
00:47:21,213 --> 00:47:26,052
without reacting in a similar fashion
towards iron, steel, brass, lead,
789
00:47:26,135 --> 00:47:29,096
and other metals used
in plumbing arrangements.
790
00:47:30,639 --> 00:47:33,059
So I'm to be poured
down the drain, is that it?
791
00:47:33,225 --> 00:47:34,352
Exactly.
792
00:47:34,435 --> 00:47:36,729
You will appreciate the convenience.
793
00:47:36,854 --> 00:47:38,647
- Any questions?
- No.
794
00:47:38,731 --> 00:47:40,149
Yes!
795
00:47:40,608 --> 00:47:42,943
What goes into
that concoction of yours?
796
00:47:43,694 --> 00:47:45,529
You did say "body",
797
00:47:45,821 --> 00:47:47,698
meaning "dead body"?
798
00:47:47,823 --> 00:47:51,202
Yes.
Pieces of dead body.
799
00:47:52,411 --> 00:47:53,996
I suppose you've
thought of some way
800
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:56,457
of causing the body
to become dead?
801
00:47:56,540 --> 00:47:57,917
Oh, yes.
802
00:47:58,584 --> 00:47:59,668
Old age, perhaps?
803
00:47:59,752 --> 00:48:02,129
(CHUCKLING)
No, something quite humdrum.
804
00:48:02,463 --> 00:48:05,132
Oh, you could do
better than that, Clive.
805
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:07,468
I don't want you to think
that I'm trying to
806
00:48:07,551 --> 00:48:09,095
poke holes
in your little scheme,
807
00:48:09,178 --> 00:48:12,223
or trying delaying tactics,
or anything like that...
808
00:48:12,348 --> 00:48:14,058
How do you mean?
809
00:48:14,141 --> 00:48:16,894
...but are you sure this mixture
of yours really works?
810
00:48:16,977 --> 00:48:19,772
Oh, dear. I wish you hadn't
reminded me of that.
811
00:48:19,855 --> 00:48:22,233
You see, our little chat
has quite made me forget
812
00:48:22,316 --> 00:48:26,153
a very unhappy decision
I've been forced to make.
813
00:48:26,445 --> 00:48:28,072
Here! Monty!
814
00:48:28,197 --> 00:48:29,532
Here, boy!
815
00:48:31,325 --> 00:48:33,160
You see, I've no alternative.
816
00:48:33,244 --> 00:48:35,037
Our little friend
followed me here once.
817
00:48:35,121 --> 00:48:36,205
He'd do it again.
818
00:48:36,288 --> 00:48:40,042
If that's your idea of a gag, you've
sure got a corny sense of humour.
819
00:48:40,126 --> 00:48:41,752
Come along, Monty.
820
00:48:42,962 --> 00:48:45,089
Oh, Clive, for Pete's sakes!
821
00:48:45,172 --> 00:48:47,466
Come here, Monty!
Come here! Come here! Come!
822
00:48:48,259 --> 00:48:50,553
Here, Monty! Come!
Come on! Come on!
823
00:48:50,636 --> 00:48:52,680
- Monty!
- Clive, you wouldn't. You-You couldn't...
824
00:48:52,763 --> 00:48:54,890
- Here, Monty! Come here, boy!
- Monty! Here!
825
00:48:54,974 --> 00:48:57,101
- BILL: Come here, boy!
- Monty! Come on!
826
00:48:57,184 --> 00:48:59,645
Come, Monty! Come on!
Come on! Monty!
827
00:49:00,229 --> 00:49:02,148
- No!
- CLIVE: There's a boy.
828
00:49:02,231 --> 00:49:04,191
BILL:
Oh, no! Clive!
829
00:49:04,275 --> 00:49:06,068
Oh, Clive!
830
00:49:08,279 --> 00:49:09,280
(HEAVY THUD)
831
00:49:11,615 --> 00:49:13,367
(SNAPPING FINGERS)
Here, Monty! Here, Monty! Come on!
832
00:49:13,451 --> 00:49:14,910
Monty, come here!
Come here, boy!
833
00:49:14,994 --> 00:49:15,870
No, Monty, no!
834
00:49:15,953 --> 00:49:17,204
Monty, Monty, come here!
835
00:49:19,999 --> 00:49:22,960
Come on, Monty!
Come on! Monty!
836
00:49:23,461 --> 00:49:25,254
Come, come, come, come!
837
00:49:25,337 --> 00:49:28,591
Monty, come here, boy!
Monty, please, please...
838
00:49:29,008 --> 00:49:31,385
Come on, you fool!
Monty!
839
00:49:31,469 --> 00:49:33,345
(GROANING)
840
00:49:33,429 --> 00:49:36,932
Attaboy! Good dog!
Oh, you dumb dog, you...
841
00:49:37,016 --> 00:49:38,100
Give me that dog.
842
00:49:38,350 --> 00:49:39,685
Come and get him!
843
00:49:39,768 --> 00:49:41,687
(LAUGHING)
844
00:49:42,605 --> 00:49:45,816
Good boy! Aah!
(CONTINUES LAUGHING)
845
00:49:46,025 --> 00:49:47,401
Ah, good boy!
846
00:49:47,485 --> 00:49:49,195
Well, I understood
that any dog that is lost
847
00:49:49,278 --> 00:49:51,614
is taken to Battersea
Dogs Home immediately.
848
00:49:51,697 --> 00:49:53,908
Aitkin!
Aitkin, come here.
849
00:49:54,033 --> 00:49:55,493
Well, you have his description.
850
00:49:55,576 --> 00:49:57,870
Please phone me
the moment you find him.
851
00:49:57,953 --> 00:49:58,787
Did you do that?
852
00:49:58,871 --> 00:50:02,625
The advertisement will appear in
tomorrow morning's Times and Telegraph
853
00:50:02,708 --> 00:50:05,461
and in the Evening News, Standard
and Star tomorrow night.
854
00:50:05,544 --> 00:50:07,880
- All right! All right!
- The cost of the...
855
00:50:08,756 --> 00:50:10,549
- Where's Monty?
- Monty?
856
00:50:10,633 --> 00:50:12,259
Yes, where is he?
He's with you, isn't he?
857
00:50:12,343 --> 00:50:13,844
Well, why should he
be with me?
858
00:50:13,928 --> 00:50:16,180
He slipped his collar and
ran after you to the garage.
859
00:50:16,263 --> 00:50:17,515
Well, let's call him, then.
860
00:50:17,598 --> 00:50:19,266
Not this garage.
861
00:50:19,725 --> 00:50:21,060
At your rooms.
862
00:50:21,143 --> 00:50:22,436
Oh, that garage?
863
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:23,938
Well, where is he?
864
00:50:24,021 --> 00:50:26,690
My dear Storm, I quite understand
you being overwrought
865
00:50:26,774 --> 00:50:29,568
if you've lost your dog,
but why take it out on me?
866
00:50:29,652 --> 00:50:31,278
He wouldn't run away from me
for nothing.
867
00:50:31,362 --> 00:50:33,531
He saw you and ran after you.
You must have seen him.
868
00:50:33,614 --> 00:50:35,783
May we have dinner?
I'm hungry.
869
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:42,039
Aitkin! Aitkin!
870
00:50:43,249 --> 00:50:45,125
- Dinner!
- Yes, madam.
871
00:50:56,011 --> 00:50:57,638
(WATER RUNNING)
872
00:50:58,138 --> 00:51:01,016
CLIVE: If he's really lost,
you'd better try Battersea.
873
00:51:01,100 --> 00:51:02,059
Thanks.
874
00:51:02,142 --> 00:51:05,229
Or you might think of putting an
advertisement in one of the papers.
875
00:51:05,312 --> 00:51:07,815
I do wish you wouldn't
put your coat on my bed.
876
00:51:08,023 --> 00:51:09,900
He's a dear little chap.
877
00:51:09,984 --> 00:51:12,778
Don't worry,
he'll probably turn up.
878
00:51:23,747 --> 00:51:25,499
(KNOCKING AT DOOR)
879
00:51:26,542 --> 00:51:28,377

880
00:51:41,223 --> 00:51:43,058
(KNOCKING)
881
00:52:15,090 --> 00:52:17,134
- Oh, Dr Riordan?
- Yes.
882
00:52:17,217 --> 00:52:18,427
My name's Finsbury.
883
00:52:18,510 --> 00:52:20,971
I'm sorry, but I don't
see patients after hours.
884
00:52:21,055 --> 00:52:22,139
(CHUCKLING)
No, I suppose not.
885
00:52:22,222 --> 00:52:24,808
Perhaps if you'd care to telephone
in the morning for an appointment?
886
00:52:24,892 --> 00:52:26,602
I'm afraid we're at cross purposes.
887
00:52:26,685 --> 00:52:28,604
I'm sorry if I misled you.
888
00:52:28,854 --> 00:52:30,022
So you're not a patient?
889
00:52:30,105 --> 00:52:32,232
(CHUCKLING)
No, I'm afraid I'm not.
890
00:52:34,860 --> 00:52:37,404
What a pleasant room.
May I sit down?
891
00:52:37,529 --> 00:52:39,198
Yes, of course.
892
00:52:40,991 --> 00:52:43,827
I expect you'd like to know
what I'm doing here.
893
00:52:45,079 --> 00:52:46,455
Quite.
894
00:52:46,538 --> 00:52:48,957
Well, it's about a dog
I believe you lost.
895
00:52:49,458 --> 00:52:52,252
A dog answering
to the name of, um...
896
00:52:52,378 --> 00:52:54,672
It's here in your advertisement.
897
00:52:58,008 --> 00:52:59,968
Yes, here it is.
898
00:53:00,052 --> 00:53:02,054
"Monty."
That's the name.
899
00:53:02,429 --> 00:53:04,473
"White, no markings."
900
00:53:05,599 --> 00:53:08,602
Oh, I say, I do apologise
for breaking in on you like this.
901
00:53:08,686 --> 00:53:10,062
Have you found the dog?
902
00:53:10,145 --> 00:53:12,106
No, I haven't, actually.
903
00:53:12,314 --> 00:53:13,774
Well, then, I don't understand.
904
00:53:13,857 --> 00:53:16,443
I was wondering if you could
elaborate on this description.
905
00:53:16,527 --> 00:53:17,986
No, I'm afraid I can't.
906
00:53:18,070 --> 00:53:20,906
Or perhaps give some more details
as to how the dog was lost.
907
00:53:20,989 --> 00:53:23,909
Do I understand that you're
proposing to search for the dog?
908
00:53:23,992 --> 00:53:25,744
In a sort of way.
909
00:53:25,911 --> 00:53:27,496
It's part of my job, you see.
910
00:53:27,663 --> 00:53:29,581
- Your job?
- Yes.
911
00:53:29,665 --> 00:53:31,125
I'm from Scotland Yard.
912
00:53:32,543 --> 00:53:34,920
(CHUCKLING) We get
the silliest jobs sometimes.
913
00:53:35,003 --> 00:53:37,423
Scotland Yard,
looking for a lost dog?
914
00:53:37,673 --> 00:53:41,009
I wondered myself,
but I suppose strings were pulled.
915
00:53:41,093 --> 00:53:43,262
You know how these things
are handled sometimes.
916
00:53:43,387 --> 00:53:47,266
And I was given my instructions
and the statement made by Mrs Riordan.
917
00:53:47,349 --> 00:53:49,560
My wife went to Scotland Yard?
918
00:53:49,643 --> 00:53:51,729
Why, yes.
Surely she told you?
919
00:53:51,812 --> 00:53:52,896
No.
920
00:53:52,980 --> 00:53:54,606
Have you my wife's statement
with you?
921
00:53:54,690 --> 00:53:55,816
I have, as a matter of fact.
922
00:53:55,899 --> 00:53:57,818
- May I see it?
- Certainly.
923
00:54:08,912 --> 00:54:10,914
No, I'm afraid I can't
add anything further.
924
00:54:11,248 --> 00:54:13,125
Oh, that is disappointing.
925
00:54:15,210 --> 00:54:17,588
- You were our last hope.
- Yes, it's a pity, isn't it?
926
00:54:17,671 --> 00:54:19,339
- He was a dear little chap.
- Mm-hmm.
927
00:54:19,423 --> 00:54:21,508
Well, it's awfully nice of you
to have taken so much trouble.
928
00:54:21,592 --> 00:54:22,760
Not at all.
929
00:54:22,843 --> 00:54:25,471
And, er... perhaps you'll thank
your superior at the Yard.
930
00:54:25,554 --> 00:54:28,182
Of course.
I'll certainly thank my superior.
931
00:54:28,265 --> 00:54:30,559
Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean
to be patronising,
932
00:54:30,642 --> 00:54:33,645
but I take it that you're
a comparatively new recruit?
933
00:54:33,729 --> 00:54:36,607
Oh, dear. And I try so hard
to look wise and worldly.
934
00:54:36,690 --> 00:54:39,276
By the way, what is your rank?
Is that the word?
935
00:54:39,359 --> 00:54:41,278
Yes, that's the word.
936
00:54:41,361 --> 00:54:43,071
I'm a superintendent.
937
00:54:47,534 --> 00:54:49,787
You're the Superintendent Finsbury?
938
00:54:49,870 --> 00:54:51,914
- Yes.
- Really?
939
00:54:51,997 --> 00:54:54,249
I've always wanted
to meet a crime specialist.
940
00:54:54,333 --> 00:54:55,584
Interested in murder, Doctor?
941
00:54:55,667 --> 00:54:57,711
Well, in an amateurish
sort of way, yes.
942
00:54:57,795 --> 00:54:59,296
(CHUCKLING)
Don't be modest.
943
00:54:59,379 --> 00:55:01,590
All murderers
are amateurs, you know.
944
00:55:01,673 --> 00:55:03,842
Nobody makes a profession
out of murder.
945
00:55:03,926 --> 00:55:06,220
In fact, the only professionals
in the game are...
946
00:55:06,303 --> 00:55:08,597
those who try
and catch the murderers.
947
00:55:10,933 --> 00:55:12,184
(DOOR OPENING)
948
00:55:13,519 --> 00:55:15,354
Perhaps you hadn't thought of that.
949
00:55:15,437 --> 00:55:16,438
No, I hadn't.
950
00:55:16,647 --> 00:55:17,648
Goodbye.

(CAR DRIVING AWAY)
954
00:56:20,168 --> 00:56:23,005
I say, I'm most frightfully sorry
to worry you again like this.
955
00:56:23,088 --> 00:56:26,258
I see you're interested in my trains
as well as my dog.
956

(CHUCKLING)
Yes.
957
00:56:28,010 --> 00:56:30,470
There was one small point
I completely forgot,
958
00:56:30,554 --> 00:56:31,763
and I really didn't fancy
959
00:56:31,847 --> 00:56:33,682
worrying you again
in your consulting room.
960
00:56:33,765 --> 00:56:34,850
Well?
961
00:56:34,975 --> 00:56:37,644
It's really frightfully unimportant,
but, as I'm here...
962
00:56:37,728 --> 00:56:38,854
Carry on.
963
00:56:39,229 --> 00:56:41,607
Well, you remember a young fellow...
964
00:56:41,732 --> 00:56:45,611
What was his name?
Disappeared some months ago.
965
00:56:45,694 --> 00:56:48,030
Friend of yours.
What was his name?
966
00:56:48,113 --> 00:56:49,865
Kronin. Bill Kronin.
967
00:56:50,324 --> 00:56:51,950
That's right, Kronin.
968
00:56:52,034 --> 00:56:54,620
We made several enquiries
about him, didn't we?
969
00:56:54,703 --> 00:56:57,080
And, as far as I remember,
you couldn't help us much.
970
00:56:57,372 --> 00:56:58,749
No.
Poor old Bill!
971
00:56:59,917 --> 00:57:01,335
"Poor Bill"?
972
00:57:01,418 --> 00:57:04,630
Well, I suppose something pretty awful
must have happened to him, don't you?
973
00:57:04,922 --> 00:57:06,465
Oh, I don't know.
974
00:57:06,548 --> 00:57:09,384
Might have got himself
into some sort of a jam, and...
975
00:57:09,468 --> 00:57:11,595
thought the best thing to do
was to disappear.
976
00:57:11,678 --> 00:57:13,180
Bill in a jam?
977
00:57:13,263 --> 00:57:14,264
Yes.
978
00:57:14,348 --> 00:57:16,141
With a girl, for instance.
979
00:57:16,224 --> 00:57:17,351
Married woman, perhaps.
980
00:57:17,434 --> 00:57:18,810
Oh, no, not him.
981
00:57:18,894 --> 00:57:20,395
You think that's so impossible?
982
00:57:20,479 --> 00:57:22,981
Well, not impossible,
but extremely unlikely.
983
00:57:23,065 --> 00:57:24,399
Really?
984
00:57:24,483 --> 00:57:27,736
Well, not everybody shares
your high opinion of Mr Kronin.
985
00:57:27,819 --> 00:57:29,154
How do you mean?
986
00:57:29,363 --> 00:57:32,449
I was thinking about an anonymous letter
we had at the Yard,
987
00:57:32,532 --> 00:57:34,785
soon after Kronin disappeared.
988
00:57:34,868 --> 00:57:38,497
I wouldn't have brought it up, actually,
but, as I'm here about the dog...
989
00:57:38,664 --> 00:57:41,875
I hope you won't think I'm
meddling in your private affairs.
990
00:57:41,959 --> 00:57:46,171
- What on Earth are you talking about?
- Well, someone or other wrote to us,
991
00:57:46,254 --> 00:57:49,633
and said that Kronin had been having
an intrigue with a married woman.
992
00:57:49,716 --> 00:57:52,094
- Even mentioned the lady's name.
- Oh?
993
00:57:52,344 --> 00:57:54,012
You'll be awfully annoyed.
994
00:57:54,096 --> 00:57:56,640
The lady in the case
was your wife.
995
00:57:57,349 --> 00:58:00,435
- My wife?
- Yes, I know. I'm sorry.
996
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:03,647
Well, this chap,
you know, the letter-writer,
997
00:58:03,730 --> 00:58:05,941
went on and hinted that,
because of this,
998
00:58:06,024 --> 00:58:08,318
you had something to do
with Kronin's disappearance.
999
00:58:08,402 --> 00:58:11,238
- (STRIKING MATCH)
- My wife and Bill?
1000
00:58:11,321 --> 00:58:14,282
Fantastic.
May I see the letter?
1001
00:58:14,741 --> 00:58:17,160
(CHUCKLING) Oh, I don't carry
that sort of nonsense about with me.
1002
00:58:17,369 --> 00:58:19,246
Well, why didn't you
come to me at once?
1003
00:58:19,329 --> 00:58:21,790
Oh, no.
We're reasonably circumspect.
1004
00:58:21,873 --> 00:58:25,919
We don't necessarily believe all the tales
we're told in anonymous letters.
1005
00:58:26,003 --> 00:58:27,129
We checked up,
1006
00:58:27,212 --> 00:58:30,549
and, as we could find
no confirmation of any such...
1007
00:58:30,632 --> 00:58:35,220
shall I say "surreptitious friendship"
between Mrs Riordan and Kronin,
1008
00:58:35,303 --> 00:58:37,472
we decided not to
upset you needlessly.
1009
00:58:38,056 --> 00:58:39,725
That was very nice of you.
1010
00:58:39,808 --> 00:58:41,309
Do I take it, then,
1011
00:58:41,393 --> 00:58:43,270
that, as far as you were aware,
1012
00:58:43,353 --> 00:58:45,731
there was no intrigue
between your wife and Kronin?
1013
00:58:45,814 --> 00:58:47,274
But of course not.
1014
00:58:47,524 --> 00:58:49,026
You had no reason to...
1015
00:58:49,109 --> 00:58:51,111
threaten Kronin
or desire his death?
1016
00:58:51,194 --> 00:58:53,363
- Certainly not.

Oh, I see what you mean.

No, this is not "it".
1032

- On the contrary.
- Oh?

You have, in fact,
been granted a reprieve.
1036
01:00:34,965 --> 01:00:37,092
- I have?
- Temporarily.
1037
01:00:37,759 --> 01:00:39,845
- For how long?
- Well, that depends.
1038
01:00:40,137 --> 01:00:41,138
On what?
1039
01:00:41,221 --> 01:00:43,014
On my assumption being correct
that, er...
1040
01:00:43,098 --> 01:00:45,517
Scotland Yard is bluffing
and knows precisely nothing.
1041
01:00:45,851 --> 01:00:47,227
Scotland Yard?
1042
01:00:47,310 --> 01:00:48,353
Are they in on this?
1043
01:00:48,436 --> 01:00:49,688
They are.
1044
01:00:50,188 --> 01:00:51,731
Well, whaddaya know?
1045
01:00:51,898 --> 01:00:52,941
Boy!
1046
01:00:53,024 --> 01:00:55,861
Monty, Scotland Yard!
Did you hear what he said?
1047
01:00:56,319 --> 01:00:58,196
As a matter of fact,
their representatives
1048
01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:00,949
were not fifty yards from this place
just ten minutes ago.
1049
01:01:01,241 --> 01:01:02,325
They were?
1050
01:01:02,409 --> 01:01:04,244
And when you came on
down here anyhow,
1051
01:01:04,327 --> 01:01:06,955
- they'll follow you, won't they?
- Well, why should they?
1052
01:01:07,038 --> 01:01:09,416
Don't you realise that
I'm acting on the assumption
1053
01:01:09,499 --> 01:01:11,042
that they know nothing?
1054
01:01:11,126 --> 01:01:13,461
They'd hardly imagine
that I'd pay daily visits
1055
01:01:13,545 --> 01:01:16,506
to a man that disappeared
five months ago, would they?
1056
01:01:17,966 --> 01:01:19,509
No, I guess not.
1057
01:01:19,593 --> 01:01:21,261
You sure got nerve, Clive.
1058
01:01:21,344 --> 01:01:24,097
The important thing at the moment
is not to deviate one iota
1059
01:01:24,181 --> 01:01:26,474
from my plan,
not to panic,
1060
01:01:26,558 --> 01:01:28,768
or to make the mistake
so often made by murderers.
1061
01:01:29,019 --> 01:01:29,978
What's that?
1062
01:01:30,103 --> 01:01:33,106
Of assuming that the police
know more than they do.
1063
01:01:33,190 --> 01:01:35,525
Crippen was a classic case in point.
1064
01:01:35,609 --> 01:01:37,694
It was only because
he fled from the country,
1065
01:01:37,777 --> 01:01:40,030
that he attracted attention to himself.
1066
01:01:43,116 --> 01:01:45,744
I'll bid you good night,
in complete confidence
1067
01:01:45,827 --> 01:01:49,831
that I shall hear no more from
the gentleman from Scotland Yard.
1068
01:01:50,373 --> 01:01:51,625
(DOOR CLOSING)
1069
01:01:51,917 --> 01:01:54,711
You hear that, Monty?
We got some more time.
1070
01:01:54,794 --> 01:01:56,671
Come on, old boy.
Now, school's in.
1071
01:01:56,755 --> 01:01:58,882
Let's see what
you can remember now.
1072
01:01:58,965 --> 01:02:01,092
Just sit down, sit down.
Here.
1073
01:02:01,801 --> 01:02:04,512
Hold.
Hold, Monty. Hold.
1074
01:02:05,013 --> 01:02:08,141
Good boy! That's a good boy.
You're learning fast.
1075
01:02:08,225 --> 01:02:10,936
Now, once more. Once more.
Sit down, sit down.
1076
01:02:11,019 --> 01:02:13,230
Hold it!
Hold, Monty.
1077
01:02:27,953 --> 01:02:29,579
Oh, hello, Doctor.
1078
01:02:29,871 --> 01:02:31,623
I really can't apologise enough.
1079
01:02:31,706 --> 01:02:33,959
My mind, you know.
Definitely going.
1080
01:02:34,084 --> 01:02:35,794
There was another
little point I forgot.
1081
01:02:35,877 --> 01:02:37,837
- Yes?
- Could I see your gun?
1082
01:02:38,380 --> 01:02:40,048
How did you know
that I had a gun?
1083
01:02:40,131 --> 01:02:43,426
Oh, some young fellow at the Yard
was checking over licences the other day.
1084
01:02:43,510 --> 01:02:46,054
Nothing better to do, you know.
May I see it?
1085
01:02:46,137 --> 01:02:47,222
Of course.
1086
01:02:51,393 --> 01:02:54,271
FINSBURY: Ah, thank you.
You keep this fully loaded?
1087
01:02:54,354 --> 01:02:55,272
Naturally.
1088
01:02:55,355 --> 01:02:57,524
- Have you fired it lately?
- No.
1089
01:02:57,607 --> 01:02:58,650
When did you last fire it?
1090
01:02:58,733 --> 01:03:00,026
Oh, I don't know.
Weeks ago.
1091
01:03:00,110 --> 01:03:01,361
Well, try and remember.
1092
01:03:01,444 --> 01:03:03,905
I've been very patient with you
so far, Finsbury.
1093
01:03:03,989 --> 01:03:07,284
But I warn you, I'm getting sick and tired
of your investigations.
1094
01:03:07,367 --> 01:03:08,660
It's a nice state of affairs
if a man
1095
01:03:08,743 --> 01:03:11,871
can't accidentally fire his own gun,
in his own drawing room,
1096
01:03:11,955 --> 01:03:14,582
without Scotland Yard pestering him
as if he was a criminal.
1097
01:03:14,666 --> 01:03:15,709
It's outrageous.
1098
01:03:15,792 --> 01:03:17,669
- Where's the bullet?
- What bullet?
1099
01:03:17,752 --> 01:03:19,546
The one you accidentally fired
when you were, er...
1100
01:03:19,671 --> 01:03:21,423
If you've got
so much time to waste,
1101
01:03:21,506 --> 01:03:24,676
why don't you go and get a warrant
and search for the bullet?
1102
01:03:24,759 --> 01:03:26,970
I don't think that
will be necessary.
1103
01:03:36,896 --> 01:03:38,732
Yes, there we are.
1104
01:03:38,815 --> 01:03:40,400
Now for the bullet.
1105
01:03:47,615 --> 01:03:48,950
How's that?
1106
01:03:49,034 --> 01:03:51,494
Well, I think this
clears matters up, Doctor.
1107
01:03:51,578 --> 01:03:53,288
I'm terribly sorry
if I've upset you
1108
01:03:53,371 --> 01:03:56,416
by appearing to hound you
from pillar to post all day,
1109
01:03:56,499 --> 01:03:59,627
but I have to check up
on these silly little points,
1110
01:03:59,711 --> 01:04:01,713
or I get a rap over the knuckles.
1111
01:04:01,796 --> 01:04:04,007
Pure routine, you know.
Red tape.
1112
01:04:04,090 --> 01:04:05,342
Red tape!
1113
01:04:05,425 --> 01:04:07,677
May I, um...
borrow this for a few days?
1114
01:04:07,761 --> 01:04:10,013
- Yes, yes, yes, yes.
- Thank you.
1115
01:04:10,138 --> 01:04:12,807
- Let me show you out.
- Oh, thank you.
1116
01:04:12,891 --> 01:04:14,559
Exceptional weather
we've been having lately.
1117
01:04:14,642 --> 01:04:16,269
Exceptional.
1118
01:04:16,353 --> 01:04:17,729
Well, thanks again, Doctor.
1119
01:04:17,812 --> 01:04:19,898
I'm so glad we've been able
to have our little chats
1120
01:04:19,981 --> 01:04:21,649
without dragging your wife
into them.
1121
01:04:21,733 --> 01:04:24,235
- Quite, quite. Well, good night.
- Good night.
1122
01:05:30,677 --> 01:05:32,720
Monty, no, no, boy.
Not now. Not now.
1123
01:05:34,556 --> 01:05:36,182
- Clive?
- Mm-hmm.
1124
01:05:36,724 --> 01:05:37,976
Tonight?
1125
01:05:39,227 --> 01:05:40,854
You know,
you don't seem to realise...
1126
01:05:40,937 --> 01:05:43,189
(SHOUTING) All right, all right, man!
I don't wanna speak, I just wanna know!
1127
01:05:43,273 --> 01:05:45,650
Is it tonight? Yes or no?
1128
01:05:46,192 --> 01:05:47,444
No.
1129
01:05:47,527 --> 01:05:48,987
Not quite.
1130
01:05:52,115 --> 01:05:54,826
You know, I don't expect you
to believe me, but...
1131
01:05:54,909 --> 01:05:56,995
these few last months have
been getting me down
1132
01:05:57,078 --> 01:05:58,997
almost as much as they have you.
1133
01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:01,458
I, too, will be glad
when it's all over.
1134
01:06:01,541 --> 01:06:03,126
Thanks, pal.
1135
01:06:05,462 --> 01:06:08,381
Well, at least I taught you
to make a decent martini.
1136
01:06:09,674 --> 01:06:11,759
Any more visits from
the Scotland Yard guy?
1137
01:06:11,843 --> 01:06:13,094
No.
1138
01:06:13,178 --> 01:06:15,346
He must have been onto something.
He must have.
1139
01:06:15,430 --> 01:06:17,557
I thought so, too, at first.
1140
01:06:20,018 --> 01:06:22,145
At first? Not now?
1141
01:06:22,353 --> 01:06:23,813
No, not now.
1142
01:06:24,063 --> 01:06:24,939
Why not?
1143
01:06:25,023 --> 01:06:27,567
Because now I know
exactly where I stand.
1144
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:30,361
Well?
1145
01:06:31,946 --> 01:06:33,323
Well, go on.
1146
01:06:35,658 --> 01:06:39,704
(SHOUTING) Well, you always want to
make speeches. Go on, speak!
1147
01:06:43,208 --> 01:06:45,752
You see,
it's just a question of logic.
1148
01:06:46,753 --> 01:06:49,380
Reason told me
that "the Scotland Yard guy"
1149
01:06:49,464 --> 01:06:52,383
made a leading mistake
when he came to my house.
1150
01:06:52,467 --> 01:06:56,054
There were only three people
who knew the location of the spent bullet.
1151
01:06:56,179 --> 01:06:58,348
You, myself, and Storm.
1152
01:06:58,431 --> 01:07:01,851
Yet Mr Finsbury went straight
to the filled-in hole.
1153
01:07:01,976 --> 01:07:03,645
Now, who could have told him?
1154
01:07:03,728 --> 01:07:05,355
I didn't and you didn't.
1155
01:07:05,438 --> 01:07:07,273
- Well, is that all?
- No.
1156
01:07:07,357 --> 01:07:10,985
Consider the anonymous letter
which he "almost forgot to mention".
1157
01:07:11,069 --> 01:07:13,029
Now, you and Storm
had been much too smart
1158
01:07:13,112 --> 01:07:15,949
to let anyone else know
about your secret intrigue.
1159
01:07:16,282 --> 01:07:18,326
Yet Finsbury knew all the facts.
1160
01:07:18,409 --> 01:07:20,203
Who could have told him?
1161
01:07:20,662 --> 01:07:22,622
- Storm, huh?
- Exactly.
1162
01:07:22,705 --> 01:07:25,959
My underestimation
of her feelings towards me
1163
01:07:26,042 --> 01:07:28,002
might have been
a serious mistake.
1164
01:07:28,294 --> 01:07:30,255
But instead, thanks to her,
1165
01:07:30,588 --> 01:07:32,757
I've stood the test
of a Scotland Yard enquiry.
1166
01:07:33,299 --> 01:07:36,219
They checked up on her story
and found precisely nothing.
1167
01:07:36,344 --> 01:07:38,513
It'd be just
her word against mine.
1168
01:07:38,888 --> 01:07:41,349
And, you know,
you ought to be very grateful.
1169
01:07:41,474 --> 01:07:44,143
You got a few weeks' reprieve,
1170
01:07:44,227 --> 01:07:45,353
which, er...
1171
01:07:45,436 --> 01:07:47,689
I regret to say
will soon come to an end.
1172
01:07:49,315 --> 01:07:50,483
Clive...
1173
01:07:50,567 --> 01:07:52,318
Clive, you've forgotten one thing.
1174
01:07:52,402 --> 01:07:53,653
Mmm, what's that?
1175
01:07:53,736 --> 01:07:55,071
You haven't got it back yet.
1176
01:07:55,154 --> 01:07:56,489
- What?
- The gun.
1177
01:07:56,573 --> 01:07:59,367
They haven't given it back to you.
It's still at Scotland Yard.
1178
01:07:59,450 --> 01:08:01,619
But there's no
further interest in the gun now.
1179
01:08:01,703 --> 01:08:03,788
That's what you think now,
but you're wrong.
1180
01:08:03,871 --> 01:08:05,415
They're not hanging on to it
for nothing, you know.
1181
01:08:05,498 --> 01:08:06,791
They must have a reason.
1182
01:08:06,874 --> 01:08:08,251
Don't kid yourself.
This case isn't closed.
1183
01:08:08,334 --> 01:08:10,211
They haven't given it back yet.
1184
01:08:10,295 --> 01:08:11,629
Good night, Bill.
1185
01:08:11,838 --> 01:08:13,464
The gun! The gun, Clive!
1186
01:08:13,548 --> 01:08:15,091
Why didn't they
give you back the gun?
1187
01:08:15,174 --> 01:08:16,676
(DOOR CLOSING)
1188
01:08:22,056 --> 01:08:23,808
Come on, Monty, boy.
1189
01:08:24,475 --> 01:08:26,644
We haven't very much more time.
1190
01:08:27,103 --> 01:08:30,565
You've done it once before, buddy.
You better do it again.
1191
01:08:31,190 --> 01:08:33,109
Come on now, boy.
Good dog. Good dog!
1192
01:08:33,192 --> 01:08:35,028
Now, hold!
1193
01:08:35,820 --> 01:08:36,821
Hold!
1194
01:08:36,988 --> 01:08:39,407
Look, come on, don't just
sit there and look at it. Hold!
1195
01:08:39,782 --> 01:08:42,410
Attaboy! Attaboy!
Good... Good boy!
1196

Tug! Tug! Attaboy!
1197
01:08:46,164 --> 01:08:47,749
Oh, look out!
1198
01:08:48,207 --> 01:08:50,084
Oh, no, no! Boy!
1199
01:08:50,168 --> 01:08:52,170
No, no!
Bad dog, Monty!
1200
01:08:52,253 --> 01:08:54,714
Bad dog!
Never fall in! No!
1201
01:08:55,006 --> 01:08:57,675
Hold, but never fall in!
Never!

- CLIVE: Yes?
- Excuse me, sir.
1204
01:09:02,930 --> 01:09:05,391
- There's a gentleman to see you.
- Who is it?
1205
01:09:05,475 --> 01:09:07,310
A Mr Finsbury, sir.
1206
01:09:09,312 --> 01:09:11,814
- Ask him to come down.
- Very good, sir.
1207
01:09:24,452 --> 01:09:27,163
- Oh, hello, Doctor.
- This is a pleasure.
1208
01:09:28,122 --> 01:09:30,458
So this is how you spend
your Saturday afternoons.
1209
01:09:30,541 --> 01:09:32,210
It's pretty strenuous.
1210
01:09:32,502 --> 01:09:35,171
- Terrific collection you have here.
- Not bad.
1211
01:09:35,797 --> 01:09:38,883
My word, you have gone to town!
1212
01:09:39,133 --> 01:09:40,760
Oh, while I think of it...
1213
01:09:41,010 --> 01:09:43,221
My memory, you know.
Your gun.
1214
01:09:43,304 --> 01:09:45,181
Sorry we kept it so long.
1215
01:09:45,264 --> 01:09:46,557
Oh, thanks.
1216
01:09:46,849 --> 01:09:50,103
Then you're not going to hang me
or anything dreadful like that?
1217
01:09:50,186 --> 01:09:51,521
Oh, good heavens, no.
1218
01:09:51,604 --> 01:09:53,690
It's been floating
round my office for weeks,
1219
01:09:53,773 --> 01:09:55,942
but I've been up to my eyes
in the Lawrence murder.
1220
01:09:56,025 --> 01:09:58,486
- Any luck?
- Yes, as a matter of fact.
1221
01:09:58,611 --> 01:10:01,030
I made an arrest this morning.
1222
01:10:01,698 --> 01:10:03,533
Oh, may I?
1223
01:10:04,033 --> 01:10:06,494
Mmm, Royal Scot 4-6-0.
1224
01:10:06,661 --> 01:10:08,162
Nice jobs, weren't they?
1225
01:10:08,538 --> 01:10:10,289
I say, this isn't right.
1226
01:10:10,373 --> 01:10:11,374
CLIVE:
What isn't?
1227
01:10:11,457 --> 01:10:13,960
Tender.
Those flares shouldn't be there.
1228
01:10:14,043 --> 01:10:16,129
- Sides should be straight.
- No, they shouldn't.
1229
01:10:16,212 --> 01:10:18,715
- I think you'll find...
- I assure you, you're wrong.
1230
01:10:18,798 --> 01:10:21,676
You see, 1927,
when the Royal Scot came out,
1231
01:10:21,759 --> 01:10:24,303
they did have those
straight-sided tenders.
1232
01:10:24,429 --> 01:10:26,639
- Mmm.
- But, in 1937...
1233
01:10:26,723 --> 01:10:28,891
they introduced
those curved ones.
1234
01:10:29,225 --> 01:10:30,560
Mm-hmm.
1235
01:10:30,643 --> 01:10:33,312
Sorry, my mistake.
Not bad for a psychiatrist.
1236
01:10:33,396 --> 01:10:34,856
Thanks, pal.

care for a drink?

FINSBURY:
Well, I'm off duty.
1239
01:10:38,568 --> 01:10:39,861
Yes, I'd love one.
1240
01:10:39,944 --> 01:10:43,531
CLIVE: You know, I've never gone in
for any strenuous form of exercise.
1241
01:10:43,614 --> 01:10:47,201
I've always got my relaxation
in a complete mental change, like this.
1242
01:10:47,285 --> 01:10:48,327
FINSBURY:
Good idea.
1243
01:10:48,411 --> 01:10:50,580
CLIVE: All the same, I've been
feeling a bit run down lately,
1244
01:10:50,663 --> 01:10:55,251
so I plan to take a holiday
in a few days, when I've got, er...
1245
01:10:55,334 --> 01:10:57,128
one or two things
cleared up.
1246
01:10:57,211 --> 01:10:58,254
Half your luck!
1247
01:10:58,337 --> 01:11:00,089
- Well, cheers, Doctor.
- Cheers.
1248
01:11:00,173 --> 01:11:01,466
Where were you
thinking of going?
1249
01:11:01,549 --> 01:11:04,761
Oh, I don't know. Cannes,
or somewhere where it's sunny.
1250
01:11:05,261 --> 01:11:06,387
I, er...
1251
01:11:06,471 --> 01:11:09,056
I suppose it's all right for me
to leave the country.
1252
01:11:09,182 --> 01:11:10,016
Hmm?
1253
01:11:10,099 --> 01:11:11,768
I mean, you won't think
I'm running away,
1254
01:11:11,851 --> 01:11:14,312
a guilty conscience or anything,
like Crippen.
1255
01:11:14,395 --> 01:11:16,189
(CHUCKLING)
Oh, I see what you mean.
1256
01:11:16,272 --> 01:11:18,566
No, you can go to
the North Pole if you feel like it.
1257
01:11:18,649 --> 01:11:20,234
Thanks, pal.
1258
01:11:21,235 --> 01:11:23,112
Well, if you'll excuse me, Doctor.
1259
01:11:23,196 --> 01:11:25,990
I mustn't keep my chaps
waiting any longer.
1260
01:11:27,617 --> 01:11:30,495
Oh, don't bother.
I can find my own way out.
1261
01:11:30,578 --> 01:11:33,456
Well, er...
Goodbye, Superintendent.
1262
01:11:33,539 --> 01:11:35,750
Cheerio, Doctor,
and have a good holiday.
1263
01:11:35,833 --> 01:11:37,210

Oh, for cryin' out loud.

01:12:35,476 --> 01:12:38,229
Listen, pal.
Only five bucks.
1270
01:12:38,312 --> 01:12:41,065
There's a lifetime of work
gone into a book like this.
1271
01:12:41,524 --> 01:12:43,943
It set me back
twenty bucks a year ago.
1272
01:12:44,610 --> 01:12:47,697
But it's yours for five bucks,
on account of I'm goin' home, see.

in the European theatre.
1275

Hey, let me give you
an idea of the material.
1276
01:12:57,164 --> 01:13:00,334
Betty! Yeah, Betty...
1277
01:13:00,459 --> 01:13:02,169
Oh, when I think of Betty.
1278
01:13:02,253 --> 01:13:04,171
Her eyes, blue.
1279
01:13:04,255 --> 01:13:06,132
They bore right through ya.
1280
01:13:06,257 --> 01:13:08,217
And when you're dancing...
1281
01:13:10,511 --> 01:13:12,638
Why, Betty alone's
worth the five bucks.
1282
01:13:12,722 --> 01:13:14,765
Thanks, pal!
1283

SAILOR #1:
Rita, brunette.
1284
01:13:16,851 --> 01:13:19,270
That's Rita, brunette.
That's her best feature
1285
01:13:19,478 --> 01:13:22,148
- Her gorgeous hair.
- Thanks, pal.
1286
01:13:22,899 --> 01:13:25,943

that's gone into a book like this.

(TRAINS STOPPING)
1293
01:13:58,601 --> 01:13:59,769
"Thanks, pal."
1294
01:13:59,852 --> 01:14:01,395
Yes, "Thanks, pal."
1295
01:14:01,854 --> 01:14:03,314
"Thanks, pal"?
1296
01:14:04,065 --> 01:14:06,359
Well, no, it doesn't
sound like Clive at all.
1297
01:14:06,609 --> 01:14:09,236
It doesn't, does it?
Just sort of struck me.
1298
01:14:09,362 --> 01:14:11,739
You know how these things do
from time to time.
1299
01:14:11,864 --> 01:14:15,242
Your husband's English vocabulary
seems quite adequate, you know.
1300
01:14:15,326 --> 01:14:16,994
I mean, it did seem so odd
1301
01:14:17,078 --> 01:14:19,789
to hear him borrow
from our cousins across the sea.
1302
01:14:19,872 --> 01:14:21,207
Does he know many Americans?
1303
01:14:21,791 --> 01:14:23,459
No, I don't think so.
1304
01:14:24,502 --> 01:14:26,128
Except...
1305
01:14:26,212 --> 01:14:29,882
Well, the only person I can think of
who used to say "Thanks, pal" a lot
1306
01:14:29,966 --> 01:14:31,384
was Bill, Mr Kronin.
1307
01:14:38,265 --> 01:14:40,726
Well, I can't explain it all
on the phone.
1308
01:14:40,810 --> 01:14:42,895
In fact, I really can't
explain it at all.
1309
01:14:42,979 --> 01:14:45,481
It's only a hunch, and I may be
chasing my shadow,
1310
01:14:45,564 --> 01:14:49,110
but it does strike me that a man
who is so precise in his speech
1311
01:14:49,235 --> 01:14:51,278
doesn't start using Americanisms
1312
01:14:51,362 --> 01:14:54,073
unless he's seeing rather a lot
of at least one American.
1313
01:14:54,699 --> 01:14:56,867
But he hasn't seen Bill for months,
as you know.
1314
01:14:56,951 --> 01:14:58,452
I'm not so sure.
1315
01:14:58,536 --> 01:15:00,871
I have a hunch
that Bill is still alive.
1316
01:15:01,414 --> 01:15:02,456
Alive?

01:15:03,040 --> 01:15:03,916

as you can. I'll be waiting.

Yes, I'll be there.

get there immediately.

Well, don't just stand there.

on the telephone?

Oh, Jane.

01:16:43,057 --> 01:16:44,934
- Jane?
- Jane Halsey.
1333
01:16:45,017 --> 01:16:47,978
A very masculine voice,
hasn't she?
1334
01:16:49,230 --> 01:16:50,606
I see.
1335
01:16:50,689 --> 01:16:52,191
You listened, of course.
1336
01:16:53,317 --> 01:16:54,735
How much did you hear?
1337
01:16:54,819 --> 01:16:56,987
Just enough to know
you're about to sneak off
1338
01:16:57,071 --> 01:16:59,490
to keep a
secret rendezvous with...
1339
01:16:59,573 --> 01:17:01,200
some man or other.
1340
01:17:02,743 --> 01:17:04,453
You're quite right.
1341
01:17:04,537 --> 01:17:06,038
It wasn't Jane.
1342
01:17:06,413 --> 01:17:08,040
Now, who was it?
1343
01:17:08,124 --> 01:17:09,792
Michael or John?
1344
01:17:10,084 --> 01:17:12,211
Perhaps it was Robert?
1345
01:17:12,294 --> 01:17:14,588
So difficult for you, isn't it?
1346
01:17:14,672 --> 01:17:17,258
It wasn't Bill, though, was it?
1347
01:17:20,594 --> 01:17:22,721
I said, it wasn't Bill,
though, was it?
1348
01:17:23,264 --> 01:17:24,682
It could have been.
1349
01:17:24,765 --> 01:17:27,601
But surely you remember
you said I'd killed him.
1350
01:17:27,977 --> 01:17:30,104
I thought you had.
1351
01:17:30,187 --> 01:17:31,772
But you've killed Monty instead.
1352
01:17:31,981 --> 01:17:33,691
I really don't see the connection.
1353
01:17:35,734 --> 01:17:37,611
You, kill a man?
1354
01:17:37,695 --> 01:17:39,029
You, take a risk?
1355
01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:43,325
Oh, no. You'd sooner take it out
on a poor, defenceless dog.
1356
01:17:43,659 --> 01:17:45,619
You fooled me for a while,
1357
01:17:45,703 --> 01:17:48,205
until you got hold of Monty
that afternoon,
1358
01:17:48,289 --> 01:17:49,999
and I saw right through you.
1359
01:17:50,499 --> 01:17:53,043
You bribed or scared Bill away,
1360
01:17:53,127 --> 01:17:55,129
and then took it out on my dog.
1361
01:17:55,254 --> 01:17:57,965
Very brave. Very brave!
1362
01:17:59,133 --> 01:18:01,927
But Bill's still alive.
I know he is.
1363
01:18:02,386 --> 01:18:04,889
- So that's it.
- That's exactly it.
1364
01:18:05,306 --> 01:18:06,515

01:18:41,592 --> 01:18:42,968
Yes, that's right.
1372
01:18:43,052 --> 01:18:45,471
Tell him to come here
to my house at once.
1373
01:18:45,554 --> 01:18:46,972
Yes, as fast as he can.
1374
01:18:47,056 --> 01:18:48,933
- Thank you.
- (REPLACING RECEIVER)
1375
01:19:37,564 --> 01:19:40,150
(VEHICLE PULLING UP OUTSIDE)
1376
01:19:44,071 --> 01:19:46,907
- Something happened?
- You're right. Bill's alive.
1377
01:19:46,991 --> 01:19:49,702
But my husband's just gone off
in his car. He's going to kill him!
1378
01:19:49,785 --> 01:19:51,704
Oh? Really? Are you sure?
1379
01:19:51,787 --> 01:19:52,955
We had a quarrel about you.
1380
01:19:53,038 --> 01:19:54,707
My husband thought that
you and I were...
1381
01:19:54,790 --> 01:19:56,834
Oh, for heaven's sake,
do something!
1382
01:19:56,917 --> 01:20:00,838
Well, can't exactly follow all that,
but you can explain it later, eh?
1383
01:20:01,088 --> 01:20:03,340
Let's concentrate on
finding Kronin, shall we?
1384
01:20:03,424 --> 01:20:04,883
What are you going to do?
1385
01:20:05,009 --> 01:20:06,593
The quickest way to find Kronin,
1386
01:20:06,677 --> 01:20:08,387
if my hunch is right,
1387
01:20:08,470 --> 01:20:09,972
is to find your husband.
1388
01:20:10,055 --> 01:20:11,473
And the quickest way
to find your husband
1389
01:20:11,557 --> 01:20:13,517
is to find his car.
1390
01:20:14,518 --> 01:20:17,187
Hello?
Superintendent Finsbury here.
1391
01:20:17,271 --> 01:20:21,233
Send out a general call.
Find a grey Austin saloon,
1392
01:20:21,317 --> 01:20:23,027
registration number...
1393
01:20:23,110 --> 01:20:24,903
What is the registration number,
Mrs Riordan?
1394
01:20:24,987 --> 01:20:27,364
- I haven't the faintest idea.
- Can you find it?
1395
01:20:27,448 --> 01:20:28,824
I should think so.
1396
01:20:28,907 --> 01:20:30,701
It ought to be
among his papers in his desk.
1397
01:20:30,784 --> 01:20:32,369
Hang on a minute.
1398
01:20:51,430 --> 01:20:53,515
These look like car papers.
1399
01:20:54,350 --> 01:20:57,519
Yes, that's right.
There's an insurance certificate.
1400
01:20:58,103 --> 01:21:00,314
- "AYT 186."
- That's it.
1401
01:21:00,606 --> 01:21:02,816
- Is that an extension?
- Yes.
1402
01:21:04,985 --> 01:21:06,695
Hello. Still there?
1403
01:21:06,862 --> 01:21:10,240
Send out a general call.
Find grey Austin saloon,
1404
01:21:10,366 --> 01:21:13,202
registration number
AYT 186.
1405
01:21:34,098 --> 01:21:35,474
You're late.
1406
01:21:35,766 --> 01:21:38,018
It's Saturday.
No office hours.
1407
01:21:38,102 --> 01:21:40,729
Is it? Saturday again?
1408
01:21:40,813 --> 01:21:41,939
Hungry?
1409
01:21:42,648 --> 01:21:43,899
Yeah.
1410
01:21:43,982 --> 01:21:45,442
Thirsty, too.
1411
01:21:46,110 --> 01:21:47,861
Here are the martinis.
1412
01:21:50,489 --> 01:21:51,824
Thanks.
1413
01:21:52,616 --> 01:21:53,826
I, er...
1414
01:21:54,827 --> 01:21:57,204
brought you a cold chicken.
1415
01:21:57,287 --> 01:21:58,747
I know it's your favourite.
1416
01:22:00,124 --> 01:22:01,458
Thanks.
1417
01:22:10,300 --> 01:22:12,886
"The condemned man
ate a hearty breakfast," huh?
1418
01:22:14,513 --> 01:22:16,473
Where are the
indigestion tablets?
1419
01:22:16,557 --> 01:22:18,767
Oh, er...
I'm sorry. I forgot them.
1420
01:22:18,851 --> 01:22:20,018
Fine thing.
1421
01:22:20,102 --> 01:22:21,395
Papers?
1422
01:22:21,478 --> 01:22:23,856
They're outside.
I'll get them in a minute.
1423
01:22:23,939 --> 01:22:26,984
(TUTTING) Service is
deteriorating around here.
1424
01:22:28,527 --> 01:22:31,405
Well, martinis seem to be
holding up, anyhow.
1425
01:22:31,488 --> 01:22:33,073
Care for one, Clive?
1426
01:22:33,907 --> 01:22:35,325
No, not tonight.
1427
01:22:35,784 --> 01:22:38,829
I must say, I admire
your husband, Mrs Riordan.
1428
01:22:39,413 --> 01:22:41,915
Amazingly bright idea.
(CHUCKLING)
1429
01:22:41,999 --> 01:22:43,792
Most original.
1430
01:22:43,876 --> 01:22:45,169
And ingenious.
1431
01:22:46,795 --> 01:22:49,131
I think I can see it all now.
1432
01:22:49,256 --> 01:22:50,841
Except...
1433
01:22:50,924 --> 01:22:54,011
I wonder what he proposed to do
with the body when the time came.
1434
01:22:54,094 --> 01:22:55,929
How can you just sit there?
1435
01:22:56,013 --> 01:22:58,557
My dear Mrs Riordan,
what else can I do?
1436
01:22:58,807 --> 01:23:00,934
Are you sure my pipe
isn't worrying you?
1437
01:23:01,018 --> 01:23:03,103
Is this really Scotland Yard in action?
1438
01:23:03,187 --> 01:23:05,105
Once the wheels are in motion,
1439
01:23:05,189 --> 01:23:08,358
some of us serve
who only sit and wait, you know.
1440
01:23:08,442 --> 01:23:10,235
Not much point
in my charging around,
1441
01:23:10,319 --> 01:23:12,446
all over London, by myself.
1442
01:23:13,405 --> 01:23:15,324
Big place, London.
1443
01:23:15,699 --> 01:23:17,534
I must show you London sometime.
1444
01:23:17,910 --> 01:23:20,204
(CHUCKLING)
You'd be astonished.
1445
01:23:21,413 --> 01:23:22,831
BILL:
What's the matter, Clive?
1446
01:23:22,915 --> 01:23:25,834
Not beating your chops
like you usually do.
1447
01:23:32,758 --> 01:23:34,551
What goes on over there?
1448
01:23:35,093 --> 01:23:36,887
More preparations
for the big night?
1449
01:23:37,554 --> 01:23:40,349
Bloodstains, you know,
are an awful giveaway.
1450
01:23:40,682 --> 01:23:42,809
Dismemberment
is a terribly messy business.
1451
01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:47,397
- Are you feeling groggy?
- Yeah, I, er...
1452
01:23:48,065 --> 01:23:49,983
How about another martini?
1453
01:23:51,151 --> 01:23:52,778
I guess I will.
1454
01:23:55,113 --> 01:23:58,283
There have been two authenticated
and three hypothetical cases
1455
01:23:58,367 --> 01:24:02,329
of a murderer taking the perfect
precautions against bloodstains.
1456
01:24:02,663 --> 01:24:05,791
If one takes off all one's clothes
before starting work
1457
01:24:05,874 --> 01:24:08,544
and there's a bathroom handy
for afterwards,
1458
01:24:08,627 --> 01:24:12,798
the menace of bloodstained clothes
is obviously removed.
1459
01:24:13,715 --> 01:24:15,425
How are you feeling?
1460
01:24:15,759 --> 01:24:16,969
Kinda woozy.
1461
01:24:18,178 --> 01:24:20,430
The martinis sorta hit me.
1462
01:24:20,514 --> 01:24:22,224
I taught you too well.
1463
01:24:23,850 --> 01:24:25,936
You know,
what I need is a little...
1464
01:24:26,019 --> 01:24:28,564
exercise and fresh air.
1465
01:24:29,982 --> 01:24:33,443
How about a little walk
around the block, Clive?
1466
01:24:34,528 --> 01:24:35,988
Coming?
1467
01:24:40,867 --> 01:24:44,121
(CHUCKLING) Oh, no.
No, you don't worry me.
1468
01:24:45,247 --> 01:24:47,958
You won't do anything
until you get that gun back.
1469
01:24:52,254 --> 01:24:54,840
This gun was returned to me
within the last hour.
1470
01:24:58,302 --> 01:24:59,636
It was?

"AYT 186."

Keeping the victim alive
for a few months,
1477
01:26:15,003 --> 01:26:17,589
until one sees which way
the wind is blowing,
1478
01:26:17,673 --> 01:26:19,633
before actually finishing him off.
1479
01:26:19,716 --> 01:26:22,636
(CHUCKLING)
That's a jolly good idea, you know.
1480
01:26:22,719 --> 01:26:24,137
Sort of insurance policy.
1481
01:26:24,221 --> 01:26:26,098
How can you sit there
and do nothing?

Yes, I've got it.
I'll be right down.
1487

Send another car along.
1488
01:26:39,027 --> 01:26:41,279
Oh, and you'd better
have them take a surgeon.
1489

There you are.
How's that for service?
1490
01:26:43,448 --> 01:26:46,201
- Where is he?
- His car's in his own garage
1491
01:26:46,284 --> 01:26:48,412
in Culross Mews.
(CHUCKLING)
1492
01:26:48,495 --> 01:26:50,497
- Full of surprises, isn't he?
- Shall I come with you?
1493
01:26:50,580 --> 01:26:52,833
No, you'd better stay here
if you don't mind.

(WHIMPERING)
1495
01:27:01,717 --> 01:27:04,219
So you finally
got the gun back, huh?
1496
01:27:04,678 --> 01:27:08,557
So your great Scotland Yard
finally threw in the sponge, huh?
1497
01:27:09,516 --> 01:27:11,184
You got everything figured out,

right down to the last detail,
haven't you?

Yes, Kronin.

In all humility,
I honestly believe I have.

haven't you?

And that's...
that's how to do it.

You can't do it, can ya?

- I locked it, sir.
- Was it open?
1531
01:30:35,513 --> 01:30:38,850
It was open, sir. I pulled it to.
I thought the owner had forgotten.

- Where's the car?
- Inside, sir.
1533

- In there. He locked the door.

1544
01:31:49,462 --> 01:31:52,632
- Well, what's this one for?
- Power, I suppose.
1545
01:31:54,551 --> 01:31:56,678
Amateurish looking job, isn't it?
1546
01:31:57,012 --> 01:31:59,431
Where do you suppose
those lead to?
1547
01:31:59,514 --> 01:32:01,016
Let's have a look.
1548
01:32:45,018 --> 01:32:47,020
Constable?
Give me a torch.
1549
01:33:14,464 --> 01:33:16,341
FINSBURY:
Come on, chaps. Break in!
1550
01:33:35,777 --> 01:33:37,445
Doctor!
1551
01:33:52,544 --> 01:33:55,213
Excuse me, sir. Will there be
anything more tonight, sir?
1552
01:33:55,296 --> 01:33:57,423
No, I'm waiting for someone.
1553
01:33:58,758 --> 01:34:02,053
Oh, show that gentleman over here,
will you?
1554
01:34:02,470 --> 01:34:04,180
That's all right.
1555
01:34:05,682 --> 01:34:07,475
Good evening, Mr Finsbury.
1556
01:34:07,559 --> 01:34:08,768
You're late.
1557
01:34:08,852 --> 01:34:10,353
I'm sorry.
1558
01:34:10,436 --> 01:34:12,063
I was detained.
1559
01:34:12,480 --> 01:34:14,274
Do sit down, please.
1560
01:34:14,816 --> 01:34:16,276
Thanks.
1561
01:34:18,111 --> 01:34:20,530
You see, I was expecting you.
1562
01:34:20,613 --> 01:34:22,282
I'm on duty, I'm afraid.
1563
01:34:23,741 --> 01:34:25,743
We found your dog.
1564
01:34:26,244 --> 01:34:27,162
Congratulations.
1565
01:34:27,245 --> 01:34:28,246
One moment.
1566
01:34:29,706 --> 01:34:31,040
Don't worry.
1567
01:34:31,833 --> 01:34:33,960
If that were my intention...
1568
01:34:34,043 --> 01:34:35,420
one quick bite.
1569
01:34:36,045 --> 01:34:37,547
Much easier.
1570
01:34:40,383 --> 01:34:42,969
So you win after all, Mr Finsbury.
1571
01:34:43,052 --> 01:34:45,180
I still think it was
a good idea, though.
1572
01:34:45,263 --> 01:34:47,098
They always are...
to amateurs.
1573
01:34:47,473 --> 01:34:48,433
Mmm.
1574
01:34:48,516 --> 01:34:51,561
You know, now that it's all over,
I can see my mistake clearly.
1575
01:34:52,395 --> 01:34:54,606
- You can?
- A fundamental mistake,
1576
01:34:54,689 --> 01:34:56,858
that grew into an obsession.
1577
01:34:57,192 --> 01:35:01,738
I felt the only way out of the situation
between my wife and myself
1578
01:35:01,821 --> 01:35:05,074
was to kill the next man
that made love to her.
1579
01:35:05,408 --> 01:35:06,826
Are you married, Mr Finsbury?
1580
01:35:07,285 --> 01:35:08,286
No.
1581
01:35:09,746 --> 01:35:11,331
I've often thought about it.
1582
01:35:11,456 --> 01:35:13,708
The trouble is, I've
thought about it so long, I'm...
1583
01:35:13,791 --> 01:35:15,210
afraid I've missed the bus.
1584
01:35:15,293 --> 01:35:17,212
Just one of life's little jokes, isn't it?
1585
01:35:17,295 --> 01:35:18,129
Mm-hmm.
1586
01:35:18,213 --> 01:35:22,133
It points out our mistakes too late
for us to profit by them.
1587
01:35:29,557 --> 01:35:30,892
Thanks.
1588
01:35:31,184 --> 01:35:32,435
It might interest you to know
1589
01:35:32,518 --> 01:35:35,563
that you're the only clever
would-be murderer I've come across,
1590
01:35:35,647 --> 01:35:37,815
who's in a position
to profit by his mistakes.
1591
01:35:38,650 --> 01:35:41,611
It'll be interesting to know
how much you've learned.
1592
01:35:41,694 --> 01:35:43,196
Bill Kronin is alive.
1593
01:35:44,239 --> 01:35:45,531
Just barely...
1594
01:35:45,865 --> 01:35:47,116
but alive.
1595
01:35:48,409 --> 01:35:51,037
- Oh.
- Shall we be getting along?
1596
01:35:51,788 --> 01:35:53,081
I forget, er...
1597
01:35:53,164 --> 01:35:55,416
What's the penalty
for a near miss?
1598
01:35:55,500 --> 01:35:57,126
Oh, it varies.
1599
01:35:57,210 --> 01:35:59,963
In any case, they won't
chain you up, you know.
1600
01:36:06,302 --> 01:36:08,054
Some visitors for you.
1601
01:36:08,137 --> 01:36:10,348
- You may go in, Mrs Riordan.
- Thank you.
1602
01:36:11,724 --> 01:36:15,395
BILL: Well, hello, there, Storm.
This is a surprise!
1603
01:36:15,478 --> 01:36:16,813
(MONTY BARKING)
1604
01:36:16,896 --> 01:36:19,732
- Hello, Monty!
- How are you, Bill?
1605
01:36:20,108 --> 01:36:21,901
Oh, coming along fine.
1606
01:36:21,985 --> 01:36:23,778
Should be out of here
in a few days.
1607
01:36:23,861 --> 01:36:25,238
I'm so glad.
1608
01:36:26,155 --> 01:36:27,240
Bill...
1609
01:36:28,241 --> 01:36:31,286
I expect you've wondered why
I haven't been in to see you before.
1610
01:36:31,369 --> 01:36:34,497
- No, I haven't been wondering.
- With the shock, and everything.
1611
01:36:34,580 --> 01:36:36,332
- Oh, sure.
- Clive, you know.
1612
01:36:36,416 --> 01:36:37,292
Yeah, sure.
1613
01:36:37,375 --> 01:36:40,461
I thought I'd like to drop in
to see how you were.
1614
01:36:40,670 --> 01:36:41,671
Oh, I'm fine.
1615
01:36:41,754 --> 01:36:43,756
And to say goodbye.
1616
01:36:44,257 --> 01:36:46,259
Goodbye?
You're going away?
1617
01:36:46,467 --> 01:36:49,846
My doctors want me to have a holiday,
so I'm going on a long sea trip.
1618
01:36:50,305 --> 01:36:53,266
Oh, swell!
Where are you going?
1619
01:36:53,349 --> 01:36:55,560
South America, Mexico...
1620
01:36:55,643 --> 01:36:57,770
Oh, you'll love Mexico!
1621
01:36:57,854 --> 01:36:59,314
Are you going alone?
1622
01:36:59,939 --> 01:37:01,357
No...
1623
01:37:01,441 --> 01:37:03,609
Well, Monty's coming with me,
of course.
1624
01:37:03,693 --> 01:37:05,486
Oh, yeah, Monty. Yeah!
1625
01:37:05,570 --> 01:37:08,114
You'll find he's
a wonderful companion.
1626
01:37:08,323 --> 01:37:10,742
When we get back,
we really must get together again.
1627
01:37:10,825 --> 01:37:11,993
Yes, we must.
1628
01:37:12,076 --> 01:37:14,245
I'll leave it to you
to get in touch with me.
1629
01:37:14,370 --> 01:37:15,747
Yes, you leave it to me.
1630
01:37:15,830 --> 01:37:19,208
I'll, er... I really must go now.
I have a hair appointment.
1631
01:37:19,292 --> 01:37:21,878
- Mmm, mustn't be late for that!
- (CHUCKLING)
1632
01:37:22,837 --> 01:37:24,964
- Bye, Bill.
- Goodbye, Storm.
1633
01:37:25,506 --> 01:37:27,633
Think of me sometimes.
1634
01:37:28,134 --> 01:37:31,637
I have an idea I'll never forget you
as long as I live.
1635
01:37:43,775 --> 01:37:44,650
STORM:
Monty!
1636
01:37:44,817 --> 01:37:46,069
Monty, come here!
1637
01:38:01,000 --> 01:38:02,668
(DOOR CLOSING)
