04:52My next case?
04:54Yeah.
04:55I want you to get over to Merston Manor,
04:56take statements for everyone concerned,
04:58find out what they're up to.
04:59Get statements.
04:59That's nice.
05:01Jeff, are you feeling all right?
05:03Yeah, fine.
05:04And don't let anyone give you any nonsense,
05:06because they're all trespassing.
05:08Who's trespassing?
05:10The ghosts.
05:11Perfect for you.
05:12Jeff, now you know I don't like that sort of thing.
05:15Haunted houses give...
05:16I've got a nervous disposition.
05:18You've also got a death certificate,
05:19so get over there and find out who's doing all the screaming.
05:22Screaming?
05:30Morning, Mr. Randall.
05:31Morning, Jenny.
05:39Mr. Randall?
05:41Mr. Randall?
05:42Oh, come on, Jeff.
05:44This is Jenny, Jeannie's sister.
05:47Hey, listen.
05:48If you play your cards right,
05:50we could end up as brothers-in-law.
05:52Come on.
06:02What?
06:03Come here.
06:10Marty, she's helping out while Jeannie's on holiday.
06:12She is not running a marriage bureau.
06:13It's about time you've settled down, Mr. Randall.
06:16Look, I know what you're trying to do.
06:17You're trying to change the subject.
06:19All right, Jeff.
06:20All right.
06:21Why can't we both go to Merston Manor?
06:23Because I'm on the Morgland case, and I'm late already.
06:25But a haunted house, Jeff, on my own.
06:28If it is haunted, you won't be on your own, will you?
06:30And you might even pick up a few tips now.
06:32Go!
06:43Uh, I'm off now, Jenny.
06:45Well, I'll be fine.
06:47Um, if there's a panic, can I get you at Morgland's?
06:50Yeah, sure.
06:51You know where everything is?
06:52Mm-hmm.
06:53Gene told me.
06:54I'll see you later.
06:56Yes, Miss James.
06:57Mr. Randall has arrived, sir.
06:58Send him in.
07:03Sorry if I'm a bit late.
07:17I had to see a client, first thing.
07:19Shall we begin?
07:31I understood that we had first call on your services, Randall.
07:34Simpson is waiting outside.
07:36He's a dispatch clerk in our security delivery service.
07:39We'll take Simpson now, please.
07:41Yes, Mr. Carlson.
07:42Does he actually handle the diamonds?
07:43Yes, he checks them and then packs them for collection.
07:46Mr. Simpson, sir.
07:48Sit there, will you?
07:56Thank you, Miss James.
07:59When you're ready, Mr. Randall.
08:01Um, sure. Carry on.
08:02I don't think I need to explain the situation, Mr. Simpson.
08:05You know all about the missing consignment of diamonds.
08:07Yes, sir. The police...
08:08I'm not concerned with what you told the police.
08:10Mr. Randall here is, uh, retained by our insurance company.
08:13He wants to know your precise involvement with the consignment.
08:16Oh, yes.
08:17Well, I received the stones, in the usual way, from the strong room.
08:21And then I...
08:22Which way was that, Mr. Simpson?
08:23Oh, they were brought to me by Mr. Fletcher.
08:25He usually does, you know, in a sealed container.
08:27Very well.
08:28Now, I want you to go back to the moment that you arrived at the office that morning,
08:32and tell me everything that you did.
08:34Oh, I...
08:35I...
08:36I'm not sure that I can remember everything.
08:38We shall help you, Mr. Simpson.
08:40We want to know every single move.
08:43You know, Mr. Simpson.
08:44I'm not sure that we'll get to the house every single move.
08:45Thank you, Mr. Simpson.
08:47Thank you, Mr. Simpson.
08:49I have to go back to New Yorkshire as a model.
08:54This is happening in my history.
08:56I have to go back to New Yorkshire.
08:58I have to go back to New Yorkshire.
09:00What?
09:01A nice job.
09:03Ah-ha!
09:33Mr Randolph! Mr Randolph!
09:36Are you here?
09:37No, he's on another case. I'm the other half, Hopkirk.
09:54Where are you going?
09:56I thought you didn't believe in ghosts?
09:58And you watched the canister from the moment it was taken from the safe
10:02until the moment it was left with the delivery agent.
10:04Yes, sir.
10:06All right, thank you, sir.
10:11Are there many more to see?
10:12Four or five. I'll have to leave them till tomorrow.
10:15Well, that suits me fine.
10:17I don't see it at all. Everyone is confirming everyone else's alibi.
10:21Well, that's usually how alibis work.
10:23Well, then perhaps you can tell me how an entire consignment of diamonds
10:26can disappear under everyone's nose.
10:28It's possible.
10:29How?
10:30It's too soon to say.
10:31You'll get a copy of my report.
10:33See you tomorrow.
10:34We should have it all wrapped up by lunchtime.
10:46You finished?
10:47I think so.
10:49Fine. I'll give you a lift.
10:51You don't even know where I live?
10:53We can discuss such details over it.
10:55Drink.
11:00Or if you play your cards right. Even dinner.
11:02Sorry to barge in on you, Mr. Randall, knowing how busy you are.
11:20Uh, my secretary.
11:22You don't have to apologise.
11:24It's urgent. I'm afraid you'll have to drop everything, Mr. Randall.
11:28Shall we make it tomorrow?
11:35Do I make an appointment?
11:42I'm sorry.
11:43Yeah.
11:44But I've had a very trying afternoon.
11:46You forgot to tell me who Mr. Webster was.
11:48Oh, the estate agent.
11:49We didn't get on at all well.
11:51He accused you of doing nothing about his case.
11:53And I told him that you couldn't possibly have accepted it
11:55because you were already under an exclusive retainer.
11:58Oh, that's not bad for starters.
12:00Hmm. Gets better.
12:01He finally said that unless you're on the job tonight, you are fired.
12:05It never occurred to you that I'd put another man on the case.
12:08But we haven't got another man.
12:10If only you'd mentioned it, Mr. Randall.
12:13Yeah, I'm sorry.
12:14Oh, and the other call, this one wouldn't give his name,
12:17but he said he wanted to see you tonight at this address.
12:23Impossible.
12:24He told me to say that he knew who had the diamonds.
12:27So, you see, I had to get you away from...
12:31Yeah.
12:33A warehouse in the docks?
12:35It's a rough neighbourhood.
12:37It could be a trap.
12:39Well, like the man said,
12:41there's only one way to find out.
12:44Oh, my coat.
13:05It's a box in the air.
13:07All right.
13:08Oh, it's a box.
13:09Okay.
13:10That's a box.
13:11I'm sorry.
13:12Oh, my gosh.
13:14It's a box.
13:15I'm sorry.
13:16Number two.
13:17Oh.
13:18Okay.
13:19It's a box.
13:20It's a box.
13:21It's a box.
13:22It's a box.

13:27It's a box.
13:28I'm sorry.
13:29It's a box.
13:30It's a box.
13:31It's a box.

13:51all right I'm listening what sort of fee do you get for the Morgan case pays the
13:57rent tomorrow you should finish the interviews you know a lot and I think your report to the
14:02insurance company should be a very negative one there's still Coulson Coulson's a fool and he
14:08doesn't want to tie it into the company anyway you play your cards right and there's five thousand
14:13in it you must be terrified all I want is peace and quiet and you're the one who can get it for
14:20me so you do work there 5,000 all you have to do is decide it was an outside job and if I don't I
14:28wouldn't advise that Randall I see now let me give you a piece of advice next time you want to play
14:34a gunman make sure the tubing is the right bore

15:48every time you jump out of the woodwork no I talk to you like a normal rational individual so all you
15:54have to do is to go down there and have a nice quiet chat with whoever is doing the haunting supposing
15:59it isn't a nice quiet ghost for all I know it can be some silly fool waving a sword about straight
16:03out of Macbeth and my head is not ending up on a plate for anybody that was Samson and Delilah
16:08well it could be two ghosts look I can't handle both cases at once Webster's breathing down my neck

26:31doing his once in a lifetime job and well who's he know except the well the fence the man he passed
26:39the diamonds onto he's the only person he can trust and the only person with a good reason
26:42for grabbing jenny that makes sense it's got to be then all previs has to do is lie low until the
26:48thing cools off then take the holiday abroad but what about jenny it could take weeks jeff you've got to
26:54do something i can't do anything until i know who the fence is and that's your job mine look sooner or
27:00later previs is going to contact the fence you haunt previs don't let him out of your sight for a
27:04minute right hang on i don't know previs we'll pick him up at his office and let me know the second
27:10he meets that fence right busy mr randall frantic
27:21randall i don't think you realize the urgency involved i am sitting on a client who i dare not
27:32take out to the merston manor property until this nonsense is stopped mr webster we all have our
27:37problems some of which are even more urgent than selling a house possibly but if you were able to go
27:42there this afternoon then you were also able to give me some sort of a report the report was done this
27:47morning what did you say just that if you had time to go there this afternoon this afternoon yes

28:41you

29:41Let's go.
30:11Let's go.
30:41Let's go.
30:42Let's go.
30:43Let's go.
30:44Let's go.
30:45Oh, you had me so worried.
30:56Let's go.
30:57Let's go.
30:58Is it always like this?
31:00What?
31:01Your job.
31:03Only when I don't do it right.
31:07What's all this about, Jeff?
31:08Well, I'm not sure.
31:10But I should think this is some kind of hideout, probably for stolen goods.
31:13Well, why bring me here?
31:15Well, it's all tied in with the Morgland case.
31:18Previce must have used that fence for the diamonds.
31:20And he's holding you to keep my mouth shut.
31:22Now he's got you as well.
31:23Yeah.
31:24Lucky Previce.
31:25How many are there of them?
31:28Do you know?
31:30Two of them brought me here, and then I heard another one come later.
31:36Well, they can't keep us here for long.
31:40Can they?
31:41I don't know.
31:43I should think they're probably more worried about that than we are.
31:46Is Jackson on watch?
31:48Yes, at the front.
31:50Get me a brandy.
32:03That'll be Previce now.
32:11Ah-ha!
32:40Nice of you to come, old chap.
32:44Drink?
32:45No, thanks.
32:47It's no fault of mine that Randall found his way here.
32:49What?
32:50What was that?
32:50We weren't followed.
32:52Don't blame me!
32:53That's hardly the point.
32:55Due to a very unfortunate set of circumstances,
32:59Mr. Randall found our little nest.
33:02The point is, Previce,
33:04what are you going to do about it?
33:07Well, I really don't consider it my problem.
33:10Oh, he's a bit of a joker, isn't he?
33:13We only agreed to hold the girl until the stones had been disposed of and Randall had cleared you.
33:19The situation now is quite different.
33:21Our whole operation is in jeopardy.
33:23I can't help that.
33:25But, my dear chap,
33:27it's all your fault.
33:32Well, this is a fine mess, isn't it?
33:34You were supposed to stay at the office.
33:35And who was supposed to check this house out?
33:37Well, it certainly wasn't me.
33:39I'm sorry, love.
33:41I was just kicking myself for not checking this place over.
33:43Exactly.
33:44And anyway, you know perfectly well how nervous I get when there's other ghosts about.
33:48A few lousy sound effects.
33:50Well, they are very convincing, Jeff.
33:52No one expects a ghost to punch them on the jaw.
33:56Oh, so that was it, was it?
33:57You fell for that one, did you?
33:59Right now, there's a ghost I wouldn't mind having a few rounds with.
34:01Oh, not the way these ropes are tied, I'm afraid.
34:07I'd like to know what they're talking about.
34:09Well, I'm doing my best, Jeff.
34:10I just can't loosen the knots.
34:12I know, love.
34:13I'm sorry.
34:15All right, Jeff.
34:15All right, I'm going.
34:16The fact is, you led him here.
34:24He knows you.
34:26I know, but what else can we do?
34:38You can't be serious.
34:40Perfectly serious.
34:41Unless, of course, you'd like us to do a deal with Randall.
34:44Let him have you and the diamonds.
34:53May I recommend something a little more subtle?
34:57A fatal car accident in the early hours.
35:00The driver smelling strongly of drink, of course.
35:03Jeff, have you any idea what they're planning in there?
35:20They're forcing Previce to kill you, both of you.
35:22They're even telling him how to do it.
35:23Oh, it's no use, Jeff.
35:28We'll just have to sit it out.
35:29No, Jenny.
35:30Listen, Jeff, we've got to do something.
35:33Well, the only way is to get some help.
35:34Help?
35:35Yes, but how?
35:36But there isn't time.
35:42Don't worry, Jenny.
35:43I'll think of something.
35:44No.
35:48No, I couldn't.
35:50Very well.
35:53Latimer.
35:57Bring Randall out.
36:03All right.
36:04No, Previce.
36:05Don't.
36:05Don't listen to him.
36:07All right.
36:10I'll need help.
36:12Latimer will stay here with you.
36:13Now, don't worry, old chap.
36:20You'll be amazed how easy it is.
36:23No one will suspect anything but a boss having a night out
36:26with his secretary.
36:31Give me an hour to show up at the club.
36:34How much help do I give him?
36:37If he doesn't do it, kill him and deal with the others.
36:43There's got to be a way.
36:53There's got to be.
36:53Oh, try and get some sleep, Jeff.
36:59We might have some ideas in the morning.
37:04Jeannie's going to be very upset about this, Jeff.
37:05She'll never forgive you.
37:09Somehow you've got to get someone over here.
37:11Someone nearby who isn't afraid of ghosts.
37:14All right, I'll try.
37:16But even if I do find someone,
37:18who's going to listen to a ghost giving them directions to a haunted house?
37:21Together, we have witnessed many strange and inexplicable occurrences.
37:40However, I'm going to concentrate only on the situation at Mustern Manor.
37:47Throughout the night, we heard many sounds which could be construed as supernatural.
37:52But I'm able to tell you now that after further investigation, the following day,
38:00almost all the manifestations could be put down to purely natural material causes.
38:12Mr. Horsfall, good evening.
38:14I've got to talk to you.
38:16Listen, I can solve the whole Mustern Manor problem,
38:19but I shall have to address the meeting, through you, of course.
38:21But you can't really be a...
38:23A ghost? Of course I'm a ghost.
38:24I thought you were supposed to be an expert.
38:27Henry, what is it?
38:29There's been a complication.
38:30This gentleman wants to address the meeting.
38:34Have you been drinking, Henry?
38:35What gentleman?
38:37This gentleman over here, in the white suit.
38:40Pull yourself together, Henry.
38:41There's no one there.
38:43Mr. Waller, the meeting, please.
38:46Oh, excuse me.
38:49Mr. Horsfall, you've got to listen to me.
38:52I need everybody's help.
38:53Go away.
38:54You don't exist.
38:56You're an imposter.
38:57What?
38:58Oh, for crying out loud.
39:07Look what I found.
39:10It'll make it look more like an accident,
39:12just in case the car doesn't catch fire.
39:16Blankford said to wait an hour.
39:18Well, there's still 30 minutes.
39:22We might as well do the thing properly.
39:23What's the matter, Previs?
39:25Are you afraid to look them in the face?
39:28Well, couldn't we wait till they're asleep?
39:30Perhaps use a drug?
39:33I haven't got Blankford's patience.
39:35In actual fact, ladies and gentlemen, for every supernatural incident, there is a supernormal answer.
40:01In the case of Marston Manor, my colleague and I have been to great pains to ensure that it is merely a very old deserted house.
40:15Henry, for the last time, will you stop behaving like a fool and listen to me?
40:18Go away, go away, go away.
40:20I will not go away.
40:22I'm warning you, Henry.
40:23If you don't help me, I'll haunt you for the rest of your life.
40:26Go away, whoever you are, please, go away.
40:28My colleague does seem rather anxious to make one or two points, so I think I will introduce him without further ado.
40:35Here he is, Mr. Henry Mace Horsfall.
40:39You'd better listen to me, Henry, because if you don't, there'll be two more ghosts screaming at you.
40:43Go away, go away.
40:44I'm terribly sorry, but I really would like to say something.
40:50Be quiet!
40:52Ladies and gentlemen.
40:54Never mind, ladies and gentlemen.
40:56Oh, all right, all right, just tell me, tell me anything to say anything.
41:00Right.
41:03Ladies and gentlemen, the truth about Merchland Manor is that it is haunted, and a ghost is with us here in the house tonight.
41:13Now, the reason he is here is, he wants to tell us, a gang have made their headquarters there.
41:22And there are two people going to be murdered in cold blood tonight.
41:27Well, really, Horner?
41:30Yes, going to be murdered in cold blood.
41:33Tell her to ask, Webster.
41:34He'll prove it.
41:34Oh, yes, Webster.
41:35He'll prove it.
41:36He'll prove it, all right.
41:37What?
41:38Come on, Henry.
41:39Come on, Henry.
41:40What about the meeting?
41:41One, two, one, two, one, two, one.
41:43One, two, one, two, one.
41:44Open your head.
41:44Come on, Henry.
41:45Open the door.
41:46Yeah.
41:47Don't be too late.
41:58Randall.
42:01Randall.
42:03You're the detective.
42:04Could you tell if the bodies in a burnt-out car had died before or after the crash?
42:13If you weren't so stupid, you'd know there's a lot more to it than that.
42:17Oh, yes, of course there is.
42:19First, Previce uses a starting handle on you both.
42:25Now, if it was me, he'd be quick and painless, but Previce, who is very nervous and not very strong.
42:31Oh, stop it.
42:40Get on with it.
42:42All right.
42:44But you stay outside.
42:46Oh, no.
42:47If I've got to do it, I don't want a witness.
42:59All right.
43:00I don't want a witness.
43:30Scream.
43:37Scream.
43:45Scream.
43:48Scream.
43:48Ahhhhhhh!
43:56Ahhhhhhh!
44:12I...
44:18Let's go.
44:48Drop that gun!
45:10Thank you, sir.
45:11Pleasure, my dear fellow.
45:14Unpleasant type of.
45:15Yes, somewhat.
45:16There's another couple upstairs the police would be interested in seeing.
45:19Oh, right!
45:24How's Jenny? Is she all right?
45:25She's okay. She's upstairs.
45:27You cut it a bit fine, didn't you?
45:29That's nice. That's charming, that is.
45:30I saved your life and all you can do is complain.
45:32I mean, well, we cleared up both cases, didn't we?
45:44Oh, Frederick, I think I'd like to go home.
45:48I'm not surprised, Henry.
45:50You've made a positive spectacle of yourself
45:52to say nothing of our reputations.
45:54Now, listen.
45:55I want the truth.
45:56How did you know about this?
45:58Well, I'll tell you, Frederick.
45:59When I was coming into the hall,
46:01there were these people,
46:02and I overheard.
46:03What's up with the little fellow?
46:04He's all right, Jeff.
46:05He's just seen a ghost, that's all.
46:06Oh, you come.
46:19Not the lady, Colonel.
46:22Can you manage this one?
46:24Come along, you.
46:27You all right, Jenny?
46:31It's been quite a day, hasn't it?
46:33She's done very well, hasn't she, Jeff?
46:35Yes, she has.
46:36What was that?
46:38Nothing.
46:39Come on.
46:40It runs in the family, you know.
46:53I know it's all cleared up,
46:54but there's something I still don't understand.
46:56What's that?
46:57How did Henry, what's his name, Henry Horsfall,
47:01how did you know where we were?
47:03Yeah, I don't know, Jenny.
47:04Perhaps the old place really was haunted.
47:07Yeah!
47:08Yeah!
47:09Oh, he's there's nothing.
47:14We were hunting around,
47:17I don't know.
47:17Yeah, I don't know.
47:18Oh, he is.
47:18Yeah.
47:19Yeah.
47:22I don't know.
