00:00:00You

00:01:00I could murder Sir John.

00:01:05Calling you back to London right in the middle of your holiday.

00:01:08Oh, my darling, you know perfectly well that in the diplomatic service,

00:01:11neither rain nor snow nor gloom of night

00:01:13shall stay us in the proper execution of our duty.

00:01:17I'm sorry to say.

00:01:18I suppose it's another crisis.

00:01:20Who's walking out on whom this time?

00:01:23I really don't know,

00:01:24but they sounded very hush-hush and mysterious on the telephone.

00:01:29Henry?

00:01:30Mm-hmm.

00:01:31Supposing Sir John were to send you to a strange country on a secret mission?

00:01:37Yes, go on.

00:01:38And supposing you were arrested as a spy

00:01:41and shot by a firing squad, what then?

00:01:45In that case, my sweet,

00:01:48you'd be the most attractive widow in England.

00:01:52Daddy, Clarissa!

00:01:53Oh, that's Pippa.

00:01:59Are you leaving now, Pippa?

00:02:01Yes, I've got to hurry.

00:02:02I'll be late from the school bus.

00:02:04Bye, Pippa.

00:02:04Enjoy your lunch.

00:02:05Bye.

00:02:06Darling, I can't thank you enough for what you've done for Pippa.

00:02:18Oh, darling.

00:02:19Oh, she's been through such misery.

00:02:21And now she's well,

00:02:23and she's happy.

00:02:27She and I get along very well.

00:02:30But do you know what I've often wondered?

00:02:32What?

00:02:32What she really thinks of me as a stepmother.

00:02:38You see,

00:02:40in fairy tales,

00:02:42stepmothers are always so beastly.

00:02:44Oh, now, really, Clarissa,

00:02:45that's nonsense.

00:02:46No, I mean it.

00:02:48Supposing

00:02:49that deep down inside,

00:02:53Pippa really resented me.

00:02:55And supposing she found some deadly herb

00:02:58and put it in my salad one day.

00:02:59I'm sorry, darling.

00:03:05But she's been taking a morbid interest

00:03:08in grisly subjects

00:03:09and actually collecting books

00:03:11on voodoo and witchcraft.

00:03:13Darling, those subjects are more or less compulsory

00:03:14for a 12-year-old.

00:03:15Do you know what would really bother me?

00:03:17What?

00:03:18If she stopped reading

00:03:19and started supposing.

00:03:25Good morning, madam.

00:03:26Good morning, sir.

00:03:26Morning, Elgin.

00:03:27Morning, Elgin.

00:03:27Breakfast is on the terrace.

00:03:29Have Sir Rowland

00:03:30and Mr. Warren

00:03:31a head there?

00:03:32Oh, yes, madam.

00:03:32I think they're going out.

00:03:33By the way,

00:03:34it's our night off.

00:03:35Mrs. Elgin and I

00:03:36thinking of going into Maidstone.

00:03:37Is there anything

00:03:38we can do for you?

00:03:39No, thank you.

00:03:40Very thoughtful of you.

00:03:41Have a good time.

00:03:42Thank you, madam.

00:03:44Good man, Elgin.

00:03:45His wife's a first-rate cook.

00:03:48Miss Peake doesn't think so.

00:03:50She loathes the Elgins.

00:03:51What's she got against them?

00:03:52Well, her hatred is founded on the fact

00:03:56that Mrs. Elgin does not care for her vegetables.

00:04:00And as Miss Peake was the gardener

00:04:02for the former owner of Copleston Court,

00:04:04she rather resents being criticized by the Elgins.

00:04:08Actually, she has implied that Elgin is an ex-jailbird

00:04:12masquerading as a butler.

00:04:14Darling, Miss Peake's imagination

00:04:16is almost as vivid as yours.

00:04:19You think it's imagination?

00:04:22What do you think she's doing now?

00:04:29What the devil is the woman doing?

00:04:31I'd say she's digging a grave.

00:04:35For Mr. and Mrs. Elgin.

00:04:37You mean she's...

00:04:40Darling, I love you.

00:04:42Miss Peake is digging a trench.

00:04:44For the potatoes or something.

00:04:46Oh, is that all?

00:04:48I hope your victims don't discover

00:04:49what you suppose about them.

00:04:51They'll never be the same again.

00:04:52Rowley.

00:04:53Hello.

00:04:53Morning, Jeremy.

00:04:54Hello, darling.

00:04:55Good morning, darling.

00:04:56Lovely day for gold.

00:04:57That's what we thought.

00:04:58Are you two playing together?

00:04:59No, no.

00:04:59Rowley's playing with a local JP.

00:05:01Hugo Birch.

00:05:02Oh, have a good game.

00:05:03Thank you very much indeed.

00:05:05Well, see you later.

00:05:07Bye, Jeremy.

00:05:08Bye.

00:05:10Now, what about Rowley?

00:05:11Now, he's a good subject to suppose about.

00:05:13He was your guardian for years.

00:05:15Wouldn't hurt a fly.

00:05:17He's generous.

00:05:19But supposing he isn't my guardian.

00:05:23Supposing he's an imposter

00:05:24who killed the real Rowley in my childhood.

00:05:28Oh, ho.

00:05:30You win, darling.

00:05:31Don't you want to know what I suppose about Jeremy?

00:05:33Um, yes.

00:05:34There's just time for one more.

00:05:35Well, supposing we went away together.

00:05:37What would happen then?

00:05:39Um, I don't know.

00:05:40What would?

00:05:40Well, the first time I supposed it,

00:05:42we were in the south of France

00:05:44and you arrived

00:05:45and you had a revolver.

00:05:46Ah, did I?

00:05:47And you said,

00:05:49if you don't come back to England with me, Clarissa...

00:05:51If you don't come back to England with me, Clarissa...

00:05:53I'll shoot myself.

00:05:54I'll shoot...

00:05:55I'll shoot myself?

00:05:58That was jolly decent of me.

00:05:59What did you say?

00:06:00Well, I couldn't quite make up my mind.

00:06:08I really must go now, darling.

00:06:11I won't be back late.

00:06:12Unless he's arrested as a spy

00:06:18and shot by a firing squad.

00:06:24That, you say, is the Dow 42.

00:06:26The kitchen staff,

00:06:27the Coburn 27.

00:06:28Right?

00:06:29Precisely.

00:06:32Well, don't swallow the lard.

00:06:34Lufia, what are you two...

00:06:35Shh, don't interrupt.

00:06:36The great experts on the job.

00:06:38We've got a big bet on this.

00:06:42Toburn 27.

00:06:49Dow 42.

00:06:51Kitchen 55.

00:06:51You've lost, old boy.

00:06:54Well, darling,

00:06:55have you settled it yet?

00:06:56Yes, I've won and he's lost.

00:06:58You owe me five pounds.

00:06:58Oh, good.

00:06:59Well, now you can take the tray

00:07:01into the dining room

00:07:02and you'll find the decanter on the sideboard.

00:07:05The decanter?

00:07:06Oh, yes, only one.

00:07:07It's all the same porch, you know.

00:07:09You unprincipled little...

00:07:12Stop laughing.

00:07:15Oh, I'm disgusted with your behaviour.

00:07:17But you look so bored.

00:07:18I thought I'd give you a little entertainment.

00:07:20Entertainment.

00:07:21I'll never forgive you for this.

00:07:23I'll never talk to you again

00:07:24as long as I live.

00:07:25Hello, Clarissa.

00:07:32Hi, Jeremy.

00:07:33Hello, darling.

00:07:34Oh, I'm starving.

00:07:35Haven't you had your tea?

00:07:37Oh, yes, but that was half an hour ago.

00:07:39Can't I have something to last me till supper?

00:07:41All right, we'll see what we can find.

00:07:43Be back in a minute, Jeremy.

00:07:44All right.

00:07:44Oh, Lord, save us.

00:07:52Here comes that peak, woman.

00:07:54Now, listen.

00:07:55Try and keep your temper.

00:07:57Oh, look who's talking.

00:07:58You don't have to put up with her.

00:07:59For the last six weeks,

00:08:00I've been cooking that woman's puny vegetables

00:08:02for the Hanson Browns.

00:08:04Every day, she comes barging into my kitchen,

00:08:06causing trouble.

00:08:08I know, but we're stuck with her,

00:08:09and we're miles from London.

00:08:11This is a stinking job.

00:08:12Let's try and make the best of it.

00:08:13Lucky to find any kind of job

00:08:15with your references.

00:08:17Here, I don't think I like that.

00:08:19Oh, try her.

00:08:23Vegetables for tomorrow's dinner.

00:08:25More like the cat's dinner, if you ask me.

00:08:28You have a keen sense of humour, Mrs Elkin.

00:08:31You need it to be married to that.

00:08:33Look at these tomatoes.

00:08:34Not fit for cooking, let alone eating.

00:08:36What you know about cooking

00:08:37could be stuck in a flea's navel.

00:08:40Listen to her.

00:08:41Get out of my kitchen.

00:08:42Go on, out.

00:08:42It's not your kitchen.

00:08:43It's the Hilsham Browns,

00:08:44and they should be more careful

00:08:46about the agency they get their help from.

00:08:48What?

00:08:49Oh, so you've suddenly come to life, Elgin.

00:08:53I can't say it's a great improvement.

00:08:56Look, don't think I don't know

00:08:57about that peculiar agency in London.

00:09:01Who are you to talk?

00:09:03Who knows where you came from?

00:09:05I came with the house,

00:09:06and I'm staying with the house,

00:09:07and that is more than I can say

00:09:08about either of you.

00:09:09Oh, so put that in your saucepan

00:09:12and burn it.

00:09:15Stomach poisoner.

00:09:17Oh!

00:09:19Do you like living in the country?

00:09:21Rather.

00:09:21Much better than London.

00:09:23This is a wizard house, Jeremy.

00:09:25It's got everything.

00:09:26It's even got a priest's home.

00:09:28A priest's home?

00:09:29In this house?

00:09:29Yes.

00:09:30Oh, I can't believe that.

00:09:31It's the wrong sort of place altogether.

00:09:33Doc, I'll show you then.

00:09:37You watch this.

00:09:44Good heavens.

00:09:45That's fantastic.

00:09:47Of course,

00:09:47this really a priest's home.

00:09:49It goes through to the library.

00:09:51Come, I'll show you.

00:09:52Yes, right.

00:09:54This is the library.

00:09:55Fantastic.

00:09:58Oh, we can go through this door

00:10:00and back into Troy Hill again.

00:10:04Ah, that fooled you, didn't it?

00:10:06Here, how do I close this?

00:10:07There's a switch on the side.

00:10:09Oh, yes.

00:10:13We just made it.

00:10:15You'd never guess the recess was there

00:10:16unless you knew.

00:10:17You certainly wouldn't.

00:10:18I use it all the time.

00:10:20It's the sort of place

00:10:21that would be very convenient

00:10:23for putting a dead body.

00:10:24Don't you think?

00:10:26Yes, yes.

00:10:27Absolutely made for it.

00:10:32Well, I suppose we may as well

00:10:34go over to the golf house.

00:10:35Good Lord, yes.

00:10:36Yes, I've got a change.

00:10:37I'll be five minutes.

00:10:38I hope you don't mind

00:10:39dining at the club, darling.

00:10:41No, as the servants are going out,

00:10:42it seems a very sensible arrangement.

00:10:44Um, Miss Pippa,

00:10:45your supper's ready

00:10:46in the schoolroom.

00:10:47Good, I'm ready.

00:10:48Yeah, yeah, what about the cards?

00:10:49Oh, bother.

00:10:50Yes, oh, bother.

00:10:51You're a very untidy little girl.

00:10:53Uh, excuse me, madam.

00:10:55What is it, Elgin?

00:10:56Mrs. Elgin is rather upset

00:10:58about that, um, matter.

00:11:00I do hope you'll speak

00:11:01to Miss Peeke about it.

00:11:03Oh, yes, of course I will.

00:11:04Thank you, madam.

00:11:08Elgin tells me

00:11:09that he isn't having

00:11:10a very friendly relationship

00:11:11with our garden.

00:11:13What?

00:11:13Curious, isn't it?

00:11:15It sounds improper

00:11:16in a pagan sort of way.

00:11:17Yes, it certainly does.

00:11:18You're very lucky,

00:11:20that couple, though.

00:11:20Where did you get them?

00:11:21From an employment agency

00:11:23in London.

00:11:24Mrs. Herschel-Brown.

00:11:25Do forgive me

00:11:26coming in like this.

00:11:27My feet are filthy.

00:11:30I mean the boots, naturally.

00:11:32I just wanted to ask you

00:11:33about the vegetables

00:11:34for tomorrow's dinner.

00:11:36By the way,

00:11:36you did speak to Mrs. Elgin

00:11:38about her rudeness.

00:11:39Not yet, Miss Peeke,

00:11:40but I will.

00:11:42And if you could possibly

00:11:43persuade her to put her head

00:11:44in the gas oven,

00:11:45I should be delighted.

00:11:47That woman drives me.

00:11:49Sit down,

00:11:50I'll answer it.

00:11:53Hello?

00:11:54Compostent Court.

00:11:55Yes.

00:11:56Is Mrs. Brown there, please?

00:11:57Yes, for you.

00:12:00Oh, I'm so sorry.

00:12:02Hello?

00:12:03Who's that speaking?

00:12:05Yes, this is Mrs.

00:12:07Hello?

00:12:09Hello?

00:12:11Very odd.

00:12:12They must have rung off.

00:12:13Mrs. Elgin Brown.

00:12:16You will be careful

00:12:18about marks on this table,

00:12:19won't you?

00:12:20Mr. Sellin was very particular.

00:12:22Really?

00:12:23And that ornament,

00:12:25that's always kept up there.

00:12:27It's old Elgin Brown,

00:12:28Mrs. Spode.

00:12:29Elgin Spode.

00:12:30I don't know what's come

00:12:31over me today.

00:12:32I had a very good night, too.

00:12:34Oh, well.

00:12:35Oh, well, Brown, Elgin,

00:12:37Elgin Brown's all the same,

00:12:38really, isn't it?

00:12:38No, it is not.

00:12:39A horse chestnut

00:12:40is not the same

00:12:41as a chestnut horse.

00:12:42I'm getting a ticking off.

00:12:45Well, I'll be getting along.

00:12:47Bye-bye.

00:12:48Goodbye.

00:12:49Hello, Hugo.

00:12:50How does Henry get on

00:12:52with Miss Peake?

00:12:53He rather likes her.

00:12:54She's not a bad sort, really.

00:12:55And a very good gardener.

00:12:57She came with the house

00:12:58and the house

00:12:59was terribly cheap.

00:13:00Cheap, is it, really?

00:13:01You surprise me.

00:13:02Marvellously cheap.

00:13:03It was advertised

00:13:04and we came to see it

00:13:05and we took it

00:13:06for six months furnished.

00:13:07Who does it belong to?

00:13:08A Mr. Sellin.

00:13:09He died.

00:13:10He was an antique dealer

00:13:11at Maidston.

00:13:12Yes, that's right.

00:13:13Sellin and Brown.

00:13:15They sold excellent antiques.

00:13:17Mind you,

00:13:18there are one or two

00:13:18disadvantages to this house.

00:13:20Only yesterday,

00:13:21a couple of men arrived

00:13:22and they wanted

00:13:22to buy that desk.

00:13:24I told them

00:13:25we didn't own it

00:13:25but they wouldn't listen to me.

00:13:26and they kept raising

00:13:27the price

00:13:28until it went up

00:13:29to 500 pounds.

00:13:30500 pounds?

00:13:31For that desk?

00:13:32Oh, Lord.

00:13:35Hello, darling.

00:13:37You're looking very depressed.

00:13:38What's the matter?

00:13:38I'm still hungry.

00:13:40She can't be.

00:13:41I am, though.

00:13:42Milk and chocolate biscuits

00:13:43and banana

00:13:44aren't really filling.

00:13:45Well, of course not.

00:13:47Give the poor child

00:13:47something to eat at once,

00:13:48good gracious.

00:13:51Yes.

00:13:52It's quite a nice desk.

00:13:55Genuine, I should think.

00:13:57Hardly what I call

00:13:58a collector's piece.

00:14:00Perhaps it's got a secret drawer,

00:14:01a diamond necklace in it.

00:14:02Hey, Biba?

00:14:03It has got a secret drawer.

00:14:04What?

00:14:06I found a book in the market

00:14:07all about secret drawers

00:14:08and all furniture.

00:14:10I looked all over the house

00:14:11but this is the only one

00:14:12I could find.

00:14:13Look, I'll show you.

00:14:15Slide out this

00:14:16and there's sort of a little

00:14:17catch thing underneath.

00:14:19The drawer flies out.

00:14:20See?

00:14:22I say, that's very good,

00:14:23isn't it?

00:14:23Hello, what's inside?

00:14:26April Fool.

00:14:27I put it there.

00:14:29You little villain.

00:14:31Actually, there was an envelope

00:14:32with Queen Victoria in it.

00:14:34Look, I'll show you.

00:14:35Do you correct autographs,

00:14:36Puffer?

00:14:36Not really, only as a sideline.

00:14:38How much is Queen Victoria's

00:14:39autograph worth?

00:14:40Oh, five to ten shillings,

00:14:41I should think.

00:14:42Hmm.

00:14:44There's Ruskin's here

00:14:45and Robert Browning's.

00:14:46I don't think they're worth

00:14:47very much either.

00:14:48Wish I had Carrie Grant's

00:14:50or Frank Sinatra's.

00:14:51Ah, yes.

00:14:53These historical ones

00:14:54are rather mouldy, I think.

00:14:55Well, I wouldn't mind

00:14:57having Bo to see us.

00:14:58That's if she could write.

00:15:01Oh, I'm sorry to keep

00:15:02you chaps waiting.

00:15:03Are you sure you won't

00:15:04come with us, Clarissa?

00:15:05No.

00:15:06Henry will be here soon,

00:15:07but I'll walk to the gate

00:15:08with you.

00:15:09Oh, fine.

00:15:09I'll be back in a minute,

00:15:10darling.

00:15:11Pippa, it's time

00:15:12little girls were in bed

00:15:13and it's time little boys

00:15:14went over to the club

00:15:15to get some dinner.

00:15:15Good night, darling.

00:15:17Thank you, Uncle Rowley.

00:15:17Good evening, sir.

00:15:42I'm Mr. Oliver Costello.

00:15:43I want to see Mrs. Brown.

00:15:45Brown?

00:15:46Oh, yes, of course.

00:15:48This way.

00:15:58If you wait here, sir,

00:15:59I'll find Mrs. Hales from Brown.

00:16:01Good evening.

00:16:29Who is her?

00:16:35What are you doing here?

00:16:38That's rather a silly question

00:16:39as I live here.

00:16:40Is this your house?

00:16:42Don't pretend you didn't know.

00:16:46It's charming.

00:16:47Used to belong to old

00:16:48what's-his-name,

00:16:49the antique dealer,

00:16:50didn't it?

00:16:52Cigarette.

00:16:52No, thank you.

00:16:54And I think you should go.

00:16:56My husband is due back

00:16:57quite soon

00:16:58and I don't think

00:16:59he'd be very pleased

00:16:59to see you.

00:17:00But I particularly

00:17:01want to see him.

00:17:02That's why I've come here,

00:17:03really.

00:17:05To discuss suitable

00:17:06arrangements.

00:17:08Arrangements?

00:17:08Mm-hmm.

00:17:11For Pippa.

00:17:14You see,

00:17:14Mirandra is quite agreeable

00:17:15to Pippa spending part

00:17:16of her summer holidays

00:17:17with Henry

00:17:18and perhaps a week

00:17:19at Christmas.

00:17:20But otherwise...

00:17:21This is Pippa's home.

00:17:23But...

00:17:23My dear Clarissa,

00:17:24surely you're aware

00:17:25that the court

00:17:25gave Mirandra

00:17:26the custody of the child.

00:17:28May I?

00:17:31The case was undefended.

00:17:34Remember?

00:17:34It was agreed

00:17:35that Pippa

00:17:36would live with her father.

00:17:38If Miranda

00:17:39had not agreed that,

00:17:40Henry would have

00:17:40divorced her.

00:17:42You don't know

00:17:42Mirandra very well,

00:17:43do you?

00:17:44She so often

00:17:45changes her mind.

00:17:47I don't think

00:17:48she cares toughens

00:17:49about the child.

00:17:50But you're not

00:17:51a mother,

00:17:51my dear Clarissa.

00:17:53You don't mind

00:17:54my calling

00:17:55your Clarissa,

00:17:55do you?

00:17:56After all,

00:17:57now that I'm

00:17:57married to Miranda,

00:17:58we're practically

00:17:59relations-in-law.

00:18:02Yes, I can assure you,

00:18:04Miranda's feeling

00:18:04violent and paternal.

00:18:06I don't believe it.

00:18:07Well, please yourself.

00:18:10But after all,

00:18:12there was no arrangement

00:18:13in writing, you know.

00:18:14You're not going

00:18:15to have Pippa.

00:18:16The child was

00:18:17a nervous wreck

00:18:18and now she's better.

00:18:20And that's the way

00:18:21she's going to remain.

00:18:22Oh.

00:18:22And how will you

00:18:24manage that?

00:18:25The law's on our side.

00:18:26What a fool I've been.

00:18:28It's blackmail.

00:18:30I was looking for you,

00:18:31madam.

00:18:32Will it be quite all right

00:18:33for us to leave now?

00:18:34Yes, Elgin.

00:18:36Supper's laid already

00:18:37in the dining room.

00:18:38Would you like me

00:18:38to close the windows

00:18:39before we go?

00:18:40No, I'll see to them.

00:18:42Yes.

00:18:43Thank you, madam.

00:18:43Good night.

00:18:44Good night.

00:18:44Blackmail.

00:18:52It's a very ugly word,

00:18:54Clarissa.

00:18:55Have I ever mentioned

00:18:56any money?

00:18:57No.

00:18:58But that's what you meant,

00:18:59isn't it?

00:19:00Well,

00:19:01I think Miranda thinks

00:19:04that Henry might give her

00:19:04a larger allowance.

00:19:06After all,

00:19:06he's quite comfortably off,

00:19:07isn't he?

00:19:08If you try and take

00:19:11Pippa away from here,

00:19:13I shall fight you

00:19:14tooth and nail.

00:19:15I don't care what

00:19:16weapons I use.

00:19:17What weapons have you?

00:19:19There's nothing to stop me

00:19:20going to the medical board

00:19:21and getting evidence

00:19:23proving that Miranda

00:19:24is a drug addict.

00:19:25And I might even go

00:19:27to Scotland Yard

00:19:28to the narcotic squad

00:19:30and suggest they keep

00:19:31an eye on you.

00:19:33Henry will hardly care

00:19:34for your methods.

00:19:35Then Henry can lump it.

00:19:38Clarissa?

00:19:41Hello, Pippa.

00:19:43How you've grown.

00:19:45I've just come to make

00:19:46some arrangements about you.

00:19:48Your mummy's looking

00:19:49forward to having you

00:19:50with her again.

00:19:51Well, come,

00:19:51I won't.

00:19:52Don't worry, darling,

00:19:54you're staying here with us.

00:19:55I assure you,

00:19:55she won't.

00:19:56Get out of here at once,

00:19:58will you?

00:19:58How rude.

00:19:59At once,

00:20:00do you hear?

00:20:01Excuse me,

00:20:02Mr. Hirshambrown,

00:20:03may I come in.

00:20:04Miss Peake,

00:20:04will you please

00:20:05show Mr. Costello out?

00:20:06Miss Peake?

00:20:07Yes,

00:20:08I'm the gardener here.

00:20:09Indeed.

00:20:10I came here once before

00:20:11to look at some

00:20:12antique furniture.

00:20:13In Mr. Sellens' time?

00:20:15Well, you can't see him

00:20:16today,

00:20:16he's dead.

00:20:17I didn't come to see

00:20:18Mr. Sellens.

00:20:19I came to see

00:20:19Mrs. Brown.

00:20:21Well,

00:20:22now you've seen her.

00:20:26Goodbye, Clarissa.

00:20:28Mr. Costello,

00:20:30will you go by bus

00:20:31or have you bought

00:20:31your own?

00:20:32I left my car

00:20:33round by the stone.

00:20:34This way.

00:20:39Oh.

00:20:41You'll hear from me again.

00:20:47He'll take me away from him.

00:20:48No, he won't.

00:20:49I hate him.

00:20:50I've always hated him.

00:20:51Now then, Peppa,

00:20:52I don't want to go back

00:20:53to Mother.

00:20:54I'd rather die.

00:20:55I'll kill him.

00:20:56Now then,

00:20:56that's enough of that.

00:20:58Where's your handkerchief?

00:20:59Blow your nose.

00:21:00You go and have your bath

00:21:05and give yourself

00:21:06a good wash

00:21:07because your neck's filthy.

00:21:08It always is.

00:21:10You won't let him

00:21:10take me away,

00:21:11will you?

00:21:12Over my dead body,

00:21:13I swear,

00:21:14or rather over his dead body.

00:21:16Satisfied?

00:21:16Oh, yes.

00:21:18Up you go.

00:21:19I'll be there in a minute.

00:21:20I'll be there in a minute.

00:21:50I'll be there in a minute.

00:22:20in the driveway.

00:22:20Not so.

00:22:22Why?

00:22:23Oh, nothing.

00:22:24I have a drink.

00:22:25Not just now,

00:22:26thank you.

00:22:29Who's in the house?

00:22:31Only Peppa.

00:22:32It's the Elgin's night out.

00:22:33That means we'll have

00:22:33really good coffee

00:22:34because I shall make it.

00:22:35Mm-hmm.

00:22:36Darling,

00:22:37is there anything the matter?

00:22:41The matter?

00:22:41No, nothing's the matter.

00:22:43But there is something.

00:22:45Do I perceive

00:22:46behind that

00:22:47foreign office facade

00:22:48a certain human excitement?

00:22:51Well,

00:22:51it is rather exciting

00:22:52in a way.

00:22:53The news was only

00:22:53given out officially

00:22:54tonight.

00:22:55Tarendorf's pen

00:22:56is due at London Airport

00:22:57at 8.40.

00:22:58But...

00:22:59Look, Clarissa,

00:23:01I must beg you

00:23:02to be discreet.

00:23:03But I'm much more discreet

00:23:04than the Sunday papers.

00:23:06Well...

00:23:07The conference is tomorrow.

00:23:13But it would be

00:23:14a great advantage

00:23:14if a conversation

00:23:15could take place

00:23:16between Sir John himself

00:23:17and Callendorf

00:23:18before then.

00:23:19Naturally,

00:23:20the reporters

00:23:20will all be around

00:23:21London Airport.

00:23:22And the moment

00:23:22the plane arrives,

00:23:23Callendorf's movements

00:23:24will become public property.

00:23:25That's where the fog

00:23:26comes in.

00:23:27Go on, darling.

00:23:28I'm thrilled.

00:23:28At the last moment,

00:23:29his plane will find

00:23:30that it is

00:23:30inadvisable

00:23:32to land at London Airport.

00:23:33It will be diverted,

00:23:34as is usual

00:23:34on these occasions.

00:23:35To Bindley Heath,

00:23:36which is only 15 miles away.

00:23:38I shall go down there

00:23:39now in the car,

00:23:39meet Callendorf

00:23:40and Sir John

00:23:41and bring them back here.

00:23:44Here?

00:23:45You know, Clarissa,

00:23:46this could be very important

00:23:47to me in my career.

00:23:49I mean,

00:23:49they're putting a lot

00:23:49of trust in me,

00:23:50having the meeting

00:23:51here in my house.

00:23:52So they should, darling.

00:23:53I think it's wonderful.

00:23:54Oh, by the way,

00:23:55Callendorf

00:23:56is to be referred to

00:23:57as Mr. Jones.

00:23:59Jones?

00:24:00Yes, one can't be too careful

00:24:01about using real names.

00:24:02Oh, I know,

00:24:03but Mr. Jones,

00:24:04couldn't they have thought

00:24:05of something better than that?

00:24:07Well, what's the matter with it?

00:24:08I thought it was

00:24:08rather a good idea.

00:24:09If we have anything

00:24:10more complicated,

00:24:11we might forget it ourselves.

00:24:13Oh, but darling,

00:24:14what do you think

00:24:17I should do

00:24:17when these important men arrive?

00:24:20I mean,

00:24:20Sir John and Mr. Jones.

00:24:22Do you think

00:24:22that I should retire

00:24:24to the harem,

00:24:25as it were?

00:24:28Or should I bring in

00:24:30the drinks,

00:24:30utter greetings

00:24:31and discreetly

00:24:32fade away?

00:24:33Now, Clarissa,

00:24:34please be serious.

00:24:35I am serious.

00:24:36Really, darling,

00:24:37nothing will go wrong.

00:24:37I won't let it.

00:24:38I say,

00:24:39what about Jeremy and Rowley?

00:24:41They're having dinner

00:24:42at the club with Hugo

00:24:43and they're going

00:24:43to play bridge afterwards,

00:24:44so they won't be back

00:24:46until midnight.

00:24:46And the Oggins are out?

00:24:48They won't be back

00:24:48until after 11.

00:24:49Good, that's fine.

00:24:50That means there's

00:24:51Sir John and Calendon

00:24:51and Mr.

00:24:56Jones.

00:24:57Oh.

00:25:01Anyway,

00:25:01they'll be through

00:25:02long before then.

00:25:03I'll just go up and change

00:25:04and say goodnight to Peppa.

00:25:06All right, darling.

00:25:08Oh, my briefcase, darling.

00:25:10I'll get it.

00:25:13Then I'll go

00:25:13and make the sandwiches.

00:25:15Well, through.

00:25:17How to cure warts,

00:25:21how to get

00:25:22your heart's desire,

00:25:24how to destroy

00:25:25your enemy.

00:25:28Hello, Daddy.

00:25:29Hello, darling.

00:25:30Just came to say goodnight.

00:25:31I'm so glad you're home.

00:25:33She's got to go out again,

00:25:34but I'll be back soon.

00:25:35Daddy,

00:25:36would you let anyone

00:25:37take me away

00:25:38from you and Clarissa?

00:25:39Oh, of course not,

00:25:41you silly old thing.

00:25:42Would you kill anyone

00:25:43who tried?

00:25:45I might.

00:25:46Ah, Peppa.

00:25:49Where on earth

00:25:49do you get

00:25:50these morbid thoughts?

00:25:51Well,

00:25:52supposing I was...

00:25:54Never mind.

00:25:55I think I know.

00:25:58Goodnight, darling.

00:25:59Goodnight, darling.

00:26:00Goodnight, darling.

00:26:00Goodnight, babe.

00:26:02Goodnight, honey.

00:26:02Why?

00:26:03I'm not going to die.

00:26:03Now,

00:26:04I'm not going to die.

00:26:04Did you?

00:26:05I'm not going to die.

00:26:05No, I'm going to die.

00:28:21Thank you, darling.

00:28:22Don't fuss.

00:28:23You go and see your Mr. Jones.

00:28:24I still think it's a ridiculous name.

00:28:25And wear your overcoat.

00:28:26It's chilly outside.

00:28:27Yes, dear.

00:28:28And your scarf.

00:28:30Yes, dear.

00:28:31And drive carefully.

00:28:33Yes, dear.

00:28:35Goodbye.

00:28:37Goodbye.

00:28:44Goodbye.

00:28:45Goodbye.

00:28:47Goodbye.

00:28:48Goodbye.

00:28:49Goodbye.

00:28:51Goodbye.

00:28:52Goodbye.

00:28:53Goodbye.

00:28:54Goodbye.

00:28:55Goodbye.

00:28:57Goodbye.

00:28:58Bye-bye.

00:29:03Goodbye.

00:29:05When nobody meets your boy, you'll be dead.

00:29:29Clarissa!

00:29:30Pepper, don't look. Come with me.

00:29:33No, I didn't mean to.

00:29:35What do you mean?

00:29:36Oh, Clarissa, I didn't mean to.

00:29:38Pepper, it wasn't you.

00:29:40He's dead, isn't he? He's quite dead.

00:29:43Oh, I didn't mean to kill him. Oh, really, I didn't mean to.

00:29:46Of course you didn't.

00:29:48Now, listen to me.

00:29:51I want you to forget all about this.

00:29:54Everything is going to be all right.

00:29:56Now, first of all, you ought to go upstairs and get straight into bed.

00:30:01You come with me.

00:30:03As soon as possible. I promise.

00:30:06Thank you, heaven you got here. What's happened?

00:30:07Darling, you've got to help me.

00:30:08It looks like a bridge party.

00:30:09Oh, please, this is terribly serious.

00:30:10What are you up to?

00:30:11Will you help me?

00:30:12Of course, what's it all about?

00:30:13You are up to something, aren't you, Clarissa?

00:30:14What is it?

00:30:15You found a body.

00:30:16Yes, I have found a body.

00:30:17What?

00:30:18What?

00:30:19What do you mean, you found a body?

00:30:20It's what Jeremy said.

00:30:21I came down here and I found a body.

00:30:22Oh, really?

00:30:23No.

00:30:24No.

00:30:25No.

00:30:26No.

00:30:27No.

00:30:28No, no.

00:30:29No.

00:30:30No, no, no.

00:30:31No, no, no, no.

00:30:32No, no, no, no.

00:30:33No, no, no, no, no.

00:30:34No, no, no, no, no.

00:30:35No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:30:37Will you help me?

00:30:38Of course.

00:30:39What's it all about?

00:30:40You are up to something, aren't you, Clarissa?

00:30:41What is it?

00:30:42Have you found a body?

00:30:43Yes, I have found a body.

00:30:44What?

00:30:45What do you mean, you found a body?

00:30:46It's what Jeremy said.

00:30:47I came down here and I found a body.

00:30:49Oh, really?

00:30:50I'm serious.

00:30:51Look behind the sofa.

00:30:57It's Costello.

00:30:58My sainted aunt, she's right.

00:31:00We must hurry.

00:31:01There's so little time.

00:31:02Wait.

00:31:03We must get the facts clear.

00:31:04What happened?

00:31:05I came into this room and he was lying there like that.

00:31:09He's dead, all right.

00:31:13He's been hit over the head with something heavy and sharp.

00:31:16There's only one thing to be done.

00:31:18We must call the police at once.

00:31:19No, Rowley.

00:31:20Stop.

00:31:21You should have done it in the first place, my dear.

00:31:23You told me that you would help if ever I was in trouble.

00:31:26Yes, but how, Clarissa?

00:31:27What do you want us to do?

00:31:28Get rid of the body.

00:31:30Don't talk nonsense.

00:31:32This is murder.

00:31:33That's the whole point.

00:31:34I realized that we mustn't have the body in this house.

00:31:37So I started to drag it towards the recess.

00:31:40But, my dear Clarissa, you mustn't go moving dead bodies about.

00:31:43Oh, I was fully aware that I needed help.

00:31:46That's why I rang you.

00:31:47And while I was waiting, I made a plan.

00:31:50Including the bridge table?

00:31:52This is going to be our alibi.

00:31:55What on earth do you mean?

00:31:56Two and a half rubbers.

00:31:58I've imagined all the hands and I've written down the scores.

00:32:01Now you three must fill out these in your own handwriting.

00:32:04You're mad.

00:32:05Raving mad.

00:32:06I've worked it out beautifully.

00:32:08It's going to take two of you to carry the body.

00:32:11A dead body is most unmanageable.

00:32:13I found that out already.

00:32:14Just where do you expect us to take it?

00:32:16I think the best place would be Marsden Wood.

00:32:19You can park the car by the side of the road and walk back here.

00:32:23But this is monstrous.

00:32:25I'm a justice of the peace.

00:32:27You'll need some gloves.

00:32:29We mustn't risk you getting your fingerprints over anything.

00:32:32Darling, your natural talent for crime leaves me speechless.

00:32:36Why, Jo, she's got it beautifully worked out, hasn't she?

00:32:39Yes, she has, but it's nonsense all the same.

00:32:41We must hurry.

00:32:42Because Henry's due back here at nine o'clock with Mr. Jones.

00:32:45Mr. Jones? Who's here?

00:32:46I'd never realised how much explaining there was to be done in a murder.

00:32:50Jeremy.

00:32:51Well, I'm game, Clarissa.

00:32:52I mean, what's a dead body or two?

00:32:53Stop.

00:32:54I'm not going to allow this.

00:32:55Clarissa, you must be guided by me.

00:32:56There's Henry to consider, too.

00:32:58But Henry is the one I'm thinking of.

00:33:00He's gone to collect a very, very important person and bring them back here.

00:33:05And there's to be absolutely no publicity whatsoever.

00:33:09Mr. Jones?

00:33:10Silly name, I agree, but that's what they're calling him.

00:33:13Now, can you imagine the effect on Henry's career

00:33:16if he were to arrive and discover the police in charge of a murder,

00:33:20and the murder that of a man who has just married his former wife?

00:33:24Wait a minute.

00:33:26You're not making this up, are you?

00:33:28You never believe me when I tell the truth.

00:33:30I'm sorry.

00:33:31This is going to be a more difficult problem than I thought.

00:33:34And now do you see why we have to get the body out of here?

00:33:37Right.

00:33:38Do we take the car to the body or the body to the car?

00:33:40No, wait.

00:33:41We mustn't rush it like this.

00:33:43Clarissa, I'm not sure your plan is the best one.

00:33:45If we could delay finding the body until tomorrow morning

00:33:47by moving it to another room, for instance, then it might be excusable.

00:33:50Roley, this is urgent.

00:33:52Come in here.

00:33:54Now.

00:33:55Darling, I love you very much and always will, but in this case the answer is no.

00:34:07That man's body cannot be discovered in this house.

00:34:10If it is, we'll all be questioned and Pippa cannot stand up to it.

00:34:13Pippa?

00:34:14She'll break down and confess.

00:34:16Pippa?

00:34:17She didn't mean to do it.

00:34:18She got in a panic and struck out blindly with that stick.

00:34:21What stick?

00:34:22The one in the hall stand.

00:34:23It's in the recess now.

00:34:24I left it there.

00:34:25Where is she now?

00:34:26In bed.

00:34:27I'm going to take her to London tomorrow.

00:34:28I must get her away from here.

00:34:29All right, darling.

00:34:30You win.

00:34:31I apologize.

00:34:32That child must be protected at all costs.

00:34:33Come on.

00:34:34We're rolling.

00:34:35I'm converted.

00:34:36There's not a moment to lose.

00:34:37Get hold of those.

00:34:38How does this open?

00:34:39I'll do it.

00:34:40Pippa showed me.

00:34:41Oh.

00:34:42Oh.

00:34:43Oh.

00:34:44This is it.

00:34:45Heavy enough.

00:34:47Come on.

00:34:48Let's get the body.

00:34:49Right.

00:34:50Better cover it.

00:34:51Then we'll go.

00:34:52Yeah.

00:34:53All right.

00:34:54It's a big thing.

00:34:55Oh.

00:34:56We're rolling.

00:34:57I'm converted.

00:34:58There's not a moment to lose.

00:34:59Get a hold of those.

00:35:00How does this open?

00:35:01I'll do it.

00:35:02Pippa showed me.

00:35:03Oh.

00:35:04This is it.

00:35:05Heavy enough.

00:35:06Come on.

00:35:07Let's get the body.

00:35:08Right.

00:35:09Good.

00:35:10We'd better cover him with this.

00:35:13Right.

00:35:20Good luck.

00:35:31What?

00:35:32What the devil are they doing?

00:35:33We can't get him to the car now.

00:35:35Back in the house.

00:35:36We can't be just up under a bush somewhere.

00:35:38No, no, back into the house.

00:35:40The police.

00:35:43Yeah, don't we know it.

00:35:45Answer it.

00:35:46Keep talking.

00:35:47Delaying tactics.

00:35:48Give us time.

00:35:49Round the other way.

00:35:50Round the other way.

00:35:51That's it.

00:35:51Put him down.

00:35:52Feet.

00:35:54Feet down these legs.

00:35:55Come close the thing up.

00:35:56Come out and sit.

00:36:00Hide.

00:36:01Come sit down.

00:36:03Quick, quick.

00:36:05Your call, Hugo.

00:36:08Quick.

00:36:08You could have spared me that.

00:36:16What do I do with these?

00:36:18Come here, come here.

00:36:19Come and sit down.

00:36:21What are you playing at, Hugo?

00:36:23Guess what, darlings?

00:36:24The police.

00:36:27The police.

00:36:28Evening, gentlemen.

00:36:32Sorry to intrude, but we've had information that a murder's been committed here.

00:36:36What?

00:36:37Murder?

00:36:39Impossible.

00:36:40Isn't it extraordinary?

00:36:41Yes.

00:36:42We had a telephone call at the police station.

00:36:44Good evening, Mr. Birch.

00:36:46Good evening, Inspector Lord.

00:36:47How are you?

00:36:48Very well, thank you, sir.

00:36:49Inspector, I think somebody's been pulling your leg.

00:36:51Yes.

00:36:52We've been playing bridge all evening, haven't we?

00:36:55Yes.

00:36:55Who did you say was murdered?

00:36:57No names were mentioned, madam.

00:36:59The caller just said a man had been murdered at Copleston Court.

00:37:01What a wicked thing to do.

00:37:03Thank you, madam.

00:37:06You'd be surprised at some of the crazy things people do do.

00:37:09You're Miss Daniel Schoenbrough, sir.

00:37:11Me?

00:37:11No.

00:37:11Oh, no, this is Mr. Warrender.

00:37:13And this is Sir Roland Delahaye.

00:37:15How do you do, sir?

00:37:16I don't know.

00:37:17And your husband, madam?

00:37:18Oh, he's not here.

00:37:19He's going to be back very late.

00:37:21I see.

00:37:22Anyone else in the house?

00:37:23Just my 12-year-old stepdaughter.

00:37:25She's upstairs, fast asleep.

00:37:27Servants?

00:37:28It's their night out.

00:37:28They're in Maidstone.

00:37:30I see.

00:37:31Well, there's obviously been a misunderstanding.

00:37:33I'm sorry for troubling you, madam.

00:37:35But I'm sure you'll understand that when we get a telephone call of this nature,

00:37:38we have to investigate the matter.

00:37:41Isn't that right, Mr. Birch?

00:37:42Quite right, Inspector.

00:37:43Very commendable.

00:37:44Well, now, do come again.

00:37:46Just drop in any time you feel like it.

00:37:48Thank you, madam.

00:37:50Elgin.

00:37:52Now, Butler.

00:37:54Thought you were in Maidstone.

00:37:55We came home almost immediately, sir.

00:37:57Mrs. Elgin wasn't feeling very well.

00:37:59Is there anything the matter?

00:38:01Someone phoned the police station and said a murder had been committed here.

00:38:05A murder?

00:38:06Yes.

00:38:07Do you know anything about it?

00:38:08No, nothing at all, sir.

00:38:09Nothing.

00:38:10Wasn't you that made the call, was it?

00:38:11Certainly not, sir.

00:38:12You came in the back door, I suppose.

00:38:14Naturally, sir.

00:38:15Do you notice anything unusual?

00:38:17When I think of it, there's a strange car parked near the stable.

00:38:20I wondered who it belonged to.

00:38:21It seemed a funny place to leave it.

00:38:23Go and have a look at it, John.

00:38:24Well, go on.

00:38:33And you, too, but don't leave the house.

00:38:43Seems there's been a visitor here tonight who's unaccounted for.

00:38:45You weren't expecting anyone?

00:38:52Oh, no.

00:38:53Just the four of us for bridge.

00:38:55You haven't lived here very long, have you, Mrs. Elginbrown?

00:38:57About six weeks.

00:38:59And during that time, there's been no funny business of any sort?

00:39:02What do you mean by funny business, Inspector?

00:39:04Well, it's a curious story, sir.

00:39:06But this house used to belong to Mr. Sellon, the antique dealer.

00:39:09He died six months ago.

00:39:11Didn't he have an accident or something?

00:39:13That's right, madam.

00:39:13Fell downstairs, landed on his head.

00:39:16Accidental death they brought in.

00:39:17There was no evidence, of course, but rather a dark horse, this Mr. Sellon.

00:39:22What do you mean by that, Inspector?

00:39:24Well, once or twice he'd had a couple of things to explain, as you might say.

00:39:28And the narcotic squad came down and had a chat with him once.

00:39:31It was all only suspicion.

00:39:34Officially, that is to say.

00:39:35Oh, yes, sir. Officially.

00:39:37Whereas unofficially...

00:39:38I'm afraid we can't mention that, sir.

00:39:40But there was one rather curious circumstance.

00:39:44On Mr. Sellon's desk was an unfinished letter, in which he mentioned that he'd come into possession of something which he described as an unparalleled rarity, and which he would guarantee wasn't a forgery.

00:39:54He was asking £25,000 for it.

00:39:57£25,000? A lot of money?

00:39:58I wonder what it was.

00:40:00Jewelry, I suppose.

00:40:01But the word forgery...

00:40:02Well, a picture, perhaps.

00:40:06Possibly, sir.

00:40:07But there was nothing in the shop worth that much money.

00:40:09The insurance inventory made that clear.

00:40:11Oh, Mr. Sellon had a partner.

00:40:13A woman, you know, she had her own business in London.

00:40:16She wrote to us, but she couldn't give us any help.

00:40:19Inspector, why have you told us all of this?

00:40:22Well, because, Mrs. Hailsham-Brown, it occurred to me that whatever it was that had been hidden by Mr. Sellon may have been hidden here, and not in the shop at Maidstone.

00:40:32That's why I asked if anything peculiar had come to your notice.

00:40:35Well, somebody rang me today, and when I answered the phone, they hung up.

00:40:41I thought that was a bit odd.

00:40:42And then yesterday, a couple of men arrived, and they wanted to buy that desk.

00:40:48That one?

00:40:48Yes, I told them it wasn't ours, and we couldn't sell it, but they wouldn't listen.

00:40:52They offered the most terrific amount, much more than it's worth.

00:40:56Probably because of the secret drawer.

00:40:58Secret drawer?

00:41:00There's nothing very exciting in it, only just some old autographs.

00:41:04Yes, Jones?

00:41:04I'm examining the car, sir.

00:41:06Found these.

00:41:11Excuse me.

00:41:12May we use that room?

00:41:13Of course.

00:41:14Thank you, ma'am.

00:41:22Registration book in the name of Oliver Costello, Cromwell Mansions, London, Southwest 3.

00:41:27Ever heard of him?

00:41:28No, sir.

00:41:30Better check up on the files.

00:41:31Anything else?

00:41:32These are on the seat, sir.

00:41:34No other papers.

00:41:37Something weird going on in there.

00:41:39That bridge game.

00:41:40I don't like it.

00:41:40Come on.

00:41:43We'll tackle it again.

00:41:44Oh, it's no earthly good.

00:41:45He's bound to search the hut and look out.

00:41:55Has a man named Oliver Costello been here today?

00:41:58Yes, he came here about half past six, I think.

00:42:03Friend of yours?

00:42:04No, I wouldn't say that.

00:42:06I met him once or twice.

00:42:09As a matter of fact, I...

00:42:11Let me explain, Inspector.

00:42:12It concerns the first Mrs. Halsham-Brown.

00:42:14There was a divorce just over a year ago, and recently she married Mr. Oliver Costello.

00:42:19He came here this evening, why?

00:42:20By appointment?

00:42:22No.

00:42:22When my husband's first wife left him, she took one or two things from the house that didn't

00:42:30belong to her.

00:42:31And so, when Mr. Costello was in this part of the world, he decided to return them.

00:42:36What kind of things?

00:42:37Oh, nothing very important.

00:42:41Now, this was one, for instance.

00:42:43It belonged to my husband's mother, just a sentimental value.

00:42:47Did he mention where he was going when he left here?

00:42:50No.

00:42:51He went out through the French windows.

00:42:53As a matter of fact, my gardener, Miss Peake, offered to show him out through the garden.

00:42:57Your gardener calls himself Miss Peake?

00:43:00It's a lady gardener.

00:43:02Oh, yes, of course.

00:43:04I'd like to see Miss Peake, if I may.

00:43:06Of course, she lives in the cottage.

00:43:08Would you like me to ring her?

00:43:09Mm-mm-mm.

00:43:10I'll do, Carissa.

00:43:21Oh, my people's so impatient.

00:43:24Ah, there they are.

00:43:26Hello.

00:43:27Is that you, Miss Peake?

00:43:28Look, something odd's happened.

00:43:29Really?

00:43:30Would you come over?

00:43:31Well, yes, of course.

00:43:32I'll come over at once.

00:43:34Just something odd.

00:43:35Well, Miss Peake will come bounding along any moment now, Inspector.

00:43:39Thank you, Mr. Wylander.

00:43:41Now, I'd like to search the house, if I may.

00:43:45Yes.

00:43:46Well, you've seen this room.

00:43:48Nothing could possibly be hidden in here.

00:43:50Would you like to start with the library?

00:43:52Thank you, madam.

00:43:53You all right?

00:43:54Sir.

00:43:58Here we are.

00:43:59Nice room.

00:44:03See where that door leads to.

00:44:04Yes, sir.

00:44:07Through to the hall, sir.

00:44:09Time to go upstairs now for may.

00:44:11Certainly.

00:44:11They've all gone upstairs.

00:44:21What are we going to do now?

00:44:22I don't like it.

00:44:24We're getting in deep.

00:44:25Look here, we've got to own up before it's too late.

00:44:27No, no, no.

00:44:27We can't do that.

00:44:28That would mean letting Clarissa down very badly.

00:44:30Well, I don't like it.

00:44:31What do you say, Rowley?

00:44:33Personally, I'm committed to the enterprise.

00:44:36I don't understand.

00:44:37I'm afraid it must take it on trust.

00:44:39When the police don't find Costello's body in the house,

00:44:42they'll look somewhere else.

00:44:44Here, wait a minute.

00:44:45I've just had a brilliant idea.

00:44:47Brilliant.

00:44:47Why don't we whip the body outside while they're still upstairs?

00:44:50No, no, no, no.

00:44:50They'll be back in a minute.

00:44:51It's safer where it is.

00:44:54All the other rooms are empty, sir.

00:44:56All right.

00:44:57May we go in here?

00:44:58Is it necessary?

00:44:59It's the child's room.

00:45:00I'm afraid it is.

00:45:03Be very quiet.

00:45:07She looks like an angel.

00:45:17Yeah.

00:45:18Very sweet.

00:45:19Very sweet.

00:45:20Voodoo, witchcraft and plagues, magic spells of primitive tribes.

00:45:38Very nice indeed.

00:45:39I say, what's happened?

00:45:59Has there been a burglary or something?

00:46:01No, no, not there.

00:46:01As a matter of fact, the...

00:46:02Detective Inspector Lord.

00:46:08A detective?

00:46:09How exciting.

00:46:10I'm mad about crime.

00:46:12Oh, thank you.

00:46:13Good evening, Miss Peake.

00:46:14Delighted to meet you.

00:46:16Won't you sit down?

00:46:17Or stay standing, just as you like?

00:46:19All right.

00:46:20I think I'll remain upstanding.

00:46:22So will I.

00:46:24Miss Peake, a peculiar telephone call brought us out here this evening,

00:46:27and I think you may be able to help us.

00:46:28Well, I'm at your service.

00:46:30Oh, very mysterious.

00:46:31Now, what can I do for you?

00:46:32Well, it concerns a Mr. Oliver Costello of Cromwell Mansions, Chelsea.

00:46:37Never heard of him.

00:46:38But he was out here this evening visiting Mrs. Aylsham Brown.

00:46:41I understood you showed him out.

00:46:42Oh, that man!

00:46:43Oh, why didn't you say so before?

00:46:45Now, what do you want to know?

00:46:46I want to know exactly what happened and when you last saw him.

00:46:48Oh, yes.

00:46:49Now, I've got to think.

00:46:50Now, let me see.

00:46:50We were, uh...

00:46:52We were in here.

00:46:53Yes.

00:46:54Yes, and then we walked over here.

00:46:56Then, uh...

00:46:56Then we went out of the window,

00:46:58and then after that, I beg your pardon, I didn't see you there.

00:47:01And then...

00:47:02Then he went over to the stable to collect his car.

00:47:05And then?

00:47:06Then?

00:47:07Then.

00:47:07Then he drove away, I suppose.

00:47:09But he couldn't have done.

00:47:10This car's still there.

00:47:12Miss Peake,

00:47:13we had a telephone call at the police station at 7.49 this evening

00:47:16saying that a man had been murdered at Copleston Court.

00:47:18A man murdered here?

00:47:19Have you looked for the body, Inspector?

00:47:21The Inspector's already searched the house.

00:47:23Look, I'm sure the Elgin's are at the bottom of this.

00:47:26I saw light in that bedroom on my way here tonight.

00:47:28Make a note of that, Sergeant.

00:47:30Miss Peake, now...

00:47:30Don't talk, listen.

00:47:31Now, suppose, I only say suppose,

00:47:34Mr. Costello found out that Elgin was a man with a criminal record.

00:47:37He might have come back to warn Mrs. Halesham Brown.

00:47:41And Elgin killed him.

00:47:42And, of course, he'd have to hide the body.

00:47:43Now, where could he have hidden the body?

00:47:45Miss Peake,

00:47:46nobody has hidden anybody anywhere.

00:47:49Oh, you can't be sure about that.

00:47:50Now, where could a man like Elgin have hidden the body?

00:47:52Now, let me think, let me think.

00:47:54Of course, you've looked in that cupboard place

00:47:55between here and the library, naturally.

00:47:57The inspector has looked both in here and the library.

00:48:00Oh.

00:48:01What do you mean by that cupboard place, Miss Peake?

00:48:03Oh, it's a wonderful place to hide

00:48:05when you're in the house

00:48:06but you want to pretend to be out.

00:48:08I'll show it to you.

00:48:12There's nothing in there now.

00:48:13I know because I've just been through there into the library.

00:48:17Oh.

00:48:17In that case, we don't have to worry.

00:48:19No.

00:48:20I'd like to see it just a second.

00:48:21Would you certainly?

00:48:22Excuse me, Mum.

00:48:24Now, this, this used to be a little door originally

00:48:26and over here is a gadget

00:48:28which you just press

00:48:29and the door flies open.

00:48:32Very easy.

00:48:32You make the table?

00:48:51Come on.

00:48:51Oh, come on.

00:48:52Just a minute.

00:48:53It'll stop pushing me.

00:48:56It's heavier than she looks.

00:48:57It's all very well for you to talk.

00:48:59You've got the lighter end.

00:49:02All right.

00:49:03Send the medical officer over as soon as you can.

00:49:05What?

00:49:06Yes, send them as well.

00:49:07We want photographs.

00:49:08Everything in the lot.

00:49:10Bye.

00:49:18Well, Madam?

00:49:19Inspector,

00:49:20Mrs. Hilton Brown's had a nasty shock.

00:49:22She's in no condition to answer questions.

00:49:23No, I'm perfectly all right.

00:49:25If I could just have an aspirin,

00:49:27she won't run away, you know.

00:49:29All right, it's a comfort, sir.

00:49:31Very well, Madam,

00:49:32but please come right back.

00:49:36I'd like her another word with you, sir, please.

00:49:38All right.

00:49:41Well, we'd better get the body back in recess

00:49:43and close the panel.

00:49:44All right, sir.

00:49:51Oh, I'm so sorry.

00:49:53Are you quite all right?

00:49:54Yes, fine.

00:49:54Good.

00:49:54Is Miss Peake all right?

00:49:55Yes, she's still there.

00:49:57She's still out,

00:49:57but I think she'll live.

00:49:58That is, I'm afraid she will.

00:50:00I thought you were almost out.

00:50:01Well, I was,

00:50:02but I recuperate very quickly.

00:50:04Yes, I see.

00:50:05What exactly is happening now?

00:50:07Well, I'm worried to death.

00:50:08Henry may be back at any moment

00:50:10with Sir John

00:50:11and that important person.

00:50:12We've got to get the police out of the house.

00:50:14Well, it's a good idea,

00:50:15but I don't see how we're going to do that

00:50:16now they've found the body.

00:50:17Well, supposing you nip down to Miss Peake's cottage

00:50:21and he'll phone the inspector

00:50:23and tell him that he's got to get home immediately.

00:50:25That's a very good idea.

00:50:27Wait a minute.

00:50:28Why?

00:50:29Say his house is burning down.

00:50:31But he may live in a flat.

00:50:32No, no, I don't think it's a good idea at all.

00:50:35Well, say his wife's just been taken off to hospital.

00:50:38Hospital?

00:50:39Yes, now, who knows?

00:50:40Hey, where have you gone now?

00:50:41Well, I mean, his wife may be a nurse in the hospital.

00:50:44No, I think the best thing for us to do

00:50:46is to get together on a good story before we question her.

00:50:48Well, you don't think the inspector's

00:50:50going to allow that for a moment, do you?

00:50:54Oh, hello.

00:50:56Inspector Lord is waiting for you, madam.

00:50:59Oh, I was just inquiring about Miss Peake.

00:51:04Sir Roland, would you join Mr. Warrander in the library?

00:51:13I'd rather stay, if you don't mind.

00:51:15I'll send for you, if it should be necessary.

00:51:17As you wish.

00:51:20Please sit down, madam.

00:51:27Oh, thrown you out?

00:51:28Yes.

00:51:29Poor Clarissa.

00:51:31She's in there with the police.

00:51:33Well, heaven help them.

00:51:34Now, just a few simple questions.

00:51:38Very well, but I'm afraid I don't know anything at all.

00:51:41Did you know there was a body in that recess?

00:51:42Of course not.

00:51:43It's horrible, don't you think so?

00:51:45Quite.

00:51:46Now, when we searched this room,

00:51:47why didn't you draw my attention to the recess?

00:51:49Well, the idea never struck me.

00:51:50I mean, we never use it.

00:51:52The thought didn't come into my mind.

00:51:53But you said you'd just been through there,

00:51:55into the library.

00:51:56Oh, you misunderstood me.

00:51:57I meant that door.

00:52:00I certainly did misunderstand you.

00:52:02Now then, you'd no idea when Mr. Costello got to the house,

00:52:05or what he came for.

00:52:06I can't imagine.

00:52:07Is there anybody here he might have wanted to see?

00:52:10I don't know who.

00:52:11I mean, who is there?

00:52:13Mrs. Hailsham Brown,

00:52:14Mr. Costello came here.

00:52:16He was killed.

00:52:16His body was hidden in that recess,

00:52:18and nobody heard anything.

00:52:19It's quite extraordinary.

00:52:20Extraordinary.

00:52:21Fantastic.

00:52:22Fantastic.

00:52:22That's all for the moment, Mrs. Hailsham Brown.

00:52:27Not that way, please.

00:52:28But I'd really rather prefer to join the others.

00:52:30Later, later.

00:52:33Jones?

00:52:38And then we all came back from the club afterwards

00:52:40and decided to play bridge.

00:52:42Well, and then after that, we, of course, we decided...

00:52:43No, no, no, no.

00:52:44That's no good.

00:52:46Clarissa's already talking to the inspector.

00:52:48We can never hope to get together on a credible story now.

00:52:51All right, all right.

00:52:52Now, listen.

00:52:53Now, then.

00:52:54You went into Maidstone this evening and came back.

00:52:57Why?

00:52:58My stomach was acting up.

00:52:59That's why.

00:53:00You let Mr. Costello into the house when he came this evening, didn't you?

00:53:02Yes, sir.

00:53:03Ever seen Mr. Costello before?

00:53:04Never, sir.

00:53:06It wasn't because of Mr. Costello that you came back.

00:53:08I've told you, sir.

00:53:09My wife wasn't...

00:53:10When your stomach's acting up, you don't go to the pictures.

00:53:13Kindly allow your husband to answer my questions, Mrs. Elgin.

00:53:16Now, then.

00:53:18How long have you worked for Mrs. Hailsham Brown?

00:53:20Six weeks before that.

00:53:22I've been having a little rest.

00:53:24A little rest.

00:53:26Of course, you realise in cases like this that references will be gone into very carefully.

00:53:30Well, look, I wouldn't want to deceive you.

00:53:32There was nothing really wrong.

00:53:33It's just a case that the original references having got torn and I couldn't remember the exact wording.

00:53:40So you wrote your own.

00:53:41I didn't mean any harm.

00:53:42Why don't you ask that peak woman about her references?

00:53:45I'm not interested in fake references at the moment.

00:53:47I want to know what happened here tonight and what you know about Mr. Costello.

00:53:50I've never set eyes on him before.

00:53:52But I've got a good idea why he came here.

00:53:54Oh, why?

00:53:55Blackmail.

00:53:56He'd got something on her.

00:53:58Who?

00:53:58Mrs. Elgin Brown?

00:53:59Oh, Alfred.

00:54:00Tell him what you heard.

00:54:01All right, I will.

00:54:02Give us a chance.

00:54:03I'd come into the room to ask them if it was all right for me to go and I heard them.

00:54:08Well, what did you hear?

00:54:09Well, she said, uh, what a fool I've been.

00:54:13Of course, it's blackmail.

00:54:15Anything more?

00:54:17No, they stopped when I came in.

00:54:19All right.

00:54:19Stay here, both of you.

00:54:20I may need you later.

00:54:27Very unpleasant business, Mr. Birch.

00:54:31But with you being a justice of the peace and all that, sir, I'd like to know what you have to say about it.

00:54:37Nothing.

00:54:39Nothing, sir?

00:54:39Well, what do you expect me to say?

00:54:42The woman opened the cupboard and there was the corpse.

00:54:44Then you know nothing about it, sir.

00:54:46I've told you.

00:54:47I didn't kill him.

00:54:49I didn't even know him.

00:54:50You'd heard of him?

00:54:52Well, yes.

00:54:53And I'd heard he was a pretty nasty piece of work.

00:54:55In what way, sir?

00:54:56Oh, I don't know.

00:54:58The sort of man that women like and men of no use for.

00:55:00That sort of thing.

00:55:03Anything, sir?

00:55:05Anything between him and the present Mrs. Elgin Brown?

00:55:09Clarissa?

00:55:10Good heavens no, she wouldn't look twice at a man like that.

00:55:12So you can't help us at all, sir.

00:55:14Sorry, there it is.

00:55:16You've no idea why you should come back to this house a second time this evening?

00:55:19Not a clue.

00:55:20Or why the body was found in that recess?

00:55:22Well, of course not.

00:55:24Well, thank you, Mr. Birch.

00:55:26What?

00:55:27Thank you, sir.

00:55:28That's all.

00:55:29You've been a great help, Mr. Birch.

00:55:31Oh.

00:55:32Well, John, John, Mr. Birch.

00:55:34Not that way, sir, if you please.

00:55:36Through here, please.

00:55:37Nice to be the business, sir.

00:55:54And J.P. being mixed up in a murder?

00:55:56Hmm.

00:55:59It is.

00:56:01Delahaye.

00:56:02Sir Roland Edward Mark.

00:56:28Shall I get him now, sir?

00:56:30Him?

00:56:31Delahaye, sir.

00:56:33I will see Sir Roland Delahaye later.

00:56:37Fetch young Warrender.

00:56:38Yes, sir.

00:56:44Looking for somebody?

00:56:45Yes, sir.

00:56:46Mr. Warrender, please.

00:56:48Mm-hmm.

00:56:54That's the lot.

00:56:55Yes, sir.

00:56:59Oh, Mr. Warrender.

00:57:01Get to sit down?

00:57:02Thank you very much.

00:57:04Well, Inspector, everything going according to plan?

00:57:07Oh, reasonably well, thank you.

00:57:09Constable, now, sir, perhaps you'll be kind enough to give us your full name and address.

00:57:13Yes, of course.

00:57:13Jeremy Warrender, 344 Broad Street and 34 Grosvenor Square.

00:57:20Country Estate, Heppleston, Wiltshire.

00:57:24Gentlemen of Independent Maines.

00:57:26Well, hardly.

00:57:27I'm private secretary to Sir Lazarus Stein.

00:57:30At least those were his addresses.

00:57:31Oh.

00:57:33Did you know Oliver Costello, sir?

00:57:34Well, I'd heard of him, of course, Inspector, but never met him until tonight.

00:57:38You didn't see him when he came here earlier this evening?

00:57:40No, no, no, not until after he was, you know.

00:57:42Now, I'd gone to the club with the others.

00:57:44We were dining there.

00:57:45It was the servants' night out, and Mr. Birch asked us if we'd be his guests at the club.

00:57:51Was, uh, was Mrs. Elsham-Brown asked as well?

00:57:54No.

00:57:55No?

00:57:56Well, I mean, she could have come, of course, if she'd wanted to.

00:57:59Oh, I see.

00:58:00So, she was asked, but she refused.

00:58:02No, no, she didn't refuse.

00:58:03I don't think you've got the idea.

00:58:04The thing is, you see, her husband is rather late getting down here at night, and, well,

00:58:09in that case, they generally have a scratch meal at home.

00:58:12I see.

00:58:12So, Mrs. Elsham-Brown was expecting her husband to dine here tonight.

00:58:16Do you know if she was expecting him to go out again as soon as he came in?

00:58:19Now, look here, Inspector, I really don't know what she expects.

00:58:22It seems very odd to me that Mrs. Elsham-Brown should not go down to the club,

00:58:27instead of remaining here and dining all by herself.

00:58:30Well, you know, you are forgetting that there's the child, Pippa.

00:58:33I mean, she wouldn't want to leave her in the house by herself.

00:58:35Unless, of course, she was preparing to receive a visitor of her own.

00:58:40It's a very unpleasant thing to say, Inspector, and I'm quite sure it isn't true.

00:58:43Now, look, sir, Costello came here to meet someone.

00:58:47The servants are all out.

00:58:49Miss Peek has her own cottage.

00:58:50There really was no-one else he could have met except Mrs. Elsham-Brown.

00:58:54Was there?

00:58:55Hmm?

00:58:56What?

00:58:56Oh, well, I really don't know.

00:58:58Well, look, Inspector, all I can say is why not ask Mrs. Elsham-Brown?

00:59:01I have done, sir.

00:59:04Now, perhaps you'll tell me how you happened to come back here from the club.

00:59:07Was that the original plan?

00:59:08Yes.

00:59:09I mean, no.

00:59:10Which do you mean?

00:59:11Well, look, Inspector, it went like this.

00:59:12We all went to the club together.

00:59:14Rowley and Hugo went into dinner,

00:59:15and I went out and had a bit of practice on the putting green.

00:59:17Later, when I rejoined them,

00:59:19some had suggested bridge.

00:59:20I said, that's a splendid idea.

00:59:22Let's go back to the house and play.

00:59:23So we did.

00:59:24So it was your idea.

00:59:25I don't know whose idea it was.

00:59:26Hugo Purchase, I think.

00:59:28And you're right back here when, sir?

00:59:30I can't say exactly.

00:59:32I suppose we left the club shorter before eight.

00:59:34It's a five minutes walk.

00:59:35And you played bridge?

00:59:37Yes.

00:59:37It was about 20 minutes before my arrival.

00:59:41Sure, you didn't have time to play two rubbers

00:59:49and begin a third.

00:59:51Oh, no.

00:59:52No, that first rubber must have been yesterday's score.

00:59:54Yes.

00:59:55But only one person seems to have scored.

00:59:57Surely four people score in a bridge game.

01:00:00Yes.

01:00:00Yes, I realise that,

01:00:01but I'm afraid we were a bit lazy about it

01:00:03and left it to Clarissa.

01:00:09Did you know about the passageway

01:00:10between this room and the library?

01:00:11You mean the place where they found the body?

01:00:13Yes, that's what I mean.

01:00:13Oh, I had no idea.

01:00:15Absolutely fantastic bit of camouflage.

01:00:16I mean, you'd never guess, would you now?

01:00:18Oh, no, not in a thousand years.

01:00:20I mean, you couldn't know there was a body in there, could you?

01:00:22No, you could have knocked me over the feather,

01:00:23as the saying goes.

01:00:24I mean, absolute blood and thunder melodrama.

01:00:26I couldn't really believe my eyes.

01:00:29Are these your gloves, Mr. Wander?

01:00:31No.

01:00:32Oh, wait a minute.

01:00:33Yes.

01:00:34Oh, yes, yes.

01:00:34Yes, they're mine, Inspector.

01:00:35In fact, you wore them when you came back from the golf club.

01:00:38That's right, yes.

01:00:38There's a bit of a nip in the air, you know.

01:00:40I think you're mistaken.

01:00:41These have got Mr. Hailsham Brown's initials in them.

01:00:44Well, you know, I mean, I've got a pair just like that.

01:00:48These, perhaps?

01:00:48Oh, no, you don't catch me a second time.

01:00:50Not with that one.

01:00:50No, no, I mean, you keep on showing me pairs of gloves.

01:00:52I don't know one from the other now, do I?

01:00:53Three pairs of gloves and, yes, all with Mr. Hailsham Brown's initials in them.

01:00:58Curious.

01:00:59Very curious indeed.

01:01:01Thank you, Mr. Wander.

01:01:02That's all for now.

01:01:03I hope you're not suggesting that I...

01:01:05Suggestion what?

01:01:05No, no, no.

01:01:06Nothing, nothing, Inspector.

01:01:08Oh, excuse me, sir.

01:01:09What, sir?

01:01:09Please, sir.

01:01:10Oh.

01:01:10Well, sir, what do you make of that, then?

01:01:21Elementary, my dear Watson.

01:01:25Pass me the Ozole, Johns.

01:01:26Yes, sir.

01:01:28Ah, let's see.

01:01:29Stein, Stein, LMLP, LMLP, QR, S, S, S.

01:01:34Here we are.

01:01:35Stein, Sir Lazarus.

01:01:37Chairman, Saxon-Arabian Oil Company, Gulf Petroleum Company.

01:01:39Clubs, recreations, philately, stamp collecting.

01:01:45Golf fishing, address 340 Broad Street, 34 Grosvenor Square.

01:01:49That's it.

01:01:50What's that?

01:01:51It's a card, sir.

01:01:52I can see it's a card.

01:01:53Where'd you get it?

01:01:54Doesn't it, sir?

01:01:55Let's have a look.

01:01:57It's a space.

01:01:59Blue.

01:02:07That's it.

01:02:08Same pack.

01:02:09Come on, Johns.

01:02:10See if you can find it.

01:02:15No ace of spades there.

01:02:17Remarkable, Johns.

01:02:18Quite remarkable.

01:02:19Yes, sir.

01:02:20Remarkable.

01:02:21All right.

01:02:22Get Delahaye.

01:02:23Sir Roland Delahaye, sir?

01:02:25Yes.

01:02:26The inspector caught me on the bridge alley by all right.

01:02:30And he found the gloves, too.

01:02:31I'm afraid I made an awful mess of things.

01:02:33I knew it was all wrong, dammit.

01:02:35We're sinking lower and lower into the blinking quicksand.

01:02:38Now, I'd like to discuss the case with you, if I may, sir.

01:02:43How very agreeable of you, inspector.

01:02:46Thank you, sir, Roland.

01:02:48Now, you gentlemen were at the club eating a cold supper.

01:02:51That's right.

01:02:52And while we were at the table, Mrs. Hailsham Brown rang up to say that, as our husband was going out unexpectedly, it might be a good idea if the three of us came over here to make a four for bridge, which we did.

01:03:01And we'd been playing about twenty minutes or so when you turned up.

01:03:07The rest you know.

01:03:08Well, that's not quite Mr. Warner's account of the matter, sir.

01:03:11Oh, isn't it?

01:03:13What does he say, sir?

01:03:14Well, he said that the suggestion to come back here and play bridge came from one of you three.

01:03:18Mr. Birch, he thought.

01:03:19Well, inspector, you know as well as anybody that two people's account of the same thing seldom agrees.

01:03:25In fact, if three people were to agree exactly, I should regard it as suspicious.

01:03:31Very suspicious.

01:03:34Yes, yes, that's true, sir.

01:03:39Now, sir, I think that Mr. Costello came here to visit a particular person.

01:03:44That could have been anyone except Mr. Birch, who doesn't live here.

01:03:50You had, uh...

01:03:52You had no reason for wishing to murder him, had you, sir?

01:03:57Is that an accusation, inspector?

01:03:59Oh, no, no, sir, no.

01:04:01It's more, uh, more an elimination.

01:04:03Oh, I see.

01:04:05How well did you know Mr. Warner, sir?

01:04:07Oh, I met him here a couple of days ago.

01:04:09He's a friend of the Halsham Browns.

01:04:11Seems a decent love fellow.

01:04:12Well, so much for Mr. Warner.

01:04:15Which brings me to my next question.

01:04:17How well do I know the Halsham Browns?

01:04:19Mrs. Halsham Brown, Clarissa, is my ward for whom I have the deepest affection and admiration.

01:04:24I see, sir.

01:04:25Well, that answer makes certain things very clear.

01:04:27Oh, does it?

01:04:28Yes, sir.

01:04:29Why did you come back here and pretend to play bridge?

01:04:33Pretend?

01:04:34Yes, sir.

01:04:36This card was found under the sofa.

01:04:39Now, you couldn't have played bridge without the ace of spades, could you, sir?

01:04:42No.

01:04:44Not very well.

01:04:45And I also think that three pairs of Mr. Halsham Brown's gloves need some explanation.

01:04:51There, I'm afraid I can't help you.

01:04:53No, sir.

01:04:54Now, Mrs. Halsham Brown knew the body was in that recess.

01:04:58You may have hoped to put it there, I don't know.

01:05:01But I think Costello came here to see her to obtain money by threats.

01:05:05Threats of what?

01:05:06I don't know, sir.

01:05:07That'll come out later, no doubt.

01:05:09But Mrs. Halsham Brown is a gay, young and attractive lady.

01:05:12Costello was attractive to the ladies, so they say.

01:05:16Inspector, don't you think you're entirely on the wrong track?

01:05:19Why are you so certain Costello came here to see a person?

01:05:22Why couldn't it have been a place?

01:05:24What do you mean, sir?

01:05:25When you mentioned the late Mr. Sellon, you said the narcotic squad took a great interest in him.

01:05:30Isn't there a possible link there?

01:05:32Drugs, Sellon, Sellon's house?

01:05:35Costello has been here once before, I understand.

01:05:38Ostensibly to look at Sellon's antiques.

01:05:41Supposing Costello wanted something in this house.

01:05:45This desk, for instance.

01:05:50The desk?

01:05:52Somebody offered a ridiculous price for it.

01:05:53Supposing it was the desk Costello wanted to examine, or search, if you like.

01:05:57And supposing someone followed him here, and that someone struck him down.

01:06:00Your supposition being that this somebody put the body in the recess.

01:06:04Exactly.

01:06:06But it'd have to be someone that knew the secret place.

01:06:09Someone who knew the house in Sellon's time.

01:06:10Yes.

01:06:11No.

01:06:12No, sir.

01:06:13Nope.

01:06:14That doesn't explain why Mrs. Aylsham Brown tried to prevent us looking in there.

01:06:18She knew the body was in there.

01:06:19Will you allow me to speak to my ward?

01:06:24Yes, sir, but only in my presence.

01:06:28That'll do.

01:06:30Get Mrs. Aylsham Brown.

01:06:31Yes, sir.

01:06:34Well, how's Pippa?

01:06:35She's fast asleep.

01:06:36Where is everybody?

01:06:37Well, Miss Peake's in there.

01:06:39She's fast asleep, too.

01:06:40And Rola's in there.

01:06:41Still in there?

01:06:43Will Miss Aylsham Brown come in, please, Lord?

01:06:44Oh, what's he been up to?

01:06:51Darling, will you please tell the inspector the truth?

01:06:55The truth?

01:06:57It's the only thing to do.

01:07:02Now, madam, I'd like the true facts.

01:07:07Well, it was all very simple.

01:07:12First of all, Oliver Costello left,

01:07:14then Henry returned and left,

01:07:16then I came in here with the sandwiches.

01:07:18Sandwiches?

01:07:19Yes, you see,

01:07:20Henry is collecting a very important diplomat

01:07:23from abroad of Mr. Jones.

01:07:25Go on.

01:07:26Then I returned in here

01:07:27and practically fell over the body,

01:07:29recognised it as Oliver Costello

01:07:30and didn't know what to do.

01:07:31Didn't it occur to you to find the place?

01:07:33Yes, but I didn't think it would be very nice for Henry.

01:07:38I see.

01:07:39Well, I'm glad you understand

01:07:40because the body was absolutely dead.

01:07:42There was nothing I could do about it.

01:07:43And I thought it might as well be lying dead

01:07:45in Marsden Wood as in my drawing room.

01:07:48How does Marsden Wood come into this?

01:07:50Well, that was there

01:07:50where I was thinking of dumping it.

01:07:52Only there wasn't time.

01:07:53I see.

01:07:54So you persuaded the three men

01:07:55to hide it in recess.

01:07:57Yes, it was very helpful of them,

01:07:58don't you think?

01:07:59I don't believe a word of it.

01:08:00There's only one reason

01:08:02why those three men

01:08:02would agree to tell a lie.

01:08:04And what could that be?

01:08:05if they believed or knew

01:08:06that you'd killed him.

01:08:10Oh, very well.

01:08:13I shall tell you the truth.

01:08:15I think that would be wiser, madam.

01:08:16I went into the kitchen

01:08:20to make the sandwiches

01:08:21for Henry and Mr. Jones' return.

01:08:25And I thought I heard

01:08:26very strange noises.

01:08:28I was petrified.

01:08:30I walked back through the hall

01:08:31with my sandwiches

01:08:32and I really did hear something.

01:08:35Where?

01:08:35In here.

01:08:36Go on.

01:08:37So I went to the hall stand

01:08:38and I got that heavy stick

01:08:40and I took it with me

01:08:42into the library

01:08:43and got into the recess

01:08:44that side.

01:08:45So that you could see

01:08:46what was going on in here.

01:08:47Exactly.

01:08:48Then I pressed the button

01:08:50and there was a man

01:08:51standing

01:08:52holding something

01:08:54bright and shining.

01:08:55I thought it was a revolver.

01:08:56I thought he was going

01:08:57to shoot me.

01:08:58So I hit him

01:08:58with all my might.

01:09:01Is it all right?

01:09:04Yeah, fine.

01:09:05Come on.

01:09:05He fell.

01:09:07It was Oliver Costello.

01:09:09He was dead.

01:09:11I was so frightened

01:09:12and I rang the golf club.

01:09:14They came over

01:09:15and I begged them

01:09:16to take the body somewhere.

01:09:17But why?

01:09:18Publicity.

01:09:19My husband, his career.

01:09:21I would have gone through

01:09:22with it if it hadn't been

01:09:23someone we actually knew.

01:09:25And on top of that,

01:09:26Costello had been trying

01:09:27to blackmail you.

01:09:29Blackmail?

01:09:29Yes.

01:09:30Well, that's silly.

01:09:31But Elgin the butler

01:09:32overheard some talk

01:09:33about blackmail.

01:09:33Elgin?

01:09:34Yes.

01:09:35Oh, of course, yes.

01:09:37That was it.

01:09:38That was what?

01:09:39Well, you see,

01:09:39Oliver Costello

01:09:40heard that we were only paying

01:09:42ten guineas a week

01:09:43for this house furnished.

01:09:44And he said to me,

01:09:45well, you must have some pull

01:09:47or is it blackmail?

01:09:49And I said,

01:09:50that's it, blackmail.

01:09:51And that's what Elgin overheard.

01:09:55Mrs. Ocean Brown,

01:09:57I hope you won't mind

01:09:58my saying this,

01:09:58but I find it very difficult

01:10:00to believe that you're only

01:10:01paying ten guineas a week

01:10:02for Cobblestone Court.

01:10:03But then you don't believe

01:10:04anything I say.

01:10:06Now, I can't prove

01:10:07the other things,

01:10:08but I can prove this one.

01:10:10Here we are.

01:10:13Ten guineas a week

01:10:14furnished tenancy.

01:10:17You're absolutely right.

01:10:19But this is extraordinary

01:10:20because I knew the estate

01:10:21was asking 50 guineas a week

01:10:22before you took it over.

01:10:24Well, now,

01:10:24perhaps you'll believe

01:10:25some of the other things

01:10:26I've said.

01:10:27Oh, I'm not doubting

01:10:28your final story, madam.

01:10:30We generally recognise

01:10:31the truth when we hear it.

01:10:35Well, Inspector,

01:10:35everything all right?

01:10:36Rowley,

01:10:37I've told the inspector

01:10:39everything,

01:10:40how I hit the man

01:10:41on the top of the head,

01:10:42and when I realised

01:10:43it was Costello,

01:10:44I thought it'd be much

01:10:45cosier in Marsdenwood.

01:10:47Clarissa,

01:10:48what on earth

01:10:48have you been saying?

01:10:49Oh, it's all right, sir.

01:10:50Mrs. Ocean Brown

01:10:51made a very false statement.

01:10:53So it seems.

01:10:54It was the only thing to do.

01:10:56Now, Mrs. Ocean Brown,

01:10:57perhaps you'll show me

01:10:58exactly where the man

01:10:59was standing

01:10:59when you came through

01:11:00that way.

01:11:01Of course.

01:11:05Jones?

01:11:05Yes, I think

01:11:11he was standing

01:11:11about here.

01:11:12I see.

01:11:13All right, Jones.

01:11:14Then the panel

01:11:15went back.

01:11:17You came through.

01:11:19It's gone.

01:11:20Body.

01:11:21Body.

01:11:22Body's gone.

01:11:23Yes.

01:11:24What is this?

01:11:26April Fool.

01:11:29Jones!

01:11:30What's happened to the body?

01:11:35I don't know.

01:11:36Anyhow, it proves one thing.

01:11:37Costello opened

01:11:38this secret drawer.

01:11:40Why didn't you tell

01:11:41the inspector the truth?

01:11:41I did tell him the truth,

01:11:43all except the bit about Peppa.

01:11:44He didn't believe me.

01:11:45Then why did you

01:11:45stuff him up

01:11:46with all that nonsense?

01:11:46Because he believed that.

01:11:48You know, you're in a dickens

01:11:49of a jam.

01:11:50This could be manslaughter.

01:11:51Self-defense.

01:11:53This is the end

01:11:54of your pranks.

01:11:55I've had all I can take.

01:11:56I'm going to search

01:11:57house and grounds

01:11:57and tear the place apart.

01:11:59And when I find the body,

01:12:00I'm going to charge

01:12:01a whole lot of you

01:12:02with impeding

01:12:02the investigation

01:12:03of a murder.

01:12:03Well, Dr. Berry.

01:12:15Sorry I'm late.

01:12:17Well, where's the body?

01:12:20Well, there was a body,

01:12:21but it seems to have vanished.

01:12:24Do you mean to say

01:12:25you've brought me out

01:12:25here in a wild goose chase?

01:12:27Really, Inspector?

01:12:28There was a body.

01:12:30Wasn't there?

01:12:31Yes, sir.

01:12:32He didn't get jumpy.

01:12:33You know, I've been telling you

01:12:34you needed a rest.

01:12:35I do not need a rest.

01:12:37Now, look,

01:12:37there was a body

01:12:38and I saw it.

01:12:39Well, it doesn't seem

01:12:40to be here now.

01:12:41Best thing we can do

01:12:42is to go back to headquarters.

01:12:44There, I suppose so.

01:12:47Good night, Inspector.

01:12:48Good night.

01:12:51Go and search

01:12:52the kitchen quarters.

01:12:54And take this.

01:12:56Go on, get a move on.

01:12:57Yes, sir.

01:13:00Thank you, gentlemen.

01:13:02Don't worry.

01:13:03I'll find it.

01:13:12Excuse me.

01:13:13I'm going to lie down.

01:13:14Is it true?

01:13:15What?

01:13:15About the body.

01:13:16Yes, it's disappeared.

01:13:17Who took it?

01:13:17Don't ask me.

01:13:18Where's that peak woman?

01:13:19In the gun roof.

01:13:20Right.

01:13:20What are you doing up here?

01:13:30I'm just going to have a lie down.

01:13:32Well, I suggest you use this room.

01:13:34We still have more searching to do.

01:13:35I can't.

01:13:36That's Sir Rowland's room.

01:13:37Madam, if you don't mind.

01:13:39I can't.

01:14:04Oh, my God.

01:14:34The body. I found the body.

01:14:41What? Where?

01:14:42In your bed.

01:14:43In my bed?

01:14:44Yes. I thought it was such a good hiding place.

01:14:48You mean you put it there?

01:14:49Yes. Is the inspector livid?

01:14:52No, no. He's just having hysterics.

01:14:54Oh, God.

01:14:56Miss Peake, why did you take it?

01:14:59Because you've got to have a body before they can charge you with murder.

01:15:03But she didn't kill her.

01:15:04Well, if she didn't kill him, who did?

01:15:06And in the meantime, the body remains in my bed.

01:15:08Only for 24 hours.

01:15:10Oh, thank you very much.

01:15:11Now, you know, I've been doing a bit of thinking.

01:15:14I dug a deep trench for the sweet peas this morning.

01:15:18Look, we could bury the body in it and then plant the sweet peas on top.

01:15:23They should do very well.

01:15:25Yes, I think so.

01:15:26Now, the point is, who killed Costello?

01:15:34Clarissa?

01:15:36Peppa, why are you out of bed?

01:15:38Well, I heard men talking, so I thought I'd come down.

01:15:42Besides, I thought it might be true.

01:15:44What might be true?

01:15:45The horrible dream about Oliver.

01:15:47Oliver?

01:15:48What dream about Oliver?

01:15:50Tell me.

01:15:52Well, I made this tonight.

01:15:54I melted down a wax candle.

01:15:56I stuck a red-hot pin through it.

01:15:58I said the right words and everything.

01:16:00But I couldn't do it quite as the book said.

01:16:02The book?

01:16:03She showed it to me earlier, Clarissa.

01:16:05Something she'd bought at the second-hand bookstore.

01:16:07Called it a recipe book, I believe.

01:16:09That's right.

01:16:10It gives a hundred well-tried and trusty spells.

01:16:14And tells you how to destroy your enemy.

01:16:16Is that what you did?

01:16:18Yes.

01:16:20It wasn't very like Oliver.

01:16:21I couldn't get any cuttings of his hair.

01:16:24But it was as like him as I could make it.

01:16:26And then, I dreamed.

01:16:30Thought I came downstairs.

01:16:31He was there.

01:16:34Is it true?

01:16:35Did I kill him?

01:16:36No, darling.

01:16:37No.

01:16:38But I came down.

01:16:39I came downstairs and I saw him dead.

01:16:40Yes, dear.

01:16:41But you didn't kill him.

01:16:43Somebody hit him over the head with a big stick.

01:16:44You mean a gold club like Jeremy had?

01:16:47No, no, Pippa.

01:16:48Not a golf club.

01:16:49He means the big stick that's kept in the hall stand.

01:16:51Oh, no.

01:16:52I didn't do that.

01:16:53I couldn't.

01:16:54I wouldn't have killed him, really.

01:16:56Of course not, darling.

01:16:58What a fool I've been.

01:17:00I should have realized it was impossible.

01:17:03But Pippa told me she'd killed Oliver and I thought it was true.

01:17:06You mean you thought it was Pippa?

01:17:08Yes, darling, yes.

01:17:09I see.

01:17:10That explains a lot, doesn't it?

01:17:11Yes.

01:17:13Now I understand why you agreed to help her, Rowley.

01:17:15But hadn't we better tell the police about this latest development?

01:17:18I don't know.

01:17:18She's told the police three stories already.

01:17:22Well, I feel like a cuppa.

01:17:24So do I.

01:17:25Join me?

01:17:25Thanks.

01:17:26I don't mind if I do.

01:17:27I'm parched.

01:17:29After you?

01:17:29No, after you.

01:17:32Oh, well, just as you like.

01:17:34Well, darling, it's time you went back to bed.

01:17:37I'll take you up there.

01:17:38Come on.

01:17:38Well, Clarissa?

01:17:46I'm so relieved I can hardly speak.

01:17:49But who was the real murderer?

01:17:51Oh, heaven knows.

01:17:53I should leave that one to the police.

01:17:54But who phoned the police?

01:17:56Probably one of Costello's cronies.

01:17:58Why did Costello search the desk?

01:18:01And what about Miss Pippe?

01:18:02Why did she really move the body?

01:18:05She probably wanted the exercise.

01:18:06Do you think she was trying to help me?

01:18:10And what is a woman like that doing as a gardener here?

01:18:14The way she fusses about this house,

01:18:16anybody would think she owned it.

01:18:19I've got an idea.

01:18:20What?

01:18:21What was the name of Mr. Sellin's antique shop?

01:18:24Wait a minute.

01:18:26No, I can't remember.

01:18:28Broly might know.

01:18:29Come on.

01:18:29Yes.

01:18:30Broly.

01:18:32What was the name of Sellin's antique shop?

01:18:34Oh, it had a double name.

01:18:36Sellin, Sellin, Sellin and Brown.

01:18:38That's it.

01:18:39Sellin and Brown.

01:18:40And our name is Hailsham Brown.

01:18:42And we got this place dirt cheap.

01:18:43Follow me?

01:18:45No.

01:18:45No, I'm lost.

01:18:47Well, Sellin's partner is a woman and she lives in London.

01:18:49Today we had a telephone call.

01:18:51Somebody asking to speak to a Mrs. Brown.

01:18:54Not a Mrs. Hailsham Brown.

01:18:55Just a Mrs. Brown.

01:18:57Today, somebody murdered Oliver.

01:18:59Now, it wasn't Henry and it wasn't Hugo and it wasn't any of us and it wasn't Pippa, thank heaven.

01:19:04Who was it?

01:19:05It's as I told the inspector.

01:19:06It's an outside job.

01:19:08Somebody followed Oliver here.

01:19:11Why should they?

01:19:12He didn't expect to see me here.

01:19:14He thought this house belonged to somebody else.

01:19:17He was expecting to meet Mrs. Brown, Sellin's partner.

01:19:21But wouldn't he know that you and Henry had the house?

01:19:23Wouldn't Miranda know?

01:19:25Miranda communicates through her lawyers.

01:19:26No.

01:19:27Oliver was surprised to see me.

01:19:29That's why he made the excuse about Pippa.

01:19:31Then he pretended to go away, but he came back.

01:19:36Peake's Cottage.

01:19:38Peake's Cottage.

01:19:39And what precisely are you doing?

01:19:54I'm looking for something.

01:19:55Oh, no, no, no.

01:19:56You could be arrested for that, you know.

01:19:58It's not half as bad as being a murderer.

01:19:59A murderer?

01:20:00Look, let's get out of here quickly, shall we?

01:20:02It's all right.

01:20:03I found it.

01:20:05Found what?

01:20:06I'm sorry, Miss Peake, but I had to know.

01:20:09Had to know.

01:20:10Your real name, and now I know it.

01:20:13Correspondence in the name of Brown.

01:20:15You're Mrs. Brown, aren't you?

01:20:18Yes, I'm Mrs. Brown.

01:20:21Sellin's partner.

01:20:22And you own Copleston Court?

01:20:24You inherited it with the business.

01:20:27You tried to find a tenant with the name of Brown,

01:20:30but you settled for Hailsham Brown.

01:20:33True?

01:20:35Yes.

01:20:37Quite true.

01:20:39Look.

01:20:41Charles Sellin was murdered.

01:20:43He discovered something very valuable.

01:20:44I don't know how.

01:20:45I don't even know what.

01:20:47Whoever killed him found nothing.

01:20:50Probably because it wasn't in the shop.

01:20:52It was here at Copleston Court.

01:20:55I felt sure the murderer would return sooner or later.

01:21:00So I wanted to keep watch.

01:21:02But to do that, I had to have a dummy Mrs. Brown.

01:21:07It didn't worry you that a perfectly innocent woman, Mrs. Hailsham Brown, would be in danger.

01:21:12I'm sorry, I never thought of that.

01:21:13But yesterday, when those men came and offered that ridiculous price for that desk,

01:21:17I knew I was on the right track.

01:21:19But I swear there's nothing of value in that desk.

01:21:24Did you examine the secret drawer?

01:21:26Secret drawer?

01:21:27No.

01:21:28Why, is there one?

01:21:29Pepper found one, but there was nothing in it, just a few old autographs.

01:21:32Clarissa, I'd rather like to see those autographs again.

01:21:36I suggest we go back to the house at once.

01:21:38Go on!

01:21:38Oh, yes!

01:21:39What do you mean, the woman's real name is Brown?

01:21:44I'll tell you later.

01:21:46Clarissa, where are those autographs?

01:21:48In that box, the shell one.

01:21:49Oh, yes.

01:21:52Ah, thank you, Ira.

01:21:54Thanks.

01:21:56Now then, let's have a look.

01:21:58Victoria Regina, God bless her.

01:22:00Faded brown ink, John Ruskin.

01:22:03Seems authentic.

01:22:05Robert Browning, the paper's not as old as it ought to be.

01:22:07What do you mean?

01:22:08During the war, I was in the Foreign Office, and I had some experience with invisible ink.

01:22:13But what could Charles Sellin have written in invisible ink that's worth 25,000 pounds?

01:22:18Nothing at all, dear lady.

01:22:19But it's occurred to me it might be a question of safety.

01:22:22Safety?

01:22:23Costello was suspected of supplying drugs.

01:22:26Sellin, so the inspector tells us, was questioned several times by the narcotic squad.

01:22:30There's a connection there, don't you think?

01:22:32Of course, it may be just a foolish fancy of mine, but it occurs to me that Sellin may have written something on this paper.

01:22:38In invisible ink.

01:22:41Shall we try a little experiment?

01:22:43How?

01:22:44Just a little gentle heat.

01:22:47Let's go into the kitchen.

01:22:47I can't bear it if nothing happens.

01:22:52Oh, you mustn't expect too much.

01:22:55Hello?

01:22:57Hello?

01:22:57Here we are.

01:22:59Yes, it's writing.

01:23:00We've got it.

01:23:03What is it?

01:23:04A list of one, two, three, four, five, six names and addresses.

01:23:09Distributors in the drug racket, I should say.

01:23:11And one of the names is Oliver Costello.

01:23:15That's why he came here to get this.

01:23:17And somebody must have followed him.

01:23:18And killed him.

01:23:20Extraordinary.

01:23:22What do you think about it, Jeremy?

01:23:23Well, I don't really know what to say, Rowley.

01:23:26It seems a little...

01:23:26Inspector Lord would like to see you all again in the drawing room, please.

01:23:29With pleasure.

01:23:31Excuse me.

01:23:32Thank you all.

01:23:33If you'd like to wait here a moment, the inspector won't keep you long.

01:24:03Oh, I wouldn't advise you to call out.

01:24:16It might be dangerous.

01:24:21Do you know that never in all my supposings did I dream that you were the murderer?

01:24:27Didn't you, Clarissa?

01:24:28You came back from the club and killed Oliver Costello.

01:24:31Well, Pippa was right.

01:24:33She actually saw you carrying the stick.

01:24:36Only it wasn't your golf stick.

01:24:37Be quiet.

01:24:38Come away from the door.

01:24:39Lift.

01:24:40No, you're quite right.

01:24:42It wasn't my golf club.

01:24:45Why did you do it, Jeremy?

01:24:47Because of this.

01:24:49An envelope?

01:24:50Yes, yes.

01:24:51But the stamp on it is worth £25,000.

01:24:55Here.

01:24:56Where's Jeremy?

01:24:56And Clarissa?

01:24:58There.

01:24:58Do you think you'll get away with it?

01:25:02Yes, of course I will.

01:25:18The murderer!

01:25:18What?

01:25:19Get the inspector!

01:25:19What?

01:25:20Jeremy!

01:25:21Yes, sir!

01:25:21Wait a minute.

01:25:22Let's go.

01:25:23Take a right window.

01:25:28Yes, sir.

01:25:29Yes, sir.

01:25:30Darlings, you've all been a wonderful help today,

01:25:57but don't you think we should go to bed now?

01:26:00I'm all set for the night.

01:26:02Whoopee!

01:26:03Yes, of course.

01:26:04Come on, Hugo, give us a song.

01:26:06That's enough.

01:26:08Theresa!

01:26:09It's Henry and the PIVs.

01:26:11You mean the VIPs.

01:26:13What the devil are you all doing here?

01:26:17We are pulling ourselves together.

01:26:19Darling, Miss Peake just popped in to discuss her vegetables.

01:26:25No, she did, did she?

01:26:26Where are they?

01:26:27They're in the garden.

01:26:27I came ahead.

01:26:28They're following with an escort of motorcycle police.

01:26:34We're surrounded.

01:26:37I know.

01:26:38Quick, everyone, into one of the bedrooms.

01:26:40Come on, Hugo.

01:26:41And Clarissa, get those bottles cleared.

01:26:42And get the ashtrays cleaned.

01:26:43May I take your coat, sir?

01:26:44It's no good.

01:26:45Oh, it's no good.

01:26:46What a pity.

01:26:47Elgin's letting them in.

01:26:48I'm done for.

01:26:49Clarissa.

01:26:50Henry!

01:26:51Henry!

01:26:52Henry!

01:26:53I'm terribly sorry.

01:26:54Really.

01:26:55It's not my fault.

01:26:56There was a murder and the police were here.

01:26:57Clarissa, listen to me.

01:26:58Supposing you were in a room with four people who had no business to be there, what do you

01:27:00suppose you do?

01:27:01Well, I'd, um, I'd open up the hidden panel and then I'd hide them all in the recess.

01:27:08Oh, for heaven's sake, Clarissa.

01:27:09Can't you think of anything better than that?

01:27:10There you are, really.

01:27:11I...

01:27:12What's happened?

01:27:13Where is everyone?

01:27:14Now, do you see, darling?

01:27:15There is a secret panel and it was quite true about the murder.

01:27:17Although you don't believe me, do you?

01:27:18Good luck.

01:27:19Good luck.

01:27:20Good luck.

01:27:21Good luck.

01:27:22Good luck.

01:27:23Good luck.

01:27:24Good luck.

01:27:25Good luck.

01:27:26Good luck.

01:27:27Good luck.

01:27:28Good luck.

01:27:29Good luck.

01:27:30Good luck.

01:27:31Good luck.

01:27:32Good luck.

01:27:33Good luck.

01:27:34Good luck.

01:27:35Good luck.

01:27:36You don't believe me, do you?

01:27:37You don't believe me, do you?

01:27:38Good luck.

01:27:39Good gracious.

01:27:40I mean, good luck.

01:27:41No, I don't.

01:27:42I mean, thank you, darling.

01:27:49I wonder why it is that nobody ever believes me.

01:28:06I know.

01:28:07You let me review me.

01:28:08I know you don't believe me.

01:28:12I know you do know me.

01:28:13It'sенко.

01:28:17There's a Jason E Info.

01:28:18I'll find you more.

01:28:21I'll find a false sign of the truth in the word of the slew.
