00:00The
00:30My friend, the late Ian Fleming, the James Bond man,
00:36was really responsible for the story you're going to see now.
00:40We were staying the weekend at a house in Vermont,
00:43and at dinner, the roast leg of lamb was so dry and tough
00:46that Ian looked across to me and whispered,
00:48this ruddy thing must have been under deep freeze for ten years.
00:52She ought to be shot.
00:54No, I said, not shot.
00:56I think there must be a more interesting punishment than that.
01:00And that's how the idea for this story began.
01:30Corner shop, darling, before it closed,
01:34Mr. Samuels had some lovely fresh broccoli.
01:38Oh, and your favourite, cheesecake.

04:54Sam.
04:55Sam.
04:56Sam.
04:57Sam.
04:58I...
04:59I'd gone to the corner shop to Sam.
05:04Oh.
05:05We always ate out on a Thursday, but actually wanted to stay in.
05:13I left the door on the ledge.
05:16Yes.
05:17I...
05:18I...
05:19I...
05:20I...
05:21I...
05:22I...
05:23I...
05:24I...
05:25I think we're jumping ahead.
05:26Now, from the beginning, if you can, ma'am.
05:28I knew where Patrick came home.
05:35That's it.
05:36Yes.
05:37Good girl.
05:38Yeah.
05:39Sure.
05:40There was.
05:41About a quarter past five.
05:44Patrick came home early.
05:45Forwards.
05:47Patrick came home early.
05:59For what?
06:04Hello?
06:06Patrick.
06:09Darling.
06:10How lovely to have you home so early.
06:13Are you tired?
06:15Hmm.
06:17How are you?
06:20We are fine.
06:24I'll get your drink. It's all ready.
06:29Guess what?
06:32He kicked again today.
06:35Did he?
06:37Perhaps he'll be a footballer.
06:44Soda?
06:44No, as it comes.
06:49Neat.
06:50Why not?
06:51My poor darling.
07:03They do work you so hard, don't they?
07:05What happened today?
07:07Oh, pretty much as usual.
07:10One extortion with menaces, two grievous bodily harms, a body in the river we're treating as a murder.
07:15Half of the course.
07:21Sounds absolutely dreadful to me.
07:23Well, people are dreadful.
07:27Some of them.
07:29Haven't you got a drink?
07:30Well, baby.
07:35Baby.
07:38Ah.
07:39Sensible.
07:39Well, I won't chatter on at you.
08:09Not if you're tired.
08:12No, it's all right.
08:15Well, I'll tell you what.
08:16Shall I get you something to eat?
08:17Some cheese and crackers.
08:19Only haven't made supper.
08:21It's Thursday.
08:23Oh, don't you want to go out?
08:25No, I don't.
08:26I couldn't face Chinese.
08:30Well, that's all right.
08:32I have plenty of things in the freezer and the corner shop still...
08:34I told you, I'm not hungry.
08:37Well, maybe now, but you might be later, darling.
08:40Eh?
08:41It's all in the freezer.
08:46You and your new freezer.
08:49Well, it is marvellous.
08:52I'd just have to go and get some vegetables.
08:55What would you like?
08:57Beef, pork or lamb.
09:01And you have to get it soon.
09:04Give it time to cook.
09:07Yes.
09:08So there was nothing about Pat's manner that was unusual?
09:17No.
09:18No, not really.
09:21Said he was over-tired.
09:26Didn't want to go out.
09:29I said that, didn't I?
09:34The doctor wants a word, Jack.
09:37I won't be a minute.
09:39Hold on.
09:40You're doing fine.
09:42The doctor says death was any time between hour past five and six.
09:45Fingerprints!
09:46Just his and hers so far.
09:50You'd better start looking for something heavy.
09:52Just a single blow to the back of the head.
09:54You can't be expecting it.
09:55Neat.
09:56What?
09:57Full!
09:58The soda!
09:59Skinnyte.
10:00What sort of weapon?
10:02Metal?
10:03Could be.
10:04Something with a handle to it to give it momentum on the swing.
10:08Oh, come on!
10:09Start looking!
10:10They lads already have.
10:12What are you takers for?
10:13us for. Of course. Sorry. It's a bit of an upset being Pat, you know, Pat of all
10:26people. No evidence of a fight hit from behind. The back of his skull looks like
10:32a... You want to see for yourself? It's all right, Doctor. I take your word for it.
10:36Harry, check the corner shop at Samuels. It's a deli. You can't miss it. Will do.
10:43You think it's an inside job? No telling yet. Find the weapon. Sure, you'll find the man.
10:47That's right, Doctor.
10:50Shall I get your lunch? Sit down.
11:04What is it, Patrick? Do you want to go out, darling, after all? No.
11:10I'd better go and get something to eat. Sit down. I don't want anything.
11:12You must eat, darling. Oh, listen, will you? I'm listening. What? What?
11:28I've got something I must tell you.
11:33What is it? Oh, Patrick. It's only fair. I mean, in all fairness, I've got to tell you,
11:45right? I don't know, do I, darling, if you don't have... She's called Barbara. It isn't
11:50a sudden thing. Well, four months. We've been seeing each other for four months. The fact
11:58is it's just one of those things, you know, the real, real thing. Sit down!
12:07I've wrapped my brains about telling you, I mean. But I've got to be fair.
12:17Even though it is a bad time with the, uh, you know.
12:23I have tried not seeing her, but...
12:32Well, I'll look after you, of course. You and the child, you won't want for anything,
12:36that's a promise.
12:41I'm not proud of myself.
12:44And I am sorry.
12:48Very. Yes.
12:49I want you to believe that.
12:58And as far as I can see, there needn't really be any fuss, because, well, let's face it,
13:01it wouldn't do me any good in my job, would it?
13:06Well, that is vital for all of us.
13:08And you're not to blame Barbara.
13:16It's not her fault.
13:30Well, I've got a mic, son.
13:46I told you I'm not hungry.
14:56I will wake up soon.
15:13You did say lamb, didn't you?
15:22I told you I don't want anything.
15:23I'm going out.
15:24No.
15:30No.
15:32You mustn't.
15:33I'm just going to the corner shop, darling.
15:54Evening, Sam.
16:01Evening, Sam.
16:03We've decided to eat in tonight.
16:24I'm sorry about that, Mary.
16:40I'm sorry about that, Mary.
16:52I'm sorry I had to leave you.
16:54What are you doing?
16:59I thought...
17:01Potatoes?
17:02Yes.
17:04To go with the lamb.
17:05Mary?
17:06There.
17:08There's no need.
17:11There.
17:16That's it.
17:19Come up.
17:20Come and sit down.
17:21That's the girl.
17:24Go on.
17:25There you are.
17:30I'm sorry.
17:31You just got a bit confused, that's all.
17:33Now, you were just about to go to the shop, right?
17:37How did Mrs. Marnie seem to you?
17:39Oh, beautiful.
17:43Well, very nice.
17:44It's always a pleasure to serve Mrs. Marnie.
17:49Oh, now, come on.
17:50You can't book me for that.
17:52Can you?
17:53I closed, yeah, but I opened up special sinners out with her.
17:56Oh, hang on, Mrs. Marnie, show me a minute.
18:11I'm sorry, it's a troubling sound.
18:12I know you're closed.
18:13All right, Mrs. Marnie.
18:15I was just tired enough.
18:16It's really some time.
18:17How are you today?
18:18I'm absolutely fine, thank you.
18:19I was afraid I might have missed you.
18:21I need some potatoes.
18:23And that broccoli looks rather nice.
18:24Oh, yes, beautiful there.
18:26A pound?
18:26Yes, please.
18:30Patrick and I have decided to eat in tonight.
18:32Ah, local villains give him the evening off, have they?
18:35Yes.
18:36Here.
18:37I thought you always had Chinese on a Thursday.
18:41For use of your text.
18:47Now, you said you wanted some potatoes?
18:49Two pounds?
18:51Mm.
18:51We do normally eat out on Thursday, you're right.
18:57But we decide to stay in more cosy.
19:00Yeah.
19:01What are you giving them?
19:03Roast lamb.
19:04Yeah.
19:04Actually, I took it straight from the freezer.
19:08Do you think that'll be all right?
19:09Well, I don't think it never makes no difference, you know.
19:12Some people do for it, but me, well.
19:15Now, for afters.
19:17Ice cream, I thought.
19:18Oh, no, no, no, no.
19:20Hold on a minute.
19:20Hang about.
19:21Get this.
19:23Cheesecake with currants.
19:25Now, I know your old man likes cheesecake because he told me so himself, and this one
19:28is fresh in today.
19:30Absolute knockout.
19:31Lovely.
19:35Perfect.
19:41Well, their stories agree, their timings agree.
19:47The killer must have been watching the house, then.
19:50Anything from the neighbours?
19:52Not so far.
19:55You don't think it could have been a woman, do you?
19:59I don't think anything yet.
20:01Why?
20:02Well, Pat.
20:04What?
20:06Well, he was a bit of a boy sometimes, the ladies.
20:09Nah.
20:14No!
20:14You mustn't take him away!
20:16It's all right, keep going, Mary, stop it!
20:17No, you're not!
20:18He's got to go, Mary, he's got to go, stop it!
20:20Mary, stop it, come on.
20:22Come on, Mary, stop it, stop it.
20:23Oh, no, I don't!
20:23Mary!
20:24Oh, stop it, stop it.
20:25Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
20:28No, no.
20:29Mary, perhaps you'd like to go somewhere else, to your sisters, or to my house.
20:35I mean, Jean will take care of you.
20:36You could stay the night.
20:38Well, lie down then, when we've finished upstairs.
20:40Dad, is it going to stay much longer?
20:48It really could take a while, yes.
20:49I mean, it's obvious that someone came in while you were out.
20:52I left the door and it was me.
20:54Not me!
20:55It wasn't me!
20:56You mustn't blame yourself.
20:58I mean, policemen are bound to make enemies.
21:00We all of us do.
21:01Now, when we find the weapon, it's the old story.
21:03We've got the man.
21:06Well, bring Patrick back.
21:07Now, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, in here.
21:10Come on, have a drink, come on.
21:13Won't you, won't you have one, Jack?
21:15Me?
21:16I'm on duty.
21:19I'm sure Patrick wouldn't have minded.
21:23Not under the circumstances.
21:25He would.
21:25Well, maybe, Anna.
21:31I'll just have a little one.
21:40Oh, Lord.
21:43The lamb.
21:45I've forgotten her.
21:46The lamb.
21:47What time is it?
21:48Oh, it's half past nine.
21:50The meal.
21:51I was cooking the meal.
21:53It's all right.
21:55I'll switch it off.
21:56Would you?
21:57Jack.
21:58You couldn't eat a bit of it, could you?
22:02I mean, I couldn't not a bite.
22:05Well.
22:06Oh, please.
22:08And the others.
22:10I mean, you've not had time for supper.
22:12You said it's going to be a while yet.
22:15Oh, please.
22:17Oh.
22:19Looks lovely.
22:20Very nice, Sarge.
22:21Very tasty.
22:23Decent-sized leg.
22:25You're a dab-handed car, isn't Jack?
22:28My old man, he used to be a butcher.
22:31Very nice.
22:32Done to a turn.
22:33Just what a doctor ordered me.
22:36The doc said his skull was smashed to bits.
22:41Sledgehammer?
22:42Some kind of metal vass?
22:44It's just pretty good.
22:45It's a matter of looking.
22:47Find the weapon, find the man.
22:49Who's put it in for promotion, eh?
22:50Uh, excuse me.
22:53You see, if you ask me, I still think it's here.
22:55The weapon.
22:57Big car wrench.
22:58You mean the attacker wouldn't carry it with him, would he?
23:00No.
23:01Well, more?
23:02We better not finish it, are we?
23:04Go on.
23:04She wants us to finish it.
23:06She said so.
23:07I wouldn't say no.
23:08We're doing her a favour.
23:10I do think so.
23:11All right.
23:11All right, then.
23:19Back to work.
23:21Right.
23:22You know what I'm doing?
