ARE YOU QUITE SURE YOU WOULDN'T
RATHER HAVE THEM DELIVERED,

MRS. WHEELER?

NO, THAT'S FINE--THANK YOU,
I'LL CARRY THEM.

THEN I'LL CHARGE THEM
TO YOUR ACCOUNT.

PERFECT.

GOOD DAY,
MRS. WHEELER.

BYE-BYE.

HELLO!

UN MOMENTO.

OH, MRS. WHEELER!
GIVE ME.

GIVE ME.

THANK YOU, DOLORES.

HAS, UH, MRS. COOKE COME
BACK YET?

YEAH, SHE'S UPSTAIRS,
YOU WANT ME TO CALL HER?

NO, NO. I'LL PUT THESE
IN THE GARDEN FIRST.

YOU PLANT YOU SELF?

MM-HM.

WELL, DON'T.

WAIT AND LET
MR. WHEELER PLANT.

MM, THAT SMELLS GOOD.

MUST BE FOR YOU.

WHAT'S FOR US?

FOR YOU, THE MEAT.

OH, DOLORES, DINNER
AT NINE TONIGHT.

NOT EIGHT, NOT 10,
NINE.

SI, SI.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN
THESE IN BLOOM?

THEY'RE LIKE WILD
ROSES THAT BLOOM

IN THE COUNTRY,
SMALL AND DELICATE.

THEY'RE SO LOVELY.

IN SPAIN, THEY'RE BIGGER.

OH, I'M SURE.

IN SPAIN, EVERYTHING IS BIGGER

AND BETTER.

DOLORES, WOULD YOU
BRING THE OTHER TWO

OUT FOR ME PLEASE?

UH, YES, MRS. WHEELER.

MRS. WHEELER?

AH, THANK YOU, DOLORES.

HELLO.

HELLO.

THEY'RE RUGOSA,
AREN'T THEY?

MM, BUFF BEAUTY.

MY WIFE WAS VERY
FOND OF THOSE.

ALWAYS WANTED THOSE ABOUT THE
PLACE.

MR. APPLEBY, WHAT
HAVE YOU BEEN DOING

OVER THERE
ALL THE TIME?

I'M PREPARING A BED
FOR SOME NEW FRIENDS

OF MINE.

THERE'S NO SUBSTITUTE
FOR PREPARATION.

YOU CAN'T JUST STICK THINGS

IN THE GROUND AND
EXPECT THEM TO GROW.

THIS SOIL IS POISONED.

THAT DAMNED OBSCENITY

OF A HOUSE TAKES SO MUCH OF OUR
SUNSHINE AWAY,

WE'RE LUCKY TO
GET ANYTHING.

-HELLO, ELLEN?
-HI.

HI--
ARE YOU GONNA BE LONG?

I'VE GOT SOMETHING
TO SHOW YOU.

WHAT IS IT?

WAIT AND SEE.

YOU GO IN IF YOU LIKE,
MRS. WHEELER.

I'LL DO THESE FOR YOU.

OH, I COULDN'T
LET YOU DO THAT.

BESIDES, THE GARDENER'LL BE HERE
TOMORROW.

AND LEAVE THEM
IN POTS OVERNIGHT?

I COULDN'T BEAR THAT.

BESIDES, IT WOULD
BE A PLEASURE

TO DO ANYTHING
FOR THIS GARDEN.

I PLAYED IN HERE AS A CHILD.

DID YOU?

YOUR HOUSE WAS MY FATHER'S.

NOW I AM REDUCED

TO THE GARDEN FLAT NEXT DOOR.

OH, I AM SORRY.

NO NEED.

I'M ALONE NOW.

YOU GO IN, MRS. WHEELER.

I'LL FINISH THESE OFF.

I'LL PLANT THEM EXACTLY

WHERE YOU PLACED THEM.

OH, THAT IS KIND OF YOU.

ACTUALLY, I--I AM IN A--

A BIT OF A RUSH.

YOU'RE VERY KIND.

THANK YOU.

PRETTY WOMAN.

DO YOU KNOW IT IS
IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ANYTHING

ANYMORE, BUT I'VE GOT TO GET
EVERYTHING BEFORE I GO.

THE SHOPS IN SCOTLAND ARE
TERRIBLE.

I'VE BEEN AT IT ALL DAY.

NOT QUITE ALL DAY, DARLING.

EXCEPT FOR LUNCH,
OF COURSE.

THEY DID HAVE
ANOTHER ONE

WITH STRIPES, AND I THOUGHT IT
MADE

ME LOOK A BIT
LIKE A CONVICT.

HOW DID THAT GO?

WHAT, DARLING?

YOUR LUNCH.

I HAD TOO MUCH WINE.

YOU DON'T THINK IT'S FATTENING,
DO YOU?

NO, IT'S VERY WELL CUT.

WELL, YEAH, I KNOW,
BUT IS IT FATTENING?

NO, DARLING, IT'S VERY NICE.

IS, UH, BARRY GOING TO

LEAVE HIS FAMILY
AND MARRY YOU?

OH, I DON'T WANT HIM TO, I
COULDN'T GO THROUGH THAT

WHAT, RUIN A GOOD LOVE AFFAIR

BY GETTING MARRIED?

NO, THANK YOU.

AH, BUENOS NOCHES, DOLORES.

MRS. WHEELER IS UPSTAIRS

IN THE LOUNGE, SIR.

THANK YOU.

I HAVE DECIDED
IT'S A MISTAKE.

OH, DARLING.

WELL, THEN TAKE IT BACK
TOMORROW.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE
SEEING HIM TOMORROW,

AREN'T YOU?

I DON'T THINK SO.

HE'S PLAYING GOLF
WITH HIS WIFE.

HONESTLY, I REALLY
DO WORRY ABOUT

YOUR TASTE IN MEN.

HELLO, DARLING.

HELLO, SARAH.

I'M SORRY I'M LATE.

PANIC ON WALL STREET.

YOU KNOW, EVERY TIME
THE VIETCONG LAUNCH

A NEW OFFENSIVE, I'M
LATE HOME FOR DINNER.

DARLING, THAT DRESS
LOOKS WONDERFUL.

OH, YOU SILLY ASS,
YOU'VE SEEN IT

HUNDREDS OF
TIMES BEFORE.

YOU KNOW I ALWAYS LIKE
TO DRESS FOR DINNER.

OF COURSE YOU DO.

DO I HAVE TIME FOR A DRINK?

HOW ABOUT YOU, SARAH?
WOULD YOU LIKE ONE?

IT'S ALL RIGHT,
I HAVE ONE.

NOTICE ANYTHING?

WELL, UH, YOU'VE GOT
A NEW DRESS ON.

PRESENT FROM A
RICH ADMIRER?

THAT IS NONE OF
YOUR BUSINESS.

YOU KNOW, WHEN I
WAS A YOUNG DOG,

MY ONLY INTEREST IN WOMEN'S
CLOTHES WAS

IN SEEING THEM REMOVED.

NOW I'VE LEARNED ABOUT

THE FINER THINGS.

I CAN APPRECIATE BOTH.

WHAT DID YOU DO
TODAY, MY DARLING?

DID YOU HAVE A NAP
THIS AFTERNOON?

NO, I WENT OUT AND BOUGHT SOME
LOVELY ROSES.

MR. APPLEBY INSISTED
ON PLANTING THEM.

WELL, THAT WAS
VERY KIND OF HIM.

I'M NOT TOO SURE.

I DON'T THINK I'M REALLY GOING

TO FALL IN LOVE
WITH THAT MAN.

WELL, HE SEEMS QUITE PLEASANT TO
ME.

THERE'S SOMETHING
ABOUT HIM THAT--

I DON'T KNOW, IT--

DOESN'T MATTER.

I HAD A CHAT WITH HIM
THE OTHER DAY.

APPARENTLY, HE USED TO
MANUFACTURE DUMMIES

FOR DEPARTMENT STORES
OR SOMETHING EQUALLY

EXTRAORDINARY.

WELL, I AGREE
WITH YOU, ELLEN.

AVOID YOUR NEIGHBORS
LIKE THE PLAGUE.

OH, ABSOLUTELY.

NOW, IF YOUR FRIENDS, OR ENEMIES

FOR THAT MATTER, ARE LIVING ON
THE OTHER SIDE

OF TOWN, YOU CAN SEE
THEM OR AVOID THEM

WHEN YOU WANT TO.

BUT IF YOU'RE LIVING NEXT DOOR,
IT'S QUITE IMPOSSIBLE.

HOW LONG ARE YOU ACTUALLY
STAYING, SARAH?

YOU MEAN WHEN AM I GOING!

THE SOONER, THE BETTER?

NO, NO, NOT AT ALL.

WHY DON'T YOU STAY FOREVER?

AH, IT'S VERY SWEET
OF YOU, BUT I WANT TO BE

IN GLASGOW ON SATURDAY.

I START WORK ON MONDAY.

OH, LET ME SEE NOW.
THAT GIVES US, UH, THREE DAYS.

MM-HM.

I MUST REMEMBER TO ARRANGE A
CELEBRATION FOR YOU.

WHY DON'T WE
HAVE A PARTY?

WE CAN INVITE BARRY.

AH.

YES, WELL, THAT'S
VERY KIND OF YOU, ELLEN,

BUT, UH, BARRY'S NOT REALLY THE
SORT OF MAN

YOU COULD INTRODUCE
TO YOUR FRIENDS.

I THINK I'LL TAKE
THIS IN WITH ME,

SHOWER, AND CHANGE.

UM, WHAT TIME IS
DINNER, DARLING?

WELL, I ASKED DOLORES
TO SERVE IT AT NINE.

GOOD, THEN WE'D BETTER
BE READY BY HALF PAST 10.

OOH, YOU STARTED A
NEW JIGSAW PUZZLE.

IT LOOKS DIFFICULT.

IT ISN'T REALLY, NOT
ONCE YOU'VE SEEN

THE COMPLETE PICTURE.

I ADMIRE YOUR PATIENCE.

WELL, IT GIVES ME SOMETHING TO
DO

WHEN I'M ALONE
IN THE HOUSE.

ARE YOU COLD?

NO.

WHY CAN'T YOU SLEEP?

I'M AN INSOMNIAC,
DIDN'T YOU KNOW?

RUNS IN THE FAMILY.

IT'S NOT HEREDITARY.

OH, YES IT IS.

MY FATHER HAD--

I'VE BEEN THINKING
ABOUT MY FATHER,

TRYING TO UNDERSTAND.

WHAT?

THAT'S WHAT THE WATCHERS OF THE
NIGHT ARE FOR.

THINGS THAT IN DAYTIME
ARE UNKNOWN

AND UNREMEMBERED.

WHY COULDN'T HE SLEEP?

HE WAS THE KINDEST MAN.

HE HAD ALL THE MONEY

IN THE WORLD, DID EVERYTHING HE

WANTED TO DO.

WROTE BAD POETRY.

LIVED IN A GREAT HOUSE.

WAS A GENTLEMAN FARMER.

IS IT SOMETHING
THAT I'VE DONE?

OH, DONE?

WHAT COULD YOU HAVE DONE, MY
DARLING?

I CAN'T SLEEP BECAUSE
I CAN'T SLEEP.

I AM BESET

BY MEMORIES AND DREAMS.

OH, I HAVE BEEN SO
SPOILED, HAVEN'T I?

BY HIM, BY YOU, BY CARL.

CARL?

OH, I WASN'T THINKING
OF HIM.

YOU MUSTN'T
THINK THAT.

I WAS THINKING OF WHEN
WE FIRST MET.

AND I WAS

AS I WAS, AND YOU SAID,

"REST ON ME.

RELY ON ME."

YES, AND I
MEANT THAT.

DID YOU?

DO YOU?

YES.

OH, HOLD ME.

LET'S GO AWAY.

LET'S GO AWAY

TOMORROW TO GREECE, ROME,
SOMEWHERE

IN THE SUN AS WE
USED TO BEFORE--

BEFORE I WANTED TO
MAKE MY OWN LIVING.

LIVING DOESN'T MATTER,
ONLY LIFE.

I'VE LOST SOMETHING, AND
I WANT IT BACK.

THERE'S NOTHING LOST.

YOU SURE?

YES.

YES.

WELL.

I TALK TOO MUCH, DON'T I?

SORRY.

YES, YOU DO.

DO YOU WANT TO
GO BACK TO SLEEP?

NO.

IT'S TOO LATE NOW.

I THINK I'LL WATCH THE STORM.

IT'S FASCINATING.

I SHAN'T SLEEP AGAIN EITHER.

I'M SORRY.

CAN I GET YOU SOMETHING?

WOULD YOU LIKE A GLASS

OF WARM MILK?

A GLASS OF MILK.

WHY NOT?

LOVE YOU.

LOVE YOU.

NO!

OH, MY GOD, NO!

NO!

JOHN!
JOHN!

WHAT IS IT ELLEN?

OH, JOHN, I THINK I'VE
SEEN A DEAD MAN!

HE'S BEEN MURDERED!

WHAT?

IN THE OLD HOUSE, THE WINDOW OF
THE OLD HOUSE!

I THINK HIS THROAT'S
BEEN CUT!

IN THE UPSTAIRS WINDOW.

I'M SORRY, DARLING,
BUT I JUST CAN'T SEE

ANYTHING AND THE SHUTTERS ARE
CLOSED.

OH, MY GOD.

THEN SOMEONE'S CLOSED THEM.

WE HAVE TO CALL
THE POLICE.

BUT IT'S DARK OUTSIDE, DARLING.

HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY HAVE
SEEN ANYTHING?

I SAW IT IN THE LIGHTNING.

THE, THE SHUTTERS WERE OPEN
THEN.

OH, PLEASE CALL THE POLICE.

NOW PLEASE CALM DOWN.

HE WAS--HE WAS SITTING
IN A HIGH WINGBACK CHAIR,

AND HIS THROAT WAS CUT, AND
THERE WAS BLOOD ALL COMING OUT--

NOW SIT DOWN DARLING I'LL GET
YOU A BRANDY,

AND THEN
YOU CAN TELL ME AGAIN

CLEARLY AND CALMLY EXACTLY WHAT
HAPPENED.

I DON'T WANT ANY BRANDY.

WILL YOU PLEASE CALL THE POLICE,
HE'S STILL IN THE HOUSE!

THE POLICE DON'T PARTICULARLY
APPRECIATE

BEING CALLED OUT AT THIS HOUR ON
A FALSE ALARM.

IT'S OUR DUTY!

YOU MAY HAVE THOUGHT THAT YOU
SAW SOMETHING.

I MEAN, THE WIND COULD HAVE
OPENED AND

CLOSED THOSE SHUTTERS.

OH, WHY WON'T
YOU BELIEVE ME?

ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT!

WHAT IS THE NUMBER OF THAT HOUSE
OVER THERE?

I DON'T KNOW.

NUMBER...17 HANSON
STREET, I THINK.

HELLO, INSPECTOR.

I'D LIKE TO REPORT A MURDER.

GET A PAIR OF
CABLE CUTTERS.

RIGHT, SIR.

ARE YOU SURE THEY SAID THEY WERE
COMING?

YES, DARLING, I TOLD YOU THEY
WERE ON THEIR WAY.

YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS HEARD THE
BRITISH POLICE

WERE SO EFFICIENT.

HERE YOU ARE, DARLING.
YOU BETTER TAKE THIS.

OH, I DON'T THINK I SHOULD.

DO YOU?
I MEAN I, I HAVE

TO TALK TO THEM,
EXPLAIN IT.

NOW COME ON, IT'LL
CALM YOU DOWN.

YES, ALL RIGHT.

OH!

I'LL GO.

NO, THEY HAVE
TO TALK TO ME.

I WON'T BE A MOMENT, DARLING.

OH, GOD.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

OH, CHRIST, I'VE NEVER
BEEN SO NERVOUS.

I'VE NEVER HAD TO DEAL WITH THE
POLICE BEFORE.

YES, YOU HAVE, ELLEN.

WHEN?

WELL, DON'T YOU REMEMBER?

THAT TIME WITH CARL.

THANK YOU, DOLORES.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.

YOU THE GENTLEMAN WHO MADE THE
TELEPHONE CALL?

MR. WHEELER, ISN'T IT?

YES, I'M TERRIBLY SORRY
TO TROUBLE YOU AT

THIS LATE HOUR, BUT--

NO TROUBLE.

YOU REPORTED SEEING SOMETHING

IN THE BUILDING AT THE
FOOT OF YOUR GARDEN.

ACTUALLY...MY WIFE SAW IT.

HAVE THERE BEEN ANY OTHER
DISTURBANCES

SINCE YOU CALLED?

NO, YOU CAME
VERY QUICKLY.

IT'S OUR JOB, SIR.

NOW, MR. WHEELER,
WE'VE GOT MEN

IN THE
FRONT OF THE HOUSE.

IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY OUT OF
THAT BUILDING

TO YOUR KNOWLEDGE?

YES, THERE'S A BACK DOOR LEADING
ONTO OUR GARDEN.

BUT IT'S ALWAYS KEPT SECURELY
LOCKED.

DO YOU MIND IF I PUT
MY MEN OUT THERE?

NOT AT ALL.

WILSON, WHEN YOU GET
SET UP, CALL THE OTHERS

AND TELL THEM
TO MOVE IN.

DOLORES, WOULD
YOU KINDLY SHOW

THIS GENTLEMAN INTO
THE GARDEN, PLEASE?

YES, MR. WHEELER.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME
IN HERE, INSPECTOR?

THANK YOU.

INSPECTOR, BEFORE YOU TALK TO MY
WIFE--

YES, SIR.

SHE'S NOT AT ALL WELL.

SHE'S NOT BEEN SLEEPING.

WHEN YOU SPEAK TO HER,
INSPECTOR, PLEASE TRY NOT

TO UPSET HER
ANY FURTHER.

IS THERE SOMETHING
ELSE I SHOULD KNOW?

NO.

NO, IT, IT'S JUST
THAT SHE'S BEEN VERY

FRIGHTENED
BY ALL OF THIS.

I UNDERSTAND.

I'LL BE
AS BRIEF AS POSSIBLE.

DO YOU THINK I COULD HAVE A WORD
WITH HER NOW?

YES.

PLEASE BE SEATED.

I'LL BRING HER RIGHT DOWN.

THOMPSON, SMITH, YOU TAKE A LOOK
AROUND UPSTAIRS.

LET'S HAVE A
LOOK IN HERE.

I SAW IT ALL SO CLEARLY
IN THE LIGHTNING.

IT'S LIKE A PHOTOGRAPH BURNED ON
MY MIND.

HE WAS SITTING IN THE
CHAIR WITH HIS HANDS

HANGING DOWN BY HIS
SIDE AND HIS EYES OPEN

AND BLOOD POURING
DOWN HIS CHEST.

CAN YOU TELL ME
WHAT HE LOOKED LIKE?

HE, HE WAS FAIR-
HEADED, TALL--

TALL?

YOU SAID
HE WAS SEATED.

WELL, YOU CAN TELL
IF A MAN IS TALL EVEN

IF HE IS SEATED.

YES,

TALL AND FAIR-HEADED.

HOW OLD WAS HE,
WOULD YOU SAY?

I-I-I DON'T KNOW.

HE--

HE COULD'VE BEEN--

I JUST DON'T KNOW.

MR. WHEELER, PERHAPS I COULD
JUST LOOK NOW

AT THAT WINDOW
FROM THE POSITION

WHERE YOUR WIFE
SAW THE MAN.

YES, CERTAINLY.

HE WAS ON THE FIRST
FLOOR, THE WINDOW

WITH THE SHUTTERS.

WITH DUE RESPECT, MR. WHEELER,
AT THIS DISTANCE,

AND IN A FLASH OF LIGHTNING, I'D
FIND IT

DIFFICULT TO BE AS POSITIVE AS
YOUR WIFE WAS.

SHE WAS QUITE CERTAIN.

ARE THOSE YOUR
MEN DOWN THERE?

YES.

HAVE A LOOK IN THERE.

RIGHT-OH.

RIGHT, THEN,
OVER HERE.

LET ME HAVE THAT TORCH.

WHY ARE YOU GOING ON
AT ME?

COULD IT BE THIS,
COULD IT BE THAT?

I'VE TOLD YOU EVERYTHING I'VE
SEEN.

COULD IT POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN AN
OPTICAL ILLUSION

CAUSED BY THE STORM?

IT WAS A DEAD BODY
CAUSED BY A MURDERER.

INSPECTOR, YOUR MEN
ARE STILL SEARCHING,

ARE THEY NOT?

QUITE RIGHT, SIR.

WOULD YOU LIKE A
DRINK, INSPECTOR?

THAT'S VERY KIND OF YOU.

WHAT'LL YOU HAVE?

JUST A SOFT DRINK.

NOTHING FIZZY.

SOME ORANGE
SCOTCH AND WATER?

THAT'LL BE FINE.

PERHAPS THE INSPECTOR WOULD LIKE
SOME ICE, JOHN?

I'LL GET IT.

THAT'LL BE ONE
OF MY MEN NOW.

SORRY TO HAVE UPSET
YOU, MRS. WHEELER.

WHATEVER THERE WAS, MY MEN WILL
HAVE FOUND IT.

THIS WAY, PLEASE.
HE'S IN HERE.

AH, THANK YOU
VERY MUCH, SIR.

GOOD EVENING.

GO ON.

WELL, THERE'S NOTHING THERE,
SIR.

THE HOUSE IS A MAZE OF CORRIDORS
AND STAIRCASES.

WE SEARCHED EVERYTHING ROOF TO
BASEMENT.

AS FAR AS I CAN SEE, NOBODY'S
BEEN IN OR OUT

OF THAT HOUSE
FOR A LONG TIME.

THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

FIRST FLOOR, CENTER WINDOW.

THAT'S THE ROOM.

YES, A BIG ROOM WITH A FIREPLACE
AND SOME

ODD BITS OF FURNITURE.

OH, AND THERE'S ONE OF

THOSE, UH, OLD-FASHIONED WING
CHAIRS

BY THE WINDOW.

THEN THE CHAIR IS THERE.

I'M NOT GOING MAD.

AND, AND WAS THE
SHUTTER OPEN?

NO, IT WAS LOOSE, MA'AM.

I SECURED IT.

WELL, THEY MUST HAVE MOVED THE
BODY.

I'M SORRY, MA'AM,
BUT THERE'S NO SIGN

OF VIOLENCE AROUND
THAT CHAIR.

NO BLOOD
OR SIGNS OF STRUGGLE--

BUT THAT CAN'T BE!
THAT CAN'T BE!

YOU'RE NOT TELLING ME THE TRUTH
BECAUSE YOU--

YOU DON'T WANT
TO UPSET ME.

DARLING, HE MUST BE TELLING YOU
THE TRUTH.

YOU'VE FORGOTTEN.

I KNOW WHAT'S THERE.

I'VE S--I'VE SEEN IT.

BUT DARLING, I SAW
THEM SEARCHING

THE BUILDING MYSELF.

OH, FOR GODS' SAKES!

I HAVE SEEN WHAT'S THERE!

NOW, DARLING, PLEASE!

YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME!

YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME!

-ELLEN!
-DON'T WORRY,

I'LL SEE SHE'S ALL RIGHT.

ELLEN! DARLING, WAIT A MINUTE,
PLEASE.

ELLEN!

I'LL SEE YOU OUTSIDE.

YES, SIR.

-GOOD NIGHT.
-GOOD NIGHT

I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT, INSPECTOR.

NOT TO WORRY.

ANYBODY CAN MAKE A MISTAKE.

HAVE YOU LIVED IN THIS
NEIGHBORHOOD LONG, SIR?

ABOUT SIX MONTHS.

AND YOUR PROFESSION, IF YOU
DON'T MIND MY ASKING.

I'M AN INVESTMENT ADVISOR.

VERY NICE, TOO.

I'VE NEVER UNDERSTOOD
STOCKS AND SHARES.

I DON'T KNOW ANYBODY
WHO DOES.

THAT'S COMFORTING.

YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW THE OWNERS OF
THAT BUILDING?

NO, BUT I'M TOLD
THE OWNERS WENT

TO SOUTH AFRICA.

I SEE.

IS YOUR WIFE
ALONE A LOT?

NOT MORE THAN MOST WOMEN.

WE HAVE A
MRS. COOKE STAYING WITH US.

SHE'S ON HOLIDAY,
THEY'RE OLD FRIENDS.

HMM.

WELL, THANK YOU
FOR ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS,

MR. WHEELER.

WE'LL BE IN TOUCH.

INSPECTOR.

I WOULDN'T ENTIRELY DISMISS
THE POSSIBILITY

THAT MY
WIFE SAW SOMETHING.

I HAVEN'T.

WE'VE PUT A MAN ON TO WATCH THE
BUILDING.

WE'LL BE BACK IN THE MORNING TO
CHECK AGAIN.

GOOD NIGHT, SIR.

GOOD NIGHT,
INSPECTOR.

ANYTHING YOU
DIDN'T TELL ME?

NO, SIR.

THERE'S NOTHING OVER THERE.

WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF IT?

I MAKE NOTHING OF IT.

RIGHT NOW, MY GUTS
ARE KILLING ME,

AND I SHOULD'VE BEEN
OFF DUTY TWO HOURS AGO.

COULD'VE BEEN THE
DRINK.

OR THE DRUGS.

MONEY AND MENOPAUSE
MORE LIKELY.

THE RICH GET NERVOUS.

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME
TO WRITE IN THE REPORT?

WE'LL WORRY ABOUT
THAT IN THE MORNING.

RIGHT NOW, I'M
GOING HOME.

IS SHE IN BED?

YES, I'VE GIVEN HER
A SLEEPING PILL.

DO YOU THINK
THAT'S WISE?

IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

JOHN?

JOHN?

COMING, DARLING.

GOOD NIGHT.

JOHN?

THAT CHAIR AND
THE DEAD BODY SO CLOSE

TO THE WINDOW AS IF I
WERE MEANT TO SEE IT.

DARLING, DON'T THINK ABOUT IT.

NOW TRY AND
GET SOME SLEEP.

SLEEP.

OH, GOOD MORNING, DOLORES.

GOOD MORNING.

OH, IS THAT FOR
MRS. WHEELER?

YES.

WELL, DID SHE RING
FOR IT, THE BELL?

NO, BUT IT'S TIME.

AH, WELL, I THINK SHE'LL BE A
LITTLE LATER THIS MORNING.

WAIT UNTIL SHE RINGS.

I'LL BE BACK AFTER LUNCH.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

MRS. WHEELER?

GOOD MORNING, DOLORES.

UH, COULD YOU COME
HERE A MOMENT?

YES.

THE TREES.

WERE THEY THERE YESTERDAY?

OH, YES.

NO, UM, NOT YESTERDAY.

HE--
HE PLANT THIS MORNING.

DID YOU SEE HIM?

NO, UM, MAYBE HE
PLANT LAST NIGHT.

YOU WANT ME TO ASK?

NO!

N--NO, THANK YOU.

OH, UH, MRS. COOKE
SAYS SHE'LL BE BACK

AFTER LUNCH.

THANK YOU, DOLORES.

HELLO?

I'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO INSPECTOR
WALKER, PLEASE.

HERE YOU ARE, SIR.

THANK YOU
VERY MUCH.

FORTY-SEVEN, PLEASE.

THANK YOU.

HELLO.

HELLO.

UNDER THE TREES.

NOW THAT'S A VERY INTERESTING
THEORY, MRS. WHEELER.

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THIS BODY
IS UNDER THE TREES?

THERE WAS A TRENCH IN THAT
GARDEN YESTERDAY.

I KNOW BECAUSE I
SAW HIM DIGGING IT.

AND LAST NIGHT, I
SAW A DEAD BODY

IN THAT HOUSE.

NOW, IN THE TIME THAT IT

TOOK YOU TO
GET OVER HERE--

NOT MORE THAN 10 MINUTES.

COULDN'T SOMEONE
HAVE REMOVED THAT

BODY AND BURIED
IT LATER?

THERE WERE NO TREES
THERE YESTERDAY.

MY MAID CAN BEAR
ME OUT ON THAT.

THE MAN HAS THE RIGHT
TO PLANT TREES

IN HIS OWN GARDEN.

OH, GOD, IT'S HOPELESS!

THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO.

I WISH I COULD PRESENT YOU WITH
A BODY AND A MAN

STANDING BESIDE IT
WITH A SIGNED CONFESSION

IN HIS HAND.

BUT I CAN'T!

I CAN ONLY TELL YOU
WHAT I'VE SEEN.

DON'T WORRY,
MRS. WHEELER.

I'LL BE QUESTIONING
MR. APPLEBY.

A BODY IN THE OLD HOUSE?

HOW VERY EXCITING!

I SAW NOTHING.

WHEN DID YOU PLANT THESE TREES,
MR. APPLEBY?

ODD QUESTION.

LAST NIGHT.

BEST TIME TO PLANT ANYTHING
AFTER A RAIN STORM.

THE LEAVES ARE COOL.

THE SOIL IS SATURATED.

THE ENZYMES ARE ACTIVE.

I PLANTED THEM JUST
AFTER YOU LEFT

AS A MATTER OF FACT.

YOU KNEW WE
WERE HERE THEN.

OH, YES.

I WONDERED
WHAT WAS GOING ON.

DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT
TREES, INSPECTOR?

NO, AS A MATTER
OF FACT, I DON'T.

THEY'RE VIBURNUM ADELAIDE,
GRAFT HYBRID.

IT'S EXTREMELY RARE.

A CROSS BETWEEN THE COMMON
VIBURNUM

AND THE PURPLE-COLORED
BLOOM PRODUCING

BLOSSOMS OF BOTH COLORS,
EXTRAORDINARY.

DO YOU OFTEN STAY UP ALL NIGHT,
MR. APPLEBY?

WHY, YES.

QUITE OFTEN.

SOMETIMES ALL NIGHT.

SOMETIMES ALL DAY.

LIVING ALONE,
DAY AND NIGHT

HARDLY SEEM
TO MATTER, DO THEY?

MY WIFE USED TO SAY--

DO YOU MIND IF WE ASK
YOU TO DIG THESE UP?

I CERTAINLY WOULD.

NOT EVEN FOR MRS. WHEELER'S
PEACE OF MIND.

YOU COULD HAVE A
DOG SNIFF AT THEM.

IT WOULD SERVE
THE SAME PURPOSE.

NOT QUITE.

YOU'D NEED A COURT ORDER, AND
I'D DO MY BEST

TO MAKE IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT
FOR YOU.

IT WON'T BE NECESSARY.

THANK YOU, MR. APPLEBY.

MR. WHEELER'S OFFICE.

YES, MR. CLYDE.

I'M SORRY.

HE SHOULD BE BACK AT ANY MIN--

HERE HE IS NOW WILL YOU
HOLD THE LINE, PLEASE?

MR. CLYDE ON LINE TWO.

PUT HIM THROUGH.

ANYBODY ELSE?

AN INSPECTOR WALKER
HAS CALLED.

TWICE.

WHAT HAVE YOU
BEEN UP TO?

RAPING SECRETARIES.

GET WALKER ON THE
OTHER LINE, PLEASE.

JUST A MOMENT, I'M PUTTING YOU
THROUGH.

HELLO, TOMMY?

YES, I WAS JUST ABOUT TO CALL
YOU.

WELL, I'VE BEEN WORKING
ON IT, AND I THINK I'VE

GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU.

THERE'S A NEW COMPANY CALLED,
UH, HARMON.

YES, HARMON, H-A-R-M-O-N,
PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT.

YES.

THEY ARE DOING RATHER WELL,
AREN'T THEY?

WELL, IT'S GOING UP STEADILY.

LET ME SEE NOW,
UH, IT WAS--MY GOD.

IT'S--IT'S 117 THIS MORNING.

TOMMY, UH, SOMETHING'S COME UP.

YES, I'LL CHECK THE CLOSING
PRICES AND CALL YOU BACK.

ALL RIGHT,
THANK YOU.

BYE-BYE.

PUT HIM THROUGH,
WOULD YOU?

HELLO, INSPECTOR?

WELL, WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

SORRY TO BOTHER
YOU, MR. WHEELER.

IT'S JUST A LITTLE MATTER
OF YOUR WIFE HAVING

CALLED THE STATION.

THE INSPECTOR TOLD ME
YOU PHONED HIM

FOUR TIMES TODAY, EVEN AFTER
HE'D LEFT HERE.

HE'S UTTERLY CONVINCED HE'S
DEALING WITH AN

HYSTERICAL WOMAN.

AND YOU?

NO, NOT AT ALL.

THEN WHY DO YOU WANT
ME TO SEE A DOCTOR?

TONY ISN'T JUST A DOCTOR.

HE'S AN OLD FRIEND.

YOURS.

OUR FRIEND.

IF ONLY YOU'D
JUST SEE HIM.

LOOK, WHETHER THIS
THING THAT YOU SAW--

A DEAD BODY.

ALL RIGHT, A DEAD BODY, BUT
THAT'S NOT THE POINT.

YOU HAVEN'T BEEN SLEEPING.

YOU'RE NERVOUS, ON EDGE.

PERHAPS YOU WERE RIGHT.

YOU SHOULD TAKE
A HOLIDAY.

WHAT I SUGGESTED WAS
WE TAKE A HOLIDAY.

BUT DARLING, I CAN'T.

NOW PLEASE, LET'S NOT
GO THROUGH THAT AGAIN.

IF YOU LOVED ME, YOU WOULD
BELIEVE ME.

BUT YOUR FIRST REACTION
IS OH, THAT'S JUST ELLEN.

SHE'S OFF AGAIN.

THINGS ARE HAPPENING AROUND
HERE!

AND ALL ANYONE SAYS
TO ME IS OH, DON'T WORRY,

MRS. WHEELER.

JUST
GO TO SLEEP, DARLING.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT A THING.

IT'S PROBABLY
ALL JUST IN YOUR MIND.

MAYBE IT IS.

THEN WHAT ABOUT THESE?

ARE THESE IN MY MIND?

THE POLICE GAVE THESE TO ME
AFTER CARL'S ACCIDENT.

THEY DISAPPEARED.

I THOUGHT I'D LOST THEM.

I HAVEN'T SEEN
THEM FOR YEARS.

WELL, I D--I DON'T KNOW WHERE
THE HELL THEY CAME FROM.

TODAY, I FOUND THEM
IN THAT DRAWER.

I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT SMOKES IN
THIS HOUSE,

I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT USES THAT
DRAWER.

CARL'S THINGS WERE PUT
IN THERE FOR ME TO FIND.

NOW IT'S CARL, IS IT?

WELL, WHERE DID
THEY COME FROM?

LOOK, ELLEN.

I'M SORRY.

A DEAD BODY, I CAN COPE WITH.

BUT YOUR DEAD HUSBAND
IS TOO MUCH.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

OUT!

TO THE ALMOST EXTINCT REFUGE

OF THE BRITISH MALE.

MY LOCAL PUB.

AND PLEASE DO ME
A FAVOR.

DON'T ASK THE POLICE TO GO
LOOKING FOR ME.

GOING OUT?

YES.

WHAT'S HAPPENED?

WHAT'S HAPPENED?

NOTHING.

IS SHE ALL RIGHT?

SHE'S FOUND SOME OF CARL'S
THINGS IN HER DRAWER.

SHE CLAIMS SOMEONE PUT THEM
THERE DELIBERATELY.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

I WAS RIGHT,
I THOUGHT YOU'D STILL BE UP.

COME ON, HERE'S SOMETHING TO
MAKE US BOTH SLEEP.

A CUP OF COCOA FOR YOU AND A CUP
OF COCOA FOR ME.

THANK YOU.

I NEVER THOUGHT I'D BE
REDUCED TO THIS.

WAITING FOR MY HUSBAND

TO COME BACK
FROM THE PUB.

IT'S ALL RIGHT,
HE'LL BE BACK SOON.

HE'S JUST WORRIED AND UPSET.

THAT'S ALL.

OH, WHAT'S HAPPENING
TO ME?

SARAH, I DID SEE THAT MAN WITH
HIS THROAT CUT

AND THE BLOOD RUNNING DOWN HIS
CHEST.

I DID SEE HIM.

WAS IT CARL?

HOW COULD IT
HAVE BEEN CARL?

YOU SAID HE WAS
TALL AND BLOND.

CARL IS DEAD.

DID YOU
SEE BARRY TODAY?

NO.

NO, HE COULDN'T.

LOOK, I BELIEVE
YOU, DARLING.

I BELIEVE YOU DID SEE SOMETHING
OR SOMEBODY.

DO YOU REMEMBER
THAT TIME WHEN WE

WERE FIRST TOGETHER,
WHEN YOU WERE ILL

IN THAT VILLA IN
MONTON?

YOU SAID
YOU SAW CARL THEN.

I DON'T REMEMBER.

NO, PROBABLY NOT.

BUT IT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE, YOU
KNOW.

IT HAPPENS TO LOTS OF PEOPLE,
PEOPLE WHO

HAVE VISIONS, SEE GHOSTS, HAVE
HALLUCINATIONS.

IF THE MIND IS OBSESSED ENOUGH
WITH SOMETHING,

IT CAN ACTUALLY PRODUCE AN IMAGE
ON THE RETINA.

IT HAS A NAME.

IT'S CALLED AN EIDETIC IMAGE.

I--I HAVEN'T THOUGHT
ABOUT CARL FOR YEARS.

I LOVED HIM, YES, BUT
THAT'S ALL OVER.

OH, WHERE IS JOHN?

ARE YOU GOING
TO DRINK THAT?

NO.

LET ME GET YOU SOMETHING ELSE.

SARAH.

SARAH!

SARAH!

WHAT IS IT?

COME HERE.

LOOK.

LOOK!

DO YOU SEE IT?

YOU DO SEE IT,
DON'T YOU?

MY GOD, YOU'RE RIGHT.

THERE IS SOMEONE THERE.

I'M GOING TO CALL
THE POLICE.

NO, ELLEN, WAIT!

WHY?

WELL, IT MIGHT
BE THE POLICE.

WELL THEN
THEY'LL KNOW.

OR SOMETHING QUITE INNOCENT LIKE
A--

A TRAMP OR--OR SOME
KIDS OR SOMETHING.

WELL, THEY SHOULD
KNOW ABOUT THAT,

SHOULDN'T THEY?

I'LL MAKE SURE THE
KITCHEN DOOR'S LOCKED.

INSPECTOR WALKER?

ELLEN'S SEEN A LIGHT
IN THE OLD HOUSE.

NOT AGAIN!

IT'S THERE.

I SAW IT TOO.

WHERE IS SHE?

CALLING THE POLICE.

YOU STAY OUT HERE.

COME ON, QUICK.

GET IN THERE.

QUICK AS YOU CAN.

FOR GOD'S SAKE!

WHAT BLOODY IDIOT

LEFT THIS OPEN?

YOU'RE JUST A BUNCH OF
INCOMPETENTS.

YOU THREE IN THE BASEMENT.

THE REST ARE UPSTAIRS WITH ME.

THERE'S A LIGHT
UP HERE, SARGE.

WELL, GET AFTER
HIM THEN!

YES, SIR!

COME ON,
COME ON!

HE WENT ROUND THE BACK,
CUT HIM OFF!

HE'S IN THE HALL!

HE'S IN THE HALLWAY!

QUICK, AFTER HIM!

GET UP THERE QUICK!

GET OFF!

GET OFF!

GET OFF!

LOOKIN' FOR FERTILIZER,
WERE WE, MR. APPLEBY?

PUT HIM IN THE CAR.

SINCE WHEN WAS
CURIOSITY A CRIME?

THIS IS AN INTRUSION
OF PRIVACY I CANNOT

AND WILL NOT TOLERATE!

GET A CARPENTER
AND BOARD IT UP.

PADLOCK THE GATES.

WE'LL EXPLAIN TO THE
OWNERS IN THE MORNING.

RIGHT-OH.

WELL, I'M AFRAID
THAT'S ABOUT AS FAR

AS WE CAN GO, SIR.

ALL RIGHT, THEN,
WELL HOLD IT THERE.

THERE'S NOTHING
THERE, SIR.

-THAT'S IT.
-WHAT DID WE EXPECT

TO FIND, SHERLOCK HOLMES?

A WAX MODEL COVERED
WITH TOMATO KETCHUP?

AN EARTHWORM
WITH A REVOLVER?

I TOLD YOU LAST NIGHT,
IT WAS PURE CURIOSITY.

IF I CAME TO YOU
AND TOLD YOU THERE WAS

A DEAD BODY IN THE NEXT HOUSE,
WOULDN'T

YOU POP
OVER TO TAKE A LOOK?

YOU COULD'VE RESTRAINED YOUR
CURIOSITY.

YOU HAD NO BUSINESS
IN THAT HOUSE.

BUT UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES,

WE'RE PREPARED TO DROP THE
CHARGE AGAINST YOU.

HOW KIND.

WE'LL HAVE A GO
AND REPLANT THEM

IF YOU LIKE, SIR.

YOU DON'T REPLANT
THE DEAD, SERGEANT.

YOU BURY THEM!

JUST GET THEM OUT OF MY GARDEN!

EXCUSE ME,
MR. APPLEBY.

I'LL BE VERY HAPPY
TO PAY FOR THE TREES.

WILL YOU PAY FOR MY TREES, MR.
WHEELER DEALER?

MR. STOCKS-AND-BONDS, I'M SURE
YOU CAN AFFORD IT,

OR YOUR WIFE CAN!

WATCH IT, YOU BALD-HEADED
NIT, OR I'LL PLANT THOSE

TREES RIGHT UP YOUR--

GET OUT, ALL OF YOU!

GET OUT OF MY GARDEN!

GET OUT!

GET OUT!

RUFFLED HIS FEATHERS.

EXCUSE ME.

UH, MR. WHEELER,
JUST A MOMENT.

YES, INSPECTOR?

THIS CLOSES THE CASE.

I DO HOPE YOUR WIFE DOESN'T MAKE
ANY MORE CALLS TO THE STATION.

IT'S BECOMING A BIG
JOKE DOWN THERE.

THIS IS THE KIND OF THING THAT
WASTES THE TIME OF THE FORCE.

I'M SURE YOUR TIME MUST BE VERY
VALUABLE, INSPECTOR.

SO IS MINE.

GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND, JOHN.

I'M IN COMPLETE SYMPATHY
WITH YOU.

I KNOW
ELLEN'S PAST HISTORY,

AND IT WOULD SEEM THAT THERE ARE
CERTAIN

LATENT NEUROTIC
PATTERNS WHICH

MIGHT BE DANGEROUS.

ONLY TO HERSELF.

SHE PHONED THE POLICE
SIX TIMES YESTERDAY.

THIS MORNING, SHE HAD THEM
DIGGING UP

THE GARDEN NEXT DOOR
FOR A TOTALLY

NON-EXISTENT BODY.

NOW MY NEIGHBOR'S THREATENING TO
SUE ME.

THE POLICE HAVE ASKED
ME TO RESTRAIN HER.

SHE'S HARDLY SLEPT
OR EATEN ANYTHING

IN THE PAST FEW DAYS.

SHE TAKING THE
PILLS I PRESCRIBED?

YES.

SLEEPING PILLS, TRANQUILIZERS,
WHATEVER.

BUT THEY DON'T SEEM TO HELP HER
VERY MUCH.

WHAT WORRIES ME
MOST IS THAT SHE MIGHT

TAKE AN OVERDOSE.

TONY, COULDN'T YOU FIND SOME
EXCUSE TO DROP BY?

FOR DINNER, PERHAPS, FOR
A DRINK.

JUST TO SEE
FOR YOURSELF.

YES, I COULD, BUT I DOUBT
IF IT WOULD DECEIVE HER.

SHE'S FAR TOO INTELLIGENT.

AND THEN WHATEVER CONFIDENCE SHE
HAS

IN ME MIGHT BE
TOTALLY DESTROYED.

I'M SORRY, BUT I'M AFRAID THERE
ISN'T VERY MUCH

YOU CAN DO SHORT OF INSTITUTING
PROCEEDINGS

TO HAVE HER COMMITTED.

OH, CHRIST, I COULDN'T
DO THAT.

NO.
NO, OF COURSE NOT.

AND I WASN'T SUGGESTING
THAT YOU SHOULD.

THERE IS ONLY ONE THING YOU
REALLY CAN DO,

AND THAT IS TO TRY
TO GET HER TO COME

AND SEE ME
VOLUNTARILY.

BUT HOW?

EVEN THE POLICE
HAVE MANAGED

TO PERSUADE HER THAT
SHE'S SEEING THINGS.

AND THAT'S BECAUSE
SHE IS SEEING THEM.

IT'S NO USE YOU TRYING
TO TELL HER THAT

THERE ISN'T A DEAD
BODY IN THAT HOUSE.

WHAT WE HAVE TO DO IS
TO MAKE HER ACCEPT

THE FACT THAT THE
DEAD BODY IS IN HERE.

AND THEN THE MOMENT
SHE BEGINS TO MISTRUST

HER OWN JUDGMENT, SHE'LL BE
READY TO RELY ON MINE.

ANYWAY, TRY NOT
TO WORRY, HMM?

WE DON'T WANT TO
START TREATING YOU.

NOT A CHANCE.

I COULDN'T AFFORD IT.

OF COURSE IF SHE
CHANGES HER MIND,

YOU KNOW WHERE
TO GET A HOLD OF ME.

AND IN THE MEANTIME,
TRY TO ACT NATURALLY.

REFILL, SARAH?

OH--
OH, YES.

YES, PLEASE.

DARLING?

ANYTHING
FOR YOU?

NO.

HOW DID IT GO
WITH BARRY TODAY?

OH, WE HAD LUNCH
AT THE FLYING HORSE

IN SIDNEY STREET.

HE HAS TERRIBLE TASTE.

WELL, HE HAS TO HAVE
PLAIN FOOD.

IT'S HIS ULCER.

ULCERS AND GOLF.

WHAT A COMBINATION.

YOU KNOW, THIS CHARACTER IS
BECOMING INCREASINGLY

UNBELIEVABLE.

WHAT'S HE GOING TO DO WHEN
YOU GO TO SCOTLAND?

FIND ANOTHER GIRL, I GUESS.

PROBABLY.

PLENTY OF THEM ABOUT.

YOU KNOW, I DON'T
REALLY WANT TO GO.

THE THOUGHT OF ALL
THOSE PIMPLY FACES

STARING UP AT ME.

I WANT TO GO ON AN

ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXPEDITION TO
PANAMA

OR BE A CROUPIER
AT MONTE CARLO.

WELL, WHY DON'T YOU?

I MIGHT.

I'VE NEVER
STAYED IN ONE JOB

LONGER THAN TWO YEARS.

DAMN IT.

IF YOU GO ON THIS EXPEDITION,
WHAT

ARE YOU GOING TO DO
ABOUT THE SCHOOL?

OH, JUST SEND THEM A TELEGRAM.

ILLNESS IN THE FAMILY OR
SOMETHING EQUALLY TRANSPARENT.

OH, DINNER IS READY,
MRS. WHEELER.

AMAZING--QUICK, WE'D BETTER GO
IN

BEFORE
SHE CHANGES HER MIND.

COME ON, DARLING.

UH, YOU TWO GO AHEAD.

I'M NOT HUNGRY.

OH, COME ON. YOU CAN'T GO
WITHOUT FOOD AS WELL.

PLEASE, I--
I'M NOT HUNGRY.

OH.

MRS. WHEELER
NOT COMING?

JUST KEEP IT WARM, DOLORES.

THANK YOU.

I COULD KICK MYSELF
FOR MAKING THAT

REMARK ABOUT ILLNESS
IN THE FAMILY.

WHY IS IT WHENEVER
YOU'RE TRYING TO

AVOID A SUBJECT, IT INEVITABLY
CREEPS

INTO THE
CONVERSATION?

YOU COULD'VE
TRIED HARDER.

DON'T TAKE IT
OUT ON ME, JOHN.

I'M SORRY.

WHAT DID TONY
HAVE TO SAY?

HE SAID HE COULDN'T SEE HER
WITHOUT HER PERMISSION.

SHE'S GOT TO SEE
SOMEBODY, JOHN.

SHE CAN'T GO
ON LIKE THIS.

YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK WE CAN
GO ON LIKE THIS EITHER.

WHY DON'T WE
JUST GO AWAY?

BERMUDA OR
SOMEWHERE?

YOUR TIMING
IS BEAUTIFUL.

WHAT ARE WE GOING
TO DO ABOUT ELLEN?

WHAT'S HAPPENED?

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

ELLEN TELL ME.

THE POLICE.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

THR--THROAT IS--
IS CUT.

WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

A DEAD GIRL IN THE
W--WINDOW NOW.

A DEAD--

A DEAD GIRL
IN THE WINDOW.

GIRL KILLED.

THERE IS NOTHING THERE.

IN MY HOUSE.

ELLEN, IT IS
NOT YOUR HOUSE.

SOMEBODY'S DOING SOMETHING.

ELLEN.

COME ON, YOU CAN'T SIT DOWN
THERE.

PLEASE GET UP.

COME TO BED, DARLING.

OH, MY GOD.

TRY NOT TO
THINK ABOUT IT.

OH, HELLO, TONY?

JOHN WHEELER.

IT'S ELLEN AGAIN.

I'M AFRAID SO.

WELL, NOW SHE THINKS
SHE'S SEEN THE BODY

OF A MURDERED WOMAN.

NO.

NO, WE'VE GIVEN
HER A SEDATIVE.

SHE'S SLEEPING NOW.

YES, BUT--I'D APPRECIATE IT IF
YOU COULD COME 'ROUND

FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.

YES, I WILL.

THANK YOU.

GOOD NIGHT.

A BUSINESS TRIP
TO SPAIN, HE SAID.

BUT IT WAS MR.
AND MRS.

AT A SEASIDE HOTEL
NEAR BRIGHTON.

THE STUFF IN HIS SUITCASE
WOULD--WOULD'VE DRESSED

EVERY WHORE IN PARIS.

SHE WAS HALF-NAKED,
AND HE--HIS--HIS...

CLOTHES WERE OPEN.

AND HER HEAD
WAS IN HIS LAP.

HER NECK WAS BROKEN, BUT HER
FACE WAS UNMARKED.

BLONDE.

ONLY A CHILD, DEAD, AND SHE WAS

SMILING AT ME.

CARL.

IN THE MORTUARY,

THEY TRIED TO MAKE
THEM DECENT; HIDE IT

FROM THE LOVING WIFE.

THEY COULDN'T EVEN KEEP

THEIR HANDS OFF
EACH OTHER AT 80

MILES AN HOUR.

THERE WAS MORE LIPSTICK ON HIS
CLOTHES THAN BLOOD.

YES!

YES!

YES, HE
IS MY HUSBAND.

HE BETRAYED ME!

THAT'S THE THING I CAN NEVER GET
OVER, NEVER!

IT WAS A LONG TIME
AGO, ELLEN.

A VERY
LONG TIME AGO.

IT SEEMED TO MATTER
MORE THAN HIS DEATH.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

PRESCRIPTION.

YOU'VE NEARLY
FINISHED THOSE.

WHAT IS IT FOR?

TRANQUILIZERS.

I THINK SOMEBODY
IS SWITCHING THEM.

I THINK I'M BEING POISONED.

THOSE DON'T MAKE ME CALM.

THEY MAKE ME FEEL ILL.

SOMEBODY IS DOING SOMETHING.

WHO DO YOU THINK MIGHT
BE DOING SOMETHING?

JOHN?

OH, NO.

I'M NOT PARANOID.

YOU--YOU CAN'T MAKE OUT THAT I'M
PARANOID.

SARAH?

SARAH!

W--WE WENT
TO SCHOOL TOGETHER.

WE'RE BEST FRIENDS.

SISTERS.

WHY, SHE--

SHE WAS MY
MATRON OF HONOR

WHEN I MARRIED CARL.

ELLEN, ARE THERE ANY OTHER
REASONS WHY YOU

SHOULD HAVE CARL SO MUCH ON YOUR
MIND LATELY?

I AM BEING MADE
TO THINK OF CARL.

W--WHY DO YOU THINK
I FOUND HIS LIGHTER

AND CUFFLINKS
IN THAT DRAWER?

H--TH--THINGS ARE HAPPENING THAT
YOU

SIMPLY CANNOT EXPLAIN
BY MY STATE OF MIND.

CAN'T YOU SEE THAT?

I'M NOT TRYING TO SEE ANYTHING
AT THE MOMENT.

I'M JUST LISTENING.

NO.

YOU'RE BEING BLIND
AND STUPID.

STUPID!

THERE WAS A DEAD
BODY IN THAT HOUSE.

THERE'VE BEEN
TWO DEAD BODIES

IN THAT HOUSE, AND
THERE'S SOMEONE

OVER THERE NOW
WATCHING ME.

ALL THE TIME,
WATCHING ME.

ELLEN, PLEASE NOW,
TAKE IT EASY.

CALM DOWN.

COME
AND SIT DOWN.

COME AND SIT DOWN
AND LISTEN TO ME.

I DON'T WANT TO LISTEN
TO ANYONE ANYMORE.

YOU TRUST ME,
DON'T YOU?

OF COURSE I
TRUST YOU, TONY.

THEN LISTEN TO ME.

FOR YOUR OWN SAKE,

I DON'T WANT YOU TO
SPEND ANOTHER NIGHT

IN THIS HOUSE.

IF THERE IS A MURDERER, THEN YOU
SHOULD LEAVE

FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY.

IF THERE ISN'T, THEN YOU MUST

STILL GO AWAY
FOR A REST.

YOU MEAN A CLINIC.

I KNOW AN EXCELLENT PLACE,
IT'S MORE LIKE A HOTEL

THAN A CLINIC,
MOST OF MY PATIENTS

HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH IT.

WOULD IT BE FOR LONG?

NO, NO.

YOU NEED--JUST NEED A REST.

CARE.

A MONTH OR TWO
AT THE MOST.

ALL RIGHT, TONY.

WHATEVER YOU SAY.

GOOD.

I'LL JUST GO AND HAVE A WORD
WITH JOHN.

I'LL BE BACK.

HOW IS SHE?

WELL, SHE'S NOT VERY
WELL, I'M AFRAID.

BUT I DID MANAGE TO PERSUADE HER
TO GO.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOMETHING
ABOUT HER BEHAVIOR

THAT
WASN'T THERE BEFORE.

YES, I KNOW.

ANYWAY, ONE THING
IS CERTAIN, JOHN.

SHE MUST NOT SPEND ONE MORE
NIGHT IN THIS HOUSE.

I KNOW A VERY GOOD
PLACE IN SWITZERLAND.

IT'S RUN BY A
GERMAN DOCTOR.

HIS PRICES ARE A
BIT STEEP, BUT HE'S

VERY WELL-QUALIFIED.

IF YOU CAN MAKE THE
ARRANGEMENTS,

I'LL MAKE SURE SHE'S ON THAT
PLANE TONIGHT.

GOOD.

I THINK IT'S ABSOLUTELY
NECESSARY.

INSPECTOR, TH--THERE--THERE'S A
DOCTOR HERE,

AND--AND THEY'RE PLANNING TO
SEND ME AWAY.

THAT'S WHY YOU'VE
GOT TO BELIEVE ME.

THERE'S--THERE'S BEEN ANOTHER
MURDER, A--A--

A YOUNG WOMAN.

YES, OF COURSE,
MRS. WHEELER.

YES, I'M WRITING IT DOWN.

SHE'S SEEN ANOTHER ONE.

WHEN WAS THIS,
MRS. WHEELER?

IT HAPPENED LAST
NIGHT.

I TOLD YOU.

YOU'RE THE ONLY
ONE I'VE GOT LEFT.

YOU--YOU'RE THE ONLY PERSON THAT
CAN HELP.

OH, WON'T YOU PLEASE SEARCH THAT
HOUSE AGAIN.

IT'S HOR--

HORRIBLE THAT--THAT

TH--THING LYING
OVER THERE.

PERHAPS YOU'D LIKE
TO SEARCH THE BUILDING

YOURSELF, MRS. WHEELER.

I CAN GIVE YOU THE NAME
OF THE OWNERS IF YOU LIKE.

W--WHO ARE THEY?

I--I TH--I THOUGHT THEY'D

G--GONE TO
SOUTH A--AFRICA.

IT, UH, IT WAS BOUGHT
SIX MONTHS AGO BY A

COMPANY CALLED DIPCO.

OF COURSE, THE ADDRESS.

IT'S 39, 39 ALT CROSS
ROAD, LONDON W1.

THANK YOU, INSPECTOR.

I SHALL GET IN TOUCH WITH THE
MANAGING DIRECTOR MYSELF,

AND I'LL HIRE A FIRM
OF PRIVATE DETECTIVES

TO GO THROUGH
THAT HOUSE.

BUT PRIVATE DETECTIVES ARE
REALLY NO GOOD, ARE THEY?

OH, WON'T YOU PLEASE COME
YOURSELF?

PLEASE.

PLEASE?

YES, MRS. WHEELER.

WE'LL BE OVER THERE
AS SOON AS WE CAN GET THERE.

OF COURSE.

Y--Y--LEAVE IT WITH ME, MRS.
WHEELER.

WE'VE GOT IT ALL
IN HAND, AND WE'LL

BE OVER THERE AS--
YES, INDEED.

BYE-BYE, MRS. WHEELER.

BYE-BYE, MRS. WHEELER.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
WE'D DO WITHOUT HER.

MAKE IT A
CUP OF TEA.

BE BACK AT NINE O'CLOCK AND
DON'T BE LATE.

MY WIFE'S GOT A
PLANE TO CATCH.

VERY GOOD, SIR.

FINISHED PACKING,
DARLING?

YES.

THE RAIN WON'T MATTER MUCH ONCE
YOU'RE

OFF THE GROUND.

YOU KNOW, IT'S AMAZING HOW
QUICKLY YOU CAN LEAVE

THIS ENGLISH SOUP BEHIND
AND HAVE NOTHING

BUT THE STARS
FOR COMPANY.

IS SARAH JOINING US?

YES, I THINK SO.

WE CAN'T HAVE A FAREWELL SCENE
WITHOUT SARAH.

YOU DON'T MIND HER COMING WITH
US, DO YOU, DARLING?

HER PLANE LEAVES HALF
AN HOUR AFTER YOURS.

NOT AT ALL.

DARLING, W--BEFORE SHE COMES,
YOU WOULDN'T MIND

SIGNING THESE PAPERS, WOULD YOU?

WHAT ARE THEY?

OH, TAX MATTERS
FOR THE MOST PART.

YOU KNOW, ONE SPENDS MORE TIME
PAYING TAXES

IN THIS COUNTRY
THAN MAKING MONEY.

AND THE OTHERS?

SHARE TRANSFERS.

PURELY TECHNICAL.

I HAD THEM PREPARED
BY YOUR ACCOUNTANT

AND LAWYER
THIS AFTERNOON.

THESE?

POWER OF ATTORNEY
OF SOME OF OUR JOINT

HOLDINGS, ONES
THAT ARE IN FLUX.

THINGS I MIGHT HAVE
TO MAKE A QUICK DECISION

ON WITHOUT THE TIME
TO CONSULT YOU.

JOHN?

YES?

ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT ME TO GO
THROUGH WITH THIS?

WITH WHAT, DARLING?

GOING AWAY.

I DON'T WANT TO.

IT'S FOR THE BEST.

GLAXO, IDV,
HARMON DEVELOPMENTS,

DIPCO COM--DIPCO.

I DIDN'T KNOW WE'D
BOUGHT INTO THAT.

WHEN?

WHEN WAS IT NOW?

UM, OH, OFFHAND, I CAN'T
REMEMBER.

I'D HAVE TO CHECK BACK WITH YOUR
ACCOUNTANT

IN THE MORNING.

I'VE SEEN THEIR STATEMENTS,
THEY SEEM TO BE DOING

TERRIBLY WELL.

WAS ANYTHING
THE MATTER?

NO.

I NEED A PEN.

OH, HERE YOU ARE.

ON THE NUMBER ONE LINE.

UH, HAVE YOU SEEN DOLORES?

I WANTED
TO SAY GOOD-BYE TO HER.

WELL, DON'T YOU
REMEMBER?

SHE LEFT TODAY.

YOU FIRED HER.

DID I?

SARAH TOLD ME YOU HAD.

THAT'S ODD.

I--

I DON'T REMEMBER.

BUT THAT'S WHY I'M GOING
TO SWITZERLAND, ISN'T IT?

RIGHT, I'M ALL SET.
MY BAGS ARE IN THE HALL.

HERE YOU ARE.
I'VE BROUGHT YOU A TRANQUILIZER.

I KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE FLYING ANY
MORE THAN I DO.

THANK YOU.

THERE
YOU ARE, JOHN.

THANK YOU.

I'LL GO AND GET YOUR BAGS
DOWNSTAIRS.

COME ON.

WHERE'S THE
TRANQUILIZER?

IN THERE.

I DISSOLVED IT.

YOU KNOW I DON'T LIKE
TO TAKE THEM THAT WAY.

WELL, IT'S THE LAST ONE IN THE
BOTTLE.

IT WAS FLAKEY.

I'VE TAKEN SO MANY PILLS.

PERHAPS THE LAST ONE
IN THE BOTTLE

IS THE ONE
I SHOULDN'T TAKE.

YOU'LL NEED IT
LATER, ELLEN.

UH, H--HOW LONG WILL
IT TAKE YOU TO GET

TO GLASGOW?

HOUR AND A HALF.

BY WAY OF BERMUDA?

DON'T LOOK SO SURPRISED.

I FOUND YOUR TICKET
AMONGST YOUR THINGS.

I'VE GIVEN UP THE JOB.

I SUPPOSE I WAS

TOO EMBARRASSED
TO TELL YOU THAT I--

I'VE DECIDED TO GO
AWAY WITH BARRY.

WHY SHOULD YOU BE?

I SUPPOSE IT'S BECAUSE
I'VE ALWAYS MADE

SUCH FUN OF HIM.

I'M SORRY I LIED TO YOU.

A LIE IS SUCH A
SMALL BETRAYAL.

WELL, THAT'S DONE.

THE CAR SHOULDN'T
BE TOO LONG.

PLENTY OF TIME TO HAVE ONE
FOR THE ROAD.

I HOPE YOU'LL
BE VERY HAPPY.

ELLEN, YOU'RE SHAKING.

NOW, DON'T BE SILLY.

COME ON, NOW.
DRINK THIS.

ISN'T SHE CONSIDERATE?

THINKING OF MY WELFARE
EVEN NOW.

MY
OLD COMPANION.

MY DEAR FRIEND.

DOESN'T SHE DO IT WELL?

SHE'S VERY FOND OF YOU.

OH, AND OF YOU, TOO.

OH, I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT THAT.

YOU KNOW VERY WELL.

ARE YOU BARRY?

ARE YOU THE LOVER
SHE'S BEEN MEETING?

NOW, DON'T BE ABSURD,
HOW COULD I--

HOW COULD YOU
INDEED!

PLAY THE OLDEST AND DIRTIEST
TRICK OF ALL.

ELLEN, I SWEAR TO YOU,
OF COURSE I'M FOND

OF HER JUST
AS YOU ARE!

GOD, HOW YOU MUST HATE ME, JOHN.

TO SIT HERE WITH THAT WOMAN IN
THE SAME ROOM WITH ME

HOLDING THAT SECRET
OVER ME LIKE A KNIFE.

LOVING ME, PITYING ME.

KNOWING ALL THE TIME
I WAS MAKING

A GODDAMN FOOL OF MYSELF!

SHE MEANS NOTHING
TO ME.

I LOVE YOU!

DOES THAT MAKE IT
BETTER OR WORSE?

ELLEN, YOU'RE IMAGINING ALL THIS
AS WELL.

KEEP AWAY FROM ME.

I HAD YOU FOLLOWED.

I KNOW.

AND EVERY NIGHT,
I MADE YOU TELL YOUR

FILTHY LIE, AND NOW I'M
TO DRINK THAT SO I GO

TO SLEEP AND
NEVER WAKE UP.

MY BODY'S TO BE LEFT
IN THAT OLD HOUSE,

DARK AND BOARDED UP.

ELLEN!

I FOUND HER TICKET,
WHERE'S YOURS?

THIS IS MADNESS!

IT IS NOT!

PLEASE CALM DOWN!

IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL
PLAN, WASN'T IT?

YOU WORKED IT OUT
TOGETHER IN BED

IN THE LONG AFTERNOONS
IN SOME STINKING CHEAP HOTEL.

WELL, SHE'S HALF MAD ALREADY.

ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS JUST PUSH
HER OVER THE EDGE.

YOU KNEW ABOUT
CARL'S THINGS.

JOHN, YOU BETTER
RING TONY.

WE CAN'T DO
ANY MORE.

NOTHING YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY
DONE.

IT WAS CRUEL OF
YOU TO USE CARL.

EVEN TO MAKE ME
THINK IT WAS CARL.

IT WAS ALWAYS CARL.

CARL IN YOUR IMAGINATION,

CARL IN YOUR
DREAMS.

NEVER ME,
THAT'S YOUR SICKNESS.

THAT'S WHY
YOU'RE GOING AWAY,

TO GET OVER THAT, FINALLY AND
FOREVER.

SARAH IS NOT IMPORTANT
TO ME.

PLEASE BELIEVE ME.

YOU LIAR!

YOU LIE!

THERE IS NO PLOT
AGAINST YOU!

LIAR!

WHAT'S THIS, THEN?

I FOUND THIS KEY TODAY

IN YOUR DESK, AND
THE LABEL SAYS DIPCO.

WE OWN THAT COMPANY, AND THAT
COMPANY

OWNS THAT OLD HOUSE!

I FOUND THAT OUT
FROM INSPECTOR WALKER.

I DON'T KNOW HOW IT GOT THERE!

I DON'T KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

YOU BOUGHT THAT HOUSE
TO DRIVE ME MAD!

AND THIS IS HOW YOU'VE BEEN
DOING IT!

IT ISN'T TRUE.

IT ISN'T EVEN POSSIBLE!

WELL, LET'S FIND OUT.

LET'S FIND OUT
RIGHT NOW!

JOHN! JOHN, DON'T GO,
SHE'S MAD!

JOHN!
JOHN!

I'VE GOT TO STOP HER!

SOMEONE COULD GET HURT,
LET ME GET A DOCTOR!

YOU--JOHN!

JOHN!

JOHN, DON'T DO IT!

JOHN!

JOHN!

SHE--

JOHN?

ELLEN?

ELLEN?

ELLEN?

WHERE ARE YOU?

WHAT THE HELL!

JOHN!

JOHN!

FOR GOD'S SAKE!

JOHN!

JOHN!

OH, MY GOD.

OH, MY GOD!

INSPECTOR WALKER,
PLEASE.

INSPECTOR WALKER SPEAKING.

INSPECTOR, YOU--YOU--
YOU DIDN'T SEND ANYONE

AND YOU PROMISED TO!

I--I--I HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL--

Y--Y--YES, I--I--I AM.

I--I--I'M--I'M GOING

IN A FEW MINUTES.

INSPECTOR, THERE'RE

TWO BODIES IN--IN
THAT BUILDING NOW,

A MAN AND A--AND
A WOMAN SITTING S--

SIDE BY SIDE WITH TH--
THEIR TH--THROATS CUT.

YES, I--I KNOW, BUT YOU MUST
BELIEVE ME THIS TIME.

PLEASE.

W--WON'T YOU IN--INS--INSPECT
THAT HOUSE

JUST ONCE MORE?

THEN--THEN SOMEONE
ELSE.

I ALWAYS THOUGHT
YOU'D SAY THAT.

BRAVO!

BRAVO!

SUPERB.

SUPERB PERFORMANCE.

PLAN COMPLETE IN
EVERY LAST DETAIL.

PITY YOU HAD TO INCLUDE
MY VIBURNUMS.

SORRY ABOUT THAT.

HOW NICELY YOU'VE
DONE THE HOUSE.

THIS WAS THREE ROOMS WHEN I WAS
A CHILD.

BEAUTIFUL.

QUITE BEAUTIFUL.

I DO LOVE
INDIAN ART.

EROTIC.

VIOLENT.

SO CHARMING.

WILL YOU BE
AWAY LONG?

AT THE MOMENT,
THAT SEEMS TO DEPEND

ON YOU,
MR. APPLEBY.

OH, MRS.
WHEELER, INSPECTOR WALKER

WOULDN'T BELIEVE
ME EITHER.

I DO ADMIRE YOU.

HOW MANY ABANDONED WIVES

OR CUCKOLDS
FOR THAT MATTER

WOULD'VE HAD
YOUR COURAGE?

I, MYSELF,
DID NOTHING.

IT'S A GREAT FAVOR
TO ASK YOU,

BUT SINCE YOU'RE SO
FOND OF THIS HOUSE--

YES?

WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE
FOR YOU TO TAKE CARE

OF IT WHILE I'M AWAY?

AND THE, UH, GARDEN
TOO, OF COURSE.

IT'LL BE A PLEASURE.

I'LL SEE THAT NOTHING'S
DISTURBED.

THANK YOU,
MR. APPLEBY.

THANK YOU,
MRS. WHEELER.

OH, WOULD YOU
BE SO KIND?

OF COURSE.

THANKS.

GOODBYE,
MR. APPLEBY

GOODBYE,
MRS. WHEELER.
