3
00:00:44,019 --> 00:00:45,907
No, no, no. Please, please.
4
00:00:45,907 --> 00:00:48,759
No, no.
You mustn't go in there, please.
5
00:00:48,759 --> 00:00:50,647
Listen to what I'm saying.
6
00:00:51,290 --> 00:00:53,298
Please listen to me.
No, please, please.

00:01:03,662 --> 00:01:05,730
Caterham, my dear chap,
I wouldn't ask,
10
00:01:06,433 --> 00:01:10,149
only it's a matter of
considerable national importance.
11
00:01:10,229 --> 00:01:11,936
Isn't it always?
12
00:01:12,740 --> 00:01:15,973
We've had the most tremendous
approach from Vienna.
13
00:01:15,973 --> 00:01:17,037
Go on.
14
00:01:17,037 --> 00:01:19,488
Now the Austrians
are a nice neutral bunch,
15
00:01:19,488 --> 00:01:22,259
they're very keen to be friends
with us Brits.
16
00:01:22,561 --> 00:01:24,248
- What's the offer?
- Iron ore.
17
00:01:24,328 --> 00:01:26,959
We go in, help them put their heavy
industry back on its feet,
18
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,208
take home all the iron ore we need.
19
00:01:29,812 --> 00:01:32,433
The PM can scarcely believe his luck.
20
00:01:31,177 --> 00:01:33,105
Anyway, Vienna's sending over
an envoy.
21
00:01:33,105 --> 00:01:34,872
Count Ludwig.
22
00:01:34,872 --> 00:01:38,326
I've been tasked with sitting
the Count down, putting pen to paper
23
00:01:38,326 --> 00:01:40,576
and getting him to sign the contract.
24
00:01:41,178 --> 00:01:44,231
Somewhere green and pleasant
and, above all, discreet.
25
00:01:44,231 --> 00:01:46,280
And you thought of Chimneys?
26
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,368
Well, you know,
a weekend house party.
27
00:01:48,368 --> 00:01:50,417
Good food, decent cellar.
28
00:01:50,417 --> 00:01:54,112
Just like the old days, eh?
What do you say? Do the ayes have it?
29
00:01:54,112 --> 00:01:57,687
Well, actually, I was thinking of
going on holiday next month.
30
00:01:57,687 --> 00:02:00,419
Oh, nonsense.
Nobody goes on holiday in September.
31
00:02:00,419 --> 00:02:03,431
Besides, we're practically family
you and I.
32
00:02:03,431 --> 00:02:06,283
Once we bring that girl of yours to
her senses.
33
00:02:09,095 --> 00:02:12,148
We're not as we were.
The house is in some disrepair.
34
00:02:12,148 --> 00:02:15,442
Perfect. Faded grandeur.
Adds to the flavour.
35
00:02:16,486 --> 00:02:18,494
It'll need to be low-key.
36
00:02:18,494 --> 00:02:21,748
Indeed so. Intimate. Discreet.
37
00:02:21,748 --> 00:02:24,359
One or two guests,
sensitively chosen.
38
00:02:25,283 --> 00:02:28,617
Of course, these continentals
are such fearful snobs.
39
00:02:28,617 --> 00:02:31,388
I'll send my best chap round
to help with the setting up.
40
00:02:31,388 --> 00:02:33,356
Bill Eversleigh. Yours to serve.
41
00:02:33,959 --> 00:02:35,927
How do you do?
42
00:02:37,012 --> 00:02:41,310
But why Chimneys?
It's years since we gave a party.
43
00:02:41,310 --> 00:02:43,800
Decades. Not since '32.
44
00:02:44,603 --> 00:02:46,491
Show him the letter.
45
00:02:46,491 --> 00:02:48,460
- The...?
- From Count Ludwig.
46
00:02:54,967 --> 00:02:56,935
Here we are.
47
00:02:57,457 --> 00:02:59,345
Fourth para.
48
00:02:59,345 --> 00:03:01,273
Halfway down.
49
00:03:01,273 --> 00:03:04,366
I have heard that Chimneys
is the most prized house...
50
00:03:04,366 --> 00:03:06,415
COUNT: ..in old England,
51
00:03:06,415 --> 00:03:08,825
and would count it a singular honour
52
00:03:08,825 --> 00:03:11,677
to see that jewelled palace for
myself.
53
00:03:12,841 --> 00:03:16,698
It is a memory I am most eager to
cherish.
54
00:03:34,853 --> 00:03:36,942
Sorry to drop in unannounced.
55
00:03:36,942 --> 00:03:39,513
If you're gentle with me
then I'll be gentle with you.
56
00:03:39,513 --> 00:03:40,638
Agh!
57
00:03:45,377 --> 00:03:46,743
Help!
58
00:04:03,373 --> 00:04:05,381
Never, ever...
59
00:04:07,711 --> 00:04:09,679
..touch mother's bicycle again.
60
00:04:10,723 --> 00:04:13,535
Are you all right? Can you stand?
61
00:04:13,816 --> 00:04:16,226
- Oh, yes, I...
- Well, that's the main thing.
62
00:04:16,226 --> 00:04:18,958
Once you're up on your pins,
then life seems so...
63
00:04:21,368 --> 00:04:23,376
Full of possibility.
64
00:04:24,099 --> 00:04:25,826
Indeed.
65
00:04:28,116 --> 00:04:32,414
Not that I was purely concerned about
poor mother's bicycle, you understand.
66
00:04:33,177 --> 00:04:35,145
Well, I should hope not.
67
00:04:35,748 --> 00:04:38,158
I think the chap got the message,
don't you?
68
00:04:42,978 --> 00:04:45,710
And there he was,
galloping in to save me on his iron horse.
69
00:04:45,710 --> 00:04:49,405
I mean it really was
the most idiotically chivalrous...
70
00:04:49,405 --> 00:04:50,972
What?
71
00:04:50,972 --> 00:04:52,418
Virginia.
72
00:04:52,418 --> 00:04:55,229
You are as absurdly romantic
as your dear mother.
73
00:04:55,229 --> 00:04:56,635
Oh, no. No, no, no.
74
00:04:56,635 --> 00:04:58,965
Woof woof. Wrong tree. If you
honestly...
75
00:04:58,965 --> 00:05:01,014
He couldn't be more unsuitable.
76
00:05:01,014 --> 00:05:02,660
No cash, no prospects.
77
00:05:02,660 --> 00:05:04,588
Oh, well, then.
Yes, quite.
78
00:05:04,588 --> 00:05:06,677
Case closed.
79
00:05:06,677 --> 00:05:10,292
And, anyway, he's been quite
standoffish with me this past week.
80
00:05:10,694 --> 00:05:12,984
I expect he's bored of me. Don't you?
81
00:05:12,984 --> 00:05:14,952
Oh, yes. Does he have a name?
82
00:05:15,835 --> 00:05:19,531
Sir Anthony Cade.
Only without the knighthood.
83
00:05:30,296 --> 00:05:32,826
Oh, dear. I was just thinking.
84
00:05:33,349 --> 00:05:35,317
Your poor MP.
85
00:05:36,683 --> 00:05:39,173
George Lomax won't be
the least bit put off.
86
00:05:39,173 --> 00:05:40,780
On the contrary.
87
00:05:40,780 --> 00:05:42,386
Not another ultimatum?
88
00:05:42,386 --> 00:05:45,600
I have until Sunday night
to consent to be Mrs George Lomax.
89
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,849
Or what?
He invades Poland, I suppose.
90
00:05:48,894 --> 00:05:50,942
Anyway, the terms are most generous.
91
00:05:51,987 --> 00:05:54,276
He'll put daddy up in a mansion flat
in town,
92
00:05:54,276 --> 00:05:56,807
which is all he wants
since Mama passed away.
93
00:05:56,807 --> 00:05:59,337
And he'll even pay
to stop Chimneys from falling apart,
94
00:05:59,337 --> 00:06:02,028
which I suppose is jolly good
for the family.
95
00:06:02,028 --> 00:06:03,916
If you marry him.
96
00:06:03,916 --> 00:06:06,447
I should be more grateful, obviously.
97
00:06:07,250 --> 00:06:12,472
Well, I'm not sure gratitude
is the basis for a happy marriage.
98
00:06:13,637 --> 00:06:16,730
Well, no, no.
Not that I am any sort of expert.
99
00:06:16,730 --> 00:06:21,630
No, Mummy always said you were
the most eminently sensible of all
her cousins.
100
00:06:22,193 --> 00:06:25,326
Well, she certainly made a splendid
marriage.
101
00:06:26,089 --> 00:06:28,660
It should be so simple, shouldn't it,
being happy?
102
00:06:29,423 --> 00:06:31,632
I mean, one ought to see it,
and just know.
103
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,778
Well, now that I've got you here
we are going to have a riot, you and I.
104
00:06:38,461 --> 00:06:40,670
- Are you game?
- Well, I'll do my best.
105
00:06:43,622 --> 00:06:44,908
Well!
106
00:06:46,956 --> 00:06:51,013
Are you quite sure it's all right
with your father, having me along?
107
00:06:51,013 --> 00:06:53,102
Oh, Daddy's thrilled.
108
00:06:53,102 --> 00:06:55,271
And, anyway, you've had me down
to St Mary Mead.
109
00:06:55,271 --> 00:06:57,279
It's only fair I return the favour.
110
00:06:57,601 --> 00:06:59,930
Here, look. Page 17.
111
00:07:00,854 --> 00:07:02,742
Isn't he a dish?
112
00:07:05,715 --> 00:07:07,321
Anthony Cade.
113
00:07:08,687 --> 00:07:10,535
Some passing whim.
114
00:07:11,579 --> 00:07:14,913
Virginia is innocent, easily led.
It's all part of her charm.
115
00:07:20,778 --> 00:07:23,228
- Yes, Treadwell?
- Your guest has arrived, sir.
116
00:07:23,228 --> 00:07:25,156
Already?
117
00:07:25,156 --> 00:07:27,486
Shoulders back. Cometh the hour.
118
00:07:27,767 --> 00:07:29,775
Watch and learn.
119
00:07:30,418 --> 00:07:32,667
Letters for posting on his Lordship's
table.
120
00:07:32,667 --> 00:07:34,796
Send them express,
if you'd be so kind.
121
00:07:38,130 --> 00:07:39,616
Count Ludwig!
122
00:07:44,878 --> 00:07:46,606
Oh, look.
123
00:07:46,606 --> 00:07:48,775
He's practically licking his shoes.
124
00:07:48,775 --> 00:07:52,229
The Count might think it's some sort
of quaint British custom.
125
00:07:53,635 --> 00:07:55,603
(Laughter)
126
00:07:57,451 --> 00:07:59,419
(Speaks German awkwardly)
127
00:08:03,797 --> 00:08:05,926
A little early
but so much the better.
128
00:08:11,249 --> 00:08:13,478
Indeed, a lovely house, yes.
129
00:08:13,679 --> 00:08:15,747
He seems like he's from another age.
130
00:08:15,968 --> 00:08:18,057
I wonder if he speaks any English.
131
00:08:18,258 --> 00:08:21,290
How much English do you need
to sign a cheque?
132
00:08:21,391 --> 00:08:24,283
Me metal. You big, big dollars.
133
00:08:26,934 --> 00:08:28,400
Daddy!
134
00:08:28,641 --> 00:08:28,902
Virginia!
135
00:08:29,264 --> 00:08:30,810
I didn't hear you come in.
136
00:08:31,071 --> 00:08:32,618
Hello, Daddy!
137
00:08:33,502 --> 00:08:35,128
So sorry, darling.
138
00:08:35,168 --> 00:08:36,615
Ah, dear Jane.
139
00:08:37,016 --> 00:08:38,181
Clement.
140
00:08:38,743 --> 00:08:40,712
It's been... Well...
141
00:08:40,912 --> 00:08:43,584
Yes, not since the funeral.
142
00:08:44,005 --> 00:08:47,460
You've been so kind to my daughter
since we lost Madeleine.
143
00:08:47,761 --> 00:08:49,529
How's your garden?
144
00:08:49,227 --> 00:08:51,356
Hardly thriving, I'm afraid.
145
00:08:51,838 --> 00:08:54,851
Daddy, you might have made a bit of
an effort.
146
00:08:54,851 --> 00:08:58,145
Oh, pay no attention to me.
I'm just the odd-job man these days.
147
00:08:58,145 --> 00:09:02,242
Oh, look. I see you've invited that nice lady
from National Heritage.
148
00:09:03,165 --> 00:09:05,053
Hilda Blenkinsopp?
149
00:09:06,058 --> 00:09:08,066
No. No.
150
00:09:08,789 --> 00:09:10,195
Oh, no!
151
00:09:10,195 --> 00:09:13,810
Now, Bundle, don't get cross.
She was very keen to be invited...
152
00:09:13,810 --> 00:09:15,778
She's banned. We agreed.
153
00:09:15,778 --> 00:09:19,112
Yes, but the National Heritage
have made a very sensible offer.
154
00:09:19,112 --> 00:09:22,326
Chimneys has been in the family
for centuries. It is family.
155
00:09:22,326 --> 00:09:25,941
Yes, but, darling, you know we can't
afford to keep the place on.
156
00:09:25,941 --> 00:09:28,833
We will manage. We always do.
157
00:09:31,926 --> 00:09:33,894
Well, she's on good form.
158
00:09:35,099 --> 00:09:41,004
National Heritage has taken on
13 homes and gardens in the county.
159
00:09:41,546 --> 00:09:43,876
High society, Eversleigh.
What did I say?
160
00:09:43,876 --> 00:09:46,728
Embellish the scene, sir.
Embellish the scene.
161
00:09:46,728 --> 00:09:48,856
Scientists. Captains of industry...
162
00:09:48,856 --> 00:09:51,267
What do you bring me?
Mrs Mop and Mrs Bucket.
163
00:09:51,990 --> 00:09:55,564
Caterham says they're both first
class if you get a bit of gin down them.
164
00:09:55,564 --> 00:09:57,493
- Oh, does he?
- Problem?
165
00:09:57,493 --> 00:09:59,340
Not at all.
166
00:09:59,340 --> 00:10:02,112
Very diverse guest list.
167
00:10:02,514 --> 00:10:04,401
Good. Well, I should join in.
168
00:10:07,615 --> 00:10:09,663
(Chuckles)
169
00:10:09,663 --> 00:10:11,632
Was this your doing?
170
00:10:12,756 --> 00:10:14,966
George will have to take us
as he finds us.
171
00:10:15,327 --> 00:10:17,255
- What?
- Marry me.
172
00:10:21,272 --> 00:10:22,316
Bill.
173
00:10:24,003 --> 00:10:26,092
Never propose on an empty stomach.
174
00:10:27,016 --> 00:10:29,064
Ask me again after supper.
175
00:10:29,064 --> 00:10:31,033
Don't you have to be somewhere?
176
00:10:44,328 --> 00:10:46,296
Sultry, isn't it?
177
00:10:47,622 --> 00:10:49,590
What have you done to your hair?
178
00:10:50,032 --> 00:10:51,799
Not a thing.
179
00:10:51,799 --> 00:10:53,969
Sweet of you to notice, darling.
180
00:10:53,969 --> 00:10:57,785
You haven't forgotten that you
promised me an answer by Sunday night?
181
00:10:58,508 --> 00:11:00,476
The clock is ticking.
182
00:11:05,256 --> 00:11:07,144
(Waltz)
183
00:11:08,108 --> 00:11:12,566
Forgive me,
but you all looked so perfect.
184
00:11:12,566 --> 00:11:15,137
Like you had stepped out of
a photograph.
185
00:11:15,137 --> 00:11:18,551
Count Ludwig, allow me to introduce
Clement Revel,
186
00:11:18,551 --> 00:11:20,520
Ninth Marquis of Caterham.
187
00:11:21,082 --> 00:11:23,532
- How do you do?
- The honour is entirely mine.
188
00:11:24,295 --> 00:11:26,183
Gnädige, Damen.
189
00:11:26,866 --> 00:11:29,638
And these are your two little Revels?
190
00:11:31,084 --> 00:11:32,811
Would you indulge a fading guest?
191
00:11:32,811 --> 00:11:34,900
Why not?
192
00:11:34,900 --> 00:11:38,916
I've two left feet.
So why don't you try her?
193
00:11:38,916 --> 00:11:41,166
Because everyone else seems to.
194
00:11:51,047 --> 00:11:53,015
Oh, for a sense of rhythm.
195
00:11:53,859 --> 00:11:55,907
Such a graceful dancer.
196
00:11:55,907 --> 00:11:57,876
Well, they all are, aren't they?
197
00:11:58,277 --> 00:12:01,571
Still, hardly the most practical
accomplishment.
198
00:12:02,455 --> 00:12:04,423
Is this your first visit to our
shores?
199
00:12:04,423 --> 00:12:07,797
No, I am an inveterate itinerant,
I'm afraid.
200
00:12:07,797 --> 00:12:10,609
Or I was, once upon a time.
(Laughs)
201
00:12:11,412 --> 00:12:13,180
Now you are laughing at me.
202
00:12:13,180 --> 00:12:15,148
No, no, no, it's just your English.
203
00:12:15,710 --> 00:12:16,996
Splendid.
204
00:12:16,996 --> 00:12:19,285
I had a highly disciplined teacher,
you see.
205
00:12:19,285 --> 00:12:21,776
She taught me only tongue-twisters.
206
00:12:22,740 --> 00:12:25,109
Inveterate itinerant.
207
00:12:25,109 --> 00:12:26,957
BOTH: Inveterate itinerant.
208
00:12:26,957 --> 00:12:29,006
Inveterate itinerant!
209
00:12:29,006 --> 00:12:31,175
LOMAX: Enough, I think...
210
00:12:31,175 --> 00:12:33,424
Your dinner is getting cold.
211
00:12:33,424 --> 00:12:35,392
Very good.
212
00:12:44,069 --> 00:12:47,523
- Bundle, will you lead on?
- Yes, of course.
213
00:12:47,523 --> 00:12:49,933
Miss Blenkinsopp, after you.
214
00:12:50,375 --> 00:12:52,343
Follow me, ladies.
215
00:13:01,461 --> 00:13:03,430
Very good, you're with us.
216
00:13:08,049 --> 00:13:09,977
- Shall we?
- Oh.
217
00:13:24,437 --> 00:13:26,406
(Clock chimes)
218
00:13:29,619 --> 00:13:31,708
COUNT: A splendid dinner, thank you.
219
00:13:31,708 --> 00:13:33,234
Yes, very filling.
220
00:13:33,234 --> 00:13:37,371
Forgive my asking, sir.
Your interest in my house,
is it for architecture?
221
00:13:37,371 --> 00:13:41,830
No, no. I have no head for grand
design, for architecture.
222
00:13:42,995 --> 00:13:45,887
- Your paintings...
- We sold most of the decent ones.
223
00:13:45,887 --> 00:13:47,534
We still have our Van Dyck.
224
00:13:47,534 --> 00:13:49,542
So I see.
225
00:13:49,743 --> 00:13:52,354
- Who is this fellow?
- Some old duke.
226
00:13:53,318 --> 00:13:55,286
Richmond. Duke of.
227
00:13:56,210 --> 00:13:58,219
Richmond. Yes.
228
00:13:58,219 --> 00:14:03,119
So if it's not the art,
or the architecture, then...?
229
00:14:03,119 --> 00:14:05,087
Oh, the history.
230
00:14:05,529 --> 00:14:08,180
The great men rumoured to have met
within these walls.
231
00:14:08,180 --> 00:14:10,671
Treaties, affairs of state,
232
00:14:10,671 --> 00:14:15,330
wars, even, begun and ended here
over coffee and cigars.
233
00:14:15,330 --> 00:14:18,303
Oh, nothing so biblical,
I assure you.
234
00:14:18,945 --> 00:14:21,195
He's being modest, aren't you,
Caterham?
235
00:14:21,717 --> 00:14:23,645
Chimneys had quite a reputation.
236
00:14:24,850 --> 00:14:26,818
So what happened?
237
00:14:26,818 --> 00:14:29,590
- What was that?
- We ran into some bother.
238
00:14:30,674 --> 00:14:33,727
Oh, the party of 1932?
239
00:14:33,727 --> 00:14:35,454
Oh, that old yarn.
240
00:14:36,017 --> 00:14:39,752
Well, we'd come back from an embassy
posting. Caracas.
241
00:14:39,752 --> 00:14:41,761
It was my last one,
as it turned out.
242
00:14:41,761 --> 00:14:43,809
It was before Virginia was born.
243
00:14:43,809 --> 00:14:46,219
Anyway, it was quite a night.
244
00:14:46,219 --> 00:14:50,115
Your mother always gave wonderful
parties, with a band out in the garden.
245
00:14:50,115 --> 00:14:51,923
I remember the story, yes.
246
00:14:51,923 --> 00:14:54,172
You were there yourself,
weren't you, George?
247
00:14:54,172 --> 00:14:58,109
Helping out.
I was accompanying Lady Somerset.
248
00:14:58,430 --> 00:15:01,202
It was um...most instructive.
249
00:15:03,050 --> 00:15:05,098
Is this it here?
250
00:15:05,098 --> 00:15:07,669
- Yes.
- Where is that?
251
00:15:07,669 --> 00:15:09,677
- The rose garden.
- Ah.
252
00:15:09,677 --> 00:15:11,726
Our lovely Viennese waltz.
253
00:15:11,726 --> 00:15:13,734
♪ La da-da, da-da dum
254
00:15:13,734 --> 00:15:15,702
- Charming singing voice.
- Thank you.
255
00:15:15,702 --> 00:15:17,510
Anyway, there was a bit of a to-do
256
00:15:17,510 --> 00:15:22,210
because the Duchess of Somerset
had borrowed a large brooch for the evening.
257
00:15:22,210 --> 00:15:24,097
- On her...
- Large brooch?
258
00:15:24,097 --> 00:15:27,070
Daddy, it was the Mysore Diamond
from India,
259
00:15:27,070 --> 00:15:30,203
possibly the most revered diamond
in the world.
260
00:15:30,966 --> 00:15:34,983
Well, whatever it was,
by breakfast time it had disappeared.
261
00:15:34,983 --> 00:15:39,924
Stolen. By some good-for-nothing
parlour maid named Agnes.
262
00:15:41,008 --> 00:15:43,981
A parlour maid. What an English saga!
263
00:15:44,382 --> 00:15:47,314
The maid vanished overnight.
Isn't that right?
264
00:15:47,756 --> 00:15:50,970
And the diamond was never ever
to be found again.
265
00:15:50,970 --> 00:15:53,380
- Anyone for more coffee?
- Oh, yes, please.
266
00:15:54,143 --> 00:15:58,200
So what sort of girl was she,
this Agnes?
267
00:15:58,622 --> 00:16:00,590
Or did nobody notice?
268
00:16:01,112 --> 00:16:04,285
Well, only 19 years old.
She must have lost her head, I suppose.
269
00:16:04,928 --> 00:16:09,829
Anyway, it meant the end of my
career in the diplomatic service.
270
00:16:12,721 --> 00:16:14,689
All rather shameful.
271
00:16:16,818 --> 00:16:19,268
Well, if the ladies can spare us...?
272
00:16:20,192 --> 00:16:22,200
- To business.
- Indeed. Yes.
273
00:16:22,682 --> 00:16:24,651
I give you business.
274
00:16:25,092 --> 00:16:28,507
You want our iron, Mr Lomax, MP?
275
00:16:28,868 --> 00:16:31,600
Well, naturally.
276
00:16:32,805 --> 00:16:34,773
I make one request.
277
00:16:36,199 --> 00:16:37,223
Chimneys.
278
00:16:38,087 --> 00:16:40,939
Give me Chimneys as a personal
favour.
279
00:16:41,340 --> 00:16:46,663
And, in return, I guarantee you can
take home all the riches your heart desires.
280
00:16:46,843 --> 00:16:50,438
- Well, I'm not sure...
- We are not for sale.
281
00:16:51,001 --> 00:16:54,495
Not for sale. Tell them.
282
00:16:54,495 --> 00:16:57,106
Why don't you all try
a hand of bridge?
283
00:16:57,106 --> 00:16:58,793
- Oh, for God's sake.
- Yes.
284
00:17:08,875 --> 00:17:12,049
It seems to be in order.
285
00:17:12,772 --> 00:17:14,378
(Chimes)
286
00:17:14,941 --> 00:17:17,230
You're quite sure?
Absolutely.
287
00:17:17,230 --> 00:17:20,002
Very well. Then mark your cross...
288
00:17:20,002 --> 00:17:21,970
..here.
289
00:17:26,911 --> 00:17:29,441
Now, Count, if you'd be kind enough
to sign here.
290
00:17:29,441 --> 00:17:31,128
With great pleasure.
291
00:17:33,137 --> 00:17:36,149
(Rings bell) Mr Lomax! Sir!
292
00:17:37,515 --> 00:17:38,841
Jane!
What's happening?
293
00:17:38,841 --> 00:17:40,769
I don't know.
What time is it?
294
00:17:41,532 --> 00:17:43,781
If you'd all like to gather
downstairs...
295
00:17:46,392 --> 00:17:48,682
I'm sorry to have to wake you all up
296
00:17:48,682 --> 00:17:54,104
but one of Mr Lomax's security staff
was found unconscious. - Is that so?
297
00:17:54,104 --> 00:17:55,711
That's right, sir. Roberts.
298
00:17:55,711 --> 00:17:58,684
- All present and correct, Eversleigh?
- Indeed so.
299
00:17:58,684 --> 00:18:00,692
I believe we're one short.
300
00:18:00,692 --> 00:18:02,580
- The Count.
- Out for the count.
301
00:18:02,580 --> 00:18:05,472
That's no surprise, considering
how he was knocking it back.
302
00:18:05,472 --> 00:18:07,279
See if you can raise him.
303
00:18:07,279 --> 00:18:09,649
- He's not in his room, sir.
- What?
304
00:18:09,649 --> 00:18:12,381
Where is he?
Perhaps we need a search party.
305
00:18:13,104 --> 00:18:15,996
Indeed. Jaffers you and Roberts
seal off the back door.
306
00:18:15,996 --> 00:18:17,723
Bundle, the old servants' quarters.
307
00:18:17,723 --> 00:18:20,093
You and Miss Blenkinsopp,
the ground floor,
308
00:18:20,093 --> 00:18:22,142
and Virginia and I will look
upstairs.
309
00:18:22,142 --> 00:18:24,793
- Can't Virginia come with me?
- We don't have time for this.
310
00:18:24,793 --> 00:18:27,042
Why do you always undermine me?
311
00:18:27,042 --> 00:18:29,010
Will you two kindly desist?
312
00:18:29,693 --> 00:18:30,938
Thank you.
313
00:18:30,938 --> 00:18:35,116
Now, Virginia, can you run upstairs
and collect his medicine?
314
00:18:35,116 --> 00:18:38,450
Jane will remain here and keep an
eye on him. - Of course.
315
00:18:38,450 --> 00:18:41,583
The rest of us can just as well
look by ourselves. Agreed?
316
00:18:46,162 --> 00:18:48,130
I've brought your medicine.
317
00:18:48,853 --> 00:18:51,504
Thank God for my darling girls.
318
00:18:52,348 --> 00:18:53,432
Daddy?
319
00:18:53,432 --> 00:18:54,115
(Bang)
320
00:18:58,694 --> 00:19:00,221
George? Not now!
321
00:19:00,221 --> 00:19:02,992
- That sounded almost like...
- Was that a gunshot?
322
00:19:04,157 --> 00:19:06,125
Someone close that door!
323
00:19:12,472 --> 00:19:14,802
Well, where is he? Any sign?
324
00:19:14,802 --> 00:19:17,573
- Did you hear it?
- I think half the county heard it.
325
00:19:17,573 --> 00:19:21,148
He can't have just vanished.
Are there no doorways, no
outbuildings?
326
00:19:22,193 --> 00:19:24,482
- You don't think...?
- Our little door.
327
00:19:36,050 --> 00:19:38,019
Take that.
328
00:19:38,541 --> 00:19:41,152
Should be torches on the wall.
Help yourself.
329
00:19:41,152 --> 00:19:43,080
Come on, Jane.
330
00:19:54,969 --> 00:19:57,661
- What is that? Blood?
- Looks like it.
331
00:20:08,225 --> 00:20:10,153
Anthony?
332
00:20:10,153 --> 00:20:12,121
- I think he's been shot.
- What?
333
00:20:12,925 --> 00:20:14,250
Want.
334
00:20:14,973 --> 00:20:16,058
Want!
335
00:20:18,428 --> 00:20:20,235
Count Ludwig? Can you hear me?
336
00:20:20,235 --> 00:20:21,922
- Is he breathing?
- Check his pulse.
337
00:20:21,922 --> 00:20:23,890
Can you hear me?
338
00:20:24,694 --> 00:20:26,702
- It wasn't me.
- I can't find a pulse.
339
00:20:28,389 --> 00:20:31,321
- I think he's dead.
- It wasn't me!
340
00:20:41,765 --> 00:20:43,653
Virginia!
341
00:20:43,653 --> 00:20:45,943
Virginia! Virginia!
342
00:20:46,163 --> 00:20:46,886
(Bangs on door)
Virginia!
343
00:20:46,886 --> 00:20:49,256
He was such an enchanting man.
344
00:20:49,397 --> 00:20:51,365
And he was our guest.
345
00:20:52,570 --> 00:20:54,498
I'm sure there's a perfectly
innocent explanation.
346
00:20:55,944 --> 00:20:57,129
Virginia!
347
00:20:58,636 --> 00:21:00,644
- I should go to him.
- Don't you dare.
348
00:21:01,126 --> 00:21:02,652
Gin, come back.
349
00:21:06,388 --> 00:21:08,356
- Virginia!
- Anthony.
350
00:21:08,999 --> 00:21:10,646
- My love.
- Anthony!
351
00:21:10,646 --> 00:21:13,016
- You can't go in, miss.
- May I at least speak to him?
352
00:21:13,016 --> 00:21:15,707
- I'm sorry, miss.
- Oh, please. Please.
353
00:21:19,925 --> 00:21:22,455
Anthony,
what are you even doing here?
354
00:21:22,455 --> 00:21:24,423
Virginia...
355
00:21:24,664 --> 00:21:26,432
You must promise me something.
356
00:21:27,436 --> 00:21:28,761
Anything.
357
00:21:28,761 --> 00:21:31,212
Please...promise me
you'll forget me.
358
00:21:33,742 --> 00:21:35,269
Anthony?
359
00:21:35,269 --> 00:21:37,237
You're scaring me.
360
00:21:38,201 --> 00:21:39,767
Anthony.
361
00:21:46,877 --> 00:21:48,042
Finch.
362
00:21:48,484 --> 00:21:51,537
Thank God. Good to see you again.
363
00:21:51,537 --> 00:21:55,553
Inspector Finch.
The guru of Scotland Yard.
364
00:21:55,553 --> 00:21:57,401
Finch?
365
00:21:57,401 --> 00:21:59,651
He looks quite like a cat,
don't you think?
366
00:22:03,868 --> 00:22:05,636
(Shouts) I loathe cats.
367
00:22:05,636 --> 00:22:06,841
Ssh!
368
00:22:08,728 --> 00:22:11,942
I gather he has devotees
all over the Home Office.
369
00:22:12,504 --> 00:22:14,432
They regard him as some sort of
mystic.
370
00:22:14,432 --> 00:22:17,565
A bit like Julian of Norwich,
only with powers of arrest.
371
00:22:18,529 --> 00:22:20,096
What do we know of the victim?
372
00:22:20,096 --> 00:22:22,185
Born Vienna, 1892.
373
00:22:22,185 --> 00:22:25,438
Wealthy parents. Travelled about
a good deal in his youth.
374
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,527
Something of a wandering spirit.
375
00:22:27,527 --> 00:22:29,455
Entered politics soon after the war.
376
00:22:29,455 --> 00:22:31,986
I can get my chap
to find you a place in the town.
377
00:22:31,986 --> 00:22:35,199
I shall be staying at Chimneys.
Murder rarely keeps office hours.
378
00:22:35,199 --> 00:22:36,645
Hello.
379
00:22:38,051 --> 00:22:39,859
Bit of fresh air.
380
00:22:41,907 --> 00:22:45,201
Politically this could be a disaster,
if not handled with care.
381
00:22:45,201 --> 00:22:47,008
Indeed.
382
00:22:47,008 --> 00:22:48,977
So the ladies retired early?
383
00:22:49,188 --> 00:22:51,176
We had some business.
384
00:22:51,106 --> 00:22:54,761
- Er...not relevant.
- He wanted to buy Chimneys.
385
00:22:56,769 --> 00:22:58,858
He wanted to buy Chimneys?
386
00:22:58,858 --> 00:23:02,393
Well, the proposal was that the
government would purchase the house,
387
00:23:02,393 --> 00:23:05,727
and then pass it on to Count Ludwig
as a gift.
388
00:23:05,727 --> 00:23:08,016
- A bribe?
- Don't be absurd...
389
00:23:08,016 --> 00:23:09,663
A personal bribe.
390
00:23:10,667 --> 00:23:14,805
In return for which, he hands over
a share of their heavy industry.
391
00:23:16,050 --> 00:23:18,621
Where do we stand on that, morally?
392
00:23:19,143 --> 00:23:21,111
Well back, I'd have thought.
393
00:23:21,995 --> 00:23:24,565
Is there paperwork for this sale?
394
00:23:24,847 --> 00:23:28,582
Signed, sealed and in my room
in the top drawer.
395
00:23:29,305 --> 00:23:31,113
All academic now, of course.
396
00:23:31,555 --> 00:23:32,719
Understood.
397
00:23:33,965 --> 00:23:37,419
As one door closes, another stands
ajar, Lord Caterham.
398
00:23:37,017 --> 00:23:38,263
(Scoffs)
399
00:23:38,263 --> 00:23:40,231
Indeed.
400
00:23:41,838 --> 00:23:43,886
So you gentlemen retired at...
401
00:23:43,886 --> 00:23:46,015
About a quarter to eleven.
402
00:23:46,015 --> 00:23:47,702
Until we were woken by the fire bell.
403
00:23:47,702 --> 00:23:49,469
Mr Lomax! Sir!
404
00:23:49,469 --> 00:23:52,723
- At what time?
- Twenty to midnight.
405
00:23:52,723 --> 00:23:54,571
We all met downstairs.
406
00:23:55,133 --> 00:23:58,306
No sign of the Count.
So off we went, looking for him.
407
00:23:58,306 --> 00:24:00,877
All save Clement and myself.
408
00:24:01,239 --> 00:24:02,725
Next thing... Boom!
409
00:24:02,725 --> 00:24:04,091
(Bang)
410
00:24:04,091 --> 00:24:05,657
The gunshot?
411
00:24:05,657 --> 00:24:08,710
He was in the passageway all along.
Just a few yards away.
412
00:24:09,835 --> 00:24:11,763
Any fingerprints on the weapon?
413
00:24:12,616 --> 00:24:14,333
Regrettably not.
414
00:24:14,333 --> 00:24:17,587
Still, we have the culprit.
Anthony Cade.
415
00:24:18,390 --> 00:24:21,122
He has one or two questions
to answer, certainly.
416
00:24:21,523 --> 00:24:23,733
May I see the body?
I shall take you there at once.
417
00:24:23,733 --> 00:24:25,701
Or perhaps Miss...
418
00:24:26,826 --> 00:24:29,597
Marple.
Marple. Yes. If it's no inconvenience?
419
00:24:30,441 --> 00:24:31,606
Oh.
420
00:24:31,606 --> 00:24:33,453
Well, no, not at all.
421
00:24:43,415 --> 00:24:48,074
What was he doing here,
almost an hour after he went to bed?
422
00:24:50,163 --> 00:24:54,823
He showed an interest over dinner
in the Van Dyck portrait.
423
00:24:55,586 --> 00:24:58,438
I suppose the Count could have
returned...
424
00:24:58,438 --> 00:25:00,406
- A private viewing?
- I suppose.
425
00:25:01,330 --> 00:25:03,298
And chanced upon the secret door.
426
00:25:04,342 --> 00:25:08,480
Except that nothing quite happens
by chance, does it?
427
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,448
Not really.
428
00:25:10,890 --> 00:25:12,938
Or is that my tidy-minded
preference?
429
00:25:20,902 --> 00:25:23,703
I see you don't have a man with you.
430
00:25:26,073 --> 00:25:27,881
I'm sorry?
431
00:25:27,881 --> 00:25:31,496
Well, inspectors nowadays
tend to have a man with them.
432
00:25:32,339 --> 00:25:35,714
Perhaps you prefer to muse alone?
433
00:25:36,758 --> 00:25:38,726
Perhaps no man would have me.
434
00:25:39,891 --> 00:25:41,859
Oh. This blood...
435
00:25:43,386 --> 00:25:45,354
He was shot here.
436
00:25:46,639 --> 00:25:51,499
And crawled, staggered,
or was dragged this-a-way...
437
00:25:52,423 --> 00:25:57,444
..where he was found in the arms
of Mr Cade. Here.
438
00:25:57,444 --> 00:26:00,136
Before falling on poor Virginia.
Here.
439
00:26:01,622 --> 00:26:04,755
All fairly straightforward,
apparently.
440
00:26:12,106 --> 00:26:14,074
Ah-ha.
441
00:26:20,702 --> 00:26:22,549
Is it a letter?
442
00:26:23,794 --> 00:26:25,763
Not quite.
443
00:26:28,574 --> 00:26:31,788
A treble clef. A virtuoso.
444
00:26:31,788 --> 00:26:35,122
Perhaps you could take this
and study it for me, Miss Marple.
445
00:26:36,528 --> 00:26:38,496
Very well.
446
00:26:45,565 --> 00:26:47,534
The Count said something
before he died.
447
00:26:47,534 --> 00:26:49,502
Want, want...
448
00:26:49,904 --> 00:26:51,992
Want? Are you sure?
449
00:26:51,992 --> 00:26:53,961
Mm-hm. Meaning?
450
00:26:54,483 --> 00:26:57,776
Well, I suppose we all want
something, even at death's door.
451
00:26:58,540 --> 00:27:00,508
Kiss of life, perhaps?
452
00:27:01,472 --> 00:27:04,203
How did you get here?
I climbed over the wall.
453
00:27:04,203 --> 00:27:06,332
I was eager to get up to the house
454
00:27:06,332 --> 00:27:08,180
and this gentleman
was blocking the path.
455
00:27:08,180 --> 00:27:10,148
Would you mind, sir?
456
00:27:15,290 --> 00:27:17,258
As I remember,
457
00:27:19,668 --> 00:27:21,636
I came from around here.
458
00:27:24,167 --> 00:27:26,818
Then I spotted the gentleman,
I panicked,
459
00:27:27,501 --> 00:27:28,706
and then... You hit him.
460
00:27:32,441 --> 00:27:34,771
Yes, I am sorry about that.
461
00:27:35,253 --> 00:27:37,181
Using this?
462
00:27:37,703 --> 00:27:39,672
Exactly.
463
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,411
- What time was that?
- 11:33. Precisely.
464
00:27:45,295 --> 00:27:47,062
I remember because I looked at my
watch.
465
00:27:47,062 --> 00:27:49,031
I envy your eyesight, Mr Cade.
466
00:27:49,673 --> 00:27:51,762
You see, that's the thing.
467
00:27:51,762 --> 00:27:55,217
I know, because there was a light
on in one of the upstairs rooms.
468
00:27:58,430 --> 00:28:01,161
It was first storey and then second
to the right.
469
00:28:01,161 --> 00:28:05,098
Now, I can remember
because someone had lit a fire.
470
00:28:05,098 --> 00:28:07,187
Rather a warm night for a fire.
471
00:28:07,187 --> 00:28:10,842
Well, there was definitely smoke
coming out of the chimney above.
472
00:28:12,569 --> 00:28:15,702
Anyway, at this stage
common sense sounded the retreat.
473
00:28:15,702 --> 00:28:17,148
Did you heed the warning?
474
00:28:17,148 --> 00:28:19,960
Sadly, common sense and I
are no longer on speaking terms
475
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,571
so I carried on along here
and through the door.
476
00:28:26,788 --> 00:28:28,757
And then I came down here,
477
00:28:30,645 --> 00:28:32,613
opened the trap door
478
00:28:34,019 --> 00:28:35,826
and then I heard the gunshot.
479
00:28:35,826 --> 00:28:37,473
(Bang)
480
00:28:39,361 --> 00:28:41,289
(Count groans)
Good God!
481
00:28:41,771 --> 00:28:43,699
- He'd been shot already?
- Yes.
482
00:28:45,145 --> 00:28:47,676
- Any idea who shot him?
- Afraid not.
483
00:28:47,676 --> 00:28:51,211
And yet, the revolver three feet
from you, the victim at your heels?
484
00:28:51,211 --> 00:28:53,580
I swear I never saw any revolver.
485
00:28:53,580 --> 00:28:57,316
Mr Cade, may one ask
what you were actually doing here?
486
00:28:58,601 --> 00:29:01,976
Yes, well, I did wonder when you'd
get around to asking that.
487
00:29:01,976 --> 00:29:05,832
The truth is, I couldn't let Lomax
have his way
without putting up a fight.
488
00:29:05,832 --> 00:29:08,362
- His way with Virginia?
- Yes.
489
00:29:08,362 --> 00:29:10,451
I thought to myself: just sit tight
490
00:29:10,451 --> 00:29:13,102
and then burst in at breakfast
and give you all a fright.
491
00:29:13,102 --> 00:29:14,709
You certainly did that.
492
00:29:14,709 --> 00:29:16,918
The constable found this
in your pocket.
493
00:29:17,962 --> 00:29:20,372
Oh. Any idea who wrote it?
494
00:29:22,501 --> 00:29:25,795
"Dear Cade, come to Chimneys.
There's a trapdoor in the garden.
495
00:29:25,795 --> 00:29:27,803
11:45 sharp."
496
00:29:28,526 --> 00:29:30,414
What? I didn't write this.
497
00:29:31,097 --> 00:29:33,186
Are you sure?
Mr Cade seems to think...
498
00:29:33,186 --> 00:29:35,114
Not my style.
499
00:29:35,114 --> 00:29:37,323
A love note is not something you just
dash off.
500
00:29:39,050 --> 00:29:41,179
I don't see what you're sniggering at.
501
00:29:41,179 --> 00:29:43,589
I'm sorry - idiot - may I see?
502
00:29:46,441 --> 00:29:48,410
Hand it over.
503
00:29:50,016 --> 00:29:54,354
It appears from the postmark
to have been sent locally,
express service,
504
00:29:54,354 --> 00:29:56,323
as late as yesterday morning.
505
00:30:00,460 --> 00:30:02,308
So, none of you sent this letter?
506
00:30:02,308 --> 00:30:04,196
How's this for a hypothesis?
507
00:30:04,878 --> 00:30:06,847
Cade types the letter himself,
508
00:30:07,369 --> 00:30:09,819
takes the train down to the village
and posts it.
509
00:30:09,819 --> 00:30:12,952
All in a cynical bid to ensnare Virginia.
510
00:30:12,952 --> 00:30:16,447
Rubbish! I was having tea with him
yesterday morning.
511
00:30:16,447 --> 00:30:19,017
At the Lyons Corner House
on the Edgware Road.
512
00:30:19,339 --> 00:30:21,307
And it was very nice.
513
00:30:23,516 --> 00:30:26,368
Mr Lomax, your room is
second from the end, isn't it?
514
00:30:26,890 --> 00:30:27,895
So?
515
00:30:27,895 --> 00:30:31,148
There was a light on there
last night. Just before the alarm
sounded.
516
00:30:32,393 --> 00:30:34,161
Rubbish! Says who?
517
00:30:35,526 --> 00:30:37,495
Oh. Cade.
518
00:30:37,736 --> 00:30:40,427
Blatant attempt
to put you off your game, Inspector.
519
00:30:40,427 --> 00:30:42,194
Anthony.
520
00:30:57,378 --> 00:31:00,752
I told you.
I'm not worth the sacrifice.
521
00:31:01,997 --> 00:31:04,528
I'll be the judge of that,
thank you very much.
522
00:31:04,528 --> 00:31:08,062
If you would be so good as to remain
at Chimneys until further notice.
523
00:31:08,745 --> 00:31:11,678
What about him?
You're not going to let him wander
about?
524
00:31:11,678 --> 00:31:14,329
We'll keep an eye on him.
Keep an eye on all of you.
525
00:31:17,422 --> 00:31:19,189
(Hums low note)
526
00:31:21,639 --> 00:31:23,607
(Soprano notes)
527
00:31:24,009 --> 00:31:26,017
It's quite perverse, isn't it?
528
00:31:26,017 --> 00:31:27,745
(Range of notes)
529
00:31:27,745 --> 00:31:29,713
He was such a musical fellow.
530
00:31:32,565 --> 00:31:34,453
Quite the dancer.
(Shrill note)
531
00:31:34,453 --> 00:31:37,586
I always say the point of a tune
is to boost the morale, surely?
532
00:31:37,586 --> 00:31:39,434
Indeed.
533
00:31:39,434 --> 00:31:41,884
- May I help?
- Ah, Treadwell, the very man.
534
00:31:41,884 --> 00:31:45,057
Where is that musical handbook of
Virginia's? You know the one?
535
00:31:45,057 --> 00:31:47,025
Hits Of The Blitz?
536
00:31:47,025 --> 00:31:49,074
The very nelly. Come.
537
00:31:49,074 --> 00:31:51,042
(Hums and strikes notes)
538
00:31:54,175 --> 00:31:55,340
No...
539
00:31:57,509 --> 00:31:58,473
Oh.
540
00:31:59,276 --> 00:32:01,205
Hard at it, Miss Marple?
541
00:32:01,205 --> 00:32:03,534
Inspector, it's...
I'm a little lost.
542
00:32:04,257 --> 00:32:08,033
One can hardly see where one bar ends
and the next begins.
543
00:32:08,796 --> 00:32:10,724
(Hits notes)
544
00:32:10,724 --> 00:32:12,693
(He hums)
545
00:32:15,263 --> 00:32:16,508
I'm sorry, forgive me.
546
00:32:16,508 --> 00:32:18,477
It's... Hardly music at all.
547
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,248
Could it be... I almost wonder...
548
00:32:21,650 --> 00:32:23,618
Forgive me. Go on.
549
00:32:23,618 --> 00:32:27,796
Well, I wonder, is it possible,
550
00:32:27,796 --> 00:32:32,254
it is, in fact, a message
of some sort in code?
551
00:32:33,821 --> 00:32:35,789
(Voices outside)
552
00:32:37,416 --> 00:32:41,332
What were you thinking of?
You know nothing about the man or
his people.
553
00:32:41,332 --> 00:32:43,662
I know he's funny and reckless
554
00:32:45,721 --> 00:32:48,824
and his mother has a jolly nice
bicycle,
555
00:32:48,964 --> 00:32:52,941
which I happen to think counts for
more than a dozen columns
in Who's Who.
556
00:32:53,503 --> 00:32:55,270
- He ran a bar.
- Oh, how philanthropic.
557
00:32:55,270 --> 00:32:57,239
In Africa. In Bulawayo.
558
00:32:57,962 --> 00:33:01,055
He had a friend with him,
they were business partners.
559
00:33:01,055 --> 00:33:03,987
And does this friend have a name?
Jimmy McGrath.
560
00:33:03,987 --> 00:33:06,196
They did rather well, for a time,
561
00:33:06,387 --> 00:33:08,656
but Jimmy liked to drink, you see.
562
00:33:08,807 --> 00:33:10,665
He gambled it all away.
563
00:33:10,745 --> 00:33:13,467
Lost it in one sitting
to a gentleman from Pretoria.
564
00:33:13,467 --> 00:33:15,646
You've known him for less than a
fortnight.
565
00:33:15,897 --> 00:33:18,267
- Daddy.
- Ah, Caterham.
566
00:33:18,307 --> 00:33:20,416
Knock some sense into your daughter.
567
00:33:20,506 --> 00:33:23,157
Oh, well it's a brave man
who'd dare to.
568
00:33:23,438 --> 00:33:25,647
What would your mother have said?
569
00:33:25,919 --> 00:33:30,026
My mother, you presume to speak
about, always went with her heart.
570
00:33:30,277 --> 00:33:32,526
Isn't that so?
571
00:33:32,827 --> 00:33:34,996
And she raised me to do the same.
572
00:33:37,015 --> 00:33:39,817
- Virginia!
- Anthony is no murderer.
573
00:33:44,356 --> 00:33:46,886
(Recites numbers)
What's she doing?
574
00:33:46,886 --> 00:33:48,854
Trying to prove her lover innocent.
575
00:33:49,618 --> 00:33:53,233
How does she propose to do that?
I have no idea.
576
00:33:54,598 --> 00:33:58,495
Like it or not, Mr Cade was still
there, in the tunnel,
with the smoking gun.
577
00:33:58,495 --> 00:34:00,503
- Will you arrest him?
- I'm tempted.
578
00:34:01,467 --> 00:34:03,797
He's careless, all the lies he tells.
579
00:34:03,797 --> 00:34:06,890
The letter, that business with the
light on in the house...
580
00:34:06,890 --> 00:34:09,019
A man like Cade requires plenty of
rope.
581
00:34:09,661 --> 00:34:11,630
Like most of us. Even you.
582
00:34:12,152 --> 00:34:14,200
Am I under suspicion?
583
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,169
I know your secret, Miss Marple.
584
00:34:16,530 --> 00:34:18,579
You are a puzzle-outer of mysteries.
585
00:34:19,543 --> 00:34:21,631
I muddle through one or two.
586
00:34:23,439 --> 00:34:25,407
It's a matter of association.
587
00:34:27,978 --> 00:34:30,227
I envy you, you know,
the amateur sleuth.
588
00:34:30,227 --> 00:34:32,196
One has nothing to lose, somehow.
589
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,634
Still, a salary is er...convenient.
590
00:34:36,895 --> 00:34:37,719
Indeed.
591
00:34:37,739 --> 00:34:40,289
If it wasn't for the generosity of
my nephew...
592
00:34:41,474 --> 00:34:44,668
Raymond.
So I've read in a dozen case files.
593
00:34:45,009 --> 00:34:46,576
Yes.
594
00:34:46,736 --> 00:34:49,146
Hardly a distinguished name.
595
00:34:49,709 --> 00:34:51,597
- Raymond?
- No.
596
00:34:51,597 --> 00:34:53,525
Chimneys.
597
00:34:53,525 --> 00:34:56,577
Until it stands before one,
and then it all makes sense.
598
00:34:57,782 --> 00:34:59,831
Dozens of them.
599
00:34:59,831 --> 00:35:01,478
Splendid.
600
00:35:01,478 --> 00:35:04,330
That great tower standing proud,
so that...
601
00:35:06,780 --> 00:35:10,516
Which was the window Mr Cade said
was lit up on the night of the murder?
602
00:35:11,158 --> 00:35:13,207
Second from the right?
The MP's room.
603
00:35:13,207 --> 00:35:17,304
And yet, as one approaches the spot
where Mr Cade stood,
604
00:35:17,304 --> 00:35:19,794
a window is obscured. Do you see?
605
00:35:20,598 --> 00:35:22,446
On account of the tower.
606
00:35:22,446 --> 00:35:25,779
So that what appears to be
second from the right is, in fact...
607
00:35:26,101 --> 00:35:28,029
Third from the right.
608
00:35:28,029 --> 00:35:31,925
So who was up and about
moments before the gunshot?
609
00:35:32,447 --> 00:35:35,179
At 33 minutes past 11
your bedroom light was on,
610
00:35:35,179 --> 00:35:37,227
12 minutes before the gunshot.
611
00:35:37,227 --> 00:35:39,155
Yes. Briefly.
612
00:35:39,155 --> 00:35:41,124
Can you tell me why?
613
00:35:41,887 --> 00:35:43,855
I wished to speak to Count Ludwig,
614
00:35:44,578 --> 00:35:47,832
but noticing his bed was unoccupied,
I returned to my room.
615
00:35:48,555 --> 00:35:51,366
Any particular reason
for wishing to speak to him?
616
00:35:51,808 --> 00:35:53,776
Oh, he'd...
617
00:35:54,058 --> 00:35:57,191
earlier in the evening
he'd asked for an extra blanket.
618
00:35:57,191 --> 00:35:59,520
So perhaps you lit a fire?
619
00:36:00,645 --> 00:36:03,417
I beg your pardon?
At the same time. 11:33.
620
00:36:05,385 --> 00:36:07,393
No fires last night. I...
621
00:36:07,393 --> 00:36:09,362
I would have known, you see.
622
00:36:11,330 --> 00:36:16,270
You know, it's funny, but yesterday
I really felt that you knew him.
623
00:36:20,568 --> 00:36:22,697
This looks a very grand affair.
624
00:36:22,697 --> 00:36:24,666
That's how they did it
in those days.
625
00:36:24,666 --> 00:36:27,196
And this would be the orchestra,
at the back here?
626
00:36:28,923 --> 00:36:30,731
What sort of music did they play?
627
00:36:31,534 --> 00:36:33,302
Waltzes, mainly.
628
00:36:33,302 --> 00:36:35,270
Viennese waltzes?
629
00:36:37,439 --> 00:36:40,371
It's him, isn't it? There.
Count Ludwig.
630
00:36:40,934 --> 00:36:42,902
So he has been here before.
631
00:36:43,906 --> 00:36:45,874
And where else but in the orchestra?
632
00:36:49,529 --> 00:36:52,743
What brought you back after all
these years?
633
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:58,768
Any thoughts, Miss Treadwell?
634
00:37:01,660 --> 00:37:04,110
He got no more than he deserved.
I'm sorry?
635
00:37:09,131 --> 00:37:11,421
The girl who...
Who disappeared?
636
00:37:11,421 --> 00:37:13,791
Agnes.
The parlour maid, yes.
637
00:37:14,233 --> 00:37:16,201
Whatever happened to Agnes?
638
00:37:17,486 --> 00:37:19,455
That night after the party, I...
639
00:37:20,218 --> 00:37:22,186
I saw a light...
640
00:38:19,706 --> 00:38:21,675
This was the tomb I saw opened.
641
00:38:22,036 --> 00:38:24,004
Her body, it was down there.
642
00:38:35,372 --> 00:38:36,938
Let me help you.
643
00:38:36,938 --> 00:38:38,907
Clement, are you sure?
644
00:39:09,836 --> 00:39:11,804
Agnes.
645
00:39:13,250 --> 00:39:15,218
Her apron.
646
00:39:16,062 --> 00:39:17,548
Poor child.
647
00:39:17,548 --> 00:39:22,449
All this time,
we said she was the thief.
648
00:39:31,125 --> 00:39:33,455
I think it's time you told us what
happened.
649
00:39:34,619 --> 00:39:37,190
The mistress, she confided in me
once.
650
00:39:37,190 --> 00:39:39,158
Madeleine?
What did she tell you?
651
00:39:41,086 --> 00:39:43,738
She said Agnes was with him that
night.
652
00:39:43,738 --> 00:39:45,505
With whom?
653
00:39:45,505 --> 00:39:47,433
A musician. A fiddle player.
654
00:39:48,317 --> 00:39:50,365
Oh, the Count?
655
00:39:50,365 --> 00:39:53,579
All these years. Not a word.
656
00:39:54,904 --> 00:39:56,872
I wanted to, sir.
657
00:39:57,435 --> 00:40:00,769
But I thought if I spoke out,
you would contact the police,
658
00:40:00,769 --> 00:40:02,697
and there would be more of
a scandal.
659
00:40:03,139 --> 00:40:05,227
It had already ruined your career
660
00:40:05,227 --> 00:40:08,079
and if a stolen jewel
could cast such a shadow,
661
00:40:08,079 --> 00:40:10,851
and then the theft of a life...
662
00:40:11,453 --> 00:40:13,422
I'm so sorry.
663
00:40:14,104 --> 00:40:17,077
Oh, what have I done? I'm so sorry.
664
00:40:19,407 --> 00:40:22,379
- Well?
- She's certainly hiding something.
665
00:40:45,355 --> 00:40:46,319
Damn.
666
00:40:53,067 --> 00:40:54,553
Oh.
667
00:40:55,799 --> 00:40:57,566
- Wondered if there was any...
- What?
668
00:40:57,566 --> 00:40:59,454
Cardboard.
669
00:40:59,454 --> 00:41:01,744
Wondered if there was any...
What are you...?
670
00:41:01,744 --> 00:41:04,676
- What do you want cardboard for?
- I'm making something.
671
00:41:04,676 --> 00:41:07,367
Well, I can't see any,
so if you wouldn't mind.
672
00:41:10,741 --> 00:41:12,509
What are you up to,
Miss Blenkinsopp?
673
00:41:12,509 --> 00:41:17,369
Just looking for some privacy
in this big, old nasty...house.
674
00:41:17,851 --> 00:41:19,618
Hands off.
675
00:41:19,618 --> 00:41:21,586
Sorry. I'll leave you to it.
676
00:41:21,948 --> 00:41:24,679
(Sings notes)
677
00:41:26,166 --> 00:41:29,018
Oh, it's child's play.
678
00:41:29,018 --> 00:41:31,307
It's musical mathematics.
679
00:41:31,749 --> 00:41:35,886
Don't you see? One simply transposes
the music from notes into letters.
680
00:41:35,886 --> 00:41:37,854
So two octaves...
681
00:41:41,068 --> 00:41:43,478
take us from A up to O,
682
00:41:43,478 --> 00:41:46,651
while these 11 sharps
bring us all the way up to Z.
683
00:41:47,254 --> 00:41:49,824
Your coded letter.
# La! La-la!
684
00:41:51,250 --> 00:41:53,972
Please, I cannot abide flattery.
685
00:41:54,604 --> 00:41:56,974
Thank you, Lady Revel. Thank you.
686
00:41:58,260 --> 00:42:00,148
- Very well.
- Thank you, Bundle.
687
00:42:02,076 --> 00:42:03,803
"For this reason,
688
00:42:03,803 --> 00:42:05,490
my beloved Captain...
689
00:42:05,490 --> 00:42:07,297
I can never see you again.
690
00:42:08,181 --> 00:42:09,266
Promise me you will return one day
691
00:42:09,266 --> 00:42:11,234
for the greatest jewel.
692
00:42:11,997 --> 00:42:14,568
Richmond Twenty, North Three East."
693
00:42:14,568 --> 00:42:16,536
A love letter in the dead man's
pocket.
694
00:42:16,536 --> 00:42:18,785
Incomplete.
If we had a couple more pages...
695
00:42:18,785 --> 00:42:20,794
A date'd be helpful.
696
00:42:20,794 --> 00:42:23,606
Though the manuscript was written
in ballpoint pen.
697
00:42:23,606 --> 00:42:26,136
Indeed. So, the last couple of
years. Yes.
698
00:42:26,136 --> 00:42:28,104
A farewell?
699
00:42:29,109 --> 00:42:30,715
"Beloved Captain." Captain?
700
00:42:30,715 --> 00:42:32,844
An alias for Count Ludwig,
701
00:42:32,844 --> 00:42:35,375
if this affair was to be kept quiet?
702
00:42:35,375 --> 00:42:37,584
The Count had a secret lover. Agnes?
703
00:42:38,347 --> 00:42:39,592
Perhaps.
704
00:42:39,592 --> 00:42:41,320
But what do we make of this?
705
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:45,336
"Promise me you will return one day
for the greatest jewel."
706
00:42:46,019 --> 00:42:48,630
Is it possible...?
Count Ludwig came here to Chimneys
707
00:42:48,630 --> 00:42:52,085
not to discuss iron, but on a
secret mission, revealed within this letter,
708
00:42:52,085 --> 00:42:55,619
to recover the stolen Mysore Diamond
located somewhere in this house.
709
00:42:56,624 --> 00:42:58,592
No wonder it's in code.
710
00:42:58,592 --> 00:43:01,323
That's why he wanted to buy
Chimneys.
711
00:43:01,323 --> 00:43:04,537
"Richmond Twenty, North Three East."
712
00:43:04,537 --> 00:43:06,184
The evidence was before our eyes.
713
00:43:06,184 --> 00:43:08,112
The Van Dyck? And the subject?
714
00:43:08,112 --> 00:43:09,879
The Duke of Richmond.
715
00:43:15,944 --> 00:43:17,913
18, 19, 20.
716
00:43:22,411 --> 00:43:24,380
So?
717
00:43:24,781 --> 00:43:26,709
So.
718
00:43:26,709 --> 00:43:28,678
Don't torment me, Inspector.
719
00:43:29,079 --> 00:43:31,931
If you're holding something back...
Want, want...
720
00:43:31,931 --> 00:43:33,899
His last words.
721
00:43:34,462 --> 00:43:36,309
Unless, of course...
722
00:43:36,309 --> 00:43:38,358
Vunt, vunt...
723
00:43:38,358 --> 00:43:42,817
Unless of course he was speaking not
English, but his mother tongue.
724
00:43:42,817 --> 00:43:44,785
Not "want, want" but "vunt, vunt".
725
00:43:47,195 --> 00:43:49,163
"Der Wand" in High German.
726
00:43:49,444 --> 00:43:51,332
Or "vunt" in the Austrian dialect.
727
00:43:51,332 --> 00:43:52,899
Meaning?
728
00:43:52,899 --> 00:43:54,867
The wall, the wall.
729
00:43:55,831 --> 00:44:01,896
You think...? You think the diamond
is hidden somewhere in the wall?
730
00:44:05,431 --> 00:44:07,841
Well. Bravo.
731
00:44:08,845 --> 00:44:13,344
But, you know, I think I know a
gentleman who might shed a little
more light on the matter.
732
00:44:13,344 --> 00:44:15,553
You were accompanying
your godmother?
733
00:44:15,553 --> 00:44:17,441
Lady... Lady Somerset.
734
00:44:17,441 --> 00:44:19,992
That's right. We all used to call her
Robbie.
735
00:44:23,165 --> 00:44:25,284
Must have been quite bewitching.
736
00:44:26,017 --> 00:44:28,528
What? The diamond.
737
00:44:29,070 --> 00:44:30,381
Oh. I see.
738
00:44:30,456 --> 00:44:34,573
Well, it's all just coloured glass
to me, Inspector.
739
00:44:36,642 --> 00:44:38,851
What have you got there?
740
00:44:38,851 --> 00:44:41,974
Notes from the investigation in '32.
741
00:44:42,476 --> 00:44:45,599
Interviews with, among others,
yourself.
742
00:44:46,161 --> 00:44:48,511
"I have no recollection
of said diamond's disappearance.
743
00:44:48,913 --> 00:44:51,162
In fact, I was asleep."
744
00:44:51,263 --> 00:44:53,854
I'd been charging about since dawn.
Really, Inspector...
745
00:44:54,255 --> 00:44:56,645
I see Lady Somerset
retired early as well.
746
00:44:56,957 --> 00:44:59,618
We had nothing to do with any theft,
I assure you.
747
00:45:02,008 --> 00:45:03,675
The point is...
748
00:45:04,538 --> 00:45:06,547
See for yourself.
749
00:45:08,153 --> 00:45:10,383
I was a young rake.
750
00:45:12,291 --> 00:45:13,937
She was easily led.
751
00:45:15,966 --> 00:45:17,633
I see.
752
00:45:18,979 --> 00:45:21,650
Well, at least, I have an inkling.
753
00:45:21,871 --> 00:45:24,622
And he was writing under a nom de
plume.
754
00:45:24,723 --> 00:45:27,354
Count Ludwig had an alias?
Mm-hm. The Captain.
755
00:45:27,434 --> 00:45:28,679
Odd.
756
00:45:28,780 --> 00:45:31,390
And a secret lover, to boot.
It's all in the letter.
757
00:45:32,595 --> 00:45:34,795
Who was she, the lover?
758
00:45:35,447 --> 00:45:38,179
We wondered. Agnes? Poor Agnes.
759
00:45:38,580 --> 00:45:42,477
Not only that. The Count seems to
have had a hand in the theft of the
famous diamond.
760
00:45:42,477 --> 00:45:44,746
So he bumped her off, did he?
761
00:45:45,771 --> 00:45:49,104
Two thieves fighting over the spoils?
762
00:45:49,104 --> 00:45:51,073
Well, do start away, everyone.
763
00:45:51,836 --> 00:45:54,045
Yes, and she wasn't the only one,
was she?
764
00:45:54,487 --> 00:45:56,515
The only victim, I mean.
765
00:45:56,817 --> 00:45:58,785
Bill, where is the...?
766
00:45:59,026 --> 00:46:00,994
Right here, my dearest.
767
00:46:06,577 --> 00:46:09,911
Chimneys.
It's not quite to scale, I'm afraid.
768
00:46:10,795 --> 00:46:13,446
The night of the murder.
We all came downstairs.
769
00:46:13,446 --> 00:46:16,660
Yes? And we couldn't find the Count,
so off we all went.
770
00:46:17,302 --> 00:46:19,833
Separately. Now, this is the point.
771
00:46:19,833 --> 00:46:21,761
This is where we all were.
772
00:46:21,761 --> 00:46:24,412
So, Bundle, you were upstairs
in the guest wing.
773
00:46:24,894 --> 00:46:26,601
George was there also.
774
00:46:26,601 --> 00:46:28,549
Treadwell, kitchen.
775
00:46:28,549 --> 00:46:31,200
Miss Blenkinsopp, I believe,
was on the terrace.
776
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:32,847
Bill - study
777
00:46:32,847 --> 00:46:35,338
and I was upstairs
then down to the council chamber.
778
00:46:35,559 --> 00:46:36,944
Then... (Hits table)
Gunshot!
779
00:46:36,944 --> 00:46:38,692
Back we all flew, front door wide
open.
780
00:46:39,395 --> 00:46:41,202
Someone close that door!
781
00:46:41,202 --> 00:46:43,130
Agreed?
782
00:46:44,134 --> 00:46:48,071
Who's to say one of us
couldn't have run out of the house
783
00:46:48,071 --> 00:46:49,919
through the garden, trapdoor,
784
00:46:49,919 --> 00:46:51,967
into the passage, shot the Count
785
00:46:51,967 --> 00:46:55,984
and then one minute to get back,
after the gunshot, in time to make it
look like...
786
00:46:55,984 --> 00:46:59,880
well, to make it look like
we'd been in the house all along?
787
00:47:01,848 --> 00:47:03,576
Front door to the trapdoor is...
788
00:47:03,576 --> 00:47:05,504
How many strides, Bill?
789
00:47:05,504 --> 00:47:08,235
We measured it. 112? 112.
790
00:47:08,235 --> 00:47:12,854
Five minutes there and back. It's
possible. You said so yourself,
didn't you, Bill?
791
00:47:12,854 --> 00:47:13,899
Sure.
792
00:47:13,899 --> 00:47:17,835
But why would anybody...? The Count
wanted Chimneys, didn't he?
793
00:47:17,835 --> 00:47:21,531
And, Bundle, you're so mortally
opposed to losing the house.
794
00:47:21,531 --> 00:47:24,222
I had no idea I was so pathetically
grasping.
795
00:47:24,222 --> 00:47:27,074
Well, somebody killed him.
And as for that poor dead girl...
796
00:47:27,074 --> 00:47:31,010
My little fox.
What you need is fattening up.
797
00:47:31,010 --> 00:47:32,898
Enough. Quite.
798
00:47:37,076 --> 00:47:39,044
You making notes, Blenkinsopp?
799
00:47:39,847 --> 00:47:40,610
No.
800
00:47:40,610 --> 00:47:43,904
To think, what a pleasing oral
history this will all make
801
00:47:43,904 --> 00:47:45,872
back in your municipal headquarters.
802
00:47:45,872 --> 00:47:46,917
Not at all.
803
00:47:46,917 --> 00:47:49,889
When everyone knows you've had your
claws in Chimneys for years,
804
00:47:49,889 --> 00:47:52,982
grubbing about with your letters
and your polite notices,
805
00:47:52,982 --> 00:47:55,874
rifling through our drawers,
tipping off our creditors.
806
00:47:55,874 --> 00:47:57,762
Mother was on her death bed,
807
00:47:57,762 --> 00:48:00,012
not that you lost a moment's sleep
over that.
808
00:48:00,012 --> 00:48:02,422
- God knows why.
- I'll tell you why.
809
00:48:03,104 --> 00:48:05,073
I caught her in the study,
810
00:48:05,876 --> 00:48:10,094
going through the old housekeeping
records, weren't you? 1932.
811
00:48:11,299 --> 00:48:14,512
This is all about Agnes, isn't it?
You knew her?
812
00:48:14,512 --> 00:48:16,601
Agnes Parker was a child,
813
00:48:16,601 --> 00:48:20,658
a child when she was handed over
to people like you.
814
00:48:20,658 --> 00:48:22,626
Trusted to your care.
815
00:48:23,068 --> 00:48:26,281
And when one morning she wasn't
there, it broke her family's heart.
816
00:48:26,281 --> 00:48:29,816
And not one of you had the decency
to ask why.
817
00:48:30,539 --> 00:48:32,507
I feel sick. Well, you might.
818
00:48:32,507 --> 00:48:34,998
No, I feel sick.
819
00:48:34,998 --> 00:48:37,006
(Groans)
820
00:48:37,006 --> 00:48:38,894
- Daddy?
- Clement?
821
00:48:38,894 --> 00:48:40,380
It's his ticker.
822
00:48:40,380 --> 00:48:42,670
Where's your tonic? Your tonic!
823
00:48:42,670 --> 00:48:44,036
Excuse me.
824
00:48:44,036 --> 00:48:46,486
There's hardly any left.
Just take a swig.
825
00:48:47,289 --> 00:48:49,217
- Excuse me.
- Damn soup.
826
00:48:51,346 --> 00:48:53,314
Let's get some fresh air.
827
00:48:54,318 --> 00:48:56,769
I'm so sorry. I'm so terribly sorry.
828
00:48:57,652 --> 00:49:00,223
What kind of soup is this,
Miss Treadwell?
829
00:49:01,027 --> 00:49:04,280
Mushroom and sage.
But you are quite well.
830
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:07,052
Oh, I have no appetite by nightfall.
831
00:49:07,694 --> 00:49:10,185
One of the hidden costs of old age.
832
00:49:10,667 --> 00:49:12,635
Miss Treadwell, help me here.
833
00:49:12,956 --> 00:49:17,777
Are you quite sure in your mind
that the Count murdered poor Agnes?
834
00:49:19,062 --> 00:49:21,392
If there's anything else, then,
please...?
835
00:49:21,392 --> 00:49:23,360
It's been so many years.
836
00:49:40,471 --> 00:49:42,681
- Can this not wait until the morning?
- No.
837
00:49:45,854 --> 00:49:47,742
Fuse wire.
838
00:49:47,742 --> 00:49:49,710
What's that doing there?
839
00:49:49,951 --> 00:49:51,156
Indeed.
840
00:49:51,638 --> 00:49:53,606
Dear me, what a business.
841
00:49:55,534 --> 00:49:57,503
Ah, yes.
842
00:49:57,864 --> 00:49:59,832
Foxglove leaves.
843
00:50:00,234 --> 00:50:02,323
Easily muddled with sage.
844
00:50:02,323 --> 00:50:04,773
Must have found their way
into the soup.
845
00:50:04,773 --> 00:50:09,232
- Foxglove, you see, contains...
- Digitalis. Natural poison. I'll be indoors.
846
00:50:10,236 --> 00:50:12,204
(Toilet flushes)
847
00:50:13,891 --> 00:50:15,859
Sorry.
848
00:50:29,235 --> 00:50:31,203
(Knocks)
849
00:50:33,493 --> 00:50:34,979
Jane.
850
00:50:35,461 --> 00:50:37,429
Here to rebuke me?
851
00:50:37,871 --> 00:50:39,880
Castigate away.
852
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:41,004
No.
853
00:50:43,294 --> 00:50:47,271
Your sister's account of last night.
854
00:50:47,271 --> 00:50:50,122
Please don't mind Ginny.
Her nerves are shot.
855
00:50:50,122 --> 00:50:55,023
I noticed that you were upstairs,
here in the guest wing,
856
00:50:55,023 --> 00:50:56,991
during the search party,
857
00:50:57,634 --> 00:50:59,522
and I wondered what became of them.
858
00:51:00,767 --> 00:51:01,932
Of...?
859
00:51:01,932 --> 00:51:05,627
The legal paperwork, drawn up last
night for the sale of Chimneys,
860
00:51:05,627 --> 00:51:08,118
which you took from Mr Lomax's room.
861
00:51:09,604 --> 00:51:11,170
(Bang)
862
00:51:11,170 --> 00:51:13,139
Oh, that.
863
00:51:13,420 --> 00:51:15,910
Old maid's last refuge, isn't it?
864
00:51:16,794 --> 00:51:20,570
An overweening love of domestic
animals.
865
00:51:23,542 --> 00:51:25,470
Not that they ever reciprocated.
866
00:51:27,519 --> 00:51:29,487
It was always Treadwell.
867
00:51:30,130 --> 00:51:32,098
Every dog and pup we ever had.
868
00:51:33,544 --> 00:51:35,753
She used to give them the funniest
names.
869
00:51:39,931 --> 00:51:41,899
(Whines)
870
00:52:04,453 --> 00:52:07,305
There's really no need to stay, sir.
No, I'm fine.
871
00:52:10,358 --> 00:52:14,776
She had a weak heart?
Well, not that I knew.
872
00:52:15,580 --> 00:52:20,641
I wondered merely why the poison
in the foxglove leaves
873
00:52:20,641 --> 00:52:24,698
should prove lethal for her
while the rest of us...
874
00:52:24,698 --> 00:52:27,509
Well... she was a terrible worrier.
875
00:52:35,824 --> 00:52:37,792
Shanghai. '27.
876
00:52:40,765 --> 00:52:42,974
She travelled about with us
everywhere.
877
00:52:43,978 --> 00:52:45,665
And this one?
878
00:52:46,469 --> 00:52:48,196
Oh...
879
00:52:48,196 --> 00:52:50,445
Do you know, I have no idea.
880
00:52:51,490 --> 00:52:53,177
Our friend the Captain.
881
00:52:53,177 --> 00:52:55,024
All of them? Looks like it.
882
00:52:55,024 --> 00:52:57,073
And not in musical code.
883
00:52:57,073 --> 00:52:59,122
Not this one.
884
00:52:59,122 --> 00:53:01,090
Who was he writing to?
885
00:53:02,255 --> 00:53:04,223
Constance?
886
00:53:05,789 --> 00:53:07,758
She was with us for so many years.
887
00:53:08,521 --> 00:53:10,569
One forgot she even had a Christian
name.
888
00:53:10,569 --> 00:53:12,096
Constance Treadwell.
889
00:53:12,096 --> 00:53:14,687
I was so sure she was holding
something from us.
890
00:53:20,511 --> 00:53:23,262
Constance was Count Ludwig's lover?
891
00:53:25,592 --> 00:53:28,243
COUNT LUDWIG:
My dearest Constance.
892
00:53:28,394 --> 00:53:31,567
Nine days until the party
at the Palazzo Ducale.
893
00:53:32,170 --> 00:53:34,138
It feels like a prison sentence...
894
00:53:34,740 --> 00:53:37,030
It has rained every day since
Caracas.
The Captain.
895
00:53:37,030 --> 00:53:40,364
I am mad, Bedlamised, with love.
896
00:53:41,087 --> 00:53:43,417
But the lamb is stamping her little
hooves.
897
00:53:44,180 --> 00:53:45,987
I must sign off now.
898
00:53:45,987 --> 00:53:47,674
Be of courage.
899
00:53:47,674 --> 00:53:50,446
Until Friday and Chimneys.
All my love.
900
00:53:50,446 --> 00:53:52,414
...Our glorious reunion.
901
00:53:52,655 --> 00:53:54,744
I will take you in my arms.
902
00:53:54,744 --> 00:53:59,403
And we will make such light-fingered
music."
903
00:54:00,287 --> 00:54:04,023
Treadwell?
I suppose she had much to lose.
904
00:54:04,023 --> 00:54:05,991
Her position, her livelihood.
905
00:54:06,794 --> 00:54:10,209
And when love is driven underground,
it quickens its ardour.
906
00:54:13,703 --> 00:54:18,604
Oh, we had a case with our organist
and a young page turner at St Mary
Mead.
907
00:54:19,246 --> 00:54:21,375
I see.
908
00:54:21,375 --> 00:54:23,344
Well, one mustn't talk scandal.
909
00:54:25,111 --> 00:54:27,079
Places and times.
910
00:54:27,441 --> 00:54:29,409
Venice, Caracas.
911
00:54:29,851 --> 00:54:32,381
He must have trailed her for two
years at least.
912
00:54:33,225 --> 00:54:36,197
All the way to Chimneys.
Back to the party.
913
00:54:39,089 --> 00:54:41,700
But Treadwell, a diamond thief?
914
00:54:41,700 --> 00:54:45,275
Well, perhaps it was the Captain
who urged her to do it?
915
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:49,051
What is the "lamb" in these letters?
916
00:54:49,051 --> 00:54:50,457
- That's...
- Well, I think...
917
00:54:50,457 --> 00:54:52,224
I'm so sorry. You first.
918
00:54:54,514 --> 00:54:57,607
Agnes. Old papist word for lamb.
919
00:54:57,607 --> 00:54:59,575
Agnes Dei. Lamb of God.
920
00:55:00,258 --> 00:55:02,748
Altar boy. Misspent youth.
921
00:55:05,439 --> 00:55:07,809
So, safe to conclude Agnes Parker
was the courier,
922
00:55:07,809 --> 00:55:11,143
ferrying letters between Constance
Treadwell and her "Captain".
923
00:55:11,143 --> 00:55:13,794
And then, on the night of the party
in '32,
924
00:55:13,794 --> 00:55:15,642
the theft of the Mysore Diamond...
925
00:55:15,642 --> 00:55:17,289
Agnes is murdered.
926
00:55:17,289 --> 00:55:19,820
Wildly circumstantial,
but the messenger,
927
00:55:19,820 --> 00:55:23,957
murdered by Count Ludwig because
she found out about the theft?
928
00:55:23,957 --> 00:55:26,608
She knew too much,
the Count buries her in the crypt,
929
00:55:26,608 --> 00:55:29,862
and, of course, everyone assumes
that Agnes has stolen the diamond.
930
00:55:29,862 --> 00:55:34,441
And then, years later,
the two lovers dead themselves.
931
00:55:34,441 --> 00:55:35,967
Or murdered.
932
00:55:35,967 --> 00:55:38,739
That wretched soup.
Which begs the question...
933
00:55:38,739 --> 00:55:44,724
How can the same dish kill one of us
while provoking mere unpleasantness
in the rest?
934
00:55:44,965 --> 00:55:47,696
The foxgloves tossed into the soup
by the killer
935
00:55:47,696 --> 00:55:50,909
to convince us that Miss Treadwell's
death was an accident.
936
00:55:50,909 --> 00:55:53,520
But, in fact, she was poisoned
by something else.
937
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:54,966
But what?
938
00:55:54,966 --> 00:55:56,935
- I have no idea.
- Pity.
939
00:55:58,019 --> 00:56:02,839
And who among us, I wonder, has been
quickest to defend poor
Agnes Parker?
940
00:56:03,803 --> 00:56:05,772
Yes. I was at school with her.
941
00:56:06,093 --> 00:56:08,061
They lived on our street.
942
00:56:10,150 --> 00:56:13,885
This whole business with Agnes,
well...
943
00:56:15,251 --> 00:56:17,340
It's how they treat them, isn't it?
944
00:56:17,340 --> 00:56:21,638
You never believed Agnes stole
the Mysore Diamond in '32, did you?
945
00:56:21,638 --> 00:56:24,932
Of course not.
But I didn't knock anyone off.
946
00:56:24,932 --> 00:56:27,703
And I certainly don't know anything
about any poison.
947
00:56:27,703 --> 00:56:29,631
Digi... digi...
948
00:56:29,631 --> 00:56:33,487
And yet here you are...on the
terrace.
949
00:56:34,130 --> 00:56:36,018
Count Ludwig!
950
00:56:36,018 --> 00:56:38,107
Quite alone. No witnesses.
951
00:56:38,107 --> 00:56:42,164
What do we think? Could it be that
Miss Blenkinsopp climbed into the
passage,
952
00:56:42,164 --> 00:56:44,011
fired the gunshot...
953
00:56:44,011 --> 00:56:46,060
..then back in the house?
954
00:56:48,068 --> 00:56:50,037
I don't think so.
955
00:56:51,041 --> 00:56:52,647
Not with my asthma.
956
00:56:52,647 --> 00:56:54,776
And yet, you saw something,
didn't you?
957
00:56:58,432 --> 00:57:00,360
Yes.
958
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:03,453
I realise now it must have been Cade
I saw in the garden.
959
00:57:03,453 --> 00:57:05,983
It did seem odd behaviour for a
security guard.
960
00:57:06,787 --> 00:57:09,197
I could have said something,
cried for help.
961
00:57:10,201 --> 00:57:11,767
I could have stopped it,
962
00:57:11,767 --> 00:57:13,736
but I just stood there.
963
00:57:27,312 --> 00:57:29,401
You're absolutely right, Inspector.
964
00:57:31,450 --> 00:57:33,940
I fear Mr Cade is running out of
rope.
965
00:57:37,274 --> 00:57:39,242
Mr Eversleigh.
966
00:57:39,523 --> 00:57:41,371
Here we are.
967
00:57:41,371 --> 00:57:43,621
"Dear Cade. Come to Chimneys.
968
00:57:43,821 --> 00:57:45,749
There's a trapdoor in the garden.
969
00:57:45,749 --> 00:57:47,557
11:45 sharp."
970
00:57:47,557 --> 00:57:49,284
Patent falsehood.
971
00:57:49,284 --> 00:57:52,096
Yes, well. Note the capital C?
972
00:57:52,779 --> 00:57:55,550
The letter has a little crack in it.
Do you see?
973
00:57:56,153 --> 00:57:59,246
And again here,
the same little crack.
974
00:58:00,250 --> 00:58:01,535
So?
975
00:58:01,535 --> 00:58:05,432
The note to Mr Cade appears to have
been written on this very typewriter.
976
00:58:05,432 --> 00:58:09,368
Which you yourself were using on
the very morning the letter was
dispatched.
977
00:58:10,252 --> 00:58:12,300
Oh, I see.
978
00:58:12,300 --> 00:58:14,269
You wrote this, didn't you?
979
00:58:15,233 --> 00:58:18,245
Yes. Well, some of it, anyway.
980
00:58:18,687 --> 00:58:21,017
But I don't remember anything
about 11:45.
981
00:58:21,017 --> 00:58:23,146
But your purpose in writing the
letter?
982
00:58:24,270 --> 00:58:26,841
To help Mr Cade gain access to
Chimneys?
983
00:58:28,247 --> 00:58:30,657
How long have you been acquainted
with Mr Cade?
984
00:58:30,657 --> 00:58:32,545
Couple of weeks.
985
00:58:32,545 --> 00:58:34,553
I lost rather heavily at cards.
986
00:58:34,553 --> 00:58:36,923
My pet vice, losing heavily at cards.
987
00:58:38,329 --> 00:58:40,458
I get so crashingly bored in the
office.
988
00:58:41,101 --> 00:58:44,073
There's a little room run in Aldwych,
pontoon,
989
00:58:44,073 --> 00:58:45,921
poker for the die-hards.
990
00:58:45,921 --> 00:58:47,889
How much did you lose?
991
00:58:49,014 --> 00:58:50,982
97 quid.
992
00:58:52,187 --> 00:58:55,200
Anyway, in walked Cade.
Said he could cover the debt.
993
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:57,570
He said we could help each other out.
994
00:58:57,610 --> 00:59:00,140
Go on.
995
00:59:00,371 --> 00:59:03,786
So, this gentleman from Pretoria
who's holding your friend?
996
00:59:04,709 --> 00:59:06,678
He has a pet passion.
997
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:09,128
Diamonds?
998
00:59:09,128 --> 00:59:10,413
Yes.
999
00:59:11,337 --> 00:59:13,305
The Mysore Diamond?
1000
00:59:15,756 --> 00:59:21,901
He gave me six weeks to bring him
the real McCoy or Jimmy's life would
be forfeit.
1001
00:59:21,901 --> 00:59:26,199
So you staged the street assault
to endear yourself to Virginia?
1002
00:59:28,007 --> 00:59:29,091
Yes.
1003
00:59:29,091 --> 00:59:33,349
Posing as the good Samaritan to
creep into the affections of an
innocent young woman.
1004
00:59:33,349 --> 00:59:35,679
George, please, my head is splitting.
1005
00:59:36,763 --> 00:59:38,732
And the assailant?
1006
00:59:39,816 --> 00:59:40,619
Agh!
1007
00:59:43,953 --> 00:59:45,239
Sorry.
1008
00:59:45,841 --> 00:59:50,019
But your real purpose was to
gain access to Chimneys, where the
diamond was first hidden.
1009
00:59:50,019 --> 00:59:51,987
I am a decent man. Pah.
1010
00:59:52,429 --> 00:59:55,000
A decent man who did a stupid thing.
I had no choice.
1011
00:59:56,446 --> 00:59:58,414
Ditto. Absolutely.
1012
01:00:02,270 --> 01:00:04,158
Anthony Cade, I am arresting you
1013
01:00:04,158 --> 01:00:07,733
on suspicion of the murder
of Count Ludwig Von Stainach.
1014
01:00:10,384 --> 01:00:12,352
Get out!
1015
01:00:16,048 --> 01:00:17,694
I love you.
1016
01:00:19,823 --> 01:00:21,310
And you.
1017
01:00:22,153 --> 01:00:23,720
Really?
1018
01:00:28,781 --> 01:00:33,400
Nobody say anything, please.
Just for a moment.
1019
01:00:52,721 --> 01:00:59,027
I think, despite everything, that
this must be
my favourite room in the world.
1020
01:01:01,959 --> 01:01:03,928
It was out of bounds as a boy,
1021
01:01:04,811 --> 01:01:07,985
so naturally it was where
one longed to be.
1022
01:01:08,286 --> 01:01:10,254
And this heraldic brute.
1023
01:01:11,379 --> 01:01:15,215
Oh, the battles we fought,
through shot and shell.
1024
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:19,633
Armies, dragons, the whole works.
1025
01:01:20,376 --> 01:01:23,670
Then one summer, 12 years old,
1026
01:01:24,172 --> 01:01:27,125
just tall enough to open his visor,
1027
01:01:28,008 --> 01:01:31,684
my brother in arms was nothing at
all.
1028
01:01:31,985 --> 01:01:34,114
Just empty air.
1029
01:01:34,515 --> 01:01:38,412
If this is you gently breaking the
news that Anthony Cade is
no knight in shining armour,
1030
01:01:38,412 --> 01:01:40,741
consider me rudely awoken.
1031
01:01:40,982 --> 01:01:42,951
No, no.
1032
01:01:43,734 --> 01:01:46,807
I'm saying that love is its own
adventure.
1033
01:01:47,349 --> 01:01:51,768
Take no-one for granted,
not even those closest to home.
1034
01:01:53,716 --> 01:01:55,483
- Jane, help me.
- No, no.
1035
01:01:57,893 --> 01:01:59,861
I know what you're saying.
1036
01:02:01,810 --> 01:02:03,215
Wish me luck.
1037
01:02:10,827 --> 01:02:14,021
Excuse me, George.
Sorry to barge in on matters of
state.
1038
01:02:15,888 --> 01:02:17,254
I accept.
1039
01:02:17,957 --> 01:02:21,873
- I beg your pardon?
- The offer. If it's still open.
1040
01:02:21,150 --> 01:02:24,002
I know how sticky you are about
ultimata.
1041
01:02:24,002 --> 01:02:26,573
But... Cade?
1042
01:02:27,577 --> 01:02:30,188
Oh. That was a dream I had.
1043
01:02:30,991 --> 01:02:32,960
I'm awake now.
1044
01:02:33,020 --> 01:02:37,217
Well, I'm delighted to hear it.
1045
01:02:59,069 --> 01:03:01,037
Well, well.
1046
01:03:01,921 --> 01:03:03,889
The first of many.
1047
01:03:04,391 --> 01:03:06,580
A drink. Champagne.
1048
01:03:07,705 --> 01:03:08,990
A toast!
1049
01:03:36,786 --> 01:03:38,895
What are you doing?
1050
01:03:39,156 --> 01:03:40,241
(Blows horn)
1051
01:03:40,241 --> 01:03:42,209
Get off him!
1052
01:03:44,177 --> 01:03:45,182
You stay there.
1053
01:03:51,689 --> 01:03:52,813
Virginia!
1054
01:03:54,782 --> 01:03:56,067
Virginia!
1055
01:03:56,107 --> 01:03:58,839
A toast. To us.
1056
01:04:00,526 --> 01:04:02,494
Cheers. Cheers.
1057
01:04:03,056 --> 01:04:04,462
Cheers.
1058
01:04:15,428 --> 01:04:16,954
(Thud)
1059
01:04:16,954 --> 01:04:18,641
What on earth was that?
1060
01:04:18,641 --> 01:04:22,377
It came from inside the house.
In the passageway.
1061
01:04:22,337 --> 01:04:24,004
Sir, Cade's escaped.
1062
01:04:24,707 --> 01:04:26,876
Try the trapdoor.
1063
01:04:27,077 --> 01:04:29,045
It's stuck.
1064
01:04:35,472 --> 01:04:36,797
Virginia!
1065
01:04:37,681 --> 01:04:38,886
Virginia!
1066
01:04:38,886 --> 01:04:42,863
Mr Cade, all this isn't going to
look very bright in court.
1067
01:04:42,863 --> 01:04:44,831
Virginia! I want you to know.
1068
01:04:46,036 --> 01:04:48,165
I want to give you something -
the diamond.
1069
01:04:49,450 --> 01:04:51,418
Not that I give a damn.
1070
01:04:52,061 --> 01:04:55,154
You're the only prize worth dying
for.
1071
01:04:55,636 --> 01:04:57,403
And it's got to be here somewhere.
1072
01:04:58,448 --> 01:05:01,541
And when I find it, it's yours.
Do you hear?
1073
01:05:02,183 --> 01:05:03,348
Anthony!
1074
01:05:04,955 --> 01:05:06,160
Got it!
1075
01:05:11,020 --> 01:05:12,346
It's him.
1076
01:05:13,310 --> 01:05:14,836
Get off me.
1077
01:05:19,938 --> 01:05:21,604
He couldn't even get that right.
1078
01:05:22,227 --> 01:05:24,215
What's he trying to prove?
1079
01:05:25,561 --> 01:05:27,831
Well, he has proven one thing.
1080
01:05:28,333 --> 01:05:30,301
- Oh?
- His innocence.
1081
01:05:32,631 --> 01:05:35,603
May I show you?
1082
01:05:37,933 --> 01:05:40,905
(Muffled thuds)
1083
01:05:43,155 --> 01:05:47,573
We were all standing just where we
were the moment of the fatal
gunshot. Agreed?
1084
01:05:47,573 --> 01:05:49,702
- Indeed.
- Everything just as it was?
1085
01:05:49,983 --> 01:05:53,237
No. The gunshot, it was too quiet.
1086
01:05:53,237 --> 01:05:56,089
Yes, it was much quieter, Inspector.
1087
01:05:56,149 --> 01:05:58,378
Like Mr Cade's hammering a few
moments ago,
1088
01:05:59,061 --> 01:06:02,756
whereas the sound we thought was the
gunshot made my ears ring.
1089
01:06:03,801 --> 01:06:06,532
Mr Cade, you remember, out in the
garden,
1090
01:06:07,095 --> 01:06:09,465
what did he see on that warm night?
1091
01:06:10,750 --> 01:06:12,718
Someone had lit a fire.
1092
01:06:13,361 --> 01:06:17,619
And then that off-cut of flex
that had no business being in the
compost.
1093
01:06:17,940 --> 01:06:19,828
A piece of fuse, Inspector.
1094
01:06:20,471 --> 01:06:24,407
The Count's killer lit something
in the chimney that evening.
1095
01:06:25,130 --> 01:06:29,870
On a slow fuse, timed to explode
15 minutes later,
1096
01:06:29,870 --> 01:06:32,722
to deceive us all that what we heard
was a gunshot
1097
01:06:32,722 --> 01:06:35,413
when what we, in fact, heard
was a firework.
1098
01:06:38,104 --> 01:06:40,474
What was it you said, Inspector?
1099
01:06:40,474 --> 01:06:45,174
"Like it or not, Anthony Cade was
found in that tunnel
with the smoking gun."
1100
01:06:46,861 --> 01:06:49,552
But what if the gun was not smoking?
1101
01:06:49,552 --> 01:06:53,087
What if the Count was killed
earlier than supposed,
1102
01:06:53,087 --> 01:06:56,541
after the men retired from their
business at quarter to eleven
1103
01:06:56,983 --> 01:07:00,277
but before the alarm bell
almost an hour later?
1104
01:07:01,361 --> 01:07:04,213
Suddenly, the killer could be any
one of us.
1105
01:07:04,213 --> 01:07:06,141
Are you sure?
1106
01:07:06,141 --> 01:07:10,921
You recall the Count's interest,
over dinner, in The Duke Of
Richmond?
1107
01:07:12,006 --> 01:07:16,826
No great feat to quietly invite the
Count back after the rest of us were
in bed,
1108
01:07:17,589 --> 01:07:20,200
show him the hidden bolt,
tempt him inside,
1109
01:07:20,883 --> 01:07:22,490
then shoot him,
1110
01:07:22,490 --> 01:07:26,065
and toss the gun to be found later
as if abandoned by the killer.
1111
01:07:27,189 --> 01:07:30,584
Sadly for the Count,
he didn't die straightaway.
1112
01:07:30,845 --> 01:07:33,656
The murderer's only mistake,
if mistake it was.
1113
01:07:34,138 --> 01:07:35,183
Good God!
1114
01:07:35,183 --> 01:07:38,959
The poor man was still living
when Mr Cade found him some time
later.
1115
01:07:41,168 --> 01:07:43,136
Go on, Jane.
1116
01:07:44,140 --> 01:07:45,948
Those letters...
1117
01:07:46,510 --> 01:07:49,442
I've been woefully, unforgivably
naive.
1118
01:07:49,764 --> 01:07:52,997
Constance and the Captain -
ah, the romance of it.
1119
01:07:53,359 --> 01:07:56,050
One gets swept along and yet...
1120
01:07:56,974 --> 01:07:59,243
Let me pose a question.
1121
01:08:00,147 --> 01:08:03,300
A pair of lovers,
determined to hide their secret,
1122
01:08:03,692 --> 01:08:06,222
might they not write under an alias?
1123
01:08:06,243 --> 01:08:08,874
Indeed, Count Ludwig
called himself the Captain.
1124
01:08:08,874 --> 01:08:12,730
So he did. But why just the Count
and not Constance?
1125
01:08:12,730 --> 01:08:15,421
Did she not fear exposure as much as
him?
1126
01:08:16,465 --> 01:08:20,763
Unless Constance was also an alias.
1127
01:08:21,968 --> 01:08:26,748
So the Constance of the letters
was not Treadwell?
1128
01:08:28,435 --> 01:08:30,404
Forgive me, Bundle.
1129
01:08:31,488 --> 01:08:34,260
I took this from your scrapbook.
1130
01:08:35,746 --> 01:08:37,393
It's a dog. So what?
1131
01:08:38,196 --> 01:08:40,486
Well, it's Mama's first mutt.
1132
01:08:40,847 --> 01:08:43,659
Captain. It was called Captain.
1133
01:08:43,659 --> 01:08:46,872
It was so besotted with Treadwell
Mama used to joke they were like...
1134
01:08:46,872 --> 01:08:48,680
"Perfect lovers."
1135
01:08:51,291 --> 01:08:53,621
Our mother must have thought of
these aliases.
1136
01:08:53,621 --> 01:08:55,709
Constance and her Captain.
1137
01:08:55,709 --> 01:08:58,240
Our mother...
Took the alias "Constance".
1138
01:08:59,565 --> 01:09:01,815
Your mother was the Count's
secret lover.
1139
01:09:08,924 --> 01:09:10,290
I don't understand.
1140
01:09:10,290 --> 01:09:14,789
Are you saying that the Count and
Madeleine stole the diamond?
1141
01:09:14,789 --> 01:09:17,119
Oh, that wretched diamond.
1142
01:09:17,119 --> 01:09:22,782
We're all so bewitched by the Mysore
Diamond, we forge our theories and
forget the facts.
1143
01:09:23,345 --> 01:09:25,674
It is so important to see things
clearly,
1144
01:09:25,674 --> 01:09:28,607
as if through a pane of glass,
and not a prism.
1145
01:09:28,968 --> 01:09:30,936
Excuse me.
1146
01:09:32,704 --> 01:09:34,672
Sorry.
1147
01:09:40,376 --> 01:09:42,344
Good God.
1148
01:09:51,302 --> 01:09:52,707
May I?
1149
01:09:52,707 --> 01:09:57,407
I'm afraid there's no way the Count
murdered Agnes and made off
with the diamond.
1150
01:09:58,371 --> 01:10:01,103
Because the diamond has been with
Agnes all the time.
1151
01:10:01,946 --> 01:10:05,320
In the tomb, just where the killer
left it.
1152
01:10:08,172 --> 01:10:10,622
When we found poor Agnes's bones,
do you remember?
1153
01:10:13,073 --> 01:10:15,483
Your histrionics in the crypt.
1154
01:10:15,884 --> 01:10:17,853
You took it then, didn't you?
1155
01:10:18,294 --> 01:10:20,263
Then dropped it in the fountain.
1156
01:10:21,628 --> 01:10:23,757
Why else would you be drying your
hands?
1157
01:10:34,522 --> 01:10:35,567
Daddy?
1158
01:10:37,254 --> 01:10:38,860
Why?
1159
01:10:39,865 --> 01:10:42,154
The night of the party.
1160
01:10:42,154 --> 01:10:44,122
'32.
1161
01:10:45,006 --> 01:10:47,055
I'd lost a cufflink, if you can
believe it.
1162
01:10:50,850 --> 01:10:52,979
I went upstairs and then...
1163
01:10:52,979 --> 01:10:54,948
(Waltz)
1164
01:10:59,768 --> 01:11:02,981
No, no, you mustn't go in there,
please.
1165
01:11:04,708 --> 01:11:06,596
Please, sir, listen to what I'm
saying.
1166
01:11:07,480 --> 01:11:09,810
I'd not meant to kill her,
1167
01:11:09,810 --> 01:11:15,875
but she tried to prevent me
from seeing my wife
and the fiddle player.
1168
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:19,169
And then my mind cleared.
1169
01:11:21,258 --> 01:11:23,226
I took the diamond.
1170
01:11:23,507 --> 01:11:25,475
Left it with Agnes.
1171
01:11:28,548 --> 01:11:32,284
Naturally it was assumed
that she had run off with it.
1172
01:11:33,288 --> 01:11:39,052
Then all that remained
was to tell my wife a white lie.
1173
01:11:39,313 --> 01:11:42,024
You told her Agnes had been seen.
1174
01:11:42,024 --> 01:11:44,916
Cavorting with the Viennese fiddler
1175
01:11:44,916 --> 01:11:48,552
who, of course, went on writing to
her for quite some time,
1176
01:11:48,552 --> 01:11:50,640
but I took care of those letters.
1177
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:53,854
They would only have caused her
pain.
1178
01:11:54,878 --> 01:11:56,846
It's funny, looking back.
1179
01:11:57,127 --> 01:11:59,819
She was so easily deceived.
1180
01:12:00,381 --> 01:12:07,129
These romances are so fragile.
1181
01:12:06,647 --> 01:12:08,615
There's no real devotion at all.
1182
01:12:08,505 --> 01:12:12,562
Not such as we all had together,
1183
01:12:15,173 --> 01:12:18,145
as a family, here at Chimneys.
1184
01:12:18,145 --> 01:12:20,114
She was unhappy.
1185
01:12:20,716 --> 01:12:23,086
Trapped. No wonder she got ill.
1186
01:12:23,086 --> 01:12:28,227
But after she died, you found the
earlier letters, didn't you, from
the Captain?
1187
01:12:28,468 --> 01:12:31,120
She'd kept them safe, all these
years.
1188
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:33,088
Yes, indeed.
1189
01:12:34,092 --> 01:12:36,060
Every word.
1190
01:12:36,542 --> 01:12:40,438
So that when Mr Lomax showed you
the letter from Count Ludwig,
1191
01:12:40,438 --> 01:12:42,246
suggesting a visit to Chimneys
1192
01:12:42,246 --> 01:12:44,495
you knew the handwriting at once.
1193
01:12:44,495 --> 01:12:48,231
A precise match for the old love
letters. And you knew...
1194
01:12:48,231 --> 01:12:52,469
The Captain was on his way.
1195
01:12:52,870 --> 01:12:54,437
But why the firework?
1196
01:12:55,381 --> 01:12:58,062
Why 11:45?
1197
01:12:58,956 --> 01:13:05,021
Mr Eversleigh, is it possible that
the letter you wrote to Mr Cade was
in fact left unsealed?
1198
01:13:06,025 --> 01:13:08,355
Your guest has arrived, sir.
1199
01:13:09,359 --> 01:13:11,207
Still on the desk?
1200
01:13:11,207 --> 01:13:13,617
Letters for posting on his
Lordship's desk.
1201
01:13:17,313 --> 01:13:20,365
All that remained was to add the
time.
1202
01:13:25,426 --> 01:13:28,439
You wrote and posted the letter
to Cade yourself.
1203
01:13:29,564 --> 01:13:32,576
And staged the gunshot for 11:45
to incriminate Cade.
1204
01:13:32,536 --> 01:13:35,418
What better way to be rid of your
enemies?
1205
01:13:35,418 --> 01:13:37,758
Frame one for the killing of the
other.
1206
01:13:38,622 --> 01:13:42,598
Cade is no good.
You said as much yourself.
1207
01:13:42,699 --> 01:13:44,868
And as for this plan to ship you off
to Africa...
1208
01:13:44,868 --> 01:13:50,813
Now, don't look at me like that.
You cannot build a marriage on lies.
1209
01:13:50,813 --> 01:13:53,524
Aren't you supposed to build it on
love?
1210
01:13:56,416 --> 01:13:58,625
And Treadwell?
1211
01:13:58,625 --> 01:14:00,955
As we thought.
1212
01:14:00,955 --> 01:14:03,325
Poisoned not by the foxglove
leaves...
1213
01:14:04,731 --> 01:14:07,101
..but by your tonic.
1214
01:14:08,667 --> 01:14:10,635
Active ingredient: digitalis.
1215
01:14:11,037 --> 01:14:12,644
A huge overdose.
1216
01:14:13,688 --> 01:14:15,656
I do regret that.
1217
01:14:15,897 --> 01:14:17,866
She was a faithful servant.
1218
01:14:18,227 --> 01:14:20,195
More faithful than you knew.
1219
01:14:20,677 --> 01:14:25,859
You were so fearful that she would
tell the Inspector about the affair.
On the contrary.
1220
01:14:26,060 --> 01:14:29,635
She was taking measures
to protect her mistress's secret.
1221
01:14:29,635 --> 01:14:32,366
As soon as Agnes's bones were
recovered,
1222
01:14:32,366 --> 01:14:36,142
she took the letters from amongst
your possessions to her own room.
1223
01:14:37,588 --> 01:14:39,556
If I'd let her live,
1224
01:14:40,119 --> 01:14:42,087
no-one would have found out.
1225
01:14:42,930 --> 01:14:44,899
Is that what you mean?
1226
01:14:46,425 --> 01:14:49,679
Well, that's it, then.
1227
01:14:50,361 --> 01:14:52,450
Not quite.
1228
01:14:52,450 --> 01:14:54,057
Daddy?
1229
01:14:56,507 --> 01:14:58,716
"Return one day for the greatest
jewel."
1230
01:14:59,921 --> 01:15:01,287
Stop.
1231
01:15:01,287 --> 01:15:05,103
What if this jewel was a diamond
of a different kind?
1232
01:15:05,103 --> 01:15:07,794
Stop! Whatever it is, we have a
right to know.
1233
01:15:13,940 --> 01:15:15,707
A rose.
1234
01:15:15,707 --> 01:15:17,676
Not just any rose.
1235
01:15:18,559 --> 01:15:20,527
The Richmond rose.
1236
01:15:23,861 --> 01:15:25,950
"Richmond Twenty, North Three East."
1237
01:15:25,950 --> 01:15:28,320
The Richmond referred to is not the
portrait.
1238
01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:31,493
Precisely. The rose of Richmond.
1239
01:15:32,417 --> 01:15:33,542
Ah.
1240
01:15:34,988 --> 01:15:37,599
Well, these directions,
where did they lead?
1241
01:15:41,415 --> 01:15:42,981
(Counts to herself)
1242
01:15:52,622 --> 01:15:54,590
One, two...
1243
01:15:57,161 --> 01:15:59,129
I don't understand.
1244
01:16:00,053 --> 01:16:01,499
Jane?
1245
01:16:01,499 --> 01:16:04,110
The Count's last words. Do you
remember?
1246
01:16:04,471 --> 01:16:06,359
Der Wand. The wall.
1247
01:16:06,359 --> 01:16:08,970
We thought he meant the wall
in the passageway.
1248
01:16:10,295 --> 01:16:13,388
But this Virginia creeper,
when was it planted?
1249
01:16:14,593 --> 01:16:20,578
Madeleine planted it 23 years ago
to celebrate your birth.
1250
01:16:20,578 --> 01:16:22,627
Virginia creeper.
1251
01:16:24,716 --> 01:16:27,889
He knew, I'm sure he did, as he lay
dying.
1252
01:16:28,933 --> 01:16:31,062
The rose, the dance...
1253
01:16:32,789 --> 01:16:34,758
..it all made sense.
1254
01:16:36,083 --> 01:16:41,024
I think your mother wrote to the
Count, shortly before she passed away.
1255
01:16:42,470 --> 01:16:44,398
The coded letter?
1256
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:48,214
She didn't want the truth to die
with her, not quite.
1257
01:16:50,102 --> 01:16:52,833
- So, you mean...
- You were the "greatest jewel".
1258
01:16:53,797 --> 01:16:55,765
He'd come to take you away.
1259
01:16:56,288 --> 01:16:58,256
My own little girl.
1260
01:17:05,727 --> 01:17:07,294
My darling girl.
1261
01:17:10,668 --> 01:17:12,515
He was my father?
1262
01:16:37,925 --> 01:16:39,060
No.
1263
01:16:39,803 --> 01:16:40,851
No.
1264
01:17:28,374 --> 01:17:31,737
I feel, if you were to let go now...
I won't.
1265
01:17:31,737 --> 01:17:34,271
I'd just float off and...
1266
01:17:35,363 --> 01:17:37,066
I won't.
1267
01:17:41,391 --> 01:17:43,924
Come on. No use putting off the
inevitable.
1268
01:17:44,754 --> 01:17:47,025
Are you going to tell her or shall I?
1269
01:17:47,025 --> 01:17:50,782
Oh, I think it's best coming from
me.
1270
01:17:54,669 --> 01:17:56,809
Blenkinsopp!
1271
01:18:04,803 --> 01:18:06,768
Oh, dear.
1272
01:18:06,768 --> 01:18:09,083
Oh, dear. Bundle won't like that at
all.
1273
01:18:10,874 --> 01:18:13,932
But you're not selling Chimneys?
1274
01:18:14,412 --> 01:18:19,031
Well, Bundle couldn't bear to stay
on, and I don't want to live here,
1275
01:18:19,031 --> 01:18:20,549
so what do you think?
1276
01:18:20,549 --> 01:18:24,284
Pass the whole headache on to
Blenkinsopp
and her tea and scones. Why not?
1277
01:18:25,245 --> 01:18:27,953
Will she be all right? Bundle, I
mean.
1278
01:18:27,953 --> 01:18:31,491
Oh, she'll foist herself
onto some undeserving cause.
1279
01:18:31,491 --> 01:18:33,718
Her father? I suppose.
1280
01:18:33,718 --> 01:18:35,422
And you?
1281
01:18:37,169 --> 01:18:39,309
Here they come.
1282
01:18:40,576 --> 01:18:42,891
A happy marriage.
1283
01:18:42,891 --> 01:18:44,944
It can't be that difficult, can it?
1284
01:18:44,944 --> 01:18:47,128
Go with your heart.
1285
01:18:47,128 --> 01:18:49,225
Like mother?
1286
01:18:49,225 --> 01:18:51,889
I keep thinking,
if she loved her Count so much,
1287
01:18:52,981 --> 01:18:55,514
why was she so quick to believe he'd
run off?
1288
01:18:55,995 --> 01:18:58,878
I suppose love is an act of courage.
1289
01:19:05,473 --> 01:19:06,565
Yes.
1290
01:19:14,428 --> 01:19:16,655
Miss Marple.
Goodbye, Inspector.
1291
01:19:16,655 --> 01:19:17,966
Thank you.
1292
01:19:17,966 --> 01:19:21,067
I see now I've grown too fond
of my own reputation.
1293
01:19:22,770 --> 01:19:26,177
I was so bewitched by the blasted
diamond.
1294
01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:29,759
And now look at me.
The latest of your casualties.
1295
01:19:32,336 --> 01:19:34,476
What do you think?
1296
01:19:35,656 --> 01:19:38,014
Interpol want me to take it to South
Africa,
1297
01:19:38,014 --> 01:19:40,897
entrap this villainous fellow from
Pretoria.
1298
01:19:40,897 --> 01:19:44,872
You know, Inspector, I don't care
for it at all.
1299
01:19:46,488 --> 01:19:47,799
Goodbye.
1300
01:19:48,305 --> 01:20:48,651
