1
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,639
SIMON: The City of London was first
written about by the Romans 1900 years ago.

2
00:00:30,044 --> 00:00:35,043
Nowhere else in the world can you borrow loot
so easily - but don't try for just half a dollar.

3
00:00:36,088 --> 00:00:39,207
Nobody's interested unless you
want at least a couple of million.

4
00:00:40,250 --> 00:00:41,689
The Royal Exchange.

5
00:00:41,731 --> 00:00:43,730
The Bank of England.

6
00:00:44,813 --> 00:00:48,652
Buildings like these were built
for men like Sir John Mulliner.

7
00:00:59,942 --> 00:01:02,181
Simon, nice of you to come.

8
00:01:02,224 --> 00:01:03,463
My pleasure.

9
00:01:08,707 --> 00:01:11,426
I must admit you twisted my arm a little.

10
00:01:11,470 --> 00:01:12,989
I did? How?

11
00:01:13,031 --> 00:01:15,470
By owning a shipping line and a
merchant bank.

12
00:01:17,033 --> 00:01:18,072
Now, why did you want to see me?

13
00:01:18,113 --> 00:01:20,112
Simon, I'm worried.

14
00:01:20,155 --> 00:01:22,794
Ooh! That blasted arthritis.

15
00:01:24,437 --> 00:01:26,236
I got this in the post yesterday.

16
00:01:28,079 --> 00:01:30,078
SIMON: What does it mean?

17
00:01:33,724 --> 00:01:35,443
Sir John!

18
00:01:35,484 --> 00:01:37,003
Driver, pull over.

19
00:01:49,933 --> 00:01:51,852
DRIVER: But how?

20
00:01:53,376 --> 00:01:56,095
He expected this. That's why he sent
for you.

21
00:01:56,137 --> 00:01:58,816
He said, if anybody could possibly
save his life,

22
00:01:58,858 --> 00:02:00,657
it'd be the famous...

23
00:02:00,700 --> 00:02:01,939
Simon Templar.

24
00:03:11,184 --> 00:03:13,103
Oh, Lord!

25
00:03:13,145 --> 00:03:14,944
Look, what the devil are we?

26
00:03:14,987 --> 00:03:16,746
Company directors or office boys?

27
00:03:16,788 --> 00:03:18,147
I'm due at Lloyd's in an hour.

28
00:03:18,188 --> 00:03:21,267
Carl, please. John will be here any
moment.

29
00:03:21,310 --> 00:03:23,309
Ah, here he is now.

30
00:03:31,596 --> 00:03:33,315
Neal. Hi.

31
00:03:33,358 --> 00:03:36,357
Sorry we're late.
That's all right. John hasn't arrived yet.

32
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,039
Hasn't arrived?

33
00:03:38,081 --> 00:03:40,080
What is this all about?

34
00:03:41,763 --> 00:03:43,922
Has anybody the remotest idea why
we're here?

35
00:03:43,964 --> 00:03:45,043
Not a clue.

36
00:03:45,085 --> 00:03:47,764
I have an appointment at half past
three. Put it off.

37
00:03:47,808 --> 00:03:50,407
I will not.
I would, if I were you.

38
00:03:50,449 --> 00:03:53,728
Gilbert, you're not Lord Mayor of
London yet.

39
00:03:53,770 --> 00:03:56,569
Don't anticipate your authority.

40
00:03:56,613 --> 00:03:58,132
Gentlemen, please!

41
00:03:58,173 --> 00:04:01,172
John has something important to say
to us and he's...

42
00:04:01,216 --> 00:04:03,335
he's bringing Simon Templar with him.

43
00:04:03,376 --> 00:04:04,775
Templar?

44
00:04:04,817 --> 00:04:08,776
What possible business could Combined
Holdings have with a man like Simon Templar?

45
00:04:24,710 --> 00:04:26,669
WOMAN: Please!

46
00:04:35,957 --> 00:04:37,396
Which floor?

47
00:04:37,438 --> 00:04:38,997
Penthouse.

48
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,639
The Kirby apartment?

49
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,279
Yes.

50
00:05:02,494 --> 00:05:04,013
You work for Gilbert Kirby?

51
00:05:04,054 --> 00:05:05,893
No. He keeps me.

52
00:05:05,936 --> 00:05:07,855
KIRBY: Ah, Mr Templar.

53
00:05:09,258 --> 00:05:11,817
Good of you to come. Come in.

54
00:05:11,859 --> 00:05:13,778
Gentlemen, this is Simon Templar.

55
00:05:13,820 --> 00:05:16,219
These are board members
of Combined Holdings.

56
00:05:16,262 --> 00:05:17,901
Elliott Stratton.

57
00:05:17,943 --> 00:05:19,902
Mr Templar.
John Ramsay.

58
00:05:19,945 --> 00:05:21,864
How do you do?
Carl Howard.

59
00:05:21,906 --> 00:05:24,225
How do you do?
Neal Lammerton.

60
00:05:24,267 --> 00:05:25,146
Yeah.

61
00:05:25,187 --> 00:05:26,546
Gentlemen...

62
00:05:27,589 --> 00:05:29,548
I see you've met my daughter.

63
00:05:29,591 --> 00:05:32,790
Your...daughter? Yes, we met in the lift.

64
00:05:32,833 --> 00:05:34,632
I thought John was coming with you.

65
00:05:36,595 --> 00:05:40,114
Yes, he was, but I'm afraid he...
won't be coming now.

66
00:05:41,157 --> 00:05:43,996
Gentlemen, I'm...sorry to have to
tell you this,

67
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:50,239
but Sir John Mulliner is dead.
How?

68
00:05:52,084 --> 00:05:53,963
In his car, on the way here.

69
00:05:54,006 --> 00:05:55,645
I can't believe it!
An accident?

70
00:05:56,687 --> 00:05:58,646
No. Well, what happened?

71
00:06:00,290 --> 00:06:03,289
He got into the car and collapsed.
It looked like a heart attack.

72
00:06:04,412 --> 00:06:06,091
Oh, God!

73
00:06:07,134 --> 00:06:09,093
This is terrible.

74
00:06:09,135 --> 00:06:11,654
Gilbert, we must be disciplined
about this.

75
00:06:12,377 --> 00:06:13,816
Let's not go to pieces.

76
00:06:15,178 --> 00:06:17,177
Mr Templar, with John gone,

77
00:06:17,220 --> 00:06:20,539
five directors of Combined Holdings
have died in as many months.

78
00:06:20,583 --> 00:06:25,022
I knew John was going to call you. He told me
he wanted you to investigate the situation.

79
00:06:25,065 --> 00:06:28,104
What "situation"?
Isn't it obvious?

80
00:06:28,147 --> 00:06:31,706
They all died of perfectly natural
causes. John thought otherwise.

81
00:06:31,750 --> 00:06:35,469
If any investigation is necessary, which
it is not, it will be done by the police.

82
00:06:35,511 --> 00:06:37,390
That is the last thing we want.
Why?

83
00:06:37,432 --> 00:06:40,871
The publicity. Mr Templar can
work unofficially and discreetly.

84
00:06:40,915 --> 00:06:44,034
Since when has he been famous
for keeping off the front page?

85
00:06:44,077 --> 00:06:45,676
Now, Neal, be reasonable.

86
00:06:45,717 --> 00:06:48,836
No investigation is necessary.
I don't agree.

87
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,879
Very well, we'll put it to a vote.

88
00:06:52,203 --> 00:06:53,762
Carl?

89
00:06:53,803 --> 00:06:55,802
Do you want Templar involved in this?

90
00:06:56,844 --> 00:06:58,123
No.

91
00:06:58,165 --> 00:06:59,564
Ramsay?

92
00:07:00,607 --> 00:07:02,566
No, I suppose not.

93
00:07:02,609 --> 00:07:04,088
Elliott?

94
00:07:05,250 --> 00:07:06,889
Yes, it's...
"Yes" will do.

95
00:07:08,692 --> 00:07:10,651
We don't want a sermon.

96
00:07:12,495 --> 00:07:14,174
Three against two.

97
00:07:14,216 --> 00:07:16,375
Mr Templar, your services are not required.

98
00:07:16,417 --> 00:07:18,056
And now we have work to do.

99
00:07:18,098 --> 00:07:19,577
Carl? Coming.

100
00:07:23,781 --> 00:07:26,340
Neal, this is not coincidence.

101
00:07:26,384 --> 00:07:27,783
It has to be.

102
00:07:27,824 --> 00:07:32,023
John had a physical a month ago. He told me.
Clean bill of health. Heart as sound as a rock.

103
00:07:32,067 --> 00:07:34,986
My father was first.
He collapsed at a board meeting.

104
00:07:36,029 --> 00:07:38,908
Combined Holdings had just
taken over Stratton Enterprises.

105
00:07:38,951 --> 00:07:42,070
Collapsed?
The doctor said it was a massive coronary.

106
00:07:42,113 --> 00:07:43,912
Anne and I took him to the hospital.

107
00:07:43,954 --> 00:07:45,913
And he was dead before we got there.

108
00:07:45,956 --> 00:07:47,675
Who are you talking about?

109
00:07:47,716 --> 00:07:50,995
Elliott's father.
SIMON: Was there...anything suspicious?

110
00:07:51,039 --> 00:07:52,958
Nothing that I know of.

111
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,679
Hmm...

112
00:07:55,722 --> 00:07:57,681
What makes you ask?

113
00:07:58,803 --> 00:08:00,442
Have you seen one of these before?

114
00:08:00,484 --> 00:08:02,083
BOTH: No.

115
00:08:03,487 --> 00:08:05,726
Does it mean anything to you?

116
00:08:05,768 --> 00:08:07,567
Nothing.

117
00:08:07,609 --> 00:08:10,328
Your father didn't get one
a day or so before his death?

118
00:08:10,371 --> 00:08:12,450
Well, if he did, he didn't mention it.

119
00:08:13,853 --> 00:08:15,572
Five deaths in five months.

120
00:08:17,015 --> 00:08:18,014
Were there autopsies?

121
00:08:18,055 --> 00:08:20,854
I have the reports in the office.
Anne will get them for you.

122
00:08:20,897 --> 00:08:22,736
I'll be glad to.

123
00:08:22,779 --> 00:08:24,458
Mr Templar...

124
00:08:24,500 --> 00:08:26,659
I apologise for what happened just now.

125
00:08:26,701 --> 00:08:31,140
Personally, I'd be only too glad of your help,
but now the board have refused permission...

126
00:08:31,184 --> 00:08:32,943
Let's get one thing straight.

127
00:08:32,985 --> 00:08:35,224
John Mulliner was a friend of mine.

128
00:08:35,266 --> 00:08:37,225
So I am going to investigate his death,

129
00:08:37,268 --> 00:08:39,907
with...or without permission.

130
00:08:48,074 --> 00:08:49,793
Mr Templar, I assure you,

131
00:08:49,835 --> 00:08:53,714
you have no grounds whatsoever
for supposing Sir John Mulliner was murdered.

132
00:08:53,758 --> 00:08:56,637
Doctor, you did the autopsy
personally? I did.

133
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,518
He died of a coronary thrombosis.

134
00:08:58,561 --> 00:09:00,680
Nothing unusual?
Nothing.

135
00:09:00,722 --> 00:09:02,241
Quite the reverse.

136
00:09:02,283 --> 00:09:04,282
He was 59 years old.

137
00:09:04,325 --> 00:09:07,524
He drank, smoked, ate...
and worked too much.

138
00:09:07,566 --> 00:09:10,365
It's a depressingly familiar pattern.
Forgive me,

139
00:09:10,408 --> 00:09:12,527
but could you have missed anything?

140
00:09:12,570 --> 00:09:15,129
Such as what? A fractured skull?

141
00:09:15,172 --> 00:09:16,731
A bullet wound?

142
00:09:16,772 --> 00:09:18,891
No, I mean, could he have been poisoned?

143
00:09:18,934 --> 00:09:20,373
That's quite impossible.

144
00:09:20,414 --> 00:09:23,653
But heart attacks can be induced
by certain drugs?

145
00:09:23,697 --> 00:09:26,896
They can, but if such a drug had been
present, I'd have found it.

146
00:09:26,938 --> 00:09:28,057
I see.

147
00:09:28,099 --> 00:09:30,098
Well, thank you for your time.

148
00:09:30,140 --> 00:09:31,459
I am sorry.

149
00:09:31,501 --> 00:09:34,940
I can't change my medical opinion
just to fit in with your wild fantasies.

150
00:09:43,629 --> 00:09:47,068
I promise you, Mr Templar,
the day he died started like any other day.

151
00:09:47,111 --> 00:09:49,470
I took him coffee and orange juice
in bed at seven.

152
00:09:49,513 --> 00:09:51,232
You cooked for him, did you?

153
00:09:51,273 --> 00:09:54,472
Yes. I was his cook, his butler,
his chauffeur, his valet...

154
00:09:54,516 --> 00:09:56,835
Go on.
I took him his mail.

155
00:09:56,878 --> 00:09:58,557
That postcard was amongst it.

156
00:09:58,598 --> 00:10:00,917
He panicked and got on the pipeline
to you.

157
00:10:00,959 --> 00:10:03,718
He thought the directors were being
knocked off one by one.

158
00:10:03,761 --> 00:10:05,400
He thought he was the next.

159
00:10:05,443 --> 00:10:07,322
I have a hunch he was right.

160
00:10:08,364 --> 00:10:10,083
Did he have any idea who sent this?

161
00:10:10,126 --> 00:10:12,125
If he did, he didn't say so.

162
00:10:13,607 --> 00:10:15,726
Who er...benefits under his will?

163
00:10:16,770 --> 00:10:18,329
His son, mostly.

164
00:10:18,370 --> 00:10:20,289
I don't do too bad.

165
00:10:20,332 --> 00:10:22,331
I get this flat and �20,000.

166
00:10:23,494 --> 00:10:24,973
Congratulations.

167
00:10:25,015 --> 00:10:27,854
You think I don't deserve it, eh?
I didn't say that.

168
00:10:27,897 --> 00:10:30,016
I saved his life during the war in
1944.

169
00:10:30,058 --> 00:10:31,937
We served in the commandos.

170
00:10:31,979 --> 00:10:34,938
After the war, I came to work for
him. I've been here ever since.

171
00:10:34,981 --> 00:10:36,940
And now what?

172
00:10:36,983 --> 00:10:38,982
I'd like to travel.

173
00:10:39,023 --> 00:10:41,022
I fancy the South Sea Islands.

174
00:10:42,946 --> 00:10:44,905
Don't leave too soon.

175
00:10:52,071 --> 00:10:54,030
Five men dead in five months.

176
00:10:54,073 --> 00:10:56,192
All from heart attacks. It's
impossible.

177
00:10:56,234 --> 00:10:57,913
Thank you.

178
00:10:57,956 --> 00:11:01,235
Obviously, somebody somewhere
has such a hate for Combined Holdings

179
00:11:01,278 --> 00:11:03,277
that he's out to kill all of the
directors.

180
00:11:03,318 --> 00:11:05,237
It seems incredibly far-fetched.

181
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,999
What has Combined Holdings done -
as a company, I mean -

182
00:11:08,042 --> 00:11:10,081
that could generate such a hate
motive?

183
00:11:10,123 --> 00:11:11,722
We've had a couple of takeovers.

184
00:11:11,764 --> 00:11:13,403
They created a lot of hard feeling.

185
00:11:13,444 --> 00:11:15,163
Imperial Engineering was the worst.

186
00:11:15,206 --> 00:11:18,045
What happened?
Yes, the business of the wall collapsing.

187
00:11:18,088 --> 00:11:20,447
There was a man killed, another badly
injured.

188
00:11:20,489 --> 00:11:22,008
Combined Holdings was blamed?

189
00:11:22,051 --> 00:11:25,210
Elliott's father knew about the wall.
Should've had it demolished.

190
00:11:25,252 --> 00:11:28,451
And he didn't?
Not until it was too late.

191
00:11:28,495 --> 00:11:30,534
So a man was killed.

192
00:11:30,576 --> 00:11:34,135
Could a close relative - a son,
a brother, you know what I mean...

193
00:11:34,177 --> 00:11:36,896
Be mad enough to kill us all?
It's worth investigating.

194
00:11:36,940 --> 00:11:39,259
The other one - the man that was
injured.

195
00:11:39,302 --> 00:11:41,621
What's become of him?
He's still with us.

196
00:11:41,663 --> 00:11:45,102
Night watchman at Imperial
Engineering. The plant's closed down now.

197
00:11:45,144 --> 00:11:47,663
Well, if we find a motive, we'll find
the killer.

198
00:11:47,707 --> 00:11:50,026
So we might as well start with the
first death.

199
00:11:50,067 --> 00:11:52,186
Elliott Stratton's father.

200
00:11:53,549 --> 00:11:56,268
Elliott's father was Sagittarius.

201
00:11:56,312 --> 00:12:00,071
Blue. I relate colour to people all
the time.

202
00:12:00,115 --> 00:12:03,314
Anne here is green - verdant and lush.

203
00:12:03,356 --> 00:12:04,715
Aren't you, dear?

204
00:12:04,757 --> 00:12:07,956
Mother, excuse us. Mr Templar and I
have some business to discuss.

205
00:12:07,999 --> 00:12:10,278
Well, go, my dear child. Go.

206
00:12:10,321 --> 00:12:12,320
Anne and I can amuse each other.

207
00:12:12,362 --> 00:12:14,281
We won't be long.

208
00:12:20,807 --> 00:12:22,806
Let's look at my photographs.

209
00:12:24,489 --> 00:12:26,368
Have I shown you these before?

210
00:12:26,410 --> 00:12:28,169
Yes, but I'd love to see them again.

211
00:12:28,212 --> 00:12:30,211
Oh, you are kind!

212
00:12:31,533 --> 00:12:33,052
There's William.

213
00:12:33,095 --> 00:12:38,334
They gave him a wristwatch on the
20th anniversary of Stratton Enterprises.

214
00:12:39,379 --> 00:12:41,218
He was like a brother to the men.

215
00:12:41,260 --> 00:12:43,259
They all loved him.

216
00:12:44,382 --> 00:12:46,221
It's so lonely without him.

217
00:12:46,262 --> 00:12:48,701
She's been this way since my father died,

218
00:12:48,745 --> 00:12:50,584
so I won't apologise for her.

219
00:12:50,626 --> 00:12:54,585
I haven't finished going through his papers,
but after what you said the other day,

220
00:12:54,628 --> 00:12:56,107
I made a special search...

221
00:12:56,149 --> 00:12:58,148
and I found this.

222
00:13:02,353 --> 00:13:03,872
Mailed on 4th January.

223
00:13:03,914 --> 00:13:05,553
And he died on the 6th.

224
00:13:05,594 --> 00:13:09,513
Apart from John Mulliner,
did any of the others get these?

225
00:13:09,558 --> 00:13:10,757
I've no idea.

226
00:13:10,799 --> 00:13:12,958
Mind if I keep it?
Of course not.

227
00:13:12,999 --> 00:13:17,438
The wall that collapsed at the Imperial
Engineering plant, what do you know about it?

228
00:13:17,482 --> 00:13:19,441
It was my father's fault.

229
00:13:20,485 --> 00:13:22,644
He meant to have it knocked down but...

230
00:13:22,685 --> 00:13:24,484
he was called to a meeting in
Manchester.

231
00:13:24,527 --> 00:13:26,526
When he got back, it had collapsed.

232
00:13:28,169 --> 00:13:29,808
He never forgave himself.

233
00:13:54,105 --> 00:13:56,064
Perhaps he's making his rounds.

234
00:13:57,907 --> 00:13:59,866
You wait in the car. I'll take a look.

235
00:14:27,926 --> 00:14:29,765
Here...

236
00:17:18,432 --> 00:17:20,311
ANNE: Simon!

237
00:17:26,278 --> 00:17:28,717
What happened?
This man opened the gates.

238
00:17:28,759 --> 00:17:30,158
He had a gun.

239
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,239
I screamed, then he ran off into the night.

240
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,759
Tim Reilly, it was.

241
00:17:45,799 --> 00:17:47,918
The wall crushed the life right out of him.

242
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,279
And his wife, she emigrated to Canada.

243
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,279
Had a letter from her only last week.

244
00:17:54,321 --> 00:17:56,920
Married a Frenchman in Montreal.

245
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,679
Happy as can be.

246
00:17:59,721 --> 00:18:01,600
Well, that's that.

247
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,719
Tell me again what happened tonight.

248
00:18:03,759 --> 00:18:05,438
I can't, more than I've said.

249
00:18:05,481 --> 00:18:07,160
I was sitting right here.

250
00:18:07,202 --> 00:18:09,441
Probably I dozed off.

251
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,279
Suddenly, wham!

252
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,239
I was coshed.

253
00:18:13,281 --> 00:18:15,200
When I came to, you were bending
over me.

254
00:18:16,641 --> 00:18:20,560
Well, I hope it doesn't happen again
tonight, Mac. Come on.

255
00:18:24,321 --> 00:18:28,560
The board of directors decided, three against
two, that Templar's services weren't needed.

256
00:18:28,602 --> 00:18:32,521
Neal, I can hardly stop him acting
as a private individual.

257
00:18:35,082 --> 00:18:37,241
Your mail, Mr Lammerton. Leave it.

258
00:18:39,961 --> 00:18:43,920
Gilbert, while you're being grand
as Lord Mayor of London,

259
00:18:43,961 --> 00:18:46,360
it's my responsibility to run
Combined Holdings.

260
00:18:46,402 --> 00:18:50,521
Either I do it with complete
authority or I don't do it at all.

261
00:18:51,562 --> 00:18:54,241
Now, you'll have to excuse me.
I'm late for an appointment.

262
00:19:14,922 --> 00:19:17,401
My father found it in his mail this morning.

263
00:19:17,442 --> 00:19:19,161
What was Lammerton's reaction?

264
00:19:19,202 --> 00:19:20,481
I don't know.

265
00:19:20,524 --> 00:19:22,843
Well, didn't he see it?
I don't think so.

266
00:19:23,762 --> 00:19:25,721
This club - tell me about it.

267
00:19:25,764 --> 00:19:28,083
It's the Dockland Charity Settlement.

268
00:19:28,122 --> 00:19:30,281
Lammerton's been president of it for years.

269
00:19:30,322 --> 00:19:33,441
They're opening a new clubhouse
and he's giving a speech.

270
00:19:33,803 --> 00:19:35,762
I hope we're not too late.

271
00:20:01,164 --> 00:20:04,563
Ladies and gentlemen,
will you please be seated.

272
00:20:07,444 --> 00:20:10,403
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen,

273
00:20:10,444 --> 00:20:14,003
and welcome to the new
Dockyards Settlement Clubhouse.

274
00:20:15,045 --> 00:20:19,884
Today we are opening
our first permanent home.

275
00:20:19,925 --> 00:20:22,484
It is a proud day for all of us.

276
00:20:30,485 --> 00:20:34,724
It is, indeed, a day that some
of us thought would never come.

277
00:20:34,764 --> 00:20:37,363
But that it has come, and come so
very quickly,

278
00:20:37,405 --> 00:20:43,604
is due almost entirely
to the untiring work of one man.

279
00:20:49,085 --> 00:20:53,564
Our distinguished president,
Mr Neal Lammerton,

280
00:20:53,605 --> 00:21:01,324
has for over five years given unstintingly
of his time and effort in our work here.

281
00:21:02,965 --> 00:21:06,604
It is now my great pleasure
to ask him to declare our clubhouse...

282
00:21:06,647 --> 00:21:08,926
officially open.

283
00:21:08,965 --> 00:21:12,004
Mr Lammerton!

284
00:21:21,926 --> 00:21:23,925
Give him air, please! Stand back.

285
00:21:25,406 --> 00:21:28,005
He doesn't need air. He's dead.

286
00:21:28,047 --> 00:21:30,086
Dead?

287
00:21:49,808 --> 00:21:51,767
An X-ray ofLammerton's heart.

288
00:21:53,328 --> 00:21:55,487
Penetration of the aortic arch.

289
00:21:57,086 --> 00:21:58,445
Went right through him.

290
00:21:58,487 --> 00:22:00,366
Tremendous velocity.

291
00:22:00,408 --> 00:22:02,447
If you hadn't found this needle in
the chair,

292
00:22:02,487 --> 00:22:06,446
I'd never have looked for anything
unusual and, therefore, not have found anything.

293
00:22:06,486 --> 00:22:08,405
Hardly seems big enough to kill anybody.

294
00:22:08,447 --> 00:22:10,166
Like puncturing a balloon.

295
00:22:10,208 --> 00:22:14,047
And because it's so fine, no mark on
the skin. Why no blood?

296
00:22:14,088 --> 00:22:16,487
There's no bleeding much,
once the heart stops.

297
00:22:16,527 --> 00:22:18,526
So small, you can hardly see it.

298
00:22:20,007 --> 00:22:21,926
Yet it killed Lammerton,

299
00:22:21,969 --> 00:22:24,968
just as it killed five other
directors of Combined Holdings.

300
00:22:26,329 --> 00:22:28,208
What could fire a thing this size?

301
00:22:28,248 --> 00:22:31,287
In America, they've developed
a compressed-air rifle

302
00:22:31,329 --> 00:22:33,728
that fires missiles the size of needles.

303
00:22:33,767 --> 00:22:36,486
Templar, we've been complete fools.

304
00:22:36,527 --> 00:22:38,526
Yes. Yes, we have, indeed.

305
00:22:38,569 --> 00:22:41,768
In fact, we've been
almost criminally irresponsible.

306
00:22:41,809 --> 00:22:43,648
You warned us clearly enough.

307
00:22:43,687 --> 00:22:45,566
And I'm warning you again.

308
00:22:45,608 --> 00:22:47,647
Somebody is determined to
kill all of you,

309
00:22:47,688 --> 00:22:50,687
so for the next two weeks,
there must be no public appearances,

310
00:22:50,729 --> 00:22:54,368
no meetings, no conferences of any
kind, for any of you.

311
00:22:54,408 --> 00:22:56,407
That seems all right to me.

312
00:22:56,449 --> 00:22:58,208
How about you?

313
00:22:58,248 --> 00:23:00,207
Mm, agreed.

314
00:23:00,248 --> 00:23:03,047
Yes? Absolutely none.

315
00:23:04,449 --> 00:23:06,928
Unfortunately, I can't take Mr
Templar's advice.

316
00:23:08,928 --> 00:23:11,607
Tomorrow I'm to be sworn in
as Lord Mayor of London.

317
00:23:11,649 --> 00:23:13,768
The ceremony has certain traditions,

318
00:23:13,809 --> 00:23:16,848
one of them being that the Lord Mayor
is present in person.

319
00:23:18,329 --> 00:23:21,008
That...does make it awkward.

320
00:23:21,049 --> 00:23:22,928
Oh, more than that.

321
00:23:23,770 --> 00:23:25,289
This arrived this morning.

322
00:23:33,731 --> 00:23:35,370
The CID have been notified.

323
00:23:35,409 --> 00:23:38,648
You'll be guarded all along the
route. I sincerely hope so.

324
00:23:38,690 --> 00:23:39,769
Thank you.

325
00:23:39,810 --> 00:23:42,169
There's no danger
as long as you're in the coach.

326
00:23:42,210 --> 00:23:44,089
I'm not in the coach all the time.

327
00:23:45,130 --> 00:23:47,769
It may well be a very...short term of office.

328
00:23:51,011 --> 00:23:53,730
The first danger point is the
grandstand at Mansion House.

329
00:23:53,770 --> 00:23:55,529


330
00:25:24,053 --> 00:25:25,412
So far, nothing.

331
00:25:27,773 --> 00:25:30,452
I'll go with him to the coach. You wait.

332
00:25:52,894 --> 00:25:55,253
My Lord Mayor might at least manage a smile!

333
00:25:56,974 --> 00:25:59,213
Sorry, Geoffrey.

334
00:26:13,815 --> 00:26:16,614
We'll reach the law courts
20 minutes ahead of the coach.

335
00:26:17,694 --> 00:26:20,413
There'll be an hour's wait
while he's being sworn in.

336
00:26:20,454 --> 00:26:22,413
That's the danger point.

337
00:26:22,456 --> 00:26:23,855
The wait.

338
00:26:28,094 --> 00:26:29,973


339
00:26:59,895 --> 00:27:01,494
It's so eerie.

340
00:27:02,535 --> 00:27:06,494
The feeling that anybody in these thousands
of people could want to kill my father.

341
00:27:25,697 --> 00:27:27,856
We've got an hour's wait while he's
sworn in.

342
00:27:33,937 --> 00:27:35,656


343
00:27:37,057 --> 00:27:39,496
Come on, let's get to the garden.

344
00:27:44,456 --> 00:27:46,615
Excuse me.
Eh, what?

345
00:27:46,656 --> 00:27:48,735
I am sorry to bother you. Do you
have a match?

346
00:27:48,776 --> 00:27:50,775
Oh, yes, I have.

347
00:27:52,218 --> 00:27:53,777
Hey, hey, what's going on?

348
00:27:53,816 --> 00:27:56,095
I'm sorry. Somebody knocked me.

349
00:27:56,137 --> 00:27:57,896
Huh! It's been happening to me all day.

350
00:27:57,937 --> 00:27:59,736
Here you are.
Thank you.

351
00:27:59,777 --> 00:28:02,536
The Lord Mayor's parade. A load of
old rubbish.

352
00:28:03,737 --> 00:28:06,176
I reckon politicians
should be all put on a bonfire.

353
00:28:06,217 --> 00:28:08,616
Yes, I'm inclined to agree with you.
Thank you.

354
00:28:08,658 --> 00:28:10,537
Thank you.
Will you be all right?

355
00:28:10,577 --> 00:28:11,576
Yeah.

356
00:28:30,058 --> 00:28:31,537
False alarm.

357
00:28:31,579 --> 00:28:33,498
I'm afraid so.

358
00:28:35,098 --> 00:28:37,737
What's the matter?
I'm sorry, sir. A loose pin.

359
00:28:38,977 --> 00:28:40,936
May I?

360
00:28:46,418 --> 00:28:48,017
It wasn't a false alarm.

361
00:28:49,058 --> 00:28:50,617
You felt no impact?

362
00:28:50,658 --> 00:28:51,857
Nothing.

363
00:28:52,739 --> 00:28:54,698
So you have no idea when it happened?

364
00:28:54,738 --> 00:28:56,297
None.

365
00:28:56,339 --> 00:28:58,018
Thank God I took your advice.

366
00:28:58,058 --> 00:28:59,377
What advice?

367
00:28:59,419 --> 00:29:01,738
Mr Templar made me wear a
bulletproof vest.

368
00:29:08,300 --> 00:29:09,979
I thought this might happen,

369
00:29:10,019 --> 00:29:12,738
so I had cameramen posted on route
at the danger points.

370
00:29:33,259 --> 00:29:35,178
That's it.

371
00:29:36,379 --> 00:29:38,138
The telescope.

372
00:29:38,179 --> 00:29:40,578
The sailor in the Combined Holdings
float.

373
00:29:41,700 --> 00:29:43,299
He is our killer.

374
00:29:51,500 --> 00:29:52,979
Come on in.

375
00:29:53,019 --> 00:29:56,258
We've got him cold.
It's just a question of identification.

376
00:29:56,296 --> 00:29:58,215
Look at these.

377
00:29:58,256 --> 00:30:02,695
Here's the float, taken as it was approaching
the stand in front of the Guildhall.

378
00:30:02,733 --> 00:30:05,732
Now, here it is directly in front of
your father.

379
00:30:05,771 --> 00:30:09,090
Nothing suspicious about it until you
notice this.

380
00:30:09,130 --> 00:30:10,929
Here it is in close-up.

381
00:30:11,968 --> 00:30:13,687
You see his finger on the trigger.

382
00:30:14,846 --> 00:30:16,525
It's incredible.

383
00:30:16,564 --> 00:30:18,563
"Horrific" would be a better word.

384
00:30:20,443 --> 00:30:24,682
Tell me, Anne, who made the
arrangements for the Combined Holdings float?

385
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,359
Sir John Mulliner.

386
00:30:26,398 --> 00:30:27,957
Personally?

387
00:30:27,998 --> 00:30:30,437
Mm, because it's part of
the Lord Mayor's Parade.

388
00:30:30,476 --> 00:30:31,755
No, wait a minute.

389
00:30:31,795 --> 00:30:36,234
The actual physical arrangements -
the building, I mean - he left to Jim Cowdry.

390
00:30:37,113 --> 00:30:38,512
Cowdry?

391
00:30:38,551 --> 00:30:42,150
The loyal, faithful servant
who inherited �20,000?

392
00:30:43,188 --> 00:30:44,827
It's time to go visiting.

393
00:30:44,867 --> 00:30:46,586
Who are you going to see?

394
00:30:46,626 --> 00:30:48,545
Cowdry, who else?

395
00:30:48,585 --> 00:30:50,344
I'll be back in an hour.

396
00:30:51,384 --> 00:30:54,583
Oh, I left some of the pictures here.
Keep your eye on them, will you?

397
00:31:44,351 --> 00:31:45,590
Hello, Jim.

398
00:31:45,630 --> 00:31:47,269
Mind if I come in?

399
00:31:47,310 --> 00:31:49,309
Not at all.

400
00:31:51,307 --> 00:31:53,266
Going on a cruise?

401
00:31:53,305 --> 00:31:55,624
There's no need to stay any longer,
is there?

402
00:31:55,664 --> 00:31:57,863
That could depend on all sorts of things.

403
00:31:58,383 --> 00:32:01,302
So you had a hand in arranging
the Combined Holdings float

404
00:32:01,340 --> 00:32:02,979
for the Lord Mayor's Show?

405
00:32:03,020 --> 00:32:04,899
Yes, but not very much.

406
00:32:06,578 --> 00:32:08,417
Then cast a glance at these, will you?

407
00:32:11,135 --> 00:32:13,534
The float was made
by a building-display company

408
00:32:13,573 --> 00:32:16,092
from a display dreamed up
by our advertising agency.

409
00:32:16,133 --> 00:32:17,972
I suppose they hired the three...

410
00:32:19,010 --> 00:32:20,889
..three sailors.

411
00:32:20,929 --> 00:32:22,648
There were only supposed to be two.

412
00:32:22,687 --> 00:32:24,406
Are you sure?
I'm dead certain.

413
00:32:24,447 --> 00:32:27,326
Who handles the advertising
for Combined Holdings?

414
00:32:27,366 --> 00:32:28,805
Winfield Berman Ltd.

415
00:32:29,844 --> 00:32:31,843
Mind if I use your phone?
Help yourself.

416
00:32:52,350 --> 00:32:53,789
Oh, it's Miss Kirby!

417
00:32:53,829 --> 00:32:55,828
Hello. I was just passing.

418
00:32:55,867 --> 00:32:57,626
I thought I'd drop in for a cup of tea.

419
00:32:57,666 --> 00:32:59,145
Oh, do come in.

420
00:33:04,862 --> 00:33:06,861
Won't you make yourself comfortable?

421
00:33:06,901 --> 00:33:08,380
Mrs Stratton won't be long.

422
00:33:08,419 --> 00:33:10,018
Thank you.

423
00:35:25,536 --> 00:35:26,855
Hello, Anne.

424
00:35:26,896 --> 00:35:29,375
How...nice to see you.

425
00:35:31,092 --> 00:35:32,811
Hello, Elliott.

426
00:35:32,852 --> 00:35:34,811
Not that I mind...

427
00:35:34,851 --> 00:35:37,170
but what were you doing in my study
just now?

428
00:35:39,208 --> 00:35:41,487
I was looking for a cigarette.

429
00:35:54,159 --> 00:35:56,078
Oh. Thank you.

430
00:35:56,118 --> 00:35:58,117
What a surprise.

431
00:36:02,953 --> 00:36:05,992
Mm, I was just passing and thought
I'd drop in and see your mother.

432
00:36:06,033 --> 00:36:07,392
How thoughtful.

433
00:36:07,431 --> 00:36:09,470
Unfortunately, I've been terribly stupid.

434
00:36:09,510 --> 00:36:12,109
I've lost track of time. I must run.
Don't be silly.

435
00:36:12,148 --> 00:36:13,627
No, Elliott, I must, really.

436
00:36:13,668 --> 00:36:15,827
I've got to get to Harrods before
they close.

437
00:36:15,866 --> 00:36:17,865
But surely you know. What?

438
00:36:17,904 --> 00:36:19,903
Harrods closes at five.

439
00:36:20,942 --> 00:36:22,901
It's now ten past.

440
00:36:22,942 --> 00:36:25,661
So you've absolutely no reason to
rush off.

441
00:36:27,738 --> 00:36:30,577
Anne, darling!
Hello, Mrs Stratton.

442
00:36:30,617 --> 00:36:32,176
What a lovely surprise!

443
00:36:32,215 --> 00:36:33,774
I adore surprises!

444
00:36:33,815 --> 00:36:35,254
Don't you, Elliott?

445
00:36:35,295 --> 00:36:37,614
Provided they're not...too
surprising.

446
00:36:38,652 --> 00:36:42,531
There is something about these
postcards that is off key.

447
00:36:42,569 --> 00:36:44,568
For instance?

448
00:36:45,847 --> 00:36:48,006
I don't know. I just can't put my
finger on it.

449
00:36:49,885 --> 00:36:51,844
Go ahead. It's your phone.

450
00:36:51,884 --> 00:36:54,163
And I know what they're going to say.

451
00:36:58,160 --> 00:36:59,879
Hello?

452
00:36:59,919 --> 00:37:01,798
Yes, speaking.

453
00:37:01,839 --> 00:37:03,838
Yes, just a minute.

454
00:37:03,877 --> 00:37:08,516
Yep.

455
00:37:09,553 --> 00:37:11,512
And the other one?

456
00:37:13,032 --> 00:37:14,751
Are you sure about the number?

457
00:37:15,790 --> 00:37:17,509
Good. Thank you.

458
00:37:18,548 --> 00:37:20,707
They only hired two men for the float.

459
00:37:23,984 --> 00:37:25,943
I've got their names and addresses.

460
00:37:26,983 --> 00:37:28,702
It's the third man we want.

461
00:37:28,742 --> 00:37:31,341
If we talk to these two,
maybe they know something.

462
00:37:31,380 --> 00:37:33,699
The man with the telescope
maybe said something!

463
00:37:33,738 --> 00:37:35,657
I doubt it.

464
00:37:36,937 --> 00:37:38,616
I've got it. Huh?

465
00:37:38,656 --> 00:37:41,055
It's been staring me right in the
face all along.

466
00:37:41,094 --> 00:37:42,293
What is?

467
00:37:42,334 --> 00:37:44,333
Elliott Stratton's our boy.

468
00:37:45,691 --> 00:37:51,130
We used to go abroad two or three
times a year when William was alive.

469
00:37:52,567 --> 00:37:57,286
But travelling alone at my age
makes me feel terribly apprehensive.

470
00:37:58,323 --> 00:37:59,922
Do you know what I mean?

471
00:37:59,962 --> 00:38:01,241
Yes, I do.

472
00:38:01,281 --> 00:38:06,160
And simply moving from
Point A to Point B,

473
00:38:06,198 --> 00:38:10,637
the authorities put so many
obstacles in one's path.

474
00:38:11,595 --> 00:38:15,234
Getting out of Greece last year was...

475
00:38:15,272 --> 00:38:17,391
Well, it was like getting out of
prison.

476
00:38:17,432 --> 00:38:19,311
Wasn't it, Elliott?

477
00:38:19,350 --> 00:38:20,549
Yes.

478
00:38:22,749 --> 00:38:24,228
Well, I really must go.

479
00:38:24,268 --> 00:38:27,147
I've got so many things to do.
I want to talk to you.

480
00:38:27,186 --> 00:38:28,825
What about?

481
00:38:30,543 --> 00:38:33,182
Mother, would you answer that?
Don't be silly, dear.

482
00:38:33,222 --> 00:38:36,061
Nobody ever telephones me.

483
00:38:38,060 --> 00:38:39,579
I won't be a moment.

484
00:39:07,881 --> 00:39:09,360
Where's Anne?

485
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,799
She just ran out -
without even so much as goodbye!

486
00:40:52,500 --> 00:40:54,459
They were both here for tea.

487
00:40:54,502 --> 00:40:59,101
And Anne suddenly dashed away
and Elliott followed her.

488
00:40:59,147 --> 00:41:01,146
Thank you, Mrs Stratton.

489
00:42:10,621 --> 00:42:12,220
Surprised?

490
00:42:12,263 --> 00:42:15,822
Stands to reason I'd get here first.
You came by bus. I came by car.

491
00:42:16,868 --> 00:42:18,467
Yes, but...

492
00:42:18,510 --> 00:42:21,469
Er...how did you get in?

493
00:42:21,512 --> 00:42:23,391
My dear Anne,

494
00:42:23,434 --> 00:42:26,673
the lock in that lift is ridiculous
for a man with my...engineering talents.

495
00:42:27,038 --> 00:42:29,437
Don't...touch it.

496
00:42:32,804 --> 00:42:36,403
Talents which I...gather
you are now fully aware of.

497
00:42:39,011 --> 00:42:40,770
Just as a matter of interest,

498
00:42:41,813 --> 00:42:43,372
what gave me away?

499
00:42:43,415 --> 00:42:45,214
Your wristwatch.

500
00:42:45,257 --> 00:42:47,856
How? The sailor on the float.

501
00:42:49,862 --> 00:42:51,301
My, my!

502
00:42:52,345 --> 00:42:55,344
The little things one forgets.

503
00:42:55,387 --> 00:42:57,306
Don't hurt me, Elliott.

504
00:42:57,350 --> 00:42:59,029
I'll help you.

505
00:42:59,072 --> 00:43:00,791
I know you will.

506
00:43:00,833 --> 00:43:02,632
By keeping quiet.

507
00:43:02,676 --> 00:43:04,835
Yes. Yes...permanently.

508
00:43:26,380 --> 00:43:29,819
Anne, you're being silly.
The door won't keep me out.

509
00:44:36,613 --> 00:44:38,292
Elliott, they'll catch you.

510
00:44:38,335 --> 00:44:40,334
Oh, I don't think so.

511
00:44:41,578 --> 00:44:44,457
Besides, there's nothing left for me now.

512
00:44:45,182 --> 00:44:47,141
Combined Holdings have seen to that.

513
00:44:47,184 --> 00:44:49,223
And there's not much left for you.

514
00:46:30,211 --> 00:46:31,730
Simon, it was horrible.

515
00:46:31,773 --> 00:46:33,052
It's all right.

516
00:46:34,736 --> 00:46:37,655
Combined Holdings did take over
Stratton Enterprises

517
00:46:37,698 --> 00:46:41,217
and I can see how Elliott figured we
were cheating him out of his inheritance.

518
00:46:41,263 --> 00:46:42,782
And were you?

519
00:46:42,824 --> 00:46:44,463
Stratton was almost bankrupt.

520
00:46:44,505 --> 00:46:46,304
That's what brought on his illness.

521
00:46:46,348 --> 00:46:51,187
Yes, Elliott got it backwards.
I think he honestly believed Combined Holdings killed his father.

522
00:46:51,232 --> 00:46:53,671
Well, there you have the motive.

523
00:46:55,357 --> 00:46:58,436
What I don't understand is
how you got onto Elliott.

524
00:46:58,481 --> 00:46:59,880
The postcards.

525
00:46:59,922 --> 00:47:01,801
Elliott didn't want to be odd man out.

526
00:47:01,844 --> 00:47:04,603
He wanted it to look
like his father had been murdered, too,

527
00:47:04,646 --> 00:47:07,565
so he...made up a postcard.

528
00:47:08,211 --> 00:47:11,010
This one.
ANNE: I still don't understand.

529
00:47:13,416 --> 00:47:15,375
Look at the postmark.

530
00:47:16,339 --> 00:47:17,498
4th January.

531
00:47:17,540 --> 00:47:19,339
Now look at the stamp.

532
00:47:20,143 --> 00:47:21,902
KIRBY: What about it?

533
00:47:21,945 --> 00:47:24,624
SIMON: That stamp didn't exist last
January.

534
00:47:25,869 --> 00:47:27,828
It wasn't issued until July,

535
00:47:27,870 --> 00:47:31,469
six months after the postcard
was allegedly mailed.

536
00:47:31,514 --> 00:47:34,833
So therefore, the postmark's a forgery...

537
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,479
..and Elliott Stratton
had to be the killer.

538
00:47:39,529 --> 00:47:44,079
