00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,200
I'm Kelvin Halliday, Third Secretary.

3
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,000
Sergeant Desai, Traffic Police.

4
00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:16,200
I'm afraid it's your wife, Mr Halliday.

5
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,900
The very worst news, my good sir.

6
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,900
Her car left the road 
at the Chamber Valley Bridge

7
00:01:22,935 --> 00:01:25,100
and she plunged into the gorge.

8
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,000
Oh, Clare.

9
00:01:29,100 --> 00:01:31,600
It's not the first time there, 
for such a tragedy.

10
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,500
Was Gwenda with her-- our child?

11
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,500
Fortunately, no.

12
00:01:37,535 --> 00:01:38,800
Oh, thank God.

13

<i>* Am I Blue? *</i>

14
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,600

<i>* Ain't these tears in my eyes*</i>

16

19
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,000
From Charles Vanstone, 
British India Holdings, Delhi,

20
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,500
to Miss Gwenda Halliday, 
passenger, SS Dominion,

21
00:02:29,300 --> 00:02:31,600
bound Southampton, England.

22
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:40,600
Darling Gwennie

23
00:02:41,100 --> 00:02:44,600
regret too busy take 
yesterday's flight as planned.

24
00:02:46,100 --> 00:02:48,700
Pressure of work, so still In India.

25
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,300
Should have sailed with you, 
my precious, after all.

26
00:02:55,300 --> 00:02:58,000
Therefore unable meet you 
Southampton.

27
00:03:00,100 --> 00:03:04,300
Mr Hugh Hornbeam, London office,
instructed welcome

28
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,000
and make final wedding preparations.

29
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,300
- So sorry.
- Gather Hornbeam jolly good chap.

30
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:14,765
Desperately sorry not to

31
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,500
share your first visit to dear old England.

32
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,800
Your very own, Charles.

33
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,300
Have told Hornbeam,

34
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,700
just look for prettiest girl 
in whole wide world.

35
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,500
Ah, welcome to England, Miss Halliday.

36
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,800
Darling! Darling!

37
00:03:43,835 --> 00:03:45,017
So sorry.

38
00:03:45,052 --> 00:03:46,200
I'm so sorry.

39
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,800
Oh, golly. Are you she?

40
00:03:51,100 --> 00:03:53,100
- Are you him?
- Yes.

41
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,300
Welcome to England, Miss Halliday.

42
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,500
You don't believe in travelling light?

43
00:04:06,700 --> 00:04:09,000
My life is in my luggage. 
I'm not here on holiday.

44
00:04:09,100 --> 00:04:09,800
No.

45
00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:13,700
And um...congratulations 
on your forthcoming marriage.

46
00:04:14,100 --> 00:04:15,000
Thank you.

47
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:23,900
Where's best for a house?

48
00:04:24,700 --> 00:04:26,400
Charles will have a pied-a-terre 
in London,

49
00:04:26,435 --> 00:04:28,100
but for our family home,

50
00:04:28,500 --> 00:04:32,500
I want the ocean, such sunshine 
as there may be, and views.

51
00:04:33,900 --> 00:04:35,800
I want England, Mr Hornbeam.

52
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,400
At long, long last.

53
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,200
If we turn right at the sea,

54
00:04:46,700 --> 00:04:48,200
there is Devon.

55
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,500
You won't find anything there. 
It's the back of beyond.

56
00:05:01,700 --> 00:05:03,065
Torquay's a better bet.

57
00:05:03,100 --> 00:05:05,300
No, I think we should look in Dillmouth.

58
00:05:05,335 --> 00:05:06,765
I'm sure it's charming

59
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,000
but Torquay has a decent hotel 
and reputable estate agents.

60
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,300
- We'll get a list of suitable properties...
- No.

61
00:05:13,100 --> 00:05:14,300
That way.

62
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:15,850
But...

63
00:05:15,885 --> 00:05:16,900
Instinct.

64
00:05:17,100 --> 00:05:19,000
I always follow my instinct.

65
00:05:20,100 --> 00:05:20,900
Drive on.

66
00:05:34,900 --> 00:05:35,700
Thank you.

67
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:39,600
Shouldn't there be a pier?

68
00:05:40,300 --> 00:05:41,600
I expect the Germans bombed it.

69
00:05:42,500 --> 00:05:43,300
Why?

70
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,600
To stop people having fun.

71
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,800
Is England anything like you expected?

72
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,600
I'm not sure what I expected.

73
00:05:58,100 --> 00:06:00,000
How long have you worked 
for Charles's company?

74
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:01,865
Seven years now.

75
00:06:01,900 --> 00:06:04,400
I started at Vanstone International 
after the war.

76
00:06:12,500 --> 00:06:14,000
Work that for me, will you?

77
00:06:33,300 --> 00:06:34,900
Oh, yes!

78
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,200
The view.

79
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,300
The view!

80
00:06:44,100 --> 00:06:45,600
This will be our bedroom.

81
00:06:46,100 --> 00:06:48,000
Next door would make 
a wonderful dressing room.

82
00:06:48,035 --> 00:06:49,000
Perhaps we could knock through.

83
00:06:49,300 --> 00:06:50,500
What's this way?

84
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,000
What's up here?

85
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:16,000
I thought so. Simply perfect 
for a nursery-- eventually.

86
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,565
Grim colour, though.

87
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,165
More cheerful wallpaper is what it needs.

88
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,900
Something pretty 
like poppies and cornflowers.

89
00:07:22,935 --> 00:07:25,800
Where did I see that? In a magazine?

90
00:07:31,100 --> 00:07:32,500
It feels like home already.

91
00:07:34,100 --> 00:07:35,400
This is my house.

92
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:37,000
Fix it.

93
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,700
Yes. Righty-ho.

94
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,200
The Ellsworthys only moved out 
last month.

95
00:07:42,500 --> 00:07:44,500
Mr Fane thought it'd be hard to shift.

96
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,800
Oh. It's Mr Fane's lucky day, then, 
isn't it, George?

97
00:07:50,700 --> 00:07:51,700
What's the matter?

98
00:07:53,300 --> 00:07:55,200
Tell me, did someone die in this house?

99
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,300
Um...no.

100
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,000
Er...Yes... I mean...um...

101
00:08:00,035 --> 00:08:00,700
Did they?

102
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,500
I mean, I expect they must have, miss. 
It's ever so old.

103
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:22,700
Mr Hornbeam!

104
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,600
- Next door!
- I'm coming through!

105
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,800
That's the second time I've done that.

106
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,800
It weren't in the original estimate, sir.

107
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,500
Help me decide, will you?

108
00:08:36,300 --> 00:08:37,300
Well, I don't know.

109
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,300
Oh, Mr Simms,

110
00:08:39,500 --> 00:08:42,000
would it be possible to put a door 
between these rooms

111
00:08:42,035 --> 00:08:42,800
in that wall?

112
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:44,700
Don't see why not.

113
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,900
Now, there's this for the hall.

114
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,300
- What do you think?
- Gosh...

115
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,900
But is it too fussy? I hate fussy.

116
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,500
- Or there's this one.
- Looks... fine to me.

117
00:09:01,300 --> 00:09:02,400
Really?

118
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,200
Or are you just saying that?

119
00:09:04,700 --> 00:09:06,300
Well, I'm blowed.

120
00:09:07,300 --> 00:09:09,300
There's a door here already.

121
00:09:09,700 --> 00:09:11,300
It's been boarded over.

122
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,200
You must be psychic.

123
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,800
It's silly, your staying in a hotel tonight, 
isn't it?

124
00:09:23,700 --> 00:09:25,800
You could get yourself a camp bed 
and some blankets.

125
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,400
I'm quite happy in the hotel.

126
00:09:28,900 --> 00:09:30,300
But if you're feeling nervous...

127
00:09:30,500 --> 00:09:33,000
No. It would just be more convenient, 
that's all.

128
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,900
Do you need to telephone a wife 
or...someone like that?

129
00:09:36,935 --> 00:09:38,900
Oh, no-one like that.

130
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:30,800
It's only the breeze!

131
00:11:31,100 --> 00:11:32,800
The... The window was open.

132
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,500
Then please close it.

133
00:11:43,300 --> 00:11:44,300
Can't you sleep?

134
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,000
I thought I'd telephone Charles.

135
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,000
I could make you some cocoa.

136
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,700
No. Charles.

137
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,900
Well...not too sweet.

138
00:12:17,300 --> 00:12:19,900
I got that nursery cupboard open for you.

139
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,065
You can see the old wallpaper.

140
00:12:22,100 --> 00:12:25,300
Much more cheerful and pretty, 
it must have been, that room.

141
00:12:25,900 --> 00:12:28,200
Poppies and cornflowers.

142
00:12:31,100 --> 00:12:34,400
Popples and cornflowers. 
Popples and cornflowers.

143
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:11,700
Miss Halliday!

144
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,400
Are you all right, Miss Halliday?

145
00:13:24,300 --> 00:13:25,900
Thank you, Mr Hornbeam.

146
00:13:29,300 --> 00:13:32,900
Gwennie! No, I'm sure 
you didn't imagine it, darling.

147
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,600
I can't. Not just like that.

148
00:13:36,100 --> 00:13:38,800
I still don't know exactly when 
I'll be able to join you.

149
00:13:39,500 --> 00:13:42,900
I need you too, but...
Put Hornbeam on, will you?

150
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,400
Yes, sir, but it's hardly a police matter.

151
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,600
What sort of investigator?

152
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,000
Just someone who'll take her seriously, 
or pretend to,

153
00:13:57,035 --> 00:13:59,500
and for God's sake, try and cheer her up!

154
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:05,900
Let's go to the theatre.

155
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,100
Rookery Nook's on 
and I love a rollicking farce,

156
00:14:09,135 --> 00:14:10,200
I don't know about you.

157
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:15,000
Ah, yes, Operator. 
St Mary Mead 235, please.

158
00:14:22,500 --> 00:14:24,800
What exactly does she do?

159
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,100
Solves things.

160
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,865
The Duchess of Malfi?

161
00:14:34,900 --> 00:14:36,500
It doesn't sound like a farce.

162
00:14:37,100 --> 00:14:38,500
I must have got the wrong week.

163
00:14:39,500 --> 00:14:40,700
Oh, well, we're here now.

164
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,600
Oh, Hugh.

165
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,400
Oh! Are you well?

166
00:14:56,900 --> 00:14:57,700
Is that her?

167
00:14:57,735 --> 00:14:58,900
Yes.

168
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,600
How very nice to meet you, Miss Halliday.

169
00:15:02,900 --> 00:15:03,700
Hello.

170
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,100
l'm Jane Marple.

171
00:15:07,500 --> 00:15:10,200
Pull. And pull strongly.

172
00:15:10,500 --> 00:15:14,900
For your able strength 
must pull down heaven upon me.

173
00:15:15,100 --> 00:15:16,100
But stay.

174
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,000
Heaven's gates are not 
so highly arched as prince's palaces.

175
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,300
They that enter 
there must go upon their knees.

176
00:15:27,300 --> 00:15:29,800
Come, vloient death.

177
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,100
Serve for mandragora to make me sleep.

178
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,800
Go tell my brothers when I am laid out

179
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,200
they then may feed in quiet.

180
00:15:52,100 --> 00:15:53,000
Helen!

181
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,400
I saw her again, being strangled.

182
00:15:58,600 --> 00:15:59,400
Who?

183
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,000
- Helen.
- Who's Helen?

184
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,100
Miss Halliday, who's Helen?

185
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,600
Strangling is a very quiet death.

186
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,000
She was no older than 30, I'd say.

187
00:16:20,900 --> 00:16:22,300
What do you remember?

188
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:24,300
Helen.

189
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,565
Whoever she is or was.

190
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,900
I couldn't see who was strangling her.

191
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,500
I wonder...what her furniture was like.

192
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:35,600
Furniture?

193
00:16:37,900 --> 00:16:39,300
Here in the hall.

194
00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:44,700
There was a coat stand... and a side table.

195
00:16:44,735 --> 00:16:47,300
A coat stand? Was there a coat?

196
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,200
Or a hat?

197
00:16:50,100 --> 00:16:52,600
A woman's hat. Pre-war style.

198
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,800
May I know your age, Miss Halliday?

199
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,500
Twenty-one.

200
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,900
I think you saw a memory 
from when you were a child

201
00:17:03,935 --> 00:17:06,400
who looked through banisters, 
not over them,

202
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,900
and whose nursery wallpaper 
was poppies and cornflowers.

203
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,900
A child who saw a murder in this very house.

204
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,465
I've never been in this house before.

205
00:17:20,500 --> 00:17:22,700
I've never set foot in England before now.

206
00:17:23,700 --> 00:17:24,800
There is that.

207
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,200
Are you quite sure?

208
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:28,865
Of course I'm sure.

209
00:17:28,900 --> 00:17:30,300
Breakfast's getting cold.

210
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,500
Your scrambled eggs are like rubber.

211
00:17:32,535 --> 00:17:34,700
I have advertised for someone.

212
00:17:35,300 --> 00:17:36,400
I didn't really train to be a...

213
00:17:36,435 --> 00:17:37,865
Do go on, Miss Halliday.

214
00:17:37,900 --> 00:17:40,600
This is the first time 
I have been outside of India.

215
00:17:41,300 --> 00:17:43,500
My father, Kelvin, was a diplomat there.

216
00:17:43,900 --> 00:17:46,150
My mother died in an accident 
when I was a baby

217
00:17:46,185 --> 00:17:48,400
and Daddy two years later 
of a heart attack.

218
00:17:48,700 --> 00:17:50,265
I do just about remember him

219
00:17:50,300 --> 00:17:52,100
but it was his sister who brought me up.

220
00:17:52,135 --> 00:17:54,400
If it was a... a haunting,

221
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,700
we could find out who owned this house, 
from the solicitors.

222
00:18:00,500 --> 00:18:01,700
Well, it's a start.

223
00:18:02,100 --> 00:18:04,300
Will you come and see Mr Fane with us, 
Miss Marple?

224
00:18:04,700 --> 00:18:06,500
You could give me a lift into the town.

225
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,700
But what I really need is some wool.

226
00:18:20,900 --> 00:18:23,900
Dillmouth's changed so much 
since I was last here.

227
00:18:23,935 --> 00:18:25,100
When was that?

228
00:18:25,300 --> 00:18:27,700
Oh, it must be 18 years ago.

229
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,300
Do you want the extra two ounces, 
be on the safe side?

230
00:18:30,335 --> 00:18:31,200
Yes, please.

231
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,300
I stayed with friends 
on the Leahampton Road.

232
00:18:34,335 --> 00:18:36,400
Hillside, their house was called.

233
00:18:36,435 --> 00:18:37,700
Oh, I know Hillside.

234
00:18:37,900 --> 00:18:39,700
Very well-run household.

235
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,300
Such obliging girls in service, they had.

236
00:18:43,300 --> 00:18:46,300
Now...what were their names?

237
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:49,600
Mr Fane's out.

238
00:18:49,900 --> 00:18:51,200
When will he be back?

239
00:18:58,300 --> 00:19:01,700
All we want is a glance at the Hillside file.

240
00:19:01,900 --> 00:19:03,300
I'm meant to be tidying up.

241
00:19:03,335 --> 00:19:04,700
Oh, don't let us stop you.

242
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,300
I don't like being watched.

243
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,100
We'll close our eyes.

244
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,000
Look, we don't have time 
to wait for Mr Fane.

245
00:19:13,035 --> 00:19:15,600
I think it was in that filing cabinet there.

246
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,065
Where should I look?

247
00:19:19,100 --> 00:19:21,000
Let's try H for Hillside, shall we?

248
00:19:24,300 --> 00:19:26,300
I really don't think it's a good idea, sir.

249
00:19:27,100 --> 00:19:28,700
Mr Fane will be back soon.

250
00:19:29,100 --> 00:19:31,200
Oh, it won't take a moment, George.

251
00:19:31,300 --> 00:19:35,500
E...F...G...H. Ah, here we are.

252
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,300
It changed hands in 1934
and was bought by...

253
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:43,800
What?

254
00:19:46,100 --> 00:19:48,000
It was bought by Kelvin Halliday.

255
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,900
Is that your idea of a joke, 
Mr Hornbeam?

256
00:19:51,935 --> 00:19:52,800
No.

257
00:19:57,500 --> 00:20:00,100
- Mr Fane.
- Mr Hornbeam.

258
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,100
I had to run out. Mother's library books.

259
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:06,200
Problem?

260
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,500
No, Mr Fane. Thank you.

261
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,000
We were just coming to meet you.

262
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,700
This is um...Mrs Pagett.

263
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:32,200
Cook-housekeeper at Hillside in 1934.

264
00:20:32,500 --> 00:20:36,500
Darling Gwynnie! After all these years!

265
00:20:36,700 --> 00:20:38,800
You won't remember me, of course.

266
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,200
You were such a lovely little girl.

267
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,565
When Lily's about her other duties,

268
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,300
I'd expect you to help with my daughter.

269
00:20:49,700 --> 00:20:51,465
Poor little motherless mite.

270
00:20:51,500 --> 00:20:54,700
At least you're bringing her up 
in good old England, sir.

271
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,500
And you're still young.

272
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,900
Very handsome man, your father.

273
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,400
And it didn't take him long 
to find a young lady.

274
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,000
Is this a refrigerator?

275
00:21:12,700 --> 00:21:13,800
Yes.

276
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,400
So could you start tomorrow?

277
00:21:16,435 --> 00:21:17,900
All right, then.

278
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,600
I'll look after you.

279
00:21:21,100 --> 00:21:22,100
What young lady?

280
00:21:23,300 --> 00:21:25,400
I say "lady"...

281
00:21:25,500 --> 00:21:27,900
Helen were her name.

282
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:29,965
Helen?

283
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,700
Helen Marsden. 
Him a gent, her a theatrical.

284
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,100
See, we used to have a show
on the pier of a summer.

285
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,100
Me and Lily, the housemaid, 
we used to love It.

286
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,900
*What's that sound I hear again? *

287
00:21:45,935 --> 00:21:49,200
* There's laughter on the pier again*

288
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,600
* It must be that time of year again*

289
00:21:52,635 --> 00:21:55,367
* When the Funnybones say hello*

290
00:21:55,402 --> 00:21:58,100
Every year, they used to come.

291
00:21:58,300 --> 00:22:00,765
They were all so talented.

292
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:06,700
*..a show to entertain you-ou-ou*

293
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,800
- There were Jackie Afflick.
- Listen, listen...

294
00:22:08,835 --> 00:22:10,100
He were a laugh.

295
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,800
And he didn't just play the piano.

296
00:22:12,900 --> 00:22:15,400
He said,"That's no dog, 
that's a scrubbing brush."

297
00:22:15,435 --> 00:22:17,200
He were a scream.

298
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,700
- Lionel Luff.
- Are you ready?

299
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,400
You could never see how he done it.

300
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,400
Little Evle Ballantyne.

301
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,900
Don't know how she found the energy.

302
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,000
Quite a novelty.

303
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:43,665
*You will answer...*

304
00:22:43,700 --> 00:22:46,500
The Erskines were in charge of the Funnybones.

305
00:22:46,900 --> 00:22:49,200
Janet could have done opera with her voice.

306
00:22:49,500 --> 00:22:53,400
And Dickie could have been 
in films with his looks.

307
00:22:53,435 --> 00:22:54,817
*...offer my love to you... *

308
00:22:54,852 --> 00:22:56,426
He were Lily's favourite.

309
00:22:56,461 --> 00:22:57,965
*...I will be blue *

310
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,100
Sounds like a jolly good night out, 
Mrs Pagett...

311
00:23:00,135 --> 00:23:01,765
And Helen Marsden.

312
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:09,800
* If I do wrong
when I take you and kiss you *

313
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:21,000
* Then doing wrong's the right thing for me *

314
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,800
She and your father had got engaged.

315
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,100
I was never told any of this 
when I was growing up.

316
00:23:34,135 --> 00:23:35,965
I don't understand, Mrs Pagett.

317
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,700
Did the three of us go back to India?

318
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,400
Just you.

319
00:23:41,900 --> 00:23:45,700
I think it's best you hear it from family. 
It's not far.

320
00:23:58,700 --> 00:24:01,000
RMPA? He's a trick cyclist.

321
00:24:01,035 --> 00:24:02,100
A what?

322
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:03,500
A psychiatrist.

323
00:24:24,700 --> 00:24:25,700
Yes?

324
00:24:27,300 --> 00:24:29,300
I believe you're my Uncle James.

325
00:24:32,500 --> 00:24:34,200
You're so like your mother.

326
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,200
So like my dear Clare.

327
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,200
Do you think Miss Halliday
somehow was drawn

328
00:24:40,235 --> 00:24:42,000
to Hillside by her subconscious?

329
00:24:42,035 --> 00:24:43,000
Possibly.

330
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,600
Unless it was what we psychiatrists 
call a coincidence.

331
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,600
I'm so thrilled to see you again.

332
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,100
Why was I sent back to India alone?

333
00:24:57,300 --> 00:25:00,100
Oh, Gwenda, where to start...

334
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,400
Your mother and I were very close.

335
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:05,565
Your grandparents died young

336
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,565
and I more or less brought Clare up.

337
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,600
When she came of age, 
she took off to India to be governess,

338
00:25:12,100 --> 00:25:14,100
and met your father, married and had you.

339
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,600
And then he wrote...
informing me of her death.

340
00:25:22,300 --> 00:25:25,200
Her car had gone off the bridge 
at the Chamber Valley Gorge.

341
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,900
The following year, he wrote again, 
from Dillmouth.

342
00:25:29,300 --> 00:25:32,565
He'd moved here with you 
and got engaged.

343
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,900
Rather too soon after Clare's death, 
to my mind

344
00:25:34,935 --> 00:25:36,300
and to an entertainer.

345
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,500
But I accepted invitation to come down 
and meet them both.

346
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,400
This is James Kennedy.

347
00:25:43,100 --> 00:25:44,500
James.

348
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:45,500
Helen.

349
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,200
- Kelvin speaks so lovingly of your sister.
- Dear Clare.

350
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,900
If I can make him as happy as she did.

351
00:25:53,500 --> 00:25:55,200
We got on like a house on fire.

352
00:25:56,100 --> 00:25:58,600
I'd been looking for somewhere to set up 
in general practice

353
00:25:58,635 --> 00:26:01,317
Dillmouth fitted the bill, 
so I moved here.

354
00:26:01,352 --> 00:26:04,000
- You weren't always a psychiatrist?
- No.

355
00:26:04,900 --> 00:26:08,200
I eventually realised 
it was the mind that fascinated me,

356
00:26:08,235 --> 00:26:09,800
and not the body, and since the war...

357
00:26:09,835 --> 00:26:12,300
Mm. The mental wounds.

358
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,000
What some of our chaps went through.

359
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,100
After a few weeks, we became firm friends.

360
00:26:19,100 --> 00:26:21,500
- Cheers.
- Kelvin asked me to be his best man.

361
00:26:21,535 --> 00:26:22,800
Here she comes.

362
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,500
They'd be married in the morning. 
There was a little party.

363
00:26:26,300 --> 00:26:28,100
But there would never be a wedding.

364
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:29,465
Don't be late tomorrow

365
00:26:29,500 --> 00:26:31,400
or you'll never make an honest man of me.

366
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,165
Kelvin went home to Hillside

367
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,300
and I came here and fell asleep with a book.

368
00:26:36,100 --> 00:26:40,100
Then, around dawn, 
Kelvin telephoned in a terrible state.

369
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:42,400
He'd got up in the middle of the night

370
00:26:43,300 --> 00:26:46,900
and noticed Helen's suitcase 
and her clothes had vanished.

371
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,400
She wasn't at the digs 
where they were all staying.

372
00:26:49,435 --> 00:26:50,800
Nobody knew where she'd got to.

373
00:26:52,500 --> 00:26:54,900
We waited and waited outside the town hall.

374
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:57,500
But she never came.

375
00:27:01,900 --> 00:27:03,600
Kelvin was devastated.

376
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,600
He took to walking for hours every day 
up on the cliffs,

377
00:27:07,900 --> 00:27:10,100
trying to find some sort of answer 
for himself.

378
00:27:11,900 --> 00:27:14,000
And then she sent him a postcard 
from London.

379
00:27:14,900 --> 00:27:16,565
No address, no explanation.

380
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,600
It just said she was happy 
and not to look for her.

381
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,700
The police found it at Hillside after...

382
00:27:26,700 --> 00:27:28,100
.. after they'd discovered his body

383
00:27:28,135 --> 00:27:29,600
at the foot of the cliffs.

384
00:27:31,900 --> 00:27:33,000
I'm so sorry, Gwenda.

385
00:27:35,300 --> 00:27:37,100
You were sent back to your aunt in India.

386
00:27:38,300 --> 00:27:39,965
And we agreed 
you need never be burdened

387
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,500
with the true circumstances 
of your father's death.

388
00:27:44,900 --> 00:27:46,000
Do you um...

389
00:27:46,500 --> 00:27:51,000
have a photograph of Helen, 
by any chance?

390
00:27:51,035 --> 00:27:52,700
Yes. Yes.

391
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,600
- It's her.
- I don't understand.

392
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:20,800
I saw her strangled.

393
00:28:23,300 --> 00:28:24,700
It's in here somewhere.

394
00:28:25,100 --> 00:28:27,800
I remember 
that dreadful day it came, miss.

395
00:28:28,100 --> 00:28:30,565
Here. I should have torn it up,

396
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,100
just like she tore his poor heart in two.

397
00:28:34,100 --> 00:28:36,000
Didn't deserve that, the dear man.

398
00:28:36,900 --> 00:28:38,800
"I'm sorry, Kelvin, darling.

399
00:28:39,700 --> 00:28:41,500
Please don't ever try to find me.

400
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,300
I'm happy now. Helen. "

401
00:29:04,500 --> 00:29:06,600
- Here, let me.
- No!

402
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:11,900
I'm sorry, Hugh.

403
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,700
1896-1934

404
00:29:43,700 --> 00:29:45,600
- It's me.
- Come in.

405
00:29:48,300 --> 00:29:49,600
How's Mr Hornbeam?

406
00:29:50,300 --> 00:29:51,500
Asleep.

407
00:29:59,300 --> 00:30:01,100
It's all I have of my mother's.

408
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,200
Lovely.

409
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,000
I promised myself I wouldn't wear it 
until my wedding day.

410
00:30:08,500 --> 00:30:09,900
Must be tempting.

411
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,300
I shouldn't really care about her, 
should I?

412
00:30:16,100 --> 00:30:17,500
But she was murdered.

413
00:30:18,100 --> 00:30:20,800
I don't care about the postcard. 
Postcards can be forged.

414
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,300
They certainly can be.

415
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:26,600
But...

416
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,300
.. it was a long time ago.

417
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,300
Do you really want to rake up the past?

418
00:30:35,300 --> 00:30:37,500
Who knows what else we may find?

419
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,000
- Good morning.
- Good morning.

420
00:31:03,500 --> 00:31:06,900
Did the seagulls wake you up, too? 
Don't they squabble!

421
00:31:07,500 --> 00:31:09,265
I slept like a lamb.

422
00:31:09,300 --> 00:31:12,150
Oh, and Charles telephoned. 
He'll be arriving on the 17th,

423
00:31:12,185 --> 00:31:15,000
so get on with the wedding arrangements 
as we discussed.

424
00:31:15,300 --> 00:31:17,100
What did he make of your discovery?

425
00:31:17,700 --> 00:31:19,000
He has enough on his plate.

426
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,700
The weather is beautiful.

427
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:23,500
I'll walk. I won't take the car.

428
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,800
- Where are you going?
- To my uncle's.

429
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,700
God's in his heaven and all's right 
with the world.

430
00:31:34,100 --> 00:31:35,200
I don't think.

431
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,850
Did she say anything
about the possibility her father...

432
00:31:39,885 --> 00:31:43,500
Her father committed suicide because 
he'd murdered Helen?

433
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,000
Not yet.

434
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:50,700
Tea?

435
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,700
Are you sure you don't prefer 
a glass of fresh cold milk

436
00:31:56,735 --> 00:31:59,400
- straight from the refrigerator?
- No, thank you.

437
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:00,900
Right you are.

438
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:03,100
Where was I?

439
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:04,500
Miss Marsden.

440
00:32:05,300 --> 00:32:07,365
We rubbed along all right

441
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:11,900
but he were a gentleman and she weren't,

442
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,300
if you take my meaning.

443
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,265
But she were wonderfully loving with Gwennie.

444
00:32:16,300 --> 00:32:20,300
So good with her, I'll say that, 
even though she wasn't her own.

445
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,400
Class will out, though, won't it?

446
00:32:22,900 --> 00:32:26,200
She got a little bit above herself, 
is my opinion.

447
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,550
Even ticked off Mr Halliday for

448
00:32:28,585 --> 00:32:30,465
putting the engagement announcement

449
00:32:30,500 --> 00:32:33,300
in The Times rather than 
the Dillmouth Messenger.

450
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,465
He read it out so proud.

451
00:32:36,500 --> 00:32:39,100
And she said he'd gone all stuffy and stuck-up.

452
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:40,900
Was she here a great deal?

453
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:42,700
Most days and...

454
00:32:43,100 --> 00:32:44,900
Well, I don't suppose it matters now.

455
00:32:44,935 --> 00:32:47,200
quite often, nights too.

456
00:32:47,700 --> 00:32:49,700
I were a bit disappointed in him for that.

457
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,700
There are standards, engaged or not.

458
00:32:53,100 --> 00:32:55,400
No surprise to me when she ran off.

459
00:32:56,100 --> 00:32:58,500
I heard them rowing that night.

460
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,100
She was supposed to be at her digs. 
She turned up here.

461
00:33:03,500 --> 00:33:06,200
Darling, calm down! 
I'm not going to see him.

462
00:33:06,235 --> 00:33:09,017
Well, I am! I can't just stand by and...

463
00:33:09,052 --> 00:33:11,800
Please, sir! Madam, you'll wake Gwennie!

464
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,165
Darling!

465
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,000
Next thing I knew were all that kerfuffle 
in the early hours

466
00:33:18,300 --> 00:33:21,200
- when he found she'd done a bunk.
- Helen! Helen?

467
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,065
She's nowhere, sir!

468
00:33:25,100 --> 00:33:26,690
Perhaps she's been kidnapped.

469
00:33:26,725 --> 00:33:29,528
- Lily!
- Stranger things have happened.

470
00:33:29,563 --> 00:33:31,700
Lily just wouldn't let it lie.

471
00:33:33,700 --> 00:33:36,500
What did Lily really think 
had happened to her?

472
00:33:36,700 --> 00:33:37,800
That girl?

473
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,100
Reckoned Mr Halliday had done her in

474
00:33:40,135 --> 00:33:41,500
and buried her in the garden.

475
00:33:42,100 --> 00:33:45,000
Too much Boris Karloff 
down the picture house.

476
00:33:45,100 --> 00:33:48,700
Said she'd seen something"Very odd indeed, Mrs P'".

477
00:33:49,100 --> 00:33:49,965
What?

478
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,300
Who cares? I didn't want to hear 
her nonsense. Silly mare!

479
00:33:54,300 --> 00:33:57,700
Do you...know where Lily is now?

480
00:33:58,700 --> 00:33:59,900
Sorry.

481
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,200
Dreams can mislead as well as inform.

482
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:07,865
Your father, your mother and Helen

483
00:34:07,900 --> 00:34:10,700
have been whizzing around
your consciousness like dodgem car

484
00:34:10,735 --> 00:34:12,865
bumping into each other, creating sparks.

485
00:34:12,900 --> 00:34:17,100
But a spark, however vivid, 
is not enough to see clearly by.

486
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,100
So you don't think my father 
murdered two women?

487
00:34:20,700 --> 00:34:23,165
Well, anything's possible

488
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:27,200
but Clare died 
when her car went off the bridge.

489
00:34:27,700 --> 00:34:29,600
And you've seen Helen's postcard.

490
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,065
But I recognised Helen 
from the photograph.

491
00:34:32,100 --> 00:34:35,100
- It was her I saw strangled.
- Bump - sparks again.

492
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,265
I'm not saying you didn't see what you saw,

493
00:34:38,300 --> 00:34:43,000
but perhaps Helen's been
what we call projected onto memory.

494
00:34:43,700 --> 00:34:45,500
Before we jump to conclusions 
about your father,

495
00:34:45,535 --> 00:34:47,300
we need some solid facts, don't we?

496
00:34:48,700 --> 00:34:49,700
Yes.

497
00:34:54,100 --> 00:34:56,500
- Will you have one?
- Oh, no, thank you.

498
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:00,200
it's lovely here.

499
00:35:00,235 --> 00:35:01,400
My favourite place.

500
00:35:01,900 --> 00:35:03,200
Good for thinking.

501
00:35:06,300 --> 00:35:07,800
You will come to the wedding, won't you?

502
00:35:08,300 --> 00:35:09,600
You try and stop me.

503
00:35:12,900 --> 00:35:15,700
The truth is, I'm a little scared.

504
00:35:17,300 --> 00:35:19,300
Charles is so worldly and...

505
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:21,500
I just pretend to be, for him.

506
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:24,600
- Of course, he's...
- So much older.

507
00:35:25,100 --> 00:35:26,000
Yes.

508
00:35:27,100 --> 00:35:30,000
Well, perhaps that's why you fell for him.

509
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,850
It's a Peace rose, isn't it, Chief Inspector?

510
00:35:40,885 --> 00:35:43,700
Can't have greenfly disturbing the Peace.

511
00:35:43,735 --> 00:35:46,500
Serious offence. Hit them hard -

512
00:35:47,100 --> 00:35:48,900
the only language they understand.

513
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:54,200
I remember it. 
She skedaddled before the wedding.

514
00:35:54,235 --> 00:35:55,900
So he jumped off Lover's Leap.

515
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,900
You never had cause 
to doubt that version of events?

516
00:35:59,935 --> 00:36:01,300
No. Open and shut.

517
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,800
Nothing...odd?

518
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,600
Unless you count Gunga Din.

519
00:36:09,100 --> 00:36:11,000
The night Helen Marsden ran off,

520
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:12,465
there was an Indian gentleman seen

521
00:36:12,500 --> 00:36:15,000
near the floral clock, at about ten past one.

522
00:36:15,035 --> 00:36:16,200
You do mean...

523
00:36:16,300 --> 00:36:19,300
Actual time. Not where 
the nasturtiums are planted.

524
00:36:20,700 --> 00:36:22,200
- What was he doing?
- Nothing.

525
00:36:23,500 --> 00:36:25,500
Heads turn now if an Indian's seen

526
00:36:25,535 --> 00:36:26,700
walking along Dillmouth Prom.

527
00:36:27,300 --> 00:36:30,300
Back then, Mrs Fane thought she'd be 
murdered in her bed.

528
00:36:30,900 --> 00:36:32,000
Mrs Fane?

529
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,100
Any relation to Walter, the solicitor?

530
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:36,000
His mother.

531
00:36:36,500 --> 00:36:38,200
She reported it the next day.

532
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:40,000
Funny old stick.

533
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,500
I think she keeps him 
on a bit of a tight leash.

534
00:36:44,500 --> 00:36:46,165
Now, if you'll excuse me,

535
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,500
I retire on Friday and I've got 
a speech to write.

536
00:37:01,300 --> 00:37:03,300
Of course, she was a nymphomaniac.

537
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,000
If you're familiar with the term, 
Miss Marple.

538
00:37:07,900 --> 00:37:09,300
She almost nabbed Walter.

539
00:37:09,500 --> 00:37:11,200
Did she really, Mrs Fane?

540
00:37:13,500 --> 00:37:14,765
They were inseparable

541
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,800
until she got her hooks into Kelvin Halliday.

542
00:37:18,500 --> 00:37:20,165
She invited Walter to thelr wedding.

543
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,200
He almost wasn't there because he overslept.

544
00:37:23,900 --> 00:37:26,200
They'd all had drinkies after the show.

545
00:37:28,100 --> 00:37:29,600
Was he very late home?

546
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,200
Not very. I was still up.

547
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,200
We finished a jigsaw, 
then we both went to bed.

548
00:37:35,900 --> 00:37:37,800
Thankfully, all that was just a phase.

549
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,000
Walter's happiest with his mother.

550
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:42,700
Some men are.

551
00:37:44,700 --> 00:37:46,600
You...didn't go out again?

552
00:37:46,900 --> 00:37:49,765
Only Chief inspector Primer 
said that next day

553
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:53,300
you'd reported an Indian gentleman 
late that night...

554
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:55,900
.. lurking.

555
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:57,765
He's mistaken the date.

556
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,000
That was the night before...or after.

557
00:38:01,100 --> 00:38:03,200
They're all thieves. 
Of course I reported him.

558
00:38:03,900 --> 00:38:06,700
I had the most exquisite 
emerald earrings stolen

559
00:38:06,735 --> 00:38:09,100
when I lived in Delhi 
with my late husband.

560
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,400
What was your relationship 
with Helen Marsden?

561
00:38:20,900 --> 00:38:22,300
I loved her.

562
00:38:26,500 --> 00:38:28,400
Before she became engaged to my father?

563
00:38:31,700 --> 00:38:32,900
And afterwards.

564
00:38:35,300 --> 00:38:36,400
I don't mean erm...

565
00:38:38,300 --> 00:38:42,000
I loved Helen as a dearest friend.

566
00:38:43,300 --> 00:38:44,900
We were so very close.

567
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,200
I used to confide everything in her.

568
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:52,100
Much to the disgust of my mother- 
but I didn't care.

569
00:38:54,100 --> 00:38:56,500
Helen was so understanding of

570
00:38:56,700 --> 00:39:00,900
how beguiled a shy country solicitor 
was by her world.

571
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,900
She used to invite me to watch 
the show from the wings.

572
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:08,865
It was thrilllng to feel a part of it.

573
00:39:08,900 --> 00:39:12,400
*...raise the roof and cheer us as you hear *

574
00:39:12,435 --> 00:39:17,100
* The Funnybones say hello *

575
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,000
It may not have been the London Palladium,

576
00:39:25,900 --> 00:39:28,300
but it beat Thursday night Monopoly 
with Mother and friends

577
00:39:28,335 --> 00:39:30,000
into a cocked hat, I can tell you.

578
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:32,700
Did she ever talk of her family?

579
00:39:35,300 --> 00:39:37,000
The Funnybones were her family.

580
00:39:38,700 --> 00:39:41,900
And on that last night, 
I felt like one of the family, too.

581
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,200
Old Lionel and Dickie.

582
00:39:46,900 --> 00:39:47,800
Jackie,

583
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:49,800
Janet,

584
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:52,100
and Little Evle Ballantyne...

585
00:39:52,135 --> 00:39:52,800
Ooh, Jackie.

586
00:39:53,500 --> 00:39:54,800
.. as she was then.

587
00:39:58,500 --> 00:40:00,600
But there was a feeilng of sadness.

588
00:40:00,900 --> 00:40:03,500
We knew that Helen leaving 
would change everything.

589
00:40:03,900 --> 00:40:06,800
Fellow artistes, loyal fans,

590
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,600
we've packed our greasepaint, our trunks.

591
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,700
And we go our separate ways until next year.

592
00:40:15,300 --> 00:40:17,600
Except, of course, our wonderful Helen,

593
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:19,900
who has chosen married bliss

594
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,700
ahead of a life trudging the boards.

595
00:40:23,735 --> 00:40:24,665
Bravo!

596
00:40:24,700 --> 00:40:26,800
Still, no hard feelings, Halliday.

597
00:40:26,835 --> 00:40:27,765
Thank you.

598
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,900
The toast is the Funnybones.

599
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,100
The Funnybones.

600
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,700
I went home, feeling a little sad.

601
00:40:39,300 --> 00:40:43,110
"Do not pass Go" and autumn beckoning.

602
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,400
George! Where's that tea?

603
00:40:51,700 --> 00:40:52,900
Ruddy hell.

604
00:41:01,100 --> 00:41:04,700
All our dreams. Where did they go?

605
00:41:07,300 --> 00:41:09,100
Except for Evie's, of course.

606
00:41:10,100 --> 00:41:12,800
Eve Ballantyne. 
That's Ballantyne with a Y.

607
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,500
You must have heard her records 
or on the wireless?

608
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:19,900
I'm not terribly up to date, I'm afraid.

609
00:41:23,100 --> 00:41:24,300
Dickie'll be down in a mo'.

610
00:41:27,700 --> 00:41:29,200
Of course, I remember that night.

611
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:31,300
End of the season.

612
00:41:32,500 --> 00:41:36,400
And as it turned out... end of the Funnybones.

613
00:41:36,435 --> 00:41:38,200
<i>* And we'll see you next year *</i>

614
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,300
<i>* Come what may *</i>

615
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:48,700
<i>* The Funnybones say goodbye *</i>

616
00:41:51,700 --> 00:41:54,300
The toast is the Funnybones.

617
00:41:54,335 --> 00:41:55,565
The Funnybones.

618
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:59,400
- The Funnybones.
- Cheers, everybody.

619
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,000
We were all in the party spirit.

620
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:04,365
Who wants first dance

621
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,500
with the smoothest smoocher 
on the South Coast?

622
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:08,800
- Jackie Afflick...
- Janet?

623
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,100
.. was up to his usual tricks.

624
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:12,500
Not me.

625
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:14,700
I will, Jackie.

626
00:42:17,300 --> 00:42:19,900
Helen? It's your last night of freedom.

627
00:42:19,935 --> 00:42:22,500
Watch out for his paso doble, girls.

628
00:42:24,500 --> 00:42:28,300
Poor old Lionel Luff. 
Died the next Christmas.

629
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,400
Demon King in panto at Worthing.

630
00:42:32,100 --> 00:42:34,300
Trap door opened too soon.

631
00:42:35,100 --> 00:42:36,300
Southsea.

632
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:38,300
He broke his neck.

633
00:42:39,500 --> 00:42:42,600
This is little Gwenda, Dickie.

634
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:44,865
Kelvin Halllday's girl.

635
00:42:44,900 --> 00:42:48,400
- And Mr Horn.
- Beam. Hornbeam.

636
00:42:48,435 --> 00:42:49,500
Pleased to meet you.

637
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,300
You said it was the end 
of the Funnybones, Mrs Erskine.

638
00:42:57,700 --> 00:42:59,265
Well, by the next summer,

639
00:42:59,300 --> 00:43:01,565
things had changed for us, 
hadn't they, dear?

640
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:06,100
And on that last night, 
I had some news...for him.

641
00:43:10,300 --> 00:43:11,200
Dickie.

642
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:14,500
- Dickie, I...
- What?

643
00:43:16,500 --> 00:43:18,300
I... I'm pregnant, dear.

644
00:43:20,500 --> 00:43:23,900
We couldn't run a company 
and bring up a baby.

645
00:43:26,300 --> 00:43:28,200
This is our George.

646
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:29,800
He's 18 now.

647
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:33,465
Your George?

648
00:43:33,500 --> 00:43:36,200
We met him through Mr Fane 
when I bought Hillside.

649
00:43:36,900 --> 00:43:38,000
Charming lad.

650
00:43:38,500 --> 00:43:41,900
Yes. Dickie thought that Walter
would never take him on,

651
00:43:41,935 --> 00:43:45,300
but I said it was worth a try, 
and he's doing jolly well.

652
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,200
Did you see my father later that night?

653
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,900
Yes. He was frantic.

654
00:43:51,500 --> 00:43:54,600
Some of Helen's stuff had gone missing 
from Hillside,

655
00:43:54,900 --> 00:43:57,900
so he got me out of bed 
that he could look in her wardrobe.

656
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:00,700
Her wedding outfit was still there.

657
00:44:00,735 --> 00:44:01,900
He got you out of bed?

658
00:44:02,300 --> 00:44:04,900
Yes, I'd slept in Helen's room that night.

659
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,300
Because Dickie was snoring.

660
00:44:10,100 --> 00:44:12,100
First floor at the back.

661
00:44:12,300 --> 00:44:14,100
She used to share with Evie.

662
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,800
This used to be the Funnybones' digs,

663
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:18,400
when it was Mrs Finderson's.

664
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,800
After the war, we...had to adjust.

665
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,100
Medals don't pay bills.

666
00:44:25,900 --> 00:44:27,800
Dillmouth seemed like the obvious place,

667
00:44:27,835 --> 00:44:29,800
so we bought the house ourselves.

668
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:31,400
You know what I thought?

669
00:44:34,100 --> 00:44:36,500
That Helen and Jackie Afflick 
had run off together.

670
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,400
It's not right, Jackie.

671
00:44:40,900 --> 00:44:43,100
I overheard him talking her into it.

672
00:44:43,135 --> 00:44:44,800
If you ever change your mind...

673
00:44:46,500 --> 00:44:48,600
Then, he was the only one 
who wasn't there next morning.

674
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:50,500
Apart from Helen, of course.

675
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:56,400
No-one mentioned it 
while we waited outside the town hall,

676
00:44:57,100 --> 00:44:58,500
but it's what we were all thinking.

677
00:44:59,300 --> 00:45:01,900
What a sorry bunch 
we looked that morning.

678
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:04,600
You with your black eye.

679
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:06,800
I tripped over a stage weight.

680
00:45:32,900 --> 00:45:34,365
Hello, Miss Halliday.

681
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:35,700
.. saw a murder in this very house.

682
00:46:00,300 --> 00:46:01,400
Is it left...

683
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,700
at the top of the lane 
for Dr Kennedy's, or right?

684
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,500
Miss Marple. Still sleuthing?

685
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,665
I hate an unsolved case.

686
00:46:11,700 --> 00:46:14,900
- There was no case to solve.
- Possibly not.

687
00:46:16,300 --> 00:46:17,265
Left or right?

688
00:46:17,300 --> 00:46:21,300
- Have you found out something?
- Well, yes and no.

689
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,800
It's all terribly confusing.

690
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,000
An Indian man on the promenade,

691
00:46:26,700 --> 00:46:29,100
a young bride's missing trousseau,

692
00:46:29,700 --> 00:46:32,600
a Funnybone, in the wrong bed, of course.

693
00:46:33,700 --> 00:46:38,700
And was this really sent 
from Helen Marsden?

694
00:46:40,300 --> 00:46:41,700
It's left.

695
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:45,200
Thank you, Chief Inspector.

696
00:46:47,100 --> 00:46:49,200
Happy retirement.

697
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:57,300
You wouldn't have something Helen 
had written from before?

698
00:46:57,800 --> 00:46:59,700
Something we knew could be hunky-dory?

699
00:46:59,900 --> 00:47:02,400
When Miss Marple told me 
you were probably taking the case

700
00:47:02,435 --> 00:47:03,400
I thought of this.

701
00:47:05,500 --> 00:47:07,600
But an autograph's hardly typical, is it?

702
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:09,900
No good for a comparison, no.

703
00:47:11,300 --> 00:47:13,500
- Nothing else?
- I'm afraid not.

704
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,000
This could be hunky-dory.

705
00:47:18,100 --> 00:47:23,300
"Darling James, you're the best, 
best man ever. And all..."

706
00:47:23,335 --> 00:47:26,300
"..my fondest love for being 
so wonderful to me.

707
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:27,800
Your very own Helen."

708
00:47:28,100 --> 00:47:29,400
I'd forgotten that. Well done.

709
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,200
- Very theatrical.
- That was her.

710
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:34,800
I was rather flattered.

711
00:47:36,300 --> 00:47:40,300
We'll um...get these off to the experts, then.

712
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:46,500
Just for the record, Doctor, 
where were you that night?

713
00:47:46,535 --> 00:47:48,700
As I've told Miss Marple, 
I was here, asleep.

714
00:47:49,300 --> 00:47:52,000
- Alone, I take it?
- Very much so, thank you.

715
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,900
Do you know why 
she was at Hillside that night?

716
00:47:56,300 --> 00:47:58,600
- Was she?
- According to Mrs Pagett.

717
00:47:58,635 --> 00:48:00,700
Kelvin never told me that.

718
00:48:00,900 --> 00:48:02,800
I know Clare did sometimes -

719
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:04,565
I'm so sorry.

720
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:06,700
My sister's been on my mind terribly

721
00:48:06,735 --> 00:48:08,300
since Gwenda came into my life.

722
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,000
Helen did sometimes 
spend the night with Kelvin.

723
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,600
I tried not to judge. 
They were desperately in love.

724
00:48:17,500 --> 00:48:19,700
We can't rule out any possibility yet, can we?

725
00:48:20,300 --> 00:48:22,300
If it were me, I'd find that maid Lily

726
00:48:22,335 --> 00:48:23,400
and find out what she knew.

727
00:48:24,300 --> 00:48:26,000
I placed an advertisement
for her yesterday.

728
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,200
- Have you?
- Yes.

729
00:48:29,700 --> 00:48:32,100
Oh! Good.

730
00:48:35,300 --> 00:48:37,400
Do you think Erskine was right 
about Jackie Afflick?

731
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:39,000
Let's find out.

732
00:48:44,300 --> 00:48:45,700
He's done well for himself.

733
00:48:48,900 --> 00:48:51,500
That was my Dot. Dorothy.

734
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:54,700
Her first husband was Dougall's Biscuits.

735
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:59,300
I met her in Nice, 
when she was a very merry widow.

736
00:48:59,700 --> 00:49:01,300
And...Bob's your uncle.

737
00:49:02,500 --> 00:49:03,700
God rest her soul.

738
00:49:08,900 --> 00:49:10,400
I haven't had my vitamins today.

739
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:14,900
- Nice?
- Yeah.

740
00:49:15,100 --> 00:49:17,100
I ran a little bar down there for a while.

741
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:19,700
Well, until I met Dot.

742
00:49:21,300 --> 00:49:24,100
See, I set up in France 
when I left the Funnybones.

743
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:26,200
That must have cost a bit.

744
00:49:27,300 --> 00:49:28,400
Thrifty, me.

745
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:34,100
Why weren't you at registry office 
with other Funnybones?

746
00:49:34,135 --> 00:49:35,100
Were you not invited?

747
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,500
I'd had enough of Dillmouth, that's all.

748
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:39,500
Course I was invited.

749
00:49:40,500 --> 00:49:42,000
I was there when they first met.

750
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:48,665
* Am I blue *

751
00:49:48,700 --> 00:49:51,600
We were um...rehearsing a new number 
when he wandered in...

752
00:49:51,635 --> 00:49:54,365
* You'd be too *

753
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:55,700
.. with you in his arms.

754
00:49:57,100 --> 00:50:02,300
* If each plan with your man *

755
00:50:02,335 --> 00:50:05,600
* Done fell through *

756
00:50:05,635 --> 00:50:07,200
Daddy, look!

757
00:50:09,300 --> 00:50:10,400
Sorry.

758
00:50:10,900 --> 00:50:13,100
It was my late wife's favourite song.

759
00:50:13,135 --> 00:50:15,300
- She had taste.
- Look, do you mind?

760
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:17,800
I've got talent here 
needs my undivided attention.

761
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:25,300
* There was a time *

762
00:50:25,700 --> 00:50:29,900
* I was the only one *

763
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:35,800
* But now I'm *

764
00:50:36,300 --> 00:50:40,900
* The sad and lonely one *

765
00:50:40,935 --> 00:50:42,600
* Oh, lordy *

766
00:50:42,900 --> 00:50:46,900
* Was I gay *

767
00:50:47,500 --> 00:50:51,800
* Till today *

768
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:58,400
* Now he's gone and we're through *

769
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:03,100
* Am I blue? *

770
00:51:09,500 --> 00:51:11,300
You were asking me about the last night.

771
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:16,100
Mr Erskine said he had an argument 
with a stage weight

772
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:17,300
got a black eye.

773
00:51:18,100 --> 00:51:18,800
Did he?

774
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:20,700
Did he really!

775
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:25,100
It was my fist.

776
00:51:25,900 --> 00:51:27,400
You see, Erskine and me,

777
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:29,700
we never really hit it off.

778
00:51:30,300 --> 00:51:32,100
And things came to a head on our last night.

779
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:33,465
Who wants first dance

780
00:51:33,500 --> 00:51:36,000
with the smoothest smoocher 
on the South Coast?

781
00:51:37,100 --> 00:51:38,000
Janet?

782
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:41,300
He knew his missus were playing 
hard to get with yours truly

783
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:45,200
- Not me.
- I will, Jackie.

784
00:51:47,900 --> 00:51:50,500
Helen? It's your last night of freedom.

785
00:51:50,900 --> 00:51:54,000
To be honest, 
I thought if I played my cards right...

786
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,500
Enough's enough now, ladies. 
I'm cutting in.

787
00:51:57,535 --> 00:51:58,600
They're round here!

788
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:00,200
But she wouldn't play ball.

789
00:52:00,700 --> 00:52:01,500
Where are you going?

790
00:52:02,500 --> 00:52:03,965
What about me, Jackie? Won't I do?

791
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:07,000
It's such a lovely song. Please, Jackie.

792
00:52:07,035 --> 00:52:07,765
Just get off me.

793
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:09,300
He said something, and she was gone.

794
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:11,200
See you in the morning.

795
00:52:11,700 --> 00:52:12,565
Jackie, please.

796
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:14,900
I've got enough bad habits 
and so have you! Now get off!

797
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:18,100
Evle had been after me all season.

798
00:52:19,700 --> 00:52:20,865
Sad, really.

799
00:52:20,900 --> 00:52:23,400
- Afflick, you are a bastard!
- And then...

800
00:52:25,700 --> 00:52:26,900
Why did he attack you?

801
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:29,900
Search me. I didn't hang around to ask.

802
00:52:30,500 --> 00:52:32,500
I left him on the floor, 
went back to the digs.

803
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,000
Got stuck into a bottle of malt 
with Lionel Luff.

804
00:52:36,300 --> 00:52:38,000
Long gone now, of course, old Lionel.

805
00:52:40,900 --> 00:52:43,500
Can you think of any reasons 
for Helen's disappearance?

806
00:52:47,900 --> 00:52:49,300
Maybe she was murdered.

807
00:52:52,100 --> 00:52:53,200
Have you thought of that?

808
00:52:53,900 --> 00:52:57,300
- As it happens, Mr Afflick...
- No! No, we haven't.

809
00:52:58,000 --> 00:52:59,100
Well, go on.

810
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:01,000
Well, if you ask me,

811
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:03,000
Erskine bumped Helen off.

812
00:53:04,500 --> 00:53:05,465
Why?

813
00:53:05,500 --> 00:53:07,600
Because the Funnybones were his life.

814
00:53:08,100 --> 00:53:11,300
We've packed our greasepaint, 
our trunks...

815
00:53:11,335 --> 00:53:12,700
He knew she was our biggest draw.

816
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:16,400
He reckoned her marrying 
was gonna break us all up.

817
00:53:16,435 --> 00:53:18,500
.. except, of course, our wonderful Helen,

818
00:53:18,900 --> 00:53:20,700
who has chosen married bliss...

819
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:24,900
.. ahead of a life trudging the boards.

820
00:53:25,100 --> 00:53:26,400
- Bravo!
- Still,

821
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:28,865
no hard feelings, Halliday.

822
00:53:28,900 --> 00:53:30,500
I'll tell you somethlng else, as well.

823
00:53:31,100 --> 00:53:33,000
He had a wife before Janet.

824
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:35,000
And she disappeared.

825
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:37,300
What do you know about her?

826
00:53:37,500 --> 00:53:39,100
Only that she couldn't have kids.

827
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:41,100
Yeah, he told me once. He said er...

828
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,100
that set 'em against each other.

829
00:53:44,300 --> 00:53:47,300
Anyway, bright and early the next morning,

830
00:53:47,900 --> 00:53:50,100
I get on the milk train out of Dillmouth...

831
00:53:52,300 --> 00:53:53,400
I've never looked back.

832
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:58,465
How interesting!

833
00:53:58,500 --> 00:54:01,500
Helen would turn her back 
on Jackie Afflick

834
00:54:01,535 --> 00:54:02,665
and a glitterlng career

835
00:54:02,700 --> 00:54:05,700
to settle down 
in a rather conventional marriage.

836
00:54:06,300 --> 00:54:09,400
And...to a man with a child.

837
00:54:09,500 --> 00:54:10,765
Jolly romantic, though.

838
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:12,765
Romantic? She was a gold-digger.

839
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:15,800
The very same song that meant so much 
to your mother, it...

840
00:54:16,900 --> 00:54:18,500
.. it's a lovely story.

841
00:54:18,535 --> 00:54:19,300
Yes.

842
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:21,365
Gwenda,

843
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:23,400
Mr Vanstone is so well connected,

844
00:54:23,435 --> 00:54:25,365
do you think the Delhi police

845
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:28,300
would let him see the file 
on your mother's accident?

846
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:29,365
My mother?

847
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:31,600
I think your mother's death
may be significant.

848
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:38,100
You think my father's a madman 
who murdered my mother

849
00:54:38,135 --> 00:54:39,600
and then came to England 
and murdered Helen?

850
00:54:41,100 --> 00:54:43,400
Where did you find this woman, 
Mr Hornbeam?

851
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:45,700
Wherever it was, you can send her back.

852
00:54:48,300 --> 00:54:49,700
I am so sorry.

853
00:54:50,100 --> 00:54:51,400
She'll calm down.

854
00:54:53,100 --> 00:54:56,100
If her mother's accident was really murder...

855
00:54:57,800 --> 00:54:59,500
...you must think it was her father.

856
00:55:00,300 --> 00:55:03,800
Unless you're suggesting Dr Kennedy 
killed his own sister.

857
00:55:03,835 --> 00:55:04,900
Dr Kennedy?

858
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:09,200
I'm sure he was never in India.

859
00:55:11,300 --> 00:55:13,100
But perhaps...

860
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:16,600
one of the Funnybones was.

861
00:55:17,100 --> 00:55:19,300
That was just plain bloody rude, Gwenda!

862
00:55:19,335 --> 00:55:20,365
"Miss Halliday" to you.

863
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:21,847
I'm very fond of you, Gwenda

864
00:55:21,882 --> 00:55:23,765
but my fondness is being solid tested.

865
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:25,500
- Then don't be fond!
- I can't help it!

866
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:30,800
Can't you, Hugh?

867
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:49,900
So, um... George was eleven 
when you came back to Dillmouth?

868
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:53,100
Just the age when a boy needs 
a father's influence.

869
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:56,500
Well, he's lucky that he's come back 
from the fighting.

870
00:55:56,535 --> 00:55:57,700
So many didn't.

871
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:01,300
Dickie wanted to try a new life in India.

872
00:56:02,300 --> 00:56:05,100
He'd worked there before 
we were married, but I said no.

873
00:56:05,500 --> 00:56:07,100
Dillmouth has everything we need.

874
00:56:08,500 --> 00:56:09,700
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

875
00:56:09,735 --> 00:56:10,800
Goodbye.

876
00:56:14,100 --> 00:56:15,765
"Hillside, Dillmouth.

877
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:18,600
"Information sought regarding Lily Kimble.

878
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:22,100
"Housemaid at the above address in 1934.

879
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:24,600
"Telephone Dillmouth 8123."

880
00:56:25,100 --> 00:56:27,600
- Could be money in it.
- Nah!

881
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:29,200
Stranger things have happened.

882
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:33,300
It could be a shedload of trouble. 
You and your daft notions.

883
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:37,000
And feed them chickens.

884
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:46,000
"Dear Dr Kennedy,

885
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:48,065
please can you give me advice,

886
00:56:48,100 --> 00:56:50,400
because you are a professional gentleman... "

887
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:53,800
"..what to do about enclosed,
what was in the paper.

888
00:56:54,300 --> 00:56:57,200
After all this time, 
I don't know what's for the best.

889
00:56:57,300 --> 00:57:01,100
If you can advise, 
I will visit tomorrow morning and oblige.

890
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:05,300
Yours respectfully, 
Lily Tutt - as was Lily Kimble,

891
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:07,200
housemaid at Hillside."

892
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:09,600
At last we could be getting somewhere.

893
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:19,100
Ah, yes, Mr Vanstone.

894
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:23,200
No, I can't speak louder, I'm afraid, 
in case she hears.

895
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:24,900
What have you found out?

896
00:57:25,300 --> 00:57:27,865
Clare Halliday's death in 1933

897
00:57:27,900 --> 00:57:30,300
was never regarded 
as anything but an accident,

898
00:57:30,900 --> 00:57:33,065
though the traffic division released the file to

899
00:57:33,100 --> 00:57:36,600
inspector Chopra of the criminal police 
some months later.

900
00:57:37,300 --> 00:57:40,100
Hornbeam, 
is this secrecy strictly necessary?

901
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:42,900
Believe me, sir, 
it could make all the difference to...

902
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:45,400
to your future happiness.

903
00:57:46,300 --> 00:57:48,300
Could you find this inspector Chopra?

904
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:50,900
And I'll be wiring something 
very important through tomorrow

905
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:53,100
Thank you!

906
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:56,900
The Palladium, 
confirming Eve Ballantyne with a Y

907
00:57:56,935 --> 00:57:58,700
will see us after the show.

908
00:57:59,700 --> 00:58:01,100
Do this up for me, will you?

909
00:58:01,300 --> 00:58:03,300
I'm giving it an outing before the big day.

910
00:58:04,900 --> 00:58:07,100
My whole flat would fit in this suite.

911
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:08,900
How do you manage?

912
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:11,100
If I feel cramped, 
there's Kensington Gardens.

913
00:58:11,500 --> 00:58:13,900
Any spare time 
from Vanstone International,

914
00:58:13,935 --> 00:58:15,200
I do the Geological Museum.

915
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:16,765
Rocks?

916
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:18,800
Well, if it hadn't been for the war...

917
00:58:19,500 --> 00:58:20,700
It's what I studied.

918
00:58:21,500 --> 00:58:24,700
But with my mother left alone with 
two much younger brothers

919
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:28,000
.. isostatically-depressed outwash deposits

920
00:58:28,035 --> 00:58:29,300
wouldn't have put bread on the table.

921
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:32,300
Before we go back tomorrow, Hugh,

922
00:58:32,500 --> 00:58:35,400
do you think we could see 
Buckingham Palace and Big Ben?

923
00:58:35,700 --> 00:58:37,500
Oh, and is Windsor Castle very far?

924
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:39,500
Well, I don't know, do I?

925
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:58,900
<i>* I'll go my way *</i>

926
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:01,500
<i>* By myself *</i>

927
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:08,500
<i>* This is the end of romance *</i>

928
00:59:09,700 --> 00:59:13,300
<i>* I'll go my way *</i>

929
00:59:13,335 --> 00:59:15,600
<i>* By myself *</i>

930
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:23,300
<i>* Love is only a dance *</i>

931
00:59:24,100 --> 00:59:29,300
<i>* I'll face the unknown *</i>

932
00:59:31,300 --> 00:59:36,600
<i>* I'll build a world of my own *</i>

933
00:59:37,500 --> 00:59:42,600
<i>* I'm by myself, alone *</i>

934
00:59:45,500 --> 00:59:46,600
Chocolate, dear.

935
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:00,700
You're wearing Helen's necklace.

936
01:00:00,735 --> 01:00:02,465
- Helen's?
- Yes.

937
01:00:02,500 --> 01:00:05,400
I asked to borrow it once, but she wouldn't.

938
01:00:06,100 --> 01:00:08,700
- Used to be your mother's.
- I know.

939
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:12,865
Helen said she wore it to

940
01:00:12,900 --> 01:00:15,100
remember dear Clare for Kelvin's sake.

941
01:00:15,900 --> 01:00:17,200
But then, that's how they were.

942
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:19,700
This way, everyone!

943
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:22,600
Come on, everybody! Come on!

944
01:00:22,635 --> 01:00:24,600
Kelvin! What are you doing?

945
01:00:27,500 --> 01:00:29,800
Helen, darling...

946
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:33,400
.. will you marry me?

947
01:00:37,900 --> 01:00:39,400
Yes, Kelvin.

948
01:00:40,100 --> 01:00:41,800
With all my heart.

949
01:00:42,700 --> 01:00:45,900
Giving everything up for a man. 
Pass the sick bag, Alice!

950
01:00:48,300 --> 01:00:49,300
I never understood it.

951
01:00:50,300 --> 01:00:51,700
She could have hit the heights, you know.

952
01:00:52,300 --> 01:00:54,700
But she wanted to be a dear little wifey,

953
01:00:54,735 --> 01:00:56,200
with a sweet little kiddie.

954
01:00:58,600 --> 01:00:59,800
Don't you miss that?

955
01:01:00,500 --> 01:01:02,500
No, cutie-pie.

956
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:05,500
- The last night in Dillmouth...
- Oh, Dillmouth!

957
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:07,000
What a dump!

958
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:09,750
I wonder 
how Dickie Erskine is these days.

959
01:01:09,785 --> 01:01:11,665
One of my solo spots seems 
to be working.

960
01:01:11,700 --> 01:01:15,300
Obviously I need a bit more practice 
on my time step, but er

961
01:01:15,335 --> 01:01:18,300
I can sing. And I'm ambitious, Dickie.

962
01:01:18,500 --> 01:01:19,765
I want my own spotlight.

963
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:22,600
I want a dress made just for me. 
I want to be front-page news.

964
01:01:22,635 --> 01:01:25,065
Sweetheart...let's be honest,

965
01:01:25,100 --> 01:01:28,900
l've heard you. Never in a million years.

966
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:36,700
I'd like to think he's crept 
into the cheap seats since then

967
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:38,400
and cried.

968
01:01:38,700 --> 01:01:40,500
And Jackie Afflick...

969
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:42,300
were you in love with him?

970
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:45,200
That jerk?

971
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:47,565
Give me a break!

972
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:48,700
Why? What's he been saying?

973
01:01:49,100 --> 01:01:50,600
Tears at the last-night party?

974
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:53,900
Oh, well, I was sentimental back then.

975
01:01:54,100 --> 01:01:56,200
And it was the end of the Funnybones.

976
01:01:56,235 --> 01:01:58,000
I knew I was leaving Dillmouth

977
01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:00,400
to take the long, hard road to stardom.

978
01:02:00,900 --> 01:02:03,300
Do you remember anything unusual 
happening that night?

979
01:02:05,100 --> 01:02:08,600
Oh, um... Well,
there was Walter Fane, I suppose.

980
01:02:09,500 --> 01:02:11,800
I got back to the digs, and there he was.

981
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:14,065
Talk about desperate!

982
01:02:14,100 --> 01:02:16,300
Where's Helen? She's not back.

983
01:02:16,500 --> 01:02:19,300
- I must see her!
- I'm sorry, I can't help you.

984
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:21,200
Beauty sleep!

985
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:27,600
That's it. I've got fans to thrill.

986
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:30,400
Do you have a problem with your eyes?

987
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:34,300
The one thing I learned from Helen, 
my dear,

988
01:02:34,500 --> 01:02:36,000
was mystery.

989
01:02:37,300 --> 01:02:38,400
Miss Ballantyne...

990
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:42,600
-..have you ever been to India?
- Yes.

991
01:02:42,900 --> 01:02:44,900
- When?
- During the war.

992
01:02:45,100 --> 01:02:48,800
Bringing much-needed glamour 
to our dear, brave troops.

993
01:02:50,300 --> 01:02:51,200
Why?

994
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:52,500
Nothing.

995
01:02:53,500 --> 01:02:56,800
Well... Goodbye, darlings.

996
01:03:04,500 --> 01:03:05,500
I'll tell you one thing.

997
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:09,200
I won't go down on bended knee 
when I propose. Far too showy

998
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:12,900
Bet you do. I'll check up on you 
when you're engaged.

999
01:03:17,100 --> 01:03:20,300
The day we met, there was a fork in the road.

1000
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:23,600
- And I wanted to go one way...
- And I said...

1001
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:27,300
.. I always follow my instinct.

1002
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:42,000
Yes?

1003
01:03:42,100 --> 01:03:44,200
Telephone message for Mlss Halliday, sir.

1004
01:03:57,300 --> 01:03:58,300
Miss Marple.

1005
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:00,700
Lily's been in touch and 
they're meeting her in the morning.

1006
01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:03,800
Early start, then.

1007
01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:06,600
Early start.

1008
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:36,600
Yes. You're quite sure?

1009
01:04:37,100 --> 01:04:38,800
- Go on.
- She should be here.

1010
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:41,400
The station's just a short walk.

1011
01:04:47,100 --> 01:04:48,800
- Do you need another aspirin?
- No.

1012
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:52,500
How was Charles this morning?

1013
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:55,200
Well, thank you. It was lovely to hear him.

1014
01:04:55,300 --> 01:04:56,865
I wonder if Lily called in

1015
01:04:56,900 --> 01:04:58,600
at the Erskines' first, by any chance.

1016
01:04:59,100 --> 01:04:59,900
Why?

1017
01:05:00,700 --> 01:05:02,900
It's just I bumped into Dickie in the street.

1018
01:05:03,300 --> 01:05:05,900
I said she was coming to Dillmouth. 
He remembered her well.

1019
01:05:06,300 --> 01:05:07,400
A loyal fan.

1020
01:05:13,700 --> 01:05:16,200
That was Scotland Yard's handwriting expert,

1021
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:17,700
about Helen's postcard.

1022
01:05:18,300 --> 01:05:20,200
- No doubt about it.
- A forgery?

1023
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:23,400
Genuine. He's a hundred per cent certain.

1024
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:25,500
That means your father 
couldn't have murdered Helen

1025
01:05:25,535 --> 01:05:27,200
because Helen wasn't murdered.

1026
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:28,865
My father couldn't have murdered Helen

1027
01:05:28,900 --> 01:05:31,200
because my father would never have 
murdered anyone.

1028
01:05:38,500 --> 01:05:40,500
Helen was strangled. I saw it.

1029
01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:42,800
No-one will ever make me say I didn't.

1030
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:45,400
You believe me, don't you? Promise.

1031
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:49,300
I believe you saw a murder, Gwenda. 
I promise I do.

1032
01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:51,900
And I can't believe my father 
would kill himself.

1033
01:05:53,100 --> 01:05:54,500
Perhaps someone murdered him, too.

1034
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:09,300
Strangled. I won't be retiring Friday.

1035
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:12,000
This isn't the way from the station.

1036
01:06:12,300 --> 01:06:14,400
Not from Woodleigh Bolton station, no.

1037
01:06:14,700 --> 01:06:16,465
But it is from Matchings Holt.

1038
01:06:16,500 --> 01:06:18,100
I told her to go to Woodleigh Bolton.

1039
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:22,000
And to be on the 10.30 from Coombeleigh.

1040
01:06:22,300 --> 01:06:25,300
But according to the ticket collector 
at Matchings Holt,

1041
01:06:25,700 --> 01:06:27,200
she was on the 9.30.

1042
01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:29,200
Why?

1043
01:06:30,900 --> 01:06:32,100
If Helen wasn't murdered,

1044
01:06:32,500 --> 01:06:34,200
what did Lily know that's got her killed?

1045
01:06:37,100 --> 01:06:40,500
About Helen's postcard and the handwriting...

1046
01:06:40,700 --> 01:06:43,200
Are we quite sure it proves she...

1047
01:06:43,235 --> 01:06:45,700
You can't argue with the experts.

1048
01:06:45,900 --> 01:06:47,300
Now, I've been thinking.

1049
01:06:47,400 --> 01:06:50,900
Mr Richard Erskine had a first wife 
who ran off, didn't he?

1050
01:06:51,300 --> 01:06:52,400
Never seen again.

1051
01:06:52,500 --> 01:06:55,800
So Jackie Afflick said. 
But what possible connection...

1052
01:06:55,835 --> 01:06:58,100
There's a technical term we use, 
Miss Marple.

1053
01:06:58,700 --> 01:07:00,000
"Following a hunch."

1054
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:04,700
Erskine came back to Dillmouth 
after the war.

1055
01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:07,565
Say he did so to keep an eye on Lily,

1056
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:10,500
because she knew he'd murdered his first wife.

1057
01:07:10,900 --> 01:07:13,200
He found out she was coming 
to see Dr Kennedy...

1058
01:07:13,235 --> 01:07:14,900
Anybody could have known that.

1059
01:07:15,100 --> 01:07:18,100
I doubt Dillmouth's much different 
from my own St Mary Mead,

1060
01:07:18,135 --> 01:07:19,365
when it comes to gossip.

1061
01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:21,350
And we may think the Funnybones

1062
01:07:21,385 --> 01:07:23,992
aren't in touch with each other,

1063
01:07:24,027 --> 01:07:26,600
but...can we really be sure?

1064
01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:29,800
You think I should get them all here?

1065
01:07:32,300 --> 01:07:35,300
I wouldn't dream 
of suggesting what you should do.

1066
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:38,600
I'll consider it.

1067
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:47,400
He's the only Funnybone 
Lily had a photograph of.

1068
01:07:47,700 --> 01:07:50,500
Why not? We know he was her favourite.

1069
01:07:51,500 --> 01:07:52,500
Mr Tutt...

1070
01:07:53,900 --> 01:07:57,600
Did Lily often talk about her time 
at Dillmouth in Hillside?

1071
01:07:57,900 --> 01:07:58,665
No.

1072
01:07:58,700 --> 01:08:01,900
Except she's saying how she 
should have stayed in service,

1073
01:08:01,935 --> 01:08:04,300
rather than live this life out here with me.

1074
01:08:08,700 --> 01:08:12,700
If there's something particular 
you want to know, ask.

1075
01:08:13,300 --> 01:08:14,600
I'm off to see her mother.

1076
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:18,600
What did Lily make of 
Miss Marsden's disappearance?

1077
01:08:19,100 --> 01:08:20,500
Never believed she ran off,

1078
01:08:20,535 --> 01:08:21,900
if that's what you mean.

1079
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:24,200
Unless she went to the North Pole.

1080
01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:25,900
That's what she used to say.

1081
01:08:26,500 --> 01:08:28,900
- North Pole?
- Search me.

1082
01:08:30,900 --> 01:08:33,600
Thank you, Mr Tutt. 
You've been very helpful indeed.

1083
01:08:33,900 --> 01:08:36,100
- Please accept this.
- I'm sure Mr Tutt doesn't...

1084
01:08:36,135 --> 01:08:37,500
I'm sure Mr Tutt does.

1085
01:08:38,500 --> 01:08:40,000
Gonna bury her decent.

1086
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:42,700
Thank you, miss.

1087
01:08:45,900 --> 01:08:47,400
We're very fortunate, aren't we?

1088
01:08:50,100 --> 01:08:51,300
The North Pole?

1089
01:08:51,500 --> 01:08:52,500
Don't you see?

1090
01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:55,265
All of Helen's clothes,

1091
01:08:55,300 --> 01:08:57,700
apart from her wedding outfit, 
were at Hillside.

1092
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:00,600
It was high summer.

1093
01:09:01,300 --> 01:09:03,200
Lily must have noticed that Helen had taken

1094
01:09:03,235 --> 01:09:05,000
winter clothes, not summer ones.

1095
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:07,700
Or rather the murderer had, in a panic.

1096
01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:10,400
You clever thing!

1097
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:12,100
I am rather, aren't I?

1098
01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:20,100
I do think the police might wonder, you see.

1099
01:09:21,100 --> 01:09:23,550
Walter was seen at the Funnybones' digs,

1100
01:09:23,585 --> 01:09:26,000
when you say he was here with you...

1101
01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:28,300
and a jigsaw.

1102
01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:30,600
He was.

1103
01:09:33,700 --> 01:09:37,600
And was he here with you when 
Lily Tutt was murdered, too?

1104
01:09:41,400 --> 01:09:43,000
Mrs Fane?

1105
01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:46,800
Walter's very dear to me.

1106
01:09:50,100 --> 01:09:53,700
The bond between mother and child, or...

1107
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:58,000
or father and child, 
always finds expression somehow.

1108
01:09:58,035 --> 01:10:01,600
Whether through love, 
or through making allowances.

1109
01:10:01,635 --> 01:10:03,400
What would you know about motherhood?

1110
01:10:16,500 --> 01:10:18,200
Is that Kali?

1111
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:20,965
Yes, Kali.

1112
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:22,500
A dark and terrible mother.

1113
01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:35,000
Sergeant MacAuley, please.
He's expecting my call.

1114
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:39,400
Mrs Erskine swears 
her husband was at home

1115
01:10:39,435 --> 01:10:40,800
at the time of Lily's murder.

1116
01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:42,700
And I'm inclined to believe her.

1117
01:10:43,300 --> 01:10:46,500
But Mr Erskine claims 
his first wife married again,

1118
01:10:46,535 --> 01:10:48,165
to a crofter in the Outer Hebrides,

1119
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:50,665
which sounds like a right 
cock-and-bull story to me.

1120
01:10:50,700 --> 01:10:54,200
As I'm sure the local police 
will be confirming, as we speak

1121
01:10:54,500 --> 01:10:57,100
It's fascinating to see how a hunch works.

1122
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:00,000
But I do hope 
they won't be too long about it.

1123
01:11:00,035 --> 01:11:01,800
Everyone will be here quite soon.

1124
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:03,900
Arthur Primer.

1125
01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:06,000
Yes, Sergeant.

1126
01:11:07,100 --> 01:11:08,300
Yes.

1127
01:11:09,700 --> 01:11:10,600
I see.

1128
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:14,800
And cheerio the noo to you, too.

1129
01:11:19,500 --> 01:11:21,400
Mr Erskine was telling the truth.

1130
01:11:22,300 --> 01:11:23,800
First wife, alive and kicking,

1131
01:11:23,900 --> 01:11:25,900
with second husband and six kids.

1132
01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:27,700
Six children?

1133
01:11:28,300 --> 01:11:29,800
And 50 sheep.

1134
01:11:32,300 --> 01:11:33,500
Dillmouth?

1135
01:11:34,300 --> 01:11:36,400
Yes, yes. If I must..

1136
01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:49,600
Have a wizard time.

1137
01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:53,900
Give your old man a hug, son.

1138
01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:02,200
George, you're on my foot.

1139
01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:10,900
We're about to catch a killer.

1140
01:12:11,300 --> 01:12:13,300
That doesn't mean my house 
can't be well presented.

1141
01:12:14,900 --> 01:12:16,400
Sorry, Mr Hornbeam,

1142
01:12:16,700 --> 01:12:19,300
but there were a message for you 
this afternoon from India.

1143
01:12:19,335 --> 01:12:20,465
Mr Vanstone.

1144
01:12:20,500 --> 01:12:22,550
He said he got what you wired,

1145
01:12:22,585 --> 01:12:24,565
and he's found inspector Chopra,

1146
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:27,600
and the Inspector were investigating 
a jewel robbery.

1147
01:12:27,900 --> 01:12:30,550
- Jewellery? Did he say what sort?
- No.

1148
01:12:30,585 --> 01:12:33,442
Have you spoken to Charles 
behind my back?

1149
01:12:33,477 --> 01:12:36,300
I'm sorry, it was necessary, believe me.

1150
01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:41,200
We'll be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,9

1151
01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:43,800
Eleven.

1152
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:44,900
Eleven?

1153
01:12:46,300 --> 01:12:47,900
Cocktails, please, Mrs Pagett.

1154
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:51,400
There's sherry. With ice.

1155
01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:01,600
Ah! Dr Kennedy.

1156
01:13:01,700 --> 01:13:03,200
They're in there.

1157
01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:35,700
Thank you.

1158
01:13:36,300 --> 01:13:38,400
- Miss Ballantyne.
- Mr Afflick.

1159
01:13:38,700 --> 01:13:40,900
- How's tricks?
- Tricky.

1160
01:13:41,500 --> 01:13:42,900
Er...Miss Ballantyne,

1161
01:13:43,300 --> 01:13:46,900
may I say that your success 
is very well deserved.

1162
01:13:47,400 --> 01:13:48,700
Yes, Walter dear, you may.

1163
01:13:54,700 --> 01:13:56,400
Oh, Dickie, look at you.

1164
01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:02,365
Do you know what time it is here, madam?

1165
01:14:02,400 --> 01:14:05,400
I'm not exactly sure, 
but I imagine it's dreadfully late.

1166
01:14:05,435 --> 01:14:08,400
And I'm so sorry to have got you out 
of what is evidently

1167
01:14:08,435 --> 01:14:10,265
the wrong side of your bed, Mr Vanstone.

1168
01:14:10,300 --> 01:14:12,700
If this is anything less than Gwenda 
dropping dead...

1169
01:14:12,735 --> 01:14:14,300
by the way, I take It she hasn't.

1170
01:14:14,335 --> 01:14:15,600
Did you say ''by the way''?

1171
01:14:15,635 --> 01:14:17,065
Yes. Why?

1172
01:14:17,100 --> 01:14:20,365
Er... The line crackled. Er...

1173
01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:23,000
Please arrange to show inspector Chopra

1174
01:14:23,035 --> 01:14:24,400
what we wired immediately.

1175
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:27,900
And what's this about a jewel robbery?

1176
01:14:48,300 --> 01:14:49,200
Extraordinary.

1177
01:15:05,700 --> 01:15:07,000
18 years ago,

1178
01:15:07,400 --> 01:15:09,600
Helen Marsden was murdered in this house.

1179
01:15:11,300 --> 01:15:13,100
Her killer is in this room.

1180
01:15:14,200 --> 01:15:15,100
Mr Fane.

1181
01:15:16,100 --> 01:15:16,900
What?

1182
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:18,865
Where were you that night?

1183
01:15:18,900 --> 01:15:21,500
Apart from at the Funnybones' digs 
looking for Helen Marsden

1184
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:25,700
Well, they asked, Walter.

1185
01:15:26,200 --> 01:15:27,300
And it was a bit odd.

1186
01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:28,800
You were a bit odd.

1187
01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:32,100
You were obsessed with Helen, weren't you?

1188
01:15:32,135 --> 01:15:34,000
I told you already. She was my friend.

1189
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:36,300
Did you want her to be more than that?

1190
01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:38,400
- No.
- Please just tell the truth.

1191
01:15:41,700 --> 01:15:43,100
I can't.

1192
01:15:46,300 --> 01:15:48,900
It would mean turning 
someone's world upside down.

1193
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:50,200
Your choice, Fane.

1194
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:57,100
It's not.

1195
01:15:59,900 --> 01:16:01,400
It's mine.

1196
01:16:03,900 --> 01:16:05,100
Janet?

1197
01:16:08,400 --> 01:16:09,700
Tell them, Walter.

1198
01:16:16,100 --> 01:16:17,300
At the goodbye do,

1199
01:16:18,500 --> 01:16:22,350
I realised I couldn't let Janet leave

1200
01:16:22,385 --> 01:16:26,200
without a very...private goodbye.

1201
01:16:29,900 --> 01:16:31,300
I went to her dressing room.

1202
01:16:32,900 --> 01:16:35,700
But I heard Dickie coming, so I had to hide.

1203
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:42,900
Dickie.

1204
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:45,600
Dickie, I...

1205
01:16:45,635 --> 01:16:46,400
What?

1206
01:16:48,300 --> 01:16:49,600
I... I'm pregnant, dear.

1207
01:16:49,635 --> 01:16:51,200
What?

1208
01:16:54,400 --> 01:16:56,800
How can I keep the company running 
with a child on the way?

1209
01:16:57,900 --> 01:17:01,200
You stupid, bloody woman!

1210
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:03,400
I was as shocked as he was.

1211
01:17:04,300 --> 01:17:06,500
But I just knew somehow, 
when I overheard.

1212
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:12,500
- Are you saying Fane...?
- Yes.

1213
01:17:14,500 --> 01:17:16,600
He is George's father.

1214
01:17:16,635 --> 01:17:18,700
- Walter!
- Oh, Dickie.

1215
01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:21,800
You've always known, haven't you, somehow,

1216
01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:24,200
that George isn't your son?

1217
01:17:26,100 --> 01:17:27,165
Yes.

1218
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:29,150
Because it wasn't your first wife

1219
01:17:29,185 --> 01:17:31,100
who couldn't have children, was it?

1220
01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:34,200
She's managed six with her second husband.

1221
01:17:35,900 --> 01:17:36,900
It was you.

1222
01:17:41,900 --> 01:17:43,200
Go on, Mr Fane.

1223
01:17:45,500 --> 01:17:46,600
I went home.

1224
01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:50,200
I heard you come in...and go to your room.

1225
01:17:51,100 --> 01:17:52,300
Half an hour later...

1226
01:17:52,700 --> 01:17:53,800
I went to look for Helen.

1227
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:56,500
She was the only one 
who knew about Janet and me

1228
01:17:56,535 --> 01:17:58,100
and I needed to talk.

1229
01:17:58,400 --> 01:17:59,300
I followed him.

1230
01:18:01,800 --> 01:18:04,600
Then I saw that Indian man 
and I was frightened,

1231
01:18:04,635 --> 01:18:05,600
so I went home.

1232
01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:08,700
I was waiting at the Funnybones'digs. '

1233
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:11,765
Where's Helen? She's not back.

1234
01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:14,600
- I must see her!
- I'm sorry, I can't help you.

1235
01:18:14,800 --> 01:18:16,700
Which is when Miss Ballantyne saw me.

1236
01:18:18,300 --> 01:18:20,600
Walter, I'm sorry.

1237
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:24,300
Oh, how could I ever have thought you...?

1238
01:18:26,300 --> 01:18:27,900
My own child!

1239
01:18:28,300 --> 01:18:30,800
You were always such a gentle boy. 
You could never...

1240
01:18:32,300 --> 01:18:33,600
kill anyone.

1241
01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:38,000
Look on the bright side.

1242
01:18:40,800 --> 01:18:42,800
You never thought you'd have a grandchild.

1243
01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:49,900
No wonder you took in George.

1244
01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:52,400
I could have saved myself a black eye.

1245
01:18:52,900 --> 01:18:54,300
You thought it was me?

1246
01:18:54,335 --> 01:18:55,400
Mr Erskine...

1247
01:18:57,100 --> 01:18:59,800
.. what did you tell Helen at the party?

1248
01:19:02,300 --> 01:19:05,200
I told her I'd seen that Indian chap,

1249
01:19:05,300 --> 01:19:06,600
hanging about by the stage door.

1250
01:19:06,635 --> 01:19:07,865
She couldn't get out of the theatre

1251
01:19:07,900 --> 01:19:10,200
fast enough, through the front entrance.

1252
01:19:11,200 --> 01:19:12,900
She seemed terrified, for some reason.

1253
01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:16,800
How intriguing.

1254
01:19:19,300 --> 01:19:21,800
Sorry. Do go on.

1255
01:19:22,400 --> 01:19:25,400
Nothing much to tell, 
except taking a swing at Afflick.

1256
01:19:25,600 --> 01:19:27,600
When you high-tailed it out 
of Dillmouth in the morning,

1257
01:19:27,635 --> 01:19:29,700
I assumed you had a guilty conscience 
about Janet.

1258
01:19:30,800 --> 01:19:33,600
- Maybe the guilt was about Helen.
- Oh, come off it.

1259
01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:36,000
You had just failed 
to get your way with her at the party.

1260
01:19:39,100 --> 01:19:40,400
I know, but er...

1261
01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:43,500
Look, I went back to the digs.

1262
01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:44,700
Honest.

1263
01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:47,300
And then, for the rest of the night...

1264
01:19:48,300 --> 01:19:50,600
This places me in a very difficult position.

1265
01:19:51,100 --> 01:19:54,100
- Professionally speaking.
- You, Dr Kennedy?

1266
01:20:01,100 --> 01:20:03,500
Oh, well, if it's the only way.

1267
01:20:06,700 --> 01:20:08,100
Jackie couldn't have killed Helen.

1268
01:20:09,100 --> 01:20:10,700
No, now we've all got to tell the truth,

1269
01:20:10,735 --> 01:20:12,400
or you'll be in a tight spot.

1270
01:20:15,100 --> 01:20:16,700
We were just kids.

1271
01:20:18,100 --> 01:20:20,100
It was bad enough for me in the bar.

1272
01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:22,700
Who wants first dance 
with the smoothest smoocher

1273
01:20:22,735 --> 01:20:24,067
on the South Coast?

1274
01:20:24,102 --> 01:20:25,400
I will, Jackie.

1275
01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:29,065
And then it got worse.

1276
01:20:29,100 --> 01:20:31,200
- I want to be front-page news.
- Sweetheart...

1277
01:20:31,700 --> 01:20:35,600
I've heard you. Never in a million years.

1278
01:20:36,100 --> 01:20:38,300
I've got enough bad habits,
and so have you! Now get off!

1279
01:20:47,100 --> 01:20:51,300
Is it any wonder I did a stupid, 
stupid thing?

1280
01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:57,200
She was in my room.

1281
01:20:58,100 --> 01:21:00,100
God knows how many of those pills she'd taken.

1282
01:21:01,600 --> 01:21:03,400
But I got her into Lionel Luff's old jalopy

1283
01:21:03,435 --> 01:21:05,300
and I took her up to see the doc.

1284
01:21:06,100 --> 01:21:08,400
I gave Miss Ballantyne an emetic.

1285
01:21:09,100 --> 01:21:10,700
And when she was rid of the worst

1286
01:21:10,735 --> 01:21:12,300
I sat with her until close to dawn,

1287
01:21:12,700 --> 01:21:13,900
while she slept it off.

1288
01:21:14,100 --> 01:21:15,600
Why didn't you take her to the hospital?

1289
01:21:17,600 --> 01:21:19,400
The pills were Benzedrex.

1290
01:21:20,500 --> 01:21:21,665
illegal drugs.

1291
01:21:21,700 --> 01:21:25,600
I needed a lift.
Have you ever tried playing xylophone

1292
01:21:25,635 --> 01:21:27,000
and tap dancing at the same time?

1293
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:29,200
Who supplied you?

1294
01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:32,000
Someone who liked his vitamins, Mr Afflick?

1295
01:21:32,800 --> 01:21:35,400
And made enough on the side 
to open a little bar in France?

1296
01:21:38,700 --> 01:21:41,400
Yes. It was a nice little earner.

1297
01:21:41,435 --> 01:21:42,867
It's not right, Jackie.

1298
01:21:42,902 --> 01:21:44,300
Helen knew all about It.

1299
01:21:47,300 --> 01:21:49,600
Well, if you ever change your mind, eh?

1300
01:21:55,200 --> 01:21:56,065
So we three, though

1301
01:21:56,100 --> 01:21:59,200
not for the most respectable of reasons, 
do have our alibis.

1302
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:04,700
That's not quite true, is it, Doctor, 
in your case?

1303
01:22:04,735 --> 01:22:07,000
Neither Mr Afflick nor Miss Ballantyne

1304
01:22:07,035 --> 01:22:08,265
would have been any the wiser

1305
01:22:08,300 --> 01:22:10,900
if you'd slipped out, 
come up here and strangled Helen.

1306
01:22:13,500 --> 01:22:15,300
Well, strictly speaking, I suppose.

1307
01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:17,900
And strictly speaking,

1308
01:22:18,400 --> 01:22:22,500
you don't have an alibi 
for Lily's strangling, either.

1309
01:22:23,500 --> 01:22:24,665
I was with you at the time

1310
01:22:24,700 --> 01:22:26,600
we thought she was arriving from the station.

1311
01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:29,500
How could I have known she'd changed 
her plans?

1312
01:22:30,600 --> 01:22:34,300
She should be here. 
The station's just a short walk.

1313
01:22:34,335 --> 01:22:36,300
I think you were most ingenious.

1314
01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:38,300
Perhaps the letter found on her body

1315
01:22:38,335 --> 01:22:39,565
wasn't the one you sent her,

1316
01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:43,550
and what you'd really told her 
to do was catch the 9.30 train,

1317
01:22:43,585 --> 01:22:45,100
get off at Matchings Holt

1318
01:22:45,500 --> 01:22:46,800
and take the footpath.

1319
01:22:48,900 --> 01:22:50,400
You'd have had an hour in hand.

1320
01:22:51,200 --> 01:22:54,300
And a quiet place to...kill her.

1321
01:22:56,900 --> 01:22:59,500
And substitute a letter you'd never posted,

1322
01:22:59,535 --> 01:23:01,617
which specifled the 10.30 train

1323
01:23:01,652 --> 01:23:03,700
and Woodleigh Bolton station.

1324
01:23:08,700 --> 01:23:11,400
This beats the convoluted 
and bizarre fantasies of

1325
01:23:11,435 --> 01:23:13,400
my most disturbed patients.

1326
01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:19,900
You seem to have a liking for
little tricks involving post.

1327
01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:23,000
I think Helen's card was another.

1328
01:23:23,500 --> 01:23:25,200
Or rather your card.

1329
01:23:25,300 --> 01:23:28,000
Since I believe you forged it 
and sent it from London.

1330
01:23:28,035 --> 01:23:29,600
Don't you trust Scotland Yard?

1331
01:23:29,700 --> 01:23:32,000
Their expert was quite right.

1332
01:23:32,400 --> 01:23:34,900
The card and photograph 
were both written in the same hand.

1333
01:23:36,500 --> 01:23:37,900
Could have been yours.

1334
01:23:38,700 --> 01:23:39,900
Disguised.

1335
01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:42,765
When you knew Mr Primer and I 
were coming to see you,

1336
01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:47,200
you would have written that message 
from Helen on the back.

1337
01:23:47,500 --> 01:23:51,500
"Darling James, you're the best, 
best man ever.

1338
01:23:52,100 --> 01:23:54,065
- And all my..."
- ''..my fondest love

1339
01:23:54,100 --> 01:23:57,100
for being so wonderful to me. 
Your very own Helen.''

1340
01:23:58,100 --> 01:24:00,965
You must have intercepted the card

1341
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:04,300
before It was delivered here to 
Kelvin Halliday.

1342
01:24:04,600 --> 01:24:08,800
You followed Mr Halllday on his regular 
cliff walk,

1343
01:24:08,835 --> 01:24:13,000
and pushed him to his death on the rocks below.

1344
01:24:15,400 --> 01:24:17,865
Then you delivered the postcard,

1345
01:24:17,900 --> 01:24:21,050
so when it was found, 
everyone assumed he'd killed himself

1346
01:24:21,085 --> 01:24:24,200
after reading from Helen 
that she'd gone from life forever.

1347
01:24:25,300 --> 01:24:26,700
Oh, this is preposterous.

1348
01:24:27,800 --> 01:24:29,500
Why on earth would I kill Helen Marsden?

1349
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:31,600
Where's this taking us?

1350
01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:35,200
To India, Dr Kennedy.

1351
01:24:35,400 --> 01:24:37,000
And to your sister Clare.

1352
01:24:37,035 --> 01:24:38,600
My mother again? But...

1353
01:24:39,900 --> 01:24:41,000
Excuse me.

1354
01:24:44,400 --> 01:24:48,100
Your mother, Gwenda, 
was dismissed from post as governess...

1355
01:24:48,135 --> 01:24:49,400
for theft.

1356
01:24:50,500 --> 01:24:53,800
By the time she met your father, 
she worked in a nightclub.

1357
01:24:53,835 --> 01:24:56,900
She danced with lonely men. 
Nothing more, but...

1358
01:24:58,300 --> 01:25:02,700
.. sometimes an unguarded pocket 
was picked.

1359
01:25:03,500 --> 01:25:06,100
Then she fell in love and married, 
and you were born.

1360
01:25:06,135 --> 01:25:07,600
But her past caught up with her.

1361
01:25:08,200 --> 01:25:10,265
Inspector Chopra of the Delhi Police

1362
01:25:10,300 --> 01:25:13,700
was on the trail of some stolen jewellery.

1363
01:25:16,300 --> 01:25:17,400
Do you mean...

1364
01:25:17,435 --> 01:25:18,800
Yes.

1365
01:25:20,800 --> 01:25:23,700
What's this to do with the murder 
of Helen Marsden?

1366
01:25:28,300 --> 01:25:30,800
That telephone call was from India.

1367
01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:35,100
You killed your sister.

1368
01:25:38,200 --> 01:25:41,100
- I've never been to India.
- She didn't die in India.

1369
01:25:42,300 --> 01:25:43,800
She died in Dillmouth.

1370
01:25:48,100 --> 01:25:50,150
Clare Halliday and Helen Marsden

1371
01:25:50,185 --> 01:25:52,200
were one and the same person.

1372
01:25:55,600 --> 01:25:58,700
Clare and Kelvin Halliday devised a plan

1373
01:25:58,735 --> 01:26:00,200
to start a new life,

1374
01:26:00,400 --> 01:26:02,600
so she could leave her criminal past

1375
01:26:02,635 --> 01:26:04,865
behind her once and for all.

1376
01:26:04,900 --> 01:26:07,600
- The car's a wreck, darling.
- Oh, darling, you're safe.

1377
01:26:08,500 --> 01:26:11,250
- I'll see you in England.
- Yes.

1378
01:26:11,285 --> 01:26:13,892
Clare's car accident was staged.

1379
01:26:13,927 --> 01:26:16,500
Like the rest of the charade.

1380
01:26:17,100 --> 01:26:19,800
She came to England, 
and my father followed later with me?

1381
01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:22,000
Yes, Gwenda.

1382
01:26:24,300 --> 01:26:26,750
Exit stage right, Clare Halliday.

1383
01:26:26,785 --> 01:26:28,642
Enter stage left, Helen Marsden.

1384
01:26:28,677 --> 01:26:30,465
Because it was a performance.

1385
01:26:30,500 --> 01:26:34,500
With the Funnybones 
as their all-important audience.

1386
01:26:34,700 --> 01:26:37,000
- Daddy, look!
- Sorry.

1387
01:26:37,800 --> 01:26:39,900
It was my late wife's favourite song.

1388
01:26:41,400 --> 01:26:42,500
Will you marry me?

1389
01:26:45,400 --> 01:26:47,100
Yes, Kelvin.

1390
01:26:48,600 --> 01:26:54,300
But it wasn't just the police
she was avoiding in Dillmouth.

1391
01:26:55,300 --> 01:26:57,300
Possibly she went to India in the first place

1392
01:26:57,335 --> 01:26:58,800
because she found you a little...

1393
01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:03,000
.. overprotective of her.

1394
01:27:04,700 --> 01:27:05,765
Whatever the reason,

1395
01:27:05,800 --> 01:27:08,565
she had no intention of continuing a career

1396
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:10,900
that would bring her 
the wrong kind of recogniton

1397
01:27:10,935 --> 01:27:12,100
once she was married.

1398
01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:15,165
if only Mr Halliday hadn't

1399
01:27:15,200 --> 01:27:18,565
put that engagement notice in The Times.

1400
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:21,100
She was cross about that, 
as Mrs Pagett heard.

1401
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:25,500
Kelvin Halliday...didn't invite you

1402
01:27:25,535 --> 01:27:26,900
down to Dillmouth, did he?

1403
01:27:27,700 --> 01:27:29,965
You read that engagement notice

1404
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:32,465
and decided to come and meet the man

1405
01:27:32,500 --> 01:27:36,500
who had married your late 
and much-loved sister and...

1406
01:27:38,100 --> 01:27:39,900
.. discovered her very much alive.

1407
01:27:41,300 --> 01:27:43,400
- James.
- Helen.

1408
01:27:43,800 --> 01:27:46,300
Kelvin speaks so lovingly of your sister.

1409
01:27:46,500 --> 01:27:47,500
Dear Clare.

1410
01:27:48,100 --> 01:27:50,300
Did you enjoy playing the role?

1411
01:27:52,100 --> 01:27:54,100
Why would I kill my sister?

1412
01:28:01,700 --> 01:28:03,100
"Darling James...

1413
01:28:04,600 --> 01:28:06,200
.. all my fondest love.

1414
01:28:06,800 --> 01:28:08,100
Your very own... ''

1415
01:28:10,100 --> 01:28:13,865
The sort of thing Helen Marsden could write,

1416
01:28:13,900 --> 01:28:18,900
but knowing she didn't, I wonder if you, 
forgive me, Doctor,

1417
01:28:18,935 --> 01:28:20,965
subconsciously chose the words

1418
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:24,000
you longed for Clare to say to you.

1419
01:28:26,200 --> 01:28:29,300
Is that why you became a psychiatrist?

1420
01:28:30,300 --> 01:28:32,300
Physician, heal thyself?

1421
01:28:36,300 --> 01:28:37,400
Not heal.

1422
01:28:38,700 --> 01:28:39,900
It was too late for that.

1423
01:28:41,400 --> 01:28:42,700
Understand.

1424
01:28:44,300 --> 01:28:47,400
But I now know I could never have loved 
any woman but Clare.

1425
01:28:50,700 --> 01:28:52,100
What happened?

1426
01:28:52,600 --> 01:28:54,065
When Mr Erskine told Clare -

1427
01:28:54,100 --> 01:28:56,700
and let us please remember her 
by her real name -

1428
01:28:57,600 --> 01:28:58,700
about the Indian,

1429
01:28:59,500 --> 01:29:01,565
she assumed it was one of Mr Chopra's men

1430
01:29:01,600 --> 01:29:03,600
come to track her down 
about the jewel robbery.

1431
01:29:04,400 --> 01:29:05,600
See you in the morning.

1432
01:29:06,200 --> 01:29:07,300
It was.

1433
01:29:07,800 --> 01:29:09,565
So she came to see Kelvin.

1434
01:29:09,600 --> 01:29:13,200
Mrs Pagett heard them arguing 
about a man.

1435
01:29:13,500 --> 01:29:15,565
Calm down! I'm not going to see him!

1436
01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:18,300
Well, I am! If you think I'm going to 
stand by and let...

1437
01:29:18,335 --> 01:29:19,465
Madam!

1438
01:29:19,500 --> 01:29:21,000
Kelvin went to look for him...

1439
01:29:22,100 --> 01:29:23,300
.. having phoned me.

1440
01:29:26,700 --> 01:29:27,800
All I wanted...

1441
01:29:29,600 --> 01:29:30,900
.. was one proper kiss...

1442
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:34,100
.. from my little sister, before it was too late.

1443
01:29:35,100 --> 01:29:36,200
Just once.

1444
01:29:36,900 --> 01:29:39,400
Just tonight, for your darling James.

1445
01:29:39,800 --> 01:29:41,900
- No!
- You're my very own.

1446
01:29:42,300 --> 01:29:43,600
My very own.

1447
01:30:12,600 --> 01:30:13,500
Constable.

1448
01:30:20,600 --> 01:30:21,900
James Alfred Kennedy,

1449
01:30:22,600 --> 01:30:25,600
you have the right to remain silent,
but anything you say...

01:30:25,635 --> 01:30:26,500
Where's my mother?

1451
01:30:29,800 --> 01:30:32,000
Uncle James,

1452
01:30:32,800 --> 01:30:33,900
where is she?

1453
01:31:00,300 --> 01:31:01,800
Mrs Bun, the baker's wife?

1454
01:31:21,800 --> 01:31:23,500
She deserves better.

1455
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:30,000
Mr Vanstone sounded most unsuitable to me.

1456
01:31:31,400 --> 01:31:32,500
But they're engaged.

1457
01:31:34,900 --> 01:31:36,400
But not married.

1458
01:31:41,200 --> 01:31:42,100
Yet.

1459
01:31:45,300 --> 01:31:46,600
Instinct.
