But it was not his death that ended my employment. 282 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:52,000 - When did it end? - When my wife decided to end her life. 283 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:56,680 She too was being blackmailed by this odious man who lies dead. 284 00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,520 He hated my wife for the same reason he hated you. 285 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,880 He believed you were all thoroughly un-American. 286 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,160 - Sorry. - He felt it was inappropriate 287 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:16,560 for a senator to have a corrupt wife, a doctor to take advantage of patients, 288 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:21,360 for a wife to emasculate her husband and... so forth... 289 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,600 It's ridiculous. Why didn't he report us to the authorities? 290 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:31,880 He decided to use his information to make some money - very American! 291 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:36,760 - What was your role? - I was a victim, too. 292 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:41,960 At least, my wife was. She had friends who were... 293 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,960 - Socialists! - Oh, my God! 294 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,840 Well, we all make mistakes. 295 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:09,080 He threatened to report her unless she named her friends. 296 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:13,080 She refused, so he blackmailed her. We had no money. 297 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:17,600 The price of his silence was that we work for nothing, like slaves. 298 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,040 - To make a long story short... - Too late! 299 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:25,600 The suicide of my wife created a sense of injustice in me. 300 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,080 I resolved to put Mr Boddy in jail. 301 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:33,000 It seemed the best way to do it, and free you from blackmail too, 302 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:37,760 was to get everyone face to face, confront Mr Boddy with his crimes, 303 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,600 and turn him over to the police. 304 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:46,360 - So, everything is explained. - We still don't know who killed him. 305 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,960 We have to find out before the police arrive. 306 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:55,080 - We can't have the police now! - How can we know which of you did it? 307 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,880 - Why "which of you"? - I didn't. 308 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,000 All of us had the opportunity and a motive. 309 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,680 - Great! - Maybe it wasn't one of us. 310 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,960 - Who else? - Who else is here? 311 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,000 - The cook... - The cook! 312 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,240 Well, she's not here. 313 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,040 I didn't do it! 314 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:51,800 Would somebody help me, please? Help me, please! 315 00:34:58,720 --> 00:35:04,160 - Don't touch it, it's evidence. - We have to find out who did this. 316 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,600 - You'd better explain yourself. - Me? Why? 317 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,280 - Why kill the cook? - Dinner was OK. 318 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:14,440 - How can you make jokes? - It's my defence mechanism. 319 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:19,400 Some defence! If I was the killer, I'd kill you next. 320 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,200 I said "if"...! 321 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:29,120 - The only admitted killer here is her. - I've admitted nothing. 322 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,440 - How many husbands have you had? - Mine? 323 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,920 - Yours. - Five, just five. 324 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,360 Husbands are like Kleenex, soft, strong, disposable. 325 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,440 You lure them like a spider with flies. 326 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,560 - Flies are where men are vulnerable. - Right. 327 00:35:45,720 --> 00:35:50,640 If it wasn't you, who was it?

No. - No? 648 01:11:09,440 --> 01:11:12,480 No. Maybe one of us was murdering the cook. 649 01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:16,080 - Who wasn't here with us? - Do you know? 650 01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:21,440 I do. While we stood here, trying to stop Yvette from panicking, 651 01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:24,440 one of us could have taken the dagger, 652 01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:27,280 run down the hall, 653 01:11:27,480 --> 01:11:29,800 and stabbed the cook. 654 01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:35,440 - We'd have seen them run back. - Not if they used this secret passage. 655 01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:39,040 And the murderer ran down the passage to the study. 656 01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:42,840 - Is that where it comes out? - Yes, look. 657 01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:47,400 - How did you know? - This house belongs to a friend. 658 01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:50,360 - You could be the murderer. - Ridiculous! 659 01:11:50,520 --> 01:11:54,360 If I was the murderer, why would I tell you how I did it? 660 01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:58,480 - Who else knew of the passage? - Me and the Colonel found it. 661 01:11:58,640 --> 01:12:02,840 - You could've known all along. - Why should we believe you? 662 01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:06,920 She was with us while Yvette was screaming, remember? 663 01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:11,520 Why was the cook murdered? She had nothing to do with Mr Boddy. 664 01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:18,200 She did! I gathered you here because you were all implicated in his blackmail. 665 01:12:18,400 --> 01:12:22,440 Did none of you deduce that the others were involved, too? 666 01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:24,680 - Who? - The cook and Yvette. 667 01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:28,560 - No! - That's how he got his information. 668 01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:32,640 Before blackmailing anyone, he had to discover their secret. 669 01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:35,160 The cook and Yvette were accomplices. 670 01:12:35,320 --> 01:12:41,320 I see. So, whoever knew that the cook was involved... 671 01:12:41,480 --> 01:12:44,680 ...killed her? - Yes. 672 01:12:44,840 --> 01:12:49,520 I know, as Mr Boddy's butler, that the cook worked for one of you. 673 01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:53,320 - Who? - You recognised Yvette. Don't deny it. 674 01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:57,680 - What do you mean? I deny nothing. - Another denial. 675 01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:04,200 OK, I knew Yvette. My husband had an affair with her. I didn't care. 676 01:13:04,360 --> 01:13:07,160 - You knew Yvette. - She worked for me. 677 01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:12,320 You also knew her. You were one of Miss Scarlet's clients. 678 01:13:12,480 --> 01:13:18,360 That's why you wanted those photos. You and Yvette in flagrante delicto. 679 01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:23,480 Mr Boddy threatened to send them to my mother. It would've killed her. 680 01:13:23,680 --> 01:13:28,720 Amazing, since you told us she's dead already. So, he had the motive. 681 01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:32,480 - You all did. - Where and when was Mr Boddy killed? 682 01:13:32,640 --> 01:13:38,040 Don't you see? We came back from the study. Mr Boddy was on the floor, 683 01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:41,480 pretending to be dead. One of us knows he's alive. 684 01:13:41,640 --> 01:13:46,680 I said I'd invited you and we realised there was only one other person here. 685 01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:49,320 The cook! 686 01:13:56,200 --> 01:13:58,680 Where is he? 687 01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:08,440 She was dead. We laid her down, our backs to the freezer. 688 01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:12,000 - One of us went through the passage... - Again? 689 01:14:12,160 --> 01:14:14,240 ...back to the study. 690 01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:19,120 The murderer was in the passage. Mr Boddy had been on the floor. 691 01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:21,880 He jumped up... 692 01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:25,960 The murderer came out, picked up the candlestick... 693 01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:30,680 Mr Boddy followed us into the hall, the murderer crept up behind him... 694 01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:35,000 - And killed him! - Will you stop that? 695 01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:36,720 No. 696 01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:39,640 Then he threw him into the toilet. 697 01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:43,760 And joined us in the kitchen. It took half a minute. 698 01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:48,080 - So who wasn't in the kitchen? - That is the murderer. 699 01:14:52,040 --> 01:14:55,960 We put the weapons in here, locked it, and ran to the door 700 01:14:56,120 --> 01:14:58,880 to throw away the key. 701 01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:00,520 The motorist! 702 01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:04,920 I put the key in my pocket. Someone could have swapped it for another. 703 01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:08,800 - It could have been any one of us. - Precisely. 704 01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:11,040 Wait a minute... 705 01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:14,920 Colonel Mustard has a top secret job, 706 01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:19,280 Mrs White's husband was a nuclear physicist, and... 707 01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:23,360 Yvette is a link between them. 708 01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:27,040 - What is your job, Colonel? - I can tell you. 709 01:15:27,200 --> 01:15:30,120 He's working on the next fusion bomb. 710 01:15:30,280 --> 01:15:33,800 - How did you know? - Keep a secret? Me too. 711 01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:38,040 Was this a plot? Or did Colonel Mustard do it alone? 712 01:15:38,200 --> 01:15:41,000 We'll see. Let's look at the other murders. 713 01:15:41,160 --> 01:15:45,000 - Bad luck the motorist arrived. - No luck. I invited him. 714 01:15:45,160 --> 01:15:47,680 - You did? - It's obvious. 715 01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:50,840 Everyone was Mr Boddy's victim or accomplice. 716 01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:54,680 Everyone who died gave him information about one of you. 717 01:15:54,840 --> 01:15:57,680 I got them here to force him to confess. 718 01:15:57,840 --> 01:16:02,160 What about that motorist? What information did he have? 719 01:16:02,320 --> 01:16:07,760 - He was my driver during the war. - What was he holding over you? 720 01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:12,280 He knew that I was a war profiteer. 721 01:16:12,440 --> 01:16:17,600 I stole essential Air Force radio parts and sold them on the black market. 722 01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:21,720 That's how I made my money. It doesn't make me a murderer. 723 01:16:21,880 --> 01:16:26,040 A lot of our airmen died because their radios didn't work. 724 01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:29,160 Was the policeman working for Mr Boddy, too? 725 01:16:29,360 --> 01:16:32,240 The cop was from Washington, on my payroll. 726 01:16:32,400 --> 01:16:37,440 I bribed him so I could carry on with business. Mr Boddy found out. 727 01:16:37,600 --> 01:16:41,760 - Oh, my God! - Oh, please! 728 01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:44,080 And the singing telegram girl? 729 01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:52,680 She was my patient once. I had an affair with her. 730 01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:57,440 That's how I lost my licence. Mr Boddy found that out, too. 731 01:16:57,640 --> 01:17:00,960 Let's put her in the study with the others. 732 01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:06,760 So, now you all know why they died. 733 01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:10,680 Whoever killed Mr Boddy wanted his accomplices dead. 734 01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:13,040 How did the murderer know? 735 01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:17,280 I guessed that the singer informed on me to Mr Boddy, 736 01:17:17,440 --> 01:17:19,920 but I knew nothing of you until now. 737 01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:25,200 The murderer needed to get the weapons and stole the key from my pocket. 738 01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:29,120 Then Colonel Mustard suggested we search the house. 739 01:17:29,280 --> 01:17:32,320 That's right! It was his suggestion. 740 01:17:32,480 --> 01:17:36,120 One of us slipped away and hurried to the study. 741 01:17:36,280 --> 01:17:40,760 On the desk was the envelope containing photos and letters, 742 01:17:40,920 --> 01:17:43,560 the evidence of Mr Boddy's informants. 743 01:17:43,720 --> 01:17:47,280 - Where's the envelope now? - Gone. 744 01:17:47,480 --> 01:17:52,440 Destroyed. Perhaps in the fire, the only possible place. 745 01:17:54,720 --> 01:18:00,360 Aha...! Then the murderer went to the cupboard, 746 01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:02,600 unlocked it, took the wrench... 747 01:18:02,760 --> 01:18:07,800 Then we found the passage to the lounge and found the motorist dead. 748 01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:11,640 That's right! We couldn't get in, so we went back, 749 01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:18,000 got the gun and shot the door open, bang! And then the doorbell rang. 750 01:18:18,960 --> 01:18:23,640 Whoever it is must go away or they'll be killed. 751 01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:29,720 Have you ever thought about the Kingdom of Heaven? 752 01:18:29,880 --> 01:18:33,800 - What? - The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. 753 01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:37,520 - You ain't kiddin'. - Armageddon is almost upon us. 754 01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:40,280 - It's already here! - Go away! 755 01:18:40,440 --> 01:18:45,680 - Your souls are in danger. - Our lives are in danger, you beatnik! 756 01:18:45,840 --> 01:18:51,520 The cop came, we put him in the library. We forgot the open cupboard, split up. 757 01:18:51,720 --> 01:18:54,960 And the murderer switched off the electricity. 758 01:18:55,120 --> 01:18:58,520 - Oh, my God! - Turn on the lights! 759 01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:05,560 - Didn't mean to frighten you. - Bit late for that... I hate that! 760 01:19:05,720 --> 01:19:10,840 Then came three more murders. None of us killed Mr Boddy or the cook. 761 01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:14,560 - So who did?! - The one person who wasn't with us. 762 01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:18,720 - Yvette. - Yvette! 763 01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:23,720 She was listening to us. She heard the shot and thought he was dead. 764 01:19:23,880 --> 01:19:28,520 While we examined the bullet-hole, she got the dagger, ran to the kitchen, 765 01:19:28,680 --> 01:19:34,320 and stabbed the cook. We heard nothing because Mrs Peacock was screaming. 766 01:19:34,480 --> 01:19:37,840 Yvette returned, screamed and we ran to her. 767 01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:41,000 - When did she kill Mr Boddy? - When I said. 768 01:19:41,160 --> 01:19:45,960 We ran to see the cook. Yvette checked that Mr Boddy was dead. 769 01:19:46,120 --> 01:19:51,960 He followed into the hall, she hit him on the head and dragged him to the toilet. 770 01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:54,360 - Why? - To create confusion. 771 01:19:54,520 --> 01:19:57,240 - It worked. - Why did she do it? 772 01:19:57,400 --> 01:20:01,720 Was she obeying orders from the person who later killed her? 773 01:20:01,880 --> 01:20:03,280 - Who? - Who? 774 01:20:03,440 --> 01:20:05,320 Who? 775 01:20:05,480 --> 01:20:09,360 Was it one of her clients? 776 01:20:09,520 --> 01:20:14,440 Or was it a jealous wife? Or an adulterous doctor? 777 01:20:14,600 --> 01:20:19,120 - No, it was her employer, Miss Scarlet. - That's a lie. 778 01:20:19,280 --> 01:20:23,880 Is it? You used her the way you always used her. 779 01:20:24,040 --> 01:20:26,280 You killed the motorist. 780 01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:30,320 - How did I know about the passage? - Yvette told you. 781 01:20:30,520 --> 01:20:36,120 When we split up again, you switched off the electricity. 782 01:20:36,320 --> 01:20:40,320 You got the lead pipe and the rope, strangled Yvette, 783 01:20:40,480 --> 01:20:45,720 ran to the library, killed the cop, picked up the gun, 784 01:20:45,880 --> 01:20:52,160 opened the door, recognised the singer from her photo, and shot her. 785 01:20:52,320 --> 01:20:55,640 - You've no proof. - The gun is missing. 786 01:20:55,840 --> 01:21:00,080 Gentlemen, turn out your pockets. Ladies, empty your purses. 787 01:21:00,240 --> 01:21:02,880 Whoever has the gun is the murderer. 788 01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:06,400 Brilliant! I congratulate you. 789 01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:09,080 - Me too! - Shut up! 790 01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:12,280 - One thing I don't understand. - One thing? 791 01:21:12,480 --> 01:21:15,760 Why? Half of Washington knows your business. 792 01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:20,360 You were in no danger. The whole town would be implicated with you. 793 01:21:20,520 --> 01:21:25,200 They don't know that my real business is secrets. 794 01:21:25,360 --> 01:21:27,920 And Yvette found them out for me. 795 01:21:28,120 --> 01:21:31,560 The secrets of Senator Peacock's defence committee, 796 01:21:31,720 --> 01:21:38,000 Colonel Mustard's fusion bomb, Professor Plum's UN contacts, 797 01:21:38,160 --> 01:21:43,600 and the work of your husband, the nuclear physicist. 798 01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:46,760 So, it is political. You're a Communist! 799 01:21:46,920 --> 01:21:51,040 No, Mr Green. Communism is just a red herring. 800 01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:56,120 Like all prostitutes, I'm a capitalist and I'm going to sell my secrets, 801 01:21:56,280 --> 01:21:59,440 your secrets, to the highest bidder. 802 01:21:59,600 --> 01:22:04,520 - What if we don't cooperate? - You will, or I'll expose you. 803 01:22:04,680 --> 01:22:10,760 - We could expose you. Six murders... - It won't help your reputation at the UN. 804 01:22:10,920 --> 01:22:15,760 You're implicated not only in adultery with a patient but in her death. 805 01:22:15,960 --> 01:22:21,800 - And the deaths of five others. - You don't know the UN, it might help. 806 01:22:21,960 --> 01:22:26,880 - It's no good, I've no more money. - Neither do I. 807 01:22:27,040 --> 01:22:32,600 I know.
