1 00:00:17,670 --> 00:00:21,110 We present Peter Cook and Marjorie Westbury in the Francis 2 00:00:21,110 --> 00:00:26,430 Durbridge serial Paul Temple and the Van Dyke Affair episode 1 3 00:00:26,990 --> 00:00:51,800 The Sitter Inn. Oh, Paul, do stop that awful 4 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,400 noise you. Mean awful noise. 5 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,760 It's from Oklahoma. Not when I saw it. 6 00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:02,280 Thank you. Paul, I've been thinking about 7 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,400 this, Desmond. Steve, I don't want to talk 8 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,800 about the Desmond case, but I I've been talking about it all 9 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:07,800 day. I want to rest. 10 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,720 Why don't you read a book, have a bath or something? 11 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,280 Bath. Why should I have a bath? 12 00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:16,480 You know, it's not a bad idea. I quite agree. 13 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:22,440 Charlie yes Sir, doesn't in it. Yes, Sir, I'm going to have a 14 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:23,880 bath. A bath, Sir. 15 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,680 Yes, a bath. BATH. 16 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,000 Run the water and make sure it's hot. 17 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:28,920 Yes, Sir. Oh, and I'd like the bath salts. 18 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,080 The expensive ones. The ones you like, Charlie. 19 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:31,760 Very. Good Sir. 20 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,720 And Paul, dear, yes dear, please don't sing. 21 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,760 Remember the neighbours. Do you like opera, Charlie? 22 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,040 Yes, Sir. Good, I'm going to sing Aida. 23 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,320 Niall Scene I. Presume you'll be enchanted, 24 00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:42,840 Charlie. I hope so, Sir. 25 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,800 I someone at the door. Excuse me, Mr. T it's all right. 26 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,680 I'll answer it. You run the water, Charlie. 27 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,680 It's all right. Why Hello, Sir Graham. 28 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,440 Hello Steve, is that husband of yours young? 29 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,720 Yes, matter of fact, he's just going to have a bath, but come 30 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:00,480 along in. Thank you. 31 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,400 Yes, I am. I think you've met Inspector 32 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,080 Eden, Steve. Oh, yes, of course. 33 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,400 How are you, Inspector? I'm. 34 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:10,600 Very well, thank you, Missus Temple. 35 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,400 I'm afraid we've dropped in to an awkward moment. 36 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,440 No, that's all right. I'll tell Paul you're here. 37 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,440 I decide to take a bath. Our so-called hot waters is so 38 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:19,040 Graham. Hello. 39 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,800 Temple, sorry if we got you out of the bath. 40 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,600 You arrived just in time, 5 minutes late. 41 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,040 I should have been a human icicle. 42 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,800 You look happy, Eden. What's on your mind? 43 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,000 I'm very worried about the Desmond case. 44 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,800 Yes, I'll bet you are. I never know. 45 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,680 This is a case. Even the American papers are 46 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:39,080 full of it. I I understand Temple that 47 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,600 you've seen, Missus Desmond. Yeah, she found me shortly after 48 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,600 the baby disappeared, and she's been phoning and writing ever 49 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,160 since. Looks, Graham, I admit I'm 50 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,200 interested in this case, but I'd like to hear your side of the 51 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,480 story. Well, go on, Eden. 52 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,640 Let me have the facts. Assume I know nothing whatever 53 00:02:55,640 --> 00:02:57,000 about the case inspector. Right. 54 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,600 Well, a young widow, Missus Mary Desmond, has a flat in Western 55 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,400 House where it's a large block of flats on the Edgeware Rd. 56 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,200 Yes, I know. On about a week ago week, last 57 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,440 Tuesday to be exact, Missus Desmond had a date in town. 58 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,400 She'd been invited out to dinner by a young fellow called Terry 59 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,000 Palmer. Palmer's an old friend. 60 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:16,520 They go out together quite a lot. 61 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,720 I. See Missus Desmond has an 18 62 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,120 months old baby and since the death of her husband just over 2 63 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,240 years ago, both she and the baby Susan have lived at Weston 64 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,240 House. Whenever she wants to go out in 65 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:29,680 the evening, she employs a sitter in. 66 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,880 It's always the same sitter in Miss Millicent, an elderly 67 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,280 spinster. Yes, well, last Tuesday week the 68 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:38,880 old girl agreed to sit in as usual. 69 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,320 She turned up at the flat at about 6:30 and Missus Desmond 70 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,200 met Terry Palmer at the Commodore Club in Brook Street 71 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,000 just after 715. Now go on. 72 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,280 Why? I think you can carry on from 73 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,760 here, Sir Graham. Well, they stayed at the 74 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,440 Commodore until 10:45 when Missus Desmond arrived back at 75 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,720 the flat, which was after 11:15. There was no sign of Miss 76 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,160 Millicent or the baby. They had completely disappeared. 77 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,000 I see. Well, those are the facts, 78 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,520 Temple. Now tell us how you fit into the 79 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,080 picture. I'm afraid I don't, at least not 80 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,720 officially. But as I told you, I've had 81 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,440 several letters from Missus Desmond and this morning Terry 82 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,640 Palmer phoned me. He seemed very anxious that I 83 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,360 should have a talk to her. And did you? 84 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,320 Yes, Stephen, I went down to Weston House shortly after 85 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,720 breakfast. When we arrived at the flat, 86 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,680 Terry Palmer was there. He was rather a different sort 87 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,400 of person from what I'd expected. 88 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,120 Mr Temple. Yes. 89 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:37,520 Do come in. Thank you. 90 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,280 Oh, this is my wife. Oh. 91 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,960 How'd you do, Missus Temple? How do you do? 92 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:43,520 It's very good of you both to come. 93 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,440 I must apologise for farting. But you see, Terry, it's Mr and 94 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:48,440 Missus Temple. Mary. 95 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,920 Oh. You seem surprised, Missus 96 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,760 Desmond. Weren't you expecting us? 97 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,360 You said in your letter that you were too busy to see me, so I. 98 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,240 That was over a week ago. Mary, I I spoke to Mr Temple 99 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,440 again this morning. He's changed his mind only to 100 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:02,600 the extent of having a talk with him. 101 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,840 Missus Desmond, I doubt very much if there's anything I can 102 00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:06,720 do. Then why did you come? 103 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,920 Well, Mr Palmer said that you were desperate and that you 104 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,000 wanted to see me. Well, I have seen you and I'm 105 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,440 quite sure you're right. There is nothing you could do 106 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,360 for me. Will you please? 107 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,240 Go, Mary, please. Oh, is this a photograph of your 108 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,360 little girl? Yes, that's Susan. 109 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,520 She's very pretty, isn't she? How old is she, Missus Desmond? 110 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,920 She's just 18 months. Is she walking? 111 00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:36,480 Yes, she started to walk when she was 12 months. 112 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,000 She's rather advanced to her age. 113 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,320 I suppose you don't happen to have a photograph of Miss 114 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,480 Millicent? No, but the police have. 115 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:45,600 I believe they got it from Miss Edwards. 116 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,160 Who is Miss Edwards? That's Queen Edward. 117 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,440 She lives with Miss Millicent. Where? 118 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,560 In a small house on the Finchley Rd. 119 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,960 And you say this Queenie Edwards lives with her? 120 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,600 Yes. She's a sort of paying guest. 121 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,080 I understand they've been together for years. 122 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,480 I see. Missus Desmond. 123 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,000 I'm quite prepared to do anything which might help the 124 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,680 police to find your baby. Police, They'll never find 125 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,680 Susan. All they do is ask a lot of 126 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,480 stupid questions. My dear, you've got to have 127 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,800 patience. Patience, I don't know how you 128 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,480 can be so calm about things. Terry. 129 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,960 It's over a week since Susan disappeared. 130 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,760 Oh, Mary, please. Now, come on, my dear, 131 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:21,800 Everything is going to be all right. 132 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,280 Let's see if I've got the facts right. 133 00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:29,160 Missus Desmond, on Tuesday of last week, you and Mr Palmer had 134 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,840 dinner at the Commodore Club. You arrived there at about about 135 00:06:32,840 --> 00:06:34,520 7:30. And when did you get back to the 136 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,600 flat? 11:15 What happened, Missus 137 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,680 Desmond? Well, I rang the bell and there 138 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,200 was no reply, so I came to the conclusion that Miss Millicent 139 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,960 had fallen asleep. She did that once before, didn't 140 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,600 you, Terry? Yes, yes she did. 141 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,920 No, go on. Well, when I realised that she 142 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,720 wouldn't answer the door, I let myself in. 143 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:57,920 The flat looked perfectly all right. 144 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,960 Radio was playing, the curtains were drawn, they all looked 145 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,760 perfectly normal. And then, of course, I found the 146 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,040 flat was empty. What did you do? 147 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,360 Well, I phoned Miss Edwards to see if Miss Millicent returned 148 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,560 home and of course she hadn't. Was Miss Edwards surprised when 149 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,600 you told her what had happened? Yes, of course. 150 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,080 She seemed awfully upset. I thought, go on. 151 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,960 There's nothing else to tell. No one had seen Miss Millicent 152 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:26,720 or Susan, no one in the block. I mean, I made Terry telephone 153 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,480 for the police. Missus Desmond, you said just 154 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,480 now that when you went to the flat the radio was playing. 155 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,000 Yes. Can you remember what it was 156 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,200 playing? It was dance music. 157 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,400 Just what I'm afraid I can't remember I. 158 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,200 See, you haven't told the temple about the telephone message, 159 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,760 Mary. Oh yes, Miss Millicent had 160 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,880 rather a bad memory, so if anyone rang up I used to make 161 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,560 her jot the message down on a pad. 162 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,440 It really didn't matter then if she forgot to tell me about it. 163 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,760 And was there a message on this particular night? 164 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,200 Yes, it was scribbled on the pad by the telephone. 165 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,600 I can't just remember how it was worded, but. 166 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,200 It was in Miss Millicent's handwriting and said Mr Van Dyke 167 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:05,960 telephoned. He left no message. 168 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:07,520 Mr Van Dyke. Yes. 169 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,440 And The funny thing is Mary doesn't know anyone called Van 170 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,360 Dyke. Neither do I if it comes to 171 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,280 that. Missus Desmond, I read something 172 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:17,880 in one of the papers about a doll. 173 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:23,160 Oh yes, Susan had a little Dutch doll in a blue dress. 174 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,280 Terry bought it for her. It isn't in the flat. 175 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,320 She must have taken it with her. And there's nothing else 176 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,200 missing. No, nothing. 177 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,440 When did you first meet Miss Millicent? 178 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,880 About a year ago I was advertising for a sitter in in 179 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,000 the local paper and Miss Millicent answered the 180 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,240 advertisement. I see, Mr Temple, if anything's 181 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,800 happened to Susan, I'm quite sure Miss Millicent hasn't had 182 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,880 anything to do with it. How well do you know this friend 183 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,400 of hers, Queenie Edwards? Oh, hardly at all. 184 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,400 Miss Millicent brought her to the flat one night about six 185 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,920 months ago, and I suppose I've spoken to her about half a dozen 186 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,400 times on the telephone. Is she about the same age as 187 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,920 Miss Millicent? Oh, no, she's about 30. 188 00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:07,440 She works with Madame Flaubert's the Milliner's in Mount St. 189 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,600 I see. Well, thank you, Missus Desmond. 190 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,840 Now don't worry. And remember, the police may 191 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,320 seem to ask a lot of unnecessary questions, but in the long run, 192 00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:19,240 I can assure you it's for the best. 193 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,760 Yeah, she told us about the phone call. 194 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,560 Temple also about the doll, but it doesn't seem to have got us 195 00:09:27,560 --> 00:09:28,760 anywhere. Did you check the call, 196 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,200 Inspector, the Van Dyke call, I mean, yes, there was a call, all 197 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,400 right. He went through the Western 198 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,160 House switchboard about 9:00. So Miss Millicent then, 199 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,640 presumably the baby must have been in the flat up till then, 200 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,400 yes? You know, there's one point in 201 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,960 Missus Desmond's story that struck me as being rather odd. 202 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,600 Why did she ring the bell instead of simply letting 203 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,040 herself into the flat? Yes, it struck me, too. 204 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,080 What do you make of this Van Dyke business, Temple? 205 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,840 Do you think Missus Desmond's telling the truth when she says 206 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,160 she doesn't know anyone of that name? 207 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,760 Yes, I think she is. What's your opinion of Palmer 208 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,000 Temple? I'm not exactly impressed by 209 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,760 him, Inspector. I'll see what you mean. 210 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,120 I think Palmer's all right. Of course, he's in rather a 211 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:13,280 difficult position, isn't he? Why is he very friendly with 212 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:14,600 Missus Desmond? I don't know. 213 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:16,720 It's difficult to say. Steve. 214 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:18,880 He's a great friend of our husbands. 215 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,480 The three of them went about a lot together. 216 00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:22,600 What does he do? Well, he calls himself a 217 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,120 freelance journalist. What happened this morning, 218 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,080 Temple, after you saw Missus Desmond? 219 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:28,920 I sent Steve along to Madame Flo Bears. 220 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,840 I wanted to to take a good look at Queenie Edwards. 221 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,240 Did you take a good look at the Steve? 222 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,560 Yes, we had quite an interesting conversation. 223 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:37,840 I'll bet you did what? Do you mean? 224 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:39,760 Go on, Steve, tell us what happened. 225 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,920 Well, as soon as I walked into Madame Flaubert's I spotted 226 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,080 Queenie Edwards. I don't know how I recognise 227 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,440 I've never seen her before. Good old intuition. 228 00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:52,560 But I knew instinctively that that tall, rather good looking 229 00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:58,440 girl was Queenie Edwards. Good morning, Madame. 230 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,840 Good morning. You've got a rather nice little 231 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,200 hat in the window, the one over there with the flower. 232 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,640 Do you think I could try it on? Yes, of course, Madame. 233 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,480 Excuse me a moment. I'll get it for you. 234 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,440 Thank you. Are you being attended to, 235 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:11,520 Madam? Yes, thank you. 236 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,320 Ah, yes, I see. Miss Edwards. 237 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:14,760 He's looking after you. Yes. 238 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,240 She's getting a hat for me. I see. 239 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,440 Is this the one? Oh, yes, that's it. 240 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,960 Oh. Oh, it's dark blue. 241 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,360 I thought it was black. No, Madam. 242 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,800 Dark blue. Won't you try it on? 243 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,000 Thank you. It is nice, isn't it? 244 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,320 What a pity. It's blue. 245 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,720 Did you particularly want black? Yes, I did. 246 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,320 It is very nice. How much is it? 247 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,720 It's 12 1/2 Guineas, Madam. It's rather a lot, isn't it? 248 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,840 It's a model, you see, I'm afraid most of our hats are 249 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,200 models. All right, I have it. 250 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:46,680 Thank you, Madame. Here's my card. 251 00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:47,880 Would you send it to that address, please? 252 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,840 Yes, certainly. Miss Missus Temple? 253 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,880 Yes. Missus Paul Temple. 254 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,320 Yes, that's right. You're Queen Edwards, aren't 255 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:58,680 you? Yes. 256 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,840 I was talking to a friend of yours this morning. 257 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,000 Or rather, a friend of a friend. And Missus Desmond. 258 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:04,960 I've only met Missus Desmond once. 259 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,760 She's terribly upset about her baby. 260 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,920 And Miss Millicent? Yes, I know. 261 00:12:09,680 --> 00:12:11,200 What do you think happened, Miss Edwards? 262 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,120 Do you think I don't know what happened? 263 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,000 I see. When was the last time you saw 264 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,360 Miss Millicent? I saw the night she went to 265 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,240 Missus Desmond's. We had tea together. 266 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,520 She was in quite good spirits. I'm sure she never dreamt that 267 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,200 anything like this would happen. What do you think has happened? 268 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:30,600 I've told you. I don't know. 269 00:12:32,560 --> 00:12:34,400 Would you like this hat in a box, Madam? 270 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,360 Or shall I ask one of our assistants? 271 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,560 Miss Edwards? Yes, my husband has promised 272 00:12:39,560 --> 00:12:42,520 Missus Desmond to find out what's happened to her baby and 273 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,760 to your friend Miss Millicent. Now, I'm not suggesting that you 274 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,320 know anything, but but what? Oh. 275 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,000 Why do you resent being questioned? 276 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:53,960 Surely you realise? I mean, there's far too many 277 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:55,800 questions. First the police, then the 278 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,440 report isn't, and now you come snooping around. 279 00:12:58,560 --> 00:13:00,720 You didn't want that hat. You only came in here because 280 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,960 you wanted to pry and push your nose into things which don't 281 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,880 concern you. Now go away. 282 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,200 Leave me alone, Miss Edwards. Please. 283 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,960 Oh, please don't. Is anything the matter, Madame? 284 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,360 No, no, no. It's quite all right, Queenie. 285 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,640 What is it? What is the matter with you? 286 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,520 I'm sorry, Madame Flaubert. Queenie. 287 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,440 You will have to pull yourself together, my dear. 288 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,640 We cannot go on like this, you know. 289 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,600 I know. Hello. 290 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,720 I'm so sorry, Madame. Usually little overwrought. 291 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,640 She had a great deal of worry just recently. 292 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,120 That's all right. It's quite all right. 293 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,080 I understand perfectly. Is there anything I can show 294 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,520 you, Madame? No, if you don't mind, I would 295 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,920 like to talk to Miss Edwards. Of course, Madam. 296 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,760 Of course. I quite understand. 297 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,520 I will leave you with her. Thank you. 298 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,000 I'm sorry. I I'm. 299 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,040 I'm sorry I blew off steam like that. 300 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,560 That's all right. Wait till my husband hears what 301 00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:54,640 I paid for this hat. He'll blow off steam. 302 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:59,800 All right, Queenie, You don't mind if I ask you one or two 303 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,840 questions now, do you? No, No. 304 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,400 Go on. Did Miss Millicent work for 305 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,920 anyone else besides Mrs Desmond? Yes. 306 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,840 One or two people who, for instance, Well, I I just can't 307 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,320 remember, not off hand, but Mr Shelley would know. 308 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,840 Why don't you ask him Who's Mr Shelley? 309 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,960 He runs a mother's Help Bureau in Hampstead. 310 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,840 I think he calls himself Shelley Services. 311 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,600 And Miss Millicent worked for Shelley Services? 312 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,040 I think she did about two nights a week for them. 313 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,320 She didn't get Mrs Desmond through Shelley. 314 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,000 That was a private arrangement. How well did you know Miss 315 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,520 Millicent? Oh, ever so well. 316 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,440 We've been together for years. She was an old school friend of 317 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:40,400 mothers. I see. 318 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,760 Gwinnie, have you heard of anyone called Van Dyke? 319 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,160 Van Dyke? No, not that I know of. 320 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:50,600 But it's funny you should ask me that. 321 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,720 The police asked me that very same question. 322 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:53,720 Did they? Yes. 323 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,560 And I told him I'd never heard of anyone called Van Dyke. 324 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,120 I'm sure Miss Millicent hadn't either. 325 00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:02,800 Who is he, anyway? He telephoned Missus Desmond the 326 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:07,000 night your friend disappeared. What's your opinion about all 327 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,160 this, Queenie? I don't know. 328 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,160 I've thought about it. I've, I've lain awake every 329 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:13,440 night thinking about it. But. 330 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,680 But I don't know what could have happened to it. 331 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,680 I just don't know. And that's the truth, Missus 332 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,880 Temple. Well, he was certainly got a 333 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,480 great deal more out of Queenie Edwards than we did, Steve. 334 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,160 Yes, we seem to get off on entirely the wrong foot. 335 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,000 It was quite a while before she even told us about Shelley. 336 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:32,400 Did you see this fellow, Shelley? 337 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,760 We did. Have you seen him, Temple? 338 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,600 No, not yet. What a character. 339 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,960 Queenie Edwards is right. He runs a sort of mother's Helps 340 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,840 agency. To look at him, you'd think he'd 341 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,520 walk straight out of the chorus. But. 342 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:47,920 He's got his head screwed on all right. 343 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,680 I shouldn't be surprised he isn't a pretty shrewd. 344 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,080 Bird. Yes, I'm quite sure he is. 345 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,560 Was he any help, Sir Graham? Well, he gave us the names and 346 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,400 addresses of two other people who've employed Miss Millicent 347 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,000 as a Sitter Inn. Unfortunately, they couldn't 348 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,520 help us. I don't have to tell you why 349 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,480 we're here at Temple. We shall need all the help we 350 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,520 can get over this case. It's a pretty tough assignment. 351 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,800 Yeah, and a pretty expensive one too, by the look of things. 352 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,800 What do you mean? 12 Guineas for a hat, Timothy. 353 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,640 Penny for your thoughts Penny for your thoughts. 354 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,240 You've been gazing into space for the last 10 minutes. 355 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,080 I. Was thinking about Terry Palmer. 356 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,840 He's either a very good freelance journalist or he's got 357 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,480 a private income. Right, I'll answer it. 358 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:49,240 Hello. Hello. 359 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:50,760 Who is that? Please? 360 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,840 This is Missus Temple speaking. Oh, this is Queenie Edwards. 361 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,520 Do you Remember Me when we met this morning? 362 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:56,400 You. Madam Flo Best? 363 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,440 Yes, of course I remember you. What is it, Queenie? 364 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,480 I want to talk to your husband. Is he there? 365 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:01,880 Missus Temple. Oh, please. 366 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,200 It's very important. Yes. 367 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,160 Just a minute. It's Queenie Edwards. 368 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,000 She wants to talk to you. Sounds a bit on it, right? 369 00:17:07,079 --> 00:17:08,640 I'll take it on the bedroom extension. 370 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,720 You hold on, Steve. Just a minute, Queenie. 371 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,000 My husband's coming. It won't be long. 372 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,280 Will you, Misses Temple?

Her face was in a dreadful 416 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,520 state. Thank God she was unconscious. 417 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:54,560 They've taken her to the hospital. 418 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,640 Isn't there anything we can do?

Did she talk? 436 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,200 No. Unfortunately, the poor girl 437 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,080 never regained consciousness. I see. 438 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,160 I understand you were Paddington last night. 439 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:12,640 Yes.

We'll go there tonight. 461 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,920 It's so good going along this morning, we'd only arouse 462 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,240 suspicions. Come on, let's have breakfast. 463 00:22:32,510 --> 00:22:33,710 Good evening, Sir.

It's an attache. 474 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,720 Case. Isn't it the one that was left 475 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,200 here a couple of days ago? Yes. 476 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:12,600 Yes. It belongs to a friend of mine. 477 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,200 He asked me to pick it up for him. 478 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:19,080 I wondered when he was going to collect it. 94 Yes, this is it. 479 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,160 All right, Every answer.

No, Sir. 486 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,560 Would have been marked on a ticket if he'd left anything 487 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:40,560 else, Sir. Oh, I see. 488 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,360 Well, good night. Good night, Sir. 489 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:59,360 Thank you, Sir. Everything all right, darling? 490 00:23:59,360 --> 00:24:03,400 Yes. Did you get the Oh, it's a 491 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,960 Natasha case, So that's what the ticket was for? 492 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,600 Yes, it was left of the cloak room by Terry Palmer. 493 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,240 Palmer But how do you know? The attendant told me. 494 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,080 Apparently Palmer left it there 2 days ago. 495 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,280 Switch the engine off, Steve. Let's see what's inside this 496 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,600 thing. Is the case locked? 497 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,440 Yes. Oh, Paul, wait a minute. 498 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,320 What are you doing? Just a minute. 499 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,040 What are you listening for? It's all right. 500 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:28,760 I've already done that. Don't worry, Steve, it won't 501 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,480 blow up. I hope. 502 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,840 How are you going to get a dope faucet? 503 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,200 No, I've got some keys here somewhere. 504 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,960 Oh, here we are. I think one of these might fit. 505 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:45,880 This looks a possibility. No, I'm afraid it's too. 506 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:51,440 But just a minute. Yes, that's done it by Timothy. 507 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,960 Steve. Look, look what's in the case. 508 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,160 It's the doll. It's the little Dutch doll. 509 00:25:15,950 --> 00:25:20,110 Is Charlie out? Yes, Paul, what are you going to 510 00:25:20,110 --> 00:25:23,480 do about this doll? I made a phonesogram I want to 511 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,200 examined. I want to know if there's 512 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,800 anything inside it. I'd like to tear the thing to 513 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,760 pieces myself, but I suppose the arm wouldn't like that it. 514 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,080 Looks a perfectly ordinary doll to me it. 515 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,320 Looks it. But why did Palmer put it in a 516 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,080 Natasha case and deposit it at the Commodore? 517 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,320 Well, if Palmer was responsible for the kidnapping of Miss 518 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,000 Millicent and the baby, oh frankly, I don't see how he 519 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,000 could have been. Well then obviously you'd want 520 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,440 to get rid of the doll. Why? 521 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,520 He probably thought it was incriminating. 522 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,600 And surely the obvious thing to do would be to destroy it. 523 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,960 Oh yes, doesn't make sense, does it? 524 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,680 I wonder if by any chance the cloakroom attendant, What does 525 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,360 it say? There's a note here on the pad 526 00:26:02,360 --> 00:26:04,160 by the telephone. Charlie must have written it. 527 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:10,400 Well, what does it say? It says a Mr Van Dyke 528 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,000 telephoned.

Wasn't it the man who phoned 544 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,120 Missus Desmond the night that Millicent and the baby 545 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:05,800 disappeared?

It's Charlie's handwriting. 548 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,640 I wonder what time this man telephoned. 549 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,800 Well, we left the flat at about 8:30, so it must have been after 550 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,800 that. Oh, here's Charlie. 551 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:20,800 Oh, hello, Charlie. I thought you had gone out for 552 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,160 the evening.

Well, what did he say? 558 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,400 This Mr Van Dyke? He didn't say anything. 559 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,720 At least not much. The phone rang. 560 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,840 I picked it up and the voice said can I speak to Mr Temple 561 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,200 please? I said I'm sorry, but he's out. 562 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,840 Any message? And then what happened? 563 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,600 The voice said no message, just tell him when Mr Van died, 564 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,680 telephoned and that's all. That's all. 565 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,040 What did he sound like? It was quite a pleasant sort of 566 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,440 chat. Would you recognise his voice 567 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,600 again? Well, I don't know about that. 568 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:00,280 All right, Charlie, See what that is? 569 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:05,480 Very good, Sir. Good evening. 570 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,720 Could we see Mr Temple, please? Well, could you tell Mister 571 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,120 Temple that Missus Desmond and Terry Palmer would like a word? 572 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,640 Very good, Missus Desmond. I put the doll behind that 573 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:15,400 cushion. Yes, dear. 574 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:17,800 Oh, come in, Missus Desmond. Thank you. 575 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:19,920 Hello, Palmer. Hello, I hope we're not 576 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,040 interrupting your dinner. Oh Lord no, we finished ages 577 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:23,520 ago. All right, Charlie. 578 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,800 OK, Missus D. You look very worried, Palmer. 579 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,480 Has anything happened? Haven't you seen the evening 580 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:29,520 paper? No. 581 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,760 Queen Edwards is dead. She's been murdered. 582 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:33,280 Look. Oh. 583 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,920 Yeah, yes, I knew about this. What does it say in the paper 584 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,680 ball? And simply says that she was 585 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,360 beaten up and died as a result of her injuries. 586 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,440 It also points out, not without significance, that she was a 587 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,240 friend of Miss Millicent's Mr Temple. 588 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,760 Do you think Queenie Edwards was murdered? 589 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,080 Millie's got into a head that Queen Edward was murdered 590 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,120 because she knew why Miss Millicent and the baby were 591 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,040 kidnapped. Always assuming, of course, that 592 00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,240 Miss Millicent and the baby were kidnapped. 593 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,960 What do you mean? What other explanation could 594 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,040 there be? Well, let's take a look at the 595 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:08,360 facts of this case. Just over a week ago, you and Mr 596 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,080 Palmer had dinner at the Commodore Club. 597 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,040 You left your baby in the care of a sitter in a Miss Millicent. 598 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,160 When you return to your flat, both the baby and the sitter in 599 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,240 had disappeared, right? Yes. 600 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,200 There was a note in Miss Millicent's handwriting saying 601 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,920 that a Mr Van Dyke had telephone but had left no message. 602 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,680 Now, neither you or Mr Palmer had heard of anyone called Van 603 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:29,400 Dyke. We hadn't. 604 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,600 Now Miss Medicine shared a house with a girl called Queenie 605 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,920 Edwards. Last night I had a phone call 606 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,040 from Queenie Edwards, from Marlow, asking me to meet her at 607 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:40,840 Paddington Station. You had a call? 608 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,120 She said she had a very important message for me about 609 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,840 Miss Medicine, adding as an afterthought that if by any 610 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,560 chance I missed her, she posted me a letter. 611 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,000 Well, I did miss her. As you know, she was beaten up 612 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,840 and received injuries from which she died. 613 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,800 And the letter? The letter turned out to be a 614 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,120 cloak room ticket. Cloakroom ticket. 615 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,760 What for? For the cloakroom at the 616 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,600 Commodore Club. I took the ticket along this 617 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,200 evening, and in return they handed me an attache case. 618 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,560 Would you like to see what was in that case? 619 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,360 Palmer? Yes, I would lift that cushion. 620 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:18,880 Steve Terry, Look. It's the doll. 621 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,560 It's Susan's doll, but. Where on earth did you get? 622 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,880 It I've told you it was in the attache case at the Commodore. 623 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,880 Yes, but who left it there? Don't you know, Palmer? 624 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,000 What do you mean? What the devil are you getting 625 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,400 at? Didn't you leave the doll there 626 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,400 in this Natasha case 2 days ago? I most certainly did not. 627 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,200 Mary, you don't believe that? I Of course not, Mr Temple. 628 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:39,560 What on earth gave you such an idea? 629 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,800 The cloakroom attendant told me that Mister Palmer left the case 630 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,720 a couple of days ago. But that's absolute nonsense. 631 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,320 Then did you leave any other case at the Commodore? 632 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,120 No, I didn't. I haven't been in the other 633 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:47,760 club. Not since. 634 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,480 Not since that night. That's the truth, isn't it, 635 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,000 Mary? Yes, I see. 636 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,120 May I take the dog? Please. 637 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,200 Well, I'm afraid I shall have to hand it over to the Inspector, 638 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,640 Missus Desmond. Just for a moment, please all. 639 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,680 Right. Is it the same doll? 640 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,320 Yes, it's the same doll all. Right. 641 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,840 I can tell by the skirt. No, Terry. 642 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,600 Merry dying. Don't temple. 643 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,000 What's behind all this? If what you've told us is true, 644 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,320 then someone must have deliberately taken the doll from 645 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,800 the child, put it in the attache case and left it in the 646 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:25,880 Commodore. Exactly. 647 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:27,640 But why? For heaven's sake? 648 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:28,520 Why? I don't know. 649 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,800 Why not yet. Palmer. 650 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,560 Oh, hello, Sir Graham. Sorry if I've got you out of 651 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:47,880 bed. Out of bed, we've been up for 652 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:52,000 hours. Morning, Sir Graham, have you 653 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:53,480 had breakfast? Yes, thanks. 654 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:54,080 Oh. Good. 655 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,080 Charlie's out and I'm packing. We're going away for the 656 00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,120 weekend. As a matter of fact, we're going 657 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,760 down to Marlow. Oh, that's not a bad idea. 658 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,040 That's what I thought. Are you staying at the 659 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:05,080 Wordsworth? Yes. 660 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,240 Eden's got one of his men down there. 661 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,120 He'll probably look you up. Oh good sit downs again. 662 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:16,240 Oh, thank you. Well, we've, we've checked the 663 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,680 doll. It's a perfectly ordinary doll. 664 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,840 Nothing unusual about it. What about the Itasha case? 665 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,840 I'm afraid it doesn't tell us a great deal either. 666 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,480 There were two sets of prints. One was yours. 667 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,280 The other belonged to Bert Walters, the cloakroom 668 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,000 attendant. He now says he's not absolutely 669 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,480 sure that it was Palmer who left the case. 670 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,560 Do you still think it was? I don't know. 671 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,880 Well, if it was, how did Queen Edwards get hold of a cloakroom 672 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,120 ticket? That's what I'd like to know. 673 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:48,080 What's more to the point, why did she get hold of it and why 674 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,360 did she take the trouble to send it to me? 675 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,960 Well, I think the answer to that's pretty obvious, Temple. 676 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,080 She wanted you to know that Palmer's mixed up in this 677 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,040 business, that he's probably responsible for the kidnapping 678 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:00,120 of Miss Millicent of the. Baby. 679 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:01,720 Then why did he leave the doll at the Commodore? 680 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,280 Why not destroy it or throw it away? 681 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,320 Well, no, Sir Graham. Whoever left that doll in the 682 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,080 cloakroom did so because they've been given instructions to do 683 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:10,600 so. I'm not so sure about that 684 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,199 temple. Well, we'll see. 685 00:34:14,639 --> 00:34:16,639 Tell me, did you find out why Queenie Edwards went down to 686 00:34:16,639 --> 00:34:18,600 Marlow? No, we didn't. 687 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,679 Eden thinks that she went down to Seamus Millicent. 688 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,719 He thinks they were in league with one another. 689 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:25,560 Just exactly what they were in league about. 690 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,360 Seems to have escaped him. That's an interesting theory. 691 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,800 No, no, no, don't get. Up So, Graham, you say that 692 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:32,760 Inspector Eden's got one of his men down at Marlow? 693 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,560 Yes, Sergeant Digby is a bright, you'll like him, Temple. 694 00:34:36,159 --> 00:34:37,840 He's staying at the Wordsworth Hotel. 695 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,440 Has he discovered anything? Yes, he has. 696 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,520 When Queenie Edwards arrived at Marlow, she went straight to the 697 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,920 Wordsworth. She made the telephone call from 698 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,199 there to about 9:15. Well, that must have been the 699 00:34:47,199 --> 00:34:49,880 one to ask for, yes? Well, I hope you both have a 700 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:51,120 pleasant weekend. Thank. 701 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,960 You it's a delightful spot. Yes, I like it. 702 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,440 I've always liked it. I like that stretch of the 703 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:01,240 river. Yes, it's it's so peaceful down 704 00:35:01,240 --> 00:35:03,160 there. Let's hope it stays that way. 705 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:25,270 It's a grab. Come in. 706 00:35:26,590 --> 00:35:29,310 Oh, excuse me, Mr Temple. Yes. 707 00:35:29,870 --> 00:35:32,470 My name is Digby, Sir. I had a message through from the 708 00:35:32,470 --> 00:35:34,030 yard that you and misses. Oh, yes, of course. 709 00:35:34,030 --> 00:35:35,310 Come in, Sergeant. Thank you. 710 00:35:35,750 --> 00:35:37,590 May I introduce my wife, Sergeant Digby? 711 00:35:37,630 --> 00:35:40,110 How'd you do, missus Sergeant? I thought I'd just let you know 712 00:35:40,110 --> 00:35:42,230 that I'm staying here under the name of Baker, Sir. 713 00:35:42,230 --> 00:35:44,910 Baker. Yes, in room 26, Room 26. 714 00:35:44,990 --> 00:35:47,230 If there's anything I can do for you, just let me know. 715 00:35:47,230 --> 00:35:50,160 Oh, thank you, Sergeant. Tell me, how long are you 716 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,040 staying down here? Well, I didn't end going back to 717 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,240 town this afternoon, Sir. But, well, as a matter of fact, 718 00:35:56,240 --> 00:35:57,840 Mr Temple, I think I'm on to something. 719 00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:58,640 Really. Yes. 720 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,160 You see, when Queenie Edwards came down here to Marlow, I 721 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,520 mean, she made a beeline for this hotel. 722 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,640 That was about 4:15. She ordered tea and she sat in 723 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:11,760 the lounge until about 6:30. Now, I've had a talk to one of 724 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,600 the waiters, a reliable old chap, and he said it was obvious 725 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,280 that Queenie Edwards was waiting for someone who never turned up. 726 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,800 Go on. Well, she hung about the hotel 727 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,920 until about 9:15. Then she made a telephone call 728 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,760 and caught the 928. Back to town, I see. 729 00:36:26,240 --> 00:36:29,000 And you don't happen to know who she was expecting, Sergeant? 730 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:30,720 No, but I've got a pretty good hunch. 731 00:36:30,720 --> 00:36:31,840 Missus Temple. Oh, really? 732 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:37,000 Do you by any chance know a rather flamboyant individual 733 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,000 called Shelley's? Huh. 734 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:39,880 Shelley. Yes. 735 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,040 He he runs a mother's Help Bureau at Hampstead. 736 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,000 Miss Minnison was on his books. Yeah, that's the man we've never 737 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:46,160 met, but I know who you mean. Go on. 738 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,920 Well, Roger Shelley has a bungalow near here, Has he? 739 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,920 Indy as it's over on the far side of the river between Marlow 740 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:53,840 and Maidenhead. Very interesting. 741 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,760 He's supposed to use the place for weekends, but so far as I 742 00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,920 can gather, he spends a great deal more time down here than he 743 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,680 does in town. Anyway, to cut a long story, you 744 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,400 think that Queenie Edwards came down here to see Shelley? 745 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,920 Yes, Sir, I do. Well, that bungalow. 746 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:09,960 Certainly a strange coincidence, isn't it? 747 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:12,000 You're surely down here at the moment. 748 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,080 Yes, as a matter of fact, that's why I'm staying on. 749 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,440 What do you mean? Well, I bumped into him last 750 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,560 night here in the hotel bar. We started talking about the 751 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,280 weather and cars. You know how it is. 752 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,320 Suddenly I forget how the conversation started. 753 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,160 He he mentioned this card game Canasta. 754 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:29,920 He said he was anxious to learn it. 755 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:34,080 Well, I'm going to teach him. He's invited me out to his 756 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,360 bungalow. I'm expected for dinner at 8:00. 757 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,560 Smart work, Digby. It's a small point, Sergeant, 758 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:44,120 but can you play Canasta? I can't even play gin rummy, Mrs 759 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,840 Denver. What are you going to do? 760 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,160 I'll get by all right. I certainly ought to. 761 00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,320 I've been reading about the confounded games in 6:00 this 762 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,160 morning. Anyway, I don't. 763 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,560 Intend to spend the entire evening playing cards with Mr 764 00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,000 Shelley. I'm rather interested to get Mr 765 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,320 Shelley's views on the Desmond case, Provided you'll talk about 766 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:02,840 it. Oh, he'll talk all right. 767 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,640 It's not the reticent time. What time do you expect to be 768 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,960 back? Oh, about 11. 769 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:09,840 Certainly. No later. 770 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,600 I'll drop in on you if you like. Tell you how I've got on. 771 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:13,880 Yes. I wish you weren't very good, 772 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,720 Sir. Sergeant, tell me, what exactly 773 00:38:16,720 --> 00:38:18,520 do you hope to get out of Mr Shelley? 774 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,320 Wow. Just between ourselves, Mrs 775 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:42,960 Temple promotion. Paul, you're awake. 776 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,240 Yes, of course I'm awake. What time is it? 777 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:52,400 It's just gone. 1:30 it's. Very odd about Digby, isn't it? 778 00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,440 I wonder why he didn't call? I don't know. 779 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,320 Look, I'm going round to his room. 780 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,040 What number did he say it was 26? 781 00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,720 Yes #26. What are you doing? 782 00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,040 What do you think I'm doing? I'm coming with you, of course. 783 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:25,080 He's not back yet. Well, let's go in. 784 00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,800 But he can't have come back yet. Bed hasn't been slept in. 785 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,880 Well, he ought to be back by now, surely it's after 1:30. 786 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,320 How long would it take him to get to the bungalow? 787 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:39,760 I'm not quite sure where it is of. 788 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,280 Course it's possible, I suppose, that he was. 789 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:47,200 What is it, Steve? Is that the bathroom over there? 790 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,080 Well, I should imagine so. Why? 791 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:51,840 What is it? Oh. 792 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,000 Nothing, I'm just imagining things. 793 00:39:55,240 --> 00:39:56,560 Imagining what? Well. 794 00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,760 I thought I heard someone in the bathroom. 795 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:11,240 Well, we'll soon find out. He says what's happened to him. 796 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,200 Digby. Digby. 797 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,720 What happened? Temple? 798 00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:20,920 Listen not Take it easy. Take it easy. 799 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:28,280 What is it? Digby, Mr Van Dyke? 800 00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:32,920 Yes. Tried to. 801 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:48,320 I'm afraid he's dead, Steve. Come on, dear. 802 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:59,460 Let's go back to our world. Paul, what are you going to do? 803 00:41:00,100 --> 00:41:01,900 I only hope there's somebody on at this time of night. 804 00:41:05,060 --> 00:41:09,080 Hello. Who is that? 805 00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,640 This is the manager, McCall. The night port is off duty. 806 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:13,720 Can I do anything? For you, yes. 807 00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,680 I want a call to London, please. It's very urgent. 808 00:41:15,720 --> 00:41:17,880 OK, I'll put you through to the. Exchange just a minute. 809 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:19,360 Did you say it was the manager speaking? 810 00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:20,640 Yeah. That's right, Bill McCall. 811 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,400 Well, Mr McCall, when I finish this conversation, would you 812 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,000 come up to room 26, please? Oh. 813 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,160 Yeah, yeah. Surely I'm putting you through 814 00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:27,800 now. Thank you. 815 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:34,360 Number please. I want London Langham 54 O1. 816 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,040 It's very urgent, Langham. 54 O1. 817 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:38,880 Please. Hold the line. 818 00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:39,600 Please. All right. 819 00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,840 We're phoning Paul. Inspector Eden, I want him to 820 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:44,920 know about Digby before I tell the local people. 821 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,400 There's just a chance that Eden might not want me to get in 822 00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,680 touch with the local police. It's ringing now. 823 00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,520 Hello. Is that your inspector? 824 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:56,800 Yes. Who is it? 825 00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:00,960 This is Temple, Paul Temple. This is a fine time to ring up 826 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,280 Eden. Listen, I'm at Marlow at the 827 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,120 Wordsworth Hotel. Digby's been murdered. 828 00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,080 What? Digby's been murdered. 829 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,160 And I want to know if you'd like me to tell the local people, can 830 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,600 Digby have been murdered? We found him in his room only 5 831 00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:15,480 minutes ago. Temple. 832 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,120 Listen, Digby left Marla this morning. 833 00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,280 He called the 8:32. I saw him at the yard at 11:00 834 00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,400 and I was with him until 7:15 this evening. 835 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:27,240 You were with Digby until 7:15 this evening? 836 00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:28,440 But that's impossible. Well. 837 00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:29,360 What's happened? What is it? 838 00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:33,160 Inspector, what does Digby look like? 839 00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,920 Oh, he's about 6 foot rather on the thin side. 840 00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,800 Small moustache. Heavens, you're right, 841 00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:40,400 Inspector. We've been taken in with. 842 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,920 Who the devil is this man? I don't know, but he certainly 843 00:42:45,920 --> 00:43:09,680 isn't Sergeant Digby. Would you like a cereal, Madam 844 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,840 or grapefruit? No, nothing. 845 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:12,920 Thank you. Oh, Steve, you've got to eat 846 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,160 something. I don't feel like eating here. 847 00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:17,200 Oh, all right, righty. Thank you, Sir. 848 00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,040 You'll feel awfully weak if you don't have any. 849 00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:24,600 Breakfast, darling. Please, Paul I I just can't make 850 00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:28,440 head a tail of it if that man wasn't Sergeant. 851 00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,000 There are no ifs about it. Steve. 852 00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:31,920 The inspector seen him. It wasn't Digby. 853 00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,520 Why in heaven's name did he pretend that he was? 854 00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:37,400 I don't know. All I know is he certainly got 855 00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:38,800 away with it. I never suspected him. 856 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,840 Well, who? Would Let's talk about Queenie 857 00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:45,000 Edwards and Roger Shelley. Steve, that's extraordinary part 858 00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:46,800 about it. I think that was true. 859 00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:49,320 I think he really did have a date with Shelley. 860 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,040 If he had a date with him, why? Come in. 861 00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,600 Excuse me, Inspector Eden would like to see you. 862 00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:57,400 Mr Temple. He's downstairs in the hall. 863 00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:00,040 No, thank you. May I have a word with you 864 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:01,720 please? Oh yes, of course. 865 00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:03,720 The inspector's been asking me a lot of questions. 866 00:44:03,720 --> 00:44:05,600 Well, it's his job to ask questions, Mr McCall. 867 00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:06,800 I shouldn't get worried about that. 868 00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,200 Yes, I know, but he seems kind of suspicious. 869 00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:11,960 But one thing I don't think he believed was my story. 870 00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:13,960 What story? Well, I mean about what happened 871 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,200 last night. What did happen last night, so 872 00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,080 far as you're concerned? You're not suspicious. 873 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:19,560 No, no, no. I just want to get things 874 00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:21,880 straightened out. Well, the night Porter had got a 875 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:23,880 pretty rotten cold and I told him to pack it in. 876 00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:26,640 I stayed on duty myself until about 1:30. 877 00:44:27,240 --> 00:44:29,280 I was just about to hit the hay when you telephoned down and put 878 00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,520 the call through the tongue. You know what happened after 879 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:33,560 that? Did you see Sergeant Digby, or 880 00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,000 rather Mr. Baker at all? No. 881 00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,760 Well, I did see him about 7:30 just before he went out. 882 00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,800 I didn't see him after that. In other words, you didn't see 883 00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,360 him come back from Mr Shelley's. No, you knew you had an 884 00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:45,280 appointment with Shelley. Well. 885 00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,640 Sure, I was in the bar on Friday night when Baker introduced 886 00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:51,360 himself. Is Shelley one of your regulars? 887 00:44:51,720 --> 00:44:53,320 He's in and out pretty regular I guess. 888 00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,240 What about Baker? He's a stranger. 889 00:44:55,240 --> 00:44:58,560 I've never seen him before. Well, I shouldn't let the 890 00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,520 Inspector Ratley or Mr McCall his box worse than his bite. 891 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,120 He doesn't rattle me. I just wondered what was at the 892 00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:09,480 back of his mind, that's all. Oh, there you are, Temple. 893 00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,400 I've got Shelly here. Sergeant Bell picked him up at 894 00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:14,720 the bungalow about 1/4 of an hour ago. 895 00:45:14,720 --> 00:45:15,800 Oh, good. Where is he? 896 00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:17,000 In the manager's office. Yes. 897 00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,360 Oh, by the way, I've just had a call through from the yard. 898 00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:22,600 They've checked the address that our friend Baker put in the 899 00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:25,040 register. It's as phoney as his name. 900 00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:27,160 It doesn't exist. And I wonder who the devil he 901 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:28,720 was inspected. I wish I knew. 902 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,320 We've been through these things with a fine tooth comb. 903 00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,120 Didn't you find anything? Nothing of importance, I'm 904 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:33,680 afraid. Oh. 905 00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:35,840 What was this? What is it? 906 00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:37,440 What's the receipt for a pair of gloves. 907 00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:41,560 They were bought in Paris. I see. 908 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:42,720 Yes. You see the date? 909 00:45:42,720 --> 00:45:44,480 The 26th. It was four days ago. 910 00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:49,560 Yes. Charles Marie, 173 rue Salazar, 911 00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:54,680 Paris. 2750 francs. And it's about two Guineas. 912 00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,080 Yes. Wasn't there anything else on 913 00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:58,200 him? And your wallet? 914 00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,480 Yes. With 22 lbs in it in 1 LB notes. 915 00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:05,800 No papers, no nothing. Well, let's see what Mr 916 00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:07,040 Shelley's got to say for himself. 917 00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,360 By the way, does he know about the murder? 918 00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,320 No, not yet. Good. 919 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:18,280 My dear Sergeant, it's not a bit of use telling me that this is 920 00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:21,880 simply a routine measure because quite frankly, I don't believe a 921 00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,040 word you say. No. 922 00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,600 Here's the inspector, Sir. He'll answer your questions. 923 00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,120 All right, Sergeant, you can go. Thank you, Sir. 924 00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:32,040 Mr Shelley, are you Inspector Eden? 925 00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,000 I am, Sir. And this is Mr Temple. 926 00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:35,560 Paul Temple. Yes. 927 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:40,360 Well, what is it you want? I have reason to believe that 928 00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:42,200 you entertained a friend to dinner last night. 929 00:46:42,240 --> 00:46:43,640 I did. Is that a crime? 930 00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,360 What time did your guest arrive? Oh, about 7:30. 931 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:49,480 And leave. She left about 9:45. 932 00:46:50,240 --> 00:46:53,840 She. Yes, we were under the 933 00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:55,720 impression that you entertained a Mr. Baker. 934 00:46:55,720 --> 00:46:58,000 Well, for some obscure reason, Baker couldn't make it. 935 00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:01,120 It was infuriating. Who did you entertain last night 936 00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:02,480 if you didn't entertain Mr. Baker? 937 00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:03,960 Entertains. Hardly the word. 938 00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:05,880 I never spent such a dreary evening. 939 00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:09,800 Oh, it was dire. Well, I'll tell you exactly what 940 00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:11,920 happened. On Friday night I dropped in 941 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,560 here for a drink and I bumped into a fellow called Baker. 942 00:47:14,720 --> 00:47:17,800 He was a terrific line shooter. Anyway, to cut a Long story 943 00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:20,800 short, he said he was an absolute wizard at Canasta and 944 00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:22,920 he promised to teach me the beastly game. 945 00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,160 Go on. Well, I invited him to dinner. 946 00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:29,560 I also invited a friend of mine, an artist called Marion Faber. 947 00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:31,640 She has a cottage near Bourne End. 948 00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:35,080 Go on. Well, Marion turned up, and I 949 00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:39,560 might add in the most frightful mood, and then it's about 1/4 to 950 00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:42,240 wait this wretched fellow Baker telephone and said that he 951 00:47:42,240 --> 00:47:44,680 couldn't make it. Did he say why he couldn't make 952 00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:45,560 it? No, he didn't. 953 00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:47,880 Go on. What you mean go? 954 00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:49,000 On. There's nothing else to go on 955 00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:52,840 about. Mr Shelley, I understand that 956 00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:54,720 you run a sort of registry office. 957 00:47:56,440 --> 00:48:00,880 I run a mother's health Bureau. We provide citizen nursemaids, 958 00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:04,200 ladies, companions. It's quite different from the 959 00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:05,920 registry office. This is here. 960 00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:10,200 I'm sorry, had you a Miss Millicent on your books? 961 00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:11,800 Yes, Miss Millicent was on my books. 962 00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:13,960 But for your information, I didn't send it to Missus 963 00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:15,720 Desmond. I'd never heard of Missus 964 00:48:15,720 --> 00:48:17,960 Desmond until I read about you in the newspapers. 965 00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:19,520 Did you like? Miss Millicent. 966 00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,320 What do you mean? Like she was a very nice person, 967 00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,040 if that's what you mean. Mr Shelley, tell me, did anyone 968 00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:27,360 else telephone you last night besides Mr. Baker? 969 00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,080 No. No, not that I know of. 970 00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:30,960 Oh, by the way, is Baker still staying here? 971 00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:33,760 Because if he is, Baker's dead. He's been murdered. 972 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:39,360 What do you mean murdered? Mr Temple means that he was 973 00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:40,880 murdered. When? 974 00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:44,000 Last night, his face was slashed with a razor. 975 00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:49,480 How ghastly. Tell me, was that the first time 976 00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:51,280 you'd seen Baker on Friday night? 977 00:48:51,720 --> 00:48:54,280 What? Yes. 978 00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:55,640 Yes. You've never seen him before? 979 00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:57,080 No, never. He was a complete stranger. 980 00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:00,320 Absolutely. I say, look here, Temple. 981 00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:03,520 I don't want to be tiresome, but do you think I could have a 982 00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:05,720 little drink? Yes. 983 00:49:05,720 --> 00:49:10,400 I'll ring for the waiter. I'd I'd like a Brandy, a double 984 00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:33,990 Brandy. Paul, do you think Shelley was 985 00:49:33,990 --> 00:49:37,630 telling the truth? About Baker, Yes, well, if you 986 00:49:37,630 --> 00:49:40,550 don't believe Shelley's story, Baker was lying, and so was 987 00:49:40,550 --> 00:49:42,310 McCall. How do you mean? 988 00:49:42,510 --> 00:49:44,990 Well, McCall said he was in the bar on Friday night when Baker 989 00:49:44,990 --> 00:49:47,830 introduced himself to Shelley. Yes, before all we know there 990 00:49:47,830 --> 00:49:49,710 may have been a put up job. Put up job. 991 00:49:50,150 --> 00:49:52,950 Yes. Suppose Baker, Oregon, whatever 992 00:49:52,950 --> 00:49:55,510 his name is, was told to contact Shelley. 993 00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:59,840 He came down to Marlow and arranged accidentally to to bump 994 00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:01,240 into Shelley in the cocktail bar. 995 00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:05,040 But naturally, if McCall was there, he'd be convinced that 996 00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:06,920 Baker and Shelley were meeting for the first time. 997 00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:10,640 Yes. Now, if Baker did go out to 998 00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:13,200 Shelley, if Shelley was lying when he. 999 00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:15,960 Said Shelley wasn't lying. Darling Eden checked up with 1000 00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:17,680 that girlfriend of his, Marian Faber. 1001 00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:20,000 She said that she was there when Baker telephoned. 1002 00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,640 Oh darling, she may be lying. They can't all be lying. 1003 00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:29,200 The Windscreen by Timothy. What happened? 1004 00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:31,200 What was it? I'll give you 3 guesses. 1005 00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:33,560 What do you mean? It was a bullet. 1006 00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:57,600 Shall I send Charlie down for the case? 1007 00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:59,960 No, I'll carry it. You'll take that box. 1008 00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,520 Oh poor there's Teddy Power and Missus Desmond. 1009 00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:05,520 Where getting out of that car, Yes. 1010 00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:09,680 She looks excited. Poor There's a baby in the car. 1011 00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:12,400 Mr Temple. We were just coming to see you. 1012 00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:13,360 Oh. Hello, Missus Desmond. 1013 00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:16,680 Got some wonderful news. Susan's bed. 1014 00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:19,440 She's all right, perfectly all right that. 1015 00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:22,520 Is good news what happened? Terry and I went for a drive 1016 00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:24,480 this morning. It was just after breakfast. 1017 00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:27,120 We drove as far as Richmond and then I can't believe it. 1018 00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:28,520 Missus Desmond, please, What happened? 1019 00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:33,800 When we got back to the flat Susan will Bear, she was on the 1020 00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,160 rug in front of the fire, fast asleep. 1021 00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:39,280 I just couldn't believe it. I'm so glad Missus Desmond. 1022 00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:41,720 Go back to the calm area, I'll talk to Mr Temple. 1023 00:51:41,720 --> 00:51:43,120 Yes. All right, Terry. 1024 00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:45,520 Hello. What's happened to your 1025 00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:47,600 windscreen? Oh, we've had an accident. 1026 00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:50,280 Is this true, Palmer? About the baby? 1027 00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:52,400 Yes. It's extraordinary Temple. 1028 00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:54,800 I just don't understand it. We went out for a drive. 1029 00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,240 When we got back to the flat, well, there she was. 1030 00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:58,560 Is the child all right? Perfectly. 1031 00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:00,000 All right. There was no sign of Miss 1032 00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:01,400 Millicent, I take it? No. 1033 00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:04,000 But I'm sure she must be mixed up in this temple. 1034 00:52:04,240 --> 00:52:06,280 Why? But if you know what's happened, 1035 00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:08,240 I think she must have taken the child away. 1036 00:52:08,240 --> 00:52:09,560 And then? Well. 1037 00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:11,360 Changed her mind. Exactly. 1038 00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:14,640 Look, Temple, I'm taking Mary and the baby down to Eastbourne 1039 00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:16,280 a few days. If she stays in town, the 1040 00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:19,080 reporter will be on a doorstep night and day, and frankly, 1041 00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:20,560 she's not up to it. Have you told the police? 1042 00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:22,960 Well, I found the yard, but unfortunately, both Sir Graham 1043 00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:25,280 and Inspector were out. I left a message. 1044 00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:28,080 Oh, here's an address at Eastbourne in case they want to 1045 00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:29,600 get in touch. All right, Palmer, I'll see you 1046 00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:30,400 too. Oh, thanks. 1047 00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:31,840 It's awfully kind of. No, no, it's all right. 1048 00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:34,400 Goodbye, Mr Palmer. Oh, goodbye Missus Temple. 1049 00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:42,760 Here's the case, Johnny. OK, I'll take. 1050 00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:44,240 It put it in the bedroom will. You. 1051 00:52:44,240 --> 00:52:45,720 Yes, Sir. What about the car? 1052 00:52:45,720 --> 00:52:47,000 Oh, leave the car for the moment, Johnny. 1053 00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:51,600 OK, Sir. Steve, you dropped your glove. 1054 00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:55,200 It was on the pavement. Oh, is that this isn't my glove 1055 00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:56,880 pool it? Was on the curb near the car. 1056 00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:58,600 Oh, Missus Desmond must have dropped it do. 1057 00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,440 You know where she's staying. Yes, give it to me, I'll post it 1058 00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:03,960 on track. Yeah, I thought Missus Desmond 1059 00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:07,240 looked as if she was heading for a nervous breakdown. 1060 00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:11,680 What are you looking at? This glove, there's a tab 1061 00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:14,840 inside. Do you see where it was bought? 1062 00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:21,400 Look. Charles Marie, 173 Ruiz and 1063 00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:38,790 Lazar, Paris.

Tomorrow the mystery of Digby 1073 00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:25,760 deepens with the call from a strange gentleman trying to 1074 00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:28,120 sound British. And what about Missus Desmond's 1075 00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:30,200 gloves? They lead to a rendezvous with 1076 00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:33,680 the mysterious Mr Palmer.

The one that was on the receipt. 1084 00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:31,040 Yes, and that receipt was for a pair of gloves. 1085 00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:34,880 Exactly. Supposing that man the one who 1086 00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:36,960 was murdered at Marlow? Call him Baker. 1087 00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:40,880 All right, well, supposing Baker was murdered because he refused 1088 00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:44,040 to to. No. 1089 00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:49,040 No, that doesn't make sense. Excuse me, Sir, There was a 1090 00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:51,160 phone call for you this morning from a Mr Droste. 1091 00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:53,680 He wants you to ring him back.

Mr Temple's on the line, Sir. 1105 00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:48,720 Oh. Mr Temple? 1106 00:56:48,720 --> 00:56:51,040 Yes. Trusty here. 1107 00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:53,800 How very nice of you to ring. I understand you telephoned me 1108 00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:55,080 this morning. That's quite right. 1109 00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:57,160 I did. Your man told me that you were 1110 00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:59,120 out of town. I trust you had a pleasant 1111 00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:01,280 weekend? Well, the weather was 1112 00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:04,280 delightful. I'm so glad, Mr Temple. 1113 00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:07,240 I want to talk to you about a mutual friend. 1114 00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:08,920 A mutual friend? Yes. 1115 00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:10,920 Walters. Walters. 1116 00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:12,760 I I don't think I know anyone called. 1117 00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:15,960 Walters. Perhaps friend was hardly the 1118 00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:18,800 right word. You met two or three days ago. 1119 00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:21,520 He's the cloak room attendant at the Commodore Club. 1120 00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:25,960 Oh, could you pop in one evening, Mr Temple? 1121 00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:29,240 We would have a drink together. Which particular evening are you 1122 00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:31,680 in mind? Well, that's up to you, old man. 1123 00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:35,120 I'm always here. But why not tonight? 1124 00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:37,920 All right. Shall we say 8? 1125 00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:39,480 O'clock. Yes, that'll do nicely. 1126 00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:44,520 It's 47-B Park Lane. It's the top flat, 8 o'clock 1127 00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:47,920 8:00 Old man a Cheerio. A Cheerio. 1128 00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:52,640 Well, who is Mr? Drosty, your guess is as good as 1129 00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:54,200 mine. I should think he's South 1130 00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:56,520 American, but he seems determined to be more English 1131 00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:58,760 than the English. He kept calling me old man. 1132 00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:00,480 What does he? Want. 1133 00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:02,800 And apparently he wants to talk to me about the cloakroom 1134 00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:05,280 attendant at the Commodore Club. Don't be. 1135 00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:08,960 Silly, that's what he said. So Graham Forbes is he? 1136 00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:10,840 Oh, come in. See Graham. 1137 00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:15,280 You're just the man I want. So Graham, tell me, do you know 1138 00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:17,080 a man called Drosty? What? 1139 00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:21,160 Philip Drosty? Yes, Yes, he owns the Commodore 1140 00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:22,320 Club. Does he? 1141 00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:24,880 That's interesting. What's he like? 1142 00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:27,680 Well, you hear such extraordinary stories about 1143 00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:30,760 Drastier. He's got a flat in Park Lane, or 1144 00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:32,520 rather, a penthouse. Yes, I gather that. 1145 00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:35,760 They say he never leaves it from one weekend to the next. 1146 00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:38,760 You will certainly never see him about the West End. 1147 00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:40,520 Doesn't he ever go to the Commodore Club? 1148 00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:42,680 What happens now? You wouldn't get him without a 1149 00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:45,960 mile of the place. He's a very shrewd bird, is 1150 00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:48,400 drastier. Before the war, he owned the 1151 00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:53,120 Playbox tub, the Palazzo Hotel and two or three dance halls. 1152 00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:56,880 I don't know if there's any truth in it, but they say he's 1153 00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:57,960 worth about 3 million. Oh. 1154 00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:01,480 Is he straight? Well, we've never had any 1155 00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:02,960 trouble with him, if that's what you mean. 1156 00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:06,040 But why are you interested in rotting? 1157 00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:08,840 Apparently he wants to see me. He phoned through while we were 1158 00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:10,520 at Marlow but I spoke to him just now. 1159 00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:13,640 I see. Well, I suppose you've you've 1160 00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:15,400 heard about the Desmond baby. Yes. 1161 00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:19,160 What do you make of it? Well, there's a perfectly simple 1162 00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:21,600 explanation, I suppose, if one's prepared to accept it. 1163 00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:22,200 What's? That. 1164 00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:25,560 Miss Millicent kidnapped the child, then thought better of 1165 00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:28,400 it, or probably got frightened when she read the newspaper. 1166 00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:31,240 Is that what you think? No. 1167 00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:37,480 I thought not Temple. I'm I'm worried about this case. 1168 00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:41,440 He's a good man, but he doesn't seem to be making any headway. 1169 00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:43,640 You can't expect him to make any headway, Sir Graham, not until 1170 00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:44,920 he really knows what it's all about. 1171 00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:48,400 What do you mean? Well, who this Mr Van Dyke is 1172 00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:51,200 and what his racket is. Frankly, I don't think Van Dyke 1173 00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:52,280 hasn't a racket. Really. 1174 00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:55,160 This isn't like the Gregory FL or the Curzon case. 1175 00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:59,640 I think it simply boils down to the fact that we're up against 1176 00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:01,800 the criminal limited. No, I don't agree, Sir Graham. 1177 01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:05,160 Why take this fellow down at Marlow who was murdered? 1178 01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:08,320 Someone sent him down there for a particular reason. 1179 01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:11,400 Incidentally, you remember the receipt that even found on 1180 01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:14,600 Digby, or rather Baker? Yes, I've already been in touch 1181 01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:17,800 with the French people about it. The address on the receipt is 1182 01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:19,560 genuine. It's a small shop. 1183 01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:23,960 They sell gloves, handbags, you know, the sort of shop. 1184 01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:26,600 Paris is full of them. Yes, I'd rather gather the 1185 01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:29,040 address was genuine. Take a look at this glove. 1186 01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:32,400 Where did you get it? Missus Desmond dropped it. 1187 01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:34,120 Missus Desmond? Yes. 1188 01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:36,400 When? About 10 minutes ago. 1189 01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:42,200 But why on earth should missus des, you know, temple this 1190 01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:43,520 business just doesn't make? Sense. 1191 01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:45,000 No. It makes sense all right, but 1192 01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:48,040 not to us. So, Graham, tell me, what are 1193 01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:49,960 the chances of finding out who that man was? 1194 01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:52,080 The man who was murdered. Well, we've given the story to 1195 01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:54,040 the press. There'll be a detailed 1196 01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:55,760 description of him in the evening papers. 1197 01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:57,680 It's all right. I'll answer. 1198 01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:00,080 Paul. Hello. 1199 01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:03,880 Hello. Who is that? 1200 01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:06,080 Is that you, Mrs Temple? Yes. 1201 01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:09,040 This is Terry Palmer here. Can I have a word with your 1202 01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:11,240 husband? Yes, I think so. 1203 01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:14,000 Oh, thanks awfully. It's Terry Palmer he wants a 1204 01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:14,560 word with. You. 1205 01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:16,360 It's interesting. I wonder if it's about the 1206 01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:19,000 glove. Hello, Palmer. 1207 01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:21,720 Oh, sorry to bother you, Temple, but I thought you were on your 1208 01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:23,320 way to Eastbourne. Well, we are actually. 1209 01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:26,640 I'm in a call box at the moment. Well, what can I do for you? 1210 01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:30,640 Well, do you happen to know if Mary, Mrs Desmond dropped one of 1211 01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:32,360 her gloves while she was outside your flash? 1212 01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:33,440 Yes, she did. I got it here. 1213 01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:34,640 I was going to post it on to you. 1214 01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:36,880 Oh, thank goodness she was in a state about it. 1215 01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:39,400 You'll post it on then? Yes, of course. 1216 01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:42,320 How is Mrs Desmond? Well, she's still a bit upset, 1217 01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:43,120 I'm afraid. Really. 1218 01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:44,480 Yes. It's funny. 1219 01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:46,640 You'd have thought that now Susan's safe, she'd be perfectly 1220 01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:49,120 all right. I suppose it's reaction. 1221 01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:52,480 Yes, How is the baby? Oh, Susan's all right. 1222 01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:54,000 She's crying rather a loud. But. 1223 01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:58,280 Oh, by the way, I promised Mary I'd speak to you about the doll. 1224 01:01:58,280 --> 01:02:00,840 Do you remember the one you found in the Natasha case? 1225 01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:02,720 Yes, of course I remember that doll. 1226 01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:05,000 Well, do you think there's any chance of getting it back? 1227 01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,400 Susan's devoted, that doll. You know what kitties are. 1228 01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:11,080 You buy them all sorts of new things, but they still cling to 1229 01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:13,000 their old favourites. No, so far as I know. 1230 01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:13,720 Palmer. The doll still. 1231 01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:15,760 Scotland Yard. I dare say I could have a word 1232 01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:17,480 with the Inspector about it. I wish you were. 1233 01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:20,960 Temple Peace at any price. That's my motto. 1234 01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:23,880 Well, thanks awfully. Goodbye. 1235 01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:27,120 Goodbye, Palmer. And did you gather what all that 1236 01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:28,720 was about, Sir Graham? Yes, I did. 1237 01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:31,760 Now what the devil is he getting at temple? 1238 01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:34,800 Why is he so anxious to get hold of that doll? 1239 01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:37,120 We've examined it from head to toes. 1240 01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:39,200 Just just a perfectly ordinary doll. 1241 01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:41,440 But you may be mistaken, Sir Graham. 1242 01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:44,440 It it may not be just a perfectly ordinary doll. 1243 01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:46,160 But it is Steve. We know it is. 1244 01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:50,920 Besides, what else could it be? A red herring. 1245 01:03:08,580 --> 01:03:11,380 47 B This is it, Steve. Yes. 1246 01:03:11,900 --> 01:03:13,940 I wonder if that's Trusty's place. 1247 01:03:14,380 --> 01:03:16,740 Where? On the top there those enormous 1248 01:03:16,740 --> 01:03:17,300 windows. Oh. 1249 01:03:18,180 --> 01:03:21,040 Yes, it looks like it, Sir Graham said. 1250 01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:22,880 It was a penthouse. Well, I don't expect I should be 1251 01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:24,120 done. All right, dear. 1252 01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:35,120 Good evening, Sir. Good evening. 1253 01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:37,480 Excuse me? Oh, hello, McCall. 1254 01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:39,720 Why hello there. I didn't recognise you. 1255 01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:41,480 Oh. What are you doing in Park Lane? 1256 01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:43,920 Just taking a look at the poor, you know how it is. 1257 01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:46,120 You have a nice trip back to town. 1258 01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:48,360 If you overlooked the fact that someone tried to shoot the 1259 01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:50,240 daylight out of us, we had a delightful trip. 1260 01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:51,320 No. What happened? 1261 01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:53,800 About half an hour after we left Mano, a bullet hit our 1262 01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:56,120 windscreen. Wow, how do you know? 1263 01:03:56,240 --> 01:03:58,720 Somehow I don't think it was intended for the windscreen. 1264 01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:00,880 But that's terrible. Is Mr Tumble upset? 1265 01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:03,200 Oh, she's rather immune to that sort of thing now. 1266 01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:05,280 Not that she cares for it, mind you. 1267 01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:08,840 I should have been petrified. I'm just between ourselves. 1268 01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:15,560 I was do do I work this thing? No, Sir, I'll take you up 1269 01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:17,720 workflows. Sir, I believe it's the top. 1270 01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:19,480 Mr Drastic. Yes, that's right. 1271 01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:22,000 Goodbye, McCall. Goodbye and take care of 1272 01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:23,000 yourself. I'll try. 1273 01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:24,520 Give my regards to Missus Temple. 1274 01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:25,520 Yes, thank you. I will. 1275 01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:40,520 You're not here before, Sir. No, no, I haven't. 1276 01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:43,720 Wonderful view. Best view in London I reckon. 1277 01:04:43,960 --> 01:04:46,960 Always tell Mister Dross he's got the best view in London. 1278 01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:49,480 Right man? Of course he's got the windows 1279 01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:52,400 for it. Whopping big things, you have 1280 01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:54,640 the old ones pulled out. Oh, did he? 1281 01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:57,160 People thought he was balmy. He wasn't, though. 1282 01:04:57,160 --> 01:04:58,880 He knew what he was doing all right. 1283 01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:02,520 Tell me, how long has he been here? 1284 01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:07,040 Or Mr Drosty Oh, must be 15 years now. 1285 01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:13,400 Yes, must be all of 15. That gentleman I was speaking 1286 01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:16,040 to, Mr. Mr McCall. Yes, that's right. 1287 01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:20,760 Does he come here very often? Once a month, usually on the 1288 01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:23,840 15th. I think it works for Mr Drosty. 1289 01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:30,640 You know what he does exactly. Here we are, Sir. 1290 01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:34,360 Well, thank you. Press that button over there, 1291 01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:36,080 over on the left. That's it. 1292 01:05:44,810 --> 01:05:47,850 Mr Temple. Yes, my dear fellow, how nice of 1293 01:05:47,850 --> 01:05:49,370 you to come at a moment's notice. 1294 01:05:49,370 --> 01:05:54,410 I do appreciate it. It's most considerate of you. 1295 01:05:54,410 --> 01:05:56,210 May I take your coat? Thank you. 1296 01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:01,120 I've given my man the night off. You know how difficult it is 1297 01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:02,680 these days. The servant problem. 1298 01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:06,040 Yes, I do indeed. Well, come along, old man. 1299 01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:08,080 Come inside. Make yourself at home. 1300 01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:13,240 Thank you. I say it certainly is a 1301 01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:15,080 wonderful view. Yes. 1302 01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:17,840 On a clear day, you can see you're right across the park. 1303 01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:21,160 It's magnificent. Tell me, what's that building 1304 01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:24,040 over there with a neon light? Oh, that's the Torre. 1305 01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:25,160 A restaurant? Oh, yes, of course. 1306 01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:27,600 A horrid little place. Yes. 1307 01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:30,880 What's the joke? I own it. 1308 01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:33,200 I beg your pardon? That's quite all right. 1309 01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:36,440 Now, what can I get you to drink, old man? 1310 01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:39,320 Dry martini. Thank you. 1311 01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:42,240 I thought so. I already have it mixed. 1312 01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:45,800 You see, I once read an article about you, Mr Temple. 1313 01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:49,040 They said you never drank anything except dry martini. 1314 01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:52,960 A slight exaggeration. Here you are. 1315 01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:54,680 Thank you. Well. 1316 01:06:55,960 --> 01:07:01,560 Cheers, cheers. Do sit down, old man. 1317 01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:02,680 Sit down. No, thanks. 1318 01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:06,760 Now, what is it you want to see me about Mr Jostie on the 1319 01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:07,680 telephone? You said something about 1320 01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:09,520 Walters. That's right, I did. 1321 01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:13,080 Beth Walters. He works for me at the Commodore 1322 01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:14,680 Club. You remember him? 1323 01:07:14,840 --> 01:07:17,640 Yes, I do. He gave me the Natasha case four 1324 01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:19,600 or five days ago. That's quite right. 1325 01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:22,240 He did. Mr Temple. 1326 01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:25,720 Tell me, how did you manage to get hold of that ticket for the 1327 01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:28,240 Natasha case? Why do you ask? 1328 01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:34,240 I'm curious, that's all. Well, if you must know, it was 1329 01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:37,360 given to me by a friend of mine, Mr Palmer. 1330 01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:44,040 No, not Mr Palmer. I feel quite sure that at any 1331 01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:46,080 moment you are going to tell me to mind my own business. 1332 01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:50,960 But let me explain, old man. Ever since you took that case 1333 01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:53,320 out of the cloak room, there have been a great many questions 1334 01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:55,800 asked. Beth Walters was dragged out of 1335 01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:59,160 bed at 6:00 in the morning and twice at the moment's notice. 1336 01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:00,680 He has been taken to Scotland Yard. 1337 01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:01,920 That's why. I understand. 1338 01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:05,600 But why are the police so interested in him? 1339 01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:08,360 Why are they keeping their eye on the Commodore? 1340 01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:11,880 Have you asked them why? No, I haven't. 1341 01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:15,640 Why don't you? Because I prefer to ask you, Mr 1342 01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:18,960 Temple. After all, you took the case out 1343 01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:21,000 of the clock room. You still haven't told me why 1344 01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:22,319 you're interested in this business. 1345 01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:24,760 But surely that's obvious, old man. 1346 01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:28,000 How do you mean? I own the Commodore Club, so 1347 01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:31,200 everything that happens there is naturally of interest to me. 1348 01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:37,720 Besides, I don't want any trouble, particularly just now. 1349 01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:43,640 No, no. You see, Mr Temple, I am 1350 01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:46,120 applying for naturalisation papers. 1351 01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:48,960 It is my wish to become a British subject. 1352 01:08:49,359 --> 01:08:50,960 And do you think that this a fair to the Commodore? 1353 01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:53,800 You know what people say? Well, there's smoke, there's 1354 01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:55,640 fire. Yes, but surely just because you 1355 01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:57,840 own the Commodore doesn't necessarily mean that you're 1356 01:08:57,840 --> 01:08:59,600 responsible for everything that happens there. 1357 01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:03,000 Well, supposing one of the guests suddenly took it into his 1358 01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:05,560 head to murder the head waiter, he would have my complete 1359 01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:09,399 sympathy. Yes, but you could hardly be 1360 01:09:09,399 --> 01:09:12,479 held responsible. Look here, old man. 1361 01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:15,880 I think I'd better put my cards on the table. 1362 01:09:16,359 --> 01:09:20,319 It might be an advantage. I invited you here this evening 1363 01:09:20,319 --> 01:09:23,640 because there's something I want to know. 1364 01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:29,640 Well, go on. I don't expect you to answer my 1365 01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:33,040 question, but. Oh, I'm so sorry, old man. 1366 01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:34,720 Let me get you a drink. No, no, no, no, please. 1367 01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:36,800 What is it you want to know, Mr Rusty? 1368 01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:41,040 What was inside that attache case? 1369 01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:45,160 Don't you know? If I did, I. 1370 01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:49,120 Shouldn't be asking you. You refuse to answer my 1371 01:09:49,120 --> 01:09:51,240 question. Have you asked the police? 1372 01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:53,160 Yes. I asked Inspector Ethan. 1373 01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:56,000 What did he say in diplomatic language? 1374 01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:57,600 He told me to mind my own business. 1375 01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:03,120 Is that your reply to? I'm afraid I'm not quite so 1376 01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:08,080 diplomatic as the Inspector. You remember reading about that 1377 01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:09,960 baby? The little girl who disappeared 1378 01:10:10,480 --> 01:10:12,520 or the Miss Millicent affair? That's right. 1379 01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:14,560 Yes. Well, the little girl had a 1380 01:10:14,560 --> 01:10:16,920 doll. It disappeared when the child 1381 01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:21,520 was kidnapped. Well, that's what I found in the 1382 01:10:21,520 --> 01:10:24,800 Atasha case. Are you serious? 1383 01:10:24,840 --> 01:10:29,760 Perfectly serious. Tell me, was the doll examined 1384 01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:31,840 by the police? No, there was nothing inside it. 1385 01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:34,080 Nothing concealed, if that's what you're thinking. 1386 01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:36,720 Just a doll. In fact. 1387 01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:38,640 Exactly. Just a doll. 1388 01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:44,680 And now, Mr Jose, perhaps you wouldn't mind answering a 1389 01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:46,640 question or two. I shall be delighted. 1390 01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:49,680 What did you imagine was in the attache case? 1391 01:10:50,680 --> 01:10:53,080 I had a horrible feeling that someone might have stolen 1392 01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:57,040 something, some jewellery perhaps, and deposited it at the 1393 01:10:57,040 --> 01:10:58,960 Commodore. Well, I don't think I should 1394 01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:00,440 worry as much about The Commodores. 1395 01:11:00,440 --> 01:11:03,120 About the Wordsworth. What do you mean? 1396 01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:04,920 You do own the Wordsworth Hotel at Marlow, don't you? 1397 01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:09,280 Yes, I do. Oh, I see what you're getting 1398 01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:11,600 at, old man. This murder. 1399 01:11:11,600 --> 01:11:14,280 Yes. Well, it's nothing to do with 1400 01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:18,400 me. But how did you know that I own 1401 01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:19,400 the Wordsworth? I didn't. 1402 01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:22,400 It was simply a guess. I bumped into McCall downstairs. 1403 01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:25,920 Oh, I see. I suppose he told you what 1404 01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:27,680 happened? That I discovered the body? 1405 01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:32,520 Yes, he told me. You don't happen to know who he 1406 01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:35,640 was, I suppose. The man who was murdered, Yes. 1407 01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:38,080 No, I'm afraid I don't. I see. 1408 01:11:39,800 --> 01:11:41,440 Tell me, have you heard of a man called Van Dyke? 1409 01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:44,680 Van Dyke. Did you say I did? 1410 01:11:46,160 --> 01:11:48,000 Why do you ask? He telephoned me several days 1411 01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:49,320 ago. Unfortunately, I was out. 1412 01:11:49,480 --> 01:11:53,520 He left no message. No, no, no. 1413 01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:54,960 I'm sorry. I can't help you. 1414 01:11:55,720 --> 01:11:57,720 I've never heard of anyone called Van Dyke. 1415 01:11:59,240 --> 01:12:02,080 Now, Dees, let me get you another drink. 1416 01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:03,440 What? Vanessa. 1417 01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:06,080 Hello, Philip. Sweetheart, I didn't expect you 1418 01:12:06,080 --> 01:12:07,360 back until Thursday. I know. 1419 01:12:07,920 --> 01:12:09,680 I had to make up my mind very quickly. 1420 01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:13,280 It's difficult. I didn't see anyone until last 1421 01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:14,600 night. And I you look as if you need a 1422 01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:17,120 drink, my sweets. No, I had something on the 1423 01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:19,280 plane. Oh, I beg your pardon. 1424 01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:22,440 This is my wife, sweetheart. This is Mr Temple. 1425 01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:25,840 Well, you've heard of Paul Temple, Vanessa. 1426 01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:27,920 He writes books, you know. How do you do, Mrs Doster? 1427 01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:29,040 How? How do you do? 1428 01:12:29,800 --> 01:12:31,480 What did you say? He writes. 1429 01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:33,840 What? Books, darling. 1430 01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:36,560 You know, sweetheart, things you read. 1431 01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:42,320 Books Vanessa's always the same. After the journey, Run along my 1432 01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:46,160 dear, and paddle your nose. Philip I didn't see anyone until 1433 01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:48,240 last night and then it was too late. 1434 01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:49,280 Yes. All right, darling, there's 1435 01:12:49,280 --> 01:12:50,920 nothing to worry about, my sweet Run along. 1436 01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:52,560 Have you had a very long journey, missus transfer? 1437 01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:56,720 No, I've. Been in Paris two or three days? 1438 01:12:56,720 --> 01:12:58,480 That's all right. Vanessa, what is it? 1439 01:12:58,480 --> 01:13:02,600 What's wrong? You know what it is? 1440 01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:06,560 Look out, Look out, Vanessa. You better give her a drink 1441 01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:10,160 quickly. I don't know what it is. 1442 01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:11,760 It's all right, Missus Johnson. It's all right. 1443 01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:13,080 Yeah. Drink this. 1444 01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:15,240 No, I'll be better in a moment only. 1445 01:13:15,400 --> 01:13:18,280 Vanessa, don't be. Stupid drink this please. 1446 01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:23,680 Thanks. Silly of me. 1447 01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:28,040 I'm sorry, Philip, but it's all. Right my sweet, you couldn't 1448 01:13:28,040 --> 01:13:31,200 help it. I think I better go and lie 1449 01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:32,880 down. Yes, sweetheart, I think you'd 1450 01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:35,760 better. You must have a very odd opinion 1451 01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:39,000 of me, Mr Temple. I I don't usually do this sort 1452 01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:41,880 of thing, do I, Philip? Only on Tuesdays and Fridays. 1453 01:13:43,400 --> 01:13:45,080 Oh dear, how stupid of me. Where's my handbag? 1454 01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:46,520 Oh. Here it is. 1455 01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:49,200 Oh, thanks. And and my gloves. 1456 01:13:49,280 --> 01:13:50,440 Here you are. This is Jostie. 1457 01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:53,200 Thank you. Do you feel better now, my dear? 1458 01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:56,920 Yes, I was ill in the plane coming over. 1459 01:13:56,920 --> 01:14:01,080 I I expect that was the trouble. I'll take some aspirin and lie 1460 01:14:01,080 --> 01:14:08,240 down. Now, old man, let me mix you 1461 01:14:08,240 --> 01:14:09,680 that drink. No, no, thanks. 1462 01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:11,960 I I think I better be making a move. 1463 01:14:12,040 --> 01:14:16,600 Oh, well, if you really must, I'm most grateful to you for 1464 01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:19,520 your information. Information about the dolls? 1465 01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:23,200 Oh, yes, It was very sporting of your old man to take me into 1466 01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:25,800 your confidence. Believe me, I appreciate. 1467 01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:28,120 It Oh, that's all right. I hope you'll do the same for me 1468 01:14:28,120 --> 01:14:31,360 sometime. Yes, I I hope so. 1469 01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:35,760 Good night, Mr Temple. Good night, old man. 1470 01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:46,640 Sorry I've been so long, Steve. And did you see Dusty? 1471 01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:49,480 I did. Darling, you're on to something. 1472 01:14:49,480 --> 01:14:50,640 What's happened? I'm dead right. 1473 01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:52,560 I'm on to something, Steve. I'm just beginning to see 1474 01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:53,840 daylight. Things are beginning to add up. 1475 01:14:53,920 --> 01:14:56,880 How do you mean? Not only did I meet Mr Dusty, 1476 01:14:56,880 --> 01:15:00,200 but I met Missus Dusty and by Timothy. 1477 01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:02,600 What a woman. What do you mean by Timothy? 1478 01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:04,560 What a woman? What's so remarkable about 1479 01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:06,120 Missus Dusty? Shall I tell you? 1480 01:15:06,160 --> 01:15:10,880 Yes, she buys her gloves from the same shop as Missus Desmond. 1481 01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:30,480 I'll carry that case down, Misses Temple. 1482 01:15:30,480 --> 01:15:33,040 No, it's all right, Charlie. Don't forget the passports, 1483 01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:34,000 Paul. No, I won't. 1484 01:15:34,480 --> 01:15:37,120 Now listen, Charlie, I want you to take particular note of what 1485 01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:38,160 I'm saying. Yes, Sir. 1486 01:15:38,320 --> 01:15:40,360 If anyone rings up, it doesn't matter who they are. 1487 01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:43,320 I don't want you to say anything about Missus Temple and me being 1488 01:15:43,320 --> 01:15:45,680 in Paris. If they ask where we are, just 1489 01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:48,000 say we're out of town for two or three days. 1490 01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:50,440 What if it's Sir Graham? Sir Graham won't ring. 1491 01:15:50,440 --> 01:15:52,400 He knows where to get in touch with me if he wants to. 1492 01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:54,640 Now you understand, Charlie. Yes, Sir. 1493 01:15:54,720 --> 01:15:56,560 That's OK, Sir. You leave it to me, Sir. 1494 01:15:56,640 --> 01:15:58,240 We should probably be back on Thursday. 1495 01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:00,040 Friday at the latest. Okey doke, Sir. 1496 01:16:00,480 --> 01:16:02,280 Well, goodbye, Charlie. Goodbye, Sir. 1497 01:16:02,480 --> 01:16:05,080 Have a nice trip. Oh, now, who on earth's that? 1498 01:16:05,480 --> 01:16:09,200 I'll open it. Oh, hello, Shelley. 1499 01:16:09,280 --> 01:16:12,280 Hello, Mr Temple. I Are you just going out? 1500 01:16:12,320 --> 01:16:14,760 Yes, as a matter of fact, I am. I've got a train to catch. 1501 01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:16,240 I'm in rather hurry. Oh, dear. 1502 01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:18,760 I very tantalising. I did so want to have a word 1503 01:16:18,760 --> 01:16:19,520 with you. Sorry. 1504 01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:22,280 Oh, how vexing. Can't you spare me? 1505 01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:23,960 Just a moment. It is important. 1506 01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:27,760 All right, come in. But you'll have to make it 1507 01:16:27,760 --> 01:16:30,400 snappy. You're not going down to Marlow 1508 01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:32,520 again, are you? Oh, no, no. 1509 01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:34,280 We are going to stay with some friends. 1510 01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:38,280 Now, what can I do for you? I think perhaps you'd better 1511 01:16:38,280 --> 01:16:40,200 read this. What is it? 1512 01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:45,120 Well, read it. The man you met at Marlow, the 1513 01:16:45,120 --> 01:16:48,600 man who called himself Baker, was Harry the Wolf. 1514 01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:52,080 Let that be a warning. Mr Shelley. 1515 01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:54,840 When did you get this? This afternoon. 1516 01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:57,200 I recognised the handwriting the moment I saw it. 1517 01:16:57,200 --> 01:16:58,920 You recognise the handwriting? Yes. 1518 01:16:59,360 --> 01:17:00,960 Well, whose is it? Don't tell me you don't 1519 01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:03,000 recognise it. It's Miss Millicence. 1520 01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:07,200 Miss Millicence, You sure? But of course, I'm sure I've 1521 01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:09,000 compared it with a letter she wrote me asking for an 1522 01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:10,640 interview. Well, assuming for the moment 1523 01:17:10,640 --> 01:17:12,920 that you're right and that this note was written by Miss 1524 01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:15,600 Millicent, why did she write to you instead of the Scotland 1525 01:17:15,600 --> 01:17:17,480 Yard? That's precisely what I want to 1526 01:17:17,480 --> 01:17:19,320 know. I've never heard of anyone 1527 01:17:19,320 --> 01:17:23,000 called Harry Dewolf. Well, Shirley, listen. 1528 01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:25,560 I want you to take this note to Inspector Eden. 1529 01:17:25,560 --> 01:17:27,560 Tell him I sent you and give him all the details. 1530 01:17:27,560 --> 01:17:30,360 Oh, but I don't like Eden. He's a ghastly person. 1531 01:17:31,240 --> 01:17:32,320 Why do you think I brought it? To you. 1532 01:17:32,320 --> 01:17:34,120 I'm sorry, Shelley. You'll have to see Eden. 1533 01:17:34,360 --> 01:17:36,560 In any case, the Yard will want to check up on this Manderwolf. 1534 01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:38,800 Oh, I suppose the moment I take this note to Eden, he'll get 1535 01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:40,320 suspicious. He'll probably think that I'm 1536 01:17:40,320 --> 01:17:42,320 mixed up in this fractal business and wrote the note 1537 01:17:42,320 --> 01:17:44,040 myself. Did you? 1538 01:17:44,040 --> 01:17:47,320 Well, of course I didn't. And there's nothing for you to 1539 01:17:47,320 --> 01:17:48,640 worry about. Nothing for me to. 1540 01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:52,080 Worry about? I'm not so sure about that. 1541 01:17:52,800 --> 01:17:53,640 Let. That be a. 1542 01:17:53,640 --> 01:17:57,240 Warning, Mr Shelley, A warning against what? 1543 01:17:57,760 --> 01:18:18,640 For goodness sake. Yes, this is it Paul. 1544 01:18:18,880 --> 01:18:20,880 Look gubs and handbags in the window. 1545 01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:22,680 Charles Marie. Yes. 1546 01:18:22,680 --> 01:18:25,720 This is the shop. All right, come here. 1547 01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:34,640 It's rather nice little shop, isn't it? 1548 01:18:35,720 --> 01:18:37,440 Have you got that glove, Steve? The one Mrs Desmond. 1549 01:18:37,520 --> 01:18:39,040 Yes, in my handbag. Right. 1550 01:18:39,040 --> 01:18:44,200 Come on, let's go inside. Good afternoon. 1551 01:18:44,600 --> 01:18:48,120 Good afternoon, Madam. What can I show you, Madam? 1552 01:18:48,480 --> 01:18:50,040 I'm looking for a pair of gloves. 1553 01:18:50,120 --> 01:18:51,920 Certainly, Madam, for evening wear. 1554 01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:53,560 No, David. I understand, Madam. 1555 01:18:53,640 --> 01:18:55,280 What size? 6 1/2. 1556 01:18:55,280 --> 01:18:58,800 No, these are very nice to you. They're very smart, Monsieur. 1557 01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:01,360 They only arrived this morning. They're from Brazil. 1558 01:19:01,720 --> 01:19:04,640 Have you got them in blue? Oh, I'm afraid not, Madam. 1559 01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:06,840 In that particular glove, there's only just the one 1560 01:19:06,840 --> 01:19:09,160 colour. But one moment, please. 1561 01:19:10,440 --> 01:19:13,720 Do you like these? Oh yes, yes, they're very nice. 1562 01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:19,440 How much of those those twamil sets off on 3700 wanks miss you? 1563 01:19:20,760 --> 01:19:23,480 Rather expensive. Expensive, yes, but very good. 1564 01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:27,760 Have you got those in blue? No, Madam, they are just the 1565 01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:30,240 three colours, black, red and grey. 1566 01:19:30,800 --> 01:19:34,920 You particularly want blue. Yes, I'm afraid I do. 1567 01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:37,760 One moment. Excuse me, I think I know what 1568 01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:41,440 you will like by them. If you looked at these gloves, 1569 01:19:41,440 --> 01:19:44,280 Steve, there isn't a tab or a name on any of them. 1570 01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:47,000 Yes, I noticed that. Now, Madame ah. 1571 01:19:48,560 --> 01:19:54,960 Those are very nice. How much are they 4002? 1572 01:19:54,960 --> 01:19:57,880 100. Madame Expensive, but very good. 1573 01:19:58,240 --> 01:20:00,440 That's where they are very nice, but. 1574 01:20:01,440 --> 01:20:04,360 I wanted something a little darker if possible. 1575 01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:07,280 These are very dark, Madam. A friend of ours bought a pair 1576 01:20:07,280 --> 01:20:10,040 of gloves from you. My wife was awfully taken with 1577 01:20:10,040 --> 01:20:12,520 them, as a matter of fact. That's why we came here. 1578 01:20:13,880 --> 01:20:16,240 Well, what were they like, Monsieur? 1579 01:20:16,520 --> 01:20:17,880 Didn't you bring one with you? Darling of. 1580 01:20:18,280 --> 01:20:20,400 Course, of course I did. How stupid of me. 1581 01:20:20,880 --> 01:20:25,320 It's in my handbag. Here it is. 1582 01:20:25,840 --> 01:20:27,400 That's the sort of glove we're looking for. 1583 01:20:29,080 --> 01:20:31,600 I did not realise that you wanted a pair like this. 1584 01:20:32,360 --> 01:20:36,840 You will have to go to the Blvd seminar. 29 A Blvd seminar. 1585 01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:38,680 Is that a shop too? And non? 1586 01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:40,480 Non, Monsieur, it's an apartment. 1587 01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:42,880 You go upstairs to the second floor. 1588 01:20:43,400 --> 01:20:45,520 You understand me? Yes, I understand. 1589 01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:48,480 I would suggest a night, Monsieur, if that's convenient. 1590 01:20:48,520 --> 01:20:52,960 Yes, that's convenient. 11:00 Eleven o'clock 29 Blvd Seminar. 1591 01:20:53,480 --> 01:21:15,720 Ask for Mr Palmer. That was the third episode of 1592 01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:19,160 the Francis Derbridge serial Paul Temple and the Van Dyke 1593 01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:21,840 Affair, produced by Martin C Webster. 1594 01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:26,760 The part of Paul Temple is played by Peter Cook, Steve by 1595 01:21:26,760 --> 01:21:31,760 Marjorie Westbury, Roger Shelley by Richard Handel, Philip Drusty 1596 01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:36,720 by Simon Lack, his wife Vanessa by Griselda Harvey and other 1597 01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:40,000 parts by members of the BBC Drama Repertory Company. 1598 01:21:47,920 --> 01:21:50,920 And we'll find out what the meeting at Blvd Seminar brings 1599 01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:53,840 tomorrow in the Van Dyke Affair. Paul and Steve will be with us 1600 01:21:53,840 --> 01:22:12,280 again at the same time. We present Peter Cook and 1601 01:22:12,280 --> 01:22:16,360 Marjorie Westbury in the Francis Derbridge serial Paul Temple and 1602 01:22:16,360 --> 01:22:21,440 the Van Dyke Affair episode 4 Blvd seminar. 1603 01:22:32,560 --> 01:22:34,760 I did not realise that you wanted a pair of gloves like 1604 01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:36,880 this. You'll have to go to the Blvd 1605 01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:41,120 seminar. 29 Blvd seminar. Is that a shop too? 1606 01:22:41,120 --> 01:22:42,760 Oh, no, no, Monsieur, it's an apartment. 1607 01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:44,600 You go upstairs to the scarf floor. 1608 01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:47,600 You understand me? Yes, I understand. 1609 01:22:48,160 --> 01:22:50,520 I would suggest tonight, Monsieur, if that's convenient. 1610 01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:56,120 Yes, that's convenient. 11 o'clock 11:00 Ask for Mr Palmer. 1611 01:22:56,880 --> 01:22:58,880 Palmer. The name is familiar, Madam. 1612 01:22:59,520 --> 01:23:01,360 Well. Perhaps your friend mentioned 1613 01:23:01,360 --> 01:23:02,480 it. The lady with the glove. 1614 01:23:02,640 --> 01:23:04,400 Oh yes, I think she must have done. 1615 01:23:04,480 --> 01:23:08,520 Is that Mister Terry Palmer? Just ask for Mr Palmer. 1616 01:23:09,040 --> 01:23:10,400 I'm afraid that's all I can tell you. 1617 01:23:11,080 --> 01:23:12,400 Will you excuse me, please? Of course. 1618 01:23:12,400 --> 01:23:13,920 Come on, darling. Bonjour, Madame. 1619 01:23:14,120 --> 01:23:14,560 Bonjour. But. 1620 01:23:23,210 --> 01:23:26,850 I just don't understand it. The last time we saw Palmer, he 1621 01:23:26,850 --> 01:23:28,890 was on his way to Eastbourne with Mary Desmond. 1622 01:23:28,970 --> 01:23:31,090 It's nothing to go by, Steve. He could be here in a matter of 1623 01:23:31,090 --> 01:23:33,720 hours. In any case, I'm not at all sure 1624 01:23:33,720 --> 01:23:35,440 that our friend was referring to the Palmer. 1625 01:23:35,440 --> 01:23:38,520 We know it's. Too big a coincidence. 1626 01:23:38,520 --> 01:23:41,480 It must be Terry Palmer. Well, whether it's Terry Palmer 1627 01:23:41,480 --> 01:23:44,080 or not, we've got to watch our steps, Steve. 1628 01:23:44,280 --> 01:23:47,200 But why do you say that? Aren't you going to go to the 1629 01:23:47,200 --> 01:23:49,560 Boulevard Seminary? I'm going, but I'm not so sure 1630 01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:50,880 about you. You don't know what we might 1631 01:23:50,880 --> 01:23:53,280 bump into tonight. Whatever it is, I'll be with 1632 01:23:53,360 --> 01:23:55,480 you. So cut out the heroics, darling, 1633 01:23:55,480 --> 01:23:58,680 and let's get down to facts. What do you think will happen 1634 01:23:58,680 --> 01:24:01,560 tonight? I don't know, let's go back to 1635 01:24:01,560 --> 01:24:03,200 the hotel and talk about it over a drink. 1636 01:24:03,480 --> 01:24:06,520 Now that's a sensible. Ah, here's a taxi. 1637 01:24:06,800 --> 01:24:16,340 Taxi. You want a cab? 1638 01:24:16,420 --> 01:24:18,500 Yes, please. Will you take us to the Hotel 1639 01:24:18,500 --> 01:24:19,940 Creon? Hotel Creon? 1640 01:24:20,300 --> 01:24:48,390 OK, How much do you want? 1641 01:24:49,030 --> 01:24:52,470 It says 200 francs on the metre, but who cares about the metre 1642 01:24:52,470 --> 01:24:54,720 anyway? Well, here we are. 1643 01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:56,880 Thanks. You an American? 1644 01:24:57,400 --> 01:25:00,720 How did you guess? Well, well, don't look so 1645 01:25:00,720 --> 01:25:03,400 surprised. But I'm not the only American in 1646 01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:05,000 Paris. I bet you're the only one 1647 01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:07,040 driving a cab. You've got something there, 1648 01:25:07,040 --> 01:25:08,760 lady. How did this happen? 1649 01:25:09,080 --> 01:25:11,160 How did I get stuck with this chariot, you mean? 1650 01:25:11,160 --> 01:25:13,480 Yeah, That's a long story, brother. 1651 01:25:14,240 --> 01:25:17,560 Back in 44 I received a pressing invitation from a guy called 1652 01:25:17,640 --> 01:25:20,840 Adolf Hitler. Hitler was a pushover, but there 1653 01:25:20,840 --> 01:25:24,440 was a gal called Louise. There was no metre on that baby, 1654 01:25:24,440 --> 01:25:26,360 but she certainly took me for a ride. 1655 01:25:27,880 --> 01:25:30,160 Say, how long are you staying over here? 1656 01:25:30,200 --> 01:25:34,000 O2 or three days perhaps? Well, you can always pick me up 1657 01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:36,000 around the corner. My name's Luke. 1658 01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:39,480 I park near the Madeleine. Like to take you around 1659 01:25:39,480 --> 01:25:40,400 sometime. Yeah. 1660 01:25:40,400 --> 01:25:43,360 All right. Oh, by the way, where's the Blvd 1661 01:25:43,360 --> 01:25:45,440 seminar? Seminar. 1662 01:25:46,160 --> 01:25:50,560 Oh, that's near the Pastaletois quite a long way from here. 1663 01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:53,960 Well, we've got a date there tonight at 11:00. 1664 01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:55,360 Do you think you could pick us up? 1665 01:25:55,720 --> 01:25:58,360 Sure. I'll be here at the hotel about 1666 01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:00,120 10:45. OK, fine. 1667 01:26:00,600 --> 01:26:04,040 Be good. Listen, who's talking? 1668 01:26:12,230 --> 01:26:14,190 Oh, could I have my key, please? Room 109. 1669 01:26:14,270 --> 01:26:18,750 Certainly, Monsieur. Oh, Mr Temple, yes. 1670 01:26:19,150 --> 01:26:20,830 There's a gentleman would like to see you. 1671 01:26:20,910 --> 01:26:24,720 Sir is wishing for you upstairs from C0 Cat. 1672 01:26:25,200 --> 01:26:26,320 See me? Yes, Sir. 1673 01:26:26,800 --> 01:26:28,920 Oh, there he is. Oh, look who's here. 1674 01:26:28,920 --> 01:26:30,000 It's a Graham. Oh. 1675 01:26:30,240 --> 01:26:31,760 Hello, Steve. Hello, it's a Graham. 1676 01:26:31,760 --> 01:26:34,080 What are you doing in Paris? Well, I'll give you 3 guesses 1677 01:26:34,240 --> 01:26:35,480 and don't mention the fully bear. 1678 01:26:35,480 --> 01:26:39,080 I don't. I'm a rather Harry Temple. 1679 01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:41,360 But I want to talk to you. Let's go up to my room. 1680 01:26:41,440 --> 01:26:41,960 Yeah. All right. 1681 01:26:42,280 --> 01:26:44,600 It'll be quiet. When did you get here A Graham? 1682 01:26:44,720 --> 01:26:47,400 I flew over last night, Steve. I arrived about 12:30. 1683 01:26:54,960 --> 01:26:59,320 Then, he said, 29 Blvd Seminar asked for Mr Palmer. 1684 01:27:00,040 --> 01:27:02,200 Palmer. Whether he meant Terry Palmer or 1685 01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:05,600 not, we don't know. Well, that's our story up to 1686 01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:07,040 date. What about yours, Graham? 1687 01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:10,560 Well, after you left London, Shelly came along to the Yard 1688 01:27:10,560 --> 01:27:12,400 with that note. The one he was supposed to have 1689 01:27:12,400 --> 01:27:14,440 got from Miss Millicent. Yes, he got it from Miss 1690 01:27:14,440 --> 01:27:16,760 Millicent all right. At any rate, she wrote it. 1691 01:27:16,760 --> 01:27:19,920 We checked the handwriting. Oh, as soon as we knew that the 1692 01:27:19,920 --> 01:27:21,560 note was genuine, we got to work. 1693 01:27:22,360 --> 01:27:26,960 Well, got a Long story short. The man who impersonated Digby. 1694 01:27:26,960 --> 01:27:28,440 It was the man the note mentioned. 1695 01:27:28,440 --> 01:27:31,560 Henry the Wolf I. See Had the wolf a police 1696 01:27:31,560 --> 01:27:33,760 record? As far as we were concerned, no, 1697 01:27:34,840 --> 01:27:38,080 but because of the receipt he found on him, even decided to 1698 01:27:38,080 --> 01:27:41,680 get in touch with the sciorte. We had a detailed report on the 1699 01:27:41,680 --> 01:27:43,200 wolf within an hour go. On. 1700 01:27:44,040 --> 01:27:46,680 It appears that he at one time was a prominent member of a drug 1701 01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:51,640 gang. He left France in 1954 and was 1702 01:27:51,640 --> 01:27:54,400 last heard of officially in Boston in May 55. 1703 01:27:54,400 --> 01:27:55,240 I. See. 1704 01:27:55,640 --> 01:27:59,280 Since then, both the Ciarette and the FBI appeared to have 1705 01:27:59,280 --> 01:28:01,360 lost track of him. And then, suddenly, quite out of 1706 01:28:01,360 --> 01:28:03,440 the blue, he turns up at Marlow. Yes. 1707 01:28:05,240 --> 01:28:08,320 So, Graham, are you suggesting that the Wolf and Miss 1708 01:28:08,320 --> 01:28:11,360 Millicent, possibly Shelley, are all in this? 1709 01:28:11,800 --> 01:28:13,440 I'm not suggesting anything, Steve. 1710 01:28:14,560 --> 01:28:18,040 I'm simply giving you the facts. I don't know that heroin is 1711 01:28:18,040 --> 01:28:20,480 getting into the illicit market from a new source. 1712 01:28:21,480 --> 01:28:23,960 Whether that source is controlled by Shelley or Palmer 1713 01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:27,560 or even Miss Millicent, well, I I wouldn't like to say. 1714 01:28:27,960 --> 01:28:30,520 But you're sure that the disappearance of Miss Millicent 1715 01:28:30,960 --> 01:28:33,800 and the kidnapping of the Desmond baby are tied up with 1716 01:28:33,800 --> 01:28:35,400 the murder of the Wolf? Yes, yes, I. 1717 01:28:35,640 --> 01:28:39,160 Am I agree? Well, tell me, I suppose of 1718 01:28:39,160 --> 01:28:41,840 course you examine the note that Miss Millicent sent to Shelley. 1719 01:28:41,840 --> 01:28:43,280 Well of. Course, there's nothing we can't 1720 01:28:43,280 --> 01:28:46,680 tell you about that note, Steve. The sort of paper it was written 1721 01:28:46,680 --> 01:28:50,640 on, the kind of ink that was used, even the kind of pen it 1722 01:28:50,640 --> 01:28:51,320 was written with. But. 1723 01:28:51,760 --> 01:28:53,280 Can you tell when it was written? 1724 01:28:53,440 --> 01:28:57,320 Yes, it was written about 24 hours before Shelley received 1725 01:28:57,320 --> 01:28:59,520 it. So unless something's happened 1726 01:28:59,520 --> 01:29:03,000 to Miss Millicent during the past day or so, she's still 1727 01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:04,360 alive. Yes, of course. 1728 01:29:04,760 --> 01:29:08,920 You seem surprised, Steve. I am surprised why I don't think 1729 01:29:08,920 --> 01:29:12,280 she did write that note. I don't think she's alive. 1730 01:29:12,680 --> 01:29:14,880 Well, look, supposing she isn't alive. 1731 01:29:14,880 --> 01:29:16,520 Supposing someone forged that note. 1732 01:29:16,520 --> 01:29:18,720 Shelley himself all. Right, Shelley himself. 1733 01:29:19,200 --> 01:29:20,880 What's the point? What's the point is the note 1734 01:29:20,880 --> 01:29:24,000 wasn't forged? Why should Miss Millicent want 1735 01:29:24,000 --> 01:29:26,760 to warn Shelley? And what exactly she warning him 1736 01:29:26,760 --> 01:29:28,080 against? It's pretty obvious, isn't it, 1737 01:29:28,080 --> 01:29:29,680 darling? You saw what happened to Queenie 1738 01:29:29,680 --> 01:29:31,680 Edwards and you saw what happened to the wolf. 1739 01:29:32,040 --> 01:29:35,320 In other words, the note simply said, Keep your mouth shut, Mr 1740 01:29:35,320 --> 01:29:38,320 Shelley, or it's your turn. Next precisely, Sir Graham. 1741 01:29:39,160 --> 01:29:43,680 Well, take the suspects in this affair with Terry Palmer, Roger 1742 01:29:43,680 --> 01:29:47,800 Shelley, Mary Desmond, Bill McCall and Tosty Well, but Can 1743 01:29:47,800 --> 01:29:50,560 you imagine any of those people taking orders from a middle-aged 1744 01:29:50,560 --> 01:29:53,320 spinster like Miss Millicent? Well, it just doesn't make 1745 01:29:53,320 --> 01:29:55,800 sense. What's your opinion of all this, 1746 01:29:55,800 --> 01:29:58,520 Steve? I think you're right about the 1747 01:29:58,520 --> 01:30:00,840 wolf being mixed up with the disappearance of Miss Millicent, 1748 01:30:01,440 --> 01:30:04,680 but I think she got caught up quite innocently with a drug 1749 01:30:04,720 --> 01:30:08,800 smuggling ring and they either had to get rid of her, which in 1750 01:30:08,800 --> 01:30:11,560 my opinion they did, or kidnap her. 1751 01:30:11,880 --> 01:30:14,160 And Mr Van Dyke, where does he fit into the picture? 1752 01:30:14,160 --> 01:30:17,400 Van Dyke's the leader, and the leader, in my opinion, is our 1753 01:30:17,400 --> 01:30:20,320 flamboyant friend Roger Shelley. And how do you account for the 1754 01:30:20,320 --> 01:30:23,720 disappearance of the doll and the fact that it was left in the 1755 01:30:23,720 --> 01:30:26,320 attache case of the Commodore? And how did Queenie Edwards know 1756 01:30:26,320 --> 01:30:28,280 that it was at the Commodore? And why did she send me the 1757 01:30:28,280 --> 01:30:31,240 cloakroom ticket? Right. 1758 01:30:31,240 --> 01:30:33,440 I don't know why. You're not the only one who 1759 01:30:33,440 --> 01:30:35,720 doesn't know Steve. Well. 1760 01:30:35,720 --> 01:30:38,560 I I must be making a move. Why don't you join us for lunch 1761 01:30:38,560 --> 01:30:40,040 so. Graham unfortunately I can't. 1762 01:30:40,040 --> 01:30:44,600 I'm lunch with Pierre Chabonnet. Chabonnet, my name's from Isn't 1763 01:30:44,600 --> 01:30:46,480 he the Ballistics expert? He was. 1764 01:30:46,880 --> 01:30:49,000 He's now attached to the surrogate Nacional. 1765 01:30:49,480 --> 01:30:50,760 We've known one another for years. 1766 01:30:50,960 --> 01:30:52,720 I suppose you'll have to tell him what happened this morning. 1767 01:30:53,080 --> 01:30:56,200 I'm afraid so, Temple. Don't worry, he won't interfere. 1768 01:30:56,800 --> 01:30:58,000 He'll let you pleasure your own web. 1769 01:30:58,800 --> 01:31:01,640 We shall see. Yes. 1770 01:31:01,640 --> 01:31:04,640 What is? It, but this cable has just a 1771 01:31:04,640 --> 01:31:06,200 hive for you. Yeah, thank. 1772 01:31:07,160 --> 01:31:16,720 You. Excuse me, It's from the yard. 1773 01:31:17,360 --> 01:31:21,280 It's in code. Good Lord. 1774 01:31:21,920 --> 01:31:24,960 What's wrong? They've found Miss Millicent. 1775 01:31:24,960 --> 01:31:27,520 They have. They picked her body out of the 1776 01:31:27,520 --> 01:31:31,080 Thames at 4:00 this morning. Where? 1777 01:31:31,320 --> 01:31:34,520 About two miles from Marlow. How long have you been dead? 1778 01:31:34,520 --> 01:31:37,000 Do they know? At least a week. 1779 01:31:37,600 --> 01:31:41,000 Then Steve was right. She couldn't have sent that note 1780 01:31:41,000 --> 01:32:02,660 to Roger Shelley. That was a very good lunch A. 1781 01:32:03,220 --> 01:32:05,580 Very good lunch. What do you want to do now? 1782 01:32:06,060 --> 01:32:09,660 I don't know, There's some shopping I ought to do, but 1783 01:32:09,660 --> 01:32:11,700 somehow I don't feel very much like doing. 1784 01:32:11,820 --> 01:32:14,660 Better leave it till tomorrow. I think the best thing we can do 1785 01:32:14,660 --> 01:32:16,660 is to go back to the hotel and have a restaurant now or so. 1786 01:32:16,700 --> 01:32:19,380 Yes, all right. Well, I'm blown. 1787 01:32:20,220 --> 01:32:22,920 Look who's here. McCall. 1788 01:32:22,920 --> 01:32:25,000 Yes, but not only McCall. Look who he's with. 1789 01:32:25,600 --> 01:32:27,200 Who is it? Philip Trusty. 1790 01:32:28,440 --> 01:32:30,040 They've spotted to Steve. They're coming over here. 1791 01:32:30,920 --> 01:32:33,520 Why, Hello, Mr Temple. Hello, Justin. 1792 01:32:33,720 --> 01:32:35,960 My dear fellow, this is an unexpected pleasure. 1793 01:32:35,960 --> 01:32:37,400 I didn't expect to see you in Paris. 1794 01:32:37,880 --> 01:32:40,360 It only goes to show it's a small world, old man. 1795 01:32:41,080 --> 01:32:43,920 Oh, forgive me if I'm interrupting at the table. 1796 01:32:43,920 --> 01:32:47,280 This is my wife. Oh, darling, this is Mr Justy. 1797 01:32:47,320 --> 01:32:48,920 How do you do? I think you know Mr McCall. 1798 01:32:49,360 --> 01:32:51,080 Oh, yes, of course. We met at Marlow. 1799 01:32:51,120 --> 01:32:52,080 Hello there. Hello. 1800 01:32:52,400 --> 01:32:53,960 Delighted to meet you, Missus Temple. 1801 01:32:54,280 --> 01:32:57,640 What a pleasant surprise. Are you staying in Paris for 1802 01:32:57,640 --> 01:32:59,520 long? Just two or three days. 1803 01:32:59,520 --> 01:33:01,400 Where are you staying, Temple? Where are the Creon? 1804 01:33:01,520 --> 01:33:05,520 Is Missus Josty with you? No, no, this is purely a 1805 01:33:05,520 --> 01:33:08,320 business trip. Old Man Mccall's been having a 1806 01:33:08,320 --> 01:33:11,240 little trouble with our wine merchant, or rather with the 1807 01:33:11,240 --> 01:33:13,480 shippers. I thought it was time I came 1808 01:33:13,480 --> 01:33:15,080 over myself and straightened things out. 1809 01:33:15,080 --> 01:33:16,920 The iron hand in the velvet glove. 1810 01:33:17,040 --> 01:33:19,000 Yes, we also had it a long time ago. 1811 01:33:20,440 --> 01:33:23,280 Well, if you'll excuse me, Missus Temple, of course. 1812 01:33:23,480 --> 01:33:25,440 I hope we shall meet again sometime. 1813 01:33:25,800 --> 01:33:28,320 You must tell your husband to bring you around to the flat 1 1814 01:33:28,320 --> 01:33:30,880 evening.

Did she recover from her 1817 01:33:34,760 --> 01:33:36,040 journey? Oh. 1818 01:33:36,040 --> 01:33:38,600 Yes, yes, She's much better now, thank you. 1819 01:33:38,600 --> 01:33:40,200 Much better. Have a good time. 1820 01:33:40,200 --> 01:33:42,080 Goodbye Missus Temple, so nice to have met you. 1821 01:33:42,080 --> 01:33:44,720 Goodbye. Goodbye old man, Goodbye Drosty. 1822 01:33:46,440 --> 01:33:49,520 Oh, I wouldn't trust that man an inch, old man. 1823 01:33:49,640 --> 01:33:52,800 Trust him. Yes, I wouldn't trust him as far 1824 01:33:52,800 --> 01:33:56,640 as I could throw him. Why are you laughing? 1825 01:33:57,400 --> 01:34:00,600 Just laughing at what you said. But if I'm not trusting, lost. 1826 01:34:01,520 --> 01:34:04,480 Yes. Oh well, perhaps it's lack of 1827 01:34:04,480 --> 01:34:06,480 humour on my part. I don't think it's as funny as 1828 01:34:06,520 --> 01:34:08,120 all. That I think it was. 1829 01:34:08,680 --> 01:34:11,320 I think it was very funny. Come on, let's go back to the 1830 01:34:11,320 --> 01:34:22,160 home. Good afternoon, Mikey, please. 1831 01:34:22,320 --> 01:34:26,080 Certainly, Monsieur. Oh, there is a note for you, Mr 1832 01:34:26,080 --> 01:34:28,240 Temple. It is from your friend the 1833 01:34:28,240 --> 01:34:30,080 gentleman. He sees 0 cat. 1834 01:34:30,160 --> 01:34:35,400 Oh, thank you. What is it called? 1835 01:34:35,480 --> 01:34:37,480 It's from Sir Graham, he wants us to meet him for drinks at 1836 01:34:37,480 --> 01:34:38,920 6:00. Yeah. 1837 01:34:39,080 --> 01:34:45,160 No, it says Cafe Deco. Excuse me? 1838 01:34:45,520 --> 01:34:47,840 Monsieur. Do you know the Cafe Dico? 1839 01:34:48,040 --> 01:34:51,520 Why, yes, Monsieur, it is on the corner of the wimpy guile and 1840 01:34:51,520 --> 01:34:54,080 the refotain. You can't mistake it, Monsieur, 1841 01:34:54,320 --> 01:34:56,080 It's right on the corner. Thank you. 1842 01:34:58,000 --> 01:34:59,720 Come on, we'll have a rest first. 1843 01:34:59,720 --> 01:35:13,760 Let's go to our room. Oh, this is it, Steve. 1844 01:35:14,320 --> 01:35:17,440 Well, it doesn't say Cafe Dico. Oh yes it does. 1845 01:35:18,320 --> 01:35:21,360 You look worn out. Thank you, don't look any too 1846 01:35:21,360 --> 01:35:23,760 good yourself. We should have taken a taxi. 1847 01:35:23,960 --> 01:35:27,720 Or a helicopter traffic. I thought we'd never get across 1848 01:35:27,720 --> 01:35:28,200 the. Road. 1849 01:35:28,320 --> 01:35:32,360 Oh, let's sit here. It's 6:15. 1850 01:35:32,360 --> 01:35:36,120 We're late. I don't see any signs of the 1851 01:35:36,120 --> 01:35:38,840 Graham. No, neither do I. 1852 01:35:39,640 --> 01:35:41,640 You stay here, Steve. I'll have a look in the. 1853 01:35:41,720 --> 01:35:42,480 Fire. All right. 1854 01:35:43,840 --> 01:35:47,280 Could you see a? Little. 1855 01:35:48,000 --> 01:35:58,000 Madam Oh.

No, he's not inside. 1874 01:36:41,520 --> 01:36:43,160 I've ordered you a Brandy. No thanks. 1875 01:36:45,240 --> 01:36:46,760 I like this place, Paul, don't you? 1876 01:36:47,120 --> 01:36:50,480 It's certainly attractive. It's good, too near the curb for 1877 01:36:50,480 --> 01:36:52,840 my liking. Oh I adore these open air cafes. 1878 01:36:55,240 --> 01:36:57,920 Well. She'll know you again. 1879 01:36:58,000 --> 01:36:59,720 Who? That woman over there in the 1880 01:36:59,720 --> 01:37:01,760 corner? The one in the red dress. 1881 01:37:03,320 --> 01:37:06,320 Timothy, she does know me. It's Missus Trusty. 1882 01:37:06,320 --> 01:37:08,560 What? Are you sure? 1883 01:37:08,600 --> 01:37:12,040 I'm pretty sure. Trusty said she wasn't in Paris. 1884 01:37:12,080 --> 01:37:15,200 Yes, I know what Trusty said, but that's his wife or I'm a 1885 01:37:15,200 --> 01:37:17,520 Dutchman. What are you going to do? 1886 01:37:17,520 --> 01:37:22,840 Wait here, Steve. Oh, hello, Missus Josty. 1887 01:37:22,840 --> 01:37:25,000 How nice to see you again. I beg your pardon? 1888 01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:27,360 I saw you looking at me. I couldn't place you at 3rd. 1889 01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:30,760 It is Missus Josty, isn't it? I'm Paul Temple. 1890 01:37:30,760 --> 01:37:34,200 Do you remember? Oh yes, now I remember. 1891 01:37:34,800 --> 01:37:36,440 I knew I'd seen you somewhere before. 1892 01:37:36,760 --> 01:37:40,080 Are you alone? Yes, but I'm expecting you 1893 01:37:40,080 --> 01:37:41,480 somewhere. But look here, I've got my wife 1894 01:37:41,480 --> 01:37:43,000 with me. Why don't you join us until your 1895 01:37:43,000 --> 01:37:45,600 friend turns up? Jeez, don't think me rude, Mr 1896 01:37:45,600 --> 01:37:48,400 Temple, but I I won't if you don't mind. 1897 01:37:48,880 --> 01:37:51,440 Of course. Oh, by the way, I saw your 1898 01:37:51,440 --> 01:37:54,560 husband this morning where we were having lunch and he came in 1899 01:37:54,560 --> 01:37:57,160 with Mr McCall. You mean you you saw him here in 1900 01:37:57,160 --> 01:37:58,080 Paris? Yeah, he is. 1901 01:37:58,080 --> 01:38:01,480 But I can't believe it. You're joking. 1902 01:38:01,480 --> 01:38:03,760 No, I spoke to him. He told me that he was over here 1903 01:38:03,760 --> 01:38:05,800 on business. My husband's not in Paris. 1904 01:38:06,440 --> 01:38:10,120 I'm sure he's not Unless. Well come on Missus Jasti, come 1905 01:38:10,120 --> 01:38:13,480 and have a drink with us. Well, it's very nice of you. 1906 01:38:13,480 --> 01:38:14,600 Thank. You. 1907 01:38:18,720 --> 01:38:20,960 Steve, this is Missus Josty. Oh, how do you do? 1908 01:38:21,000 --> 01:38:23,120 How do you do? Sit down. 1909 01:38:23,560 --> 01:38:26,440 Thank you. I was just telling Missus Josty 1910 01:38:26,440 --> 01:38:28,600 that we saw her husband this morning with Bill McCall. 1911 01:38:28,640 --> 01:38:30,080 Yes, he did. Oh. 1912 01:38:31,120 --> 01:38:32,680 How long has McCall worked your husband? 1913 01:38:33,080 --> 01:38:36,800 Oh, quite a while now. We made him down at Marlow. 1914 01:38:37,120 --> 01:38:38,920 He seems a very amiable sort of person. 1915 01:38:39,160 --> 01:38:41,960 Yes, I I think he is. Well, what would you like to 1916 01:38:41,960 --> 01:38:44,160 drink? May I have an absence? 1917 01:38:45,040 --> 01:38:50,320 Yes, yes, of course, Mr Temple. Yes. 1918 01:38:51,360 --> 01:38:53,840 I wonder if you do me a favour. Well, what is it? 1919 01:38:54,320 --> 01:38:57,640 If by any chance you see my husband again in Paris, I mean, 1920 01:38:58,160 --> 01:39:00,400 please don't mention that you saw me here. 1921 01:39:00,880 --> 01:39:03,920 You see, yes, I've got a friend here in in Paris. 1922 01:39:04,400 --> 01:39:06,720 We've been seeing rather a lot of each other just recently. 1923 01:39:07,080 --> 01:39:10,720 And my husband, No. Well, I don't want to bore you 1924 01:39:10,720 --> 01:39:14,960 with a lot of personal details, but, well, Philip and I hadn't 1925 01:39:14,960 --> 01:39:17,160 been hitting it off too well lately. 1926 01:39:17,640 --> 01:39:21,640 We've been getting on one another's nerves so much that I 1927 01:39:21,640 --> 01:39:23,760 suggested that we separate it for a little while. 1928 01:39:23,920 --> 01:39:27,680 I see this friend of yours, Missus Josie, what's his name? 1929 01:39:28,400 --> 01:39:31,000 I'm sorry, I'd rather not tell you if you don't mind. 1930 01:39:31,080 --> 01:39:33,480 It isn't Marie by any chance. Charles Marie. 1931 01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:35,840 I know. So surprised. 1932 01:39:35,840 --> 01:39:37,720 You know Marie. He runs the shop in the Rue 1933 01:39:37,720 --> 01:39:39,600 Saint Lazare, the little place where you bought your glove. 1934 01:39:39,600 --> 01:39:40,960 I. Don't know what you're talking 1935 01:39:41,000 --> 01:39:42,720 about. Come, Mrs Justy, you know 1936 01:39:42,720 --> 01:39:44,320 perfectly well what I'm talking about. 1937 01:39:44,840 --> 01:39:46,320 No. Thank you. 1938 01:39:47,240 --> 01:39:49,400 Now bring it up S please. Certainly this year. 1939 01:39:50,280 --> 01:39:52,640 Are those your papers? No, of course they're not. 1940 01:39:52,720 --> 01:39:54,960 Well, we'll put them there. A man left him. 1941 01:39:54,960 --> 01:39:56,520 He said he'd be back in a few moments. 1942 01:39:56,520 --> 01:39:58,480 But he can't leave his newspapers like that one. 1943 01:39:58,480 --> 01:39:59,240 One of our. Tables. 1944 01:39:59,240 --> 01:40:00,400 What you mean he can't? He has. 1945 01:40:00,800 --> 01:40:02,560 I'll take them inside. Just a moment. 1946 01:40:02,840 --> 01:40:04,960 Monsieur. Did he put them down there, 1947 01:40:04,960 --> 01:40:07,440 Steve on the table? Yes, you saw him, Paul, the man 1948 01:40:07,440 --> 01:40:09,280 I told you about. Man with the postcards. 1949 01:40:09,280 --> 01:40:12,440 It's very odd that he should leave a bunch of newspaper no 1950 01:40:12,440 --> 01:40:13,920 don't touch. Them I'll take them inside. 1951 01:40:13,920 --> 01:40:15,720 Don't touch them. We shall leave the table. 1952 01:40:15,920 --> 01:40:26,680 Put them down, your fool all. Right, Missus trusted. 1953 01:40:26,840 --> 01:40:28,200 Hold her head. Quickly give. 1954 01:40:29,160 --> 01:40:29,920 Me. Your handkerchief. 1955 01:40:31,640 --> 01:40:33,520 She's in a pretty bad way, Steve. 1956 01:40:34,120 --> 01:40:36,400 Castle, bring a doctor quickly, quickly. 1957 01:40:37,000 --> 01:40:39,080 Once Monsieur, there is the doctor is the campaign. 1958 01:40:39,400 --> 01:40:41,880 What happened with the papers placed there deliberately? 1959 01:40:41,880 --> 01:40:43,840 Yes, there was a catch bomb underneath. 1960 01:40:44,000 --> 01:40:46,240 The moment the papers were moved, the bomb exploded. 1961 01:40:46,720 --> 01:40:48,680 But I, I think this is the doctor. 1962 01:40:49,520 --> 01:41:09,080 Whoever examines the dam. What time is it? 1963 01:41:09,240 --> 01:41:11,880 Time we were making a move, I expect our American friends 1964 01:41:11,880 --> 01:41:15,080 waiting for us with his taxi. Don't let's go, Paul, until 1965 01:41:15,080 --> 01:41:17,000 we've heard from Sir Graham. All right, but he promised to 1966 01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:19,080 fencer at 9:00. It's now 9:45. 1967 01:41:21,560 --> 01:41:25,200 Paul, I'm. Sure, I'd recognise that man 1968 01:41:25,200 --> 01:41:27,160 again. The man who planted the bomb. 1969 01:41:27,240 --> 01:41:29,520 You probably would if you saw him looking exactly the same, 1970 01:41:30,120 --> 01:41:32,640 but would you recognise him if he was washed and shaved all 1971 01:41:32,640 --> 01:41:33,960 spruced up? That's the point. 1972 01:41:34,680 --> 01:41:37,080 I think so. Was he a Frenchman, do you 1973 01:41:37,080 --> 01:41:39,120 think? No, I don't think he was. 1974 01:41:39,720 --> 01:41:43,080 He spoke English with an accent, but it seemed to me German or 1975 01:41:43,520 --> 01:41:47,120 possibly Swiss. Have you stopped to think what 1976 01:41:47,120 --> 01:41:48,720 really happened this evening, Steve? 1977 01:41:49,360 --> 01:41:52,440 Someone sent us a note which was supposed to be from Sir Graham 1978 01:41:52,760 --> 01:41:55,080 and made a date for us at the Cafe Decor. 1979 01:41:56,280 --> 01:41:59,160 Now it's my bet that whoever sent that note also sent 1 to 1980 01:41:59,160 --> 01:42:01,560 Missus Josty and. They intended to kill three 1981 01:42:01,560 --> 01:42:04,640 birds with one stone. Now if we can find out from 1982 01:42:04,640 --> 01:42:07,280 Missus Josty who precisely she expected to see at the cafe, 1983 01:42:07,280 --> 01:42:09,600 then we might get somewhere. Oh, there's. 1984 01:42:12,800 --> 01:42:14,120 The phone. Is that your? 1985 01:42:14,120 --> 01:42:15,080 Temple. Yeah, it's a Graham. 1986 01:42:15,080 --> 01:42:16,800 Where are you? We're still at the hospital. 1987 01:42:16,800 --> 01:42:18,880 Oh. I'm sorry I'm late in ferning, 1988 01:42:18,960 --> 01:42:20,280 but things have been pretty hectic. 1989 01:42:20,520 --> 01:42:23,240 How's Missus Josty? Still unconscious, but they 1990 01:42:23,280 --> 01:42:24,520 don't seem to think there's much hope. 1991 01:42:25,280 --> 01:42:27,640 We're holding on just in case. What about Josty? 1992 01:42:27,640 --> 01:42:28,480 Have you found him yet?

You can't suppose somebody came 2033 01:45:02,080 --> 01:45:03,240 along. You have to take that chance. 2034 01:45:03,240 --> 01:45:05,240 You stand on guard. Stand over there, Steve, near 2035 01:45:05,240 --> 01:45:07,600 the lift. If you see anyone, whistle Rule 2036 01:45:07,600 --> 01:45:09,120 Britannia.

Well, this is usually the trick, 2042 01:45:39,880 --> 01:45:46,280 but it looks to me as if it's done it good. 2043 01:45:49,320 --> 01:45:51,720 Shall I close the door? Yes, but don't latch it. 2044 01:45:55,360 --> 01:45:57,920 Where's the light? Alright man, it's all right. 2045 01:45:57,920 --> 01:46:02,680 I've got it.

I think they've cleared the 2113 01:50:38,880 --> 01:50:40,680 line. Paul, I don't know whether you 2114 01:50:40,680 --> 01:50:42,720 realise, but you're standing right in front of the window. 2115 01:50:43,160 --> 01:50:45,000 What did you say? You're standing right in front 2116 01:50:45,000 --> 01:50:47,240 of the window. It looks to me as if the phone's 2117 01:50:47,240 --> 01:50:49,520 been moved. I believe you're right, Steve. 2118 01:50:49,840 --> 01:50:52,000 Surely it ought to be over here on this table. 2119 01:50:52,000 --> 01:50:54,440 Yes, this does seem a silly place for a telephone. 2120 01:50:54,440 --> 01:51:02,120 And the flex is stretched. Keep back, Steve, it's only my 2121 01:51:02,160 --> 01:51:03,800 arm. Paul, let me. 2122 01:51:04,040 --> 01:51:19,290 Keep away from the window. Is he all right, Sir Graham? 2123 01:51:19,880 --> 01:51:22,120 Steve, I thought you left the hospital ages ago. 2124 01:51:22,120 --> 01:51:25,000 But I did go back to the hotel. But is it going to be all right? 2125 01:51:25,880 --> 01:51:29,120 Temple, you better ask him yourself. 2126 01:51:31,360 --> 01:51:36,680 What do you mean, Timothy? Steve, I must do this more 2127 01:51:36,680 --> 01:51:37,640 often. Pull your arm. 2128 01:51:38,160 --> 01:51:39,920 Is it serious? No, but it might have been. 2129 01:51:40,240 --> 01:51:41,800 I was lucky. As you suddenly were. 2130 01:51:41,960 --> 01:51:43,520 It hadn't been for Steve. I should have had it. 2131 01:51:44,360 --> 01:51:46,320 Incidentally, where was our sharpshooting friend? 2132 01:51:46,320 --> 01:51:47,560 On the roof opposite. Yes. 2133 01:51:47,560 --> 01:51:49,880 I mean, he must have been Temple, but the place was 2134 01:51:49,880 --> 01:51:51,240 deserted by the time we got there. 2135 01:51:51,240 --> 01:51:53,560 Mr Graham, did you find out about the flat? 2136 01:51:53,600 --> 01:51:58,240 Yes, it belongs to Marie. Marie, the man from the glove 2137 01:51:58,240 --> 01:52:00,160 shop that Paul found dead in the bedroom. 2138 01:52:00,200 --> 01:52:03,800 Yes, it was Marie who sent us to the Bouvard seminar. 2139 01:52:04,120 --> 01:52:07,160 If if he got anything to say to us, why didn't you say it in 2140 01:52:07,160 --> 01:52:07,720 the? Shop. 2141 01:52:07,920 --> 01:52:11,080 Yes, I knew. Steve, the phone call, I noticed 2142 01:52:11,120 --> 01:52:13,800 the trick to get Paul in front of the window, but do you think 2143 01:52:13,800 --> 01:52:15,480 it was a genuine call from London? 2144 01:52:15,600 --> 01:52:21,200 No, it was a fake Steve. I didn't kill A1 but a fake. 2145 01:52:21,200 --> 01:52:23,200 As a matter of fact, I had my suspicions about that. 2146 01:52:23,200 --> 01:52:25,160 Oh, now? Come off and talk. 2147 01:52:25,520 --> 01:52:27,560 He fell for it. Hook, line and. 2148 01:52:27,840 --> 01:52:31,440 Sinker when you're going back to London. 2149 01:52:31,560 --> 01:52:32,760 We're flying back tomorrow morning. 2150 01:52:33,480 --> 01:52:35,200 Oh, I hope you don't mind the Graham. 2151 01:52:35,200 --> 01:52:37,160 I've sent Inspector Eden a cable. 2152 01:52:37,800 --> 01:52:38,680 Cable. What about? 2153 01:52:39,000 --> 01:52:42,040 About that doll, you remember Palmer spoke to me about it, He 2154 01:52:42,040 --> 01:52:43,160 said the little girl was asking for. 2155 01:52:43,160 --> 01:52:45,680 It Oh yes, yes, I don't. Know well I've asked Eden to 2156 01:52:45,680 --> 01:52:47,320 send it around to my flat. Why? 2157 01:52:48,000 --> 01:52:50,520 Well, with your permission, I'd rather like to give it back to 2158 01:52:50,520 --> 01:52:52,680 Palmer. It isn't much use of the yard, 2159 01:52:52,680 --> 01:52:54,360 is it? I can't say it's much use to 2160 01:52:54,360 --> 01:52:56,200 Palmer. Well, it's not intended for 2161 01:52:56,200 --> 01:52:59,200 Palmer. Not exactly the little girl. 2162 01:53:00,680 --> 01:53:01,960 What about Mary? Sir Graham? 2163 01:53:02,320 --> 01:53:04,080 Have the French people any idea who murdered him? 2164 01:53:04,160 --> 01:53:06,800 No, they've been over the apartment with a fine tooth 2165 01:53:06,800 --> 01:53:09,680 comb, but I'm afraid they've drawn a black. 2166 01:53:09,920 --> 01:53:12,720 Yes, but I don't think they'll have to look very far. 2167 01:53:13,200 --> 01:53:15,560 What do you mean? But isn't it obvious who 2168 01:53:15,560 --> 01:53:17,320 murdered Mary? Not to me it isn't. 2169 01:53:18,040 --> 01:53:21,480 Who are you thinking of, Rosty? Rosty or Bill McCall? 2170 01:53:22,000 --> 01:53:24,120 It's obvious that Missus Rost has been having an affair with 2171 01:53:24,120 --> 01:53:26,720 Marie. Rosty found out and either 2172 01:53:26,720 --> 01:53:28,920 murdered Marie himself or got McCall to do it. 2173 01:53:29,840 --> 01:53:31,040 How does that strike you as a gramme? 2174 01:53:31,440 --> 01:53:35,840 Well, it's it's quite a theory. So all you have to do is pick up 2175 01:53:35,880 --> 01:53:37,960 rosty. We have he was staying at a 2176 01:53:37,960 --> 01:53:40,440 small hotel near the Blvd Osman. Where is he now? 2177 01:53:40,680 --> 01:53:43,000 So far as I know, he's here at the hospital with his wife, 2178 01:53:43,720 --> 01:53:45,960 unless the police have taken them down the headquarters. 2179 01:53:46,000 --> 01:53:48,680 How is Mrs Dosti, by the way? She is still unconscious. 2180 01:53:49,200 --> 01:53:53,640 I gather it's a 5050. Chance I beg your pardon, Mr Mr 2181 01:53:53,640 --> 01:53:55,640 Dosti would like a word with you before he leaves. 2182 01:53:55,840 --> 01:53:57,840 He is in my office. Oh, thank you, Doctor. 2183 01:53:58,040 --> 01:53:59,720 Is there any change in Mrs Dosti? 2184 01:53:59,880 --> 01:54:02,440 She's still unconscious, but I feel a little more hopeful. 2185 01:54:02,480 --> 01:54:04,520 Oh, good. How is your arms? 2186 01:54:04,520 --> 01:54:06,440 You. Yes, it's, it's quite 2187 01:54:06,440 --> 01:54:07,080 comfortable. Thank you. 2188 01:54:07,480 --> 01:54:09,720 Remember what I told you? And don't forget to change the 2189 01:54:09,720 --> 01:54:11,440 dressing the moment you get back to London. 2190 01:54:11,640 --> 01:54:13,840 Don't worry, I shall not forget Doctor if he does. 2191 01:54:14,120 --> 01:54:16,160 Good. Well, come along, Temple, I 2192 01:54:16,160 --> 01:54:17,320 expect you'd like to have a word. 2193 01:54:17,920 --> 01:54:18,920 We shall be long. Steve. 2194 01:54:23,400 --> 01:54:25,360 That arm of yours doesn't look to a good temple. 2195 01:54:26,040 --> 01:54:27,360 Did that happen at the Cafe Deco? 2196 01:54:27,360 --> 01:54:29,560 No, I picked this up later in the evening. 2197 01:54:29,760 --> 01:54:32,720 Yeah, where? In the Blvd seminar, a gentleman 2198 01:54:32,720 --> 01:54:35,720 of somewhat doubtful ancestry took a part at me. 2199 01:54:35,760 --> 01:54:36,920 You mean someone tried to shoot you? 2200 01:54:37,240 --> 01:54:38,800 That was roughly the idea. Say A. 2201 01:54:39,360 --> 01:54:40,560 Thing that's happened to you, don't they? 2202 01:54:40,960 --> 01:54:42,760 You're nearly shot driving back from Marlow. 2203 01:54:42,760 --> 01:54:44,120 You have an excellent memory, McCall. 2204 01:54:45,880 --> 01:54:47,520 I'm awfully sorry about your wife, Trusty. 2205 01:54:47,520 --> 01:54:50,400 I do hope she'll be all right. Everyone is being most kind. 2206 01:54:50,400 --> 01:54:52,200 I'm sure there is nothing else that can be done. 2207 01:54:53,520 --> 01:54:55,840 I wanted to thank you, Sir Graham for getting in touch with 2208 01:54:55,840 --> 01:54:57,520 me. We had to get in touch with you 2209 01:54:57,600 --> 01:54:58,760 roster. Oh. 2210 01:54:59,560 --> 01:55:03,280 I'm not speaking as a police official at the moment, but 2211 01:55:03,280 --> 01:55:06,520 there are certain things which you ought to know under the 2212 01:55:06,520 --> 01:55:08,760 circumstances. What things? 2213 01:55:08,760 --> 01:55:11,880 What do you mean? Well, for instance, but you're 2214 01:55:11,880 --> 01:55:15,160 suspected of being responsible for the murder of Monsieur Mary 2215 01:55:15,760 --> 01:55:17,640 Mary. Yes, Charles Mary. 2216 01:55:18,560 --> 01:55:21,920 He had a glove shop on the Rousseau Raza and an apartment 2217 01:55:21,920 --> 01:55:24,160 on the Blvd Seminar. I don't even know anyone called 2218 01:55:24,160 --> 01:55:26,560 Mary, so why should anyone suspect me of murdering him? 2219 01:55:27,360 --> 01:55:29,680 Why did you come to Paris, Dusty, in the 1st place? 2220 01:55:30,120 --> 01:55:33,520 I told you why on business. I had to see a wine merchant. 2221 01:55:33,560 --> 01:55:35,520 You can check it if you like. Thanks for the police. 2222 01:55:35,520 --> 01:55:37,760 Well anyway, here's the name of the firm. 2223 01:55:38,200 --> 01:55:41,360 Renoir A Pupu 250 Roux Championee. 2224 01:55:42,080 --> 01:55:44,240 Dusty, I want you to listen very carefully. 2225 01:55:44,800 --> 01:55:49,120 Well, when I came to your flat, your wife dropped a pair of 2226 01:55:49,120 --> 01:55:51,080 gloves. You remember when she fainted? 2227 01:55:51,560 --> 01:55:54,400 Yes, I remember when I picked up the gloves, and on the inside of 2228 01:55:54,400 --> 01:55:58,800 one of them was a small tab with the name Charles Marie. 173 Rue 2229 01:55:58,800 --> 01:56:00,360 Saint Lazare, Paris. So. 2230 01:56:00,360 --> 01:56:03,520 But without going into details, that address had a certain 2231 01:56:03,520 --> 01:56:05,920 significance. In fact, it wasn't the first 2232 01:56:05,920 --> 01:56:07,440 time I'd heard of Monsieur Marie. 2233 01:56:08,200 --> 01:56:10,880 Go on. This morning my wife and I went 2234 01:56:10,880 --> 01:56:13,840 to the shop in the Rue Saint Lazare and when we produced a 2235 01:56:13,840 --> 01:56:18,280 certain glove not unlike Missus Dostis, Monsieur Mary directed 2236 01:56:18,280 --> 01:56:23,360 us to 29 Blvd Seminar and told us to ask for a Mr Palmer. 2237 01:56:24,120 --> 01:56:26,760 Palmer. The name strikes a chord. 2238 01:56:27,600 --> 01:56:31,880 Well, wasn't it someone called Palmer who was supposed to have 2239 01:56:31,880 --> 01:56:33,800 left the Natasha case at the Commodore Club? 2240 01:56:33,800 --> 01:56:38,040 It was indeed Well. When we arrived at the flat on 2241 01:56:38,040 --> 01:56:42,440 the Blvd seminar, there was no sign of a Mr Palmer, but there 2242 01:56:42,440 --> 01:56:44,840 was the dead body of Charles Marie. 2243 01:56:45,760 --> 01:56:47,440 It was not, I assure you were pretty sighted. 2244 01:56:47,800 --> 01:56:49,720 So what? Mr Drost has already told you 2245 01:56:49,720 --> 01:56:51,960 that he didn't even know Mary. So what's all this about? 2246 01:56:51,960 --> 01:56:56,080 Wait a moment, my call. Forgive me old man, perhaps I am 2247 01:56:56,080 --> 01:56:58,760 a little dense, but why are you telling me this? 2248 01:56:58,880 --> 01:57:00,200 Because we want you to know the facts. 2249 01:57:00,200 --> 01:57:01,680 The police haven't finished with you, Drosty. 2250 01:57:01,680 --> 01:57:02,880 There'll be a lot more questions. 2251 01:57:02,880 --> 01:57:04,280 Mr Drosty is not frightened of the police. 2252 01:57:04,280 --> 01:57:07,360 Why should I be? Well, supposing the police 2253 01:57:07,360 --> 01:57:11,280 believe that your wife was in love with Charles Mary, That you 2254 01:57:11,280 --> 01:57:13,960 came to Paris with the intention of murdering both your wife and 2255 01:57:13,960 --> 01:57:17,640 I love her, That your first attempt was at the Cafe Deco and 2256 01:57:17,640 --> 01:57:21,400 having missed Mary at the Cafe, you made a second and successful 2257 01:57:21,400 --> 01:57:26,240 attempt at the flat. Is that what the police really 2258 01:57:26,240 --> 01:57:28,040 think? It's a possibility you've got to 2259 01:57:28,040 --> 01:57:29,960 face. Well, what would your answer be 2260 01:57:29,960 --> 01:57:34,280 to such an accusation? There's only one possible 2261 01:57:34,280 --> 01:57:36,080 answer. The truth. 2262 01:57:37,880 --> 01:57:40,560 You're quite right, Temple. I didn't come to Paris on 2263 01:57:40,560 --> 01:57:44,040 business. I came to find my wife and try 2264 01:57:44,040 --> 01:57:46,240 to reason with her. Be quiet, McCall. 2265 01:57:46,240 --> 01:57:48,720 I know what I'm saying. Look. 2266 01:57:49,000 --> 01:57:51,200 You've been very frank with me and I'm going to be equally 2267 01:57:51,200 --> 01:57:55,080 frank with you. Yesterday my wife told me that 2268 01:57:55,080 --> 01:57:57,560 she was in love with Mary and that she wanted a divorce. 2269 01:57:58,680 --> 01:58:00,800 Before we had time to discuss the matter, she walked out of 2270 01:58:00,800 --> 01:58:03,840 the flat. McCall and I decided to come to 2271 01:58:03,840 --> 01:58:08,560 Paris and well try and persuade her to change her mind. 2272 01:58:08,760 --> 01:58:12,680 Is that your version, McCall? Sure, we gain a Paris to find 2273 01:58:12,680 --> 01:58:15,360 Missus Drusty and shake some sense under this character Mary, 2274 01:58:15,360 --> 01:58:16,720 but we just couldn't find the guy. 2275 01:58:16,760 --> 01:58:18,520 And you didn't go to the Blvd seminar? 2276 01:58:18,520 --> 01:58:20,800 Why should we? Isn't that obvious to see, Mary? 2277 01:58:21,000 --> 01:58:23,600 But we didn't know Mary lived in the Blvd seminar. 2278 01:58:23,600 --> 01:58:26,040 We tried to find his private address of Graham, but 2279 01:58:26,040 --> 01:58:30,200 unfortunately, or fortunately perhaps, we were unsuccessful. 2280 01:58:31,360 --> 01:58:34,080 I see. McCall Yeah. 2281 01:58:35,400 --> 01:58:37,800 Have you seen this cigarette light time before? 2282 01:58:38,600 --> 01:58:39,640 I see one like and. Why? 2283 01:58:40,480 --> 01:58:43,880 You sure it isn't yours? Of course I'm sure got mine here 2284 01:58:43,880 --> 01:58:46,720 in my pock. Well. 2285 01:58:47,800 --> 01:58:50,400 That's funny, I could have sworn it. 2286 01:58:52,040 --> 01:58:53,080 So can I have a look at that lighter? 2287 01:58:53,320 --> 01:58:56,440 Certainly. Well. 2288 01:58:57,600 --> 01:59:00,360 Is it yours, Michael? Yes, it is. 2289 01:59:01,560 --> 01:59:03,160 Where did you get it? I found it. 2290 01:59:03,600 --> 01:59:06,760 Where? In the flat on the Blvd seminar 2291 01:59:06,760 --> 01:59:29,250 by the body of Charles Marie. Now, careful, Steve, Careful. 2292 01:59:30,010 --> 01:59:33,250 Don't be stupid, I've got to get this sticking plaster off your 2293 01:59:33,250 --> 01:59:34,370 arm. Yes, darling, but you don't have 2294 01:59:34,370 --> 01:59:36,130 to pull it off. But that's precisely what I have 2295 01:59:36,200 --> 01:59:38,200 you have to do. The doctor said the best thing 2296 01:59:38,200 --> 01:59:40,160 was to get hold of the plaster and give it a very quick. 2297 01:59:40,280 --> 01:59:41,680 Touch. Never mind what the doctor said. 2298 01:59:41,680 --> 01:59:49,760 It's my arm, remember? Not his gods. 2299 01:59:49,800 --> 01:59:51,880 If this was in one of your novels, the detective would be 2300 01:59:51,880 --> 01:59:54,200 sitting back with a firm, determined expression on his 2301 01:59:54,200 --> 01:59:55,960 face. You wouldn't flinch an inch. 2302 01:59:55,960 --> 01:59:57,400 Well. It isn't in one of my novels, so 2303 01:59:57,400 --> 02:00:00,000 just remove the plaster darling. If you can manage to leave a 2304 02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:02,040 particle of skin, I should be very grateful. 2305 02:00:02,120 --> 02:00:03,520 Now look, just a minute. Now. 2306 02:00:04,160 --> 02:00:07,000 Now, does that hurt? Yes, I haven't started yet. 2307 02:00:07,160 --> 02:00:08,840 Subconscious. Subconscious. 2308 02:00:09,000 --> 02:00:13,240 My food now. Steve. 2309 02:00:13,480 --> 02:00:16,320 It's off and you never felt a thing, did you? 2310 02:00:17,320 --> 02:00:20,480 Would you mind passing my dressing gown, Miss Nightingale? 2311 02:00:21,760 --> 02:00:23,880 Excuse me, Sir. Here's Charlie. 2312 02:00:23,920 --> 02:00:25,560 Inspector Eden's here, Sir. Oh. 2313 02:00:25,640 --> 02:00:26,560 Oh. Hello, Inspector. 2314 02:00:26,560 --> 02:00:27,400 Come in. Thank you. 2315 02:00:28,040 --> 02:00:29,480 Good afternoon, Missus Temple. Good afternoon. 2316 02:00:30,000 --> 02:00:31,720 You have a nice trip back. Thank you. 2317 02:00:32,120 --> 02:00:34,600 My husband's arm was a bit troublesome, but apart from that 2318 02:00:34,600 --> 02:00:36,200 it was excellent. Well, yes, I was sorry to hear 2319 02:00:36,200 --> 02:00:38,160 about your arm. I hope it's going along all 2320 02:00:38,160 --> 02:00:39,920 right. I'm in good hands, Inspector. 2321 02:00:41,000 --> 02:00:42,040 Tell me if you heard. Was Graham. 2322 02:00:42,440 --> 02:00:44,840 He was on the phone about an hour ago with you back tonight. 2323 02:00:44,920 --> 02:00:46,040 I suppose he told you all the news. 2324 02:00:46,080 --> 02:00:48,840 Yes. Oh, by the way, the French 2325 02:00:48,840 --> 02:00:50,680 people have released Rostia McCall. 2326 02:00:50,680 --> 02:00:54,080 Oh, you thought they'd hold him? Yes, I did. 2327 02:00:54,760 --> 02:00:57,000 Well, apparently the actual time of the Merit murder has been 2328 02:00:57,000 --> 02:00:59,520 established. I both Trustee and McCall have 2329 02:00:59,520 --> 02:01:02,640 produced an alibi. I guess it's pretty foolproof or 2330 02:01:02,640 --> 02:01:04,160 the French police wouldn't have released them. 2331 02:01:05,040 --> 02:01:07,160 And the cigarette lighter? Well, according to Sir Graham, 2332 02:01:07,160 --> 02:01:09,080 McCall still can't account for the lighter. 2333 02:01:10,680 --> 02:01:12,320 Oh, I've. I've brought the doll. 2334 02:01:12,960 --> 02:01:14,640 I understand you'd like to give it back to Missus Desmond. 2335 02:01:14,640 --> 02:01:17,280 Yes, if you've no objections. No, we've no objection. 2336 02:01:17,640 --> 02:01:19,240 We've finished with it at the yard going. 2337 02:01:19,840 --> 02:01:22,560 Now, tell me about Miss Medicine was not a great deal to tell. 2338 02:01:22,880 --> 02:01:25,760 She was picked out of the Thames at 4:00 on Tuesday morning. 2339 02:01:26,600 --> 02:01:28,760 According to Doctor Gillespie, she'd been dead the best part of 2340 02:01:28,760 --> 02:01:30,200 a week. Was she murdered? 2341 02:01:30,720 --> 02:01:32,200 Well, Gillespie wouldn't commit himself. 2342 02:01:33,000 --> 02:01:34,600 There aren't any signs of violence. 2343 02:01:34,920 --> 02:01:36,960 On the other hand, how did she get into the water in the 1st 2344 02:01:36,960 --> 02:01:40,200 place? Exactly who identified the body? 2345 02:01:40,480 --> 02:01:41,600 Shelley did. Shelley. 2346 02:01:41,720 --> 02:01:43,840 Yes. He was staying at Marla. 2347 02:01:44,040 --> 02:01:45,920 We sent for him as soon as the body was discovered. 2348 02:01:46,760 --> 02:01:49,960 Or after you left for Paris. I had to talk to Shelley, as a 2349 02:01:49,960 --> 02:01:52,240 matter of fact, he came along to the yard with that note he was 2350 02:01:52,240 --> 02:01:53,840 supposed to have received from Miss Millicent. 2351 02:01:53,840 --> 02:01:55,800 Yes, I know. Well, we checked the note, made 2352 02:01:55,800 --> 02:01:58,720 the usual tests, and we're convinced it was genuine. 2353 02:01:59,680 --> 02:02:01,920 Of course, it can't be. Not of Gillespie's right. 2354 02:02:02,160 --> 02:02:04,240 And Miss Millicent's been dead the best part of a week. 2355 02:02:04,760 --> 02:02:06,400 Was the note dated? No. 2356 02:02:07,000 --> 02:02:09,160 Well then how do you know that it wasn't written before she 2357 02:02:09,160 --> 02:02:11,640 died and posted later? It wasn't posted. 2358 02:02:11,640 --> 02:02:15,360 It was delivered by hand, and the ink test showed it was 2359 02:02:15,360 --> 02:02:17,600 written about 24 hours before Shelley received it. 2360 02:02:19,320 --> 02:02:22,400 Would you trust him, Inspector? I don't know. 2361 02:02:23,240 --> 02:02:25,040 I must imagine he's quite unreliable. 2362 02:02:25,200 --> 02:02:26,800 One thing, he's always chopping and changing. 2363 02:02:26,840 --> 02:02:28,720 How do you mean? Well, in the past 10 years he's 2364 02:02:28,720 --> 02:02:31,920 been an actor, a professional dancer and believe it or not, a 2365 02:02:31,920 --> 02:02:34,920 dress designer. Does he do very well out of his 2366 02:02:35,120 --> 02:02:37,480 mother's health Bureau or whatever he calls it? 2367 02:02:37,520 --> 02:02:40,000 He must do fairly well. He seems to get about quite a 2368 02:02:40,000 --> 02:02:42,000 lot and he's got this cottage down at Marlow. 2369 02:02:42,920 --> 02:02:44,840 I used to imagine he's got a private income. 2370 02:02:45,000 --> 02:02:48,160 Yes, Temple, I'll be meaning to ask you. 2371 02:02:48,160 --> 02:02:50,560 Yes, Charlie. Mr Palmer's here and Missus 2372 02:02:50,560 --> 02:02:52,160 Desmond. I've popped them into the 2373 02:02:52,160 --> 02:02:53,320 drawing room. Was that OK? 2374 02:02:53,400 --> 02:02:55,400 Yes, that's all right, Charlie. OK, Missus T. 2375 02:02:55,960 --> 02:02:57,240 Were you expecting Palmer? Yes. 2376 02:02:57,240 --> 02:02:59,720 He's called for the Darwin. Do you mind if I have a word 2377 02:02:59,720 --> 02:03:00,800 with him? No, No, of course not. 2378 02:03:01,120 --> 02:03:01,680 Come on. In fact. 2379 02:03:07,320 --> 02:03:09,480 It's very good if you let us have the doll back inspection. 2380 02:03:09,480 --> 02:03:10,920 Yes, it is. That's all right. 2381 02:03:10,920 --> 02:03:12,440 Let me finish with it. Of the yard. 2382 02:03:12,440 --> 02:03:13,960 There's no reason why the child shouldn't have it. 2383 02:03:14,360 --> 02:03:15,960 Susan will be delighted when she sees it. 2384 02:03:15,960 --> 02:03:17,320 Won't you, Terry? Yeah, she will indeed. 2385 02:03:17,320 --> 02:03:19,880 How is Susan? Oh she's fine, but I'm sure 2386 02:03:19,880 --> 02:03:22,240 she's been missing the doll. It's funny how some kids get 2387 02:03:22,240 --> 02:03:24,840 attached to things. I remember when I was a kid, I 2388 02:03:24,840 --> 02:03:26,960 had a kangaroo. I used to call it Corky. 2389 02:03:27,120 --> 02:03:30,680 We were quite a zebrable. I know I've asked you this 2390 02:03:30,680 --> 02:03:34,600 before, Mrs Desmond, but you're quite sure that this is the same 2391 02:03:34,600 --> 02:03:36,880 doll? Quite sure, Mr Palmer. 2392 02:03:36,880 --> 02:03:38,840 Tell me, do you know Marlo very well? 2393 02:03:38,920 --> 02:03:40,640 Marlo. Yes, you know, on the Thames 2394 02:03:40,640 --> 02:03:42,360 near Maidenhead. Yes, I've been there several 2395 02:03:42,360 --> 02:03:44,480 times recently. No, not recently. 2396 02:03:45,120 --> 02:03:46,640 Isn't that where you find Miss Millicent? 2397 02:03:46,880 --> 02:03:48,640 Yes. Oh, I see. 2398 02:03:48,760 --> 02:03:50,720 Well, I can assure you that you know a great deal more about the 2399 02:03:50,720 --> 02:03:53,160 murder than we do, Inspector. We didn't even know that Miss 2400 02:03:53,160 --> 02:03:54,760 Millicent been found. We read about it. 2401 02:03:55,080 --> 02:03:56,920 Isn't that so merry? Yes, of course. 2402 02:03:57,200 --> 02:03:59,680 It hasn't yet been established that Miss Millicent was 2403 02:03:59,680 --> 02:04:01,520 murdered. What do you mean? 2404 02:04:02,120 --> 02:04:03,760 Well, she was drowned, of course, but whether? 2405 02:04:03,760 --> 02:04:05,320 She was, of course, Miss Millicent was murdered. 2406 02:04:05,600 --> 02:04:08,560 She must have been no. Go on, Missus Desmond. 2407 02:04:09,520 --> 02:04:12,040 Well, she wasn't. What else could have happened? 2408 02:04:12,400 --> 02:04:13,760 She might have committed suicide. 2409 02:04:14,000 --> 02:04:16,280 You mean she kidnapped the babies, suddenly realised what 2410 02:04:16,280 --> 02:04:19,120 she'd done, returned the child and then committed suicide? 2411 02:04:19,120 --> 02:04:22,080 Yes, well, it's a possibility, I suppose. 2412 02:04:22,200 --> 02:04:24,400 And why was the doll delivered to the Commodore Club? 2413 02:04:24,680 --> 02:04:26,800 Why did Queenie Edwards go down to Marlow? 2414 02:04:26,960 --> 02:04:29,080 And who is this mysterious Mr Van Dyke? 2415 02:04:29,080 --> 02:04:31,000 What do you mean? Who is this mysterious Mr Van 2416 02:04:31,000 --> 02:04:32,120 Dyke? This is Desmond. 2417 02:04:32,120 --> 02:04:34,120 Got a telephone call from someone called Van Dyke the 2418 02:04:34,120 --> 02:04:35,960 night that Miss Millicent and the baby disappeared. 2419 02:04:36,080 --> 02:04:38,280 Yes, but you don't attach any significance to that. 2420 02:04:38,280 --> 02:04:40,280 Surely we attach a great deal of significance to it. 2421 02:04:41,080 --> 02:04:43,440 And there's something else I attach a great deal of 2422 02:04:43,440 --> 02:04:46,320 significance to what? This. 2423 02:04:46,320 --> 02:04:49,840 Glove. Forgive me if I'm a little 2424 02:04:49,840 --> 02:04:52,080 dense, but I don't quite see the point. 2425 02:04:52,080 --> 02:04:54,040 Well, you may remember that Missus Desmond dropped this 2426 02:04:54,040 --> 02:04:58,080 glove the night that the baby. I did, yes, but surely there's 2427 02:04:58,080 --> 02:05:00,160 some mistake that's not one of my gloves. 2428 02:05:00,160 --> 02:05:01,640 Oh, come now, Missus Desmond, please. 2429 02:05:01,760 --> 02:05:05,000 When did Mary drop that glove? The night that the baby was 2430 02:05:05,000 --> 02:05:07,400 returned. And to remember you saw us 2431 02:05:07,440 --> 02:05:09,640 outside the flat. We just returned from Marlow. 2432 02:05:09,920 --> 02:05:12,600 I remember seeing you outside the flat, and I remember ringing 2433 02:05:12,600 --> 02:05:14,440 you up about a glove that Mary had lost. 2434 02:05:14,720 --> 02:05:17,640 But that's not the one. How do you know it isn't? 2435 02:05:17,760 --> 02:05:19,720 Because shortly after I telephoned you, she found her 2436 02:05:19,720 --> 02:05:21,560 glove. Was in the car all the time, 2437 02:05:21,560 --> 02:05:24,160 down by the side of the seat. You don't expect me to believe 2438 02:05:24,160 --> 02:05:26,360 that, Palmer, do you? I don't see that. 2439 02:05:26,360 --> 02:05:28,440 It's awfully important. Whether you believe it or not, 2440 02:05:28,440 --> 02:05:30,840 it happens to be the truth. Look here, Palmer. 2441 02:05:31,400 --> 02:05:33,760 There's a tab inside this glove. It's got the address of the shop 2442 02:05:33,760 --> 02:05:36,640 where it was bought. Well, the address is 173 rue 2443 02:05:36,640 --> 02:05:37,840 Saint Lazare, Paris. But. 2444 02:05:38,480 --> 02:05:41,880 I've never been to Paris. Have you been to Paris, Mr 2445 02:05:41,880 --> 02:05:42,880 Palmer? Yes, of course I have. 2446 02:05:42,880 --> 02:05:44,120 Several times, as a matter of fact. 2447 02:05:44,120 --> 02:05:47,600 The last time I was there I stayed in the Rue St Lazar, but 2448 02:05:47,600 --> 02:05:50,760 I didn't buy Missus Desmond a pair of gloves if that's what 2449 02:05:50,760 --> 02:05:54,400 you're thinking. Missus Desmond, yes. 2450 02:05:55,000 --> 02:05:56,440 Would you mind trying the glove on? 2451 02:05:57,600 --> 02:05:59,920 Of course I wouldn't, providing I can get it on. 2452 02:06:00,440 --> 02:06:05,480 Looks very small to me. It's helpless. 2453 02:06:06,120 --> 02:06:08,960 It's far too small. I can't possibly get it on well. 2454 02:06:09,600 --> 02:06:11,520 Are you? Satisfied Temple. 2455 02:06:29,670 --> 02:06:31,710 Paul, who's put some coffee on the tablecloth. 2456 02:06:31,710 --> 02:06:33,510 No wonder I haven't spilled it all over my suit. 2457 02:06:33,830 --> 02:06:36,030 This bandage is far too tight. The Doctor. 2458 02:06:36,070 --> 02:06:37,830 Said he doesn't know what he's talking about. 2459 02:06:37,830 --> 02:06:40,270 I'm taking this Richard thing off this afternoon, Steve. 2460 02:06:40,270 --> 02:06:44,710 Doctor or no doctor, you. Really are the limit when you've 2461 02:06:44,710 --> 02:06:50,400 got anything the matter with Paul now, Do you think that Mrs 2462 02:06:50,400 --> 02:06:53,440 Desmond was telling the truth? Do you think that was her glass? 2463 02:06:53,520 --> 02:06:56,520 Yes, of course it was. Wellness, Didn't it fit? 2464 02:06:56,520 --> 02:06:58,960 For the simple reason I say isn't Charlie in. 2465 02:06:59,320 --> 02:07:01,400 Use as far as I know well. Then why on earth doesn't he 2466 02:07:01,400 --> 02:07:03,120 answer the door? Probably in the kitchen. 2467 02:07:03,280 --> 02:07:05,800 Probably asleep. Oh, you are in a mood this 2468 02:07:05,880 --> 02:07:07,600 morning. It's all right. 2469 02:07:07,840 --> 02:07:08,760 I love. Sorry. 2470 02:07:12,960 --> 02:07:14,800 Oh. Oh, good. 2471 02:07:14,840 --> 02:07:16,120 Good morning. Good morning. 2472 02:07:16,400 --> 02:07:18,840 Is Mr Temple in please? Yes, he is. 2473 02:07:19,040 --> 02:07:22,080 My name is Shelley. Do you think I could have a word 2474 02:07:22,080 --> 02:07:23,600 with Mr Temple? Well. 2475 02:07:23,600 --> 02:07:25,400 I know it's. Fractly annoying having callers 2476 02:07:25,400 --> 02:07:27,560 at this time of day, but it is important. 2477 02:07:27,640 --> 02:07:29,880 Oh. Well, love, won't you come in, 2478 02:07:29,960 --> 02:07:31,480 Mr Shelley? Oh, thank you very much. 2479 02:07:31,480 --> 02:07:34,760 Missus Temple it is. Missus Temple it is. 2480 02:07:36,600 --> 02:07:38,560 Hello, Shelley. You're up early. 2481 02:07:38,600 --> 02:07:41,360 It's very naughty of me to call around at this time, I know. 2482 02:07:41,360 --> 02:07:43,400 But I did so want to have a word with you. 2483 02:07:44,080 --> 02:07:45,520 Oh. Oh, hello. 2484 02:07:45,520 --> 02:07:47,640 Have you had an accident? Oh, yes. 2485 02:07:47,840 --> 02:07:49,680 Yes. Now come on, Shelley, sit down 2486 02:07:49,680 --> 02:07:51,280 and have some coffee and tell me what it's all about. 2487 02:07:51,280 --> 02:07:54,680 Oh, thanks. Well, I'm rather perturbed, Mr 2488 02:07:54,680 --> 02:07:55,760 Temple. Perturbed. 2489 02:07:56,640 --> 02:07:59,360 I don't know whether the police think I'm a suspicious character 2490 02:07:59,360 --> 02:08:03,400 or not, but really the questions they've been asking and my word, 2491 02:08:03,400 --> 02:08:05,880 aren't they incompetent? Oh well, I wouldn't say that, 2492 02:08:05,880 --> 02:08:08,520 Mister. Shelley, you know that note I 2493 02:08:08,520 --> 02:08:10,440 received that was supposed to have been written by Miss 2494 02:08:10,440 --> 02:08:11,120 Millicent? Yes. 2495 02:08:11,520 --> 02:08:13,120 Well, the police said it was genuine. 2496 02:08:13,120 --> 02:08:15,160 You said it was genuine. Yes, I know, but I'm not an 2497 02:08:15,160 --> 02:08:18,120 expert. I was talking to Inspector Eden 2498 02:08:18,120 --> 02:08:20,240 about that note. Oh, well, really? 2499 02:08:20,240 --> 02:08:22,560 He's the end. That man's an imbecile. 2500 02:08:22,760 --> 02:08:25,200 Take my advice and don't underestimate Inspector Eden, 2501 02:08:25,200 --> 02:08:26,960 Shelley. He's a very shrewd man. 2502 02:08:27,400 --> 02:08:30,560 You know, Mr Shelley, although that note wasn't written by Miss 2503 02:08:30,560 --> 02:08:33,560 Millicent, you can't dismiss it as being completely unimportant. 2504 02:08:34,120 --> 02:08:37,240 After all, it did reveal the identity of the murdered man. 2505 02:08:37,760 --> 02:08:40,560 The man at Marlow, I mean. I don't dismiss the note as 2506 02:08:40,560 --> 02:08:42,720 being unimportant, Mrs Temple, On the contrary. 2507 02:08:43,000 --> 02:08:45,440 But why? Why, for goodness sake, was it 2508 02:08:45,440 --> 02:08:47,400 sent to me? Isn't it obvious Why, No. 2509 02:08:47,720 --> 02:08:49,920 The person who wrote that note considered you an important 2510 02:08:49,920 --> 02:08:52,560 character in this affair and thought it worthwhile to send 2511 02:08:52,560 --> 02:08:55,320 you a friendly warning. What was it the note said? 2512 02:08:55,400 --> 02:08:59,120 And the man you met at Marlow, the man who called himself 2513 02:08:59,120 --> 02:09:03,600 Baker, was Harry the Wolf. Let that be a warning, Mr 2514 02:09:03,600 --> 02:09:05,000 Shelley. Yes, but a warning. 2515 02:09:05,000 --> 02:09:07,520 Against what? It isn't as if I knew that 2516 02:09:07,520 --> 02:09:09,040 fellow, the one that was murdered. 2517 02:09:09,080 --> 02:09:11,520 I I'd never set eyes on him until I met him at the words. 2518 02:09:11,680 --> 02:09:13,720 Surely, Supposing we get to the point, what exactly is it you 2519 02:09:13,720 --> 02:09:18,160 want to see me about? Well, go on, you. 2520 02:09:18,200 --> 02:09:20,120 You would probably think this is rather ridiculous. 2521 02:09:20,120 --> 02:09:23,000 But when I realised that Miss Millicent couldn't have written 2522 02:09:23,000 --> 02:09:25,720 the note, I began to wonder if the whole thing was some kind of 2523 02:09:25,720 --> 02:09:27,520 practical joke. Why should it be a practical 2524 02:09:27,520 --> 02:09:29,720 joke? Well, I've got a friend. 2525 02:09:29,960 --> 02:09:31,400 Marion Faber. The artist? 2526 02:09:31,760 --> 02:09:33,320 Yes. Do you know Marian? 2527 02:09:33,320 --> 02:09:35,240 No, but I've heard of her. She's a well known portrait 2528 02:09:35,240 --> 02:09:36,320 painter. That's right. 2529 02:09:37,160 --> 02:09:40,320 Didn't Miss Faber dine with you the night you invited Baker 2530 02:09:40,480 --> 02:09:42,560 Rather de Wolf to teach you Canasta? 2531 02:09:42,560 --> 02:09:45,280 Yes, that's right. She was at the cottage when 2532 02:09:45,280 --> 02:09:47,040 Baker telephoned to say he couldn't make it. 2533 02:09:47,040 --> 02:09:49,640 Well, go on. Well, you see, Marian's a 2534 02:09:49,640 --> 02:09:51,880 darling really. But, well, she has the most 2535 02:09:51,880 --> 02:09:55,600 malicious sense of humour and she adores practical jokes. 2536 02:09:55,920 --> 02:09:58,400 Oh, you're surely not suggesting that Miss Faber sent you that 2537 02:09:58,400 --> 02:10:00,000 note as a. Practical joke, but it's just 2538 02:10:00,000 --> 02:10:03,040 the sort of thing she would do. Besides, she knew I was worried 2539 02:10:03,040 --> 02:10:04,400 about the Miss Millicent business. 2540 02:10:04,480 --> 02:10:06,640 Yes, but what makes you think the Miss Faber could copy Miss 2541 02:10:06,640 --> 02:10:08,680 Millicent's handwriting? Oh, Marian could do that all 2542 02:10:08,680 --> 02:10:10,440 right. As a matter of fact, that's, 2543 02:10:10,640 --> 02:10:12,520 that's what put the whole idea into my head. 2544 02:10:12,520 --> 02:10:15,320 Really. Well, you see, she used to do 2545 02:10:15,320 --> 02:10:18,480 that sort of thing at parties. Copy people's handwriting. 2546 02:10:18,480 --> 02:10:20,840 I mean, she really is astonishingly good. 2547 02:10:20,840 --> 02:10:22,960 Yes, but how could you get hold of a sample of Miss Millicent's 2548 02:10:22,960 --> 02:10:24,680 handwriting? And how did you happen to know 2549 02:10:24,680 --> 02:10:27,880 the identity of the dead man, The wall, Exactly, Steve? 2550 02:10:28,280 --> 02:10:30,680 Oh dear, I'm afraid I never thought of that. 2551 02:10:31,760 --> 02:10:33,800 Where does Miss Faber live at Marlow? 2552 02:10:33,800 --> 02:10:36,160 No, at Bourne End. She's got a bungalow, a lovely 2553 02:10:36,160 --> 02:10:39,320 place. She's disgustingly rich. 2554 02:10:40,840 --> 02:10:43,000 Well, I think it might be a good idea if I had a word with her. 2555 02:10:43,040 --> 02:10:44,880 Oh, I doubt you can get much help from her. 2556 02:10:45,040 --> 02:10:47,640 The only time Marian feels like talking is when she's painting, 2557 02:10:47,640 --> 02:10:49,440 and then she certainly can matter. 2558 02:10:49,720 --> 02:10:51,480 All right, I'll make an appointment for a sitting. 2559 02:10:51,480 --> 02:10:53,680 She can paint me and talk to me at the same time. 2560 02:10:53,720 --> 02:10:55,360 Oh. I'm sure you'll make a lovely 2561 02:10:55,360 --> 02:10:57,880 picture, darling, especially with your arm in the sling. 2562 02:10:57,880 --> 02:10:59,080 Oh. Lord, I've forgotten that. 2563 02:10:59,360 --> 02:11:02,280 And Miss Temple. Mr Temple, may I make a 2564 02:11:02,280 --> 02:11:03,720 suggestion? Yes, of course. 2565 02:11:03,960 --> 02:11:06,400 Why not let Misses Temple see Marian? 2566 02:11:06,560 --> 02:11:09,640 I feel sure that she'd get a great deal more out of her than 2567 02:11:09,640 --> 02:11:11,680 anyone else. Thank you, Mr Shelley. 2568 02:11:11,680 --> 02:11:13,960 Yes, You know, I think you're quite right, Shelley. 2569 02:11:14,720 --> 02:11:17,800 It's rather an idea. Yes, really. 2570 02:11:17,800 --> 02:11:53,200 Rather an idea. Missus Temple. 2571 02:11:53,360 --> 02:11:55,520 Yes. I'm Miss Faber's chauffeur. 2572 02:11:55,680 --> 02:11:57,920 Oh, Miss Faber asked me to omit the train. 2573 02:11:58,280 --> 02:11:59,880 Oh, thank you. That's very kind of her. 2574 02:12:00,000 --> 02:12:00,800 Have you any? Luggage. 2575 02:12:00,920 --> 02:12:02,640 No. The car's over there, Mrs 2576 02:12:02,640 --> 02:12:05,120 Temple. Just screw the kids if you will 2577 02:12:05,120 --> 02:12:05,920 follow me. Thank you. 2578 02:12:11,480 --> 02:12:14,440 This is the car. Madam, how far is Miss Faber's 2579 02:12:14,440 --> 02:12:17,680 place from here? It's about four miles, but it's 2580 02:12:17,720 --> 02:12:20,000 rather difficult to find if you haven't been down here before. 2581 02:12:21,040 --> 02:12:22,760 I'm very glad Miss Faber sent the car. 2582 02:12:23,160 --> 02:12:25,400 I should probably have caught the wrong bustle, walked in the 2583 02:12:25,400 --> 02:12:26,720 opposite direction, or. Something. 2584 02:12:27,240 --> 02:12:28,920 Seems to be quite a habit of mine these days. 2585 02:12:29,200 --> 02:12:30,960 I'll move those passes off the back seat. 2586 02:12:30,960 --> 02:12:32,920 And then you can get here. Oh please don't bother, I can 2587 02:12:32,920 --> 02:12:34,640 sit in the front with you. Oh, thank you by. 2588 02:12:36,000 --> 02:12:37,840 The way haven't I seen you before somewhere? 2589 02:12:38,160 --> 02:12:40,640 I don't think so, Madam. What is your name? 2590 02:12:40,920 --> 02:12:45,120 France, Madam Louis France. Funny, I could have sworn I'd 2591 02:12:45,120 --> 02:12:48,080 seen you before somewhere. Oh, just a moment, Madam. 2592 02:12:48,800 --> 02:12:50,560 Didn't you? Stay at the Wordsworth Hotel at 2593 02:12:50,600 --> 02:12:52,880 Mallow about a week ago. Yes, that's right, my husband 2594 02:12:52,880 --> 02:12:54,040 and I were down there for the weekend. 2595 02:12:54,840 --> 02:12:56,920 That's where you must have seen me, Mrs Temple. 2596 02:12:57,280 --> 02:12:59,720 I delivered a message to the manager, Mr McCall. 2597 02:13:00,040 --> 02:13:02,400 Oh yes, I remember. I knew that I had seen you 2598 02:13:02,400 --> 02:13:04,360 before. You are one of those people who 2599 02:13:04,360 --> 02:13:06,880 will never forget a face. Well, oddly enough it's it's 2600 02:13:06,880 --> 02:13:09,240 usually voices I remember, not faces. 2601 02:13:10,080 --> 02:13:12,120 You have to pull that door, Madame Alami. 2602 02:13:30,180 --> 02:13:32,820 How much further have we to go? About a mile and 1/2. 2603 02:13:34,180 --> 02:13:35,780 Do we drive by the river all the way? 2604 02:13:35,940 --> 02:13:41,260 Yes, seems better. Long 4 miles. 2605 02:13:41,380 --> 02:13:43,500 It's probably near 5 from the station. 2606 02:13:43,940 --> 02:13:45,780 We always reckon about 20 minutes. 2607 02:13:47,040 --> 02:13:49,880 When we get around the next bend, you'll see the cottage on 2608 02:13:49,880 --> 02:13:52,640 the top of a hill. You mean Miss Faber's cottage? 2609 02:13:52,760 --> 02:13:54,440 Yes. Oh, I thought you had a 2610 02:13:54,440 --> 02:13:57,440 bungalow. No, Madam, a cottage. 2611 02:13:57,800 --> 02:14:02,440 It says one of those, what you call it, 2 door cottages with a 2612 02:14:03,040 --> 02:14:06,960 thatched thatched. Is that the right word? 2613 02:14:07,120 --> 02:14:11,480 Yes, that's the right word. How long have you worked for 2614 02:14:11,480 --> 02:14:14,400 Miss Faber? Oh, nearly two years now. 2615 02:14:14,880 --> 02:14:18,360 And before that, or before that, I was all over the place. 2616 02:14:18,480 --> 02:14:19,440 Abroad. Yes. 2617 02:14:19,440 --> 02:14:20,520 Abroad. Which part? 2618 02:14:21,160 --> 02:14:23,160 Zurich, Copenhagen. Oslo. 2619 02:14:23,360 --> 02:14:25,920 Or we know Paris. No, I've. 2620 02:14:25,960 --> 02:14:27,920 I've never worked in Paris. But you've been there? 2621 02:14:28,440 --> 02:14:30,880 No, Never. I think you have. 2622 02:14:31,720 --> 02:14:33,880 What do you mean? You've been to Paris? 2623 02:14:33,880 --> 02:14:34,680 Quite. Recently. 2624 02:14:35,120 --> 02:14:38,400 What are you talking about? I'm talking about the Cafe Dico. 2625 02:14:39,200 --> 02:14:42,160 Surely Remember the Cafe Dico? I don't understand what you 2626 02:14:42,160 --> 02:14:44,440 mean. Oh, I'm surprised, Mr France. 2627 02:14:45,320 --> 02:14:48,160 Don't you remember a rather disreputable individual selling 2628 02:14:48,160 --> 02:14:53,200 newspapers and pretty postcards? You recognised my voice. 2629 02:14:53,480 --> 02:14:55,640 Yes. I knew you what I told Van Dyke. 2630 02:14:55,640 --> 02:14:58,520 You recognise my voice. Listen, I don't know what your 2631 02:14:58,520 --> 02:15:00,800 game is, but don't be a fool. Stop the car. 2632 02:15:01,000 --> 02:15:03,080 Take your hands off the wheel. You heard what I said, Stop the 2633 02:15:03,080 --> 02:15:04,720 car before it's too late. Stupid to go. 2634 02:15:04,720 --> 02:15:05,920 Fool. All right, you ask. 2635 02:15:05,920 --> 02:15:07,200 Why? You. 2636 02:15:07,640 --> 02:15:10,440 For heaven's sake, be careful or you turn the car over. 2637 02:15:10,440 --> 02:15:12,960 I'll teach you to strike me. Take your hands off the wheel. 2638 02:15:13,480 --> 02:15:32,180 Look on. That was the fifth episode of 2639 02:15:32,180 --> 02:15:35,460 the Francis Terbridge serial Paul Temple and the Van Dyke 2640 02:15:35,460 --> 02:15:39,540 Affair, with Peter Cook as Paul Temple and Marjorie Westbury as 2641 02:15:39,540 --> 02:15:42,780 Steve. The part of Inspector Eden is 2642 02:15:42,780 --> 02:15:47,820 played by Frederick Treves, Mary Desmond by June Tobin, Bill 2643 02:15:47,820 --> 02:15:52,060 McCall by John Scott and Roger Shelley by Richard Handel. 2644 02:15:52,760 --> 02:15:56,120 Production for the BBC was by Martin C Webster. 2645 02:16:06,200 --> 02:16:10,240 So we'll hear the outcome of that apparent car crash tomorrow 2646 02:16:10,240 --> 02:16:12,960 and find out if Steve's OK at the same time. 2647 02:16:31,240 --> 02:16:34,680 We present Peter Cook and Marjorie Westbury in the Francis 2648 02:16:34,680 --> 02:16:40,360 Derbridge serial Paul Temple and the Van Dyke Affair episode 6. 2649 02:16:40,920 --> 02:16:55,000 Suspect #1. All right, you ask for it. 2650 02:16:55,799 --> 02:16:57,200 Why if I haven't? Sick. 2651 02:16:57,240 --> 02:16:58,440 Be careful when you turn the car on. 2652 02:16:58,440 --> 02:16:59,600 I'll do you. Just strike me. 2653 02:16:59,639 --> 02:17:00,080 Look. Out. 2654 02:17:37,240 --> 02:17:40,959 Missus Temple. Mr Trusty Macron, look who it 2655 02:17:41,000 --> 02:17:43,879 is. We saw the car zigzagging all 2656 02:17:43,879 --> 02:17:46,480 over the place. Did the steering column break? 2657 02:17:46,639 --> 02:17:48,760 No, no, it it is nothing like that. 2658 02:17:49,959 --> 02:17:51,719 Is is that your? Husband in the river. 2659 02:17:51,719 --> 02:17:53,559 No, no, it's the man called with France. 2660 02:17:53,959 --> 02:17:56,200 He was tight. Saying he's in trouble. 2661 02:17:56,200 --> 02:17:58,040 He can't swim, do something quickly. 2662 02:17:58,040 --> 02:17:58,920 You're done, right? He can't. 2663 02:17:58,920 --> 02:17:59,760 Swing. He's panicking. 2664 02:17:59,760 --> 02:18:02,040 He sure is. Take this. 2665 02:18:02,040 --> 02:18:03,280 Jacket out and put it around missus. 2666 02:18:03,360 --> 02:18:04,879 Of course. I'll look after the guy in the 2667 02:18:04,920 --> 02:18:06,639 water. Here we go, I'm sitting. 2668 02:18:06,639 --> 02:18:09,520 Thank you. Are you all right? 2669 02:18:09,600 --> 02:18:12,440 Yes, Sir, I'm all right. Thank. 2670 02:18:12,719 --> 02:18:14,040 You. It's strange, we should meet 2671 02:18:14,040 --> 02:18:14,440 like this. I'm. 2672 02:18:15,320 --> 02:18:17,760 Very glad with it. McCall and I were driving down 2673 02:18:17,760 --> 02:18:18,480 to the word. What? 2674 02:18:18,480 --> 02:18:21,879 We just met at the station. I think you'd better come back 2675 02:18:21,879 --> 02:18:23,280 to the hotel with us, Missus Temple. 2676 02:18:23,639 --> 02:18:27,639 I think I'd better don't go very far like this. 2677 02:18:28,480 --> 02:18:30,799 Is it near here? The Wordsworth, It's about two 2678 02:18:30,799 --> 02:18:35,280 miles. When did you get back from 2679 02:18:35,320 --> 02:18:38,320 Paris, Mr Rusty? I came back yesterday, but I'm 2680 02:18:38,480 --> 02:18:41,160 flying back tonight. My wife's still in a pretty bad 2681 02:18:41,160 --> 02:18:41,959 way. I'm afraid I'm. 2682 02:18:42,400 --> 02:18:44,400 Sorry. I shouldn't have left Paris, 2683 02:18:44,400 --> 02:18:46,879 only I had a meeting in town yesterday afternoon. 2684 02:18:47,920 --> 02:18:50,120 But where were you? Going when this happened. 2685 02:18:50,559 --> 02:18:54,200 I was going to see Marion Faber. The artist. 2686 02:18:54,200 --> 02:18:57,879 Yes, and that man called himself very France met me at the 2687 02:18:57,879 --> 02:19:00,040 station, said he was her chauffeur. 2688 02:19:00,760 --> 02:19:02,440 But I recognised him almost at once. 2689 02:19:02,440 --> 02:19:05,080 He was the man in Paris who was responsible for that bomb 2690 02:19:05,080 --> 02:19:10,240 explosion at the Carefedico. But that's a most extraordinary 2691 02:19:10,240 --> 02:19:11,040 story. Missus Temple. 2692 02:19:11,879 --> 02:19:13,160 Are you sure this is the same man? 2693 02:19:13,160 --> 02:19:16,879 I'm absolutely sure I recognised his voice and the moment I 2694 02:19:16,879 --> 02:19:18,719 mentioned look. Mccall's coming back. 2695 02:19:19,360 --> 02:19:21,920 But but he's alone. I wonder what's happened. 2696 02:19:22,400 --> 02:19:24,920 Trusty. You'd better drive down to the 2697 02:19:24,920 --> 02:19:28,719 police station, mention my name and ask massage and garage. 2698 02:19:28,920 --> 02:19:30,520 Didn't you manage? It was no use. 2699 02:19:30,760 --> 02:19:32,959 He was in such a state there was nothing I could do. 2700 02:19:33,680 --> 02:19:36,559 I tried to save him but he just wouldn't help me have. 2701 02:19:36,559 --> 02:19:37,920 You tried artificial respiration He. 2702 02:19:37,920 --> 02:19:40,120 Was dead. He was dead when I got him out 2703 02:19:40,120 --> 02:19:42,000 of the water. He won my opinion. 2704 02:19:42,000 --> 02:19:43,920 He died from shock more than anything else. 2705 02:19:44,600 --> 02:19:46,680 Yes. I'm sorry, Mr Temple. 2706 02:19:47,240 --> 02:19:49,040 I did my best. Was he a friend of yours? 2707 02:19:49,520 --> 02:19:52,640 Oh no, he wasn't. Missus Temple had an appointment 2708 02:19:52,640 --> 02:19:55,120 with Marion Faber. What the artist? 2709 02:19:55,120 --> 02:19:59,480 Yes, that fellow met her at the station and passed himself off 2710 02:19:59,480 --> 02:20:02,040 as Miss Faber's chauffeur. What do you mean passed himself 2711 02:20:02,120 --> 02:20:03,880 off? His name is Faber's Chauffeur. 2712 02:20:04,040 --> 02:20:07,760 No, his name's Louis France. The first time I saw him was in 2713 02:20:07,760 --> 02:20:09,800 Paris. According to Missus Temple, he 2714 02:20:09,800 --> 02:20:13,120 was the man responsible for the Baum outrage at the Cafe Deco. 2715 02:20:13,120 --> 02:20:15,880 What? You're almost as bad as your 2716 02:20:15,880 --> 02:20:17,920 husband. Missus Temple You 2 suddenly 2717 02:20:17,920 --> 02:20:20,600 going for surprises. Say this character was 2718 02:20:20,600 --> 02:20:22,000 responsible for that bomb outrage. 2719 02:20:22,000 --> 02:20:23,240 Why did he meet you at the station? 2720 02:20:23,360 --> 02:20:27,200 I don't know and this by the way, Mr McCauley said that he 2721 02:20:27,200 --> 02:20:29,640 knew you. Yes, he said he delivered a 2722 02:20:29,640 --> 02:20:32,600 message to you at the words was about a week ago. 2723 02:20:32,600 --> 02:20:34,640 Not to me, he didn't. I never said I'd on him before 2724 02:20:34,640 --> 02:20:37,040 today. Now don't look at me like that, 2725 02:20:37,040 --> 02:20:38,560 Mrs Temple. Like what? 2726 02:20:39,240 --> 02:20:41,360 You're looking at me as if you don't believe a word I say. 2727 02:20:42,360 --> 02:20:44,600 Show you why. That's OK, I don't mind whether 2728 02:20:44,600 --> 02:20:47,560 you believe me or not. It just happens to be the truth, 2729 02:20:47,560 --> 02:20:50,160 that's all. You've never seen him before. 2730 02:20:50,400 --> 02:20:52,200 That's right, it's as simple as that. 2731 02:20:53,040 --> 02:21:19,760 I have never seen him before. Miss Favour? 2732 02:21:19,800 --> 02:21:21,920 Yes. Oh, my name is Paul Temple. 2733 02:21:21,920 --> 02:21:23,840 I believe my wife had an appointment with you this 2734 02:21:23,880 --> 02:21:26,440 afternoon. She did at 3:30. 2735 02:21:26,760 --> 02:21:29,480 The next time your wife makes an appointment and cannot keep it. 2736 02:21:29,480 --> 02:21:33,000 Mr Temple, I should be grateful if she would let me know. 2737 02:21:33,040 --> 02:21:34,920 I can assure you my wife would have been here on time, Miss 2738 02:21:34,920 --> 02:21:36,760 Favour, but she had an accident. An accident? 2739 02:21:36,800 --> 02:21:38,000 Yes. I'm sorry. 2740 02:21:38,400 --> 02:21:40,600 I've been in rather a bad mood all day. 2741 02:21:40,920 --> 02:21:41,840 Do come in. Thank you. 2742 02:21:43,320 --> 02:21:45,160 This morning my work went to pieces. 2743 02:21:45,160 --> 02:21:48,120 And then this afternoon when your wife didn't turn up. 2744 02:21:48,120 --> 02:21:51,040 I know he's told you to apologise, Miss Fay, but I know 2745 02:21:51,040 --> 02:21:58,120 that sort of day only to wet. So Steve went back to the hotel 2746 02:21:58,120 --> 02:22:00,880 with Rosti and Bill McCall. They telephoned through to the 2747 02:22:00,880 --> 02:22:02,560 flat and I motored down from town. 2748 02:22:02,600 --> 02:22:04,800 Where is your wife now? She's still at the Wordsworth. 2749 02:22:05,160 --> 02:22:07,120 I left her there while I called round to talk to you. 2750 02:22:07,120 --> 02:22:10,160 What? Was this man like Mr Temple, the 2751 02:22:10,160 --> 02:22:11,680 man who pretended to be my chauffeur? 2752 02:22:11,680 --> 02:22:16,280 I understand he was about 30, tall, dark, good looking and he 2753 02:22:16,280 --> 02:22:19,520 spoke with an accent. And you say his name was Louis 2754 02:22:19,520 --> 02:22:21,200 France? According to the papers found on 2755 02:22:21,200 --> 02:22:24,160 him, yes. I just can't imagine who he is. 2756 02:22:24,480 --> 02:22:27,280 It's my opinion that he worked for a man called Van Dyke. 2757 02:22:27,400 --> 02:22:29,640 Van Dyke. Does that convey anything to 2758 02:22:29,640 --> 02:22:30,800 you? No, I. 2759 02:22:31,840 --> 02:22:34,920 See Cigarette. No, thank you. 2760 02:22:34,920 --> 02:22:37,120 I don't spoke. Have you any objection if I do? 2761 02:22:37,120 --> 02:22:44,000 No, of course. I understand Mr Shelley's a 2762 02:22:44,000 --> 02:22:47,040 friend of yours. Yes, I've known Roger for some 2763 02:22:47,040 --> 02:22:48,920 time. Didn't you dine within the night 2764 02:22:48,920 --> 02:22:51,400 that man Dewolf was murdered? I did. 2765 02:22:51,880 --> 02:22:53,520 Was Dewolf a friend of yours? No. 2766 02:22:54,160 --> 02:22:55,680 But wasn't he a friend of Roger Shelley's? 2767 02:22:55,840 --> 02:22:58,120 Maybe, but that doesn't necessarily make him a friend of 2768 02:22:58,120 --> 02:23:00,520 mine. In any case, he wasn't a friend 2769 02:23:00,520 --> 02:23:03,200 of Shelley's. Roger simply bumped into him at 2770 02:23:03,200 --> 02:23:04,840 the words and invited him out to dinner. 2771 02:23:05,040 --> 02:23:07,160 And you never actually saw him. No. 2772 02:23:07,720 --> 02:23:11,960 I see, Miss Faber, when my wife telephoned and made an 2773 02:23:11,960 --> 02:23:14,680 appointment to see you, what was your reaction? 2774 02:23:15,560 --> 02:23:17,440 What do you mean? What did you believe that she 2775 02:23:17,440 --> 02:23:18,920 only wanted to have a portrait painted? 2776 02:23:19,280 --> 02:23:23,560 Oh, why shouldn't I? I'm an artist, I paint portraits 2777 02:23:23,880 --> 02:23:25,760 and I understand your wife is a very good looking. 2778 02:23:25,760 --> 02:23:27,760 Woman, didn't it occur to you that you might be coming down 2779 02:23:27,760 --> 02:23:30,800 here because I wanted certain information from you? 2780 02:23:31,280 --> 02:23:34,280 No it didn't. What information are you talking 2781 02:23:34,280 --> 02:23:36,360 about? Mr Shelley tells me that you 2782 02:23:36,360 --> 02:23:39,280 have a rather unusual sense of humour. 2783 02:23:40,240 --> 02:23:42,400 It depends what you mean by unusual. 2784 02:23:42,400 --> 02:23:44,200 I understand you. What should we say? 2785 02:23:44,680 --> 02:23:48,680 Go in for practical jokes. Are you suggesting that I sent 2786 02:23:48,680 --> 02:23:50,720 that man down to? The no, I'm not suggesting 2787 02:23:50,720 --> 02:23:52,120 anything of the. Song Well, what are you 2788 02:23:52,120 --> 02:23:54,680 suggesting? That you sent Mr Shelley a note, 2789 02:23:55,200 --> 02:23:57,800 A threatening note, apparently written by Miss Millicent. 2790 02:23:58,920 --> 02:24:01,720 Well. Well, what if I did? 2791 02:24:01,720 --> 02:24:05,360 The fool was asking to have his leg pulled every time you met 2792 02:24:05,360 --> 02:24:06,560 him. He did nothing but talk about 2793 02:24:06,560 --> 02:24:09,840 the Millicent affair. It isn't as if he knew the woman 2794 02:24:09,840 --> 02:24:12,280 very well. I don't suppose he'd spoken to 2795 02:24:12,280 --> 02:24:13,640 her more than half a dozen times. 2796 02:24:14,640 --> 02:24:16,440 I met him in Regent Street one afternoon. 2797 02:24:16,440 --> 02:24:19,080 He'd just been to Scotland Yard. He was full of it. 2798 02:24:19,400 --> 02:24:22,480 He said he was worried, desperately worried, but it was 2799 02:24:22,480 --> 02:24:24,680 obvious that he was enjoying every minute of it. 2800 02:24:26,080 --> 02:24:28,560 Well, we gave him something to worry about. 2801 02:24:28,560 --> 02:24:31,280 We. Oh, that note wasn't entirely my 2802 02:24:31,280 --> 02:24:34,960 idea. A friend of mine and Rogers told 2803 02:24:34,960 --> 02:24:37,600 me exactly what to write and gave me a letter of Miss 2804 02:24:37,600 --> 02:24:39,560 Millicent so that I could copy the handwriting. 2805 02:24:39,560 --> 02:24:43,400 Well, your friend seems to have been very well informed he knew 2806 02:24:43,400 --> 02:24:45,920 the wolf's identity before Scotland Yard did. 2807 02:24:46,720 --> 02:24:49,280 Yes, I know, I've been worried about that. 2808 02:24:50,080 --> 02:24:53,560 When I wrote the note, I thought the name was fictitious when my 2809 02:24:53,560 --> 02:24:57,280 friend had invented to make the note sound authentic, but later 2810 02:24:57,280 --> 02:24:58,600 I discovered. That it was genuine? 2811 02:24:58,600 --> 02:25:01,320 Yes. What did you do when you 2812 02:25:01,320 --> 02:25:03,840 discovered that the dead man really was called the wolf? 2813 02:25:03,880 --> 02:25:06,600 Well, naturally, I had a word with my friend. 2814 02:25:07,080 --> 02:25:10,360 I asked him how he happened to know the wolf's identity and why 2815 02:25:10,360 --> 02:25:12,000 he hadn't spoken to the police about it. 2816 02:25:12,000 --> 02:25:14,720 And what did your friend say? He said he didn't want to get 2817 02:25:14,720 --> 02:25:17,880 involved with the police and in any case, if Shelley went to 2818 02:25:17,880 --> 02:25:20,200 Scotland Yard with a note, they'd very quickly check up on 2819 02:25:20,200 --> 02:25:20,920 the wolf. I see. 2820 02:25:22,040 --> 02:25:27,360 Who is your friend, Miss Faber? I'm sorry, I can't tell you. 2821 02:25:27,480 --> 02:25:28,760 You mean you won't tell me? Is that it? 2822 02:25:29,160 --> 02:25:30,920 If you like. Why? 2823 02:25:32,720 --> 02:25:34,800 Because I don't want to get anyone into trouble. 2824 02:25:34,800 --> 02:25:37,160 My dear Miss Faber, you'll get a great many people into trouble, 2825 02:25:37,160 --> 02:25:39,600 including yourself, if you withhold important information 2826 02:25:39,600 --> 02:25:43,600 from the police. Now look, don't be silly about 2827 02:25:43,600 --> 02:25:45,640 this. Who gave you the Miss Medicine 2828 02:25:45,640 --> 02:25:47,760 letter? And who told you what to put in 2829 02:25:47,760 --> 02:25:51,080 that note to Roger Shelley? I'm sorry, I can't tell you. 2830 02:25:51,840 --> 02:25:54,240 I don't know whether you realise the seriousness of this. 2831 02:25:54,280 --> 02:25:56,400 I'm not going to tell you who my friend is. 2832 02:25:56,400 --> 02:25:58,280 The whole thing was a practical joke. 2833 02:25:58,520 --> 02:26:02,000 The sooner it's forgotten the better, and in any case, I don't 2834 02:26:02,000 --> 02:26:04,360 doubt the police know all there is to know about the wolf 2835 02:26:04,640 --> 02:26:07,120 without dragging my friend or anyone else down the Scotland 2836 02:26:07,120 --> 02:26:08,120 Yard. Do you think I'm here just 2837 02:26:08,120 --> 02:26:10,400 because I'm curious about one of your stupid practical jokes? 2838 02:26:10,560 --> 02:26:13,360 Well, I'm not. I'm here because I'm determined 2839 02:26:13,360 --> 02:26:16,280 to find out the identity of the mysterious Mr Van Dyke. 2840 02:26:16,440 --> 02:26:19,680 And I've already told you I've never heard of anyone called 2841 02:26:19,680 --> 02:26:20,960 Van. Dyke, I think you have. 2842 02:26:21,440 --> 02:26:24,400 I think you've heard a great deal about Mr Van Dyke, and I've 2843 02:26:24,400 --> 02:26:26,720 got a shrewd suspicion that you know a great deal more about 2844 02:26:26,720 --> 02:26:29,160 this Miss Millicent affair than you'd like to admit. 2845 02:26:29,400 --> 02:26:32,960 That's absolute nonsense. You know where they found Miss 2846 02:26:32,960 --> 02:26:35,880 Millicent, don't you? In the river about two miles 2847 02:26:35,880 --> 02:26:38,440 from here. Well, what does that prove? 2848 02:26:38,880 --> 02:26:40,920 I'm not the only person who lives around here. 2849 02:26:41,440 --> 02:26:44,520 There's Shelley, for instance. He's got a cottage not far from 2850 02:26:44,520 --> 02:26:47,480 where they found Miss Millicent. And there there's Mr McCall at 2851 02:26:47,480 --> 02:26:49,880 the Wordsworth. And Mr Drosti, he's quite a 2852 02:26:49,880 --> 02:26:52,520 frequent visitor to these parts. For a person who's never heard 2853 02:26:52,520 --> 02:26:55,040 of Mr Van Dyke and knows very little about the Miss Millicent 2854 02:26:55,040 --> 02:26:57,600 affair, you seem to be pretty well acquainted with the 2855 02:26:57,600 --> 02:26:59,160 principal characters in the story. 2856 02:27:00,400 --> 02:27:03,880 I can see you're quite convinced I'm a double dyed villain, Mr 2857 02:27:03,880 --> 02:27:06,760 Temple. Or should I say villainess? 2858 02:27:06,760 --> 02:27:08,760 No, I think you're just being very silly. 2859 02:27:09,080 --> 02:27:11,000 Because I won't tell you who my friend is. 2860 02:27:11,000 --> 02:27:13,000 We shall find that out sooner or later. 2861 02:27:15,000 --> 02:27:17,080 Would you mind passing you my cigarette case on the table 2862 02:27:17,080 --> 02:27:19,960 there? I'm sorry to appear so 2863 02:27:19,960 --> 02:27:23,960 difficult, Mr Temple. I hope that next time we meet, 2864 02:27:23,960 --> 02:27:26,480 you'll be able to take a more favourable view of me. 2865 02:27:26,560 --> 02:27:28,480 I hope so. Here's your case. 2866 02:27:30,160 --> 02:27:32,440 Tell me, just out of curiosity, what's the point of the 2867 02:27:32,440 --> 02:27:35,200 cigarette case? To get my fingerprints. 2868 02:27:35,560 --> 02:27:38,880 Yes. But you should have asked me. 2869 02:27:39,120 --> 02:27:41,280 I would have been only too happy to have obliged. 2870 02:27:42,800 --> 02:27:44,280 You're not so serious, I thought. 2871 02:27:44,800 --> 02:27:47,840 Goodbye. Goodbye Mr. Tim Oh, by the way, 2872 02:27:47,840 --> 02:27:52,080 yes, I did notice the photograph of Mr Palmer in the hall. 2873 02:27:52,800 --> 02:27:54,720 You did intend me to notice it, didn't you? 2874 02:27:56,000 --> 02:28:18,240 Goodbye. Hello, darling. 2875 02:28:18,240 --> 02:28:19,280 Oh. Hello Steve, I've been looking 2876 02:28:19,280 --> 02:28:20,440 all over the place for you. You ready? 2877 02:28:20,600 --> 02:28:23,640 Yes, but I promised you'd give Mr Drosty a lift into town. 2878 02:28:23,880 --> 02:28:25,720 He's flying back to Paris on the night plane. 2879 02:28:25,880 --> 02:28:26,920 Well, where is he? Is he ready? 2880 02:28:27,000 --> 02:28:28,800 He won't be in a moment. How's your? 2881 02:28:28,800 --> 02:28:29,840 Arm. Oh, it's fine. 2882 02:28:29,840 --> 02:28:31,760 Never felt better. Shouldn't be using it. 2883 02:28:31,760 --> 02:28:34,600 You know, if the doctor knew you were driving a car, he'd be 2884 02:28:34,600 --> 02:28:35,480 Fury. Nonsense. 2885 02:28:35,480 --> 02:28:37,200 It felt better the moment I took it out of the sling. 2886 02:28:37,480 --> 02:28:39,640 Ah, here's Drosty. Hello, old man. 2887 02:28:39,640 --> 02:28:41,520 I'm sorry if I've kept waiting. No, that's all right. 2888 02:28:41,520 --> 02:28:44,040 I've only just arrived. Did you see Miss Faber? 2889 02:28:44,160 --> 02:28:46,160 Yes. Apparently she's never heard of 2890 02:28:46,160 --> 02:28:47,920 France. At any rate, he certainly wasn't 2891 02:28:47,920 --> 02:28:50,080 a chauffeur. I know, I understand. 2892 02:28:50,080 --> 02:28:51,960 You want her lift back to town? Yes. 2893 02:28:51,960 --> 02:28:53,520 If it's not causing you too much trouble. 2894 02:28:53,520 --> 02:28:54,520 No, of course not. You ready? 2895 02:28:54,600 --> 02:28:55,720 Yes, I'm ready now. Good. 2896 02:28:56,000 --> 02:28:58,520 Oh, wait a moment, darling. Here's Mr McCall. 2897 02:28:58,520 --> 02:28:59,880 Oh. What is it, McCall? 2898 02:28:59,960 --> 02:29:01,240 There's a call for you from Paris. 2899 02:29:01,280 --> 02:29:02,880 I I gather it's urgent. They've been trying to get you 2900 02:29:02,880 --> 02:29:04,720 at the flat. Oh, excuse me. 2901 02:29:04,720 --> 02:29:05,880 I take it in my office. It's quicker. 2902 02:29:06,000 --> 02:29:08,840 Yes, all right. Call from Paris. 2903 02:29:09,440 --> 02:29:12,920 I wonder if it's about his wife. How are you feeling now, Steve? 2904 02:29:12,920 --> 02:29:14,520 All right. Well, I certainly feel better 2905 02:29:14,520 --> 02:29:16,800 than I did. You know, both Dusty and McCall 2906 02:29:16,800 --> 02:29:20,720 have been very decent. You look excited about 2907 02:29:20,720 --> 02:29:21,640 something. What's happening? 2908 02:29:21,640 --> 02:29:24,440 Well, as I told you, I saw Miss Famer, and although she 2909 02:29:24,440 --> 02:29:27,280 apparently knew nothing about the chauffeur, she certainly 2910 02:29:27,280 --> 02:29:30,320 knew something about that note. The one that Shelly got, Did you 2911 02:29:30,360 --> 02:29:32,200 ask her about it? Yes, and she confirmed what 2912 02:29:32,200 --> 02:29:35,200 Shelly suspected, that she sent it to him as a practical joke. 2913 02:29:35,400 --> 02:29:38,560 Oh, but who told her about the wolf? 2914 02:29:39,040 --> 02:29:41,120 And how was she able to copy Miss Millicent's handwriting? 2915 02:29:41,120 --> 02:29:43,360 The same person who told her about the wolf supplied her with 2916 02:29:43,360 --> 02:29:45,600 a letter of Miss Millicent's. Who was it? 2917 02:29:46,000 --> 02:29:48,680 She didn't tell me, but I've got a pretty shrewd suspicion. 2918 02:29:49,520 --> 02:29:52,120 He's dusted. Well, something's happened, 2919 02:29:52,120 --> 02:29:56,200 Paul. There's no need for you to take 2920 02:29:56,200 --> 02:29:59,040 me back to town, Temple. I'm going back with McCall. 2921 02:29:59,040 --> 02:30:01,360 No. Well, we've had a spot of 2922 02:30:01,360 --> 02:30:03,800 trouble at the Commodore. The manager's been taken. 2923 02:30:03,800 --> 02:30:06,480 I'll. I want McCall to take charge 2924 02:30:06,480 --> 02:30:08,200 there. For the time being, at any rate. 2925 02:30:08,200 --> 02:30:10,800 I see. Is there any news in Paris? 2926 02:30:11,600 --> 02:30:14,960 Yes, my wife died this afternoon. 2927 02:30:15,040 --> 02:30:18,720 Oh, sorry, Mr Justin. Did she regain consciousness? 2928 02:30:18,720 --> 02:30:22,520 No, apparently not. Now, will you excuse me? 2929 02:30:22,520 --> 02:30:26,240 I've got one or two arrangements to make, and I don't want to 2930 02:30:26,240 --> 02:30:27,480 miss the plane. Yes, of course. 2931 02:30:27,480 --> 02:30:28,920 And I am so sorry. Thanks. 2932 02:30:29,200 --> 02:30:29,800 Goodbye, Rosie. Goodbye. 2933 02:30:30,040 --> 02:30:32,160 Goodbye, Missus Temple. Goodbye, Mr Justin. 2934 02:30:50,890 --> 02:30:54,210 Why, Hello, Temple. I never expected to see you. 2935 02:30:54,250 --> 02:30:55,930 Not at this time of night. May I come in Parliament? 2936 02:30:56,290 --> 02:30:59,330 Well, yes, of course. Am I disturbing you? 2937 02:30:59,530 --> 02:31:01,330 No, not a bit. I've finished an article. 2938 02:31:01,330 --> 02:31:03,210 I was just going to help myself to a whisk and soda. 2939 02:31:03,210 --> 02:31:04,770 Will you join me? Oh, thanks very much. 2940 02:31:04,770 --> 02:31:11,450 Sounds an excellent idea. Soda or water? 2941 02:31:11,730 --> 02:31:12,770 Soda, please. Right. 2942 02:31:15,400 --> 02:31:18,160 How's Missus Desmond? I'm not too good, I'm afraid. 2943 02:31:18,200 --> 02:31:21,480 She still seems on edge. This Miss Millison business has 2944 02:31:21,480 --> 02:31:23,080 certainly played the very devil with her nerves. 2945 02:31:23,800 --> 02:31:25,480 I I don't think she's sleeping very well. 2946 02:31:26,440 --> 02:31:28,080 Well, here's your drink. Oh, thanks. 2947 02:31:29,480 --> 02:31:30,040 Cheers. Bye. 2948 02:31:30,400 --> 02:31:35,920 Scar Palmer? Yes. 2949 02:31:37,000 --> 02:31:38,840 Do you mind if I ask you another personal question? 2950 02:31:38,960 --> 02:31:40,160 No, of course not. Far ahead. 2951 02:31:41,680 --> 02:31:43,560 What exactly is your relationship with Missus 2952 02:31:43,560 --> 02:31:46,560 Desmond? We're very good friends. 2953 02:31:47,960 --> 02:31:50,720 Is that all? Yes, that's all. 2954 02:31:51,440 --> 02:31:55,960 Unfortunately, I met Mary several years ago when her 2955 02:31:55,960 --> 02:31:58,680 husband was alive. I fell in love with her the 2956 02:31:58,680 --> 02:32:02,080 first time I saw her. When John Desmond died, I did 2957 02:32:02,080 --> 02:32:03,920 everything for her, everything I possibly could. 2958 02:32:04,960 --> 02:32:07,480 Since then, I've made a point of proposing to her twice a week, 2959 02:32:07,480 --> 02:32:10,040 and she rejects my proposals with monotonous regularity. 2960 02:32:10,280 --> 02:32:13,400 Well, I wish you better luck. However, I didn't come here to 2961 02:32:13,400 --> 02:32:14,560 talk to you about Missus Desmond. 2962 02:32:14,560 --> 02:32:17,680 Then what did you come to talk to me about, Palmer. 2963 02:32:17,680 --> 02:32:20,880 Tell me, how long have you known Mary in favour? 2964 02:32:20,880 --> 02:32:22,600 Mary in favour? Yes. 2965 02:32:23,920 --> 02:32:25,800 You do know I don't you? Well, yes, of course. 2966 02:32:25,800 --> 02:32:26,960 Well, how long have you known her? 2967 02:32:27,440 --> 02:32:29,480 Well, I should say about two years. 2968 02:32:29,720 --> 02:32:31,680 Is she a very good friend of yours? 2969 02:32:31,680 --> 02:32:33,640 What do you mean? Well, is she a very good friend 2970 02:32:33,640 --> 02:32:35,520 of yours? No, she's not. 2971 02:32:35,680 --> 02:32:37,360 She's not a friend of mine at all, Really. 2972 02:32:38,880 --> 02:32:41,040 Now that surprises me. Why should it surprise you? 2973 02:32:41,840 --> 02:32:42,920 I don't know if you've been to a. 2974 02:32:43,080 --> 02:32:45,560 No, I haven't. But if you do go, you'll see 2975 02:32:45,560 --> 02:32:47,920 your photograph in the hall opposite the door. 2976 02:32:47,920 --> 02:32:49,520 You can't possibly miss it. It's rather a good one. 2977 02:32:49,520 --> 02:32:51,240 You're well. I know the photograph you mean. 2978 02:32:51,240 --> 02:32:53,480 All right. Did you give it to Miss Faber? 2979 02:32:53,760 --> 02:32:54,800 Yes. When? 2980 02:32:55,120 --> 02:32:57,880 About two years ago. Well, she must have been a very 2981 02:32:57,880 --> 02:33:00,680 good friend of yours then, judging from the inscription to 2982 02:33:00,680 --> 02:33:03,920 Marian. With all my love, why are you 2983 02:33:03,920 --> 02:33:08,160 interested in Marian Faber? For a variety of reasons, but 2984 02:33:08,160 --> 02:33:11,600 I'll give you one. Well, Miss Faber admits that she 2985 02:33:11,600 --> 02:33:14,600 sent a note to Roger Shelley. The note was written exactly as 2986 02:33:14,600 --> 02:33:15,840 Miss Millicent would have written it. 2987 02:33:16,120 --> 02:33:19,600 I see now someone dictated the contents of that note. 2988 02:33:19,600 --> 02:33:22,480 And you think I'm that someone? Rancho. 2989 02:33:22,760 --> 02:33:24,440 Look here. Before we discuss anything else, 2990 02:33:24,440 --> 02:33:26,720 let's get my relationship with Marian Faber straightened out. 2991 02:33:27,920 --> 02:33:30,240 Two years ago, I did a series of articles. 2992 02:33:30,240 --> 02:33:32,600 I'm not an art. Frankly, it's a subject I know 2993 02:33:32,600 --> 02:33:34,880 very little about. That's probably why the magazine 2994 02:33:34,880 --> 02:33:36,120 commissioned me to do the series. 2995 02:33:37,040 --> 02:33:39,360 Anyway, I got a friend of mine who introduced me to Marian 2996 02:33:39,360 --> 02:33:41,320 Faber. I knew she was well known 2997 02:33:41,320 --> 02:33:43,880 painter and had pretty definite views on contemporary art. 2998 02:33:44,760 --> 02:33:47,520 Well, Marian was awfully good. She helped me no end so far as 2999 02:33:47,520 --> 02:33:51,760 the articles were concerned. But unfortunately, well, 3000 02:33:52,520 --> 02:33:55,560 unfortunately, she turned out to be rather possessive. 3001 02:33:55,760 --> 02:33:57,280 Possessive well. Damn it all, Temple, You're a 3002 02:33:57,280 --> 02:33:59,200 man of the world. I don't have to explain, Jolly. 3003 02:33:59,200 --> 02:34:03,200 Oh, I see. When was the last time you saw 3004 02:34:03,320 --> 02:34:05,720 Miss Faber? No, about six or seven months 3005 02:34:05,720 --> 02:34:06,960 ago. And you haven't seen her since? 3006 02:34:07,080 --> 02:34:09,720 Not to speak to I saw in a restaurant about a month or so 3007 02:34:09,720 --> 02:34:11,920 ago, but fortunately she didn't see me. 3008 02:34:13,000 --> 02:34:16,320 Now to get back to your question, I did not provide Mary 3009 02:34:16,320 --> 02:34:18,840 in favour or anyone else with a letter of Miss Millicence and I 3010 02:34:18,840 --> 02:34:21,280 did not dictate or send a note to Roger Shelley. 3011 02:34:21,280 --> 02:34:22,840 But you knew that Shelley had received a note? 3012 02:34:22,840 --> 02:34:25,600 Yes, there's a paragraph in one of the papers which said it had 3013 02:34:25,600 --> 02:34:28,520 a threatening letter, didn't say what it's about, who had sent 3014 02:34:28,520 --> 02:34:31,400 it. Palmer, tell me, when you first 3015 02:34:31,400 --> 02:34:33,720 discovered that Miss Millicent worked for Shelley, did you 3016 02:34:33,720 --> 02:34:36,680 realise that it was the same Shelley that Miss Faber was 3017 02:34:36,680 --> 02:34:38,680 friendly with? I didn't know that Marion was 3018 02:34:38,680 --> 02:34:40,680 friendly with Shelley until you told me. 3019 02:34:41,280 --> 02:34:42,840 Didn't Miss Faber ever mention him? 3020 02:34:42,840 --> 02:34:44,560 No. I never heard of Shelley until 3021 02:34:44,560 --> 02:34:46,640 Miss Millicent told me that she was going to work for him. 3022 02:34:46,640 --> 02:34:48,280 Have you met Shelley? Yes. 3023 02:34:48,800 --> 02:34:50,720 I met him at Scotland Yard about a week ago. 3024 02:34:51,400 --> 02:34:54,000 Inspector Eden introduced us. I see. 3025 02:34:54,760 --> 02:34:56,840 Well. Any more questions or is the 3026 02:34:56,840 --> 02:34:58,200 quiz programme over for this evening? 3027 02:34:58,360 --> 02:35:00,400 No, not quite over. Just Just one more question. 3028 02:35:00,640 --> 02:35:04,240 Well, I'm a novelist, Palmer. I write detective stories. 3029 02:35:04,280 --> 02:35:05,600 Yes, I know. I've read them. 3030 02:35:05,600 --> 02:35:06,640 They're very good. Thank you. 3031 02:35:07,480 --> 02:35:10,080 Well, if I was writing this story, the story of Miss 3032 02:35:10,080 --> 02:35:13,480 Millicent and the mysterious Mr Van Dyke, do you know what I 3033 02:35:13,480 --> 02:35:16,800 should call you, Palmer? No, I should call you. 3034 02:35:17,720 --> 02:35:21,320 Suspect #1. Suspect #1 Yes. 3035 02:35:21,880 --> 02:35:23,440 Why? Why would you call me that? 3036 02:35:23,720 --> 02:35:25,640 Just because I didn't tell you that Marian Favour was a friend 3037 02:35:25,640 --> 02:35:27,040 of mine? Just because the cloakroom 3038 02:35:27,040 --> 02:35:29,040 attendant at the Commodore Club lied to about the attachment 3039 02:35:29,040 --> 02:35:31,000 case? You know, Temple, for a famous 3040 02:35:31,000 --> 02:35:33,680 detective writer, you're really rather stupid, aren't you? 3041 02:35:34,040 --> 02:35:36,520 Stupid. I'm sorry. 3042 02:35:36,560 --> 02:35:38,720 I shouldn't have said that. No, go ahead. 3043 02:35:38,720 --> 02:35:40,200 Tell me. Why exactly am I stupid? 3044 02:35:40,200 --> 02:35:41,480 No, really. It was awfully rude. 3045 02:35:41,480 --> 02:35:42,320 I do. A public. 3046 02:35:42,400 --> 02:35:43,320 No, no. Please tell me. 3047 02:35:44,360 --> 02:35:49,440 Well, surely you of all people know that suspect #1 never turns 3048 02:35:49,440 --> 02:35:52,560 out to be the villain. There are exceptions, Palmer. 3049 02:35:53,600 --> 02:36:15,010 There are exceptions. I'll drive the car around to the 3050 02:36:15,010 --> 02:36:16,210 garage, no. No, there's no need. 3051 02:36:16,210 --> 02:36:17,410 I'll send Charlie down. Oh, all right. 3052 02:36:17,890 --> 02:36:20,490 Don't forget your bags, Steve. Oh yes, hello. 3053 02:36:20,850 --> 02:36:23,200 Look who's here. Roger Shelley. 3054 02:36:23,280 --> 02:36:24,840 Where? Getting out of that taxi. 3055 02:36:24,840 --> 02:36:27,480 Right. Timothy looks in a flap, doesn't 3056 02:36:27,480 --> 02:36:28,920 he? Oh, dear. 3057 02:36:28,920 --> 02:36:31,800 Oh, hello, Shelley. Were you going up to the flat? 3058 02:36:31,800 --> 02:36:33,440 Yes. I wanted to talk with your 3059 02:36:33,440 --> 02:36:35,520 temple. I Oh, good evening, Missus 3060 02:36:35,520 --> 02:36:36,320 Temple. I'm so sorry. 3061 02:36:36,320 --> 02:36:39,920 I'm afraid I didn't notice you. I really I'm quite at sixes and 3062 02:36:39,920 --> 02:36:41,680 sevens. I just don't know whether I'm 3063 02:36:41,680 --> 02:36:42,560 coming or going. Is. 3064 02:36:42,880 --> 02:36:46,800 Anything wrong, Mr Shelley? I've had the most devastating 3065 02:36:46,800 --> 02:36:49,560 experience. I mean, really devastating. 3066 02:36:49,560 --> 02:36:50,480 Why? What's happened? 3067 02:36:50,840 --> 02:36:52,200 Well, you know that note I received? 3068 02:36:52,200 --> 02:36:53,800 The one I thought was a practical joke? 3069 02:36:54,120 --> 02:36:55,520 Well, I was wrong. Quite wrong. 3070 02:36:55,920 --> 02:36:57,720 Marian couldn't possibly have sent it. 3071 02:36:57,720 --> 02:36:59,400 What do you mean? Well, it turns out it wasn't a 3072 02:36:59,400 --> 02:37:00,760 joke after all. Really. 3073 02:37:01,120 --> 02:37:03,880 I don't think you understand. That note was a threat. 3074 02:37:04,080 --> 02:37:07,520 Quite a genuine threat. You see, someone tried. 3075 02:37:08,440 --> 02:37:11,080 To murder me. Someone tried to murder you, 3076 02:37:11,160 --> 02:37:11,880 Yes. When? 3077 02:37:12,160 --> 02:37:13,840 About an hour ago. Oh, it was a. 3078 02:37:14,000 --> 02:37:16,320 Terrible experience, Temple. My goodness, I never want to go 3079 02:37:16,320 --> 02:37:17,440 through anything like that again. 3080 02:37:17,440 --> 02:37:20,080 Oh, but why should anyone want to murder you, Mr. That's the 3081 02:37:20,160 --> 02:37:22,080 whole point, Mrs Temple. I don't understand. 3082 02:37:22,080 --> 02:37:24,320 I just don't understand what happened, Shelly. 3083 02:37:24,560 --> 02:37:28,200 Well, I got home from the office at about 8:30. 3084 02:37:28,560 --> 02:37:31,320 I'd had a fairly heavy day and I wasn't feeling too good, so I 3085 02:37:31,320 --> 02:37:33,760 went up to my bedroom, changed into a dressing gown, took a 3086 02:37:33,760 --> 02:37:36,080 couple of aspirins and lay down on the bed. 3087 02:37:36,920 --> 02:37:40,800 Well, I suppose I must have been dozing for an hour or so when I 3088 02:37:41,520 --> 02:37:45,000 I heard a noise. I glanced towards the window and 3089 02:37:45,000 --> 02:37:47,880 to my absolute horror, I realised that a man had climbed 3090 02:37:47,880 --> 02:37:49,880 the balcony and was actually in the room. 3091 02:37:50,000 --> 02:37:51,560 Did you recognise? No, I didn't. 3092 02:37:51,840 --> 02:37:54,040 I couldn't see very clearly, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't anyone 3093 02:37:54,040 --> 02:37:56,920 I'd seen before. Oh, I was petrified. 3094 02:37:57,560 --> 02:38:00,480 I just didn't know what to do. I know it sounds highly 3095 02:38:00,480 --> 02:38:04,880 melodramatic, but it was just as if my whole body had turned to 3096 02:38:04,880 --> 02:38:08,080 stone. Well, I watched him. 3097 02:38:08,560 --> 02:38:10,160 I watched him come closer to the bed. 3098 02:38:10,320 --> 02:38:12,920 He thought I was asleep. Suddenly I saw him take 3099 02:38:12,920 --> 02:38:15,080 something from his pocket. I couldn't see what it was. 3100 02:38:15,080 --> 02:38:17,080 Not at first. Not until he was right on top of 3101 02:38:17,080 --> 02:38:17,840 me. And then? 3102 02:38:17,880 --> 02:38:20,320 What was he? It was a knife, one of those 3103 02:38:20,320 --> 02:38:22,480 squat little things with a with a razor blade. 3104 02:38:22,920 --> 02:38:24,400 Suddenly I remembered Queenie Edwards. 3105 02:38:24,400 --> 02:38:25,480 I remembered you were telling me what? 3106 02:38:25,480 --> 02:38:27,320 She looked like after. But what did you do There was. 3107 02:38:27,320 --> 02:38:29,280 Only one thing I could do. I went for him. 3108 02:38:29,480 --> 02:38:30,480 Oh, we must. Have thought I'd start. 3109 02:38:30,480 --> 02:38:32,720 Staring mad. I shouted, I kicked, I 3110 02:38:32,720 --> 02:38:34,600 scratched. In the end you realised that the 3111 02:38:34,600 --> 02:38:36,080 game was up and he made a dash for it. 3112 02:38:36,640 --> 02:38:38,720 It must have been a very nasty experience. 3113 02:38:38,720 --> 02:38:41,640 Oh, it was horrible. Frankly, I'm exhausted. 3114 02:38:42,040 --> 02:38:45,960 What was he like, this man? Well, he was tall about your 3115 02:38:45,960 --> 02:38:48,760 build, I suppose, but I've no idea what he really looked like. 3116 02:38:48,800 --> 02:38:50,160 I'm afraid there's not very hopeful. 3117 02:38:51,000 --> 02:38:52,400 By the way, have you told the police about this? 3118 02:38:52,400 --> 02:38:55,880 Not yet, but I intend to. Oh, incidentally, I found this 3119 02:38:55,880 --> 02:38:57,520 temple. It was on the floor near the 3120 02:38:57,520 --> 02:38:59,360 bed. What is it, Paul? 3121 02:38:59,440 --> 02:39:02,240 It's a small buckle, I think I must have pulled it off his 3122 02:39:02,240 --> 02:39:03,640 wristwatch while we were struggling. 3123 02:39:03,720 --> 02:39:05,360 You sure it isn't yours? Oh, quite sure. 3124 02:39:06,040 --> 02:39:07,880 Now, what shall I do? Give it to the police? 3125 02:39:07,880 --> 02:39:08,680 No, no, no. It's all right. 3126 02:39:08,720 --> 02:39:11,560 I'll take care of this. What are you going to do now? 3127 02:39:11,560 --> 02:39:14,240 Go back to your flat? Oh, no, I couldn't possibly go 3128 02:39:14,240 --> 02:39:16,680 back there. I should be terrified. 3129 02:39:17,600 --> 02:39:19,920 I'm going to friends. They've been very sweet and 3130 02:39:19,920 --> 02:39:21,200 offered to put me up for the night. 3131 02:39:21,960 --> 02:39:23,880 I shall probably go down to Marlow tomorrow. 3132 02:39:23,880 --> 02:39:25,760 No, I'll have a word with the yard about this, Cherie. 3133 02:39:26,400 --> 02:39:28,160 Meanwhile, take care of yourself. 3134 02:39:28,160 --> 02:39:31,200 Well, I'll try. But really. 3135 02:39:32,160 --> 02:39:35,120 Good night, Mrs Temple. Good night, Mr Cherie. 3136 02:39:43,320 --> 02:39:45,160 Paul, do you think Shelley was telling the truth? 3137 02:39:45,320 --> 02:39:46,520 Well, he seemed very overwrought. 3138 02:39:47,040 --> 02:39:48,520 Yes, I think he was telling the truth. 3139 02:39:49,720 --> 02:39:51,440 He certainly looked as if he'd been in a fight. 3140 02:39:52,560 --> 02:39:55,200 What's the matter with Charlie? Well, if you didn't forget your 3141 02:39:55,200 --> 02:39:57,840 key every time you go out, there wouldn't be any need for to 3142 02:39:57,880 --> 02:39:58,680 answer the door. Ah, here. 3143 02:39:59,000 --> 02:40:03,400 He is. We thought you'd gone to bed, 3144 02:40:03,400 --> 02:40:05,720 Charlie. No, I've been listening to the 3145 02:40:05,720 --> 02:40:06,960 words. Any messages, Charlie? 3146 02:40:07,320 --> 02:40:09,880 Yeah, Mrs Desmond telephoned. As a matter of. 3147 02:40:09,880 --> 02:40:11,040 Fact. She phoned two or three times. 3148 02:40:11,040 --> 02:40:12,160 Mrs Desmond. That's right. 3149 02:40:12,400 --> 02:40:13,960 She said she wanted to see you climbing. 3150 02:40:13,960 --> 02:40:15,200 She didn't have sound in this due. 3151 02:40:15,200 --> 02:40:17,280 Is she phoning again? Well, I don't know. 3152 02:40:17,640 --> 02:40:19,320 She said she was speaking from the Commodore Club. 3153 02:40:19,640 --> 02:40:21,160 I think she wants you to go around there. 3154 02:40:21,280 --> 02:40:23,080 To the Commodore, yeah. What do you mean? 3155 02:40:23,080 --> 02:40:24,440 You think she wants us to go around there? 3156 02:40:24,600 --> 02:40:27,000 Well, she seemed so at up it was difficult to understand after 3157 02:40:27,000 --> 02:40:29,720 what she was talking about. When I said you wasn't in, she 3158 02:40:29,720 --> 02:40:31,440 said tell Mister Temple it's urgent. 3159 02:40:31,560 --> 02:40:33,520 I'm at the Commodore Club. If she phones again, Charlie, 3160 02:40:33,520 --> 02:40:34,840 tell her we're on the way. Okey, doke. 3161 02:40:34,840 --> 02:40:46,960 Come on, Steve. I wonder if she's upstairs, 3162 02:40:46,960 --> 02:40:48,720 Steve. Oh well, how do you think she'd 3163 02:40:48,720 --> 02:40:50,600 wait for us upstairs? Darling, this. 3164 02:40:51,120 --> 02:40:53,840 Hello there. Hello, McCall, what are you 3165 02:40:53,840 --> 02:40:55,480 doing at the Commodore? I have taken over. 3166 02:40:55,480 --> 02:40:57,960 Didn't Mr Drosda tell you? Oh yes, yes, of course. 3167 02:40:57,960 --> 02:41:00,040 I remember the manager was taken in or something. 3168 02:41:00,040 --> 02:41:01,120 Yeah, that's right. Appendicitis. 3169 02:41:01,200 --> 02:41:05,240 Oh, acute appendicitis. I suppose you're looking for a 3170 02:41:05,240 --> 02:41:07,280 Missus Desmond. Why yes. 3171 02:41:07,440 --> 02:41:09,400 She's been expecting you for the last hour or so. 3172 02:41:09,680 --> 02:41:12,040 Boy, was she in a flat doodle. Where is she now? 3173 02:41:12,520 --> 02:41:14,120 She left about four or five minutes ago. 3174 02:41:14,120 --> 02:41:16,040 Did you say where she was going? No, I'm afraid she didn't. 3175 02:41:16,360 --> 02:41:18,880 Wonder she's gone to the flat. That's probably what's happened. 3176 02:41:18,880 --> 02:41:20,040 Well, you've only just missed her. 3177 02:41:20,840 --> 02:41:24,720 Tell me this, Missus Desmond, is she the person that was mixed up 3178 02:41:24,720 --> 02:41:27,160 with the Miss Millicent case? The one with the baby girl. 3179 02:41:27,160 --> 02:41:30,400 Yes, why do you ask? Oh, I am. 3180 02:41:31,280 --> 02:41:43,440 I wondered, that's all. I thought you parked the car 3181 02:41:43,440 --> 02:41:44,760 here. No, darling, it's just around 3182 02:41:44,760 --> 02:41:46,680 the corner. We went in the side entrance, 3183 02:41:46,920 --> 02:41:48,000 remember?

Oh good, is that your parcel on 3188 02:42:02,280 --> 02:42:05,360 the back seat? Well, oh. 3189 02:42:05,880 --> 02:42:09,040 What is it?

What do things happen? 3219 02:44:32,840 --> 02:44:35,120 I don't know, unless Missus Desmond decided to wait. 3220 02:44:35,120 --> 02:44:39,640 Let me have a look at that doll. Paul, that's an ambulance. 3221 02:44:39,880 --> 02:44:41,480 Which way did it go? Round to the right. 3222 02:44:41,640 --> 02:44:43,120 That's the back of the Commodore Club. 3223 02:44:43,440 --> 02:44:44,920 Stay here. Where are you going? 3224 02:44:44,920 --> 02:44:47,800 I'm going back to the Commodore. Here's McCall. 3225 02:44:47,800 --> 02:44:50,520 Jumbled. Wait a minute, what a bit of 3226 02:44:50,520 --> 02:44:51,280 temple? What's happened? 3227 02:44:51,640 --> 02:44:54,680 GI, I'm glad I caught you. One of the bad boys went out for 3228 02:44:54,680 --> 02:44:56,800 a breath of air. He found Missus Desmond and the 3229 02:44:56,800 --> 02:44:59,040 Muse at the back of the club. She was beaten up. 3230 02:44:59,560 --> 02:45:01,520 Is she badly hurt? Yeah, she's in a pretty bad way. 3231 02:45:01,520 --> 02:45:02,400 We've sent for an. Ambulance. 3232 02:45:02,400 --> 02:45:04,040 Come on, McCall, take the car back to the flat. 3233 02:45:04,040 --> 02:45:05,920 Steve, I'll see you later. What shall I do with the doll? 3234 02:45:05,960 --> 02:45:07,920 Where did you get that doll? It was in my. 3235 02:45:07,920 --> 02:45:11,200 Car in your car? Yes, That's very odd, isn't it? 3236 02:45:11,600 --> 02:45:14,480 Why have you seen it before, Mr McCall? 3237 02:45:14,680 --> 02:45:17,040 Yes, of course it belongs to Missus Desmond. 3238 02:45:17,440 --> 02:45:19,760 How do you know? She had it with her earlier in 3239 02:45:19,760 --> 02:45:21,800 the evening. I mean she told me that she was 3240 02:45:21,800 --> 02:45:23,440 taking her down to Eastbourne for a little girl. 3241 02:45:24,080 --> 02:45:27,320 How to get into your car. Paul, do you see what happened? 3242 02:45:27,840 --> 02:45:29,840 Mary Desmond got tired of waiting. 3243 02:45:29,840 --> 02:45:31,920 She must have walked out of the club just as we drove up. 3244 02:45:32,320 --> 02:45:34,920 When she found the car was unlocked, she got in to wait. 3245 02:45:34,920 --> 02:45:36,760 For us. But someone spotted her and 3246 02:45:36,800 --> 02:45:39,400 dragged her out. She has just about it. 3247 02:45:39,400 --> 02:45:41,960 Mrs Temple, that's just about. It yes. 3248 02:45:42,280 --> 02:45:51,880 Come on, McCall. No, Inspector. 3249 02:45:52,000 --> 02:45:53,720 Hi Tambo. It doesn't take you long to get 3250 02:45:53,720 --> 02:45:55,200 here. The matron of some out is a 3251 02:45:55,200 --> 02:45:57,040 friend of mine. I was at the hospital when the 3252 02:45:57,040 --> 02:45:58,040 call came through. Oh, I see. 3253 02:45:58,400 --> 02:46:00,560 It's a nasty business. Is she badly hurt? 3254 02:46:00,680 --> 02:46:03,200 Very badly, I'm afraid. A long time since I've seen 3255 02:46:03,200 --> 02:46:05,840 anything like it, I've had to get my hands on the swine who 3256 02:46:05,840 --> 02:46:07,080 did it. Is she conscious? 3257 02:46:07,240 --> 02:46:09,480 Just about. Do you think I could see her? 3258 02:46:09,600 --> 02:46:11,520 Well, actually, I had an appointment with her. 3259 02:46:11,760 --> 02:46:12,440 You had? Yes. 3260 02:46:12,440 --> 02:46:14,320 That's why I'm here. Why did you arrange to meet her 3261 02:46:14,320 --> 02:46:16,040 at the Commodore Club? Yeah, she telephoned two or 3262 02:46:16,040 --> 02:46:17,880 three times, but unfortunately I was out. 3263 02:46:17,880 --> 02:46:20,320 Excuse me, Inspector. Yes, miss, we're leaving now. 3264 02:46:21,000 --> 02:46:22,840 Oh, this is Mr Temple. He wants to have a word with Mrs 3265 02:46:22,840 --> 02:46:24,480 Desmond. Do you think he could travel 3266 02:46:24,480 --> 02:46:26,880 back with you in the ambulance? Yes, I think that'll be all 3267 02:46:26,880 --> 02:46:27,680 right. Thank you, Ness. 3268 02:46:27,960 --> 02:46:29,160 I'll see you at the hospital, inspector. 3269 02:46:29,680 --> 02:46:45,130 This way, Mr Temple. Then Mrs Desmond. 3270 02:46:46,250 --> 02:46:49,240 I got tired of waiting so I went outside. 3271 02:46:50,560 --> 02:46:54,720 I saw you drive up but I didn't want to go into the club again 3272 02:46:55,520 --> 02:46:56,840 so I went to your. Car. 3273 02:46:58,360 --> 02:47:03,000 I meant to wait for you in the car, but he saw me. 3274 02:47:03,560 --> 02:47:06,960 Who saw you? Mrs Desmond Van Dyke. 3275 02:47:07,760 --> 02:47:11,720 Yes, he dragged me out of the car. 3276 02:47:11,720 --> 02:47:18,680 He hit me. It's all right, Mrs Desmond. 3277 02:47:18,840 --> 02:47:20,880 Nobody's going to hurt you. There's no need to worry. 3278 02:47:21,600 --> 02:47:23,080 We're taking you to the hospital. 3279 02:47:23,200 --> 02:47:25,280 You'll be perfectly all right. To the hospital. 3280 02:47:26,240 --> 02:47:29,360 You're taking me. Taking me? 3281 02:47:31,240 --> 02:47:32,960 Who is that? Who is it? 3282 02:47:32,960 --> 02:47:34,960 It's me, Mrs Desmond. Paul Temple. 3283 02:47:35,600 --> 02:47:37,880 Don't remember You wanted to see me. 3284 02:47:38,160 --> 02:47:41,680 Temple. Oh yes, yes, of course. 3285 02:47:42,480 --> 02:47:49,600 I I telephoned you, didn't I? I wanted to tell you about about 3286 02:47:50,080 --> 02:47:54,960 Miss Millicent. Yes, what about Miss Millicent? 3287 02:47:56,600 --> 02:47:58,800 She didn't know what was in the packages. 3288 02:48:00,160 --> 02:48:05,040 We never told her that she was helping to distribute drugs. 3289 02:48:06,920 --> 02:48:10,960 Go on, Mrs Desmond. One day she opened one of the 3290 02:48:10,960 --> 02:48:14,440 packages. It was meant for Mrs Trusty. 3291 02:48:15,800 --> 02:48:18,800 When she discovered what it was, she wanted to go to the police. 3292 02:48:20,040 --> 02:48:24,040 We told her that if she did, we'd say that she was one of us. 3293 02:48:24,640 --> 02:48:27,160 Is that why she disappeared? Why she took the child? 3294 02:48:27,960 --> 02:48:33,240 Yes, she thought that if she had the child, she could force us to 3295 02:48:33,240 --> 02:48:35,480 change our minds. What happened? 3296 02:48:36,360 --> 02:48:41,520 We found her and the baby. At least Van Dyke found her. 3297 02:48:42,840 --> 02:48:46,840 He sent for Queenie Edwards. He sent for her because he knew 3298 02:48:46,840 --> 02:48:50,800 that that. That Miss Medicine had confided 3299 02:48:50,800 --> 02:48:55,080 in her. Yes, when he discovered that 3300 02:48:55,080 --> 02:49:03,920 Queen, he worked Madam Flobel. He tried to tried to persuade my 3301 02:49:03,920 --> 02:49:05,520 head. I'm afraid you'll have to be 3302 02:49:05,520 --> 02:49:06,960 kept quiet, Mr Temple. Yes. 3303 02:49:07,000 --> 02:49:08,280 All right. There's just one more question. 3304 02:49:09,800 --> 02:49:14,280 Mrs Desmond, tell me, who is Van Dyke? 3305 02:49:15,080 --> 02:49:19,360 Van Dyke. Van Dyke is. 3306 02:49:22,560 --> 02:49:26,160 Don't let him touch me. Please don't let him touch me. 3307 02:49:27,920 --> 02:49:30,160 It's all right, Missus Desmond. It's all right. 3308 02:49:30,640 --> 02:49:32,360 There's nothing for you to be frightened of. 3309 02:49:33,080 --> 02:49:36,400 Just relax. Just relax. 3310 02:49:56,960 --> 02:49:58,400 Oh, Charlie, I've left the cooker on. 3311 02:49:58,480 --> 02:50:00,320 Yes, all right. Misses Temple never get the 3312 02:50:00,320 --> 02:50:00,880 toast. Sorry. 3313 02:50:00,880 --> 02:50:04,200 Okey doke. Paul, don't eat with your mouth 3314 02:50:04,240 --> 02:50:07,160 full well. How should I eat then? 3315 02:50:07,360 --> 02:50:11,040 Well, I mean, don't eat well, you know what I mean? 3316 02:50:11,400 --> 02:50:14,560 Yes. Dear, oh, is that this morning's 3317 02:50:14,560 --> 02:50:16,280 paper? Can I see it? 3318 02:50:16,960 --> 02:50:20,080 Yeah, there's a photograph of Missus Desmond on the front 3319 02:50:20,080 --> 02:50:22,800 pane. Oh. 3320 02:50:23,640 --> 02:50:26,440 It's pretty gruesome, isn't it? They must have taken it just as 3321 02:50:26,440 --> 02:50:27,520 she was getting into the ambulance. 3322 02:50:27,520 --> 02:50:28,480 It's. Horrible. 3323 02:50:29,560 --> 02:50:34,520 Till indeed, what are you doing this morning? 3324 02:50:34,520 --> 02:50:35,880 See. Why? 3325 02:50:36,200 --> 02:50:38,480 Well, I've got an appointment, Sir Graham at 10:00. 3326 02:50:38,640 --> 02:50:40,640 At the yard. He phoned me about 20 minutes 3327 02:50:40,640 --> 02:50:42,200 ago. They intend to ask Terry Palmer 3328 02:50:42,200 --> 02:50:44,880 a few questions. After what happened last night, 3329 02:50:44,880 --> 02:50:47,640 it's not surprising. Do you think that Palmer was 3330 02:50:47,640 --> 02:50:51,240 responsible for what happened? You mean is Terry Palmer, Mr Van 3331 02:50:51,240 --> 02:50:54,440 Dyke? Yes, we shall see. 3332 02:50:55,520 --> 02:50:57,760 You can bet your bottom dollar on one thing, though. 3333 02:50:57,960 --> 02:51:00,520 Whoever was responsible was under the impression that Missus 3334 02:51:00,520 --> 02:51:03,200 Desmond was dead. Otherwise they wouldn't have 3335 02:51:03,200 --> 02:51:04,280 left her. Exactly. 3336 02:51:06,000 --> 02:51:11,000 You know, Paul, I think that Van Dyke, whoever he is, is mad. 3337 02:51:11,280 --> 02:51:12,760 You think he's a criminal lunatic? 3338 02:51:12,880 --> 02:51:15,200 Yes, I do. Don't you? 3339 02:51:16,360 --> 02:51:19,000 After what happened to Missus Desmond, the Queenie Edwards, 3340 02:51:19,000 --> 02:51:20,520 how come I possibly think otherwise? 3341 02:51:20,520 --> 02:51:23,000 Van Dyke's cruel, sadistic and utterly ruthless. 3342 02:51:23,000 --> 02:51:25,680 But he's not mad, darling. He's the same as we are. 3343 02:51:27,480 --> 02:51:30,280 Listen, Steve, there's something I want to ask you. 3344 02:51:30,920 --> 02:51:33,560 Yes. I want you to go away for two or 3345 02:51:33,560 --> 02:51:35,600 three days into the country. Why? 3346 02:51:36,000 --> 02:51:40,480 Well. You want me to go into hiding? 3347 02:51:40,480 --> 02:51:41,160 Is that what you? Mean. 3348 02:51:41,200 --> 02:51:42,880 No, not exactly. Darling, things are coming to a 3349 02:51:42,880 --> 02:51:45,440 head, aren't they? Yes, Steve, they are. 3350 02:51:46,080 --> 02:51:48,680 Well, I'm not going. Away. 3351 02:51:48,720 --> 02:51:50,680 I wouldn't ask you to do this. I've never asked you before. 3352 02:51:50,680 --> 02:51:51,880 We've always been together. But. 3353 02:51:51,880 --> 02:51:53,120 Why are you asking me now? And you? 3354 02:51:53,600 --> 02:51:55,680 Know what happened to Queenie Edwards and Missus Desmond? 3355 02:51:55,800 --> 02:51:58,960 Yes, but I'm staying. I'm not going away. 3356 02:51:58,960 --> 02:52:00,320 No, I don't. It's be stupid about this, 3357 02:52:00,320 --> 02:52:04,600 darling. Paul dear, I am not going away. 3358 02:52:06,320 --> 02:52:09,360 All right, but promise me you'll be on your guard if you get a 3359 02:52:09,360 --> 02:52:10,160 message. Check it. 3360 02:52:10,160 --> 02:52:11,960 It doesn't matter who it's from, whether it's from me or Sir 3361 02:52:11,960 --> 02:52:14,520 Graham or anyone. Check it and double check it. 3362 02:52:14,560 --> 02:52:18,160 All right, dear, What happened last night? 3363 02:52:18,920 --> 02:52:21,440 Was Missus Desmond able to tell you anything? 3364 02:52:21,440 --> 02:52:23,480 She was in a pretty bad state by the time we reached the 3365 02:52:23,480 --> 02:52:24,960 hospital. She passed out completely. 3366 02:52:25,800 --> 02:52:29,320 One thing she did do though, She cleared up the mystery of Miss 3367 02:52:29,320 --> 02:52:31,280 Millicent. I always knew that Miss 3368 02:52:31,280 --> 02:52:34,240 Millicent wasn't kidnapped. Excuse me, Sir, but Missus 3369 02:52:34,240 --> 02:52:37,080 Shelley like to see you. Good morning, Mr Shelley. 3370 02:52:37,080 --> 02:52:39,520 Oh, good morning, Missus Temple. Good morning, Mr Temple, Good 3371 02:52:39,520 --> 02:52:40,440 morning. Oh dear. 3372 02:52:40,760 --> 02:52:43,120 Have I interrupted? Your breakfast again our very 3373 02:52:43,120 --> 02:52:45,480 upsetting I'm so that's all right, Julie, glad to see you 3374 02:52:45,480 --> 02:52:47,120 sit down and have some coffee. Awesome. 3375 02:52:47,360 --> 02:52:50,080 Tea. Well, may I Coffee, please? 3376 02:52:50,080 --> 02:52:51,320 All right. How are you feeling this 3377 02:52:51,320 --> 02:52:52,760 morning? Well, I'm all right, really. 3378 02:52:52,800 --> 02:52:55,720 Just a little stiff after that terrifying experience when you 3379 02:52:55,720 --> 02:52:58,520 were very lucky, Shelley, after what happened to Missus Desmond. 3380 02:52:59,280 --> 02:53:01,920 What you mean? Haven't you seen the papers? 3381 02:53:02,400 --> 02:53:05,200 Why no? Then read this. 3382 02:53:08,640 --> 02:53:12,240 But this is. Appalling, Missus Desmond. 3383 02:53:13,280 --> 02:53:15,520 I can hardly believe it. Well, there you are, Shelly. 3384 02:53:16,080 --> 02:53:18,480 It says here that you were with her, that you went to the 3385 02:53:18,480 --> 02:53:19,600 hospital with her. Yes. 3386 02:53:20,840 --> 02:53:23,400 Was she conscious part of the time? 3387 02:53:23,400 --> 02:53:25,680 Oh, but this is dreadful. Really dreadful. 3388 02:53:25,760 --> 02:53:27,000 Oh, now you know how lucky you are. 3389 02:53:27,080 --> 02:53:31,040 Yes, Temple. Do you think the man who 3390 02:53:31,040 --> 02:53:34,720 attacked me was the same one who nearly murdered Missus Desmond? 3391 02:53:35,280 --> 02:53:37,440 Yes, I do. But why should he attack Missus 3392 02:53:37,440 --> 02:53:38,560 Desmond? I understand that. 3393 02:53:38,560 --> 02:53:40,680 But why should he go for you? Shelley, That's more to the 3394 02:53:40,680 --> 02:53:41,600 point. But what you mean? 3395 02:53:41,640 --> 02:53:43,720 But after all, Missus Desmond was mixed up in the medicine 3396 02:53:43,720 --> 02:53:44,960 affair. It was her baby that 3397 02:53:44,960 --> 02:53:46,760 disappeared. Yes, but I I still don't know 3398 02:53:46,760 --> 02:53:48,760 why I went to the Commodore Club last night. 3399 02:53:48,760 --> 02:53:52,520 No, Missus Desmond sent me an urgent message asking me to meet 3400 02:53:52,520 --> 02:53:53,000 her there. Why? 3401 02:53:53,360 --> 02:53:56,120 Because she wanted to tell me the truth about Miss Millicent 3402 02:53:56,440 --> 02:54:00,000 and about Van Dyke. And did she? 3403 02:54:00,000 --> 02:54:01,880 Unfortunately, she was too. I'll to say much. 3404 02:54:02,440 --> 02:54:05,040 I'm afraid she still is. Here's your coffee, Mr. Shen Oh, 3405 02:54:05,040 --> 02:54:07,080 thank you, Missus Temple. I'll pass it, darling. 3406 02:54:08,160 --> 02:54:10,840 Where did I put my lighter steam? 3407 02:54:10,840 --> 02:54:13,120 I think you put it. Oh, Paul, look, how'd you spill 3408 02:54:13,200 --> 02:54:14,120 a coffee? Oh. 3409 02:54:14,400 --> 02:54:15,920 Paul. Oh, really? 3410 02:54:16,200 --> 02:54:18,720 Stupid off. All over, Mr Shannon. 3411 02:54:18,760 --> 02:54:20,440 Awfully sorry, Shelley. Really. 3412 02:54:20,440 --> 02:54:21,800 Oh, that's. Quite all right. 3413 02:54:22,000 --> 02:54:23,960 It's nothing, really. It's nothing. 3414 02:54:24,280 --> 02:54:27,000 CC I. Have this napkin. 3415 02:54:27,240 --> 02:54:28,480 Look here, you'd better take your jacket. 3416 02:54:28,480 --> 02:54:28,960 No. No. 3417 02:54:28,960 --> 02:54:29,880 Really. Please. 3418 02:54:29,880 --> 02:54:31,400 No, it's nothing. Please don't. 3419 02:54:31,400 --> 02:54:32,040 Bother. Please. 3420 02:54:32,040 --> 02:54:33,200 Oh, what on earth we're thinking? 3421 02:54:33,440 --> 02:54:34,760 I had the coffee in one hand. I was looking. 3422 02:54:35,160 --> 02:54:36,840 Look, look, Shelly, do take your jacket off. 3423 02:54:37,080 --> 02:54:39,960 I'll have a try in no time. Well, all right. 3424 02:54:39,960 --> 02:54:43,200 Did you call Mr Temple? We've had an accident, Charlie, 3425 02:54:43,400 --> 02:54:46,600 just to clear this up, will you? OK, Missus T. 3426 02:54:46,800 --> 02:54:48,440 Come along, Mr Shelly, we're going to the door. 3427 02:54:48,680 --> 02:54:50,320 I'll be with you in a moment. It won't take me long to do 3428 02:54:50,320 --> 02:54:51,720 this. What about your coffee, Sir? 3429 02:54:51,720 --> 02:54:53,160 Will you take it with your if you had enough? 3430 02:54:53,160 --> 02:54:54,600 More than enough. Thank you. 3431 02:55:11,240 --> 02:55:13,240 Here's your jacket, Shelly. I think you'll find it all right 3432 02:55:13,240 --> 02:55:14,440 now. Oh, you shouldn't have bothered. 3433 02:55:14,440 --> 02:55:16,520 I don't think the stain or. Shall No, no, no. 3434 02:55:16,520 --> 02:55:18,280 I'm sure it won't. Thanks. 3435 02:55:20,000 --> 02:55:21,440 No, no, it's all right. Thank you. 3436 02:55:22,400 --> 02:55:27,160 Well, now, I'll tell you what I dropped in about, although I'm 3437 02:55:27,160 --> 02:55:29,280 pretty sure that I wouldn't recognise the man again. 3438 02:55:29,400 --> 02:55:32,000 The man who attacked me, I mean, there was something that I think 3439 02:55:32,000 --> 02:55:35,000 perhaps you ought to know. Well, well, when we were 3440 02:55:35,000 --> 02:55:36,840 struggling, I got hold of his wrist. 3441 02:55:37,040 --> 02:55:39,240 I think it must have been the left one, the one with the watch 3442 02:55:39,240 --> 02:55:39,720 on. Yes. 3443 02:55:40,120 --> 02:55:43,760 Well, it may have been my imagination, but I think he was 3444 02:55:43,760 --> 02:55:46,560 wearing a bracelet. A bracelet? 3445 02:55:46,560 --> 02:55:48,880 Yes, You know, the sort of thing I mean, with an identity disc 3446 02:55:48,880 --> 02:55:50,840 attached to it. Oh, what's the matter there? 3447 02:55:51,800 --> 02:55:54,200 Nothing else. I'm just thinking, that's all. 3448 02:55:54,400 --> 02:55:56,360 Why do you know anyone who wears a bracelet like that? 3449 02:55:56,360 --> 02:55:58,880 Missus Temple? Well, well, do you, Steve? 3450 02:55:59,320 --> 02:56:03,920 Yes, and so do you, darling. Mr Dosty wears an identity 3451 02:56:03,920 --> 02:56:06,080 bracelet. He was wearing it in Paris when 3452 02:56:06,080 --> 02:56:07,720 he saw him at the restaurant. Mr Dosty. 3453 02:56:07,720 --> 02:56:09,400 But Dost is in Paris. He left last night. 3454 02:56:09,400 --> 02:56:11,520 How do you know? Did you see him leave? 3455 02:56:11,800 --> 02:56:13,160 No, but he. Just a moment. 3456 02:56:13,440 --> 02:56:15,960 Is this Mr Dosty, the millionaire who owns the 3457 02:56:15,960 --> 02:56:17,920 Commodore Club and the words with the tail at Marlow? 3458 02:56:17,920 --> 02:56:18,960 Yes. Do you know him? 3459 02:56:19,360 --> 02:56:21,320 No, No, I've seen him at the House. 3460 02:56:21,360 --> 02:56:25,160 Of course. He's a rather thick set, swarthy 3461 02:56:25,160 --> 02:56:26,320 individual. Yes, that's right. 3462 02:56:27,040 --> 02:56:30,280 You know, that might have been dusty last night. 3463 02:56:30,720 --> 02:56:32,760 I never thought of that. But you said the man was about 3464 02:56:32,760 --> 02:56:34,520 my build. Yes. 3465 02:56:34,560 --> 02:56:38,760 Yeah, yes, I know I did. But what time did the plane 3466 02:56:38,760 --> 02:56:39,880 leave? I believe he called the last 3467 02:56:39,880 --> 02:56:41,160 plane. Well, there you are. 3468 02:56:41,680 --> 02:56:44,880 Oh, you mean that even if he did leave for Paris last night, he 3469 02:56:44,880 --> 02:56:46,960 could still have attacked both you and Missus Desmond? 3470 02:56:46,960 --> 02:56:51,080 Precisely, Missus Temple. Shirley, I think perhaps you'd 3471 02:56:51,080 --> 02:56:52,640 better have a word with Inspector Eden about this. 3472 02:56:53,120 --> 02:56:55,320 I have an appointment with Sir Graham at 10:00, so you'd better 3473 02:56:55,320 --> 02:56:57,440 come along with me. Well, it's nearly 9:45 now. 3474 02:56:57,440 --> 02:56:58,680 Yes, I know. Have you got your car here? 3475 02:56:58,680 --> 02:57:00,560 No, I'm afraid I haven't. Well, we can pick a cab up at 3476 02:57:00,560 --> 02:57:02,760 the end of the road. I don't know what time I should 3477 02:57:02,760 --> 02:57:04,840 be back, Steve, but don't forget what I told you. 3478 02:57:05,160 --> 02:57:06,800 Hi, Sean. Well, goodbye, Missus Temple. 3479 02:57:06,800 --> 02:57:08,520 I'm so sorry if I made a nuisance. 3480 02:57:08,520 --> 02:57:10,880 Of Oh no you haven't. Well, I hope I shall see you 3481 02:57:10,880 --> 02:57:12,680 again sometime. I hope so. 3482 02:57:12,720 --> 02:57:15,760 Next time you drop in, bring your oil skin. 3483 02:57:32,890 --> 02:57:35,970 I take it then, temple, that Missus Desmond saw you drive up 3484 02:57:35,970 --> 02:57:38,730 to the Commodore and decided to wait for you in the car? 3485 02:57:38,770 --> 02:57:40,850 Yes, Sir Graham, she may have thought that Van Dyke was 3486 02:57:40,850 --> 02:57:43,450 watching her and that my car was a safe hiding place in case you 3487 02:57:43,450 --> 02:57:45,290 couldn't very well miss you if she waited in the car. 3488 02:57:45,290 --> 02:57:47,050 Exactly. You know, that's fine. 3489 02:57:47,050 --> 02:57:48,970 Mr dragged her out of the car and into the muse. 3490 02:57:49,490 --> 02:57:52,240 Have you questioned her yet? I've just had a message from the 3491 02:57:52,240 --> 02:57:55,120 hospital temple. This is Desmond's dead. 3492 02:57:55,120 --> 02:57:58,560 Oh. I'm sorry, does Palmer know? 3493 02:57:58,560 --> 02:58:00,840 Yes, I told Eden to break the news to him. 3494 02:58:02,080 --> 02:58:04,040 So Miss Millicent kidnapped the child. 3495 02:58:04,200 --> 02:58:07,240 Yes, as soon as the baby disappeared, Missus Desmond flew 3496 02:58:07,240 --> 02:58:09,240 into a panic and went to the police. 3497 02:58:09,560 --> 02:58:11,640 Go on, Temple. Well, Miss Millicent got 3498 02:58:11,640 --> 02:58:14,240 frightened by all the publicity and told Queenie that she 3499 02:58:14,240 --> 02:58:17,520 intended to return the child. Then Queenie had a brain wave. 3500 02:58:18,040 --> 02:58:20,640 She told Miss Medicine that before returning the child, 3501 02:58:20,800 --> 02:58:23,640 they'd get their own back by throwing suspicion onto Terry 3502 02:58:23,640 --> 02:58:25,000 Palmer. Yeah, but how could Queen 3503 02:58:25,000 --> 02:58:26,480 Edwards throw suspicion onto Palmer? 3504 02:58:26,560 --> 02:58:28,240 Well, she was friendly with Bert Walters. 3505 02:58:28,280 --> 02:58:30,400 Bert Walters? Yes, the cloakroom attendant at 3506 02:58:30,400 --> 02:58:32,960 the Commodore Club. She discovered that Palmer was a 3507 02:58:32,960 --> 02:58:35,680 member of the Commodore, and she persuaded Walters to take the 3508 02:58:35,680 --> 02:58:37,280 attache case containing the doll. 3509 02:58:37,680 --> 02:58:39,800 She got a cloakroom ticket from Walters, which she intended to 3510 02:58:39,800 --> 02:58:42,760 send to the police. In turn, Walters promised that 3511 02:58:42,760 --> 02:58:45,800 when the case was claimed, he throws suspicion onto Palmer. 3512 02:58:46,000 --> 02:58:47,720 Look here. This is news to me about Burt 3513 02:58:47,720 --> 02:58:49,640 Walters. We've had him here at the Yard. 3514 02:58:49,640 --> 02:58:50,960 We've questioned him half a dozen times. 3515 02:58:50,960 --> 02:58:53,280 Yes, I know you have, Inspector. You scared the pants or the poor 3516 02:58:53,280 --> 02:58:55,240 Little Chef? When did you see him? 3517 02:58:55,240 --> 02:58:58,240 Temple yesterday morning. Surprising what a nice cigar and 3518 02:58:58,240 --> 02:59:02,200 a cup of tea will do, yes? Well, go on Temple. 3519 02:59:02,680 --> 02:59:06,040 Well, Queenie was playing her cards very nicely, and then 3520 02:59:06,040 --> 02:59:08,880 suddenly Van Dyke played an ace. How do you mean? 3521 02:59:08,920 --> 02:59:10,640 He found Miss Millicent and the baby. 3522 02:59:10,720 --> 02:59:12,280 That's why Queenie, it was went down to Marlow. 3523 02:59:12,280 --> 02:59:14,800 Van Dyke sent for her, and he made her a proposition. 3524 02:59:15,240 --> 02:59:18,200 He said she either had to work for him or he'd informed the 3525 02:59:18,200 --> 02:59:20,000 police that she'd been responsible for the 3526 02:59:20,000 --> 02:59:22,840 disappearance of the baby. Now Queenie was frightened. 3527 02:59:22,840 --> 02:59:25,760 She didn't know what to do. She told Van Dyke that she'd 3528 02:59:25,760 --> 02:59:29,760 consider the proposition. Later that night, she reached a 3529 02:59:29,760 --> 02:59:32,960 decision, as you know. She arranged to meet you at 3530 02:59:32,960 --> 02:59:35,160 Paddington and sent you the programme. 3531 02:59:35,160 --> 02:59:37,160 Ticket. Yes, but Van Dyke or someone 3532 02:59:37,160 --> 02:59:41,040 else must have overheard our conversation because, well, I 3533 02:59:41,040 --> 02:59:42,400 don't even know what happened to Queenie. 3534 02:59:42,520 --> 02:59:44,360 McCall could have overheard that conversation. 3535 02:59:44,640 --> 02:59:47,040 The phone call was made from the words with yes. 3536 02:59:47,800 --> 02:59:50,520 Temple, I don't dispute what you've told us, but as a matter 3537 02:59:50,520 --> 02:59:53,160 of fact, it seems to make sense. But but what? 3538 02:59:53,880 --> 02:59:56,000 Well, it means we can cross a Teddy Palmer off the list, 3539 02:59:56,000 --> 02:59:58,080 doesn't it? Obviously Palmer isn't Van Dyke 3540 02:59:58,080 --> 02:59:59,400 otherwise. I don't agree, Inspector. 3541 03:00:00,520 --> 03:00:04,120 Palmer may well be Van Dyke. Don't forget it was Van Dyke who 3542 03:00:04,120 --> 03:00:05,880 discovered Miss Millicent and the baby. 3543 03:00:07,120 --> 03:00:09,640 It seems to me that Palmer was in a better position than anyone 3544 03:00:09,640 --> 03:00:11,080 else for tracking down this Millicent. 3545 03:00:11,080 --> 03:00:13,320 That's very true, Sir Graham. Yes, I suppose it is. 3546 03:00:13,600 --> 03:00:15,800 Have you picked up Palmer? Yes, he's in a pretty bad way, 3547 03:00:15,800 --> 03:00:17,840 I'm afraid. Miss Desmond affair last night 3548 03:00:17,840 --> 03:00:20,040 has certainly shaken him. We'll have Palmer in here. 3549 03:00:20,040 --> 03:00:21,960 Temple wouldn't have a word with him. 3550 03:00:23,720 --> 03:00:25,120 Bring Mr Palmer in here, Sergeant. 3551 03:00:25,720 --> 03:00:28,560 Very good, Sir. What do you make of Roger 3552 03:00:28,560 --> 03:00:30,200 Shelley Temple? Now? 3553 03:00:30,200 --> 03:00:33,040 It seems to me he's not quite so naive as he makes himself out to 3554 03:00:33,040 --> 03:00:34,240 be. Did he tell you what happened to 3555 03:00:34,240 --> 03:00:35,560 him last night? He certainly did do. 3556 03:00:36,040 --> 03:00:37,640 You believe that story of his dump? 3557 03:00:38,480 --> 03:00:39,680 Yes, I do, Sir. Graham. 3558 03:00:42,960 --> 03:00:44,720 Mr Palmer, Sir. Oh yes. 3559 03:00:45,560 --> 03:00:48,160 Good morning, Mr Palmer. Good morning, All right, 3560 03:00:48,160 --> 03:00:48,840 Sergeant. Thank you. 3561 03:00:49,920 --> 03:00:52,160 Will you sit down over there, Mr Palmer? 3562 03:00:52,440 --> 03:00:54,440 If you don't mind, I should prefer to stand. 3563 03:00:56,000 --> 03:00:59,120 Palmer, we understand that Missus Desmond was a friend of 3564 03:00:59,120 --> 03:01:01,000 yours. Married Desmond is a very dear 3565 03:01:01,000 --> 03:01:02,480 friend of mine. You know that as well as I do. 3566 03:01:02,720 --> 03:01:06,520 Now, what's all this about? Missus Desmond was murdered last 3567 03:01:06,520 --> 03:01:09,800 night. It's our job to find out exactly 3568 03:01:09,800 --> 03:01:11,720 who murdered her. What do you mean exactly? 3569 03:01:11,720 --> 03:01:13,600 Who murdered her? I mean that quite a lot of 3570 03:01:13,600 --> 03:01:16,640 people in one way or another have contributed to her death, 3571 03:01:17,600 --> 03:01:21,320 but at the present moment we're concerned with the identity of 3572 03:01:21,320 --> 03:01:24,560 the actual murderer. Well, I'm sorry I can't help 3573 03:01:24,560 --> 03:01:26,280 you. I think you can help. 3574 03:01:26,280 --> 03:01:26,720 Us. Now look here. 3575 03:01:26,720 --> 03:01:28,840 Let's get this straight. All I know about last night is 3576 03:01:28,840 --> 03:01:29,920 what I've read in the newspapers. 3577 03:01:30,240 --> 03:01:32,240 I've already counted my movements to Sergeant Written or 3578 03:01:32,240 --> 03:01:34,240 Reaper, whatever his name is, and there's nothing more I can 3579 03:01:34,240 --> 03:01:37,120 tell you. In other words, you will refuse 3580 03:01:37,120 --> 03:01:37,480 to help. Us. 3581 03:01:37,480 --> 03:01:38,680 It's just a. Question of refusing. 3582 03:01:38,680 --> 03:01:40,680 If you really want to find out who murdered Missus Desmond, 3583 03:01:40,680 --> 03:01:42,920 take your behind of that chair and stop asking a lot of fatuous 3584 03:01:42,920 --> 03:01:44,600 questions. There's no need to be rude, 3585 03:01:44,600 --> 03:01:46,640 Palmer. I'm sorry. 3586 03:01:47,400 --> 03:01:49,640 I'm awfully sorry. I shouldn't have said that, 3587 03:01:50,400 --> 03:01:51,640 Palmer. Yes. 3588 03:01:52,560 --> 03:01:54,120 What happened after I left you last night? 3589 03:01:54,440 --> 03:01:56,240 What do you mean, what happened? What did you do? 3590 03:01:56,800 --> 03:02:00,120 I I finished typing the article I was writing, had a drink and 3591 03:02:00,120 --> 03:02:01,480 they went to bed. I thought you'd finished the 3592 03:02:01,480 --> 03:02:03,480 article when I arrived. I didn't like part of it, so I 3593 03:02:03,480 --> 03:02:06,000 retyped it. Did you receive any telephone 3594 03:02:06,000 --> 03:02:07,600 calls? No. 3595 03:02:07,600 --> 03:02:09,600 Missus Desmond didn't call you, but if I didn't receive any 3596 03:02:09,600 --> 03:02:11,560 telephone calls, she couldn't have called me, could she? 3597 03:02:12,600 --> 03:02:15,120 Pam, I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to ask you rather a 3598 03:02:15,120 --> 03:02:17,920 personal question. I'm getting used to personal 3599 03:02:17,920 --> 03:02:19,280 questions. Go on. 3600 03:02:20,200 --> 03:02:22,560 How long have you worn an identity bracelet? 3601 03:02:42,160 --> 03:02:43,600 I bought you some tea. Misses Temple. 3602 03:02:45,400 --> 03:02:52,680 Where should I put the tray? Misses Temple. 3603 03:02:53,840 --> 03:02:56,040 Beryl's got the. Afternoon off, Do you think I 3604 03:02:56,040 --> 03:02:59,760 could pop out for an hour or so? I'll be back before dinner. 3605 03:03:00,800 --> 03:03:03,400 Everything's ready. All right, Charlie, but don't be 3606 03:03:03,440 --> 03:03:06,320 later than six, will you? OK, Well, it's all right. 3607 03:03:06,520 --> 03:03:07,600 You'll get off. I'll answer it. 3608 03:03:07,640 --> 03:03:08,520 Thanks. Missus Temple. 3609 03:03:12,520 --> 03:03:15,040 Good afternoon. Could I see Mr Temple, please? 3610 03:03:15,240 --> 03:03:17,200 Oh, I'm sorry. He isn't in at the moment. 3611 03:03:17,400 --> 03:03:20,480 Oh, have you any idea when he'll be back? 3612 03:03:20,840 --> 03:03:24,040 Well, is it Missus Temple? Yes. 3613 03:03:24,640 --> 03:03:27,080 Oh, I'm Mary in favour. Missus Temple. 3614 03:03:27,240 --> 03:03:30,080 Oh, good afternoon, Miss Faber. I'm sorry, but my husband won't 3615 03:03:30,080 --> 03:03:31,640 be back until about 5:00. Yeah. 3616 03:03:31,640 --> 03:03:32,400 Hot. A nuisance. 3617 03:03:32,400 --> 03:03:33,960 And I've come all the way from Chelsea. 3618 03:03:34,360 --> 03:03:36,120 I suppose I ought to telephone. Really. 3619 03:03:36,120 --> 03:03:40,040 It was stupid of me. Well, it's almost 4:30 if you 3620 03:03:40,040 --> 03:03:41,400 get a. Wait, May I? 3621 03:03:41,520 --> 03:03:43,680 That's very kind of you. Do come in. 3622 03:03:43,720 --> 03:03:47,880 Thank you. Sit down, won't you? 3623 03:03:47,880 --> 03:03:51,840 Thank you. Would you like some tea? 3624 03:03:51,920 --> 03:03:54,240 Oh, really? I've feel I'm putting you to a 3625 03:03:54,240 --> 03:03:55,440 lot of trouble. No, not at all. 3626 03:03:55,440 --> 03:03:56,680 It's here. I was just going to have some 3627 03:03:56,680 --> 03:03:57,720 myself. Well, thank you. 3628 03:03:57,720 --> 03:04:01,920 I'd love a cup. What a charming room. 3629 03:04:02,240 --> 03:04:03,680 It is. Rather nice, isn't it? 3630 03:04:03,680 --> 03:04:06,600 Oh, I say that's delightful. It's French, isn't it? 3631 03:04:06,840 --> 03:04:08,640 Yes. It's by Francois Row. 3632 03:04:08,840 --> 03:04:11,600 Francois Row? This is not very well known, I'm 3633 03:04:11,600 --> 03:04:13,560 afraid. Oh, but it's charming. 3634 03:04:14,200 --> 03:04:16,560 Did you buy it over here? Yes, we bought from a little 3635 03:04:16,560 --> 03:04:18,680 shop in German street. Do you take milk? 3636 03:04:18,760 --> 03:04:22,320 Yes, please. Will you help yourself to sugar? 3637 03:04:22,720 --> 03:04:26,640 Yeah. What is it you wanted to see my 3638 03:04:26,640 --> 03:04:29,920 husband about? Well, I don't know whether he 3639 03:04:29,920 --> 03:04:32,040 told you what happened the other night when he came to my 3640 03:04:32,040 --> 03:04:33,680 bungalow. Yes, as a matter of fact, he 3641 03:04:33,680 --> 03:04:35,760 did. Well, I'm afraid I I was very 3642 03:04:35,760 --> 03:04:37,760 rude to him and rather stupid into the bargain. 3643 03:04:37,840 --> 03:04:41,440 Stupid about what? Well, just as Mr Temple was 3644 03:04:41,440 --> 03:04:43,040 leaving, he noticed a photograph. 3645 03:04:43,040 --> 03:04:46,240 Would you excuse me? Hello. 3646 03:04:46,960 --> 03:04:48,880 Could I speak to Doctor Wilbur please? 3647 03:04:49,480 --> 03:04:51,360 I'm sorry, I'm afraid you got the wrong number. 3648 03:04:51,360 --> 03:04:53,400 Isn't. That Doctor Wilbur, it was 3649 03:04:53,400 --> 03:04:54,320 House. No. 3650 03:04:55,080 --> 03:04:58,040 Aren't you my 5101? No, I'm afraid not. 3651 03:04:58,640 --> 03:04:59,880 Oh dear. I'm very sorry. 3652 03:05:00,640 --> 03:05:02,800 So sorry to have troubled you. That's all right. 3653 03:05:04,920 --> 03:05:08,520 Wrong number. What were you saying, Miss Fava? 3654 03:05:08,840 --> 03:05:11,920 I was saying just as your husband was leaving, he noticed 3655 03:05:11,920 --> 03:05:15,080 a photograph of Terry Palmer. Oh, yes, I understand. 3656 03:05:15,080 --> 03:05:17,200 He's a friend of yours. Yes, but we don't see a great 3657 03:05:17,200 --> 03:05:18,480 deal of each other. No. 3658 03:05:18,480 --> 03:05:22,640 No. Well, it occurred to me after Mr 3659 03:05:22,640 --> 03:05:26,160 Temple had left that I might have given the impression that I 3660 03:05:26,160 --> 03:05:28,040 was trying to throw suspicion on to Terry. 3661 03:05:28,440 --> 03:05:29,400 Suspicion. Yes. 3662 03:05:30,480 --> 03:05:33,920 You see, your husband questioned me about a letter or stupid 3663 03:05:33,920 --> 03:05:37,680 letter I sent to Roger Shelley. It was written exactly as Miss 3664 03:05:37,680 --> 03:05:41,400 Millicent would write it, and Mr Temple was anxious to know how I 3665 03:05:41,400 --> 03:05:43,120 was able to copy Miss Millicent's hand. 3666 03:05:43,120 --> 03:05:45,480 Oh, yes. I remember you told Paul that 3667 03:05:45,480 --> 03:05:47,920 someone gave you a sample of Miss Millicent's writing. 3668 03:05:48,560 --> 03:05:50,120 You refused to tell him who it was? 3669 03:05:50,200 --> 03:05:52,720 Yes. Now you're worried in case he's 3670 03:05:52,720 --> 03:05:54,960 jumped to the conclusion that it was Terry Palmer. 3671 03:05:55,200 --> 03:05:57,360 Well, I don't want him to think that I was trying to throw a 3672 03:05:57,360 --> 03:05:59,720 suspicion onto Terry. You know, Miss Faber, if you 3673 03:05:59,720 --> 03:06:02,240 take my advice. Yes, wretched folks. 3674 03:06:04,640 --> 03:06:07,240 Hello, Steve. Hello, Paul. 3675 03:06:07,440 --> 03:06:09,880 Look, Steve, I doubt whether I should be home much before 6:00, 3676 03:06:09,880 --> 03:06:12,600 so I was wondering. If you Paul, Miss Faber's here, 3677 03:06:12,760 --> 03:06:13,960 she's waiting to see you. Miss Faber? 3678 03:06:14,840 --> 03:06:17,000 Yes. How long will she be? 3679 03:06:17,520 --> 03:06:19,480 There about 5 minutes what? Does she want Steve? 3680 03:06:19,480 --> 03:06:20,800 Do you know? No. 3681 03:06:22,560 --> 03:06:23,800 All right, I'll be home in 20 minutes. 3682 03:06:23,920 --> 03:06:26,000 Just a second, darling. I think you'd better have a word 3683 03:06:26,000 --> 03:06:28,000 with Miss Faber. It's my husband. 3684 03:06:28,000 --> 03:06:29,280 Perhaps you'd like to have a word with him. 3685 03:06:29,280 --> 03:06:32,640 Oh, thank you, Mr Temple, Miss. Faber. 3686 03:06:33,080 --> 03:06:35,520 I'm afraid I'm making an awful nuisance of myself. 3687 03:06:35,520 --> 03:06:36,280 Oh no. No, that's all right. 3688 03:06:36,480 --> 03:06:39,400 What can I do for you? Well, I did rather want to have 3689 03:06:39,400 --> 03:06:41,520 a talk with you, but if it's at all difficult, no. 3690 03:06:41,640 --> 03:06:42,960 That's all right. I'd like to see you. 3691 03:06:43,480 --> 03:06:45,280 I'd like to see you very much, Miss Faber. 3692 03:06:45,320 --> 03:06:47,480 I'll be with you in about 20 minutes. 3693 03:06:47,560 --> 03:06:49,080 Yes, all right. See you later, then. 3694 03:06:49,400 --> 03:06:52,440 Goodbye. Thank you, Missus Temple. 3695 03:06:54,000 --> 03:06:57,360 Now, where was I? You were just about to give me a 3696 03:06:57,360 --> 03:06:58,600 piece of advice. Oh, yes. 3697 03:06:59,280 --> 03:07:02,720 I was going to say, if you take my advice, Miss Faber, you'll be 3698 03:07:02,720 --> 03:07:06,040 quite candid with my husband and tell him all you know about this 3699 03:07:06,040 --> 03:07:07,920 business. I intend to be quite candid with 3700 03:07:07,920 --> 03:07:08,760 him. That's why I'm here. 3701 03:07:08,760 --> 03:07:11,400 Missus Temple, is there anything the matter? 3702 03:07:12,120 --> 03:07:15,280 This tea tastes awfully bitter. Is yours all right? 3703 03:07:15,840 --> 03:07:22,080 Yes, I think so. That's funny. 3704 03:07:22,560 --> 03:07:25,480 Mine's perfectly all right. Well, perhaps it's my 3705 03:07:25,480 --> 03:07:28,920 imagination. Missus Temple, do you mind if I 3706 03:07:28,920 --> 03:07:30,960 ask you a very frank question? No. 3707 03:07:31,600 --> 03:07:33,920 What does your husband think of me as an artist? 3708 03:07:33,920 --> 03:07:38,440 No, I don't mean as an artist. I mean well, does he think I'm 3709 03:07:38,440 --> 03:07:40,280 mixed up in this Van Dyke affair? 3710 03:07:40,680 --> 03:07:41,760 Are you? No. 3711 03:07:42,320 --> 03:07:44,800 I told him I'd never heard of Van Dyke until he mentioned the 3712 03:07:44,800 --> 03:07:46,840 name. I think Paul believes that it 3713 03:07:46,840 --> 03:07:49,360 was Van Dyke who gave you the Miss Millicent letter. 3714 03:07:49,880 --> 03:07:51,600 It was Van Dyke who told you to write to Shelley. 3715 03:07:51,680 --> 03:07:54,280 Believe me, after what happened last night, if I knew the 3716 03:07:54,280 --> 03:07:57,040 identity of Van Dyke, I should go straight to Scotland Yard 3717 03:07:57,080 --> 03:07:58,000 last night. Yes. 3718 03:07:58,000 --> 03:08:00,560 The murder. Miss Mary Desmond. 3719 03:08:01,480 --> 03:08:04,400 So you think Missus Desmond was murdered by Van Dyke? 3720 03:08:04,680 --> 03:08:08,200 Well, don't you? It seems perfectly obvious to me 3721 03:08:08,200 --> 03:08:10,600 that the same person who murdered. 3722 03:08:11,560 --> 03:08:14,920 Who murdered that? What is it? 3723 03:08:15,240 --> 03:08:18,160 I don't know. I suddenly felt dizzy. 3724 03:08:18,440 --> 03:08:20,560 Would you like some Brandy? No. 3725 03:08:20,560 --> 03:08:24,440 I should be all right. I shouldn't feel like this. 3726 03:08:24,440 --> 03:08:28,640 I Oh, oh, dear. I shouldn't try to stab Miss 3727 03:08:28,640 --> 03:08:30,960 Faber, but I shouldn't feel like this. 3728 03:08:32,920 --> 03:08:35,720 This is stupid. I can't move. 3729 03:08:36,560 --> 03:08:39,040 What's the matter with me? Don't you know? 3730 03:08:39,400 --> 03:08:42,280 What do you mean? You didn't come here to talk to 3731 03:08:42,280 --> 03:08:44,320 Paul about what happened at night at the bungalow. 3732 03:08:45,040 --> 03:08:46,640 You came because Van Dyke sent you. 3733 03:08:46,640 --> 03:08:49,120 You came here because Van Dyke told you to kidnap me. 3734 03:08:49,880 --> 03:08:53,000 What have you done? I haven't done anything. 3735 03:08:53,600 --> 03:08:57,000 You've done it yourself. I think I didn't know that wrong 3736 03:08:57,000 --> 03:08:59,920 number was a trick. You put something into my tea 3737 03:08:59,920 --> 03:09:02,880 while I was answering the phone, didn't you? 3738 03:09:02,880 --> 03:09:05,520 But you drank it. You said the tea was bitter. 3739 03:09:05,640 --> 03:09:07,720 I wanted you to think that the tea was bitter. 3740 03:09:08,160 --> 03:09:10,200 I wanted you to think that everything was going according 3741 03:09:10,200 --> 03:09:12,720 to plan. Your plan, Miss Faber? 3742 03:09:12,880 --> 03:09:15,760 What do you mean? Why do you think I asked you to 3743 03:09:15,760 --> 03:09:17,800 speak to my husband? I don't know. 3744 03:09:18,200 --> 03:09:18,680 Don't you? No. 3745 03:09:19,200 --> 03:09:21,800 You're not very bright. While you were on the phone, I 3746 03:09:21,800 --> 03:09:39,600 changed your cup for mine. That was the 7th episode of the 3747 03:09:39,600 --> 03:09:43,160 Francis Durbridge serial Paul Temple and the Van Dyke Affair, 3748 03:09:43,640 --> 03:09:47,640 with Peter Cook as Paul Temple and Marjorie Westbury as Steve. 3749 03:09:48,320 --> 03:09:52,040 Sir Graham Forbes was played by Richard Williams, Terry Palmer 3750 03:09:52,040 --> 03:09:57,000 by Peter Wilde, Roger Shelley by Richard Handel and Marion Faber 3751 03:09:57,160 --> 03:10:01,320 by Betty Hardy. Production for the BBC was by 3752 03:10:01,320 --> 03:10:15,040 Martin C Webster. Tomorrow we'll find out the 3753 03:10:15,040 --> 03:10:18,120 whole story as Steve throws another of her little parties to 3754 03:10:18,120 --> 03:10:39,280 flush out the perpetrators. We present Peter Cook and 3755 03:10:39,280 --> 03:10:42,880 Marjorie Westbury in ABBC production of the Francis 3756 03:10:42,880 --> 03:10:47,840 Derbridge serial Paul Temple and the Van Dyke Affair, the final 3757 03:10:47,840 --> 03:11:04,440 episode presenting Mr Van Dyke. Oh my head. 3758 03:11:04,800 --> 03:11:06,960 She's coming round. Yes, my head. 3759 03:11:09,640 --> 03:11:12,400 What happened? Drink this, Miss Faber. 3760 03:11:13,280 --> 03:11:14,960 What happened? Drink this. 3761 03:11:15,000 --> 03:11:17,040 No, no. What is it? 3762 03:11:17,200 --> 03:11:19,200 It's all right, really. It's all right, Miss Faber, It 3763 03:11:19,200 --> 03:11:26,760 won't do you any harm. What are you going to do with 3764 03:11:26,760 --> 03:11:28,280 me? How long have you been working 3765 03:11:28,280 --> 03:11:30,360 for Van Dyke? Answer me. 3766 03:11:31,360 --> 03:11:34,600 About six months. How did it all start? 3767 03:11:35,400 --> 03:11:37,800 You take drugs. No, he had some letters of mine. 3768 03:11:38,360 --> 03:11:41,280 He started to blackmail me. At first it was just money, but 3769 03:11:41,440 --> 03:11:44,680 later he he made me work for him. 3770 03:11:44,680 --> 03:11:45,080 I. See. 3771 03:11:46,400 --> 03:11:48,560 Tell me, what were you going to do if my wife had fallen for 3772 03:11:48,560 --> 03:11:52,400 this little check of yours? Van Dyke told me to telephone 3773 03:11:52,400 --> 03:11:55,040 him. We should have taken it away. 3774 03:11:55,040 --> 03:11:57,960 I think he intended to hold with his temple as a sort of hostage, 3775 03:11:58,000 --> 03:12:00,400 yes. Miss Faber, I don't think you 3776 03:12:00,400 --> 03:12:02,200 realise it, but you're a very lucky woman. 3777 03:12:02,520 --> 03:12:04,440 Why do you say that? Because I'm going to let you 3778 03:12:04,440 --> 03:12:06,840 walk out of here, I'm going to say nothing to the police about 3779 03:12:06,840 --> 03:12:08,080 all this. Why? 3780 03:12:08,520 --> 03:12:11,640 Well, I want you to do something for me. 3781 03:12:11,640 --> 03:12:14,640 What? I want you to write a letter, 3782 03:12:14,640 --> 03:12:31,280 Miss Faber. I'm sorry if my phone call got 3783 03:12:31,280 --> 03:12:33,320 you out of bed. No, no, I've been up for some 3784 03:12:33,320 --> 03:12:34,840 little time. Cigarette. 3785 03:12:35,480 --> 03:12:37,200 Oh, thank you. I'll sit down. 3786 03:12:38,560 --> 03:12:44,000 Right, thank you. Well, when did you get back from 3787 03:12:44,000 --> 03:12:47,000 Paris? I didn't go to Paris after all. 3788 03:12:47,640 --> 03:12:50,000 Well, what made you change your mind? 3789 03:12:50,240 --> 03:12:54,520 Well, I was terribly distressed about Vanessa and my doctor 3790 03:12:54,520 --> 03:12:56,000 advised me not to make the journey. 3791 03:12:56,120 --> 03:12:58,480 I see. I've got some very good friends 3792 03:12:58,480 --> 03:13:01,440 in Paris, so everything's being taken care of. 3793 03:13:02,600 --> 03:13:04,360 Where have you been staying? Down at Mala? 3794 03:13:04,680 --> 03:13:08,160 No, at the flat. Were you in town the night 3795 03:13:08,160 --> 03:13:09,840 before last? The night Missus Desmond was 3796 03:13:09,840 --> 03:13:11,880 murdered. Yes, I was. 3797 03:13:12,240 --> 03:13:14,120 That must have been a shocking business. 3798 03:13:14,600 --> 03:13:16,400 I heard all about it from a call trustee. 3799 03:13:16,400 --> 03:13:18,240 Tell me, how well do you know Roger Shelley? 3800 03:13:18,800 --> 03:13:22,920 Shelley, You mean the willowy young man with a cottage near 3801 03:13:22,920 --> 03:13:23,720 Marlow? That's right. 3802 03:13:24,280 --> 03:13:26,640 I don't know him, at least not to speak to. 3803 03:13:27,720 --> 03:13:29,960 Why do you ask? Well, apparently the night that 3804 03:13:29,960 --> 03:13:32,520 Mrs Desmond was murdered, someone also attacked Roger 3805 03:13:32,520 --> 03:13:34,400 Shelley. Really. 3806 03:13:34,680 --> 03:13:36,800 It appears the assailant was about your build. 3807 03:13:36,800 --> 03:13:40,840 And one identity bracelet. I see You wear one, Rusty. 3808 03:13:41,520 --> 03:13:43,680 I've always worn this. It belonged to my mother. 3809 03:13:43,680 --> 03:13:49,320 It's not an identity bracelet. I see, my dear chap, why should 3810 03:13:49,320 --> 03:13:52,320 I attack Roger Shelley? I've told you I don't know the 3811 03:13:52,320 --> 03:13:55,440 fellow. Besides, I can assure you I'm 3812 03:13:55,440 --> 03:13:59,200 not the sort of person that goes around attacking people whether 3813 03:13:59,200 --> 03:14:01,640 I know them or not. I'm quite prepared to accept 3814 03:14:01,640 --> 03:14:05,320 your word, Rusty, but of course I'm not Scotland Yard. 3815 03:14:05,920 --> 03:14:08,680 Are you suggesting that Scotland Yard think I attacked Shelley? 3816 03:14:08,760 --> 03:14:10,400 I barely said I'm not Scotland Yard. 3817 03:14:10,400 --> 03:14:11,960 Now look here, Temple, let's get this straight. 3818 03:14:12,320 --> 03:14:15,040 You know as well as I do that if anyone did attack Shelley, then 3819 03:14:15,040 --> 03:14:17,520 12:50 is the same person who murdered Missus Desmond. 3820 03:14:17,520 --> 03:14:20,600 If anyone did attack Shelley, do you doubt his word then? 3821 03:14:20,600 --> 03:14:23,040 Frankly, yes. You hardly know the man, and yet 3822 03:14:23,040 --> 03:14:26,680 you doubt his word. What is it you wanted to see me 3823 03:14:26,680 --> 03:14:29,320 about? Oh, yes, Trustee. 3824 03:14:29,320 --> 03:14:31,640 I'm going to ask you to do something for me, and I'm afraid 3825 03:14:31,640 --> 03:14:33,840 you'll find it rather an unusual request. 3826 03:14:34,200 --> 03:14:38,280 Well, I've got a piece of paper here with some names and 3827 03:14:38,280 --> 03:14:40,680 addresses on it. I want you to make a careful 3828 03:14:40,680 --> 03:14:42,400 note of them. Here it is. 3829 03:14:43,800 --> 03:14:47,280 Marion Favour. Roger Shelley, Bill McCall, Sir 3830 03:14:47,280 --> 03:14:48,960 Graham Forbes. What? 3831 03:14:49,800 --> 03:14:52,800 What's the point of this? Well, I want you to give a 3832 03:14:52,800 --> 03:14:54,880 party, Rusty. A party? 3833 03:14:54,880 --> 03:14:56,640 Yes.

That's right, Temple. 3837 03:15:05,640 --> 03:15:08,120 It is only 48 hours since my wife died. 3838 03:15:08,200 --> 03:15:10,720 Yes, I know that, Rusty. And believe me, I wouldn't ask 3839 03:15:10,720 --> 03:15:12,680 you to do this if it wasn't absolutely vital. 3840 03:15:14,480 --> 03:15:19,080 Well, all right. Tomorrow night, my flat, 8:00. 3841 03:15:19,080 --> 03:15:21,480 Thank you. But for the life of me, I don't 3842 03:15:21,480 --> 03:15:23,480 see the point, old man. You're not supposed to. 3843 03:15:23,480 --> 03:15:25,360 You're just supposed to give the party. 3844 03:15:46,500 --> 03:16:00,530 Hello. The Terry Palmer. 3845 03:16:00,730 --> 03:16:02,650 Yes.

You seem to spend your entire 3848 03:16:06,570 --> 03:16:08,650 life having words with me. We spent an hour together this 3849 03:16:08,690 --> 03:16:10,730 morning at Scotland Yard. Surely that was about to be 3850 03:16:10,730 --> 03:16:13,090 going on with Yes. I'm afraid I'm making a nuisance 3851 03:16:13,090 --> 03:16:14,730 of myself, but what is it this time? 3852 03:16:15,050 --> 03:16:17,650 Well, I'd like to see you tomorrow night, if possible. 3853 03:16:18,450 --> 03:16:20,770 Tomorrow night?

A temple. 3870 03:17:04,720 --> 03:17:06,560 I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I'll have to put you off. 3871 03:17:07,000 --> 03:17:08,880 Oh, Oh, dear. What a nuisance. 3872 03:17:08,880 --> 03:17:10,640 I'm sorry, but I've been out all day. 3873 03:17:10,880 --> 03:17:12,480 When I got back, there was a message for me. 3874 03:17:12,480 --> 03:17:14,760 But we're looking at. Can't we make it some other 3875 03:17:14,760 --> 03:17:16,600 time? Tomorrow morning, perhaps? 3876 03:17:16,600 --> 03:17:17,240 Yes. Yes. 3877 03:17:17,240 --> 03:17:19,160 All right.

I was just admiring your window, 3895 03:18:01,600 --> 03:18:03,800 Mr Doster. I don't think I've ever seen 3896 03:18:03,800 --> 03:18:05,400 such an attractive window. Yes. 3897 03:18:05,400 --> 03:18:08,080 Most people seem to. Oh, will you excuse me, please? 3898 03:18:08,080 --> 03:18:09,120 That's the door. Yes, of course. 3899 03:18:12,240 --> 03:18:15,040 Good evening, Rusty. Well, I understand you finally. 3900 03:18:15,040 --> 03:18:18,240 What is this? What's happening here? 3901 03:18:21,480 --> 03:18:22,080 Right. Hello. 3902 03:18:22,080 --> 03:18:23,480 Palmer Temple. Right. 3903 03:18:23,640 --> 03:18:24,920 Timothy. It's a small world. 3904 03:18:24,920 --> 03:18:26,560 Come in. Come in, darling. 3905 03:18:26,560 --> 03:18:29,320 It's Terry Palmer. Hello, Mr Palmer, Sir Graham. 3906 03:18:29,600 --> 03:18:31,600 Good evening, Palmer. Hello, Terry. 3907 03:18:31,880 --> 03:18:34,280 Melon, what are you doing here? Well, if it comes to that, what 3908 03:18:34,280 --> 03:18:37,120 are you doing here? But I I was asked to come, I got 3909 03:18:37,120 --> 03:18:38,080 a note. We were all. 3910 03:18:38,080 --> 03:18:40,160 Asked to come, otherwise we shouldn't be here. 3911 03:18:40,320 --> 03:18:42,640 Look here Temple, don't you think you always an explanation? 3912 03:18:42,640 --> 03:18:44,480 Me. But this is Mr Dusty's party. 3913 03:18:44,520 --> 03:18:46,240 Oh look, let's get this straightened out. 3914 03:18:47,040 --> 03:18:49,200 You're responsible for us all being here this evening. 3915 03:18:49,200 --> 03:18:52,280 You're the guy behind the so-called party, not Mr Drusty. 3916 03:18:52,840 --> 03:18:56,960 Now what's it all about? I'll tell you, McCall, the other 3917 03:18:56,960 --> 03:18:59,680 night I had a very interesting talk with Mary Desmond. 3918 03:19:00,160 --> 03:19:02,080 She told me the truth about Miss Millicent, about the 3919 03:19:02,080 --> 03:19:04,360 disappearance of the baby and about Queenie Edwards. 3920 03:19:04,360 --> 03:19:07,840 Go on. Missus Desmond worked for a man 3921 03:19:07,840 --> 03:19:11,320 called Van Dyke, who is the English head of a drug smuggling 3922 03:19:11,320 --> 03:19:13,960 ring which was controlled by Charles Marie. 3923 03:19:14,840 --> 03:19:17,880 He had a shop in Paris and Van Dyke used to send people over 3924 03:19:17,880 --> 03:19:20,480 there to contact Mary and smuggle the drugs back to 3925 03:19:20,480 --> 03:19:23,160 London. To establish that identity with 3926 03:19:23,160 --> 03:19:26,760 Mary, people used to carry a special pair of gloves. 3927 03:19:27,160 --> 03:19:30,560 Inside each was a small tab bearing Mary's name. 3928 03:19:31,400 --> 03:19:34,320 Immediately Mary saw this tab, he knew that he was dealing with 3929 03:19:34,320 --> 03:19:36,400 an agent from London, one of Van Dyke's people. 3930 03:19:36,480 --> 03:19:39,520 I see. But Mr Temple, tell me, how did 3931 03:19:39,520 --> 03:19:41,800 that character, the wolf, fit into the picture? 3932 03:19:41,960 --> 03:19:43,800 Did he work for Van Dyke? A wolf? 3933 03:19:44,320 --> 03:19:46,240 You mean the guy that was murdered down at the word wolf? 3934 03:19:46,280 --> 03:19:48,240 Yes, the wolf was one of Mary's men. 3935 03:19:48,520 --> 03:19:50,080 He came over here to see Van Dyke. 3936 03:19:50,800 --> 03:19:52,440 He'd never actually met him before. 3937 03:19:52,800 --> 03:19:55,400 The receipt which we found on him took the place of a pair of 3938 03:19:55,400 --> 03:19:57,000 gloves as a means of identification. 3939 03:19:57,000 --> 03:19:59,880 Oh, so that's why those gloves and Missus Desmond's didn't. 3940 03:19:59,880 --> 03:20:00,560 Fit. Yes. 3941 03:20:00,560 --> 03:20:01,960 They've been sent to her by Van Dyke. 3942 03:20:01,960 --> 03:20:04,200 The size was unimportant. Yes, but look here. 3943 03:20:04,200 --> 03:20:07,000 Temple. This man to Wolf was murdered. 3944 03:20:07,200 --> 03:20:09,760 Why? I think it's obvious why he was 3945 03:20:09,760 --> 03:20:14,200 murdered. He came over not only to contact 3946 03:20:14,240 --> 03:20:16,920 Van Dyke, but to find out exactly what he was up to. 3947 03:20:18,040 --> 03:20:20,480 Mary was beginning to suspect that Van Dyke was getting a 3948 03:20:20,480 --> 03:20:22,600 little tired of playing second fellow. 3949 03:20:23,560 --> 03:20:25,360 In fact, he was getting two big free shoes. 3950 03:20:25,400 --> 03:20:28,760 But look here, Temple, my wife had a pair of those gloves. 3951 03:20:28,880 --> 03:20:30,480 You remarked on them yourself. So. 3952 03:20:30,520 --> 03:20:33,400 So what? Where are you suggesting that 3953 03:20:33,400 --> 03:20:34,920 Vanessa was an agent of Van Dyke? 3954 03:20:34,920 --> 03:20:36,400 'S You know perfectly well that she was. 3955 03:20:37,560 --> 03:20:38,880 Otherwise, why did you go to Paris? 3956 03:20:38,920 --> 03:20:41,880 I told you why my wife was having enough hair with Mary and 3957 03:20:41,880 --> 03:20:44,200 I followed. Her Your wife was a drug addict. 3958 03:20:45,280 --> 03:20:47,720 It's my guess that she was being blackmailed by Van Dyke. 3959 03:20:49,040 --> 03:20:52,080 Isn't that right? Well. 3960 03:20:54,160 --> 03:20:58,480 Yes, I was a fool. I would have told you this 3961 03:20:58,480 --> 03:21:01,920 before. Vanessa did take drugs. 3962 03:21:02,000 --> 03:21:03,360 There was nothing I could do about it. 3963 03:21:03,360 --> 03:21:05,160 I tried to stop her, but it was no use. 3964 03:21:06,480 --> 03:21:09,600 Then one day she told me that Van Dyke was blackmailing her. 3965 03:21:10,560 --> 03:21:13,280 Although I've never actually met Van Dyke, he sent a message to 3966 03:21:13,280 --> 03:21:16,400 me asking me to finish it. Terry, if you say one word more, 3967 03:21:16,400 --> 03:21:17,840 just tell Paul. You've got a gun, lookout. 3968 03:21:17,960 --> 03:21:19,520 Stand back. Stand back to you. 3969 03:21:19,520 --> 03:21:20,760 Here. Drop that gun, Palmer. 3970 03:21:20,760 --> 03:21:21,680 Drop it. Don't be a fool. 3971 03:21:21,760 --> 03:21:24,440 Palmer, I warn you, Dusty, if you open your mouth, just one 3972 03:21:24,440 --> 03:21:26,400 small fire. If you think you can intimidate 3973 03:21:26,400 --> 03:21:28,720 me, my friend, you're wrong. Get hold of him. 3974 03:21:28,720 --> 03:21:30,440 A call. Terry, don't fire. 3975 03:21:30,440 --> 03:21:31,440 Get out of the way. Marion. 3976 03:21:31,760 --> 03:21:36,320 Terry, please. I didn't mean it. 3977 03:21:38,600 --> 03:21:40,200 Look out Palmer's going for the window. 3978 03:21:40,320 --> 03:21:42,320 Stop him, Shelly. Now don't be. 3979 03:21:42,680 --> 03:22:00,490 Look out, Palmer. Here's an empty case. 3980 03:22:00,530 --> 03:22:01,810 Sir. No, I'll go further down if you 3981 03:22:01,810 --> 03:22:03,410 don't mind. There isn't much time, Sir. 3982 03:22:07,650 --> 03:22:10,170 How about this one, Sir? No, I'd rather guess. 3983 03:22:10,570 --> 03:22:12,850 Yes, that's all right. Put it in the non-smoker. 3984 03:22:12,850 --> 03:22:17,560 Oh, very good, Sir. It's all right, I'll see to it 3985 03:22:17,560 --> 03:22:18,680 now. Here are. 3986 03:22:18,840 --> 03:22:23,280 Oh, thank you, Sir. Excuse me, is it why? 3987 03:22:23,280 --> 03:22:25,640 Hello, McCall. Hi. 3988 03:22:25,640 --> 03:22:28,000 Hello, Temple. You're just in time. 3989 03:22:28,520 --> 03:22:30,480 What are you doing here? I'm going down to Maidenhead for 3990 03:22:30,480 --> 03:22:32,200 two or three days. Sir Graham's taken a house down 3991 03:22:32,200 --> 03:22:33,720 there. Where are you off to? 3992 03:22:33,840 --> 03:22:35,960 I'm going down a model for the day to the Wedgeworths. 3993 03:22:36,040 --> 03:22:37,800 I still got to keep my eye on things, you know? 3994 03:22:38,160 --> 03:22:42,080 Let's expect you have lucky to get a corner seat. 3995 03:22:46,840 --> 03:22:48,600 I've just been reading about last night. 3996 03:22:48,600 --> 03:22:50,800 Temple Palmer was killed instantly. 3997 03:22:50,800 --> 03:22:53,240 Yes, and the papers have certainly gone to town on it, 3998 03:22:53,240 --> 03:22:56,200 haven't they? By the way, McCall is justy on 3999 03:22:56,200 --> 03:22:57,160 the train. Justy. 4000 03:22:57,640 --> 03:22:59,080 Why no? Why do you ask? 4001 03:22:59,080 --> 03:23:00,800 So I thought I saw him, that's all. 4002 03:23:02,800 --> 03:23:26,310 Oh well, we're on our way. May I come in? 4003 03:23:26,550 --> 03:23:29,070 Oh, hello, Mr Temple. I didn't know you were on the 4004 03:23:29,070 --> 03:23:30,510 train. I thought I spotted you. 4005 03:23:30,510 --> 03:23:32,910 Shelley on the platform. Is this seat taken? 4006 03:23:33,150 --> 03:23:35,870 No. Oh, I'm so glad to see you. 4007 03:23:35,910 --> 03:23:37,710 I think train journeys at the end. 4008 03:23:38,270 --> 03:23:40,590 Isn't Missus Temple with you? No, I'm travelling alone. 4009 03:23:41,160 --> 03:23:42,840 Incidentally, Mccall's on the train. 4010 03:23:42,840 --> 03:23:44,560 Did you know McCall? Yes. 4011 03:23:44,720 --> 03:23:46,440 Are you sure? I've just been talking to him. 4012 03:23:46,840 --> 03:23:48,880 Oh, is he alone? Well, he says he is. 4013 03:23:48,880 --> 03:23:50,720 Well, what you mean? Well, I could have sworn I 4014 03:23:50,840 --> 03:23:52,520 caught a glimpse of Trusty. Oh well, if. 4015 03:23:52,560 --> 03:23:54,800 Trusty was on the train. He'll be with McCall. 4016 03:23:54,800 --> 03:23:57,920 Shirley, I've. I've just been reading about 4017 03:23:57,920 --> 03:23:59,720 last night. Yes, it's in all the papers. 4018 03:23:59,720 --> 03:24:02,080 What an extraordinary person Palmer must have been. 4019 03:24:02,160 --> 03:24:04,920 Yes. I'm glad I bumped into you, 4020 03:24:04,920 --> 03:24:06,880 Shelley, because I'd like to tell you a little more about 4021 03:24:06,880 --> 03:24:09,200 that Manda Wolf. Dewolf. 4022 03:24:09,320 --> 03:24:10,120 Yes. Don't you remember? 4023 03:24:10,120 --> 03:24:11,680 You were asking me about him last night? 4024 03:24:11,920 --> 03:24:15,560 Oh, yes, yes, of course. Well, Dewolf went down to Marla 4025 03:24:15,560 --> 03:24:18,720 to contact Van Dyke. He struck up an apparently 4026 03:24:18,720 --> 03:24:21,280 casual acquaintanceship with him in the bar at the Wordsworth, 4027 03:24:21,640 --> 03:24:23,280 and Van Dyke invited him out to dinner. 4028 03:24:23,280 --> 03:24:25,680 Oh, but I invited Dewolf to dinner, don't you remember? 4029 03:24:25,680 --> 03:24:27,120 Yes, I know. Let me finish my story. 4030 03:24:27,120 --> 03:24:30,440 Oh, sorry. Van Dyke warned Dewolf that 4031 03:24:30,440 --> 03:24:32,960 there was a Scotland Yard man staying at the hotel called 4032 03:24:32,960 --> 03:24:36,320 Sergeant Big Bear. The day Dewolf was due to go out 4033 03:24:36,320 --> 03:24:38,960 to Van Dyke's he discovered that Digby had left the hotel. 4034 03:24:39,600 --> 03:24:41,520 The Wolf phoned Van Dyke and told him this. 4035 03:24:41,840 --> 03:24:45,240 He also told him that a Mr and Missus Paul Temple had arrived 4036 03:24:45,880 --> 03:24:48,360 gone. When Van Dyke got the phone call 4037 03:24:48,360 --> 03:24:51,840 from Dewolf he had a friend with him, another member of the Ring, 4038 03:24:52,160 --> 03:24:56,120 a lady called Marian Faber. Miss Faber was a great artist 4039 03:24:56,120 --> 03:24:59,200 and, well, quite a girl for practical jokes. 4040 03:25:00,160 --> 03:25:02,760 What do you mean? She suggested that the wolf 4041 03:25:02,760 --> 03:25:05,800 should impersonate Digby and introduce himself to Mr and 4042 03:25:05,800 --> 03:25:07,280 Misses Temple. Go on. 4043 03:25:08,200 --> 03:25:10,680 Do you know what the wolf did when he impersonated Digby? 4044 03:25:10,760 --> 03:25:13,680 No. He threw suspicion unto you. 4045 03:25:13,960 --> 03:25:15,240 Unto me? Yes. 4046 03:25:15,960 --> 03:25:18,280 You see, he'd already decided you're a double crosser and he 4047 03:25:18,280 --> 03:25:19,960 meant to advise Mary to get rid of you. 4048 03:25:19,960 --> 03:25:22,760 Oh, my dear Mr Temple, you're talking absolute nonsense. 4049 03:25:23,000 --> 03:25:25,440 You know perfectly well that Terry Palmer was Van Dyke. 4050 03:25:25,440 --> 03:25:28,680 Palmer was not Van Dyke. He was Van Dyke's right hand 4051 03:25:28,680 --> 03:25:31,120 man. What do you mean? 4052 03:25:32,520 --> 03:25:35,960 You're not suggesting that I'm Van Dyke, aren't you, Shelley? 4053 03:25:36,720 --> 03:25:38,800 Come on. You've been very convincing. 4054 03:25:38,800 --> 03:25:40,560 But suppose we dropped the precious act? 4055 03:25:43,160 --> 03:25:46,000 You appear to be very well informed. 4056 03:25:46,000 --> 03:25:49,680 I'm glad you think so. However, there are one or two 4057 03:25:49,680 --> 03:25:51,560 points on which no doubt you can enlighten me. 4058 03:25:52,000 --> 03:25:55,680 For instance, why did you start throwing suspicion onto power? 4059 03:25:56,320 --> 03:25:57,600 Surely he was your right hand man. 4060 03:25:57,600 --> 03:26:01,360 I had no alternative. Why, Queenie Edwards had already 4061 03:26:01,360 --> 03:26:03,920 thrown suspicion onto Palmer by planting the doll at the 4062 03:26:03,920 --> 03:26:06,520 Commodore. Also, I had to give Mary an 4063 03:26:06,520 --> 03:26:09,400 explanation of the Dewolf murder, so I told him that Terry 4064 03:26:09,400 --> 03:26:12,400 Palmer was responsible. From that moment, I was 4065 03:26:12,400 --> 03:26:15,160 instructed by Mary to throw suspicion onto Palmer. 4066 03:26:15,160 --> 03:26:17,440 But you threw suspicion onto him after Mary was murdered? 4067 03:26:17,480 --> 03:26:20,840 Well, of course, the police, to say nothing of a certain Mr 4068 03:26:20,840 --> 03:26:23,520 Temple, already had their eye on Palmer. 4069 03:26:24,280 --> 03:26:27,520 It was to my advantage that they should continue to suspect him. 4070 03:26:27,520 --> 03:26:30,480 I see. And the cafe incident in Paris. 4071 03:26:31,080 --> 03:26:34,240 If that little incident had gone according to plan, you wouldn't 4072 03:26:34,240 --> 03:26:40,160 be here and the atmosphere would be considerably less oppressive. 4073 03:26:42,120 --> 03:26:43,920 However, it didn't, and here you are. 4074 03:26:44,920 --> 03:26:46,240 What did you mean to do at the cafe? 4075 03:26:46,240 --> 03:26:48,040 Get rid of Missus Drosty and Mary. 4076 03:26:48,040 --> 03:26:50,080 To say nothing of my wife and myself, of course. 4077 03:26:50,400 --> 03:26:53,760 That was the idea. I got Missus Drosty to arrange 4078 03:26:53,760 --> 03:26:57,040 to see Mary at the cafe. Unfortunately, Mary got wise to 4079 03:26:57,040 --> 03:26:59,200 what was happening and. Just didn't turn up. 4080 03:27:00,480 --> 03:27:04,240 However, he was taken care of by France. 4081 03:27:04,240 --> 03:27:06,560 Yes, Louis France was an excellent fellow. 4082 03:27:06,560 --> 03:27:08,600 I'm sorry you didn't get a chance to meet him, Temple. 4083 03:27:09,400 --> 03:27:11,200 Oh, what a pity he couldn't swim. 4084 03:27:11,960 --> 03:27:14,160 Timothy. Steve said you were crazy. 4085 03:27:14,720 --> 03:27:17,040 Crazy. Do you know how much money I've 4086 03:27:17,040 --> 03:27:20,000 made out of this little setup of mine in the past 18 months? 4087 03:27:20,480 --> 03:27:28,080 £37,000 free of tax, surely? Yes. 4088 03:27:28,520 --> 03:27:32,800 Tell me, just to satisfy my curiosity, did you murder 4089 03:27:32,800 --> 03:27:34,520 Queenie Edwards yourself? Yes. 4090 03:27:35,240 --> 03:27:37,720 Friends overheard the telephone conversation she had with you 4091 03:27:37,880 --> 03:27:39,720 and I followed her onto the train. 4092 03:27:40,720 --> 03:27:43,160 Why do you ask? Because my wife saw Queenie when 4093 03:27:43,160 --> 03:27:44,520 they took her off the train at Paddington. 4094 03:27:44,760 --> 03:27:48,680 Oh, I see. But you mustn't be sensitive 4095 03:27:48,680 --> 03:27:53,000 about these things, you know. Oh, by the way, you might be 4096 03:27:53,000 --> 03:27:57,240 interested to see the knife. Oh, I'm glad you are suitably 4097 03:27:57,240 --> 03:27:59,520 impressed. Now listen, I'll tell you 4098 03:27:59,600 --> 03:28:02,160 precisely what I want you to do when we arrive at Marlow. 4099 03:28:02,160 --> 03:28:03,000 I want you. To. 4100 03:28:03,360 --> 03:28:04,720 Drop that knife. Rusty. 4101 03:28:04,960 --> 03:28:09,000 Drop it, Shelley. OK, Temple, relax. 4102 03:28:09,000 --> 03:28:10,960 Sure. I'm glad to see you, McCall. 4103 03:28:11,040 --> 03:28:13,480 Pick it up, Bill. Don't worry, I'm picking it up. 4104 03:28:13,680 --> 03:28:15,640 Now listen, Rusty, don't be a fool. 4105 03:28:15,960 --> 03:28:17,840 I'll make you a proposition. I'll tell you what I'll do. 4106 03:28:17,840 --> 03:28:20,240 You already made me one proposition, one too many. 4107 03:28:20,960 --> 03:28:23,120 Now stay where you are. Don't move. 4108 03:28:23,440 --> 03:28:25,120 All right, Rosie, give me that revolver. 4109 03:28:25,120 --> 03:28:27,400 I'll take over. Just a moment, old man. 4110 03:28:28,160 --> 03:28:30,400 Isn't Sir Graham on the train? Yes, he is. 4111 03:28:30,560 --> 03:28:32,600 Well, don't you think you'd better fetch him? 4112 03:28:32,960 --> 03:28:36,560 After all, technically, it's a matter for the police. 4113 03:28:37,440 --> 03:28:41,520 We'll look after Mr Shelley. Here we'll look after him, 4114 03:28:41,560 --> 03:28:45,160 Temple all. Right, I'll find Sir Graham. 4115 03:28:45,760 --> 03:28:49,680 There's no hurry, old man. There's no hurry, Temple. 4116 03:28:49,920 --> 03:28:52,080 Don't leave me. Don't leave me with Dusty. 4117 03:28:52,120 --> 03:28:56,720 What? What are you going to do, Dusty? 4118 03:28:58,000 --> 03:29:00,320 I didn't mean to kill Vanessa. I swear I didn't. 4119 03:29:00,440 --> 03:29:03,360 It was an accident. Get up. 4120 03:29:04,440 --> 03:29:07,240 What are you going to do to me? Open that door. 4121 03:29:08,360 --> 03:29:10,960 Which door? The carriage door. 4122 03:29:11,960 --> 03:29:13,840 Open it. But the train's moving. 4123 03:29:14,000 --> 03:29:16,760 You know you can't. No. 4124 03:29:17,040 --> 03:29:17,560 No. All right. 4125 03:29:17,560 --> 03:29:21,000 Peel open it. Trusty, what are you going to 4126 03:29:21,000 --> 03:29:22,360 do? Give me the knife. 4127 03:29:22,360 --> 03:29:24,680 Field no, no, listen to me, you little. 4128 03:29:25,360 --> 03:29:27,880 Swine, you asked for no. Don't touch me. 4129 03:29:28,400 --> 03:29:30,440 Don't trust you. Please, please don't. 4130 03:29:47,760 --> 03:29:49,440 Where is he? Well, Shelly. 4131 03:29:49,680 --> 03:29:53,000 I'm sorry, Sir Graham, there's. Been an accident. 4132 03:29:53,000 --> 03:29:54,200 An accident? What do you mean? 4133 03:29:54,400 --> 03:29:56,600 He opened the carriage door and made a jump for it. 4134 03:29:57,160 --> 03:29:58,560 There was just nothing we could do about it. 4135 03:29:58,960 --> 03:30:02,320 It was unfortunate, most unfortunate. 4136 03:30:02,600 --> 03:30:30,800 Most unfortunate crossed. What a wonderful afternoon, so 4137 03:30:30,880 --> 03:30:34,600 peaceful I could sit in this punt for hours. 4138 03:30:35,000 --> 03:30:36,400 Yes. Well, you're not going to. 4139 03:30:36,440 --> 03:30:42,600 Sit there for hours. One of you took a turn. 4140 03:30:44,680 --> 03:30:48,520 You're doing very nicely. Steve couldn't do better if I 4141 03:30:48,560 --> 03:30:51,360 tried, my dear. Yes, well, you're not trying. 4142 03:30:54,760 --> 03:30:55,840 What are you going to do, Temple? 4143 03:30:56,880 --> 03:30:58,560 Now this man died. Affairs over. 4144 03:30:59,040 --> 03:31:02,880 Oh, take things easy, I suppose. You know me. 4145 03:31:03,400 --> 03:31:06,960 There's nothing I'd like better. Yes, and I know you always 4146 03:31:06,960 --> 03:31:09,760 promising to take things easy and doing nothing about it. 4147 03:31:10,080 --> 03:31:14,480 Holidays cancelled, another crack about taking things easy 4148 03:31:15,240 --> 03:31:18,240 and you had it Mr. What do you mean? 4149 03:31:19,240 --> 03:31:24,280 What I mean, Oh man. You wouldn't dare who? 4150 03:31:24,440 --> 03:31:29,320 Wouldn't die. Are we stopping? 4151 03:31:30,280 --> 03:31:35,280 We are only for a moment, gentlemen, while I flex my 4152 03:31:35,280 --> 03:31:46,160 muscles. Temple there's there's something 4153 03:31:46,160 --> 03:31:48,760 about that Van Dyke affair I don't quite understand. 4154 03:31:49,160 --> 03:31:50,880 It's quite a lot I don't understand Lord. 4155 03:31:51,160 --> 03:31:53,120 I thought we were going to skip the good old postmortem. 4156 03:31:53,120 --> 03:31:57,320 No, no, but seriously, why did Shelly persuade Mary and Faber 4157 03:31:57,320 --> 03:31:58,880 to send that note? Which note? 4158 03:31:59,400 --> 03:32:01,160 The one that was supposed to have been written by Miss 4159 03:32:01,200 --> 03:32:04,400 Millicent. Well, Shelly was very sure of 4160 03:32:04,400 --> 03:32:07,400 himself and he made-up his mind to get rid of Mary and take 4161 03:32:07,400 --> 03:32:09,000 control of the Paris organisation. 4162 03:32:09,920 --> 03:32:12,320 The note served a dual purpose. How do you mean? 4163 03:32:13,440 --> 03:32:15,480 Shelley believed that if he produced a threatening note, 4164 03:32:15,480 --> 03:32:17,960 apparently written by Miss Millicent, we would jump to the 4165 03:32:17,960 --> 03:32:21,200 conclusion that Miss Millicent was in hiding and was actually 4166 03:32:21,200 --> 03:32:23,640 Van Dyke. And he knew that once we 4167 03:32:23,640 --> 03:32:26,160 discovered the identity of the wolf, we would very quickly. 4168 03:32:26,400 --> 03:32:27,960 Catch up with Marie. Exactly. 4169 03:32:28,760 --> 03:32:31,520 But when you saw Marie in favour, she admitted that the 4170 03:32:31,520 --> 03:32:33,880 note was a practical. Joke, yes, but don't forget it 4171 03:32:33,880 --> 03:32:36,720 was Shelley who told us that Marian was an expert forger. 4172 03:32:37,440 --> 03:32:40,520 When I went to see Marion, she said precisely what Shelly had 4173 03:32:40,520 --> 03:32:42,680 told her to say. She made didn't sound like a 4174 03:32:42,680 --> 03:32:45,240 silly young man who deserved to have a practical joke played on 4175 03:32:45,240 --> 03:32:47,040 him. And she threw further suspicion 4176 03:32:47,040 --> 03:32:48,200 on the farmer with the photograph. 4177 03:32:48,280 --> 03:32:50,720 Yes. You see, Steve, once the police 4178 03:32:50,720 --> 03:32:53,080 discovered that Miss Millicent was dead and couldn't have 4179 03:32:53,080 --> 03:32:55,440 written the note, Shelly was in a spot. 4180 03:32:55,440 --> 03:32:57,000 He had to think of some explanation. 4181 03:32:57,480 --> 03:33:00,360 Well, if if Shelly didn't receive a threatening note, a 4182 03:33:00,720 --> 03:33:03,080 genuine note, I mean, why was he attacked? 4183 03:33:03,920 --> 03:33:05,320 Who attacked him? Obviously Ross. 4184 03:33:05,320 --> 03:33:08,360 They attacked him. Why, Rasti knew perfectly well 4185 03:33:08,360 --> 03:33:12,040 that Van Dyke alias Shelley had been responsible for the death 4186 03:33:12,040 --> 03:33:13,360 of his. Wife, I think it was you, Steve, 4187 03:33:13,360 --> 03:33:15,480 who first persuaded Sherry that he'd been attacked by Drasti. 4188 03:33:15,640 --> 03:33:17,600 You mean when I mentioned the identity brace? 4189 03:33:18,720 --> 03:33:22,480 I had a talk with Drasti Temple. It appears the Van Dyke was not 4190 03:33:22,480 --> 03:33:25,960 only blackmailing his wife, but was trying to blackmail Drasti 4191 03:33:25,960 --> 03:33:27,640 as well. Yes, I guessed as much. 4192 03:33:28,240 --> 03:33:30,880 I think he had some scheme that he wanted DRASTI to finance. 4193 03:33:31,240 --> 03:33:33,640 He did everything he could to get a hold of a DRASTI. 4194 03:33:33,640 --> 03:33:35,400 He even tried to influence McCall. 4195 03:33:36,120 --> 03:33:38,600 When he realised the McCall wasn't having any but intended 4196 03:33:38,600 --> 03:33:41,960 to play the game by his chief, he got France to plant the 4197 03:33:41,960 --> 03:33:44,440 cigarette lighter. In the hope of getting McCall 4198 03:33:44,440 --> 03:33:46,320 convicted for the Malay murder. Exactly. 4199 03:33:48,240 --> 03:33:51,000 Oh darling, something else. Tell me, why did you spill that 4200 03:33:51,000 --> 03:33:54,360 coffee on Shelley? Well, although I suspected that 4201 03:33:54,360 --> 03:33:57,840 Shelley was Van Dyke, I was still suspicious of Palmer. 4202 03:33:58,640 --> 03:34:00,720 I spilled the coffee on Shelley because I wanted to have a look 4203 03:34:00,720 --> 03:34:03,760 in his wallet. I found part of a letter, an 4204 03:34:03,760 --> 03:34:06,160 unimportant letter written by Shelley himself. 4205 03:34:06,160 --> 03:34:10,640 This was exactly what I wanted. Later I gave it to Mary in Faber 4206 03:34:10,640 --> 03:34:12,680 and told her to copy the handwriting. 4207 03:34:13,000 --> 03:34:16,280 You told Miss Faber to copy. Yes, I told her to write a 4208 03:34:16,280 --> 03:34:18,400 letter to Palmer in Shelley's handwriting. 4209 03:34:18,800 --> 03:34:22,200 The letter simply said Drosty has agreed to cooperate. 4210 03:34:22,240 --> 03:34:25,160 Meet me at his flat tonight at 8 Van Dyke. 4211 03:34:25,760 --> 03:34:26,800 And I don't see the point of that. 4212 03:34:26,960 --> 03:34:29,680 Well, I then made an appointment to see Palmer the next evening 4213 03:34:29,680 --> 03:34:33,160 at 8:00, but that particular afternoon I made certain that 4214 03:34:33,160 --> 03:34:34,440 the letter was delivered to Palmer. 4215 03:34:34,880 --> 03:34:38,880 He immediately cancelled our appointment, thus confirming 4216 03:34:38,880 --> 03:34:41,880 that he thought the handwriting was Shelley's and that he was 4217 03:34:41,880 --> 03:34:44,760 under the impression that he'd received a genuine letter from 4218 03:34:44,800 --> 03:34:49,160 Shelley Elias Van Dyke. You knew then that if he turned 4219 03:34:49,160 --> 03:34:51,920 up at rosters, Shelley was Van. Dyke precisely well. 4220 03:34:52,920 --> 03:34:55,000 I think that was very clever of you, darling. 4221 03:34:56,160 --> 03:34:57,120 Very clever. Thank you, Steve. 4222 03:34:58,560 --> 03:35:01,000 Well, that's the finish of the Van Dyke Affair, Temple. 4223 03:35:01,000 --> 03:35:04,040 Yes. What are you going to do now? 4224 03:35:04,200 --> 03:35:07,320 Oh, take things easy, I suppose. You know me. 4225 03:35:07,880 --> 03:35:10,040 No, no, no, Steve. Steve, No. 4226 03:35:10,080 --> 03:35:17,360 I. Say I want you, Mr Temple, I 4227 03:35:17,440 --> 03:35:35,000 want you. In that recording of the eighth 4228 03:35:35,000 --> 03:35:38,600 and last episode of Paul Temple and the Van Dyke affair, the 4229 03:35:38,600 --> 03:35:40,720 part of Paul Temple. No, Lord, I thought we were 4230 03:35:40,720 --> 03:35:42,160 going to skip the good old postmortem. 4231 03:35:42,160 --> 03:35:44,920 It was played by Peter Cook, Steve, his wife. 4232 03:35:44,960 --> 03:35:48,200 Now, Paul, don't be stupid. I've got to get this plaster off 4233 03:35:48,200 --> 03:35:49,680 your arm. It was played by Marjorie 4234 03:35:49,680 --> 03:35:53,080 Westbury, Sir Graham Forbes. Well, that's the finish of the 4235 03:35:53,080 --> 03:35:54,160 Van Dyke affair. Temple it. 4236 03:35:54,160 --> 03:35:57,720 Was played by Richard Williams. Charlie, sorry I'm late. 4237 03:35:57,720 --> 03:36:00,680 I had a bit of a job finding a taxi by James Beatty. 4238 03:36:01,160 --> 03:36:03,320 Inspector Eden and McCall could have ever heard that 4239 03:36:03,320 --> 03:36:05,200 conversation. The phone call came from the 4240 03:36:05,200 --> 03:36:07,640 words, but it was played by Frederick Treves. 4241 03:36:07,960 --> 03:36:10,240 Philip Drosty. My dear fellow, how nice of you 4242 03:36:10,240 --> 03:36:12,320 to come at the moment's notice. I do appreciate it. 4243 03:36:12,320 --> 03:36:15,120 Was played by Simon Lack. Bill McCall. 4244 03:36:15,120 --> 03:36:18,160 You're the guy behind his so-called party temple, not Mr 4245 03:36:18,160 --> 03:36:20,720 Drosty. Played by John Scott, Mary 4246 03:36:20,720 --> 03:36:23,000 Desmond. Police will never find Susan. 4247 03:36:23,360 --> 03:36:25,160 All they do is ask a lot of silly questions. 4248 03:36:25,160 --> 03:36:27,600 Played by June Tobin. Terry Palmer. 4249 03:36:27,600 --> 03:36:30,440 Of course I'd be to Paris, but I didn't buy Mrs Desmond a pair of 4250 03:36:30,440 --> 03:36:31,760 gloves, if that's what you're thinking. 4251 03:36:31,760 --> 03:36:34,400 It was played by Peter Wilde. Louis France. 4252 03:36:34,400 --> 03:36:36,680 I knew you would. I told Van Dyke to recognise my 4253 03:36:36,720 --> 03:36:38,480 voice. It was played by Ralph Lefevre. 4254 03:36:38,800 --> 03:36:41,400 Marion Faber. He started to blackmail me. 4255 03:36:41,680 --> 03:36:44,640 At first it was just money, but later he made me work for him. 4256 03:36:44,640 --> 03:36:47,600 It was played by Betty Hardy and Roger Shelley. 4257 03:36:47,840 --> 03:36:52,680 Elias Van Dyke, my dear Mr Temple, you're talking absolute 4258 03:36:52,720 --> 03:36:55,880 nonsense, was played by Richard Herndel. 4259 03:36:56,640 --> 03:37:00,160 The technical presentation was by Frederick Bell, assisted by 4260 03:37:00,160 --> 03:37:03,280 Gordon Bowen, Patient Sheffield and Biddy Baxter. 4261 03:37:04,120 --> 03:37:07,680 The Paul Temple serials are written by Francis Durbridge and 4262 03:37:07,680 --> 03:37:23,600 produced by Martin C Webster. I mean, come on, they are the 4263 03:37:23,600 --> 03:37:26,080 greatest credits I've ever heard, aren't they? 4264 03:37:26,480 --> 03:37:29,720 Tomorrow, Detective Galbraith is given a photograph in which 4265 03:37:29,720 --> 03:37:32,960 circles have been drawn around the heads of three people. 4266 03:37:33,040 --> 03:37:37,120 The reason why begins another Galbraith adventure in Galbraith 4267 03:37:37,120 --> 03:37:39,360 and the Midas Touch at the same time.
