1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:06,100
Radio for the time now. 3:05 
afternoon theater. 

2
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,700
When my rich Aunt Katherine, 
someone do to see her, you had 

3
00:00:24,700 --> 00:00:27,600
to obey. 
She turn iced over her entire 

4
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,400
family from the highest as 
represented by Terrence her 

5
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,300
beloved brother to the lowest as
represented by her second 

6
00:00:35,300 --> 00:00:39,800
husband Hannibal and myself. 
So when I got a telegram that 

7
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,400
Friday morning in the summer of 
1929, ordering me to set off 

8
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,200
that very night to spend the 
weekend with her. 

9
00:00:45,700 --> 00:00:48,600
I canceled my other plans and 
caught the 817 from Paddington 

10
00:00:49,900 --> 00:00:52,300
after all having failed at 
almost everything. 

11
00:00:52,300 --> 00:00:54,300
I had attempted in my 26 years 
of life. 

12
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,700
I had no wish to fail at the 
important, task of being the 

13
00:00:57,700 --> 00:00:59,400
favorite, nephew of an aren't 
worth. 

14
00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:04,599
What a conservative estimate at 
least, half a million as the 

15
00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:06,600
train got closer and closer to 
masonry. 

16
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,700
I prepared myself. 
A long weekend of business and 

17
00:01:09,700 --> 00:01:12,400
pleasure. 
An ingredient. 

18
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,200
I was not prepared for was 
murdered. 

19
00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:25,500
We present death of my aunt, a 
play for radio by Frances King. 

20
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,400
Adapted from the novel by chb 
kitchen with David Griffin as 

21
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,000
Malcolm and John shrapnel as 
Uncle Hannibal. 

22
00:01:35,300 --> 00:01:46,400
Death of my aunt. 
Hello, Malcolm. 

23
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,900
Hello, Uncle Hannibal. 
Jolly decent of you to come at 

24
00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:51,700
such short notice. 
Oh days, it take. 

25
00:01:51,700 --> 00:01:54,600
Mr. Warren's bag upstairs. 
Will you and unpack it? 

26
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,000
Right? 
Oh, we won't be meeting in the 

27
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,000
car again. 
This evening. 

28
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,700
Very good, sir. 
A new face, isn't it? 

29
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:02,900
Who days? 
Hmm? 

30
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,800
Oh, he's been with us for some 
months. 

31
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,900
But of course, it's a long time 
since you last paid us a visit. 

32
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,100
Yes, a new face under not 
particularly amiable one. 

33
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:16,700
But you're on thinks the world 
of him. 

34
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,100
It's all, you know, that's how 
she and I first met each other. 

35
00:02:20,500 --> 00:02:22,800
I used to drive her myself. 
When I hadn't a man free at the 

36
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,700
garage. 
That was just after your uncle. 

37
00:02:25,700 --> 00:02:27,000
Morris is death. 
Of course. 

38
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,300
Now sit down and let me get you 
a spot of whiskey before we turn

39
00:02:31,300 --> 00:02:32,200
in. 
Thanks. 

40
00:02:35,300 --> 00:02:37,800
Curry's on Catherine. 
Oh, she's really very well. 

41
00:02:39,900 --> 00:02:43,800
They're not about right for you.
It looks awfully strong since 

42
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,400
you're a big boy now. 
Cheers, Cheers. 

43
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,100
Yes, I'm sorry about asking you 
to come at such short notice, 

44
00:02:54,100 --> 00:02:56,600
but when you're on gets some 
idea into her head. 

45
00:02:56,900 --> 00:03:00,000
Well, I don't have to tell you. 
It's about her Investments. 

46
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,900
Of course her Investments. 
Oh, was that it? 

47
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,600
Well, I'm only well. 
I'm not a partner in The Firm. 

48
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,200
You are from it. 
Boy. 

49
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,200
She was struck by that paper, 
you Center. 

50
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,300
She said it showed you, the 
inherited, the family Flair for 

51
00:03:13,300 --> 00:03:15,300
money. 
She doesn't think very much of 

52
00:03:15,300 --> 00:03:17,400
my money making abilities. 
I'm sure she's wrong. 

53
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:18,600
Well, when something has to be 
done. 

54
00:03:18,700 --> 00:03:22,500
She likes it done and once, you 
know, that quite what it is, if 

55
00:03:22,500 --> 00:03:24,100
anything that she wants done. 
Now. 

56
00:03:24,100 --> 00:03:28,000
I just do not know. 
You'd be surprised how little I 

57
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,300
know about her Affairs. 
Well, maybe she's going in for a

58
00:03:31,300 --> 00:03:33,800
big gamble of some kind. 
Well, it won't matter whether 

59
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,200
she wants me to do anything or 
not. 

60
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,300
I'm very glad to be here. 
I'll leave it to her to start 

61
00:03:39,300 --> 00:03:40,200
the subject. 
Shall I? 

62
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,800
Oh, as a matter of fact, 
Malcolm. 

63
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,500
She thinks you're going to look 
at the investment book. 

64
00:03:43,500 --> 00:03:46,900
Straight away tonight, tonight. 
Well, we expected you a bit 

65
00:03:46,900 --> 00:03:47,700
earlier. 
You seen. 

66
00:03:47,700 --> 00:03:49,100
She got quite worked. 
Up. 

67
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:50,900
Do you think he'll be here by 
dinner time? 

68
00:03:50,900 --> 00:03:54,200
She kept asking me so I knew the
answer in the end. 

69
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,900
I got her off to bed, but she 
was so sure you'd want to work 

70
00:03:56,900 --> 00:03:59,800
just as soon as you got here, 
and she asked me to hand you 

71
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,500
this letter. 
Where is it? 

72
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,000
Oh, yes, I put it in this 
pocket. 

73
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:08,700
It's sealed. 
Yes. 

74
00:04:08,700 --> 00:04:11,200
She sealed it. 
She often does seal letters. 

75
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,300
She asks me to deliver for her. 
I've no idea. 

76
00:04:14,300 --> 00:04:15,700
No idea at all. 
What's in it. 

77
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:21,399
It feels like a key is probably 
the key to her Bureau. 

78
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:25,200
The fact is Malcolm that I'm not
exactly in that confidence. 

79
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,900
I haven't been for a long long 
time. 

80
00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:30,800
I don't like admitting that but 
it's not surprising after all. 

81
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,600
No, use blinking at matters. 
I am a bit of an intruder here 

82
00:04:34,100 --> 00:04:36,500
and your relations aren't all 
too eager to see me settling 

83
00:04:36,500 --> 00:04:38,900
down at first. 
I thought we'd all be good pals,

84
00:04:38,900 --> 00:04:41,400
but just lately. 
Well, I don't know. 

85
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,200
I'm sure you're mistaken, Uncle 
Hannibal. 

86
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,200
Well, you've always treated me 
very well and your mother too, 

87
00:04:46,900 --> 00:04:48,300
but your uncle Terrance. 
Never took to me. 

88
00:04:48,300 --> 00:04:50,000
Did he? 
I don't blame him. 

89
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,200
Mind you cultured man. 
Let's go. 

90
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,500
Said, you could Asian boss of an
importance firm of solicitors. 

91
00:04:56,900 --> 00:04:59,700
Ann's different. 
But then she only married him. 

92
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,500
She's not one of the high and 
mighty Carville family by birth.

93
00:05:04,300 --> 00:05:06,100
As for that. 
Son of this, don't you? 

94
00:05:06,100 --> 00:05:08,100
And Bob hit it off. 
He used to see the way he looks 

95
00:05:08,100 --> 00:05:10,900
at me as though. 
I were some unsavory criminal, 

96
00:05:10,900 --> 00:05:13,600
who's Kacey had to handle, even 
though he knew that he was 

97
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,100
guilty. 
He's always looked like that at 

98
00:05:16,100 --> 00:05:19,000
me too. 
It's just his solicitors manner.

99
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,700
I suppose I'll have to go over 
and see them tomorrow where he 

100
00:05:21,700 --> 00:05:23,000
went. 
Find your uncle Terrence there. 

101
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,300
He's been away fishing for the 
last week in Wales and aren't an

102
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,000
o. 
She's at home, poor woman, poor 

103
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,800
woman. 
Ah, yes. 

104
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,300
I suppose you haven't heard that
son-in-law of hers James. 

105
00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:38,200
He's got himself into some kind 
of financial scrape again and 

106
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,900
got a wire for more gas. 
Stay in Rome yesterday and 

107
00:05:40,900 --> 00:05:44,800
they've been to, perhaps even 
three telegrams before that. 

108
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,600
She seems to want her mother to 
go over. 

109
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,400
But of course, that's out of the
question things being as they 

110
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:55,000
are why well, firstly Terrence 
is against it and then Ann's 

111
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,400
been far from. 
Well, you know, It's a matter of

112
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,500
fact, she went to town today to 
see some Harley Street quack. 

113
00:06:00,700 --> 00:06:04,200
She's always worrying about her 
health or aren't an, you know. 

114
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,100
Well, I expect you want to take 
a deco at your aunt's letter and

115
00:06:09,100 --> 00:06:11,900
I dare say that at any case, 
your fact after the week's work 

116
00:06:11,900 --> 00:06:13,700
and the journey. 
Do you like to go up? 

117
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,100
Yes, I suppose it is getting 
late. 

118
00:06:15,900 --> 00:06:21,300
Damn how it's a ring. 
Hello. 

119
00:06:22,500 --> 00:06:26,900
Oh, hello. 
Yes, she's fine. 

120
00:06:26,900 --> 00:06:28,200
Thanks. 
Fine. 

121
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,200
Had dinner in her boudoir. 
I've got Malcolm here with me, 

122
00:06:33,700 --> 00:06:36,200
Malcolm. 
Yes. 

123
00:06:37,700 --> 00:06:38,900
Yes, yes. 
I'll tell her. 

124
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:44,500
Thank you and good night. 
Who was that? 

125
00:06:44,900 --> 00:06:49,800
Go that old busybody Mariah 
whole her. 

126
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,900
I'll whole who she like, you 
know that the Vicar's wife. 

127
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,000
You've met her. 
I'm sure. 

128
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,400
What does she want bringing up 
with this Earth? 

129
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,000
Well, she had tea with your aunt
yesterday and she seems to have 

130
00:07:02,700 --> 00:07:04,400
her. 
Well the robots cared about her 

131
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:05,800
health. 
Don't ask me why. 

132
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,200
Well, there you are. 
The Bachelors room, not too 

133
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,400
uncomfortable. 
I hope if you need anything in 

134
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,800
the nighttime, in the end room 
of all and room but I thought, 

135
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,300
oh, your arms. 
Turn me out of there. 

136
00:07:18,300 --> 00:07:20,300
Made the dressing room into her 
Boudoir now. 

137
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:25,600
Well, that's how it goes. 
My first act as soon as I shut 

138
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,200
the door behind me was to tear 
open my aunts letter to see what

139
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,500
you had to say. 
My dear. 

140
00:07:30,500 --> 00:07:33,900
Nephew Malcolm. 
I've decided to wait up no 

141
00:07:33,900 --> 00:07:37,000
longer for you. 
Here is the key of my Bureau in 

142
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,500
the Boudoir, the room next to 
yours, so that you can look at 

143
00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:42,700
my investment book before you go
to sleep. 

144
00:07:43,300 --> 00:07:45,300
You will find the book lying on 
top of the blotter. 

145
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,700
Come and see me after breakfast 
without fail. 

146
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,500
Your affectionate, Aunt, 
Katherine PS. 

147
00:07:53,100 --> 00:07:55,900
You will, of course, understand 
that I do not wish my investment

148
00:07:55,900 --> 00:07:59,400
book shown to anyone or its 
contents discussed. 

149
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,200
I took the key open the door 
between my room and the boudoirs

150
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,100
quickly, as I could went to the 
bureau and unlocked, it. 

151
00:08:07,100 --> 00:08:08,900
The book was lying on top of a 
leather blotter. 

152
00:08:09,500 --> 00:08:12,000
I lifted it out reverently. 
Shut the bureau locked. 

153
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,100
It tiptoed, back to my room and 
shut the door. 

154
00:08:15,300 --> 00:08:18,000
I remember how I then sat on my 
bed with my shirt half off. 

155
00:08:18,300 --> 00:08:20,700
Calculating on the back of my 
arms letter, the rough value of 

156
00:08:20,700 --> 00:08:24,300
her Securities. 
I couldn't also help calculating

157
00:08:24,300 --> 00:08:26,500
the commission, I should receive
on the order that I was already 

158
00:08:26,500 --> 00:08:30,700
planning to recommend to her. 
When I finally went to bed, 

159
00:08:31,500 --> 00:08:33,600
perhaps, because I'd been 
sitting there so long in a state

160
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,299
of half and dress, my teeth 
began to chatter. 

161
00:08:37,299 --> 00:08:39,700
There was nothing for it. 
I should have to go downstairs 

162
00:08:39,700 --> 00:08:42,700
and fetch my coats next recover 
unless I can find a rug to put 

163
00:08:42,700 --> 00:08:45,800
on my bed. 
There were no drugs to be seen 

164
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,900
in the hall. 
But at least my Overcoat was 

165
00:08:47,900 --> 00:08:51,200
thick in the hall. 
I noticed an ashtray and took 

166
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,200
that to there was none in my 
room since Aunt, Katherine 

167
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,300
disapproved of smoking. 
And I crept upstairs again. 

168
00:08:59,500 --> 00:09:02,200
I remember noticing that the 
light was on in my uncle's room 

169
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,800
at the end of the passage. 
After that, I slept soundly. 

170
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,400
You are Malcolm. 
I was wondering what on Earth 

171
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,200
would happen to you. 
I suppose you managed to 

172
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,100
oversleep. 
No. 

173
00:09:16,100 --> 00:09:18,400
Catherine. 
I've been up for hours. 

174
00:09:19,100 --> 00:09:21,400
In fact, Uncle Hannibal and I 
have just returned from a trip 

175
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:22,900
to the Village. 
You never asked me. 

176
00:09:22,900 --> 00:09:25,100
If he could have the car, we 
didn't go in the car. 

177
00:09:25,500 --> 00:09:27,200
He ran me down there on his 
motorbike. 

178
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,700
Noisy thing. 
It's undignified for a man of 

179
00:09:30,700 --> 00:09:33,800
his age and position. 
And why did you go down to the 

180
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,400
Village? 
Instead of coming in to see me? 

181
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,200
As I asked, I didn't want to 
disturb you until you had your 

182
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,600
breakfast. 
And well, I'm besides I wanted 

183
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,000
to by the financial times and 
the investors Chronicle before 

184
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,800
we had our chat. 
Also, I needed a nail brush. 

185
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,500
Dale brush. 
Well in the rush, I forgot to 

186
00:09:49,508 --> 00:09:52,800
pack mine last night. 
Well said that one sit down. 

187
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,800
No not on my bed on that chair 
throw that book somewhere else 

188
00:09:57,900 --> 00:10:01,500
anywhere. 
It's by that man Lawrence and 

189
00:10:01,500 --> 00:10:04,300
lend it to me quite revolting on
Tans far from. 

190
00:10:04,300 --> 00:10:06,800
Well, I hear. 
Well, you know, how she worries 

191
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:11,100
about her health People always 
come to me with their troubles, 

192
00:10:11,300 --> 00:10:15,300
but I have troubles, I deal with
them myself that'll times 

193
00:10:15,300 --> 00:10:17,100
Malcolm and I find myself 
longing. 

194
00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:19,300
Just longing to get away from 
here. 

195
00:10:19,300 --> 00:10:25,400
And from everyone who knows me, 
I suppose that will never be You

196
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,400
got my letter. 
Yes, I have it here. 

197
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,300
Did you find the book? 
Yes, I have it here, too. 

198
00:10:31,700 --> 00:10:34,300
Oh, and here's your key. 
I'm so excited. 

199
00:10:34,300 --> 00:10:36,800
You know, I'm Katherine that I 
lay awake for hours. 

200
00:10:36,900 --> 00:10:39,200
I hope you haven't excited 
yourself for nothing. 

201
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,500
The majority of my investments. 
I want to leave, just as they 

202
00:10:42,500 --> 00:10:44,400
are. 
Well, of course, aren't 

203
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,200
Katherine. 
All your important holding seem.

204
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,000
Well, absolutely safe. 
There are many calls on my 

205
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,400
income of which, you know, 
nothing. 

206
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,700
Well in that case, obviously 
security of income must come 

207
00:10:54,700 --> 00:10:56,000
first. 
Yes. 

208
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,200
Yes, of course. 
You realize, don't you Malcolm 

209
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,000
the truncal modest left me a 
very rich woman. 

210
00:11:02,100 --> 00:11:03,600
Well, I always imagined now 
Malcolm. 

211
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,800
I've taken a completely into my 
carpet and sever my Affairs on 

212
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,700
no account. 
Do I want you blabbing about 

213
00:11:08,700 --> 00:11:10,500
them to anyone else? 
Your uncle Hannibal? 

214
00:11:10,500 --> 00:11:14,000
Least of all, you're such a 
little gossip. 

215
00:11:14,500 --> 00:11:16,700
I know how to behave 
professionally on Catherine. 

216
00:11:16,700 --> 00:11:19,400
You are my only relative to know
what is in that investment book.

217
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,200
Now, now, tell me Malcolm, what 
would you do? 

218
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,400
What Prospect should I have? 
If I decided to entrust? 

219
00:11:27,500 --> 00:11:33,100
Still with well say 100,000 
pounds on my behalf. 

220
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:38,300
Well, I do I'd like to give the 
matter a lot of thought. 

221
00:11:38,300 --> 00:11:41,200
Of course. 
I have some ideas already. 

222
00:11:42,300 --> 00:11:44,200
Good Heavens. 
Is it gonna love them? 

223
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,300
I'ma send off a letter before 
the midday post be an angel and 

224
00:11:47,300 --> 00:11:50,600
give me that pad on the table 
over there, iPad. 

225
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,300
I can't see any pad. 
Are you sure? 

226
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,500
Quite sure at that. 
Girl. 

227
00:11:57,500 --> 00:12:01,100
She must have tied it away. 
Where would you put it? 

228
00:12:01,100 --> 00:12:03,700
God knows but there's another 
pattern of your do. 

229
00:12:03,700 --> 00:12:05,600
I expect him. 
I would one have a look. 

230
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,900
Yeah, take the key. 
I found a pet in the bureau and 

231
00:12:10,900 --> 00:12:13,000
lying on top of it. 
There was a flat bottle of pink 

232
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,600
glass, but unlike a large cent 
bottle wrapped around with a 

233
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,100
pamphlet. 
Curiously, I couldn't remember 

234
00:12:20,100 --> 00:12:21,400
it. 
Having been there, when I fetch 

235
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,800
the investment book from the 
same place the night before. 

236
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,700
The wide neck born on 8 label 
with the words, Le Sacre du Vin 

237
00:12:28,700 --> 00:12:31,900
use in Gold letters. 
What could it be? 

238
00:12:33,100 --> 00:12:35,600
Rashly, I decided to ask my 
aunt. 

239
00:12:36,500 --> 00:12:38,600
What have you been doing 
Malcolm? 

240
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,100
I found a pad and something 
else. 

241
00:12:41,100 --> 00:12:44,500
Look. 
Rippling outcome, doesn't that 

242
00:12:44,500 --> 00:12:47,700
expensive education for which I 
paid ever teach you? 

243
00:12:47,700 --> 00:12:50,100
That it is extremely rude to 
ramage among other people's 

244
00:12:50,100 --> 00:12:51,600
Treasures. 
I give me that one. 

245
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,900
What is it? 
It's a tonic, very special tonic

246
00:12:56,900 --> 00:13:03,100
from France, contains vitamins 
and all kinds of other things, 

247
00:13:03,100 --> 00:13:05,800
too. 
I meant to take a desk this 

248
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,400
morning. 
Give me that glass over there. 

249
00:13:09,700 --> 00:13:13,900
You aren't And the job please. 
The thank you. 

250
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,500
I suppose that's about a 
teaspoon, isn't it? 

251
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,500
Looks like Epsom salts. 
You can read what it says on 

252
00:13:28,500 --> 00:13:32,000
that pamphlet wrapped around it 
while I dash of my note and not 

253
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,600
sure they're that is really 
suitable for a boy of tender. 

254
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:42,100
Yes. 
Oh, what a horrible taste. 

255
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,100
That was the French say, you'll 
for sufrir preferable. 

256
00:13:47,300 --> 00:13:48,500
What do you think of day? 
Sir? 

257
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,100
Great Improvement on that slack 
old fool Paige. 

258
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,800
Davis was in the Coldstream 
guards. 

259
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,500
I didn't think it was so bitter.
Horrible. 

260
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,800
Will you, please sit down? 
Mr. Walden? 

261
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:19,200
Thank you. 
Inspector. 

262
00:14:19,900 --> 00:14:23,300
I'm sorry to have to ask you to 
go over certain details of your 

263
00:14:23,300 --> 00:14:26,500
story against her. 
But well, there's no harm in my 

264
00:14:26,500 --> 00:14:28,800
telling you. 
In fact, it's my duty to tell 

265
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,200
you that tests have now 
confirmed that as dr. 

266
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,400
Matthews suspected. 
Mrs. Cartwright met her death. 

267
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,600
Through poison poison. 
Yes, poison. 

268
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,200
Mr. Wallen suspected by the 
medical gentlemen, have been 

269
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:47,300
oxalic acid and having been 
Field in a preparation known as 

270
00:14:47,300 --> 00:14:48,600
Le secret. 
Davina's. 

271
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,200
Haha terrible. 
Yeah, I was afraid that the news

272
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,100
might come as a bit of a shock 
to you. 

273
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,900
That was the one you told us 
before that when you mentioned 

274
00:14:59,900 --> 00:15:03,200
your arms and mrs. 
Carville, the deceased referred 

275
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,200
to Troubles of our own. 
Have you any idea what they 

276
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,500
were? 
None would nothing to do with 

277
00:15:08,500 --> 00:15:09,600
money. 
Oh, no. 

278
00:15:09,700 --> 00:15:12,500
No, my aunt Katherine was a very
wealthy woman, but she said she 

279
00:15:12,500 --> 00:15:14,500
had many calls on it. 
That's right. 

280
00:15:14,900 --> 00:15:16,700
What did you take that to mean? 
Mr. Wallen? 

281
00:15:17,100 --> 00:15:19,500
I suppose she was alluding to 
her poor relatives. 

282
00:15:21,500 --> 00:15:23,600
Did mrs. 
Cartwright make you an 

283
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,300
allowance. 
No, but you had presents from 

284
00:15:26,300 --> 00:15:28,500
her money presents. 
Yes, at Christmas. 

285
00:15:28,500 --> 00:15:30,900
And on my birthday, not at other
times. 

286
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:36,300
Excuse me, if I asked for what 
amount usually, for 100 pounds. 

287
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,100
Suppose these troubles of which 
all art spoke were not money, 

288
00:15:42,100 --> 00:15:44,100
troubles. 
What could they be? 

289
00:15:44,700 --> 00:15:48,600
I've no idea. 
I want you now to tell me what 

290
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,800
opinion, you formed of the 
relations between your aunt and 

291
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,900
your uncle, your uncle Hannibal.
I'm not sure that I formed any 

292
00:15:55,900 --> 00:15:57,000
opinion are come. 
Come. 

293
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,600
Mr. Wallen. 
You do want to help us, don't 

294
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,700
you? 
Do you think that in recent 

295
00:16:01,700 --> 00:16:04,000
months they were getting on, as 
well as before? 

296
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:10,900
Hmm, perhaps not quite as well. 
One can't imagine that husbands 

297
00:16:10,900 --> 00:16:13,100
and wives live in a Perpetual 
state of bliss. 

298
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,700
I see you. 
Take a rather cynical view of 

299
00:16:15,700 --> 00:16:19,200
marriage. 
Now, then let's go on to this 

300
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,800
question of the bottle. 
Now, you say that you did not 

301
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,100
see it last night when you open 
the bureau and that's right, but

302
00:16:26,100 --> 00:16:27,500
that doesn't mean it wasn't 
there. 

303
00:16:28,100 --> 00:16:30,700
I may just have failed to notice
it and when you saw it this 

304
00:16:30,700 --> 00:16:33,700
morning, was it full? 
Well, I can't be certain. 

305
00:16:34,500 --> 00:16:36,900
I didn't look that careful 
well-to-do took out the stopper.

306
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,600
No, my aunt actually, any 
difficulty in doing so none that

307
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,600
I saw. 
Very well, then. 

308
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,600
Mr. Walton. 
I think that's all for the 

309
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,800
present. 
Thank you. 

310
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,900
Oh, by the way as a matter of 
form, would you oblige Me by 

311
00:16:51,900 --> 00:16:53,200
letting me? 
Take your fingerprint, sir? 

312
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,400
After I had been interrogated, 
it was the turn of my uncle 

313
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,500
Hannibal. 
Tell me, mr. 

314
00:16:59,500 --> 00:17:02,400
Cartwright was this Bureau of 
your wife's generally kept 

315
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:03,900
locked? 
I think so. 

316
00:17:03,900 --> 00:17:05,500
Yes. 
How do you mean you think so? 

317
00:17:05,500 --> 00:17:08,200
Don't you know, well, it was my 
wife's private Bureau. 

318
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,200
I never tampered with it. 
I see where did your wife, keep 

319
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,500
the key to it in her bag vaps? 
I really don't know. 

320
00:17:14,500 --> 00:17:16,500
Where did she take it from? 
When she put it in the envelope?

321
00:17:16,500 --> 00:17:17,800
Addressed your nephew. 
I don't know. 

322
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,300
I wasn't there. 
I wasn't even sure that it was 

323
00:17:20,300 --> 00:17:22,900
the key of the bureau. 
How did you know I was a kid all

324
00:17:23,700 --> 00:17:26,700
by the feel of it. 
Besides she told me she'd 

325
00:17:26,700 --> 00:17:28,800
arranged for my nephew to get at
the book. 

326
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,000
Weren't you surprised that your 
wife didn't give you the book 

327
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,800
straight out and ask you to pass
it on to him and not altogether.

328
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,100
Why not? 
Well, my wife was always rather 

329
00:17:37,500 --> 00:17:40,000
secretive I suppose I might call
it about money matters. 

330
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,500
She didn't want people to know 
how much she had not even her 

331
00:17:43,500 --> 00:17:44,800
husband. 
No. 

332
00:17:47,300 --> 00:17:50,400
When did you first see the 
bottle containing? 

333
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,100
The preparation. 
When I went into my wife's 

334
00:17:53,100 --> 00:17:56,700
bedroom with the doctor, that 
least, that's when I might have 

335
00:17:56,700 --> 00:17:57,900
seen it first. 
Now, do you mean? 

336
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,600
Well, I might have seen it when 
I rushed upstairs on first, 

337
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,200
being told a news. 
I don't remember seeing it very 

338
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,400
clearly. 
I was naturally very much taken 

339
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,400
aback and well, shocked by what 
I found. 

340
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,800
Can you describe the bottle? 
Oh, yes. 

341
00:18:17,100 --> 00:18:21,500
Was a pink glass with a rubber 
like a fancy scent bottle with a

342
00:18:21,508 --> 00:18:24,800
wide neck and a label with gold 
writing on it. 

343
00:18:26,100 --> 00:18:28,800
How come you can describe it? 
So well, if you don't remember 

344
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,300
seeing it very clearly. 
I suppose I must have taken in 

345
00:18:31,300 --> 00:18:33,800
the details. 
All my nephew may have told me 

346
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,700
what it was like. 
Or yes. 

347
00:18:37,700 --> 00:18:40,800
Well, I did. 
In fact see another bottle with 

348
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,200
the same label this morning. 
Oh you did well at Bales the 

349
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,000
Chemists in this button. 
What were you doing at the 

350
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,100
chemist this morning? 
Well, I ran my nephew into the 

351
00:18:48,100 --> 00:18:51,500
channel, my motorbike. 
He wanted to buy some papers, 

352
00:18:51,500 --> 00:18:54,900
the financial papers, and then 
he saw the chemists shop and 

353
00:18:54,900 --> 00:18:56,400
said that he wanted a nail 
brush. 

354
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,500
He went inside. 
And I hung about outside. 

355
00:18:59,900 --> 00:19:02,700
There were two or three of those
bottles in the window though. 

356
00:19:02,700 --> 00:19:05,100
You didn't actually go into the 
shop yourself know, as I told 

357
00:19:05,100 --> 00:19:06,700
you. 
So you don't actually know that 

358
00:19:06,700 --> 00:19:09,800
your nephew did by a nail brush.
Well, he came out with a with a 

359
00:19:09,808 --> 00:19:12,300
white paper parcel, but couldn't
this parcel of contained a 

360
00:19:12,300 --> 00:19:16,300
bottle of the mixture. 
Well, yes, I suppose it's just 

361
00:19:16,300 --> 00:19:16,700
possible. 
It. 

362
00:19:16,708 --> 00:19:19,400
Doesn't it seem to you rather 
extravagant Pine a nail brush 

363
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,000
when you ran away for a weekend.
I don't know. 

364
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,000
Perhaps Is your love you? 
Well off. 

365
00:19:28,100 --> 00:19:31,500
It depends what you mean. 
Considering he lives in a smart 

366
00:19:31,500 --> 00:19:33,900
part of London and has some 
smartish friends. 

367
00:19:33,900 --> 00:19:36,200
Well, perhaps he isn't good. 
The extravagant. 

368
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,500
I don't know. 
I suppose he spends pretty well.

369
00:19:38,500 --> 00:19:41,500
All he has most young fellows do
has he ever asked you for money?

370
00:19:41,700 --> 00:19:46,400
Never, he knows I have intended 
this bed or your wife and I 

371
00:19:46,408 --> 00:19:49,200
don't think so, but you're not 
sure what she never told me. 

372
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,300
He had. 
I shouldn't think he would, my 

373
00:19:51,300 --> 00:19:54,000
wife never like to lend money. 
She resented it of people asked 

374
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,500
did your wife? 
A mrs. 

375
00:19:55,500 --> 00:19:59,100
Cartwright care for your nephew.
Yes very much. 

376
00:19:59,100 --> 00:20:01,200
I should say and what he devoted
to her. 

377
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:06,200
Well not devoted perhaps but I 
never saw them getting on badly 

378
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,900
together. 
Well, I think that's about 

379
00:20:09,900 --> 00:20:12,100
everything for the moment. 
As a matter of form. 

380
00:20:12,100 --> 00:20:13,900
Do you mind if I just take your 
fingerprints, sir? 

381
00:20:15,300 --> 00:20:18,200
After tea that same day, the 
inspector summoned me again to 

382
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,300
my aunt's room. 
First, he made me go through 

383
00:20:21,300 --> 00:20:23,600
exactly the same movements that 
I had made when looking for the 

384
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,300
pad. 
How at the bottom will be lying 

385
00:20:26,300 --> 00:20:28,900
in the bureau. 
How would I picked it up? 

386
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:31,600
Next. 
He was making me use a bottle of

387
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,900
scent as a dummy. 
I had to re-enact hard given the

388
00:20:34,900 --> 00:20:38,200
bottle to my aunt. 
Had she touched my hand at all. 

389
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:42,500
Had she taken the bottle by its 
neck or lower down in which 

390
00:20:42,500 --> 00:20:45,100
hand, she held it. 
Had she difficulty and pulling 

391
00:20:45,100 --> 00:20:47,900
out the stopper. 
I couldn't understand why you 

392
00:20:47,900 --> 00:20:49,600
should be so eager to get all 
these details. 

393
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:50,500
Exactly? 
Right. 

394
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:52,700
It seemed pretty unimportant to 
me. 

395
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,000
And eventually, my impatience 
proved too much for me, you 

396
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,100
know, inspector. 
I honestly think I'd be able to 

397
00:20:59,100 --> 00:21:00,800
help you better. 
If you told me exactly what 

398
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,400
you're getting at. 
All right. 

399
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,600
Then. 
Mr. Wallen, I'll be quite Frank 

400
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,500
with you. 
What we are puzzled about. 

401
00:21:06,500 --> 00:21:10,900
Is this, when you handle the 
bottle just now, you made finger

402
00:21:10,900 --> 00:21:13,300
marks all over it except perhaps
within an inch or two of the 

403
00:21:13,300 --> 00:21:17,900
neck now is the snag on the 
actual bottle on the bottle. 

404
00:21:17,900 --> 00:21:20,800
Containing the mixture. 
There's no trace of your finger 

405
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,800
marks at all. 
Oh, we found mrs. 

406
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,500
Cartwright. 
Prints on the stopper and the 

407
00:21:24,508 --> 00:21:27,600
neck and lower down, but not 
one, not a single one of yours. 

408
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,600
It's a little problem that has 
puzzled. 

409
00:21:31,300 --> 00:21:35,800
Perhaps you can explain it. 
Well, of course, I've got it. 

410
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,400
I never touched the bottle 
containing the mixture at all. 

411
00:21:39,700 --> 00:21:41,900
You never touched it. 
What do you mean? 

412
00:21:41,900 --> 00:21:43,500
Mr. Warren? 
Well, there was this paper wrap 

413
00:21:43,500 --> 00:21:45,800
around the bottle, covering the 
lower part. 

414
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,700
I should think it went to with 
an inch and a half of the neck. 

415
00:21:49,100 --> 00:21:52,700
It was wrapped tightly around 
and of course it was that that I

416
00:21:52,708 --> 00:21:57,300
touched good Lord. 
What became of this wrapper on. 

417
00:21:57,300 --> 00:21:59,800
My aunt took the bottle by its 
neck, it slipped out of the 

418
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:01,200
wrapper, which remained in my 
hand. 

419
00:22:01,300 --> 00:22:03,000
Why didn't you tell us this 
before? 

420
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,900
It seems A trivial detail and I 
suppose I was so upset that what

421
00:22:06,900 --> 00:22:08,800
I forgot about it or what did 
you do with the rapper? 

422
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,200
Can you remember I must have 
stuffed it in my pocket because 

423
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,100
I pulled it out in the drawing 
room while waiting for dr. 

424
00:22:14,100 --> 00:22:18,400
Matthews. 
Yes, and I put it on the coffee 

425
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,000
table. 
On the coffee table. 

426
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:21,700
Yes. 
I'm almost sure that it. 

427
00:22:21,700 --> 00:22:23,000
Did. 
You mention the rapid to dr. 

428
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,800
Matthews? 
Oh, I don't think so. 

429
00:22:24,900 --> 00:22:29,000
No, it didn't seem important. 
Did you mention it to to whom? 

430
00:22:30,300 --> 00:22:33,500
Well, never mind that now. 
So for all you know, the rapper 

431
00:22:33,500 --> 00:22:35,900
is still on that coffee table. 
Yes. 

432
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,600
Well, let's go and find it. 
But when we arrived in the 

433
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,900
drawing room, it was obvious 
that the rapper had gone. 

434
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,700
The inspector nodded at me 
curtly, that'll do for the 

435
00:22:45,700 --> 00:22:46,200
moment. 
Thank you. 

436
00:22:46,208 --> 00:22:49,500
Mr. Warren through the window of
the sitting room had already 

437
00:22:49,500 --> 00:22:53,400
glimpsed aren't am always a 
favorite of mine walking with 

438
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,700
Uncle Hannibal in the garden. 
I hurried out to join them. 

439
00:22:58,500 --> 00:23:01,000
For Malcolm. 
This must all be dreadful for 

440
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,500
you. 
Yes, I do feel rather shattered.

441
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,400
I've just had my third 
interrogation. 

442
00:23:06,900 --> 00:23:10,200
Did you think they want me again
to the didn't say, Sir, that 

443
00:23:10,208 --> 00:23:13,100
conducting a kind of search 
party a search party? 

444
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:16,500
What for a rapper that was 
around that bottle and has now 

445
00:23:16,500 --> 00:23:19,600
disappeared, a rapper. 
Well, perhaps I'd better go and 

446
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,500
see them one. 
Never knows. 

447
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,700
Well, goodbye, Ann and thank you
for coming to cheer us up. 

448
00:23:26,900 --> 00:23:29,600
Goodbye Hannibal and try not to 
worry. 

449
00:23:32,100 --> 00:23:34,500
Pulpit. 
It's all very well to say that 

450
00:23:34,500 --> 00:23:36,700
to him but he's always been the 
worrying. 

451
00:23:36,700 --> 00:23:38,500
Kind under that car manner of 
his. 

452
00:23:39,300 --> 00:23:41,400
I sometimes think it would have 
been far better for him. 

453
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,400
If he never met Kathryn and got 
mixed up with us at all. 

454
00:23:45,300 --> 00:23:46,900
I'm Catherine was never very 
nice to him. 

455
00:23:46,900 --> 00:23:51,300
Was she accepted the beginning? 
Sometimes I used to feel quite 

456
00:23:51,300 --> 00:23:52,900
embarrassed, just to hear her 
turn. 

457
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,200
I've Telegraph deterrence. 
As you probably heard. 

458
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,200
He's away fishing in Wales. 
You'll be glad to have somebody 

459
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,400
who knows about the Practical 
side of these terrible. 

460
00:24:01,500 --> 00:24:05,700
As in many ways, poor Hannibal 
is so, utterly innocent. 

461
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,900
Oh, I've wired to Bob to. 
I should think he'll catch the 

462
00:24:08,900 --> 00:24:11,000
train tonight. 
I'm lucky. 

463
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,600
I supposed to have such an 
extremely efficient, husband, 

464
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,100
and son. 
I can always leave them to cope 

465
00:24:17,100 --> 00:24:19,900
with things. 
I'm not a Koper at all and 

466
00:24:19,900 --> 00:24:23,200
neither is poor Hannibal. 
On time. 

467
00:24:23,300 --> 00:24:25,700
Hmm. 
Have you any idea when Catherine

468
00:24:25,700 --> 00:24:27,000
could have brought that bottle 
of hers? 

469
00:24:27,300 --> 00:24:28,700
Oh yes. 
On Friday morning. 

470
00:24:29,100 --> 00:24:32,000
How can you be so certain? 
Well, I went to see her that 

471
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,700
day, very early before I set off
for London and she was full of 

472
00:24:35,700 --> 00:24:38,900
this quite mixture. 
Some friends of hers are told 

473
00:24:38,900 --> 00:24:41,500
her about it. 
It eliminated wrinkles and 

474
00:24:41,500 --> 00:24:45,700
brought color to the hair and oh
did wonders for one's sex life. 

475
00:24:46,900 --> 00:24:49,600
She'd seen a bottle at Bales and
was going into mace burrito by 

476
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,800
it that very morning. 
So you knew the stuff was in the

477
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,600
house last night. 
Do you realize that you may be 

478
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,300
the only person who knew that 
hardly, at least one other 

479
00:24:59,300 --> 00:25:02,700
person must have known it to the
person who used his, or her 

480
00:25:02,700 --> 00:25:04,600
knowledge to do this. 
Ghastly thing. 

481
00:25:05,900 --> 00:25:09,200
I supposed a strobe anime spree 
that revolting creature. 

482
00:25:09,700 --> 00:25:11,800
Yes, I suppose he did. 
So he would have known. 

483
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:17,200
Yes. 
Tell me, Malcolm honestly, how 

484
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,200
far do you think that the police
suspect poor Hannibal about as 

485
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,600
much as they suspect me. 
We both had Splendid chances of 

486
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,700
doing it and we both had 
motives. 

487
00:25:25,700 --> 00:25:28,900
Oh Malcolm long as there are two
of us equally under a cloud. 

488
00:25:28,900 --> 00:25:32,300
I don't think we'd be in a hurry
to arrest either when one is 

489
00:25:32,300 --> 00:25:37,200
cleared and see how either of us
can be cleared until the real 

490
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,700
murderer is caught but that's 
terrible. 

491
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,000
The consciousness of innocence 
is a great comfort, you know. 

492
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,000
I suppose it couldn't have been 
suicide. 

493
00:25:47,700 --> 00:25:50,200
Side, well, it's physically 
possible that I'm Catherine, put

494
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,300
the poison in the bottle itself,
but everything else points the 

495
00:25:52,300 --> 00:25:55,200
other way, do you think I ought 
to go to the police and tell 

496
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,100
them what I know sooner or 
later, they'll certainly asked 

497
00:25:58,100 --> 00:26:01,200
to see you and they be questions
endless questions. 

498
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,500
Like the ones I've had to put up
with such as well. 

499
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,600
Did you buy the medicine for on 
Catherine? 

500
00:26:06,900 --> 00:26:09,100
Did you visit the house again 
after your day in London? 

501
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,200
What do you know about my 
relationship with Uncle? 

502
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,600
Hannibal and Uncle Hannibal's 
relationship with Aunt 

503
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,600
Katherine? 
Yes, it will be tedious. 

504
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,500
I see. 
And what am I to say about 

505
00:26:18,500 --> 00:26:21,700
Hannibal and Catherine? 
I suppose, they imagine that all

506
00:26:21,700 --> 00:26:23,900
proper husbands and wives dote 
on each other. 

507
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,700
Well, I should just say that as 
far as, you know, Uncle Hannibal

508
00:26:27,700 --> 00:26:29,800
and Aunt, Katherine always got 
on very well together. 

509
00:26:30,900 --> 00:26:33,600
I tried to give them a more 
truthful answer than that. 

510
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,700
With the result of the inspector
accused me of taking a cynical 

511
00:26:36,700 --> 00:26:41,500
view of marriage. 
Tell me. 

512
00:26:41,500 --> 00:26:44,600
Aunt, Anne. 
Do you think that Uncle Hannibal

513
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,800
suspect me? 
Of course not? 

514
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:54,900
Do you suspect him? 
I can understand the police. 

515
00:26:54,900 --> 00:27:00,500
Suspecting him? 
Yes, but you will in some ways. 

516
00:27:00,500 --> 00:27:06,700
I don't see how I can help 
suspecting him unto him. 

517
00:27:07,100 --> 00:27:12,200
Please don't do that. 
Forgive me Malcolm like I don't 

518
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:18,600
know why I suppose I'm more 
affected than I thought I was 

519
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,300
Anton, is everything. 
All right with you. 

520
00:27:21,500 --> 00:27:23,200
All right. 
Well, I gather you had to see 

521
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,100
some Holly Street man on Friday.
Yes. 

522
00:27:26,100 --> 00:27:28,300
That's right. 
I get very nervous about myself 

523
00:27:28,300 --> 00:27:31,100
at times. 
You know that, but well, I was 

524
00:27:31,100 --> 00:27:33,900
reassured, nothing serious. 
I'm awfully glad to hear that. 

525
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,500
I've also been worrying about 
all gusta or gustan, which is 

526
00:27:38,500 --> 00:27:40,800
Nadia. 
Has she no not him pregnant. 

527
00:27:41,500 --> 00:27:45,000
Well, it's nothing to get worked
up about, is it what do you 

528
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,200
dread becoming a grandmother for
the first time? 

529
00:27:47,700 --> 00:27:53,800
No, good gracious in there. 
But, well, it will, this is the 

530
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,600
worst possible moment for 
something like that to happen. 

531
00:27:56,900 --> 00:27:59,900
Why? 
She and James are in a bad way. 

532
00:27:59,900 --> 00:28:02,300
Financially. 
I thought he had a lot of money 

533
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,400
and in dog, us to get that 
Legacy from her. 

534
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,400
Father who they both had quite a
bit once. 

535
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,400
But he put it into some Travel 
Agency in Rome that promptly 

536
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,300
went and failed. 
No, I'm afraid. 

537
00:28:14,300 --> 00:28:16,300
Terrence is right about poor 
James. 

538
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,600
He has the reverse of the Midas 
touch. 

539
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,700
Are they still in Italy? 
Yes, I'd like to go out to them.

540
00:28:22,700 --> 00:28:25,500
That Terrence is against it. 
He thinks I'm far too, 

541
00:28:25,500 --> 00:28:27,700
possessive a mother and ought to
leave them to get on with 

542
00:28:27,700 --> 00:28:31,400
things, but it's difficult when 
you keep getting these 

543
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,200
anguished, please from your 
daughter. 

544
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:39,200
Oh, I do wish Terrence like 
James more, but you know how 

545
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,300
important it is to him? 
That people should be sound. 

546
00:28:42,900 --> 00:28:45,100
I don't think Uncle Terrence 
thinks me Orpheus. 

547
00:28:45,100 --> 00:28:49,800
And in many ways his view of 
life is often narrow, and 

548
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,700
conventional Hannibal is 
different. 

549
00:28:53,700 --> 00:28:56,800
I suppose if you've served in 
the Merchant Navy, you acquire a

550
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,600
wider view, you know, Uncle 
Hannibal, never ceases to 

551
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,400
surprise me. 
How do you mean when I first met

552
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:07,800
him? 
I I told him so ugly ordinary as

553
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,200
most people do but bit by bit. 
I've come to see that. 

554
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,900
In fact, he has all kinds of 
hidden complexities and deaths 

555
00:29:13,900 --> 00:29:16,800
to his character. 
Oh, you're so right about that. 

556
00:29:16,900 --> 00:29:21,500
So right and as you say most 
people never see them and I 

557
00:29:21,500 --> 00:29:25,600
wonder if Aunt Katherine did, of
course not she never appreciated

558
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,300
him Not For a Moment fancy 
preferring the company of that 

559
00:29:29,300 --> 00:29:32,200
awful. 
Des Des is very handsome. 

560
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,600
Well, so is Hannibal if it comes
to that Catherine would never 

561
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,400
have married. 
A man who wasn't handsome. 

562
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,500
Well, I suppose I'd better be 
setting off for home. 

563
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,000
But perhaps you be a dear and 
tell the inspector that, if he 

564
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,600
wants a word with me, I'll be in
for the rest of the day. 

565
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,500
I don't feel. 
I can face him just for a 

566
00:29:52,508 --> 00:29:53,700
moment. 
I'll tell him. 

567
00:29:53,700 --> 00:29:57,000
I'm good. 
Oh, oh, your belated birthday 

568
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,800
present is at last almost ready.
When you come over. 

569
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,200
I'll give it to you. 
What is it? 

570
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,900
Should I tell you? 
Or do you want it to be a 

571
00:30:03,900 --> 00:30:06,400
surprise? 
Oh, no, tell me I hate 

572
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,300
surprises. 
Well, I've been binding and 

573
00:30:09,300 --> 00:30:12,700
rashid's novel epithet W. 
It's a great favorite of mine. 

574
00:30:12,700 --> 00:30:16,200
I thought you might like it. 
And I've used this really rather

575
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,400
beautiful pale gray Morocco. 
It sounds marvelous. 

576
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,700
You are clever. 
Well, wait until you see it. 

577
00:30:28,900 --> 00:30:31,800
The next day was Sunday. 
I was wondering in the garden 

578
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,200
after breakfast when I saw my 
cousin Bob aren't and sun coming

579
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:41,800
through the gates. 
I can't tell you how glad I am 

580
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,300
to see you? 
I was only saying drunkle 

581
00:30:44,300 --> 00:30:46,500
Hannibal at breakfast that it 
was essential for us to have a 

582
00:30:46,500 --> 00:30:49,800
solicitor you and Uncle turns 
active for on Catherine. 

583
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,400
Didn't you in most things? 
Yes, but when she wanted to keep

584
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,100
something secret from the 
family. 

585
00:30:54,300 --> 00:30:57,100
Well, you know how she was. 
Presumably you drop. 

586
00:30:57,100 --> 00:31:00,700
The will know that was done by a
little man pulled smote the 

587
00:31:00,700 --> 00:31:02,900
quite nabal fellow in a way. 
They're hardly out of the 

588
00:31:02,900 --> 00:31:06,000
handkerchief draw. 
As a matter of fact, I've just 

589
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,100
come on from his office after a 
little chat. 

590
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,500
He told me a good deal about the
will. 

591
00:31:10,500 --> 00:31:11,900
You mean? 
Yes. 

592
00:31:13,900 --> 00:31:16,500
What Katherine apparently made 
her first will or other her 

593
00:31:16,500 --> 00:31:19,300
first will after Hannibal came 
on the scene a few days before 

594
00:31:19,300 --> 00:31:21,700
her marriage. 
I gather that in it, almost all 

595
00:31:21,700 --> 00:31:25,800
her money was left to him, that 
Will was revoked some eight 

596
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,100
months ago and Catherine then 
made a second will, in which she

597
00:31:29,100 --> 00:31:31,900
was far, less generous to her 
beloved husband. 

598
00:31:32,700 --> 00:31:35,200
Two months ago. 
She made yet another will. 

599
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,700
And what were the terms of that 
far more satisfactory from our 

600
00:31:38,700 --> 00:31:42,300
point of view you, and I are the
executives and, for our trouble,

601
00:31:42,300 --> 00:31:45,800
we each get a thousand. 
Out of this, after a host of 

602
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,200
little legacies, you know, the 
kind of thing the estate is then

603
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:52,800
divided into ten Parts 3/10 to 
your mother three tenths to my, 

604
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:57,600
father 2/10 to charity and 1/10 
each to Hannibal and Augusta 

605
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,600
1/10 to Hannibal, but that's, 
that's disgraceful. 

606
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,800
I mean, when death duties in the
legacies of been paying, no 

607
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,300
idea, you were so attached to 
the carthaginian. 

608
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,400
Well, after all, it's only fair 
that one should pay for one's 

609
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,600
pleasures and there's no doubt 
that the carthaginian as you and

610
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,600
Uncle Terrence chose. 
To call him was a it was a great

611
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,800
pleasure to Aunt Katherine for 
18 months after a marriage and 

612
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,200
for several months before it. 
The days. 

613
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,200
Get anything 400. 
He's The Unlucky One. 

614
00:32:26,100 --> 00:32:27,500
I'm Catherine. 
Evidently thought she was not 

615
00:32:27,500 --> 00:32:30,700
being generous enough to him and
too generous to Hannibal and on 

616
00:32:30,700 --> 00:32:33,300
Friday, route to smell to ask 
him to prepare a new will for 

617
00:32:33,300 --> 00:32:35,800
her. 
According to that will Des was 

618
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,500
to get that one tenth of the 
estate and Hannibal, nothing 

619
00:32:38,500 --> 00:32:40,900
whatsoever. 
She was going to call and sign 

620
00:32:40,900 --> 00:32:43,300
this new will sometime next 
week. 

621
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,100
Oh look, there's Hannibal now. 
I don't care to speak to that 

622
00:32:46,100 --> 00:32:47,400
Bounder. 
Oh Bob. 

623
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:48,700
You must? 
Hello Bob. 

624
00:32:48,700 --> 00:32:50,800
Your mother said you'd be over 
sometime this morning. 

625
00:32:51,100 --> 00:32:55,000
Undo, my professional capacity 
as representative of Aunt, 

626
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,200
Katherine's solicitor. 
I see, I see. 

627
00:32:57,300 --> 00:32:59,600
I don't know if all her private 
papers and money are locked up. 

628
00:32:59,700 --> 00:33:02,300
If not, they ought to be. 
Well, most of her private things

629
00:33:02,300 --> 00:33:04,000
were in the bureau in the 
Boudoir. 

630
00:33:04,100 --> 00:33:07,700
The police have the key of that 
and of the Boudoir itself, the 

631
00:33:07,700 --> 00:33:09,800
may also be papers in the 
drawers of her desk in the 

632
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,200
sitting room locked. 
I can't. 

633
00:33:11,300 --> 00:33:12,700
Yes. 
Where's the key? 

634
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,500
I think, the police must have 
it. 

635
00:33:14,700 --> 00:33:18,200
I should like to be sure that no
unauthorized person can gain 

636
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,900
access to those drawers. 
Why the hell are you taking? 

637
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,800
In it on yourself to make these 
Arrangements. 

638
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,300
I should have thought the job 
was either mine or the police is

639
00:33:25,300 --> 00:33:27,100
after all I wasn't married to 
your aunt. 

640
00:33:27,100 --> 00:33:30,800
I am here as a matter of fact, 
as the executor of my aunts. 

641
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,500
Will, are you the only executor?
No, Malcolm's the other. 

642
00:33:34,500 --> 00:33:35,600
But I'm sure he'll appreciate 
it. 

643
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,300
If I say that he has no 
professional status. 

644
00:33:41,900 --> 00:33:43,800
I'm not used to this kind of 
ill-bred. 

645
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,500
All right, but he's a bloody 
runt. 

646
00:33:56,500 --> 00:33:58,700
Bobby you hurt my jaw feels 
stiff. 

647
00:33:58,700 --> 00:34:01,600
I hope he hasn't broken it. 
Where is he? 

648
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,700
I take him to his heels. 
I see. 

649
00:34:04,700 --> 00:34:06,200
You shouldn't have baited him 
like that. 

650
00:34:06,500 --> 00:34:08,199
He's naturally very upset at the
moment. 

651
00:34:08,199 --> 00:34:11,400
Baited him as merely attempting 
to carry out my legal Duty. 

652
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,600
I really think this is a matter 
to report to the police. 

653
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,699
We can't have him tampering with
Justice tampering with Justice. 

654
00:34:16,699 --> 00:34:19,100
How's he doing that by not 
letting me ensure that Aunt 

655
00:34:19,100 --> 00:34:21,000
Katherine's effects are in safe 
keeping. 

656
00:34:21,100 --> 00:34:22,400
He's done. 
Nothing to prevent you. 

657
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,000
We can go in now if you like, I 
think I've done all I am called 

658
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,300
upon I do. 
As I passed through the hole 

659
00:34:29,300 --> 00:34:31,900
after saying goodbye to Bob. 
I met Des. 

660
00:34:32,500 --> 00:34:35,400
They've just said me. 
And again, I don't seem to 

661
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,500
remember the questions. 
They've asked once already. 

662
00:34:38,900 --> 00:34:41,000
I'll feel like telling them that
their memories were so bad. 

663
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:46,600
They want to take some notes. 
Rum dudes Nets are what sort of 

664
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:47,900
questions of they've been 
asking. 

665
00:34:47,900 --> 00:34:50,699
Well. 
I suppose it's all right to tell

666
00:34:50,699 --> 00:34:54,400
her third party on, don't if you
feel, you shouldn't this bottle 

667
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,000
of the Mistresses. 
If it asked me once, they've 

668
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,500
asked me 100 times of I'd ever 
seen it before or seen a buy it.

669
00:35:01,900 --> 00:35:05,500
But I took it up Dale's last 
Friday, but I was sitting in the

670
00:35:05,500 --> 00:35:07,600
car waiting for us. 
How was, I don't know what she 

671
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,300
bought herself. 
There was this parcel. 

672
00:35:10,300 --> 00:35:13,200
That's all I know lumpy like and
what else did they ask you? 

673
00:35:13,300 --> 00:35:16,900
Well, they wanted to know of the
master and mistress got on 

674
00:35:16,900 --> 00:35:18,900
together. 
He asked me that too. 

675
00:35:19,900 --> 00:35:23,100
What did you tell them? 
Well, I thought it better not to

676
00:35:23,100 --> 00:35:25,200
mention that they had so many 
Rouse. 

677
00:35:26,300 --> 00:35:27,900
I mean, it might have given the 
wrong idea. 

678
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,500
Martin it. 
So I just said that I thought 

679
00:35:31,500 --> 00:35:34,900
they got tired of each other 
from time to time, like most 

680
00:35:34,900 --> 00:35:37,500
married couples. 
Well, I don't know if most 

681
00:35:37,500 --> 00:35:39,800
married couples go at each other
hammer and tongs that I've heard

682
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:44,600
them doing and then the 
inspector asked me if mr. 

683
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,700
Cartwright ever gave his wife, 
any cause for jealousy. 

684
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,400
And what did you say to that? 
What I said? 

685
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:58,100
Not that I knew of I almost said
why should she be jealous seeing

686
00:35:58,100 --> 00:36:00,100
as our? 
She seemed to have lost her 

687
00:36:00,100 --> 00:36:02,000
interest in him? 
Yes. 

688
00:36:02,500 --> 00:36:06,500
Well, I'd better rejoin us to 
cartridge, you know, so I have 

689
00:36:06,500 --> 00:36:08,400
the feeling they're onto 
something. 

690
00:36:09,900 --> 00:36:13,300
And ask me why but I just had 
that feeling. 

691
00:36:14,700 --> 00:36:16,900
The first time that question me 
and the time after that, it was 

692
00:36:16,900 --> 00:36:22,900
different, this time. 
Yes, they know something. 

693
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:29,300
Something's turned up. 
Late that afternoon, my uncle 

694
00:36:29,300 --> 00:36:32,600
Terrence aren't and husband and 
Bob's father arrived. 

695
00:36:33,500 --> 00:36:35,900
I asked him if he wished me to 
call Uncle Hannibal, but he said

696
00:36:35,900 --> 00:36:39,400
that he would like to put some 
questions to me first, this he 

697
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,700
did making me feel as if the 
inspector were yet. 

698
00:36:42,700 --> 00:36:46,400
Again, interrogating me. 
And with his usual ponderous 

699
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,500
man, he delivered his judgment. 
Those are my mind Malcolm. 

700
00:36:49,500 --> 00:36:52,400
The case is a simple one simple,
Uncle Terrence. 

701
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:53,000
Yes. 
Simple. 

702
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,100
Malcolm. 
I'm afraid, there are many 

703
00:36:55,100 --> 00:36:56,500
homes. 
It seems superficially 

704
00:36:56,500 --> 00:37:00,600
harmonious and United. 
But if one looks deeply, all 

705
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:04,500
manner of a vile complications 
at one strike the eye, I don't 

706
00:37:04,500 --> 00:37:06,800
think I follow you. 
Oh, come now Malcolm, but not as

707
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,900
naive as all that. 
I should hope in households 

708
00:37:09,900 --> 00:37:12,900
where an imprudent and foolish 
marriage has been made. 

709
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,900
You know, I'm sure what I mean. 
One may almost always assume 

710
00:37:16,900 --> 00:37:20,300
that Beneath The Superficial 
semblance of agreement that are 

711
00:37:20,300 --> 00:37:23,400
bound to be murky patches. 
I'm sure that aren't Catherine 

712
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,800
and Uncle Hannibal must have had
their differences from time to 

713
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,200
time. 
But but at the same, I like your

714
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:29,700
little to Malcolm. 
It's a quality. 

715
00:37:29,700 --> 00:37:33,100
I've always liked in you. 
One does not wish. 

716
00:37:33,300 --> 00:37:36,500
Of course one doesn't wish to 
say anything unfeeling about 

717
00:37:36,500 --> 00:37:39,800
your aunt at a moment like this.
But at the same time I have no 

718
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:43,100
doubt, no doubt at all that. 
She began to regret her 

719
00:37:43,100 --> 00:37:45,200
miserable marriage. 
I don't know what reason you 

720
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,200
have for saying that a reason I 
happen to know that she was 

721
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,500
preparing to revoke a will. 
She was not one to whom the 

722
00:37:51,500 --> 00:37:54,100
admission of error came easily. 
You must have noticed that 

723
00:37:54,100 --> 00:37:58,000
yourself but at long last should
come to see that those nearest 

724
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,600
to her. 
Your mother included had been. 

725
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,000
Right all along. 
Mother and Hannibal, I've always

726
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,000
gone rather. 
Well, we all get on well with a 

727
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,800
number of people whom he would 
hardly consider suitable 

728
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,000
Marriage Partners for our 
nearest and Dearest. 

729
00:38:11,100 --> 00:38:13,500
Well, all we can do now is to 
avenge her death. 

730
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,200
It will give me the greatest 
satisfaction. 

731
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:20,500
I am not speaking vindictively 
here, when the guilty person has

732
00:38:20,500 --> 00:38:22,700
been brought to Justice. 
I don't much care for the idea 

733
00:38:22,700 --> 00:38:26,300
of Vengeance, Uncle Terrence, 
but I agree with you completely 

734
00:38:26,300 --> 00:38:28,200
and hoping that everything will 
soon be cleared up. 

735
00:38:28,700 --> 00:38:30,300
If no one we know is involved so
much. 

736
00:38:30,300 --> 00:38:31,000
The better. 
No one. 

737
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,100
We know I'm afraid Malcolm. 
You're simply branding yourself 

738
00:38:34,100 --> 00:38:37,500
to the face, the facts. 
What are they? 

739
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,100
That's what I'm continually 
asking myself, and what the 

740
00:38:41,100 --> 00:38:41,900
police are. 
No doubt. 

741
00:38:41,900 --> 00:38:44,900
Continually asking themselves to
use the words. 

742
00:38:44,900 --> 00:38:48,200
Fetch rather Loosely. 
I concede, I was referring to a 

743
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,800
three important things. 
In a crime of this nature motive

744
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,600
opportunity, probability by 
probability. 

745
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,900
Do you mean? 
Well, murderous disposition. 

746
00:38:56,900 --> 00:38:59,700
And that is not the expression. 
I might myself have chosen but 

747
00:38:59,700 --> 00:39:04,000
by and large, yes. 
Now, it's quite clear to me that

748
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,500
no member of your family or mind
would commit a murder that 

749
00:39:07,500 --> 00:39:09,100
wouldn't count for much in a 
court of law. 

750
00:39:09,100 --> 00:39:11,000
Would it? 
No, I agree with you girl. 

751
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:15,500
But when we look at the case 
rationally, unhampered by The 

752
00:39:15,500 --> 00:39:18,500
Rules of Evidence, we can, I 
think Venture certain 

753
00:39:18,500 --> 00:39:22,900
conclusions and we are justified
in looking for evidence to fit 

754
00:39:22,900 --> 00:39:25,400
those conclusions. 
What conclusions do you mean? 

755
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,600
Oh come come Malcolm. 
If you don't know what 

756
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,800
conclusions I mean that I'm 
afraid that this whole 

757
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:31,500
conversation of us have been 
wasted. 

758
00:39:33,500 --> 00:39:36,500
Well, I suppose I'd better total
along and have a word with the 

759
00:39:36,500 --> 00:39:40,100
inspector. 
I have one idea of, I hope to 

760
00:39:40,100 --> 00:39:42,800
follow up. 
I hope they expected to yield 

761
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:46,600
any results at this late stage, 
but no, stone must be left 

762
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:50,300
unturned. 
As I lay in bed that night my 

763
00:39:50,300 --> 00:39:54,800
mind began to weave improbable 
plots, improbable but not 

764
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:59,100
impossible. 
Suppose that by some 

765
00:39:59,100 --> 00:40:01,600
extraordinary means, Uncle 
Terrence had contrived to enter 

766
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,500
the house on Friday. 
Suppose that he had some 

767
00:40:04,500 --> 00:40:07,000
Confederate days was the most 
likely person. 

768
00:40:09,500 --> 00:40:11,700
Of course, you would have to 
have known that aren't Catherine

769
00:40:11,700 --> 00:40:15,000
intended to buy that box at the 
chemist and then he would had to

770
00:40:15,008 --> 00:40:17,900
have substituted a poison one 
for the one that she had bought.

771
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:24,400
Yes, is it was improbable? 
But it wasn't impossible. 

772
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,200
Case against Hannibal, on the 
other hand was less far-fetched.

773
00:40:30,300 --> 00:40:32,500
It was greatly to his interest 
that aren't Katherine should die

774
00:40:32,500 --> 00:40:34,600
before she had cut him entirely 
out of her will. 

775
00:40:35,900 --> 00:40:37,700
She had told him about purchase 
of the tonic. 

776
00:40:38,700 --> 00:40:40,800
And the arrival of his nephew 
had provided him with the 

777
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,600
perfect opportunity to shift the
guilt under someone else. 

778
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,800
Eventually, I could stand the 
uncertainty, no longer. 

779
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:49,800
I threw back. 
The bedclothes hurried into my 

780
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:51,900
dressing gown and slippers and 
made from my uncle's room. 

781
00:40:55,100 --> 00:40:56,700
Uncle Hannibal. 
I'm go Hannibal. 

782
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:00,400
I'll go Hannibal, Iowa. 
Sleep. 

783
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,800
What the devil? 
What's going on? 

784
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:05,700
What's going on? 
I'll put on the light. 

785
00:41:07,100 --> 00:41:10,100
Malcolm. 
What time is it? 

786
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,000
Good God. 
It's 3:40. 

787
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,300
Sorry, Uncle Hannibal, but I 
simply have to thrash this whole

788
00:41:16,300 --> 00:41:18,500
thing out. 
Freshwater out this whole 

789
00:41:18,500 --> 00:41:20,000
business of on Katherine's 
murder. 

790
00:41:21,300 --> 00:41:23,300
You realize don't you that the 
police must have to Chief 

791
00:41:23,300 --> 00:41:27,600
suspects, myself and you ass, 
but who else? 

792
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,200
It never struck me for one 
moment. 

793
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,600
That anyone could possibly 
suppose that you might have. 

794
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,700
Look at the facts or rather. 
Look at how they might appear to

795
00:41:35,700 --> 00:41:37,100
one of those unsympathetic. 
The least. 

796
00:41:37,100 --> 00:41:39,500
I really think you're getting 
yourself needlessly. 

797
00:41:39,500 --> 00:41:41,700
Worked up. 
Just imagine how they see me. 

798
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,100
And since living in London. 
I found my expenses, increase 

799
00:41:45,100 --> 00:41:46,600
with my opportunities for 
spending. 

800
00:41:47,500 --> 00:41:50,700
No, I'm not a present in debt. 
I've been eager for some time to

801
00:41:50,700 --> 00:41:53,200
live on a different scale. 
We all know that stosh. 

802
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:54,900
You're just not the kind of 
character. 

803
00:41:54,900 --> 00:41:59,700
We may know Uncle, we may know, 
but they don't so much for 

804
00:41:59,700 --> 00:42:04,900
motive now opportunity. 
Supposing. 

805
00:42:04,900 --> 00:42:07,300
I had managed to obtain some 
oxalic acid crystals. 

806
00:42:07,500 --> 00:42:10,400
There's not much difficulty in 
that, and when I came down this 

807
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,900
weekend, I brought them with me 
just in case I had the 

808
00:42:12,900 --> 00:42:17,200
opportunity of using them. 
And then, on the evening of my 

809
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:20,300
arrival, a magnificent 
opportunity was presented to me,

810
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,000
magnificent opportunity. 
What do you mean? 

811
00:42:24,100 --> 00:42:26,900
When I went to The Bureau for 
the investment book, there was 

812
00:42:26,900 --> 00:42:28,600
the bottle containing Lista 
creative in. 

813
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,400
Use the bottle had already been 
opened. 

814
00:42:32,100 --> 00:42:34,800
I was easy to take out the 
stopper, or out a little of the 

815
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,400
preparation into an envelope 
since destroyed and substitute 

816
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,500
the poison. 
I had little difficulty the next

817
00:42:41,500 --> 00:42:44,600
morning in persuading my on to 
take the dose the risk of being 

818
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,700
discovered with slight as I 
could have MIT to handling the 

819
00:42:46,700 --> 00:42:50,300
bottle and Unlocking The Bureau.
I really Malcolm now. 

820
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:53,300
Let's look at the case against 
you. 

821
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,300
You'll admit won't you that it 
was greatly to your interest 

822
00:42:56,300 --> 00:42:57,600
that aren't Katherine should 
die. 

823
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:01,500
It's the last thing I wanted to 
die in such a horrible Vision, 

824
00:43:01,500 --> 00:43:04,800
hadn't died. 
Just then, as far as the police 

825
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:06,400
are concerned. 
You had plenty of motive. 

826
00:43:06,500 --> 00:43:09,500
I don't care a damn, about your 
aunt's Legacy to me. 

827
00:43:09,500 --> 00:43:12,700
The police might not credit that
you knew about Aunt Katherine's 

828
00:43:12,700 --> 00:43:16,000
purchase of the bottle. 
She told you over to self and 

829
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:17,800
you knew the bottle was in the 
Bureau of her bedroom. 

830
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:19,800
Am I right? 
Yes. 

831
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:23,000
You counted on my leaving the 
bureau key on the dressing table

832
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,100
in my room and decided to take 
it from there while I was 

833
00:43:25,100 --> 00:43:28,100
asleep. 
I made this unnecessary for you 

834
00:43:28,100 --> 00:43:30,900
by going down into the hole to 
fetch my Overcoat on an ashtray.

835
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,700
During this period, it was easy 
enough for you to slip into my 

836
00:43:34,700 --> 00:43:37,500
bedroom and take the key. 
I must say you have a very 

837
00:43:37,500 --> 00:43:40,700
fertile imagination. 
And what did I do? 

838
00:43:40,700 --> 00:43:43,900
Next, do tell me you went into 
the Boudoir soon as you were 

839
00:43:43,900 --> 00:43:46,300
sure. 
I was asleep, you put the boys 

840
00:43:46,300 --> 00:43:48,900
in in the bottle and then left 
it in a conspicuous position, on

841
00:43:48,900 --> 00:43:51,900
top of the blotter so that it 
should not be overlooked by Aunt

842
00:43:51,900 --> 00:43:55,000
Katherine or by myself. 
And what about the key? 

843
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,800
How did I get that back into 
your position, easy? 

844
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:00,400
You came into my room early, the
next morning. 

845
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,600
Remember to ask me about the 
time of my bath, and I thought 

846
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:06,100
that a bit odd. 
I expected days to concern 

847
00:44:06,100 --> 00:44:07,300
himself with something like 
that. 

848
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,200
You then drop the key when I 
wasn't looking onto the 

849
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,200
handkerchief or I distinctly 
remember, having left it the 

850
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:16,000
night before. 
Position of the handkerchief of 

851
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,100
goes was quite lucky for you. 
It means you could put down the 

852
00:44:19,100 --> 00:44:22,100
key without making any sound. 
You make me sound far, more 

853
00:44:22,100 --> 00:44:26,000
efficient and far cooler, a 
customer than I am in real life.

854
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,700
And then what you could drive to
be away from the house on 

855
00:44:29,700 --> 00:44:31,600
Saturday morning. 
So as to avoid being at hand 

856
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:35,800
during the administration of the
poison, yes, I seem to have been

857
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:37,500
very clever. 
Not at all. 

858
00:44:37,500 --> 00:44:41,100
The bungler that your aunt 
always accused me of being very 

859
00:44:41,100 --> 00:44:44,200
clever except for one important 
thing. 

860
00:44:44,900 --> 00:44:47,000
One important thing. 
And what was that? 

861
00:44:47,900 --> 00:44:51,500
Your fingerprints? 
You managed to destroy the 

862
00:44:51,500 --> 00:44:53,500
wrapper of the bottle, when he 
saw it, lying on the coffee 

863
00:44:53,500 --> 00:44:56,300
table, in the drawing-room where
I'd thrown it, but what you 

864
00:44:56,300 --> 00:44:58,100
don't know. 
And what you can't know, until 

865
00:44:58,100 --> 00:45:01,500
the police tell you, is whether 
you left any prints on the neck,

866
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:03,800
you make me look as guilty as 
hell. 

867
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,300
The way you tell me, the facts 
are pretty damaging, Uncle 

868
00:45:06,300 --> 00:45:08,900
Hannibal. 
Uncle Hannibal. 

869
00:45:08,900 --> 00:45:11,500
Please. 
Please tell me the truth. 

870
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:17,100
You are innocent, aren't you? 
It's hardly likely that I'd say 

871
00:45:17,100 --> 00:45:18,300
no. 
If I weren't. 

872
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:23,900
But as a matter of fact, I am. 
Don't you believe me? 

873
00:45:24,500 --> 00:45:26,200
Yes. 
Yes, I do. 

874
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:29,800
I do. 
I just can't imagine what? 

875
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:33,600
You're not the kind of person 
you must admit a lot of the 

876
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,100
evidence. 
It looks as though someone had 

877
00:45:36,100 --> 00:45:38,300
forged it. 
I mean to put the blame on you. 

878
00:45:38,700 --> 00:45:41,500
I see a good deals got to come 
out that I had preferred to have

879
00:45:41,500 --> 00:45:45,100
kept secret. 
I suppose there's a woman in it.

880
00:45:45,100 --> 00:45:46,900
Yeah. 
Yes. 

881
00:45:48,300 --> 00:45:50,700
You know, all about my marriage 
to Catherine. 

882
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:54,500
I suppose she was well 
infatuated with me and I though 

883
00:45:54,500 --> 00:45:56,200
I was never really in love with 
her. 

884
00:45:56,300 --> 00:45:59,300
Not really. 
Well, I thought she was fun to 

885
00:45:59,300 --> 00:46:02,800
be with and I wanted to settle 
down after being a rolling stone

886
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:08,800
for so many years and well seen 
that it all might work out but 

887
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:13,000
it didn't. 
It just didn't and them to cut a

888
00:46:13,008 --> 00:46:15,800
long story short. 
There was this house. 

889
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,800
Maid Jesse told her. 
You may remember her. 

890
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,400
No, I can't say I do she was a 
rather pretty little thing 

891
00:46:21,500 --> 00:46:26,300
silly, but but pretty but when 
you're on dismissed her the 

892
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,800
January before last there was 
nothing almost nothing between 

893
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:33,600
US. 
Just well human companionship. 

894
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:37,100
You know, she was lonely. 
I was lonely. 

895
00:46:38,700 --> 00:46:41,300
It's bloody embarrassing to have
to tell you all this Malcolm 

896
00:46:41,300 --> 00:46:42,100
how? 
There's no need to be 

897
00:46:42,100 --> 00:46:45,900
embarrassed Uncle well after her
dismissal. 

898
00:46:45,900 --> 00:46:48,700
She got a job with those 
business people who bought that 

899
00:46:48,700 --> 00:46:50,400
large house about the golf 
course. 

900
00:46:50,900 --> 00:46:53,900
One day, I saw her walking back 
to them from the station. 

901
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:57,200
Must have been her day off. 
I think on an Impulse. 

902
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,500
I I stopped and I gave her a 
lift in my side car. 

903
00:47:01,300 --> 00:47:04,500
I was sorry for the poor little 
thing as she talked about being 

904
00:47:04,500 --> 00:47:08,800
overworked and her mother being 
healed, and Well, the, the 

905
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:11,600
upshot was that I arranged to 
see her again. 

906
00:47:12,700 --> 00:47:16,300
And again until she became your 
mistress. 

907
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,600
Yes. 
We used to walk out on the 

908
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:24,600
links, but it couldn't happen 
more than six or or seven times 

909
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:29,100
and then suddenly she changed 
overnight as it were. 

910
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,900
She refused my lift talked a lot
about the danger of not keeping 

911
00:47:32,900 --> 00:47:36,400
to one station in life. 
I never saw her again. 

912
00:47:37,500 --> 00:47:41,900
It was four or five days later, 
but the first letter arrived 

913
00:47:42,100 --> 00:47:45,500
blackmail. 
Yes, from her brother name of 

914
00:47:45,500 --> 00:47:47,800
Alfred. 
He said, the Jesse was going to 

915
00:47:47,808 --> 00:47:51,500
have a baby and demanded 200 
pounds for nursing expenses and 

916
00:47:51,500 --> 00:47:54,200
compensation. 
I could hardly believe it. 

917
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,500
I've always been so careful. 
What was the address? 

918
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,200
Oh, a little tobacconists near 
the golf club. 

919
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:01,600
The old woman in charge of the 
place are the couldn't or 

920
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:05,000
wouldn't tell me anything. 
But I learned that this brother,

921
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,500
this is Alfred. 
He'd been a caddy at the golf 

922
00:48:07,500 --> 00:48:10,400
club until about three months 
before he'd been sacked before. 

923
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:12,100
Pinching something from 
someone's Locker. 

924
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:13,800
No one knew what had become of 
him. 

925
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:15,700
Since you didn't send him the 
money. 

926
00:48:15,700 --> 00:48:16,900
I hope? 
No no. 

927
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:20,000
I even wondered whether to go to
the police aren't Catherine, 

928
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:21,700
wouldn't have like that. 
That's what I thought. 

929
00:48:22,100 --> 00:48:25,800
So. 
I did nothing until about 10 

930
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:28,200
days later. 
Another letter came. 

931
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:31,000
And what did that say? 
I had exactly one week to pay 

932
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,000
up. 
Otherwise Catherine would be. 

933
00:48:33,300 --> 00:48:36,100
Old. 
It was two days after the 

934
00:48:36,100 --> 00:48:39,800
arrival of that letter. 
But both the letters vanished 

935
00:48:40,500 --> 00:48:41,800
vanished. 
Yes. 

936
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,500
From the attache case in which I
kept them locked up? 

937
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,700
Anyone could have forced the 
case open with a suitable key or

938
00:48:48,700 --> 00:48:52,100
with no key at all to think that
aren't Catherine. 

939
00:48:52,100 --> 00:48:54,600
That it was unlike her to do her
own dirty work. 

940
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:57,200
So I decided that probably days 
had done it for her. 

941
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:00,100
He'd suddenly become much more 
insulin than usual to me. 

942
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:04,200
Well, I searched Catherine's 
bedroom. 

943
00:49:04,500 --> 00:49:07,200
Drawers of her desk in the 
drawing room with no success at 

944
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:09,800
all. 
So, I decided that probably the 

945
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,100
letters were in the bureau, in 
the Boudoir. 

946
00:49:12,300 --> 00:49:14,700
And that means you did take the 
key from my room. 

947
00:49:14,700 --> 00:49:15,900
Yes. 
You were right about that. 

948
00:49:15,900 --> 00:49:18,900
Absolutely, right? 
I heard you make your way down 

949
00:49:18,900 --> 00:49:20,600
stairs. 
And at once I nipped in and 

950
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,200
found the key and shot at again.
And did you find the letters? 

951
00:49:23,500 --> 00:49:26,000
Yes, they would. 
In one of the pigeon holes of 

952
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:29,900
the desk. 
I remember seeing the bottle one

953
00:49:29,900 --> 00:49:33,200
could hardly help seeing the 
bloody thing, but I never did 

954
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:35,300
any more than just move. 
It a fraction out of my way. 

955
00:49:35,300 --> 00:49:37,700
When I was searching. 
I never opened it or tampered 

956
00:49:37,700 --> 00:49:40,200
with it at all. 
And the rapper, I never thought 

957
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,900
about the rapper. 
My fingers may have touched it 

958
00:49:42,900 --> 00:49:46,300
or, or they may have touched the
neck or they may have touched 

959
00:49:46,300 --> 00:49:48,500
both her. 
I honestly can't remember. 

960
00:49:48,500 --> 00:49:50,800
I put the wrap around the coffee
table in the drawing room. 

961
00:49:51,500 --> 00:49:53,000
It's disappeared. 
Did you? 

962
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,600
Well, if it was lying there, I 
was so days that I didn't take 

963
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:58,400
it in. 
You didn't remove it. 

964
00:49:59,100 --> 00:50:02,500
And the question is who did? 
I don't know Malcolm. 

965
00:50:02,700 --> 00:50:05,700
I just don't know who had the 
opportunity of taking it. 

966
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:12,000
Obviously, I had, but I didn't 
you had but unfortunately, or 

967
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:15,600
maybe fortunately you didn't. 
Who else? 

968
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,900
Any of the indoor staff? 
At first, it looks as if the 

969
00:50:19,900 --> 00:50:22,200
person who took the rapper must 
have been the murderer. 

970
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,700
I suppose that anyone who left 
prints on the rapper must have 

971
00:50:25,700 --> 00:50:29,100
left prints on the bureau. 
Yes, I should think so except of

972
00:50:29,100 --> 00:50:31,500
course, for the assistant of the
chemist and are Catherine 

973
00:50:31,500 --> 00:50:35,100
herself. 
So if as I imagined the murderer

974
00:50:35,100 --> 00:50:37,800
is somehow destroyed the wrapper
and the police will have at 

975
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:41,400
least three sets of prints on 
the bureau Yours Mine. 

976
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:45,500
And those of someone still 
unknown, with, no rapid rule, 

977
00:50:45,500 --> 00:50:47,200
any of them out by negative 
evidence. 

978
00:50:47,500 --> 00:50:50,600
Well, you've accounted for your 
prints and probably they 

979
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:54,200
believed you. 
Whereas I, I lied to them. 

980
00:50:54,300 --> 00:50:56,900
Well, you had a good reason for 
your lies and when they come 

981
00:50:56,900 --> 00:50:59,500
out, well they ought to weigh 
much against you Malcolm. 

982
00:50:59,900 --> 00:51:02,700
Do you think I should make a 
clean breast of the Jesse? 

983
00:51:02,900 --> 00:51:05,800
Right away. 
No better to wait until you've 

984
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:09,000
seen a solicitor. 
My own inclination is to suspect

985
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:12,000
days of having taken the rapper 
just as we're also pretty 

986
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,300
certain. 
He stole her letters. 

987
00:51:14,300 --> 00:51:16,800
But do we suspect him of having 
poisoned our Catherine? 

988
00:51:16,900 --> 00:51:21,100
I should like to so should I why
should he do it? 

989
00:51:21,100 --> 00:51:25,600
Does he get a legacy? 
Yes, but I happen to know that 

990
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,200
if Aunt Katherine had lived he 
would have got a far bigger one 

991
00:51:28,500 --> 00:51:33,100
and me much less. 
Yes, that looks bad. 

992
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,700
It would be one of life's little
ironies it days knew nothing 

993
00:51:36,700 --> 00:51:39,100
about the increased Legacy and 
killed on Catherine before she 

994
00:51:39,100 --> 00:51:42,600
had time to make it legal. 
But it seems more likely that he

995
00:51:42,608 --> 00:51:44,900
did know about it. 
Why do you think that? 

996
00:51:45,500 --> 00:51:48,100
Well, if he stole the letters 
for on Catherine, they were 

997
00:51:48,100 --> 00:51:50,600
obviously in League together and
she probably told him of her 

998
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:53,600
intention to cut you out of her 
will and reward him handsomely. 

999
00:51:55,100 --> 00:51:56,700
In which case, I can't for the 
life of me. 

1000
00:51:56,700 --> 00:51:59,700
See, why should murder her. 
But if he didn't murder her, 

1001
00:51:59,700 --> 00:52:01,900
then why do you suspect that? 
He took the rapper. 

1002
00:52:02,300 --> 00:52:05,200
Why should he want it? 
If he was innocent after all by 

1003
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:06,700
taking it. 
He probably put his own 

1004
00:52:06,700 --> 00:52:08,400
fingerprints on it. 
And that would be awkward for 

1005
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:09,900
him. 
If the police got hold of it. 

1006
00:52:10,100 --> 00:52:12,400
Is it possible that he'd been 
searching a Bureau for something

1007
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,800
else? 
And so touch the bottle, I can't

1008
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:16,700
imagine. 
What? 

1009
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:20,700
Oh, I don't know. 
I think that's as far as we can 

1010
00:52:20,700 --> 00:52:22,700
go tonight. 
Perhaps you should try and get 

1011
00:52:22,700 --> 00:52:28,200
some sleep. 
What did you hear something? 

1012
00:52:28,500 --> 00:52:32,200
No outside the door. 
Wait here. 

1013
00:52:33,700 --> 00:52:36,100
What Des what are you doing 
here? 

1014
00:52:36,300 --> 00:52:38,800
At CERN that voices, are I 
wanted? 

1015
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:39,800
Everything was. 
All right. 

1016
00:52:40,300 --> 00:52:42,000
So quite. 
All right. 

1017
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,700
Thank you days are. 
Well, in that case. 

1018
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:48,500
I'll go back to bed. 
Goodnight, mr. 

1019
00:52:48,500 --> 00:52:50,800
Cartwright. 
Good night. 

1020
00:52:52,500 --> 00:52:54,800
Uncle Hannibal. 
And I went to bed soon after, 

1021
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,000
but it was a long time before I 
slept. 

1022
00:52:58,300 --> 00:53:03,100
How much a des heard? 
Had he taken the letters and he 

1023
00:53:03,100 --> 00:53:07,400
also murdered on Catherine? 
If so, what was his motive? 

1024
00:53:09,500 --> 00:53:12,000
I finally fell asleep towards 
Dawn and it was after 10:00, 

1025
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:16,100
when Des came into my room. 
I thought it best to let you 

1026
00:53:16,100 --> 00:53:19,900
live as long as you wish to sir.
Should I draw the curtains? 

1027
00:53:19,900 --> 00:53:21,800
Or would you prefer? 
No? 

1028
00:53:23,100 --> 00:53:25,900
No, please draw them days. 
Hey, good, sir. 

1029
00:53:30,100 --> 00:53:40,400
That's fine. 
Unless he's had his breakfast. 

1030
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:46,900
What do you mean respected guy 
is called about half an hour 

1031
00:53:46,900 --> 00:53:48,200
ago, and they went away 
together. 

1032
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:50,800
The inspector asked me to ask 
you to call at the police 

1033
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:53,400
station at your convenience 
sometime this morning. 

1034
00:53:53,500 --> 00:53:55,000
Give me mr. 
Cartwright went away with the 

1035
00:53:55,008 --> 00:53:58,800
inspector, was he? 
Did he take any luggage? 

1036
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:01,800
Yes, they went to mr. 
Cartwright through and came down

1037
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:04,300
with a suitcase and set off in 
the inspectors car. 

1038
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:10,000
I see, right. 
Well, I'll have my bath now and 

1039
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:11,800
after that, but you bring up my 
breakfast for me. 

1040
00:54:12,300 --> 00:54:14,100
And then I'd like to be driven 
down to the police station. 

1041
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:17,800
Very good, sir. 
Good morning. 

1042
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:20,000
Mr. Walton. 
Good morning inspector. 

1043
00:54:20,100 --> 00:54:22,000
I hope. 
I haven't put you out by asking 

1044
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:24,000
you to come here. 
No, not at all. 

1045
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:25,900
Mr. Got light. 
Tell me that you've gone to bed 

1046
00:54:25,900 --> 00:54:27,500
very late. 
And so I thought you'd rather 

1047
00:54:27,500 --> 00:54:29,300
sleep on than have me disturb 
you. 

1048
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:31,900
That's very thoughtful of you is
mr. 

1049
00:54:31,900 --> 00:54:33,500
Carter. 
I'm afraid that mr. 

1050
00:54:33,500 --> 00:54:36,500
Cartwright is now under arrest 
under arrest. 

1051
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:39,500
I'm afraid. 
So but I didn't bring you all 

1052
00:54:39,500 --> 00:54:41,300
the way here. 
Just to tell you that though. 

1053
00:54:41,300 --> 00:54:43,800
What I wanted to say is that 
you're now at Liberty to go 

1054
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:45,900
anywhere. 
You wish provided that you leave

1055
00:54:45,900 --> 00:54:48,800
a note of your whereabouts. 
Me and provided also that you 

1056
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:51,700
attend the inquest on mrs. 
Cartwright at 2:00 tomorrow 

1057
00:54:51,700 --> 00:54:54,300
afternoon. 
Am I to take it then that you no

1058
00:54:54,300 --> 00:54:58,400
longer suspect me. 
Isn't that rather like, asking 

1059
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:00,200
me whether I've stopped beating 
my wife, sir? 

1060
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:03,300
Well, I was a suspect, wasn't I 
now? 

1061
00:55:03,300 --> 00:55:05,000
You must remember? 
Mr. Wallen that the police 

1062
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,800
always examine a case of this 
nature from the side effects, 

1063
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:11,100
not persons the first facts. 
We stroke. 

1064
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:14,900
Well, yes, they did seem to 
involve you after all, you were 

1065
00:55:14,900 --> 00:55:16,300
the only person present when 
mrs. 

1066
00:55:16,300 --> 00:55:19,700
Cartwright. 
Follow that fatal dose, but now 

1067
00:55:20,100 --> 00:55:23,400
well, I may say that now, the 
facts don't point to you at all.

1068
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,300
I'm very relieved to hear that, 
but of course, we're always on 

1069
00:55:27,300 --> 00:55:29,800
the lookout for new facts. 
We're never above owning up to a

1070
00:55:29,808 --> 00:55:32,600
mistake. 
I can't say where they may lead.

1071
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:36,400
But for the present your well, 
outside the picture, can I see? 

1072
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:39,000
Mr. Cartwright? 
I don't see why not. 

1073
00:55:39,900 --> 00:55:41,200
Yeah. 
I'll get somebody to take you 

1074
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:45,000
down. 
Hello, Malcolm. 

1075
00:55:45,100 --> 00:55:47,100
How good of you to come? 
Hello Uncle. 

1076
00:55:48,500 --> 00:55:50,800
As soon as I get out of here, 
I'm going to telephone to my 

1077
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:52,800
mother solicitors to send 
someone down. 

1078
00:55:53,500 --> 00:55:55,500
I didn't really think we want. 
Uncle Terrence handling your 

1079
00:55:55,500 --> 00:55:57,300
defense. 
Oh, God forbid. 

1080
00:55:57,300 --> 00:55:59,300
Oh, I'm sure we'll be able to 
straighten things out in no time

1081
00:55:59,300 --> 00:56:02,400
at all. 
I hope you're not worrying too 

1082
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:04,400
much. 
Well, it's damn hard not to 

1083
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:06,300
worry. 
You probably like something to 

1084
00:56:06,300 --> 00:56:10,500
read and about cigarettes have 
enough of those for the present 

1085
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,800
but Malcolm, I don't want to 
drag you or anyone else into 

1086
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:15,800
this mess. 
If you that have been Dragged 

1087
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:18,200
In, they haven't turned you out 
of the house. 

1088
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:20,900
Oh heavens. 
No, but your rooms been locked 

1089
00:56:20,900 --> 00:56:23,700
up and I wanted to go and see if
it contained all. 

1090
00:56:24,900 --> 00:56:27,500
All that, it contained last 
night, but I couldn't get in. 

1091
00:56:28,500 --> 00:56:30,200
I suppose if there was something
you really needed. 

1092
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:31,500
They'd let me and under escort 
Miss. 

1093
00:56:31,500 --> 00:56:33,400
Perhaps I'd rather you didn't 
shovel. 

1094
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:35,600
I feel I don't want to see the 
place again and I'm sure you 

1095
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:39,200
don't either, by the way. 
Yes. 

1096
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:43,100
Have you heard anything more 
from the Vicar's wife, Mariah 

1097
00:56:43,100 --> 00:56:45,600
whole, why on Earth? 
Should I? 

1098
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:47,800
I've been a little puzzled by 
that telephone call. 

1099
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,700
When did she telephone? 
Don't you remember? 

1100
00:56:51,500 --> 00:56:53,700
You can't have forgotten the 
night. 

1101
00:56:53,700 --> 00:56:56,800
I arrived on Friday just as we 
were going up to bed. 

1102
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:58,600
Oh, yes. 
Yes, of course. 

1103
00:56:58,700 --> 00:57:01,300
No, that was nothing important. 
Just to ask how your arms was 

1104
00:57:01,300 --> 00:57:04,000
getting on. 
But why don't you want to know 

1105
00:57:04,500 --> 00:57:08,000
as late as that? 
It's been puzzling, knives and 

1106
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:10,200
idea. 
Was there any reason for her to 

1107
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:12,600
suspect that aren't Catherine 
might not be well known. 

1108
00:57:13,900 --> 00:57:17,500
But as I think I told you she'd 
been to T the day before and 

1109
00:57:17,500 --> 00:57:20,000
where I suppose she might have. 
Thought your answer was not 

1110
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:22,900
looking entirely herself, but 
aren't Catherine was quite well 

1111
00:57:22,900 --> 00:57:26,700
on the Thursday wasn't yes as 
far as one could judge. 

1112
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:29,100
But there's no accounting for 
the ideas that get into their 

1113
00:57:29,100 --> 00:57:32,600
heads of these old women. 
Mariah has known to be a faster 

1114
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:34,800
and a busybody. 
I don't think I've met. 

1115
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:40,500
Well, you haven't missed 
anything very well officer. 

1116
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,200
Sorry, Uncle Hannibal. 
It seems to be that. 

1117
00:57:44,300 --> 00:57:47,100
Anyway, it's been a comfort to 
have this little chat with you 

1118
00:57:47,500 --> 00:57:50,600
try and take things calmly. 
Everything that we can do will 

1119
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:52,700
be done. 
Oh and we'll get you out of here

1120
00:57:52,700 --> 00:57:56,000
in no time at all. 
I hope to God you're right. 

1121
00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:59,100
As I was a sculptured away from 
the cell. 

1122
00:57:59,300 --> 00:58:01,200
I was still thinking about 
Mariah Hall. 

1123
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:06,100
Why did you telephone? 
And I did in fact being heard 

1124
00:58:06,100 --> 00:58:10,500
called The Bell had rung and my 
uncle had spoken. 

1125
00:58:11,500 --> 00:58:13,900
I had not been in a position to 
hear the voice of the other end.

1126
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:19,600
When Hannibal had sworn his 
innocence to me, he had gotten 

1127
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:23,500
those why at once convinced me, 
but when he had said refusing to

1128
00:58:23,500 --> 00:58:25,700
meet my gaze that yes, of 
course, he remembered a call 

1129
00:58:25,700 --> 00:58:27,700
from her. 
I'll haul somehow. 

1130
00:58:27,700 --> 00:58:31,700
I knew that he was lying. 
I was filled with a sudden 

1131
00:58:31,700 --> 00:58:34,700
excitement. 
Clearly, he had a clue in which 

1132
00:58:34,700 --> 00:58:38,500
I did not share. 
Des was waiting for me by the 

1133
00:58:38,500 --> 00:58:42,100
car. 
And how was mr. 

1134
00:58:42,100 --> 00:58:45,100
Cartwright, as well as could be 
expected in the circumstances. 

1135
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:49,900
It's all very odd, isn't it? 
I've never thought inspected. 

1136
00:58:49,900 --> 00:58:51,400
Just had me in there for 
questioning again. 

1137
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:54,300
When now, yes, I'll be done with
you sir. 

1138
00:58:54,500 --> 00:58:57,700
What did he want to know? 
What are the new really that's 

1139
00:58:57,700 --> 00:59:01,100
going over the same old ground. 
What about my driving the 

1140
00:59:01,100 --> 00:59:02,900
mistress down to the chemists on
Friday? 

1141
00:59:02,900 --> 00:59:05,900
And for that I could be 
absolutely 100% certain that you

1142
00:59:05,900 --> 00:59:07,500
came out with a parcel. 
You said? 

1143
00:59:07,500 --> 00:59:11,200
Yes, yes. 
Are so aware the possum there. 

1144
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:14,200
What was in the parcel world is 
all wrapped up, you see? 

1145
00:59:15,500 --> 00:59:17,400
Then the inspector asked me 
again, about the quarrels 

1146
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:22,300
between the master and mistress.
Is it, is it home now, sir? 

1147
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:27,700
Yes. 
No, no, hang on a moment. 

1148
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:32,200
Is there a public librarian May 
Spring Public Library? 

1149
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:35,200
Well, no, sir. 
Well, where would be the nearest

1150
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:37,700
in Rothbury sir? 
Well, let's go to Rothbury. 

1151
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:42,300
Well, it's nearly 1:00, sir. 
Well, I was thinking about your 

1152
00:59:42,300 --> 00:59:44,000
luncheon sir. 
That'll have to wait. 

1153
00:59:44,900 --> 00:59:49,500
Very good, sir. 
Even when I've been talking to 

1154
00:59:49,500 --> 00:59:52,500
days it had suddenly come to me 
that Hannibal must be shielding 

1155
00:59:52,500 --> 00:59:55,900
someone and I thought I had a 
pretty good idea who that 

1156
00:59:55,900 --> 00:59:59,200
someone was. 
But first, I had to do a little 

1157
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:01,200
research in the public library 
of Rothbury. 

1158
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,500
I wonder if you could, would you
be so good as to lower your 

1159
01:00:05,500 --> 01:00:07,300
voice. 
This is a reading room. 

1160
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:11,300
I'm sorry. 
I wonder if you could show me 

1161
01:00:11,300 --> 01:00:14,000
where the medical reference 
section is something. 

1162
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:17,200
I want to look up over there in 
the far left-hand Corner second 

1163
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:19,500
and third shelves. 
It's quite clearly marked. 

1164
01:00:19,900 --> 01:00:23,100
Thank you. 
I found the shelves and ran my 

1165
01:00:23,100 --> 01:00:24,400
eyes along them until I found 
the book. 

1166
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:28,700
I wanted here. 
We are forensic medicine. 

1167
01:00:32,100 --> 01:00:34,600
Let's see. 
Hmm. 

1168
01:00:36,100 --> 01:00:41,800
Oh Alex, oxalic acid. 
One of the oldest known organic 

1169
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:46,100
acids. 
Exotic acid is very poisonous. 

1170
01:00:46,100 --> 01:00:48,800
And by reason of its great 
similarity in appearance to 

1171
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:50,800
Epsom salt. 
It's been very frequently 

1172
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:53,000
mistaken for this substance with
in many cases. 

1173
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:58,000
Fatal results. 
Here we are. 

1174
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:04,900
It is frequently used as a 
photographic developer. and in 

1175
01:01:04,900 --> 01:01:09,000
leatherwork, What I discovered 
there took me straight round to 

1176
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:12,500
aren't hands and straight into 
some advice from Uncle Terrence.

1177
01:01:12,900 --> 01:01:14,500
Frankly. 
Malcolm without of course 

1178
01:01:14,500 --> 01:01:16,700
wishing in any way to criticize 
your motives. 

1179
01:01:17,300 --> 01:01:20,100
I must say, I think you've taken
up rather a misguided attitude 

1180
01:01:20,100 --> 01:01:21,900
in this affair. 
Misguided. 

1181
01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:23,700
How do you mean Uncle turns it 
was? 

1182
01:01:23,700 --> 01:01:26,000
I have no doubt a generous 
motive that led you to LEAP to 

1183
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:29,400
Cartwright's defense visiting 
him this morning and getting 

1184
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:32,900
Malloy on so forth. 
But I may tell you speaking as a

1185
01:01:32,900 --> 01:01:36,200
lawyer myself, the case seems to
me to be conclusive. 

1186
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:39,800
You deserve conclusive. 
I really can't agree with you. 

1187
01:01:40,100 --> 01:01:42,200
I daresay you're unaware. 
That one little piece of 

1188
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:44,100
evidence. 
Either to wanting has now been 

1189
01:01:44,100 --> 01:01:47,100
supplied, what piece of evidence
Hannibal's, fingerprints have 

1190
01:01:47,100 --> 01:01:50,400
been found on your ants Bureau 
and on the neck of the bottle 

1191
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:52,100
from which she drank the Fatal 
poison. 

1192
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:55,500
There's a reason for that. 
A reason that has nothing to do 

1193
01:01:55,500 --> 01:01:58,000
with murder. 
He went to the bureau and may 

1194
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:00,600
have touched the bottle while he
is. 

1195
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:03,400
For the moment. 
I'd rather not say anything 

1196
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:05,900
further without Uncle Hannibal 
permission. 

1197
01:02:06,300 --> 01:02:09,000
It strikes me as rather odd 
Malcolm that you should prefer 

1198
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:12,500
to take sides with this this 
Intruder against your own flesh 

1199
01:02:12,500 --> 01:02:14,800
and blood. 
I'm sure your mother would agree

1200
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:18,400
with me. 
You realize don't you that when 

1201
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:20,900
the sentence is eventually 
pronounced, you'll be seen in a 

1202
01:02:20,900 --> 01:02:23,400
very ugly Light. 
If you persist it, aiding 

1203
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:25,700
Hannibal's defense, I happen to 
believe that. 

1204
01:02:25,700 --> 01:02:28,800
Uncle Hannibal is innocent a 
somewhat eccentric, belief. 

1205
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:31,900
Well, look at the facts there by
just look at them. 

1206
01:02:32,700 --> 01:02:35,800
Let me give you some idea of how
Tomatoes inquest will go. 

1207
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:38,600
First. 
You will be called and fully 

1208
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:42,000
examined as to your story from 
some little hints that have been

1209
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:43,600
dropped. 
I gather that your evidence to 

1210
01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:46,300
the police is by no means 
entirely favorable to Hannibal. 

1211
01:02:46,500 --> 01:02:48,600
Mixed. 
The two doctors will give their 

1212
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:53,100
testimony death by poisoning, 
oxalic acid, the family. 

1213
01:02:53,100 --> 01:02:55,400
And perhaps this will give 
evidence of Catherine state of 

1214
01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:57,300
mind. 
So making suicide, most 

1215
01:02:57,300 --> 01:03:00,700
unlikely, the shop assistant 
will next testify to the 

1216
01:03:00,700 --> 01:03:03,700
purchase of the bottle on Friday
and the inspector and the 

1217
01:03:03,700 --> 01:03:07,300
fingerprint men will say how 
they found Hannibal's prints on 

1218
01:03:07,300 --> 01:03:11,300
the bureau inside the bureau on 
the blotter and on the neck of 

1219
01:03:11,300 --> 01:03:14,200
the bottle. 
They may also call Smoke to 

1220
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:15,900
prove that he had instructions 
to alter her. 

1221
01:03:15,900 --> 01:03:18,900
Will thus supplying Hannibal 
with his motive? 

1222
01:03:20,100 --> 01:03:21,600
Now, what is your reply to all 
that? 

1223
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:27,900
Uncle Terrence, may. 
I please speak to Aunt Ann alone

1224
01:03:28,100 --> 01:03:29,700
as soon as possible? 
She's lying down. 

1225
01:03:30,300 --> 01:03:32,300
Well then may I go up to her, 
won't it? 

1226
01:03:32,300 --> 01:03:34,200
Wait. 
I hardly think she'd welcome an 

1227
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:36,800
intrusion. 
She has a migraine. 

1228
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:40,100
I'd prefer to speak to her at 
once, too. 

1229
01:03:41,300 --> 01:03:47,000
To get it over. 
Malcolm, I heard that you were 

1230
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:48,500
here. 
I was just coming down to ask 

1231
01:03:48,500 --> 01:03:51,400
you for news of Hannibal. 
I feel so desperately worried 

1232
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:53,400
about him. 
You don't think? 

1233
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:56,000
I think I mean it is 
inconceivable. 

1234
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:58,200
Is it? 
I just don't believe that 

1235
01:03:58,200 --> 01:03:58,700
neither. 
Do. 

1236
01:03:58,700 --> 01:04:01,700
I Aunt an uncle? 
Hannibal is shielding? 

1237
01:04:01,700 --> 01:04:04,700
Someone, shielding someone, I'm 
sure of it. 

1238
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:08,500
Someone else's fingerprints are 
on the wrapper of that bottle. 

1239
01:04:09,300 --> 01:04:11,900
Uncle Hannah boat took the 
rapper, probably destroyed it. 

1240
01:04:12,700 --> 01:04:15,600
And without that wrapper. 
Well all the rest of the 

1241
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:18,900
evidence points to him. 
Except that. 

1242
01:04:19,500 --> 01:04:22,300
Yes. 
Tell me on Jen. 

1243
01:04:23,500 --> 01:04:25,800
Do you use much of salic acid 
for your book binding? 

1244
01:04:29,900 --> 01:04:34,500
So you've guessed. 
Yes, I've guessed and I've 

1245
01:04:34,500 --> 01:04:38,000
guessed right. 
Haven't I how did you possibly? 

1246
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:41,700
Well as I said, I realized that 
if Uncle Hannibal were innocent 

1247
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:44,900
as I was certain he was then 
obviously he was shielding 

1248
01:04:44,900 --> 01:04:47,300
someone. 
And it seemed to me that the 

1249
01:04:47,300 --> 01:04:50,600
most likely person for him to 
wish to shield with me. 

1250
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:54,400
Yes. 
You've been having an affair, 

1251
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:56,200
haven't you do? 
I have to answer that? 

1252
01:04:56,600 --> 01:05:00,400
Well, it's not really necessary.
I think I knew from the first 

1253
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:02,700
moment that I saw the two of you
together on the morning of Aunt,

1254
01:05:02,700 --> 01:05:06,400
Katherine's death. 
And then after Uncle, Hannibal 

1255
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:09,800
had left us both together, but 
there was something about the 

1256
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:13,600
way that you spoke about. 
Yes, Malcolm, you're right. 

1257
01:05:14,900 --> 01:05:19,500
We became lovers. 
About five months ago and you 

1258
01:05:19,500 --> 01:05:21,800
killed on Catherine so that he 
could be free and have some 

1259
01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:23,200
money of his own. 
Oh no. 

1260
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:28,200
Because of all Gaston, James, I 
was desperate about them. 

1261
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:29,700
You mean James his financial 
troubles. 

1262
01:05:29,700 --> 01:05:32,400
Yes. 
I had to lay hands on 300,000 

1263
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:34,400
francs. 
If he wasn't to go to jail to 

1264
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:36,400
jail. 
I had no idea. 

1265
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:38,000
It was as bad as that. 
Yes. 

1266
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:40,400
He has committed some kind of 
fraud. 

1267
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:43,800
Oh, I'm sure it no idea what he 
was doing, poor boy. 

1268
01:05:43,900 --> 01:05:46,300
You know how thickness he is. 
And Uncle Terrence refused to 

1269
01:05:46,300 --> 01:05:48,600
help. 
I don't have to tell you how he 

1270
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:51,800
disapproved of the marriage and 
their decision to live out of 

1271
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:54,800
England. 
I'm James never made any secret 

1272
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:57,500
of finding poor. 
Oh Terrance, pompous and City. 

1273
01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:01,700
So when I approached Terrence, 
well Augusta was too terrified 

1274
01:06:01,700 --> 01:06:05,100
to do so herself. 
His only reaction was to tell me

1275
01:06:05,100 --> 01:06:07,400
to let James do in his own 
juice. 

1276
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:09,200
So you then approached on 
Catherine? 

1277
01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:12,200
Yes. 
As, you know, I have no money of

1278
01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:16,400
my own but though she was full 
of advice, most of it highly 

1279
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:19,000
critical of James. 
She wouldn't lift a finger 

1280
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:20,600
either. 
It was good. 

1281
01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:24,800
She said for that young man to 
learn a list, 300,000 francs. 

1282
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:29,200
Let me see it. 
It's about 2,500 pounds is 

1283
01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:30,200
naked. 
Oh God. 

1284
01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:33,300
How mean of her? 
She must have about a hundred 

1285
01:06:33,300 --> 01:06:34,600
times. 
That some in the bank. 

1286
01:06:34,700 --> 01:06:37,700
I couldn't have poor August 
exposed to that kind of Scandal.

1287
01:06:37,700 --> 01:06:39,800
Particularly at a time when she 
was pregnant. 

1288
01:06:40,900 --> 01:06:44,100
James was given four weeks in 
which to raise the cash. 

1289
01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:47,100
When did you decide that murder 
was the only way out? 

1290
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:51,900
On Thursday the day before it 
happened. 

1291
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:56,700
I'd been to tea with Katherine, 
Mariah Hall. 

1292
01:06:56,700 --> 01:07:01,800
Was there after Mariah left eye.
Again, beg for a loan, Catherine

1293
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:05,100
was adamant. 
I'm sick and tired of beggar's. 

1294
01:07:05,100 --> 01:07:09,400
She said. 
When she said that, I know I 

1295
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:12,100
wasted far too much money on 
seeing doctors about imaginary 

1296
01:07:12,100 --> 01:07:16,200
ailments and advised me to take 
this, tonic this new tonic that 

1297
01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:17,700
have been doing such wonders for
her. 

1298
01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:20,300
You mean she already had a 
bottle on the Thursday? 

1299
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:23,300
Yes. 
She told me to take a look at it

1300
01:07:23,300 --> 01:07:26,000
in the bureau and and then 
promised to buy me a bottle the 

1301
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:28,700
following day. 
That was the bottle. 

1302
01:07:28,700 --> 01:07:31,700
She got from the chemists here. 
The other bottle had come from 

1303
01:07:31,700 --> 01:07:34,100
London and you put the Exotic 
acid in the bottle on the 

1304
01:07:34,100 --> 01:07:35,700
Friday. 
Yes. 

1305
01:07:36,900 --> 01:07:39,800
I went to see Katherine again, 
and asked if I could have a dose

1306
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:42,700
of this mixture to try, she was 
in bed. 

1307
01:07:43,300 --> 01:07:45,700
I said, I put some of the 
crystals in an envelope and take

1308
01:07:45,700 --> 01:07:48,800
them home with me. 
She gave me the key to the 

1309
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:55,600
bureau and Up to that room. 
It was all plain sailing, you'd 

1310
01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:57,600
brought the oxalic acid crystals
with you. 

1311
01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:00,900
That's right. 
I emptied out some of the 

1312
01:08:00,900 --> 01:08:04,200
crystals in the bottle and then 
I replaced them with those that 

1313
01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:07,200
I brought and yours was the 
telephone call That was supposed

1314
01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:10,000
to have come from the vicarage 
from Mariah Hall. 

1315
01:08:10,100 --> 01:08:13,100
Yes, by Friday night. 
I expected to hear news of 

1316
01:08:13,100 --> 01:08:16,200
Katherine's. 
Death when no word came II 

1317
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:17,899
couldn't resist bringing up the 
house. 

1318
01:08:18,500 --> 01:08:20,300
Animal must have removed the 
other bottle. 

1319
01:08:20,399 --> 01:08:23,300
The one on Catherine bought for 
you on Friday from the chemist 

1320
01:08:23,300 --> 01:08:24,800
in the village. 
Yes. 

1321
01:08:25,399 --> 01:08:29,800
And that gave me an alibi. 
The police assumed that bottle 

1322
01:08:30,100 --> 01:08:32,399
the second bottle was the one in
which the poison had been 

1323
01:08:32,399 --> 01:08:35,899
placed. 
And of course, I'd not been near

1324
01:08:35,899 --> 01:08:38,899
the house since its purchase and
Hannibal also destroyed the 

1325
01:08:38,899 --> 01:08:45,899
wrapper with your prints on it. 
So, he knew this he knew he must

1326
01:08:45,899 --> 01:08:49,600
have known Master guests. 
And he decided to take the 

1327
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:53,399
blame. 
But I can't let him. 

1328
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:56,899
I can't let him it's so so brave
of him. 

1329
01:08:56,899 --> 01:09:00,600
So unselfish, but I can't I 
can't let him do it. 

1330
01:09:01,700 --> 01:09:03,399
Do you want to come to the 
inspector with me? 

1331
01:09:03,399 --> 01:09:08,800
I've not slept a wink since I 
realized that he Was now they 

1332
01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:11,200
say they've actually arrested 
him and everything looks so 

1333
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:15,000
black. 
I've written out a confession. 

1334
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:17,000
How come? 
It's here in my desk. 

1335
01:09:17,300 --> 01:09:18,800
I've written it all out. 
Everything. 

1336
01:09:18,800 --> 01:09:20,800
I've told you and I've signed 
it. 

1337
01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:24,300
I can't allow Hannibal to do 
this for my sake of it. 

1338
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:31,100
It's such a such a fine man. 
And you were clever enough to 

1339
01:09:31,100 --> 01:09:35,399
see that. 
Where is Terrence and bulb 

1340
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:38,200
without that, silly snobbery and
Prejudice? 

1341
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:42,100
Here, let me give it to you. 
It's here in the bureau. 

1342
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:44,700
It's just here. 
I'm town. 

1343
01:09:45,800 --> 01:09:47,399
Don't do that. 
Don't. 

1344
01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:58,300
At the inquest on aren't and a 
few days later, Uncle Terrence 

1345
01:09:58,300 --> 01:10:00,500
had to go into the witness box 
and give evidence about his 

1346
01:10:00,500 --> 01:10:02,400
son-in-law James, his business 
affairs. 

1347
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:08,800
It was all very painful. 
Mr. Carville was the deceased, 

1348
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:11,600
your wife, right in thinking 
that you intended to turn your 

1349
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:14,500
daughter, a drift. 
If your son-in-law fail to 

1350
01:10:14,500 --> 01:10:17,900
extricate himself from his 
financial difficulties. 

1351
01:10:17,900 --> 01:10:21,100
Oh, no, good God. 
No, but you had sharing yourself

1352
01:10:21,100 --> 01:10:23,100
unsympathetic to your daughter 
trouble. 

1353
01:10:23,500 --> 01:10:26,200
I'm afraid, I must have done. 
I had no sympathy with my 

1354
01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:29,600
daughter's husband. 
If she left him, of course, if 

1355
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:31,200
she'd been thrown on her own 
resources. 

1356
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:37,500
Well, then I might have stepped 
in but I forgive me. 

1357
01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:42,200
At this point Uncle Terrence 
broke down and his pale green 

1358
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:44,700
eyes filled with tears like 
glass beads. 

1359
01:10:45,700 --> 01:10:49,400
I must say I couldn't feel much 
sympathy for him in a very real 

1360
01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:50,800
sense. 
He was the villain of the piece.

1361
01:10:52,700 --> 01:10:55,600
As for Hannibal, a touch-and-go 
that the police didn't charge 

1362
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:58,500
him with complicity, but he 
never admitted to them that he 

1363
01:10:58,508 --> 01:11:00,800
had destroyed both the second 
bottle and the wrapper on the 

1364
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:03,400
first and they lack the 
necessary evidence. 

1365
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:07,300
I suppose that if they'd known 
that he'd been aren't hands 

1366
01:11:07,300 --> 01:11:09,100
lover things might have gone 
worse for him. 

1367
01:11:10,400 --> 01:11:13,200
As it was, he had to explain how
his fingerprints are got on the 

1368
01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:14,900
bureau and the neck of the 
bottle. 

1369
01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:18,000
And so the whole story of Jesse 
and a blackmail attempt came 

1370
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:22,200
out, you know, I always had a 
hunch that those letters that 

1371
01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:24,600
were supposed to come from. 
Jessie's brother were really 

1372
01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:27,600
from Des, they had a double 
purpose. 

1373
01:11:28,100 --> 01:11:31,000
They were intended to extract 
money from me and of the same 

1374
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:33,300
time to make trouble between me 
and Katherine. 

1375
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:35,800
I suppose you'll get a pretty 
stiff sentence. 

1376
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:39,600
So the inspector seems to think 
so, it's pretty Brazen to get a 

1377
01:11:39,608 --> 01:11:42,000
go with child and then to 
attempt to Blackmail someone 

1378
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:43,600
else for having been 
responsible. 

1379
01:11:43,700 --> 01:11:47,300
It's how outraged Catherine 
would be if she were alive and 

1380
01:11:47,300 --> 01:11:49,500
you the truth. 
She could forgive in the 

1381
01:11:49,500 --> 01:11:53,400
blackmail, I daresay but not an 
affair with Jesse under her nose

1382
01:11:53,500 --> 01:11:55,600
and all the time. 
She was convinced that he had 

1383
01:11:55,600 --> 01:11:58,600
eyes for no one but her, it's 
rather pathetic. 

1384
01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:01,000
When you come to think of it, 
Catherine was never pathetic, 

1385
01:12:01,100 --> 01:12:06,100
never for a moment. 
No, she certainly was Tell me, 

1386
01:12:06,100 --> 01:12:09,200
Uncle Hannibal. 
If on tanith, let you take the 

1387
01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:12,000
blame, would you? 
Well, could you have seen it 

1388
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:13,900
through? 
I don't know. 

1389
01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:18,500
I just don't know. 
I suppose I might have produced 

1390
01:12:18,500 --> 01:12:20,900
the wrapper and the bottle to 
get myself off the hook. 

1391
01:12:21,900 --> 01:12:25,100
I don't know, Malcolm. 
I love Dan very much. 

1392
01:12:25,700 --> 01:12:27,300
I think you'd have gone through 
with it. 

1393
01:12:27,900 --> 01:12:32,200
You're that kind of man. 
Well, at least August and James 

1394
01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:36,800
are safe and would like to know 
that a Terrence has lent, 

1395
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:39,100
Augustus. 
A Until her Legacy comes through

1396
01:12:39,100 --> 01:12:41,100
and that's bailed James out of 
his present. 

1397
01:12:41,100 --> 01:12:43,300
Miss Uncle Hannibal. 
Yes. 

1398
01:12:43,900 --> 01:12:45,900
What are you going to do with 
your money when it gets to you? 

1399
01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:48,700
Well, the first thing will be to
get away from this place and all

1400
01:12:48,700 --> 01:12:51,700
the gossip. 
I have a pal retired from the 

1401
01:12:51,700 --> 01:12:55,000
Navy out in Biarritz. 
We thought we might buy a garage

1402
01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:58,200
together. 
And what are you going to do 

1403
01:12:58,200 --> 01:13:00,500
with your money? 
Well, I've got this red. 

1404
01:13:00,500 --> 01:13:04,200
Hot tip Australian Minds. 
There's a packet to be made. 

1405
01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:07,400
Why don't you come in with me? 
No, Malcolm know. 

1406
01:13:08,500 --> 01:13:10,700
I'd always rather be safe than 
sorry. 

1407
01:13:13,300 --> 01:13:16,900
Well, I lost Mister then 
investment made much success of 

1408
01:13:16,900 --> 01:13:20,100
being my aunt's favorite, nephew
and I haven't made any success 

1409
01:13:20,100 --> 01:13:22,800
at all of my career as a broker 
so far. 

1410
01:13:24,300 --> 01:13:25,900
Perhaps I ought to be a 
detective. 

1411
01:13:26,900 --> 01:13:28,800
I might be rather more 
successful at that. 

1412

1416
01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:01,800
