1
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,200
So you're here at last. 
Didn't I tell you? 

2
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:33,800
It gets you one day. 
I swear, that day a rolled me 

3
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,500
over in the mud that I be even 
with you yet. 

4
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:42,100
Ha ha ha good Heavens. 
You 

5
00:00:59,300 --> 00:01:02,700
We present John Moffitt as 
Julian cared. 

6
00:01:03,100 --> 00:01:06,900
Jeremy Clyde is Rodney Fleming 
and Peter Salas as detective. 

7
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:12,100
Inspector Spears in death that 
broadcasting house by Val 

8
00:01:12,100 --> 00:01:23,600
gielgud and Holt Marvel Shall I 
must throw away my pistol and my

9
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:28,800
mask and say goodbye to the 
Scarlet, highwomen forever, q8a 

10
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:33,500
and fed up for closing music. 
If you love me my darling, more 

11
00:01:33,500 --> 00:01:37,400
than life itself. 
Darling. 

12
00:01:42,100 --> 00:01:50,500
Page 6, A and Q announcements. 
That was the Scarlet Highwayman 

13
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:55,000
by Rodney Fleming starring 
Leopold, Dryden as the Scarlet 

14
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,800
Highwayman Isabel Dryden as 
Camille penshurst with Stephen 

15
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,200
Drew. 
It has Captain George, many 

16
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,800
Sahara's along a bit. 
I will be off the air. 

17
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,500
It'll be heavily Dewhurst as 
Cynthia Harding Gregory has lit 

18
00:02:08,500 --> 00:02:11,600
and had on spragg as to Bow 
Street Runners and Sydney 

19
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:16,300
Parsons as the Jailer the 
Scarlet highwomen was produced 

20
00:02:16,300 --> 00:02:17,800
by Julian. 
Dad. 

21
00:02:20,700 --> 00:02:25,600
Red light off speakers off and 
that's it. 10:20 exactly. 

22
00:02:26,300 --> 00:02:28,200
We have overrun. 
If Dryden hadn't speeded up in 

23
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,400
that last scene, what? 
An evening he didn't do badly 

24
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,400
for first broadcast 
distinguished. 

25
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,500
As he may be in the theater, 
must have been nerve-racking for

26
00:02:35,500 --> 00:02:38,000
him and for the rest of us, one 
crisis. 

27
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,200
After another, if I didn't have 
the best sound and control man 

28
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,500
in the business, does that mean 
the drinks are on me? 

29
00:02:44,700 --> 00:02:47,600
No, I mean guy. 
And I couldn't rely on you. 

30
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,100
God knows what would happen. 
Sorry, I had to dash off and 

31
00:02:51,100 --> 00:02:54,200
check that return. 
Q light trusted to fail tonight 

32
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,400
of all nights. 
I code quite well on my own. 

33
00:02:56,900 --> 00:02:58,700
Did you miss Parsons finest hour
there? 

34
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,100
How did the Great death scene? 
Go considerably. 

35
00:03:01,100 --> 00:03:03,700
Better than did a rehearsal 
Parsons really got it. 

36
00:03:03,700 --> 00:03:07,000
This time he died like a good'n 
did exactly what you told him. 

37
00:03:07,500 --> 00:03:09,400
I think you can be pretty 
pleased with yourself. 

38
00:03:09,700 --> 00:03:13,300
Even if you have got an extra 
gray hair or to well as 

39
00:03:13,300 --> 00:03:15,800
presented, I have a word with a 
cast and haul, our beloved 

40
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,900
author, Of six Abe. 
And then, what do you say to 

41
00:03:18,900 --> 00:03:20,700
that? 
Drink, you look at if you need 

42
00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:24,000
one Julian, I've never seen you.
As jumpy as you were tonight, it

43
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,700
seems final play which took God.
Fleming had never written the 

44
00:03:27,700 --> 00:03:31,400
damn thing or persuaded me to 
produce it if you got that space

45
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:32,900
script. 
Yeah, thanks. 

46
00:03:34,100 --> 00:03:37,600
If it wasn't driving during his 
star turn elevens pushing his or

47
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,500
in, it was Fleming kicking up a 
fuss about that with his lines 

48
00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:42,300
were spoken. 
He certainly said, has a tough 

49
00:03:42,300 --> 00:03:44,400
job. 
I don't have ever used every 

50
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,200
studio in the sixth and seventh.
Or before and a table of music 

51
00:03:48,700 --> 00:03:51,400
and announcement. 
Yeah, I think he wanted to show 

52
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,500
me, he could Master the 
technique of broadcasting 

53
00:03:53,500 --> 00:03:56,400
without any trouble at all. 
Rodney, always was an arrogant 

54
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,300
devil. 
After this Triumph will be is 

55
00:03:58,308 --> 00:04:00,800
insufferable, is that why you 
hid him away in the six, a 

56
00:04:00,808 --> 00:04:03,200
Listening Room? 
I didn't want to be in here. 

57
00:04:03,500 --> 00:04:07,300
Actors are a curse, but authors 
are intolerable anyway. 

58
00:04:07,300 --> 00:04:09,200
He wanted to see some of the 
play going on. 

59
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,700
Most of the Big scenes were in 
6A. 

60
00:04:11,700 --> 00:04:13,300
So I thought it was the best 
place for him. 

61
00:04:13,700 --> 00:04:18,800
Well, away from me and he was 
That damned call 6A, listening 

62
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,300
rooms. 
The only one with the telephone.

63
00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:22,500
I think your next page will be 
written by an author who's been 

64
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:24,500
dead. 
At least a hundred years at 

65
00:04:24,500 --> 00:04:27,100
least. 
Well, if you go to make sure 

66
00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:30,100
there are no actors lingering in
the Studio's, I'll go and 

67
00:04:30,100 --> 00:04:34,400
congratulate dear Rodney. 
Add another layer to his ego. 

68
00:04:37,100 --> 00:04:39,300
Julian. 
What can I say? 

69
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,500
Thank you for a brilliant 
production. 

70
00:04:41,500 --> 00:04:43,800
Are you turn my faltering step 
is Rodney? 

71
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,000
No false modesty. 
Well, I couldn't have asked for 

72
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,100
it to be better done. 
I couldn't have done it if you 

73
00:04:48,100 --> 00:04:51,500
hadn't written it, Mutual 
compliments done with hope so 

74
00:04:52,700 --> 00:04:54,200
I'm sorry. 
I was stuck in here. 

75
00:04:54,300 --> 00:04:56,000
Miss seeing you play the 
dictator. 

76
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,000
I don't see myself as comrade 
Stalin. 

77
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,400
I was thinking of her Hitler 
actually ever the Marxist 

78
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,000
Rodney. 
Coming down with me. 

79
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,800
I want to see The Dryden. 
Well, absolutely. 

80
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,200
I thought there was frightfully 
good. 

81
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,700
And of course, Isabel as always 
was perfect. 

82
00:05:10,700 --> 00:05:12,900
I thought perhaps we could get 
them to come out to supper. 

83
00:05:13,500 --> 00:05:16,100
I'm just waiting for banished. 
Oh, you might congratulate him. 

84
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,300
He did marbles on the panel of 
course. 

85
00:05:18,300 --> 00:05:20,700
Oh, and thanks for fixing that 
telephone call for me. 

86
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,800
Julia. 
There's been an accident Parsons

87
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,500
in 7c. 
I think he's dead. 

88
00:05:29,300 --> 00:05:30,900
I came in to check the studio 
was empty. 

89
00:05:30,900 --> 00:05:35,100
And there he was he's probably 
just fainted not by the looks of

90
00:05:35,100 --> 00:05:37,000
him. 
God, it's close in here. 

91
00:05:37,100 --> 00:05:39,300
We'd better not touch him or 
anything else. 

92
00:05:39,900 --> 00:05:42,600
What do you mean? 
I think he's been strangled. 

93
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,200
I think it's murder. 
Good God. 

94
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,800
No wonder, he played the death 
scene, so well truly poor devil.

95
00:05:52,700 --> 00:05:54,000
But I better go until the 
general. 

96
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,900
What's happened? 
Meanwhile guy keep the sixth and

97
00:05:56,900 --> 00:05:59,500
seventh floors, clear, would you
I'll put someone on this door 

98
00:05:59,500 --> 00:06:01,900
that make sure nothing's 
Disturbed. 

99
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,400
God knows what the generals 
going to say. 

100
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,700
Come General. 
I'm sorry to bother you so that 

101
00:06:14,700 --> 00:06:19,300
all can come in just cashing 
Henry hole on top form tonight 

102
00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:22,500
and the audience sounds happy. 
I thought you should know at 

103
00:06:22,500 --> 00:06:24,900
once. 
Her, you're as white as a sheep 

104
00:06:24,900 --> 00:06:30,000
man, are you ill, there's been 
an accident in 7c accident. 

105
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:35,100
What sort of accent is one of 
one of my don't care. 

106
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,300
Tell me what happened. 
Oh, we could do without this 

107
00:06:38,300 --> 00:06:44,000
wretched noise sit. 
We just finished a play on the 

108
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000
national wavelength, so the 
Scarlet Highwayman. 

109
00:06:46,300 --> 00:06:49,200
Well, the pose in the cast was a
man called Sydney Parsons 

110
00:06:49,500 --> 00:06:51,900
Bannister found him in 70 at the
end of the show. 

111
00:06:52,100 --> 00:06:58,400
Yes, you sir carry on. 
He was dead dead. 

112
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,400
Are you sure? 
I know it sounds absurd but 

113
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,000
there's every reason to suppose 
he's been murdered murdered. 

114
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,100
This is fantastic. 
He killed what have you done? 

115
00:07:09,100 --> 00:07:11,900
I've put a studio attendant on 
the door of Seven Seas her 

116
00:07:11,900 --> 00:07:13,000
Higgins. 
A good, man. 

117
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,400
And I want my studio manager. 
McDonald's on my way down here, 

118
00:07:16,500 --> 00:07:19,900
but banisters up there. 
Now, Bannister guy, Bannister my

119
00:07:19,900 --> 00:07:22,700
balance and control ma'am. 
I told him to keep the sixth and

120
00:07:22,700 --> 00:07:25,600
seventh floors, clear, and ask 
McDonald's upon the police. 

121
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,000
You seem to have been pretty 
sensible. 

122
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,700
We'd better go up. 
I'll call it lift. 

123
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,300
Lift, we won't wait for the lift
Heavens bad if I can run up 

124
00:07:35,300 --> 00:07:39,000
seven, flights of stairs. 
So can you Yes, General, let's 

125
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,600
get on them. 
God knows what state of panic. 

126
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,200
The access will be in. 
Never can rely on actors in an 

127
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:50,700
emergency? 
This is an outbreak a my wife 

128
00:07:50,700 --> 00:07:53,400
and I to be kept here all night 
as if we were a couple of just 

129
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,800
reputable chorus girls without 
some relief, I insist upon some 

130
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,000
explanation McDonald near 
darling. 

131
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,700
I can I get you another cup of 
coffee. 

132
00:08:01,700 --> 00:08:04,400
You can get me a taxi. 
I repeat, none of us can leave 

133
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:05,900
for the moment. 
Is that the job of a studio 

134
00:08:05,900 --> 00:08:08,600
manager McDonald? 
I know I'm new to this Wireless 

135
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,100
game, but I didn't think you had
the power to keep me against my 

136
00:08:11,100 --> 00:08:12,300
will. 
I'm so sorry. 

137
00:08:12,300 --> 00:08:14,000
Leo isn't? 
Well, you don't have to 

138
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,300
apologize for me. 
I understand. 

139
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,500
Do you? 
I wish I Please sit down, 

140
00:08:18,500 --> 00:08:21,200
darling stop pacing around 
Rodney. 

141
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,400
Can't you do anything? 
You do look rather green Leo, 

142
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,900
shouldn't you sit down, huh? 
Well yes, perhaps I will it's 

143
00:08:27,900 --> 00:08:30,100
the Damned atmosphere in this 
place. 

144
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,400
I had to leave the studio during
play. 

145
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,400
Get some fresh air, but I will 
have some of that coffee 

146
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:37,799
McDonald. 
Of course. 

147
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,299
Mrs. Dryden. 
No no, thank you. 

148
00:08:41,308 --> 00:08:44,400
Ian Rodney. 
Can't you tell us what's going 

149
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:45,900
on? 
I'm sorry, Isabel. 

150
00:08:45,900 --> 00:08:47,300
I think we'll have to wait for 
care. 

151
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,600
Cared damned, unnecessary 
mystery. 

152
00:08:49,700 --> 00:08:51,200
I'll have something to say to 
cared. 

153
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:56,200
I promise you. 
A killing in Broadcasting House 

154
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,000
of all places. 
How was it? 

155
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,400
The thing wasn't discovered 
until the end of the play 

156
00:09:00,500 --> 00:09:04,500
Parsons was murdered in 
character during the play part 

157
00:09:04,500 --> 00:09:07,400
of the story. 
He was alone in 7c. 

158
00:09:07,500 --> 00:09:11,700
Come along cared only one more 
floor to go, don't stop. 

159
00:09:11,700 --> 00:09:17,100
Now, I was just thinking Do you 
realize that everyone who heard 

160
00:09:17,100 --> 00:09:20,000
that they must have heard him 
die, as it happened. 

161
00:09:20,500 --> 00:09:22,900
Makes it pretty unique in the 
annals of crime. 

162
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,200
We don't know yet. 
It is a crime. 

163
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,700
Don't jump to conclusions. 
Who's that? 

164
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,800
What no one was allowed to leave
the seventh floor. 

165
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,200
Higgins. 
What the blazes are you doing 

166
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:35,900
here? 
Sorry mr. 

167
00:09:35,900 --> 00:09:38,200
Cass, didn't I tell you it's 
just outside the door of seven. 

168
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,500
See, what's the meaning of this 
Higgins? 

169
00:09:41,500 --> 00:09:44,100
Is it why have you disobeyed 
orders part? 

170
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,600
No, did you go into 17? 
No, sir. 

171
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,800
Of course not. 
I'm sorry, I didn't know. 

172
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,900
It was important. 
I misunderstood your mr. 

173
00:09:51,900 --> 00:09:54,600
Kidd misunderstood must have 
understood. 

174
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,900
I was off duty at the end of the
play and I had an important 

175
00:09:56,900 --> 00:09:58,400
engagement. 
That's how it. 

176
00:09:58,400 --> 00:09:59,700
Well, I told you. 
You went to leave. 

177
00:09:59,700 --> 00:10:01,700
I told her I came back. 
Hopefully, sorry. 

178
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,500
Well, it can't be helped. 
Let's get. 

179
00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:06,100
Oh, just a minute sir. 
There's something else I want to

180
00:10:06,100 --> 00:10:07,700
ask Higgins. 
What's that? 

181
00:10:07,700 --> 00:10:09,500
Then you aren't you joining the 
play? 

182
00:10:09,500 --> 00:10:11,900
Won't you here? 
Sir, is this entirely relevant 

183
00:10:11,900 --> 00:10:14,000
to the matter in hand for the 
play started sir? 

184
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,000
I asked McDonald to put a man at
the North End of the corridor, 

185
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,300
on the 7th Floor, on the door, 
leading out of the tower. 

186
00:10:19,300 --> 00:10:22,100
Yes, yes, that does not watch 
you get people going through the

187
00:10:22,100 --> 00:10:24,700
tower card at all. 
Using it as a shortcut during 

188
00:10:24,700 --> 00:10:27,400
transmission didn't regret. 
I had to go down to 68 from the 

189
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,300
panel room during the 
transmission because one of the 

190
00:10:29,300 --> 00:10:32,300
returned queue lights failed. 
I went along the seventh floor 

191
00:10:32,300 --> 00:10:35,300
Corridor and Higgins wasn't on 
that door. 

192
00:10:35,300 --> 00:10:37,900
So where were you Higgins? 
I was on the door, all through 

193
00:10:37,900 --> 00:10:40,600
the transmission, damn it. 
I've got eyes in my head. 

194
00:10:40,700 --> 00:10:44,100
You've obviously been neglecting
your duties this evening, you 

195
00:10:44,300 --> 00:10:46,100
Find yourself in a very awkward 
position. 

196
00:10:46,300 --> 00:10:49,000
If you aren't completely Frank 
with us, I'm no liar. 

197
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,400
Where were you where you should 
have been on that door? 

198
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,000
Don't know what you mean, don't 
make things worse for yourself 

199
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:01,400
by lying. 
One of those girls who work in 

200
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,900
the basement, canteen go on. 
We've been sweet on each other 

201
00:11:04,900 --> 00:11:07,500
for quite a while but it wasn't 
coming to anything what with me 

202
00:11:07,500 --> 00:11:09,900
being married. 
So yesterday she writes me a 

203
00:11:09,908 --> 00:11:12,600
letter and gives me the check no
Bad Thing by the sound of it, I 

204
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,100
sent a note asking her to come 
up and meet me in one of the 

205
00:11:15,100 --> 00:11:17,800
offices on the 7th Floor. 
While the play was going on, I 

206
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,400
said to meet at 10:00 and that's
when I went to the office, damn 

207
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,400
fools are both but she didn't 
answer. 

208
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,300
It's nothing to do with Fe ice 
which he didn't come very proper

209
00:11:27,300 --> 00:11:31,000
of us, waited till 10:20. 
When the play ended, then I went

210
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,700
back to the door. 
I was there when mr. 

211
00:11:33,700 --> 00:11:35,400
Kerr did mr. 
Bannister came down from the 

212
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,400
panel room wasn't uh mr. 
Kerr was from the I hadn't left 

213
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:39,600
in the middle of the 
transmission. 

214
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:40,800
I'd never have known. 
He gone. 

215
00:11:41,100 --> 00:11:43,500
Yes. 
Well, we'll discuss your 

216
00:11:43,500 --> 00:11:45,300
outrageous conduct leader. 
Higgins. 

217
00:11:45,500 --> 00:11:49,200
Stay on the premises. 
I expect the police will what 

218
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,100
the world that you police have 
not done. 

219
00:11:51,100 --> 00:11:54,100
Nothing wrong. 
Not saying you have no time to 

220
00:11:54,100 --> 00:11:58,000
discuss it now cared. 
I'm going straight up the 7c, 

221
00:11:58,300 --> 00:12:01,100
I'll wait for the police there. 
There you go along and see what 

222
00:12:01,100 --> 00:12:04,700
the drive-ins are getting up to.
Don't want a riot on our hands. 

223
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,400
I won't stay here a minute 
longer. 

224
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,400
I'm afraid, you'll have to mr. 
Bottner it. 

225
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,700
Well, how dare you? 
Tell me what I have to do? 

226
00:12:12,700 --> 00:12:15,000
Rodney, I do wish. 
They'd let Leo go. 

227
00:12:15,100 --> 00:12:17,600
He's been so CD or even. 
He wasn't a bit himself with 

228
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,800
dinner. 
Sorry, Isabel side of my hands. 

229
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,900
But here comes your knight in 
tarnished armor, sorry to have 

230
00:12:22,900 --> 00:12:32,800
kept you all waiting like this, 
sit down to the fifth floor 

231
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,500
banisters, keeping an eye on the
nurse thinks McDonald. 

232
00:12:35,500 --> 00:12:38,400
I thought Best away, I demand an
explanation. 

233
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,000
You mustn't mind, Leo, Julian, 
but do let him go. 

234
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,600
Now, even if you want to keep 
me, I'm afraid he's going to be 

235
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:48,000
ill nonsense. 
Well, yes, but perhaps I will 

236
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,600
sit, how may I tell him? 
Now Julian, tell us what, not 

237
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,500
just for a minute, please, we 
won't be long. 

238
00:12:53,500 --> 00:12:56,600
I won't stand for it all this 
mystery making and humbug. 

239
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,700
I already did your infernal 
broadcast will Blige Isabel. 

240
00:12:59,700 --> 00:13:03,300
She made such a point of it and 
you to Fleming, I've never 

241
00:13:03,300 --> 00:13:05,700
believed in broadcasting for 
plays, but as you've written the

242
00:13:05,700 --> 00:13:09,300
damn thing for me, I wish to 
God, I'd never touched it. 

243
00:13:09,300 --> 00:13:12,200
All right darling I'm sure 
Julian will tell us what's going

244
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:13,600
on. 
Just as soon as he can, I'm not 

245
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:14,900
used to this kind of behavior 
cared. 

246
00:13:14,900 --> 00:13:17,100
I can tell you, this is What you
treat artists? 

247
00:13:17,100 --> 00:13:19,100
What do you think? 
I know who the hell are you 

248
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,800
General, Sir, Herbert, awesome. 
Administrative, controller 

249
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,200
Broadcasting House. 
Perhaps, you can tell us what's 

250
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,300
going on. 
I'm extraordinarily. 

251
00:13:27,300 --> 00:13:30,600
Sorry, you should have been 
inconvenience like this. 

252
00:13:31,500 --> 00:13:35,200
Let me introduce these 
gentlemen, who have a few 

253
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,000
questions to ask all of your 
questions? 

254
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,200
What? 
Right of they to ask us 

255
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,200
questions, who the devil are? 
You my name is Spears. 

256
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,800
Detective inspector Spears of 
Scotland Yard. 

257
00:13:46,900 --> 00:13:49,500
This is my colleague. 
Detective Sergeant ring. 

258
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,500
God raining. 
I'm glad to see you. 

259
00:13:51,500 --> 00:13:55,800
Sir, Scotland Yard indeed. 
So, I've been kept waiting here 

260
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,500
because some lady is Miss later 
handbag or a 10 Shilling notes, 

261
00:13:59,500 --> 00:14:01,100
gone missing from the 
gentleman's lavender. 

262
00:14:01,100 --> 00:14:03,000
It's rather more serious. 
I'm afraid. 

263
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,100
Luckily, one of the Board of 
Governors of this Corporation is

264
00:14:05,100 --> 00:14:06,400
a member of my club. 
You've not heard. 

265
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,200
The last of this, I can tell you
mr. 

266
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,500
Dryden, I've apologized for 
inconveniencing you. 

267
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,200
You'll realize why I had to if I
tell you that one of Fellow 

268
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,600
actors, Sydney, Parsons met his 
death in one of the studios 

269
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,400
tonight steadiest. 
Well, needless, to say, I'm 

270
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,100
distressed to hear this but it 
seems to me, you're turning 

271
00:14:27,100 --> 00:14:30,000
tragedy into farce a, my wife. 
And I to be question because 

272
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,700
some poor devil has been unlucky
enough to die on your premises, 

273
00:14:32,700 --> 00:14:35,600
I think, or perhaps you believe 
it was murder and I'm to be 

274
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,900
arrested on suspicion, it may be
murder. 

275
00:14:42,100 --> 00:14:44,800
Well, I suppose it is murder. 
Do you suggest? 

276
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,500
I or my wife had anything to do 
with it? 

277
00:14:46,500 --> 00:14:49,600
I suggest nothing at this stage 
so I can tell you this inspector

278
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,300
Spears, you've no right to 
detain US unless you choose to 

279
00:14:52,300 --> 00:14:55,300
put us under arrest, and I don't
imagine your impudent enough or 

280
00:14:55,300 --> 00:14:58,600
stupid enough to do that, I'll 
be glad to be at home to you 

281
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,200
tomorrow morning, but not before
11:00 is about Leo. 

282
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,700
Please, you'll find are 
addressing the telephone book. 

283
00:15:04,700 --> 00:15:08,900
Good evening. 
Tomorrow inspector is about. 

284
00:15:12,100 --> 00:15:15,200
I really feel one. 
Should applaud, shall I stop 

285
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,800
them leaving the building? 
No, I think I'll let him cool 

286
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,500
off. 
There's plenty to see here. 

287
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,800
I'll go back up to seven. 
See here. 

288
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,800
What the police surgeon has to 
say there. 

289
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,100
May I go home inspector? 
Well, if you don't mind, I'd 

290
00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:29,300
like you and mr. 
Cared with me, I need to know 

291
00:15:29,300 --> 00:15:30,700
how things. 
Look from both. 

292
00:15:30,700 --> 00:15:34,300
Your points of view. 
I, I don't know that I feel up 

293
00:15:34,300 --> 00:15:36,600
to seeing the body again. 
Come on, Julie, and you're as 

294
00:15:36,608 --> 00:15:39,800
excited as I am by all this lead
on inspector. 

295
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,000
You're hardly needed to just 
have my beauty sleep for this 

296
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,000
one's peers, really doctor. 
I suppose, they'll have to be an

297
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,300
autopsy as a matter of form, but
the things as clear as daylight,

298
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,600
well, strangled from behind, the
fellow, who did the Strangling 

299
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,900
wore gloves, I suppose there's 
not much argument about when he 

300
00:15:57,900 --> 00:15:59,700
was killed. 
I can time it to the second. 

301
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,400
I don't jump to conclusions. 
Mr. Cared please. 

302
00:16:02,900 --> 00:16:05,800
Sergeant make a thorough search 
of the studio and turnout 

303
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:10,600
Parsons Pockets up. 
Can't you cover him over though?

304
00:16:10,700 --> 00:16:12,000
Not just yet. 
I'm afraid. 

305
00:16:13,300 --> 00:16:17,400
So you think you heard him die? 
Of course, all our players go 

306
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,800
out live, millions of listeners,
must have heard him being 

307
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,900
strangled, her a present, I'm 
looking for facts. 

308
00:16:24,500 --> 00:16:27,800
How long's he been dead doctor? 
I've told you before, Spears, 

309
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,700
Only Fools pretend to answer 
that question accurately. 

310
00:16:31,100 --> 00:16:34,800
As accurately as possible. 
Well, he's not being dead for 

311
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,500
more than two hours. 
I can tell you that it didn't 

312
00:16:37,500 --> 00:16:40,700
take much killing poor, little 
brute wretchedly undernourished 

313
00:16:40,700 --> 00:16:42,600
bad physique and the worst set 
of teeth out. 

314
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,300
For years. 
I knew Parsons was in, rather a 

315
00:16:45,300 --> 00:16:46,700
bad way. 
Really mr. 

316
00:16:46,700 --> 00:16:49,000
Fleming. 
Yes, I knew him slightly 

317
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,000
recommended him for the part 
because he was so damned hard 

318
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,700
up. 
Thank you, hell. 

319
00:16:53,700 --> 00:16:55,400
I'd like to hear more about that
later. 

320
00:16:55,500 --> 00:16:58,200
Anything else you can tell me, 
doctor, nothing useful. 

321
00:16:58,300 --> 00:17:01,200
Alright, I'll arrange for the 
removal of the body and see if 

322
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,000
the autopsy tells us anything 
more, it won't good night. 

323
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:10,300
Good night, doctor. 
Not my idea of a police surgeon.

324
00:17:10,700 --> 00:17:14,500
Do they come in all shapes and 
sizes found a nothing's harder? 

325
00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:17,500
Not too much though this room's,
as bare as a board carpets too 

326
00:17:17,500 --> 00:17:20,099
thick to take any impression. 
Whoever did this job Knew Too 

327
00:17:20,099 --> 00:17:22,800
Much to leave anything behind 
him here, the contents of the 

328
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,599
pockets. 
How pathetic they look? 

329
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:31,100
What do you mean? 
Few pennies half empty packet of

330
00:17:31,100 --> 00:17:36,200
cigarettes shabby pocketbook. 
Who'd want to kill a man who had

331
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,500
so little but these may be 
Clues, Julian a pawn ticket, 

332
00:17:40,700 --> 00:17:44,300
some keys keys to what and what 
did he pawned? 

333
00:17:44,500 --> 00:17:47,500
Hmm, I suppose you found it. 
Interesting Rodney personally, 

334
00:17:47,500 --> 00:17:51,800
it gives me the creeps Spears 
pinguin that put Devil's things 

335
00:17:52,700 --> 00:17:54,800
as if he was choosing kidneys 
for. 

336
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,100
Make a note of the contents 
ring. 

337
00:17:57,100 --> 00:17:59,800
So what's this mr. 
Cared. 

338
00:18:00,100 --> 00:18:02,300
That's a script of the play. 
The actors read their parts. 

339
00:18:02,300 --> 00:18:03,600
You know, they don't have to 
learn them. 

340
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,100
It was lying just beside the 
body sir. 

341
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,800
Would this be a copy of your 
planes to blow me the Scarlet 

342
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,600
Highwayman? 
Yes, it's my RV. 

343
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,700
Go effort. 
That's what I thought. 

344
00:18:13,500 --> 00:18:16,600
Is it usual for your actors to 
mutilate, their scriptures to 

345
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:17,800
care? 
No, they scribble on them. 

346
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,500
Sometimes make notes in the 
margin. 

347
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,000
Why? 
Well, either mr. 

348
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,600
Parsons or someone else has torn
half the front page of this 

349
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:25,300
away. 
Way. 

350
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:28,100
It was torn in a hurry. 
The edges are Jagged. 

351
00:18:28,100 --> 00:18:30,000
Is that significant? 
Well I just wondered why it was 

352
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,700
done and who did it? 
But I think we can send everyone

353
00:18:33,700 --> 00:18:36,900
home except for you two. 
Gentlemen, if you wouldn't mind 

354
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,100
looks like we're not going to 
get much sleep tonight. 

355
00:18:39,100 --> 00:18:40,800
I don't know if I'll be able to 
sleep. 

356
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,200
When I finished in here, I'd 
like you to tell me a bit about 

357
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,100
exactly how you handle a 
broadcast play. 

358
00:18:46,100 --> 00:18:48,000
Julian can lead the conducted 
tour. 

359
00:18:48,300 --> 00:18:50,100
It's quite exhausting. 
I promise you. 

360
00:18:53,100 --> 00:18:57,500
And this is my office. 
Which ends the tour I hope. 

361
00:18:57,500 --> 00:18:58,700
Yes. 
I see what you mean by 

362
00:18:58,700 --> 00:19:02,000
exhausting as to walk miles 
whole buildings like a maze. 

363
00:19:02,100 --> 00:19:04,500
I wanted to show you everything.
Yes, thank you. 

364
00:19:04,500 --> 00:19:06,900
It was in value and you can 
blame Rodney for writing. 

365
00:19:06,900 --> 00:19:08,700
Such a damnably complicated 
play. 

366
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,600
He put every trick and gadgety 
could think of into the script 

367
00:19:11,700 --> 00:19:14,600
just to put you on your metal. 
If I could see those Studio 

368
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,100
plans is, of course and they're 
in my desk somewhere. 

369
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,400
It'll make things clearer for 
me. 

370
00:19:20,700 --> 00:19:27,200
Here we are. 
Floor, six, seven and eight the 

371
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,000
main Studios. 
We use for the Scarlet. 

372
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,100
Highwayman were on the sixth 
floor 6A through to da6, a 

373
00:19:33,100 --> 00:19:36,100
actually stands on two floors, 
the sixth and seventh. 

374
00:19:36,100 --> 00:19:40,200
So the six a Listening Room is 
on the seventh floor Parsons was

375
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,300
in 7c. 
While I was tucked away on the 

376
00:19:42,300 --> 00:19:44,200
8th floor in the dramatic 
control room. 

377
00:19:44,300 --> 00:19:46,500
Exactly. 
Why did you need so many studios

378
00:19:46,500 --> 00:19:48,800
for this production because I'm 
an awkward devil? 

379
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,300
Who likes to make Julian's life.
Hell exactly. 

380
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,800
One of the reasons we use Use 
several Studios is to get 

381
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,800
different acoustic effects for 
each scene. 7, see, where 

382
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,400
Parsons was his bill to get the 
effect of a closed room or if 

383
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,900
you add an echo from the echo 
room at dungeon, which is where 

384
00:20:02,900 --> 00:20:04,600
Parsons was murdered in the 
play. 

385
00:20:04,900 --> 00:20:11,600
And well, in reality, I suppose,
In a fairly large studio, like 

386
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,100
68, you can get the effect of 
Greater space. 

387
00:20:14,100 --> 00:20:17,000
We needed that for the ballroom 
scene, for example, and then 

388
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,400
sound effects, gramophone 
effects, in the orchestra all 

389
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,800
have a studio, their own a new 
set up in the control room away 

390
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:23,800
from it all. 
Yes. 

391
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,900
Now that's why I need a studio 
manager like McDonald's to see 

392
00:20:26,900 --> 00:20:29,600
everything is in order and the 
actors are behaving themselves 

393
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,100
in the studio and McDonald would
have been present with the 

394
00:20:32,100 --> 00:20:36,000
actors during the entire play. 
If he was doing his job, might 

395
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,000
he not have been no, no, no, no 
ill McDonald's utterly, 

396
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,500
reliable. 
Unlike this light which gave you

397
00:20:42,500 --> 00:20:44,300
problem. 
The Returned queue light from 

398
00:20:44,300 --> 00:20:45,200
88. 
Yes. 

399
00:20:45,500 --> 00:20:48,000
It when that failed, I had to 
rush down to 68. 

400
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,900
Make sure the lights there were 
in working order. 

401
00:20:50,300 --> 00:20:52,800
McDonald was due to give me a 
light later in the play cool, 

402
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,000
for some rather complicated 
scene changes from mayor culpa 

403
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,600
once again. 
So you left the can guess at 

404
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:04,600
about the time of the murder. 
Yes, it must have been and where

405
00:21:04,700 --> 00:21:07,300
exactly did you go? 
I went down the staircase from 

406
00:21:07,300 --> 00:21:10,900
the DC panel room to the seventh
floor, then along the passage, 

407
00:21:10,900 --> 00:21:13,900
which leads into the tower and 
down the central Corridor. 

408
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:20,500
So, Studio 7B and 7c would have 
been on your right. 

409
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:26,100
Yes. 
I noticed Higgins wasn't on 

410
00:21:26,100 --> 00:21:28,400
guard outside the door, leading 
into the tower, on the 7th 

411
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,300
floor, but I, I really only 
noticed it subconsciously. 

412
00:21:31,300 --> 00:21:32,900
I didn't. 
It didn't really strike me at 

413
00:21:32,900 --> 00:21:36,700
the time and you didn't look 
into 7c, obviously not, I was in

414
00:21:36,700 --> 00:21:40,600
a hurry, guy bolted straight 
down the tiny spiral staircase 

415
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,100
from the seventh floor to the 
sixth. 

416
00:21:42,300 --> 00:21:45,100
I checked the light circuit for 
the engineer and went back up 

417
00:21:45,100 --> 00:21:46,800
again. 
When did you see anyone? 

418
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:53,700
Well yeah. 
I don't want to lead you to draw

419
00:21:53,700 --> 00:21:56,300
any false conclusions. 
I should tell him Julian. 

420
00:21:56,700 --> 00:21:58,900
If it gives you an alibi, I 
don't know that it does. 

421
00:21:58,900 --> 00:22:02,300
But Just at the top of the 
spiral staircase. 

422
00:22:02,300 --> 00:22:05,200
Old, Leo, Dryden, coming along 
the seventh floor, passage from 

423
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,700
the direction of the lifts. 
Did he have any business being 

424
00:22:07,700 --> 00:22:10,100
there? 
Hmm, not that. 

425
00:22:10,100 --> 00:22:12,300
I can think of did you speak to 
it? 

426
00:22:12,500 --> 00:22:14,600
I asked him what the devil he 
was doing out of the studio. 

427
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,700
He said, he felt ill and needed 
some air. 

428
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,400
Did he look ill? 
He looked ghastly nerves? 

429
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,000
I expect but good, and you've 
got fresh air on the sixth 

430
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,500
floor. 
I mean, why should he have gone 

431
00:22:24,500 --> 00:22:26,900
up to the 7th? 
I can't possibly answer that. 

432
00:22:26,900 --> 00:22:29,600
No, well, perhaps mr. 
Dryden, a better answer that 

433
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,600
question himself. 
I wish you luck. 

434
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,900
And during the entire broadcast 
you were in the six a Listening 

435
00:22:35,900 --> 00:22:36,800
Room, mr. 
Fleming. 

436
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,700
I was yeah, I can vouch for 
that. 

437
00:22:38,900 --> 00:22:41,400
Rodney was on the phone when I 
put my head, round the door just

438
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,200
before going back up to the d.c.
panel room and the call must 

439
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,100
have come through. 
Before I'd first calm down 

440
00:22:46,100 --> 00:22:48,100
there's my dear brother ringing 
from Leeds. 

441
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,000
One of my players is touring and
George had some problems to 

442
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,100
discuss with me. 
You must have been on the phone 

443
00:22:53,100 --> 00:22:56,300
for ages but I'm sure your check
up on that. 

444
00:22:56,700 --> 00:23:03,100
I will mr. 
Fleming, becoming I mean, could 

445
00:23:03,100 --> 00:23:04,900
I have a word sir? 
Yes, certainly ring. 

446
00:23:04,900 --> 00:23:10,600
If you'll excuse us, gentlemen, 
Constable Swift has found 

447
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,300
something in one of the 
ashtrays. 

448
00:23:12,300 --> 00:23:14,700
Yeah. 
It's been put in the bag now for

449
00:23:14,700 --> 00:23:17,100
forensic. 
It's a torn piece of paper. 

450
00:23:17,100 --> 00:23:19,700
Screwed up like a spill and 
shoved into one of those funnel 

451
00:23:19,700 --> 00:23:24,000
ashtrays in The Listening Room 
outside 7c, one ends charred, 

452
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,700
looks like someone tried to set 
fire to it, push it into the 

453
00:23:26,700 --> 00:23:30,000
ashtray. 
Where unfortunately for him it 

454
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,600
went out it had some writing 
still visible as far as we can 

455
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,300
make out, just three words, your
darling Isabel. 

456
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,900
Seems to be impulsive this 
handwriting matches notes. 

457
00:23:40,900 --> 00:23:44,700
We found in the pocketbook the 
missing piece of passing script.

458
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,300
Looks like it right? 
Let me see it as soon as 

459
00:23:47,300 --> 00:23:55,100
forensics finished with it sir 
sorry about that gentleman was 

460
00:23:55,100 --> 00:23:57,500
tall. 
Sounded intriguing couldn't hear

461
00:23:57,500 --> 00:23:59,500
a thing? 
Unfortunately look I don't know 

462
00:23:59,500 --> 00:24:02,500
about you but I'm starving and I
could do with some coffee. 

463
00:24:02,700 --> 00:24:03,800
Me too. 
If we're going to be under 

464
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,700
cross-examination for much long 
enough for much longer, but I 

465
00:24:06,900 --> 00:24:08,300
welcome sir. 
Upper right. 

466
00:24:08,300 --> 00:24:10,900
I'll go down to the canteen. 
Order some food, make mine ham 

467
00:24:10,900 --> 00:24:13,200
sammiches inspector whatever's 
convenient. 

468
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,300
Right? 
I won't be long. 

469
00:24:19,900 --> 00:24:22,800
Inspector. 
You don't really think Julian 

470
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,900
had anything to do with Parsons 
death to do, you know, mr. 

471
00:24:25,900 --> 00:24:28,100
Cared. 
Well, I've known him for years. 

472
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:29,700
We were struggling actors 
together. 

473
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,400
She had many a dingy set of 
digs. 

474
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:36,400
Before we both saw the light, 
you can't think he's involved at

475
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,000
this stage. 
I have a completely open mind. 

476
00:24:39,300 --> 00:24:42,500
So we're all suspects. 
How exciting? 

477
00:24:46,900 --> 00:24:49,500
Excuse me. 
Oh, hello Evans. 

478
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,100
Are you cared? 
Nothing you doing here at this 

479
00:24:52,100 --> 00:24:55,200
time of night, taking the lift, 
as I assume, are you? 

480
00:24:55,500 --> 00:24:59,300
Yes, it's all. 
I've going down canteen. 

481
00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:04,600
I heard y'all play tonight. 
I meet you can handle that stuff

482
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,800
curd. 
But how you can bring yourself 

483
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,400
to put it on at all? 
Beats me my dear Heavens. 

484
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,900
I don't want to be offensive but
sometimes and particularly, when

485
00:25:12,900 --> 00:25:15,900
I'm as tired as I am, I wish 
you'd mind your own business as 

486
00:25:15,900 --> 00:25:19,000
a matter of fact, as head of 
research and publicity it is my 

487
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,300
business. 
I've got to get together some 

488
00:25:21,300 --> 00:25:23,800
Guff for the damn thing. 
When his rebroadcast on the 

489
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,900
Empire service rebroadcast for 
reasons, best known to our 

490
00:25:27,900 --> 00:25:31,000
Colonial friends, the Empire 
service Blattner phone your 

491
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,700
production, they seem to like 
that sort of thing. 

492
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:39,700
Course, is that important? 
It might be most. 

493
00:25:39,700 --> 00:25:41,900
I asked why I know all about it 
tomorrow morning. 

494
00:25:41,900 --> 00:25:43,600
I'm sorry Evans, but we're going
up again. 

495
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,900
Let's not forget, it's a system 
of recording a production on 

496
00:25:48,900 --> 00:25:51,900
steel tape, so it can be 
rebroadcast later. 

497
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,000
So my masterpiece isn't lost in 
the eighth note with. 

498
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,400
Don't you see what it mean? 
We can hear the death scene 

499
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,000
again over and over again. 
As often as you like, I wonder 

500
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,600
if the murderer thought of that,
how soon can you arrange for me 

501
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,600
to hear the recording? 
I'll have a word with the 

502
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:06,800
general. 
I'm sure we can arrange 

503
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,500
something for tomorrow night. 
Is that soon enough? 

504
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:14,300
Yes, yes, I think so. 
Well, food or no food? 

505
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,800
I suppose, I really must let you
go. 

506
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,300
I think we all need our Sleep. 
Well, you certainly will 

507
00:26:19,300 --> 00:26:21,100
inspector. 
If you're seeing Leo tomorrow, 

508
00:26:21,100 --> 00:26:22,700
you'll need all your wits about 
you. 

509
00:26:26,700 --> 00:26:29,300
Inspector. 
Oh, I'm sorry to have kept you. 

510
00:26:29,300 --> 00:26:32,100
Oh please don't be I've occupied
my time. 

511
00:26:32,100 --> 00:26:35,400
Leafing through your husband's 
cuttings books, I hope you don't

512
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,000
mind. 
Not at all, we're terrible ones 

513
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,800
for keeping every single notice.
However, bad the playing when 

514
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,700
she said that inspector, thank 
you. 

515
00:26:44,900 --> 00:26:47,200
I can't tell you how Dreadful 
I'm feeling about all this. 

516
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,300
Of course, it must have been a 
great shock. 

517
00:26:49,300 --> 00:26:52,500
Yes. 
It was actually a husband. 

518
00:26:52,500 --> 00:26:56,100
I came to see this morning, I'm 
afraid, he can't see. 

519
00:26:56,700 --> 00:27:00,500
Can't mrs. 
Dryden, or won't you're thinking

520
00:27:00,500 --> 00:27:05,300
of his attitude last night? 
Please don't Leo's, rather used 

521
00:27:05,300 --> 00:27:07,200
to getting his own way. 
Exactly. 

522
00:27:07,300 --> 00:27:10,900
And he was Ill this morning, he 
didn't feel equal to getting up.

523
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,000
I run his doctor, he's coming to
see him before. 

524
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,800
Lunch, your husband must hurry. 
As you'll have to tell us what 

525
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,400
he knows about this matter. 
If not to me, then to the 

526
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,000
coroner, but he doesn't know 
anything. 

527
00:27:20,700 --> 00:27:22,500
He was in the studio. 
All through the play. 

528
00:27:22,700 --> 00:27:25,800
He was feeding wretchedly ill. 
You must have seen for yourself.

529
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,600
He was in pain. 
He was far too anxious about 

530
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,300
lasting through the broadcast to
pay attention, to anything else.

531
00:27:31,300 --> 00:27:34,700
Mmm, well, perhaps you should 
remind him, he'll have to give 

532
00:27:34,700 --> 00:27:38,600
evidence at the inquest. 
It might be to his advantage to 

533
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:43,000
see me beforehand. 
Meanwhile, I'd like to ask you a

534
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:47,100
few questions if you don't mind.
Of course but I'm afraid there's

535
00:27:47,100 --> 00:27:51,000
nothing I can tell you. 
Do you mind if I smoke By all 

536
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:55,300
means and first of all mr. 
Dryden and notebook. 

537
00:27:55,300 --> 00:27:57,800
Very formal. 
Well, this is our formal 

538
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,700
interview. 
Yes. 

539
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,000
Did you know suddenly Parsons as
an actor? 

540
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,100
Yes. 
You'd acted with him before. 

541
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:07,400
No. 
Never. 

542
00:28:08,100 --> 00:28:11,500
I only meant. 
I knew him as an actor he'd been

543
00:28:11,500 --> 00:28:14,800
on stage for some time and I 
think I've heard of him as a 

544
00:28:14,808 --> 00:28:17,300
member of the thespian Club. 
Did you like him? 

545
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,400
It was hardly a question of 
liking. 

546
00:28:19,900 --> 00:28:22,000
I don't need Seen him in the 
course of this play. 

547
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,600
We didn't have any scenes 
together. 

548
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,100
I see and nothing happened 
during rehearsals to give you 

549
00:28:27,100 --> 00:28:30,500
the idea any other member of the
cast is like, do no. 

550
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,200
It was a quiet for others, 
shabby little, man. 

551
00:28:34,500 --> 00:28:36,300
I don't think he spoke much to 
anyone. 

552
00:28:36,900 --> 00:28:39,600
He's been most rehearsals today 
about reading a newspaper. 

553
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,000
There's no need to be nervous. 
Mrs. Dryden. 

554
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,700
So I'm not in the least nervous.
Why should I be Have you any 

555
00:28:46,700 --> 00:28:48,400
idea? 
What upset your husband last 

556
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,900
night, upset? 
Oh, do you mean what did he have

557
00:28:52,900 --> 00:28:54,400
for dinner? 
Yes. 

558
00:28:54,700 --> 00:28:56,700
If you think it was the food 
that upset him. 

559
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,400
It seemed to me, emotional 
rather than physical. 

560
00:29:03,300 --> 00:29:05,500
Are you on good terms with your 
husband? 

561
00:29:05,900 --> 00:29:10,700
You've no right to ask me that. 
Leah and I have been married 

562
00:29:10,700 --> 00:29:14,700
almost five years, stage. 
Marriage is seldom lasts that 

563
00:29:14,700 --> 00:29:19,100
long at that unsuccessful. 
Leah's temperamental like all 

564
00:29:19,100 --> 00:29:21,100
great artists. 
I'm not pretending where 

565
00:29:21,100 --> 00:29:23,800
candidates for the done mode 
flitch, you know, in fact, your 

566
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:25,700
husband's inclined to be 
jealous. 

567
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,100
I think I've read gossip to that
effect. 

568
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:29,500
A man. 
Who's in love with his wife. 

569
00:29:29,500 --> 00:29:31,400
Should be jealous, don't you 
think? 

570
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,300
So? 
He wasn't jealous of Sydney 

571
00:29:34,300 --> 00:29:38,900
Parsons got nothing happened as 
not to upset him apart from the 

572
00:29:38,900 --> 00:29:43,100
food. 
I'd much rather hear it from 

573
00:29:43,100 --> 00:29:44,900
you. 
Mrs. Dryden them from your 

574
00:29:44,900 --> 00:29:48,000
servants. 
Well. 

575
00:29:49,300 --> 00:29:53,400
I will tell you but don't draw 
any false conclusions from it 

576
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:57,200
because it's absurd my husband 
and I did quarrel at dinner. 

577
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:01,100
Nothing serious you had what 
some people call words. 

578
00:30:01,300 --> 00:30:05,300
It was only that someone had 
written me, a silly letter and I

579
00:30:05,300 --> 00:30:07,300
was foolish enough to show it to
Leah. 

580
00:30:07,700 --> 00:30:10,200
He lost his temper. 
He's often touch in hot. 

581
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,700
Weather here either and played. 
It was my fault that anyone 

582
00:30:12,700 --> 00:30:13,900
should have written me. 
Such a letter. 

583
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,600
We were both nervous about this 
play really. 

584
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:23,400
We've never done any broadcast. 
Before we got rather childishly 

585
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,700
heated about it. 
This letter. 

586
00:30:26,300 --> 00:30:29,800
Was it a love letter? 
I suppose you might call it that

587
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:33,600
would you mind showing it to me?
I'm afraid I tore it up. 

588
00:30:34,900 --> 00:30:37,100
Where's the letter? 
Written in answer for one of 

589
00:30:37,100 --> 00:30:39,200
yours. 
Mrs. Dryden, no. 

590
00:30:40,100 --> 00:30:42,900
It was just a silly thought of 
letter. 

591
00:30:42,900 --> 00:30:45,200
Any actress? 
Is liable to get from a perfect 

592
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,700
stranger. 
How can any of this affect the? 

593
00:30:48,900 --> 00:30:51,100
That the horrible thing that 
happened last night. 

594
00:30:51,100 --> 00:30:54,600
Mrs. Dryden, I sympathize with 
you, but I have to say that 

595
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,700
active hindrance on your part 
might be construed as 

596
00:30:57,700 --> 00:31:01,400
participation in the crime. 
I don't know what you mean. 

597
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:05,000
Your husband refuses to see me. 
I told you it's possible. 

598
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,900
He may be ill. 
I'll be able to judge that when 

599
00:31:07,900 --> 00:31:11,500
I speak to his doctor and you 
probably from the best of 

600
00:31:11,500 --> 00:31:14,800
motives are doing your best to 
mislead me. 

601
00:31:15,700 --> 00:31:18,400
Mislead you. 
You said your husband was in the

602
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,400
studio during the whole of the 
broadcast. 

603
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:24,400
I know for a fact he wasn't you 
only admitted under pressure. 

604
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,600
That he was a jealous man. 
But hide ho his jealousy is one 

605
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,000
of the principal topics of 
theatrical London. 

606
00:31:30,500 --> 00:31:33,600
Again, you only admitted under 
pressure that you'd quarreled 

607
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,300
with your husband, mr. 
Spears. 

608
00:31:35,300 --> 00:31:37,700
I don't like being called a liar
to my face. 

609
00:31:37,700 --> 00:31:41,000
I'd like you to look at this 
letter with Bryden, what's this?

610
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,400
Now, it's one of three letters 
from you. 

611
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:49,500
We found among Austin's papers. 
That is your handwriting. 

612
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,400
Do you still deny? 
It was in answer to this letter 

613
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,500
that the letter came which you 
showed to your husband which 

614
00:31:57,500 --> 00:31:59,500
caused the quarrel you hadn't 
heard. 

615
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,500
It was in fact. 
Blackmailing, you do you deny 

616
00:32:02,500 --> 00:32:04,600
that? 
What do you want from me? 

617
00:32:05,100 --> 00:32:07,700
The nothing more present. 
But I'd like to speak to your 

618
00:32:07,700 --> 00:32:14,500
husband as soon as possible. 
I'll talk to him what this 

619
00:32:14,500 --> 00:32:16,600
evening do. 
No, not this evening. 

620
00:32:17,300 --> 00:32:20,400
This evening I fancy. 
I'm going to hear a murder being

621
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:25,900
committed. 
How damn damn the play. 

622
00:32:25,900 --> 00:32:28,100
Damn Rodney. 
Damn everything die. 

623
00:32:28,100 --> 00:32:32,200
He'll come in. 
Okay. 

624
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,500
Are you busy? 
Judy should be. 

625
00:32:35,100 --> 00:32:37,700
I should be drawing up a list of
productions for the last three 

626
00:32:37,700 --> 00:32:41,800
months of this year, somehow, I 
can't concentrate, have you seen

627
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,000
the reporters outside had to 
battle my way through them to 

628
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,000
get in the building? 
Where in all the newspapers 

629
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,900
headline, you death that 
broadcasting house? 

630
00:32:49,500 --> 00:32:52,600
It's it is a stable 
unfortunately, it doesn't help 

631
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,900
anyone in Apartment to do that 
job this morning. 

632
00:32:55,500 --> 00:32:57,300
I've been thinking about last 
night's business. 

633
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,100
You surprised me. 
No, no, I have and I don't 

634
00:33:00,100 --> 00:33:02,900
understand the methods of your 
friend, the detective if I was 

635
00:33:02,900 --> 00:33:05,200
handling the case, posing to do 
his job for him. 

636
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,400
Guy, of course not, but there 
are one or two things. 

637
00:33:08,500 --> 00:33:10,800
All right guys, I'm not going to
get any serious work. 

638
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,700
Done this morning, give me your 
thoughts on the mystery. 

639
00:33:13,900 --> 00:33:15,900
Well, first of all that man, 
Higgins. 

640
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,600
He hasn't shown up at all today.
Probably overslept. 

641
00:33:18,700 --> 00:33:22,500
He might have, but I had a word,
a flaming rail with Parsons 

642
00:33:22,500 --> 00:33:26,800
during whistles for the Scarlet.
Highwaymen Oh, go on. 

643
00:33:27,300 --> 00:33:30,000
It was a third or fourth. 
Rehearsal the first day you 

644
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,200
stopped rehearsing the cast in a
studio and came up to the 

645
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,400
control room. 
You know that rule about not 

646
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,600
taking hats and coats into the 
studio, never understood it now.

647
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,700
Well, it seems Parsons took his 
into 7c. 

648
00:33:41,100 --> 00:33:42,900
Higgins, saw them and tried to 
take them downstairs. 

649
00:33:42,900 --> 00:33:45,300
To the cloakroom Parsons turned 
on him. 

650
00:33:45,300 --> 00:33:48,200
Used some pretty filthy 
language, really throw him out. 

651
00:33:48,500 --> 00:33:50,100
Higgins told McDonald all about 
it. 

652
00:33:50,100 --> 00:33:52,200
You're trying to pin the murder 
on Higgins. 

653
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,900
I'm not trying to pin it on 
anyone but it's a bit queer. 

654
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,300
It was The door during 
transmission. 

655
00:33:57,500 --> 00:33:59,600
He didn't stay in God 7c after 
the murder. 

656
00:33:59,700 --> 00:34:01,900
He was looking like death last 
night and now he doesn't turn up

657
00:34:01,900 --> 00:34:03,700
this morning. 
I had a perfectly good story 

658
00:34:03,700 --> 00:34:05,800
about the girl from what you 
told me. 

659
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,600
I don't think it's either 
perfect or good. 

660
00:34:08,199 --> 00:34:11,100
Huh. 
Well, is that the full extent of

661
00:34:11,108 --> 00:34:14,100
your thoughts? 
Not quite this Blattner phone 

662
00:34:14,100 --> 00:34:16,000
recording. 
There might be a clue on the 

663
00:34:16,007 --> 00:34:17,800
steel tape. 
I imagine that's why Spears 

664
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,199
wants to hear it? 
Yes. 

665
00:34:19,199 --> 00:34:22,199
But would he pick up a clue? 
He's not used to just using his 

666
00:34:22,199 --> 00:34:24,199
ears, is he? 
But you are. 

667
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:29,800
It's my job. 
Oh my gosh, I you can come along

668
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,800
to the replay of the recording 
tonight, but don't tread on the 

669
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,900
inspectors toes for all his 
charm. 

670
00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:41,600
I don't think Spears is a man to
cross I can tell you care to see

671
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,100
that awful day, the governors 
are being difficult. 

672
00:34:44,100 --> 00:34:47,100
Of course, the Press are 
entirely responsible as usual 

673
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,100
now, this infernal Blattner 
phone business shouldn't take 

674
00:34:51,100 --> 00:34:54,100
long sir, is it really necessary
to have all these people here 

675
00:34:54,100 --> 00:34:55,600
just to listen to this 
recording? 

676
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,100
Well, that was my decision. 
I'm afraid I thought Fleming 

677
00:34:58,100 --> 00:35:00,500
should be here. 
It's his play after all and the 

678
00:35:00,500 --> 00:35:02,800
banisters more accustomed to 
hearing Blattner phone 

679
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,500
recordings than anyone else. 
He might spot something, we'd 

680
00:35:05,500 --> 00:35:08,400
Miss, they don't know one of the
inspectors. 

681
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:12,200
Happy bring up the Room and 
let's get on with it. 

682
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:13,900
They're preparing the steel tape
now. 

683
00:35:14,900 --> 00:35:20,700
Come General Farkas and yes I'm 
I'm sorry to give you another 

684
00:35:20,700 --> 00:35:22,300
late night. 
Think nothing of it. 

685
00:35:22,300 --> 00:35:25,100
Inspect over here to help the 
police in any way we can. 

686
00:35:25,100 --> 00:35:27,600
Well if we're already, perhaps 
we could hear the recording. 

687
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,400
Couldn't we just do my play from
the beginning. 

688
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,300
So the inspector gets the full 
flavor. 

689
00:35:31,700 --> 00:35:33,900
I don't think that's entirely 
necessary. 

690
00:35:33,900 --> 00:35:36,700
Is it inspector perhaps? 
Now I'm sure Rodney wasn't being

691
00:35:36,700 --> 00:35:38,400
serious. 
It guy. 

692
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,100
Are you ready? 
I think so. 

693
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,200
Quiet everyone. 
It started. 

694
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,000
What's the music? 
The end of the previous scene in

695
00:35:47,008 --> 00:35:53,700
the ballroom, that's where I 
faded over from 6 a.m. and 8 

696
00:35:53,700 --> 00:35:59,900
a.m. to 7:00. 
See where Parsons was So you're 

697
00:35:59,900 --> 00:36:03,300
here at last. 
Didn't I tell you? 

698
00:36:03,300 --> 00:36:06,300
It gets you one day. 
Didn't I? 

699
00:36:06,300 --> 00:36:10,700
Swear that day a rolled me over 
in the mud that I'd even with 

700
00:36:10,700 --> 00:36:12,200
you yet. 
Ha ha. 

701
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,600
Ha. 
Good Heavens. 

702
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:29,900
You Is that it? 
I call that pretty average 

703
00:36:29,900 --> 00:36:31,300
gruesome? 
Yeah. 

704
00:36:32,300 --> 00:36:34,700
Is there anything more we could 
do for you inspector? 

705
00:36:35,300 --> 00:36:39,600
I like that piece of steel tape 
sealed up and kept so I can hear

706
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,900
it again. 
If I need to connect be arranged

707
00:36:41,900 --> 00:36:45,400
certainly according to Evans, it
wasn't good enough for the a 

708
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,500
service out that also you can 
mutilate it as much as you wish.

709
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,200
I'll give instructions to the 
blood, the phone Engineers 

710
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,800
myself. 
I'm not going to ask you now. 

711
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,300
If you've learned that he will 
lose Experiment. 

712
00:36:58,500 --> 00:37:00,500
But I'd be glad if you'd call me
in the morning. 

713
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,400
Of course. 
Then I'll say goodnight to you 

714
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:09,800
all good night, Jennifer Mason. 
Did you get anything out of its 

715
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,800
peers? 
Personally, I was down. 

716
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,900
Nearly sick. 
Poor bloody little man. 

717
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,800
Did you pick anything up? 
Well, the only thing that struck

718
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,900
me was I'd never heard the scene
played so well. 

719
00:37:22,700 --> 00:37:23,900
What about you, mr. 
Fleming. 

720
00:37:24,900 --> 00:37:27,600
All authors of the same 
inspector, they'd only notice 

721
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:31,200
one thing, the way actors and 
producers mutilate, what they 

722
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:32,800
write? 
What do you mean? 

723
00:37:33,100 --> 00:37:36,000
Wait, it's not important. 
But as I wrote the scene after 

724
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,200
the words, I'll be even with you
yet. 

725
00:37:38,300 --> 00:37:42,600
There was a pause and then you 
the Scarlet high and then the 

726
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,700
Jailer was strangled in a mass 
of horrible gurgle. 

727
00:37:44,700 --> 00:37:46,200
I cut the Scarlet. 
Hi myself. 

728
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,500
I thought it weakened the end of
Speak and you don't think good 

729
00:37:48,500 --> 00:37:51,600
Evans weakens it. 
I didn't put that in Parsons 

730
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,700
wanted to say good God. 
I told him that wasn't 

731
00:37:53,700 --> 00:37:55,800
acceptable. 
I suppose you substituted good 

732
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:57,700
Heavens paid for misreading the 
author with this. 

733
00:37:57,700 --> 00:37:59,900
Lovely shut up Rodney. 
Thank you gentlemen. 

734
00:37:59,900 --> 00:38:01,600
I think that's cleared up the 
point. 

735
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,600
Is that a hole? 
No sudden Revelations. 

736
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,800
Pissed, you're an incorrigible 
romantic. 

737
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,500
There may be something on the 
recording, we just have to find 

738
00:38:10,500 --> 00:38:11,800
it. 
Any ideas mr. 

739
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:15,100
Bannister nothing at the moment.
Inspector are you going back to 

740
00:38:15,100 --> 00:38:16,200
Scotland? 
Yard inspector? 

741
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,700
Yes, I wanted. 
Two things to tidy up before I 

742
00:38:18,700 --> 00:38:20,100
get home. 
What about you and Julian? 

743
00:38:20,100 --> 00:38:23,200
Can I give you a lift? 
No, there's some there's 

744
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,300
something I want to do in my 
office before I leave. 

745
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,700
It'll be useful. 
If you came along guy, if you're

746
00:38:28,700 --> 00:38:32,300
not too tired, no, not at all. 
I have a feeling, I won't get a 

747
00:38:32,300 --> 00:38:34,300
proper night's sleep till this 
case is over. 

748
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,800
I felt such a damned fool the 
way Fleming laughs. 

749
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:41,700
No, I wouldn't take much notice 
of Rodney. 

750
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,500
He puts on a show of not caring 
very much, but Underneath It All

751
00:38:45,500 --> 00:38:49,100
and then think it does care very
much except about his career, 

752
00:38:49,100 --> 00:38:51,000
you know, him better than I do. 
Yes. 

753
00:38:51,700 --> 00:38:53,500
But this patch of caution a 
moment ago. 

754
00:38:54,100 --> 00:38:57,700
Happy when idea, it's not really
an idea, but it seems to me. 

755
00:38:57,700 --> 00:39:00,500
There are only two real 
suspects, Higgins and Leo, 

756
00:39:00,500 --> 00:39:05,200
Dryden and myself, too, serious 
suspects, don't you agree? 

757
00:39:05,500 --> 00:39:09,000
I'm not sure. 
Rodney has an alibi and Isabel 

758
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,900
didn't leave the studio if we 
can believe McDonald and there's

759
00:39:11,900 --> 00:39:13,600
no reason not to no. 
I suppose not. 

760
00:39:14,500 --> 00:39:17,100
And he's given an alibi to all 
the other actors in the cast. 

761
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,200
So we're left with Higgins and 
Dryden. 

762
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:20,800
Hmm. 
Which do you favor? 

763
00:39:21,100 --> 00:39:24,100
Well, I can't really believe. 
Dryden would kill anyone and I'm

764
00:39:24,100 --> 00:39:27,600
inclined to agree, despite the 
idiotic way is behaving with the

765
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,700
police, but Higgins, that story 
about his girlfriend. 

766
00:39:30,700 --> 00:39:34,300
Fe in the canteen is, as thin as
tissue paper and he quarreled 

767
00:39:34,300 --> 00:39:36,400
with Parsons he lied when you 
confronted him. 

768
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,400
And now Disappeared. 
Well, you wouldn't arise as much

769
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:43,000
as you like guy, but what you're
going to do track Higgins down, 

770
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:47,100
I might take a cast in the 
direction of his home, as a 

771
00:39:47,108 --> 00:39:50,900
matter of fact, I might do a bit
of amateur detection myself. 

772
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:54,200
I thought this whole thing, 
sick, and it does that like it 

773
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:58,300
resolved, but I'm not at all 
surely inspector takes any of us

774
00:39:58,300 --> 00:40:01,500
entirely seriously and he 
suggestion. 

775
00:40:01,500 --> 00:40:03,700
We make might just be cast 
aside. 

776
00:40:05,300 --> 00:40:08,600
I asked you to stay on tonight. 
Might give me a hand with what. 

777
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,600
Gloves, gloves, the murderer 
wore gloves. 

778
00:40:14,300 --> 00:40:18,200
What happened to them? 
Would he or just, possibly she 

779
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,500
risk, slipping them into their 
pocket from the crime might be 

780
00:40:20,500 --> 00:40:23,900
discovered at once in the 
general search made has Spears 

781
00:40:23,900 --> 00:40:27,600
look for them and they tucked 
away somewhere on the 7th floor 

782
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,700
somewhere where the police 
haven't taught to look and what 

783
00:40:30,700 --> 00:40:34,300
do you say to a search? 
Now, this late the best time 

784
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,400
buildings almost empty. 
We won't be disturbed your game.

785
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:41,700
I certainly am good because I 
think Know where they'll be how 

786
00:40:41,700 --> 00:40:44,100
nice? 
There's a cupboard on the 7th 

787
00:40:44,100 --> 00:40:47,100
Floor, built into the wall 
Higgins. 

788
00:40:47,100 --> 00:40:49,600
Keeps his cleaning stuff in 
there when the doors closed. 

789
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:50,900
You wouldn't know. 
There was a cupboard, but 

790
00:40:50,900 --> 00:40:56,800
Higgins, usually leaves the door
open, it wasn't open last night.

791
00:40:58,100 --> 00:41:00,800
I think it's worth a look lead 
on. 

792
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,400
I'll be right behind you at 
2:30. 

793
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:07,300
You can hear the first part of a
new classic serial people about 

794
00:41:07,500 --> 00:41:10,000
there's no reason to whisper I 
think I'd rather Other. 

795
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:14,000
Well, that is just a cat. 
There's still two of them left 

796
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:15,500
from the tribe of moved in, with
the place. 

797
00:41:15,500 --> 00:41:17,400
Was being built. 
Oh, come on! 

798
00:41:17,900 --> 00:41:22,200
This is the way I came last 
night Juliette. 

799
00:41:22,900 --> 00:41:25,500
There's a light six, a Listening
Room. 

800
00:41:25,900 --> 00:41:29,400
There shouldn't be any Wonder. 
Hagen's come to retrieve his 

801
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,500
gloves. 
Let's find out. 

802
00:41:33,700 --> 00:41:36,700
All right, what do you think? 
What the hell happens? 

803
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,800
What in God's name? 
Are you doing here at this time 

804
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:41,400
of night? 
Suppose, I ask you the same 

805
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,800
question which I don't propose 
to enter into a slanging match 

806
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,500
with you Evans. 
Departmentally, I'm responsible 

807
00:41:47,500 --> 00:41:49,000
for what you do in this part of 
the building. 

808
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,300
If you're going to drag red 
taping, I'm not dragging in 

809
00:41:52,300 --> 00:41:56,200
anything, but you can tell me or
explain it to the controller in 

810
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,200
the morning. 
Is it necessary for banners to 

811
00:41:58,200 --> 00:41:59,700
be here? 
I'm sorry. 

812
00:41:59,700 --> 00:42:01,200
Should I go? 
No, stay Guy. 

813
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,000
I'm sure Evans can tell us both 
what he's doing. 

814
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,400
Routing about in that cupboard. 
Criminology happens to be a 

815
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,500
hobby of mine. 
Yes you can't expect me not to 

816
00:42:10,500 --> 00:42:12,900
take advantage of it when a 
murders been committed in the 

817
00:42:12,900 --> 00:42:16,000
building where I actually work. 
There's a chance in a million. 

818
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,700
This murders no business of 
yours as much, mine as yours or 

819
00:42:19,700 --> 00:42:22,200
are you pretending you came up 
here to see if any more dead 

820
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,100
bodies were lying about in your 
precious Studios. 

821
00:42:27,300 --> 00:42:30,400
I got hold of one of the police 
photographers only cost me, 10 

822
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,500
Bob to get a very fair resume, a
of the police surgeons report. 

823
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:35,100
But what were you after in that 
cupboard? 

824
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:38,600
If you must know, Bannister a 
pair of gloves? 

825
00:42:39,700 --> 00:42:41,400
Gloves. 
It's the cupboard where Higgins 

826
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,200
keeps his cleaning stuff. 
I know he didn't turn up this 

827
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:47,200
morning, so the cupboard hasn't 
been Disturbed since the murder.

828
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,500
How did, you know? 
He didn't come in today, you've 

829
00:42:49,500 --> 00:42:54,200
talked of nothing else banister.
Sorry, Julian can't be helped. 

830
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:58,000
Are you trying to pin this thing
on a Higgins Higgins? 

831
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,100
If he cans are done it, I 
wouldn't be looking for the 

832
00:43:00,100 --> 00:43:02,700
gloves in his cupboard. 
And as he was insane, he died. 

833
00:43:02,700 --> 00:43:05,500
He put them in his own cupboard,
Woody, unless he had no time to 

834
00:43:05,500 --> 00:43:09,300
do anything else in here 
somewhere, you should leave this

835
00:43:09,300 --> 00:43:12,200
to. 
He got it, just tape, it makes 

836
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,500
sense, you know the murderer 
comes out of seven, see he can 

837
00:43:15,500 --> 00:43:18,000
only leave by two doors. 
Either through the door that 

838
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:19,600
leads into 7B and that door 
solid. 

839
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,400
So he wouldn't know if anyone 
was on the other side, but the 

840
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,800
door into the passage has a 
glass panel so he could check 

841
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:26,900
for people. 
Then, all he has to do is slip 

842
00:43:26,900 --> 00:43:28,300
out here. 
Chuck the gloves into the 

843
00:43:28,300 --> 00:43:30,900
cupboard, slam the door, and go 
back wherever he came from, who 

844
00:43:30,900 --> 00:43:32,900
shut up. 
Banister, make this a space 

845
00:43:32,900 --> 00:43:35,500
behind this shelf, it given that
torch guys. 

846
00:43:35,500 --> 00:43:37,000
Oh look! 
I've got a longer reach than 

847
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:37,500
you. 
Okay. 

848
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:42,400
Yes. 
Yes, here they are good for you.

849
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:46,900
Good God, look at them, black 
stitching scalloped Gauntlet 

850
00:43:46,900 --> 00:43:49,000
wrists. 
I think we all know who these 

851
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,500
belong to can't be certain 
they're dryden's gloves affected

852
00:43:52,500 --> 00:43:55,800
extravagant idiot, fancy having 
things like this made for you. 

853
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,500
A man can be affected and 
extravagant without committing. 

854
00:43:58,500 --> 00:44:00,800
Murder. 
Do you seriously suspect? 

855
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:02,700
Leopold Trident. 
Suspect him. 

856
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:06,300
It's as plain as a pikestaff. 
He's got just the sort of 

857
00:44:06,300 --> 00:44:09,300
limited intelligence combined 
with a colossal, vanity. 

858
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:14,100
But all the showy murderers have
rude domineering, brute. 

859
00:44:14,100 --> 00:44:16,000
Quite a good chap. 
If you're taking the right way, 

860
00:44:16,100 --> 00:44:18,500
I don't call a man, a good chap.
When he quarrels with his wife, 

861
00:44:18,500 --> 00:44:20,700
in front of her friends, the 
man's a cad. 

862
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,300
I didn't know you were a friend 
of Isabel I've known ever 

863
00:44:23,300 --> 00:44:25,300
sometime. 
I think I can say I know her 

864
00:44:25,300 --> 00:44:28,600
considerably better than you do 
care and you won't want to cause

865
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:30,400
her pain. 
But what are we going to do with

866
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,500
the gloves? 
We obviously have to hand them 

867
00:44:32,500 --> 00:44:34,700
over to the police. 
Don't take too much on yourself 

868
00:44:34,700 --> 00:44:36,900
kid. 
I'll take them to the police 

869
00:44:36,900 --> 00:44:41,100
myself as forgiving, Isabelle. 
Pain it would be the best thing 

870
00:44:41,100 --> 00:44:44,200
that ever happened to her. 
If Leopold Dryden was hanged as 

871
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:47,100
high as Haman. 
I'll say, goodnight, to both of 

872
00:44:47,100 --> 00:44:50,000
you. 
Are you thinking what I'm 

873
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:54,900
thinking? 
What's that guy Evans planted 

874
00:44:54,900 --> 00:44:59,600
the gloves himself just to 
implicate, Dryden possible, but 

875
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,400
knowingly, oh he'll get himself 
hanged without any help from 

876
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:06,600
Evans unless Spears can find a 
better candidate. 

877
00:45:11,300 --> 00:45:12,900
Mr. Fleming is here to see you 
sir. 

878
00:45:13,500 --> 00:45:15,300
I think I'll let him wait for a 
bit. 

879
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:19,700
I've been going through my notes
ring and no further forward. 

880
00:45:19,700 --> 00:45:22,200
Really, it's a tough one. 
This well, there are too many 

881
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:28,400
suspects, he games, Dryden, of 
course, cared Fleming himself. 

882
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:31,800
Except his Alibi seems to be 
cast on the stage doorman at 

883
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,900
Leeds, confirm the brothers call
and the timing, lets him out 

884
00:45:35,100 --> 00:45:37,800
together with the switchboard 
girl, a Broadcasting House 

885
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,200
confirming, they were chatting 
away whenever she happened to 

886
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:43,300
check. 
The line was clear, still, I'm 

887
00:45:43,300 --> 00:45:49,500
keeping him as a possible, any 
ideas yourself? 

888
00:45:49,700 --> 00:45:52,700
Well, those letters we found at 
Parsons digs could put Isabel, 

889
00:45:52,700 --> 00:45:55,500
Dryden on the list. 
Well, she certainly went as 

890
00:45:55,500 --> 00:45:58,700
white as the walls of her flat 
when I showed her own letter, 

891
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,400
but Donna confirmed. 
She was in the studio the whole 

892
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,400
time. 
But how reliable is he? 

893
00:46:04,300 --> 00:46:06,300
I have a feeling the beautiful 
mrs. 

894
00:46:06,300 --> 00:46:09,400
Dryden lies behind this in some 
way. 

895
00:46:09,900 --> 00:46:11,800
Too many. 
People are in love with her. 

896
00:46:12,300 --> 00:46:14,500
I saw her once. 
He is ago before, she was famous

897
00:46:14,500 --> 00:46:17,700
in some review. 
She suddenly got something I 

898
00:46:17,700 --> 00:46:22,300
wonder if Rodney Fleming's. 
Another of her Conquest Shaymin 

899
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:27,300
I think I'm ready. 
Stop I hope I'm ready. 

900
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,300
Jolly place you got here. 
Inspector. 

901
00:46:31,500 --> 00:46:34,600
Good morning, mr. 
Fleming like your view ever. 

902
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:36,900
Can't you bribe? 
The English fascist to burn down

903
00:46:36,900 --> 00:46:39,300
County Hall on the same 
Principle as the Nazis burned 

904
00:46:39,300 --> 00:46:41,800
the reichstag. 
If you'd like to sit down oh 

905
00:46:41,808 --> 00:46:43,100
thanks. 
Oh, don't pay any attention to 

906
00:46:43,108 --> 00:46:44,900
my chatter. 
I'm always professionally bright

907
00:46:44,900 --> 00:46:47,600
in the morning. 
May I smoke by all means. 

908
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:49,900
I'm afraid. 
I don't keep Egyptian cigarettes

909
00:46:50,100 --> 00:46:52,000
so you've observed, I don't 
smoke gaspar's. 

910
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,400
My dear Holmes, you restore my 
faith in the police. 

911
00:46:56,100 --> 00:46:59,200
Bring out the handcuffs. 
What do you mean? 

912
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:02,600
Mr. Fleming, I can't expect to 
get out of Scotland Yard. 

913
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:06,400
I have cuffs on my wrist, can I?
After all look at me, promising,

914
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,100
new playwright, according to the
Press. 

915
00:47:08,100 --> 00:47:10,300
That's almost enough to hang a 
man by itself. 

916
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:15,000
No visible means of support, 
except one successful play now 

917
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,000
closed in the West End and 
making the rounds of the 

918
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:18,900
province's. 
The second play bought for 

919
00:47:18,900 --> 00:47:21,800
theater production by Leo. 
Dryden the radio play of course 

920
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:23,400
M. 
Darius journalistic efforts 

921
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:25,000
apart from that. 
What you? 

922
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:27,700
About me inspector except that I
was on the scene of the crime 

923
00:47:27,700 --> 00:47:29,800
and uncomfortably close to where
it was committed. 

924
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,100
If you don't arrest me, I'll 
have a question asked in the 

925
00:47:32,100 --> 00:47:36,000
house. 
Very amusing, mr. 

926
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:41,100
Fleming, the time runs on, he'll
answer a few questions. 

927
00:47:41,100 --> 00:47:43,600
I hope delighted. 
Inspector turn on our third 

928
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,100
degree. 
What do I get? 

929
00:47:45,100 --> 00:47:48,400
Robert Ronson's fire hose. 
I'll tell you when you start 

930
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:52,100
refusing to answer to share, 
perhaps you could tell me a bit 

931
00:47:52,100 --> 00:47:55,000
about your background, we 
intended for charge of the 

932
00:47:55,100 --> 00:47:58,000
Accountancy disliked the motion 
heartily, so drifted onto the 

933
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,700
stage scraped, a living in the 
provinces for a few years. 

934
00:48:00,700 --> 00:48:03,600
I lived in same digs as Julian. 
Cleared on one of those tours 

935
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:07,000
and we became friends then I 
wrote a play which caught on. 

936
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:09,300
I saw it at the fortune enjoyed 
it. 

937
00:48:09,300 --> 00:48:10,800
Very much. 
Thank you. 

938
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:12,900
And why did you write the 
Scarlet? 

939
00:48:12,900 --> 00:48:16,100
Highwomen several reasons. 
There's no advertisement in the 

940
00:48:16,100 --> 00:48:19,100
world, like, having a play 
broadcast, Leo dryden's, 

941
00:48:19,100 --> 00:48:21,500
accepted my second stage. 
Play means to do it in the 

942
00:48:21,500 --> 00:48:23,900
Autumn. 
If you don't hang him instead, 

943
00:48:24,100 --> 00:48:28,100
we'll try not. 
Sorry, taste, I wrote Leo 

944
00:48:28,100 --> 00:48:29,700
eyelash, part in the radio 
plates. 

945
00:48:29,700 --> 00:48:33,200
Good publicity for my stage play
and I wanted to show Julian, I 

946
00:48:33,208 --> 00:48:36,500
could master all his infernal 
technicalities at my first shot.

947
00:48:36,900 --> 00:48:39,600
So, I went away for a fortnight 
and wrote The Scarlet Highwayman

948
00:48:39,700 --> 00:48:42,500
I see. 
But suppose we go on to the 

949
00:48:42,500 --> 00:48:48,000
actual night of the crime. 
Now, you sat in the six, a 

950
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:51,900
Listening Room, not in the 
drama, control room with the 

951
00:48:51,900 --> 00:48:54,900
producer by wanted to see the 
actors playing my scenes as 

952
00:48:54,900 --> 00:48:56,700
much. 
As possible, was that the only 

953
00:48:56,700 --> 00:48:59,800
reason but no, no, I was 
expecting a call from Leeds, it 

954
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,300
was rather important. 
Apparently 6A is the only 

955
00:49:02,300 --> 00:49:04,200
Listening Room on those floors 
with a phone. 

956
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:06,400
This was the call from your 
brother. 

957
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,600
That's the one you would you 
mind giving me a few more 

958
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:11,800
details about it at all. 
Inspector, I'm at your mercy. 

959
00:49:12,500 --> 00:49:15,500
George my brother is managing 
the regional tour of my first 

960
00:49:15,500 --> 00:49:17,200
play. 
We've had a certain amount of 

961
00:49:17,208 --> 00:49:19,600
bother with the actor playing 
the father in law is quite the 

962
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:22,200
wrong type and George wanted to 
rewrite the part to suit the 

963
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:28,100
actor is that unusual Not I told
you guys to go ahead and order 

964
00:49:28,100 --> 00:49:30,800
the parts he saw fit, but to 
ring and let me know the details

965
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:34,000
before it was actually a 
restaged of time was tight and 

966
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,600
he had ring me at the BBC. 
Do you know exactly when the 

967
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:39,500
gold came through? 
Didn't we go through this 

968
00:49:39,500 --> 00:49:41,800
before? 
I'd like a few more details? 

969
00:49:41,900 --> 00:49:45,300
Well, the phone rang just as the
ballroom scene was ending, 

970
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:46,800
that's the scene before, the 
murder. 

971
00:49:47,300 --> 00:49:52,100
How long did your call? 
Lust can tell you exactly at 

972
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:54,500
some point Julian, pokes his 
head, round the door, something 

973
00:49:54,500 --> 00:49:56,500
about it. 
Return light failing. 

974
00:49:56,500 --> 00:49:57,700
I didn't pay much attention to 
him. 

975
00:49:58,100 --> 00:50:01,800
I suppose that call finished 
about two minutes after that. 

976
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:07,000
Would you say you had about 6 
minutes and all of probably, I 

977
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:10,200
expect that's important. 
The times always are in Murder 

978
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:15,000
Mystery, quite I believe it was 
your suggestion to engage Sydney

979
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,100
Parsons for a part in the play. 
Yes. 

980
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,500
How did you come to know him or 
he understood in the West End in

981
00:50:20,508 --> 00:50:23,000
my first play? 
He wrote me afterwards, saying 

982
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,300
it was hard up, and I thought he
might do for the Jailer. 

983
00:50:25,300 --> 00:50:27,700
So I suggested him to Julian. 
I see. 

984
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:32,300
Well, I think that's all mr. 
Fleming look, seriously, you're 

985
00:50:32,300 --> 00:50:34,800
not really suspect Leo, do you? 
I'm afraid. 

986
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:37,800
I can't comment. 
Not just that he's putting on my

987
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:40,600
next play. 
I'm sure he couldn't do such a 

988
00:50:40,608 --> 00:50:42,600
thing. 
You'll probably find out that 

989
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,300
the murderer is someone, you 
haven't even thought of yet. 

990
00:50:47,500 --> 00:50:50,800
I want to speak to Isabel alone.
Please do and you can't stop me 

991
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:52,300
drive. 
You don't get out of my house. 

992
00:50:52,300 --> 00:50:55,300
I'll have you thrown out Isabel,
perhaps. 

993
00:50:55,300 --> 00:50:58,800
This isn't the time. 
Oh, very well, I had something 

994
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,600
to tell your wife, something 
that might have saved you both 

995
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:04,800
some pain as it is. 
The hell. 

996
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:08,200
Would you drive me? 
What did he mean? 

997
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:10,900
I don't know. 
But I know I'm frightened Leo. 

998
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,600
He's just a damned fool besotted
with you. 

999
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:15,800
Only you talk to inspector 
Spears. 

1000
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:17,200
Tell him the truth. 
I'm not sure. 

1001
00:51:17,300 --> 00:51:19,900
I know what the truth is and 
tell him what, you know, I know 

1002
00:51:19,900 --> 00:51:21,600
you should never have got 
involved with that devil 

1003
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:23,800
Parsons. 
I wasn't involved with him, but 

1004
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:25,500
he's dead now, and I'm not 
sorry. 

1005
00:51:25,900 --> 00:51:27,700
Yeah, best thing that ever 
happened. 

1006
00:51:27,700 --> 00:51:29,900
I gladly shake the hand of the 
man who strangled him. 

1007
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:34,300
Higgins must have done it. 
Have you been playing the 

1008
00:51:34,300 --> 00:51:36,500
private? 
Detective guy I know where his 

1009
00:51:36,500 --> 00:51:39,000
lodging? 
It's an awful hole above a 

1010
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:40,900
greengrocers in Gentile. 
Street. 

1011
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:43,900
Earth, did you get the address 
the house superintendent? 

1012
00:51:43,900 --> 00:51:46,200
Secretary. 
She was too busy with a thousand

1013
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:47,600
other things to ask why I wanted
it. 

1014
00:51:47,700 --> 00:51:50,200
Don't you dare you? 
I've been down there Gentile 

1015
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:52,500
Street. 
I quizzed the greengrocers wife 

1016
00:51:52,500 --> 00:51:55,900
about Higgins. 
Apparently, he only goes out at 

1017
00:51:55,900 --> 00:51:58,600
night. 
I'd like to know where I hardly 

1018
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:00,700
dare ask, how you're going to 
find out. 

1019
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:03,300
I need to watch I've got the 
evening off. 

1020
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:05,900
I thought I'd spend it watching.
Higgins is window from a greasy 

1021
00:52:05,900 --> 00:52:08,800
Cafe across the road. 
I can get a perfect view rather 

1022
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:12,100
you than me. 
Don't get yourself arrested, 

1023
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:15,100
I'll try not to. 
I need company that would arouse

1024
00:52:15,100 --> 00:52:18,500
suspicion in a place like that. 
What I need is a tarred with a 

1025
00:52:18,500 --> 00:52:21,900
heart of gold and I know exactly
where to find her. 

1026
00:52:24,300 --> 00:52:27,600
But I'm desperate pad and Pat 
always said, you were such a 

1027
00:52:27,608 --> 00:52:30,300
nice young man. 
All you have to do is dress up 

1028
00:52:30,300 --> 00:52:32,300
slap on all that makeup. 
You got left over from the run 

1029
00:52:32,300 --> 00:52:34,900
of the Viennese hasar and 
chatter in a loud voice, just 

1030
00:52:34,900 --> 00:52:36,500
like me. 
Shut up top. 

1031
00:52:36,500 --> 00:52:39,000
See, pretend you're auditioning 
for one of Cochran's racier 

1032
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:41,100
reviews. 
I should be so lucky. 

1033
00:52:41,700 --> 00:52:44,200
Well as CB hasn't been in touch 
for ages. 

1034
00:52:44,700 --> 00:52:47,400
Of course, I'll do it guy but 
don't be mean. 

1035
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:50,900
Let's take Topsy with us. 
I'm not sure if you don't you're

1036
00:52:50,900 --> 00:52:54,800
a skunk and don't forget, I knew
Isabelle dry When she was just a

1037
00:52:54,808 --> 00:52:57,300
girl in the chorus like me. 
She was human. 

1038
00:52:57,300 --> 00:53:00,600
Then I'd like to help get her 
and her husband out of trouble 

1039
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:02,700
if I can. 
I don't know about two of you. 

1040
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:04,100
I'll guarantee to look after 
one. 

1041
00:53:04,100 --> 00:53:05,800
All right, but there's just a 
chance. 

1042
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:08,500
It might turn risky. 
Oh, come off it. 

1043
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:13,000
My middle names risky in tip at 
Whiskey and frisky and a little 

1044
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:17,900
drop of whiskey and the girl for
you, I can see, I don't know, 

1045
00:53:17,900 --> 00:53:21,200
we'll turn a policeman of yours 
subject to this. 

1046
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:24,000
He won't know. 
And I won't tell him Scotland 

1047
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,600
Yard needs a break through and 
we're going to provide it. 

1048
00:53:28,500 --> 00:53:31,500
Mr. Evans, I'm grateful. 
You asked for this interview. 

1049
00:53:31,500 --> 00:53:34,500
I've something vital to tell you
Spears holding the time. 

1050
00:53:35,500 --> 00:53:39,800
First of all I'd like to ask you
some questions that it will I 

1051
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:42,700
gather you were working late in 
your office on the night of the 

1052
00:53:42,700 --> 00:53:46,200
tragedy. 
I was, is that usual perfectly 

1053
00:53:46,500 --> 00:53:49,000
during the day, I'm liable to 
Perpetual interruptions. 

1054
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:51,900
I frequently returned to the BBC
after dinner and work in my 

1055
00:53:51,900 --> 00:53:56,200
office I see. 
Did you know Sydney Parsons 

1056
00:53:56,300 --> 00:53:58,600
never set eyes on the man. 
I'm mr. 

1057
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:00,700
Dryden. 
I hope the owner to be a friend 

1058
00:54:00,700 --> 00:54:02,100
of mrs. 
Dryden's. 

1059
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:04,700
That's why I wanted to see you. 
Do you know mr. 

1060
00:54:04,700 --> 00:54:07,600
Fleming I'm a demon cares off 
his conceited ass. 

1061
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:10,700
You don't like you, I don't 
dislike him no reason to accept 

1062
00:54:10,700 --> 00:54:12,900
he's achieved Fame by writing 
facile. 

1063
00:54:12,900 --> 00:54:17,500
Bad work as for the Scarlet. 
Highwomen cared has a weakness 

1064
00:54:17,500 --> 00:54:21,100
for that romantic to Sheree. 
When did you first hear of the 

1065
00:54:21,100 --> 00:54:22,900
tragedy? 
I met Kat on my way. 

1066
00:54:22,900 --> 00:54:25,500
Back from the canteen, I 
gathered something was wrong. 

1067
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:27,300
He was in an Old State even for 
him. 

1068
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:31,800
Inquiries at the reception desk 
I say and look, inspector 

1069
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:35,500
dryden's your man. 
That's a pretty serious 

1070
00:54:35,500 --> 00:54:37,000
accusation, mr. 
Evans. 

1071
00:54:37,100 --> 00:54:39,000
I don't give a damn how serious 
it is. 

1072
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:40,800
As I told you, I'm a friend of 
his wife's. 

1073
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:43,400
She's been good enough to ask me
to that flat on one or two 

1074
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:44,900
occasions. 
I don't quite see the road. 

1075
00:54:44,900 --> 00:54:47,800
Wait a minute, Dryden treats her
like dirt. 

1076
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,300
He didn't consider it jealous. 
Abominably. 

1077
00:54:50,300 --> 00:54:51,700
Rude to her in front of other 
people. 

1078
00:54:51,700 --> 00:54:54,300
He's just the type of man who 
could murder someone. 

1079
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:57,300
I'm afraid that's no proof of 
and what are these? 

1080
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:01,900
Gloves, I found these in a 
Cupboard used by the studio 

1081
00:55:01,900 --> 00:55:05,600
attendant Higgins. 
The cupboards just outside 7c, 

1082
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:08,100
your people probably didn't 
search it because when it's 

1083
00:55:08,100 --> 00:55:10,700
closed, it's flush with the 
wall, hardly noticeable. 

1084
00:55:11,900 --> 00:55:14,600
You're saying these gloves 
belong to Lee about driving? 

1085
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,500
Who else any actor in? 
London would confirm it. 

1086
00:55:17,500 --> 00:55:19,700
Look at the stitching, the 
scalloped risks. 

1087
00:55:20,100 --> 00:55:22,300
No one. 
But a far sir like dried will be

1088
00:55:22,300 --> 00:55:25,500
seen dead in a things. 
These are important evidence and

1089
00:55:25,500 --> 00:55:28,700
I'm grateful, you brought them 
to me my duty inspector, I'd 

1090
00:55:28,700 --> 00:55:31,400
been eating more grateful, 
still, if you'd pointed out the 

1091
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:34,900
cupboard and let the police find
them in the normal way, I 

1092
00:55:34,900 --> 00:55:37,800
shouldn't be too free and easy 
with your accusations against 

1093
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:39,200
mr. 
Dryden for that. 

1094
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:43,000
You need cast-iron proof and 
that's I'm looking for If You 

1095
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:46,700
Can't Hang Dryden without it. 
Then I'll find you cast-iron 

1096
00:55:46,700 --> 00:55:49,000
proof, inspector. 
I'll find it. 

1097
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:55,000
He can just coming out now 
heading for that Pub. 

1098
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:58,100
Oh this is just like the food, 
it's real life. 

1099
00:55:58,100 --> 00:56:01,200
Come on let's follow him and 
let's not be quiet about it. 

1100
00:56:01,300 --> 00:56:03,600
The louder, we are the less 
suspicious he'll be. 

1101
00:56:06,500 --> 00:56:11,400
So where are we Sergeant Wu 
Higgins, had opportunity and a 

1102
00:56:11,408 --> 00:56:15,400
possible motive. 
But with these gloves coming to 

1103
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:17,500
light, we may have to arrest 
Drytown. 

1104
00:56:17,500 --> 00:56:20,900
He certainly had opportunity and
I think the motive lies with his

1105
00:56:20,900 --> 00:56:24,900
wife and what about care. 
He had opportunity being on that

1106
00:56:24,900 --> 00:56:26,700
floor at just the right time, 
but no milk. 

1107
00:56:26,700 --> 00:56:30,100
If we can find Fleming, 
apparently didn't have the 

1108
00:56:30,100 --> 00:56:31,900
opportunity. 
Even though he was right on the 

1109
00:56:31,900 --> 00:56:36,100
spot but he knew Parsons heard 
there might be a motive to 

1110
00:56:36,300 --> 00:56:40,200
Uncovered at what about Isabel? 
Dryden. 

1111
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:42,600
Well, as you say, so, I think 
the motive for the murder lies 

1112
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:45,500
with her hip McDonald's swear, 
she never left the studio. 

1113
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:48,400
I've looked into his background 
and there's no reason not to 

1114
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:50,200
trust him. 
And what about that, piece of 

1115
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:53,400
paper? 
Yes, a burnt screw of paper with

1116
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:57,300
your darling Isabel written in 
Parsons handwriting. 

1117
00:56:57,900 --> 00:57:01,700
It's pretty damning, isn't it? 
If only we knew who it was 

1118
00:57:01,700 --> 00:57:05,800
addressed to dryden's, the 
obvious candidate for gonna be 

1119
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:10,500
this and then their Steward 
Evans who's obviously, madly in 

1120
00:57:10,500 --> 00:57:14,100
love with Isabel her. 
The moment about the only person

1121
00:57:14,100 --> 00:57:16,700
we can discount with any 
certainty, is young guy 

1122
00:57:16,700 --> 00:57:21,700
Bannister. 
What did you lightful evening 

1123
00:57:21,700 --> 00:57:25,500
from greasy Cafe to Smoky bar 
and tepid beer? 

1124
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:28,400
Sorry, girls, I'm afraid. 
I've LED you on a wild-goose 

1125
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:30,300
chase. 
It hasn't shifted from the bar 

1126
00:57:30,300 --> 00:57:33,000
since he got here, three large 
risk is already. 

1127
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:35,500
He'll pass out soon. 
It doesn't look as if he's going

1128
00:57:35,500 --> 00:57:38,100
anywhere. 
Does Yes, it does. 

1129
00:57:38,100 --> 00:57:40,400
He's putting on his hat. 
Oh, come on. 

1130
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:48,000
Let's see what he's up to now. 
Straight home. 

1131
00:57:48,100 --> 00:57:50,500
He doesn't behave like an evil 
criminal. 

1132
00:57:50,500 --> 00:57:53,300
Does he not much tucked up in 
bed by 11:00? 

1133
00:57:54,100 --> 00:57:56,900
He's left the door on the latch 
too drunk to lock it. 

1134
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,900
Look you girls, cut off home. 
I'll go up an interview mr. 

1135
00:57:59,900 --> 00:58:01,400
Higgins. 
What do you take us for? 

1136
00:58:02,900 --> 00:58:06,300
A couple of Arms from Children's
Hour, you go first and we'll 

1137
00:58:06,300 --> 00:58:10,500
follow, right? 
Okay, chief, let's get going. 

1138
00:58:14,900 --> 00:58:17,900
Don't follow me to close, and if
there's a real, don't imitate 

1139
00:58:17,900 --> 00:58:20,000
the pictures. 
Don't stand about watching, nip 

1140
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:25,300
out and call the police. 
Stale greens. 

1141
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:28,200
I remember that smell from Dixon
Norwich. 

1142
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:35,400
Come on. 
Can you hear anything? 

1143
00:58:36,700 --> 00:58:43,400
Not a thing conscious. 
Anyway, there's a light on his 

1144
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:50,200
door, I don't think. 
All right, Sergeant, you can 

1145
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:53,100
cover the body now, mr. 
Bannister ocean arrest. 

1146
00:58:53,100 --> 00:58:56,600
You on what charge, I can think 
of any number being a silly. 

1147
00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:59,100
Young fool comes first, guy's 
fault. 

1148
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:02,600
We were all in it together and I
should have you all arrested. 

1149
00:59:02,900 --> 00:59:05,800
What exactly happened? 
We were just outside the door 

1150
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:09,800
when we heard a shot, I burst in
and, and found Higgins. 

1151
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:13,300
This horrible, his head. 
I told you not to, look, I 

1152
00:59:13,300 --> 00:59:17,000
checked the room for, for, an 
intruder, the next moment to 

1153
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:19,500
policeman rushed in. 
Knows where they came from. 

1154
00:59:19,500 --> 00:59:21,500
We've been watching Higgins, 
since the murder. 

1155
00:59:21,500 --> 00:59:23,300
We're not complete fools 
Bannister. 

1156
00:59:23,500 --> 00:59:25,500
Then why didn't you stop another
murder? 

1157
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:29,300
I don't think it was murder. 
What did the note say? 

1158
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:31,500
Note there was a note on the 
mantelpiece. 

1159
00:59:32,100 --> 00:59:35,100
Suicide note, I suppose a 
confession, it's gone. 

1160
00:59:35,100 --> 00:59:37,100
Now, one of your chaps must've 
taken it. 

1161
00:59:37,300 --> 00:59:39,500
Observant. 
Are you in the circumstances? 

1162
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:42,700
Yes, we've got the note. 
It's evident and will keep its 

1163
00:59:42,700 --> 00:59:45,400
contents to ourselves for the 
moment guy. 

1164
00:59:45,700 --> 00:59:48,100
I didn't want to seem unbearably
wet, but do you think you could 

1165
00:59:48,100 --> 00:59:49,600
take? 
Take us home before I'm sick. 

1166
00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:52,600
Oh I'm sorry of course looks 
like the case is closed. 

1167
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:54,700
Anyway I'm not so sure about 
that. 

1168
00:59:55,100 --> 00:59:57,700
I don't think poor Higgins has 
sold anything with that. 

1169
00:59:57,700 --> 01:00:04,900
Bullet anything at all. 
Well, I'm sorry that was as much

1170
01:00:04,900 --> 01:00:07,400
of the inquest as I could bear. 
If I wasn't being put off my 

1171
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:10,700
lunch, you should have stayed a 
bit longer at Leo behaving, like

1172
01:00:10,700 --> 01:00:12,500
a lunatic. 
I left after that. 

1173
01:00:12,700 --> 01:00:15,900
Imagine still grinding on a row.
What have you ordered fried? 

1174
01:00:15,900 --> 01:00:19,200
Sole followed by lamb. 
Cutlets, not very original but 

1175
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:22,400
we'll serve it wouldn't look so 
damnably ostentatious, I'd stand

1176
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:24,300
as a bottle of champagne. 
I need it. 

1177
01:00:24,300 --> 01:00:27,000
But what did Leo say? 
I'm beginning to believe. 

1178
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:28,800
He's either frightened about 
something else. 

1179
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:32,100
We really did it. 
He pretended him to CD that 

1180
01:00:32,100 --> 01:00:34,000
evening. 
Remember anything much about it 

1181
01:00:34,500 --> 01:00:36,900
when he was asked, why he went 
up to the seventh floor for 

1182
01:00:36,900 --> 01:00:39,700
Fresh Air instead of going 
outside the studio tower on the 

1183
01:00:39,708 --> 01:00:42,400
six? 
He said I suppose subconsciously

1184
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:46,300
I thought it'd be fresher higher
up but I ask you. 

1185
01:00:46,500 --> 01:00:49,200
How did Isabel stand it hardly 
noticed? 

1186
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:50,800
I didn't like to look at that 
too much. 

1187
01:00:51,100 --> 01:00:53,700
Didn't want to embarrass her and
she sat through it. 

1188
01:00:53,700 --> 01:00:56,900
And as far as I could see, never
turned a hair and Leo was doing 

1189
01:00:56,900 --> 01:01:00,700
all his stuff, jaw, Thrust out, 
upper lip stiffened, one 

1190
01:01:00,700 --> 01:01:04,900
eyebrow, lifted all the time. 
Fix your fried salsa of thanks, 

1191
01:01:05,500 --> 01:01:09,400
especially Higgins inquest. 
Next suicide, while I Advance on

1192
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:13,500
my Natalie, in the person's 
condition, Higgins must have 

1193
01:01:13,500 --> 01:01:17,600
done, it then killed himself 
from remorse to easy Julian, 

1194
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:19,300
it's altogether too, easy. 
That's what. 

1195
01:01:19,300 --> 01:01:21,700
All this morning's papers were 
hinting at, of course, if the 

1196
01:01:21,700 --> 01:01:23,800
police want a solution at any 
price, it gives them a 

1197
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:28,600
convenient way out even after 
Leo's performance today, Julian,

1198
01:01:29,900 --> 01:01:33,400
your friend Bannister, I wonder 
if he's found Another dead body.

1199
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:35,000
He does seem to make a habit of 
it. 

1200
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:38,300
Julian, the inquest is just 
finished, and you're still at 

1201
01:01:38,300 --> 01:01:39,900
Liberty. 
I beg your pardon. 

1202
01:01:40,500 --> 01:01:45,000
I was just thinking, suppose you
murdered Parsons and Higgins. 

1203
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:47,300
Saw you. 
And you shot him last night 

1204
01:01:47,300 --> 01:01:50,300
before he could grass on you. 
Take no notice guy. 

1205
01:01:51,100 --> 01:01:53,700
What was the verdict? 
Oh, Murder By person or Persons 

1206
01:01:53,700 --> 01:01:55,100
Unknown. 
That's not the interesting bit. 

1207
01:01:55,600 --> 01:02:02,400
When Leo tried to leave, he was 
arrested Let me out of here. 

1208
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:04,800
I demand to speak to the 
commissioner. 

1209
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:07,200
I demand to see my son. 
Listen up. 

1210
01:02:07,500 --> 01:02:10,600
I may not have committed money 
yet but if you don't let me out,

1211
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:16,900
I swear I will do. 
So let me once I tell you God 

1212
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:22,100
God. 
Stop. 

1213
01:02:24,100 --> 01:02:27,900
I don't understand it guy. 
Spears seems to have disappeared

1214
01:02:27,900 --> 01:02:30,500
off the face of the earth. 
I could track him down. 

1215
01:02:30,700 --> 01:02:33,700
No, I think your days is a 
private detective and numbered, 

1216
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:37,400
but we have to find him somehow 
convince him that Leo couldn't 

1217
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:39,800
have done. 
It is me. 

1218
01:02:42,900 --> 01:02:46,700
The General. 
Yes, I see that. 

1219
01:02:47,300 --> 01:02:51,200
Yes, of course it right away, 
I'll bring balance to the wrong.

1220
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:56,500
Yes, goodbye. 
And that's the general, I 

1221
01:02:56,500 --> 01:02:59,700
gathered. 
Apparently inspector Spears is 

1222
01:02:59,700 --> 01:03:02,400
downstairs. 
He'd like us to join him. 

1223
01:03:04,300 --> 01:03:07,300
Come on kid, Bannister to your 
chair. 

1224
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:08,000
Thank you. 
Sir. 

1225
01:03:08,700 --> 01:03:11,100
Inspector Spears. 
Wanted the two of you in on 

1226
01:03:11,100 --> 01:03:13,400
this. 
Can't imagine why. 

1227
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:16,300
Now I want you both to 
understand. 

1228
01:03:16,300 --> 01:03:19,000
I do consider it. 
Your business to try and do the 

1229
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:23,000
job of the police. 
You've got plenty to do here. 

1230
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:27,800
I quite understand Bannister, no
more Mischief, no sir. 

1231
01:03:28,900 --> 01:03:33,100
I've got the note that was in 
Higgins, rum A Farewell message 

1232
01:03:33,100 --> 01:03:36,500
he left for his girlfriend Effie
Effie. 

1233
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:38,700
This is just a line to wish you 
good. 

1234
01:03:38,700 --> 01:03:41,100
Bye. 
And to say, I'm sorry for all 

1235
01:03:41,100 --> 01:03:44,500
the trouble and pain. 
I have caused you, loving you 

1236
01:03:44,500 --> 01:03:46,000
all the time. 
As I do. 

1237
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:51,400
I can't stick it any longer. 
They keep following me around 

1238
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:53,900
and the noises won't stop in my 
head. 

1239
01:03:54,900 --> 01:03:58,900
I'm not afraid of going out, but
I don't want people to think of 

1240
01:03:58,900 --> 01:04:03,500
how I might have killed that mr.
Parsons, you know, we'd agreed 

1241
01:04:03,500 --> 01:04:06,500
to meet that night. 
So please tell the police and 

1242
01:04:06,500 --> 01:04:10,900
let me go out with a clear name.
I can't think of more to say so 

1243
01:04:10,900 --> 01:04:15,100
will now draw to a close Joe for
devil. 

1244
01:04:17,100 --> 01:04:19,800
When I interviewed a few 
previously, she denied there 

1245
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:22,700
been any arrangement for her and
Higgins to meet that night. 

1246
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:26,400
Then later she confessed that 
Higgins had sent her down a note

1247
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:28,600
in the afternoon. 
Asking her to meet him in an 

1248
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:32,000
office on the seventh floor. 
He wants to talk things over but

1249
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:35,000
she was afraid of losing her 
job, so didn't go. 

1250
01:04:35,900 --> 01:04:38,300
There's no reason to disbelieve 
her story. 

1251
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:41,300
So now we've released her poor 
little beast. 

1252
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:43,700
You're not going to make her 
suffer for this. 

1253
01:04:43,700 --> 01:04:46,000
Are you sir? 
No certainly not. 

1254
01:04:46,900 --> 01:04:49,600
Mr. Bannister, I thought you'd 
like to hear that. 

1255
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:53,700
After all your efforts, I ought 
to be pretty angry with you, but

1256
01:04:53,700 --> 01:04:57,000
no real harm has been done. 
So we'll let it go at that. 

1257
01:04:57,300 --> 01:05:00,300
Thank you, inspector. 
So you think this puts Higgins 

1258
01:05:00,300 --> 01:05:01,900
out of the picture? 
I think so. 

1259
01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:05,800
One suspect less, that's all we 
get out of it. 

1260
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:08,100
But what about Dryden? 
Why on Earth? 

1261
01:05:08,100 --> 01:05:09,500
Have you arrested him? 
And I don't suppose the 

1262
01:05:09,500 --> 01:05:12,300
inspectors about to tell us. 
Well, I don't mind as long as 

1263
01:05:12,300 --> 01:05:16,800
you both keep it to yourselves. 
There are two reasons first, 

1264
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:19,500
there's a great deal of 
unpleasant evidence against mr. 

1265
01:05:19,500 --> 01:05:23,200
Dryden and secondly, I hope now 
he's been arrested. 

1266
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:26,400
He'll realize, he has to open 
his mouth and answer questions, 

1267
01:05:26,700 --> 01:05:30,400
drive-ins are stubborn devil. 
Inspector purse, her if he won't

1268
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:34,200
answer the questions, perhaps 
his wife will as a wall of 

1269
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:37,200
Silence covering those 2, and if
we can't break it down, I'll 

1270
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:39,100
begin to think that my instinct 
was wrong. 

1271
01:05:39,100 --> 01:05:41,900
Then privately, you don't 
believe Leo's guilty, I don't 

1272
01:05:42,300 --> 01:05:45,000
know. 
That's the other reason I was to

1273
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:47,800
see you kid. 
You're a friend of mrs. 

1274
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:51,400
Dryden's aren't you my hopes her
or talk to her. 

1275
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:54,700
See what you can do? 
You might tell her I've known 

1276
01:05:54,700 --> 01:05:57,400
men to be hanged on a darn sight
less evidence than there is 

1277
01:05:57,400 --> 01:05:59,800
against her husband. 
I know Rodney Fleming was going 

1278
01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:01,600
around today to try and cheer 
her up. 

1279
01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:05,000
I think I'll join him. 
Just hope I can get Isabel to 

1280
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:11,100
see sense. 
This room always sends a chill 

1281
01:06:11,100 --> 01:06:12,700
through me. 
Isabelle, got him, one of those,

1282
01:06:12,700 --> 01:06:16,300
modern designers, everything had
to be White Walls, cupboards 

1283
01:06:16,300 --> 01:06:20,000
table even damn dried flowers. 
He was even colder without Leo's

1284
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:22,900
personality about the place or 
what Leo's personalities 

1285
01:06:22,900 --> 01:06:24,200
everywhere. 
Look at the bookshelves 

1286
01:06:24,300 --> 01:06:26,900
straining under a dozen volumes 
of his cuttings, more to see 

1287
01:06:26,900 --> 01:06:29,800
Isabel have one rather pathetic 
scratch. 

1288
01:06:30,300 --> 01:06:32,100
She's coming. 
Perhaps it's time for a bit of 

1289
01:06:32,100 --> 01:06:34,500
Truth telling I'm afraid you've 
got a cold dinner. 

1290
01:06:34,900 --> 01:06:37,300
Yes Man, 7 walked out on me as 
soon as he heard about the 

1291
01:06:37,308 --> 01:06:39,700
arrest. 
Couldn't afford to be mixed up 

1292
01:06:39,700 --> 01:06:41,400
in this sort of thing in his 
profession. 

1293
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:43,700
Don't worry about food. 
We will take you out. 

1294
01:06:43,700 --> 01:06:46,800
Won't be Rodney, of course. 
I don't, I don't think I'll ever

1295
01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:48,600
be able to go out again. 
Rot. 

1296
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:51,200
I used to, like, people looking 
at me and restaurants knowing 

1297
01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:54,100
they were Whispering that's 
Isabelle, Palmer, you know, the 

1298
01:06:54,100 --> 01:06:57,700
girl, who married, Leo, Dryden. 
Now, they bring me up pretending

1299
01:06:57,700 --> 01:07:00,300
to be sympathetic and really 
only wanting to satisfy their 

1300
01:07:00,300 --> 01:07:04,100
odious curiosity. 
Look Isabel, can't you make Leo 

1301
01:07:04,100 --> 01:07:06,500
talk? 
What do you mean? 

1302
01:07:06,700 --> 01:07:09,700
Julian means the police only 
arrested him to try and break 

1303
01:07:09,700 --> 01:07:11,800
this stupid silence. 
What I can't bear is that. 

1304
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:14,900
I know, it's really my fault. 
What do you mean I hadn't lost 

1305
01:07:14,900 --> 01:07:16,600
my head? 
And showed him that silly letter

1306
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:18,700
from Parsons. 
No one would have believed he 

1307
01:07:18,700 --> 01:07:20,200
was guilty for a second. 
What letter? 

1308
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:22,900
It wasn't important. 
Just to stupid scribble. 

1309
01:07:23,900 --> 01:07:25,400
Neither of you believe he did 
it. 

1310
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:27,300
Do you know this inspector 
Spears? 

1311
01:07:27,300 --> 01:07:29,600
I'm sure he just wants to help 
you both. 

1312
01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:34,900
He's not a fool. 
Have I been a fool ring? 

1313
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:37,200
I don't know. 
Sir. 

1314
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:42,300
Are you covered yourself there? 
Have you got the transcript of 

1315
01:07:42,300 --> 01:07:44,000
Parsons death scene? 
Yes sir. 

1316
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:46,100
Read it to me. 
Would you? 

1317
01:07:46,500 --> 01:07:50,000
Oh well, I have to act it at 
all. 

1318
01:07:50,300 --> 01:07:53,400
Her dad just read it as it's 
written, huh? 

1319
01:07:54,900 --> 01:07:58,100
So you're here at last. 
Didn't I tell you? 

1320
01:07:58,100 --> 01:08:00,200
We get you one day. 
Didn't I? 

1321
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:02,300
Swear that day. 
You roll me over in the mud. 

1322
01:08:02,300 --> 01:08:05,000
That I'd be even with you yet. 
Good Heavens. 

1323
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:09,000
You know sir. 
Now I'm sorry ring do read it. 

1324
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:15,300
Exactly as it's written keep the
pauses in so you're here at 

1325
01:08:15,300 --> 01:08:17,300
last. 
Didn't I tell you? 

1326
01:08:17,300 --> 01:08:19,300
We get you one day. 
Didn't I? 

1327
01:08:19,300 --> 01:08:21,399
Swear that day. 
You rolled me over in the mud 

1328
01:08:21,399 --> 01:08:24,000
that I'd be even with you yet. 
Good. 

1329
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:31,399
Was you let me see it? 
I've been even with you yet, 

1330
01:08:31,700 --> 01:08:40,200
good. 
Evans, you Yes, I thought as 

1331
01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:46,300
much. 
All these questions you to is 

1332
01:08:46,300 --> 01:08:47,399
bad. 
Is the police? 

1333
01:08:47,399 --> 01:08:48,899
Don't you see how important it 
is? 

1334
01:08:48,899 --> 01:08:51,100
Must get to the bottom of Leo's 
Behavior? 

1335
01:08:51,100 --> 01:08:53,100
I don't think suspicion would 
have focused on him if he hadn't

1336
01:08:53,100 --> 01:08:56,200
been so stupid when he was first
questioned, you know what Leo's 

1337
01:08:56,200 --> 01:08:59,600
like Rodney damned awkward and 
he wants to be look here. 

1338
01:09:00,300 --> 01:09:03,100
We've been imagining Leo's kept 
silent for his own sake. 

1339
01:09:03,500 --> 01:09:06,000
I suppose you didn't shut up 
like a trap because he thought 

1340
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:07,899
you might be concerned in the 
murder as a bell. 

1341
01:09:08,500 --> 01:09:10,700
Tuvia on, Julian's. 
Got a point. 

1342
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:14,000
Leo wouldn't tell you that but 
it might be the Could you have 

1343
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:15,500
been out of the studio at the 
same time? 

1344
01:09:15,500 --> 01:09:20,399
He was I could but I wasn't Leo 
only had to ask Ian McDonald. 

1345
01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:23,200
He knew I wasn't out of the 
studio or leave Mark, but don't 

1346
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:26,800
you see if he does McDonald's 
and you had been out of the 

1347
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:28,800
studio. 
He'd drawn suspicion on you. 

1348
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:30,899
He couldn't risk that better to 
say nothing. 

1349
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:33,300
You must talk to him when you 
see him. 

1350
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:36,600
Oh God, probably those 
reporters. 

1351
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:38,300
Again the turn off the light. 
Julian. 

1352
01:09:38,700 --> 01:09:42,600
Look out the window. 
I can't see anyone. 

1353
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:45,300
It's a chaplain the BBC Stewart,
Heaven. 

1354
01:09:45,300 --> 01:09:48,600
What is he doing here? 
But the second he heard about 

1355
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:49,899
years arrest. 
He rang me up. 

1356
01:09:49,899 --> 01:09:52,500
I'm sure he did. 
You ran three times this 

1357
01:09:52,500 --> 01:09:54,100
afternoon? 
I get rid of him. 

1358
01:09:54,300 --> 01:09:56,600
Would you? 
I can't see him when I'm feeling

1359
01:09:56,600 --> 01:09:59,000
right now. 
Let me I know how to handle it 

1360
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:03,100
them's. 
And what business is it of yours

1361
01:10:03,100 --> 01:10:05,100
cared? 
I've been dining with Isabel 

1362
01:10:05,100 --> 01:10:06,700
naturally. 
She's feeling the strain of 

1363
01:10:06,700 --> 01:10:08,300
Leo's arrest. 
I'm leaving early for that. 

1364
01:10:08,300 --> 01:10:10,900
Very reason and you wish me to 
follow your example. 

1365
01:10:10,900 --> 01:10:13,200
Yes, my dear CAD I thought to 
myself. 

1366
01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:15,200
I've seen a good deal more of 
the world than you have. 

1367
01:10:15,500 --> 01:10:17,900
I think I can guarantee. 
Mrs. Dryden will appreciate a 

1368
01:10:17,908 --> 01:10:20,300
visit from me when she might 
find your Society. 

1369
01:10:20,300 --> 01:10:23,300
A little tedious that's enough. 
Don't push me. 

1370
01:10:23,300 --> 01:10:27,200
I was trying to be diplomatic. 
The truth is she doesn't want to

1371
01:10:27,200 --> 01:10:29,000
see you. 
I'll let her tell me that. 

1372
01:10:29,100 --> 01:10:30,800
Don't push me. 
I'm warning, you care. 

1373
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:33,400
If you're threatening, I've done
a good deal of boxing in my 

1374
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:43,600
time. 
Apparently there were scrapping 

1375
01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:45,400
right there in the street 
outside. 

1376
01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:47,800
Isabel dryden's flat. 
I never thought of Julian. 

1377
01:10:47,800 --> 01:10:50,900
Care does a very physical man 
Evans? 

1378
01:10:50,900 --> 01:10:54,100
Gave him a black eye. 
He says he gave Evans worse and 

1379
01:10:54,100 --> 01:10:56,700
all for the love of a lady. 
I don't know about that. 

1380
01:10:56,800 --> 01:11:00,200
I bet it was Isabel used to be 
sweet on a man called Evans when

1381
01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:02,200
we were touring together years 
ago. 

1382
01:11:03,500 --> 01:11:06,700
Good God. 
I'm sure his name was Evans. 

1383
01:11:06,900 --> 01:11:10,200
Stewart Evans. 
It might have been as far as I 

1384
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:11,900
can remember. 
We always called him by his 

1385
01:11:11,900 --> 01:11:15,200
surname. 
Don't know why, but this is 

1386
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:16,900
incredible. 
Why? 

1387
01:11:17,100 --> 01:11:21,100
Because Pat, if we can prove 
that Isabel new Evans years ago,

1388
01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:25,400
had an affair with him. 
I think Parsons was blackmailing

1389
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:28,800
her, maybe Evans was the reason 
for the blackmail, which play 

1390
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:30,700
was it. 
I'm not sure. 

1391
01:11:30,700 --> 01:11:32,900
Have you got some old programs, 
we can go through them. 

1392
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:36,300
I don't keep stuff like that, 
but I bet Isabel dos. 

1393
01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:40,000
Well, Topsy, tomorrow morning, 
you're going to Scotland Yard. 

1394
01:11:40,300 --> 01:11:45,900
We've got to tell Spears, So 
Julian was right, my darling. 

1395
01:11:45,900 --> 01:11:47,500
Yes, my beloved. 
Thank God. 

1396
01:11:47,500 --> 01:11:49,600
He persuaded me to come. 
Thank God. 

1397
01:11:49,900 --> 01:11:52,200
But how could you think I had 
anything to do with this 

1398
01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:55,300
horrible murder earlier? 
I know you're passionate nature 

1399
01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:59,700
onic. 
My love to think you endured 

1400
01:11:59,700 --> 01:12:02,000
these days in a prison cell for 
me. 

1401
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:05,100
I could do nothing else. 
Now you can tell inspector 

1402
01:12:05,100 --> 01:12:10,000
Spears what you know But I know 
nothing about the murder. 

1403
01:12:10,300 --> 01:12:14,000
Exactly, that's what you got to 
tell him. 

1404
01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:20,100
Ah, nice to meet you again under
less distracting circumstances, 

1405
01:12:20,100 --> 01:12:20,900
mr. 
Levine. 

1406
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:22,100
Thank you. 
Kind sir. 

1407
01:12:22,300 --> 01:12:24,900
Topsy has something vital to 
tell you, inspector, really? 

1408
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:26,500
You remember my ideas about 
Evan? 

1409
01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:31,900
If you would let Miss Levine do 
the talking Topsy and this isn't

1410
01:12:31,900 --> 01:12:35,000
one of those ideas. 
This is a fact gone. 

1411
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:39,400
Well, this little girl was on 
tour with Isabelle, Dryden. 

1412
01:12:39,700 --> 01:12:42,100
Isabelle Palmer. 
In those days, in a player 

1413
01:12:42,100 --> 01:12:45,400
called overseas, at least, I 
think it was overseas. 

1414
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:49,100
It was a What I glad I do know 
that and it was about the sea or

1415
01:12:49,100 --> 01:12:52,400
holidays, get to the meat of it,
Topsy, right? 

1416
01:12:52,600 --> 01:12:55,300
Well, I don't remember much. 
Of course you wouldn't expect me

1417
01:12:55,300 --> 01:12:57,900
to after all this time. 
Just tell me what you do. 

1418
01:12:57,900 --> 01:13:00,800
Remember Topsy, the roller of 
the Seas? 

1419
01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:02,600
That was it. 
I think. 

1420
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:07,400
Anyway, I was the lowest of the 
low assistant stage manager, but

1421
01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:11,100
I got to see things and I do 
remember Isabel was having an 

1422
01:13:11,100 --> 01:13:13,200
affair with another member of 
the company. 

1423
01:13:13,500 --> 01:13:15,800
At least, there was a lot of 
talk and his name. 

1424
01:13:15,900 --> 01:13:20,300
Name was Evans evidence. 
There you are and he's still in 

1425
01:13:20,300 --> 01:13:23,200
love with Isabel, but why murder
possums? 

1426
01:13:23,300 --> 01:13:27,700
Well, when I really thought 
about it I could swear that man 

1427
01:13:27,700 --> 01:13:30,000
Parsons was in the company as 
well. 

1428
01:13:30,300 --> 01:13:33,500
Are you sure? 
This is desperately important is

1429
01:13:33,500 --> 01:13:36,100
Parsons knew about the affair. 
He could have been blackmailing 

1430
01:13:36,100 --> 01:13:38,400
both Isabel and Evans it, to be 
honest. 

1431
01:13:38,900 --> 01:13:42,500
The more I thought about it last
night, these are it was to think

1432
01:13:42,500 --> 01:13:45,800
it was another name, not 
Parsons, but all you have. 

1433
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:48,600
To do is get hold of one of 
Isabel's old programs, it'll be 

1434
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:50,200
on that. 
She's just the sort to keep all 

1435
01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:51,300
her old stuff. 
Yes. 

1436
01:13:51,300 --> 01:13:54,200
I know that very well but thank 
you, Topsy. 

1437
01:13:54,500 --> 01:14:00,400
Oh, oh, this isn't waves. 
That was it. 

1438
01:14:00,500 --> 01:14:03,900
Uh-huh. 
Oh yeah, thank you both. 

1439
01:14:03,900 --> 01:14:06,200
Can you see yourselves out? 
You'll keep me informed of 

1440
01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:07,700
what's going on, inspector? 
Oh yes. 

1441
01:14:07,700 --> 01:14:10,400
I think I can promise you'll be 
in on the kill mr. 

1442
01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:20,700
Bannister. 
Bring I guess, had a very 

1443
01:14:20,700 --> 01:14:23,000
interesting chat with mr. 
Bannister. 

1444
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:26,700
And his Charming, young friend. 
I think we should pay another 

1445
01:14:26,700 --> 01:14:28,900
visit to mrs. 
Dryden. 

1446
01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:35,000
Why haven't you let you go? 
Because though he's now talking.

1447
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:37,000
He's not saying anything that 
helps his case. 

1448
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:39,300
He knows nothing. 
That's probably true. 

1449
01:14:39,300 --> 01:14:41,900
This is driving and I can 
promise you, we're doing all we 

1450
01:14:41,900 --> 01:14:44,700
can to find the real murderer. 
Thank you. 

1451
01:14:45,700 --> 01:14:48,400
I wonder if my sergeant and I 
could examine some of the books 

1452
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:50,000
on your shelves. 
Oh God. 

1453
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:52,400
Are you pretending? 
You want to help you and then 

1454
01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:54,000
looking for evidence against 
you. 

1455
01:14:54,100 --> 01:14:56,100
I promise you. 
We are not doing that. 

1456
01:14:56,100 --> 01:14:59,300
I can get a warrant if necessary
but the sooner we find what 

1457
01:14:59,300 --> 01:15:01,000
we're looking for. 
The sooner, your husband. 

1458
01:15:01,200 --> 01:15:05,700
Be free. 
I'll be in my bedroom lying 

1459
01:15:05,700 --> 01:15:08,100
down, call me when you're 
finished. 

1460
01:15:10,900 --> 01:15:14,300
She can suddenly flash those 
blue eyes conscious a ring. 

1461
01:15:14,300 --> 01:15:18,300
I didn't know you were 
susceptible right on these the 

1462
01:15:18,300 --> 01:15:20,800
books. 
No those are drivers cuttings in

1463
01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:26,200
all their Glory know where after
that slim scrapbook. 

1464
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:36,200
Yeah let's see. 
No I have to stop this must be 

1465
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:40,600
it go as you please, of course, 
a farce in three Acts. 

1466
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:44,100
Assistant stage manager, Topsy 
Levine. 

1467
01:15:44,100 --> 01:15:47,700
There's Isabelle Palmer as The 
Honorable Enid faversham and 

1468
01:15:47,700 --> 01:15:52,600
yes, Sydney Parsons as Sam 
Buckley jockey most out of 

1469
01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:54,500
Stewart Evans in the cast. 
No. 

1470
01:15:54,500 --> 01:15:59,000
Nope, but there is Evans. 
The buckler played by Philip 

1471
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:01,100
Nelson in the world. 
Well let's see what his 

1472
01:16:01,100 --> 01:16:08,400
photograph looks like. 
Well, I'm damned and so is he? 

1473
01:16:09,500 --> 01:16:12,500
I think it's time to gather the 
cast together, a broadcasting 

1474
01:16:12,500 --> 01:16:16,900
house. 
Thank you, gentlemen for 

1475
01:16:16,900 --> 01:16:20,800
agreeing to come here tonight. 
Agreeing ordered more like what 

1476
01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:23,000
Dryden doing here. 
It's good to see you. 

1477
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:25,900
Leo, I know, Julian when my 
innocence has been fully 

1478
01:16:25,900 --> 01:16:28,500
established, then I'll be 
delighted to shake your hand. 

1479
01:16:28,500 --> 01:16:31,000
I'm afraid just rather a tight 
squeeze in here, but I wanted 

1480
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:32,700
you all in the drama control 
room. 

1481
01:16:32,900 --> 01:16:35,300
So we could hear the murder over
the speaker. 

1482
01:16:35,300 --> 01:16:37,600
What actually is the point of 
all this inspector. 

1483
01:16:37,600 --> 01:16:39,600
Is this really necessary? 
I think so mr. 

1484
01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:44,700
Cared, Sergeant ring will play 
the murderer and Bannister will 

1485
01:16:44,700 --> 01:16:46,500
play pass. 
Some like advantage to play 

1486
01:16:46,500 --> 01:16:47,800
Parsons when he might have done 
it. 

1487
01:16:47,800 --> 01:16:51,900
I didn't intend to discuss it 
Bannister is already waiting in 

1488
01:16:51,900 --> 01:16:54,900
7c, ring disappear for the 
moment. 

1489
01:16:54,900 --> 01:16:58,900
Sir, by the time we finished, 
we'll find bring exactly where 

1490
01:16:58,900 --> 01:17:02,000
the murderer was. 
I think everything will at last 

1491
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:05,200
be made, clear, like, all these 
methods of Marik and positively 

1492
01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:06,700
a Mary. 
What would you know about? 

1493
01:17:06,700 --> 01:17:09,200
Had to downsize? 
My name was just ending when the

1494
01:17:09,200 --> 01:17:10,800
light failed. 
Is that correct? 

1495
01:17:10,800 --> 01:17:13,600
Mr. Kerr. 
Yes, I jumped out of my chair 

1496
01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:16,100
and dash down to six. 
A And at that moment, the 

1497
01:17:16,100 --> 01:17:20,400
murderer was silently opening. 
The door of studio 7c and 

1498
01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:24,300
creeping up behind Sydney 
Parsons his gloved hands at the 

1499
01:17:24,300 --> 01:17:27,100
ready. 
So you're here at last. 

1500
01:17:27,500 --> 01:17:29,100
Didn't I tell you? 
We'd get you one day. 

1501
01:17:29,500 --> 01:17:30,500
Didn't I? 
Swear that day. 

1502
01:17:30,500 --> 01:17:32,700
You wrote me over in the mud. 
That I'd be even with the 

1503
01:17:32,700 --> 01:17:35,100
essence turns, sees his 
attacker. 

1504
01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:40,200
Good Heavens. 
You my God is a frame-up, you've

1505
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:43,000
twisted the meaning. 
Now the murderer, takes the 

1506
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:45,200
unmistakable gloves, belonging 
to Leo. 

1507
01:17:45,300 --> 01:17:48,100
Dryden and tosses them into 
Higgins. 

1508
01:17:48,100 --> 01:17:51,400
Opened covered, slamming the 
door behind him, hoping they'll 

1509
01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:55,700
be found meanwhile cared as 
re-crossed the listening Ron and

1510
01:17:55,700 --> 01:17:59,400
his back here in a moment. 
That's how it was death. 

1511
01:18:00,100 --> 01:18:01,800
So we've Rings playing the 
murderer. 

1512
01:18:01,800 --> 01:18:04,000
Where is he? 
But if you'll follow me 

1513
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:12,900
gentleman, I'll show you So 
where is ring to be found back 

1514
01:18:12,900 --> 01:18:16,100
in the dramatic control panel 
room or in mr. 

1515
01:18:16,100 --> 01:18:20,800
Stewart Evans office? 
In studio 6A or perhaps in The 

1516
01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:24,700
Listening Room, attached to 
Studio. 6A play acting is 

1517
01:18:24,700 --> 01:18:26,900
getting a little tedious. 
Who dies isn't the word? 

1518
01:18:26,900 --> 01:18:28,900
I call it. 
Damn sadism mr. 

1519
01:18:28,900 --> 01:18:31,200
Cairo, get it over with 
inspector, please. 

1520
01:18:31,200 --> 01:18:34,900
Very well mr. 
Fleming, would you open the door

1521
01:18:34,900 --> 01:18:39,700
of the six a Listening Room? 
Well, how nursed you open it it?

1522
01:18:39,700 --> 01:18:46,600
Well, Yes, George, thank you. 
That seems sounds fine to me, 

1523
01:18:47,300 --> 01:18:49,600
and mr. 
Fleming butts down the 

1524
01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:54,800
telephone. 
I'm sorry, inspector, I don't 

1525
01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:56,900
understand. 
As you can see, I was on the 

1526
01:18:56,900 --> 01:19:00,100
phone to my brother, discussing 
the rewrite of my play, but I 

1527
01:19:00,100 --> 01:19:01,900
can hardly be in two places at 
once. 

1528
01:19:01,900 --> 01:19:05,300
But you can you weren't 
discussing anything with your 

1529
01:19:05,300 --> 01:19:10,800
brother, a precisely 10:00. 
He put a call through to you and

1530
01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:15,000
you asked him to read without 
Stopping the entire three pages 

1531
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:18,800
of Rewritten dialogue. 
When the BBC telephonist checked

1532
01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:22,800
the call, she heard conversation
and assumed to people were 

1533
01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:26,800
talking as you meant her to at 
my request. 

1534
01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:29,600
Your brother was kind enough to 
post me a copy of the rewrite 

1535
01:19:29,700 --> 01:19:34,300
I've timed it. 
The scene lasts almost exactly 

1536
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:40,600
six minutes and during those six
minutes you crept into 7c and 

1537
01:19:40,600 --> 01:19:44,200
murdered Sydney Park. 
So this can't be true, why not? 

1538
01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:47,000
Just because he went to the 
right school, be quiet Evans. 

1539
01:19:47,100 --> 01:19:51,000
And my motive, some years ago, 
you took with his Abode Ridin in

1540
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:53,900
a play and had a passionate 
Affair. 

1541
01:19:54,600 --> 01:19:59,500
Your part was that of Evans, the
butler, it was also your 

1542
01:19:59,500 --> 01:20:02,000
nickname. 
The name Parsons remembered you 

1543
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:05,000
by. 
He was blackmailing Isabel about

1544
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:08,300
the affair soon. 
He might turn on the promising. 

1545
01:20:08,300 --> 01:20:12,000
Playwright even in these days of
loose morals, such an affair. 

1546
01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:16,200
He frowned on might damage your 
career and your career is 

1547
01:20:16,200 --> 01:20:18,500
desperately important to you, 
isn't it mr. 

1548
01:20:18,500 --> 01:20:22,500
Fleming and Isabel's happiness, 
I'm sorry.

for her after all these years 
but you kill a man. 

1551
01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:29,900
Well, I thought I couldn't at 
first but I managed it and I'll 

1552
01:20:29,900 --> 01:20:32,500
do it again. 
If I have to Lonnie, don't be an

1553
01:20:32,508 --> 01:20:34,800
idiot to come Freight. 
It gone, far beyond idiots now 

1554
01:20:34,800 --> 01:20:36,300

mr. 

1555
01:20:36,300 --> 01:20:39,800
Fleming don't move, God moves, 
I'll shoot him. 

1556
01:20:40,100 --> 01:20:42,100
How did it go over?

01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:45,700

He's heading for the tower. 

1559
01:20:49,400 --> 01:20:52,800
Hey can stay here. 
He's a friend of mine. 

1560

Probably stop, you can't get 
away, watch out your him. 

1561
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:04,700

that window of the roof.

01:21:09,900 --> 01:21:11,500
Can he get away? 
I don't know. 

1564
01:21:11,700 --> 01:21:14,100

want to give the better chance 

1565
01:21:14,100 --> 01:21:16,300

Not much. 

1568
01:21:19,600 --> 01:21:21,500
Just the towers of the 
experimental transmitter. 

1569
01:21:21,700 --> 01:21:24,300
It's a bit like a mountain with 
a precipice on each side, right?

1570
01:21:24,300 --> 01:21:26,200
Then I better get after it. 
About his gun. 

1571
