1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000 Here's 2 00:00:07,359 --> 00:00:13,160 to Joe Stalin's next stroke. Tinker tong. 3 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,856 Who was he? Victor all met me for an air raid. 41. 4 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:25,137 It is true. I switched the glasses. He drank the poison meant for one of us. 5 00:00:25,161 --> 00:00:30,017 Nafia and Ru here. We'd be ever so grateful if you'd just keep an eye on 6 00:00:30,041 --> 00:00:34,297 them. This was the third attempt on our life since we left New York. 7 00:00:34,321 --> 00:00:39,657 The first thing you must do is arrest that cocktail waiter and you must bring 8 00:00:39,681 --> 00:00:43,157 in any others on the staff. You have a reservation? 9 00:00:43,181 --> 00:00:45,640 Uh, no. My wife doesn't. You're 10 00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:49,336 time for a little chat. What does Jack know? 11 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:54,535 My wife and I have an arrangement that I knew his late father. Nothing more. 12 00:00:54,559 --> 00:00:59,416 And should we trust you? Well, I suppose you'll find out. 13 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,399 When the next assassin comes. 14 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:31,080 Hello again. Hello Fizz for them. My Brazil. 15 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,799 Who is it? It's me. 16 00:01:51,119 --> 00:01:54,119 Champagne. 17 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,119 We did not order champagne. 18 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,239 Who am 19 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,200 head. 20 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,599 One more step. 21 00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:54,280 Well, let's all calm down, should we? Heat. Heat. N. 22 00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:15,959 Heat. Heat. 23 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,855 Bloody hell, that hurts. You okay? 24 00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:03,415 You shut up, you bloody cop, the lunatic. I thought you had the gun. It 25 00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:08,696 was a champagne bottle. Oh god. 26 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,936 Am I going to die? It's just the grace. 27 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:16,137 Luckily for you, your role, Highness, this is a very, very regrettable 28 00:04:16,161 --> 00:04:18,137 incident, Miss Edie. Rattle. 29 00:04:18,161 --> 00:04:22,137 Miss Edy, we live under the constant threat of assassination. The black 30 00:04:22,161 --> 00:04:26,816 mantle of death hovers over us like the London fog. Sometimes we make mistakes 31 00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:30,217 out of fear. You must forgive us. Oh, you shouldn't forgive them. You 32 00:04:30,241 --> 00:04:33,737 should press charges. Don't tell me what to do. Okay, I've had 33 00:04:33,761 --> 00:04:37,577 enough of it. I've simply had enough of it. We understand, dear. 34 00:04:37,601 --> 00:04:41,337 Do you? Because I've just ended a ship that started with a pass and ended with 35 00:04:41,361 --> 00:04:42,857 me getting fired. Fired? 36 00:04:42,881 --> 00:04:47,257 You haven't handed my cards, haven't I? What? Why? What for? 37 00:04:47,281 --> 00:04:49,256 Because someone sabotaged the boilers, tipped 38 00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:51,977 linseed oil into them. Yeah, but why would they think that 39 00:04:52,001 --> 00:04:55,017 that's you? I have a motive. Mr. Klein gave me a 40 00:04:55,041 --> 00:04:59,417 mouthful for standing up to that bastard. Now I've been shot. Please 41 00:04:59,441 --> 00:05:00,897 shot. What's that? 42 00:05:00,921 --> 00:05:04,137 Morphin tartrate. I'm not going to have you jabbing me like a bloody pin 43 00:05:04,161 --> 00:05:07,937 cushion. It will ease your pain. I'll live. And if you do think that I'm 44 00:05:07,961 --> 00:05:10,977 just going to hop on the night bus and say, "Oh, it must be beastly that your 45 00:05:11,001 --> 00:05:14,337 country hates your guts and you're forced to slum it out here in the wall." 46 00:05:14,361 --> 00:05:18,777 Well, think again, ladies. No wonder you're so nervous around the 47 00:05:18,801 --> 00:05:22,797 working classes. You damn a lot ought to be. 48 00:05:22,821 --> 00:05:24,840 I'll have that Morphe now. 49 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:31,816 Ow. So, dear Rattle, what do you suggest? 50 00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:34,897 I'll stay here tonight in the royal suite. 51 00:05:34,921 --> 00:05:38,057 There are only two beds. Then I'll have the biggest and I'll have 52 00:05:38,081 --> 00:05:40,937 breakfast in it. I think that's a very modest demand 53 00:05:40,961 --> 00:05:45,097 considering the bullets in the wall. I know the importance of the rules of 54 00:05:45,121 --> 00:05:47,537 hospitality in your country. I've been reading up on them. 55 00:05:47,561 --> 00:05:52,857 That's right, Mr. Book. At home, we are obliged to take in those who need 56 00:05:52,881 --> 00:05:58,217 shelter. During the war, many British officers were parachuted into our 57 00:05:58,241 --> 00:06:02,297 territory. None were betrayed. I'll sleep on the sofa 58 00:06:02,321 --> 00:06:06,919 right now. Which one of you is lending me your toothbrush? 59 00:06:15,039 --> 00:06:19,797 I'll get someone to come and have a look at this. 60 00:06:19,821 --> 00:06:21,800 It's good to see you, Jack. 61 00:06:30,479 --> 00:06:34,615 We lost him. We never really knew him. Of 62 00:06:34,639 --> 00:06:38,857 course, it was impossible to predict how he'd react, but I was hoping for 63 00:06:38,881 --> 00:06:41,416 sympathy. Understanding. 64 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:46,577 That's just the way it is with some people. They get down on a thing when 65 00:06:46,601 --> 00:06:50,497 they don't know nothing about it. Huckleberry Finn. 66 00:06:50,521 --> 00:06:54,776 Top marks. You can sleep on the left. I like that Edy. She's sharp. 67 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,776 Sharp as her nibs. The princess. 68 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,615 Busy day tomorrow. Bliss has arrested Gazili. 69 00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:05,816 Oh, it's a mistake. So, I suspect I'll spend 70 00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:08,856 the morning showing him why. Clever clogs. 71 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,575 If the shoe fits. Oh, it's the dynamic Alps, by the way. Hey, 72 00:07:13,599 --> 00:07:17,015 it's the Daric Alps, my love, not the Carpathians. 73 00:07:17,039 --> 00:07:21,639 As I said, cleft blocks. 74 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,599 Book. Inspector 75 00:07:54,319 --> 00:07:57,319 now 76 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:19,096 finished with that mag sergeant. Bagged and labeled, sir. We'll return it 77 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,479 in due course. Take a seat. 78 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,897 Are you going to charge me? Oh, there's plenty of time for that. 79 00:08:29,921 --> 00:08:32,297 I've said it all already. It's in my 80 00:08:32,321 --> 00:08:35,575 statement. Oh, just one thing before we start. Uh, 81 00:08:35,599 --> 00:08:39,895 Mr. Book here will be joining us. He's a specialist. 82 00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:44,777 Mr. Gazili, it's very important that you use this interview to tell us the truth. 83 00:08:44,801 --> 00:08:49,137 Cuz if you don't, I can't be held accountable for the consequences. 84 00:08:49,161 --> 00:08:54,857 We know about your affair with Edy Rattle. She's given us a statement and 85 00:08:54,881 --> 00:08:59,857 in doing so has given us a a possible motive, a reason for you to kill Captain 86 00:08:59,881 --> 00:09:05,736 because he made a pass at Idi. It must happen like three times a day. 87 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:11,255 What business are you in exactly? The antiquarium book business. 88 00:09:11,279 --> 00:09:14,375 I've read the canoe of Scutari. Have you? 89 00:09:14,399 --> 00:09:20,856 I know it. Live by it. It was very important to my village. 90 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,856 Let's start then. If I said we were going to give you the 91 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,217 third degree, what would you expect? Like kicking out by the beans. 92 00:09:29,241 --> 00:09:31,297 Snake in the grass. What did you say? 93 00:09:31,321 --> 00:09:35,959 Forget the third degree. Snake in the grass. Come on. I'm waiting. 94 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,136 Vodka at last. 95 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:45,896 Creme dement. Lime juice. Uh, lemonade. Where's my ice? It went in first. 96 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,536 Are you shaking this drink? Come on. Come on, Mr. Gazidi. This is 97 00:09:50,560 --> 00:09:53,816 the Wals singing. Are you shaking this drink? 98 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,656 I'm stirring it. I'm stirring it. At a boy. 99 00:09:56,680 --> 00:10:02,536 At a boy. I know that. French vermouth, dry gin, grenadine, four dashes shaken. 100 00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:06,839 And what would you put in a pansy? 101 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,776 Um, anet. No, no, no. Mr. Gazili, 102 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,536 look, I'm still on probation. I'm not an expert. 103 00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:20,376 I'd say you're not, but nor are you a murderer. 104 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:25,177 Well, what what what makes you say that? Because he left a dirty great 105 00:10:25,201 --> 00:10:29,897 fingerprint on the upper part of one of those glasses. And a good cocktail 106 00:10:29,921 --> 00:10:36,337 waiter, as well as knowing how to mix a third degree always handles a rock glass 107 00:10:36,361 --> 00:10:40,217 lower down. You made the drink for the captain, which is when you left your 108 00:10:40,241 --> 00:10:45,057 fingerprint on his glass. But the drink was not deadly. I'm sorry if this sounds 109 00:10:45,081 --> 00:10:49,617 insulting, Mr. Gazili, but you have yet to acquire the skill to poison anyone in 110 00:10:49,641 --> 00:10:53,577 a crowded bar in plain sight, particularly with just a few seconds 111 00:10:53,601 --> 00:10:58,777 between the inciting incident and the crime. But I'm sure you'll get there. In 112 00:10:58,801 --> 00:11:03,177 fact, I'd go so far as to say you were already a model employee. 113 00:11:03,201 --> 00:11:06,697 You're going to write me a reference now, are you? 114 00:11:06,721 --> 00:11:10,217 Why not? How long have the princesses been in the hotel? 115 00:11:10,241 --> 00:11:16,376 4 days. And you'd already noticed they always reject the first drink, so you 116 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,497 made it out of tap water. Yes. Some employers would promote a 117 00:11:20,521 --> 00:11:24,839 member of staff so concerned about wastage. 118 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:31,096 Well, Mr. Gazily, seems like you can uh go and collect 119 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:36,136 your things. Yeah. Uh our friend here is uh checking out. Sergeant Morris. 120 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,680 Very good, sir. 121 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,536 Well, now what? Anyone could have got that hydrochloric 122 00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:55,017 acid into the drink. And Gazili was too clumsy to have done 123 00:11:55,041 --> 00:11:58,296 it. As I discovered late last night, the. 124 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:03,495 Canoon of Scotari has very strict rules about hospitality. It's taboo to harm 125 00:12:03,519 --> 00:12:08,937 anyone you consider your guest. Captain No was Gazil's guest, strictly speaking, 126 00:12:08,961 --> 00:12:13,496 and the canon is very strict. Did it Did it tell you anything else 127 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,935 useful? Oh, yes. Insult my wife in front of the 128 00:12:16,959 --> 00:12:23,096 headman of the village and you owe me a sheep. If my wife insults you, I owe you 129 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,120 five. 130 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:33,720 Well, I find it's usually best if just people are just nice to each other. 131 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,337 You were not in the army, were you? You know where I was. 132 00:13:16,361 --> 00:13:20,177 Well, no matter. Straight in your spine, perhaps. 133 00:13:20,201 --> 00:13:25,417 At the palace, a line of soldiers would salut us just on our way into breakfast. 134 00:13:25,441 --> 00:13:31,256 Oh, lucky. You might have fallen. And back then, we weren't always looking 135 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,936 over our shoulders. We were at home with our own people. 136 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,917 You boy, you must fetch the inspector. Why? What's happened? 137 00:13:37,941 --> 00:13:39,959 Another threatening letter. 138 00:13:42,560 --> 00:13:47,000 They got you. No. No. 139 00:13:48,079 --> 00:13:53,096 Well, you've done all right. They ordered in. No less than I deserve. 140 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:57,175 Sure enough. Balcon mixed apparently. Nice. 141 00:13:57,199 --> 00:14:00,497 See those little girl rings at the end there? 142 00:14:00,521 --> 00:14:03,897 I'm a caps that man myself. Weren't you supposed to bring me for 143 00:14:03,921 --> 00:14:06,637 that barrel? Well, I thought you had everything you 144 00:14:06,661 --> 00:14:08,279 needed here. 145 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,399 It's a bit rich for my blood. 146 00:14:16,959 --> 00:14:20,817 So, where was Miss Ed Rattle when the murder took place? 147 00:14:20,841 --> 00:14:24,777 Uh, having a wood pine outside according to a statement. Having already 148 00:14:24,801 --> 00:14:28,017 administered the poison meant for the princesses. 149 00:14:28,041 --> 00:14:31,777 According to my intelligence sources, she's a fully paid up party member. 150 00:14:31,801 --> 00:14:34,297 Communist, read as Lenin's combinations. 151 00:14:34,321 --> 00:14:37,737 What? So, she might have wanted them dead 152 00:14:37,761 --> 00:14:41,017 on behalf of the new ruling class of Qatari. 153 00:14:41,041 --> 00:14:43,936 Then there's the other sister, of course. 154 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,537 Other sister? Oh, yes. There are three of them, 155 00:14:47,561 --> 00:14:51,880 Inspector. Three sisters. 156 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:58,696 The kingdom divided, exiled monarchs, I wonder. 157 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,136 Anyway, Princess Sier went over to the other side. 158 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:07,497 So, it could be her striking over the workers by assassinating the siblings. 159 00:15:07,521 --> 00:15:13,720 This is where we should be looking in my opinion. Shop. 160 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:20,136 Yes. He liked the ladies, didn't he? Captain Hall. 161 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:25,016 It's not how I would have put it. Still 162 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,216 at least we have his home number now. No. 163 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,217 Yes. This must be his wife. Sylvia. What do you know? 164 00:15:32,241 --> 00:15:35,736 She's the only one without a star rating. 165 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:40,216 Yeah. Well, there's another familiar name in there, too. 166 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,896 Oh, as you say, sir. Oh, 167 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:49,096 and Barbarini. 2nd of May 1940. Ascot race course. Four stars, passionate 168 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:53,096 Italians, crossed out, but still legible. 169 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:58,217 What do you mean? Obvious, isn't it? Captain Orin, just 170 00:15:58,241 --> 00:16:02,055 like the ladies. He was a bit queer. What you mean? 171 00:16:02,079 --> 00:16:07,896 He traveled, as it were, on the 38 bus and the 43. He met that Italian barman 172 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:12,216 at the races and had relations. It's all there in black and white. 173 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:16,057 Met at the races. Eh, Ascot raceourse. There is entry after 174 00:16:16,081 --> 00:16:18,577 entry. What motive? 175 00:16:18,601 --> 00:16:22,897 Black male. Obviously, Captain threatened to expose Barbarini. 176 00:16:22,921 --> 00:16:28,777 Captain O's a married man. It's all a bit It's a bit farfetched. 177 00:16:28,801 --> 00:16:34,136 You never know with married men, sir. What's your great theory then? 178 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:38,696 That would be telling, Sergeant. But speaking of Mrs. O, I do think 179 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:43,735 someone should talk to her soon. I'll ask Trotty if I may. 180 00:16:43,759 --> 00:16:48,375 Wives always know. Whatever husbands think. Message from 181 00:16:48,399 --> 00:16:55,320 that lad, Jack. Sir, princesses are requesting another audience. 182 00:16:59,519 --> 00:17:02,055 A Winston Churchill mask. No. 183 00:17:02,079 --> 00:17:08,136 An Ora flying helmet. A pick a lily jar filled entirely with toenail clippings. 184 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,295 Oh yeah. It's not for the faint of heart. 185 00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:18,055 The life of a chambermaid, but my dad ran a pub in Bala, so 186 00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:23,815 I've seen it all. And what about the murder? 187 00:17:23,839 --> 00:17:28,295 I know. I was outside. You see, you can't pin Victor or on me. 188 00:17:28,319 --> 00:17:33,576 I wasn't trying to. Honest. Pity I wasn't there, though. 189 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,256 I would have liked to see that one go down. 190 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:42,616 So, you were saying you got out of the clink and then you went to work in a 191 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,535 bookshop. Yeah. 192 00:17:44,559 --> 00:17:47,336 For Mr. Book. Yeah. 193 00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:51,496 And now you're working for the Qatari royal family. 194 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:58,136 Not for much longer, I don't reckon. I ain't much cop as a bodyguard. 195 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,736 Got anything by marks? Hey, 196 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:07,176 in your bookshop, D Capel, 197 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,015 volume four. Now you're talking. 198 00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:14,817 So, why'd you leave? I just don't think they're my sort of 199 00:18:14,841 --> 00:18:16,696 people. No. 200 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:24,136 Takes all sorts, you know. As I say, the things I've seen in the Wingham. 201 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:28,535 Maybe it's time you expanded your horizons a bit, sunshine. 202 00:18:28,559 --> 00:18:33,640 Let me know if you fancy that part for us sometime. Yeah, 203 00:18:53,919 --> 00:18:59,176 so called princesses. My gorge rises as I see you in the 204 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:06,376 newspaper. Your decadent bones draped in Madame Debavier, 205 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:12,217 which will soon drip with your filthy blood. Yes, I can see why you might feel 206 00:19:12,241 --> 00:19:15,655 discomforted. So, what will you do about it, 207 00:19:15,679 --> 00:19:19,656 my dear lady? You will address me by my proper title. 208 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:24,536 Uh, do forgive the inspector, your royal highness. The policeman is often a blunt 209 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,977 tool rather than a diplomat. Perhaps I might. 210 00:19:28,001 --> 00:19:33,337 As I have said, this is the latest of many, dripping with venom. Our enemies, 211 00:19:33,361 --> 00:19:38,377 their legion. Can they not let us rest? Is it not enough that we are forced to 212 00:19:38,401 --> 00:19:43,536 drag our weary bones around the world like phantoms? You speak of the canoon 213 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,256 of hospitality. But what are we to make of yours? What 214 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:53,416 welcome do we receive in your famous London? Wretched food, wretched cold, a 215 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,576 bodyguard who fails to guard. And now this. 216 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:03,400 I'll do what I can given my limited resources. 217 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,400 Fancy. 218 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:08,797 Yes, of course. And we're terribly sorry. 219 00:21:08,821 --> 00:21:11,000 Well, if that's the best you can do. 220 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,496 Oh, Miss Raffle. Yes, Mr. Kind. 221 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:21,655 I heard about the unfortunate incident. That's one way of describing it. I'm 222 00:21:21,679 --> 00:21:28,856 okay, but I think I might indulge myself a bit more in the cream of society. As 223 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,617 I've been fired, I can use the hotel as a guest instead. 224 00:21:32,641 --> 00:21:35,576 Meaning, their royal highnesses. I'm to put 225 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,016 everything in their account. Well, don't spend too much. 226 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,257 What? Nothing. Um, Mr. Rattle. 227 00:21:41,281 --> 00:21:44,737 Yes. Would you kindly come and see me after 228 00:21:44,761 --> 00:21:49,720 you've indulged yourself? Okay, Mr. Kind. 229 00:21:55,760 --> 00:22:00,056 Edie, can we talk? 230 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:05,137 I do want to apologize for the quality of the service today. The heating is 231 00:22:05,161 --> 00:22:09,497 off. The menu is cold. I'm deeply sorry, 232 00:22:09,521 --> 00:22:15,377 Ismael. None of that is your fault. Yeah, I'm afraid it is. It was caused by 233 00:22:15,401 --> 00:22:20,377 the three bottles of linseed oil that I stole from your cupboard. 234 00:22:20,401 --> 00:22:25,817 But linseed oil is for polishing. I use it for my new posts and my dayos. 235 00:22:25,841 --> 00:22:32,137 Yes, I know. But I poured it into the generator. I didn't poison Victor Oed, 236 00:22:32,161 --> 00:22:37,096 but I did poison the hotel. I was so angry with myself, with with 237 00:22:37,120 --> 00:22:43,736 that man, with this place. So, I just thought I kill it. 238 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:49,837 I'm deeply sorry. I shall confess everything to Mr. Fine. And you will not 239 00:22:49,861 --> 00:22:51,640 lose your job either. 240 00:23:26,799 --> 00:23:29,799 Huh? 241 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:14,760 You you me. 242 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:21,176 This isn't easy for me, as I'm sure you can imagine. Of course, you've just lost 243 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:26,216 your husband. That boat sailed a long time ago, Mrs. book and you're not the 244 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:30,919 first of Victor's conquests to telephone. 245 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:38,135 If it makes it any easier, he didn't. Did what? 246 00:24:38,159 --> 00:24:41,159 Conquer. 247 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,816 I used to come here all the time, you know, 248 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:54,296 to watch him with the latest model. 249 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,320 Madam, 250 00:25:05,360 --> 00:25:11,015 you've read it. To see oneself here assessed like 251 00:25:11,039 --> 00:25:16,376 livestock. Do you think he got what he deserved? 252 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:23,559 Well, not quite, but uh I mean, what a peak he was. 253 00:25:23,919 --> 00:25:28,936 Do you know I'd think better of him if it was a real diary? Something with a 254 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:33,480 bit of proper adulterous passion. 255 00:25:34,559 --> 00:25:40,657 Don't worry, my dear. I don't really blame you. I mean, Victor had charm to 256 00:25:40,681 --> 00:25:46,216 spare in his day. And I grew used to his adventures. 257 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:50,775 Numb to them. So used to them, it became a sort of 258 00:25:50,799 --> 00:25:56,679 hobby. That sound strange. 259 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:01,336 My marriage grew cold and my life grew cold. 260 00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:07,480 I don't really think I felt anything since Dunkirk. 261 00:26:07,919 --> 00:26:13,976 So, I'd come here where there was light and laughter 262 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:19,336 usually. Did you not worry that he uh might see 263 00:26:19,360 --> 00:26:22,320 you? 264 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:29,559 Victor hadn't noticed me in years. There was no reason to think he'd start now. 265 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,880 Is that how you were able to? 266 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:40,616 What? The poison. 267 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:45,697 I mean, you were there. You You handed me that cloth. It would have been easy 268 00:26:45,721 --> 00:26:50,696 for you to administer strait. I didn't kill my husband, Mrs. Spoke. 269 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:58,279 I pied Victor. Didn't despise him. Then who did? 270 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:07,416 How is his war? He did his service in Caro and a stint 271 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:12,296 in the Balkans. The Balkans. 272 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,696 And before that, he was here. The home front. 273 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:22,520 Whereabouts? Ask it. 274 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:43,255 Ah, it is you. Would it be What does that say? 275 00:27:43,279 --> 00:27:46,760 Death to parasites. 276 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:59,255 Thank you for coming. Everything's off. Kippers, kidneys, 277 00:27:59,279 --> 00:28:04,535 kedgery, and the radiators. They're definitely off. Oh, 278 00:28:04,559 --> 00:28:09,456 there's a selection of cold meat. Splendid. Well, two of those then, 279 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,256 please. Wait, do make sure they're properly cold. I have poring 280 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:14,977 consistency. Sir, 281 00:28:15,001 --> 00:28:19,337 the service it is appalling. Well, call me Marian Twinette, but I was expecting 282 00:28:19,361 --> 00:28:22,776 the laboratories to flush. Still, the heating did come on for half an hour. 283 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,417 That was nice. You said it was urgent, Mr. Book. 284 00:28:25,441 --> 00:28:27,977 In a way, yes. Are you any closer? 285 00:28:28,001 --> 00:28:31,857 Closer to finding out who tried to murder us. 286 00:28:31,881 --> 00:28:36,296 No one tried to murder you. But the letters, the threats. 287 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,880 You sent those. 288 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:45,336 What? You're mad. How dare you? Do sit down, 289 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,857 princess. The very idea that I 290 00:28:48,881 --> 00:28:52,296 I said sit down. I may be more of a diplomat than the 291 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:58,216 inspector. There's only so much of this exhausting aur I can stand. 292 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:03,015 When did you start sending the letters? Not right away. I 293 00:29:03,039 --> 00:29:08,200 imagine for a while it was real. 294 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:14,135 When we fled our country, there were eyes everywhere. We feared to eat or 295 00:29:14,159 --> 00:29:20,216 drink. We lived day by day, shoved into stinking cellars, the holds of filthy 296 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:25,576 ships. But the threat was real, Mr. Book. In. 297 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:31,177 New York, we were fated. They love royalty there, as you know, precisely 298 00:29:31,201 --> 00:29:36,617 because they have none of their own. We were invited to all the right parties, 299 00:29:36,641 --> 00:29:41,977 met all the right people. But there is nothing more tragic than 300 00:29:42,001 --> 00:29:44,856 exile, Mr. Book. And nothing more pathetic. 301 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:51,096 After a time, the invitations dried up, the parade moved on, and I realized that 302 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:56,456 we had gone from being in danger to something far, far worse. 303 00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:01,255 We had become irrelevant. 304 00:30:01,279 --> 00:30:06,216 What did the newim and scutari have to fear from us? Why would they send 305 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:12,456 assassins halfway across the globe to make a way with us? Why would anyone 306 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:16,936 bother? But there is glamour in death, in 307 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:21,416 danger. And so I began to write all those 308 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:25,976 letters both to us and to the authorities of whichever poor nation we 309 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:30,856 were imposing ourselves upon. I pay a woman here a modest fee to skull around 310 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,497 the hotel, dropping them off now and then. 311 00:30:34,521 --> 00:30:38,135 Some suspected your other sister might be behind those. 312 00:30:38,159 --> 00:30:45,895 She's dead, Mr. book. I saw her shot in the face. 313 00:30:45,919 --> 00:30:51,799 The communists never really trusted her. 314 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:58,120 And I will not lose another sister. 315 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:04,016 But then there was an actual poisoning. I didn't know what to think. Nafia 316 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:09,255 swapped the glasses as always. And then that man, that captain lying dead at our 317 00:31:09,279 --> 00:31:16,216 feet. My mind it raced. Had it all become real. 318 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:20,056 But what else could I do but continue as planned? 319 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,736 Was very well done. Thank you. 320 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:28,817 At last though, the impression of your sister's pen nibs is very distinctive. 321 00:31:28,841 --> 00:31:32,616 Indeed. Music nib. Narrow down strokes, broad 322 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,976 cross strokes for writing musical notation. 323 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:41,537 And she's composing those rather sad and lovely little tunes of hers and the 324 00:31:41,561 --> 00:31:45,896 references to your wardrobe, too. Rather specific for a desperate communist 325 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,255 assassin? I couldn't help myself. 326 00:31:49,279 --> 00:31:56,919 So, does this mean then that Captain O was the intended victim? 327 00:31:57,279 --> 00:32:03,255 So, I have to ask, Mr. book in the spirit of your British stories. 328 00:32:03,279 --> 00:32:09,880 Who done it? Well, that is the question, dear lady. 329 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,720 Sir. 330 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:41,697 Not normally a fan of this sort of thing, relevant to the kind of thriller 331 00:32:41,721 --> 00:32:45,576 one finds in Whmith. However, sometimes it really is best to 332 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:50,696 gather everyone together. Unity of place and all that. So, on the night of the 333 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:55,015 murder, Mr. Gazily here set up a first round of two drinks. 334 00:32:55,039 --> 00:33:00,296 Yes. Which is rejected by the princesses and goes down the sink. Now we come to 335 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:06,056 the brewhaha and a new character enters our drama. Captain Victor Ore, kindly 336 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:11,416 represented here by Mr. Kind. In you come, Miss Rattle, tell us what happened 337 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,936 next. Well, there's Captain Wats soaked in 338 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:19,816 tinger, and he's telling me he has some extra duties for me, which seem to 339 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:24,616 involve me going to his room and leaving with some money. So I decline, of 340 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:30,696 course, and I'm looking over at Isma. I'm looking at him because, well, I 341 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,497 think he might help me out. Do the decent. 342 00:33:34,521 --> 00:33:37,176 And he doesn't. What happens next, Edie? 343 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:42,576 Well, I'm thinking, does the captain going to hit me? So, I tell him where to 344 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:48,136 get off and then he says something. I don't know, some threat or other. I 345 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:52,857 wasn't listening. And that's when Jack here came to my rescue. 346 00:33:52,881 --> 00:33:58,697 Then I went outside for a smoke. Thank you, Miss Rattle. So, Mr. Gazili then 347 00:33:58,721 --> 00:34:03,736 sets up two more glasses for a new round. Four Walsingham sours 348 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,080 in total. 349 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:15,657 Three good ones and one, as we shall see, about to have an extra ingredient. 350 00:34:15,681 --> 00:34:20,857 But when precisely did one of these drinks get a dash of hydrochloric acid? 351 00:34:20,881 --> 00:34:25,257 Princess Nefier, you tell us that you switched two of these glasses around. 352 00:34:25,281 --> 00:34:29,335 Which two? Like this, Mr. Book. One of ours for one 353 00:34:29,359 --> 00:34:33,177 of theirs. Very good. But you're not drinking yet, 354 00:34:33,201 --> 00:34:37,337 are you? Because you want to see someone else drink first, which is only prudent, 355 00:34:37,361 --> 00:34:42,777 only sensible when there are so many assassins about. So, you have to wait a 356 00:34:42,801 --> 00:34:46,136 little while longer until the distraction is over. 357 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,297 And this is the Russian roulette moment, now, is it? 358 00:34:49,321 --> 00:34:53,937 This was not a casual murder. It was very carefully thought through. Now, we 359 00:34:53,961 --> 00:34:58,137 know the poison was not in Mr. Gazid's shaker. We know the Princess Nefier 360 00:34:58,161 --> 00:35:02,777 deserves no reproaches. All your royal highness did was switch one perfectly 361 00:35:02,801 --> 00:35:06,817 safe and effective Walsingham s for another. In fact, I would suggest that 362 00:35:06,841 --> 00:35:11,177 none of these drinks would have produced anything worse than a hangover until the 363 00:35:11,201 --> 00:35:15,057 incident with the coins. That was the moment of opportunity for someone here 364 00:35:15,081 --> 00:35:18,137 to poison one of these cocktails. The one that he was clearly about to pick 365 00:35:18,161 --> 00:35:21,977 up. Yes, there was no mistake. Captain Ore 366 00:35:22,001 --> 00:35:26,440 had to die. Why though? 367 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:33,976 Do you remember the Arendor star? Not our finest hour. I fear 368 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,937 she was torpedoed by the Jerry. Started the war. 369 00:35:37,961 --> 00:35:41,337 July 2nd, 1940. There was a set to on board, wasn't 370 00:35:41,361 --> 00:35:43,816 there? A lot of internes being sent to Australia. 371 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,737 Canada. Canada. Fighting amongst themselves. 372 00:35:46,761 --> 00:35:50,056 Well, that's what it said in the Daily Express. 373 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,757 In Parliament, too, Mr. Book doesn't mean it's true. 374 00:35:52,781 --> 00:35:54,280 Indeed. 375 00:35:54,560 --> 00:36:00,119 And amongst the passengers, 376 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:05,240 your sister, Maria, 377 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:16,536 Barbarini, M. 12th January 1940, Ascuit racecourse. 378 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:22,856 16th of January, Ascuit racecourse 19. So it was her captain all met at the 379 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,657 races. Well, there was no racing during the 380 00:36:25,681 --> 00:36:29,297 war. Quite of course ascots where they put 381 00:36:29,321 --> 00:36:34,136 the regulation 18 below, wasn't it? English Nazis, German anti-Nazis, ice 382 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:39,416 cream men, spaghetti house vendors, waiters who'd once said something 383 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:44,936 vaguely complimentary about the cut of Illuch's jib. All put under barb wire 384 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:48,377 an internment camp. What was the case against the. 385 00:36:48,401 --> 00:36:51,656 Barbarinis, though? My parents were born in Italy. 386 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:56,856 So someone here claimed I was a fascist, marched me out during service, sent up 387 00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:02,136 north. Nobody protested, particularly the man who ran the bar 388 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:07,480 here in the Blitz. And your sister. 389 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:15,297 In 1938, my father said, "Why not spend the summer with your Italian aunt, go to" 390 00:37:15,321 --> 00:37:21,575 a beach with them, to the Campo Solar, build fires, get some fresh air. 391 00:37:21,599 --> 00:37:27,416 They give you a nice little uniform like the girl guides but or Seleni's girl 392 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:31,575 guides. Ah, so she brought the uniform home as a 393 00:37:31,599 --> 00:37:33,815 souvenir. It 394 00:37:33,839 --> 00:37:39,815 was enough for the men from 18B. There it was in a wardrobe. So off she 395 00:37:39,839 --> 00:37:44,456 went to escort. She was in turn because of the uniform. 396 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:50,417 People do take them terribly seriously. Well, it worked for Victor. When he was 397 00:37:50,441 --> 00:37:55,417 in his sailor suit, people did what he said. I mean, it was charm as well as 398 00:37:55,441 --> 00:37:59,657 rank. Rank. Charm. That's how he got Maria's name on the 399 00:37:59,681 --> 00:38:03,897 list for Canada. Perhaps it should be generous. Imagine 400 00:38:03,921 --> 00:38:08,377 he was getting her out of the camp to a new life away from the war. 401 00:38:08,401 --> 00:38:13,697 He just wanted a troublesome lover out the way before his wife found out. 402 00:38:13,721 --> 00:38:18,376 That ship was a death trap. A dream about that. 403 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:24,936 Those people pushing at the barricades, the great wooden axes wrapped in barbed 404 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,936 wire and then the sea coming in and drowning 405 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,656 them both. Both 406 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:38,296 Maria and the baby his baby. 407 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:43,815 I knew his name, that was all, but I couldn't find him. Messed the war and 408 00:38:43,839 --> 00:38:49,737 turn everything upside down. No, I was in a great hurry to help out an 409 00:38:49,761 --> 00:38:54,217 insignificant [ __ ] waiter. Turned out I've been serving in Wingham. 410 00:38:54,241 --> 00:38:58,857 Sal for months. Victor or my old friend. I I can't leave 411 00:38:58,881 --> 00:39:03,537 you alone for 5 minutes, can I? When the bloody girl can't take a joke. 412 00:39:03,561 --> 00:39:07,816 Let's have a couple of those. What do you call them? 413 00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,697 We'll sing them sour with the two ladies. 414 00:39:10,721 --> 00:39:16,377 H for their royal highnesses. You mean is on me, ladies? The man who took away 415 00:39:16,401 --> 00:39:21,560 my precious Maria, my beloved sister. 416 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:29,656 So I did what had to be done. I prepared ice. Special ice. 417 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:35,335 Oh. Oh dear. So embarrassing. I do apologize. 418 00:39:35,359 --> 00:39:40,936 Not at all. Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves. 419 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,960 What? 420 00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:10,055 It was her birthday. See, Maria's birthday would have been. 421 00:40:10,079 --> 00:40:18,079 It seemed uh it seemed fitting. Yes. Yes, it must have done. 422 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:23,575 And I took the precaution of keeping some of the poisoned ice. 423 00:40:23,599 --> 00:40:27,736 Tinky tonk. Wait, no. 424 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:34,616 Just ordinary ice. Alas, I'm afraid I swapped it. 425 00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:40,216 I'm so very, very sorry about your sister, Senior Babarini. 426 00:40:40,240 --> 00:40:44,280 But murder is murder. 427 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:49,937 Marco Barbarini, I'm arresting you on a charge of murder. You do not have to say 428 00:40:49,961 --> 00:40:55,497 anything, but anything you do say may be taken down and used against you in a 429 00:40:55,521 --> 00:40:58,520 court of law. Do you have anything to say? 430 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:09,256 Oh, by the way, Mr. kind the linseed oil in the generators. 431 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:14,440 That was me too. Sorry. 432 00:41:36,319 --> 00:41:41,976 I got that. Mr. Kind, you wanted a word? 433 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:46,536 Oh, yes, Mr. Rattle. I was thinking about your position here. 434 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:50,217 Well, now I know that you were not responsible for the incident with the 435 00:41:50,241 --> 00:41:51,977 generators. Yes. 436 00:41:52,001 --> 00:41:55,217 Well, your dismissal was unnecessarily expeditious. 437 00:41:55,241 --> 00:41:57,976 Yes. Yes. And I wanted to say I would very 438 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,416 much like to offer that position back to you. 439 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:05,896 Well, I accept. That's all very satisfactory. 440 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:09,217 There's a ledger here, isn't there? A ledger? 441 00:42:09,241 --> 00:42:14,737 One with all the comingings and goings of the staff. Might I see my entry? It's 442 00:42:14,761 --> 00:42:18,920 over there. Yes, of course. 443 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,680 Thank you. 444 00:42:26,079 --> 00:42:30,856 There I am. Edith Rattle.

It 459 00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,736 pays to specialize.

Mr. Book, 468 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:45,575 he arranged for you to take me on. The princesses were looking for a 469 00:44:45,599 --> 00:44:50,216 bodyguard. Gabriel asked if I could help. So, you see, he was looking out 470 00:44:50,240 --> 00:44:55,335 for you despite your falling out. You know him well. 471 00:44:55,359 --> 00:44:59,240 We go a long way back. 472 00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:06,216 Looking out for me or manipulating me. Now, 473 00:45:06,240 --> 00:45:11,297 why would you think of it like that? He sought me out. Found me when I come out 474 00:45:11,321 --> 00:45:15,736 of prison, set me up. Nice job, nice home. 475 00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:17,496 Yes. Why? 476 00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:22,936 You'd have to ask him that. And a monster. Mr. Kind.

You know, they're set up. 478 00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:34,216 The way they are, Mr. and Mrs. book the way he is. 479 00:45:34,240 --> 00:45:39,335 It's hard for me to just accept it. You have a moral objection. 480 00:45:39,359 --> 00:45:43,016 Me? Why do I have to moralize? 481 00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:47,656 I think you've answered your own question. Book is kind. 482 00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:53,335 I mean, I know I'm kind. Edmund kind. But I once knew a girl called Joy and 483 00:45:53,359 --> 00:45:58,776 she was anything but. There's no sinister motive, Jack. They 484 00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:04,040 want to help. Why don't you let them 485 00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:37,976 with you in just one moment. Hello again. 486 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,456 Oh, Mrs. Goodwin. Jean. 487 00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:44,136 Jean. After more of the same, the pimping. 488 00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:48,456 I'm not really sure. I I think I fancy something a little different. 489 00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,536 My husband not with you? No. 490 00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,256 The golf course? No. The Garrick. 491 00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:56,616 The divorce courts.

I like you suggested it rather than made me think. 494 00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:11,377 Yes, I thought it might do. Made me realize how narrow my horizons 495 00:47:11,401 --> 00:47:16,337 have become. Or other how narrow Gerald had made my horizons. 496 00:47:16,361 --> 00:47:21,496 Love doesn't always last forever unless never loved him. Awful man. 497 00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:26,295 But that's all in the past now or in the hands of my solicitor anyway. 498 00:47:26,319 --> 00:47:31,656 So what can I do for you then?
