00:00So, can you use a gun?
00:16I prefer fists. Who will I be fighting?
00:20Our enemies. Have you ever been to prison?
00:24Why do you ask?
00:26The terms you're willing to take.
00:28What did you do?
00:32A pal saw something in a shop window that I wanted.
00:36So I drove into it. It's called a smash and grab.
00:38Yes, I know. I do read the papers.
00:40It says here you've recently worked for a film actor.
00:44Yes.
00:46As his bodyguard?
00:48Amongst other things.
00:50But before that, in this bookshop.
00:58Why did you leave there?
01:02I didn't care for it.
01:04And you're happy with this arrangement?
01:06A book has his life.
01:08I have mine. It works.
01:10I'm amazed more people don't do it.
01:12I knew him.
01:14Your father. I knew him before the war.
01:18You knew him?
01:20You knew him?
01:26Jack?
01:28Ah, this is...
01:30I can't. I can't.
01:32Jack, where are you going?
01:34But your previous employer trusted you?
01:38Yes.
01:40Despite your history?
01:42Because of it.
01:44Perhaps.
01:46And should we trust you?
01:50Well, I suppose you'll find out.
01:54When the next assassin comes.
02:14Nora.
02:15I never did it.
02:17Never did what?
02:18Made shillings out of ice and put them in the meter.
02:22What's all this corrosion, then?
02:26That's rust.
02:28Yes, it is.
02:30Cold, isn't it?
02:38We could burn a few.
02:39No, we couldn't.
02:40Not even the Georgette Hayes?
02:42No.
02:43Really, Nora.
02:44For someone so new to the pleasures of reading,
02:46you're fast becoming a terrible snob.
02:48Oh, my God.
02:50Oh, my God.
02:51Oh, my God.
02:52Oh, my God.
02:53Oh, my God.
02:54Oh, my God.
02:55What is it?
02:56Oh.
02:58Feels quiet without him.
03:00God bless the waltz again.
03:16And all who sail in her.
03:18Oh, God.
03:19Jesus.
03:20Oh, bloody hell.
03:22Oh.
03:23Do forgive me, my dear.
03:26I seem to be in a state of advanced repression.
03:28Oh, I had noticed, Victor.
03:30Just stay there.
03:31I'll fetch a cloth.
03:38Secret, sir.
03:39Dunhill, all capsules.
03:43Sir?
03:46Can we talk?
03:47Oh, thank you.
03:59Here.
04:01It's for him.
04:02Oh.
04:15Please enjoy.
04:18Not enough lemon juice.
04:19Too much ice.
04:20And I did not like the way you shook it.
04:25Too violent.
04:26Mm-hmm.
04:27Of course.
04:29Excuse me.
04:32They think I'm too violent.
04:35It's a violent art.
04:40Good thing I didn't waste any gin on them, then.
04:43You're a quick learner.
04:47I'm glad you've fallen on your feet.
04:57I had no idea you'd be here.
04:59We haven't seen you in weeks.
05:01How are you?
05:02Look, I haven't got long.
05:04What...
05:05What do you want?
05:07Oh, Jack.
05:09This is silly.
05:11We miss you.
05:12We both hoped you'd found a safe birth in Archangel Lane.
05:15A home.
05:17Book and me.
05:19Well, our arrangement is unusual, I know, but as I said to you, when we first met...
05:23Love is where it falls.
05:24Hmm.
05:26And how does my father fit into all of that?
05:30Yeah?
05:31One of Mr Book's little dalliances, was he?
05:33Well, Book needs to talk to you about your father properly.
05:37Look, our marriage protects us both.
05:39Don't we have the right to be happy?
05:41Happy?
05:42We're gallivanting off into the night.
05:44In with God knows who and you.
05:45Give me that drop, captain!
05:47Is that the latest, is it?
05:49That little moustache?
05:50He's Captain Orr.
05:51I knew him before the war.
05:52Oh.
05:53Dreamboat of the officer's mess, was he?
05:54Hmm.
05:55Something like that.
05:57Listing slightly now, though, eh?
05:59It's not in!
06:01You don't have to pick him.
06:04Mrs Bug.
06:06Well, we better not keep him waiting.
06:09Excuse me.
06:20Oh, come to my room and help me dry off.
06:22I'm wet, woman!
06:24Give me the damn cloth.
06:25Come on.
06:26Get your ruddy hands off me!
06:28I won't have it.
06:29For shame.
06:30Oh, dear sir.
06:31Oh, you've had a right mess up.
06:33Who's this?
06:34Wet trousers are against the dress code, you know?
06:36It's the Walsingham.
06:37So, why don't you go back to your room, take the wet pants off and have a little lay down?
06:42I have never been so insulted.
06:44I'm sure you have been, a fella like you.
06:47Ah, Victor Orr.
06:48My old friend.
06:49I can't leave you alone for five minutes, can I?
06:52A bloody girl can't take a joke.
06:53Sit down.
06:55Er, can we have a couple of girls?
06:57What do you call them?
06:58More serum sours.
07:00For the two ladies.
07:01For their royal highnesses, you mean?
07:04These are on me, ladies.
07:06And may I say, you are looking superbly Balkan tonight.
07:10I salute the House of Scutari.
07:14Whichever Commissar lives in it now.
07:16Take a good look, Trotty.
07:18That's what happens to you when you get dethroned by the Reds.
07:21Oh!
07:22Oh dear.
07:24Allow me.
07:26So embarrassing.
07:27I do apologise.
07:28Not at all.
07:29Not at all.
07:30Look after the pennies, and the pounds will look after themselves.
07:33What?
07:34He he he.
07:35I, er, had a bit of luck on the horses.
07:45You, er, you know Ascot?
07:48Very well, sir.
07:50How's the going?
07:51Oh, well.
07:52Good to firm.
07:54After this, shall we, er...
07:57Normally my favourite ellipsis, but I just think we should call it a night now, Victor.
08:04Oh, Trotty.
08:05You're no fun anymore.
08:08It's amazing how different things can look without the benefit of the blackout.
08:12Here's to Joe Stalin's next stroke.
08:18Tinkety-tonk.
08:27Victor!
08:42Victor!
08:43Victor!
08:44Victor!
08:45Victor!
08:46Flozz!
08:53Victor!
09:00What?
09:01This is probably one of the 1 point we have.
09:07Drone of the police.
09:09It's like, oh, Bondi.
10:11What's the price of a green penguin crime novel?
10:16A shilling?
10:19Ah.
10:20That's better.
10:30Ah.
10:32Success.
10:32Oh, it's you.
10:58You ready to commit on her for Amos?
11:01No, Sergeant.
11:02She was just, um, browsing.
11:04I hate to seem inquisitive, but why are you here?
11:06There's a chap being killed at the walls in them.
11:09Poisoned.
11:10Dead in a pile of pound notes on the floor of the river bar.
11:12Oh, that's just our sort of thing.
11:14Don't get too excited.
11:16The inspector wants a book.
11:17A G-book, Esquire.
11:19There's some foreign royalty involved, it seems.
11:23He says, uh, do you have anything on the Balkan rules of revenge?
11:27Specifically, the canon of Scutari.
11:32How too, too ridiculously obscure.
11:34Do you have it?
11:35Almost certainly.
11:36And, uh, 504, he says.
11:40504.
11:41Room with a view?
11:42Well, it's all right for some, I suppose.
11:44Mrs. Book's already checked in.
11:46Why?
11:47Oh, uh, she's one of the suspects.
11:52Trouble in paradise, he says so.
11:54Oh, uh, she's one of the suspects.
12:24Beauty.
12:25Yes.
12:26Might be one of those clues.
12:28We like those.
12:30Do you mind?
12:30Yes.
12:34Do people really say, what's your poison when they're at the bar?
12:38No idea.
12:39I don't get out much.
12:40What do you mean?
12:41Oh, we're at the Walsingham.
12:43So's he.
12:45Oh, yeah.
12:46Let's, uh, let's get him somewhere more private.
12:48Yep.
12:54Not the main entrance, please, Inspector.
13:05I'm sorry we can't be more discreet.
13:07May I suggest the service corridor?
13:09Oh, yes.
13:10Yes.
13:10Thank you, Mr. Kind.
13:11Uh, nothing to stop by reopening the bar tomorrow, I think.
13:32Good evening, sir.
13:44Evening.
13:44You have a reservation?
13:45Uh, no, my wife.
13:48Your wife?
13:49Mrs. Book.
13:50Have you seen her?
13:51I'm afraid she may be distressed.
13:52No book.
13:54Oh.
13:545-0-4, Freddie.
13:56Uh, no, I'll keep this one.
13:58What's happened, darling?
13:59What's this about a corpse?
14:00Why have I been scouring my stacks?
14:02Because of Vulcan blood feuds.
14:04Oh, I'm not proud of myself.
14:07There was champagne.
14:09A day at the races, riddle me re in the 2.30.
14:12Cocktails, more cocktails, and then...
14:15Trotty, we live our own lives.
14:18That was always the deal.
14:20Self-flagellation is never helpful.
14:21And not nearly as much fun as someone doing it to you.
14:25Who was he?
14:26Victor.
14:27Or.
14:29Or.
14:29With two R's.
14:31Naval captain, married, had met him before.
14:33In an air raid, 41.
14:35He, uh, made a pass at me in...
14:38In...
14:39Where?
14:40Please don't make me say the F word.
14:43Foils.
14:44Yes.
14:45Oh, Trotty.
14:46I just fancied a good time.
14:48Well, there's nothing wrong with that.
14:50But he turned out to be a most awful bore.
14:52Where is he now?
14:53In the morgue.
14:54Oh.
14:55One last night on the tiles.
14:57And there's something else.
14:59Book.
15:00Thank God you're here.
15:02You ready?
15:02For what?
15:03To interview royalty.
15:04It's a little irregular, isn't it?
15:06I don't care.
15:07They terrify me.
15:08I'm not going in there alone.
15:10Haven't you taken their fingerprints?
15:11I've not got Morris to do that.
15:12I may be a coward, but I'm not a fool.
15:15I have our primary text.
15:17The Canoon of Scutari.
15:19Oh, no, no, no.
15:20Looks expensive.
15:21Will it pay for our suite, Inspector?
15:23Oh, the late captain had taken care of that, Mrs. Book.
15:26You're in the room next to the princesses.
15:29Oh, what are they like?
15:30Oh, they're glamorous in a sort of disappointed and stateless kind of way.
15:34Perhaps it's time I kept a closer eye on them.
15:36And an ear, too.
15:37I should use one of those little glasses they keep by the sink.
15:42So, will this help us find who'd done it?
15:53It's a book of customary laws for remote mountain communities without a magistrate or justice.
15:59The village elders consult the text and then tell you how much reiki to provide for your daughter's wedding,
16:04what to do if your bees escape and build a nest on your labor's land, that sort of thing.
16:08And who you're allowed to kill if somebody kills your cousin.
16:19Well, what language did you think it was going to be in?
16:21Well, we have three native speakers on the premises, but they're all suspect.
16:25Who's the third?
16:26Oh, he's a rather good-looking cocktail waiter.
16:28Well, don't fret too much.
16:30The dutiful Teutonic scholar did publish a translation of it in the German.
16:34Oh, well, you certainly speak the German.
16:36In his sleep sometimes.
16:37So where is this translation?
16:39Nora's looking for it now.
16:41It must be somewhere in the law section, or social science, or etiquette, or propping open the door.
16:47You said there was something else?
16:48Yes.
16:49These princesses have been given gainful employment to one of the capitals dispossessed.
16:53Oh, yes. I know.
17:04And there he is.
17:08I'll, uh, turn down the bedspread.
17:10Sergeant Morris will be along soon to take a statement.
17:13Yes, of course.
17:13I'd be grateful, Mrs. Book, if you didn't leave the hotel.
17:17It's perfectly all right, Inspector. You have to do your duty.
17:23I'm here to see their Royal Highnesses.
17:38Enzo.
17:40Oh, dog.
17:42Where is it?
17:44Green.
17:45Straight-grained, Morocco-bound folio, with a lot of academic monographs bound inside, slightly foxed, according to the catalogue.
17:58You're no help.
17:59They're coming this category.
18:16Oh, what would I do without you?
18:26He's.
18:27Time for a little chat, Mrs Book.
18:57Poof.
19:08I beg your pardon.
19:10I apologize for it.
19:13That we have sunk so low.
19:16Remember the great banqueting table, Ruhia?
19:19Chairs made with birch.
19:21As silvery as the snow on the mountaintops.
19:24Upholstered with dumb masks or so.
19:27We've been in more awkward situations than this, haven't we, Inspector?
19:30That we have, Book.
19:31So, which is the policeman?
19:33You or this Book?
19:36He's taking notes for me.
19:37Helping with the...
19:38Pittman's shorthand.
19:40So useful.
19:41Tall and red-headed.
19:43Like the poppies of our homeland.
19:45I realize that this will be very difficult for you, your Royal Highnesses.
19:52But if there's any detail you can recall, however small, it may help us discover who killed Captain Orr.
19:58That is easy.
20:00I killed him.
20:01So it's...
20:02He did what?
20:04It is true.
20:05I switched the glasses.
20:06He drank the poison meant for one of us.
20:09We have a routine, my sister and I, to cause a distraction.
20:12I salute the house of Scutale.
20:16Whichever commissar lives in it, take a good look, Trotty.
20:19That's what happens to you if you get dethroned by the Reds.
20:22Oh!
20:23Oh, dear.
20:25It's so embarrassing.
20:26I do apologize.
20:27Not at all, not at all.
20:29Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves.
20:32What?
20:33It is a habit, a necessary precaution.
20:37Like this.
20:37This was the third attempt on our life since we left New York.
20:44There was a steward on the Berengaria.
20:46Can I turn over your room, madame?
20:49So transparent.
20:50And that Salvation Army woman outside the opera, shaking her tin box.
20:54She denied everything, of course.
20:57Who do you think is trying to kill you?
20:59The communists, of course.
21:00Opera?
21:01But they already have your palaces, your estates.
21:04Our summer house on the Adriatic, there is a lake there.
21:09When the rising sun touches it, it is like the blush.
21:13In the spring, our country was proclaimed a people's republic.
21:16They want...
21:17What's the expression?
21:19A big finish.
21:20Ha!
21:22Hence the bodyguard.
21:24And how are you finding him?
21:26As he failed to prevent an attempt on our lives,
21:29I would say he has not covered himself in glory.
21:31Don't the communists also have your other sister?
21:36We do not speak of her.
21:37Senille, yes, the youngest.
21:39She renounced her title.
21:40We do not speak of her.
21:41Red scum.
21:43She betrayed her birthright, her country, her family.
21:49Take it.
21:51Of course, if this does turn out to be the case,
21:55then your switching of the drinks will not be without consequence.
21:59We are used to being pilloried.
22:01We will take whatever comes to us.
22:03Right.
22:03Right.
22:05Now then, in your statement,
22:06you said something about this murder being written about
22:09in the canoon of Scutari.
22:11What does that mean?
22:12It means that the killing like this
22:14follows certain customary principles.
22:17It means the first thing you must do
22:18is arrest that cocktail waiter.
22:21Ismail Ghazili.
22:22Ghazili.
22:23Ghazili.
22:24Ghazili.
22:25Ghazili.
22:25Why?
22:26He's from the mountains.
22:27These people know the rules of revenge.
22:29They are obsessed with them.
22:31You must arrest him.
22:32And you must bring in any others on the staff.
22:35Of a mountain man?
22:38Yes.
22:38Yes.
22:38Well, thank you so much.
22:44This has been most helpful.
22:45So you will do as we say?
22:47No, I will not.
22:49Why?
22:49Because, Princess, I am not your subject.
22:52And in this country, a man is innocent until proven guilty.
22:55Whatever altitude he was born at.
23:05Sometimes, Inspector, you make me proud to be from the gutter.
23:08I never really thought of myself as a Republican.
23:13Well, it's the war, but it changed us all.
23:16I never really thought of myself as a Jew.
23:19You ever come here during the Blitz?
23:22I had to let you in if there was a raid on, even without a tie.
23:27We used to come down to the lower bar.
23:29It's known as the Fruit Cellar.
23:32That was quite the mixed grill.
23:34To be in there, you just got to let me out.
23:35We have a house in here.
23:36We have to wait.
23:38I could wait.
23:38Let's go out of here.
23:39We have to go out of here.
23:41Keep going out of here.
23:42You have to go out of here.
23:44Keep going out of here.
23:46Hide your door.
23:47We have to go out of here.
23:49I can't wait.
23:49Get out of here.

27:54are you kidding that captain was always here with different women usually in the same room
27:58five or four
28:00really
28:02city view
28:04noiseless bed springs
28:06duchess raid for favorite patrons
28:08and that captain has been coming here for years
28:10usually once a week
28:12without squeak you're very well informed
28:14no secrets at the walsingham sir
28:16we see all the dirty then
28:18because we have to clean it
28:20mr gazila
28:22that it's the duty of a grand hotel to make sure the private life of a guest remains private
28:26as some might say inspector
28:28in a grand hotel people are usually at it like cod in a bucket
28:32so it's a crime of passion then
28:34no
28:36i reckon the captain was something in intelligence
28:38during the war
28:40how do you know that
28:42they're a type
28:44friendly but
28:45tell you nothing
28:47with a drink
28:48They'll always have what the other person's having.
28:51So why would the princesses want to kill a British spy?
28:55Because British intelligence handed over Scutari to the communist partisans.
28:59And the captain recognized the princesses.
29:06Who are they?
29:08Should I know them?
29:10Balkans.
29:12Same to you.
29:14Now, Fia and Ruhia, princesses of the royal house of Scutari,
29:22proposed by the communists and now drifting around the world like Flotsam.
29:28Very glamorous, Flotsam.
29:30Wasn't there a scandal?
29:32They did a flit and the bullion from the National Bank somehow found its way into their hatboxes.
29:38Something of the sword.
29:41And?
29:44They're drifting our way.
29:47Or your way, to be precise.
29:49Oh, I see.
29:50In the market for a set of dictionaries, huh?
29:52They're staying at the Walsingham.
29:54Just down the road from you.
29:56And there have been letters.
30:00Threats.
30:02Vicious ones.
30:04You should speak to the post office, then.
30:07We'd be ever so grateful if you just...
30:12kept an eye on them.
30:16I told you.
30:18You're just a bookseller.
30:20And I told...
30:23I reminded you that we helped find young Jack.
30:29It wasn't easy.
30:30It wasn't easy.
30:31It wasn't easy.
30:52Oh.
30:53It's you.
30:54It's me.
30:55Ta for...
30:57You know.
30:58Ah, don't mention it.
31:04So does that happen a lot then, does it?
31:08Comes with a job, doesn't it?
31:09Can I do you now, sir?
31:11I wouldn't have killed him for it, though.
31:16Somebody did.
31:18Yeah.
31:20So...
31:22Which side are you on?
31:24Sorry?
31:26Which side are you on?
31:28Well, what are the options?
31:30Well, there's the management in this hotel
31:33who treat their staff like muck
31:35and give a girl a mouthful
31:37just for standing up for herself.
31:40Right.
31:42Then there's the workers.
31:43Okay.
31:44Well, the workers then.
31:45Nice to hear your expression of solidarity, brother.
31:48But it's...
31:49deeds not words that count.
31:51Don't you think?
31:53Right.
31:55So why don't you go down there to that taxi stand?
31:58Get me a nice cup of Bovril.
32:01I can't.
32:03Maybe later.
32:04I just gotta get back.
32:06To their royal bloody highnesses.
32:09Afraid so.
32:11How does it feel?
32:13Working for those parasites?
32:17Is that what they are?
32:19Well, what would you call them?
32:23Sad.
32:25I suppose.
32:27Yeah.
32:28A bit sad.
32:30Well...
32:32Speaking for myself...
32:33I'd line them up.
32:35Shoot the boogers.
32:36I'd line them up.
32:37Shoot the boogers.
33:03I could say a proper hello to you now, Edmund kind.
33:13Good evening.
33:15More than kind.
33:16I used to say.
33:17Well, that's too kind.
33:19Hm.
33:20They closed it.
33:21You know?
33:22The lower bar.
33:23The fruit cellar?
33:24Oh.
33:25What a shame.
33:26Yes, for redecoration.
33:27Though when the work will actually start, I don't know.
33:30Seems they prefer it mothballed, the management.
33:32You mean it's all still there?
33:33The mural and everything?
33:34Oh, yes.
33:36Well, you could take a look.
33:38If you'd like.
33:40Uh, I should really be getting back upstairs.
33:43Of course.
33:47I suppose a...
33:49a little peep wouldn't hurt.
33:51Well, the question is...
34:00Well, the lights work.
34:02I don't remember there being any.
34:04We never turned them off.
34:05Black-eyed, I suppose.
34:06I know.
34:07It was just terribly unflattering.
34:10Yes, you're right.
34:12Let's turn them off.
34:14Just a soup song.
34:16These walls could talk.
34:35Kim Strang is dead.
34:37Did you hear?
34:38Kim Strang.
34:40He used to keep his Max Factor in a gas mask box.
34:43Well, he'd been in Egypt, hadn't he?
34:46Had to keep that tan up.
34:48What happened to him?
34:50He walked into the sea at shore, I'm sorry to say.
34:53Somebody had his letters.
34:55Dreadful, really.
34:57Dreadful.
34:59And you're very married, I see.
35:02Very, very married.
35:03Congratulations.
35:05And thanks for your help with the, um, other matter.
35:08Not at all.
35:09What does Jack know?
35:11That my wife and I have an arrangement.
35:13That I knew his late father.
35:15Nothing more.
35:16He found that difficult enough to take.
35:17Ran out on us that very night.
35:20Floated here.
35:21Where he is gainfully employed, thanks to you.
35:24And able to keep an eye on the other bodies floating around.
35:27The regal Scutari ones.
35:30Why do you need to keep an eye on those?
35:32It's possible they were the intended victims.
35:34Not the captain.
35:35It's a working hypothesis.
35:36Are you with the police now, Gabriel?
35:39You always were a dark horse.
35:42It makes up a substantial part of my charm.
35:44Christ, isn't that dangerous?
35:46I mean, one false step.
35:48I am all too well aware of that, Edmund.
35:51Although I do have a special letter from Churchill.
35:55Still, you probably shouldn't be found in a dimly lit basement bar with...
36:00With a terribly handsome old friend?
36:02No, perhaps not.
36:03Top of the grid.
36:07And the wall cinema isn't connected to the grid.
36:09It has its own oil-powered generators.
36:12They're bringing it in by the barrel.
36:13Everything depends on it.
36:14Even the plumbing.
36:15And what's a grand hotel without power and hot-running water?
36:19Well, I suppose it's just a big building full of people who are rather cold and rather hungry.
36:25And very, very rich.
36:29I should go back.
36:33I need to.
36:34I need to.
36:35I need to.
36:36No big surprises on the poison front, Inspector.
37:04The deadly glass contains boring old hydrochloric acid.
37:08Oh, it can't all be virtuosos.
37:11Virtuos.
37:13The thumbprint, enough for an arrest?
37:16Enough for a hanging, maybe.
37:27Okay, thank you. Bye.
37:30Where's Edie Wettle?
37:32Oh, I'll check.
37:34It's very good, eh?
37:37Did the blessed sergeant get everything required from you, dear?
37:52Well, I took him through it in exhausting detail.
37:55Where did you get to?
37:57I've been talking to the staff.
37:59Oh, yes.
38:00Very nice of you.
38:01The ones who served you cocktails tonight?
38:03Well, it was really only the younger one.
38:05Guzzili.
38:06If you say so.
38:07Apparently, he poured a whole round down the sink, ice and fruit and all.
38:12Could he have tampered with the second round?
38:14Yes.
38:15Nobody was looking because of the brouhaha.
38:18Brouhaha?
38:19Yes.
38:20One of the princesses dropped her reticule.
38:22There was loose change all over the floor.
38:24I've heard about that.
38:25And after the brouhaha?
38:26Well, I dragged Victor back to the bar.
38:28He made a toast.
38:30And then there was the furore.
38:32A brouhaha and then a furore?
38:34It was very confusing.
38:36Oh, and there was a woman.
38:40A woman?
38:41I've just remembered.
38:42She handed me a cloth.
38:44Like St. Veronica on the road to Calvary.
38:47To mop up Victor Orr's trousers.
38:49There was something about the look she gave me.
38:55Poor Victor.
38:57People were recoiling in pure horror.
38:59It was burning his neck out.
39:00You could hear it crackle.
39:06I'm sorry you had a beastly time.
39:15I just wanted to get Stinker and wake up somewhere with clean sheets and three egg omelets.
39:20I wanted something.
39:23So I wanted him.
39:28I do love you, Mrs. Book.
39:31Ditto.
39:35Book.
39:36Yes.
39:39We never really talk.
39:41At all?
39:42But the arrangement.
39:45What's to talk about?
39:47Well, to see that all's well, that we're both okay.
39:50All is well.
39:51Look, you left the light on for me.
39:58I could be making love in this.
40:03In the dark.
40:04Has anyone told Victor Orr's wife?
40:07It's not like she was expecting him to come home.
40:11Do you know who she is?
40:12I don't really know who he was.
40:14Still.
40:16I suppose he did get us a night here.
40:20Isn't it marvelous?
40:22Isn't it marvelous?
40:23Hmm.
40:24No clouds to light.
40:25Hmm.
40:26No way for the stars to hide.
40:30We never really had a proper honeymoon, did we?
40:32Bit of a diary clash.
40:34The Luftwaffe had their hearts set on Eastbourne, too.
40:37The beach was very pebbly, anyway.
40:39And covered in barbed wire.
40:40Hmm.
40:41Does it worry you, though?
40:43Disappoint you?
40:45What?
40:46The absence of landmarks, declarations, grand gestures.
40:51Oh, no.
40:53Look.
40:54In fact, I'm going to make one now.
40:57Who is?
40:58Let's order a bloody, huge bottle of champagne.
41:23Got our papers.
41:24Stamped and signed.
41:25Tickets, too.
41:26Can't you do anything discreetly, my love?
41:32Now, five minutes till it leaves.
41:34Platform six.
41:35We're going to be in Paris for breakfast.
41:37There are no Nazis in Paris,
41:39but there are croissants,
41:40so it's all going to be fine.
41:45I can't come with your book.
41:49For the same reason that you must leave.
41:53It's so full here.
41:54Can I see myself?
41:55Ah, of course.
41:57The trip to Paris is now on the flight.
42:01On the flight deck.
42:02Oh, and I must return this to you, my...
42:16my...
42:20my dear fellow.
42:22I love a good book.
42:27I love a good book.
42:30A beautiful book.
42:34And how easy it is to...
42:36to picture myself...
42:38on some winter evening...
42:40in the country...
42:41in the country...
42:42lying with this particular book.
42:46It moves me so much.
42:48I love a good book.
42:54But I'm afraid I cannot keep it.
42:58I know it's frailties.
43:00And some books get burned, you know.
43:08And I should not like to be responsible
43:10for the loss of this one.
43:13Because it is so dear to me...
43:15that I know it by heart.
43:27Henceforth...
43:37Where ever thou mayest roam...
43:39Wherever thou mayst roam, my blessing, like a line of light, is on the waters of day and night, and like a beacon guards the home.
44:09To be continued...
44:57Denison.

48:50I'd like to smash a bottle against it.
49:20Let me tell the story of an old lady fair, standing sentinel across the years in the city's
49:47Bonnie Square.
49:48Let me tell the story of the journey down to hell from the dear, dilapidated Walsingham
49:57Hotel.
49:58Some came to stay, to rest, to play.
50:15Some came to labor every day.
50:18Some came to sound the passing bell for the dear old Walsingham Hotel.
50:25But who killed Captain Victor Orr?
50:41Princess, waiter, maid or more?
50:44Who came to sound the final bell for the dear old Walsingham Hotel?
50:51Well then, that's that.
50:52What was that?
50:53Edith!
50:54Edith!
50:55Edith!
50:56Are you okay?

51:25I'm not so hungry!
51:26è, no!
51:27That's what she was looking for!
51:28It's not so.
51:29I'm here to sleep!
51:30It's not a perfect soul!
51:31No!
51:32No, I'm not a happy soul!
51:33No!
51:34No!
51:35No!
51:36My heart is so hungry!
51:37No, I'm not a happy soul!

51:41No!
