00:00:00Two weeks. Fourteen. Days.
00:00:25You have a visitor.
00:00:30You can't help being a gentleman can you?
00:00:42Fret not.
00:00:44Drilled into one when too young to resist.
00:00:47How are you?
00:00:49The governor's allowed me the use of a typewriter.
00:00:52So I'm going ahead with that story we talked about.
00:00:55That's good.
00:00:57Isn't it? Keeps the mind off things.
00:01:00Hardly if you remember the plot.
00:01:02But yes it does help. Concentrating.
00:01:06I want you to know that I haven't been idle.
00:01:09And that certain interesting things are coming to light that point to suicide.
00:01:13I've been to see Boyce's cousin Urquhart.
00:01:16He's quite a smooth character you know.
00:01:18He's been cooperative.
00:01:20Peter let's not talk about it.
00:01:22No.
00:01:23No.
00:01:28Are you still going to marry me?
00:01:30Of course.
00:01:31Why? What's so fascinating about me Peter?
00:01:34Well.
00:01:35There's a dark side to you.
00:01:36Something about a murderess that draws you.
00:01:39Excites you.
00:01:40It can't be that can it.
00:01:41Because I know you're not a murderess.
00:01:43Well what is it then?
00:01:45You are bearing in mind aren't you that I've had a lover.
00:01:49Oh yes.
00:01:50So have I.
00:01:51Several in fact.
00:01:53It's the sort of thing that could happen to anyone.
00:01:57I can produce quite good testimonials.
00:02:00I'm told I make love rather nicely.
00:02:02Though I am at a bit of a disadvantage at the moment.
00:02:04One can't be too convincing the other end of a table with a bloke looking through the window.
00:02:08I'll take your word for it.
00:02:10Of course.
00:02:11I won't always be at this disadvantage.
00:02:13But I might bet an even greater one.
00:02:16Don't be so damn discouraging.
00:02:19Anybody would think you had no confidence in me.
00:02:21Peter people have been wrongly condemned before now.
00:02:24Only because I wasn't there.
00:02:26Oh I never thought of that.
00:02:34Have you dealt with the Mortimer letter yet Miss Murchison?
00:02:38Almost finished Mr. Pond.
00:02:42You must see that he catches the last post.
00:02:44Most important.
00:02:45Yes Mr. Pond.
00:02:49I'm off now Mr. Pond.
00:02:50One moment.
00:02:51Excuse me Mr. Urquhart.
00:02:52Miss Murchison.
00:02:53Do you have that letter for Mr. Urquhart to sign?
00:02:55Oh yes of course.
00:02:57Oh yes.
00:02:58Good.
00:02:59Remind me to deal with the carpenter file first thing in the morning.
00:03:03I have made a note of it Mr. Urquhart.
00:03:04Good.
00:03:06Good night Mr. Urquhart.
00:03:07Good night.
00:03:09Good night Mr. Urquhart.
00:03:11Good night.
00:03:12Good night.
00:03:13Good night.
00:03:14Mr. Urquhart seems pleasant enough.
00:03:16A point of interest may be to investigate his financial activities.
00:03:21Find out if Mr. Urquhart had had any dealings with the Megatherian Trust before their big crash.
00:03:28Get Mr. Arbath not on the phone for me.
00:03:30Very good, Milo.
00:03:31As you know, I've done a good bit in stockbroker's offices one way and another.
00:03:36And there was a particular call for him which I wasn't meant to hear.
00:03:41It wouldn't have told the ordinary person much.
00:03:44But it did need, because I knew something about the man at the other end.
00:03:49Miss Murchison, you are a brick.
00:03:53Morning, Mr. Freddie.
00:03:54Lord Peter for you.
00:03:59Freddie.
00:04:01Are we seeing you down at Duke Stenberg at the weekend?
00:04:05Good.
00:04:06Look, could you get your city charms to do a bit of financial sleuthing for me?
00:04:10Share dealings in the Megatherian Trust by a Norman Urquhart?
00:04:14Yes, see you Saturday.
00:04:24That's very interesting.
00:04:27Very interesting indeed.
00:04:29What if you throw that man at the pond for?
00:04:42Well, that's the only thing we've been playing croquet under water.
00:04:45You really are annoyed, Nigel.
00:04:47I suppose he's got me on it.
00:04:48Come on, Kingley.
00:04:49I've had my font.
00:04:51I've lost my slippers.
00:04:52He's probably in a lilly pot.
00:04:54I've no class.
00:04:56Well, you'll just have to drink out of Mandy's last slipper.
00:04:58Vintage crew, out of Mandy's slipper.
00:05:00You'll be the stripper lips.
00:05:02Oh, Kipper, your slipper, I'll drink from your slipper.
00:05:05Mandy, you've got nothing to do with this.
00:05:06Tony's asked Tessa to tango.
00:05:09Oh, come on.
00:05:10You'll never be the same again, Tessa.
00:05:13You're not going to tango with Tony.
00:05:15No, come on, man.
00:05:16You've never asked me.
00:05:17You're so lovely.
00:05:18You're lovely.
00:05:19You're brilliant.
00:05:19Tango, your fandango.
00:05:21I'll dance.
00:05:22No tango.
00:05:23No tango.
00:05:24No tango.
00:05:25Yes, I've really been sleuthing like stink on the tracks of your man.
00:05:41Anything transpired, as the journalists say?
00:05:44Hmm.
00:05:45I'm afraid Urquhart's been very careful, though.
00:05:47Well, bound to be.
00:05:48Respectable family lawyer and all that.
00:05:51But, ah, I saw a man yesterday who knows a fellow who had a...
00:05:55from a chappie that said Urquhart.
00:05:57I've been jumping a bit recklessly off the deep end.
00:06:02Are you sure of this, Freddie?
00:06:04Well, not absolutely sure.
00:06:06But this man, you see, owes me one, so to speak.
00:06:10Hmm.
00:06:11Having warned him off the megatherium before the band began to play.
00:06:14And he thinks if he can get hold of this chappie he knows,
00:06:19well, not the fellow that told him, you understand, but the other one,
00:06:22that he might be able to get something out of it,
00:06:24especially if I could put this other chappie in the way of something or other.
00:06:29What?
00:06:34Slight miscue.
00:06:37And no doubt, Freddie, you have secrets to sell.
00:06:41Yes, I could make it worth this other chappie's while.
00:06:44Because I've an idea to this other fellow that my bloke knows that the chappie's rather up against it.
00:06:51I don't know, I dare. You spoke Swahili so well, old chap.
00:06:56Lucky one, old chap.
00:06:57Lucky one I've been.
00:07:01Lucky one I've been.
00:07:02Lucky one I've been.
00:07:04Lucky one I've been.
00:07:38Oh, that was...
00:07:52You really do play with great feeling.
00:07:56Sounds better on the harpsichord, actually.
00:07:59But I haven't quite got room for one here.
00:08:04By the way, did you make an inquiry about the typewriter?
00:08:06Yes, it was bought new three years ago.
00:08:10Only three years?
00:08:12Ah, that's good.
00:08:14By the way, you were probably quite right about Erkut's connection with the Megatherium Trust.
00:08:19You are highly commended, Miss Murchison.
00:08:22Now, here's the letter you sent me.
00:08:25Now, you noticed, of course, the capital A is slightly out of alignment and the P chipped.
00:08:29Yes.
00:08:30Well, Erkut showed me what he claimed was the carbon copy of a will made ten years ago by Mrs. Rayburn, typed on the jolly same machine.
00:08:38But that's impossible.
00:08:40Now, I didn't ask to see it.
00:08:43He volunteered it.
00:08:44I go to see him on Tuesday.
00:08:47He pretends to look for the copy of Mrs. Rayburn's will, remembers he's got it at home.
00:08:51I go and see him the next day, and he shows it to me.
00:08:54But, tight, especially overnight, to deceive you.
00:08:57Very, very possibly.
00:08:59Conclusion, if there is a will, it's obviously not along the lines of the one he showed me.
00:09:04Yes, it does rather look like that.
00:09:06So, what do I want of you, Miss Murchison?
00:09:13Actually, I'm going to ask you to do something unlawful.
00:09:18Well, what am I to do?
00:09:21Steal the deed box?
00:09:23What a truly splendid creature you are, Miss Murchison.
00:09:27I want you to open the box, look for the original will, and commit anything important in it to memory.
00:09:33I particularly want to know if anything was left to filly boys.
00:09:37But all the deed boxes are kept locked, and only Mr. Rayburn has the keys.
00:09:41Yes, I've thought of that.
00:09:45I don't suppose you have the faintest idea how to pick a lock, Miss Murchison.
00:09:50No, I'm afraid not.
00:09:52No idea whatsoever.
00:09:55I sometimes wonder what we went to school for.
00:10:03I don't know if, but I feel the last time is gray.
00:12:44Good night.
00:12:46Good night.

00:19:21miss Murchison do you realize that you've left out a whole paragraph of the
00:19:25first page of the serpidipid? have I? I'm very sorry. it's most annoying as it is the
00:19:30longest and most important of the three an urgently required first thing in the
00:19:34morning. I can't think I made such a silly mistake. I'll stay on and retype it. I'm
00:19:39afraid you'll have to. it's most annoying as I shan't be able to look at it myself
00:19:42but there we are nothing could be done. please check it carefully this time. make
00:19:47certain that Hanson's have it this evening. yes Mr. Rackert. I'll be extremely
00:19:51careful and I'll take it by myself. very well don't let it happen again.
00:19:55I'm very sorry.
00:20:04more typing to do this evening miss Murchison? the whole bally thing again.
00:20:12left out a paragraph on page one. it would be page one of course. and he wants it round at
00:20:19Hanson's tonight. those typing machines make you careless. now in the old days we
00:20:25Clarks worked accurately. yes Mr. Pond. we know all about the old days and I'm damn glad I miss them.
00:20:32we worked accurately and neatly.
00:20:35good night Mr. Erkington. good night. I expect you will have finished before the
00:20:46cleaner goes. if not kindly make sure all the doors and windows are closed and
00:20:53leave the keys of Mrs. Hodges in the basement. yes Mr. Pond. good night then.
00:21:05good night Mr. Pond.
00:21:35good night.
00:22:05good night.
00:22:12good night.
00:22:18good night.
00:23:02Now you say there is a will but it isn't in the box.
00:23:18How do you know there is one then?
00:23:21There were several documents.
00:23:23Not I think of much interest to you Lord Peter.
00:23:26But a letter did seem interesting and I made a note of it.
00:23:29It was from Mrs. Rayburn to Mr. Urquhart and dated May the 15th 1920.
00:23:36In it she refers to her will which she has just made.
00:23:39The letter doesn't indicate what's in the will.
00:23:42No Lord Peter.
00:23:43But and this seems significant.
00:23:45It mentions a deed of trust she proposed to make in Mr. Urquhart's favour.
00:23:50That is significant.
00:23:51Do you have its terms?
00:23:52Oh yes.
00:23:55Mrs. Rayburn said in her letter.
00:23:58So I have determined to put my property in trust with you for my lifetime.
00:24:04So that you may have full power to handle everything according to your own discretion.
00:24:09Without having to consult me every time.
00:24:11So although she can leave her estate to somebody else after her death.
00:24:17Urquhart has the control of it during her life.
00:24:20You have done famously Miss Murchison.
00:24:22Have another glass of sherry.
00:24:24Oh thank you Lord Peter.
00:24:25But I must deliver this to Hanson's tonight.
00:24:28Are you quite sure?
00:24:29Oh positively so.
00:24:30You have been most resourceful Miss Murchison.
00:24:33And I am in your debt.
00:24:34Oh um.
00:24:37I'll answer that.
00:24:38Good night.
00:24:39And thank you.
00:24:40Thank you Lord Peter.
00:24:47Whimsy.
00:24:49Important news Peter.
00:24:50Though I don't think you'll find it altogether good.
00:24:53The publican at the Nine Rings has found the packet.
00:24:56It slipped down behind some pipes.
00:24:59Yes.
00:24:59We've analysed it.
00:25:00Traces of bicarbonate of soda.
00:25:02Yes.
00:25:05Puts paid to the suicide theory I'm afraid.
00:25:07And that's no help to Harriet Vane.
00:25:09No.
00:25:13No help at all.
00:25:27Paper.
00:25:28Paper.
00:25:30Miss Harriet Vane to face retro.
00:25:33Take fix for new hearing.
00:25:36Paper.
00:25:36Paper.
00:25:39Charles.
00:25:40What have you found?
00:25:41Ah look Peter.
00:25:42I don't want you to become too optimistic.
00:25:44Damn it man.
00:25:45You get bunted to track me halfway across London.
00:25:46You must have found something.
00:25:48Philip Boyes.
00:25:49They're missing ten minutes.
00:25:50Ah.
00:25:50We found the pub.
00:25:52And it seems that there was a man there who fits a description.
00:25:54A man who answers the description of Boyes.
00:25:56What's more feeling ill and producing a packet of white powder.
00:26:00The arsenic.
00:26:01Could have been arsenic.
00:26:02Wonderful.
00:26:02Excellent news.
00:26:04I knew you'd react like this.
00:26:05But why not my own?
00:26:06Because I am convinced that this suicide theory you have about boys is rubbish.
00:26:12Rubbish?
00:26:12Your vision's clouded because of her.
00:26:14Harriet Vane.
00:26:16Peter.
00:26:17Can you tell me in all honesty that you're not allowing your judgment to be affected by
00:26:23your emotions?
00:26:24Yes.
00:26:24I can.
00:26:26Peter.
00:26:26Peter.
00:26:27Peter.
00:26:27Peter.
00:26:27Peter.
00:26:27Peter.
00:26:29Peter.
00:26:29Peter.
00:26:31Peter.
00:26:31Peter.
00:26:31Peter.
00:26:32Peter.
00:26:33Peter.
00:26:34Peter.
00:26:35Peter.
00:26:36Peter.
00:26:37Peter.
00:26:38Peter.
00:26:39Peter.
00:26:40Peter.
00:26:41Peter.
00:26:41Peter.
00:26:46Not arsenic.
00:26:49Bicarbonate of soda.
00:26:51Bicarbonate of soda.
00:26:54Bicarbonate of soda?
00:26:55How wonderfully mundane.
00:26:58I раскryptive to say the least.
00:27:01So I was wrong about Philip then killing himself and now it looks more than ever as
00:27:05if I did it.
00:27:07you mustn't give way it's easy to say I can tell you I've come up with something very
00:27:10interesting something that could easily please what don't please don't you know
00:27:17tell me things to give me hope no no I'm not making things up to cheer you I can
00:27:23tell you I'm going straight from here to visit Miss Clemson a lady of infinite
00:27:26resource don't really really hear me out I'm sending her on a mission and I'm
00:27:30absolutely certain that this one is the key Peter you are you're very sweet but
00:27:37but me no buts I'm certain now real how's the story coming along it isn't too
00:27:48close to me I suppose
00:27:53I was driving something funny to say I can't
00:27:59you'll feel funny all the time yes it would
00:28:07good morning Lord Peter
00:28:26oh Lord Peter you're rather silly to be caught like this I just dropped my eraser and it seems to have taken an eccentric bounce
00:28:39forget your eraser Miss Clemson I have a job for you you seem Lord Peter your toes yes I'm in a rotten mood I'm sorry it's nothing personal the fact is I can't think of anyone but your good self to do this job I have in mind and it's urgent
00:28:52oh how kind of you to put it like that what's more I don't in the least know how you sit about it it all depends on what you find when you get there
00:28:59might I suggest you sit down Lord Peter and try to encapsulate the essence of what it is you wish me to do
00:29:05you are to go to Windle in Westmoreland and seek out a paralyzed and imbecile old lady called Mrs. Rayburn she lives in a house called Appleford I don't know how you get in there but there must be somebody who looks after her perhaps that's the way in but anyway you have to get in and find out where her will is kept and when you've got it you have to read it and let me know what the contents are
00:29:12oh dear and what's more you've only got a week to do it in. that's a very short time. miss Vane's life may be at stake you see unless I can find a very good reason for delay and the fact that you have to do it in the past.
00:29:19I don't know how you get in there but there must be somebody who looks after her perhaps that's the way in but anyway you have to get in and find out where her will is kept and when you've got it you have to read it and let me know what the contents are.
00:29:30Oh dear.
00:29:32And what's more you've only got a week to do it in.
00:29:35That's a very short time.
00:29:37Miss Vane's life may be at stake.
00:29:39You see unless I can find a very good reason for delay in the form of new evidence the case is bound to come up on the 17th.
00:29:45Dear me.
00:29:46And I have nothing.
00:29:47Except for this.
00:29:48Except this idea which you must turn into evidence.
00:29:51Well one can only do one's best.
00:29:55This investigation of mine is directed I take it at Mr. Urquhart.
00:30:00Yes he is Mrs. Rayburn's great nephew.
00:30:02Yes I wasn't absolutely sure to what degree they're related.
00:30:05Find out anything anything at all to his disadvantage.
00:30:08And this imbecile and paralyzed old lady as you describe her must have some female companion.
00:30:15Yes a nurse possibly.
00:30:17Yes.
00:30:18And that I think is where I could play the Trojan horse.
00:30:22The sleuth in sheep's clothing.
00:30:26Well when do I start?
00:30:33Yes a nurse.
00:30:34Are you sure?
00:30:35Yes a nurse.
00:30:38Now I'm feeling that I can't stand on a horse.
00:30:40cards simply aren't working for me at all this evening bunter. third hand I played and never
00:30:52once looked like getting out. hardly surprising my lord. as you say hardly surprising and it
00:31:01would be the queen of spades. I shouldn't attach too much importance to it my lord. I'm hardly at
00:31:06home to anyone bunter. shall I ignore it my lord? no. better see who it is.
00:31:20evening bunter. lord peter at home. hardly at home to anyone. evening mr. freddy. come in. thank you bunter.
00:31:26evening old bean. dear old thing. welcome surprise. how goes the world?
00:31:34um have a drink. get bunter your coat. no no no I can't stay. en passant as the frenchies say.
00:31:40no I actually. time for the tot surely. scotch mr. freddy. no no you mustn't linger. call by really to give you the dope on Urquhart.
00:31:46just got it from my chappy that he did do a pretty high dive into megatherium trust and therefore must
00:31:54have lost a considerable packet. that is good news. one man's misfortune and all that. now I can hope
00:32:01only that miss Clemson is storming the battlements. the battlements.
00:32:05well lord peter at the third attempt I found this quite suitable boarding house.
00:32:15it is very well run and refined and there are three elderly ladies who are permanent boarders here
00:32:22and are well up in all the gossip of the town. so that nothing could be more advantageous for our
00:32:29purpose. this morning I went out for a little voyage of discovery.
00:32:35mrs rayburn yes. I found a very helpful policeman in the town square and asked him where I might
00:32:41find mrs rayburn's house. he knew it quite well and told me to take the omnibus and it would be a
00:32:49three-halfpenny ride to the fisherman's arms and then about 15 minutes walk. so I followed his
00:32:56directions and the bus took me right out into the country. I made further inquiries concerning the
00:33:05house from the conductor and once again he was most helpful and polite and told me which direction I
00:33:11should take to the rayburn house. I looked at it from the road for some little time and then decided I
00:33:20must get a closer look the grounds are enormous. it was a delightful walk up the long private road
00:33:37that approached the house but I began to feel a little uneasy in case my presence might cause suspicion
00:33:45to the inhabitants. the garden seemed very neglected and as I drew nearer I could see that most of the
00:33:52blinds were drawn as though the greater part of the house was uninhabited. I could certainly not see
00:33:59anybody about. I turned away and was considering what I should do next when something prompted me to
00:34:09turn back. it was most fortunate that I did. this person turned out to be Miss Booth, nurse and guardian to
00:34:19Mrs. Rayburn and reputedly with an interest, spiritualism. also my friend Mrs. Pegler, a very stout
00:34:28fussy old lady with a very busy tongue, informed me. I then discovered that Miss Booth was in the habit of
00:34:37frequenting a cafe in Windle called the Oriental.
00:35:07she's got this. excuse me doesn't this little package belong to you? I picked it up just outside the door. no it's not ours.
00:35:14she's got this. excuse me is this little parcel yours? no no it's not ours.
00:35:21uh no no it isn't mine.
00:35:28uh no no it isn't mine.
00:35:31uh so kind of but I only have two articles and they're both here. oh how very odd.
00:35:36I'm not sure someone must have dropped it coming in here.
00:35:38I wonder what I'd better do with it. I shouldn't think it's very valuable but one never knows.
00:35:43you could hand it into the cashier in case the owner comes back.
00:35:46oh how clever of you. you must think they're very foolish but the idea never occurred to me.
00:35:53not very practical I'm afraid. I could never take up your profession could I?
00:35:59any little emergency leaves me quite bewildered. largely a question of training.
00:36:06and self-training too of course. all these little weaknesses can be cured by placing the mind under higher control.
00:36:13don't you think that? yes I suppose that's true. such a mistake to imagine that anything in the mental sphere is either large or small.
00:36:34our least thoughts and actions are equally directed by higher centers of spiritual power if we can bring ourselves to believe that.
00:36:42what would you like to order madam?
00:36:44oh I seem to have intruded myself on your table.
00:36:47oh don't get up please.
00:36:48oh really you're quite sure?
00:36:50I don't wish to interrupt you.
00:36:52not at all. I live a very solitary life. always glad for a friend to talk to.
00:36:55oh how very nice.
00:36:57well I'll have scones and butter and a pot of tea please.
00:37:01thank you mom.
00:37:02yours is just coming mom.
00:37:06pardon me but I see you're a student of spiritualism.
00:37:10a very elementary student.
00:37:14isn't it a wee bit dangerous?
00:37:17I have been told I'm a sensitive myself but I've never dared to try.
00:37:22it's not dangerous if you know the right way.
00:37:25unfortunately I'm not mediumistic myself.
00:37:29did you say you have mediumistic qualities?
00:37:32well I have been told so.
00:37:33you're obviously a very sympathetic person.
00:37:38it's quite possible we could get good results if we sat together.
00:37:43and the spirits are pathetically eager to communicate.
00:37:46oh but I must tell you I wouldn't like to try unless I was sure of the person.
00:37:49there are so many fraudulent mediums around.
00:37:52but with someone like yourself one would be absolutely safe.
00:37:56well I'm not sure.
00:37:57oh please I do know we are a sympathetic blend.
00:38:01oh well.
00:38:04well I'm willing to try.
00:38:05good.
00:38:07good.
00:38:08good.
00:38:09I have stormed the citadel.
00:38:12I am going to the house tonight.
00:38:14and you may expect great things.
00:38:17in haste to catch the evening post,
00:38:19yours very sincerely,
00:38:22Catherine A. Clemson.

00:40:56First class frame, pride of place, fresh flowers.
00:41:03I think Harry's passed over yes sorry to keep you waiting the old dear was particularly trying
00:41:19this evening but she'll be all right now for a couple of hours perhaps we can make a start
00:41:25oh yes straight away I'm so eager to try this is the table we usually use do we sit in the light not
00:41:34full light strong light shatters the spillage you see so I usually use one of these it's quite
00:41:44right enough for taking notes you see will you take them very well which side shall you sit oh
00:41:52this will do for me you don't mind the light behind you then no no not at all good it will help screen
00:42:05the rays from the tables that's rather what I thought

00:48:17Oh, but, Mrs. Rayburn, I've just left you.
00:48:21Have you passed over?
00:48:22No, not yet.
00:48:24In exile.
00:48:26Are you still in the body?
00:48:28Not in the body, not out of the body.
00:48:32What you call the mind has departed.
00:48:36The spirit awaits the great change.
00:48:41Oh.
00:48:42You wanted our help.
00:48:44Are you in trouble, Mrs. Rayburn?
00:48:46Trouble, great trouble.
00:48:49My will.
00:48:50You want to alter your will?
00:48:53No, but you must make haste.
00:48:57Send it to Norman.
00:48:59Norman Urquhart?
00:49:00Yes, yes.
00:49:02He knows.
00:49:04But make haste, make haste.
00:49:06The will.
00:49:06Is it in the safe?
00:49:07Make haste.

00:49:16Oh.
00:49:18Oh, extraordinary.
00:49:19I never knew I had the gift.
00:49:21I was completely taken over.
00:49:24Oh, dear.
00:49:25I wish she'd answered about the safe.
00:49:29Yes, yes, that's a pity.
00:49:30But that's obviously the place to look, isn't it?
00:49:32Yes, but there's a combination.
00:49:36Combination?
00:49:37Yes, and I don't know what it is.
00:49:40Oh, dear.
00:49:43You have a wonderful gift, Catherine.
00:49:46Well, I don't know about that, Lucy.
00:49:48It's a pity.
00:49:48Catherine.
00:49:49Yes?
00:49:50You don't think that Mrs. Rabin has died, do you?
00:49:53Oh, no, no.
00:49:54You heard her, waiting for the great change.
00:49:58Oh, of course.
00:49:59The great change.
00:50:02The little black book.
00:50:04Little black book?
00:50:05I've seen Mr. Urquhart consulted.
00:50:07Do you know where it is?
00:50:08It's in the dressing table.
00:50:09Dressing table?
00:50:10Has he got a lock?
00:50:11Yes, but I know where the key is.
00:50:13Oh, come on.
00:50:14Come on.
00:50:19Oh, come on.
00:50:49It's all right, Mrs. Rabin.

00:51:54oh isn't that splendid it was so late i stayed the night i was hoping to get the opportunity
00:52:14to steam open the envelope but unfortunately it didn't occur i've just left miss boove now at the
00:52:19post office dispatching it to mr norman urquhart she wrote an excellent covering letter which she
00:52:25showed me explaining the circumstances but mentioning no names isn't that good anyway
00:52:31i'm afraid now lord peter it's up to our miss murchison to uncover the secrets you must contact
00:52:37her without delay i will do that miss clemson and you've done a wonderful job wonderful
00:52:49is anything the matter mr pond no nothing foolish letter from a foolish member of your sex that's
00:53:06nothing new

00:53:36you
00:53:39can you read shorthand mr pond
00:53:41no in my day that was not considered necessary
00:53:44well i couldn't quite make out this outline it looks like give consent to but it could be
00:53:50give consideration to there's a difference isn't there most certainly is perhaps i'd better
00:53:56not risk it it's got to go off this morning i better ask him
00:54:01I've told you miss Murchison I'd like to knock before entering. oh I'm so sorry I
00:54:07forgot. well don't let it happen again. now what is it? I couldn't quite make up my
00:54:11shorthand note from your letter to Tuke and Peabody and I thought it better to
00:54:15come and ask you. I do wish you take your notes more clearly at the time. if I'm
00:54:17going too fast for you you should tell me. it would save time and trouble in the
00:54:21end now wouldn't it? yes mr. I can't. yes well now then what seems to be the trouble?
00:54:27stone walls do not a prison make nor iron bars a cage. minds innocent and quiet
00:54:36take that for an hermitage. if I have freedom in my love and in my soul I'm free
00:54:46angels alone that soar above enjoy such liberty
00:54:57love this world.

00:56:41fifty thousand pounds is left to Philip Boyes also cash. fifty thousand cash. the
00:56:48remainder is left to Norman Urquhart who's appointed sole executor. sole
00:56:53executor who's already gambled away Boyes's fifty thousand on the
00:56:56megatherian trust. and there you have it. motive. motive miss Murchison. yes Lord
00:57:01Peter. I knew there was something fishy about that will but I still can't
00:57:07understand why after she was so badly treated by the boy's family. but there
00:57:11was a relevant paragraph. the greater part of the property is left to Philip Boyes
00:57:17in token that the testatrix forgives the ill treatment meted out to her by his
00:57:22family for which he Philip was not responsible. rather touching. what? all
00:57:29becomes clear. eh Freddie? the will was dated 5th of June 1920 and the witnesses
00:57:34were Eva Gabbin's housekeeper and John Briggs a gardener. congratulations miss
00:57:38Murchison. we will celebrate immediately with a bottle of pomeray. before we do Lord Peter
00:57:44I think you should see this. there was about two ounces of this mysterious white
00:57:51powder in a packet in Mr. Urquhart's safe. my word what have we here?
00:58:01this is work for Bunter's darkroom I'd say.
00:58:21working or something? lovely lovely. lovely. is that arsenic? I hope so. it's either arsenic or antimony.
00:58:44allow me my lord. the addition of a small quantity of solid chlorinated lime should decide the question beyond reach of Kevin.
00:58:51arsenic definitely. of course it's arsenic. didn't I always say so? is that all? isn't that enough? not quite.
00:58:58quick Bunter pour the champagne. Parker's about to pour the cold water.
00:59:05we've merely proved that Urquhart has arsenic in his possession. by the way I noticed it's ordinary white arsenic acid without any mixing.
00:59:12of charcoal or indigo. which agrees with what was found at the post-mortem. now that's satisfactory.
00:59:19thank you Bunter. help yourself.
00:59:21of course it's arsenic. of course it's arsenic. didn't I always say so?
00:59:24is that all? isn't that enough?
00:59:26not quite.
00:59:27quick Bunter pour the champagne. Parker's about to pour the cold water.
00:59:31by the way I noticed it's ordinary white arsenic acid without any mixture of charcoal or indigo.
00:59:36which agrees with what was found at the post-mortem. now that's satisfactory.
00:59:41thank you Bunter. help yourself. thank you my lord.
00:59:43but it would be even more satisfactory if we could provide an opportunity for Urquhart to have administered it.
00:59:48unfortunately all we've done so far is demonstrate clearly that he couldn't have given it to boys during the dinner.
00:59:54i.e. in exactly the period right for the symptoms when they later appeared.
00:59:59to convince a jury I should prefer something better than a credo queer impossibile.
01:00:04riddle me right and riddle me re we've forgotten something that's all.
01:00:07probably something quite obvious.
01:00:09give me the statutory dressing gown and ounce of shag and I will endeavour to dispose of this little difficulty in a brace of shakes.
01:00:16in the meantime Parker I trust you will stand by to arrest the right man when the moment comes?
01:00:21gladly.
01:00:22gladly
01:02:26I couldn't sleep, my lord.
01:02:28I wondered if I could get you anything.
01:02:31No, thanks.
01:02:34Let's have a cigarette.
01:02:35I've been thinking about what appears to be the crux of the matter.
01:02:45Crux, my lord?
01:02:45Oh.
01:02:47Obviously.
01:02:49It's that last meal between Erkert and boys.
01:02:53That's the crux and the key.
01:02:54Now, Anna Westlock said that nothing that was eaten upstairs wasn't eaten by herself and cook later.
01:03:14Her actual words, my lord, were, cook and me are just the same.
01:03:17And all as sweet as could be, except, of course, for the omelette.
01:03:22The omelette.
01:03:24It was made with four eggs.
01:03:26Yes, my lord.
01:03:27And Anna Westlock remarked that one of the eggs was cracked.
01:03:29Cracked.
01:03:30But they was the last four in the house.
01:03:33The last four in the house.
01:03:36One of them was cracked.
01:03:40Through that crack, Hunter, there shines the light of revelation.
01:03:46A light burning with ever-increasing brightness.
01:03:51A light blinding in its intensity.
01:03:55Would you care for cocoa, my lord?
01:03:58Anna Westlock and your way with the ladies.
01:04:01My lord.
01:04:02You are to play upon her susceptibilities once more and discover the name of Erkert's hairdresser.
01:04:08Mr. Erkert's hairdresser.
01:04:09And when you have found it, you are to pay him a visit.
01:04:16When in the next few hours, the guilty party will be arrested and Harriet Vane, completely vindicated, will be a free woman.
01:04:29But the retrial is tomorrow, Peter.
01:04:31Are you really that confident?
01:04:33Absolutely and completely.
01:04:35I would never, I may be a bit of a fool, but never would I make such a statement.
01:04:38Peter, I do believe you.
01:04:42It's just hard for it to sink in, you know.
01:04:43It's hard to believe the end of the nightmare.
01:04:47Yes.
01:04:49It'll take some time.
01:04:50No doubt about it.
01:04:52You have been wonderful, the way you've supported me and acted on my behalf.
01:04:58It was nothing.
01:05:00You are the woman I would spend the rest of my life with.
01:05:02How else could I have behaved?
01:05:03You're such a romantic, Peter.
01:05:07A sort of latter-day knight-errant, searching for opportunities to perform deeds of valour, rescue damsels in distress.
01:05:13What's wrong with that?
01:05:15I've had a lover, Peter.
01:05:17I've been accused of murdering him.
01:05:18I'm not going to rush into another affair.
01:05:21Marriage?
01:05:22Marriage affair.
01:05:23What's the difference?
01:05:24It's supposed to be love, isn't it?
01:05:27I'm sorry.
01:05:28And I'm sorry.
01:05:34Sorry I can't say I love you.
01:05:38And even...
01:05:40Because I do like you.
01:05:44Even if we did get married, it wouldn't be fair to you.
01:05:46So please stop asking me.
01:05:48I don't know.
01:05:49I can't think.
01:05:50I can't see beyond the next two weeks.
01:05:52I just want to be out of this, to be left alone.
01:05:57I'm going away.
01:05:59I've always wanted to travel to Greece, Venice.
01:06:04You're such a romantic, Harriet.
01:06:09At least I can make you laugh.
01:06:13And surely that's better than tears.
01:06:15Yes.
01:06:22Yes, Pond.
01:06:27Oh.
01:06:28Put him through, please.
01:06:31Ah, Lord Peter.
01:06:32This is an unexpected pleasure.
01:06:36A drink this evening.
01:06:37Oh, I shall be delighted.
01:06:40It was six o'clock it is then.
01:06:42I shall look forward to it.
01:06:52I thought perhaps the cordon bleu, my lord.
01:06:57That'll do splendidly.
01:06:59Very good, my lord.
01:06:59I shall decant it at once.
01:07:00Oh, and make some of that filthy Turkish coffee for Mr. Erkett.
01:07:03I'll have my usual mocker, my lord.
01:07:09My dear Lord Peter,
01:07:11all that you've been saying for the last hour
01:07:13regarding my unfortunate cousin's demise
01:07:15is most interesting, but...
01:07:18Really, there is nothing fresh there, is there?
01:07:20Well, you know, these really are excellent.
01:07:22Excellent.
01:07:23Mmm.
01:07:24The genuine Eastern variety.
01:07:27Bunter's choice.
01:07:27I'll tell him it was appreciated.
01:07:29Perhaps I'd better come to the latest discoveries.
01:07:32Megatherium trust, for example.
01:07:34Megatherium trust?
01:07:35Played pretty steeply there, didn't you?
01:07:37I had some shares in it, yes.
01:07:39Some losses.
01:07:40Best part of 50,000 pounds, I'd say.
01:07:4250,000 pounds?
01:07:43But that's ridiculous.
01:07:44About the same amount as was left to Philip Boyes
01:07:46in the genuine will, the original will,
01:07:48drawn up by you under Mrs. Rayburn's instructions.
01:07:51Now, in the phony will, it was stated
01:07:53that nothing should be left to any member
01:07:55of the Boyes family
01:07:56on account of the abominable treatment
01:07:57meted out by that family to Mrs. Rayburn,
01:07:59but I quote from the genuine will.
01:08:04The greater part of the property
01:08:05is left to Philip Boyes
01:08:07in token that the testatrix
01:08:09forgives the ill treatment
01:08:10meted out to her by his family
01:08:12for which he, Philip, wasn't responsible.
01:08:14May I ask how you have obtained
01:08:16this very remarkable information?
01:08:19The police.
01:08:21Wonderful thing, police organizations.
01:08:24Remarkable what they can come up with
01:08:25when they put their minds to it.
01:08:27More coffee?
01:08:28No, thank you.
01:08:30You're not denying any of this, I assume?
01:08:33Well, I'm listening.
01:08:34When you have finished
01:08:35this extraordinary statement,
01:08:37I may perhaps discover
01:08:38what it is I have to deny.
01:08:40It was simply the poisoning
01:08:42of Philip Boyes.
01:08:44You must admit the motive is there.
01:08:46Well, allowing that this
01:08:47preposterous accusation were true,
01:08:50which I must emphatically deny,
01:08:53I would be most interested to know
01:08:54how you imagine that I
01:08:57administered the arsenic.
01:08:58Now, have you worked out
01:08:59something ingenious for that?
01:09:01It was, in fact,
01:09:03the whole episode of the meal
01:09:04with a careful accountant
01:09:05for every dish
01:09:06to support the idea
01:09:07that nothing could possibly contain
01:09:08poison that attracted
01:09:10my attention to you
01:09:11right from the start.
01:09:13It was the omelet, wasn't it?
01:09:15But the omelet?
01:09:16Oh, that's ridiculous.
01:09:18Well, I mean, I ate it
01:09:19with absolutely no ill effects
01:09:20and, damn it,
01:09:21my cousin made it himself.
01:09:23So he did.
01:09:24Four eggs, if I remember rightly.
01:09:26I think I'm also right
01:09:27in saying that one of them
01:09:28was cracked
01:09:29when they were brought
01:09:29to the table.
01:09:30Possibly, I don't remember.
01:09:32But Hannah Westlock does.
01:09:33No.
01:09:34It is, in fact,
01:09:35quite easy to introduce
01:09:36a little powdered arsenic
01:09:37into a cracked egg.
01:09:38I've made the same
01:09:39experiment myself.
01:09:40Are you suggesting
01:09:41that in whisking
01:09:42four eggs together
01:09:43one particular poisoned egg
01:09:44was somehow kept
01:09:45miraculously separated
01:09:46from the rest
01:09:47and deposited
01:09:48with this load of arsenic
01:09:49at one end of the omelet only?
01:09:50Or that my cousin
01:09:51deliberately helped himself
01:09:53to the poisoned end
01:09:54and left the rest to me?
01:09:55Not at all.
01:09:56I'm merely suggesting
01:09:57that the arsenic
01:09:58was in the omelet
01:09:59and came there
01:09:59by way of the egg.
01:10:00Well, there seems to be
01:10:01flaws in your theory
01:10:02as well as in the eggs.
01:10:04Continuing on the subject
01:10:05of omelets,
01:10:06that is to say arsenic.
01:10:08It's not good for people
01:10:09in the general way,
01:10:10as you know.
01:10:11But there are these
01:10:11tiresome Syrian peasants
01:10:13one reads about so much
01:10:14who take it for fun.
01:10:16Good for the wind,
01:10:17they say.
01:10:17Clears the complexion,
01:10:18keeps the hair sleek.
01:10:20They give it to their horses
01:10:21for the same reason.
01:10:22Not that horses have complexions,
01:10:23of course.
01:10:24Though hair, certainly.
01:10:26And as we know,
01:10:27wind.
01:10:28But I digress.
01:10:29No, no.
01:10:29Most interesting.
01:10:30And it is attested
01:10:32that that horrid man
01:10:33Maybrick
01:10:33increased the dose
01:10:36of liquor arsenicalis
01:10:38taken in a tonic
01:10:40over a period of 18 months
01:10:41by 75%.
01:10:43That's enough
01:10:43to kill an ordinary person.
01:10:45But you know all this.
01:10:47I certainly do not.
01:10:49Well, you see,
01:10:49it occurred to me,
01:10:50old thing,
01:10:51that if you'd had the idea
01:10:53to give yourself a what's-it,
01:10:54an immunization,
01:10:56you could easily enjoy
01:10:57a jolly old arsenical omelette
01:10:58with a friend.
01:10:59It would kill him
01:11:00and it wouldn't hurt you.
01:11:02This is a monstrous accusation.
01:11:04Then how do you account
01:11:05for the packet of arsenic
01:11:06found in your office?
01:11:08And how do you account
01:11:09for this?
01:11:10Clippings of your hair
01:11:11and nails,
01:11:12by kind permission
01:11:13of your pretty little manicurist,
01:11:14Susie,
01:11:15and bung full of arsenic.
01:11:16Explain that,
01:11:16if you will,
01:11:17Mr. Norman Urquhart.
01:11:18I have for some time
01:11:18been taking a medicine
01:11:20containing slight traces of arsenic.
01:11:22Dr. Granger will furnish you
01:11:23with a prescription
01:11:23that may have left
01:11:24a deposit in my hair
01:11:26and skin.
01:11:27I repeat,
01:11:28this is a monstrous accusation.
01:11:29Then how is it
01:11:30that tonight
01:11:30you have taken a dose
01:11:31of arsenic sufficient
01:11:33to kill
01:11:34two or three
01:11:35ordinary people?
01:11:39The sweetenings
01:11:39you've been guzzling
01:11:40for the last hour and a half
01:11:41are smothered
01:11:42in white arsenic.
01:11:42You should have been
01:11:43rolling about in agony
01:11:44for the last hour.
01:11:45Damn you, Lindsay!
01:11:47You've tricked me!
01:11:48You've got me
01:11:49by a vile, damnable trick!
01:11:51Yes, we have got you, Urquhart.
01:11:53We certainly have got you.
01:11:54It's all right.
01:12:00It's only icing sugar.
01:12:02Oh, damn you!
01:12:04Damn you!
01:12:06Damn you!
01:12:10I understand, my lord,
01:12:11that further information
01:12:12has come to the police,
01:12:14which definitely proves
01:12:15the entire innocence
01:12:17of my client.
01:12:18I also understand, my lord,
01:12:20that a further arrest
01:12:22has been made
01:12:23and that an inquiry
01:12:24will follow.
01:12:26My lord,
01:12:26this lady
01:12:27must go forth
01:12:28into the world
01:12:29acquitted,
01:12:30not only at this bar,
01:12:32but at the bar
01:12:33of public opinion.
01:12:35Any ambiguity
01:12:36would be intolerable.
01:12:38and I'm quite sure, my lord,
01:12:41that I have the support
01:12:43of the attorney general's office
01:12:44for what I say.
01:12:46By all means.
01:12:48I am instructed to say, my lord,
01:12:50that in withdrawing
01:12:50the charge against the prisoner,
01:12:52the crown proceeds
01:12:52from a complete conviction
01:12:53of her innocence
01:12:54and offers no evidence
01:12:56against her.
01:12:56I am very glad
01:12:58to hear it.
01:13:00Prisoner at the bar,
01:13:03the crown,
01:13:05by unreservedly withdrawing
01:13:07this dreadful charge
01:13:08against you,
01:13:09have demonstrated
01:13:10your innocence
01:13:11in the clearest possible way.
01:13:15After this,
01:13:16nobody will be able
01:13:17to suppose
01:13:18that the slightest imputation
01:13:20rests upon you.
01:13:22And I most heartily
01:13:23congratulate you
01:13:24on this very satisfactory ending
01:13:27to your long ordeal.
01:13:42Come on!
01:13:44I'm going to have coffee
01:13:56to sit for it.
01:13:57Oh, I'm going to tell you
01:13:58to maybe have tea.
01:14:01Bye, dear.
01:14:10Goodbye.
01:14:10Goodbye.
01:14:10Goodbye.
01:14:11Goodbye.
01:14:13Goodbye.
01:14:14Goodbye.
01:14:29I'm going away.
01:14:31I've always wanted to travel
01:14:33to Greece,
01:14:35Venice.
01:14:36You're such a romantic,
01:14:37Harry.
01:14:37At least I can make you laugh.
01:14:45And surely that's better
01:14:47than tears.
01:14:47Goodbye.
01:14:48I'll be right.
01:14:51Bye.
