Transcript

0:10
they say he's the best
0:11
darn inspector in the district he'll crack this case and quick very good sir what shall i
0:16
do look
0:17
every doorman not a soul gets out of havisham man until the killer is found at
0:22
once sir and
0:24
assemble everyone in here right away sir
0:43
Good God, you're just an hour into the engagement and it's already been a murder.
0:47
Florence!
0:48
Charlie!
0:49
Florence, get out.
0:50
You can't be in here.
0:52
No, I can't believe what I'm saying.
0:57
My God, he looks so frail lying there.
1:00
I'm sorry, Florence, it's a shock to all of us.
1:02
His skin is cold to the touch.
1:03
No, Florence, don't touch him.
1:04
I must.
1:05
You mustn't.
1:06
Unhand me.
1:07
Oh, Charles, when last embrace.
1:09
I cannot bear to see my sister in such grief.
1:11
Will it do this thing, the night of our engagement party?
1:14
Cecil, quick, your brother's dead.
1:17
This way, Master Avasham.
1:20
I'm coming, Miss Collymore.
1:22
Brother? Dead?
1:24
It can't be.
1:25
Calm yourself, Cecil.
1:26
Poor Mr. Drake, Perkins.
1:28
I ate away, sir.
1:29
Oh, my God.
1:30
He drunk the whole bottle.
1:33
There's not a drop.
1:49
Oh, there's not a drop.
1:58
Oh, hang it all.
1:59
There's another shelf.
2:01
Of course, yes, this one's full.
2:24
Of course, here's your drink.
2:27
Thank you, Perkins.
2:29
He was a good brother.
2:36
That's the best whiskey I've ever tasted.
2:40
Have another to calm your nerves.
2:43
Make it a double.
2:45
Oh, my Charles, my Charles, my head is...
2:48
spinning. I'm going to become hysterical. Calm down, Florence. Another
2:54
whiskey, sir?
2:57
Yes. I can't believe Charles sat up here alone, drinking, when he was supposed to be downstairs
3:03
with us. My brother wasn't as happy as he led people to believe. Underneath
3:08
that cheerful
3:09
mask lay a darker side to the man many didn't know about. It's
3:14
true! His smile was often
3:21
I was fortunate enough to be one of the only men he truly confided in.
3:25
I've lost a ill friend today.
3:28
We all have, Perkins.
3:30
I knew Charles ever since school.
3:32
I don't know how I'll ever recover from this.
3:34
You'll move back home with me.
3:35
I'm your brother and I have it no other way.
3:38
Perkins is right.
3:39
My brother was hiding a deep sense of melancholy and resentment.
3:43
There's no question in my mind...
3:45
mind, it was suicide. Suicide? Cecil, how could you say that? Of course not. It's
3:50
murder. Murder in the first
3:51
degree. Nonsense, the man was paranoid, jealous, and I can prove it. Perkins,
3:57
hand me this journal
3:59
from the mantle, the mantelpiece. Why,
4:10
just look at the last entry. I
4:13
I fear Florence does not love me. The night of our engagement party despair engulfs my soul.
4:18
But I love Charles with all my heart.
4:23
As I said, they were mad with paranoia and jealousy.
4:31
The Inspector! Thank heavens he's here. What a terrible snowstorm!
4:37
Good evening, I'm Inspector Carter. Take my case.
4:42
This must be Charles Havisham.
4:44
I'm sorry, this must have given you all a terrible shock.
4:47
It did. We're all still reeling.
4:49
Naturally. Are any of the deceased's immediate family?
4:52
I'm Cecil Havisham. I'm his brother.
4:54
I'm Florence Collymore. I'm his fiancée.
4:57
Tonight was our engagement party.
4:58
What a sad, sad thing.
5:01
You, have you poured one a stiff drink?
5:04
Uh, y-y-yes, Inspector.
5:11
Let us raise a glass to the man we all loved, to Charles.
5:23
Lizard, you all must be distraught, but forgive me, the sooner I can be in my inquiries,
5:28
the sooner we can get to the bottom of this ghastly business.
5:35
If you'd be so kind as to bring the-
5:37
the body downstairs so I can examine it.
5:39
Yes, Inspector.
5:41
I'll lend you a hand, Perkins.
5:43
Then lock all the doors to the house and repair this room.
5:45
I'll conduct my inquiries in here afterwards.
5:54
Any ideas on the cause of death, Inspector?
5:57
Could be a number of things, suffocation,
6:01
strangulation, poison, before fully examining the body.
6:05
I wouldn't like to say, how could someone do it?
6:23
Try not to think about it, Miss Collymore.
6:25
Once I've finished downstairs, I'll speak to you each individually,
6:28
and then perhaps you can get some space to calm your nerves.
6:31
Thank you, Inspector. This is all my...
6:33
than I can bear. I'll return presently as soon as I've finished examining
6:38
the body.
7:26
Thank God they've all gone.
7:28
Don't say a word.
7:29
out about us to be suspects you and i were having an affair what of it it doesn't mean that we
7:34
killed
7:35
him of course not that's what the inspector will think it's fine we'll just continue
7:40
as though
7:40
everything was just as it was the heck what is that oh put
7:46
that there except now you won't have
7:48
to marry my beastly brother and soon we can be together not keep secrets but please while we're
7:53
here just the two of us let me steal one quick embrace oh yes we can't
7:57
be the end inspector requires a pencil what on earth is going on in here
8:02
sorry
8:03
I felt flustered Cecil was just quitting my brow I
8:09
don't see how my sister's
8:10
brows any business of yours Havisham don't be a prick Tom this was only
8:15
trying to help yes Tom very well if you'll excuse me I have the pen
8:36
Thank goodness he's gone. That man's such a nuisance.
8:39
He's my brother.
8:40
Let me look at you just once.
8:42
Oh, Cecil.
8:50
Sorry to disturb you, Miss Collymore, Mr. Havisham.
8:53
I've come to collect the keys to lock us all inside.
8:57
Yes, they're by the telephone, Perkins.
9:12
Ow, my fingies!
9:31
Think Dennis, think I shall
9:40
lock the doors at once
9:43
I shall lock the
9:49
doors at once
9:50
You don't think Perkins suspects us, do you?
9:52
That old fool, of course not.
9:54
Oh, Cecil, it makes me forget myself.
10:00
I forgot the inspector's notepad.
10:02
What in God's name?
10:03
I was about to faint.
10:06
Cecil caught me, obviously.
10:08
You know, Cecil, I don't appreciate you trying to get your hands
10:13
on my sister
10:14
the night of her fiancé's death.
10:17
You ought to take better.
10:18
care of her then, Collie Moore. I'm overcome. I haven't got time for this. Now
10:23
I have the
10:23
inspector's notepad, and I'll be on my way.
10:41
Blasted interruptions! Kiss me, Cecil! Oh, Florence, you make my heart beat out of my chest.
10:46
Your eyes send me your dream, oh Cecil, oh Cecil,
10:53
oh Cecil, oh Cecil, oh Cecil, oh Cecil,
10:58
oh Cecil, oh Cecil, oh Cecil, oh Cecil, oh Cecil, oh Cecil, oh Cecil, oh Cecil,
11:03
oh Cecil, oh Cecil, oh Cecil, oh Cecil, oh Cecil, oh Cecil, oh Cecil, oh Cecil, oh Cecil, oh Cecil, oh Cecil, oh Cecil, oh Cecil, oh Cecil, oh Cecil, oh Cecil, oh Cecil, oh Cecil,
11:14
the door can't stay shut oh wait my lines um
11:19
sorry to interrupt you again mr havisham
11:23
miss collimore i've just come to prepare the room yes perkins
11:28
put them by the mantle yes the
12:06
At last we're, at last we're alone.
12:11
Oh, Cecil's run away from here, far away, together.
12:15
Soon, my love, but we can't.
12:17
We mustn't arouse suspicion.
12:19
Cecil, tell me, who do you think killed Charles?
12:23
There's no doubt about it in my mind.
12:25
He was killed by your brother, Thomas Collymore.
12:28
My brother? What a devilous situation this is.
12:31
Not so fast, Inspector.
12:44
But why would Thomas want Charles dead?
12:46
Isn't it obvious?
12:47
He was always bitter and possessive when it came to you.
12:49
He didn't like the idea of his best friend marrying his sister.
12:52
He saw you two tonight at tonight's engagement party,
12:56
and it drove him half mad, and he snapped and killed Charles.
12:59
But if it is, Thomas, what if he finds out about you and I?
13:02
I don't think there's any question about it.
13:04
He would try to kill us just like he killed Charles.
13:06
Oh, I feel faint again.
13:08
Don't worry, Florence, follow my lead.
13:10
I'm sorry to have kept you, but now I have examined the box more closely.
13:14
Our interview can proceed.
13:16
Perkins, bring in Charles' personal facts.
13:22
Where do you want them, Inspector?
13:24
Set them down on the mantelpiece.
13:27
As you wish, Inspector.
13:36
Don't go, Perkins. I'd like to ask you a few questions
13:41
first. Mr. Habersham, Ms. Collymore,
13:44
if you'd be so kind as to give us a moment's privacy.
13:47
Not really.
13:50
Don't just stand there, Perkins. Take a seat. I don't
13:55
smoke. But
14:01
you go ahead.
14:02
how are you feeling Perkins a little
14:14
you were close with charles
14:19
have a sham yes very close
14:26
You don't seem very upset by his death.
14:29
On the...
14:33
Kuntay! I barely take it in. Oh, he was such a kindly,
14:39
charming man.
14:40
It's true.
14:41
You've met him?
14:43
Once. Briefly. At the local police station.
14:53
Evening, Inspector.
14:55
Once. Briefly. At the local police station.
14:58
Of course they didn't notice.
15:01
Police station. He came in...
15:04
I ad-libbed.
15:05
He came in as a consultant on a fraud case I was working on.
15:08
I see.
15:11
How long have you been working at Havisham Manor?
15:14
80 years.
15:15
80 years?
15:17
Eight years.
15:19
Eight years. And have you enjoyed your time here?
15:22
My time with Havisham has been a joy.
15:25
I feel that since I've come here...
15:26
I've not only been seen as a butler, but as a friend, a confidant.
15:39
If you need me again, I'll be in my quarters.
15:43
Exits!
15:46
Exits.
15:53
If you'd be so kind.
15:55
As I send in Florence Collymore on your way out.
15:59
No need, I'm already here.
16:01
Don't ask too much of me, Inspector.
16:02
I feel fragile as glass.
16:03
Don't ask for cartage.
16:04
You've been through a lot tonight.
16:05
At last, Collymore.
16:06
You found me a pencil.
16:08
Yes, Inspector.
16:11
Thank you.
16:12
And my notebook?
16:16
I knew I'd left them somewhere.
16:20
Now I speak to Miss Collymore alone.
16:23
I'd be in the library for once.
16:25
Don't fret, Miss Collymore.
16:27
My questions will be brief and to the point,
16:29
and then you can get some rest.
16:31
Firstly, how old are you, Miss Collymore?
16:34
Twenty-one.
16:35
I'll make note to that.
16:39
How long ago did you first meet off your on-site?
16:41
Only seven months ago.
16:43
But my brother has known him for years.
16:47
When would he do to be married?
16:49
In the New Year.
16:52
Well, that's enough nits for now, I think, Miss Collymore. Did you...
16:55
When you love someone, there's no such thing as rushing, Inspector.
16:59
Did you ever think you were rushing into this marriage?
17:01
Why wouldn't I love him?
17:02
Did you love him, then?
17:04
How could anyone have benefited?
17:06
Can you think of anyone who might have benefited from your fiancé's death?
17:10
Cecil! Not even Cecil!
17:13
Don't tell me to calm down.
17:14
Calm down, Miss Collymore.
17:15
I wasn't having an affair.
17:17
Don't raise your voice to me, Inspector.
17:19
You were having an affair.
17:21
What letter?
17:22
Then how do you explain the letter on the mantelpiece?
17:28
I didn't write that letter.
17:30
You wrote that letter.
17:31
You've read my letter.
17:32
Where did you find it?
17:34
Addressed to Cecil, written in your hand,
17:36
incurring your love for him.
17:38
How the thought of marrying Charles repulsed you.
17:40
Charles wrote it.
17:41
You wrote my letter?
17:42
Where did you find it?
17:44
In Charles' pocket.
17:45
Charles wrote it, then it was suicide.
17:47
Or a murder conceived by you, and as I have a sham, so you could run away together.
17:52
How could you even say such a thing?
17:55
Cersei and I are having an affair.
17:56
We loved each other.
17:57
But that's all.
17:58
Neither of us wanted to hurt Charles, let alone kill him.
18:00
It's my job to ask the difficult questions, Miss Collymore.
18:03
I'm sorry if this upsets you.
18:06
Upsets me?
18:07
How dare you?
18:08
My fiancé was murdered in a very matter of hours ago.
18:12
I find you a man almost unfitting.
18:14
I shall make a formal complaint.
18:15
Scotland Yard, Scotland Yard, you must listen to the complaints of a murderous, you
18:20
diabolical
18:21
beast, how can you? I won't stand for this inspector, accuse me again and you'll, what
18:27
is going on in here? What is this? What is this? I'm
18:33
merely interviewing Miss Cullymore,
18:37
nothing more. Florence, calm down, stop shouting.
18:45
She's having one of her episodes.
18:49
Snap out of it.
18:52
You're hysterical.
18:56
She's run off.
18:57
I'll fetch her.
18:58
You stay here, Cecil.
18:59
I dare say the inspector has some questions for you.
19:01
You are Charles' brother, Joel.
19:06
I'm sorry, Inspector.
19:07
She's badly shaken.
19:09
It's been a long night, and it's...
19:11
Getting late.
19:12
Eleven o'clock already.
19:16
Well, Inspector, do you have any questions for me?
19:19
Oh, yes, Mr. Havisham, similar to those I asked Mr. Collymore.
19:22
Well, fire away, Inspector. I'm at your service.
19:25
Indeed. You and your brother, did you belong well?
19:29
Up and down. Ever since father died, there was a bit more strain on our relationship.
19:34
It was no secret he cared for Charles more than myself.
19:37
This is your father in the portrait, is it not?
19:39
It is.
19:43
He looks the spit of Charles, doesn't he?
19:47
He did, ever since he was quite young.
19:50
You were the junior by four years?
19:52
Almost four, yes, and didn't I know it, Charles patronized and embarrassed me throughout
19:57
our entire childhood.
19:59
He always thought he knew best, and Father always took his side.
20:02
If he ever didn't get his way, he was unbearable.
20:06
He sounds far from me.
20:07
deal brother. It sounds like you hated one another. I won't lie, Inspector. Charles
20:12
and I never
20:13
truly saw eye to eye, but if you're suggesting I had something to do with his death, you're...
20:20
If you're suggesting I had something to do with his death, you're mistaken.
20:24
I see. It's a dark night, Cecil.
20:30
Inspector?
20:32
You can bed and make out the trees.
20:35
What are you...
20:35
What are you saying, Inspector?
20:36
I'm saying, Cecil, that tonight would be the perfect night for you to murder your brother.
20:43
Inspector, please. Me and my brother had our differences, but deep down we cared for one another.
20:47
And yet you had an affair with his fiancée?
20:50
What on earth gave you that idea?
20:52
Letter I found in Charles' pocket from Miss Collymore to yourself.
20:57
You know about that?
20:58
As it seems, did Charles.
21:09
Bravo, Inspector. You've found out about Florence and I, but it proves nothing. We
21:14
didn't have
21:15
a thing to do with Charles' death. But I can tell you who does.
21:21
Who?
21:22
Thomas Collymore.
21:24
Collymore? But he and Charles were old friends. Were they not?
21:29
He's a dangerously unhinged man with a devil's...
21:31
of a temper and Florence is his sister.
21:34
I've said it before and I'll say it again.
21:36
He couldn't stand the thought of
21:37
giving his sister up to any man, much less his
21:39
old school chum. Tonight's
21:42
engagement party made him lash out
21:44
and he killed Charles.
21:46
Crime of passing, perhaps,
21:48
but there it is.
21:49
Thank you, Mr. Havisham. You've been
21:51
most helpful. Perhaps you get fetched
21:53
Thomas Collymore. I'm going to follow
21:55
more than one line of inquiry at a time.
21:57
Get to the bottom of this.
21:58
At one...
22:00
Inspector, anything to help with the process of your investigation?
22:05
Hang it all, Charles. Who could have killed you? Everybody under this blasted
22:10
roof seems guilty.
22:12
That's strange. There's something underneath these cushions. A ledger?
22:19
A ledger?
22:28
A ledger.
22:31
A ledger!
22:43
Ledger!
22:48
Oh, stop laughing!
22:51
You think it's so funny, don't you?
22:56
Well, I don't see the ledger.
22:58
I mean, I'm trying to put on this whole play
23:00
and everything just seems to be going wrong.
23:03
Well, you're just sitting there laughing at us.
23:09
Wait a second.
23:12
A ledger!
23:18
With Charles' initials inscribed onto the cover.
23:21
What's inside?
23:23
Notes.
23:24
bills. What's this? The last will and testament of Charles Havisham, dated only
23:29
today?
23:33
Let me see. I, Charles Havisham, hereby amend my last
23:39
will and testament to leave my money,
23:41
Havisham manna, in all its contents and grounds to one? Good
23:46
Lord!
23:48
Thomas Collymore for you, Inspector.
23:51
Ah, thank you, Cecil.
23:52
Tell me that Charles was steady. We get those papers. Of course second
23:57
door on the right. I'll return presently
24:00
Take your time
24:06
Well, did you find Florence she ran out onto the grounds
24:14
Okay, you got that
24:23
Oh no. How do we deal with this? How do we deal with this? Okay,
24:29
yeah, get it, get it.
24:33
Don't worry father, I got you. You're safe
24:38
now. So tell me Thomas, what were
24:43
your thoughts
24:44
about Charles and Florence's engagement?
24:48
No droid of course. I love Florence and I love Charles. I couldn't have approved more of the matter.
24:56
But it's well known that you're protective of your sister.
25:01
I'll get it.
25:04
How do I get that?
25:06
You're not getting that.
25:07
Oh, thank you.
25:12
Good evening.
25:15
It's for you.
25:16
What the devil is it? Your accountant's Collymore. At 11
25:22
.30 in the evening? Yes.
25:28
Oh you're heavy. Good evening. Yes Thomas Collymore speaking. My recent
25:33
deposits? What of them? Disruptancies? What are you talking about man?
25:39
Gone? Gone
25:40
where? £9,000 stone. Good God man.
25:44
Perkins get in here no no no yeah
25:50

26:24
What was it?
26:26
Money, stolen from my accounts.
26:28
Good Lord.
26:29
Nine thousand pounds stolen from my private savings.
26:31
Most irregular.
26:33
It was a ghastly business.
26:34
First my oldest friend murdered in cold blood.
26:37
And now I find myself on the edge of financial ribbon.
26:40
evening could get no worse. Well, Thomas, I have a confessant. I
26:46
wasn't going to say it at first,
26:47
but, well, the inspector seems to have found it out. And, blasted, I'm tired
26:52
of keeping secrets.
26:53
Spit it out, Cecil. Well, Florence and I are having an affair. What? Oh,
26:59
oh, oh, yeah. Huh?
27:02
You and my sister. Now, now, calm. Calm down, Collymore. I
27:07
knew it.
27:08
You were always a snake in the grass.
27:10
It's not what you think.
27:12
We're in love.
27:12
My sister does not love you.
27:14
How dare you lay a finger on her, your own brother's fiance.
27:17
It's disgusting.
27:18
No wonder your father hated you.
27:21
Don't speak about my father that way, Collymore.
27:25
Well, it seems there's no doubt about who killed Charles now.
27:28
He was killed by his own vile little brother in a fit of jealous rage.
27:31
I shan't stand for this, Collymore.
27:35
You'll be sorry you ever laid a finger on my...
27:36
is to have a sham, you'll be sorry.
28:10
gunshots in the library boy Joe dear god what's
28:16
going on I don't know inspector I was in here
28:19
when I had schemes from downstairs get in here now Florence it's not it's
28:24
not safe down there
28:26
Thomas I'm frightened don't worry Florence you're safe in here
28:33
What's going on?
28:36
Isn't it obvious Kessel's lost control?
28:39
Kessel?
28:40
Surely not.
28:42
He killed Charles tonight.
28:43
You've been mad by his love for you.
28:45
And now he knows we've found him out.
28:49
I cannot bear it.
28:50
Kessel would not do such a thing.
28:52
Of course he would, the blasted lunatic.
28:55
You used to trust people, Tom.
28:57
You've changed.
28:58
This is our fight!
29:01
The worst night I've seen in eighty!
29:07
Eight years of service.
29:10
Save me, brother! Save me!
29:12
I shan't let anyone tear on your head, Florence.
29:15
I'm panicking. I can't believe...
29:18
Cecil? Cecil!
29:21
Cecil is doing this.
29:23
Try to stay calm, Miss Crawley more.
29:26
I shall faint.
29:27
You shan't faint, confound it!
29:29
What a devil of a situation this is!
29:31
Not so fast, Inspector!
29:41
We're all going to survive tonight.
29:43
You hear me?
29:51
Take cover!
29:53
Great Scott!
29:54
Dear heavens!
29:55
I mean...
29:58
Don't panic, Cecil's crashed in the landing
30:00
We must lock him out
30:02
Where are the keys to the door, Perkins?
30:03
Here they are
30:09
Here they are, sir
30:10
Quickly, Perkins, hand them to me before Cecil
30:16
Good Lord
30:20
Cecil's dead?
30:24
A double-
30:33
Time of death, quarter to midnight.
30:37
Cecil, no, no, I loved him, I loved him.
30:40
I know it's wrong, I know he was engaged in trials, but Cecil was mine and...
30:46
I was his, I loved him.
30:49
There, there, miss.
30:55
Collymore, through tears, how will I go on?
30:59
But who could have killed him?
31:00
That's a good question, Mr. Collymore.
31:03
And one needs answer quickly, if we all want to get out of this house alive.
31:08
Oh, Inspector, you've given me a chill.
31:10
Perkins, pour us all another scotch.
31:13
Of course, Inspector.
31:17
Now tell me, is there anyone you know of still in...
31:21
the grounds other than the four of us? Not a soul. The
31:26
staff will go home at the
31:27
weekends, except for Perkins, of course.
31:32
Good God, I needed that. Does anyone have access to the grounds? No
31:37
one, Inspector.
31:38
I'm the only one with the master key, and as instructed, I locked and bolted the doors
31:43
as soon as you arrived. Then who could have killed him? That's a good question, Mr.
31:48
Collymont.
31:49
And one we need to answer quickly, if we all want to get out of this house alive.
31:54
Oh, Inspector, you've given me a chill.
31:57
Perkins, pour a sauna, the Scorch.
31:59
Of course, Inspector.
32:01
Now tell me, is there anyone you know of still in the grounds other than the four of us?
32:06
Not a soul.
32:07
The staff will go home at the weekends, except for Perkins, of course.
32:13
Good God, I needed that.
32:14
Does anyone have access to the grounds?
32:17
No one.
32:17
inspector I'm the only one with the master key and as instructed I looked
32:22
and bolted the doors as soon as you arrived then
32:27
who could have killed him
32:28
that's a good question mr. Collymore and one
32:33
we need to answer quickly if we all
32:36
want to get out of this house alive oh inspector you've given me a chill
32:42
Perkins porous or leather scotch
32:45
Inspector?
32:47
Now tell me, is there anyone you know of
32:49
still in the grounds other than the four of us?
32:52
Not a soul.
32:54
The staff will go home at the weekends,
32:55
except for Perkins, of course.
33:01
Good God, I knew that.
33:03
Is anyone with access to the grounds?
33:05
No one, Inspector.
33:08
I'm the only one with the master key
33:11
and as a truck that I locked and-
33:13
and bolted the doors as soon as you hide.
33:17
Then who could have killed him?
33:20
That's a good question, Mr.
33:26
Collymore.
33:27
And one we need to answer quickly.
33:30
If we all want to get out of this house alive.
33:34
Oh, Inspector, you've given me a chill.
33:37
Perkins, pour us all another scotch.
33:40
Of course, Inspector.
33:41
Now tell me, is there anyone you know of still in the
33:47
grounds other than the four of us?
33:50
Not a fool!
33:51
The staff will go home at the weekend except for Perkins, of course.
33:56
Good God I knew that.
33:58
Does anyone have access to the grounds?
34:01
No one, Inspector.
34:03
I'm the only one with the master key and has instructed and locked and bolted the doors
34:08
as soon as you are.
34:12
Then who could have killed him?
34:17
That's a good
34:22
question, Mr. Collymore.
34:25
And why we need to answer quickly if we all want
34:31
to get out of this house alive!
34:33
Oh, Inspector, you've given me a chill!
34:35
Pockets! Pour us out of the sky!
34:38
Of course, Inspector.
34:40
Now tell me, is there anyone you know of still in the grounds?
34:45
Are there at the four of us?
34:47
Not a soul!
34:48
To stand behind us again, except for dragons, of course.
34:52
Good God, I did that.
34:54
Does anyone have access to the grounds?
34:58
No one, Inspector.
35:00
I'm the only one with the master key, and as it shoved it, unlocked, and bolted the
35:05
doors.
35:06
as soon as you arrived.
35:08
It's me, I did it, I did it,
35:11
and everyone is so proud of me.
35:16
Then who could have killed him?
35:21
No one could have killed him
35:23
except for the people in this room.
35:25
You're right.
35:26
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
35:32
You're right, it's one of us.
35:34
Hang it all, I'm stuck in a room full of murderers.
35:38
Blast and blimey.
35:40
One of you killed Charles and still have a shaman tonight.
35:43
We shan't leave this house till the matter is solved.
35:46
You, take this body outside.
35:49
Yes, sir.
35:50
I'll let you hand, Peckins.
36:10
Um, improvise, that's what theater's all about.
36:14
We're all in this together.
36:19
Go Wildcats!
36:33
Wait, are we not doing high school musical?
36:36
I thought that's what this play was about, Troy Bolton.
36:48
So, let us go over the fox.
36:54
Oh, it's such a terrible night.
36:56
Florence, you engaged.
36:58
he married Charles, a man who according to your letter you despise. Not
37:03
only this
37:03
but you have an affair with his brother. Cecil. Cecil, it seems plausible
37:09
to me
37:09
that you both murdered him so you could be together. Oh stop it, Inspector. Cecil's
37:14
dead too now and I certainly didn't kill Charlie. Oh
37:20
my god! What is this, Inspector?
37:36
Florence, behave as some decorum.
37:42
Someone ought to fetch her medication.
37:47
I'll go.
37:50
Good God, someone's locked the door.
37:56
What's trapped?
37:57
Trapped, my god!
38:02
You killed your fiancée, Florence. What do you say for yourself?
38:14
I am an honorable woman, Inspector.
38:17
You're lying, Florence. You killed him.
38:20
I won't stand another second of this, Inspector.
38:23
Did you enjoy killing your husband, Miss Collymore?
38:27
How dare you make this an accusation, Inspector?
38:30
Calm down, Florence. Really?
38:32
I don't stand in the middle of this, Inspector.
38:34
If I can't get out of the door, I shall stand in front of your window.
38:37
Oh, my God! She's trying to climb out of the window.
38:40
Don't get out of the window. It's high and you'll fall and it's very dangerous.
38:46
Three stories above. Oh, dear, don't get away.
38:50
to interview you more. Oh dear, oh no. Don't go.
38:56
Oh, oh, no. Oh,
39:02
okay, dear.
39:02
Is she secure? I am no murderer.
39:06
Calm yourself, Miss Carlymore. You asses have a sham. Both have plausible motives
39:12
to murder,
39:13
but not the true motive.
39:14
What are you saying, Inspector?
39:15
I'm saying a true motive belongs to pe-
39:18
Perkins!
39:19
Perkins?
39:20
Me, Inspector!
39:22
You, Perkins!
39:24
A little earlier I stumbled across Charles' newly written Last Will and Testament, yet
39:28
it is only today declaring that Charles wanted to make Perkins his old beneficiary of his
39:34
Surely not, Perkins.
39:35
This is all a mistake.
39:37
Save your pudding for the police station.
39:39
Cuff him, Thomas.
39:43
I'll drive there myself as soon as the snowstorm has passed.
39:46
That won't be for hours. This to know is at its peak.
39:50
Surely Perkins didn't kill Cecil as well.
39:53
I'm really bad.
39:55
No, you aren't. Think positive thoughts.
39:58
Of course you did.
39:59
Cecil found him out and Perkins killed him to keep him quiet.
40:04
Are you supposed to be Troy Bolton?
40:08
Who's Troy Bolton?
40:09
Long play, man.
40:14
I'm...
40:14
Troy Bolton!
40:21
Oh, sorry, a line trouble?
40:25
Oh.
40:27
Oh, no.
40:30
You've been hiding in the grounds.
40:32
You've been hiding in the grounds ever since this afternoon when you planted the poison!
40:36
I thought it was strange you got here so quickly in such terrible weather.
40:42
And then you found his will in the woods and decided to pin it on me.
40:47
You darn crafty devil!
40:56
Crafty indeed.
40:59
Jonathan, I think this is your entrance.
41:02
Not so fast, Inspector.
41:07
Charlie, you're Troy Bolton!
41:11
Dude, we went over this already.
41:14
Mr. Havisham?
41:16
Charlie, I thought you were dead.
41:18
You're alive? It's not possible.
41:20
Oh, I'm afraid it is. You couldn't kill me that easily.
41:25
How did you survive?
41:26
I simply didn't drink the poison water you left out for me this afternoon.
41:30
How did you know it was me?
41:31
I told Perkins. We've been working together all along.
41:34
Ever since we last spoke at the police station, it was clear you thought I was onto you.
41:39
It was at that point I became afraid he'd try to kill me.
41:41
For months now I had my guard up, and tonight he fell into my trap.
41:47
Oh wait, I'm repeating myself.
41:50
Oh, you've been hiding the grounds ever since this afternoon he planted the poison.
41:54
Wait, it's like deja vu.
41:56
Isn't that one of the themes of high school musical?
41:59
I thought it was strange you got here so quickly in such terrible weather.
42:03
And then he found his will and the legend decided to pin it on me.
42:06
You don't.
42:07
Come on, crafty devil.
42:08
Crafty indeed.
42:09
Perkins here as innocent as I am.
42:12
Uncuff those handcuffs this instant.
42:15
Drop the gun, Inspector.
42:17
Ay, me!
42:22
I can't wait to kill you, Charles,
42:24
and I won't leave until the job's done.
42:26
Lower your weapons, Inspector.
42:27
I can prove your guilt in a second.
42:29
I have the evidence in my study.
42:31
Fetch the papers, Perkins.
42:37
Lower weapons, Inspector. It's over.
42:39
Please, Inspector. You're frightening me.
42:42
You ought to be frightened.
42:43
You monster, you tried to kill-
42:45
You monster, you tried to kill Charles, and you killed Cecil. How could you?
42:49
I'll admit, I tried to kill Charles, but I never went anywhere near Cecil.
42:54
In fact, when I discovered you and he were having an affair, I was overjoyed.
42:58
I had the perfect man to pin it on until my accomplice blundered in.
43:03
It's true, I'm your accomplice, I regret to say.
43:05
Has been my friend ever since we were at school.
43:08
Isn't that right, Inspector?
43:11
I think it's him.
43:15
Thomas Carter.
43:16
Um, well, yes, it's true.
43:20
I'm the inspector's accomplice.
43:21
Brother, I'm surprised that you.
43:24
Brother, I'm surprised that you,
43:25
I don't know what you've become.
43:27
I'm so ashamed, I met Inspector Carter,
43:29
here a few months ago, down at my club.
43:31
In fact, between us, we could steal money from the police's sundry funds accounts easily.
43:35
Carter had the access, and I had the facility to move the money fast and keep it secure.
43:39
Also, I thought until tonight...
43:41
You're sorted up for a secondly, Florence. You broke my heart.
43:44
No, Charlie, you mustn't. I made a... I made a mistake.
43:47
Please take me back. I'll be all over again.
43:49
Take back a woman who betrayed me? Never!
43:52
Charlie, you're all I have! Love me, please! Don't cast me aside!
43:55
I should be an outcast! I should be a cop! Let me be your wife!
44:00
Thank you, Perkins.
44:01
God knows I could use a smoke.
44:03
Charlie, I can open it up.
44:04
Are you kidding me?
44:05
Yes, sir.
44:07
This is the worst night of my life.
44:09
No, no, no.
44:12
This is the worst night of my life.
44:15
No, it is the worst of mine.
44:17
But Thomas, Carter had you fooled, didn't he?
44:20
What do you mean?
44:21
He never intended to share the police money with you.
44:24
Let me summarize.
44:25
I love you, Charlie.
44:28
Inspector Cotta knew you and he were both embezzling police money, so
44:33
he hatched the plan to kill me, planting poison water for me to drink, then
44:39
mistakenly believing I was dead.
44:41
Then tried to pin it on Cecil and Florence because of their affair until accomplice Thomas blundered in and shot
44:46
my brother Cecil.
44:47
He then tried to pin it on Perkins after finding the will in my ledger.
44:51
Take me back, Charlie, if you know what's good for you!
44:55
what you didn't know Thomas was that the inspector made a 9,000 pound withdrawal
44:59
from your private savings this morning plan to flee taking every penny I think
45:04
it's time to open your attache case inspector
45:35
He allowed you to take all the risks by storing the stolen money in your private
45:39
Isn't that right, Inspector?
45:41
Oh right, it's true.
45:43
I forged your signature at the bank and took up every penny, hadn't bargained your accountant
45:47
catching up as quickly and telephoning you so soon.
45:50
You rogue!
45:50
I...
45:51
He made a mistake, that car, and I'm afraid it's your last!
46:01
Ah, my fingers!
46:03
Uh, the officers are waiting in the hall!
46:09
Sir Dignabbit is stuck, the officers are-
46:27
Oops.
46:30
Um, the officers are waiting in the hall, sir.
46:37
E-Excellent, escort my fiance downstairs.
46:41
I wish you'd have a word with Thomas in private.
46:44
Yes, sir.
46:45
Is this the part where we sing, get your, get your head?
46:47
in the game? No. Oh, maybe
46:53
we really aren't doing high school musical after all. Maybe.
46:57
Maybe the high school musical was inside of us all along. Help
47:03
me, man. Thomas, you're not the
47:06
man I knew from Eaton. You've become greedy and jealous. I'm sorry, Thomas, uh, Charlie.
47:12
I feel
47:12
as if I'm about to pass out. There's some water by the telephone.
47:16
Thank you, Charles.
47:16
Have the kind host.
47:18
Drink it up.
47:19
Most kind.
47:20
Tell me, Thomas, one thing.
47:23
Anything, Charles.
47:24
I shall tell no more lies.
47:26
The glass of poison water you left out for me this afternoon.
47:29
What do you suppose I did with it?
47:31
Well, I don't know.
47:37
What do you mean?
47:42
You don't mean.
47:44
You gave me...
47:46
Charlie! Charlie!
47:48
No! No! No!
47:50
Oh! Blooping!
47:57
Thomas, you're not the man I knew from Eton.
48:00
You've become greedy and jealous.
48:02
I wish this could have ended differently.
48:04
Thomas, your lies and deceits have left you inexorably to this end.
48:08
If men allow their conscience to be governed by avarice, then death and destruction shall...
48:12
Veil. Betrayed by my brother. There's
48:22
the music. This was a musical after all. Betrayed
48:30
by my fiancé
48:31
and almost murdered by my oldest friend. I just hope we never again see a murder
48:36
at Havisham Manor.
48:51
We will be a little gamblin is fun when you're with
48:57
me.
48:57
I love it.
48:58
Russian roulette is not the same without a gun.
49:02
And baby, when it's love, if it's not rough, it isn't fine.
49:06
Oh, oh, oh.
49:08
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
49:13
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
49:18
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
49:25
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
49:31
oh, oh
49:54
I love you, kiss or hug you, cause I'm loving with my muffin, I'm not lying,
50:00
I'm just
50:00
done it with my love, glue gun it, just like a chicken, I'm not lying, I'm not lying,
50:04
Casino, take your paper before I pay you out.
50:07
I promise this, promise this, get this in cause I'm wrong.
50:10
Can't read my, can't read my, no, we can't read my poker face.
50:16
She's got no love, nobody.
50:18
Can't read my, can't read my, no, we can't read my poker face.
50:24
