Let's see. Gosh. Okay. So I think we have 18, 16. I
0:05
think this is number 15. Yeah. No, 14, 15,
0:11
16. Yeah.
0:12
So this is number 14, this show, which is wonderful. It's incredible that these kids have
0:17
done so many shows.
0:20
Yeah. So when we're happy to have them and thank you for coming and I'm just going
0:25
to turn it right over now to.
0:28
Trevor, the tech director
0:32
for the Cornell Polytechnic Drama Society
0:37
with some announcements.
0:47
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
0:49
I have a couple of announcements.
0:50
Number one, turn off your phones.
0:52
Secondly, if anybody finds a Lady Gaga CD box set
0:54
in our room, I need the back.
0:56
by the performance enjoy the show
1:04
leave it just leave it we haven't got time
1:09
good
1:17
evening ladies and gentlemen
1:19
and welcome to the cornell polytechnic drama societies
1:24
production of the murder at Havisham Manor. I would like to personally
1:30
welcome you to
1:31
what will be my directorial debut and my first production as
1:36
head of the drama
1:37
society. We are particularly excited to present this play because for
1:43
the first
1:43
time in the society's history we have managed to find a play that fits the
1:48
company's numbers perfectly. If we're honest,
1:52
of numbers has hampered past productions. Last year's
1:57
Chekhov play Two Sisters or
2:01
last Christmas's The Lion and the Wardrobe and of course
2:06
are some musical
2:08
Cat. It may interest you to know that this will also
2:13
be the first time the
2:14
society has been able to stage a play of this scale. There's no question that we
2:19
usually at contend with this.
2:20
small budget such as in last year's presentation of Roald Dahl's James
2:26
and
2:26
the Peach. Of course during the run of that particular show the Peach
2:32
spot and
2:33
we were forced to present a hastily devised alternative entitled James
2:37
Where's Your Peach? Finally we can afford to stage a play as it
2:43
should be and
2:44
which may I say has been exceptionally well cast.
2:48
i'm sure no one will forget the problems we faced with casting before such
2:54
as in our christmas
2:55
presentation of snow white and the tall broad gentleman or
3:00
indeed our previous year's pantomime
3:02
another disney classic ugly and the beast director
3:07
director i forgot half of my lines
3:10
just write them under and you don't misspell them okay oh my back
3:15
but now
3:17
On with the main event, which I am confident will be our best show yet.
3:20
So without further ado, please put your hands together for Susie, HK Bridewell's
3:26
thrilling who done it,
3:27
The Murderer Tavisham Manor.
3:40
Ah, stupid car.
3:56
Charlie are you ready we're all waiting downstairs to raise a glass for engagement Charlie
4:04
come
4:05
along now Charlie you've been in there for hours now if I didn't know better I would
4:09
say you were having second thoughts about the wedding
4:13
Hang a towel now, Charlie.
4:14
If you want to come out, I'll come in.
4:16
Darn it, he's locked the door.
4:17
Hand me those keys, Perkins.
4:19
Here they are, Miss Gullymore.
4:20
Thank you, Perkins.
4:21
Now let's get this door open.
4:23
We're coming in, Charlie.
4:24
We're coming in.
4:26
There we are.
4:27
We're in.
4:30
But what's this?
4:31
Charles, unconscious?
4:33
Asleep surely, Mr. Gullymore?
4:35
Darn it, Perkins.
4:35
I hope so.
4:37
I'll take his pulse.
4:38
Alas, I knew something was wrong.
4:40
It's someone like Charles.
4:41
to disappear like this.
4:43
Sir, he's dead.
4:49
Don it, Pickens, he can't be.
4:50
He's not breathing, sir, and there's no hint of a heartbeat.
4:52
I'm dumbfounded. He was right to spray in an hour ago.
5:00
I don't understand. It doesn't make any sense.
5:02
He's fit as a fiddle. He can't be dead.
5:05
Of course it makes sense. He's been murdered.
5:08
Good God.
5:10
In the dining room sir, shall I fetch her?
5:13
The last thing we need is for her to have
5:15
one of our hysterical episodes.
5:17
Yes sir, do you think it was murder, Mr. Gullimore,
5:19
or do you think perhaps suicide?
5:22
Of course not, it was murder.
5:26
But why on earth would anyone murder him sir?
5:28
Charles was such a good man.
5:29
Kind, generous, a true,
5:39
he never had an enemy in his life until now it seems hang it all now Perkins
5:44
Charles Havisham was murdered in cold blood in this very room on this very
5:49
day in this very room shall I telephone the police mr. Gullimore the police
5:55
they
5:55
wouldn't make it out here for days in this snowstorm I'll
6:03
telephone inspector
6:03
Carter he lives just
6:05
on the other side of the village.
6:07
Here we are in next to no time.
6:09
Help me the receiver, Perkins.
6:13
Thank you, Perkins.
6:15
Good evening.
6:16
Give me Inspector Carter.
6:18
I know it's late.
6:19
Sir, I don't care about the weather.
6:21
There's been a murder.
6:21
Someone's murder, Charles Havishan.
6:28
Thank you.
6:29
He's on his way.
6:30
Inspector Carter.
6:31
They say he's the best darnin'
6:33
inspector in the district. He'll crack this case and quick.
6:36
Yes, sir. And what shall I do?
6:38
Lock every door, man. Not a sore gut out of Havisham Manor until the killer is found.
6:43
Right away, sir.
6:45
And assemble everyone in here.
6:47
At once, sir.
6:48
Good God. Just an hour into the engagement party and there's already been a murder.
6:56
Get out, Florence. You can't be in here.
6:58
No, I can't believe what I'm seeing.
7:04
My god, he looks so frail lying there.
7:07
I'm sorry, Florence.
7:08
It's a shock to all of us.
7:09
His skin is cold to the touch.
7:10
No, don't touch him.
7:12
You mustn't.
7:13
Unhand me.
7:15
Oh, Charles, one last embrace.
7:17
I cannot bear to see my sister in such grief.
7:19
Who could do such a thing the night of our engagement party?
7:23
Cecil, quick, your brother's dead.
7:26
This way, master, have a sham.
7:28
I'm coming, Miss Collymore.
7:31
Brother, there, it can't be.
7:34
Commissar Cecil, Perkins, pour him a stiff drink.
7:41
Oh my god, sir, there's not a drop.
7:43
He drank the whole bottle, there's not a drop left.
7:57
There's not a trap left.
7:59
Hang it all. There's another on the shelf.
8:02
Of course, sir. This one is...
8:05
Four.
8:08
This is unimaginable.
8:10
Who on earth would have the motivation to murder Charles Havasham?
8:13
I can't imagine.
8:22
He was a good brother.
8:28
That was the best whiskey I've ever tasted.
8:34
Have another to calm your nerves.
8:37
Thank you, Perkins.
8:38
Make it a double.
8:45
It's unthinkable.
8:46
Right here in his own private rooms, I have a shamana.
8:49
It's terrible.
8:50
Just a week after our engagement.
8:59
Another whiskey, sir.
9:10
Oh, my trolls, my trolls, my head is spinning.
9:13
I'm going to become hysterical.
9:15
Calm down, Florence.
9:16
Another whiskey, sir.
9:28
I can't believe Charles sat up here alone, drinking, when he was supposed to be downstairs
9:32
with us.
9:33
My brother wasn't as happy as you'd led people to believe.
9:36
Underneath their cheerful mask, he had darker sights with a man that many didn't know about.
9:43
Charles, it's true, his man was often... for God.
9:48
I was fortunate enough to be with him.
9:50
one of the friends he truly confided in.
9:52
I lost a real friend today.
9:54
We all have Perkins, hang it.
9:55
I knew Charles ever since school.
9:57
I don't know how I'll ever recover from this.
9:59
You'll move back in with me.
10:00
I am your brother and I'll have it no other way.
10:03
Perkins is right.
10:04
My brother was having a deep sense
10:05
of melancholy and resentment.
10:07
There's no doubt in my mind of suicide.
10:10
Suicide, Cecil?
10:11
How could you say it?
10:12
Of course not, it was murder,
10:14
murder in the first degree.
10:15
Nonsense, the man was paranoid,
10:16
jealous and I can't prove it.
10:18
Perkins, hand me his journal for the mantelpiece.
10:33
Why, look at the last entry.
10:35
I fear Florence does not love me,
10:38
and I have an engagement party.
10:39
Despair engulfs my soul.
10:42
But I love Charles with all my heart.
10:47
As I said, driven mad of paranoia and jealousy.
10:55
The Inspector!
10:57
Thank heavens he is here.
10:59
What a terrible snowstorm!
11:01
Good evening, I'm Inspector Carter.
11:03
Take my case.
11:04
Yes, Inspector.
11:06
This must be Charles Habersham.
11:08
I'm sorry, this must have given you all a terrible shock.
11:12
We're all still reeling.
11:14
Are any of you the deceased's immediate family?
11:17
I'm Cecil Habersham. I'm his brother.
11:19
I'm Florence Collymore. I'm his fiancée.
11:21
Tonight was our engagement party.
11:23
What a sad, sad thing.
11:26
You, have you poured everyone a stiff drink?
11:29
Yes, Inspector.
11:36
Let us raise a glass, the man we all love, to Charles!
11:46
delicious excellent lovely listen you almost be distraught but forgive me the
11:51
sooner i can begin
11:52
my inquiries the sooner we can get to the bottom of this ghastly business
12:00
if you'd be so kind let's bring a bunch of downstairs so i can examine it
12:04
yes inspector i'll lend you a hand peckens unlock all the doors of the house and prepare this room
12:08
i'll conduct my inquiries
12:10
here afterwards inspector any
12:16
ideas on a cause of death inspector could be a
12:18
number of things suffocation strangulation poison before fully
12:24
examining the body I wouldn't like to say how could someone do it
12:40
This is the second time.
12:48
Once I've finished downstairs, I'll speak to you each individually,
12:51
and then perhaps you can get some space to calm your nerves.
12:54
Thank you, Inspector. This is all more than I can bear.
12:56
I'll return presently, as soon as I've finished examining the body.
13:28
Thank God it's all gone.
13:29
Don't say a word.
13:31
If they find out about us, we'll be suspects.
13:33
You and I are having an affair.
13:34
What of it? It doesn't mean they killed him.
13:37
Of course not, but that's what the inspector will think.
13:40
It's fine. We'll carry on with everything just as it was.
13:49
Except now I won't be forced to marry my beastly brother.
13:53
And soon we can be together and not have to keep a secret.
13:56
But please, while here, just as two of us, let me steal one quick embrace.
13:59
Cecil, we can't. If we're caught, it would be the end.
14:02
Oh, Florin.
14:03
The inspector requires a pencil.
14:05
What on earth is going on in here?
14:07
I felt flustered.
14:09
Sister was just calling my brow.
14:11
Just calling her brow?
14:12
I don't see how my sister's brows any business of yours have a sham.
14:16
Don't be a prig, Tom.
14:17
Sister was only trying to help.
14:21
I haven't time for this.
14:22
If you'll excuse me, I have...
14:30
the pencil will be on my way thank
14:43
God he's gone that man is such a nuisance
14:45
he's my brother let me look at you just once oh Cecil sorry
14:51
to interrupt miss
14:52
Goli more mr. Havisham I come to collect the keys to lock us all inside yeah by
14:56
the telephone Perkins
15:09
I shall lock us all inside at once.
15:18
You don't think Perkins suspects us, do you?
15:21
That ain't fool.
15:22
Of course not.
15:23
Oh, Cecil, love makes me forget myself.
15:26
I forgot the inspector's notepad.
15:28
What in God's name?
15:29
I felt faint.
15:31
Cecil caught me, obviously.
15:34
You know, Cecil, I don't appreciate you
15:36
trying to get your hands on my sister
15:38
the night of her fiance's death.
15:40
You ought to take better care for them, Collymar.
15:43
I'm overcome.
15:46
Well, I now have...
15:53
The inspector's notebook.
15:55
I'll be on my way
16:07
Blasted interruptions kiss me Cecil. Oh Florence you make my heart be off my chest
16:12
Your eyes send me into a dream. Oh Cecil. Oh
16:17
Cecil Oh Cecil Oh Cecil Oh Cecil. Oh, sorry to interrupt
16:22
again
16:23
Miss Cullimore, Mr. Huffington,
16:24
I come to prepare the room.
16:25
Thank you, Perkins.
16:27
Put them by the mantelpiece.
16:42
At last, we're alone.
16:46
Oh, Cecil, let's run away from here, far away, together.
16:49
Soon, my love.
16:51
Oh, we must be careful.
16:52
We mustn't arouse suspicion.
16:54
Cecil, tell me, who do you think killed Charles?
16:57
There's no question in my mind, Florence.
17:00
He was killed by your brother, Thomas Collymore.
17:02
My brother?
17:03
What a devil, the situation this is.
17:06
Not so fast, Inspector!
17:17
But why would Thomas want you to-
17:19
was dead. Isn't it obvious? He was always better and possessive when it came to. He
17:24
didn't
17:25
like the idea of his best friend marrying his sister. He started to get at tonight's
17:29
engagement party and drove him half mad at he snapped and killed Charles. Oh, I feel
17:33
faint again. No worries, Florence. Follow my lead. I'm
17:39
sorry to have kept you, but now
17:40
I have examined the bottom more closely. Our interview can proceed. Perkins, bring in Charles'
17:46
personal facts.
17:47
Why would you like them, Inspector?
17:49
Set them down on the mantelpiece.
17:53
As you wish, Inspector.
18:03
Don't go, Perkins.
18:05
I'd like to ask you a few questions first.
18:08
Mr Havisham, Miss Collymore, if you'd be so kind,
18:11
ask to give us a moment's privacy.
18:13
Naturally.
18:19
don't just stand that Perkins take a seat I don't
18:24
smoke but you go ahead how you feeling
18:29
Perkins a little shaken sir but I'll be ah
18:37
my god you were close with
18:43
have a share? Yes, sir. Very close. You
18:49
don't seem very upset by his death. I
18:54
barely
18:54
think it is on the contrary. Oh, he was such
19:00
a kindly charming man. It's true. You
19:04
met him? Once briefly at local... Evening,
19:09
Inspector. Once briefly.
19:11
at the local police station.
19:14
Police station, he came in.
19:15
I had lobes.
19:16
He came as a consultant on a fraud case I was working on.
19:19
I see.
19:22
How long have you been working at Havasham Manor?
19:25
80 years.
19:29
Eight years.
19:31
And have you enjoyed your time here?
19:33
My time at Havasham Manor has been such a joy.
19:36
I haven't, I felt that ever since.
19:40
I forgot the years.
19:42
I'm not only seen as a butler, but also a friend.
19:45
If you'll meet me again, I'll be in my quarters.
19:54
If you'd be so kind as send in Florence Collymore
19:57
on your way out.
19:59
No need.
19:59
I'm already here.
20:01
Don't ask too much of me, Inspector.
20:02
I feel fragile as glass.
20:05
Don't ask her, Carter.
20:05
She's been through a lot tonight.
20:07
Alas, Collymore, you found me a pencil.
20:10
Yes, Inspector.
20:13
You and my notebook.
20:17
I knew I'd left them somewhere.
20:20
Now I must speak to Miss Collymore alone.
20:22
I'll be in the library for once.
20:26
Don't fret, Miss Collymore.
20:27
My questions will brief and to the point,
20:29
and then you can get some rest.
20:31
Firstly, how old are you, Miss Collymore?
20:34
21.
20:35
I'll make note of that.
20:41
How long ago did you first meet your fiancée?
20:44
Only seven months ago, but my brother has known him for years.
20:49
When do we do to be married?
20:51
In the new year.
20:53
Well, that's enough notes for now, I think, Miss Connemore.
20:56
When you love someone, there's no such thing as rushing, Inspector.
21:00
Did you ever think you were rushing into this marriage?
21:02
Why wouldn't I love him?
21:03
Did you love him then?
21:05
How could anyone have benefited?
21:06
Can you think of anyone who might have benefited from a fiancé's death?
21:11
Not even Cecil!
21:12
Don't tell me to calm down!
21:14
Calm down, Miss Collymore!
21:16
I wasn't having an affair! Don't raise your voice at me, Inspector!
21:19
You were having an affair!
21:21
What letter?
21:22
Then how'd you explain the letter on the mantelpiece?
21:28
I didn't write that letter!
21:29
You wrote that letter!
21:31
You've read my le-
21:31
Where did you find it?
21:33
Addressed to Cecil, written in your hand,
21:36
declaring a love for him,
21:37
and how the thought of marrying Charles repulsed you.
21:40
Charles read it?
21:41
You read my letter?
21:42
Where did you find it?
21:43
In Charles' pocket!
21:45
Charles read it?
21:46
Then it was suicide!
21:47
Or a murder conceived by you,
21:49
and to have a sham,
21:50
so you could run away together.
21:52
It's true.
21:53
Cecil and I were having an affair,
21:55
but that's all.
21:56
Neither of us wanted to hurt Charles,
21:58
let alone kill him.
21:59
It's my...
22:00
It's my job to ask difficult questions, Miss Collymore.
22:02
I'm sorry if this upsets you.
22:05
Upsets me? How dare you?
22:07
My fiancé was murdered in this fair room a matter of hours ago.
22:10
I find your manner must not be fitting.
22:12
I shall make a formal complaint to Scotland Yard.
22:14
Scotland Yard will not listen to the complaints of a murderess.
22:18
You diabolical beast. How can you?
22:20
I won't stand for this, Inspector.
22:22
Accuse me again, and you'll be-
22:23
What sort of sh-
22:27
What is-
22:28
Is this, Inspector?
22:30
I'm merely interviewing Miss Collymore, nothing more.
22:37
Florence, calm down.
22:42
Stop shouting.
22:45
She's having another one of her episodes.
22:47
Snap out of it, you're being hysterical.
22:53
Come back here this instant.
22:56
She's run off. I'll fetch her back. You stay here, Cecil. I dare say the inspector has
23:01
some questions for you. You are Charles' brother after all.
23:06
I'm sorry, Inspector. She's badly shaken. We
23:11
all are. It's been quite a night and it's getting late.
23:15
Eleven o'clock already.
23:19
Well, Inspector, do you have any questions for me?
23:22
Oh, yes, Mr. Havisham.
23:24
similar to those I asked Miss Collymore.
23:26
Fire away, Inspector. I'm at your service.
23:29
Indeed. You were no brother. Did you get along well?
23:33
Up and down. Since father died, that's one of the most
23:36
strain on our relationship. It was no secret that father
23:39
cared for Charles one and myself.
23:41
This is your father in the portrait, is it not?
23:45
It is.
23:49
He looks at the spit of Charles, doesn't he?
23:52
He did ever since we were quite young.
23:56
He was a junior by four years?
23:58
Almost four, yes.
24:01
And I know it.
24:02
Childs patronized and embarrassed me throughout childhood.
24:05
He always thought he knew best.
24:07
And father always took a side.
24:09
If he ever gets away, he was unbearable.
24:13
I see.
24:17
It's a dark night.
24:20
Cecil?
24:23
In...spector?
24:24
You can barely even make out the trees.
24:28
What are you saying, Inspector?
24:32
I'm saying, Cecil, that tonight would be the perfect night for you to murder your brother.
24:37
Inspector, please.
24:39
Me and my brother have differences, but deep down we cared for one another.
24:44
And yet you had an affair with his fiancée?
24:47
What on earth if you'd-
24:48
that idea that i found in charles's pocket from miss collimore to yourself you know
24:53
about that
24:54
as it seems did charles well bravo
24:59
inspector very good you know about florence and i but it proves
25:04
nothing we didn't have a thing to do with charles's mother but i can tell
25:09
you who does
25:10
who thomas collymor collymor but he and charles
25:15
were old friends
25:16
He's a dangerously enhanced man, for devil of a temper,
25:22
and Florence is his sister.
25:24
I've said it before, and I'll say it again.
25:26
But he couldn't give his sister up to any man, much less his old school chum.
25:30
No, it's an engagement party made him lose control, and he laughed out against Charles.
25:35
A crime of passion, perhaps, but there it is.
25:38
Thank you, Mr. Havisham. You've been most helpful.
25:41
Perhaps you could fetch Thomas Coymore on your way out.
25:44
I'm going to follow more than one line of inquiry at a time to get to the bottom of this.
25:48
At want, Inspector. Anything to top the progress of your investigation.
25:57
Hang it all, Charles. Who could have killed you? Everybody under this blustered roof
26:02
seems guilty.
26:04
That's strange. There's something underneath these cushions. A ledger?
26:12
Ledger?
26:22
Ledger!
26:27
Ledger?
26:31
Ledger!
26:46
Ledger, ledger, stop laughing, just
26:53
don't pity me, I'm doing fine as you can
26:58
see.
27:02
Wait, there's one place I haven't checked, a ledger!
27:11
With Charles' initials inscribed onto the cover, what's inside?
27:16
Notes, bills, what's this?
27:19
The last little testament of Charles Havisham dated only today?
27:28
Let me see.
27:29
I, Charles Havisham, hereby amend my last little testament to
27:35
leave my money, Havisham...
27:36
and all its contents and grounds to one good Lord Thomas
27:43
call him all for you
27:44
inspector ah thank you Cecil tell me the Charles of a study but he gets those
27:49
papers of course second on her right I'll return presently take your time
27:53
inspector indeed did
28:00
you find Florence she ran out onto the grounds
28:28
Tell me, Thomas, how did you feel about Charles and Florence's relationship?
28:33
I was overjoyed, of course. I love Florence and I love Charles. I could never prove more of the matter.
28:38
But, Colmar, it's well known that you're protective of your sister.
28:43
Uh, get it?
28:57
Good evening. It's for you.
28:59
What the devil is it?
29:01
Your accountant, Collymore.
29:03
At 11.30 in the evening?
29:11
Good evening, Thomas Collymore speaking.
29:13
It is inconvenient, yes.
29:15
My written deposits?
29:16
What have them?
29:19
What are you talking about, man?
29:22
Nine thousand pounds stolen?
29:24
Good God, Perkins, get in here.
29:26
Yes, sir.
29:27
Fetch me a bank book, Perkins.
29:31
Your bank book, sir.
29:33
Thank you, Perkins.
29:36
This is outrageous.
29:38
How could you allow this to happen?
29:39
I shall report you to your superiors.
29:41
Who am I speaking with?
29:43
Mr. Fitzroy.
29:44
I'll write that name down.
29:52
I shall let you know that this telephone call has put me in a very difficult position.
29:57
I shall hang up the phone this instant.
30:01
What is it, Collie Ma?
30:02
Money stolen from my account.
30:04
Good Lord.
30:05
Nine thousand pounds stolen from my private savings.
30:07
Most irregular.
30:08
What ghastly business.
30:10
First, my oldest friend murdered in cold blood.
30:12
And next, I find myself at the edge of a financial ruin.
30:15
This evening could get no worse.
30:17
Thomas, I have a confession.
30:20
I was going to say anything.
30:21
But, well, it seems his victor has found out and blasted him.
30:25
of keeping secrets spit it out Cecil well Florence and I are having an affair
30:29
what you're my sister now
30:36
calm down Collymore I knew it you were always the
30:39
snake in the grass it's not what you think we're in love my sister does not
30:43
love you how dare you lay a finger on her your own brother's fiance it's
30:47
disgusting no wonder your father hated you
30:53
Don't speak about my father that way Collie Ma. Well, it seems there's no idea
30:58
who killed Charles anymore
31:00
He was killed by his inviolate her brother and if it's of jealous rage
31:04
I shan't stand for this. You'll be sorry. You ever need a finger on my sister have a sham. You'll be
31:09
sorry
31:21
What happened?
31:23
I'm going through the window.
31:35
Gunshots in the library!
31:36
By Jove!
31:38
Dear God, what's going on?
31:40
I don't know, Inspector. I was here until I heard screams from downstairs.
31:44
Florence, get in here. It's not safe down there.
31:52
I'd want to be here.
31:55
Thomas, I'm frightened.
31:58
Don't worry, Florence. You're safe up here.
32:00
What's going on?
32:01
Isn't it obvious? Hessell has lost control.
32:05
Hessell, surely not.
32:07
He killed Charles tonight, driven mad by his love for you.
32:11
And now he knows we've found him out.
32:13
I cannot bear it.
32:18
Kessel would not do such a thing.
32:20
Of course you would, the blasted lunatic.
32:23
You used to trust people, Tom.
32:25
You changed.
32:29
Try to stay calm, Miss Gullymore.
32:33
Save me, brother.
32:34
Save me.
32:36
I shan't let anyone have a hair on your head, Florence.
32:40
I'm panicking.
32:40
I can't believe.
32:43
Kessel?
32:44
Cecil?
32:45
Cecil is doing this.
32:49
Try to stay calm Miss Scullymore.
32:53
I shall faint.
32:56
You shan't faint, confound it!
32:58
What a devil of a situation this is!
32:59
Not so fast, Inspector!
33:09
I can't do anything right.
33:15
We're all going to survive tonight, you hear me?
33:21
Take cover!
33:22
Great Scots!
33:25
Good heavens!
33:26
Aye, me!
33:27
Deep panic, saucers crashed and landing!
33:29
We must lock him out!
33:31
Where are the keys to the door, Perkins?
33:33
Hear the arse, sir!
33:39
Quickly, Perkins! Hand them to me before-
33:41
Oh, Cecil!
33:47
Good lord!
33:51
Cecil's dead?
33:54
A double murder!
34:03
Cecil, no, no!
34:06
Time of death, quarter to midnight.
34:09
I loved him! I loved him! I know it's wrong, I know he was engaged to Charles, but Cecil was mine
34:15
and...
34:19
I was his! I loved him!
34:22
This is a fine mess, sir, the worst that I've seen in 88 years of service.
34:26
Through tears! How will I go on?
34:29
But who could have killed him?
34:31
That's a good question, Mr. Gullimore.
34:34
And one we need to answer quickly. If we all want to get out of this house...
34:38
alive oh inspector you've given me a chill Perkins pour us all another
34:43

35:06
No one, Inspector.
35:07
I'm the only one, Mr. Master Keene, as instructed.
35:10
I locked him both through the doors as soon as you arrived.
35:13
Then who could have killed him?
35:15
That's a good question, Mr. Gullymore.
35:17
And one we need to answer quickly.
35:19
If we all want to get out of this house alive.
35:24
Oh, Inspector, you've given me a chill.
35:27
Perkins, pour us all another scotch.
35:29
Yes, Inspector.
35:34
Now tell me, is there anyone you know of still in the grounds other than the four of us?
35:39
Not a soul.
35:40
The staff will go home in the weekends, except for local Perkins, of course.
35:46
Good God I needed that.
35:48
Is anyone of access to the grounds?
35:50
No one, Inspector.
35:52
I'm the only one with domestic heat and acid sugar.
35:54
I locked him both of the doors as soon as you arrived.
35:58
Then you could have killed him.
36:00
Thank you so much mushrooms.
36:02
That's a good question, Mr. Gullymore.
36:04
And one we need to answer quickly,
36:06
if we all want to get out of this house alive.
36:13
Oh, Inspector, you've given me a chill.
36:16
Perkins, pour us all a little scotch.
36:19
Yes, Inspector.
36:20
Now tell me, is there anyone you know of
36:23
still in the grounds other than the four of us?
36:26
Not us all.
36:27
The stuff I got home on the weekends, except for Perkins.
36:30
Jackins, of course.
36:33
Good God, I needed an answer.
36:35
Is anyone have access to the grounds?
36:38
No one, Inspector.
36:40
I'm the only one with the master key, and that's Inspector.
36:42
I locked him both at the door as soon as you arrived.
36:45
Then who could have killed him?
36:49
That's a good question, Mr. Gollymore.
36:51
And why we need to answer quickly
36:53
if we all want to get out of this house alive?
36:59
Oh, Inspector, you've given me a chill!
37:02
Perkins, pour us all another scotch!
37:05
Yes, Inspector.
37:09
Now tell me, is there anyone you know of still in the grounds other
37:14
than the four of us?
37:16
Not a soul!
37:18
The staff will go home in the weekend, except for Perkins, of course!
37:24
Good God, I need that!
37:26
I have access to the grounds!
37:29
No one!
37:32
I'm the only one, Mr. Bessickey, and as the instructor,
37:35
I locked him both through the doors as soon as you arrived.
37:37
Then who could have killed him?
37:39
That's a good question, Mr. Galloway.
37:41
And why do we need to arm so quickly?
37:44
If we all want to get out of this house, I urge!
37:49
Oh, Inspector, you've given me a chill!
37:53
Packings! Pour us on!
37:57
Is there anyone you know of still in the grounds?
38:01
Arthur and the four of us!
38:03
Not a soul!
38:05
The stuff I got home in the weekend!
38:07
Except for Perkins, of course!
38:10
Good God, I need that!
38:12
Does anyone have access to the grounds?
38:16
No one!
38:18
Inspector.
38:19
I'm the only one with the best key, and as instructor,
38:21
I locked in both of the doors.
38:22
as soon as you arrive.
38:23
Then who could have killed him?
38:25
That's a good question, Mr. Glymore.
38:28
Are you sure that's the right line?
38:30
Oh dear, sorry, my brain is kinda broken right now.
38:35
No one could have killed him
38:36
except for the people in this very room.
38:41
You're right, it's one of us.
38:43
Hang it all, I'm stuck in a room full of murderers.
38:46
I'm stuck in a room full of murderers.
38:50
you killed Charles and Hussle Havisham tonight and we shan't leave this house until the mat
38:54
is solved. You, take this booty outside. Yes, Inspector. I'll
38:59
lend you a hand, Peckins.
39:09
Hopefully that page wasn't important.
39:31
My bag!
39:38
So, let's go over the box.
39:41
That wasn't important either.
39:43
Oh, it's such a terrible night.
39:45
Florence!
39:46
You engaged Mary Charles, a man who, according to your letter, you despised.
39:52
Not only this, but you were having an affair with his brother...
39:56
It seems plausible to me that you both murdered him so you could be together.
39:59
Oh, stop it, Inspector.
40:01
Cecil's dead too now, and I certainly didn't kill...
40:04
What's going on in...
40:06
You're lying, Florence.
40:07
You killed him.
40:12
She's having another one of a...
40:14
hysterical episodes. Stay calm, Miss Scullymore. Florence, behave
40:20
with some decorum.
40:21
Someone ouch to fetch a medication. I'll go.
40:28
Someone's locked the door. Good God,
40:29
we're trapped. Trapped? My God. You
40:40
killed your fiancée, Florence. What do you have to say if your
40:49
yourself. I am an honorable woman, Inspector! You're lying,
40:54
Florence! You killed him! I can't
40:57
say no matter this, Inspector! You're all beasts! Did you enjoy killing
41:02
your husband,
41:03
Miss Collymall? How dare you make such an accusation, Inspector! Calm
41:09
down, Florence, really.
41:11
I should sit in another second in this room.
41:13
If I can't get out the door, I shall disappear in the window.
41:16
Oh, my God, you're trying to climb out of the window.
41:20
Don't go out of the window.
41:22
It's tall.
41:23
You'll hurt yourself.
41:24
You'll break all your bones.
41:27
I need to interview more.
41:28
Oh, come back here.
41:30
Don't go.
41:31
Oh, dear.
41:32
Oh, no.
41:33
I'm no murderer.
41:35
Calm yourself, Miss Collymore.
41:37
You asses have a shower.
41:39
Both have possible motives for murder, but not the true motive.
41:43
What are you saying, Inspector?
41:45
I'm saying the true motive belongs to Perkins.
41:48
Perkins?
41:49
Me, Inspector?
41:51
You, Perkins.
41:52
A little earlier, I stumbled across Charles' newly written last land testament.
41:56
It is only today declaring that Charles wanted to make Perkins the sole beneficiary
42:01
of his inheritance.
42:02
Surely not Perkins.
42:04
This is all a mistake.
42:06
Save your pudding.
42:07
the police station. Cuff them, Thomas.
42:28
I'll drive with them myself as soon as the snowstorm has passed. That won't be
42:31
before our first snow is at its peak.
42:35
didn't kill Cecil as well. This is all a misunderstanding. I haven't killed anyone
42:39
but I know who has. You know who killed Charles? I do. Who? Inspector
42:45
did. What?
42:48
What? Puppycock. You didn't. I know why. Shut your mouth, Perkins.
42:54
You did it because
42:55
Charles knew about the police money you were. Embeasling.
43:01
Nonsense.
43:03
You mentioned he had several rendezvous with Charles at the police
43:09
station.
43:09
You mentioned he was on a concert on a fraud case you were working on.
43:13
What of it?
43:15
Charles came home that evening, fair intrigued by the whole case.
43:17
He decided to take matters personally.
43:20
He found out why no man has been arrested.
43:22
Because the man committing the fraud was yourself, the perpetrator.
43:25
You were the perpetrator.
43:26
You can't prove it.
43:27
But Charles could. That's why you killed him.
43:31
What? I know your secret, Inspector. What will you do? Kill me, too?
43:36
I will! Confound it!
43:38
What a devil of a situation this is.
43:41
Not so fast, Inspector!
43:50
Mr. Havisham!
43:53
Charles?
43:54
Charlie, I thought you were dead.
43:57
You're alive! It's not possible!
43:59
Oh, I'm afraid it is. You couldn't kill me, Daddy.
44:05
How did you survive?
44:07
I told Perkins we've been working together all along.
44:11
Ever since we last spoke at the police station, it was clear you thought I was on to you.
44:15
At this point, I'm afraid you tried to kill me.
44:18
For months now, I had my guard up, and tonight, you fell into my trap.
44:22
You've been hiding underground ever since you planted the poison.
44:24
I thought it was strange you got here so quickly.
44:27
It's such terrible weather!
44:32
Then you found Charles Ledger and his will and you tried to pin the whole thing on me.
44:37
You darned crafty devil!
44:40
Crafty indeed.
44:41
Perkins here is as innocent as I am.
44:44
Uncover him this instant!
44:56
Drop the gun, Inspector.
44:59
I, me!
45:00
Never! I can't make it kill you, Charles!
45:03
And I won't leave until the job's done!
45:05
It's over, Inspector. I can prove your guilt in a second.
45:08
I have the evidence in my study.
45:10
Fetch the papers, Perkins.
45:12
Yes, sir.
45:16
Oh, thank you.
45:24
Lower your weapon, Inspector. It's over.
45:27
Please, Inspector, you're frightening me!
45:29
You ought to be frightened!
45:31
You monster! You tried to kill-
45:33
You monster! You tried to kill Charles, and you killed Cecil. How could you?
45:38
I'll admit, I tried to kill Charles, but I never went anywhere near Cecil.
45:43
In fact, when I discovered you were here and having an affair, I was overjoyed.
45:47
I had a perfect amount of pinnacle until my accomplice blundered-
45:52
It's true, and your accomplice, I regret to say,
45:55
has been my friend ever since we were at school.
45:58
Isn't that right?
45:59
Thomas Collymore!
46:00
All right, it's true.
46:02
I'm the inspector's accomplice.
46:03
I hope to move the money.
46:05
Brother, I'm surprised that you...
46:07
Brother!
46:08
I'm surprised you...
46:09
I don't know what you've become!
46:10
I'm so ashamed.
46:11
I met Inspector Carter here a few months ago,
46:14
down at my club.
46:15
We found between us,
46:16
so we could steal the money from the police's funder accounts easily.
46:19
Cut out the access, and I had the facility to move it fast and keep it secure.
46:24
Or so I thought until tonight.
46:28
I didn't know what page you're on, mate.
46:31
As for Cecil.
46:34
That was more of a crime of passion.
46:36
Simple as that.
46:38
But I loved him!
46:39
He was my only!
46:40
Thank you, Perkins!
46:41
He was my only!
46:43
Thank you, Perkins.
46:44
Now go fetch the pipe from my study.
46:46
Yes, sir.
46:48
Now I hold in my hand a written list of every fraudulent transaction Inspector Carter and Thomas Collymore
46:53
have made.
46:54
This can't be true. I will believe it. This can't be true. I won't believe it. I can't believe
46:59
it.
47:02
But it's true. When I found he was interfering with you, Florence, my own sister,
47:07
well, it's more than I could bear.
47:10
Your sordid affair sickened me, Florence. You broke my heart.
47:13
No, Charlie. You must it. I'm fake.
47:16
I made a mistake. Take me back. I'll be yours all over again.
47:19
Take back a woman to detrade me? Never.
47:22
Charlie, you're here. Love me. Please, don't cast me aside.
47:25
I should be not cast in time.
47:27
Thank you, Perkins. God knows I could use this hair.
47:31
Charlie, I've got to bat another second. Look at me.
47:35
Silence, Lawrence. You're nothing to me now.
47:36
Fetch the door, Perkins.
47:38
This is the worst night of my life.
47:41
No, no, no.
47:46
This is the worst night of my life
47:48
No, it is the worst of mine
47:52
But Thomas, Carter had you fooled, didn't he?
47:55
What do you mean?
47:56
He never intended to share the money with you
47:58
Let me summarize
47:59
I love you, Charlie
48:01
Inspector Carter knew why he discovered you
48:03
And he were embezzling police money
48:05
So he had to
48:06
I still got the ring, Charlie
48:07
We can make this work
48:09
Why'd you kill me?
48:10
Time can poison water for me
48:12
a drink, then mistakenly believing I was dead. Carter then tried to pin my murder on Cecil
48:16
and Florence because of the affair until the accomplice Thomas blundered in and shot my
48:21
brother Cecil. Carter then tried to pin my murder on Perkins instead after finding my will in the
48:25
ledger. Take it back, Charlie. It was good for you. Except what you did know, Thomas,
48:31
was that
48:31
the inspector made a 9,000 pound withdrawal from private accounts this morning after framing someone
48:36
for my murder. Pant a flea, taking every last penny. I think it's time.
48:40
you upon your attache case, Inspector.
48:47
The nine dozen pounds.
48:50
He allowed you to take all the risk by storing the stolen money in your private accounts.
48:54
Isn't that right, Inspector?
48:55
Oh, right. It's true. I forwarded your signature at the bank and took every penny.
49:00
I hadn't bargained in your accountant, cashing up as quickly and telephoning you so soon.
49:06
You rogue! I trusted you!
49:08
You made a mistake there, Carlton, I'm afraid it's your last.
49:15
My fingers.
49:20
Oh, God.
49:36
The officers are waiting in the halls, sir.
49:42
I've got my fiancé downstairs.
49:44
I wish to have a word with Thomas in private.
49:48
Yes, sir.
49:52
Thomas, you're not the man I knew from Eaton.
49:54
You've become jealous and greedy.
49:56
I'm sorry, Charles.
49:57
I feel as though I'm about to pass out.
49:58
There's a glass of water next to the telephone.
50:00
Thank you, Charles.
50:01
Over the kind hosts.
50:02
Drink it up, most kind.
50:07
tell me Thomas one thing anything Charles I shall tell no more lies the glass
50:12
of
50:12
poisoned water the inspector left out for me what do you suppose I did with it
50:17
well I don't know what do you mean you don't mean you gave me the Charlie
50:21
Charlie no no no oh
50:29
how I wish things could have ended differently
50:33
Thomas, your lies and deceits have led you inexorably to this end.
50:37
If men allow their conscience to be gunned by avarice,
50:40
then death and destruction shall prevail.
50:42
Betrayed by my brother.
50:53
Betrayed by my fiancée.
50:55
And almost murdered by my oldest friend.
50:59
Let us talk.
51:00
We never again see a murderer at Havisham Man.
51:28
Thank you.
