Flambeau, you must do something for me. Follow the man with the fake nose.
How do you know that it is fake? -Zoiets You do not wear out of vanity.
His own nose is probably nicer.
Do you know who it is? No, you?
Besides, who are you? -I do not think you can help me.
But you need help, right?
You are here went in because it was the only shelter.
You sit on the academy, right? With that folder and elegant hat.
I am Christabel Carstairs. -What A pretty uninspiring name.
You believe firmly not ogres with false noses.
They always look sadly out in this weather.
Tell me who it is?
I do not know. He's trying to blackmail me.
Have you done anything wrong?
You tell it. It's probably not as bad as you think.
What is so terrible is that I have denied my brother and my father.
You know maybe he, Colonel Carstairs.
Yes, he has built up a large collection of Roman coins.
I've read an obituary, two months back in the newspaper.
Yes he was. A great man, but also strict and inflexible.
He had never understood my mistake.
He had declared me crazy. That collection was his life.
He had coins of all Roman emperors.
The heads of those coins meant more to him than his children.
Is that Heliogabulus? Yeah, dressed as vestal.
An unpleasant gentleman, Mr. Truslove.
That you have a Sestertius of Hadrian.
I've seen one at an auction in Amsterdam.
There, I bought him.
I have been offered to you. -As So often.
I did not know, Colonel.
I prefer to bid anonymously. Otherwise, the price goes up.
If you want to auction ever, I hope that you tell me.
There are coins that I really would like to. -There Will be no auction.
The Carstairs collection remains intact. -How beautiful.
Is not it strange that the best piece in the collection ...
not is made of gold or silver, but of bronze.
As shiny as a new penny. -But Without George V on it.
Augustus Caesar. Extraordinary.
So fresh and exquisite that he ... -From is invaluable.
I wanted to "live" say.
Right, yeah. Who has the collection now?
My brother Arthur. He always had the most interest.
My brother Giles was in Australia and was not at the funeral.
They could not get through a single door. Giles is rather inconsiderate.
Father gave him little left. -And What have you inherited?
Everything except the collection. All his money and house on Brompton Gate.
I found it not fair and I did not live there.
Arthur lives there when he arrives. He is often away for auctions.
I hardly use the house. -Where do you live?
I have a flat in Chelsea.
It's much nicer and near the academy.
I did not want to just be rich, I wanted to do something meaningful.
I am now at the art school of Miss Oliphant.
Do you inspiration? Talent you can learn, but inspiration comes from within.
Let everything flow, without inhibitions.
You know Max already? Our oldest student, but very young at heart.
Come sit with me. Is that your job? What an expensive suitcase.
Have you ever sat in class? -No, not that.
Hello, I'm Madge, this is Hector.
Pay no attention to Max, that old boor. -Pardon? This is well-bred lady.
Mr Hawker, you come when you're ready? Pull the bathrobe but out.
On stage, dear boy. Do you remember? If so.
Here is your discus. You'd better be good.
Better than a bowl of apples.
His name is Philip Hawker. I knew immediately that I had seen his face before.
Where I knew only a few days later. When I was already in love.
He was different from the other men I knew. Brokers and officers.
Who knew as a child how was their life.
And they stay in that rut until their death.
Philip did not care about the future. He had various jobs: in a garage ...
on the market, and as a taxi driver. I thought he was great.
You're so smart. -Welnee, Jack is enough.
You're not stupid, you had just ... -No good education.
In an orphanage learn little. -What Awful.
It could have been worse, but family is better.
Not always. I'm worried about my family.
To Arthur? -I have visited him yesterday.
He neglects the house. All of the staff was dismissed.
On a maid after that is almost senile. It is dusty and dirty.
Tap him on the fingers. It's your house?
I'm afraid of him. He does so crazy. How can I explain it?
Since father's death, Arthur is still to become more like him.
Not at first. Arthur is the smartest of the family.
He studied mathematics and economics.
But now he seems to be obsessed.
What? -The Carstairs Collection.
He takes every night out to eagerly look into it.
He pretends that the coins should be guarded against ...
with all the old Roman virtues. If they already were.
I know little of it.
Was not there a guy fiddling when Rome was burning?
I think is neat. The Romans were one bunch of beasts.
They were proud and cruel and did terrible things to their family.
Nero fiedelde not alone.
He sent his mother the sea in a leaky boat.
How much you know. ls he sunk? Yeah, they pulled the plug out.
If Arthur does something to you, I hit him on his nose.
Summer, bah.
Yes, Mrs. Gow? -There Is somebody for you. Your brother.
Oh yeah? That will do. Let him come up.
If you're talking about the devil, Arthur's. What does he want?
He's never been here. He thinks Chelsea depraved.
Should I leave? -Then He sees you on the stairs.
Should I hide? -Do Not be silly, I'm an adult.
Good heavens. Giles.
That old pliers thought I was lying.
I'm amazed. What a time back. When did you arrive?
This morning. I went to the house. There I got your address.
Sorry. Philip Hawker, dit is m'n broer Giles.
I have so much to tell. -I let you go ahead.
You do not leave. -Jawel. See you tomorrow at school.
Shall we have lunch? Then we can invent our costumes.
School costumes? What's up with that?
The art school of Miss Oliphant. I started painting.
We go next week to the kunstbal.
Are you going with him?
You may also bring, if you disguises. Everybody goes, it is very nice.
Tell me about Australia. -Rather not. It was not a success.
No, apparently it does you no good.
I thought you would look at the advertising: handsome and bronzed.
You're so pale.
Do you want coffee? I have just put, Philip.
This is very good.
You can find it beautiful? -Miss Oliphant is a good teacher.
It helps if the subject interests you. Is he a movie star?
I ask, because I know this face. -Oh yeah?
What crazy. I thought so too.
Have you seen Arthur? -He Did not see me.
You should write after father's death.
As two drops of water. Philip looks exactly like the Roman emperor.
What was his name? -August Caesar.
Exactly, that bronze coin that had father. What remarkable.
Ja, Fisher? -Miss Christabel is er.
Let her wait. -Prima.
Mr. Arthur, you will receive shortly. -Thank You, Fisher.
What spook you out there?
I set the clock again. Where is the key?
I'd received so immediately. -The Clock stopped.
You live like a hermit. -It Could be worse.
Fisher is not alone. They should have help.
You know that I am poor.
I want to pay, however. I do not want the house gets so into disrepair.
You protect your property so.
Giles is back, you know? -He Came along. I did not see him.
Why not? -He Father hurt.
He was not even at the funeral. -That Could not. He was in Australia.
That's in the past. Be nice. -Want Him work for a living?
Of course. He goes tomorrow to apply for a bank.
When a bank? Right. And where does he live?
For now with me in the guest room, until he has something.
What generous of you. -I have always been fond of Giles.
Women have a preference for weak men.
He certainly broke. -It Did not work in Australia.
You take care especially for him. Yes, if you do not.
You are the rich woman of the family. -This Is ridiculous.
The house and property are not nearly as valuable as the collection.
Should I sell to your brother? -It's Your brother.
There are probably double or coins that you do not want. There are hundreds.
Silly child. This collection is unique and perfect.
Our grandfather started it. Father lived it, including me.
They are all Roman coins, completely smooth, in gold, silver and bronze.
No museum has such a treasure. The management has been entrusted to us.
To me. I'm the only one with responsibility.
I am only a woman. Clocks should indicate the time.
You have to live in reality, you can not lock so.
What have those coins to use? They lie in a vault, they are dead.
Where are you going? -The Key finding your clock.
That does not matter, that's not what I ...
It really does not matter. I have to go now.
Chelsea 3-5-6.
Hallo, is Mr Hawker daar?
Can we meet? In the park near the monument.
I want to give you something.
Come on, it's terribly important.
About twenty minutes?
Are not you out the door? -Luckily not. Arthur rang.
For me? No, for me.
He was nice. Where I went to apply, if he could help.
We are still talking about. I have to go now.
Yes, apparently you're in a hurry.
Even during the day I had the feeling I was being watched.
I was a delinquent, a thief.
But when I saw Philip, could not care anymore.
Philip, darling. Dear Philip.
What? -I love you.
I have an appointment. You sounded so excited. What is it?
I want to give you something. It is a kind of love pledge.
Beautiful. What is it? -See You not?
This portrait looks like you. Yeah, I suppose. Thank you.
Let's do something crazy. -I have an appointment. I'm already late.
Let's go boating. -I really can not, I have to go.
Excuse me, do you know what time it is?
You are very generous, Miss Carstairs. Can you miss a coin?
Who are you? -I saw what you did.
You're a thief, Miss Carstairs. How much would you pay hush money?
What a remarkable story. I would like to help if I can.
That man ... You've seen him. He really exists.
The past few days I had the feeling that he followed me everywhere.
I saw him from the corner of my eye but when I looked up, he was gone.
You still think he really exists? -It's Not a demon, as you thought.
Demons do not wear fake noses. Who know how to disguise themselves better.
No, that man knows of your slip and want to blackmail.
But how could he have seen it?
He was far away, on the monument, with sunglasses on.
How could he see what I gave Philip?
No idea. An interesting problem that is solved fixed.
He should leave you alone. If we catch him ...
You do not get it? When I go to the police, it all comes out.
I can not tolerate. I have stolen from my own family.
I have not been delirious.
You're in love. People who are in love, sometimes do crazy.
The head on the coin looked exactly like Philip. I had to contrive to give.
As a kind of wild wedding ring. -Yes, But you need him reclaim.
You are only blackmail if you have something wrong. If you'm returning it ...
Give back to Arthur? You know what does he do?
He trumpets around that I'm a thief.
You will not just get away with it. You have him finally removed.
We could him but unnoticed by Arthur back down.
First we need him recover. Your friend know this?
I stole that currency? Of course not.
You have not been told about the blackmail. Flambeau, there is news?
That nose was indeed fake. I could see nothing of his face.
I have followed him a bit, but he saw me and jumped in a taxi.
I heard the address. In Chelsea, Cheyne Place 18.
That's my address. Maybe he's waiting for you.
Her brother Giles lives there too.
Thank you, that's great. I'll see you Monday morning.
I know where it is. The branch in the center. Thank you.
ls Miss Carstairs er? -Ze is naar les.
Can I help you? -Are You Mr. Giles Carstairs?
Your sister has told a lot about you. I'm a private investigator Flambeau.
What is this about? -That I'd rather not say.
Your sister is being harassed and asked me for help.
There, she said nothing about it. -It Is very unpleasant for a girl.
Glad I only speak. The bursts of dangerous people.
But you were away for a while, to Australia.
You knew very well that Christabel was not home. The landlady assured.
She sees everything. So you want me to speak. -You Are right about the concierge.
It was an interesting conversation. She said your sister this morning left.
And you got a visit from a stranger with black dress.
It is not wise. There was none here.
As you said, she sees everything. She was about to go shopping.
The man pushed her aside. -I did not let him inside.
Did he have a key? -Only I and Christabel.
And the landlady. What you are referring to?
Maybe she's wrong. There are more floors in this building.
Who is my sister being harassed? What does he want?
As you know, she's rich. Maybe he wants to cheat her money.
What a strange clothes for fashionable young man.
We go to a fancy dress ball. Want to know more?
And a false beard. Whom do you suggest?
U kent hem niet. Ned Kelly. -De Australische bandiet.
He was wearing a metal mask? I do not see here.
Mr Hawker also go to the ball? -I think so. How so?
I think he is protecting your sister. It is in his interest that they remain rich.
Nobody loves so much money as someone who is poor.
He would be an excellent husband for her. Do not you agree?
Hector do not know if he's going as Piero or Bacchus.
Bacchus allowed to bring bottles. This saves at the bar.
Do you have the tickets? You have to get them at the Albert Hall.
We can gather with me. How many of are we?
Miss Oliphant wait here with beer and sandwiches.
We can not offend her. -What They don?
Asjemenou. -Het is Cleopatra.
I'm not done with the headdress. There's a snake in.
What do you think? -You Look beautiful.
So sweet of you. -Mr Hawker.
I want to talk to you in private. Do you mind?
No not at all. I'm going to just attract.
Is something wrong with Christabel? -Not yet.
Frankly I do not want you hanging out with her.
It did not matter to me that she was in love with a model.
But you're not going to whine money. -Pardon?
She gave you the money, huh? I was at home when she called you last.
She would meet you. -Where Do you take me for?
There are men who take advantage of rich women.
You have deliberately deceived her. -Hello, Giles.
What are you doing here?
Knot in your ears what I said.
It rains. Have you seen my umbrella?
Do you think I'm a pimp? -What?
If you see me brother. What did you tell him?
Nothing. -All Those outings where you treat me up.
Was it fun to train me at your expense?
I wanted to do that? -I do not abuse you.
This makes no sense. The things you want to do, I can not pay.
That does not matter. I treat you like at the theater and at dinner parties.
I want that. -You Can not get everything you want.
How rich you are.
Excuse me, there's a gentleman for you. A cleric.
What does he want? -That He did not say.
Should I let him? -Good then.
You may enter. -Would you...
Mr Carstairs? Excuse me to interrupt.
My name is Brown. I write about Byzantine manuscripts.
You've got a coin of Emperor Constantine that would look nice on the cover.
I have several. -What A mumps. May I...
I do not shoot my collection. Moreover fraud.
Excuse me. I get visit.
What a lovely home. The Victorians could be build.
I do not know why you're here, but I urge you to go away.
Good afternoon. The priest was just leaving.
If you want a picture, please inform at Mr Truslove.
What kind. Mr Truslove, may I have your card?
A nice day.
He had immediately recognized the currency. -From a distance? That seems to me strong.
Or Arthur knew the coin was gone, and Truslove had followed the girl.
There is another suspect, who is promising.
Christ Abel's friend, Philip? Would she already asked for the coin?
lnteressant. If he is the blackmailer is ... -Was he rapidly with changing clothes.
How disguise you as quickly as in broad daylight?
Does he have a henchman? If he is, he does not return the coin.
Flambeau, I know that look. You've discovered something.
Giles Carstairs was not in Australia. -Where?
ln prison. For fraud. He could not attend the funeral.
Sorry, Philip. -Praten Makes no sense.
l think so. I was selfish. You've had a hard time.
I promise that you will never have to feel obligated.
But I do.
Come on, Philip. It was terrible to see you.
Well then, if we only do things that I can pay. That is not much.
Feeding ducks, occasionally to the theater, on the balcony.
That would be lovely. -For me too.
That currency which I have given to Caesar on it ...
What about it? -Would You'm wanting to give back?
Do you regret it? You want to be safe than sorry.
Do not be angry. There's a reason for that. -You Brother thinks I'm a profiteer.
You want to keep me in suspense as long as it does not cost anything.
So it is not. -I can'm not return.
How do you mean? -You Do not know what it's like to be broke.
I wish him no. I went to a dealer in Bond Street ...
Mr Truslove.
Do you know him? -My Father knew him.
He gave me 50 pounds. Now I can take a girl out.
Fifty pounds? -For Regret it too late.
I hope that you have had for money.
Where is Mr. Arthur? He's already a half hour out the door.
He went to a gentleman in Bond Street.
Would you like a cup of tea, Miss Christabel?
Should I close the curtains? -No do not bother.
I heard the young man away. -Her brother.
Not the other man. -Any You the key?
Yes, but ... well you -Doet still open.
Miss Carstairs. Lieve help.
Miss Carstairs? -Will I get the doctor?
No, cognac. Ms. Carstairs, what have you taken?
Aspirin. How long ago? What a stupid, ugly deed.
You must act together. Where is the bathroom? There?
Very bad for you.
You should stop your finger in your throat, you understand? You need to vomit.
What is going on? -You Are certainly Philip.
Miss Carstairs has done something stupid. It goes so well again.
If your debt but is not.
You'd definitely fight. Otherwise you could not bring tulips.
Is it really well again? Yeah, in a minute.
She'll still be just as dull. It happened this morning.
But do not go inside. That is not the right place reconciliation.
I'm going away and I will come again. Miss Carstairs explains everything.
Relax, it'll be fine. They will tell you everything.
Everthing allright? -We Are very grateful.
Providence has sent me here. And you too.
That is better. There's the cognac. -Would You a drink?
Christabel told me everything. -Then You know more than I do.
What are you so terrified? -From The man. He was in the house.
I wanted to visit Arthur. -Why?
We do not get back the currency. Philip has him sold.
I wanted Arthur to confess everything, but suddenly the man was sitting in the dining room.
He looked in through the windows. -How Did you get into the dining room?
The salon, but he must have come in through the patio doors.
Is there a door in the kitchen? Yeah, which is at the end of the corridor.
Right, yeah. What did he say?
If I gave him money and jewels, he would betray me Arthur.
He held me tight. I promised I would do him more tomorrow, at 22 hours.
I'll go with her. -Excellent Idea. I have to go now.
You may not notice. How would you like a disguise?
The masked ball. I had forgot. -I do not.
Was it wise to tell him so much?
She had told him so. Let's see what he does.
And Brother Giles? -He Is now working at a bank.
Very neat, but crazy if you're just in jail for fraud.
I know how this works. Arthur gave him a reference.
People are sometimes nicer than you think.
He also forgive her? -Lieve Heavens, no.
Steal from your employer is one thing, but the collection is sacred.
He delivers her to the police.
It makes you think Philip coin sold so quickly.
The simplest solution is now impossible.
We had him otherwise put back in Arthurs safe. You, at least.
I just go to Mr Truslove. He has a reputation to uphold.
He does not want stolen.
Call on his honor or his fear of the court.
I have something else to do. I'm going to give a dress-up.
Hallo, centrale? Chelsea 3-5-6, graag.
The art school of Miss Oliphant. Yes. A message from Miss Carstairs?
What an idea, how sweet of Christabel. I make a note of the address.
Brompton Gate 18. Yes, thank you. Bye.
He will not come. -I think so.
Even if he were here these people see?
Someone with a fake nose should feel at a masked ball home.
The guests. Philip, help them with their coats.
You give the blackmailer money, but something else.
Mr. Flambeau explains so.
Three, four, seven, eight. The combination of the safe.
lk ben straks helemaal tipsy. -ls er spuitwater?
Happily, this is a little too strong. Thank you.
Hello, Giles. -Day, Christabel. Excuse me.
A little. -It's Almost ten hours.
I can not find Philip.
What is that doing here? -I thought you were gone.
Are they your friends? I do not cooperate with this.
Why do we now have to go to the Albert Hall?
I can not find Philip. He's stuck on the corridor.
What an amazing gear. -Thank you. Those of you is beautiful.
We need together to the ball. The sacred and the profane.
Who knows, we might win a prize. Christabel, what a great house.
We can do one game. -Moordenaartje Play.
What are you funny. We will be a dance?
lk ben dol op verkleedpartijtjes, als kind al.
What are you doing, Miss Carstairs?
You've asked for money and jewelry, but I give you this.
Way there, ugly thief.
Agent, do not let anyone in here. -Passes Somebody take me home?
Yes of course. He blackmailed you certainly.
It is suspicious when people behave differently.
You found 't fool Flambeau clerk and went after him.
But you'd have to get suspicious when you got that reference.
Arthur? How so?
When he knew where you worked, he could threaten to expose you.
And you were worried that the blackmailer would inform your brother Arthur.
To my regret I must inform you that Arthur was already aware.
How awful.
That's what happens when someone's life is all about greed and money.
Arthur did not care about ancient Roman coins, but modern.
He sold everything he had inherited.
And when he wanted to enrich himself by his family to blackmail.
This is the remarkable Carstairs Collection.
ls it all away?
The collector coin was just a greedy miser.
But what is ultimately the difference?
Earns one collector admiration and not a miser?
Thou shalt not make graven images.
Thou shalt not bow down before them or worship them.
What crazy. There is still something left.
A bronze coin with the head of Caesar.
Dat is van u, Miss Carstairs.
There is definitely someone to whom you want to give it.
