1
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,200
I'm Kelvin Halliday, Third Secretary.

2
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,000
Sergeant Desai, Traffic Police.

3
00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:16,200
I'm afraid it's your wife, Mr Halliday.

4
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,900
The very worst news, my good sir.

5
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,900
Her car left the road
at the Chamber Valley Bridge

6
00:01:22,935 --> 00:01:25,100
and she plunged into the gorge.

7
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,000
Oh, Clare.

8
00:01:29,100 --> 00:01:31,600
It's not the first time there,
for such a tragedy.

9
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,500
Was Gwenda with her-- our child?

10
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,500
Fortunately, no.

11
00:01:37,535 --> 00:01:38,800
Oh, thank God.

12
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:43,300
<i>* Am I Blue? *</i>

13
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,600
<i>*Am I blue? *</i>

<i>* Ain't these tears in my eyes*</i>

15
00:01:58,035 --> 00:02:00,900

00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:20,600
Telegram. Urgent.

18
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,000
From Charles Vanstone,
British India Holdings, Delhi,

19
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,500
to Miss Gwenda Halliday,
passenger, SS Dominion,

20
00:02:29,300 --> 00:02:31,600
bound Southampton, England.

21
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:40,600
Darling Gwennie

22
00:02:41,100 --> 00:02:44,600
regret too busy take
yesterday's flight as planned.

23
00:02:46,100 --> 00:02:48,700
Pressure of work, so still In India.

24
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,300
Should have sailed with you,
my precious, after all.

25
00:02:55,300 --> 00:02:58,000
Therefore unable meet you
Southampton.

26
00:03:00,100 --> 00:03:04,300
Mr Hugh Hornbeam, London office,
instructed welcome

27
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,000
and make final wedding preparations.

28
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,300
- So sorry.
- Gather Hornbeam jolly good chap.

29
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:14,765
Desperately sorry not to

30
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,500
share your first visit to dear old England.

31
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,800
Your very own, Charles.

32
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,300
Have told Hornbeam,

33
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,700
just look for prettiest girl
in whole wide world.

34
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,500
Ah, welcome to England, Miss Halliday.

35
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,800
Darling! Darling!

36
00:03:43,835 --> 00:03:45,017
So sorry.

37
00:03:45,052 --> 00:03:46,200
I'm so sorry.

38
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,800
Oh, golly. Are you she?

39
00:03:51,100 --> 00:03:53,100
- Are you him?
- Yes.

40
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,300
Welcome to England, Miss Halliday.

41
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,500
You don't believe in travelling light?

42
00:04:06,700 --> 00:04:09,000
My life is in my luggage.
I'm not here on holiday.

43
00:04:09,100 --> 00:04:09,800
No.

44
00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:13,700
And um...congratulations
on your forthcoming marriage.

45
00:04:14,100 --> 00:04:15,000
Thank you.

46
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:23,900
Where's best for a house?

47
00:04:24,700 --> 00:04:26,400
Charles will have a pied-a-terre
in London,

48
00:04:26,435 --> 00:04:28,100
but for our family home,

49
00:04:28,500 --> 00:04:32,500
I want the ocean, such sunshine
as there may be, and views.

50
00:04:33,900 --> 00:04:35,800
I want England, Mr Hornbeam.

51
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,400
At long, long last.

52
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,200
If we turn right at the sea,

53
00:04:46,700 --> 00:04:48,200
there is Devon.

54
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,500
You won't find anything there.
It's the back of beyond.

55
00:05:01,700 --> 00:05:03,065
Torquay's a better bet.

56
00:05:03,100 --> 00:05:05,300
No, I think we should look in Dillmouth.

57
00:05:05,335 --> 00:05:06,765
I'm sure it's charming

58
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,000
but Torquay has a decent hotel
and reputable estate agents.

59
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,300
- We'll get a list of suitable properties...
- No.

60
00:05:13,100 --> 00:05:14,300
That way.

61
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:15,850
But...

62
00:05:15,885 --> 00:05:16,900
Instinct.

63
00:05:17,100 --> 00:05:19,000
I always follow my instinct.

64
00:05:20,100 --> 00:05:20,900
Drive on.

65
00:05:34,900 --> 00:05:35,700
Thank you.

66
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:39,600
Shouldn't there be a pier?

67
00:05:40,300 --> 00:05:41,600
I expect the Germans bombed it.

68
00:05:42,500 --> 00:05:43,300
Why?

69
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,600
To stop people having fun.

70
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,800
Is England anything like you expected?

71
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,600
I'm not sure what I expected.

72
00:05:58,100 --> 00:06:00,000
How long have you worked
for Charles's company?

73
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:01,865
Seven years now.

74
00:06:01,900 --> 00:06:04,400
I started at Vanstone International
after the war.

75
00:06:12,500 --> 00:06:14,000
Work that for me, will you?

76
00:06:33,300 --> 00:06:34,900
Oh, yes!

77
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,200
The view.

78
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,300
The view!

79
00:06:44,100 --> 00:06:45,600
This will be our bedroom.

80
00:06:46,100 --> 00:06:48,000
Next door would make
a wonderful dressing room.

81
00:06:48,035 --> 00:06:49,000
Perhaps we could knock through.

82
00:06:49,300 --> 00:06:50,500
What's this way?

83
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,000
What's up here?

84
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:16,000
I thought so. Simply perfect
for a nursery-- eventually.

85
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,565
Grim colour, though.

86
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,165
More cheerful wallpaper is what it needs.

87
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,900
Something pretty
like poppies and cornflowers.

88
00:07:22,935 --> 00:07:25,800
Where did I see that? In a magazine?

89
00:07:31,100 --> 00:07:32,500
It feels like home already.

90
00:07:34,100 --> 00:07:35,400
This is my house.

91
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:37,000
Fix it.

92
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,700
Yes. Righty-ho.

93
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,200
The Ellsworthys only moved out
last month.

94
00:07:42,500 --> 00:07:44,500
Mr Fane thought it'd be hard to shift.

95
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,800
Oh. It's Mr Fane's lucky day, then,
isn't it, George?

96
00:07:50,700 --> 00:07:51,700
What's the matter?

97
00:07:53,300 --> 00:07:55,200
Tell me, did someone die in this house?

98
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,300
Um...no.

99
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,000
Er...Yes... I mean...um...

100
00:08:00,035 --> 00:08:00,700
Did they?

101
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,500
I mean, I expect they must have, miss.
It's ever so old.

102
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:22,700
Mr Hornbeam!

103
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,600
- Next door!
- I'm coming through!

104
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,800
That's the second time I've done that.

105
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,800
It weren't in the original estimate, sir.

106
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,500
Help me decide, will you?

107
00:08:36,300 --> 00:08:37,300
Well, I don't know.

108
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,300
Oh, Mr Simms,

109
00:08:39,500 --> 00:08:42,000
would it be possible to put a door
between these rooms

110
00:08:42,035 --> 00:08:42,800
in that wall?

111
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:44,700
Don't see why not.

112
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,900
Now, there's this for the hall.

113
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,300
- What do you think?
- Gosh...

114
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,900
But is it too fussy? I hate fussy.

115
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,500
- Or there's this one.
- Looks... fine to me.

116
00:09:01,300 --> 00:09:02,400
Really?

117
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,200
Or are you just saying that?

118
00:09:04,700 --> 00:09:06,300
Well, I'm blowed.

119
00:09:07,300 --> 00:09:09,300
There's a door here already.

120
00:09:09,700 --> 00:09:11,300
It's been boarded over.

121
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,200
You must be psychic.

122
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,800
It's silly, your staying in a hotel tonight,
isn't it?

123
00:09:23,700 --> 00:09:25,800
You could get yourself a camp bed
and some blankets.

124
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,400
I'm quite happy in the hotel.

125
00:09:28,900 --> 00:09:30,300
But if you're feeling nervous...

126
00:09:30,500 --> 00:09:33,000
No. It would just be more convenient,
that's all.

127
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,900
Do you need to telephone a wife
or...someone like that?

128
00:09:36,935 --> 00:09:38,900
Oh, no-one like that.

129
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:30,800
It's only the breeze!

130
00:11:31,100 --> 00:11:32,800
The... The window was open.

131
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,500
Then please close it.

132
00:11:43,300 --> 00:11:44,300
Can't you sleep?

133
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,000
I thought I'd telephone Charles.

134
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,000
I could make you some cocoa.

135
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,700
No. Charles.

136
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,900
Well...not too sweet.

137
00:12:17,300 --> 00:12:19,900
I got that nursery cupboard open for you.

138
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,065
You can see the old wallpaper.

139
00:12:22,100 --> 00:12:25,300
Much more cheerful and pretty,
it must have been, that room.

140
00:12:25,900 --> 00:12:28,200
Poppies and cornflowers.

141
00:12:31,100 --> 00:12:34,400
Popples and cornflowers.
Popples and cornflowers.

142
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:11,700
Miss Halliday!

143
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,400
Are you all right, Miss Halliday?

144
00:13:24,300 --> 00:13:25,900
Thank you, Mr Hornbeam.

145
00:13:29,300 --> 00:13:32,900
Gwennie! No, I'm sure
you didn't imagine it, darling.

146
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,600
I can't. Not just like that.

147
00:13:36,100 --> 00:13:38,800
I still don't know exactly when
I'll be able to join you.

148
00:13:39,500 --> 00:13:42,900
I need you too, but...
Put Hornbeam on, will you?

149
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,400
Yes, sir, but it's hardly a police matter.

150
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,600
What sort of investigator?

151
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,000
Just someone who'll take her seriously,
or pretend to,

152
00:13:57,035 --> 00:13:59,500
and for God's sake, try and cheer her up!

153
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:05,900
Let's go to the theatre.

154
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,100
Rookery Nook's on
and I love a rollicking farce,

155
00:14:09,135 --> 00:14:10,200
I don't know about you.

156
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:15,000
Ah, yes, Operator.
St Mary Mead 235, please.

157
00:14:22,500 --> 00:14:24,800
What exactly does she do?

158
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,100
Solves things.

159
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,865
The Duchess of Malfi?

160
00:14:34,900 --> 00:14:36,500
It doesn't sound like a farce.

161
00:14:37,100 --> 00:14:38,500
I must have got the wrong week.

162
00:14:39,500 --> 00:14:40,700
Oh, well, we're here now.

163
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,600
Oh, Hugh.

164
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,400
Oh! Are you well?

165
00:14:56,900 --> 00:14:57,700
Is that her?

166
00:14:57,735 --> 00:14:58,900
Yes.

167
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,600
How very nice to meet you, Miss Halliday.

168
00:15:02,900 --> 00:15:03,700
Hello.

169
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,100
l'm Jane Marple.

170
00:15:07,500 --> 00:15:10,200
Pull. And pull strongly.

171
00:15:10,500 --> 00:15:14,900
For your able strength
must pull down heaven upon me.

172
00:15:15,100 --> 00:15:16,100
But stay.

173
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,000
Heaven's gates are not
so highly arched as prince's palaces.

174
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,300
They that enter
there must go upon their knees.

175
00:15:27,300 --> 00:15:29,800
Come, vloient death.

176
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,100
Serve for mandragora to make me sleep.

177
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,800
Go tell my brothers when I am laid out

178
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,200
they then may feed in quiet.

179
00:15:52,100 --> 00:15:53,000
Helen!

180
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,400
I saw her again, being strangled.

181
00:15:58,600 --> 00:15:59,400
Who?

182
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,000
- Helen.
- Who's Helen?

183
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,100
Miss Halliday, who's Helen?

184
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,600
Strangling is a very quiet death.

185
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,000
She was no older than 30, I'd say.

186
00:16:20,900 --> 00:16:22,300
What do you remember?

187
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:24,300
Helen.

188
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,565
Whoever she is or was.

189
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,900
I couldn't see who was strangling her.

190
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,500
I wonder...what her furniture was like.

191
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:35,600
Furniture?

192
00:16:37,900 --> 00:16:39,300
Here in the hall.

193
00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:44,700
There was a coat stand... and a side table.

194
00:16:44,735 --> 00:16:47,300
A coat stand? Was there a coat?

195
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,200
Or a hat?

196
00:16:50,100 --> 00:16:52,600
A woman's hat. Pre-war style.

197
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,800
May I know your age, Miss Halliday?

198
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,500
Twenty-one.

199
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,900
I think you saw a memory
from when you were a child

200
00:17:03,935 --> 00:17:06,400
who looked through banisters,
not over them,

201
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,900
and whose nursery wallpaper
was poppies and cornflowers.

202
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,900
A child who saw a murder in this very house.

203
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,465
I've never been in this house before.

204
00:17:20,500 --> 00:17:22,700
I've never set foot in England before now.

205
00:17:23,700 --> 00:17:24,800
There is that.

206
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,200
Are you quite sure?

207
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:28,865
Of course I'm sure.

208
00:17:28,900 --> 00:17:30,300
Breakfast's getting cold.

209
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,500
Your scrambled eggs are like rubber.

210
00:17:32,535 --> 00:17:34,700
I have advertised for someone.

211
00:17:35,300 --> 00:17:36,400
I didn't really train to be a...

212
00:17:36,435 --> 00:17:37,865
Do go on, Miss Halliday.

213
00:17:37,900 --> 00:17:40,600
This is the first time
I have been outside of India.

214
00:17:41,300 --> 00:17:43,500
My father, Kelvin, was a diplomat there.

215
00:17:43,900 --> 00:17:46,150
My mother died in an accident
when I was a baby

216
00:17:46,185 --> 00:17:48,400
and Daddy two years later
of a heart attack.

217
00:17:48,700 --> 00:17:50,265
I do just about remember him

218
00:17:50,300 --> 00:17:52,100
but it was his sister who brought me up.

219
00:17:52,135 --> 00:17:54,400
If it was a... a haunting,

220
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,700
we could find out who owned this house,
from the solicitors.

221
00:18:00,500 --> 00:18:01,700
Well, it's a start.

222
00:18:02,100 --> 00:18:04,300
Will you come and see Mr Fane with us,
Miss Marple?

223
00:18:04,700 --> 00:18:06,500
You could give me a lift into the town.

224
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,700
But what I really need is some wool.

225
00:18:20,900 --> 00:18:23,900
Dillmouth's changed so much
since I was last here.

226
00:18:23,935 --> 00:18:25,100
When was that?

227
00:18:25,300 --> 00:18:27,700
Oh, it must be 18 years ago.

228
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,300
Do you want the extra two ounces,
be on the safe side?

229
00:18:30,335 --> 00:18:31,200
Yes, please.

230
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,300
I stayed with friends
on the Leahampton Road.

231
00:18:34,335 --> 00:18:36,400
Hillside, their house was called.

232
00:18:36,435 --> 00:18:37,700
Oh, I know Hillside.

233
00:18:37,900 --> 00:18:39,700
Very well-run household.

234
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,300
Such obliging girls in service, they had.

235
00:18:43,300 --> 00:18:46,300
Now...what were their names?

236
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:49,600
Mr Fane's out.

237
00:18:49,900 --> 00:18:51,200
When will he be back?

238
00:18:58,300 --> 00:19:01,700
All we want is a glance at the Hillside file.

239
00:19:01,900 --> 00:19:03,300
I'm meant to be tidying up.

240
00:19:03,335 --> 00:19:04,700
Oh, don't let us stop you.

241
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,300
I don't like being watched.

242
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,100
We'll close our eyes.

243
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,000
Look, we don't have time
to wait for Mr Fane.

244
00:19:13,035 --> 00:19:15,600
I think it was in that filing cabinet there.

245
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,065
Where should I look?

246
00:19:19,100 --> 00:19:21,000
Let's try H for Hillside, shall we?

247
00:19:24,300 --> 00:19:26,300
I really don't think it's a good idea, sir.

248
00:19:27,100 --> 00:19:28,700
Mr Fane will be back soon.

249
00:19:29,100 --> 00:19:31,200
Oh, it won't take a moment, George.

250
00:19:31,300 --> 00:19:35,500
E...F...G...H. Ah, here we are.

251
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,300
It changed hands in 1934
and was bought by...

252
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:43,800
What?

253
00:19:46,100 --> 00:19:48,000
It was bought by Kelvin Halliday.

254
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,900
Is that your idea of a joke,
Mr Hornbeam?

255
00:19:51,935 --> 00:19:52,800
No.

256
00:19:57,500 --> 00:20:00,100
- Mr Fane.
- Mr Hornbeam.

257
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,100
I had to run out. Mother's library books.

258
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:06,200
Problem?

259
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,500
No, Mr Fane. Thank you.

260
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,000
We were just coming to meet you.

261
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,700
This is um...Mrs Pagett.

262
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:32,200
Cook-housekeeper at Hillside in 1934.

263
00:20:32,500 --> 00:20:36,500
Darling Gwynnie! After all these years!

264
00:20:36,700 --> 00:20:38,800
You won't remember me, of course.

265
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,200
You were such a lovely little girl.

266
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,565
When Lily's about her other duties,

267
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,300
I'd expect you to help with my daughter.

268
00:20:49,700 --> 00:20:51,465
Poor little motherless mite.

269
00:20:51,500 --> 00:20:54,700
At least you're bringing her up
in good old England, sir.

270
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,500
And you're still young.

271
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,900
Very handsome man, your father.

272
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,400
And it didn't take him long
to find a young lady.

273
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,000
Is this a refrigerator?

274
00:21:12,700 --> 00:21:13,800
Yes.

275
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,400
So could you start tomorrow?

276
00:21:16,435 --> 00:21:17,900
All right, then.

277
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,600
I'll look after you.

278
00:21:21,100 --> 00:21:22,100
What young lady?

279
00:21:23,300 --> 00:21:25,400
I say "lady"...

280
00:21:25,500 --> 00:21:27,900
Helen were her name.

281
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:29,965
Helen?

282
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,700
Helen Marsden.
Him a gent, her a theatrical.

283

00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,600
I'm so thrilled to see you again.

331
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,100
Why was I sent back to India alone?

332
00:24:57,300 --> 00:25:00,100
Oh, Gwenda, where to start...

333
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,400
Your mother and I were very close.

334
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:05,565
Your grandparents died young

335
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,565
and I more or less brought Clare up.

336
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,600
When she came of age,
she took off to India to be governess,

337
00:25:12,100 --> 00:25:14,100
and met your father, married and had you.

338
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,600
And then he wrote...
informing me of her death.

339
00:25:22,300 --> 00:25:25,200
Her car had gone off the bridge
at the Chamber Valley Gorge.

340
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,900
The following year, he wrote again,
from Dillmouth.

341
00:25:29,300 --> 00:25:32,565
He'd moved here with you
and got engaged.

342
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,900
Rather too soon after Clare's death,
to my mind

343
00:25:34,935 --> 00:25:36,300
and to an entertainer.

344
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,500
But I accepted invitation to come down
and meet them both.

345
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,400
This is James Kennedy.

346
00:25:43,100 --> 00:25:44,500
James.

347
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:45,500
Helen.

348
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,200
- Kelvin speaks so lovingly of your sister.
- Dear Clare.

349
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,900
If I can make him as happy as she did.

350
00:25:53,500 --> 00:25:55,200
We got on like a house on fire.

351
00:25:56,100 --> 00:25:58,600
I'd been looking for somewhere to set up
in general practice

352
00:25:58,635 --> 00:26:01,317
Dillmouth fitted the bill,
so I moved here.

353
00:26:01,352 --> 00:26:04,000
- You weren't always a psychiatrist?
- No.

354
00:26:04,900 --> 00:26:08,200
I eventually realised
it was the mind that fascinated me,

355
00:26:08,235 --> 00:26:09,800
and not the body, and since the war...

356
00:26:09,835 --> 00:26:12,300
Mm. The mental wounds.

357
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,000
What some of our chaps went through.

358
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,100
After a few weeks, we became firm friends.

359
00:26:19,100 --> 00:26:21,500
- Cheers.
- Kelvin asked me to be his best man.

360
00:26:21,535 --> 00:26:22,800
Here she comes.

361
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,500
They'd be married in the morning.
There was a little party.

362
00:26:26,300 --> 00:26:28,100
But there would never be a wedding.

363
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:29,465
Don't be late tomorrow

364
00:26:29,500 --> 00:26:31,400
or you'll never make an honest man of me.

365
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,165
Kelvin went home to Hillside

366
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,300
and I came here and fell asleep with a book.

367
00:26:36,100 --> 00:26:40,100
Then, around dawn,
Kelvin telephoned in a terrible state.

368
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:42,400
He'd got up in the middle of the night

369
00:26:43,300 --> 00:26:46,900
and noticed Helen's suitcase
and her clothes had vanished.

370
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,400
She wasn't at the digs
where they were all staying.

371
00:26:49,435 --> 00:26:50,800
Nobody knew where she'd got to.

372
00:26:52,500 --> 00:26:54,900
We waited and waited outside the town hall.

373
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:57,500
But she never came.

374
00:27:01,900 --> 00:27:03,600
Kelvin was devastated.

375
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,600
He took to walking for hours every day
up on the cliffs,

376
00:27:07,900 --> 00:27:10,100
trying to find some sort of answer
for himself.

377
00:27:11,900 --> 00:27:14,000
And then she sent him a postcard
from London.

378
00:27:14,900 --> 00:27:16,565
No address, no explanation.

379
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,600
It just said she was happy
and not to look for her.

380
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,700
The police found it at Hillside after...

381
00:27:26,700 --> 00:27:28,100
.. after they'd discovered his body

382
00:27:28,135 --> 00:27:29,600
at the foot of the cliffs.

383
00:27:31,900 --> 00:27:33,000
I'm so sorry, Gwenda.

384
00:27:35,300 --> 00:27:37,100
You were sent back to your aunt in India.

385
00:27:38,300 --> 00:27:39,965
And we agreed
you need never be burdened

386
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,500
with the true circumstances
of your father's death.

387
00:27:44,900 --> 00:27:46,000
Do you um...

388
00:27:46,500 --> 00:27:51,000
have a photograph of Helen,
by any chance?

389
00:27:51,035 --> 00:27:52,700
Yes. Yes.

390
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,600
- It's her.
- I don't understand.

391
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:20,800
I saw her strangled.

392
00:28:23,300 --> 00:28:24,700
It's in here somewhere.

393
00:28:25,100 --> 00:28:27,800
I remember
that dreadful day it came, miss.

394
00:28:28,100 --> 00:28:30,565
Here. I should have torn it up,

395
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,100
just like she tore his poor heart in two.

396
00:28:34,100 --> 00:28:36,000
Didn't deserve that, the dear man.

397
00:28:36,900 --> 00:28:38,800
"I'm sorry, Kelvin, darling.

398
00:28:39,700 --> 00:28:41,500
Please don't ever try to find me.

399
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,300
I'm happy now. Helen. "

400
00:29:04,500 --> 00:29:06,600
- Here, let me.
- No!

401
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:11,900
I'm sorry, Hugh.

402
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,700
1896-1934

403
00:29:43,700 --> 00:29:45,600
- It's me.
- Come in.

404
00:29:48,300 --> 00:29:49,600
How's Mr Hornbeam?

405
00:29:50,300 --> 00:29:51,500
Asleep.

406
00:29:59,300 --> 00:30:01,100
It's all I have of my mother's.

407
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,200
Lovely.

408
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,000
I promised myself I wouldn't wear it
until my wedding day.

409
00:30:08,500 --> 00:30:09,900
Must be tempting.

410
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,300
I shouldn't really care about her,
should I?

411
00:30:16,100 --> 00:30:17,500
But she was murdered.

412
00:30:18,100 --> 00:30:20,800
I don't care about the postcard.
Postcards can be forged.

413
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,300
They certainly can be.

414
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:26,600
But...

415
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,300
.. it was a long time ago.

416
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,300
Do you really want to rake up the past?

417
00:30:35,300 --> 00:30:37,500
Who knows what else we may find?

418
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,000
- Good morning.
- Good morning.

419
00:31:03,500 --> 00:31:06,900
Did the seagulls wake you up, too?
Don't they squabble!

420
00:31:07,500 --> 00:31:09,265
I slept like a lamb.

421
00:31:09,300 --> 00:31:12,150
Oh, and Charles telephoned.
He'll be arriving on the 17th,

422
00:31:12,185 --> 00:31:15,000
so get on with the wedding arrangements
as we discussed.

423
00:31:15,300 --> 00:31:17,100
What did he make of your discovery?

424
00:31:17,700 --> 00:31:19,000
He has enough on his plate.

425
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,700
The weather is beautiful.

426
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:23,500
I'll walk. I won't take the car.

427
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,800
- Where are you going?
- To my uncle's.

428
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,700
God's in his heaven and all's right
with the world.

429
00:31:34,100 --> 00:31:35,200
I don't think.

430
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,850
Did she say anything
about the possibility her father...

431
00:31:39,885 --> 00:31:43,500
Her father committed suicide because
he'd murdered Helen?

432
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,000
Not yet.

433
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:50,700
Tea?

434
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,700
Are you sure you don't prefer
a glass of fresh cold milk

435
00:31:55,735 --> 00:31:58,400
- straight from the refrigerator?
- No, thank you.

436
00:31:59,000 --> 00:31:59,900
Right you are.

437
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:02,100
Where was I?

438
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:03,500
Miss Marsden.

439
00:32:04,300 --> 00:32:06,365
We rubbed along all right

440
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,900
but he were a gentleman and she weren't,

441
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,300
if you take my meaning.

442
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,265
But she were wonderfully loving with Gwennie.

443
00:32:15,300 --> 00:32:19,300
So good with her, I'll say that,
even though she wasn't her own.

444
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,400
Class will out, though, won't it?

445
00:32:21,900 --> 00:32:25,200
She got a little bit above herself,
is my opinion.

446
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,550
Even ticked off Mr Halliday for

447
00:32:27,585 --> 00:32:29,465
putting the engagement announcement

448
00:32:29,500 --> 00:32:32,300
in The Times rather than
the Dillmouth Messenger.

449
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,465
He read it out so proud.

450
00:32:35,500 --> 00:32:38,100
And she said he'd gone all stuffy and stuck-up.

451
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:39,900
Was she here a great deal?

452
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,700
Most days and...

453
00:32:42,100 --> 00:32:43,900
Well, I don't suppose it matters now.

454
00:32:43,935 --> 00:32:46,200
quite often, nights too.

455
00:32:46,700 --> 00:32:48,700
I were a bit disappointed in him for that.

456
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,700
There are standards, engaged or not.

457
00:32:52,100 --> 00:32:54,400
No surprise to me when she ran off.

458
00:32:55,100 --> 00:32:57,500
I heard them rowing that night.

459
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,100
She was supposed to be at her digs.
She turned up here.

460
00:33:02,500 --> 00:33:05,200
Darling, calm down!
I'm not going to see him.

461
00:33:05,235 --> 00:33:08,017
Well, I am! I can't just stand by and...

462
00:33:08,052 --> 00:33:10,800
Please, sir! Madam, you'll wake Gwennie!

463
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,165
Darling!

464
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:17,000
Next thing I knew were all that kerfuffle
in the early hours

465
00:33:17,300 --> 00:33:20,200
- when he found she'd done a bunk.
- Helen! Helen?

466
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,065
She's nowhere, sir!

467
00:33:24,100 --> 00:33:25,690
Perhaps she's been kidnapped.

468
00:33:25,725 --> 00:33:28,528
- Lily!
- Stranger things have happened.

469
00:33:28,563 --> 00:33:30,700
Lily just wouldn't let it lie.

470
00:33:32,700 --> 00:33:35,500
What did Lily really think
had happened to her?

471
00:33:35,700 --> 00:33:36,800
That girl?

472
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,100
Reckoned Mr Halliday had done her in

473
00:33:39,135 --> 00:33:40,500
and buried her in the garden.

474
00:33:41,100 --> 00:33:44,000
Too much Boris Karloff
down the picture house.

475
00:33:44,100 --> 00:33:47,700
Said she'd seen something"Very odd indeed, Mrs P'".

476
00:33:48,100 --> 00:33:48,965
What?

477
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,300
Who cares? I didn't want to hear
her nonsense. Silly mare!

478
00:33:53,300 --> 00:33:56,700
Do you...know where Lily is now?

479
00:33:57,700 --> 00:33:58,900
Sorry.

480
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,200
Dreams can mislead as well as inform.

481
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:06,865
Your father, your mother and Helen

482
00:34:06,900 --> 00:34:09,700
have been whizzing around
your consciousness like dodgem car

483
00:34:09,735 --> 00:34:11,865
bumping into each other, creating sparks.

484
00:34:11,900 --> 00:34:16,100
But a spark, however vivid,
is not enough to see clearly by.

485
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,100
So you don't think my father
murdered two women?

486
00:34:19,700 --> 00:34:22,165
Well, anything's possible

487
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:26,200
but Clare died
when her car went off the bridge.

488
00:34:26,700 --> 00:34:28,600
And you've seen Helen's postcard.

489
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,065
But I recognised Helen
from the photograph.

490
00:34:31,100 --> 00:34:34,100
- It was her I saw strangled.
- Bump - sparks again.

491
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,265
I'm not saying you didn't see what you saw,

492
00:34:37,300 --> 00:34:42,000
but perhaps Helen's been
what we call projected onto memory.

493
00:34:42,700 --> 00:34:44,500
Before we jump to conclusions
about your father,

494
00:34:44,535 --> 00:34:46,300
we need some solid facts, don't we?

495
00:34:47,700 --> 00:34:48,700
Yes.

496
00:34:53,100 --> 00:34:55,500
- Will you have one?
- Oh, no, thank you.

497
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,200
it's lovely here.

498
00:34:59,235 --> 00:35:00,400
My favourite place.

499
00:35:00,900 --> 00:35:02,200
Good for thinking.

500
00:35:05,300 --> 00:35:06,800
You will come to the wedding, won't you?

501
00:35:07,300 --> 00:35:08,600
You try and stop me.

502
00:35:11,900 --> 00:35:14,700
The truth is, I'm a little scared.

503
00:35:16,300 --> 00:35:18,300
Charles is so worldly and...

504
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,500
I just pretend to be, for him.

505
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,600
- Of course, he's...
- So much older.

506
00:35:24,100 --> 00:35:25,000
Yes.

507
00:35:26,100 --> 00:35:29,000
Well, perhaps that's why you fell for him.

508
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,850
It's a Peace rose, isn't it, Chief Inspector?

509
00:35:39,885 --> 00:35:42,700
Can't have greenfly disturbing the Peace.

510
00:35:42,735 --> 00:35:45,500
Serious offence. Hit them hard -

511
00:35:46,100 --> 00:35:47,900
the only language they understand.

512
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:53,200
I remember it.
She skedaddled before the wedding.

513
00:35:53,235 --> 00:35:54,900
So he jumped off Lover's Leap.

514
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,900
You never had cause
to doubt that version of events?

515
00:35:58,935 --> 00:36:00,300
No. Open and shut.

516
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,800
Nothing...odd?

517
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,600
Unless you count Gunga Din.

518
00:36:08,100 --> 00:36:10,000
The night Helen Marsden ran off,

519
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:11,465
there was an Indian gentleman seen

520
00:36:11,500 --> 00:36:14,000
near the floral clock, at about ten past one.

521
00:36:14,035 --> 00:36:15,200
You do mean...

522
00:36:15,300 --> 00:36:18,300
Actual time. Not where
the nasturtiums are planted.

523
00:36:19,700 --> 00:36:21,200
- What was he doing?
- Nothing.

524
00:36:22,500 --> 00:36:24,500
Heads turn now if an Indian's seen

525
00:36:24,535 --> 00:36:25,700
walking along Dillmouth Prom.

526
00:36:26,300 --> 00:36:29,300
Back then, Mrs Fane thought she'd be
murdered in her bed.

527
00:36:29,900 --> 00:36:31,000
Mrs Fane?

528
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,100
Any relation to Walter, the solicitor?

529
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:35,000
His mother.

530
00:36:35,500 --> 00:36:37,200
She reported it the next day.

531
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,000
Funny old stick.

532
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,500
I think she keeps him
on a bit of a tight leash.

533
00:36:43,500 --> 00:36:45,165
Now, if you'll excuse me,

534
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,500
I retire on Friday and I've got
a speech to write.

535
00:37:00,300 --> 00:37:02,300
Of course, she was a nymphomaniac.

536
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,000
If you're familiar with the term,
Miss Marple.

537
00:37:06,900 --> 00:37:08,300
She almost nabbed Walter.

538
00:37:08,500 --> 00:37:10,200
Did she really, Mrs Fane?

539
00:37:12,500 --> 00:37:13,765
They were inseparable

540
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,800
until she got her hooks into Kelvin Halliday.

541
00:37:17,500 --> 00:37:19,165
She invited Walter to thelr wedding.

542
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,200
He almost wasn't there because he overslept.

543
00:37:22,900 --> 00:37:25,200
They'd all had drinkies after the show.

544
00:37:27,100 --> 00:37:28,600
Was he very late home?

545
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:30,200
Not very. I was still up.

546
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,200
We finished a jigsaw,
then we both went to bed.

547
00:37:34,900 --> 00:37:36,800
Thankfully, all that was just a phase.

548
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,000
Walter's happiest with his mother.

549
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,700
Some men are.

550
00:37:43,700 --> 00:37:45,600
You...didn't go out again?

551
00:37:45,900 --> 00:37:48,765
Only Chief inspector Primer
said that next day

552
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,300
you'd reported an Indian gentleman
late that night...

553
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:54,900
.. lurking.

554
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:56,765
He's mistaken the date.

555
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,000
That was the night before...or after.

556
00:38:00,100 --> 00:38:02,200
They're all thieves.
Of course I reported him.

557
00:38:02,900 --> 00:38:05,700
I had the most exquisite
emerald earrings stolen

558
00:38:05,735 --> 00:38:08,100
when I lived in Delhi
with my late husband.

559
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,400
What was your relationship
with Helen Marsden?

560
00:38:19,900 --> 00:38:21,300
I loved her.

561
00:38:25,500 --> 00:38:27,400
Before she became engaged to my father?

562
00:38:30,700 --> 00:38:31,900
And afterwards.

563
00:38:34,300 --> 00:38:35,400
I don't mean erm...

564
00:38:37,300 --> 00:38:41,000
I loved Helen as a dearest friend.

565
00:38:42,300 --> 00:38:43,900
We were so very close.

566
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,200
I used to confide everything in her.

567
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:51,100
Much to the disgust of my mother-
but I didn't care.

568
00:38:53,100 --> 00:38:55,500
Helen was so understanding of

569
00:38:55,700 --> 00:38:59,900
how beguiled a shy country solicitor
was by her world.

570
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,900
She used to invite me to watch
the show from the wings.

571
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,865
It was thrilllng to feel a part of it.

572
00:39:07,900 --> 00:39:11,400
♪...raise the roof and cheer us as you hear ♪

573
00:39:11,435 --> 00:39:16,100
♪ The Funnybones say hello ♪

574
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,000
It may not have been the London Palladium,

575
00:39:24,900 --> 00:39:27,300
but it beat Thursday night Monopoly
with Mother and friends

576
00:39:27,335 --> 00:39:29,000
into a cocked hat, I can tell you.

577
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:31,700
Did she ever talk of her family?

578
00:39:34,300 --> 00:39:36,000
The Funnybones were her family.

579
00:39:37,700 --> 00:39:40,900
And on that last night,
I felt like one of the family, too.

580
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,200
Old Lionel and Dickie.

581
00:39:45,900 --> 00:39:46,800
Jackie,

582
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:48,800
Janet,

583
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:51,100
and Little Evle Ballantyne...

584
00:39:51,135 --> 00:39:51,800
Ooh, Jackie.

585
00:39:52,500 --> 00:39:53,800
.. as she was then.

586
00:39:57,500 --> 00:39:59,600
But there was a feeilng of sadness.

587
00:39:59,900 --> 00:40:02,500
We knew that Helen leaving
would change everything.

588
00:40:02,900 --> 00:40:05,800
Fellow artistes, loyal fans,

589
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,600
we've packed our greasepaint, our trunks.

590
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,700
And we go our separate ways until next year.

591
00:40:14,300 --> 00:40:16,600
Except, of course, our wonderful Helen,

592
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:18,900
who has chosen married bliss

593
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,700
ahead of a life trudging the boards.

594
00:40:22,735 --> 00:40:23,665
Bravo!

595
00:40:23,700 --> 00:40:25,800
Still, no hard feelings, Halliday.

596
00:40:25,835 --> 00:40:26,765
Thank you.

597
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,900
The toast is the Funnybones.

598
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,100
The Funnybones.

599
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,700
I went home, feeling a little sad.

600
00:40:38,300 --> 00:40:42,110
"Do not pass Go" and autumn beckoning.

601
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,400
George! Where's that tea?

602
00:40:50,700 --> 00:40:51,900
Ruddy hell.

603
00:41:00,100 --> 00:41:03,700
All our dreams. Where did they go?

604
00:41:06,300 --> 00:41:08,100
Except for Evie's, of course.

605
00:41:09,100 --> 00:41:11,800
Eve Ballantyne.
That's Ballantyne with a Y.

606
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,500
You must have heard her records
or on the wireless?

607
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:18,900
I'm not terribly up to date, I'm afraid.

608
00:41:22,100 --> 00:41:23,300
Dickie'll be down in a mo'.

609
00:41:26,700 --> 00:41:28,200
Of course, I remember that night.

610
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:30,300
End of the season.

611
00:41:31,500 --> 00:41:35,400
And as it turned out... end of the Funnybones.

612
00:41:35,435 --> 00:41:37,200
<i>* And we'll see you next year *</i>

613
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,300
<i>* Come what may *</i>

614
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:47,700
<i>* The Funnybones say goodbye *</i>

615
00:41:50,700 --> 00:41:53,300
The toast is the Funnybones.

616
00:41:53,335 --> 00:41:54,565
The Funnybones.

617
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:58,400
- The Funnybones.
- Cheers, everybody.

618
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,000
We were all in the party spirit.

619
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:03,365
Who wants first dance

620
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,500
with the smoothest smoocher
on the South Coast?

621
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,800
- Jackie Afflick...
- Janet?

622
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,100
.. was up to his usual tricks.

623
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:11,500
Not me.

624
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:13,700
I will, Jackie.

625
00:42:16,300 --> 00:42:18,900
Helen? It's your last night of freedom.

626
00:42:18,935 --> 00:42:21,500
Watch out for his paso doble, girls.

627
00:42:23,500 --> 00:42:27,300
Poor old Lionel Luff.
Died the next Christmas.

628
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,400
Demon King in panto at Worthing.

629
00:42:31,100 --> 00:42:33,300
Trap door opened too soon.

630
00:42:34,100 --> 00:42:35,300
Southsea.

631
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:37,300
He broke his neck.

632
00:42:38,500 --> 00:42:41,600
This is little Gwenda, Dickie.

633
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:43,865
Kelvin Halllday's girl.

634
00:42:43,900 --> 00:42:47,400
- And Mr Horn.
- Beam. Hornbeam.

635
00:42:47,435 --> 00:42:48,500
Pleased to meet you.

636
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,300
You said it was the end
of the Funnybones, Mrs Erskine.

637
00:42:56,700 --> 00:42:58,265
Well, by the next summer,

638
00:42:58,300 --> 00:43:00,565
things had changed for us,
hadn't they, dear?

639
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:05,100
And on that last night,
I had some news...for him.

640
00:43:09,300 --> 00:43:10,200
Dickie.

641
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,500
- Dickie, I...
- What?

642
00:43:15,500 --> 00:43:17,300
I... I'm pregnant, dear.

643
00:43:19,500 --> 00:43:22,900
We couldn't run a company
and bring up a baby.

644
00:43:25,300 --> 00:43:27,200
This is our George.

645
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:28,800
He's 18 now.

646
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:32,465
Your George?

647
00:43:32,500 --> 00:43:35,200
We met him through Mr Fane
when I bought Hillside.

648
00:43:35,900 --> 00:43:37,000
Charming lad.

649
00:43:37,500 --> 00:43:40,900
Yes. Dickie thought that Walter
would never take him on,

650
00:43:40,935 --> 00:43:44,300
but I said it was worth a try,
and he's doing jolly well.

651
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,200
Did you see my father later that night?

652
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:49,900
Yes. He was frantic.

653
00:43:50,500 --> 00:43:53,600
Some of Helen's stuff had gone missing
from Hillside,

654
00:43:53,900 --> 00:43:56,900
so he got me out of bed
that he could look in her wardrobe.

655
00:43:57,800 --> 00:43:59,700
Her wedding outfit was still there.

656
00:43:59,735 --> 00:44:00,900
He got you out of bed?

657
00:44:01,300 --> 00:44:03,900
Yes, I'd slept in Helen's room that night.

658
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,300
Because Dickie was snoring.

659
00:44:09,100 --> 00:44:11,100
First floor at the back.

660
00:44:11,300 --> 00:44:13,100
She used to share with Evie.

661
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,800
This used to be the Funnybones' digs,

662
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:17,400
when it was Mrs Finderson's.

663
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:21,800
After the war, we...had to adjust.

664
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:24,100
Medals don't pay bills.

665
00:44:24,900 --> 00:44:26,800
Dillmouth seemed like the obvious place,

666
00:44:26,835 --> 00:44:28,800
so we bought the house ourselves.

667
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:30,400
You know what I thought?

668
00:44:33,100 --> 00:44:35,500
That Helen and Jackie Afflick
had run off together.

669
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:38,400
It's not right, Jackie.

670
00:44:39,900 --> 00:44:42,100
I overheard him talking her into it.

671
00:44:42,135 --> 00:44:43,800
If you ever change your mind...

672
00:44:45,500 --> 00:44:47,600
Then, he was the only one
who wasn't there next morning.

673
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:49,500
Apart from Helen, of course.

674
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:55,400
No-one mentioned it
while we waited outside the town hall,

675
00:44:56,100 --> 00:44:57,500
but it's what we were all thinking.

676
00:44:58,300 --> 00:45:00,900
What a sorry bunch
we looked that morning.

677
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:03,600
You with your black eye.

678
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:05,800
I tripped over a stage weight.

679
00:45:31,900 --> 00:45:33,365
Hello, Miss Halliday.

680
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:34,700
.. saw a murder in this very house.

681
00:45:58,300 --> 00:45:59,400
Is it left...

682
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,700
at the top of the lane
for Dr Kennedy's, or right?

683
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,500
Miss Marple. Still sleuthing?

684
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,665
I hate an unsolved case.

685
00:46:09,700 --> 00:46:12,900
- There was no case to solve.
- Possibly not.

686
00:46:14,300 --> 00:46:15,265
Left or right?

687
00:46:15,300 --> 00:46:19,300
- Have you found out something?
- Well, yes and no.

688
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,800
It's all terribly confusing.

689
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,000
An Indian man on the promenade,

690
00:46:24,700 --> 00:46:27,100
a young bride's missing trousseau,

691
00:46:27,700 --> 00:46:30,600
a Funnybone, in the wrong bed, of course.

692
00:46:31,700 --> 00:46:36,700
And was this really sent
from Helen Marsden?

693
00:46:38,300 --> 00:46:39,700
It's left.

694
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:43,200
Thank you, Chief Inspector.

695
00:46:45,100 --> 00:46:47,200
Happy retirement.

696
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:55,300
You wouldn't have something Helen
had written from before?

697
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:57,700
Something we knew could be hunky-dory?

698
00:46:57,900 --> 00:47:00,400
When Miss Marple told me
you were probably taking the case

699
00:47:00,435 --> 00:47:01,400
I thought of this.

700
00:47:03,500 --> 00:47:05,600
But an autograph's hardly typical, is it?

701
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:07,900
No good for a comparison, no.

702
00:47:09,300 --> 00:47:11,500
- Nothing else?
- I'm afraid not.

703
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,000
This could be hunky-dory.

704
00:47:16,100 --> 00:47:21,300
"Darling James, you're the best,
best man ever. And all..."

705
00:47:21,335 --> 00:47:24,300
"..my fondest love for being
so wonderful to me.

706
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:25,800
Your very own Helen."

707
00:47:26,100 --> 00:47:27,400
I'd forgotten that. Well done.

708
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,200
- Very theatrical.
- That was her.

709
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:32,800
I was rather flattered.

710
00:47:34,300 --> 00:47:38,300
We'll um...get these off to the experts, then.

711
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:44,500
Just for the record, Doctor,
where were you that night?

712
00:47:44,535 --> 00:47:46,700
As I've told Miss Marple,
I was here, asleep.

713
00:47:47,300 --> 00:47:50,000
- Alone, I take it?
- Very much so, thank you.

714
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,900
Do you know why
she was at Hillside that night?

715
00:47:54,300 --> 00:47:56,600
- Was she?
- According to Mrs Pagett.

716
00:47:56,635 --> 00:47:58,700
Kelvin never told me that.

717
00:47:58,900 --> 00:48:00,800
I know Clare did sometimes -

718
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:02,565
I'm so sorry.

719
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:04,700
My sister's been on my mind terribly

720
00:48:04,735 --> 00:48:06,300
since Gwenda came into my life.

721
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:09,000
Helen did sometimes
spend the night with Kelvin.

722
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,600
I tried not to judge.
They were desperately in love.

723
00:48:15,500 --> 00:48:17,700
We can't rule out any possibility yet, can we?

724
00:48:18,300 --> 00:48:20,300
If it were me, I'd find that maid Lily

725
00:48:20,335 --> 00:48:21,400
and find out what she knew.

726
00:48:22,300 --> 00:48:24,000
I placed an advertisement
for her yesterday.

727
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,200
- Have you?
- Yes.

728
00:48:27,700 --> 00:48:30,100
Oh! Good.

729
00:48:33,300 --> 00:48:35,400
Do you think Erskine was right
about Jackie Afflick?

730
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:37,000
Let's find out.

731
00:48:42,300 --> 00:48:43,700
He's done well for himself.

732
00:48:46,900 --> 00:48:49,500
That was my Dot. Dorothy.

733
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:52,700
Her first husband was Dougall's Biscuits.

734
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:57,300
I met her in Nice,
when she was a very merry widow.

735
00:48:57,700 --> 00:48:59,300
And...Bob's your uncle.

736
00:49:00,500 --> 00:49:01,700
God rest her soul.

737
00:49:06,900 --> 00:49:08,400
I haven't had my vitamins today.

738
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:12,900
- Nice?
- Yeah.

739
00:49:13,100 --> 00:49:15,100
I ran a little bar down there for a while.

740
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:17,700
Well, until I met Dot.

741
00:49:19,300 --> 00:49:22,100
See, I set up in France
when I left the Funnybones.

742
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:24,200
That must have cost a bit.

743
00:49:25,300 --> 00:49:26,400
Thrifty, me.

744
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:32,100
Why weren't you at registry office
with other Funnybones?

745
00:49:32,135 --> 00:49:33,100
Were you not invited?

746
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:35,500
I'd had enough of Dillmouth, that's all.

747
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:37,500
Course I was invited.

748
00:49:38,500 --> 00:49:40,000
I was there when they first met.

749
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:46,665

750

Sorry.

757
00:50:08,900 --> 00:50:11,100
It was my late wife's favourite song.

758
00:50:11,135 --> 00:50:13,300
- She had taste.
- Look, do you mind?

You were asking me about the last night.

770
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:14,100
Mr Erskine said he had an argument
with a stage weight

771
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:15,300
got a black eye.

772
00:51:16,100 --> 00:51:16,800
Did he?

773
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:18,700
Did he really!

774
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:23,100
It was my fist.

775
00:51:23,900 --> 00:51:25,400
You see, Erskine and me,

776
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:27,700
we never really hit it off.

777
00:51:28,300 --> 00:51:30,100
And things came to a head on our last night.

778
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:31,465
Who wants first dance

779
00:51:31,500 --> 00:51:34,000
with the smoothest smoocher
on the South Coast?

780
00:51:35,100 --> 00:51:36,000
Janet?

781
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:39,300
He knew his missus were playing
hard to get with yours truly

782
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:43,200
- Not me.
- I will, Jackie.

783
00:51:45,900 --> 00:51:48,500
Helen? It's your last night of freedom.

784
00:51:48,900 --> 00:51:52,000
To be honest,
I thought if I played my cards right...

785
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:55,500
Enough's enough now, ladies.
I'm cutting in.

786
00:51:55,535 --> 00:51:56,600
They're round here!

787
00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:58,200
But she wouldn't play ball.

788
00:51:58,700 --> 00:51:59,500
Where are you going?

789
00:52:00,500 --> 00:52:01,965
What about me, Jackie? Won't I do?

790
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:05,000
It's such a lovely song. Please, Jackie.

791
00:52:05,035 --> 00:52:05,765
Just get off me.

792
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:07,300
He said something, and she was gone.

793
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:09,200
See you in the morning.

794
00:52:09,700 --> 00:52:10,565
Jackie, please.

795
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:12,900
I've got enough bad habits
and so have you! Now get off!

796
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:16,100
Evle had been after me all season.

797
00:52:17,700 --> 00:52:18,865
Sad, really.

798
00:52:18,900 --> 00:52:21,400
- Afflick, you are a bastard!
- And then...

799
00:52:23,700 --> 00:52:24,900
Why did he attack you?

800
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,900
Search me. I didn't hang around to ask.

801
00:52:28,500 --> 00:52:30,500
I left him on the floor,
went back to the digs.

802
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,000
Got stuck into a bottle of malt
with Lionel Luff.

803
00:52:34,300 --> 00:52:36,000
Long gone now, of course, old Lionel.

804
00:52:38,900 --> 00:52:41,500
Can you think of any reasons
for Helen's disappearance?

805
00:52:45,900 --> 00:52:47,300
Maybe she was murdered.

806
00:52:50,100 --> 00:52:51,200
Have you thought of that?

807
00:52:51,900 --> 00:52:55,300
- As it happens, Mr Afflick...
- No! No, we haven't.

808
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:57,100
Well, go on.

809
00:52:57,800 --> 00:52:59,000
Well, if you ask me,

810
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:01,000
Erskine bumped Helen off.

811
00:53:02,500 --> 00:53:03,465
Why?

812
00:53:03,500 --> 00:53:05,600
Because the Funnybones were his life.

813
00:53:06,100 --> 00:53:09,300
We've packed our greasepaint,
our trunks...

814
00:53:09,335 --> 00:53:10,700
He knew she was our biggest draw.

815
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:14,400
He reckoned her marrying
was gonna break us all up.

816
00:53:14,435 --> 00:53:16,500
.. except, of course, our wonderful Helen,

817
00:53:16,900 --> 00:53:18,700
who has chosen married bliss...

818
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:22,900
.. ahead of a life trudging the boards.

819
00:53:23,100 --> 00:53:24,400
- Bravo!
- Still,

820
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:26,865
no hard feelings, Halliday.

821
00:53:26,900 --> 00:53:28,500
I'll tell you somethlng else, as well.

822
00:53:29,100 --> 00:53:31,000
He had a wife before Janet.

823
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:33,000
And she disappeared.

824
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:35,300
What do you know about her?

825
00:53:35,500 --> 00:53:37,100
Only that she couldn't have kids.

826
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:39,100
Yeah, he told me once. He said er...

827
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:41,100
that set 'em against each other.

828
00:53:42,300 --> 00:53:45,300
Anyway, bright and early the next morning,

829
00:53:45,900 --> 00:53:48,100
I get on the milk train out of Dillmouth...

830
00:53:50,300 --> 00:53:51,400
I've never looked back.

831
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:56,465
How interesting!

832
00:53:56,500 --> 00:53:59,500
Helen would turn her back
on Jackie Afflick

833
00:53:59,535 --> 00:54:00,665
and a glitterlng career

834
00:54:00,700 --> 00:54:03,700
to settle down
in a rather conventional marriage.

835
00:54:04,300 --> 00:54:07,400
And...to a man with a child.

836
00:54:07,500 --> 00:54:08,765
Jolly romantic, though.

837
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:10,765
Romantic? She was a gold-digger.

838
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,800
The very same song that meant so much
to your mother, it...

839
00:54:14,900 --> 00:54:16,500
.. it's a lovely story.

840
00:54:16,535 --> 00:54:17,300
Yes.

841
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:19,365
Gwenda,

842
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:21,400
Mr Vanstone is so well connected,

843
00:54:21,435 --> 00:54:23,365
do you think the Delhi police

844
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:26,300
would let him see the file
on your mother's accident?

845
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:27,365
My mother?

846
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:29,600
I think your mother's death
may be significant.

847
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:36,100
You think my father's a madman
who murdered my mother

848
00:54:36,135 --> 00:54:37,600
and then came to England
and murdered Helen?

849
00:54:39,100 --> 00:54:41,400
Where did you find this woman,
Mr Hornbeam?

850
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:43,700
Wherever it was, you can send her back.

851
00:54:46,300 --> 00:54:47,700
I am so sorry.

852
00:54:48,100 --> 00:54:49,400
She'll calm down.

853
00:54:51,100 --> 00:54:54,100
If her mother's accident was really murder...

854
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:57,500
...you must think it was her father.

855
00:54:58,300 --> 00:55:01,800
Unless you're suggesting Dr Kennedy
killed his own sister.

856
00:55:01,835 --> 00:55:02,900
Dr Kennedy?

857
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:07,200
I'm sure he was never in India.

858
00:55:09,300 --> 00:55:11,100
But perhaps...

859
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:14,600
one of the Funnybones was.

860
00:55:15,100 --> 00:55:17,300
That was just plain bloody rude, Gwenda!

861
00:55:17,335 --> 00:55:18,365
"Miss Halliday" to you.

862
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:19,847
I'm very fond of you, Gwenda

863
00:55:19,882 --> 00:55:21,765
but my fondness is being solid tested.

864
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:23,500
- Then don't be fond!
- I can't help it!

865
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:28,800
Can't you, Hugh?

866
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:47,900
So, um... George was eleven
when you came back to Dillmouth?

867
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:51,100
Just the age when a boy needs
a father's influence.

868
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:54,500
Well, he's lucky that he's come back
from the fighting.

869
00:55:54,535 --> 00:55:55,700
So many didn't.

870
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:59,300
Dickie wanted to try a new life in India.

871
00:56:00,300 --> 00:56:03,100
He'd worked there before
we were married, but I said no.

872
00:56:03,500 --> 00:56:05,100
Dillmouth has everything we need.

873
00:56:06,500 --> 00:56:07,700
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

874
00:56:07,735 --> 00:56:08,800
Goodbye.

875
00:56:12,100 --> 00:56:13,765
"Hillside, Dillmouth.

876
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:16,600
"Information sought regarding Lily Kimble.

877
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:20,100
"Housemaid at the above address in 1934.

878
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:22,600
"Telephone Dillmouth 8123."

879
00:56:23,100 --> 00:56:25,600
- Could be money in it.
- Nah!

880
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:27,200
Stranger things have happened.

881
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:31,300
It could be a shedload of trouble.
You and your daft notions.

882
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,000
And feed them chickens.

883
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:44,000
"Dear Dr Kennedy,

884
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:46,065
please can you give me advice,

885
00:56:46,100 --> 00:56:48,400
because you are a professional gentleman... "

886
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:51,800
"..what to do about enclosed,
what was in the paper.

887
00:56:52,300 --> 00:56:55,200
After all this time,
I don't know what's for the best.

888
00:56:55,300 --> 00:56:59,100
If you can advise,
I will visit tomorrow morning and oblige.

889
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:03,300
Yours respectfully,
Lily Tutt - as was Lily Kimble,

890
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:05,200
housemaid at Hillside."

891
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:07,600
At last we could be getting somewhere.

892
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:17,100
Ah, yes, Mr Vanstone.

893
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:21,200
No, I can't speak louder, I'm afraid,
in case she hears.

894
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:22,900
What have you found out?

895
00:57:23,300 --> 00:57:25,865
Clare Halliday's death in 1933

896
00:57:25,900 --> 00:57:28,300
was never regarded
as anything but an accident,

897
00:57:28,900 --> 00:57:31,065
though the traffic division released the file to

898
00:57:31,100 --> 00:57:34,600
inspector Chopra of the criminal police
some months later.

899
00:57:35,300 --> 00:57:38,100
Hornbeam,
is this secrecy strictly necessary?

900
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:40,900
Believe me, sir,
it could make all the difference to...

901
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:43,400
to your future happiness.

902
00:57:44,300 --> 00:57:46,300
Could you find this inspector Chopra?

903
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:48,900
And I'll be wiring something
very important through tomorrow

904
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:51,100
Thank you!

905
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:54,900
The Palladium,
confirming Eve Ballantyne with a Y

906
00:57:54,935 --> 00:57:56,700
will see us after the show.

907
00:57:57,700 --> 00:57:59,100
Do this up for me, will you?

908
00:57:59,300 --> 00:58:01,300
I'm giving it an outing before the big day.

909
00:58:02,900 --> 00:58:05,100
My whole flat would fit in this suite.

910
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:06,900
How do you manage?

911
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:09,100
If I feel cramped,
there's Kensington Gardens.

912
00:58:09,500 --> 00:58:11,900
Any spare time
from Vanstone International,

913
00:58:11,935 --> 00:58:13,200
I do the Geological Museum.

914
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:14,765
Rocks?

915
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:16,800
Well, if it hadn't been for the war...

916
00:58:17,500 --> 00:58:18,700
It's what I studied.

917
00:58:19,500 --> 00:58:22,700
But with my mother left alone with
two much younger brothers

918
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:26,000
.. isostatically-depressed outwash deposits

919
00:58:26,035 --> 00:58:27,300
wouldn't have put bread on the table.

920
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:30,300
Before we go back tomorrow, Hugh,

921
00:58:30,500 --> 00:58:33,400
do you think we could see
Buckingham Palace and Big Ben?

922
00:58:33,700 --> 00:58:35,500
Oh, and is Windsor Castle very far?

923
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:37,500
Well, I don't know, do I?

924
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:56,900
<i>* I'll go my way *</i>

925
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:59,500
<i>* By myself *</i>

926
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:06,500
<i>* This is the end of romance *</i>

927
00:59:07,700 --> 00:59:11,300
<i>* I'll go my way *</i>

928
00:59:11,335 --> 00:59:13,600
<i>* By myself *</i>

929
00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:21,300
<i>* Love is only a dance *</i>

930
00:59:22,100 --> 00:59:27,300
<i>* I'll face the unknown *</i>

931
00:59:29,300 --> 00:59:34,600
<i>* I'll build a world of my own *</i>

932
00:59:35,500 --> 00:59:40,600
<i>* I'm by myself, alone *</i>

933
00:59:43,500 --> 00:59:44,600
Chocolate, dear.

934
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:58,700
You're wearing Helen's necklace.

935
00:59:58,735 --> 01:00:00,465
- Helen's?
- Yes.

936
01:00:00,500 --> 01:00:03,400
I asked to borrow it once, but she wouldn't.

937
01:00:04,100 --> 01:00:06,700
- Used to be your mother's.
- I know.

938
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:10,865
Helen said she wore it to

939
01:00:10,900 --> 01:00:13,100
remember dear Clare for Kelvin's sake.

940
01:00:13,900 --> 01:00:15,200
But then, that's how they were.

941
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:17,700
This way, everyone!

942
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:20,600
Come on, everybody! Come on!

943
01:00:20,635 --> 01:00:22,600
Kelvin! What are you doing?

944
01:00:25,500 --> 01:00:27,800
Helen, darling...

945
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:31,400
.. will you marry me?

946
01:00:35,900 --> 01:00:37,400
Yes, Kelvin.

947
01:00:38,100 --> 01:00:39,800
With all my heart.

948
01:00:40,700 --> 01:00:43,900
Giving everything up for a man.
Pass the sick bag, Alice!

949
01:00:46,300 --> 01:00:47,300
I never understood it.

950
01:00:48,300 --> 01:00:49,700
She could have hit the heights, you know.

951
01:00:50,300 --> 01:00:52,700
But she wanted to be a dear little wifey,

952
01:00:52,735 --> 01:00:54,200
with a sweet little kiddie.

953
01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:57,800
Don't you miss that?

954
01:00:58,500 --> 01:01:00,500
No, cutie-pie.

955
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:03,500
- The last night in Dillmouth...
- Oh, Dillmouth!

956
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:05,000
What a dump!

957
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:07,750
I wonder
how Dickie Erskine is these days.

958
01:01:07,785 --> 01:01:09,665
One of my solo spots seems
to be working.

959
01:01:09,700 --> 01:01:13,300
Obviously I need a bit more practice
on my time step, but er

960
01:01:13,335 --> 01:01:16,300
I can sing. And I'm ambitious, Dickie.

961
01:01:16,500 --> 01:01:17,765
I want my own spotlight.

962
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:20,600
I want a dress made just for me.
I want to be front-page news.

963
01:01:20,635 --> 01:01:23,065
Sweetheart...let's be honest,

964
01:01:23,100 --> 01:01:26,900
l've heard you. Never in a million years.

965
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:34,700
I'd like to think he's crept
into the cheap seats since then

966
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:36,400
and cried.

967
01:01:36,700 --> 01:01:38,500
And Jackie Afflick...

968
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:40,300
were you in love with him?

969
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:43,200
That jerk?

970
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:45,565
Give me a break!

971
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:46,700
Why? What's he been saying?

972
01:01:47,100 --> 01:01:48,600
Tears at the last-night party?

973
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:51,900
Oh, well, I was sentimental back then.

974
01:01:52,100 --> 01:01:54,200
And it was the end of the Funnybones.

975
01:01:54,235 --> 01:01:56,000
I knew I was leaving Dillmouth

976
01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:58,400
to take the long, hard road to stardom.

977
01:01:58,900 --> 01:02:01,300
Do you remember anything unusual
happening that night?

978
01:02:03,100 --> 01:02:06,600
Oh, um... Well,
there was Walter Fane, I suppose.

979
01:02:07,500 --> 01:02:09,800
I got back to the digs, and there he was.

980
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:12,065
Talk about desperate!

981
01:02:12,100 --> 01:02:14,300
Where's Helen? She's not back.

982
01:02:14,500 --> 01:02:17,300
- I must see her!
- I'm sorry, I can't help you.

983
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:19,200
Beauty sleep!

984
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:25,600
That's it. I've got fans to thrill.

985
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:28,400
Do you have a problem with your eyes?

986
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:32,300
The one thing I learned from Helen,
my dear,

987
01:02:32,500 --> 01:02:34,000
was mystery.

988
01:02:35,300 --> 01:02:36,400
Miss Ballantyne...

989
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:40,600
-..have you ever been to India?
- Yes.

990
01:02:40,900 --> 01:02:42,900
- When?
- During the war.

991
01:02:43,100 --> 01:02:46,800
Bringing much-needed glamour
to our dear, brave troops.

992
01:02:48,300 --> 01:02:49,200
Why?

993
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:50,500
Nothing.

994
01:02:51,500 --> 01:02:54,800
Well... Goodbye, darlings.

995
01:03:02,500 --> 01:03:03,500
I'll tell you one thing.

996
01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:07,200
I won't go down on bended knee
when I propose. Far too showy

997
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:10,900
Bet you do. I'll check up on you
when you're engaged.

998
01:03:15,100 --> 01:03:18,300
The day we met, there was a fork in the road.

999
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:21,600
- And I wanted to go one way...
- And I said...

1000
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:25,300
.. I always follow my instinct.

1001
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:40,000
Yes?

1002
01:03:40,100 --> 01:03:42,200
Telephone message for Mlss Halliday, sir.

1003
01:03:55,300 --> 01:03:56,300
Miss Marple.

1004
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:58,700
Lily's been in touch and
they're meeting her in the morning.

1005
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:01,800
Early start, then.

1006
01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:04,600
Early start.

1007
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:34,600
Yes. You're quite sure?

1008
01:04:35,100 --> 01:04:36,800
- Go on.
- She should be here.

1009
01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:39,400
The station's just a short walk.

1010
01:04:45,100 --> 01:04:46,800
- Do you need another aspirin?
- No.

1011
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:50,500
How was Charles this morning?

1012
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:53,200
Well, thank you. It was lovely to hear him.

1013
01:04:53,300 --> 01:04:54,865
I wonder if Lily called in

1014
01:04:54,900 --> 01:04:56,600
at the Erskines' first, by any chance.

1015
01:04:57,100 --> 01:04:57,900
Why?

1016
01:04:58,700 --> 01:05:00,900
It's just I bumped into Dickie in the street.

1017
01:05:01,300 --> 01:05:03,900
I said she was coming to Dillmouth.
He remembered her well.

1018
01:05:04,300 --> 01:05:05,400
A loyal fan.

1019
01:05:11,700 --> 01:05:14,200
That was Scotland Yard's handwriting expert,

1020
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:15,700
about Helen's postcard.

1021
01:05:16,300 --> 01:05:18,200
- No doubt about it.
- A forgery?

1022
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:21,400
Genuine. He's a hundred per cent certain.

1023
01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:23,500
That means your father
couldn't have murdered Helen

1024
01:05:23,535 --> 01:05:25,200
because Helen wasn't murdered.

1025
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:26,865
My father couldn't have murdered Helen

1026
01:05:26,900 --> 01:05:29,200
because my father would never have
murdered anyone.

1027
01:05:36,500 --> 01:05:38,500
Helen was strangled. I saw it.

1028
01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:40,800
No-one will ever make me say I didn't.

1029
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:43,400
You believe me, don't you? Promise.

1030
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:47,300
I believe you saw a murder, Gwenda.
I promise I do.

1031
01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:49,900
And I can't believe my father
would kill himself.

1032
01:05:51,100 --> 01:05:52,500
Perhaps someone murdered him, too.

1033
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:07,300
Strangled. I won't be retiring Friday.

1034
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:10,000
This isn't the way from the station.

1035
01:06:10,300 --> 01:06:12,400
Not from Woodleigh Bolton station, no.

1036
01:06:12,700 --> 01:06:14,465
But it is from Matchings Holt.

1037
01:06:14,500 --> 01:06:16,100
I told her to go to Woodleigh Bolton.

1038
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:20,000
And to be on the 10.30 from Coombeleigh.

1039
01:06:20,300 --> 01:06:23,300
But according to the ticket collector
at Matchings Holt,

1040
01:06:23,700 --> 01:06:25,200
she was on the 9.30.

1041
01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:27,200
Why?

1042
01:06:28,900 --> 01:06:30,100
If Helen wasn't murdered,

1043
01:06:30,500 --> 01:06:32,200
what did Lily know that's got her killed?

1044
01:06:35,100 --> 01:06:38,500
About Helen's postcard and the handwriting...

1045
01:06:38,700 --> 01:06:41,200
Are we quite sure it proves she...

1046
01:06:41,235 --> 01:06:43,700
You can't argue with the experts.

1047
01:06:43,900 --> 01:06:45,300
Now, I've been thinking.

1048
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:48,900
Mr Richard Erskine had a first wife
who ran off, didn't he?

1049
01:06:49,300 --> 01:06:50,400
Never seen again.

1050
01:06:50,500 --> 01:06:53,800
So Jackie Afflick said.
But what possible connection...

1051
01:06:53,835 --> 01:06:56,100
There's a technical term we use,
Miss Marple.

1052
01:06:56,700 --> 01:06:58,000
"Following a hunch."

1053
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:02,700
Erskine came back to Dillmouth
after the war.

1054
01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:05,565
Say he did so to keep an eye on Lily,

1055
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:08,500
because she knew he'd murdered his first wife.

1056
01:07:08,900 --> 01:07:11,200
He found out she was coming
to see Dr Kennedy...

1057
01:07:11,235 --> 01:07:12,900
Anybody could have known that.

1058
01:07:13,100 --> 01:07:16,100
I doubt Dillmouth's much different
from my own St Mary Mead,

1059
01:07:16,135 --> 01:07:17,365
when it comes to gossip.

1060
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:19,350
And we may think the Funnybones

1061
01:07:19,385 --> 01:07:21,992
aren't in touch with each other,

1062
01:07:22,027 --> 01:07:24,600
but...can we really be sure?

1063
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:27,800
You think I should get them all here?

1064
01:07:30,300 --> 01:07:33,300
I wouldn't dream
of suggesting what you should do.

1065
01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:36,600
I'll consider it.

1066
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:45,400
He's the only Funnybone
Lily had a photograph of.

1067
01:07:45,700 --> 01:07:48,500
Why not? We know he was her favourite.

1068
01:07:49,500 --> 01:07:50,500
Mr Tutt...

1069
01:07:51,900 --> 01:07:55,600
Did Lily often talk about her time
at Dillmouth in Hillside?

1070
01:07:55,900 --> 01:07:56,665
No.

1071
01:07:56,700 --> 01:07:59,900
Except she's saying how she
should have stayed in service,

1072
01:07:59,935 --> 01:08:02,300
rather than live this life out here with me.

1073
01:08:06,700 --> 01:08:10,700
If there's something particular
you want to know, ask.

1074
01:08:11,300 --> 01:08:12,600
I'm off to see her mother.

1075
01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:16,600
What did Lily make of
Miss Marsden's disappearance?

1076
01:08:17,100 --> 01:08:18,500
Never believed she ran off,

1077
01:08:18,535 --> 01:08:19,900
if that's what you mean.

1078
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:22,200
Unless she went to the North Pole.

1079
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:23,900
That's what she used to say.

1080
01:08:24,500 --> 01:08:26,900
- North Pole?
- Search me.

1081
01:08:28,900 --> 01:08:31,600
Thank you, Mr Tutt.
You've been very helpful indeed.

1082
01:08:31,900 --> 01:08:34,100
- Please accept this.
- I'm sure Mr Tutt doesn't...

1083
01:08:34,135 --> 01:08:35,500
I'm sure Mr Tutt does.

1084
01:08:36,500 --> 01:08:38,000
Gonna bury her decent.

1085
01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:40,700
Thank you, miss.

1086
01:08:43,900 --> 01:08:45,400
We're very fortunate, aren't we?

1087
01:08:48,100 --> 01:08:49,300
The North Pole?

1088
01:08:49,500 --> 01:08:50,500
Don't you see?

1089
01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:53,265
All of Helen's clothes,

1090
01:08:53,300 --> 01:08:55,700
apart from her wedding outfit,
were at Hillside.

1091
01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:58,600
It was high summer.

1092
01:08:59,300 --> 01:09:01,200
Lily must have noticed that Helen had taken

1093
01:09:01,235 --> 01:09:03,000
winter clothes, not summer ones.

1094
01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:05,700
Or rather the murderer had, in a panic.

1095
01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:08,400
You clever thing!

1096
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:10,100
I am rather, aren't I?

1097
01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:18,100
I do think the police might wonder, you see.

1098
01:09:19,100 --> 01:09:21,550
Walter was seen at the Funnybones' digs,

1099
01:09:21,585 --> 01:09:24,000
when you say he was here with you...

1100
01:09:25,200 --> 01:09:26,300
and a jigsaw.

1101
01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:28,600
He was.

1102
01:09:31,700 --> 01:09:35,600
And was he here with you when
Lily Tutt was murdered, too?

1103
01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:41,000
Mrs Fane?

1104
01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:44,800
Walter's very dear to me.

1105
01:09:48,100 --> 01:09:51,700
The bond between mother and child, or...

1106
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:56,000
or father and child,
always finds expression somehow.

1107
01:09:56,035 --> 01:09:59,600
Whether through love,
or through making allowances.

1108
01:09:59,635 --> 01:10:01,400
What would you know about motherhood?

1109
01:10:14,500 --> 01:10:16,200
Is that Kali?

1110
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:18,965
Yes, Kali.

1111
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:20,500
A dark and terrible mother.

1112
01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:33,000
Sergeant MacAuley, please.
He's expecting my call.

1113
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:37,400
Mrs Erskine swears
her husband was at home

1114
01:10:37,435 --> 01:10:38,800
at the time of Lily's murder.

1115
01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:40,700
And I'm inclined to believe her.

1116
01:10:41,300 --> 01:10:44,500
But Mr Erskine claims
his first wife married again,

1117
01:10:44,535 --> 01:10:46,165
to a crofter in the Outer Hebrides,

1118
01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:48,665
which sounds like a right
cock-and-bull story to me.

1119
01:10:48,700 --> 01:10:52,200
As I'm sure the local police
will be confirming, as we speak

1120
01:10:52,500 --> 01:10:55,100
It's fascinating to see how a hunch works.

1121
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:58,000
But I do hope
they won't be too long about it.

1122
01:10:58,035 --> 01:10:59,800
Everyone will be here quite soon.

1123
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:01,900
Arthur Primer.

1124
01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:04,000
Yes, Sergeant.

1125
01:11:05,100 --> 01:11:06,300
Yes.

1126
01:11:07,700 --> 01:11:08,600
I see.

1127
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:12,800
And cheerio the noo to you, too.

1128
01:11:17,500 --> 01:11:19,400
Mr Erskine was telling the truth.

1129
01:11:20,300 --> 01:11:21,800
First wife, alive and kicking,

1130
01:11:21,900 --> 01:11:23,900
with second husband and six kids.

1131
01:11:24,400 --> 01:11:25,700
Six children?

1132
01:11:26,300 --> 01:11:27,800
And 50 sheep.

1133
01:11:30,300 --> 01:11:31,500
Dillmouth?

1134
01:11:32,300 --> 01:11:34,400
Yes, yes. If I must..

1135
01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:47,600
Have a wizard time.

1136
01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:51,900
Give your old man a hug, son.

1137
01:11:58,200 --> 01:12:00,200
George, you're on my foot.

1138
01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:08,900
We're about to catch a killer.

1139
01:12:09,300 --> 01:12:11,300
That doesn't mean my house
can't be well presented.

1140
01:12:12,900 --> 01:12:14,400
Sorry, Mr Hornbeam,

1141
01:12:14,700 --> 01:12:17,300
but there were a message for you
this afternoon from India.

1142
01:12:17,335 --> 01:12:18,465
Mr Vanstone.

1143
01:12:18,500 --> 01:12:20,550
He said he got what you wired,

1144
01:12:20,585 --> 01:12:22,565
and he's found inspector Chopra,

1145
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:25,600
and the Inspector were investigating
a jewel robbery.

1146
01:12:25,900 --> 01:12:28,550
- Jewellery? Did he say what sort?
- No.

1147
01:12:28,585 --> 01:12:31,442
Have you spoken to Charles
behind my back?

1148
01:12:31,477 --> 01:12:34,300
I'm sorry, it was necessary, believe me.

1149
01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:39,200
We'll be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,9

1150
01:12:40,600 --> 01:12:41,800
Eleven.

1151
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:42,900
Eleven?

1152
01:12:44,300 --> 01:12:45,900
Cocktails, please, Mrs Pagett.

1153
01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:49,400
There's sherry. With ice.

1154
01:12:57,400 --> 01:12:59,600
Ah! Dr Kennedy.

1155
01:12:59,700 --> 01:13:01,200
They're in there.

1156
01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:33,700
Thank you.

1157
01:13:34,300 --> 01:13:36,400
- Miss Ballantyne.
- Mr Afflick.

1158
01:13:36,700 --> 01:13:38,900
- How's tricks?
- Tricky.

1159
01:13:39,500 --> 01:13:40,900
Er...Miss Ballantyne,

1160
01:13:41,300 --> 01:13:44,900
may I say that your success
is very well deserved.

1161
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:46,700
Yes, Walter dear, you may.

1162
01:13:52,700 --> 01:13:54,400
Oh, Dickie, look at you.

1163
01:13:57,800 --> 01:14:00,365
Do you know what time it is here, madam?

1164
01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:03,400
I'm not exactly sure,
but I imagine it's dreadfully late.

1165
01:14:03,435 --> 01:14:06,400
And I'm so sorry to have got you out
of what is evidently

1166
01:14:06,435 --> 01:14:08,265
the wrong side of your bed, Mr Vanstone.

1167
01:14:08,300 --> 01:14:10,700
If this is anything less than Gwenda
dropping dead...

1168
01:14:10,735 --> 01:14:12,300
by the way, I take It she hasn't.

1169
01:14:12,335 --> 01:14:13,600
Did you say ''by the way''?

1170
01:14:13,635 --> 01:14:15,065
Yes. Why?

1171
01:14:15,100 --> 01:14:18,365
Er... The line crackled. Er...

1172
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:21,000
Please arrange to show inspector Chopra

1173
01:14:21,035 --> 01:14:22,400
what we wired immediately.

1174
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:25,900
And what's this about a jewel robbery?

1175
01:14:46,300 --> 01:14:47,200
Extraordinary.

1176
01:15:03,700 --> 01:15:05,000
18 years ago,

1177
01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:07,600
Helen Marsden was murdered in this house.

1178
01:15:09,300 --> 01:15:11,100
Her killer is in this room.

1179
01:15:12,200 --> 01:15:13,100
Mr Fane.

1180
01:15:14,100 --> 01:15:14,900
What?

1181
01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:16,865
Where were you that night?

1182
01:15:16,900 --> 01:15:19,500
Apart from at the Funnybones' digs
looking for Helen Marsden

1183
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:23,700
Well, they asked, Walter.

1184
01:15:24,200 --> 01:15:25,300
And it was a bit odd.

1185
01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:26,800
You were a bit odd.

1186
01:15:28,200 --> 01:15:30,100
You were obsessed with Helen, weren't you?

1187
01:15:30,135 --> 01:15:32,000
I told you already. She was my friend.

1188
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:34,300
Did you want her to be more than that?

1189
01:15:34,600 --> 01:15:36,400
- No.
- Please just tell the truth.

1190
01:15:39,700 --> 01:15:41,100
I can't.

1191
01:15:44,300 --> 01:15:46,900
It would mean turning
someone's world upside down.

1192
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:48,200
Your choice, Fane.

1193
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:55,100
It's not.

1194
01:15:57,900 --> 01:15:59,400
It's mine.

1195
01:16:01,900 --> 01:16:03,100
Janet?

1196
01:16:06,400 --> 01:16:07,700
Tell them, Walter.

1197
01:16:14,100 --> 01:16:15,300
At the goodbye do,

1198
01:16:16,500 --> 01:16:20,350
I realised I couldn't let Janet leave

1199
01:16:20,385 --> 01:16:24,200
without a very...private goodbye.

1200
01:16:27,900 --> 01:16:29,300
I went to her dressing room.

1201
01:16:30,900 --> 01:16:33,700
But I heard Dickie coming, so I had to hide.

1202
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:40,900
Dickie.

1203
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:43,600
Dickie, I...

1204
01:16:43,635 --> 01:16:44,400
What?

1205
01:16:46,300 --> 01:16:47,600
I... I'm pregnant, dear.

1206
01:16:47,635 --> 01:16:49,200
What?

1207
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:54,800
How can I keep the company running
with a child on the way?

1208
01:16:55,900 --> 01:16:59,200
You stupid, bloody woman!

1209
01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:01,400
I was as shocked as he was.

1210
01:17:02,300 --> 01:17:04,500
But I just knew somehow,
when I overheard.

1211
01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:10,500
- Are you saying Fane...?
- Yes.

1212
01:17:12,500 --> 01:17:14,600
He is George's father.

1213
01:17:14,635 --> 01:17:16,700
- Walter!
- Oh, Dickie.

1214
01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:19,800
You've always known, haven't you, somehow,

1215
01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:22,200
that George isn't your son?

1216
01:17:24,100 --> 01:17:25,165
Yes.

1217
01:17:25,200 --> 01:17:27,150
Because it wasn't your first wife

1218
01:17:27,185 --> 01:17:29,100
who couldn't have children, was it?

1219
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:32,200
She's managed six with her second husband.

1220
01:17:33,900 --> 01:17:34,900
It was you.

1221
01:17:39,900 --> 01:17:41,200
Go on, Mr Fane.

1222
01:17:43,500 --> 01:17:44,600
I went home.

1223
01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:48,200
I heard you come in...and go to your room.

1224
01:17:49,100 --> 01:17:50,300
Half an hour later...

1225
01:17:50,700 --> 01:17:51,800
I went to look for Helen.

1226
01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:54,500
She was the only one
who knew about Janet and me

1227
01:17:54,535 --> 01:17:56,100
and I needed to talk.

1228
01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:57,300
I followed him.

1229
01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:02,600
Then I saw that Indian man
and I was frightened,

1230
01:18:02,635 --> 01:18:03,600
so I went home.

1231
01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:06,700
I was waiting at the Funnybones'digs. '

1232
01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:09,765
Where's Helen? She's not back.

1233
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:12,600
- I must see her!
- I'm sorry, I can't help you.

1234
01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:14,700
Which is when Miss Ballantyne saw me.

1235
01:18:16,300 --> 01:18:18,600
Walter, I'm sorry.

1236
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:22,300
Oh, how could I ever have thought you...?

1237
01:18:24,300 --> 01:18:25,900
My own child!

1238
01:18:26,300 --> 01:18:28,800
You were always such a gentle boy.
You could never...

1239
01:18:30,300 --> 01:18:31,600
kill anyone.

1240
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:36,000
Look on the bright side.

1241
01:18:38,800 --> 01:18:40,800
You never thought you'd have a grandchild.

1242
01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:47,900
No wonder you took in George.

1243
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:50,400
I could have saved myself a black eye.

1244
01:18:50,900 --> 01:18:52,300
You thought it was me?

1245
01:18:52,335 --> 01:18:53,400
Mr Erskine...

1246
01:18:55,100 --> 01:18:57,800
.. what did you tell Helen at the party?

1247
01:19:00,300 --> 01:19:03,200
I told her I'd seen that Indian chap,

1248
01:19:03,300 --> 01:19:04,600
hanging about by the stage door.

1249
01:19:04,635 --> 01:19:05,865
She couldn't get out of the theatre

1250
01:19:05,900 --> 01:19:08,200
fast enough, through the front entrance.

1251
01:19:09,200 --> 01:19:10,900
She seemed terrified, for some reason.

1252
01:19:13,400 --> 01:19:14,800
How intriguing.

1253
01:19:17,300 --> 01:19:19,800
Sorry. Do go on.

1254
01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:23,400
Nothing much to tell,
except taking a swing at Afflick.

1255
01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:25,600
When you high-tailed it out
of Dillmouth in the morning,

1256
01:19:25,635 --> 01:19:27,700
I assumed you had a guilty conscience
about Janet.

1257
01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:31,600
- Maybe the guilt was about Helen.
- Oh, come off it.

1258
01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:34,000
You had just failed
to get your way with her at the party.

1259
01:19:37,100 --> 01:19:38,400
I know, but er...

1260
01:19:39,800 --> 01:19:41,500
Look, I went back to the digs.

1261
01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:42,700
Honest.

1262
01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:45,300
And then, for the rest of the night...

1263
01:19:46,300 --> 01:19:48,600
This places me in a very difficult position.

1264
01:19:49,100 --> 01:19:52,100
- Professionally speaking.
- You, Dr Kennedy?

1265
01:19:59,100 --> 01:20:01,500
Oh, well, if it's the only way.

1266
01:20:04,700 --> 01:20:06,100
Jackie couldn't have killed Helen.

1267
01:20:07,100 --> 01:20:08,700
No, now we've all got to tell the truth,

1268
01:20:08,735 --> 01:20:10,400
or you'll be in a tight spot.

1269
01:20:13,100 --> 01:20:14,700
We were just kids.

1270
01:20:16,100 --> 01:20:18,100
It was bad enough for me in the bar.

1271
01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:20,700
Who wants first dance
with the smoothest smoocher

1272
01:20:20,735 --> 01:20:22,067
on the South Coast?

1273
01:20:22,102 --> 01:20:23,400
I will, Jackie.

1274
01:20:25,600 --> 01:20:27,065
And then it got worse.

1275
01:20:27,100 --> 01:20:29,200
- I want to be front-page news.
- Sweetheart...

1276
01:20:29,700 --> 01:20:33,600
I've heard you. Never in a million years.

1277
01:20:34,100 --> 01:20:36,300
I've got enough bad habits,
and so have you! Now get off!

1278
01:20:45,100 --> 01:20:49,300
Is it any wonder I did a stupid,
stupid thing?

1279
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:55,200
She was in my room.

1280
01:20:56,100 --> 01:20:58,100
God knows how many of those pills she'd taken.

1281
01:20:59,600 --> 01:21:01,400
But I got her into Lionel Luff's old jalopy

1282
01:21:01,435 --> 01:21:03,300
and I took her up to see the doc.

1283
01:21:04,100 --> 01:21:06,400
I gave Miss Ballantyne an emetic.

1284
01:21:07,100 --> 01:21:08,700
And when she was rid of the worst

1285
01:21:08,735 --> 01:21:10,300
I sat with her until close to dawn,

1286
01:21:10,700 --> 01:21:11,900
while she slept it off.

1287
01:21:12,100 --> 01:21:13,600
Why didn't you take her to the hospital?

1288
01:21:15,600 --> 01:21:17,400
The pills were Benzedrex.

1289
01:21:18,500 --> 01:21:19,665
illegal drugs.

1290
01:21:19,700 --> 01:21:23,600
I needed a lift.
Have you ever tried playing xylophone

1291
01:21:23,635 --> 01:21:25,000
and tap dancing at the same time?

1292
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:27,200
Who supplied you?

1293
01:21:27,400 --> 01:21:30,000
Someone who liked his vitamins, Mr Afflick?

1294
01:21:30,800 --> 01:21:33,400
And made enough on the side
to open a little bar in France?

1295
01:21:36,700 --> 01:21:39,400
Yes. It was a nice little earner.

1296
01:21:39,435 --> 01:21:40,867
It's not right, Jackie.

1297
01:21:40,902 --> 01:21:42,300
Helen knew all about It.

1298
01:21:45,300 --> 01:21:47,600
Well, if you ever change your mind, eh?

1299
01:21:53,200 --> 01:21:54,065
So we three, though

1300
01:21:54,100 --> 01:21:57,200
not for the most respectable of reasons,
do have our alibis.

1301
01:21:58,600 --> 01:22:02,700
That's not quite true, is it, Doctor,
in your case?

1302
01:22:02,735 --> 01:22:05,000
Neither Mr Afflick nor Miss Ballantyne

1303
01:22:05,035 --> 01:22:06,265
would have been any the wiser

1304
01:22:06,300 --> 01:22:08,900
if you'd slipped out,
come up here and strangled Helen.

1305
01:22:11,500 --> 01:22:13,300
Well, strictly speaking, I suppose.

1306
01:22:13,600 --> 01:22:15,900
And strictly speaking,

1307
01:22:16,400 --> 01:22:20,500
you don't have an alibi
for Lily's strangling, either.

1308
01:22:21,500 --> 01:22:22,665
I was with you at the time

1309
01:22:22,700 --> 01:22:24,600
we thought she was arriving from the station.

1310
01:22:25,600 --> 01:22:27,500
How could I have known she'd changed
her plans?

1311
01:22:28,600 --> 01:22:32,300
She should be here.
The station's just a short walk.

1312
01:22:32,335 --> 01:22:34,300
I think you were most ingenious.

1313
01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:36,300
Perhaps the letter found on her body

1314
01:22:36,335 --> 01:22:37,565
wasn't the one you sent her,

1315
01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:41,550
and what you'd really told her
to do was catch the 9.30 train,

1316
01:22:41,585 --> 01:22:43,100
get off at Matchings Holt

1317
01:22:43,500 --> 01:22:44,800
and take the footpath.

1318
01:22:46,900 --> 01:22:48,400
You'd have had an hour in hand.

1319
01:22:49,200 --> 01:22:52,300
And a quiet place to...kill her.

1320
01:22:54,900 --> 01:22:57,500
And substitute a letter you'd never posted,

1321
01:22:57,535 --> 01:22:59,617
which specifled the 10.30 train

1322
01:22:59,652 --> 01:23:01,700
and Woodleigh Bolton station.

1323
01:23:06,700 --> 01:23:09,400
This beats the convoluted
and bizarre fantasies of

1324
01:23:09,435 --> 01:23:11,400
my most disturbed patients.

1325
01:23:12,200 --> 01:23:17,900
You seem to have a liking for
little tricks involving post.

1326
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:21,000
I think Helen's card was another.

1327
01:23:21,500 --> 01:23:23,200
Or rather your card.

1328
01:23:23,300 --> 01:23:26,000
Since I believe you forged it
and sent it from London.

1329
01:23:26,035 --> 01:23:27,600
Don't you trust Scotland Yard?

1330
01:23:27,700 --> 01:23:30,000
Their expert was quite right.

1331
01:23:30,400 --> 01:23:32,900
The card and photograph
were both written in the same hand.

1332
01:23:34,500 --> 01:23:35,900
Could have been yours.

1333
01:23:36,700 --> 01:23:37,900
Disguised.

1334
01:23:38,400 --> 01:23:40,765
When you knew Mr Primer and I
were coming to see you,

1335
01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:45,200
you would have written that message
from Helen on the back.

1336
01:23:45,500 --> 01:23:49,500
"Darling James, you're the best,
best man ever.

1337
01:23:50,100 --> 01:23:52,065
- And all my..."
- ''..my fondest love

1338
01:23:52,100 --> 01:23:55,100
for being so wonderful to me.
Your very own Helen.''

1339
01:23:56,100 --> 01:23:58,965
You must have intercepted the card

1340
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:02,300
before It was delivered here to
Kelvin Halliday.

1341
01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:06,800
You followed Mr Halllday on his regular
cliff walk,

1342
01:24:06,835 --> 01:24:11,000
and pushed him to his death on the rocks below.

1343
01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:15,865
Then you delivered the postcard,

1344
01:24:15,900 --> 01:24:19,050
so when it was found,
everyone assumed he'd killed himself

1345
01:24:19,085 --> 01:24:22,200
after reading from Helen
that she'd gone from life forever.

1346
01:24:23,300 --> 01:24:24,700
Oh, this is preposterous.

1347
01:24:25,800 --> 01:24:27,500
Why on earth would I kill Helen Marsden?

1348
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:29,600
Where's this taking us?

1349
01:24:30,200 --> 01:24:33,200
To India, Dr Kennedy.

1350
01:24:33,400 --> 01:24:35,000
And to your sister Clare.

1351
01:24:35,035 --> 01:24:36,600
My mother again? But...

1352
01:24:37,900 --> 01:24:39,000
Excuse me.

1353
01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:46,100
Your mother, Gwenda,
was dismissed from post as governess...

1354
01:24:46,135 --> 01:24:47,400
for theft.

1355
01:24:48,500 --> 01:24:51,800
By the time she met your father,
she worked in a nightclub.

1356
01:24:51,835 --> 01:24:54,900
She danced with lonely men.
Nothing more, but...

1357
01:24:56,300 --> 01:25:00,700
.. sometimes an unguarded pocket
was picked.

1358
01:25:01,500 --> 01:25:04,100
Then she fell in love and married,
and you were born.

1359
01:25:04,135 --> 01:25:05,600
But her past caught up with her.

1360
01:25:06,200 --> 01:25:08,265
Inspector Chopra of the Delhi Police

1361
01:25:08,300 --> 01:25:11,700
was on the trail of some stolen jewellery.

1362
01:25:14,300 --> 01:25:15,400
Do you mean...

1363
01:25:15,435 --> 01:25:16,800
Yes.

1364
01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:21,700
What's this to do with the murder
of Helen Marsden?

1365
01:25:26,300 --> 01:25:28,800
That telephone call was from India.

1366
01:25:31,600 --> 01:25:33,100
You killed your sister.

1367
01:25:36,200 --> 01:25:39,100
- I've never been to India.
- She didn't die in India.

1368
01:25:40,300 --> 01:25:41,800
She died in Dillmouth.

1369
01:25:46,100 --> 01:25:48,150
Clare Halliday and Helen Marsden

1370
01:25:48,185 --> 01:25:50,200
were one and the same person.

1371
01:25:53,600 --> 01:25:56,700
Clare and Kelvin Halliday devised a plan

1372
01:25:56,735 --> 01:25:58,200
to start a new life,

1373
01:25:58,400 --> 01:26:00,600
so she could leave her criminal past

1374
01:26:00,635 --> 01:26:02,865
behind her once and for all.

1375
01:26:02,900 --> 01:26:05,600
- The car's a wreck, darling.
- Oh, darling, you're safe.

1376
01:26:06,500 --> 01:26:09,250
- I'll see you in England.
- Yes.

1377
01:26:09,285 --> 01:26:11,892
Clare's car accident was staged.

1378
01:26:11,927 --> 01:26:14,500
Like the rest of the charade.

1379
01:26:15,100 --> 01:26:17,800
She came to England,
and my father followed later with me?

1380
01:26:18,600 --> 01:26:20,000
Yes, Gwenda.

1381
01:26:22,300 --> 01:26:24,750
Exit stage right, Clare Halliday.

1382
01:26:24,785 --> 01:26:26,642
Enter stage left, Helen Marsden.

1383
01:26:26,677 --> 01:26:28,465
Because it was a performance.

1384
01:26:28,500 --> 01:26:32,500
With the Funnybones
as their all-important audience.

1385
01:26:32,700 --> 01:26:35,000
- Daddy, look!
- Sorry.

1386
01:26:35,800 --> 01:26:37,900
It was my late wife's favourite song.

1387
01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:40,500
Will you marry me?

1388
01:26:43,400 --> 01:26:45,100
Yes, Kelvin.

1389
01:26:46,600 --> 01:26:52,300
But it wasn't just the police
she was avoiding in Dillmouth.

1390
01:26:53,300 --> 01:26:55,300
Possibly she went to India in the first place

1391
01:26:55,335 --> 01:26:56,800
because she found you a little...

1392
01:26:58,600 --> 01:27:01,000
.. overprotective of her.

1393
01:27:02,700 --> 01:27:03,765
Whatever the reason,

1394
01:27:03,800 --> 01:27:06,565
she had no intention of continuing a career

1395
01:27:06,600 --> 01:27:08,900
that would bring her
the wrong kind of recogniton

1396
01:27:08,935 --> 01:27:10,100
once she was married.

1397
01:27:10,800 --> 01:27:13,165
if only Mr Halliday hadn't

1398
01:27:13,200 --> 01:27:16,565
put that engagement notice in The Times.

1399
01:27:16,600 --> 01:27:19,100
She was cross about that,
as Mrs Pagett heard.

1400
01:27:20,000 --> 01:27:23,500
Kelvin Halliday...didn't invite you

1401
01:27:23,535 --> 01:27:24,900
down to Dillmouth, did he?

1402
01:27:25,700 --> 01:27:27,965
You read that engagement notice

1403
01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:30,465
and decided to come and meet the man

1404
01:27:30,500 --> 01:27:34,500
who had married your late
and much-loved sister and...

1405
01:27:36,100 --> 01:27:37,900
.. discovered her very much alive.

1406
01:27:39,300 --> 01:27:41,400
- James.
- Helen.

1407
01:27:41,800 --> 01:27:44,300
Kelvin speaks so lovingly of your sister.

1408
01:27:44,500 --> 01:27:45,500
Dear Clare.

1409
01:27:46,100 --> 01:27:48,300
Did you enjoy playing the role?

1410
01:27:50,100 --> 01:27:52,100
Why would I kill my sister?

1411
01:27:59,700 --> 01:28:01,100
"Darling James...

1412
01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:04,200
.. all my fondest love.

1413
01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:06,100
Your very own... ''

1414
01:28:08,100 --> 01:28:11,865
The sort of thing Helen Marsden could write,

1415
01:28:11,900 --> 01:28:16,900
but knowing she didn't, I wonder if you,
forgive me, Doctor,

1416
01:28:16,935 --> 01:28:18,965
subconsciously chose the words

1417
01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:22,000
you longed for Clare to say to you.

1418
01:28:24,200 --> 01:28:27,300
Is that why you became a psychiatrist?

1419
01:28:28,300 --> 01:28:30,300
Physician, heal thyself?

1420
01:28:34,300 --> 01:28:35,400
Not heal.

1421
01:28:36,700 --> 01:28:37,900
It was too late for that.

1422
01:28:39,400 --> 01:28:40,700
Understand.

1423
01:28:42,300 --> 01:28:45,400
But I now know I could never have loved
any woman but Clare.

1424
01:28:48,700 --> 01:28:50,100
What happened?

1425
01:28:50,600 --> 01:28:52,065
When Mr Erskine told Clare -

1426
01:28:52,100 --> 01:28:54,700
and let us please remember her
by her real name -

1427
01:28:55,600 --> 01:28:56,700
about the Indian,

1428
01:28:57,500 --> 01:28:59,565
she assumed it was one of Mr Chopra's men

1429
01:28:59,600 --> 01:29:01,600
come to track her down
about the jewel robbery.

1430
01:29:02,400 --> 01:29:03,600
See you in the morning.

1431
01:29:04,200 --> 01:29:05,300
It was.

1432
01:29:05,800 --> 01:29:07,565
So she came to see Kelvin.

1433
01:29:07,600 --> 01:29:11,200
Mrs Pagett heard them arguing
about a man.

1434
01:29:11,500 --> 01:29:13,565
Calm down! I'm not going to see him!

1435
01:29:13,600 --> 01:29:16,300
Well, I am! If you think I'm going to
stand by and let...

1436
01:29:16,335 --> 01:29:17,465
Madam!

1437
01:29:17,500 --> 01:29:19,000
Kelvin went to look for him...

1438
01:29:20,100 --> 01:29:21,300
.. having phoned me.

1439
01:29:24,700 --> 01:29:25,800
All I wanted...

1440
01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:28,900
.. was one proper kiss...

1441
01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:32,100
.. from my little sister, before it was too late.

1442
01:29:33,100 --> 01:29:34,200
Just once.

1443
01:29:34,900 --> 01:29:37,400
Just tonight, for your darling James.

1444
01:29:37,800 --> 01:29:39,900
- No!
- You're my very own.

1445
01:29:40,300 --> 01:29:41,600
My very own.

1446
01:30:10,600 --> 01:30:11,500
Constable.

1447
01:30:18,600 --> 01:30:19,900
James Alfred Kennedy,

1448
01:30:20,600 --> 01:30:23,600
you have the right to remain silent,
but anything you say...

1449
01:30:23,635 --> 01:30:24,500
Where's my mother?

1450
01:30:27,800 --> 01:30:30,000
Uncle James,

1451
01:30:30,800 --> 01:30:31,900
where is she?

1452
01:30:58,300 --> 01:30:59,800
Mrs Bun, the baker's wife?

1453
01:31:19,800 --> 01:31:21,500
She deserves better.

1454
01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:28,000
Mr Vanstone sounded most unsuitable to me.

1455
01:31:29,400 --> 01:31:30,500
But they're engaged.

1456
01:31:32,900 --> 01:31:34,400
But not married.

1457
01:31:39,200 --> 01:31:40,100
Yet.

1458
01:31:43,300 --> 01:31:44,600
Instinct.
