1
00:00:17,143 --> 00:00:18,803
Hesketh-Dubois...

2
00:00:18,803 --> 00:00:22,443
Shaw. Harmondsworth.
God forgive me!

3
00:00:22,443 --> 00:00:24,363
Wickedness!

4
00:00:42,243 --> 00:00:44,883
"...aught that man may question.

5
00:00:44,883 --> 00:00:47,363
You seem to understand me,

6
00:00:47,363 --> 00:00:51,163
By each at once her chappy finger
laying upon her skinny lip.

7
00:00:51,163 --> 00:00:53,323
You should be women,

8
00:00:53,323 --> 00:00:56,403
and yet your beards forbid me to
interpret that you are so.

9
00:00:56,403 --> 00:00:59,603
Speak, if you can. What are you?

10
00:01:01,083 --> 00:01:05,803
All hail, Macbeth. Hail to thee,
Thane of Glamis.

11
00:01:05,803 --> 00:01:10,043
All hail, Macbeth. Hail to thee."

12
00:01:10,043 --> 00:01:12,563
Thank you, lad, thank you.

13
00:01:12,563 --> 00:01:16,123
Good evening, Mrs Coppins.

14
00:01:16,123 --> 00:01:18,683
"Thou shalt be king hereafter."

15
00:01:18,683 --> 00:01:21,083
Wickedness! Wickedness!

16
00:01:22,043 --> 00:01:24,123
Oh, God forgive me!

17
00:01:24,123 --> 00:01:26,363
Perhaps somebody could watch out
for the ambulance?

18
00:01:27,563 --> 00:01:29,563
Mrs Davis...
... Delafontaine...

19
00:01:30,723 --> 00:01:33,523
Mrs Davis, it's Father Gorman.

20
00:01:34,483 --> 00:01:36,483
There isn't much time!

21
00:01:36,483 --> 00:01:39,483
Wickedness! Such wickedness!

22
00:01:39,483 --> 00:01:41,603
I can't die like this!

23
00:01:41,603 --> 00:01:43,563
I must... confess.

24
00:01:48,843 --> 00:01:53,323
Hesketh-Dubois. Shaw.
Harmondsworth.

25
00:01:55,243 --> 00:01:57,883
Tuckerton.

26
00:01:57,883 --> 00:01:59,563
Stopped.

27
00:02:00,723 --> 00:02:02,883
It must be stopped.

28
00:02:02,883 --> 00:02:06,123
I'll do everything that's necessary.

29
00:02:06,123 --> 00:02:08,003
Mrs Davis?

30
00:02:09,243 --> 00:02:10,763
Mrs Davis?

31
00:02:22,403 --> 00:02:24,563
- Is she...?
- She's at peace.

32
00:02:24,563 --> 00:02:27,723
The ambulance is here.
Bleedin' late as usual.

33
00:02:27,723 --> 00:02:31,963
"Now, o'er the one half world,
Nature seems dead."

34
00:02:31,963 --> 00:02:35,723
"And wicked dreams
abuse the curtained sleep.

35
00:02:35,723 --> 00:02:39,723
Witchcraft celebrates pale Hecate's
offerings..."

36
00:02:39,723 --> 00:02:44,123
"... and withered murder, alarmed by
his sentinel, the wolf,

37
00:02:44,123 --> 00:02:46,003
whose howl's his watch,

38
00:02:46,003 --> 00:02:48,203
thus with his stealthy pace,

39
00:02:48,203 --> 00:02:51,963
with Tarquin's ravishing strides,
towards his design..."

40
00:02:51,963 --> 00:02:54,563
"... moves like a ghost."

41
00:02:54,563 --> 00:02:56,843
"Thou sure and firm-set earth,

42
00:02:56,843 --> 00:02:59,443
hear not my steps which way they
walk,

43
00:02:59,443 --> 00:03:03,203
for fear thy very stones prate of my
whereabout,

44
00:03:03,203 --> 00:03:05,603
and take the present horror from the
time

45
00:03:05,603 --> 00:03:07,803
which now suits with it.

46
00:03:07,803 --> 00:03:10,243
Whiles I threat, he lives..."

47
00:03:32,043 --> 00:03:34,403
Oh, thank you, Marjory, dear.

48
00:03:35,363 --> 00:03:38,203
- That does look good.
- You've got a letter.

49
00:03:38,203 --> 00:03:40,243
Oh, so I see.

50
00:03:40,243 --> 00:03:42,563
London W2.
Where's that?

51
00:03:42,563 --> 00:03:44,443
Paddington, I believe.

52
00:03:44,443 --> 00:03:46,603
Is it from a secret admirer?

53
00:03:46,603 --> 00:03:50,363
Hardly. Father Gorman's a man
of the cloth, dear.

54
00:03:50,363 --> 00:03:52,483
So I hardly think it's...

55
00:04:02,603 --> 00:04:04,483
How very strange.

56
00:04:05,363 --> 00:04:07,563
What's Rev. 6:8, Miss?

57
00:04:07,563 --> 00:04:11,083
It isn't done to read other people's
correspondence, you know.

58
00:04:11,083 --> 00:04:12,363
No, Miss.

59
00:04:13,323 --> 00:04:15,403
But what's it mean?

60
00:04:15,403 --> 00:04:17,283
It's the Book of Revelation.

61
00:04:19,083 --> 00:04:21,683
Chapter Six, verse eight.

62
00:04:21,683 --> 00:04:24,723
"And I looked and beheld a pale
horse.

63
00:04:24,723 --> 00:04:27,403
And his name that sat on him was
Death,

64
00:04:28,323 --> 00:04:30,683
and Hell followed with him."

65
00:04:30,683 --> 00:04:32,803
I don't like the sound of that.

66
00:04:32,803 --> 00:04:36,123
Well, it's the Bible, dear. I'm not
sure you're meant to.

67
00:04:37,703 --> 00:04:39,743
- Morning, miss.
- Thank you, Billy, dear.

68
00:04:47,743 --> 00:04:49,623
That can't be right.

69
00:04:51,583 --> 00:04:54,023
- There must be a mistake.
- Miss?

70
00:04:54,623 --> 00:04:56,823
- Whatever's the matter?
- Well...

71
00:04:56,823 --> 00:04:58,943
It's Father Gorman,

72
00:04:58,943 --> 00:05:00,903
the man who just wrote to me.

73
00:05:02,543 --> 00:05:04,463
He's been murdered.

74
00:05:08,023 --> 00:05:12,063
Inspector Lejeune. I've unseamed
your padre for you,

75
00:05:12,063 --> 00:05:13,823
from nave to chops.

76
00:05:13,823 --> 00:05:16,303
Father Gorman. And?

77
00:05:16,303 --> 00:05:19,703
Well and truly coshed. The first
blow probably killed him.

78
00:05:19,703 --> 00:05:21,743
But whoever did it made sure.

79
00:05:21,743 --> 00:05:23,783
Nasty business.

80
00:05:23,783 --> 00:05:26,823
Nastier than you'd expect for
robbery, Dr Kerrigan.

81
00:05:26,823 --> 00:05:29,343
Was it robbery?
Well, his pockets were turned out

82
00:05:29,343 --> 00:05:31,383
and the lining of his cassock
ripped.

83
00:05:31,383 --> 00:05:33,503
They couldn't have hoped for much.

84
00:05:33,503 --> 00:05:38,863
A parish priest? In my experience,
they're usually as poor as... Quite.

85
00:05:38,863 --> 00:05:42,703
But they battered his head in to make
sure. One would like to know why.

86
00:05:42,703 --> 00:05:45,103
- Anyone come forward?
- Yes, as it happens.

87
00:05:45,103 --> 00:05:46,863
Just about to take a statement.

88
00:05:48,103 --> 00:05:52,143
"Dear Jane, I send the following for
safe keeping.

89
00:05:52,143 --> 00:05:54,983
Ormerod. Sandford. Parkinson.

90
00:05:54,983 --> 00:05:57,183
Hesketh-Dubois.

91
00:05:57,183 --> 00:06:00,623
Shaw. Harmondsworth. Tuckerton.

92
00:06:00,623 --> 00:06:02,623
Corrigan. Delafontaine.

93
00:06:02,623 --> 00:06:04,983
Revelations, 6:8.

94
00:06:04,983 --> 00:06:07,783
Will telephone tomorrow evening
and explain.

95
00:06:07,783 --> 00:06:10,863
Yours affectionately,
Patrick Gorman."

96
00:06:12,423 --> 00:06:14,743
What do you make of it?

97
00:06:14,743 --> 00:06:18,423
Apart from the biblical reference, I'm
not quite sure what to make of it...yet.

98
00:06:18,423 --> 00:06:21,103
-The names don't mean anything to you?
-I'm afraid not.

99
00:06:21,103 --> 00:06:24,303
If I might ask how you knew
Father Gorman?

100
00:06:25,823 --> 00:06:28,703
We met during the Great War

101
00:06:28,703 --> 00:06:31,943
at a convalescent home where I was
nursing sister.

102
00:06:31,943 --> 00:06:36,623
He served as chaplain with the
Seventh Royal Irish horse.

103
00:06:36,623 --> 00:06:38,623
- Brave chap.
- Yes, he was.

104
00:06:38,623 --> 00:06:40,663
When did you see him last?

105
00:06:40,663 --> 00:06:42,703
Oh, not for some years.

106
00:06:42,703 --> 00:06:44,863
But we kept in regular touch.

107
00:06:44,863 --> 00:06:47,503
Why do you think he would send this
to you?

108
00:06:47,503 --> 00:06:50,743
Perhaps he thought someone may wish
to take it from him?

109
00:06:50,743 --> 00:06:53,103
A list of meaningless surnames?

110
00:06:53,103 --> 00:06:55,183
They meant something to Father
Gorman,

111
00:06:55,183 --> 00:06:57,983
and presumably to someone else.

112
00:06:57,983 --> 00:07:03,503
The newspaper said he'd been called
out to attend a dying woman

113
00:07:03,503 --> 00:07:07,463
shortly before he was attacked.
- Mrs Davis? That's right.

114
00:07:07,463 --> 00:07:10,103
You've questioned her neighbours
presumably?

115
00:07:10,103 --> 00:07:12,343
Her fellow tenants, yes.

116
00:07:12,343 --> 00:07:15,183
23 Benthall Street is a lodging
house

117
00:07:15,183 --> 00:07:17,263
run by a woman called Coppins.

118
00:07:17,263 --> 00:07:20,303
It's just that, I know from my own
experience,

119
00:07:20,303 --> 00:07:24,663
that people don't always realise the
value of what they have seen.

120
00:07:24,663 --> 00:07:28,103
We have done this sort of thing
before, Miss Marple.

121
00:07:28,103 --> 00:07:30,023
Of course. Forgive me. It's just...

122
00:07:30,983 --> 00:07:33,103
Father Gorman was such a good man.

123
00:07:34,463 --> 00:07:37,543
It's hard to imagine why anyone would
want to hurt him.

124
00:07:37,543 --> 00:07:40,063
Things have changed, Miss Marple.

125
00:07:40,063 --> 00:07:43,143
Goodness doesn't seem to count for
very much any more.

126
00:07:43,143 --> 00:07:45,503
It's an unforgiving world.

127
00:07:45,503 --> 00:07:48,103
And the city is a long way from
country life.

128
00:07:49,703 --> 00:07:53,863
Of course, it is possible, isn't it, that
the dying woman told him something?

129
00:07:53,863 --> 00:07:57,950
Perhaps he had to get those names down
on paper as soon as he could,

130
00:07:57,950 --> 00:07:59,983
before he forgot them?

131
00:07:59,983 --> 00:08:03,863
Anything's possible, of course. It's
what makes my job so interesting.

132
00:08:03,863 --> 00:08:07,543
I'm sorry to have put you to any
bother. No bother at all.

133
00:08:07,543 --> 00:08:09,903
Very public spirited of you
to come forward.

134
00:08:09,903 --> 00:08:12,343
Father Gorman was a good friend.

135
00:08:12,343 --> 00:08:15,863
- He should have justice.
- He will, I promise.

136
00:08:15,863 --> 00:08:18,063
We'll find him.

137
00:08:18,063 --> 00:08:20,430
In the meantime, try not to trouble
yourself.

138
00:08:20,430 --> 00:08:21,823
No. Goodbye.

139
00:08:21,823 --> 00:08:22,903
Goodbye.

140
00:08:32,263 --> 00:08:34,423
The officer said Paddington Station.

141
00:08:34,423 --> 00:08:36,343
Yes, thank you.

142
00:08:51,063 --> 00:08:52,503
Driver?

143
00:08:53,863 --> 00:08:56,063
She was all right Monday week.

144
00:08:56,063 --> 00:08:59,063
She was all right when the gas man
come on the Tuesday.

145
00:08:59,063 --> 00:09:01,143
She was all right on wash day.

146
00:09:01,143 --> 00:09:03,543
Then... That's right.

147
00:09:03,543 --> 00:09:05,663
She come down with the flu.

148
00:09:05,663 --> 00:09:08,783
I told her to rest up, but she would
go out.

149
00:09:08,783 --> 00:09:10,663
It settled on her lungs.

150
00:09:11,543 --> 00:09:15,063
Well, what did she do, Mrs Davis?

151
00:09:15,063 --> 00:09:17,743
Till about a month ago,

152
00:09:17,743 --> 00:09:21,063
I think it was customer relations.

153
00:09:21,063 --> 00:09:22,943
Or research.

154
00:09:22,943 --> 00:09:24,623
Some such.

155
00:09:40,223 --> 00:09:42,743
Had she been with you long,
Mrs Davis?

156
00:09:42,743 --> 00:09:46,063
About six months. Paid her rent
regular.

157
00:09:46,063 --> 00:09:49,183
Seemed like a nice, quiet,
respectable person.

158
00:09:49,183 --> 00:09:52,503
Though what more I can tell you,
I'm sure I don't know.

159
00:09:52,503 --> 00:09:54,983
Not that I wouldn't be willing to
help, if I could.

160
00:09:54,983 --> 00:09:57,423
Well, thank you, but I do need help.

161
00:09:58,943 --> 00:10:03,263
Women know. They feel instinctively
so much more than a man can know.

162
00:10:03,263 --> 00:10:05,383
Don't you think?

163
00:10:05,383 --> 00:10:08,783
When you brought Father Gorman
to her,

164
00:10:08,783 --> 00:10:12,903
was there anything they said that was
perhaps odd to you?

165
00:10:14,263 --> 00:10:16,183
Not odd so much as...

166
00:10:17,143 --> 00:10:19,983
I heard her say something about
wickedness.

167
00:10:19,983 --> 00:10:22,143
Wickedness? Did she?

168
00:10:22,143 --> 00:10:25,863
Yes... They have to confess, don't
they, Romans?

169
00:10:25,863 --> 00:10:27,823
Before they die.

170
00:10:27,823 --> 00:10:29,943
So I suppose that was it.

171
00:10:29,943 --> 00:10:31,983
Was she an unhappy woman, do you
think?

172
00:10:31,983 --> 00:10:33,983
I wouldn't say so.

173
00:10:33,983 --> 00:10:36,863
Business-like, she was. Methodical.

174
00:10:36,863 --> 00:10:38,863
But nothing worrying her that you
knew of?

175
00:10:38,863 --> 00:10:40,583
No, no.

176
00:10:40,583 --> 00:10:41,583
No.

177
00:10:43,143 --> 00:10:44,543
But...

178
00:10:44,543 --> 00:10:46,583
there was that one time.

179
00:10:46,583 --> 00:10:48,863
About a month ago,

180
00:10:48,863 --> 00:10:52,143
she was in the hall by the mirror
putting a coat on for work.

181
00:10:52,143 --> 00:10:54,343
<i>If things aren't all they should be,

182
00:10:54,343 --> 00:10:56,503
<i>it's better not to know, don't you
agree?

183
00:10:57,383 --> 00:10:59,303
<i>I'm sure that's right, dear.

184
00:11:00,383 --> 00:11:03,663
<i><i>Everything I've done has always been
perfectly straightforward.

185
00:11:03,663 --> 00:11:05,903
I have nothing to reproach myself
with.

186
00:11:05,903 --> 00:11:07,703
'What do you think she
meant?'

187
00:11:07,703 --> 00:11:09,943
'I've no idea.

188
00:11:09,943 --> 00:11:13,303
It struck me at the time as being a
queer thing to say.'

189
00:11:13,303 --> 00:11:15,343
But people do come out with 'em.

190
00:11:15,343 --> 00:11:17,063
Oh, yes.

191
00:11:17,063 --> 00:11:18,983
Yes, they do.

192
00:11:20,383 --> 00:11:21,503
Yes...

193
00:11:54,183 --> 00:11:57,863
The Pale Horse.

194
00:12:19,030 --> 00:12:20,750
- Mr Osborne?
- Yes.

195
00:12:20,750 --> 00:12:23,950
Jane Marple. I wonder if I might
bother you for a moment?

196
00:12:23,950 --> 00:12:27,470
Mrs Coppins said you were waiting in
the street

197
00:12:27,470 --> 00:12:30,190
for the ambulance that attended to
Mrs Davis.

198
00:12:30,190 --> 00:12:32,230
That's right. Jolly cold it was,
too.

199
00:12:32,230 --> 00:12:35,110
Were you a friend of Mrs Davis?
Thank you.

200
00:12:35,110 --> 00:12:37,630
No, of Father Gorman.
The priest who...?

201
00:12:38,670 --> 00:12:41,270
Oh, I see. Yes, of course.
My condolences.

202
00:12:41,270 --> 00:12:46,270
Thank you. I wondered, perhaps had
you seen anyone loitering about,

203
00:12:46,270 --> 00:12:48,470
watching the house?

204
00:12:48,470 --> 00:12:50,430
- Well, I did see someone.
- Oh?

205
00:12:51,270 --> 00:12:53,470
He was tall.

206
00:12:53,470 --> 00:12:57,590
About 50-ish. Wore his hair rather
long underneath his trilby.

207
00:12:57,590 --> 00:13:00,750
Oh, he had a sort of half-moon scar
about here.

208
00:13:00,750 --> 00:13:03,750
Oh, yes? He struck a match
to light a cigarette.

209
00:13:03,750 --> 00:13:05,510
- That's how I noticed.
- What was he doing?

210
00:13:05,510 --> 00:13:08,310
Just standing on a corner, smoking.

211
00:13:09,430 --> 00:13:12,750
Then the ambulance arrived, and I
got rather caught up in all that.

212
00:13:12,750 --> 00:13:15,230
- Did you tell the police?
- I mentioned it to the constable.

213
00:13:15,230 --> 00:13:17,550
Not that he paid it much mind.

214
00:13:17,550 --> 00:13:20,750
They seem to think it's a straightforward
case with Father Gorman. Robbery.

215
00:13:20,750 --> 00:13:22,710
Yes. Yes, they do, don't they?

216
00:13:23,950 --> 00:13:26,910
You don't? Well, you see,
on the night he died,

217
00:13:26,910 --> 00:13:29,590
Father Gorman sent me a letter.

218
00:13:29,590 --> 00:13:32,590
- He did?
-Just a list of names, for the most part.

219
00:13:32,590 --> 00:13:35,950
Well, I shan't keep you any longer,
Mr Osborne.

220
00:13:35,950 --> 00:13:40,030
- I've disturbed you enough as it is.
- Oh, hardly, no.

221
00:13:40,030 --> 00:13:42,390
I'm just typing up my sales report
for the office.

222
00:13:43,870 --> 00:13:47,070
- Well, thank you, Mr Osborne.
- Oh, not at all.

223
00:13:47,070 --> 00:13:49,110
If there's anything else I can do?

224
00:13:49,110 --> 00:13:50,550
Oh...

225
00:13:51,790 --> 00:13:54,830
You know, as a matter of fact,

226
00:13:54,830 --> 00:13:56,870
I rather think there is.

227
00:13:56,870 --> 00:13:59,230
Ormerod, Sandford.

228
00:13:59,230 --> 00:14:01,270
Plenty of those.

229
00:14:01,270 --> 00:14:03,230
Parkinson.

230
00:14:03,230 --> 00:14:05,230
Not uncommon.

231
00:14:05,230 --> 00:14:09,230
Hesketh-Dubois. That's a bit of a
mouthful. Can't be many of them.

232
00:14:09,230 --> 00:14:11,110
Hesketh, Hesketh...

233
00:14:15,750 --> 00:14:18,470
Ah, here we are! Hesketh-Dubois.

234
00:14:18,470 --> 00:14:21,430
Lady, no less. Only one in the book.

235
00:14:21,430 --> 00:14:25,230
Outside line, please.
Grosvenor 6457.

236
00:14:26,990 --> 00:14:29,630
Engaged.

237
00:14:29,630 --> 00:14:33,590
Oh, good afternoon, is that Lady
Hesketh-Dubois' house? - Yes.

238
00:14:33,590 --> 00:14:35,990
May I speak with her, please?

239
00:14:37,230 --> 00:14:39,270
Lady Hesketh-Dubois passed away.

240
00:14:39,270 --> 00:14:41,870
"Oh, I'm sorry. When was that?"

241
00:14:41,870 --> 00:14:43,830
Six months ago, early this year.

242
00:14:45,390 --> 00:14:47,590
Um, to whom am I speaking, please?

243
00:14:48,670 --> 00:14:50,670
This is Mr Mark Easterbrook.

244
00:14:50,670 --> 00:14:53,230
I wonder, could you tell me,

245
00:14:53,230 --> 00:14:55,380
do you remember her ever mentioning

246
00:14:55,380 --> 00:14:58,350
a place called The Pale Horse
in Much Deeping?

247
00:14:58,350 --> 00:15:00,310
"Not to my knowledge, no."

248
00:15:00,310 --> 00:15:02,510
No, no, I see.

249
00:15:02,510 --> 00:15:04,590
Well, I'm so sorry to have troubled
you.

250
00:15:04,590 --> 00:15:06,750
Thank you very much. Bye.

251
00:15:16,630 --> 00:15:19,150
It's such a desolate spot.

252
00:15:19,150 --> 00:15:22,070
- I shouldn't have brought you here.
- I asked you to.

253
00:15:22,070 --> 00:15:25,870
- All the same.
- No, thank you for coming with me.

254
00:15:25,870 --> 00:15:31,830
I don't think I should have had the
courage to come here on my own.

255
00:15:31,830 --> 00:15:35,750
Somehow I doubt that. You seem quite
brave indeed.

256
00:15:35,750 --> 00:15:39,150
I don't know about brave, but one
must face things as they are.

257
00:15:40,590 --> 00:15:44,310
The truth, however awful, can never
be as bad as...

258
00:15:45,430 --> 00:15:47,470
..one's imaginings.

259
00:15:47,470 --> 00:15:49,190
I suppose not.

260
00:15:53,590 --> 00:15:55,790
Did you know her well, Mrs Davis?

261
00:15:55,790 --> 00:15:58,030
Only to nod to in the hall,
I'm afraid.

262
00:15:58,030 --> 00:16:01,150
She seemed perfectly nice, though.
What makes you ask?

263
00:16:01,150 --> 00:16:04,910
I just wondered if you'd ever heard
her mention The Pale Horse.

264
00:16:04,910 --> 00:16:07,030
A pale horse? No. No, I don't
think...

265
00:16:07,030 --> 00:16:09,990
Not, not a pale horse, THE Pale
Horse.

266
00:16:09,990 --> 00:16:12,710
I can't say as I did. What is it?

267
00:16:12,710 --> 00:16:16,230
Well, I believe it's a little hotel,

268
00:16:16,230 --> 00:16:18,430
an inn of some kind

269
00:16:18,430 --> 00:16:20,870
in a little village
called Much Deeping

270
00:16:20,870 --> 00:16:22,750
in Hampshire.

271
00:16:45,310 --> 00:16:47,110
Oh, hello?

272
00:16:47,110 --> 00:16:49,030
Hello?

273
00:17:33,990 --> 00:17:36,950
Will you be staying with us long,
Miss...?

274
00:17:38,190 --> 00:17:41,630
Marple?
A few days, I think, Miss...?

275
00:17:41,630 --> 00:17:45,470
Stamfordis. You're down for the
burning, are you?

276
00:17:45,470 --> 00:17:47,470
The...?
The burning.

277
00:17:47,470 --> 00:17:49,910
Each year, the village celebrates
the witch trials.

278
00:17:49,910 --> 00:17:51,710
1664.

279
00:17:51,710 --> 00:17:54,150
It does tend to draw the crowds.

280
00:17:54,150 --> 00:17:55,710
Ghouls.

281
00:17:55,710 --> 00:17:58,830
I can't say I approve, but it helps
keep us afloat.

282
00:17:59,990 --> 00:18:03,470
Thyrza Grey,
proprietrix of The Pale Horse.

283
00:18:03,470 --> 00:18:05,590
Jane Marple, how do you do?

284
00:18:05,590 --> 00:18:08,190
Room five, please, Sybil.

285
00:18:08,190 --> 00:18:10,070
Bella will take your luggage.

286
00:18:16,030 --> 00:18:18,470
Oooh!
Good afternoon, Captain Cottam.

287
00:18:18,470 --> 00:18:20,230
Afternoon.
Mrs Cottam.

288
00:18:20,230 --> 00:18:23,630
Settling in comfortably, I hope.
Yes, quite comfortably, thank you.

289
00:18:23,630 --> 00:18:26,430
Your cleaner, Bella, isn't it?

290
00:18:26,430 --> 00:18:29,590
Well, she came in yesterday to do
the room.

291
00:18:29,590 --> 00:18:30,830
Yes?

292
00:18:30,830 --> 00:18:34,070
Well, we had the "Do not disturb"
sign on the door.

293
00:18:34,070 --> 00:18:36,790
My husband likes to take a nap
between two and four...

294
00:18:36,790 --> 00:18:38,750
I'll speak to her about it,
of course.

295
00:18:38,750 --> 00:18:40,350
Thank you.

296
00:18:40,350 --> 00:18:42,510
See? You only have to ask.

297
00:18:42,510 --> 00:18:44,950
Captain and Mrs Cottam are local
residents.

298
00:18:44,950 --> 00:18:47,750
Rather awfully,
they had a fire last week.

299
00:18:47,750 --> 00:18:49,910
Oh, dear. Yes, I see.

300
00:18:49,910 --> 00:18:52,870
How unfortunate.
Yes, so they're staying here

301
00:18:52,870 --> 00:18:57,150
with their housekeeper, Mrs Harsnet,
until their place is repaired.

302
00:18:57,150 --> 00:18:59,350
We're giving them a rate, of course.

303
00:19:08,310 --> 00:19:09,590
Flight?

304
00:19:09,590 --> 00:19:12,390
Mr Easterbrook?
Yes.

305
00:19:12,390 --> 00:19:14,870
Lejeune, sir. Frank Lejeune.

306
00:19:14,870 --> 00:19:17,390
Six months served in the squadron.
Lejeune!

307
00:19:17,390 --> 00:19:21,750
Well, I never! Hello, old man.
How are you? Very well, thank you.

308
00:19:21,750 --> 00:19:23,990
Well, well, well. Good old Frank.

309
00:19:23,990 --> 00:19:26,430
What are you up to these days?

310
00:19:26,430 --> 00:19:29,350
- I'm a police inspector.
- Heavens! There's a thing.

311
00:19:29,350 --> 00:19:31,710
For my sins.
Well, other people's surely?

312
00:19:31,710 --> 00:19:35,390
As often as not. I read your
articles now and again.

313
00:19:35,390 --> 00:19:36,990
- Oh, do you?
- I enjoy them very much.

314
00:19:36,990 --> 00:19:39,150
That's good of you to say so.

315
00:19:40,350 --> 00:19:44,910
It's probably too late to say now,
but I was very sorry about your wife.

316
00:19:44,910 --> 00:19:46,710
Thanks. That was...

317
00:19:47,950 --> 00:19:50,270
So, what brings you down here?

318
00:19:50,270 --> 00:19:53,990
Well, I was hoping to have a quick word with
Lady Hesketh-Dubois. She does live here?

319
00:19:53,990 --> 00:19:55,630
She did.

320
00:19:55,630 --> 00:19:57,830
Why? What's all this about?

321
00:19:57,830 --> 00:19:59,990
Just following a lead.

322
00:19:59,990 --> 00:20:02,750
Well, I'm sure I can tell you what
you need to know.

323
00:20:02,750 --> 00:20:05,110
- She was my godmother.
- Was?

324
00:20:05,110 --> 00:20:06,950
She died, quite recently.

325
00:20:08,230 --> 00:20:10,270
Is something wrong?

326
00:20:10,270 --> 00:20:12,630
That's what I'm hoping to find out.

327
00:20:16,070 --> 00:20:18,230
What brings you to Much Deeping,
Miss Marple?

328
00:20:19,470 --> 00:20:23,470
Outside of the burning, I'm afraid
we have very few visitors these days.

329
00:20:23,470 --> 00:20:26,510
- Oh, really?
- It was different in the old days.

330
00:20:26,510 --> 00:20:30,270
There was a regular clientele,
commercial travellers and the like.

331
00:20:30,270 --> 00:20:33,510
But since the bypass went through,

332
00:20:33,510 --> 00:20:36,470
I'm afraid we've become something of
a backwater.

333
00:20:36,470 --> 00:20:38,390
Oh, indeed? That is a shame.

334
00:20:39,950 --> 00:20:42,150
Oh, how did I...?

335
00:20:42,150 --> 00:20:45,390
Well, actually, The Pale Horse was a
recommendation.

336
00:20:45,390 --> 00:20:46,710
Indeed?

337
00:20:46,710 --> 00:20:48,990
Might I ask from whom?

338
00:20:48,990 --> 00:20:50,710
You might ask.

339
00:20:50,710 --> 00:20:52,910
As you wish.

340
00:20:52,910 --> 00:20:56,390
Oh, no. Please, no, nothing
mysterious at all.

341
00:20:56,390 --> 00:20:58,830
It's just a friend of a friend.

342
00:20:58,830 --> 00:21:02,430
I'm afraid when you get to my age,
names...

343
00:21:02,430 --> 00:21:04,470
Quite hard to place, Miss Grey.

344
00:21:05,430 --> 00:21:07,150
Of course.

345
00:21:07,150 --> 00:21:11,390
And it's Mrs Grey. At least it was.
He died.

346
00:21:11,390 --> 00:21:13,990
Oh, I'm very sorry.
Oh, well...

347
00:21:13,990 --> 00:21:17,150
Now, the first sitting for supper is
usually at 7.30.

348
00:21:17,150 --> 00:21:19,870
Though, with the burning,

349
00:21:19,870 --> 00:21:23,710
this evening, we're laying on a
running buffet from seven in the lounge.

350
00:21:23,710 --> 00:21:25,310
I see.

351
00:21:25,310 --> 00:21:27,470
It's tonight, then, is it,
the burning?

352
00:21:28,670 --> 00:21:30,110
It is.

353
00:21:34,590 --> 00:21:36,750
If there's anything else you
require,

354
00:21:36,750 --> 00:21:38,870
anything at all...

355
00:21:40,030 --> 00:21:42,710
..the telephone will connect you
with reception.

356
00:21:45,110 --> 00:21:48,790
In the meantime, I hope you have a
very pleasant stay.

357
00:21:48,790 --> 00:21:50,910
Oh, I shall. Thank you. Yes.

358
00:21:50,910 --> 00:21:52,830
Indeed. Thank you.

359
00:22:27,510 --> 00:22:30,510
Hesketh-Dubois - deceased.

360
00:22:30,510 --> 00:22:34,710
Seriously, Lejeune, do you really think this ~
has a bearing on the death of Father Gorman?

361
00:22:34,710 --> 00:22:36,390
Possibly.

362
00:22:36,390 --> 00:22:39,390
Supposing that's the connection?

363
00:22:39,390 --> 00:22:40,630
What?

364
00:22:40,630 --> 00:22:42,510
You mean they're all dead?

365
00:22:44,230 --> 00:22:45,270
Hmmm.

366
00:22:46,310 --> 00:22:50,230
Shaw. Harmondsworth. Tuckerton.

367
00:22:50,230 --> 00:22:54,470
Let us take a few moments to
remember Thomasina Tuckerton.

368
00:23:12,490 --> 00:23:14,770
Mrs Tuckerton!

369
00:23:14,770 --> 00:23:18,930
Where were you, Mrs Tuckerton?
She needed you. I tried to track you down.

370
00:23:18,930 --> 00:23:22,570
Stop it, Ginger! You're not family
and this is none of your business.

371
00:23:22,570 --> 00:23:25,010
Mrs Tuckerton!

372
00:23:37,849 --> 00:23:40,449
<i>Oh, Miss Marple,
what can I do for you?</i>

373
00:23:40,449 --> 00:23:43,449
I thought it would be useful to your
enquiry

374
00:23:43,449 --> 00:23:47,809
to know that Lady Hesketh-Dubois, one
of the names on Father Gorman's list,

375
00:23:47,809 --> 00:23:49,849
died six months ago.

376
00:23:49,849 --> 00:23:51,969
<i>Of an inflammation of the brain.</i>

377
00:23:51,969 --> 00:23:54,169
- Oh, you know, then?
<i>- Yes, I know.</i>

378
00:23:54,180 --> 00:23:55,940
Rather more to the point,
how do you?

379
00:23:55,959 --> 00:23:57,479
Oh, my.

380
00:23:57,529 --> 00:24:02,009
Oh, I telephoned her house yesterday
and I spoke to a man called Mr. Easterbrook.

381
00:24:02,009 --> 00:24:04,289
Mark Easterbrook, her godson.

382
00:24:04,289 --> 00:24:06,769
- Oh, you've seen him?
- Yes, I've seen him.

383
00:24:06,769 --> 00:24:09,169
I know him, actually. Well, knew
him.

384
00:24:09,169 --> 00:24:11,369
He was one of the best.

385
00:24:11,369 --> 00:24:15,969
Flew Lancs during the war, which is
how we met. I was ground crew.

386
00:24:15,969 --> 00:24:18,369
<i>He's a historian now in English
folklore.</i>

387
00:24:18,369 --> 00:24:19,809
Is he?

388
00:24:19,809 --> 00:24:21,809
Oh, is he now?

389
00:24:21,809 --> 00:24:24,889
Miss Marple, I understand that
Father Gorman was a friend.

390
00:24:24,889 --> 00:24:27,169
But this is a police matter.

391
00:24:27,169 --> 00:24:30,569
Oh, yes, absolutely.
Absolutely, Inspector.

392
00:24:30,569 --> 00:24:35,049
It's just... she was a woman of means,
I could imagine.

393
00:24:35,049 --> 00:24:38,649
Considerable means.
Now, really, I must get on.

394
00:24:38,649 --> 00:24:41,809
And, please, if there are any
further developments,

395
00:24:41,809 --> 00:24:43,729
I will let you know.

396
00:25:05,089 --> 00:25:07,369
Sandford, 12th September.

397
00:25:11,329 --> 00:25:13,129
Tuckerton.

398
00:25:13,129 --> 00:25:15,609
Is there something
I can help you with?

399
00:25:17,049 --> 00:25:20,009
I was just wondering how busy you
were in the spring?

400
00:25:22,569 --> 00:25:25,569
You were thinking
of coming back so soon?

401
00:25:25,569 --> 00:25:28,849
It is such a lovely spot, even at
this time of year.

402
00:25:28,849 --> 00:25:32,609
Well, we like it. Yes, have you been
here long, Miss Stamfordis?

403
00:25:32,609 --> 00:25:35,289
Yes, we've been here seven...

404
00:25:35,289 --> 00:25:38,129
No, eight years.

405
00:25:38,129 --> 00:25:41,609
Thyrza and I bought the freehold in
April '47.

406
00:25:41,609 --> 00:25:44,569
We'd seen it the previous year on a
walking tour.

407
00:25:44,569 --> 00:25:47,929
Really? Did you? But at the time,
it wasn't for sale.

408
00:25:47,929 --> 00:25:51,489
Do you think it would be beyond the
realms of possibility that I might
get a drink?

409
00:25:51,489 --> 00:25:53,649
Is Mrs Grey not in the bar?

410
00:25:53,649 --> 00:25:56,569
Not unless you've cast an
invisibility spell on her.

411
00:25:56,569 --> 00:25:58,169
Apologies.

412
00:26:09,929 --> 00:26:11,409
Hello!

413
00:26:11,409 --> 00:26:13,529
Need some help?

414
00:26:13,529 --> 00:26:16,569
Is this the way to Much Deeping?
I hope so, Miss...?

415
00:26:16,569 --> 00:26:19,969
Corrigan. Ginger Corrigan.
Mark Easterbrook.

416
00:26:19,969 --> 00:26:22,209
I need to get to The Pale Horse.

417
00:26:22,209 --> 00:26:24,849
Me, too. Would you care for a lift?
Er, yes.

418
00:26:42,569 --> 00:26:45,289
I'm afraid Mr Venables can be
something of a Tartar

419
00:26:45,289 --> 00:26:48,369
if he doesn't get what he wants
exactly when he wants it.

420
00:26:48,369 --> 00:26:52,609
I expect it's on account of his...
(WHISPERS) ..polio.

421
00:26:52,609 --> 00:26:54,729
Something I can get you?

422
00:26:54,729 --> 00:26:57,609
A blackcurrant cordial would be nice,
thank you.

(DOG GROWLS)

424
00:27:00,689 --> 00:27:03,769
Damn it, Cottam, I've warned you
before about your bloody animal.

425
00:27:03,769 --> 00:27:05,649
Steady on, good dog.

426
00:27:05,649 --> 00:27:08,609
If I see it around my place again,
I won't be responsible...

427
00:27:08,609 --> 00:27:11,449
Like you wouldn't be responsible for
the fire at my house? What?

428
00:27:11,449 --> 00:27:14,329
I'm not going to sell, no matter
what tricks you get up to.

429
00:27:14,329 --> 00:27:17,729
What are you talking about?
You might have money, Venables.

430
00:27:17,729 --> 00:27:20,889
And good luck to you. But it doesn't
mean you can have what you want.

431
00:27:20,889 --> 00:27:25,249
All I'm saying is, I wish you'd keep
your bloody dog under control.
The bitch is a menace.

432
00:27:25,249 --> 00:27:28,329
I know you've had a few, but watch
your language in front of my wife.

433
00:27:28,329 --> 00:27:30,169
My apologies.
Right.

434
00:27:33,729 --> 00:27:37,249
Mrs Harsnet not joining you for a
constitutional today?

435
00:27:44,409 --> 00:27:46,489
Sorry, never a dull moment.

436
00:27:46,489 --> 00:27:48,209
Oh...

437
00:27:48,209 --> 00:27:51,929
You were going to tell me about how
you and Mrs Grey came to The Pale
Horse.

438
00:27:53,169 --> 00:27:55,369
It was a bad winter.

439
00:27:55,369 --> 00:27:57,769
The village had been cut off by
snow.

440
00:27:57,769 --> 00:28:00,409
And the landlord's wife...
Yes?

441
00:28:04,009 --> 00:28:06,769
He'd been called to Market Basing,
you see,
the landlord.

442
00:28:06,769 --> 00:28:08,689
Had he? Yes, I see.

443
00:28:08,689 --> 00:28:12,929
Found her at the bottom of the
stairs. A fall, they said.

444
00:28:12,929 --> 00:28:16,249
But I should think it was the cold
that did for her in the end.

445
00:28:16,249 --> 00:28:19,849
How terrible.
All that time in the dark.

446
00:28:19,849 --> 00:28:21,929
And the pain.

447
00:28:21,929 --> 00:28:24,489
Well, a broken pelvis.

448
00:28:24,489 --> 00:28:26,329
You can imagine.

449
00:28:26,329 --> 00:28:28,489
The cold seeping into her.

450
00:28:29,889 --> 00:28:32,089
Come the thaw, he put the place on
the market.

451
00:28:32,089 --> 00:28:33,969
And here you are.
Yes.

00:28:58,809 --> 00:29:01,529
Ah, Miss Marple. You well?
Yes, very well, thank you.

456
00:29:01,529 --> 00:29:04,129
It really is the most extraordinary
place.

457
00:29:04,129 --> 00:29:07,329
Did you find what you were looking
for? No, no, nothing yet.

458
00:29:07,329 --> 00:29:11,969
But there is someone in the village
I'd very much like you to see.

Yes, it is.

Quite something. Mr...?

Corrigan? Ginger, hello.

It's my first time in Much Deeping.
Thrilling, isn't it?

My wife, Kanga.

470
00:29:50,089 --> 00:29:52,809
My housekeeper, Lydia Harsnet.
How do you do?

471
00:29:52,809 --> 00:29:54,889
You live here or are you down
for the burning?

Locals, albeit displaced ones.

00:29:57,009 --> 00:29:59,329
We had a fire last week, so we're
billeted at the inn.

might care to see, Mr Easterbrook.

Paid for by the villagers in
remembrance of Goody Carne.

490
00:30:45,209 --> 00:30:49,329
Mrs Harsnet's late husband was vicar
of our little parish. Made a study
of it all.

Well, it's Goody Carne

whose memory the villagers are
honouring tonight.

493
00:30:54,929 --> 00:30:58,369
The witch?
She was accused by the squire

494
00:30:58,369 --> 00:31:00,969
of having unnatural traffic with the
Devil.

495
00:31:00,969 --> 00:31:03,649
She was. Although, in truth,

496
00:31:03,649 --> 00:31:05,849
I think the squire was really after
her land.

497
00:31:05,849 --> 00:31:09,129
She was tried, found guilty, and
hanged.

498
00:31:09,129 --> 00:31:12,489
From the old willow tree over there.

499
00:31:12,489 --> 00:31:14,689
Burnt at the stake, surely?

500
00:31:14,689 --> 00:31:17,889
COTTAM: Actually, the vast majority
of witches were hanged.

501
00:31:17,889 --> 00:31:20,569
And it wasn't the clean drop used
nowadays, I can tell you.

502
00:31:20,569 --> 00:31:24,689
Ru, must you? Don't know if you've
ever seen anyone being throttled?

503
00:31:24,689 --> 00:31:28,249
Might be about to. Not a pretty
sight, is all I was going to say.

00:32:22,689 --> 00:32:26,729
Miss Grey, I remember now who it was
who recommended The Pale Horse.

515
00:32:26,729 --> 00:32:29,089
A Miss Tuckerton, could it be?

516
00:32:29,089 --> 00:32:31,249
Mrs Tuckerton?

517
00:32:31,249 --> 00:32:33,649
Yes, yes, I'm sure that's what the
name was.

518
00:32:33,649 --> 00:32:36,009
Ah.
Well, good night, then.

519
00:32:36,009 --> 00:32:37,489
Good night.

520
00:32:37,489 --> 00:32:39,409
Oh, Miss Marple!

521
00:32:40,529 --> 00:32:44,449
I wonder, I'm due to call on Roger
Venables tomorrow for lunch.

522
00:32:44,449 --> 00:32:47,169
Perhaps you'd like to join me?
Oh, Mr Venables.

523
00:32:47,169 --> 00:32:49,929
You'd be doing me a favour. He can
be a crusty old devil.

524
00:32:49,929 --> 00:32:53,689
But my husband was fond of him and
I'm trying to carry on his good
work,

525
00:32:53,689 --> 00:32:56,089
make him part of our little
community, as it were.

526
00:32:56,089 --> 00:32:59,009
In that case, yes, of course, I'd be
delighted. Hurrah!

527
00:32:59,009 --> 00:33:01,569
I'd be grateful if you didn't
mention it to Ru...

528
00:33:01,569 --> 00:33:03,729
Captain and Mrs Cottam.

529
00:33:03,729 --> 00:33:06,489
they don't really get on
with Mr Venables. So I gathered.

530
00:33:06,489 --> 00:33:09,449
They wouldn't like it if they
thought I'd been fraternising.

531
00:33:09,449 --> 00:33:12,249
Of course, of course.
Good night, then.

532
00:33:51,689 --> 00:33:53,569
(COCK CROWS)

533
00:34:07,049 --> 00:34:08,929
Good morning, Mrs Grey.
Ah!

534
00:34:10,849 --> 00:34:14,329
I think perhaps you have some gift
for clairvoyance.

535
00:34:14,329 --> 00:34:17,369
Oh, nothing so exotic, I'm afraid.

536
00:34:17,369 --> 00:34:19,569
Just a keen sense of smell.

537
00:34:19,569 --> 00:34:23,529
Well, unless I'm much mistaken,
that's Eau de Lys you're wearing?

538
00:34:28,169 --> 00:34:30,329
I hope you'll forgive me,

539
00:34:30,329 --> 00:34:32,929
but I had the idea -
Bella had it, too -

540
00:34:32,929 --> 00:34:35,289
that you might need us?

541
00:34:36,689 --> 00:34:39,009
Need you, Mrs Grey?

542
00:34:39,009 --> 00:34:42,009
Sybil thinks you came here
to find us.

543
00:34:42,009 --> 00:34:44,089
She's seldom at fault.

544
00:34:44,089 --> 00:34:46,769
Why would I want to find you?

545
00:34:46,769 --> 00:34:49,209
That I do not know, yet.

546
00:34:49,209 --> 00:34:51,409
But I shall.

547
00:34:51,409 --> 00:34:53,289
Rely on it.

548
00:35:03,089 --> 00:35:04,329
Paul?

549
00:35:16,609 --> 00:35:18,809
Last night, at the burning,

550
00:35:18,809 --> 00:35:20,849
you're sure it was him?

551
00:35:20,849 --> 00:35:23,049
Mr Venables?

552
00:35:23,049 --> 00:35:26,089
Yeah, though God knows what he's
done to himself since.

553
00:35:26,089 --> 00:35:28,089
Oh, the wheelchair.

554
00:35:28,089 --> 00:35:30,329
From what I can gather,

555
00:35:30,329 --> 00:35:32,929
he's been unable to walk for some
years.

556
00:35:32,929 --> 00:35:34,209
Really?

557
00:35:35,129 --> 00:35:37,009
You're sure?

558
00:35:37,009 --> 00:35:39,249
I could have sworn that was the man
I saw.

559
00:35:39,249 --> 00:35:41,609
Could you have been mistaken,
perhaps?

560
00:35:43,529 --> 00:35:45,689
I could have. It's possible.

561
00:35:45,689 --> 00:35:49,209
Unless he has a twin brother.

562
00:35:49,209 --> 00:35:52,249
In fiction, perhaps. But in real
life, it doesn't happen.

563
00:35:52,249 --> 00:35:54,409
It really doesn't.
No.

564
00:35:54,409 --> 00:35:56,289
I expect not.

565
00:35:57,449 --> 00:36:01,049
I'm sorry. I can't help but feel
like I've wasted your time.

566
00:36:01,049 --> 00:36:03,649
Oh, no, please, don't think that.
Not at all.

567
00:36:03,649 --> 00:36:06,409
Your Father Gorman,

568
00:36:06,409 --> 00:36:08,449
someone should answer for him.

569
00:36:08,449 --> 00:36:11,889
They will.

570
00:36:16,975 --> 00:36:21,015
And I think it's possible that
Mrs Davis may have visited The Pale
Horse.

571
00:36:21,015 --> 00:36:23,335
"And what makes you think that?"

572
00:36:23,335 --> 00:36:27,415
I found a list of names which match
those sent to me by Father Gorman

573
00:36:27,415 --> 00:36:31,535
concealed in one of Mrs Davis's
shoes, of all places.

574
00:36:31,535 --> 00:36:33,575
Miss Marple, that's evidence!

575
00:36:33,575 --> 00:36:35,775
Oh, it is, inspector.

576
00:36:35,775 --> 00:36:40,295
But, more importantly, that list was
written on headed notepaper

577
00:36:40,295 --> 00:36:42,295
from the Pale Horse.

578
00:36:42,295 --> 00:36:46,255
Please, don't tell me you've taken
it upon yourself to go down there?

579
00:36:46,255 --> 00:36:48,695
I'm afraid that would be an untruth.

580
00:36:48,695 --> 00:36:53,135
But you see, the names on Mrs Davis's
list have dates beside them

581
00:36:53,135 --> 00:36:56,455
which match certain entries in the
hotel register.

582
00:36:56,455 --> 00:37:00,455
Do they? Well, I certainly think
you might be onto something.

583
00:37:00,455 --> 00:37:04,695
Oh, do you think so? I do.
But, please, do nothing further.

584
00:37:04,695 --> 00:37:06,855
I'm sorry, Inspector,
it's a very bad line.

585
00:37:06,855 --> 00:37:09,015
I didn't quite catch that.

586
00:37:09,015 --> 00:37:12,135
Oh, there go the pips. I haven't any
more money to put in.

587
00:37:12,135 --> 00:37:13,295
Miss Marple...

588
00:37:16,935 --> 00:37:18,975
(DOG WHINES)
Good morning.

589
00:37:18,975 --> 00:37:21,255
The vet's just gone. Ring worm.

590
00:37:21,255 --> 00:37:24,455
Frightfully catching. Don't want the
other dogs getting it. Oh, no.

591
00:37:24,455 --> 00:37:26,175
Or yourself.

592
00:37:26,175 --> 00:37:29,015
This stuff makes their fur fall out,
leaves a bare patch.

593
00:37:29,015 --> 00:37:31,735
But it'll soon grow back. Won't it,
old dog?

594
00:37:31,735 --> 00:37:34,375
Ready for the off?
Oh, yes! Yes. Yes, indeed.

595
00:37:34,375 --> 00:37:37,375
I'm going to show Miss Marple round
the church. Very nice, too.

596
00:37:37,375 --> 00:37:38,455
Yes.

597
00:37:40,935 --> 00:37:43,535
Have you worked long for Captain
Cottam?

598
00:37:43,535 --> 00:37:46,535
Two years, nearly.
After my husband died,

599
00:37:46,535 --> 00:37:49,055
they were kind enough to offer me a
position.

600
00:37:49,055 --> 00:37:52,095
Your husband was vicar here,
I understand?

601
00:37:52,095 --> 00:37:53,895
Yes. Yes, he was.

602
00:37:53,895 --> 00:37:56,175
Philip had been a missionary in West
Africa.

603
00:37:56,175 --> 00:37:59,975
Malaria. Weakened his heart, I
think. Over the years.

604
00:37:59,975 --> 00:38:02,295
Last attack,
wasn't strong enough to...

605
00:38:02,295 --> 00:38:04,575
No. I am sorry.

606
00:38:04,575 --> 00:38:07,175
I hope you don't mind, but I asked
Miss Corrigan to join us.

607
00:38:07,175 --> 00:38:09,255
No, not at all. Good morning, Miss
Corrigan.

608
00:38:09,255 --> 00:38:11,255
Do call me Ginger. Everyone does.

609
00:38:11,255 --> 00:38:14,615
Good Lord, Mr Venables must be
rolling in money.

610
00:38:14,615 --> 00:38:17,015
Yes, and no-one really knows where
it came from.

611
00:38:17,015 --> 00:38:19,935
He's quite the mystery man.
Travelled the world, you know.

612
00:38:19,935 --> 00:38:22,655
So it seems a supreme irony

613
00:38:22,655 --> 00:38:24,855
that I should have emerged unscathed

614
00:38:24,855 --> 00:38:28,175
from some of the most disease-ridden
corners of the globe

615
00:38:28,175 --> 00:38:33,455
only to contract polio in my own
rather dull little country.

616
00:38:33,455 --> 00:38:35,735
Eastbourne Lido.

617
00:38:35,735 --> 00:38:37,695
1949.

618
00:38:37,695 --> 00:38:40,095
God rot the place and all who live
there.

619
00:38:40,095 --> 00:38:42,175
Tell me, Mr Venables,

620
00:38:42,175 --> 00:38:46,175
why did you come to live in Much
Deeping, so far away from everything?

621
00:38:46,175 --> 00:38:48,695
Do you have friends here?
No.

622
00:38:48,695 --> 00:38:52,015
I came to this part of the world
precisely because I knew no-one
here.

623
00:38:52,015 --> 00:38:54,055
Did you? Yes, well, I see.

624
00:38:54,055 --> 00:38:57,695
Yet, for all that, I find I'm now on
the tourist trail.

625
00:38:57,695 --> 00:39:00,935
A site of historic local interest.

626
00:39:02,095 --> 00:39:05,935
Along with the burning, and those
monsters up at The Pale Horse.

627
00:39:05,935 --> 00:39:07,815
Monsters, Mr Venables?

628
00:39:07,815 --> 00:39:10,775
You know what they say, two's
company, three's a coven.

629
00:39:10,775 --> 00:39:12,975
Seems a little harsh.

630
00:39:12,975 --> 00:39:15,535
I know this summer finds them
useful, Mrs Harsnet,

631
00:39:15,535 --> 00:39:19,055
but in my opinion, they should be
driven out,

632
00:39:19,055 --> 00:39:22,375
with pitchforks and burning brands,
if needs be.

633
00:39:22,375 --> 00:39:24,695
What they're up to in that place...

634
00:39:24,695 --> 00:39:26,735
What are they up to?

635
00:39:26,735 --> 00:39:28,775
Wickedness.

636
00:39:28,775 --> 00:39:30,735
All manner of black devilry.

637
00:39:32,135 --> 00:39:34,295
Of course, I was brought up with the
Devil.

638
00:39:34,295 --> 00:39:36,415
Believing in him, I mean.

639
00:39:36,415 --> 00:39:38,735
He always did seem to me so silly.

640
00:39:38,735 --> 00:39:40,895
With hooves and a tail,

641
00:39:40,895 --> 00:39:42,975
capering about like a ham actor.

642
00:39:44,175 --> 00:39:47,155
Call me old-fashioned, but I really
can't go along with this modern

643
00:39:47,155 --> 00:39:51,035
playing-down of evil
as something that doesn't really exist.

644
00:39:51,335 --> 00:39:55,255
- Wouldn't you agree, Miss Marple?
- Yes. Yes, indeed I do.

645
00:39:55,255 --> 00:39:58,775
Evil is powerful, sometimes more
powerful than good.

646
00:39:59,975 --> 00:40:04,695
It's there. It needs to be
recognised... and fought.

647
00:40:04,695 --> 00:40:09,495
Fought, Miss Marple?
Otherwise we go down to darkness.

648
00:40:09,495 --> 00:40:12,255
Last night, Miss Marple, did I hear
you right?

649
00:40:12,255 --> 00:40:15,935
- What's that, dear? - You told Mrs Grey
you knew Mrs Tuckerton.

650
00:40:15,935 --> 00:40:17,815
Wouldn't be Amelia Tuckerton?

651
00:40:18,855 --> 00:40:21,215
Stepdaughter by the name of
Thomasina.

652
00:40:21,215 --> 00:40:25,935
Possibly. As I say, she's just a
friend of a friend. Why?

653
00:40:25,935 --> 00:40:28,775
I worked with a girl at the gallery
called Thomasina Tuckerton.

654
00:40:28,775 --> 00:40:30,815
"Tommy Tucker" we called her.

655
00:40:30,815 --> 00:40:33,935
Well, it might be, it might be.
You must ask her.

656
00:40:33,935 --> 00:40:36,175
That's impossible, I'm afraid.

657
00:40:36,175 --> 00:40:38,055
Tommy died two weeks ago.

658
00:40:39,535 --> 00:40:41,975
Oh, I'm sorry.

659
00:40:41,975 --> 00:40:44,935
'And only a few weeks before, she'd
been so happy.

660
00:40:44,935 --> 00:40:47,095
John had asked her to marry him.

661
00:40:47,095 --> 00:40:50,135
And she'd accepted him. Yes, I see.

662
00:40:50,135 --> 00:40:53,175
We thought it must be some sort of
nervous alopecia.

663
00:40:53,175 --> 00:40:56,095
But she just got weaker.
What did the doctors diagnose?

664
00:40:56,095 --> 00:40:58,815
They didn't know. She was just so...

665
00:40:58,815 --> 00:41:00,255
alone.

666
00:41:00,255 --> 00:41:02,175
(GASPS)

667
00:41:04,735 --> 00:41:08,975
Her stepmother was on a cruise, so
there was only me and John to look
after her.

668
00:41:08,975 --> 00:41:11,375
Then, in the end,

669
00:41:11,375 --> 00:41:12,975
only me.

670
00:41:13,975 --> 00:41:16,015
She didn't want John
to see her like that.

671
00:41:18,535 --> 00:41:22,015
Where was her father? He died himself
less than a year ago,

672
00:41:22,015 --> 00:41:24,055
not long after Tommy's 19th.

673
00:41:24,055 --> 00:41:26,735
I finally ran her stepmother to
ground in Rio.

674
00:41:26,735 --> 00:41:29,575
It was all I could do to persuade
her to come back for the funeral.

675
00:41:29,575 --> 00:41:31,615
There was bad blood between them?

676
00:41:31,615 --> 00:41:34,335
She said John was
only after Tommy's money. Ah.

677
00:41:34,335 --> 00:41:37,015
She was a wealthy girl?
She would have been.

678
00:41:37,015 --> 00:41:40,095
Her father left her a fortune to be
held in trust

679
00:41:40,095 --> 00:41:42,375
until Tommy was 21 or...

680
00:41:42,375 --> 00:41:46,055
Or until she married. Yes, that is so
often the way.

681
00:41:46,055 --> 00:41:49,495
It goes now, I suppose, to the
stepmother? Yes.

682
00:41:49,495 --> 00:41:52,735
Yes. That, too, is so often the way.

683
00:41:53,935 --> 00:41:56,415
There you are. I was wondering where
you'd gotten to.

684
00:41:56,415 --> 00:42:00,815
Why? What's to do? Mrs Grey is
showing Mr Easterbrook her books.

685
00:42:00,815 --> 00:42:05,215
As a consequence, we've been invited
to tea in her sanctum sanctorum.

686
00:42:05,215 --> 00:42:09,775
Apparently, it's in the old
courthouse where Goody Carne was
tried. Come on.

690
00:42:21,575 --> 00:42:24,655
Goodness, what a lot of poultry you
keep.

691
00:42:24,655 --> 00:42:27,815
Can't say I care for hens.
Mostly cockerels, they be.

692
00:42:27,815 --> 00:42:31,055
Table birds?
Them's useful to us.

693
00:42:31,055 --> 00:42:33,455
Whatever they are,
I don't like them.

know what you're thinking.

695
00:42:36,295 --> 00:42:38,135
MRS GREY: Perhaps they do,
Mrs Cottam.

696
00:42:41,935 --> 00:42:44,855
I mean, this is interesting.

697
00:42:44,855 --> 00:42:48,215
Oh, yes, this is powerful.

698
00:42:53,015 --> 00:42:57,495
(GASPS) Honestly, Thyrza, I do wish
sometimes you'd knock.

699
00:42:57,495 --> 00:43:00,015
I'm surprised you didn't divine my
presence, dear.

700
00:43:00,015 --> 00:43:03,615
Mrs Grey, you really do have some
wonders here.

701
00:43:03,615 --> 00:43:06,255
An original Maleus Maleficarum

702
00:43:06,255 --> 00:43:09,255
and this, Grimoire's Saducismus
Triumphatus.

703
00:43:09,255 --> 00:43:11,255
Very rare indeed.

704
00:43:11,255 --> 00:43:14,535
Oh, it's so nice to meet someone who
admires one's treasures.

705
00:43:14,535 --> 00:43:16,895
MRS COTTAM: This is where you do
your seances?

706
00:43:16,895 --> 00:43:19,335
MRS GREY: Ah, that plain and
forthright voice

707
00:43:19,335 --> 00:43:21,415
for which the Antipodes is so
rightly renowned!

708
00:43:22,455 --> 00:43:26,335
You're well informed, Mrs Cottam.
Someone must have been talking.

709
00:43:26,335 --> 00:43:31,015
In a village, I find everyone knows
one's business far better than one
does oneself.

710
00:43:31,015 --> 00:43:35,695
I'm sure the three of us enjoy
a splendid sinister reputation.

711
00:43:35,695 --> 00:43:39,375
Got all you want? Yes, thank you,
Bella. That'll be all.

712
00:43:42,415 --> 00:43:44,335
Give it here!

713
00:43:45,255 --> 00:43:49,135
I'm sure someone will have told you
Bella is the local witch.

714
00:43:49,135 --> 00:43:52,335
Really?
Yes, she has certain powers,

715
00:43:52,335 --> 00:43:55,655
though not as great as those that
Sybil enjoys.

716
00:43:55,655 --> 00:43:58,215
I have always been attracted to the
occult.

717
00:43:58,215 --> 00:44:02,655
Even as a child, I realised I had
unusual powers.

718
00:44:02,655 --> 00:44:04,415
Did you? Really?

719
00:44:04,415 --> 00:44:07,295
Automatic writing came quite
naturally to me.

720
00:44:07,295 --> 00:44:09,575
I didn't even know what it was.

721
00:44:09,575 --> 00:44:13,855
I'd just sit there with a pencil in
my hand, without a clue what was
happening.

722
00:44:13,855 --> 00:44:16,055
Automatic writing.

723
00:44:16,055 --> 00:44:20,215
The difference between that
and mindless scribbling is...?

724
00:44:20,215 --> 00:44:22,295
Interpretation.
Ah, yes.

725
00:44:22,295 --> 00:44:26,015
Yes, of course. You don't believe any
of this, do you, Miss Marple?

726
00:44:26,015 --> 00:44:28,855
But you do, don't you?
I don't believe, Miss Marple.

727
00:44:28,855 --> 00:44:30,815
I know!

728
00:44:30,815 --> 00:44:34,895
Why else have people come through
the ages to the necromancer?

729
00:44:34,895 --> 00:44:37,095
And the witch doctor?

730
00:44:37,095 --> 00:44:39,895
There are only two things people
want badly enough

731
00:44:39,895 --> 00:44:41,935
to risk damnation.

732
00:44:41,935 --> 00:44:44,135
The love potion

733
00:44:44,135 --> 00:44:46,015
and the cup of death.
Ah.

734
00:44:46,015 --> 00:44:48,215
So simple, isn't it, love and death?

735
00:44:48,215 --> 00:44:51,495
The love potion...
to win the man you want.

736
00:44:51,495 --> 00:44:54,175
A draught to be taken at the full of
the moon.

737
00:44:54,175 --> 00:44:57,055
Recite the names of the devils.

738
00:44:57,055 --> 00:44:59,775
Draw patterns on the floor.
All window dressing.

739
00:44:59,775 --> 00:45:01,815
The truth, of course...

740
00:45:01,815 --> 00:45:03,855
The aphrodisiac in the draught.

741
00:45:03,855 --> 00:45:05,935
And the cup of death?

742
00:45:05,935 --> 00:45:08,415
Untraceable poisons perhaps?

743
00:45:08,415 --> 00:45:10,535
Poisons? Childish stuff.

744
00:45:10,535 --> 00:45:12,615
There are new horizons, Miss Marple.

745
00:45:12,615 --> 00:45:14,495
The mind.

746
00:45:15,735 --> 00:45:18,535
Knowledge of what it can do
and what it can be made to do.

747
00:45:18,535 --> 00:45:20,535
Made to do?

748
00:45:20,535 --> 00:45:23,775
Influence your subject to commit
suicide, is that it? No.

749
00:45:23,775 --> 00:45:26,055
The psychologists
have shown us the way.

750
00:45:27,215 --> 00:45:29,255
The desire for death.

751
00:45:29,255 --> 00:45:31,295
It's there in everyone.

752
00:45:31,295 --> 00:45:33,615
And that desire can be stimulated.

753
00:45:33,615 --> 00:45:35,815
You don't need to kill your victim.

754
00:45:35,815 --> 00:45:39,015
All you need to do
is will him to death.

755
00:45:39,015 --> 00:45:40,815
Can you do that?

What are you doing here?

768
00:46:29,775 --> 00:46:31,735
Be with you in a moment.

769
00:46:35,375 --> 00:46:38,175
When I got back from lunch
with Mr Venables, Ru had...

00:46:38,375 --> 00:46:40,295
Oh!

771
00:46:41,655 --> 00:46:44,415
Captain Cottam had already retired.

772
00:46:44,415 --> 00:46:48,375
It was his custom to take a siesta
at that time of the afternoon.

773
00:46:48,375 --> 00:46:51,095
I took him a cup of tea at four
o'clock.

774
00:46:52,175 --> 00:46:54,255
Yes, around then.

775
00:46:54,255 --> 00:46:56,255
And...

776
00:46:56,255 --> 00:46:58,215
that's when I found him.

777
00:47:03,095 --> 00:47:05,095
Rupert was in the garden
with the dog.

778
00:47:06,735 --> 00:47:08,655
That was the last I saw him.

779
00:47:11,415 --> 00:47:13,335
He was so full of life.

780
00:47:15,015 --> 00:47:16,935
We were so happy.

781
00:47:19,255 --> 00:47:21,175
And I wasn't there.

782
00:47:23,135 --> 00:47:25,055
I wasn't there.

Yes.

Though what the police think I can
tell them...

790
00:47:45,495 --> 00:47:48,775
There's no suggestion there are any
suspicious circumstances?

791
00:47:48,775 --> 00:47:50,895
Not so far as I know.

792
00:47:50,895 --> 00:47:53,015
I've been meaning to ask.

793
00:47:53,015 --> 00:47:55,095
How was it you heard about
the Pale Horse?

794
00:47:56,655 --> 00:47:58,695
It's my field.

795
00:47:58,695 --> 00:48:00,855
English folklore.

796
00:48:00,855 --> 00:48:03,495
Yes, of course.
What's your interest.

797
00:48:03,495 --> 00:48:05,375
Oh, just bad old curiosity.

798
00:48:08,695 --> 00:48:12,775
I'm not sure...
I believe that for a moment.

799
00:48:12,775 --> 00:48:15,375
In fact, you strike me as the sort of
young woman

800
00:48:15,375 --> 00:48:17,975
who's never had an idle thought in
her head.

801
00:48:20,055 --> 00:48:22,055
I'll take that as a compliment.

802
00:48:22,055 --> 00:48:23,975
You should.

803
00:48:30,295 --> 00:48:35,215
I thought it best we meet somewhere
where we could talk in private.

804
00:48:36,935 --> 00:48:40,935
I've asked the local pathologist to
pass his findings on,

805
00:48:40,935 --> 00:48:45,055
but first impressions are Captain
Cottam died of natural causes.

806
00:48:45,055 --> 00:48:47,135
Natural causes?
His heart.

807
00:48:47,135 --> 00:48:50,975
It would appear he'd been...
exerting himself.

808
00:48:50,975 --> 00:48:53,175
After a fashion.

809
00:48:53,175 --> 00:48:55,295
I understood he'd gone for an
afternoon nap.

810
00:48:55,295 --> 00:48:58,575
It's possible he may not have been
having 40 winks by himself.

811
00:48:58,575 --> 00:49:00,455
Oh, I see.

812
00:49:02,135 --> 00:49:04,575
I must say, I thought there was
rather more

813
00:49:04,575 --> 00:49:07,455
to their arrangements
than simple housekeeping.

814
00:49:07,455 --> 00:49:11,335
And Mrs Cottam party to it,
would you think?

815
00:49:11,335 --> 00:49:13,455
I would think so, wouldn't you?

816
00:49:13,455 --> 00:49:16,375
It goes on. You only
have to read the Sunday papers.

817
00:49:16,375 --> 00:49:19,655
But it doesn't mean
there's anything sinister about it.

818
00:49:19,655 --> 00:49:22,775
Look, I'm sorry, I know
you have the best of intentions

819
00:49:22,775 --> 00:49:24,815
but the long and the short of it
is...

820
00:49:24,815 --> 00:49:28,615
I can't go poking my big London nose
into Hampshire Police business

00:49:28,615 --> 00:49:31,015

It isn't done.

822
00:49:31,015 --> 00:49:33,215
No, no, of course.

823
00:49:33,215 --> 00:49:36,015
Mind, you could have knocked me down
with a feather

824
00:49:36,015 --> 00:49:38,575
running into Mark Easterbrook again
so soon.

825
00:49:38,575 --> 00:49:41,215
I'll admit it's a rum go
finding him down here.

826
00:49:41,215 --> 00:49:43,615
Not that I'm suggesting that he was
involved

827
00:49:43,615 --> 00:49:46,135
with what happened with Father
Gorman in any way.

828
00:49:46,135 --> 00:49:48,015
No. No, of course not.

829
00:49:49,895 --> 00:49:52,215
It is a long while
since you've seen him.

830
00:49:53,255 --> 00:49:55,295
The man you knew...

831
00:49:55,295 --> 00:49:57,415
He does seem changed.

832
00:49:57,415 --> 00:49:59,695
But he's more cause than most.

833
00:49:59,695 --> 00:50:01,695
Maybe since Isla.

834
00:50:01,695 --> 00:50:03,775

839
00:50:13,055 --> 00:50:15,655
She was killed outright.

840
00:50:15,655 --> 00:50:19,575
I imagine Mr Easterbrook
was lucky to survive.

841
00:50:19,575 --> 00:50:21,815
She was...

842
00:50:21,815 --> 00:50:23,815
with a friend.
Ah.

843
00:50:23,815 --> 00:50:26,335
Local police tried to pin it on
Mark, of course.

He's a nerve doctor, isn't he?
So I believe.

Yes, we use him sometimes if one of
our men

853
00:50:50,495 --> 00:50:53,855
goes down with a bad case of the
jitters. Why, what about him?

00:50:53,855 --> 00:50:57,095
Perhaps you might like to ask him
about one of his patients?

855
00:50:57,095 --> 00:50:59,135
Name of Venables.

856
00:50:59,135 --> 00:51:01,135
Price Court.

857
00:51:01,135 --> 00:51:03,335
Much Deeping.

858
00:51:03,335 --> 00:51:05,895
Bye, Miss Marple.
Goodbye.

859
00:51:05,895 --> 00:51:08,095
Miss Marple.

860
00:51:08,095 --> 00:51:10,895
Oh, Miss Corrigan.
You said evil had to be fought.

861
00:51:10,895 --> 00:51:13,935
Otherwise we go down to darkness.
Did you mean it?

862
00:51:13,935 --> 00:51:16,095
Every word.

863
00:51:16,095 --> 00:51:19,215
Is there something you'd like to tell
me perhaps?

864
00:51:19,215 --> 00:51:21,175
Yes.
About your friend, is it?

865
00:51:21,175 --> 00:51:23,295
Tommy Tuckerton?

866
00:51:23,295 --> 00:51:27,135
You're worried that her death was
perhaps not entirely a natural one?

867
00:51:32,095 --> 00:51:34,295
C R Bradley.

868
00:51:34,295 --> 00:51:37,775
I found it at Tommy Tuckerton's
house. Her stepmother had it.

869
00:51:37,775 --> 00:51:40,295
That's what led me here.
Charing Cross, 6502.

870
00:51:40,295 --> 00:51:43,375
Have you tried to contact Mr Bradley?

871
00:51:43,375 --> 00:51:45,815
I'm ashamed to say I was afraid to
on my own.

872
00:51:45,815 --> 00:51:48,415
Well, there's two of us now.
Two of us?

873
00:51:48,415 --> 00:51:51,415
Yes, you see, I too lost a friend.

874
00:51:51,415 --> 00:51:54,495
A very dear friend.
His name was Father Gorman.

875
00:51:54,495 --> 00:51:56,975
And somehow, the Pale Horse,

876
00:51:56,975 --> 00:52:00,775
perhaps with the help of Mr Bradley,
was at the heart of it.

877
00:52:00,775 --> 00:52:04,255
And now with Captain Cottam's
murder...

878
00:52:04,255 --> 00:52:06,215
Murder? I thought a heart seizure.

879
00:52:06,215 --> 00:52:08,455
Oh, no, my dear.

880
00:52:08,455 --> 00:52:10,375
He was murdered, I'm quite sure of
it.

881
00:52:10,375 --> 00:52:13,135
But why and by whom...?

882
00:52:13,135 --> 00:52:15,495
We'll get to the bottom of it.
I know we will.

883
00:52:15,495 --> 00:52:18,495
Oh, yes, but we must beware.

884
00:52:18,495 --> 00:52:21,175
For even while we are hunting him...

885
00:52:21,175 --> 00:52:24,175
I fear he may well be hunting us.

886
00:52:24,175 --> 00:52:26,375
Please be careful, Miss Marple.

887
00:52:26,375 --> 00:52:28,935
Don't worry.
I'll be back from London tomorrow.

888
00:52:28,935 --> 00:52:30,855
See you then.

889
00:52:51,474 --> 00:52:53,554
Well, dear lady,

890
00:52:53,554 --> 00:52:55,594
how may one be of service?

891
00:52:55,594 --> 00:52:58,194
Oh, no, thank you.

892
00:52:58,194 --> 00:53:03,394
Well, I'm not sure how this is meant
to work, Mr Bradley.

893
00:53:03,394 --> 00:53:05,394
I suppose the first thing to ask
is...

894
00:53:05,394 --> 00:53:07,594
how much?

895
00:53:07,594 --> 00:53:12,394
That's not how we go about things,
dear me, no.

896
00:53:12,394 --> 00:53:15,234
We haven't introduced ourselves yet,
have we?

897
00:53:15,234 --> 00:53:17,394
I don't think
I ought to give you my name.

898
00:53:17,394 --> 00:53:19,434
Oh, cautious, yes, I like that.

899
00:53:19,434 --> 00:53:21,314
Admirable quality, but...

900
00:53:22,554 --> 00:53:26,474
I think we may allow ourselves
a moment's candour.

901
00:53:28,514 --> 00:53:30,674
Who is it sent you to me?

902
00:53:30,674 --> 00:53:34,514
Let's just say a friend of mine has a
friend who has a friend.

903
00:53:34,514 --> 00:53:36,394
Quite.

904
00:53:37,314 --> 00:53:39,754
You know my calling, I presume?

905
00:53:39,754 --> 00:53:41,634
Turf commission agent?

906
00:53:42,754 --> 00:53:44,874
Interested in horses?

907
00:53:44,874 --> 00:53:46,994
Betting?

908
00:53:46,994 --> 00:53:49,594
Any particular horse
you had in mind?

909
00:53:49,594 --> 00:53:51,554
A pale horse.

910
00:53:51,554 --> 00:53:53,674
Very good, very good.

911
00:53:53,674 --> 00:53:55,554
Excellent.

912
00:53:56,674 --> 00:53:59,114
Oh, you yourself, if I may say so...

913
00:53:59,114 --> 00:54:01,154
seem to be rather a dark horse.

914
00:54:01,154 --> 00:54:03,314
(LAUGHS)

915
00:54:03,314 --> 00:54:06,274
Let me assure you that there's no
need for any anxiety.

916
00:54:06,274 --> 00:54:08,394
I'm a lawyer myself.

917
00:54:08,394 --> 00:54:10,354
Disbarred, I understand.

918
00:54:10,354 --> 00:54:12,474
Unfairly, of course.

919
00:54:12,474 --> 00:54:14,434
Just so.

920
00:54:14,434 --> 00:54:16,554
But disbarred or not,

921
00:54:16,554 --> 00:54:18,674
I do know my law.

922
00:54:18,674 --> 00:54:22,554
And everything I recommend here
is perfectly legal.

923
00:54:24,394 --> 00:54:26,754
It's just a question of a bet,
you see.

924
00:54:26,754 --> 00:54:28,634
A bet?
That's right.

925
00:54:28,634 --> 00:54:30,834
A man...

926
00:54:30,834 --> 00:54:33,354
or in your case, mutatis mutandis,
a woman

927
00:54:33,354 --> 00:54:35,794
can bet on anything he pleases.

928
00:54:35,794 --> 00:54:37,954
Whether it will rain tomorrow?

929
00:54:37,954 --> 00:54:40,434
Whether the Russians can send a man
to the moon?

930
00:54:40,434 --> 00:54:42,514
Or...whether...

931
00:54:42,514 --> 00:54:47,114
Mrs X...will die before Christmas.

932
00:54:47,114 --> 00:54:49,434
Do you follow?

933
00:54:49,434 --> 00:54:52,754
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I saw
you at Kensal Green Cemetery.

934
00:54:53,874 --> 00:54:56,034
Er...

935
00:54:56,034 --> 00:54:58,874
You did. I would have mentioned it
myself,

936
00:54:58,874 --> 00:55:01,074
but running into you again,

937
00:55:01,074 --> 00:55:05,794
I didn't want you to get the idea
I was some kind of oddball, you know.

938
00:55:05,794 --> 00:55:08,074
Following you.
What were you doing?

939
00:55:09,514 --> 00:55:12,314
I was visiting my late godmother Min.

940
00:55:12,314 --> 00:55:17,194
More properly,
Lady Minerva Hesketh-Dubois.

941
00:55:17,194 --> 00:55:20,194
BRADLEY:
Let's assume a hypothetical case.

942
00:55:20,194 --> 00:55:24,994
Someone would like to know when
Great Aunt Eliza is going to die.

943
00:55:26,194 --> 00:55:29,914
Eliza could live on, pepped up by
doctors, for another ten years.

944
00:55:29,914 --> 00:55:32,434
You'd be delighted,
you're fond of the old girl.

945
00:55:32,434 --> 00:55:35,354
But how useful would it be to know?

946
00:55:36,794 --> 00:55:39,194
You follow?
Oh, yes.

947
00:55:39,194 --> 00:55:41,154
This is where yours truly comes in.

948
00:55:41,154 --> 00:55:44,634
You bet me a certain sum...

949
00:55:45,794 --> 00:55:49,834
..that Aunt Eliza will be hale and
hearty till Christmas.

950
00:55:51,514 --> 00:55:53,714
I bet that she won't.

951
00:55:53,714 --> 00:55:56,274
There's nothing against that, is
there?

952
00:55:56,274 --> 00:55:59,114
She was a...decent old stick.

953
00:55:59,114 --> 00:56:01,154
Good innings, mind.

954
00:56:01,154 --> 00:56:03,194
71.

955
00:56:03,194 --> 00:56:05,394
But she went through it, poor thing.

956
00:56:05,394 --> 00:56:07,834
I mean it was quick,
quick as you like, but...

957
00:56:07,834 --> 00:56:09,954
all over in a week. But...

958
00:56:09,954 --> 00:56:12,474
you wouldn't let a dog suffer like
that.

959
00:56:13,674 --> 00:56:16,274
She wasted away to skin and bone.

960
00:56:17,474 --> 00:56:19,434
Her hair...
Her hair?

961
00:56:19,434 --> 00:56:22,034
It just came out.

962
00:56:22,034 --> 00:56:23,994
Clumps.

963
00:56:23,994 --> 00:56:26,194
Dignity. You know.

964
00:56:26,194 --> 00:56:29,954
For a woman, especially, crowning
glory, when all is said and done.

965
00:56:29,954 --> 00:56:31,954
No matter how old you are.

966
00:56:31,954 --> 00:56:33,834
You were fond of her?

967
00:56:35,154 --> 00:56:37,074
Yes.

968
00:56:38,194 --> 00:56:40,114
Yes, I suppose I was rather.

969
00:56:42,714 --> 00:56:44,634
She was always there when things...

970
00:56:45,754 --> 00:56:47,794
..got bad.

971
00:56:47,794 --> 00:56:49,674
Did they get bad often?

972
00:56:52,074 --> 00:56:53,994
Once. Very.

973
00:56:59,114 --> 00:57:01,154
We draw up a contract, sign it,

974
00:57:01,154 --> 00:57:03,314
I give you a date,

975
00:57:03,314 --> 00:57:05,714
I say that a fortnight from that
date...

976
00:57:06,954 --> 00:57:10,074
..Aunt Eliza's funeral service will
be read.

977
00:57:11,154 --> 00:57:13,354
You say it won't.

978
00:57:13,354 --> 00:57:15,994
Supposing you lose?
Well, I pay up.

979
00:57:15,994 --> 00:57:18,114
Naturally.

980
00:57:18,114 --> 00:57:22,594
And if you lose...
Supposing I don't...pay up?

981
00:57:22,594 --> 00:57:24,754
I really shouldn't advise so.

982
00:57:25,914 --> 00:57:28,154
I'd like to think about it.
Of course.

983
00:57:28,154 --> 00:57:30,234
Of course, by all means, yes.

984
00:57:30,234 --> 00:57:32,234
Never rush into anything ever.

985
00:57:32,234 --> 00:57:34,354
If you decide to do business,

986
00:57:34,354 --> 00:57:36,954
you come back and we'll go into the
matter more fully.

987
00:57:38,074 --> 00:57:40,074
No hurry in the world.

988
00:57:40,074 --> 00:57:41,994
No hurry at all.

989
00:57:43,114 --> 00:57:45,194
Thank you.

990
00:57:45,194 --> 00:57:48,114
Where does the pale horse fit in?

991
00:57:48,114 --> 00:57:52,394
More things in heaven and earth,
Horatio, than are dreamed of...

992
00:57:53,594 --> 00:57:55,754
Don't ask me how they do it.
I don't know.

993
00:57:56,834 --> 00:57:58,794
But rest assured...

994
00:57:59,914 --> 00:58:01,834
..whatever it is they do do...

995
00:58:02,914 --> 00:58:04,834
..it works.

996
00:58:14,274 --> 00:58:16,354
Bradley, eh?

997
00:58:16,354 --> 00:58:18,554
I should have known.

998
00:58:18,554 --> 00:58:20,714
Caused us no end of trouble over the
years.

999
00:58:20,714 --> 00:58:22,994
But he's a slippery customer.

1000
00:58:22,994 --> 00:58:25,194
Knows every legal dodge in the book.

1001
00:58:25,194 --> 00:58:28,234
Somehow always stays
just the right side of the line.

1002
00:58:28,234 --> 00:58:31,154
But we were talking about murder.
Organised murder.

1003
00:58:31,154 --> 00:58:33,514
That's partly what I can't square.

1004
00:58:33,514 --> 00:58:35,714
Bradley's a wrong'un, but...

1005
00:58:35,714 --> 00:58:39,274
something like that? The chance of
having his neck stretched?

1006
00:58:39,274 --> 00:58:41,434
I'd have said that was right off his
beat.

1007
00:58:41,434 --> 00:58:43,634
Yes, I agree with you, Inspector.

1008
00:58:43,634 --> 00:58:48,474
Mr Bradley's involvement begins and
ends with a financial transaction.

1009
00:58:48,474 --> 00:58:51,554
He's a go-between.
Nothing more.

1010
00:58:51,554 --> 00:58:54,914
And I did hear back from Sir William
Dougdale,

1011
00:58:54,914 --> 00:58:57,194
the nerve chap
you asked me to get hold of.

1012
00:58:57,194 --> 00:58:59,314
No go, I'm afraid.

1013
00:58:59,314 --> 00:59:02,554
Venables has as much chance of
walking as I have of flying.

1014
00:59:02,554 --> 00:59:06,114
You know, Inspector, despite all the
evidence to the contrary,

1015
00:59:06,114 --> 00:59:10,074
I think it would still be worth one's
while to keep an eye on Mr Venables.

1016
00:59:10,074 --> 00:59:11,954
Really?
Oh, yes.

1017
00:59:11,954 --> 00:59:14,194
I would go so far as to say

1018
00:59:14,194 --> 00:59:17,314
he may well be key to unwrapping this
whole affair.

1019
00:59:17,314 --> 00:59:19,834
There are dark forces at work here,
Inspector.

1020
00:59:19,834 --> 00:59:22,634
They must be forced into the light.

1021
00:59:22,634 --> 00:59:24,794
Somehow I don't like the sound of
that.

1022
00:59:24,794 --> 00:59:29,114
Whatever suspicions you may have,
you must leave things to the police

1023
00:59:29,114 --> 00:59:31,074
and not take any action of your own.

1024
00:59:31,074 --> 00:59:33,194
No, no, of course, Inspector.

1025
00:59:33,194 --> 00:59:36,434
No, you're right.
I wouldn't dream...

1026
00:59:36,434 --> 00:59:38,314
Dear me, no.

1027
00:59:47,067 --> 00:59:50,227
According to the tail I put on
Bradley,

1028
00:59:50,227 --> 00:59:52,587
he left yesterday in his lunch hour

1029
00:59:52,587 --> 00:59:55,987
to deliver a letter to an office
on the other side of town.

1030
00:59:55,987 --> 00:59:58,787
The place looked derelict,
but we've run it down.

1031
00:59:58,787 --> 01:00:03,107
Registered offices of
Customer Reactions Classified.

1032
01:00:03,107 --> 01:00:05,307
Some sort of market research outfit.

1033
01:00:05,307 --> 01:00:07,987
The registrar of companies lists the
director

1034
01:00:07,987 --> 01:00:10,347
as an Ian Morris Noone.
With an "E".

1035
01:00:10,347 --> 01:00:12,387
Oh, well, it would be, wouldn't it?

1036
01:00:12,387 --> 01:00:14,427
It's a front obviously.

1037
01:00:14,427 --> 01:00:16,467
What?

1038
01:00:16,467 --> 01:00:18,467
Ian Morris Noone...

1039
01:00:18,467 --> 01:00:21,027
I, M, Noon.

1040
01:00:21,027 --> 01:00:23,787
I am no-one.

1041
01:00:23,787 --> 01:00:26,707
Or "I'm number one". Both probably.

1042
01:00:26,707 --> 01:00:29,187
The man's got a sense of humour,
then.

1043
01:00:29,187 --> 01:00:31,187
And it would seem to confirm your
instinct

1044
01:00:31,187 --> 01:00:33,187
that Bradley is just the middle man.

1045
01:00:33,187 --> 01:00:36,707
Forgive me, but wasn't there some
mention of consumer reactions

1046
01:00:36,707 --> 01:00:39,787
with regard to Mrs Davis?

1047
01:00:39,787 --> 01:00:41,867
Yes, but the neighbours say that

1048
01:00:41,867 --> 01:00:43,947
no-one's been near the office in
months.

1049
01:00:45,147 --> 01:00:49,187
You really think the Pale Horse is
connected? Don't you?

1050
01:00:49,187 --> 01:00:51,227
It's a big jump from putting on

actual murder

1052
01:00:53,827 --> 01:00:58,027
All these people who died, presumably
somebody profited by their deaths.

1053
01:00:58,027 --> 01:01:01,987
Oh, yes. Lady Hesketh-Dubois
left about £50,000.

1054
01:01:01,987 --> 01:01:05,107
Niece and nephew inherit.
Both could do with the money.

1055
01:01:05,107 --> 01:01:07,347
But both were abroad
when she fell ill.

a very large fortune

1057
01:01:10,507 --> 01:01:13,147
but since she died unmarried before
the age of 21...

1058
01:01:13,147 --> 01:01:15,267
It reverts to her stepmother.

1059
01:01:15,267 --> 01:01:18,147
It's pretty much the same story with
the whole list. Yes.

1060
01:01:19,347 --> 01:01:22,027
I think it's time we spoke to Miss
Corrigan.

1061
01:01:24,227 --> 01:01:26,187

1062

Oh, Miss Corrigan, I thought you were
here until the end of the week.

misplaced a glove.

Now...are we for the off?

1204
01:11:02,667 --> 01:11:04,867
Inspector,

1205
01:11:04,867 --> 01:11:07,587
I think I'd like to know what the
hell is going on.

1206
01:11:07,587 --> 01:11:11,547
You come in here, you commandeer my
hotel... It's a damned outrage.

1207
01:11:11,547 --> 01:11:14,347
Actually, Mr Venables, I believe
there's a matter

1208
01:11:14,347 --> 01:11:16,307
on which you might be able to assist
us.

1209
01:11:16,307 --> 01:11:19,027
Really? And what might that be?

1210
01:11:19,027 --> 01:11:21,187
On the 5th of March

1211
01:11:21,187 --> 01:11:23,867
a parish priest by the name of
Father Gorman...

1212
01:11:23,867 --> 01:11:27,147
was murdered.
In Westbourne Street, Paddington.

1213
01:11:27,147 --> 01:11:28,907
Is that so?

1214
01:11:28,907 --> 01:11:31,027
I must confess,
now the moment's here,

1215
01:11:31,027 --> 01:11:33,187
I'm more than a little nervous.

1216
01:11:33,187 --> 01:11:36,027
I must admit, I'm somewhat
apprehensive myself.

1217
01:11:36,027 --> 01:11:39,707
My only regret is I wish I could be
there to see the look on his face.

1218
01:11:39,707 --> 01:11:42,707
Yes, but we must follow
Inspector Lejeune's advice.

1219
01:11:42,707 --> 01:11:46,227
You're our star witness.
Only you can identify him.

1220
01:11:46,227 --> 01:11:48,387
If this is to work,

1221
01:11:48,387 --> 01:11:50,867
we must time your entrance
to maximum effect.

1222
01:11:58,351 --> 01:12:02,671
You see, Father Gorman had been
called out that particular evening

1223
01:12:02,671 --> 01:12:05,391
to attend the death bed
of a Mrs Davis.

1224
01:12:05,391 --> 01:12:09,391
She had become unwittingly entangled
in a criminal organisation

1225
01:12:09,391 --> 01:12:13,231
which specialised in the removal
of unwanted persons

1226
01:12:13,231 --> 01:12:15,391
for a substantial fee.

1227
01:12:15,391 --> 01:12:18,351
These removals were ostensibly
brought about

1228
01:12:18,351 --> 01:12:21,231
by what might be called
psychological means.

1229
01:12:21,231 --> 01:12:23,671
So the victim dies a perfectly
natural death.

1230
01:12:23,671 --> 01:12:25,831
Do you really believe that?

1231
01:12:25,831 --> 01:12:28,071
The headquarters of this
organisation

1232
01:12:28,071 --> 01:12:30,391
is said to be a place called the
"Pale Horse".

1233
01:12:30,391 --> 01:12:33,311
Thyrza Grey's nonsense?

1234
01:12:33,311 --> 01:12:36,631
You really believe she spouts some
mumbo-jumbo

1235
01:12:36,631 --> 01:12:38,591
and as a result, somebody dies?

1236
01:12:38,591 --> 01:12:40,791
Oh, no, Mr Venables.

1237
01:12:40,791 --> 01:12:43,991
Cause of death
is much simpler than that.

1238
01:12:45,111 --> 01:12:47,311
Thallium poisoning.

1239
01:12:47,311 --> 01:12:49,231
What did you say?
Poisoning.

1240
01:12:49,231 --> 01:12:51,391
By thallium salts.

1241
01:12:51,391 --> 01:12:54,911
Only, the killer was at pains
to disguise that fact.

1242
01:12:54,911 --> 01:12:57,431
And what better method

1243
01:12:57,431 --> 01:13:00,951
than a pseudo-scientific
psychological set-up?

1244
01:13:00,951 --> 01:13:04,751
Full of modern jargon and reinforced
by old superstitions.

1245
01:13:04,751 --> 01:13:06,951
Thallium salts?

1246
01:13:06,951 --> 01:13:08,951
I don't think I've heard of that
one.

1247
01:13:08,951 --> 01:13:12,511
No? It's extensively used
as rat poison.

1248
01:13:12,511 --> 01:13:16,231
More specifically,
for animals with ringworm.

1249
01:13:16,231 --> 01:13:18,231
Odourless, tasteless.

1250
01:13:18,231 --> 01:13:20,431
It's obtained quite easily.

1251
01:13:20,431 --> 01:13:24,671
In fact, I think that Inspector
Lejeune retrieved a jar of it

1252
01:13:24,671 --> 01:13:27,191
from your house only this morning.

1253
01:13:30,871 --> 01:13:32,871
I know nothing about that.

1254
01:13:32,871 --> 01:13:35,071
Nothing at all.

1255
01:13:35,071 --> 01:13:39,231
Oh, your enterprise is very well
organised, Mr Venables.

1256
01:13:40,351 --> 01:13:43,311
Financial details arranged by a
debarred solicitor,

1257
01:13:43,311 --> 01:13:45,391
name of Bradley.

1258
01:13:45,391 --> 01:13:48,551
Mr Bradley has an office in town

1259
01:13:48,551 --> 01:13:51,111
and prospective clients who want rid

1260
01:13:51,111 --> 01:13:53,591
of a wealthy relative for their own
gain,

1261
01:13:53,591 --> 01:13:55,791
visit him there and do business.

1262
01:13:55,791 --> 01:13:59,111
That is to say, there is a bet made
on whether someone will die

1263
01:13:59,111 --> 01:14:01,151
within a stated period.

1264
01:14:01,151 --> 01:14:04,351
When Mr Bradley wins his bet,

1265
01:14:04,351 --> 01:14:06,911
the money has to be paid over quite
promptly.

1266
01:14:06,911 --> 01:14:09,951
Or something unpleasant
is liable to happen.

1267
01:14:09,951 --> 01:14:12,391
That's all Mr Bradley has to do.

1268
01:14:12,391 --> 01:14:14,511
Make a bet.

1269
01:14:14,511 --> 01:14:16,471
Simple, isn't it?

1270
01:14:16,471 --> 01:14:18,591
It would certainly seem so.

1271
01:14:18,591 --> 01:14:20,711
Oh, it is so, Mr Venables.

1272
01:14:20,711 --> 01:14:24,111
For, barring the depositing of
certain monies together with

1273
01:14:24,111 --> 01:14:27,111
the name of the intended victim to a
certain address,

1274
01:14:27,111 --> 01:14:29,551
that's the end of Mr Bradley's role
in the affair.

1275
01:14:31,151 --> 01:14:33,511
Miss Marple.
Thank you, Inspector.

1276
01:14:33,511 --> 01:14:36,711
The client then comes here to the
Pale Horse,

1277
01:14:36,711 --> 01:14:40,471
where a show is put on
by Mrs Grey and her friends

1278
01:14:40,471 --> 01:14:43,151
which usually impresses
in the way it's meant to.

1279
01:14:43,151 --> 01:14:45,671
I hope you're not suggesting that
I'm involved.

1280
01:14:45,671 --> 01:14:47,791
Oh, no, not at all.

1281
01:14:47,791 --> 01:14:49,951
Well, not in the actual killing.

1282
01:14:49,951 --> 01:14:52,231
Although that's certainly
the impression

1283
01:14:52,231 --> 01:14:54,271
you like to give, Mrs Grey, isn't it?

1284
01:14:54,271 --> 01:14:57,071
Cat got your tongue, Mrs Grey?

1285
01:14:57,071 --> 01:14:59,231
I thought as much.

1286
01:14:59,231 --> 01:15:01,631
For all that you enjoy letting
people think

1287
01:15:01,631 --> 01:15:04,431
that you really do have power over
life and death,

1288
01:15:04,431 --> 01:15:07,951
like Bradley, your involvement was
merely so much pantomime.

1289
01:15:07,951 --> 01:15:10,431
Pantomime?
Financially rewarding no doubt,

1290
01:15:10,431 --> 01:15:12,631
but pantomime all the same.

1291
01:15:12,631 --> 01:15:14,631
How dare you!
Oh, I dare.

1292
01:15:14,631 --> 01:15:18,111
You see, this whole rigmarole you
lay on down here

1293
01:15:18,111 --> 01:15:20,791
is simply part of the murderer's
grand design.

1294
01:15:20,791 --> 01:15:23,831
It's a failsafe. Like Bradley.
Another way of keeping

1295
01:15:23,831 --> 01:15:26,671
the real killer at one remove from
everybody else.

1296
01:15:26,671 --> 01:15:28,751
And if anyone should go to the
police

1297
01:15:28,751 --> 01:15:32,831
with wild tales of murder being
committed by black magic, well...

1298
01:15:32,831 --> 01:15:36,391
we'd as soon phone the funny farm
as Scotland Yard.

1299
01:15:36,391 --> 01:15:40,151
You mean people really have died?

1300
01:15:41,831 --> 01:15:43,751
My God.

1301
01:15:45,231 --> 01:15:48,191
We didn't know. Tell them, Thyrza.

1302
01:15:48,191 --> 01:15:51,631
We didn't even know who it was we
were meant to be cursing.

1303
01:15:51,631 --> 01:15:53,831
Well, not their names.

1304
01:15:53,831 --> 01:15:55,751
And there was never any money
involved.

1305
01:15:56,951 --> 01:16:00,191
Tell them, Thyrza.
Oh, for God's sake, Sybil.

1306
01:16:00,191 --> 01:16:02,031
How else do you think we've kept
afloat

1307
01:16:02,031 --> 01:16:04,231
since the bypass went through?

1308
01:16:04,231 --> 01:16:07,151
Do you think all of this
just pays for itself?

1309
01:16:12,311 --> 01:16:14,311
I just...

1310
01:16:14,311 --> 01:16:16,231
thought...

1311
01:16:17,191 --> 01:16:19,191
..it was a bit of fun.

1312
01:16:19,191 --> 01:16:21,111
Fun, Miss Stamfordis?

1313
01:16:23,551 --> 01:16:27,671
And now to the simple facts behind
the scenes, as it were.

1314
01:16:27,671 --> 01:16:30,631
Certain women, to the best of their
knowledge,

1315
01:16:30,631 --> 01:16:33,991
bona fide employees
of a consumer research concern,

1316
01:16:33,991 --> 01:16:37,431
are sent by the anonymous head of the
enterprise

1317
01:16:37,431 --> 01:16:41,231
to canvas a particular neighbourhood
with a questionnaire.

1318
01:16:41,231 --> 01:16:43,431
What bread do you prefer?

1319
01:16:43,431 --> 01:16:46,151
What toilet articles,
cosmetics do you use?

1320
01:16:46,151 --> 01:16:48,671
And so to the last step.

1321
01:16:48,671 --> 01:16:51,391
The only action performed by

1322
01:16:51,391 --> 01:16:54,951
the mysterious head of the enterprise
himself.

1323
01:16:54,951 --> 01:16:57,951
He may pose as a plumber,
electrician,

1324
01:16:57,951 --> 01:17:00,031
a workman of some kind,

1325
01:17:00,031 --> 01:17:02,151
in order to gain entry.

1326
01:17:02,151 --> 01:17:05,911
But whatever his role,
his object is simple.

1327
01:17:07,031 --> 01:17:09,231
Replacing an article he knows,

1328
01:17:09,231 --> 01:17:13,151
by means of the consumer research
questionnaire, that his victim uses,

1329
01:17:13,151 --> 01:17:16,231
with a poisoned substitute.

1330
01:17:16,231 --> 01:17:18,911
Which sooner or later
does its deadly work.

1331
01:17:18,911 --> 01:17:21,111
The victim falls ill.

1332
01:17:21,111 --> 01:17:25,951
A doctor is called, but sees no
reason to imagine anything untoward.

1333
01:17:25,951 --> 01:17:28,511
You see, but for the hair loss,

1334
01:17:28,511 --> 01:17:32,911
thallium poisoning looks like nothing
more than a natural death.

1335
01:17:32,911 --> 01:17:36,071
You see the beauty of this scheme,
Mr Venables?

1336
01:17:37,271 --> 01:17:40,711
The only person who knows what the
head of the organisation

1337
01:17:40,711 --> 01:17:43,711
actually does is the head of the
organisation himself.

1338
01:17:43,711 --> 01:17:45,671
There is no-one to give him away.

1339
01:17:45,671 --> 01:17:47,791
No-one to give him away?

1340
01:17:47,791 --> 01:17:49,751
What utter tosh.

1341
01:17:49,751 --> 01:17:52,271
What about Bradley?

1342
01:17:52,271 --> 01:17:54,431
What about the witches?

1343
01:17:54,431 --> 01:17:57,111
Neither Mr Bradley nor anyone at the
Pale Horse

1344
01:17:57,111 --> 01:18:00,191
so much as know his name,
never mind what he looks like.

1345
01:18:00,191 --> 01:18:02,871
You see, that's the key to the whole
operation.

1346
01:18:02,871 --> 01:18:05,031
Mr Bradley is handsomely paid, of
course,

1347
01:18:05,031 --> 01:18:07,151
as is Mrs Grey.

1348
01:18:07,151 --> 01:18:09,111
But so far as the world is concerned,

1349
01:18:09,111 --> 01:18:11,911
the man behind it doesn't even exist.

1350
01:18:11,911 --> 01:18:14,111
So how do you know so much?

1351
01:18:14,111 --> 01:18:18,631
There's nothing so reliable in court
as the testimony of an eyewitness.

1352
01:18:18,631 --> 01:18:21,911
For example, Mr Venables,

1353
01:18:21,911 --> 01:18:24,991
this gentleman here is willing to
swear

1354
01:18:24,991 --> 01:18:28,551
he saw you following Father Gorman
on the night of the 5th of March.

1355
01:18:28,551 --> 01:18:30,591
I did see you.

1356
01:18:30,591 --> 01:18:32,791
I described you exactly.

1357
01:18:32,791 --> 01:18:35,071
Didn't I, Miss Marple?
Yes, you did.

1358
01:18:37,031 --> 01:18:39,231
Rather too exactly perhaps.

1359
01:18:39,231 --> 01:18:41,671
Because I'm afraid you didn't see Mr
Venables

1360
01:18:41,671 --> 01:18:44,191
that night you were waiting for the
ambulance.

1361
01:18:44,191 --> 01:18:46,551
What?
Let me introduce you, Mr Venables,

1362
01:18:46,551 --> 01:18:51,471
to Mr Paul Osbourne, late of Benthall
Street, Paddington.

1363
01:18:51,471 --> 01:18:54,431
You'll feel a personal interest in
him when I tell you

1364
01:18:54,431 --> 01:18:58,711
that Mr Osbourne, who, like yourself,
has been under observation

1365
01:18:58,711 --> 01:19:01,311
by Inspector Lejeune for quite some
time,

1366
01:19:01,311 --> 01:19:06,111
was unwise enough to plant a jar
of thallium salts in your house

1367
01:19:06,111 --> 01:19:08,311
only this morning.

1368
01:19:08,311 --> 01:19:10,311
No, I didn't.
Be quiet.

1369
01:19:10,311 --> 01:19:12,671
You see,
not knowing of your condition,

1370
01:19:12,671 --> 01:19:16,671
Mr Osbourne amused himself by casting
you as the villain of the piece.

1371
01:19:16,671 --> 01:19:18,791
Miss Marple...

1372
01:19:18,791 --> 01:19:22,991
And being a very greedy, as well as a
very vain and very stupid young man,

1373
01:19:22,991 --> 01:19:25,551
he refused to admit
he'd made a mistake.

1374
01:19:25,551 --> 01:19:28,431
Worse, he tried to implicate you
further

1375
01:19:28,431 --> 01:19:30,871
by murdering Rupert Cottam.

1376
01:19:32,031 --> 01:19:36,231
Who should we look to if murder was
suspected other than the man

1377
01:19:36,231 --> 01:19:40,751
with whom the late captain had such
a longstanding and bitter feud?

1378
01:19:40,751 --> 01:19:43,271
How do you suppose I managed to
achieve that?

1379
01:19:43,271 --> 01:19:45,831
You said yourself that's not how
thallium works.

1380
01:19:45,831 --> 01:19:48,871
But it wasn't thallium you used on
poor Captain Cottam.

1381
01:19:48,871 --> 01:19:50,991
Oh, no.

1382
01:19:50,991 --> 01:19:55,191
In the kitchen, Inspector, you will
find a jar of dried beetles.

1383
01:19:55,191 --> 01:19:57,671
Lytta vesicatoria
of the meloidae family.

1384
01:19:57,671 --> 01:20:01,151
More commonly known, I believe,
as "Spanish fly".

1385
01:20:02,471 --> 01:20:04,631
Crushed to a powder,

1386
01:20:04,631 --> 01:20:08,631
and in the minutest doses, it has a
reputation as a powerful aphrodisiac.

1387
01:20:08,631 --> 01:20:10,831
Alas,

1388
01:20:10,831 --> 01:20:14,831
the potion I saw Lydia Harsnet buy
from Bella Ellis,

1389
01:20:14,831 --> 01:20:18,191
as I believe was their longstanding
arrangement,

1390
01:20:18,191 --> 01:20:20,511
was of no such minute dose.

1391
01:20:21,711 --> 01:20:24,031
But rather one that had been tampered
with

1392
01:20:24,031 --> 01:20:26,191
and prepared to a lethal strength.

1393
01:20:26,191 --> 01:20:30,151
So that when Captain Cottam drank it,
voluntarily,

1394
01:20:30,151 --> 01:20:32,831
his insides were burned beyond
saving.

1395
01:20:44,671 --> 01:20:46,631
Argh!

1396
01:20:48,911 --> 01:20:51,111
Is that not the case, Mrs Harsnet?

1397
01:20:53,271 --> 01:20:55,191
Lydia?

1398
01:20:56,311 --> 01:20:58,991
Kanga, I'm... I'm so sorry.

1399
01:20:58,991 --> 01:21:01,111
Ru insisted.

1400
01:21:01,111 --> 01:21:03,111
We'd used it before.

1401
01:21:03,111 --> 01:21:04,991
Well, you know we had.

1402
01:21:07,231 --> 01:21:09,311
You!

1403
01:21:09,311 --> 01:21:11,351
Wicked, wicked boy!

1404
01:21:11,351 --> 01:21:13,391
How could you?

1405
01:21:13,391 --> 01:21:15,431
Even then one couldn't be sure

1406
01:21:15,431 --> 01:21:18,151
that Paul Osbourne was the brains
behind it all.

1407
01:21:18,151 --> 01:21:20,871
The mysterious head of the
enterprise.

1408
01:21:20,871 --> 01:21:23,831
Not without seeing how he was going
about it.

1409
01:21:23,831 --> 01:21:26,311
So we asked Mr Easterbrook

1410
01:21:26,311 --> 01:21:28,831
to commission a little murder of our
own.

1411
01:21:28,831 --> 01:21:31,031
As Inspector Lejeune says,

1412
01:21:31,031 --> 01:21:33,711
there's nothing so reliable
as an eyewitness.

1413
01:21:33,711 --> 01:21:35,831
Miss Corrigan.

1414
01:21:35,831 --> 01:21:37,991
This brave girl put her life at risk.

1415
01:21:37,991 --> 01:21:41,991
Is this the man who came to your
door this morning to read the meter?

1416
01:21:41,991 --> 01:21:44,031
Yes!
That's a lie.

1417
01:21:44,031 --> 01:21:47,151
It's her word against mine.
You've not one whit of proof.

1418
01:21:47,151 --> 01:21:49,211
We have.

1419
01:21:49,261 --> 01:21:51,621
Officers were watching Miss
Corrigan's flat.

1420
01:21:55,141 --> 01:21:58,141
You were seen entering
and leaving the building.

1421
01:21:58,141 --> 01:22:00,141
You're lying!

1422
01:22:00,141 --> 01:22:02,301
If that were the case,

1423
01:22:02,301 --> 01:22:04,621
you would have arrested me
there and then.

1424
01:22:04,621 --> 01:22:05,821
And miss giving you a chance

1425
01:22:05,821 --> 01:22:07,941
to plant thallium at Mr Venables'
house?

1426
01:22:08,741 --> 01:22:10,901
Miss Marple thought
you might go for it.

1427
01:22:10,901 --> 01:22:12,941
And you did.

1428
01:22:12,941 --> 01:22:15,101
Hubris, inspector.

1429
01:22:15,101 --> 01:22:18,381
The arrogance of a murderer who's
escaped justice for so long

1430
01:22:18,381 --> 01:22:20,661
he thinks no-one will ever catch him.

1431
01:22:20,661 --> 01:22:23,381
You have no idea what you're talking
about.

1432
01:22:23,381 --> 01:22:25,501
Perhaps you're right.

1433
01:22:25,501 --> 01:22:27,701
Perhaps it was another Paul Osbourne

1434
01:22:27,701 --> 01:22:30,381
who was imprisoned at the age of 12
for murder?

1435
01:22:30,381 --> 01:22:32,301
Having poisoned his stepfather.

1436
01:22:33,901 --> 01:22:37,461
Too young to hang, he was detained
at His Majesty's pleasure,

1437
01:22:37,461 --> 01:22:40,741
until he was deemed cured
and ready for release.

1438
01:22:40,741 --> 01:22:42,981
But he was not cured.

1439
01:22:42,981 --> 01:22:46,021
For there was nothing wrong with him
in the first place

1440
01:22:46,021 --> 01:22:49,381
beyond a greed for money and a
propensity for wickedness.

1441
01:22:49,381 --> 01:22:52,261
And for that, I'm afraid,
there is no cure.

1442
01:22:52,261 --> 01:22:54,581
Save one.
You dare...

1443
01:22:54,581 --> 01:22:57,301
..to call me stupid?

1444
01:22:58,701 --> 01:23:00,901
If you knew...

1445
01:23:00,901 --> 01:23:04,701
If you had any idea...
what I've done.

1446
01:23:04,701 --> 01:23:07,141
Oh, I know what you've done, Paul!

1447
01:23:07,141 --> 01:23:09,261
You killed Father Gorman.

1448
01:23:12,101 --> 01:23:14,021
Argh!

1449
01:23:24,581 --> 01:23:26,781
And now I know why.

1450
01:23:26,781 --> 01:23:29,701
Really? You realised Mrs Davis
would have told him

1451
01:23:29,701 --> 01:23:31,941
what she knew of the Pale Horse.

1452
01:23:31,941 --> 01:23:36,581
And how do you imagine Mrs Davis
knew about the Pale Horse?

1453
01:23:36,581 --> 01:23:39,301
I imagine it began with something as
simple

1454
01:23:39,301 --> 01:23:42,861
as recognising a client's name
in the obituaries column.

1455
01:23:42,861 --> 01:23:44,741
And once you've seen one, well...

1456
01:23:45,941 --> 01:23:49,421
I suspect she followed Bradley
back from one of his trips

1457
01:23:49,421 --> 01:23:51,901
to the headquarters of Customer
Reactions.

1458
01:23:51,901 --> 01:23:54,661
Consulted him perhaps,
much the same as we did.

1459
01:23:54,661 --> 01:23:56,661
And that's what led her here.

1460
01:23:56,661 --> 01:23:59,301
And, well, you couldn't have that.

1461
01:23:59,301 --> 01:24:01,461
So you poisoned her.

1462
01:24:01,461 --> 01:24:03,461
You suspected Mrs Davis knew the
names

1463
01:24:03,461 --> 01:24:05,581
of all the people you had murdered.

1464
01:24:05,581 --> 01:24:07,661
Well, you were right.
She'd made a list.

1465
01:24:11,261 --> 01:24:13,341
You think you know it all,
don't you?

1466
01:24:13,341 --> 01:24:16,341
We'll see who has the last laugh.

1467
01:24:16,341 --> 01:24:18,381
You'll be sorry.

1468
01:24:18,381 --> 01:24:20,541
I presume by that

1469
01:24:20,541 --> 01:24:23,661
you're referring to the pot of face
cream I keep on the dresser?

1470
01:24:23,661 --> 01:24:25,861
The one you laced with thallium.

1471
01:24:25,861 --> 01:24:30,461
Well, fortunately for me,
I'm rather set in my ways

1472
01:24:30,461 --> 01:24:34,421
and I always keep the labels on my
potions turned towards me.

1473
01:24:35,541 --> 01:24:37,621
It's so much quicker

1474
01:24:37,621 --> 01:24:39,541
to see what you're looking for.

1475
01:24:41,261 --> 01:24:43,421
But you're ill.
As I said...

1476
01:24:43,421 --> 01:24:45,901
I may well be coming down
with a cold.

1477
01:24:45,901 --> 01:24:49,341
Your hair.
Window dressing, Mr Osbourne.

1478
01:24:50,221 --> 01:24:52,741
As Mrs Grey will confirm.

1479
01:24:52,741 --> 01:24:54,661
The trick with magic...

1480
01:24:55,781 --> 01:24:58,581
..is always to show the audience

1481
01:24:58,581 --> 01:25:01,061
exactly what it is they expect to
see.

1482
01:25:01,981 --> 01:25:03,901
Now you see it.

1483
01:25:05,341 --> 01:25:07,421
Now you don't.

1484
01:25:07,421 --> 01:25:09,461
You...

1485
01:25:09,461 --> 01:25:11,501
are an interfering old witch.

1486
01:25:11,501 --> 01:25:13,701
And I'll kill...

1487
01:25:13,701 --> 01:25:16,621
You won't be killing anybody,
not where you're going.

1488
01:25:16,621 --> 01:25:18,661
Get him out!

1489
01:25:18,661 --> 01:25:21,341
You'll all be sorry!

1490
01:25:22,621 --> 01:25:24,661
Not as sorry as he'll be...

1491
01:25:24,661 --> 01:25:27,461
I fancy. My apologies, Miss Marple.

1492
01:25:27,461 --> 01:25:29,541
No, no, Inspector.

1493
01:25:29,541 --> 01:25:31,421
Not at all.

1494
01:25:33,021 --> 01:25:35,021
You know, I...

1495
01:25:35,021 --> 01:25:37,181
I rather think I'd like a brandy.

1496
01:25:38,341 --> 01:25:41,101
I'm astounded, Miss Marple.

1497
01:25:41,101 --> 01:25:43,141
I had my mind firmly set on Mr
Venables.

1498
01:25:43,141 --> 01:25:45,341
You might have given me a hint.

1499
01:25:45,341 --> 01:25:48,061
I couldn't afford to give any hints,
I'm afraid.

1500
01:25:48,061 --> 01:25:51,141
One has to play these things
very close to one's chest.

1501
01:25:51,141 --> 01:25:54,221
In truth,
we didn't have very much to go on.

1502
01:25:54,221 --> 01:25:57,181
Which is why we staged things
the way we did.

1503
01:25:57,181 --> 01:26:00,061
With Mr Venables' co-operation,
of course.

1504
01:26:00,061 --> 01:26:01,941
Most fun I've had in years.

1505
01:26:03,621 --> 01:26:06,341
We had to lead Osbourne up the path

1506
01:26:06,341 --> 01:26:08,381
then turn on him suddenly.

1507
01:26:08,381 --> 01:26:10,421
And hope to break him down.

1508
01:26:10,421 --> 01:26:12,301
Look, look, look.

1509
01:26:15,181 --> 01:26:17,141
Just as I thought.

1510
01:26:20,221 --> 01:26:22,261
And it worked.

1511
01:26:22,261 --> 01:26:24,141
When did you begin to suspect him?

1512
01:26:25,261 --> 01:26:27,501
Well...

1513
01:26:27,501 --> 01:26:31,941
it's extraordinarily difficult to
make up a description of anybody.

1514
01:26:31,941 --> 01:26:35,261
Try it. You'll find you're
unconsciously describing

1515
01:26:35,261 --> 01:26:38,061
someone you know or you've seen
somewhere.

1516
01:26:38,061 --> 01:26:43,021
I'd say Osbourne saw Mr Venables
sitting in his car one day

1517
01:26:43,021 --> 01:26:45,181
here in Much Deeping

1518
01:26:45,181 --> 01:26:47,221
and was very struck by his
appearance.

1519
01:26:47,221 --> 01:26:49,221
But if he'd seen him that way,

1520
01:26:49,221 --> 01:26:51,661
he wouldn't know he's confined to a
wheelchair.

1521
01:26:51,661 --> 01:26:54,101
And what about Thyrza Grey's part in
all this?

1522
01:26:54,101 --> 01:26:56,981
Sybil Stamfordis and Bella.

1523
01:26:56,981 --> 01:26:59,901
I wouldn't worry too much about them,
Mr Venables.

1524
01:26:59,901 --> 01:27:04,341
I shouldn't be surprised
if some dark and moonless night,

1525
01:27:04,341 --> 01:27:08,021
they just mounted their broomsticks
and slipped quietly away.

1526
01:27:09,141 --> 01:27:11,061
Cheers.

1527
01:27:12,621 --> 01:27:14,501
(COCK CROWS)

1528
01:27:22,981 --> 01:27:25,021
Well, Miss Corrigan.

1529
01:27:25,021 --> 01:27:26,981
Good to see you looking so well.

1530
01:27:28,701 --> 01:27:31,941
Thank you, for everything.
If it hadn't been for you...

1531
01:27:31,941 --> 01:27:34,021
No, it's Father Gorman
we should thank

1532
01:27:34,021 --> 01:27:36,061
and Mrs Davis.

1533
01:27:36,061 --> 01:27:38,101
They set the ball rolling.

1534
01:27:38,101 --> 01:27:40,261
And paid for it with their lives.

1535
01:27:40,261 --> 01:27:43,741
You gave her justice, Miss Marple,
Mrs Davis. And Tommy Tuckerton,

1536
01:27:43,741 --> 01:27:46,181
Lady Hesketh-Dubois, Father Gorman,
all of them.

1537
01:27:46,181 --> 01:27:48,301
WE gave them justice.

1538
01:27:48,301 --> 01:27:50,421
So thank you, both of you,

1539
01:27:50,421 --> 01:27:53,021
agreeing to take part
in our little subterfuge.

1540
01:27:53,021 --> 01:27:55,661
I hear Mr Easterbrook played his
part to perfection.

1541
01:27:55,661 --> 01:27:57,621
According to Inspector Lejeune,

1542
01:27:57,621 --> 01:28:00,221
Mr Bradley still can't believe
