1
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,400
Where are we going, Mummy?
St Mary Mead. Not far.

3
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,040
Aunt Jane will look after us.

4
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,920
Louisa! Oh!

5
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,280
You'll be safe here tonight.

6
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,800
Tomorrow we'll go somewhere
Philip can't find you.

7
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,160
Here we are. Katherine Greenshaw
needs a secretary.

8
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,240
You can hide away here.

9
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,880
Beware Decimus. He is prone to
toppling.

10
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,640
Miss Greenshaw's father.
And eminent scientist.

11
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,678
His laboratory still occupies the
east wing.

12
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,640
Strictly out of bounds now, mind.
Far too dangerous.

13
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,798
This is Mrs Creswell, the
housekeeper. Hello.

14
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,318
You must be Archie.

15
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,318
Archie, this is your mummy's room and
that one there is yours.

16
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,998
And I'm going to look after you both.
I do all the work round here.

17
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,598
Hello, Mrs Oxley. It's very decent
of you to help us out.

18
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,318
We're in a bit of a pickle.
Miss Greenshaw helps everyone out.

19
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,318
Isn't that right, Mr Cracken?

20
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,238
Aye, it's her nature.

21
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,440
Come to the window. You can see her
in person.

22
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,120
There.

23
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,040
She's weird.

24
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,478
Don't touch!
Oh, let him be. It's only a harp.

25
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,560
If you can play the National Anthem
on that, I'll give you a toffee.

26
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,398
Sit down.

27
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,838
Oh, why in heaven's name would he
want to sit down?

28
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,238
I wouldn't want to sit down

29
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,758
and listen to a couple of old
biddies dribbling on.

30
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,398
Just go and explore, boy. Go!

31
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,400
Be careful, darling.

32
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,518
Has he got spirit?
I like a lad with spirit.

33
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,798
He has, Miss Greenshaw.

34
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,398
But he's had rather a rum do of late.

35
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,478
We're extremely grateful to you for
taking us in.

36
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,038
Well, it's all Jane's doing, Mrs
Oxley.

37
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,678
Yes, Aunt Jane has been wonderful.

38
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,998
I didn't know she was your aunt.
Oh, she's not really.

39
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,438
We just call her that.

40
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,318
I'm compiling a codex of medicinal
plants.

41
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,078
It is my life's work,

42
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,760
but I can barely see the wretched
book any more.

43
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,118
Right, tell us your qualifications.

44
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,078
Can you read and write?
Yes. Yes.

45
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,238
Typing? Bearable.

46
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,800
Bad habits? Men.

47
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,000
Ooh... You'll do.

48
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,678
But I warn you, there's no mucking
about,

49
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,678
no running off into town to play
bingo.

50
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,158
We've got 7,000 species to get
through.

51
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,918
Stay as long as you like
and I'll pay you the same as the
girl at the solicitor's...

52
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,118
What's her name? Cynthia. Cynthia.

53
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,918
Is that all settled?

54
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,240
Thank you. Thank you both so much.

55
00:04:44,840 --> 00:04:47,718
I think we'll get on very well,
Cynthia.

56
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,078
Er, I'm Louisa.
Well, who's Cynthia?

57
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,478
Cresswell? Where the devil's our
tea?

58
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,558
Are you boiling it leaf by leaf?

59
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,078
No, I'm not, I'm just waiting until
you asked for it.

60
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,880
That just means it's probably cold.
Have you brought my drops?

61
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:09,558
How are they, Katherine?

62
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,560
They're absolutely awful!

63
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,560
Oh, this is empty. I've got to brew
another batch.

64
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,760
Who are you?

65
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,118
Are you sure you don't mind looking
after Archie

66
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,838
while his mother's working?

67
00:05:55,840 --> 00:05:58,080
I'd be delighted. Not far to come.

68
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,200
He's a good little chap.

69
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:03,198
Archie, what's the matter?

70
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,478
- There was a man.
- What kind of man?

71
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,280
He had blood on his hands.

72
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,600
Did he have... black hair and
dark eyes?

73
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,678
That's Alfred, our new gardener.

74
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,998
He is nothing to be afraid of.

75
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,798
But he was cross with me.
Gardeners usually are.

76
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,238
As a rule, they're rather
ill-mannered.

77
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,240
Have some cake.

78
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:31,998
Afternoon, folks.
Oh, Nat!

79
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,638
Have you met my nephew?
He's an actor.

80
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,878
My first dress rehearsal is tonight.
I'm taking every opportunity
to run through my lines.

81
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,440
The Tangled Web for one week only
at Boreham Theatre.

82
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,640
Lucky I found some good digs, eh?

83
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,040
Oh...

84
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,400
Toodle-oo.

85
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,238
You'll find all my reference books
in here.

86
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,398
Ah! Hard at work, Mr Bindler?

87
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,158
Oh, I fear my task is endless,
Miss Greenshaw.

88
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,358
You have a superfluity of treasures.

89
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,558
Horace Bindler. Architectural
historian. How do you do?

90
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,238
How do you do?
Mr Bindler's also staying here.

91
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,920
He is preparing a book on
19th-century country homes.

92
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,198
That is so. And this one is a prime
example of what one might call

93
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,038
the catastrophic style.

94
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,958
My grandfather designed it himself.

95
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,438
Entirely by himself.

96
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,958
He's visited the Gothic cathedrals
of France

97
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,038
and also it seems the minuets of
Istanbul at some point.

98
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,678
It's not called Greenshaw's Folly
for nothing.
Thank you for tea, Katherine.

99
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,478
I really must go. Oh. Do you have
a pressing appointment?

100
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,198
Just my knitting circle at the local
orphanage.

101
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,078
It's an engagement I never miss.

102
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,318
Well, then, please.
Allow me to convey you.

103
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:08,278
I have for some time been planning
to sample the fleshpots of Boreham
Lovell.

104
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:14,038
The life of Decimus Greenshaw is
unaccountably shrouded in mystery.

105
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,598
Do you know anything about him?

106
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,358
I believe he was a scientist.
He had a laboratory here,

107
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,558
but... they won't let me in it.

108
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,880
Could make a nice detail for my
book.

109
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,560
Do you happen to know where they
keep the key?

110
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,478
Why don't you ask Miss Greenshaw?

111
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,718
Decimus was her father after all.

112
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,120
Oh, I have, but she just pulls
a face.

113
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,238
Perhaps someone in the village will
know something. Perhaps they do.

114
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,118
If you spend enough money in the
fleshpots of Boreham Lovell,

115
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:44,878
I daresay they'll offer it up.

116
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,680
Oh...

117
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,000
Do you know what this is?

118
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,198
Deadly nightshade.

119
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,960
That's poisonous!
Quite right.

120
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,840
But plants are awfully like people.

121
00:09:16,680 --> 00:09:18,998
Even the bad ones have a good side.

122
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,998
You see, I use these roots

123
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,840
to distil the chemical called
atropine.

124
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,760
It soothes sore eyes like mine.

125
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,200
Thank you, Cracken.

126
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,878
Cracken will look after you
for a little bit.

127
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,880
Very good, ma'am.

128
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,440
Afternoon, Cicely. Ladies.

129
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,718
Why didn't you invite your friend
in?

130
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,878
Well, hardly a friend, Grace.

131
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,798
I made his acquaintance an hour ago.

132
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,518
He just drove me back from
Greenshaw's Folly

133
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,318
where he's writing a book.

134
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:06,958
What were you doing up there?

135
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,760
I just went to visit Katherine
Greenshaw, Cicely.

136
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,958
I can't tell you how grateful
we at St Faith's are
for all your support, ladies.

137
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,518
Your scarves and matching mittens
always go down a storm at our
bazaars.

138
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,198
How many do you have in the orphanage
at present, Father Brophy?

139
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,358
32, Miss Beauclerk.

140
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,960
How we manage to feed them all...
I don't know.

141
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,320
Now, then, young man,

142
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,360
have you heard of the Greenshaw
ghost?

143
00:10:41,560 --> 00:10:44,838
Just a little lad, he was,
not much older than you.

144
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,840
They say he met a terrible end

145
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,278
and this his ghost, his spirit,

146
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,718
still roams the Folly,

147
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,200
looking for folk to lure to their
doom.

148
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,838
I've only seen him the once,

149
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,758
just out there on the landing.

150
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,478
But he was as pale as that milk of
yours, Archie.

151
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,480
As pale as milk.

152
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,640
Archie Oxley, I'm sure Mr Cracken
has better things to do.

153
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,038
I'll be needing the long ladder.

154
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,158
Surely it can wait until tomorrow.

155
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,478
No, it can't wait. It's dark.

156
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,120
Someone will have an accident, and we
don't want that.

157
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,758
It went bloody well, actually.

158
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,440
The director says he's got me on
line for a lead.

159
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,200
What are you hoping for?

160
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,320
Hamlet, of course.

161
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,280
Come here, you little blighter.

162
00:13:31,083 --> 00:13:33,883
Did Mr Cracken tell you the house was
haunted?

163
00:13:36,403 --> 00:13:38,643
Well, I wonder who the ghostie is
coming for next?

164
00:13:39,803 --> 00:13:42,081
Me, perhaps?

165
00:13:42,083 --> 00:13:44,843
You? Boo!

166
00:13:52,163 --> 00:13:54,163
So he was found at midnight?

167
00:13:56,043 --> 00:13:58,081
Well, erm...

168
00:13:58,083 --> 00:14:01,401
there was rather an almighty crash.

169
00:14:01,403 --> 00:14:04,403
I almost jumped out of my skin.

170
00:14:05,323 --> 00:14:07,683
I thought the old place was finally
falling down.

171
00:14:08,563 --> 00:14:12,603
And did Mr Cracken have any health
issues that you were aware of?

172
00:14:15,883 --> 00:14:18,043
We believed he'd conquered his
demons.

173
00:14:24,323 --> 00:14:26,483
That was full yesterday afternoon!

174
00:14:29,163 --> 00:14:32,163
I'd say his demons got the better of
our Walter Cracken.

175
00:14:35,763 --> 00:14:38,641
Accidents will happen, one supposes.

176
00:14:38,643 --> 00:14:40,921
Especially where single malt is
involved.

177
00:14:40,923 --> 00:14:43,601
But for all these years he hasn't
touched a drop.

178
00:14:43,603 --> 00:14:46,163
I just don't believe my butler was
a drunk!

179
00:14:46,643 --> 00:14:49,361
Oh, Jane! Um, do you know
Miss Marple, Inspector Welch?

180
00:14:49,363 --> 00:14:52,641
Miss Marple.
Yes, of course I know Miss Marple.

181
00:14:52,643 --> 00:14:54,803
How do you do, Inspector?
Sergeant Cayley?

182
00:14:56,883 --> 00:15:00,123
Yes, well, thank you, Miss Greenshaw.
You've been most helpful.

183
00:15:03,403 --> 00:15:05,403
Come on, boys, keep up!

184
00:15:44,403 --> 00:15:46,921
He's clammed up.
Doesn't trust anyone.

185
00:15:46,923 --> 00:15:51,563
Are YOU happy to stay here, Louisa?
Given what's happened?

186
00:15:53,203 --> 00:15:57,443
Surely Cracken's death was nothing
but a... dreadful accident.

187
00:15:59,203 --> 00:16:01,203
We've nowhere else to go, Aunt Jane.

188
00:16:02,443 --> 00:16:06,521
I have to be somewhere no-one would
think to look, especially Archie's
father.

189
00:16:06,523 --> 00:16:09,323
And he has your address, you know.

190
00:16:13,723 --> 00:16:16,561
Aunt Katherine asked if you could
come down for some dictation.

191
00:16:16,563 --> 00:16:19,041
She needs to work,
take her mind off things.

192
00:16:19,043 --> 00:16:21,321
Understandable. She's had a shock.

193
00:16:21,323 --> 00:16:23,563
I'll look after Archie.

194
00:16:32,763 --> 00:16:35,401
- When's your first night?
- Tonight.

195
00:16:35,403 --> 00:16:38,403
Oh, well, break a leg,
isn't that what they say?

196
00:16:59,363 --> 00:17:02,683
Poor old Cracken. Must've fallen
a fair distance.

197
00:17:05,003 --> 00:17:07,923
I ought to go and offer my
condolences to Miss Greenshaw.

198
00:17:09,523 --> 00:17:11,523
Coppers probably think I done it.

199
00:17:12,043 --> 00:17:14,083
Must be your face.

200
00:17:15,483 --> 00:17:18,721
It's rather a large house, isn't it?

201
00:17:18,723 --> 00:17:21,361
Sometimes when I'm alone in my
house,

202
00:17:21,363 --> 00:17:24,641
I get scared of all the creaks and
groans.

203
00:17:24,643 --> 00:17:28,081
Really?
That's a secret. Don't tell anyone.

204
00:17:28,083 --> 00:17:31,681
I don't want them to think
I'm completely bonkers. No, Miss.

205
00:17:31,683 --> 00:17:34,801
Has anything funny ever happened to
you?

206
00:17:34,803 --> 00:17:37,003
I promise to keep it a secret,
if it did.

207
00:17:38,283 --> 00:17:40,201
I saw a ghost.

208
00:17:40,203 --> 00:17:42,281
Did you?
Yes.

209
00:17:42,283 --> 00:17:44,201
Where was that?
Here.

210
00:17:44,203 --> 00:17:46,561
Here? On the landing.

211
00:17:46,563 --> 00:17:49,761
Just like Mr Cracken said.
As pale as milk.

212
00:17:49,763 --> 00:17:52,721
Mr Cracken was spinning a yarn,
Archie.

213
00:17:52,723 --> 00:17:55,001
No, I did see the ghost!

214
00:17:55,003 --> 00:17:57,401
When?
Last night. I was going to...

215
00:17:57,403 --> 00:18:00,561
Ah! The intrepid explorers.

216
00:18:00,563 --> 00:18:02,761
Where are you going?

217
00:18:02,763 --> 00:18:06,001
Archie and I have been viewing
the splendours of the house.

218
00:18:06,003 --> 00:18:09,441
We've just seen the crockets
on the East Tower.

219
00:18:09,443 --> 00:18:12,003
Remarkable, aren't they?

220
00:18:15,003 --> 00:18:17,003
Indeed they are.

221
00:18:52,443 --> 00:18:55,923
I don't think I could be as brave as
you if I'd just seen a ghost.

222
00:18:56,683 --> 00:19:01,321
In fact, I think you could do with
a reward for being so courageous.

223
00:19:01,323 --> 00:19:05,083
How would you like to go and see
Mr Fletcher in his play tomorrow?

224
00:19:06,483 --> 00:19:07,843
Oh!

225
00:19:08,843 --> 00:19:10,481
Afternoon, Miss.

226
00:19:10,483 --> 00:19:12,321
Archie, isn't it?

227
00:19:12,323 --> 00:19:14,801
Ever held one of these?

228
00:19:14,803 --> 00:19:16,803
Go on.

229
00:19:20,203 --> 00:19:22,723
Here you go, get your hands on that.

230
00:19:23,923 --> 00:19:25,603
Archie the archer, eh?

231
00:19:30,683 --> 00:19:32,721
How did you get those bruises?

232
00:19:32,723 --> 00:19:34,963
I got into trouble.

233
00:19:36,563 --> 00:19:39,443
Right... Come here.

234
00:19:40,203 --> 00:19:42,443
One finger above, two below,
all right?

235
00:19:43,563 --> 00:19:47,003
Eye on the target, pull as hard as
you can.

236
00:19:48,043 --> 00:19:50,643
That's the one! Good lad.

237
00:20:03,643 --> 00:20:05,203
'Polio Trials.'

238
00:20:17,803 --> 00:20:22,761
The sap of Betula lenta, more
commonly known as sweet birch,

239
00:20:22,763 --> 00:20:25,761
is a source of methyl salicylate -

240
00:20:25,763 --> 00:20:29,043
M-E-T-H-Y-L...

241
00:20:30,323 --> 00:20:33,281
What is it, Louisa? Sorry, Miss
Greenshaw, it's getting late.

242
00:20:33,283 --> 00:20:35,561
I really ought to fetch in my son.

243
00:20:35,563 --> 00:20:37,921
Archie?

244
00:20:37,923 --> 00:20:39,923
Aunt Jane?

245
00:20:40,403 --> 00:20:42,201
Archie, it's getting dark!

246
00:20:42,203 --> 00:20:45,243
Ill met by moonlight,
proud Titania!

247
00:20:47,483 --> 00:20:50,201
Oh...
I know where they are.

248
00:20:50,203 --> 00:20:52,401
Come with me.

249
00:20:52,403 --> 00:20:55,041
What were you doing in the bushes?
Audition speech.

250
00:20:55,043 --> 00:20:57,121
Shakespeare sounds better in situ.

251
00:20:57,123 --> 00:21:00,121
- He's playing bows and arrows.
- Steady. Arms straight.

252
00:21:00,123 --> 00:21:02,201
Eye on the target.
Are you out of your mind?

253
00:21:02,203 --> 00:21:04,361
You don't give a weapon to a child.

254
00:21:04,363 --> 00:21:06,803
It's just a game, Louisa.
He's perfectly safe.

255
00:21:08,763 --> 00:21:12,483
Oh... Sorry.

256
00:21:14,283 --> 00:21:16,683
Your hands are filthy.
We're going inside.

257
00:21:21,843 --> 00:21:25,963
Nice when you make a good impression,
isn't it? Great!

258
00:22:00,083 --> 00:22:02,401
A toast.

259
00:22:02,403 --> 00:22:05,041
To a fine butler, a true gentleman

260
00:22:05,043 --> 00:22:06,761
and...
Please.

261
00:22:06,763 --> 00:22:09,723
Father Brophy,
I think that's quite enough.

262
00:22:10,923 --> 00:22:13,001
Ah, Mr Bindler. Mulled wine?

263
00:22:13,003 --> 00:22:17,003
Mulled wine BEFORE dinner!
How exquisitely rural! Yes, please.

264
00:22:18,003 --> 00:22:21,121
Are your investigations bearing
fruit?

265
00:22:21,123 --> 00:22:23,921
The Greenshaws are a fascinating
family.

266
00:22:23,923 --> 00:22:27,121
The fruit hangs low on the bough.

267
00:22:27,123 --> 00:22:29,083
All one has to do is pick it.

268
00:22:31,123 --> 00:22:33,123
Thank you.

269
00:22:35,683 --> 00:22:39,841
So, when is everyone coming to
Boreham Theatre?

270
00:22:39,843 --> 00:22:43,641
Think what it will be like
when I'm famous,
to say you saw me in an early role.

271
00:22:43,643 --> 00:22:47,281
Those film stars earn good money.
I'm a classical actor, sir.

272
00:22:47,283 --> 00:22:49,121
I have no ambition to be
a film star.

273
00:22:49,123 --> 00:22:52,681
Can one make a living on the stage,
Mr Fletcher?

274
00:22:52,683 --> 00:22:54,641
Well, not in a Number Two Tour, no.

275
00:22:54,643 --> 00:22:58,841
The rewards are so meagre that I've
often considered setting up
a charity,

276
00:22:58,843 --> 00:23:01,361
like yours, Father,
just to make ends meet.

277
00:23:01,363 --> 00:23:06,481
Oh, I say, steady on, there's no -
No, no, I didn't mean that.

278
00:23:06,483 --> 00:23:09,681
Just that actors and orphans have
a lot in common, that's all.

279
00:23:09,683 --> 00:23:14,041
Yes, but I rather think that orphans
are rather more deserving of our
generosity than actors.

280
00:23:14,043 --> 00:23:18,083
Well, since I am both,
I stand to profit either way.

281
00:23:29,843 --> 00:23:32,283
What is it?
The ghost! The ghost!

282
00:23:34,763 --> 00:23:36,043
Where?

283
00:23:56,043 --> 00:23:57,643
It's all right, darling.

284
00:24:01,763 --> 00:24:04,561
I thought you could both do with
a nice cup of cocoa.

285
00:24:04,563 --> 00:24:05,883
Oh, thank you,

286
00:24:06,923 --> 00:24:09,163
Uh! That's Mr Bindler's bedtime
snack.

287
00:24:13,323 --> 00:24:16,123
Ah. Not yet. It's too hot.

288
00:24:18,763 --> 00:24:20,763
Oh, my God!

289
00:24:32,123 --> 00:24:33,923
But where is Mr Bindler?

290
00:24:53,203 --> 00:24:55,321
Good morning.
I wish it was, Miss Marple,

291
00:24:55,323 --> 00:24:57,201
but Mr Bindler has vanished in the
night,

292
00:24:57,203 --> 00:25:00,243
leaving me with a shocking awful
mess to clear up.

293
00:25:04,483 --> 00:25:09,803
I saw the ghost again last night.
The same one? Pale and cloaked?

294
00:25:11,643 --> 00:25:13,643
I do think you're brave, Archie.

295
00:25:15,683 --> 00:25:17,921
So you really have no idea who
they're from?

296
00:25:17,923 --> 00:25:19,921
Oh, what beautiful lilies!

297
00:25:19,923 --> 00:25:23,401
Lilium rubellum, to be precise.

298
00:25:23,403 --> 00:25:25,683
Louisa has a secret admirer.

299
00:25:29,043 --> 00:25:33,083
It looks like there are presents
for everyone today. Archie.

300
00:25:34,923 --> 00:25:37,681
From the nursery. Unopened.

301
00:25:37,683 --> 00:25:40,681
An archery set.

302
00:25:40,683 --> 00:25:42,841
Take it out and shoot something!

303
00:25:42,843 --> 00:25:44,883
Thank you.

304
00:25:46,643 --> 00:25:49,883
Stay near the house.
He can't do any harm.

305
00:26:01,123 --> 00:26:03,123
The cup that cheers.

306
00:26:13,403 --> 00:26:15,121
His fire hasn't been lit.

307
00:26:15,123 --> 00:26:19,841
I tried to light it last night, but
Mr Bindler threw me out on my ear.

308
00:26:19,843 --> 00:26:22,121
Said he was perfectly warm.

309
00:26:22,123 --> 00:26:24,123
It was such a cold night.

310
00:26:31,043 --> 00:26:33,243
Oughtn't you to answer that,
Mrs Cresswell?

311
00:26:35,843 --> 00:26:39,961
Yes, well, that used to be
Mr Cracken's duty.

312
00:26:39,963 --> 00:26:42,041
I suppose I ought to get used to
that now.

313
00:26:42,043 --> 00:26:45,883
Just one more ruddy thing to think
about.

314
00:27:30,457 --> 00:27:35,697
The production of this organic
compound is thought to be a natural
defence against...

315
00:27:37,457 --> 00:27:39,057
That is odd.

316
00:27:41,097 --> 00:27:44,577
Did you move the paperweight, Louisa?
I... No.

317
00:27:47,977 --> 00:27:50,815
Excuse me, Miss Greenshaw.
Father Brophy is here to see you.

318
00:27:50,817 --> 00:27:52,817
Huh...

319
00:27:56,257 --> 00:27:58,775
She let you out, then? That's
unusual.

320
00:27:58,777 --> 00:28:00,257
Mm...

321
00:28:02,217 --> 00:28:03,855
Father Brophy.

322
00:28:03,857 --> 00:28:07,215
Oh. Come to rattle his collecting
tin?

323
00:28:07,217 --> 00:28:08,897
A rather large one, I'd say.

324
00:28:10,777 --> 00:28:12,095
Rubbish!

325
00:28:12,097 --> 00:28:14,097
It's regarding St Faith's.

326
00:28:15,377 --> 00:28:17,655
Your remark to Mr Fletcher last
night

327
00:28:17,657 --> 00:28:20,817
that an orphan's hand might be more
deserving than... Father...

328
00:28:24,337 --> 00:28:26,295
Remember the children.

329
00:28:26,297 --> 00:28:30,215
I will. Along with your gambling
debts and bar bills.

330
00:28:30,217 --> 00:28:32,415
Every penny would go to those
that most need it.

331
00:28:32,417 --> 00:28:34,215
You promised me that the last time.

332
00:28:34,217 --> 00:28:38,375
St Faith's will be taken care of,
after I'm gone.

333
00:28:38,377 --> 00:28:40,295
But if you could release some funds
now...

334
00:28:40,297 --> 00:28:42,297
The answer is no, Father Brophy!

335
00:28:46,057 --> 00:28:48,057
In you go.

336
00:28:49,297 --> 00:28:53,855
Oh. Are you off, Father?
Just heading for the bus stop.

337
00:28:53,857 --> 00:28:57,257
Hop in with us. Archie and I are
going to the theatre.

338
00:29:13,057 --> 00:29:17,055
You? How did you find me?

339
00:29:17,057 --> 00:29:19,895
Damn your eyes, Parsons.
You've double-crossed me!

340
00:29:19,897 --> 00:29:22,695
I'll see you in hell for this!

341
00:29:22,697 --> 00:29:25,537
You'll be waiting a long time,
Lambert!

342
00:29:58,377 --> 00:30:00,295
Here's Mr Fletcher...
Hello?

343
00:30:00,297 --> 00:30:05,177
Yes, I wonder, do you have
a reporter called Horace Bindler
working at the Clarion?

344
00:30:06,577 --> 00:30:09,815
No, I've found his notebook,
I'm trying to return it to him.

345
00:30:09,817 --> 00:30:14,697
You have a Horace Lethbridge?

346
00:30:15,577 --> 00:30:17,415
Yes. Dapper, certainly.

347
00:30:17,417 --> 00:30:19,895
Does he wear a bow-tie?

348
00:30:19,897 --> 00:30:22,737
Well, could I speak to him, please?

349
00:30:23,857 --> 00:30:25,935
You haven't seen him at all?

350
00:30:25,937 --> 00:30:29,737
He was due to 'file copy' yesterday!

351
00:30:32,137 --> 00:30:34,257
Yes, thank you so much.

352
00:30:39,737 --> 00:30:42,135
We've been running a sweepstake,
Miss Marple.

353
00:30:42,137 --> 00:30:47,175
The boys have been taking bets on
how long it would be before
you put in an appearance here.

354
00:30:47,177 --> 00:30:49,257
Oh, that is a pity.
Why?

355
00:30:50,297 --> 00:30:54,095
Book-making for cash is, as you know,
illegal,

356
00:30:54,097 --> 00:30:56,975
and I'd hate to think of the trouble
your officers would be in

357
00:30:56,977 --> 00:30:59,695
when the authorities find out.
Now hang on, just a...

358
00:30:59,697 --> 00:31:01,935
I'd like you to do something for me.

359
00:31:01,937 --> 00:31:04,895
And what would that be?
A postmortem.

360
00:31:04,897 --> 00:31:07,655
But you're still alive, Miss Marple.

361
00:31:07,657 --> 00:31:11,897
We generally reserve postmortems for
dead people. Very good.

362
00:31:12,977 --> 00:31:17,815
But you can order a postmortem if
the death is held to be suspicious.

363
00:31:17,817 --> 00:31:20,215
And whose death is held to be
suspicious?

364
00:31:20,217 --> 00:31:22,415
Walter Cracken's.

365
00:31:22,417 --> 00:31:25,575
A heavily drunk man falling from
a ladder

366
00:31:25,577 --> 00:31:28,015
isn't what we regard as suspicious
circumstances.

367
00:31:28,017 --> 00:31:32,495
But can we be sure he was drunk?
A postmortem would prove it.

368
00:31:32,497 --> 00:31:35,455
A known alcoholic up a ladder at
midnight

369
00:31:35,457 --> 00:31:37,855
with a decanter of whisky inside
him.

370
00:31:37,857 --> 00:31:40,295
We'd be laughed out of the coroner's
office.

371
00:31:40,297 --> 00:31:44,055
Well, I'm sure you know your
business.

372
00:31:44,057 --> 00:31:46,057
Good day.

373
00:31:48,697 --> 00:31:50,897
Sir. Something's come up.

374
00:31:58,177 --> 00:32:00,855
We'll only here for a little while,
Archie.

375
00:32:00,857 --> 00:32:03,975
And then we'll go to a new house and
start a new life.

376
00:32:03,977 --> 00:32:06,855
Where?
I don't know.

377
00:32:06,857 --> 00:32:08,535
Another country, maybe.

378
00:32:08,537 --> 00:32:10,815
I don't want to go to another
country!

379
00:32:10,817 --> 00:32:12,937
I want to stay here with Alfred!

380
00:32:14,777 --> 00:32:17,177
What's the matter, Mummy?
Is it the ghost?

381
00:32:19,097 --> 00:32:21,097
It can't be...

382
00:32:23,777 --> 00:32:26,895
Mummy, I don't want to leave!

383
00:32:26,897 --> 00:32:31,097
No, stop the car! Please stop the
car! No!

384
00:32:38,057 --> 00:32:39,617
Are you all right, darling?

385
00:32:40,217 --> 00:32:43,015
Don't worry, everything's going to
be all right. You hear me?

386
00:32:43,017 --> 00:32:44,897
Everything is going to be
all right.

387
00:32:50,537 --> 00:32:52,335
Are you all right?

388
00:32:52,337 --> 00:32:54,135
Yes, yes.

389
00:32:54,137 --> 00:32:56,417
Get out, come with me.

390
00:33:09,057 --> 00:33:10,617
I'm as jumpy as Archie.

391
00:33:12,817 --> 00:33:15,615
I was so sure I saw his face at the
window.

392
00:33:15,617 --> 00:33:17,177
It seems so silly now.

393
00:33:25,577 --> 00:33:27,657
I was very young when I met my
husband.

394
00:33:29,257 --> 00:33:32,177
Philip was the debonair doctor.

395
00:33:35,377 --> 00:33:37,377
But a sadist.

396
00:33:40,377 --> 00:33:44,057
Each of these came with a promise
that he'd never hurt me again.

397
00:33:45,937 --> 00:33:48,577
He's killed my belief that a person
can change.

398
00:33:50,697 --> 00:33:54,817
You don't think a person can change?
No. I don't.

399
00:33:59,097 --> 00:34:01,375
I should have left him a long time
ago, but...

400
00:34:01,377 --> 00:34:07,017
but every time I tried, he'd
convince me that a child needs a
father.

401
00:34:08,057 --> 00:34:09,577
A father who beat his own son?

402
00:34:12,097 --> 00:34:13,977
That was the last straw.

403
00:34:15,137 --> 00:34:16,257
I got out.

404
00:34:17,377 --> 00:34:20,697
And now I'm terrified that it was
him who sent me those flowers...

405
00:34:23,177 --> 00:34:25,535
just to let me know
he's coming for me.

406
00:34:25,537 --> 00:34:28,895
I've met quite a few thugs like him.

407
00:34:28,897 --> 00:34:31,817
Once the others tumbled 'em,
they... didn't stand a chance.

408
00:34:33,017 --> 00:34:35,017
The others?

409
00:34:37,777 --> 00:34:45,377
Inside. They'd get the bastards in an
empty cell and... teach 'em a lesson.

410
00:34:49,497 --> 00:34:52,095
I moved around a lot when I was
a boy.

411
00:34:52,097 --> 00:34:56,217
Just one... horrible situation to the
next.

412
00:34:58,097 --> 00:34:59,977
Prison was just the next step.

413
00:35:10,177 --> 00:35:13,097
Who's there?
It's Nat. Nat Fletcher.

414
00:35:21,457 --> 00:35:23,257
Oh...

415
00:35:24,897 --> 00:35:26,055
Er...

416
00:35:26,057 --> 00:35:30,655
I was coming back from the theatre
and I noticed your car in the trees.

417
00:35:30,657 --> 00:35:33,097
When I saw that it was empty,
the alarm bells sounded.

418
00:35:34,617 --> 00:35:37,017
I thought you and I could form
a search party.

419
00:35:38,217 --> 00:35:40,855
No need, it seems. You've been out
and searched already!

420
00:35:40,857 --> 00:35:44,775
Yes. Hit a wet patch of leaves,
that's all.

421
00:35:44,777 --> 00:35:49,135
Just a silly skid. Well, you can't
stay here in this dump.

422
00:35:49,137 --> 00:35:51,735
Hot baths and your own beds
are what you need.

423
00:35:51,737 --> 00:35:53,097
I'll take you back. Come on.

424
00:35:54,177 --> 00:35:56,095
Come on, little chap. Wakey wakey!

425
00:35:56,097 --> 00:35:58,455
Yes, thank you.

426
00:35:58,457 --> 00:36:00,895
Archie?

427
00:36:00,897 --> 00:36:02,897
Archie darling?

428
00:36:14,657 --> 00:36:17,177
Good morning, Alfred. Lovely day.

429
00:36:18,257 --> 00:36:19,857
Is it?

430
00:36:26,497 --> 00:36:31,135
Father Brophy tells me you've become
quite the regular up at Greenshaw's
Folly.

431
00:36:31,137 --> 00:36:33,975
Well, it is a fascinating place.

432
00:36:33,977 --> 00:36:35,777
In fact, I've been wondering

433
00:36:36,737 --> 00:36:39,655
if you might be able to shed
some light

434
00:36:39,657 --> 00:36:42,417
on some of Mr Bindler's notes that
have come my way,

435
00:36:43,137 --> 00:36:46,375
er, since you've lived in Boreham
your whole life.

436
00:36:46,377 --> 00:36:51,137
Now, there's something about
St Faith's and Decimus Greenshaw...

437
00:36:52,537 --> 00:36:54,337
The old professor?

438
00:36:55,177 --> 00:36:58,495
Well, he was no philanthropist
as far as I'm aware, anyway.

439
00:36:58,497 --> 00:37:01,135
What was his connection with the
orphanage?

440
00:37:01,137 --> 00:37:03,057
What is 'The Great Race'?

441
00:37:05,537 --> 00:37:06,935
I-I-I'm sorry.

442
00:37:06,937 --> 00:37:09,615
I-I suddenly feel rather faint.

443
00:37:09,617 --> 00:37:13,655
Cicely? I haven't been feeling myself
recently.

444
00:37:13,657 --> 00:37:16,577
Sorry, I'll get you some water.

445
00:37:24,137 --> 00:37:26,335
There you are.

446
00:37:26,337 --> 00:37:27,857
Thank you.

447
00:37:48,137 --> 00:37:50,417
Good morning.

448
00:37:50,937 --> 00:37:53,015
Oh, you've er...

449
00:37:53,017 --> 00:37:56,535
you've caught me before I'm properly
up and about, Miss Marple.

450
00:37:56,537 --> 00:37:58,375
Your commitment puts me to shame.

451
00:37:58,377 --> 00:38:03,615
Can I... Can I help with
preparations for the bazaar?

452
00:38:03,617 --> 00:38:04,895
Oh, no. Thank you.

453
00:38:04,897 --> 00:38:08,775
I'd like to see the orphanage records
if I may?

454
00:38:08,777 --> 00:38:11,097
If you're up to showing me, that is.

455
00:38:15,417 --> 00:38:17,417
Thank you.

456
00:38:27,257 --> 00:38:28,537
That's odd. There's a gap.

457
00:38:29,337 --> 00:38:33,097
The years between 1900 and 1910
are missing.

458
00:38:33,737 --> 00:38:36,057
It's before my time, I'm afraid.

459
00:38:45,577 --> 00:38:47,575
Alfred!

460
00:38:47,577 --> 00:38:49,777
What the devil's going on?

461
00:38:53,377 --> 00:38:55,737
Are you stealing from me?

462
00:38:57,057 --> 00:38:59,017
I think we ought to have a talk.

463
00:39:19,177 --> 00:39:21,615
You're right. People can't change.

464
00:39:21,617 --> 00:39:23,777
Least I've still got a job.

465
00:39:32,777 --> 00:39:35,097
Who's there?

466
00:39:45,497 --> 00:39:47,535
Oh, Jane.

467
00:39:47,537 --> 00:39:49,095
Have you heard about Mr Bindler?

468
00:39:49,097 --> 00:39:51,855
The police have found his car in the
bottom of a lake.

469
00:39:51,857 --> 00:39:56,257
Yes, I heard. And Bindler himself?
Any sign?

470
00:39:57,897 --> 00:39:59,575
Strange business.

471
00:39:59,577 --> 00:40:02,577
Mrs Cresswell asked me to give you
that. It was on the mat.

472
00:40:11,737 --> 00:40:14,055
'Remember the children.

473
00:40:14,057 --> 00:40:18,737
St Faith's Orphanage, 1899.'

474
00:40:19,737 --> 00:40:21,737
Sent anonymously, I take it?

475
00:40:24,457 --> 00:40:28,857
From someone with some connection
to my late father's work, I fear.

476
00:40:32,697 --> 00:40:36,217
I had no idea the orphanage was
tangled up in it all.

477
00:40:41,337 --> 00:40:43,217
Hm...

478
00:40:45,257 --> 00:40:47,855
Want to tell me about it, Katherine?

479
00:40:47,857 --> 00:40:51,497
What did he do?
What was 'The Great Race'?

480
00:40:54,177 --> 00:40:56,177
Well, er...

481
00:40:56,977 --> 00:41:00,255
They were trying to find a cure
for polio.

482
00:41:00,257 --> 00:41:01,897
It was all very urgent.

483
00:41:04,217 --> 00:41:07,537
I was too young to understand what
went on in his laboratory,

484
00:41:09,097 --> 00:41:10,657
but there were rumours.

485
00:41:13,657 --> 00:41:18,017
I recall hearing ambulances coming
and going,

486
00:41:18,977 --> 00:41:21,537
raised voices in the night.

487
00:41:23,257 --> 00:41:27,455
And these recent uncertainties have
brought back those memories -

488
00:41:27,457 --> 00:41:33,617
thefts, accidents, objects
mysteriously moved.

489
00:41:34,257 --> 00:41:38,975
And have these incidents continued
since Mr Bindler's disappearance?

490
00:41:38,977 --> 00:41:40,977
Yes.

491
00:41:42,457 --> 00:41:44,857
What is going on, Jane?

492
00:41:46,017 --> 00:41:50,417
I ought to get around to making
my will, just in case I'm next!

493
00:42:02,257 --> 00:42:04,257
Cicely!

494
00:42:17,217 --> 00:42:20,855
The candlesticks were a gift from my
father when I graduated from Oxford.

495
00:42:20,857 --> 00:42:24,537
I took a double first in chemistry,
you know.

496
00:42:27,017 --> 00:42:30,377
But... it didn't teach me a lot about
people.

497
00:42:31,937 --> 00:42:35,215
I was convinced that if I took that
young man under my wing,

498
00:42:35,217 --> 00:42:37,217
that he would mend his ways.

499
00:42:38,137 --> 00:42:40,655
You may still be right.

500
00:42:40,657 --> 00:42:42,615
No.

501
00:42:42,617 --> 00:42:48,017
When he came here, Alfred had just
served three months in Barlinnie
Prison for theft.

502
00:42:48,937 --> 00:42:51,377
Old habits, it seems, die hard.

503
00:42:52,697 --> 00:42:57,177
He's certainly proving a tonic
to Archie. And Louisa.

504
00:42:59,897 --> 00:43:01,777
'Thou art thy mother's glass...

505
00:43:03,617 --> 00:43:05,215
and she in thee.

506
00:43:05,217 --> 00:43:08,375
Calls back the lovely April
of her prime.'

507
00:43:08,377 --> 00:43:11,297
Shakespeare's sonnet, number...?

508
00:43:12,817 --> 00:43:14,017
Three.

509
00:43:23,217 --> 00:43:27,815
I say, Alfred. Auntie wants you
to turn over the compost heap.

510
00:43:27,817 --> 00:43:30,057
Now, if you don't mind. Toodle-pip.

511
00:43:31,897 --> 00:43:34,815
Yes, well, I should be getting back
to work too.

512
00:43:34,817 --> 00:43:36,335
No rest for the wicked, eh?

513
00:43:36,337 --> 00:43:39,255
What makes you think I'm wicked?
Everybody is.

514
00:43:39,257 --> 00:43:42,655
Ah! Can I give you a ride into
Boreham, Miss Marple?

515
00:43:42,657 --> 00:43:45,935
Oh, are you going that way?
Half-hour call's at 2:30.

516
00:43:45,937 --> 00:43:48,215
In fact, you can hear my lines
on the way!

517
00:43:48,217 --> 00:43:50,497
Oh!
I'll bring the motor round.

518
00:44:31,897 --> 00:44:33,815
If you need anything else,
Mrs Oxley,

519
00:44:33,817 --> 00:44:36,575
I'll be in my quarters
itemising the accounts.

520
00:44:36,577 --> 00:44:39,937
Thank you, Mrs Cresswell. Another job
the butler's meant to do.

521
00:45:09,177 --> 00:45:11,337
I'm still in here!

522
00:45:14,537 --> 00:45:16,017
Help!

523
00:46:18,217 --> 00:46:21,095
He shot me!
Miss Greenshaw!

524
00:46:21,097 --> 00:46:23,815
Mrs Cresswell... Get help!

525
00:46:23,817 --> 00:46:25,937
Help!

526
00:46:26,817 --> 00:46:29,255
Help! Help!

527
00:46:29,365 --> 00:46:31,922
You take the bus from Holborn Station

528
00:46:31,924 --> 00:46:34,522
and it stops right outside
Somerset House.

529
00:46:34,524 --> 00:46:38,362
Now, your instructions are in here.
Oh! A mission to London!

530
00:46:38,364 --> 00:46:41,003
Cicely and Grace will be green with
envy.

531
00:46:41,005 --> 00:46:43,323
Let's keep it to ourselves.

532
00:46:43,325 --> 00:46:47,003
I suppose I should really take
a message for Father Brophy.

533
00:46:47,005 --> 00:46:51,443
He's most likely visiting some needy
parishioner. Yes, most likely, dear.

534
00:46:51,445 --> 00:46:53,965
St Faith's Orphanage. Can I help?

535
00:46:56,084 --> 00:47:00,925
A what? Your... voice is very faint.

536
00:47:03,245 --> 00:47:04,883
Yes, she's here.

537
00:47:04,885 --> 00:47:07,965
Miss Greenshaw? Are you there?

538
00:47:09,685 --> 00:47:11,883
Hello? Katherine?

539
00:47:11,885 --> 00:47:14,725
Kath...
The line's gone dead.

540
00:47:15,924 --> 00:47:18,204
She sounded most peculiar.

541
00:47:20,124 --> 00:47:21,842
Sort of garbled. Drowsy.

542
00:47:21,844 --> 00:47:24,523
What did she want?
Fish.

543
00:47:24,525 --> 00:47:26,963
Fish?
Yes.

544
00:47:26,965 --> 00:47:31,284
A mound of cod... or a pile of carp.

545
00:47:32,325 --> 00:47:36,005
No, a heap of haddock.
I think that's what she said.

546
00:47:38,525 --> 00:47:42,282
But surely it can wait?
No, I don't think so, Minnie.

547
00:47:42,284 --> 00:47:45,364
I... I fear it can't.

548
00:47:50,845 --> 00:47:53,124
Can your hear me? Miss Greenshaw!

549
00:47:54,965 --> 00:47:57,082
I've called the police.
They're on their way.

550
00:47:57,084 --> 00:48:00,164
Oh, come and let me out!
I can't. I'm locked in too!

551
00:48:01,804 --> 00:48:03,802
Oh, God. Archie!

552
00:48:03,804 --> 00:48:06,723
Help! Help!

553
00:48:06,725 --> 00:48:09,162
Don't be afraid.

554
00:48:09,164 --> 00:48:13,562
I won't let them hurt you again.

555
00:48:13,564 --> 00:48:16,245
Greenshaw's not going to get away
with it this time, Edwin.

556
00:48:19,724 --> 00:48:22,083
It's no good.
I can't climb down from here.

557
00:48:22,085 --> 00:48:24,605
Do be careful, Mrs Oxley.

558
00:48:25,525 --> 00:48:26,923
Oh! Oh, thank goodness!

559
00:48:26,925 --> 00:48:29,802
Please! Please hurry! Miss
Greenshaw's been attacked!

560
00:48:29,804 --> 00:48:33,484
She's in the house! Please hurry!
She's been badly hurt!

561
00:48:37,245 --> 00:48:41,842
Oh, please, Edwin, do as I say.
It's for the best.

562
00:48:41,844 --> 00:48:43,842
My name's Archie! Who are you?

563
00:48:43,844 --> 00:48:47,162
Oh! Here's a stroke of luck.

564
00:48:47,164 --> 00:48:50,643
Please, can you please help
dear Edwin?

565
00:48:50,645 --> 00:48:53,723
The Greenshaws are trying to kill
him!

566
00:48:53,725 --> 00:48:55,842
You'd better hop in, then, Archie.

567
00:48:55,844 --> 00:48:58,485
No, Daddy!
Archie! Archie!

568
00:48:59,484 --> 00:49:02,924
Archie! Archie! Come here!

569
00:49:04,804 --> 00:49:05,843
Archie!

570
00:49:05,845 --> 00:49:09,445
Constable! What's he doing down
there?

571
00:49:11,085 --> 00:49:12,765
Archie!

572
00:49:18,965 --> 00:49:21,445
Alfie!

573
00:49:46,925 --> 00:49:48,723
Let's try the back.
Oh, thank heavens.

574
00:49:48,725 --> 00:49:50,442
Please, Inspector!

575
00:49:50,444 --> 00:49:54,362
Miss Greenshaw's been shot -
with an arrow!

576
00:49:54,364 --> 00:49:57,444
She stumbled into the house!
And we're locked in!

577
00:50:04,285 --> 00:50:07,725
I want the whole place searched.
Seal it off. Nobody leaves.

578
00:50:16,844 --> 00:50:19,243
Archie? Where are you, darling?

579
00:50:19,245 --> 00:50:21,804
I wouldn't go down there, Miss.
I have to find my son!

580
00:50:38,964 --> 00:50:42,643
Oh, Aunt Jane! Archie's disappeared!
I think Philip may have found us!

581
00:50:42,645 --> 00:50:45,483
Miss Marple, Mrs Oxley...
My son has been kidnapped!

582
00:50:45,485 --> 00:50:47,602
I need you to stay calm.
You must find him!

583
00:50:47,604 --> 00:50:50,722
Right now my prime concern is
the murder of Katherine Greenshaw.

584
00:50:50,724 --> 00:50:54,125
Katherine? Murdered?

585
00:50:55,565 --> 00:50:59,203
Mrs Oxley! That's is a murder scene.
do not disturb the evidence.

586
00:50:59,205 --> 00:51:01,685
- Let's get everyone into the library.
- Please!

587
00:51:21,125 --> 00:51:23,523
Inspector Welch will have my guts
for garters.

588
00:51:23,525 --> 00:51:26,282
Could you please do as I ask?

589
00:51:26,284 --> 00:51:28,645
Come and wait in the library.

590
00:51:37,005 --> 00:51:41,082
I asked you to remain in the library,
Miss Marple. Hm?

591
00:51:41,084 --> 00:51:45,042
Yes. Yes, it's just that I have some
information

592
00:51:45,044 --> 00:51:47,762
I thought you might be interested
in.

593
00:51:47,764 --> 00:51:53,203
At two minutes past four, I had a
very odd call from Miss Greenshaw,

594
00:51:53,205 --> 00:51:56,563
asking for a 'heap of haddock'
or some such thing.

595
00:51:56,565 --> 00:52:01,522
Miss Marple, at two minutes past
four, Miss Greenshaw had just been
shot in the neck.

596
00:52:01,524 --> 00:52:05,603
You'd think she'd have mentioned that
before she asked you to go to the
fishmonger's.

597
00:52:05,605 --> 00:52:10,403
All I'm interested in at the moment
is establishing who might have been
here at the time.

598
00:52:10,405 --> 00:52:13,884
Now... go and wait in the library!

599
00:52:22,844 --> 00:52:26,605
No-one comes in or out.
You see anyone coming in,
you come straight to me.

600
00:52:30,845 --> 00:52:33,202
What the hell's going on?
Nathaniel Fletcher?

601
00:52:33,204 --> 00:52:37,163
I'd be grateful if you'd go and wait
with the others, please.
Others? What others?

602
00:52:37,165 --> 00:52:40,202
Follow me.

603
00:52:40,204 --> 00:52:44,285
Round the back!
Come into the library, sir.

604
00:52:52,605 --> 00:52:55,363
Mummy!
Oh, my darling! Thank God!

605
00:52:55,365 --> 00:52:57,443
I've been so worried!
Where have you been?

606
00:52:57,445 --> 00:52:58,602
With an old lady.

607
00:52:58,604 --> 00:53:00,922
Then Daddy came and tried to take me
away.

608
00:53:00,924 --> 00:53:04,123
But Alfred wouldn't let him.
He punched him on the nose!

609
00:53:04,125 --> 00:53:07,002
Daddy was bleeding.
Where's Daddy now?

610
00:53:07,004 --> 00:53:11,643
He gave us the slip, I'm afraid,
Mrs Oxley. We couldn't catch him.

611
00:53:11,645 --> 00:53:15,323
So as an alternative you've arrested
the man who protected my son?

612
00:53:15,325 --> 00:53:18,885
We haven't arrested him.
We've asked him in for questioning.

613
00:53:21,044 --> 00:53:23,282
Pollock's, sir.
Found it in his cottage.

614
00:53:23,284 --> 00:53:25,325
Seems he was all packed and ready
to scarper.

615
00:53:30,125 --> 00:53:33,005
If you would care to have a seat,
Miss Marple.

616
00:53:34,365 --> 00:53:36,365
Sir.

617
00:53:36,925 --> 00:53:39,603
That MG we passed on the way up,
with the door open.

618
00:53:39,605 --> 00:53:42,763
The lads on the gate say it's gone.
I think it was Philip Oxley's.

619
00:53:42,765 --> 00:53:44,765
Have you told Control?

620
00:53:48,045 --> 00:53:50,365
If you would care to have a seat,
Miss Marple.

621
00:53:56,125 --> 00:53:58,483
Did you notice anyone hanging around
the vicinity

622
00:53:58,485 --> 00:54:00,762
when you arrived in Mr Inch's taxi?

623
00:54:00,764 --> 00:54:02,963
I did. Father Brophy.

624
00:54:02,965 --> 00:54:06,404
He was hurrying towards
the bus stop. Brophy?

625
00:54:08,044 --> 00:54:09,242
Bring him in.

626
00:54:09,244 --> 00:54:11,484
But sir, he's a man of the cloth.
Bring him in!

627
00:54:12,564 --> 00:54:16,563
And your mistress definitely shouted,
'HE shot me'?

628
00:54:16,565 --> 00:54:19,602
Loud and clear, Inspector.

629
00:54:19,604 --> 00:54:22,084
Mrs Oxley and I both heard her.

630
00:54:23,925 --> 00:54:27,883
And then what happened?
Then she pointed across the lawn.

631
00:54:27,885 --> 00:54:30,444
In which direction?

632
00:54:33,485 --> 00:54:37,764
Towards the cottage where Alfred
Pollock lives.

633
00:54:38,405 --> 00:54:41,644
And you say he always finishes
at four o'clock exactly?

634
00:54:45,765 --> 00:54:47,765
It's my fault.

635
00:54:49,325 --> 00:54:51,285
I saw him stealing.

636
00:54:55,805 --> 00:54:58,605
Do you think he did this
to keep her quiet?

637
00:55:01,205 --> 00:55:03,325
One of yours?

638
00:55:07,885 --> 00:55:11,684
And you had your eye on these
as well, so I hear.

639
00:55:15,284 --> 00:55:18,124
Where you were at four o'clock
this afternoon, Mr Pollock?

640
00:55:19,804 --> 00:55:22,284
In the grounds.
Digging the compost heap.

641
00:55:24,125 --> 00:55:25,684
Want to come and dust it for prints?

642
00:55:27,125 --> 00:55:29,522
Was anyone with you?
No.

643
00:55:29,524 --> 00:55:32,763
No alibi, a motive to silence the
victim,

644
00:55:32,765 --> 00:55:35,643
rucksack packed and ready for a quick
departure.

645
00:55:35,645 --> 00:55:39,445
Oh, and a criminal record.
I nearly forgot.

646
00:55:40,645 --> 00:55:42,122
Who would do a thing like that?

647
00:55:42,124 --> 00:55:46,604
We're pretty close to establishing
that, Mr Fletcher. Are you? Good.

648
00:55:48,284 --> 00:55:50,963
I mean, it's unbelievable.

649
00:55:50,965 --> 00:55:54,683
I understand that in the absence of
a will,

650
00:55:54,685 --> 00:55:57,882
you would be named sole beneficiary
of your aunt's estate.

651
00:55:57,884 --> 00:56:00,443
I don't think so.

652
00:56:00,445 --> 00:56:04,485
My understanding is that she's left
everything to St Faith's Orphanage.

653
00:56:06,325 --> 00:56:09,725
Alfred Pollock was one of your
charges at St Faith's, I believe.

654
00:56:11,765 --> 00:56:13,282
Did he ever get in any trouble?

655
00:56:13,284 --> 00:56:18,085
Oh, you know, the usual rough and
tumble. Hm...

656
00:56:18,564 --> 00:56:23,602
It was a bit more than the usual
rough and tumble that landed him in
Barlinnie, though.

657
00:56:23,604 --> 00:56:26,442
Resisting arrest. Theft.

658
00:56:26,444 --> 00:56:30,525
He was a good lad when he left me,
but he fell in with a bad crowd.

659
00:56:31,365 --> 00:56:32,844
Scottish.

660
00:56:35,604 --> 00:56:39,564
But you stayed in touch with him?
Became friends, even?

661
00:56:40,644 --> 00:56:43,764
And you say you saw him
this afternoon?

662
00:56:45,045 --> 00:56:47,964
Yes, I often come for a stroll
around the Folly.

663
00:56:48,564 --> 00:56:50,925
I saw him gardening from across the
field.

664
00:56:52,245 --> 00:56:53,282
At what time?

665
00:56:53,284 --> 00:56:55,002
Oh, erm...

666
00:56:55,004 --> 00:56:57,444
About four o'clock, I should say.

667
00:57:06,525 --> 00:57:09,083
I'd like to thank you all for your
co-operation.

668
00:57:09,085 --> 00:57:11,323
We don't expect this will take
very long.

669
00:57:11,325 --> 00:57:14,645
I would like you to remain in the
house until I return. Is that clear?

670
00:57:15,765 --> 00:57:17,642
We have an officer stationed outside.

671
00:57:17,644 --> 00:57:19,725
Do not attempt to leave without
permission.

672
00:57:23,685 --> 00:57:25,683
Let's head back via Boreham Theatre,

673
00:57:25,685 --> 00:57:28,044
make sure Mr Fletcher was on stage
when he says he was.

674
00:57:29,404 --> 00:57:31,404
Stay put, Jenkins.

675
00:58:00,494 --> 00:58:03,074
I'm rather envious of you,
old sport.

676
00:58:03,104 --> 00:58:05,782
Envious of Archie? Why?

677
00:58:05,784 --> 00:58:09,782
Well... because he has a mother who
would stand between him and any
danger.

678
00:58:09,784 --> 00:58:13,824
Someone to smooth his way in life.

679
00:58:15,104 --> 00:58:17,824
Didn't you have anything to smooth
your way in life?

680
00:58:19,464 --> 00:58:21,984
My mother... died in childbirth.

681
00:58:23,184 --> 00:58:24,784
I killed her.

682
00:58:26,384 --> 00:58:28,502
I've had to live with that.

683
00:58:28,504 --> 00:58:29,824
I'm so sorry.

684
00:58:31,344 --> 00:58:33,664
But I'm sure she's proud of all
you've achieved.

685
00:58:34,904 --> 00:58:36,904
One does hope so.

686
00:58:50,144 --> 00:58:53,464
You told Mummy that an old lady took
you away this afternoon?

687
00:58:54,544 --> 00:58:58,382
The police thought I meant the
ghost, but it wasn't him.

688
00:58:58,384 --> 00:59:00,384
It was a live woman.

689
00:59:01,864 --> 00:59:04,022
She was in the science place.

690
00:59:04,024 --> 00:59:08,302
Oh, you found the lab?
Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.

691
00:59:08,304 --> 00:59:12,022
What did she look like?
Well... Old.

692
00:59:12,024 --> 00:59:13,982
Like me?
Yes, Miss.

693
00:59:13,984 --> 00:59:17,742
But she was scary.
She kept on saying,

694
00:59:17,744 --> 00:59:21,062
'Greenshaw won't get away with it
this time.'

695
00:59:21,064 --> 00:59:24,864
Did you mention this to the Inspector
when he spoke to you?

696
00:59:25,784 --> 00:59:28,224
And she kept calling me Edwin.

697
00:59:29,304 --> 00:59:31,782
Everyone here's a bit weird,
aren't they?

698
00:59:31,784 --> 00:59:33,784
Let's have some music.

699
00:59:41,224 --> 00:59:42,982
This was my auntie's favourite song.

700
00:59:42,984 --> 00:59:45,862
Really?
I thought she liked Schubert.

701
00:59:45,864 --> 00:59:49,584
Oh... There are so many things
I don't know about her, Miss Marple.

702
00:59:51,304 --> 00:59:54,184
Aunt Katherine and I were just
starting to get acquainted.

703
00:59:55,664 --> 00:59:59,422
My mother, Nettie, married beneath
herself, you see,

704
00:59:59,424 --> 01:00:02,382
and the Greenshaws, well,
they weren't too impressed.

705
01:00:02,384 --> 01:00:04,382
They kicked her out.

706
01:00:04,384 --> 01:00:07,744
I'm a bit like the black sheep
returning to the fold.

707
01:00:08,464 --> 01:00:11,902
It's a very luxurious fold,
Mr Fletcher.

708
01:00:11,904 --> 01:00:14,264
I daresay you won't go short of
straw.

709
01:00:15,024 --> 01:00:16,904
To me, art is more important than
money.

710
01:00:25,984 --> 01:00:28,022
I'm glad you stayed.

711
01:00:28,024 --> 01:00:30,024
You must be the only one who is.

712
01:00:32,304 --> 01:00:34,504
No. There's someone else.

713
01:00:35,344 --> 01:00:37,344
Who?

714
01:00:38,504 --> 01:00:40,504
Archie.

715
01:00:46,664 --> 01:00:48,782
Is it him?
I don't know.

716
01:00:48,784 --> 01:00:50,064
Stay here.

717
01:01:02,584 --> 01:01:05,422
We shouldn't have let him go.
He's dangerous.

718
01:01:05,424 --> 01:01:07,024
What the hell is he doing?

719
01:01:08,864 --> 01:01:10,944
Get off me, you brute!

720
01:01:11,584 --> 01:01:13,142
Jane!

721
01:01:13,144 --> 01:01:15,942
It's all right, you can let her go.
She's a friend of mine.

722
01:01:15,944 --> 01:01:19,982
- What was she doing in the lab?
- Cicely.

723
01:01:19,984 --> 01:01:22,144
Come with me into the kitchen.

724
01:01:27,904 --> 01:01:31,304
So what were you doing in
Greenshaw's laboratory?

725
01:01:32,104 --> 01:01:35,944
Jane, the things I've been doing!

726
01:01:37,104 --> 01:01:38,704
Living in the past!

727
01:01:40,064 --> 01:01:43,464
I'm haunted by the thought... that
I killed him.

728
01:01:45,304 --> 01:01:47,264
That I killed my own brother!

729
01:01:50,064 --> 01:01:53,184
So you were both at St Faith's?
Yes.

730
01:01:55,784 --> 01:01:58,422
And when they cam to take Edwin away,

731
01:01:58,424 --> 01:02:01,542
there was nothing I could do
but stand and watch!

732
01:02:01,544 --> 01:02:04,944
And then today, in the lab,
when I saw the little boy, Archie,

733
01:02:07,144 --> 01:02:10,864
something in my mind seemed to say,
'Rescue him!'

734
01:02:12,904 --> 01:02:17,304
I thought the Professor's experiments
were starting up again!

735
01:02:18,384 --> 01:02:22,462
Cicely, listen to me.
You and Edwin were children.

736
01:02:22,464 --> 01:02:25,542
You could not have stood up against
Decimus Greenshaw.

737
01:02:25,544 --> 01:02:28,704
He was a monster.
Yes. He was.

738
01:02:32,464 --> 01:02:34,382
This is his journal?

739
01:02:34,384 --> 01:02:36,262
Yes.

740
01:02:36,264 --> 01:02:39,782
I needed to see it.

741
01:02:39,784 --> 01:02:44,022
Jane... Am I going mad?

742
01:02:44,024 --> 01:02:45,982
No, of course not.

743
01:02:45,984 --> 01:02:47,302
Is everything all right?

744
01:02:47,304 --> 01:02:50,382
Yes, absolutely fine.
Thank you, Mrs Cresswell.

745
01:02:50,384 --> 01:02:54,224
Good. Well, I said I'd make tea
for everybody.

746
01:02:55,184 --> 01:02:59,102
What's that book? I was
just looking at it.

747
01:02:59,104 --> 01:03:01,424
We were putting it back.

748
01:03:08,344 --> 01:03:10,344
Jane?

749
01:03:11,144 --> 01:03:13,144
Are you all right?
Just...

750
01:03:32,744 --> 01:03:35,264
Dear God! Mr Bindler!

751
01:03:36,144 --> 01:03:38,384
What's that he's holding in his
hand?

752
01:03:42,744 --> 01:03:44,822
Oh, no!
It's only a power cut. Stay calm.

753
01:03:44,824 --> 01:03:47,744
- I'll fetch some torches.
- Help!

754
01:03:51,784 --> 01:03:54,382
Isn't there supposed to be
a policeman here?

755
01:03:54,384 --> 01:03:55,904
Let's try the telephone.

756
01:04:00,944 --> 01:04:03,984
There's no line!
Oh! We're trapped!

757
01:04:11,304 --> 01:04:12,704
Philip! Don't hurt him!

758
01:04:18,624 --> 01:04:20,184
Oh, Archie!

759
01:04:24,939 --> 01:04:26,937
Let me out!

760
01:04:26,939 --> 01:04:28,977
Let me out.

761
01:04:28,979 --> 01:04:32,099
I've done nothing wrong! I just want
to see my son! Let me out!

762
01:04:40,899 --> 01:04:43,619
He can't get out, can he?
No. He's going nowhere.

763
01:04:44,539 --> 01:04:46,577
Archie? Don't be scared.

764
01:04:46,579 --> 01:04:49,857
I promise you, as long as I'm around,
nobody is going to hurt you.

765
01:04:49,859 --> 01:04:52,099
Nobody! All right?

766
01:04:52,579 --> 01:04:55,217
A little early for that, I would
have thought, Father.

767
01:04:55,219 --> 01:04:57,297
Early?

768
01:04:57,299 --> 01:04:59,697
I've been up all night.

769
01:04:59,699 --> 01:05:03,097
I'm sure Inspector Welch will return
soon, Father.

770
01:05:03,099 --> 01:05:06,939
And once the facts are established,
we can all go home, can't we?

771
01:05:11,779 --> 01:05:14,699
Where's Jenkins?
I left him on guard.

772
01:05:27,699 --> 01:05:29,699
What's that in his hand?

773
01:05:31,419 --> 01:05:33,697
A button?

774
01:05:33,699 --> 01:05:35,777
It looks like it's off Pollock's
jacket,

775
01:05:35,779 --> 01:05:37,779
the one we found in his rucksack.

776
01:05:39,099 --> 01:05:41,099
Get it checked.

777
01:05:46,019 --> 01:05:47,737
Careful now, Father.

778
01:05:47,739 --> 01:05:50,139
We don't want you to end up like
Mr Cracken.

779
01:05:51,619 --> 01:05:54,377
Walter Cracken didn't touch a drop
for ten years or more.

780
01:05:54,379 --> 01:05:57,177
Not since his wife passed.

781
01:05:57,179 --> 01:05:59,057
House fire.

782
01:05:59,059 --> 01:06:02,379
Folks thought he caused it.
Because he was drunk.

783
01:06:04,259 --> 01:06:07,059
It's amazing the things people tell
you when you're a priest.

784
01:06:10,339 --> 01:06:11,977
Right.

785
01:06:11,979 --> 01:06:15,457
I asked you all to stay put and keep
calm for a few hours,

786
01:06:15,459 --> 01:06:17,497
and what do I find on my return?

787
01:06:17,499 --> 01:06:20,417
A constable is missing,
the telephone line cut...

788
01:06:20,419 --> 01:06:23,417
and a decomposing corpse
outside the kitchen.

789
01:06:23,419 --> 01:06:26,817
Greenshaw's Folly. What a place.

790
01:06:26,819 --> 01:06:29,097
Let me out of here! Let me out!

791
01:06:29,099 --> 01:06:31,777
Let me out!

792
01:06:31,779 --> 01:06:33,857
What's that?

793
01:06:33,859 --> 01:06:36,497
That's the bloke I locked
in the cupboard. Archie's dad.

794
01:06:36,499 --> 01:06:38,179
Hello?

795
01:06:39,059 --> 01:06:41,939
Jenkins? You, over there.

796
01:06:49,979 --> 01:06:51,817
Over here!

797
01:06:51,819 --> 01:06:53,937
You seriously assaulted a police
officer,

798
01:06:53,939 --> 01:06:55,777
fought with the gardener,

799
01:06:55,779 --> 01:06:58,257
kidnapped your son whilst
brandishing a knife.

800
01:06:58,259 --> 01:06:59,857
You'd do it to get your boy back.

801
01:06:59,859 --> 01:07:02,697
Did you also remove the lady who
stood in the way of your plans?

802
01:07:02,699 --> 01:07:05,777
What? Katherine Greenshaw,
the owner of this house.

803
01:07:05,779 --> 01:07:08,137
Did you kill her?
No! Why do you say that?

804
01:07:08,139 --> 01:07:10,777
We know you're a violent man,
Dr Oxley.

805
01:07:10,779 --> 01:07:14,497
That's why they locked you up.
What about that thug who coshed me?

806
01:07:14,499 --> 01:07:16,739
You should be handcuffing HIM!

807
01:07:22,299 --> 01:07:26,137
Oh, aren't we lucky to have been
let out for a breath of air, Archie?

808
01:07:26,139 --> 01:07:29,137
The police inspector thought my idea
was very sensible.

809
01:07:29,139 --> 01:07:31,137
Yes, he did, didn't he?

810
01:07:31,139 --> 01:07:32,977
How did you find out about this
place?

811
01:07:32,979 --> 01:07:35,699
Miss Greenshaw showed me.
She showed me her plants.

812
01:07:37,859 --> 01:07:39,899
Deadly nightshade.

813
01:07:41,859 --> 01:07:43,859
Don't eat the berries!

814
01:07:46,139 --> 01:07:49,057
Atropa belladonna.

815
01:07:49,059 --> 01:07:51,179
It's for her eyes.

816
01:07:55,579 --> 01:08:00,139
Oh! How could I have been
so absurdly slow?

817
01:08:00,979 --> 01:08:03,817
Not a heap of haddock, Archie.

818
01:08:03,819 --> 01:08:05,819
A pile of carp!

819
01:08:10,619 --> 01:08:12,259
Oh...

820
01:08:23,699 --> 01:08:26,777
So who would want to kill
Horace Lethbridge?

821
01:08:26,779 --> 01:08:30,017
He told us his name was Bindler.

822
01:08:30,019 --> 01:08:34,017
Probably not enough reason to push
him down a lift shaft, Mrs Cresswell,

823
01:08:34,019 --> 01:08:36,059
but interesting nonetheless.

824
01:08:37,139 --> 01:08:39,657
So why would anyone kill Horace
Bindler?

825
01:08:39,659 --> 01:08:42,137
Well, I think I can tell you that.

826
01:08:42,139 --> 01:08:45,137
I've put Archie to bed.
He's exhausted.

827
01:08:45,139 --> 01:08:47,137
Thank you.

828
01:08:47,139 --> 01:08:51,139
I'm afraid this will make painful
listening for Miss Beauclerk.

829
01:08:54,299 --> 01:08:59,017
Well, Horace Lethbridge - Horace
Bindler -

830
01:08:59,019 --> 01:09:03,617
was actually a reporter
working for the Clarion newspaper.

831
01:09:03,619 --> 01:09:07,057
So he wasn't an expert on historic
buildings?

832
01:09:07,059 --> 01:09:08,977
Certainly not.

833
01:09:08,979 --> 01:09:10,777
Remarkable, aren't they?

834
01:09:10,779 --> 01:09:13,337
Anyone with the slightest interest
in architecture

835
01:09:13,339 --> 01:09:17,617
would have known that Greenshaw's
Folly doesn't have any crockets on
its East Tower.

836
01:09:17,619 --> 01:09:19,577
Not one!

837
01:09:19,579 --> 01:09:23,859
So, after he vanished,
I visited his room.

838
01:09:25,139 --> 01:09:29,137
I discovered that he had been
working here undercover,

839
01:09:29,139 --> 01:09:33,457
pursuing a scoop, which would expose
the late Professor Greenshaw

840
01:09:33,459 --> 01:09:35,539
and his barbaric polio trials.

841
01:09:37,499 --> 01:09:41,417
Trials which involved injecting
orphaned children

842
01:09:41,419 --> 01:09:42,899
with the polio virus...

843
01:09:43,499 --> 01:09:45,579
in order to develop a vaccine.

844
01:09:47,779 --> 01:09:50,137
Many were left paralysed.

845
01:09:50,139 --> 01:09:52,579
Even more left dead.

846
01:09:54,859 --> 01:09:59,819
Now, this was sent to Miss Greenshaw
yesterday.

847
01:10:00,659 --> 01:10:01,857
Anonymously.

848
01:10:01,859 --> 01:10:03,617
'Remember the children.'

849
01:10:03,619 --> 01:10:06,139
My brother. And some of our friends.

850
01:10:07,499 --> 01:10:09,417
I wanted Miss Greenshaw to see it.

851
01:10:09,419 --> 01:10:12,339
And did you cross out the faces
as well, Miss Beauclerk?

852
01:10:13,019 --> 01:10:16,859
Those are some of the children who
disappeared here at Greenshaw's
Folly,

853
01:10:17,339 --> 01:10:19,097
with no family to miss them.

854
01:10:19,099 --> 01:10:20,617
This can prove it!

855
01:10:20,619 --> 01:10:23,857
'Greenshaw won't get away with it
this time.'

856
01:10:23,859 --> 01:10:26,137
Your words, I believe,
Miss Beauclerk?

857
01:10:26,139 --> 01:10:28,057
Are they?

858
01:10:28,059 --> 01:10:31,697
Well, I-I was very upset.

859
01:10:31,699 --> 01:10:34,697
Upset enough to kill? No!

860
01:10:34,699 --> 01:10:36,857
I wanted the killing to stop!

861
01:10:36,859 --> 01:10:40,977
Inspector,
Cicely is over 70 years old.

862
01:10:40,979 --> 01:10:45,219
I can't really see her pushing an
arrow through someone jugular vein.

863
01:10:48,499 --> 01:10:52,337
Searching through the records
at St Faith's Orphanage,

864
01:10:52,339 --> 01:10:58,417
I discovered that the period from
1900 to 1910,

865
01:10:58,419 --> 01:11:02,257
as mentioned in Horace Bindler's
notebook, had disappeared,

866
01:11:02,259 --> 01:11:04,417
no doubt destroyed.

867
01:11:04,419 --> 01:11:05,857
On whose orders?

868
01:11:05,859 --> 01:11:08,497
Professor Greenshaw, I expect.

869
01:11:08,499 --> 01:11:11,977
So it's possible that someone might
have killed Horace Bindler

870
01:11:11,979 --> 01:11:15,777
to keep the secret safe?
Yes, it is possible, Inspector.

871
01:11:15,779 --> 01:11:18,617
Miss Greenshaw herself, perhaps?

872
01:11:18,619 --> 01:11:21,099
I wouldn't think that at all.

873
01:11:22,219 --> 01:11:26,497
Katherine was as troubled by her
father's past as anyone.

874
01:11:26,499 --> 01:11:30,777
No, I suspect that Horace Bindler

875
01:11:30,779 --> 01:11:33,937
may have stumbled upon something
quite unexpected,

876
01:11:33,939 --> 01:11:36,137
something quite new.

877
01:11:36,139 --> 01:11:40,499
A piece of information that someone
WOULD be prepared to kill for.

878
01:11:42,619 --> 01:11:45,857
Sir? There's a Mr Fordyce here,
Miss Greenshaw's solicitor.

879
01:11:45,859 --> 01:11:47,619
He's asking to speak to Mr Fletcher.

880
01:11:57,499 --> 01:12:00,937
Did you give any further thought to
my request, Inspector,

881
01:12:00,939 --> 01:12:04,497
regarding Mr Cracken's postmortem?

882
01:12:04,499 --> 01:12:07,857
Look, I'm really quite busy
right now. Yes, I appreciate that,

883
01:12:07,859 --> 01:12:09,937
but if you could indulge me
for a moment.

884
01:12:09,939 --> 01:12:14,977
You see, Mr Cracken had not touched
alcohol for ten years.

885
01:12:14,979 --> 01:12:18,577
Says who?
His priest, Father Brophy.

886
01:12:18,579 --> 01:12:22,497
I know the butler's behaviour may
have seemed odd and irrational.

887
01:12:22,499 --> 01:12:23,977
I'd agree with you there.

888
01:12:23,979 --> 01:12:29,539
But I believe it was the behaviour of
a person under the influence of
a drug, not alcohol.

889
01:12:31,299 --> 01:12:33,297
Go on.
Atropine.

890
01:12:33,299 --> 01:12:37,337
It's a chemical derivative of deadly
nightshade.

891
01:12:37,339 --> 01:12:41,657
It was grown by Miss Greenshaw in
order to produce her own eye drops.

892
01:12:41,659 --> 01:12:47,417
But if ingested, it can promote the
symptoms of drunkenness -

893
01:12:47,419 --> 01:12:50,417
dilated pupils, a flushed appearance.

894
01:12:50,419 --> 01:12:56,137
And with two deaths since, I might
suggest a postmortem be conducted

895
01:12:56,139 --> 01:13:00,617
on Miss Greenshaw too. Now,
wait just a minute, Miss Marple.

896
01:13:00,619 --> 01:13:05,417
I'll admit that the information
you've just given me seems
plausible,

897
01:13:05,419 --> 01:13:07,777
but the Medical Officer has
confirmed

898
01:13:07,779 --> 01:13:11,857
that Miss Greenshaw's jugular vein
was severed by an arrow through her
neck.

899
01:13:11,859 --> 01:13:14,577
Yes. But when?

900
01:13:14,579 --> 01:13:16,579
This way out, Mr Fordyce.

901
01:13:19,699 --> 01:13:24,379
Tell the Coroner's Office I'm
authorising a postmortem on Walter
Cracken.

902
01:13:29,499 --> 01:13:32,619
Blimey, do you know what that
solicitor chap just said?

903
01:13:33,939 --> 01:13:35,857
That this is all mine!

904
01:13:35,859 --> 01:13:37,617
Do you think it's a joke?

905
01:13:37,619 --> 01:13:40,977
I mean, whyever wouldn't Aunt
Katherine have left a will?

906
01:13:40,979 --> 01:13:43,777
I don't understand.
Father?

907
01:13:43,779 --> 01:13:46,659
She promised that the orphanage
would be taken care of.

908
01:13:47,699 --> 01:13:50,819
She promised to remember...
Yes, well, it seems like she didn't.

909
01:13:51,419 --> 01:13:54,297
Sorry, sir. There was another old
lady here. Not another one!

910
01:13:54,299 --> 01:13:56,937
A Minnie Tulliver. Has information
from Somerset House.

911
01:13:56,939 --> 01:14:00,659
Oh! Er, that will be for me,
Sergeant. Thank you.

912
01:14:03,339 --> 01:14:04,337
Right...

913
01:14:04,339 --> 01:14:08,299
The button found in Bindler's hand
matches those on Pollock's jacket.

914
01:14:10,419 --> 01:14:13,697
What? The fingerprint tests have
come back too.

915
01:14:13,699 --> 01:14:14,857
I didn't kill anyone!

916
01:14:14,859 --> 01:14:16,857
Alfred Pollock, I am arresting you
for the -

917
01:14:16,859 --> 01:14:21,057
He is not your murderer, Inspector.
Miss Marple, I am in the middle of -

918
01:14:21,059 --> 01:14:24,697
Before you go any further, I must
tell you that I am in possession of
evidence

919
01:14:24,699 --> 01:14:26,977
which will prove Alfred's innocence

920
01:14:26,979 --> 01:14:29,419
and change the entire complexion of
this case.

921
01:14:39,127 --> 01:14:42,667
Now, I promised that I had new
evidence for you, Inspector.

922
01:14:42,729 --> 01:14:44,607
All right, let's hear it.

923
01:14:44,609 --> 01:14:47,447
I will come to that later.

924
01:14:47,449 --> 01:14:49,249
We need to begin at the beginning.

925
01:14:50,129 --> 01:14:54,127
Both Walter Cracken and Katherine
Greenshaw were poisoned

926
01:14:54,129 --> 01:14:55,567
before they were killed.

927
01:14:55,569 --> 01:14:58,209
Just a minute. Poisoned?

928
01:14:59,089 --> 01:15:01,367
My aunt was found with an arrow
through her neck!

929
01:15:01,369 --> 01:15:07,007
Have none of you considered that
Katherine's murder somehow seems
a little too perfect?

930
01:15:07,009 --> 01:15:09,807
We have a clear-cut suspect,
to my mind.

931
01:15:09,809 --> 01:15:12,847
Yes, exactly. TOO clear-cut.

932
01:15:12,849 --> 01:15:17,847
The only crime of which Alfred
Pollock is guilty is misplaced
loyalty.

933
01:15:17,849 --> 01:15:21,327
Mrs Cresswell saw him stealing.

934
01:15:21,329 --> 01:15:22,967
Did she?

935
01:15:22,969 --> 01:15:27,409
You see, I believe it was Father
Brophy who stole the candlesticks.

936
01:15:33,569 --> 01:15:37,487
Whilst Alfred in fact reclaimed
them,

937
01:15:37,489 --> 01:15:40,089
eager to return them safely to the
Folly.

938
01:15:40,969 --> 01:15:43,207
Unfortunately, he was seen doing so

939
01:15:43,209 --> 01:15:46,247
and it was assumed
he was the thief.

940
01:15:46,249 --> 01:15:50,489
I don't imagine Alfred was ever
a very successful thief.

941
01:15:52,049 --> 01:15:54,009
Whereas you, Father...

942
01:15:56,369 --> 01:16:01,249
I erm, I thought the silverware would
raise a good sum for the orphanage.

943
01:16:02,209 --> 01:16:04,249
Or perhaps pay off your debts?

944
01:16:06,889 --> 01:16:10,567
Can you explain why Miss Marple saw
you leaving the Folly

945
01:16:10,569 --> 01:16:13,527
just half an hour after
Miss Greenshaw had been murdered?

946
01:16:13,529 --> 01:16:16,247
Yes, yes, I'd come back to confess
to the theft.

947
01:16:16,249 --> 01:16:20,009
I couldn't let Alfred take the blame
for me. He's a decent lad.

948
01:16:21,249 --> 01:16:23,687
I'm afraid I rather lost my nerve.

949
01:16:23,689 --> 01:16:27,527
But you said you saw Pollock at the
time of Miss Greenshaw's murder?

950
01:16:27,529 --> 01:16:29,529
Yes. Yes, I did say that.

951
01:16:30,489 --> 01:16:32,889
I wanted to repay Alfred, somehow.

952
01:16:35,049 --> 01:16:39,247
Look, we have a motive,
a packed rucksack,

953
01:16:39,249 --> 01:16:42,047
fingerprint evidence and no alibi.

954
01:16:42,049 --> 01:16:46,047
Short of a signed confession, it
couldn't really be more conclusive!

955
01:16:46,049 --> 01:16:50,089
Yes, so much so that it could almost
have been stage-managed.

956
01:16:51,489 --> 01:16:56,047
A ghastly melodrama, played out for
Louisa and Mrs Cresswell

957
01:16:56,049 --> 01:16:57,687
up in the dress circle.

958
01:16:57,689 --> 01:17:01,567
Yes, but it isn't a play,
Miss Marple. Miss Greenshaw is dead.

959
01:17:01,569 --> 01:17:05,569
And whoever killed her sedated her
first with atropine.

960
01:17:06,449 --> 01:17:08,169
The same as poor Mr Cracken.

961
01:17:09,329 --> 01:17:12,887
Atropine is a derivative of deadly
nightshade,

962
01:17:12,889 --> 01:17:15,689
often found in eye drops.

963
01:17:17,129 --> 01:17:19,969
Katherine was drugged using her own
medicine.

964
01:17:25,049 --> 01:17:28,407
Miss Greenshaw called YOU
just after four o'clock?

965
01:17:28,409 --> 01:17:32,927
Asking for pilocarpine -
not a pile of carp.

966
01:17:32,929 --> 01:17:37,047
Pilocarpine,
the antidote to atropine poisoning.

967
01:17:37,049 --> 01:17:38,847
She knew she'd been drugged.

968
01:17:38,849 --> 01:17:43,567
But at four o'clock we saw her
weeding, just before...

969
01:17:43,569 --> 01:17:44,847
the arrow...

970
01:17:44,849 --> 01:17:46,287
Leucothoe?

971
01:17:46,289 --> 01:17:49,047
Thimble campanula?

972
01:17:49,049 --> 01:17:54,169
The real Miss Greenshaw would never
have mistaken those lovely plants
for weeds.

973
01:17:57,569 --> 01:18:01,289
It was Archie's ghost which really
made me start to think.

974
01:18:02,529 --> 01:18:04,927
Ghosts don't exist. People do.

975
01:18:04,929 --> 01:18:08,927
Yes, I am aware of that fact,
thank you, Miss Marple.

976
01:18:08,929 --> 01:18:13,207
And people's appearances are
surprisingly easy to alter.

977
01:18:13,209 --> 01:18:16,327
In Mr Fletcher's business for
example,

978
01:18:16,329 --> 01:18:20,647
costume and make-up can produce
astounding transformations.

979
01:18:20,649 --> 01:18:22,689
Isn't that so, Mrs Cresswell?

980
01:18:25,609 --> 01:18:27,487
In a certain outfit, for example,

981
01:18:27,489 --> 01:18:30,767
a housekeeper might be mistaken for
a ghost.

982
01:18:30,769 --> 01:18:33,487
Whilst a different hairpiece and
dress

983
01:18:33,489 --> 01:18:36,489
could give her the look of, say,
an eccentric lady gardener.

984
01:18:40,609 --> 01:18:43,769
This proves nothing.
Nothing at all.

985
01:18:44,969 --> 01:18:48,967
Let me remind you that Mrs Oxley and
I were each locked in our bedrooms

986
01:18:48,969 --> 01:18:50,567
at the time of the murder.

987
01:18:50,569 --> 01:18:52,647
Apparently so.

988
01:18:52,649 --> 01:18:55,287
Enter police constable, stage right.

989
01:18:55,289 --> 01:18:57,767
Police constable?

990
01:18:57,769 --> 01:19:00,207
Sergeant Cayley and I were the first
on the scene.

991
01:19:00,209 --> 01:19:03,207
Having received Mrs Cresswell's call
at a quarter past four.

992
01:19:03,209 --> 01:19:07,407
A whole quarter of an hour
after the murder. How interesting.

993
01:19:07,409 --> 01:19:11,487
No, Inspector, this officer had
nothing to do with the Downshire
Constabulary.

994
01:19:11,489 --> 01:19:13,009
Another actor?

995
01:19:14,129 --> 01:19:18,129
In costume?
Borrowed from Boreham Theatre.

996
01:19:20,209 --> 01:19:23,847
At four o'clock I was halfway
through a matinee. Yes, your play.

997
01:19:23,849 --> 01:19:26,769
Such a pity you only appeared in the
first act.

998
01:19:28,289 --> 01:19:29,849
Make your point, Miss Marple.

999
01:19:30,889 --> 01:19:34,407
You leave the stage at 3:30,

1000
01:19:34,409 --> 01:19:38,567
quickly changing into a policeman's
uniform from the costume rail,

1001
01:19:38,569 --> 01:19:42,049
and speeding back here to play
the conscientious constable.

1002
01:19:43,409 --> 01:19:47,487
But you also stab the sedated
Miss Greenshaw

1003
01:19:47,489 --> 01:19:51,647
before locking your accomplice,
Mrs Cresswell, in her room,

1004
01:19:51,649 --> 01:19:55,729
as she had earlier locked up
both Archie and Louisa.

1005
01:19:56,849 --> 01:20:00,287
I'm sorry to disappoint you, but
I'd never miss a curtain call.

1006
01:20:00,289 --> 01:20:04,809
And you didn't. You speeded back
there to take your well-deserved bow.

1007
01:20:07,489 --> 01:20:10,487
It's only 15 minutes in a fast car.

1008
01:20:10,489 --> 01:20:15,527
Your theatre manager was happy to
confirm - 'Couldn't drag him off
stage, ' I think his words were.

1009
01:20:15,529 --> 01:20:17,287
This is insane!

1010
01:20:17,289 --> 01:20:21,287
Why would I be in cahoots with Mrs
Cresswell? We barely know each
other.

1011
01:20:21,289 --> 01:20:24,329
Not according to these records from
Somerset House.

1012
01:20:26,049 --> 01:20:27,529
Finally.

1013
01:20:28,769 --> 01:20:31,607
Miss Greenshaw's sister, Nettie,

1014
01:20:31,609 --> 01:20:34,247
married the Folly's stable man,
Harry Fletcher,

1015
01:20:34,249 --> 01:20:38,407
and they had a child together.
That much is true.

1016
01:20:38,409 --> 01:20:40,607
But because she'd married a servant,

1017
01:20:40,609 --> 01:20:43,129
her father Decimus cut them off
completely.

1018
01:20:43,849 --> 01:20:49,127
So the Greenshaws would never have
known that Nettie died in childbirth,

1019
01:20:49,129 --> 01:20:52,927
nor that the child also died
just a year later.

1020
01:20:52,929 --> 01:20:56,649
Neither would they have known that
Harry Fletcher married again -

1021
01:20:57,689 --> 01:20:59,927
a Miss Mary Cresswell.

1022
01:20:59,929 --> 01:21:03,847
And shortly afterwards
they too had a son -

1023
01:21:03,849 --> 01:21:06,207
Nathaniel Fletcher.

1024
01:21:06,209 --> 01:21:09,609
It's not true! I have a copy of
the birth certificate.

1025
01:21:15,689 --> 01:21:19,049
So, Fletcher isn't even a Greenshaw?

1026
01:21:20,569 --> 01:21:22,327
He's Mrs Cresswell's son.

1027
01:21:22,329 --> 01:21:26,847
And the love his mother has for him
knows no bounds.

1028
01:21:26,849 --> 01:21:30,847
Mr Cracken's discovery that you were
mother and son

1029
01:21:30,849 --> 01:21:35,127
obviously jeopardised the plan for
Nat to inherit the Greenshaw fortune.

1030
01:21:35,129 --> 01:21:38,047
You had no choice but to get rid of
him.

1031
01:21:38,049 --> 01:21:39,809
Come here, you little blighter!

1032
01:21:49,769 --> 01:21:55,807
And that left Horace Bindler, whose
prying unearthed an horrific fact -

1033
01:21:55,809 --> 01:21:59,047
that Katherine Greenshaw had
an illegitimate son,

1034
01:21:59,049 --> 01:22:03,529
a rightful heir, one who could
easily usurp Nat Fletcher's claim.

1035
01:22:04,249 --> 01:22:07,527
It was obvious in the way Katherine
looked at you

1036
01:22:07,529 --> 01:22:11,609
that she refused to lose faith, even
when she thought you'd stolen from
her.

1037
01:22:13,329 --> 01:22:17,087
Suspecting that someone had been
interfering with her property,

1038
01:22:17,089 --> 01:22:20,207
Katherine checked Alfred's precious
birth certificate

1039
01:22:20,209 --> 01:22:23,407
to find that it had indeed been
torn by someone.

1040
01:22:23,409 --> 01:22:25,407
She removed it from the laboratory,

1041
01:22:25,409 --> 01:22:29,289
hiding it instead in Shakespeare's
Sonnets,

1042
01:22:30,809 --> 01:22:34,807
bookmarking Sonnet number Three.

1043
01:22:34,809 --> 01:22:38,847
'Thou art thy mother's glass
and she in thee.

1044
01:22:38,849 --> 01:22:41,169
Calls back the lovely April
of her prime.'

1045
01:22:57,769 --> 01:23:01,847
You both searched high and low for
that birth certificate, didn't you?

1046
01:23:01,849 --> 01:23:04,407
After you'd dealt with Mr Bindler?

1047
01:23:04,409 --> 01:23:06,327
But it wasn't where he said it was,
was it?

1048
01:23:06,329 --> 01:23:10,647
And without destroying it, you could
never ensure that your son

1049
01:23:10,649 --> 01:23:13,167
would inherit the Greenshaw fortune.

1050
01:23:13,169 --> 01:23:15,127
I knew I couldn't trust him.

1051
01:23:15,129 --> 01:23:19,527
Ten thousand in cash, old fruit.
You can't be serious?

1052
01:23:19,529 --> 01:23:22,127
For the photograph
as well as the original?

1053
01:23:22,129 --> 01:23:24,049
A bargain, I'd say.

1054
01:23:25,609 --> 01:23:27,649
I can think of a cheaper
alternative.

1055
01:23:38,849 --> 01:23:42,409
A murder committed with brute
strength by the son...

1056
01:23:43,889 --> 01:23:46,729
and expertly managed by the mother.

1057
01:23:54,329 --> 01:23:57,207
The old witch hid it in a book.
That's ridiculous!

1058
01:23:57,209 --> 01:23:59,327
A ridiculous woman!

1059
01:23:59,329 --> 01:24:02,847
As for abandoning her own son...
You can only call that heartless.

1060
01:24:02,849 --> 01:24:04,807
On the contrary.

1061
01:24:04,809 --> 01:24:09,647
Katherine had always lived in fear
of her father and his hideous
experiments.

1062
01:24:09,649 --> 01:24:12,529
So when she had Alfred out of
wedlock,

1063
01:24:13,649 --> 01:24:17,527
her only thought was to hide him
away as quickly as possible.

1064
01:24:17,529 --> 01:24:21,967
So she entrusted her son to St
Faith's Orphanage,

1065
01:24:21,969 --> 01:24:25,449
where Katherine could keep
the closest eye on him.

1066
01:24:26,769 --> 01:24:30,969
No-one knew then that Decimus used
the children from St Faith's.

1067
01:24:32,249 --> 01:24:34,609
It was his favourite hunting ground.

1068
01:24:35,609 --> 01:24:37,649
Nat didn't kill Miss Greenshaw.

1069
01:24:38,689 --> 01:24:40,169
I did.

1070
01:24:41,409 --> 01:24:44,449
She would have died anyway,
the amount of atropine I gave her.

1071
01:25:00,969 --> 01:25:02,809
Please, Mother.

1072
01:25:05,209 --> 01:25:09,289
When I found Miss Greenshaw,
she was very much alive.

1073
01:25:10,329 --> 01:25:12,409
Pile-o-carp...

1074
01:25:15,689 --> 01:25:17,529
Hello? Hello?

1075
01:25:33,129 --> 01:25:35,927
So as long as Miss Greenshaw hadn't
made a will,

1076
01:25:35,929 --> 01:25:39,487
Fletcher could have masqueraded as
her blood nephew,

1077
01:25:39,489 --> 01:25:42,289
safe in the knowledge that he would
inherit everything. Yes.

1078
01:25:43,049 --> 01:25:47,169
They realised it could be a long time
before they saw any reward.

1079
01:25:48,169 --> 01:25:51,647
And seeing Katherine's own son hanged
for her murder

1080
01:25:51,649 --> 01:25:55,687
must have seemed like a very neat way
of killing two birds with one stone.

1081
01:25:55,689 --> 01:25:57,567
They framed him beautifully,
I admit,

1082
01:25:57,569 --> 01:26:01,807
even down to squeezing his button
into Mr Bindler's dead hand.

1083
01:26:01,809 --> 01:26:04,007
The perfect plan.

1084
01:26:04,009 --> 01:26:06,009
Almost, yes.

1085
01:26:29,649 --> 01:26:32,407
There! Another family!

1086
01:26:32,409 --> 01:26:34,407
What am I going to do with all this?

1087
01:26:34,409 --> 01:26:37,089
I've never had any money.

1088
01:26:38,369 --> 01:26:40,609
Father Brophy could use a helping
hand.

1089
01:26:41,609 --> 01:26:43,649
The orphanage roof for starters.

1090
01:26:45,489 --> 01:26:47,809
It's what your mother would have
wanted.

1091
01:26:56,369 --> 01:26:58,327
We'll be off first thing in the
morning.

1092
01:26:58,329 --> 01:27:00,009
You can't go.

1093
01:27:01,209 --> 01:27:03,767
This is your house,
there's no place for me here.

1094
01:27:03,769 --> 01:27:05,809
Stay. Please.

1095
01:27:07,169 --> 01:27:08,927
Why, Alfred?

1096
01:27:08,929 --> 01:27:13,087
Because...

1097
01:27:13,089 --> 01:27:16,609
I'll be needing my own secretary now
I've got this place to manage.

1098
01:27:19,929 --> 01:27:21,487
Won't I, Archie?

1099
01:27:21,489 --> 01:27:24,089
Mummy, can we stay?

9999
00:00:0,500 --> 00:00:2,00
