00:02:07 When I was a lad,
00:02:09 a journey on the rivers of England
00:02:14 ""Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive,""
00:02:18 as Wordsworth has it.
00:02:20 Brook lime and flag iris,
00:02:22 plantain and marsh marigolds
00:02:27 And kingfishers swooped and darted about,
00:02:31 their shadows racing over the brown trout.
00:02:34 Well, ladies and gentlemen,
00:02:37 l'm happy to be able to tell you
00:02:38 that these ravishing sights
00:02:40 will be restored to us again
00:02:43 thanks to the diligent efforts
00:02:45 and your local authority,
00:02:47 all the water above this point
00:02:52 Clear of industrial effluent.
00:02:54 Clear of detergents.
00:02:56 Clear of the waste products of our society,
00:03:00 with which for so long we have
00:03:06 Let us rejoice
00:03:08 that pollution will soon be banished
00:03:12 and that there will soon be no -
00:03:14 - Look!
00:03:19 It's a woman!
00:03:29 What's that 'round her neck?
00:03:33 She's been strangled!
00:03:35 - Looks like a tie.
00:03:39 Another necktie murder.
00:03:41 Come on. Move out of the way.
00:03:43 Please come away from here, Sir George.
00:03:49 - It's another necktie murder.
00:03:52 - Why can't they find him?
00:03:55 Not on your life. He used to carve 'em up.
00:03:57 Sent a bird's kidney to Scotland Yard,
00:04:01 That'll do. I'm sure the lady
00:04:03 Or was it a bit of her liver?
00:04:06 I say, it's not my club tie, is it?
00:04:43 Cheers, Squadron Leader.
00:04:46 - Chin, chin.
00:04:49 It may come as something
00:04:51 but in this pub we sell liquor,
00:04:54 Still less do we expect
00:04:57 I was going to pay for it.
00:04:58 Yeah, I'm sure you were. Get out.
00:05:02 I told you I was going to pay for it.
00:05:05 Even for your watered-down gin.
00:05:07 Don't come the innocent
00:05:10 My stocks have been
00:05:11 Watch what you're saying!
00:05:13 - What, you're a thief?
00:05:16 Our friend here says that
00:05:19 - Ridiculous! He always pays.
00:05:21 - I work with him, don't I?
00:05:24 -What's that mean?
00:05:27 - You're fired.
00:05:30 He puts the money in the till.
00:05:31 A thief or a boozer,
00:05:35 And he's usually pulling your tits
00:05:39 He can't keep his hands off you,
00:05:42 What about you? Always fingering me.
00:05:44 Keep your lying mouth shut,
00:05:47 I'm off. Keep the change!
00:05:56 I'll send for my things later.
00:05:58 Just a minute!
00:06:00 There's a little matter of ten pounds
00:06:03 Are you planning to steal that as well?
00:06:08 There you are.
00:06:10 You know what to do with them.
00:06:17 - Don't let him talk to you like that.
00:06:20 - What are you gonna do, luv?
00:06:24 - Another pub perhaps.
00:06:27 - You just gave him back that tenner.
00:06:30 He didn't think I had it.
00:06:34 This is Covent Garden,
00:06:36 How 'bout starting work?
00:06:38 Oh, get stuffed!
00:06:43 - Look after yourself.
00:06:55 Thanks, guv.
00:07:40 - Hello, Dick.
00:07:41 I was just coming over for a quick one.
00:07:43 Why aren't you back there polishing
00:07:45 or whatever it is you do there
00:07:49 I have just been given the push.
00:07:52 What for? You weren't pissing
00:07:56 - Forsythe and I had a set-to.
00:07:59 - You duffed him up I hope.
00:08:04 He was on my back right from the start.
00:08:06 From squadron leader to barman
00:08:10 He's the boss' brother-in-law,
00:08:12 I think so.
00:08:14 Brother-in-laws are the worst.
00:08:16 Or should I say, ""brothers-in-law""?
00:08:21 - What are you gonna do now?
00:08:24 Well, if you're in ""schtuk,""
00:08:28 Thanks.
00:08:29 George!
00:08:31 - That's the last one.
00:08:37 Why don't you go and see your ex?
00:08:41 I haven't seen her for ages, as you know.
00:08:43 - There's no use reopening all that.
00:08:46 Well, as I say,
00:08:51 - You're alright for a few quid?
00:08:53 - Cos if you're not...
00:08:57 Well... have some grapes.
00:08:59 Here you are. I'll get you a box.
00:09:06 Finest muscats, fresh in this morning.
00:09:09 Take one of these back
00:09:12 Get her to peel you one.
00:09:15 That's what my ol' mum used to say
00:09:18 At least you won't starve to death.
00:09:22 - Are you sure you don't need cash?
00:09:26 Well, you don't look OK.
00:09:31 - No. What should be?
00:09:35 Remember, anything I can do,
00:09:37 Ta.
00:09:39 It won't be the same in the Old Globe now.
00:09:41 - Well, Babs is still there.
00:09:43 - And she's prettier than you.
00:09:46 - Bye, now.
00:09:50 Here you are.
00:09:52 This afternoon in the 3:00, Coming Up.
00:09:55 Never been out before,
00:09:57 This is a four-horse race, and the
00:10:00 - So she'll start about twenty to one.
00:10:04 Put your wad on it. She can't lose.
00:10:05 A little birdie told me,
00:10:08 Thanks again, Bob.
00:10:09 - Don't forget, Bob's your uncle.
00:10:14 Hello, Sergeant. What's new?
00:10:16 Not much. But this necktie fellow's
00:10:19 Can't seem to get a line on him.
00:10:21 - Have you tried advertising?
00:10:26 Ask 'em all if they've ever had
00:10:29 - Or if any of their girlfriends have.
00:10:31 Mind you, half of them haven't got
00:10:34 let alone knowing when
00:10:37 Have you met my friend Dick B...
00:10:42 Funny fella.
00:10:44 - Don't worry. I'll ask around.
00:10:59 A large brandy.
00:11:02 - What're you gonna have, Doctor?
00:11:05 Let me order us a hot lunch.
00:11:08 - Hello, Mr Usher.
00:11:11 Stick to the shepherd's, I would.
00:11:13 Right. That's two shepherd's pies, please.
00:11:15 And two pints.
00:11:17 I see our necktie murderer's
00:11:21 I saw the newspaper headlines
00:11:25 I wouldn't envy any medical man
00:11:28 - Why not?
00:11:32 legally diminished responsibility.
00:11:35 In many cases you may be right.
00:11:37 But not here.
00:11:39 The man who's killing these women
00:11:44 And the legal profession has never
00:11:46 l suppose
00:11:50 We were just talking about
00:11:53 - You better watch out.
00:11:58 Yes, I believe he does.
00:12:00 I suppose it's nice to know
00:12:02 Oh!
00:12:05 On the surface, in casual conversation
00:12:08 they appear as ordinary, likable adult fellows.
00:12:13 But emotionally they remain
00:12:16 who may revert to primitive,
00:12:21 - Large brandy.
00:12:24 - just as the mood takes them?
00:12:27 And, being governed by the pleasure principle,
00:12:29 they're particularly dangerous when
00:12:34 - Are you deaf?
00:12:37 There's scarcely enough in that
00:12:38 Actually, make it a triple.
00:12:41 l wonder if the police have got
00:12:43 Oh, I shouldn't think so.
00:12:45 With psychopaths there's
00:12:48 Let's hope he slips up soon.
00:12:50 ln one way, l rather hope he doesn't.
00:12:53 Well, we haven't had a good, juicy
00:12:58 And they're so good for the tourist trade.
00:13:00 Foreigners expect the squares
00:13:04 full of hansom cabs and littered
00:13:12 Hey, Dick!
00:13:14 What about Coming Up then?
00:13:16 No, I'm afraid I haven't any time.
00:13:19 No, Coming Up, the horse.
00:13:21 Twenty to one! What did l tell you?
00:13:26 - Made a fortune. Thanks a lot.
00:13:30 Hey, wait a minute!
00:13:33 This is my ma. Ma, meet Dick Blaney,
00:13:37 the best pilot
00:13:39 - Hello, Mrs Rusk.
00:13:42 She lives down in Kent,
00:13:47 - Still got the grapes then?
00:13:50 You tell her to take the pips out.
00:13:53 - Ta-ta!
00:13:55 I told you, Bob's your uncle.
00:14:00 Twenty to one!
00:14:02 Twenty to bloody one!
00:14:34 Well, my dears,
00:14:37 I'm sure I can say on behalf
00:14:40 that it's moments like this that make
00:14:43 You mean, you just don't do it
00:14:47 Mrs Davisson, this is a business,
00:14:51 But our ultimate satisfaction is the
00:14:55 Nice of you, Miss Barling.
00:14:59 Well, it's up to us now, I guess, eh?
00:15:02 Yes. And good-bye, Mr Salt.
00:15:04 Bye, Miss Barling. Thank you.
00:15:06 It's been our pleasure.
00:15:10 After all, I know you're
00:15:12 - lt's good to share an interest.
00:15:15 Come on, Neville. Best foot forward.
00:15:18 We should go straight and
00:15:21 What's your rush?
00:15:24 Let's go to my place first.
00:15:27 Did you know, Neville,
00:15:29 was up at 5:30 every morning of his life?
00:15:32 By the time he brought me my cup
00:15:36 he would've cleaned the whole
00:15:40 that in 14 years, he never woke me once.
00:15:42 Not once!
00:15:44 Oh, a neat man, was he, then?
00:15:46 He liked a tidy place. So do I, come to that.
00:15:50 Dandruff. We'll have
00:16:00 Afternoon.
00:16:03 You're new here, aren't you?
00:16:07 I've been here for over a year now.
00:16:11 You can inform Mrs Blaney
00:16:12 that one of her less successful
00:16:15 - And who shall I say is calling?
00:16:19 Or if you preferred it,
00:16:21 late of the RAF
00:16:24 I see. Is Mrs Blaney expecting you?
00:16:28 She must be. Everybody expects a
00:16:34 Mrs Blaney, there's a Mr Blaney to see you.
00:16:37 Mr Blaney? Send him in, please, Monica.
00:16:47 - Hello, Brenda.
00:16:51 What are you doing here?
00:16:53 I just thought I'd call around.
00:16:56 - Well, come in. Take a seat.
00:17:02 It's good to see you.
00:17:04 You too. You look fine.
00:17:07 I'll be with you in a minute.
00:17:13 How is everything, Brenda?
00:17:15 - You making a fortune?
00:17:19 Streets of London full of lonely
00:17:22 That's it.
00:17:25 I'm amazed that in an age where
00:17:29 - that you can find any clients.
00:17:33 - I'm not insulting you!
00:17:37 Why? I don't care if Vinegar Joe
00:17:41 Why don't you get her
00:17:43 Preferably to a 700-pound Japanese wrestler.
00:17:46 That should iron out some
00:17:50 Monica, dear, it's nearly 4:30.
00:17:52 Why don't you take
00:17:54 l'm sure there's some shopping
00:17:56 Well, thank you, Mrs Blaney,
00:17:59 I'm quite sure, thank you. Good night.
00:18:07 Why do you always come
00:18:10 l don't always come
00:18:13 l don't always come to see you.
00:18:16 You were half seas over then,
00:18:19 - I'm not going through that again.
00:18:22 Don't be bloody ridiculous.
00:18:24 Would I raise a hand
00:18:26 What Brenda Blaney brings together
00:18:31 l didn't say you were violent to me.
00:18:34 But you certainly acted the fool
00:18:46 Just look at the state you're in!
00:18:48 - Really!
00:18:51 Bachelors are supposed
00:18:53 Isn't tidiness most women's dowry,
00:18:57 Oh, we are bitter today.
00:19:00 - What's the matter?
00:19:04 I had a bad day, that's all. I lost my job.
00:19:08 How?
00:19:10 I got fired, that's how.
00:19:13 For pinching a glass of brandy.
00:19:17 My employer thought I wasn't going
00:19:19 Till?
00:19:21 I was working,
00:19:26 And I was given a very good horse
00:19:31 It came in at twenty to one, and
00:19:35 I'm sorry.
00:19:39 Well, these things always go in threes.
00:19:42 I wonder what the rest of the day
00:19:45 Dinner with me, I hope.
00:19:50 That, of course, would be delightful, but -
00:19:53 I mean, of course, on me. We'll go to my club.
00:19:58 But I must finish these letters first.
00:20:00 Here's the address, in case you've forgotten it.
00:20:03 How will it be if we meet there
00:20:06 Fine.
00:20:09 Thanks for a lovely evening.
00:20:12 Thanks for joining me.
00:20:15 It was a damn sight better
00:20:17 not that I'm in for more of those.
00:20:20 You ought to get married again, Richard.
00:20:21 Oh, no. You ought to know I'm no
00:20:26 - Nine years, was it?
00:20:29 Ah, ten years. It was a good job
00:20:33 I don't know. I suppose I was lucky
00:20:38 You mean, you're lucky
00:20:41 - I didn't say that.
00:20:44 I suppose some people are good
00:20:48 - That's all l meant.
00:20:51 Rubbish! You know what filthy luck I had.
00:20:54 Was it my fault that the roadhouse didn't go?
00:20:56 - lt was OK before the motorway.
00:20:58 Was it my fault the council
00:21:01 I know. I know life can be very unfair.
00:21:04 But you never used to be sorry for yourself.
00:21:06 Where's the Richard Blaney l married?
00:21:09 Richard Blaney, DFC.
00:21:13 ""For inspiring leadership, skill,
00:21:15 and tenacity of purpose. '
00:21:17 You divorced him.
00:21:20 Tell me, what sort of skill do
00:21:22 - and interfering bureaucrats?
00:21:25 Let them. I'll bet they've never had
00:21:30 lt's alright for you. You just go
00:21:33 You're like that. You're good at business.
00:21:36 I'll bet they're all good at business here.
00:21:38 I'll bet you're making a fortune
00:21:40 And why not?
00:21:43 The respectable kind, of course.
00:21:47 Now look what you've done.
00:21:49 - Oh, sir. Let me help you.
00:21:59 I'm sorry. I didn't mean that.
00:22:03 Come on. We'd better go.
00:22:06 Will you be alright?
00:22:08 You did say you hadn't
00:22:11 Don't worry.
00:22:31 - You had a coat too, didn't you?
00:22:34 Mine's the pink one.
00:22:36 No, no, no. That's not allowed.
00:22:39 Rules of the club.
00:22:45 Thank you.
00:22:59 It's alright, Richard.
00:23:02 So, this is it, huh?
00:23:05 Can I come in?
00:23:09 Go along now. Run along home. It's late.
00:23:12 - You call this late?
00:23:16 Come on, Brenda. I won't be long, I promise.
00:23:20 Alright, but only for a few minutes, mind.
00:23:24 OK, thanks. I won't need you.
00:23:58 It just fell out of your pocket
00:24:00 And I was just putting it back...
00:24:04 It sort of jerked out like on the floor.
00:24:07 I was putting 'em in quiet like
00:24:10 Keep your hands out of my pockets,
00:24:13 Honestly, there's nothing I detest
00:24:18 with a fine gentleman like yourself.
00:24:33 Oh, it's you again, Mr Robinson.
00:24:35 Yes, I'm afraid so.
00:24:37 I'm having my lunch just now.
00:24:40 If you want an appointment,
00:24:44 - By the way, how did you get in?
00:24:48 Just a question of using your head.
00:24:52 I waited in the courtyard
00:24:56 - lt all seems a bit elaborate.
00:25:02 You're the one I wanted to see.
00:25:06 I thought I'd already explained
00:25:09 Oh, come on now. I know that you
00:25:15 Look, Mr Robinson,
00:25:19 How shall l put it?
00:25:20 Certain peculiarities appeal to you,
00:25:23 and you need women to submit to them.
00:25:26 Here we have, I'm afraid,
00:25:29 As I say, we can do nothing for you.
00:25:31 Now if you'll kindly let me
00:25:33 I don't think you're really
00:25:37 I mean, if you can fix up a lot
00:25:43 I've explained. You're different.
00:25:45 How so?
00:25:47 I have my good points.
00:25:50 I like flowers,
00:25:52 and... fruit.
00:25:56 People like me.
00:25:59 I've got things to give.
00:26:01 I'm sorry.
00:26:03 I thought matrimonial agencies were
00:26:07 Not people like you.
00:26:10 Somehow I don't think
00:26:12 your conception of a loving relationship.
00:26:14 I get on with all sorts of people.
00:26:16 Good. Then you don't need us.
00:26:19 - There are other marriage agencies.
00:26:22 Not that any reputable agency
00:26:25 I've been elsewhere.
00:26:28 But... this one, for me, is the best...
00:26:32 because... l like you.
00:26:41 You're... my type of woman.
00:26:47 - Don't be ridiculous.
00:26:52 I respect a woman like you,
00:26:54 and I know how to treat you as well.
00:27:00 You know, in my trade we have a saying.
00:27:04 We put it on the fruit.
00:27:07 ""Don't squeeze the goods 'til they're yours.""
00:27:10 Now, that's me.
00:27:13 I would never do that.
00:27:17 You know that, don't you?
00:27:23 Excuse me. I've just remembered
00:27:27 There's no need to call the police.
00:27:34 What made you think
00:27:37 Just intuition, I suppose.
00:27:40 Oh! English?
00:27:43 Yeah, of course it is.
00:27:49 That's a very frugal lunch
00:27:52 Frugal...
00:27:54 and mean.
00:27:56 Certainly not enough to support
00:28:02 Rather too opulent, I'm afraid,
00:28:06 Why don't you come out and have
00:28:08 I really can't leave the office just now.
00:28:11 - I'd buy you the best lunch in town.
00:28:17 Alright. It's a deal.
00:28:21 You mean it?
00:28:23 Of course.
00:28:27 Just let me wash my hands. Aah!
00:28:31 - I thought we were going to lunch.
00:28:35 Afterwards.
00:28:37 Aah!
00:28:40 Alright. I know what you want, but not here.
00:28:45 - Let's go back to my place.
00:28:48 You've got nothing to worry about here.
00:28:49 - My secretary may come back soon.
00:28:53 How long do you give her
00:28:55 Fifteen minutes. She may be here any minute.
00:28:58 The outside door is locked.
00:29:01 She's got her own key.
00:29:05 I don't believe you.
00:29:08 Do you know what happens
00:29:21 Don't worry. Don't worry.
00:29:25 You've got nothing to worry about.
00:29:32 Agh!
00:29:45 Leave me alone. Please!
00:29:47 T-Take the money out of my bag,
00:29:49 but please, leave me alone.
00:29:55 In my bag there's enough money to
00:30:00 Take it! Just take it!
00:30:02 I don't buy women.
00:30:07 You are. Yes.
00:30:11 You are my type of woman.
00:30:15 L-Let me answer the telephone.
00:30:17 If you don't,
00:30:20 I told you, I locked the outer door.
00:30:24 Oh, God!
00:30:27 Leave me alone.
00:30:30 Alright. Alright, I won't struggle.
00:30:33 But I like you to struggle.
00:30:40 Please, don't tear my dress.
00:30:44 I'll take it off if you like.
00:30:51 Lovely.
00:30:54 Lovely.
00:30:58 Lovely.
00:30:59 Thou shall not be afraid
00:31:02 Lovely.
00:31:04 Nor for the arrow which flieth by day.
00:31:06 Lovely.
00:31:07 Nor for the pestilence
00:31:10 Lovely!
00:31:12 Nor for the destruction
00:31:14 Lovely.
00:31:16 He shall give His angels charge over thee,
00:31:20 Lovely!
00:31:22 Lovely!
00:31:25 Lovely!
00:31:28 Lovely!
00:31:31 Lovely.
00:31:40 You... bitch!
00:31:43 Women! They're all the same.
00:31:50 They are.
00:31:53 I'll show you.
00:32:08 My God! The tie!
00:32:18 Dear Jesus, help me. Help me.
00:34:46 Hello?
00:34:50 Anyone there?
00:34:52 Brenda, it's Richard.
00:35:58 Hello.
00:36:01 Hello, Globe?
00:36:04 Is that you, Blaney?
00:36:08 ringin' up here in my busiest time.
00:36:10 I don't know where she is.
00:36:13 l most certainly will not nip 'round
00:36:16 - Hello, Dickie. Is that you?
00:36:19 - Here, guv. Give us a pint.
00:36:21 I'm fine. How are you?
00:36:23 I'm OK. Look, I need my things,
00:36:26 but I don't particularly fancy
00:36:30 Do you think you could put 'em in
00:36:34 Are you sure?
00:36:37 Don't worry. It's my half day today.
00:36:41 I'll be opposite the Leicester Square
00:36:44 OK, at 4:00. I've gotta run now. Bye.
00:36:48 Don't start lending him money.
00:36:49 Mind your own business.
00:36:51 - He's no good for you, Babs.
00:36:53 Hey, guv! Take a whiff of this!
00:37:00 How far from here was the place
00:37:04 About five or ten minutes.
00:37:07 Good afternoon, sir.
00:37:09 Good afternoon, one and all.
00:37:13 - Would you do the honours?
00:37:16 The murdered woman is a Mrs Brenda Blaney.
00:37:18 She ran this business, and was found
00:37:23 on her return from lunch
00:37:29 - Afternoon.
00:37:33 - Has Miss Barling any ideas?
00:37:36 She says she saw
00:37:38 leaving the building
00:37:41 I saw him clear as day.
00:37:44 He came out of the door downstairs
00:37:48 The beast!
00:37:50 I'm sorry, Miss Barling. I must press you.
00:37:52 Are you sure it was Mr Blaney?
00:37:55 Absolutely! I'd know him anywhere.
00:37:57 He came here yesterday afternoon,
00:38:00 He'd been drinking
00:38:04 - And did he see her?
00:38:08 - What happened?
00:38:11 They started having a row
00:38:13 Mrs Blaney came out and said I might go.
00:38:15 Quite naturally I didn't want
00:38:18 I couldn't help overhearing that
00:38:24 both in his language and his behaviour.
00:38:27 - Did he strike Mrs Blaney?
00:38:31 - There was the sound of a blow.
00:38:35 Miss Barling, could you
00:38:37 What he looked like,
00:38:40 Yes, I think I can.
00:38:42 He was a man in his thirties,
00:38:45 He had dark hair, green eyes and a moustache.
00:38:48 I estimate his weight at about 155 pounds.
00:38:51 He was wearing a rather old-fashioned jacket
00:38:53 with leather patches
00:38:56 In my opinion, it was
00:38:58 He was also carrying a raincoat.
00:39:01 That's an extraordinarily
00:39:03 In my job I've learned to keep
00:39:09 Excuse me.
00:39:10 I found this handbag on the desk,
00:39:13 That doesn't make sense.
00:39:14 I cashed a cheque for 50 pounds
00:39:17 It makes perfect sense to me.
00:39:20 - Sometimes she zips it in the pocket.
00:39:24 Have this face powder identified,
00:39:26 There might be some on the stolen money.
00:39:29 Alright, sir.
00:39:31 What about fingerprints?
00:39:33 With all the clowns who come
00:39:50 Coburg Hotel, Bayswater.
00:39:51 Hey, wait a moment.
00:39:55 - I'll tell you later.
00:39:58 - So, what you been up to, Dick?
00:40:01 I allowed myself to be pampered
00:40:05 I tell you, after mixing
00:40:07 one's clothing needs fumigation.
00:40:09 - Smell that.
00:40:11 - You mean you slept there?
00:40:14 - What? With all the old men?
00:40:17 We had a high old time.
00:40:20 the Red Biddy flowed down
00:40:22 and the good fellowship
00:40:24 - Red Biddy. What's that?
00:40:27 Half vino, half metholated spirits.
00:40:29 - But why, Dick?
00:40:33 - Thirty pence a night, in fact.
00:40:35 How can you afford the Coburg?
00:40:38 Well, I managed to get some money.
00:40:41 - Since last night?
00:40:43 - I, uh, I collected an old debt.
00:40:47 Yeah.
00:40:50 OK.
00:40:52 Oooh!
00:41:15 Thank you.
00:41:30 - Double room, please.
00:41:33 - Ssh.
00:41:35 or the, uh, matrimonial-size bed?
00:41:38 The mat... Double bed.
00:41:40 - Please.
00:41:45 Three-two-two should suit you.
00:41:48 - Really?
00:41:52 - lf you'll just sign the register.
00:41:56 Mr and Mrs Oscar Wilde.
00:42:00 - Now, look here, Dick Blaney!
00:42:02 - Will you stop playing games!
00:42:06 That'll be ten pounds,
00:42:11 Perhaps you'd care to settle now?
00:42:17 - There we are.
00:42:19 - Room, please?
00:42:27 Follow me, please.
00:42:36 You've got 322. That's nice.
00:42:38 Yes. The Cupid Room, I think she called it.
00:42:41 Love's little arrows have struck quite
00:42:44 Oh, yeah.
00:42:46 Can I get you anything
00:42:48 No, thank you.
00:43:00 - Ta.
00:43:05 - (Blaney) Hey!
00:43:07 Hang on. Can you send this
00:43:10 - Certainly, sir.
00:43:14 And, uh, might as well take
00:43:18 Tell them that I want them sprayed.
00:43:20 Sprayed, sir? With what?
00:43:22 - DDT, my good man. What else?
00:43:25 Death to the lurking roach, porter.
00:43:29 - Get 'em cleaned and pressed, eh?
00:44:25 Oh, dear!
00:44:29 Hey, Glad, take a look at this.
00:44:36 Oh! Oh, that poor woman.
00:44:39 It's the jacket I'm talkin' about.
00:44:43 ""The police want to interview a man
00:44:47 about the time of the murder.""
00:44:48 ""When last seen he was wearing
00:44:51 on the shoulders and elbows
00:44:55 - What an odd way to patch a jacket.
00:44:59 The party in 322 was wearin' it.
00:45:02 Do you mean... Do you mean Mr Oscar Wilde?
00:45:05 That's not his real name, silly.
00:45:09 He's the fellow the police are looking for.
00:45:11 Don't you see? He's the necktie murderer.
00:45:13 And we've got him upstairs
00:45:16 Oh, dear! I only hope that girl isn't
00:45:20 I can't believe it! Not in the Cupid Room!
00:45:24 You know, Glad, sometimes just
00:45:27 makes me want to heave.
00:45:28 Hello. Will you give me the police, please?
00:45:34 Hello, police? I'm the porter
00:45:39 Could you come at once?
00:45:42 You know, the necktie murderer?
00:45:44 He came here with a girl.
00:45:50 Come away, Glad.
00:46:45 Open up!
00:46:48 Open up! Police!
00:47:05 They must've gone down the back stairs.
00:47:11 But I ask you, in all conscience,
00:47:14 is it likely I would murder a woman
00:47:17 If it was true, it would be horrible.
00:47:19 And rape her... after ten years of marriage?
00:47:22 I don't know. Perhaps you was jealous of her.
00:47:25 - Of Brenda? Oh, come off it.
00:47:28 Maybe you wanted to get rid of her.
00:47:30 But I had got rid of her.
00:47:32 We were divorced, remember.
00:47:35 There was no question of alimony.
00:47:38 You got that money from her, didn't you?
00:47:42 Well, yes, I did.
00:47:43 But she gave it to me the night
00:47:46 - Twenty pounds.
00:47:50 I suppose I was ashamed
00:47:52 That makes sense, I suppose.
00:47:55 But if Brenda gave you that money,
00:47:58 You could've afforded a hotel.
00:48:02 She slipped it into the pocket of my raincoat.
00:48:04 Oh, go on, Dick. Why don't you pull
00:48:07 But it's true! I suppose
00:48:11 You've got to admit, it is pretty tall.
00:48:14 Not as tall as me sleeping in a doss
00:48:18 If I knew I had it,
00:48:20 - Maybe.
00:48:23 Would you sleep there if you didn't have to?
00:48:25 It wasn't that bad, that jacket.
00:48:27 I still think it's a bit suspicious,
00:48:29 Suspicious of what?
00:48:31 In them sex cases,
00:48:33 It stank to high heaven!
00:48:35 That's why. You know it did.
00:48:40 Barbara, I swear I'm telling the truth.
00:48:43 Do I look like a sex murderer to you?
00:48:47 Can you imagine me creeping around,
00:48:51 That's ridiculous. For a start, I only own two.
00:48:56 Well, it's true. That jacket was a bit smelly.
00:49:00 And if you had known about the money,
00:49:02 you wouldn't have stayed
00:49:04 Then you believe me?
00:49:07 Thousands wouldn't.
00:49:09 Thanks.
00:49:13 I must be soft in the head
00:49:15 put his arms around me.
00:49:17 - Shows you trust me.
00:49:24 Hey, what we gonna do?
00:49:28 I don't know. I haven't thought yet.
00:49:30 There's only one thing you can do.
00:49:33 - No, I can't do that.
00:49:35 - They'd never believe me.
00:49:37 You're not the law.
00:49:41 You have to go along and persuade
00:49:44 I mean, one look at you and they'd
00:49:50 - (Man) Blaney!
00:49:53 Dicko!
00:50:36 Haven't done any of this
00:50:40 That's when I first met Dicko,
00:50:43 He was a bit of
00:50:52 # (Whistling)
00:50:59 Hetty, you remember Dicko, don't you?
00:51:01 Of course. Come in.
00:51:03 - This is Miss Milligan.
00:51:05 - Pleased to meet you.
00:51:08 How fortunate!
00:51:12 How's Brenda? Do you still hear from her?
00:51:17 Well, uh, she's dead... I'm afraid.
00:51:19 - Yes... and you killed her!
00:51:25 - He's just been telling me all about it.
00:51:31 See, he was seen near the place
00:51:34 So the police think he's the strangler chap.
00:51:38 All he wants is a place to hide out.
00:51:41 And you suggested he should stay here.
00:51:45 Well, yes. It seemed a good idea.
00:51:46 Nobody ever knows who's staying here.
00:51:48 You're a bloody fool, Johnny,
00:51:52 - But he didn't do it.
00:51:55 - What, old Dicko?
00:52:00 He always treated her like a chit!
00:52:03 I think you're absolutely wrong.
00:52:05 Don't you remember that
00:52:08 The things you did to her!
00:52:10 - Divorce petition?
00:52:13 He was divorced from his wife
00:52:18 Thank you very much.
00:52:21 Well, is it true?
00:52:24 Yes!
00:52:25 Both extreme mental and physical cruelty.
00:52:29 Depravity was mentioned, I think.
00:52:31 It had to read that way,
00:52:34 The lawyers made it all up.
00:52:36 We didn't want to wait three years
00:52:40 so I allowed her to divorce me
00:52:42 Extreme cruelty.
00:52:45 I wonder if the police have read a copy of it.
00:52:50 My God!
00:52:53 Yes, l'm sure they'll be fascinated.
00:52:55 - He's innocent, I know he is.
00:52:59 As you say, they'd been divorced.
00:53:02 There's no spiteful act
00:53:06 especially if he were drunk.
00:53:07 Were you drunk when you did it?
00:53:10 I didn't do it, Hetty.
00:53:12 I didn't do it! I swear!
00:53:14 Then why don't you go to the police
00:53:17 I didn't want to involve him. He insisted.
00:53:20 That's right, I did.
00:53:22 I still say, why don't you go
00:53:26 They'd never believe him, that's why.
00:53:28 He's the only suspect they've got,
00:53:32 they'd lock him up without
00:53:35 Please hide him, Mrs Porter, just for tonight,
00:53:39 until we can think what's best to do.
00:53:41 'Course we'll hide him.
00:53:45 Well, if you want to be arrested
00:53:48 or subverting the course of justice
00:53:51 on your own head be it, Johnny.
00:53:53 But I wash my hands of the matter.
00:53:55 Thank God we're off to Paris tomorrow.
00:53:58 That is, if we're not all in jail!
00:54:09 - Perhaps I'd better go.
00:54:11 Don't worry about Hetty.
00:54:15 I must be off. I'm ever so late already.
00:54:17 - What do you do, Miss Milligan?
00:54:19 - Same place he used to be.
00:54:22 Why don't both of you slip out of the
00:54:25 - Give me a hand at the Bulldog.
00:54:28 It's an English pub I've opened in Paris.
00:54:32 That's a great idea. Why don't we?
00:54:34 Not likely. I never was any good at French.
00:54:37 You don't have to be. It's an English pub.
00:54:39 As long as you can say ""non,""
00:54:43 - Well...
00:54:45 You don't like the Globe
00:54:47 Meet me at the flower stall at
00:54:51 We can get a day trip to France.
00:54:55 - OK.
00:54:58 Froggies will roll over and die at
00:55:02 I must go now, really. You know Forsythe.
00:55:08 Mum's the word, eh?
00:55:11 Cross me heart and hope to die.
00:55:15 Thanks for lookin' after him.
00:55:17 I'll come see you to the lift.
00:56:07 Enjoying that, are you, sir?
00:56:10 Sergeant, my wife is
00:56:14 at the Continental School
00:56:16 To eat well in this country,
00:56:19 one must have breakfast
00:56:21 And an English breakfast at that.
00:56:25 - Beg pardon, sir?
00:56:28 in floating bits of boiled milk,
00:56:31 - That's what I had this morning.
00:56:33 I'm a... Quaker Oats man, myself.
00:56:39 Excuse me, sir.
00:56:41 This has just come in.
00:56:44 - that Blaney paid the hotel bill with.
00:56:47 As you'll see, the note
00:56:50 identical to that which we found
00:56:52 - Thank you.
00:56:55 Well, Sergeant, we were in luck after all.
00:56:58 - That just about does it for him.
00:57:02 I've never run into any of these
00:57:07 Oh, they vary, but not a lot.
00:57:09 The thing to remember is they hate
00:57:12 - Impotent?
00:57:18 In the latter stage of the disease,
00:57:20 it's the strangling, not the sex,
00:57:23 Above all, of course, they're sadists.
00:57:25 - You know what they are, I'm sure.
00:57:28 Mrs Blaney's divorce petition.
00:57:32 It tells you a great deal
00:57:37 Yeah?
00:57:39 Right. Put him on.
00:57:42 My name is Forsythe, Inspector. Felix Forsythe.
00:57:46 I run the Globe Public House, Covent Garden.
00:57:48 I see from the newspaper you're
00:57:52 Yes, that is so.
00:57:53 Good, because I've got
00:57:56 Now, this man you're looking for,
00:58:01 I know him. He worked here as a barman.
00:58:04 His name is Richard Blaney.
00:58:07 Are you quite certain it's the same man?
00:58:12 Gone off with your barmaid?
00:58:15 She's been out all night with him
00:58:17 I felt it my duty to tell you that
00:58:22 That is, of course,
00:58:23 Thank you for your information, Mr Forsythe.
00:58:25 Tell me, what does this
00:58:34 I can set your mind at rest.
00:58:38 8:00 this morning?
00:58:40 Well, where is she now? We opened at 1 1 :00!
00:58:43 But is she coming back here or not?
00:58:47 I expect she'll turn up.
00:58:49 Today, ladies abandon their honour
00:58:53 Thank you for your information,
00:58:56 That was Forsythe, manager of
00:59:06 I tell you what, Jim,
00:59:09 - Got enough troubles of me own.
00:59:12 The potato business is poison, always was.
00:59:15 It costs a fortune to dig 'em up,
00:59:18 And what do you have at the end?
00:59:21 Mostly you can't sell them.
00:59:23 I've got to send a truckload
00:59:26 And what will they do with them?
00:59:30 Can you beat it?
00:59:31 And they say
00:59:33 True, Jim.
00:59:36 Come on, have one with your Uncle Bob.
00:59:40 Good afternoon!
00:59:42 Where do you think you've been?
00:59:46 You took a hell of a chance,
00:59:50 - How do you know what I did?
00:59:52 You took his clothes.
00:59:54 - Mind your own bleeding business!
00:59:58 I was worried you might be next.
01:00:02 - Police?
01:00:03 - They're sending a fella over.
01:00:05 Why? Because they want your lover.
01:00:06 They wanna put him where he can't
01:00:10 And you'd better help 'em.
01:00:12 Don't you talk about him like that!
01:00:14 You don't realise how lucky
01:00:17 Christ Almighty, Babs, if I wasn't
01:00:21 - As it is, right after closing time -
01:00:24 You can stuff your rotten job
01:00:25 - Come back, you!
01:00:34 Got a place to stay?
01:00:36 - Oh, it's you, Bob.
01:00:39 - I heard you argue with Forsythe.
01:00:42 Of course he is.
01:00:50 You can stay at my place 'til you get
01:00:55 I won't be in your way.
01:00:57 - No strings?
01:01:00 All blokes are that sort of a bloke.
01:01:04 - Are you really goin' away?
01:01:06 You can have the place to yourself.
01:01:09 If you like, I'll go back to the Globe
01:01:12 Now, I can't say fairer than that, can I?
01:01:14 Oh, thanks, Bob. I'll just stay
01:01:17 - Suit yourself
01:01:20 I'm going to my sister in Southall.
01:01:23 Leaving your boyfriend
01:01:25 He has to make up
01:01:27 I'd like to help him if I could.
01:01:31 - Can't tell you, Bob. I promised.
01:01:33 Come on, Babs. Dick and me have
01:01:36 I can't.
01:01:38 Alright. Keep your little secret.
01:01:42 Changing jobs can be a blessing in disguise.
01:01:46 A girl like you ought to travel,
01:01:50 The Cape, California, Jaffa.
01:01:53 that's where I'd like to go
01:01:55 But you, you can do as you please!
01:01:58 You've got the whole
01:02:03 Here we are. I'm on the second floor.
01:02:25 I don't know if you know it, Babs,
01:02:27 but you're my type of woman.
01:03:31 - (Mrs Oxford) ls that you, Tim?
01:03:35 - Hungry?
01:03:38 Good. I'll bring it right in.
01:03:43 It's a soupe de poisson, dear.
01:03:46 - l know you'll enjoy it.
01:03:49 Don't wait for me. I'm just going
01:03:56 Well... what's new in the case?
01:04:01 No. I'll be glad when we get
01:04:06 Any idea where he is?
01:04:10 No, our only lead to him
01:04:14 - l don't know where she is either.
01:04:18 Oh, yes, he's... the one, alright.
01:04:21 There's not even the complication
01:04:23 lt has to be him.
01:04:30 We have him identified as leaving
01:04:33 at the time his ex was killed.
01:04:35 We have the clothes which he sent
01:04:40 And we have the evidence of the face powder
01:04:43 and the Salvation Army hostel.
01:04:45 I don't follow you, my dear.
01:04:47 I didn't think the Salvation Army
01:04:50 No, Blaney slept in a Salvation Army
01:04:55 - Did he, dear?
01:05:00 He was incautious enough
01:05:03 I don't think an ex-RAF officer
01:05:06 - unless he was broke, do you?
01:05:09 So, let's assume he was.
01:05:13 Last night, however, he slept in the...
01:05:16 Coburg Hotel in Bayswater,
01:05:17 and paid for his extremely expensive
01:05:23 The note bore traces
01:05:26 I mean, the murderer
01:05:29 he stole money from her handbag as well.
01:05:31 Ergo... Blaney is the thief
01:05:37 That ties it up then.
01:05:39 Well, I think so.
01:05:43 And furthermore, there is a waitress
01:05:45 at Mrs Blaney's club who can also testify
01:05:47 to Blaney's aggressive behaviour
01:05:52 He doesn't seem to have been
01:05:54 No. Discretion is not traditionally
01:05:58 Believe me, that's what we're dealing with.
01:06:00 You ought to read his wife's divorce...
01:06:03 What exactly is in this soup?
01:06:05 Why? Don't you like it?
01:06:07 Mmm! It's delicious.
01:06:12 But I find the...
01:06:13 ingredients somewhat mystifying.
01:06:17 They're smelts, ling,
01:06:19 conger eel, John Dory,
01:06:22 pilchards and frog fish.
01:06:26 Now, since that must've been
01:06:28 I thought a simple
01:06:36 Caille aux raisins.
01:06:39 Hmm?
01:06:41 Quail with... grapes.
01:06:45 Ahh!
01:06:51 - I must say, I'm very worried.
01:06:54 Yes. He's gone off with a barmaid
01:06:58 l think she's in very great danger.
01:07:01 You're wrong, Tim. Absolutely wrong.
01:07:04 lt can't be this fellow.
01:07:06 How long did you say he was married?
01:07:08 Ten years.
01:07:10 Well... there you are.
01:07:12 A crime de passion after all that time?
01:07:17 Look at us. We've only been married
01:07:20 and you can hardly keep
01:07:23 That's as may be,
01:07:26 or make you do degrading things.
01:07:28 No, the evidence speaks for itself.
01:07:31 You can't make normal judgments
01:07:35 They can be triggered off at any time.
01:07:37 We've got to find him before his...
01:11:45 Christ all-bloody-mighty!
01:12:36 See you, mate.
01:14:40 # (Whistling)
01:14:45 Ah... Ah...
01:15:05 You bitch! Where's that bloody pin?
01:15:08 # (Whistling)
01:15:29 Hey, you're spilling your load!
01:15:31 - What?
01:18:44 # (Music From lnside Cafe)
01:20:16 Hey, do you see what I see?
01:20:49 - Here, what's wrong... Who is it?
01:20:56 - Wake up!
01:20:57 - Get out of here!
01:20:59 Brenda wasn't enough for you.
01:21:02 - What girl?
01:21:06 - Babs?
01:21:09 You strangled her like all the others!
01:21:12 She's been strangled?
01:21:14 Don't you playact with me.
01:21:18 I'd call the police myself if I knew
01:21:21 I don't believe it. I just don't believe it.
01:21:24 It's true, Dicko. It just came over on the radio.
01:21:27 They found her in a potato truck
01:21:30 The fellow at the pub
01:21:31 He knows where they found her.
01:21:34 What are you talking about?
01:21:37 Liar. I don't believe you.
01:21:38 It doesn't matter whether
01:21:41 because it said on the radio she had
01:21:44 when they found her at 3:00 this morning.
01:21:46 She must've been killed
01:21:49 Dick was with us from the time
01:21:52 So he couldn't have done it.
01:21:54 - Poor kid.
01:21:57 They're only guessing when she was killed.
01:21:59 We didn't go to bed 'til 1 1 :00,
01:22:02 They can't be eight hours adrift. Dicko?
01:22:06 Don't you see? You're in the clear!
01:22:11 Yes. Yes, I suppose you can.
01:22:13 There's no supposing. We'll simply
01:22:16 Would you do that? Would you do it
01:22:19 - Of course I would. Delighted.
01:22:23 Not unless you want to go to jail
01:22:26 - But he's not a criminal.
01:22:28 And they have a lot of evidence against him.
01:22:30 We know he didn't kill her.
01:22:33 But we don't know he didn't kill Miss Milligan!
01:22:36 For all we know the time given
01:22:38 What is certain, if you go to the police,
01:22:41 they will probably charge you with
01:22:44 And they certainly
01:22:46 and they will probably put us in jail.
01:22:55 Well, Hetty's right, dammit.
01:23:00 You mean you won't come
01:23:02 - How can I? You heard Hetty.
01:23:06 I'm sorry. I've got to get to Paris today.
01:23:09 But you can afford to stand by
01:23:12 - ls that it?
01:23:13 I mean, they'll find this strangler chappie.
01:23:15 Of all the cowardly shits!
01:23:17 lt's ""l'm alright Jack,
01:23:20 You pair of bastards!
01:23:22 If that's how you feel after all we've
01:23:25 I'll call the manager.
01:23:27 And involve yourself? Don't worry, I'm going.
01:23:31 I'm a little choosy with whom
01:23:35 Look, I'm sorry. I'd suggest that you
01:23:40 but they're watching all the ports
01:23:43 Well, that lets you out then, doesn't it?
01:23:45 Your responsibility for me ends here.
01:23:52 Clear this area, please. Thank you, madam.
01:23:57 Looks as though we've got half
01:24:00 Yeah. It makes it very difficult
01:24:04 I suppose they're trying to find out
01:24:05 if anybody saw Blaney put
01:24:08 - You think he did it, do you?
01:24:11 Why? Don't you?
01:24:13 I'm not as eager as some
01:24:15 What are you talkin' about?
01:24:18 - I had to sack him for stealin'.
01:24:20 Yeah, Blaney was a thief, right bastard.
01:24:23 I even told that Chief Inspector,
01:24:26 I expect he's laughing
01:24:29 - You reckon?
01:24:31 He wasn't so cocky
01:24:34 I've just been down
01:24:37 From photos. They took 'em
01:24:42 - She wasn't a pretty sight.
01:24:46 Yeah. I better get a move on.
01:24:47 Business will be pretty brisk today.
01:24:51 Absolutely! Jumping up to identify
01:24:54 See you later.
01:25:01 My God, Dick!
01:25:06 Whatcha doin' here?
01:25:08 I'm sorry, Bob,
01:25:10 The people I was staying
01:25:13 I wouldn't have come, but you did
01:25:17 Yes, of course! But you took a hell
01:25:20 The whole place is teeming with coppers.
01:25:27 You'd better hole up in my place for
01:25:31 Yes. I thought maybe if you had the room.
01:25:34 I know it's a hell of an imposition
01:25:37 You've got to believe me.
01:25:41 This whole business is insane! You know me.
01:25:44 - l wouldn't do anything like this.
01:25:48 The police, as usual, have got
01:25:52 I mean, these sort of killings
01:25:55 That man must be a sexual maniac.
01:26:00 Mind you, there are some women
01:26:05 But you? Don't make me laugh.
01:26:08 Now... don't worry.
01:26:10 You've done the right thing
01:26:14 Right. Well, let's get over to
01:26:17 - Yeah.
01:26:19 - Then you'll be less conspicuous .
01:26:21 You follow, but go the long way.
01:26:24 And then work your way up
01:26:26 Yeah.
01:27:48 Well done, boy! Come in.
01:27:50 Make yourself comfortable.
01:27:53 - Very cozy.
01:27:57 You know, my home.
01:27:59 The place where when you have
01:28:01 That's what my ol' mum used to say.
01:28:04 - Yes.
01:28:08 - I'm off to the shop. See you later!
01:28:12 There's something to eat in the kitchen.
01:28:14 So get on with it, right?
01:28:16 Bob, I'm really grateful for all this.
01:28:20 l told you, think nothing of it.
01:28:22 Hey, do me a favour, will you?
01:28:24 - Keep away from the windows.
01:28:28 Ta-ta.
01:28:29 Don't do anything I wouldn't do.
01:29:02 Are you Richard Ian Blaney?
01:29:04 - Yes. What is this?
01:29:06 Come quietly, and you won't get hurt.
01:29:07 - Is this necessary?
01:29:10 - Is this your bag?
01:29:27 -Thank you for your help, Mr Rusk.
01:29:32 No reward, I'm afraid.
01:29:34 You know what they say.
01:29:37 I... Well, if you want any more help,
01:29:41 Alright. We know where you are.
01:29:48 How's that kid of yours
01:29:59 - Richard Ian Blaney?
01:30:02 As the result of my inquiries,
01:30:05 with the willful murders
01:30:07 Barbara Jane Milligan and others.
01:30:09 You're not obliged to say anything
01:30:11 Anything you do say will be
01:30:14 and may be used in evidence.
01:30:15 Mr Oxford, could you
01:30:25 Rusk. It's Rusk!
01:30:28 Hold him back. Where was this found?
01:30:30 - Over at Henrietta Street.
01:30:38 ""Miss Barbara Milligan, Globe Public House.""
01:30:40 ""Covent Garden, London, WC2.""
01:30:51 Are you agreed upon your verdict?
01:30:54 We are.
01:30:55 Do you find the prisoner, Richard Ian Blaney,
01:30:57 guilty or not guilty of the murder of Brenda...
01:31:17 ...lan Blaney,
01:31:18 you have been found guilty
01:31:21 On its ghastly and wicked
01:31:25 I only tell you that you must
01:31:28 that you will escape the consequences of it.
01:31:31 The sentence of this court is that you
01:31:36 for not less than 25 years.
01:31:43 Rusk did it! I told you all along!
01:31:46 Rusk!
01:31:47 I keep telling you. Rusk, where are you?
01:31:52 One of these days, you bastard!
01:31:55 Rusk, where are you? Rusk?
01:31:58 One of these days, I'm gonna get out
01:32:01 I've got nothing to lose now!
01:32:03 I might as well do
01:32:05 You remember that! You remember that!
01:32:34 Rusk did it.
01:32:36 Rusk did it. l've told you all along!
01:32:40 Rusk? Rusk, where are you?
01:32:43 One of these days l'm gonna get out
01:32:46 l've got nothing to lose now.
01:32:48 l might as well do what l'm being
01:32:50 You remember that! You remember that!
01:33:05 - Do you see the sign, Hartletts?
01:33:07 lt's the fair-haired chap
01:33:11 - Did you see him?
01:33:12 We'll go around once again,
01:33:17 Yes, Inspector, I remember him well.
01:33:18 He came here on two or three occasions.
01:33:20 Every business has its own
01:33:24 - And yours is men like this?
01:33:27 Most of them are easy enough to get
01:33:30 was particularly insistent.
01:33:32 - He wouldn't take no for an answer.
01:33:35 Yes, that is the man's name.
01:33:44 Here we are.
01:33:45 Mr William Robinson.
01:33:48 You see, Inspector, he wanted us to
01:33:53 well... certain peculiarities.
01:33:56 Who were sexual masochists?
01:34:00 - That sort of thing?
01:34:02 Perhaps you'd better see it for yourself.
01:34:05 Naturally we told him we couldn't oblige,
01:34:09 Is it likely, do you think,
01:34:11 that if Mr Robinson couldn't get
01:34:14 - he would go to others?
01:34:17 Men like this leave no stone unturned
01:34:20 in their search for their
01:34:27 Excuse me, Inspector.
01:34:29 Do you have any special reason
01:34:32 Yes, Miss Barling. And I'd like you
01:34:37 Of course.
01:34:56 Get the doctor quick.
01:35:24 I told you it wasn't Blaney, didn't I?
01:35:27 I told you you were on the wrong track.
01:35:30 A woman's intuition is worth more
01:35:34 I can't think why you don't
01:35:37 So you think it's Rusk, do you?
01:35:40 Well, of course. Anyone can see that.
01:35:43 He knew both Mrs Blaney
01:35:45 - and that Barbara what's-her-name.
01:35:48 Well, there you are.
01:35:50 You told me the man's a sexual pervert.
01:35:52 That's why he kept the clothes
01:35:56 We have no proof of that.
01:35:58 It stands to reason.
01:36:00 Don't you mean intuition?
01:36:04 What does your intuition tell you
01:36:07 Steak and a baked potato.
01:36:09 But you're getting
01:36:16 - (Oxford) lt looks like a pig's foot!
01:36:18 I put it in the same sauce
01:36:22 That's comforting.
01:36:25 Well, when are you going to arrest
01:36:27 this Mr Robinson, or Rusk,
01:36:30 When l have the proof l need.
01:36:32 - lt takes longer than intuition.
01:36:37 In a few minutes I hope, dear.
01:36:40 Really?
01:36:42 You old slyboots. Tell.
01:36:47 Well...
01:36:54 we know that if Rusk is the murderer,
01:36:58 he traveled up in a potato truck
01:37:00 How do we know that?
01:37:02 Did you ever hear of a corpse
01:37:06 What would he want to take
01:37:10 Obviously he was looking for something.
01:37:12 How do we know that?
01:37:14 The corpse was deep in rigor mortis.
01:37:17 He had to break the fingers of the
01:37:24 It would be so nice to get back
01:37:27 What do you think they held?
01:37:30 A locket? A broach? A cross!
01:37:33 It had to be something
01:37:36 Something that he missed
01:37:39 A monogrammed handkerchief, perhaps.
01:37:41 Not a cross, I think.
01:37:44 Well...
01:37:46 I don't see why not.
01:37:48 Religious and sexual mania are closely linked.
01:37:55 Anyway, whatever it was, he found it,
01:37:58 which was unlucky for us.
01:38:01 But we did have one piece of good fortune.
01:38:05 The truck driver told us that he
01:38:09 and that was at a pull-in
01:38:13 - A pull-in?
01:38:15 It's a... cafe frequented by truck drivers, dear.
01:38:20 They serve humble foods
01:38:24 sausages and mashed potatoes
01:38:29 How is it so fortunate
01:38:34 It's not so much that he stopped,
01:38:35 but that he stopped
01:38:39 The only place our man could've
01:38:42 I sent Sergeant Spearman to see
01:38:44 if he could find anyone who
01:38:47 I'm expecting him back at any minute.
01:38:50 Well, eat up, dear. You'll want
01:38:54 Tasty, very tasty.
01:38:56 Not a lot of meat on it, mind.
01:38:59 No sense in gorging, dear.
01:39:01 I'll take mine and eat it while I'm
01:39:11 - Good evening, Sergeant.
01:39:12 - Am I interrupting your dinner?
01:39:15 - Thank you, sir.
01:39:20 Good evening, Sergeant Spearman.
01:39:24 Good evening, madam. I don't know that I...
01:39:26 Oh, that's alright. You're off duty.
01:39:28 How about a Margarita? It's delicious.
01:39:32 Tequila, triple sec,
01:39:34 fresh lemon juice and... salt
01:39:40 - You'll love it.
01:39:46 Sergeant Spearman, you are positively
01:39:49 - You might as well speak out.
01:39:52 The woman behind the counter at the cafe
01:39:54 positively identified Rusk
01:39:57 as being a man who was at the cafe
01:40:00 And that's not all.
01:40:02 - Are you waiting for a drumroll?
01:40:06 The woman also said that Rusk was
01:40:09 and asked to borrow a clothes brush.
01:40:20 This is the brush she lent him, sir.
01:40:22 You see there?
01:40:26 What do you say, Spearman? Potato dust?
01:40:31 Here you are, Sergeant.
01:40:34 Cheers.
01:40:36 - Cheers, madam.
01:40:39 - Yes, l told you. l knew all the time.
01:40:44 - Get this down to the lab quickly.
01:40:48 It rather looks like we put
01:40:51 What do you mean ""we""? You put him away.
01:40:55 - All right, Spearman, you can go.
01:40:58 You haven't finished your drink.
01:40:59 I'm sorry. I have to get
01:41:02 Good night, Spearman. Good work.
01:41:05 - Very good work.
01:41:12 Poor Mr Blaney. You've got
01:41:17 He's in hospital at the moment.
01:41:19 I'll talk to the assistant
01:41:22 and get the case reopened.
01:41:23 He won't like it, but there's
01:41:27 Will they give him any compensation?
01:41:29 I expect they'll give him some money,
01:41:30 but there's no real way
01:41:34 Poor man.
01:41:38 I think the least you can do is ask
01:41:43 Let's see.
01:41:44 lt will obviously have
01:41:48 I think a Caneton aux cerises.
01:41:54 - What's that?
01:41:56 with heavy sweet cherry sauce.
