Frenzy
|
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. |
01:42:01 |
After that jail food he's been having, |
01:42:11 |
Excuse me. |
01:42:13 |
I must see if my soufflé's started to rise. |
01:42:43 |
Hey! Are the pills working? |
01:42:55 |
- He's sleeping like a baby. |
01:42:59 |
Christ, mate, he's had half a dozen. |
01:43:02 |
Good. Now I'm off to get that bastard Rusk! |
01:43:04 |
Alright, alright. Let's make sure. |
01:43:07 |
It's now or never! |
01:43:10 |
George? George! |
01:43:11 |
Alright, George? |
01:43:40 |
Right, son, better be going. |
01:43:43 |
Here, take this strip of mica. |
01:43:45 |
You may need it to open his door. |
01:44:06 |
Doctor? Sister? |
01:44:20 |
Get a trolley, nurse. |
01:44:28 |
Sister, there seems to be |
01:44:32 |
We'll have to admit him for observation |
01:44:34 |
Could he be an epileptic or diabetic? |
01:44:36 |
Not very likely in his sort of job. |
01:44:39 |
We're certainly going to need blood samples. |
01:44:49 |
Sleeping pills! |
01:45:01 |
- Good night. |
01:46:22 |
Hello? |
01:46:24 |
Good God! When was this? |
01:46:26 |
Right. What's that? |
01:46:28 |
Yes. Five minutes. I'll wait outside. |
01:46:32 |
I'm off! Blaney's escaped, |
01:46:38 |
I often wondered whether Blaney |
01:46:41 |
in a suicide attempt, |
01:46:43 |
Now, of course, we have our answer. |
01:49:33 |
No. No! |
01:49:35 |
lt's not - |
01:50:07 |
Mr Rusk. |
01:50:09 |
You're not wearing your tie. |
01:50:13 |
I - |
