Transcript
00:00:00They're making Arnold Hardy the radio presidential candidate.
00:00:05Can't it be a man's day after tomorrow?
00:00:09There's very little prudence.
00:00:11Isn't that idiot, Dickie Bird, gets it like me?
00:00:13Yes.
00:00:14My clever stuff has been tested.
00:00:19Poor boy.
00:00:20I'm sure he'll be in the rest of Congress.
00:00:22He's supposed to be cabinet.
00:00:24We should have to review it.
00:00:26Is he?
00:00:27Oh, yes.
00:00:28Yes.
00:00:48Very successful party, don't you think?
00:00:54Very successful party, don't you think?
00:00:57Oh, very, Dr. Butler. Yes, very successful.
00:01:04I am not.
00:01:27Quite a good idea, Pat.
00:01:29Talk about understripping.
00:01:31You know of that.
00:01:45I said I'd think about it.
00:01:47LAUGHTER
00:01:54Excuse me, Mrs. Highton.
00:01:58May I introduce Mr. Christopher McCormack?
00:02:04They're appalling. I mean, I know it's not your thing.
00:02:07He's a nice young man.
00:02:18I told you there wouldn't be.
00:02:40You look as though you could do with a breath of fresh air, Nicholas.
00:02:43Philip.
00:02:44Philip, I must speak to you at once.
00:02:46Please.
00:02:58Bartlett is selling the syndicate secrets.
00:03:01You're drunk.
00:03:02No, no, I heard them.
00:03:04In there. Rupert and Bartlett and the Sheikh.
00:03:07Philip, they're all in it together.
00:03:16BELL TOLLS
00:03:29BELL RINGS
00:03:36Good.
00:03:37Well done, boys.
00:03:39Good time.
00:03:46BELL RINGS
00:04:11BELL RINGS
00:04:16BELL RINGS
00:04:24Are you all right? Fine, fine. I got caught short.
00:04:31All present and correct, Dr. Bartlett.
00:04:33Thank you, Donald.
00:04:35Not bad.
00:04:3615 seconds outside our record.
00:04:39Everybody inside, please.
00:04:41Would you mind if I skipped your usual homily on safety and security?
00:04:45I've got to get down to the press.
00:04:47I think that the deputy secretary should be there, Philip, if you don't mind.
00:04:55Well, if there's nothing important, Lewis, I might as well stay home,
00:04:58catch up on the paperwork.
00:05:01Oh, yes, yes, lots of it.
00:05:05Yes, well, all right, you know where I am.
00:05:07Cheers.
00:05:08Thanks.
00:05:15BELL RINGS
00:05:31Bloody deedless.
00:05:45BELL RINGS
00:06:15BELL RINGS
00:06:46OK.
00:06:57Hello.
00:06:58What's this?
00:06:59Dean of Lonsdale travelling second class?
00:07:02Oh, Rupert, you.
00:07:03My publisher wants to see me. He has to stump up a first-class return.
00:07:07There's money in physics, no doubt.
00:07:09Chemistry, actually.
00:07:10Oh, really?
00:07:11There's none in paleontology, alas.
00:07:13What did you make at the party the other night?
00:07:15I was very satisfied.
00:07:16The Sheikh was delighted with the syndicate in every way.
00:07:19Just on my way over there now, actually.
00:07:21Give some bump to Bartlett.
00:07:23Can I give you a lift in my taxi?
00:07:24No, thank you.
00:07:25As a syndicate, I do think our president should travel in proper style.
00:07:29I always walk to college, Rupert.
00:07:32BELL RINGS
00:07:38Looks like rain.
00:07:39I have my umbrella.
00:07:43For an examination, syndicate, please.
00:08:13BELL RINGS
00:08:44BELL RINGS
00:08:53Hello, nuts.
00:08:54Dr Bartlett in?
00:08:55No, sir, he'd gone to Banbury.
00:08:57Won't be back till gone five.
00:08:59Right.
00:09:00Well, I'll have a word with one of the others.
00:09:02I don't think there's anyone else here, sir.
00:09:04Except Mr Quinn.
00:09:06Have to be him, then.
00:09:14DOOR OPENS
00:09:26Not there.
00:09:28No.
00:09:29Must be somewhere, sir. Car's still out the back.
00:09:32Dear, oh, dear.
00:09:33A secretary wouldn't like that.
00:09:35Not supposed to leave his office with a filing cabinet open.
00:09:38Not never.
00:09:39Dear me.
00:09:40All sorts come in here.
00:09:41You'd be surprised. We can't be too careful.
00:09:43Indeed not.
00:09:44Well, I can't wait.
00:09:47I only came to leave some papers for Dr Bartlett.
00:09:50It's not important. I'll leave them on his desk.
00:09:53DOOR OPENS
00:10:08I was just going to make a cup of tea, sir, if you'd like one.
00:10:11No, thank you. I must be off.
00:10:14Thanks all the same.
00:10:19DOOR CLOSES
00:10:23Shall I call your cab, sir?
00:10:25No, I'll be all right. Cheerio.

00:11:54Hello, boss.
00:11:56What?
00:11:57What the bloody hell?
00:12:00Oh.
00:12:02Oh. Well, where are you?
00:12:05All right, I'll meet you there.
00:12:07RADIO CHATTER
00:12:09Excuse me, sir. Here comes the chief inspector.
00:12:19RADIO CHATTER
00:12:26Who is it, Lewis?
00:12:27A chap called Quincy.
00:12:29He's been dead a good while, by the look of him.
00:12:31Works for the Foreign Examination Syndicate.
00:12:35Worked.
00:12:36Sir?
00:12:37Worked, Lewis. He's dead, isn't he?
00:12:43That's players.
00:12:44They do themselves all right, these academics, don't they?
00:12:47Yeah.
00:12:48Dead.
00:12:52Is Max here?
00:12:54Looking at him now, sir.
00:13:17Don't dread yourself, Morse.
00:13:19He went quick enough.
00:13:22Take a whiff of that.
00:13:27Cyanide?
00:13:28Well done, Morse. You're coming on.
00:13:31How long's he been dead, Max?
00:13:33Dunno. Four or five days.
00:13:35Did it Friday night, Saturday morning.
00:13:37I'm to guess.
00:13:39Shall know more accurately when we've been through the stomach.
00:13:44Anything?
00:13:45Nah, just his prints all over the place.
00:13:48What about on that bottle?
00:13:50They look the same as all the others.
00:13:52Is it all right if I move the body now, sir?
00:13:56Better go through the pockets.
00:13:58You do that, Max, will you?
00:13:59Getting squeamish, Morse.
00:14:02Oh, by the way.
00:14:06You ought a hearing aid.
00:14:08You ought a hearing aid.
00:14:13History.
00:14:15What is history, I wonder.
00:14:27A note from his cleaning lady.
00:14:29Might help us establish the time of death.
00:14:34Nothing much here.
00:14:35All right, take him away.
00:14:37All right.
00:14:57Shut the door, Lewis.
00:15:03There's no draft under that door.
00:15:07Bit of one, yeah.
00:15:08That's funny.
00:15:10If I sat in this room, I wouldn't sit in a draft, would you?
00:15:22What's this?
00:15:23It's shopping.
00:15:24Is there a bill?
00:15:29We might be able to establish some sort of time from that, Lewis.
00:15:33Oh, and we'd better have a list of all the food in the house.
00:15:36Bridge, larder, cupboards.
00:15:38Everything.
00:15:45Who's this bloke who found him?
00:15:47Er, Mr. Martlinson.
00:15:49One of his chums from the foreign water.
00:15:51Chums, Lewis? You know Morse's law.
00:15:53There's always a 50-50 chance that the man who found the body did the deed.
00:15:57Well, I was going to arrest him on the spot, sir,
00:15:59but I thought I'd let you have the pleasure.
00:16:03You'd better check these pockets, too.
00:16:13MANGO 1-7, go to 7.
00:16:17ROGER 1-7, stand by.
00:16:23Mr. Martin, Chief Inspector Morse.
00:16:25I do.
00:16:26Mr. Martin, Chief Inspector Morse.
00:16:28I do.
00:16:29Must have been a shock for you.
00:16:30It certainly was.
00:16:32May I ask what brought you out here to see him this morning, sir?
00:16:35Dr. Bartlett sent me.
00:16:36The secretary of the syndicate.
00:16:38My... our boss.
00:16:41Quinn didn't turn up for work yesterday, you see,
00:16:43and he didn't turn up this morning, either.
00:16:45Why was no one bothered yesterday?
00:16:47Oh, well, Dr. Bartlett doesn't insist on office hours,
00:16:51as long as we get our work done on time, you know.
00:16:54And what did you expect to find, sir?
00:16:56I didn't expect to find anything.
00:16:58I mean, I don't know.
00:17:02Suppose I thought he must be ill or something.
00:17:05And when I looked through the gap in the curtains
00:17:08and saw him lying there...
00:17:10Yes.
00:17:11Well, thank you very much.
00:17:13I expect you want to report back to the syndicate.
00:17:16You mean I can go now?
00:17:17Oh, yes, yes.
00:17:18Thank you for your help.
00:17:20Is that your car there?
00:17:22Yes.
00:17:24You don't happen to know if Mr. Quinn had a girlfriend, do you?
00:17:27No idea. I didn't know him that well.
00:17:29He's... he's only been with us three months.
00:17:33No one he fancied in the office?
00:17:35Not that I know of.
00:17:37But he was a bachelor, I take it?
00:17:39Oh, yes.
00:17:40Are you a married man, sir?
00:17:42Yes.
00:17:43Then I expect you've forgotten what it's like to be single.
00:17:48What do you mean?
00:17:49Nothing, nothing.
00:17:51Oh, I see.
00:17:53You're looking for a reason.
00:17:55A reason, sir?
00:17:56Why he should want to do himself in.
00:17:58Oh, it wasn't suicide, sir.
00:18:00No, no, no, no. It was murder.
00:18:02Definitely murder.
00:18:07So what are these examinations you run, sir?
00:18:10O-Levels and A-Levels, the usual thing.
00:18:12But for students in foreign countries, you see.
00:18:15Well, don't these foreign countries have their own examination board?
00:18:18Well, the large developed ones, yes, but there are many places.
00:18:21And you'd be surprised how many, Inspector.
00:18:23We're just still grateful for the expertise and the status that Oxford can offer.
00:18:27Oh, so you're a service industry, are you, sir?
00:18:31We're a very great service, if that's what you mean, Inspector.
00:18:36Examinations are a matter of life and...
00:18:39No, you see, in some parts of the world, passing our exams is the only way forward.
00:18:43They can make the difference between abject poverty and extreme wealth.
00:18:47So, you see, we take our responsibilities here with the utmost seriousness.
00:18:52Indeed so, sir.
00:18:53Let me show you what I mean.
00:18:56Question papers alone go through at least five stages.
00:19:02For instance, next December's biology papers.
00:19:09First draft, second draft, first proofs, first revises, second revises.
00:19:16Everything is checked and double-checked for absolute fairness.
00:19:20Our syndics keep a very close eye on us.
00:19:22Syndics?
00:19:23Our board of governors, you might say.
00:19:25All distinguished members of the university.
00:19:28So, you see, we have to have absolute security at every stage.
00:19:31If even one draft question were to go astray,
00:19:34the integrity of the whole syndicate would be completely undermined.
00:19:37I had no idea.
00:19:40You'll find, I'm sure, during the course of your investigations,
00:19:43that I've got something of a reputation as a stickler for security in all its aspects.
00:19:47Fire and theft.
00:19:49But I'm fairly sure it was at the fire drill last Friday
00:19:53that I last saw poor Nicholas Quinn.
00:19:58Yes, he was certainly there.
00:20:00He kicked his name off on the list, look.
00:20:03How well did you know him, sir?
00:20:05Not as well as I should have liked, really.
00:20:08Of course, he hadn't been here long.
00:20:10His deafness did make things rather difficult.
00:20:12How deaf was he?
00:20:13The prognosis was he would have been completely so in five years.
00:20:17Rather a curious appointment, then, wasn't it?
00:20:19Well, you know, apart from the telephone, you could hardly tell.
00:20:23He coped amazingly.
00:20:25At work, that is. I know very little about his social life.
00:20:29And you last saw him?
00:20:31Ah, well, it must have been at the fire drill.
00:20:34I don't think I saw him after that.
00:20:36No, I had a meeting in Banbury of secondary school headmasters.
00:20:39And what time did you leave the office?
00:20:41I left as soon as the fire drill was over.
00:20:44I had to get down to the press.
00:20:46And what time was that, would you say, sir?
00:20:50Well, the drill was at 12.
00:20:53By the time Bartlett had given us his usual address,
00:20:56it was 15, 20 minutes past.
00:20:59And you didn't see Mr Quinn again?
00:21:01Alas, not.
00:21:03Oh, hello, darling, you are home. Good.
00:21:05Listen, really?
00:21:07Oh, Lord.
00:21:09Listen, Sally, I'm going to be a bit late, I'm afraid.
00:21:12Well, I'm still at the syndicate.
00:21:14Oh, not very long, I hope.
00:21:17No.
00:21:19All right, darling, I just didn't want you to worry, that's all.
00:21:22Bye.
00:21:25Not that she would worry, I'm sure, but...
00:21:28How old is your daughter, Mrs Heiter?
00:21:3016. Really?
00:21:32I married young, Inspector.
00:21:34Much too young, if that's anything to do with your enquiries.
00:21:37Well, background information can always be useful.
00:21:42What age did you marry, then?
00:21:44I didn't.
00:21:46Very wise?
00:21:48I don't always think so.
00:21:50Take my word for it.
00:21:52Mr Quinn was wise then.
00:21:54He never married.
00:21:56No.
00:21:58Did he, er...
00:22:00Did he ever raise the issue with you?
00:22:02Good heavens, no.
00:22:04We didn't know each other very well.
00:22:06He hadn't been here long.
00:22:08Did he never ask you out, then?
00:22:11No.
00:22:13Well, we did go to the pub together once or twice.
00:22:16For lunch, you know. Which pub?
00:22:18Horse and Trumpet, up the road.
00:22:20So, you quite liked him, then?
00:22:23Well, he was a colleague, you know.
00:22:25Not a close friend.
00:22:27And you last saw him at the fire drill?
00:22:31I think so.
00:22:33It's ridiculous.
00:22:35Only five days ago, but I can't seem to fix it, when and where.
00:22:39You can't have him like that when you've had a shock.
00:22:41Can it?
00:22:43Can you at least remember what he had to drink?
00:22:45Cherry. Medium, I think.
00:22:48Well, that's better than the stuff that passes for ale in there, anyway.
00:22:51Well, that I wouldn't know.
00:22:53I don't drink much at the best of times, and never at lunch.
00:22:56But I like to be in complete command of myself when I'm working, Inspector.
00:23:00Really?
00:23:02I like to let go. I always drink at lunchtime.
00:23:05It helps my imagination.
00:23:13I'm sorry.
00:23:15It's the shock, sir. The leg shock.
00:23:18Is it?
00:23:20You know, I'm not sure I saw Quinn last Friday at all.
00:23:23I just can't remember.
00:23:25Well, we'll leave it for now, then, sir.
00:23:29If it does come back to you.
00:23:31Of course.
00:23:47Good night.
00:23:49Good night, madam.
00:23:50Good night.
00:23:53Some people get all the perks.
00:23:56Very interesting woman. Very, um...
00:23:59Very...
00:24:01Self-possessed.
00:24:03Get anything out of her?
00:24:05He liked cherry.
00:24:07You knew that.
00:24:08No, no, no. We only thought we knew it.
00:24:10Chief Inspector, the keys you wanted to Quinn's office and his filing cabinets.
00:24:15Thank you.
00:24:16Now, you will remember that the material in those cabinets is strictly confidential.
00:24:20Oh, yes, yes. Don't worry, sir. I got my A-levels 30 years ago.
00:24:24And you will remember to lock everything after you...
00:24:28Oh, yes. We will, won't we, Lewis?
00:24:30Yes, sir.
00:24:31Well, good night, gentlemen.
00:24:33Good night, sir.
00:24:38Thank God for that. Come on, we've got work to do.
00:24:50Anything interesting?
00:24:52Don't think so.
00:24:55It's predecessors' stuff, mostly.
00:24:59A bloke called Bland.
00:25:01Bland.
00:25:03Good name for a villain, Bland.
00:25:12So that explains it.
00:25:14What?
00:25:15You went for lip-reading classes.
00:25:18Eddington Tech.
00:25:20That's what explains this.
00:25:22What?
00:25:23Couldn't get this drawer open properly.
00:25:27What does A-E-D stand for?
00:25:30Al-Jamara Education Department.
00:25:33How the hell do you know that?
00:25:36Do a lot of business with Al-Jamara, whatever that may be.
00:25:41It's the Gulf, Lewis, the Gulf.
00:25:45Wait a minute. What the hell's going on here?
00:25:48What?
00:25:51This letter, Lewis, this strictly private and confidential letter
00:25:56about the perfectly ordinary dispatch of entry forms for exams
00:26:00was stated in May the 3rd this year, isn't it?
00:26:03Yeah.
00:26:05Why does it say they have to be in by Friday the 20th?
00:26:08Friday was the 21st, Lewis.
00:26:12Made a mistake about the date, I expect.
00:26:14No, he didn't.
00:26:17All entry forms and fee forms should be ready for the final dispatch
00:26:21to the syndicate by Friday the 20th
00:26:23or, at the very latest, I'm told, by the 21st.
00:26:27Fat chance.
00:26:29Academics working on a Saturday?
00:26:31In bloody Arabia?
00:26:32You read that carefully and you'll see.
00:26:34I said it was murder. Well, I was bloody well right.
00:26:39It's schoolboy simple, Lewis.
00:26:41It's an acrostic.
00:26:43Read the words down instead of across.
00:26:46Dear greetings letter all for...
00:26:49End of the lines, not the beginning.
00:26:52George, your package ready Friday 21st.
00:26:57You see?
00:26:58Room three after lunch. Good God!
00:27:01Now, that was private and confidential.
00:27:03Ah, but Quinn wasn't called George.
00:27:05But Bland was. Bland is.
00:27:07But he didn't clear out his cabinet properly before he went off to Algemara.
00:27:11Yes, Mr George Bland is a villain, you see.
00:27:14The careless, Lewis. Careless.
00:27:22All the same.
00:27:23All the same what?
00:27:25Even if something fishy was going on.
00:27:27If? If?
00:27:28We don't know that Quinn knew anything about it.
00:27:30Then why was he murdered?
00:27:32We don't know that he was murdered.
00:27:34Cyanide, it's what people do to take for suicide.
00:27:37If they can get a hold of it. It's quick. It's...
00:27:40It's what we're supposed to think, Lewis.
00:27:42That's why we don't think it.
00:27:44You know where the drinks are. Pour us a couple of sherrys.
00:28:12Do you mind if I have a beer, sir?
00:28:14If you ever want to reach the dizzy heights of Inspector, Lewis, you learn to do as you're told.
00:28:18Sherry.
00:28:41Nice place, this.
00:28:42Glad you like it.
00:28:44Cheers.
00:28:45Cheers.
00:28:48Yeah, I wish I had time to read books.
00:28:50You haven't. You're dead.
00:28:52What?
00:28:53I put cyanide in the sherry.
00:28:56Oh, well then you're dead too.
00:28:58No, I'm not. I haven't touched mine.
00:29:01Oh God, and then my print's on the bottle.
00:29:04And all I have to do is pour the sherry down the sink, wash the glass, put it back in the cupboard and...
00:29:09Suicide.
00:29:10Suicide.
00:29:11Exactly.
00:29:13Someone's still got to get in to poison the bottle.
00:29:15Not necessarily. Whoever it was could have given Quinn the bottle as a present.
00:29:19You don't give people open bottles, though, do you?
00:29:21And you couldn't reseal a bottle of sherry.
00:29:23Well, I couldn't anyway.
00:29:28Oh, I can't think of this stuff.
00:29:31Let's go and have a proper drink, shall we?
00:29:41That's fine.
00:29:43There you go. That'll be 1.98.
00:30:02I want to know what Quinn's colleagues were doing on Friday afternoon.
00:30:05All right.
00:30:06But I want them to know I want to know.
00:30:08But if you do that...
00:30:09They'll all have their stories ready, precisely.
00:30:11Let's see what they cook up.
00:30:20All right, so whoever killed Quinn will have a pretty good alibi for last Friday.
00:30:24That should help, I admit.
00:30:25If Quinn was killed on Friday.
00:30:28Wasn't he?
00:30:29I don't know. Do you?
00:30:31Come on, drink up, Lewis. We've got thinking to do.
00:30:39Sir!
00:30:40Sir, you can't park there, sir!
00:30:43That's Dr Bartlett's space.
00:30:45Well, I'm sure he won't mind.
00:30:46Oh, he will. He gets very upset...
00:30:48But where the hell can I park?
00:30:50Well, you can have Mr Quinn's space, I suppose.
00:30:53He won't be wanting it, will he?
00:30:55When did you get here?
00:30:56Oh, I'm sorry, sir.
00:30:57I'm sorry, sir.
00:30:58I'm sorry, sir.
00:30:59I'm sorry, sir.
00:31:00I'm sorry, sir.
00:31:01I'm sorry, sir.
00:31:02I'm sorry, sir.
00:31:03I'm sorry, sir.
00:31:04I'm sorry, sir.
00:31:05I'm sorry, sir.
00:31:06He won't be wanting it, will he?
00:31:08When did you last see Mr Quinn?
00:31:10Ten to five last Friday, sir.
00:31:12What?
00:31:13I watched him back his car out of the space there and drive off home.
00:31:17Are you sure? Couldn't it have been someone else?
00:31:19No, no, I know all the cars.
00:31:21Anyway, Mr Quinn's was the only one there that afternoon.
00:31:24Really?
00:31:25Yes, sir.
00:31:26I said to Mr Root...
00:31:27Who?
00:31:28Mr Root, one of the syndics.
00:31:30He came over looking for Dr Bartlett.
00:31:32He'd got some papers for him.
00:31:33But of course, Dr Bartlett was over to Banbury.
00:31:35So we looked in all the other offices, but there wasn't no one in.
00:31:38But you said Quinn was here.
00:31:39Oh, he was, sir.
00:31:40I don't know where mine, but he must have been somewhere because his coat was there.
00:31:44What sort of coat?
00:31:45That old anorak of his.
00:31:46Always wore it when it was, like, wet, you know, and it was wet Friday.
00:31:50But why I know he was here was he left one of his filing cabinets open.
00:31:55Now, they're not supposed to do that at staff, not for a minute.
00:31:57Dr Bartlett's very particular about them cabinets.
00:32:00Well, why would he have done it, then?
00:32:01Just stepped down the hall, I suppose, sir.
00:32:03Call of nature.
00:32:04Very interesting, Lewis.
00:32:05The only member of staff here last Friday afternoon was Quinn himself.
00:32:09He was?
00:32:10Oh, yes.
00:32:11He backed his car out of his space there.
00:32:16I was over there in my, well, I call it my cubbyhole, see?
00:32:20But Dr Bartlett, he...
00:32:22Quinn was here till ten to five.
00:32:26It's a good start, anyway.
00:32:27Yes.
00:32:28Come on.
00:32:34Let's go.
00:33:05Not good for the brain cells.
00:33:07Brewer's swipes and added carbon dioxide?
00:33:10No.
00:33:11What can I get you to drink?
00:33:13It is after working hours.
00:33:15Cinzano and soda, please.
00:33:17You sure?
00:33:18Positive.
00:33:19Lots of soda.
00:33:20Cinzano and soda, please.
00:33:22Ice, ma'am?
00:33:23Please.
00:33:24And lots of cinder.
00:33:29I understand you want to know where people were last Friday afternoon.
00:33:33Yes.
00:33:34Yes, I do.
00:33:35I expect you to have found out sooner or later, anyway,
00:33:38but I was with someone.
00:33:40I know.
00:33:42Your place, I presume.
00:33:45There's no such thing as a secret, Mrs Hite.
00:33:48Not that I've ever come across,
00:33:50and didn't need too much beer to tell me that if he's a married man
00:33:54and your daughter's at school...
00:33:56Congratulations.
00:33:57I suppose Donald told you.
00:33:59He's ever so proud of having an affair.
00:34:02How long has it been going on, you and Donald?
00:34:05A year, 14 months.
00:34:07Does it really matter?
00:34:09I don't know.
00:34:11Was Quinn jealous?
00:34:13Why do you keep going on about him?
00:34:15He had nothing to do with it.
00:34:19So, you went off at lunchtime, right?
00:34:23Together?
00:34:24Of course not.
00:34:26And you went to your place?
00:34:28Yes.
00:34:29Yes.
00:34:30And he left at, I don't know, four-ish.
00:34:34Sun is usually back by quarter past, so...
00:34:38Why do you have to know all this?
00:34:41I don't know yet. Perhaps I don't.
00:34:44But...
00:34:47That's it.
00:34:48Yes, that's absolutely it.
00:34:56He's not telling the truth.
00:34:58I don't know why and I don't know what about,
00:35:00but she's not telling the truth.
00:35:03Check her out with her boyfriend?
00:35:05Perhaps it's not the whole truth.
00:35:08I do hope this is not going to be one of our sordid cases, Lewis.
00:35:13You must understand that as president of the board of syndics,
00:35:16I shall do everything in my power to see the syndicate is not damaged.
00:35:19Of course, I'm extremely sorry this unfortunate young man
00:35:21should choose to kill himself,
00:35:23but I don't think he did, sir.
00:35:25I remain unpersuaded.
00:35:27In any case, nothing you've said convinces me
00:35:29that his death is in any way connected with the activities of the syndicate as such.
00:35:34How long have you been president, sir?
00:35:36Six years.
00:35:37And would you say that the syndicate's been a happy place all that time?
00:35:41As far as one can judge, certainly very efficient.
00:35:44Made very great progress.
00:35:45No little jealousies or personal animosities?
00:35:49Well, any academic institution, you know.
00:35:53Would you like to give an example, sir?
00:35:55These are internal matters.
00:35:57I don't see what concern they can be to you.
00:35:59No trouble about promotions.
00:36:01That's the sort of thing we get in our job.
00:36:03I hope it will be disappointing when we pass them over in favor of Bartlett, if that's what you mean.
00:36:07If you're suggesting, I might be...
00:36:08I wasn't suggesting anything.
00:36:11What about Mrs. Hite?
00:36:14In the late 20th century, inspector,
00:36:16we're obliged to give women equal status in the academic world.
00:36:21She seemed rather attractive to me.
00:36:25Did Mr. Quinn think so?
00:36:27Quinn? Good God, no, it wasn't.
00:36:41There's no need for all of this to come out, is there?
00:36:45It depends.
00:36:47What time did you say you left her house?
00:36:50About four, I suppose.
00:36:53And you didn't go near the office?
00:36:54No, no. I came straight here.
00:36:58Nice surprise for the wife.
00:37:00I'll be home early.
00:37:03I've only...
00:37:05There's only ever been Monica.
00:37:10You in love with her?
00:37:12Oh, God.
00:37:15I don't know.
00:37:17This business has just about put paid to it anyway.
00:37:25I don't know.
00:37:46You alright, sir?
00:37:47Shhh.
00:37:51Twelve minutes.
00:37:52Not bad.
00:37:53but not bad.
00:37:53What did you say?
00:37:54They weren't at Mrs. Hyde's.
00:37:56Her daughter was there all afternoon
00:37:57revising for O-levels.
00:37:58And she was lying.
00:38:01Why, Lewis, why?
00:38:04What do you make of all this stuff
00:38:05we got from Quinn's pockets?
00:38:07Not a lot.
00:38:08Well, nor me.
00:38:10Wonder if he won the raffle.
00:38:11What about this?
00:38:13Rear lounge, 102, number 93550, cinema ticket.
00:38:17That's funny.
00:38:18Why two lots of numbers on one ticket?
00:38:21Fool.
00:38:22That's not 102, that's half of studio 2, IO 2.
00:38:27Wonder what's on there.
00:38:28Give me the paper.
00:38:31No, not the Times, Lewis, the local paper.
00:38:43Now, this is interesting.
00:38:46You ever seen this?
00:38:47No.
00:38:48Me neither.
00:38:51My doctor says I should lose some weight,
00:38:53stop eating butter, start eating polyunsaturates,
00:38:57whatever they are.
00:38:58Not quite the same, though, is it, Lewis?
00:39:02I can't tell you exactly, but this
00:39:05is one of the first tickets that was
00:39:07issued last Friday afternoon.
00:39:10Doors open, 115, and there's usually
00:39:12half a dozen or so waiting.
00:39:14I'm not surprised.
00:39:15Yes, it's a popular film.
00:39:16We've held it over a second week.
00:39:18Held it over what?
00:39:20Would you like free seats, Inspector?
00:39:22That's very kind of you, but my sergeant's a little too young
00:39:25to say nothing of being a married man.
00:39:27Most of our customers are married.
00:39:30You know, you've just reminded me of something.
00:39:33Now, I don't know if this is of any interest to you,
00:39:36but I was only saying the same thing to a gentleman last week,
00:39:40a detective story writer.
00:39:42He wanted to know about our ticket numbers, too.
00:39:44Well, when was this?
00:39:45Just a minute, I think.
00:39:47Friday or Saturday, I think.
00:39:50What did he look like?
00:39:51I didn't meet him.
00:39:53It was a phone call.
00:39:54What sort of voice?
00:39:56A nice voice.
00:39:58I do remember that.
00:39:59Educated, if you know what I mean.
00:40:01And he didn't give you a name?
00:40:02No.
00:40:03No, he just launched straight into the subject.
00:40:07You know, I'm almost certain it was Friday.
00:40:10There is a lot of story writers living off of it, is there?
00:40:13This isn't a story.
00:40:14It's a bloody murder, Lewis.
00:40:17But who the hell wants to know what we want to know?
00:40:20We do.
00:40:22You didn't get a lot out of Ogilby, did you?
00:40:31Tamnavulin?
00:40:33One of the finest of all malt whiskies, Inspector.
00:40:36Close to Glenn Leavitt.
00:40:38Really?
00:40:40One of the few true pleasures of the bachelor life,
00:40:43as I am sure you have found for yourself,
00:40:46is the opportunity for guiltless self-indulgence.
00:40:51Cheers.
00:40:52Cheers.
00:40:56Very nice.
00:40:58Do you often bring your work home?
00:41:00Oh, that's not work.
00:41:01That's my other secret vice.
00:41:04I set crosswords.
00:41:06Do you?
00:41:07Which paper?
00:41:08Different papers, but always the same name.
00:41:11Daedalus.
00:41:12He built the great maze of Greek legend, you know.
00:41:14You're Daedalus.
00:41:16I've been wrestling with you for years.
00:41:18Really?
00:41:19Yes, and a right sod you are, too, sometimes.
00:41:22I wouldn't spend a whole day on one of your five downs.
00:41:25Well, I do try to be just a little bit cleverer
00:41:27than the solver, you see.
00:41:30I always try to make five down just a little tricky.
00:41:36Who told you I wasn't married?
00:41:38Mrs. Hite?
00:41:39No.
00:41:40But what an attractive woman, don't you think?
00:41:43If I wasn't as comfortable as I am.
00:41:47But a woman would get in the way of my work.
00:41:49That's my excuse.
00:41:51What's yours?
00:41:52No woman would put up with me.
00:41:54I play my records too loud.
00:41:55You could get her earplugs.
00:41:58Who did tell you?
00:41:59I looked you up.
00:42:01No need to chercher la femme.
00:42:03I like to do my own legwork.
00:42:06Did you think I might ask some awkward questions, then?
00:42:09No.
00:42:10My conscience is clear.
00:42:12I wanted to see who you were, if you were up to the job.
00:42:17Now that I know you do my crosswords reports,
00:42:20how can I help you?
00:42:23I want to know how to cheat the system,
00:42:26how to nobble the exams without getting caught.
00:42:29Not easy.
00:42:32We keep exact records of how each school does year by year.
00:42:36If the average suddenly changes, well.
00:42:40Crooked examiners?
00:42:42No.
00:42:43Everything's checked by randomly chosen second examiners.
00:42:47Well, that might work in England, but abroad...
00:42:50We have our own foreign centres and our own supervisors.
00:42:56Like Mr George Bland, you mean.
00:42:58Quinn's predecessor.
00:42:59An ideal man.
00:43:01All the right connections, here and in the Middle East.
00:43:04Connections for what?
00:43:06For overseeing examinations.
00:43:10What did you think I meant?
00:43:12What if he were crooked?
00:43:14Oh, well.
00:43:15If the man at the top in any organisation falls by the wayside...
00:43:19He could leak the exams in advance.
00:43:23Only to one or two people at the most.
00:43:26Or we'd catch him at once.
00:43:28They would have to be made very much worth his while.
00:43:31And who could afford to do that?
00:43:34Got any suspicions, sir?
00:43:37Of what?
00:43:38Someone cheating.
00:43:40Suspicions of cheating?
00:43:42No.
00:43:44Well.
00:43:49Just what did you do after you left the university press last Friday, sir?
00:43:54I went back to the office.
00:43:56I got there about half past three.
00:43:58And left?
00:43:59About five.
00:44:01You quite sure about that?
00:44:02Absolutely.
00:44:03As I understand it, the only person there that afternoon was Mr Quinn.
00:44:07Then you understand wrong.
00:44:09I was in the syndicate building till after five o'clock.
00:44:12Another ten nevels.
00:44:17I find malt whiskey helps me think.
00:44:27Excuse me, I'm looking for Mr Rooks.
00:44:29Oh, yes.
00:44:30Just look for the archer.
00:44:32And it's just up the road.
00:44:33Thanks.
00:44:37Come on.
00:45:07I'm sorry, I was looking for Mr Roop.
00:45:19Inspector Morse.
00:45:20I am Roop.
00:45:21Come in.
00:45:22It's not just a policeman getting younger, you know.
00:45:26Sorry I have no beer.
00:45:31Oh, that's all right, sir.
00:45:35Awful business, this.
00:45:37Of course, I hardly knew the chap.
00:45:40You are sure it wasn't suicide?
00:45:43Oh, yes.
00:45:44I thought he might be, well, the suicidal type.
00:45:51Very lonely being deaf.
00:45:53Must be.
00:45:54Right.
00:45:55Well, you want to know my movements.
00:46:01I took the 8-5 to Paddington.
00:46:03Got to my publishers before they did.
00:46:05New books, huh?
00:46:06My magnum opus, Industrial Chemistry.
00:46:10Roused them up a bit.
00:46:11Then I went to the National Portrait Gallery for illustrations.
00:46:15Famous chemists and so on.
00:46:17Then I had some lunch.
00:46:18Took the 3-7 back here.
00:46:21I took a taxi to the syndicate.
00:46:22I got there about 4.30.
00:46:25There's no one about, only Noakes.
00:46:27So I left some papers I had for Bartlett on his desk and I came home.
00:46:32You didn't see anyone else there?
00:46:34Only Noakes.
00:46:35I looked in all the rooms.
00:46:37He did too.
00:46:38You didn't see Mr. Martin or Mr. Ogilby?
00:46:40No.
00:46:41Quinn was around somewhere, we decided, but we didn't actually see him.
00:46:46He left a filing cabinet open.
00:46:49Bartlett would have given him hell for that.
00:46:51Bit of a sod, you know, Bartlett.
00:46:53Very conscientious, I believe.
00:46:57Could call it that.
00:46:59Don't you like him, sir?
00:47:00Not much.
00:47:01Bartlett didn't want Quinn, you know.
00:47:04Thought his deafness would be a handicap.
00:47:07I'm all for positive discrimination.
00:47:10I pushed him through.
00:47:13Now of course, I'm quite certain it wasn't suicide.
00:47:21Poor chap.
00:48:03Could I...
00:48:15Could we leave this until Inspector Morse gets here, Sergeant?
00:48:18Well, he's asked me to conduct this interview.
00:48:21All right.
00:48:24So you've talked to my daughter?
00:48:26Yes, ma'am.
00:48:30So where were you?
00:48:35I lied to you, Inspector, because it...
00:48:38Well, I was ashamed, if you really want to know.
00:48:42We were in a lay-by on the Banbury Road.
00:48:45Really?
00:48:46I didn't know Studio Two was out that way.
00:48:52Shall we have the truth now, Mrs. Hite?
00:48:58I'm sorry.
00:48:59It's just so...
00:49:00So...
00:49:01So very...
00:49:02So very sordid, carrying on in a pornographic cinema.
00:49:10But you had some idea.
00:49:11Well, I tried to ignore it.
00:49:13Well, yes, but that's where they were.
00:49:15But what you say about bland, Inspector, now that truly appalls me.
00:49:19Moist to say?
00:49:21Which recording is that?
00:49:22I'm afraid I wouldn't know.
00:49:24It's my son, Richard, who's the Wagnerian.
00:49:31Richard!
00:49:35Richard!
00:49:39There has to be someone this end, obviously.
00:49:59I can't believe that anyone...
00:50:01Someone passing the stuff on to bland.
00:50:04It can't be Martin.
00:50:06He's too wet, and he's too busy with Monica, and not her.
00:50:13It has to be Ogilby.
00:50:14I can't believe.
00:50:18Man not getting any younger, passed over in favour of you,
00:50:22wants to make a bit of cash before it's too late,
00:50:25and take a little sweet revenge.
00:50:27God, he practically confessed to me.
00:50:31Hello.
00:50:32Who?
00:50:33What?
00:50:34Oh, yes, right, right.
00:50:35I'll fetch him.
00:50:36Well, Quinn didn't think it was Ogilby.
00:50:37What?
00:50:38Excuse me, you're wanted on the telephone, Inspector.
00:50:39Thank you.
00:50:40What did you say?
00:50:41He ran away.
00:50:42He ran away?
00:50:43Yes.
00:50:44He ran away?
00:50:45Yes.
00:50:46He ran away?
00:50:47Yes.
00:50:48He ran away?
00:50:49Yes.
00:50:50He ran away?
00:50:51Yes.
00:50:52He ran away?
00:50:53Yes.
00:50:54He ran away?
00:50:55Yes.
00:50:56He ran away?
00:50:57Yes.
00:50:58He ran away?
00:50:59Yes.
00:51:00He ran away?
00:51:01Yes.
00:51:02What did you say?
00:51:03He rang me on the Thursday night.
00:51:05I thought he was drunk.
00:51:07He had some wild story.
00:51:08What I thought was a wild story.
00:51:10He accused me of selling our exams to the Sheikh of Al-Jamarah.
00:51:14Richard!
00:51:15I'm terribly sorry, darling.
00:51:16Richard.
00:51:17Richard.
00:51:18Richard.
00:51:19Richard.
00:51:20Richard.
00:51:21Richard.
00:51:22Richard.
00:51:23Richard.
00:51:24Richard.
00:51:25Richard.
00:51:26Richard.
00:51:27Richard.
00:51:28Richard.
00:51:29Richard.
00:51:30Richard.
00:51:31Richard.
00:51:32Richard!
00:51:51Richard.
00:51:52Well, he suffers.
00:51:53It says balance.
00:51:55It says emotional balance.
00:51:57A fellow takes that call.
00:51:59It's in the hall.
00:52:01Thank you.
00:52:08Morse here.
00:52:09Oh, Lewis, yes.
00:52:12What?
00:52:31Police radio chatter.
00:52:56Lewis Tosman, this is your prime suspect, Morse.
00:52:59Seems someone got your man.
00:53:01As usual.
00:53:14When do you think they'll let me see Monica Hytes?
00:53:16I don't know.
00:53:18Not before tomorrow morning.
00:53:19Hell.
00:53:20She's in deep shock, Morse.
00:53:22And no bloody wonder.
00:53:24What was she doing here?
00:53:26I don't know.
00:53:27How did she get in?
00:53:30Looks like it was someone he knew.
00:53:33Her?
00:53:37Sir.
00:53:38Look, I'm in shock too.
00:53:42Have one yourself.
00:53:44His heirs will forgive you.
00:53:46No, thanks.
00:53:53Of course, it doesn't mean he didn't kill Quinn.
00:53:55No?
00:53:56We've been supposing there's only one villain here at the syndicate.
00:53:59Passing on exam secrets to Bland and Aljamara for sale to whoever.
00:54:05But maybe they were all in it.
00:54:06All except Quinn, of course, the new boy.
00:54:09He found out.
00:54:11Accused Bartlett of being part of it.
00:54:13Did he?
00:54:14Yes, yes.
00:54:15Thing is, who else did he tell?
00:54:18Ogilby, perhaps.
00:54:20Ogilby takes action.
00:54:21And why is Ogilby dead now, then?
00:54:25See, according to Morse's law, sir, there's a 50% chance Mrs. Hyde did him in.
00:54:30Shut up, Lewis.
00:54:32Look at this.
00:54:34Gleister and Rintel.
00:54:36Poisoner's Bible.
00:54:38Medical jurisprudence and toxicology to use, if you want to make Inspector.
00:54:44Good grief, he's even marked the page.
00:54:46Cyanide.
00:54:47So he did kill Nicholas Quinn.
00:54:50Or did he?
00:54:52Did he?
00:54:56How could he have done?
00:54:58He set the best crosswords in England.
00:55:00I emptied his pockets for you, Morse, knowing your sensitivity.
00:55:27Oh, by the way, your friend was murdered.
00:55:30He was killed by a blow of considerable force, probably administered by a right-handed man.
00:55:35The central impact being approximately five centimetres above the occipital bone and two to the right of the parietal pyramid.
00:55:42That should give you something to go on.
00:55:43By any chance?
00:55:45I said probably.
00:55:47Good night, Morse.
00:55:48Good night, Lewis.
00:55:49Good night, sir.
00:55:55Oh, this looks not much help.
00:55:57Look at this, sir.
00:56:01That's Quinn's cinema ticket.
00:56:03Why on earth should he want to draw that?
00:56:06If it is his ticket, what was the number?
00:56:0993550.
00:56:12I don't understand.
00:56:15No human action happens by pure chance, unconnected with other happenings.
00:56:20And none is incapable of explanation.
00:56:25Dr Hans Gross, Professor of Criminology, University of Prague.
00:56:29All right, so you know my favourite quotations.
00:56:31Now, how about some explanation?
00:56:34And you're absolutely two murders and a very nasty case of bribery and corruption.
00:56:40Isn't there anything we could...
00:56:45That's the end of the syndicate.
00:56:47You had a party, I understand, for the shake of Algemara.
00:56:52What? Oh, yes.
00:56:54Algemara was our pride and joy.
00:56:56Was there anything at that party, anything at all, which now strikes you as relevant?
00:57:02No, I don't think so.
00:57:04Except, now I come to think of it, I did see Quinn and Ogilvy leaving together.
00:57:11Do you realise, if you'd told me this before, Ogilvy might still be alive.
00:57:17You didn't ask me.
00:57:18I didn't know.
00:57:20You should have told me of your suspicions.
00:57:22I tried to.
00:57:23You didn't want to hear.
00:57:25No alibi, whatever.
00:57:28I didn't even dine in hall.
00:57:30I worked on proofs all evening and had an Indian meal at about 11 o'clock.
00:57:34Sorry.
00:57:35No trouble, sir.
00:57:37Not to me.
00:57:55Morning.
00:58:06Not too long now, she's still very shaky.
00:58:08Right.
00:58:15Hello.
00:58:16Hello.
00:58:18Are you feeling any better?
00:58:19A bit.
00:58:21I keep seeing...
00:58:22I know, it's awful, terrible.
00:58:25I know.
00:58:26Yes.
00:58:48Would you like me to give you a hand? It's quite difficult today.
00:58:54Yes.
00:58:5613 across held me up for quite some time.
00:58:59Three minutes.
00:59:04Are you good at crosswords?
00:59:06Not bad.
00:59:08I like all sorts of puzzles.
00:59:10Brain teasers.
00:59:12Anything where you have to use your logic.
00:59:15My weakness is guesswork.
00:59:17I leap to conclusions.
00:59:19Sometimes.
00:59:21Usually wrong.
00:59:27You want to know what I was doing at Philip Ogilvy's?
00:59:31If you don't mind.
00:59:34I was coming to cook his dinner.
00:59:39Ah.
00:59:40You thought he was the complete bachelor.
00:59:43Well, he was.
00:59:44But the old-fashioned sort.
00:59:46He couldn't boil an egg.
00:59:48I expect he could, but...
00:59:51You had a key.
00:59:54Yes.
00:59:56How long had this been going on?
00:59:58Oh, since his old cleaning lady left.
01:00:00She used to leave food for him to warm up.
01:00:02But the new one.
01:00:06I'm sorry, but...
01:00:08Was that all there was to it?
01:00:10No, of course not.
01:00:12He was my greatest friend in Oxford.
01:00:15The only person I could talk to about...
01:00:18About...
01:00:19Donald Martin.
01:00:21About my life.
01:00:23About life.
01:00:26He was...
01:00:32I can't tell you how much I'm going to miss him.
01:00:37Any idea who or why?
01:00:43Just one more question.
01:00:44When you and Donald Martin went to the cinema last Friday,
01:00:47did you see Ogilvy there?
01:00:49No.
01:00:50No one came in while you were there?
01:00:53Not that I recognised.
01:00:57All right.
01:01:01I've done most of the difficult ones for you.
01:01:04Thanks.
01:01:05And thanks for coming.
01:01:07I've...
01:01:09I've been so frightened.
01:01:10I keep thinking,
01:01:11suppose the man,
01:01:13whoever did it,
01:01:14suppose he was still in the house.
01:01:16I...
01:01:19What would have happened to Sal?
01:01:22Judy.
01:01:24What would have happened?
01:01:32Oh.
01:01:51Ah, Mr Martin.
01:01:52Just the man I want to see.
01:01:54Oh, I was just going to see...
01:01:55No, she's not seeing any more visitors for a while.
01:01:58What? Who said?
01:01:59I did.
01:02:00Can I give you a lift somewhere?
01:02:02Look, I was told...
01:02:03You were told wrong.
01:02:04My car's over here.
01:02:13So you really do love her?
01:02:16Yes.
01:02:18And does she love you?
01:02:19How would I know?
01:02:21Not knowing is half the attraction, Inspector.
01:02:24Lest you'd realise if you've ever been in love.
01:02:30Yes, it's all that...
01:02:32well, keeps it on the boil.
01:02:34People fall in love with what they can't have.
01:02:37Don't they teach you that much in the CID?
01:02:40They teach us enough, Mr Martin.
01:02:43Does your wife know about the affair?
01:02:45No.
01:02:46At least, I don't think so.
01:02:48I'm fairly sure not.
01:02:50Sure, or only fairly sure?
01:02:53No man is absolutely sure of his wife, Inspector.
01:02:56As you'd know, if you were married.
01:03:00Why did you lie about last Friday?
01:03:03Monica thought it sounded less sordid.
01:03:06So you were at that film?
01:03:07Oh, yes.
01:03:09See anyone you knew there?
01:03:11No.
01:03:13Sure, or only fairly sure?
01:03:15Absolutely certain.
01:03:19All right, you can see enough.
01:03:21Oh, thanks.
01:03:23Thanks a lot.
01:03:44They were there, all right.
01:03:45But they saw someone, and they're not saying who.
01:03:47Saying who?
01:03:48Quinn?
01:03:49That's the obvious solution, yes.
01:03:51I wonder if he knew about it.
01:03:53He was the one that phoned the manager, asked for information, if you ask me.
01:03:56Where did he get to see and copy Quinn's ticket, and when?
01:04:00Back at the office.
01:04:01That's where he said he was.
01:04:02And where Quinn's anorak was.
01:04:04And it was in the anorak that we found Quinn's ticket.
01:04:08Good, you're right.
01:04:09Right about what?
01:04:10Yes.
01:04:12Yes, you've done it again, Lewis.
01:04:14That's where we found the ticket.
01:04:16That's where we were meant to find it.
01:04:19Yes, that's it.
01:04:21Quinn didn't go to the cinema at all.
01:04:23Oh, but...
01:04:24Well, he couldn't, you fool.
01:04:26He was dead already.
01:04:46Hello.
01:04:50Officer.
01:04:58Mrs. Evans?
01:04:59Hello, I'm Chief Inspector Morse.
01:05:02You know Sergeant Lewis.
01:05:03Hello, sir.
01:05:11Anything strike you about the room, Mrs. Evans?
01:05:13That chair.
01:05:14Someone's got to move that chair.
01:05:17He'd never sit there.
01:05:19Well, no one would.
01:05:20It's right in the draft.
01:05:22That chair belongs over there.
01:05:26Nope.
01:05:27Nothing funny there.
01:05:32Oh, my lord.
01:05:34This milk's off.
01:05:39Now, what do you want to go and buy that for?
01:05:41What's that, Mrs. Evans?
01:05:42Salted butter.
01:05:44He never had salted butter.
01:05:46Fussy about that, he was.
01:05:48And he's got a whole pound of unsalted here already, look.
01:05:52Lewis, the shopping.
01:05:54Salted butter.
01:05:55Was that in Quinn's shopping?
01:05:57I think so, yeah.
01:05:58Well, then it wasn't Quinn's shopping, was it?
01:06:02Did I say something?
01:06:13No.
01:06:19You're forgetting Noakes, the caretaker.
01:06:21He saw Quinn leave the syndicate at ten to five.
01:06:23No, he didn't.
01:06:24He saw Quinn's car leave the syndicate.
01:06:27Well, the driver was wearing Quinn's anorak.
01:06:28Well, of course.
01:06:29It was raining.
01:06:30He wanted to look like Quinn.
01:06:32He?
01:06:33Or she.
01:06:34I haven't ruled out she.
01:06:37Well, we're going now.
01:06:39You're going to prove me wrong, I hope.
01:06:41About what?
01:06:43About Ogilby killing Quinn.
01:06:46Philip Ogilby hadn't long to live.
01:06:49Less than a year, I'd say.
01:06:52What was it?
01:06:53Brain tumour.
01:06:54Inoperable.
01:06:55Did he know?
01:06:56Oh, yes.
01:06:57I always tell my patients.
01:06:59And in any case, I could never have kept it from him.
01:07:02He had a very inquiring sort of mind.
01:07:04Thought he knew more about his case than I did.
01:07:06Doctor's nightmare.
01:07:08Was he in pain, then?
01:07:09He would have been, eventually.
01:07:11Did he know that?
01:07:12Oh, he knew everything.
01:07:13I tell you, if he was working on his own murder, he'd have the whole case sewn up by now.
01:07:17Oh, not that I mean that you...
01:07:19Would you say he was the sort of man to take his own life?
01:07:22One he'd had enough, I mean.
01:07:24Possibly.
01:07:26Yes, very possibly.
01:07:27But nothing messy.
01:07:28Something simple, quick, and inconveniencing others as little as possible.
01:07:32What would you have recommended, Doctor?
01:07:33Oh, he wouldn't have needed my advice.
01:07:35He knew all about cyanide, I'm sure.
01:07:40The trouble with my method, Lewis, is it's inspirational, and as a result, I sometimes, sometimes, get things arse about face.
01:07:49Yes, sir.
01:07:50However, this case is crystal clear now.
01:07:53I shall make an arrest tomorrow morning.
01:07:55You can't do that.
01:07:56You've got to go to the inquest.
01:07:57I'll make the arrest immediately after the inquest.
01:08:00What if he's not there?
01:08:01Oh, he or she'll be there, all right.
01:08:03He or she is a witness.
01:08:20Thanks, darling.
01:08:23What time will you be home, darling?
01:08:25Usual time, I imagine.
01:08:27Unless they decide to arrest me.
01:08:29Morning, boss.
01:08:30Morning.
01:08:31Morning.
01:08:44Sorry.
01:08:47I'm absolutely opposed to it.
01:08:48Just relax.
01:08:50All present and correct, except Monica.
01:08:52All right.
01:09:02Where the bloody hell is she?
01:09:08I'm sorry, sir.
01:09:10I'm sorry.
01:09:12I'm sorry.
01:09:14I'm sorry.
01:09:16I'm sorry.
01:09:17I'm sorry.
01:09:24Mr Bartlett asked me to go to Mr Quinn's house to see if he was all right.
01:09:31When I got there, I could see the curtains were still drawn.
01:09:35But I could see through where they didn't meet very well that Quinn was lying on the carpet.
01:09:42So I went and phoned the police.
01:09:47All right.
01:09:52The smallest dose of cyanide which has proved fatal is a half gram of pharmacopoeic acid or 0.6 gram of anhydrous hydrocyanic acid.
01:10:02In this case, the cyanide was undoubtedly administered in the form of anhydrous hydrocyanic acid mixed with sherry.
01:10:09The post-mortem appearances were such as to lead me to believe that death must have occurred almost immediately.
01:10:18Chief Inspector Morse, I believe you're in charge of the investigation into the death of Mr Quinn.
01:10:23Yes, sir.
01:10:32Are you prepared to indicate to the court the present state of your inquiries?
01:10:36Not yet, sir. I should like to make formal application that the inquest be adjourned for a fortnight.
01:10:41Am I to understand by that that your inquiries are likely to be completed by that time?
01:10:45Yes, sir.
01:10:47Am I right in saying that no arrest has yet been made in this case?
01:10:50Yes, sir.
01:10:52Will a fortnight be sufficient time then to complete your investigation?
01:10:55Oh, I believe so, sir. An arrest is imminent.
01:10:59As a matter of fact, I have a warrant here.
01:11:04And although it may be unusual to introduce a touch of melodrama into your court, sir,
01:11:08I should like, with your permission, to execute it immediately after the adjournment of this inquest.
01:11:14If, of course, you allow the adjournment.
01:11:17Very well. I declare this inquest adjourned for two weeks.
01:11:21All rise.
01:11:39Christopher Algernon Roop, I have here a warrant for your arrest in connection with the murder of Nicholas Quinn.
01:11:44It is my duty to tell you...
01:11:46Are you quite mad?
01:11:48I hope you'll be sensible, sir.
01:11:50You're making the most absurd mistake here. I hope you realize...
01:11:53Yes, yes. Let's keep all that till later.
01:11:56Yes, sir.
01:12:09I should have been quicker.
01:12:11You gave him the clue, sir, that first day.
01:12:14I did?
01:12:16Yes, you said you were a stickler for security.
01:12:18Well, everyone confirmed that, and yet there was Quinn.
01:12:21Only been in the place a couple of months.
01:12:23Three. Three months.
01:12:25Would you say he was a conscientious man, sir?
01:12:27Oh, yes.
01:12:29Always left a note to say where he was going and that sort of thing.
01:12:32He was extremely scrupulous.
01:12:33And yet, apparently...
01:12:35Apparently, that Friday afternoon, he broke all the law and the prophets.
01:12:38He committed the sin against the Holy Ghost.
01:12:40Inspector, please.
01:12:42He left a filing cabinet open.
01:12:44A cabinet full of exam questions.
01:12:47Now, either he was idle and careless...
01:12:49Well, he wasn't then, not at all.
01:12:51Then it was entirely uncharacteristic of him to do it.
01:12:54So he didn't do it.
01:12:56Someone else did it.
01:12:57Someone else who then came back and drew notice attention
01:13:01to this uncharacteristic breach of security.
01:13:04That Quinn was in the building was confirmed by the presence of his anorak.
01:13:08I don't understand. Where was Quinn?
01:13:10In the car park.
01:13:12In the boot of his car all the time.
01:13:14What?
01:13:16I'm sorry, gentlemen, I must get back to the station
01:13:18to hear what Mr. Rupp has to say for himself.
01:13:20It's all a question of logic, you know.
01:13:22Just the application of logic.
01:13:28Right, Lewis, where have we got him?
01:13:30Interview room one, sir.
01:13:32Right, whatever you do, don't interrupt.
01:13:34Just keep your mouth shut and your face straight.
01:13:36Even if you think I'm quite barmy, all right?
01:13:38Right, sir.
01:13:40Good.
01:13:42Does that mean you've arrested him on inspiration, then, sir?
01:13:44Yes, sir.
01:13:46I'm sorry, sir.
01:13:48I'm sorry.
01:13:50I'm sorry.
01:13:52I'm sorry.
01:13:54I'm sorry.
01:13:55Does that mean you've arrested him on inspiration, then, sir?
01:14:00I don't know what you're talking about.
01:14:02No?
01:14:05Do you know what's been the trouble with this case, Lewis?
01:14:09Everyone's been so damned clever.
01:14:12It began well, though, didn't it?
01:14:14Everything just as you planned.
01:14:17You said goodnight to Noakes,
01:14:19walked out of the syndicate,
01:14:21disappeared down the road,
01:14:22turned round and came back again.
01:14:25Noakes obligingly went off to make a cup of tea.
01:14:29You went quietly in,
01:14:32along to Quinn's office,
01:14:34put on his anorak, crept out the back,
01:14:37got into his own car, using his own keys,
01:14:40and drove off.
01:14:42The ever-obliging Noakes
01:14:44even saw you out of the window,
01:14:46thought you were Quinn himself.
01:14:48You then drove to Quinn's cottage,
01:14:49stopping to shop on the way.
01:14:51Two steaks, to make it look as if he had a guest.
01:14:54A mysterious, unseen guest
01:14:57who poisoned him and then vanished.
01:14:59Very, very ingenious.
01:15:02Except you didn't check his fridge.
01:15:05You bought butter.
01:15:07He had plenty of butter already,
01:15:09and you bought salted.
01:15:11He never touched salted butter.
01:15:14Silly mistake, wasn't it?
01:15:16Overreached yourself, I'm afraid.
01:15:19If anyone's overreaching themselves, it's you.
01:15:22I've never heard such elaborate nonsense in my life.
01:15:26There's more to come.
01:15:28In that case, I think I'd better speak to my lawyer.
01:15:30I thought you didn't want to see him.
01:15:33I didn't know that we'd be leaving the realms of fact for fantasy.
01:15:37Well, it seemed fantastic to me at first,
01:15:41but then it was meant to, wasn't it?
01:15:43I've no idea what you're talking about.
01:15:45You deny the charges, then?
01:15:47Charges? You haven't bought any charges yet.
01:15:49You deny the sequence of events I...
01:15:51Of course I bloody deny it!
01:15:53I've never heard such rubbish in my life.
01:15:56Then let me explain.
01:15:58Quinn's murderer had to establish an alibi.
01:16:01You see, all the indications were
01:16:03that Quinn was still alive on Friday evening,
01:16:05but he wasn't, as you know.
01:16:07Don't keep saying things like that.
01:16:09I don't know anything of the sort.
01:16:10Oh, did he?
01:16:12I'm still not exactly sure when he was killed.
01:16:15I was hoping you'd tell me.
01:16:17Look, I was in London all day.
01:16:20I got back to Oxford at 4.15.
01:16:23Can you prove that, sir?
01:16:25Indeed I can.
01:16:27I met the dean of Lonsdale College on the platform.
01:16:35Does that phone connect with the real world?
01:16:37Yes, yes.
01:16:39Then phone him up and ask him.
01:16:43Lewis, would you...
01:16:46Number 74353.
01:16:49And if Quinn was actually murdered
01:16:51before I got back to Oxford,
01:16:53if indeed he was really murdered at all,
01:16:55that puts me in the clear, doesn't it?
01:16:57It would seem to, yes, sir.
01:17:00Ah, good afternoon.
01:17:02Could I speak to the dean, please?
01:17:04Just one moment, please.
01:17:05It won't be back till four.
01:17:07Well, get over to the college at four o'clock
01:17:09and see him, will you?
01:17:11All right, thank you.
01:17:13No, nothing important.
01:17:15It's important to me, if you don't mind.
01:17:17Can I go now?
01:17:19Well, yes.
01:17:21I see no reason to...
01:17:23I'm sorry you've been troubled, sir.
01:17:25Sergeant Lewis,
01:17:27would you drive Mr. Wood back to his room?
01:17:29No, thanks. I'll walk.
01:17:31I've had enough police hospitality for one day.
01:17:33Would you tell me what you think you're doing?
01:17:36Too clever by half, Lewis.
01:17:38Too clever by two or three and a half.
01:18:02Thank you very much.
01:18:33See you next week.
01:18:37No, don't do that.
01:18:39I said...
01:18:42Sorry, I said...
01:18:44Don't wipe out the words yet. I want to look at them.
01:18:50Well, you can see the principle.
01:18:52P, B and M are the most difficult letters to read.
01:18:55T and D get easily confused as well.
01:18:58Mr. Quinn was very good, though.
01:18:59One of the best lip readers I've ever had.
01:19:01Of course, even he made mistakes.
01:19:03We all do.
01:19:04Was he very deaf?
01:19:06Yeah.
01:19:09Can I rub this off now?
01:19:12Would he be able to hear the bell?
01:19:15I'm sorry, would Mr. Quinn have been able to hear that bell?
01:19:18What bell?
01:19:29I don't know.
01:19:59I don't know.
01:20:29I don't know.
01:20:59I don't know.
01:21:29I don't know.
01:21:59I don't know.
01:22:00I don't know.
01:22:01I don't know.
01:22:02I don't know.
01:22:03I don't know.
01:22:04I don't know.
01:22:05I don't know.
01:22:06I don't know.
01:22:07I don't know.
01:22:08I don't know.
01:22:09I don't know.
01:22:10I don't know.
01:22:11I don't know.
01:22:12I don't know.
01:22:13I don't know.
01:22:14I don't know.
01:22:15I don't know.
01:22:16I don't know.
01:22:17I don't know.
01:22:18I don't know.
01:22:19I don't know.
01:22:20I don't know.
01:22:21I don't know.
01:22:22I don't know.
01:22:23I don't know.
01:22:24I don't know.
01:22:25I don't know.
01:22:26I don't know.
01:22:27I don't know.
01:22:29I don't know.
01:22:30I don't know.
01:22:31I don't know.
01:22:47Who?
01:22:52Yes.
01:22:53Yes.
01:22:55This all makes sense.
01:22:58Right. Well done, Lewis. I'm on my way.
01:23:11Afternoon, sir.
01:23:12Afternoon.
01:23:20Come in.
01:23:24Inspector. How nice.
01:23:27Feeling better?
01:23:29Well...
01:23:31I couldn't stand hospital.
01:23:33Work helps, you know.
01:23:35And you like your work, Monica. I may call you Monica.
01:23:40If you like.
01:23:42And yes, I like my work.
01:23:45And your loyalty to the syndicate is really something, isn't it?
01:23:50What do you mean?
01:23:51To the secretary, anyway.
01:23:54Ah.
01:23:56You lied to me.
01:23:58No.
01:23:59You asked me if I saw anyone at the cinema. I didn't. I saw him coming out.
01:24:04That's a bit Jesuitical, isn't it?
01:24:07He's a married man.
01:24:09I just couldn't see what his being there could possibly have to do with...
01:24:12Anyway.
01:24:14He was leaving even before the film began.
01:24:16Yes.
01:24:18Why do you reckon that was, Monica?
01:24:20He saw Donald.
01:24:21Donald would have been out of there like a shot if he'd seen him.
01:24:24Yes?
01:24:26Yes.
01:24:29If you're going to call me Monica...
01:24:31What shall I call you?
01:24:34Morse.
01:24:36Everyone just calls me Morse.
01:24:42Ah, just the man I wanted to see.
01:24:44I want you to call an extraordinary general meeting of the board of...
01:24:47Syndics, do you call them?
01:24:49Syndics, yes.
01:24:51For tomorrow morning.
01:24:52Well, that's impossible. They're all very busy people.
01:24:55Tell them to cancel their lectures, their visits to their publishers, their college meetings...
01:25:00In fact, the whole Hebdominal Council, if necessary.
01:25:02I want to see them at ten o'clock for a most important announcement.
01:25:05Well, I hope it proves more important than your announcement at the inquest.
01:25:09I understand Mr. Roop is considering suing for wrongful arrest.
01:25:12Then he'll do it from jail. We've just arrested him again.
01:25:15We've just arrested him again.
01:25:17And after then, Dr. Batters.
01:25:19These dons. I mean, look at them.
01:25:22There's enough brains here to sort out the whole of the British economy.
01:25:25What do they spend their time on?
01:25:27Obscure research and teaching ignorant louts of undergraduates.
01:25:30There's a lot of very important research going on in Oxford. Can't surrender that.
01:25:34Oh, yes, of course.
01:25:36It's pretty rare he fights setting exams, don't you think?
01:25:40I hope he wanted to prove himself outside the academic world.
01:25:44He knew he was dying.
01:25:46Found himself in the middle of corruption and murder.
01:25:49Wanted to have a go, that's what it was.
01:25:51He wanted to solve it on his own.
01:25:53At the end of his life, he wanted to prove he'd lived.
01:25:56So he died.
01:25:57Yes.
01:25:58Good morning, Inspector.
01:26:00Though hardly from a syndicate.
01:26:02Good morning, sir. We were just talking about Mr. Ogilby.
01:26:04I'd be wondering if we didn't do him a great injustice.
01:26:07We might have had none of this trouble if we'd appointed him instead of Bartlett.
01:26:10Oh, well, we'll never know, will we?
01:26:13Dr. Bartlett, what happened at 12 o'clock last Friday in this building?
01:26:19We had a fire drill.
01:26:21Precisely.
01:26:27All right, ladies, thank you. We're just practicing.
01:26:34All right, that's enough.
01:26:36Quinn couldn't hear that.
01:26:38And so, as the alarm was sounding, he was being offered a glass of sherry.
01:26:41It was being offered a glass of sherry in one of the offices downstairs.
01:26:44Sherry laced with cyanide.
01:26:47He was dead within 20 seconds at the most.
01:26:52And while everyone else was out front,
01:26:54the murderer rapidly took the body out the back
01:26:57and dumped it in the boot of Quinn's own car.
01:27:00He then joined the others,
01:27:01ticking his and Quinn's name off the list.
01:27:04He then went to the cinema.
01:27:06There he purchased the ticket, but he did not go into the film.
01:27:10He came back here,
01:27:11leaving that ticket to be collected later and put in Quinn's pocket,
01:27:15so that we'd all assume that Quinn was alive,
01:27:17long after he had, in fact, been murdered.
01:27:20Excuse me, I must intervene.
01:27:23You said Roop was the murderer.
01:27:25He couldn't have been. He was in London.
01:27:27I saw him getting off the train.
01:27:28Oh, I know he was on the train, sir.
01:27:30But you said...
01:27:31I said he'd been arrested in connection with Quinn's murder.
01:27:34I didn't say he'd personally committed it.
01:27:36No, no, one person couldn't possibly have managed it on his or her own.
01:27:40Yes?
01:27:42She's here, sir.
01:27:43Bring her in, ma'am.
01:27:47Mrs. Hite?
01:27:49Would you like to sit here?
01:27:54Mrs. Hite, you spent the early part of last Friday afternoon
01:27:58at the cinema, didn't you?
01:28:00Yes.
01:28:01Which cinema was it?
01:28:02The Studio 2 in Walton Street.
01:28:04Were you alone?
01:28:07No, I went with Donald Martin.
01:28:09Together or separately?
01:28:11Separately. Donald went first.
01:28:13We didn't want anyone to see us.
01:28:15Quite.
01:28:16And as you approached the cinema,
01:28:19did you see someone you knew leaving it?
01:28:21Yes.
01:28:23And is that person in this room today?
01:28:27Yes.
01:28:29And would you be so kind as to say who it is?
01:28:32I'm afraid it was Dr. Bartlett.
01:28:35Dr. Thomas Bartlett, I have here a warrant for your arrest.
01:28:52I don't believe it.
01:28:53I just can't believe it.
01:28:55Bartlett!
01:28:56He needed the money.
01:28:58He had a perfectly adequate salary.
01:29:00A perfectly adequate salary?
01:29:02Rather generous by academic standards.
01:29:04There's mental illness in the family.
01:29:06In what?
01:29:07The son, Richard, he's being treated in the Littlemore.
01:29:10Yes, not the first hospital he's been in either.
01:29:13As a matter of fact, the Bartlett's have sent him to almost every clinic in Europe.
01:29:17And not on the NHS.
01:29:19Yes, Richard Bartlett's cost his parents a lot.
01:29:22In emotion and money.
01:29:25Like thousand pound notes those exams are.
01:29:30And Bartlett was such a stickler for security.
01:29:32No one would ever dream of suspecting him.
01:29:34Quinn couldn't believe it.
01:29:36His own boss.
01:29:38Neither could Ogilby when Quinn told him.
01:29:40Which is why Ogilby was here that Friday afternoon.
01:29:43Just as he said.
01:29:45Where? Nobody saw him?
01:29:47He was right here.
01:29:49Searching for evidence that Quinn was right.
01:29:53Yes, Bartlett was off in Bambury.
01:29:55The coast was apparently clear.
01:29:58Nothing.
01:30:00Except here.
01:30:02Quinn's keys taken from his pocket after the murder.
01:30:06And half a cinema ticket.
01:30:08It's very odd surely.
01:30:12Left on the desk for someone perhaps.
01:30:14So what does he do?
01:30:16He doesn't want anyone to know he's been snooping.
01:30:18So he carefully copies the ticket into a diary.
01:30:21Just as he's doing this.
01:30:23Oh my God.
01:30:25Voices.
01:30:26Rope.
01:30:27A note.
01:30:28What the hell do I do?
01:30:29They're coming here.
01:30:31I go in here.
01:30:34That's what I do.
01:30:35And I hope to God Roop doesn't want to pee.
01:30:38He doesn't.
01:30:39But he does, however.
01:30:41Take the keys and the ticket.
01:30:44I see that the keys and the ticket have gone.
01:30:47And I'm extremely puzzled.
01:30:51Ten minutes later I hear a car start up outside.
01:30:54Quinn's car.
01:30:55Driven with the keys I've seen on this desk.
01:30:57Just a short while ago.
01:30:59Ah, so Bartlett was the murderer.
01:31:01And Roop drove away with the evidence.
01:31:03Precisely.
01:31:04I expect the cyanide was Roop's idea.
01:31:06He is a chemist, isn't he?
01:31:08And I'm sure Bartlett never offers his staff anything stronger than sherry.
01:31:14Ogilby was very close to the truth.
01:31:16He found the cinema, you know.
01:31:17Pretending to be a detective story writer.
01:31:19Asking about ticket numbers.
01:31:22I always thought he was a very able man.
01:31:24Of course it never occurred to me.
01:31:26Look at this.
01:31:28Poor old Quinn wasn't here long enough to get his name on the notepaper.
01:31:34T.G. Bartlett.
01:31:36Ph.D., M.A., Secretary.
01:31:39P. Ogilby, M.A., Deputy Secretary.
01:31:42We made the matter a sort of compensation.
01:31:45A bit under known.
01:31:47What are you going to do about George Bland?
01:31:49Interpol will deal with him.
01:31:50Quite roughly, if I know Interpol.
01:31:53Mrs. M.M. Hite, M.A., D.J. Martin, B.A.
01:31:57Well, strike the first two off the list.
01:31:59What are you left with?
01:32:00Office adultery.
01:32:02We obviously have to close him. I'm sure of that.
01:32:05It's a dreadful thing for British education.
01:32:07Of course, the Americans are everywhere.
01:32:09They spell honour, H-O-N-M-R.
01:32:10Christ.
01:32:12What's the matter?
01:32:13Take this paper to the door and read the first and last names out loud.
01:32:17What on earth?
01:32:18Please.
01:32:21T.G. Bartlett.
01:32:22P.H.D. M.A.
01:32:24Just the names. Just the names.
01:32:26Bartlett, Martin.
01:32:28Just whisper them. Just move your lips.
01:32:33Oh, God.
01:32:34And again.
01:32:36Dr. Bartlett, Donald Martin.
01:32:42Shit.
01:32:46The wrong bloody brand.
01:32:49And I've gone and arrested the wrong man.
01:32:52Shit.
01:33:23Where is he?
01:33:25What? Who? What do you mean?
01:33:26Did you clean the blood off for him?
01:33:28No, no. What do you mean?
01:33:29Oh, for God's sake, woman.
01:33:31Was it you or him?
01:33:32There must have been plenty of it and brains.
01:33:35Come on. Come on.
01:33:37What are you trying to protect him for?
01:33:39Monica wasn't the first, was she?
01:33:41Or likely to be the last.
01:33:43Don't tell me you love him.
01:33:45He...
01:33:47He said there'd been an accident.
01:33:49He said he'd been shot.
01:33:50He...
01:33:52He said there'd been an accident.
01:33:54He said it was in the Broad,
01:33:57just opposite Blackwell's.
01:33:59It was a girl, an undergraduate.
01:34:02Philip Ogilby.
01:34:03Who was knocked down by a car.
01:34:05A poker. He used Ogilby's own poker.
01:34:07He smashed his skull in, Mrs. Martin.
01:34:10Oh, Donald!
01:34:21Oh, God!
01:34:33Clean your hands, eh?
01:34:35Get that bastard off me!
01:34:40You should get yourself in better shape, Moss.
01:34:43You're getting flabby with all that beer.
01:34:46Yes.
01:34:48You must have a word with the superintendent
01:34:50about fitness in the over 40s.
01:34:53I'm surprised at you, Moss.
01:34:56Fisticuffs at your age?
01:34:58I thought you didn't like the sight of blood.
01:35:00All in the cause of duty.
01:35:03You are sure you've got the right name this time.
01:35:08But I thought he was so clever at lip-reading.
01:35:11No one's perfect.
01:35:13Then he'd had a good deal to drink, hadn't he?
01:35:15He'd done himself well enough.
01:35:17Then, of course, when Rube deliberately drew suspicion on you
01:35:20by asking you to meet him at the botanical gardens...
01:35:23He said it was so we could talk without him implicating.
01:35:27Yes, well, they were very cunning.
01:35:29Both of them.
01:35:31But not as cunning as Ogilby.
01:35:33They couldn't get past that crossword puzzle mind.
01:35:36Rube's never liked me, has he, my dear?
01:35:39Envy, I'm afraid.
01:35:42I have a little money of my own, you see.
01:35:44So we've always been able to see that...
01:35:46that Richard got the very best attention.
01:35:49Quiet.
01:35:51Oh, my.
01:35:53Yes, indeed.
01:35:59You...
01:36:01You've had a bad time,
01:36:04Mrs. Highton.
01:36:06Most of it my own fault.
01:36:08If there's anything I can do...
01:36:10Thank you, but my friends are very kind.
01:36:13Shall I pour?
01:36:15Yes, do it.
01:36:17How do you like it, Inspector?
01:36:18I expect you'd rather have something stronger, wouldn't you?
01:36:22Well, yes.
01:36:31Doubtless you'd like some explanation of why I was...
01:36:36and why I went to the...
01:36:38to the botanical gardens.
01:36:40And why I went to the...
01:36:43Oh, no, no, I understand.
01:36:45I do assure you I don't make a habit of visiting the cinema,
01:36:48that kind or any other.
01:36:50Of course not.
01:36:51But I'd heard so much about this film.
01:36:54It's a classic, they tell me.
01:36:56I believe so, yes.
01:36:57So having half an hour to spare before leaving for Banbury,
01:37:01I wasn't planning on seeing the whole thing, of course.
01:37:04Of course not.
01:37:06You know, it's absurd,
01:37:08but I feel almost worse about this than I do about the syndicate.
01:37:13I... I feel I've let myself down.
01:37:17Monica understood that.
01:37:19That's why she wanted to protect you.
01:37:22I was wondering if...
01:37:25if I shouldn't tell my wife.
01:37:28Tell her what?
01:37:29That you didn't see the film?
01:37:32Adultery in the heart is not really the same as adultery, you know.
01:37:37Or who shall escape whipping?
01:37:44We should have arrested Martin straight away.
01:37:46Why?
01:37:48Morse's law.
01:37:50You said there's a 50-50 chance that whoever finds the body did the deed.
01:37:54That isn't Morse's law.
01:37:56Morse's law is there's always time for one more pint.
01:38:00Only there isn't.
01:38:04Come on.
01:38:07Come on.
01:38:13Do you believe that about Bartlett only meaning to stop for half an hour?
01:38:16Oh, yes.
01:38:18Yes, he only wanted a little thrill.
01:38:20Just a peep behind the magic curtain.
01:38:23Glimpse of how the other half is a bit of the other.
01:38:26Not everyone's like you, you know.
01:38:27He is.
01:38:31Oh, no, they've changed the bloody film!
01:38:35Oh, 101 Dalmatians!
01:38:37Great, I might pop home and fetch the wife and kids.
