00:03:06Chap on seagull Island, isn't it? That's right. Have you heard from him before then heard from him?

00:03:11No, we must have filled about half a dozen waste paper baskets with bump from him over the years

00:03:16Nutty as a fruitcake. He is

00:03:19These well, he says unless you take him seriously this time

00:03:22He's going to prove his point once and for all and unleash his bees to kill someone

00:03:27Don't think he means it

00:03:41We got

00:03:43Understanding all right

00:07:26Well, of course, dr. Vicki's health is all that really matters, but good

00:07:31Then you'll have no objection if I take the law into my own hands and arrange a convalescent right away

00:10:04On the slate I suppose but of course

00:10:09Is Doris about in the kitchen?

00:10:13Let's see about something special

00:10:16I've got someone coming to stay for a couple of weeks and wondered if she'd give us a hand in the house

00:10:21Mrs. Hargrove not too good

00:10:23I'm not brilliant. No

00:10:28Doris Doris

00:10:36Yes, mr. Hargrove wants to ask you a favor

00:10:39You

00:10:50Want something would you like to come up to the farm and give us a hand in the house for a couple of weeks?

00:10:55I've got a guest arriving

00:10:59I'd love to

00:11:02Good who's coming? Oh

00:11:06Some singer Vicki Robbins

00:11:09Vicki Robbins that should make us quite a tourist attraction

00:11:31You seen Tessa's me

00:11:34The dogs meet have you seen it? Oh, it's in the ladder. I think would you like me to go and look?

00:11:39No, I'll go. You know you take it from me. Anyway

00:11:45Doris

00:11:47Looks marvelous. I don't know what I would have done without you. It's all right. I'm only too glad to help

00:11:55Yes, well I'd better get out of me two birds

00:12:08I

00:12:38I

00:13:04Hope you like the room. Yes, it's very nice good

00:13:08Oh

00:13:10The bathroom it's up here bathroom

00:13:15Hope you're not gonna find it too dull on these islands Robbins. No, I think it's gonna be great

00:13:22Doris tells me you're quite a celebrity miss Robbins. If it's peace and quiet you want you'll come to the right place

00:13:29No screaming teenagers here. It's perfect. I'm beginning to feel better already have some more toast miss Robbins. No, thank you

00:13:36Mrs. Hargrove and the honey was delicious. I thank you. You know something we grow our own

00:13:41specialty of the house

00:13:43I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry

00:13:48I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry

00:13:53Don't encourage him miss Robbins. He spends far too much time with those bees as it is instead of running the farm

00:13:58My wife doesn't seem to realize the amount of work involved in bee farming

00:14:03As far as I'm concerned, it's worth every moment. I've never tasted honey like it

00:14:10Now you're very fond of animals miss Robbins, yes, I am especially dogs. Oh, excuse me. I

00:14:17Have a pleasant day. Miss Robbins. Why don't you go for walkers on you? Yes, I'd like that

00:14:22May I take her with me? Yes, of course. She'd love a walk

00:14:26She certainly seems to have taken to you. She never leaves me as a rule

00:14:45Hello

00:14:47Now nothing to do with work baby just calling to see that you've arrived safely

00:14:53Good

00:14:54Good, that's it. You have a nice rest

00:14:57Yeah, bye

00:15:07That was my agent he worries about me all the time come on Tess

00:15:12Bye, mrs. Hargrove

00:15:13By the way, where are the hives? I'd love to have a look at them on the way out

00:15:17He doesn't like people around the house. He says it disturbs the bees

00:15:47Oh

00:15:58Come on out you go

00:16:03Hello

00:16:04You're miss Robbins, aren't you?

00:16:07I hope Tess hasn't done any damage. Oh, I shouldn't think so

00:16:10Come in. Come along in we'll have a look

00:16:17You stay there Tess. I heard you were staying at the Hargrove. My name is Manfred

00:16:28Well, they don't seem to have broken anything what a beautiful room

00:16:34Look at these butterflies

00:16:36Did you catch them yourself? Yes, I did. It's one of my hobbies over there to my bees. Oh

00:16:42You keep these too, yes, I didn't see any hives. No, you wouldn't I haven't got any in a sense

00:16:59I had my apiary built here so that I can keep an eye on them. See they don't get up to any mischief

00:17:06Fascinating, aren't they?

00:17:12Okay

00:17:15Would you like a cup of tea? No, thank you. I had an enormous breakfast before I left the farm

00:17:19How are they looking after you at the Hargrove? Oh very well. Thank you splendid

00:17:24But I say we're all delighted to have you on the island. I hope you're enjoying your stay with us

00:17:30Look if you're not too busy sometime

00:17:33Perhaps you'd like to come over and have tea with me sample some of my delicious honey

00:17:37It's much better than Hargrove's, but don't tell him I said I'd love that

00:18:07Give me a chance to show you

00:18:22Can I help you

00:18:24No, no, I was wondering if I could borrow this book. I was looking at mr. Manford's bees this afternoon

00:18:29I got quite interested. I realize you don't know much about life here on the island

00:18:34But may I suggest you take my advice and don't repeat your visits

00:18:39To mr. Manfred

00:18:41It's dangerous to involve yourself in matters. You don't understand

00:18:46Like what like

00:18:50Bees miss Robbins

00:18:54Turn up the light when you finish

00:19:03I

00:19:33I

00:20:03You

00:20:33I

00:21:03I

00:21:06I

00:21:26So you're back I

00:21:29Thought I'd married a farmer not a vet up at all hours of the night. I wasn't aware that I was disturbing him

00:21:36Anyway, I have some rather important work. I've got to do work. It's a great pity

00:21:40You couldn't manage a little of that during the day around the farm

00:21:43my farm

00:21:59Oh

00:22:14What time is it nine o'clock

00:22:17Good gorgeous day. Did you sleep well?

00:22:20Like a top once I got to sleep Doris. Yeah

00:22:24Nothing

00:22:54I

00:23:24You stay there Jess

00:23:54I

00:23:56What are you doing in here just looking around do you mind

00:24:01No

00:24:02Well, I shouldn't have thought there was much to interest you in a stable. I do a lot of riding

00:24:08I'm fond of horses

00:24:10Are you?

00:24:11Well, if you thought you were going to get some riding here, I'm afraid you're out of luck. The man is sick

00:24:17The vet told me to keep a stable and very quiet so if you don't mind

00:24:24I

00:24:54Don't mind if I use your phone. I thought I'd ring my agent. Well, I I just tried to use it myself. It's out of order again

00:25:01Does that often happen? Yes, I'm afraid it does

00:25:05Anyway, I was going to take a walk. I expect mr. Manfred's got a phone. Oh, I've no idea. I'm sure

00:25:11We don't see much of mr. Manfred. My husband doesn't like it

00:25:16Thank you

00:25:19I've checked that number again on Seagull Island. It's still out of order

00:25:23Well, see if there's another phone on the island where they'll take a message

00:25:26If we don't get her back here for the recording on Tuesday, we won't have a number in the charts for Christmas

00:25:33Get me director

00:25:35I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry

00:25:38I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry

00:25:41I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry

00:25:44Get me director inquiries, please

00:25:47After all I've done for that girl and she's off enjoying herself at a time like this

00:25:54It must have been about two o'clock when everything seemed to happen. What do you mean?

00:25:57well noises from the stable and

00:26:00People wandering around in the yard. I don't mind telling you I soon locked the door and hid under the bedclothes

00:26:05You sure you didn't dream all this? Well, I thought I might have done at first

00:26:09When this morning I went into the stable it's all these terrible hypodermic punches all over that wretched horse

00:26:16Don't say that

00:26:19You're very observant, aren't you?

00:26:40Mary

00:26:42Stop feeding that animal for just one minute

00:27:12You're the only friend I've got around this place

00:27:17Well, thank you for the coffee. Oh, you're very welcome

00:27:22Now

00:27:24You're not to worry. Okay. All right. Goodbye. Bye. Bye

00:27:42I

00:28:04Gang down to the top you want to come? Oh, come on

00:28:12I

00:28:42I

00:29:13I

00:29:20Try to keep you waiting, mr. Hargrove, that's right. Miss Robbins. This is the girl we have staying with us

00:29:26This is Dave Hawkins our host and our special constable. My daughter's told me all about you

00:29:34Miss Robbins, I'm not as with it as she is, but I'm glad to meet you just the same

00:29:39All right, what do we have

00:29:59He did this

00:30:03He did it

00:30:05Him

00:30:35I

00:31:05I

00:31:35I

00:32:05I

00:32:21Wish Doris wouldn't go up there. Yeah

00:32:25Yet he seemed a nice little dog

00:32:27Mrs. Hargrove must have been very upset. She was Doris told me

00:32:32Blamed Hargrove for the whole thing

00:32:35Tried to burn down the beehives. Did she?

00:32:40You know, it's most unusual that Hargrove

00:32:44Should allow his bees to get out of control like that

00:32:48He's a very experienced beekeeper

00:32:53Strange

00:32:56My little dog

00:33:02What time do you want lunch mrs. Hargrove whatever time he gets back from that pub of yours, well, didn't he tell you

00:33:09You

00:33:22You see what happened to Tess almost happened to you yes

00:33:27Yes, and very probably the same bees

00:33:30the same bees

00:33:34The same species

00:33:37Look come here

00:33:44Now

00:33:46Here is a worker bee. It's one of my own from my apiary

00:33:51It's nothing unusual about it

00:33:53Except that it's dead, of course. And as you can see it has quite an ordinary sting

00:33:59ordinary

00:34:01Yes unpleasant, but quite ordinary

00:34:04Now

00:34:07This bee is not only twice as big

00:34:12But lethal

00:34:15Lethal hmm. It is one of a swarm that was sent to attack my hives

00:34:22Sent

00:34:28But how can bees be sent well, that's what I'd like to know because this

00:34:33Large bee this killer bee is not a very known species

00:34:37Somebody must be breeding them. But surely you and mr. Hargrove are the only beekeepers on the island

00:34:43The other day you said I was dreaming things. I think it's your turn now

00:34:46Anyway, if I thought what you were saying was true, I wouldn't stay at the farm a moment longer

00:34:50In fact, I get the next boat off the island

00:34:55The next boat and I'm afraid the next boat off the island doesn't leave until next week

00:35:02I

00:35:32I

00:35:34Mrs. Hargrove

00:36:02I

00:36:32I

00:37:02I

00:37:32I

00:38:02I

00:38:32I

00:39:02I

00:39:07Can't believe it

00:39:09Well, it's true. It seems to me too much of a coincidence that this should happen twice. I'm going up to the Hargrove

00:39:14Well, I'm coming with you

00:39:15Look Doris. I know you're old enough to lead a life of your own, but I think you should stop going up to the Hargrove farm

00:39:25I'm sorry dad. I'm going

00:39:29I'd better get back to the pub and radio the police. They'll send over an inspector and a doctor first thing in the morning

00:39:35Is that necessary?

00:39:37Have to be a post-mortem. I

00:39:42Think I want to stay the night dad if you don't mind

00:39:5080 and still here 12 letters

00:39:54Still here 12 letters

00:39:57How about octogenarian

00:40:00Yes, yes, that's it. Thanks over. Oh CT. Yes. Thank you

00:40:05See, did you see this see what this paragraph here woman stung to death on seagull island by bees?

00:40:12Yes

00:40:12Now then six down

00:40:14What do you think is anything to do with that chap who keeps writing to us six down jewel in four letters?

00:40:19That's a bit of a coincidence. Don't you think no question a foul play? No, it's the most unusual case

00:40:24I know but it has been known before there's no foul play. There'll have to be an inquest. Of course. That's a formality

00:40:30Ask you to come in now, please Hawkins. Very good, sir

00:40:38The inspector wants to see you mr. Hargrove. Thank you

00:40:48Mr. Hargrove, I'll try to get the coroner around tomorrow. I'll let Hawkins know later today

00:40:53Just one thing you're quite sure the only other person on the farm at the time was miss Robbins

00:40:58Quite sure she was in the room all the time. She's a guest here

00:41:02Yeah, she was sent here by a psychiatrist. Apparently she suffered a severe mental breakdown. She's still a little

00:41:09Strange. Well, we don't need to bother her now, but she will be required of the inquest Hawkins

00:41:15But if those bees attacked your hives

00:41:17Why weren't you killed?

00:41:22You

00:41:24See my two little cardinal birds no no gently they're very timid

00:41:30The male bird is singing to his mate. You can just see his throat moving

00:41:37Now the female bird can hear that song

00:41:41fortunately

00:41:43But the human ear cannot most human ears it is

00:41:49But how can a bird I oh no no not a bird a moth a death's head moth

00:41:55Now this is one they get their name because of the death's head they carry on their back now these moths

00:42:01It's quite incredible. They can make a very high-pitched note which hypnotizes the bees

00:42:06Why is the bees are so hypnotized the moths evade the hive and steal the honey?

00:42:12But that still doesn't explain why you didn't get killed

00:42:16Yes, well that was a matter of luck

00:42:18I just happened to be working on my apiary and I

00:42:21Had my gloves and veil and I was able to drive them off

00:42:24We spoke but the second time I was ready for them

00:42:27I had made a recording of a note that was of the very same frequency as that made by the moth just

00:42:33Audible to the human ear. I was enabled to hypnotize these deadly killer bees just long enough to

00:42:41capture

00:42:42one or two of them

00:42:44three I

00:42:45killed three

00:42:47look I

00:42:49demonstrate

00:42:51with my own bees

00:43:04Now it's all right as long as they can hear the note they won't come out

00:43:15But why should Hargrove or whoever it was want to destroy your bees?

00:43:20Well, he didn't want to destroy my bees. I think he wanted to destroy me

00:43:25But if that's true, all you have to do is go to the police

00:43:29They just laugh at me

00:43:31What proof do I have? A few dead bees

00:43:35No, now somewhere at the Hargrove farm there must be some proof

00:43:41He must keep some record of what he's doing I just wonder where he keeps it

00:43:48well

00:43:49He did seem very annoyed when I went near his desk the other day

00:43:54Well, perhaps that's where he keeps it I

00:43:57Don't suppose you could mr. Manfred so far. We have no proof of these accusations. I

00:44:04Can't get myself involved

00:44:07Why don't we just wait and see what happens at the inquest

00:44:11Miss Robbins, you've been staying at the Hargrove farm for the last week or two. Have you not? Yes

00:44:18Why?

00:44:19My doctor recommended it. He knows mr. Hargrove. I see

00:44:25Miss Robbins, can you tell this inquiry anything that might help it decide the circumstances that led to mrs. Hargrove's death? No

00:44:33Did you notice anything unusual that day? No

00:44:37Were you at the farm on the day that mrs. Hargrove's dog was killed? Yes, and you still

00:44:43Noticed nothing unusual. No

00:44:48Yes, I do remember the dog seemed very interested was something near the stable

00:44:55And then mr. Hargrove drove him away

00:44:58Miss Robbins, do you know anything about the

00:45:01Thank you, mr. Hargrove, would you take the chair, please?

00:45:11Mr. Hargrove you keep bees on your farm. Do you not? Yes. Have you ever been stung by them?

00:45:17All beekeepers receive stings from time to time

00:45:20But have you ever been stung by bees? Yes. Have you ever been stung by a bee?

00:45:26All beekeepers receive stings from time to time

00:45:29But have you ever been stung by yours often?

00:45:33Have they ever attacked you in force as they did your wife? Never

00:45:37Can you account for the fact that they stung your wife to death? No

00:45:42Is there anything you can tell this court which would help it to establish the exact cause of your wife's death?

00:45:48The cause should be obvious. She was stung to death by bees

00:45:53and her dog

00:45:55Same thing. Why did you drive her dog away from the stable?

00:45:59It was in the way

00:46:02Can you give this court any reason why it should not order your hives to be destroyed?

00:46:07My bees were not responsible. Whose were they?

00:46:10I uh, i'm not sure. Mr. Hargrove

00:46:13Was your wife insured?

00:46:15Yes, and you were the only beneficiary you now have her farm for instance

00:46:21Yes

00:46:22Very well, mr. Hargrove you may stand down

00:46:25Thank you

00:46:29Yes, I agree

00:46:32Well in view of the doctor's report and the evidence I've heard I have no alternative but to declare a verdict of death by misadventure

00:46:39This court is closed

00:46:43Hargrove must have been trying out his bees on me

00:46:47To make sure that the scheme would work before sending the bees to attack his wife

00:46:51But after this there's no knowing what he will do

00:46:54And still we have no proof can't we tell the police to examine his hives they'll find nothing there

00:47:00The killer bees will be hidden away somewhere

00:47:03Vicki

00:47:04Hargrove wouldn't dare try anything else. Not not not yet a while

00:47:09Will you please help me before it's too late? What can I do?

00:47:23So

00:47:53So

00:48:23So

00:48:53So

00:49:23So

00:49:53So

00:50:13Ah, yes, this seems to be the formula

00:50:15I

00:50:22Just put that light on would you

00:50:33Now let's have a proper look does it make any sense to you I have a theory

00:50:40Theory

00:50:44We know

00:50:45that the sound of the death said moth

00:50:48can hypnotize the bees I think Hargrove must have found

00:50:53Or at least must be working on some form of chemical that will will mobilize the bees to attack

00:51:01Now there was that business with the horse wasn't there

00:51:05Yes, I think i've got it

00:51:07Hargrove's formula adrenaline. Have you ever heard of the smell of fear?

00:51:12I thought that was just an expression a chemical

00:51:15Suddenly released into the bloodstream and carried to the surface by the sweat glands

00:51:19in the form of ammonia

00:51:22all animals and insects

00:51:24And especially bees are strongly attracted and sometimes aggravated by

00:51:29this odor now if Hargrove

00:51:32Found some way of

00:51:35Concentrating this smell of fear

00:51:38And

00:51:39And if he could find some way of getting it onto his victims

00:51:44No person would be safe

00:51:46He could send his bees anywhere

00:51:48And attack anyone

00:51:54Then he did kill his wife

00:51:57What can we do I think we better get these back before Hargrove realizes they're missing

00:52:04So

00:52:34So

00:53:04So

00:53:35So

00:53:59Ah

00:54:04So

00:54:34So

00:54:48So

00:55:04Foreign

00:55:34So

00:55:57It's Robin

00:56:05Me

00:56:19No

00:56:35So

00:56:39She'll be all right get rid of those towels

00:57:05So

00:57:30Yes

00:57:35So

00:57:46Oh

00:57:56Oh

00:58:05So

00:58:19Wow

00:58:35So

00:58:46Give me the car keys quickly

00:59:05So

00:59:21So

00:59:34So

01:00:04So

01:00:06So

01:00:08So

01:00:31The Land Rover badly damaged well, I understand that it's in a bit of a mess

01:00:35I thought you ought to know about it. Thanks. I'll go and have a look at it had quite a day up there

01:00:40Why?

01:00:42Well, Doris tells me that miss Robbins was attacked by the bees. Is she badly stung? Oh, luckily

01:00:48Suffering from shock, of course, but otherwise she's all right. Apparently very lucky escape. Yeah, very lucky

01:00:53I'll tell you one good thing about this though

01:00:56Her evidence might enable me to get an order to examine those hives to get to the bottom of this once and for all

01:01:02Come on drink this Vicky

01:01:12All right

01:01:14Doris i've got to get out of here. You can't leave the island. Well, there isn't another boat until tomorrow, but you don't understand

01:01:20It's all right

01:01:22You're perfectly safe now

01:01:25Try and get some rest

01:01:32I'll get these cleaned

01:01:37I'll be back later

01:01:45I'll go in now ralph. I'll see you at the pub later. Oh, yeah, it's all right then. I'll probably

01:02:02So

01:02:24Mr. Hargrove

01:02:26I'm i'm terribly sorry

01:02:29Manfred i'm sick and tired of your bees swarming on my property

01:02:33Quite unintentional. I can't think what makes them do it. Well, that's your problem

01:02:37It's very stupid on me. I know because I only keep bees in a small way. I'm not an expert like yourself

01:02:44You realize of course I have every legal right to keep them. Ah, oh, have you?

01:02:49Oh, I didn't know that

01:02:50No, no, no, but i'm sure that as a friend and neighbor you would never do such a thing

01:02:54By the way, how's miss robin she's all right

01:02:57I have thought of asking her over for a cup of tea or something

01:03:00Well, you'll have to ask her some other time. She's out walking

01:03:13I only hope the lack of frames doesn't cause my bees to swarm again. That's all

01:03:18You better not swarm here. Ah, well and do me a favor

01:03:21Uh organize your hives, will you?

01:03:51So

01:04:21So

01:04:36Will you tell doris that i'd like her back at eight o'clock

01:04:39We should be rather busy in the bar tonight

01:04:42Well doris left about uh

01:04:44Well, we'll have her an hour ago. Oh good

01:04:47Good well, uh take more care in future, won't you?

01:05:18Um

01:05:36Um

01:05:47Yes, sir, I did see a small paragraph in the paper a few days ago, sir, but I didn't think anything of it, sir

01:05:54Yes, sir

01:05:56Well, sir, I didn't think you'd wish to be bothered with any trifling coincidence like that, sir

01:06:03Yes, sir

01:06:05Uh, no, sir, i'm afraid harcourt isn't in today, sir tomorrow morning, sir

01:06:11Yes, of course sir

01:06:14Yes, don't worry sir i'll have him on his way first thing in the morning

01:06:17Thank you

01:06:25Vicki

01:06:27We'll get you off this island as soon as there's a boat

01:06:30But in the meantime, you're perfectly safe here

01:06:34Now i'll be back before lunch and perhaps you'll feel more like eating something then

01:06:41You're not leaving me

01:06:42Well, I have to

01:06:44I must get inside the hargrove farm

01:06:47But why?

01:06:49Well, we've got very nearly all the evidence we need but there are still one or two pieces necessary to complete the jigsaw

01:06:56But I got you all those papers

01:06:59Yes

01:07:00uh

01:07:03But there was that book that hargrove saw you reading, um, perhaps if we could get hold of that

01:07:10Well that that might might help us

01:07:12Can you remember the title?

01:07:15Yes, um

01:07:21Something by a man called simmons

01:07:24bee farming

01:07:27But hargrove would never let you take it

01:07:29Well, we could try can't we and after all you've been through well, we we mustn't let you down

01:07:38Be careful, aren't you

01:07:40I

01:07:43Can look after myself don't you worry now you just take it easy i'll be back before lunch and i'll get that book somehow

01:07:56Is there anything that I can do to help yes, you can help me find out who's responsible for all this well

01:08:02You heard what the coroner said after mrs

01:08:05The police are due here first thing in the morning and I intend to get this thing sorted out before they get here

01:08:11What are you going to do?

01:08:13Well first i'm going to question miss robbins. Why miss robin because I think there's a lot more she could tell us

01:08:20Yes

01:08:21You realize of course that she came straight here from the nursing home

01:08:25She suffered a severe mental breakdown. Yes, I know

01:08:28Well that may account for her behavior

01:08:30Yeah

01:08:33All right, i'll get her bags

01:08:35Excuse me

01:09:01So

01:09:12Well, that's all the gear yes, i'm afraid she was quite adamant about staying at my place, so what can I do?

01:09:19I couldn't care less. Oh, I say

01:09:22hungry

01:09:23I wonder if I could borrow your copy of the simmons book on beef farming

01:09:28I've mislaid mine and i'm a bit lost without it

01:09:33Yes, i've got one somewhere I shall be a minute

01:09:58Ah

01:10:10Yes

01:10:12Thank you. I'm getting very untidy at the cottage these days. I can't find anything

01:10:16But there you are one of the advantages of having a wife to look after you

01:10:21I'm, sorry. I forgot

01:10:24Did you?

01:10:26Well, thank you for the book

01:10:28I'll bring it over tomorrow. Keep it

01:10:56So

01:11:26Hmm

01:11:34Hello

01:11:40Yes

01:11:56So

01:12:10Well vicky

01:12:12I'm, no absolutely certain as to how hargrove controls his bees

01:12:17You find it in the book all I needed to know

01:12:21But if the book was so important

01:12:23Why did he lend it?

01:12:26Oh

01:12:28It required a certain amount of cunning on my part to get it

01:12:33I left him very angry and of course I had his precious book

01:12:40Well now we can tell the police

01:12:43Yes

01:12:44First thing in the morning, but surely we can tell mr. Hawkins. No

01:12:49Mr. Hawkins is too upset

01:12:51Doris is still very ill

01:12:57I

01:13:03Thought we'd have some tea

01:13:24Would you like to pour

01:13:27Me

01:13:32What you doing

01:13:37Oh

01:13:39Just making a few preparations

01:13:45The bees are getting angry why they're getting ready to swarm

01:13:52But obviously you know that i've been lying the killer bees are mine not our groves

01:13:59Well, these are there i've got thousands and thousands of them

01:14:08Hargrove knew as well. He started experimenting himself

01:14:15So I fixed him

01:14:18So I fixed him

01:14:21You see vicky you're coming to the hargrove farms and got sent in a way

01:14:28Hargrove had suspected for some time

01:14:31That I developed a new strain of bees that I could send anywhere and attack anyone

01:14:38And he tried to find out how I did it

01:14:41So I arranged for my bees

01:14:44to attack him

01:14:46I'd placed the liquid which attracts the bees on one of his buckets

01:14:52Unfortunately, mrs. Hargrove got it on herself and the bees killed her

01:15:02Mind you everyone blamed hargrove

01:15:10Including you

01:15:12But I still didn't know how close he was to my little secret

01:15:16That was why I sent you to photograph his papers

01:15:21And after that i'm afraid I no longer had any use for you

01:15:26I made sure that you got the smell of fear

01:15:30on yourself

01:15:35You escaped well poor dolly's well, I I hadn't intended the bees to attack her

01:15:42Fortunately

01:15:46Fortunately, she dropped the cardigan and escaped with only a few stings

01:15:53You thought it was hargrove who tried to kill you

01:16:00So he came to me for protection and stayed here while I went to get rid of hargrove

01:16:08The simmons book was just an excuse

01:16:11Well, obviously I already had a copy but I pretended I wanted to borrow his

01:16:18Hargrove, I wonder if I could borrow your copy of the simmons book on bee farming. I

01:16:24I've mislaid mine and I'm a bit lost without it

01:16:29Yes, I'll go once in a while

01:16:37So

01:16:44And while hargrove was looking for the book

01:16:50I'd placed the liquid which attracts the bees on his jacket

01:17:07Oh

01:17:10You killed hargrove

01:17:12Uh, yes, I think he was trying to pinch my idea

01:17:15Do you know vicky there are very few people that I dislike but I couldn't stand hargrove. He was so rude

01:17:21I mean just imagine what would have happened if my bees had got into the hands of an irresponsible fellow like hargrove

01:17:26He treated mrs. Hargrove abominably. Don't leave me vicky

01:17:34I'm talking to you

01:17:38You see

01:17:40I have to kill you

01:18:07So

01:18:37So

01:19:07So

01:19:19Orphans don't move

01:19:37Oh

01:20:07So

01:20:16Don't you understand it was my jacket the bees were attacking and not you your jacket. Yes

01:20:21Manfred was here about an hour ago

01:20:23And obviously treated my jacket in some way with something so that his bees would attack me

01:20:28His bees killed my wife and attacked your daughter. Don't you understand? The man's a homicidal maniac

01:20:34Now first I will immobilize the bees

01:20:50I've made this especially for you

01:21:04So

01:21:21Foreign

01:21:33Oh, my God!

01:21:35Aah!

01:21:36Aah!

01:22:02Help me! Somebody help me!

01:22:33Goodbye, Vicky. I suppose the pop world will seem pretty dull after Seagull Island.

01:22:38Yes, it'll seem quite restful.

01:22:42Bye now.

01:22:43Bye.

01:22:49See you, Dave.

01:23:02Bye.

01:23:32Bye.
