0:00:26 > 0:00:29# All fired up and not nobody
0:00:29 > 0:00:31# Shouting loud
0:00:31 > 0:00:32# Beat the crowd
0:00:32 > 0:00:35# This girl's going far
0:00:35 > 0:00:37# Blow, Joe, blow... #
0:00:37 > 0:00:38'I had no idea.'
0:00:38 > 0:00:40'That she was a little bit famous?'
0:00:40 > 0:00:41'Not to this extent, no.'
0:00:45 > 0:00:46'Now, we've spoken with Mr Luscombe'
0:00:46 > 0:00:49and he says there must have been witnesses who saw him on the train.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53I definitely saw him at 11.30 that night at The Imperial.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56# ..I'm going to be a star
0:01:00 > 0:01:03# Once you told me I was worth nothing
0:01:03 > 0:01:04# Now I realise... #
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Jessie is dead.
0:01:11 > 0:01:12Coffee?
0:01:25 > 0:01:26We need an idea and very quickly.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Better than the last one, Stanley.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30It will be...
0:01:43 > 0:01:44Oh, Louis.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Look at her...
0:01:53 > 0:01:56How could this have happened?!
0:02:00 > 0:02:02I hadn't seen her for three days,
0:02:02 > 0:02:06I expect she thought I'd forgotten all about her.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12We'll help with the funeral arrangements, of course...
0:02:12 > 0:02:15but the dear child must have some family somewhere.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Well, they can hardly miss the press coverage.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22It's going to be a huge story.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23Why?
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Why can't they leave her alone now?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29But it's not going to be just their version people read.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44What are you doing up there, Stanley?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47What does it look like I'm doing? I always think better up here.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49I don't know why, it's bloody freezing!
0:02:53 > 0:02:55And what are you writing, Stanley?
0:02:55 > 0:02:56You're not going to like this, Eric,
0:02:56 > 0:02:59but we've got to do a special edition,
0:02:59 > 0:03:02get the real story out there - how much Jessie had already achieved,
0:03:02 > 0:03:04- not let it be blotted out by what's happened.- Well...
0:03:04 > 0:03:05No! No!
0:03:05 > 0:03:07We are not going to wait till the next edition.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10We absolutely cannot allow ourselves to be beaten by the competition.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13I'll go to Mr Wax if I have to, I'll bloody make him.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Stanley, I've spoken to Mr Wax. He's agreed.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17You have?
0:03:17 > 0:03:18What, you thought of it too?
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- Yes.- You realise it's not just a three page supplement we're doing...
0:03:21 > 0:03:24It's going to be 20 pages, with a lot of pictures.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26It will be a 32 page edition.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28That is what Mr Wax has agreed to fund.
0:03:33 > 0:03:38No, no! There will be absolutely no admittance to members of the press.

0:03:42 > 0:03:43Look at this!
0:03:45 > 0:03:47You know what, Sarah? We've got space for a lot more images,
0:03:47 > 0:03:49why don't you grab your photographs?
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Some of the shots that you've taken of the band.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53In fact, bring us everything you've got.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55- Everything I've got?! - Yes, go and get it now.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58We've got a chance to do something very different with your pictures,
0:03:58 > 0:04:00something that nobody else will have.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01Be careful...
0:04:01 > 0:04:04there are already one or two people in the street, keeping vigil.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11# My honeypie
0:04:11 > 0:04:17# I came to town and learned to love a little harder
0:04:17 > 0:04:24# You showed me how to play the game that I succeeded in
0:04:24 > 0:04:33# Now I can dream about as high as I can fall
0:04:33 > 0:04:41# I'm just on top of the world. #
0:04:48 > 0:04:55# Lord, lead me on
0:04:55 > 0:05:03# Lord lead me on
0:05:03 > 0:05:11# Take me by the hand
0:05:11 > 0:05:18# Lord lead me on
0:05:18 > 0:05:26# Show me the way ahead
0:05:26 > 0:05:34# And lead me on
0:05:34 > 0:05:42# Take my fears away
0:05:42 > 0:05:45# Lead me on
0:05:45 > 0:05:50# Lord, lead me on. #
0:05:50 > 0:05:54Mr Masterson has arranged for the reception to be right here,
0:05:54 > 0:05:59through the trees, so we won't have to be bothered with the press.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Louis...
0:06:01 > 0:06:04..this is Edith, Jessie's aunt.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- Delighted to meet you. - Very pleased to meet you too.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11I had no idea, you see, no idea at all, what Jessie did -
0:06:11 > 0:06:14singing with the band and everything.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18I don't read the newspapers or listen to the wireless,
0:06:18 > 0:06:19we don't have a wireless anyway,
0:06:19 > 0:06:22and her mother would have been so proud, you know!
0:06:22 > 0:06:25And, oh, I gotta thank this gentleman for being so generous.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Sorry. It's been so good of you to do all of this...
0:06:28 > 0:06:32A little reminder that there's another world out there.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37We're going where prying eyes can't follow.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42The police may well start to make their presence felt again, Louis,
0:06:42 > 0:06:44if they haven't solved this case soon.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47They'll get all our statements one more time, you mark my words.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Yes, I suppose.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51I think they're very close to making an arrest, in fact.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54This is the way, everybody. Down this little path, here.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57There's a surprise waiting for us beyond the trees.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00GLASSES CLINKING
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Ah, Stanley, I need to congratulate you.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08On what?
0:07:08 > 0:07:11On that special edition of the magazine. It was rather remarkable.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15Well, it was one edition that had to be serious, wasn't it?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17This is my mother, this is Lady Cremone.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Oh, Your Ladyship, how lovely to meet you.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22I was hoping we would be introduced.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23So happy to meet you.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25My son never stops talking about you.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28No, no, he does. Every time I see him he mentions you,
0:07:28 > 0:07:30you're quite his favourite person.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Parents! They embarrass you every time, don't they?
0:07:33 > 0:07:35He's always very interested in what you're going to say,
0:07:35 > 0:07:38what your opinion will be of the next issue of the magazine -
0:07:38 > 0:07:43he asks every time, "Do you think she'll like it, Mum?"
0:07:43 > 0:07:45What a beautiful place to hold a wake
0:07:45 > 0:07:48but I do hope my brother doesn't feel the need to make a speech -
0:07:48 > 0:07:52I fear he might break down completely in the middle of it.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55This may be the very last time we see each other, Your Ladyship.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Goodness, no!
0:07:58 > 0:08:01I still have my apartment in the hotel, do you remember?
0:08:01 > 0:08:04The, er, the Bertram family are coming to town...
0:08:04 > 0:08:06- owners of The Imperial.- Mm-mm?
0:08:06 > 0:08:10A murder in their hotel, it's something they can't tolerate.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Well, they can hardly blame you, Mr Schlesinger?
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Mr Masterson, er, this is my mother.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18Mrs Mitchell.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20How do you do?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23I'm going to say something extremely obvious to your son, Mrs Mitchell.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24And what's that then?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26I'm going to say, that when something finishes -
0:08:26 > 0:08:30not always, but frequently - something else begins.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33I'm sure that's true. Oh, yes.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35I expect your son may wonder what I mean by that.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37And what do you mean?
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Well, why don't we make an appointment, Stanley, you and I,
0:08:39 > 0:08:42and figure out what I mean?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44GLASS BEING TAPPED
0:08:44 > 0:08:46I just want to say something -
0:08:46 > 0:08:49nobody be alarmed, I'm not making a speech at all!
0:08:49 > 0:08:52But I just want to say...
0:08:53 > 0:08:54..the flowers,
0:08:54 > 0:08:59some of these flowers, were brought here especially by Mr Masterson.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03I know they look like they live here all the time but they don't,
0:09:03 > 0:09:05and I just want to thank him,
0:09:05 > 0:09:08and say what an appropriate gesture I think that was
0:09:08 > 0:09:12because Jessie's life was such a short life,
0:09:12 > 0:09:16so full of colour, so vivid...
0:09:16 > 0:09:19it brought such joy into my life,
0:09:19 > 0:09:21and into many of our lives here today...
0:09:22 > 0:09:25..and I just want to pay tribute...
0:09:30 > 0:09:34It's probably not a good idea after all to hold a wake in a glass house!
0:09:36 > 0:09:38We ought to get away from here.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40(Yes.)
0:09:40 > 0:09:41We could go to my house?
0:09:43 > 0:09:45My father's gone away for a few days.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Just showing Mr Lester my latest photographs, Lucy.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54If there are any callers, I don't want to be disturbed.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00We leave them at the funeral and here they are again!
0:10:00 > 0:10:03That's right. They're following you!
0:10:06 > 0:10:09I haven't quite finished developing them all.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11That is a spooky sight, certainly!
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Yes, this one looks rather hungry.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Quite a few of them look like they haven't had enough to eat.
0:10:19 > 0:10:24How dedicated they were to Jessie already, after such a short time.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29Exactly...I think one of them attacked Jessie in the hotel.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30One of these?
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Stanley thinks this too -
0:10:32 > 0:10:34they wanted Jessie all to themselves.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38People become so obsessed with their favourite performers,
0:10:38 > 0:10:40they want power over them, to own them.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Yes, but I never saw any of them inside the hotel, ever.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45They could have got in.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49I haven't told anybody what you've told me, I promise,
0:10:49 > 0:10:53but it can't have been Julian, I really believe it can't have been.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56I did see him that night inside the hotel.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59There'll be an explanation for that, there really will!
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Anyway, we don't need to think about that now.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04No, we don't.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13SHE MOANS
0:11:31 > 0:11:33I love you, Louis.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42DOORBELL RINGING
0:11:42 > 0:11:45LOUIS CHUCKLES
0:11:45 > 0:11:46What's the matter?
0:11:48 > 0:11:52I don't think I've ever done this, being watched by myself before!
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Miss Sarah, Miss Sarah?!
0:11:56 > 0:11:58- You're wanted.- Ignore it.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03'Miss Sarah, Miss Sarah, there's someone here for you, Miss Sarah!'
0:12:04 > 0:12:06That girl! I told her!
0:12:13 > 0:12:14It's the police, Louis.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19Ah, Mr Lester, I wonder if you could help us with some identification?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- Identification?- Yes we need to make an identification
0:12:22 > 0:12:25and we believe that you, as a witness, could help us.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Are you willing to do that?
0:12:27 > 0:12:28Of course.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33- Hello, Harry. - Good afternoon, Mr Lester.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44Now you saw Mr Luscombe in the hotel passage
0:12:44 > 0:12:46when he maintains he was on the train to Paris?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48I did, yes.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50And how many feet away from him were you when you saw him?
0:12:50 > 0:12:52I don't know...
0:12:52 > 0:12:5360, 70 feet.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55It would be at least that, wouldn't it?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Turn round, if you could, Mr Lester.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Now, who is that at the end of the passage, Mr Lester? Can you tell me?
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Now, is it Mr Gunson, who you know?
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Can you tell me for sure that that is Mr Gunson?
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Or is it Sergeant Thomas, who you don't know?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Or could that even be Mr Thornton from the Imperial Hotel,
0:13:16 > 0:13:18who was here just a short while ago?
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Which one is it, Mr Lester?
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Louis!
0:13:24 > 0:13:27This is nothing like it was, there's more light in the hotel.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28You can't tell me, can you?
0:13:31 > 0:13:34This is Mr Julian Luscombe's passport,
0:13:34 > 0:13:36he gave it to us entirely voluntarily.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37Please, have a look.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Now, it bears the correct stamp of the French passport control
0:13:40 > 0:13:41for the night train in question.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44It's the right date and, of course, there is only one night train.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45And then we have witnesses -
0:13:45 > 0:13:49a Mr Leopold Fitzmaurice, and, er, Mr Horace Verney,
0:13:49 > 0:13:52both of whom saw Mr Luscombe in their first class compartment
0:13:52 > 0:13:55and then saw him embark with them on the ferry.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Now, neither Mr Fitzmaurice nor Mr Verney are friends
0:13:58 > 0:14:02or acquaintances of Mr Luscombe, yet they identified him at once.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Apparently he never stopped talking the whole journey.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Is it possible, Mr Lester,
0:14:10 > 0:14:14that it was someone else that you saw at the hotel that night?
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Someone else who called your name?
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Is it possible that you can't be absolutely sure
0:14:23 > 0:14:24that you saw Mr Luscombe?
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- If you're asking me whether I'm absolutely sure...?- I am.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Then I suppose it is possible that I'm not.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Thank you, Mr Lester, that is extremely helpful.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Why have you done that?
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Well, you taught me how to play, so it's all your fault!
0:15:02 > 0:15:03Well, you're better than you think.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Only sometimes!
0:15:06 > 0:15:09All the wonderful battles we've had, I used to want them never to finish.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13Yes, sometimes they lasted for days.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16We've saved our lives with games...
0:15:16 > 0:15:20especially with these mice and frogs, and I still need them!
0:15:24 > 0:15:29Hello, Mummy, how was your little holiday? Was it a success?
0:15:29 > 0:15:32No, not really. Hotel was horrible.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33Some guests you didn't like?
0:15:33 > 0:15:37There were some guests I couldn't abide, yes, nor could your father.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41We had to move rooms twice, in fact, to get far enough away from them.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44There were some Jews in the hotel, Mummy? Is that what you mean?
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Unfortunately, yes, the hotel seemed to be crawling with them.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51You really wouldn't expect that in Cornwall, would you?
0:15:54 > 0:15:57How on earth did we come out of that person, darling?
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Don't you ever think that? How on earth are we a part of her?
0:16:01 > 0:16:04I think about it all the time. Nearly every morning.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09You won't leave me here alone with them? Promise!
0:16:09 > 0:16:11I'll never leave you, darling.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15I have plans, of course, great plans, at the moment!
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Mr Masterson's been so encouraging
0:16:18 > 0:16:22but wherever I go, I will always come back and I've decided...
0:16:23 > 0:16:27..I'm going to fill this house with Jews and Negroes...
0:16:27 > 0:16:30maybe we should do that for Mummy's next birthday, in fact!
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Although Jessie won't be able to sing for her now.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38I know you're so upset about Jessie.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42You can talk to me about it, darling, how much you miss her.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- You can tell me all about it. - I know...
0:16:48 > 0:16:49I know I can.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Come in, Mr Mitchell, come in.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15- I was wondering where you were. - I'm not late, am I?
0:17:15 > 0:17:17You've not been here before?
0:17:18 > 0:17:21No, I haven't. There's a lot to look at!
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Everybody runs to gold when times get hard
0:17:24 > 0:17:28but I didn't get where I am now by doing the obvious, Mr Mitchell.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30- No, I'm sure you didn't.- Stanley...
0:17:30 > 0:17:32You don't mind if I call you Stanley, do you?
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Of course not, Mr Masterson.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37You caused quite a rumpus at the German Embassy the other night,
0:17:37 > 0:17:38didn't you, Stanley?
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Well, that was a joke...
0:17:40 > 0:17:44- I thought a good one, as it happens. I just wanted to give them one...- No.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46There's no need to explain.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50A little mischief might well do them some good.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53You don't know much about the business I'm in, do you, Stanley?
0:17:53 > 0:17:55It's more than one business, isn't it, Mr Masterson?
0:17:55 > 0:18:00That's correct, Stanley...it's mainly real estate in the US,
0:18:00 > 0:18:02a little bit of coal, of course...
0:18:02 > 0:18:03a LOT of oil...
0:18:05 > 0:18:06In the Depression, like we're in now,
0:18:06 > 0:18:08there are certain things people still want -
0:18:08 > 0:18:14food, of course, soap, a little entertainment...and news.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17At the moment I don't own any of those.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Except Julian's English cheese business, of course!
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Yes...
0:18:22 > 0:18:23except for that.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Now, I don't want you to say anything
0:18:27 > 0:18:31- to what I'm about to put to you. - Not at all? Whatever it is?
0:18:31 > 0:18:32That's correct.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38I was very impressed by this edition of your magazine, Stanley.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40I have just written to Mr Wax
0:18:40 > 0:18:42proposing that I buy Music Express off him.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46I intend to find a new larger premises for the magazine
0:18:46 > 0:18:48and to expand it greatly.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53I am extremely interested in the possibilities of photo journalism.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02I don't think anybody's grasped its full potential.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04I intend to make Music Express
0:19:04 > 0:19:07the foremost entertainment magazine in Europe.
0:19:07 > 0:19:12I further intend to found a news magazine in the next year or so
0:19:12 > 0:19:15that will rival Time magazine, and then overtake it.
0:19:15 > 0:19:21I propose to make you editor in chief of Music Express magazine.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24That is if you want to take it, Stanley.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29No, don't say anything, anything at all.
0:19:29 > 0:19:34I want you to consider this, silently, for the next few days.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39Louis?!
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- Harry wants to see you. - What's it about?
0:19:42 > 0:19:43He will tell you.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49A request has come up.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51The Freemasons are holding their annual dinner
0:19:51 > 0:19:52for the new Worshipful Master
0:19:52 > 0:19:56in the rooms that they have here, and, er, rather surprisingly...
0:19:56 > 0:20:00Well, surprising to me...they've requested that you play at it.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04The Masons? That'll be interesting.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06I just wanted to check that you could manage it,
0:20:06 > 0:20:09to play at all - under the circumstances.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13Yes. We're going to keep on playing, that's already been decided.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15For the time being.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16What does that mean?
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Until it's decided otherwise.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21It is up to Mr Schlesinger who plays at this hotel.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23At the moment it is.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25CLATTERING
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Oh, no, not again!
0:20:28 > 0:20:30I don't believe it!
0:20:30 > 0:20:32I will not stand for it!
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Stop that!
0:20:34 > 0:20:36At once!
0:20:36 > 0:20:38RIGHT NOW!
0:20:40 > 0:20:41You!
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- Get out of here! I'll have you all arrested!- Run!
0:20:44 > 0:20:48- I don't care how hungry you are, you can't steal food from here!- Hurry!
0:20:48 > 0:20:50I'll have you all locked up!
0:20:54 > 0:20:57I cannot understand how people have so little pride,
0:20:57 > 0:20:59let themselves fall so low.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00People have to eat.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Not out of my dustbins, they don't.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Oh, and by the way, Mr Lester...
0:21:09 > 0:21:10..the police came round.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Said they wanted to take the sports car that belonged to Miss Taylor.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- I said, of course, they could. - Why did they want that?
0:21:15 > 0:21:17I believe they've got it into their heads
0:21:17 > 0:21:19they need to have a thorough look at it.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Mr Wax is selling the magazine?!
0:21:21 > 0:21:22It hasn't happened yet, no.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24To this American millionaire?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26He's one of the richest men in the world -
0:21:26 > 0:21:27why does he want our little magazine?!
0:21:27 > 0:21:30He sees great possibilities in it, that it'll grow enormously.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34- He's offered to make you captain of the team, has he? - Nothing's been finalised.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36I'm not supposed to be breathing a word about it to anyone
0:21:36 > 0:21:38but I just thought you should know.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Thank you, Stanley, for not keeping it a TOTAL secret.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Maybe Mr Wax won't sell after all?
0:21:43 > 0:21:46At the right price, most people will sell anything.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Mr Masterson has great plans for the magazine.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51He'll never give you any freedom, Stanley,
0:21:51 > 0:21:53you realise, it will all change completely here.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54I'm not sure about that.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- If he suggests things we don't like, we won't do them.- How?!
0:21:57 > 0:22:00You won't be able to control what's happening, Stanley!
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Erm, excuse us for a moment
0:22:02 > 0:22:05but I'm sure you won't mind the interruption -
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Her Ladyship just wanted to see in here.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11- Lavinia.- So this is your lair, Stanley?
0:22:11 > 0:22:13I've only ever seen it from the outside.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- It's usually a fraction tidier than this.- Is it?
0:22:16 > 0:22:18I always wondered what it would look like.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Well, it may not look like this for much longer.
0:22:21 > 0:22:22That sounds interesting.
0:22:22 > 0:22:27Er, maybe Your Ladyship would like to see the collection of back copies we have?
0:22:27 > 0:22:30They're in my office, if we would just return there.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31I would love that.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35I have, in fact, several bound copies of your magazine in my library -
0:22:35 > 0:22:37not many people can say that, I expect!
0:22:37 > 0:22:40And you are on the cover of one of our editions, of course.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44One of our very BEST covers, I always say!
0:22:46 > 0:22:49PHONE RINGING
0:22:49 > 0:22:50Good evening, gentlemen.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Have you ever seen the Bertram Brothers before, Harry?
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- I have not.- No.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06They never EVER come here.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12They could stop me getting another job anywhere in the hotel business.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15A few weeks ago, we were one of the most fashionable hotels in London
0:23:15 > 0:23:16and now...
0:23:18 > 0:23:21..I have a terrible feeling about this week, Harry.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- Have they said anything to you?- No...
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Have they spoken to you though, Harry?
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Just a few words, as I was showing them to their suite.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30And what did they tell you?
0:23:30 > 0:23:32That a murder at this hotel
0:23:32 > 0:23:35is one of the worst things they could ever imagine happening.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36(Yes...)
0:23:37 > 0:23:39..and unsolved too, of course.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41So far, yes.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48Every time I see them gather, I can't help being fascinated.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49Me too.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52There'll be a few dukes and marquises down there,
0:23:52 > 0:23:57some minor royals, perhaps, senior politicians, of course -
0:23:57 > 0:24:00all sorts of surprising people belong to the Central London Lodge.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Yes...
0:24:03 > 0:24:05I thought now the band's playing at the dinner...
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Isn't that so unexpected?
0:24:07 > 0:24:11Oh, yes...I'm quite jealous, I'd love to be there!
0:24:11 > 0:24:12But, now that's happening,
0:24:12 > 0:24:14I thought, maybe, I could do an article
0:24:14 > 0:24:16about the Masons, in this hotel.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18If you did, you'd never work again!
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Course, this may be the very last time they're here.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Because of the murder?
0:24:23 > 0:24:26I suppose we have to call it that now - the "murder".
0:24:26 > 0:24:30But yes, they may be moving on, colonising another hotel.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34I hear they've been scurrying around looking at all sorts of basements
0:24:34 > 0:24:36but I have no idea who's arranged for the band
0:24:36 > 0:24:39to play for them tonight - God knows what'll happen!
0:24:39 > 0:24:42You're looking surprisingly smart today.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45I have an important dinner appointment, that's why.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47In the new Atlantic Bar?
0:24:47 > 0:24:49- That's right.- So do I.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55They've re-decorated all of this...
0:24:55 > 0:24:58and what a lovely room!
0:24:58 > 0:25:01I collect beautiful rooms around London, Stanley.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02I don't see why one shouldn't spend
0:25:02 > 0:25:06as much of one's life as possible in them.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09You must join Her Ladyship, you mustn't keep her waiting.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Lavinia, you look magnificent, as always.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21I must just join that wonderful young artist, over there.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24I'm hoping to help her get her first exhibition,
0:25:24 > 0:25:25she's exquisitely talented.
0:25:27 > 0:25:28Stanley.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Arthur has a new project, it seems!
0:25:35 > 0:25:37To go with all the others!
0:25:37 > 0:25:41- We have a great deal to talk about. - Yes, I know.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43- I hope I'm not too late.- No, sir.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46- They all here?- Yes, they're all here, sir.- Thank you.
0:25:53 > 0:25:59So, what do you know about Mr Masterson? What's he really like?
0:25:59 > 0:26:00He is one of the few people I've ever met
0:26:00 > 0:26:02who always seems to be ahead of events.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Ah, but can one trust him?
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Funnily enough, I think one can.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10So you are involved in his acquisition of the magazine?
0:26:10 > 0:26:13I could be...
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Of course, it doesn't need my money
0:26:15 > 0:26:18but he needs somebody who lives here, who can be on the spot,
0:26:18 > 0:26:19while he travels the world.
0:26:19 > 0:26:24- So I'm going to be working for you? - Is that such a terrible prospect?
0:26:24 > 0:26:26I'm not even going to reply to that!
0:26:26 > 0:26:32If all this happens, we will both be working for Mr Masterson ultimately,
0:26:32 > 0:26:34but, yes, you'll be working for me, in a way.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38I knew, for some reason, this was going to happen, I just,
0:26:38 > 0:26:39I just thought it might!
0:26:39 > 0:26:42I don't know how that's possible, Stanley,
0:26:42 > 0:26:44because I didn't until yesterday!
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Suddenly I realised the way I was living was absurd -
0:26:47 > 0:26:51can't be half a recluse, who's ever heard of that?!
0:26:51 > 0:26:52Half a hermit!
0:26:53 > 0:26:57Living like that was never going to bring my boys back
0:26:57 > 0:27:02and now I know I want to do something with the rest of my life -
0:27:02 > 0:27:06get involved, Stanley, get really involved.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Where's your singer...?
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Carla.
0:27:10 > 0:27:11She'll be coming, don't worry.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20Are you usually down here with them, Harry, when they have their dinners?
0:27:20 > 0:27:21Yes, sometimes.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23I thought they had their own people.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25They do, but once or twice I've helped them out
0:27:25 > 0:27:27with their arrangements.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Of course, I've never been in the temple...
0:27:30 > 0:27:32never see them in their robes.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39Louis! There you are! Ha! This is going to be so good.
0:27:39 > 0:27:40Such fun!
0:27:40 > 0:27:42You will get your cue in just a moment.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53Best tipper in the hotel. A very generous man, Mr Masterson.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Well, I suppose he needs to be, doesn't he?
0:27:56 > 0:27:57Why does he need to be?
0:27:57 > 0:27:59If you smash up your hotel suite the way he does,
0:27:59 > 0:28:01you rather need to leave good tips, don't you?
0:28:01 > 0:28:03- I don't know what you mean? - Oh, come on, Harry.
0:28:03 > 0:28:04I saw his suite completely smashed up,
0:28:04 > 0:28:06you must have had to arrange to get it cleared up?
0:28:06 > 0:28:10- You probably had to do that a number of...?- I have no idea what you are talking about!
0:28:10 > 0:28:12- What are you so frightened of?- Frightened?
0:28:12 > 0:28:14- You think I'm the one who should be frightened?!- Yes!
0:28:14 > 0:28:16I think you're extremely frightened.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18What are you afraid of?
0:28:18 > 0:28:20You really think you're very clever, don't you?
0:28:20 > 0:28:22You think you can strut around with your musicians
0:28:22 > 0:28:23and get away with anything.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26You even think you're different from the other minstrel bands, don't you?!
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Well, let me tell you something,
0:28:28 > 0:28:30this hotel will be destroyed by what you've done!
0:28:30 > 0:28:32What I've done?
0:28:32 > 0:28:35(Go on, tell me what I've done, Harry.)
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Ever since you've been here I've seen it coming,
0:28:37 > 0:28:40I knew it was going to lead to disaster!
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Here I am.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Told you there was nothing to worry about!
0:28:44 > 0:28:46- And I'm early, aren't I? - Come this way, please.
0:28:46 > 0:28:47Perfect timing, Carla!
0:28:56 > 0:28:59Remember I saw you with her!
0:28:59 > 0:29:01I saw you with Jessie Taylor.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04I saw you arguing the night she was attacked!
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Everybody knows I had nothing to do with Jessie's death,
0:29:06 > 0:29:09I was playing for the Prince of Wales!
0:29:09 > 0:29:12And now I think the Masons are waiting for me.
0:29:15 > 0:29:20The Worshipful Master will now take wine with his personal guests.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45Now, don't worry, I know it looks a little...strange,
0:29:45 > 0:29:48it's just like an ordinary meal, really.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50They can be surprisingly jolly occasions,
0:29:50 > 0:29:52not much mumbo jumbo once we get eating!
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Have they ever had a singer in here before?
0:29:54 > 0:29:55No, no, don't think so.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57It was my idea to invite you, of course.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59I don't know how it's going to go down! We'll see!
0:29:59 > 0:30:03Ah, this is my friend, Leopold Fitzmaurice,
0:30:03 > 0:30:05we joined the Lodge together on the same day!
0:30:05 > 0:30:08He very much wanted to say hello to the band, didn't you, Leopold?
0:30:08 > 0:30:11I know you're going to liven up our dinner, no end!
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Leopold Fitzmaurice?
0:30:13 > 0:30:16Yes, that's his name, it's a grand name, isn't it?
0:30:16 > 0:30:17He was on the train with you, was he?
0:30:19 > 0:30:21The night train to Paris?
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Leopold and I are always on trains together!
0:30:24 > 0:30:27It's a pleasure meeting you.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31So, yes, Leopold saw me on the train...and Horace, over there.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Horace Verney, always seems to be in my compartment!
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Now, I really must get back.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41There's a first time for everything and this is absolutely a first.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55The Louis Lester band will now give us their first number.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Where's the bloody music?
0:31:11 > 0:31:13THE PARTY CHUCKLE
0:31:19 > 0:31:21(Louis...)
0:31:22 > 0:31:23(Louis, what are you doing?!)
0:31:31 > 0:31:34- The first number we're going to play is...- Speak up!
0:31:35 > 0:31:37This Girl's Going Far.
0:31:38 > 0:31:39(Yes.)
0:31:48 > 0:31:51# All my life I've been somebody
0:31:51 > 0:31:54# All fired up and not nobody
0:31:54 > 0:31:55# Shouting loud
0:31:55 > 0:31:57# Beat the crowd
0:31:57 > 0:31:59# This girl's going far
0:31:59 > 0:32:01# Blow, Joe, blow
0:32:01 > 0:32:02# Let 'em know
0:32:02 > 0:32:05# I'm going to be a star... #
0:32:08 > 0:32:09Stop the music!
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Pamela? What are you doing here so early?
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Er, we're going on somewhere after,
0:32:25 > 0:32:27if you'd like to join us, by the way, that would be delightful.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31- Have you not heard the news? - What news?- What's happened?
0:32:31 > 0:32:34Someone has tried to assassinate the American President.
0:32:34 > 0:32:35What?!
0:32:35 > 0:32:38Someone has tried to shoot Mr Roosevelt.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43They're all worried how this is going to affect the market.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46Do you think there'll be another crash, Walter?
0:32:46 > 0:32:50We need some more news, we need some reliable news.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55Ah, Louis, what a massive pity this is!
0:32:55 > 0:32:58I so wanted to see what they thought of the music!
0:32:58 > 0:33:02MUSIC: "Rosen aus dem Suden" By Johann Strauss II
0:33:03 > 0:33:05They're only playing music!
0:33:05 > 0:33:07This is ridiculous! An enormous story like this,
0:33:07 > 0:33:09they've got to have an extra news bulletin surely?!
0:33:09 > 0:33:11No, instead they just play Strauss waltzes,
0:33:11 > 0:33:13like they always seem to at this time of night,
0:33:13 > 0:33:14nothing can change that.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Well, I definitely don't think we're going to get any more news
0:33:17 > 0:33:21from the BBC tonight, maybe we could try another station from abroad?
0:33:21 > 0:33:24STATIC CRACKLING
0:33:26 > 0:33:29- Useless!- We'll just have to wait until the morning,
0:33:29 > 0:33:30for the newspapers.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Have you heard the news from the US?
0:33:34 > 0:33:36We have, we're just trying to find out more.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39I think I know where you can find out more.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41I suggest you come with me.
0:33:41 > 0:33:42To where?
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Oh, it's quite walkable.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53- Stanley!- Louis, how did it go with the Masons?
0:33:53 > 0:33:55All right? You must tell me about it sometime.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58I will, but I have to talk to you about something else.
0:33:58 > 0:33:59Not now, haven't you heard the news?!
0:33:59 > 0:34:01I heard they tried to kill the President.
0:34:01 > 0:34:05Yes, we don't know if he's badly injured, or dying, we don't know what's happened to him
0:34:05 > 0:34:07but Mr Masterson is taking us somewhere to find out.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09It's one of his, er, mystery tours, like his picnics!
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Erm, but I can't lose him, or I won't know where they've gone.
0:34:12 > 0:34:13Why don't you come?
0:34:15 > 0:34:19Seems we're the only ones mad enough to be out on a night like this!
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Come on, Louis, keep up or we'll lose him.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23So, where are we going, Walter?
0:34:23 > 0:34:27Is this another party you haven't told anyone about?
0:34:29 > 0:34:32You're here too, darling! Isn't that wonderful?
0:34:32 > 0:34:34How come she knows about this?!
0:34:34 > 0:34:35Come inside.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38Good evening, Sarah.
0:34:39 > 0:34:40Sarah...
0:34:41 > 0:34:43..do you know why we're here?
0:34:43 > 0:34:45No, I got a telephone call from Mr Masterson
0:34:45 > 0:34:47just as I was going to bed,
0:34:47 > 0:34:49he said I had to come here, he had something to show me.
0:35:00 > 0:35:01Where are we?
0:35:02 > 0:35:04Come on!
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Come in, come on, come on, come on!
0:35:12 > 0:35:14What the hell is Eric doing here?
0:35:14 > 0:35:16What an incredible wireless!
0:35:16 > 0:35:17It's fit for an emperor!
0:35:17 > 0:35:20This set here should be able to get us any station in Europe.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Let's see what we have.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25That's Radio Luxembourg,
0:35:25 > 0:35:27they at least have news right into the night.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30NEWSREADER SPEAKING FRENCH
0:35:30 > 0:35:34'Bonsoir. Le maire de Chicago a ete severement touche lors de la...'
0:35:34 > 0:35:37They're saying that the President-Elect Mr Roosevelt
0:35:37 > 0:35:40is not injured but the Mayor of Chicago has been shot
0:35:40 > 0:35:45and his condition is very serious, several other people are shot.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49'..la police continue son enquete dans l'affaire du meurtre
0:35:49 > 0:35:52'de la jeune chanteuse de couleur Jessie Taylor...'
0:35:52 > 0:35:56- Good heavens!- What? What is it? What are they saying?!
0:35:57 > 0:36:00They're talking about the murder in a London hotel,
0:36:00 > 0:36:05the young coloured singer, Jessie Taylor, who had sung for royalty...
0:36:08 > 0:36:11They're saying the police are now following new leads.
0:36:11 > 0:36:12I knew it would be a huge story
0:36:12 > 0:36:15but I didn't realise they'd be talking about it across Europe!
0:36:15 > 0:36:17I didn't realise you could speak French.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19You don't know everything about him!
0:36:19 > 0:36:23# And learn to love a little more
0:36:23 > 0:36:28# You showed me how to play the game
0:36:28 > 0:36:31# That I'd succeed a little
0:36:31 > 0:36:39# Now I can dream about as high as I can go... #
0:36:40 > 0:36:42I can't bear it!
0:36:42 > 0:36:45It's so sad to hear her voice, it's too upsetting!
0:36:51 > 0:36:54- What is this place anyway? - Don't you know?
0:36:54 > 0:36:56This is going to be our new home, Stanley.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08This is extraordinary. This is our new office? This room here?
0:37:08 > 0:37:09Not just this room.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11It's the whole building, Stanley.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14The whole building?! That can't be right!
0:37:14 > 0:37:15When did you buy it, Mr Masterson?
0:37:15 > 0:37:17Oh, only the other day.
0:37:17 > 0:37:18I bought the wireless first,
0:37:18 > 0:37:21then needed somewhere big enough to house it.
0:37:21 > 0:37:22He approached me just today -
0:37:22 > 0:37:25could I be so kind, would I look at the new premises
0:37:25 > 0:37:27and see if I approved?
0:37:28 > 0:37:31What an office this is!
0:37:31 > 0:37:34Even The Times would be jealous of this!
0:37:34 > 0:37:35Oh, they would indeed!
0:37:35 > 0:37:37YELPING
0:37:37 > 0:37:40There will, of course, be room for rather more staff
0:37:40 > 0:37:43and a large photographic department,
0:37:43 > 0:37:45where all your photographs will be
0:37:45 > 0:37:49and all the other photographers who will be working with you...
0:37:49 > 0:37:51or I should say, working for you.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54The use of photography is the future.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01It is the future, yes. Is, is that a job offer?
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Was that a job offer?!
0:38:03 > 0:38:04I rather think it was.
0:38:06 > 0:38:10This is so very exciting, wonderful.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13I should choose a room which I can have my office,
0:38:13 > 0:38:15perhaps I could have half of this room?
0:38:15 > 0:38:18Well, hang on, you're not having half of our room...
0:38:20 > 0:38:22Maybe this will be an appropriate room?
0:38:22 > 0:38:25Oh, yes, this is your room, all right.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27After all, it's the only one with a telephone!
0:38:27 > 0:38:30It's the first regular job I've ever had in my life, Stanley!
0:38:30 > 0:38:32- With an office! - The proprietor's office!
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Is it absurd me starting this sort of thing at my age?
0:38:35 > 0:38:37No, it's not absurd at all.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39It's the obvious thing to do, in fact...
0:38:41 > 0:38:43Of course, I might wish to be part of this too, Walter.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47We should forget about the silly cheese idea.
0:38:47 > 0:38:48Julian, the plans are decided.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51I will decide my own future, thank you!
0:38:51 > 0:38:54I absolutely refuse to be told what to do.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58I'm not a CHILD, Walter, you have to stop treating me like one,
0:38:58 > 0:39:00or I'll go and work somewhere else!
0:39:03 > 0:39:07What do you think, Louis? Isn't this so divine?
0:39:07 > 0:39:10We live in the age of the magazine, Mr Lester,
0:39:10 > 0:39:12they have the power to influence many things.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14Yes, I'm sure it will soon become
0:39:14 > 0:39:17the most talked about magazine in London.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21In London? Walter's not just interested in London!
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Don't be silly, Louis, how could he be interested in that?!
0:39:23 > 0:39:25His plans are much greater!
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Of course. My mistake.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31I'm sure you will conquer the world with it.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33After all, who's to stop him?
0:39:33 > 0:39:35Excuse me, for a moment.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40If only I had a tape measure with me,
0:39:40 > 0:39:44I could start planning the layout of the office immediately
0:39:44 > 0:39:48but maybe I can make some rough estimates. Here goes!
0:39:48 > 0:39:53Louis, I've got a new job - at least I think I have!
0:39:53 > 0:39:54I know, I heard...
0:39:54 > 0:39:56- We can have a room each, remember... - ..I need to talk to you.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59..and you can have a whole department dedicated to electrical music!
0:39:59 > 0:40:02Stanley...I think you should hear this too.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05Julian, when you get to Manhattan everything will be so different
0:40:05 > 0:40:08because you won't have time to worry about anything.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11You can take as much time as you want, learning one thing,
0:40:11 > 0:40:15then move on, up a step, to the next thing, the next problem....
0:40:15 > 0:40:18Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Darling, you're not interrupting.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22What Walter was saying was not important at all,
0:40:22 > 0:40:23not in the slightest...
0:40:25 > 0:40:27..just a little trip we might be taking.
0:40:29 > 0:40:30It's very cold, isn't it?
0:40:32 > 0:40:35I think I might try to light a fire in one of these rooms.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40- What on earth have you been doing? - I told the police what I thought I'd seen.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42You told the police you saw Julian in the hotel
0:40:42 > 0:40:43when he couldn't possibly have been there,
0:40:43 > 0:40:45when he was on a train to Paris?!
0:40:45 > 0:40:46He got his friends to LIE for him.
0:40:46 > 0:40:47That's ridiculous.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50What, you think all the passport controls are lying?!
0:40:50 > 0:40:52But then what did you do? You changed your story!
0:40:52 > 0:40:54I didn't change my story, I told them I couldn't be certain.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56I wish you hadn't told them about Julian.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59Don't you realise what a stupid thing it was to have changed your story,
0:40:59 > 0:41:00what possessed you?!
0:41:00 > 0:41:04The police will have been wanting to include you as a suspect all along.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06They can't, I was playing at the airbase.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08- They CANNOT make me a suspect.- Why not?
0:41:08 > 0:41:12They can try to prove that you could have made it back in time.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Pamela!
0:41:14 > 0:41:17I was just looking for somewhere to light a fire.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20I think next door might be better.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22There's a little coal there.
0:41:25 > 0:41:29You changed your story when you realised that Julian couldn't possibly have been there -
0:41:29 > 0:41:31- what do you think a jury will make of that?!- A jury?!
0:41:31 > 0:41:33It's not going to come to a jury?!
0:41:33 > 0:41:35I'm sure it won't, there won't be a trial or...
0:41:35 > 0:41:37I told you to be careful with the police,
0:41:37 > 0:41:39I warned you that they would start again.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45- Well, you need a lawyer, and very quickly.- All right.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47I'll go straight back to the hotel now and...
0:41:47 > 0:41:49No, you won't, stay away from the hotel.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Trust me, I know what I am talking about, the police may come for you in the morning
0:41:52 > 0:41:56- and you MUST try to be with a lawyer when they arrest you.- Arrest me?!
0:41:56 > 0:41:58They can't arrest me, there's no evidence!
0:41:58 > 0:41:59He's right, they can't arrest him.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04We need to get you a lawyer.
0:42:05 > 0:42:06Maybe Mr Masterson will help?
0:42:06 > 0:42:08I'm not taking any "help" from Mr Masterson,
0:42:08 > 0:42:10I promise you, that's the LAST thing I'll do.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13You need to stop thinking he's involved in some way, and Julian too,
0:42:13 > 0:42:16for goodness sake, it's only going to make things worse for you!
0:42:16 > 0:42:18'You can't say those things about them, you just can't!
0:42:18 > 0:42:20'You have to stop.'
0:42:20 > 0:42:24- They're just through there, for Christ's sake!- Maybe it's time they heard it.
0:42:24 > 0:42:28Arthur will find Louis a lawyer. He'll know somebody.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31Yes, yes, of course, Mr Donaldson.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Except he doesn't get up till midday.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10Hello? Who are you?
0:43:10 > 0:43:13If you're selling something, you've got to go to the back entrance.
0:43:13 > 0:43:16No, no, Violetta, these are friends.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18Welcome to you both.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20This is Violetta, my niece, Emily, her friend -
0:43:20 > 0:43:22they're staying for a couple of days.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24Nice surprise to see you both!
0:43:24 > 0:43:25We did telephone.
0:43:25 > 0:43:26Your housekeeper said...
0:43:26 > 0:43:28Said I was in bed.
0:43:28 > 0:43:30Well, the day has only just begun, hasn't it?
0:43:30 > 0:43:32Two of you obviously don't worry about sleep.
0:43:32 > 0:43:35- Come in, come in. - We need your help, Arthur.
0:43:35 > 0:43:37Of course, whatever I can do.
0:43:37 > 0:43:40How quickly can you get me a lawyer?
0:43:40 > 0:43:43A lawyer? About 45 minutes.
0:43:43 > 0:43:47No, I don't want to exaggerate, let's say 50.
0:43:47 > 0:43:49So, Neville, how soon can you come?
0:43:49 > 0:43:54Yes...I-I want you to see a friend of mine, Mr Louis Lester.
0:43:54 > 0:43:59That's right, he wants your advice rather urgently. An hour?
0:43:59 > 0:44:01No, no, that's excellent.
0:44:01 > 0:44:04If you can make it 50 minutes, that would be even better.
0:44:08 > 0:44:10Neville's one of the best lawyers in London.
0:44:10 > 0:44:13Thank you. I appreciate it.
0:44:13 > 0:44:17I have to meet my father at St Pancras, he's coming back today.
0:44:17 > 0:44:20His train's at 2.30 and he'll worry if I'm not there to meet him.
0:44:20 > 0:44:23Of course I haven't been home since last night
0:44:23 > 0:44:25but maybe I can get Lucy to...
0:44:25 > 0:44:28No, no, you must go...
0:44:28 > 0:44:30- I'll be fine here.- You will be.
0:44:30 > 0:44:33I-I'll make sure that, er, nobody enters the house
0:44:33 > 0:44:36until Louis has had some time with his lawyer.
0:44:45 > 0:44:47We have a warrant for the arrest of Mr Louis Lester
0:44:47 > 0:44:50on suspicion of murder.
0:44:50 > 0:44:53Well, what are you telling me about it for? Arrest him!
0:44:53 > 0:44:54He's not in his room.
0:44:55 > 0:44:59He must have heard you coming, mustn't he?
0:44:59 > 0:45:03PIANO MUSIC PLAYING
0:45:03 > 0:45:05Those are all of my travels, I'm afraid.
0:45:05 > 0:45:08Rather egotistical to have them all on display, I know.
0:45:08 > 0:45:12It was a wonderful time, Louis, Europe was a wonderful place.
0:45:12 > 0:45:17You could go anywhere, anywhere you wished without a passport,
0:45:17 > 0:45:18stroll across borders -
0:45:18 > 0:45:23- it was a heavenly time to be young, before the war.- Yes, must have been.
0:45:25 > 0:45:30- You're always marvellously calm, Louis.- Not today...
0:45:30 > 0:45:32I'm certainly not today.
0:45:32 > 0:45:34Well, you've been up all night, my friend.
0:45:34 > 0:45:36But I admire you so much, how you conduct yourself -
0:45:36 > 0:45:41if I'm allowed to say that - how you don't allow yourself to be cowered.
0:45:41 > 0:45:43No, I don't like to be, "cowered," Mr Donaldson...
0:45:44 > 0:45:47..and I refuse to panic now.
0:45:47 > 0:45:50That's right. No reason to panic.
0:45:50 > 0:45:55But just realising that you're going to be accused of a crime,
0:45:55 > 0:45:57and a very serious crime,
0:45:57 > 0:46:00and, probably, there's nothing you can do to stop that happening,
0:46:00 > 0:46:03and somehow the evidence is going
0:46:03 > 0:46:08to be...adjusted...so it points straight at you.
0:46:10 > 0:46:14Of course that's alarming, Louis, but the English police,
0:46:14 > 0:46:16they might not be as efficient as they claim to be,
0:46:16 > 0:46:19but they, they never wilfully hang the wrong man.
0:46:21 > 0:46:24DOOR OPENING
0:46:24 > 0:46:27- What are you doing with Mr Lester's cloak?- It's all right.
0:46:27 > 0:46:30- Time for tea!- It's not nearly time for tea.
0:46:30 > 0:46:31But I've made some cakes!
0:46:31 > 0:46:36Mm, marvellous looking cakes, you two!
0:46:36 > 0:46:38They look absolutely irresistible.
0:46:38 > 0:46:42There are three each... Oh, I forgot about him.
0:46:42 > 0:46:44I'm sure there'll be plenty for all of us.
0:46:44 > 0:46:46Better take a seat, Louis,
0:46:46 > 0:46:49I think we're going to be eating these cakes, whether we like it or not, for some time,
0:46:49 > 0:46:51certainly until Neville gets here.
0:46:51 > 0:46:54Mrs Courtney can make us all some tea.
0:46:54 > 0:46:57I see no reason why we shouldn't have two or three teas today -
0:46:57 > 0:46:59it's not against the law, is it, girls?
0:46:59 > 0:47:02Leave the knives alone, Violetta! Mrs Courtney can cut the bread
0:47:02 > 0:47:06and maybe she'll find some of her delicious damson jam
0:47:06 > 0:47:09that she keeps hidden. Oh, yes, I know about that...
0:47:09 > 0:47:11KETTLE AND GIRL WHISTLING
0:47:16 > 0:47:19TRAIN WHISTLING
0:47:24 > 0:47:26'He's arranged another train for us'
0:47:26 > 0:47:29and a jolly big picnic too, isn't that good?
0:47:29 > 0:47:33Except this time it's just you he wants to see, Louis.
0:47:33 > 0:47:35I just need to meet my father.
0:47:44 > 0:47:46It's better up here.
0:47:47 > 0:47:52# It's inviting, it's enticing... #
0:47:52 > 0:47:54She wants to go for a spin.
0:47:54 > 0:47:56# ..getting closer on the midnight run
0:47:56 > 0:48:00# My heart is a-pounding and a-pumping and a-pumping!
0:48:08 > 0:48:10# ..my runaway train stampeding... #
0:48:10 > 0:48:12I think this is the place.
0:48:12 > 0:48:15# ..stoker at the furnace fire
0:48:15 > 0:48:18# For night-time dreams and desire
0:48:18 > 0:48:21# It's inviting. #
0:48:33 > 0:48:34Hello?
0:48:36 > 0:48:37Anybody there?
0:48:37 > 0:48:41Hello, could you please open this door?
0:48:43 > 0:48:45Could you please open this door?
0:48:45 > 0:48:46DOORBELL RINGING
0:48:50 > 0:48:53'Police. I think you know why we're here...'
0:48:53 > 0:48:54They took the knives!
0:49:06 > 0:49:08GLASS SMASHING
0:49:30 > 0:49:32He's there! He's over there!
0:49:32 > 0:49:34He's here! He's here! Come quick!
0:49:46 > 0:49:47Stanley!
0:49:47 > 0:49:50Oh, hello, you look beautiful.
0:49:50 > 0:49:54I'm surprised you noticed...
0:49:54 > 0:49:57but then, this is such a rare thing.
0:49:57 > 0:49:58What do you mean?
0:49:58 > 0:50:00You and I alone.
0:50:00 > 0:50:03Ah, well, plenty of chance for that.
0:50:06 > 0:50:08You're here remarkably early.
0:50:08 > 0:50:10So are you.
0:50:10 > 0:50:12But then I don't want to miss a moment
0:50:12 > 0:50:14of Mr Masterson's farewell meal.
0:50:14 > 0:50:15It's not a farewell really,
0:50:15 > 0:50:17he's only going to the USA for business reasons.
0:50:17 > 0:50:20You're very well informed of his movements all of a sudden.
0:50:20 > 0:50:22Well, I've been in meetings with him all day.
0:50:22 > 0:50:25You know Julian's going to have a job in his office in America,
0:50:25 > 0:50:27for a few months at least.
0:50:27 > 0:50:28Yes, I heard that.
0:50:28 > 0:50:31My brother's going to be an American businessman
0:50:31 > 0:50:33and suddenly you're his partner too.
0:50:33 > 0:50:37- Mr Masterson's.- Not a partner...
0:50:37 > 0:50:39but definitely a colleague.
0:50:39 > 0:50:43This is such an enormous chance for me, Pamela.
0:50:43 > 0:50:46It certainly appears to be, Stanley, yes.
0:50:46 > 0:50:49LOUIS GRUNTING AND PANTING
0:50:55 > 0:50:57Watch out, you bastard!
0:50:57 > 0:50:58I'm sorry!
0:50:59 > 0:51:02I thought we'd get rid of the speeches
0:51:02 > 0:51:03before the serious eating has begun.
0:51:03 > 0:51:06It's always so much more relaxing that way!
0:51:06 > 0:51:09In spite of us missing one or two people...
0:51:09 > 0:51:12I'm sure our missing guests will be here soon.
0:51:12 > 0:51:15I just wanted to thank Walter, or should I say Mr Masterson,
0:51:15 > 0:51:18since he's my boss now, for not only laying on this meal...
0:51:18 > 0:51:21I thought we'd have the ballroom to ourselves for once,
0:51:21 > 0:51:23since we've spent so much time here.
0:51:23 > 0:51:26And it's a charming gesture, I think we'd all agree!
0:51:26 > 0:51:30So this meal is not only to bid farewell to Mr Masterson
0:51:30 > 0:51:32on his trip to the United States...
0:51:32 > 0:51:36where, hopefully, he will keep the President quite safe,
0:51:36 > 0:51:39and where, hopefully, too, he will not spend too much time.
0:51:39 > 0:51:44He'll be back, don't worry! He's only happy when he's travelling!
0:51:44 > 0:51:47But this is also to celebrate the great new venture
0:51:47 > 0:51:52we're embarking upon together, under Stanley and Eric's editorship.
0:51:52 > 0:51:56We understand, of course, that we're only a corner of your empire...
0:51:56 > 0:51:58Not a corner, never just a corner.
0:51:58 > 0:52:02..but we hope, in our own way, to make many waves.
0:52:02 > 0:52:05- Cheers.- I'm so sorry I'm late.
0:52:05 > 0:52:10I was held up, unavoidably!
0:52:10 > 0:52:11Forgive me.
0:52:14 > 0:52:16I'll explain everything in a minute.
0:52:31 > 0:52:32Carla has agreed to sing!
0:52:34 > 0:52:36Julian, it's the middle of the meal.
0:52:36 > 0:52:37When better?!
0:52:37 > 0:52:40Now, until Louis arrives,
0:52:40 > 0:52:42you'll have to make do with me accompanying you.
0:52:42 > 0:52:46Well, then we'll do one very simple song, shall we?
0:53:04 > 0:53:08Ah, Miss Peters, there's a telephone call for you,
0:53:08 > 0:53:09apparently it's urgent.
0:53:09 > 0:53:13# ..serenading to a tune
0:53:13 > 0:53:14# A pop at the bull's eye... #
0:53:14 > 0:53:17You must join us, Mr Schlesinger, please.
0:53:17 > 0:53:19# ..dancing on the moon... #
0:53:19 > 0:53:21Louis?
0:53:21 > 0:53:25I was just thinking about what I might do for this hotel...
0:53:25 > 0:53:26I've always liked it here.
0:53:28 > 0:53:30- 'Where are you?'- Near a church.
0:53:30 > 0:53:33- Where is the church? - You don't need to know that.
0:53:33 > 0:53:34'You can tell me where you are!'
0:53:34 > 0:53:36You don't trust me all of a sudden?!
0:53:36 > 0:53:38'Why would you telephone me if you don't trust me?'
0:53:38 > 0:53:40- I need somewhere to go.- Come here...
0:53:40 > 0:53:42and we'll work out the best plan.
0:53:42 > 0:53:45Come back to the hotel?! I'm not that stupid, Sarah!
0:53:45 > 0:53:47What are you saying? You don't trust any of us?
0:53:47 > 0:53:49You think we've all turned against you in two days?
0:53:49 > 0:53:51Can't believe you'd think like that, Louis!
0:53:51 > 0:53:55# I'm dreaming of the big time
0:53:55 > 0:53:58# A chance to dig a goldmine... #
0:53:58 > 0:54:02- Donaldson called the police. - 'He did not call the police!'
0:54:02 > 0:54:05They appeared at his house, he's just told me what happened.
0:54:05 > 0:54:08- They appeared at his house?!- 'Yes!'
0:54:08 > 0:54:10Of course they're going to visit everybody you know, Louis,
0:54:10 > 0:54:12they're looking for you.
0:54:12 > 0:54:13- No lawyer ever turned up. - He got delayed...
0:54:13 > 0:54:16Do you know what they did? They locked me in, as if I was..
0:54:16 > 0:54:18They wanted to let you sleep,
0:54:18 > 0:54:20they wanted to stop the children from disturbing you -
0:54:20 > 0:54:22you've got to believe me!
0:54:22 > 0:54:26Come here, Louis. This is where people can help you.
0:54:26 > 0:54:28How many times do I have to tell you I'm not coming back to the hotel?!
0:54:28 > 0:54:31'Then I'll meet you somewhere else, wherever you like!'
0:54:31 > 0:54:34The police are going to arrest you.
0:54:34 > 0:54:35'They have to find me first.'
0:54:35 > 0:54:37'You can't run away from them!'
0:54:37 > 0:54:39I can get out of the country.
0:54:39 > 0:54:42'You'll never manage that on your own! You have to meet me.'
0:54:42 > 0:54:45I can't bear the thought that you don't trust me,
0:54:45 > 0:54:48you have to trust somebody, Louis, you have to!
0:54:48 > 0:54:49Maybe I don't...
0:54:50 > 0:54:53I think this will be a lot easier if I don't trust anyone.
0:54:53 > 0:54:57- Louis, you have to remember... - What do I have to remember?
0:54:57 > 0:54:58Who I am? Is that what you mean?
0:54:58 > 0:55:01That is what I mean but not in that way.
0:55:01 > 0:55:05Please, listen to me...not everybody thinks like me and Stanley,
0:55:05 > 0:55:07not everybody wants to help you.
0:55:07 > 0:55:11No, Sarah...that's where you're wrong...
0:55:11 > 0:55:14that's what I've just found out.
0:55:14 > 0:55:17You think just the same as everyone else.
0:55:29 > 0:55:33Thank you for being so patient and don't be concerned,
0:55:33 > 0:55:34I'm going to see a doctor now.
0:55:38 > 0:55:41JULIAN PLAYING PIANO
0:55:45 > 0:55:48Was that Louis? Is he on his way?
0:55:48 > 0:55:51That was Louis...
0:55:51 > 0:55:52he's not on his way.
0:55:52 > 0:55:54Well, that is a disappointment,
0:55:54 > 0:55:57we won't have a proper chance to say goodbye.
0:55:57 > 0:55:59How strange that Louis isn't here,
0:55:59 > 0:56:02I wouldn't have thought he'd want to miss this.
0:56:04 > 0:56:06Stop playing, Julian!
0:56:07 > 0:56:09Julian, will you stop playing?
0:56:22 > 0:56:24GLASS TINKLING
0:56:27 > 0:56:29I have my own toast to propose...
0:56:31 > 0:56:33..to pay tribute...
0:56:33 > 0:56:38to how everybody seems to be working for you now, Mr Masterson.
0:56:38 > 0:56:40I'm not. Carla isn't.
0:56:40 > 0:56:42Everybody that is, except for me,
0:56:42 > 0:56:44and I'm sure that's how it should be
0:56:44 > 0:56:47because I have no speciality of any kind
0:56:47 > 0:56:51and am quite unqualified for regular work
0:56:51 > 0:56:56but I am sure it is a wonderful thing to be working for Mr Masterson
0:56:56 > 0:57:00and he will take care of my brother, I am sure, too,
0:57:00 > 0:57:03in his career over the ocean...
0:57:05 > 0:57:07I'll only be gone for a while.
0:57:07 > 0:57:10..because my brother is a very sensitive person.
0:57:12 > 0:57:16So...my toast...
0:57:17 > 0:57:18What is my toast?
0:57:20 > 0:57:21My toast is to you...
0:57:23 > 0:57:27..I am sure you will all prosper in the ways that you want,
0:57:27 > 0:57:29in what you've set your hearts on...
0:57:32 > 0:57:34..by working for Mr Masterson...
0:57:35 > 0:57:40..and to our benefactor, Mr Masterson!
0:57:40 > 0:57:42Hear, hear.
0:57:47 > 0:57:48Thank you, Pamela...
0:57:49 > 0:57:52..for your generous speech.
0:57:52 > 0:57:56and I'd just want to add, because we have an empty chair...
0:57:56 > 0:58:02I'm sure that before this meal is over, Mr Lester will be joining us.
0:58:02 > 0:58:03Well...
0:58:03 > 0:58:08it's, erm, copy night at the magazine...
0:58:08 > 0:58:11our last edition at the old place,
0:58:11 > 0:58:15and though it has been put to bed, think I'll go back there.
0:58:15 > 0:58:17No, no, no, Eric, I'll do this...
0:58:17 > 0:58:20I just, er, feel the need.
0:58:22 > 0:58:23Thank you.
0:58:42 > 0:58:46Our last edition in the old place, Rosie!
0:58:46 > 0:58:48I thought I'd take one more look.
0:58:48 > 0:58:50It's just what Mr Wax is doing too.
0:58:50 > 0:58:53Really? Didn't realise he was that sentimental.
0:58:53 > 0:58:56Are you sure you're doing the right thing, Stanley?
0:58:56 > 0:58:57Letting Mr Masterson buy our magazine.
0:58:57 > 0:59:01Absolutely...without a doubt.
0:59:01 > 0:59:04We'll have no control, at all.
0:59:04 > 0:59:08We have to grow! Don't you see?
0:59:08 > 0:59:10Rosie, this is going to change all our lives,
0:59:10 > 0:59:12not just for a few months, for ever.
