0:01:33 > 0:01:36Hello? Is this the police station?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Can you tell me where I could find the Falcon...Mr Tom Lawrence, please?
0:01:39 > 0:01:43Yes, lady, I can, but I don't know whether I oughta or not. Is it important?
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Yes, it's about a schoolteacher. He's been murdered.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Oh, well, if it's a murder case, that's different.
0:01:52 > 0:01:58Mr Lawrence's number is Bradbury, 2-4-4-5. Marenn Apartments.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Not at all.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Mr Bates, what department is this?
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- Homicide, why?- That includes murder, doesn't it?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Yeah. Oh, my gosh!
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- Operator, operator, trace that call! - Never mind that.
0:02:16 > 0:02:22- Would you be upset if I asked you to drive me to the Falcon's apartment? - No, not at all, Chief.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23Thank you.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32CAR ENGINE
0:02:35 > 0:02:36Mr Lawrence?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Yes?
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Nice!
0:02:46 > 0:02:47But why?
0:02:47 > 0:02:49You mean you don't remember me?
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Perhaps with another reminder like that it would come back to me.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55You've forgotten that lovely night?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58The flowers? The champagne?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Flowers, champagne! How long ago was all this?
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Three years ago.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07I don't see how it could have been. Where were we?
0:03:07 > 0:03:12- The opening of Luscious Lady, in Mother's dressing room. - You're not Joan Harris?
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Jane!- No wonder I didn't remember you.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- Most people grow up, but few so beautifully.- Please...
0:03:19 > 0:03:23Something terrible's happened. Professor Jameson was murdered.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25They're saying it was heart failure.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29With eyes like yours looking at him every day, it probably was!
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- It wasn't! It was murder. Marguerita prophesised it.- Marguerita?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- My roommate at Bluecliff. She's psychic.- Really?
0:03:35 > 0:03:40Yes. Everybody liked the professor. We can't figure out who'd kill him!
0:03:40 > 0:03:44So I am indebted to the murderer for sending you into my life.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48- No, I phoned the Homicide department. - Oh, you did.
0:03:48 > 0:03:53Well, let's go inside. I can think better with a tall glass in my hand.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55But I...
0:03:55 > 0:04:01I hoped we could start for Bluecliff right away! It's really very serious.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Yes, a matter of life and death.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08The police. I'll try to get rid of them.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- Good evening, Timothy. - Good evening, Lawrence.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15- Anything we can do to help or are we intruding?- I'm doing very nicely, thank you.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- Couldn't be she's got some dope on a murder, could it? - That's our department.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24That's just a joke. Schoolteachers are always being murdered.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Some of the most gruesome crimes.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33I suppose that's another joke of hers, snatching your car.
0:04:33 > 0:04:39- I never thought she'd do a thing like that.- Maybe now you'll tell us where that school is.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40Of course.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Crownhill Convent, just off the drive.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- Ask for the Mother Superior.- Gotcha.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- Can I help you?- Well, I...
0:05:25 > 0:05:27No, thanks. Not just yet.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Thanks all the same.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38- Pick you up next trip. Don't keep me waiting.- We won't.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41How d'you do? Is this the Bluecliff bus?
0:05:41 > 0:05:43What the sign says, don't it?
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- Oh, so it does.- This is for school people only.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Don't tell me those are college students.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57They're the caretaker's daughters. Drive me crazy.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- I'm connected with the school too, in a way.- What way?
0:06:01 > 0:06:06- I have a daughter myself.- What's her name?- Smith. Her name's Smith.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07Beanie Smith?
0:06:07 > 0:06:09The very one. Do you know her?
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- Yes, of course.- Naturally.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Well, you might s well get in.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23INAUDIBLE
0:06:29 > 0:06:33- There's Marguerita. Pretend you don't see her.- Why?
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- She's psychic!- She has second sight! - She can see into the future.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38She gives me the willies. Don't look!
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- Stop the car.- Stop the car?!
0:06:44 > 0:06:49- Shouldn't you give her a ride to school?- All right, but you're asking for trouble.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59She seems to have disappeared.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03- She did not.- She went down the Devil's Ladder.- Of course.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Did you look into her eyes?
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- Why, yes.- Uh-oh! She put the hex on you.- Now anything could happen.
0:07:16 > 0:07:21- You could be struck by lightning. - Or kicked by a mule. - Or drowned in the bath.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24They're plain bloodthirsty! Get back in the car.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Come on!
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- Look what the three Ughs brought in. - Let's have a closer look.
0:07:53 > 0:07:59- I think I'll get out here.- Go to the office. Miss Keyes will get your daughter.- Daughter? ..Oh, yes!
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Oh! Pardon me!
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- Oh, hello.- ALL: Hello!
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- Do you know where I can find Jane Harris?- I know.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12She's due at Psy, and so are we.
0:08:12 > 0:08:17- Do you mind if I come along? - Visitors during class is forbidden.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19BELLS RING
0:08:23 > 0:08:26BELLS CONTINUE TO RING
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Oh! There goes Elsie again!
0:08:56 > 0:09:00..Thoroughly explored, nor fully understood.
0:09:00 > 0:09:06What may appear to be the organic adaptation of a species to environmental change may in fact
0:09:06 > 0:09:08have a much more simple answer.
0:09:08 > 0:09:14Those individuals possessing characteristics of the new environment
0:09:14 > 0:09:16are most likely to survive.
0:09:18 > 0:09:23Having survived, they can then reproduce and intensify those characteristics
0:09:23 > 0:09:25which permitted their survival.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29- Yes, what is it?- Oh, don't let me interrupt you.- One moment.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33I don't want to appear rude, but there is a strict rule here - no visitors.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37I'm not a visitor. You see, the reason I came here..
0:09:37 > 0:09:41- Dr Graelich, this gentleman is a psychologist too!- You don't say!
0:09:41 > 0:09:46- Yes, from Oxford. A famous one! - You flatter me. - Modesty in our profession!
0:09:46 > 0:09:49We so seldom meet famous psychologists.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54- We must take advantage of you, Dr... - Lawrence...Smith.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- Dr Lawrence-Smith. Hyphenated, of course?- Of course.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Dr Lawrence-Smith, the lecture is yours.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06I'm completely unprepared.
0:10:06 > 0:10:13You must be working on something, some theory or experiment. We should be most interested.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Well, er, yes,
0:10:15 > 0:10:20but it's a recent development, you understand. Very recent.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24It has to do with certain criminal impulses,
0:10:24 > 0:10:27especially those induced by auto-suggestion.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32The behaviour, for example, of any person who would take something which belonged to someone else.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36You may use technical terms - these ladies will follow you very well.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40I shall get down to cases, then.
0:10:40 > 0:10:45Before a full understanding of my working hypothesis,
0:10:45 > 0:10:49perhaps I had better explain that although many schools of thought differ,
0:10:49 > 0:10:52especially certain liberals and radicals,
0:10:52 > 0:10:57it is hardly necessary for me to point out that that only goes to verify this principle.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02This can best be illustrated and in general it may be said...
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Perhaps I'd better clarify that.
0:11:09 > 0:11:14So, in explanation of this seeming paradox, it is necessary to consider all contributing factors.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Any questions up to this point?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19To sum up, then, let me repeat,
0:11:19 > 0:11:21that in the final analysis,
0:11:21 > 0:11:26all this must be viewed in the light of recent developments.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- There he is.- That isn't my old man! - That isn't your father.- No!
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- But he can pitch it for him any time he wants to.- Miss Smith!
0:11:33 > 0:11:34- GIRLS LAUGH - Girls!
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- There must be some confusion here. - It's simple.
0:11:37 > 0:11:43- Surely, Miss Keyes, you know Dr Lawrence-Smith?- If I may explain...
0:11:43 > 0:11:49- This is hardly the time, nor the place. We had better go to my office.- I shall be delighted.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51- You'll come with us?- Certainly. - You may go.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58You might read chapter ten in conjunction with the next chapter.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01GIRLS ALL TALK AT ONCE
0:12:01 > 0:12:05Now, if there is any possible explanation, Dr Lawrence-Smith.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09- Er, Tom Lawrence. No hyphen, no doctor.- How disappointing!
0:12:11 > 0:12:13It's, er, not really very complicated.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17There's a rather large insurance policy on Professor Jameson.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21I am a special investigator, sent to investigate his murder.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Murder? Where did you get that idea?
0:12:23 > 0:12:27We received a tip. Anonymous, of course. They always are.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30There was nothing unusual about Professor Jameson's death.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- Not in the slightest.- Wasn't there?
0:12:33 > 0:12:37Our informer said something about a girl named Marguerita.
0:12:37 > 0:12:43- Oh!- Is it true she prophesised a murder here at Bluecliff? - I believe she did.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47Marguerita predicts many things - the weather, examination results...
0:12:47 > 0:12:53- According...- Mr Lawrence, you don't understand these girls. They're secluded here. Not much happens.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56The simplest things set their imaginations running wild,
0:12:56 > 0:12:58until an ordinary death becomes a murder.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Unfortunately, Miss Serena has always been a problem.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05She has these delusions like daydreams.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09Half deliberate, half involuntary, but they have no practical interpretation.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Serena. I've heard that name.
0:13:12 > 0:13:18- Yes. Her father was St George Serena, the composer.- I heard his last symphony a year ago.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Just before he died.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23He drowned, didn't he? Wasn't there some talk, a rumour?
0:13:23 > 0:13:28There is every reason to believe it was suicide. He was highly neurotic.
0:13:28 > 0:13:33- In plain words, he was insane. - I'll put that in my report.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38- If you'll excuse me, I have a class waiting.- Yes, of course. Thank you.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45I don't suppose an investigation can be avoided.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- Oh, I shall be as discreet as possible.- I hope so.
0:13:48 > 0:13:53You know how the newspapers are. We can't afford a scandal. We have a reputation to maintain.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56The best families and the fattest pocket books.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01- I never would have expected an insurance investigator to be so corny, Mr Lawrence.- Miss Keyes!
0:14:01 > 0:14:07I get those expressions from the girls. Sometimes they're surprisingly apt.
0:14:07 > 0:14:12- Miss Keyes! ..Oh, I didn't know! There's a call for Professor Jameson's room.- Who is it?
0:14:12 > 0:14:16- I don't know.- Didn't you answer it? - Me? From a dead man's room?!
0:14:16 > 0:14:19If anyone had answered, I'd have passed right out. Cold!
0:14:19 > 0:14:25- You can see how your rumour started. - No-one's been there since he was murdered.- You mean since he died.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27BUZZING
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Hello.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Hello? Hello!
0:14:33 > 0:14:35It's probably just a crossed wire.
0:14:35 > 0:14:41- Don't you think we'd better find out?- If you wish, but it seems such a waste of time.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48BUZZING
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Attractive cottage, isn't it?
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Apparently someone else thinks so, too.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Mary! What in the world?
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Oh, I...
0:15:19 > 0:15:21I didn't know who it was.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Mr Lawrence, this is Mary Phoebus, our music teacher.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28- She's really not addicted to house-breaking.- How do you do?
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- Tell me, where you trying to telephone from here?- No, I...
0:15:32 > 0:15:33Oh...
0:15:33 > 0:15:36It was so dark, I must have knocked it over.
0:15:36 > 0:15:41That's a curious way to look for something, in the dark. You were looking for something, weren't you?
0:15:42 > 0:15:43I...
0:15:43 > 0:15:46They're Professor Jameson's poems.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49The room was vacant. I was afraid someone might steal them.
0:15:49 > 0:15:54In all my years in the insurance business, I never heard of anybody stealing poetry.
0:15:54 > 0:15:59He was going to publish them and give the proceeds to the library fund.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03They're very good poems. Beautiful, really.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06May I?
0:16:09 > 0:16:12A man puts a good deal of himself into poetry.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16I'd like to check my impressions of Professor Jameson.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Sherlock Holmes, reconstructing the personality from moot evidence.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22There's something to be said for his methods.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26The man who lived in this room, for example.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29A man who perhaps demanded too much from people
0:16:29 > 0:16:31and had to live in books to get it.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35A quiet man, who spent most of his time alone,
0:16:35 > 0:16:37a shy man who didn't try to assert himself,
0:16:37 > 0:16:39never thought of impressing people.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43He probably took refuge in a world of his own imagination.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48- How easily a man like that could have been dominated by others. - More psychology, Doctor?
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Or just a little clairvoyance on the side?
0:16:52 > 0:16:56- Mr Lawrence wanted to look over Professor Jameson's effects. - Naturally.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01Well, I, er... If you'll excuse me, I think I'd better go.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05I'll see you get these back.
0:17:05 > 0:17:11Mary Phoebus! Do you know what she was doing, fussing around about Alec's poems!
0:17:11 > 0:17:14It does seem everything is conspiring to endorse that rumour.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18- But I'm sure you want to find out what actually happened.- Hm-mm.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21I think I can give you the information you're looking for.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25I shared this college with Professor Jameson. He was in very poor health.
0:17:25 > 0:17:30- Anaemia was perhaps the most serious, but you know that from your records.- Records?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Oh, yes, of course. We have all that information.
0:17:33 > 0:17:38As you observed, he lived such a narrow life it finally suffocated him.
0:17:38 > 0:17:43- Officially, the reason I gave for his death was heart failure.- You signed the death certificate?- Yes.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47Dr Graelich is a physician as well as a psychologist.
0:17:47 > 0:17:54- Well, I'm sorry I gave you all this trouble.- Now of course you can give your company the facts of the case.
0:17:54 > 0:17:59Yes, I will, when I know them myself.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Hi, Daddy!
0:18:04 > 0:18:05Oh, hello, Beanie.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13- Is anything wrong?- I was just thinking, you impersonating my old man!
0:18:13 > 0:18:18- He runs the billiard hall...- Over in Brooklyn?- Yeah! How'd you know?
0:18:18 > 0:18:23- Was it his idea, sending you here? - He thought I'd like, that society page stuff.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- Can you tell me where I can find Jane Harris?- Jane?
0:18:26 > 0:18:31- What do you want her for?- Oh, no - this is strictly business.
0:18:31 > 0:18:32You know...
0:18:32 > 0:18:36I gotcha. She's over at the aud. Right down that walk.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Thank you, Beanie.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28'Tis but thy name that is my enemy!
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Thou art thouself not a Montague.
0:20:31 > 0:20:32What's a Montague?
0:20:32 > 0:20:35It is nor hand nor foot, nor arms nor face,
0:20:35 > 0:20:40nor any other part belonging to a man. I'll be some other name.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41What's in a name?
0:20:41 > 0:20:47That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- LAUGHTER - Jane.
0:20:50 > 0:20:55- This is the final rehearsal and no time for clowning. - I was rehearsing my lines!
0:20:55 > 0:20:59I told you this was your last chance. Buckle down or flunk drama.
0:20:59 > 0:21:04- That's the one course I promised myself you would pass.- But, Miss... - All right.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Why haven't you been practising?
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- Marguerita's my partner, and... - Marguerita?
0:21:12 > 0:21:13Where is she?
0:21:13 > 0:21:15I'm here, Miss Gaines.
0:21:15 > 0:21:20I'm afraid it's my fault. I excused Marguerita from rehearsal.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24She had a curious feeling about the fencing. A premonition.
0:21:24 > 0:21:25I thought as much.
0:21:25 > 0:21:30You may get away with this elsewhere but I won't put up with it.
0:21:30 > 0:21:35- But you don't understand. - I understand very well. Mildred, give Marguerita her foil.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42Take that foil.
0:21:53 > 0:21:58- FOIL CLATTERS - I can't stand the touch of it! It's evil!
0:21:58 > 0:22:02Psychic! A cheap, childish bid for attention, that's what it is.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Look out! Elsie's going to faint!
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Get some water.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08You shouldn't be in here.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14I'm looking for a car, preferably my own.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17- Oh, that.- Yes, that.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21It's in the village at the garage. I just took it to get you up here.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23A bad rehearsal means a good performance.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Do you still think it was murder?
0:22:26 > 0:22:27Why?
0:22:27 > 0:22:29We can't talk here. She'll hear us.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35- You mean Miss Gaines?- She knew Professor Jameson better than anyone.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39Your mother's very worried about you. She feels...
0:22:39 > 0:22:45- Did I keep the dragoness at bay long enough?- It's your own fault. You have no right to be so young.
0:22:45 > 0:22:51- I'm sorry, I didn't know... Oh, sorry! This is a friend of my mother's. He...- Tom Lawrence.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55- I hope you'll forgive my mistake. - I'm afraid I was rather rude.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Take a very unusual woman to be rude and charming at the same time.
0:22:58 > 0:23:03You use compliments strategically. Mary, take off for a while.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08- You have to leave here as quickly as you can.- I don't see why.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12- I'm serious. Marguerita says there's going to be another death.- Jane!- >
0:23:12 > 0:23:17I don't want anything to happen. She said it would be some elderly person.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- You'll have to go.- Impossible! I have a class.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31- What about the phone?- With half of the town listening in?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Well, all right. I'll manage somehow.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04HORN HOOTS
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Wooooah, Buttercup!
0:24:10 > 0:24:14- Where are you going?- No place.- We can't go off the campus.- Naturally.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18- Will it help if I join you charming ladies?- Really?- Will it!
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Giddyup, Buttercup!
0:24:21 > 0:24:25- You're shadowing Miss Gaines, aren't you?- What gave you that idea?
0:24:25 > 0:24:29- Do you think she bumped off Professor Jameson?- Why should I?
0:24:29 > 0:24:35- We've deducted it.- You aren't Beanie's pop.- You go around asking everyone where Jane Harris is.
0:24:35 > 0:24:40- Why does that make me suspect Miss Gaines of murder?- We know who you are.- We made Jane tell us.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44The Falcon! Holy cow!
0:24:48 > 0:24:51THE GIRLS GIGGLE
0:24:52 > 0:24:56- Some day we're gonna be detectives. - And baffle the police.- Like you!
0:24:56 > 0:24:58I wouldn't like to have you on my trail.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04I say, you could start being detectives now.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06- You're not fooling?- Honestly?
0:25:06 > 0:25:10Let's see if one of you can find where Miss Gaines went.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21I guess the car's yours all right.
0:25:22 > 0:25:23We found her.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25At the undertaker's.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Of all places!
0:25:28 > 0:25:30I'll get the car later.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43If you just happened to be outside a drugstore,
0:25:43 > 0:25:47and just happened to find half a dollar, what would you buy with it?
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- Ice cream.- Sodas.- Naturally!
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Hello!
0:26:09 > 0:26:14- What are you doing here?- I wanted to ask Mr Harley a few questions.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17- Routine report for the insurance company.- He's busy.
0:26:17 > 0:26:22He told me to come back in half an hour. Would you like me to show you around our little town?
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Well, now we're getting somewhere.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40BANGING CONTINUES >
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Can I help you?
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Yes. You can get out of here.
0:26:49 > 0:26:54- Miss Gaines said you'd be waiting for me.- I don't care! I don't allow anyone in this room.
0:26:54 > 0:27:00Oh, I'm quite at home here. Don't forget the potassium iodide.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Just what do you want?
0:27:05 > 0:27:09- Professor Jameson died last week. - I know that. I embalmed him.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13- What did he die of?- The death certificate says heart failure.
0:27:13 > 0:27:18Dr Graelich told me that much, but you could tell me a lot more.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20I don't know what you're talking about.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24I'm talking about that potassium iodide I just handed you.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Not to mention marquis solution,
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Mayers reagent,
0:27:32 > 0:27:35formalin.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39With chemicals like these, you can make a post-mortem test for every drug in the book.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42- What did you find?- Heart failure.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Oh, not that again, Mr Harley. That's so stubborn of you.
0:27:45 > 0:27:51Now we'll have to exhume the body, make the same tests all over again.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53I'd like to see that.
0:27:54 > 0:27:55All right.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Now get out of here.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Codeine, huh?
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Seven grains.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17- That's plenty.- It was an accident! An overdose of sleeping tablets.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20No-one ever took that big an overdose by mistake.
0:28:20 > 0:28:25- What does it say on that death certificate?- Wait a minute! I didn't sign that. I'm protected.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28- Dr Graelich wanted to cover this up, not me.- Why?
0:28:28 > 0:28:32He didn't think suicide would sound good for a school like Bluecliff.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35How do you think murder will sound?
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Hop in. I'll drive you back to school.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51- No, thank you. I'm looking for my bicycle.- You'll have a long look.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54I sent it back with the Ughs some time ago.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11You'll have to talk some time.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14You really can't walk out on me.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18By this time the Ughs will have told everyone I'm madly in love with you.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22Imagine if you came limping in covered with dust and dishonour!
0:29:33 > 0:29:35It's a lurid name, Devil's Ladder.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39Isn't it? But the Buccaneers were low on people.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42They cut this stairway in the side of the cliff to bring their loot up.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46- And doubtless throw their captives down.- It's an ideal spot for it.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48Must be a great temptation to you.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04- You'll have one?- Thanks.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10I've stood here many times, for hours.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17I can't explain the sense of freedom it gives me.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20I watch the waves beating to the shore.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24I wonder if nature is putting on a show just for me.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28To let me know how powerful she can be.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32It seems lonely to me.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Wind and sea.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Sort of lost.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39As though they were searching for something.
0:30:41 > 0:30:42Who isn't?
0:30:44 > 0:30:50Supposing you were searching for something, found it and then lost it, how much worse that would be.
0:30:50 > 0:30:55He who wears loneliness wears armour. Stands unafraid beneath a lonely sky.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58The heart that loves is left unguarded.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00The heart that loses love must surely die.
0:31:00 > 0:31:05Professor Jameson wrote those lines and dedicated them to VG. That could be Vicky Gaines.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Did you have to do that?
0:31:07 > 0:31:09You think I don't know that poem?
0:31:09 > 0:31:14That I didn't hear standing right here, with Alec so proud to tell me he'd written it just for me?
0:31:14 > 0:31:18Do you know what it's like trying to remember every word I said?
0:31:18 > 0:31:22Wondering over and over what I'd done to make him kill himself!
0:31:23 > 0:31:28He must have been very much in love with you. Probably thought you loved him, too.
0:31:28 > 0:31:29He was kind.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31And so alone.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36He must have found out that... I just felt sorry for him.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39That's why he didn't want to live.
0:31:39 > 0:31:45They said it was an accident, that he was tired, ill.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47I know they were trying to comfort me.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49Who said it was an accident?
0:31:51 > 0:31:54Miss Keyes. Dr Graelich.
0:32:15 > 0:32:21- I hope our Charlotte has a better part this year, Miss Keyes.- I'm sure... Sorry, if you'll excuse me.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26- <- Good evening.- Good evening.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30- Dr Graelich, can I see you a minute? - Certainly.
0:32:32 > 0:32:33Just one question.
0:32:33 > 0:32:39- I'd like to know why you falsified Professor Jameson's death certificate.- It was not falsified!
0:32:39 > 0:32:43Heart failure induced by an overdose of sleeping tablets!
0:32:43 > 0:32:48Seven grains. That's a pretty big accident. You didn't say anything about suicide.
0:32:48 > 0:32:55- We try to keep anything sensational out of the newspapers.- What made you think there'd be a scandal?
0:32:55 > 0:33:00Miss Keyes was deathly afraid it might lead to talk about the faculty.
0:33:00 > 0:33:06- To be frank, it might have revealed that both the professor and I were interested in Vicky Gaines.- Really?
0:33:07 > 0:33:11Well, knowing Miss Gaines, that's quite understandable.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14That explains why you sent her to warn the coroner about me.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18That was Miss Keyes' suggestion! I merely follow her direction.
0:33:18 > 0:33:23- I'll have to find out from Miss Keyes.- It's the overture.- Thank you.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25We can talk afterwards if you like.
0:33:27 > 0:33:33- Two hours, just to get in and ask questions.- You never know when you might pick up some education.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39Just ask for the Mother Superior!
0:33:39 > 0:33:44- I oughta jail you for sending us on a runaround. You knew there was a murder here!- Murder?
0:33:44 > 0:33:50- A guy named Jameson is dead and his insurance company is screaming for an investigation.- Insurance company?
0:33:50 > 0:33:54- Yes.- We've a few questions to ask. Where's this dame Keyes?
0:33:54 > 0:33:57I can save you all that trouble.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00It was murder. I'll give you the killer if you wait.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03- Who was it?- Why, er...
0:34:03 > 0:34:05< INAUDIBLE
0:34:09 > 0:34:11I'd rather not say.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15- Was it that dame?- Oh, no, no, of course not.- Oh, no, of course not(!)
0:34:16 > 0:34:18BELL RINGS
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Hear ye, hear ye.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27To the friends of fair Bluecliff, parents, trustees,
0:34:27 > 0:34:30we bring you our festival and hope it will please.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33A carnival of laughter, drama and song.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36Up with the curtain - we'll take you along.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38APPLAUSE

0:35:39 > 0:35:42We want to talk to you, sister.
0:35:42 > 0:35:43Ssh!
0:35:47 > 0:35:51- Look, lady, we've got business... - No-one is allowed backstage.
0:35:51 > 0:35:56- We're with the Homicide department. - We have some questions. - Ask them after the performance.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00# I came all the way from Brooklyn
0:36:00 > 0:36:03# To improve my education
0:36:03 > 0:36:04# And they sent me here
0:36:04 > 0:36:09# For that veneer of high sophistication
0:36:09 > 0:36:13# At Bluecliff we are taught to be
0:36:13 > 0:36:16# The essence of propriety
0:36:16 > 0:36:19# We study French and history
0:36:19 > 0:36:24# While learning to be ladies...
0:36:24 > 0:36:26# But back in Brooklyn they say bees and beaus
0:36:26 > 0:36:29# And they all wear them solid clothes
0:36:29 > 0:36:33# On Fulton Street when they arrive to cut a rug and dig that jive
0:36:33 > 0:36:37# The famous dates in history just keep me all upset
0:36:37 > 0:36:40# But when the Dodgers won that pennant
0:36:40 > 0:36:42# That's a date I can't forget
0:36:42 > 0:36:45# At Bluecliff all the teaching staff
0:36:45 > 0:36:49# Maintains one must control one's life
0:36:49 > 0:36:53# And not act like the other half
0:36:54 > 0:36:58# While learning to be ladies...
0:36:58 > 0:37:00# But back in Brooklyn they all ride the El
0:37:00 > 0:37:02# And they think that Coney Island's swell
0:37:02 > 0:37:05# You can take me out of Brooklyn Yes
0:37:05 > 0:37:07# But ain't it plain to see?
0:37:07 > 0:37:12# That you can't take Brooklyn out of me... #

0:38:15 > 0:38:17What's the trouble?
0:38:17 > 0:38:20- It's Marguerita again. - Is she still outside?
0:38:20 > 0:38:24Might as well leave her alone. You can't do anything with her.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26PIERCING SCREAM
0:38:36 > 0:38:37Miss Keyes...
0:38:39 > 0:38:42Marguerita was right again. >
0:38:42 > 0:38:44- She said there'd be another murder.- >
0:38:44 > 0:38:45That's right. >
0:38:45 > 0:38:47- An elderly person, too.- >
0:38:56 > 0:38:58Another one, heh?
0:38:59 > 0:39:01Miss Keyes, the head of the school.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04Murder seems to follow you around.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06Get back inside, girls.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Come on! Keep the show going.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13- I don't want that audience turned loose out here.- Come on, girls.
0:39:13 > 0:39:19Gosh, Chief, just think of all the education that was snuffed out when she cashed in...
0:39:22 > 0:39:24GIRLS GASP
0:39:25 > 0:39:27Mr Lawrence!
0:39:31 > 0:39:34It was lying right there.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38Why didn't you leave it? Now you've got your fingerprints all over it.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42- How do we know they weren't on it already?- The tip has been removed.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44It'll check with the wound.
0:39:44 > 0:39:49- A thin, sharp blade that probably pierced the heart. - Oh, there goes Nancy again!
0:39:50 > 0:39:53GIRLS ALL TALK AT ONCE
0:39:55 > 0:39:58Not everybody knows how to handle one of these.
0:39:58 > 0:40:02All right, Bates, start making notes. I'll phone in a report.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04OK, sister, what's your John Henry?
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Vicky Gaines.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10What do you do here?
0:40:10 > 0:40:11I teach.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14What do you teach?
0:40:14 > 0:40:15Fencing and dramatics.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22How long have you been here?

0:41:17 > 0:41:20You shouldn't have run away, you know.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24I won't go back there. They'll ask questions, and I couldn't stand it!
0:41:24 > 0:41:27You'll have to answer them sooner or later.
0:41:29 > 0:41:33That's your father's concerto, isn't it?
0:41:33 > 0:41:35One of his old recordings.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38You didn't know my father, did you?
0:41:38 > 0:41:41Not personally. But I heard his concerts.
0:41:41 > 0:41:42He played beautifully.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Beautifully?
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Sometimes...
0:41:47 > 0:41:51Other times, strangely...wildly...
0:41:51 > 0:41:54You know what I mean, don't you?
0:41:54 > 0:41:56I'm not sure that I do.
0:41:56 > 0:42:00You're just like all the rest! Trying to keep the truth from me.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02But I know. I've found out.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Nobody told me. They didn't have to.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09I knew what they were thinking...
0:42:10 > 0:42:12My father was insane, wasn't he?
0:42:12 > 0:42:16That depends on what you mean by insane.
0:42:16 > 0:42:20We all of us have a little of the Mad Hatter in us.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23If you have enough of it, you're called a genius.
0:42:23 > 0:42:28A gifted man like your father must have seemed strange, even abnormal, to ordinary people.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31I've often wondered about my father...
0:42:31 > 0:42:33About myself, I mean.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37Whether I'd be...like him.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40I get these strange moods.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43I know I'm not normal, not like other people.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45WIND BLOWS
0:42:45 > 0:42:50- If you let yourself think like that, you'll finish up believing it. - Hear the wind?
0:42:50 > 0:42:51Do you hear it?
0:42:53 > 0:42:55Do you hear what it's saying?
0:42:55 > 0:42:57Over and over...
0:42:57 > 0:42:59It's just the wind in the trees.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Listen...
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Listen!
0:43:03 > 0:43:06WIND HOWLS
0:43:21 > 0:43:23Follow...
0:43:24 > 0:43:26Follow...
0:43:26 > 0:43:28Stop it, Marguerita!
0:43:28 > 0:43:31You're letting your imagination get the better of you.
0:43:31 > 0:43:33I'm sorry...
0:43:33 > 0:43:35VOICES, CAR ENGINES START
0:43:35 > 0:43:37The show must be over.
0:43:37 > 0:43:41You'll have to go. You're not supposed to be here this late!
0:44:31 > 0:44:33DOOR OPENS
0:44:35 > 0:44:38Are you looking for something?
0:44:39 > 0:44:42I'd like some professional advice, Doctor.
0:44:42 > 0:44:44Would you call this a coincidence?
0:44:44 > 0:44:47Marguerita Serena made these figures.
0:44:47 > 0:44:49These, of course, are yours.
0:44:49 > 0:44:51Yes. What about it?
0:44:51 > 0:44:55If I'm not mistaken, they're used to make tests in mental telepathy.
0:44:55 > 0:44:59Yes. A psychic person would get a high average in naming them correctly.
0:44:59 > 0:45:01What is it?
0:45:01 > 0:45:03Clover leaf.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06Hourglass.
0:45:07 > 0:45:09Crescent.
0:45:09 > 0:45:11None out of three.
0:45:11 > 0:45:14You don't seem to be psychic, Mr Lawrence(!)
0:45:14 > 0:45:15Marguerita is?
0:45:15 > 0:45:18There are strong indications.
0:45:18 > 0:45:21So you deliberately misled me when I asked you before?
0:45:21 > 0:45:23You've been giving these tests to Marguerita?
0:45:23 > 0:45:27After all, psychic phenomenon is an outpost of my profession.
0:45:27 > 0:45:32I don't have to tell you that Bluecliff has always been ultra-conservative.
0:45:32 > 0:45:35Of course, all that may be changed now.
0:45:35 > 0:45:38You heard about Miss Keyes?
0:45:38 > 0:45:39Yes.
0:45:39 > 0:45:41Right after the performance.
0:45:41 > 0:45:44Shocking thing. Horrible.
0:45:44 > 0:45:47You realise this murder leaves you in a very awkward position.
0:45:47 > 0:45:48How do you mean?
0:45:48 > 0:45:52It tends to prove Professor Jameson's death wasn't suicide after all.
0:45:52 > 0:45:58Since both you and the professor were interested in Vicky, it makes you the logical suspect.
0:46:00 > 0:46:03Why should I want to kill Miss Keyes?
0:46:03 > 0:46:06People have been killed to keep them from talking.
0:46:06 > 0:46:09If Miss Keyes had known there was a murder,
0:46:09 > 0:46:13she would have made every effort to cover up, not expose it.
0:46:13 > 0:46:18People have been disposed of for other reasons - money, blackmail, fear, honour...
0:46:18 > 0:46:20There's something you should understand.
0:46:20 > 0:46:23If I'm not mistaken, that's a badge of honour you carry.
0:46:23 > 0:46:27- Isn't that a sabre scar?- I am well aware of how Miss Keyes was killed.
0:46:27 > 0:46:30Your insinuations are quite obvious.
0:46:31 > 0:46:35- How long have you been in this country?- Five years.
0:46:35 > 0:46:36That's very interesting.
0:46:36 > 0:46:41- I noticed you received your doctor's degree four years ago, in Europe. - All right, four years!
0:46:41 > 0:46:44What difference does all this make?
0:46:46 > 0:46:49I seem to have hit on a sore spot, Doctor. What's wrong?
0:46:49 > 0:46:54- Not in the country illegally, are you?- No! I married an American woman.
0:46:54 > 0:46:58- You kept your marriage secret. Why? - Miss Keyes never allowed married teachers on her faculty.
0:46:58 > 0:47:00Who was it you married?
0:47:00 > 0:47:02That is my own business.
0:47:05 > 0:47:08Anatole, there is something I must tell you...
0:47:09 > 0:47:11Don't let me interfere.
0:47:11 > 0:47:14I was about to leave, anyway.
0:47:15 > 0:47:16Thanks.
0:47:28 > 0:47:31PIERCING SCREAM
0:47:31 > 0:47:34FURTHER SCREAM
0:47:34 > 0:47:36Let go of me, you old fool!
0:47:38 > 0:47:41What are you doing in here? What are you after?
0:47:41 > 0:47:44- Nothing, I tell you. - Yeah, looks like it(!)
0:47:44 > 0:47:47Here's something, Chief. A mythology exam.
0:47:47 > 0:47:52All about fawns and nymphs, just like we've been studying at the academy.
0:47:52 > 0:47:53You and your night school!
0:47:53 > 0:47:55Hey!
0:47:59 > 0:48:00Timothy, I'm surprised at you!
0:48:03 > 0:48:04She broke in here after something.
0:48:04 > 0:48:06Did she get it?
0:48:06 > 0:48:10- Search me.- Searching her would be more to the point. - Oh, no, you don't!
0:48:12 > 0:48:14All right. All right!
0:48:21 > 0:48:27"My dear madam, to my deep regret, Jane has failed Professor Jameson's course in English literature.
0:48:27 > 0:48:30"Remembering your fine record at Bluecliff,
0:48:30 > 0:48:35"it is very painful for me to tell you that we must drop Jane at the end of the present semester."
0:48:35 > 0:48:40- Etcetera, etcetera. - There's your answer, Chief. Jane murders the prof,
0:48:40 > 0:48:45- then knocks off the old lady to keep from being kicked out of school. - Night school will be proud of you!
0:48:45 > 0:48:51- The best thing you can do, young lady, is to go to your room and stay there.- Don't treat me like a child!
0:48:51 > 0:48:56It might be an idea at that. There's an old saying about sparing the rod.
0:48:59 > 0:49:02- SLAP! - Ow! Stop it!
0:49:09 > 0:49:11Let me see that, will you?
0:49:11 > 0:49:14Isn't that the girl that stole your car?
0:49:14 > 0:49:20- Yes, but I'm satisfied she didn't have anything to do with the murder. - So that makes it official(!)
0:49:20 > 0:49:22GUNSHOT
0:49:28 > 0:49:31Weird, ain't it?
0:49:56 > 0:50:00VOICES MURMUR
0:50:01 > 0:50:03Ssh, ssh!
0:50:03 > 0:50:06Really, this is the truth and that isn't all that happened.
0:50:06 > 0:50:10Then I kicked the inspector and then I jumped ten feet out of the window.
0:50:10 > 0:50:11It was nine-and-a-half.
0:50:11 > 0:50:12ALL GASP
0:50:12 > 0:50:15Nancy, don't you dare!
0:50:15 > 0:50:18This is just a chance visit, I assure you.
0:50:18 > 0:50:20You might say a shot in the dark.
0:50:20 > 0:50:23Now don't you go apologising, Mr Lawrence,
0:50:23 > 0:50:25we're just thrilled to have you. Cookie?
0:50:25 > 0:50:27- Yes, won't you have some tea? - Dorothy!
0:50:27 > 0:50:29- What'd you find out about Miss Keyes?- Who did it?
0:50:29 > 0:50:33- Do you suspect any of the teachers? - I'll call the faculty!
0:50:33 > 0:50:36He'll report us for having a midnight snack.
0:50:36 > 0:50:39- If you'll keep quiet about me, I'll repay the compliment.- I hope so!
0:50:39 > 0:50:42ALL: Don't go! You can't go out there!
0:50:46 > 0:50:48Sensible, anyway.
0:50:48 > 0:50:50GIRLS LAUGH
0:50:50 > 0:50:53DOOR CLOSES I would have to have these on!
0:51:09 > 0:51:12SHE SCREAMS
0:51:14 > 0:51:16What is this?
0:51:16 > 0:51:18Best two falls out of three?
0:51:24 > 0:51:27Happens I have a phobia about being shot at.
0:51:27 > 0:51:29Whoever did it came in here.
0:51:29 > 0:51:33WOMAN WHIMPERS
0:51:33 > 0:51:36SHE SOBS
0:51:37 > 0:51:40Oh, come now, Mary, it isn't as bad as all that.
0:51:48 > 0:51:51Miss Gaines, this picture...
0:51:51 > 0:51:55SHE CONTINUES SOBBING
0:51:55 > 0:51:58I hope I don't have to call the police.
0:51:59 > 0:52:02No, I'll do it for you.
0:52:02 > 0:52:04What shall I tell them?
0:52:04 > 0:52:06Please.
0:52:07 > 0:52:09That's better.
0:52:11 > 0:52:13Now, this picture...
0:52:13 > 0:52:15it was a cruise, wasn't it?
0:52:15 > 0:52:18One of those summer tours for vacationing school teachers?
0:52:18 > 0:52:22Those cruises aren't as dull as you think. We had a wonderful time.
0:52:22 > 0:52:24And romance, no doubt.
0:52:24 > 0:52:26If you must know, yes.
0:52:26 > 0:52:29Most young teachers travel, Mr Lawrence. Their excuse is culture.
0:52:29 > 0:52:34Privately, they're hoping something extraordinary will happen to them. Preferably a man.
0:52:34 > 0:52:37It was in Europe, that was when you met Dr Graelich.
0:52:37 > 0:52:38Why deny it?
0:52:38 > 0:52:41Met him, fell in love, became engaged.
0:52:41 > 0:52:44CHATTERING
0:52:46 > 0:52:49..Frightening young girls! Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
0:52:49 > 0:52:52We didn't do nothing, lady. We're police officers.
0:52:52 > 0:52:56- Peeping Toms, you mean. - And policemen too! Hiding behind your badges!
0:52:56 > 0:52:59Lady, if we knew any place to hide, we'd be there.
0:53:01 > 0:53:04Get out and stay out!
0:53:04 > 0:53:06Dames!
0:53:06 > 0:53:08Why, Timothy.
0:53:08 > 0:53:12If this story gets around headquarters, I'll know where it came from.
0:53:12 > 0:53:14And that goes for you too.
0:53:14 > 0:53:16- I didn't say nothing, Chief. - Well, you might!
0:53:22 > 0:53:25You mean to tell me you teachers have been around this school
0:53:25 > 0:53:28all these years and none of you know anything about this?
0:53:28 > 0:53:30Quit flubbering around, you annoy me!
0:53:30 > 0:53:32You don't exactly please me either.
0:53:32 > 0:53:35Good! Miss Phoebus,
0:53:35 > 0:53:38would you say this was Miss Keyes' signature?
0:53:38 > 0:53:43Why, yes. That is, I think so. It certainly looks like it.
0:53:43 > 0:53:44Thank you.
0:53:44 > 0:53:48All right, the rest of you faculty mothers can go.
0:53:48 > 0:53:51I always like to deal with the person in charge.
0:53:51 > 0:53:55- Congratulations.- You're probably being very clever, Inspector.
0:53:55 > 0:53:58I haven't the vaguest idea what you're talking about.
0:53:58 > 0:54:01- Course, you don't know what I mean, either.- No, but I could venture to guess.
0:54:01 > 0:54:04You don't have to guess, I'll tell you.
0:54:04 > 0:54:05We found the old lady's will,
0:54:05 > 0:54:08and everything in it goes to Vicky Gaines.
0:54:08 > 0:54:11The grounds, the house, the school, everything. What do you make of that?
0:54:11 > 0:54:13I don't make anything of it.
0:54:13 > 0:54:16Except at your congratulations on very poor taste.
0:54:23 > 0:54:27Look...I've got a very low-class mind, so I've doped it out like this.
0:54:27 > 0:54:32It's the ordinary love triangle. The doctor eliminates his competition, Professor Jameson,
0:54:32 > 0:54:37then he bumps the old lady so his sweetheart can inherit the premises and they live happy ever after.
0:54:37 > 0:54:40I'm holding you two for murder.
0:54:41 > 0:54:42Timothy...
0:54:42 > 0:54:45- you've reasoned the whole thing out beautifully.- Thanks.
0:54:45 > 0:54:47There's only one little thing wrong with it.
0:54:47 > 0:54:51- What are you going to use for evidence?- What are you trying to do?
0:54:51 > 0:54:53I'm thinking of you.
0:54:53 > 0:54:58Wouldn't you be risking your reputation at headquarters bringing in prisoners and no proof?
0:54:59 > 0:55:02PHONE RINGS
0:55:02 > 0:55:03Hello.
0:55:03 > 0:55:06Hello, is that you, Chief? I got that gal you wanted -
0:55:06 > 0:55:09Marguerita Serena, the one that found the body.
0:55:09 > 0:55:12- Good, where are you? - 'We're in Miss Keyes' office.
0:55:12 > 0:55:15'We've been waiting and waiting...'
0:55:18 > 0:55:22We'd be very happy to come over to where you are. Where are you?
0:55:22 > 0:55:24Hello. Hello, Chief...
0:55:24 > 0:55:26Oh!
0:55:33 > 0:55:37Now then, what happened to you last night? Nobody could find you.
0:55:37 > 0:55:40You must have disappeared for some reason.
0:55:40 > 0:55:42I... I was afraid.
0:55:42 > 0:55:47Afraid, huh? Maybe that's why you stood over Miss Keyes' body for a full minute before screaming.
0:55:47 > 0:55:50I didn't stand over the body. I called the minute I found it.
0:55:50 > 0:55:51That's not the story we heard.
0:55:54 > 0:55:58I'm sorry, dear, I didn't mean to tell them but they...
0:55:58 > 0:56:00I looked out of the window and saw you.
0:56:02 > 0:56:04Maybe you did see me.
0:56:04 > 0:56:07Maybe I did kill Miss Keyes.
0:56:07 > 0:56:11And Jameson, and how many others, I don't know!
0:56:12 > 0:56:14Maybe I am insane!
0:56:15 > 0:56:18Maybe I am!
0:56:18 > 0:56:20SHE SOBS
0:56:20 > 0:56:22Marguerita, stop it!
0:56:22 > 0:56:25Stop it!
0:56:25 > 0:56:26Marguerita...
0:56:26 > 0:56:28stop it.
0:56:44 > 0:56:47You can see it would be useless to question her now.
0:56:47 > 0:56:48Oh, all right.
0:56:48 > 0:56:51But I'm holding her. Take the girl into town and lock her up.
0:56:51 > 0:56:56Tell the jailer unless some tongues start to loosen up, he'd better get ready for a full house.
0:56:56 > 0:56:59BELLS CHIME
0:57:08 > 0:57:11Hey, come back here!
0:57:11 > 0:57:14WHISTLE BLOWS
0:57:14 > 0:57:16- What's the matter?- What's going on? - What's happened?
0:57:16 > 0:57:20- She escaped!- Who escaped?- That Marguerita dame. Lemme through!
0:57:20 > 0:57:24- I just saw her walking towards the cliffs.- She'll jump off! - Just like her father did!
0:57:24 > 0:57:26Oh, no, she won't.
0:57:32 > 0:57:37Marguerita's running away. She'll kill herself! She's gone towards the cliffs, she'll kill herself!
0:58:19 > 0:58:22You won't find Marguerita by following me.
0:58:22 > 0:58:25- If you don't mind... - I certainly do mind!
0:58:25 > 0:58:28Curious to know whether this was the gun fired at me last night.
0:58:28 > 0:58:30Hasn't been used for years.
0:58:32 > 0:58:34Apparently not.
0:58:35 > 0:58:38Just what do you intend doing with all that armament?
0:58:38 > 0:58:41After all, someone's going around murdering people.
0:58:41 > 0:58:43Don't look so accusingly at me.
0:58:45 > 0:58:46Just one thing puzzles me.
0:58:46 > 0:58:50I can't imagine a girl like you being secretly married to anyone.
0:58:50 > 0:58:52You're much too forthright and uncompromising.
0:58:52 > 0:58:55- You'd want the whole world to know it.- If you mean Dr Graelich,
0:58:55 > 0:59:00we were never married. I found out he was trying to get into the United States...
0:59:00 > 0:59:03- And intended using you as a passport.- I broke the engagement.
0:59:03 > 0:59:05Graelich admitted he had married someone.
0:59:05 > 0:59:08Married? To whom?
0:59:09 > 0:59:12Mary Phoebus was on that cruise with you, wasn't she?
0:59:12 > 0:59:15Mary? It couldn't be.
0:59:16 > 0:59:18Yes, it's true, Vicky.
0:59:18 > 0:59:21I always meant to but I didn't know how to tell you.
0:59:21 > 0:59:22But you hardly knew each other.
0:59:22 > 0:59:25I told her I wasn't in love with her, that it was you,
0:59:25 > 0:59:28and always would be, but she was willing to have it that way.
0:59:28 > 0:59:30How could you marry on those terms?
0:59:30 > 0:59:33You can't understand how much it meant to me to come to America.
0:59:33 > 0:59:36We'd better find Mary before there's another tragedy.
0:59:36 > 0:59:40Surely you don't believe Mary is guilty of these insane, disconnected murders?
0:59:40 > 0:59:44The fact that they were disconnected is the key to the whole thing.
0:59:44 > 0:59:47Professor Jameson was killed with deliberate calculation
0:59:47 > 0:59:51to make the police believe exactly as they did, that you two murdered him.
0:59:51 > 0:59:54- How could anyone be so vicious? - After all, she married the doctor,
0:59:54 > 0:59:57was probably woman enough to hope she could win his affection.
0:59:57 > 1:00:00Seeing you two together was too much for her.
1:00:00 > 1:00:03She planned this whole thing as a way of getting even with you both.
1:00:03 > 1:00:07I can understand her feelings towards us, but Miss Keyes...
1:00:07 > 1:00:11Her whole plan depended on the police coming in to make the obvious accusations.
1:00:11 > 1:00:16Miss Keyes knocked that for the sake of the school's reputation. So she had to be disposed of.
1:00:17 > 1:00:18They found Marguerita.
1:00:18 > 1:00:21- She wasn't going to kill herself. - Of course not!
1:00:21 > 1:00:25- Where is she?- Back there.- At the Devil's Ladder.- With Miss Phoebus.
1:00:33 > 1:00:35Why did you run away?
1:00:35 > 1:00:37I... I was afraid.
1:00:38 > 1:00:40Afraid?
1:00:40 > 1:00:42Of whom?
1:00:42 > 1:00:49I saw you standing over Miss Keyes' body last night.
1:00:49 > 1:00:54At least, I thought I did. I still don't know. I...
1:00:54 > 1:00:57But you didn't see me, Marguerita. You know you didn't.
1:00:57 > 1:01:00- Please!- It was just another of your wild illusions.
1:01:00 > 1:01:03Please let me think! Leave me alone!
1:01:11 > 1:01:13There's no hope for you, Marguerita.
1:01:13 > 1:01:15You're just like your father.
1:01:15 > 1:01:17- Like my father?- Yes.
1:01:17 > 1:01:19You should have known long ago.
1:01:19 > 1:01:22They've all tried to shield you and this is the result.
1:01:22 > 1:01:24Someone should have told you.
1:01:25 > 1:01:27Your father was insane.
1:01:27 > 1:01:31Violently insane and he started just the way you have.

1:01:41 > 1:01:43It was born in you.
1:01:52 > 1:01:54Your father knew.
1:01:54 > 1:01:56There was only one answer.
1:01:57 > 1:01:59The sea...
1:01:59 > 1:02:01Listen to it.
