She's probably in the other bar. 36:16.360 --> 36:19.318 I most certainly will not nip ‘round and fetch her, She's busy. 36:19.480 --> 36:22.153 - Hello, Dickie. Is that you? - Hurry up.

It was Blaney, alright. 37:46.999 --> 37:50.912 He came out of the door downstairs and walked down the alley. 37:51.079 --> 37:53.309 The beast! 37:53.479 --> 37:55.470 I'm sorry, Miss Barling. | must press you. 37:55.639 --> 37:58.392 Are you sure it was Mr Blaney? 37:58.560 --> 38:00.630 Absolutely! I'd know him anywhere. 38:00.800 --> 38:03.473 He came here yesterday afternoon, and was perfectly horrid. 38:03.639 --> 38:06.790 He'd been drinking and insisted on seeing Mrs Blaney. 38:06.960 --> 38:11.238 - And did he see her? - Yes. She'd never turn anyone away. 38:11.399 --> 38:13.867 - What happened? - Oh, | don't know. 38:14.040 --> 38:16.031 They started having a row almost immediately. 38:16.199 --> 38:18.588 Mrs Blaney came out and said | might go. 38:18.760 --> 38:21.752 Quite naturally | didn't want to embarrass her, so | left. 38:21.919 --> 38:26.788 | couldn't help overhearing that Mr Blaney was becoming very violent, 38:26.959 --> 38:29.837 both in his language and his behaviour. 38:30.000 --> 38:33.959 - Did he strike Mrs Blaney? - Yes, | think so. 38:34.120 --> 38:38.477 - There was the sound of a blow. - | see. 38:38.639 --> 38:40.709 Miss Barling, could you describe Mr Blaney for us? 38:40.880 --> 38:43.394 What he looked like, what he was wearing and so on. 38:43.560 --> 38:45.391 Yes, | think | can. 38:45.559 --> 38:48.710 He was a man in his thirties, about an inch or so under six foot tall. 38:48.880 --> 38:51.235 He had dark hair, green eyes and a moustache. 38:51.399 --> 38:53.833 | estimate his weight at about 155 pounds. 38:54.000 --> 38:56.036 He was wearing a rather old-fashioned jacket 38:56.199 --> 38:58.793 with leather patches on the shoulders and elbows. 38:58.959 --> 39:01.029 In my opinion, it was quite unsuitable for London. 39:01.200 --> 39:03.031 He was also carrying a raincoat. 39:04.080 --> 39:06.196 That's an extraordinarily precise description, Miss Barling. 39:06.720 --> 39:11.555 In my job I've learned to keep a sharp eye on men, Inspector. 39:12.639 --> 39:13.628 Excuse me. 39:13.800 --> 39:15.995 | found this handbag on the desk, and there's no sign of any money. 39:16.159 --> 39:17.558 That doesn't make sense. 39:17.719 --> 39:20.756 | cashed a cheque for 50 pounds for her yesterday lunchtime. 39:20.919 --> 39:23.353 It makes perfect sense to me. Where does she put her money in this bag? 39:23.520 --> 39:27.433 - Sometimes she zips it in the pocket. - Mmm. 39:27.600 --> 39:29.591 Have this face powder identified, will you, Sergeant? 39:29.760 --> 39:32.399 There might be some on the stolen money.

The conversation was mature, 40:23.479 --> 40:25.037 the Red Biddy flowed down the odd throats, 40:25.199 --> 40:27.190 and the good fellowship of the open road prevailed. 40:27.360 --> 40:30.079 - Red Biddy. What's that? - Blended red wine. 40:30.239 --> 40:32.389 Half vino, half metholated spirits. 40:32.560 --> 40:35.916 - But why, Dick? - Reasonable terms for bachelors. 40:36.080 --> 40:38.674 - Thirty pence a night, in fact. - | don't understand. 40:38.840 --> 40:41.673 How can you afford the Coburg? 40:41.840 --> 40:44.195 Well, | managed to get some money. 40:44.360 --> 40:45.873 - Since last night? - Yeah. 40:46.040 --> 40:50.397 - I, uh, I collected an old debt. - That was lucky. 40:50.560 --> 40:51.879 40:53.399 --> 40:54.718 40:55.760 --> 40:57.432 Oooh! 41:18.800 --> 41:20.791 Thank you. 41:33.840 --> 41:36.593 - Double room, please. - What are you up to?

It's possible. 47:31.799 --> 47:33.391 Maybe you wanted to get rid of her. 47:33.560 --> 47:34.913 But | had got rid of her. 47:35.080 --> 47:37.799 We were divorced, remember. We had been for two years. 47:37.959 --> 47:41.269 There was no question of alimony. She earned far more than me. 47:41.440 --> 47:44.796 You got that money from her, didn't you? You never collected a debt. 47:44.959 --> 47:46.677 Well, yes, | did. 47:46.840 --> 47:49.035 But she gave it to me the night before when we had dinner. 47:49.199 --> 47:51.997 - Twenty pounds. - Why lie about it, then? 47:53.399 --> 47:55.390 | suppose | was ashamed to admit it, that's all. 47:55.559 --> 47:57.948 That makes sense, | suppose. 47:58.120 --> 48:01.715 But if Brenda gave you that money, why'd you sleep in the doss house? 48:01.880 --> 48:05.270 You could've afforded a hotel. | didn't realise that | had it. 48:05.440 --> 48:07.237 She slipped it into the pocket of my raincoat. 48:07.399 --> 48:10.596 Oh, go on, Dick. Why don't you pull the other one? It's got bells on it. 48:10.760 --> 48:13.797 But it's true! | suppose she didn't want to embarrass me. 48:14.840 --> 48:16.876 You've got to admit, it is pretty tall. 48:17.040 --> 48:20.999 Not as tall as me sleeping in a doss house with 20 quid in my pocket! 48:21.159 --> 48:23.514 If | knew | had it, I'd never have gone there, would I? 48:23.680 --> 48:26.240 - Maybe. - Maybe! You smelled that jacket! 48:26.399 --> 48:27.798 Would you sleep there if you didn't have to? 48:27.959 --> 48:30.075 It wasn't that bad, that jacket. 48:30.239 --> 48:32.628 | still think it's a bit suspicious, your sending it to the cleaners. 48:32.800 --> 48:33.835 Suspicious of what? 48:34.000 --> 48:36.275 In them sex cases, they always do a lab test on the clothes. 48:36.439 --> 48:38.430 It stank to high heaven! 48:38.600 --> 48:41.433 That's why. You know it did. 48:43.600 --> 48:46.637 Barbara, | swear I'm telling the truth. 48:46.800 --> 48:49.837 Do | look like a sex murderer to you? 48:49.999 --> 48:54.709 Can you imagine me creeping around, strangling women with ties? 48:54.880 --> 48:59.476 That's ridiculous. For a start, | only own two. 48:59.639 --> 49:02.790 Well, it's true. That jacket was a bit smelly. 49:02.959 --> 49:04.870 And if you had known about the money, 49:05.040 --> 49:07.713 you wouldn't have stayed with old men like that. 49:07.880 --> 49:10.155 Then you believe me? 49:10.320 --> 49:12.311 Thousands wouldn't. 49:12.479 --> 49:14.037 Thanks. 49:16.159 --> 49:18.593 | must be soft in the head lettin' a suspected strangler 49:18.759 --> 49:20.750 put his arms around me. 49:20.919 --> 49:23.592 - Shows you trust me. - | suppose so. 49:27.919 --> 49:31.195 Hey, what we gonna do? The police will be looking for you! 49:31.360 --> 49:32.952 | don't know. | haven't thought yet. 49:33.120 --> 49:35.918 There's only one thing you can do. Tell them what happened, like you told me. 49:36.079 --> 49:38.070 - No, | can't do that. - You've got to! 49:38.239 --> 49:40.753 - They'd never believe me. - Why not? | did. 49:40.919 --> 49:43.991 You're not the law. I'm probably their only suspect. 49:44.160 --> 49:47.470 You have to go along and persuade them to search for someone else. 49:47.639 --> 49:50.551 | mean, one look at you and they'd know you wasn't a sadistic killer. 49:53.200 --> 49:55.191 - (Man) Blaney! - Come on! 49:56.279 --> 49:58.429 Dicko! 50:39.440 --> 50:43.035 Haven't done any of this cloak-and-dagger stuff since the Suez business. 50:43.200 --> 50:45.839 That's when | first met Dicko, in the squadron, you know. 50:46.000 --> 50:49.595 He was a bit of a split-assed type then too. 50:55.040 --> 50:57.031 # (Whistling) 51:02.560 --> 51:04.516 Hetty, you remember Dicko, don't you? 51:04.680 --> 51:06.352 Of course.

We haven't seen you in ages, Dick. 51:15.040 --> 51:17.873 How's Brenda? Do you still hear from her? 51:20.160 --> 51:22.628 Well, uh, she's dead... I'm afraid. 51:22.800 --> 51:28.750 - Yes... and you killed her! - Steady on, Hetty. He didn't do it. 51:28.920 --> 51:31.275 - He's just been telling me all about it. - Has he, now? 51:34.240 --> 51:37.357 See, he was seen near the place where Brenda was murdered. 51:37.520 --> 51:40.910 So the police think he's the strangler chap. But he's not, of course. 51:41.079 --> 51:43.832 All he wants is a place to hide out. 51:44.000 --> 51:46.992 And you suggested he should stay here. 51:48.080 --> 51:49.638 Well, yes. It seemed a good idea. 51:49.800 --> 51:51.677 Nobody ever knows who's staying here. 51:51.840 --> 51:55.116 You're a bloody fool, Johnny, getting yourself involved like this. 51:55.280 --> 51:58.158 - But he didn't do it. - (Hetty) Of course he did it! 51:58.320 --> 52:03.348 - What, old Dicko? - Yes, Dicko, the chivalrous knight! 52:03.520 --> 52:05.829 (Hetty) He always treated her like a chit! 52:06.000 --> 52:08.036 | think you're absolutely wrong. 52:08.200 --> 52:11.431 Don't you remember that disgusting divorce petition? 52:11.600 --> 52:13.591 The things you did to her! 52:13.760 --> 52:16.638 - Divorce petition? - Oh, didn't he tell you? 52:16.800 --> 52:21.032 He was divorced from his wife on the grounds of extreme cruelty. 52:21.200 --> 52:22.952 Thank you very much. 52:24.480 --> 52:26.948 Well, is it true? 52:27.120 --> 52:28.109 52:28.279 --> 52:31.874 Both extreme mental and physical cruelty. 52:32.040 --> 52:34.031 Depravity was mentioned, | think. 52:34.200 --> 52:37.033 It had to read that way, but there wasn't a word of truth in it! 52:37.200 --> 52:39.350 The lawyers made it all up. 52:39.520 --> 52:43.229 We didn't want to wait three years for a divorce based on desertion, 52:43.400 --> 52:45.470 so | allowed her to divorce me on the grounds of cruelty. 52:45.639 --> 52:48.073 Extreme cruelty. 52:48.240 --> 52:51.710 | wonder if the police have read a copy of it. 52:53.319 --> 52:55.833 My God! 52:56.000 --> 52:57.956 (Hetty) Yes, I'm sure they'll be fascinated. 52:58.119 --> 53:01.907 - He's innocent, | know he is. - You know it? How do you know it? 53:02.080 --> 53:05.072 As you say, they'd been divorced. He had no call to do her in. 53:05.239 --> 53:08.868 There's no spiteful act I'd put past old Dicko here, 53:09.040 --> 53:10.758 especially if he were drunk. 53:10.920 --> 53:13.036 Were you drunk when you did it? Was that it? 53:13.200 --> 53:14.872 | didn't do it, Hetty. 53:15.040 --> 53:16.917 | didn't do it! | swear! 53:17.079 --> 53:20.674 Then why don't you go to the police instead of involving Johnny? 53:20.839 --> 53:23.069 | didn't want to involve him. He insisted. 53:23.239 --> 53:25.673 That's right, | did. Can't abandon a chap in trouble. 53:25.840 --> 53:29.310 | still say, why don't you go to the police and inform them? 53:29.479 --> 53:30.912 They'd never believe him, that's why. 53:31.080 --> 53:35.358 He's the only suspect they've got, and with the evidence against him, 53:35.520 --> 53:38.557 they'd lock him up without so much as a by-your-leave. 53:38.720 --> 53:41.951 Please hide him, Mrs Porter, just for tonight, 53:42.120 --> 53:44.111 until we can think what's best to do. 53:44.279 --> 53:47.988 ‘Course we'll hide him. Can't throw an old comrade to the cops. 53:48.160 --> 53:51.118 Well, if you want to be arrested for harboring a wanted man, 53:51.280 --> 53:54.078 or subverting the course of justice or whatever, 53:54.240 --> 53:55.958 on your own head be it, Johnny. 53:56.120 --> 53:58.475 But | wash my hands of the matter. 53:58.640 --> 54:01.518 Thank God we're off to Paris tomorrow.

I'm going shopping. 54:12.080 --> 54:14.389 - Perhaps I'd better go. - Nonsense, old chap. 54:14.560 --> 54:18.030 Don't worry about Hetty. I'll calm her down. Use the sofa tonight. 54:18.200 --> 54:20.031 | must be off.

They're the new thing there. 54:35.440 --> 54:37.749 That's a great idea. Why don't we? 54:37.920 --> 54:39.990 Not likely. | never was any good at French. 54:40.160 --> 54:42.151 You don't have to be. It's an English pub. 54:42.320 --> 54:45.915 As long as you can say "non,” you'll be alright. 54:46.080 --> 54:48.071 - Well... - Come on, Babs. 54:48.240 --> 54:50.231 You don't like the Globe any more than | did. 54:50.400 --> 54:54.029 Meet me at the flower stall at Victoria Station tomorrow at 11am. 54:54.200 --> 54:58.557 We can get a day trip to France.
