00:04:52The Potter wasp
00:04:54Looking at the black face of the Potter wasp we find that in both sexes. There is a golden spot between the antennae in
00:05:01The female sex there is also a golden spot at the base of the clippings and the male is
00:05:07Distinguished by having the whole of the clippings and the front of the antennae yellow in the male sex
00:05:13Also, the final joint is turned up in a hooked point
00:05:17The name Potter is justified by the fact that the female sex constructs her nest in the shape of a low broad flask
00:05:24Such as a Potter might turn on his wheel the neck being short and the mouth being expanded, but of course with no opening
00:05:31Now we come to the moths about which I was talking last week. Next slide, please
00:05:39This specimen represents more or less the ordinary form of moth
00:05:43The pale pinkish gray is sometimes tinged with green and the paler forms
00:05:48Variation is chiefly connected with modifications which sometimes occur in the upper and lower portions
00:05:55The
00:06:01Specimen emerges during the months of May and June and is usually to be found on the branches of lime trees or anywhere near where
00:06:08they are growing
00:06:18I wonder if it's possible to see professor manager. I'm afraid that won't be convenient inspector
00:06:24The professor is giving his usual Thursday evening lecture to the university students
00:06:28Oh, I'm sure he wouldn't mind my slipping in at the back and I can catch him as soon as he's finished
00:06:34As you wish I'll take your hat. Thank you
00:06:39The privet hawk moth
00:06:41As his name implies this moth is to be found in or around privet in July and August
00:06:47It can often be seen resting on the long sprays of the food plant
00:06:51Other food plants are lilac ash and
00:07:00Home of this moth
00:07:01However, it is widely distributed in Central and Southern Europe and is also to be found in China and Japan
00:07:08Well that brings me to the end of my lecture
00:07:10I
00:07:16Thank you for your attention
00:07:18If there are any questions any of you would like to ask I will try to answer them
00:07:22Would some of you be so kind as to raise the gas?
00:07:34Inspector
00:07:37Professor I didn't expect to see you. Yeah
00:07:50I hope you didn't mind my coming in. Of course not. Are you interested in entomology? I easily could be as a fascinating subject
00:08:06You
00:08:20The real reason I came is because there were one or two things I wanted to ask you about young Fisher
00:08:26Fisher
00:08:27Terrible waste brilliant boy. One of my best students. Yes. What what was the coroner's verdict murder by person or persons unknown?
00:08:36I
00:08:45Never dreamt she'd pass out like this
00:08:50Who's responsible for this I didn't think she'd faint sir. It was only a joke get out of this house
00:09:01Get some water, of course
00:09:03Excuse me, sir. Your sergeant's outside. He wants to see you. What he says. It's urgent, sir
00:09:16What is it sergeant another one sir wash your clothes as blood everywhere
00:09:25Get the professor
00:09:34What is this what's going on young man found on the heath I think he's still alive
00:09:39Quickly someone tell Granger to fetch my bag
00:09:43Inspector would you please don't care
00:09:59Too late, I'm afraid he's dead
00:10:04You
00:10:14Cheetah ah
00:10:16Sugared. Oh, yes, it is friends
00:10:19Wish you wouldn't keep slopping it in the sauce. What I keep telling you
00:10:23Doctor still with him. Yes, sir. Being there almost an hour
00:10:26By anything on the heat, sir
00:10:28No
00:10:30Have to wait till morning now
00:10:33You want me to organize a search?
00:10:35Yes, sergeant do that. Will you?
00:10:43Why do you keep the place so hot
00:10:45Damn, it sounds like an oven. How is he doctor? Mads a hatter. Oh, yeah, you knew the coach Joe trick
00:10:51I've known him for years anything against him. How did I know sir drinks your pint?
00:10:56You must allow him doctor probably use his cab dozens of times quiet man
00:11:00Well, he's a raving lunatic now have to get him to the asylum in the morning
00:11:03The only time we have a witness to one of these murders and he's out of his mind
00:11:07Didn't you get any sense out of him? No, except he keeps raving about some sort of creature
00:11:12All right for me to see him. Certainly. I don't think he'll be much use to you. Never know your luck. Keep that warm, sir
00:11:30Joe
00:11:32Can you tell me what happened?
00:11:34It was a horrible creature sir with who died, sir
00:11:39With the wings the wings sir. Oh, let me alone. Let me alone. What did it do? Did you see it fly off?
00:11:46Yes, I saw wings. I saw wings sir. Horrible wings, sir
00:11:51Guys, oh, please. Let me alone. Let me alone
00:11:55Take it easy Joe
00:12:01A
00:12:07Bit cold, sir. No, that's all right sergeant. Thank you
00:12:11Did you get anything out of him sir?
00:12:14No doctor was quite right
00:12:17Doctor I was wondering
00:12:20Could he have done the murders?
00:12:21I mean could he be one of those people with a split mind saying one moment mad the next
00:12:26Even if he was I doubt if he'd had the strength
00:12:28Have you taken a good look at the wounds inspector not yet. Well, I suggest we examine the body right away
00:12:35I warn you it's not a pleasant sight
00:12:38Don't suppose it is
00:12:58I
00:13:28I
00:13:50You brought me something of you know, we want to see the body of the morning about an hour ago. Oh, yes
00:13:58Interesting that one. I'll put him over there by the window. I always put the interesting ones by the window
00:14:03Well, this is a nice surprise. Yes
00:14:06You don't get a lot of sense out of these, you know, oh
00:14:10Yeah, well what?
00:14:13You know, you've caught me right in the middle of me dinner
00:14:15I've got pie tonight. Well, it makes a change from cold meat. Hey
00:14:20Would you like a bit?
00:14:22No, thank you. Oh at least I can offer you some I'll kicks beautifully cool under these slabs. It's virtually drained of blood
00:14:30No, normal wound would do that
00:14:32It is a bit strange in it looks like somebody's clawed him a doctor
00:14:37There's been six of them so far and they've all been in here
00:14:42All very similar to
00:14:44Severe injury to the cranium region thorax severely damaged and ribcage subject to extreme pressures
00:14:51Mind you I ain't messy no blood about I
00:14:55Think you might like to have a look at number six over there, sir. Now that really is a messy one
00:15:00He got knocked down by in some cabin Piccadilly
00:15:03Very bloody very bloody. They were all like this. Yes, they all follow the same pattern
00:15:09No motive as far as I can tell certainly not theft and all the victims are men
00:15:15What could have caused those injuries doctor
00:15:18They could have been inflicted by some sort of animal now Tom Gat's been missing for a week
00:15:25Thank you, you'd be most helpful
00:15:32Yeah, I was only joking about the Tomcat, you know, I don't get out of flight the gentle little thing just sits there and first
00:15:48Oh ducked up nice and comfy
00:15:51Here's some more of these things sergeant. Oh, thank you
00:16:22Morning sergeant. Morning, sir. Had any luck? No sign of any weapon so far, sir
00:16:27That's obviously where it happened, sir over there
00:16:35Lovers walk they call it sir. Not there was much love here last night. Look there
00:16:44So what's something else sir, not my head nor tail of them we found these all over the place
00:16:52Any
00:16:54Idea what they are. No idea at all sir. Seems they're everywhere. So I'm laying off the bushes. I'd better take those
00:17:00Pop them in there. Will you?
00:17:03Right sergeant. I'm going along to Claire house. Is he professor manager carry on with the search? Will you very good, sir?
00:17:22Who is it? It's me, sir. What do you want? I told you I wasn't the inspector. Yes, sir. Well time to go away
00:17:28I'm I'm sorry if I've called at an inconvenient time. It's very good of you to see me. Oh, not at all
00:17:34What can I do for you? I wondered if you could help me. Well, I certainly try
00:17:38Would it be possible to get a little help from you?
00:17:41I'm afraid I can't
00:17:43I'm afraid I can't
00:17:45Not at all
00:17:47I wondered if you could help me. Well, I certainly try
00:17:50Would it be possible for a bird such as an eagle to be at large in this area?
00:17:55Why why do you ask that?
00:17:58Well, the coachman who found the murdered man has gone completely out of his mind. He's in a mental home now
00:18:03He keeps raving about a huge bird. He swears. He saw hovering over the body
00:18:08There are certainly no eagles round here. The eagle is a bird entirely indigenous to mountainous country. I
00:18:14Suppose one might have escaped in the zoo, but in that case surely you would have been informed
00:18:20But would an eagle attack a human being?
00:18:23We had been known to attack mountaineers who they thought were endangering their young
00:18:28they've even been known to attack and carry off a young child, but
00:18:32For an eagle to attack and inflict such wounds upon a fully grown man would I should say be quite impossible
00:18:40I'm sure the species fairly but approximately how large are the claws of an eagle?
00:18:47Come with me inspector
00:18:49a
00:19:08Wire inspector Aquila crusaders the Golden Eagle a magnificent specimen
00:19:14There's talent and that beak could do quite a lot of damage
00:19:17To a man lying unconscious perhaps but to a young man defending himself, I don't think so
00:19:24Tell me inspector. Why do you pay so much attention to the ravings of a maniac? It's all I have to work on. I see
00:19:36Except these
00:19:38You
00:19:46Where did you get those
00:19:47They were found at the scene of the murder quite a lot of them on the ground and hanging off the bushes
00:19:53Do you know they're what they could be?
00:19:57Offhand I really can't tell you
00:19:59Perhaps if I might be allowed to examine them more closely in my laboratory and by all means
00:20:06And if you should find out what they are
00:20:08Perhaps you'll send word to me
00:20:10of course
00:20:12Good day professor
00:20:14I
00:20:33Want your food do you come on come on
00:20:44How many times have I told you not to bait that creature I was only feeding it it went for me get out of here
00:20:52Steady boy steady boy steady steady
00:21:14I
00:21:44You
00:21:56Got all that cop about yes, I'm
00:21:59So it's agreed is it and we put out a statement that we consider these attacks to be by some
00:22:03Wild creature a bird of prey perhaps the commissioner is particularly anxious to avoid another maniac scam
00:22:10Well, it was certainly give the newspaper something to talk about set them off on another tack, hmm
00:22:15Jackson I want you to put a section of your division on to making a show of searching the heath in the hope that we
00:22:20May put the real murderer off his guard making him careless. Very good, sir. Anything else? I don't think so, sir, right? Thank you
00:22:28You
00:22:40Good evening. Yes, sir. Can you tell me the way to Claire house, please? Well, sir
00:22:44Do you know your way around here at all? You know the common? No, I'm afraid I turned I'm complete stranger
00:22:48Well, it's a bit difficult
00:22:49But if you turn right when you get out the station and go down the road for about
00:22:53Did
00:22:56I ask the way to clear ass. Yes, I did professor managers place. Yes. He does live there. That's right
00:23:02Do you know the professor? Well, we never actually met
00:23:06May I ask what concern it is of yours?
00:23:09There's recently been a murder in this district is yet unsolved. That's why we're interested in strangers. I see
00:23:14Well for your information, I arrived in England yesterday from Africa
00:23:18I'm a naturalist and I have a contract to deliver live specimens to the professor
00:23:22Is there anything else you'd like to know you mustn't take offense sir. I'm only doing my duty. Yes, of course
00:23:27That's all right, sir. Now clear house. Let me see
00:23:30No great distance from here. It's not too easy to find
00:23:33Smith son the duty lock gone off yet. They're just off my sergeant tell constable Barrow cloud. I'd like to see him
00:23:39Would you yes, I'll get one of my men and take you right there. Thank you, sergeant
00:23:44Sergeant
00:23:45Who's on the Heath beat tonight? I am sergeant show this gentleman the way to clear house
00:23:49Would you be pleased to sir? Good my counselor will meet you outside, sir. Thank you. Oh, uh, I hope you get your man
00:23:56Thank you, sir
00:24:03The master will be very glad to know you've arrived
00:24:06He's been expecting you all day. Did my cases arrive? Yes, the courier brought them this morning
00:24:11May I offer you a drink sir? Yes. Thank you. I'm a dear. Oh masala. Oh, dear. Nothing broken. No, not as far as I know
00:24:19The professor had them taken into the laboratory nothing to be open till you arrived good
00:24:29Thank you
00:24:33I hear you've had a murder here
00:24:36Yes, the body of a man was found on the Heath as a term it if you'll excuse me, sir
00:24:41I'll tell the master you're here
00:24:43That's all right
00:25:06Mr. Brightwell
00:25:09I'm clear manager mrs. Mellon. No, miss Mellon to the professor's my father
00:25:14Forgive me
00:25:16But you see I haven't met the person. Well, I feel I know you already. I've heard so much about you
00:25:20It's manager. Please call me Claire. Thank you
00:25:26Come and sit down by me and tell me all about Africa
00:25:30What's the matter?
00:25:32What's it like very hot? Yes, I can see you're wonderfully sunburnt
00:25:38Yes, as a matter of fact, I got a bit too much son when we were going up the Limpopo
00:25:42I was laid up with it for several days. I think I should love to go to Africa. I love warmth. I
00:25:49Think it would be quite at home in the jungle and swamps. I don't think it would it's most unpleasant
00:25:56Snakes crocodiles insects and all of them sting or bite
00:26:00And moths yes plenty. It's a matter of fact. That's what this trip was about. I was collecting live specimens
00:26:08How long will you be staying I don't know that depends on dr. Mallinger
00:26:14Well until tomorrow evening. I hope at least we have a party. Oh, I'm afraid you'll have to excuse me
00:26:19I don't have any party clothes with me. I always travel like that's all right
00:26:23It's not that kind of party the students where my father sometimes lectures at the college
00:26:27They're putting on a play at the local theater. They know here. We're lending them this room at tomorrow night's the dress rehearsal
00:26:33I'm in it
00:26:35Acting in it. I certainly am
00:26:38What's the play about?
00:26:40Wait and see you'll be very surprised Romeo and Juliet
00:26:44Hardly, mr. Bright wall. I'm sorry not to have been here to greet you when you arrived doctor
00:26:50I trust that my daughter's been looking out to you. Yes, very well
00:26:53Your daughter has been telling me that she too is interested in entomology
00:26:57Yes, yes indeed
00:26:59I'm very much looking forward to seeing what you brought me when your cases arrived this morning
00:27:03I could hardly restrain myself from opening them at once. Do you think they weathered the voyage?
00:27:08Well, they were in excellent health when I handed them to the courier, sir
00:27:11Tell me right. Well something you said in your last letter interested me very much
00:27:15Now this spring I've been looking forward to seeing what you've brought me
00:27:19Something you said in your last letter interested me very much now this particular chrysalis to which you were referring
00:27:25How many days after the incubation of the caterpillar? Oh father. No more questions. Let the poor young man go to his room
00:27:31He must be exhausted after his journey. There'll be plenty of time for that later after dinner. Come let me show you your room
00:27:36Thank you. Excuse me, sir
00:27:48You
00:27:55They're magnificent
00:27:57Especially these maybe dr. Africana. Yes. Well, they're not especially rare. I'm surprised you're not interested in something more unique
00:28:04No, no. No, these are exactly what I want. You see it's a size in which I'm interested
00:28:10Why the size?
00:28:13Are you trying to develop a larger species
00:28:18Magnificent
00:28:48You
00:29:15Don't judge leave it alone
00:29:19How dare you if this had been opened it would have ruined a year's work. Well, it's only an incubator, isn't it?
00:29:25I'd have just raised the lid for a second a second would have been more than enough keep away from it
00:29:30If the temperature had dropped by even half a degree the entire experiment would have been ruined
00:29:35Why what you've got in there?
00:29:38My dear chap not another weather the fault entirely mine. It's the weather this heat oppresses me
00:29:44I think we're due for a thunderstorm
00:29:48I
00:30:01Work the heart is the center the main spring of life
00:30:07Started beating and life must be restored
00:30:10I
00:30:14Must have something
00:30:16Sweet job
00:30:17We waste our time
00:30:21Clear this away. I spoke to the more keeper this morning. He said the next corpse will be fresh
00:30:27That's what he said last time. Um, what did we get three days dead? The man have been dead for three days
00:30:35And his skull had been stove in I must have a perfect specimen
00:30:42Muscles must be subtle. So the contraction is spasmodic
00:30:49Come in there is a person to see you outside. He says his name is stock adder
00:30:56stock adder
00:30:58Good
00:31:00James this may be it
00:31:05I'm this way stock adder
00:31:14This one ought to do you governor he only snapped it two hours ago two hours
00:31:21But Howard what caused his death? I
00:31:24Think his collar is just a bit too tight for him
00:31:30Lift him onto the table
00:31:35I
00:31:47Stangled this man has been strangled. That's right governor. How did you get the body from the morgue?
00:31:53Well, it didn't really exactly reach the morgue as you might say
00:31:59You see this poor gentleman at this terrible accident just as we was coming along like
00:32:07Lucky wasn't it?
00:32:08Take pounds. I think you said governor you mean that you
00:32:12Then we ask silly questions
00:32:14Must get silly answers
00:32:18This is perfect
00:32:20Well done stock adder

00:41:50Will be an accident when you fetch your master at once, please
00:41:55Oh
00:41:59Granger you see mr. Bright well, no, mr. I haven't
00:42:11You're quick I think you can save it
00:42:18Well, if nothing I can do he's dead
00:42:22Did you know him was he another one of your students
00:42:26I've never seen him before in my life
00:42:31I'll get the police back
00:42:35No, sir, that's all he said just death's head that's all a lot of them say strange things before they go
00:42:45Generally doesn't mean anything doesn't it sir? I
00:42:49See that you're due for leave next week. I'd like you to have the case over while you're away
00:42:55I'd rather postpone my leave if you don't mind, sir
00:42:58Perhaps it'll be good for you to get away
00:43:02Maybe you're too close
00:43:03Can't see the wood for the trees in are you taking me off the case? My dear man, of course not
00:43:09Then I'd like to carry on sir
00:43:11Your daughter will be very disappointed. I'm sending her down to some relatives in Sussex now
00:43:15I'd like to put her on the train herself. Yes, of course. Well, we've nothing further to discuss but keep me informed. I will sir
00:43:25I
00:43:56I
00:44:09Sorry to keep you waiting Meg
00:44:11Don't worry father. There's plenty of time Alan. I'll be back in the office in about a couple of hours
00:44:16There's something I want you to do right away
00:44:18Find out the name of the latest victim who he was and all you can about it
00:44:21He was a young man staying at Claire house for the managers just come back from Africa some sort of insect collector
00:44:28How on earth do you know all this came in station the other afternoon asking away to Claire house?
00:44:32We had quite a bit of a chat Claire house as fast as you can
00:44:52You
00:45:02Stay where you are Meg. I'll try around the back. Well, don't be long
00:45:21I
00:45:52Ranger
00:46:11Are you there Granger?
00:46:21I
00:46:51I
00:47:21I
00:47:51I
00:48:21I
00:48:51I
00:49:15Back to the police station, but I'll miss the train catch the next but it's the last one mine will go tomorrow
00:49:22The facial wounds and scratches have nothing whatsoever to do with the cause of death
00:49:26I should say that the fatal wound was made at least three hours after those were made
00:49:31Could it have been self-inflicted impossible the puncture and severance of the spinal column was made by a long sharp weapon and by someone
00:49:38With an extraordinary knowledge of anatomy. Well, I reckon he knew too much somebody did he mean to shut him up?
00:49:52As business it is a doorknob
00:49:58You live on onions
00:50:00So where were the inspector?
00:50:03Is there any resemblance to the wounds on the other murdered man? None whatsoever. Excuse me, sir
00:50:08I'd a bit of difficulty tracing the staff and clear answer. I found the cook in the house
00:50:12Mate, they're waiting for you down the station. All right, I better get over there
00:50:21I
00:50:31Was never more surprised in all my life
00:50:33We all did the same a month's wages in your notice and told to leave at once. Well, what was the reason do you think?
00:50:39I don't know. Well, you could have knocked me down with a feather when the butler told us well the butler gave you notice
00:50:44Yes, sir
00:50:46Was he gonna notice too? I
00:50:48Don't know sir. I never said he was a strange man at his own sitting room
00:50:55We hardly ever saw him in the servants or if you ask me, I think there was some very strange goings on there
00:51:01How do you mean? I?
00:51:04Don't really know but there was something in that room behind the green door
00:51:08None of us were ever allowed in there except him not even for cleaning
00:51:12Hmm
00:51:14Well, have you any idea where professor manager might have gone?
00:51:17No, sir. Well Sam the coachman took them to the station early this morning in the Brougham
00:51:22We were told to close out the house and get out by this evening. What station was that? What?
00:51:29You're sure this we're sure. All right, not like that to forget him in a nurry
00:51:33What a fuss he made about some of the luggage wouldn't let it go in the van had to go in the carriage with him
00:51:39You mean trunks?
00:51:42Small wooden boxes they were wouldn't that either of us touch him. Anyway, I could do with more like him off a sovereign
00:51:49He gave us one each
00:51:50What was their destination up Ohio?
00:51:53Yes, sir
00:51:55That was the label we put on them
00:51:57up a hand
00:51:59It's right. Thanks
00:52:05Have the pathologist given you a report on these human remains you found no, sir. I'm still waiting for them
00:52:10I think we've got enough to issue a warrant. Don't you? Well not yet, sir
00:52:13I'd like the department to find out all they can about manager first also about the latest victim Brightwell
00:52:18You'll get full cooperation. Of course. Thank you, sir
00:52:20I'd like to leave sergeant Allen here to look after this end of the inquiry
00:52:23Mm-hmm, and you with your permission? I suppose to leave at once for upper harm
00:52:28I'll take my daughter with me as if we were on a fishing holiday
00:52:31Is that wise if your suppositions are correct? There's bound to be a certain danger
00:52:36This has got to be on your own responsibility. I understand sir. I accept it
00:52:41I wish you luck. Thank you, sir
00:52:43And what's those expense accounts?
00:52:58Father what am I meant to do here? You don't have to do anything special. Just enjoy yourself
00:53:03We're on holiday, but just remember no one must know. I'm a policeman
00:53:07I'm a bank manager from Kingston and you're my daughter miss Thompson
00:53:11The countryside's beautiful, isn't it? It is nice
00:53:15Should be at the end soon
00:53:34Good day
00:53:35Good day, miss. What's your name? Clem with us miss. Where do you live Clem?
00:53:43In the cottage by the river miss during the week
00:53:47with your parents
00:53:49No, they live in the village. I see them weekends when I'm through here. I

00:53:58Well, good day Clem
00:54:01Good day, miss
00:54:05Oh

00:54:42It's a lucky thing
00:55:05I
00:55:28Told you not to come in here
00:55:31What do you want, you know very well you must be patient
00:55:39Why do we have to come to this wretched place
00:55:42You know perfectly well why we had to leave Clare house that man Quinell is dangerous I think he suspects
00:55:49We may even have to leave here
00:55:51How long do I have to wait not long, but it will be quicker if you leave me alone
00:55:56Now get out of here
00:55:59And
00:56:01Even the house don't go outside
00:56:28Ah
00:56:49Good evening, mr. Thompson. I hope you found your rooms to your liking sir. Very comfortable. Thank you. He's Pike a magnificent
00:56:57Are there still any like them in these waters?
00:56:59No doubt there are still some there sir, but too wide to get caught
00:57:03That big bottom one was landed more than five years ago. Still you may be lucky sir. You may be lucky
00:57:07It's a beauty, isn't it about breakfast, sir? Will the young lady be taking it at the same time as yourself?
00:57:12Yes, please. We usually make up a basket for the fishing gentlemen, sir
00:57:16They mostly don't want to waste the time coming back to luncheon. If you give me notice the previous evening
00:57:20I'll have one made up for you. It's very nice of you. Are you busy just now? Oh, no, sir
00:57:24It's a bit early in the season yet for us. There are only two other guests here. Mr. Warren learned his son from Birmingham
00:57:31They came last year. Very nice gentlemen dinner will be served in about five minutes, sir. Is there anything else?
00:57:35Well, I'd like a glass of Madeira. It's not too sweet. I have a very excellent Madeira. So I'll get one ready for you
00:57:40Thank you. Oh
00:57:42Landlord, yes
00:57:44An old acquaintance of mine used to live near here a professor manager. I wonder if you know him
00:57:49I know most of them that lives around these parts, but manager. Did you say yes
00:57:54No
00:57:56No one of that name around here, sir. Thank you
00:58:11Ah, good evening

00:58:24But it's this place. They really make you comfortable and the seller wife a little out-of-the-way place like this. It's quite remarkable
00:58:32Will you join me? Oh, thank you. Will you make that too, please? Yes, sir
00:58:40Thank you
00:58:43You're very good health, mr. Ballender. Oh, thank you. I wish you luck

00:58:52their fakes
00:58:54Fakes, huh? You take another look at them
00:58:57What's the idea bring in the customers? They all hope they'll have the same luck

01:09:53You look very pale
01:09:55You all right? Yes, I'm all right. Look if you don't mind father

01:10:33I
01:11:00Couldn't get here any sooner no
01:11:03Let's move away from here. I don't like fast
01:11:33I
01:12:03I
01:12:18Still think they look prettier flying about
01:12:21Do you realize it's very rare to find one of these in England?
01:12:24They do come from Europe, but mostly further south
01:12:28Chrysalis must have come over in a crate of fruit or something
01:12:31You know that death's head shows up very well
01:12:35Yes
01:12:37What did you say? Well, oh, it's this moth. I caught this morning. Sir. I currently a atropos
01:12:42It's known as the death's head moth because of the markings on the back of the thorax. Would you like a look? Yes, please
01:12:50I'll be very careful not to touch the wings. So they're covered in delicate little scales
01:12:55Hence the name lepidoptera scaled wings
01:12:57Do you have a stronger glass that I can see them all clearly the scales? Yes. Well, I could show you underneath the microscope
01:13:04I believe I have some
01:13:06Scales on a slide here, sir. May I have a look father? Not sure. Yes, that's the one
01:13:19Would you like a look sir? Thank you
01:13:27That's fascinating. Thank you William. What a hobby you've got there. Yes, sir. Would you like a look, ma'am?
01:13:42But I can't see a thing. No, no, of course not. You've moved it out of the light. I can't see a thing
01:13:49But I can't see a thing. No, no, of course not. You've moved it out of the light
01:13:55Yeah, I'm careful
01:14:00Then on
01:14:02Sir, where's the nearest telegraph office? Well, there's a sub post office in the village, sir
01:14:06But the stable boy I'll take a message for you. Thanks. I'd rather do it myself. Oh
01:14:11Very pretty yes, but I still think you shouldn't kill them
01:14:18You couldn't wait could you
01:14:21Wasn't it? I who created you and how have you rewarded me by causing death and destruction?
01:14:28And now I have been insane enough to create another
01:14:32You mean it's ready
01:14:34Yes in a few days it would have matured and you would have had the companion you seek a male of your own species
01:14:42But now I realize what I have created. I'm going to destroy you both
01:15:04Oh
01:15:17Hello you two hello, mr. Warren are they biting sir? All right. Well today
01:15:22Where's your father mate? Isn't he coming down? He went into Farnham to meet someone. Ah pity. He's missing something
01:15:30Oh, why are you two off do oh, we're going for a little walk. Oh, well, don't be late. No. No, of course not
01:15:37Oh
01:15:58Hey William, come and lend me a hand to follow the line
01:16:02Yes, I'm hold the rod put it back that's right
01:16:14That's it
01:16:17Oh

01:16:46Oh
01:16:48Oh
01:16:50Oh
01:17:11Earrings up. Oh, hello sergeant. That was quick work. I came to say I've got your telegraph, huh?
01:17:16The steam engine is done off gun. You like some tea do a cup sir. I thought you would I bought those reports yours for us
01:17:25Yeah, just give the landlord a shot with him. Oh, yes
01:17:37Anybody about it. No, man. Sit down sergeant. See what you found out while we're waiting. Oh, yes
01:17:42Now that body that we found in the cellar. Yes, he was the butler. I know all about him. He's not the one I'm interested in
01:17:48The one who said death said Britwell sir
01:17:51Thank you
01:17:54Frederick John Britwell age 27 British no address just returned from Africa
01:17:59Educated Worcester and Oxford honors in natural history
01:18:03FRES we're getting somewhere at an FRES a fellow of the Royal Entomological Society
01:18:07For someone who studies insects now
01:18:10Carl Oscar Manninger age unknown
01:18:13Believe born in Vienna and degree in biochemistry at that University FZS FRES
01:18:19naturalized British subject
01:18:21Awarded Royal Victorian order for field research
01:18:25This
01:18:27Few research in entomology and thesis on the reproduction processes of phylum Anthropida

01:18:35Found the link
01:18:37From Billy the bug catcher Billy. There's a young lad who's staying here. Remember these? Oh, yes
01:18:43We found these on the heat. Yes
01:18:46Now these are the scales on some huge flying insect a moth moth
01:18:54You hopefully more like sir, oh, no, I'm not the young man I mentioned just now
01:18:59He showed me some scales from a death's-head moth under his microscope these are identical but they're a hundred times larger than normal size I
01:19:07Believe the professor manager either by accident or design
01:19:11Has created a huge death's-head moth that lives on human flesh
01:19:15Conference moth he kept us a clear ass. He must have done in his laboratory. I suppose. But what about the girl?
01:19:20What girl his daughter?
01:19:22Ah
01:19:24Landlord could we have some tea, please? Oh just a moment. Mr. Thompson. You got here quicker than I expected sergeant. He's in there
01:19:30Who is sir, but surely mr. Warren that told you I told me what sir
01:19:35Sergeant there's been an accident. The man's been found drowned in the river
01:19:38Well, I said was an accident, but you'll have to make up your own mind this way sergeant
01:19:43Are you still incognito? Yes
01:19:51These accidents are always very distressing to him
01:19:58I
01:20:00Wanted to see you

01:20:28How do you mean come have a look at these wounds?
01:20:31Oh
01:20:33Just a minute sergeant, you think mr. Thompson should see that Thompson says detective inspector Crennell the Metropolitan Police detective
01:20:38I thought he was something to do with the bank. He's traveling incognito saying here an important case. Oh you
01:20:44See what I meant about the wounds. Yes, exactly the same as the others
01:20:48Did you know this man? Yes, sir. That's young Clem. He was under gardener up at the old house
01:20:53I need to find his body. Oh just after you left sir. Mr. Warren was down the river fishing with your daughter and master William, sir
01:20:59You mean they saw it too. I'm afraid they did sir. Well, where are they now? I think they're up at the old house
01:21:05Sir, mr. Miles house master William often goes up there to see his collection of butterflies. He's a very nice gentleman
01:21:10How far is this house about two miles up the road? Is your cab available? Yes, sir
01:21:14I want you to take us there immediately sir. Yes, sir. Thank you. Thank you very much
01:21:19This driver all right, sir. I hope so
01:21:23Sir, do you think we should take him to the local police station?
01:21:25Yeah, I think I'll go check with the local police station in the afternoon. All right, sir
01:21:28Thank you
01:21:30Our time now sir. I think we should get going
01:21:32Thank you, sir. Shall I wait for you at the station?
01:21:35Thank you
01:21:37Do you have any information on the market?
01:21:39Is this driver all right, sir?
01:21:45I hope so.
01:21:46Sir, do you think Miles is the same person as Professor Malinger?
01:21:51I'm sure of it.
01:21:53I'm sorry, my father cannot see you.
01:21:56Oh.
01:21:57Never mind.
01:21:59It wasn't important.
01:22:01Good night.
01:22:03Wait.
01:22:04What did you want?
01:22:05Well, it's really nothing.
01:22:08It's just that I wanted to be sure about this.
01:22:11I think it's a death's head.
01:22:15It is.
01:22:19You know about moths, then?
01:22:21Yes.
01:22:22Good heavens.
01:22:23Well, thank you.
01:22:26Did you kill it?
01:22:27Yes.
01:22:28Yes, it's from my collection.
01:22:29Lovely, isn't it?
01:22:30I'll see you to the end of the drive.
01:22:31No, no, it's all right.
01:22:35I can find my own way in the dark.
01:22:36Not as well as I.
01:23:06It's all right, it's all right, it's all right, it's all right, it's all right, it's all right.
01:23:36It's all right, it's all right, it's all right, it's all right, it's all right, it's all right, it's all right, it's all right, it's all right, it's all right.
01:24:07Meg, help me!
01:24:15Can you manage, sir?
01:24:16Yes, put that fire out.
01:24:17Roger.
01:24:29What's happened, sir?
01:24:30She's fainted, that's all.
01:24:31Give me a hand.
01:24:32Right, I'll get in first.
01:24:36The fire's out, sir.
01:24:43Is she all right?
01:24:44Yes, she's fine.
01:24:48Look after her.
01:24:49Get a lantern.
01:24:59Over here, Alan.
01:25:00No, you might hit the boy.
01:25:09Fire over them.
01:25:20Are you all right, William?
01:25:21I'm all right, sir.
01:25:22Are you sure?
01:25:27You'll never hit it, Alan.
01:25:28Give me that lantern.
01:25:58Yes, sir.
01:26:25What are we going to tell them, sir?
01:26:26They'll never believe this, will they, Your Honour?
01:26:29They'll never believe it anywhere.
