Transcript

00:00I wish we had a few francs for a porter.

00:23Well, I'd help if I had a spare hand.

00:26Bloody thing.

00:27Don't say that when it makes our million.

00:30No, it won't. I'll be chasing flying pigs.

00:32What was that, dear?

00:33Nothing. Sweetheart.

00:39Here we are. That wasn't so bad, was it?

00:53Now, what do you think's less bumpy, by the window or on the eye?

00:58Oh, it's an insect. I don't mean to be funny, but it is basically an insect.

01:02A very valuable insect.

01:04And me?

01:06You're my wife.

01:06Careful.

01:14Careful.

01:36Sorry, it's a bit precious.

01:39Where are you going?

01:55Calais.

01:56Then London.

01:58Like us?

01:58Are you looking for someone?

02:07No.

02:08I wondered what the time was, that's all.

02:10Sometimes this train leaves late.

02:12It's ten past three.

02:14Perfect, then.

02:17You interested in bees?

02:19Oh, don't, Tommy.

02:19Why not? She might be. You never know.

02:21My husband is an enthusiast.

02:23Well, and a businessman.

02:24People don't really think about honey.

02:26There's plastered on their bread in the morning.

02:28But the biology that goes on behind it is...

02:32Take a look.

02:33That's a pedigree queen, if ever I saw one.

02:52She wants to get out.

02:54Well, just until I get her home.

02:56I can't drag her along on a lead all day now, can I?

02:59No.

03:01I suppose not.

03:01Plenty of people don't know about queens.

03:05For example...

03:06Actually, I need to go to the buffet.

03:08Please excuse me.

03:09Of course.

03:25Something's up with that girl.

03:26Could you see the look on her face?

03:30Are there any sandwiches?

03:31I thought I was followed onto the train.

03:40And were you?

03:40I don't know.

03:41There was a man at Bigel and just now on the platform.

03:45I can't do this.

03:46I only said I could because I felt bad and you said you were in danger.

03:49Someone is trying to kill me, Jane.

03:51All I'm asking is you carry a package to London.

03:53You're looking for a couple of people.

03:55I don't know.

03:58I can't go.

03:59I can't.

04:00You're looking for.

04:01I can't do this.

04:02I can't do this.

04:03You're being very nosy today, Tappas.

04:12Steady your nerves if you have to.

04:21I'll see you in London.

04:23We'll go dancing.

04:24Dominic.

04:25For old time's sake.

04:28Don't.

04:29Get fun, didn't we?

04:33Jane, go.

04:39What about you?

04:39Just go.

04:46Good grief, what was that?

04:48Just the noise of the train, darling.

04:49It was probably nothing.

04:57Didn't sound like nothing.

05:03What's going on?

05:06What's going on?

05:06You read too many detective novels, you know that?

05:32Nonsense.

05:37You hear the slightest noise on the train, and you think catastrophically murder, mayhem.

05:45You should read the paper more.

05:49Get his feet!

05:53Well, what about that girl?

05:54Do you think she's coming back?

06:03Tappas.

06:11At least we know her name.

06:14Jane Finn.

06:15Jane Finn.

07:46Maybe I should just phone that inspector again.

07:49I wish you'd put your energy into our actual business.

07:53Could you move out?

07:54No, watch Tiffin, because you're just...

07:56I am watching Tiffin.

07:56Oh, Tommy, there isn't room.

07:57Ow!

07:57I do put my energy into our business.

08:10I painted the signs, and I put up the hives.

08:14Do you answer the dot?

08:17Mum!

08:19It'll be the postman with a pile of bills.

08:21Dad!

08:23Why can't you look on the bright side?

08:25Might be an order.

08:27Might be someone asking for a tonne of honey.

08:29Oh, Tommy, it's too early for rampant optimism.

08:31Rampant something would be nice.

08:33What does it mean when the ink is red?

08:54Have you packed your trunk?

08:58Chin up.

08:59Back soon.

09:01Tiffin!

09:03Tiffin!

09:05Tiffin, get away from the hives!

09:07No!

09:08Tiffin!

09:08Tiffin, how many times have I talked?

09:10Here you are, darling.

09:13Yes, thank you.

09:14I found these.

09:16In the bin.

09:17We need a steady income, Tommy.

09:19I'm doing everything that the book says.

09:21We were conned.

09:23We went all the way to France for that queen.

09:25There'll be honey, weren't there, George?

09:27Don't bring George into this.

09:28He's going back to school.

09:30Dad hasn't read the book.

09:32The B book.

09:33He hasn't read it.

09:34I have read the book.

09:36Of course I've read the book.

09:37Now, Tuppers, don't think I haven't read the book.

09:39Thanks for the tip, darling.

09:47Take care.

09:49And write to us every week.

09:55Tell me when we get rich.

10:00Thank you, Roger.

10:00Hello, Fraser.

10:01No trouble, Tommy.

10:03Hold tight, boys.

10:09I can't believe you haven't read that book.

10:11I told you.

10:12I have.

10:14Every page.

10:14You can't believe what George tells you.

10:18You need to get a job, Tommy.

10:26Uncle Carter is bound to have something, Tommy.

10:29He's an army man, and I'm sure he's looking for help.

10:32Just remember, sit up straight, and don't interrupt him.

13:29All of us on the third floor, we don't exist.

13:33Do you know what that means?

13:34Hush, hush.

13:35Keeping the communists out, that's what it means.

13:38Doing our damnedness to keep the dirty reds over there.

13:40They're calling it a cold war.

13:44And it's dangerous work, secretive and precise, honourable.

13:52And yes, yes, at times, like poetry.

13:55But damn it, Tom, it's just about every endeavour you embark upon ends in disaster.

14:02Think about school.

14:04University.

14:05God.

14:06And the war?

14:07Most men at least make it as far as the barracks.

14:12My nephew gets off the train and is run over by a catering van.

14:15It was going fast.

14:17You're a stay-at-home man.

14:19You're a...

14:20Slippers and paper man.

14:22Hmm?

14:23I wish I could offer you a position, but...

14:27I'm sorry.

14:28The field.

14:31It's not for you.

14:37I'll keep paying George's school fees as long as you need.

14:42Goodbye, Uncle.

14:48Don't blame me.

14:50Blim Stalin.

15:20Blim Stalin.

15:21Blim Stalin.

15:47Blin Stalin.

15:48Blin Stalin.

15:49Blin Stalin.

15:50Any more bets? Any more bets for the 12.30? Place your bets.

16:01This Paris mist is a disaster. It's going to be done to me to find a replacement. Don't tell me.

16:06Brown's ringing in an hour.

16:18Can I help you?

16:18I'd like to put a shilling on the favourite for the...

16:2412.30.

16:28Catford or Cardiff?

16:33Catford.

16:45We've got a problem. I don't know where she is.

16:48I can't find her.

16:51How can I cover it up?

16:54A replacement? I can't just click my fingers and find one or...

16:58Your dog just came in.

17:05What?

17:07When you're listening, your dog just came in.

17:17You fancy a job?

17:26It's a job.

17:27It's a job. Like any other. And it's a lot easier than most. You take a suitcase, you get on a train, you go to an address in Paris.

17:39Paris?

17:40Paris?

17:41Hmm. Do you like foreign travel?

17:42What do I do when I get there?

17:43You just live, really?

17:44You just live, really?

17:45You take a name that we give you.

17:46And you go to a flat that we tell you.

17:47And then you just live.

17:48You just turn the lights on in the evening. You put things in the refrigerator. You take things out of the refrigerator.

17:52You sleep on the bed. You might send the odd letter. Take your odd stroll.

17:56You just turn the lights on in the evening. You put things in the refrigerator. You take things out of the refrigerator. You sleep on the bed. You might send the odd letter. Take your odd stroll.

18:10But then six weeks later, you come home. Easy.

18:26What name do I take?

18:27I don't know. Something common. Something random. Something that doesn't attract a lot of attention. For instance, Jane Finn.

18:39That particular name. For instance.

18:46And what if I prefer Susan? Susan Smith. Much more common.

18:56Look. I know a woman that's down on her lap when I see one.

19:08You're not used to places like this. People like me. Take the job.

19:17And live as Susan?

19:19We prefer Jane.

19:21Funny.

19:22I met a girl called Jane Finn. On the train. Now, isn't that odd?

19:34Did you? Really?

19:36She left her book in the carriage. And in it this. I guess you know him too.

19:51What?

19:52All right, bitch.

19:53Who are you working for?

19:54You're one of Rita's little maids, I'll bet. What's she tell you?

20:07Why are you covering up the disappearance of a girl?

20:10You are in mug. The like of which you've not encountered in your short and protected life, Mrs.

20:20If this is blackmail, I'll give you money.

20:29But you better forget we ever had this conversation.

20:34Well, that little hat of yours might not have a head to sit on.

20:40Oh!

20:49Is that right or is it?

20:54Yeah?

20:59No.

21:01No, no.

21:06Oi!

21:21You dropped your glove.

21:59What on earth took you so long?

22:01Something terrible has happened.

22:03What on earth?

22:04No, not there.

22:05We need to take him off first.

22:06Who?

22:07Him.

22:08Who is he?

22:09What's going on?

22:10What on earth?

22:11No, not there.

22:12We need to take him off first.

22:13Who?

22:14Him.

22:15Who is he?

22:16Who is he?

22:17What's going on?

22:22Here.

22:23Come over.

22:24Get out, Tommy.

22:25Go on.

22:26Go on.

22:27There we go.

22:28Keep the job.

22:29Come on, Tommy.

22:30What the hell are we doing?

22:39Kiss me.

22:40What?

22:41Kiss me.

22:42Come on.

22:43Come on.

22:44Where did you learn all this?

22:45John Buchan.

22:46Conan Doyle.

22:47Dorothy L. Sayers.

22:48Books.

22:49And boarding school.

22:50Dodging the house mistress.

22:51Yes, madam.

22:52Two whiskeys, please.

22:53Madam, are you going to tell me what's going on?

22:54Jane Finn.

22:55That's what's going on.

22:56The missing girl.

22:57I knew there was more to it.

22:58What's that?

22:59Proof that I wasn't wrong.

23:00There you go, madam.

23:01And the means to buy a new hat.

23:02Oh.

23:03Oh.

23:04Oh.

23:05Oh.

23:06Oh.

23:07Oh.

23:08Oh.

23:09Oh.

23:10Oh.

23:11Oh.

23:12Oh.

23:13Oh.

23:14Oh.

23:15Oh.

23:16Oh.

23:17Oh.

23:18Oh.

23:19Oh.

23:20Oh.

23:21Oh.

23:22Oh.

23:23Oh.

23:24Oh.

23:25Oh.

23:26All you need to do is go in and make a bet.

23:28Just see if you overhear anything.

23:30And then what?

23:31Oh, we'll go to the police, of course.

23:32They'll listen, then.

23:33The more evidence we have, the better.

23:42Locked.

23:43Now isn't that odd.

23:51Go.

23:52Go.

23:53Go.

24:21We'll go.

24:22Let's go.

24:23Oh, we'll go.

24:27Oh, we'll go.

24:28Oh, andьют.

24:30Oh.

24:31Oh, wait.

24:32Oh, man.

24:34Oh, wait...

24:36Oh, man.

24:37Oh, man.

24:38Oh, man.

24:39Oh, yeah.

24:40Oh, yeah.

24:41Oh, sure.

24:42Oh, it's lovely.

24:43Oh, let's go.

24:44Oh.

24:45Okay, this is where we leave it.

25:00We walk back to the police station, you tell them what you told me, and we go back to our lives.

25:04Well, aren't you just a little bit curious?

25:06There's nothing here, Tom, so even if I was cured...

25:07No, no, that is where you're wrong.

25:09There's a man called Brown, and there's a woman called Rita.

25:12He thought I worked for her.

25:13This is London. There must be a million Browns or Rhetas.

25:28There's also this.

25:29What is it, a shopping list?

25:31It's a bill in the name of Vandermeer for a Paris hotel.

25:36Give me that.

25:38Why, Mr. Beresford, I do believe your pulse has quickened just a little.

25:43Someone called Vandermeer stayed at the Hotel de Marbe of Paris the day before Jane disappeared.

25:53Watch the table.

25:54Don't you think that's significant?

25:56Significant in what respect?

25:58They are soup spoons, Tablans.

26:00We need dessert spoons.

26:01And why ask me to pretend to be a woman that's missing?

26:08That doesn't make sense.

26:09Onion.

26:11Unless...

26:13Unless they're setting a trap for someone.

26:16Carrot.

26:17But who?

26:19That's the question.

26:20Parsley.

26:21This chives, Tappans.

26:23Even you must know the difference.

26:25Of course, I'm forgetting.

26:27The gun.

26:28There was a gunshot.

26:30Can we just try and keep our imagination under control for one evening?

26:33I'm perfectly under control, but if he will invite himself round to dinner, then the least

26:37he can do is listen.

26:40No, no, wait, wait.

26:41Who needs a stinking job?

27:05Ah, hi.

27:06Sir George.

27:07Ah, thank you.

27:08It'll need to be broken in.

27:09Hello.

27:09Hello, come in.

27:10Come in.

27:11Jane Finn.

27:20You're sure he said that particular name?

27:23I'm absolutely sure.

27:25You couldn't have confused it with perhaps Janet or Julio?

27:30Quite certain.

27:34Well, uh...

27:36You need to forget all about it.

27:38Put it...

27:39Put it right out of your mind altogether.

27:41Well, at least tell us what you suspect.

27:47Abduction.

27:48Murder.

27:49Thank you so much, uh, for dinner.

28:00Uh, it was...

28:01No, no, I-I-I couldn't possibly.

28:04It's all-it's all hush-hush.

28:06That's what it is.

28:07That's a pity.

28:08It's about to be rather more loud-loud.

28:10You tell him, Tommy.

28:11We just put an advertisement in the paper.

28:19You did what?

28:20The Times.

28:21Asking for any information regarding the disappearance of Jane Finn.

28:24Uh...

28:24Yes.

28:25Yes, of course.

28:29Yes, of course.

28:32Tomorrow.

28:33I have a fucking toe on my toe.

28:35Well, how do you think I feel about it?

28:38No, I trust them completely.

28:39If you think that's necessary.

28:45Oh, for God's sake, say something.

28:59You're making us feel like naughty school children.

29:03Jane Finn was, uh, just an innocent girl.

29:07Caught up in something rather sinister.

29:08Look, if I explain, then there's no turning back.

29:14You have to be certain.

29:23At this very moment,

29:26a top Soviet agent

29:28is here in Britain.

29:31A political assassin

29:32suspected of many killings.

29:34An assassin?

29:37I should sit down.

29:38Do I need a pencil?

29:39No, sit down.

29:42We don't know his identity.

29:44No idea who the target is.

29:46All we know is that he likes to call himself Mr. Brown.

29:50My department got a tip-off

29:51that this Brown had been activated by Russia

29:54and would be making his move in the next few weeks.

29:58What do you mean, make his move?

30:02Someone in British public life will be found dead.

30:06Oh, my goodness.

30:07Tommy, are you listening to all of this?

30:09The man shot on the train was Dominic Villiers.

30:13He was a member of my department

30:15working undercover in Europe.

30:18Two weeks ago, he sent me a coded message

30:20saying he was coming back to London

30:21with a tape recording

30:22which he thought might reveal Brown's identity.

30:27Looks as though that message was intercepted

30:29because Carl Villiers was shot dead.

30:32And the recording?

30:34Oh, I'm not sure.

30:36Is this where Jane Finn comes in?

30:39Yes, she was on the train with Villiers.

30:41They met in Paris and, uh...

30:44Well, they became friends, it seems.

30:45So, the question is...

30:48Did he pass the recording to Jane before he was killed?

30:53And if so, where is she now?

30:55Do you know, Tommy, you're rather good at this.

30:57Not bad for a pipe-and-slippers man, eh?

31:00Might Jane have hidden the recording

31:03before she disappeared?

31:06Yes, that's all we can hope for.

31:11Right, what we're going to do is this.

31:13You've already put an advertisement in the newspaper

31:15mentioning Jane's disappearance.

31:18Well, we can't do anything about that.

31:19That's done.

31:21But I want to know everything about anyone who answers,

31:24what they say, what they look like, everything.

31:25You understand?

31:26You're working for me now.

31:28But you have to be careful.

31:30This Brown is a pretty unpleasant character.

31:34And he's clever.

31:37So your job is to observe, that's all.

31:40If you feel you're in any danger,

31:43then you report to this telephone number, 379.

31:46Say it now.

31:47379.

31:48379.

31:49You memorize it.

31:50And if things get bad,

31:52there can be no police.

31:54You're on your own.

31:57And the code word is 200 all out.

32:00If anyone uses that phrase, then they're safe.

32:04Cricket.

32:05What?

32:06Oh, yes, yes.

32:10This is a cold war we're fighting now.

32:17Don't let me down.

32:18Don't let me down.

32:18Well, how about that?

32:37Reading books and doing this are quite different tuppence.

32:40Nonsense.

32:42It's just meeting a few people.

32:45And what would you rather be doing?

32:47Feeding the bees?

32:48Walking the dog?

32:50Making jam to send to George?

32:55A secret assassin?

32:58A missing girl?

33:01A communist plot?

33:02I mean, don't you think we're all born for this kind of thing?

33:05Two replies.

33:26I'm Jane's uncle.

33:28Mr. Hirshheimer.

33:31Who wants to meet at the Ritz?

33:33The other is unsigned.

33:35Who wants to meet us on Sydney Street?

33:38Well, I can guess where we were going first.

33:40But both meetings are today.

33:42This morning, oh, God, Tommy, drive like the wind.

33:50Thank you for replying to our advertisement.

33:52You're not what I expected.

33:55Well, well...

33:56Well...

33:57I mean, you're much too good-looking.

34:00Private investigators are short and dumpy.

34:04Wear sensible shoes.

34:06Whereas that hat...

34:07Sorry, have we already started?

34:11This is my husband, Thomas Beresford.

34:14Ah, I see.

34:18Well, I just hope you two get further than the police did.

34:25So you've been in contact with the police?

34:28Sure.

34:29But as far as the British police are concerned, Jane disappeared in France.

34:34So it's France's problem.

34:36The French just don't want to know.

34:38Private investigators are the only way to go.

34:40So when I saw your ad...

34:41Isn't it not that you're supposed to ask me when did I last see my niece?

34:49Yes.

34:51Well, I was about to ask you that.

34:53Two months ago.

34:55She was studying languages at Cambridge.

34:57She received a scholarship to go to Paris.

35:00Her parents are deceased.

35:02So I agreed.

35:04I even drove her to the ferry.

35:07If I knew that was going to be the last time I saw her...

35:10You British have a saying.

35:15Hindsight's a wonderful thing.

35:21Do you have children?

35:23Just one.

35:26Sorry.

35:27And him.

35:31Any sugar?

35:34Try Sweetarelle.

35:36It's better for you.

35:37What is it?

35:38I like to think it's the future.

35:40In its modest way.

35:42Could I just check on something?

35:44You said you reported Jane missing straight away...

35:47But the police say there's no record of that...

35:49Until she didn't turn up at Cambridge last week.

35:51That's ridiculous.

35:52I spoke to an Inspector Brown nearly ten days ago...

35:55And told him the whole story.

35:57Brown, you say?

35:58I think that's it.

35:59I think that's it.

36:01Is that relevant?

36:03It could be.

36:05Did you meet him in person?

36:07No, we spoke on the phone.

36:09Is there something wrong?

36:10Sweeter out.

36:11It's delicious, isn't it?

36:15We'll do what we can.

36:16If you need money, just call.

36:17As you can see, I'm a rich man.

36:19I just want Jane back.

36:22Well, there may be one or two expenses.

36:23Anything.

36:25Call me anytime.

36:26I didn't like him.

36:33Really?

36:34I thought he was...

36:35What?

36:36Charming.

36:37Topper!

36:39What the hell?

36:41He could have killed you.

36:43You don't think that was a warning, do you?

36:45From Brown?

36:51Come on.

36:56Well, this is Sydney Street.

37:00What number did the letter say?

37:02It didn't.

37:05Are you Mrs. Burrsford?

37:07Yes.

37:08This is for you.

37:11Wait a minute.

37:17Where's he gone?

37:22No name.

37:24No marking.

37:25Do you think whoever sent this was scared off as well?

37:28Let me see that.

37:34Smell.

37:39Smells like an envelope.

37:41I've got a friend I met during the war.

37:42He works near here.

37:43He should see this.

37:44Whose imagination is running away with them now?

37:46If it was a bomb, it would tick.

37:49It does.

37:55It does.

37:56It does.

37:58Well...

37:59I need to go...

38:00Ah, ah, James, patience.

38:02Where's this house?

38:04Here we go.

38:04Three, two, one...

38:08Ah. Sorry, chaps. Run along.

38:11Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

38:14We'll get over it, Daniels. Go and run round the field or something.

38:17Go. Go, go, go. Shoo, shoo.

38:21Tommy!

38:24Told you we'd meet again.

38:28How do you like this, huh?

38:30All those years defusing bombs, and now I get to blow things up.

38:33Boys must love you.

38:34I take a few risks. Burn my eyebrows occasionally. They seem to like that.

38:38This is my wife, Tuppence. Pleased to meet you.

38:41Hello.

38:42We met in the hospital way.

38:44Injured together. You never forget that.

38:48Were you hit by the catering van as well?

38:50No. I was in the front line.

38:53But the catering van was no small beast, and driven by a maniac.

38:57Tommy was very brave.

38:59I'm sure he was.

39:00Could you take a look at this?

39:03Tighten the other side, would you?

39:05Tighten the other side, would you?

39:08Oh, this damn hand.

39:10Good.

39:12Good.

39:13Oh, my goodness, Tommy. Are you all right? I mean, that was quite a bang.

39:19There's no need to be sarcastic, Tuppence.

39:20Sarcastic? Never.

39:21Sarcastic?

39:22Never.

39:23To Jane.

39:24With all my love.

39:26Julius.

39:27Did she have a watch when she went missing?

39:28Did she have a watch when she went missing?

39:29Oh, my goodness, Tommy.

39:30Are you all right?

39:31I mean, that was quite a bang.

39:32Oh, my goodness.

39:33Oh, my goodness, Tommy. Are you all right? I mean, that was quite a bang.

39:34Oh, my goodness, Tommy. Are you all right? I mean, that was quite a bang.

39:35There's no need to be sarcastic, Tuppence.

39:36Sarcastic? Never.

39:37To Jane.

39:38With all my love, Julius.

39:46Did she have a watch when she went missing?

39:51I can't remember.

39:52Julius.

39:53Must be Uncle Julius, don't you think?

39:56What about these?

39:57What?

39:58Well, we have a dark room here.

40:00don't you think? What about these? Well, we have a dark room here.

40:10Tommy.

40:22Would you?

40:24Dominic Villiers. The man on the train. Why have we been sent this?

40:31Life as a teacher doesn't quite do it the way that my war work did.

40:35If you found yourself an adventure, then it would be unsporting of you not to share it.

40:40I'm still perfectly capable.

40:51Jane and Dominic Villiers.

40:54Good grief.

41:03What?

41:04Look.

41:08It's us.

41:13They know all about us.

41:15Right.

41:16They probably know where we live.

41:19Who we are.

41:21Oh, God, Tommy. What if they get to George?

41:23I don't know. Toppence, I don't like this any more than you do.

41:25It's more than a warning this time. Sending a motorcyclist is one thing, but this is, it's a command. It's back off or else.

41:33What did you do that for?

41:35A car. Did you notice it behind us before?

41:37What car?

41:38There.

41:40I think I saw it when I left the school.

41:43Oh, heck.

41:45Don't jump to conclusions.

41:46Oh, don't tell me. Lots of cars that look like that probably drive around this neighborhood all the time.

41:50Don't do that.

41:52Oh, Tommy, what have you got ourselves into?

41:54Oh, you got us into it.

41:55No, I didn't.

41:57We need to do something.

41:59Well, what?

42:01Let's call cars.

42:06Well, you two wandered out of your depths.

42:09If I had my doubts about the pair of you, it turns out they were justified.

42:12Where was my report? Where was my phone call?

42:14Where was telling me what the hell you were doing?

42:17We're terribly sorry.

42:18Oh.

42:19Oh, sorry.

42:21As it happens to me, Albert Pemberton still does the odd bit of work for us.

42:27The British government would lose an asset like that.

42:30Okay, we've stuck him in a school, and he's got a piece of wood for an arm, but, um...

42:38He still has his uses.

42:42You have no training.

42:44You have to remember that.

42:46Very little common sense, it seems.

42:49Be under no illusion.

42:51Mr. Brown is no small adversary.

42:53If you were to get close to finding Jane Finn, then your lives would certainly be in danger.

43:01Now, I understand you have sent her a fob watch, which I will pass on to my technicians on the third floor.

43:07Yes, Albert sent it to me.

43:09Right.

43:10Let's hope there are some fingerprints left on it.

43:17Of course, Major.

43:21There was nothing else in the envelope, just the watch.

43:24Yes, I mean...

43:26No, just that.

43:28Tuffers?

43:29Absolutely.

43:32Right.

43:34Right, well, let's get some cakes.

43:40Albert didn't mention the photographs.

43:42Neither did you.

43:44Yes, but why keep it a secret from Carter?

43:47It doesn't make sense.

43:49If Albert is working with Carter, why not tell him the whole story?

43:53Because I happen to think you have got a better chance of finding Jane Finn than Carter and his team.

43:57But you need some help.

43:59I let myself in, hope you don't mind.

44:01We're a team now, the three of us.

44:04Do we have any choice?

44:06Not really.

44:07I've got anything to eat, only I'm starving.

44:10Of course.

44:12School dinners at that place are dreadful.

44:14Clearly.

44:21Oh, yes, it moves.

44:23I invented it myself.

44:25One day, I'll take it off and show you.

44:27It's very impressive.

44:29The Reds these days are full of fancy gadgets.

44:31Exploding pencils, umbrellas with poison in the tip.

44:34Firstly, I think you were bystanders in that photo.

44:38Look at the background in all of the pictures.

44:47It's the man with the birthmark.

44:49The one who was chasing us.

44:51Where?

44:52There.

44:55And there he is again.

44:59So he was on the train.

45:02There's something else.

45:03Go on.

45:07The woman he is with.

45:08Exactly.

45:10If you could just bring that photo here for me.

45:15She's behind you on the platform.

45:17Yes?

45:18Yeah.

45:19She's communicating with the man with the birthmark on the Champs Elysees.

45:23And in the cafe.

45:26In the cafe there again.

45:29Only this time, there is a monogram on her luggage with the initials RV.

45:39Rita.

45:41They mentioned a Rita.

45:43And the bill from the hotel.

45:44Erm...

45:46Er...

45:48Er...

45:49Vandermeer?

45:51Vandermeer?

45:52Rita Vandermeer.

45:53Could that be it?

45:55Whoever sent this photo has given you a way into the gang.

45:59This Rita could lead you to the missing girl.

46:10Yes, I got what you said.

46:13Yes, it's all said.

46:14I got it hidden.

46:20But what's an opera singer doing getting mixed up in all this?

46:22I don't know.

46:24Let's hope she hasn't already found someone.

46:32Stop it.

46:33Stop what?

46:34It's just a wig and some make-up.

46:36You're trying to find a missing girl, remember?

46:38The recording that identifies Brown?

46:43Well, it's just...

46:44What?

46:48Well, I'm not quite sure of the word.

46:58You're welcome.

47:03I just think it quite, erm...

47:07Well, you know, any time you wanted to...

47:09Stop it.

47:10Sorry.

47:17That's him.

47:18That's the man who offered me a job.

47:22What?

47:25Halfway.

47:28See?

47:30Drawing pin in a tire works every time.

47:33Another trick from a book.

47:34At least I read my books, Tommy.

47:36All right.

47:38Well, wish me luck.

47:40And me?

47:42Oh, you were born to play the part.

47:44Any time you wanted to play the part at home...

47:45Tommy, stop it.

47:47Sorry.

47:48Follow him, Tommy. Stay close to him.

47:50Yes.

47:51No.

47:54No!

47:55No, no.

47:57It's okay.

47:58No, you're gonna cry.

48:00No, don't start.

48:02No.

48:04No, no, no.

48:05No, no.

48:07No.

48:09No!

48:10Oh, my God.

48:40I saw downstairs you were looking for a maid.

48:43Can you type?

48:47Of course I can.

48:55Only the last girl was too slow.

48:57Forty words a minute or you're out on your ear.

49:00Don't step on the carpet. It's original Persian.

49:03Mind your feet. Sorry.

49:05My memoirs.

49:07We don't look so astounded.

49:10Principal soprano royal opera house for seven seasons.

49:141932, 1933, right up until the war.

49:18I sang Madame Butterfly in front of the king.

49:21Paris, Berlin, and now again here in London.

49:26You'd better get a pencil. I want to get it ready.

49:32So that after my next performance,

49:35well, the world wakes up.

49:38Weary but resplendent.

49:41One evening I emerged from my dressing room

49:44to find a rowdy group of German fans,

49:47clamoring for my autograph.

49:49Rita! Rita!

49:51Rita!

49:52Rita!

49:53You begged me to speak to them for a while.

49:55Of course I was in an awful lot.

49:57I was due to birthday party for a common

50:00clubbing general politician,

50:01who shall remain religious.

50:03But I have always made time for those with the good sense to adore me.

50:08I shall always remember the pleasure of those little children.

50:13Oh, dear.

50:14Oh, dear.

50:16I'm so sorry.

50:17I'm so sorry to you.

50:18I'm so sorry to you.

50:20I'm so sorry to you.

50:21Oh, my God.

50:51What? I'm here to meet the Spanish cousin.

51:13Can I help you?

51:15Just browsing.

51:21What? I'm here to meet the Spanish cousin.

51:31What? I'm here to meet the Spanish cousin.

51:38Mind you, don't put your elbows on the table. I've just had it polished.

51:55If you see a fly, get hit with a swat.

51:59Finished the chapter yet?

52:00His mother is comfortable and his talented and so does.

52:11Oh, my God.

52:14Oh, my God.

52:15Oh, my God.

52:16Oh, my God.

52:17Oh, my God.

52:20Oh, my God.

52:21Oh, my God.

52:23Oh, my God.

52:24It's all right, you know?

52:54Please, please, let go of my jacket. Please, please, thank you.

53:05Hang on a minute. You aren't Drennan, are you?

53:10Drennan?

53:12I'm right, aren't I?

53:13They said you were some sort of bigwig.

53:16No wonder you went into this.

53:19I didn't offend you or anything, did I?

53:22Oh, no, no, of course not.

53:23They're waiting upstairs.

53:35I have waited for everyone who wants to participate in.

53:38I'd appreciate the odds.

53:40And I do.

53:45Okay, let's do it.

53:46Don't do it.

53:47Don't do it.

53:48Don't do it.

53:50Yes.

53:51I want to tell Bran.

53:52Well, you'll tell Brownie, because Brown is relying on you.

53:57So when you sing at that doom...

53:59I am trustworthy.

54:00Everyone knows that I can do it.

54:04I thought you said no one was here.

54:05Just some girl doing some typing.

54:07Hey!

54:07I can't get the money.

54:11It's the most important thing.

54:14Hey, wait a minute.

54:15Are you a member?

54:17I said, are you a member?

54:19This is a members-only club.

54:21Yes, I am a member.

54:22Well, I've never met you before.

54:25Come here!

54:25Get Whittington.

54:34I thought we've got someone here who doesn't belong.

54:39Hang on a minute.

54:42Haven't we met before?

54:43You're in a lot of trouble, aren't you?

54:57I can see some fun here.

54:58Another locked door.

55:00Another secret.

55:02Thomas and Tapperts are benescent.

55:03Will you listen to me?

55:04I am saying no!

55:05Can I be?

55:06Absolutely.

55:06I'm going to enjoy this.

55:11We led him to believe we were private investigators.

55:15That was your idea.

55:16You were ingenious, you know that?

55:18Where did you learn that trick?

55:19Girl guides.
