Transcript
00:00So, can you use a gun?
00:23I prefer fists. Who will I be fighting?
00:27Our enemies. Have you ever been to prison?
00:32Why'd you ask?
00:34The terms you're willing to take.
00:36What did you do?
00:39My pals saw something in his shop window that I wanted.
00:43So I drove into it. It's called a smash-
00:45Smash and grab. Yes, I know. I do read the papers.
00:48It says here you've recently worked for a film actor.
00:52Yes.
00:53As his bodyguard?
00:55Amongst other things.
00:57But before that, in this bookshop...
01:06Why did you leave there?
01:09I didn't care for him.
01:11And you're happy with this arrangement?
01:14A book has his life. I have mine. It works.
01:17I'm amazed more people don't do it.
01:21I knew him.
01:23Your father. I knew him before the war.
01:26You knew him?
01:32Jack?
01:34Ah, this is...
01:36I can't... I can't...
01:38Jack, where are you going?
01:40But your previous employer trusted you?
01:46Yes.
01:47Despite your history?
01:49Because of it.
01:50Perhaps.
01:54And should we trust you?
02:00Well, I suppose you'll find out...
02:02when the next assassin comes.
02:20Nora.
02:22I never did it.
02:23Never did what?
02:24Made shillings out of ice and put them in the meter.
02:29What's all this corrosion, then?
02:33That's rust.
02:34Yes, it is.
02:37Cold, isn't it?
02:38We could burn a few.
02:39No, we couldn't.
02:40Not even the Georgette Hayes.
02:41No, really, Nora.
02:42For someone so new to the pleasures of reading,
02:43you're fast becoming a terrible snob.
03:00What is it?
03:03Feels quiet without him.
03:06God bless the waltz again!
03:22And all who sail in her.
03:25Oh, God!
03:27Jesus!
03:28Oh, bloody hell!
03:31Do forgive me, my dear.
03:32I seem to be in a state of advanced refreshment.
03:35Oh, I had noticed, Victor.
03:36Just stay...
03:37stay there.
03:38I'll fetch a cloth.
03:44Cigarette, sir.
03:45Dunhill, all capsules.
03:49Sir?
03:53Can we talk?
03:55Thank you, sir.
03:56Here.
03:57It's for him.
03:59Oh.
04:01Please enjoy.
04:02Not enough lemon juice.
04:03Too much ice.
04:04And I did not like the way you shook it.
04:05Too violent.
04:06Mm-hmm.
04:07Of course.
04:08Excuse me.
04:09Excuse me.
04:21Please enjoy.
04:24Not enough lemon juice.
04:25Too much ice.
04:26And I did not like the way you shook it.
04:27Too violent.
04:28Mm-hmm.
04:29Of course.
04:30Excuse me.
04:31They think I'm too violent.
04:32It's a violent art.
04:33Good thing I didn't waste any gin on them then.
04:35You're a quick learner.
04:38Oh, thank you.
04:40I'm glad you've fallen on your feet.
04:41I had no idea what I was going to hate for you.
04:43No, that's not surprising.
04:44Oh, no.
04:46No, no?
04:47Excuse me.
04:49They think I'm too violent.
04:50It's a violent art.
04:52Good thing I didn't waste any gin on them then.
04:56You're a quick learner.
04:57I'm glad you've fallen on your feet.
05:04I had no idea you'd be here.
05:06We haven't seen you in weeks.
05:07How are you?
05:08Look, I haven't got long.
05:10What do you want?
05:13Oh, Jack.
05:15This is silly.
05:17We miss you.
05:19We both hoped you'd found a safe birth in Archangel Lane.
05:22A home.
05:23Booker me.
05:25Well, our arrangement is unusual, I know.
05:27But as I said to you, when we first met...
05:29Love is where it falls.
05:30Hmm.
05:32And how does my father fit into all of that?
05:36Yeah.
05:37One of Mr. Book's little dalliances, was he?
05:39Well, Book needs to talk to you about your father properly.
05:43Look, our marriage protects us both.
05:45Don't we have the right to be happy?
05:47Happy?
05:48Well, gallivanting off into the night.
05:50In with God knows who and you.
05:52Is that the latest, is it?
05:55Fellow with a moustache.
05:57He's Captain Orr.
05:57I knew him before the war.
05:59Oh.
05:59Dreamboat of the officer's mess, was he?
06:01Hmm.
06:01Something like that.
06:03Listing slightly now, though, eh?
06:05Trotty!
06:07You don't know how to pick them.
06:10Mrs. Bug.
06:12Well, we better not keep him waiting.
06:15Excuse me.
06:16Oh, come to my room and help me dry off.
06:28I'm wet, woman.
06:30Give me the damn cloth.
06:31Come on.
06:32Get your ruddy hands off me.
06:34I won't have it.
06:35For shame.
06:37Oh, dear, sir.
06:38Oh, you've had a right mishap.
06:40Who's this?
06:40Wet trousers are against the dress code, you know?
06:43It's the Walsingham.
06:44So, why don't you go back to your room,
06:46take the wet pants off, and have a little lay down.
06:48I have never been so insulted.
06:51I'm sure you have been, a fellow like you.
06:53Ah, Victor Orr, my old friend.
06:55I can't leave you alone for five minutes, can I?
06:58That a girl can't take a joke.
07:00Sit down.
07:01Er, can we have a couple of those?
07:03What do you call them?
07:05Four serum sours.
07:06For the two ladies.
07:07For their royal highnesses, you mean?
07:10These are on me, ladies.
07:12And may I say, you are looking superbly Balkan tonight.
07:16I salute the house of Scutari.
07:20Whichever commissar lives in it now.
07:22Take a good look, Trotty.
07:24That's what happens to you when you get dethroned by the Reds.
07:27Oh, dear.
07:30Allow me.
07:32So embarrassing.
07:33I do apologize.
07:34Not at all, not at all.
07:36Look after the pennies,
07:38and the pounds will look after themselves.
07:40What?
07:47I, er,
07:48had a bit of luck on the horses.
07:52You, er,
07:53you know, Ascot?
07:54Very well, sir.
07:56How is the going?
07:58Oh, er,
07:59good to firm.
08:01After this,
08:03shall we, er...
08:05Normally my favorite ellipsis,
08:09but I just think we should call it a night now, Victor.
08:11Oh, Trotty.
08:13You're no fun anymore.
08:15It's amazing how different things can look
08:17without the benefit of the blackout.
08:21Here's to Joe Stalin's next stroke.
08:24Tinkety-tonk.
08:25Victor.
08:35Victor.
08:37Oh,
08:39oh,
08:40oh,
08:44Victor.
08:45Victor.
08:47Oh, my God.
09:17Oh, my God.
09:47Oh, my God.
10:17What's the price of a green penguin crime novel?
10:22A shilling.
10:23Ah, that's better.
10:37Ah, success.
10:38Oh, it's you.
11:06You ready to commit an affray, miss?
11:08No, Sergeant.
11:08She was just, um, browsing.
11:11I hate to seem inquisitive, but why are you here?
11:13There's a chap being killed at the walls in them.
11:15Poisoned.
11:16Dead in a pile of pound notes on the floor of the river bar.
11:19Oh, that's just our sort of thing.
11:21Don't get too excited.
11:22The inspector wants a book.
11:24A G-book, Esquire.
11:25There's some foreign royalty involved, it seems.
11:29He says, uh, do you have anything on the Balkan rules of revenge?
11:34Specifically, the canon of Scutari.
11:38How too, too ridiculously obscure.
11:41Do you have it?
11:41Almost certainly.
11:42Mm.
11:43And, uh, 504, he says.
11:46504.
11:47Room with a view?
11:48Well, it's all right for some, I suppose.
11:50Mrs. Book's already checked in.
11:52Why?
11:53Oh, uh, she's one of the suspects.
11:58Trouble in paradise, he says so.
12:01Oh, ho, what a beautiful place.
12:31Beauty.
12:32Yes.
12:32Might be one of those clues.
12:34We like those.
12:36Do you mind?
12:37Yes.
12:40Do people really say, what's your poison when they're at the bar?
12:44No idea.
12:45I don't get out much.
12:46What do you mean?
12:47Look, we're at the Walsingham.
12:49So's he.
12:51Oh, yeah.
12:52Let's, uh, let's get him somewhere more private.
12:54Look.
13:01Not the main entrance, please, Inspector.
13:11I'm sorry we can't be more discreet.
13:13May I suggest the service corridor?
13:15Oh, yes.
13:16Yes.
13:17Thank you, Mr. Kind.
13:18Uh, nothing to stop by reopening the bar tomorrow, I think.
13:38Good evening, sir.
13:50Evening.
13:51You have a reservation?
13:52Uh, no, my wife.
13:54Your wife?
13:56This is book.
13:56Have you seen her?
13:57I'm afraid she may be distressed.
13:59No book.
14:00Oh.
14:00Five or four, Freddie?
14:02Uh, no, I'll keep this one.
14:05What's happened, darling?
14:06What's this about a corpse?
14:07Why have I been scouring my stacks?
14:09It looks like a Vulcan blood feud.
14:11Oh.
14:11I'm not proud of myself.
14:14There was champagne.
14:15A date that raises ridden me in the 2.30.
14:19Cocktails.
14:19More cocktails than men.
14:22Trotty.
14:23We live our own lives.
14:24That was always the deal.
14:26Self-flagellation is never helpful.
14:28Not nearly as much fun as someone doing it to you.
14:31Who was he?
14:33Victor.
14:34Or.
14:35Or.
14:36With two R's.
14:37Naval captain, married, had met him before.
14:39In an air raid, 41.
14:42He, uh, made a pass at me in...
14:45In...
14:45Where?
14:46Please don't make me say the F word.
14:49Foils.
14:50Yes.
14:51Oh, Trotty.
14:52I just fancied a good time.
14:55Well, there's nothing wrong with that.
14:56He turned out to be the most awful bore.
14:58Where is he now?
14:59In the morgue.
15:01Oh.
15:02One last night on the tiles.
15:04And there's something else.
15:06Book.
15:07Thank God you're here.
15:08You ready?
15:09For what?
15:09To interview royalty.
15:11It's a little irregular, isn't it?
15:13I don't care.
15:14They terrify me.
15:14I'm not going in there alone.
15:16Haven't you taken their fingerprints?
15:18I've not got Morris to do that.
15:19I may be a coward, but I'm not a fool.
15:22I have our primary text.
15:24The Canoon of Scutari.
15:25Oh, no.
15:26Looks expensive.
15:27Will it pay for our suite, Inspector?
15:29Oh, the late Captain had taken care of that, Mrs. Book.
15:33You're in the room next to the princesses.
15:35Oh, what are they like?
15:36Oh, they're glamorous in a sort of disappointed and stateless kind of way.
15:40Perhaps it's time I kept a closer eye on them.
15:43And an ear, too.
15:44I should use one of those little glasses they keep by the sink.
15:47So, will this help us find he'd done it?
16:00It's a book of customary laws for remote mountain communities without a magistrate or justice.
16:05The village elders consult the text and then tell you how much reiki to provide for your daughter's wedding,
16:10what to do if your bees escape and build a nest on your labor's land, that sort of thing.
16:15And who you're allowed to kill if somebody kills your cousin.
16:20Ah.
16:25Well, what language did you think it was going to be in?
16:28Well, we have three native speakers on the premises, but they're all suspect.
16:31Who's the third?
16:32Oh, he's a rather good-looking cocktail waiter.
16:35Well, don't fret too much.
16:37The dutiful Teutonic scholar did publish a translation of it in the German.
16:40Oh, well, you certainly speak the German.
16:42I need to leave sometimes.
16:44So where is this translation?
16:46Nora's looking for it now.
16:47It must be somewhere in the law section or social science or etiquette or propping open the door.
16:53You said do something else?
16:55Yes.
16:55These princesses have been given gainful employment to one of the capital's dispossessed.
17:01Oh, yes.
17:03I know.
17:04And there he is.
17:14I'll turn down the bedspread.
17:16Sergeant Morris will be along soon to take a statement.
17:19Yes, of course.
17:20I'd be grateful, Mrs. Book, if you didn't leave the hotel.
17:23It's perfectly all right, Inspector.
17:25You have to do your duty.
17:26Here to see their royal highnesses.
17:36Oh, dog.
17:48Where is it?
17:50Green, straight-grained, Morocco-bound folio with a lot of academic monographs bound inside, slightly foxed according to the catalogue.
18:01You're no help.
18:05You're no help.
18:18They're coming, they're scutari.
18:21Oh, what would I do without you?
18:25Oh, what would I do without you?
18:29Oh, please.
18:44Time for a little chat, Mrs. Book.
18:58Poof.
19:12I beg your pardon?
19:16I apologize for it.
19:19That we have sunk so low.
19:23Remember the great banketing table over here, hmm?
19:25Chairs made with bridge, as silvery as the snow on the mountaintops, upholstered with dumb masks or so.
19:33Oh, we've been in more awkward situations than this, haven't we, Inspector?
19:37That we have, Book.
19:38So, which is the policeman?
19:40You or this, Book?
19:42Well, he's taking notes for me.
19:44Helping with the, uh, Pittman's shorthand.
19:46So useful.
19:47Tull and red-headed.
19:50Like the poppies of our homelands.
19:52I realize that this will be very difficult for you, your royal highnesses.
19:59Uh, but if there's any detail you can recall, however small, it may help us discover who killed Captain Orr.
20:05That is easy. I killed him.
20:08So, he did what?
20:10It is true. I switched the glasses. He drank the poison meant for one of us.
20:15We have a routine, my sister and I, to cause a distraction.
20:19I salute the house of Scutari.
20:22Whichever commissar lives in it, uh, take a good look, Trotty.
20:26That's what happens to you if you get dethroned by the Reds.
20:28Oh!
20:29Oh, oh dear.
20:31It's so embarrassing. I do apologize.
20:33Not at all, not at all.
20:35Look after the pennies, and the pounds will look after themselves. What?
20:38It is a habit. A necessary precaution. Like this.
20:44This was the third attempt on our life since we left New York. There was a steward on the Berengaria. Can I turn over your room, madame? So transparent.
20:56And that Salvation Army woman outside the opera, shaking her tin box.
21:00Ha! She denied everything, of course.
21:03Who do you think is trying to kill you?
21:05The communists, of course.
21:06Popra?
21:07Um, but they already have your palaces, your estates.
21:11Our summer house on the Adriatic. There is a lake there. When the rising sun touches it, it is like the blush.
21:19In the spring, our country was proclaimed a people's republic. They want, what's the expression? A big finish. Ha!
21:29Hence the bodyguard.
21:30And how are you finding him?
21:32As he failed to prevent an attempt on our lives, I would say he has not covered himself in glory.
21:38Don't the communists also have your other sister?
21:42We do not speak of her.
21:43Senille, yes, the youngest. She renounced her title.
21:46We do not speak of her. Red scum.
21:49She betrayed her birthright, her country, her family.
21:56Take it.
21:59Of course, if this does turn out to be the case, then your switching of the drinks will not be without consequence.
22:05We are used to being pilloried. We will take whatever comes to us.
22:09Right, right.
22:12Now then, in your statement, you said something about this murder being written about in the Canoon of Scutari.
22:17What does that mean?
22:18It means that the killing like this follows certain customary principles.
22:23It means the first thing you must do is arrest that cocktail waiter.
22:27Ismail Guzzili.
22:28Guzzili.
22:29Guzili.
22:30Guzzili.
22:31Gu... Guzzili.
22:32Why?
22:32He's from the mountains. These people know the rules of revenge. They are obsessed with them.
22:37You must arrest him.
22:38You must arrest him.
22:38And you must bring in any others on the staff.
22:41Of, uh, mountain men?
22:44Yes.
22:44Yes.
22:48Well, thank you so much.
22:50This has been most helpful.
22:51So you will do as we say?
22:53No, I will not.
22:55Why?
22:55Because, Princess, I am not your subject.
22:58And in this country, a man is innocent until proven guilty.
23:02Whatever altitude he was born at.
23:03Well, sometimes, Inspector, you make me proud to be from the gutter.
23:14I've never really thought of myself as a Republican.
23:20Well, it's the war that changed us all.
23:23I've never really thought of myself as a Jew.
23:26You ever come here during the Blitz?
23:29I had to let you in if there was a raid on, even without a tie.
23:33We used to come down to the lower bar.
23:35It's known as the Fruit Cellar.
23:39That was quite the mixed grill.
23:44You did nothing.
24:13You're supposed to be my boyfriend, and you did nothing.
24:16E.T., what do you expect me to do?
24:19Nothing.
24:23Was he the one from this morning?
24:25Yeah.
24:26Came at me in a silk dressing gown with everything pointed north.
24:30His name is Captain Victor Orr.
24:32Not anymore.
24:34They already gave me a warning.
24:36What?
24:37Yeah, apparently shouting at lecherous customers isn't the Walsingham way.
24:43I'll speak to Mr. Kind.
24:44It was Mr. Kind who gave me the warning.
24:46One more black mark on him out of my arse.
24:49I hate this place.
24:51You know, I was doing okay here.
24:54At least I thought I was.
24:58What's the bloody point?
24:59Oh yeah, I'm sorry.
25:03You know, my dad was right about you, Ismail.
25:06And I should have listened to him.
25:08Leave me alone.
25:09I don't know.
25:10What?
25:14Oh, my God.

28:04room 504. really city view noiseless bed springs duchess raid for favorite patrons and that captain
28:14has been coming here for years usually once a week without squeak you're very well informed
28:19no secrets of the walsingham sir we see all the dirty there because we have to clean it
28:25some might say mr gaz gazillion that it's the duty of a grand hotel to make sure that the private
28:31life of a guest remains private as some might say inspector but in a grand hotel people are usually
28:36at it like cod in a bucket so it's a crime of passion then no i reckon the captain was something in
28:44intelligence during the war how do you know that they're a type friendly but tell you nothing
28:53with a drink they'll always have what the other person's having
28:58so uh why would the princesses want to kill a british spy because british intelligence handed over
29:03scutari to the communist partisans and the captain recognized the princesses
29:13who are they should i know them
29:17balkans same to you
29:19now fear and rujia princesses of the royal house of scutari proposed by the communists and now
29:32drifting around the world like flotsam
29:35very glamorous flotsam
29:37wasn't there a scandal they did a flit and the bullion from the national bank somehow found its way into
29:43their hat boxes something of the sword
29:49and they're drifting our way or your way be precise oh i see in the market for a set of dictionaries
29:59are they they're staying at the waltzing just down the road from you and uh there have been letters
30:06threats
30:10vicious ones you should speak to the post office then we'd be ever so grateful if you just
30:19kept an eye on them
30:20i told you
30:26you're just a bookseller and item
30:30i reminded you that we helped find young jack
30:37it wasn't easy
30:47oh it's you
31:01it's me
31:03tough or you know
31:05oh don't mention it
31:08yeah
31:10so does that happen a lot then does it
31:12it comes with a job doesn't it can i do you now sir
31:21i wouldn't have killed him for it though
31:24somebody did
31:25yeah
31:27so
31:29which side are you on
31:31sorry
31:33which side are you on
31:35well what are the options
31:37well
31:38there's the management in this hotel who
31:41treat their staff like muck and
31:43give a girl a mouthful just for standing up for herself
31:47right
31:48then there's the workers
31:49okay well
31:51the workers then
31:52nice to hear your expression of solidarity brother

32:20working for those parasites
32:22is that what they are
32:26well what would you call them
32:30sad
32:32i suppose
32:33yeah
32:34a bit sad
32:37well
32:38speaking for myself
32:41i'd line them up
32:42well
32:43shoot the boogers
33:12i could say a proper hello to you now edmund kind
33:20good evening

33:28the lower bar
33:29the fruit cellar
33:30oh
33:31what a shame
33:32yes for redecoration
33:34though when the work will actually start
33:36i don't know
33:37seems they prefer it mothballs
33:38the management
33:39you mean it's all still there
33:40there's mural and everything
33:42oh yes
33:43well you could take a look
33:45if you'd like
33:47uh i should really be getting back upstairs
33:50of course
33:54i suppose a
33:56a little peep wouldn't hurt
33:58well the question is
34:08well the lights work
34:09i don't remember there being any
34:11we never turned them off
34:13blackhead i suppose
34:14i know they were just terribly unfloattering
34:17yes you're right
34:19let's turn them off
34:21just a soup song
34:22these walls could talk
34:42kim strang is dead
34:44did you hear
34:44kim strang
34:47he used to keep his max factor in a gas mask box
34:50well he'd been in egypt
34:52and they had to keep that tan up
34:55what happened to him
34:56he walked into the sea at shore
34:59i'm sorry to say
35:00somebody had his letters
35:02dreadful really

35:12and thanks for your help with the um
35:14other matter
35:14not at all
35:15what does jack know
35:18that my wife and i have an arrangement
35:20that i knew his late father
35:22nothing more
35:23he found that difficult enough to take
35:24ran out on us that very night
35:27floated here
35:28where he is gainfully employed thanks to you
35:30and able to keep an eye on the other bodies floating around the
35:34regal scutari ones
35:36why do you need to keep an eye on those
35:38well it's possible they were the intended victims
35:41not the captain
35:42it's a working hypothesis
35:44are you with the police now gabriel
35:46you always were a dark horse
35:49it makes up a substantial part of my charm
35:51christ isn't that dangerous
35:53i mean one false step
35:55i'm all too well aware of that edmund
35:58although i do have a
35:59special letter from churchill
36:02still you probably shouldn't be found in a dimly lit basement bar with
36:06with a terribly handsome old friend
36:08no perhaps not
36:12top of the grid
36:13and the wall cinema isn't connected to the grid
36:16it has its own oil-powered generators
36:18they bring it in by the barrel
36:19everything depends on it even the plumbing
36:21and what's a grand hotel without power and hot running water
36:26well i suppose it's just a big building full of people who are rather cold and rather hungry
36:31and very very rich
36:35i should get back
36:36need to
37:06no big surprises on the poison front inspector
37:11the deadly glass contains boring old hydrochloric acid
37:14oh we can't all be virtue i say
37:17virtue i see

45:17Ja, Sie sollten deutsche Dichter lesen.
45:40Dichter lesen.
46:10Dichter lesen.
46:40He's helping the police.
46:41This is most interesting.
46:43Continue.
46:44Well, he's a sort of expert witness, and he's staying here with his wife, who I believe...
46:49I meant, continue on your way.
46:53Good night.
47:09Oh, I thought you were a bottle of...
47:11How do you spare it, Ane?
47:13A book for Mr. Book.
47:15What is it, dear?
47:16It was that book you wanted.
47:18Oh, very good.
47:20The lights were on the blink up here.
47:21An engineer is investigating.
47:23I do apologise for any inconvenience.
47:26Is there anything more I can do for you?
47:29Well, tracking down our champagne would be nice.
47:31Of course.
47:37Extraordinary man.
47:38Smells nice, though.
47:40Gardenia.
47:41Capital.
47:42Just what we need.
47:44They're taking their time with that champagne, aren't they?
47:46I think they're having trouble below.
47:49With the generators.
47:51You don't need champagne, do you, Book?
47:54Just anything with footnotes.
47:56And a bibliography.
47:58Maybe an erratum slip.
48:01I used to love this place, you know.
48:09In the war, the rooms were cheap.
48:1035 shillings a night.
48:12Well, the ones nearest the V2s, anyway.
48:15Always plenty of life down in the bar.
48:19A bit too much, sometimes.
48:20And now the Walsingham is listing, like an old ship.
48:28Well, I'd like to smash a bottle against it.
48:30Mm-hmm.
48:31Mm-hmm.
48:31Oh, my God.
49:01Oh, my God.
49:31Oh, my God.
50:01Oh, my God.
50:02Oh, my God.
50:03Oh, my God.
50:04Oh, my God.
50:05Oh, my God.
50:06Oh, my God.
50:07Oh, my God.
50:09Oh, my God.
50:16Some came to stay, to rest, to play, some came to labor every day, some came to sound the passing bell for the dear old Walsingham Hotel.
50:31But who killed Captain Victor Orr? Princess, waiter, maid, or more? Who came to sound the final bell for the dear old Walsingham Hotel?
51:01Well, then. That's that.
51:16What was that?
51:19Edith! Edith, are you okay?
51:21Oh, my God!
51:28Edith, I'm not here.
51:28Edith, I don't have rest in one more step and all!
51:31No!
52:01No!
