by the same person

00:23:43,548 --> 00:23:44,924
Knocked.

wander into a don's bedroom.

Well, certainly,
they were great friends.

612
00:26:01,269 --> 00:26:02,562
He's an art dealer.

613
00:26:02,728 --> 00:26:05,731
He's acting for the estate.

614
00:26:05,898 --> 00:26:07,817
Did their National Service
together, I believe.

615
00:26:07,984 --> 00:26:09,068
Then we'll need
to speak to him.

If you could let us know
where to find him.

Anything to do

Wasn't it him and the master
saw the Shadow Sunday night?

619
00:26:16,033 --> 00:26:17,868
So they say.

00:26:20,830 --> 00:26:22,707
No, but that it was
this cat burglar

623
00:26:22,873 --> 00:26:23,958
I'm less convinced.

624
00:26:24,125 --> 00:26:25,501
How come?

625
00:26:25,668 --> 00:26:26,836
Well, because nobody sees
the Shadow.

626
00:26:27,003 --> 00:26:27,878
That's the point.

627
00:26:28,045 --> 00:26:29,380
He comes and goes,
and no one's any the wiser

628
00:26:29,547 --> 00:26:30,756
till after he's struck.

629

So?

630
00:26:32,258 --> 00:26:34,719

like a one-man band.

The undergrad who found his
body, Spencer Bell,

He's gone into town.
Oh.

expecting him back?

Last February.

901
00:37:30,332 --> 00:37:33,877
Two months later,
we were married.

902
00:37:34,044 --> 00:37:36,213
You had no reason
to doubt his fidelity?

903
00:37:36,380 --> 00:37:38,465
Just with his body
being found

904
00:37:38,632 --> 00:37:39,967
the way it was,
we've...

905
00:37:40,133 --> 00:37:41,551
Well, we're bound to ask.

906
00:37:41,718 --> 00:37:43,262
How was it found?

907
00:37:45,055 --> 00:37:46,473
There was lipstick
around his mouth.

908
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:50,936
And signs that physical intimacy
had taken place

909
00:37:51,103 --> 00:37:53,772
shortly before his death.

910
00:37:53,939 --> 00:37:56,942
I always knew Robin had lived
a full life.

911
00:37:59,569 --> 00:38:01,363
But from the moment
we were married,

912
00:38:01,530 --> 00:38:03,573
he never once gave me any cause
to think of him

913
00:38:03,740 --> 00:38:06,326
as anything other than devoted.

914
00:38:06,493 --> 00:38:07,786
MORSE (voiceover):
She wouldn't be the first wife

915
00:38:07,953 --> 00:38:09,579
to not know her husband
was deceiving her.

916
00:38:09,746 --> 00:38:12,040
Unless she did, of course.

917
00:38:12,207 --> 00:38:13,875
Just keep your wits
about you.

918
00:38:14,042 --> 00:38:15,127
What does that mean?

919
00:38:15,294 --> 00:38:16,503
Good-looking girl?

920
00:38:16,670 --> 00:38:17,796
Tears?

921
00:38:17,963 --> 00:38:19,673
Not every damsel in distress
wants saving.

922
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:21,675
What she looks like's
nothing to do with it.

923
00:38:21,842 --> 00:38:24,094
I wonder if she knew
Joey Sikes?

924
00:38:24,261 --> 00:38:25,971
Sikes is gangland.

925
00:38:26,138 --> 00:38:27,973
He's no connection
with Dr. Grey.

926
00:38:28,140 --> 00:38:30,517
They were both killed by
particularly gruesome means.

927
00:38:30,684 --> 00:38:33,020
Both last seen with a woman
wearing a white raincoat.

928
00:38:33,186 --> 00:38:35,230
And both had been kissed by
someone wearing red lipstick.

929
00:38:35,397 --> 00:38:36,690
That's more
than a coincidence.

Look, I've answered
your questions.

1079
00:44:49,396 --> 00:44:50,522
I'd like to go home now.

1080
00:44:50,689 --> 00:44:53,108
We'll need to take a set
of your fingerprints.

1081
00:44:53,274 --> 00:44:54,359
Why?

1082
00:44:54,526 --> 00:44:56,903
For the process of elimination.

1083
00:44:57,070 --> 00:44:58,279
You'll be here a while yet.

1084
00:45:00,657 --> 00:45:02,325
(talking in background)

1085
00:45:02,492 --> 00:45:03,284
FANCY:
What's going on?

1086
00:45:03,451 --> 00:45:05,370
TREWLOVE:
The art dealer Lake
hasn't shown up.

1087
00:45:05,537 --> 00:45:07,539
Neither him nor the egg.

1088
00:45:07,706 --> 00:45:09,999
I've telephoned,
but there's no reply.

1089
00:45:10,166 --> 00:45:11,459
I assumed he must be
on his way.

1090
00:45:11,626 --> 00:45:12,711
STRANGE:
Do you have
an address for him?

1091
00:45:12,877 --> 00:45:13,962
We can send a patrol car.

1092
00:45:14,129 --> 00:45:15,338
Certainly.

1093
00:45:15,505 --> 00:45:17,132
It's 15 Holywell Lane.

1094
00:45:17,298 --> 00:45:18,591
Holywell Lane?

I saw him this morning

STRANGE:
Anything, Doc?

Well, his head's in this room

so that...

1109

Looks to have had

1113

his throat cut first,
right to left,

1114
00:47:03,988 --> 00:47:07,325
then decapitation post mortem.

1115
00:47:07,492 --> 00:47:08,743
Small mercies.

Lipstick again.

What's this?

THURSDAY:
Dr. Grey at Lonsdale, sir,

1119
00:47:13,665 --> 00:47:14,666
had lipstick around his mouth.

1120
00:47:14,833 --> 00:47:16,209
As did Joey Sikes.

1121
00:47:16,376 --> 00:47:17,418
I thought that was gangland.

1122
00:47:17,585 --> 00:47:18,545
THURSDAY:
So did we, sir.

1123
00:47:18,711 --> 00:47:20,672
But his car was found
just outside here.

1124
00:47:20,839 --> 00:47:23,091
Oh, ballistics have come back
with a match.

1125
00:47:23,258 --> 00:47:27,887
The bullets I dug out
were from Joey Sikes' pistol.

1126
00:47:28,054 --> 00:47:29,764
He was shot with his own gun?

1127
00:47:29,931 --> 00:47:31,140
THURSDAY:
Looks like it, sir.

Detective Constable
Fancy, sir.

Just over from County

Chief Superintendent Bright.
FANCY:
Sir.

1133
00:47:38,356 --> 00:47:42,443
Neighbor over the road says
she heard a shot around 3:45.

1134
00:47:42,610 --> 00:47:43,903
Saw this woman
in the white mac coming out,

1135
00:47:44,070 --> 00:47:46,656
around half-four,
quarter to 5:00.

1136
00:47:48,449 --> 00:47:49,409
Well, he wasn't shot.

1137
00:47:49,576 --> 00:47:50,410
BRIGHT:
Three men slaughtered

1138
00:47:50,577 --> 00:47:52,829

You're surely not suggesting
a woman could have done it?

Well, two of the victims
were found in bed, sir.

1141

And the lipstick.

1142
00:47:59,544 --> 00:48:00,837
So Joey Sikes was shot,

1143
00:48:01,004 --> 00:48:03,923
but then a skewer was driven
into his ear.

1144
00:48:04,090 --> 00:48:05,675
Dr. Grey was stabbed
in both eyes.

And now Lake has been
decapitated.

1146

That means something,

The method, do you think?

Oh, "S.C."

leaving Simon Lake's flat

I got held up.

1175
00:49:18,831 --> 00:49:22,418
In the end, I didn't make it
till quarter past, maybe.

1176
00:49:22,585 --> 00:49:25,797
The door was open,
so I went in.

1177
00:49:28,049 --> 00:49:30,468
I went into the bedroom.

1178
00:49:32,261 --> 00:49:34,013
The next thing I remember,
I was on the bus.

1179
00:49:36,599 --> 00:49:37,767
And on Sunday night.

1180
00:49:37,934 --> 00:49:39,560
When the taxi dropped you off
at the party?

1181
00:49:39,727 --> 00:49:41,229
That's who you were seeing,
Simon Lake?

you were inside the flat,

1184

body was found.

(door opens)

1186
00:49:48,486 --> 00:49:49,737
Yeah.

1187
00:49:49,904 --> 00:49:51,239
We heard you knocking,

1188
00:49:51,406 --> 00:49:52,699
but Simon didn't want
to answer the door.

1189
00:49:52,865 --> 00:49:55,118
Mr. Bright would
like a word, sir.

1192
00:50:01,791 --> 00:50:03,543
Did you happen to notice
whether the safe

1193
00:50:03,710 --> 00:50:05,044
was open or closed?

1194
00:50:05,211 --> 00:50:06,921
No, I don't remember.

1195
00:50:07,088 --> 00:50:08,172

Do you know him?
No.

1198

I advise you to cooperate,
Miss Thorne.

1199
00:50:12,969 --> 00:50:15,013
In your own best interests.

1200
00:50:20,351 --> 00:50:23,104
So you sleep
with Lake on Sunday,

1201
00:50:23,271 --> 00:50:25,857
Grey on Monday,

1202
00:50:26,024 --> 00:50:27,358
then come back for
another round with Lake today.

1203
00:50:27,525 --> 00:50:28,317
And?

1204
00:50:28,484 --> 00:50:29,569
Your fingerprints
have turned up

1205
00:50:29,736 --> 00:50:31,946
your previous convictions.

1206
00:50:32,113 --> 00:50:33,573
Soliciting.

1207
00:50:33,740 --> 00:50:35,491
You're a common prostitute.

1208
00:50:37,368 --> 00:50:38,703
You've seen where I live.

1209
00:50:38,870 --> 00:50:40,872
There's nothing common about me.

1210
00:50:42,123 --> 00:50:43,416
What's your type?

1211
00:50:43,583 --> 00:50:45,043
(chuckles softly)

1212
00:50:45,209 --> 00:50:47,211
Blonde? Brunette?
Redhead?

1213
00:50:47,378 --> 00:50:48,796
Or do you go
for the mousey sort?

1214
00:50:48,963 --> 00:50:50,131
The kind that butter
wouldn't melt,

1215
00:50:50,298 --> 00:50:52,216
but get their glasses off
and, "Oh, Daddy!"

1216
00:50:52,383 --> 00:50:53,176
That's quite enough
thank you.

1217
00:50:53,342 --> 00:50:55,511
Maybe you want a goddess.

1218
00:50:55,678 --> 00:50:57,013
Someone you can put
on a pedestal.

1219
00:50:57,180 --> 00:50:58,514
Unattainable.

1220
00:50:58,681 --> 00:51:00,516
Or perhaps you like
to be mothered.

1221
00:51:00,683 --> 00:51:01,809
Have someone wash your tinkle.

1222
00:51:01,976 --> 00:51:03,644
Trewlove,
take her back to her cell.

1223
00:51:03,811 --> 00:51:05,730
You haven't been able to take
your eyes off me since we met.

1224
00:51:05,897 --> 00:51:07,607
Well, I've got your number.

1225
00:51:07,774 --> 00:51:08,941
I know what you are.

1226
00:51:09,108 --> 00:51:10,568
You like to watch, right?
Look but don't touch.

1227
00:51:10,735 --> 00:51:12,028
I know your kind.

1228
00:51:12,195 --> 00:51:13,404
What's that book?

1229
00:51:13,571 --> 00:51:15,364
<i>A Spy in the House of Love?</i>
That's you.

1230
00:51:15,531 --> 00:51:17,658
Outside looking in
at what you want

1231
00:51:17,825 --> 00:51:18,910
but daren't ask for.

1232
00:51:19,077 --> 00:51:20,536
You'd be a spectator
at your own funeral.

1233
00:51:20,703 --> 00:51:22,455
Take her down.

1234
00:51:24,665 --> 00:51:26,042
You think she killed him?

1235
00:51:26,209 --> 00:51:27,293
MORSE:
Well, she knew
all three victims,

1236
00:51:27,460 --> 00:51:28,628
had slept with two of them,

1237
00:51:28,795 --> 00:51:30,671
both of whom were connected
to this Fabergé egg.

1238
00:51:30,838 --> 00:51:32,715
Now, for all we know, Lake was
still alive when she arrived.

1239
00:51:32,882 --> 00:51:34,175
Now he's dead,
and the egg's gone.

1240
00:51:34,342 --> 00:51:35,885
I've known clients
get possessive

1241
00:51:36,052 --> 00:51:37,136
to the point of obsession

1242
00:51:37,303 --> 00:51:38,721
in some cases.

1243
00:51:38,888 --> 00:51:39,972
The only reason
I can think of

1244
00:51:40,139 --> 00:51:41,891
for her to lie

1245
00:51:42,058 --> 00:51:44,185
is if she saw someone
she recognized by Lake's flat,

1246
00:51:44,352 --> 00:51:45,436
going in or coming out.

1247
00:51:45,603 --> 00:51:46,896
Someone she was
afraid of, maybe.

1248
00:51:47,063 --> 00:51:50,483
If she saw him,
it's very likely he saw her.

1249
00:51:50,650 --> 00:51:52,318
BRIGHT:
Which offers the possibility

1250
00:51:52,485 --> 00:51:55,488
that whoever it is

Is this the women you saw
on the quad with Grey?

1427
01:01:57,089 --> 01:01:58,298
I don't know.

1428
01:01:58,465 --> 01:01:59,925
She was wearing a headscarf.

1429
01:02:00,092 --> 01:02:01,343
It was the white coat
I recognized.

1430
01:02:01,510 --> 01:02:02,845
But that is
Pickman's model.

1431
01:02:03,011 --> 01:02:04,054
Yeah, that's her.

1432
01:02:04,221 --> 01:02:07,850
And it's life studies
she sits for.

1433
01:02:08,016 --> 01:02:09,184
Mostly.

1434
01:02:09,351 --> 01:02:12,146
Pickman's had us do her
as Botticelli's <i>Venus.</i>

1435
01:02:12,312 --> 01:02:14,148
The girl from
<i>Déjeuner sur l'Herbe.</i>

1436
01:02:14,314 --> 01:02:15,941
And any number
of Gentileschi copies.

1437
01:02:16,108 --> 01:02:18,277
<i>Giuditta con la sua
Ancella,</i>

1438
01:02:18,444 --> 01:02:20,070
<i>Susanna e i Vecchioni...</i>

1439
01:02:20,237 --> 01:02:21,405
Do you ever see her
outside of class?

1440
01:02:21,572 --> 01:02:23,031
No.

1441
01:02:23,198 --> 01:02:25,826
But you want to.

1442
01:02:25,993 --> 01:02:27,244
She's a model.

1443
01:02:27,411 --> 01:02:29,288
If she smiles at you in class,
she's being paid for it.

1444
01:02:29,455 --> 01:02:30,622
It's art,

1445
01:02:30,789 --> 01:02:32,416
not real life.

1446
01:02:32,583 --> 01:02:33,751
Some of us can tell
the difference.

1447
01:02:33,917 --> 01:02:35,043
Can Pickman?

1448
01:02:38,714 --> 01:02:39,840
Is he a good tutor?

1449
01:02:40,007 --> 01:02:41,091
Best I can afford.

1450
01:02:41,258 --> 01:02:44,261
(chuckles lightly)

1451
01:02:44,428 --> 01:02:46,054
How was it you know
Simon Lake, Dr. Howlett?

1452
01:02:47,222 --> 01:02:49,016
We were up together.

1453
01:02:50,267 --> 01:02:52,019
At St. Alfredus.

1454
01:02:52,186 --> 01:02:53,604
But he got sent down.

1455
01:02:54,688 --> 01:02:55,981
For what?

1456
01:02:56,148 --> 01:02:57,649
Conduct
unbecoming.

1457
01:02:57,816 --> 01:02:59,443
Fleecing tourists
at Find the Lady.

1458
01:02:59,610 --> 01:03:00,944
Seems a bit stiff.

1459
01:03:01,111 --> 01:03:04,656
He also got one of
the cleaners in... trouble.

1460
01:03:06,492 --> 01:03:07,618
He said it wasn't his,

1461
01:03:07,785 --> 01:03:10,829
but someone had to carry
the can.

1462
01:03:10,996 --> 01:03:12,581
We stayed in touch,

1463
01:03:12,748 --> 01:03:15,167
and as he was in town...

1464
01:03:15,334 --> 01:03:17,044
But you don't
live there yourself.

1465
01:03:17,211 --> 01:03:18,629
No, no.

1466
01:03:18,796 --> 01:03:22,216
I inherited the place a couple
of years ago from an uncle.

1467
01:03:22,382 --> 01:03:27,221
I wonder if you could
shed any light on this.

1468
01:03:31,308 --> 01:03:32,893
TANCRED:
It, uh...

1469
01:03:33,060 --> 01:03:34,436
It looks like a menu.

1470
01:03:34,603 --> 01:03:35,729
I know what it looks like.

1471
01:03:35,896 --> 01:03:36,855
I want to know what it means.

1472
01:03:38,524 --> 01:03:39,691
Who's the Mock Turtle?

1473
01:03:39,858 --> 01:03:42,110
I wouldn't know.
You sure about that?

1474
01:03:42,277 --> 01:03:44,363
It was found in
the pocket of a tailcoat

1475
01:03:44,530 --> 01:03:48,075
hanging in the wardrobe
in your flat on Holywell Lane.

1476
01:03:48,242 --> 01:03:49,535
One of my colleagues found
an identical waistcoat

1477
01:03:49,701 --> 01:03:50,911
in Dr. Grey's rooms.

1478
01:03:51,078 --> 01:03:52,663
THURSDAY:
He said it looks
like the order of service

1479
01:03:52,830 --> 01:03:54,873
for a dining club.

1480
01:03:59,127 --> 01:04:02,256
It was Robin's stag.

1481
01:04:02,422 --> 01:04:04,675
Robin was the Mock Turtle,
hence...

1482
01:04:04,842 --> 01:04:06,844
The Passing
of the Mock Turtle.

1483
01:04:07,010 --> 01:04:08,303
So what's this club?

1484
01:04:09,555 --> 01:04:10,639
The Berserkers.

1485
01:04:10,806 --> 01:04:11,807
Why so cagey?

1486
01:04:11,974 --> 01:04:13,183
Why deny it?

1487
01:04:13,350 --> 01:04:14,810
I don't want to get involved
in something like this.

1488
01:04:14,977 --> 01:04:17,020
Two people known to me
have been murdered.

1489
01:04:17,187 --> 01:04:18,772
Oh, we know that.
STRANGE:
Where was it held?

1490
01:04:18,939 --> 01:04:19,773
The stag.

1491
01:04:19,940 --> 01:04:21,191
(stammering):
I, I don't know where.

1492
01:04:21,358 --> 01:04:23,193
I, I wasn't there.

1493
01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:25,153
Adrian was there,
but I, I was ill.

1494
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:26,446
I didn't go.

1495
01:04:26,613 --> 01:04:28,073
You've got the menu.

1496
01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:30,951
Robin saved one for me.

1497
01:04:31,118 --> 01:04:32,244
A souvenir.

1498
01:04:34,872 --> 01:04:35,956
MORSE (voiceover):
What was your business

1499
01:04:36,123 --> 01:04:37,583
with Simon Lake?

1500
01:04:37,749 --> 01:04:39,543
Just that-- business.

1501
01:04:39,710 --> 01:04:41,044
He liked my work.

1502
01:04:41,211 --> 01:04:42,337
I sold him the odd piece.

1503
01:04:46,091 --> 01:04:47,426
You were in the army together,
weren't you?

1504
01:04:47,593 --> 01:04:48,844
MORSE:
Altdorf.

1505
01:04:49,011 --> 01:04:50,095
PICKMAN:
What is this?

1506
01:04:50,262 --> 01:04:52,306
Well, we've got
a Fabergé gone missing

1507
01:04:52,472 --> 01:04:54,683
and two men connected
with its sale found dead.

1508
01:04:54,850 --> 01:04:56,768
Two men that you did
your National Service with.

1509
01:04:56,935 --> 01:04:58,645
That's more than a coincidence.

1510
01:04:58,812 --> 01:05:00,564
I wouldn't know about that.

1511
01:05:00,731 --> 01:05:02,232
"He liked my work.

1512
01:05:02,399 --> 01:05:04,026
I sold him a few pieces."

1513
01:05:04,192 --> 01:05:05,235
Past tense.

1514
01:05:05,402 --> 01:05:07,070
You knew he was dead

1515
01:05:07,237 --> 01:05:08,280
before I told you.

1516
01:05:08,447 --> 01:05:09,865
Now, look...
We've a neighbor

1517
01:05:10,032 --> 01:05:12,117
on Holywell Lane
says she heard a gunshot.

1518
01:05:12,284 --> 01:05:14,244
But I actually think it was
your bike, backfiring.

1519
01:05:14,411 --> 01:05:15,996
I heard it the first time
I came here.

1520
01:05:16,163 --> 01:05:17,247
You were at Simon Lake's flat
yesterday.

1521
01:05:17,414 --> 01:05:19,416
Did you kill him
and take the egg,

1522
01:05:19,583 --> 01:05:20,834
or was he dead
when you arrived?

1523
01:05:21,001 --> 01:05:22,669
I didn't kill Simon,
and I didn't steal the egg!

1524
01:05:22,836 --> 01:05:24,630
I've seen the Cyrillic writing
in your barn.

1525
01:05:27,174 --> 01:05:29,134
Tell them, Gerry.
Cass!

1526
01:05:29,301 --> 01:05:30,677
You tell them
or I will.

1527
01:05:30,844 --> 01:05:31,929
Cass, you don't know
what you're talking about.

1528
01:05:32,095 --> 01:05:33,722
She doesn't know
what she's talking about.

1529
01:05:33,889 --> 01:05:35,933
It was a con.

1530
01:05:36,099 --> 01:05:38,393
That's the kind of artist
my husband is.

1531
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:40,979
You think I didn't know that
you were up to something?

1532
01:05:41,146 --> 01:05:42,272
You think I didn't notice?

1533
01:05:42,439 --> 01:05:44,524
Your old army mates just
dropping by out the blue.

1534
01:05:44,691 --> 01:05:45,859
Oh, Cass, please...

1535
01:05:46,026 --> 01:05:47,694
I've got to look out
for the kids, Gerry.

1536
01:05:52,199 --> 01:05:53,784
He's an idiot.

1537
01:05:53,951 --> 01:05:55,410
Easily led.

1538
01:05:55,577 --> 01:05:57,329
But he's not a killer.

1539
01:05:57,496 --> 01:06:01,124
If someone's killed
Robin and Simon over the egg,

1540
01:06:01,291 --> 01:06:04,127
I don't want them
coming for him next.

1541
01:06:04,294 --> 01:06:07,464
♪♪

1542
01:06:09,549 --> 01:06:11,009
(sighs)

1543
01:06:11,176 --> 01:06:12,386
(folder drops on table)

1544
01:06:12,552 --> 01:06:14,638
So Lake never meant to go
through with the sale.

1545
01:06:14,805 --> 01:06:15,889
MORSE:
No, sir.

1546
01:06:16,056 --> 01:06:19,434
It was intended
as an insurance fraud all along.

1547
01:06:19,601 --> 01:06:21,728
Lake had planned to give the egg
to Pickman that afternoon

1548
01:06:21,895 --> 01:06:22,980
and say it had been stolen.

1549
01:06:23,146 --> 01:06:24,690
Only when Pickman arrived
to collect the egg,

1550
01:06:24,856 --> 01:06:25,941
it had already gone.

1551
01:06:26,108 --> 01:06:28,860
And he found Simon Lake
murdered.

1552
01:06:29,027 --> 01:06:31,238
There were three of them
involved in the fraud.

1553
01:06:31,405 --> 01:06:33,740
Lake paid Pickman
to draft a design,

1554
01:06:33,907 --> 01:06:37,035
supposedly by Fabergé, in order
to create false provenance.

1555
01:06:37,202 --> 01:06:39,413
Grey-- the foremost authority
on Russian imperial jewelry--

1556
01:06:39,579 --> 01:06:40,706
signed off on it.

1557
01:06:40,872 --> 01:06:43,208
How did they come by it
in the first place?

1558
01:06:43,375 --> 01:06:44,960
THURSDAY:
Pickman explained.

1559
01:06:45,127 --> 01:06:46,878
They were young soldiers
at a camp for displaced persons

1560
01:06:47,045 --> 01:06:48,714
on the East German border,

1561
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:51,717
where he transported
some refugees to the West

1562
01:06:51,883 --> 01:06:53,552
in exchange for the egg.

1563
01:06:53,719 --> 01:06:54,928
But without the provenance,
it's worthless.

1564
01:06:55,095 --> 01:06:56,513
So they bided their time
and set it by

1565
01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:58,306
against the time when they
could do something with it.

1566
01:06:58,473 --> 01:06:59,933
So where does that leave us?

1567
01:07:00,100 --> 01:07:02,811
Could Pickman
have killed Lake and the rest,

1568
01:07:02,978 --> 01:07:04,187
taken the egg for himself?

1569
01:07:04,354 --> 01:07:05,647
If that had been
his intention,

1570
01:07:05,814 --> 01:07:06,940
why leave the papers

1571
01:07:07,107 --> 01:07:08,734
supporting its provenance
behind?

1572
01:07:08,900 --> 01:07:10,902
The materials used
in its making notwithstanding,

1573
01:07:11,069 --> 01:07:12,279
without them, it's worthless.

1574
01:07:12,446 --> 01:07:13,655
Well, if he's not got it,
who has?

1575
01:07:13,822 --> 01:07:16,074
THURSDAY:
The killer,
presumably, sir.

1576
01:07:16,241 --> 01:07:17,492
We have got a further lead.

1577
01:07:17,659 --> 01:07:19,786
Very well, carry on.

1578
01:07:19,953 --> 01:07:22,789
THURSDAY:
So you are a Berserker,
Dr. Croxley.

1579
01:07:25,542 --> 01:07:28,545
It's just a bunch of like-minded
fellows making merry.

1580
01:07:28,712 --> 01:07:29,880
We've got two
of your number dead.

1581
01:07:30,047 --> 01:07:31,339
Not much to be
merry about there.

1582
01:07:31,506 --> 01:07:33,675
All dons, is it?

1583
01:07:33,842 --> 01:07:35,510
In the main,
though not exclusively.

1584
01:07:35,677 --> 01:07:36,928
The sole proviso
of membership

1585
01:07:37,095 --> 01:07:40,348
is, one must be
a gentleman of quality.

1586
01:07:42,976 --> 01:07:44,352
You were at Dr. Grey's

1587
01:07:44,519 --> 01:07:45,604
stag party last year.

1588
01:07:45,771 --> 01:07:46,897
Alas.

1589
01:07:47,064 --> 01:07:48,440
A young man married.

1590
01:07:48,607 --> 01:07:50,609
I take it from that you're
a single man yourself, then?

1591
01:07:51,818 --> 01:07:53,153
Absolutely.

1592
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:55,155
"What passing bells...?"

1593
01:07:55,322 --> 01:07:57,741
They don't call it
a morning suit for nothing.

1594
01:07:57,908 --> 01:07:59,868
Why didn't Tancred Howlett
attend?

1595
01:08:00,035 --> 01:08:01,119
Well, it's no great secret.

1596
01:08:01,286 --> 01:08:02,829
Not around college.

1597
01:08:02,996 --> 01:08:05,540
