DCI Thursday,

547
00:23:53,016 --> 00:23:53,892
DS Morse,
Thames Valley.

548
00:23:54,059 --> 00:23:56,645
We're looking
into the death

549
00:23:56,812 --> 00:23:57,896
of one of your patrons.

550
00:23:58,063 --> 00:23:59,272
Just need to ask
a few questions.

551
00:23:59,439 --> 00:24:01,358
Of course,
anything I can do to help.

552
00:24:01,525 --> 00:24:03,401
These cartons of orange squash--

553
00:24:03,568 --> 00:24:06,196
the Whakahari--
they're sold here and where?

554
00:24:06,363 --> 00:24:08,156
With the usherettes?

555
00:24:08,323 --> 00:24:09,533
That's right.

556
00:24:09,699 --> 00:24:11,201
They load up their trays
from here or the general stores.

557
00:24:11,368 --> 00:24:14,246
Right, so who was on the counter
the night before last?

558
00:24:15,413 --> 00:24:16,706
That would be me.

559
00:24:18,750 --> 00:24:20,168
Do you remember serving
this customer?

560
00:24:20,335 --> 00:24:23,296
I must warn you,
it's a post-mortem photograph.

561
00:24:28,301 --> 00:24:30,387
No, I'm afraid not.

562
00:24:30,554 --> 00:24:32,097
An usherette,
perhaps?

563
00:24:33,849 --> 00:24:34,933
There was only one on.

564
00:24:35,100 --> 00:24:36,268
Betty.

565
00:24:36,434 --> 00:24:38,061
Betty Persky.

566
00:24:38,228 --> 00:24:40,438
(movie playing in background)

567
00:24:40,605 --> 00:24:41,940
Sorry,
I don't remember him.

568
00:24:42,107 --> 00:24:43,567
That's all right,
Miss Persky.

569
00:24:43,733 --> 00:24:45,193
The number of people
who come through here,

570
00:24:45,360 --> 00:24:48,655
it'd be a miracle if you
remembered every customer.

571
00:24:48,822 --> 00:24:50,240
You worked here long?

572
00:24:50,407 --> 00:24:52,158
A year, just coming up.

573
00:24:52,325 --> 00:24:53,451
Nice place?

574
00:24:53,618 --> 00:24:55,120
Yeah, it's all right.

575
00:24:55,287 --> 00:24:57,080
Though I don't know long
it'll last.

576
00:24:57,247 --> 00:24:59,499
How's that?

577
00:24:59,666 --> 00:25:00,917
Well, there's talk of it
being pulled down.

578
00:25:01,084 --> 00:25:02,168
For flats, I think,
or a car park.

579
00:25:02,335 --> 00:25:03,503
Where'd you hear that?

580
00:25:03,670 --> 00:25:05,046
Shh!

581
00:25:05,213 --> 00:25:06,715
(whispering):
Off Mr. De Vere.

582
00:25:06,882 --> 00:25:09,551
I was cleaning up
behind the refreshments,

583
00:25:09,718 --> 00:25:11,803
when I heard him
talking to Mr. Kegworth,

584
00:25:11,970 --> 00:25:13,179
the projectionist.

585
00:25:13,346 --> 00:25:15,974
I mean, I say talking--
it was more like having words.

586
00:25:16,141 --> 00:25:18,310
(ad playing onscreen)

587
00:25:18,476 --> 00:25:21,897
MAN:
<i>The Taj Mahal!</i>

588
00:25:22,063 --> 00:25:24,733
I've a friend
up at head office.

589
00:25:24,900 --> 00:25:27,652
He says there's been talk
about closing the Roxy.

590
00:25:27,819 --> 00:25:31,615
Some developer looking to buy
the place.

591
00:25:31,781 --> 00:25:33,783
And what did Mr. De Vere say?

592
00:25:33,950 --> 00:25:37,454
That I shouldn't believe
all that I hear.

593
00:25:37,621 --> 00:25:39,915
The sons want to let it go,

594
00:25:40,081 --> 00:25:42,709
but Mr. Jephson, Sr.,

595
00:25:42,876 --> 00:25:45,003
wants to hold onto it.

596
00:25:45,170 --> 00:25:47,255
Be a blow for you,
I expect, if it went.

597
00:25:47,422 --> 00:25:49,841
They'll all go in the end--

598
00:25:50,008 --> 00:25:52,677
with the television.

599
00:25:52,844 --> 00:25:54,554
(chuckles wryly)

600
00:25:54,721 --> 00:25:59,309
I've been here since it opened
40 years near on.

601
00:25:59,476 --> 00:26:01,353
I've been training my grandson
Ken up to take over,

602
00:26:01,519 --> 00:26:07,150
but he seems more drawn to the,
uh, the management side.

603
00:26:07,317 --> 00:26:12,197
When the Roxy goes,
I'll go with it.

604
00:26:12,364 --> 00:26:14,324
And that'll be that.

605
00:26:14,491 --> 00:26:15,575
(projector door shuts loudly)

606
00:26:15,742 --> 00:26:16,826
Excuse me.

607
00:26:16,993 --> 00:26:18,536
(projector whirring)

608
00:26:18,703 --> 00:26:22,415
(organ music playing faintly)

609
00:26:22,582 --> 00:26:28,338
(playing jaunty tune)

610
00:26:28,505 --> 00:26:30,966
(music ends, applause)

611
00:26:31,132 --> 00:26:32,258
(talking indistinctly)

612
00:26:35,136 --> 00:26:37,097
Mr. Garnier?

613
00:26:37,263 --> 00:26:38,682
You've any requests,

614
00:26:38,848 --> 00:26:40,558
they'll have to wait
for the next session.

615
00:26:40,725 --> 00:26:41,810
Police, sir.

616
00:26:41,977 --> 00:26:43,061
Detective Chief Inspector
Thursday,

617
00:26:43,228 --> 00:26:44,521
Detective Sergeant Morse,
Thames Valley.

618
00:26:44,688 --> 00:26:46,356
My playing wasn't that bad,
surely?

619
00:26:46,523 --> 00:26:48,400
Sounded very fine, sir.

620
00:26:48,566 --> 00:26:51,778
No, we're pursuing inquiries
into a patron of the cinema.

621
00:26:51,945 --> 00:26:54,906
I wondered if you'd take a look
at this photograph.

622
00:26:56,908 --> 00:26:58,618
MORSE:
You've seen him?

623
00:26:58,785 --> 00:27:00,787
GARNIER:
Night before last.

624
00:27:00,954 --> 00:27:03,999
Between the intermission
and "The Queen,"

625
00:27:04,165 --> 00:27:06,418
I've usually a couple of hours
on my hands.

626
00:27:06,584 --> 00:27:09,087
I'll have a smoke.

627
00:27:09,254 --> 00:27:10,338
Maybe take a look

628
00:27:10,505 --> 00:27:13,383
at the paper.

629
00:27:13,550 --> 00:27:16,386
Normally, nobody's in here
when the picture's showing.

630
00:27:16,553 --> 00:27:21,307
Only this time, there he was.

631
00:27:21,474 --> 00:27:23,184
Your man Beavis.

632
00:27:23,351 --> 00:27:24,436
What was he doing?

633
00:27:24,602 --> 00:27:26,271
GARNIER:
Just standing there.

634
00:27:26,438 --> 00:27:27,522
(ice clinking)

635
00:27:27,689 --> 00:27:29,149
Waiting, I'd've said.

636
00:27:29,315 --> 00:27:31,317
I asked him his business,

637
00:27:31,484 --> 00:27:35,071
and he said he was looking
for the gents.

638
00:27:35,238 --> 00:27:38,491
So I told him where it was,
and he went on his way.

639
00:27:38,658 --> 00:27:40,285
And that was it, was it?

640
00:27:40,452 --> 00:27:41,870
No.

641
00:27:42,037 --> 00:27:45,623
Normally, I'd've forgotten
all about it,

642
00:27:45,790 --> 00:27:49,252
if that's all it was.

643
00:27:49,419 --> 00:27:52,630
But sometimes
when it's a clear night,

644
00:27:52,797 --> 00:27:55,133
I'll go up onto the roof.

645
00:27:55,300 --> 00:27:58,928
Oxford by moonlight.

646
00:27:59,095 --> 00:28:00,972
Just you and the stars.

647
00:28:01,139 --> 00:28:03,892
I heard someone talking,

648
00:28:04,059 --> 00:28:06,019
so I wandered over to the edge,

649
00:28:06,186 --> 00:28:08,897
and he was on
the fire escape landing,

650
00:28:09,064 --> 00:28:12,484
talking to someone
by the circle fire exit.

651

♪♪

652
00:28:22,452 --> 00:28:24,996
And you couldn't see
who it was he was talking to?

653
00:28:25,163 --> 00:28:26,498
No, they never came out.

654
00:28:26,664 --> 00:28:28,792
Then the door shut
and he went on his way.

655
00:28:28,958 --> 00:28:32,337
I stubbed my smoke
and went back down.

Hard to see how someone
could have got the poison inside

658
00:28:42,138 --> 00:28:43,223
if it was sealed.

659
00:28:43,389 --> 00:28:44,974
Nobody's gonna drink
from a carton

660
00:28:45,141 --> 00:28:46,267
that's already been opened.

661
00:28:46,434 --> 00:28:47,936
All depends whether Beavis
was the intended victim

662
00:28:48,103 --> 00:28:49,813
or if we've got a madman
on our hands.

663
00:28:49,979 --> 00:28:51,815
He could have been poisoned
at random, you think.

664
00:28:51,981 --> 00:28:53,274
Just a face in the crowd.

665
00:28:53,441 --> 00:28:54,692
The organist
was under the impression

666
00:28:54,859 --> 00:28:56,236
he was meeting someone
at the Roxy, sir.

667
00:28:56,402 --> 00:28:58,571
Maybe another patron
or a member of staff.

668
00:28:58,738 --> 00:29:00,573
Which would suggest
that it was meant.

669
00:29:00,740 --> 00:29:02,617
He was a retired
detective sergeant.

670
00:29:02,784 --> 00:29:04,369
One of his old cases, you think?

671
00:29:04,536 --> 00:29:05,620
Someone with a grudge?

672
00:29:05,787 --> 00:29:06,955
Nine years retired, sir.

673
00:29:07,122 --> 00:29:09,082
Late in the day for revenge.

674
00:29:09,249 --> 00:29:10,875
That's one thing
it's never too late for.

675
00:29:11,042 --> 00:29:12,710
Start going
through his old cases.

676
00:29:12,877 --> 00:29:15,088
See if he's ever nicked anyone
who works at the cinema.

677
00:29:15,255 --> 00:29:16,422
FANCY:
Well, unless he bought

678
00:29:16,589 --> 00:29:17,757
his orange squash
somewhere else.

679
00:29:20,510 --> 00:29:21,636
MORSE:
That's unlikely,

680
00:29:21,803 --> 00:29:23,221
I'd've thought.

681
00:29:23,388 --> 00:29:25,098
But not impossible.

682
00:29:25,265 --> 00:29:27,267
Trace all the routes he could've
taken between the two,

683
00:29:27,433 --> 00:29:28,560
show his picture at any pub

684
00:29:28,726 --> 00:29:29,811
you find along the way.

What do we know
about this cinema?

Not much, sir.

Owned by the Jepson family.

688
00:29:34,732 --> 00:29:36,067
There was talk of it
being sold for redevelopment,

689
00:29:36,234 --> 00:29:38,653
but I can't see Beavis
might figure in that.

690
00:29:38,820 --> 00:29:40,363
Right, well, keep me informed.

691

Oh, anything more
on these arson cases?

Well, a matter of fact, sir,
I've just heard back

They're helping guard the exits.

Well, it could,

What if it was something
faster acting?

1120
00:47:21,089 --> 00:47:23,717

I don't suppose
I'll be seeing you again

Not everything has to be

Doesn't matter what stone
I turn over, does it?

1169
00:49:27,257 --> 00:49:29,509
I'm a great patron of the arts.

1170
00:49:29,676 --> 00:49:31,636
Ask anyone that knows me.

1171
00:49:31,803 --> 00:49:34,556
You wouldn't get out of bed

What's your business

1173
00:49:36,725 --> 00:49:37,809
Nothing.

1174
00:49:37,976 --> 00:49:39,394
I met him through the owner.

1175
00:49:39,561 --> 00:49:42,731
Mr. Jephson and I
are in business together.

1176
00:49:42,898 --> 00:49:44,983
Have you ever have any dealings
with Leslie Garnier?

1177
00:49:45,150 --> 00:49:46,401
The organist?

1178
00:49:46,568 --> 00:49:49,571
I'm more of an Errol Garner man
myself.

1179
00:49:49,738 --> 00:49:51,406
What about Ronald Beavis?

1180
00:49:51,573 --> 00:49:52,657
The only Ronald Beavis
I know

1181
00:49:52,824 --> 00:49:54,910
is Ronnie Beavis.

1182
00:49:55,077 --> 00:49:56,828
One of yours
out of Banbury.

1183
00:49:56,995 --> 00:49:59,414
Tried to fit me up
on a B&E charge once.

1184
00:49:59,581 --> 00:50:01,708
Haven't seen him in donkeys.
Why?

1185
00:50:04,795 --> 00:50:05,879
Is that it, then?

1186
00:50:06,046 --> 00:50:07,130
I can go?

1187
00:50:07,297 --> 00:50:08,423
For the minute.

1188
00:50:11,009 --> 00:50:13,595
You never asked about the arson.

1189
00:50:13,762 --> 00:50:15,931
Khartoum Street,
now this Public Advice Center.

1190
00:50:16,098 --> 00:50:18,517
That makes two of yours
in as many days.

1191
00:50:18,683 --> 00:50:20,894
Be these racialists,
I'd've thought, wouldn't you?

1192
00:50:21,061 --> 00:50:22,270
Nice little earner.

1193
00:50:22,437 --> 00:50:23,647
Shoveling them up
from the airport.

1194
00:50:23,814 --> 00:50:25,690
Bustling 'em off
to Christ knows where?

1195
00:50:25,857 --> 00:50:28,193
How many more dosses
you got like that round town?

1196
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:29,653
If they weren't renting off me,

1197
00:50:29,820 --> 00:50:31,488
it'd all be on the council,

1198
00:50:31,655 --> 00:50:33,281
wouldn't it?

1199
00:50:33,448 --> 00:50:36,618
Should be some sort of
civic award for people like me.

1200
00:50:36,785 --> 00:50:37,953
THURSDAY:
Don't hold your breath.

1201
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:39,538
Second thoughts.

1202
00:50:39,704 --> 00:50:42,416
Go on,
you're done for now.

1203
00:50:42,582 --> 00:50:43,959
THURSDAY:
So you hadn't met
Mr. Garnier?

1204
00:50:44,126 --> 00:50:45,335
No.

1205
00:50:45,502 --> 00:50:48,255
There really isn't much
I can tell you.

1206
00:50:48,422 --> 00:50:50,507
I was up here until the manager
came to collect me

1207
00:50:50,674 --> 00:50:52,634
a few minutes
before I was due on.

1208
00:50:52,801 --> 00:50:54,803
Did anyone bring you
a martini from the bar?

1209
00:50:54,970 --> 00:50:56,555
No.

1210
00:50:56,721 --> 00:50:58,807
The manager, Mr. De Vere,

1211
00:50:58,974 --> 00:51:00,267
did offer to bring me
a little tincture,

1212
00:51:00,434 --> 00:51:03,603
but it must have
slipped his mind.

1213
00:51:03,770 --> 00:51:06,815
I understand you had
something of a shock earlier.

1214
00:51:06,982 --> 00:51:09,734
A gift from the management.

1215
00:51:09,901 --> 00:51:12,863
They wanted to give me a watch,

1216
00:51:13,029 --> 00:51:16,324
which had gone astray.

1217
00:51:16,491 --> 00:51:19,119
But on top of this

1218
00:51:19,286 --> 00:51:22,330
awful thing
with that man dying,

1219
00:51:22,497 --> 00:51:26,793
I really didn't think
it was the right time or place.

1220
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:29,212
You know him well,
the organist?
Leslie?

1221
00:51:29,379 --> 00:51:30,547
Oh, yes, sir.

1222
00:51:30,714 --> 00:51:32,632
Best part of ten years,
I should think.

1223
00:51:32,799 --> 00:51:34,759
I came across
from the Stoll-Moss circuit

1224
00:51:34,926 --> 00:51:37,596
and Leslie
was already installed.

1225
00:51:37,762 --> 00:51:39,598
Very nice gentleman.
Variety?

1226
00:51:39,764 --> 00:51:41,892
Oh, yes, sir.
I've opened the doors

1227
00:51:42,058 --> 00:51:43,560
for all the greats.

1228
00:51:43,727 --> 00:51:46,062
Probably why Leslie and I
got on so well.

1229
00:51:46,229 --> 00:51:47,981
We'll need a next of kin.

1230
00:51:48,148 --> 00:51:49,232
He was a single man, sir.

1231
00:51:49,399 --> 00:51:50,692
Much like myself.

1232
00:51:50,859 --> 00:51:52,944
I'll miss my pal.

1233
00:51:53,111 --> 00:51:54,654
He always had a friendly word.

1234
00:51:54,821 --> 00:51:56,281
And he was a master
of the Compton.

1235
00:51:56,448 --> 00:51:58,074
The organ, sir.

1236
00:51:58,241 --> 00:51:59,868
I used to play
a bit myself, sir.

1237
00:52:00,035 --> 00:52:02,537
The piano, in my younger days,
of course.

1238
00:52:02,704 --> 00:52:03,455
Before...

1239
00:52:03,622 --> 00:52:05,415
King and country, sir.

1240
00:52:05,582 --> 00:52:08,335
So we had that in common too,
the music.

1241
00:52:08,502 --> 00:52:10,879
What happened to the man who
caused the disturbance earlier?

1242
00:52:11,046 --> 00:52:12,130
I threw him out
on his ear, sir.

1243
00:52:12,297 --> 00:52:14,299
On the street where he belongs.

1244
00:52:14,466 --> 00:52:16,051
I know Arabs, sir.

1245
00:52:16,218 --> 00:52:17,719
You can't trust a one of 'em.

1246
00:52:17,886 --> 00:52:20,347
All right,
you go about your business,

1247
00:52:20,514 --> 00:52:22,974
a constable will take over

1248
00:52:23,141 --> 00:52:26,228
THURSDAY:
He was popular with the rest
of the staff, Miss Persky?

1249
00:52:26,394 --> 00:52:29,648
I think he'd had a falling out
with Mr. De Vere.

1250
00:52:29,814 --> 00:52:33,443
I couldn't say what over,
but I just heard Mr. De Vere

1251
00:52:33,610 --> 00:52:36,446
say, "Don't you threaten me,"
or something like that.

1252
00:52:36,613 --> 00:52:37,781
When was this?

1253
00:52:37,948 --> 00:52:40,325
Last night
during the first feature.

1254
00:52:42,035 --> 00:52:44,454
Did you make Mr. Garnier
a martini?

1255
00:52:44,621 --> 00:52:46,122
Oh, no, sir.

1256
00:52:46,289 --> 00:52:48,792
Usually, he'd have one
waiting for him on the organ

1257
00:52:48,959 --> 00:52:50,043
to sip at.

1258
00:52:50,210 --> 00:52:51,711
Part of his act, you know,

1259
00:52:51,878 --> 00:52:54,798
he'd raise his glass
to the audience,

1260
00:52:54,965 --> 00:52:57,384
but we were under strict orders
from Mr. De Vere

1261
00:52:57,551 --> 00:52:59,094
to keep him straight.

1262
00:53:00,929 --> 00:53:02,180
He threatened you.

1263
00:53:02,347 --> 00:53:03,390
With what?

1264
00:53:03,557 --> 00:53:05,392
He said he wanted to quit,

1265
00:53:05,559 --> 00:53:09,479
not for the first time,
and I called his bluff.

1266
00:53:09,646 --> 00:53:14,401
Leslie had a weakness
for the booze.

1267
00:53:14,568 --> 00:53:16,653
The whole national anthem thing
was so he could get out of here

1268
00:53:16,820 --> 00:53:18,196
and get into the pub.

1269
00:53:18,363 --> 00:53:19,781
You liked him?

1270
00:53:19,948 --> 00:53:21,449
Yes.

1271
00:53:21,616 --> 00:53:23,660
Apart from the drink.

1272
00:53:23,827 --> 00:53:26,454
I felt a bit sorry for him,
truth be told.

1273
00:53:26,621 --> 00:53:28,123
He'd played all over the world,
you know.

1274
00:53:28,290 --> 00:53:30,250
On the liners after the war.

1275
00:53:30,417 --> 00:53:33,003
Expect coming to the Roxy
was a bit of a comedown

1276
00:53:33,169 --> 00:53:35,505
after that sort of life.

1277
00:53:35,672 --> 00:53:38,091
You put a drink on the bar
earlier in the lounge.

1278
00:53:38,258 --> 00:53:39,342
Who was that for?

1279
00:53:39,509 --> 00:53:41,177
Mr. Valdemar.

1280
00:53:41,344 --> 00:53:43,471
Mr. De Vere asked me to.
But Mr. Garnier took it.

1281
00:53:43,638 --> 00:53:44,723
I wouldn't know, sir.

1282
00:53:44,889 --> 00:53:46,349
I set it on the bar,
turned round

1283
00:53:46,516 --> 00:53:47,601
to take another order,

1284
00:53:47,767 --> 00:53:49,019
and when I looked back
it'd gone.

1285
00:53:49,185 --> 00:53:51,771
I thought Mr. De Vere
must've collected it.

1286
00:53:51,938 --> 00:53:53,565
I believe there was something
of upset earlier

1287
00:53:53,732 --> 00:53:55,567
with Mr. Valdemar.

1288

Oh, yeah.

1290
00:53:58,903 --> 00:54:00,697
Mr. De Vere bought him a watch
as a thank you from the cinema.

1291
00:54:00,864 --> 00:54:02,532
He showed it to us
when he fetched it back.

1292
00:54:02,699 --> 00:54:05,493
He asked me to find
a nice box for it.

1293
00:54:05,660 --> 00:54:08,163
I got hold of one,
put the watch inside,

1294
00:54:08,330 --> 00:54:09,873
and left it in
Mr. De Vere's office.

1295
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:12,751
So anyone could have had
access to it?

1296
00:54:12,917 --> 00:54:14,252
Sure.

1297
00:54:14,419 --> 00:54:16,046
And what was in the box
when he opened it?

1298
00:54:16,212 --> 00:54:18,340

It bears also lines
from the <i>Book of the Dead.</i>

1369
00:57:49,467 --> 00:57:53,054
An appeal to the heart
not to speak against the dead.

If the heart is found wanting

passing on to the afterlife.

So Beavis nicks this beetle
or whatever it is

1422
00:59:51,255 --> 00:59:55,677
from the Pitt-Rivers,
and tries to flog it to... who?

1423
00:59:55,843 --> 00:59:57,512
And how did it get to be
in Valdemar's gift?

1424
00:59:57,679 --> 00:59:58,971
The only prints on it are mine,

1425
00:59:59,138 --> 01:00:00,723
Valdemars, and Beavis's.

1426
01:00:00,890 --> 01:00:02,850
Valdemar had no connection
to Beavis, so far as we know?

1427
01:00:03,017 --> 01:00:05,895
Not that we've been able
to establish yet, sir.

1428
01:00:06,062 --> 01:00:07,647
Strange is also looking
at all the staff

1429
01:00:07,814 --> 01:00:09,732
to see if their paths
ever crossed with Beavis.

1430
01:00:09,899 --> 01:00:11,401
From his time at County,
you mean?

1431
01:00:11,567 --> 01:00:13,027
Yes, sir.

1432
01:00:13,194 --> 01:00:14,570
There may be more
among Garnier's belongings

1433
01:00:14,737 --> 01:00:16,864
might shed light.

1434
01:00:17,031 --> 01:00:18,783
Constable Fancy's collecting
evidence from his flat,

1435
01:00:18,950 --> 01:00:21,703
while Morse and me
brace Valdemar.

1436
01:00:21,869 --> 01:00:23,621
You think <i>he</i> might have been
intended victim?

1437
01:00:23,788 --> 01:00:25,289
If the glass that Garnier took
from the bar was poisoned,

1438
01:00:25,456 --> 01:00:26,582
almost certainly.

But Akhenaten's cartouche?

1457
01:01:51,167 --> 01:01:54,504
I would not commit that mark

1458
01:01:54,670 --> 01:01:56,339
Why not, sir?

1459
01:01:56,506 --> 01:01:59,550
<i>The Pharaoh's Curse</i>
was well named.

Of all the people involved
in that production...

I am the last one left alive.

Why's that so unusual, sir?

1463
01:02:11,687 --> 01:02:15,274
You were a relatively young man
when the picture was made.

1464
01:02:15,441 --> 01:02:17,318
And, well...

1465
01:02:17,485 --> 01:02:19,570
Now I'm an old man?

1466
01:02:19,737 --> 01:02:22,448
Maybe so.

1467
01:02:22,615 --> 01:02:25,326
But within a year, two of
the cast members were dead.

1468
01:02:25,493 --> 01:02:27,912
The director died
in a plane crash.

1469
01:02:28,079 --> 01:02:29,288
It's been like that
ever since.

1470
01:02:29,455 --> 01:02:31,707
Every year one or two more.

1471
01:02:31,874 --> 01:02:33,668
It's Hollywood hyperbole,
surely.

1472
01:02:33,835 --> 01:02:36,420
Something to help sell the film.

1473
01:02:36,587 --> 01:02:38,881
Would that it were.

1474
01:02:39,048 --> 01:02:41,175
What made you think
there was something to it?

1475
01:02:41,342 --> 01:02:43,719
We shot exteriors on location,

1476
01:02:43,886 --> 01:02:46,347
but when we returned
to the studio,

1477
01:02:46,514 --> 01:02:50,101
we were using properties
loaned to us by Hearst--

1478
01:02:50,268 --> 01:02:52,478
genuine antiquities

1479
01:02:52,645 --> 01:02:54,814
he'd acquired some way
or another.

1480
01:02:54,981 --> 01:02:59,110
A delegation
from the Egyptian consulate

1481
01:02:59,277 --> 01:03:01,696
tried to picket the studio.

1482
01:03:01,863 --> 01:03:07,660
They said we were desecrating
their rites and sacred relics,

1483
01:03:07,827 --> 01:03:10,246
and no good would come of it.

1484
01:03:10,413 --> 01:03:13,291
And what happened?

1485
01:03:13,457 --> 01:03:15,960
The studio had the police
move them on.

1486
01:03:16,127 --> 01:03:19,171
They're a superstitious,
vengeful people.

1487
01:03:19,338 --> 01:03:20,840
I know.

1488
01:03:21,007 --> 01:03:22,633
I saw enough of them
during the Great War.

1489
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:24,510
I was up the desert too, sir.

1490
01:03:24,677 --> 01:03:25,803
In the second go.

1491
01:03:27,138 --> 01:03:29,599
Then you know what I mean.

1492
01:03:29,765 --> 01:03:31,976
So that's why you reacted as you
did when you saw the scarab?

1493
01:03:34,186 --> 01:03:35,980
I used to think it was
a load of nonsense.

1494
01:03:36,147 --> 01:03:39,108
(chuckles)

1495
01:03:39,275 --> 01:03:40,401

nothing more I can tell you.

1498
01:03:49,368 --> 01:03:51,621
I might've signed
that autograph,

1499
01:03:51,787 --> 01:03:58,461

1505

Bad enough to see its nation
treasures plundered,

1506
01:04:29,450 --> 01:04:31,702

turned into a cheap thrills?

though?

30th January 1941.

1511

He's form for theft.

1512
01:04:41,837 --> 01:04:43,255
Affray.
Most of it juvenile.

1513
01:04:43,422 --> 01:04:46,968
But we've an ABH in 1958
handled by County.

1514

checkered past, Mr. Bullings.

1517

Affray, assault, occasioning
actual bodily harm.

1518

who pinched you on that?

1519

No, I don't.

a patron of the Roxy.

1523
01:05:17,331 --> 01:05:19,166

Just like Mr. Garnier.

1527
01:05:26,340 --> 01:05:28,009
I don't know anything
about that.

1528
01:05:29,301 --> 01:05:32,430

You didn't mean

1533
01:05:42,690 --> 01:05:46,193
Listen, I've come here to talk
to you of my own free will.

1534
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:48,320
And now you're being
interviewed under caution.

1535
01:05:48,487 --> 01:05:50,906
So take thought.

1536
01:05:51,073 --> 01:05:53,492
You made that martini
for Valdemar.

1537
01:05:53,659 --> 01:05:54,744
I told you I did.

1538
01:05:54,910 --> 01:05:56,078
Just the way he likes it.

1539
01:05:56,245 --> 01:05:58,330
One part martini
to two part vodka.

1540
01:05:58,497 --> 01:06:00,124
Dash of bitters.
And an olive.

1541
01:06:00,291 --> 01:06:01,375
<i>No.</i>

1542
01:06:01,542 --> 01:06:03,753
A twist of lemon.

1543
01:06:03,919 --> 01:06:06,130
You sure about that?
Yeah.

1544
01:06:06,297 --> 01:06:07,590
He can't bear olives.

1545
01:06:07,757 --> 01:06:08,924
Famous for it.

1546
01:06:09,091 --> 01:06:10,217
Was in an interview I read
with him.

1547
01:06:10,384 --> 01:06:12,219
They remind him of Egypt.

1548
01:06:12,386 --> 01:06:14,847
Guess he had too many of 'em
when he was making

1549
01:06:15,014 --> 01:06:16,265
(chuckling):
<i>The Pharaoh's Curse.</i>

1550
01:06:22,646 --> 01:06:24,106
Christ, you think I put
something in his drink?

1551
01:06:25,900 --> 01:06:27,193
I didn't, honest.

1552
01:06:27,359 --> 01:06:29,445
I'm not the same
as when I was a kid.

1553
01:06:29,612 --> 01:06:31,655
Ask anybody that knows me.

1554
01:06:33,282 --> 01:06:36,535
So if the martini
Garnier took from the bar

1555
01:06:36,702 --> 01:06:38,204
didn't have an olive in it

1556
01:06:38,370 --> 01:06:41,165
that means Valdemar's drink
wasn't poisoned.

1557
01:06:41,332 --> 01:06:43,167
And Garnier was
the intended victim.

1558
01:06:43,334 --> 01:06:45,586
Nothing to do
with Valdemar and his curse.

1559
01:06:45,753 --> 01:06:46,879
Which makes
the scarab business, what,

1560
01:06:47,046 --> 01:06:48,380
just a bit of mischief?

1561
01:06:48,547 --> 01:06:50,299
Well, it's a pretty extreme
bit of mischief,

1562
01:06:50,466 --> 01:06:52,093
given that the man who stole
that scarab is not dead.

1563
01:06:52,259 --> 01:06:53,969
We've only got
Shoukry's word for it,

1564
01:06:54,136 --> 01:06:56,388
that Beavis could have taken it,
don't forget.

1565
01:06:56,555 --> 01:06:58,390
More to the point,
how did Garnier

1566
01:06:58,557 --> 01:07:01,936
come by the poisoned martini,
if not from Bullings?

1567
01:07:02,103 --> 01:07:05,898
Given his form,
my money's still on Kenneth.

1568
01:07:06,065 --> 01:07:07,775
When he was younger, yeah.

1569
01:07:07,942 --> 01:07:10,402
He got in
with a bad crowd.

1570
01:07:10,569 --> 01:07:12,738
But he's a good lad
at heart.

1571
01:07:12,905 --> 01:07:14,323
And I should know,
I've had the raising of him.

1572
01:07:14,490 --> 01:07:16,117
How's that?

1573
01:07:16,283 --> 01:07:19,161
His mother upped and went off
with a Canadian.

1574
01:07:19,328 --> 01:07:21,789
He didn't want to be landed
with another bloke's kiddie.

1575
01:07:21,956 --> 01:07:23,999
So, it's just been Ken and me.

1576
01:07:24,166 --> 01:07:25,793
I've done my best by him.

1577
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:27,294
Why, where was his father?

1578
01:07:27,461 --> 01:07:29,964
Tobruk.

1579
01:07:30,131 --> 01:07:33,509
He was buried out there.

1580
01:07:33,676 --> 01:07:36,303
Well...
what was left of him.

1581
01:07:36,470 --> 01:07:39,056
Panzer.

1582
01:07:39,223 --> 01:07:41,016
Flamethrower.

1583
01:07:45,646 --> 01:07:46,981
MORSE:
What's all this?

1584
01:07:47,148 --> 01:07:49,275
(strained):
Everything from
Garnier's flat.

1585
01:07:51,652 --> 01:07:54,029
(breathless):
Pays to be thorough, right?

1586
01:07:54,196 --> 01:07:55,698
Quite right,
Constable.

1587
01:07:55,865 --> 01:07:58,159
It's mostly old tat from
Garnier's travels, sir.

1588
01:07:58,325 --> 01:08:00,870
I brought his post too,
lots of bills and final demands

1589
01:08:01,036 --> 01:08:02,288
as far as I can see.

1590

The autograph book doesn't
belong to Leslie Garnier, sir.

1773
01:17:09,167 --> 01:17:10,335
STRANGE:
How's that?

1774
01:17:10,502 --> 01:17:11,837
Well, take a look
at the autographs.

1775
01:17:12,003 --> 01:17:13,380
The only one
with a dedication to Garnier,

1776
01:17:13,547 --> 01:17:16,383
is the last one from Valdemar.

1777
01:17:16,550 --> 01:17:18,218
Well, that's a pretty big
conclusion

1778
01:17:18,385 --> 01:17:19,636
to draw from not much.

1779
01:17:19,803 --> 01:17:20,887
There's something else.

1780
01:17:21,054 --> 01:17:22,139
You said it yourself.

1781
01:17:22,305 --> 01:17:24,683
Laurel and Hardy were in England
in 1953.

1782
01:17:24,850 --> 01:17:26,643
At that time,
Garnier was aboard

1783
01:17:26,810 --> 01:17:28,562
a cruise ship,
<i>The Happy Wanderer.</i>

1784
01:17:28,728 --> 01:17:31,648
I've spoken to P&O and on the
night of the tenth of February,

1785
01:17:31,815 --> 01:17:33,275
it was anchored off Sydney.

1786
01:17:33,442 --> 01:17:35,944
So... whose autograph book
was it?

1787
01:17:36,111 --> 01:17:37,487
It's not Garnier's.

1788
01:17:37,654 --> 01:17:40,866
I think, with all of this
Egyptiana-- the scarab,

1789
01:17:41,032 --> 01:17:43,618
the fact that Beavis died after
watching <i>The Pharaoh's Curse.</i>

1790
01:17:43,785 --> 01:17:45,454
I think somehow it's tied in
to Valdemar.

1791
01:17:45,620 --> 01:17:46,746
Valdemar?

1792
01:17:46,913 --> 01:17:49,749
Beavis steals the scarab
from the Pitt-Rivers museum

1793
01:17:49,916 --> 01:17:52,586
and meets whoever hired him
to hand it over at the cinema.

1794
01:17:52,752 --> 01:17:54,588
Only I don't think the killer
had any intention

1795
01:17:54,754 --> 01:17:57,424
of leaving Beavis alive to be
in a position to expose him.

1796
01:17:57,591 --> 01:18:01,887
So he spikes his carton
of orange juice.

1797
01:18:02,053 --> 01:18:03,346
How does he manage that?

1798
01:18:03,513 --> 01:18:05,807
The cartons're all sealed
aren't they?

1799
01:18:05,974 --> 01:18:07,267
If he's buying them off
the usherette,

1800
01:18:07,434 --> 01:18:09,394
all her cartons
have to be poisoned.

1801
01:18:09,561 --> 01:18:10,645
Else she's in on it.

1802
01:18:10,812 --> 01:18:11,813
Here. Try one.

1803
01:18:11,980 --> 01:18:13,064
Go on it's perfectly safe.

1804
01:18:13,231 --> 01:18:14,691
Oh, sorry.

1805
01:18:14,858 --> 01:18:15,984
Take this.

1806
01:18:20,113 --> 01:18:21,490
I just killed you.

1807
01:18:21,656 --> 01:18:24,034
It's not in the juice.

1808
01:18:24,201 --> 01:18:26,286
The poison was in the straw.

1809
01:18:26,453 --> 01:18:28,580
Garnier said Beavis
was waiting for someone

1810
01:18:28,747 --> 01:18:30,874
in the private lounge, but none
of the staff can remember

1811
01:18:31,041 --> 01:18:32,083
selling him a Whakahari.

1812
01:18:32,250 --> 01:18:33,919
So how's he come by it then?

1813
01:18:34,085 --> 01:18:36,838
Well, once the film has started,
all eyes are on the screen.

1814
01:18:37,005 --> 01:18:39,257
So whoever's buying the scarab
can slip into the cinema

1815
01:18:39,424 --> 01:18:41,843
in the dark,
take the seat next to Beavis,

1816
01:18:42,010 --> 01:18:45,931
hand him a carton of squash, and
a straw laced with strychnine.

1817
01:18:46,097 --> 01:18:47,557
Member of staff, then.

1818
01:18:47,724 --> 01:18:49,309
If they've access
to the refreshments stall.

1819
01:18:49,476 --> 01:18:51,811
See, we were never meant
to look into Beavis's death,

1820
01:18:51,978 --> 01:18:54,606
a nobody without a friend
in the world who died

1821
01:18:54,773 --> 01:18:56,900
supposedly of natural causes
at home.

1822
01:18:57,067 --> 01:18:59,402
I think it's about Valdemar.

1823
01:18:59,569 --> 01:19:01,947
He's the original
intended victim.

1824
01:19:02,113 --> 01:19:03,615
How d'you mean?

1825
01:19:03,782 --> 01:19:05,283
Garnier was never meant to die.

1826
01:19:05,450 --> 01:19:07,702
But once we came around
asking questions about Beavis,

1827
01:19:07,869 --> 01:19:09,829
<i>I think he took it upon
to himself to make inquiries</i>

1828
01:19:09,996 --> 01:19:11,706
<i>of his own before naming names.</i>

1829
01:19:11,873 --> 01:19:13,792
STRANGE:
<i>You think he confronted
the killer?</i>

1830
01:19:13,959 --> 01:19:16,127
MORSE:
<i>Well, I think he saw an
opportunity to make some money.</i>

1831
01:19:16,294 --> 01:19:21,800
<i>To stop playing for peanuts
in some fleapit cinema.</i>

1832
01:19:21,967 --> 01:19:25,554
<i>Garnier saw Beavis
hand over the scarab.</i>

1833
01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:27,055
I thought he didn't see
who was with Beavis.

1834
01:19:27,222 --> 01:19:29,766
Well, he saw enough
to know who it was.

1835
01:19:29,933 --> 01:19:32,310
What could he have seen
from up there?

1836
01:19:32,477 --> 01:19:33,853
An arm? A sleeve?

1837
01:19:34,020 --> 01:19:35,772
Don't you think
there's something odd

1838
01:19:35,939 --> 01:19:37,274
about this autograph book?

1839
01:19:37,440 --> 01:19:39,192
Look, all of the signatures

1840
01:19:39,359 --> 01:19:42,070
are written across
the narrow of the page,

1841
01:19:42,237 --> 01:19:43,863
rather than its length,
and all crammed in.

1842
01:19:44,030 --> 01:19:46,366
And all of them, on the same
side of the book.

1843
01:19:46,533 --> 01:19:48,076
So?

1844
01:19:49,995 --> 01:19:53,498
Who holds a bloody book
like that?

1845
01:19:53,665 --> 01:19:55,292
Someone who has to.

1846
01:19:56,960 --> 01:19:57,919
THURSDAY:
<i>A man with only one hand.</i>

1847
01:19:59,879 --> 01:20:01,965
And that's what Garnier saw
from the rooftop.

STRANGE:
<i>The commissionaire?</i>

1849

the variety circuit,

1850
01:20:07,679 --> 01:20:09,264
opened the door
for all the greats.

1851
01:20:09,431 --> 01:20:11,099
It's just another autograph book

1852
01:20:11,266 --> 01:20:12,767
stuck under the nose

So, what?

1855
01:20:16,730 --> 01:20:18,857
Gordon adds
Akhenaten's cartouche,

1856
01:20:19,024 --> 01:20:20,191
and slips the book
into Garnier's pocket

1857
01:20:20,358 --> 01:20:21,610

1858
01:20:21,776 --> 01:20:23,737

<i>Maybe he asked Garnier
to mind it for him.</i>

1859

MORSE:
<i>Or perhaps he did it</i>

1860
01:20:25,280 --> 01:20:26,406
<i>when he swapped the martini
with the twist</i>

1861
01:20:26,573 --> 01:20:28,325
