Eden about the operation tomorrow I am glad you want the Apocrypha that's right and I'll put back the kitchen [Music] oh there you are Esther why don't you mean it must be chilly 30 overslept or something there's some cocoa for you out here yourself please don't bother I don't want anything yes Esther what's the matter mr.

Jared Higgins was wheeled to the operating [Music] I've needed new oxygen senator nurse we nearly ran this one out last time farewell sir good morning miss good morning sir how's the patient I can do

remember me Joe Wiggins yes you're the postman you would you gonna do the anesthetic yes do you got in there one perfectly shove it in there sister I think I'll give the anesthetic on the table save time there's nothing to have this type okay well you say you're getting the anesthetic on the table that's right bring the machine in woods do hurry yes Oh Samson you can bring the patient in right

Megan [Music] don't have to be an inquest for us right most unfortunate you see there's always create social mistaken impression outside of course I'm not suggesting anyone's in there at least to blame burns are you quite certain that the tubes when com+ you check the machine of course well I'm inclined to take the view that the man was still suffering from shock these things a bun to happen now and then when taking justifiable risks in urgent cases I'm afraid we can't tell the coroner them oh why not because this case wasn't particularly urgent no and there wasn't any risk the patient was perfectly fit mm-hm sure you've taken the anesthetic without turning a hair well the fact remains he didn't this would have to happen in my very first month yeah most district any viewers burn in of course I wasn't there but it certainly seems a bit strange might get a clue from the first mortem clue why is he between well rich Wilson no no doctor gloss written itself out thank you gentlemen I don't think I need cable thank you Sam by the way I don't see that this need to be any reason for cancelling tonight's little gathering it started sometime again hmm well fine well it makes a break for nurses helps morale I might even look another leader myself enough runs would you mind saying behind him [Music] both of our little gathering is that he didn't on-scene great Oh [Music] bums you were in practice in this district before joining the hospital I believe I was yes mmm frankly I'm told that this one for the first interest of its kind you've had to attend with heavenspot that's true the other was four years ago yes just a little unfortunate I don't know what you're implying the surgeon and I were both exonerated obviously I'm not suggesting for the moment natural causes cardiac failure might happen to any of us the fact remains people talk I generally do they will in this case let them I don't know that we can take quite so carefree of you we have the hospital to think of now I can see that but after all influence soon after you came here I believe an anonymous letter was received from some illiterate half-wit beneath contempt of court still can today I was rather hoping for that gesture from you yeah it might I know this Rob the suggestion it might simplify matters if you were to discontinue your Thatcher duties pending you ain't admit responsibility for Higgins is dead good heavens no if I'm suspended that's what it amounts to Mike yeah you know I nearly suggested that I was hoping the gesture would come from you well it won't now listen involved I'm the only gesture I feel like making it's far from polite vulgar I'm Sean I treat assess everyone do Peter says that this hospital had a magnificent record partly because you backed his staff to the hilt this is intolerable I asked for cooperative operation what you want is a scapegoat neatly trussed up as a convenient sacrifice in case anyone starts throwing bricks at you right well spend me if you like if you do I should appeal good night [Music] [Applause] [Music] Bonnie Ellie just head what's happening everything I bumped off a patient insulted the superintendent and practically been suspended Raj Scott small change I have you really mean suspended right Indiana it it wasn't your ordinary thank you that seems to be beside the point why didn't you come and tell me after yesterday

when either of us ever pretended it for sales there's all over months ago no harm except to me I've tried to be considerate but you won't let me consider it you can't afford to be anything else what do you mean you see I happen to know no one can't you guess I can you really want me to tell you yeah no what are you talking about what is always you know all right listen everybody I'm sorry to interrupt the dancing but I have an important announcement to make a patient called Higgins died in the theatre this morning it wasn't natural causes and it wasn't an accident I tell you what it was my accident but I find out and believe it or not I know who did it so what's more about something to prove it I know where it is but I've hidden it I've hidden it and I'm the only one that knows where all right but I suggest you come and tell doctor all right all about it I'll take you hi sister could I have secured the operating kiss please go along I'm just hang back okay [Music] [Applause] [Music] what on earth's the matter with you man we haven't a snake what is it was someone following me don't be upset [Music] but you are asleep not me that's bounds what the entity sister [ __ ] stupid five minutes ago [Music] [Music] it was early the next morning the 19th that I myself in person [Music] good morning no considering everything yes I was wrong winning mmm just the usual slight discomfort after meals nothing I have an appointment with the superintendent do you mind telling a man here what name Cockrell Inspector Cochrane yes Scotland Yard I'm afraid dr. white please a terrible business inspector right well where's the body in the theatre justice response surgeon there yes I do hope everything can be arranged discreetly shouldn't think for a moment why not press do they have to be seen oh yeah why do you mind oh it'll give me a good write-up my fam morning 10 encoded anything yes sir Kitty's well fine good bodies on the floor doctor any views stamp twice of course says he sagittal knife found him second world first in heart cause of death took place nine not 10:00 last night couldn't put it in in the other you know after we knew within 10 minutes found these on the floor probably worn by whoever did it and left behind any fingerprints nice of hers low downright covered or right hand doctor wait did you assemble other people you mentioned at once so we're private I'd like to talk to them yes inspector I wish the man would come and get it over he's conducting a war of nerves that's what it is and I think about lying there like that only a few minutes before she was it like that's enough pretty I think devil is he only after five of us here that's what I would do now because you are the only people who seem to have been concerned with both murders simpler than you think of it isn't it this is inspector conical mr. Eaton dr. Barnes nurse woods Sampson Lindley likey inspector you said both murders mr. Bates and what's-his-name Higgins who said Higgins was married well sister [ __ ] herself for one last night I understood you were there dr. burns yes but I didn't realize she knew what about the Higgins bears modern completely negative but why should anyone want to murder Higgins maybe young lady how should I know I really just got here I understand from dr. white did all of you a prison for need a nice linen it interesting trust card I beg your pardon accept knows nearly well sir I've earned duty and Higgins his wallet the whole of the night before yes sir one and all of you were at the party so there you are are you implying that one of us did it it seems very likely don't you think inspector corporal I really can't help feeling that there must be some relatively innocent explanation of this terrible lie but please don't affect us barely we are dealing with two premeditated murders can anyone tell me anything do you think I ought to know if so now is the time we will pause for 30 seconds right you cook up your elevators did you get it here just insult us I only like to strike an informal knew it well I'd cooked mine up inspector I hope it's good Oh turn to a turn oh well I stayed here for a few minutes after sister ran out and then I went straight back to our rooms in the Coach House for five minutes walk anyone see you I don't know I'm sure you can do better mr. Eden ah the exercise of little imagination you followed sister Bates I believe yeah did you catch her is if you tell me if you did I followed her out to the terrace but she disappeared I waited a moment adored she didn't show up so I went direct to the sister's room Eden one moment dr. burns anyone see you I shouldn't think so Invisible Man Thanks no sense in your turn is that necessary inspector she's not well and like the rest of this she's been out tonight there's nothing to tell I was just leaving when sister bait stopped the gramophone and spoke to everyone it upset me rather it was all well embarrassing where did you go straight to the coach house she was in bed when I got there well business she couldn't have done it militia was fully dressed under the bedclothes then she met over time that's preposterous what about you I went after Eden me why because you thought he might be the murder suggested by the late sister Bates oh that's a charming supposition well thank you I don't know if you're suggesting I'm Kachemak no what did you do then went for a walk where in the garden why did you want the key for the operating theater I didn't you told sergeant McCoy last night to dr. Barnes run to the keeper I didn't do yes right did not appear to nurse are you know why did you go to the theatre just a minute she discovered the body ins Vikrant some of our most celebrated criminals have made a particular point of doing the same mr. Bates had she hidden something I thought the theater was the most likely place she just feminine curiosity why not not the desire to remove that something before sister Bates could use it to criminate anyone dr. burns for instance Oh mr. evening that's more like it yeah positively excelling yourself this morning banj you're the young lady's fiancee I believe I was you believe with his use of the past tense I couldn't agree more another function remains when it comes to this all of your head time yet none of your stories is corroborated let's be ordered it and one of you realize exactly the sort of person we're dealing with let me tell you how I think sister Bates died she hunted into the operating theater unlock the cupboard step down to get the evidence he had hidden there I don't know yeah then she heard something she turned and saw a figure standing in the dark masked and gound and Glenn imagine she just stayed where she was staring and the murder Kim's Luna over to her and stabbed her dressed her in this soil theater gown and stabbed her again through it to make it look as if she'd been killed wearing the gown but why I don't know that either but what we do know is that the second wound was made after death the murderer was not had a you see he tore the gown somewhat now there's one other thing this bottle of tablets was taken from the poison cupboard dr. biters check the contents and there are four missing a lethal dose the murderer has them and will not hesitate to use them Paul are you are in mortal danger from the fear above all don't trust your neighbor your roommate fiance your friend Yoshi maybe the murderer can instead sister Bates died because she knew or something that was foolish enough to say sir I shouldn't do that again if I were you inspector why not because nurse Anson is on the verge of a nervous breakdown actual or assumed apps you would prepare to judge that via so three months ago her mother was buried under the ruins of her house in a rape the rescue squad dug fodder for three days and gave it up next day she was fun still alive she died in are they Esther was there the whole time it's good to be expected to know that there were that bothering to inquire you scare the life out of it like any that put in copper off the beat the police force has not a monopoly of fallen arches dr. Barnes ask any chiropodist Thank You mr. Eden before the war you had to have some hidden spark I believe yeah and you had a pectus in the district I did good there dr. Barnes would you care to accompany me to the theater you give Higgins anesthetic what's that got to do with it that's what I'm hoping to find out did you knew him only by side no squatters is a remarkable woman absolutely first class ever live in Helens Park not as far as I know she used to live the other side of London still got nursing minute sister died win it 1940 on the continent honey what is oh it's nothing it's just the Higgins thought in your voice that so indeed even if you were some nasal catarrh nothing in particular why just Wendy I often suffer from it the mornings at the Machine I used there is he they brought Higgins in here I examined him he was quite fit so he went ahead in here no I gave him in the theater the coup de Grasse the anesthetic is that usual not really it's after me Annette you there medication we go I gave nitrous oxide at first to get him under yes stuff the dentist gives you mmm come the new des nothing gets used to be actually the impurities cause the labs just the same as our musicals then I added oxygen when he failed to respond my ignorance is simply staggering please demonstrate black and white oxygen black nitrous oxide green carbon dioxide Perez despairs I began the nitrous oxide so plenty to registered correctly and I got him under I added oxygen like I didn't like the look of him so I cut down the nitrous oxide and increase the oxygen by surprise it didn't respond so I turned off the nitrous oxide altogether put him on pure oxygen and then simply collapsed I injected adrenaline and that's what's gave cardamon as a last resort yes woods the t's have been tampered with don't see how in any event the damage had been done before then what about this spinner calm diopside-- which I'm gonna use a little stimulated respiration isn't poisonous without oxygen yes you is endian Higgins none at all good couple duck the wrong cylinder by mistake these machines are a support group if they can make them besides we checked everything it wouldn't be possible to fill the say an empty oxygen cylinder with carbon dioxide good heavens now it takes terrific pressure just supposing well the patient would be getting carbon dioxide instead of oxygen he'd die of lack of oxygen you couldn't tell by the flowmeter of the postmortem no the whole thing is quite ludicrous miss bare with me doctor I'm a child in these matters can I go now no I didn't think so you're the similar experience once before didn't you suppose dr. White's been talking incessantly it wasn't similar but no comparison and I made that mistake in either case then did does he even think that Eden what's he been saying nothing to me you don't think anew if I discuss that of anybody it'll be with Eden by nothing confidentially how should I know without that anonymous litter if you're silly enough to attach any importance to a thing like that it wasn't that exactly there's merely wondering if Higgins was the postman who delivered it yes I was idiotically pleaser who time they know then it might have saved another life the next morning my presents layover the hospital like a roach voices behind [Music] when that is what we were thinking I found it all to enjoy during the rest of that day I continued my investigations my accustomed editor [Music] afternoon ladies yeah no need to be alarmed you're done asserting your rooms well outfit did you know Higgins personal no no precisely with your relationship with sister Bates not exactly distant dating it harmless enough well sir I thought nevertheless you certainly had a motive for getting rid of her only in her imagination she might have proved troublesome she was jealous and possessive most women are little give them the slightest encouragement would you invariably give them mm-hmm well they're sometimes not so slightly are you trying to make me lose my temper there is only a secondary object from time to time one of those internal devices roared away [Music] such trifles of course did not for a moment distract me from my brothers did Higgins see anything that night who do you think might help us he only just got in when the bomb fell he didn't speak again now cuz I haven't clean out for a bit when I came round I could hear his radio mm-hmm the radio yes arrow Wallace said sinhala anger treaty was - yeah what is it playing wasn't flag hmm was talking what about well let me think come now surely you can remember I can't get it out of my mind when I woke up today I didn't remember it first and it all came back I went to the window and there was inspector slinking about outside he's probably looking about in the bushes at this very moment or a bigger back why to love they're not still suspects that's a very good thought to escape not easy you seen Barney no I don't know what to do about him there's no tiny American man he's behaving so ridiculously I don't blame him he's in love with him don't blame him for that I don't it is a lovely night in such a night as this when the sweet wind did gently kissed the trees and they did make no noise in such a night try this methinks mounted the Troy and Wars inside his soul towards the Grecian temps where created in such a night the young Lorenzo swear he loved her will stealing her soul with many vows of fate and now a true one good night mr. Eden good night have buns there's woods Jane woods where she labeled when she came to London everything good find out ring right away [Music] so much for the 19 the morning of the 20 other besides me with the going 10 minutes yet how about washing up I'll come back at 9 o'clock and do that anyone in oh hello good morning sir good morning I didn't startle you did I Oh I come to warn you he clumped I've been wandering around for about an hour I thought I'd just drop in see if you're all right well we're still here sir somewhat to our surprise have some tea nothing goes bump in the night only my apart stick the kettle on Esther no please down dolly it's got gone again - Freddie's hot water bottle have bedrooms freezing if you're looking for Freddie she's not back yet for now really I wasn't back just dropped in oh yes it's Pocky for an August day I thought I just seen us in their home and come and see if you were all right seems to be a popular movement well I'll push off got a cup of tea s does not until someone gives me a shilling the gas has died on us oh yeah it's my turn and I forgot this is one in my bag Bob's for the love of Ella honey how about you sir nothing doing ready my pet you'll have to go to bed with half a lukewarm water bottle well I guess it's over now McCoy oh of course not I'm too tired to care how does kept at or yesterday who did nervous I imagine speaking is the life from soul of a party I just can't keep it up oh don't worry darling you've been wonderful really happy it's this wandering and watching I don't believe it was one of us it can't been yet somebody must have killed him but why why Higgins I was thinking during the night about that gown what done one sister Bates was firmly what a budget we were a hole in it where she was stabbed mm-hmm I knew there was something that seemed wrong I know it sounds silly they suddenly dawned on me what it was what shut up if you have anything to tell tell it to the inspector and hunt you being a little fanciful I must say I can't see any harm in him cross not the inspector did say if we found out anything to go to him and not trust anyone he happens to be quite right absent matter in here doesn't join intuition stretch that far well who's any thoughts I had when I wake up I expect it'll seem too silly for words don't you brush my teeth I'll go get your are you quite happy about the way you're behaving self-criticism has never been one of my failings I hope they're not confusing Freddie with the kind of woman who used to differ in and out of your consulting room in a platter of check for the eyelashes yeah those were the good old days I miss Jake like the rest of us she's been under a nervous strain for a long time well I'd hate to see her giving up someone permanent like Barney and falling for your practiced and rather hollow charm much to cut I'm serious supposing I were to what Syria I might be well I think we'd better keep this conversation practical your own way Thank You Dover My dear nose voice Who am I to make the course of true love running is smooth all right oh no I warn you Barney won't bottle it up much longer any moment now he'll grab the nearest grandfather clock and break it over your head whereupon I for one will give three rousing Cheers unprotected females you only just discovered that strictly speaking now why complain I'm not complaining ready woody come on they're coming son in a minute I think I want to give Bonnie a run honey you have been warmed by by Fetty see you tonight bye-bye [Music] get me inspector caulk over there what well see if you can find him and ring me back everything's ready now sister just going back to the Coach House for a few minutes to clear up this little line very well nice when you get back before 9:30 yes [Music] dr. balanced yeah thank you they're spectacles inspector specific I do a wizard I learned to talk to him well it's about nest in there yes I think it might be important and I mean if I'm again Kashmir's [Music] everyone said it was something about NASA Bentley I [Music] wait a minute in other words Freddy [Music] I was ready still unconscious can I see her no why not because they seized her well the murderer has achieved his first object he or she has silenced nursling name what please for the time being could it possibly have been an accident the only accident brother she survived thanks to nurse sensing her just simplified the problem ah mrs.

Eden remained behind when everyone else had gone dr. Barnes was within easy distance across the yard each one of you could have slipped up to her room and turned on their tete you all new nurse would just habit of going back in 9:15 to boil a kettle for washing up of course none knew that better than nurse would insist sir you told me you'd never met Higgins I haven't that's autumns farm a couple of miles from Heaven's Park mean anything to what you lived there once didn't you up to 15 years ago yes as a matter of fact I did why wait with your mother and your sister yes is there anything wrong in that no no you're a theatre nurse aren't you cause excess trend aesthetics in theatre gowns I suppose since debates were stepped through a theater game yes there's no mr. jinwu something about that same gun just before her life is attempted well and Hagen is recognized your voice he couldn't have done after you did you know the last thing that Higgins heard is your name a deputy of that rescue post how should I know Hendrix listened and you're here but Higgins heard listen meanwhile our attacks have continued without a force since June the 15th and have made much of the British capital in ruins as the desperate Churchill lies frantically to save his faith London and the Home Counties are reeling under the incessant fire of our terrible v1 this is Germany calling this is Germany calling a BBC monitor recording of a broadcast from Hamburg on the evening of the 17-year Woody scarcely there her sister but a twin the sister of my information to correct am i right yes you're right you were very fond of your sister weren't you yes and ashamed for I tried to hide it her I said she died in France in 1940 I'd have done anything looting murder murder well I had the motive didn't I Higgins might have put two and two together and I had the opportunity each time and I did go to Freddie's room alone and I did put the shilling in the meter well why don't you all say what you're thinking why don't you tell them why don't you tell them I did it no who said you did Oh didn't leave the inspector has a charming aptitude for travelling in ever decreasing circles which are here can only have one in some day mr.
