Kirkpatrick miss my goal is a disappeared rubbish she's just gone away that's all now against the law is it then you wouldn't mind telling us about your movements on Tuesday the night you had a date a date I've got to know the woman solely because of my interest in art the only way to get into that house and look at Marco Lass's pictures is through her really yes really I've been trying to remember the name of that thing he's got in the Tate what that painting of his in the team what's it called I don't know what he calls well that's strange what do you think of his works in gouache I'll never been there I'm sure they're very nice I'm referring to the painting medium that Mark Curtis often uses in look I don't have to answer your questions you're quite right mr. Kirkpatrick I mean we can't even prove that miss Margolis is dead no we'll just make a note that you were probably the last person to see her alive how did you decline to answer our questions listen pater my wife is a very jealous woman seems to run in the family was it jealousy that made you threaten miss Margolis a couple of weeks ago I don't know what you were talking about what did mrs. Peniston tell you mr. Bergman mr. Kirkpatrick exact words you said I might kill you myself one of these fine days was last Tuesday one of these fine days funny way to talk to a woman you were only interested in because of her brothers paintings wasn't mr. Kirkpatrick this is all stupid that day as you call it well she never kept it I didn't go out with her Wow if you'll be frank with us there's meeting do any further certainly not your wife's ears we're not interested in her possible divorce proceedings there's nothing to be frank about I was going to Scotland last Tuesday for my firm yes I had arranged to meet miss Margolis before I went I don't deny that I admit that she was gonna show me some of mark irises more early work anyway he was going out so we knew it'd be all right I was going home first for a meal but I got held up and there wasn't time so I went straight round to the cottage and I miss Mark Hollis that is she forgotten about me coming she said she was going to a party that's all what time did you get in the cottage about 7:30 I remember because I called in at Grover's for an evening paper on the way and they were just closing while you still had time to do your artistic researches after audio mr. Eden meal I asked her if I could come in for a bit she said no I'll sit off take her for a meal before the party she said she wasn't hungry just change their mind I suppose how do you have this car since last Monday I assault my own and got that one off my firm so mr. marquales had never seen it I don't know what you're getting at I think you do mr. Kirkpatrick I think mr. Margolis didn't want to come out with you because he didn't wanna be seen in that car rubbish she's a woman of taste I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear she burst out laughing when she saw fit I don't see what's so damn funny I mean ever they hold that she thinks she is does it make me to a different man change my personality or something just cause of our car with a slogan on it I was good enough for her before my money was good enough what did you do borrow more innocuous car I told you we didn't go out together and if we happen to used hers oh you couldn't because the radiator was leaking I suggest you've got hold of a blue car and took miss Margolis to starten who said I was in startin cool Thorne was he like our thongs because he lives in stout and he was giving the party so you're a better jewelry starett in that night you say you didn't go with mr. Margolis but why else did you call you were on your way to Scotland you say for whatever route you took Stewart and his miles out of your way know what they have a difference does he make I mean I didn't want to end up in Scotland in the small hours I had the whole evening to kill I said I thought the most important thing was that Anne wasn't with me my god she wasn't even in startin she didn't even go to her party [Music] I know she wasn't at the party a brother knows mr. course hormones how the hell do you know PD we're not in Morocco could have put on your Yash Mac suppose you'll not realize I shall be a marked woman Hey look supposing I do pick him out and he escapes me the Joestar dumb-dumb these days you just have to take your chance on that come on baby well you can't trust people these days Kenya you never told me whether you're going to do anything about that other thing that keeping of what you call it us well that depends I'm putting myself out help you we shall have to see beyond this Ruby what's Massey has ever done for you except take your money and pretty well break up your marriage I don't want to get George into trouble this is natural habitat I was crazy about him once you see I never had any kids never had what you could call her husband not a real husband mr. branch was old enough to be my father George had been in prison I knew that but he seems so sort of happy to be with me 43 quid georgette off me and all the drink I've got into place and God knows how many good dinners but he wouldn't lie down this side that's not nice mr. Wexford not when you've got memories you can't help wanting he's not worthy of your loyalty Ruby [Music] cheer up Ruby mr.

Kirkpatrick yes well I don't want my family being frightened or bothered that woman not identifying me should finish the matter once and for all so if you've got any more questions you want to ask me you'd better speak now or forever hold our peace eh well we don't work quite like that mr.

M mr. Michaelis I've decided not to think about it I'm simply getting on with my work Anne will be back well I'm sure yes mrs. Peniston agrees wasn't it have you ever seen this before it's a cigarette lighter yes the point is is it your sisters I don't know I never seen it before people are always giving her scenes no look it's got her name on it no it's got a hand on it yeah let's have a look no no she never had nothing like that maybe we had our coffee break mid-morning always had a cigarette with it she did you need one of them cigarette lighters I said see you now she got through umpteen boxes of matches get some young fella to give you one arson cuz it was around Christmas and her birthday was in Jan so she may have had it for a birthday well if she did she never showed it to me death never even had one of them gasps lightest neither my boy could get you one cos price I said didn't being in the trade but no she wouldn't right well that seems to clear that up thank you for your help I'll see myself out oh well ma no you go then Monda bucket [Music] yes [Music] [Music] it says ill this is cold sit down I'm sorry to hear you're feeling unwell psychological aspect hardly surprising after yesterday I'm afraid you may have to go through the mill again something's come up I've told you everything I know we don't think so mr. Kirkpatrick for a start there's this ludicrous farce about your owner being interested in miss Margolis because about brothers paintings we know very well you were her lover you threatened the killer on your own admission you were in startin on Tuesday night alright alright it's all true should have told you it's not it's their kids they always give custody to the mother never mind what kind of mother she happens to be you ever seen this before icers its ads you're sure course I'm sure she flaunted it in my face did you give this letter to miss Margolis how could I have thought a thing like that how did you know it was her it's about a month ago I called round to see her but she was out Margolis he didn't seem to want to know me so I sat in my car and waited for her to come back oh not the car I've got now the one I had before the black one did she come back yes after about half an hour she'd just picked her car up from having it serviced she was fiddling about with it I got him beside her she was swearing because the garage had pushed the seat right back anyway I picked up the lighter I knew she hadn't heard it before when I saw the inscription well I knew her I knew what kind of turn she must have been on with her ever giving it to her for an lights my life Jesus I could have killed her what do you mean that I mean I couldn't kill anyone you know that I know very little about you mr. Kirkpatrick you seem to have a split personality one day you tell me you're merely interested in mr. Margolis is a key to her brother's paintings and the next that you're passionately jealous of her now which of these personalities is the dominant one I laughter I was jealous and you don't know a bond are from a bull's foot go on about the lighter my god I was mad never to go near that girl my wife ever finds out for a man in love you're not showing much grief mr. Kirkpatrick I didn't kill her I don't know anything about it let's go back to the lighter shall we she took it from me when she looked at him she looked at it in a peculiar way what do you mean peculiar as if there was something to laugh at some big joke sitting there in that fur coat sitting there holding that little bit of gold in her hand she read out the inscription on the side and she sort of laughed perhaps there was a joke oh there was a joke all right I was the joke Astor had given it to her he's got a pretty turn of phrase my generous friend don't you think she said you'd never think of anything like that Alan all you can do is add two and two and make them come to about sixteen what did she mean by that I don't know what she meant when you love someone you want to be sorry when they're dead Onew I loved her you talk about showing grief but my God if I could never or to myself just me what rather she was dead what were you doing in started on Tuesday night I don't have to tell you that I don't have to tell you anything as you said yesterday we can't keep you here that's right there's nothing more I can tell you anyway perhaps it'll come to you tell you what we'll drop in later when the children are in bed that's your wife that's what you were doing in stouter it's funny we be recognizing it like now why funny well recognizing him but not being able to say for sure if it was Jeff Smith while she probably had her life firmly fixed on his wallet I mean perhaps mine too this behavior wasn't too wonderful as far as ruby was concerned there was a nexus vicious landing it was just a simple commercial transaction there was no reason for her to take too much no Kisame enough to notice that he was short young of dark Kirkpatrick's thought that short he must be 5 foot 9 or 10 it's the alias that puzzles me but all the Smith's obvious white Jeff we're not John for heaven sake or William maybe Jeffrey's Kirkpatrick's middle name I was gonna ask Oh Little Miss Grover's being led off the lead for once okay Patrick was a custom Levesque was named he said boy does he need paper there yes he did he tried to on the Tuesday in question but they were closed so could easily seen rubies Karpin a she could wonder people to knife their - let's go see if he's cool down if I tell you why I was in statin you'll think I'm mad join me well she wouldn't go out with me on account of that damn car I don't know the hell she think she alright alright get on with it I didn't believe she was going to that party I went to startin to check up on her I got there at 8:00 and I waited for hours she never came I just sat there and waited and when she never came well I knew she'd lied to me I knew she'd found someone younger and richer you just waited I just waited when you found me at the cottage yesterday morning I'd gone there to make a scene I've gone there to ask oh the hell she thinks he is you say you waited where did you wait at the side of cool ones under a tree and making out of a racket in there shouting and playing music I was there for three hours more than that just sitting in the car mr. Kirkpatrick this story of yours may be true but you must realize it's pretty thin can you produce anybody that can verify it for you course I can't well I can't imagine a police hunting up witnesses to disprove their own case then you got a lot to learn we're not here to make cases we had to get her the truth didn't anybody see you some drunk came out the house wondering about spouting poetry but he didn't see me what about when the guests were arriving I told you I was at the side road by the launderette that girl that girl she saw me oh that girl from Grover's you saw her at seven o'clock when you try to buy your papers what you were doing at seven o'clock isn't relevant no no no no I saw her later in starten where well I was up the side road by the launderette and she was coming along in a car she stopped at the traffic lights I was standing by my car and don't ask me what time it was but she looked across at me looked at the car and giggled good for a laugh I suppose I should probably remember when gee are you doing here soon you're a miserly I can't come out shop to see to encumber I'm taking you police station you're trying to be funny or something I'm not being funny what what they want me for is it about the effort you know why because nothing's just routine just try you mustn't do that tell your parents [Music] your father any better says it's an agony I can't tell Connie with what he's got as if there's anything to show seems to me as a slave driver they're all slave drivers but your own dad and somehow they talk to me sure I'm smiling me like that I want to do to you what happened last night I just like to ask you a few routine questions miss Grover I believe you know mr. Kirkpatrick he's a customer of yours is he but if you don't recognize the name perhaps you know the car you probably saw it outside just now funny car would pink stripes and flowers on it oh I know him I want you to cast your mind back to Tuesday evening were you installed in that night yes why I was doing Tuesday's I take our washing to the laundry in my dad's car but my dad's ela mom goes to a whist Drive most nights all right writin I shan't need you for a moment no did mr. what's-his-name see me I saw him you're sure oh yes I know him we come to the shop earlier just as we were closing it wasn't just a car you identified the empty car well I didn't know the car it used to have a different one when I saw me that knew it was his it made me laugh you think such a lot of himself see what time was that late I just come from the laundrette was on my way home must have been quarter past nine just after I stopped at the traffic lights and he'd park the car down by the side of the garage Hawthorne's I know it was him you're sure about the time you're not wearing a watch I just come from the laundrette seeing the clock all right Miss Grover you can run along there thank you very much mr. Kirkpatrick ought to be very grateful to you that girl was gotta could be right we should never have let cook Patrick out what did we have to hold him on Mike oh I agreed probably went straight under the Grove was the moment we let him out girl wasn't a tease show me a grow but they wouldn't do anything for money like father like daughter kid not much of a life is it that dirty little shop every day I mean washing him out just because her mother's out playing whist look if he was outside court thorns at about half past 9:00 he's in the clear am I wasting our time with him but if that girl's lying and he did it he could have disposed of Anita's body anywhere between here and the Scottish border I wouldn't mind having another girl Kirkpatrick in his wife's presence no let him rest for a while there's a king-sized question is did he believe that girl I'm hoping she feels inclined to confide in Drayton treatment what he's attracted to the opposite sex wouldn't you say there's a brooding soul caleb gets him every time if you want my opinion he looks like some damn trendy you wouldn't even know he was supposed to be a policeman yes and he's gone too far how do you fancy gaining miss Grover's confidence well sergeant Martin and I are scarcely cut out to strut before a wanton ambling nymph though I don't suppose your wife a bit too keen not have a treatment not necessary unless I'm much mistaken we can leave that to mother nature tomorrow I'm worried rich she's 21 Dora she's a grownup doesn't you worry you that girl worried me so look I'm sorry like she's not feminine well there's the milkman would you don't dislike him I know that's the fashion but there's something about it it's none of our business Dora it is children it doesn't mean you stop worrying about you can worry about them if you want you can worry about them for the rest of your life you used to worry about Sylvia until she had Robin know you're worried about Robert I'm never worried about Sylvia the way I worry about sheep Sylvia was always more down-to-earth that's because she takes after me she does more like you sensitive it is no good you trying to butter me up now no I didn't think there would be I'm just not happy about Sheila sharing a flat with that girl I'm surprised you are you didn't like her here she is now you talk to a rich I don't are you all lurking in here I'm not lurking I'm cooking fart is lurking if I got time for a bath before dinner oh by the way we didn't forget about the flat for a bit jams getting her boyfriend to move in with her [Music] [Music] thanks Mike chief constables read unto me about this case according to him he's not to be allowed to develop into a murder inquiry evidence inconclusive and so forth we've got a couple of days to skirt around and that's a lot see the whole place turned upside down just to get Mikey Matthews a few more months for stealing by finding the stain on the carpet was you drove his imagination Anita Margolis is on holiday the couple have staggered down the paths were drunk I'm Kirk Patrick he's simply afraid of his wife now I quote the powers that be Martin's watching Kirkpatrick's house do I call him off what else is there for him to do we're pretty slack otherwise as for the questions I want answered Griswold isn't interested he says there's been no hunting up of fresh suspects without a positive lead look if we serve slack why can't you just let us get on with it taxpayers money wasted off at least that's my directive and I have to abide by it it's supposed to be any objection if I went to enquired a few jewelers but [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] yeah no no I'm sorry we don't sell lighters anyway but I doubt if anyone round these parts and sell a thing like this that's what everyone tells me well it's a work of art isn't it eight or nine years ago it might have come from here huh before we took over from scatcherd's people said they were the best jewelers between London and Brighton old mr. scatcherd still lives in the town I suppose if you wanted to talk to him I don't know too long ago thank you thank you searches parsing this is for you token of my gratitude I don't want that I didn't do anything I really saw you know hurt but the point is over it's done with look what you just have a look at it listen I don't want it looks please just look at it will you go away sir give it to your wife I don't want it [Music] there you are mr. John a drink that's very kind love half is not so much trouble you're right they are for doing necklace a necklace that she refused said she'd really seen him in Stockton and do you want anything more to do with him so she didn't take it then no dice piece it was to a big show in mind holding up in red paper and gold cord was it now it sounds like joy Jules what if he was a regular customer and says I suppose he could have bought the lie to their years ago what it was to sketch it had it engraved recently for this girl come in sir come in I was just making myself a cup of tea perhaps you will do me the honor of joining me that's very kind of you son good it's lapsang souchong that's all right fine well uh what have you brought me to look at could it have come from around here what you want to get things like this in London hey yeah I know the design it's called leg wrapped on my veal The Grapes of my vine it's billed allure of course highly appropriate for a lovers gift oh and it was a lover's gift for an who lights my life a pretty greeting for related have you ever seen it before oh yes seven eight years ago III know the design but this particular one's fairly new surely no that's what I'm saying I remember selling it I see and the inscription could have been added recently yo knows before I retired before George arose deliver that's impossible a Garrett's Victor I really ought to know I engraved it myself who did you sell it to Kirkpatrick he hasn't sold anything for certain years and seven years ago Anita Margolis wasn't here probably didn't know such a place as Kings Markin existed let's be Kirkpatrick about all scotch it's got a wonderful memory for his age and he said he's never had a customer call Kirkpatrick just doesn't add up oh it adds up all right Mike some early jobs up we just hung up the right figures that's all yes well sketch it's going through his books now it'll take him an hour or two what do we got from the lab nothing at all Ruby's carpet is cleaner than the day left the shop and the McCauley's girls car has only her own fingerprints on it you know it's always possible but Anita my girl is just found the lighter you know picked it up in the street notice the inscription and kept it because it was appropriate you mean someone lost it Anita found it and then lost it again at Ruby's don't be daft man it's not an old umbrella it's a valuable article and it's the key to this whole thing each time I come to the end of the year she warned I have a faint recollection of Christmas and they seem to remember selling a particularly fine ring at about the same time hmm yes here it is the ring I mentioned not the same day I'm sure ah yeah we are gold cigarette lighter to order leg wrap do Marvine inscribed for an who lights my life oh not much help to you I'm afraid such a common name still there is an address what name Smith it was sold on December the 15th 1978 to a mr. Jeffrey Smith become this chip Smith isn't on the Electoral Register he can't very well be underage unless we're dealing with a little boy or a lighter for a little girl I'd like to get the lab to work on now of course it could be a foreigner to change his name didn't get naturalized or an American or a Canadian or an Australian or surely she would have noticed an accent when he was booked in the room Smith's known an eater for years and their friendship was renewed when she and my girls came to live here so he puts the room on Saturday night going to be business black car which he sells whether they be kept exchanging it could be one and he gives his name because he's got no idea is gonna have anything to hide Anita meet Smith somewhere parks her own car and goes with him to Ruby's in his the quarrel Umbra this room yep maybe they quarrel over Kirkpatrick good I think sense and he attacks them with a knife or razor manages to get her out of the house and into the car but she dies and he dumps her body somewhere or hides it in this place of his in Salford so Patrick only comes into it as a rival and all his worries are genuinely caused by fear of his wife all the facts but it goes all roads houses together well looking at this point then do you want let's go to song brain see new peloton romance Anabaptist tunnel before he gets carried away by young men I'm mostly involved with a Grover and nested the line of business trip - sorry baton what do you mean I asked you if you were mrs.

Kirkpatrick asked you too would you Wow you wouldn't be led into temptation by a nifty rope and rhinestones would you I never even spoke to him he was just getting out of that Daffy car of his when your man drives up Becky nips and off down on the street that Martin of yours was a nasty bit of work huh very nasty to me was some would call it threatening some would call it saving the weaker vessel from her baser instincts your longitude he tonight right pick a pansy this Grover usually comes over here to do laundry Tuesday dungeon yes Kirkpatrick's in the clear both Ruby and the little Grover girls so I'm outside calls all sure enough PDM going around trying to bribe them gilding the lily fool can't leave well alone it's the inside of a divorce court east frightened of Dajjal straight to the old king spoke road sir straight to the out King's rook Road [Music] this is 22 it is never the street yeah there was a row of shops everyone outside wasn't it yeah if Maudie and houses all along this hey who you want I can see that we're gonna do for you number 22 yeah you found it we're looking for an accountant used to live here never Smith no I don't know nothing about out mate what l moved away six months ago you want to try to cast down the road do your coffee neither Ripley's a Scorpio no I'm looking for someone who used to live across the road number 22 named Jeff Smith the one who was an accountant yeah that's right he won't find in love will Erin no they certainly won't why not cuz he's dead love opened up these 18 months [Music] I don't believe it I just have believe [Music] I'm not much of a one for predictions mark but it wouldn't surprise me if you didn't have a fine career I had a view in the Force intelligence well-educated work hard and you having those four please possess which makes it all the more surprising that you don't have an instinct for unworthy associations if I can put it like that they're talking about this crevice I am that's none of my business who you mix with in your off-duty hours but it is my concern miss Grover maybe a respectable young girl and it may be a pity to put it in the same category as her father but as far as a young officer and I understand look [Music] she was right he died a year ago last February no The Undertaker's remember Murtagh they remember the funeral no one there but an old man who is his neighbor and the girl used to do his typing our shop our suspect is in a grave in Stalin's Cemetery I shan't be needing that hard car tonight but it's highly inconvenient what I could have rented it someone else who oh no I'm specific as it happens quite how about later we shall be needing it again don't maybe jumper [Music] try to avoid me or something didn't know you're in start just looking after the shop here's a bus just to home with this video oh you're back your mom was just after wish drive she wants them things iron tonight what to be in bed dad yeah it's lucky I'm not just seeing the mess these books are in this is the end of me take things easy back to the grindstone for me I've got a car out tomorrow don't suppose that's been clean since I was laid up doctor laughs something to say about that why don't you go back to bed I'm here now what's up later lovely oh joy tonight taking it in the afternoon lighted last week take God's No [Music] [Music] tomorrow promise me you have tomorrow lock my dad gets mobile and comedies mark look after me mark [Music] [Music] now here's the when the door opens the lid of the bin opens - I'm still hungry starving take one in for Pat what he was doing about to David's tonight he was and he David's father came down unexpectedly from Bradford he lives there it's father who's gone friend Wendell's not David's father Doreen was married before what a most confusing if you ask me she fell out with a frying pan into the fire know what I can't believe her first husband was worse than this one oh he's all right I think you go wrong with your head stuck in a pile of sand he drinks no drink oh I mean he drinks you saw in the parents day I thought he was just nervous honestly Mike he steals money from from a handbag I mean she hides it under the mattress but he still finds it I mean she's desperate I'm not a great friend of hers or anything but she told me all about it Mike bit noisy and here I'm afraid but half as nice as this at home she was having a gig I don't think that's what they call it but I think I was justified according to what wouldn't wait good morning bloody cars out there like cars green cars blue cars he's out there somewhere just driving around I think I know who he is well I didn't suppose he'd drag me down here for the booze I think it's mrs. Anstey's husband Smith good god Mike we've been through all that before he's dead Smith is but dense tea isn't dinner ready no reason to suppose sir I think it could be unstable Jorma to tell you why it better be good nothing about the man she had to mention it yes didn't you think that was tops it was see who does she give the impression of being more fun the man who divorced her five years ago but the man she's married to no sheep regrets that divorce sir and she doesn't mind saying sell to a couple of strangers who doesn't even want to know it's nice to have been loved and remember it when it's gone now those the words of a happily married and then I was all mad about being alone a lot she's a teacher the married woman but the job wouldn't be alone a lot she'd have to be alone at all so you think that she and I share separate I do know we don't believe she lost the lighter if she didn't lose it but just left it lying around somewhere or in a handbag who's the most likely person to have it in his possession the errand Smith probably divorced her on the countenance team that means adultery not a man will committed once we're committed again there speaks the stern moralist but your point is but Anstey took up with Anita modulus and gave her the later exactly we've got the reason to presume that I'm still left his wife why does she say she's only got her salary to live on and it's perfectly true what she says about selling her jewelry remember I saw her an ugly Clark shot to detection sounds to Nathan round here somewhere just getting on with whatever job he does all right if you're so clever will you tell me why a man called Anstey gives the name of his wife's former husband we're going out on the tyres with another girl and not just Smith mine Jeff Smith why did you kill her what was his motive when we suspected Kirkpatrick we assumed that the motive was jealousy was carrying until they were back in the car I don't know mrs.

Hollis you might miss frightfully if I don't I don't feel very City down today perhaps it's being a ghost that does it perhaps well I think I know most of the stories really nice office isn't it no chief inspectors good offices like this all did you do it yourself no it's standard issue well as I was saying suppose I tell you what I think happened and then you can correct the moral crashing hammers fine you went to Italy or Spain perhaps Ibiza Positano I flew back yesterday Dickie Fairfax got through 1,500 quid of mine in a week well you may not think it to look at me but I'm very bourgeois at hurt labs all very well that it's abstract if you know what I mean money is concrete and when it's gone it's gone so I abandoned him and came home I'm afraid he may have to throw himself on the mercy of the console the perhaps tikkis name doesn't mean anything to you a wild conjecture makes me suppose that he's the young man who went to Karloff's and when he found you weren't there he sounded forth to find you chanting passages from Omar Khan Romeo you see I had every intention of going to the party but that bloody stupid car of mine broke down I hadn't a clue there was anything wrong with it until after half-past nine when I left for the party then I thought of ray I knew he'd fix it for me but you were going to do all the talking well I can only guess Anstey was out you drove your car to the party but he broke down before you got there the car conked out after about a hundred yards I went into a cottage and got some water and filled up the radiator and I managed to limp man back to the cottage roof what was in bed and he hates being disturbed so I left him a note telling him where I was going where did you leave the note I left it on a big piece of cartridge paper in front of some newspapers on the kitchen table I suppose it got lost it's right away the lights fused and he threw it away in the dark with some newspapers when he was looking for a match he had some idea that we should go and clean it all up for you we thought it was infra dig perhaps we should have been more humble but it would have saved a lot of trouble don't you ever send postcards miss Margolis oh do call me Anne everybody does as to postcards well I might have I was enjoying myself but with Dicky getting through simply millions of lira I never got around to it I'm thinking of dragging him off to Abbey for tomorrow he's very disturbed in any way I can't with my lovely new clothes here oh right it's all right I never liked it are you sure quite sure did you ever own this no it was raised and he left it in your car once after he'd serviced it that's right I gave it back to him the next day meanwhile you allowed Allan Kirkpatrick to think that it was yours Allan was always such a ball oh he's so jealous a natural sucker for a tease have you seen his car he asked me out in it what do you think I am I said an exhibit for the Lord Mayor's Show I do tease people I'm afraid you have teased us all miss Margolis I'm sorry you're very sweet you know that's enough of that goodbye miss my goal is goodbye reg gran you wanted to see me Sam yes so you're resigning I think it's the wisest thing to do look Drayton nobody supposes you made that girl any promises I know you better than that the whole thing well it smells and that's a fact the stench of corruption sir we have to leave young approach good god mark couldn't you top up when I told you to couldn't you put two and two together honey bye she gave Kirkpatrick and we thought he'd died at her she was just happy buying herself it was eight o'clock and she saw him not 9:30 she was on her way to Ruby's husband Anstey all he could Patrick didn't notice Grover told us that she got out on Tuesday afternoon to go shopping he said well that was when she took the washing in the afternoon not in the evening the evening she was leaving clear for her little visit to Ruby's hopeless Anstey began to guess and you said not a word and all the time and his body was lying in a gasps didn't natural curiosity make you want to know what her ex-boyfriend was like they'd had a lodger for four weeks a small dark lodger who went missing on the night of the murder shouldn't you have told us I didn't know you have to wonder no mark it's the first rule of the game you don't have to appear in court I go away if I were you go right away you'll forget it believe me you will what did she do and stay held a knife to the throat he relied on the girls fear and his own attraction to make her a quiescent up she was too frightened she got the knife away from him and stabbed him in alone was he dead when she got home I don't know I don't think she does all she knew was that one day her father would want the car announced he would be found before that happened she was hoping for a miracle you were gonna be that miracle you were gonna get rid of the body for her Paulie we got there too soon she had the car keys out ready for me only we got there first half an hour before I'd never done it you know not when the final crunch came I know you would never have done it what you're gonna do now occupy goodbye Martin good luck you broke your ornament [Music] you [Music]
