Sir Edward Lake, Member of Parliament
from West Lytham...
1:30:04
died on Monday morning.
There will be a by-election.
1:30:07
This morning, a committee
of the West Lytham Liberal Association...
1:30:10
unanimously decided
to support your candidacy...
1:30:13
should you consent to stand
in the Liberal interest.
1:30:17
Did Sheldon tell you of my experience here
about 12 years ago?
1:30:23
Yes, Mr. Rainier.
1:30:26
I came back here at that time...
1:30:28
hoping to stumble on the trail of my past...
1:30:31
but I failed then...
1:30:34
and I've failed now.
1:30:37
- Nothing helped you?
- Nothing.
1:30:41
Why should I feel
a sense of loss so acute that...
1:30:45
That it's spoiling your life?
1:30:47
No, I'm not being honest with myself.
1:30:49
My life's not complete,
and I've hurt others.
1:30:54
I don't know why I bore you
with my affairs.
1:30:57
You feel that perhaps
you lived in Liverpool?
1:30:59
- It seems possible.
- But not certain.
1:31:02
You mean I might have been
visiting the city?
1:31:04
Well, Liverpool's a big port.
1:31:06
I might have come in on some ship.
Strange. That hadn't occurred to me.
1:31:10
Or by train.
1:31:12
You might have come in
from a nearby town...
1:31:15
or from the country.
1:31:18
- Perhaps on business.
- Perhaps.
1:31:21
In that case,
maybe you stayed at some hotel.
1:31:24
I know Liverpool. I've been up here often.
1:31:28
You know the direction you were
walking in when the accident happened?
1:31:31
Yes, I checked that.
1:31:32
I was walking down Mason Street
toward the square. It was wet.
1:31:36
Well, there are two hotels
north of Mason Street.
1:31:39
There's the old Olympic
and the Great Northern.
1:31:46
It's quite a distance from the Olympic.
1:31:48
So, if it was wet, the chances are,
you were coming from the Great Northern.
1:31:52
Presuming I stayed at a hotel at all,
under what name was I registered?
1:31:56
There's just one chance to find out.
1:31:58
If you were at a hotel, you walked out
leaving unclaimed luggage.
