1:11:05
I think in view of all
the trouble you've caused...
1:11:10
it's about time I told you
the whole story.
1:11:12
No, not now.
Tell me tomorrow.
1:11:16
I want to tell you now.
1:11:22
Um...
1:11:24
well, it's...
1:11:25
have you ever heard of
the Countess of Fleet?
1:11:29
Yes.
1:11:31
Wasn't she the woman...
1:11:33
who lost those fabulous
jewels in a robbery?
1:11:36
Some man
who worked in the bank...
1:11:38
was accused...
he was accused...
1:11:39
Yes, that was me.
1:11:42
Mark, did you steal...
1:11:43
No, of course I didn't.
1:11:45
Who did?
1:11:46
Stratos, I think.
1:11:48
How... how on earth
did you get mixed up in that?
1:11:51
Oh, it's all so...
1:11:55
the Countess kept all
her jewels at the bank...
1:11:57
where I occupied...
1:11:58
what is known as
a position of trust.
1:12:01
Sometimes, she'd ask me
to bring them to her...
1:12:03
when she wanted
to wear them.
1:12:04
Well, on this
particular occasion...
1:12:06
instead of waiting
for the guard...
1:12:09
you know,
the security man...
1:12:11
Mm-hmm.
1:12:12
I took the jewels
from the safe...
1:12:14
and jumped into a taxi...
1:12:16
and took them straight
around to Fleet House.
1:12:19
What happened?
1:12:20
Well, one moment...
1:12:21
I was standing on the doorstep
with the jewels...
1:12:24
the next moment,
I came to without the jewels...
1:12:26
and a lump the size
of a golf ball...
1:12:28
on the back of my head.
1:12:29
Stratos?
1:12:31
I never got a chance
to see his face.
1:12:33
I was hit from behind.
1:12:35
Oh, I see.
1:12:39
How awful.
1:12:41
Oh, how awful.
1:12:51
But why didn't you take
the guard with you?
1:12:53
I was in a rush
that night.
1:12:55
Why?
1:12:57
Oh, it's...
1:12:59
oh, the most idiotic
of all reasons.
