:55:01
Poor Van Meer.
His death is a personal loss.
:55:04
Of all people, why Van Meer?
:55:06
You can't ask why with assassins.
There's no logic in killing.
:55:09
We can't spare such men
in a world like ours.
:55:12
Did you by any chance
meet him, Mr. Haverstock?
:55:15
- Not formally, but I saw him die.
- Horrible.
:55:19
As a matter of fact, I chased the man
that shot him, and almost caught him.
:55:23
Mr. Haverstock is a newspaperman.
:55:26
That'd be quite a coup...
:55:28
bringing in your first story
wrapped around an assassin.
:55:32
I think I shall have to be
getting along now, Mr. Fisher.
:55:36
Shall we write the peace petition now
or leave it for later?
:55:39
We may as well do it straightaway,
in the study. Excuse us.
:55:43
Father, could I speak to you for a moment?
It's terribly important.
:55:46
This won't take a moment.
:55:48
Meanwhile, see if you can interest
Mr. Haverstock in some eggs and bacon.
:55:51
Mr. Fisher. What's that man doing here?
:55:53
Why, it's Monsieur Krug.
:55:54
- Van Meer isn't dead.
- I just read...
:55:56
That was his double that was shot.
Van Meer was kidnapped. I talked to him.
:56:00
What has Monsieur Krug to do with it?
:56:02
Remember my description
of the man in the mill?
:56:04
You mean the sweater. Of course.
:56:06
That's impossible.
We've known Monsieur Krug...
:56:08
Krug brought Van Meer here last night.
He's in England. They're hiding him.
:56:12
- You're positive?
- Of course.
:56:13
I was as close to Krug as I am to you now.
:56:15
It'd be terrible if we made a mistake.
But we can't allow him to...
:56:18
Leave it to me.
:56:26
I don't want to be inhospitable,
but leave my house.
:56:29
Mr. Haverstock will suggest
that I turn you over to the police.
:56:32
Mr. Haverstock seems to be
something of a troublemaker.
:56:36
You said he'd been taken care of
by our agents in Amsterdam.
:56:39
I thought so, too. I don't understand it.
:56:42
Unless, perhaps,
Miss Fisher's being with him...
:56:45
may have caused complications.
:56:47
It would've been ideal
if she'd been in our confidences.
:56:49
- Please leave my daughter out of it.
- I beg your pardon.
:56:52
Most unfortunate, his coming here.
:56:54
I've never had to cope with this
sort of thing before, thanks to you, Krug.
:56:58
Someone has to take care
of the sordid details.
