:28:00
He was poisoned.
:28:02
That's what killed him.
:28:04
The inspector
told Mrs. Croft.
:28:06
They don't know why the killer
stabbed him as well,
but he must've been dead already.
:28:10
That's why
there was no blood.
:28:13
Dead bodies don't bleed,
you know.
:28:15
Trust Sir William
to be murdered twice.
:28:20
Of course
he wasn't murdered.
:28:22
Not that sort of murder.
:28:25
Some ruffian broke in...
:28:27
thinking the library
was empty.
:28:29
Sir William surprised him
and paid the price for it.
:28:33
And very tragic it is too.
:28:35
I can't see that,
Mr. Jennings.
:28:37
I don't think ruffians
go about poisoning people
and then stabbing the corpses.
:28:41
Apart from
anything else,
:28:43
they're usually in a hurry
to get away, aren't they?
:28:45
What are you suggesting?
:28:47
- I'm not suggesting anything.
It's just--
- Just what?
:28:50
Well, it looks to me like Sir William
was killed deliberately, that's all.
:28:54
No wonder they're not
letting any of us go.
:28:57
Tough luck on whoever's
got any secrets to hide.
:29:04
Now they've cancelled
the shooting,
:29:06
muggins here has got to pull a luncheon
for God knows how many out of the hat.
:29:09
- Is Her Ladyship back yet?
- No.
:29:11
Then she'll have to take
what she gets.
:29:14
Why would anyone
want to kill Sir William?
:29:16
Well, he wasn't exactly
Father Christmas.
:29:19
Get on with your work.
:29:21
And take that filthy dog
out of here.
:29:24
He made a few enemies
in his time, that's all.
:29:27
What doy ou mean, enemies?
When?
:29:29
Is this before the war, Mrs. Croft,
when you were a factory worker?
:29:33
I was not a factory worker.
I was never a factory worker.
:29:37
I was a cook
in one of his factories.
:29:39
He had two in Isleworth and two
in Twickenham, and all full of girls.
:29:43
So you can imagine.
:29:45
Wasn't that risky with factory girls?
Suppose they complained?
:29:47
Who to, exactly?
:29:49
But what if they got,
you know, in trouble?
:29:52
- What sort of trouble?
- Here, take these.
Whites only, all right?
:29:56
Didn't happen
very often.
:29:58
When it did, he arranged
to have it adopted.
