:20:07
Not the slightest clue.
:20:10
I didn't expect there would be.
:20:16
That's where the clues are.
He wasn't leaving anything to chance.
:20:19
Griffin was never the man for secrets.
He came to me with everything.
:20:24
He kept a lot of stuff locked in here.
:20:27
I came in one evening
when he wasn't expecting me.
:20:29
He was by this cupboard.
It was full of instruments.
:20:32
When he saw me, he slammed the door
and turned the key.
:20:39
You say he brought
a packing case up here?
:20:42
The night before he disappeared. I heard
him hammering, packing everything up.
:20:50
- Here's something, Kemp.
- What is it?
:20:52
- Bad news?
- It's only a rough note.
:20:55
A list of chemicals,
and the last on the list is monocane.
:21:00
Monocane? What is monocane?
:21:03
- Monocane's a terrible drug.
- I never heard of it.
:21:06
You wouldn't, Kemp. It's never used now.
I didn't know it was even made.
:21:10
It's a drug that's made from
a flower that's grown in India.
:21:13
It draws colour
from everything it touches.
:21:16
Years ago they tried it for bleaching cloth.
:21:19
They gave it up because
it destroyed the material.
:21:22
- That doesn't sound very terrible.
- I know, but it does something else.
:21:26
It was tried out on some poor animal -
a dog, I believe.
:21:29
It was injected under the skin,
:21:31
and it turned the dog dead white,
like a marble statue.
:21:35
- Is that so?
- Yes, and it also sent it raving mad.
:21:39
You surely don't think...?
:21:40
I only pray to God that Griffin hasn't
been meddling with this ghastly stuff.
:21:44
- He'd never touch a thing with madness.
- He might not know.
:21:47
I found that experiment
in an old German book just by chance.
:21:50
The English books only describe
the bleaching power.
:21:55
- What are we going to do?
- Tell the police that Griffin's disappeared.
