1:08:08
Now!
1:08:11
So what? My wife has one.
1:08:13
Presumably
she doesn't cook candle wax.
1:08:15
No, she doesn't.
1:08:17
There is a little
at the bottom of that saucepan.
1:08:20
This is what happened.
1:08:22
The murderer set the dials
1:08:24
so that the gas
came on at 12:55 precisely
1:08:27
under this saucepan that
contained a small wax cup of acid
1:08:31
and a pellet of sodium cyanide.
1:08:34
The wax melted,
the acid flowed over the pellet.
1:08:37
Result: A sudden release
of cyanide gas. Lethal.
1:08:42
I see.
1:08:43
At one o'clock precisely,
the gas turned itself off...
1:08:50
...now!
1:08:52
Leaving nothing
but an innocent saucepan on the hob.
1:08:57
Yes. That means whoever we're looking
for must have specialist knowledge.
1:09:01
Oh, no.
1:09:03
Exactly the same murder method
is employed in our play on Monday -
1:09:07
Out Of The Stewpot.
1:09:09
Any one of the company
could have done it.
1:09:12
The way things are now I am tempted
to arrest the whole lot of them.
1:09:16
- Really?
- Yes, really.
1:09:17
What you 've found out, what we've
found out... look at what we've got.
1:09:22
Cosgood.
1:09:23
He told you he'd only
just written Remember September
1:09:26
and yet we know
it was produced in 1951.
1:09:28
Victim one,
Mrs McGinty was in it.
1:09:31
This fellow Summers,
we know he took Mrs McGinty out
1:09:34
when the company was in Milchester,
the week she was murdered.
1:09:38
His wife, Maureen, knew
about this and she didn't like it.
1:09:42
Then there's this spooky girl, Eva.
1:09:44
She was having a romance with victim
number two, George Rowton,
1:09:48
and he tossed her aside like a...
1:09:49
- Worn-out glove, sir?
- Yes.
1:09:52
Then there's young Arthur -
that note was typed on his typewriter
1:09:56
and as a result, victim number three.
