:04:06
Ah. Good evening, sir.
:04:08
I was beginning to think
there was no one at home.
:04:10
Indeed ? And who might you be ?
:04:12
Detective Inspector Doppler, sir,
:04:15
of the Wiltshire County Constabulary.
:04:18
I'm sorry to be calling so late,
:04:20
but I need to have a few words with you...
:04:23
on a very important matter.
- Well, you better come in.
:04:26
Wiltshire County Constabulary, you say ?
:04:28
That's right, sir.
I'm normally based at Salisbury,
:04:31
but, uh, your local man here asked me
to pop over and give him a hand.
:04:37
Those were the days, sir.
Tunes you could hum.
:04:39
It was a time for humming, Inspector.
Would you care for an aquavit ?
:04:43
- No, thank you, sir. I've had my supper.
- Oh.
:04:45
Perhaps you'd prefer a brandy ? Or are you
gonna tell me you never drink on duty ?
:04:48
Oh, no, sir. I always drink on duty.
:04:50
I can't afford to in my own time.
:04:54
- Caviar. So that's what that looks like.
- Yeah.
:04:58
I've often wondered.
:05:08
I can't say I care for it all that much, sir.
:05:13
Tastes like fish eggs.
:05:15
Fancy. Now, let me take that nasty
taste away with a splendid brandy.
:05:21
Do follow me, won't you, Inspector ?
:05:30
These old antiques, sir--
:05:32
very interesting, sir.
:05:35
You have, uh, quite a collection of toys.
:05:39
Automata, Inspector, and they all work.
:05:43
I wouldn't have thought there's much
point in having 'em if they didn't, sir.
:05:47
And now, as the cliche has it,
:05:49
what can I do for you, Inspector ?
:05:51
I am investigating the disappearance...
:05:54
of a Mr. Milo Tindle.
:05:57
Do you know him, sir ?
:05:59
Vaguely.
