:14:03
Only of the identity, Inspector.
:14:07
The game.
:14:09
Shall we go ?
:14:13
- Shall we go ?
- Oh, yes, sir.
:14:16
Coming.
:14:22
Anyway, I thought I'd teach
young master Tindle...
:14:26
a lesson for his presumption,
test his mettle, as it were.
:14:29
You may not agree with this,
Inspector, but take it from me:
:14:32
the shortest way to a man's heart
is through humiliation.
:14:34
You'll soon find out what he's made of.
:14:36
Oh. And, uh, how did you plan to
go about this humiliation, sir ?
:14:41
To begin with, by convincing him...
:14:43
that as my wife had expensive tastes,
and he was virtually a pauper,
:14:47
and he could solve that problem by
stealing some valuable jewelry,
:14:51
which I had in my safe.
:14:57
I further persuaded him to take off
his clothes and wear a disguise.
:15:02
Appropriately enough, he chose, out of that
basket you examined, the costume of a clown.
:15:06
In that ludicrous outfit, he broke
into the house and blew open my safe.
:15:12
The jewels were in this box.
:15:19
Good thinking, Inspector.
:15:27
Bravo.
:15:29
- And where are they now, sir ?
- I put them in the bank yesterday.
:15:32
- On a saturday ?
- Yes, Inspector, on a saturday.
:15:34
I drove over to Salisbury and
put them in the night safe.
:15:37
How very provident, sir.
:15:39
May I ask what you did after
he blew the safe open, sir ?
:15:43
Tindle pocketed the jewels, we
struggled convincingly around
the house as part of the game.
:15:47
He was about to make off when I turned nasty
and revealed the true purpose of the evening.
:15:52
This was, of course, that I had
maneuvered him into a position...
:15:55
where, by pretending to mistake him for a
burglar, I could legitimately shoot him.
