- Bruno!
- Si. - Una tazza di latte.
- Bene. - Bruno.
- Si. - Con tarteccini.
- Va bene. Bruno. Con molto zucchero. - Beautiful day.
- Si, si. ...per fare amore alle
belle donne stasera. I bring a friend? Man".
Bruno. Sousa. Good morning, mrs Dawson. Signor bardoni. Aunt Lucy! Oh, I'm sorry.
Good morning. Would you like some
breakfast or something? Bless you. No, dear, I've had it in bed
because I wanted to finish your book. Tim, I do congratulate you.
It deserved its success. Thank you. I... I wasn't sure that it would be
up your street at all. I mean... That's because we're
still strangers, dear. My street's wider than you think. You don't, of course, identify
your former... associates. Has it ever occurred to you
to try and help them? Well, aunt Lucy,
it's been less than two years. I... I can't really be sure of myself
unless I don't get re-involved. So I don't have any friends -
except new ones. You're the newest. You saved yourself, of course. Well, with the help of a psychiatrist,
a doctor and a... What, two of the beefiest male nurses
in the business. - Poor Tim.
- No, not poor Tim at all. I've made a lot of money out of the book
and I've made a new friend. I'm feeling very rich. Rich enough to help those like you? The ones who are starting afresh? Later, perhaps. Then would you trust me enough
to help them for you? I mean, if I were to help them,
there'd be no temptation. I'd only be involved, not re-involved. You're a very good, very kind person. Perhaps I should be writing
a book about you? I must go to mass. Are we, er... are we still
going to have lunch in Pompeii? Of course, there's such a lot
i want you to see. Okay. See you then. Take care. This is the macellum. ...which is a marketplace. Where they sold flesh... - Does he mean meat, miss bristow?
- Let's hope so, Georgina. Meat and fish. - When vesuvio exploded in...?
-79 ad. Yeah, exploded in 79 ad. The piscina, which is a small little pool,
has been full of lava. During the excavations, we cleaned the piscina,
and we find in the lava, fishbones. Yeah! Although the shops are very small, the portico, which once go
all around the macellum, is been made of best
white marble from carrara. Very big and impressioning.
Like sex on fifth Avenue. Ah, he means
saks fifth Avenue, Georgina, which is like harrods,
only in New York. It you like to try a look over here. You can see all the original shops. Dov' va?
Dov' va? Fermatelo! La conosce? - La conosce?
- Si. Portare via cadavere.
Via, via tutti! Via! - Che cos' successo?
- Hanno strangolata. - Eh'?
- L'hanno strangolata. Venga con me.
Devi fare una dichiarazione. - Un memento.
- No! Venga con me! Venga con me, per cortesia.
C' una Donna che ha assistito. Via! Via tutti! Via! Via! Invia queste persone.
Avete finito tutto. Via! What's the matter with her? She's found her.
La signora. Vieni qui, per piacere. - - Absolve, quaesumus, domine, animam ut defunctus saeculo tibi vivat et quae per fragilitatem carnis
humana conversatione commisit tu venia misericordissimae
pietatis absterge per dominis nostrum. Amen. I must thank you for making all
these arrangements, signor bardoni. - If you're out of pocket at all...
- The hotel bill was paid in advance. Your aunt always paid in advance. What about her belongings, then? They will be forwarded to her secretary,
mrs gray, who is also her executor. I cabled for instructions to your
aunt's hotel at burlington-on-sea. Burlington-on-sea...
The esplanade, yes? The esplanade, mr Brett.
Mrs gray lives there, too. I hope you don't think
i was taking a Liberty, but I've known your aunt
for nearly thirty years. She was a remarkable woman. Yes, I was beginning
to think so myself. In fact, almost the last thing
i said to her was, er... "Let me write a book about you." It'd make a wholesome change
from my last. A criminal kills a charitable old lady
who spent her life helping criminals. It's ironical, isn't it? It's a matter for the police. Well, the one who took my statement I think asked me three questions,
and yawned in my face. Come back to the hotel, mr Brett. No, I think I'll stay here
for a bit, thank you. Mr Brett? What are you doing now? -L'm thinking, love.
- Well, you're ruining your watch. Oh. Damn the Italian police! A whole bloody week
and they got nowhere. You see, if she'd been robbed,
i could understand it. But there is just no reason.
There is no reason. That's a very pretty mat
you're making. It's for a church sale. Yes, she told me she was
very interested in charities. We were both interested
in helping the fallen. Tell me, did she ever mention
or did she ever know a group, or a society called
the stepping stones? I've seen the rolling stones
on television, of course. They don't seem to need helping. But stepping stones, no.
I don't recollect it. Well, they sent flowers
to her funeral. Really? The only other flowers,
apart from signor bardoni's and mine. There was also a card,
which said, er... "Ln memories of happier times". Mrs Dawson's happiest times were always spent in
the exercise of good works. Well, she should have
reaped a better reward. We must, in charity,
assume that her assassin didn't know what sort
of woman he was killing. I'm not so sure. I beg your pardon? When I made my statement
to the Italian police, they asked me a question. And what was that, mr Brett? Well, they found this map
of Pompeii in her handbag. It was folded between the
pages of her prayer book. Her missal. Her missal. On it there was a cross,
very very lightly pencilled in on exactly the spot
where she was killed. Now I had already planned to meet her
elsewhere in a restaurant, so she obviously knew
where she was going, and she certainly did not go to mass. Did you tell signor bardoni? No. Should I have? Mrs gray? Oh. Yes? It's the major
calling you from London. Oh. Forgive me, mr Brett. I'm sorry if your journey's
proved pointless. Ls there anything else
i can do for you, mr Brett? - You're miss...?
- Ward-cadbury. Well, are there any other friends
of my aunt's in the hotel that it would be right for me to meet? Well, she was fond of miss dacey. Well, can I see her? Oh, I'm afraid she's still
having her nap. Well, when does she wake up? She usually has her tea
in the television room, if you don't mind waiting. No, gladly. Thank you. You waiting for someone? Miss dacey, yes. She won't be here till the western. I'm, er, Lucy Dawson's nephew.
That's why I'm here. Ah, poor soul.
At least she was quick. Quicker than arthritis. Why the dickens do you
want to see miss dacey? Well, miss ward-cadbury told me that
they were very close friends. They were about as close
as London and Hong Kong. Oh, they acknowledged each other's
existence quite affably, of course, but they had nothing in common. Have you seen mrs gray? Yes. Ah, now she was a friend. Looked after Lucy Dawson like a
civil servant looks after his minister. Were you friends with mrs Dawson? Of course I was. She was a damn nice woman. The only lively body
