Charlie Chan in London Page #5

Synopsis: After receiving congratulations from the Home Secretary for solving his most recent case, Charlie is sought out by Pamela Gray, a beautiful but desperate young socialite whose brother Paul awaits execution for the murder of a weapons inventor. She is so convinced of his innocence that she becomes distraught when she overhears Neil Howard, her brother's lawyer and her fiancee, confide to the detective his belief in his client's guilt. Angered at this disclosure, she returns his ring and breaks off the engagement. Although the execution will take place in 65 hours, Charlie pledges to expose the murderer. All potential suspects are reassembled in the country mansion of family friend Geoffrey Richmond, where the murder took place, as Charlie tries to expose the real murderer before time runs out.

Continue, please.

Through the door

I heard Hamilton say...

"Remember what

I've told you. "

And then Gray shouted something.

And then I heard those windows...

opening and slamming shut.

Opening and slamming shut.

- Yes. You enter?

- No.

Obviously one of them

had left the room and I-

I decided to mind

my own business.

Admirable British quality.

And, uh, next event,

please?

Two hours later Garton and Jardine

went over to the stables...

and found Hamilton's body.

As they were walking over, Garton noticed

Gray coming back towards the house.

I wonder where

the deuce Garton is.

Why were you going to stable

so late at night?

One of Garton's horses

was sick.

We were going to have a last look

at it before going to bed.

I understand.

Then nobody see Hamilton alive

after bang of window?

No.

I haven't been able

to find Mr. Garton, sir...

but I'll continue

to look for him.

Thank you so much.

There is something

which belongs here.

Is it twin of this?

Yes.

And murderer

use missing knife?

It was lying by the body.

The police have it now.

I see.

There were fingerprints?

No. It was maintained

that Gray wore gloves.

Strange that crime of passion

should be committed with gloved hand.

Yes, but the prosecution held that

this was a premeditated crime...

- and unfortunately a pair of

gloves were found- - Wait, please.

If Mr. Gray not murderer...

must forget all evidence

at trial.

No time to expose lies.

Must expose truth.

Now, please,

would much like...

everybody to go with me

to stables.

Stables? What for?

Crime to be reconstructed.

Method of French police.

Sometime very good.

Garton was over there when he saw Gray

disappear behind that hedge.

And, uh, where was

body found?

In the stables

near the end box.

I see. Please,

in absence of Mr. Garton...

you and Mr. Jardine help

proceed with reconstruction.

Certainly. Jardine.

Let us proceed. Uh-

Humbly suggest you be Hamilton,

you be murderer.

It seems like a lot

of childish nonsense to me.

Look here, Richmond,

do we really have to do this?

Mr. Chan is

in charge, Jardine.

Maybe I not clear.

Crime to be-

- Yes, I understand, I understand.

- Thank you so much.

Here, here!

What's all this?

It's all right, Lake.

You can go back to bed.

Very well, sir.

Beg pardon, sir.

- Who?

- That's Lake, my stud groom.

Regret do not understand

English, only American.

Well, he's my chief groom-

my head lad- boss horseman.

Oh, I catch.

- And now.

- What the deuce!

Only knife from study.

You are murderer.

You are Hamilton.

Kindly go into stable.

Right.

Please take.

Look here,

this is outrageous!

Take knife, please.

Now, you go in.
