No point in beating
about the bush, is there?
Yes, I was.
- What happened? A row?
- Sort of.
- Were you at the club last night?
- Yes.
- Well, what time did you leave?
- I don't know. Oh, about nine.
- Where'd you go?
- I came home.
- Peter...
- Yes?
- You forgot the washer.
- Thanks.
- What sort of school do you go to?
- Oakley Grammar.
Do they give you a Rupert Brooke
at grammar school?
I shouldn't have thought Molly Stevens was
the kind of a girl who appreciated poetry.
No, she didn't.
Excuse me, I'll go and wash.
Why did you and Molly Stevens
break up, Peter?
Someone else?
- Who said we'd broken up?
- Her landlady.
Who did she go around with
after she dropped you?
- She didn't drop me.
- You had a row, didn't you?
- Yes, but...
- Why don't you tell him, Peter?
- Please keep out of this.
- He's too decent to tell you.
Because he knew she was
running about with a married man.
- Who was he?
- Mark Roper.
I'm asking the boy!
Who's Mark Roper, Peter?
The way she carried on,
it's no surprise what happened.
Don't talk like that.
All she cared about was having
a good time, fast cars and boyfriends.
- Stop it!
- It's the truth, and you know it.
And the sooner you forget
about her, the better!
What time did he get in
last night, Mrs Crowley?
About a quarter to ten.
I see. Thank you.
That's him all right.
He's going in to change.
See you back at the station.
Right, driver.
Hey, what do you say?
- Thank you.
- That's better.
- Come on, hurry up.
- Coming!
Come along!
Hello! I haven't seen you around before.
Are you a member?
I'm a police officer, Mr Roper.
Really? Chuck me that towel,
will you, there's a good chap.
Thanks.
- Well, what can I do for you?
- A girl was murdered last night.
I should think it might have something
to do with that, wouldn't you?
Excuse me.
Well, have you found anything out yet?
You chaps are usually pretty sharp.
She was a member here, wasn't she?
That's right.
I understand you
knew her pretty well.
What do you mean,
you understand I knew her?
Pretty difficult not to,
considering I'm the club secretary.
Didn't you ever, er...
take her out?
Ooh, I'm a married man! You can't
play around in a town like this.
Mr Roper, I get the impression this is
what you might call a high-class club.
Yes, I suppose you could call it that.
Not the sort of place you'd
expect to find a Molly Stevens.
No, she didn't quite fit in.
I can imagine.
How'd she get in?
Well, I suppose I...
used my influence.
I thought it was about time the club
had a bit of glamour around.
buck teeth and bow legs, you know.
That's a Harrow tie, isn't it?
