03x08 - The Man Who Liked Toys

[bunniefuu]

The director of one of the largest

novelty manufacturing companies
of the world once told me

that the most solid test
of a new toy

was whether it would attract the
middle-aged businessman.

It is so true that it has almost
ceased to be a joke.

The father played with his son's
his son's birthday present for so long

that the boy had to go and
smoke his father's pipe.

What am I doing here?

No, I have not reached my
second childhood, I have a date.

Half an hour ago.

Hi Claire, sorry I'm late.

He is behind us.

Which one?

The older man who plays
with the cars is Mr. Enstone.

And the other one?

This is George Fowler,
he runs the London office.

But Enstone is the one you think
who is being blackmailed?

I know he is being blackmailed,
that's why I called you.

Well, surely the next step
step would be to introduce ourselves?

Yes, but be casual.

Don't let it be known that I asked
for you to come here.

- We can talk later.
- Oh, where?

The Enstones are going to the theater tonight,

could you come to the
hotel around nine o'clock?

You have a date.

I b*at you by laps.

Congratulations.

George, I want one of those,
look for an assistant.

Yes, Lewis.

- What is it?
- Nothing.

You think that's childish, don't you?

Frankly, yes, but it's not my money,
so it's none of my business.

Great. Buy one and take it to the car.

And for your information,
this is for my son.

Who is years old and about to start
to start her public school.

Don't you think he's a little old
a little old for toys?

No, he is not too old
for toys, and neither am I.

These are simple things, George,

But they hold the key to relaxation.

Now go and do as I say.

- Mr. Enstone?
- Hello, Claire.

I'm going to be late for
dinner and I'm a fool,

but this is fascinating.

Do you want to run with me?

First, I would like you to meet
an old friend.

I would be delighted.

Simon, this is Mr. Lewis Enstone,
my boss

Mr. Enstone.

Mr. Enstone, this is the first
man who has turned my head.

The famous Simon Templar.

THE HOLY

S E - The Man Who Liked Toys

Subtitles by Susanawho

Does he buy all these
things for his son?

Bobby is at school in Switzerland,

It's his birthday next week.

Lucky Bobby.

- What's out there?
- Let me show you.

The Enstone Group's offices
are in the north,

So whenever he comes to London,
he takes a three-bedroom suite

and the hotel provides two tables.

It would be cheaper if he opened a
permanent office in London.

You could be in charge
and be around all the time.

It would be much more cozy for me.

What time did you say
that they would be back from the theater?

Would you like to get serious once?

All right, I'm serious.

Where is the evidence that
he is being blackmailed?

Cash, pounds.

So what?

He went to the bank today,

He drew pounds in one-pound notes.

He has done this every
Wednesday for seven weeks.

Maybe he is betting on horse?

He is not the type to play.

Does he have an expensive girlfriend?

- So expensive?
- Maybe not.

- What is his wife like?
- Charming.

- Younger, of course?
- Much younger.

- How do they get along?
- Well, as far as I know.

Simon, what really worries me

is that every Thursday he
puts the money in a suitcase

and refuses to tell me
where he is going.

And tomorrow is Thursday.

And I asked for the day off.

What does it mean that
you want us to follow you?

Right.

Claire, why don't you let me ask
directly if he is in trouble?

Because he is the kind of man

that he does not tolerate people
meddling in his business.

I don't want to make a fool of myself.

Simon, will you help me?
Please!

I like him very much.

He has been very good to me.

Before I say anything to him,

let's follow him tomorrow
and see what happens.

It's okay. What time is
is this little safari?

Usually right after lunch.

Well, we take Fido along with us.

Ah, now we wait.

I'm afraid so.

Fifteen to one, let's hope
that he has an early lunch.

This afternoon I will go shopping and
in the evening I will have dinner with Mary.

Why?

Because A,
you have a business dinner.

B, Mary is my sister and
C, I like her.

I don't understand the attraction.

There are many things that you don't understand.

Not for the lack of trying.

Oh, stop it, Lewis.

You couldn't care less
less about what I do.

Every time we come to London,

instead of walking around and seeing the shows,

you spend all your time with an
grumpy old maid. Why?

Let's say it's a
relief from the current company?

- Good morning, Lewis.
- You're late.

Have you seen the Times this morning?

Don't jump to conclusions.

Costello and Hammel are finished.

- Are they?
- They certainly are.

- Have you had your coffee yet?
- No, not really.

Look, they are not finished,
according to this.

Send coffee for two, please.

I suppose you are going to
tell me not to believe

- in everything I read in the newspapers?
- Yes.

They are ripe for harvest.

Excuse me, I want to talk to my wife.
to my wife.

Marjorie, just...

I'll be back late, don't wait up.

Marjorie, I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have said that
about Mary, I apologize.

Accepted.

Marjorie, what's the matter with us?

Why do we fight like this?

Ask yourself the question.

- Honey, listen, why...
- Oh, for God's sake, Lewis,

don't start groping me
here in the hotel corridor.

Or anywhere else.

"Don't touch me!" "Stay away from me!"

Month after month.

How long do you expect me to hold out?

If you don't like it,
you know exactly what you can do.

I'm too old for you, is that it?

If you really want to know, yes.

What time does your dinner finish?

- : pm.
- Then I'll be back at pm.

We can't keep paying
money week after week

and not wait for Hammel
or Costello to find out.

- They are not so silly.
- They are very close.

We tried every move and they
didn't move an inch.

In three weeks, they should
deliver the first batch of equipment

for the government and they don't
have the slightest chance.

Hammel is coming here for dinner tonight

and if he accepts my offer, it's over.

If he doesn't, keep
feeding Duggan with money.

You know what your problem is, George,

is that you want to make money
money and maintain your integrity.

This cannot be done.

Not by their methods.

If there is something wrong with my
my methods, you can leave.

- Let's not fight about this, Lewis.
- I'm not fighting, I'm telling you.

I run the Enstone Group, not you.

You are just a helper.

I pay £ , to do your job

and if you think it is too dirty, get out.

After you.

Now let me get this straight.

Costello and Hammel is a
small but respected company.

The government thinks so because
it gave you a big request

for electronic components
components.

Now they can't meet the deadline

- because your key men are on strike.
- Right.

And the Enstone Group now
wants to take over, is that it?

Mr. Enstone calls this a fusion.

Ah, mention the devil and he appears.

With pounds in the case.

Now, fellows,

don't let Hammel and Costello
make them work overtime

with vague promises
of long-term production.

We have stopped as a matter of principle
principle and will continue to stand still

until the principle is
accepted by management.

Principle!

Duggan doesn't know what
the word means.

They will have to pay double time.

Now, fellows,

let's put it to a vote.

Resolve to continue strike action

until our demands are met in full.
are met in full. All in favor?

Well?

Approved by a substantial majority,
we will stay out.

An unofficial strike by a handful of
handful of artisans and bang,

our whole business goes up in smoke.
goes up in smoke.

If we start working
again now

In three eight-hour shifts,
we could meet the government's deadline.

What if they stop for another week?

We will be dead.

At least we can have a
pleasant funeral.

Enstone will be here in a minute.

Do you want me to celebrate?

I want you to be polite.

Where will you be?

In my project room,
where I belong.

Why would a man make a weekly visit

for his future partners
with pounds in his briefcase?

Not this time.

You are right.

He left his briefcase in the car.

Oh, how Enstone is safe in the factory,

I think we will follow the money.

Well, sir, you were unlucky, that's all.

He had work problems.

Now, suppose the same
thing happened to me,

would you leave me out?

All right, Lewis.

What do you want me to do?

First I want to look around the factory.

Fowler will pick me up in an hour.

Then,

I want you to take a look at this,
John, very carefully.

When you come to talk to me,
give me your answer.

Will you sell everything now or
wait for disaster?

I had a majority vote today,
but that's it.

I can't go on after
next week.

You won't need it.

Hammel will sign
the acquisition tonight.

Yes, I think it is better for him.

What you think doesn't matter.

You are just a collaborator.

I love you too.

- Hey, go away!
- Ah, here comes the man.

Come on, Robbie, run fast.

You big-headed old man!

And what is your part, rocker?

- Who are you?
- And what are you being used for?

Get out quickly, sir.

Sorry, I am a professional
professional.

Oh, yes, get out quickly before
I put this on you.

Try it.

You made a mistake.

... report this accident

Come on, on your feet.

On your feet!

- Claire, get another bucket of water, will you?
- All right, that's enough.

Well, now beautiful asleep,
while you rested,

I finished the payment package for you.

I think there is pounds too much,

which, of course, goes to my favorite
favorite charity.

You've had it for seven weeks now, haven't you?

Claire, I'm sorry about that,

I was working for Enstone,
but now I'm with the opposition.

If I had known that this is what
Enstone was doing,

I would have left him weeks ago.

Oh, living and learning.

Where do you pay?

Get out.

Want to dance a little more?

All right. In the "Red Lion" pub
in front of the factory.

All right, let's drive.

You are in no condition to walk.

It is a pity that Costello is so hostile.

He fears that when you take over,
he will be out of a job.

I admire your foresight.

Sorry for holding you for so long.

Don't apologize.
You are the boss.

Not yet.

See you later at my hotel.

- In about an hour.
- Great.

Well, it's all over.

Congratulations.

How was it with Duggan?

He said that men want to come back.

He cannot continue the
strike after next week.

They won't need it.

Hammel will sign the acquisition
acquisition agreement tonight.

We will have a celebratory dinner.
Why don't you join us?

I may be forced to help put
a noose around a man's neck,

but I don't think that hanging
is an occasion for celebration.

Where do you want to go?

If it's not out of your way
way, to my apartment.

So he is finally gone?

Yes.

Would you like to join us for dinner?

Before I sat down to dinner with Enstone
with Enstone, I would starve to death.

Stupid and greedy little man
who plays with toys.

John, are you really going to let him get away with this?

What else do you suggest?

What did we talk about, remember?

No.

Why not?

I couldn't.

It could and is foolproof.

I know we talked about it,
but for the last time, no!

George, grow up, will you?

This is business, a big business.

Enstone's shares will jump shillings
when this acquisition is announced.

I'll go in order.

George, you have a good
head on your shoulders.

You will make a lot of money one day.

After learning the main rule.

What is it?

When you see something you want, regardless of
who it belongs to, take it.

Don't worry about
scruples or integrity, just take it.

All right, Lewis.

In the future, I will do just that.

Thank you, dear.

- How was it?
- He won.

- As always.
- Yes.

Costello and Hammel are on their knees.

Like us.

I wouldn't say that.

I would say.

Honey, please, I've had a hard day.
Let's not start over.

When will it be convenient
to discuss our future?

Maybe I'll put it on the agenda?

Stop it, will you?

Like... tomorrow. When
you don't have such a hard day?

Are you deliberately
trying to provoke a fight?

No.

Just tired of going in the back
that's all.

Don't you think I am?

I think it suits you very well.

You always resent the
truth, don't you?

Lewis mentioned this.

Well, my faults are a list,
I admit.

Oh, George, I'm sorry, but...

what will happen to us?

Honey, nothing is going to happen to us.

To our exciting future.

- You know I didn't mean that.
- Frankly, I didn't.

Lewis and I had a fight today.

I was pretty brutal.

I have a hunch that he
suspects something.

You mean from us?

- I haven't seen anyone else.
- But he didn't...

- I mean, he didn't say that I...
- No, George, your job is perfectly safe.

, a year in employment does not
grow on trees, you know.

So you have said many times.

- I wanted just once.
- What?

Oh, that you would punch someone
in the jaw for me, or

sh*t Lewis and threw him
out the hotel window.

Oh, that's a sensible suggestion.

Who do you think I am? A
knight fighting for his beautiful lady?

No.

I think you are many things,
but that's not it.

The strange thing is that I am
so in love with you.

Where are you going?

Take a walk, get some fresh air
fresh air and return to the hotel.

But I thought...

Yes, I know exactly what you thought,
George, you were wrong.

See the problem with this
fund business

is that the traffic goes one way.

Thank you.

- Health.
- Good luck.

Lewis.

What about Costello?

- Can you find a place for it?
- I doubt it.

He is one of my oldest friends.

I'm sorry, John, that's business.

There is no room for feelings.

Sorry.

- Hello?
- Mr. Enstone?

This is Bishop.

I have my report ready for you.

When did she leave?

All right now fellows.

- May I have your attention, please?
- All right, guys, be quiet now.

I am very happy for the day.

I had a very constructive conversation
with Mr. Costello and Mr. Hammel.

And they agreed to our
our most important demand.

And that's double pay if the
factory runs hours a day.

Of course, there are one or two
details to be worked out,

but I feel that negotiations
will proceed in a spirit of mutual

cooperation?

Cooperation and fraternity.

So I put it to a vote,

I ask for a motion to proceed to
work tomorrow morning, first shift.

- Do I have that motion?
- I second it.

I endorse.

- All in favor?
- Yes.

Motion passed.

All right now who is going to
invite me for a drink?

Okay, Terry, I'll give you one.

Not a bad start.
So far, so good.

Now what?

Now?

We straighten Enstone.

It's childish, I know, but I have
a taste for these things.

- No, thank you.
- I'll take it.

Yes, sir.

- Anything else, Mr. Enstone?
- That's all, thank you.

- Good evening, sir.
- Good evening.

I won't be long, Lewis.

Take your time.

You know,

I'm feeling a
a little bit excited.

Why not?

You have every reason to celebrate.

Don't be bitter about it.

Things could have been worse.

Remind me to talk about a friend...

Excuse me, John, will you?
I think it's Marjorie.

Yes, yes, of course.

You're back early, dear.
It's only pm.

Mary was not feeling
very well. She went to bed early.

What a pity, when you enjoy
so much for her company.

Why don't I call her and
give her some medical advice?

Pardon?

You understand English, don't you?

I want to call Mary,
what is her number?

She is already sleeping.

She won't mind if
her dear brother-in-law wakes her up.

Don't be silly, Lewis. I told you
told you that she has already gone to bed.

And how would you know this?

Are you drunk?

No, but I'm watching you, dear.

What do you mean?

You are a dirty liar,
backstabbing whore!

- Lewis!
- You were with Fowler.

- No!
- Admit it!

You have been in Fowler's
apartment all afternoon, admit it.

All right, yes, yes I have!

Mr. Fowler Integrity Scout.

My personal assistant and my wife.

I bet you had a thousand
of laughs, didn't you?

Poor unsuspecting Lewis
with his toys.

- If you want to talk about it...
- I don't want to talk about it!

I have nothing to say!

You want him, you can have him,
it is all yours.

As of now he is
unemployed and you are out.

You won't mind that,
aren't you, dear?

You can live on love!

Lewis, listen...

That is all you will have to live for

because I will make sure that
no company in London

want the unpleasant Mr. Fowler around.

No credit accounts, cars or furs,

you will leave here with what is in this
room and what is behind your back.

- That suits me just fine.
- Good, then we are in agreement.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a
business meeting in progress.

To earn a little of that money
that you don't seem to care about.

- Lewis?
- What?

- Are you going to give me a divorce?
- You're kidding.

Lewis, please!

Marjorie,

would not give you a
glass of water in the desert.

But that is so vindictive, it is so unfair.

Now I'm unfair, aren't I?

Oh, you are many things.

You are boring, dull,
fat and stupid!

But above all, you are old!

Mr. Fowler will look
quite old at the time

that makes you an
honest woman, dear.

Because you will not be free to marry him
marry him until I am dead.

- I guess you heard that.
- I couldn't help it.

- Well, forget it.
- Sure.

- It has been going on for a long time.
- I'm sorry.

I don't.

I couldn't care less
less, frankly.

Well, are you done?

Yes, everything seems in order.

Thank you.

Well, Costello and Hammel Limited
are all yours.

And on that basis, I propose
that we stay extremely close together.

I thought I would.

In fact, I think I will join you.

Great.

George, I just had a terrible
terrible fight with Lewis.

He knows everything. He is
like a wild man.

He ranted and raved and threatened us.

Divorce is out of the question,
he won't listen.

Did he say that?

Oh, my God!

- All right, I'll go right now.
- I'll meet you at the bar.

Wait here, my little talk
with Enstone shouldn't take long.

What will you tell him?

What is more important
is what he will tell me?

Simon? Check it out!

Get me Scotland Yard, will you?

Inspector Teal, please.

I was in and out all the time,
sir, until I finally took my dinner.

And no one entered the suite during the
the night, besides Mrs. Enstone?

No, sir, just Mr. Hammel.

- Did you see Hammel leave?
- Yes, and Claire too.

And was Enstone with him?

Very lively at the entrance
front of the hotel.

Did you notice anything unusual at dinner?

- No, Inspector, nothing.
- No unpleasant words?

Not while I was in the room, no.

- All right, you can go.
- Thank you, sir.

Claude, when I found him,

The door was locked,
so I went into the office.

E?

Someone may have heard me coming and

entered the room and then
went out into the hallway.

Thank you, Simon, that possibility
did not escape me.

No doubt you think
I'm a little old-fashioned.

Why? I wouldn't go that far.

Therefore, I must continue
investigating the obvious conclusion first.

Which is su1c1de.

Claire, do you have any
any idea what was in that box?

No, but I can find out.

Miss Wheeler, can you tell me
anything else?

Can you think of any
reason why Mr. Enstone would k*ll himself?

No, I don't.

What about his marriage?

I think you'd better ask
Mrs. Enstone about this.

Oh, George, what have we done?

Nothing!

Nothing.

Inside, he must have really loved me.

When he heard about us,
he just couldn't stand it.

Marjorie, be sensible!

He couldn't care less
less about his marriage.

Please don't say that.

Marjorie...

You know it's true.

Now come on, pull yourself together.

The Inspector will want to speak
with you in a few minutes.

Here you are, Inspector.

- All correspondence about the acquisition.
- Thank you.

What is going on out there?

I'll check it out.

Inspector, it is very late and Mrs.
Enstone is terribly tired...

I will have a few more
questions for her.

Well, surely they can
wait until the morning?

That's all, Mr. Fowler, good night.

Good evening.

I said good night, Mr. Fowler.

Mrs. Enstone, I know you are
very tired and shocked,

but can you think of any
possible motive for su1c1de?

Or m*rder?

No.

Forgive me, but were you happily married?

Yes.

I see.

Well, I won't bother you anymore
this evening. Thank you, Mrs. Enstone.

Is that all you have to do?

- I'm thinking, Claude.
- Really?

Yes, with a lot of commitment.

Well, have fun, I'm going to bed.

Good evening, Claude.

About what?

Well, the most common way to k*ll yourself.

It goes like this.

Well, there is the g*n on the roof of the mouth,

which I think is a bit dirty.

Is this obviously leading to something?

When I found Enstone,

He had his
thumb on the trigger like this.

Which is quite unusual, peculiar.

Although I must admit
that it can be done.

And he did.

No, he didn't, Claude.

Someone did that.

Nonsense, Enstone was alone.

All right, what about the peculiar

pantomime outside in the hotel lobby

that I told you about, between Hammel and Enstone?

They were drunk.

But must you admit that it is peculiar?

Simon, relax.
Enstone committed su1c1de.

- Why?
- I don't know yet.

- He didn't leave a note.
- Many people don't.

Correction, Claude.

Most people do.

The default icon, please,
forgive me the kind note.

Pleasant,

Selfish, confused,

making sure that the relatives
feel completely guilty.

It is an open and shut case.

Come to the Yard in the morning.

I will interrogate Costello and Hammel,

I will prove to you that
Enstone committed su1c1de.

He did not commit su1c1de.

He was m*rder*d.

We are trying to find the motive behind Mr. Enstone's
behind Mr. Enstone's su1c1de.

Templar is here as an observer.

Amateur, I love to watch
a professional at work.

How long have you known him, Mr. Costello?

Six years.

Can you think of
any reason for him to k*ll himself?

No, it was a big shock.

Did you like Enstone?

Not particularly.

You don't have to like a man to do business with him.
to do business with him.

- Is that a lighter?
- Yes.

Fascinating.

- Thanks, I designed it myself.
- Really?

Yes, I am an Electrical Engineer.

Oh yes, of course.
I had forgotten.

- May I?
- Of course.

It's brilliant.
How does it work?

It's a secret. I am
I'm putting it on the market.

Can we continue, please?

Yes, of course.
I'm sorry, Claude.

Mr. Hammel, can you tell us anything?

Sorry, I can't.

As Al said, we were both
deeply shocked.

When I left him last night,
he was very excited.

Actually, I was a little drunk.

Wasn't he depressed?

On the contrary, he managed to make
a lot of money with this acquisition.

And for the same reason,
did you have much to lose?

We were having labor problems
labor problems in the factory,

it was inevitable that we would need
Enstone's resources

to fulfill a government contract.

Did you think you were coming
worse in the transaction?

Mergers are not made in heaven,
Mr. Templar.

Oh, I'm sorry.
May I continue, Claude?

Why not?

Mr. Hammel, have you always been in electronics?

No.

What did you do before?

I was a salesman for a
factory in the Midlands.

Were you good?

Frankly, yes, very good.

I am sorry, Claude,
I have no more questions.

I see no reason to consider Mr. Enstone's death
of Mr. Enstone as anything other than su1c1de,

when investigating its possible motives.

Thank you, gentlemen, for coming.

- Goodbye, Mr. Templar.
- Gentlemen.

You're angry with me, aren't you, Claude?

You could say that.

Why did I raise the
the issue of m*rder?

It was not m*rder.

Enstone's wife was
having an affair with Fowler.

Enstone had a detective following her,
named Bishop.

I have his report here.

That's old, Claude.

Did you know?

I saw how they
greeted each other at the hotel bar.

And did you draw an
immediate conclusion?

Well, I am of the age where you
notice certain things.

Enstone was depressed by his wife's
infidelity of his wife, so he k*lled himself.

No, Claude, those two did.

Simon, I am quite convinced
that Enstone took his own life.

Will you stop doing that?

Now, if you want to make
a m*rder of it,

Be my guest, go ahead and solve it.

And get out of my chair,
so that I can close the case.

Thank you, Claude.

And you have no idea what was in it?

It is probably some kind of toy,
does it really matter?

It could.

See, this is the only box

in which none of the toys
in the other room fit into.

And it is the only box that did not come
from that store on Regent Street.

And is that significant?

I think so.

Well, I don't.

Lewis was always picking up
toys for Bobby.

What difference does it make where he bought them

or that one is missing?

It could make a lot of difference.
You see, I wanted to know if

that toy or whatever it was,

was sent, let's say, by a friend.

Many of our friends have sent us
gifts for Bobby on his birthday.

You have no idea who sent this one?

Mr. Templar, why are you intruding?

Because I think your
husband was m*rder*d.

You are wrong.

- Hello?
- Yes.

How can you be so sure?

You see, Lewis has discovered that George
Fowler and I are in love.

He pretended not to care,
but he did.

So deeply that he
could not go on living.

This certainly represents
a different image, doesn't it?

In light of this, it could be su1c1de.

That makes me guilty.

No, Mrs. Enstone,

Don't blame yourself.
You are not guilty.

If you are right,
I would be very grateful.

And if you are wrong, there is
nothing anyone can do about it.

I understand that you are flying to Switzerland?

Yes, I don't want
anyone else to break the news

to Bobby about his father's death.

Now will you excuse me?

Of course.

Thank you for having me.

Is she all right?

Blame yourself.

- Maybe she should.
- No, Claire.

Costello and Hammel have m*rder*d Enstone.

Simon, that is absolutely impossible.

É?

First of all, Costello was nowhere near
was nowhere near the hotel last night.

And after Hammel left,

Enstone was seen alive in the lobby
by about a dozen people.

We watched him go back to the hotel.

This is true.

However, I am right.

Do you know that Hammel is a psychologist?

I know you are a salesman.

Exactly, that amounts to the same thing.

Every salesperson is a psychologist.

They need to be, they need to know
human nature to sell.

And Costello is a
brilliant Electrical Engineer

and an inventor.

I don't understand the connection.

And there is this box, you were going to find out
what was in it. Did you?

I'm afraid not.

I couldn't even
figure out where it came from.

- Is it important?
- It could be.

I don't think Enstone
bought all these toys.

No.

Claire, tonight you and I
are going to pay a little visit,

unofficial, of course,
Costello and Hammel Limited.

Simon, this is the craziest theory
crazy theory I have ever heard.

My theories are generally.

I just hope you know what you are doing, that's all.
what you are doing, that's all.

Okay. Let me try to explain it to you.

Costello and Hammel knew they were making
a pretty tough deal with Enstone,

then, at the last minute
they decided not to accept.

Costello is a device inventor
and Hammel is a psychologist.

Put them together and what do you have?

You tell me.

m*rder, by remote control.

Wait here.

If you see someone suspicious,
blow the horn twice.

And Costello and Hammel?

If they show up,
get out of here fast and call Teal.

- It's unlocked.
- All right, watch your step.

All right, it must have been the night watchman.

- Now, where is the film?
- It is here.

That was very careless of you, wasn't it?
on your part, wasn't it?

It is the only thing that can give us away.

It's gone.

It must be here somewhere.

Looking for something, gentlemen?

What the hell are you doing here?

Proving that crime does not pay.

Oh, I must admit that almost
did it for you.

Except for one or two
unfortunate negligence.

For example, this movie.

You should have gotten rid of it.

Oh, and it would be great if you could get
Enstone to leave a su1c1de note.

And he should have gotten rid of
that strange man's box.

It's all over, Hammel.

Not yet.

You're just in time, Claude.

Now, if you will come in,
I will show you how Enstone was m*rder*d.

Claude, it's all a matter
of sales psychology.

This is the g*n that Enstone
thought he was playing with.

Costello here did that.

So Hammel took
to Enstone last night,

ostensibly as a gift
to young Bobby Enstone.

- Give me this.
- In a moment.

Hammel let Enstone play with him,

just long enough
to pique his interest,

so they decided to
to talk business.

Sometime during the night,
Hammel switched

the toy g*n for a real one.

Now Hammel, being an
excellent salesman, knew that

Enstone would not be able
to take his hands off her.

But just to be sure,
he reminded him before leaving.

I don't get it.

I'll show you.

- Just a minute, I...
- Relax, Claude.

Ingenious, isn't it?

- A lot.
- May I?

Well, here it is, Claude.

This is what happened to the
man who liked toys.

I personally prefer the dolls.
