German secret agents in London speech of Judge Gwynne
You become thick and rich that tampering with the law.
I may be thick and rich but not by tampering with the law.
Arthur. -Good Evening.
As Travers and I would share a room in Gleneagles ...
we would commit a sex crime according to your reasoning.
That is not the same.
What did Scrutton judge to the jury in the case of George Joseph Smith?
The jury had to stick to the facts.
Nobody saw that Smith killed his brides.
Whiskey Soda, please.
But if a man gets married five times and drown all his wives in the bathtub ...
then you can assume murder. -It Is not evidence.
A man sits eight hours with a strange woman in a hotel room.
Then lies adultery obvious.
It is obvious, but the adultery is not proven.
However, if they pay me enough to prove it.
Sherry.
Good evening, Travers.
When a man and a woman stay in a hotel room ...
then there must be adultery.
Good evening, Humphrey.
Excellent speech last night. -That Thought so too. I read it in the Times.
It was a recap, before judgment.
So bad it can not be. And it's in the past.
I never liked you, Carstairs.
I tolerate you for your bridge game.
It is a hypocritical thing that divorces.
I have just settled the divorce for Lady Elvaston. Prove anything.
Queen Mary ignores her, but she laughed at me amiably.
In my time you're not sitting at the table with a divorce lawyer.
I'll do that with you, Carstairs. Be happy and listen to me.
You're old-fashioned. -It Was a recap, Arthur.
Did I ever ignored the evidence in a recap?
German spies in England? Soon you say that the Kaiser's visit.
Spot is always the kiss of death to the defending team.
The evidence is there. Germany was defeated in 1918 by the Allies.
Even in the evidence you are wrong. Germany is not defeated.
Not in the eyes of the Germans. -You Are a dangerous man.
There will never be peace if people like you continue to feed the old hatreds.
Again visited Sir Humphrey? No, not tonight.
Tell me, Orm. Why should you visit him?
As anarchist or national-socialist Do you want to cancel the world.
Sir Humphrey trying to maintain the proper ruin.
Sir Humphrey Gwynne's ideas stand against me less than what you are doing.
My dear, if you want to fight for social justice ...
you me better than Sir Humphrey Gwynne.
What if someone knows of death sentences and the prison?
What do you have with social justice?
You buy orchids, and that money can a poor family lives a year.
That's vague posturing.
If I help a family with that money, I would achieve nothing with that.
My skilled gardeners would starve.
Your unskilled family would eat themselves to death.
No pity, no compassion. No love for your fellow man.
When someone asks me for money for such a vague story, I do not give a penny.
Money for the poor? Not a penny.
But if someone asks money for a school ...
where children can learn to provide for themselves ...
I would give what he asked.
Good evening. -Also Good evening.
Damn, my keys.
You've done a great job, Humphrey.
As King's Counsel and as a judge. -Klinkt As an obituary.
Although I never had let hang Hartley.
The court shall apply the law. He did not make it. The jury found him guilty.
His companion fired the shot. -He Was an accomplice.
It was distraught premeditated. Who shot, does not matter.
Another approach would be weak. You might be a bad judge.
I would not make fun of me.
German spies in Britain. You do not know what you say.
You're too old, but you're not by yourself.
I will know in time when I am too old to say something sensible.
But even then I will rely only on evidence.
I know what I'm doing, Humphrey.
I hope, Arthur.
Green?
Green.
Thank you, Mr. Bagshaw. No, allow me.
Do you want to drink something, mademoiselle? -Thank you...
Monsieur Hercule Flambeau. He is as famous as the Kaiser.
Because I was not a thief. Also, if you steal from a duchess, you are a thief.
If scammer must have your sense of humor.
Beaverbrook even laughed at my Tyroolse dairy.
"Only my Tyroolse dairy products contain life-sustaining vitamins."
I bought the milk at the store and doubled the price.
You are a private detective. You abide by the law, you say. But that is not so.
My clients think I have an understanding of it, not that I am a crook.
What is happening? Madame X is a night out ...
meets a gigolo, dives into bed with him and he steals her brooch.
She does not go to the police because her husband knows nothing.
So she hires you to find her brooch.
They even give you permission to pay him.
On her first offense she adds a second increase, bribery.
And you're complicit because you pay late.
You should go to the police. -I am here now?
I have persuaded her to give to the gigolo.
And her husband forgives her. -It's Not just because of that.
Why do people always think that the private detective is better than the police?
Even in books. The professional is always wrong, and amateur alike.
Our problem is that we adhere to the rules.
But writers do not give us a law of logic.
Sherlock Holmes would say that he also followed the logic.
Then let's look at one of his cases.
He knew: That man crossing is a foreigner, because he looked left.
But they forget that the police also could guess.
Or even knew, because the police kept an eye on all foreigners.
Another one? -No, We have to go.
Goodbye, Mr Bagshaw. -Good Evening, Florrie.
Good evening, monsieur.
Another one, Florrie. -Yes, Mr. Green.
The man who would come out of this house, it would also look to the left as he crossed.
But I know more. He has a German mother.
The son is such a socialist who writes plays and pamphlets.
I have heard about this new movement.
This house is a certain Buller. A millionaire who we must protect.
There are a lot of people on his money.
Here lives Sir Humphrey Gwynne, the famous judge.
He is the one who made noise in the war of spies.
He says there are still spies.
We keep an eye on him. He will get many threatening letters.
What was that? -A Heavy revolver. Two shots.
It comes from here. Come with me. There is a fence around the corner.
This is faster. Is there a party? It looks like the garden is illuminated.
He has his own generator. -The Seem alarms.
Good help. They are alarm signals.
Death. Two breast shots. -You Have some explaining to do.
He was already dead. I'm here on behalf of the newspaper.
What's your name? -Michael Flood.
lrish Times. lnterview you people always so late at night?
He spends all day on the court. And after dinner you are more likely.
How did you get in? -Geklommen.
Always climb over the wall? That does a journalist sometimes.
No one came to the door. The clerk was not there.
How do you know that? -I am not the only one doing something.
You also climbed over the wall. And I also see all the attendant there.
Green? -Mr Bagshaw.
Wat is er? -Sir Humphrey is dood.
Dead?
Murdered? -Murdered. Do you know anything about it?
I did not know he was home. He went to seven hours to the Wig Club.
Did you see him come home? -I was expecting him at noon.
Where were you? -I have seen him.
He was in the same pub as we do. He was drinking a beer.
Why you climbed over the wall? -because The gate was closed.
Can anyone confirm who you are? No, I just came from Ireland.
The only one I know, Brown is pastor of All Saints Church.
I've been friends for years with Father Brown.
If he relies on Father Brown, he speaks the truth.
Unless he is a rasleugenaar who deserves to get away with it.
As I was a rasleugenaar who earned it to get away.
lnteressant.
We heard shots and climbed over the wall.
Sir Humphrey was in the garden, was assassinated.
Gwynne's pet peeve was spying. He thought there were spies active.
The inspector thinks in that direction. Inspector? My friend, Father Brown.
Good evening, Father. -Good Evening, sir.
Flood, my dear. -You Know this man.
An excellent writer. He once wrote a laudatory piece ...
about a case where I was unconsciously and unintentionally involved.
They suspect me, pastor. -Oh? How's that?
I climbed over the wall. No one came to the door.
I'm glad you know him, but he has arrived in a strange way.
He is indeed arrived in a strange way.
It happens to the best. You also climbed over the wall.
I've gotten through the gate and the front door.
So I usually go inside somewhere. -Doet This story on the matter?
I've seen something that you might not have seen.
It seemed to me that it had to do with the murder.
Is not that right, Flambeau? -What Did you see?
A large mirror is broken, and an overturned palm tree.
I'll go have a look.
There has struggled. Probably by Sir Humphrey and the killer.
I also had the feeling that something must have happened.
The perpetrator came through the front door. Sir Humphrey let him in.
They walked down the hall and came to here.
The killer pulls a weapon, they begin to fight.
He shoots the mirror and Sir Humphrey flight touches to the garden.
The killer chases him and shoot him in the pond died.
There are two shots fired here. One bullet hit the mirror.
The other shot was low. The bullet is here.
He was afraid anyway. Therefore, he had a gun.
Inspector, you will mind if Pastor Brown and I stay there?
Mr. Flood, I have some questions for you.
Why did you want to interview Sir Humphrey? Judge Gwynne.
Why not judge or Hampton Acton?
He was condescending about Ireland. -Hoezo, Condescending?
He thought again that Germany wanted war.
That Germany would invade England via Ireland.
I remember. The Vatican was a bit embarrassed.
It looked like the Archbishop of Ireland and all the clergy ...
the Germans would help in that war.
Thank you. -Has He said that?
He suggested that senior figures had made the promise ...
they would get high positions in occupied territory.
And who are they, except clergy? -We Are ready for the time being.
He can not leave yet. Green leaves come.
Watch you about my good name? -Leave It to me, and God.
An Irish patriot. He had motive and opportunity.
He climbs over the wall and enter through the front door.
A struggle in the hallway and a shooting in the garden.
It could have, but it is not so. Mr. Flood does not think like a murderer.
Hier is Green.
Green, from you I want to hear the whole story.
I have no story. I was about ten hours away and left the gate open.
When I returned, the gate was closed and was Sir Humphrey death.
There are more servants? -I do anything.
Did you know he had a gun? -Jazeker, Sir.
You know he always received threatening letters.
What did he do with it? -He Kept them in the safe.
Where is that safe? -In the shed.
Why did you open the gate? -I had forgotten my keys.
How did you open the gate? -You Can open it from the inside.
And when you came back, it was close. What did you do?
That an agent had closed it. Why would the cops do that?
Because they had to keep an eye on.
Inspector, could I ask you something?
When you left, did you open the gate because you had forgotten your keys.
Have you left the door open to the hallway to the garden?
I thought so. Thank you, sir. -Green, You're ready for the time being.
Green can have the gate and left the door open ...
in consultation with the killer.
As Sir Humphrey would come home at that time ...
Green had to leave in order to arrange an alibi.
The killer enters through the gate and the garden door.
Sir Humphrey hears something in the hallway, the room is running out ...
and sees the killer, after a struggle follows.
Sir Humphrey flight into the garden, but is overtaken and slain.
The killer closes the gate, as agreed with Green.
Who must climb over the wall and occur so innocent.
Maybe you should go take a look in the garden house.
And what do you expect to find there? -I am simply curious.
I was already planning to look at the garden house.
Detective?
They say it's bad luck to break a mirror there.
He was immediately dead. Two bullets in the chest.
ls the weapon found? -We Are looking for.
This is a list of events in which he acted as judge.
They have one thing in common.
They are people who have been convicted of war for spying.
This is very peculiar.
Mahjong characters, Inspector?
It is a code. Codes can be cracked.
Not if it is not the intention of the code to be converted.
This inkblot. Does not suggest that there he was disturbed when writing?
The murderer.
"The killer now has another motive."
Which symbolizes someone, and that someone is' suspect I know. "
He was right. There must be spies in England.
The spirit of a traitor. Which I would like to fathom.
Gentlemen, you do not want to touch this book? The Secret Service has to look at it.
Flambeau, there's something strange about the sense 'suspect I know. "
Why did not the perpetrator removed this?
Sir Humphrey always wrote everything down. Maybe he was disturbed.
Our friend Michael Flood?
The murder weapon. A German Luger. -It's More like it. Even more?
Footprints from someone with little feet. But there is something strange.
Good evening.
Wie bent u? -lk ben Osric Orm.
So you are Osric Orm. You -Kent him?
I know his political ideas. Which I obviously do not support.
They have to do with the murder? -That's Very possible.
Explain to why you're there. -Out of curiosity.
That's no answer. -It Happens where.
Were you tonight at the home of Judge Gwynne?
There you are again. Have you decided anyway to go visit?
Mr. Buller, Sir Humphrey was murdered. -Murdered?
I'll do the research. Can you elaborate.
It is nothing. When I came an hour ago ...
I came Orm against the house of Sir Humphrey.
Light, Sir Humphrey home. I gave him a little time.
Shots, Sir Humphrey died beside the pond, a man there.
When you came, and someone else. And when the servant climbed over the wall.
I was just curious how it would end.
Pastor, you said that had to make his political views with the murder.
His ideas, but he was not himself. -Why Does not he?
Mr. Orm is equally convinced of his faith as I love mine.
He also thinks that you should have the freedom to go your own way.
And that may not like your life is dominated by the church and the rich.
I quote him: Get off the church, abolish the wealth ...
and only then can man lead a rich and fruitful life.
In his own way, believes Mr. Orm like me that life is sacred.
Therefore, you also I would never murder suspect.
The new socialist movement in Germany is very popular.
The leader of the party that thinks he is going to conquer the world.
There was Sir Humphrey always talking about. -lnderdaad, yes.
You're ready, Mr. Orm. Tentative. He can not leave yet, Officer.
If the killer came through the gate, Orm would have seen him.
He should have seen him. -It Is quite clear to me now.
Green leaves by the garden gate and the gate, and the patio door open.
Sir Humphrey comes home early and go to the shed.
He walks back, then why.
Orm coming through the gate and go inside.
They meet, and Sir Humphrey flight to the garden ...
where Orm shoot him.
Then Orm Flood sees climbing over the wall.
He throws the weapon into the pond to flood the fault.
But he can not go away and panic.
The arbor. He climbs into the gazebo ...
but notes that it is too heavy to climb back down.
He decided to wait for his chance and later escape.
The footprints on the path? -which Will be Orm.
It's someone with small feet. -Orm Is a great guy.
Orm has small feet. There I watched.
Then it quite right.
The German revolver, occasion, German sympathies, little feet ...
and the victim is a spy hunter.
And yet, inspector: Osric Orm is not the murderer of Sir Humphrey.
Why not?
Osric Orm looks different than the murderer.
If Orm is not, who is it?
Mr. Orm is an idealist. He is wrong, but he remains an idealist.
Some people are out for power.
Hoping to get them through the idealism of others.
These people are dangerous.
But I do not think we should have someone who is too eager.
As a famous writer once said. -So Your assassin bent on power.
And anyone who wants power, often feels failed.
And do you know who that man is? No, inspector. I do not know.
But I see him very clearly.
I do not see him. And Osric Orm did not like him, there in that gazebo.
lk arresteer hem voor de moord op Sir Humphrey Gwynne.
Murder is a cowardly act and shocking for all of us.
It is even more shocking when the victim is an older man.
If the victim is an older man and Sir Humphrey Gwynne ...
only gives it to us but disgust and anger on.
Sir Humphrey Gwynne was een groot en menslievend man.
He believed fervently in righteousness.
He knew no mercy for the man who committed a crime of calculation.
But he was on the wrong path by hunger, hardship and pain ...
was done in a different way law.
He gave many people a new opportunity, by forgiving and not to punish.
In the terrible war years Sir Humphrey Gwynne spoke on behalf of us all.
Sir Humphrey forgave the man who broke the law of necessity.
But he did not forgive a traitor.
For him, he knew no mercy. The traitor was given the highest punishment.
He warned us in recent years that the danger was not over.
In Germany, there are people who seek revenge ...
and that in this country spies who cooperate.
He wanted to destroy these villains at all costs.
His cruel death is cause for reflection ...
and raises the question of whether he was right.
We can say that Sir Humphrey Gwynne gave his life ...
because he loved his country.
A good introduction. -A Emotional speech.
He will stay with the jury.
Are you sure that you have left open the gate?
You bet that he left the gate open.
You thought he was late coming home. -He Would still go play bridge after dinner.
It was possible to noon.
ln the meantime we know that he has come home earlier than expected ...
namely, in the time since you were gone.
I would like to know why Sir Humphrey came back earlier.
You have knowledge of weapons? Can you say what kind of weapon is this?
It is made in Germany. All German soldiers used them in the war.
ls such a weapon easily available? -After The war, there are lots sold.
ls Sir Humphrey slain by bullets from this gun?
And in the corridor were also bullets came from this gun?
To me is the heavy task to defend Mr. Osric Orm.
He denies that he killed Sir Humphrey Gwynne ...
and that the weapon that was found in the pond, was his.
He does not deny that he wanted to visit Sir Humphrey. He did so often.
He will tell you that they often talked late into the night.
You may wonder why, because they were so different.
The conservative old man and the young, revolutionary writer.
But they had one thing in common.
Their love for England and the desire for world peace.
Osric Orm is the son of a diplomat who has served his country faithfully.
His mother is German, and Osric Orm has been in his youth often in Berlin.
There he learned to love Germany.
Mr. Osric Orm argues in his work for a new world order ...
which must be based on agreements between Germany and England.
Is he therefore a German spy ...
these cowardly murdered a man who was the enemy of all traitors?
Father? -A Small glass of whiskey.
Brilliant opening of Travers. -He Sparkled.
He fell that night against Gwynne and feels guilty, I think.
Therefore he finds the matter so important.
I wonder if it is good to have a say your feelings.
Travers was quite good, but not for that reason.
This case is a godsend.
Travers always wants to be all right.
With one sounding act as prosecutor, he hopes to still be it.
What do you think, Father? -Take Excuse me.
It's crazy that some men there without wigs look so different.
You talked about the brilliant prosecutor.
I just saw him come in, and it looks very different.
He is for example completely bald. -Then He can still be brilliant.
Or should we as defense argued that the prosecution is bald?
I think Travers indeed care about the case.
He must have felt that the death of Gwynne's his fault.
Gwynne had the night before held a speech.
For the umpteenth time he spoke of espionage in England.
We sometimes wondered if he still had them one by one.
He had great respect. And you should let such an old fool in his value.
Travers said what we thought, and much more.
He called him a madman. Gwynne is then went home.
Whiskey for me.
You seem to worry. -Just so.
If the British justice as going to work, a better system is needed hard ...
and British citizens will again know what constitutes justice.
The bell was no response, so you have gone into the garden.
I have walked in the garden. -It Was not your house.
He did not have minded. -You Sat in the gazebo.
There you have been waiting for him. -I have been waiting for him.
When Green was gone, the perpetrator would have come through the gate.
He entered the house, shot at Sir Humphrey ...
after which they fled and was killed in the yard.
For example, it may be gone.
From the gazebo you could have seen the culprit.
You could hear shots, you had Sir Humphrey can see in the garden.
I'd have to see, yes. -And Yet you have seen nothing.
I saw that Sir Humphrey was dead. -And That's it?
You only saw that he was dead?
"I just saw that Sir Humphrey was dead."
There Orm does not come off.
What are you thinking about, Father Brown?
Frankly, I was thinking about it ...
that some types of people know so little about different types of people.
Suppose I should ever fail me among strangers ...
which England had not known.
I would tell you that there are people who put wigs on their heads ...
with pigtails on the back and side curls.
They would only find odd.
They would not know what a lawyer.
What an idiotic and impossible theories you still have, pastor.
A lawyer knows nothing of writers.
He knows his own traits, not of writers.
Where to go?
Quirks of a writer would find other writers not weird.
A lawyer finds it strange that a writer sits down in a gazebo.
For a writer that's normal. That is perhaps for hours.
The defense has never made him the only logical question.
What question? -What Play he was writing.
With what theme he was doing. To which he was to climax.
A lawyer who knows anything about writing ...
would know that doing nothing is half the battle.
But he says he has not seen anything.
He saw something, but just what was going on in his own head.
Your honor, members of the jury.
Is there any reason to doubt the guilt of the defendant?
He makes no secret of his German sympathies.
He does not deny that he is Sir Humphrey visited that evening.
Found the murder weapon is of German origin.
He enters through the gate that Green has left.
He rings the bell. He says that Sir Humphrey did not open, but it should be.
Sir Humphrey asked him inside. Why not? He came often.
We will never know what exactly happened then.
Accused Sir Humphrey prevents him from being a German spy?
He had accused him before and threatened to expose him?
Anyway, Mr. Osric Orm is that evening, gone over to him ...
a murder weapon in his pocket and with murderous intentions.
An apocryphal story is before us.
A man commits a murder and remains near.
He had to escape. He had to climb ...
but would for someone in need which are a snap.
And would a pro-German person just any German weapon behind?
My honorable colleague has said that if the perpetrator was someone else ...
the defendant that person would have seen.
He would have seen the perpetrator and the shots heard.
He would have seen Sir Humphrey, he would have heard the shots.
He would have seen the murder of Sir Humphrey.
But not necessarily. Because Osric Orm, on trial for the brutal murder ...
is in fact a writer.
A councilor has said ...
a magician shows the audience to see what it expected.
Mr. Orm did not expect to see a murder.
He was with his thoughts on his work.
An artist can feel so close that he does not notice his surroundings.
From your mouth sounded convincing, but not from that of Blake.
The jury will find him guilty.
Travers will be given the position of judge.
lronisch because he really hates Gwynne.
Oh yeah? Why?
Gwynne was the greatest jurist of England.
He Travers repeatedly rebuked.
Gwynne kept his appointment at.
Travers was often hot-tempered. Through his ambition he was not tactical.
Gwynne forced him again to offer openly apologizes.
It did him no good. Travers was no friend of Gwynne.
Excuse me.
Something to drink, Father?
Ambition. Of course, ambition.
Ambition is very dangerous.
Believers are also sometimes accused of ambition.
Even pastors commit murder.
What do you say? That Gwynne was murdered by the court chaplain?
I say what I always say. That Osric Orm is not the culprit.
I know what the killer looks.
It is not true that Osric Orm was in the hallway.
How can you not get so near Sir Humphrey?
Why he fled in the room? There was also his weapon.
He must have escaped from the house. No, because he was not inside.
Not when the perpetrator came through the gate. Then it was Sir Humphrey in the gazebo.
But there was shooting inside. The mirror was broken, the palm tree.
Yes, but there was no struggle. How is the mirror then broken?
Because of the bullet. The perpetrator has a bullet fired.
There has been shot twice. -The Second layer.
The mirror broke, the killer was startled and fired again.
But who shot him then? -In a way, Gwynne.
Only those not there. The killer was alone.
When Orm did not do it, who will?
Imagine going for. The mirror, the large palm tree.
In the semi-darkness may seem the man in the mirror on Sir Humphrey.
Even if the similarity is not so large.
Osric Orm would never confuse his own reflection with Sir Humphrey.
It should be someone who looks like Sir Humphrey.
So I said: I know what he looks like. -It's A good theory.
I'm going to claim something that you said that it was foolish and impossible.
The defense should be based on the fact that the prosecutor ...
kaal is.
Travers?
Travers was as you ambitious and disappointed.
But how Travers could benefit from it?
In an England under German rule, he would be the highest court.
The life of an innocent man is at stake. Please call the inspector.
He did not believe me anyway.
