A young girl emerges, who 35 00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:32.599 waves till a few friends gathered near the entrance, and 36 00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:35.960 turns along the dusty yellow road in the direction of 37 00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:39.879 the tarniship.

She gave it to me my 50 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:14.960 twelfth person.

Yes, 74 00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:11.839 it's a wonderful spot. 75 00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:13.439 I've stayed there for a week once, and. 76 00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:15.439 After every minute of it, well then you've probably learn 77 00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:16.879 more about the place than I do. I mean, had 78 00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:18.720 just passed through it. But that's when I saw the 79 00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:19.639 lamb for sale. 80 00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:20.759 How long ago was that? 81 00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:22.560 All? About six or seven months? 82 00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:25.920 Have it's been sold in the meantime, No, that's hardly likely. 83 00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:27.560 You see, I spoke to the agent. 84 00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.079 His home years had already been up for sale two years, 85 00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:33.480 and looked like saying that waiting for the next ten Oh, 86 00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:35.480 I see, I really hope he knew what he was 87 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:40.920 talking about. The two walked on in silence for several moments, 88 00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:47.480 then suddenly the young man laughed. I say, I've been 89 00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:51.199 walking along telling you my inmost secrets, and I haven't 90 00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:52.199 even introduced myself. 91 00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:53.759 I was just about to say the same thing. 92 00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:59.079 Well, the name's Move, Trevor Move, and mine's evening Rose. 93 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:01.079 Every one calls me Edie. 94 00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:05.639 And that's how it all began, a romance destined to 95 00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:08.079 flower with all the beauty of young love, only to 96 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:11.120 wither and die of tragic death. But let us not anticipate, 97 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:14.439 let us follow the course of that romance, or rather 98 00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:17.879 let us pick out the more pertinent of its developments. 99 00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:21.439 After their first meeting, Trevor Moon and Evie Rose spent 100 00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:24.240 most of their time in each other's company. For twelve months, 101 00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:27.800 they were rarely seen apart, and then one evening, while 102 00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:31.759 strolling in the moonlight, Moon asked Stevie to Mellian, I 103 00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:35.319 haven't much you off. You're dying and well, apart from 104 00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:39.160 what I put aside from the farmize no money. But 105 00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:41.000 if there is such a thing as loud as I've 106 00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:42.839 really fallen victim. 107 00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:49.560 To it, Oh time. 108 00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:55.199 You're sure it's what you want, my dear, as easie 109 00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:57.639 as it wasn't, I wouldn't. 110 00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:01.519 Have asked you. I suppose he would. 111 00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:03.879 It's just that, said the flat. 112 00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:09.879 Well, I wasn't expecting it. You took me unawares. 113 00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:11.839 I would be quite truthful, darning, I. 114 00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:13.279 Took myself unawares to. 115 00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:17.959 He hasn't given me an answer yet. Now to be 116 00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:20.160 or not to be? That is the question. 117 00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:25.040 Silly, of course, how merry you are, son, you just 118 00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:26.040 as soon as you want you to. 119 00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:30.240 But Moon was in no hurry. The contrary, he was 120 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:32.839 the type who could not be hustled, and a further 121 00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:36.240 twelve months passed, during which time he remained as devoted 122 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:40.959 as ever, but appeared singularly reluctant to take the proverbial plunge. Easy, 123 00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:43.279 on the other hand, became more impatient as the days 124 00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:45.720 went by, and when informed by her suitor that he 125 00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:47.839 had at last saved enough money to leave the bank 126 00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:52.000 and purchased his precious chicken farm in Sussex, her emotions 127 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:53.319 gave them to words. 128 00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:57.319 Oh, trebble, I'm so tired of all this waiting.

A month passed and no word from him. 141 00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:31.279 Evie had done her best to be patient as hee 142 00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:34.039 he dies, but this was too much. Packing a bag, 143 00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:37.320 she took a train for Crowborough, and, upon reaching a destination, 144 00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:40.840 checked in at the local inn, but she made inquiries 145 00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:44.600 as to the location of the Moon property. Within the hour, 146 00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:47.080 she was knocking at the door of a small shack 147 00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:49.320 on the outskirts of the village. 148 00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:54.919 Evie shall a darlick. 149 00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:56.399 She don't be angry with. 150 00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:58.240 Me, but God to see you. 151 00:08:58.320 --> 00:08:59.399 Ask how did you get here? 152 00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:02.559 By train?

There's a case of a missing 190 00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:44.240 girl who disappeared for good. 191 00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:47.120 Today. 192 00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:52.360 Evidence of that fact can be seen here in the 193 00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:57.799 Black Museum. 194 00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:00.720 In just a moment, we will continue with the Black 195 00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:10.919 Museum starring awesome Wells. And now we continue with the 196 00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:22.759 Black Museum starring awesome Wells. 197 00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:27.399 Just another missing girl. Yes, that's how the reported disappearance 198 00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:31.399 of ev Rose was first described. Nothing particularly unusual about 199 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:34.399 such a report. Almost every day of the week, someone 200 00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:38.000 or other vanishes without any apparent reason or cause to 201 00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:40.879 show up again in due course, the perfectly simple explanation 202 00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:45.159 for the supposedly mysterious absence. But of course there's always 203 00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:48.440 the exception, which is why the police wasted little time 204 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:51.279 as possible in checking up on such matters. So it 205 00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:54.120 was that the following day Missus Lena Rose received a 206 00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:58.159 visit from Sergeant Cross as the Crower Police station. Well, then, 207 00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:01.879 Missus Rose, let's get the fact. Wait, tall we according 208 00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:04.279 to this report you had brought her left home early 209 00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:05.320 on Saturday morning. 210 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:08.159 That's right, Sergeant. Two days ago she told us she 211 00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:08.840 was going out. 212 00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:09.759 Of Clobra for the day. 213 00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:12.519 Cobra, he's a visit, has to answer. He has a 214 00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:15.279 chicken farm there had a very big one. I understand 215 00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:17.000 he only bought it a few months ago. 216 00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:18.240 But she's doing very well. 217 00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:20.399 You've been in touch with him, I take it. 218 00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:22.879 Oh, yes, he said he was expecting easy for lunch 219 00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:24.799 on Saturday, but she didn't arrive. 220 00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:28.720 Was she in the habit of visiting him often? No. 221 00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:31.360 Several weeks ago she went down to see how he 222 00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:32.200 was getting long. 223 00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:36.080 That was the only time she returned the same name get. 224 00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:38.759 In time for tea. I come to think of it, 225 00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:40.559 just about that time that. 226 00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:43.840 She changed so changed. 227 00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:47.639 Yes, she used to be such a hatty sort of girl, 228 00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:50.879 you know, A was laughing and joking, and then suddenly 229 00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:56.360 she became moody, sullen, and so as if something was worrying. 230 00:13:55.960 --> 00:13:59.279 Her, something she couldn't speak of, even to me. 231 00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:02.039 I have no idea what it could have been. I suppose. 232 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:06.639 Oh, well, perhaps I shouldn't tell you this, but I 233 00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:08.960 had a feeding. It has something to do with Trevor 234 00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:11.600 Trevor Trevor Moon had thence. 235 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:14.960 Oh what kind of something, missus Rose. 236 00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:16.559 Well, that's what heavy puzzle. 237 00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:18.960 I just come to an agent. Trefford was such a 238 00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:19.879 nice boy and. 239 00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:20.960 So fond of Ev. 240 00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:24.159 I'm quite sure he wouldn't have done or said anything 241 00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:26.759 to hurt her, well, not intentionally, that is. 242 00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:30.279 How long have they been keeping company? All? 243 00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:31.519 About two and a half years? 244 00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:33.919 As long as that? Eh? And when were they to 245 00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:34.440 be married? 246 00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:37.159 Well, I'm not sure, sergeant. 247 00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:41.039 Besides, I know they haven't actually set at date. 248 00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:45.240 I see, well, I think I might pop down the 249 00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:47.080 crow but I don't have a chat with mister Moon. 250 00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:49.960 He may be aboko on me something. Thanks for your help, 251 00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:53.519 Missus Rose, and don't worry, we'll find your daughter. You're 252 00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:55.559 probably be hearing from me again in a day two. 253 00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:58.919 With an encouraging smile, Sergeant Cross took his leave at 254 00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:01.120 the anxious mother and said for the railway station, of 255 00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:04.879 thoughtful expression crowding his wrinkled brow. That same expression was 256 00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:06.720 still present when he stepped from the train on the 257 00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:09.360 platform at Crowborough and headed along the lonely lane that 258 00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:12.320 led to the Moon Chicken farm. The gate was open, 259 00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:13.279 and seeing no one about. 260 00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:15.159 He made his way up to the front. 261 00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:24.960 Doors with shacked not. Yes, mister Moon, that's right. I'm 262 00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:26.919 sergeant Cross, so I wonder if you could spare a 263 00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:30.159 few months. Your silent fire means sergeants come right in. 264 00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:35.279 Place. Is in a bit of a mess? 265 00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:40.440 I'm afraid that's all right. Sit down, yer, thanks. I 266 00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:42.639 suppose you know why I'm here. Well, I have a 267 00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:45.320 fair idea. It's about ev Rose, isn't it. 268 00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:48.120 Yes, still near a signpa, I'm afraid not. 269 00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:51.720 There are just a few questions i'd like to ask you, 270 00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:54.759 mister Moon, ut thine, you understand nothing more. But of 271 00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:57.799 course I've just come from kencel Rise. I've been talking 272 00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:00.559 to missus Rose, who gave me full of details. She's 273 00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:02.960 only the sight of her mind with worry. Well, under 274 00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:05.240 the circumstances, I think she's taken it very well. 275 00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:08.840 I understand that you and the missing girl and engaged 276 00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:11.679 to be married, that's heir, and that she was on 277 00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:14.120 her way down here to visit you when she disappeared. Yes, 278 00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:15.840 I was at the station to meet her, but she 279 00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:16.679 wasn't on the train. 280 00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:20.559 What train was that? The eleven o'clock I waited an 281 00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:22.519 hour for the next one, but she wasn't on that either, 282 00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:25.840 So I came back home. Were you worried at all? No? Not, 283 00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:28.519 And Julia I just assumed she'd changed her mind about coming. 284 00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:31.519 You didn't think it's odd that you hadn't heard from her? No, 285 00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:34.000 I can't say I did. How long is it since 286 00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:39.000 you last saw her? Oh? Roughly speaking about for two months? 287 00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:42.240 That was when she last visited you. Yes, she only 288 00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:45.440 came here once. And I see, how did she seem then? 289 00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:49.320 How did you mean? Well? Did she seem depressed or 290 00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:56.320 worried about it? Nothing? Not that I can recall. No why, Oh, 291 00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:59.960 no particular reason. Not for one second during the intellgame 292 00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:04.119 did Sergeant Cross shift his gaze from Moon's face. He 293 00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:06.680 had never trusted black eyes, and he wasn't quite sure 294 00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:10.400 he liked the look of this young fellow. But despite this, 295 00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:14.240 the inscrutable mister Moon gave no indication that he knew 296 00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:17.119 any more about the missing Evil Rose than he was 297 00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:20.240 ready to admit, and certainly did not appear. 298 00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:21.680 To have anything to hide. 299 00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:25.519 It's the country. In fact, Back at the Krograth police 300 00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:29.160 station later that same day, Cross admitted as much to 301 00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:33.119 his superior to visional Inspector Broughton. So you think you 302 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:35.960 so all he knows as Argant. Well, so let's just 303 00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:38.839 say that he gave me that impression. It was those 304 00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:41.480 black eyes of his that set me thinking, sure, you've 305 00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:43.680 got a shifty look about them. You can hardly hold 306 00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:45.880 the color of a man's eyes against his. His sergeants 307 00:17:46.119 --> 00:17:49.039 perhaps not said even so, I think the best thing 308 00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:50.440 we can do at the stage is to give the 309 00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:53.759 newspapers the photograph of the missing girl and the description 310 00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:55.440 of the coach he was wearing on the day of 311 00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:58.079 a disappearance. Just as you say that, I'll attend to 312 00:17:58.119 --> 00:18:00.400 it right away. First it was that a photo graph 313 00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:04.720 of ev Rose, together with a description, found its way 314 00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:09.880 onto the front page of three London newspapers. Well that 315 00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:13.640 should do the trick. Yes, let's hip, says Argent. Two 316 00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:17.279 weeks past, during which time no information regarding missing girl 317 00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:21.799 was forthcoming. Yet a third week went by and still 318 00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:25.000 there was no trace for d. V. Rose, Well Sardan, 319 00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:29.680 which as if we've borne a blank her. What's to 320 00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:33.000 do now, that's the question. I think I might pay 321 00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:36.119 your friend miss the Moon visit by that if you'll 322 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:38.799 get much more from him than I got. Possibly not 323 00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:43.799 no harm. In trying to this day, Inspector Broughton could 324 00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:47.000 not say exactly why he so suddenly decided to pay 325 00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:50.279 Moon a call. Perhaps it was the prompting of fate. 326 00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:53.680 Perhaps he acted simply on a blind impulse. Whatever it was, 327 00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:57.359 he wasted no time about it, and that same afternoon 328 00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:00.000 he made his way out to the moon Fire found 329 00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:03.839 Borne seated on the narrow land, thoughtfully puffing at a 330 00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:09.480 much smoked play. Hello, you are another of those tempoor reporters. 331 00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:09.559 You can go to. 332 00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:14.559 No, No, I'm not a reporter. Well that's a relief anyway. 333 00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:16.839 He'd been showing up here in a says stream for 334 00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:20.519 the past three weeks. Is that a fact? Yes, you know. 335 00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:22.119 I'm convinced they really believe I'm. 336 00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:26.359 Murdered that girl, that easy rose, prying fools that they are, 337 00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:28.519 the way they asked questions to think I was on trial. 338 00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:30.119 Yes, bes you are. 339 00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:34.519 But I mean I think you will know more than 340 00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:38.599 you're telling. Why should facing that? No, he was supposed 341 00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:40.960 to be on a way to visit you and she disappeared. 342 00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:44.039 It doesn't mean I'm murderer, No, I mean anyone could 343 00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:50.759 have done it, done one murderer who said she was murdered? Why? No, 344 00:19:51.079 --> 00:19:54.559 one not in so many words. But that's what they're inferred, 345 00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:57.839 those special reporters. You're sure you're not imagining it. 346 00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:00.200 Of course I'm not imagining it. Oh I should I 347 00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:00.759 imagine it? 348 00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:06.440 Whoa? Why should you? Indeed, you're shy on not a reporter? 349 00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:09.599 Quite sure? Who are you? 350 00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:09.880 Then? 351 00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:14.000 Oh, they're okay, I'm a. 352 00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:20.039 Detective detective, His thicker pardons the name. Oh well, I'm 353 00:20:21.119 --> 00:20:25.599 I'm gad it's not inspect that what caught you here? 354 00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:25.839 Oh? 355 00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:28.680 I just want to ever look about the place, quite clearly, 356 00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:31.920 answered him. I suppose you wanted to question me too, Well, 357 00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:33.200 thank you. 358 00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:35.480 I did want to, but I don't. 359 00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:38.759 Want to anymore. I think you're giving me all the 360 00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:41.640 answers I need. With a nod, the inspector turned and 361 00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:43.799 walked back down the path. He didn't look back, but 362 00:20:43.839 --> 00:20:46.799 he could feel Moon's eyes staring after him, the eyes 363 00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:51.359 that had told him so much, so convincingly. It's just 364 00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:54.119 like that, almost like the sort of stuff one reads 365 00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:57.599 in a cheap detective fiction magazine. Well this was cheap. 366 00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:03.599 It wasn't fiction. Was life life, and its first is 367 00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:08.839 suit that was quick, Inspector, how do you make us 368 00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:12.799 you could kill us?
