00:01:41:Don't mourn for Joe Strombel. 00:01:44:Joe Strombel led a full life. 00:01:48:A newspaperman|in the best tradition. 00:01:51:A great credit|to the fourth estate. 00:01:54:It didn't matter if the bombs|in the war zone were falling. 00:01:57:It didn't matter how high up|the political scandal went, 00:02:01:or how many big corporations... 00:02:04:or small-time racketeers|leaned on him. 00:02:07:Whatever the risk,|if there was a story there, 00:02:11:Joe went after it.|And he usually got it. 00:02:15:Well, I was with him when|the story broke about Prince Charles, 00:02:18:and that made him persona non grata|with the Royal Family. 00:02:20:Except with Diana.|They always remained good friends. 00:02:23:He did love a woman. 00:02:26:Hey, did you know he started|as a police reporter? 00:02:28:- Did he?|- Yeah, he was a bloody good one. 00:02:29:One of the best.|Maybe the best. 00:02:31:I got trapped with Joe once|in Afghanistan. 00:02:34:Yeah? 00:02:35:And we were going to be shot|by the Taliban, until... 00:02:38:...typically, Joe found|someone to bribe 00:02:40:So we could escape. 00:02:42:- Not with his own money, though.|- No, he got it on expenses. 00:02:45:- Plus 10%.|- Ten percent. 00:02:46:But it did involve us|getting out wearing burkas. 00:02:50:And, well, we lived|to write another day. 00:02:52:Everyone loved him.|Yeah. 00:02:54:Not always at|British intelligence. 00:02:56:No, but he got the information|before anyone else. 00:02:58:Yeah, he did. That's right.|Not Richard Nixon, though. 00:03:01:Well, wherever you are now, Joe.|It won't be the same without you, mate. 00:03:05:To Joe.|Joe Strombel. 00:03:29:Where are we headed? 00:03:35:Does this|mean anything to you? 00:03:49:He doesn't give answers.|Tried it. 00:03:52:Joe Strombel.|Coronary thrombosis. 00:03:55:Jane Cook. 00:03:57:So, what do you do?|Reporter. 00:04:00:Hmm.|You? 00:04:02:I'm... Well, I was personal secretary|to Peter Lyman. 00:04:07:Lord Lyman's son.|Yes, impressive young man. 00:04:10:You knew him?|No, only by reputation. 00:04:12:But I like what I know. 00:04:14:I think he's got|a real future in politics. 00:04:18:How did you die? 00:04:21:I think I was poisoned. 00:04:23:You think? 00:04:25:Why? 00:04:27:I believe I was poisoned 00:04:28:because I was on the verge of|confirming a terrible suspicion. 00:04:32:Yes?|What suspicion is that? 00:04:36:That Peter Lyman|is the serial killer 00:04:38:known to the police|as the Tarot Card Killer. 00:04:42:What? 00:04:44:I assume|you're aware of that case? 00:04:45:I wrote an article two years ago,|when the Tarot killings first started. 00:04:49:But Peter Lyman? My God. 00:04:52:What on earth|made you suspect 00:04:53:this rich, young handsome,|above-reproach citizen? 00:04:56:You remember the last murder?|The police found a clue. 00:04:59:Yes, a cufflink. I read about it in|the paper. Unusual antique, wasn't it? 00:05:03:Yep.|Very rare Art Deco. 00:05:06:Peter had the exact pair. 00:05:09:So could have|the Tarot Killer. 00:05:11:The world is full|of coincidences. 00:05:13:Yeah, except I noticed|that Peter only had one left. 00:05:16:He'd lost the other. 00:05:19:Still, 00:05:21:although|it's a tantalizing thought. 00:05:23:Did you inform the police,|or was that too sticky? 00:05:25:I didn't know what to do,|so I phoned my lawyer 00:05:27:and I asked his advice on|whether to report it or not. 00:05:30:And I thought I heard this click|on the phone... 00:05:34:...like someone|had been listening. 00:05:36:Later that day, after tea, 00:05:39:I died suddenly. 00:05:45:That is suspicious. 00:05:50:My God, Peter Lyman. 00:05:53:Hard to believe, but if he did turn out|to be the Tarot Killer... 00:05:56:what a story. 00:05:57:I knew you'd appreciate it|when you said you were a reporter. 00:06:00:This would be a dynamite scoop.|And I got it first. 00:06:03:Unfortunately, where you're headed|there is no first. 00:06:06:There's only last. 00:06:19:{y:i}Mr. Tinsley!|Loved your last picture. 00:06:20:{y:i}You really have a way with actors. 00:06:22:{y:i}Think you could maybe...|Please wait! 00:06:25:Mr. Tinsley?|Yeah. 00:06:27:Sondra Pransky.|Who? 00:06:31:Sondra Pransky.|I'm the journalism student from Adair. 00:06:34:I wrote to you about getting|an interview for the school newspaper. 00:06:36:Oh... 00:06:38:And you...well, your secretary,|actually...because...
