""Where, oh, where could Jimmy be?"" "What does it mean?" "May I have a look at that?" "No, you may not." "It's mine." "Huh!" "HUBBUB Sir, madam, if you're patient..." "Anyone been looking for me?" "Mr Barnes, as I said before, I will call you if anybody asks for you." "Right." "Well, I'll be in the spa if anyone does want me." "Busy this morning." "You can say that again." "Gino, I need a favour." "I need you to keep your eyes open for someone." "You won't be able to miss him." "He's got this big, ugly, moon-shaped scar on his face." "Doesn't sound like the sort of person would like to meet you in a dark alley." "No!" "He's an old friend, a bit of a joker." "He always likes to surprise me." "Ah." "Anyway, I wanna surprise him this time, so, er...just..." "Count on me." "You shouldn't be on your feet so much." "And you really should think about getting yourself some flats." "Wash your mouth out!" "Right, do you have my water?" "SHE GASPS AND WHINES Darren, I said I wanted fizzy water." "Oh, sorry." "That's all they had." "Here, which do you prefer?"

"He didn't look miserable to me." "I happen to be quite a catch, thank you very much." "Oh, sorry I'm late." "I had to deal with a complaint about housekeeping." "God!" "Don't we all miss Jackie?" "SHE LAUGHS" "Ooh!" "Is that the book that everyone's got?" "Who IS Harold Kelly?" "Bloody hell!" "A bit busy out there." "Is something going on?" "Um, I was just about to say that Harold Kelly was a prolific jewel thief and in 1973, he was arrested right outside the hotel." "He's been in prison ever since." "What did he do, nick the Crown Jewels?" "My Great-Uncle Buck, in Spain, was a notorious thief." "What did he steal, a goat?" "HE SCOFFS A goat!" "27 goats." "Well, Harold died recently, in prison, leaving behind him his autobiography, which he insisted was published posthumously." "It hit the shelves today." "Why are they all walking around with a copy of it?" "It's spooky." "That's where we get to the juicy bit." "You see, just before he was arrested," "Harold stole 12 cut emeralds, which he claims he hid somewhere in the hotel." "And the book contains clues as to where they're hidden." "SHE GASPS" ""Find what's missing from Black Princess Lake" ""and you'll find the treasure, which is yours to take."" "Oh, dear." "Not exactly Yeats, is it?" "SAM LAUGHS It's a hoax." "Do you really think there's buried treasure HERE?" "Doesn't matter." "The books are flying off the shelves, hence all the people out there." "It won't be long before the press hear about this, which is good - free publicity for the hotel." "No, I want to downplay this as much as possible." "Oh, I disagree."

"Let's try not to be too distracted by the treasure." "Anna, today will be quite full-on." "Are you sure you're gonna be OK?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I've got ages to go." "Not really." "You're, what, eight months?" "Yeah, yeah." "Like I said, ages to go." "Well, if it gets too much, just let me know, and don't carry anything heavy... like books." "Sam's right." "All this hoo-ha about hidden gems in the hotel - it's a load of tosh." "If this Kelly chap did hide the gems here all those years ago, surely somebody would have found them by now." "No, but imagine if they were still here and you were the one to find them." "SHE SIGHS Oh, how you could spend the money." "MOBILE PHONE RINGS" "Hello." "Oh, where are you?"

"I need to find somewhere for Mother to stay today." "Your mother?" "My mother is Constance Evergreen." "I assume you've heard of her." "The actress?" "I thought she was..." "Yes, of course I have." "It's a matter of life and death." "She mustn't be left on her own." "There must be someone with her at all times." "That's not really a service that we provide, Mr Evergreen." "Double, triple - you name your price." "Mr Evergreen?" "Sam Franklin, owner." "I think what Ms Miller was saying is that while this is a service we don't normally provide," "I'm sure we can find something your mother will like." "Yes, that is exactly what I was about to say." "And I'm sure that Mr Franklin would like to make sure that your mother has everything she needs, personally." "Mother..." "Mrs Evergreen, welcome to Hotel Babylon." "I don't like the look of you." "You remind me of Errol Flynn." "Bastard!" "Gave me the clap..." "before it was fashionable." "Keep this quiet." "Sure." "Er...you see these boxes here, Dave?" "Can you get them up to the..." "MUTTERS INDISTINCTLY" "Yeah." "Cheers, mate." "Evergreen, like the old actress?" "This is Constance Evergreen, Anna." "SHE LAUGHS Don't be silly." "She's dead." "If she were alive, she'd be, like, really, really, really, really old." "You're like an understudy I once had." "Screwed my husband - the third." "Or was it the fourth?" "I can't remember." "Which was it, Laurence?" "The third one, Mother." "Well, I think I'll leave you in Ms Miller's capable hands." "Um, enjoy your stay, Ms Evergreen." "Not bloody likely." "Sorry, what?" "Nothing." "Now, Mother's a little prickly at first, but lovely when you get to know her." "Whoever you assign to her mustn't let her out of their sight and they must not let her near alcohol." "Mr..." "Four." "Four times the going rate." "We'll make sure that she's supervised at all times." "My!" "But aren't you the spitting image of Dennis Price?" "Am I?" "Thank you." "We should have made Kind Hearts And Coronets together." "Robert Hamer wanted me, of course." "Joan Greenwood was a contemptible whore." "I see." "Still, it meant that we met." "Those were the most wonderful years of my life." "I never forgot you, Denny." "Tony, could I have a word?" "Yes, I can hold." "And then, when you give them your interview, you can let something slip about the emeralds." "You know, accidentally on purpose." "Let's see how busy we can make this place." "Ooh...eek." "Awkward." "Who do I listen to - my boss or my boss's boss?" "Do you generally just vocalise every thought?" "Oh." "Did I just say that out loud?" "Mmm." "Mmm." "Turn." "Ah!" "SHE SLURPS" "SHE BELCHES Oh." "PHONE RINGS" "PHONE CONTINUES RINGING" "Front desk." "Ben speaking." "Arthur Barnes' room, please." "I'm sorry, Mr Barnes isn't answering." "Would you like to leave a mes...?" "DIALLING TONE Hello?"

"Did you see the woman in this room?" "Who could miss her?" "HE CHUCKLES One day I would like the love of a woman like that." "HE LAUGHS For a couple of hours." "THEY BOTH LAUGH" "Never underestimate the love of a good woman - best thing in the world." "I spent 15 years with the love of my life, my Rita." "Passed away recently." "Oh, Arthur, I'm so sorry." "Don't be." "You know the old saying." "Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." "It's very true." "I wouldn't trade a moment of my time with Rita." "LIFT DINGS Oh." "Let's split up." "HIGH-PITCHED WHINING" "WHINING CONTINUES" "Oi!" "Come on, out of there." "Come on." "This is hotel property!" "Out of bounds." "Unfortunately, there is absolutely no evidence to back up the claims that Mr Kelly made in his autobiography." "So you're saying it's nothing more than a publicity stunt?" "Over the last 35 years, this hotel has undergone several periods of major renovation, so if Mr Kelly did hide the jewels, then I'm afraid they're long gone." "Emily James, thank you very much." "Thank you." "Cut there." "Thanks, Emily." "It'll make the lunchtime news." "Thanks, Dustin." "Um..." "You didn't hear this from me, but the jewels may be more real than I made out." "Thank you." "Phew." "Why did you never reply to my letters, Denny?" "Er..." "I never got any." "I was always moving around a lot, you know." "Oh, look at this for timing!" "Oh, I was incredible in this." "I should have got top billing, of course." "Have you got everything you need?" "Oh, you're always so good to me, Denny." "Now, I've got to run a little errand, so I'm going to nip out." "But I need you to promise me that you're going to stay here." "Haven't I always done everything you asked, Denny?" "Remember Brighton?" "SHE LAUGHS" "How could you forget?" "THEY BOTH CHUCKLE" "DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES" "I've been keeping my eyes open, Arthur, but I haven't seen anything of your friend." "You know, the joker with the scar." "I thought he'd be here by now." "I really want it over and done with." "Want what over and done with?" "Hmm?" "I've said too much." "I shouldn't." "No, no, no, please." "Arthur, discretion and Gino Primarola go together like roast beef and Yorkshire pie." "I mentioned my Rita to you earlier." "Well, technically speaking, she wasn't my Rita, she was already married... to the kind of man you don't divorce." "A Catholic." "A gangster." "Gary Pointer." "Ooh!" "Of course I've heard of him." "The "Shy Don", they call him - because he never comes out of his house." "That's right, hasn't come out in 15 years - not since the day his wife ran off with her driving instructor." "Ah." "You're the driving instructor?" "But what has that got to do with your friend with the scar?" "The man with the scar isn't my friend." "He works for Rita's husband." "And when he gets here..." "he'll take me to him." "He's going to take you to him?" "But he's a dangerous man." "He going to..." "Rita and I were living in Australia till she passed away." "Before I left, I settled all me debts and I was left with a grand total of £28,391, and I'm gonna spend every last penny." "I don't need money any more, you see, Gino." "I've come home to die." "But, Arthur, there's so much to live for." "Not for me." "The joke's on him, see?" "I'm already dying." "The big C." "Oh." "Arthur..." "I'm sorry." "They say the last six months are the worst." "(I don't wanna live through that." "Would you?" ")" "No." "OK, thank you." "Bye." "I'm not interrupting anything, am I?" "Yes." "I can't believe people are falling for this rubbish."

")" "SHE SIGHS If I could just..." "If I could just work it out." "Do you know how hard it is being surrounded by wealth every day and knowing I could spend it so much better than any of these plebs?" "SHE GASPS DRAMATICALLY Actually, that's quite clever." "What's actually quite clever?" "Well, it's the Doors." "The band." "John Densmore, Robby Krieger, Ray Manzarek," "Jimmy" " Jim" " Morrison, the lead singer...who died." "SHE GASPS" "So he's like a lost Door." "We're looking for a lost door!" "Sam, you're a genius." "Yeah." "But where is it?" "How are we going to find a lost door?" "WE?" "!" "I solved the clue." "It's my book." "SHE GASPS" "Oh!" "SHE PANTS" "Are you OK?" "Oh, yeah." "Just a...just a moment of excruciating agony, and it eventually ebbs away." "Can I do anything?" "Yeah, actually, could you keep an eye on the desk till Ben gets back?" "Thank you very much." "Er..." "Anna..." "I'm busy." "I need to speak to you, and it's very important, so could you meet me down here at two o'clock?" "Why are you being so mysterious?" "What do you know about the treasure?"

"Oh, my God, you found it!" "Shh!" "Shh!" "The first clue was about a lost door." "There is a lost door in the wine cellar." "There was a picture of it right there, all along!"

"And he say, "When you have eliminated the impossible, my dear Watson," ""whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."" "So I think, "Who remains that is still involved?""

"Maybe she doesn't want you to die yet." "Are you saying that the woman I love is protecting me from beyond the grave?" "Well stranger things have happened, Arthur." "Give me the gun."
