1
00:01:42,694 --> 00:01:44,695
Oh, may I go into the house, Sergeant?

2
00:01:44,696 --> 00:01:47,531
Of course. You're beyond
suspicion, Miss Marple.

3
00:01:47,532 --> 00:01:49,942
Oh, nobody is beyond suspicion.

4
00:02:06,551 --> 00:02:07,935
Morning.

5
00:02:08,845 --> 00:02:11,180
Oh, forgive my disturbing you,
Miss Blacklock,

6
00:02:11,181 --> 00:02:13,515
but the vicar had a dying parishioner

7
00:02:13,516 --> 00:02:16,060
and Mrs. Harmon has had to
rush a child to hospital,

8
00:02:16,061 --> 00:02:17,895
so they asked me to deliver that to you.

9
00:02:17,896 --> 00:02:19,897
Thank you, Miss Marple. Do sit down.

10
00:02:19,898 --> 00:02:22,565
- Oh, thank you.

11
00:02:22,776 --> 00:02:26,211
It concerns the funeral arrangements,
I believe.

12
00:02:26,404 --> 00:02:27,788
Yes, of course.

13
00:02:30,158 --> 00:02:32,363
And if there are any messages...

14
00:02:35,372 --> 00:02:38,082
The vicar is a very understanding man.

15
00:02:38,083 --> 00:02:40,390
No fatuous consolation.

16
00:02:41,336 --> 00:02:44,208
Please tell him the arrangements
will do very well.

17
00:02:44,464 --> 00:02:48,105
Bunny's favorite hymn was
<i>Lead, Kindly Light.</i>

18
00:02:51,596 --> 00:02:57,096
I realize that I am only a stranger,
but I am so very, very sorry.

19
00:03:19,332 --> 00:03:23,332
I've just realized what I've lost.

20
00:03:24,421 --> 00:03:27,651
Bunny was the only link with the past.

21
00:03:27,757 --> 00:03:32,475
The only one who remembered.

22
00:03:33,388 --> 00:03:34,874
MISS MARPLE: I know.

23
00:03:35,265 --> 00:03:39,470
One is quite alone when the last one
who remembers is gone.

24
00:03:42,814 --> 00:03:45,840
I have kind nephews and nieces and...

25
00:03:45,859 --> 00:03:51,359
And friends, but no one who
remembers the old days.

26
00:03:52,407 --> 00:03:55,159
You're a very understanding woman,
Miss Marple, and I...

27
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:56,851
I thank you for it.

28
00:03:59,247 --> 00:04:02,991
I must write
a few lines to the vicar.

29
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,794
The police.

30
00:04:19,851 --> 00:04:21,594
MISS BLACKLOCK: Thank you, Hannah.

31
00:04:22,145 --> 00:04:25,189
Good morning, Miss Blacklock,
Miss Marple.

32
00:04:25,190 --> 00:04:27,816
Miss Marple dropped in with
a note from the vicar.

33
00:04:27,817 --> 00:04:30,486
But I'm on my way quite quickly now.

34
00:04:30,487 --> 00:04:33,113
Unless there are any questions
you'd like to ask me?

35
00:04:33,114 --> 00:04:35,741
Were you at the tea party
yesterday afternoon?

36
00:04:35,742 --> 00:04:37,792
No, no I was not.

37
00:04:38,745 --> 00:04:41,925
Then there's nothing you can tell me.

38
00:04:55,261 --> 00:04:57,638
She really did come with
a note from the vicar.

39
00:04:57,639 --> 00:05:01,023
And I really do recognize
a nosey parker when I see one.

40
00:05:02,352 --> 00:05:06,030
I won't waste time offering sympathy,
Miss Blacklock.

41
00:05:06,031 --> 00:05:07,689
I hope you'll take that for granted.

42
00:05:07,690 --> 00:05:10,859
I feel very badly about
Miss Bunner's death.

43
00:05:10,860 --> 00:05:12,194
We should have prevented it.

44
00:05:12,195 --> 00:05:13,987
I don't see what you could have done.

45
00:05:13,988 --> 00:05:16,532
There were lethal tablets in
a bottle at your bedside,

46
00:05:16,533 --> 00:05:19,045
and we'd been
guarding the house for days.

47
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,329
You could hardly have searched
everyone who came to the house.

48
00:05:22,330 --> 00:05:24,227
I suppose not.

49
00:05:25,208 --> 00:05:27,292
At any rate, whoever it is
has tried to shoot you,

50
00:05:27,293 --> 00:05:29,447
and tried to poison you, so who is it?

51
00:05:31,256 --> 00:05:35,102
I haven't the faintest idea, Inspector.

52
00:05:36,177 --> 00:05:38,331
Let me offer some suggestions.

53
00:05:38,555 --> 00:05:41,375
I went to Scotland
and talked to Belle Goedler.

54
00:05:41,558 --> 00:05:46,071
The only people who can benefit
by your death are Pip and Emma.

55
00:05:46,146 --> 00:05:48,564
I thought Patrick and Julia
were likely contenders

56
00:05:48,565 --> 00:05:51,385
- but we've checked their backgrounds...
- You've what?

57
00:05:51,943 --> 00:05:54,250
That's my job, Miss Blacklock.

58
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,697
Oh, yes, of course, I'm sorry.

59
00:05:56,698 --> 00:05:59,449
And it's clear that
Patrick and Julia Simmons

60
00:05:59,450 --> 00:06:01,450
are exactly who they claim to be.

61
00:06:01,995 --> 00:06:05,372
So, I then thought about their
mother, Sonia Stamfordis.

62
00:06:05,373 --> 00:06:07,168
Goedler's sister.

63
00:06:07,917 --> 00:06:12,482
Tell me, would you recognize her,
if you saw her?

64
00:06:12,630 --> 00:06:16,067
Oh. Yes, I suppose I would.

65
00:06:16,509 --> 00:06:18,868
Although it's 30 years since I saw her.

66
00:06:19,387 --> 00:06:22,105
She must be an elderly woman by now.

67
00:06:23,766 --> 00:06:25,355
How do you remember her?

68
00:06:26,686 --> 00:06:30,071
Oh, she was small, dark,

69
00:06:30,690 --> 00:06:33,100
a very lively young woman.

70
00:06:34,444 --> 00:06:38,290
She'll be gray and weary by now,
like the rest of us.

71
00:06:39,824 --> 00:06:44,696
Well, there is no shortage of
elderly ladies in Chipping Cleghorn.

72
00:06:46,831 --> 00:06:50,959
You're suggesting that Sonia
is living somewhere in this village

73
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,601
under an assumed name?

74
00:06:53,796 --> 00:06:56,207
I have to examine the possibility.

75
00:06:56,466 --> 00:06:59,134
I can think of three women
who match in terms of age,

76
00:06:59,135 --> 00:07:01,845
Mrs. Swettenham, Miss Murgatroyd
and Miss Hinchcliffe.

77
00:07:01,846 --> 00:07:04,223
...All three were here yesterday,

78
00:07:04,224 --> 00:07:05,974
as they were
on the night of the shooting.

79
00:07:05,975 --> 00:07:08,518
The whole idea is ludicrous, Inspector.

80
00:07:08,519 --> 00:07:10,980
Help me to prove it, Miss Blacklock.

81
00:07:11,981 --> 00:07:14,288
Do you have a photograph of Sonia?

82
00:07:15,026 --> 00:07:17,948
Only very old photographs.

83
00:07:18,446 --> 00:07:22,324
They're in an album
in the attic somewhere, I think.

84
00:07:22,325 --> 00:07:23,760
May I see them?

85
00:07:24,244 --> 00:07:28,244
Julia's in the house somewhere.
Ask her to show you.

86
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,424
Thank you.

87
00:07:31,251 --> 00:07:34,127
It's terribly dusty, I'm afraid,
and full of junk.

88
00:07:34,128 --> 00:07:36,129
At the moment, I have a brain like that.

89
00:07:36,130 --> 00:07:38,387
JULIA: We keep meaning
to clear it out.

90
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,518
So do I, Miss Simmons. So do I.

91
00:07:44,097 --> 00:07:46,712
I'm sure the photograph album's in here.

92
00:07:48,059 --> 00:07:50,622
Patrick found it when we first arrived.

93
00:07:50,687 --> 00:07:54,994
We wallowed in nostalgia
and laughed at the silly hats.

94
00:07:57,485 --> 00:08:01,537
God, look at all this.

95
00:08:02,323 --> 00:08:04,990
Aunt Letty just won't throw
anything away.

96
00:08:06,953 --> 00:08:09,568
Are you familiar
with your family history?

97
00:08:09,706 --> 00:08:11,346
I suppose so.

98
00:08:11,374 --> 00:08:15,272
Most of it's pretty boring,
but if I can be of any assistance.

99
00:08:19,465 --> 00:08:22,467
Were these photographs missing
when you looked at the album?

100
00:08:22,468 --> 00:08:23,801
No.

101
00:08:26,389 --> 00:08:28,080
Nothing was missing.

102
00:08:28,599 --> 00:08:31,310
Sonia, self and R.G.

103
00:08:31,311 --> 00:08:33,054
R.G., Randall Goedler.

104
00:08:34,022 --> 00:08:36,732
Sonia and Belle on beach,

105
00:08:36,733 --> 00:08:38,400
picnic at Skeyne,

106
00:08:38,401 --> 00:08:42,904
Charlotte, self, Sonia, R.G.

107
00:08:42,905 --> 00:08:44,340
May I?

108
00:08:55,460 --> 00:08:57,818
All the pictures of Sonia have gone.

109
00:08:59,797 --> 00:09:01,715
I suppose it's a sort of a clue,
isn't it?

110
00:09:01,716 --> 00:09:02,946
Mmm.

111
00:09:04,510 --> 00:09:06,356
Definitely a sort of clue.

112
00:09:15,938 --> 00:09:19,441
Do you think your aunt would mind
if I looked around for more?

113
00:09:19,442 --> 00:09:23,132
I'm sure you don't need a warrant to
protect someone from being murdered.

114
00:09:25,114 --> 00:09:27,884
Bearing in mind
we've failed twice already.

115
00:09:33,456 --> 00:09:34,994
Shall I leave you?

116
00:09:35,249 --> 00:09:37,351
In case you wish to be indiscreet?

117
00:09:38,586 --> 00:09:40,688
Thank you.

118
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:01,128
It's a breach of confidence,
Miss Marple,

119
00:10:01,234 --> 00:10:02,901
but I'd like you to read these.

120
00:10:02,902 --> 00:10:05,821
Oh, oh, very... Oh, thank you, yes.

121
00:10:05,822 --> 00:10:10,242
I love breaches of confidence.
They're such fun.

122
00:10:10,243 --> 00:10:12,452
I sometimes wish I'd married a priest.

123
00:10:12,453 --> 00:10:13,991
Oh, my dear.

124
00:10:14,539 --> 00:10:16,641
Except it's impossible, of course.

125
00:10:17,834 --> 00:10:21,044
- And, er, have you read these?
- Yes.

126
00:10:21,045 --> 00:10:23,301
What conclusions did you come to?

127
00:10:23,756 --> 00:10:26,675
Miss Blacklock was devoted
to her sister.

128
00:10:26,676 --> 00:10:29,177
Wrote to her two or three times a week,

129
00:10:29,178 --> 00:10:33,223
and their father was a tyrant,
an old-fashioned Victorian doctor

130
00:10:33,224 --> 00:10:35,685
who couldn't stand new ideas.

131
00:10:36,269 --> 00:10:38,854
Probably killed hundreds
of his patients.

132
00:10:38,855 --> 00:10:44,355
I think I rather prefer
old-fashioned doctors to young doctors.

133
00:10:45,194 --> 00:10:49,948
They remove our teeth,
administer very peculiar glands,

134
00:10:49,949 --> 00:10:53,452
take bits of our inside out and then
say they can do nothing for us.

135
00:10:53,453 --> 00:10:58,018
Generally because there's very little
of the original us left.

136
00:10:58,541 --> 00:11:02,644
No, I prefer old-fashioned medicine.

137
00:11:02,670 --> 00:11:05,592
Big black bottles, you know,

138
00:11:05,756 --> 00:11:09,859
of tonic, because you can always
pour them down the sink.

139
00:11:10,219 --> 00:11:13,847
Oh, did you trace the revolver
that shot that young man?

140
00:11:13,848 --> 00:11:15,807
It belonged to Colonel Easterbrook.

141
00:11:15,808 --> 00:11:19,811
Yes. Mrs. Butt told me
the colonel has a revolver.

142
00:11:19,812 --> 00:11:23,351
There's some confusion about
when it was taken.

143
00:11:25,776 --> 00:11:28,904
Did Miss Blacklock's sister
die of consumption?

144
00:11:28,905 --> 00:11:30,363
I believe so.

145
00:11:30,364 --> 00:11:32,866
We know she was in a Swiss sanatorium.

146
00:11:32,867 --> 00:11:34,075
Oh, really?

147
00:11:34,076 --> 00:11:36,912
I mean, fancy using
the colonel's revolver.

148
00:11:36,913 --> 00:11:41,015
Yes, but I don't think Colonel
Easterbrook is Sonia Goedler.

149
00:11:41,667 --> 00:11:45,670
All we know about Sonia
is that she was small and dark,

150
00:11:45,671 --> 00:11:48,298
with something of a temper,
according to those letters.

151
00:11:48,299 --> 00:11:53,376
Oh, yes, oh, these are fascinating,
even if they are a breach of confidence.

152
00:11:53,930 --> 00:11:56,556
I'll leave those with you till
tomorrow, if that's all right?

153
00:11:56,557 --> 00:11:58,968
Oh, thank you. If you would, yes.

154
00:12:00,311 --> 00:12:04,105
I think we're destined for
several hours of fascinated silence.

155
00:12:04,106 --> 00:12:07,859
No, my dear,
I shall prattle on non-stop.

156
00:12:07,860 --> 00:12:11,279
Oh, by the way, is
Miss Blacklock short-sighted?

157
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,282
Yes, but too proud to wear spectacles.

158
00:12:14,283 --> 00:12:17,410
When she comes to church
she sings the hymns she knows by heart

159
00:12:17,411 --> 00:12:19,371
and la-la's her way through the others.

160
00:12:19,372 --> 00:12:20,858
Really?

161
00:12:21,123 --> 00:12:23,792
- I'll see you to the door, Inspector.

162
00:12:23,793 --> 00:12:26,753
- Do be careful, Delilah!
- Delilah?

163
00:12:26,754 --> 00:12:29,256
Yes my husband christened her that.

164
00:12:29,257 --> 00:12:33,205
I'm very much afraid her
moral standards are similar.

165
00:12:56,909 --> 00:13:01,162
Oh, Aunt Jane, I'm sure you
can't see properly.

166
00:13:01,163 --> 00:13:04,165
Well, I do seem
a little cluttered don't I?

167
00:13:04,166 --> 00:13:05,750
Let's get you properly organized.

168
00:13:05,751 --> 00:13:07,669
Well, shouldn't there be
a switch up here.

169
00:13:07,670 --> 00:13:10,338
It's on the flex. Oh, Delilah!

170
00:13:10,339 --> 00:13:12,954
You silly cat!

171
00:13:13,509 --> 00:13:17,637
Oh, oh, my dear, oh, what have I done?

172
00:13:17,638 --> 00:13:20,890
Oh, it's all right Aunt Jane.
It's not your fault,

173
00:13:20,891 --> 00:13:23,250
it's Delilah's. Oh.

174
00:13:23,519 --> 00:13:29,019
Probably fused all the lights in here
now thanks to her. What a nuisance!

175
00:13:30,484 --> 00:13:32,997
No, it isn't a nuisance.

176
00:13:33,195 --> 00:13:35,697
- It's wonderful!
- Oh, look!

177
00:13:35,698 --> 00:13:38,742
You can see, where she's been
chewing at the flex.

178
00:13:38,743 --> 00:13:41,050
That's why it fused.

179
00:13:41,912 --> 00:13:44,456
With the assistance of a shepherdess...

180
00:13:44,457 --> 00:13:47,124
What are you talking about?

181
00:13:47,877 --> 00:13:49,466
Murder, my dear.

182
00:13:50,463 --> 00:13:55,540
And I won't have a word said
against that remarkable cat.

183
00:14:13,402 --> 00:14:14,861
I think you told me, Mrs. Haymes,

184
00:14:14,862 --> 00:14:17,580
your husband was killed,
fighting in Italy.

185
00:14:17,948 --> 00:14:19,366
That's right.

186
00:14:19,367 --> 00:14:22,854
It isn't true. He was a deserter.

187
00:14:23,663 --> 00:14:25,149
I know.

188
00:14:25,706 --> 00:14:27,244
You should have told me.

189
00:14:27,291 --> 00:14:30,293
Do you have to rake up
the dirt about everybody?

190
00:14:30,294 --> 00:14:34,756
Yes, I do, and it's amazing how
many people are able to provide it, too.

191
00:14:35,424 --> 00:14:37,680
I don't want my son to know.

192
00:14:39,178 --> 00:14:41,382
I don't tell him lies about his father.

193
00:14:42,431 --> 00:14:44,738
I just don't talk about him at all.

194
00:14:45,810 --> 00:14:49,040
Silence isn't quite the same
as telling lies.

195
00:14:51,107 --> 00:14:53,358
You were seen speaking to a man
in the summerhouse

196
00:14:53,359 --> 00:14:56,111
the week of the shooting.
Was it your husband?

197
00:14:56,112 --> 00:15:00,073
- I didn't talk to anybody.
- Did he come to you for money?

198
00:15:00,074 --> 00:15:01,908
I haven't seen my husband for years.

199
00:15:01,909 --> 00:15:03,396
You're sure about that?

200
00:15:10,167 --> 00:15:14,835
Silence can be exactly the same
as telling lies, Mrs. Haymes.

201
00:15:22,805 --> 00:15:26,808
RYDESDALE: Yes. Is this intended
to clarify the problem?

202
00:15:26,809 --> 00:15:30,645
Yes. Three people can benefit
from Miss Blacklock's death,

203
00:15:30,646 --> 00:15:32,021
Sonia Stamfordis,

204
00:15:32,022 --> 00:15:34,232
- or her children, Pip and Emma.
- Mmm-hmm.

205
00:15:34,233 --> 00:15:36,985
These are the people who match
in terms of age and sex.

206
00:15:36,986 --> 00:15:39,487
Mrs. Swettenham, Miss Hinchcliffe
and Miss Murgatroyd

207
00:15:39,488 --> 00:15:40,697
for the older generation.

208
00:15:40,698 --> 00:15:44,242
Patrick Simmons, Julia Simmons,
Phillipa Haymes, Edmund Swettenham,

209
00:15:44,243 --> 00:15:45,702
Mrs. Harmon...

210
00:15:45,703 --> 00:15:49,289
At least you've had the decency
to put a query beside the vicar's wife.

211
00:15:49,290 --> 00:15:53,293
Yes, she's strictly on the older side.
Plus the Easterbrooks.

212
00:15:53,294 --> 00:15:55,806
- The Colonel had a pistol.
- Had?

213
00:15:55,963 --> 00:15:57,881
It went missing the week of the murder.

214
00:15:57,882 --> 00:15:59,316
Why didn't he report it?

215
00:15:59,675 --> 00:16:02,177
- Didn't notice at the time.
- Ah.

216
00:16:02,178 --> 00:16:04,512
His wife swears it disappeared
after the murder.

217
00:16:04,513 --> 00:16:07,974
My honest opinion is she's
lying to protect her husband.

218
00:16:07,975 --> 00:16:10,897
Needlessly, because I think
he's a nincompoop.

219
00:16:11,061 --> 00:16:13,574
Would you like my honest opinion?

220
00:16:13,856 --> 00:16:16,163
I need all the help
you can give me, sir.

221
00:16:16,734 --> 00:16:20,361
A murder was committed in the
presence of a group of people.

222
00:16:20,362 --> 00:16:23,031
By logical deduction you have
proved that the likely murderer

223
00:16:23,032 --> 00:16:24,621
was a member of that group.

224
00:16:24,867 --> 00:16:27,619
- Well, I think we already knew that.

225
00:16:27,620 --> 00:16:29,260
Come in.

226
00:16:30,206 --> 00:16:33,282
Er, sir, I thought you should see this.

227
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,569
- I knew she was lying.
- Who?

228
00:16:44,678 --> 00:16:48,389
10 days ago a chap got knocked down
and killed by a lorry in Milchester,

229
00:16:48,390 --> 00:16:51,392
no papers on him,
nobody reported him missing,

230
00:16:51,393 --> 00:16:54,437
he's just been identified
as Ronald Haymes.

231
00:16:54,438 --> 00:16:56,439
Ex-captain in the South Loamshire.

232
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,399
Phillipa Haymes' husband.

233
00:16:58,400 --> 00:16:59,835
It seems like it.

234
00:17:00,402 --> 00:17:04,322
He had some money on him,
and a Chipping Cleghorn bus ticket.

235
00:17:04,323 --> 00:17:06,115
Oh, what date was the accident?

236
00:17:06,116 --> 00:17:07,867
It was the day before the murder, sir.

237
00:17:07,868 --> 00:17:09,285
I took note of that.

238
00:17:09,286 --> 00:17:12,580
And with respect sir, I think we
should take note of how he died.

239
00:17:12,581 --> 00:17:13,665
What do you mean by that?

240
00:17:13,666 --> 00:17:17,585
He ran into the road to push a little
kiddie out of the way of the lorry, sir.

241
00:17:17,586 --> 00:17:19,842
- I see.
- I mean, a good death.

242
00:17:20,673 --> 00:17:22,570
Uh, as death goes, sir.

243
00:17:22,883 --> 00:17:24,780
Yes, we've taken note, Sergeant.

244
00:17:37,606 --> 00:17:41,504
Phillipa. I just heard about... Well...

245
00:17:43,571 --> 00:17:48,443
Just say the name.
He can't hurt anybody.

246
00:17:48,868 --> 00:17:51,124
Your husband. I...

247
00:18:02,590 --> 00:18:05,564
- Do we have to go through it again?
- Yes.

248
00:18:05,634 --> 00:18:07,594
Because whoever bumped off Rudi Scherz

249
00:18:07,595 --> 00:18:10,889
did the same to poor old Dora Bunner
and I take exception to that.

250
00:18:10,890 --> 00:18:12,428
Well, of course.

251
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,907
It could be any one of us next,
and I'd take exception to that as well.

252
00:18:17,438 --> 00:18:18,718
Now then,

253
00:18:19,815 --> 00:18:23,026
everybody who was at the shooting party
was also at the birthday tea,

254
00:18:23,027 --> 00:18:25,528
except for Mrs. Harmon,
so that lets her out.

255
00:18:25,529 --> 00:18:26,988
Well, I should think so, too.

256
00:18:26,989 --> 00:18:28,886
And I think it's a man doing this,

257
00:18:30,993 --> 00:18:34,069
because we all know
what dirty dogs men are.

258
00:18:36,082 --> 00:18:38,666
Well, anybody could have
put the tablets in the aspirin bottle

259
00:18:38,667 --> 00:18:40,359
the day of Dora's party.

260
00:18:40,628 --> 00:18:41,753
Anybody? How?

261
00:18:41,754 --> 00:18:43,599
We all went to the loo, didn't we?

262
00:18:43,831 --> 00:18:45,798
All that tea and sherry
they poured down us,

263
00:18:45,799 --> 00:18:47,717
you'd have had to be
superhuman not to go.

264
00:18:47,718 --> 00:18:50,949
So, back to the first murder.

265
00:18:51,013 --> 00:18:55,683
Now, that little Swiss idiot
comes in here, stands here,

266
00:18:55,684 --> 00:18:58,478
- waves his torch around.
- And the revolver.

267
00:18:58,479 --> 00:19:02,482
No. Not the revolver.
Somebody else had the revolver.

268
00:19:02,483 --> 00:19:04,893
Now, I'm the Swiss idiot.

269
00:19:10,032 --> 00:19:11,314
Where were you?

270
00:19:12,534 --> 00:19:15,560
- I can't remember.
- Of course, you can remember!

271
00:19:17,706 --> 00:19:19,245
I was behind the door.

272
00:19:19,875 --> 00:19:23,461
When it opened, it knocked my toe,
and hurt my corn.

273
00:19:23,462 --> 00:19:25,713
When are you going to go to
a proper chiropodist?

274
00:19:25,714 --> 00:19:30,051
You'll give yourself blood poisoning
the way you poke around at your feet.

275
00:19:30,052 --> 00:19:32,308
Now come and stand behind the door.

276
00:19:35,307 --> 00:19:37,872
Mind your toe.

277
00:19:39,812 --> 00:19:43,898
Now, I'm leaning against the mantelpiece
with my tongue hanging out

278
00:19:43,899 --> 00:19:46,859
waiting for a drink.
Whoever does the shooting

279
00:19:46,860 --> 00:19:50,571
has to slip out into the hallway
through the other door.

280
00:19:50,572 --> 00:19:51,823
There isn't another door.

281
00:19:51,824 --> 00:19:56,389
Not here there isn't,
but at Little Paddocks there is.

282
00:19:59,748 --> 00:20:04,085
Now, think. Who could you see?

283
00:20:04,086 --> 00:20:09,586
More important, Amy Murgatroyd,
who wasn't there?

284
00:20:11,260 --> 00:20:14,440
You're standing behind the torch,

285
00:20:14,596 --> 00:20:17,673
you see a series of faces.

286
00:20:21,353 --> 00:20:25,558
I remember Mrs. Harmon sitting
on the arm of the chair

287
00:20:26,775 --> 00:20:29,699
and Dora Bunner with her mouth open.

288
00:20:32,072 --> 00:20:33,559
And...

289
00:20:38,120 --> 00:20:39,709
That's extraordinary.

290
00:20:41,707 --> 00:20:44,887
...Damn and blast!

291
00:20:45,335 --> 00:20:48,671
Hello, Hinchcliffe.
Make sure you don't forget.

292
00:20:48,672 --> 00:20:49,797
<i>- Hello.</i>
- Hello.

293
00:20:49,798 --> 00:20:51,357
<i>- Hello, Miss Hinchcliffe.</i>
- Speaking.

294
00:20:51,358 --> 00:20:53,025
<i>- Your dog's arrived.</i>
- What?

295
00:20:53,026 --> 00:20:55,486
<i>He came on the milk train</i>
<i>earlier this morning...</i>

296
00:20:55,763 --> 00:20:59,015
- Do you realize what time it is, now?
<i>- It's about 5:15.</i>

297
00:20:59,016 --> 00:21:01,066
Oh, never mind.

298
00:21:01,143 --> 00:21:04,682
I might have guessed it would be
somebody else's fault.

299
00:21:05,814 --> 00:21:07,455
The dog's arrived.

300
00:21:08,150 --> 00:21:10,252
Came on the milk train,

301
00:21:10,319 --> 00:21:13,139
damn fools didn't think we'd be up yet.

302
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,575
Can't stand people doing
my thinking for me.

303
00:21:17,576 --> 00:21:19,371
Damn fools.

304
00:21:23,457 --> 00:21:26,688
But don't you want to know
what it is I've remembered?

305
00:21:27,211 --> 00:21:30,236
We'll carry on when I get back.
Don't forget!

306
00:21:30,881 --> 00:21:33,883
Don't you realize, she wasn't there!

307
00:21:33,884 --> 00:21:35,371
Don't forget.

308
00:21:38,055 --> 00:21:40,259
She wasn't there!

309
00:21:52,361 --> 00:21:55,613
<i>♫ Got no diamonds, got no pearls</i>

310
00:21:55,614 --> 00:21:59,826
<i>♫ Still I think</i>
<i>I'm a lucky girl</i>

311
00:21:59,827 --> 00:22:03,981
<i>♫ Got the sun in the morning</i>
<i>and the moon at night</i>

312
00:22:29,273 --> 00:22:34,350
Oh, do go in, you'll get wet.
I'll only be two minutes.

313
00:22:38,031 --> 00:22:43,531
<i>♫ Sunshine, give me a sunny day</i>

314
00:22:50,544 --> 00:22:53,416
<i>♫ Give me the milky way</i>

315
00:22:56,008 --> 00:22:59,468
<i>♫ Oh, with the sun in the morning</i>
<i>and the moon at night</i>

316
00:22:59,469 --> 00:23:04,969
<i>♫ I'm all right ♫</i>

317
00:23:20,991 --> 00:23:22,734
Miss Marple!

318
00:23:23,660 --> 00:23:26,275
- Oh.
- Hop in, Miss Marple. You'll get wet.

319
00:23:34,254 --> 00:23:36,561
- Oh, thank you.
- All right?

320
00:23:37,382 --> 00:23:38,758
- Can you manage?
- Yeah.

321
00:23:38,759 --> 00:23:40,143
I'll do that.

322
00:23:40,928 --> 00:23:42,595
- Come and have a cup of coffee.
- Oh.

323
00:23:42,596 --> 00:23:45,468
We'll ring the vicarage
and tell them you're on the town.

324
00:23:47,643 --> 00:23:50,978
Don't mind the dog, will you?
Setters, mad as hatters.

325
00:23:50,979 --> 00:23:54,159
100% heart, 1 % brain.

326
00:24:17,130 --> 00:24:20,054
Murgatroyd! We've got a visitor.

327
00:24:20,342 --> 00:24:25,304
Come on, Miss Marple,
a nice hot steaming cup of coffee.

328
00:24:25,305 --> 00:24:26,894
Better let the dog out.

329
00:24:28,725 --> 00:24:31,227
If Murgatroyd hasn't got the kettle on,
there'll be trouble.

330
00:24:31,228 --> 00:24:34,613
Come on, cutie.

331
00:24:35,190 --> 00:24:36,831
Murgatroyd!

332
00:24:37,985 --> 00:24:40,403
That's her name, Cutie.

333
00:24:40,404 --> 00:24:43,429
Have you ever heard
anything more feeble and wet?

334
00:24:43,865 --> 00:24:45,506
Murgatroyd!

335
00:24:48,787 --> 00:24:51,146
She hasn't finished bringing
the washing in.

336
00:24:53,375 --> 00:24:55,990
Better go and see what that dog's up to.

337
00:24:56,336 --> 00:25:01,363
Must have taken leave of her senses,
such as they are.

338
00:25:12,519 --> 00:25:16,878
Murgatroyd! Come on! Come on! Get...

339
00:25:36,084 --> 00:25:38,391
I'll kill whoever did this.

340
00:25:39,338 --> 00:25:41,235
When I get my hands on her.

341
00:25:43,717 --> 00:25:45,512
We must call the police.

342
00:25:55,645 --> 00:25:57,748
Why did you say "her"?

343
00:26:05,489 --> 00:26:10,361
We'd been playing a silly game,

344
00:26:12,287 --> 00:26:16,237
trying to find out
who shot that Swiss boy.

345
00:26:19,294 --> 00:26:20,729
My idea.

346
00:26:22,714 --> 00:26:24,047
My fault.

347
00:26:24,758 --> 00:26:27,732
No. Just tell me what happened.

348
00:26:34,810 --> 00:26:38,347
I was trying to work out
by a process of elimination

349
00:26:43,402 --> 00:26:48,902
who could have slipped out
into the hall that night.

350
00:26:49,825 --> 00:26:53,494
Murgatroyd could see better
than anyone what was going on.

351
00:26:53,495 --> 00:26:54,777
I see.

352
00:26:58,500 --> 00:27:02,002
And as I was going to fetch
the dog, she got all excited

353
00:27:02,003 --> 00:27:06,210
and started shouting out,

354
00:27:06,341 --> 00:27:08,391
"She wasn't there."

355
00:27:09,761 --> 00:27:13,864
- "She wasn't there"?
- That's right.

356
00:27:15,350 --> 00:27:17,093
She wasn't there.

357
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:24,020
So, you see,
I must find out who "she" is.

358
00:27:26,194 --> 00:27:29,271
Whoever it is will pay the price.

359
00:27:47,299 --> 00:27:49,758
I hope Hannah's prepared an epic feast.

360
00:27:49,759 --> 00:27:52,761
- I've worked quite hard today.
- You surprise me.

361
00:27:52,762 --> 00:27:57,122
Skipped three lectures.
Most days I only skip two.

362
00:28:03,565 --> 00:28:04,897
Julia!

363
00:28:07,903 --> 00:28:09,389
Is something wrong?

364
00:28:09,779 --> 00:28:11,009
This letter.

365
00:28:11,406 --> 00:28:13,456
It's from Julia Simmons.

366
00:28:13,700 --> 00:28:16,007
I thought you were Julia Simmons.

367
00:28:19,915 --> 00:28:21,401
Oh, God.

368
00:28:23,919 --> 00:28:25,610
Caught in the act.

369
00:28:26,922 --> 00:28:29,882
Well, not quite in the act.

370
00:28:29,883 --> 00:28:31,325
What are you talking about?

371
00:28:31,326 --> 00:28:33,444
PATRICK: Well, the fact of
the matter is, Aunt Letty,

372
00:28:33,445 --> 00:28:35,803
it seemed like a bit of a lark.

373
00:28:36,097 --> 00:28:38,251
Just a minute,
you called me "Aunt."

374
00:28:38,683 --> 00:28:41,268
Does that mean you really are
Patrick Simmons?

375
00:28:41,269 --> 00:28:44,961
Oh yes, I really am Patrick.
It's onlyJulia who...

376
00:28:45,398 --> 00:28:46,885
Who isn't Julia.

377
00:28:47,108 --> 00:28:49,365
And whom exactly are you?

378
00:28:52,447 --> 00:28:55,986
I was christened
Emma Jocelyn Stamfordis.

379
00:28:56,159 --> 00:28:58,415
I'm Sonia's daughter, Emma.

380
00:28:58,537 --> 00:29:00,793
- Emma?
- Yes.

381
00:29:00,872 --> 00:29:04,875
But how did you two come together?

382
00:29:04,876 --> 00:29:09,185
At a big party in London,
soon after I was demobbed.

383
00:29:09,714 --> 00:29:13,304
And what is the realJulia
doing in Perth?

384
00:29:13,593 --> 00:29:15,344
PATRICK: She wants to be an actress.

385
00:29:15,345 --> 00:29:17,763
She's been working with a rep company.

386
00:29:17,764 --> 00:29:20,841
We knew mother would have seven fits
so we planned this lark.

387
00:29:21,017 --> 00:29:23,852
She'd go up to Scotland
and get on with her acting.

388
00:29:23,853 --> 00:29:28,932
And I'd come here, pretend to be Julia,
and keep peace in the camp.

389
00:29:31,820 --> 00:29:33,255
Also,

390
00:29:34,573 --> 00:29:36,316
we wanted to be together.

391
00:29:36,491 --> 00:29:40,327
Oh, I see. You two are...

392
00:29:40,328 --> 00:29:43,414
Madly in love.
I think that's the phrase.

393
00:29:43,415 --> 00:29:45,414
Yes, I'm told that can happen.

394
00:29:46,459 --> 00:29:50,296
And was part of this lark the idea
that you might share

395
00:29:50,297 --> 00:29:52,673
- in the Goedler inheritance?
- Yes.

396
00:29:52,674 --> 00:29:55,134
That's not quite what was in
mind, Aunt Letty.

397
00:29:55,135 --> 00:29:58,827
What exactly was in your mind,
Miss Stamfordis?

398
00:30:00,974 --> 00:30:03,794
My parents split up
three years after they were married.

399
00:30:04,185 --> 00:30:05,672
They split us up, too.

400
00:30:06,521 --> 00:30:08,675
- You and Pip?
- Yes.

401
00:30:09,107 --> 00:30:12,081
Pip went with my mother.
I went with my father.

402
00:30:13,028 --> 00:30:16,515
He was a villain, of course,
a thoroughly bad father,

403
00:30:16,531 --> 00:30:18,018
but charming.

404
00:30:18,617 --> 00:30:20,770
Then the war came, and I lost him too.

405
00:30:21,786 --> 00:30:23,888
I worked with the French Resistance,

406
00:30:24,289 --> 00:30:27,108
came to England when
the world had calmed down a little.

407
00:30:27,375 --> 00:30:31,325
Alone and penniless, but knowing there
was money somewhere in the family.

408
00:30:32,130 --> 00:30:35,976
Then I met Patrick,
a marvelous stroke of luck.

409
00:30:36,676 --> 00:30:38,686
He said he was coming here

410
00:30:38,687 --> 00:30:40,988
and I thought you might take pity
on a poor orphan girl

411
00:30:40,989 --> 00:30:42,389
once you knew the full story.

412
00:30:42,390 --> 00:30:43,672
Pity?

413
00:30:43,892 --> 00:30:47,072
A small allowance, nothing excessive.

414
00:30:48,229 --> 00:30:50,336
Why didn't you just tell the truth?

415
00:30:50,532 --> 00:30:53,333
EMMA: Well, we were working up to it,
then suddenly people started

416
00:30:53,334 --> 00:30:57,237
firing revolvers and there were
aspirin tablets causing instant death.

417
00:30:57,289 --> 00:30:59,573
I thought my best plan was
to keep quiet for a while.

418
00:30:59,574 --> 00:31:02,201
We calculated the Inspector
would be bound to suspect

419
00:31:02,202 --> 00:31:04,099
somebody who'd been telling lies.

420
00:31:05,246 --> 00:31:08,066
Yes, I suppose that is reasonable.

421
00:31:09,292 --> 00:31:12,544
But if you are Emma, where is Pip?

422
00:31:12,545 --> 00:31:14,186
I truly have no idea.

423
00:31:15,090 --> 00:31:17,807
We were separated
when we were three years old.

424
00:31:17,967 --> 00:31:20,891
I haven't seen Pip or my mother
for over 20 years.

425
00:31:21,846 --> 00:31:23,430
Is that the whole truth?

426
00:31:23,431 --> 00:31:25,057
The whole truth is,

427
00:31:25,058 --> 00:31:29,103
I came here hoping for a small allowance
from my family's money.

428
00:31:29,104 --> 00:31:32,591
I didn't come here to commit murder,
so that I could inherit the lot.

429
00:31:34,859 --> 00:31:36,398
Yes, I...

430
00:31:36,945 --> 00:31:41,047
I suppose I have no
alternative, but to believe that.

431
00:31:43,034 --> 00:31:46,912
Just a moment, you said you were
in the French Resistance?

432
00:31:46,913 --> 00:31:48,245
Yes.

433
00:31:48,415 --> 00:31:51,208
- You learned to shoot?
- I can shoot.

434
00:31:51,209 --> 00:31:53,585
- In which case...
- If I had shot at you that night,

435
00:31:53,586 --> 00:31:56,406
Letitia Blacklock,
I wouldn't have missed.

436
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,719
Inspector Craddock would like
to speak to all of you.

437
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,345
- Thank you, Hannah.
- All of us?

438
00:32:03,346 --> 00:32:04,930
- Yes.
- But we've only just come in,

439
00:32:04,931 --> 00:32:06,873
- we haven't had time to...
- Miss Amy Murgatroyd

440
00:32:06,874 --> 00:32:08,342
was murdered earlier today.

441
00:32:08,343 --> 00:32:12,240
To be precise, she was strangled
in her garden, just before noon.

442
00:32:12,355 --> 00:32:14,970
I want a precise
account of everybody's movements.

443
00:32:16,985 --> 00:32:20,165
Whoever's doing these
things, Inspector, must be mad,

444
00:32:20,655 --> 00:32:22,030
quite mad.

445
00:32:22,031 --> 00:32:24,199
It doesn't necessarily follow.

446
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,867
Ah, my pearls!

447
00:32:27,495 --> 00:32:28,930
My pearls!

448
00:32:35,420 --> 00:32:37,163
I've never seen her so upset.

449
00:32:46,681 --> 00:32:49,475
- Good day, Miss Marple.
- Good day, Sergeant.

450
00:32:49,476 --> 00:32:53,020
- How is Miss Hinchcliffe?
- Very shocked, I'm afraid.

451
00:32:53,021 --> 00:32:54,866
She seems to have aged 10 years.

452
00:32:56,024 --> 00:32:58,691
We must do something, Sergeant.

453
00:33:08,870 --> 00:33:11,038
- Missing?
- Yes.

454
00:33:11,039 --> 00:33:14,750
- How long has she been missing?
- Oh, about two hours.

455
00:33:14,751 --> 00:33:17,669
She went along the road
to speak to Sergeant Fletcher.

456
00:33:17,670 --> 00:33:20,923
- That's what, about five minutes away?
- Ten at the most.

457
00:33:20,924 --> 00:33:24,359
It doesn't help because
I've lost Fletcher as well.

458
00:33:24,385 --> 00:33:27,179
She suddenly became very
excited about pearls.

459
00:33:27,180 --> 00:33:28,680
- Pearls?
- Yes.

460
00:33:28,681 --> 00:33:31,266
Well, she'd been making
this list in her notebook.

461
00:33:31,267 --> 00:33:35,103
Lamp, violets, aspirins, Bern,

462
00:33:35,104 --> 00:33:38,649
Letty, old age pension, pearls.

463
00:33:38,650 --> 00:33:40,943
Does Miss Blacklock
always wear those pearls?

464
00:33:40,944 --> 00:33:44,431
Yes. We laugh about it sometimes.

465
00:33:44,739 --> 00:33:47,783
I'm very concerned about Miss Marple.
The minute you hear anything,

466
00:33:47,784 --> 00:33:51,169
- you must telephone the station.
- Yes, of course.

467
00:33:57,585 --> 00:33:58,669
Inspector Craddock!

468
00:33:58,670 --> 00:34:01,439
Fletcher, what the hell
are you playing at?

469
00:34:03,091 --> 00:34:06,969
- So you see it's been quite a day.
- So I see.

470
00:34:06,970 --> 00:34:09,429
- But only the one murder.
- Oh, Julia!

471
00:34:09,430 --> 00:34:11,390
PHILLIPA: I understood she wasn't Julia.

472
00:34:11,391 --> 00:34:14,878
Well, I still think of her
as Julia.

473
00:34:15,061 --> 00:34:16,548
Well.

474
00:34:16,813 --> 00:34:21,429
And then, on top of everything else,
that nice Miss Marple has disappeared.

475
00:34:21,484 --> 00:34:23,902
- Perhaps she's on the run.
- On the run?

476
00:34:23,903 --> 00:34:25,955
If she murdered Miss Murgatroyd.

477
00:34:26,447 --> 00:34:27,614
Phillipa!

478
00:34:27,615 --> 00:34:30,282
Can't you
stop talking about murder?

479
00:34:30,702 --> 00:34:34,913
Don't you understand,
I'm frightened. God!

480
00:34:34,914 --> 00:34:39,838
Don't worry, Aunt Letty,
I'll look after you.

481
00:34:44,591 --> 00:34:47,719
Mind you, I could do it better
on a full stomach.

482
00:34:48,636 --> 00:34:50,971
I am hungry, Hannah.

483
00:34:50,972 --> 00:34:53,056
I am frightened.

484
00:34:53,057 --> 00:34:56,476
- Are we having supper tonight?
- You can make it yourselves.

485
00:34:56,477 --> 00:34:59,554
I do nothing more in this house.

486
00:34:59,647 --> 00:35:03,150
If they kill Miss Murgatroyd,
they can kill anyone.

487
00:35:03,151 --> 00:35:06,778
I am going to lock myself
in my room until tomorrow

488
00:35:06,779 --> 00:35:09,753
and then I leave this house for ever.

489
00:35:10,742 --> 00:35:12,895
Good night, Miss Blacklock.

490
00:35:20,335 --> 00:35:23,712
I'll see to dinner.
Might be less embarrassing all round.

491
00:35:23,713 --> 00:35:24,963
Don't be silly, darling.

492
00:35:24,964 --> 00:35:27,579
Nobody wants to sit at table
with an imposter.

493
00:35:27,759 --> 00:35:31,845
Oh, Patrick, if you're acting as
protector, you better taste the food.

494
00:35:31,846 --> 00:35:34,348
I don't want to be accused
of poisoning the omelets.

495
00:35:34,349 --> 00:35:36,892
- Omelets all right for everybody?
- Fine by me.

496
00:35:36,893 --> 00:35:40,278
It's all I can cook anyway,
but I'm outstandingly good.

497
00:35:53,493 --> 00:35:54,979
Do you need any help?

498
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:57,453
No.

499
00:35:59,874 --> 00:36:01,873
There's something I want to say to you.

500
00:36:02,377 --> 00:36:06,890
Save it! I've had enough drama
for one day.

501
00:36:07,632 --> 00:36:10,050
If you've fallen madly in love
with Edmund Swettenham,

502
00:36:10,051 --> 00:36:13,095
- that is strictly your business.
- It isn't that.

503
00:36:13,096 --> 00:36:15,764
Look, why don't you
make yourself useful.

504
00:36:15,765 --> 00:36:18,430
Go and lay the table in the dining
room or something.

505
00:36:18,601 --> 00:36:21,216
Which is a polite way of saying
"leave me alone."

506
00:36:21,437 --> 00:36:23,642
When I shoot, I shoot to kill.

507
00:36:23,898 --> 00:36:27,590
I'm on your side, Emma. That's all.

508
00:36:46,504 --> 00:36:48,922
- That was excellent.
- Thank you.

509
00:36:48,923 --> 00:36:50,257
Have you eaten anything?

510
00:36:50,258 --> 00:36:53,386
I had mine below stairs,
thank you kindly, Mrs. Haymes.

511
00:36:56,806 --> 00:36:58,344
I'll answer it.

512
00:37:01,936 --> 00:37:03,218
Hello.

513
00:37:03,646 --> 00:37:07,441
Every time the phone rings, I assume
somebody else had been bumped off.

514
00:37:07,442 --> 00:37:11,134
Let's count our blessings.
At least it was none of us three.

515
00:37:11,279 --> 00:37:15,022
You're being amazingly cheerful
all of a sudden, Phillipa,

516
00:37:15,491 --> 00:37:18,952
considering we're surrounded
by death and deceit.

517
00:37:18,953 --> 00:37:20,388
Thank you, Inspector.

518
00:37:21,247 --> 00:37:24,124
Oh, do you think we might have
coffee in the drawing room?

519
00:37:24,125 --> 00:37:25,876
We're expecting company.

520
00:37:25,877 --> 00:37:27,794
Not another announcement
in the newspaper?

521
00:37:27,795 --> 00:37:30,630
Inspector Craddock
has invited himself over.

522
00:37:30,631 --> 00:37:33,592
Well, he hasn't been to see us
for at least 20 minutes.

523
00:37:33,593 --> 00:37:36,511
And he's bringing
the Easterbrooks and the Swettenhams.

524
00:37:36,512 --> 00:37:39,999
- How terribly thrilling.
- Coffee in the drawing room?

525
00:37:40,183 --> 00:37:42,798
- Very well, ma'am.

526
00:38:45,039 --> 00:38:47,654
I don't have to explain why we're here.

527
00:38:49,627 --> 00:38:54,551
Today, Miss Amy Murgatroyd
was murdered, very brutally.

528
00:38:54,882 --> 00:38:58,829
And there's every reason to believe she
was murdered by somebody in this room.

529
00:38:59,470 --> 00:39:02,290
More than that, we believe
the murderer was a woman.

530
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,024
Good God!

531
00:39:04,192 --> 00:39:06,159
I'm going to ask
the ladies present to tell me

532
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:10,365
what they were doing today between
the hours of 11:00 and noon.

533
00:39:13,901 --> 00:39:19,114
Starting with the young lady who has
been calling herselfJulia Simmons.

534
00:39:19,115 --> 00:39:21,422
- Calling herself?
- Hush, mother.

535
00:39:22,243 --> 00:39:25,576
Between 11 and 12, I was
in Milchester, meeting Patrick

536
00:39:25,746 --> 00:39:28,207
for a secret walk along the river bank.

537
00:39:28,583 --> 00:39:30,121
We have no witnesses.

538
00:39:30,426 --> 00:39:33,395
We could easily have driven in a fast
car to Miss Murgatroyd's cottage,

539
00:39:33,396 --> 00:39:34,728
but we didn't.

540
00:39:35,381 --> 00:39:38,253
I throw myself
on the mercy of the court.

541
00:39:41,137 --> 00:39:42,932
Mrs. Swettenham.

542
00:39:43,014 --> 00:39:44,346
Me?

543
00:39:44,974 --> 00:39:47,692
What were you doing
at the time in question?

544
00:39:48,102 --> 00:39:52,105
Well, either turning the heel of a sock

545
00:39:52,106 --> 00:39:53,695
or cleaning out the gutter,

546
00:39:53,941 --> 00:39:56,248
depending what time the rain started.

547
00:39:57,195 --> 00:40:00,030
CRADDOCK: It started to rain
at 10 past 11.

548
00:40:00,031 --> 00:40:04,117
Ah, well, that means

549
00:40:04,118 --> 00:40:07,914
that I was turning
the heel of a sock until ten past.

550
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:11,708
Then the rain started and pours
into our passage by the cloakroom

551
00:40:11,709 --> 00:40:13,657
where the gutter's stopped up.

552
00:40:13,836 --> 00:40:17,005
So, I put on my coat and gumboots

553
00:40:17,006 --> 00:40:19,826
and I cleaned out the gutter
with a broom handle.

554
00:40:20,635 --> 00:40:24,262
Do you have witnesses to
the sock-turning or gutter-cleaning?

555
00:40:24,263 --> 00:40:25,680
No.

556
00:40:25,681 --> 00:40:28,308
I called to Edmund but he didn't answer

557
00:40:28,309 --> 00:40:31,796
so I assumed he was at
an important place in his novel.

558
00:40:32,355 --> 00:40:33,789
And were you?

559
00:40:34,941 --> 00:40:36,325
No, I was asleep.

560
00:40:37,151 --> 00:40:38,689
Do you need a witness to that?

561
00:40:39,779 --> 00:40:41,111
I don't think so.

562
00:40:41,697 --> 00:40:43,440
Mrs. Easterbrook?

563
00:40:43,950 --> 00:40:45,384
Oh.

564
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:50,580
I was in the study with Archie.
We were listening to the wireless.

565
00:40:50,581 --> 00:40:52,478
Can you confirm that, Colonel?

566
00:40:53,084 --> 00:40:55,168
- Er, no.
- No?

567
00:40:55,169 --> 00:40:59,837
We were listening to
the wireless at 11:00.

568
00:41:01,801 --> 00:41:04,052
Are we not talking about 11:00?

569
00:41:04,053 --> 00:41:07,889
We are talking about
between 11:00 and 12.

570
00:41:07,890 --> 00:41:10,350
- Precisely.
- And bear in mind

571
00:41:10,351 --> 00:41:13,186
that you withheld vital information
about a revolver,

572
00:41:13,187 --> 00:41:15,905
so may I have some accuracy
on this occasion?

573
00:41:18,776 --> 00:41:22,981
I was in the study with Archie,
listening to the wireless

574
00:41:23,656 --> 00:41:26,578
and then I toasted some scones,

575
00:41:27,285 --> 00:41:31,413
and in between I went for a little walk.

576
00:41:31,414 --> 00:41:33,081
- Alone?
- I was talking

577
00:41:33,082 --> 00:41:38,006
to Lampson, a farmer from Croft End,
about some chicken netting.

578
00:41:38,045 --> 00:41:40,506
While your wife
took a little walk?

579
00:41:42,341 --> 00:41:44,853
Why don't you ask the others
what they were doing?

580
00:41:45,052 --> 00:41:49,155
That Haymes woman.
And Edmund Swettenham.

581
00:41:49,473 --> 00:41:52,350
He writes books about murder
and he's a communist!

582
00:41:52,351 --> 00:41:53,992
He's always saying that...

583
00:41:57,523 --> 00:42:02,652
I've made it quite clear that we are
looking for a woman, Mrs. Easterbrook.

584
00:42:08,367 --> 00:42:10,493
Before she died,

585
00:42:10,494 --> 00:42:15,264
Miss Murgatroyd made a vital statement
about the killing of Rudi Scherz.

586
00:42:15,541 --> 00:42:17,438
As you will all remember,

587
00:42:17,585 --> 00:42:19,878
Miss Murgatroyd was standing
where I am standing now

588
00:42:19,879 --> 00:42:23,212
when the unfortunate young
man entered through this door.

589
00:42:23,215 --> 00:42:25,842
But it was dark.
Nobody could see anything.

590
00:42:25,843 --> 00:42:27,844
Miss Murgatroyd
was standing here,

591
00:42:27,845 --> 00:42:30,665
so she could see where
the torch was shining.

592
00:42:31,098 --> 00:42:35,101
Only she could see who wasn't in
the room at the time of the shooting.

593
00:42:35,102 --> 00:42:36,999
She saw everything.

594
00:42:39,607 --> 00:42:41,775
I, too, saw everything!

595
00:42:41,776 --> 00:42:42,942
That's impossible.

596
00:42:42,943 --> 00:42:44,584
You weren't even in the room.

597
00:42:44,612 --> 00:42:47,906
No. I am not in the room.

598
00:42:47,907 --> 00:42:51,076
I am just a serving maid
and a foreigner.

599
00:42:51,077 --> 00:42:53,453
I am not fine enough to be in the room

600
00:42:53,454 --> 00:42:57,146
with the proper English ladies
and gentlemen.

601
00:42:58,459 --> 00:43:02,670
You do not even ask me into the room
to answer your questions,

602
00:43:02,671 --> 00:43:07,698
and I know the answers,
because I saw what happened.

603
00:43:08,135 --> 00:43:09,776
Tell us what you saw.

604
00:43:11,389 --> 00:43:13,598
The night of the shooting,

605
00:43:13,599 --> 00:43:17,477
I am in the dining room
cleaning the silver

606
00:43:17,478 --> 00:43:19,896
when I hear the shots.

607
00:43:19,897 --> 00:43:25,397
I look through the keyhole
and I see her with the gun in her hand.

608
00:43:26,278 --> 00:43:30,279
I see Miss Blacklock.

609
00:43:30,991 --> 00:43:32,426
Me?

610
00:43:33,994 --> 00:43:35,429
You must be mad!

611
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,431
But that's quite impossible,
if you think about it, Inspector.

612
00:43:38,432 --> 00:43:41,084
Of course it's impossible.
Because it was you, wasn't it?

613
00:43:41,085 --> 00:43:43,962
Thank you, my dear. Perhaps you
could return to your kitchen now.

614
00:43:43,963 --> 00:43:46,219
HANNAH: Always the kitchen.

615
00:43:48,926 --> 00:43:50,427
You took the colonel's revolver.

616
00:43:50,428 --> 00:43:53,430
You organized the advertisement
in the newspaper with Scherz.

617
00:43:53,431 --> 00:43:55,306
We all know you have
a vivid imagination.

618
00:43:55,307 --> 00:43:57,058
The whole idea is monstrous!

619
00:43:57,059 --> 00:43:59,853
The lights went out, you slipped
through that door into the hallway,

620
00:43:59,854 --> 00:44:02,897
shot at Miss Blacklock,
then killed Rudi Scherz.

621
00:44:02,898 --> 00:44:04,948
EDMUND: And why would I do such a thing?

622
00:44:05,192 --> 00:44:07,694
What possible motive could I have?

623
00:44:07,695 --> 00:44:11,182
I hope you have an explanation
for all this, Edmund.

624
00:44:11,198 --> 00:44:16,533
If Miss Blacklock dies,
two people inherit.

625
00:44:16,704 --> 00:44:19,780
The two we know as Pip and Emma.

626
00:44:20,541 --> 00:44:23,772
Julia Simmons is Emma, that we know.

627
00:44:24,044 --> 00:44:26,916
- And...
- And you think that I'm Pip?

628
00:44:30,050 --> 00:44:33,845
I'm Edmund Swettenham,
and I can prove it.

629
00:44:33,846 --> 00:44:39,026
Birth certificate, schools,
university, everything.

630
00:44:39,935 --> 00:44:41,319
PHILLIPA: He isn't Pip.

631
00:44:41,896 --> 00:44:45,024
- I can prove it, too, Inspector.
- You?

632
00:44:46,150 --> 00:44:47,482
I'm Pip.

633
00:44:47,610 --> 00:44:49,968
Good God, Phillipa Haymes.

634
00:44:51,155 --> 00:44:53,770
Everybody assumed that Pip was a boy,

635
00:44:54,158 --> 00:44:55,617
but we were both girls.

636
00:44:55,618 --> 00:44:58,203
We hadn't seen each other
since our parents separated.

637
00:44:58,204 --> 00:45:00,246
I had the same idea as Julia.

638
00:45:00,247 --> 00:45:02,582
I knew there was money in the family.

639
00:45:02,583 --> 00:45:07,507
I found out where Miss Blacklock
lived, took a job in the area.

640
00:45:08,255 --> 00:45:11,883
I just wanted a little money
to help with my son's education.

641
00:45:11,884 --> 00:45:14,594
Murdering people
wasn't part of the plan,

642
00:45:14,595 --> 00:45:16,387
and when the killing started...

643
00:45:16,388 --> 00:45:18,097
Well, then the letter arrived today

644
00:45:18,098 --> 00:45:20,767
and truly that was the first moment
we both realized...

645
00:45:20,768 --> 00:45:22,203
Who we were.

646
00:45:22,436 --> 00:45:24,436
EMMA: We're getting along famously.

647
00:45:26,315 --> 00:45:30,367
Inspector, will you excuse me please?

648
00:45:31,111 --> 00:45:32,957
Just two minutes.

649
00:45:37,409 --> 00:45:40,662
I wouldn't try to kill Miss Blacklock,
she's been too kind to me

650
00:45:40,663 --> 00:45:43,175
and neither would Edmund,
because he isn't Pip.

651
00:45:43,290 --> 00:45:45,416
- But he is in love with you, isn't he?
- Well...

652
00:45:45,417 --> 00:45:48,546
- Has he or has he not proposed to you?
- Of course, I have!

653
00:45:49,046 --> 00:45:52,131
She's wonderful
and I'm going to marry her.

654
00:45:52,132 --> 00:45:54,697
Edmund, you never tell me anything!

655
00:45:59,098 --> 00:46:01,849
You couldn't possibly have seen me!

656
00:46:01,850 --> 00:46:03,893
It is impossible!

657
00:46:03,894 --> 00:46:07,177
What the devil are you doing?
Truth and lies.

658
00:46:09,316 --> 00:46:11,162
- Liar!
- Charlotte!

659
00:46:15,948 --> 00:46:18,324
- What are you doing in my kitchen?

660
00:46:18,325 --> 00:46:21,915
- Watching you, Miss Blacklock.
- Are you all right, my dear?

661
00:46:23,956 --> 00:46:27,542
- Did I do it properly?
- You were splendid.

662
00:46:27,543 --> 00:46:31,337
I must ask you to come along with me
to answer questions about this incident.

663
00:46:31,338 --> 00:46:32,979
And there will be other charges.

664
00:46:33,257 --> 00:46:35,258
I have to warn you, Letitia Blacklock.

665
00:46:35,259 --> 00:46:38,335
Charlotte Blacklock, Sergeant.

666
00:46:38,387 --> 00:46:41,156
I'm sorry. Charlotte Blacklock.

667
00:46:45,769 --> 00:46:51,269
I'm sorry.

668
00:46:52,359 --> 00:46:54,360
I want to kill you.

669
00:46:54,361 --> 00:46:57,387
I want to kill you!

670
00:47:16,216 --> 00:47:18,051
It's your story, Miss Marple.

671
00:47:18,052 --> 00:47:22,263
Oh, I only just helped a little,
here and there.

672
00:47:22,264 --> 00:47:25,266
Like stage managing Hannah's
performance tonight?

673
00:47:25,267 --> 00:47:28,227
She couldn't have seen Miss Blacklock
through the keyhole

674
00:47:28,228 --> 00:47:29,854
because the key was in the lock.

675
00:47:29,855 --> 00:47:32,440
Yes, you did your best
to ruin the whole thing.

676
00:47:32,441 --> 00:47:35,108
- I was accused of murder, too.
- Really?

677
00:47:35,277 --> 00:47:37,445
I'm almost sorry I missed it.

678
00:47:37,446 --> 00:47:39,822
Edmund was part of our stage management

679
00:47:39,823 --> 00:47:41,771
and he performed magnificently.

680
00:47:41,909 --> 00:47:43,793
What gave you the idea
in the first place

681
00:47:43,794 --> 00:47:45,411
that Miss Blacklock was the murderer?

682
00:47:45,412 --> 00:47:47,330
Oh, the way
the shooting was planned.

683
00:47:47,331 --> 00:47:50,048
It had to take place in total darkness.

684
00:47:50,125 --> 00:47:54,462
Therefore, there could be no fire.
Therefore, the central heating was on.

685
00:47:54,463 --> 00:47:58,132
Everyone commented on it
and no one could arrange that,

686
00:47:58,133 --> 00:48:00,235
except the mistress of the house.

687
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:04,722
The lights went out, Miss Blacklock
slipped out into the hall,

688
00:48:04,723 --> 00:48:07,642
fired the shots, killed Scherz,
then slipped back into the room.

689
00:48:07,643 --> 00:48:12,397
Then she nicked her ear with
a pair of nail scissors.

690
00:48:12,398 --> 00:48:16,450
If you snip the lobe of the ear,
it releases quite a lot of blood.

691
00:48:16,777 --> 00:48:19,570
And of course, Delilah helped, too.

692
00:48:19,571 --> 00:48:22,615
- Delilah?
- Mmm. The cat.

693
00:48:22,616 --> 00:48:27,161
Yes, if you fray the flex of an electric
lamp and then pour water on it,

694
00:48:27,162 --> 00:48:28,287
the lights fuse.

695
00:48:28,288 --> 00:48:33,126
You see, I didn't realize that
until Delilah demonstrated it to me.

696
00:48:33,127 --> 00:48:34,716
Is that how Aunt...

697
00:48:34,795 --> 00:48:36,462
How Miss Blacklock fused the lights?

698
00:48:36,463 --> 00:48:38,548
Yes, she poured
water from the flowers

699
00:48:38,549 --> 00:48:41,217
onto the frayed flex of the table lamp.

700
00:48:41,218 --> 00:48:44,603
Poor Dora Bunner noticed that
the lamp had been changed.

701
00:48:44,638 --> 00:48:46,843
No longer a shepherd, but a shepherdess.

702
00:48:46,974 --> 00:48:50,476
Or the reverse, I'm afraid I can't
quite remember, but...

703
00:48:50,477 --> 00:48:53,479
Yes, but why start all
the killing to begin with?

704
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:55,428
Because she
had a guilty secret.

705
00:48:56,316 --> 00:48:58,418
It's a case of once upon a time.

706
00:48:58,986 --> 00:49:01,320
Once upon a time,
there were two sisters,

707
00:49:01,321 --> 00:49:03,823
Charlotte and Letitia Blacklock,

708
00:49:03,824 --> 00:49:07,452
complete with a stupid, cruel
and old-fashioned father.

709
00:49:07,453 --> 00:49:11,080
Letitia Blacklock was a very
successful professional woman,

710
00:49:11,081 --> 00:49:13,799
personal secretary to Randall Goedler.

711
00:49:14,084 --> 00:49:17,044
But Charlotte stayed at home.
She was disfigured.

712
00:49:17,045 --> 00:49:18,921
She had a swelling in her neck.

713
00:49:18,922 --> 00:49:21,933
You know,
a thyroid gland known as goiter.

714
00:49:21,934 --> 00:49:25,194
An operation would have been possible,
but her father didn't believe in it.

715
00:49:25,195 --> 00:49:29,015
But, er, however, just before
the war, her father died,

716
00:49:29,016 --> 00:49:32,059
so she was able to go to Bern
and have an operation,

717
00:49:32,060 --> 00:49:33,701
which was a success.

718
00:49:33,979 --> 00:49:37,356
Except that the operation left
a scar around the neck,

719
00:49:37,357 --> 00:49:38,690
hence the pearls.

720
00:49:38,692 --> 00:49:43,237
Letitia left her job with Goedler
to look after Charlotte in Switzerland.

721
00:49:43,238 --> 00:49:47,658
After the operation, they both
worked in the Red Cross during the war.

722
00:49:47,659 --> 00:49:52,224
And then, quite unexpectedly,
Letitia died.

723
00:49:52,372 --> 00:49:57,502
Charlotte knew that Letitia had
quite a large sum of money to inherit

724
00:49:57,503 --> 00:50:02,477
and also that nobody had seen
her in England for many years.

725
00:50:02,841 --> 00:50:04,738
So she changed identities.

726
00:50:06,220 --> 00:50:09,388
She chose a very quiet,
out-of-the-way village

727
00:50:09,389 --> 00:50:11,696
called Chipping Cleghorn

728
00:50:11,975 --> 00:50:16,899
and waited there for Belle Goedler
to die, then she would be a rich woman.

729
00:50:17,231 --> 00:50:20,983
But of course really, it was her
kindness of heart that let her down.

730
00:50:20,984 --> 00:50:23,754
Dora Bunner wrote to her
out of the blue.

731
00:50:23,862 --> 00:50:26,322
She'd been an old school friend
of both the sisters.

732
00:50:26,323 --> 00:50:30,451
Charlotte was pleased to hear from her
and let her into the secret.

733
00:50:30,452 --> 00:50:33,324
And Dora approved whole-heartedly.

734
00:50:33,580 --> 00:50:38,042
It seemed only right to her in her
confused and muddle-headed mind

735
00:50:38,043 --> 00:50:40,503
that dear Lotty should
not be done out of her inheritance

736
00:50:40,504 --> 00:50:42,503
because of Letitia's untimely death.

737
00:50:43,632 --> 00:50:46,914
So, Dora came to Little Paddocks,

738
00:50:47,553 --> 00:50:52,056
and very soon Charlotte realized that
she'd made a terrible error of judgment.

739
00:50:52,057 --> 00:50:53,724
Dora was unreliable.

740
00:50:53,725 --> 00:50:56,649
She sometimes called her Lotty
instead of Letty.

741
00:50:56,687 --> 00:51:01,941
And then Rudi Scherz turned up,
a much more serious threat.

742
00:51:01,942 --> 00:51:04,044
Did he really know Miss Blacklock?

743
00:51:04,778 --> 00:51:07,822
Yes. We checked.
He'd worked at the clinic in Bern.

744
00:51:07,823 --> 00:51:10,825
I'm sure all he had in mind
was a little petty blackmail

745
00:51:10,826 --> 00:51:14,161
but he was a threat to Miss Blacklock's
whole way of life.

746
00:51:14,162 --> 00:51:19,035
She'd begun to believe in her fantasy,
you see, so she shot Rudi Scherz.

747
00:51:19,042 --> 00:51:22,325
And then of course she found
that poor Dora was unreliable.

748
00:51:23,714 --> 00:51:28,009
I'm afraid it was that conversation
with me in Blue Bird Cafe

749
00:51:28,010 --> 00:51:33,510
that Charlotte partially overheard that
day that really sealed poor Dora's fate.

750
00:51:34,391 --> 00:51:39,776
She tried to make her last day a happy
one by giving her a birthday party.

751
00:51:40,105 --> 00:51:45,286
Really, it was like being kind to a dog
that you're going to destroy.

752
00:51:46,987 --> 00:51:48,279
And Miss Murgatroyd?

753
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:51,408
Oh, no, she killed
Miss Murgatroyd out of fear.

754
00:51:51,950 --> 00:51:53,385
Poor Aunt Letty.

755
00:52:27,527 --> 00:52:29,014
Nice smile.

756
00:52:35,035 --> 00:52:37,137
Stay where you are. Just one more.

757
00:52:46,630 --> 00:52:50,682
- Miss Marple.
- Oh, Inspector.

758
00:52:51,468 --> 00:52:55,109
- A handsome couple.
- Yes, indeed.

759
00:52:55,555 --> 00:52:57,682
You're an honored guest, I assume?

760
00:52:57,683 --> 00:53:02,311
Oh, well they were quite insistent,
and you?

761
00:53:02,312 --> 00:53:04,466
Oh, no, no, I was just passing.

762
00:53:05,199 --> 00:53:07,124
As a matter of fact,
I read about the wedding

763
00:53:07,125 --> 00:53:10,528
<i>- in the Chipping Cleghorn Gazette.</i>
- Of course.

764
00:53:10,529 --> 00:53:15,196
How else would one know what
was going on in Chipping Cleghorn?
