00:17:22,875 --> 00:17:24,786
while my secretary
was in London.

324
00:17:25,002 --> 00:17:26,288
Couldn't get rid
of the damn chap.

325
00:17:26,504 --> 00:17:27,619
Did they have children?

326
00:17:27,838 --> 00:17:31,172
One. Norma.

327
00:17:32,885 --> 00:17:34,375
And the mother?

328
00:17:34,595 --> 00:17:36,336
Mary Restarick has been dead
for many years.

329
00:17:36,556 --> 00:17:39,469
Oh, Sonia!

330
00:17:40,393 --> 00:17:43,476
This is my secretary, Sonia.

331
00:17:43,688 --> 00:17:47,431

And my companion.

332

-Ah.
-RODERICK: [ Groans softly ]

336
00:17:54,574 --> 00:17:56,360
I'm afraid Sir Roderick
tires easily.

337
00:17:56,576 --> 00:17:57,816
He doesn't
normally see visitors.

338
00:17:58,035 --> 00:18:00,117
Ah.
<i>Je suis désolé.</i>

339
00:18:00,329 --> 00:18:02,286

I'll show you out.

341
00:18:03,666 --> 00:18:06,579
-No, no, no. There is no need.
-I insist.

342
00:18:17,722 --> 00:18:22,091
Madame Restarick was a woman
most striking, no?

343
00:18:22,310 --> 00:18:23,550
Evidently.

344
00:18:23,769 --> 00:18:25,476
May I ask how did she die?

345
00:18:25,688 --> 00:18:28,055
I'm told she died suddenly.

346
00:18:28,274 --> 00:18:30,015
How sad.

347
00:18:30,234 --> 00:18:33,727
But her daughter comes to visit
her granduncle, <i>non</i>?

348
00:18:33,946 --> 00:18:35,402
Norma doesn't come here anymore.

349
00:18:35,615 --> 00:18:37,481
But for what reason?

350
00:18:37,700 --> 00:18:39,532
I have no idea.

351
00:18:39,744 --> 00:18:42,827

-Sir.

353
00:19:08,105 --> 00:19:11,063
OLIVER: Well, what did
you find out at Crosshedges?

354
00:19:11,275 --> 00:19:13,107
Nothing.

355
00:19:13,319 --> 00:19:15,356
How dreadfully dull.

356
00:19:15,571 --> 00:19:16,982
Not at all!

357
00:19:17,198 --> 00:19:18,939
The fact
that Poirot discovered nothing

358
00:19:19,158 --> 00:19:22,276
means that there is a great deal
that is being concealed.

359
00:19:22,495 --> 00:19:24,236
What did you find out?

360
00:19:24,455 --> 00:19:25,661
Well...

361
00:19:26,666 --> 00:19:28,156
The first girl told me

362
00:19:28,376 --> 00:19:30,413
Norma has had a falling out
with her great-uncle.

363
00:19:30,628 --> 00:19:32,039
Something about
a new friend he has.

364
00:19:32,254 --> 00:19:34,495
Ah.
That I can understand.

365
00:19:34,715 --> 00:19:36,126
And the second girl?

366
00:19:36,342 --> 00:19:38,925
She spoke more warmly
about Norma.

367
00:19:39,136 --> 00:19:40,752
Frances Cary.
The bohemian one.

368
00:19:40,971 --> 00:19:41,756
<i>Oui</i>.

369
00:19:41,972 --> 00:19:44,088
No idea how to make
a cup of tea.

370
00:19:44,308 --> 00:19:45,890
Where was the girl brought up?

371
00:19:47,144 --> 00:19:49,306
You were with Mlle. Restarick
all of the evening?

372
00:19:49,522 --> 00:19:50,637
-At the party?
-<i>Oui</i>.

373
00:19:50,856 --> 00:19:54,815
Uh, she went to her room
when the ice cream came out.

374
00:19:55,027 --> 00:19:56,267
<i>Hurrah!</i>

375
00:19:56,487 --> 00:19:58,728
<i>Who would like ice cream?</i>

376
00:19:58,948 --> 00:20:00,905
<i>Ice cream.
What a wonderful idea.</i>

377
00:20:01,117 --> 00:20:01,902
<i>Excuse me.</i>

378
00:20:02,118 --> 00:20:05,236
I had a bowl, then left.
Didn't find anyone to talk to.

379
00:20:05,454 --> 00:20:06,694
Nobody seemed
terribly interested

380
00:20:06,914 --> 00:20:08,279
in the fate of the modern novel.

381

Not even the artist that you
mentioned, this David Baker?

OLIVER:
Oh, he was far too busy for me.

383
00:20:12,878 --> 00:20:15,586
He spent all evening
talking to Frances.

384
00:20:15,798 --> 00:20:19,166
It struck me that they didn't
want to be overheard by anybody.

385
00:20:19,385 --> 00:20:22,093
Oh, one more thing.
Claudia Reece-Holland.

386
00:20:22,304 --> 00:20:24,011
She's secretary
to Andrew Restarick,

387
00:20:24,223 --> 00:20:25,338
Norma's father.

388
00:20:25,558 --> 00:20:27,799
Ah, well, then it seems
that I must make an appointment

389
00:20:28,018 --> 00:20:29,304
to see this M. Restarick, no?

390
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:30,851
What can I do?

391
00:20:31,063 --> 00:20:32,645
Nothing, madame.

392
00:20:32,857 --> 00:20:35,474
-Nothing?
-No, nothing at all.

393
00:20:35,693 --> 00:20:38,310

00:20:38,529 --> 00:20:40,520
Where there is murder,
anything can happen.

00:20:40,740 --> 00:20:42,526
Murder?
Who's been murdered?

396
00:20:42,742 --> 00:20:45,359
Well, Nanny Seagram, of course.

397
00:20:45,578 --> 00:20:48,536
So you don't think
she took her own life?

398
00:20:48,748 --> 00:20:50,534
No, no, no.

of yours?

Who? The frog?
Never met him in me damn life.

Are you sure about that?

407
00:21:17,234 --> 00:21:19,851
Told me he sees old Abercromby
from time to time.

Ha. Have to dig him up first.
[ Laughs ]

came snooping around.

Asking questions about Norma.

And he was looking for, uh --
for photographs.

415

Seems that Andrew's commissioned
a portrait from him

he might be after Norma's money?

00:53:53,731 --> 00:53:55,187
Just curiosity, eh?

961
00:53:55,399 --> 00:53:56,981
It seems
you've been deceiving me.

962
00:53:57,192 --> 00:53:58,182
<i>Je suis désolé.</i>

963
00:53:58,402 --> 00:54:02,441
But to indulge me,
if you please, for one <i>moment</i>.

964
00:54:02,656 --> 00:54:04,442
Can you remember
exactly when it was

965
00:54:04,658 --> 00:54:05,864
that the secretary
to M. Restarick

966
00:54:06,076 --> 00:54:07,942
denounced his daughter
as a murderess?

967
00:54:08,162 --> 00:54:09,402
It was two days ago.

968
00:54:09,621 --> 00:54:11,783
Two days?
That was when I was attacked.

969
00:54:11,999 --> 00:54:14,661
Do you have any idea
where this girl is, Poirot?

970
00:54:14,877 --> 00:54:16,538
GEORGE:
I cannot allow you in there.

971
00:54:16,754 --> 00:54:18,745
-Please, miss.
-I'm here.

972
00:54:20,591 --> 00:54:22,582
I'm Norma Restarick.

973
00:54:22,801 --> 00:54:25,714
I killed Nanny Seagram.

974
00:54:25,929 --> 00:54:27,545
NELSON:
Norma Restarick,

975
00:54:27,765 --> 00:54:29,381
I am arresting you
on a charge of murder.

976
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:32,262
Thank you for trying to help me.

977
00:54:32,478 --> 00:54:34,970
I take a very dim view
of this, Poirot.

978
00:54:39,902 --> 00:54:43,315
If you will, sir, the first time
I clapped eyes on her,

979
00:54:43,530 --> 00:54:45,897
I thought the young lady
had birds in her attic.

980
00:54:46,116 --> 00:54:47,732
Thank you very much, George.

981
00:54:47,951 --> 00:54:50,113
Coffee for two, if you please.

982
00:54:52,664 --> 00:54:57,079
Now, then, there are a lot
of things I'd like to know.

983
00:54:57,294 --> 00:54:59,080
Am I to understand

984
00:54:59,296 --> 00:55:01,628
that Norma Restarick has been
with you all this time?

985
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:04,832
<i>Oui. Bien sûr.</i>
Where else?

986
00:55:06,553 --> 00:55:09,011
You seem completely unconcerned
at her arrest.

987
00:55:09,223 --> 00:55:11,760
Not at all.
It is unfortunate.

988
00:55:11,975 --> 00:55:13,591
She would have been
much more comfortable

989
00:55:13,811 --> 00:55:16,098
remaining here under my roof.

990
00:55:16,313 --> 00:55:17,553
Ah.

991
00:55:17,773 --> 00:55:18,854
And what is that?

992
00:55:19,066 --> 00:55:22,604
This answers a question
that has been troubling me

993
00:55:22,820 --> 00:55:25,812
ever since I made a visit
to Joshua Restarick Ltd.

994
00:55:26,031 --> 00:55:27,942
And what is
this fascinating question?

995
00:55:28,158 --> 00:55:29,444
Well, simply this.

996
00:55:29,660 --> 00:55:30,775
When I arrived there,

997
00:55:30,994 --> 00:55:33,076
Mile. Claudia Reece-Holland
was sitting at her desk

998
00:55:33,288 --> 00:55:35,245
repairing her -- her <i>maquillage</i>.

999
00:55:35,457 --> 00:55:39,291
And in front of her there was
no correspondence, no files.

1000
00:55:39,503 --> 00:55:40,914
And for the duration
of my visit,

1001
00:55:41,129 --> 00:55:42,711
the telephone,
it sounded only once,

1002
00:55:42,923 --> 00:55:45,585
and that was for me
from Mille. Daphne on your behalf

1003
00:55:45,801 --> 00:55:48,133
from The Merry Shamrock
tearooms.

1004
00:55:48,345 --> 00:55:50,131
And so I asked
the good Inspector Nelson

1005
00:55:50,347 --> 00:55:51,633
to make the inquiry.

1006
00:55:53,350 --> 00:55:54,135
And?

1007
00:55:54,351 --> 00:55:56,809
Joshua Restarick virtually
ceased trading as a business

1008
00:55:57,020 --> 00:55:59,478
it is now since two years,
after many years in decline.

1009
00:55:59,690 --> 00:56:02,352
Oh, do stop.

1010
00:56:02,568 --> 00:56:03,899
You're making
my head ache again,

1011
00:56:04,111 --> 00:56:05,897
and you know that's bad for me.

1012
00:56:08,490 --> 00:56:11,152
Chére madame, have you ever
seen the girl smile?

1013
00:56:11,368 --> 00:56:12,904
Smile?

1014
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:15,157
Why, yes.
When she saw David Baker.

1015
00:56:15,372 --> 00:56:16,578
POIROT:
And did he?

1016
00:56:16,790 --> 00:56:18,280
-Did he what?
-Smile at her.

1017
00:56:18,500 --> 00:56:22,869
I mean, did he look her
in the eyes?

1018
00:56:26,550 --> 00:56:28,507
He never took his eyes
from hers.

1019
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:30,551
Does it matter?

1020
00:56:30,762 --> 00:56:32,173
But of course.

1021
00:56:32,389 --> 00:56:33,675
Well, I think he's unreliable.

1022
00:56:33,891 --> 00:56:35,928
He was going to show Norma
something at the tearooms,

1023
00:56:36,143 --> 00:56:37,508
but of course
that never materialized.

1024
00:56:37,728 --> 00:56:38,968
Ah.

1025
00:56:39,187 --> 00:56:40,769
And does it still
not occur to you

1026
00:56:40,981 --> 00:56:43,439
that she might be
exactly what she appears to be?

1027
00:56:43,650 --> 00:56:46,392
I mean, criminally insane.

1028
00:56:46,612 --> 00:56:48,944
<i>Chére madame</i>, if you want to
know the real truth

1029
00:56:49,156 --> 00:56:50,772
about Mlle. Norma Restarick,

1030
00:56:50,991 --> 00:56:52,607
you will accompany me
on a journey.

1031
00:56:52,826 --> 00:56:55,534
Thanks to the inquiries
of the good Inspector Nelson,

1032
00:56:55,746 --> 00:56:57,862
we will meet
a very old friend of hers.

1033
00:56:58,081 --> 00:57:00,823
Would four aspirin would be
too much to take, I wonder?

1034
00:57:08,884 --> 00:57:10,795
[ Indistinct talking ]

1035
00:57:21,229 --> 00:57:24,972
I was intrigued by
your telephone call, M. Poirot.

1036
00:57:25,192 --> 00:57:26,853
-I've heard of you, of course.
<i>-Merci.</i>

1037
00:57:27,069 --> 00:57:31,529
But I should like a little more
information before we talk.

1038
00:57:31,740 --> 00:57:33,151
Yes, indeed.

1039
00:57:33,367 --> 00:57:34,949
<i>Eh bien</i>, Mme. Battersby,

1040
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:38,278
this Mlle. Norma Restarick
rendered to me a visit,

1041
00:57:38,497 --> 00:57:40,079
and she requested my assistance

1042
00:57:40,290 --> 00:57:42,907
with, well, some difficulties
that she has --

1043
00:57:43,126 --> 00:57:44,912
-She's been charged with murder.
-Murder?

1044
00:57:49,549 --> 00:57:52,416
Um, so firstly may I ask,

1045
00:57:52,636 --> 00:57:54,877
did you like
Mile. Norma Restarick

1046
00:57:55,097 --> 00:57:56,553
when she was here as a pupil?

1047
00:57:56,765 --> 00:57:58,096
I like all my girls.

1048
00:57:58,308 --> 00:58:00,925
Yes, of course.
But what sort of girl was she?

1049
00:58:01,144 --> 00:58:03,385
Not scholastically brilliant,
but adequate.

1050
00:58:03,605 --> 00:58:06,438
And before? When you taught her
at Crosshedges?

1051
00:58:06,650 --> 00:58:08,232
She was very young,
only five years old,

1052
00:58:08,443 --> 00:58:10,059
and my appointment
was a very brief one.

1053
00:58:10,278 --> 00:58:11,109
For what reason?

1054
00:58:11,321 --> 00:58:13,187
There was an opportunity
to set up my own school.

1055
00:58:13,407 --> 00:58:14,772
So you left your employment

1056
00:58:14,992 --> 00:58:16,858
in the family Restarick
to set up this school?

1057
00:58:17,077 --> 00:58:17,691
Yes.

1058
00:58:17,911 --> 00:58:20,073
That was an undertaking
most audacious, no?

1059
00:58:20,288 --> 00:58:23,622
It wasn't easy to make ends meet
at first, but, um...

1060
00:58:23,834 --> 00:58:25,620
the school soon started
to pay for itself.

1061
00:58:25,836 --> 00:58:26,667
<i>Bon.</i>

1062
00:58:26,878 --> 00:58:27,788
And tell to me --

1063
00:58:28,005 --> 00:58:32,420
Did Mlle. Norma Restarick
ever smile?

1064
00:58:32,634 --> 00:58:33,624
I beg your pardon?

1065
00:58:33,844 --> 00:58:37,007
I think he means, did she seem
a little neurotic?

1066
00:58:38,348 --> 00:58:41,261
I think you're aware, M. Poirot,

1067
00:58:41,476 --> 00:58:43,683
that Norma's had to receive
psychiatric assistance

1068
00:58:43,895 --> 00:58:47,229
on more than one occasion,
including while she was here.

1069
00:58:48,191 --> 00:58:51,058
Which is hardly surprising,
given her home circumstances.

1070
00:58:51,278 --> 00:58:54,066
Her father, to whom she'd been
extremely attached,

1071
00:58:54,281 --> 00:58:56,067
left home suddenly, and, um...

1072
00:58:56,950 --> 00:59:00,739
Well, her mother didn't cope
with that very well, I think.

1073
00:59:00,954 --> 00:59:03,321
And then the tragedy
of her suicide.

1074
00:59:03,540 --> 00:59:05,030
No, since you mention it,

1075
00:59:05,250 --> 00:59:08,993
I can't recall Norma
ever smiling after the death.

1076
00:59:09,212 --> 00:59:12,330
Her bedroom here became a shrine
to her dead mother.

1077
00:59:12,549 --> 00:59:15,883
It seems to me that she has been
blaming herself all of her life.

1078
00:59:16,094 --> 00:59:18,005
As do most children, no?

1079
00:59:18,221 --> 00:59:20,679
Indeed. When they're not blaming
their parents.

1080
00:59:20,891 --> 00:59:22,006
<i>Oui.</i>

1081
00:59:22,225 --> 00:59:23,841
Do you yourself have children,
madame”?

1082
00:59:24,061 --> 00:59:26,803
I've never married, M. Poirot.

1083
00:59:27,022 --> 00:59:30,731
<i>Oh, je suis désolé --</i>
mademoiselle.

1084
00:59:31,568 --> 00:59:35,482
You say that she kept her room
as a shrine to her mother.

1085
00:59:35,697 --> 00:59:36,653
But you also say

1086
00:59:36,865 --> 00:59:38,651
that she was extremely attached
to her father.

1087
00:59:38,867 --> 00:59:40,528
So there was no shrine to him?

1088
00:59:40,744 --> 00:59:42,860
In her heart, yes.

1089
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:46,869
She never gave up hope
that he would return.

1090
00:59:47,084 --> 00:59:48,540
Or that a letter would arrive

1091
00:59:48,752 --> 00:59:51,494
asking her to go out
and join him.

1092
00:59:51,713 --> 00:59:53,203
It never did.

1093
00:59:53,423 --> 00:59:54,709
In her heart, <i>oui</i>.

1094
00:59:54,925 --> 00:59:57,838
But in reality?
In her rooms?

1095
00:59:58,053 --> 00:59:59,543
There wasn't a single photograph
of her father,

1096
00:59:59,763 --> 01:00:00,844
if that's what you mean.

1097
01:00:01,056 --> 01:00:02,387
Her mother destroyed

1098
01:00:02,599 --> 01:00:05,136
every single one she could find
after he left.

1099
01:00:05,352 --> 01:00:06,592
Really,
when it comes to the mother,

1100
01:00:06,812 --> 01:00:07,722
one has to ask oneself,

1101
01:00:07,938 --> 01:00:11,351
"In that house,
who was the child?"

1102
01:00:11,566 --> 01:00:14,900
<i>Vraiment</i>. Who was
the child, indeed, <i>hein</i>?

1103
01:00:15,112 --> 01:00:16,728
And you yourself
could not provide her

1104
01:00:16,947 --> 01:00:18,563
with a photograph of her father?

1105
01:00:19,324 --> 01:00:20,234
What, me?

1106
01:00:20,450 --> 01:00:22,862
Well, from the photographs
you took of the family, I mean.

1107
01:00:23,078 --> 01:00:24,864
Oh, I see.
Of course.

1108
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:27,037
No.
No, I couldn't.

1109
01:00:28,083 --> 01:00:29,665
Are we done, do you think?

1110
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:32,955
<i>Oui.</i>

1111
01:00:35,674 --> 01:00:39,258
I have all of your novels,
Mrs. Oliver.

1112
01:00:39,469 --> 01:00:42,336
And I-I wonder
if you would be so very kind

1113
01:00:42,556 --> 01:00:44,046
as to sign my copies.

1114
01:00:44,266 --> 01:00:46,678
-I really would be so grateful.
-Oh, yes, of course.

1115

-Do you have a pen?
-Yes.

1116
01:00:49,104 --> 01:00:50,936
Thank you.
This is thrilling.

1117
01:00:51,148 --> 01:00:52,309
Pleasure.

1118
01:00:53,984 --> 01:00:55,520
I see from my records

1119
01:00:55,735 --> 01:00:58,773
that Norma is about to reach
her 25th birthday.

1120
01:00:58,989 --> 01:01:01,447
She's quite a catch for
somebody, given her wealth.

1121
01:01:01,658 --> 01:01:03,399
Mary Restarick
was a wealthy heiress,

1122
01:01:03,618 --> 01:01:04,904
and she left it all to Norma.

1123
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:06,076
How wealthy was she?

1124
01:01:06,288 --> 01:01:07,369
At the time of her death,

1125
01:01:07,581 --> 01:01:09,322
Mary Restarick's fortune
was estimated

1126
01:01:09,541 --> 01:01:12,124
at £700,000 or £800,000.

1127
01:01:12,335 --> 01:01:14,542
And of course
there's Crosshedges house, too.

1128
01:01:14,754 --> 01:01:16,745
So the house does not belong
to Sir Roderick?

1129
01:01:16,965 --> 01:01:19,297
Oh, no. Sir Roderick lives there
by the grace of Norma.

1130
01:01:19,509 --> 01:01:20,374
So if by chance

1131
01:01:20,594 --> 01:01:23,302
Mlle. Norma Restarick
was to die?

1132
01:01:23,513 --> 01:01:26,221
Well, half the money would go
to her next of kin.

1133
01:01:26,433 --> 01:01:29,551
Her father.
Unless she were to marry.

1134
01:01:29,769 --> 01:01:30,725
But why only half?

1135
01:01:30,937 --> 01:01:33,474
Mary Restarick
loved Crosshedges.

1136
01:01:33,690 --> 01:01:35,397
She ensured
that half the family money

1137
01:01:35,609 --> 01:01:38,021
would always go back
to the guardian of the estate.

1138
01:01:38,236 --> 01:01:41,149
So if Mlle. Norma Restarick
was not to marry,

1139
01:01:41,364 --> 01:01:42,570
that would be...

1140
01:01:42,782 --> 01:01:45,524
Her favorite uncle.
Old Sir Roderick.

1141
01:01:50,123 --> 01:01:51,329

OLIVER: This Sonia woman
you told me about.

1143
01:02:05,180 --> 01:02:06,670
She's obviously hoping
old Roderick

1144
01:02:06,890 --> 01:02:08,972
will come
into Norma's mother's money.

1145

Didn't you tell me

1146
01:02:11,978 --> 01:02:15,471
Sir Roderick asked you
to flush out David Baker?

1147
01:02:17,567 --> 01:02:20,685
-I said, it seems to me --
-I heard you, madame.

1148

I am thinking.
It is my custom.

1149

Oh.

1150

What about?

1151
01:02:27,327 --> 01:02:28,237
Tell to me, madame,

1152
01:02:28,453 --> 01:02:30,364
when you entered the apartment
of Nanny Seagram --

1153
01:02:30,580 --> 01:02:33,698
against the advice that
I gave to you most expressly,

1154
01:02:33,917 --> 01:02:36,158
but let us overlook that
for now --

1155
01:02:36,378 --> 01:02:38,289
how did you gain the entry?

1156
01:02:38,505 --> 01:02:41,042
<i>Oh, AX.
The concierge.</i>

1157
01:02:41,258 --> 01:02:44,501
He'd do anything for me.
He's my number-one fan, he says.

1158
01:02:44,719 --> 01:02:45,709
How gratifying.

1159
01:02:45,929 --> 01:02:47,715
-He let you in.
-Yes.

1160
01:02:47,931 --> 01:02:50,389
But, in fact, he didn't need to.
The door had been left unlocked.

1161
01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:52,307
I see.
And once inside, you --

1162
01:02:52,519 --> 01:02:54,385
Well, you just discovered
the letter?

1163

-And I didn't tell you how.
-<i>Non</i>.

1164
01:02:56,648 --> 01:03:00,357
It was terribly clever,
although I say it myself.

1165
01:03:00,568 --> 01:03:03,606
I simply asked myself,
"Where would a woman hide"?

1166
01:03:03,822 --> 01:03:05,904
Yes, yes, yes.
But did anything else happen?

1167
01:03:06,116 --> 01:03:09,780
Well, for a second,
I had the feeling

1168
01:03:09,995 --> 01:03:12,111
that someone was there
in the apartment.

1169
01:03:12,330 --> 01:03:13,866
But of course I imagined it.

1170
01:03:14,082 --> 01:03:16,915
Anyway, I said to myself,
"Where would a woman hide --"

1171
01:03:17,127 --> 01:03:18,413
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

1172
01:03:18,628 --> 01:03:21,916
Are you sure that there
was there no other person?

1173
01:03:22,132 --> 01:03:23,122
Does it really matter?

1174
01:03:23,341 --> 01:03:25,002
This is of the utmost
importance, madame.

1175
01:03:25,218 --> 01:03:27,004
Oh, you really are
the most maddening man.

1176
01:03:27,220 --> 01:03:29,837
I couldn't say for certain
one way or the other

1177
01:03:30,056 --> 01:03:32,172
whether someone else
was in the apartment.

she said that she <i>might</i>

and asked me to save her.

1403

Now I would suggest that those
are the words not of a murderer,

but of a victim.

1405

Was Nanny Seagram murdered
or was it,

1406

as the police seemed
to assume too easily,

1407

the suicide?

1408
01:18:20,654 --> 01:18:23,237
I could not be sure
of the answer.

1409
01:18:23,449 --> 01:18:26,316
But an inscription on the back
of a photograph...

the death was somehow connected

1414

of Mlle. Norma Restarick
and the Nanny Seagram.

1416
01:18:42,968 --> 01:18:45,926
So I made a visit
to Crosshedges,

and I learned there something
crucial to my investigation.

Well, according to Sir Roderick,

1421
01:18:57,066 --> 01:18:58,852
he wanted some photographs
of the family

1422
01:18:59,068 --> 01:19:00,775
because he was about to execute
a portrait

as a young man, <i>oui</i>?

with great cynicism

01:19:06,867 --> 01:19:08,028
and said, most revealingly...

1426

<i>I've never met him.</i>

1427
01:19:09,870 --> 01:19:12,532
That's a thing most strange to
say, <i>n'est-ce pas, monsieur?</i>

1428
01:19:12,748 --> 01:19:17,663
But I digress.
Let us return to Nanny Seagram.

1429
01:19:17,878 --> 01:19:19,869
A woman who was old,
who was vulnerable,

1430
01:19:20,089 --> 01:19:22,205
who had a problem with drink,

1431
01:19:22,424 --> 01:19:24,256
which,
according to the concierge,

1432
01:19:24,468 --> 01:19:27,210
increased since the arrival
from South Africa

1433
01:19:27,429 --> 01:19:29,011
of M. Andrew Restarick.

1434
01:19:29,223 --> 01:19:31,555
I wondered why.

1435
01:19:31,767 --> 01:19:33,508
She was, of course,
entirely dependent

1436
01:19:33,727 --> 01:19:35,138
on the goodwill
of the company Restarick

1437
01:19:35,354 --> 01:19:36,640
for the roof over her head.

1438
01:19:36,855 --> 01:19:40,393
But she had no need to worry.

1439
01:19:40,609 --> 01:19:41,474
For you had reason most sound

1440
01:19:41,694 --> 01:19:44,106
to be grateful to her,
had you not, monsieur?

1441
01:19:44,321 --> 01:19:46,653
For all her service
to the family. Yes.

1442
01:19:46,865 --> 01:19:51,450
<i>Oui</i>. Also for helping you to
impersonate a man who was dead.

1443
01:19:52,454 --> 01:19:54,786
A man who was dead?

1444
01:19:54,999 --> 01:19:56,535
The inquiries
of Inspector Nelson

1445
01:19:56,750 --> 01:19:58,536
confirmed my suspicions
only yesterday.

1446
01:19:58,752 --> 01:20:04,247
And today I received a telegram
from South Africa,

1447
01:20:04,466 --> 01:20:06,707
confirming the death
of M. Andrew Restarick,

1448
01:20:06,927 --> 01:20:09,009
it is now since one year.

1449
01:20:09,221 --> 01:20:10,757
So, monsieur,

1450
01:20:10,973 --> 01:20:14,216
as Mlle. Norma Restarick
demanded of you today,

1451
01:20:14,435 --> 01:20:16,301
I, Hercule Poirot,
also demand of you...

1452
01:20:18,105 --> 01:20:19,436
Who are you?

1453
01:20:19,648 --> 01:20:23,812
My name is Robert Orwell.

1454
01:20:24,028 --> 01:20:26,736
Andrew Restarick
was my good friend.

1455
01:20:26,947 --> 01:20:30,110
None of this
was ever meant to end in death.

1456
01:20:30,326 --> 01:20:31,111
Mm.

1457
01:20:31,327 --> 01:20:33,694
RODERICK: You!
You are an impostor!

1458
01:20:33,912 --> 01:20:35,619
No, Roddy, no.
Sit down.

1459
01:20:35,831 --> 01:20:38,914
The real Andrew Restarick
has not been seen in England

1460
01:20:39,126 --> 01:20:40,958
for 20 years.

1461
01:20:41,170 --> 01:20:44,253
His wife, whom he abandoned,

1462
01:20:44,465 --> 01:20:47,127
had destroyed every image of him
she possessed

1463
01:20:47,343 --> 01:20:49,300
and was now dead
by her own hand.

1464
01:20:49,511 --> 01:20:51,297
Sir Roderick, alas,
had lost his sight.

1465
01:20:51,513 --> 01:20:52,878
And his daughter, Mlle. Norma,

1466
01:20:53,098 --> 01:20:56,932
had not seen him since she was,
oh, five years of age.

1467
01:20:58,312 --> 01:21:01,680
There was now only one person
who could give away the game.

1468
01:21:03,025 --> 01:21:04,436
Nanny Seagram.

1469
01:21:04,651 --> 01:21:08,235
Threatened with eviction
if she attempted to expose you

1470
01:21:08,447 --> 01:21:13,157
and bribed with a supply,
seemingly without end, of gin,

1471
01:21:13,369 --> 01:21:15,451
she had fallen in
with your plans.

1472
01:21:15,662 --> 01:21:17,619
Now you were free
to take over the business.

1473
01:21:17,831 --> 01:21:20,573
Now you would sell it
to the highest bidder.

1474
01:21:22,252 --> 01:21:25,165
-You're wrong, Poirot.
-Hmm?

1475
01:21:25,381 --> 01:21:26,621
The business was worthless.

1476
01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:28,581
<i>Oui, d'accord,</i> but you
could not have known this

1477
01:21:28,801 --> 01:21:29,836
before you left South Africa.

1478
01:21:30,052 --> 01:21:31,008
For why else
would you come here?

1479
01:21:31,220 --> 01:21:34,338
-I never murdered anyone.
-But you had the motive.

1480
01:21:34,556 --> 01:21:37,139
Fearing that Nanny Seagram
was about to expose you,

1481
01:21:37,351 --> 01:21:39,183
it was necessary perhaps
to silence her.

1482
01:21:39,395 --> 01:21:41,386
Ah, but then,
when Mlle. Norma Restarick

1483
01:21:41,605 --> 01:21:44,472
confessed to the murder,
you suddenly realized that,

1484
01:21:44,691 --> 01:21:47,774
ah, as Sir Andrew Restarick,
you were next of kin.

1485
01:21:47,986 --> 01:21:51,945
You would now inherit
half the legacy of her mother.

1486
01:21:52,157 --> 01:21:54,865
So you stood by in silence
and let her.

1487
01:21:56,328 --> 01:21:57,614
You were now within, what,

1488
01:21:57,830 --> 01:22:01,039
inches of becoming
the millionaire.

1489
01:22:01,250 --> 01:22:04,208
One might even say
the length of the rope of...

1490
01:22:05,879 --> 01:22:07,961
...the hangman.

1491
01:22:09,091 --> 01:22:11,879
But now this fortune
will not go to you, monsieur,

1492
01:22:12,094 --> 01:22:15,212
an impostor who has been
revealed, but to Sir Roderick.

1493
01:22:15,431 --> 01:22:16,637
My husband
doesn't care about that.

1494
01:22:16,849 --> 01:22:18,590
He just wants Norma back.

1495
01:22:19,852 --> 01:22:21,638
You monster.
How can you do this?

1496
01:22:21,854 --> 01:22:24,186
No, one second.
Inspector.

1497
01:22:24,398 --> 01:22:26,230
There has recently
come to my attention

1498
01:22:26,442 --> 01:22:29,776
some information that is new.

1499
01:22:31,113 --> 01:22:33,525
There is one other person here

1500
01:22:33,740 --> 01:22:37,358
who has the claim to the fortune
of Mlle. Norma Restarick.

1501
01:22:37,578 --> 01:22:39,194
The photograph that I discovered

1502
01:22:39,413 --> 01:22:40,824
in the apartment
of Nanny Seagram

1503
01:22:41,039 --> 01:22:44,248
was taken by the former tutor
of Mlle. Norma Restarick,

1504
01:22:44,460 --> 01:22:47,669
a Mlle. A.J. Battersby.

1505
01:22:47,880 --> 01:22:51,043
I paid a visit to her school
where she is now the principal.

1506
01:22:51,258 --> 01:22:54,751
And I found there a woman
full of emotion

1507
01:22:54,970 --> 01:22:57,257
about a child
who had been abandoned

1508
01:22:57,473 --> 01:22:59,510
and a man
who had deserted them both.

1509
01:22:59,725 --> 01:23:03,389
<i>She never gave up hope
that he would return.</i>

1510
01:23:03,604 --> 01:23:05,094
<i>Or that a letter would arrive</i>

1511
01:23:05,314 --> 01:23:08,102
<i>asking her to go out
and join him.</i>

1512
01:23:08,317 --> 01:23:09,352
<i>It never did.</i>

1513
01:23:09,568 --> 01:23:13,436
And a woman, moreover,
who misled me about dates.

1514
01:23:13,655 --> 01:23:16,067
She told to me

1515
01:23:16,283 --> 01:23:18,741
that she had moved straight
from her employment as the tutor

1516
01:23:18,952 --> 01:23:21,114
to Mlle. Norma Restarick
at Crosshedges

1517
01:23:21,330 --> 01:23:22,616
into setting up
her own establishment.

1518
01:23:22,831 --> 01:23:25,289
But that was when Mile. Norma
was five years of age.

1519
01:23:25,501 --> 01:23:27,412
And, well,
that is now since 20 years.

1520
01:23:27,628 --> 01:23:28,618
But Meadowfield School,

1521
01:23:28,837 --> 01:23:31,078
it was only established
it is now since 18 years.

1522
01:23:31,298 --> 01:23:33,005
So, what was she doing
in the two years in between?

1523
01:23:33,217 --> 01:23:35,333
And why had she left
her employment at Crosshedges

1524
01:23:35,552 --> 01:23:36,633
after so brief a time?

1525
01:23:36,845 --> 01:23:39,382
Now, I would like to ask you,
Sir Roderick,

1526
01:23:39,598 --> 01:23:40,804
to confirm my suspicions.

1527
01:23:41,016 --> 01:23:45,635
The reason why Mile. Battersby
left Crosshedges so abruptly

1528
01:23:45,854 --> 01:23:49,813
was because she had fallen
in love with Andrew Restarick

1529
01:23:50,025 --> 01:23:51,982
and conceived by him a child.

1530
01:23:52,194 --> 01:23:53,400
Am I correct?

1531
01:23:54,780 --> 01:23:56,646
Yes, Poirot.

1532
01:23:56,865 --> 01:23:59,607
You are correct.
She left suddenly.

1533
01:23:59,826 --> 01:24:00,987
Disappeared for two years.

1534
01:24:01,203 --> 01:24:02,284
<i>C'est ça!</i>

1535
01:24:02,496 --> 01:24:05,909
So she went away secretly
and bore the child.

1536
01:24:06,124 --> 01:24:07,410
A girl.

1537
01:24:07,626 --> 01:24:10,960
The half sister
to Mlle. Norma Restarick.

1538
01:24:11,171 --> 01:24:13,128
Is that not so, Mlle. Cary?

1539
01:24:14,883 --> 01:24:19,468
Or should I call you
Mile. Battersby?

1540
01:24:24,893 --> 01:24:28,136
I grew up dreaming
that one day I'd find my sister.

1541
01:24:28,355 --> 01:24:32,519
When I found her,
it was like a miracle.

1542
01:24:32,734 --> 01:24:34,816
I knew Claudia
worked for the family firm,

1543
01:24:35,028 --> 01:24:37,986
and I couldn't believe my luck
when Norma moved in, too.

1544
01:24:39,116 --> 01:24:41,653
I longed to tell her
she had a sister.

1545
01:24:43,412 --> 01:24:44,368
And now she'll never know.

1546
01:24:44,580 --> 01:24:46,070
<i>Non</i>.
And the irony?

1547
01:24:46,290 --> 01:24:48,372
With Mlle. Norma...

1548
01:24:49,376 --> 01:24:51,617
...gone...

1549
01:24:51,837 --> 01:24:54,454
you have a claim that is legal
to her fortune after all.

1550
01:24:54,673 --> 01:24:56,584
I see.

1551
01:25:01,096 --> 01:25:02,712
But nothing
can bring Norma back, can it?

1552
01:25:02,931 --> 01:25:04,342
<i>Non</i>.

1553
01:25:04,558 --> 01:25:07,425
Nothing can bring back
Mlle. Norma.

1554
01:25:09,521 --> 01:25:10,886
Constable.

1555
01:25:16,945 --> 01:25:19,312
[ Footsteps ]

1556
01:25:29,082 --> 01:25:30,493
Norma.

1557
01:25:31,835 --> 01:25:33,701
But you're dead.

1558
01:25:36,089 --> 01:25:39,298
-I saw you dead.
-You saw what you wanted to see.

1559
01:25:43,138 --> 01:25:47,097
<i>Messieurs-dames</i>, it is
now the time for Poirot

1560
01:25:47,309 --> 01:25:50,347
to unveil to you the truth.

1561
01:25:52,272 --> 01:25:55,560
When Mlle. Restarick
drew her bath this evening,

1562
01:25:55,776 --> 01:25:59,269
Mile. Cary saw this
as the opportunity irresistible

1563
01:25:59,488 --> 01:26:03,277
of replicating the circumstances
of the suicide of her mother.

1564
01:26:03,492 --> 01:26:07,110
But knowing this was going
to happen, I took a precaution.

1565
01:26:07,329 --> 01:26:10,196
You were observed
by M. David Baker

1566
01:26:10,415 --> 01:26:12,281
entering the bathroom
with a pillow.

1567
01:26:12,501 --> 01:26:16,711
Why?
In order to smother her.

1568
01:26:20,342 --> 01:26:21,673
This is risible.

1569
01:26:21,885 --> 01:26:23,876
Why would I ever do such a thing
to my sister?

1570
01:26:24,096 --> 01:26:25,803
POIROT: What revenge more sweet
could you have

1571
01:26:26,014 --> 01:26:26,970
on a man who had abandoned you,

1572
01:26:27,182 --> 01:26:30,800
than to steal the inheritance of
his daughter who was legitimate?

1573
01:26:31,019 --> 01:26:33,477
The inheritance
of your half sister

1574
01:26:33,689 --> 01:26:37,808
that was so privileged,
and by you so hated.

1575
01:26:38,026 --> 01:26:40,859
When your mother learned that
Monsieur [Chuckles] Restarick

1576
01:26:41,071 --> 01:26:43,403
had returned to this country,
she went to confront him.

1577
01:26:43,615 --> 01:26:46,983
But she found there instead
the impostor, M. Robert Orwell.

1578
01:26:47,202 --> 01:26:49,569
And most regrettably, she shared
this information with you.

1579
01:26:50,789 --> 01:26:52,655
And recognizing this
as the opportunity

1580
01:26:52,874 --> 01:26:56,412
for which you had wished
so long,

1581
01:26:56,628 --> 01:26:59,086
you, Mlle. Frances Cary,
unbeknown to your mother,

1582
01:26:59,297 --> 01:27:02,665
confronted the impostor,
M. Orwell,

1583
01:27:02,884 --> 01:27:06,002
and insisted that he join in
with your plan so terrible.

1584
01:27:06,221 --> 01:27:07,586
You wished to steal
the inheritance

1585
01:27:07,806 --> 01:27:09,171
of Mlle. Norma Restarick

1586
01:27:09,391 --> 01:27:13,100
by driving her to suicide
or insanity.

1587
01:27:13,311 --> 01:27:16,099
And in order to achieve
this end,

1588
01:27:16,314 --> 01:27:19,181
you had M. Orwell install her
in the building of apartments

1589
01:27:19,401 --> 01:27:22,109
that also housed Nanny Seagram,

1590
01:27:22,320 --> 01:27:24,527
a woman whose very presence
would remind her

1591
01:27:24,740 --> 01:27:29,860
of the guilt she felt
over the suicide of her mother.

1592
01:27:30,078 --> 01:27:32,194
You calculated the effect
that this would have

1593
01:27:32,414 --> 01:27:33,529
on a mind so fragile.

1594
01:27:33,749 --> 01:27:36,867
And you, as the actress
with aspirations,

1595
01:27:37,085 --> 01:27:38,200
of course you would
play the part

1596
01:27:38,420 --> 01:27:41,833
of the friend so loving
and so supportive, hein?

1597
01:27:43,133 --> 01:27:45,124
And <i>pauvre</i>
Mlle. Norma Restarick,

1598
01:27:45,343 --> 01:27:50,008
who is now so frail,
had became your prey.

1599
01:27:50,223 --> 01:27:53,011
You -- Oh, of course
you were always there for her.

1600
01:27:53,226 --> 01:27:54,216
<i>Norma?</i>

1601
01:27:54,436 --> 01:27:56,393
<i>Would you like me to come
and sit with you?</i>

1602
01:27:56,605 --> 01:27:58,687
Provoking memories
that were painful.

1603
01:27:58,899 --> 01:28:01,482
<i>Hurrah!
Who would like ice cream?</i>

1604
01:28:01,693 --> 01:28:04,060
You even planned
to steal away the young man

1605
01:28:04,279 --> 01:28:08,648
who tried to give to her
existence real love and hope.

1606
01:28:10,952 --> 01:28:12,238
But this campaign

1607
01:28:12,454 --> 01:28:14,240
against the psyche
of Mlle. Norma Restarick

1608
01:28:14,456 --> 01:28:19,246
reached its climax so inglorious
in the murder of Nanny Seagram.

1609
01:28:19,461 --> 01:28:21,748
It was no accident

1610
01:28:21,963 --> 01:28:24,705
that Mlle. Norma Restarick
felt responsible for her murder!

1611
01:28:24,925 --> 01:28:28,384
You orchestrated this conviction
with precision!

1612
01:28:28,595 --> 01:28:31,087
Your plan...

1613
01:28:31,306 --> 01:28:36,051
depended on two knives
that were identical.

1614
01:28:36,269 --> 01:28:38,556
The first knife
you left in her room

1615
01:28:38,772 --> 01:28:40,809
where you knew she would look.

1616
01:28:43,944 --> 01:28:45,605
And then before the party,

1617
01:28:45,821 --> 01:28:47,778
before Mlle. Restarick
could reach her,

1618
01:28:47,989 --> 01:28:51,732
you sealed the fate so brutally

1619
01:28:51,952 --> 01:28:55,991
of Nanny Seagram,
who was helpless...

1620
01:28:56,998 --> 01:29:00,116
...and left behind there
the second knife.

1621
01:29:04,506 --> 01:29:05,541
And then once you had learned

1622
01:29:05,757 --> 01:29:07,873
that Mlle. Norma Restarick
had discovered the body,

1623
01:29:08,093 --> 01:29:11,211
simply you had to remove
the first knife,

1624
01:29:11,429 --> 01:29:13,966
that Mlle. Norma
had left in her drawer.

1625
01:29:14,182 --> 01:29:17,300
And now with her mind
in a state of total confusion,

1626
01:29:17,519 --> 01:29:20,432
Mlle. Norma Restarick
was fully convinced

1627
01:29:20,647 --> 01:29:22,979
that she had committed the act,

1628
01:29:23,191 --> 01:29:25,307
and she was headed now perhaps
towards the suicide.

1629
01:29:25,527 --> 01:29:29,270
But when she confessed
to the murder,

1630
01:29:29,489 --> 01:29:31,355
the result would be the same.

1631
01:29:31,575 --> 01:29:32,565
She would hang.

1632
01:29:32,784 --> 01:29:35,321
And when she was released
from prison this morning,

1633
01:29:35,537 --> 01:29:38,996
there was only one option
open to you --

1634
01:29:39,207 --> 01:29:40,368
to hurry along her death.

1635
01:29:40,584 --> 01:29:41,824
But, I, Hercule Poirot,

1636
01:29:42,043 --> 01:29:44,535
had promised to himself
to save her.

1637
01:29:47,883 --> 01:29:50,341
And the only way
I could do this...

1638
01:29:52,596 --> 01:29:54,758
...was to kill her
before you could.

1639
01:30:02,230 --> 01:30:03,971
I had no part in this, Poirot.

1640
01:30:04,190 --> 01:30:04,975
Liar!

1641
01:30:05,191 --> 01:30:07,899
POIROT: In the murder of
Nanny Seagram, monsieur, <i>non</i>.

1642
01:30:08,111 --> 01:30:09,943
For, <i>en effet,</i>
you had provided for yourself

1643
01:30:10,155 --> 01:30:11,691
an alibi that night.

1644
01:30:11,907 --> 01:30:14,695
But I did wonder why someone
wanted to be somewhere else

1645
01:30:14,910 --> 01:30:17,948
IN a manner so obvious
on the night of the murder?

1646
01:30:18,163 --> 01:30:22,703
That night you were here, you
knew what was going to happen?

1647
01:30:22,918 --> 01:30:24,955
<i>Naturellement</i>.
How?

1648
01:30:25,170 --> 01:30:28,879
Because the killer was his
accomplice, Mlle. Frances Cary.

1649
01:30:33,011 --> 01:30:35,002
OLIVER:
Excuse me a moment.

1650
01:30:35,221 --> 01:30:37,553
Can you explain
why one of them decided

1651
01:30:37,766 --> 01:30:40,007
it was necessary to attack me?

1652
01:30:40,936 --> 01:30:42,893
Ah, <i>oui</i>.

1653
01:30:43,104 --> 01:30:46,517
Madame, all this hinges
on a letter

1654
01:30:46,733 --> 01:30:50,567
that was written
by Nanny Seagram.

1655
01:30:51,571 --> 01:30:56,987
She could endure the pretense
that M. Orwell was M. Restarick.

1656
01:30:57,202 --> 01:30:59,409
But the sheer wickedness
of this new conspiracy

1657
01:30:59,621 --> 01:31:01,032
proved too much for her.

1658
01:31:01,247 --> 01:31:04,365
So she wrote to you a letter,
did she not, monsieur,

1659
01:31:04,584 --> 01:31:07,076
threatening to denounce you
if you did not desist.

1660
01:31:07,295 --> 01:31:12,540
And in order to protect herself
from your retribution,

1661
01:31:12,759 --> 01:31:14,420
she hid a copy of that letter
to be read

1662
01:31:14,636 --> 01:31:16,547
in the event of her death

1663
01:31:16,763 --> 01:31:20,176
and told to you
that she had done so.

1664
01:31:20,392 --> 01:31:22,258
So now in your eyes,
Mile. Cary,

1665
01:31:22,477 --> 01:31:24,844
Nanny Seagram had to die,

1666
01:31:25,063 --> 01:31:27,304
and that letter
had to be retrieved.

1667
01:31:27,524 --> 01:31:30,107
But Mme. Oliver
had got there first.

1668
01:31:30,318 --> 01:31:33,436
It could not have been
M. Orwell or Mlle. Claudia

1669
01:31:33,655 --> 01:31:34,770
who had observed Mme. Oliver

1670
01:31:34,990 --> 01:31:36,651
retrieve that letter
so incriminating,

1671
01:31:36,866 --> 01:31:38,356
for they were with me.

1672
01:31:38,576 --> 01:31:41,864
Non, mademoiselle, it was
you yourself who observed her

1673
01:31:42,080 --> 01:31:45,072
and called M. Orwell
to inform him of this fact.

1674
01:31:45,291 --> 01:31:49,125
And when Mlle. Daphne
from The Merry Shamrock tearooms

1675
01:31:49,337 --> 01:31:50,623
telephoned to me to inform me

1676
01:31:50,839 --> 01:31:52,705
of the whereabouts
of Mme. Oliver,

1677
01:31:52,924 --> 01:31:54,835
you were listening in.

1678
01:31:55,927 --> 01:31:57,292
Ah, <i>oui, bien sir.</i>

1679
01:31:57,512 --> 01:32:00,630
I heard the click as you
replaced the telephone receiver

1680
01:32:00,849 --> 01:32:02,715
a second or two before I did.

1681
01:32:02,934 --> 01:32:07,019
And now you knew
exactly where was Mme. Oliver.

1682
01:32:08,857 --> 01:32:10,268
-[ <i>Thud</i> ]
-[ <i>Groans</i> ]

1683
01:32:11,651 --> 01:32:13,016
And now the letter
could no longer

1684
01:32:13,236 --> 01:32:15,068
get into the hands
of the police.

1685
01:32:15,280 --> 01:32:17,362
Now the conspirators were safe.

1686
01:32:17,574 --> 01:32:21,317
Whereupon Mlle. Claudia
denounced to the police

1687
01:32:21,536 --> 01:32:24,995
the <i>pauvre</i>
Mile. Norma Restarick.

1688
01:32:25,206 --> 01:32:29,666
He took me to dinner
and asked me to do it.

1689
01:32:30,545 --> 01:32:32,331
He said
he couldn't bring himself

1690
01:32:32,547 --> 01:32:34,333
to denounce
his own flesh and blood.

1691
01:32:34,549 --> 01:32:36,586
Oh, God, Norma.
I'm so sorry.

1692
01:32:36,801 --> 01:32:39,338
It was all his idea.
Can't you see that?

1693
01:32:39,554 --> 01:32:41,511
ORWELL: Oh, you're
a terrible actress, Frances.

1694
01:32:41,723 --> 01:32:43,179
And I'm a fool.

1695
01:32:43,391 --> 01:32:45,849
I warned you that your hatred
would get in the way.

1696
01:32:46,061 --> 01:32:47,597
But you wouldn't listen.

1697
01:32:49,230 --> 01:32:50,470
CONSTABLE: Miss...

1698
01:32:56,237 --> 01:32:57,819
Frances.

1699
01:32:59,449 --> 01:33:02,066
We're half sisters.

1700
01:33:02,285 --> 01:33:05,698
Look. David found it
in Uncle Roddy's box.

1701
01:33:05,914 --> 01:33:07,404
It's our father.

1702
01:33:08,458 --> 01:33:10,574
I see no resemblance.

1703
01:33:14,881 --> 01:33:16,713
What happened to my father?

1704
01:33:16,925 --> 01:33:20,293
An accident while we were
up-country together.

1705
01:33:20,512 --> 01:33:22,344
He was a good chap.

1706
01:33:22,555 --> 01:33:24,592
I always liked Andrew.

1707
01:33:24,808 --> 01:33:26,924
Have you nothing to say
to this poor creature

1708
01:33:27,143 --> 01:33:28,850
you tried to destroy?

1709
01:33:29,062 --> 01:33:33,522
Is there not one impulse
that is honest --

1710
01:33:33,733 --> 01:33:36,816
human, even --
in your heart so black?

1711
01:33:37,028 --> 01:33:39,235
What would you have me say?

1712
01:33:39,447 --> 01:33:41,154
NORMA: Did...

1713
01:33:42,158 --> 01:33:44,991
Did my father ever speak of me?

1714
01:33:45,203 --> 01:33:48,912
Well, M. Poirot wants honesty,

1715
01:33:49,124 --> 01:33:50,910
so I'll be honest.

1716
01:33:51,668 --> 01:33:54,501
I only ever heard Andrew
mention you once.

1717
01:33:56,965 --> 01:33:58,126
He said you were
the little bitch

1718
01:33:58,341 --> 01:34:00,173
who'd get all his wife's money.

1719
01:34:01,344 --> 01:34:04,257
RODERICK: I knew Andrew
was rotten, but you --

1720
01:34:04,472 --> 01:34:07,464
You beggar description!

1721
01:34:33,418 --> 01:34:34,908
Norma?

1722
01:34:49,601 --> 01:34:51,968
So Sonia wasn't a gold digger
after all.

1723
01:34:52,187 --> 01:34:54,098
POIROT: No.

1724
01:34:54,314 --> 01:34:56,601
Nor was the peacock.

1725
01:34:56,816 --> 01:34:58,932
How did you know?

1726
01:34:59,152 --> 01:35:01,644
Because you told that to me
yourself, madame.

1727
01:35:01,863 --> 01:35:04,321
You told me that you saw him
smile at her,

1728
01:35:04,532 --> 01:35:06,398
that he could not take his eyes
from hers.

1729
01:35:06,618 --> 01:35:08,154
And the moment I realized
that he was looking

1730
01:35:08,369 --> 01:35:11,236
for photographs of the family
to prove M. Orwell an imposter,

1731
01:35:11,456 --> 01:35:15,791
well, it was then I knew that
he was acting for Mlle. Norma

1732
01:35:16,002 --> 01:35:17,709
and not against her.

1733
01:35:19,130 --> 01:35:21,292
You do think of things,
don't you?

1734
01:35:21,507 --> 01:35:22,622
Ah.

1735
01:35:22,842 --> 01:35:24,298
What a calculating mind.

1736
01:35:24,510 --> 01:35:26,672
Tortuous.
That's what I call it. Tortuous.

1737
01:35:26,888 --> 01:35:29,129
Am I so calculating, madame?

1738
01:35:30,225 --> 01:35:34,219
Am I the solver of puzzles
with a heart that is cold?

1739
01:35:34,437 --> 01:35:37,429
Or are we looking
at the greatest of mysteries

1740
01:35:37,649 --> 01:35:39,105
that life ever throws up?

1741
01:35:40,193 --> 01:35:42,810
The mystery that even I,
Hercule Poirot,

1742
01:35:43,029 --> 01:35:44,940
will never be able to solve.

1743
01:35:47,909 --> 01:35:49,820
The nature of love.

1744
01:35:56,584 --> 01:35:58,416
[ Laughs ]

1745
01:36:02,257 --> 01:36:04,419
She smiles.

1746
01:36:16,104 --> 01:36:19,222
-Was that a tear?
-No, no, no, madame.

1747
01:36:19,440 --> 01:36:21,647
It is merely the breeze.
