I told you.
He was tall.

282
00:21:12,708 --> 00:21:13,957
He had on a dark suit.

283
00:21:14,791 --> 00:21:16,665
And I think...

284
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,665
I'm almost positive
that his hair was dark too,

285
00:21:21,166 --> 00:21:22,707

No, I don't...

294
00:21:43,916 --> 00:21:45,165
I don't think he did.

295
00:21:45,875 --> 00:21:48,540
Could it have been
Mrs. Carrington's husband?

00:21:49,333 --> 00:21:50,749

After you'd caught a glimpse
of this man

304
00:22:16,125 --> 00:22:19,540
you might or might not have
seen before, then what happened?

305
00:22:20,958 --> 00:22:21,999
I told you.

306
00:22:22,125 --> 00:22:24,915
Mrs. Carrington said
she had business on the train

307
00:22:25,041 --> 00:22:27,832
and that I was to take
the luggage and wait for her.

308
00:22:28,708 --> 00:22:30,707
Mr. Halliday tells me
that Mrs. Carrington

309
00:22:30,833 --> 00:22:34,290
had a lot of jewelry with her in
a blue morocco traveling case.

310
00:22:35,208 --> 00:22:37,415
That wasn't with the stuff
you took off the train?

311
00:22:37,541 --> 00:22:40,624
Oh, no, sir.
She kept that with her.

312
00:22:44,166 --> 00:22:45,707
What do you think, Poirot?

313
00:22:46,333 --> 00:22:48,707
I presume that the
traveling case of blue morocco

314
00:22:48,833 --> 00:22:50,082
was not discovered
with the body.

315
00:22:50,208 --> 00:22:51,874
You presume 100% correct.

316
00:22:52,208 --> 00:22:54,249
Mind you, that doesn't
necessarily signify.

317
00:22:56,083 --> 00:22:58,540
For whatever reason the murderer
had for killing her,

318
00:22:58,666 --> 00:23:01,540
he'd be a fool to let a bag full
of valuable jewelry go begging.

319
00:23:01,666 --> 00:23:03,207
Or perhaps he took it
to distract us

320
00:23:03,333 --> 00:23:04,374
from his real motive.

321
00:23:04,500 --> 00:23:05,790

322
00:23:23,500 --> 00:23:24,915
How long had she been dead

323
00:23:25,083 --> 00:23:26,915
when the body was discovered
at Plymouth?

324
00:23:27,041 --> 00:23:29,124
About three hours,
the doctor says.

325
00:23:30,208 --> 00:23:32,624
After Bristol,
the train stops at Weston,

326
00:23:33,666 --> 00:23:35,707
then not again until Taunton.

327
00:23:52,875 --> 00:23:54,832
According to the pathologist,

328
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,040
she was killed soon after
the train left Weston,

329
00:23:57,166 --> 00:23:58,124
at the very latest.

330
00:23:58,250 --> 00:23:59,457
Possibly before.

331
00:23:59,583 --> 00:24:01,290
Before the train
reached Weston even?

332
00:24:01,416 --> 00:24:02,374
Could be.

333
00:24:02,500 --> 00:24:05,374
The train for Plymouth
departs from Paddington station

334
00:24:05,500 --> 00:24:07,165
at 14 minutes past 12:00,
does it not?

335
00:24:07,291 --> 00:24:08,957
12:14, yes.

Excellent.

341
00:24:44,166 --> 00:24:46,832
And exactly 35 minutes
after leaving Bristol,

342
00:24:48,375 --> 00:24:49,415
at which time yesterday

343
00:24:49,541 --> 00:24:51,874
Mme. Carrington
was alive and well.

344
00:24:53,125 --> 00:24:54,874
The question is, Hastings,

345
00:24:56,041 --> 00:24:59,249
was Mme. Carrington still alive
and well at this moment?

346
00:24:59,750 --> 00:25:03,082
And if she was alive and well,
did she remain in the carriage

347
00:25:04,583 --> 00:25:07,499
or did she descend from
the train onto the platform,

348
00:25:09,333 --> 00:25:12,207
perhaps to stretch the legs,
take in the fresh air?

349
00:25:12,916 --> 00:25:14,790
And did anybody see her
doing it?

350
00:25:15,041 --> 00:25:17,082
Précisément.

351
00:25:18,916 --> 00:25:21,165
- Perhaps we should ask a porter.
- NEWSBOY: Papers!

352
00:25:21,291 --> 00:25:22,665
Yes, we could.

00:34:16,916 --> 00:34:19,249
No, no, no. He lost every penny
he had at the races.

528
00:34:19,375 --> 00:34:21,540
- Races? Who had? What races?
- Rupert Carrington.

529
00:34:21,666 --> 00:34:23,582
No, no, it's got nothing
to do with Carrington.

530
00:34:23,708 --> 00:34:25,040
Please, please, please,
my friends.

531
00:34:25,166 --> 00:34:26,415
If you please.

532
00:34:26,958 --> 00:34:28,374
How can I possibly arbitrate

533
00:34:28,500 --> 00:34:29,915
between your two
ingenious theories

534
00:34:30,041 --> 00:34:33,332
if I can hardly distinguish
one word of them?

535
00:34:35,083 --> 00:34:38,207
Now, Chief inspector,
your theory, as I understand it,

536
00:34:39,583 --> 00:34:41,249
is that the Comte de Rochefour

537
00:34:41,458 --> 00:34:44,249
intended to use Mme. Carrington
as a fall back on.

538
00:34:44,375 --> 00:34:46,124
If the takeover deal
went wrong,

539
00:34:46,250 --> 00:34:47,582
he would then demand of her
the money

540
00:34:47,708 --> 00:34:48,832
in order to redeem the bonds.

541
00:34:48,958 --> 00:34:49,874
He's admitted as much.

542
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,749
But the deal,
it did not go wrong, did it?

543
00:34:51,875 --> 00:34:55,415
So why should the count kill for
the jewels of Mme. Carrington?

544
00:34:55,666 --> 00:34:58,999
Whereas, Hastings, your theory
is that when M. Carrington

545
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,957
discovered that his certain
winner fell at the last fence,

546
00:35:03,083 --> 00:35:05,124
he then demanded from his wife
the money

547
00:35:05,250 --> 00:35:06,957
in order to remove the threat
of the bookmakers.

548
00:35:07,083 --> 00:35:09,249
And when she refused,
he killed her for her jewelry.

549
00:35:09,375 --> 00:35:10,124
Exactly.

550
00:35:10,250 --> 00:35:11,874
Then you tell me, Hastings,

551
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,249
why does M. Carrington
still lurk about his club,

552
00:35:14,375 --> 00:35:17,457
drinking himself into oblivion
and shaking with fear

553
00:35:17,958 --> 00:35:21,790
of what they might do to him,
these very same bookmakers?

554
00:35:23,250 --> 00:35:24,290
Bon.

555
00:35:24,416 --> 00:35:27,165
These feverish speculations,
they will not do.

556
00:35:27,541 --> 00:35:29,624
Order and method
will be our guides.

557
00:35:30,583 --> 00:35:32,249
Now, I have been consulting

558
00:35:33,083 --> 00:35:35,082
the admirable files
of Miss Lemon.

559
00:35:35,291 --> 00:35:37,874
So, Chief inspector,

and meet us at this address
at 9:00.

Find the jewels,
and you'll find the killer.

What's happening?

563
00:36:36,708 --> 00:36:37,957
Nothing.

00:36:42,208 --> 00:36:43,749
He's knocking at the door.

Someone's answered.

He's gone in.

00:36:58,875 --> 00:37:01,249
I wish I knew what he was up to.

I'm not quite clear
what this is about, Mister...

570
00:37:11,166 --> 00:37:13,249
A friend advised me
to get in touch with you.

571
00:37:13,375 --> 00:37:14,874
Friend?
What friend?

572
00:37:15,500 --> 00:37:17,415
He prefers to remain anonymous.

573
00:37:18,041 --> 00:37:19,290
Oh, yes.

574
00:37:20,458 --> 00:37:23,540
I don't think
I care for anonymous friends.

575
00:37:25,958 --> 00:37:29,665
My friend is anxious
to buy some jewelry.

576
00:37:30,750 --> 00:37:32,582
Plenty of shops around.

577
00:37:35,583 --> 00:37:36,999
You look like a jeweler.

578
00:37:37,708 --> 00:37:41,249
[ Chuckles ]
You're very acute, monsieur.

579
00:37:45,416 --> 00:37:46,999
Very well.

580
00:37:48,458 --> 00:37:50,374
Perhaps you read
of the jewelry robbery

581
00:37:50,500 --> 00:37:53,457
the day before yesterday
on the Plymouth Express?

582
00:37:54,916 --> 00:37:56,332
I don't read that sort of trash.

583
00:37:56,458 --> 00:37:58,165
You are very wise, monsieur.

584
00:37:58,916 --> 00:38:00,665
There is blood on those jewels.

585
00:38:01,166 --> 00:38:03,165
It will make them
very hard to sell.

586
00:38:03,541 --> 00:38:06,249
You're a funny little fellow,
aren't you?

587
00:38:07,375 --> 00:38:08,624
What are you?

588
00:38:10,166 --> 00:38:12,290
Montenegrin? Polish?

589
00:38:13,333 --> 00:38:16,249
Belgian, M. McKenzie.

590
00:38:17,666 --> 00:38:19,915
You see, those jewels
will have to be broken up,

591
00:38:20,041 --> 00:38:21,832
removed from their setting.

592
00:38:22,958 --> 00:38:24,624
And whoever tries to sell them

593
00:38:25,833 --> 00:38:29,124
will be lucky to receive
one-sixth of their true value.

594
00:38:30,916 --> 00:38:33,249
I don't know
what your game is, monsieur.

595
00:38:34,458 --> 00:38:35,707
I really don't.

596
00:38:36,291 --> 00:38:38,540
My friend
is a truly private collector.

597
00:38:39,958 --> 00:38:42,040
He would not be so fussy.

598
00:38:44,416 --> 00:38:46,165
He would not care if the jewelry

599
00:38:47,083 --> 00:38:49,624
were left
in its original condition.

600
00:38:51,375 --> 00:38:53,540
In fact, he would prefer it.

601
00:38:57,458 --> 00:38:59,207
Let's hope it stays fine
for him.

602
00:38:59,333 --> 00:39:00,665
You got the wrong shop.

603
00:39:01,958 --> 00:39:03,790
None of this
means anything to me.

604
00:39:04,791 --> 00:39:06,290
I see.

605
00:39:18,583 --> 00:39:21,665
Sorry I couldn't be of any help.

We all have false hopes,
M. McKenzie.

How'd it go, Poirot?

608
00:40:13,708 --> 00:40:14,832
It is him.

He denies all knowledge,
of course.

610

a duplicate of the coat
Mme. Carrington was wearing

612
00:40:20,833 --> 00:40:22,165
at the time of her death.

613
00:40:22,458 --> 00:40:23,832
Why did he need a duplicate?

614
00:40:23,958 --> 00:40:25,582
For his accomplice to wear,
Hastings.

615
00:40:25,708 --> 00:40:27,124
I didn't know
he had an accomplice.

616

But of course he did.

I was able to locate him.

The only thing that came between
you and Florence

631

was your character.

Neither did I at first,

Please, mademoiselle, allow me.

648
00:42:43,250 --> 00:42:46,457

Why did Florence Carrington so
desperately want that newspaper?

00:43:32,541 --> 00:43:36,457
The answer. The answer,

which will suggest
that the theft of the jewels

are not the principal cause
of the crime

00:44:28,958 --> 00:44:30,790

Just as the train reaches
Bristol station,

towards her carriage.

M. McKenzie descends
from the train

not only the jewels

but also the baggage
of Mme. Carrington.

688
00:45:59,833 --> 00:46:01,874
Now, if anybody had looked
at the carriage

689
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:03,999
as the train
left Bristol station,

690
00:46:04,250 --> 00:46:07,374
they would have noticed
Mme. Carrington alive and well.

Indeed, at Weston

692
00:46:09,833 --> 00:46:12,707
she apparently descended from
the train onto the platform,

693
00:46:12,833 --> 00:46:14,165
where she made a great fuss

about acquiring
the late edition.

695
00:46:17,083 --> 00:46:18,290
But this was to ensure

696
00:46:18,416 --> 00:46:20,874
that the newspaper boy
would remember her.

697
00:46:21,250 --> 00:46:22,457

The pathologist said
she was dead

Do we believe in ghosts?

704
00:46:34,625 --> 00:46:36,124
No.

705
00:46:37,958 --> 00:46:39,915
No, we do not.

706
00:46:43,791 --> 00:46:45,457
It was not poor Mlle. Florence

707
00:46:45,833 --> 00:46:48,415
who was seen traveling
on the train to Weston.

708
00:46:48,541 --> 00:46:50,040
It was not Mlle. Florence

709
00:46:50,625 --> 00:46:52,832
who made at Weston station
the fracas.

710
00:46:54,166 --> 00:46:56,290
It was the accomplice
of M. McKenzie,

711
00:46:57,416 --> 00:47:00,499
wearing the duplicate blue coat.

712
00:47:04,750 --> 00:47:08,124
To kill a fellow human being
is vile, my friends.

713
00:47:09,500 --> 00:47:12,582
But I wonder if to kill a fellow
human being with a knife

714
00:47:13,041 --> 00:47:14,290
is not the most vile.

715
00:47:15,250 --> 00:47:16,582
You look a proper lady.

716
00:47:18,125 --> 00:47:21,332
POIROT: To see the eyes of
the victim staring into yours,

717
00:47:21,791 --> 00:47:23,665
to feel the breath
upon her face,

718
00:47:24,875 --> 00:47:28,374
the scrape of the knifepoint
between her ribs.

719
00:47:31,041 --> 00:47:33,790
You see, the ruthless accomplice
of M. McKenzie

720
00:47:34,333 --> 00:47:35,999
was a woman called Grace Kidd,

721
00:47:37,041 --> 00:47:39,124
who was employed
by Mme. Carrington

722
00:47:39,250 --> 00:47:40,832
under the name of Jane Mason.

723
00:47:44,375 --> 00:47:45,957
Tell me, mademoiselle,

724
00:47:46,875 --> 00:47:48,665
was it absolutely necessary

725
00:47:49,041 --> 00:47:50,749
for a poor, wretched woman --

726
00:47:51,041 --> 00:47:53,957
who had never done to you
one moment's harm -- to die?

727
00:47:54,375 --> 00:47:55,707
Was there no other way?

728
00:47:55,916 --> 00:47:57,624
Oh, my God!

729
00:48:06,041 --> 00:48:10,415
Those jewels would have set us
up for the rest of our lives.

730
00:48:12,291 --> 00:48:13,540
Why take chances?

731
00:48:15,125 --> 00:48:16,749
JAPP: Right.
That'll be enough of that.

732
00:48:16,875 --> 00:48:18,499
Take her away, lads.

733
00:48:24,333 --> 00:48:26,457
Poor Florence.

734
00:48:28,083 --> 00:48:30,124
Poor, dear Florence.

735
00:48:35,208 --> 00:48:38,749
We found the jewel case in
McKenzie's house, Mr. Halliday.

736
00:48:41,833 --> 00:48:43,082
They're not mine.

737
00:48:43,750 --> 00:48:46,165
I know the contents
of my daughter's will.

738
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,374
They belong
to that creature there.

739
00:48:53,708 --> 00:48:54,957
No.

740
00:48:56,833 --> 00:48:58,124
No, I don't want them.

741
00:48:59,833 --> 00:49:02,707
I'm not going to profit
by Flossie's death.

742
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,165
ROCHEFOUR: Most sad.

743
00:49:27,791 --> 00:49:29,624
Most sad.

744
00:49:31,250 --> 00:49:32,499
I shall go now, I think.

745
00:49:33,791 --> 00:49:35,124
Oh, you think so, do you?

746
00:49:36,125 --> 00:49:38,249
You may not be a murderer,
M. Ie Comte,

747
00:49:38,750 --> 00:49:40,374
but you're still a swindler.

748
00:49:40,500 --> 00:49:43,165
You're coming back
to Scotland Yard.

749
00:49:53,958 --> 00:49:55,249
[ Door opens ]

750
00:49:56,916 --> 00:49:57,832
[ Door closes ]

751
00:49:57,958 --> 00:49:59,665
HALLIDAY:
Dear Mr. Poirot,

752
00:49:59,791 --> 00:50:01,874
I would like to express
my gratitude

753
00:50:02,375 --> 00:50:04,582
for your help
in this tragic business.

754
00:50:05,083 --> 00:50:07,582
Your logical
and businesslike approach

755
00:50:08,083 --> 00:50:11,332
was something I could cling to
in the depths of my despair.

756
00:50:12,083 --> 00:50:13,665
I hope sometime in the future

757
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,874
to be able to find a measure
of such quiet strength.

758
00:50:18,500 --> 00:50:21,999
Then, perhaps,
I can start again.

759
00:50:22,916 --> 00:50:25,790
I'm returning home
to the memory of happier times.

760
00:50:27,083 --> 00:50:30,665
Old friends may help me
live with the past.

761
00:50:35,083 --> 00:50:36,332
Poor M. Halliday.

762
00:50:36,666 --> 00:50:39,749
He says in his letter that
he will return to Australia,

763
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:44,332
immerse himself in his work,
and try to forget.

764
00:50:45,958 --> 00:50:48,540
He has been most excessive
in his generosity.

765
00:50:53,541 --> 00:50:55,249
Poor man.
