154
00:11:39,167 --> 00:11:41,579
This gentleman and I
were on the boat
155
00:11:41,708 --> 00:11:43,699
coming back from India together.
156
00:11:43,833 --> 00:11:47,997
I lent him my hot water bottle
when he had a toothache.

[Giggles]
158
00:11:56,292 --> 00:11:57,874

159
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,661
about that tooth,
Mr. Amberiotis?
160
00:11:59,833 --> 00:12:01,540
- Not yet, no.
161
00:12:01,667 --> 00:12:03,078
Il doesn't hurt so much.
162
00:12:03,208 --> 00:12:05,245
- That's very naughty of you.
163
00:12:05,375 --> 00:12:09,573
You must go and see my man,
Mr. Morley in Harley Street.
164
00:12:09,708 --> 00:12:12,370
As a matter of fact,
it's rather a coincidence.
165
00:12:12,500 --> 00:12:15,663
I saw him only this morning,
and as I was coming out,
166
00:12:15,792 --> 00:12:18,250
I ran into another old friend
from India-
167
00:12:18,375 --> 00:12:20,161
but from much longer ago,
of course.
168
00:12:20,292 --> 00:12:21,908

- Oh, yes, yes.
171
00:12:26,958 --> 00:12:28,540
When you were an actress.
172
00:12:28,667 --> 00:12:30,032
- Quite.
173
00:12:30,208 --> 00:12:32,620
And he's done awfully well,
I believe, since then.
174
00:12:32,750 --> 00:12:34,161
Mr. Alistair Blunt.
175
00:12:34,333 --> 00:12:37,576
- Mr. Alistair Blunt the banker?
176
00:12:37,708 --> 00:12:39,324
- I believe so.
177
00:12:39,458 --> 00:12:42,041
He certainly used to work
in a bank when he met Gerda.
178
00:12:42,167 --> 00:12:44,784
- Gerda?
179
00:12:44,917 --> 00:12:46,749
- His wife.
180
00:12:46,875 --> 00:12:49,663
Oh, we were such pals.
181
00:12:49,792 --> 00:12:51,999
Of course, she was
a better actress than I.
182
00:12:52,125 --> 00:12:54,833
I always said she'd gel on
in the profession,
183
00:12:54,958 --> 00:12:57,450
but she left it
to marry Alistair,
184
00:12:57,625 --> 00:13:00,697
and I left it to stay in India.
185
00:13:09,667 --> 00:13:11,578
- Thank you, sir.
186
00:14:06,875 --> 00:14:09,458
- Hold tight, please.
187
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:35,910
- On.
188
00:14:36,083 --> 00:14:37,244
- Yes, ma'am.
189
00:14:37,375 --> 00:14:39,241
- My name's Sainsbury Seale.
190
00:14:39,375 --> 00:14:40,490
Iwant to see Mrs. Blunt.
191
00:14:40,625 --> 00:14:42,457
She's staying with Mrs. Chapman.
192
00:14:42,583 --> 00:14:43,869
- Mrs. Chapman, right.
193
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,957
This way, ma'am.
194
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,082
Number 45, ma'am, just there.
195
00:14:53,208 --> 00:14:55,415
- Thank you so much.
196
00:15:00,833 --> 00:15:02,323
Gerda!
197
00:15:02,500 --> 00:15:05,868
After all these years.
198
00:15:07,542 --> 00:15:10,375
[telephone rings]
199
00:15:16,167 --> 00:15:19,740
- Where are you going
with those?
200
00:15:19,875 --> 00:15:21,661
- Miss Sainsbury Seale
telephoned, miss.
201
00:15:21,833 --> 00:15:23,244
She's moving
to the Carlisle Hotel
202
00:15:23,375 --> 00:15:26,163
in South Kensington,
wants her bags sent on.
203
00:15:26,292 --> 00:15:29,125
- Oh, yes.
Go on, then.
204
00:15:40,750 --> 00:15:43,868
- That damn boys late again.
205
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,447
And smoking
on the iront doorstep.
206
00:15:47,583 --> 00:15:50,120
Young people nowadays-
207
00:15:50,292 --> 00:15:53,080
unreliable, self-centered.
208
00:15:54,667 --> 00:15:57,409
The girls are as bad.
209
00:15:57,542 --> 00:15:59,158
Gladys isn't coming in today.
210
00:15:59,333 --> 00:16:01,620
Her aunt's had a stroke, and
she's had to go up to Yorkshire.
211
00:16:01,750 --> 00:16:03,991
- That's hardly
the girl's fault.
212
00:16:05,458 --> 00:16:07,699
- She's been different lately.
213
00:16:07,833 --> 00:16:09,665
It's that Frank Carter fellow.
214
00:16:09,792 --> 00:16:12,864
- Girls do fall in love, Henry.
215
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,081
- Love'?
216
00:16:14,208 --> 00:16:16,199
She's a cut above him,
lshould hope.
217
00:16:16,333 --> 00:16:18,165
You know he's in
with thal Blackshirt mob.
218
00:16:18,292 --> 00:16:20,454
Anyway, she shouldn't let it
affect her efficiency
219
00:16:20,583 --> 00:16:22,039
as my secretary.
220
00:16:22,167 --> 00:16:24,829
Let her fall in love
in her own time.
221
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,287
[knocking at door]
222
00:16:38,417 --> 00:16:41,739
- Good morning, Mr. Amberiotis.
223
00:16:41,875 --> 00:16:43,331
Is everything all right, sir?
224
00:16:43,458 --> 00:16:45,165
- What'?
225
00:16:45,292 --> 00:16:47,454
No.
226
00:16:47,583 --> 00:16:52,498
Yes, ifs just a...loothache.
227
00:16:55,917 --> 00:16:57,578
Take it away.

[buzzer buzzes]
241
00:18:24,208 --> 00:18:26,870
- Mr. Per-oat'?
242
00:18:51,708 --> 00:18:53,824
- Till the end
of the financial year.
243
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,412
- Thank you, Charles.
244
00:18:58,292 --> 00:18:59,498
Any other business?
245
00:18:59,625 --> 00:19:02,287
- There's the question
of the debenture issue.
246
00:19:02,417 --> 00:19:04,499
- That was covered
on the agenda.
247
00:19:04,625 --> 00:19:07,333
- Yes, but we left
the date open.
248
00:19:07,458 --> 00:19:08,948
- Quite.
249
00:19:09,083 --> 00:19:10,039
That's all, lthink.
250
00:19:10,208 --> 00:19:11,118
Meeting closed.
251
00:19:11,292 --> 00:19:13,624
Thank you, gentlemen.
252
00:19:20,042 --> 00:19:21,658
-A|| right, Alistail'?
253
00:19:21,792 --> 00:19:23,032
- All right'?
Yes, I'm fine.
254
00:19:23,167 --> 00:19:24,578
- Can I give you a lift'?
255
00:19:24,708 --> 00:19:26,870
- No, my cafs waiting.
I'm going to the dentist.
256
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,992
- I see. That's why you were
in such a bad mood.
257
00:19:30,125 --> 00:19:35,199
- We'll get your treatment
finished today, Mr. Poirot.
258
00:19:35,333 --> 00:19:36,915
Now, as I was saying,
259
00:19:37,042 --> 00:19:40,990
the important people,
they're always on time.
260
00:19:41,125 --> 00:19:43,708
Now, I've got a most important
man coming this morning.
261
00:19:43,833 --> 00:19:44,789
- [grunts inquiringly]
262
00:19:44,917 --> 00:19:46,123
- Mr. Alistair Blunt.
263
00:19:46,250 --> 00:19:47,536
J [myffled]
A||sta|r Blunt'?
264
00:19:47,667 --> 00:19:48,623
- Oh, yes.
265
00:19:48,792 --> 00:19:50,954
Always on time.
266
00:19:51,083 --> 00:19:53,450
Nice, unassuming fellow.
267
00:19:53,583 --> 00:19:57,030
Often sends his Rolls away
and walks back to the office
268
00:19:57,167 --> 00:19:58,453
just like you and me.
269
00:19:58,583 --> 00:20:01,200
You would never dream
he could buy up half Europe.
270
00:20:21,167 --> 00:20:22,123
[bell ringing]
271
00:20:22,292 --> 00:20:24,909
Well, good-bye, Mr. Poirot.
272
00:20:25,042 --> 00:20:26,248
Wasn't too bad this time,
was it'?
273
00:20:26,417 --> 00:20:27,373
- No.
274
00:20:27,500 --> 00:20:28,740
- Shall I ring for the lift
for you?
275
00:20:28,875 --> 00:20:30,411
- No, no, no, thank you.
lshall walk down.
276
00:20:30,542 --> 00:20:33,250
See you in six months.
277
00:20:57,042 --> 00:20:59,283
[buzzer buzzes]
278
00:21:03,792 --> 00:21:06,250
- Mr. Blunt.
279
00:21:11,542 --> 00:21:13,658
- Excuse me.
280
00:21:28,333 --> 00:21:29,573
" Ooh!
281
00:21:29,708 --> 00:21:32,200
- Oh!
282
00:21:35,458 --> 00:21:36,698
- So kind.
283
00:21:36,833 --> 00:21:38,073
- Not at all, madame.
284
00:21:38,208 --> 00:21:39,118
" Ooh!
285
00:21:39,250 --> 00:21:41,036
- Oh, dear.
286
00:21:41,167 --> 00:21:42,282
- Thank you.
287
00:21:42,458 --> 00:21:43,493
- You're welcome, madame.
288
00:21:43,625 --> 00:21:45,411
- Thank you so much.
289
00:21:45,583 --> 00:21:47,540
Girls: J' Nine, ten,
a big, fat hen J'
290
00:21:47,667 --> 00:21:50,125
[bell ringing]
291
00:21:52,750 --> 00:21:54,366
- I have an appointment
with Mr. Morley.
292
00:21:54,500 --> 00:21:55,456
- Name?
293
00:21:55,583 --> 00:21:59,247
- Miss Sainsbury Seale.
294
00:22:13,625 --> 00:22:16,617
[suspenseful music]
295
00:22:16,750 --> 00:22:24,750
IJ'
296
00:23:00,333 --> 00:23:03,451
. [laughs]
297
00:23:05,208 --> 00:23:06,869
- Well?
298
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,867
I have now been waiting
for 45 minutes.
299
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,662
My appointment
was for hali past 12:00.
300
00:23:12,833 --> 00:23:13,948
- Well, I know—
301
00:23:14,083 --> 00:23:16,120
- I shall now go back
to Worthing!
302
00:23:16,250 --> 00:23:20,619
You may tell Mr. Morley
that I am most displeased.
303
00:23:25,042 --> 00:23:28,080
Iam most displeased."
304
00:23:35,750 --> 00:23:37,240
[knocks softly]
305
00:23:40,583 --> 00:23:42,745
[knocks loudly]
306
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,116
Oh, my god.
307
00:24:28,333 --> 00:24:32,156
- Revolver grasped
in lifeless fingers.
308
00:24:32,292 --> 00:24:34,750
Doesn't seem to be much doubt
about it, does there?
309
00:24:34,875 --> 00:24:37,617
Il has to be suicide.
310
00:24:41,833 --> 00:24:43,665
- C'est inoroyable.
311
00:24:43,792 --> 00:24:47,330
-A|| right,
you can move him now.
312
00:24:47,458 --> 00:24:50,496
- So tell me,
Chief lnspeclorJapp.
313
00:24:50,625 --> 00:24:53,037
- Lived upstairs
with his sister.
314
00:24:53,167 --> 00:24:55,204
Hasn't been moody or depressed.
315
00:24:55,375 --> 00:24:57,116
I wondered
if you'd noticed anything
316
00:24:57,250 --> 00:24:58,411
when you saw him this morning.
317
00:24:58,542 --> 00:25:00,533
- Nothing at all.
318
00:25:00,667 --> 00:25:03,785
He was, what shall lsay,
normality itself.
319
00:25:05,292 --> 00:25:07,533
When did it occur, this tragedy?
320
00:25:07,667 --> 00:25:09,328
- Can't say exactly.
321
00:25:09,458 --> 00:25:11,665
Nobody seems to have heard
the shot,
322
00:25:11,792 --> 00:25:16,582
It was discovered about 1:30
by the pageboy, Alfred Biggs.
323
00:25:16,750 --> 00:25:18,286
- At what time
did Monsieur Morley
324
00:25:18,417 --> 00:25:20,328
last press the buzzer
for a new patient'?
325
00:25:20,458 --> 00:25:23,496
- 5 past 12:00,
and the boy showed up
326
00:25:23,625 --> 00:25:28,040
the patient who was waiting,
a Mr. Amberioiis,
327
00:25:28,167 --> 00:25:29,953
slaying at the Astoria Hotel,
328
00:25:30,083 --> 00:25:31,494
according to
the appointment book.
329
00:25:31,625 --> 00:25:35,493
- And at what time did he leave,
this Monsieur Amberiotis?
330
00:25:35,625 --> 00:25:36,990
- Well, the boy
didn't show him out,
331
00:25:37,125 --> 00:25:38,286
so he doesn't know.
332
00:25:38,417 --> 00:25:42,206
But I rang up the Astoria,
and Mr. Amberiotis says
333
00:25:42,333 --> 00:25:44,495
he looked at his watch
as he closed the front door
334
00:25:44,625 --> 00:25:47,993
and it was exactly
25 past 12:00.
335
00:25:50,667 --> 00:25:52,954
- So at 25 minutes past 12:00,
336
00:25:53,083 --> 00:25:54,790
our dentist,
he is the normal dentist, eh-
337
00:25:54,917 --> 00:25:56,783
cheerful, competent, urbane.
338
00:25:56,917 --> 00:26:00,035
And the very next moment,
despair, misery, what you will,
339
00:26:00,167 --> 00:26:01,828
and he shoots himself'?
340
00:26:01,958 --> 00:26:03,949
No.
341
00:26:04,083 --> 00:26:06,199
- It's quite incredible to me
342
00:26:06,333 --> 00:26:08,700
that my brother
should have commilled suicide.
343
00:26:08,833 --> 00:26:12,155
- He'd been quite
his usual self, had he, madam?
344
00:26:12,292 --> 00:26:13,953
Not upset in any way'?
345
00:26:14,083 --> 00:26:16,165
- He was annoyed.
346
00:26:16,292 --> 00:26:18,124
He had a busy day
in front of him,
347
00:26:18,250 --> 00:26:20,366
and his assistant
had received a lelegram
348
00:26:20,500 --> 00:26:22,491
to say her aunt had
had a stroke.
349
00:26:22,667 --> 00:26:24,954
She leit for Yorkshire
by an early train.
350
00:26:25,083 --> 00:26:28,496
- And your brother,
he was annoyed al this?
351
00:26:28,625 --> 00:26:30,787
- Well, the fact is...
352
00:26:30,917 --> 00:26:32,658
His assistanfs got engaged
353
00:26:32,833 --> 00:26:35,120
to a rather unsuitable
young man,
354
00:26:35,250 --> 00:26:37,537
and it occurred to Henry
that this young man
355
00:26:37,667 --> 00:26:39,624
had persuaded her
to take the day off.
356
00:26:39,750 --> 00:26:41,957
- What does he do,
lhis young man?
357
00:26:42,083 --> 00:26:46,407
- Frank Carter is-orwas-
an insurance clerk
358
00:26:46,542 --> 00:26:50,080
He lost his job a few weeks ago
and seems unable to get another.
359
00:26:50,208 --> 00:26:51,698
- Did your brother try
and persuade her
360
00:26:51,833 --> 00:26:53,119
to break off her engagement'?
361
00:26:53,250 --> 00:26:55,867
- Oh, yes, he did,
as a matter of fact.
362
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,322
- So this Frank Carterwould
quite possibly have a grudge
363
00:26:59,458 --> 00:27:00,539
against your brother.
364
00:27:00,667 --> 00:27:01,998
[knocking at door]
365
00:27:02,125 --> 00:27:03,456
- It's that Miss Neville.
366
00:27:03,583 --> 00:27:05,620
She's back in a rare taking,
she is.
367
00:27:05,750 --> 00:27:07,491
- The whole thing was
a wicked practical joke.
368
00:27:07,625 --> 00:27:09,491
There wasn't anything wrong
with Auntie at all.
369
00:27:09,625 --> 00:27:11,912
She couldn't understand it
when I suddenly turned up.
370
00:27:12,042 --> 00:27:13,328
- Are you quite sure
371
00:27:13,500 --> 00:27:16,333
it wasn't your friend Mr. Carter
who sent lhis telegram?
372
00:27:16,500 --> 00:27:19,037
- Frank?
Whatever for'?
373
00:27:19,167 --> 00:27:22,034
Oh, I see what you mean.
374
00:27:22,167 --> 00:27:23,328
A put-up job between us.
375
00:27:23,458 --> 00:27:25,244
We wouldn't do
a thing like that.
376
00:27:25,375 --> 00:27:27,082
- Tell me, mademoiselle,
377
00:27:27,208 --> 00:27:29,540
what patients had Mr. Morley
this morning'?
378
00:27:29,708 --> 00:27:32,746
- They're all in here.
379
00:27:38,500 --> 00:27:42,539
Um, at 10:00, Mrs. Soames
about her new plate.
380
00:27:42,667 --> 00:27:45,500
10:30, Lady Gregson.
She's an elderly lady.
381
00:27:45,625 --> 00:27:48,208
11:00, Mr. Hercule Poirot.
382
00:27:48,333 --> 00:27:50,745
Oh, that's you, isn't it'?
383
00:27:50,875 --> 00:27:54,789
11:30, Mr. Alistair Blunt-
you know, the banker.
384
00:27:54,917 --> 00:27:56,783
Then Miss Sainsbury Seale.
385
00:27:56,917 --> 00:27:58,248
She's just back from India.
386
00:27:58,375 --> 00:28:00,241
12:00, Mr. Amberiotis.
387
00:28:00,375 --> 00:28:02,332
He was a new patient,
388
00:28:02,458 --> 00:28:05,371
made his appointment
from the Astoria Hotel.
389
00:28:05,500 --> 00:28:09,789
And 12:30, Mrs. Pinner.
She comes up from Worthing.
390
00:28:12,167 --> 00:28:14,204
- If you please, Alfred,
tell me,
391
00:28:14,375 --> 00:28:16,537
is it possible
for anyone to enter the house
392
00:28:16,667 --> 00:28:18,123
without you
having to let them in?
393
00:28:18,250 --> 00:28:19,581
- Nah.
394
00:28:19,708 --> 00:28:20,948
No, not a chance.
395
00:28:21,083 --> 00:28:23,199
Well, not unless they got a key,
anyway.
396
00:28:23,333 --> 00:28:25,950
- But it is quite easy for them
to leave the house.
397
00:28:26,083 --> 00:28:28,165
- Oh, yeah.
398
00:28:28,292 --> 00:28:30,408
Yeah, most of them
come down the stairs
399
00:28:30,583 --> 00:28:32,745
while I'm taking the new party
up in the lifl, see.
400
00:28:32,875 --> 00:28:35,333
- Did you see Mr. Amberiolis
leave?
401
00:28:35,458 --> 00:28:36,823
- Nah.
402
00:28:36,958 --> 00:28:38,699
No, he must have
let himself out.
403
00:28:38,833 --> 00:28:40,574
- But you are quite sure
that nobody else came
404
00:28:40,750 --> 00:28:43,208
to the house this morning,
onlythe patients.
405
00:28:43,333 --> 00:28:45,449
- That Mrs. Nevi||e's young man
came round.
406
00:28:45,583 --> 00:28:48,075
In a bit of a paddy, he was,
not to find her here'
407
00:28:48,208 --> 00:28:50,449
- We haven't heard about this
before.
408
00:28:50,583 --> 00:28:52,073
- Well, when I told him
409
00:28:52,208 --> 00:28:53,164
Miss Neville was out
for the day,
410
00:28:53,292 --> 00:28:54,578
he got quite shirty,
411
00:28:54,708 --> 00:28:57,291
said he'd wail
and see Mr. Morley.
412
00:28:57,708 --> 00:28:59,244
Well, then he went
into lhe waiting room.
413
00:28:59,375 --> 00:29:01,332
You must have seen him there,
sir.
414
00:29:01,458 --> 00:29:03,324
- Ah, yes.
415
00:29:03,458 --> 00:29:06,166
The troubled young man
who would not sit down.
416
00:29:06,292 --> 00:29:09,330
- Yeah, must have got tired
of waiting, I suppose.
417
00:29:09,458 --> 00:29:11,790
He wasn't there later.
418
00:29:13,792 --> 00:29:16,864
- Why, Chief Inspector Japp,
an officer of your eminence,
419
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,867
is he usually called in
to a case of apparent suicide'?
420
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,331
- Alistair Blunt was here.
421
00:29:21,458 --> 00:29:24,780
Mr. Blunt is the kind of person
we take care of in this country.
422
00:29:24,917 --> 00:29:26,453
- You mean that there are
certain people
423
00:29:26,583 --> 00:29:27,789
who would like him
out of the way?
424
00:29:27,917 --> 00:29:28,952
- You bet there are.
425
00:29:29,083 --> 00:29:30,289
The Reds, to begin with.
426
00:29:30,458 --> 00:29:32,199
And our Blackshirted friends.
427
00:29:32,333 --> 00:29:33,823
This Blunt and his group
have a slanding
428
00:29:33,958 --> 00:29:35,448
behind the present government.
429
00:29:35,875 --> 00:29:37,206
- That is more or less
as I guessed.
430
00:29:43,583 --> 00:29:46,701
Tell me something about
Monsieur Blunt, Chief Inspector.
431
00:29:46,833 --> 00:29:48,289
- Alistair Blunt'?
432
00:29:48,417 --> 00:29:50,909
He controls all
the Arnholt interests in Europe
433
00:29:51,042 --> 00:29:53,124
as well as the merchant banks.
434
00:29:53,250 --> 00:29:55,867
He married into the family.
435
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,332
We oughtn'! spend too long
with him.
436
00:29:58,458 --> 00:30:00,244
I want to get on to the Astoria.
437
00:30:00,375 --> 00:30:02,867
As it stands at the moment,
this Mr. Amberiotis
438
00:30:03,042 --> 00:30:06,615
was the last person
to see Mr. Morley alive.
439
00:30:06,750 --> 00:30:09,117
- This is the second occasion
this year
440
00:30:09,250 --> 00:30:12,208
that my allowance has not been
paid on time, Alistair.
441
00:30:12,333 --> 00:30:16,122
- You must talkto the bank,
Julia, or to the trustees.
442
00:30:16,250 --> 00:30:20,448
- If only my poor dear sister
were still alive.
443
00:30:20,583 --> 00:30:21,698
- If she were alive, Mother,
444
00:30:21,833 --> 00:30:23,415
you couldn't benefit
from her will.
445
00:30:23,542 --> 00:30:25,579
- That is a wicked thing to say,
Jane.
446
00:30:25,708 --> 00:30:27,699
- It's not wicked; ifs true.
447
00:30:27,833 --> 00:30:30,951
- The truth is often wicked.
448
00:30:31,083 --> 00:30:34,201
- I'm sorry, Julie;
this is not my business.
449
00:30:34,333 --> 00:30:36,165
When I die, the capital
will come lo you,
450
00:30:36,292 --> 00:30:37,953
to do with exactly as you wish.
451
00:30:38,083 --> 00:30:39,573
Unlil then-
452
00:30:39,708 --> 00:30:44,453
- Until then, lam expected
to exist-l won'l say'
453
00:30:44,625 --> 00:30:47,367
on the pittance from the trust.
454
00:30:47,500 --> 00:30:52,825
- $25,000 a year can scarcely
be called a pittance.
455
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,957
- Do you think
Rebecca intended me
456
00:31:07,083 --> 00:31:08,665
to live on your charity?
457
00:31:08,792 --> 00:31:10,749
- It is not charity.
458
00:31:10,875 --> 00:31:13,207
[phone beeps]
459
00:31:13,333 --> 00:31:14,915
Yes, Miss Montressor.
460
00:31:15,083 --> 00:31:18,781
- A Chief Inspector Japp and
a Mr. Poirot to see you, sir.
461
00:31:18,917 --> 00:31:21,579
- Really'?
Would you show them in, please?
462
00:31:24,958 --> 00:31:26,073
Chief Inspector Japp.
463
00:31:26,250 --> 00:31:27,331
- How do you do, sir?
464
00:31:27,458 --> 00:31:29,540
This is Mr. Hercule Poirot.
465
00:31:29,667 --> 00:31:32,079
- I know your name, of course,
Monsieur Poirot,
466
00:31:32,208 --> 00:31:35,041
but surely somewhere
quite recently-
467
00:31:35,167 --> 00:31:36,407
- This morning, Monsieur Blunt.
468
00:31:36,542 --> 00:31:38,283
In the waiting room
of the dentist,
469
00:31:38,458 --> 00:31:39,914
the pauvre Monsieur Morley.
470
00:31:40,042 --> 00:31:42,329
- Yes, of course.
I knew I'd seen you somewhere.
471
00:31:42,500 --> 00:31:43,911
"Pauvre"?
472
00:31:44,042 --> 00:31:46,955
- Mr. Morley was found dead,
sir, shortly after you left,
473
00:31:47,083 --> 00:31:48,994
an apparent suicide.
474
00:31:50,833 --> 00:31:52,119
- Morley'?
475
00:31:52,250 --> 00:31:53,786
Suicide?
476
00:31:53,917 --> 00:31:55,658
- What an extraordinary thing.
477
00:31:55,792 --> 00:31:57,658
-Uh...
478
00:31:57,792 --> 00:31:58,782
Forgive me.
I'm sorry.
479
00:31:58,917 --> 00:32:00,783
This is my niece, Miss Olivera,
480
00:32:00,917 --> 00:32:02,533
and her mother, Mrs. Olivera.
481
00:32:02,667 --> 00:32:05,034
- Mademoiselle, madame.
482
00:32:05,167 --> 00:32:08,660
- |'ve never heard of a dentist
committing suicide before.
483
00:32:08,833 --> 00:32:11,370
Wouldn't happen in the States;
you can be sure of that.
484
00:32:11,500 --> 00:32:14,367
Theyre too damn rich
to kill themselves.
485
00:32:14,500 --> 00:32:17,822
- He seemed in good health and
spirits this morning, Mr. Blunt'?
486
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,616
- Well, llhink so, yes.
487
00:32:19,750 --> 00:32:21,366
- Have you seen him often?
488
00:32:21,500 --> 00:32:23,411
- This is
my ihird or fourth visit.
489
00:32:23,542 --> 00:32:24,782
- Monsieur Blunt, who was it
490
00:32:24,917 --> 00:32:26,874
that recommended to you
Monsieur Morley originally'?
491
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,992
- Arnholt, one of my directors.
Lionel ArnholL
492
00:32:30,167 --> 00:32:31,783
- We're just wondering,
you see, sir,
493
00:32:31,917 --> 00:32:33,874
whether it wasn't suicide
but murder
494
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,367
and the real target
was yourself.
495
00:32:38,875 --> 00:32:40,991
- But that doesn't make
any sense at all.
496
00:32:41,125 --> 00:32:42,991
- Well, none of it does
at the moment, sir.
497
00:32:43,125 --> 00:32:44,991
That's the problem.
498
00:33:12,667 --> 00:33:14,328
[bell dings]
499
00:33:14,458 --> 00:33:16,870
- Good evening.
500
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,367
- We'd like to see
Mr. Amberiotis.
501
00:33:19,500 --> 00:33:23,164
- I'm sorry, sir.
I'm afraid you can't.
502
00:33:23,292 --> 00:33:25,624
- Oh, yes, I can, my lad.
503
00:33:25,750 --> 00:33:26,706
Police.
504
00:33:26,833 --> 00:33:29,200
- You don't understand, sir.
505
00:33:29,333 --> 00:33:32,451
Mr. Amberiotis died
half an hour ago.
506
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,664
Girls: J' One, two J'
507
00:33:47,792 --> 00:33:52,036
J' Buckle my shoe J'
508
00:33:52,167 --> 00:33:56,536
J' Three, fourJ'
509
00:33:56,667 --> 00:34:00,956
J' Open the doorJ'
510
00:34:01,083 --> 00:34:05,407
J' One, two J'
511
00:34:05,583 --> 00:34:10,578
J' Buckle my shoe J'
512
00:34:19,125 --> 00:34:20,536
- Interesting.
513
00:34:20,667 --> 00:34:22,499
- Interesting, Dr. Bennett'?
514
00:34:22,625 --> 00:34:26,698
- Mr. Amberiotis died
of heart failure.
515
00:34:26,833 --> 00:34:28,995
- Heart failure?
516
00:34:29,125 --> 00:34:33,164
- Brought about by an overdose
of adrenaline and novocaine.
517
00:34:33,292 --> 00:34:34,532
- How large an overdose?
518
00:34:34,667 --> 00:34:35,953
- Oh, I can't say yet.
519
00:34:36,125 --> 00:34:38,412
These quantitative analyses
take time.
520
00:34:38,542 --> 00:34:39,907
I'll be able to tell you
tomorrow.
521
00:34:40,083 --> 00:34:42,165
- Novocaine's the stuff
dentists give you, isn't it'?
522
00:34:42,292 --> 00:34:43,578
- That's right, Chief Inspector.
523
00:34:43,708 --> 00:34:47,281
The subject had been
to the dentist, I believe.
524
00:34:52,958 --> 00:34:54,323
- What a washout.
525
00:34:54,458 --> 00:34:55,823
- What do you mean,
Chief lnspectufl
526
00:34:55,958 --> 00:34:58,620
- Morley makes a mistake
and injects an overdose.
527
00:34:58,750 --> 00:35:01,583
Then when Amberiotis is gone,
he realizes what he's done,
528
00:35:01,708 --> 00:35:03,574
can't face the music,
and shoots himself.
529
00:35:03,708 --> 00:35:05,870
- With a pistol
he is not known lo possess'?
530
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:07,661
- Relations don't know
everything.
531
00:35:07,792 --> 00:35:09,374
- No, that is true, of course.
532
00:35:09,542 --> 00:35:12,250
- Well, there we are, then.
533
00:35:12,375 --> 00:35:16,164
-All the same, Chief Inspector,
it does not quite satisfy me.
534
00:35:16,292 --> 00:35:17,953
- Ah, cheer up, Poirot.
535
00:35:18,083 --> 00:35:21,326
We can'! have
a nice juicy murder every time.
536
00:35:23,500 --> 00:35:26,913
- Committed suicide?
Mr. Morley!
537
00:35:27,042 --> 00:35:29,704
Poor man.
538
00:35:29,875 --> 00:35:32,993
I suppose he had something
on his mind.
539
00:35:33,125 --> 00:35:35,583
Such worrying times we live in.
540
00:35:35,708 --> 00:35:38,780
- Did he seem worried to you,
Miss Sainsbury Seale?
541
00:35:38,958 --> 00:35:44,533
- Well, |—| can'! really say,
you know, that he did.
542
00:35:44,667 --> 00:35:47,159
- Can you tell us who else
was in the waiting room
543
00:35:47,292 --> 00:35:48,407
while you were there?
544
00:35:48,542 --> 00:35:50,533
- Let me see.
545
00:35:50,667 --> 00:35:53,500
There was just one young man
there when I went in.
546
00:35:53,625 --> 00:35:54,831
I think he was in pain,
547
00:35:54,958 --> 00:35:56,574
because he was muttering
to himself
548
00:35:56,708 --> 00:35:58,415
and looking quite wild.
549
00:35:58,542 --> 00:36:01,330
And then suddenly he lumped up
and went oul.
550
00:36:01,458 --> 00:36:03,950
- And he was the only other
patient that you noticed?
551
00:36:04,083 --> 00:36:08,202
- A gentleman came
down the stairs and went out
552
00:36:08,333 --> 00:36:10,916
just as I went up to Mr. Morley.
553
00:36:11,042 --> 00:36:14,034
Oh, and I remember
a very peculiar foreigner
554
00:36:14,167 --> 00:36:17,000
came out of the house
just as I arrived.
555
00:36:17,125 --> 00:36:18,581
- [clears throat]
556
00:36:18,708 --> 00:36:20,790
- That was l, madame.
557
00:36:23,542 --> 00:36:25,032
- On.
558
00:36:25,167 --> 00:36:27,158
Oh, dear.
559
00:36:27,292 --> 00:36:28,703
Oh, do forgive me.
560
00:36:28,833 --> 00:36:30,289
Oh.
561
00:36:30,417 --> 00:36:32,124
The light in here is so dim.
562
00:36:32,250 --> 00:36:34,332
- Please calm yourself, madame.
563
00:36:34,458 --> 00:36:36,916
- Well, llhink
thafs about all,
564
00:36:37,042 --> 00:36:38,453
Miss Sainsbury Seale.
565
00:36:38,583 --> 00:36:39,948
We may require you
to give evidence
566
00:36:40,083 --> 00:36:41,494
at the inquest, of course.
567
00:36:41,625 --> 00:36:42,956
- Oh, no!
568
00:36:43,083 --> 00:36:44,790
I would be so nervous.
569
00:36:44,958 --> 00:36:47,290
- Well, no need to be nervous,
madam.
570
00:36:47,417 --> 00:36:49,658
Just stand up and speak clearly.
571
00:36:49,792 --> 00:36:50,873
- Oh!
572
00:36:51,042 --> 00:36:52,999
That's very amusing,
Chief Inspector.
573
00:36:53,167 --> 00:36:54,532
-|sit'?
574
00:36:54,667 --> 00:36:56,533
- I used to be an actress.
575
00:36:56,667 --> 00:36:58,749
Just small parts, you know.
576
00:36:58,875 --> 00:37:01,207
Then I went on a world tour-
577
00:37:01,333 --> 00:37:03,916
- Yes, well...
578
00:37:05,958 --> 00:37:08,871
- Well, if my name should be
in the papers-
579
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,037
as a witness at the inquest,
I mean-
580
00:37:11,167 --> 00:37:14,034
you will be sure that it's
spelled right, wonfi you'?
581
00:37:14,167 --> 00:37:17,660
Miss Mabelle Sainsbury Seale.
582
00:37:17,792 --> 00:37:21,990
Mabelle spelled M-a-b-e-l-l-e.
583
00:37:22,125 --> 00:37:24,036
[Giggles]
584
00:37:28,375 --> 00:37:30,662
- Blimey.
585
00:37:36,042 --> 00:37:37,828
- I can only give you
a few moments,
586
00:37:37,958 --> 00:37:40,245
l'm afraid, Mr. Poirot.
587
00:37:40,375 --> 00:37:42,867
I'm going to see Traviata
at Coven! Garden.
588
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,288
- Ah.
Thank you, MonsieurArnholt.
589
00:37:51,292 --> 00:37:53,283
- What's this all about'?
590
00:37:53,417 --> 00:37:57,536
- It is about the death of the
dentist Monsieur Henry Morley.
591
00:37:57,667 --> 00:37:58,998
Il was you, was it not,
592
00:37:59,167 --> 00:38:00,657
who recommended him
to Monsieur Blunt'?
593
00:38:00,792 --> 00:38:03,864
- Yes, |'ve been going to him
foryears.
594
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,786
You don't think I killed him,
do you?
595
00:38:05,917 --> 00:38:07,533
- Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
596
00:38:07,667 --> 00:38:09,658
Quelle idée.
No.
597
00:38:09,792 --> 00:38:11,533
It isjust that I'm given
to wonder
598
00:38:11,667 --> 00:38:14,955
whether Monsieur Blunt was not
perhaps the intended victim.
599
00:38:15,083 --> 00:38:17,450
- I don't quite see
how that works.
600
00:38:17,583 --> 00:38:18,618
- No.
601
00:38:18,750 --> 00:38:21,458
Al this moment,
MonsieurArnholt, neither do I.
602
00:38:21,583 --> 00:38:23,824
One grips at the straws.
603
00:38:23,958 --> 00:38:26,871
But tell me, Madame Olivera,
604
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:28,741
the sisler-in-law
to Monsieur Blunt,
605
00:38:28,875 --> 00:38:31,867
she is une dame formidable,
n'es!-ce pas?
606
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:33,707
- Oh, indeed.
607
00:38:33,833 --> 00:38:35,198
- How did Madame Olivera take
608
00:38:35,333 --> 00:38:37,870
to Monsieur Blunt marrying
her sister'!
609
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:39,707
I mean, after all,
610
00:38:39,833 --> 00:38:41,574
he was a mere employee
of the family business.
611
00:38:41,750 --> 00:38:43,115
- I don't know about "mere.
612
00:38:43,250 --> 00:38:46,868
Alistair was head of our
overseas investments department.
613
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:47,956
- Ah.
614
00:38:48,083 --> 00:38:50,825
- But I don't think Aunt Julia
looked at it like that anyway.
615
00:38:50,958 --> 00:38:54,781
They were so obviously
crazy aboul each other.
616
00:38:54,958 --> 00:38:57,575
Nobody, of course, knew,
but she was already suffering
617
00:38:57,708 --> 00:39:00,245
from the disease that killed her
four years later.
618
00:39:00,375 --> 00:39:02,787
. A tragedy-
619
00:39:02,917 --> 00:39:04,828
- Yes.
620
00:39:06,958 --> 00:39:08,744
- Pardon.
621
00:39:08,875 --> 00:39:13,494
I must detain you no longer
from your Monsieur Verdi.
622
00:39:13,625 --> 00:39:17,038
Monsieur Arnholt, I thank you
very much for your patience,
623
00:39:17,167 --> 00:39:20,000
and I hope that you enjoy
the opera.
624
00:39:20,125 --> 00:39:22,241
- Thank you.
625
00:39:26,417 --> 00:39:29,409
[intensifying dramatic music]
626
00:39:29,542 --> 00:39:33,866
IJ'
627
00:39:58,375 --> 00:40:00,036
- I formed the opinion
628
00:40:00,167 --> 00:40:03,000
that Mr. Amberiotis died
of heart failure
629
00:40:03,125 --> 00:40:04,832
caused by a large overdose
630
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:09,198
of a novocaine and adrenaline
mixture.
631
00:40:09,333 --> 00:40:12,780
- The dentist who treated
Mr. Amberiotis earlier
632
00:40:12,917 --> 00:40:14,407
on the day of his death
633
00:40:14,542 --> 00:40:17,409
is now himself dead,
I understand.
634
00:40:17,542 --> 00:40:19,249
- So I understand, sir.
635
00:40:19,375 --> 00:40:22,618
- Thank you, Dr. Bennett.
636
00:40:22,750 --> 00:40:24,957
- Thank you.
637
00:40:25,083 --> 00:40:28,656
- Well, there doesn't seem
much doubt, gentlemen,
638
00:40:28,792 --> 00:40:31,124
that this is a case
of accidental death,
639
00:40:31,250 --> 00:40:33,457
a very unfortunate case.
640
00:40:33,583 --> 00:40:38,373
Did Mr. Morley
accidentally give his patient
641
00:40:38,542 --> 00:40:42,365
too large a dose
of the anesthetic?
642
00:40:42,542 --> 00:40:48,163
Or did Mr. Amberiotis have
an unusual reaction to it'?
643
00:40:48,292 --> 00:40:52,741
Since Mr. Morley
is now himself dead,
644
00:40:52,875 --> 00:40:57,199
we shall never have the answer
to this.
645
00:40:57,333 --> 00:41:01,201
Nevertheless, it is your duty,
of course,
646
00:41:01,333 --> 00:41:05,156
gentlemen of the jury,
to consider all possibilities
647
00:41:05,292 --> 00:41:08,000
before you arrive
al your verdict.
648
00:41:08,125 --> 00:41:11,083
But I must remind you
that before...
649
00:41:23,708 --> 00:41:26,666
- Nobodys seen hide nor hair
of Miss Sainsbury Seale
650
00:41:26,792 --> 00:41:28,408
since Tuesday.
651
00:41:28,542 --> 00:41:32,661
Such a nice type of woman,
and she seemed so happy here.
652
00:41:32,792 --> 00:41:34,578
- I wouldn't have bothered you
with this, sir,
653
00:41:34,708 --> 00:41:36,870
but I remember she'd been
a witness in that other case.
654
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,411
- No, quite right, Beddoes.
655
00:41:42,542 --> 00:41:45,660
Why should she disappear?
656
00:41:48,958 --> 00:41:52,201
- Il is curious, you admit'?
657
00:41:52,333 --> 00:41:54,995
- There was nothing funny
about her, you know?
658
00:41:55,125 --> 00:41:56,786
A cable to Calcutta.
659
00:41:56,917 --> 00:41:59,158
Got the reply back last night.
660
00:41:59,292 --> 00:42:03,206
She went out there as an actress
and then took lo good works.
661
00:42:03,333 --> 00:42:06,621
Got hand in glove with
the missionaries, apparently.
662
00:42:06,792 --> 00:42:08,874
What I call a terrible woman
663
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:13,540
but definitely not the type
to get mixed up in a murder.
664
00:42:13,667 --> 00:42:16,159
You got anything?
665
00:42:16,292 --> 00:42:17,532
- Stockings.
666
00:42:17,667 --> 00:42:20,864
Ten-inch, cheap silk.
667
00:42:21,042 --> 00:42:25,411
Price: probably 2 shillings
and 11 pence.
668
00:42:25,542 --> 00:42:28,409
- You're not valuing
for probate, Poirot.
669
00:42:40,792 --> 00:42:43,159
- Mr. Poirot.
670
00:42:43,333 --> 00:42:44,949
- Mademoiselle Neville.
671
00:42:45,083 --> 00:42:46,994
What a pleasant surprise.
672
00:42:47,125 --> 00:42:48,911
- I'm so sorry to worry you
like this,
673
00:42:49,042 --> 00:42:50,703
but I had to see you.
674
00:42:50,833 --> 00:42:54,155
I was very upset by the inquest
this morning.
675
00:42:54,292 --> 00:42:56,829
It couldn't happen
the way they said it did-
676
00:42:56,958 --> 00:42:59,746
giving a patient an overdose,
I mean.
677
00:42:59,875 --> 00:43:01,286
The dentists get into the habit
678
00:43:01,417 --> 00:43:03,909
of giving the regulation amount
automatically.
679
00:43:04,042 --> 00:43:06,249
- But you did not say this
in the coronefs court.
680
00:43:06,375 --> 00:43:09,788
- I was afraid
of making things worse.
681
00:43:09,917 --> 00:43:11,874
People might think
he did il deliberately.
682
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,287
- I see.
683
00:43:14,417 --> 00:43:16,704
Shall we discuss this further?
684
00:43:16,875 --> 00:43:18,957
Come.
685
00:43:29,208 --> 00:43:31,495
I should like to know
a little bit more
686
00:43:31,625 --> 00:43:35,163
about the telegram you received
calling you away on that day.
687
00:43:35,292 --> 00:43:38,284
Do you yourself have any ideas
on the subject?
688
00:43:38,417 --> 00:43:40,374
- Not really.
689
00:43:42,708 --> 00:43:44,870
Frank, my friend,
690
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,867
accused me of wanting to go off
for the day with somebody else.
691
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,582
- Oh!
692
00:43:49,708 --> 00:43:52,450
- He's been very moody
and suspicious lately.
693
00:43:52,583 --> 00:43:53,914
Just losing his job
694
00:43:54,042 --> 00:43:55,908
and not being able
to get another one, I suppose.
695
00:43:56,042 --> 00:43:57,703
- And he was upset, was he not,
to discover
696
00:43:57,833 --> 00:43:59,073
that you had gone away
on that day'?
697
00:43:59,208 --> 00:44:00,164
- Yes.
698
00:44:00,292 --> 00:44:01,578
You see, he'd come round
lo tell me
699
00:44:01,708 --> 00:44:03,290
how he'd got
this marvelous newjob,
700
00:44:03,417 --> 00:44:04,703
£10 a week.
701
00:44:04,833 --> 00:44:05,868
- Ooh.
702
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,118
- He wanted me to know
right away.
703
00:44:09,250 --> 00:44:10,957
- And what is it,
this new job?
704
00:44:11,083 --> 00:44:14,781
- Oh, well, I don't know
all the details.
705
00:44:14,917 --> 00:44:16,999
Some government department.
706
00:44:17,125 --> 00:44:19,457
I have to write
to his London address,
707
00:44:19,583 --> 00:44:20,789
and the letters get forwarded.
708
00:44:20,917 --> 00:44:22,078
- Oh, la.
709
00:44:22,208 --> 00:44:25,200
Does that not seem to you
to be a little strange?
710
00:44:25,333 --> 00:44:26,744
- Well, I thought so,
711
00:44:26,917 --> 00:44:30,205
but Frank says
it's often done nowadays.
712
00:44:32,792 --> 00:44:36,535
- I should like to meet this
friend of yours, mademoiselle.
713
00:44:36,667 --> 00:44:38,283
- His only free day is Sunday.
714
00:44:38,417 --> 00:44:40,249
He's away in the country
all week.
715
00:44:40,375 --> 00:44:43,413
- Eh bien, tomorrow is Sunday.
716
00:44:43,542 --> 00:44:46,534
[rousing band music]
717
00:44:46,667 --> 00:44:54,540
IJ'
718
00:44:54,667 --> 00:44:56,453
- I'm fed up with 'earing
about Morley's death,
719
00:44:56,583 --> 00:44:57,914
to be quite honest.
720
00:44:58,042 --> 00:44:59,953
There wasn't anything
so wonderful about him
721
00:45:00,083 --> 00:45:01,869
that I could see.
722
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:03,786
- Tell me, Monsieur Carter,
723
00:45:03,917 --> 00:45:07,205
why were you in Harley Street
that day'?
724
00:45:08,375 --> 00:45:11,117
I saw you there
in the waiting room.
725
00:45:13,667 --> 00:45:15,624
-All right.
726
00:45:15,750 --> 00:45:16,990
Iwas gonna tell Morley
727
00:45:17,125 --> 00:45:19,207
that this business
of pulling Gladys against me
728
00:45:19,333 --> 00:45:21,950
had gone on long enough,
that I'd landed a good job,
729
00:45:22,083 --> 00:45:24,074
and that it was about time
she handed in her notice
730
00:45:24,208 --> 00:45:25,539
a thought about a trousseau.
731
00:45:25,667 --> 00:45:28,284
- But you did not actually
tell him these things?
732
00:45:28,417 --> 00:45:31,284
- I got fed up with waiting
in that dingy mausoleum,
733
00:45:31,417 --> 00:45:32,657
so I left.
734
00:45:32,792 --> 00:45:34,408
- Al what time did you leave?
735
00:45:34,542 --> 00:45:36,328
- I can't remember.
736
00:45:38,958 --> 00:45:42,405
L've got to get going;
the march will be starting soon.
737
00:45:42,542 --> 00:45:45,910
- It has been a great pleasure
to meet you, Monsieur Carter.
738
00:45:47,917 --> 00:45:52,787
And, yes, lam delighted
to hear about your newjob.
739
00:45:52,917 --> 00:45:56,364
The work, it is interesting,
nbst-ce pas?
740
00:45:56,500 --> 00:45:58,286
- Oh, yeah.
741
00:45:58,417 --> 00:46:00,124
You know.
742
00:46:00,292 --> 00:46:03,034
I'll see you next week, Gladys.
743
00:46:03,167 --> 00:46:04,077
- Bye, Frank.
744
00:46:04,208 --> 00:46:07,041
- Au revoir, Monsieur Carter.
745
00:46:30,625 --> 00:46:32,912
Are you receiving visitors,
mon ami?
746
00:46:33,042 --> 00:46:34,658
- Good heavens.
Poirol.
747
00:46:34,833 --> 00:46:35,868
- Chief Inspector.
748
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:37,456
- What on Earth brings you
to lsleworth
749
00:46:37,583 --> 00:46:38,618
on a Sunday afternoon?
750
00:46:38,750 --> 00:46:40,240
- Business.
What else?
751
00:46:40,375 --> 00:46:42,616
- Well, you better come inside
and have a cup of tea.
752
00:46:42,750 --> 00:46:44,912
- Thank you.
753
00:46:46,667 --> 00:46:50,240
. [whistling]
754
00:46:51,542 --> 00:46:53,954
- Madame Japp,
she is nol at home?
755
00:46:54,125 --> 00:46:55,365
- No, no.
756
00:46:55,500 --> 00:46:57,457
Some blessed meeting.
757
00:46:57,583 --> 00:47:00,780
Women's institute,
parish counsel, or something.
758
00:47:00,917 --> 00:47:03,124
I don't know.
759
00:47:03,292 --> 00:47:05,954
Do you lake sugar, Poirot'?
760
00:47:06,083 --> 00:47:07,869
- Do you have perhaps a tisane'?
761
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:09,161
- Come off iL Poirot.
762
00:47:09,333 --> 00:47:12,655
This is lsleworth, you know,
not Juan-les-Pins.
763
00:47:16,542 --> 00:47:18,829
What's the business, anyway'?
764
00:47:18,958 --> 00:47:21,416
- I wondered if you'd been able
to trace the telegram
765
00:47:21,583 --> 00:47:23,995
that was sent
to Mademoiselle Gladys Neville.
766
00:47:24,125 --> 00:47:26,116
- Yes, we did,
as a matter of fact.
767
00:47:26,250 --> 00:47:28,992
Rather clever.
768
00:47:29,125 --> 00:47:32,038
The aunt lives in Richmond
in Yorkshire.
769
00:47:32,167 --> 00:47:34,704
The telegram was handed in
in Richmond, Surrey,
770
00:47:34,833 --> 00:47:36,699
just down the road here.
771
00:47:36,833 --> 00:47:38,665
- Do you know what I think,
Chief Inspector?
772
00:47:38,833 --> 00:47:40,415
- What's that'?
773
00:47:45,083 --> 00:47:48,872
- I think that there are signs
of brains in this business.
774
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,708
- Well, the assistant
commissioner is satisfied
775
00:47:51,833 --> 00:47:53,119
that Morley killed himself.
776
00:47:53,250 --> 00:47:55,491
- Is he satisfied
with the disappearing lady'?
777
00:47:55,625 --> 00:47:59,619
-Ah, the case
of the disappearing Seale.
778
00:47:59,750 --> 00:48:01,161
No.
779
00:48:01,292 --> 00:48:03,579
I'm still working on that.
780
00:48:03,708 --> 00:48:06,996
She's got to be somewhere.
781
00:48:07,167 --> 00:48:10,080
Mm.
Garibaldi?
782
00:48:15,375 --> 00:48:17,958
-And I really think my feelings
oughl to be considered
783
00:48:18,083 --> 00:48:19,448
in the matter, Alistair.
784
00:48:19,583 --> 00:48:21,540
- But yourfeelings
have been considered, Mother.
785
00:48:21,667 --> 00:48:22,998
- Yes, Julia, that is true.
786
00:48:23,125 --> 00:48:25,287
[knocking at door]
787
00:48:25,458 --> 00:48:27,244
- Mr. Poirot to see you,
Mr. Blunt.
788
00:48:27,375 --> 00:48:28,706
- Thank you, Helen.
789
00:48:28,833 --> 00:48:30,744
Monsieur Poirot,
it's very good of you to come.
790
00:48:30,875 --> 00:48:31,831
- Monsieur Blunt.
791
00:48:31,958 --> 00:48:34,450
- Well!
792
00:48:34,625 --> 00:48:36,912
If you are going
lo talk horrors,
793
00:48:37,042 --> 00:48:39,283
I shall leave.
794
00:48:40,958 --> 00:48:42,244
-A||ow me.
795
00:48:42,375 --> 00:48:44,958
- I'll see you at home, Jane.
796
00:48:45,083 --> 00:48:47,916
- Madame.
797
00:48:48,042 --> 00:48:51,080
- You've met Miss Olivera,
lthink.
798
00:48:51,208 --> 00:48:52,869
- Oh, yes, indeed.
Mademoiselle.
799
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:54,616
- Please.
- Thank you.
800
00:48:54,750 --> 00:48:56,366
- I hope
I haven'l asked you here
801
00:48:56,500 --> 00:48:58,787
on a wild goose chase,
Mr. Poirot.
802
00:48:58,958 --> 00:49:01,700
It's about this missing woman
that the papers are full of,
803
00:49:01,833 --> 00:49:03,164
Miss Sainsbury Seale.
804
00:49:03,292 --> 00:49:05,033
- Yes.
- Jane?
805
00:49:05,167 --> 00:49:07,579
I'm sure
this is utterly unimportant.
806
00:49:07,708 --> 00:49:09,870
And why we are wasting
Mr. Poirofs time,
807
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:10,956
I really don't know.
808
00:49:11,125 --> 00:49:14,083
- If you please, Mr. Blunt,
allow Poirolto decide.
809
00:49:14,250 --> 00:49:16,912
- Well, Sainsbury Seale
is such a pompous name.
810
00:49:17,042 --> 00:49:18,624
That's why I remembered.
811
00:49:18,750 --> 00:49:19,740
It was the last time
812
00:49:19,875 --> 00:49:21,616
Uncle Alistair went
i0 the dentist.
813
00:49:21,750 --> 00:49:22,956
Well, I don't mean
the other day;
814
00:49:23,083 --> 00:49:24,539
I mean about a week ago.
815
00:49:24,667 --> 00:49:27,705
I was with him,
and we stopped in Harley Street,
816
00:49:27,833 --> 00:49:30,245
andjust as he got out,
a woman came out of the dentist,
817
00:49:30,417 --> 00:49:33,034
a middle-aged woman
with fussy hair
818
00:49:33,167 --> 00:49:35,408
and rather dowdy clothes.
819
00:49:35,583 --> 00:49:39,656
“Oh, Mr. Blunt, you don't
remember me, I'm sure
820
00:49:39,792 --> 00:49:41,078
- People are always saying that,
821
00:49:41,208 --> 00:49:42,573
and I never do.
822
00:49:42,708 --> 00:49:44,790
- "I was a great friend
of your wife's, you know."
823
00:49:44,917 --> 00:49:46,578
- They usually say that loo.
824
00:49:46,750 --> 00:49:48,457
Il always ends the same way:
825
00:49:48,583 --> 00:49:50,699
a subscription
to some charity or other.
826
00:49:50,833 --> 00:49:53,291
£5 to a zenana mission
this lime.
827
00:49:53,417 --> 00:49:55,909
- And had she really known
your wife, Monsieur Blunt'?
828
00:49:56,042 --> 00:49:57,908
- Well...
829
00:49:58,042 --> 00:49:59,407
the mention
of the zenana mission
830
00:49:59,542 --> 00:50:01,203
made me think she may have done.
831
00:50:01,333 --> 00:50:03,449
We were in India
about four years ago,
832
00:50:03,583 --> 00:50:05,039
just before my wife's death.
833
00:50:05,167 --> 00:50:07,283
Perhaps we met once
at a reception.
834
00:50:07,417 --> 00:50:08,782
- I think it's queer
835
00:50:08,917 --> 00:50:11,534
the way she tried to scrape
an acquaintance with you.
836
00:50:11,667 --> 00:50:16,491
- And she did not try to, um,
how do you say,
837
00:50:16,625 --> 00:50:17,956
follow it up in any way'?
838
00:50:18,125 --> 00:50:19,240
- Why, no.
839
00:50:19,375 --> 00:50:20,786
I'd forgotten her name, even,
840
00:50:20,917 --> 00:50:24,364
until Jane spotted it
in the paper.
841
00:50:24,500 --> 00:50:27,333
- Well, I just thought
you ought to be told,
842
00:50:27,458 --> 00:50:29,540
Monsieur Poirot.
843
00:50:35,042 --> 00:50:36,999
- Here.
844
00:50:37,125 --> 00:50:38,615
Here, Alison?
845
00:50:38,750 --> 00:50:40,115
- What'?
846
00:50:40,250 --> 00:50:43,208
- There's a thing here
about a woman who came here,
847
00:50:43,333 --> 00:50:45,700
Miss Sainsbury Seale.
848
00:50:45,833 --> 00:50:49,701
It says here she's missing.
849
00:50:51,458 --> 00:50:52,948
- You don't have a passkey'?
850
00:50:53,083 --> 00:50:55,165
- No, I've never had one.
851
00:50:55,292 --> 00:50:56,908
- We can'tjust break in.
852
00:50:57,042 --> 00:50:58,908
- Well, suppose
somethings happened to her.
853
00:50:59,042 --> 00:51:01,033
- Yes, and suppose
she's gone off on holidays.
854
00:51:01,167 --> 00:51:03,704
- Oh, no.
0h, no.
855
00:51:03,875 --> 00:51:06,913
- Go on, Sergeant.
856
00:51:08,750 --> 00:51:10,832
Right.
857
00:51:28,417 --> 00:51:29,452
- Mrs. Chapman!
858
00:51:29,583 --> 00:51:31,540
- Leave it to us.
859
00:51:32,625 --> 00:51:34,741
Mrs. Chapman!
860
00:51:37,458 --> 00:51:39,620
- Sergeant.
861
00:51:47,292 --> 00:51:49,249
Hello?
862
00:51:52,625 --> 00:51:55,162
Anybody there?
863
00:51:58,500 --> 00:52:00,787
Mrs. Chapman?
864
00:52:04,792 --> 00:52:07,159
Hello?
865
00:52:14,333 --> 00:52:16,745
Anybody here'?
866
00:52:27,375 --> 00:52:29,912
- This is the boxroom.
867
00:52:32,458 --> 00:52:33,744
- What's that'?
868
00:52:33,875 --> 00:52:35,707
- Well, I don'! know.
869
00:52:38,792 --> 00:52:40,578
[sniffing]
870
00:52:40,708 --> 00:52:43,291
- Shall I open it, Sarge?
871
00:52:43,417 --> 00:52:44,999
- Go on, then.
872
00:53:25,125 --> 00:53:27,366
It's not particularly pleasant.
873
00:53:27,500 --> 00:53:30,618
- [relching]
874
00:53:38,500 --> 00:53:40,867
- That's the porter
being sick, sir.
875
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,332
Ihad to gel him to have
another look at the body
876
00:53:43,458 --> 00:53:45,540
to idenlify it.
877
00:54:04,333 --> 00:54:07,780
- There's some brandy
in the other room.
878
00:54:23,417 --> 00:54:25,579
- Il was not pretty, that.
879
00:54:34,083 --> 00:54:36,700
Tell me all about it,
Chief Inspector.
880
00:54:36,833 --> 00:54:41,077
- The flat belongs
to a Mrs. Albert Chapman.
881
00:54:41,208 --> 00:54:43,199
Can't tell you much about her,
really.
882
00:54:43,333 --> 00:54:44,744
Pays her bills.
883
00:54:44,875 --> 00:54:46,582
Fond of a game of bridge.
884
00:54:46,708 --> 00:54:48,915
Keeps herself to herself
more or less.
885
00:54:50,917 --> 00:54:54,285
The neighbors say theyve hardly
ever seen her, in fact.
886
00:54:54,417 --> 00:54:57,079
Mr. Chapman's a commercial
traveler, apparently,
887
00:54:57,208 --> 00:55:00,746
so he spends most of his time
away from home.
888
00:55:00,875 --> 00:55:03,242
-And Mademoiselle
Sainsbury Seale?
889
00:55:03,417 --> 00:55:06,660
- She came here on the evening
of our interview with her,
890
00:55:06,792 --> 00:55:08,874
about 7:15.
891
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:10,911
The porters wife
was cleaning up here
892
00:55:11,042 --> 00:55:12,282
and saw her arrive.
893
00:55:12,417 --> 00:55:16,490
She'd been here once before,
the porter says.
894
00:55:16,667 --> 00:55:18,203
Now, one thing's for certain:
895
00:55:18,333 --> 00:55:21,405
Sylvia Chapman
or Sylvia's friends
896
00:55:21,542 --> 00:55:24,125
murdered the lady, put her
in the box, and made off.
897
00:55:24,250 --> 00:55:26,742
- But why was the face
so battered?
898
00:55:26,875 --> 00:55:28,661
- Sheer vindictiveness, maybe.
899
00:55:28,833 --> 00:55:30,244
Or it may have been
with the idea
900
00:55:30,375 --> 00:55:32,116
of concealing
the woman's identity.
901
00:55:32,250 --> 00:55:33,832
I don't know.
902
00:55:36,875 --> 00:55:40,118
No fingerprints anywhere,
3S fif 3S we can S66.
903
00:55:40,250 --> 00:55:42,537
- You mean every fingerprint
in the apartment
904
00:55:42,667 --> 00:55:44,283
was removed after the murder?
905
00:55:44,417 --> 00:55:46,374
- That's about the size of it.
906
00:56:27,833 --> 00:56:30,541
Something worrying you, Poirot'?
907
00:56:30,708 --> 00:56:32,574
' [sighs]
908
00:56:32,750 --> 00:56:34,332
Yes.
909
00:56:36,833 --> 00:56:40,371
Yes, I'm very seriously worried.
910
00:56:58,625 --> 00:57:02,789
There is here, you see,
an insoluble problem.
911
00:57:05,042 --> 00:57:08,410
- One patent leather shoe,
complete with buckle.
912
00:57:08,542 --> 00:57:09,498
What's wrong with that'?
913
00:57:09,625 --> 00:57:11,787
- Nothing.
914
00:57:11,917 --> 00:57:14,454
Absolutely nothing.
915
00:57:17,208 --> 00:57:21,907
All the same,
I do not understand.
916
00:57:28,458 --> 00:57:32,122
Some bearers
belonging lo Madame Chapman.
917
00:57:33,667 --> 00:57:35,123
Ah.
918
00:57:36,750 --> 00:57:39,458
Some old theater programs.
919
00:57:45,708 --> 00:57:47,699
A leaflet
about the zenana missions.
920
00:57:47,875 --> 00:57:50,333
- We can guess
who brought that here.
921
00:57:53,167 --> 00:57:56,034
- Nothing much of interest
in the address book either, sir.
922
00:57:56,167 --> 00:57:58,909
- No, so I see.
923
00:57:59,083 --> 00:58:00,699
Hairdressers.
924
00:58:00,833 --> 00:58:03,700
Dressmakers.
925
00:58:03,833 --> 00:58:05,119
A dentist.
926
00:58:05,250 --> 00:58:08,572
Morley, 168 Harley Street.
927
00:58:08,708 --> 00:58:10,073
- Not so strange
928
00:58:10,250 --> 00:58:12,742
if she was a friend
of the Sainsbury Seals woman.
929
00:58:36,708 --> 00:58:38,244
Pardon.
930
00:58:38,375 --> 00:58:41,037
- Mr. Poirot'?
931
00:58:41,167 --> 00:58:42,908
What brings you here'?
932
00:58:43,042 --> 00:58:45,283
- Tell me, if you please,
933
00:58:45,417 --> 00:58:48,955
did your brother ever mention
to you in particular
934
00:58:49,083 --> 00:58:52,201
a Mademoiselle Sainsbury Seale
or a Madame Chapman?
935
00:58:52,333 --> 00:58:54,074
- No.
936
00:58:54,208 --> 00:58:55,994
No, ldon'! think so.
937
00:58:56,125 --> 00:58:57,160
- I managed to make this
938
00:58:57,292 --> 00:58:58,953
before they took everything,
Miss Morley.
939
00:58:59,083 --> 00:59:00,323
- Oh, thank you, Agnes.
940
00:59:00,458 --> 00:59:02,495
Would you like a cup, sir?
941
00:59:02,625 --> 00:59:06,289
- Not for me, Agnes.
Thank you very much.
942
00:59:06,417 --> 00:59:09,079
- Agnes is coming with me
to the country.
943
00:59:09,208 --> 00:59:11,165
She's becoming
quite a good little cook,
944
00:59:11,292 --> 00:59:14,034
so she'll be able
to do everything for me.
945
00:59:28,542 --> 00:59:30,203
- Excuse me, sir...
- Yes.
946
00:59:30,375 --> 00:59:32,742
- For asking.
- Yes.
947
00:59:32,875 --> 00:59:34,206
- But does anyone know
anything more
948
00:59:34,333 --> 00:59:35,994
about the masters death, sir?
949
00:59:36,125 --> 00:59:38,583
- Nothing fresh
has come lo light, Agnes.
950
00:59:38,708 --> 00:59:40,324
- They're still quite sure
he shot himself
951
00:59:40,458 --> 00:59:42,369
because he'd made a mistake
with that drug.
952
00:59:42,500 --> 00:59:44,582
- Yes.
953
00:59:44,708 --> 00:59:45,664
Why do you ask'?
954
00:59:45,792 --> 00:59:47,658
- I only-
- Agnes'!
955
00:59:47,792 --> 00:59:49,908
- I just want to be sure, sir.
956
00:59:50,042 --> 00:59:52,409
. Agnes!
957
01:00:16,750 --> 01:00:18,787
- Ah, Chief Inspector.
- No time, Poirot.
958
01:00:18,917 --> 01:00:20,328
We found
Mr. and Mrs. Albert Chapman.
959
01:00:20,458 --> 01:00:21,664
- Where?
960
01:00:21,792 --> 01:00:23,783
- They booked into the
Montague Hotel this morning.
961
01:00:23,917 --> 01:00:25,248
- The Montague Hotel,
Bloomsbury'?
962
01:00:25,375 --> 01:00:26,331
- That's right.
963
01:00:26,458 --> 01:00:27,789
- It is odd, is it not,
964
01:00:27,917 --> 01:00:30,500
being on the run after murdering
Mademoiselle Sainsbury Seale,
965
01:00:30,625 --> 01:00:32,241
that they have not run further?
966
01:00:32,417 --> 01:00:35,125
- You never can tell
with the criminal mind, Poirot.
967
01:00:43,167 --> 01:00:45,499
- Open up!
968
01:00:45,625 --> 01:00:46,615
- Who is it'?
969
01:00:46,750 --> 01:00:48,411
- Police.
970
01:00:48,583 --> 01:00:49,823
- Police?
971
01:00:49,958 --> 01:00:53,030
- Just open the door,
Mr. Chapman.
972
01:00:53,167 --> 01:00:55,454
[lock clicking]
973
01:00:55,583 --> 01:00:56,948
- Here!
974
01:00:57,083 --> 01:00:59,199
- All right, there's no need
for anyone to get hurl.
975
01:00:59,333 --> 01:01:01,916
You are Mr. Albert Chapman?
976
01:01:02,042 --> 01:01:03,077
- Yes.
977
01:01:03,208 --> 01:01:06,166
-And this is Mrs. Chapman?
978
01:01:06,292 --> 01:01:08,078
- Yes.
979
01:01:08,208 --> 01:01:09,414
What's the meaning of this?
980
01:01:09,542 --> 01:01:11,124
- L'll ask the questions, sir.
981
01:01:11,250 --> 01:01:13,082
Do you live
at number 45 Lichfield Court
982
01:01:13,208 --> 01:01:14,323
in Batlersea in the-
983
01:01:14,458 --> 01:01:15,664
- No.
984
01:01:15,792 --> 01:01:17,123
- What do you mean, "no"?
985
01:01:17,250 --> 01:01:18,581
- Well, we don't.
986
01:01:19,958 --> 01:01:21,448
Do we, Beryl?
987
01:01:21,583 --> 01:01:22,789
- Beryl?
988
01:01:22,917 --> 01:01:25,204
- What's wrong with "Beryl"?
989
01:01:25,333 --> 01:01:28,655
We happen to know that your name
is Sylvia, Mrs. Chapman.
990
01:01:28,792 --> 01:01:30,408
- What are you talking about'?
991
01:01:30,542 --> 01:01:32,533
- We live in Budleigh Sallerton,
992
01:01:32,667 --> 01:01:35,705
not lhis...Lichfie|d place.
993
01:01:35,833 --> 01:01:37,790
- You have proof of that,
I suppose.
994
01:01:37,917 --> 01:01:39,407
- Well, no, I haven'l—
995
01:01:39,542 --> 01:01:41,658
Yes, I have.
996
01:01:41,792 --> 01:01:44,159
- Watch him, Beddoes.
997
01:01:50,125 --> 01:01:52,207
What's this?
998
01:01:52,333 --> 01:01:54,825
- Our wedding lines,
if you must know.
999
01:01:54,958 --> 01:01:59,282
- We were married this morning.
1000
01:03:12,125 --> 01:03:14,082
- I swear by almighty God
1001
01:03:14,208 --> 01:03:16,165
that the evidence I shall give
1002
01:03:16,292 --> 01:03:18,659
shall be the truth,
the whole truth,
1003
01:03:18,833 --> 01:03:21,165
and nothing but the truth.
1004
01:03:23,375 --> 01:03:26,288
- You are Mr. John Leatheran?
1005
01:03:26,417 --> 01:03:27,373
- Yes, sir.
1006
01:03:27,500 --> 01:03:29,082
- And you are a dentist.
1007
01:03:29,208 --> 01:03:30,698
- Yes, sir.
1008
01:03:30,833 --> 01:03:32,244
I've taken over
the dental practice
1009
01:03:32,375 --> 01:03:35,083
of the late Mr, Henry Morley
at 168 Harley Slreet.
1010
01:03:35,208 --> 01:03:37,370
- I see.
1011
01:03:37,500 --> 01:03:39,116
You were recently called
1012
01:03:39,250 --> 01:03:41,332
to examine the body
of the deceased
1013
01:03:41,458 --> 01:03:43,699
for purposes of identification.
1014
01:03:46,333 --> 01:03:47,289
Were you not'?
1015
01:03:47,417 --> 01:03:48,999
- I was, sir.
1016
01:03:49,125 --> 01:03:50,365
The police believed the body
1017
01:03:50,500 --> 01:03:52,832
to be that of
Miss Mabelle Sainsbury Seale,
1018
01:03:52,958 --> 01:03:54,323
who was a patient
of Mr. Morleys.
1019
01:03:54,458 --> 01:03:55,948
- I see.
1020
01:03:56,083 --> 01:04:00,532
You've inherited, as it were,
the late Mr. Morleys patients.
1021
01:04:00,667 --> 01:04:01,702
- That's right, sir.
1022
01:04:01,833 --> 01:04:03,323
- And, of course,
their denial records.
1023
01:04:03,500 --> 01:04:04,661
- Quite.
1024
01:04:04,792 --> 01:04:08,365
-And could you identify
the body from these records?
1025
01:04:08,542 --> 01:04:09,782
- I could, sir.
1026
01:04:09,917 --> 01:04:12,033
Il was not Miss Sainsbury Seale.
1027
01:04:12,167 --> 01:04:16,456
It was Mrs. Sylvia Chapman,
another patient of Mr. Marley's.
1028
01:04:16,583 --> 01:04:19,575
[dramatic music]
1029
01:04:19,750 --> 01:04:27,750
IJ'
1030
01:04:30,125 --> 01:04:32,116
- The {air Mabelle
put one over on us
1031
01:04:32,250 --> 01:04:33,490
good and proper.
1032
01:04:33,625 --> 01:04:35,957
I wouldn't have thought
she was capable of murder,
1033
01:04:36,083 --> 01:04:37,494
but that's what it looks like
HOW.
1034
01:04:37,625 --> 01:04:41,493
Sylvia didn't murder Mabelle;
Mabelle murdered Sylvia.
1035
01:04:41,625 --> 01:04:43,241
- Perhaps.
1036
01:04:43,375 --> 01:04:46,333
- It crossed my mind that Morley
might have been killed
1037
01:04:46,458 --> 01:04:48,324
so he couldn't identify
the body.
1038
01:04:48,458 --> 01:04:50,290
- But, as you have just heard,
Chiei Inspector,
1039
01:04:50,417 --> 01:04:51,953
the records
would still have existed.
1040
01:04:52,083 --> 01:04:53,994
- That's right.
1041
01:04:54,125 --> 01:04:56,162
Anyway, I'm going back lo work.
1042
01:04:56,333 --> 01:04:57,664
- 0h, Chief Inspector.
1043
01:04:57,792 --> 01:05:00,750
This morning, I received
a letter from Monsieur Blunt.
1044
01:05:00,875 --> 01:05:03,037
He has invited me to his house
in the country.
1045
01:05:03,167 --> 01:05:05,124
He may have a commission for me.
1046
01:05:05,250 --> 01:05:08,117
- Well, you always did move
in exalted circles, Poirot.
1047
01:05:22,167 --> 01:05:24,625
- Helen isn't dining with us
tonight'!
1048
01:05:24,792 --> 01:05:29,616
- I suggested that it would be
far better for her to rest
1049
01:05:29,792 --> 01:05:32,250
than to go to all the bother
of dressing herself up
1050
01:05:32,375 --> 01:05:33,615
and coming down.
1051
01:05:33,750 --> 01:05:36,708
She saw my point.
1052
01:05:36,875 --> 01:05:38,286
- Oh?
1053
01:05:38,417 --> 01:05:40,408
I thought it might make
a pleasant change for her.
1054
01:05:40,542 --> 01:05:44,365
- I really don't see why
you need a secretary
1055
01:05:44,500 --> 01:05:46,662
during the weekend anyway.
1056
01:05:48,708 --> 01:05:49,948
- She's new to thejob.
1057
01:05:50,125 --> 01:05:52,537
There's a lot
she needs to learn.
1058
01:06:02,750 --> 01:06:04,366
Monsieur Poirot'?
1059
01:06:07,083 --> 01:06:08,573
There is a great deal
about which
1060
01:06:08,708 --> 01:06:12,121
lam not entirely satisfied.
1061
01:06:12,250 --> 01:06:16,073
- What do you want of me,
Monsieur Blunt'?
1062
01:06:16,208 --> 01:06:19,621
- I want you to find this woman
Sainsbury Seale.
1063
01:06:19,750 --> 01:06:22,037
-A|ive or dead'?
1064
01:06:23,458 --> 01:06:25,199
- You think she may be dead.
1065
01:06:32,417 --> 01:06:34,283
- I think...
1066
01:06:34,417 --> 01:06:36,374
She might be dead, yes.
1067
01:06:36,500 --> 01:06:38,787
- Why do you think so?
1068
01:06:41,125 --> 01:06:45,289
- Because of a pair of new
silk stockings I discovered.
1069
01:06:45,417 --> 01:06:49,456
. [laughs]
1070
01:06:49,583 --> 01:06:51,540
You're an odd man,
Monsieur Poirot.
1071
01:06:51,667 --> 01:06:53,078
- Oh, yes, I am.
1072
01:06:53,208 --> 01:06:55,415
Very odd.
1073
01:06:55,542 --> 01:07:01,037
That is to say, lam methodical,
orderly, and logical,
1074
01:07:01,208 --> 01:07:03,700
and ldo not like
lo distort facts
1075
01:07:03,833 --> 01:07:05,915
to support a theory.
1076
01:07:42,917 --> 01:07:44,828
Good morning.
1077
01:08:19,333 --> 01:08:20,698
- Good morning, Monsieur Poirot.
1078
01:08:20,833 --> 01:08:21,948
Did you sleep well?
1079
01:08:22,083 --> 01:08:24,495
- Excellently.
Thank you, Monsieur Blunt.
1080
01:08:24,625 --> 01:08:25,831
Good morning, mademoiselle.
1081
01:08:25,958 --> 01:08:27,995
- Good morning, Mr. Poirot.
1082
01:08:30,125 --> 01:08:33,117
I would prefer not to accept
any invitations, Mr. Blunt,
1083
01:08:33,250 --> 01:08:36,242
while your American relations
are with you.
1084
01:08:42,667 --> 01:08:44,408
- Good morning.
1085
01:08:44,542 --> 01:08:46,408
Julia.
1086
01:08:46,542 --> 01:08:48,408
I'm afraid you rather hurt
Helen's feelings.
1087
01:08:48,542 --> 01:08:50,704
- Oh, for heaven's sake,
Alistair.
1088
01:08:50,875 --> 01:08:53,458
She's only a secretary.
1089
01:08:59,042 --> 01:09:01,830
- I notice
that you have a gardener
1090
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:04,116
who you must have employed
recently.
1091
01:09:05,792 --> 01:09:08,625
- Yes, we took one on
a couple of weeks ago.
1092
01:09:08,750 --> 01:09:11,367
- Do you know
from where he came?
1093
01:09:11,500 --> 01:09:13,161
- I'm afraid not.
1094
01:09:13,292 --> 01:09:15,408
MacAlister, the head gardener,
engaged him.
1095
01:09:15,542 --> 01:09:17,658
- Oh.
What is his name?
1096
01:09:17,792 --> 01:09:18,907
- Well, I don'! know.
1097
01:09:19,042 --> 01:09:21,909
Dunning, Sunbury,
something of the sort.
1098
01:09:28,417 --> 01:09:29,782
- Seems like lots of people
1099
01:09:29,917 --> 01:09:31,578
are out for your blood,
Uncle Alislair.
1100
01:09:31,708 --> 01:09:35,121
- 0h, really'?
What are you reading?
1101
01:09:35,250 --> 01:09:36,911
Oh, the debate in the House.
1102
01:09:37,042 --> 01:09:38,498
That's only Archerton.
1103
01:09:38,625 --> 01:09:40,036
If we'd let him have his way,
1104
01:09:40,167 --> 01:09:41,999
England would be bankrupt
within a week.
1105
01:09:42,125 --> 01:09:44,617
- Did you know there are
over2 million unemployed
1106
01:09:44,750 --> 01:09:46,161
in this country'?
1107
01:09:46,292 --> 01:09:49,660
- One can't make an omelet
without breaking eggs, Jane.
1108
01:09:49,792 --> 01:09:52,534
- I think we do pretty well,
all things considered.
1109
01:09:52,708 --> 01:09:55,040
Industrial production
was up 3% last year.
1110
01:09:55,167 --> 01:09:58,910
- Take no notice
of what Jane says.
1111
01:09:59,042 --> 01:10:01,033
You know what girls are.
1112
01:10:01,167 --> 01:10:04,080
They go to these parties
in studios,
1113
01:10:04,208 --> 01:10:06,700
and then they come home
and talk a lot of nonsense.
1114
01:10:06,833 --> 01:10:08,289
- Mother.
1115
01:10:08,417 --> 01:10:11,409
- I'm afraid I'm one of the last
of the old guard,
1116
01:10:11,542 --> 01:10:12,782
Monsieur Poirot.
1117
01:10:12,917 --> 01:10:17,115
-And if the old guard
should be removed,
1118
01:10:17,250 --> 01:10:18,456
what would happen?
1119
01:10:18,583 --> 01:10:20,620
- Removed?
1120
01:10:20,750 --> 01:10:22,286
I'll tell you.
1121
01:10:22,417 --> 01:10:23,498
A lot of damn fools
1122
01:10:23,625 --> 01:10:25,662
would try a lot
of very costly experiments.
1123
01:10:25,792 --> 01:10:27,829
It would be the end
of stability,
1124
01:10:27,958 --> 01:10:29,665
of common sense,
and of solvency.
1125
01:10:30,375 --> 01:10:32,116
- Ah.
1126
01:10:42,708 --> 01:10:44,540
Of course, we've always taken
great pride
1127
01:10:44,667 --> 01:10:46,408
in our herbaceous borders here.
1128
01:10:46,583 --> 01:10:47,823
Theyre a lot of work, mind,
1129
01:10:47,958 --> 01:10:49,790
but well worth the effort,
I've always thought.
1130
01:10:49,917 --> 01:10:51,908
- Ah, now, these flowers here,
they are beautiful.
1131
01:10:52,042 --> 01:10:54,329
- Yes, theyre particularly good
this year.
1132
01:10:54,458 --> 01:10:55,493
And look at these here.
1133
01:10:55,667 --> 01:10:56,828
[gunshot]
1134
01:10:56,958 --> 01:10:58,949
Good god!
1135
01:10:59,083 --> 01:11:00,039
[dramatic music]
1136
01:11:00,167 --> 01:11:01,077
- Drop that gun!
1137
01:11:01,208 --> 01:11:02,198
- It wasn't me, I tell you.
1138
01:11:02,333 --> 01:11:04,415
- Oh, no? Just shooting
at the birds, lsuppose.
1139
01:11:04,542 --> 01:11:06,328
Oh, Mr. Blunt!
1140
01:11:06,458 --> 01:11:08,620
I caught him right at it.
1141
01:11:08,750 --> 01:11:10,991
- I was just weeding the beds.
1142
01:11:11,125 --> 01:11:13,036
I heard a shot,
the gun fell right at my feet,
1143
01:11:13,167 --> 01:11:15,499
I picked it up, and this
stupid cow jumped on me.
1144
01:11:15,625 --> 01:11:17,241
- Now, then, Dunning, Dunbury—
1145
01:11:17,375 --> 01:11:18,331
what is your name?
1146
01:11:18,458 --> 01:11:20,415
- His name is Frank Carter.
1147
01:11:20,542 --> 01:11:22,078
- You.
1148
01:11:22,208 --> 01:11:23,664
You've had it in for me
all along.
1149
01:11:23,792 --> 01:11:25,533
I never fired that shot!
1150
01:11:25,667 --> 01:11:27,578
- In that case, who did'?
1151
01:11:27,708 --> 01:11:30,905
As you can see,
there is no one else here
1152
01:11:31,042 --> 01:11:33,579
but ourselves.
1153
01:12:00,292 --> 01:12:05,037
You really must not agitate
yourself, Mademoiselle Neville.
1154
01:12:05,167 --> 01:12:06,783
- First they tried to pretend
1155
01:12:06,917 --> 01:12:09,784
that Frank attempted
to murder Mr. Blunt,
1156
01:12:09,917 --> 01:12:14,332
and nowtheyve accused him
of murdering poor Mr. Morley.
1157
01:12:14,458 --> 01:12:15,619
- Sugar?
1158
01:12:15,750 --> 01:12:18,082
- No, thank you.
1159
01:12:18,208 --> 01:12:21,326
- I was down there, you know,
at Exsham,
1160
01:12:21,458 --> 01:12:23,369
when the shot was fired
at Monsieur Blunt.
1161
01:12:23,500 --> 01:12:25,992
- It's these Blackshirls.
1162
01:12:26,125 --> 01:12:28,457
They march around
waving their banners.
1163
01:12:28,583 --> 01:12:30,415
They have
this ridiculous salute.
1164
01:12:30,542 --> 01:12:34,115
And they work up these poor men
like Frank until they think
1165
01:12:34,250 --> 01:12:36,833
theyre doing something
wonderful and patriotic.
1166
01:12:36,958 --> 01:12:39,074
-And that is the defense
of Monsieur Carter?
1167
01:12:39,250 --> 01:12:40,991
- No! I haven't seen him,
of course.
1168
01:12:41,125 --> 01:12:42,035
They wou|dn't let me.
1169
01:12:42,167 --> 01:12:44,454
- Buh-bufr-bufr-buh-bufr-buh.
1170
01:12:54,833 --> 01:12:57,666
- He has a solicitor
working for him,
1171
01:12:57,792 --> 01:13:00,124
and he told me
what Frank had said.
1172
01:13:00,250 --> 01:13:04,574
He met a man in a public house
1173
01:13:04,708 --> 01:13:07,416
who said
he was in the secret service,
1174
01:13:07,542 --> 01:13:12,332
and he offered Frank
this wonderful job.
1175
01:13:12,458 --> 01:13:15,951
He was to take up the post
ofgardener
1176
01:13:16,083 --> 01:13:19,781
and listen to all the other
gardeners' conversations
1177
01:13:19,917 --> 01:13:24,036
and sound them out
as to their Red tendencies.
1178
01:13:24,167 --> 01:13:26,534
He had to pretend to be
a bit of a Red himself.
1179
01:13:26,667 --> 01:13:30,456
-And this solicitor,
he is o1 the opinion
1180
01:13:30,583 --> 01:13:31,823
that his client would do better
1181
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:34,037
to think of a story
that is more plausible?
1182
01:13:34,167 --> 01:13:37,205
- Lawyers.
1183
01:13:37,333 --> 01:13:40,621
You wouldn't believe
how difficult they are.
1184
01:13:43,875 --> 01:13:45,866
- Mademoiselle Neville.
1185
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:49,789
What did you think
of the housemaid, Agnes?
1186
01:13:49,917 --> 01:13:53,285
- I didn't think at all
about her.
1187
01:13:53,417 --> 01:13:56,205
Mr. Morleys sister
kept a strict eye on the maids.
1188
01:13:56,375 --> 01:13:57,661
- Ah.
1189
01:13:57,792 --> 01:13:59,908
- Why are you asking?
1190
01:14:00,042 --> 01:14:03,114
- She wrote to me a letter,
and...
1191
01:14:03,250 --> 01:14:06,823
As yet, I do not know why.
1192
01:14:23,625 --> 01:14:25,957
Thank you.
1193
01:14:48,333 --> 01:14:49,289
- Your tea, madam.
1194
01:14:49,417 --> 01:14:51,704
- Thank you.
1195
01:14:51,833 --> 01:14:54,700
I hope you didn't mind me
writing you that letter, sir,
1196
01:14:54,833 --> 01:14:57,791
only I didn't want for you
to come lo the house.
1197
01:14:57,917 --> 01:15:01,535
I mean, if I was to say anything
in front of Miss Morley,
1198
01:15:01,667 --> 01:15:04,375
she might say as how I ought
to have said something before.
1199
01:15:04,500 --> 01:15:07,697
Me and the cook,
we'd read in the papers
1200
01:15:07,833 --> 01:15:09,995
how the master had made
a mistake with that drug
1201
01:15:10,125 --> 01:15:11,490
and had shot himself.
1202
01:15:11,625 --> 01:15:13,912
So it did seem quite clear,
didn't it, sin'?
1203
01:15:15,167 --> 01:15:17,078
- When did you begin
to feel differently, Agnes?
1204
01:15:17,208 --> 01:15:21,076
- Seeing in the paper, sir,
about that Frank Carter
1205
01:15:21,208 --> 01:15:24,041
shooting at that gentleman.
1206
01:15:24,167 --> 01:15:26,625
I mean, up till then,
1207
01:15:26,792 --> 01:15:30,035
neither of us thought he'd done
anything to Mr. Morley.
1208
01:15:30,167 --> 01:15:33,831
We just thought
il was a bit queer.
1209
01:15:33,958 --> 01:15:35,949
- What was queer, Agnes?
1210
01:15:37,042 --> 01:15:39,033
- Il was that morning, sir.
1211
01:15:39,167 --> 01:15:40,953
The morning
Mr. Morley shot himself.
1212
01:15:41,083 --> 01:15:44,997
Iwas wondering if I dared
run down and get the post,
1213
01:15:45,125 --> 01:15:46,581
so I went out on the landing,
1214
01:15:46,708 --> 01:15:49,575
and I looked down
over the stairs.
1215
01:15:51,292 --> 01:15:53,158
And it was then that I saw him,
1216
01:15:53,292 --> 01:15:56,284
Frank Carter,
down on the stairs below.
1217
01:15:56,417 --> 01:16:00,456
He was just standing there,
like, waiting.
1218
01:16:00,583 --> 01:16:02,324
Then he seemed
to make up his mind,
1219
01:16:02,458 --> 01:16:04,699
and he sort of went
very quickly down the stairs
1220
01:16:04,833 --> 01:16:07,575
towards the masters surgery.
1221
01:16:07,708 --> 01:16:12,157
And I thought to myself,
"The master won't like that."
1222
01:16:12,292 --> 01:16:14,203
. Agnes!
1223
01:16:14,333 --> 01:16:16,324
- But just then, Cook called me,
1224
01:16:16,500 --> 01:16:18,286
and I went back
into the kitchen.
1225
01:16:18,458 --> 01:16:20,699
And afterwards, I heard
the master had shot himself,
1226
01:16:20,833 --> 01:16:24,030
and it was so awful, itjust
drove everything out of my head.
1227
01:16:24,167 --> 01:16:27,125
- Tell me, Agnes.
1228
01:16:27,250 --> 01:16:29,287
Did you actually see
Frank Carter
1229
01:16:29,417 --> 01:16:31,909
enter the room
of Monsieur Morley?
1230
01:16:32,042 --> 01:16:34,249
- He must have done, sir.
1231
01:16:34,375 --> 01:16:36,241
-At what time was this?
1232
01:16:36,375 --> 01:16:39,447
- It must have been
about half past 12:00, sir.
1233
01:16:57,542 --> 01:16:59,453
- I want to see Frank Carter.
1234
01:16:59,583 --> 01:17:01,699
- What's the big idea?
1235
01:17:01,833 --> 01:17:04,074
- You are unwilling'?
1236
01:17:05,792 --> 01:17:08,033
- What do you want
to see Carter for?
1237
01:17:08,208 --> 01:17:10,040
Ask him
if he really murdered Morley'?
1238
01:17:10,167 --> 01:17:11,498
- Yes.
1239
01:17:11,625 --> 01:17:13,707
- I suppose you think
he'll tell you if he did.
1240
01:17:13,833 --> 01:17:15,369
- He might tell me, yes.
1241
01:17:16,083 --> 01:17:18,120
- That can only mean that you've
got hold of something
1242
01:17:18,250 --> 01:17:19,786
that proves
more or less conclusively
1243
01:17:19,917 --> 01:17:20,998
that he did n't.
1244
01:17:21,125 --> 01:17:23,537
You ought to play fair
with us, Poirot
1245
01:17:23,667 --> 01:17:27,786
- I am playing fair with you,
Chief Inspector.
1246
01:17:27,917 --> 01:17:29,453
Believe me.
1247
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:50,161
- It's a damned lie!
1248
01:17:50,292 --> 01:17:51,908
You paid her to say that.
1249
01:17:52,042 --> 01:17:54,955
- Anger and abuse will not
help you, Monsieur Carter.
1250
01:17:55,083 --> 01:17:57,324
Agnes is going to tell
her story,
1251
01:17:57,458 --> 01:17:59,745
and it is going to be believed.
1252
01:17:59,875 --> 01:18:02,913
You were on the stairs,
Agnes did see you,
1253
01:18:03,083 --> 01:18:05,666
and you did go into the room
of Monsieur Morley.
1254
01:18:05,792 --> 01:18:07,908
What happened then'?
1255
01:18:08,042 --> 01:18:10,283
- It's a lie!
1256
01:18:15,958 --> 01:18:18,575
- No.
1257
01:18:18,708 --> 01:18:21,951
Il is not a lie.
1258
01:18:24,208 --> 01:18:26,825
If you did not kill
Monsieur Morley,
1259
01:18:26,958 --> 01:18:30,622
your only hope is to tell me
the exact truth
1260
01:18:30,750 --> 01:18:33,583
of what happened that morning.
1261
01:18:37,167 --> 01:18:41,536
- God curse you
if you let me down now.
1262
01:18:48,708 --> 01:18:51,040
[chair scrapes]
1263
01:19:00,333 --> 01:19:02,119
I did go in.
1264
01:19:04,292 --> 01:19:06,704
I went up the stairs and waited
above Marley's landing
1265
01:19:06,833 --> 01:19:10,280
till I could be sure
ofgetting him alone.
1266
01:19:10,417 --> 01:19:13,614
Then a bearded gent came out
and wenl down the stairs.
1267
01:19:13,750 --> 01:19:18,699
I wasjust making up my mind
to g0
1268
01:19:18,833 --> 01:19:22,076
when another gent came out
and wenl down the stairs loo.
1269
01:19:23,917 --> 01:19:26,875
I knew I had to be quick.
1270
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:29,583
Iwent along and nicked
into his room without knocking.
1271
01:19:29,708 --> 01:19:32,291
Iwas all set
to have it out with him.
1272
01:19:32,458 --> 01:19:34,574
But he was lying there dead,
1273
01:19:34,708 --> 01:19:36,244
and I could see the bullet hole
in his head
1274
01:19:36,417 --> 01:19:38,875
where a black crust
of blood ran.
1275
01:19:45,667 --> 01:19:48,159
He was cold.
1276
01:19:50,917 --> 01:19:53,500
I knew I was in ajam then.
1277
01:19:53,625 --> 01:19:56,743
They were going to say
I'd done iL
1278
01:20:02,250 --> 01:20:03,285
I hadn't touched anything
1279
01:20:03,417 --> 01:20:06,000
except his hand
and the doorknob.
1280
01:20:06,125 --> 01:20:07,456
I wiped that
with my handkerchief,
1281
01:20:07,583 --> 01:20:10,075
both sides,
as I went out.
1282
01:20:10,208 --> 01:20:12,370
There was nobody in the hall,
and I let myselfout
1283
01:20:12,500 --> 01:20:15,333
and licked it
as fast as I could.
1284
01:20:17,792 --> 01:20:19,624
Thafs the truth.
He was dead already.
1285
01:20:19,750 --> 01:20:21,957
You've got to believe me.
1286
01:20:28,875 --> 01:20:32,368
- By telling me the truth,
1287
01:20:32,500 --> 01:20:36,323
you have just saved yourself
from being hanged.
1288
01:20:38,042 --> 01:20:39,498
- I don't see it.
1289
01:20:39,625 --> 01:20:40,581
Theyre going to say-
1290
01:20:40,708 --> 01:20:41,914
- Monsieur Carter.
1291
01:20:42,042 --> 01:20:45,034
Your story has confirmed
what I knew to be the truth.
1292
01:20:45,167 --> 01:20:49,035
You can leave it now to me.
1293
01:21:15,500 --> 01:21:16,911
[telephone rings]
1294
01:21:17,042 --> 01:21:18,749
- JaPP-
1295
01:21:18,875 --> 01:21:21,742
Ah, Poirot.
1296
01:21:21,875 --> 01:21:23,411
Yes?
1297
01:21:25,208 --> 01:21:27,119
Yes?
1298
01:21:28,542 --> 01:21:30,909
What'?
1299
01:21:31,042 --> 01:21:32,624
No, Poirot, l—
1300
01:21:34,708 --> 01:21:37,996
Well, I have to get clearance
on this, you know.
1301
01:21:39,167 --> 01:21:42,239
Go on.
1302
01:21:42,417 --> 01:21:45,034
Yeah.
1303
01:21:45,167 --> 01:21:46,953
All right,
I'll do what I can.
1304
01:21:47,083 --> 01:21:50,530
- Thank you, Chief Inspector.
1305
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:54,662
Girls: J' One, two J'
1306
01:21:54,792 --> 01:21:58,865
J' Buckle my shoe J'
1307
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:01,082
[girls laughing]
1308
01:22:15,125 --> 01:22:16,661
- Mr. Hercule Poirot, sir.
1309
01:22:18,375 --> 01:22:20,116
- Thank you.
1310
01:22:20,250 --> 01:22:22,332
- This is about
Miss Sainsbury Seale, is it'?
1311
01:22:22,458 --> 01:22:23,573
Have you found her?
1312
01:22:23,708 --> 01:22:25,574
- I hope you do not object,
Monsieur Blunt,
1313
01:22:25,708 --> 01:22:28,666
but I have invited a few
other people tojoin us.
1314
01:22:36,042 --> 01:22:39,080
- I'm not walking through
the streets in handcuffs.
1315
01:22:39,250 --> 01:22:41,116
- You'll walk
through lhe streets
1316
01:22:41,292 --> 01:22:43,829
in anything I tell you, my lad.
1317
01:22:48,500 --> 01:22:52,073
- I hope this is a matter
of importance, Alistair.
1318
01:22:52,208 --> 01:22:55,906
That Belgian detective sent
a most insolent message to us.
1319
01:22:56,042 --> 01:22:58,329
- Mother.
1320
01:23:12,458 --> 01:23:14,244
[knocking at door]
1321
01:23:14,375 --> 01:23:17,572
- Miss Neville to see you, sir.
1322
01:23:17,750 --> 01:23:19,832
- Mademoiselle Neville.
1323
01:23:19,958 --> 01:23:22,370
-Are there many more,
Monsieur Poirot'?
1324
01:23:22,500 --> 01:23:25,743
If so, we may be more
comfortable in the boardroom.
1325
01:23:25,917 --> 01:23:28,284
Is the boardroom free,
Miss Monlressor?
1326
01:23:28,417 --> 01:23:30,124
- Yes, Mr. Blunt.
1327
01:23:35,750 --> 01:23:37,787
- Franld
1328
01:23:41,083 --> 01:23:42,494
-All right, all right.
1329
01:23:42,625 --> 01:23:44,536
You're still in His Majestys
custody, you know,
1330
01:23:44,667 --> 01:23:46,908
Show a bit of respect.
Come on.
1331
01:23:50,750 --> 01:23:53,868
- Mesdames et messieurs
1332
01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:56,583
good afternoon.
1333
01:23:56,708 --> 01:23:59,200
Since the beginning
of this case,
1334
01:23:59,375 --> 01:24:00,786
three people have died:
1335
01:24:00,917 --> 01:24:04,160
pauvre Monsieur Morley,
pauvre Monsieur Amberiotis,
1336
01:24:04,292 --> 01:24:07,614
and pauvre
Mademoiselle Sainsbury Seale.
1337
01:24:07,750 --> 01:24:09,286
- I thought she was
still missing.
1338
01:24:09,417 --> 01:24:11,829
- No, no, no, no, mademoiselle.
1339
01:24:11,958 --> 01:24:14,450
In fact, Mademoiselle
Sainsbury Seale was dead
1340
01:24:14,625 --> 01:24:18,118
even before the investigations
of ihis case began.
1341
01:24:18,250 --> 01:24:23,120
The porter at Lichfield Court
lold us
1342
01:24:23,250 --> 01:24:24,911
that Mademoiselle
Sainsbury Seale
1343
01:24:25,042 --> 01:24:27,875
had been to visit
Madame Chapman.
1344
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:31,447
He saw her go to the apartment
and be let in.
1345
01:24:31,583 --> 01:24:34,496
She never came out again, no'?
1346
01:24:34,625 --> 01:24:37,413
Mademoiselle Sainsbury Seale
was never, ever seen again
1347
01:24:37,542 --> 01:24:40,284
until the police, they broke in
lo the boxroom
1348
01:24:40,417 --> 01:24:41,703
of Madame Chapman.
1349
01:24:41,833 --> 01:24:43,870
- You mean it was
Mabelle Sainsbury Sea|e's body
1350
01:24:44,042 --> 01:24:45,578
in that flat after all'?
1351
01:24:45,708 --> 01:24:48,450
- Indeed it was,
my dear Mademoiselle Neville.
1352
01:24:48,583 --> 01:24:51,905
You see, it was a very clever
double bluff.
1353
01:24:52,667 --> 01:24:55,204
The disfigured face was meant
to raise the question
1354
01:24:55,333 --> 01:24:58,451
of the identity of the woman.
1355
01:24:58,583 --> 01:25:03,453
But for me, the case,
it began with a shoe.
1356
01:25:05,875 --> 01:25:08,947
As I left the dentist's
after my séance,
1357
01:25:09,083 --> 01:25:12,747
a taxi stopped, a door opened,
1358
01:25:12,875 --> 01:25:15,867
and a foot of a woman
prepared to descend.
1359
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:18,412
Itwas a fool
that was well shaped,
1360
01:25:18,583 --> 01:25:22,952
with a good ankle
and an expensive stocking.
1361
01:25:23,083 --> 01:25:26,075
The shoe was new, shining
patent leather
1362
01:25:26,208 --> 01:25:29,371
with a large, ornate buckle.
1363
01:25:29,500 --> 01:25:31,832
And when the rest of the lady
came into sight,
1364
01:25:31,958 --> 01:25:36,327
to be frank,
il was quite a disappointment.
1365
01:25:36,458 --> 01:25:40,201
As Mademoiselle Sainsbury Seale
descended from the taxi,
1366
01:25:40,333 --> 01:25:44,076
she caught her shoe buckle,
and it was wrenched off.
1367
01:25:46,750 --> 01:25:48,536
I picked it up
and returned ilto her.
1368
01:25:48,667 --> 01:25:49,998
Not at all, madame.
1369
01:25:50,125 --> 01:25:52,867
- Ooh.
- Oh, dear.
1370
01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:54,411
You are welcome, madame.
1371
01:25:54,542 --> 01:25:56,453
- Thank you so much.
1372
01:25:58,958 --> 01:26:00,494
- That was all.
1373
01:26:00,625 --> 01:26:02,992
The incident, it was closed.
1374
01:26:03,125 --> 01:26:04,741
[knocking at door]
1375
01:26:06,375 --> 01:26:08,912
- Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Blunt,
to interrupt.
1376
01:26:09,042 --> 01:26:10,407
L've finished the post.
1377
01:26:10,542 --> 01:26:11,703
Is it all right if I leave now'?
1378
01:26:11,833 --> 01:26:12,914
- Oh, no, no, no, no.
1379
01:26:13,042 --> 01:26:14,953
Please, Mademoiselle Monlressor.
1380
01:26:15,083 --> 01:26:16,494
Please come and join the party.
1381
01:26:16,625 --> 01:26:18,286
- Monsieur Poirot is expounding
1382
01:26:18,458 --> 01:26:20,369
some extremely entertaining
theories.
1383
01:26:20,542 --> 01:26:21,998
- Please.
1384
01:26:36,083 --> 01:26:37,665
- Go on, Poirot.
1385
01:26:37,833 --> 01:26:39,870
- Thank you.
1386
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:44,665
When Chief Inspector Japp
summoned rne lo Lichfield Court
1387
01:26:44,833 --> 01:26:47,495
because a body
had been discovered,
1388
01:26:47,625 --> 01:26:52,540
the first thing that I noticed
was a shabby buckled shoe.
1389
01:26:53,542 --> 01:26:55,579
- Well?
1390
01:26:55,708 --> 01:26:57,699
- Ah, you have failed
to appreciate the point,
1391
01:26:57,833 --> 01:26:59,574
Monsieur Blunt.
1392
01:26:59,708 --> 01:27:01,949
Il was a shabby shoe.
1393
01:27:02,667 --> 01:27:05,250
Il was a well-worn shoe.
1394
01:27:05,375 --> 01:27:08,413
BuL you see,
Mademoiselle Sainsbury Seale
1395
01:27:08,542 --> 01:27:11,910
visited the apartment
on the evening of the same day
1396
01:27:12,042 --> 01:27:13,532
of the murder
of Monsieur Morley.
1397
01:27:13,667 --> 01:27:15,328
So in the morning,
they were the new shoes.
1398
01:27:15,458 --> 01:27:17,165
In the evening.
they were the old shoes?
1399
01:27:17,333 --> 01:27:20,041
- I can'! see why
thafs important.
1400
01:27:20,167 --> 01:27:21,908
- Eh bien, mademoiselle.
1401
01:27:22,042 --> 01:27:25,706
Poirot does not like things
he cannot explain.
1402
01:27:27,708 --> 01:27:32,453
Madame Chapman took a size five
in shoes.
1403
01:27:32,625 --> 01:27:34,832
I knewthal
Mademoiselle Sainsbury Seale
1404
01:27:34,958 --> 01:27:36,244
wore a ten-inch stocking.
1405
01:27:36,375 --> 01:27:41,120
That is to say, she took
at leasi a size six in shoes.
1406
01:27:41,250 --> 01:27:44,993
So lwent back
to reexamine the body.
1407
01:27:45,125 --> 01:27:48,663
My idea was that the face
had been disfigured
1408
01:27:48,833 --> 01:27:50,665
to hide the fact
1409
01:27:50,833 --> 01:27:53,074
that it really was the body
of Madame Chapman
1410
01:27:53,208 --> 01:27:56,246
dressed in the clothes of
Mademoiselle Sainsbury Seale.
1411
01:27:56,375 --> 01:28:01,495
No, the shoe on the body
was size six,
1412
01:28:01,625 --> 01:28:03,366
so it looked as if it was
the body
1413
01:28:03,500 --> 01:28:06,618
of Mademoiselle
Sainsbury Seale after all.
1414
01:28:06,750 --> 01:28:10,948
But then why was the face
so disfigured?
1415
01:28:11,125 --> 01:28:14,618
By coincidence, the dentist
of Mademoiselle Sainsbury Seale
1416
01:28:14,750 --> 01:28:17,117
was also the dentist
of Madame Chapman:
1417
01:28:17,292 --> 01:28:18,578
Monsieur Morley.
1418
01:28:18,708 --> 01:28:20,995
But he was dead.
1419
01:28:21,125 --> 01:28:24,663
However, the records, they
would have still existed, huh?
1420
01:28:24,792 --> 01:28:26,658
So the successor
to Monsieur Morley
1421
01:28:26,792 --> 01:28:28,829
would have been able
to positively identify the body
1422
01:28:28,958 --> 01:28:30,744
as that of
Mademoiselle Sainsbury Seale.
1423
01:28:30,875 --> 01:28:34,493
-And could you identify
the body from these records?
1424
01:28:34,625 --> 01:28:35,786
- I could, sir.
1425
01:28:35,917 --> 01:28:37,749
Il was not Miss Sainsbury Seale.
1426
01:28:37,875 --> 01:28:41,448
It was Mrs. Sylvia Chapman,
another patient of Mr. Marley's.
1427
01:28:41,625 --> 01:28:44,788
- But if it was the body
of Madame Chapman,
1428
01:28:44,917 --> 01:28:46,453
why was she dressed
in the clothes
1429
01:28:46,583 --> 01:28:50,781
of Mademoiselle Sainsbury Seale'?
1430
01:28:50,917 --> 01:28:54,035
An interesting problem,
West-ca pas?
1431
01:28:54,167 --> 01:28:56,875
So I cast my mind back
1432
01:28:57,000 --> 01:28:59,867
to the Mademoiselle
Sainsbury Seale whom I had met,
1433
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:02,537
whom the Chief Inspector Japp
had mel.
1434
01:29:02,667 --> 01:29:04,157
- I used to be an actress.
1435
01:29:04,292 --> 01:29:05,874
Just small parts, you know.
1436
01:29:06,042 --> 01:29:09,740
Then I went on a world tour,
and-
1437
01:29:09,875 --> 01:29:11,331
- And although everything
about her
1438
01:29:11,458 --> 01:29:12,664
and everything she said
1439
01:29:12,792 --> 01:29:14,783
was in perfect accord
with her given character,
1440
01:29:14,917 --> 01:29:18,455
lam now convinced that
the Mademoiselle Sainsbury Seale
1441
01:29:18,583 --> 01:29:19,539
whom we have met
1442
01:29:19,667 --> 01:29:21,203
and the Mademoiselle
Sainsbury Seale
1443
01:29:21,333 --> 01:29:22,949
who accosted you,
Monsieur Blunt...
1444
01:29:23,083 --> 01:29:25,165
- You don't remember me.
Mabelle.
1445
01:29:25,333 --> 01:29:27,290
Gerda and I were on tour
together.
1446
01:29:27,417 --> 01:29:29,749
- They were not the same woman.
1447
01:29:29,875 --> 01:29:32,207
- You mean Miss Sainsbury Seale
was murdered
1448
01:29:32,375 --> 01:29:34,616
and someone else look over
her identity?
1449
01:29:34,750 --> 01:29:37,742
- Précisément.
1450
01:29:37,875 --> 01:29:42,790
Again, that is very dangerous,
n'est-ce pas?
1451
01:29:42,917 --> 01:29:47,491
But the rewards,
they were very high.
1452
01:29:47,667 --> 01:29:49,533
- Rewards?
1453
01:29:49,708 --> 01:29:51,073
What rewards?
1454
01:29:51,208 --> 01:29:55,122
- Injust one moment,
if you please, Madame Olivera.
1455
01:29:55,250 --> 01:29:58,163
- Perhaps Mr. Morley
was murdered
1456
01:29:58,292 --> 01:29:59,908
because he would have been able
to identify
1457
01:30:00,042 --> 01:30:02,454
Miss Sainsbury Seale's body
by her teeth.
1458
01:30:02,583 --> 01:30:05,291
- Perhaps.
1459
01:30:05,417 --> 01:30:07,078
However...
1460
01:30:08,667 --> 01:30:14,242
Now we must face the facts.
1461
01:30:15,583 --> 01:30:19,201
In the beginning, we believed
that the body of Monsieur Morley
1462
01:30:19,333 --> 01:30:21,665
was first discovered
by the pageboy, Alfred,
1463
01:30:21,792 --> 01:30:24,033
at about 1:30.
1464
01:30:24,208 --> 01:30:29,874
But the fact is, I now know that
the body was firsl discovered
1465
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:33,868
by Monsieur Frank Carter
about one hour earlier,
1466
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:37,197
at about 12:30.
1467
01:30:44,250 --> 01:30:45,615
Two things occurred
1468
01:30:45,750 --> 01:30:48,287
between the death
of Monsieur Morley
1469
01:30:48,417 --> 01:30:51,830
and the discovery of his body
by Monsieur Carter.
1470
01:30:51,958 --> 01:30:54,746
The lady whose shoe buckle
I retrieved
1471
01:30:54,875 --> 01:30:58,448
was shown into the surgery
of Monsieur Morley.
1472
01:31:05,833 --> 01:31:08,120
While her accomplice
dragged the body
1473
01:31:08,250 --> 01:31:09,991
into the office
of the secretary,
1474
01:31:10,125 --> 01:31:12,992
the second
Mademoiselle Sainsbury Seale
1475
01:31:13,125 --> 01:31:16,789
changes the labels on the files
of Monsieur Morley
1476
01:31:16,958 --> 01:31:19,871
to ensure that the body
would be identified
1477
01:31:20,042 --> 01:31:22,909
as that of Madame Chapman.
1478
01:31:24,833 --> 01:31:28,371
She then leaves.
1479
01:31:28,500 --> 01:31:30,537
Alfred shows in the next patient
1480
01:31:30,667 --> 01:31:33,625
to the surgery
of Monsieur Morley.
1481
01:31:41,958 --> 01:31:44,666
Now, Monsieur Amberiotis had
never before met the dentist,
1482
01:31:44,792 --> 01:31:46,157
Monsieur Morley.
1483
01:31:46,333 --> 01:31:49,826
- It's been troubling me
since the journey from India.
1484
01:31:49,958 --> 01:31:56,284
- So our murderer, he was able
to assume his identity.
1485
01:31:58,125 --> 01:32:01,823
This dentist tells
to MonsieurAmberiolis
1486
01:32:01,958 --> 01:32:05,076
that it would be best
to freeze the gurn.
1487
01:32:07,667 --> 01:32:09,624
He then administers an injection
1488
01:32:09,792 --> 01:32:13,831
which contains a dose
of novocaine and adrenaline
1489
01:32:13,958 --> 01:32:18,031
which is sufficient to kill him
six hours later.
1490
01:32:18,167 --> 01:32:20,408
[dramatic music]
1491
01:32:20,542 --> 01:32:22,374
- But why'?
1492
01:32:22,500 --> 01:32:24,582
Why would anyone want
lo kill this man?
1493
01:32:24,708 --> 01:32:26,949
- Because Monsieur Amberiolis
had learned something
1494
01:32:27,083 --> 01:32:29,575
from Mademoiselle
Sainsbury Seale.
1495
01:32:29,708 --> 01:32:31,665
He had learned a secret...
1496
01:32:32,542 --> 01:32:36,536
And a secret that could make him
a very rich man.
1497
01:32:47,542 --> 01:32:50,159
- I wish to speak
to Mr. Alistair Blunt.
1498
01:32:50,333 --> 01:32:55,407
-And Monsieur Amberiotis,
he was a blackmailer.
1499
01:32:57,250 --> 01:33:01,323
- Are you seriously suggesting
Amberiolis was blackmailing me?
1500
01:33:01,500 --> 01:33:04,037
- How could he blackmail
Alistair?
1501
01:33:04,167 --> 01:33:05,999
Alistair has no secrets.
1502
01:33:06,125 --> 01:33:09,322
- With the greatest respect,
Madame Olivera,
1503
01:33:09,458 --> 01:33:12,530
there I must disagree with you.
1504
01:33:13,000 --> 01:33:15,332
Monsieur Blunt has
a very big secret,
1505
01:33:15,458 --> 01:33:18,371
a secret that must be kept
at all costs.
1506
01:33:20,625 --> 01:33:23,037
And there is only one method
that is totally effective
1507
01:33:23,167 --> 01:33:26,740
in dealing with a blackmailer,
and that is to silence him...
1508
01:33:28,375 --> 01:33:30,787
Forever.
1509
01:33:30,958 --> 01:33:36,533
No, Monsieur Amberiotis,
he had lo go.
1510
01:33:36,667 --> 01:33:39,204
And Monsieur Blunt had seen
the name of Monsieur Amberiolis
1511
01:33:39,333 --> 01:33:42,325
in the appointment book
belonging to Monsieur Morley.
1512
01:33:42,458 --> 01:33:45,746
His blackmailer used
the same dentist.
1513
01:33:45,875 --> 01:33:48,287
- Thafll do for today, I think.
1514
01:33:48,417 --> 01:33:53,036
One more rinse, please.
1515
01:33:53,167 --> 01:33:56,535
-And so, Monsieur Blunt,
you devise a clever plan,
1516
01:33:56,667 --> 01:34:01,366
a very clever plan indeed.
1517
01:34:01,500 --> 01:34:04,208
You wail until your treatment
has been completed
1518
01:34:04,333 --> 01:34:06,950
by Monsieur Morley.
1519
01:34:07,083 --> 01:34:09,165
[water splashing]
1520
01:34:17,417 --> 01:34:20,830
Then you shoot him.
1521
01:34:28,292 --> 01:34:31,410
While the dental records
are being falsified,
1522
01:34:31,542 --> 01:34:35,786
you drag the body into
the office of the secretary.
1523
01:34:39,042 --> 01:34:41,784
[typewriter keys clallering]
1524
01:34:54,500 --> 01:34:57,492
As I have said,
MonsieurAmberiolis
1525
01:34:57,625 --> 01:34:59,866
had never before met
Monsieur Morley,
1526
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:04,039
so there was no reason
for him to suspect anything.
1527
01:35:09,250 --> 01:35:12,743
You administer to him
the fatal injection.
1528
01:35:17,250 --> 01:35:21,448
And when he has left, you drag
the body of Monsieur Morley
1529
01:35:21,625 --> 01:35:23,286
back into the surgery...
1530
01:35:24,792 --> 01:35:28,660
And arrange it
i0 look like suicide.
1531
01:35:44,208 --> 01:35:48,122
- I know, Monsieur Poirot,
you have a great reputation.
1532
01:35:48,708 --> 01:35:49,994
But I'm afraid in this case,
1533
01:35:50,125 --> 01:35:51,866
you are wrong
to a lunatic degree.
1534
01:35:53,542 --> 01:35:56,580
- Send him about his business,
Alistair.
1535
01:35:56,708 --> 01:36:01,032
Mr. Blunfs family stands
foursquare behind him.
1536
01:36:01,208 --> 01:36:05,452
- I am very pleased to hear it,
Madame Olivera.
1537
01:36:05,583 --> 01:36:07,540
But, you see,
1538
01:36:07,667 --> 01:36:10,705
when Monsieur Blunt
married your sister,
1539
01:36:10,833 --> 01:36:14,406
Mademoiselle Rebecca Arnholt,
1540
01:36:14,542 --> 01:36:16,499
he was not entirely honest
with her, no,
1541
01:36:16,625 --> 01:36:18,536
norwith her family,
1542
01:36:18,667 --> 01:36:21,625
because, as Monsieur Amberiolis
learned
1543
01:36:21,750 --> 01:36:24,788
from the real
Mademoiselle Sainsbury Seale,
1544
01:36:24,917 --> 01:36:29,707
Monsieur Blunt
was already married.
1545
01:36:29,833 --> 01:36:32,291
- Look, there's no need
for the res! of you
1546
01:36:32,417 --> 01:36:33,873
to listen to any more of this.
1547
01:36:34,000 --> 01:36:35,582
If you-
- No, no, no, Monsieur Blunt.
1548
01:36:35,750 --> 01:36:37,411
You were dazzled
by the Arnholt family,
1549
01:36:37,542 --> 01:36:40,739
by the vista not so much
of wealth but of power.
1550
01:36:40,875 --> 01:36:43,867
And so dazzled were you that you
deliberately committed a bigamy
1551
01:36:44,000 --> 01:36:46,492
and your real wife acquiesced
in the situation.
1552
01:36:46,625 --> 01:36:47,956
- Oh, what rot!
1553
01:36:48,083 --> 01:36:50,996
- What a fine portrait is this,
Monsieur Blunt!
1554
01:36:51,125 --> 01:36:54,038
Such a portrait would be
to any boardroom an ornament!
1555
01:36:54,167 --> 01:36:57,364
Monsieur Blunt standing beside
his beloved wife,
1556
01:36:57,500 --> 01:37:02,119
the former
Mademoiselle Rebecca Arnholt!
1557
01:37:02,250 --> 01:37:06,448
However, mesdames et messieurs
1558
01:37:06,583 --> 01:37:12,124
I have here in my pocket
1559
01:37:12,292 --> 01:37:14,954
a certificate of marriage
1560
01:37:15,083 --> 01:37:18,326
between Martin Alistair Blunt
1561
01:37:18,458 --> 01:37:19,823
and an actress by the name oi
1562
01:37:19,958 --> 01:37:23,155
Mademoiselle
Gerda Alexandra Grant
1563
01:37:23,292 --> 01:37:28,708
dated April the 25th, 1925.
1564
01:37:29,958 --> 01:37:35,328
And Mademoiselle Gerda Grant
is still very much alive.
1565
01:37:35,458 --> 01:37:38,291
Yes.
1566
01:37:38,417 --> 01:37:43,491
Indeed, she is
in this very room.
1567
01:37:59,083 --> 01:38:02,781
- And when I lived,
I was your other wife.
1568
01:38:02,917 --> 01:38:06,660
And when you loved,
you were my other husband.
1569
01:38:06,792 --> 01:38:07,953
[echoing]
Husband.
1570
01:38:08,125 --> 01:38:09,490
- Which is Beatrice?
1571
01:38:09,625 --> 01:38:12,617
- I answer to that name.
1572
01:38:12,750 --> 01:38:14,741
What is your will'?
1573
01:38:14,875 --> 01:38:15,831
- Do not you love me'?
1574
01:38:15,958 --> 01:38:19,246
- Why, no,
H0 ITIOTB "I371 TEHSOH.
1575
01:38:19,375 --> 01:38:21,742
Don't be so mamby-pamby,
Mabelle.
1576
01:38:21,875 --> 01:38:24,583
You think he's not good enough
for me,
1577
01:38:24,708 --> 01:38:27,450
Come on, Alistair.
lwant to dance!
1578
01:38:27,583 --> 01:38:30,746
[echoing]
Dance, dance, dance.
1579
01:38:35,333 --> 01:38:37,540
- Gerda got such a kick
out of it all.
1580
01:38:37,667 --> 01:38:39,783
Didn't you, old girl?
1581
01:38:54,500 --> 01:38:56,832
- It was your skills
as an actress,
1582
01:38:56,958 --> 01:38:59,040
Mademoiselle Monlressor,
1583
01:38:59,167 --> 01:39:02,080
that were the key
to the deception.
1584
01:39:02,208 --> 01:39:05,246
You connived at the bigamy
of your husband.
1585
01:39:05,375 --> 01:39:09,039
While he set about marrying
into the Arnholt family,
1586
01:39:09,167 --> 01:39:12,614
you assumed the identity
of Madame Sylvia Chapman.
1587
01:39:12,750 --> 01:39:15,663
- After all these years!
1588
01:39:15,792 --> 01:39:17,499
- Hello, Mabelle.
1589
01:39:17,625 --> 01:39:18,786
Come in.
1590
01:39:18,917 --> 01:39:20,954
E brought you some flowers.
1591
01:39:21,083 --> 01:39:22,824
- When the real
Mademoiselle Sainsbury Seale
1592
01:39:22,958 --> 01:39:24,198
met again your husband,
1593
01:39:24,333 --> 01:39:27,621
you murder your old friend
in cold blood.
1594
01:39:29,292 --> 01:39:32,865
- Go into the sitting room
straight through there.
1595
01:39:35,208 --> 01:39:38,200
- But your skills as an actress
are put to the test once again
1596
01:39:38,333 --> 01:39:41,576
as the second
Mademoiselle Sainsbury Seale.
1597
01:39:41,708 --> 01:39:43,995
" Ooh!
1598
01:39:46,750 --> 01:39:47,911
So kind.
1599
01:39:48,042 --> 01:39:49,999
- Not at all, madame.
1600
01:39:50,125 --> 01:39:51,206
" Ooh!
1601
01:39:51,333 --> 01:39:54,780
- Unfortunately for you,
it was Hercule Poirol
1602
01:39:54,917 --> 01:39:58,410
who retrieved your shoe buckle
that day.
1603
01:40:00,750 --> 01:40:02,240
But having safely deceived
1604
01:40:02,375 --> 01:40:04,207
the Chief Inspector Japp
and myself,
1605
01:40:04,333 --> 01:40:06,995
or so you thought,
1606
01:40:07,125 --> 01:40:09,457
you took the opportunity
to be as close as possible
1607
01:40:09,583 --> 01:40:10,698
to your husband.
1608
01:40:10,833 --> 01:40:14,997
You assumed the name
of Helen Montressor
1609
01:40:15,125 --> 01:40:19,494
and joined him as
his new, efficient secretary.
1610
01:40:21,458 --> 01:40:25,281
- We'll never make these people
understand, will we, my darling?
1611
01:40:25,417 --> 01:40:29,991
Such ordinary, unimaginalive
people.
1612
01:40:30,167 --> 01:40:33,080
Iwish I could make you
understand, Monsieur Poirot,
1613
01:40:33,250 --> 01:40:35,457
about my meeting with Rebecca
and my marriage.
1614
01:40:35,583 --> 01:40:38,996
Gerda understood,
didn't you, old girl?
1615
01:40:39,125 --> 01:40:41,082
We could have married again
after Rebecca's death,
1616
01:40:41,208 --> 01:40:46,658
but, do you know, we'd come
to rather enjoy all the secrecy.
1617
01:40:46,792 --> 01:40:48,499
She's an actress
through and through.
1618
01:40:48,625 --> 01:40:49,956
She would have found it
very dull
1619
01:40:50,083 --> 01:40:52,620
being just one character.
1620
01:40:52,750 --> 01:40:54,741
Well...
1621
01:40:54,875 --> 01:40:56,457
l've killed three people,
1622
01:40:56,625 --> 01:40:57,990
so presumably I ought to hang.
1623
01:40:58,125 --> 01:41:00,958
But haven't I done something
for England?
1624
01:41:01,083 --> 01:41:03,074
I have held it firm.
1625
01:41:03,208 --> 01:41:04,744
I have kept it solvent.
1626
01:41:04,875 --> 01:41:08,368
I have kept it free
from dictators.
1627
01:41:08,500 --> 01:41:10,286
I am necessary
1628
01:41:10,417 --> 01:41:13,205
to the continuing peace
and well-being of this nation.
1629
01:41:13,333 --> 01:41:15,324
- Is he saying
what I think he's saying?
1630
01:41:15,458 --> 01:41:17,074
- What about me'?
1631
01:41:17,208 --> 01:41:18,994
He was gonna let me hang.
1632
01:41:19,125 --> 01:41:21,867
- Précisément.
1633
01:41:22,042 --> 01:41:25,865
Monsieur Blunt,
with his usual efficiency,
1634
01:41:26,042 --> 01:41:29,114
had provided for himself
a second line of defense.
1635
01:41:29,250 --> 01:41:32,038
Ifthings went wrong,
you, Monsieur Carter,
1636
01:41:32,208 --> 01:41:37,248
you were to be
the scapegoat.
1637
01:41:37,375 --> 01:41:40,822
You see, by now,
Monsieur Blunt knows
1638
01:41:40,958 --> 01:41:43,495
of Monsieur Morleys opinion
regarding you,
1639
01:41:43,625 --> 01:41:46,083
and so he arranges
for you to be engaged
1640
01:41:46,208 --> 01:41:50,281
in a most mysterious fashion
as a gardener.
1641
01:41:50,458 --> 01:41:52,950
Ah, now, these flowers here,
they are beautiful.
1642
01:41:53,083 --> 01:41:54,949
And how easy
for Helen Monlressor
1643
01:41:55,083 --> 01:41:58,530
to fire a shot
vaguely in your direction,
1644
01:41:58,667 --> 01:42:01,204
drop the pistol at your feet,
1645
01:42:01,333 --> 01:42:02,664
where you are bound
to pick it up'?
1646
01:42:02,792 --> 01:42:05,409
' DMD that
Help! Qun!
1647
01:42:05,542 --> 01:42:06,782
Oh, Mr. Blunt!
1648
01:42:06,917 --> 01:42:08,282
- You are caught red-handed,
1649
01:42:08,417 --> 01:42:10,954
and of course nobody is going
lo believe your story,
1650
01:42:11,083 --> 01:42:12,869
your ridiculous story
1651
01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:15,992
about being employed
by the secret service.
1652
01:42:16,125 --> 01:42:17,957
No.
1653
01:42:18,083 --> 01:42:21,246
As far as Monsieur Blunt
is concerned,
1654
01:42:21,375 --> 01:42:24,493
you can end your short life
on the gallows.
1655
01:42:24,625 --> 01:42:27,947
- I don't waste pity
on people like him.
1656
01:42:29,458 --> 01:42:30,914
- Eh bien, Monsieur Blunt.
1657
01:42:31,083 --> 01:42:33,575
That is where you and I,
we do not see alike,
1658
01:42:33,708 --> 01:42:37,372
for to me, the lives
of those three people
1659
01:42:37,500 --> 01:42:40,492
are just as important
as your own life.
1660
01:42:46,458 --> 01:42:47,664
Monsieur Blunt,
1661
01:42:47,792 --> 01:42:51,410
you talk of the continued peace
of this nation, huh?
1662
01:42:51,542 --> 01:42:53,874
Oh, yes, that is very good.
1663
01:42:54,000 --> 01:42:57,789
But Poirot is not concerned
with nations,
1664
01:42:57,917 --> 01:43:01,990
Poirot is concerned
with private individuals,
1665
01:43:02,125 --> 01:43:07,040
who have the right not to have
taken from them their lives.
1666
01:43:09,667 --> 01:43:14,457
- Martin Alistair Blunt
and Gerda Alexandra Blunt,
1667
01:43:14,625 --> 01:43:17,993
larrest you
on charges of murder.
1668
01:43:23,208 --> 01:43:26,200
- Please.
1669
01:43:26,333 --> 01:43:29,655
Girls: J' One, two J'
1670
01:43:29,792 --> 01:43:33,330
J' Buckle my shoe J'
1671
01:43:33,458 --> 01:43:36,246
[girls giggling]
1672
01:43:41,958 --> 01:43:46,327
-[lear1u||y]
Oh, my-my poor dear sister.
1673
01:43:50,833 --> 01:43:53,871
I don't know why I'm crying.
1674
01:43:54,000 --> 01:43:56,082
- Come on, Mother.
1675
01:43:56,250 --> 01:43:59,914
- I never liked him anyway.
1676
01:44:00,042 --> 01:44:03,034
- Why don't we go back home'?
1677
01:44:03,167 --> 01:44:06,159
To New York.
1678
01:44:14,583 --> 01:44:17,621
- That could have been me,
you know.
1679
01:44:17,750 --> 01:44:20,037
- I think I'm going to keep
a close eye on you in future,
1680
01:44:20,167 --> 01:44:21,578
Frank Carter.
1681
01:44:21,750 --> 01:44:24,287
You're not safe out on your own.
1682
01:44:24,417 --> 01:44:27,614
Secret service.
1683
01:44:37,958 --> 01:44:39,540
- Look at it, Poirot,
1684
01:44:39,667 --> 01:44:42,284
the trappings
of wealth and power.
1685
01:44:42,417 --> 01:44:43,828
And yet underneath it all...
1686
01:44:44,000 --> 01:44:45,286
- Yes, Chief Inspector?
1687
01:44:45,417 --> 01:44:47,158
- Well. I mean,
il just shows you, doesn't it'?
1688
01:44:47,292 --> 01:44:49,954
Theyre no better than we are
when it comes down to it.
1689
01:44:50,125 --> 01:44:51,331
It's the little chaps
1690
01:44:51,458 --> 01:44:53,745
that keep things
on an even keel,
1691
01:44:53,875 --> 01:44:55,161
chaps like you and me.
1692
01:44:55,292 --> 01:44:56,578
- Ah.
1693
01:44:56,708 --> 01:45:00,827
But there are no little chaps,
Chief Inspector,
1694
01:45:00,958 --> 01:45:04,531
Particularly not Poirot.
