jacko's a bad lot he always has been

i done the right thing rachel you've

always done exactly what you wanted with

these children

i think it's a bit late to start asking

for my advice it's all right leo

once again i will try to do the right

thing by your children

and i will subsidize you as you write

your substandard books which no one ever

wants to publish

and it will make all the difficult

decisions for our family

you're the biggest parasite of the lord

[Music]

leo

mother not now bobby we really need to

confirm what we're doing about the city

trust

sorted out yourself bobby sometimes i

feel i should never have bothered with

you and your brother

[Music]

[Music]

ah kirsten

have you uh seen mary your wife will be

down at the lodge mr darren

right maybe you should go to her

i think i'll just have a little drink

first

[Music]

[Applause]

oh god is she dead

[Music]

leo

hello i need the police don't know what

you're smiling for mr argyle

i have seven witnesses who heard you

threatened to kill your mother an hour

and a half before she died

so what i didn't do it

these same family members also testify

that you attacked her

because she wouldn't pay off your

gambling debt look

everyone between here and bristol knows

that the old girl kept a stash

in her desk now i'm not a detective

inspector who is i wouldn't

dare presume but the whole thing looks

like a burglary to me

mum was in the wrong place at the wrong

time

which the coroner says was about

eight o'clock was it where were you

at eight o'clock jacko hitchhiking

between redkey and dromouth who was

driving the car

i don't know he was about 35

dark hair drove a dark blue morris miner

talked a lot about eels

very boring what can i say he dropped me

outside the pub at 8 15.

you're a cocky little swine aren't you

from time to time

is this yours yep the southern bank in

dry mouth issued these two five pound

notes to your mother

yesterday morning their cereal numbers

are from the batch of 100 pounds that

your mother collects each month to top

of the float she has on the estate

yes she gave it to me after we argued

your family is sure she didn't give you

any money jacker what she did

so that's that isn't it look what you've

got to do now

mate it's your job you've got to find

the guy who gave me the lift but your

alibi is a lie isn't it i did not murder

my mother you've lived a life of lies

haven't you jacko

[Music]

dear miss marco it's a while since i

wrote

but as you know i regard the time i

spent in service with you

as the time from which my life began

you gave me the confidence to train for

a profession

and seek my place in the world i hope i

don't embarrass you miss marple when i

write

that you are the closest to family i

have

fate has dealt me a curious hand since i

left you

but i am at last to be married

having found a happiness in life which i

always thought would elude me

i would love it if it were possible for

you to share my day of happiness with me

dearest gwenda of course i remember you

and would love to come to your wedding

as i grow older nothing brings me more

pleasure than to see young people i am

fond of find happiness

of all the girls who have come to me

from the orphanage it was you who

underwent the greatest transformation

and i've often wondered what

opportunities you have made with your

life

as the wedding is on saturday could i

possibly travel down to devon early on

thursday morning to give me time to

recover from the trail cam oh leo

leo oh how wonderful

[Music]

um yes next we have uh we have the

the arctic fox that's halifax lagos

there she is cuddly little lass unless

that is you actually

try to cuddle her when she might

basically you know bite your

bite your hand off so i suppose she's

not it's not cuddly at all really

uh no the the thing that's interesting

actually really

interesting about halifax lagos is its

comparison to

the more common european fox so let's

uh have a look at her there we

ah no sorry that's uh i do apologize

that's actually this um this

phobischer she's a a colleague of mine

on the um on the haze

uh hey what's going to call us and there

we go there we go

uh vapes vulpes um

now as you can see these um

these two foxes have adapted to live in

very different climates and the former

one here

is uh believe me very furry

and has a good supply of body fat now

what uh

also helps her to survive in a very

frigid environment

is uh her short muzzle and uh verticals

i'm so i'm so sorry um i do apologize um

that's yes marjorie do hope you're not

with us tonight

you

here oh thank you thank you very much

you're

a very kind and thoughtful lady um

yes

i'm here to tell you that

there is no possible way that your son

jacko committed that murder sir

he's innocent and i can prove it

[Music]

yes i'm i'm a scientist um

at cambridge university uh but

for the last two years i i've been in

the arctic you've been on the hayes

bentley expedition

back a month yes yes um but

we left you see on um

on on on the 17th of october two years

ago but the day before

the 16th i was here i was here in red

key

saying goodbye to uh to nanny uh who's

uh

she's retired to a home in in the area

actually nanny's sister's been very ill

recently with uh psoriasis

and we don't need to hear about nanny's

sister no

no so you were in the

area the night my wife was murdered

which was at about eight o'clock in the

evening yes

yes well at that time i was driving

between redkey and drymus

in a dark room or a smile that's right

that's right and between

ten two and quarter past

i gave a ride to a hitchhiker no no

mosty or vogelmost most down with it

prefer to dwell in shallow waters

or hide uh the bottom layer of the ocean

in

in tiny holes have you got the time

my god you're the alibi

i'm i'm the yes the yeah what do you

call it yeah

uh who who they never found and they

never found me

because by the time they started looking

i i was you know halfway around the

world

looking at lemmings dr calvary's with

you now

i told him to wait until we came up with

him in the morning is he who he says he

is inspector i don't think he's a

scientist he doesn't seem a very general

i'm checking his story now and all his

dates seem to fit

looks like your brother was telling the

truth all along about his alibi when can

you get here inspector

the morning we won't

thinks he's doing a good thing rushing

to tell your family this but while he

knows

about eels and such like i don't think

he knows anything about people

how are you all taking the news i uh

i thought you'd be pleased to to know

that jaco argyle isn't a murderer

we are so let's

uh jump for joy you are an insensitive

man dr cocker

no what did he think he was doing when

you looked through the window didn't you

see a happy family i did i did and and i

thought that

um what i had to say would make you

happier

that our brother was executed for a

murder he didn't commit

why couldn't you just left us all alone

yes thank you

doctor come on steady

come on

[Music]

well

yeah what's the quote um nothing is um

nothing is ever uh i was useless about

the

literature nothing nothing is settled

nothing is ever settled until it is

settled right

kipling yes quite certainly the police

have requested that you leave now

oh in this weather they didn't mention

the weather

they just asked you to go all right

it's true though do you think what

kipling said i think it's true

oh miss marple i think if if you don't

mind i do think that we ought to leave

the family to themselves for a while

of course would you care to have supper

in my room oh i'm sure

miss mupple would prefer her own company

she's

had a very long journey no it would be

nice to have company

thank you

when did rachel argyle realize she

couldn't have children

just after she was married yeah she was

an heiress

her father was rich as a king

she used that money to buy her family

and bought vipus point

which was the original name of this

estate

she changed the name to sunny point

and filled it like a fairground with

everything a child might desire

and over the years she brought the

children from deprived backgrounds

mary is the oldest isn't she she was

from new york

slum tenement parents in jail she's

always been

a particular girl everything proper and

in its place

and her husband the pilot

he's a bag of badness i tell you rachel

never liked him

and she was right why is he in a

wheelchair

polio 18 months ago

[Music]

then after mary came the twins jack hold

bobby

bobby was jack who's twin oh yes

they came from an orphanage but at the

same time i came from denmark to take up

my appointment

and then esther was a catholic girl

shame

and uh mickey and tina during the war

mickey from the east end tina's mother

if you understand what i mean they both

live in redkey

the children were rachel's obsession the

well she put all her money and attention

down

and her love

you know miss marple rachel

but her tragedy was that i don't think

she was capable of love

at least not towards her children

shall i say what we're all thinking is

that a good idea

why we're not looking each other in the

eye just eat your dinner tina because if

jacko didn't kill the [ __ ]

who did don't you dare use language like

that against mother i used it behind her

back when she was alive mary i'll use it

when she's dead

apologize

that's what everyone's thinking daddy

tina i think that um

i think that we should maybe talk about

all this when the shock was worn off

don't you

why not let's all talk about the weather

shall we gwenda the price of tea not

very english

i'm sorry sir but tina was right if joko

didn't murder rachel then which one of

your children did

well it was a burglary surely

like jacko always said i think we should

leave any

speculation to the police don't you

police yes

the police and it won't just be jacko's

movements that night they'll be

investigating

it will be all of us

well i'm gonna say it was a burglary

well they'll accept that

last time we just told them it was jaco

and they accepted that straight away

i don't think we're dealing with

sherlock holmes here i will not have

this talk

yes sir sorry dad

sorry daddy sorry daddy if you'll excuse

us

did mrs argyle leave any of her fortune

to her children

oh i know what you're thinking you old

ladies you look so benign and yet your

brain goes tick tock tick tock

poring over the latest murders in the

newspapers looking for motives

well one has few pleasures left in life

rachel left all her fortune and trust

for her children administered by bobby

they are all wealthy and can dip into

the trust with his permission at any

time

but at that time rachel had stopped

being generous to jacko

he had wasted so much on illegal schemes

we didn't know half of what he got up to

we didn't know he was married jacob was

married

oh yes she turned a part of the blow on

the day of rachel's funeral

yes hello yes

i'm maureen hello maureen yeah

jacko's wife no

no jack was not married

my mum said what with him committing

murder and that that i should come up to

the big house and you'd see me right

what is it gurson jaco's got a wife nice

now that jacko's going to be found

guilty and all i

thought i'd come for you to see me right

mr again guys and wickedness

you're quite customer it's a bit early

to say if it's going to be found guilty

don't you think

well he did have the money sir

and she was right miss marple he was

found with some of the money on him

the exact same serial numbers jaco is

responsible

i'm certain always a wicked boy

[Music]

a ghost comes back to haunt me

once again rachel takes away any chance

of happiness

what do you mean you saw how suspicious

everyone was of each other tonight

yes but i mean if jacob wasn't

guilty then the police will soon

discover who is but two years old

they won't find anything they can use

and when the police reopened their

investigation

the whole world would be suspicious of

this family

excuse me bobby

have you seen grinder

no one thought jacko was innocent you

know

yeah unlike everyone else he actually

was my flesh and blood

and even i didn't think that

it was such a cut and dried case

and he was always such a terrible liar

i'm violent if you went against him

do you think

dr calgary is mistaken

[Music]

the day before my brother was

electrocuted

hess and i visited him in prison

it's time to say goodbyes

[Music]

no don't say goodbye

[Music]

um i made sure that wife of yours is

provided for

[Music]

i should have been more like you

shouldn't i bob

that's what they told me all my life

how could twins be so different

there's no uh no chance of a

appeal isn't it

[Music]

it's the money you had that handsy jack

maybe this is the best thing i've ever

done it's gone round and round in my

head for two years

and now i think i know what he meant

i think he knew who the real killer was

and he was protecting them

he was prepared to die for them

this is ridiculous we should have stayed

up at the house better here

why so you can murder me as well let's

get you out of these wetlands

you have ice in your heart mary

[Music]

you're capable of murder i've always

known that about you

don't be silly especially

the murder of her i loved my mother

when the police arrived tomorrow you

better get your story straight my girl

just remember exactly what you told them

the first time

[Music]

actually um leo and i are thinking of

postponing the wedding miss marple i'm

sorry

dear

two hours ago i was happy

i'm so happy that you'd arrived happy to

be part of a family

happy to have found him

and i won't have it taken away from me i

won't

is there anything i can do gwinda yes

leave

that's what you can do

i think i'm just need to be on my own

for a while

we can talk at breakfast

sorry it's you

yes uh crossing is seemed rather

difficult

in this weather and the truth is it's a

dangerous crossing

indeed did yet

tell me shouldn't oh shouldn't you be

inside and

in the warm do you want another truth dr

scientist

mother and jaco dying was the best thing

that happened to this family

they were the ones who brought

unhappiness here

i loved my brother but without him we'd

become a happy family

until you arrived we all know it wasn't

a burglary and if jacko didn't kill her

which one of us must be guilty

yes you in here

come on sweetheart let's get you inside

but it's not the guilty that mata isn't

dr scientist

it's the innocent the innocent who will

suffer now

if you can't get across you might as

well come in too

the first thing the police will do is

try to establish a motive

sorry where am i sleeping in the study

well the motive is easy

who gained most from mother's death who

now lives in her bedroom

gwenda exactly who's going to share a

bed with her husband

are you heading back to london dr

calgary

well uh i think yes yes i should but

i think also i should stay and then put

right this

this upset that i caused my blundering

in last night

that young girl hester said yesterday

that

it would be the innocent who would

suffer now and now that the case has

been reopened

how perceptive of her yes yes that's

what i thought very deceptive

what on earth did she mean 80 years ago

a man called charles bravo was poisoned

in his london home

there were three suspects his wife his

doctor and his best friend

scotland yard never found enough

evidence to bring any of them to trial

so all of them the

two who were innocent as well as the

guild here were branded murderers by

society and their lives ruined

they all died prematurely

from either suicide or drink goodness

you're right not to leave dr calgary

there are

innocent lives here which will be ruined

if the murder is not found

and if the police can't find the

evidence

someone else will have to i'll ask my

wife just before seven o'clock

and the night of the matter this has

been documented

and what did you and she talk about the

decision not to give jaco any more money

uh we didn't talk for long but uh it was

kodi and i will subsidize you as you

write your substandard

books which nobody wants to publish

you're the biggest parasite for love leo

the next time i saw her she was dead

so you were alone in your room for that

hour and a half

yes was the rest of your family in the

house at the time

not uh tina and mickey they have flat

server and red key

jacko's wife at that point we didn't

know jack was married inspector

[Music]

mr

ah thank you thank you

[Music]

hello nick well later i think i'll open

it now

go on mr mrs durant may i see you please

[Music]

it should have been an exotic moment but

it still is

what did they ask you anything about

tina

look at this

[Music]

well mr mrs durant

it appears from your statement of two

years ago that you were both

in the drawing room between the time of

the argument and the body being

discovered

yes it was our habit to spend the

evenings here rather than down at the

lodge

your wife will be down at the lodge mr

darren

maybe you should go to her and during

that time you didn't see or hear anyone

going to mrs argyle's study

no no

i knew jacko never killed her i mean he

was a hothead he was in fights

everyone knew that about him but

[Music]

takes a different kind of character to

pick up a weapon and murder someone

doesn't it hester

a coldness yes coldness

were you in the house when your mother

died yes

you spoke to jacob after the argument

didn't you i calmed him down

i'm a dead man let's go for a walk baby

were you here tina i was at work

in the library in redken mickey has cold

blood in him

esther no i love him i do tina but

he has the coldness mickey works in the

motor trade in redkey

at the time of the murder he was

collecting a car from a dealer in

bristol

he told the police this yes but he hated

her more than anyone miss marvel

well he could hardly speak to her

without cursing

you left sunny point before seven

o'clock that evening and you went

straight home yes i i took the post

and um posted it and then

yes home this one had your friendship

with mr angel begun before his wife's

death

no see a relationship with his wife was

good

she didn't know you harbored feelings

for her husband

well i didn't at that time i didn't

have feelings as you put it for leo

we've fallen in love since his wife's

death

in many ways i've helped him through it

but then you may do that kristin i'd let

it go for a couple of days mr argyle

best keep all this police business

within the family

there's grander cylinder oh yes she'll

still be in there

lying i imagine lying about what about

what friends

she and mrs argyle were about how you

and her only fell in love after your

wife died

well it's the truth no it is not sir

i've been thinking mr argyle i've been

thinking about motives

and rachel knew that girl was in love

with you rachel had confronted her with

it before she died said she was a coco

in the nest

what's that miss lindstrom

oh no doubt she will deny this inspector

she will try and shore up the lies she

has told you in there

but i heard bad words in this house

between her and rachel argyle

one week before she was murdered listen

to me you little [ __ ]

i see the way you look at him we all

know about women like you

you keep him and his work away from me

so you can hit us with love here

leave my husband alone or i will dismiss

you from this house

this is a sad woman like you know about

love

i have to tell this brenda can you deny

it

you want a motive inspector then i think

this woman heard jacko shout i will kill

you you are dead

and she knows that if she kills rachel

that night jacka will get the blame

and she will get the man and the house

she wants

can you deny this quentivorn the motive

the scheme the coldness

[Music]

clear leo here

thank god you have not yet married her

mr argyle

thank god she will not get away with it

you believe me don't you

it's that hoop over there now yes that's

right

come on don't you know how to play by

now

be quiet mary

you admiring my brother's ability to

keep things going calgary

yes i was rather it's always organizing

he's organized the whole of tomorrow's

wedding if it's to take place

he's paid for the lot yes he made his

money in the

city so i'm not mistaken yes

the only one mother could be proud of

money was important to mother

she bought me for a hundred pounds

doctor did you know

i was evacuated here during the war and

afterwards she bought me from my natural

mother

for a hundred pounds

from the day i came here all i wanted to

do was to go home

yes

inspector we haven't been introduced

but i'm jane markle an old friend of

gwenda vaughan's down for the wedding

and

i wish to vouch for her character yes of

course she's kind to cats and children

and like her mother

who i presume was your best friend she

would never have done anything like this

i have no idea

who her mother was i'm beginning to

understand what rachel argyll was like

as a mother and i

i think she not gwenda is the key to

solving this crime don't you

oh can we stay still for i'm too old to

trot

now with most crimes it's the character

of the killer which is most fascinating

but

in this case it's the character of the

victim which reveals more

don't you agree maybe go on

this is no crime of passion it's one of

immaturity of arrested development

most common to teenagers and the argyles

lived under the iron control of their

mother even into adulthood

no wonder jack who kept his wife a

secret to get married would be too much

like growing up

gwen de vaughn remains my main suspect

no

your main suspect is still jaco i'm sure

that's what you mean

inspector he was in possession of money

from that desk

hmm have you asked yourself how he got

it

inspector miss marvel um is there any

chance of lift at the swan hotel

yes of course doctor have you asked

yourself i have

his twin brother thinks jacko went to

his execution protecting someone

now he hardly knew gwen devorne why

would he die to protect us

[Music]

who is that

[Music]

[Music]

support yes called off the wedding oh

yes they're they're all uh talking about

it downstairs oh yes i bet they are but

they're all having a sweepstake on when

the police are going to come and arrest

me

the police won't arrest you without any

evidence no but they suspect me don't

they and i haven't got an alibi for that

evening miss bumble

even leo suspects me but the thing is no

you see i was thinking that um rachel's

rooms haven't been touched

since she died and i just thought that

you know maybe

maybe there's something in here that's

been

overlooked you know that might point to

the killer like a

diary correspondence yes but i can't

find anything

something like that's more likely to be

found in her studies isn't it

yes yes

will you help me

the most obvious person jacko would be

protecting would be his wife

what'd she like maureen

um hmm i only saw her once

um bobby sorted her out financially and

uh

after that no one in the family but i

heard from her again

about time she heard from us

[Music]

one he's always losing the key

[Music]

who was it bobby

yes of course he's just catching the

early morning train to london

it's been cleared out

what would rachel be doing with a

private detective

that's what you must find out tomorrow

with the swan hotel

there's someone there who will be

willing to help you

yes i was in mrs argyle's employee but

i'm afraid i'm not at liberty to discuss

the circumstances

confidentiality is my middle name you

see

well yes i understand that mr croaker

but you see it's possible

that you might be able to help us with

this i'm going to stop you there young

lady and terminate this interview forth

with

because discretion is my middle name i

thought you said it was confidentiality

good day wait wait listen mister mr um

um whatever your middle name is if you

don't

sit down and answer our questions before

the end of the day

you'll be having the same questions put

you by the police

police yes the police

i don't mind the police well then just

park yourself there

and yes thank you

the police yes now most people

hire a private detective mr croco

because they're going through a divorce

so did rachel argyle ask you to

investigate her husband

no i was employed to investigate another

member of her family

who her son-in-law philip durant

why well before his unfortunate illness

mr darren was what i call a leg over

merchant

right little man about town rachel

argyle suspected he had just married her

daughter for her money and she was right

that's why she kept a tight reign on her

daughter's inheritance

anyway she wanted evidence from me that

would force the marriage to end

i provided a large file containing the

names of women

the dates of his assignations in hotels

photographs you know before

and i delivered it to her a few days

before she died

[Music]

[Applause]

hester hers

[Music]

when we first married philip bought a

masonette in redkey

was he working no he'd come out of the

raf and was um

between ventures never very lucky anyway

mother took one look at our little place

and insisted that we came here to take

the launch

you didn't want to come philip was

something that was mine miss marple

not hers but it turned out he didn't

have as much money as he said he had

and was eager to come and escape the

mortgage couldn't you take money

out of your trust mother would never

have given permission

and now bobby has that power and he's

also reluctant

it's been nearly two years since that

awful night miss marvel

and yet we still haven't been able to

move on

must have been shocking for you to have

discovered your mother's body that way

well it was kirsten who actually

discovered her yeah

and then philip who phoned the police

fortunately i wasn't there at the time

it has to be philip durant he's the

killer rachel had confronted him with

the

um with the evidence thank you from

confidentiality croaker and then philip

overheard jacko

threatened to kill her when the house

was quiet took his chance to

to bang her on the head we should go

back sunny point now

make a citizen's arrest bang the fellow

up um

why are we going to see a phone miss

marple said we had to find maureen

who's more in jekyll's wife right yes of

course

[Music]

jacko did it mistborn no doubt he was

found with the evidence

the uh the money from the desk that's

right and he had a nasty side he

i was pleased to be rid of him if you

know what i mean yes

mum said he was just a charmer you know

women had a thing for him

especially older women he could play

them like a piano

how do you mean well he'd flatter them

sir get them to fall in love with him

and then he'd sting them for money he

needed for some scam or other

he worked for this car salesman and got

into trouble when a lot of money went

missing

the salesman's wife was so besotted with

him

that she ended up raiding her own

savings so that he could give the money

back to the husband

could he always get money out of his

mother no

no he had to be desperate to go to her

but he was desperate that night miss

born he was very

scared the bookie was really a gangster

and he was going to kill him

i think jacko owed much more money than

he was letting on

he was innocent and no one believed him

i believe gwenda is innocent too leo

do you now will you you

think that because you think you know

her character well i i thought i knew

jacko's character and

and i was wrong and it it's character

i've studied my whole life

how history is not um an inevitable

march of time but it is shaped by the

actions of

of particular characters at uh

particular times

uh how a king or or politicians a base

motive of greed say or jealousy or

ambition

although ugly at the time is brought

about about good things when seen in the

the context of of history

i mean you take um you take the medici

for example

a despicable family capable of great

cruelty

yet the reign in florence produced

economic prosperity and art that has

never been equal

good things can come out of bad deeds

exactly

and and that's that's what i

thought had happened when

jacko killed rachel

i was london bob any decisions on

releasing mary's capital yet

not now philip we were promised a

decision 18 months ago look

i don't need this every time i come back

from london it's not your money

i don't care if he's busy i want to see

inspector hewitt now please

i've got vital information concerning

the sunny point murder and i must tell

him before he hangs another innocent man

mrs price would you come this way please

well yes but it's cyril you want to talk

to inspector

cyril cyril's come here to make a

confession

haven't you cyril

yes get on

cyril price did you bludgeon mrs argyle

to death

no he's been scrumping again

and i clipped him around here i told him

what for inspector

but he was out scrumping by the crossing

to sunny point on the night of the

murder two years ago

i mean we would have come forward before

but we thought you found the kiss what

did you see

cyril i saw a dragon

a what they all call it that because of

the noise it makes but he

saw that motorbike tina argyle's bike

and he got back about 8 15 so it must

have been about eight when he saw it

so what do you think about that then she

hasn't told you she was there at the

time of the murder has she

i told my husband the inspector wouldn't

know this i said that to him didn't i

cyril

why do we always have to play a game oh

i can't just move around the house can

we

you go meg sure come on

you can be almighty

is there any way that philip and jacko

could have been in league

i can't see it but they both wanted rach

like

tina the um the inspector would like a

word listen will you come back to the

station with us please why

for questioning what do you mean she's

not going anywhere

if you don't come i'll be forced to

arrest you on suspicion of involvement

in your mother's death

what are you talking about it's a lie

she's done nothing wrong

nothing wrong it's all right dad

she was at work in her library at the

time of the murder what did she make

sure the police have her reasons what

reasons

and what do they know dad they didn't

tell me anything well why didn't you

mickey all of you

the police are going to do that job and

there's nothing we can do

all of us are under suspicion but we

must stick together and not let this

drive us apart

now i i know that none of you could have

committed this

this murder and i'm proud of all of you

and and we will get through this

i should say something here and it's

what we're all thinking

mr argyle i know you are thinking it

which is why they have arrested tina and

not arrested her

absolutely am i not right god no i i'm

not thinking that no

no i am right and you have a duty now

grenda vaughn to go and confess

this family will not stand by while

another child swings on the gallows for

your crime

i'll do it brenda

we will not have a murderer under this

roof i am not a murderer

and i'll be able to prove it

i know things about this family and i

swear before

what things what do you know

i know that rachel had given philip an

ultimatum to leave mary

once yes because of your philandering

she had a private detective under you

this is preposterous

you see you see this family's full of

secrets

but i know things that would incriminate

the killer i really do

i'm in rachel's rooms remember

i found things miss saigon you've always

maintained that you weren't work in red

key at the time your mother was murdered

why have you been lying to us

[Music]

that night

mother had arranged for me to take a

post as assistant librarian at st

andrews university in scotland

so you saw your mother that night

i drove to sunny point but didn't cross

[Music]

why were you really there tina

to see her about the job then why didn't

you

around accusations like that commander

people are accusing me leo

they're accusing me i didn't do it leo i

didn't yes look

look me in the face and tell me that you

think i did it

look at me brenda gwenda i think it's

it's best for everyone that i just have

my family here

was two days ago i'm still the same

woman

i'm sorry i'm sorry for the things i

said about her

gwenda she's been killed in the night

gwenta found something out

if she told you

i know it wasn't my fault but really i

blame myself

one can't help feeling it

take me back to the arctic that's where

i belong lemmings don't

go around murdering each other pull

yourself together dr calgary

there are some things i need you to do

how are you go away

you're never nice

i think we may have a problem

i think they might be on to us

[Music]

now that you've arrested the old man

can't you do it you just landed

come on

are these yours i don't know how this

got into my room

in that state but they're yours yes yes

mr argyle if you say you didn't put

these in your study

you're implying that a member of your

family is trying to frame you for murder

when did you last see gwenda vaughn

alive

uh in my study uh last night about 11

o'clock

and when did your relationship with her

begin

uh about uh four months after my wife

died

gwenda was very

kind she was

[Music]

loving in a way

[Music]

in a way that no one ever had been

[Music]

loving

have you read leo's book he was talking

to me about it

and this is what it's all about isn't it

did he

talk to you miss marple good things come

from bad deeds

kirsten no it has to be said he was a

shadow of a man with rachel

and when she died he became alive again

didn't he marry

yes and you'd never love jackal like we

did bob

and he'd already started his affair with

gwenda

i'm the eyes of this house i see what

i'm not supposed to see

this is lindsey this is lindsey

how's your car love can't go filling you

up with petrol

my car this is a joke

right right yes yes i understand it um

this is lindsay i wonder if

i could have a rather delicate word with

you

[Music]

jacko what a boy

it was kind of bloke who could get under

your skin you know

naughty dangerous you knew you shouldn't

but

ah it he's like a drug he can make you

feel 22 again

he ever had a girl like that professor

there was a young um young lady at a

church once but we

we never really spoke what was her name

i i believe um i believe

you gave jaco argyle some money no

i knew what he was up to he pinched a

wad off my husband and needed to pay him

back

and you knew about this and yet you you

went along with it i didn't want him to

go away

ever even though you knew you weren't

the only one

even though you knew he was gonna end

badly

i went up to the prison once where they

were holding him

he wouldn't see me yet i cried like a

child the day they hanged him

even now

[Music]

miss martin can we talk

i know who killed gwenda i know who

killed mother but i have no evidence

i don't think the police will believe me

will you believe me

what do you know miss marple who's the

weakest in this family

who they always tried to protect

especially from mother

[Music]

and who followed jacob the night of the

murder

[Music]

mother had been bullying hester for

years and has to adore jacko

would have killed for him i'm sure you

know what they say about timid people

when pushed to violence

and now she's killed gwenda because

gwenda said she discovered the truth

[Music]

mary why did you tell the police you

were with philip when your mother was

murdered and yet yesterday

you told me you left the big house much

earlier that evening

hester's a very attractive girl isn't

she married

would you want the world to know that

your husband was sleeping with your

sister

i liked the police miss marple because i

have a sense of shame

but it doesn't change the fact that

hester did this

and she's now trying to frame my father

for murder

good afternoon um may i have my key

please certainly

thank you um are there any messages for

me yes sir

[Music]

going to london bobby on a sunday don't

you think your father might need you

today you're not my keeper

according to my calculations mary's

share of the trust should be a quarter

of a million

now i know we have asked for 20 grand to

buy a house but i think we should have

all of it now and we should stop

being treated like children know the

conditions of the trust

philip you are entitled

[Music]

bobby

[Music]

this argyle

[Music]

why didn't we go back to the house

i know what i wanted to ask you dr

scientist you know about animals and

environments don't you

you take an animal out of its

environment and it suffers doesn't it

it dies inside zeus trying to invent it

but

mr archer they die inside

mr our guard can you help us even

animals need

love doctor scientists if we just

step away from the water

i'll be more than willing to give you a

seminar on the subject

back of the house probably muscle up a

slide show

money is the cause of this family's

misery

all of us were from poor backgrounds yes

if it's lovely if you just you step away

money has not made us happy never does

animals don't have money do they not a

penny

why is that why have human beings turned

unhappiness into coins that you can

actually touch

where's bobby

[Music]

questions

i don't think you're going to find a

suicide note inspector

that is what you're looking for isn't it

a confession why would i find one

because i don't think bobby really

intended to kill himself

at least not until he was halfway over

the crossing

what do you know miss marple

i think it's something the whole family

should

hear it seems

that despite their differences the twins

bobby and jacko

were more alike than anybody realized

it always struck me as odd that bobby

was as parsimonious with the trust as

rachel had been that since she died he

had barely parted with a penny

but i think bobby had been living under

great stress

so i asked dr calgary to get in touch

with his stock brokers

marshals yes yes well um

one of the uh partners of marshalls was

arrested this morning

uh for fraud and embezzlement and um

well it seems that

he and bobby had their fingers in

the honeypot so to speak bobby used

rachel's trust for financial scams on a

much larger scale than

jacko ever got involved in the

authorities had been closing in on his

corruption

for the last two years which means that

rachel as a trustee would

have had knowledge of bobby's criminal

activities shortly

before she died sort it out yourself

bobby

sometimes i feel i should never bother

with you and your brother

but bobby's always been as generous as

he could with us yes i mean he was

paying for this whole wedding

with money he didn't have yes it seems

that for the last two years

um he'd been trying to keep one step

ahead of a financial

ruin robbing peter to pay paul

and i think the love he put into the

wedding was a last attempt to keep the

good times

at sunny point you're telling me that

bobby murdered rachel when she found out

about the fraud bobby's about the only

member of the family you never arrested

inspector hughish that's enough of that

no doubt you've got around him bobby was

no more a killer than his brother was

he'd been genuinely troubled by jacko's

last words

maybe this is the best thing i've ever

done

and why offer up information like that

if you were intent on jacko being blamed

for the murder

why not for example try and discredit dr

calgary's evidence

and besides he wasn't the only person

who benefited from rachel's death that

night was he mr darren

whose secrets were kept safe

[Music]

tina why did your mother arrange for you

to have a job at a university library in

the north of scotland

she doesn't know okay that's just what

mom did she was a very controlling woman

let her answer please

and when you came here that night to

tell her you weren't going to take the

position who did you see coming over the

crossing just after the time of the

murder

whose boat was being used tina

mickey no i was at work i was collecting

from bristol

you checked that with my employer didn't

you inspector and i didn't stay because

if mickey was in a temper

as he usually was after visiting mother

he'd be in no mood to talk to me

why did you think mickey had come to see

your mother

he was angry with her he didn't want her

to keep controlling my life

why not

she'd realized you and mickey were in a

relationship hadn't she

why you both lived away in redken she

was determined to drive a wedge between

you

we're only brother and sister by law she

had no right to control us

you suspect mickey killed your mother

don't you tina you're trying to protect

him

smartphone his alibi does check out with

his employers you saw mickey's boat and

thought it was him

but it couldn't have been mickey you

followed jacko out that night didn't you

hester

what did you talk about nothing

i'm a dead man yes calm down come on

let's go for a walk baby

if i don't get the cash they really are

going to kill me

i'm sure it's not that bad jacko

what do you know i've never seen jekyll

frightened

i couldn't calm him how far

did you walk with him just

to the corner of the house then i came

back

did you see anyone else

you sure because i don't think you were

the only one who followed jacko out

after the fight

who then who has been shifting the blame

from one person to another since doctor

calgary's arrival

jacko is responsible i'm certain

thank god you have not yet married her

mr argyle

thank god she will not get away with it

he was a shadow of a man with rachel

when she died he became alive again

who considers herself to be the real

mother of these children the one who

gave them the

unconditional love they were so badly

short of

for what reason would i follow jacko out

miss marple

because you loved him

because you were the latest in a long

line of middle-aged women jacko could

manipulate

jacko could bleed dry of savings jacko

could make feel

special you said jacko killed rachel and

i think you still believe that

you believe that jacko was responsible

make it look like a burglary

and then bring me the money yes and to

hit her heart

make sure she'll never get up i'll get

her cast iron out by for 8 o'clock

because everyone will suspect it's me

it took long yes

[Music]

[Music]

so

jack who didn't know who the real killer

was but he also knew that if he left

prison

he was going to get killed anyway and he

did the one good thing in his life by

letting you

go free the real mother

that these children had

you tell a good story miss marple

but what proof is there no one saw

anything no one

heard anything not even inspector

hughish can arrest me on hearsay

these children who you've loved and

protected your whole life will never be

free of suspicion

if you don't confess cursed there

ordeal by innocence has already cost one

of them his life and another has been

pushed to the edge

let alone my friend

whose life you thought disposable was

not part of this family who was never

part of any family

and who you denied happiness to

set your children free kirsten

it's the only way you can protect them

now

kirsten lindstrom did you murder rachel

argyle and gwendavon

so

[Applause]

[Music]

if she loved jacko so much

why did she let him die she didn't know

about him being married

she thought she was the only one

i think i love curdle to hate the moment

his wife knocked on the door

you going to london yes yes yes and i'm

traveling again galapagos there's a new

expedition do you ever go home dr

calgary

really really where's home for you ms

[Music]

martin

[Music]

about the galapagos is seeing species

that accumulate to those islands

what do you think it'd be a remarkable

thing as well stumble like darwin

[Music]

across

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

you
