1
00:01:07,678 --> 00:01:09,678
Pritchard.

2
00:01:11,185 --> 00:01:13,487
You'll have to stop
ringing me here, please.

3
00:01:14,331 --> 00:01:17,930
No, she's upstairs, in bed.

4
00:01:20,941 --> 00:01:24,466
Look, I said I'll do it,
and I will, in my own time.

5
00:01:24,756 --> 00:01:26,943
Now please stop ringing me here.

6
00:01:44,732 --> 00:01:46,006
The protection of the spirits

7
00:01:46,008 --> 00:01:50,390
of the wind, the earth,
the fire and the water around me.

8
00:01:50,428 --> 00:01:52,305
And I beg you spirits
not to let evil cross the boundary

9
00:01:52,308 --> 00:01:53,794
into this room tonight.

10
00:01:55,637 --> 00:01:57,338
Spirits, please help me.

11
00:01:58,170 --> 00:01:59,527
Help me, please.

12
00:02:28,037 --> 00:02:29,143
Ah, Carol.

13
00:02:29,146 --> 00:02:31,770
Tell Hester I'll take breakfast
in the study this morning, please.

14
00:02:31,774 --> 00:02:32,483
Yes, Sir.

15
00:02:43,868 --> 00:02:45,351
Mrs Pritchard?

16
00:02:50,971 --> 00:02:52,023
Mary?

17
00:02:54,815 --> 00:02:55,946
Mary! Mary!

18
00:03:01,067 --> 00:03:02,988
For goodness sake.

19
00:03:15,782 --> 00:03:17,451
Oh, no.

20
00:03:17,465 --> 00:03:18,504
No...

21
00:03:34,057 --> 00:03:35,042
George?

22
00:03:41,188 --> 00:03:42,128
What is it?

23
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:45,841
Mr Pritchard.

24
00:03:46,713 --> 00:03:48,402
You should see this.

25
00:03:58,743 --> 00:04:00,768
Look at the geranium, Sir.

26
00:04:23,630 --> 00:04:25,684
It's the wasp season already,
Miss Marple.

27
00:04:25,699 --> 00:04:27,645
Oh, so I see.

28
00:04:27,665 --> 00:04:30,564
I hope you're killing them humanely,
John.

29
00:04:30,581 --> 00:04:32,554
Nasty little predators.

30
00:04:32,574 --> 00:04:36,105
What's the point of a wasp, Miss
Marple? I've never worked it out.

31
00:04:36,111 --> 00:04:37,508
I don't know.

32
00:04:37,522 --> 00:04:39,450
I'm sure they have their place.

33
00:04:39,468 --> 00:04:42,215
The garden's going to look wonderful
again this year, Miss.

34
00:04:42,220 --> 00:04:43,523
I think so.

35
00:04:44,227 --> 00:04:46,620
Especially if we can get rid
of these blighters.

36
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,642
Are you alright,
Miss Marple?

37
00:05:09,309 --> 00:05:11,305
Yes.

38
00:05:24,282 --> 00:05:25,397
Hello?
Hello. Yes.

39
00:05:25,417 --> 00:05:30,710
I wonder, is it possible to speak
to Detective William Somerset?

40
00:05:30,734 --> 00:05:33,446
Yes, I believe he has a hearing
in front of the Old Bailey today.

41
00:05:33,465 --> 00:05:36,153
-Your name, please?
-Yes. My name is Jane Marple.

42
00:05:36,411 --> 00:05:39,336
Detective Somerset? There's
a telephone call for you, Sir.

43
00:05:39,860 --> 00:05:41,968
It's a Miss Jane Marple.
Oh, for goodness sake.

44
00:05:41,972 --> 00:05:45,329
No, I don't want to talk to her.
Tell her... to go away.

45
00:05:45,334 --> 00:05:48,754
I've got a murderer to hang.
Only put it more politely than that.

46
00:05:50,693 --> 00:05:51,743
He won't come to the phone?

47
00:05:51,746 --> 00:05:54,578
Perhaps you could
call back later, Madam. Goodbye.

48
00:05:55,888 --> 00:05:58,100
Oh, Jane. Jane...

49
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,270
Scotland Yard.
Hello, yes.

50
00:06:10,289 --> 00:06:14,288
I wonder, could you tell me where
I can find Sir Henry Clithering?

51
00:06:23,021 --> 00:06:25,255
I'm terribly sorry,
but as I've explained to you,

52
00:06:25,271 --> 00:06:27,206
this is a gentlemen's club.

53
00:06:27,226 --> 00:06:30,213
Yes, I know. But I have travelled
some distance already today.

54
00:06:30,234 --> 00:06:33,427
I need to see Sir Henry Clithering
on a matter of some urgency.

55
00:06:33,432 --> 00:06:36,016
Jane! Oh, what is it?
Oh!

56
00:06:36,020 --> 00:06:38,251
Well, it's this, Sir Henry.
Excuse me.

57
00:06:38,904 --> 00:06:41,557
They're going to hang
the wrong person for murder.

58
00:06:42,239 --> 00:06:44,371
Thank you so much.
I think you'd better come through.

59
00:06:44,375 --> 00:06:47,541
But Sir Henry, ladies are
not allowed beyond the desk, Sir.

60
00:06:47,546 --> 00:06:50,169
I'm a trustee. Make an exception.

61
00:06:50,185 --> 00:06:52,168
Excuse me. Thank you.

62
00:06:56,478 --> 00:06:58,697
You need to stop the hearing, Henry,

63
00:06:58,701 --> 00:07:01,110
or there will
be terrible consequences.

64
00:07:01,114 --> 00:07:02,723
Are you familiar with the case?

65
00:07:02,726 --> 00:07:06,170
Yes, but I retired from Scotland
Yard some time ago, you know?

66
00:07:06,712 --> 00:07:08,375
I carry no authority there.

67
00:07:08,378 --> 00:07:10,125
But you can get
to the people in authority,

68
00:07:10,129 --> 00:07:12,367
whereas I can't, and I need to.

69
00:07:12,370 --> 00:07:16,089
Calm down, Jane. Have you ever
known me to be wrong, Sir Henry?

70
00:07:16,111 --> 00:07:19,110
In all the years you've known me?
No.

71
00:07:19,315 --> 00:07:22,070
Well, I was wrong here.

72
00:07:22,091 --> 00:07:24,455
I was there when it happened
and I've got it wrong.

73
00:07:25,887 --> 00:07:30,081
Do you remember when old
Mrs Challinor died in St Mary Mead?

74
00:07:30,103 --> 00:07:33,075
Mrs Challinor was murdered?
No, no, no.

75
00:07:33,096 --> 00:07:37,019
But when she died,
she had a knitting basket

76
00:07:37,037 --> 00:07:39,419
that was full of abandoned projects

77
00:07:39,423 --> 00:07:41,836
and they were so entangled

78
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,041
that one simply
couldn't unravel them.

79
00:07:44,061 --> 00:07:48,088
Well, that's
how I think of this case,

80
00:07:48,094 --> 00:07:50,021
this Blue Geranium murder.

81
00:07:50,035 --> 00:07:52,950
It became so knotted

82
00:07:52,971 --> 00:07:55,962
that it was difficult
to tell one thing from the other.

83
00:07:55,978 --> 00:07:57,940
Tell me what happened, Jane.

84
00:07:57,943 --> 00:08:00,016
And then tell me why it's wrong.

85
00:08:00,932 --> 00:08:04,383
I'd been invited to the West Country
to visit a friend,

86
00:08:04,389 --> 00:08:05,891
Dermot Milewater.

87
00:08:06,733 --> 00:08:08,986
He lives in a village
called Little Ambrose.

88
00:08:09,299 --> 00:08:10,687
And to get there,

89
00:08:10,690 --> 00:08:14,148
you have to catch a bus
from the train station in Fothersby.

90
00:08:18,453 --> 00:08:20,969
There was one other person
on the bus.

91
00:08:25,882 --> 00:08:28,337
And he was in a mood to talk.

92
00:08:31,465 --> 00:08:32,918
I love nature, don't you?

93
00:08:34,624 --> 00:08:37,364
I love the bareness of the trees
and the clouds.

94
00:08:37,369 --> 00:08:39,269
Yes, yes, I do.

95
00:08:39,620 --> 00:08:43,853
'My heart leaps up when
I behold a rainbow in the sky.'

96
00:08:44,167 --> 00:08:46,655
Wordsworth.
Yes, yes.

97
00:08:46,659 --> 00:08:52,857
And I don't mind saying that
I've been through a tunnel, Mrs...?

98
00:08:53,588 --> 00:08:54,814
Marple. Miss Marple.

99
00:08:54,832 --> 00:08:59,787
Eddie Seward, or just Ed or Eddie.
Eddie. Eddie.

100
00:08:59,811 --> 00:09:03,773
As I came through this tunnel,
I saw a crocus.

101
00:09:03,795 --> 00:09:06,782
Saw it out the window.
An early white crocus.

102
00:09:06,803 --> 00:09:10,582
And it was beautiful.
It was terrifically beautiful.

103
00:09:10,587 --> 00:09:12,324
And I thought I've never really seen

104
00:09:12,328 --> 00:09:14,099
nature as being beautiful before.

105
00:09:14,102 --> 00:09:16,755
And I should have done.
I... I should have done.

106
00:09:16,775 --> 00:09:20,742
And then my heart leaped up,
like in the Wordsworth.

107
00:09:20,761 --> 00:09:22,763
It jumped.

108
00:09:30,406 --> 00:09:35,086
Do you think God is in nature,
Miss Marple?

109
00:09:35,351 --> 00:09:36,677
I think he is.

110
00:09:39,839 --> 00:09:42,454
I think he shows us
how terrifically beautiful...

111
00:09:43,981 --> 00:09:46,547
..the world could really be.

112
00:09:48,985 --> 00:09:51,937
Are you going to Little Ambrose,
Mr Seward?

113
00:09:52,667 --> 00:09:55,234
I'm going to force the moment
to its crisis.

114
00:09:55,812 --> 00:09:57,569
What moment to what crisis?

115
00:09:57,758 --> 00:09:59,668
And surrounded by such beauty I...

116
00:10:00,397 --> 00:10:01,779
..I feel I will.

117
00:10:02,895 --> 00:10:04,461
I feel I can do it, yes.

118
00:10:05,358 --> 00:10:06,801
Yes.

119
00:10:26,310 --> 00:10:27,745
-Thank you very much.
- Madam.

120
00:10:30,282 --> 00:10:32,433
Jane! Jane!

121
00:10:33,696 --> 00:10:35,293
Oh!
Oh, I'm sorry I'm late.

122
00:10:35,296 --> 00:10:38,063
Hello, Dermot.
But I come bearing gifts.

123
00:10:38,068 --> 00:10:39,799
They're beautiful. Thank you.

124
00:10:43,099 --> 00:10:46,104
Well, it's been too long, Jane.

125
00:10:46,109 --> 00:10:48,850
Yes, yes, it has. Excuse me.

126
00:10:49,052 --> 00:10:52,164
Mr Seward,
do you know where you're going?

127
00:10:52,427 --> 00:10:55,087
Uh, yes...

128
00:10:55,103 --> 00:10:58,136
Thank you. It's a beautiful village.

129
00:11:03,644 --> 00:11:07,344
- Hello! You must be Miss Marple.
- Yes.

130
00:11:07,350 --> 00:11:11,015
Jane, this is Hester.
This is my niece, Robert's daughter.

131
00:11:11,020 --> 00:11:15,036
No! I remember you when your father
had the parish at St Mary Mead.

132
00:11:15,055 --> 00:11:16,092
You were this tall.

133
00:11:16,110 --> 00:11:18,585
I remember St Mary Mead
very fondly.

134
00:11:18,589 --> 00:11:21,035
- Is it still as pretty?
- It is.

135
00:11:21,055 --> 00:11:24,360
But this is, I think,
the prettiest village I know.

136
00:11:24,937 --> 00:11:27,713
And with a much more
impressive church.

137
00:11:28,133 --> 00:11:31,103
Yes, well,
as impressive as it may be,

138
00:11:31,124 --> 00:11:33,701
it might not be here
for much longer.

139
00:11:36,244 --> 00:11:39,072
We've had some trouble
with subsidence on the south wall.

140
00:11:39,092 --> 00:11:42,433
Uncle Dermot's raised funds
to dig out the foundations.

141
00:11:42,438 --> 00:11:45,852
It was a botched job, Jane.
They completely ruined it.

142
00:11:46,049 --> 00:11:48,112
Can't the diocese help?
No.

143
00:11:48,381 --> 00:11:49,750
But we have a plan.

144
00:11:50,103 --> 00:11:52,095
There's a generous millionaire
in the village now.

145
00:11:52,111 --> 00:11:55,033
Mr Trans-Europa Airlines,

146
00:11:55,054 --> 00:11:57,073
who bought Summerleigh at auction
when Major Frayn died,

147
00:11:57,089 --> 00:11:58,580
lock, stock, and barrel

148
00:11:58,583 --> 00:12:00,104
and all the contents.

149
00:12:01,023 --> 00:12:03,395
Hester's cook at Summerleigh now.
Yes.

150
00:12:03,752 --> 00:12:07,452
And our plan is that today, when
he's made captain of the golf club,

151
00:12:07,457 --> 00:12:09,741
we're praying he'll be
in a benevolent mood.

152
00:12:14,529 --> 00:12:15,488
Where is she, Philippa?

153
00:12:15,491 --> 00:12:18,621
She says honk the horn all you like,
but it's giving her a migraine.

154
00:12:18,626 --> 00:12:19,984
I've only honked it twice.

155
00:12:19,986 --> 00:12:22,065
And, anyway, she's decided
she's not going to come.

156
00:12:22,069 --> 00:12:23,383
Why not?

157
00:12:23,386 --> 00:12:26,543
- Here, let me help you on your bike.
- No. No thanks, George.

158
00:12:26,548 --> 00:12:29,548
She's had her horoscope read
this morning over the telephone.

159
00:12:30,047 --> 00:12:32,852
Oh, no.
And she wants you to ring Dr Frayn.

160
00:12:35,085 --> 00:12:39,582
Things are going to fall apart today.
That's what he said.

161
00:12:39,588 --> 00:12:42,001
It's a black day.

162
00:12:42,017 --> 00:12:44,420
The moon is in Mars or something.

163
00:12:44,424 --> 00:12:47,038
He said there were omens.
Omens, George!

164
00:12:48,376 --> 00:12:49,599
Pass me the chocolates.

165
00:12:50,010 --> 00:12:51,072
Where are they?!

166
00:12:51,451 --> 00:12:56,424
He said I should stay inside
or bad things will happen to me.

167
00:12:57,852 --> 00:13:00,758
Not these.
The truffles, you useless woman!

168
00:13:01,081 --> 00:13:04,509
And we should all stay here. No golf.

169
00:13:04,514 --> 00:13:07,412
Stay here in this sanctuary with me.

170
00:13:09,993 --> 00:13:11,055
Except you.

171
00:13:11,073 --> 00:13:13,992
You can go wherever you like,
Nurse Copling.

172
00:13:14,013 --> 00:13:17,066
You're annoying today.
I hope bad things happen to you.

173
00:13:18,299 --> 00:13:21,062
Darling, you said you were looking
forward to going to the golf club.

174
00:13:21,082 --> 00:13:22,494
You were going to wear
your new dress,

175
00:13:22,497 --> 00:13:24,275
which everyone was going to admire.

176
00:13:25,284 --> 00:13:27,053
Darling, they're expecting you.

177
00:13:27,072 --> 00:13:31,076
Yes, they're expecting me to lie dying on the floor
so they can stand around laughing at me whilst I lie dying!

178
00:13:34,759 --> 00:13:36,759
I have to be at the golf club by 3.

179
00:13:36,762 --> 00:13:37,999
I'll get her there as soon as I can.

180
00:13:38,002 --> 00:13:40,310
Is she in her room?
Yeah, follow the noise.

181
00:13:41,044 --> 00:13:42,108
George!

182
00:13:46,099 --> 00:13:49,056
Is that Dr Frayn?

183
00:13:52,102 --> 00:13:57,186
He said a black day, Johnny,
and you know how sensitive I am.

184
00:13:58,099 --> 00:14:00,107
Is that your 'magic' medicine?
Yes.

185
00:14:03,099 --> 00:14:08,080
Mmm. That works for me,
it settles me. I know.

186
00:14:08,103 --> 00:14:10,337
George brought some hyacinths in
from the greenhouse,

187
00:14:10,341 --> 00:14:11,760
thinking that would settle me.

188
00:14:12,137 --> 00:14:14,157
But nothing settles me
like you, Johnny.

189
00:14:15,253 --> 00:14:18,381
Will you stay close to me
at the golf club? Yes, of course.

190
00:14:18,386 --> 00:14:20,199
Will you watch over me all the time?

191
00:14:23,084 --> 00:14:25,107
So that afternoon, Sir Henry,

192
00:14:25,127 --> 00:14:28,151
most of Little Ambrose
turns up at the golf club.

193
00:14:28,168 --> 00:14:30,143
And I learn from Dermot

194
00:14:30,162 --> 00:14:34,976
that George Pritchard's brother,
Lewis, is a penniless writer

195
00:14:34,983 --> 00:14:39,291
and married
to Mary Pritchard's sister, Philippa.

196
00:14:40,168 --> 00:14:44,249
- Two brothers have married two sisters?
- Yes, and that afternoon.

197
00:14:44,255 --> 00:14:47,230
something very strange
was going on between the brothers.

198
00:14:48,713 --> 00:14:50,066
What happened to your nose?

199
00:14:50,189 --> 00:14:51,865
You need to give me 20 quid.

200
00:14:51,868 --> 00:14:53,676
I owe Pilger 20 quid.
I haven't got it.

201
00:14:53,679 --> 00:14:54,856
What? He did that to you?

202
00:14:55,536 --> 00:14:58,048
Yeah. I was walking here,
he draws up in that car.

203
00:14:58,053 --> 00:15:00,221
He says things will get a lot worse
if I don't pay.

204
00:15:01,532 --> 00:15:04,829
- If you need money, you're going
to have to go through Mary.  - No!

205
00:15:05,116 --> 00:15:07,457
She needs to know the money
is going to get to her sister

206
00:15:07,461 --> 00:15:08,832
and not some bloody bookmaker!

207
00:15:09,257 --> 00:15:11,654
Are you really
that much under her thumb?

208
00:15:12,227 --> 00:15:13,931
I know you like
carrying a big wad around,

209
00:15:13,934 --> 00:15:15,634
more than most people earn
in a month.

210
00:15:24,284 --> 00:15:27,590
Next time don't bother asking me.
You go to Mary.

211
00:15:34,086 --> 00:15:37,292
Sorry. Sorry I'm late.

212
00:15:37,310 --> 00:15:38,480
Did you bring the fruit pies?

213
00:15:39,485 --> 00:15:42,257
No, no. I'm afraid I didn't.
I ran out of time.

214
00:15:42,262 --> 00:15:43,890
Not to worry, not to worry.

215
00:15:43,911 --> 00:15:46,076
I just hope we've got enough
to go around.

216
00:15:46,093 --> 00:15:47,657
Hazel's an artist, Miss Marple.

217
00:15:47,660 --> 00:15:50,857
We have to allow her
a little dreaminess.

218
00:15:50,878 --> 00:15:53,679
Hello.
Jane Marple. Nice to meet you.

219
00:15:53,995 --> 00:15:57,749
Are all these people admiring
my dress, Johnny? Yes, they are.

220
00:15:57,961 --> 00:16:00,750
What was George speaking to
my sister's useless husband about?

221
00:16:00,754 --> 00:16:04,242
Was it money?
He handed over about L20.

222
00:16:04,248 --> 00:16:06,337
It'll be for the bookmakers again.
Right.

223
00:16:06,341 --> 00:16:09,227
And where is George now?
Where is he?

224
00:16:09,231 --> 00:16:11,025
He's with Reverend Milewater.

225
00:16:12,913 --> 00:16:14,115
Is he?

226
00:16:14,431 --> 00:16:16,638
Well, I bet I can tell you
what that's about.

227
00:16:16,642 --> 00:16:18,546
The cost,
well, it escalates every day.

228
00:16:18,549 --> 00:16:21,875
The diocese think
they can make funds available

229
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:22,892
by the end of the year.

230
00:16:22,911 --> 00:16:25,923
But by that time, the whole thing
could have collapsed completely.

231
00:16:25,944 --> 00:16:28,764
I hope it does, the miserable place.
Darling.

232
00:16:28,768 --> 00:16:31,168
How much are they after
this time, George?

233
00:16:31,897 --> 00:16:34,518
I mean, you people are shameless.

234
00:16:34,956 --> 00:16:36,518
We have been back here two years

235
00:16:36,521 --> 00:16:39,290
and already we've forked out
to redevelop the golf course,

236
00:16:39,295 --> 00:16:42,659
the cricket pavilion,
dig out the culverts.

237
00:16:42,934 --> 00:16:46,278
It's like being stuck in
a nightmare village of Oliver Twist,

238
00:16:46,283 --> 00:16:48,472
going, 'More! More! More!'

239
00:16:50,256 --> 00:16:51,295
Well, come on!

240
00:16:51,297 --> 00:16:54,525
Tell us how much you've cost
by messing up those renovations?

241
00:16:54,530 --> 00:16:56,688
Well, it's in the region of...

242
00:16:56,692 --> 00:17:00,335
Because you're not going
to get any, and I'll tell you why.

243
00:17:00,824 --> 00:17:03,212
Because I hate
that miserable little church.

244
00:17:03,898 --> 00:17:08,033
I hate the way it denies
the true old patterns of the world,

245
00:17:08,039 --> 00:17:12,192
the horoscopes and the auras
and all of the true things!

246
00:17:12,832 --> 00:17:16,340
I hate the way
it bores people to death every Sunday

247
00:17:16,346 --> 00:17:19,415
through this little failure
of a preacher.

248
00:17:20,481 --> 00:17:23,535
Oh, ask everyone here. They all
think you're boring.

249
00:17:24,602 --> 00:17:27,706
They all think
you're a waste of space.

250
00:17:28,377 --> 00:17:29,828
So no money.

251
00:17:34,631 --> 00:17:39,429
Well, I am done now,
so you can all stop gawping.

252
00:17:42,992 --> 00:17:46,368
Shall we go outside to perform
the ceremony for the new captain?

253
00:17:54,831 --> 00:17:57,494
Just ignore her, Reverend.
She's an awful woman.

254
00:17:57,956 --> 00:18:00,960
If she can say one spiteful thing,
she can say a hatful.

255
00:18:01,334 --> 00:18:04,184
She makes her husband's life misery,
too, by all accounts,

256
00:18:04,189 --> 00:18:05,374
if that's any consolation.

257
00:18:05,377 --> 00:18:06,161
God forgive me,

258
00:18:06,163 --> 00:18:09,162
but if George Pritchard were
to brain his wife with a hatchet,

259
00:18:09,167 --> 00:18:11,846
there's not a soul in this village
that wouldn't acquit him.

260
00:18:13,178 --> 00:18:15,941
Couldn't you have stopped her?
No one can stop her, darling.

261
00:18:16,328 --> 00:18:18,799
You can.
Maybe she's right.

262
00:18:19,421 --> 00:18:22,131
Maybe people are beginning
to sponge off them.

263
00:18:22,135 --> 00:18:23,687
Wish me luck with the speech.

264
00:18:30,023 --> 00:18:31,181
Ladies and gentlemen.

265
00:18:32,101 --> 00:18:34,376
Since George Pritchard
came to Little Ambrose

266
00:18:34,381 --> 00:18:36,375
and bought Summerleigh
from my late father,

267
00:18:37,197 --> 00:18:38,768
we've a lot to thank him for.

268
00:18:38,826 --> 00:18:41,552
The cricket pavilion,
the work on the back nine

269
00:18:41,556 --> 00:18:44,637
and many other small projects
that have improved our community

270
00:18:44,643 --> 00:18:46,204
are down to George's generosity.

271
00:18:46,723 --> 00:18:50,537
So it's a pleasure to invite him
to accept the captaincy of our club,

272
00:18:51,136 --> 00:18:53,646
taking over from
the many years service of my father,

273
00:18:53,651 --> 00:18:56,664
and to perform the ceremonial drive
off the first tee.

274
00:18:56,668 --> 00:18:58,586
Let's see if he can
beat our captain's record

275
00:18:58,590 --> 00:19:03,073
held by our ladies' captain,
Mrs Hartopp, at 183 yards.

276
00:19:03,079 --> 00:19:05,829
A phenomenal distance,
considering she's a woman.

277
00:19:07,055 --> 00:19:08,166
I'll do well to beat that.

278
00:19:09,060 --> 00:19:12,011
Lewis, are your kids out spotting?
Yeah, they're down there.

279
00:19:12,486 --> 00:19:13,776
They're being very optimistic.

280
00:19:22,752 --> 00:19:26,280
And it's the trees by the river.

281
00:19:34,768 --> 00:19:37,258
- Do I get a second go?
- No.

282
00:19:37,262 --> 00:19:39,132
My kids will never find that, George.

283
00:19:39,135 --> 00:19:40,238
They'd be here for years.

284
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,768
Come out looking
like Rip Van bloody Winkle.

285
00:19:43,931 --> 00:19:47,657
Dad! Dad! Call the police!

286
00:19:47,272 --> 00:19:48,335
Dad!

287
00:19:48,881 --> 00:19:51,644
Call the police!

288
00:20:06,845 --> 00:20:07,236
Oh, God.

289
00:20:11,170 --> 00:20:11,560
Is he dead?

290
00:20:12,945 --> 00:20:14,880
Come here. Come here, Michael.

291
00:20:16,694 --> 00:20:20,776
Turn him over.

292
00:20:23,397 --> 00:20:23,942
Who is it, George?

293
00:20:27,523 --> 00:20:30,237
Oh, my goodness.

294
00:20:35,194 --> 00:20:35,888
And did Eddie Seward
say where he'd come from?

295
00:20:38,336 --> 00:20:41,017
I presumed London.
His coat was Saville Row.

296
00:20:41,021 --> 00:20:44,715
And to be on the 10:25 bus
from Fothersby

297
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,102
meant he'd most likely
arrived on the 8:05 from Paddington.

298
00:20:48,108 --> 00:20:48,899
Right.

299
00:20:49,044 --> 00:20:52,049
And it was an impulsive visit,
Detective Somerset.

300
00:20:52,044 --> 00:20:55,201
I believe he'd only decided
to make the journey that morning.

301
00:20:55,205 --> 00:21:00,218
He told you that, did he?
No, no. He had no travel bag.

302
00:21:00,226 --> 00:21:03,024
And did he say why he was headed
to Little Ambrose? Yes.

303
00:21:03,788 --> 00:21:08,141
He said he was here
to 'force the moment to its crisis'.

304
00:21:08,148 --> 00:21:09,738
Well, that could mean anything.
No, no.

305
00:21:09,841 --> 00:21:13,303
It's from a poem
about a man called Prufrock

306
00:21:13,309 --> 00:21:16,477
who's trying to summon up the courage
to ask a woman to marry him.

307
00:21:16,591 --> 00:21:17,425
Is it?

308
00:21:17,426 --> 00:21:21,448
Inspector, I couldn't help
noticing when I saw the body

309
00:21:21,458 --> 00:21:25,155
that the bottom half of the tie
that killed him was missing.

310
00:21:25,161 --> 00:21:26,914
You had a good look, did you?

311
00:21:26,916 --> 00:21:30,206
You can learn so much if you're
lucky enough to see the body. Um...

312
00:21:31,792 --> 00:21:37,868
Can I just ask if the other part
of his tie was found on or near him?

313
00:21:38,448 --> 00:21:40,430
Well, that's a police concern,
Miss Marple. Yes, I...

314
00:21:40,605 --> 00:21:44,211
Inspector, you've just had a phone call

315
00:21:44,216 --> 00:21:49,716
from a certain lady who would
like to see you rather urgently.

316
00:21:49,725 --> 00:21:51,303
And the scratches on his neck,
I wonder,

317
00:21:51,942 --> 00:21:55,402
were they made by the dead man
or by a possible assailant?

318
00:21:55,409 --> 00:21:56,725
Again, Miss Marple,

319
00:21:56,727 --> 00:21:58,548
that's a matter that should
only concern the police.

320
00:21:58,552 --> 00:22:01,855
And what's the name of
this certain lady? Mary Pritchard.

321
00:22:01,861 --> 00:22:04,963
I suggest you wear a helmet.

322
00:22:05,282 --> 00:22:07,398
I don't want those pills.
I want your 'magic', Dr Frayn.

323
00:22:08,452 --> 00:22:10,990
You know I can't take pills
without mayonnaise.

324
00:22:10,994 --> 00:22:13,696
Mrs Pritchard, I was told you
had something urgent to tell me.

325
00:22:13,701 --> 00:22:15,009
That's what she said.

326
00:22:15,012 --> 00:22:16,464
I'm being burgled.

327
00:22:16,466 --> 00:22:18,477
You are not being burgled!

328
00:22:18,481 --> 00:22:21,080
Jewellery goes missing
from this room.

329
00:22:21,085 --> 00:22:23,285
Yes, it does.
My emerald ring, for one.

330
00:22:23,289 --> 00:22:25,113
That diamond brooch.

331
00:22:25,117 --> 00:22:28,315
Snuff boxes from the hall tables
spirited away.

332
00:22:28,913 --> 00:22:30,164
Now you're in the village, Inspector.

333
00:22:30,366 --> 00:22:31,463
You'll take me seriously

334
00:22:31,466 --> 00:22:33,805
and put your efforts
into this crime, as well.

335
00:22:33,810 --> 00:22:36,665
Mrs Pritchard,
I have a capital crime here.

336
00:22:36,669 --> 00:22:39,466
I was told you had something to say
about the murder of Eddie Seward.

337
00:22:39,951 --> 00:22:41,506
That was Eddie Seward?

338
00:22:41,508 --> 00:22:42,466
Yes, did you know him?

339
00:22:42,681 --> 00:22:49,046
Oh, I knew him.
You did, too, didn't you, George?

340
00:22:49,057 --> 00:22:49,830
Just before I left the Yard,

341
00:22:50,424 --> 00:22:54,259
we investigated an 'Edward Seward'
because his wife went missing.

342
00:22:54,266 --> 00:22:55,297
That's right.

343
00:22:55,298 --> 00:22:59,458
And that's what Detective Somerset
found out after a quick phone call.

344
00:22:59,471 --> 00:23:01,577
He was a member here, you know?

345
00:23:01,580 --> 00:23:04,851
Rich as Croesus, he was.
Inherited a mining fortune.

346
00:23:04,857 --> 00:23:07,326
Never did a day's work in his life.

347
00:23:07,330 --> 00:23:10,040
I believe we would have been in the
same society events

348
00:23:10,235 --> 00:23:11,687
as Eddie Seward, but

349
00:23:11,689 --> 00:23:13,466
we weren't friends, I wouldn't
have recognised him.

350
00:23:13,470 --> 00:23:16,186
- Business associates?
- No.

351
00:23:16,191 --> 00:23:19,045
Would you like a drink, Inspector?

352
00:23:19,049 --> 00:23:19,729
Or are you alright with tea?

353
00:23:20,454 --> 00:23:23,495
No, no, thanks. Tea is fine.
Of course.

354
00:23:23,502 --> 00:23:24,820
So, from what I can gather,

355
00:23:25,143 --> 00:23:28,650
he would finance ventures,
some of them nefarious?

356
00:23:28,658 --> 00:23:31,701
Yes, well, I steer clear
of financiers like that.

357
00:23:31,706 --> 00:23:35,563
Tea, Mr Pritchard?
Yes. Thank you, Hester.

358
00:23:35,570 --> 00:23:36,807
No, thanks.

359
00:23:37,447 --> 00:23:40,235
I set up the airline with contacts
I had in the air force.

360
00:23:42,552 --> 00:23:44,749
Good.

361
00:23:45,642 --> 00:23:46,014
Where were you between 11:30

362
00:23:48,113 --> 00:23:51,587
and the events at the golf course
this afternoon?

363
00:23:51,593 --> 00:23:52,614
I was here.

364
00:23:53,430 --> 00:23:59,144
Thank you.

365
00:24:02,897 --> 00:24:03,127
Hello. I've been looking for you.

366
00:24:05,166 --> 00:24:07,846
How are you?

367
00:24:08,545 --> 00:24:09,403
I have been here
for 40 years, Jane.

368
00:24:11,198 --> 00:24:13,427
And the whole thing's
going to fall down around me.

369
00:24:14,449 --> 00:24:17,473
You'll raise the money.

370
00:24:18,609 --> 00:24:19,381
Is this where you write?

371
00:24:20,678 --> 00:24:29,457
Yes, I try to get inspiration
from these things.

372
00:24:32,861 --> 00:24:33,569
The seven deadly sins.

373
00:24:35,815 --> 00:24:38,154
Yes, and I think
we all know who 'gluttony' is.

374
00:24:39,894 --> 00:24:41,178
Oh, I try to see
the good in people, Jane.

375
00:24:41,552 --> 00:24:44,874
But that woman has not got an
ounce of it in her. Never has had.

376
00:24:44,879 --> 00:24:47,153
Someone ought to teach her a lesson.

377
00:24:47,269 --> 00:24:55,073
Dermot...
No, I mean it.

378
00:24:56,036 --> 00:24:56,803
She grew up in this village.
Did you know that?

379
00:24:58,848 --> 00:25:00,493
No, no.

380
00:25:00,677 --> 00:25:01,667
She was very pretty.

381
00:25:02,177 --> 00:25:08,213
And George Pritchard
was her sister's fiancee.

382
00:25:08,223 --> 00:25:10,181
They met when they were in the RAF
during the war.

383
00:25:10,707 --> 00:25:13,650
And Philippa was so in love
with him.

384
00:25:13,654 --> 00:25:16,883
I've never seen anybody so in love.

385
00:25:16,889 --> 00:25:19,897
And Mary stole him.

386
00:25:21,036 --> 00:25:23,285
- This is George.
- Hello.

387
00:25:24,290 --> 00:25:28,573
She broke her sister's heart.

388
00:25:29,770 --> 00:25:30,817
Philippa married the other brother
out of desperation, I suppose,

389
00:25:32,648 --> 00:25:35,221
I don't know.

390
00:25:35,226 --> 00:25:36,145
And Mary's been
such a terrible wife to George.

391
00:25:37,713 --> 00:25:39,101
She makes him live here

392
00:25:39,103 --> 00:25:41,538
so that she can
play the lady of the manor,

393
00:25:41,543 --> 00:25:44,208
when he needs to be in London.

394
00:25:44,213 --> 00:25:46,134
She bullies him.

395
00:25:47,166 --> 00:25:47,891
Bullies everyone.

396
00:25:48,775 --> 00:25:50,547
I think
Eddie Seward deserved to die.

397
00:25:51,116 --> 00:25:53,125
That's a terrible thing to say.

398
00:25:53,129 --> 00:25:57,026
We knew him in London, Philippa.
He was a piece of work.

399
00:25:57,032 --> 00:25:59,703
Drunk and violent.

400
00:25:59,707 --> 00:26:01,768
How do you know that?
I met his wife.

401
00:26:02,286 --> 00:26:05,809
The one who disappeared.
When?

402
00:26:05,814 --> 00:26:08,185
At one of those hideous balls
on Park Lane

403
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:16,067
where everyone dresses up as if
Edward VII was still on the throne.

404
00:26:16,077 --> 00:26:17,199
Are you alright?

405
00:26:18,294 --> 00:26:19,133
Penelope Seward.

406
00:26:20,685 --> 00:26:22,605
She was quiet, didn't want to talk.

407
00:26:23,028 --> 00:26:24,671
But she was angry.

408
00:26:24,856 --> 00:26:25,779
She said
she couldn't go back to the ball

409
00:26:26,591 --> 00:26:28,367
because she had a huge bruise

410
00:26:28,370 --> 00:26:30,431
on the side of her face where he'd hit her.

411
00:26:30,434 --> 00:26:31,930
Oh, and that wasn't the worst.

412
00:26:31,934 --> 00:26:33,947
She had scars on her arms

413
00:26:33,951 --> 00:26:38,255
where she said he'd stubbed out
his cigars when he was drunk.

414
00:26:38,262 --> 00:26:40,677
She said if she stayed
one more day with him...

415
00:26:41,733 --> 00:26:45,134
I'll kill him.

416
00:26:46,042 --> 00:26:47,049
Now maybe she has.

417
00:26:48,055 --> 00:26:50,620
Oh, Mary.

418
00:26:50,639 --> 00:26:51,800
Obviously, the discovery of
Eddie's body

419
00:26:53,179 --> 00:27:02,210
had spread unease
through the village that night.

420
00:27:02,225 --> 00:27:02,790
Hi, Dad.
Hello.

421
00:27:04,053 --> 00:27:04,876
Hello, Daddy.

422
00:27:04,940 --> 00:27:07,050
That's a nice sound.
It's what I like to hear.

423
00:27:07,144 --> 00:27:09,675
How's the book going?

424
00:27:09,935 --> 00:27:10,444
It's going fine.

425
00:27:10,801 --> 00:27:14,414
Dad, who do you think
killed that man?

426
00:27:14,420 --> 00:27:16,683
Look, children. Don't mess...

427
00:27:17,743 --> 00:27:19,948
Can you just take these pots
off the table?!

428
00:27:20,351 --> 00:27:23,790
If you go and put your pajamas on,
I'll be up in a minute.

429
00:27:24,203 --> 00:27:35,767
I'll take that.

430
00:27:35,787 --> 00:27:35,974
This body down the club
would make a good story.

431
00:27:38,312 --> 00:27:40,872
Yeah, a potboiler.

432
00:27:40,876 --> 00:27:42,726
Well, sometimes pots need to boil,
don't they?

433
00:27:44,100 --> 00:27:46,660
Otherwise no-one eats.

434
00:27:47,311 --> 00:27:49,600
What does that mean?

435
00:27:51,801 --> 00:27:53,157
I've put this week's groceries
on the tab again.

436
00:27:54,177 --> 00:27:57,001
That's four weeks we owe now.

437
00:27:57,006 --> 00:27:57,579
Can you talk to your brother, Lewis?
I'm sure he...

438
00:27:58,945 --> 00:28:03,264
Philippa! Philippa!

439
00:28:03,272 --> 00:28:05,163
Everything's going to be fine.

440
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,032
£20, but I don't want
to pay it off yet.

441
00:28:13,083 --> 00:28:13,603
£20, but I don't want
to pay it off yet.

442
00:28:15,367 --> 00:28:17,111
I want you to put this on
Flavius the Great.

443
00:28:17,404 --> 00:28:19,369
Towcester, 2:15 tomorrow.

444
00:28:19,372 --> 00:28:20,964
Do you know your history?

445
00:28:20,968 --> 00:28:23,031
Flavius, named, I presume,
after Flavius Belisarius,

446
00:28:23,980 --> 00:28:28,479
was the only Roman general
who never lost a battle.

447
00:28:28,487 --> 00:28:34,608
He never lost.

448
00:28:36,658 --> 00:28:37,032
Hello.
I thought you'd gone, darling.

449
00:28:38,865 --> 00:28:41,803
Well, Mary asked me if I'd hang
around in case she had a relapse.

450
00:28:42,695 --> 00:28:44,552
A relapse of what?

451
00:28:44,555 --> 00:28:46,772
Actually, I was waiting for you.
Would you like to go for a drink?

452
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:52,165
Yes, a drink would be nice
after today. Good.

453
00:28:52,172 --> 00:28:53,885
34, blonde.

454
00:28:55,253 --> 00:28:56,791
Can I have a photograph sent
because I think she might be here?

455
00:28:57,226 --> 00:28:58,695
I'll look it up.

456
00:28:58,839 --> 00:29:01,109
Either that or Eddie Seward
came to see George Pritchard,

457
00:29:01,116 --> 00:29:02,944
which Pritchard denies.

458
00:29:02,946 --> 00:29:04,396
Eddie Seward, George Pritchard.

459
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,378
This could be a high-profile case,
Bill. Yeah, I'm aware of that.

460
00:29:07,383 --> 00:29:12,129
If I can wrap this up quickly it
could be my ticket back to London.

461
00:29:12,750 --> 00:29:16,645
Then that stuff will be forgotten.

462
00:29:16,653 --> 00:29:17,342
Hang on one moment.

463
00:29:19,168 --> 00:29:20,438
Yes, dear? Something
I forgot to say, Inspector.

464
00:29:22,321 --> 00:29:25,774
Eddie Seward was a drunk
and that much was obvious.

465
00:29:26,124 --> 00:29:28,712
But from his behaviour
on the bus this morning

466
00:29:28,716 --> 00:29:30,971
I don't think
he'd been drinking today.

467
00:29:30,974 --> 00:29:32,205
Interesting,
but could you walk away now,

468
00:29:32,207 --> 00:29:34,060
because I'm on
confidential police business here?

469
00:29:34,064 --> 00:29:35,650
Can I just ask, if I may,

470
00:29:35,653 --> 00:29:39,169
if you think the scratches
on his neck were self-inflicted

471
00:29:39,176 --> 00:29:41,352
or the result of a fight?

472
00:29:41,355 --> 00:29:42,894
My friend,
Sir Henry Clithering, you see,

473
00:29:42,897 --> 00:29:45,825
says you can always tell
if it's self-inflicted

474
00:29:45,831 --> 00:29:48,689
by looking under the fingernails.

475
00:29:48,693 --> 00:29:52,057
You know Sir Henry Clithering?
Scotland Yard?

476
00:29:53,223 --> 00:29:55,554
Eddie Seward was a drunk, wasn't he?

477
00:29:56,850 --> 00:29:58,048
He disappeared
from a drying-out clinic

478
00:29:58,819 --> 00:30:00,832
at about 5:00 yesterday afternoon.

479
00:30:00,836 --> 00:30:02,151
As I thought.

480
00:30:02,153 --> 00:30:06,029
And I think his wife must be
down here somewhere, don't you?

481
00:30:06,039 --> 00:30:07,076
Yes.

482
00:30:07,261 --> 00:30:08,568
Ah, yes.

483
00:30:08,571 --> 00:30:13,362
Well, if you need any help,
Inspector, do let me know.

484
00:30:15,745 --> 00:30:16,916
- Who on earth was that?
- You don't want to know.

485
00:30:18,319 --> 00:30:19,535
But I'll bet George Pritchard

486
00:30:19,732 --> 00:30:39,630
knows more about Eddie Seward
than he's letting on.

487
00:30:39,670 --> 00:30:39,905
Sir Henry.

488
00:30:41,789 --> 00:30:42,734
Thank you.

489
00:30:44,135 --> 00:30:45,058
So both you and Somerset were right.

490
00:30:47,415 --> 00:30:49,403
Penelope Seward
was at Little Ambrose.

491
00:30:49,581 --> 00:30:53,092
Yes, yes, yes, but wait.
I have to tell this right.

492
00:30:53,098 --> 00:30:56,139
And this is where it becomes tangled,

493
00:30:56,144 --> 00:30:58,479
like Mrs Challinor's wool, remember?

494
00:30:58,484 --> 00:31:00,008
Mrs Challinor's wool?

495
00:31:00,269 --> 00:31:03,631
Because the next morning,
while the whole house was out,

496
00:31:03,639 --> 00:31:07,854
Mary Pritchard had a visitor.

497
00:31:08,378 --> 00:31:09,422
Now, whenever she heard
of a new mystic or fortune-teller,

498
00:31:11,278 --> 00:31:14,698
she couldn't resist
arranging for a reading.

499
00:31:14,703 --> 00:31:16,824
The one she had scheduled
to call that morning

500
00:31:17,235 --> 00:31:22,664
was a fortune-teller
who called herself 'Zarida'.

501
00:31:22,672 --> 00:31:24,678
Zarida. Come in, come in.

502
00:31:26,379 --> 00:31:30,380
Yesterday I had the most horrific
horoscope and it all came true.

503
00:31:31,578 --> 00:31:34,523
I am so in tune with the spiritual...

504
00:31:34,810 --> 00:31:36,946
I cannot come into this room.

505
00:31:37,394 --> 00:31:40,709
I feel evil and danger.

506
00:31:41,330 --> 00:31:43,001
What are they doing here?

507
00:31:44,091 --> 00:31:47,590
Blue hyacinths are a warning,
Mary Pritchard.

508
00:31:49,628 --> 00:31:53,683
If you see blue hollyhocks,
they will mean danger.

509
00:31:54,500 --> 00:31:55,361
Danger...

510
00:31:55,534 --> 00:32:03,436
And blue geraniums
will mean your death.

511
00:32:03,455 --> 00:32:04,865
- I'm going to die.
- You're not, darling.

512
00:32:06,363 --> 00:32:08,654
Warning, then danger, then death.

513
00:32:08,658 --> 00:32:11,274
You certainly got your money's worth
this morning, didn't you?

514
00:32:11,279 --> 00:32:13,761
I was foretold Eddie Seward's death.

515
00:32:13,764 --> 00:32:15,904
Now I've been foretold my own.

516
00:32:16,205 --> 00:32:19,482
Look, you don't get blue hollyhocks.

517
00:32:19,489 --> 00:32:21,246
They're pink and they're yellow.

518
00:32:21,248 --> 00:32:22,560
So I think it's fair to say

519
00:32:22,562 --> 00:32:24,620
that you're going to be with us
forever, Mary.

520
00:32:24,625 --> 00:32:27,634
You know blue has always
been repellent to me, George!

521
00:32:27,639 --> 00:32:28,971
It is a pity food isn't blue.

522
00:32:28,973 --> 00:32:34,490
Who brought the hyacinths in?
Mr Pritchard.

523
00:32:34,502 --> 00:32:36,162
Now, are you going
to host the drinks tonight?

524
00:32:37,506 --> 00:32:39,657
You know
the golf lot are coming round.

525
00:32:39,660 --> 00:32:42,469
I think I might be dead
by this evening.

526
00:32:42,473 --> 00:32:44,299
Enough!

527
00:32:44,302 --> 00:32:46,459
Enough of this spiritual poppycock!
- George...

528
00:32:48,192 --> 00:32:50,740
And the crackpots
that you listen to!

529
00:32:50,957 --> 00:32:53,304
I hate this, Mary. I hate it!

530
00:32:53,579 --> 00:32:54,712
Everything I've ever done
you've ruined.

531
00:32:55,217 --> 00:32:59,242
- You ruin every day of my life.
- I'm scared, Georgie...

532
00:32:59,249 --> 00:33:02,433
Well, I'm not scared of you anymore.

533
00:33:02,437 --> 00:33:03,315
Now you stop this nonsense.

534
00:33:03,987 --> 00:33:05,905
You get out of bed,
you go downstairs,

535
00:33:05,909 --> 00:33:07,874
you host this evening,
you do it well.

536
00:33:07,878 --> 00:33:17,003
Because I'm warning you,
I've had enough!

537
00:33:17,019 --> 00:33:17,914
Do you see there, Jane?
That great big crack?

538
00:33:20,488 --> 00:33:22,298
Yes, Yes.

539
00:33:22,409 --> 00:33:24,139
Have there been
any new arrivals in the village

540
00:33:24,394 --> 00:33:26,905
over the last couple of years,

541
00:33:26,909 --> 00:33:28,337
women in their 30s?

542
00:33:28,340 --> 00:33:31,287
Well, there's been a couple of them,
haven't there, Hes? Mm.

543
00:33:31,292 --> 00:33:34,883
They've had a change of nurse
up at Summerleigh.

544
00:33:35,182 --> 00:33:39,750
Nurse Copling came with excellent
references, didn't she, Hes?

545
00:33:40,582 --> 00:33:41,939
She did, yes.

546
00:33:41,941 --> 00:33:44,246
Well, I'm new, of course,
Miss Marple. Been here a year now.

547
00:33:44,436 --> 00:33:46,496
Oh, well, of course,
that makes three of them.

548
00:33:46,500 --> 00:33:49,186
And if only Dr Frayn
would eventually get round

549
00:33:49,190 --> 00:33:51,169
to asking you to marry him,

550
00:33:51,172 --> 00:33:52,059
you'd be with us a little longer,
wouldn't you?

551
00:33:52,062 --> 00:33:55,323
If he ever does.

552
00:33:55,329 --> 00:33:57,058
Why would Eddie Seward's body
wash up at the golf course?

553
00:33:59,469 --> 00:34:02,650
Is there anything upriver from there?

554
00:34:02,655 --> 00:34:04,817
Well, only an old water mill,
but it's practically abandoned.

555
00:34:05,465 --> 00:34:06,917
Why? What are you thinking, Jane?

556
00:34:06,919 --> 00:34:10,994
I think that Eddie came
to Little Ambrose to find his wife.

557
00:34:11,004 --> 00:34:14,212
I imagine he was going to tell her
that he'd cleaned himself up

558
00:34:14,725 --> 00:34:16,932
and was going to force
the moment to its crisis

559
00:34:16,936 --> 00:34:19,210
and ask her to take him back.

560
00:34:19,213 --> 00:34:22,432
But instead she killed him
and dumped his body in the river?

561
00:34:23,111 --> 00:34:26,891
- Well, perhaps.
- Miss Marple...

562
00:34:27,030 --> 00:34:29,696
I heard George Pritchard
lie to the police yesterday.

563
00:34:29,700 --> 00:34:32,527
Where were you between 11:30

564
00:34:33,168 --> 00:34:34,951
and the events at the golf course
this afternoon?

565
00:34:34,955 --> 00:34:35,499
I was here.

566
00:34:36,031 --> 00:34:37,270
Thank you.

567
00:34:37,952 --> 00:34:42,722
But he wasn't. He was absent
from Summerleigh the whole time.

568
00:34:48,082 --> 00:34:49,502
Who was the third woman who arrived?
Um, Hazel Instow.

569
00:34:52,311 --> 00:34:57,093
She's lovely.
What do you know about her?

570
00:34:57,099 --> 00:34:59,295
I came to Little Ambrose,
I'd say 18 months ago,

571
00:35:01,228 --> 00:35:02,409
for the peace and quiet.

572
00:35:02,494 --> 00:35:04,987
And before that?
I lived in Alexandria.

573
00:35:04,992 --> 00:35:06,694
I love the antiquities.

574
00:35:06,944 --> 00:35:09,155
It had always been a dream
of mine to paint in Egypt.

575
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,576
How long did you live there?
A number of years.

576
00:35:11,581 --> 00:35:13,738
My sister is married
to the British Consul.

577
00:35:13,742 --> 00:35:15,784
I'm afraid I never knew
this Mr Seward, Inspector,

578
00:35:16,171 --> 00:35:18,783
so I can't really help you.

579
00:35:18,788 --> 00:35:22,390
Of course. And before Egypt?

580
00:35:22,397 --> 00:35:26,054
London.

581
00:35:26,854 --> 00:35:27,961
May I ask, is it possible
to make a living doing this?

582
00:35:30,756 --> 00:35:32,715
A small one, yes.

583
00:35:32,982 --> 00:35:35,763
There's a gallery in Chelsea
which takes the occasional work,

584
00:35:36,014 --> 00:35:47,704
but it's a vocation rather
than a profession for me, Detective.

585
00:35:47,724 --> 00:35:48,510
How much would he fetch?

586
00:35:49,916 --> 00:35:51,049
Oh, no. He's not going anywhere.

587
00:35:51,465 --> 00:35:53,942
That's just a sketch for
a commission from the golf club.

588
00:35:53,947 --> 00:35:58,815
When I paint it up they're going
to hang George in the clubhouse...

589
00:35:58,822 --> 00:35:59,830
..in a manner of speaking.

590
00:36:00,553 --> 00:36:04,811
Sorry.

591
00:36:04,818 --> 00:36:05,855
Is she coming down, Caroline?
No, Mrs Pritchard.

592
00:36:09,041 --> 00:36:10,816
Hazel, will you perform
hostess duties for George tonight?

593
00:36:12,041 --> 00:36:15,694
- No, you.
- Please.

594
00:36:15,700 --> 00:36:16,643
So what puzzles me is this -

595
00:36:17,244 --> 00:36:20,382
fortune-tellers are usually
out for what they can get.

596
00:36:20,388 --> 00:36:24,784
From what I can see, they just say
what Mrs Pritchard wants to hear.

597
00:36:24,792 --> 00:36:26,281
This Zarida,

598
00:36:26,527 --> 00:36:29,995
she seems to be frightening her
with no advantage to herself.

599
00:36:30,935 --> 00:36:32,993
I don't see the point.

600
00:36:33,366 --> 00:36:34,691
How did Mary hear of Zarida?

601
00:36:35,387 --> 00:36:38,238
Susan Carstairs, the nurse
before me, put her on to her.

602
00:36:38,243 --> 00:36:41,102
Why does that not surprise me?

603
00:36:41,106 --> 00:36:43,322
Nurse Carstairs was really
into this sort of thing.

604
00:36:44,388 --> 00:36:48,080
She sent this letter.
She left about six months ago.

605
00:36:48,087 --> 00:36:50,027
It was all very sudden.
She sent this... Sorry, Hester.

606
00:36:50,030 --> 00:36:54,240
But she sent this recommendation
out of the blue last week.

607
00:36:54,249 --> 00:36:56,447
Did Mrs Pritchard
make the appointment herself?

608
00:36:56,450 --> 00:36:58,793
No, I rang Zarida at her request.

609
00:36:58,797 --> 00:37:05,720
I'm going to ring this Zarida now,
ask her what she's playing at.

610
00:37:05,732 --> 00:37:07,252
Why did Nurse Carstairs
leave so suddenly?

611
00:37:09,812 --> 00:37:12,226
We have a steady flow of staff here,
I'm afraid.

612
00:37:13,235 --> 00:37:18,919
My sister isn't the easiest person
to work for.

613
00:37:20,124 --> 00:37:20,768
Is she not in?

614
00:37:21,625 --> 00:37:28,359
The number's discontinued.

615
00:37:28,374 --> 00:37:28,914
Going to catch you!

616
00:37:29,688 --> 00:37:32,254
George.
Ah. Jonathan. Welcome. Come through.

617
00:37:32,512 --> 00:37:35,080
My wife's nerves have
got the better of her this evening

618
00:37:35,085 --> 00:37:36,305
and she won't be joining us.

619
00:37:36,306 --> 00:37:37,620
Pity.

620
00:37:37,809 --> 00:37:38,734
Hazel.
Hello.

621
00:37:39,212 --> 00:37:42,219
Evening.
Excuse me.

622
00:37:42,224 --> 00:37:44,852
Sorry to intrude, Pritchard,
but I'd like a quick word

623
00:37:44,943 --> 00:37:47,983
with your employees
Nurse Copling and Miss Milewater.

624
00:37:47,988 --> 00:37:50,424
Whatever for?

625
00:37:50,428 --> 00:37:52,267
Just routine.

626
00:37:54,362 --> 00:37:56,324
You can use my study.
Thank you.

627
00:38:01,114 --> 00:38:01,598
Hey, these are for later,
you little rascal.

628
00:38:02,850 --> 00:38:05,003
Can I have three, please?

629
00:38:05,006 --> 00:38:11,253
Thank you.

630
00:38:17,592 --> 00:38:18,966
Mrs Pritchard, I took a bottle
of Dr Frayn's magic medicine

631
00:38:23,217 --> 00:38:25,206
from your sister's bedroom.

632
00:38:25,208 --> 00:38:26,545
Whatever for, Caroline?

633
00:38:26,990 --> 00:38:39,764
You should taste it.

634
00:38:44,194 --> 00:38:44,400
So you've been living with
your uncle for over a year now?

635
00:38:47,364 --> 00:38:48,373
That's right.

636
00:38:48,375 --> 00:38:51,135
And where did you live before?

637
00:38:51,141 --> 00:38:51,877
What was the address?

638
00:38:52,921 --> 00:38:55,196
Strathleven Mansions, Bayswater.

639
00:38:56,015 --> 00:38:59,198
Did you live alone?

640
00:38:59,204 --> 00:38:59,777
Were you married?

641
00:39:00,376 --> 00:39:02,200
Not married, no.

642
00:39:02,205 --> 00:39:05,291
You don't think I'm that
dead man's wife, do you, Inspector?

643
00:39:05,297 --> 00:39:11,320
It's just procedure, Miss.

644
00:39:11,331 --> 00:39:12,755
I think Mrs Pritchard
might need to see you, Doctor.

645
00:39:16,490 --> 00:39:18,378
Excuse me.

646
00:39:18,834 --> 00:39:24,298
Thank you.

647
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:29,420
You're a novelist,
aren't you, Mr Pritchard?

648
00:39:31,771 --> 00:39:33,643
That's right, yes.

649
00:39:33,646 --> 00:39:34,829
How is the book going, Pritchard?

650
00:39:35,757 --> 00:39:36,683
You've been working on that

651
00:39:36,932 --> 00:39:39,553
for as long as
you've been here, haven't you?

652
00:39:39,558 --> 00:39:42,085
It's a very long book.

653
00:39:42,934 --> 00:39:43,662
What's it about?

654
00:39:44,808 --> 00:39:45,937
Well, it's an historical novel.

655
00:39:46,635 --> 00:39:48,419
It's based on
The Princes In The Tower.

656
00:39:48,933 --> 00:39:52,200
In many ways, it's the best story
Shakespeare never wrote.

657
00:39:52,682 --> 00:39:53,713
Didn't he?

658
00:39:53,854 --> 00:39:58,251
Yes, what we don't tell Lewis is
Shakespeare did actually write it.

659
00:39:58,262 --> 00:40:01,718
He didn't.

660
00:40:02,292 --> 00:40:03,592
He referred to it, he didn't
dedicate a whole work to it.

661
00:40:07,823 --> 00:40:09,424
And what would you know
about Shakespeare anyway, George?

662
00:40:10,449 --> 00:40:12,695
Nothing. You're right, of course.

663
00:40:12,699 --> 00:40:15,080
Is everyone alright for drinks?
Thank you.

664
00:40:15,887 --> 00:40:21,291
Lewis is nearing the end of it now,
actually, Reverend.

665
00:40:22,543 --> 00:40:23,577
Excuse me.
Yes?

666
00:40:24,746 --> 00:40:28,255
We saw you talking to the policeman.
Yes.

667
00:40:28,261 --> 00:40:30,775
We found it by the river.
Oh.

668
00:40:31,420 --> 00:40:32,938
We were making a den.

669
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:36,148
Well, very good.

670
00:40:37,224 --> 00:40:39,041
Oh, Inspector.
Yes?

671
00:40:39,644 --> 00:40:49,336
I think the children
have found where Eddie Seward died.

672
00:40:52,675 --> 00:40:53,415
What is the meaning of this,
Jonathan?

673
00:40:55,608 --> 00:40:57,089
You have the medicine.
We were looking for that.

674
00:40:57,733 --> 00:41:04,673
Why is it filled with water?

675
00:41:05,779 --> 00:41:06,910
Because your sister's not ill,
Mrs Pritchard.

676
00:41:10,305 --> 00:41:12,152
She is ill.
She is, Doctor.

677
00:41:12,155 --> 00:41:15,184
She's nauseous every day.

678
00:41:15,189 --> 00:41:17,573
She has had a succession of viruses
and she catches everything going.

679
00:41:17,578 --> 00:41:20,714
The only sickness she has
is in her head, Nurse.

680
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,536
My sister is definitely ill!

681
00:41:23,700 --> 00:41:25,913
And, therefore, the treatment
that makes her feel better

682
00:41:27,284 --> 00:41:29,054
is also in her head.

683
00:41:29,057 --> 00:41:30,229
There has been something seriously
wrong with Mary for years,

684
00:41:30,231 --> 00:41:32,182
Dr Frayn.

685
00:41:32,186 --> 00:41:33,237
And specialists have not been able
to get to the bottom of it.

686
00:41:33,240 --> 00:41:38,975
The only thing wrong with her
is that she overeats.

687
00:41:39,296 --> 00:41:42,715
And that's as much the fault
of people like you

688
00:41:43,103 --> 00:41:45,499
who pander to her every taste with
ridiculous amounts of food, Philippa.

689
00:41:45,504 --> 00:41:48,423
She's lost her confidence,
she's become agoraphobic

690
00:41:48,428 --> 00:41:49,277
and she imagines
all kinds of ailments

691
00:41:49,665 --> 00:41:52,161
in order to keep your attention.

692
00:42:33,165 --> 00:42:35,355
Oh, George.
The hollyhock, it's blue, look!

693
00:42:35,359 --> 00:42:37,000
Shh.

694
00:42:39,844 --> 00:42:40,987
But that's impossible.

695
00:42:41,643 --> 00:42:43,499
The hollyhock on the wallpaper
turned blue?

696
00:42:44,407 --> 00:42:45,537
Well, that's what Mary said.

697
00:42:46,095 --> 00:42:49,962
By the time they'd calmed her down
and got some sense out of her,

698
00:42:49,968 --> 00:42:52,101
the hollyhock was pink.

699
00:42:52,105 --> 00:42:56,587
Which particular hollyhock
are we talking about?

700
00:42:56,594 --> 00:42:58,420
No, it was blue!
I saw it turning blue!

701
00:43:00,173 --> 00:43:02,499
I am in danger!
Just calm down.

702
00:43:03,455 --> 00:43:18,130
Shh. Come on.

703
00:43:21,588 --> 00:43:22,817
You mean she imagined it?

704
00:43:23,100 --> 00:43:23,307
That's what people thought.

705
00:43:25,017 --> 00:43:26,935
But she didn't think so.

706
00:43:26,939 --> 00:43:29,741
And neither do I, not now.

707
00:43:29,746 --> 00:43:32,858
I think someone was trying
to scare that woman to death.

708
00:43:32,864 --> 00:43:34,206
What type of wallpaper was it?

709
00:43:34,552 --> 00:43:36,289
Well, that evening, Sir Henry,

710
00:43:36,292 --> 00:43:39,115
I tried to find out
exactly where it was from.

711
00:43:39,119 --> 00:43:41,076
I designed it, Miss Marple.

712
00:43:41,079 --> 00:43:43,375
Yes, my sister
was almost bed-bound last summer

713
00:43:43,380 --> 00:43:44,695
and didn't want to miss the garden,

714
00:43:45,222 --> 00:43:47,936
so had it brought into her room,
as it were.

715
00:43:47,941 --> 00:43:49,994
And George commissioned me
to design a wallpaper

716
00:43:49,999 --> 00:43:51,228
from the flowers in the garden.

717
00:43:51,430 --> 00:43:54,083
He was very specific
about the flowers that he wanted.

718
00:43:54,087 --> 00:43:55,458
It's very adventurous.

719
00:43:55,460 --> 00:43:57,873
Primroses and buttercups
and foxgloves and hollyhocks,

720
00:43:57,877 --> 00:43:59,517
all blooming together.

721
00:43:59,521 --> 00:44:02,767
I call it blooming madness.
Thank you, Hester.

722
00:44:02,772 --> 00:44:10,814
My pleasure, Philippa.

723
00:44:10,829 --> 00:44:11,997
This is Susan Carstairs

724
00:44:12,234 --> 00:44:12,567
putting the
frighteners on her majesty upstairs.

725
00:44:14,157 --> 00:44:16,714
I don't know how,
but I'm sure of it.

726
00:44:16,720 --> 00:44:18,558
The previous nurse?

727
00:44:18,636 --> 00:44:20,214
What makes you say that?

728
00:44:20,974 --> 00:44:23,463
I didn't want to say this
in front of Philippa, because...

729
00:44:24,489 --> 00:44:26,923
I think she still holds a candle for
George Pritchard,

730
00:44:26,929 --> 00:44:27,938
don't you, Caro?

731
00:44:27,940 --> 00:44:29,014
I do.

732
00:44:29,016 --> 00:44:32,156
But Nurse Carstairs definitely
left Summerleigh under a cloud.

733
00:44:32,162 --> 00:44:35,772
What sort of cloud?
A saucy cloud.

734
00:44:35,781 --> 00:44:37,082
I was hanging around here one night.

735
00:44:37,184 --> 00:44:38,671
I wasn't being nosy, Jane,

736
00:44:39,010 --> 00:44:41,606
but let's say there was a bit
of design to my hanging around

737
00:44:41,610 --> 00:44:43,490
because I had suspicions.

738
00:44:43,494 --> 00:44:47,678
That's it.

739
00:44:47,685 --> 00:44:49,757
And... swing.

740
00:44:51,728 --> 00:44:53,026
Again.

741
00:44:55,695 --> 00:44:57,213
And... swing.

742
00:45:00,041 --> 00:45:01,128
Again.

743
00:45:02,445 --> 00:45:03,485
Swing

744
00:45:04,667 --> 00:45:05,831
Again.

745
00:45:06,938 --> 00:45:07,765
Swing

746
00:45:11,872 --> 00:45:13,552
She left soon afterwards, overnight.

747
00:45:15,003 --> 00:45:15,258
I think she saw George
as a main chance,

748
00:45:16,928 --> 00:45:19,079
saw herself
as the second Mrs Pritchard.

749
00:45:19,293 --> 00:45:22,293
And when George realised that,
he got rid of her.

750
00:45:22,297 --> 00:45:25,612
Did Mary know of the affair?
I don't know.

751
00:45:25,618 --> 00:45:28,094
But I reckon Susan Carstairs herself
was Zarida

752
00:45:28,693 --> 00:45:37,573
and scaring George's wife
is her way of getting revenge.

753
00:45:38,895 --> 00:45:41,516
I love nature, don't you?

754
00:45:41,519 --> 00:45:42,947
I love the bareness of the trees.

755
00:45:46,083 --> 00:45:46,799
All right. Thank you, children.

756
00:45:47,307 --> 00:45:48,255
If you could just
go with the constable now.

757
00:45:49,769 --> 00:45:52,341
Come on now. Let's get you home.

758
00:45:52,345 --> 00:45:53,900
So, this is where
he was thrown in the river.

759
00:45:54,595 --> 00:45:56,273
I wonder if he was killed here,
as well.

760
00:45:56,798 --> 00:45:59,233
Or took his own life.

761
00:45:59,237 --> 00:46:01,402
No, this is murder, Miss Marple,
clear as day.

762
00:46:01,815 --> 00:46:03,424
I mean there's no note.
Where's the note?

763
00:46:03,644 --> 00:46:07,235
And I've seen murder got up
to look like suicide many times.

764
00:46:07,242 --> 00:46:09,617
When people take their own lives,
Inspector,

765
00:46:09,622 --> 00:46:12,663
sometimes they try and do it
in a significant place.

766
00:46:12,668 --> 00:46:15,945
What's significant about here
to Eddie Seward?

767
00:46:15,949 --> 00:46:17,634
It's beautiful.

768
00:46:17,637 --> 00:46:19,757
And he told me that coming through
the tunnel of his alcoholism

769
00:46:20,919 --> 00:46:23,615
he was taking great strength
from nature,

770
00:46:24,201 --> 00:46:26,306
that he was finding God in it.

771
00:46:26,310 --> 00:46:28,389
Yes, yes. If he was committing suicide,

772
00:46:28,606 --> 00:46:31,415
why didn't we find him
hanging from that tree?

773
00:46:31,419 --> 00:46:36,051
Because the tie hadn't supported
his weight for long, had torn,

774
00:46:36,060 --> 00:46:38,125
and the body had fallen
from where it was hanging.

775
00:46:38,591 --> 00:46:40,715
So he fell in the river
and just floated downstream?

776
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,627
That's a wonderful explanation.
Can you think of another?

777
00:46:43,631 --> 00:46:46,871
Yes. His wife killed him
and made it look like suicide.

778
00:46:46,877 --> 00:46:50,713
But what if the scratches on his
neck were not the result of a fight,

779
00:46:50,720 --> 00:46:52,911
but his own hands
trying to save himself?

780
00:46:53,297 --> 00:46:55,993
If he's committing suicide,
why would he try to stop it?

781
00:46:55,998 --> 00:46:58,694
Because, as my friend
Sir Henry Clithering says,

782
00:46:58,699 --> 00:47:01,287
sometimes people
pull out of their suicides.

783
00:47:01,703 --> 00:47:03,994
Inspector, surely you know that.

784
00:47:03,997 --> 00:47:07,766
No, no. I don't buy it.
This is still a major murder case.

785
00:47:07,773 --> 00:47:09,923
Inspector, why are you
no longer working in London?

786
00:47:11,477 --> 00:47:16,183
Why are you down here?

787
00:47:18,915 --> 00:47:22,232
Well, if you know Sir Henry
I imagine you'll find out about it.

788
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:23,136
There was an incident.

789
00:47:25,712 --> 00:47:26,963
Involving drink?

790
00:47:27,820 --> 00:47:28,739
Involving drink, yes.

791
00:47:29,043 --> 00:47:34,269
I was on duty, complaints were made
and I was told to sort myself out.

792
00:47:37,383 --> 00:47:40,641
What was in Eddie's wallet?

793
00:47:40,647 --> 00:47:42,329
Money, a business card
with his club address on it,

794
00:47:43,459 --> 00:47:44,299
tickets for various things.

795
00:47:45,051 --> 00:47:50,106
May I see?

796
00:47:50,114 --> 00:47:52,177
I'm going to go to London
and try to trace his movements

797
00:47:52,238 --> 00:47:52,680
between the time that he checked out
of the drying-out clinic

798
00:47:54,581 --> 00:47:56,780
and the time he came here.

799
00:47:56,783 --> 00:47:58,937
See if he met up with anyone.

800
00:47:58,940 --> 00:48:01,736
Good idea.

801
00:48:02,879 --> 00:48:04,494
Thank you. Um, Inspector, I don't think
it's connected to this,

802
00:48:05,830 --> 00:48:07,058
but I believe that someone
is trying to scare Mary Pritchard.

803
00:48:09,863 --> 00:48:12,588
Perhaps you... It wouldn't take much
to set that woman off, Miss Marple.

804
00:48:12,593 --> 00:48:13,111
Isnt it?

805
00:48:13,112 --> 00:48:15,825
And I agree.
I don't think it is connected.

806
00:48:15,830 --> 00:48:32,362
Magical flowers. I mean, honestly.

807
00:48:32,394 --> 00:48:41,816
Hello.

808
00:48:44,957 --> 00:48:45,272
What's wrong?

809
00:48:46,693 --> 00:48:46,838
Susan Carstairs.

810
00:48:49,411 --> 00:48:50,652
You've slept with her
since I've lived here.

811
00:48:51,942 --> 00:48:54,402
That's not true.
You were seen, George, don't lie.

812
00:48:55,739 --> 00:48:58,140
Why? Do you not love me enough?

813
00:48:58,412 --> 00:48:59,709
Of course I love you.

814
00:48:59,967 --> 00:49:03,700
Then why? Are we not risking enough
for each other, George?

815
00:49:03,706 --> 00:49:05,684
I did it because...

816
00:49:06,662 --> 00:49:08,907
Because she was there.

817
00:49:08,910 --> 00:49:11,790
She was there, and you're not,
not like that.

818
00:49:13,736 --> 00:49:15,182
I want to be with you,
but you won't let me.

819
00:49:16,289 --> 00:49:18,872
We talk and talk in circles about how
much we want to be together, but...

820
00:49:21,306 --> 00:49:23,728
..you never show
that you really want me.

821
00:49:23,733 --> 00:49:32,906
It's always meeting like this.

822
00:49:32,922 --> 00:49:36,269
I love you.

823
00:49:36,274 --> 00:49:36,973
I love YOU.

824
00:49:39,885 --> 00:49:40,528
I'm so sorry.

825
00:49:42,419 --> 00:49:50,862
I'd do anything for you.
You know that, don't you?

826
00:50:07,028 --> 00:50:07,802
- Hello.
- Oh, hello.

827
00:50:08,669 --> 00:50:09,171
Is that the Fettiplace auction house?

828
00:50:12,324 --> 00:50:15,695
So do you think I should go
to the police, Reverend Milewater?

829
00:50:15,701 --> 00:50:17,577
Do you think I should
tell them about Dr Frayn

830
00:50:17,812 --> 00:50:24,754
and how he's failing in his
hypocritical duties? Hippocratic!

831
00:50:25,547 --> 00:50:27,774
I think it's theft, Miss Marple,
don't you?

832
00:50:28,872 --> 00:50:31,377
Charging them all this money
for nothing but water.

833
00:50:32,299 --> 00:50:33,376
Don't be so stupid, Philippa.

834
00:50:33,874 --> 00:50:37,198
It's 'Hippocratic', after
Hippocrates, the Greek physician.

835
00:50:37,204 --> 00:50:39,736
Not 'hypocritic'...

836
00:50:39,739 --> 00:50:45,018
..after everyone in this village.

837
00:50:45,028 --> 00:50:47,584
He won't be the first doctor to
prescribe a placebo for a patient.

838
00:50:49,211 --> 00:50:49,942
And your sister feels better
after the treatment,

839
00:50:51,458 --> 00:50:52,480
doesn't she, Philippa?

840
00:50:52,581 --> 00:50:56,876
It's just deceitful. When I was
in the air force...

841
00:50:56,884 --> 00:50:59,409
Oh, here we go.

842
00:50:59,414 --> 00:51:06,664
Back when you were in the air force
when you met George...

843
00:51:06,675 --> 00:51:11,472
..when you fell in love with him.

844
00:51:14,650 --> 00:51:16,026
During the war there was this girl,
Miss Marple.

845
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:19,392
She used to do this placebo thing
with the black market.

846
00:51:25,061 --> 00:51:30,327
She'd water down perfumes
and whisky and things...

847
00:51:31,146 --> 00:51:33,872
..pass off poor-quality nylons
for top brands.

848
00:51:35,786 --> 00:51:37,434
We used to call her 'the wasp'

849
00:51:38,276 --> 00:51:39,922
because you'd get stung
if you went near her.

850
00:51:40,620 --> 00:51:43,753
She had this obsession with money,

851
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:47,226
this voracious greed for it and...

852
00:51:48,353 --> 00:51:49,992
I think Dr Frayn is the same.

853
00:51:49,995 --> 00:51:53,164
And I think he should be drummed out
of the medical profession

854
00:51:53,705 --> 00:51:56,333
like the wasp was drummed out
of the services.

855
00:51:56,660 --> 00:52:01,045
Now, that looks good.
Oh, it is, and it's not for you.

856
00:52:01,052 --> 00:52:09,328
It's to cheer Mary up.

857
00:52:09,342 --> 00:52:12,777
So what would the police do
if I went and complained?

858
00:52:13,235 --> 00:52:14,863
Very little, I'm afraid.

859
00:52:22,393 --> 00:52:27,706
During the drinks yesterday,
did you go upstairs and talk to Mary?

860
00:52:28,776 --> 00:52:29,412
You see everything, Jane, don't you?

861
00:52:32,098 --> 00:52:33,782
Well, I thought
if I might speak to her alone,

862
00:52:34,304 --> 00:52:36,343
use what remains
of the Milewater charm,

863
00:52:37,927 --> 00:52:41,669
I could bring her round
to giving us some money.

864
00:52:41,674 --> 00:52:46,028
And?
Lewis got there before me.

865
00:52:46,035 --> 00:52:47,818
Well, if you don't give me the money,

866
00:52:48,146 --> 00:52:49,455
they're going to come back
to the village.

867
00:52:49,515 --> 00:52:51,692
They'll hurt Philippa,
they'll hurt our children.

868
00:52:52,329 --> 00:52:54,171
They're going
to take everything we've got.

869
00:52:54,174 --> 00:52:58,483
Everything in that cottage
is owned by George and me!

870
00:52:58,490 --> 00:53:01,644
You haven't earned a penny
in your life!

871
00:53:01,651 --> 00:53:04,474
The only way you'll be worth
anything is if George and I die.

872
00:53:04,878 --> 00:53:08,699
You know, Mary...
you are an evil bitch!

873
00:53:10,956 --> 00:53:14,541
Please go now! George?
I'm going, I'm going.

874
00:53:14,547 --> 00:53:19,980
George!

875
00:53:19,988 --> 00:53:23,213
Does he need money because
of his gambling on the horses?

876
00:53:23,218 --> 00:53:23,676
I imagine so.

877
00:53:25,047 --> 00:53:28,791
Philippa speaks to me sometimes
about it, how much it worries her.

878
00:53:28,797 --> 00:53:33,535
Look, do you mind if we
just stop here for a moment, Jane?

879
00:53:35,548 --> 00:53:39,528
Just... stop
in this village of mine?

880
00:53:40,184 --> 00:53:43,305
Dermot?

881
00:53:45,473 --> 00:53:49,102
I walk here every day...

882
00:53:51,333 --> 00:53:51,826
Look, I have some work to do
for Sunday.

883
00:53:54,333 --> 00:53:55,550
I really must work.

884
00:53:58,024 --> 00:54:01,251
Maybe you don't see everything,
Jane.

885
00:54:01,257 --> 00:54:02,189
That evening, Sir Henry,

886
00:54:03,225 --> 00:54:05,257
as I stood in the centre of
that quiet, pleasant English village,

887
00:54:06,980 --> 00:54:09,070
I thought of all the tensions

888
00:54:09,074 --> 00:54:13,836
that lay in the foundations
of the lives that lived there.

889
00:54:14,174 --> 00:54:16,197
They'll be back in the morning
demanding money. We haven't got it!

890
00:54:16,201 --> 00:54:17,677
Then we'll get the money!
We haven't got the money!

891
00:54:18,544 --> 00:54:19,601
- We will get the money.
- Where?

892
00:54:19,603 --> 00:54:20,913
I promise.

893
00:54:20,916 --> 00:54:23,863
And I thought of the one woman
who was going to sleep that night

894
00:54:23,868 --> 00:54:25,948
in genuine fear of her life.

895
00:54:26,539 --> 00:54:32,918
Help me. Protection of
the spirits of the wind and the...

896
00:54:32,956 --> 00:54:35,161
But little did I realise how right
she was to be scared...

897
00:54:35,164 --> 00:54:39,116
In my own time.

898
00:54:40,697 --> 00:54:44,086
And please stop ringing me here.

899
00:54:45,167 --> 00:54:53,084
..and how she was
not going to see the morning.

900
00:54:54,337 --> 00:54:54,821
Mary?

901
00:54:55,902 --> 00:54:57,407
Mary?

902
00:55:02,517 --> 00:55:03,256
Oh, no.

903
00:55:04,192 --> 00:55:04,905
No...

904
00:55:11,124 --> 00:55:12,251
George?

905
00:55:12,673 --> 00:55:13,702
What is it?

906
00:55:19,373 --> 00:55:22,324
Look at the geranium, Sir.

907
00:55:29,715 --> 00:55:30,655
There had now been two suspicious
deaths within 36 hours, you see?

908
00:55:34,708 --> 00:55:35,196
As news of Mary's death
raced through the village

909
00:55:37,726 --> 00:55:46,900
people found themselves
asking terrible questions.

910
00:55:47,097 --> 00:55:49,508
Well...

911
00:55:49,512 --> 00:55:50,505
Is it true?

912
00:55:52,196 --> 00:55:53,503
Is she dead?

913
00:55:55,678 --> 00:55:56,433
Yes

914
00:55:57,435 --> 00:55:58,299
How?

915
00:55:59,918 --> 00:56:01,856
They think she died of shock.

916
00:56:02,401 --> 00:56:03,296
People don't die of shock, George.

917
00:56:04,576 --> 00:56:07,535
Was it you?

918
00:56:09,069 --> 00:56:10,174
Did you kill her?

919
00:56:10,176 --> 00:56:10,807
- Did I kill your wife? - Yes.

920
00:56:12,585 --> 00:56:14,313
How can you say that to me?

921
00:56:14,317 --> 00:56:17,636
How can you?

922
00:56:17,643 --> 00:56:34,281
Go away! Go away!

923
00:56:37,987 --> 00:56:39,147
It was definitely blue, Jane,
despite what George has said.

924
00:56:41,128 --> 00:56:41,268
But how?

925
00:56:42,058 --> 00:56:51,661
It's not damaged or anything,
it's just wallpaper.

926
00:56:51,676 --> 00:56:53,594
Everyone in Little Ambrose was thrown

927
00:56:53,598 --> 00:56:55,102
by the events of that morning,
Sir Henry, even Nurse Copling.

928
00:56:58,051 --> 00:57:00,369
What am I going to do, Hester?
You'll be alright.

929
00:57:00,373 --> 00:57:02,071
But this will
make me unemployed again.

930
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:04,735
I thought it was going
to be a permanent position.

931
00:57:04,801 --> 00:57:07,094
I know Mrs Pritchard was difficult,

932
00:57:07,098 --> 00:57:09,329
but I felt at home here,
I was making friends.

933
00:57:09,925 --> 00:57:14,710
You've still got those friends,
Caro. We're not going to go away.

934
00:57:14,717 --> 00:57:17,433
Nursing must be
a very peripatetic kind of life,

935
00:57:17,437 --> 00:57:18,567
quite lonely at times.

936
00:57:19,509 --> 00:57:21,960
Have you been in it long?

937
00:57:21,964 --> 00:57:23,554
Since the war,

938
00:57:23,557 --> 00:57:25,384
when we all did our bit.

939
00:57:25,708 --> 00:57:31,106
I served over at Duxford.
And then...

940
00:57:31,115 --> 00:57:32,926
Reverend, you don't look very well.

941
00:57:33,194 --> 00:57:33,850
Would you like to sit down?

942
00:57:34,544 --> 00:57:37,493
- I'm sorry. - Can I get you a glass of water?
- No, I'll do it.

943
00:57:39,425 --> 00:57:41,587
It must be something I ate.

944
00:57:42,903 --> 00:57:44,289
Where are your family, Caro?

945
00:57:45,059 --> 00:57:45,747
I don't have any, Miss Marple.

946
00:57:46,628 --> 00:57:54,420
Oh. Have you a gentleman friend?
No.

947
00:57:54,436 --> 00:57:56,319
Mr Pritchard...

948
00:57:56,322 --> 00:57:56,704
..tried the same thing with me

949
00:57:57,481 --> 00:58:00,129
as he did with Nurse Carstairs,
Miss Marple.

950
00:58:00,811 --> 00:58:02,035
He tried to teach me a golf swing,

951
00:58:02,037 --> 00:58:03,834
but I wouldn't do it,
I wouldn't do what he wanted.

952
00:58:04,368 --> 00:58:05,529
No.

953
00:58:05,531 --> 00:58:08,620
And if you ask me,

954
00:58:08,625 --> 00:58:09,823
I think he's still in touch
with Susan Carstairs.

955
00:58:10,292 --> 00:58:12,379
I heard them
talking on the telephone once.

956
00:58:12,930 --> 00:58:14,394
I think George Pritchard's
a bad man.

957
00:58:16,156 --> 00:58:19,219
Mr Edward Seward has been
staying at the club off and on,

958
00:58:19,830 --> 00:58:22,260
but he wasn't here on Thursday night.

959
00:58:22,264 --> 00:58:26,820
When was he last here?
Oh. Two, three weeks ago.

960
00:58:26,828 --> 00:58:33,292
Let's see.

961
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:37,110
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Go back, go back.

962
00:58:38,909 --> 00:58:39,075
What's that name?

963
00:58:40,251 --> 00:58:41,800
That is Mr George Pritchard, Sir.

964
00:58:43,534 --> 00:58:46,611
Is he a member here, too?
Yes.

965
00:58:48,053 --> 00:58:49,529
I was never close to him,
I didn't like him.

966
00:58:50,345 --> 00:58:51,634
He was a hopeless alcoholic
and a thug around women.

967
00:58:53,297 --> 00:58:54,936
This man that you weren't close to

968
00:58:54,939 --> 00:58:57,698
lent you half a million pounds
three years ago

969
00:58:57,703 --> 00:59:00,788
for your airline to develop haulage
routes into Italy and Greece,

970
00:59:00,794 --> 00:59:05,118
a venture that was not successful.

971
00:59:05,124 --> 00:59:09,068
Yes, but I paid Eddie Seward back.
Every farthing.

972
00:59:09,074 --> 00:59:10,363
You'll find that detail in
your documents as well, Inspector.

973
00:59:12,504 --> 00:59:14,659
Where were you the morning
Eddie Seward came to Little Ambrose,

974
00:59:15,148 --> 00:59:16,729
George?

975
00:59:16,732 --> 00:59:19,213
At Summerleigh, like I told you.

976
00:59:19,217 --> 00:59:21,730
But your housekeeper, Hester
Milewater, says that's another lie.

977
00:59:22,545 --> 00:59:23,696
I've had enough of this.
Sit down, Sir.

978
00:59:24,514 --> 00:59:26,794
Look, am I under arrest?
Sit down.

979
00:59:27,047 --> 00:59:29,386
I didn't see Eddie Seward
that morning.

980
00:59:29,390 --> 00:59:31,448
I haven't heard from him
for two years.

981
00:59:31,452 --> 00:59:40,625
I don't know why he was here
or where his wife is.

982
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:43,728
I'm going to have to ask you
to leave, Inspector.

983
00:59:43,733 --> 00:59:44,157
My wife died this morning

984
00:59:45,186 --> 01:00:01,162
and I have some things
that I have to attend to.

985
01:00:07,656 --> 01:00:13,831
About time you arrived.

986
01:00:13,845 --> 01:00:14,074
Yes? Hello?
Oh...

987
01:00:16,325 --> 01:00:17,251
Oh, that's an excellent likeness,
Hazel.

988
01:00:20,936 --> 01:00:21,573
Oh, you have
a very distinctive style.

989
01:00:23,653 --> 01:00:28,189
Yes, people have often said
that about the work, Miss Marple.

990
01:00:28,806 --> 01:00:31,907
And what, if I may ask,
have been your favorite subjects?

991
01:00:32,262 --> 01:00:32,936
Well, I like portraiture,

992
01:00:33,344 --> 01:00:37,256
but my real love is,
well, has always been nature.

993
01:00:37,352 --> 01:00:48,853
I like to think
that you can see God in nature.

994
01:00:48,875 --> 01:00:50,561
Hi, Hes. Got your message.

995
01:00:50,934 --> 01:00:52,072
Why didn't you just
come round to the surgery?

996
01:00:55,318 --> 01:00:58,031
I want an explanation, Jonathan.

997
01:00:58,035 --> 01:00:59,300
You're the one who's been
stealing from the house, aren't you?

998
01:01:01,621 --> 01:01:03,634
The snuff boxes,
the carriage clock, jewellery.

999
01:01:04,425 --> 01:01:05,646
No, not jewellery.

1000
01:01:06,019 --> 01:01:10,138
Why did you do it?
Because that was my parents' stuff.

1001
01:01:10,297 --> 01:01:12,767
Pritchard took advantage
of my father when he was in a fix.

1002
01:01:13,559 --> 01:01:15,252
He drove down the price
on Summerleigh.

1003
01:01:15,817 --> 01:01:17,536
He died with nothing to his name.

1004
01:01:17,677 --> 01:01:19,304
But it's not
yours anymore, Jonathan.

1005
01:01:20,304 --> 01:01:23,584
I want to get money
to marry you, Hes.

1006
01:01:23,591 --> 01:01:24,467
What?

1007
01:01:24,685 --> 01:01:27,021
Well, that's why I put up with
that insufferable woman for so long.

1008
01:01:28,463 --> 01:01:30,299
She was my most lucrative patient,
Hes.

1009
01:01:30,303 --> 01:01:31,714
I don't want money.

1010
01:01:32,135 --> 01:01:34,414
I want you, don't you know that?

1011
01:01:34,824 --> 01:01:37,442
Oh, you must
take all that stuff back

1012
01:01:38,535 --> 01:01:44,553
or that detective will be on to you.

1013
01:01:44,562 --> 01:01:46,397
I thought that place was abandoned.

1014
01:01:47,354 --> 01:01:49,237
It is.
So why is there a light on?

1015
01:01:52,208 --> 01:01:54,849
He found you through one
of your paintings, didn't he, Hazel?

1016
01:01:56,101 --> 01:01:56,665
Who?

1017
01:01:57,369 --> 01:01:59,814
Your husband, Eddie Seward.

1018
01:02:00,213 --> 01:02:01,783
I imagine he'd looked for you
for two years,

1019
01:02:03,446 --> 01:02:06,810
knowing he'd driven you away,
maybe to suicide,

1020
01:02:08,217 --> 01:02:11,978
sinking deeper into his tunnel
of alcohol and guilt.

1021
01:02:13,301 --> 01:02:15,234
And then, quite by chance,

1022
01:02:15,661 --> 01:02:17,811
he recognised one of your paintings
at Fettiplace,

1023
01:02:18,330 --> 01:02:20,489
the art dealers in London.

1024
01:02:20,494 --> 01:02:23,593
Lot 172.

1025
01:02:23,597 --> 01:02:25,566
And even though
you'd changed your name,

1026
01:02:26,118 --> 01:02:34,552
he recognised it was your hand.

1027
01:02:43,804 --> 01:02:46,109
Zarida.

1028
01:02:47,133 --> 01:02:47,914
There's no-one here.

1029
01:02:54,054 --> 01:02:55,343
Jonathan.

1030
01:02:56,770 --> 01:02:57,179
Call the police, Hazel.

1031
01:02:59,392 --> 01:02:59,987
If your husband found you here

1032
01:03:00,896 --> 01:03:04,691
it's only a matter of time
before they do.

1033
01:03:05,095 --> 01:03:33,579
They'll understand, Penelope.

1034
01:03:33,639 --> 01:03:35,224
But who was it?
The former nurse, Susan Carstairs.

1035
01:03:37,156 --> 01:03:37,359
Pritchard's mistress?

1036
01:03:39,168 --> 01:03:40,856
And six months pregnant.

1037
01:03:41,053 --> 01:03:43,510
With George Pritchard's tie
tight around her neck.

1038
01:03:44,061 --> 01:03:47,024
She'd been installed
in the Mill House by George,

1039
01:03:47,178 --> 01:03:49,648
after he made her leave Summerleigh.

1040
01:03:49,909 --> 01:03:54,544
Detective Somerset found evidence
that she had dressed up as Zarida.

1041
01:03:54,551 --> 01:03:57,345
He found Mary's missing jewellery
on her fingers

1042
01:03:58,246 --> 01:04:02,255
and he also found George's
fingerprints all over the place.

1043
01:04:02,809 --> 01:04:04,722
Suddenly
he had three suspicious deaths

1044
01:04:04,873 --> 01:04:07,738
and one missing persons inquiry
on his hands,

1045
01:04:07,967 --> 01:04:11,994
all somehow tangled around
George Pritchard.

1046
01:04:12,001 --> 01:04:14,205
But how? And why?

1047
01:04:14,481 --> 01:04:16,562
I want you to keep everything
you've seen to yourself.

1048
01:04:16,871 --> 01:04:17,933
Can I rely on you both?

1049
01:04:17,935 --> 01:04:20,078
Detective Somerset decided
not to release news

1050
01:04:20,714 --> 01:04:22,730
of Susan Carstairs' death,

1051
01:04:22,733 --> 01:04:26,978
but to have George watched
while he interviewed Hazel,

1052
01:04:26,985 --> 01:04:28,904
who had just rung the police station

1053
01:04:28,907 --> 01:04:31,787
and admitted
she was Penelope Seward -

1054
01:04:31,792 --> 01:04:38,741
news that was already
round the village.

1055
01:04:38,751 --> 01:04:41,535
Philippa? Philippa?

1056
01:04:42,230 --> 01:04:43,250
- What?
- I suppose you've heard about Hazel.

1057
01:04:45,276 --> 01:04:46,844
Oh. Yes, yes.

1058
01:04:48,180 --> 01:04:50,193
Caroline and I were just talking
about it.

1059
01:04:50,431 --> 01:04:51,763
Caroline?
Hello.

1060
01:04:52,199 --> 01:04:55,207
Hello, Miss Marple.

1061
01:04:55,212 --> 01:04:59,641
We think she must have had some
kind of... thing over my sister.

1062
01:05:00,394 --> 01:05:02,021
Or Mrs Pritchard recognised her
as Penelope Seward.

1063
01:05:03,301 --> 01:05:05,365
She recognised her, yes.

1064
01:05:05,521 --> 01:05:10,263
We think she must have...
killed my sister somehow.

1065
01:05:10,270 --> 01:05:13,198
I don't think so.
I don't think Hazel's a murderer.

1066
01:05:14,235 --> 01:05:16,993
Then who's been doing this,
Miss Marple?

1067
01:05:17,716 --> 01:05:22,165
Who else could have
killed these people?

1068
01:05:22,623 --> 01:05:25,151
God teaches us that life is valuable.

1069
01:05:27,510 --> 01:05:28,536
It is not to be wasted.

1070
01:05:30,509 --> 01:05:33,351
God, when he judges Mary's life,

1071
01:05:33,970 --> 01:05:35,787
I fear will judge it to be wasted.

1072
01:05:38,219 --> 01:05:42,619
God asks us to live our lives
in service to Him,

1073
01:05:43,433 --> 01:05:45,339
not dabbling in fancies
and superstitions.

1074
01:05:46,294 --> 01:05:49,438
I'm sorry to say this, Mr Pritchard,

1075
01:05:49,859 --> 01:05:52,060
but God teaches us to live our lives

1076
01:05:52,064 --> 01:05:54,672
so that we can try to be good
to one another.

1077
01:05:55,251 --> 01:05:58,237
Reverend Milewater...
Philippa, sit down.

1078
01:05:58,243 --> 01:06:02,665
Human beings should
not be mean and poisonous.

1079
01:06:02,672 --> 01:06:07,065
I think she was murdered.

1080
01:06:09,002 --> 01:06:09,985
Philippa, we should leave.

1081
01:06:09,986 --> 01:06:10,756
No, George. She was murdered
by that woman, I know she was.

1082
01:06:13,268 --> 01:06:15,326
- Let's leave.
- I saw her.

1083
01:06:15,330 --> 01:06:18,179
Early yesterday morning
coming back from Summerleigh.

1084
01:06:18,183 --> 01:06:19,796
Why would Hazel want to murder Mary?

1085
01:06:20,179 --> 01:06:23,617
Because you were having an affair
with her, George.

1086
01:06:23,623 --> 01:06:26,662
Did you think
I wouldn't notice that?

1087
01:06:26,668 --> 01:06:30,564
Did you think I wouldn't see?

1088
01:06:32,029 --> 01:06:34,999
And she murdered her husband, too...

1089
01:06:36,858 --> 01:06:37,822
..because the day he died
she was late at the golf club.

1090
01:06:39,914 --> 01:06:40,873
Sorry. Sorry I'm late.

1091
01:06:41,856 --> 01:06:44,432
Where had she been if not killing
him so she could be with you?

1092
01:06:44,739 --> 01:06:47,107
Where had she been?

1093
01:06:47,111 --> 01:06:49,697
I did see my husband that morning.

1094
01:06:49,700 --> 01:06:50,433
He asked me to accept him back.

1095
01:06:51,274 --> 01:06:53,249
Where did this take place?
Here.

1096
01:06:53,759 --> 01:06:56,586
He just turned up
and said he'd changed.

1097
01:06:56,591 --> 01:06:58,829
And that he loved me.

1098
01:06:58,832 --> 01:07:00,816
And that he'd always loved me.

1099
01:07:01,682 --> 01:07:02,885
But I told him
I would never go back to him.

1100
01:07:03,377 --> 01:07:04,870
Never go back to him.

1101
01:07:05,553 --> 01:07:07,368
Are you in on it, too, George?

1102
01:07:08,515 --> 01:07:09,580
Because you're free
to marry her now, aren't you?

1103
01:07:09,586 --> 01:07:11,080
Was that always your plan?
To let this...

1104
01:07:11,684 --> 01:07:13,633
..this wasp come and live
in this happy place

1105
01:07:13,997 --> 01:07:14,950
and then let her sting?

1106
01:07:14,952 --> 01:07:16,755
Shut up, Philippa!

1107
01:07:16,759 --> 01:07:19,027
Before you say something
you'll really regret.

1108
01:07:19,031 --> 01:07:20,626
Did Pritchard follow your husband?
No.

1109
01:07:21,420 --> 01:07:23,362
How do you know?
Were you with him the whole time?

1110
01:07:23,711 --> 01:07:25,950
George told me he didn't
and I have faith in him.

1111
01:07:25,954 --> 01:07:28,305
Even though you didn't know about
his affair with Susan Carstairs.

1112
01:07:28,309 --> 01:07:31,824
I have faith in him.
The pregnant Susan Carstairs.

1113
01:07:31,831 --> 01:07:34,417
Who was found strangled
yesterday evening

1114
01:07:34,421 --> 01:07:37,230
with one of George Pritchard's ties.

1115
01:07:37,234 --> 01:07:39,637
Don't you talk to her like that.
Is that the truth, Pritchard?

1116
01:07:40,267 --> 01:07:41,896
What are you going to do?
Write a book?

1117
01:07:42,519 --> 01:07:43,508
Because if you do
it will take you 20 years.

1118
01:07:44,367 --> 01:07:47,435
What page are you on
of your current magnum opus?

1119
01:07:47,439 --> 01:07:49,780
Every talent that you've had,
every break,

1120
01:07:49,785 --> 01:07:55,468
you've wasted it or gambled it away.

1121
01:07:56,625 --> 01:08:00,245
Well, at least I had the good sense
to marry the decent sister,

1122
01:08:00,251 --> 01:08:00,828
George.

1123
01:08:02,313 --> 01:08:03,637
What did you say?
You heard me!

1124
01:08:03,639 --> 01:08:05,506
That's enough. You've spent
your entire life leeching off me!

1125
01:08:07,108 --> 01:08:09,953
I've lent you money,
I've supported you

1126
01:08:09,959 --> 01:08:11,960
and you've resented it all!

1127
01:08:11,962 --> 01:08:16,311
All of it!

1128
01:08:16,319 --> 01:08:17,919
I'm so sorry.

1129
01:08:18,518 --> 01:08:19,061
Everyone, I'm...

1130
01:08:21,228 --> 01:08:30,443
..I'm sorry.

1131
01:08:34,448 --> 01:08:35,506
I have to speak to the police.

1132
01:08:36,605 --> 01:08:37,067
You're in no state
to speak to anyone, Dermot.

1133
01:08:39,890 --> 01:08:42,078
It's just something that I ate.

1134
01:08:42,082 --> 01:08:45,314
But Philippa,
she's got it all wrong.

1135
01:08:45,319 --> 01:08:46,076
What?

1136
01:08:46,332 --> 01:08:49,166
The morning Mary was found dead,

1137
01:08:49,181 --> 01:08:52,337
Hazel was not on her way back
from Summerleigh.

1138
01:08:52,781 --> 01:08:55,687
She was coming to see me.

1139
01:08:56,364 --> 01:08:58,901
Hazel is a devout woman.

1140
01:08:59,968 --> 01:09:01,588
She takes the vows of marriage
very seriously.

1141
01:09:03,282 --> 01:09:07,621
She was conflicted
about her marriage and George's.

1142
01:09:09,799 --> 01:09:12,479
Though that morning
she was very distressed,

1143
01:09:13,673 --> 01:09:17,593
having heard of George's affair
with Nurse Carstairs.

1144
01:09:17,738 --> 01:09:20,276
She didn't know whether
she could trust him anymore.

1145
01:09:20,478 --> 01:09:22,601
She loved him so much...

1146
01:09:22,825 --> 01:09:28,097
..and he had saved her.

1147
01:09:29,113 --> 01:09:32,840
So much sin, Jane.

1148
01:09:32,846 --> 01:09:35,058
And in such a small place as this.

1149
01:09:38,593 --> 01:09:39,994
Where are you going?

1150
01:09:40,778 --> 01:09:41,435
To find you.

1151
01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:44,934
Are you lying again?

1152
01:09:47,483 --> 01:09:49,172
Before the police arrive, I need
to hear the truth from you, George.

1153
01:09:50,729 --> 01:09:51,409
You painted the wallpaper,
you designed it, you...

1154
01:09:53,669 --> 01:09:56,582
..you did some sort of trick.
Did you kill Mary and Eddie?

1155
01:09:56,587 --> 01:09:59,189
You just had to be a bit
more patient, that's all.

1156
01:09:59,347 --> 01:10:01,183
I would've come to you,
I would've taken care of you.

1157
01:10:01,186 --> 01:10:02,484
I promised I would.

1158
01:10:02,929 --> 01:10:05,667
I'd have found the strength
to leave Mary.

1159
01:10:05,672 --> 01:10:07,836
Did you kill Susan Carstairs?

1160
01:10:08,588 --> 01:10:09,154
What?

1161
01:10:09,361 --> 01:10:11,193
They know she was Zarida.

1162
01:10:11,860 --> 01:10:19,065
Just tell the truth!

1163
01:10:19,082 --> 01:10:20,836
Darling, let's leave, let's go.

1164
01:10:22,342 --> 01:10:22,909
Let's go.
Don't hurt me, George!

1165
01:10:24,867 --> 01:10:26,971
Come on. Come on!
Get your hand off me!

1166
01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:34,774
George!

1167
01:10:34,788 --> 01:10:37,788
He made a full confession,
didn't he? Yes.

1168
01:10:38,107 --> 01:10:38,322
That he'd killed all three -

1169
01:10:39,661 --> 01:10:42,983
Eddie, Mary
and Susan Carstairs herself,

1170
01:10:42,988 --> 01:10:46,772
the blackmailer who was trying to
ruin him unless he made her his wife.

1171
01:10:46,779 --> 01:10:49,618
But you weren't convinced.

1172
01:10:49,623 --> 01:10:53,509
On the surface, of course,
his confession had to be true.

1173
01:10:53,515 --> 01:10:56,960
But the only reason for it
to be false was if he were...

1174
01:10:57,940 --> 01:10:59,565
..protecting Hazel.

1175
01:10:59,568 --> 01:11:03,172
Yes. He was 'taking the fall',
as they say in American books,

1176
01:11:03,177 --> 01:11:05,607
for the one woman he really loved.

1177
01:11:05,612 --> 01:11:07,700
George Arthur Pritchard.

1178
01:11:07,703 --> 01:11:09,934
You are charged
with the wilful murders

1179
01:11:10,179 --> 01:11:12,703
of Edward St John Hillier Seward,
Mary...

1180
01:11:13,401 --> 01:11:16,374
But suddenly this morning
I knew I'd been wrong

1181
01:11:16,379 --> 01:11:19,010
and that I had to stop the hearing

1182
01:11:19,015 --> 01:11:20,956
because, Henry,
the truth of these murders

1183
01:11:20,959 --> 01:11:22,906
is quite extraordinary.

1184
01:11:22,910 --> 01:11:26,239
Do you plead guilty or not guilty?

1185
01:11:26,244 --> 01:11:27,784
Guilty.

1186
01:11:27,786 --> 01:11:28,985
Yes, yes!

1187
01:11:29,299 --> 01:11:31,090
Please inform Mr Justice Carmichael

1188
01:11:32,497 --> 01:11:34,067
that some new evidence
has just come to light

1189
01:11:34,885 --> 01:11:38,636
which has a strong bearing
on the case he's hearing.

1190
01:11:38,643 --> 01:11:41,061
Mrs Challinor's knitting box?

1191
01:11:41,065 --> 01:11:43,988
That's right, My Lord.
Sir Henry understood the allusion.

1192
01:11:45,126 --> 01:11:46,411
Did he?

1193
01:11:46,529 --> 01:11:51,142
And the strand of wool
that seemed most knotted to me,

1194
01:11:51,458 --> 01:11:53,770
that was the key to untangling
all the half-knitted jumpers

1195
01:11:54,247 --> 01:11:57,527
of Mrs Challinor's grandchildren...

1196
01:11:58,085 --> 01:12:00,663
Just pull your strand, Miss Marple.
We're waiting.

1197
01:12:00,667 --> 01:12:03,704
...was if you were planning
to kill someone, My Lord,

1198
01:12:04,754 --> 01:12:07,170
would you trust
to scaring them to death?

1199
01:12:07,656 --> 01:12:10,968
Wouldn't you be better making
a more secure plan than that,

1200
01:12:10,973 --> 01:12:12,926
like poisoning them?

1201
01:12:13,086 --> 01:12:15,520
Are you suggesting
that Mary Pritchard was poisoned,

1202
01:12:15,524 --> 01:12:16,947
rather than scared to death?

1203
01:12:17,338 --> 01:12:19,717
Undoubtedly.

1204
01:12:19,721 --> 01:12:23,794
By her husband?
No. No.

1205
01:12:23,803 --> 01:12:25,363
George Pritchard
has admitted to these crimes

1206
01:12:26,100 --> 01:12:29,097
because he thinks
he's protecting the woman he loves.

1207
01:12:30,312 --> 01:12:33,736
Of all the seven deadly sins,
My Lord,

1208
01:12:33,742 --> 01:12:35,838
George Pritchard is, I think, vanity,

1209
01:12:36,884 --> 01:12:39,186
the sin from which
so many others arise.

1210
01:12:39,993 --> 01:12:43,251
It's led him into foolish
relationships with other women

1211
01:12:43,754 --> 01:12:46,525
and led, I think,
to the gluttony of his wife,

1212
01:12:47,312 --> 01:12:49,670
who, faced
with a philandering husband,

1213
01:12:49,881 --> 01:12:54,407
took to her bed in order to maintain
some sort of hold over him.

1214
01:12:54,414 --> 01:12:58,062
No-one took me seriously
and it's about time you all started.

1215
01:12:58,069 --> 01:13:01,906
And it also led
to the dreadful wrath

1216
01:13:01,912 --> 01:13:04,287
of the woman
he spurned all those years ago

1217
01:13:04,500 --> 01:13:10,983
to go off with her prettier sister.

1218
01:13:10,993 --> 01:13:13,847
When Reverend Milewater became ill,

1219
01:13:13,851 --> 01:13:15,229
he said,
'It was just something I ate'.

1220
01:13:18,071 --> 01:13:19,523
And he was right,
wasn't he, Philippa?

1221
01:13:19,899 --> 01:13:21,866
He'd eaten something
you'd prepared for Mary.

1222
01:13:22,252 --> 01:13:26,424
Now that looks good.
Oh, it is, and it's not for you.

1223
01:13:26,431 --> 01:13:32,016
It's to cheer Mary up.

1224
01:13:32,026 --> 01:13:35,390
You'd been poisoning her for years,
hadn't you?

1225
01:13:35,639 --> 01:13:35,937
Sick...

1226
01:13:36,722 --> 01:13:39,187
Day after day,
dish after dish.

1227
01:13:40,590 --> 01:13:41,157
Making life hell
for the sister who ruined your dream

1228
01:13:42,357 --> 01:13:44,598
of marrying the handsome young pilot

1229
01:13:44,697 --> 01:13:48,319
you loved more
than anyone else in the world.

1230
01:13:48,324 --> 01:13:53,858
I didn't kill Mary, George.
I just wanted to punish her.

1231
01:13:53,867 --> 01:13:55,847
But someone had worked out
what you were doing,

1232
01:13:56,209 --> 01:13:58,752
hadn't they, Philippa?

1233
01:13:59,223 --> 01:14:00,221
And when Mary died,

1234
01:14:00,223 --> 01:14:01,513
they scared you into thinking
you were responsible...

1235
01:14:03,438 --> 01:14:04,538
Yes.

1236
01:14:04,542 --> 01:14:07,440
..into making desperate accusations
against George and Hazel

1237
01:14:08,712 --> 01:14:11,269
to deflect attention away from you.

1238
01:14:11,274 --> 01:14:14,099
Are you in on it too, George?

1239
01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:16,461
Because you're free to marry her
now, aren't you? Was that your plan?

1240
01:14:16,719 --> 01:14:20,732
She told me they would hang me
for what I'd done.

1241
01:14:20,738 --> 01:14:25,069
And she scared you into getting
rid of all the poison you'd used.

1242
01:14:25,564 --> 01:14:27,676
Didn't you, Caroline?

1243
01:14:29,075 --> 01:14:33,675
Caroline and I were
just talking about it. Caroline?

1244
01:14:35,674 --> 01:14:37,425
My Lord, do you know
how a wasp trap is made? I do.

1245
01:14:40,078 --> 01:14:41,182
Well, it struck me today

1246
01:14:41,913 --> 01:14:46,474
how much cyanide of potassium
crystals resemble smelling salts.

1247
01:14:47,128 --> 01:14:47,899
What do you mean?

1248
01:14:47,900 --> 01:14:50,628
I suggest, My Lord,

1249
01:14:51,195 --> 01:14:53,729
that Caroline Copling
made Mary desperately anxious

1250
01:14:54,756 --> 01:15:03,069
through her performance
as Zarida the fortune-teller.

1251
01:15:03,085 --> 01:15:05,282
And on the night of Mary's death,

1252
01:15:05,285 --> 01:15:07,026
Caroline had swapped the
smelling salts for cyanide crystals.

1253
01:15:09,926 --> 01:15:15,057
Because it was the cyanide
that killed Mary Pritchard.

1254
01:15:15,064 --> 01:15:16,833
On discovery of Mary's body,

1255
01:15:16,985 --> 01:15:19,507
Caroline Copling would have
had to have acted quickly

1256
01:15:20,911 --> 01:15:22,103
in the few moments she had
in the room alone.

1257
01:15:22,105 --> 01:15:24,372
Using the smelling salts
she turned the geranium blue.

1258
01:15:24,376 --> 01:15:33,986
She then returned them
and removed the cyanide crystals.

1259
01:15:34,426 --> 01:15:36,800
But how did the flowers turn blue?

1260
01:15:37,440 --> 01:15:39,213
Well, My Lord,
smelling salts are alkaline,

1261
01:15:39,852 --> 01:15:42,925
and I think a nurse
with a bedridden patient

1262
01:15:42,931 --> 01:15:45,435
uses litmus paper, don't they,

1263
01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:47,912
for those little tests they do

1264
01:15:47,917 --> 01:15:54,322
where blue paper turns red with acid,
and vice versa with alkalines.

1265
01:15:54,332 --> 01:15:55,721
How ingenious, then,

1266
01:15:55,869 --> 01:16:00,317
to paste red litmus paper
over a red flower,

1267
01:16:00,926 --> 01:16:02,336
near to the bed, of course,

1268
01:16:02,521 --> 01:16:04,867
where she knew
Mary would use her salts

1269
01:16:05,175 --> 01:16:08,832
and the strong ammonia
would turn the flower blue.

1270
01:16:09,253 --> 01:16:12,639
And then remove the litmus paper
afterwards...

1271
01:16:12,643 --> 01:16:15,726
..knowing it wouldn't
bear close scrutiny.

1272
01:16:17,379 --> 01:16:19,486
Why? Why would I want
to kill Mary Pritchard?

1273
01:16:21,302 --> 01:16:23,186
Because I think you knew the
Pritchards from before, didn't you,

1274
01:16:23,575 --> 01:16:26,571
when you were in the air force?

1275
01:16:26,575 --> 01:16:29,322
I learnt my trade during the war,
you know,

1276
01:16:29,326 --> 01:16:30,378
when we all had to do our bit.

1277
01:16:30,379 --> 01:16:32,205
I served over at Duxford.

1278
01:16:32,209 --> 01:16:34,372
And seeing that
George was now a millionaire,

1279
01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:37,334
you thought
you'd change your appearance and name

1280
01:16:37,911 --> 01:16:41,614
and come and see
how you could get a piece of it.

1281
01:16:41,620 --> 01:16:46,113
This is nonsense.
Sit down, Miss.

1282
01:16:46,121 --> 01:16:48,700
Thank you, Henry.

1283
01:16:48,861 --> 01:16:52,258
I thought it was odd the way Philippa
used the word 'wasp' in church.

1284
01:16:53,300 --> 01:16:53,974
Was that always your plan?

1285
01:16:54,832 --> 01:16:57,796
To get this... wasp to come
and live in this happy place

1286
01:16:57,801 --> 01:17:00,573
and then let her sting?
- Shut up, Philippa!

1287
01:17:00,580 --> 01:17:04,599
Such an odd term to use when she'd
used it just one day previously

1288
01:17:04,605 --> 01:17:08,161
to describe the girl in the air force
who was in the black market.

1289
01:17:08,167 --> 01:17:09,996
We used to call her 'the wasp'

1290
01:17:09,999 --> 01:17:12,853
because you'd get stung
if you went near her.

1291
01:17:12,858 --> 01:17:16,985
She had this obsession with money.

1292
01:17:17,766 --> 01:17:21,889
And that wasp was you,
wasn't it, Caroline?

1293
01:17:22,431 --> 01:17:23,623
How easy it must have been for you

1294
01:17:24,801 --> 01:17:28,404
to enlist the greedy Susan Carstairs
into your scheme to scare Mary,

1295
01:17:29,784 --> 01:17:31,853
then make it look
as though she was Zarida

1296
01:17:31,856 --> 01:17:40,518
before disposing of her
when she was no longer needed...

1297
01:17:41,707 --> 01:17:46,575
..to further incriminate George
Pritchard in the string of deaths.

1298
01:17:46,584 --> 01:17:47,231
She wanted money.

1299
01:17:48,578 --> 01:17:51,898
She said with Mary dead
and George hanged,

1300
01:17:52,385 --> 01:17:54,537
Lewis and I would inherit the lot.

1301
01:17:56,143 --> 01:17:57,098
And she wanted half of it,

1302
01:17:57,198 --> 01:17:58,623
otherwise she'd tell the police
I'd poisoned her.

1303
01:17:59,644 --> 01:18:03,975
That is a complete lie.
You cannot deny it.

1304
01:18:03,982 --> 01:18:06,655
You said you'd worked hard
and had nothing.

1305
01:18:07,554 --> 01:18:10,435
You deserved it,
you deserved the money.

1306
01:18:11,182 --> 01:18:14,506
Because you are 'envy',
aren't you, Caroline?

1307
01:18:14,512 --> 01:18:17,784
You saw George Pritchard's wealth
and you wanted it for yourself,

1308
01:18:18,473 --> 01:18:25,200
whatever the cost.

1309
01:18:25,211 --> 01:18:28,394
Caroline Copling,
you are being arrested

1310
01:18:28,399 --> 01:18:29,037
for the murder of Mary Pritchard...

1311
01:18:30,930 --> 01:18:32,996
No!
..and Susan Carstairs.

1312
01:18:32,999 --> 01:18:34,302
No! No! No!

1313
01:18:34,304 --> 01:18:38,117
Anything you say will be taken down
and used as evidence against you.

1314
01:18:38,124 --> 01:18:41,359
No! No! No!

1315
01:18:41,365 --> 01:18:43,268
No! No!

1316
01:18:43,271 --> 01:18:44,639
And the murder of Eddie Seward?

1317
01:18:45,222 --> 01:18:50,330
No, Inspector,
that was always suicide.

1318
01:18:50,342 --> 01:19:21,289
The sad end of another love
that curdled into bitterness.

1319
01:19:21,335 --> 01:19:23,259
Well, Jane, I must come
and visit you next time,

1320
01:19:25,158 --> 01:19:25,475
visit the wasp traps.

1321
01:19:27,985 --> 01:19:29,116
It would be lovely to see you.

1322
01:19:29,327 --> 01:19:30,644
Are you alright, Miss Marple?

1323
01:19:30,951 --> 01:19:33,739
Yes, yes. It's just been quite a day.

1324
01:19:33,745 --> 01:19:35,699
Well, as you said to me once, Jane,

1325
01:19:35,703 --> 01:19:38,066
nothing's settled
until it's settled right.

1326
01:19:38,070 --> 01:19:41,116
No. No, it isn't.

1327
01:19:41,123 --> 01:19:43,854
Well...

1328
01:19:44,566 --> 01:19:47,240
Goodbye, Jane.
Goodbye.
