1
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,080
Two-shot on two.

2
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,560
Ten seconds from now.
Starting the two-shot.

3
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,320
We stay on two for the applause.

4
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,760
That's great. Terrific!
It's been great having you with us.

5
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,280
Tell me, before you go,

6
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,640
when can we expect
to see our favorite onscreen detective

7
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,080
in his next Jake Slagle movie?

8
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,760
Well, actually, David, as you know,
that's why I'm in London.

9
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,520
We're starting shooting the next one
right now.

10
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,320
So, I would imagine
that it will be out sometime next year.

11
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:27,920
Oh, well, that's terrific.
We look forward to it.

12
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,400
Mr. Bryan Martin, ladies and gentlemen.

13
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:31,800
Thank you.

14
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:34,880
Ba ck to three.

15
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,120
Right, frame out, Phil.

16
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,000
And take three.

17
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,480
To mention his name
to the criminal community

18
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,840
would be a bit like
waving a fistful of garlic

19
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,040
in front of a starving vampire.

20
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,120
He's looking straight at me.

21
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,280
<i>...here is the key...</i>

22
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,240
- Where is he?
-You're on. You're on now.

23
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:55,280
<i>...the man coming out...</i>

24
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,800
- I don't understand anything here.
-You'll be all right.

25
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,360
When he says your name you go on.

26
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,160
<i>...off-screen detective. Will you welcome...</i>

27
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:02,680
- Oh, that must be me.
-Yes.

28
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,440
<i>Monsieur Hercule Poirot!</i>

29
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,720
Just leave me alone.

30
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:12,480
I shan't forget this.

31
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,800
It's a pleasure, a pleasure to meet you.

32
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,520
Monsieur Poirot, it's a very great privilege

33
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,560
to have you making your television
debut here with us all tonight.

34
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,200
Do you watch much television?
Because you'd like it, you know.

35
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,520
Because it's full of crime

36
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,120
<i>and detection, you know.</i>

37
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,680
<i>And very reassuring,
the good guys always win.</i>

38
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,280
<i>Unlike the news summary
on my clock radio</i>

39
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,000
<i>where the bad guys always seem to win.</i>

40
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,640
<i>- Pretty good, Monsieur Poirot.
Absolutely.</i>

41
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,200
Tell me, have you seen any of Bryan's
Jake Slagle films?

42
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,160
- Who's that?
- Jake Slagle.

43
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,800
- This is Mr. Slagle.
- Well, Bryan. I play a character...

44
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,480
- We have already met, I think.
- Yes, friend.

45
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,480
No, I don't go to the cinema very often,
I'm afraid.

46
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,920
<i>The last cinema I saw was Casablanca.</i>

47
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,680
I was invited to the premier in Antwerp.

48
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,560
In Antwerp? Really?
I didn't know it premiered in Antwerp.

49
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,480
Do you spend much time in Belgium?

50
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,320
No, because there's so little crime.

51
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,960
You know that I'm very patriotic.
I believe in Belgium very profoundly,

52
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,200
but crime is practically nonexistent.

53
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,080
Did you ever nearly
get into anything else at all?

54
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,080
No, not really.

55
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,520
I could've gone into crime
because it's similar as a profession.

56
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,600
It's the same...
it's the other side of the same coin.

57
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,600
Heads or tails?

58
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,880
Oh, crime! No, I think not.

59
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,480
And now it's time
to introduce our next guest.

60
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,120
And our next guest
is going to come as a surprise

61
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,440
not to Monsieur Poirot,
but to Bryan over there

62
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,480
because it's the co-star of his new movie.

63
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,600
<i>Yes, will you welcome, please,
Miss Jane Wilkinson!</i>

64
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:11,480
Hello!

65
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,040
Hello, everybody.

66
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,160
<i>It's so nice to be here.</i>

67
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,360
And so nice to be me.

68
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,200
Do sit down, please.

69
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:28,840
Jane.

70
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,480
- Are you surprised, Bryan?
- Yeah, I'm astounded.

71
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,120
Well, the element of surprise
has always been my forte.

72
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,440
Good word.

73
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,200
But tell me, Bryan. I mean,
how would you describe Jane here?

74
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:50,200
Would you call her unpredictable?
Would you call her irresistible?

75
00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:53,120
Call me anytime.

76
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:55,880
That's weird.

77
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,120
Weird is the word. Even uncanny.

78
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,920
This young lady
looks like your famous co-star, Bryan,

79
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,120
but in fact, ladies and gentlemen,

80
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,280
I'd like you to take another look at...

81
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,560
Just because I never went to high school

82
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,400
you act like
I haven't got a brain in my head.

83
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,400
The star of the Club Carlyle,

84
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,760
<i>Miss Carlotta Adams!</i>

85
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,480
Fantastic! I'll bet that threw him.

86
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:24,720
Thank you.

87
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,400
Ellis, get Bryan on the phone.
I want to talk to him.

88
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,600
Let's have them over here,
that detective and the girl.

89
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:37,880
- For dinner.
- Yes.

90
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,440
- How wonderful.
- Yes.

91
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:45,960
Got it!

92
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,080
- Hello, Jane.
- Hi.

93
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,320
How good of you all to come.

94
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,280
Jane, this is Hercule Poirot.

95
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,400
- Mr. Poirot, it's an honor.
- Madam. Thank you.

96
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,520
- This is Arthur Hastings.
- I'm delighted to meet you.

97
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,080
It's nice to meet you. Go on in, please.

98
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,560
Thank you. Arthur.

99
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,200
This is my friend Ronny.

100
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,640
- Pleasure.
- I need a drink.

101
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,640
Ellis, will you pour the drinks?

102
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,600
You're talking to an ex-bartender here,
not just a pretty face.

103
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:33,880
I'll do it.

104
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:35,920
I was watching you...

105
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,520
Hey. it's so nice to be here.

106
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,800
And so nice to be you.

107
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,600
Where did you get
that dumb hand gesture?

108
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,280
You'll help... You'll help me? Terrific!

109
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,840
What's the next one to be called?

110
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,160
<i>- Hoses are Dead.
- And I play Rose.</i>

111
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,240
Mr. Poirot, could I steal you for a minute?

112
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,120
- Yes, I...
- Just for one second.

113
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:13,560
Hercule, you're a detective, you know,
I wonder if you could help me.

114
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,120
Oh, it would be an honor.

115
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,400
Well, I've just got to get
rid of my husband.

116
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,000
I'm not very good at
getting rid of husbands.

117
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,800
I think you need a lawyer.

118
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,720
Not a lawyer. I've given up on them.

119
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,880
He just won't give me a divorce.

120
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,200
- And your husband is?
- Lord Edgware.

121
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,040
Yes, you're speaking to Lady Edgware,
if you can believe that.

122
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:42,640
And why is it so important
to be rid of his lordship?

123
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,600
- So I can get married again, why else?
- Yes, why, indeed?

124
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,680
George is a... He's kind of strange.

125
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,160
Well, scary, really.

126
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,120
I mean, he's like
a freeway with no off-ramps, you know?

127
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,320
I mean, we've been separated two years.

128
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,440
His first wife left him, too. Ages ago.

129
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,680
She walked out on him
and their three-month-old daughter,

130
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,720
who is still living with him.

131
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,240
- She's grown up, now.
- I hope so.

132
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,160
She's a little disturbed,

133
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,280
to put it politely.

134
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:24,000
Anyway, I want to get married again,
so I got to divorce George first, right?

135
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,080
Might I know
the identity of your intended?

136
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,720
- The Duke of Merton.
- The Duke of Merton?

137
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,440
I guess I got this thing
for English guys with titles.

138
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:37,920
It's my only vice.

139
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:44,000
But I understood
the duke was rather monkish.

140
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,200
Yeah, that's him.

141
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,200
He's like a dreamy kind of monk.

142
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,240
So serious and reverent.

143
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:56,880
Oh, how about it, Hercule?

144
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:58,880
Come on.

145
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,680
I mean, you could just
talk to him about a divorce, huh?

146
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:05,000
I mean, you want me to be happy.
don't you?

147
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,520
I want everybody to be happy.

148
00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:11,280
No, I wasn't thinking about everybody.
I was just thinking about me.

149
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,040
Dinner's ready. Everybody, come on.

150
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,600
- Good. I'm starved.
- Yes.

151
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:19,840
Let's eat.

152
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,560
You better help the lady out.

153
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,760
I don't think
she understands the word "No".

154
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,000
Perhaps she's never come across it.

155
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:34,920
You don't...

156
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,680
No, I must say I've never managed
with a horse.

157
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,000
I would have been
strictly a foot regiment on that...

158
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,600
I say, have we met?

159
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,760
Yes, earlier. My name is Hastings.

160
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,280
You're not Spencer Jones who
loaned me £20 at the club the other night?

161
00:10:58,760 --> 00:10:59,800
No.

162
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,560
You could correct that oversight, now,
if you would.

163
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,720
- Or a 50, if you've got it?
- Gee, Ronny, it's time to go.

164
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,600
Debt creates a bond between men,
don't you think?

165
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:12,360
Ronny? Hey.

166
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,280
It's really been a thrill
to meet you, Miss Wilkinson.

167
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:17,400
It's really been a thrill
to meet you, Miss Wilkinson.

168
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:18,480
Call me Jane.

169
00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:23,280
Yes, thanks awfully for an absolutely
delightful repast, Aunt Jane.

170
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:26,360
Smashing.

171
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:28,160
Smashing.

172
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,840
Well, Hercule, how about it?

173
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,720
Will you talk to George about a divorce?

174
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,480
Or do I have to jump in a cab,
go over there and waste him?

175
00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:44,440
- Jane, you shouldn't joke like that.
- Who's joking?

176
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,440
Yes. Well, Charles and I
had better be running along.

177
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,400
Me, too. I've got an early call.

178
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,720
- What is "waste"?
- What? Oh, don't ask me, old man.

179
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:54,880
Haven't a clue.

180
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,480
I haven't understood a word
anybody said all evening.

181
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,000
I remember seeing you at the Cafe Carlyle.

182
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,800
Thank you. Marvelous.

183
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,960
- Listen, what... 12:30 tomorrow.
-12:30 tomorrow?

184
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,760
Lovely evening, darling.

185
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:09,280
- Take care.
- You, too.

186
00:12:09,680 --> 00:12:10,800
Bye, kid.

187
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,080
Thank you so much. You are...

188
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,600
You don't escape until I get an answer.

189
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,560
I agree to speak with Lord Edgware
on your behalf.

190
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:24,880
You do?

191
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:27,360
Wonderful.

192
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,400
You're a darling! isn't he a darling?

193
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:31,840
It numbs the senses.

194
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,360
- I can't thank you enough. Thank you.
- That's all right.

195
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,440
- Thanks for coming.
- Arthur.

196
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:38,600
Yes, sir.

197
00:12:38,680 --> 00:12:41,080
- Bye, Hercule.
- Bye. Thank you very much.

198
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,320
Poirot, you astound me.

199
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,160
My dear Hastings,
the most beautiful woman in the world

200
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,200
could not possibly influence
Hercule Poirot.

201
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,120
I'm just mildly interested that...

202
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:05,360
You must realize that nothing more
intriguing is happening at the moment.

203
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:06,560
Mr. Poirot!

204
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,240
Perhaps I spoke too soon.

205
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,600
- Hey, Mr. Poirot.
- Hello.

206
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,520
Listen, hey, I got a problem
I wanted to talk to you about,

207
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:15,640
if you don't mind.

208
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,360
- Shall we walk?
- Yeah. Yeah.

209
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,200
See, I think somebody's following me.

210
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,920
- I see no one.
- Not now. Just sometimes.

211
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,520
- Would you tell me about it?
- I'd like to, but I really can't.

212
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,800
You see, there's a woman involved...

213
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,440
I can't really tell you too much
unless I check...

214
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,760
A woman involved,
but is there a crime involved?

215
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,160
You know, a good crime, sir,
is like a fine omelet.

216
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:43,680
It is plain on the outside,

217
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,000
you only discover the first clue
when you put your fork in it.

218
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,120
Yeah, yeah. Well, I guess...

219
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,360
I guess you could say
there's a crime involved.

220
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,400
- I see. A serious crime?
- Pretty serious. Yeah.

221
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,040
A serious crime.
The ultimate crime, of course, is murder.

222
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,480
And the solving of murders
is like a breath of air to me.

223
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,320
Murder. Yeah.

224
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,680
Listen, by the way, did Jane
talk you into going to see her old man?

225
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,760
You know, a little champagne,
such a beautiful woman...

226
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:13,920
Poirot?

227
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,760
Yeah, she is that. She is beautiful.

228
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,080
- Yes.
- But I believe her.

229
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:21,480
About what?

230
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,400
About bumping the old guy off.
I think she'd really do it.

231
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,840
- The ultimate crime, murder?
- Yeah.

232
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,760
You see, Jane and I go back a long way,
if you know what I mean.

233
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,320
Jane Wilkinson has got one interest
in mind, Jane Wilkinson.

234
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:41,000
I hate to say it,
but right and wrong mean zip to this lady

235
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,280
if she's going after
something that she wants.

236
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,840
I can see her blowing old Georgie away,

237
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,960
and then feeling very offended
if they caught her.

238
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:50,600
Yeah.

239
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,840
You know,
she acts like she's got a lot of class,

240
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,320
with the champagne
and the dinner parties,

241
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:01,320
but there's still a very good reason
why she plays the dumb blond so well,

242
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:02,880
you know what I mean?

243
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,680
Hey, listen, I really got to run.

244
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,120
- The early call?
- Yeah. Yeah.

245
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,640
Listen, I'll get back to you
on that other matter, okay?

246
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,360
- Yeah.
- You've been a great help to me.

247
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,640
I mean it. I'm serious.
I love you, you know? You're okay.

248
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,800
I say, Poirot, you really are
acting very strangely tonight.

249
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,000
I mean, what's all that about
"a breath of air"

250
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,120
and "sticking the fork in the omelet"?

251
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,440
You know, the many years you stayed
behind a desk in military intelligence

252
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,640
have left you entirely innocent.

253
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,760
Oh, you observed me tonight a little,
out of force of habit,

254
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:40,120
but you failed to observe
the professional actor acting.

255
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,080
- When did he do that?
- Just now.

256
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:44,320
<i>"Love you</i>

257
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:50,400
To stroll through life
so entirely unobservant.

258
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,440
- You know, I envy you.
- No, you don't.

259
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,560
Now, you're observant. Bravo!

260
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,440
"Love you." Come.

261
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,080
I didn't mean to offend you.

262
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,080
Hello, is that Lord Edgware's... Oh, it is.

263
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,080
I'm speaking
on behalf of Monsieur Hercule Poirot.

264
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,000
Yes, yes.

265
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,120
He'd like to make an appointment
to see his lordship, if that's convenient.

266
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,920
Yes, I'll hold on.
She seemed to know your name.

267
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:30,480
Yes, just a minute.

268
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,040
He's going to Paris tomorrow,

269
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,520
but he could see you on his return
or today if it's urgent.

270
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,840
- Now. Now.
- Hello. Today would be splendid...

271
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,080
Yeah. Right. Thank you.

272
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:42,840
Fierce lady.

273
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,600
We've got an appointment
to see his lordship midday today.

274
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,720
Monsieur Poirot and Hastings
for Lord Edgware.

275
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:25,720
Come in, sir.

276
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,600
I am, of course,
familiar with your name, Monsieur Poirot.

277
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,360
Also with Hastings.

278
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,680
I can't imagine why you wished to see me.

279
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,200
Our mission
is a somewhat painful one, your lordship.

280
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,200
It concerns your wife.

281
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:45,920
Indeed.

282
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,240
For some time, you must know

283
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,080
that her ladyship
has been asking for a divorce.

284
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,360
She wants to marry some film actor.

285
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,640
She suggested that you and I
might discuss the matter.

286
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,280
- There is nothing to discuss.
- You refuse to grant her a divorce?

287
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:03,600
Certainly not.

288
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,640
You do not refuse to grant her a divorce?

289
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,200
I am at a loss to understand
your astonishment, Monsieur Poirot.

290
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,760
I wrote to her six months ago
that I would no longer contest a divorce.

291
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,800
I had refused until then,
but I changed my mind.

292
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,760
My reasons are my own.
Now, is there anything else?

293
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,400
This way, gentlemen, please.

294
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,240
That's fantastic!

295
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,320
You mean, I'm free? I can't believe it.

296
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,560
Now, concentrate for a moment, please.

297
00:18:55,640 --> 00:19:00,440
His lordship told me that six months ago
he wrote to you conceding a divorce.

298
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,920
- I never got a letter.
- Does that not strike you as odd?

299
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,360
Well, yeah, but you know,
I mean, who cares? I'm free!

300
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:13,400
Mr. Poirot, you're a genius!
What can I do to repay you?

301
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,360
No, your gratitude

302
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,120
is quite adequate a reward. Come. Come.

303
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,280
- So glad to have been of assistance.
- That's all right.

304
00:19:22,360 --> 00:19:25,320
- Bye, Hercule. Thank you.
- Madam.

305
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:35,160
It's odd that Lady Edgware should be
without any curiosity whatever

306
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,440
about that missing letter.

307
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:42,080
For which, incidentally,
there are four possible explanations.

308
00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:43,960
- Four?
- Four.

309
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,440
One, the letter was never posted.

310
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,080
Two, Lord Edgware is lying
when he said he sent it.

311
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:55,360
Three, Lady Edgware is lying
when she said that she never received it.

312
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,400
And four,
someone interfered with that letter

313
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:03,360
either at four "a", the sending
or four the receiving end.

314
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,080
- And which do you suspect?
- I...

315
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:11,680
Poirot.

316
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,040
Oh, Japp. Dear Japp.

317
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:17,480
Come up.

318
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,080
Oh, no. Not the pride of Scotland Yard.

319
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:21,760
I bet he's come to pick your brains again.

320
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,880
Look, don't let him, Poirot.
Please don't let him.

321
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,560
The picking does not hurt me physically.

322
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,440
- JaPP, what brings you out so early?
- Early?

323
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,320
I've been up for hours
on business. Murder.

324
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:35,160
Poirot.

325
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,960
And who pray has been murdered?

326
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,240
Lord Edgware.
Stabbed to death last night by his wife.

327
00:20:49,360 --> 00:20:51,560
Stabbed to death by Lady Edgware.

328
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,880
She's Jane Wilkinson,
the American actress.

329
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,560
- What makes you think she did it?
- Think? I know.

330
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,800
She arrived last night around 10:00
in a blinking cab,

331
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,640
announced herself to the butler
like she was dropping in for tea

332
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,320
and this morning, there was his lordship

333
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,160
with a neat little hole straight
through the cistern into the medulla.

334
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,200
- Why should she do a thing like that?
- Wanted to marry another bloke.

335
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,640
And she actually said she meant to
"call round in a cab and waste him".

336
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:24,280
You are extremely well informed.
Someone has been most obliging.

337
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,840
I'm also informed
that you met Lord Edgware yesterday.

338
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,200
You'd like to tell me about that?

339
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,840
I would like someone else
to hear my reply.

340
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,480
You actually spoke to Lady Edgware?

341
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:35,600
No, I've seen her,

342
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,600
but she won't say a word
without her solicitor.

343
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,040
And till he shows up,
my men are staying right on top of her.

344
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,560
In a manner of speaking.

345
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,160
He's up on the roof!

346
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,200
He's got a bead on him.

347
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:01,640
Look out, Freddie.

348
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,040
Watch it, boys.
He's coming down the wall.

349
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:20,880
Cue Bryan!

350
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,040
Stuntman all right?

351
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,960
- Cut it!
- Nice work.

352
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:28,800
- Cut.
- Bring him in.

353
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,720
- Wonderful, wonderful!
- Felt good. Felt good.

354
00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:34,760
Macho. Real macho.

355
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,600
You know,
I did this same stunt about a year ago.

356
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,440
Bryan, if only
we had British actors like you.

357
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,480
- Someday.
- I'll set up the next shot.

358
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,080
Poirot, what's up?

359
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,680
Lord Edgware has been murdered.

360
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,480
You mean, she really went and did it?

361
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,960
May I present
Inspector Japp from Scotland Yard,

362
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,280
who is in charge of these enquiries?

363
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,720
Look, damn it, I'm sorry,
but I warned you just the other night.

364
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,320
I remember what you said.

365
00:23:02,360 --> 00:23:03,920
It is no doubt for that reason

366
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:08,360
that you think that Lady Edgware
is responsible for her husband's murder.

367
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,960
You mean she didn't do it?

368
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,760
No, no, Mr. Martin, she did it all right.

369
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,240
Well, that makes sense.

370
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,840
She wanted a divorce so she could
go off and marry some duke or a count

371
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,560
or, I don't know,
whatever they call themselves these days.

372
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,120
But he wouldn't let her go. So...

373
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,640
I suppose that means now I'm gonna
have to replace her in the picture.

374
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,200
But she would let him go.

375
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,600
I spoke to Lord Edgware only yesterday.

376
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,080
Japp, that is the reason for my visit.

377
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,080
Well, why didn't you tell her
before she killed the old guy?

378
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,640
- I did tell her.
- You did?

379
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,320
Yes. it's extraordinary, isn't it?

380
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:47,360
Yes. it's extraordinary, isn't it?

381
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,000
Here is a woman
who is willing to state publicly

382
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,920
that she will kill
in order to gain her freedom.

383
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,440
She gains her freedom and she still kills.

384
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:58,640
My poor Japp.

385
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:03,120
I'm afraid your presentation of the case
revolts the intelligence.

386
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:04,880
It doesn't revolt mine.

387
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,960
I've got to get back to her flat.

388
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,440
I've got a few more questions
for her ladyship now.

389
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,840
- Hastings and I will accompany you.
- I don't want you to.

390
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,000
- It is on our way.
- I don't...

391
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,760
Resign yourself to the fact that
from now on

392
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,840
everywhere you go is on our way.

393
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:32,560
I hate this suit.

394
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,720
Yeah. it's a poof suit.

395
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,560
Wardrobe! Harry, come on,
get that wardrobe!

396
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,000
Hi, Hercule. Inspector.

397
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,200
Hercule, tell me what you think.

398
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,200
I sent over to Harrods
to get some mourning outfits,

399
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,000
but I hate black.

400
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,080
Do you think

401
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,320
a lavender would be inappropriate?

402
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,800
Either black or nothing.
You can't wear that. it's impossible.

403
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,720
This is my lawyer, Mr. Moxon.

404
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,360
That man thinks I killed George.

405
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,640
Inspector, when exactly did this
unfortunate occurrence take place?

406
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:17,640
10:00 p.m. last night.

407
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,400
See? I was at a dinner last night.

408
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,040
I shouldn't have said that.

409
00:25:23,120 --> 00:25:26,200
But I asked you before
about your activities last evening.

410
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,480
You're right. You said last evening.

411
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,560
No, but last night,

412
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,360
I was at Sir Montague Corner's house
in Chiswick.

413
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,600
I was there from, what,
about 8:45, wasn't it?

414
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,520
Until 11:30.

415
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,720
You could ask Sir Montague, you know,
if you don't believe me.

416
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,320
You could ask everybody there.

417
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,320
As a matter of fact,
there were 13 of us for dinner.

418
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:50,680
Right.

419
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,200
I'll check it out.

420
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:58,840
- Where are you going?
- Going with you.

421
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:00,760
- You don't know where I'm going.
- Where are you going?

422
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,920
- To Lord Edgware's house.
-It's on our way. Come on. Come on.

423
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,000
Hercule,

424
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,840
could I borrow you for just a minute?

425
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:14,080
Tell me.

426
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,520
Listen, I don't think
that Scotland Yard guy likes me.

427
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,560
- He's just trying to do his duty.
- You think?

428
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,720
It's lucky that I changed my mind
about going to that party.

429
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,520
- You changed your mind?
- Yeah.

430
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,880
I had a terrible headache
yesterday afternoon

431
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,480
and I was just going to send my regrets.

432
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,000
- Did you say this to anyone?
- Yeah.

433
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,360
Yeah, I was out at the film set,

434
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,680
you know, just to say hi
before I start to work next week.

435
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,600
We were all sitting around having a tea,
the way they do here,

436
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,120
and I said, "You know,
I've got a terrible headache

437
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,200
"and I'm going home to bed."

438
00:26:51,120 --> 00:26:52,920
And why did you reconsider?

439
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,720
- Ellis.
- Ellis?

440
00:26:55,760 --> 00:27:00,400
She got onto me about
breaking my engagements, so I went.

441
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:02,720
Poirot.

442
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:04,760
Goodbye.

443
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,400
Thank you very much for the information.

444
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,640
JaPP. wait for me.

445
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,480
You look irresistible in your widow weed.

446
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:16,760
Absolutely.

447
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,080
No need to add to it.

448
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,600
She arrived a few minutes after 10:00,

449
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,600
saying that there was no need
to announce her

450
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,280
and went directly through to the library.

451
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,240
About 10 minutes later,
I heard the front door shut.

452
00:27:38,360 --> 00:27:41,640
At 11:00, I glanced in on my way to bed,

453
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,640
but it was dark, so I assumed
that his lordship had already retired.

454
00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:49,920
The housemaid found his body there
this morning.

455
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,880
Excusez-moi, but how long
have you worked here?

456
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,360
Only six months, sir.

457
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,000
I recognized her ladyship from her films,

458
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,160
as did Miss Carroll,
his lordship's secretary.

459
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,000
I was standing up there...

460
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,360
How was Lady Edgware dressed?

461
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,280
Black dress, black hat, pearls.

462
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:14,320
Excuse me.

463
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,080
Inspector, have we established
an exact time of death?

464
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,920
No. We have to wait for the autopsy,
see where his dinner had got to.

465
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:23,680
What a charming way of putting it.

466
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,240
Inspector, who inherits the title?

467
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,800
A nephew, Ronald Marsh.

468
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,040
- Bit of a waster, I hear.
-lnspector, it's for you.

469
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,640
Now, Miss Carroll,

470
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:42,120
I understand that his lordship's daughter
lives here, is that right?

471
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:43,800
Lady Geraldine. Yes.

472
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,640
I think the inspector
would probably like to speak with her.

473
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,280
I've given her a sedative.
He must speak to her later.

474
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:52,640
A sedative?

475
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,120
Damned if Lady Edgware
wasn't where she said she was.

476
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,560
The other guests swear
she never left the table,

477
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,960
only to take a phone call and even then
she was never out of the butler's sight.

478
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:03,200
That's impossible.

479
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:07,360
I tell you, she was here at 10:00.
I saw her face distinctly.

480
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,480
Miss Carroll,
where did you see her face from, please?

481
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,760
I was standing

482
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:20,600
right here.

483
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,560
Then, her ladyship was wearing her hat,
you say.

484
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,480
She would've
come in through the front door

485
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,840
made her way to the library
in this direction.

486
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,440
Did you see my face?

487
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,840
No, but I swear
it was that dreadful woman.

488
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:39,920
Perhaps yes.

489
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,040
Perhaps no.

490
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:46,880
Listen, Poirot, explain to me

491
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,480
how Lady Edgware could be in two places
at the same time.

492
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,160
That would be difficult even for her.

493
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:53,200
But let us say

494
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:57,040
that the murderer was banking on the fact
that she would not go out last night.

495
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,280
This would give him the opportunity
to kill Lord Edgware

496
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,360
and to incriminate her ladyship
by the use of an imposter.

497
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:05,520
An imposter?

498
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,000
Yes, a talented imitator of some sort.

499
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,840
Someone who'd wear black,
a color which Jane abhors.

500
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,160
Someone like... Like Carlotta Adams.

501
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,680
Steady on, old man. I mean,
I know her clothes are a bit outré,

502
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,440
but surely a charming girl like that
wouldn't get involved in murder?

503
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,000
No. These are only suppositions,
Arthur, please.

504
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,400
Let us assume
that she went to Lord Edgware

505
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:31,040
without for a moment realizing
the reason for her visit.

506
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,800
In that case, she'd wake up this morning
and she'd see the news of Edgware's death

507
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,920
and then she'd get onto the...

508
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:39,960
I have been a fool.

509
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,160
I have been an imbecile!

510
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,080
Hang on, old man. What's this?

511
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,600
We must reach her as quickly as possible.

512
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,680
- We haven't got her number.
- That place where she works.

513
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,200
- They will have the number. The club.
- Yes, the club.

514
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,360
- Café! Café.
- Club...

515
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:01,240
- Go and find a taxi. Carlyle!
- Carlyle! That's it.

516
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:02,280
Taxi!

517
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,360
- Did you get hold of her all right?
- Her number is engaged.

518
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,200
Quick. Go.
Queensberry Gardens as fast as you can.

519
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:56,960
Are you the police?

520
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,960
We're friends of Miss Adams.
Can we speak with her?

521
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,720
Oh, dear Lord, she's dead!

522
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:05,440
Too late.

523
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:22,600
She looks like a sleeping child.

524
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,200
- Veronal.
- What's that?

525
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,080
It's a strong sedative.

526
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,880
Death from an overdose,
I wouldn't be surprised.

527
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,520
The one comfort I derive from all this
is that we could not have saved her.

528
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:37,400
She was dead by the time we found out
about Lord Edgware's murder.

529
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,600
Do you think this was a murder, too?

530
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,160
In my experience the first murder

531
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,480
is often accomplished
against great qualms of conscience.

532
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:51,000
Then, if the danger persists
the second one is that much easier,

533
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:52,960
the third easier still and...

534
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:58,120
Like most things in life
murder becomes a habit.

535
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,600
You think perhaps the two are connected?

536
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:05,680
Yes. She gave
one last performance as Jane Wilkinson.

537
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,720
Miss Bennett was
Carlotta Adams' secretary.

538
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:17,760
Did Miss Adams use drugs
to facilitate sleep, for instance?

539
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,040
Carlotta took no drugs whatsoever.

540
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,280
- Did she go out last night?
- Yes.

541
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,600
I was here when she returned about 12:00.

542
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,120
She seemed exhausted
and went straight to bed.

543
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,920
Today when I came in she was still there,
all cold and...

544
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:34,960
No, no, no, no, no.

545
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,200
Tell me about her day.

546
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,560
Did she invite people to...

547
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,360
Did she leave the flat yesterday?

548
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,800
She had lunch with Jenny Driver,
the fashion designer.

549
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:47,520
They were best friends.

550
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,400
She went out again about 7:00.

551
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,840
All giddy and excited,
like a little girl up to mischief.

552
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,720
- And who was she going to see?
- I've no idea, sir.

553
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,680
- How was she dressed?
- She wore a black dress.

554
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,560
- And any jewelry?
- Only the pearls she always wore.

555
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,120
And she took her make-up case,

556
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,760
which was odd
because she was off last night.

557
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:24,600
Can you identify
this small mother-of-pearl box?

558
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:26,600
- No, sir.
- No?

559
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:31,920
Veronal.

560
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:36,920
Those aren't Carlotta's.

561
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,320
She doesn't... Didn't wear glasses.

562
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:49,320
And did you stay long here
after she returned home last night?

563
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,200
No, only just a moment.

564
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,800
She gave me a letter to post
that she'd been carrying all day

565
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,000
and had forgotten, and then I left.

566
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,160
- And you posted it on your way home?
- Yes, sir.

567
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,640
To whom was it addressed?
Can you recall that?

568
00:35:03,240 --> 00:35:07,160
Yes, to her sister in America.
They corresponded regularly.

569
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:15,760
It's there somewhere.

570
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:18,560
Oh, this is it.

571
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,320
I beg you to be brief.

572
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,840
Miss Driver is preparing
her spring collection.

573
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,480
There's so much work.
Absolutely horrifying.

574
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,400
Jenny, these are the gentlemen.

575
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,480
No. No, no, no. it's all wrong.

576
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,280
Listen, can you get me that soft board?
Please. Thanks.

577
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:44,080
Yes, my assistant tells me that you
want to talk to me about Carlotta.

578
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,640
I regret to inform you
that Miss Adams is dead.

579
00:35:49,720 --> 00:35:50,720
What?

580
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,960
I mean, you see, she can't be.
I had lunch with her yesterday.

581
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,000
It is about that
that I would like to talk with you.

582
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:02,320
Yes.

583
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,440
- What happened?
- She died in her sleep.

584
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:16,960
You know, I can't believe it.

585
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:21,200
I mean, it was just yesterday
she was so excited about...

586
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:22,280
About?

587
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,800
I don't know. Some sort of hoax, I think.

588
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:27,960
A hoax?

589
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:30,120
Well, she didn't talk about it,

590
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,080
but I got the impression
it involved a lot of money.

591
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,520
Poirot, this has been very well worthwhile.

592
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,440
- She's pretty quick off the mark.
- You noticed?

593
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:49,360
No more wool.

594
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,360
What... What do we do now?

595
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:56,000
We must decide who
the death of Lord Edgware would benefit.

596
00:36:56,080 --> 00:37:00,600
- The heirs, the daughter, the nephew...
- Lady Edgware.

597
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,640
- Bravo. And the Duke of...
- Merton.

598
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,640
Quiet, please, we're taking pictures.

599
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:16,560
Not bad.

600
00:37:17,240 --> 00:37:19,000
Tea! I'd rather have tea.

601
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:22,800
What?

602
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:24,720
To work!

603
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:29,080
My ass.

604
00:37:31,240 --> 00:37:33,080
It's like a miracle.

605
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:35,920
You know, the way things happen.

606
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,400
George's death.

607
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,440
No need for a messy divorce.

608
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,760
But have you not asked yourself
who could have killed your husband

609
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,960
and probably, Carlotta Adams?

610
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,640
I'm sorry about the girl. I liked her.

611
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,280
But you know,
whoever it was did me a favor.

612
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,880
I guess the police
will figure everything out anyway, huh?

613
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:01,600
I'm told you received a phone call
during Sir Montague Corner's dinner.

614
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:03,040
A joke, I guess.

615
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:04,680
A joke?

616
00:38:05,720 --> 00:38:08,440
Yeah. The butler called me to the phone,
you know.

617
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:13,160
And this voice said, was I Lady Edgware,
and I said, "Yeah, that's right."

618
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,000
- And she hung up.
- She?

619
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,400
Yeah, it was a woman's voice.

620
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:20,840
Lady Edgware, do me a favor.

621
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,720
Who killed your husband?

622
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:29,240
If I was guessing, I would say
his daughter, Geraldine, did it.

623
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:38,640
Monsieur Poirot, I'm Geraldine Marsh,
Lord Edgware's daughter.

624
00:38:38,720 --> 00:38:40,360
Yeah. Welcome.

625
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:41,920
Your housekeeper said I should wait here

626
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:43,520
as I'd very much like to speak with you.

627
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:47,440
Well, that is entirely mutual.
Come in, please.

628
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,080
Sit down anywhere.
Oh, perhaps over there is...

629
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,520
Now, how can I be useful to you?

630
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,760
Why did my father send for you yesterday?

631
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:07,160
Send for me?

632
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:08,880
Look, I'm his daughter,

633
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,520
I have a right to know
what you talked about.

634
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:13,520
Was it about the family?

635
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,560
Was he afraid of something?
What did he say to you?

636
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:20,280
What passed between Lord Edgware
and myself was of a confidential nature.

637
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:22,640
Look, I insist you tell me.

638
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,040
Were you fond of your father?

639
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:28,840
Fond of him?

640
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,360
No, I was not fond of my father.
I hated him.

641
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,120
I'm sure whoever killed him
had his own reasons,

642
00:39:38,720 --> 00:39:40,680
but I could add 100 of my own.

643
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:45,240
- Even if it caused more innocent victims?
- What do you mean?

644
00:39:45,720 --> 00:39:48,960
I have reason to believe
that the killer has struck again.

645
00:39:49,240 --> 00:39:52,280
- Another murder? Who?
-It was...

646
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,640
No, no. In view of the fact, I have no proof

647
00:39:55,720 --> 00:40:00,520
I think you should disregard
that last remark for the time being.

648
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:05,880
Hello? Who is it?

649
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:10,640
- Lord Edgware?
- Yes, that's my cousin, Ronald Marsh.

650
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,600
- Oh, the new Lord Edgware. Come in.
- Yes, he drove me here.

651
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,360
Inspector, we meet again.

652
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,240
- What a pleasure it must be for you.
-lndeed.

653
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,360
- Come and sit down.
- Thank you.

654
00:40:30,240 --> 00:40:35,080
So, Carlotta Adams' escort, no?

655
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,160
<i>Oui, Monsieur Poirot.</i>

656
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:43,080
So that when you referred
to Lady Edgware as your aunt,

657
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,680
a remark
she seemed to resent somewhat,

658
00:40:45,720 --> 00:40:49,920
it was not just the rude remark
of a drunken young man.

659
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:53,680
Well, I mean, I'd never met my aunt,
the film star, before.

660
00:40:53,720 --> 00:40:55,520
It was sort of a bit of a giggle, really.

661
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,640
- Ronald, I think we should go home, now.
- Home, yes.

662
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,560
Pauper one day,
lord of the manor the next.

663
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:05,840
My late unlamented uncle kicked me out
three years ago

664
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:07,280
and now I return.

665
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,680
To murder, which has transformed me

666
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,880
from the creditor's despair
to the tradesman's hope.

667
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:15,480
God bless Aunt Jane.

668
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:25,080
Don't look at me
with those accusing detective eyes.

669
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:26,560
I've got an alibi.

670
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:28,240
You, too?

671
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,160
Sorry, I was at dinner

672
00:41:32,240 --> 00:41:35,240
and the opera with the Dortheimers

673
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,880
and their boring daughter, Rachel.

674
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:40,560
Disappointed, Poirot?

675
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:44,400
How long had you known Carlotta Adams?

676
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:46,720
A few months. Why?

677
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:51,800
- And you liked her?
- Yes, very much.

678
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,120
Why are we talking in the past tense?

679
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,040
Why? Because she died last night.

680
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:00,640
How?

681
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,720
An overdose of drugs,

682
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:07,360
which I believe was not self-inflicted.

683
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:11,960
Let's go home now.

684
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,120
Dear, oh dear, oh dear.

685
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,760
Enough motives and alibis
for a dozen murders.

686
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:35,960
A dozen?

687
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,600
I hope not as many as that, Hastings.

688
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:41,600
I hope not.

689
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,520
- Sir Montague Corner's residence?
- Yes, sir.

690
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,480
We found it at last.

691
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,320
Sir Montague is out on the lawn
with his guests.

692
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:19,400
I see.

693
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:23,560
Excuse me. Was it you, sir,
that answered the telephone call

694
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:27,520
intended for Lady Edgware
at Sir Montague's dinner the other night?

695
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:31,080
- Yes, sir.
- And what can you tell me about it?

696
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:32,200
Very little, sir.

697
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:35,640
I interrupted her at dinner
to tell her she had a telephone call.

698
00:43:35,720 --> 00:43:36,960
Don't misunderstand me,

699
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,560
but did you overhear
any of the conversation?

700
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,080
She said "hello"
and "that's right" and hung up,

701
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,840
remarking that the party had rung off.

702
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,400
- It was a woman's voice, I believe?
- Yes, sir.

703
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:49,400
- Possibly foreign.
- Foreign?

704
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,040
Thank you very much in any case...

705
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,880
Monsieur Poirot, how very nice to see you.

706
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,160
- How are you, sir?
- And Mr. Hastings.

707
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:15,400
Let me introduce you to the Wildburn's.

708
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:17,000
- We've met before.
- Yes. Yes, we have, yes.

709
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,800
This is Donald Ross, a marvelous actor,

710
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,360
who's gonna be a major, major star.

711
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:24,440
<i>- Well!
- Monsieur.</i>

712
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:26,840
- How do you do?
- Hello.

713
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,520
But we interrupt your game.
We're so sorry.

714
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:30,640
Oh, not at all.

715
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:34,280
Please join us,
if £50 a game doesn't frighten you.

716
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,160
- You're welcome to take my place.
- Well...

717
00:44:37,240 --> 00:44:39,720
Well, £50.

718
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,360
Be careful, he cheats.

719
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:49,600
I invited a delightful variety of people
for the dinner to meet Lady Edgware.

720
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:54,320
- A fine social mixture is a real work of art.
- Yes.

721
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,560
And art is my passion.

722
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:00,280
That's a good shot.

723
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:04,600
That's going to be Sir Montague...

724
00:45:14,240 --> 00:45:18,160
<i>Even that Green-Roman
travesty over there</i>

725
00:45:18,240 --> 00:45:21,920
has a certain splendid arrogance about it,
don't you agree?

726
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:23,480
Yes, it has

727
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:27,480
a splendid arrogance.

728
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,640
Bad luck.

729
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:44,720
I'll see you at the next hoop.

730
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,440
What is your impression of Lady Edgware?

731
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,000
Charming, very intelligent.

732
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:55,440
More so than I expected from an actress
and an American.

733
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:59,120
Actually taught me a thing or two
about Greek art.

734
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:00,640
About Greek art?

735
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:06,000
Now, here I must concentrate.

736
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:08,000
And now...

737
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:09,840
Damn it!

738
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:22,800
Thank you.

739
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:24,960
Thank you very much.

740
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:29,120
And one more, I think.

741
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:34,520
Thank you very much. Perhaps...

742
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:40,120
Could somebody phone for a taxi for us?

743
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:41,240
I'd be happy to give you

744
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:42,360
a lift back to the town if you like.

745
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:43,480
- Really?
- Certainly.

746
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:46,120
- You are mobile? You have a car?
- Yes, I've got my car here.

747
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:49,280
- Probably enough room.
- I didn't even know how to drive.

748
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,520
- That seems extraordinary.
- Well, neither do I.

749
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:54,120
- A member of the younger generation...
- You'd take your life in your hands.

750
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:55,480
- I see.
- That was a brilliant game.

751
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,600
Mr. Hastings, did you see me
in lvanavat the Lyric?

752
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,760
Did I? What? No, I didn't.
No, sorry. I'm afraid not.

753
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:06,280
- Well, it was a short run.
- There will be many of those.

754
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:10,320
- Where can I drop you, Mr. Poirot?
- At Scotland Yard.

755
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:11,400
Right.

756
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,800
You know I got to meet Jane Wilkinson
here the other day.

757
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,760
- You were invited to that famous party?
- Yes.

758
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:19,040
Terribly exciting.

759
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:22,200
- Jane has such presence.
- Yes.

760
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:26,240
Something you can't learn.
I'm told I have the same thing, you know.

761
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:29,960
- Really?
- A certain indefinable presence.

762
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,200
Indefinable. Yes.

763
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:41,920
Sta rt the motor.

764
00:47:43,240 --> 00:47:46,040
- Are you a good driver?
- Appalling.

765
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:21,960
- Thank you very much.
- Thank you very much.

766
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:25,280
- I'm sorry.
-It's all right.

767
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,160
- I'll tell you one odd thing, Mr. Poirot.
- Yes?

768
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:35,960
There were 13 of us at dinner that night.

769
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:37,920
Some bloke failed to show up
at the last moment.

770
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:41,280
And it wasn't until we were moving
into the library that I remembered

771
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:44,000
that old superstition about bad luck
hitting the first person to get up

772
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:47,160
-from a table of 13.
- And who did get up first?

773
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:49,280
Me.

774
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:51,400
- Well, cheerio.
- Bye.

775
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,800
If I'd known that
I wouldn't have accepted a lift from him.

776
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:07,320
Damn it, now the Edgwares'
butler's disappeared

777
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:09,760
along with £3,000 in French francs.

778
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,520
His lordship had it lying about
for a nip over to Paris.

779
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:14,000
What do you want, Poirot?

780
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,920
My only ambition is to be
helpful to Scotland Yard,

781
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:20,480
which by now will have concluded
its investigation into the death

782
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:24,440
of one Carlotta Adams,
an American performer.

783
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,480
Poirot, buzz off like a good chap, will you?

784
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:29,240
I've got bigger fish to fry.

785
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:33,720
In a good bouillabaisse, the little fish
are often tastier than the big ones.

786
00:49:34,720 --> 00:49:36,200
What are you talking about?

787
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,000
Add poison however,
and the whole soup is polluted.

788
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:42,400
Then the size of the fish are immaterial.

789
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:45,080
- What's fish got to do with it?
-It was your own metaphor.

790
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:46,720
- I didn't bring the fish up.
- I didn't either...

791
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:49,920
Stop the fish then. Let's leave it out.
Listen to me.

792
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:54,000
Did you know that
in Carlotta Adams' repertoire,

793
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:57,520
there was an admirable impression
of Jane Wilkinson?

794
00:49:57,600 --> 00:49:59,200
- No.
- Yes.

795
00:49:59,240 --> 00:50:01,080
And on the night of the murder

796
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:04,480
Carlotta Adams was dressed in black
with a string of pearls,

797
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:08,840
which is exactly what his lordship's
secretary, Miss Carroll,

798
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:12,480
said her ladyship was wearing
when she visited his lordship.

799
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:15,600
- By Jove, you're right.
- And that's not all.

800
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:17,000
- By Jove, you're right.
- And that's not all.

801
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:21,000
Carlotta Adams had a make-up case
which contained, among other things,

802
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:24,400
a wig made so as to resemble exactly

803
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:26,440
Jane Wilkinson's coiffure.

804
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:30,040
Poirot, you've done it again.

805
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:32,120
I'll have her picked up immediately.

806
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:35,080
She's been picked up already, my friend.
She's dead.

807
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:37,920
Yeah, yeah. That's right. She is.

808
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:42,440
What was the cause of death?

809
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:47,120
Your report will no doubt say
it was an overdose of Veronal.

810
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:49,560
Well, there you are.

811
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:53,840
Look, she goes to Edgware
in her Jane Wilkinson get-up, right?

812
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:55,560
Yes. Why?

813
00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:59,440
Well, I don't know, do I?
I'm hearing this for the first time.

814
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:04,080
She kills him perhaps by accident,

815
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:06,440
impulsively.

816
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:09,760
Then, overcome by guilt or fear,
she takes a drug overdose.

817
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:13,640
- It makes sense, Poirot.
- Great minds think alike.

818
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:15,440
I withdraw my comment.

819
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:19,800
All right, come on. Come on.
It's a better angle than "the butler did it".

820
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,040
And the rest are all accounted for.

821
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:25,040
Look, the nephew was at the opera.
The daughter was at the opera.

822
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:27,240
The wife was at the dinner, right?

823
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:30,680
You've hit on it, Poirot.
Just a pity there's no motive.

824
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:31,920
Hastings.

825
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:37,320
It's all right. A little spade work
will soon bring it to light, I expect.

826
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:41,240
Well, while you're at your excavations,
perhaps you'd dig up

827
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:45,120
the letters Carlotta Adams
sent to her sister in America.

828
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:50,320
And by the way,
find the taxi driver who accepted a fare...

829
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:52,080
No, two fares

830
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:55,440
from Covent Garden to Regent's Park

831
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:57,960
at 10:40 on the day of the murder.

832
00:51:58,440 --> 00:51:59,800
10:40.

833
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:04,080
Because my friend,
this case is not yet closed.

834
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:06,400
All right. I'll fish around.

835
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:08,200
No. No more fish, please.

836
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:11,400
It's Bryan Martin.
He wants you to go to his film set.

837
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:16,400
No doubt in order to inform me
he no longer requires my services.

838
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:35,120
<i>Pay attention, Bryan.</i>

839
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:43,200
All right. Cut.

840
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:45,440
- Check this, old man.
- I wouldn't like to do that for a living.

841
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:46,920
Yes. Neither would I.

842
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:50,040
- Print that.
- Right, can it, cut and start canning.

843
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:52,480
That was terrific, Bryan. A shot like that...

844
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:55,200
- I want another one.
- Why? What's the matter?

845
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:56,880
I don't know. It just wasn't good.

846
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,880
- I mean, when he was coming...
- That was terrific. It was great.

847
00:52:59,920 --> 00:53:02,120
Don't tell me
the explosion wasn't big enough.

848
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:05,400
That's why I want another one.

849
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,320
<i>- Going again.
- Have one more an that bays.</i>

850
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:16,000
Look, I talked to that lady
about the personal matter we discussed.

851
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:18,800
- Yes?
- She wants to keep a low profile

852
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:22,600
on the whole thing so I don't think
I can put you to work on it. Sorry.

853
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:24,920
How on earth could you
have foreseen that, Poirot?

854
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,200
- A supposition.
- Well, wait a minute.

855
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:30,080
You knew I wouldn't need you?

856
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:32,880
Well, you must be very gratified
in any case,

857
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:35,360
that Lady Edgware
will now appear in your film.

858
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:38,960
Yeah, yeah. But I don't understand
how you knew that I...

859
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:41,520
Sa pristi. We're extremely late.

860
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:43,080
Best of luck with the rest of the filming.

861
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:45,760
As they say in the show business,
"Break a leg."

862
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:47,800
Right. Thanks.

863
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:51,160
But I still don't understand how...

864
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:54,960
What... What are we late for?

865
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:57,960
An unannounced visit
to the Duke of Merton.

866
00:54:00,720 --> 00:54:04,560
I don't care who they are, I shan't
see them without an appointment.

867
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:08,880
But Your Grace, Mr. Poirot threatens
to remain here all day if he must.

868
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:10,640
All right, send them in.

869
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:17,680
Mr. Poirot and Mr. Hastings.

870
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:28,880
What is the reason for this interruption?

871
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:33,120
We are investigating the circumstances
of the death of Lord Edgware.

872
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:35,440
I was not acquainted with him.

873
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:38,920
No, but perhaps you are acquainted
with Lady Edgware.

874
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:40,320
That is correct.

875
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:43,320
Then I will ask you point blank,
Your Grace,

876
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:45,160
do you intend to marry Lady Edgware?

877
00:54:45,240 --> 00:54:48,480
When I'm engaged to marry anyone,
the fact will be formally announced.

878
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:51,400
I consider your question an impertinence.
Good day.

879
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:55,320
I wait for the formal announcement

880
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:58,200
-with breath which is bated.
- Good day.

881
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:02,080
Good day.

882
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:14,280
That didn't go too well.

883
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:16,960
- I achieved my purpose.
- What was that?

884
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:21,560
Lady Edgware is an emotional woman
who says whatever comes to her mind

885
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:22,920
at any given moment.

886
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:25,280
She is quite capable
of announcing to the world

887
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:26,880
that she will marry the Duke of Merton,

888
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:30,680
and the wretched Duke is the last man
in the world to find out about it.

889
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:32,640
Well, he certainly put you in your place.

890
00:55:32,720 --> 00:55:34,680
- I don't agree.
- How do you mean?

891
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:37,600
One of the many diplomas
I got at police college

892
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:40,280
was one for speed-reading upside down.

893
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:42,840
And the letter on the Duke's desk read,

894
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:46,520
"My dearest Jane, I cannot wait.

895
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:49,800
-"Oh my adored one, my angel..."
- Poirot.

896
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:54,000
- You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
- I know. I feel absolutely awful.

897
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:56,800
Let us expiate my sin

898
00:55:56,880 --> 00:56:01,000
with an omelet and a bottle of good wine.

899
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:03,240
Upside down.

900
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:09,040
No, my friend.
You are wrong to arrest Ronald Marsh.

901
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:11,240
Really? Well, you just listen to this.

902
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:13,240
Now, this is a transcript of the letter

903
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:15,880
Carlotta Adams sent to her sister
in America.

904
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:19,280
Now... And by the way, thanks for
the lead, Poirot. That was the clincher.

905
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:22,600
- Don't mention it.
- Right. Here we are.

906
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:25,560
"You remember Ronald Marsh
I told you about.

907
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:28,440
"He loved my Jane Wilkinson impression,

908
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:32,680
"said it would fool Lord Edgware himself,
and offered me £10,000 to try.

909
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:35,320
"Something about some bet.
Can you believe it?

910
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:37,920
"Now I can bail myself
out of that tax mess

911
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,200
"my business manager managed
to get me into.

912
00:56:40,240 --> 00:56:44,120
"Anyway, I'm visiting his lordship
tonight as Jane.

913
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:48,440
"Will let you know
how it turns out next week."

914
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:51,120
I'm sorry. It just doesn't ring true.

915
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:55,560
You said yourself that she could easily
have been drawn into it quite innocently.

916
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:58,880
- Well, there's your proof.
- Here. And that's not all.

917
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:02,320
We found a cabbie who picked up
a couple outside Covent Garden

918
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:05,040
at the last interval right before 11:00,
like you said.

919
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:08,600
He took them to Regent Gate
and then back before the last interval.

920
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:12,040
And he identified Ronald Marsh
from the photo.

921
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:16,800
Much as it distresses me to agree
with the learned inspector here,

922
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:20,720
I must admit it does look to me
frightfully like "case closed."

923
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:23,400
Well, can you think of a motive

924
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:27,360
for Carlotta Adams' death?

925
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:28,920
Yeah. Accident.

926
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:31,760
She came home all excited,
took some Veronal to calm down,

927
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:33,160
some more to go to sleep, and...

928
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:36,000
Then some more Veronal,
and a little more, and...

929
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:37,680
No, I'm sorry.

930
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:40,800
Too many questions are still asked

931
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:44,920
which do not satisfy the little gray cells.
For instance,

932
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:47,840
who was the companion of Ronald Marsh

933
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:51,920
on that cab trip from Regents Park
during the intermission of the opera?

934
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:02,360
If he's here, I'd like to speak
to Mr. Ronald Marsh.

935
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:05,040
Yes. Ronald is here. I'll go and get him.

936
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:06,520
Thank you.

937
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:18,160
Come on, boy.

938
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:21,400
Walker, behave.

939
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:35,040
Mr. Marsh is going to miss all this,
isn't he?

940
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,880
Or you'll have to release him tomorrow,
Japp, you know that.

941
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:39,760
- Yeah.
- I must say I'm not sure

942
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:42,840
it's in the best of taste
going hunting after a murder in the family.

943
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,240
Well, I don't think taste has anything
to do with it, Hastings.

944
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:46,840
- I don't suppose you would.
- Look...

945
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:50,200
Great minds falling out with each other's.

946
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:56,160
So...

947
00:58:57,120 --> 00:58:59,600
My little alibi gone bust, what?

948
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:02,720
We know of your whereabouts
on the evening in question.

949
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:06,000
But I didn't go to my uncle's to kill him.

950
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:08,840
Well, why did you?
And who was the woman with you?

951
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:10,400
I'd rather not say.

952
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:13,320
It's all right, Ronald, we should have
told them the truth from the beginning.

953
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:15,200
- It was me.
- Well, I'll ask you again.

954
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:18,240
- What was the reason for your visit?
- Money, what else?

955
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:20,640
- We went to get my mother's pearls.
- For me to pawn,

956
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:22,920
a very generous offer of Dina's
which I swore to repay

957
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:24,920
even if it meant getting a job.

958
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:26,840
The taxi parked across the road
and I went in...

959
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:29,640
While I waited,
when I thought I saw a man I recognized.

960
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:32,360
That actor chap, Bryan...

961
00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:34,480
- Martin?
- That's him. Yes.

962
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:37,920
Well, I was very surprised, I remember,
because he strode over to the house,

963
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,800
-and let himself in with a key.
- Just as I was coming out with the pearls.

964
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:43,560
- Gave me quite a fright.
- Of course, I trotted over to investigate.

965
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:44,640
And then we hurried away.

966
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:47,200
And we were back in Covent Garden
without being missed.

967
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:48,600
And then, when we learned
of the murder...

968
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:51,280
Well, I thought it best to keep
Dina and myself out of it all.

969
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:53,720
I obviously assumed
that Aunt Jane had done it,

970
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:56,880
so why muddy the waters
with our little escapade?

971
00:59:57,400 --> 01:00:00,360
Well, that's all very well thought out,
I must say.

972
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:02,560
But you couldn't have seen Bryan Martin
that evening.

973
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:05,160
He was having dinner with Jenny Driver,
the designer.

974
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:06,640
Was he?

975
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:09,680
Yes. You're not the only one
with interesting little tidbits, Poirot.

976
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:13,600
And you've neglected to mention
the £10,000 you offered Carlotta Adams.

977
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:15,400
I don't know what you're talking about.

978
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:17,800
We're still playing the little innocent
on that one, are we?

979
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:19,640
I don't know what you mean.

980
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:23,920
Where would I get £10,000?
I was flat broke until my uncle's murder.

981
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:25,960
For which you are under arrest.

982
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:30,040
- Read him his rights and take him away.
- No.

983
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:34,560
- You can't.
- No, please.

984
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:38,840
Satisfied now, Poirot?

985
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:48,480
Yes, I had dinner with Bryan the night
of Lord Edgware's murder. Why?

986
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:51,480
Well, I was surprised you didn't
talk to me about that before.

987
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:53,360
Well, it didn't seem important.

988
01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:56,640
So there is nothing between you
and Mr. Martin

989
01:00:56,720 --> 01:01:00,040
which would constitute "an item",
as they say in the press?

990
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:02,840
We are "just good friends",
as they say in the press.

991
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:04,920
Yes. I rather wish
you had something to tell me

992
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:06,400
that they do not say in the press.

993
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:09,280
Yes. Well, I can't think
what it'd be, love. Sorry.

994
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:13,760
Actually, yes, there was some...
There was something.

995
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:17,120
You know you were talking before
about men in Carlotta's life.

996
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:20,200
- Yes?
- Yes. Well, there was someone

997
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:24,320
she was talking about
with increasing regard.

998
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:28,480
I suppose it's too much to hope
that you remember who it is.

999
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:33,720
- Marsh. Ronald Marsh.
- What a coincidence.

1000
01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:38,760
He's just been arrested
for the murder of Lord Edgware.

1001
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:04,480
- Hastings?
-How did you guess?

1002
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:06,160
<i>- Never mind.  Come up.
- Righto.</i>

1003
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:17,440
Well, I must say, Poirot, your powers
of guesswork are absolutely...

1004
01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:20,760
Good grief. What have we here?

1005
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:23,920
Letters from a dead girl
to her sister in America.

1006
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:26,240
- Carlotta Adams?
- Yes.

1007
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:30,080
You know, I was not satisfied
with a mere typescript of the last letter,

1008
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:32,520
especially not when read aloud by Japp.

1009
01:02:32,560 --> 01:02:35,480
I had to hold it and to really feel it and...

1010
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:39,320
Owing to the kindness of the sister,
she sent this,

1011
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:43,360
and also some previous letters
for comparison. Come here.

1012
01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:46,040
It's quite interesting. You see,

1013
01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:49,000
this is the last letter,
and these are the previous ones.

1014
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:50,880
Can you see a difference?

1015
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:55,800
No, no. You can do it with the naked eye.

1016
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:59,600
These, without exception,
are all folded like a book,

1017
01:02:59,920 --> 01:03:03,640
whereas this one has been torn.

1018
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:06,040
Is that significant?

1019
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:09,000
I don't know yet. But one thing is clear.

1020
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:11,080
The murderer did not anticipate

1021
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:14,160
Lady Edgware's presence
at Sir Montague's dinner

1022
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:18,040
and had absolutely no knowledge
of the existence of this letter

1023
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:19,880
which states quite clearly,
the extent of Carlotta Adams' involvement

1024
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:22,960
which states quite clearly,
the extent of Carlotta Adams' involvement

1025
01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:25,000
in the hoax.

1026
01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:26,800
You see, it's rather moving.

1027
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:31,560
This letter is in fact the dead woman
talking to us in her own voice.

1028
01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:34,760
Yeah, but saying that
Ronald Marsh is guilty, I mean...

1029
01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:38,160
Sit down there. Keep quiet.

1030
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:41,520
- Please. I'm working.
- Yes. All right. All right.

1031
01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:12,280
Of course.

1032
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:16,400
Hastings?

1033
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:18,560
Please, come here.

1034
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:23,000
Look, I want you to look at this.

1035
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:26,680
"You remember the Ronald Marsh
I told you about."

1036
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:29,000
It goes on to another page.

1037
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:32,000
"He loved my Jane Wilkinson impression."

1038
01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:35,440
Well, all these letters
are very carefully written.

1039
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:38,520
And there's something about
their transition which worried me.

1040
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:40,520
And then I suddenly realized.

1041
01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:45,080
An entire page has been torn out
between these two.

1042
01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:47,000
- What?
- Yes.

1043
01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:51,160
You see, the murderer must have
discovered this letter by chance

1044
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:54,080
and found he was named on that page.

1045
01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:58,040
But by also cleverly removing it,
he could give the impression

1046
01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:02,520
that Ronald Marsh was in fact
the instigator of the hoax.

1047
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:06,280
That's devilishly clever if it's true.

1048
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:09,960
Yeah, well, the murderer
is certainly extremely clever,

1049
01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:13,440
which practically eliminates
the young gentleman in prison

1050
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:16,560
-at the moment.
- Well, how can you be sure of that?

1051
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:22,160
- I know. The little gray cells.
- Yes.

1052
01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:29,000
...doubt about it. Thomas Rowlandson
was a superb pictorial journalist.

1053
01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:32,200
- They did something...
- Real sharks?

1054
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:34,960
With real sharks.
They did something to aggravate them.

1055
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:37,520
I don't know if they poked sticks at them...

1056
01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:40,520
...best in the world.

1057
01:05:56,560 --> 01:06:01,040
Then, when we get to the love scene,
the director wants me to do it nude.

1058
01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:04,640
- Can you imagine?
- Not even the lovely hat?

1059
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:07,520
A superb pictorial journalist.

1060
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:11,600
Direct descendant of Hogarth.
I mean, sweeping on towards Gillray.

1061
01:06:11,640 --> 01:06:14,840
This detective stuff is really hot
in American TV this year.

1062
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:17,320
I mean, it's really hot.
Now, I'll be honest with you, and hey,

1063
01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:21,120
honest is what I do best. Ask anybody.
Here's honest.

1064
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:25,200
I'm a very talented producer,
you're a very famous detective.

1065
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:27,920
What does that spell? Miniseries.

1066
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:30,400
You've got a miniseries in you.

1067
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:33,440
I doubt that.
I don't even have my tonsils anymore.

1068
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:36,760
I'm sorry about that, but listen,
if you like to deal,

1069
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:39,080
give my people a call.
The Wildburns know my number,

1070
01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:42,040
I'm Mickey the G. We'll do lunch.
Ciao, chickee baby.

1071
01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:45,880
- Well, what did he say?
- What language was he talking?

1072
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:47,640
I don't know. He sounded
a bit Oriental, old man, though.

1073
01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:52,440
I see the great actor
and the clothes designer are reconciled.

1074
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:58,040
The Duke of Merton seems to be steering
well clear of his betrothed.

1075
01:06:58,120 --> 01:07:01,360
I don't think we're going to get
an announcement very soon.

1076
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:05,360
Listen, it's a most glamorous occasion.

1077
01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:08,000
I haven't understood a word
since I arrived here.

1078
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:10,720
I have a previous engagement, however.

1079
01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:15,800
I will leave you to give them
my adieus, my dear Hastings.

1080
01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:17,840
- Hey, Poirot. Poirot! Come back.
- Good night, Hastings.

1081
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:20,520
You can't leave me here
with these arty people.

1082
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:21,960
- Hello.
- Hello.

1083
01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:23,600
Have we met? I feel sure I know you.

1084
01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:25,520
I don't think so.
I'm not much of a man for parties.

1085
01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:28,080
- I've seen you at one last week.
- Did you? No...

1086
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:34,280
<i>I must thank you, Miss Carroll,
for sparing me some of your valuable time.</i>

1087
01:07:34,520 --> 01:07:39,120
Lady Geraldine requested that I stay on
until I put the family affairs in order.

1088
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:41,240
I suppose this is part of it.

1089
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:45,800
Lady Geraldine seems very fond of
her cousin, Ronald Marsh, doesn't she?

1090
01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:47,680
Much too fond, in my opinion.

1091
01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:51,080
- Oh, you do not share her enthusiasm?
- Most decidedly not.

1092
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:54,480
But I don't believe he belongs in jail.

1093
01:07:54,560 --> 01:07:57,560
Lady Edgware murdered his lordship.
I know it.

1094
01:07:57,720 --> 01:08:00,920
She should never have been admitted
back into this house.

1095
01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:03,760
Lady Edgware, I'd be delighted
to have your opinion.

1096
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:07,440
We were just discussing
The Judgment of Paris and I feel...

1097
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:10,560
They have terrible judgment
in Paris, don't you think?

1098
01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:14,160
I mean, the way they treat Americans
so rudely. it's bad business.

1099
01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:16,440
No, no, I meant Paris, the prince

1100
01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:19,520
whose abduction of Helen
led to the Trojan War.

1101
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:23,320
Trojan War? Must've been before my time.

1102
01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:25,240
I barely even remember Korea.

1103
01:08:26,840 --> 01:08:29,600
- Isn't she amusing?
- I daresay. Very stylish, too.

1104
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:30,720
You know what I mean.

1105
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:33,520
Thank you again for your great kindness.

1106
01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:35,000
Forgive me.

1107
01:08:35,480 --> 01:08:39,160
- My glasses.
- My dear... My poor lady.

1108
01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:42,440
- Are they broken?
- I don't think so. No, I don't think so.

1109
01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:43,840
I think they're intact.

1110
01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:46,720
I bought these new shoes, you know.
They are so slippery.

1111
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:49,240
And I'm clumsy by nature. Forgive me.

1112
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:50,920
- Certainly.
- Yes.

1113
01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:55,240
One moment.

1114
01:08:55,720 --> 01:08:58,000
Monsieur Poirot, these are not my glasses.

1115
01:08:58,040 --> 01:09:01,840
But how is that possible? I have my own,
of course, but they're not very...

1116
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:04,640
They are. isn't that extraordinary.

1117
01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:06,440
How extraordinary.

1118
01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:08,720
- Yes. These are mine.
- Good.

1119
01:09:10,280 --> 01:09:14,240
- Goodbye.
- Good day, Monsieur Poirot.

1120
01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:19,320
Mr. Hastings?

1121
01:09:20,240 --> 01:09:22,000
- Yes, excuse me.
- Excuse me. Could I have a word?

1122
01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:24,520
- Has Mr. Poirot gone?
- I'm afraid he has. Yes.

1123
01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:26,720
- Did you want to talk to him?
- Well, I think I should.

1124
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:30,760
It concerns Lord Edgware's death.
What Jane said earlier about Paris...

1125
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:35,240
Yes?

1126
01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:37,600
Could you ask him to phone me
as soon as possible?

1127
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:41,320
Yes. I think the thing to do
is to telephone him at his flat

1128
01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:43,680
-just about 5:00, teatime, you know.
- Thank you.

1129
01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:44,840
All right.

1130
01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:01,680
Poirot, I must say I rather resent
your abandoning me like that.

1131
01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:04,360
Don't go on... I had my reasons.

1132
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:06,640
That'll be Donald Ross,

1133
01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:09,560
-the young actor who gave us a lift.
- In the open car? Oh, my heavens.

1134
01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:12,160
- Yes.
- Hello? Poirot.

1135
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:16,520
Yes, Mr. Ross, what can I do for you?

1136
01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:19,480
What? Of course. I'll wait.

1137
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:22,520
He's been called to his own front door.

1138
01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:24,160
What did he want?

1139
01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:27,640
He wanted to talk to you
about Lord Edgware's death

1140
01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:30,200
and what Lady Edgware said about Paris.

1141
01:10:30,480 --> 01:10:32,560
- Paris?
- Yes. I'll explain later.

1142
01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:33,880
Hello?

1143
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:37,360
Hello?

1144
01:10:45,280 --> 01:10:47,320
Do we know where he lives?

1145
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:49,200
Yes. I've got his card.

1146
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:53,040
We must hurry. I'm afraid.

1147
01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:36,000
You go that way. I'll go this way.

1148
01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:12,760
He's dead.

1149
01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:16,800
Stabbed at the base of the skull.

1150
01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:18,960
I blame myself.

1151
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:21,680
I mean, if I possessed a tenth
of your deductive abilities,

1152
01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:23,680
I should have known
that boy was in danger.

1153
01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:26,200
My poor Hastings,
you don't know how lucky you are.

1154
01:12:26,280 --> 01:12:30,000
If you had my suspicious nature,
I dread to think...

1155
01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:34,360
But what is it that Lady Edgware could
have possibly said to that young man

1156
01:12:34,440 --> 01:12:37,440
which so offended him
about Paris, of all things?

1157
01:12:37,520 --> 01:12:40,960
I have no idea. I mean, the thing was,
Sir Montague was pontificating

1158
01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:43,320
<i>about The Judgment of Paris
and she misunderstood,</i>

1159
01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:46,640
and thought he was talking about the city.
But I mean, that's hardly surprising.

1160
01:12:46,680 --> 01:12:50,240
I mean she obviously has
"little Latin and less Greek," as they say.

1161
01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:51,680
Yes. The other Paris?

1162
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:56,960
Can I have been wrong all the time?
I don't think so.

1163
01:12:57,160 --> 01:13:00,360
I'm not usually wrong, not to that extent.

1164
01:13:00,680 --> 01:13:02,920
Who are you telephoning?

1165
01:13:03,440 --> 01:13:05,520
- Lady Edgware.
- That's no good.

1166
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:08,760
She said that she'd be having
costume fittings all the afternoon.

1167
01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:11,960
So much the better.
I really wish to speak to... Hello.

1168
01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:14,520
Is Lady Edgware there, please?

1169
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:19,240
Costume fitting? But, Ellis, is that you?

1170
01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:21,240
You don't recognize my voice?

1171
01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:22,680
Poirot.

1172
01:13:23,680 --> 01:13:25,640
Oh, that's nice. Thank you.

1173
01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:29,680
It's very important that I see you at once.
As soon as possible.

1174
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:31,880
Could you come around here,
do you think?

1175
01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:36,480
You know my address? Yes, but 52.
Fifty-two, that's right.

1176
01:13:37,600 --> 01:13:40,120
I will see you presently then. Thank you.

1177
01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:47,640
It's through here, Miss Ellis.

1178
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:53,000
My dear Miss Ellis,
how good of you to come.

1179
01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:54,480
I know how little time you have.

1180
01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:57,680
All that will pass here is confidential,
of course.

1181
01:13:57,760 --> 01:13:59,720
I just wanted to ask you a few questions.

1182
01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:03,200
For instance, how long have you
been in Lady Edgware's service?

1183
01:14:03,240 --> 01:14:04,960
- Seven years, sir.
- Seven years.

1184
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:09,280
In other words, there was adequate time
for you to have known about her affairs.

1185
01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:13,160
No. I chose the word badly.
I mean, her acquaintances, her enemies.

1186
01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:15,040
Yeah, I'd say so.

1187
01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:18,880
And so you would also know
that in less than a year ago

1188
01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:23,000
she and Mr. Bryan Martin
were more than mere friends?

1189
01:14:23,040 --> 01:14:25,200
- Yes. How did you...
- And in fact she would have married

1190
01:14:25,240 --> 01:14:28,800
Bryan Martin had Lord Edgware
given his consent.

1191
01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:32,920
- Yes, but...
- But then... But then the Duke of Merton

1192
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:36,080
made his somewhat monkish appearance.

1193
01:14:36,120 --> 01:14:37,400
He sure did.

1194
01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:41,440
Yes, well, you've confirmed
what I thought. That's really...

1195
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:43,880
Have one of these...

1196
01:14:45,120 --> 01:14:49,120
Confounded carpet. I'm so sorry.
I told you to fix it.

1197
01:14:49,160 --> 01:14:53,240
Oh, my dear. I'm so sorry about that. Yes.

1198
01:14:53,320 --> 01:14:55,400
- There, that's all right.
- Perhaps...

1199
01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:57,040
What? My glasses.

1200
01:14:57,120 --> 01:14:59,640
If your glasses are broken,
I will, of course, reimburse you.

1201
01:14:59,720 --> 01:15:00,760
Oh, they're all right.

1202
01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:03,320
Would you please look and see
whether they're all right?

1203
01:15:03,440 --> 01:15:06,640
- They're fine. Thank you. Yes.
- Are they? That's wonderful, wonderful.

1204
01:15:06,680 --> 01:15:09,920
Well, that's really all.
Thank you very much, my dear.

1205
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:12,200
Get her a taxi, will you, please?

1206
01:15:24,160 --> 01:15:25,160
Poirot.

1207
01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:29,480
You are up to something.
I've never known you to be clumsy.

1208
01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:30,800
Clumsy, am I?

1209
01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:34,320
These are Miss Ellis' glasses.

1210
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:37,200
- You gave them back to her.
- Yes, indeed.

1211
01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:41,440
The pair I discovered
in Carlotta Adams' make-up case.

1212
01:15:41,480 --> 01:15:44,240
She saw through them perfectly well.

1213
01:15:44,280 --> 01:15:46,880
This must be her spare pair.

1214
01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:49,360
That is the degree of my clumsiness.

1215
01:15:50,280 --> 01:15:53,960
You know, Hastings, I have been a fool.

1216
01:15:53,960 --> 01:15:54,120
You know, Hastings, I have been a fool.

1217
01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:55,840
Yes. Yes.

1218
01:15:57,160 --> 01:16:01,800
But now is the time for the gathering
of those responsible.

1219
01:16:35,760 --> 01:16:36,760
Cut.

1220
01:16:37,880 --> 01:16:39,640
Marvelous, Jane. Great.

1221
01:16:39,680 --> 01:16:41,560
Thank you, everybody. Lunch. One hour.

1222
01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:43,240
I want another one.

1223
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:46,880
- What do you mean you want another one?
- I want another one.

1224
01:16:46,960 --> 01:16:50,000
- But that was perfect.
- No, it was not perfect.

1225
01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:51,960
Look, Jake Slagle would...

1226
01:16:52,720 --> 01:16:54,680
Well, he'd do it a lot better.

1227
01:16:57,240 --> 01:16:59,800
- Okay, Bryan, we'll talk after lunch.
- Thanks.

1228
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:02,360
Hello, Poirot, what are you doing here?

1229
01:17:02,440 --> 01:17:05,840
The investigation is nearly over.
You will find out soon enough.

1230
01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:09,320
I hope it doesn't take long.
I usually get a massage at lunch.

1231
01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:13,560
Yes. I will be brief as possible,
once the others have arrived.

1232
01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:16,000
Others? What others?

1233
01:17:25,320 --> 01:17:28,760
Japp, I find myself having to admit

1234
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:33,000
-that I've made a mistake in this case.
- Well, that's very big of you, I'm sure.

1235
01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:36,280
But we've got the murderer locked up,
so why waste everybody's time?

1236
01:17:36,320 --> 01:17:41,200
No, bear with me for a moment longer
and I will show you how I was misled.

1237
01:17:42,160 --> 01:17:44,360
From the beginning of this case,

1238
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:47,880
I suspected Monsieur Martin.

1239
01:17:50,760 --> 01:17:52,120
That amuses you?

1240
01:17:53,400 --> 01:17:56,400
Well, be generous, Mr. Martin.
Share your amusement.

1241
01:17:56,440 --> 01:17:59,960
Perhaps with Lady Edgware. May I tell her

1242
01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:05,400
the day after your party
this romantic actor waylaid me

1243
01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:08,160
in order to try and convince me

1244
01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:11,600
that your "wasting" of Lord Edgware

1245
01:18:11,680 --> 01:18:14,280
-was not a joke.
- What?

1246
01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:19,040
Look, I just wanted to talk to you
about a personal matter.

1247
01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:23,240
Yes. And what could be more personal
than to incriminate Lady Edgware,

1248
01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:26,800
but I was disturbed about the motive
of this. What should it be?

1249
01:18:26,840 --> 01:18:30,480
And then I remembered
that Lord Edgware had told me himself

1250
01:18:30,520 --> 01:18:34,640
in a tone of bitterness,
that his wife had left him

1251
01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:38,680
hoping to marry, and I quote,
"Some actor."

1252
01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:43,240
But then, of course, this adorable creature

1253
01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:47,600
is tempted once again.
She changed her mind.

1254
01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:52,600
And instead of marrying some actor,
she desired to marry some duke.

1255
01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:57,240
Well, of course, the idol of millions
was furious. He was humiliated

1256
01:18:57,600 --> 01:19:00,880
that there should be such a reflection
on his drawing power.

1257
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:03,320
And he planned a revenge.

1258
01:19:03,560 --> 01:19:06,560
And the revenge took the form
of killing Lord Edgware

1259
01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:11,000
while making it seem
that Lady Edgware was the guilty person.

1260
01:19:11,560 --> 01:19:12,680
Now wait a minute.

1261
01:19:12,720 --> 01:19:15,480
You were seen entering the building.

1262
01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:18,680
You had a motive to commit the murder.

1263
01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:23,400
And you had the opportunity for the crime.

1264
01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:25,840
Yeah, but I didn't do it.

1265
01:19:26,320 --> 01:19:29,880
All right. Look, I admit I wanted to
get back at Jane for dumping me.

1266
01:19:30,680 --> 01:19:32,120
But I swear to you,

1267
01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:34,240
that night that I talked to you,
I had no idea

1268
01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:36,280
that the next day the old man
would be killed.

1269
01:19:36,360 --> 01:19:38,520
All I know is, is that I didn't do it.

1270
01:19:39,360 --> 01:19:41,160
Of course you didn't do it.

1271
01:19:42,280 --> 01:19:45,720
But what you wished to do
was to use Hercule Poirot,

1272
01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:48,800
as you use a stuntman to do everything

1273
01:19:48,880 --> 01:19:52,240
that is dramatic, that is unusual,

1274
01:19:52,320 --> 01:19:55,360
that is imaginative or dangerous
in your work.

1275
01:19:55,680 --> 01:19:57,360
Yes, sir.

1276
01:19:57,400 --> 01:19:59,000
Your were followed, were you?

1277
01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:01,760
And you were close to a crime,
the ultimate crime. Murder.

1278
01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:05,960
You did everything you could
in order to excite my curiosity.

1279
01:20:07,480 --> 01:20:10,280
- It was an egregious performance.
- A what?

1280
01:20:11,280 --> 01:20:12,880
<i>"Love you</i>

1281
01:20:13,480 --> 01:20:18,400
Mr. Marsh, I have never seen your
moving picture or whatever you call it.

1282
01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:23,000
But if that night by the side of the river
was anything to go by,

1283
01:20:23,040 --> 01:20:27,080
- I would rather stand in line for a dentist.
- Now, wait a minute, fellow.

1284
01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:31,160
So the ego of the actor is offended.

1285
01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:34,640
Well, the ego of Hercule Poirot
is offended also.

1286
01:20:36,160 --> 01:20:40,600
You thought that you could actually
influence me by such things?

1287
01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:45,680
Of course you didn't commit a murder.

1288
01:20:46,680 --> 01:20:48,600
Poirot, I really don't think...

1289
01:20:48,680 --> 01:20:52,320
No, this gentleman,
everything he says is written for him.

1290
01:20:52,360 --> 01:20:54,960
Everywhere he moves,
someone else does it for him.

1291
01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:59,280
All he's capable of doing
is standing still and loving people.

1292
01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:02,360
Of course you didn't commit a murder.

1293
01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:08,240
But now I will tell you
who did commit the murder.

1294
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:14,560
As you know, I suspected Monsieur Martin
from the beginning.

1295
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:17,000
But there were a couple of things
that worried me.

1296
01:21:17,040 --> 01:21:20,320
What was the nature of the female voice
that spoke to Lady Edgware

1297
01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:22,640
at Lord Montague's dinner.

1298
01:21:22,680 --> 01:21:26,960
And to whom did
those ladies' glasses belong,

1299
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:30,400
-that we found in Carlotta's bag?
- Glasses? Woman's glasses?

1300
01:21:30,480 --> 01:21:33,560
- Please. No, please.
- What's the significance of glasses?

1301
01:21:34,360 --> 01:21:36,200
Wait, and you will be told.

1302
01:21:37,560 --> 01:21:41,560
Then I received
Carlotta's letter to her sister,

1303
01:21:41,600 --> 01:21:44,680
one thing was clear at once,
a page was missing,

1304
01:21:44,760 --> 01:21:49,360
probably the page on which
the identity of the murderer was revealed.

1305
01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:51,840
But there were other significant changes.

1306
01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:55,520
It had been tampered with.
One letter was missing, significantly.

1307
01:21:55,800 --> 01:22:00,800
On top of the page, where it said,
"He loved my Jane Wilkinson impression."

1308
01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:03,880
Now what if that missing letter
had been an "S"? In other words,

1309
01:22:03,920 --> 01:22:07,760
"She loved
my Jane Wilkinson impression."

1310
01:22:07,800 --> 01:22:11,520
Could it be that Lady Edgware
were guilty after all?

1311
01:22:13,400 --> 01:22:16,520
Or Geraldine who so hated her father.

1312
01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:21,240
Or Miss Carroll
who wore powerful glasses.

1313
01:22:22,160 --> 01:22:26,160
Or Miss Driver
who was so jealous of Lady Edgware.

1314
01:22:26,800 --> 01:22:29,440
- Or else...
- Poirot. Please, please.

1315
01:22:29,480 --> 01:22:33,200
Before I grow old, retire,
and move to Brighton. Who is it?

1316
01:22:33,280 --> 01:22:36,000
Bear with me and I will reveal to you

1317
01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:38,400
the fruit of my contemplation.

1318
01:22:39,960 --> 01:22:43,840
<i>Around 7:00, Carlotta Adams
leaves her ﬂat,</i>

1319
01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:48,600
<i>taking a taxi to an obscure hotel
in a remote part of the city,</i>

1320
01:22:48,640 --> 01:22:52,840
<i>where she has been instructed
to register under an assumed name.</i>

1321
01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:56,600
<i>She carries her makeup case
and is wearing a pair of glasses</i>

1322
01:22:56,640 --> 01:22:59,640
<i>given her as a disguise.</i>

1323
01:23:02,680 --> 01:23:05,840
<i>An hour or two later
there is a knock an the door.</i>

1324
01:23:05,920 --> 01:23:10,800
<i>Carlotta opens it to admit Lady Edgware.</i>

1325
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:14,000
- Hi. This is gonna be fun.
-It's gonna be great.

1326
01:23:15,240 --> 01:23:17,880
<i>The two women exchange clothes</i>

1327
01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:20,480
<i>Jane's white gown and ermine wrap</i>

1328
01:23:20,560 --> 01:23:23,520
<i>for Carlotta's black dress and pearls.</i>

1329
01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:27,120
<i>Then, in her Jane Wilkinson wig,</i>

1330
01:23:27,200 --> 01:23:32,160
<i>Carlotta leaves the hotel to exercise
he! talent for impersonation</i>

1331
01:23:32,600 --> 01:23:35,480
<i>at Sir Montague's dinner.</i>

1332
01:23:41,520 --> 01:23:44,160
<i>She impresses both him and Donald Ross</i>

1333
01:23:44,200 --> 01:23:47,600
<i>with her knowledge of Greek art.</i>

1334
01:23:52,400 --> 01:23:54,320
None of the guests knew each other,

1335
01:23:54,400 --> 01:23:56,600
owing to Sir Montague's delight

1336
01:23:56,640 --> 01:24:00,000
in presenting people to each other
not previously acquainted.

1337
01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:03,040
And in these circumstances,

1338
01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:07,560
Carlotta Adams with her golden hair,
with her voice,

1339
01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:12,280
with her mannerisms, passed herself off
very convincingly as Jane Wilkinson.

1340
01:24:12,720 --> 01:24:15,720
And even if she hadn't,
there was provision for that.

1341
01:24:17,080 --> 01:24:20,560
<i>With a dark wig
cut to resemble Carlotta's hair,</i>

1342
01:24:20,600 --> 01:24:22,880
<i>and in the black dress and glasses,</i>

1343
01:24:22,960 --> 01:24:26,320
<i>Jane calls the Montague house
asking for Lady Edgware.</i>

1344
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:29,320
<i>If Carlotta has not been found out,</i>

1345
01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:32,200
<i>she is to answer simply, "That's right."</i>

1346
01:24:32,240 --> 01:24:33,480
That's right.

1347
01:24:36,080 --> 01:24:39,880
<i>Hearing those words,
Jane departs to go about her work.</i>

1348
01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:46,040
<i>Outside his lordship's house, she removes
and conceals wig and glasses.</i>

1349
01:24:46,120 --> 01:24:50,080
<i>Then she rings the bell.
The butler answers and admits her.</i>

1350
01:24:57,680 --> 01:25:02,520
<i>And she crosses the hall,
observed by Miss Carroll from the gallery,</i>

1351
01:25:02,600 --> 01:25:05,120
goes into the library,

1352
01:25:05,200 --> 01:25:08,160
and there she stabbed her husband.

1353
01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:19,520
- But I don't have to listen to this.
- Yes, I think you do.

1354
01:25:20,840 --> 01:25:23,720
You have a great imagination.

1355
01:25:23,760 --> 01:25:26,680
And you are a great storyteller.

1356
01:25:27,880 --> 01:25:31,360
But I didn't have any reason
to kill my husband.

1357
01:25:31,400 --> 01:25:34,640
He was giving me a divorce.
Now, you told me that yourself.

1358
01:25:35,200 --> 01:25:37,240
As you knew I would.

1359
01:25:37,880 --> 01:25:40,280
But, you know,
circumstances had changed.

1360
01:25:40,960 --> 01:25:45,080
You were going to marry an actor.
Now you were going to marry a duke.

1361
01:25:45,120 --> 01:25:49,640
An aristocrat who cannot be seen
to be marrying a divorcee.

1362
01:25:50,720 --> 01:25:55,320
Although, of course, a widow
under certain circumstances

1363
01:25:55,360 --> 01:25:57,360
would be acceptable.

1364
01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:01,920
Where was I? Oh, yes.

1365
01:26:05,400 --> 01:26:09,640
<i>Her errand completed,
Jane returns to the hotel room</i>

1366
01:26:09,720 --> 01:26:12,880
<i>where she places
a small mother-of-pearl box,</i>

1367
01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:15,880
<i>with traces of Verona! in it,</i>

1368
01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:18,480
<i>inside Carlotta's make-up case.</i>

1369
01:26:19,240 --> 01:26:22,000
<i>But what does she find there?</i>

1370
01:26:22,080 --> 01:26:26,200
<i>A letter mentioning her name
and revealing everything.</i>

1371
01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:32,200
<i>Probably her first reaction is panic.
It must be destroyed.</i>

1372
01:26:32,560 --> 01:26:36,360
<i>But then on re-reading it,
she notices something.</i>

1373
01:26:36,760 --> 01:26:40,400
<i>By tearing one folded page just so,</i>

1374
01:26:40,480 --> 01:26:43,880
<i>she can eliminate any mention of herself</i>

1375
01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:48,600
<i>and shift the responsibility
for the plot to Ronald Marsh.</i>

1376
01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:53,680
<i>Even if he has an alibi, it will still
read as the accusation of a man.</i>

1377
01:26:55,120 --> 01:26:58,360
<i>Pleased with herself,
she tears the other pages</i>

1378
01:26:58,440 --> 01:27:02,280
<i>to make the letter look consistent,
and she replaces it.</i>

1379
01:27:02,320 --> 01:27:06,000
<i>She settles back
to await Carlotta's return,</i>

1380
01:27:06,080 --> 01:27:09,720
<i>unaware that she has
inadvertently dropped the eyeglasses</i>

1381
01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:11,560
<i>into the make-up case,</i>

1382
01:27:11,600 --> 01:27:15,640
<i>glasses she had taken from Ellis, her maid.</i>

1383
01:27:16,320 --> 01:27:18,960
<i>That was your only mistake.</i>

1384
01:27:19,520 --> 01:27:23,320
If I had not found those glasses
in Carlotta's bag,

1385
01:27:23,400 --> 01:27:26,560
I would never have been able
to trace the crime to you.

1386
01:27:30,320 --> 01:27:33,560
Meanwhile, back at Lord Edgware's,

1387
01:27:35,240 --> 01:27:39,760
<i>the butler enters the library
to find his master dead.</i>

1388
01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:44,120
<i>He goes to the desk to phone the police</i>

1389
01:27:44,360 --> 01:27:48,520
<i>but he finds there £3,000</i>

1390
01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:52,280
<i>in French francs just lying around.</i>

1391
01:27:53,440 --> 01:27:55,680
<i>The temptation is too great.</i>

1392
01:27:55,720 --> 01:27:58,880
<i>He rushes out into the night
to hide the money,</i>

1393
01:27:58,960 --> 01:28:01,160
<i>or to leave it with a friend,</i>

1394
01:28:01,240 --> 01:28:05,800
<i>planning to let someone else
discover the body the next morning.</i>

1395
01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:12,960
<i>Returning, it is he, not Bryan Martin,</i>

1396
01:28:13,040 --> 01:28:16,800
<i>whom Ronald Marsh sees
entering the house.</i>

1397
01:28:16,840 --> 01:28:20,640
<i>Later, when Scotland Yard
starts checking into his past,</i>

1398
01:28:20,680 --> 01:28:24,400
<i>the butler gets the cold feet
and he disappears.</i>

1399
01:28:25,480 --> 01:28:30,280
<i>It is after 11:00 now,
and Carlotta returns to the hotel room,</i>

1400
01:28:30,320 --> 01:28:33,520
<i>flushed with the success
of her masquerade.</i>

1401
01:28:33,600 --> 01:28:35,880
<i>They exchange clothes again.</i>

1402
01:28:35,920 --> 01:28:38,480
<i>Jane has brought champagne.</i>

1403
01:28:38,520 --> 01:28:43,160
<i>She insists that they toast their escapade
until the bottle is empty</i>

1404
01:28:43,240 --> 01:28:47,760
<i>and Carlotta has consumed
a lethal dose of Veronal.</i>

1405
01:28:48,760 --> 01:28:53,040
<i>Before midnight,
Carlotta Adams will be in bed,</i>

1406
01:28:53,800 --> 01:28:54,760
<i>asleep and dying.</i>

1407
01:28:54,760 --> 01:28:55,960
<i>asleep and dying.</i>

1408
01:28:58,000 --> 01:28:59,920
Two murders.

1409
01:29:01,360 --> 01:29:03,640
There will be one more.

1410
01:29:05,800 --> 01:29:09,440
At the Wildburns' luncheon,
Jane joins a conversation

1411
01:29:09,480 --> 01:29:11,640
<i>about The Judgment of Paris.</i>

1412
01:29:11,880 --> 01:29:15,000
<i>This draws the attention
of young Donald Ross.</i>

1413
01:29:15,440 --> 01:29:18,880
<i>The Jane Wilkinson he had met
at Si! Montague's dinner</i>

1414
01:29:18,960 --> 01:29:21,520
<i>was quite conversant in history and art.</i>

1415
01:29:21,560 --> 01:29:24,600
<i>But for reasons he cannot comprehend,</i>

1416
01:29:24,680 --> 01:29:29,040
<i>this Jane Wilkinson seems a stranger
to him, a different woman.</i>

1417
01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:33,960
<i>As they are leaving,
he approaches Hastings, my associate.</i>

1418
01:29:34,040 --> 01:29:38,200
<i>Jane overhears their exchange
and is shrewd enough to realize</i>

1419
01:29:38,280 --> 01:29:42,280
<i>that in some way or other
she has given herself away.</i>

1420
01:29:45,800 --> 01:29:49,200
Later that day,
just as Monsieur Ross is phoning me,

1421
01:29:49,240 --> 01:29:51,000
<i>-there is a knock at his door.
Jane.</i>

1422
01:29:51,080 --> 01:29:54,000
<i>Naturally he is surprised
to see Jane Wilkinson.</i>

1423
01:29:54,080 --> 01:29:55,840
<i>But he is not afraid.</i>

1424
01:29:55,920 --> 01:30:00,880
<i>Unfortunately for him, he is not afraid.</i>

1425
01:30:02,240 --> 01:30:05,200
ls my story accurate, Miss Wilkinson?

1426
01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:09,440
Close enough, Hercule.

1427
01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:12,600
I guess it's close enough.

1428
01:30:13,520 --> 01:30:16,880
Poirot, I don't know how you do it.

1429
01:30:17,720 --> 01:30:19,480
The little gray cells.

1430
01:30:23,520 --> 01:30:25,640
I think you better come with me, miss.

1431
01:30:25,960 --> 01:30:28,320
- Keep them back. Come on.
- Get back, please.

1432
01:30:28,400 --> 01:30:30,000
Clear well back. Clear well back.

1433
01:30:30,040 --> 01:30:31,480
Stop pushing.

1434
01:30:32,320 --> 01:30:33,440
Stand back.

1435
01:30:38,680 --> 01:30:40,120
Keep it clear. Keep it clear.

1436
01:30:42,680 --> 01:30:44,840
- Hello.
- Move back, please.

1437
01:30:47,400 --> 01:30:49,000
Jane! One for the papers, Jane.

1438
01:30:49,640 --> 01:30:51,000
Go back, please.

1439
01:30:56,560 --> 01:30:59,040
Jane. What awful news, Jane.

1440
01:31:00,640 --> 01:31:03,440
Did you wait
to wave me goodbye, Hercule?

1441
01:31:03,520 --> 01:31:07,200
Make no mistake, madame.
I derive no pleasure from any of this.

1442
01:31:07,240 --> 01:31:09,440
Thanks for the sympathy.

1443
01:31:10,240 --> 01:31:12,720
Hey, I don't want you to think
I'm mad at you.

1444
01:31:12,800 --> 01:31:15,120
I mean, you just did
what you had to do, right?

1445
01:31:15,200 --> 01:31:17,280
At your invitation, madame.

1446
01:31:18,960 --> 01:31:19,960
Yeah.

1447
01:31:20,720 --> 01:31:23,600
Hey, it's okay.

1448
01:31:23,760 --> 01:31:26,560
You know, all I ever got to play
was dumb blonds.

1449
01:31:27,120 --> 01:31:29,800
But I can be smart when I want to, right?

1450
01:31:30,480 --> 01:31:33,560
- I almost fooled you.
- Almost.

1451
01:31:34,960 --> 01:31:37,120
Please, Miss Wilkinson, I got a tall one.
I just loved you...

1452
01:31:37,160 --> 01:31:38,480
Thank you.

1453
01:31:42,800 --> 01:31:45,200
You know, I'm sorry about what happened.

1454
01:31:45,680 --> 01:31:47,960
And not about George. He deserved it.

1455
01:31:48,240 --> 01:31:50,880
I dug up some stuff on him
that you wouldn't believe.

1456
01:31:51,920 --> 01:31:54,040
Miss Wilkinson, can I have
your autograph, please?

1457
01:31:54,080 --> 01:31:56,760
Sure. You know something?

1458
01:31:57,880 --> 01:32:01,760
I'll probably be more famous
for my murders than my movies.

1459
01:32:02,240 --> 01:32:06,440
I don't know, knowing you a little bit now,
and also your public,

1460
01:32:06,520 --> 01:32:10,680
I think you may be famous
for the movies of your murders.

1461
01:32:11,360 --> 01:32:12,480
You think?

1462
01:32:14,040 --> 01:32:17,160
I can think of no other leading man

1463
01:32:17,400 --> 01:32:20,880
I'd rather play with than you.

1464
01:32:23,040 --> 01:32:24,480
See you, Hercule.

1465
01:32:25,840 --> 01:32:27,240
Excuse me, Poirot.

1466
01:32:34,640 --> 01:32:38,360
- We love you, Jane.
- We love you, Jane.

1467
01:32:41,520 --> 01:32:43,520
After you, your ladyship.

1468
01:32:45,840 --> 01:32:47,640
Thank you, Inspector Japp.

1469
01:32:50,360 --> 01:32:53,440
Bye, Jane, we love you.

1470
01:32:54,080 --> 01:32:55,840
- Bye.
- All right. One more.

1471
01:32:55,920 --> 01:32:56,920
Get her while she's in the car.

1472
01:32:58,080 --> 01:33:00,320
'BYE-bye, Jane!
- Bye!

1473
01:33:01,080 --> 01:33:02,080
Come on.

1474
01:33:11,320 --> 01:33:14,720
- May I have your autograph, please?
- Why, certainly.

1475
01:33:16,080 --> 01:33:18,880
You ever been to America?

1476
01:33:22,200 --> 01:33:25,840
Oh, dear. What a performance.

1477
01:33:28,040 --> 01:33:30,080
And what a beautiful woman,
don't you think so, Poirot?

1478
01:33:30,160 --> 01:33:32,640
Beautiful. Yes, Hastings.

1479
01:33:33,240 --> 01:33:38,160
Yet no one influences Hercule Poirot.
