1
00:01:25,260 --> 00:01:27,130
Barton, please.

2
00:01:27,140 --> 00:01:30,200
Don't try to stop me, Pauline.
I have to do it.

3
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,300
I'm afraid.

4
00:01:33,340 --> 00:01:35,000
Don't be.

5
00:01:36,460 --> 00:01:39,110
Two years, almost to the day.

6
00:01:41,900 --> 00:01:45,560
You will rest, Iris.
I swear it.

7
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,220
Good morning, Poirot.

8
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,090
Bonjour, Hastings.

9
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,400
Is that all you're having?

10
00:02:12,260 --> 00:02:13,695
What more is there to have?

11
00:02:13,695 --> 00:02:14,830
Decent English breakfast.

12
00:02:14,830 --> 00:02:15,990
And what is that, Hastings?

13
00:02:16,020 --> 00:02:16,970
Well, porridge,

14
00:02:16,980 --> 00:02:19,015
two eggs, sausage, bacon, tomato,

15
00:02:19,015 --> 00:02:20,620
toast and marmalade and a pot of tea.

16
00:02:20,620 --> 00:02:21,740
That's what I had, anyway.

17
00:02:21,780 --> 00:02:24,380
After such a meal, Hastings, I
think I would return to my bed.

18
00:02:24,420 --> 00:02:26,660
Non, non, non.
This will suffice for Poirot.

19
00:02:26,660 --> 00:02:29,290
Is there anything in the English
cuisine that you like, Poirot?

20
00:02:29,300 --> 00:02:31,315
The English, they do not
have a cuisine, my friend,

21
00:02:31,315 --> 00:02:32,230
they have only the food.

22
00:02:32,230 --> 00:02:32,930
Well, that's a bit harsh.

23
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,205
Like the meat, overcooked.
The vegetables, too soft.

24
00:02:35,205 --> 00:02:36,620
The cheese, inedible.

25
00:02:36,620 --> 00:02:38,530
And the day the English
create their own wines

26
00:02:38,530 --> 00:02:41,190
is the day I return
home to Belgium.

27
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,350
Oh, this new restaurant should
be right up your street, then.

28
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,580
"Le Jardin des Cygnes".

29
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,750
Its opening this week,
in Jermyn Street.

30
00:02:49,780 --> 00:02:52,510
They say it will serve the best
French food in London.

31
00:02:52,660 --> 00:02:54,070
All flown in specially.

32
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,870
Le Jardin des Cygnes.

33
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,490
The name, it is familiar to me.

34
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,950
The er... garden of...

35
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:03,430
... sins?

36
00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:06,010
Swans Hastings, swans.

37
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,155
Oh! Well, perhaps they
have it on the menu.

38
00:03:08,155 --> 00:03:09,910
All looks very exotic.

39
00:03:09,980 --> 00:03:12,370
What do you say, Poirot?
Dinner for two?

40
00:03:12,660 --> 00:03:15,530
I say, Hastings, it is time for work.

41
00:03:18,940 --> 00:03:20,530
Thank you.

42
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,340
And there is Miss Lemon.

43
00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:25,360
Juste à l'heure.

44
00:03:28,180 --> 00:03:29,570
Good morning, Mr. Poirot.

45
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,270
Bonjour, Miss Lemon.

46
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,020
What is it that you have there?

47
00:03:36,020 --> 00:03:37,630
I found it with the post.

48
00:03:37,660 --> 00:03:39,675
I suppose someone must
have left it for you.

49
00:03:39,675 --> 00:03:41,690
An admirer, perhaps?

50
00:03:42,300 --> 00:03:44,140
The yellow iris.

51
00:03:45,100 --> 00:03:46,850
First, Le Jardin des Cygnes.

52
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,415
And now this.

53
00:03:48,415 --> 00:03:50,450
- It is a conspiracy?
- Poirot?

54
00:03:50,450 --> 00:03:52,240
Hastings, why do you now
mention this restaurant to me?

55
00:03:52,260 --> 00:03:53,055
And you, Miss Lemon?

56
00:03:53,055 --> 00:03:55,350
- I didn't mean to upset...
- The yellow iris.

57
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,050
It returns to provoke.

58
00:04:12,220 --> 00:04:14,110
I say, old chap, are
you feeling alright?

59
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,380
Can I get you anything, Mr. Poirot?

60
00:04:16,380 --> 00:04:19,210
No, thank you, Miss Lemon.
Please, do sit.

61
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,870
There is something I
must get out of my chest.

62
00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:34,695
The yellow iris?

63
00:04:34,695 --> 00:04:37,010
Yes, Hastings, the yellow iris.

64
00:04:37,420 --> 00:04:40,190
It reminds me of a case
that I was not able to solve.

65
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:41,390
I don't believe it!

66
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,010
Through no fault of
my own, Miss Lemon.

67
00:04:45,300 --> 00:04:48,000
You will recall, Hastings, that
you once asked me to visit you,

68
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,500
when you were living
in the Argentine?

69
00:04:49,500 --> 00:04:50,975
Oh that was two years ago.

70
00:04:50,975 --> 00:04:53,670
You were going to come, but you
cancelled at the last minute.

71
00:04:53,740 --> 00:04:57,110
That is true, I said as much.
But it was not quite like that.

72
00:05:00,420 --> 00:05:03,030
I was looking forward
to I visit you, Hastings.

73
00:05:03,100 --> 00:05:05,910
It was to be my first
time in the Argentine.

74
00:05:06,620 --> 00:05:08,230
I broke my journey in Buenos Aires,

75
00:05:08,230 --> 00:05:11,210
and was due to travel to
your ranch in Las Pampas.

76
00:05:11,500 --> 00:05:15,700
However, because a general strike
had disrupted the transport services,

77
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,290
I was forced to book into a hotel.

78
00:05:22,020 --> 00:05:25,670
You are a liar and a cheat, and I
don't ever want to see you again.

79
00:05:25,670 --> 00:05:26,720
Pauline...

80
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,125
All those things you said to me.

81
00:05:28,125 --> 00:05:29,790
All those promises you made.

82
00:05:29,900 --> 00:05:31,700
You're not interested in me at all!

83
00:05:31,700 --> 00:05:32,730
That's not true.

84
00:05:32,730 --> 00:05:35,530
You're just using me to get your
rotten interview with Barton.

85
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,210
I meant what I said.

86
00:05:37,380 --> 00:05:39,190
I'm in love with you.

87
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:41,950
It's true, I do want
the interview, but...

88
00:05:41,950 --> 00:05:43,500
Well, the answer is no.

89
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,830
I won't help you. You can't
come to the dinner.

90
00:05:45,830 --> 00:05:47,840
And I don't want to see you again.

91
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,650
The path of true love?

92
00:05:57,900 --> 00:06:00,270
Its all going so smoothly, until...

93
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,795
Wait a minute.
I know you!

94
00:06:02,995 --> 00:06:04,530
I've seen your picture.

95
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,590
You're Hercule Poirot.

96
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,870
The rumours are that President
Yrigoyen can't last much longer.

97
00:06:09,900 --> 00:06:10,930
He is old?

98
00:06:10,930 --> 00:06:13,460
Seventy nine. But that's not the point.

99
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,187
He's out of touch.

100
00:06:15,187 --> 00:06:17,660
He's got the military on one side,
and the catholics on the other.

101
00:06:17,660 --> 00:06:20,150
It's just a matter of time before
one of them pushes him out.

102
00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:22,210
It is for this reason that you are here?

103
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,055
No, I'm following Barton Russell.

104
00:06:24,055 --> 00:06:25,870
And his partner, Stephen Carter.

105
00:06:26,180 --> 00:06:28,780
In fact, that's Carter over there,
with the drink in his hand.

106
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,780
There's been a huge oil
strike down in the South,

107
00:06:31,780 --> 00:06:33,290
and they're after the concession.

108
00:06:33,380 --> 00:06:36,140
They set up a company
together, Sovereign Oil.

109
00:06:36,220 --> 00:06:37,390
Su bebida, señor.

110
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,060
Thank you.

111
00:06:39,620 --> 00:06:40,600
Santé.

112
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:41,860
Cheers.

113
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,270
So, tell me...

114
00:06:48,500 --> 00:06:50,380
... what of your young lady?

115
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:51,950
Pauline Weatherby.

116
00:06:52,460 --> 00:06:54,890
You must have heard about
the beautiful Weatherby girls.

117
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,410
Pauline and Iris.
Daughters of Lord Weatherby.

118
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:58,790
Non.

119
00:06:59,220 --> 00:07:00,615
He was a Labor Peer.

120
00:07:00,615 --> 00:07:02,360
He made his fortune in textiles.

121
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,590
When he died, Iris got it all.

122
00:07:04,620 --> 00:07:07,110
And Iris Weatherby, she is also here?

123
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,270
Of course. She is
Barton Russell's wife.

124
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,310
She'll be there tonight,
in Le Jardin des Cygnes.

125
00:07:13,460 --> 00:07:14,860
Barton's having a big dinner,

126
00:07:14,860 --> 00:07:17,170
and I was trying to get
Pauline to invite me.

127
00:07:17,300 --> 00:07:19,790
You see, I think Barton Russell
is up to something,

128
00:07:19,900 --> 00:07:22,730
and I want to be the first
person to find out what.

129
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,270
So, General? Do we have a deal?

130
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,930
You have been most persuasive,
Señor Russell.

131
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,190
Government bonds?

132
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,070
It seemed appropriate.

133
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,970
Let us consider it sound and sealed.

134
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,120
There was, Hastings, in
the hotel, an atmosphere.

135
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,210
It was not just the heat,
but the uncertainty.

136
00:07:56,540 --> 00:08:00,780
I could also feel a growing sense
of unease, and indeed of fear.

137
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,850
I'm sorry, señor.
Happens everyday, now.

138
00:08:06,900 --> 00:08:08,420
It's complete confusion.

139
00:08:08,420 --> 00:08:09,450
Have this one.

140
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,360
Thank you. Room two one
seven, if you please.

141
00:08:12,380 --> 00:08:13,840
Two one seven.

142
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,330
Thank you.

143
00:08:20,980 --> 00:08:22,730
Mr. Poirot, isn't it?

144
00:08:22,780 --> 00:08:24,000
Yes.

145
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,830
I saw you talking to that writer.

146
00:08:25,940 --> 00:08:29,230
You're in..., you're not here
on business, are you?

147
00:08:29,260 --> 00:08:31,620
Non, non, non, monsieur.
I am on route to Las Pampas.

148
00:08:31,660 --> 00:08:33,335
Then I should get a move on, if I were you.

149
00:08:33,335 --> 00:08:35,610
Pretty dangerous, around here.

150
00:08:35,860 --> 00:08:38,050
Buenos Aires really isn't a place to be.

151
00:08:38,060 --> 00:08:40,360
You're most kind, monsieur.
Thank you.

152
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:41,670
Thank you.

153
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:42,780
Hello, Iris.

154
00:08:42,820 --> 00:08:44,315
What's happened to the electricity?

155
00:08:44,315 --> 00:08:46,410
Don't tell me it's another power cut?

156
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:47,520
May I have my key, please.

157
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,790
- Iris, I need to speak to you.
- Now?

158
00:08:49,820 --> 00:08:51,670
- May I take this?
- Yes, of course.

159
00:08:51,700 --> 00:08:54,090
- Where is Barton?
- I don't know. I haven't seen him.

160
00:08:55,300 --> 00:08:58,030
- Who's that man you're talking to?
- Nobody.

161
00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:59,840
Only a tourist.

162
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,455
I didn't think there were any
tourists in Buenos Aires.

163
00:09:02,455 --> 00:09:03,530
It's hardly the time.

164
00:09:03,540 --> 00:09:05,630
That's what I'd been trying to tell him.

165
00:09:08,260 --> 00:09:09,870
Iris...

166
00:09:10,780 --> 00:09:12,050
... I beg you.

167
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,320
You don't know what you're doing.

168
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,350
I know exactly what I'm doing
and I'm going to stop it.

169
00:09:15,350 --> 00:09:17,810
- It's too late.
- For you, maybe.

170
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,635
Iris, please.

171
00:09:19,635 --> 00:09:21,350
You'll destroy me!

172
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,450
You should have thought of that before
you got involved in an affair like this.

173
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,095
What does it matter?
Nobody knows about it.

174
00:09:27,095 --> 00:09:28,710
I know.

175
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,460
And I can't live with it, Stephen.

176
00:09:30,460 --> 00:09:33,120
I just can't live with it.

177
00:09:34,500 --> 00:09:37,130
Never will I forget the
words of Iris Weatherby.

178
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,565
For it was then, that
I resolved that I, too,

179
00:09:39,565 --> 00:09:40,690
will take dinner that night

180
00:09:40,690 --> 00:09:44,130
at the restaurant called
"Le Jardin des Cygnes".

181
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,380
Barton, cariño, too sweet
of you to invite me.

182
00:10:01,380 --> 00:10:02,890
Lola...

183
00:10:03,020 --> 00:10:04,710
You look wonderful.

184
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:06,950
Let me introduce you.

185
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,480
You know my wife, Iris.

186
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:11,590
Of course.

187
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,220
- Pauline, her sister.
- Enchanted.

188
00:10:14,260 --> 00:10:17,560
And this is my new partner,
Stephen Carter.

189
00:10:17,560 --> 00:10:18,990
- How do you do?
- How do you do?

190
00:10:19,100 --> 00:10:20,910
Lola Valdez.

191
00:10:21,110 --> 00:10:23,520
Her dancing is the
talk of the Argentine.

192
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,375
You will forgive me, Barton.

193
00:10:26,375 --> 00:10:28,650
I bring with me a young English friend.

194
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,830
- Good evening, sir.
- Good evening.

195
00:10:31,860 --> 00:10:34,060
He is a periodista, a journalist.

196
00:10:34,060 --> 00:10:36,275
And he will write a grand piece on me.

197
00:10:36,275 --> 00:10:38,890
To tell the whole of England about me.

198
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,440
He's doing us all a favor.

199
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,870
Please, Mr. Chapell, join us.

200
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,910
Could you just move
over to get some room?

201
00:10:49,500 --> 00:10:52,430
Well, you certainly got
a nerve, Mr. Chapell.

202
00:10:52,430 --> 00:10:54,830
- I had to get in somehow.
- To get your story?

203
00:10:54,830 --> 00:10:57,450
Hell with the story,
I came to see you.

204
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,710
The food here is said to be excellent.

205
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,790
You did not see my new
revue, Mrs. Russell?

206
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,270
No, I'm not fond of dancing.

207
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,930
You missed a wonderful
performance, darling.

208
00:11:12,950 --> 00:11:15,100
I like to dance before I eat.

209
00:11:15,100 --> 00:11:16,720
Barton...?

210
00:11:18,820 --> 00:11:20,210
Do you mind?

211
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,930
No. Enjoy yourself.

212
00:11:45,660 --> 00:11:48,490
The city, it was about to ignite, Hastings.

213
00:11:48,860 --> 00:11:51,195
The military, it was everywhere,

214
00:11:51,395 --> 00:11:53,830
and many of the streets, they were closed.

215
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,010
This was the background
against which

216
00:11:56,060 --> 00:11:59,750
the dinner of Barton Russell
was to take place.

217
00:12:03,900 --> 00:12:05,470
Allow me to introduce myself.

218
00:12:05,540 --> 00:12:08,490
I am Luigi de Monico, le patron.

219
00:12:08,500 --> 00:12:10,470
Welcome to Le Jardin des Cygnes.

220
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,565
You are too kind, Señor Luigi.

221
00:12:12,565 --> 00:12:13,750
But you must excuse my lateness,

222
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,020
I was delayed, there is some
disturbances in the town.

223
00:12:16,020 --> 00:12:19,100
In this town, there is always
some disturbances. Please.

224
00:12:19,340 --> 00:12:21,820
The best table for my
distinguished guest.

225
00:12:21,820 --> 00:12:23,130
Thank you.

226
00:12:23,820 --> 00:12:26,230
Thank you, Barton, thank you.

227
00:12:29,060 --> 00:12:30,730
That was fun.

228
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,175
It's that detective!

229
00:12:33,175 --> 00:12:34,790
What's he doing here?

230
00:12:34,820 --> 00:12:36,395
It's a free country.

231
00:12:36,395 --> 00:12:38,670
At least it was, when we came in.

232
00:12:39,100 --> 00:12:42,495
Which reminds me, I have to telephone
my stockbroker in London,

233
00:12:42,495 --> 00:12:44,290
before he gets to bed.

234
00:12:44,300 --> 00:12:46,100
Please excuse me.

I see you favor the
red rose of England.

242
00:13:11,340 --> 00:13:13,870
If it disturbs you, señor,
I'll have it removed.

243
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,190
Non, non, non.

244
00:13:15,220 --> 00:13:16,200
Pas du toût.

245
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:17,910
It is the symmetry only.

246
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,730
On all of the tables, the red rose,

247
00:13:21,060 --> 00:13:24,490
except on that one table,
the yellow iris.

248
00:13:24,500 --> 00:13:27,790
It is a command, Monsieur.
A special order.

249
00:13:27,980 --> 00:13:31,190
They are the favorite flowers
of la bella Signora.

250
00:13:31,540 --> 00:13:33,835
Madame lris Russell?

251
00:13:33,835 --> 00:13:37,230
Her husband insisted.
A true romantico.

252
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,930
Please. Enjoy you meal.

253
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,470

Ladies, gentlemen.

264
00:14:32,780 --> 00:14:34,990
I want to make a toast.

265
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,100
A man is never happier to
have his friends around him

266
00:14:38,100 --> 00:14:41,130
than when he's in a foreign
city far from home.

267
00:14:41,580 --> 00:14:44,330
So, my toast is to you,

268
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,890
and especially to
my dear wife, Iris.

269
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,510
What I can say?

270
00:14:54,100 --> 00:14:56,170
Well, in the words of the song...

271
00:14:57,260 --> 00:15:00,270
I shall think of you until I die.

272
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:03,350
Iris.

273
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,050
Iris.

274
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,150
Thank you.

275
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,710
Iris!

276
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,470
Excuse me.
Excuse me.

277
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,870
- I'm sorry.
- No!

278
00:16:01,500 --> 00:16:03,370
Potassium cyanide.

279
00:16:03,380 --> 00:16:05,470
It's not possible.

280
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:18,960
Voilâ.

281
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,470
What are you saying?

282
00:16:23,180 --> 00:16:26,870
Iris didn't kill herself!
She'd never kill herself!

283
00:16:27,460 --> 00:16:28,780
- No!
- My God...

284
00:16:28,780 --> 00:16:32,630
I suggest you touch nothing
until the Police arrive.

285
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,590
My worst fears
had been realised.

286
00:16:41,780 --> 00:16:45,610
And yet, even as I prepared to
investigate the death of Iris Russell,

287
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,810
events were taking over.

288
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,290
When I came down to
breakfast, the next day,

289
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:51,900
the hotel, it was deserted.

290
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,030
The guests and the staff,
it seemed, had fled.

291
00:16:58,780 --> 00:17:00,970
Mr. Poirot! Have you heard the news?

292
00:17:00,970 --> 00:17:03,160
It's incredible! There's been a coup d'etat.

293
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:04,595
President Yrigoyen.

294
00:17:04,595 --> 00:17:05,990
The rumors are he's been shot.

295
00:17:06,020 --> 00:17:08,680
In any event, the
military are in control.

296
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,110
Well then it appears you will
have your story, after all.

297
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,310
What with everything today.
And Iris...

298
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,130
I'm sorry.

299
00:17:17,940 --> 00:17:20,970
Once again, Mademoiselle,
you have my condolences.

300
00:17:22,120 --> 00:17:24,910
I just can't believe it, Mr. Poirot.

301
00:17:25,360 --> 00:17:27,790
Iris would never have killed herself.

302
00:17:32,980 --> 00:17:36,070
You are "Hercules" Poirot?

303
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,550
- Yes, I am.
- You're under arrest.

304
00:17:39,860 --> 00:17:42,110
- Wait a minute...
- Be silent!

305
00:17:42,780 --> 00:17:44,230
Come now.

306
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:47,390
Don't worry, M. Poirot.

307
00:17:47,420 --> 00:17:48,880
I'll call the French Embassy.

308
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,310
Non, non, non!
The Belgian Embassy!

309
00:18:16,900 --> 00:18:19,170
We know all about you,
Señor Poirot.

310
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,970
You are here to engage in espionage.

311
00:18:22,060 --> 00:18:24,350
Imbécile!
You have my passport?

312
00:18:24,420 --> 00:18:25,770
A forgery.

313
00:18:27,580 --> 00:18:31,790
You appreciate that I could have you
taken outside now and shot?

314
00:18:32,540 --> 00:18:34,230
I wish to see the consul.

315
00:18:34,300 --> 00:18:35,910
You will see no one.

316
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,795
There is a ship leaving
Enseñada in one hour.

317
00:18:39,795 --> 00:18:41,870
You will be on it.

318
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,630
- But...
- No argument.

319
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,070
Take him!

320
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,128
And that was the end of it.

321
00:19:22,737 --> 00:19:24,466
I was taken to a ship

322
00:19:24,466 --> 00:19:26,393
and deported on the same day.

323
00:19:26,394 --> 00:19:28,492
In a cabin of the third class!

324
00:19:29,570 --> 00:19:31,659
So that's why you never came.

325
00:19:31,928 --> 00:19:34,116
But why on earth didn't you tell me?

326
00:19:34,146 --> 00:19:35,422
Hercule Poirot

327
00:19:35,422 --> 00:19:38,452
arrested and deported
like a common criminal?!

328
00:19:38,701 --> 00:19:41,089
That's something I prefer not to describe.

329
00:19:41,199 --> 00:19:43,607
So, who did kill Iris Russell?

330
00:19:43,616 --> 00:19:45,625
It was never discovered, Miss Lemon.

331
00:19:46,014 --> 00:19:48,207
The official verdict, it was suicide.

332
00:19:48,207 --> 00:19:50,001
Et c'est possible.

333
00:19:50,030 --> 00:19:52,023
The body, it was sent back to England.

334
00:19:52,023 --> 00:19:53,717
The case, it was closed.

335
00:19:54,406 --> 00:19:57,254
- Until now.
- Yes.

336
00:19:57,422 --> 00:19:59,471
The yellow iris.

337
00:19:59,580 --> 00:20:02,078
Do you think it could have been
sent to you as a warning?

338
00:20:04,116 --> 00:20:06,793
A new "Jardin des Cygnes"
opens in London, uh?

339
00:20:07,233 --> 00:20:09,721
And on the day it is announced,

340
00:20:10,369 --> 00:20:12,797
a yellow iris arrives
through the post.

341
00:20:13,586 --> 00:20:14,725
Non.

342
00:20:15,564 --> 00:20:18,552
Hastings, I think it comes
rather as a call for help.

343
00:20:18,941 --> 00:20:20,810
But from whom?

344
00:20:20,999 --> 00:20:23,467
It is that that we must now find out.

345
00:20:24,675 --> 00:20:26,084
Who owned the restaurant, Poirot?

346
00:20:26,114 --> 00:20:28,502
His name, Hastings, was Luigi.
An Italian.

347
00:20:28,571 --> 00:20:31,678
An Italian with a French restaurant
in a South American city.

348
00:20:31,848 --> 00:20:33,896
Now he's opened up here in London.

349
00:20:33,926 --> 00:20:35,595
Signor Poirot!

350
00:20:36,004 --> 00:20:38,602
- Aah, I'm so glad you are here.
- Señor Luigi.

351
00:20:38,641 --> 00:20:40,330
It happens all over again.

352
00:20:40,330 --> 00:20:41,819
A disaster.

353
00:20:41,958 --> 00:20:45,185
Signor Russell, he telephoned
to make a reservation.

354
00:20:45,275 --> 00:20:48,502
Six people, he says.
Just like last time.

355
00:20:48,991 --> 00:20:51,599
Once again he demands the yellow iris.

356
00:20:51,668 --> 00:20:56,135
This time, la povvera Signora Russell,
she is not here.

357
00:20:56,144 --> 00:20:57,787
They come on Friday?

358
00:20:57,787 --> 00:21:00,430
Si. My opening night.

359
00:21:00,579 --> 00:21:02,717
Exactly two years later
since the last occasion.

360
00:21:02,717 --> 00:21:04,487
Good Lord!

361
00:21:04,735 --> 00:21:06,348
And you say six places?

362
00:21:06,348 --> 00:21:08,662
M. Barton Russell and
other five others?

363
00:21:09,330 --> 00:21:10,769
A reunion?

364
00:21:10,769 --> 00:21:13,497
Hastings, I need a guide
to the London theaters.

365
00:21:14,246 --> 00:21:15,459
Let's take it from the top, please.

366
00:21:15,459 --> 00:21:17,473
One, two, three and...

367
00:21:18,481 --> 00:21:21,478
♪

368
00:22:03,816 --> 00:22:04,969
Okay, that's it for tonight.

369
00:22:04,969 --> 00:22:07,023
Thank you very much. Thank you.

370
00:22:08,152 --> 00:22:09,540
Mademoiselle,

371
00:22:09,590 --> 00:22:12,517
I was wondering whether you
remember that fatal night,

372
00:22:12,517 --> 00:22:13,886
in "Le Jardin des Cygnes".

373
00:22:13,886 --> 00:22:15,444
When we were in Buenos Aires.

374
00:22:15,444 --> 00:22:16,563
Of course I remember.

375
00:22:16,703 --> 00:22:19,670
That terrible night!
The police, such brutes.

376
00:22:19,700 --> 00:22:21,133
They asked so many questions!

377
00:22:21,133 --> 00:22:23,567
And why? It was obvious!

378
00:22:23,876 --> 00:22:26,894
You believe that Madame Iris Russell,
she committed a suicide?

379
00:22:26,944 --> 00:22:28,622
Of course she committed suicide.

380
00:22:28,651 --> 00:22:30,320
But for what reason?

381
00:22:30,349 --> 00:22:33,427
Because she knew Barton
no longer loved her.

382
00:22:34,205 --> 00:22:35,604
How well did you know her?

383
00:22:35,604 --> 00:22:36,953
I didn't know her.

384
00:22:36,953 --> 00:22:39,602
She never talked to me.
To a dancer?

385
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,446
Have you seen, since that time,
M. Barton Russell?

386
00:22:42,477 --> 00:22:44,626
Yes. He's a good friend to me.

387
00:22:45,035 --> 00:22:46,808
And I need the friends.

388
00:22:46,808 --> 00:22:48,870
I have lost everything.

389
00:22:48,871 --> 00:22:51,004
Did you have to leave the Argentine?

390
00:22:51,104 --> 00:22:52,438
The new regime!

391
00:22:52,487 --> 00:22:54,775
I had too many friends
in the old government.

392
00:22:54,775 --> 00:22:56,863
And now I am in exile.

393
00:22:56,963 --> 00:22:58,581
It is the loss of the Argentine.

394
00:22:58,581 --> 00:23:00,679
Aw! You are kind.

395
00:23:00,759 --> 00:23:04,846
But, tell me, Señor Poirot,
what is the purpose of your visit?

396
00:23:05,075 --> 00:23:09,201
We came, Hastings and I, to welcome
you personally to this country,

397
00:23:09,570 --> 00:23:13,037
and to inform you that we will be attending
your perfomance on Friday night.

398
00:23:14,165 --> 00:23:16,158
Then I'm afraid I must disappoint you.

399
00:23:16,158 --> 00:23:17,852
There is no perfomance.

400
00:23:17,852 --> 00:23:19,730
I have an arrangement for dinner.

401
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,408
It is, in fact, amusing.

402
00:23:22,497 --> 00:23:25,804
You know there is now a new
"Jardin des Cygnes" in London?

403
00:23:25,844 --> 00:23:27,283
Well, I go there.

404
00:23:56,303 --> 00:23:58,026
How could you write this?

405
00:23:58,026 --> 00:23:59,550
I just don't understand you.

406
00:23:59,580 --> 00:24:03,786
- Pauline, I'm a journalist.
- Anthony, you're a fink!

407
00:24:07,632 --> 00:24:10,240
Pauline. Come back, Pauline.

408
00:24:12,227 --> 00:24:13,546
Mr. Poirot!

409
00:24:13,586 --> 00:24:17,232
Very nice to see you again, Mr. Chapell.
My associate, Captain Hastings.

410
00:24:17,921 --> 00:24:19,590
Come in.

411
00:24:24,275 --> 00:24:26,303
Talk about history repeating itself.

412
00:24:26,373 --> 00:24:29,231
Another row with Pauline,
and suddenly you show up again.

413
00:24:29,290 --> 00:24:31,159
And there's this dinner on Friday.

414
00:24:31,268 --> 00:24:33,956
- Oh! So, you're invited too?
- Yes. And Pauline.

415
00:24:34,025 --> 00:24:35,919
We're engaged to be married.

416
00:24:35,919 --> 00:24:37,313
At least we were.

417
00:24:37,342 --> 00:24:39,890
After this little conflict
now, who knows?

418
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,372
It is for this reason we are here.

419
00:24:42,372 --> 00:24:44,375
You have spoken with M. Barton Russell?

420
00:24:44,375 --> 00:24:46,384
No. He's lying low.

421
00:24:46,832 --> 00:24:48,735
If you want to know the honest truth,

422
00:24:48,735 --> 00:24:50,639
it's Stephen Carter I feel sorry for.

423
00:24:50,639 --> 00:24:51,938
For what reason?

424
00:24:52,347 --> 00:24:54,315
He was never in Barton's league.

425
00:24:54,385 --> 00:24:57,232
He was basically a subcontractor
for the British Government.

426
00:24:57,242 --> 00:25:00,489
They were backing him to find oil
somewhere up in the north of England,

427
00:25:00,559 --> 00:25:01,698
Derbyshire, or somewhere.

428
00:25:01,738 --> 00:25:04,185
So why on earth did Barton
want to work with him?

429
00:25:04,575 --> 00:25:06,104
That's a good question.

430
00:25:06,153 --> 00:25:08,141
Anyway, Carter wanted
the big time.

431
00:25:08,171 --> 00:25:10,279
The oil concessions're worth millions.

432
00:25:10,309 --> 00:25:13,136
This oil business, it is always
full of risks, n'est-ce pas?

433
00:25:13,166 --> 00:25:16,554
Yes. But they had the concession,
in their hands.

434
00:25:16,583 --> 00:25:18,831
They won it from a
chap called Pereira.

435
00:25:18,860 --> 00:25:19,969
Pereira?

436
00:25:19,999 --> 00:25:22,228
Wasn't he the one who arrested you?

437
00:25:22,677 --> 00:25:24,145
General Pereira. Yes.

438
00:25:24,315 --> 00:25:26,783
After the coup he became Minister of Oil.

439
00:25:26,852 --> 00:25:29,680
But in your article, you say
that he is no longer in power.

440
00:25:29,730 --> 00:25:31,048
Exactly.

441
00:25:31,048 --> 00:25:34,006
It seems he's been found with his
hands in the till once too often,

442
00:25:34,046 --> 00:25:35,674
even for the Argentine government.

443
00:25:35,704 --> 00:25:37,417
It looks like he's for the chop.

444
00:25:37,417 --> 00:25:40,430
And if he goes, Sovereign
Oil will go with him.

445
00:26:17,821 --> 00:26:19,790
No. That's Hercule Poirot.

446
00:26:29,350 --> 00:26:31,643
Yes, Mr. Poirot, I'm getting out.

447
00:26:31,743 --> 00:26:33,736
Going back to what I'm best at.

448
00:26:33,905 --> 00:26:35,734
And what is that, M. Carter?

449
00:26:35,763 --> 00:26:39,590
I had my own business, you know,
before Sovereign Oil.

450
00:26:39,879 --> 00:26:42,888
Before Barton Russell.

451
00:26:43,835 --> 00:26:45,868
And you now return to this business?

452
00:26:45,968 --> 00:26:48,501
Yes, if I can untangle it from this mess.

453
00:26:48,671 --> 00:26:51,628
But I understand that much of your
finance came from the government?

454
00:26:51,728 --> 00:26:52,667
Yes.

455
00:26:52,667 --> 00:26:56,034
We were excavating for them
in Derbyshire and up in Scotland.

456
00:26:56,123 --> 00:26:57,752
Interesting work.

457
00:26:58,081 --> 00:27:01,768
Although of course,
they were only small returns.

458
00:27:01,797 --> 00:27:04,325
I suppose that's what attracted you
to Sovereign?

459
00:27:04,395 --> 00:27:05,784
Yes.

460
00:27:07,612 --> 00:27:10,240
It was an adventure.

461
00:27:12,367 --> 00:27:14,835
That strike in Santa Cruz.

462
00:27:14,935 --> 00:27:17,203
And if we'd held on to it.

463
00:27:17,741 --> 00:27:20,519
But you have lost the
concession, M. Carter.

464
00:27:20,599 --> 00:27:25,075
Yes. Just two more weeks, and
we would've had that oil flowing.

465
00:27:26,393 --> 00:27:29,900
We won that contract
fair and square, Mr. Poirot.

466
00:27:30,009 --> 00:27:32,018
And now, we've got nothing.

467
00:27:32,647 --> 00:27:34,265
And I'm out.

468
00:27:35,384 --> 00:27:37,412
Thank you, M. Carter.

469
00:27:38,241 --> 00:27:42,368
One last question, if I may, M Carter.

470
00:27:42,437 --> 00:27:44,845
Are you to see again M. Barton Russell?

471
00:27:46,033 --> 00:27:48,322
As a matter of fact...

472
00:27:48,810 --> 00:27:51,483
...I'm, uh, I'm dining with him this week.

473
00:27:51,483 --> 00:27:53,256
At "Le the Jardin des Cygnes"?

474
00:27:53,256 --> 00:27:57,253
Yes! I had a feeling thats
why you'd come here.

475
00:27:57,602 --> 00:27:59,670
Two years to the day.

476
00:28:01,817 --> 00:28:05,444
I don't really see what business
it is of yours, M. Poirot,

477
00:28:05,444 --> 00:28:08,321
if I choose to have a private
meal with friends.

478
00:28:08,331 --> 00:28:11,789
You say friends, and yet,

479
00:28:12,307 --> 00:28:14,315
one of them, he is a journalist

480
00:28:14,445 --> 00:28:17,212
who has just written something about
you that is most unflattering.

481
00:28:17,242 --> 00:28:19,210
And the other is a businessman

482
00:28:19,220 --> 00:28:22,688
who has decided that he will do
with you no further business.

483
00:28:22,776 --> 00:28:25,274
- I see you've been busy.
- Oui, bien sûr.

484
00:28:25,294 --> 00:28:28,492
And there is one thing that
I still do not understand.

485
00:28:29,650 --> 00:28:31,068
What is that?

486
00:28:31,108 --> 00:28:34,236
Anthony Chapell, Stephen Carter,
Lola Valdez,

487
00:28:34,765 --> 00:28:37,952
Mademoiselle Pauline
and your good self.

488
00:28:38,121 --> 00:28:40,274
That is five persons, huh?

489
00:28:40,474 --> 00:28:42,827
And yet the table, it is for six.

490
00:28:44,055 --> 00:28:47,782
As I said Mr. Poirot, it's
none of your business.

491
00:28:49,190 --> 00:28:51,998
The sixth place is for Iris.

492
00:28:52,806 --> 00:28:55,194
- Comment?
- It's a commemorative dinner.

493
00:28:55,284 --> 00:28:57,607
The second anniversary of her death.

494
00:28:57,607 --> 00:28:59,830
And we've all got to be there.

495
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:00,699
Pauline...

496
00:29:00,739 --> 00:29:02,722
Well, I think it's a horrible idea.

497
00:29:02,922 --> 00:29:04,605
I don't want to go.

498
00:29:04,615 --> 00:29:06,633
You will come, Pauline.

499
00:29:07,312 --> 00:29:08,431
Yes.

500
00:29:08,510 --> 00:29:11,263
But you can't boss me
around forever, Barton.

501
00:29:11,263 --> 00:29:13,217
Just one more month.

502
00:29:13,645 --> 00:29:16,253
Excuse me. I'm going to go home.

503
00:29:17,282 --> 00:29:18,901
Mademoiselle.

504
00:29:21,977 --> 00:29:23,771
I'm sorry.

505
00:29:24,671 --> 00:29:25,866
Please.

506
00:29:26,001 --> 00:29:27,501
Thank you.

507
00:29:28,151 --> 00:29:31,029
Anyway, now you know.

508
00:29:32,567 --> 00:29:36,194
M. Russell, if you'd be
so kind as to tell me.

509
00:29:36,722 --> 00:29:39,130
This dinner, why do you have it, huh?

510
00:29:39,699 --> 00:29:43,086
Why do you wish to recreate the
night of the death of your wife?

511
00:29:43,136 --> 00:29:44,764
All right, I'll tell you.

512
00:29:46,333 --> 00:29:48,601
It's very simple, Mr. Poirot.

513
00:29:49,570 --> 00:29:50,949
I know...

514
00:29:52,207 --> 00:29:54,435
I have always known.

515
00:29:54,784 --> 00:29:58,032
Iris did not commit suicide.

516
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,327
She was killed by one of the
people sitting at that table.

517
00:30:02,716 --> 00:30:06,363
And tomorrow night,
I intend to find out which.

518
00:30:07,551 --> 00:30:10,769
Hastings, I must reserve for myself
immediately, for tomorrow night,

519
00:30:10,769 --> 00:30:12,377
a table at "Le Jardin des Cygnes".

520
00:30:12,507 --> 00:30:13,835
You wanna be in on the kill, eh?

521
00:30:13,865 --> 00:30:16,193
It is exactly that, Hastings.
Twice it is arranged.

522
00:30:16,193 --> 00:30:17,981
The dinner. The restaurant.
The guests.

523
00:30:18,041 --> 00:30:20,129
And tomorrow night, I must be there.

524
00:30:21,557 --> 00:30:23,785
To prevent a second death.

525
00:30:33,682 --> 00:30:37,429
I don't like you going to this restaurant,
Mr. Poirot. It could be dangerous.

526
00:30:37,519 --> 00:30:40,846
Ah but when Poirot himself is involved,
he too, is dangerous, Miss Lemon.

527
00:30:40,915 --> 00:30:43,702
I still wish Captain Hastings
were going with you.

528
00:30:43,632 --> 00:30:45,251
Ah, yes!

529
00:30:45,570 --> 00:30:47,719
The good Captain Hastings.

530
00:30:47,988 --> 00:30:51,415
By now, he should be in Norfolk,
in the village of Reepham.

531
00:30:52,404 --> 00:30:54,981
Why did you send him there,
Mr. Poirot?

532
00:30:55,001 --> 00:30:57,069
What do you want him to find?

533
00:30:57,538 --> 00:30:59,647
A motive for murder.

534
00:31:07,988 --> 00:31:09,497
Two years.

535
00:31:10,605 --> 00:31:12,573
Two years to the day.

536
00:31:12,843 --> 00:31:15,630
I hope you don't mind my
coming here, Mr. Grove.

537
00:31:16,180 --> 00:31:18,668
I'm very glad you did,
Captain Hastings.

538
00:31:19,396 --> 00:31:21,664
You see, I was her father's solicitor.

539
00:31:22,154 --> 00:31:25,381
Lord Weatherby, you know,
a wonderful man.

540
00:31:25,750 --> 00:31:27,698
Shared him with Ramsay Macdonald.

541
00:31:27,948 --> 00:31:30,276
And Iris Russell inherited his fortune.

542
00:31:31,504 --> 00:31:32,977
And his ideals.

543
00:31:32,977 --> 00:31:35,051
She was such a beautiful girl.

544
00:31:35,860 --> 00:31:37,668
It was a tragedy.

545
00:31:41,894 --> 00:31:43,982
You were telling me about Iris' will.

546
00:31:44,032 --> 00:31:45,960
Oh, there is no secret about it.

547
00:31:46,030 --> 00:31:49,706
You see, her husband, Barton Russell,
was a wealthy man, in his own right.

548
00:31:49,706 --> 00:31:53,153
So, her money was passed
across to her sister, Pauline,

549
00:31:53,202 --> 00:31:55,270
to be held in trust until
her twenty first birthday.

550
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,688
I suppose you were
the trust's administrator?

551
00:31:57,698 --> 00:32:00,156
Oh no, Mr. Russell is
the administrator.

552
00:32:00,156 --> 00:32:03,283
His wife made him
Pauline's guardian.

553
00:32:03,472 --> 00:32:05,640
So er... if Pauline were to die,

554
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,208
does that mean that Barton
would inherit the trust?

555
00:32:08,327 --> 00:32:09,916
No.

556
00:32:10,325 --> 00:32:13,693
You see, Pauline has
made a will of her own.

557
00:32:13,762 --> 00:32:15,111
Although...

558
00:32:15,220 --> 00:32:19,247
Well I mustn't speculate about
Pauline's intentions, and yet...

559
00:32:20,016 --> 00:32:23,963
... sometimes, I feel afraid for her.

560
00:32:24,430 --> 00:32:28,418
Captain Hastings, what
I can tell you is this.

561
00:32:28,807 --> 00:32:31,715
When she signed the will,

562
00:32:31,764 --> 00:32:34,002
she was accompanied
by a young man.

563
00:32:34,002 --> 00:32:37,009
I assumed him to be her fiancé.

564
00:32:37,538 --> 00:32:40,596
Make of that what you will.

565
00:32:52,763 --> 00:32:55,330
Madam, welcome to "Le Jardin des Cygnes".

566
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:57,348
Sir.

567
00:32:59,336 --> 00:33:00,765
After you.

568
00:33:30,984 --> 00:33:32,293
Thank you.

569
00:33:47,628 --> 00:34:09,106
♪

570
00:34:09,706 --> 00:34:11,055
So...

571
00:34:11,884 --> 00:34:13,692
here we all are.

572
00:34:21,414 --> 00:34:22,723
Signor Poirot.

573
00:34:22,753 --> 00:34:25,041
Señor Luigi. Bonsoir.

574
00:34:25,211 --> 00:34:26,819
- They are all here?
- Si.

575
00:34:26,909 --> 00:34:29,177
And I have a message for you.

576
00:34:30,945 --> 00:34:32,284
Merci.

577
00:34:34,900 --> 00:34:37,348
Ah! From Captain Hastings.
C'est bien.

578
00:34:39,356 --> 00:34:42,624
Signor Luigi, that table
you have for me,

579
00:34:42,873 --> 00:34:45,561
I have for it, no further need.

580
00:34:48,547 --> 00:34:50,065
I know it seems a little odd,

581
00:34:50,065 --> 00:34:53,853
celebrating the second anniversary
of a death in this way, but...

582
00:34:54,281 --> 00:34:55,930
... I have a reason.

583
00:34:56,199 --> 00:34:58,427
And I think it's time I explain.

584
00:35:01,454 --> 00:35:03,183
Two years ago,

585
00:35:03,412 --> 00:35:07,499
my wife died at
a table like this,

586
00:35:07,500 --> 00:35:09,296
in a room like this.

587
00:35:09,905 --> 00:35:12,633
The same five people surrounded her.

588
00:35:13,202 --> 00:35:16,809
The Police, the Argentine Police

589
00:35:17,138 --> 00:35:20,166
recorded a verdict of suicide.

590
00:35:21,214 --> 00:35:23,103
But I have known.

591
00:35:23,132 --> 00:35:24,801
I have always known.

592
00:35:24,850 --> 00:35:29,657
And tonight you wish to establish
the truth, Monsieur Russell.

593
00:35:31,025 --> 00:35:33,722
Mr. Poirot! I wasn't expecting you.

594
00:35:33,742 --> 00:35:35,970
But I was there on the
first night, was I not?

595
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:36,859
That's true.

596
00:35:36,898 --> 00:35:39,426
And I also have a desire
to establish the truth.

597
00:35:39,515 --> 00:35:41,014
You permit?

598
00:35:43,712 --> 00:35:45,580
Let him stay, Barton.

599
00:35:46,789 --> 00:35:48,907
You're right, Mr. Poirot,
you should be here.

600
00:35:48,957 --> 00:35:50,655
You're welcome to join us.

601
00:35:50,685 --> 00:35:51,904
Thank you.

602
00:35:58,877 --> 00:36:00,285
What's going on?

603
00:36:00,955 --> 00:36:02,443
What were you going to say, Barton?

604
00:36:02,473 --> 00:36:05,290
M. Russell was about to say that he believes
that his wife was murdered

605
00:36:05,310 --> 00:36:07,499
by someone seated around this table.

606
00:36:08,987 --> 00:36:11,275
- Wait a minute...
- Who would have harmed her?

607
00:36:11,384 --> 00:36:13,872
- It's crazy.
- Of course it is.

608
00:36:15,580 --> 00:36:17,688
Iris committed suicide.

609
00:36:18,157 --> 00:36:19,586
Everybody knows that.

610
00:36:19,856 --> 00:36:22,284
I do not believe that
she committed suicide.

611
00:36:22,293 --> 00:36:24,122
And I can prove it.

612
00:36:27,528 --> 00:36:29,141
I have to speak to the band.

613
00:36:29,141 --> 00:36:30,955
I have a surprise for you.

614
00:36:33,162 --> 00:36:34,775
Mr. Poirot, can't you stop him?

615
00:36:34,775 --> 00:36:36,789
Do not worry yourself, M. Carter.

616
00:36:37,438 --> 00:36:39,107
Mr. Poirot...

617
00:36:39,736 --> 00:36:41,204
... I'm afraid.

618
00:36:42,473 --> 00:36:44,741

Come on Carter, raise your glass.

646
00:38:41,694 --> 00:38:44,081
What was our toast, two years ago?

647
00:38:45,130 --> 00:38:47,039
To Iris.

648
00:38:48,966 --> 00:38:50,515
Absolumment.

649
00:38:52,662 --> 00:38:54,531
To Iris.

650
00:39:03,791 --> 00:39:05,620
Damn you, then.

651
00:39:11,344 --> 00:39:12,892
To Iris.

652
00:39:15,580 --> 00:39:16,798
To Iris.

653
00:39:16,978 --> 00:39:19,246
- To Iris.
- To Iris.

654
00:39:21,693 --> 00:39:23,586
So what now, Barton?

655
00:39:23,986 --> 00:39:25,680
What other things are you going...?

656
00:39:29,426 --> 00:39:30,894
My goodness!

657
00:39:31,024 --> 00:39:32,573
What on earth?!

658
00:39:32,742 --> 00:39:34,231
Good gracious!

659
00:39:34,461 --> 00:39:35,929
No!

660
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,467
No! That's not meant to happen.

661
00:39:42,694 --> 00:39:44,522
Pauline!

662
00:39:45,190 --> 00:39:47,058
She is dead.

663
00:40:13,821 --> 00:40:15,670
La pauvre petite.

664
00:40:17,138 --> 00:40:19,386
And I, who thought
I could protect her.

665
00:40:19,815 --> 00:40:21,204
Protect her?

666
00:40:21,833 --> 00:40:23,322
You helped kill her.

667
00:40:26,009 --> 00:40:28,237
I am cold.

668
00:40:30,105 --> 00:40:32,233
I have sent for some coffee,
Mademoiselle.

669
00:40:32,303 --> 00:40:34,751
I'd prefer something stronger.

670
00:40:35,060 --> 00:40:36,869
It's my fault.

671
00:40:37,338 --> 00:40:39,006
I should have known.

672
00:40:39,416 --> 00:40:41,304
Pauline always said...

673
00:40:42,612 --> 00:40:45,210
she knew something about Iris.

674
00:40:45,260 --> 00:40:47,358
That was why she was killed.

675
00:40:47,807 --> 00:40:49,435
Non, M. Russell.

676
00:40:50,664 --> 00:40:53,532
That was not the reason
why Mlle. Pauline had to die.

677
00:40:54,081 --> 00:40:55,100
Then why?

678
00:40:55,139 --> 00:40:58,427
Non, non, non, non, non, non!
That is not the question we must ask.

679
00:40:59,196 --> 00:41:02,044
We have here two murders.

680
00:41:05,409 --> 00:41:09,596
And in order to solve the second
we must return two years,

681
00:41:10,205 --> 00:41:12,094
to the first.

682
00:41:13,222 --> 00:41:17,388
Why did Madam Iris
Russell have to die?

683
00:41:17,477 --> 00:41:19,986
So you agree, she was killed.

684
00:41:20,015 --> 00:41:21,704
Oui, c'est évident.

685
00:41:22,852 --> 00:41:24,341
There were perhaps...

686
00:41:25,150 --> 00:41:27,019
... several reasons.

687
00:41:29,106 --> 00:41:30,655
For example,

688
00:41:31,484 --> 00:41:35,490
she stood in-between
you and M. Russell.

689
00:41:35,579 --> 00:41:37,098
Between us?

690
00:41:37,358 --> 00:41:38,817
Ridiculous!

691
00:41:39,216 --> 00:41:42,842
She also stood between her younger
sister and a great fortune.

692
00:41:43,691 --> 00:41:45,839
Pauline never cared about the money.

693
00:41:45,869 --> 00:41:47,877
But you cared for Mademoiselle Pauline.

694
00:41:48,506 --> 00:41:50,754
You would not have been happy,
perhaps, to marry an heiress?

695
00:41:50,824 --> 00:41:51,978
What?

696
00:41:51,978 --> 00:41:55,340
So, I kill Iris so
Pauline can inherit?

697
00:41:56,139 --> 00:41:59,166
And finally, she stood in
the way of you, monsieur.

698
00:41:59,715 --> 00:42:02,422
- Me?
- Yes, you, Monsieur Carter.

699
00:42:03,412 --> 00:42:07,698
You and the biggest gamble
of your career.

700
00:42:12,103 --> 00:42:14,111
In the hotel in Buenos Aires,

701
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,469
I overheard...

702
00:42:16,798 --> 00:42:19,666
Iris, you'll destroy me!

703
00:42:20,215 --> 00:42:23,682
You should have thought of that before
you got involved in an affair like this.

704
00:42:23,771 --> 00:42:26,764
What does it matter?
Nobody knows about it.

705
00:42:26,764 --> 00:42:28,358
I know.

706
00:42:28,407 --> 00:42:30,595
And I can't live with it, Stephen.

707
00:42:30,884 --> 00:42:33,512
What was the affair which
Madame Iris Russell spoke of?

708
00:42:33,601 --> 00:42:34,960
There was no affair.

709
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,567
Not love affair, perhaps,
but a business affair?

710
00:42:38,316 --> 00:42:39,785
M. Carter,

711
00:42:40,135 --> 00:42:43,522
I can see with the eyes of
my mind, and I will speak.

712
00:42:47,108 --> 00:42:49,405
Please show us what you
have in your breast pocket.

713
00:42:49,625 --> 00:42:50,964
What?

714
00:42:51,303 --> 00:42:52,727
What are you saying?

715
00:42:52,727 --> 00:42:54,551
Do what he says!

716
00:43:06,548 --> 00:43:08,297
It's not...

717
00:43:10,244 --> 00:43:12,293
You put it there!

718
00:43:20,094 --> 00:43:22,163
Potassium cyanide.

719
00:43:22,672 --> 00:43:26,140
The case, it is complete.

720
00:43:27,347 --> 00:43:29,006
Carter.

721
00:43:29,106 --> 00:43:31,554
I always knew it was you.

722
00:43:31,963 --> 00:43:33,052
Why?

723
00:43:33,121 --> 00:43:35,889
Why do you not tell us what really
happened in Buenos Aires, M. Carter?

724
00:43:36,019 --> 00:43:38,447
- I can't.
- The shadow of a noose hangs over you.

725
00:43:38,476 --> 00:43:41,334
- No!
- Very well, then I will tell it.

726
00:43:41,353 --> 00:43:42,762
Your coffee, sir.

727
00:43:43,032 --> 00:43:44,520
Bring it in.

728
00:43:45,829 --> 00:43:47,207
The oil concessions

729
00:43:47,207 --> 00:43:50,015
that were acquired by yourself
and Monsieur Russell,

730
00:43:50,085 --> 00:43:53,552
they were not acquired from the legitimate
government of President Yrigoyen.

731
00:43:56,518 --> 00:43:58,327
You're right.

732
00:43:58,856 --> 00:44:01,064
It was Barton's idea.

733
00:44:02,792 --> 00:44:06,269
So, General? Do we have a deal?

734
00:44:06,748 --> 00:44:08,756
He could tell there was
going to be a coup.

735
00:44:08,806 --> 00:44:10,125
Government Bonds, hmm?

736
00:44:10,204 --> 00:44:12,852
So he went straight to the
rebels, to General Pereira.

737
00:44:12,882 --> 00:44:14,290
And the money that was paid?

738
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,577
The money that would assist the rebels
to gain power? From where had it come?

739
00:44:17,577 --> 00:44:20,066
- It was mine.
- No, M. Carter.

740
00:44:20,374 --> 00:44:22,732
It was money entrusted to you
by the government of Britain

741
00:44:22,732 --> 00:44:24,791
for excavations in this country.

742
00:44:25,070 --> 00:44:26,128
My God!

743
00:44:26,208 --> 00:44:28,161
And that is what Madame Iris
Russell had discovered,

744
00:44:28,161 --> 00:44:30,415
and that is why she
had to be silenced.

745
00:44:32,502 --> 00:44:33,976
The daughter of a Labor peer,

746
00:44:34,476 --> 00:44:36,406
could she stand by and
watch his Government funds

747
00:44:36,406 --> 00:44:38,337
were used to support
a military jumper?

748
00:44:38,376 --> 00:44:41,604
- Of course not.
- And you killed her, Carter!

749
00:44:41,733 --> 00:44:44,021
No.
Wait.

750
00:44:44,170 --> 00:44:47,838
Everything you say is true.
But I didn't kill her.

751
00:44:48,446 --> 00:44:49,885
It was him.

752
00:44:50,284 --> 00:44:52,013
He had as much to lose as me.

753
00:44:52,043 --> 00:44:53,351
But M. Carter, you forget

754
00:44:53,601 --> 00:44:57,228
that M. Russell, he was not even at the table
when the champagne was being served.

755
00:44:57,258 --> 00:44:58,187
Exactly.

756
00:44:58,216 --> 00:45:00,804
And tonight also,
Barton was not there.

757
00:45:01,134 --> 00:45:02,242
Wait a minute.

758
00:45:02,272 --> 00:45:05,919
If Carter put the poison in Pauline's glass,
I would seen him. I was next to her.

759
00:45:06,608 --> 00:45:07,587
Exactement!

760
00:45:07,607 --> 00:45:09,355
So you mean he didn't kill her.

761
00:45:09,425 --> 00:45:11,674
It was not I who said that he did.

762
00:45:13,741 --> 00:45:15,000
Merci.

763
00:45:15,779 --> 00:45:18,607
Well if it wasn't Carter, who was it?

764
00:45:22,053 --> 00:45:23,321
Who indeed?

765
00:45:31,503 --> 00:45:33,009
In Buenos Aires,

766
00:45:33,009 --> 00:45:35,929
who could approach
the table with impunity,

767
00:45:36,158 --> 00:45:38,227
invisible in the crowd,

768
00:45:38,776 --> 00:45:40,404
poison a drink,

769
00:45:41,333 --> 00:45:43,262
and at the same time,

770
00:45:44,111 --> 00:45:47,158
provide the evidence of a suicide?

771
00:45:49,565 --> 00:45:51,573
And tonight also,

772
00:45:51,743 --> 00:45:55,330
who circled around the table
holding a bottle of champagne,

773
00:45:56,019 --> 00:45:59,126
only this time, it was Mademoiselle
Pauline who was to be the victim,

774
00:45:59,195 --> 00:46:02,123
and M. Carter who was to take the blame.

775
00:46:05,149 --> 00:46:06,618
In the dark,

776
00:46:06,888 --> 00:46:09,140
when the attention of
everyone is elsewhere,

777
00:46:09,140 --> 00:46:11,693
seen by everyone,
and yet unseen,

778
00:46:12,202 --> 00:46:15,995
the murderer can plant the
evidence and then vanish again,

779
00:46:16,295 --> 00:46:19,589
if he is disguised as a waiter.

780
00:46:19,635 --> 00:46:22,043
Can he not, M. Russell?

781
00:46:24,170 --> 00:46:26,279
What are you saying?

782
00:46:26,368 --> 00:46:29,256
Why should I have wanted
to kill Pauline?

783
00:46:30,064 --> 00:46:33,072
This evening I learned that you were
the guardian of Mademoiselle Pauline,

784
00:46:33,181 --> 00:46:36,269
and that you hold her money in
trust until she is twenty one.

785
00:46:36,478 --> 00:46:39,706
- What of it?
- That time is to be very soon.

786
00:46:40,374 --> 00:46:44,321
I understand that you have also suffered
huge losses in The Argentine.

787
00:46:44,350 --> 00:46:46,368
I think it would be discovered

788
00:46:46,408 --> 00:46:48,566
that the money of Mademoiselle
Pauline, it is gone,

789
00:46:49,166 --> 00:46:51,234
and that you have spent it.

790
00:46:55,139 --> 00:46:57,048
This is ridiculous.

791
00:46:57,057 --> 00:46:58,856
I mean, this waiter business,

792
00:46:58,856 --> 00:47:01,883
are you really telling me
nobody would have noticed?

793
00:47:03,291 --> 00:47:06,998
Did you notice the waitress
who served you with coffee,

794
00:47:07,207 --> 00:47:09,316
just a few moments ago?

795
00:47:10,504 --> 00:47:12,373
What?

796
00:47:19,475 --> 00:47:21,094
Pauline!

797
00:47:23,111 --> 00:47:24,945
I don't understand.

798
00:47:24,945 --> 00:47:26,779
How it is possible?

799
00:47:27,087 --> 00:47:28,696
Pauline!

800
00:47:29,964 --> 00:47:31,973
I thought I'd lost you.

801
00:47:32,582 --> 00:47:35,329
Mr. Poirot told me,
when he sat next to me.

802
00:47:35,399 --> 00:47:37,935
He said not to touch the champagne.

803
00:47:37,936 --> 00:47:40,029
I was just to pretend to drink it,

804
00:47:40,029 --> 00:47:42,423
and then pretend to be dead.

805
00:47:42,492 --> 00:47:45,549
And you played the part par
tout perfection, mademoiselle.

806
00:47:47,687 --> 00:47:49,120
But tell me, Mademoiselle Pauline,

807
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,162
it was you, was it not, who
sent to me the yellow iris?

808
00:47:53,181 --> 00:47:55,230
I was very frightened.

809
00:47:55,579 --> 00:47:57,847
I didn't want to believe it.

810
00:47:58,316 --> 00:47:59,985
But I knew...

811
00:48:00,314 --> 00:48:02,322
I've always known.

812
00:48:03,431 --> 00:48:05,719
And so you called for Poirot,

813
00:48:06,168 --> 00:48:10,155
and Poirot, he was there.

814
00:48:25,389 --> 00:48:27,077
Poirot!

815
00:48:28,146 --> 00:48:29,605
Hastings,

816
00:48:30,604 --> 00:48:31,533
Mon ami!

817
00:48:31,563 --> 00:48:32,622
How did it go?

818
00:48:32,662 --> 00:48:33,875
Well the case, it is solved,

819
00:48:33,875 --> 00:48:36,418
and your message, Hastings,
it was most useful.

820
00:48:36,558 --> 00:48:38,426
Oh, good!

821
00:48:38,456 --> 00:48:41,383
- There is just one thing.
- What's that?

822
00:48:41,712 --> 00:48:44,210
With all this affair,
I have not been able to eat.

823
00:48:44,250 --> 00:48:46,358
Oh, I say.
That's a bit rough.

824
00:48:46,608 --> 00:48:49,365
Not going to be easy finding somewhere
at this time of night.

825
00:48:49,385 --> 00:48:51,004
Well, that is true.

826
00:48:52,422 --> 00:48:55,120
I do know one place, though.

827
00:49:02,212 --> 00:49:03,725
English cuisine!

828
00:49:03,725 --> 00:49:05,009
There is nothing like it in the world.

829
00:49:05,009 --> 00:49:06,658
You must agree, Poirot.

830
00:49:07,187 --> 00:49:09,355
Et bien, Hastings.
When it is cold and dark,

831
00:49:09,395 --> 00:49:12,613
and there is nothing else to eat,
it is...

832
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:15,928
... "passable".
