1
00:00:52,260 --> 00:00:54,535
Hello, darling.
Managed to slip away,

2
00:00:56,064 --> 00:00:59,374
but I think I sprained my bloody wrist.

3
00:01:02,136 --> 00:01:03,489
Oh, John...

4
00:01:23,406 --> 00:01:24,919
How is work?

5
00:01:25,165 --> 00:01:28,874
<i>Fine, thanks. I'm doing a big
abstract to the International Exhibition.</i>

6
00:01:31,024 --> 00:01:32,093
How's yours?

7
00:01:32,602 --> 00:01:34,991
I might be making some progress
in the Ridgeway's Disease.

8
00:01:35,161 --> 00:01:37,896
I've a patient in Hammersmith
Hospital, Mrs. Crabtree,

9
00:01:38,064 --> 00:01:39,861
she's a driver's wife, I believe,

10
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,272
she's dying of Ridgeway's.

11
00:01:41,784 --> 00:01:46,537
But she's allowed me to try
some new treatments on her.

12
00:01:46,436 --> 00:01:48,137
By God, she's got some spirit!

13
00:01:49,195 --> 00:01:51,614
Poor, frightened old thing that she is.

14
00:01:52,833 --> 00:01:56,842
And all I get from Gerda is,
"Why are you out so late?"

15
00:01:57,704 --> 00:01:59,501
Well, sometimes you're with me.

16
00:02:01,860 --> 00:02:04,822
Hmm, but all the time I'm married
to Gerda.

17
00:02:06,824 --> 00:02:09,338
It's what you wanted, isn't it?

18
00:02:10,984 --> 00:02:14,977
Yes.
Will I see you this weekend?

19
00:02:15,864 --> 00:02:18,332
- Yes. Are you going?
- Yes.

20
00:02:19,221 --> 00:02:21,916
- Well, that will be lovely.
- Yes. Henrietta, come here.

21
00:03:34,864 --> 00:03:36,695
<i>It's going to be a complete disaster.</i>

22
00:03:36,944 --> 00:03:39,058
It's always the same
when I invite Gerda.

23
00:03:39,306 --> 00:03:40,659
I wish I hadn't,

24
00:03:42,145 --> 00:03:44,733
but the worst thing is that
she's so terribly nice.

25
00:03:45,624 --> 00:03:48,018
One has to have her, of course,

26
00:03:48,902 --> 00:03:51,655
it would be so terribly rude
to invite John without her.

27
00:03:52,621 --> 00:03:55,135
On the other hand,
it does seem so odd, doen't it?

28
00:03:55,549 --> 00:03:59,984
Someone as nice as Gerda should be
so voyd of any kind of intelligence.

29
00:04:02,896 --> 00:04:06,661
I often think, if she had any spirit
at all, she'd stay away.

30
00:04:06,825 --> 00:04:08,737
Henrietta will help, of course.

31
00:04:10,303 --> 00:04:12,733
Strange how good Henrietta
is with Gerda.

32
00:04:13,302 --> 00:04:16,663
- What're you talking about, Lucy?
- The weekend is upon us, Midge.

33
00:04:16,904 --> 00:04:18,701
The guests will be arriving
any minute.

34
00:04:19,744 --> 00:04:22,417
And I'm just trusting to Henrietta
to make conversation,

35
00:04:22,784 --> 00:04:24,422
because John and Gerda...

36
00:04:25,864 --> 00:04:28,298
... it's a nightmare,
John and Gerda.

37
00:04:28,585 --> 00:04:30,142
Lucy, do you know what time it is?

38
00:04:31,784 --> 00:04:34,417
I'm sorry, darling,
I have absolutely no idea what time it is.

39
00:04:34,582 --> 00:04:36,145
It's a quarter past six!

40
00:04:37,622 --> 00:04:40,504
Midge, I am sorry!
Why didn't you tell me?

41
00:04:40,749 --> 00:04:44,542
Come, come, come,
go back to your dreams. Good night.

42
00:05:14,944 --> 00:05:16,092
Are you alright?

43
00:05:18,703 --> 00:05:19,812
I'm tired.

44
00:05:20,022 --> 00:05:21,531
A weekend in the country
will make you feel better.

45
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,541
Yes. Unfortunately,
Gerda is driving.

46
00:05:41,543 --> 00:05:43,897
- Victor!
- Mr. Poirot, sir, have a good trip?

47
00:05:44,421 --> 00:05:46,251
Without incident,
thank you. Victor,

48
00:05:48,810 --> 00:05:50,878
Victor, what is that smell?
- Smell?

49
00:05:51,208 --> 00:05:53,749
Can't smell anything, sir.
Just good country air.

50
00:06:06,142 --> 00:06:08,397
Collie, the telephone number
is on the pad, in the surgery.

51
00:06:08,441 --> 00:06:09,659
Call me if there's trouble.

52
00:06:09,820 --> 00:06:10,899
There'll be no trouble,
Dr. Christow.

53
00:06:11,069 --> 00:06:12,735
- Goodbye, children.
- Bye, daddy!

54
00:06:13,509 --> 00:06:14,692
Be good!

55
00:06:19,906 --> 00:06:21,135
It won't start.

56
00:06:22,984 --> 00:06:24,725
Switch on the ignition, Gerda!

57
00:06:29,022 --> 00:06:31,731
- I'm so stupid. I'm sorry.
- Let's just get there, shall we?

58
00:06:31,904 --> 00:06:34,658
I wish we could stay at home.
The Angkatell frighten the life out of me.

59
00:06:35,069 --> 00:06:37,815
- Goodbye, children!
- Bye mummy. Bye daddy!

60
00:06:57,349 --> 00:06:59,070
The weather's said fair
for the weekend.

61
00:06:59,308 --> 00:07:01,529
Everything's spick and span at the cottage,

62
00:07:01,918 --> 00:07:03,536
the wife's seen to that.

63
00:07:03,707 --> 00:07:05,675
I am sure I shall be
most comfortable.

64
00:07:06,625 --> 00:07:11,067
It will be a relief, I expect, escape
the fumes and stink of London.

65
00:07:16,464 --> 00:07:17,579
I say!

66
00:07:19,344 --> 00:07:20,618
<i>Milles tonnerres!</i>

67
00:07:25,697 --> 00:07:27,423
Why must you spent so many hours
at the hospital

68
00:07:27,576 --> 00:07:29,417
when you've a perfectly surgery
at home?

69
00:07:29,625 --> 00:07:32,982
<i>It's research, Gerda!
Research, as I've explained before.</i>

70
00:07:35,863 --> 00:07:38,371
- Why are you slowing?
- It might be about to turn red.

71
00:07:38,801 --> 00:07:41,655
- But it isn't, is it? It's green.
- Oh! Sorry...

72
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,295
I just become convinced
it'd suddenly...

73
00:07:55,974 --> 00:07:57,632
Oh, God, Gerda!

74
00:08:13,296 --> 00:08:14,705
Gudgeon!

75
00:08:17,464 --> 00:08:19,618
Hello, Midge!
Great to see you!

76
00:08:20,582 --> 00:08:22,896
- What a gorgeous car!
- He's a Legonda.

77
00:08:23,102 --> 00:08:24,650
Goes like the wind!

78
00:08:25,820 --> 00:08:27,012
Thank you, Gudgeon.

79
00:08:27,219 --> 00:08:29,069
- Hello, Lucy.
- Henrietta!

80
00:08:29,139 --> 00:08:31,015
Wonderful to see you.

81
00:08:31,748 --> 00:08:35,613
I supose that, by the time you take
that magificent steed of yours to the stable,

82
00:08:36,106 --> 00:08:38,132
give it a rub down and a nosebag,

83
00:08:38,305 --> 00:08:39,707
lunch might be ready.

84
00:08:42,173 --> 00:08:43,904
- Who's coming?
- The Christow.

85
00:08:44,262 --> 00:08:46,654
- And Edward's arriving after lunch.
- Good.

86
00:08:50,580 --> 00:08:52,719
Looks like you'll have some company,
Mr. Poirot.

87
00:08:53,318 --> 00:08:55,338
Someone has taken
the cottage next door.

88
00:09:05,503 --> 00:09:06,516
Mr. Poirot!

89
00:09:07,162 --> 00:09:08,641
<i>Enchanté, Madame.</i>

90
00:09:09,141 --> 00:09:10,896
Everything is beautiful,
as usual.

91
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,573
But tell me, someone has taken up
residence at Dovecotes?

92
00:09:14,339 --> 00:09:15,472
Yes, sir. A lady.

93
00:09:15,758 --> 00:09:17,140
An actress, they say.

94
00:09:32,621 --> 00:09:34,218
How's the dreaded dress shop?

95
00:09:36,229 --> 00:09:37,548
Bloody awful!

96
00:09:39,188 --> 00:09:40,905
- Hello there!
- Edward!

97
00:09:42,226 --> 00:09:43,265
Hello, Midge!

98
00:09:43,946 --> 00:09:44,979
Hello, Henrietta!

99
00:09:59,329 --> 00:10:04,542
But tell me, Madame Simms,
what is this?

100
00:10:06,386 --> 00:10:08,495
I did not expect any mail
to this address.

101
00:10:09,015 --> 00:10:11,090
It's from Lady Angkatell,
up at The Hollow.

102
00:10:15,872 --> 00:10:17,266
<i>Pour ce soir?</i>

103
00:10:20,100 --> 00:10:23,979
How are things at Ainswick,
Edward? Just as lovely as ever?

104
00:10:24,738 --> 00:10:26,119
Why don't you come and see?

105
00:10:31,145 --> 00:10:32,684
You're always welcome.

106
00:10:33,424 --> 00:10:34,403
Anytime.

107
00:10:35,083 --> 00:10:36,386
Anytime at all.

108
00:10:37,542 --> 00:10:38,811
You are sweet.

109
00:10:39,422 --> 00:10:41,157
And Ainswick is the best place
in the world.

110
00:10:42,130 --> 00:10:43,711
Do you remember our special tree?

111
00:10:43,879 --> 00:10:47,334
Igdrasil. The secret sign
we used to draw everywhere?

112
00:10:48,218 --> 00:10:49,370
Fancy a breath here?

113
00:11:00,343 --> 00:11:03,619
My God! Igdrasil.
Who drew that?

114
00:11:05,420 --> 00:11:06,533
You did.

115
00:11:18,584 --> 00:11:20,657
So, what've you been doing,
since I saw you last?

116
00:11:22,942 --> 00:11:23,975
Nothing.

117
00:11:25,461 --> 00:11:27,216
That sounds... peaceful.

118
00:11:29,509 --> 00:11:31,091
You could find peace

119
00:11:31,398 --> 00:11:33,034
at Ainswick, with me.

120
00:11:37,536 --> 00:11:39,858
I wish I wasn't so dreadfully
fond of you, Edward.

121
00:11:41,305 --> 00:11:44,613
Makes it so much harder to go on
saying " no".

122
00:11:47,222 --> 00:11:50,667
What you really mean is that you won't
marry me because of John Christow.

123
00:11:52,869 --> 00:11:54,784
- Why doesn't the fellow get a divorce?
- Because...

124
00:11:54,928 --> 00:11:56,156
That's it, isn't it?

125
00:11:56,628 --> 00:11:58,349
If there'd be no John Christow
in the world,

126
00:11:59,506 --> 00:12:00,904
you'd marry me.

127
00:12:05,703 --> 00:12:08,042
<i>I used to spent my holidays
with Edward, at Ainswick.</i>

128
00:12:08,703 --> 00:12:10,155
<i>It seemed so vast.</i>

129
00:12:10,504 --> 00:12:15,358
14.000 acres, is bound to be vast, Midge.
Oh, how I miss it!

130
00:12:15,779 --> 00:12:17,575
- Why didn't you inherit it, Lucy?
- Midge,

131
00:12:17,638 --> 00:12:21,787
you know very well girls don't inherit.
It's the way the world wags.

132
00:12:22,426 --> 00:12:25,816
Edward isn't even my cousin,
he's family's second cousin.

133
00:12:26,184 --> 00:12:27,533
But he's still in tail.

134
00:12:27,934 --> 00:12:30,747
Ainswick falls like rain,
right plop in his lap.

135
00:12:31,022 --> 00:12:34,214
- Aren't you remotely bitter about that?
- No, of course not.

136
00:12:34,421 --> 00:12:36,250
I've invited that crime fellow
for dinner.

137
00:12:37,389 --> 00:12:38,838
I'm sorry?

138
00:12:39,068 --> 00:12:41,132
That's why I was in your bedroom
so early, this morning.

139
00:12:41,328 --> 00:12:43,060
I had this premonition, you see.

140
00:12:43,507 --> 00:12:46,066
That we were to have
terrible foughts, for dinner.

141
00:12:46,265 --> 00:12:48,618
So, him being here,
just could be a distraction.

142
00:12:49,225 --> 00:12:50,697
What crime man, Lucy?

143
00:12:50,943 --> 00:12:53,735
He was in Bagdad
when Henry was High-Comissionary.

144
00:12:53,862 --> 00:12:56,504
He stays in one of those funny little cottages,
down the lane.

145
00:12:57,301 --> 00:12:59,814
I remember he wore this pink
flower on his button hole

146
00:13:00,419 --> 00:13:03,625
and he was solving something,
I can't quite remember what.

147
00:13:04,058 --> 00:13:07,737
But of course I'm not terribly interested
on who killed whom.

148
00:13:08,736 --> 00:13:10,577
I mean, once you're dead,
you're dead

149
00:13:11,015 --> 00:13:12,652
it doesn't matter why, does it?

150
00:13:17,942 --> 00:13:19,265
I'm no good in anything.

151
00:13:19,931 --> 00:13:21,667
I don't know why you ever married me.

152
00:13:22,730 --> 00:13:25,181
You needed taking care of,
that's why I married you.

153
00:13:26,548 --> 00:13:28,029
I try to be a good wife, John.

154
00:13:29,867 --> 00:13:31,523
This may not be
the best time to tell you...

155
00:13:31,746 --> 00:13:33,099
You know I love you, don't you?

156
00:13:33,545 --> 00:13:35,501
Of course I know,
but I have to warn you...

157
00:13:35,364 --> 00:13:37,013
No one else, just you.

158
00:13:37,143 --> 00:13:40,040
We'll never make it
to Shovel Down in third.

159
00:14:15,506 --> 00:14:17,177
Very fair shooting, Edward.

160
00:14:17,946 --> 00:14:19,637
Now, there.
Your turn, Henrietta.

161
00:14:21,703 --> 00:14:23,253
See if you can kill
a burglar.

162
00:14:29,060 --> 00:14:31,574
- Well done!
- No, you only winged him.

163
00:14:31,820 --> 00:14:33,410
Hello, everyone! Hello, Henry!

164
00:14:33,678 --> 00:14:36,537
- It's the Christow!
- Hello. So sorry we're late.

165
00:14:36,737 --> 00:14:39,488
Not at all, not at all, just in time
for sporting target practice.

166
00:14:40,106 --> 00:14:42,170
Nice to see you, John.
Now then, Gerda, come along.

167
00:14:42,334 --> 00:14:44,062
- Try to put one in bullseye.

168
00:14:44,254 --> 00:14:45,848
<i>I've never tried.</i>

169
00:14:45,783 --> 00:14:47,372
- Hello, darling.
- Darling.

170
00:14:47,492 --> 00:14:49,533
- I think you may have met Midge Hardcastle?
- Yes, of course.

171
00:14:50,701 --> 00:14:51,891
And of course you know my
second cousin, Edward.

172
00:14:52,060 --> 00:14:53,623
- How do you do, Edward?
- Hello, John.

173
00:14:53,860 --> 00:14:56,378
<i>- What's going on?
- Henry's brought the artillery.</i>

174
00:14:56,748 --> 00:14:57,853
Has he indeed?

175
00:15:06,524 --> 00:15:07,243
I sprang my bloody wrist.

176
00:15:07,923 --> 00:15:09,142
Careful.

177
00:15:12,902 --> 00:15:14,708
Did I miss? I bet I missed.

178
00:15:15,940 --> 00:15:17,822
My turn, is it?

179
00:15:17,999 --> 00:15:20,957
Gerda, how lovely to see you!

180
00:15:22,856 --> 00:15:24,255
Thank you, Henry.

181
00:15:27,425 --> 00:15:28,648
Come along, Gudgeon.

182
00:15:37,270 --> 00:15:38,608
I say, Lucy!

183
00:15:39,230 --> 00:15:41,497
That's nothing. Once,
on the Asian side of the Bosphorus,

184
00:15:41,788 --> 00:15:43,220
I was jumped by a couple of thugs.

185
00:15:43,727 --> 00:15:46,187
We were rolling about in the dirt, we were.
Then, before I knew it,

186
00:15:46,307 --> 00:15:48,731
she'd shot one in the leg
and one in stomach.

187
00:15:49,185 --> 00:15:50,906
How she didn't hit me,
God alone knows!

188
00:15:51,544 --> 00:15:52,578
It's quite simple!

189
00:15:52,774 --> 00:15:56,173
You do it very quickly
and you don't think about it, Henry.

190
00:15:59,141 --> 00:16:02,807
Sena has in ballet class.
Point shoes, the whole lot.

191
00:16:03,389 --> 00:16:04,781
- And Terence?
- Chemistry.

192
00:16:05,218 --> 00:16:06,868
Always trying to blow things up.

193
00:16:07,747 --> 00:16:09,255
He's planning to make nitroglycerine
while were away.

194
00:16:11,135 --> 00:16:13,095
- But don't tell John anything.
- Oh, I shan't.

195
00:16:13,295 --> 00:16:17,260
- And you?
- Oh, I've taken up Leathercraft.

196
00:16:18,942 --> 00:16:20,265
Do you like this?

197
00:16:20,651 --> 00:16:21,683
I made it.

198
00:16:24,909 --> 00:16:26,405
It's so nice talking to you.

199
00:16:28,108 --> 00:16:29,692
But I suppose it will soon
be time for dinner.

200
00:16:31,866 --> 00:16:32,721
Gerda...

201
00:16:32,926 --> 00:16:35,645
... why do you come here
if you hate it so much?

202
00:16:36,944 --> 00:16:38,321
I want John to be happy.

203
00:16:39,143 --> 00:16:42,134
- He could come without you.
- No, he wouldn't like that.

204
00:16:43,721 --> 00:16:45,618
He wouldn't enjoy it without me.
He said so.

205
00:16:47,580 --> 00:16:48,983
<i>John is overly unselfish.</i>

206
00:16:51,138 --> 00:16:52,808
I'd rather stay in Harley Street,
to be frank,

207
00:16:53,027 --> 00:16:55,031
but he thinks it is good for me,
to get out into the country.

208
00:16:55,536 --> 00:16:56,954
Oh, the country's alright.

209
00:16:57,545 --> 00:16:59,379
No need to throw in the Angkatells

210
00:17:00,934 --> 00:17:04,249
We're an odious family.
Come on, let's go in and get changed.

211
00:17:04,622 --> 00:17:06,627
There's some sort of detective
coming in, apparently.

212
00:17:14,184 --> 00:17:15,219
You wouldn't believe it.

213
00:17:15,384 --> 00:17:16,612
Monsieur Poirot has habilities

214
00:17:16,784 --> 00:17:18,615
one has to say,
quite phenomenal.

215
00:17:18,785 --> 00:17:21,203
It's absolutely true, the talk about
there was in Bagdad.

216
00:17:21,465 --> 00:17:24,178
Monsieur Poirot
and his little "green" cells.

217
00:17:24,703 --> 00:17:26,115
Grey, Madame.

218
00:17:27,402 --> 00:17:30,661
Pardon me. But we're awfully lucky
to have him as a neighbour.

219
00:17:30,860 --> 00:17:32,930
I mean, in case anything went wrong.

220
00:17:52,021 --> 00:17:54,165
Would you give it all up
if  I asked you to?

221
00:17:55,180 --> 00:17:56,202
And come and live with me?

222
00:17:56,529 --> 00:17:57,457
No.

223
00:17:59,028 --> 00:17:59,902
No?

224
00:18:02,067 --> 00:18:03,517
It's not really what you want.

225
00:18:04,346 --> 00:18:06,261
Couldn't you lie to me,
just once?

226
00:18:06,784 --> 00:18:08,773
- Why?
- Because I love you, Henrietta.

227
00:18:09,384 --> 00:18:13,343
But you're so... damn it all,
so detached.

228
00:18:14,141 --> 00:18:18,028
Your art, your cars,
your friends.

229
00:18:18,269 --> 00:18:19,935
I want you to think
you only need me.

230
00:18:20,508 --> 00:18:21,820
Isn't that what Gerda does?

231
00:18:22,108 --> 00:18:24,332
Don't you tell me you care a damn
about Gerda.

232
00:18:26,256 --> 00:18:27,748
Why not?

233
00:18:28,095 --> 00:18:29,533
I like Gerda.

234
00:18:34,542 --> 00:18:36,884
- Dinner, Milady.
- Thank you, Gudgeon

235
00:18:38,621 --> 00:18:40,266
Please, Monsieur Poirot.
Come this way.

236
00:18:40,421 --> 00:18:41,536
<i>Merci.</i>

237
00:18:43,984 --> 00:18:45,384
Has anyone seen John?

238
00:18:51,185 --> 00:18:52,524
Well, the customers are awful!

239
00:18:52,524 --> 00:18:54,143
One has to put up with far more insolence

240
00:18:54,304 --> 00:18:55,624
in a dress shop
than Gudgeon

241
00:18:55,783 --> 00:18:57,932
or Simmons or any decent
domestic does here.

242
00:18:58,102 --> 00:19:00,173
It must be absolute hell, darling.

243
00:19:00,701 --> 00:19:02,850
But why does one has
to be so proud?

244
00:19:03,224 --> 00:19:07,373
Anyone having to earn one's living,
doesn't have to be the end, has it?

245
00:19:08,017 --> 00:19:09,932
It's all about self-esteem,
surely?

246
00:19:10,507 --> 00:19:11,826
You're the expert on that.

247
00:19:15,944 --> 00:19:17,719
So, how do you do it then,
Monsieur Poirot?

248
00:19:20,752 --> 00:19:22,174
I beg your pardon, <i>Mademoiselle?</i>

249
00:19:22,421 --> 00:19:24,141
To solve so many crimes?

250
00:19:27,829 --> 00:19:30,327
Merely I use the process
of the thought logic

251
00:19:30,948 --> 00:19:32,900
and once the process
it has been applied,

252
00:19:33,626 --> 00:19:36,205
alors, the mistery
becomes <i>éclairé</i>

253
00:19:36,565 --> 00:19:39,360
<i>and the criminal mind
it is uncovered.</i>

254
00:19:39,624 --> 00:19:42,859
But that assumes that you're
cleverer than the criminal, doesn't it?

255
00:19:43,542 --> 00:19:46,344
I am not sure that it does, Mademoiselle.
Logically.

256
00:19:47,300 --> 00:19:48,583
Oh, I think it does.

257
00:19:48,949 --> 00:19:51,904
What happens if you come across one
who's cleverer than yourself?

258
00:19:53,148 --> 00:19:56,016
This is not the highest probability,
<i>Mademoiselle</i>.

259
00:19:58,266 --> 00:19:59,859
Have you ever been to Deauville,
<i>Monsieur...?

260
00:20:00,305 --> 00:20:02,951
Careful, sir. Henrietta
has a very sharp tongue.

261
00:20:10,740 --> 00:20:14,867
After dinner, we use to
play games. Perhaps charades.

262
00:20:15,948 --> 00:20:18,291
But tonight I think it would be
most appropriate,

263
00:20:18,627 --> 00:20:20,692
<i>if we were to essay
the Murder Game.</i>

264
00:20:21,025 --> 00:20:23,758
Lucy, don't you think Monsieur Poirot
would be rather bored...

265
00:20:23,904 --> 00:20:26,547
Someone has to pretend to be dead.
Murdered.

266
00:20:26,783 --> 00:20:30,219
And then we all have to find out
who did it. It's such fun!

267
00:20:30,741 --> 00:20:32,650
It usually turns out to be Gudgeon.

268
00:20:33,420 --> 00:20:36,387
Lady Angkatell,
it's a proposition that is most delightful,

269
00:20:36,548 --> 00:20:39,457
but I'm one who retires early to his bed.

270
00:20:39,947 --> 00:20:42,210
Your dinner, it was superb.

271
00:20:42,985 --> 00:20:44,424
<i>Mademoiselle,</i>

272
00:20:44,985 --> 00:20:47,657
I hope that we shall resume
our conversation at another time.

273
00:20:48,353 --> 00:20:50,019
I'd like that, <i>Monsieur Poirot.

274
00:20:51,382 --> 00:20:53,291
- Sir Henry.
- Mr. Poirot.

275
00:20:53,501 --> 00:20:55,650
An evening that was most delightful.

276
00:20:55,870 --> 00:20:57,013
- Thank you.
- Thank you.

277
00:20:57,189 --> 00:20:59,542
I know!
You must come to lunch tomorrow.

278
00:20:59,748 --> 00:21:02,164
Oh, yes! He must, mustn't he?

279
00:21:02,867 --> 00:21:04,977
<i>Pardon,</i>
but tomorrow I am <i>engagé.</i>

280
00:21:05,226 --> 00:21:08,443
Nonsense, there's absolutely
nothing to do around here,

281
00:21:08,044 --> 00:21:10,579
for miles and miles and miles.

282
00:21:11,183 --> 00:21:13,907
I insist you come to our sunday
lunch.

283
00:21:14,042 --> 00:21:15,155
Henry, tell him

284
00:21:15,281 --> 00:21:18,429
I do not take kindly to being disobeyed.

285
00:21:18,500 --> 00:21:20,232
We'd be very pleased to have you, old man.

286
00:21:21,709 --> 00:21:25,214
<i>Et bien.</i>
It will be my pleasure to attend.

287
00:21:25,577 --> 00:21:26,812
Thank you.

288
00:21:27,266 --> 00:21:28,385
<i>Bonne nuit.</i>

289
00:21:28,546 --> 00:21:29,547
Good night, Mr. Poirot.

290
00:21:29,708 --> 00:21:30,938
- Good night.
- Good night.

291
00:21:37,941 --> 00:21:39,150
Ace of diamonds.

292
00:21:40,220 --> 00:21:42,940
Why on earth did you lead
that diamond, Gerda?

293
00:21:44,269 --> 00:21:47,330
Oh! I... was it wrong?

294
00:21:47,628 --> 00:21:49,852
Don't be absurd,
she had to lead the diamond.

295
00:21:50,023 --> 00:21:51,623
The only sane thing to do.

296
00:22:00,822 --> 00:22:02,452
Game and rubber. Well done.

297
00:22:02,620 --> 00:22:05,624
- Wait, did we win?
- A lucky finesse!

298
00:22:20,863 --> 00:22:23,585
- You cheated.
- Was it obvious?

299
00:22:24,661 --> 00:22:26,302
So that Gerda would win.

300
00:22:28,509 --> 00:22:30,498
Honesty means nothing to you,
does it?

301
00:22:32,627 --> 00:22:33,941
Good evening!

302
00:22:34,747 --> 00:22:38,700
- Who the devil are you?
- Veronica Cray, Sir Henry.

303
00:22:39,344 --> 00:22:41,818
Please, please, forgive me for barging in upon you like this.

304
00:22:41,983 --> 00:22:43,866
I'm in the dinky little house up the lane

305
00:22:44,862 --> 00:22:46,901
and I've had the most frightful
catastrophe.

306
00:22:47,261 --> 00:22:49,541
Please, come on in.
Henry, close the window.

307
00:22:52,039 --> 00:22:53,377
What happened?

308
00:22:53,588 --> 00:22:56,619
I've run out of matches.
On a Saturday night!

309
00:22:55,957 --> 00:22:58,187
And I smoke like a chimney... truly.

310
00:22:58,826 --> 00:23:02,075
I feel a complete fool,
but there's not a match in Dovecotes

311
00:23:02,225 --> 00:23:05,709
so I've come to beg some from my
only neighbours within miles and...

312
00:23:07,422 --> 00:23:10,805
- My God!
- Hello, Veronica.

313
00:23:11,540 --> 00:23:14,298
My God, it's John Christow!

314
00:23:16,308 --> 00:23:17,576
Matches, was it?

315
00:23:17,747 --> 00:23:20,258
<i>This is too, too extraordinary!</i>

316
00:23:20,826 --> 00:23:22,063
- Do you know each other?
- We did...

317
00:23:22,306 --> 00:23:26,057
... a long time ago.
- Yes, John's an old friend.

318
00:23:26,583 --> 00:23:29,304
<i>He was the first guy
I was ever in love with.</i>

319
00:23:30,542 --> 00:23:32,936
Midge, would you kindly ring the bell?

320
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:35,746
I thought you were just wonderful!

321
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,974
<i>Weren't we really madly
in love?</i>

322
00:23:38,588 --> 00:23:40,545
Veronica, this is my wife.

323
00:23:42,947 --> 00:23:44,455
How lovely to meet you.

324
00:23:46,535 --> 00:23:47,979
Ah, Gudgeon,

325
00:23:48,264 --> 00:23:50,457
tell me, do we have plenty of matches
in the house?

326
00:23:50,983 --> 00:23:53,372
<i>- A dozen boxes came today, milady.
- Excellent.</i>

327
00:23:53,631 --> 00:23:57,219
- Would you kindly get six?
- Very good, milady.

328
00:23:59,149 --> 00:24:01,337
And... how do you like Dovecotes?

329
00:24:01,808 --> 00:24:05,211
Oh, I adore it! It's so cute
and so close to London...

330
00:24:05,427 --> 00:24:07,611
And, yet, we feel
so gloriously isolated.

331
00:24:09,544 --> 00:24:13,001
We kindda lost touch
when I went to California, didn't we?

332
00:24:13,703 --> 00:24:16,533
- You've been to California?
- Oh, I live there, actually.

333
00:24:16,702 --> 00:24:18,457
I just popped over to do a little play.

334
00:24:19,061 --> 00:24:20,669
One has to keep one's hand in,

335
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,094
and say hello to
Shaftesbury Avenue and all that.

336
00:24:23,919 --> 00:24:26,898
My dear Lady Angkatell,
I surely won't need all these.

337
00:24:27,067 --> 00:24:28,624
We have plenty in the house.

338
00:24:29,016 --> 00:24:33,158
Besides, I always think
it's rather tiresome

339
00:24:33,365 --> 00:24:34,385
only having one of a thing, don't you?

340
00:24:34,743 --> 00:24:37,065
This is very kind
of you, thank you.

341
00:24:38,702 --> 00:24:40,501
Will you see me back to my cottage?

342
00:24:41,331 --> 00:24:44,102
I want dreadfully to know
what you've been up to

343
00:24:44,229 --> 00:24:47,338
in all those years and years,
since I've seen you.

344
00:24:48,347 --> 00:24:51,320
I'm so sorry to have bothered you
in this pathetic way, Lady Angkatell,

345
00:24:52,105 --> 00:24:53,904
- Night, night.
- Good night.

346
00:25:11,958 --> 00:25:14,177
- That was Veronica Cray!
- Indeed.

347
00:25:14,906 --> 00:25:16,936
We must catch up
one of her pictures, Henry.

348
00:25:17,735 --> 00:25:20,174
If that little performance is anything
to go by,

349
00:25:20,464 --> 00:25:23,186
we will certainly get our money's worth.

350
00:25:25,424 --> 00:25:29,337
- I assure it's true
- It can't be!

351
00:25:29,628 --> 00:25:32,624
- I'm not joking...
- No, it's not true!

352
00:25:33,104 --> 00:25:34,253
It is true.

353
00:25:58,264 --> 00:25:59,856
Come on, John. Come on.

354
00:27:49,984 --> 00:27:51,177
What time is it?

355
00:27:53,144 --> 00:27:54,892
Uh... I've-- I've no idea.

356
00:27:56,985 --> 00:27:58,093
Sorry to wake you.

357
00:28:00,743 --> 00:28:03,176
I had to go in for a drink
with the woman.

358
00:28:05,500 --> 00:28:07,939
Good night, John.

359
00:28:09,499 --> 00:28:10,648
Good night.

360
00:28:20,984 --> 00:28:22,283
Morning.

361
00:28:23,394 --> 00:28:25,146
- Morning.
- Morning.

362
00:28:26,551 --> 00:28:28,381
We're shooting after breakfast.

363
00:28:29,551 --> 00:28:32,148
- We might bag a few pigeon.
- You wanna come?

364
00:28:34,148 --> 00:28:35,092
No, thanks.

365
00:28:36,448 --> 00:28:38,617
I feel a bit shattered,
to be honest.

366
00:28:49,222 --> 00:28:50,231
For me?

367
00:28:50,541 --> 00:28:52,140
It came this morning, sir.

368
00:30:13,944 --> 00:30:15,555
We have to talk about our future.

369
00:30:16,123 --> 00:30:18,067
I'm sorry?

370
00:30:18,642 --> 00:30:22,121
Our future, John!
We've wasted 12 years.

371
00:30:25,460 --> 00:30:27,869
I'm not going back to the States.

372
00:30:27,988 --> 00:30:29,707
I'm going to make my life here,
with you.

373
00:30:32,696 --> 00:30:34,911
You've this...

374
00:30:34,985 --> 00:30:37,493
... you've got this
taped out all wrong.

375
00:30:39,373 --> 00:30:41,785
We had quite a time together,
last night, but Veronica, you know

376
00:30:42,891 --> 00:30:44,974
our lives are completely
divergent.

377
00:30:45,851 --> 00:30:47,891
I mean, when we split up,
12 years ago,

378
00:30:48,589 --> 00:30:51,497
well,... that was just it.
We split up.

379
00:30:52,707 --> 00:30:54,613
<i>We didn't split up.
You ditched me.</i>

380
00:30:54,966 --> 00:30:57,179
<i>I was your fiancée
and you ditched me!</i>

381
00:30:58,265 --> 00:30:59,613
I couldn't go with you to Hollywood.

382
00:30:59,784 --> 00:31:00,999
I had to finish Med School.

383
00:31:01,084 --> 00:31:02,499
Of course, to being a doctor.

384
00:31:02,822 --> 00:31:05,062
<i>Well, you go on being a doctor,
I don't mind.</i>

385
00:31:05,902 --> 00:31:08,815
My dear girl, I'm married.
I have children!

386
00:31:10,359 --> 00:31:11,480
I know.

387
00:31:11,508 --> 00:31:14,928
I'm married myself,
at the moment.

388
00:31:16,616 --> 00:31:18,895
It's nothing a good divorce lawyer
can't fix.

389
00:31:20,386 --> 00:31:22,615
John...
I always did want to be your wife.

390
00:31:23,064 --> 00:31:25,550
<i>You see, I have this passion,</i>

391
00:31:27,224 --> 00:31:29,496
<i>this overpowering passion!</i>

392
00:31:30,291 --> 00:31:31,389
- We have to be together.
- No.

393
00:31:31,464 --> 00:31:33,694
That is not going to happen!

394
00:31:33,864 --> 00:31:36,419
- But last night...
- Last night...?

395
00:31:37,507 --> 00:31:39,354
Look, you're not a child!

396
00:31:39,627 --> 00:31:41,565
Last night was a one off.

397
00:31:45,144 --> 00:31:46,577
Are you saying you don't love me?

398
00:31:47,443 --> 00:31:51,082
You are a very,
very alluring woman, Veronica,

399
00:31:51,304 --> 00:31:54,188
but I don't...
love you, no.

400
00:31:56,989 --> 00:31:59,298
I came all this way to find you!

401
00:31:59,508 --> 00:32:01,089
Waited in this ghastly hovel

402
00:32:01,344 --> 00:32:03,140
for the weekend
for you to be here!

403
00:32:03,676 --> 00:32:04,871
You see I knew...

404
00:32:04,955 --> 00:32:07,583
... that if we could be,
just once more, together,

405
00:32:07,791 --> 00:32:09,621
... just once more

406
00:32:09,783 --> 00:32:11,883
You-- you planned it?

407
00:32:12,622 --> 00:32:15,246
You belong to me, John.
You're mine!

408
00:32:17,010 --> 00:32:18,163
When I was young man,

409
00:32:18,189 --> 00:32:20,617
I wanted to share my life with you
and you wouldn't do it.

410
00:32:20,784 --> 00:32:23,608
Because my career is so much more
important than yours.

411
00:32:23,747 --> 00:32:25,745
Anyone can be a doctor.

412
00:32:27,984 --> 00:32:29,857
You're a nasty piece of work!

413
00:32:29,984 --> 00:32:33,855
<i>You leave me again,
I'll really make you sorry!</i>

414
00:32:34,223 --> 00:32:35,957
So be it!

415
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:40,513
Goodbye.

416
00:32:41,629 --> 00:32:44,940
I hate you more than I thought
I could hate anyone!

417
00:35:06,026 --> 00:35:07,299
Good day, sir.

418
00:35:07,825 --> 00:35:10,817
<i>Lady Angkatell would like you
to come to the pavillion, sir,</i>

419
00:35:11,068 --> 00:35:12,418
for a glass of cherry.

420
00:35:13,542 --> 00:35:16,291
- Out of doors?
- Would you care to follow me, sir?

421
00:35:32,741 --> 00:35:33,891
<i>Merci.</i>

422
00:35:37,462 --> 00:35:38,781
Milady?

423
00:35:46,178 --> 00:35:48,226
I see that you are playing
the "Murder Game".

424
00:35:48,957 --> 00:35:51,023
<i>Alors, très bien.</i>

425
00:35:51,176 --> 00:35:53,227
I congratulate you all.

426
00:36:15,065 --> 00:36:16,384
Henrietta...

427
00:36:21,902 --> 00:36:24,258
- Allow me, madam.
- Give that to me, Gerda!

428
00:36:24,421 --> 00:36:25,695
<i>Mademoiselle</i>, do no...

429
00:36:38,395 --> 00:36:41,269
Poirot? What's happened?

430
00:36:41,864 --> 00:36:43,665
Gerda has mur... I mean...

431
00:36:43,902 --> 00:36:45,570
John has been shot.

432
00:36:47,341 --> 00:36:48,670
He's dead.

433
00:36:57,386 --> 00:36:59,561
Isn't really my line, murder.

434
00:36:59,786 --> 00:37:02,618
<i>Non</i>, but the procedure
it has been followed quite correctly

435
00:37:03,624 --> 00:37:05,213
and, until the police arrive,

436
00:37:05,383 --> 00:37:08,343
all we can do is to ensure
that the body it is undisturbed.

437
00:37:08,502 --> 00:37:10,972
<i>and that nobody tampers
with the evidence.</i>

438
00:37:11,780 --> 00:37:14,090
It's... it's a bit chilly.

439
00:37:14,709 --> 00:37:18,137
- You alright if we wait in the pavillion?
<i>- Oui, bien sûr.</i>

440
00:37:36,269 --> 00:37:37,453
<i>Can I offer you a cherry?</i>

441
00:37:37,669 --> 00:37:40,623
<i>Non, merci</i>.
It's better not to touch.

442
00:37:40,828 --> 00:37:42,109
- I suppose we can smoke.
<i>- Oui.</i>

443
00:37:42,147 --> 00:37:43,658
<i>Non, non, merci.</i>

444
00:37:45,465 --> 00:37:47,753
A very able fellow, Christow.
Very able.

445
00:37:51,863 --> 00:37:53,922
Slightly too able,
if you take my meaning.

446
00:37:58,789 --> 00:38:01,134
I just don't know what to do about lunch.

447
00:38:01,909 --> 00:38:04,338
It seems so heartless
to be seating around a table,

448
00:38:04,507 --> 00:38:07,416
stuffing oneself
as if nothing had happened.

449
00:38:07,706 --> 00:38:09,287
Don't worry on my account, Lucy.

450
00:38:10,095 --> 00:38:13,056
God bless you, dear Edward,
but say what you will,

451
00:38:13,503 --> 00:38:15,856
murder is a very awkward thing.

452
00:38:16,422 --> 00:38:20,468
It upsets the servants so,
breaks whole routine out.

453
00:38:21,380 --> 00:38:23,644
The worst of all, it was duck
for lunch,

454
00:38:24,308 --> 00:38:25,810
my very, very favourite!

455
00:38:26,667 --> 00:38:28,658
What about Gerda, Midge?

456
00:38:29,026 --> 00:38:31,414
Perhaps something on a tray
would be good.

457
00:38:32,105 --> 00:38:35,581
I've placed sandwiches and some coffe
in the dining-room, milady.

458
00:38:35,724 --> 00:38:37,895
Gudgeon, thank you!

459
00:38:42,461 --> 00:38:45,015
Gudgeon really is a jewel, you know?

460
00:38:45,829 --> 00:38:49,369
And a proper, substantial sandwich
is as good as lunch.

461
00:38:49,907 --> 00:38:52,217
And there's nothing remotely heartless
about them,

462
00:38:52,388 --> 00:38:53,818
if you know what I mean.

463
00:38:54,145 --> 00:38:56,979
- Lucy, don't! This is all so awful!
- Oh! Midge!

464
00:38:58,423 --> 00:38:59,771
Don't cry, little Midge.

465
00:39:12,087 --> 00:39:13,932
Monsieur Poirot,
this is Inspector Grange.

466
00:39:14,226 --> 00:39:15,572
I expect you've heard
about Monsieur Poirot.

467
00:39:15,746 --> 00:39:17,624
- I most certainly have.
- Inspector.

468
00:39:18,145 --> 00:39:20,613
May I ask you what brings you
to these "neck o da woods"?

469
00:39:21,183 --> 00:39:23,458
Well, I visit this "neck of the woods",
Inspector,

470
00:39:23,664 --> 00:39:25,179
for the weekends.

471
00:39:25,342 --> 00:39:27,074
My friends persuaded me
to purchase a cottage here.

472
00:39:27,220 --> 00:39:29,655
It is the second one, in that way,
along the lane.

473
00:39:30,119 --> 00:39:32,091
Are you fond of the countryside,
aren't you, sir?

474
00:39:32,228 --> 00:39:33,700
<i>Le paysage</i> is most,</i>

475
00:39:34,387 --> 00:39:36,188
except for the trees,
have this untidy habit

476
00:39:36,349 --> 00:39:37,749
of dropping leaves.

477
00:39:39,905 --> 00:39:43,344
And that path leads to the lane,
you say?

478
00:39:43,554 --> 00:39:44,539
<i>Oui.</i>

479
00:39:44,703 --> 00:39:45,953
And that path leads to the farm

480
00:39:46,024 --> 00:39:47,904
and that's where
Lady Angkatell came?

481
00:39:48,051 --> 00:39:50,180
Edward Angkatell and Miss Savernake

482
00:39:50,341 --> 00:39:52,081
came from the woods separately

483
00:39:52,429 --> 00:39:55,095
and then they stood there and there?

484
00:39:55,548 --> 00:39:58,663
<i>Oui,</i> it was like one
<i>mis-en-scène</i> from the theatre.

485
00:40:05,344 --> 00:40:06,772
I'm giving Gerda some brandy.

486
00:40:07,143 --> 00:40:08,894
Oh, how thoughtful of you, Henrietta.

487
00:40:09,742 --> 00:40:11,491
Yes, I was remembering,
we were given a brandy,

488
00:40:11,661 --> 00:40:13,628
for shock, when I was a little girl,
at Ainswick.

489
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:17,349
Of course, I suppose it's not
exactly a shock with Gerda, is it?

490
00:40:18,228 --> 00:40:19,995
Personally, I don't know

491
00:40:20,147 --> 00:40:23,107
how I would feel
if I'd just murdered my husband,

492
00:40:24,056 --> 00:40:28,507
but wouldn't exactly be shock,
would it?

493
00:40:28,664 --> 00:40:30,568
I mean, there wouldn't be
no element of surprise.

494
00:40:30,703 --> 00:40:32,613
Why are you so sure
that Gerda killed John?

495
00:40:32,782 --> 00:40:34,219
It seems so evident.

496
00:40:35,541 --> 00:40:36,137
Why, what else do you suggest?

497
00:40:37,300 --> 00:40:39,224
Isn't it possible that Gerda
came along to the pool,

498
00:40:39,389 --> 00:40:40,781
found John lying there

499
00:40:40,988 --> 00:40:43,897
and just picked up the revolver
when we came on the scene?

500
00:40:48,625 --> 00:40:51,263
This is what Gerda says?

501
00:40:52,233 --> 00:40:53,857
Yes.

502
00:40:57,700 --> 00:41:00,779
Oh! Well,

503
00:41:02,308 --> 00:41:07,184
fortunately, duck is...

504
00:41:07,305 --> 00:41:08,995
quite pleasant cold.

505
00:41:09,465 --> 00:41:11,105
I couldn't lie down any longer.

506
00:41:14,543 --> 00:41:16,264
I still can't believe
that it's real.

507
00:41:17,822 --> 00:41:19,174
That John is dead.

508
00:41:20,584 --> 00:41:22,069
Who could have killed him?

509
00:41:22,820 --> 00:41:24,620
Who could possibly
have killed John?

510
00:41:33,685 --> 00:41:35,351
This is my wife, Inspector Grange.

511
00:41:36,374 --> 00:41:37,868
Lady Angkatell.

512
00:41:38,543 --> 00:41:40,932
I was hoping to have a word
with Mrs. Christow.

513
00:41:41,462 --> 00:41:42,736
There she is.

514
00:41:46,060 --> 00:41:48,938
- Mrs. Christow?
- Yes, I'm Gerda Christow.

515
00:41:49,618 --> 00:41:51,256
I should just want to ask you a few--

516
00:41:51,377 --> 00:41:53,208
He was a wonderful doctor.

517
00:41:53,697 --> 00:41:55,927
So kind, so unselfish.

518
00:41:56,775 --> 00:41:59,972
The best of husbands.
Who could've wanted to kill him?

519
00:42:00,614 --> 00:42:02,923
What exactly happened,
Mrs. Christow?

520
00:42:03,452 --> 00:42:04,851
It was all so sudden...

521
00:42:06,971 --> 00:42:08,199
I went out from the house,

522
00:42:09,530 --> 00:42:11,988
and along the path
to the swimming pool...

523
00:42:12,048 --> 00:42:13,567
What time was this?

524
00:42:14,328 --> 00:42:17,718
About 12:58. I noticed the clock.

525
00:42:19,445 --> 00:42:20,878
And, when I got there,

526
00:42:21,764 --> 00:42:23,482
there was John, lying there,

527
00:42:24,483 --> 00:42:26,280
and blood...

528
00:42:27,042 --> 00:42:28,998
- Did you hear the shoot?
- Yes.

529
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,516
No... I don't know.

530
00:42:33,119 --> 00:42:35,553
Sir Henry and Edward
were out shooting.

531
00:42:35,878 --> 00:42:39,473
I just saw John... blood
and a revolver.

532
00:42:40,196 --> 00:42:42,790
- And I picked up the revolver...
- Why?

533
00:42:45,313 --> 00:42:46,507
I beg your pardon?

534
00:42:46,673 --> 00:42:48,391
Why did you pick it up?

535
00:42:51,471 --> 00:42:52,824
I don't know.

536
00:42:54,310 --> 00:42:56,062
Shouldn't I have?

537
00:43:08,024 --> 00:43:10,936
So you have decided that
Madame Christow shot her husband?

538
00:43:12,621 --> 00:43:14,452
Yes, sir. Don't you think she did it?

539
00:43:16,580 --> 00:43:18,616
It could have happened
as she said.

540
00:43:18,779 --> 00:43:22,249
Yes, could have.
But it's a very thin story.

541
00:43:23,577 --> 00:43:25,454
They all think she did it.

542
00:43:27,135 --> 00:43:29,365
And you thought she'd done it,
didn't you?

543
00:43:29,894 --> 00:43:32,010
When you first arrived
on the scene...

544
00:43:32,892 --> 00:43:34,610
I am not sure what I thought.

545
00:43:35,732 --> 00:43:38,451
Something was not <i>exactement</i>
as it should have been.

546
00:43:41,609 --> 00:43:43,122
What's that?

547
00:43:44,807 --> 00:43:46,559
Looks like leather work, sir.

548
00:43:49,286 --> 00:43:51,675
- Oh, right.
- Sir, we got the weapon.

549
00:43:53,164 --> 00:43:54,438
Come on, pick it up.

550
00:43:55,243 --> 00:43:59,077
Been in the pool, destroyed any
fingerprints that might have been on it.

551
00:44:03,919 --> 00:44:05,511
Yes, it comes from my collection.

552
00:44:06,558 --> 00:44:08,469
It's my hobby, Inspector.

553
00:44:14,834 --> 00:44:17,712
- When did you last see this one?
- Yesterday afternoon.

554
00:44:17,873 --> 00:44:19,943
We were doing some target practice.

555
00:44:20,272 --> 00:44:22,342
Who actually fired the gun
on that occasion?

556
00:44:22,551 --> 00:44:24,940
I think we all had at least
one shot with it.

557
00:44:25,070 --> 00:44:27,300
- Including Gerda Christow?
- Including Gerda Christow.

558
00:44:27,428 --> 00:44:29,020
And after the shooting?

559
00:44:29,148 --> 00:44:31,821
I put the firearm back
in its usual place.

560
00:44:37,464 --> 00:44:40,217
Will Sir Henry be requiring a late supper, milady?

561
00:44:40,383 --> 00:44:41,702
There is some duck leftover.

562
00:44:42,782 --> 00:44:46,411
No, Gudgeon, he's driving
Mrs. Christow up to London as we speak.

563
00:44:46,620 --> 00:44:47,973
He's staying at his club.

564
00:44:48,739 --> 00:44:50,934
Gudgeon, about those eggs...

565
00:44:51,858 --> 00:44:54,611
I meant to write the date on them,
as per usual.

566
00:44:55,176 --> 00:44:58,532
But, because of the kerfuffle... Could you kindly ask the cook?

567
00:44:58,655 --> 00:45:00,691
I've seen to it myself,
milady.

568
00:45:00,854 --> 00:45:02,606
Oh, bless you, Gudgeon.

569
00:45:04,533 --> 00:45:06,888
- Do you think Gerda will be alright?
- Oh, yes.

570
00:45:07,691 --> 00:45:10,524
She'll probably send for some
old school friend of hers.

571
00:45:10,770 --> 00:45:13,059
She's probably got three or four.

572
00:45:13,488 --> 00:45:17,322
I can just see them, scrabbling
hockey types, from Turnbridge Wells.

573
00:45:17,967 --> 00:45:20,117
What extraodinary things you do say,
Lucy!

574
00:45:20,365 --> 00:45:23,198
Very well, Eastbourne and tennis,
if you insist.

575
00:45:24,924 --> 00:45:26,357
I wonder if there're any left...?

576
00:45:27,362 --> 00:45:30,559
- School friends?
- No! Policemen.

577
00:45:31,201 --> 00:45:33,840
Don't they normally leave one
hovering in the hall?

578
00:45:34,079 --> 00:45:36,912
Or outside, peeking behind a bush,
watching the door?

579
00:45:37,238 --> 00:45:39,627
In case another murder
is comitted in the night?

580
00:45:39,757 --> 00:45:41,031
Lucy, don't...

581
00:45:42,076 --> 00:45:44,465
I'm so sorry, how stupid of me,
of course.

582
00:45:44,715 --> 00:45:47,183
Gerda is on her way back to London.

583
00:45:49,112 --> 00:45:50,989
Oh, dear. I didn't mean...

584
00:45:53,591 --> 00:45:56,663
Tomorrow, I think it's better
to telephone the shop, you know.

585
00:45:57,549 --> 00:45:59,346
Just tell them about the inquest.

586
00:45:59,828 --> 00:46:02,183
Just say you're staying off here
for a few days.

587
00:46:20,699 --> 00:46:22,257
I haven't said anything, but...

588
00:46:23,457 --> 00:46:25,334
... you do know how sorry I am?

589
00:46:25,777 --> 00:46:27,005
Sorry?

590
00:46:27,176 --> 00:46:30,373
That John Christow's gone?
You didn't like John.

591
00:46:30,894 --> 00:46:33,328
He and I hadn't much in common.

592
00:46:35,772 --> 00:46:37,410
You had me in common.

593
00:46:37,571 --> 00:46:40,210
Henrietta, for God's sake!
No need to be like that.

594
00:46:41,170 --> 00:46:43,638
What did you think I'd be like?

595
00:46:43,968 --> 00:46:46,718
Did you think I'd seat and cry
for a pocket handkerchief

596
00:46:46,848 --> 00:46:48,884
while you'd held my hand?

597
00:46:49,406 --> 00:46:50,964
You're nice enough, Edward,

598
00:46:51,445 --> 00:46:56,644
but, honestly,
you are inadequate.

599
00:47:43,082 --> 00:47:44,231
<i>Alô?</i>

600
00:47:44,761 --> 00:47:45,910
Yes.

601
00:48:24,364 --> 00:48:26,437
Monsieur Poirot,
we could use your brains.

602
00:48:26,450 --> 00:48:28,438
Join us, would you?

603
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:34,509
So...

604
00:48:35,999 --> 00:48:38,138
... which of the ladies did
this wrap belong to?

605
00:48:39,127 --> 00:48:41,889
I take it, sir, that you're referring
to the cape of artic fox.

606
00:48:42,215 --> 00:48:45,597
<i>I noticed it yesterday, when I took
the cherry out to the pavillion.</i>

607
00:48:46,274 --> 00:48:49,926
But it is not the property of anyone
in this establishment, sir.

608
00:48:51,392 --> 00:48:52,745
Well, who's is it, then?

609
00:48:53,031 --> 00:48:55,181
It might possibly belong to Miss Cray,

610
00:48:55,631 --> 00:48:57,303
the motion picture actress.

611
00:48:58,389 --> 00:49:01,301
She payed a visit after dinner,
the night before last,

612
00:49:01,708 --> 00:49:03,460
for the purpose of borrowing
some matches, sir.

613
00:49:05,386 --> 00:49:07,456
<i>Did she take away six boxes?</i>

614
00:49:09,624 --> 00:49:11,023
That is correct, sir.

615
00:49:12,582 --> 00:49:14,513
Servants are the devil, aren't they?

616
00:49:15,321 --> 00:49:16,959
Still Sir Henry identified the gun.

617
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:20,311
Which means that all Mrs. Christow
had to do was to get it from the study.

618
00:49:20,439 --> 00:49:21,667
Don't you agree?

619
00:49:22,499 --> 00:49:26,697
- And her motive, what is it?
- Motive? Jealousy, I'd say.

620
00:49:26,936 --> 00:49:28,289
<i>La jalousie?</i>

621
00:49:29,655 --> 00:49:30,804
<i>Peut-être.</i>

622
00:49:31,014 --> 00:49:33,005
You know these fancy doctors.

623
00:49:33,133 --> 00:49:36,523
He'd probably get one of those rich
lady patients a good "see to".

624
00:49:37,332 --> 00:49:40,244
And Lady Angkatell mentioned
some trouble with a nurse.

625
00:49:40,370 --> 00:49:42,008
But she was a bit vague.

626
00:49:42,830 --> 00:49:44,343
Yes, she would be vague.

627
00:49:46,987 --> 00:49:48,978
I'm taking the train off to London.

628
00:49:49,627 --> 00:49:51,822
I'm going to Harley Street.
Would you care to join me?

629
00:49:58,663 --> 00:50:01,061
I don't remember any quarrels. No.

630
00:50:01,361 --> 00:50:03,416
Mrs. Christow was devoted
to her husband.

631
00:50:04,020 --> 00:50:05,499
Quite slavishly so.

632
00:50:06,019 --> 00:50:07,816
- Tyrannical, was he?
- No.

633
00:50:08,738 --> 00:50:11,013
But he was what I would call
a selfish man.

634
00:50:11,357 --> 00:50:15,454
He took it for granted that Mrs. Christow
would fall in with his ideas.

635
00:50:16,615 --> 00:50:19,175
You organized his appointments,
Miss Collins.

636
00:50:19,454 --> 00:50:22,287
Any difficulty with patients?
Lady patients?

637
00:50:23,052 --> 00:50:25,122
He had an excellent manner
with patients.

638
00:50:25,251 --> 00:50:26,366
Yes, but any...

639
00:50:26,850 --> 00:50:28,806
... hanky panky?
- Certainly not.

640
00:50:29,129 --> 00:50:31,381
What about Mlle. Veronica Cray?

641
00:50:31,589 --> 00:50:32,798
Veronica Cray?

642
00:50:33,048 --> 00:50:35,187
Well, we believe she was a friend
of Dr. Christow's.

643
00:50:35,258 --> 00:50:36,400
- Do you mean the actress?
<i>- Oui.</i>

644
00:50:36,426 --> 00:50:38,257
I'd no idea he knew her.

645
00:50:38,336 --> 00:50:41,598
Any ideas as to whom
might have killed Dr. Christow?

646
00:50:41,724 --> 00:50:43,680
Absolutely none at all, Inspector.

647
00:50:44,043 --> 00:50:46,893
When the body was discovered,
Mme. Christow was standing beside it,

648
00:50:46,954 --> 00:50:49,034
with a revolver in her hand.

649
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:51,156
Look, I don't know who you are,

650
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:53,869
but if you think Gerda Christow
killed her husband,

651
00:50:53,998 --> 00:50:55,875
you are categorically wrong.

652
00:50:58,336 --> 00:51:01,134
- It's the Inspector, Mrs. Christow.
- Thank you, Collie.

653
00:51:04,893 --> 00:51:06,884
- Good afternoon.
- My friend Elsie,

654
00:51:07,491 --> 00:51:10,210
I mean, Mrs. Patterson.
- Ma'am.

655
00:51:11,730 --> 00:51:13,322
This is Monsieur Poirot.

656
00:51:13,569 --> 00:51:15,446
Have you found out who killed him?

657
00:51:16,628 --> 00:51:18,220
Uh... no, not yet Ma'am.

658
00:51:19,986 --> 00:51:22,420
- Was it you, Mrs. Christow?
- That's unfair!

659
00:51:22,865 --> 00:51:26,723
- Why do you persecute the poor woman?
<i>- Excusez-moi.</i>

660
00:51:27,003 --> 00:51:29,881
But perhaps Madame Christow
would prefer to speak for herself.

661
00:51:31,161 --> 00:51:32,355
It was not me.

662
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:34,475
No.

663
00:51:34,759 --> 00:51:37,432
It is a hard thing, to kill
the one you love, <i>n'est ce pas?</i>

664
00:51:37,839 --> 00:51:39,670
A very hard thing, I should imagine.

665
00:51:40,757 --> 00:51:42,429
I couldn't do it.

666
00:52:00,908 --> 00:52:03,741
Balistic's report. We ran it
right away.

667
00:52:04,197 --> 00:52:05,460
Have a look at that, Poirot.

668
00:52:16,741 --> 00:52:17,730
<i>Merci, Madame.</i>

669
00:52:17,901 --> 00:52:20,938
So the balistics report proves
that the gun in the pool

670
00:52:21,100 --> 00:52:23,136
was not the one who killed
John Christow.

671
00:52:24,658 --> 00:52:26,171
I've spoken to Sir Henry.

672
00:52:27,657 --> 00:52:30,690
He says that there is a gun missing
in his collection.

673
00:52:31,135 --> 00:52:34,472
<i>A .38 Smith & Wesson,
brown holster.</i>

674
00:52:38,412 --> 00:52:40,751
I think this whole thing
could be a frame

675
00:52:40,852 --> 00:52:43,172
set up to implicate Mrs. Christow.

676
00:52:44,409 --> 00:52:45,603
But, if that was so,

677
00:52:46,859 --> 00:52:49,602
<i>why do not leave the right revolver
lying by the body?</i>

678
00:52:50,426 --> 00:52:52,277
But she might not have pick it up.

679
00:52:53,486 --> 00:52:55,059
And it is possible, Inspector,

680
00:52:55,684 --> 00:52:58,217
that the murderer might be someone
who wanted to kill Dr. Christow,

681
00:52:59,143 --> 00:53:01,517
but did not want to implicate
Gerda Christow.

682
00:53:03,381 --> 00:53:05,417
Well, he had a funny way
to work about it.

683
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:07,791
We suspected her right
from the start.

684
00:53:07,860 --> 00:53:10,587
<i>Oui, mon ami.</i>
Very swiftly you suspected her.

685
00:53:10,758 --> 00:53:13,789
Look, Poirot. You were a eye witness,
you saw everything.

686
00:53:14,676 --> 00:53:16,104
<i>Oui,</i> I saw.

687
00:53:16,396 --> 00:53:18,530
But the eyes of witnesses
are most unreliable.

688
00:53:18,754 --> 00:53:21,088
Sometimes, the eyes see
what they are meant to see.

689
00:53:21,993 --> 00:53:23,745
You saying it was arranged?

690
00:53:24,162 --> 00:53:26,721
<i>There was something about the tableau,
the people around the pool</i>

691
00:53:27,531 --> 00:53:30,300
it was false. And I can not
place my finger on what it was.

692
00:53:33,628 --> 00:53:36,426
<i>There were three people,
Lady Angkatell,</i>

693
00:53:37,026 --> 00:53:38,903
<i>Monsieur Edward Angkatell</i>

694
00:53:39,145 --> 00:53:40,737
<i>and Henrietta Savernake.</i>

695
00:53:42,284 --> 00:53:43,778
Henrietta.

696
00:53:43,823 --> 00:53:47,095
<i>And anyone of these three people
could have shot Dr. Christow</i>

697
00:53:47,222 --> 00:53:48,860
<i>before Madame Christow arrived,
could have retreated</i>

698
00:53:48,981 --> 00:53:51,320
<i>by one of the paths, turn around
and returned.</i>

699
00:53:51,549 --> 00:53:53,305
Blimey, you're right.

700
00:53:53,559 --> 00:53:55,650
There is also another possibility,
Inspector.

701
00:53:55,998 --> 00:53:58,717
Someone could have come
from the path, along the lane,

702
00:53:58,956 --> 00:54:00,355
then fired the shot

703
00:54:01,995 --> 00:54:03,906
and gone back the same way.

704
00:54:04,434 --> 00:54:05,833
You're dead right.

705
00:54:07,273 --> 00:54:10,868
And that could be Miss Veronica Cray.
Crime of passion. Bingo!

706
00:54:11,051 --> 00:54:12,962
- You have interviewed her?
- Yes, I have.

707
00:54:13,370 --> 00:54:15,565
Christow went to visit her
that morning.

708
00:54:15,849 --> 00:54:17,919
They had a fight.
I spoke to the maid.

709
00:54:19,127 --> 00:54:20,719
Cray said to him:

710
00:54:21,886 --> 00:54:26,084
"I hate you more than I ever thought
I could hate anyone!"

711
00:54:27,484 --> 00:54:28,963
That is interesting.

712
00:54:30,102 --> 00:54:32,297
And it was her fur coat in the pavillion?

713
00:54:32,461 --> 00:54:33,780
Yes, it was.

714
00:54:34,061 --> 00:54:36,734
<i>She must have left it there when she
entered to borrow the matches.</i>

715
00:54:36,939 --> 00:54:39,009
I do not believe she went there
to borrow the matches.

716
00:54:39,138 --> 00:54:41,368
She could have borrowed them from me
and saved the walk.

717
00:54:41,498 --> 00:54:42,533
No, no, no.

718
00:54:42,817 --> 00:54:45,331
She was nervous,
on account of you being a foreigner.

719
00:54:48,135 --> 00:54:49,648
<i>Et bien...</i>

720
00:55:06,347 --> 00:55:08,463
<i>- Santé.
- Santé.</i>

721
00:55:14,663 --> 00:55:17,416
You know something about human nature,
don't you?

722
00:55:19,181 --> 00:55:21,058
I know a little
about human nature.

723
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:25,835
Inspector Grange has got into his head
that I quarreled with John Christow

724
00:55:25,998 --> 00:55:28,228
on the day he died.

725
00:55:28,577 --> 00:55:29,930
And did you?

726
00:55:31,716 --> 00:55:33,866
I hadn't seen John for 12 years.

727
00:55:34,815 --> 00:55:38,524
But the real truth is so fantastic that I'm
certain that a guy like Grange wouldn't believe it.

728
00:55:39,933 --> 00:55:42,208
But I think you might
understand.

729
00:55:42,571 --> 00:55:44,562
I am flattered, <i>Mademoiselle.

730
00:55:44,971 --> 00:55:46,370
Actually, I am married.

731
00:55:47,449 --> 00:55:48,723
<i>Madame.

732
00:55:50,328 --> 00:55:53,445
<i>12 years ago, John was
very in love with me.</i>

733
00:55:54,405 --> 00:55:56,043
Even obsessively so.

734
00:55:56,325 --> 00:55:57,822
<i>He wanted me
to give up acting,</i>

735
00:55:58,044 --> 00:55:59,554
<i>having a life of my own,</i>

736
00:55:59,755 --> 00:56:01,255
<i>even a mind of my own</i>

737
00:56:01,502 --> 00:56:04,093
He was so possessive and domineering

738
00:56:05,041 --> 00:56:08,011
I thought I couldn't go through with it
and I broke off the engagement.

739
00:56:09,859 --> 00:56:11,875
I'm afraid he took it rather hard.

740
00:56:13,677 --> 00:56:16,066
When we came back here,
on saturday night,

741
00:56:16,636 --> 00:56:18,547
the whole thing blew up again.

742
00:56:19,595 --> 00:56:21,950
He went mad,
quite literally mad.

743
00:56:22,433 --> 00:56:26,472
<i>He wanted to leave his wife and children,
he wanted me to divorce my husband</i>

744
00:56:28,950 --> 00:56:31,145
he wanted us to get back together.

745
00:56:32,589 --> 00:56:35,149
He carried a torch for me,
all these years.

746
00:56:36,467 --> 00:56:38,856
We argued and argued,

747
00:56:39,026 --> 00:56:41,779
and in the end I had to send him
back The Hollow.

748
00:56:41,945 --> 00:56:43,537
Next morning, he returned.

749
00:56:43,904 --> 00:56:46,213
I told him it was impossible.
He insisted.

750
00:56:46,343 --> 00:56:48,903
I told him I didn't love him,
I could never love him

751
00:56:49,101 --> 00:56:52,093
and I begged him not to ruin
my life a second time.

752
00:56:53,900 --> 00:56:55,652
I had to be brutal.

753
00:56:57,178 --> 00:56:58,452
Yes, I...

754
00:57:00,137 --> 00:57:02,332
... said I hated him.

755
00:57:02,975 --> 00:57:04,886
And we parted in anger. And...

756
00:57:06,934 --> 00:57:08,606
... now he is dead.

757
00:57:12,172 --> 00:57:15,960
- It is a tragedy.
- Undoubtedly.

758
00:57:20,568 --> 00:57:23,357
Do you think I should say any of this
at the inquest?

759
00:57:23,666 --> 00:57:25,898
I mean... his wife.

760
00:57:26,925 --> 00:57:30,201
I can not see that it has any bearing
at the inquest.

761
00:57:30,803 --> 00:57:32,122
It is private.

762
00:57:34,042 --> 00:57:35,953
And perhaps it should remain so.

763
00:57:47,397 --> 00:57:49,389
I talked with the kitchen maid, sir, Simmons.

764
00:57:49,450 --> 00:57:50,500
She says that, Sunday afternoon,

765
00:57:50,515 --> 00:57:53,068
she saw the butler walk across the hall
with a revolver in his hand.

766
00:57:56,972 --> 00:57:58,384
I'm very sorry, sir.

767
00:57:58,455 --> 00:58:00,585
I suppose I ought to have mentioned it.

768
00:58:01,201 --> 00:58:03,677
At about 17:30, I noticed
a revolver lying upon the hall table.

769
00:58:06,848 --> 00:58:08,679
<i>I picked it up and brought it in here.</i>

770
00:58:09,047 --> 00:58:11,519
There was a gap up there on the shelf,
so I put it where it belong.

771
00:58:11,945 --> 00:58:13,798
Which one, Gudgeon?

772
00:58:18,582 --> 00:58:20,410
This one, sir.

773
00:58:20,822 --> 00:58:23,241
But that is not a revolver.
That is an automatic pistol.

774
00:58:23,481 --> 00:58:26,178
I'm very sorry, sir. I'm afraid I'm not fully informed about firearms.

775
00:58:27,079 --> 00:58:29,339
Sir Henry, I'll have it
fully checked for fingerprints.

776
00:58:29,657 --> 00:58:32,066
Oh!... I doubt there will be
any fingerprints, sir.

777
00:58:34,056 --> 00:58:35,350
Why not?

778
00:58:35,575 --> 00:58:38,606
Because I polished it
with my handkerchief before replacing it, sir.

779
00:58:39,833 --> 00:58:41,869
Why the devil did you do that?

780
00:58:42,272 --> 00:58:44,189
I felt it might be dusty, sir.

781
00:58:49,489 --> 00:58:51,480
How nice to see you, Monsieur Poirot.

782
00:58:51,888 --> 00:58:53,920
Oh, dear! There's a poor girl
in the kichen,

783
00:58:54,021 --> 00:58:56,021
just sobbing her heart out.

784
00:58:56,926 --> 00:59:00,084
What have you been telling them
about the pistol, Gudgeon?

785
00:59:01,484 --> 00:59:04,293
<i>Never mind, it doesn't matter.
I'll explain everything.</i>

786
00:59:04,764 --> 00:59:05,964
You may go.

787
00:59:06,801 --> 00:59:08,680
Dear poor Gudgeon, you know.

788
00:59:08,881 --> 00:59:12,476
He tries so hard to protect us
from any kind of trouble...

789
00:59:13,278 --> 00:59:15,633
This here is all quite feudal, you know?

790
00:59:15,838 --> 00:59:18,671
But he didn't find the pistol
in the hall at all.

791
00:59:19,196 --> 00:59:20,265
No, no, no.

792
00:59:20,475 --> 00:59:22,511
He found it when he took out the eggs.

793
00:59:22,675 --> 00:59:24,427
Eggs? What eggs?

794
00:59:25,593 --> 00:59:28,187
You see, I went out to the farm
to collect the eggs.

795
00:59:28,512 --> 00:59:30,264
I put the pistol on the egg basket

796
00:59:30,391 --> 00:59:32,586
and then I put the new eggs
on top of the pistol.

797
00:59:32,710 --> 00:59:34,701
When I came back and saw John
laying there,

798
00:59:34,869 --> 00:59:36,621
well... I mean, unwell...

799
00:59:37,029 --> 00:59:40,101
<i>... I sort of had a bit of a shock
and almost dropped the basket.</i>

800
00:59:40,506 --> 00:59:43,657
<i>Dear sweet Gudgeon, as per usual,
sprang to my rescue.</i>

801
00:59:43,866 --> 00:59:47,495
Later on, I wanted to write
the date on the eggs,

802
00:59:48,183 --> 00:59:51,732
otherwise, you see, we tend to eat
the fresher eggs before the older ones,

803
00:59:51,862 --> 00:59:54,012
and that simply will not do...

804
00:59:54,580 --> 00:59:57,538
And then Gudgeon told me
he had taken care of everything.

805
01:00:00,258 --> 01:00:02,897
And which pistol was that,
Lady Angkatell?

806
01:00:03,297 --> 01:00:04,855
That was the Mauser.25.

807
01:00:05,896 --> 01:00:08,535
And why did you put it into the basket?

808
01:00:09,014 --> 01:00:11,733
Oh! I knew you would ask me that,
Monsieur Poirot.

809
01:00:12,733 --> 01:00:16,726
Of course I... must have had a reason,
mustn't I, Henry?

810
01:00:17,691 --> 01:00:20,967
I mean, I must have had some idea
worrying about in my head,

811
01:00:21,728 --> 01:00:25,164
in order for me to put the Mauser
into the egg basket, in first place.

812
01:00:27,147 --> 01:00:28,421
My wife is...

813
01:00:29,106 --> 01:00:31,904
<i>... extremely absent-minded.</i>

814
01:00:32,683 --> 01:00:35,151
Sir Henry, if I may ask you a question.

815
01:00:35,562 --> 01:00:39,157
How many people, in general, know
that the police can identify a gun

816
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:41,157
<i>by the little marks
on the bullet.</i>

817
01:00:41,279 --> 01:00:42,234
The marks of the riffling.

818
01:00:42,359 --> 01:00:45,351
I think that's pretty well common
knowledge nowadays, Poirot.

819
01:00:54,593 --> 01:00:56,685
I was just taking the dog for a walk.

820
01:00:57,513 --> 01:01:00,008
I love peaking
in other people's houses.

821
01:01:00,231 --> 01:01:02,023
Do you mind if I take a look?

822
01:01:02,150 --> 01:01:04,186
But certainly, <i>Mademoiselle,
entrez,</i> if you please.

823
01:01:04,710 --> 01:01:08,100
I would be most grateful, however,
if the dog might be kept outside.

824
01:01:20,783 --> 01:01:22,136
How beautifully tidy!

825
01:01:23,381 --> 01:01:26,930
You'd hate my studio.
There's clay all over the place,

826
01:01:27,779 --> 01:01:29,656
and glaze, and paint bottles...

827
01:01:29,778 --> 01:01:31,928
But I understand,
you are an <i>artiste.

828
01:01:33,257 --> 01:01:35,452
Aren't you an artist too,
Monsieur Poirot?

829
01:01:37,735 --> 01:01:39,407
On the whole, I would say...

830
01:01:41,014 --> 01:01:42,083
<i>... non.</i>

831
01:01:42,293 --> 01:01:45,763
<i>I've known crimes that were artistic,
supreme exercises of imagination.</i>

832
01:01:45,932 --> 01:01:47,923
But the solving of them, <i>non.</i>

833
01:01:49,810 --> 01:01:51,880
The creative power is not what is needed.

834
01:01:52,969 --> 01:01:55,767
<i>What is required
is a passion for truth.</i>

835
01:01:57,326 --> 01:01:59,281
And, once you have the truth,

836
01:01:59,582 --> 01:02:01,382
once you have knowledge,
is that enough?

837
01:02:01,485 --> 01:02:03,395
Or do you have to go one step further

838
01:02:03,456 --> 01:02:05,496
and transform
the knowledge into action?

839
01:02:09,281 --> 01:02:11,675
Why did you come here,
<i>Mademoiselle</i> Savernake?

840
01:02:13,519 --> 01:02:15,589
As I said, I was
taking the dog for a walk.

841
01:02:15,758 --> 01:02:19,194
It is odd I did never take notice
of a dog on my visits to the Angkatell.

842
01:02:22,154 --> 01:02:25,270
That might be because
they haven't got one.

843
01:02:27,153 --> 01:02:28,984
I borrowed the gardener's.

844
01:02:29,272 --> 01:02:31,911
Don't actually like animals much,
dogs, horses...

845
01:02:32,631 --> 01:02:34,906
horrible, smelly things.

846
01:02:38,788 --> 01:02:40,380
I am not, <i>Monsieur Poirot,

847
01:02:40,947 --> 01:02:42,300
<i>terribly truthful.</i>

848
01:02:43,785 --> 01:02:44,854
<i>Non.</i>

849
01:02:46,864 --> 01:02:48,820
But I think that you have integrity.

850
01:02:53,182 --> 01:02:54,740
The inquest is tomorrow.

851
01:02:55,101 --> 01:02:56,580
Is it necessary, do you know,

852
01:02:56,700 --> 01:02:59,453
the Police to know
that I was John Christow's mistress?

853
01:03:00,299 --> 01:03:01,573
You were lovers?

854
01:03:02,097 --> 01:03:05,328
I do not think that the Police
has any difficulty in discovering this.

855
01:03:07,255 --> 01:03:08,654
I suppose not.

856
01:03:10,254 --> 01:03:12,848
Why should Gerda bear
such heavy burden?

857
01:03:13,613 --> 01:03:16,491
She adored John
and now she is dead.

858
01:03:18,810 --> 01:03:21,244
I didn't break up his married life.

859
01:03:21,409 --> 01:03:24,845
I was one of a procession, along
with Veronica Cray and all the others.

860
01:03:25,047 --> 01:03:27,117
- So he was like that?
- No!

861
01:03:30,625 --> 01:03:32,243
He was a noble man,

862
01:03:34,284 --> 01:03:35,683
a fine man.

863
01:03:38,041 --> 01:03:41,751
He was doing a vital research into a debilitating disease.

864
01:03:41,900 --> 01:03:44,409
It's called Ridgeway's,
there is no known cure.

865
01:03:44,589 --> 01:03:46,894
He was working on it night and day,
for months.

866
01:03:48,238 --> 01:03:49,266
His curiosity,

867
01:03:49,996 --> 01:03:52,032
his determination...

868
01:03:52,975 --> 01:03:54,652
Oh! I wish I could make you understand.

869
01:03:54,805 --> 01:03:57,634
- But I understand.
- Really?

870
01:03:59,962 --> 01:04:02,048
You mentioned Veronica Cray.

871
01:04:03,451 --> 01:04:05,626
She also was a friend of Dr. Christow?

872
01:04:06,689 --> 01:04:08,721
They were engaged
to be married 12 years ago.

873
01:04:09,162 --> 01:04:10,352
Were they?

874
01:04:10,527 --> 01:04:12,445
<i>Look, I'll make it simple.</i>

875
01:04:13,246 --> 01:04:17,241
Veronica was, and is,
a bitch of the first water.

876
01:04:17,784 --> 01:04:19,615
She wanted John to give up
medicine

877
01:04:19,743 --> 01:04:21,540
and go and live with her
in Califórnia.

878
01:04:21,783 --> 01:04:25,253
So he broke off
and subsequentely married Gerda.

879
01:04:25,980 --> 01:04:29,052
He had a number of affairs,
which Gerda never knew nothing about.

880
01:04:30,339 --> 01:04:32,409
But he really never got over Veronica.

881
01:04:34,257 --> 01:04:36,248
And in the last Saturday they met,

882
01:04:37,176 --> 01:04:39,326
for the first time in 12 years.

883
01:04:42,653 --> 01:04:44,291
He went out to see her home

884
01:04:45,412 --> 01:04:48,051
and he returned to the Hollow
at 03:00 a.m..

885
01:04:48,611 --> 01:04:49,885
Yes. How do you know?

886
01:04:50,930 --> 01:04:53,080
The housemaid had a toothache.

887
01:04:53,568 --> 01:04:55,843
Lucy has far too many servants.

888
01:04:55,968 --> 01:04:57,845
And how is it that you know?

889
01:04:58,326 --> 01:04:59,964
I was watching out my window.

890
01:05:01,485 --> 01:05:03,077
The toothache, <i>Mademoiselle?

891
01:05:04,404 --> 01:05:07,714
Quite another kind of ache,
Monsieur Poirot.

892
01:05:11,801 --> 01:05:14,873
If you see me with a pistol in my hand,
Simmons, the proper thing to do

893
01:05:14,999 --> 01:05:17,787
<i>is come to me and say:
Mr. Gudeon, would you be so kind</i>

894
01:05:17,898 --> 01:05:20,198
and give me an explanation.

895
01:05:21,316 --> 01:05:22,590
Yes, Mr. Gudgeon.

896
01:05:24,436 --> 01:05:27,269
The improper thing to do
is to go babbling to the Police.

897
01:05:28,513 --> 01:05:30,061
That is common.

898
01:05:32,581 --> 01:05:34,866
Where would Her Ladyship be,

899
01:05:34,877 --> 01:05:37,037
if we all run
doing things like that, hmm?

900
01:05:37,070 --> 01:05:38,822
Lucy, why did you take the pistol?

901
01:05:40,188 --> 01:05:42,224
I'm not entirely sure, Henry.

902
01:05:42,627 --> 01:05:45,141
I do recall, though, waking up
that morning

903
01:05:45,546 --> 01:05:47,676
with some sort of premonition,

904
01:05:47,767 --> 01:05:50,987
that there might, just might,
be some kind of accident..

905
01:05:51,183 --> 01:05:53,686
Accident, who might
have had an accident?

906
01:05:54,099 --> 01:05:55,887
Well, obviously, John Christow.

907
01:05:56,501 --> 01:05:58,731
<i>And, I mean, one does feel awfully
sorry, of course,</i>

908
01:05:59,060 --> 01:06:02,293
and one does tend to blame oneself...
- Good God, Lucy!

909
01:06:02,578 --> 01:06:03,647
Oh, Henry!

910
01:06:04,717 --> 01:06:06,196
Oh, Henry! Oh, Henry,

911
01:06:08,075 --> 01:06:11,970
I'm so dreadfully worried about Ainswick.

912
01:06:13,593 --> 01:06:15,584
If Edward never marries,

913
01:06:15,752 --> 01:06:17,344
and he won't, you know,

914
01:06:17,472 --> 01:06:18,951
if Henrietta turns him down,

915
01:06:19,431 --> 01:06:21,687
it will all die out. It will.

916
01:06:21,989 --> 01:06:26,321
They will break it up
and sell it off in little tiny pieces.

917
01:06:27,987 --> 01:06:29,136
Lucy,

918
01:06:31,386 --> 01:06:33,456
does it really, honestly, matter?

919
01:06:33,784 --> 01:06:35,595
Of course it matters.

920
01:06:36,263 --> 01:06:38,254
Ainswick is my home.

921
01:06:39,062 --> 01:06:42,099
It's all our land. No...

922
01:06:42,210 --> 01:06:44,291
Somebody'd got to get rid of him.

923
01:06:45,619 --> 01:06:47,098
Lucy, you didn't...

924
01:06:47,338 --> 01:06:48,851
Don't be such a fool.

925
01:06:49,427 --> 01:06:51,736
Do you really believe, for a moment,

926
01:06:51,907 --> 01:06:54,137
that I could've shot him?

927
01:06:55,265 --> 01:06:56,972
I invited him here, Henry.

928
01:06:57,704 --> 01:07:00,173
One doesn't ask guests
for the weekend

929
01:07:00,353 --> 01:07:02,089
and start bumping them off.

930
01:07:02,911 --> 01:07:05,245
- Did your aunt like John Christow?
- Lucy?

931
01:07:05,811 --> 01:07:07,722
Lucy's a cousin, not an aunt.

932
01:07:07,969 --> 01:07:09,607
Yes, she liked him very much.

933
01:07:10,168 --> 01:07:12,704
And your... also cousin,
Mr. Edward Angkatell,

934
01:07:12,864 --> 01:07:15,520
- did he like Dr. Christow?
- Not particularly.

935
01:07:16,525 --> 01:07:18,322
And do they like Madame Christow?

936
01:07:18,965 --> 01:07:21,154
It's not a matter of liking her,
she's famíly.

937
01:07:21,283 --> 01:07:23,978
- Is she?
- We're not all rich, you know?

938
01:07:24,162 --> 01:07:26,479
Gerda is from a branch
of rather humble Angkatell's.

939
01:07:26,781 --> 01:07:28,879
She's tolerated, I think it's fair to say,

940
01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:30,252
because she's one of us.

941
01:07:30,429 --> 01:07:31,750
And your understanding of tolerance

942
01:07:31,851 --> 01:07:33,457
would be to sleep with her husband?

943
01:07:48,781 --> 01:07:51,085
Why did you take the revolver
out of the hand of Madame Christow

944
01:07:51,870 --> 01:07:53,852
and drop it into the pool?

945
01:07:54,009 --> 01:07:55,568
A Gerda is very clumsy.

946
01:07:55,668 --> 01:07:57,383
She might have fired it
and hurt someone.

947
01:07:57,467 --> 01:07:59,385
But you're not clumsy,
are you?

948
01:07:59,397 --> 01:08:00,750
<i>And yet you dropped it.</i>

949
01:08:01,544 --> 01:08:03,774
If there were fingerprints
on that revolver,

950
01:08:04,105 --> 01:08:06,776
that is to say, fingerprints
before <i>Madame</i> Christow handled it,

951
01:08:06,944 --> 01:08:09,063
it would've been intersting
to know who's they were.

952
01:08:09,782 --> 01:08:11,652
Meaning that you think
that they were mine.

953
01:08:12,101 --> 01:08:14,071
<i>You're suggesting that I shot John</i>

954
01:08:14,182 --> 01:08:15,462
and then left the revolver beside him

955
01:08:15,629 --> 01:08:17,570
so that Gerda could come along
and pick it up.

956
01:08:18,098 --> 01:08:21,010
But if I'd done that, give me
credit for enough intelligence,

957
01:08:21,147 --> 01:08:23,287
to have wiped my own figerprints off first.

958
01:08:23,586 --> 01:08:26,514
But, Mademoiselle, you have
enough intelligence to know

959
01:08:26,665 --> 01:08:28,571
that if there would be no fingerprints
in the revolver, other than Madame Christow's,

960
01:08:28,783 --> 01:08:31,585
other than </i>Madame</i> Christow's,
it would be <i>très remarcable.</i>

961
01:08:31,652 --> 01:08:33,389
Because you were all shooting
with the revolver

962
01:08:33,460 --> 01:08:34,780
the day before.

963
01:08:36,351 --> 01:08:38,446
And there are something else we have
just discovered.

964
01:08:38,589 --> 01:08:31,267
We now know that the revover that was
dropped into the pool

965
01:08:41,588 --> 01:08:44,004
was not the revolver that killed
John Christow.

966
01:08:44,187 --> 01:08:46,222
He was shot with a quite different gun.

967
01:08:47,346 --> 01:08:48,972
And you think that I shot him?

968
01:08:49,804 --> 01:08:51,203
When he was dying,

969
01:08:51,563 --> 01:08:53,838
John Christow said:
"Henrietta."

970
01:08:55,122 --> 01:08:56,760
I told you, we were lovers.

971
01:08:57,041 --> 01:08:58,838
Oh yes, of course . He was your lover.

972
01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:01,394
So, as he was dying, he says,
"Henrietta."

973
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:02,839
Very touching.

974
01:09:02,959 --> 01:09:05,837
- I don't think there is any need to sneer.
- I am not sneering.

975
01:09:05,957 --> 01:09:08,073
But I do not like being lied to.

976
01:09:09,276 --> 01:09:11,585
I've admitted
that I'm not very truthful.

977
01:09:13,434 --> 01:09:15,584
But I don't kill people, Monsieur Poirot.

978
01:09:39,982 --> 01:09:42,416
Gerda! Poor dear, Gerda.

979
01:09:42,661 --> 01:09:46,097
I'm so sorry. Not getting too
a little sleep, I trust.

980
01:09:46,259 --> 01:09:49,296
What is an adjournment, you know?
You must be famished.

981
01:09:49,538 --> 01:09:51,768
Why don't you come back
to the Hollow for lunch?

982
01:09:51,897 --> 01:09:53,649
I'm taking Gerda directly home.

983
01:09:53,816 --> 01:09:56,853
She needs rest and quiet,
not this.

984
01:10:04,971 --> 01:10:06,404
What did they see in Christow?

985
01:10:06,970 --> 01:10:09,484
That wretched woman
is completely heartbroken.

986
01:10:09,610 --> 01:10:11,726
- Poor devil.
- Are you all packed?

987
01:10:12,208 --> 01:10:14,517
I'm getting lift to town.
All set.

988
01:10:14,927 --> 01:10:16,997
Come on, Midge. Bye, Edward.

989
01:10:19,645 --> 01:10:20,794
Bye.

990
01:10:22,804 --> 01:10:23,839
Edward!

991
01:10:35,318 --> 01:10:37,434
- Damn cold!
- It is, rather.

992
01:10:43,834 --> 01:10:47,144
What's this one?
It looks a bit like Gerda.

993
01:10:48,072 --> 01:10:49,710
Cowed and hunched.

994
01:10:49,992 --> 01:10:51,425
She modelled for me.

995
01:10:51,831 --> 01:10:54,664
Don't you dare tell her
that's what what I ended up with.

996
01:10:54,909 --> 01:10:56,467
I call it "The Worshiper".

997
01:10:56,589 --> 01:10:57,783
Who is she worshiping?

998
01:10:59,108 --> 01:11:00,257
John.

999
01:11:05,905 --> 01:11:08,214
Did you understand all that business
with the second gun?

1000
01:11:09,583 --> 01:11:12,143
No, but it lets Gerda off the hook,
doesn't it?

1001
01:11:14,101 --> 01:11:17,218
Let's have some tea and toasts,
then I'll take you to your lodgings.

1002
01:12:07,517 --> 01:12:08,870
Mademoiselle, do not!

1003
01:12:10,956 --> 01:12:14,426
John has been shot. He's dead.

1004
01:12:29,667 --> 01:12:32,340
Edward, Midge,
how wonderful to see you both!

1005
01:12:34,386 --> 01:12:37,378
He rescued me from Madame Alfrege.
It was frightfully romantic.

1006
01:12:38,184 --> 01:12:40,300
I was whisked from the shop and taken
to lunch at The Connaught

1007
01:12:40,423 --> 01:12:43,221
and, do you know what?
I never went back.

1008
01:12:44,181 --> 01:12:46,456
I'm a dull dog, I know.
I am no much good at anything.

1009
01:12:46,580 --> 01:12:48,536
I just read books, putter about.

1010
01:12:48,859 --> 01:12:51,896
Midge has agrred to come to Ainswick
and be my wife.

1011
01:12:52,818 --> 01:12:54,854
And nothing could make me happier.

1012
01:12:54,976 --> 01:12:56,694
Of white satin, don't you think?

1013
01:12:57,175 --> 01:12:59,769
And ivory Prayer Book.
What about bridesmaids?

1014
01:12:59,935 --> 01:13:02,165
Oh, I don't fuss.
Just a quiet wedding.

1015
01:13:02,293 --> 01:13:04,932
I quite agree. They don't match,
do they?

1016
01:13:05,052 --> 01:13:08,488
I mean it, there's always
a rather plain one, that ruins the whole--

1017
01:13:10,010 --> 01:13:12,808
Absolutely dozens of them,
poking about in the woods,

1018
01:13:13,489 --> 01:13:15,923
making a terrible mess
with all the pheasants!

1019
01:13:16,047 --> 01:13:17,400
Why are they still here?

1020
01:13:17,526 --> 01:13:19,642
They're searching for
the missing revolver, Midge.

1021
01:13:40,677 --> 01:13:42,076
<i>Bonjour, Mademoiselle.</i>

1022
01:13:42,835 --> 01:13:44,427
Good morning, Monsieur Poirot.

1023
01:13:47,194 --> 01:13:48,707
Will they find it, do you think?

1024
01:13:48,993 --> 01:13:50,187
Soon, I should say.

1025
01:13:52,711 --> 01:13:55,623
You have returned very suddenly
from London, Mademoiselle.

1026
01:13:56,110 --> 01:13:58,021
There's a party for Midge
and Edward,

1027
01:13:58,148 --> 01:14:00,378
who, believe it or not,
are getting married.

1028
01:14:01,068 --> 01:14:04,299
Why, did you think the murderer
would return to the scene of the crime?

1029
01:14:07,585 --> 01:14:09,416
You know, it did seem to me,
from the very beginning,

1030
01:14:09,544 --> 01:14:11,933
that either this crime was very simple,
so simple

1031
01:14:12,502 --> 01:14:14,891
that it was very difficult to believe
in its simplicity,

1032
01:14:15,021 --> 01:14:16,773
<i>or it was very complex.</i>

1033
01:14:17,180 --> 01:14:18,738
And it is to say

1034
01:14:19,219 --> 01:14:22,256
that we are contending against a mind
that is able of inventions

1035
01:14:22,378 --> 01:14:24,369
that are intricate and ingenious.

1036
01:14:25,296 --> 01:14:27,605
<i>So that every time we seem
to be heading towards the truth,</i>

1037
01:14:28,336 --> 01:14:30,611
we're actually being led away from it.

1038
01:14:31,134 --> 01:14:32,772
A mind that is subtle

1039
01:14:33,013 --> 01:14:34,890
and yes, very ingenious,

1040
01:14:35,612 --> 01:14:37,807
which is plotting agaist us
the whole time.

1041
01:14:37,971 --> 01:14:39,689
And succeding.

1042
01:14:42,929 --> 01:14:44,760
What is that to do with me?

1043
01:14:45,767 --> 01:14:48,281
It is a creative mind, <i>Mademoiselle.

1044
01:14:49,206 --> 01:14:52,676
- And this is a strange tree.
- It's a Igdrasil.

1045
01:14:53,284 --> 01:14:55,115
A memento of my childhood,

1046
01:14:55,244 --> 01:14:57,758
I draw it everywhere, doodling,
you know.

1047
01:15:02,321 --> 01:15:04,630
I've seen it before, in the pavillion,
by the pool.

1048
01:15:05,079 --> 01:15:06,353
In the pavillion?

1049
01:15:06,638 --> 01:15:09,277
Where it must have been drawn
on Sunday morning.

1050
01:15:10,077 --> 01:15:11,749
Oh yes, on the little table.

1051
01:15:12,316 --> 01:15:14,784
- But that was on Saturday afternoon.
<i>- Non, non...</i>

1052
01:15:15,355 --> 01:15:18,074
<i>It was not there when Gudgeon
brought the cherry glasses.</i>

1053
01:15:20,432 --> 01:15:22,707
- Then it must have been in Sunday afternoon.
- Non,

1054
01:15:23,831 --> 01:15:26,789
because Grange's men
did not leave the area until dusk.

1055
01:15:27,869 --> 01:15:30,337
Oh, yes! I remember.
It was after dinner, on Saturday.

1056
01:15:30,468 --> 01:15:31,981
<i>Non, Mademoiselle Savernake.</i>

1057
01:15:32,107 --> 01:15:35,099
People do not doodle in the dark.

1058
01:15:36,386 --> 01:15:38,820
No, I think you were in the pavillion
on Sunday, after 12:00,

1059
01:15:38,944 --> 01:15:40,536
<i>when Gudgeon brought out
the cherry glasses.</i>

1060
01:15:40,663 --> 01:15:44,178
I think you stood by the table,
watching someone, waiting for someone

1061
01:15:44,342 --> 01:15:46,060
and you doodled.

1062
01:15:50,779 --> 01:15:53,737
I didn't go down to the pool until 13:00.

1063
01:15:54,537 --> 01:15:57,370
Just after John Christow
had been shot.

1064
01:15:59,055 --> 01:16:01,285
But Igdrasil testifies against you.

1065
01:16:01,454 --> 01:16:03,126
You were there and shot Dr. Christow

1066
01:16:03,374 --> 01:16:05,842
or you were there and saw who did.

1067
01:16:06,172 --> 01:16:07,969
This is outrageous!

1068
01:16:08,411 --> 01:16:10,322
Do you think you are cleverer than I?

1069
01:16:25,964 --> 01:16:27,841
The inquest resumes tomorrow,

1070
01:16:28,722 --> 01:16:31,873
and all I've got is vague suspicions
leading to nowhere.

1071
01:16:32,841 --> 01:16:35,514
Nowhere, instead of somewhere.
That is it.

1072
01:16:36,719 --> 01:16:39,916
Do you know, half the time I think
those Angkatells know all about it.

1073
01:16:41,476 --> 01:16:43,114
Oh, they do know all about it.

1074
01:16:44,316 --> 01:16:45,749
Henrietta Savernake?

1075
01:16:45,915 --> 01:16:48,793
Nothing from her either.
She went straight to Chelsea.

1076
01:16:48,913 --> 01:16:51,268
I searched her studio
with a fine tooth comb,

1077
01:16:52,232 --> 01:16:55,588
but there's no gun.
Just art pieces.

1078
01:16:56,350 --> 01:16:58,944
Sculptures,
funny looking horses,

1079
01:16:59,589 --> 01:17:01,466
bits of wood, metal...

1080
01:17:02,027 --> 01:17:04,416
- Horses, did you say?
- Wel, one horse.

1081
01:17:04,547 --> 01:17:06,299
If you can call it a horse.

1082
01:17:06,426 --> 01:17:08,656
- A horse?
- Yeah, what's so fascinating about that?

1083
01:17:08,784 --> 01:17:11,139
It's a point of psychology, Inspector.

1084
01:17:11,624 --> 01:17:14,013
How quickly can you get me up
to London?

1085
01:17:34,493 --> 01:17:35,721
What're you looking for, sir?

1086
01:17:52,006 --> 01:17:53,075
This.

1087
01:17:54,405 --> 01:17:55,520
The horse.

1088
01:17:59,323 --> 01:18:00,438
<i>Merci.</i>

1089
01:18:01,561 --> 01:18:03,040
Quite good, actually.

1090
01:18:32,828 --> 01:18:33,783
<i>Merci.</i>

1091
01:18:42,263 --> 01:18:43,582
<i>Monsieur</i> Poirot!

1092
01:18:46,942 --> 01:18:49,410
<i>Mademoiselle</i> Savernake
doesn't like horses.

1093
01:18:58,056 --> 01:18:59,205
<i>Voilá.</i>

1094
01:19:02,694 --> 01:19:06,528
I think that this will prove to be
the murder weapon.

1095
01:19:10,411 --> 01:19:12,925
- So Miss Savernake did it.
<i>- Non!</i>

1096
01:19:15,289 --> 01:19:17,166
Looks to me bloody likely.

1097
01:19:17,688 --> 01:19:21,237
No, Mademoiselle Savernake
is not, in my opinion,

1098
01:19:22,126 --> 01:19:23,400
a murderer.

1099
01:19:24,565 --> 01:19:29,400
Let us be quiet about our discovery,
for the time being, Inspector.

1100
01:19:30,642 --> 01:19:31,995
And watch.

1101
01:19:33,561 --> 01:19:35,597
Let us be intelligent.

1102
01:19:38,518 --> 01:19:39,951
<i>Is Her Ladyship at home?</i>

1103
01:19:40,198 --> 01:19:42,587
You will find Lady Angkatell
in the greenhouse.

1104
01:19:44,076 --> 01:19:46,909
If I might,
the inquest is concluded,

1105
01:19:47,315 --> 01:19:49,954
murder by person or persons
unknown.

1106
01:19:50,593 --> 01:19:53,551
Is it necessary to trouble
Her Ladyship further, sir?

1107
01:20:10,185 --> 01:20:11,379
Lady Angkatell.

1108
01:20:12,644 --> 01:20:13,963
<i>Monsieur</i> Poirot.

1109
01:20:14,123 --> 01:20:16,683
Tell me, what are your views
on compost?

1110
01:20:19,481 --> 01:20:22,712
I've come to offer you apologies for the inconveniencies you have suffered.

1111
01:20:23,839 --> 01:20:25,955
It's high time to put a full stop
to the whole thing.

1112
01:20:27,957 --> 01:20:29,549
You do understand me, don't you?

1113
01:20:30,236 --> 01:20:32,192
I'm not sure that I do, Lady Angkatell.

1114
01:20:32,755 --> 01:20:37,067
Oh, come, come, Poirot.
You understand perfectly!

1115
01:20:37,913 --> 01:20:40,871
Since Inspector Grange
has failed to find the murder weapon,

1116
01:20:41,431 --> 01:20:43,308
he'll have to let the whole thing drop.

1117
01:20:44,590 --> 01:20:47,423
You, I dare say, won't.

1118
01:20:48,508 --> 01:20:51,261
Non, I shall not let it drop.

1119
01:20:51,947 --> 01:20:54,222
What if were told the truth?

1120
01:20:54,745 --> 01:20:56,576
Would you like to tell me the truth?

1121
01:20:57,344 --> 01:21:00,097
Oh, Monsieur Poirot, I would love
to tell you the truth.

1122
01:21:01,062 --> 01:21:03,530
Then, of course, we could all agree

1123
01:21:04,501 --> 01:21:07,061
that John Christow
is over and done with.

1124
01:21:07,340 --> 01:21:08,819
Could we, Madame?

1125
01:21:12,817 --> 01:21:15,729
You really are very foreign, aren't you?

1126
01:21:18,655 --> 01:21:21,567
Are you quite sure you have not forgotten something, Lady Angkatell?

1127
01:21:44,724 --> 01:21:47,716
Something just came upon me,

1128
01:21:49,321 --> 01:21:53,633
you might have overlooked it.

1129
01:21:54,279 --> 01:21:57,988
I could be wrong, of course,
and you could've handled everything,

1130
01:21:58,118 --> 01:22:00,712
but since you never mentioned it,

1131
01:22:01,476 --> 01:22:02,750
I'm a trifle concerned...

1132
01:22:02,875 --> 01:22:04,103
What's the matter, Lucy?

1133
01:22:04,315 --> 01:22:05,794
- It's the holster.
- What?

1134
01:22:06,794 --> 01:22:08,307
Oh Henrietta, the holster!

1135
01:22:09,032 --> 01:22:11,751
The gun was in a holster!

1136
01:22:31,623 --> 01:22:33,500
- Yes, Collie?
- It's Miss Savernake.

1137
01:22:33,782 --> 01:22:35,613
The holster, Gerda!
Where is the holster?

1138
01:22:35,741 --> 01:22:38,096
You have to give me the holster
and then you'll be safe.

1139
01:22:38,260 --> 01:22:40,410
Not completely safe.
<i>Dommage.</i>

1140
01:22:41,258 --> 01:22:42,486
Poirot!

1141
01:22:44,377 --> 01:22:45,332
How did you...?

1142
01:22:45,457 --> 01:22:48,335
Sometimes, the fastest car
it is not fast enough, Mademoiselle.

1143
01:22:49,055 --> 01:22:51,694
Not when it races against the brain.

1144
01:22:53,613 --> 01:22:55,092
Where are the children?

1145
01:22:55,652 --> 01:22:58,530
- Elsie's taken them to the Zoo.
- Thank Heaven for that!

1146
01:23:08,886 --> 01:23:10,842
I know that you killed your husband,
Madame.

1147
01:23:13,245 --> 01:23:14,360
Yes.

1148
01:23:15,963 --> 01:23:17,157
I did.

1149
01:23:18,162 --> 01:23:19,720
Why did you do it, Gerda?

1150
01:23:21,041 --> 01:23:22,554
Why did you kill John?

1151
01:23:22,680 --> 01:23:24,591
Because it was all a lie!

1152
01:23:26,599 --> 01:23:27,793
Everything!

1153
01:23:29,677 --> 01:23:32,555
I thought he was the noblest man
in the world.

1154
01:23:35,634 --> 01:23:37,943
But I saw his face

1155
01:23:38,673 --> 01:23:41,426
when he followed that woman,
that evening...

1156
01:23:49,029 --> 01:23:52,465
I knew he'd loved her,
before he'd married me, but I thought...

1157
01:23:55,426 --> 01:23:57,018
I thought it was over.

1158
01:23:59,024 --> 01:24:02,141
<i>I tried to sleep, but I couldn't.</i>

1159
01:24:07,141 --> 01:24:08,574
<i>It was the middle of the night.</i>

1160
01:24:11,019 --> 01:24:12,577
<i>I had to know.</i>

1161
01:24:15,977 --> 01:24:17,456
They were there.

1162
01:24:19,295 --> 01:24:20,853
I could hear them.

1163
01:24:24,093 --> 01:24:25,128
John

1164
01:24:27,732 --> 01:24:29,484
and Veronica Cray.

1165
01:24:46,523 --> 01:24:47,922
I believed in him

1166
01:24:48,962 --> 01:24:50,520
as though he were God.

1167
01:24:51,521 --> 01:24:52,840
I worshiped him.

1168
01:24:55,400 --> 01:24:57,436
And it was all a lie.

1169
01:25:00,597 --> 01:25:01,916
I had to kill him.

1170
01:25:03,916 --> 01:25:05,144
You do see that?

1171
01:25:07,594 --> 01:25:08,743
I had to!

1172
01:25:13,071 --> 01:25:16,143
I am not quite so stupid
as everyone thinks.

1173
01:25:24,547 --> 01:25:27,698
<i>I knew I could kill John
and the Police would never know</i>

1174
01:25:28,705 --> 01:25:31,094
<i>because I had read in this novel</i>

1175
01:25:31,384 --> 01:25:34,296
<i>how they can tell
which gun fires the bullet.</i>

1176
01:25:35,662 --> 01:25:37,095
<i>So, I took two.</i>

1177
01:25:45,337 --> 01:25:48,693
<i>Sir Henry had shown
how to load and fire</i>

1178
01:25:48,856 --> 01:25:50,130
<i>the day before. It was easy.</i>

1179
01:25:50,295 --> 01:25:51,774
You shove the cilinder
back into the frame

1180
01:25:52,894 --> 01:25:54,327
and you're ready for shooting.

1181
01:26:11,006 --> 01:26:12,758
<i>I'd shot with one</i>

1182
01:26:13,485 --> 01:26:14,964
<i>then hide it</i>

1183
01:26:16,404 --> 01:26:19,316
<i>and let them find me
holding the other.</i>

1184
01:26:20,282 --> 01:26:23,354
<i>I forgot about the leather thing.</i>

1185
01:26:24,200 --> 01:26:27,272
- The holster.
- I forgot about it too.

1186
01:26:28,198 --> 01:26:29,551
I also forgot.

1187
01:26:30,718 --> 01:26:34,427
The memory, it is selective,
<i>n'est ce pas?</i>

1188
01:26:36,315 --> 01:26:39,625
And then I heard Inspector Grange
mention this holster, this holster of leather--

1189
01:26:42,272 --> 01:26:44,263
I remembered where I had seen it before.

1190
01:26:47,070 --> 01:26:48,344
What's that?

1191
01:26:51,628 --> 01:26:53,300
Looks like leather work, sir.

1192
01:26:56,946 --> 01:26:59,506
Where is your bag
for the leather work?

1193
01:27:04,183 --> 01:27:05,821
I-I think it's in the surgery.

1194
01:27:06,462 --> 01:27:07,690
The surgery?

1195
01:27:08,500 --> 01:27:12,049
I seat there. In his chair.

1196
01:27:15,337 --> 01:27:17,248
I'll fetch it for you, shall I?

1197
01:27:24,174 --> 01:27:25,448
<i>S'il vous plaît.</i>

1198
01:27:31,131 --> 01:27:32,280
But Madame...

1199
01:27:34,369 --> 01:27:35,961
Oh, I'm not going anywhere,

1200
01:27:38,768 --> 01:27:40,121
don't worry.

1201
01:28:17,150 --> 01:28:19,710
When you return to your studio, I'm afraid you'll discover

1202
01:28:19,830 --> 01:28:22,503
that one of your sculptures,
it has been destroyed.

1203
01:28:22,828 --> 01:28:25,058
It is the sculpture
of the head of the horse.

1204
01:28:31,504 --> 01:28:33,335
It could have worked, <i>Mademoiselle,

1205
01:28:33,703 --> 01:28:36,422
if you did not tell me
how much you detested the creatures.

1206
01:28:39,581 --> 01:28:41,412
I know that you were helped
by your family,

1207
01:28:41,820 --> 01:28:44,129
once they knew what you wanted done.

1208
01:28:46,738 --> 01:28:48,012
Henrietta.

1209
01:28:48,377 --> 01:28:50,811
Isn't it possible that Gerda
came along by the pool,

1210
01:28:50,935 --> 01:28:52,448
found John lying there

1211
01:28:52,575 --> 01:28:55,248
and just picked up the revolver
when we came on the scene?

1212
01:28:56,213 --> 01:28:58,602
This is what Gerda says?

1213
01:29:00,332 --> 01:29:01,447
Yes.

1214
01:29:04,489 --> 01:29:06,525
But why do you wanted it done,
<i>Mademoiselle?

1215
01:29:06,649 --> 01:29:08,287
Because John asked me to.

1216
01:29:09,208 --> 01:29:11,438
That's what he meant
when he said, "Henrietta".

1217
01:29:11,566 --> 01:29:13,318
He was asking me to protect
Gerda.

1218
01:29:13,486 --> 01:29:16,046
And he knew that I'd do
anything he wanted, because...

1219
01:29:17,284 --> 01:29:18,478
... I loved him.

1220
01:29:20,843 --> 01:29:21,992
<i>Oui.</i>

1221
01:29:34,037 --> 01:29:35,834
I began to realize the truth

1222
01:29:36,476 --> 01:29:40,264
when I saw there was a pattern,
a pattern to implicate everyone,

1223
01:29:41,074 --> 01:29:42,985
other than Gerda Christow.

1224
01:29:44,912 --> 01:29:48,029
You deliberatly planted Igdrasil

1225
01:29:48,191 --> 01:29:50,910
to catch my attention
and put yourself under suspicion.

1226
01:29:51,469 --> 01:29:53,141
I put the pistol on the egg basket

1227
01:29:53,308 --> 01:29:55,663
and then I put the new eggs
on top of the pistol.

1228
01:29:55,987 --> 01:29:58,217
Oh, I doubt there'll be
any fingerprints, sir.

1229
01:29:58,346 --> 01:30:01,543
Because I polished it with my handkerchief
before replacing it, sir.

1230
01:30:02,464 --> 01:30:05,536
And Lady Angkatell, and the family,
they closed hands and colluded, because...

1231
01:30:07,302 --> 01:30:12,535
There's only one thing to do, if you want
to clear from suspicion the person who is actually guilty,

1232
01:30:15,539 --> 01:30:17,848
suggest guilt elsewhere,

1233
01:30:19,137 --> 01:30:20,775
but never localize it .

1234
01:30:27,093 --> 01:30:28,526
<i>- Vite!</i>
- Oh, my God!

1235
01:30:29,692 --> 01:30:30,727
Gerda!

1236
01:30:32,331 --> 01:30:33,525
Gerda!

1237
01:30:38,808 --> 01:30:40,526
Help her, for God's sake!

1238
01:30:44,086 --> 01:30:45,314
It is too late.

1239
01:30:51,962 --> 01:30:53,441
Potassium Cyanide.

1240
01:30:54,561 --> 01:30:55,835
Wife of a doctor...

1241
01:30:56,561 --> 01:30:58,552
<i>She knew exactly what to do.</i>

1242
01:31:27,706 --> 01:31:29,059
What happens to me now?

1243
01:31:33,904 --> 01:31:35,337
Go, my child.

1244
01:31:38,182 --> 01:31:40,537
Your place is with the living.

1245
01:31:42,580 --> 01:31:44,650
I will remain here with the dead.
