1
00:00:38,454 --> 00:00:40,206
- Good night, Annie.
- Good night, Fi.

2
00:00:40,206 --> 00:00:42,583
Oh, Annie? Will you be going down
The Bluebell tonight?

3
00:00:42,583 --> 00:00:44,043
No, not tonight, tired.

4
00:00:44,043 --> 00:00:48,005
- Early night?
- I wish it was early.

5
00:00:48,548 --> 00:00:51,759
See you tomorrow.

6
00:01:04,105 --> 00:01:08,109
...well, tonight's my lucky night,
gentlemen.

7
00:01:08,609 --> 00:01:12,738
I thank you all for turning up with your
pockets full of donations

8
00:01:12,905 --> 00:01:16,826
to what I can assure you will be
a very worthy cause.

9
00:01:48,941 --> 00:01:53,112
I will raise you... let me see, what kind
of folks do we think you've got

10
00:01:53,154 --> 00:01:55,615
do you have the kind of Daddy
who will pay your debts?

11
00:01:55,615 --> 00:01:59,577
Lieutenant Race.

12
00:01:59,827 --> 00:02:02,747
Excuse me, chaps.

13
00:02:04,916 --> 00:02:06,751
- Race.
- You must come now.

14
00:02:06,751 --> 00:02:11,422
Fiona, darling, I can't. I need twenty more
minutes, sweetie, it's a good night.

15
00:02:11,464 --> 00:02:14,467
It's her, Colin, she's taking something
from the map room...

16
00:02:14,467 --> 00:02:17,428
Twenty minutes, then you've got me for a
lifetime, you won't be able to get rid of me.

17
00:02:17,428 --> 00:02:18,429
She's rolling it up in her...

18
00:02:18,429 --> 00:02:22,266
Fiona, listen, twenty minutes, and then
we can celebrate. Just wait.

19
00:02:23,643 --> 00:02:26,896
Right, where were we?

20
00:02:44,956 --> 00:02:48,042
- Good night.
- Goodnight, ma'am.

21
00:03:43,890 --> 00:03:45,600
Fiona!

22
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,645
Fiona, come here. Fiona! Fiona,
come here.

23
00:03:51,606 --> 00:03:55,401
Fiona! Stop! Come here.
What are you doing?

24
00:03:55,443 --> 00:03:58,029
I saw you. I saw you take the papers.

25
00:03:58,029 --> 00:04:00,239
- Come back with us.
- Get away!

26
00:04:01,365 --> 00:04:05,119
Stop! Please! Stop!

27
00:04:15,421 --> 00:04:19,592
Corrected by SirGawen (2013)

28
00:04:21,427 --> 00:04:25,139
And so madam, may I ask you a question?

29
00:04:25,139 --> 00:04:28,809
You may, but I might not answer.

30
00:04:28,976 --> 00:04:30,478
My mother taught me it was rude to answer

31
00:04:30,478 --> 00:04:34,106
a question before six o'clock in the evening.

32
00:04:34,190 --> 00:04:37,777
Especially from Swedish gentlemen,
Herr Hjerson.

33
00:04:37,777 --> 00:04:39,278
But I'm Finnish.

34
00:04:39,278 --> 00:04:43,115
I wish you would finish, I'd like
to go and get myself a drink.

35
00:04:45,326 --> 00:04:49,121
Do you not think that the murder
of your husband -

36
00:04:49,330 --> 00:04:50,331
Lipstick.

37
00:04:50,331 --> 00:04:53,835
the scarlet lipstick on his collar,
the Bible on his desk...

38
00:04:53,835 --> 00:04:55,044
The Good Samaritan.

39
00:04:55,044 --> 00:04:58,047
...open at the page of
The Good Samaritan, the word...

40
00:04:58,047 --> 00:04:59,215
Revenge...

41
00:04:59,215 --> 00:05:02,802
"Revenge" written in his blood on the blotter.

42
00:05:02,802 --> 00:05:07,515
...is littered with what we
call in Finnish "puna silli"?

43
00:05:29,078 --> 00:05:32,832
...isn't Ariadne Oliver clever.

44
00:05:37,128 --> 00:05:40,548
I didn't think fiction was your thing, Poirot.

45
00:05:40,590 --> 00:05:45,720
Oh, mon dieu. It is my friend Colin.
But it has been so long.

46
00:05:45,761 --> 00:05:46,846
Good evening, Sir.

47
00:05:46,846 --> 00:05:50,433
How does your father,
my good friend Colonel Race?

48
00:05:50,433 --> 00:05:54,312
The old man's fine. Enjoying his retirement.

49
00:05:54,604 --> 00:05:57,607
Another whiskey for my young
friend, s'il vous plait.

50
00:05:57,607 --> 00:05:58,649
Thank you.

51
00:05:58,649 --> 00:06:01,485
Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats.

52
00:06:01,485 --> 00:06:03,487
I need your help, sir.

53
00:06:03,487 --> 00:06:07,241
But of course. I realise that this
meeting it is not a coincidence.

54
00:06:08,826 --> 00:06:11,537
I imagine that you sought me at
my apartment and George,

55
00:06:11,537 --> 00:06:14,540
mon valet, told you where I could be found.

56
00:06:14,540 --> 00:06:18,628
But if I may, you have
the appearance of such a one

57
00:06:18,669 --> 00:06:22,715
who has travelled this evening
a great distance.

58
00:06:23,257 --> 00:06:24,550
- Dover.
- Ah.

59
00:06:24,550 --> 00:06:27,929
Can we talk after the final act? I don't
want to ruin your enjoyment of the play.

60
00:06:27,929 --> 00:06:30,389
No, no, no, for Poirot the play it is over.

61
00:06:30,389 --> 00:06:34,519
With my dear friend, Madame Oliver,
the puzzle it is not so intricate.

62
00:06:35,311 --> 00:06:39,232
No, no, she is not in the same class
as par example, Monsieur Garry Gregson,

63
00:06:39,315 --> 00:06:41,734
- You are acquainted with his books?
- Of course.

64
00:06:41,734 --> 00:06:45,488
Alors, let us find somewhere here to sit
and you'll permit me to help you, mon ami.

65
00:06:48,699 --> 00:06:51,035
- There's a girl in Dover.
- Ah...

66
00:06:51,035 --> 00:06:54,205
...she works in one of those
secretarial bureaus,

67
00:06:54,205 --> 00:06:57,208
you know a typist place you
ring in and hire a typist

68
00:06:57,208 --> 00:07:00,795
for an hour or whatever you want...

69
00:07:00,795 --> 00:07:03,840
And how does she call herself?

70
00:07:04,799 --> 00:07:06,300
Sheila Webb. Are you all right?

71
00:07:06,300 --> 00:07:10,054
Ah, oui, oui. Poirot he listens.

72
00:07:10,054 --> 00:07:14,934
Anyway, yesterday a very strange
thing happened to Sheila Webb.

73
00:07:25,027 --> 00:07:28,239
...four and six, I only got them yesterday
from Jolly's and the heel snaps

74
00:07:28,239 --> 00:07:31,701
off like a twig in a storm. Sheila,
have a look at this!

75
00:07:31,701 --> 00:07:34,203
Four and six from Jolly's,
I strut off to lunch and the heel

76
00:07:34,203 --> 00:07:36,414
snaps in a grate like a twig in a storm.

77
00:07:36,414 --> 00:07:39,375
Aren't you supposed to be typing
up Mr Levine's manuscript, Nora?

78
00:07:39,375 --> 00:07:41,335
"Naked Love", yes, Miss Martindale.

79
00:07:41,335 --> 00:07:43,963
Then put your shoes away
and get on with "Naked Love".

80
00:07:43,963 --> 00:07:45,506
Miss Webb, may I have a word?

81
00:07:45,548 --> 00:07:47,633
<i>"...Desire had him in its grasp,
with frenzied fingers</i>

82
00:07:47,633 --> 00:07:49,719
<i>he tore the fragile chiffon
from her breasts</i>

83
00:07:49,927 --> 00:07:54,682
<i>and bent her over the soap..."
</i> What?

84
00:07:54,682 --> 00:07:57,018
I've had a call from a Miss Pebmarsh.

85
00:07:57,018 --> 00:08:00,855
She wants a stenographer for three o'clock.
She asked for you particularly.

86
00:08:00,938 --> 00:08:03,357
Have you worked for her before?

87
00:08:03,357 --> 00:08:05,026
I can't remember doing so, Miss Martindale.

88
00:08:05,026 --> 00:08:08,696
19 Wilbraham Crescent.

89
00:08:09,030 --> 00:08:10,031
I can't remember going there.

90
00:08:10,031 --> 00:08:13,701
Well, it's you she asked for, for three.
Have you any other appointments?

91
00:08:16,162 --> 00:08:21,334
Oh yes. Professor Purdy
at 5 at the Castle Hotel.

92
00:08:23,085 --> 00:08:26,088
Cavendish Secretarial Services -
one moment please.

93
00:08:26,830 --> 00:08:30,584
Sheila, Miss Pebmarsh said if she's not
there, the door's not latched,

94
00:08:30,584 --> 00:08:33,629
you're to let yourself in and wait.

95
00:08:32,929 --> 00:08:36,849
Good afternoon. How may I help you?

96
00:08:39,601 --> 00:08:43,438
So Sheila goes. And she really doesn't
recognise the place.

97
00:08:43,730 --> 00:08:47,192
Wilbraham Crescent is one of those quiet
streets away from the sea front,

98
00:08:47,192 --> 00:08:50,987
where everyone keeps
themselves to themselves.

99
00:09:02,541 --> 00:09:04,960
Hello?

100
00:09:05,001 --> 00:09:07,963
Miss Pebmarsh?

101
00:09:14,219 --> 00:09:17,389
Sheila Webb here from Cavendish?

102
00:09:21,768 --> 00:09:25,772
Miss Pebmarsh, if it's all right,
I'm going to sit in the front room.

103
00:10:30,795 --> 00:10:34,424
Is somebody here? Is somebody in my house?

104
00:10:39,846 --> 00:10:43,725
There's somebody in this room. Who are you?

105
00:10:44,518 --> 00:10:47,729
Don't step on him he's dead!
YOU'RE GOING TO STEP ON HIM!

106
00:10:47,771 --> 00:10:51,316
WHO ARE YOU?

107
00:10:56,196 --> 00:10:57,989
- Please help me!
- What is it?

108
00:10:58,031 --> 00:11:01,076
He's in there, he's dead and he's dead

109
00:11:01,076 --> 00:11:03,161
and he's just lying there dead,
stabbed on the floor.

110
00:11:03,203 --> 00:11:04,955
- Who's been stabbed? Calm down.
- In there!

111
00:11:04,955 --> 00:11:07,791
- Someone's dead in there?
- Yes, please help me.

112
00:11:07,833 --> 00:11:11,086
I will help you, I will help you.

113
00:11:11,127 --> 00:11:13,338
Are you saying there's a dead
man lying in number 19?

114
00:11:13,338 --> 00:11:15,423
Yes.

115
00:11:15,423 --> 00:11:19,219
- All right. Well let's go in.
- No, no, no.

116
00:11:19,344 --> 00:11:21,263
Look, then let me go in.
And then I'll call the police.

117
00:11:21,263 --> 00:11:23,431
- She's in there too.
- Who?

118
00:11:23,473 --> 00:11:25,058
Miss Pebmarsh.

119
00:11:25,100 --> 00:11:28,728
Right, well sit down and breathe.

120
00:11:29,771 --> 00:11:33,191
- Stay here. I will help you.
- Yes.

121
00:11:45,287 --> 00:11:48,874
- Miss Pebmarsh?
- Who are you?

122
00:11:48,874 --> 00:11:52,377
I'm Lieutenant Race. I was passing by.

123
00:11:52,377 --> 00:11:56,006
There's a dead man behind my sofa.

124
00:12:00,802 --> 00:12:03,555
- How did this happen?
- I don't know.

125
00:12:03,555 --> 00:12:05,056
- Who is he?
- I don't know.

126
00:12:05,098 --> 00:12:08,810
I live alone. I came home from work.
There was an hysteric in the house.

127
00:12:08,810 --> 00:12:13,064
She left screaming.
And I find a dead man behind the sofa.

128
00:12:14,524 --> 00:12:15,901
You're very calm.

129
00:12:15,901 --> 00:12:19,654
When you saw what I saw
in the Great War, Lieutenant Race.

130
00:12:19,696 --> 00:12:23,408
You know a dead man is not
something to be scared of.

131
00:12:23,658 --> 00:12:27,579
If you will invite the young hysteric in,
I'll make her a cup of sweet tea.

132
00:12:28,955 --> 00:12:32,083
- I'll call the police.
- Very good.

133
00:12:32,584 --> 00:12:34,085
Who was this dead man?

134
00:12:34,085 --> 00:12:38,131
Well... it's much stranger than that, Poirot.

135
00:12:39,174 --> 00:12:40,759
Was he known to
Mademoiselle Sheila Webb?

136
00:12:40,759 --> 00:12:42,260
Apparently not.

137
00:12:42,260 --> 00:12:44,763
No I've never seen
him before, Inspector.

138
00:12:44,763 --> 00:12:47,933
And you're positive about that?

139
00:12:47,974 --> 00:12:50,769
Miss Martindale said to come here
for three o'clock and let myself in.

140
00:12:50,769 --> 00:12:54,648
And then I noticed the clocks, and I thought
I might have got the wrong time,

141
00:12:54,981 --> 00:12:59,444
and then just before Miss Pebmarsh
arrived I noticed the man lying there.

142
00:12:59,444 --> 00:13:01,029
Have you worked for Miss Pebmarsh before?

143
00:13:01,071 --> 00:13:04,908
No, and that's the thing, sir.

144
00:13:04,950 --> 00:13:07,118
She asked for me specially,
I don't know how she knew me.

145
00:13:07,118 --> 00:13:10,831
Sir. We can't find the murder
weapon, there's no knife.

146
00:13:10,872 --> 00:13:15,836
He's a "Mr RH Curry.
Metropolitan and Provincial Insurance".

147
00:13:17,712 --> 00:13:20,924
I don't know him.

148
00:13:21,424 --> 00:13:24,469
Stay here.

149
00:13:30,058 --> 00:13:33,812
I've never heard the name Curry,
or the name of his firm.

150
00:13:35,939 --> 00:13:37,816
Were you expecting any visitor today?

151
00:13:37,858 --> 00:13:41,152
No. And I've never seen this man before.

152
00:13:41,152 --> 00:13:43,738
Take him away.

153
00:13:43,738 --> 00:13:45,824
Just the typist you ordered.

154
00:13:45,824 --> 00:13:49,244
I didn't order a typist,
what are you talking about?

155
00:13:49,244 --> 00:13:51,663
You didn't ring up the Cavendish
Bureau at lunchtime today

156
00:13:51,705 --> 00:13:53,665
and ask for the services of Sheila Webb?

157
00:13:53,665 --> 00:13:57,419
Certainly not. And I've never
heard of a Sheila Webb.

158
00:13:58,837 --> 00:14:00,172
Where were you at lunchtime?

159
00:14:00,172 --> 00:14:03,842
I work part time at Mr Wright's
photography studio on the parade.

160
00:14:04,342 --> 00:14:08,555
Taking bookings. Seeing people in.
Lunchtime can be quite busy.

161
00:14:08,555 --> 00:14:11,683
And you didn't call the Cavendish Bureau?

162
00:14:11,683 --> 00:14:13,351
No, young man, I did not.

163
00:14:13,351 --> 00:14:17,105
I did my shift and returned home
as usual just after three.

164
00:14:17,314 --> 00:14:21,276
I know I wasn't late because I heard my
cuckoo clock as I approached the door.

165
00:14:21,318 --> 00:14:25,197
What about your other clocks? Why were they
all set to thirteen minutes past four?

166
00:14:26,156 --> 00:14:27,365
What "other clocks"?

167
00:14:27,365 --> 00:14:30,035
Your four other clocks in the sitting room.

168
00:14:30,035 --> 00:14:33,455
There are no four other
clocks in the sitting room.

169
00:14:33,455 --> 00:14:36,708
Just my cuckoo clock.

170
00:14:37,459 --> 00:14:40,795
Mademoiselle Pebmarsh does she always
keep unlocked her door?

171
00:14:40,795 --> 00:14:42,881
You're thinking I imagine of her neighbours?

172
00:14:42,923 --> 00:14:44,382
Oui.

173
00:14:44,424 --> 00:14:47,469
They saw nothing.
On one side there's a cat lady

174
00:14:47,511 --> 00:14:49,888
who literally could speak of nothing else.

175
00:14:49,888 --> 00:14:52,390
Tiddly-pops likes chicken,

176
00:14:52,432 --> 00:14:56,102
and Copenhagen loves
his kidneys - don't you Copey?

177
00:14:56,311 --> 00:14:58,563
On the other side a brother
and sister - academics.

178
00:14:58,605 --> 00:15:02,150
They saw nothing at
all during lunch time.

179
00:15:02,192 --> 00:15:04,903
At the back of the house
there's no access at all.

180
00:15:04,903 --> 00:15:06,488
And Mademoiselle Martindale?

181
00:15:06,488 --> 00:15:08,740
It wasn't Miss Pebmarsh who rang me?

182
00:15:08,740 --> 00:15:10,325
Did you take the call yourself?

183
00:15:10,325 --> 00:15:14,079
Yes, at about a quarter to two.
And I put her in the book.

184
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:18,834
These clocks. Definitely they do
not belong to Mademoiselle Pebmarsh?

185
00:15:18,834 --> 00:15:21,336
That's what she says.

186
00:15:21,336 --> 00:15:24,339
Eh bien. It is a puzzle.

187
00:15:24,339 --> 00:15:28,301
But there is something else
that puzzles Poirot. You.

188
00:15:29,302 --> 00:15:33,098
Why was Colin Race in Wilbraham Crescent
at three o'clock yesterday afternoon?

189
00:15:34,099 --> 00:15:37,727
And why do the police permit that you should
ask questions during the interviews?

190
00:15:39,229 --> 00:15:43,567
And why is it that your eyes are
inflamed with crying my dear friend?

191
00:15:47,737 --> 00:15:51,032
I have a commission in the Navy,

192
00:15:53,952 --> 00:15:55,620
but I'm... I'm Ml6.

193
00:15:55,662 --> 00:16:00,709
Under Dover Castle, ever since the Napoleonic
wars there's been a series of tunnels.

194
00:16:01,793 --> 00:16:04,629
We are in the process of turning
them into a bomb-proof HQ

195
00:16:04,629 --> 00:16:06,548
where the Navy could police the channel

196
00:16:06,590 --> 00:16:09,968
from were things to come
a second war with Germany.

197
00:16:10,010 --> 00:16:13,471
I've been trying to locate
a German mole amongst the staff,

198
00:16:13,513 --> 00:16:17,184
and... three nights ago I found her.

199
00:16:17,976 --> 00:16:21,855
Annabel Larkin. She was
followed and she was killed.

200
00:16:23,023 --> 00:16:25,567
Along with the woman I loved.

201
00:16:25,609 --> 00:16:28,528
Fiona Hanbury.

202
00:16:29,070 --> 00:16:32,282
Who died because I wasn't there.

203
00:16:42,959 --> 00:16:46,254
Amongst Fiona's things I found this.

204
00:16:48,632 --> 00:16:51,259
A crescent.

205
00:16:51,301 --> 00:16:53,428
The letter M.

206
00:16:53,428 --> 00:16:54,513
61.

207
00:16:54,513 --> 00:16:57,849
I think it's a note as to where
Fiona followed Larkin.

208
00:16:57,891 --> 00:16:59,434
Where the contact was.

209
00:16:59,476 --> 00:17:03,563
I checked out The Crescent pub,
and the half dozen crescent roads in Dover.

210
00:17:03,563 --> 00:17:06,274
Yet, and you were checking
out Wilbraham Crescent

211
00:17:06,316 --> 00:17:10,320
at the very instant as Sheila
Webb she runs out of number 19.

212
00:17:10,820 --> 00:17:15,492
Yes, I was checking again, it was closest
to the scene of the accident

213
00:17:16,535 --> 00:17:20,372
and I may sound crazy, but I don't
believe it was a coincidence.

214
00:17:20,872 --> 00:17:24,209
I believe the man dead in Wilbraham Crescent

215
00:17:24,251 --> 00:17:26,461
must be connected in some
way to Annabel Larkin...

216
00:17:26,503 --> 00:17:27,629
Possible.

217
00:17:27,671 --> 00:17:29,130
And I don't believe what
the police are thinking.

218
00:17:29,172 --> 00:17:30,632
That Sheila Webb is a murderer.

219
00:17:30,632 --> 00:17:32,801
- I see.
- She's the main suspect.

220
00:17:32,801 --> 00:17:36,680
She was the one that found the body, she's
the one they can place alone in the house.

221
00:17:38,390 --> 00:17:41,059
I saw how scared she was when she ran out.

222
00:17:41,059 --> 00:17:42,394
Help me!

223
00:17:42,394 --> 00:17:44,145
I know she's not a murderer.

224
00:17:44,187 --> 00:17:46,231
I will. I will help you.

225
00:17:46,231 --> 00:17:50,402
- and I will not let another girl down
because I was unable to help.

226
00:18:14,384 --> 00:18:16,636
Good morning, gentlemen.

227
00:18:16,678 --> 00:18:19,472
It seems this is a time for co-operation

228
00:18:19,514 --> 00:18:23,018
between the Navy and the
Police, don't you agree?

229
00:18:23,059 --> 00:18:26,438
We want to flush out what remains
of this German cell in Dover.

230
00:18:26,438 --> 00:18:29,191
Intelligence tells me it
could well be connected

231
00:18:29,232 --> 00:18:33,445
with the murder of this Insurance agent in
- where was it? - Wilbraham Crescent.

232
00:18:33,445 --> 00:18:36,865
That hasn't been verified yet, Admiral.

233
00:18:36,865 --> 00:18:38,283
It's not Wilbraham Crescent?

234
00:18:38,325 --> 00:18:41,953
No, that he was an Insurance agent.

235
00:18:41,995 --> 00:18:44,956
Inspector, may I introduce
you to Hercule Poirot

236
00:18:44,998 --> 00:18:50,003
who Lieutenant Race has requested be
brought in to help this investigation.

237
00:18:50,003 --> 00:18:51,171
Well I think we can...

238
00:18:51,213 --> 00:18:53,381
I've verified this with Whitehall
and Scotland Yard

239
00:18:53,381 --> 00:18:57,427
and they tell me he is a private
detective of excellent reputation,

240
00:18:57,427 --> 00:18:59,387
and that we're lucky to have him on board.

241
00:18:59,387 --> 00:19:03,141
If that's what I have to work
with, that's what I work with.

242
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,478
Any ideas Mr Poirot,
just pop them in the pot.

243
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:07,604
Merci.

244
00:19:07,646 --> 00:19:11,399
It seems that if we solve one
of our problems here,

245
00:19:11,399 --> 00:19:14,319
we'll solve the other. Monsieur,
may I have a word?

246
00:19:14,361 --> 00:19:17,697
Admiral. Inspector.

247
00:19:21,827 --> 00:19:24,329
I remember your days from
the Belgian police force, Monsieur.

248
00:19:24,371 --> 00:19:27,958
Or at least your reputation.

249
00:19:28,083 --> 00:19:31,586
- When did you leave?
- After the Great War.

250
00:19:31,628 --> 00:19:35,757
Yes. Do you know what they called this
stretch of the channel during the war?

251
00:19:36,675 --> 00:19:37,759
Hellfire Corner.

252
00:19:37,801 --> 00:19:41,721
And it will be again. Because there
will be a second war, Poirot.

253
00:19:42,556 --> 00:19:46,601
And if Germany invades,
this is where they'll come.

254
00:19:47,978 --> 00:19:51,523
What was stolen the other night were the plans
of our minefields between here and France.

255
00:19:51,565 --> 00:19:56,945
It is essential that those plans are recovered
before they leave these shores, Monsieur.

256
00:19:57,612 --> 00:20:01,741
If Hitler sees them, then the front door
of England will be wide open.

257
00:20:05,287 --> 00:20:08,540
You'll find us very organised
here Mr Poirot, very thorough.

258
00:20:08,540 --> 00:20:12,002
Only last year we dealt with the
suspicious death of a taxi driver

259
00:20:12,002 --> 00:20:15,964
and Scotland Yard made a point
of admiring our attention to detail.

260
00:20:18,717 --> 00:20:22,512
Evidence as you see is documented
in a system of my own devising.

261
00:20:23,180 --> 00:20:26,558
The Prime Suspect has her
own board, as does the victim,

262
00:20:26,558 --> 00:20:29,060
where we will build up detailed profiles.

263
00:20:29,102 --> 00:20:32,189
But for me the key is this diagram here,

264
00:20:32,230 --> 00:20:35,317
and the key phrase for my investigation is

265
00:20:35,358 --> 00:20:39,154
"Someone Will Have Seen Something"!

266
00:20:39,321 --> 00:20:40,655
Oui, c'est tres bien ca.

267
00:20:40,697 --> 00:20:43,950
As you can see, from the
unusual design of the street,

268
00:20:43,950 --> 00:20:47,829
it is actually a crescent that
doubles backs on itself, Mr Poirot.

269
00:20:48,371 --> 00:20:49,581
Oui.

270
00:20:49,581 --> 00:20:52,334
All of them knew Miss Pebmarsh
had a set routine,

271
00:20:52,375 --> 00:20:56,004
and the house would be empty
in the middle of the day.

272
00:20:56,171 --> 00:20:58,798
And who lives opposite Mademoiselle
Pebmarsh at number 61?

273
00:20:58,798 --> 00:21:00,884
Mr and Mrs Bland.

274
00:21:00,884 --> 00:21:04,513
A Monsieur Bland? Already that
arouses my suspicious.

275
00:21:04,513 --> 00:21:06,431
Oh no, no, no, he's a good man.

276
00:21:06,431 --> 00:21:08,767
Built my mother-in-law a fireplace actually.

277
00:21:08,767 --> 00:21:12,812
I had London run a check on him straight
away, sir, he's as clean as a whistle.

278
00:21:12,812 --> 00:21:15,273
And the murder weapon, it has been recovered?

279
00:21:15,273 --> 00:21:16,858
Er, no, no.

280
00:21:16,858 --> 00:21:19,861
And there was no sign of a struggle
in the house of Mlle Pebmarsh?

281
00:21:19,903 --> 00:21:21,488
Absolutely not.

282
00:21:21,488 --> 00:21:24,366
Then I would like to interview
the neighbours today, if I may.

283
00:21:24,407 --> 00:21:27,077
Already done. There are the statements.

284
00:21:27,077 --> 00:21:29,955
Non. Poirot would like
to ask questions of his own.

285
00:21:29,996 --> 00:21:31,957
Yes. Already done it.

286
00:21:31,998 --> 00:21:35,627
I would like to ask questions of
my own, Inspector Hardcastle.

287
00:21:35,627 --> 00:21:38,922
Of course you would. Of course.

288
00:21:38,964 --> 00:21:40,131
These are the clocks?

289
00:21:40,173 --> 00:21:42,968
Yes, and we're on the sniff to find out where

290
00:21:43,009 --> 00:21:49,140
and when they were purchased.
Dresden China clock. A French thing...

291
00:21:49,140 --> 00:21:50,976
Ormolu.

292
00:21:51,017 --> 00:21:53,645
And the silver carriage.

293
00:21:53,645 --> 00:21:55,313
Where is the fourth clock?

294
00:21:55,355 --> 00:21:59,776
There were only three clocks sir.
Unless you count the cuckoo clock.

295
00:21:59,776 --> 00:22:02,279
No, no, no I do not count the cuckoo,

296
00:22:02,279 --> 00:22:05,740
there was a fourth clock, a travelling clock.
And on it a name. "Rosemary".

297
00:22:05,740 --> 00:22:06,741
That's right.

298
00:22:06,741 --> 00:22:09,744
Don't tell me we've lost
a clock, for goodness sake!

299
00:22:09,786 --> 00:22:14,207
When I boxed the evidence sir, there were
definitely only three clocks in that room.

300
00:22:20,172 --> 00:22:23,425
Well of course I remember the "Rosemary"
clock, have the police lost it?

301
00:22:23,466 --> 00:22:27,387
Perhaps. Perhaps it is stolen.

302
00:22:27,929 --> 00:22:29,848
- Why?
- I do not know, Mademoiselle.

303
00:22:29,848 --> 00:22:33,852
I cannot think it would be of any value.

304
00:22:33,852 --> 00:22:36,271
No, it was a shabby thing.

305
00:22:36,313 --> 00:22:38,023
The ormolu was pretty though.

306
00:22:38,023 --> 00:22:40,650
Oui, oui.

307
00:22:40,859 --> 00:22:43,028
Thank you.

308
00:22:43,028 --> 00:22:46,615
Non, non, non. Merci.

309
00:22:46,656 --> 00:22:49,618
I'll have them both then.

310
00:22:50,994 --> 00:22:54,206
Mademoiselle, the Lieutenant Race
has told to me that these last

311
00:22:54,206 --> 00:22:58,126
few days have been for you quite an ordeal.

312
00:22:58,293 --> 00:23:01,296
Yes. It's not the shock of seeing
a dead man, that passes.

313
00:23:01,338 --> 00:23:04,382
It's the terrible suspicion
the police have of me now. It's...

314
00:23:04,382 --> 00:23:06,718
Did you see that board he had up, Poirot?

315
00:23:06,718 --> 00:23:09,387
He had nothing on it, no evidence, nothing.

316
00:23:09,387 --> 00:23:12,140
Have you told to the police the truth
in everything, mademoiselle?

317
00:23:12,182 --> 00:23:13,725
Of course, sir.

318
00:23:13,767 --> 00:23:16,895
Then you have no need to worry.

319
00:23:20,649 --> 00:23:22,901
I need to get back to work.

320
00:23:22,901 --> 00:23:24,152
And so should we.

321
00:23:24,152 --> 00:23:25,654
Will you be all right getting back, Miss Webb?

322
00:23:25,695 --> 00:23:27,322
Yes, I'll be fine. Thank you.

323
00:23:27,364 --> 00:23:31,409
Mademoiselle? Do you know what
means the name Rosemary?

324
00:23:32,369 --> 00:23:33,245
No.

325
00:23:33,286 --> 00:23:36,248
It means "Remembrance".

326
00:23:36,289 --> 00:23:39,417
Oh. Remembrance.

327
00:23:39,459 --> 00:23:43,255
- Good bye.
- Au revoir.

328
00:23:57,894 --> 00:24:00,355
Merci.

329
00:24:02,274 --> 00:24:06,194
I saw and heard nothing on the day of
the murder until I heard the girl scream.

330
00:24:07,571 --> 00:24:12,284
Tiddly-pops was having one of his turns you
see and I was singing to him to calm him down.

331
00:24:13,827 --> 00:24:17,956
You seem a bit agitated yourself
Monsieur, shall I sing to you?

332
00:24:17,956 --> 00:24:21,293
Non, non, non, merci, Madame.

333
00:24:21,334 --> 00:24:25,130
Tell to me if you please, do you have much
contact with Mlle Pebmarsh?

334
00:24:25,422 --> 00:24:29,759
Oh no, no, she keeps herself to herself,
and does terribly well for a blindy.

335
00:24:30,302 --> 00:24:35,432
I see her pass by the window to and from the
photographic studio, regular as clockwork.

336
00:24:35,432 --> 00:24:41,938
I think if she were a cat she'd be one
of TS Eliot's practical cats, don't you?

337
00:24:41,938 --> 00:24:44,691
Oui.

338
00:24:46,693 --> 00:24:48,570
Pardon, Madame, do you think
I might possibly see

339
00:24:48,612 --> 00:24:52,240
your garden and so
remove myself from here?

340
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,661
Oh yes, yes, have you
realised that if you write

341
00:24:56,661 --> 00:25:01,041
TS Eliot backwards it spells toilets?

342
00:25:03,752 --> 00:25:06,004
Well almost.

343
00:25:06,004 --> 00:25:09,633
Copenhagen pointed that out
to me, didn't you, Copey?

344
00:25:10,342 --> 00:25:12,677
The bane of our neighbourhood...
are the Mabbutts.

345
00:25:12,677 --> 00:25:16,598
Number sixty-two.
He has girls with catapults.

346
00:25:17,265 --> 00:25:21,645
In fact I heard Miss Pebmarsh have
hard words with Mr Mabbutt

347
00:25:21,645 --> 00:25:25,315
just the other evening about
their behaviour.

348
00:25:25,357 --> 00:25:27,609
May I ask,

349
00:25:27,609 --> 00:25:31,488
was there any connection between the murdered
man and Miss Pebmarsh, Lieutenant?

350
00:25:31,488 --> 00:25:34,449
I believe not.

351
00:25:34,741 --> 00:25:39,287
That's unusual too. So he just
came there to be killed, did he?

352
00:25:43,500 --> 00:25:46,545
Miss Pebmarsh is as quiet as a church
mouse, isn't she, Matthew?

353
00:25:46,586 --> 00:25:47,546
Yes.

354
00:25:47,587 --> 00:25:50,298
We heard neither hide nor hair -
we told the other Inspector

355
00:25:50,298 --> 00:25:52,884
this, I don't know why we're
being asked again.

356
00:25:52,926 --> 00:25:55,053
She would have left her house
at eleven on the day

357
00:25:55,053 --> 00:25:57,305
of the murder and got back at three.

358
00:25:57,305 --> 00:25:59,891
Yes, well that's her routine,
I'm sure everyone knows that.

359
00:25:59,933 --> 00:26:03,895
And it is during that time that M. Curry would
have entered the house and met his death.

360
00:26:04,688 --> 00:26:08,650
Tell to me if you please,
before the girl screamed,

361
00:26:08,775 --> 00:26:11,987
did you hear perhaps any sound of a struggle?

362
00:26:11,987 --> 00:26:16,199
We don't know this man, and our studies
are at the back of the house, Lieutenant.

363
00:26:16,199 --> 00:26:17,909
We're academics you see...

364
00:26:17,909 --> 00:26:20,579
And neither my brother nor I heard
anything at all during luncheon.

365
00:26:20,579 --> 00:26:23,999
We like this street because it's quiet also.

366
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:28,044
Yes, the only trouble we've
had is that Mrs Hemmings.

367
00:26:28,503 --> 00:26:30,422
The cat lady?

368
00:26:30,463 --> 00:26:33,425
She might play the scatty
old dear, Lieutenant,

369
00:26:33,425 --> 00:26:37,971
but scratch the surface and she's
a poisonous old bitch, believe me.

370
00:26:38,763 --> 00:26:40,265
Rachel, we must get back to work.

371
00:26:40,307 --> 00:26:44,060
Yes. Good day, Gentlemen.

372
00:26:44,186 --> 00:26:48,023
- Good day, Madame.
- Good day.

373
00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:54,362
Well it's like every other street in England.

374
00:26:54,404 --> 00:26:56,865
Full of people who keep
themselves to themselves

375
00:26:56,865 --> 00:26:58,617
while hating each other at the same time.

376
00:26:58,658 --> 00:27:02,120
You should know we've had a, well I
was going to say - a breakthrough,

377
00:27:02,162 --> 00:27:04,873
but actually it's the opposite.

378
00:27:04,915 --> 00:27:08,043
The name Curry has turned out
to be bogus, and the Metropolitan

379
00:27:08,043 --> 00:27:11,463
and Provincial Insurance Company
does not and never has existed.

380
00:27:11,505 --> 00:27:15,217
There was anything else
found on the dead man?

381
00:27:16,301 --> 00:27:18,720
Labels on his clothes, or a wallet?

382
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,224
All the labels were cut out.
We have no idea at all who he is.

383
00:27:22,224 --> 00:27:24,476
This is most extraordinary.

384
00:27:24,476 --> 00:27:26,144
Can I tag along with you for a while?

385
00:27:26,144 --> 00:27:29,314
Someone will have seen something, remember.

386
00:27:29,356 --> 00:27:33,401
Yes, of course. Eh bien,
now we go en arriere,

387
00:27:33,401 --> 00:27:37,405
to the rear to a Monsieur and Madame Bland.

388
00:27:40,992 --> 00:27:44,371
I don't recognise him no, do you, Joe?

389
00:27:45,664 --> 00:27:47,249
No, I wish I did.

390
00:27:47,290 --> 00:27:50,168
And we've never had anything
to do with the blind lady.

391
00:27:50,210 --> 00:27:55,215
You read about these murders don't you,
Jack the Ripper, Brides In The Bath, Smith,

392
00:27:55,215 --> 00:27:58,760
and you think if only I'd been
there and seen something.

393
00:27:58,802 --> 00:28:01,513
Stopped it in some way,
or if I couldn't stop it, at least

394
00:28:01,513 --> 00:28:04,182
been useful to the police afterwards.

395
00:28:04,224 --> 00:28:06,017
And now there's one in our
neighbourhood and we just didn't

396
00:28:06,059 --> 00:28:09,604
look out the window at
the right time, did we Valerie?

397
00:28:09,646 --> 00:28:12,190
Well you'll often find there's an
element of luck in police work.

398
00:28:12,232 --> 00:28:16,194
Witnesses looking out of windows
at the right time and...

399
00:28:16,194 --> 00:28:20,991
That's it, it's luck.
It's like falling in love,

400
00:28:21,825 --> 00:28:24,536
it's just lucky that you were
there on that night,

401
00:28:24,578 --> 00:28:28,456
and she was there, and it was luck
that brought you together.

402
00:28:29,249 --> 00:28:31,793
And where is it that you met
your husband, Madame Bland?

403
00:28:31,793 --> 00:28:36,089
Well she was an actress, weren't you?
I was quite low at the time,

404
00:28:36,131 --> 00:28:41,094
and it just so happened that Valerie was
playing The Mikado in Dover, weren't you?

405
00:28:41,094 --> 00:28:43,805
And we'd always go to
the same pub after the show.

406
00:28:43,805 --> 00:28:48,351
And I went there, just to get out
the house, and, well, luck struck.

407
00:28:49,853 --> 00:28:51,813
C'est formidable.

408
00:28:51,813 --> 00:28:55,650
Well this is all very lovely but, if we can
get back to the investigation,

409
00:28:55,692 --> 00:28:58,570
why weren't you working
on the day of the murder?

410
00:28:58,570 --> 00:29:02,282
Oh, I'm almost retired now, Hardcastle.

411
00:29:03,158 --> 00:29:08,455
I've still got the van just to keep my
hand in, but Valerie inherited, well...

412
00:29:08,455 --> 00:29:10,332
A little bit of cash.

413
00:29:10,373 --> 00:29:14,336
Well a lot actually,
from her Canadian family.

414
00:29:15,003 --> 00:29:17,005
Pardon. You are from Canada, Madame?

415
00:29:17,047 --> 00:29:19,591
Well, I haven't lived there for, what is it?

416
00:29:19,633 --> 00:29:21,676
Oh well, it must be nearly twenty years.

417
00:29:21,718 --> 00:29:22,761
Is it twenty?

418
00:29:22,802 --> 00:29:25,847
And she lost her accent when
she went to drama school.

419
00:29:25,847 --> 00:29:26,848
Ah.

420
00:29:26,848 --> 00:29:30,435
And with the money I don't have to work.

421
00:29:30,435 --> 00:29:31,520
That's a bit of luck.

422
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,606
Luck again, it's everywhere.

423
00:29:34,606 --> 00:29:38,568
- Luck Struck.
- Luck struck you see.

424
00:29:39,736 --> 00:29:43,573
Although it didn't strike
for this poor fellow.

425
00:29:43,615 --> 00:29:47,285
It's a pity the Blands weren't
murdered, don't you think?

426
00:29:47,327 --> 00:29:48,453
Or the entire neighbourhood.

427
00:29:48,495 --> 00:29:52,165
That cat woman struggles for a reason
to exist, if you ask me.

428
00:29:52,958 --> 00:29:55,627
Pebmarsh lives in a netherworld
all of her own.

429
00:29:55,669 --> 00:29:59,339
And those Waterhouses are a bit too quiet,

430
00:29:59,548 --> 00:30:03,218
a bit too hush-hush, if you know what I mean.

431
00:30:03,260 --> 00:30:06,304
No, I don't know the deceased, sorry.

432
00:30:06,304 --> 00:30:08,807
I do not know what you mean, Ms Mabbutt.

433
00:30:08,807 --> 00:30:11,726
I don't trust people who read
or write books, Monsieur Poirot.

434
00:30:11,726 --> 00:30:14,896
Never have. It's folks like that who have
got the world into the mess it's in.

435
00:30:14,896 --> 00:30:18,525
Were you here at lunchtime
on the day of the murder?

436
00:30:18,692 --> 00:30:22,320
I was, which is unusual.
I'm often away in the week

437
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,158
and leave everything to the nanny,
my wife has passed on.

438
00:30:26,992 --> 00:30:29,744
I work for Armstrong Ordnance.
We have contracts with the French,

439
00:30:29,744 --> 00:30:32,581
I spend most weeks over there.

440
00:30:32,622 --> 00:30:36,459
Your country is as badly prepared
for war as ours is, Poirot.

441
00:30:36,501 --> 00:30:37,919
I'm Belgian. Not French.

442
00:30:37,919 --> 00:30:39,087
- Are you now?
- Yes.

443
00:30:39,129 --> 00:30:44,634
A Walloon. Well, Belgium won't last
a week if it all goes belly up, will it?

444
00:30:45,218 --> 00:30:48,763
Have you been visited by anyone
selling insurance in the last week?

445
00:30:48,763 --> 00:30:52,100
I told your constable all this, no.

446
00:30:52,142 --> 00:30:55,187
And I didn't hear sounds of a struggle
or some such either.

447
00:30:55,228 --> 00:30:57,689
Can I show you some pictures of some clocks?

448
00:30:57,689 --> 00:30:59,941
I've left them inside,
will you accompany me?

449
00:30:59,983 --> 00:31:03,111
What do I have to look at clocks for?

450
00:31:03,111 --> 00:31:06,948
To see if you recognise them sir,
they're central to the murder.

451
00:31:07,449 --> 00:31:10,327
Very well. If I must.

452
00:31:15,415 --> 00:31:17,626
I would get your contacts to investigate
that man, mon ami.

453
00:31:17,626 --> 00:31:20,712
I'm on it, yes, regular
trips to the continent,

454
00:31:20,712 --> 00:31:22,881
he's normal, exactly what we'd look for.

455
00:31:22,881 --> 00:31:25,133
But he's helping arm the French,
he's hardly pro-German.

456
00:31:25,175 --> 00:31:28,970
Put a letter M on the note of Mademoiselle
Fiona, it could be Mabbutt.

457
00:31:29,012 --> 00:31:33,016
Mabbutt lives at number 62, Poirot, not 61.

458
00:31:33,975 --> 00:31:35,560
Oui. That is true.

459
00:31:35,602 --> 00:31:37,562
I'll check on the Bland's finances as well.

460
00:31:37,562 --> 00:31:39,814
Make sure they got that windfall
the way they say they did,

461
00:31:39,856 --> 00:31:42,067
and it's not been channelled
from some continental bank.

462
00:31:42,108 --> 00:31:45,028
Yes.

463
00:31:58,291 --> 00:32:01,670
Is that the garden of Mlle Pebmarsh?

464
00:32:01,711 --> 00:32:03,421
Are you trying to work out
who killed that man?

465
00:32:03,421 --> 00:32:07,092
Oui. Were you playing here on
the day that he died, mademoiselle?

466
00:32:07,676 --> 00:32:11,012
Our nanny grounded us for two days.
Kept hitting the cats,

467
00:32:11,054 --> 00:32:12,013
Ah!

468
00:32:12,055 --> 00:32:14,266
So she kept us in and we missed all the fun.

469
00:32:14,307 --> 00:32:17,936
Alors, you call yourself mademoiselle Jenny.

470
00:32:17,978 --> 00:32:19,688
And how do you call yourself, madamoiselle?

471
00:32:19,688 --> 00:32:21,690
May.

472
00:32:21,690 --> 00:32:22,941
And how do you call yourself?

473
00:32:22,983 --> 00:32:24,276
Hercule Poirot.

474
00:32:24,276 --> 00:32:28,071
That's not a name, it's a noise.

475
00:32:29,781 --> 00:32:35,495
Alors, mademoiselle Jenny and mademoiselle
May, will you help Poirot?

476
00:32:41,126 --> 00:32:43,545
Merci.

477
00:32:48,967 --> 00:32:52,470
I have been through this with
the police already, Monsieur Poirot.

478
00:32:52,512 --> 00:32:53,972
Oui, mademoiselle.

479
00:32:54,014 --> 00:32:58,268
And I did not make that call requesting
the services of Sheila Webb.

480
00:32:58,268 --> 00:33:01,396
Have you ever used a secretary
from the Cavendish Bureau?

481
00:33:01,396 --> 00:33:04,733
I may have lost my sight in
the last fifteen years, Monsieur,

482
00:33:04,774 --> 00:33:06,902
but I have not lost my self-sufficiency.

483
00:33:06,943 --> 00:33:09,488
Have you ever had any
dealings with the bureau?

484
00:33:09,529 --> 00:33:13,450
Well, I know where it is on the parade,
I pass it every day.

485
00:33:13,700 --> 00:33:16,328
And some of the secretaries
may have been in for portraits

486
00:33:16,328 --> 00:33:19,498
with their sweethearts, but apart from that...

487
00:33:19,498 --> 00:33:23,210
Your Monsieurs Wright
is an artist most fine.

488
00:33:23,502 --> 00:33:26,838
I believe he is, yes.

489
00:33:26,838 --> 00:33:29,841
One of the clocks found in your house
has gone missing, Miss Pebmarsh,

490
00:33:29,841 --> 00:33:34,221
a small travelling clock with the word
Rosemary engraved on the...

491
00:33:34,221 --> 00:33:36,014
If I may, Inspector.

492
00:33:36,056 --> 00:33:39,976
Mademoiselle Pedmarsh, would you
tell to me please, your glaucoma

493
00:33:41,228 --> 00:33:43,939
is it hereditary or brought on by the trauma?

494
00:33:43,939 --> 00:33:47,359
I drove an ambulance in your neck of
the woods during the war, Monsieur,

495
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:51,196
and was temporarily blinded
by the blast of a shell.

496
00:33:51,238 --> 00:33:55,826
I regained my sight only for
it to gradually deteriorate.

497
00:33:55,826 --> 00:33:59,496
- My sympathies.
- I don't seek sympathy, Monsieur.

498
00:34:01,081 --> 00:34:02,207
Non.

499
00:34:02,207 --> 00:34:05,043
Miss Martindale, is this way Gentlemen,
but do watch your step

500
00:34:05,085 --> 00:34:08,839
there's half-finished romances lying all over
the place in here, isn't there girls?

501
00:34:10,298 --> 00:34:12,634
- Tomorrow's inquest Inspector...
- Yes.

502
00:34:12,634 --> 00:34:14,636
How early would you recommend we get there?

503
00:34:14,636 --> 00:34:17,973
Only we're all terribly excited and we
wouldn't want to end up with seats

504
00:34:17,973 --> 00:34:19,558
at the back would we Miss Martindale?

505
00:34:19,558 --> 00:34:24,271
It's not a football match, Nora. An inquest
is a serious legal procedure.

506
00:34:24,855 --> 00:34:27,566
Oh I know. It's like a public hanging.

507
00:34:27,566 --> 00:34:30,735
I'm sorry, Gentlemen, please come in.

508
00:34:30,735 --> 00:34:34,322
May I introduce Hercule Poirot.

509
00:34:34,364 --> 00:34:35,240
All right.

510
00:34:35,282 --> 00:34:37,242
Enchante, madamoiselle. Merci.

511
00:34:37,242 --> 00:34:39,744
I typed up a bodice ripper last
year about a public hanging

512
00:34:39,786 --> 00:34:42,497
and it was so thrilling. You wondered
why they ever put a stop to them.

513
00:34:42,497 --> 00:34:44,666
Yes. thank you, Nora.

514
00:34:44,708 --> 00:34:48,336
Miss Martindale, would you again go
over the events of the phone

515
00:34:48,336 --> 00:34:51,339
call from someone purporting
to be Miss Pebmarsh.

516
00:34:51,381 --> 00:34:56,803
Yes. Yes, I was sitting here when
the call came through.

517
00:34:56,803 --> 00:34:59,848
I made a note in the book and then I...

518
00:34:59,848 --> 00:35:04,519
Mademoiselle? If I may ask, did you
do the typing for Garry Gregson?

519
00:35:04,519 --> 00:35:08,815
Yes. Yes I was his private secretary.

520
00:35:08,857 --> 00:35:11,693
I set up the bureau with the money
he left me after he died.

521
00:35:11,693 --> 00:35:14,779
But I am a reader most
admiring, madamoiselle.

522
00:35:14,821 --> 00:35:20,202
I still manage his estate, all of his papers
are here, published and unpublished.

523
00:35:22,162 --> 00:35:24,372
"Bachelors In Peril".

524
00:35:24,414 --> 00:35:26,374
Certainly one of his best.

525
00:35:26,416 --> 00:35:27,959
Oh, for goodness sake.

526
00:35:27,959 --> 00:35:32,464
A puzzle most intriguing,
but it did not confuse Poirot.

527
00:35:34,257 --> 00:35:35,634
"The Train At The Station"?

528
00:35:35,675 --> 00:35:39,471
Ah, oui, the hair of the moustache
on the cocktail glass,

529
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:45,268
the three pairs of shoes size six, all
designed to throw one off the scent,

530
00:35:45,268 --> 00:35:47,896
but not Hercule Poirot!

531
00:35:47,896 --> 00:35:51,900
Is there any chance we can get back
to the real police work here?

532
00:35:55,946 --> 00:35:59,157
- How's your afternoon?
- Miserable.

533
00:35:59,157 --> 00:36:02,828
Miss Martindale is as suspicious
of me as the policeman.

534
00:36:02,869 --> 00:36:06,540
Has your funny little friend
found out who did it yet?

535
00:36:06,540 --> 00:36:09,668
But if you ask me, Pebmarsh could easily be
lying about not making that phone call.

536
00:36:09,668 --> 00:36:10,961
That's what I've been thinking.

537
00:36:10,961 --> 00:36:13,421
The body was found in her house,
she could easily have pinched that clock,

538
00:36:13,463 --> 00:36:17,092
whoever stole it must be
connected because it's...

539
00:36:23,139 --> 00:36:25,892
What are you doing this evening?

540
00:36:26,601 --> 00:36:28,103
Avoiding people.

541
00:36:28,144 --> 00:36:31,565
Yep. Me too.

542
00:36:31,606 --> 00:36:33,859
I've got to go back to the castle
but after would you,

543
00:36:33,859 --> 00:36:37,654
do you want to avoid meeting people together?

544
00:36:39,072 --> 00:36:43,034
- Yes.
- Good.

545
00:36:43,910 --> 00:36:47,956
"How did you become blind",
"where did you fall in love",

546
00:36:47,956 --> 00:36:50,208
"what's your favourite Garry Gregson novel",

547
00:36:50,250 --> 00:36:53,128
what on earth have these got
to do with the investigation?

548
00:36:53,170 --> 00:36:55,547
- Probably nothing.
- So why ask them?

549
00:36:55,547 --> 00:36:58,133
- To gather information.
- What information?

550
00:36:58,133 --> 00:37:02,846
Police work is facts, alibis,
evidence, not gossip!

551
00:37:02,888 --> 00:37:06,892
How did any case get solved in Belgium
while you were in charge?

552
00:37:06,892 --> 00:37:08,977
Through the listening, through observation.

553
00:37:09,019 --> 00:37:12,981
And every case it was solved,
I can assure you. Mademoiselle.

554
00:37:13,607 --> 00:37:17,194
It's been a long day, I'm sorry.
Can I give you a lift to your hotel?

555
00:37:17,235 --> 00:37:21,323
Ah oui, merci, but is there a hotel that
you would recommend, Inspector?

556
00:37:21,323 --> 00:37:23,825
Because I have not had the
time to make a reservation.

557
00:37:23,867 --> 00:37:28,246
And also I must telephone to George,
mon valet, for my valise.

558
00:37:29,164 --> 00:37:33,084
Yes I know a good one. The Travellers.
I'll stand you a drink.

559
00:37:34,002 --> 00:37:36,338
- You coming?
- Can you drop me at the castle?

560
00:37:36,379 --> 00:37:40,383
Of course. You're in for a treat, Mr Poirot.

561
00:37:46,890 --> 00:37:51,353
We'll get a missing person's campaign out
on "Curry", pictures in the paper,

562
00:37:52,187 --> 00:37:54,731
bobbies at the train station,
the whole works,

563
00:37:54,773 --> 00:37:58,360
"Someone Will Have Seen Something"

564
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:02,030
Inspector, this bar, does it have
a menu for the cocktails?

565
00:38:02,072 --> 00:38:05,408
That's the finest brew
on the south coast mate -

566
00:38:05,450 --> 00:38:08,537
the key now is to find the identity
of the murdered man.

567
00:38:08,578 --> 00:38:11,456
Is this the best hotel in Dover?

568
00:38:11,498 --> 00:38:15,544
Yeah, let's line a few more
of these up, shall we? Terry?

569
00:38:19,589 --> 00:38:21,383
What are you laughing about?

570
00:38:21,424 --> 00:38:25,262
Poirot. I left him at the Travellers
Inn looking like petit fours in a chip shop.

571
00:38:25,262 --> 00:38:27,556
He's trying to keep it in,
but he's having forty fits

572
00:38:27,556 --> 00:38:30,892
about the thought of having to stay there.

573
00:38:31,935 --> 00:38:34,980
It's nice to see you laugh.

574
00:38:38,483 --> 00:38:42,320
Will you tell me about
the girl who died. Fiona?

575
00:38:43,697 --> 00:38:46,575
Fiona.

576
00:38:47,951 --> 00:38:51,037
And then will you tell me about you?

577
00:38:59,588 --> 00:39:02,299
Sir.

578
00:39:03,008 --> 00:39:07,387
Hello, is that the Castle Hotel? Bon.

579
00:39:07,429 --> 00:39:11,057
I wonder do you have available
for a few days a suite?

580
00:39:11,391 --> 00:39:13,351
Oui. Hercule Poirot.

581
00:39:13,351 --> 00:39:16,730
Non, non, non, Hercule.

582
00:39:16,771 --> 00:39:22,319
Oui. Poir... that will do. Merci.

583
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:27,282
I'm telling you Mr Poirot, Sheila Webb
made that call to Martindale.

584
00:39:27,282 --> 00:39:29,075
But there is no reason why she would.

585
00:39:29,117 --> 00:39:31,536
There is no evidence, there is that,

586
00:39:31,536 --> 00:39:36,082
but in my gut I think once we have
the evidence it will point to her.

587
00:39:36,082 --> 00:39:38,376
But do you not think, as does
the Admiral Hamling,

588
00:39:38,376 --> 00:39:42,297
that the murder is connected in some
way to the theft of documents?

589
00:39:43,089 --> 00:39:47,636
Ah oui. Merci. A bientot. Merci Monsieur.

590
00:39:47,677 --> 00:39:52,849
No I don't, that's Navy talk, they think
everything's related to the "coming war".

591
00:39:53,642 --> 00:39:55,143
There'll be no war.

592
00:39:55,185 --> 00:39:58,146
But I think the man will have
a link to Sheila Webb.

593
00:39:58,188 --> 00:40:01,149
She arranged to meet him
there and killed him.

594
00:40:01,191 --> 00:40:03,401
But with what motive, Inspector?

595
00:40:03,401 --> 00:40:07,405
The clocks and the four-thirteen and
the Rosemary will all come back to her.

596
00:40:07,948 --> 00:40:10,909
I've seen girls like that before
and they're manipulative

597
00:40:10,951 --> 00:40:15,372
and let us see how she does under
pressure at the Inquest tomorrow.

598
00:40:19,626 --> 00:40:23,255
I'm adopted. I have no-one.

599
00:40:24,798 --> 00:40:28,593
I was adopted by an elderly couple
who had no children of their own,

600
00:40:30,303 --> 00:40:33,056
and, well, they're dead now.

601
00:40:35,058 --> 00:40:38,728
It's at times like this I long to have
a family to go home to.

602
00:40:41,314 --> 00:40:44,276
Do you have a sweetheart?

603
00:40:44,317 --> 00:40:46,862
No.

604
00:40:46,862 --> 00:40:50,532
- "damaged goods".
- I don't think so.

605
00:40:57,998 --> 00:41:01,877
You talk of Fiona in a way I don't
think anyone has ever talked of me.

606
00:41:13,763 --> 00:41:16,391
That's nice.

607
00:41:16,808 --> 00:41:20,020
This is nice, Colin.

608
00:41:32,908 --> 00:41:33,825
Ah.

609
00:41:33,867 --> 00:41:35,243
What is it?

610
00:41:35,243 --> 00:41:38,079
They've put cat muck on the mat again.

611
00:41:38,079 --> 00:41:42,459
They're pigs these people. They're pigs.

612
00:41:42,459 --> 00:41:46,171
I'll get a dustpan and brush.

613
00:41:47,130 --> 00:41:52,511
How do I look, is this too red, I don't want
to appear a dubious character.

614
00:41:52,511 --> 00:41:55,597
The Inquest will be full of plain-clothed
detectives eyeing the faces

615
00:41:55,597 --> 00:41:58,099
of the crowd surreptitiously
looking for give-away-signs,

616
00:41:58,141 --> 00:42:00,769
at least that's what happened
in Garry Gregson's "Dusty Death",

617
00:42:00,769 --> 00:42:03,855
- Do you remember that Miss Martindale?
- Thank you, Nora. Yes I do.

618
00:42:03,897 --> 00:42:06,775
That's how they caught the murderer.
Gave himself away with a nervous twitch.

619
00:42:06,775 --> 00:42:10,362
Will you elbow me if I start twitching
involuntarily, Miss Martindale,

620
00:42:10,403 --> 00:42:14,241
I'm worried about twitching involuntarily,
it used to be a habit of my mother's.

621
00:42:18,870 --> 00:42:22,123
Have you polished my new brogues, Valerie?

622
00:42:22,123 --> 00:42:25,752
HAVE YOU POLISHED MY BROGUES!!

623
00:42:26,002 --> 00:42:30,131
Sorry. I do not want to miss
a word of this inquest.

624
00:42:31,258 --> 00:42:33,969
- By the back door.
- Thank you.

625
00:42:34,010 --> 00:42:35,303
I don't want to go, Joe.

626
00:42:35,345 --> 00:42:37,556
Get your coat on.

627
00:42:37,556 --> 00:42:41,017
Get it on.

628
00:42:44,980 --> 00:42:47,649
Come on, girls!

629
00:42:49,568 --> 00:42:53,155
Best seats in the house.

630
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:06,418
- Sheila. It'll be all right.
- Don't, don't.

631
00:43:06,459 --> 00:43:10,213
What's wrong? It'll be fine.
They're very dry - inquests.

632
00:43:11,089 --> 00:43:14,176
You just rattle the facts out.

633
00:43:16,261 --> 00:43:19,431
This arrived for me this morning.

634
00:43:26,104 --> 00:43:28,523
I received the call from a Miss Pebmarsh

635
00:43:28,565 --> 00:43:31,359
at about a quarter to two
during the lunch hour.

636
00:43:31,359 --> 00:43:33,778
She was most particular in requesting

637
00:43:33,820 --> 00:43:36,031
the services of my employee, Miss Sheila Webb.

638
00:43:36,072 --> 00:43:38,533
I made a note in the book
and then I checked Miss Webb's

639
00:43:38,533 --> 00:43:40,535
other appointments for that afternoon.

640
00:43:40,577 --> 00:43:43,497
Well, I wasn't the one who made
the call to the Cavendish Bureau

641
00:43:43,497 --> 00:43:47,542
I assure you, I merely arrived home
from work just after three o'clock

642
00:43:47,584 --> 00:43:51,588
and found a young lady in my front room
suffering from a fit of hysterics.

643
00:43:52,422 --> 00:43:57,052
She ran out of the house and then
I discovered the body behind the sofa.

644
00:43:57,052 --> 00:44:00,472
I spent my lunch break alone

645
00:44:00,514 --> 00:44:02,641
in the little cafe on the
corner of the parade,

646
00:44:02,641 --> 00:44:05,143
and I must have got back
at about quarter past two

647
00:44:05,143 --> 00:44:09,064
then left immediately for Wilbraham Crescent.

648
00:44:10,774 --> 00:44:13,652
I entered the house, as instructed,

649
00:44:13,652 --> 00:44:17,614
and noticed all the clocks in the sitting
room were, well they were wrong.

650
00:44:19,241 --> 00:44:23,036
This threw me a little and I checked
my own wristwatch and then

651
00:44:23,078 --> 00:44:27,290
I saw the legs of a dead man I didn't
recognise sticking out from behind the sofa.

652
00:44:27,290 --> 00:44:30,252
If it pleases the court I would
like to read a statement

653
00:44:30,252 --> 00:44:34,047
from the report of the police surgeon
which has been handed to me.

654
00:44:35,757 --> 00:44:39,886
"After a thorough examination of the
contents of the deceased stomach

655
00:44:39,886 --> 00:44:43,890
I conclude that he had not
had lunch, but had had a drink.

656
00:44:43,932 --> 00:44:47,894
And that the drink had been spiked
with chloral hydrate"

657
00:44:48,979 --> 00:44:52,190
a process known as
a "Mickey Finn", your honour.

658
00:44:52,232 --> 00:44:55,902
He'd been drugged before he'd been stabbed.

659
00:45:00,574 --> 00:45:03,118
Would you like to come and
have a cup of tea, dear?

660
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:04,202
No, thank you.

661
00:45:04,244 --> 00:45:07,205
It must have been a terrible shock.

662
00:45:07,247 --> 00:45:11,459
Well, if you'd like a cup of tea, my name's
Val and we're at number 61.

663
00:45:13,003 --> 00:45:15,922
Thank you.

664
00:45:25,348 --> 00:45:29,352
How long before he was stabbed was our
"M. Curry" drugged with the chloral hydrate?

665
00:45:30,187 --> 00:45:33,482
The surgeon says the effect of
the drug can last up to four hours.

666
00:45:33,482 --> 00:45:37,152
So he was almost certainly
drugged at another location

667
00:45:37,235 --> 00:45:40,238
and then taken to number
19 Wilbraham Crescent.

668
00:45:40,238 --> 00:45:41,990
Let's talk about this back
at the station Poirot.

669
00:45:41,990 --> 00:45:43,325
Inspector Mr Hardcastle?

670
00:45:43,366 --> 00:45:47,871
It was exactly as was said by Madame
Hemmings. "He just came here to be killed"

671
00:45:47,871 --> 00:45:49,498
- Inspector?
- What is it Miss?

672
00:45:49,498 --> 00:45:50,665
I'd just like to speak to him.

673
00:45:50,707 --> 00:45:52,918
He's going back to the station now,
if you want to contact him there.

674
00:45:52,959 --> 00:45:54,836
- But I don't see how what she said...
- Yes, thank you madam.

675
00:45:54,878 --> 00:45:58,173
What she said couldn't possibly be true.

676
00:46:00,008 --> 00:46:03,261
If "Curry" was killed in a different location,
that puts Pebmarsh back in the frame.

677
00:46:03,303 --> 00:46:04,429
Not at all.

678
00:46:04,429 --> 00:46:07,349
Even a blind woman can stab
a drugged man in the heart.

679
00:46:07,349 --> 00:46:10,018
The time of his death is estimated
at between two and three o'clock.

680
00:46:10,018 --> 00:46:12,187
And I have literally millions of witnesses

681
00:46:12,187 --> 00:46:15,816
who saw her in the photographic
studio during that time.

682
00:46:16,691 --> 00:46:19,861
I exaggerate through excitement obviously,

683
00:46:19,861 --> 00:46:23,490
but Sheila Webb arrives there -
what do you think to this Poirot?

684
00:46:24,658 --> 00:46:27,452
Through a booking she's made
herself by ringing Martindale,

685
00:46:27,494 --> 00:46:30,038
stabs the fellow, raises the alarm.

686
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:33,708
You didn't see how scared she was when
she came out of that house, Hardcastle.

687
00:46:33,708 --> 00:46:34,835
Didn't I?

688
00:46:34,835 --> 00:46:38,463
How she has been set up every
step of the way. Look at this.

689
00:46:42,342 --> 00:46:43,718
Remember. 4.13.

690
00:46:43,718 --> 00:46:44,719
Hello, Jenkins.

691
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:46,304
Someone is definitely putting
the frights on her...

692
00:46:46,304 --> 00:46:47,138
Inspector.

693
00:46:47,180 --> 00:46:49,474
The only thing missing is that
it's not written in blood.

694
00:46:49,516 --> 00:46:51,977
Inspector there's a Nora Brent on
the phone would like to speak

695
00:46:51,977 --> 00:46:53,395
to you regarding the Inquest,

696
00:46:53,395 --> 00:46:56,898
and um... and we have someone who has
an identification of the dead man.

697
00:46:56,898 --> 00:46:59,234
Tell her to ring back later.

698
00:46:59,234 --> 00:47:02,237
Ah Mr Bland, please come in.

699
00:47:02,237 --> 00:47:03,822
I'm afraid the Inspector is busy
at the moment madam.

700
00:47:03,864 --> 00:47:07,993
I need to speak to him because what
she said couldn't possibly be true.

701
00:47:09,077 --> 00:47:11,079
She was lying at the inquest, you see.

702
00:47:11,121 --> 00:47:14,249
I'm sorry madam... but it's just
not possible at the moment.

703
00:47:14,291 --> 00:47:15,667
I'm going to come round!

704
00:47:15,667 --> 00:47:18,670
I've seen this man before.

705
00:47:18,670 --> 00:47:21,089
I didn't know it, but then I saw
the girl at the inquest.

706
00:47:21,089 --> 00:47:22,757
Which girl was this?

707
00:47:22,799 --> 00:47:25,260
The girl Sheila Webb.

708
00:47:25,302 --> 00:47:29,264
I'd definitely seen her before,
it was like having a sixth sense of dejavu

709
00:47:29,264 --> 00:47:32,267
which is a feeling I've not
previously experienced.

710
00:47:32,309 --> 00:47:34,853
And where had you seen before the Mlle Webb?

711
00:47:34,895 --> 00:47:38,565
Well Mrs Bland and I were at the
Fine Art Fair at the Castle Hotel.

712
00:47:38,565 --> 00:47:41,026
Now that our pockets are
a little deeper, Hardcastle,

713
00:47:41,067 --> 00:47:43,278
we get invited to things like that,

714
00:47:43,278 --> 00:47:46,364
and Sheila Webb was walking through the foyer

715
00:47:46,364 --> 00:47:50,952
having come from upstairs.
With a man. This man.

716
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,706
- When was this?
- The day before the murder.

717
00:47:54,748 --> 00:47:55,790
Are you sure?

718
00:47:55,790 --> 00:47:57,709
Of course he's sure Lieutenant Race,

719
00:47:57,709 --> 00:48:01,296
it's not everyone whose judgement has
melted in the face of a pretty girl.

720
00:48:01,296 --> 00:48:03,632
What are you suggesting?

721
00:48:03,632 --> 00:48:07,260
Thank you for coming in Mr, Bland.

722
00:48:12,599 --> 00:48:15,143
I am questioning your ability
to think professionally

723
00:48:15,143 --> 00:48:18,939
about a young woman you were seen kissing
moments before the coroner's inquest.

724
00:48:22,692 --> 00:48:25,445
Shall we go and talk to her?

725
00:48:27,447 --> 00:48:31,284
Jenkins, we need to get down to the
parade and find Miss Sheila Webb.

726
00:48:35,956 --> 00:48:37,499
You think she did it, don't you?

727
00:48:37,541 --> 00:48:40,669
At this point in time, Poirot
he rules out nothing.

728
00:48:40,669 --> 00:48:44,548
Oh, doesn't he? Well I know
she isn't involved,

729
00:48:45,715 --> 00:48:48,176
I know she's a good person
who needs our help.

730
00:48:48,176 --> 00:48:53,223
The world is full of good people
who do bad things, mon ami.

731
00:49:03,859 --> 00:49:05,443
So where are you going to go?

732
00:49:05,485 --> 00:49:09,197
I don't have anywhere to go! I don't know
what I'm going to do! Don't touch me!

733
00:49:12,033 --> 00:49:15,203
Sheila. Come back inside.

734
00:49:15,245 --> 00:49:17,539
I don't want you to follow me,
because this all stops now.

735
00:49:17,539 --> 00:49:20,458
- Come back inside.
- Do you understand?

736
00:49:20,500 --> 00:49:24,129
Come back inside Sheila.
Come on. Calm down.

737
00:49:37,684 --> 00:49:40,145
...They said, she is in the telephone booth!

738
00:49:40,145 --> 00:49:41,396
AAAAARRRRGGHHH!!!

739
00:49:41,396 --> 00:49:44,357
Who is it, Jenkins?

740
00:49:44,900 --> 00:49:47,652
It's Nora Brent, sir. She was trying
to talk to you earlier.

741
00:49:47,694 --> 00:49:51,072
Will someone please get them
to stop hurting my girls!

742
00:49:51,072 --> 00:49:54,075
Will you get it to stop!

743
00:49:54,117 --> 00:49:57,454
Oh, Nora...

744
00:49:58,997 --> 00:50:02,250
Using her exact words, what did Nora
Brent say to you, Constable?

745
00:50:02,250 --> 00:50:05,504
She said she couldn't see how what
she said could be true.

746
00:50:05,504 --> 00:50:06,922
That she was lying at the inquest.

747
00:50:06,963 --> 00:50:09,090
And this is Sheila Webb she's talking about?

748
00:50:09,090 --> 00:50:11,092
- I believe so.
- But she didn't mention her name?

749
00:50:11,092 --> 00:50:14,429
Constable Jenkins, are you absolutely
certain that those were her exact words?

750
00:50:14,429 --> 00:50:17,933
- It is very important.
- I'm sure yes, I think so.

751
00:50:17,974 --> 00:50:21,895
And it was busy. Everyone
was on their way out.

752
00:50:22,437 --> 00:50:25,857
Miss Martindale, Sheila Webb
was seen with the dead man

753
00:50:25,899 --> 00:50:28,193
at the Castle Hotel a day before the murder.

754
00:50:28,235 --> 00:50:29,611
The Castle Hotel?

755
00:50:29,653 --> 00:50:33,323
That would be during working hours,
did she have an appointment there?

756
00:50:34,783 --> 00:50:37,536
She often has an appointment there.

757
00:50:37,536 --> 00:50:42,958
She had a regular client who
resides at the Castle Hotel.

758
00:50:43,667 --> 00:50:47,462
And I use the word "client"
with all its meaning, sir.

759
00:50:47,879 --> 00:50:52,926
Sheila Webb has a habit of inappropriate
familiarity with some of our male clients.

760
00:50:52,926 --> 00:50:56,638
A Professor Purdy especially,
who resides at The Castle hotel

761
00:50:56,638 --> 00:51:00,392
and requests her services
at least once a week.

762
00:51:02,269 --> 00:51:04,646
He's bought her gifts I believe,

763
00:51:04,688 --> 00:51:07,149
perhaps you've noticed
the silver wristwatch,

764
00:51:07,149 --> 00:51:09,401
which a girl like Sheila
couldn't possibly afford.

765
00:51:09,401 --> 00:51:11,236
Oui, mademoiselle.

766
00:51:11,236 --> 00:51:13,822
It would not be at all surprised
to hear that she had been seen

767
00:51:13,822 --> 00:51:16,908
with other gentlemen at the Castle Hotel.

768
00:51:16,950 --> 00:51:18,827
That is a disgraceful insinuation.

769
00:51:18,869 --> 00:51:22,080
Is it Lieutenant? Surely, you've been
aware of the effect

770
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:24,082
Sheila Webb has on a certain type of man.

771
00:51:24,082 --> 00:51:26,668
Tell to me if you please,
has mademoiselle Sheila Webb

772
00:51:26,668 --> 00:51:29,838
or mademoiselle Nora Brent ever worked
on the estate of Garry Gregson?

773
00:51:29,838 --> 00:51:33,425
Not again! Who cares about
Garry ruddy Gregson,

774
00:51:33,425 --> 00:51:37,387
can't you see the case that
is building in front of you here?!

775
00:51:38,263 --> 00:51:41,683
No Monsieur, I deal with all matters Gregson.

776
00:51:41,683 --> 00:51:44,019
Merci, madamoiselle.

777
00:51:44,019 --> 00:51:44,936
Come on.

778
00:51:44,978 --> 00:51:46,271
Where is it that you go, Inspector?

779
00:51:46,271 --> 00:51:49,524
To show the dead man's photograph
to the Castle staff, of course.

780
00:51:49,566 --> 00:51:50,942
- Are you coming?
- Non.

781
00:51:50,942 --> 00:51:52,527
- No.
- Non.

782
00:51:52,527 --> 00:51:56,198
I don't even begin to understand you, Poirot.

783
00:51:59,117 --> 00:52:02,287
- Evening sir.
- Evening.

784
00:52:05,081 --> 00:52:06,541
What news have you got for me, Race?

785
00:52:06,541 --> 00:52:10,045
Well I ran checks on the residents
and neighbours of 61

786
00:52:10,045 --> 00:52:13,048
Wilbraham Crescent as well as I can,
and there seems to be...

787
00:52:13,089 --> 00:52:14,883
And what did you find?

788
00:52:14,883 --> 00:52:18,720
Not much, if the truth be told.
The Blands have come into money,

789
00:52:19,054 --> 00:52:21,473
but as you can see from these
bank transactions

790
00:52:21,473 --> 00:52:25,352
it's genuinely an inheritance from Canada.

791
00:52:27,979 --> 00:52:30,315
Christopher Mabbutt next door is
of interest to us because

792
00:52:30,315 --> 00:52:32,901
he travels extensively on the continent...

793
00:52:32,901 --> 00:52:36,321
Yes, Mabbutt works for Armstrong
Ordnance, doesn't he,

794
00:52:36,321 --> 00:52:38,490
who supply the French army with weapons.

795
00:52:38,490 --> 00:52:42,285
- He does.
- So not your usual German spy.

796
00:52:42,786 --> 00:52:43,745
No.

797
00:52:43,787 --> 00:52:45,747
- Anything else?
- Not as yet.

798
00:52:45,747 --> 00:52:49,167
Does this second murder on the Parade have
anything to do with Wilbraham Crescent?

799
00:52:49,209 --> 00:52:52,170
- Yes.
- In what way?

800
00:52:52,170 --> 00:52:53,672
I, I don't know.

801
00:52:53,672 --> 00:52:56,091
You don't know much, do you Lieutenant?

802
00:52:56,091 --> 00:52:58,343
- Does Poirot?
- Not yet.

803
00:52:58,385 --> 00:53:03,139
Maybe this business in Wilbraham Crescent
has nothing to do with the leak

804
00:53:03,139 --> 00:53:06,017
and Fiona Hanbury's death.

805
00:53:06,059 --> 00:53:07,686
Maybe you're wrong, Lieutenant.

806
00:53:07,727 --> 00:53:09,938
I don't think so sir.

807
00:53:09,980 --> 00:53:11,857
Well, you have one more day,

808
00:53:11,898 --> 00:53:15,694
and then I will bring in other agents,
do you understand?

809
00:53:33,670 --> 00:53:36,548
Is that mine?

810
00:53:37,841 --> 00:53:40,468
Yes.

811
00:53:40,510 --> 00:53:43,388
Where did you find it?

812
00:53:44,890 --> 00:53:46,224
I'm sorry I wasn't there for you.

813
00:53:46,266 --> 00:53:48,476
What do you mean?

814
00:53:48,518 --> 00:53:49,895
On the night you died.

815
00:53:49,936 --> 00:53:52,564
Let me get my hat and my coat.

816
00:53:52,564 --> 00:53:54,065
Let's go down the Bluebell,

817
00:53:54,065 --> 00:53:56,902
and then let's go to my house. All right?

818
00:53:56,943 --> 00:54:00,405
- All right.
- Stay here.

819
00:54:30,602 --> 00:54:31,603
Do you recognise him?

820
00:54:31,603 --> 00:54:34,022
Has he been in the Hotel
any time in the past week?

821
00:54:34,022 --> 00:54:36,983
I don't think so.

822
00:54:37,025 --> 00:54:40,904
Possibly accompanied by a young lady,
a miss Sheila Webb.

823
00:54:42,197 --> 00:54:45,784
I cannot believe that poor girl was
murdered in broad daylight,

824
00:54:45,784 --> 00:54:50,997
where anyone could have seen.
It sounds a most desperate crime.

825
00:54:50,997 --> 00:54:54,751
Oui. Most desperate indeed.

826
00:54:56,336 --> 00:55:00,006
Tell to me if you please, after the inquest

827
00:55:00,298 --> 00:55:02,467
did mademoiselle Nora Brent
say anything to you?

828
00:55:02,509 --> 00:55:04,469
No, why would she?

829
00:55:04,511 --> 00:55:06,555
So you did not know her at all?

830
00:55:06,555 --> 00:55:10,892
She had not made perhaps a visit to
the studio here with a sweetheart?

831
00:55:12,018 --> 00:55:14,729
I don't recognise the name but it's possible.

832
00:55:14,729 --> 00:55:17,899
Appointments are usually
made in the man's name.

833
00:55:17,941 --> 00:55:21,486
You're welcome to look, Mr Wright keeps
copies of every photograph

834
00:55:21,528 --> 00:55:25,157
he's ever taken and he's been
here over thirty years.

835
00:55:25,407 --> 00:55:28,410
Merci, mademoiselle. But I do not
think that will be necessary.

836
00:55:28,410 --> 00:55:30,996
Does Monsieur Wright develop his own portraits?

837
00:55:30,996 --> 00:55:32,581
Oh yes, he does everything here.

838
00:55:32,581 --> 00:55:35,750
If he sends out to a lab the results
are never as professional.

839
00:55:35,750 --> 00:55:38,086
Oui d'accord.

840
00:55:38,128 --> 00:55:42,174
Ah, Pedmarsh, so you have
had taken your own portrait?

841
00:55:44,759 --> 00:55:47,554
No monsieur,

842
00:55:48,263 --> 00:55:50,765
these are my sons.

843
00:55:50,765 --> 00:55:53,935
They passed through here during the war
and sent a portrait back to me.

844
00:55:53,977 --> 00:55:59,107
- They are most handsome.
- Yes, they were. They were.

845
00:56:01,193 --> 00:56:06,323
I volunteered for service after I lost them
and then after the war came here.

846
00:56:07,240 --> 00:56:11,244
And it pains me to think, monsieur,
that if this peace does not hold

847
00:56:11,244 --> 00:56:14,915
there will soon be another generation
of boys in these files,

848
00:56:16,041 --> 00:56:20,587
who send photos back to their
parents but never get home.

849
00:56:32,891 --> 00:56:35,560
Hello.

850
00:56:42,108 --> 00:56:43,151
Where have you been?

851
00:56:43,193 --> 00:56:46,822
Can I be with you tonight?

852
00:56:57,916 --> 00:57:00,669
Ah, Poirot, just in time to help.

853
00:57:00,669 --> 00:57:04,548
We've had over two hundred responses to the
picture of the dead man in the paper.

854
00:57:04,548 --> 00:57:07,259
We're trying to cross-reference them
to see if the same name keeps

855
00:57:07,259 --> 00:57:09,594
coming up, or the photograph fits.

856
00:57:09,636 --> 00:57:12,013
Could they not identify
him at the Castle Hotel?

857
00:57:12,055 --> 00:57:15,934
No, nothing. They knew Sheila Webb
and Professor Purdy,

858
00:57:16,768 --> 00:57:19,521
but I think the Blands must have
seen them and got mistaken,

859
00:57:19,563 --> 00:57:22,941
too eager to help. Do you agree?

860
00:57:22,983 --> 00:57:25,443
No...

861
00:57:25,443 --> 00:57:29,865
I don't think it's important
who he is, but who he is.

862
00:57:31,366 --> 00:57:34,202
Right, well, I'm not going to rise to that one.

863
00:57:34,244 --> 00:57:37,622
- Bonsoir.
- Oh the clocks Poirot,

864
00:57:37,622 --> 00:57:41,042
all bought from the same stall in Deal
market within the last month,

865
00:57:41,084 --> 00:57:44,838
no ID on the buyer though,
all bought there except the...

866
00:57:44,838 --> 00:57:49,217
- The Rosemary clock.
- Yes. The Rosemary.

867
00:57:49,217 --> 00:57:52,137
Just as I thought.

868
00:57:52,137 --> 00:57:55,140
Thank you, Inspector.

869
00:57:58,477 --> 00:58:02,105
It's not important who he is, but who he is.

870
00:58:03,106 --> 00:58:06,151
Not important who he is, but who he is.

871
00:58:06,151 --> 00:58:09,279
Anyone understand that?

872
00:58:40,060 --> 00:58:43,313
Most extraordinary.

873
00:59:00,372 --> 00:59:05,335
Forgive me, but unless I am mistaken,
you must be Professor Purdy?

874
00:59:19,224 --> 00:59:22,644
Where did you go after the Inquest?

875
00:59:26,523 --> 00:59:29,568
I want the truth.

876
00:59:32,654 --> 00:59:35,365
For a walk on the front.

877
00:59:36,783 --> 00:59:39,995
It could easily have been me who
made the call to Miss Pebmarsh.

878
00:59:39,995 --> 00:59:42,914
Easily me who killed that man,
I could've done it all.

879
00:59:42,914 --> 00:59:46,585
And there's no proof that it wasn't.

880
00:59:46,585 --> 00:59:50,088
I just needed time to think what to do.

881
00:59:50,297 --> 00:59:54,342
But when I made my way back
to work I saw Nora was dead.

882
00:59:55,719 --> 00:59:58,763
I knew I'd be blamed for that as well.

883
00:59:58,805 --> 01:00:02,642
I left Dover this afternoon,
and wasn't going to come back,

884
01:00:03,018 --> 01:00:04,436
which would have been bad.

885
01:00:04,436 --> 01:00:07,105
Yes, it would.

886
01:00:07,147 --> 01:00:09,357
You need to see the Police
and clear your name.

887
01:00:09,399 --> 01:00:15,071
Yes I know. You believe I'm innocent
don't you, you believe it wasn't me.

888
01:00:21,703 --> 01:00:23,788
I'm going to get us both a drink.

889
01:00:23,788 --> 01:00:26,875
There's glasses in the kitchenette.

890
01:00:47,813 --> 01:00:50,565
These small ones?

891
01:00:51,483 --> 01:00:54,319
Yes.

892
01:00:58,657 --> 01:01:00,742
When did you get this?

893
01:01:00,742 --> 01:01:03,745
- I...
- When did you get it?

894
01:01:04,329 --> 01:01:05,163
Colin, I...

895
01:01:05,163 --> 01:01:08,416
I'm taking you with me
to the police station now.

896
01:01:08,458 --> 01:01:11,795
Now.

897
01:01:12,295 --> 01:01:15,340
Where did you get the murder weapon?

898
01:01:17,384 --> 01:01:21,096
All right. Where did you get the clock?

899
01:01:23,139 --> 01:01:25,433
Unless I'm mistaken, Inspector,

900
01:01:25,475 --> 01:01:29,229
Mademoiselle Webb received
the clock when she was a child

901
01:01:29,980 --> 01:01:33,650
for her birthday.
Or was it Christmas perhaps?

902
01:01:34,985 --> 01:01:37,362
When I was born.

903
01:01:37,362 --> 01:01:41,199
The home told me it was a gift from
my mother, who I never knew.

904
01:01:41,867 --> 01:01:43,034
What are you talking about?

905
01:01:43,034 --> 01:01:45,871
Rosemary is the first name of Mlle Webb,

906
01:01:45,912 --> 01:01:48,540
is that not so?

907
01:01:48,582 --> 01:01:51,960
- Mlle RS Webb.
- Yes.

908
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:57,632
Rosemary Sheila - and yet you choose
to use your second name, non?

909
01:01:59,759 --> 01:02:03,221
- May I continue?
- Oui. Bien sure.

910
01:02:03,263 --> 01:02:06,057
Pardon.

911
01:02:06,475 --> 01:02:10,103
If the clock was yours, what was
it doing at Miss Pebmarsh's house?

912
01:02:11,396 --> 01:02:15,108
She does not know, Inspector,
which is why she stole it.

913
01:02:24,576 --> 01:02:27,996
The spring it is broken, n'est pas?
So it is possible that a few weeks

914
01:02:28,038 --> 01:02:31,500
previously you took it to the
jewellers to have it repaired?

915
01:02:31,500 --> 01:02:35,003
And then, oui, you lost it.

916
01:02:35,003 --> 01:02:39,216
And the next time you see it, it is
at number 19 Wilbraham Crescent.

917
01:02:40,634 --> 01:02:44,387
And there is there a dead man.
The police they are everywhere.

918
01:02:45,555 --> 01:02:49,726
And so you think to yourself why is
someone trying to frame me for murder?

919
01:02:49,726 --> 01:02:53,522
And then you notice that all
the clocks they spell 4.13,

920
01:02:53,563 --> 01:02:57,484
the number of the very room in
the hotel where in your loneliness

921
01:02:57,526 --> 01:03:01,404
you have begun a love affair with
a man who does not care for you.

922
01:03:03,490 --> 01:03:08,245
And so you think to yourself why is
someone trying to expose my shame?

923
01:03:09,496 --> 01:03:12,457
You do not know.

924
01:03:12,749 --> 01:03:16,294
And the knife? I suspect that you
have never seen this before,

925
01:03:16,336 --> 01:03:19,130
or else almost certainly
you would have got rid of it.

926
01:03:19,130 --> 01:03:20,966
Inspector, may I ask a question?

927
01:03:20,966 --> 01:03:24,636
Of course, will you be answering it as well?

928
01:03:24,636 --> 01:03:28,223
Mademoiselle, when you returned
from lunch on the day of the murder,

929
01:03:28,265 --> 01:03:30,725
mademoiselle Nora Brent, what was she doing?

930
01:03:30,725 --> 01:03:34,563
- Talking. Nora was always talking.
- About what?

931
01:03:34,688 --> 01:03:38,316
I strut off to lunch and the heel snaps
off in a grate like a twig in a storm.

932
01:03:38,316 --> 01:03:41,945
So now we make the progress.

933
01:03:42,070 --> 01:03:46,408
And in which grate was it did mademoiselle
Nora Brent break her shoe?

934
01:03:46,408 --> 01:03:50,745
Yes, which was it, let's bring the
grate in for questioning, shall we?

935
01:03:50,745 --> 01:03:53,165
Inspector. As you told to me only yesterday,

936
01:03:53,206 --> 01:03:55,917
can not you see the case that
is building in front of you?

937
01:03:55,959 --> 01:03:58,670
Not the case about the grate, no!

938
01:03:58,670 --> 01:04:01,256
I don't know which grate it was sir.

939
01:04:01,256 --> 01:04:04,426
She's here, Inspector.

940
01:04:05,093 --> 01:04:06,011
Who's here?

941
01:04:06,052 --> 01:04:09,848
One name came up five times
in response to the newspapers.

942
01:04:10,849 --> 01:04:15,103
Then the dead man's widow rings up and says
she wants to come in to identify the body.

943
01:04:16,897 --> 01:04:20,692
His name's Harry Castleton?

944
01:04:26,031 --> 01:04:29,910
Put this one back in her cell, Constable,
this is far from over.

945
01:04:44,633 --> 01:04:47,385
That's him. That's Harry.

946
01:04:47,385 --> 01:04:50,805
When's the last time you saw
your husband, Mrs Castleton?

947
01:04:50,847 --> 01:04:54,643
Fifteen years ago. And he wasn't
much of a husband.

948
01:04:55,101 --> 01:04:58,396
I don't even know if Castleton
was his real name.

949
01:04:58,396 --> 01:05:02,442
He said he was in Insurance. But that was
just a ruse so he could travel

950
01:05:02,442 --> 01:05:05,737
around and run scams on lonely women.

951
01:05:05,737 --> 01:05:09,407
I gave him the heave-ho when I discovered
that he was engaged to that...

952
01:05:11,910 --> 01:05:18,458
schoolteacher she was. But by then
he had taken me for all my savings.

953
01:05:19,584 --> 01:05:22,170
Did your husband have any
distinguishing marks?

954
01:05:22,212 --> 01:05:26,049
No. Yes he did, behind his left ear.

955
01:05:27,175 --> 01:05:31,179
He cut himself shaving once,
made a terrible mess in the sink.

956
01:05:33,265 --> 01:05:35,600
Thank you for coming, Mrs Castleton.

957
01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:39,729
I don't use that name now.
My name is Rival, Merlina Rival.

958
01:05:40,313 --> 01:05:43,275
It was my stage name before
I ever met my husband

959
01:05:43,275 --> 01:05:46,194
and I reverted to it the moment
he disappeared.

960
01:05:46,236 --> 01:05:50,073
This murder gets more complicated
by the minute.

961
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:53,869
Mais oui. Which can only
mean one thing, mon ami.

962
01:05:55,370 --> 01:05:59,291
The solution it must be very simple.

963
01:06:00,792 --> 01:06:02,460
Where are you going?

964
01:06:02,460 --> 01:06:06,089
I feel it is necessary to speak once
again to the cat lady.

965
01:06:07,007 --> 01:06:11,011
- Madame Hemmings.
- Why?

966
01:06:11,553 --> 01:06:15,682
What an excitement everybody, the big
French Tom's paying us another visit.

967
01:06:15,682 --> 01:06:16,808
I am Belgian madame.

968
01:06:16,850 --> 01:06:20,395
Please sit yourself down, although
you might find the sofa a little damp

969
01:06:20,437 --> 01:06:23,982
because Tiddly-pops is sometimes
tiddly by name as well as by nature,

970
01:06:24,024 --> 01:06:27,652
would you like me to fold up a bath
towel and put it on the seat.

971
01:06:27,652 --> 01:06:31,156
The dampness takes time
to seep through then I find.

972
01:06:31,198 --> 01:06:34,868
Madame, you told to me I think that
in the garden the other evening

973
01:06:35,577 --> 01:06:40,874
you overheard hard words pass between
M. Mabbutt and Mlle Pebmarsh.

974
01:06:40,874 --> 01:06:44,002
- Yes.
- Why was that unusual?

975
01:06:44,044 --> 01:06:46,004
Well because he's never there.

976
01:06:46,046 --> 01:06:49,007
And when he is he's very polite,
a lovely man,

977
01:06:49,049 --> 01:06:53,011
it's that bad-tempered Nanny everyone
usually has ding-dongs with.

978
01:06:53,011 --> 01:06:54,763
Can you remember what was said?

979
01:06:54,804 --> 01:06:58,391
Well, you were there weren't you, Copey?

980
01:06:58,683 --> 01:07:00,352
We need to do it now, Mr Mabbutt!

981
01:07:00,393 --> 01:07:03,021
Not with them swarming all over the place, no.

982
01:07:03,063 --> 01:07:07,025
It will all be wasted if we don't act now!

983
01:07:07,025 --> 01:07:11,780
She was talking about her plants, I imagine,
the way those girls trample all over them.

984
01:07:11,780 --> 01:07:14,616
And this discussion, did it take
place the evening after the body

985
01:07:14,658 --> 01:07:17,369
was discovered in the sitting
room of Mlle Pebmarsh?

986
01:07:17,369 --> 01:07:22,707
No, it was Wednesday, because we'd all just
enjoyed "Band Wagon" on the wireless.

987
01:07:22,707 --> 01:07:25,293
But it was Wednesday that
the body was discovered.

988
01:07:25,293 --> 01:07:29,172
No, Tuesday. Thank you, yes, because
I noticed the laundry van

989
01:07:29,214 --> 01:07:33,718
pull up to her house at lunchtime,
the laundry always arrives on Tuesday.

990
01:07:48,108 --> 01:07:52,112
Monsieur, hello. Hello.

991
01:07:52,654 --> 01:07:54,823
- Hello?
- Mrs Bland.

992
01:07:54,823 --> 01:07:58,410
Ah, Madame Bland!

993
01:07:58,785 --> 01:08:02,539
I hear on the jungle drums that
you've identified the dead man?

994
01:08:03,081 --> 01:08:05,250
Well, shall we say the police
they are confident.

995
01:08:05,250 --> 01:08:07,169
- That's wonderful.
- Yes, indeed.

996
01:08:07,169 --> 01:08:10,797
Oh, tell to me if you please, madame,
from where in Canada are you?

997
01:08:10,839 --> 01:08:15,635
It is simply that I have some friends in
Montreal and I wondered if you knew them.

998
01:08:15,635 --> 01:08:18,096
Oh, not the French speaking part, no.

999
01:08:18,138 --> 01:08:20,932
Edmonton it was. Alberta.

1000
01:08:20,974 --> 01:08:23,351
Je suis desole. How foolish of me.

1001
01:08:23,393 --> 01:08:27,022
Did you find that when you were coming
over here that everyone would say to you -

1002
01:08:27,772 --> 01:08:32,986
"I know someone in England, Newcastle,
please to say hello"?

1003
01:08:32,986 --> 01:08:35,780
- Oh yes, people can be so silly.
- Yes!

1004
01:08:35,822 --> 01:08:39,534
But it was natural for me to settle in Dover
because this is where my sister lives.

1005
01:08:39,910 --> 01:08:42,787
- As well as meeting Joe here.
- But of course.

1006
01:08:42,787 --> 01:08:46,541
Well I'll let you get on, monsieur, but that's
wonderful news about the identification.

1007
01:08:46,541 --> 01:08:50,337
Yes, indeed. Madame.

1008
01:08:55,967 --> 01:08:58,220
We did what you asked.
Do you want to come and see?

1009
01:08:58,220 --> 01:09:00,972
Oui.

1010
01:09:00,972 --> 01:09:05,227
Mademoiselle Jenny, mademoiselle May,
tell to me what is it you have found.

1011
01:09:05,227 --> 01:09:07,062
- Coins.
- Coins?

1012
01:09:07,103 --> 01:09:08,730
About two and six.

1013
01:09:08,730 --> 01:09:10,232
Ah but that's very good.

1014
01:09:10,232 --> 01:09:12,734
And you found all this in the garden
of mademoiselle Pebmarsh?

1015
01:09:12,776 --> 01:09:14,319
But you haven't seen the best thing yet.

1016
01:09:14,361 --> 01:09:16,321
But that was in our garden, not hers.

1017
01:09:16,363 --> 01:09:19,616
What is the best thing?

1018
01:09:20,909 --> 01:09:24,621
S'il ta plait? Merci.

1019
01:09:42,305 --> 01:09:45,433
You may have known him under
a name other than Castleton.

1020
01:09:45,433 --> 01:09:46,935
No sir, no.

1021
01:09:46,977 --> 01:09:50,897
And he was putting pressure on you for
money maybe, maybe he was blackmailing...

1022
01:09:50,897 --> 01:09:54,025
Sir. It's Poirot.

1023
01:09:56,570 --> 01:09:57,529
Hardcastle.

1024
01:09:57,571 --> 01:10:00,699
Inspector? It is a matter of urgency

1025
01:10:00,699 --> 01:10:03,952
that you dispatch but immediately
a telegram to Somerset House.

1026
01:10:03,952 --> 01:10:09,040
It is also a matter of urgency that
I continue to interview my prime suspect,

1027
01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:12,043
so will you go away for ten blinking minutes?

1028
01:10:12,085 --> 01:10:15,881
Non, and you must release
mademoiselle Sheila Webb.

1029
01:10:15,881 --> 01:10:17,465
Release her?

1030
01:10:17,465 --> 01:10:19,968
Oui. It is evident to Poirot
that she is not guilty,

1031
01:10:19,968 --> 01:10:22,471
but I will need her help to prove it.

1032
01:10:22,512 --> 01:10:25,056
Also, I will need to speak
to her over the telephone

1033
01:10:25,056 --> 01:10:28,643
but immediately after I have given
you instructions for Somerset House.

1034
01:10:28,643 --> 01:10:30,061
What is going on Poirot?

1035
01:10:30,103 --> 01:10:32,564
I will tell to you everything
that Poirot has discovered,

1036
01:10:32,564 --> 01:10:35,233
but you must promise to release
Mademoiselle Sheila Webb

1037
01:10:35,275 --> 01:10:38,987
and act according to my instructions.

1038
01:10:39,696 --> 01:10:40,572
Go on.

1039
01:10:40,572 --> 01:10:45,285
You must get Somerset House to verify
the marriage record of Harry Castleton

1040
01:10:45,285 --> 01:10:47,746
to mademoiselle Merlina Rival,

1041
01:10:47,746 --> 01:10:51,750
and you must also get them
to verify something else for me.

1042
01:10:52,542 --> 01:10:54,336
This is Annabel Larkin's I'm sure.

1043
01:10:54,336 --> 01:10:57,589
It was found in the Mabat's garden?

1044
01:10:57,631 --> 01:11:00,967
Also I learnt from his daughters
that this afternoon

1045
01:11:01,009 --> 01:11:04,346
he intends to travel to France.
You must prevent this.

1046
01:11:04,346 --> 01:11:06,264
No, you've got the wrong end of the stick.

1047
01:11:06,306 --> 01:11:10,185
Trawling through the histories
of the neighbours we found this:

1048
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:13,104
The Waterhouses, with their
perfect English name,

1049
01:11:13,104 --> 01:11:15,690
their perfect English voices, are German.

1050
01:11:15,690 --> 01:11:20,862
They came over in 1936 from Munich.
They changed their name from Tuchman.

1051
01:11:20,862 --> 01:11:24,032
But of course they are German,

1052
01:11:24,074 --> 01:11:26,243
did you not notice the slips
in the way they spoke?

1053
01:11:26,284 --> 01:11:28,870
We like this street because it's quiet also.

1054
01:11:28,912 --> 01:11:32,916
The use of the word "also"
at the end of the sentence.

1055
01:11:33,792 --> 01:11:37,587
A mistake most common in even the most
fluent German when they speak English.

1056
01:11:38,088 --> 01:11:40,257
Well, why didn't you say?

1057
01:11:40,257 --> 01:11:42,884
Because they cannot be connected, Lieutenant.

1058
01:11:42,884 --> 01:11:46,388
Maybe they buried this in Mabbutt's
garden to draw us away...

1059
01:11:46,429 --> 01:11:49,307
No, no. Monsieur Mabbutt
and Mademoiselle Pebmarsh

1060
01:11:49,307 --> 01:11:51,977
were overheard on the evening of the murder.

1061
01:11:51,977 --> 01:11:54,146
You need to do it now, Mr Mabbutt!

1062
01:11:54,146 --> 01:11:56,648
Not with them swarming all over the place no!

1063
01:11:56,648 --> 01:11:59,609
It will all be wasted if we don't act now!

1064
01:11:59,609 --> 01:12:02,904
It was presumed that they were
arguing about the children.

1065
01:12:02,904 --> 01:12:05,991
But non, Poirot thinks not. Poirot suspects

1066
01:12:05,991 --> 01:12:09,244
that they were talking about the police
that were now in the neighbourhood

1067
01:12:09,244 --> 01:12:11,538
and the importance of getting
the stolen documents

1068
01:12:11,538 --> 01:12:13,498
to their contact on the continent.

1069
01:12:13,498 --> 01:12:16,418
- Miss Pebmarsh?
- Consider this.

1070
01:12:16,418 --> 01:12:20,255
The note that was made by mademoiselle
Fiona on the night she followed Larkin.

1071
01:12:20,255 --> 01:12:22,174
It would have been made in haste hein?

1072
01:12:22,174 --> 01:12:27,512
A piece of paper, pulled from
her handbag, a scribble.

1073
01:12:31,808 --> 01:12:33,852
What does it mean?

1074
01:12:33,894 --> 01:12:35,687
Number 61? No-one knows what it means.

1075
01:12:35,687 --> 01:12:39,483
Exactement, mon ami, exactement,
so if you please?

1076
01:12:39,608 --> 01:12:43,320
Perhaps Poirot is correct when he does this.

1077
01:12:47,449 --> 01:12:50,035
19 Wilbraham Crescent.

1078
01:12:50,076 --> 01:12:53,288
Mademoiselle Pebmarsh.

1079
01:13:05,091 --> 01:13:07,552
Can I ask you where you're
going please, Mr Mabbutt?

1080
01:13:07,594 --> 01:13:10,555
- Why are you asking?
- Routine.

1081
01:13:10,597 --> 01:13:14,351
Well, I'm taking the Calais ferry
in three quarters of an hour,

1082
01:13:14,392 --> 01:13:18,063
and have business in France for
the next three days. Good day to you.

1083
01:13:18,063 --> 01:13:21,233
Will you step over to the car please, sir.

1084
01:13:21,274 --> 01:13:24,319
Just a minute of your time.

1085
01:13:24,361 --> 01:13:26,613
What is the meaning of this, Lieutenant?

1086
01:13:26,613 --> 01:13:30,325
Bear with us, sir. I apologise
for the inconvenience.

1087
01:13:38,166 --> 01:13:39,209
Good afternoon.

1088
01:13:39,251 --> 01:13:43,255
Good afternoon, Mademoiselle,
it is I, Hercule Poirot.

1089
01:13:44,214 --> 01:13:47,509
And what can I do for you, Monsieur?

1090
01:13:47,509 --> 01:13:51,263
Eh bien, mademoiselle, I have reason
to believe that Mademoiselle Nora Brent

1091
01:13:51,763 --> 01:13:54,432
may have visited the studio
here to have a photograph

1092
01:13:54,432 --> 01:13:56,852
taken with a gentleman,
and I wondered if I might take

1093
01:13:56,852 --> 01:14:00,021
you up on your offer most kind
to have a look through your records.

1094
01:14:00,063 --> 01:14:01,940
Of course.

1095
01:14:01,982 --> 01:14:06,153
Not knowing the gentleman's name I suppose
it would be best if you were to start

1096
01:14:06,153 --> 01:14:09,030
at the beginning of the alphabet
and work your way through.

1097
01:14:09,072 --> 01:14:10,198
Oui d'accord.

1098
01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:13,535
Then you should begin here.

1099
01:14:13,535 --> 01:14:16,413
Merci.

1100
01:14:21,501 --> 01:14:23,461
Fine weather for a crossing today, sir.

1101
01:14:23,461 --> 01:14:26,590
How long is this going to take?

1102
01:14:26,965 --> 01:14:30,093
Just a few minutes more.

1103
01:14:33,513 --> 01:14:36,516
What have we here?

1104
01:14:39,352 --> 01:14:42,397
Get off me!

1105
01:14:54,826 --> 01:14:58,163
Would you like a cup of tea, monsieur?

1106
01:14:58,205 --> 01:15:01,917
Non, no, non, merci, mademoiselle.
I think I have found what I am looking for.

1107
01:15:01,917 --> 01:15:03,919
Already?

1108
01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:05,754
Oui.

1109
01:15:05,795 --> 01:15:09,633
I thought that the sweetheart of
Mademoiselle Nora Brent had a name

1110
01:15:09,633 --> 01:15:14,429
at the beginning of the alphabet
and luck it has struck.

1111
01:15:18,266 --> 01:15:20,852
Millicent Pebmarsh, I am Lieutenant
Race of the Royal Navy

1112
01:15:20,852 --> 01:15:24,481
and I am arresting you under
suspicion of high treason.

1113
01:15:24,981 --> 01:15:27,776
Will you please accompany me?

1114
01:15:31,071 --> 01:15:34,950
So let's have another one then, come on.

1115
01:15:34,991 --> 01:15:36,785
Mrs Rival?

1116
01:15:36,827 --> 01:15:39,454
Oh hello, I've said everything I had to say

1117
01:15:39,454 --> 01:15:43,083
and I'm back to London on the
two-fifteen so thanking you.

1118
01:15:43,500 --> 01:15:44,835
Chin-Chin.

1119
01:15:44,835 --> 01:15:48,713
Can I ask when Harry Castleton
cut himself shaving?

1120
01:15:48,755 --> 01:15:51,466
Well, I don't know when.
When we were together.

1121
01:15:51,466 --> 01:15:52,634
Fifteen years ago?

1122
01:15:52,676 --> 01:15:55,554
I told you I haven't seen him for
fifteen years, didn't you take notes?

1123
01:15:55,595 --> 01:15:58,056
The police surgeon tells me that
it's a much more recent scar.

1124
01:15:58,056 --> 01:16:01,560
Perhaps only two years old.

1125
01:16:01,601 --> 01:16:05,981
Well I remember him doing it, so your
police surgeon is incorrect, your honour.

1126
01:16:06,606 --> 01:16:09,276
Mrs Rival, you know that perverting
the course of justice carries

1127
01:16:09,276 --> 01:16:11,945
a maximum prison sentence of four years?

1128
01:16:11,987 --> 01:16:14,406
Which is why I don't do it.

1129
01:16:14,406 --> 01:16:17,576
Is this your correct address in London?

1130
01:16:17,576 --> 01:16:19,578
I believe it is, yes.

1131
01:16:19,578 --> 01:16:22,497
Good.

1132
01:16:35,343 --> 01:16:38,972
Oh, Sheila. Nice to have you back.

1133
01:16:39,389 --> 01:16:42,142
I've been typing up some of the work
that Nora left unfinished

1134
01:16:42,142 --> 01:16:45,020
on "Naked Love". Now that you're
back perhaps you could take it over.

1135
01:16:45,020 --> 01:16:46,605
Of course, Miss Martindale.

1136
01:16:46,646 --> 01:16:50,567
Well, the manuscript's in my office.
It's lunchtime, girls.

1137
01:16:51,526 --> 01:16:55,155
Quite an operation you had going here.

1138
01:16:56,114 --> 01:16:59,576
Larkin would steal the documents.

1139
01:17:00,785 --> 01:17:04,080
Pebmarsh would make a copy.

1140
01:17:04,122 --> 01:17:07,459
And Mabbutt would make
a drop somewhere in France.

1141
01:17:07,459 --> 01:17:11,338
And all of you recruited
by the Waterhouse's.

1142
01:17:11,338 --> 01:17:12,964
Non, Lieutenant.

1143
01:17:13,006 --> 01:17:17,469
The Waterhouses? You were doing quite
well until you mentioned that scum.

1144
01:17:19,554 --> 01:17:22,140
Excuse me.

1145
01:17:26,019 --> 01:17:28,563
- What are we doing here?
- Are we under arrest?

1146
01:17:28,563 --> 01:17:31,191
Why did you change your name
from Tuchman to Waterhouse,

1147
01:17:31,233 --> 01:17:34,820
why are you living in England
under false identities?

1148
01:17:34,861 --> 01:17:38,073
- Because we are Jewish!
- What?

1149
01:17:38,073 --> 01:17:41,076
We are Jewish!

1150
01:17:41,117 --> 01:17:44,204
But this is England, why are you
disguising the fact you're Jewish?

1151
01:17:44,204 --> 01:17:48,291
Do you think that anti-semitism doesn't
exist here as well, Lieutenant?

1152
01:17:48,291 --> 01:17:51,586
This is our third English city in two years!

1153
01:17:51,628 --> 01:17:53,922
When you have lived through what
we did in Munich, Lieutenant,

1154
01:17:53,964 --> 01:17:55,924
at the first sign of it you move on.

1155
01:17:55,924 --> 01:18:02,139
All we want is to live our lives quietly,
without threat, without prejudice!

1156
01:18:09,604 --> 01:18:14,025
The irony is Lieutenant it's in our
country's interests to have peace

1157
01:18:14,025 --> 01:18:18,572
with Germany. To stop the communists
creeping ever westward.

1158
01:18:19,698 --> 01:18:23,702
We are patriots who pass
information to Hitler,

1159
01:18:23,743 --> 01:18:26,454
because if Chamberlain's policy
of appeasement doesn't hold

1160
01:18:26,496 --> 01:18:29,708
and someone like Churchill gets
his hands on power

1161
01:18:29,749 --> 01:18:33,670
we will be dragged into a war a hundred
times worse than the last one.

1162
01:18:34,921 --> 01:18:37,132
And in that scenario the quicker
Germany knocks

1163
01:18:37,132 --> 01:18:40,510
out a weak liberal England
the better for all Europe.

1164
01:18:40,552 --> 01:18:43,638
Or what would remain
of Europe under the Nazis.

1165
01:18:43,680 --> 01:18:46,975
Monsieur, you have not seen your
country overrun by foreign tyranny.

1166
01:18:46,975 --> 01:18:49,936
I have. And I tell you, monsieur -

1167
01:18:49,978 --> 01:18:53,315
that I value the weak liberal
England, as you call it,

1168
01:18:53,315 --> 01:18:56,485
as a country well worth the fighting for.

1169
01:18:56,526 --> 01:18:59,654
But you won't do the fighting,
will you, Monsieur?

1170
01:18:59,696 --> 01:19:01,990
It will be the young boys again.

1171
01:19:02,032 --> 01:19:05,494
And if I can save one life by keeping
this country weak

1172
01:19:05,494 --> 01:19:09,247
so it cannot engage in war with Germany,

1173
01:19:09,414 --> 01:19:12,584
then I will be proud of what I have done.

1174
01:19:12,584 --> 01:19:15,337
Fiona Hanbury had a life.

1175
01:19:15,378 --> 01:19:18,840
I think people like that are
called collateral, Lieutenant.

1176
01:19:18,840 --> 01:19:20,759
They die for a greater good.

1177
01:19:20,801 --> 01:19:24,012
Please! Stop!

1178
01:19:29,267 --> 01:19:33,271
The man found dead in Miss Pebmarsh's
sitting room also had a life, Mabbutt,

1179
01:19:33,814 --> 01:19:36,107
as did the secretary Nora Brent.

1180
01:19:36,107 --> 01:19:39,110
No sir, Monsieur Poirot and
I don't believe those deaths

1181
01:19:39,152 --> 01:19:40,862
had anything to do with these people.

1182
01:19:40,904 --> 01:19:44,699
In fact if we're correct, Inspector
Hardcastle is, at this moment,

1183
01:19:44,699 --> 01:19:48,119
making an arrest in that
murder investigation.

1184
01:19:48,119 --> 01:19:51,206
He practically put a black cap on
his head and gave me five years,

1185
01:19:51,248 --> 01:19:54,960
I'm not going to go to prison
for four years, I won't do it.

1186
01:19:57,128 --> 01:20:00,966
Well I want more money, more than
the two hundred, no, I want more.

1187
01:20:03,343 --> 01:20:07,305
All right I know where that is,
I'll meet you there.

1188
01:20:09,182 --> 01:20:10,475
Where do you think she's heading?

1189
01:20:10,517 --> 01:20:12,644
Down to the sea front?

1190
01:20:12,686 --> 01:20:15,814
If she can stay upright.

1191
01:20:20,443 --> 01:20:22,404
- Can you see her?
- No.

1192
01:20:22,445 --> 01:20:25,574
Where did she go?

1193
01:20:31,621 --> 01:20:34,166
Sir.

1194
01:21:06,823 --> 01:21:09,868
So now we are all assembled.

1195
01:21:10,160 --> 01:21:12,704
What's this about, Inspector?

1196
01:21:12,704 --> 01:21:14,539
Mr Poirot would like a word.

1197
01:21:14,581 --> 01:21:17,209
But first, please to sit down, all of you.

1198
01:21:17,209 --> 01:21:21,046
Please Mademoiselle Martindale. Monsieur
and Madame Bland. Mademoiselle Sheila Webb.

1199
01:21:30,138 --> 01:21:33,391
I thank you all very very much
for coming here this evening.

1200
01:21:33,391 --> 01:21:36,645
We had little choice.

1201
01:21:39,648 --> 01:21:43,360
This has been a puzzle most intriguing
which has tested Poirot,

1202
01:21:44,653 --> 01:21:47,239
but not found him wanting.

1203
01:21:47,280 --> 01:21:51,243
So first, if I may, let us take
a look at the facts.

1204
01:21:53,245 --> 01:21:55,831
We have a telephone call made
to the Cavendish bureau requesting

1205
01:21:55,872 --> 01:21:57,749
the services of a secretary by name,

1206
01:21:57,791 --> 01:22:01,545
mademoiselle Sheila Webb, a telephone
call that nobody admits to making.

1207
01:22:02,879 --> 01:22:07,342
She arrives in a room full of clocks,
that nobody admits to owning.

1208
01:22:07,467 --> 01:22:10,262
But all of these clocks they
spell exactly the same time,

1209
01:22:10,262 --> 01:22:14,099
four thirteen, which has no significance.

1210
01:22:16,143 --> 01:22:20,564
She finds there a dead man with
an identification that is false,

1211
01:22:20,689 --> 01:22:24,526
and who is impossible to trace,
because nobody knows him.

1212
01:22:25,610 --> 01:22:29,281
I hope you will agree with me on these
facts, Mademoiselle Martindale?

1213
01:22:29,281 --> 01:22:30,699
Yes.

1214
01:22:30,699 --> 01:22:32,868
Madame Bland?

1215
01:22:32,909 --> 01:22:36,454
I don't understand why myself and my
husband have been summoned here.

1216
01:22:36,496 --> 01:22:39,291
All will become clear, madame.

1217
01:22:39,291 --> 01:22:43,003
Then we have the note most threatening that
was sent to mademoiselle Sheila Webb,

1218
01:22:43,003 --> 01:22:46,089
we have the second murder
that of the poor Nora Brent,

1219
01:22:46,131 --> 01:22:48,467
who was a colleague of Mademoiselle
Webb and we have

1220
01:22:48,508 --> 01:22:52,888
the identification definitive of the dead
man down to the scar behind his left ear.

1221
01:22:52,888 --> 01:22:57,267
A gentleman who apparently was seen
in the hotel with mademoiselle Sheila Webb.

1222
01:22:57,267 --> 01:23:00,812
A man who preyed on women who are vulnerable.

1223
01:23:00,854 --> 01:23:03,648
And then we have
complication upon complication.

1224
01:23:03,648 --> 01:23:05,901
We have evidence that is totally
circumstantial that builds

1225
01:23:05,942 --> 01:23:09,863
and builds into a wall of proof
against mademoiselle Sheila Webb.

1226
01:23:11,448 --> 01:23:15,076
But Poirot he realises that in amongst this,

1227
01:23:15,619 --> 01:23:17,370
what is the word for obscurisement?

1228
01:23:17,412 --> 01:23:21,416
This dark cloud of murder there is one fact

1229
01:23:21,458 --> 01:23:25,420
that can be proved, is that not so, Monsieur?

1230
01:23:25,462 --> 01:23:26,505
Which is what?

1231
01:23:26,505 --> 01:23:29,299
Which is the eyewitness
Lieutenant Race, who saw...

1232
01:23:29,299 --> 01:23:31,968
...a woman so frightened, so bewildered

1233
01:23:31,968 --> 01:23:35,931
that it was not possible for her
to have committed murder.

1234
01:23:37,349 --> 01:23:39,810
It was the Lieutenant Race also
who led Poirot to the solution

1235
01:23:39,851 --> 01:23:41,812
when he said of the note most threatening...

1236
01:23:41,812 --> 01:23:43,939
The only thing missing is
that it's not written in blood.

1237
01:23:43,980 --> 01:23:48,485
Mes amis, there are moments for
a detective when a light it goes on.

1238
01:23:49,986 --> 01:23:52,864
Where had I heard before that expression?

1239
01:23:52,906 --> 01:23:54,366
A cheap thriller on the stage?

1240
01:23:54,366 --> 01:23:56,451
Exactement, mon ami, exactement.

1241
01:23:56,493 --> 01:24:00,539
The word "Revenge" written
in his blood on the blotter.

1242
01:24:00,664 --> 01:24:04,417
Helas! The cheap thriller.
The plots that are complicated.

1243
01:24:04,459 --> 01:24:07,879
The usual diet of the Cavendish Bureau,
Mademoiselle Martindale

1244
01:24:07,879 --> 01:24:11,591
and it made me to think of la pauvre
mademoiselle Nora Brent,

1245
01:24:11,716 --> 01:24:15,178
a young woman who was killed because...

1246
01:24:15,178 --> 01:24:16,638
The heel of her shoe broke.

1247
01:24:16,680 --> 01:24:17,973
Oh fiddlesticks!

1248
01:24:17,973 --> 01:24:20,225
Twenty yards from her place of work.

1249
01:24:20,267 --> 01:24:24,104
Which meant that she returned early
to her desk in her lunch hour that day.

1250
01:24:24,312 --> 01:24:27,482
She knew that the telephone it did not sound.

1251
01:24:27,482 --> 01:24:30,318
She knew that there was no telephone
call from mademoiselle Pebmarsh

1252
01:24:30,318 --> 01:24:33,155
requesting the services of the secretary
mademoiselle Sheila Webb.

1253
01:24:33,155 --> 01:24:35,824
I received the call from a Miss Pebmarsh

1254
01:24:35,824 --> 01:24:38,493
at about a quarter to two
during the lunch hour.

1255
01:24:38,535 --> 01:24:40,745
I don't see how what she said could be true.

1256
01:24:40,745 --> 01:24:41,830
Yes, thank you madame.

1257
01:24:41,872 --> 01:24:44,457
What she said couldn't possibly be true.

1258
01:24:44,499 --> 01:24:47,419
So she had to be silenced.

1259
01:24:49,629 --> 01:24:53,175
Is that not so, Mademoiselle Martindale?

1260
01:24:53,216 --> 01:24:54,593
That is ridiculous.

1261
01:24:54,593 --> 01:24:57,929
No more ridiculous than the cheap thrillers,
the plots that are complicated

1262
01:24:57,929 --> 01:25:00,015
that you had spent your life working amongst.

1263
01:25:00,015 --> 01:25:01,433
Lunchtime girls!

1264
01:25:01,433 --> 01:25:03,602
And it was at the instigation
of Hercule Poirot

1265
01:25:03,643 --> 01:25:06,438
that Mademoiselle Sheila Webb
she made the search of the papers

1266
01:25:06,480 --> 01:25:10,150
of the estate of Garry Gregson
and she found this short story

1267
01:25:10,150 --> 01:25:11,943
that Poirot he remembered.

1268
01:25:11,943 --> 01:25:16,239
It is full of clocks,
identifications that are false.

1269
01:25:16,281 --> 01:25:20,076
There is even a build up of evidence
to frame a person who is innocent,

1270
01:25:20,368 --> 01:25:22,704
who felt so implicated in
a crime they did not commit

1271
01:25:22,746 --> 01:25:25,207
that they became frightened and irrational

1272
01:25:25,248 --> 01:25:29,002
and therefore more suspicious to the police.

1273
01:25:29,294 --> 01:25:31,463
It is all here, Mademoiselle,

1274
01:25:31,505 --> 01:25:34,508
you could not even think
of a plot of your own devising.

1275
01:25:34,549 --> 01:25:37,719
Oh, except, pardon, the addition
you made of the clock,

1276
01:25:37,761 --> 01:25:41,306
the "Rosemary" clock that you stole from
the handbag of mademoiselle Sheila Webb

1277
01:25:41,348 --> 01:25:44,893
when she took it to the jewellers
to be repaired. Is that not so?

1278
01:25:44,893 --> 01:25:47,813
And then you frighten her
with the number 4.13

1279
01:25:47,813 --> 01:25:52,776
the time of the clocks but also the room in
the hotel where mademoiselle Sheila Webb

1280
01:25:52,901 --> 01:25:56,154
conducted her love affair that
was to you, oh, so shameful.

1281
01:25:56,196 --> 01:25:58,156
But she is not what she seems,

1282
01:25:58,156 --> 01:26:01,576
because for mademoiselle
Sheila Webb, her love it was real.

1283
01:26:01,576 --> 01:26:03,912
Why would I want that man dead

1284
01:26:03,954 --> 01:26:06,832
in Wilbraham Crescent, Monsieur,
I didn't even know him.

1285
01:26:06,873 --> 01:26:10,627
Do you know what this is Madame Bland?

1286
01:26:11,545 --> 01:26:13,755
It is the death certificate
of the first Madame Bland.

1287
01:26:13,755 --> 01:26:17,551
Not you, but a woman from Canada.

1288
01:26:17,717 --> 01:26:21,263
The woman who inherited all of the money.

1289
01:26:21,429 --> 01:26:25,308
When the inheritance came through
Joe said no-one would know,

1290
01:26:25,433 --> 01:26:28,353
they didn't know his wife was dead,
and all we had to do was...

1291
01:26:28,395 --> 01:26:32,107
- Shut up, Val!
- Shut up!

1292
01:26:37,362 --> 01:26:40,365
So who is the dead man, Poirot?

1293
01:26:40,407 --> 01:26:42,701
I do not know, Inspector.

1294
01:26:42,701 --> 01:26:45,203
But as I told to you before

1295
01:26:45,203 --> 01:26:48,498
it is not important who he is, but who he is.

1296
01:26:48,498 --> 01:26:52,252
And Poirot suspects that he is
a friend or relative

1297
01:26:52,252 --> 01:26:54,880
of the first Madame Bland who left Canada,

1298
01:26:54,880 --> 01:26:56,798
came to this country to look her up.

1299
01:26:56,798 --> 01:26:59,634
This was a man who knew that the money
had gone to the wrong woman.

1300
01:26:59,676 --> 01:27:02,137
A man who, if murdered,
would become almost impossible

1301
01:27:02,179 --> 01:27:03,889
to trace for the police in England.

1302
01:27:03,930 --> 01:27:06,183
Madame Bland, you said
something strange to Poirot.

1303
01:27:06,183 --> 01:27:09,227
But it was natural for me to settle in Dover
because this is where my sister lives.

1304
01:27:09,227 --> 01:27:11,813
Your sister, Madame Bland...

1305
01:27:11,855 --> 01:27:15,567
Your sister who is as Canadian as you are.

1306
01:27:22,866 --> 01:27:26,912
When the letter from his wife's uncle arrived
Joe said he and Kathy could work it out.

1307
01:27:26,912 --> 01:27:29,998
He could rig the old van up
to look like the laundry.

1308
01:27:29,998 --> 01:27:33,293
Ah yes, of course the laundry van that
was seen to arrive by Madame Hemmings.

1309
01:27:33,293 --> 01:27:36,588
But it arrived on the wrong day. It arrived
on the Wednesday instead of the Tuesday.

1310
01:27:36,588 --> 01:27:39,925
Yes, you see because they wanted
to dump him at the blind woman's.

1311
01:27:39,966 --> 01:27:42,594
Find a mark on his body
and get a Merlina to verify it.

1312
01:27:42,636 --> 01:27:44,596
Who you knew from your days in the theatre?

1313
01:27:44,596 --> 01:27:46,681
Come on in. This way.

1314
01:27:46,723 --> 01:27:48,767
I hope this isn't an inconvenience?

1315
01:27:48,809 --> 01:27:51,853
Oh, not at all.

1316
01:27:54,940 --> 01:27:58,652
There look. He has a scar
behind his left ear.

1317
01:28:00,529 --> 01:28:03,698
Kathy said she knew how to make it work,
that there was a young tart

1318
01:28:03,698 --> 01:28:06,159
at the bureau who no-one would
miss, who would deserve it.

1319
01:28:06,159 --> 01:28:09,955
She said she'd set her up,
it would be all right.

1320
01:28:09,996 --> 01:28:12,791
They said there would be no reason for
the body to be at the blind woman's

1321
01:28:12,791 --> 01:28:15,710
house with Sheila Webb and it
would just confuse the police,

1322
01:28:15,710 --> 01:28:19,673
it would be confusion upon confusion,
complication upon complication.

1323
01:28:22,050 --> 01:28:26,471
Joe had worked so hard all his life for
nothing, and the money was so huge...

1324
01:28:26,471 --> 01:28:29,766
it was so huge...

1325
01:28:50,620 --> 01:28:56,084
But they made me do it, they made me put the
knife into Sheila Webb's bag at the inquest.

1326
01:28:56,793 --> 01:28:58,086
Would you like a cup of tea?

1327
01:28:58,128 --> 01:29:01,339
They made me press Merlina to come
and lie to falsify the marriage,

1328
01:29:01,381 --> 01:29:05,302
and falsely identify the body and then
when she was scared to...

1329
01:29:06,303 --> 01:29:09,931
to come to the sea front
so they could kill her...

1330
01:29:09,931 --> 01:29:12,684
it was only going to be the one death...

1331
01:29:12,684 --> 01:29:16,062
it was only going to be the one...

1332
01:29:24,362 --> 01:29:26,865
In the car!

1333
01:29:33,246 --> 01:29:36,124
OK, madame, in the back.

1334
01:29:47,260 --> 01:29:50,972
- Thank you.
- Mademoiselle.

1335
01:29:55,644 --> 01:29:58,480
Thank you, Mr Poirot.

1336
01:29:58,522 --> 01:30:02,609
And if you're staying in Dover tonight, I'd
very much like to stand you another pint.

1337
01:30:02,651 --> 01:30:06,696
Well that is most kind of you, Inspector,
but it is tonight that I travel to London.

1338
01:30:07,489 --> 01:30:10,283
But if you should ever find yourself there,

1339
01:30:10,325 --> 01:30:13,995
if you please to look me up
I will stand for you the cocktail.

1340
01:30:13,995 --> 01:30:17,415
Right. Pleasure to know you, sir.

1341
01:30:17,457 --> 01:30:20,919
- Inspector.
- Lieutenant.

1342
01:30:24,631 --> 01:30:28,343
Monsieur Colin, do I have
to tell you to go after her?

1343
01:30:31,304 --> 01:30:32,514
No.

1344
01:30:32,556 --> 01:30:36,017
Then go after her.

1345
01:31:09,718 --> 01:31:12,471
I've only known you a few days,

1346
01:31:12,512 --> 01:31:16,433
and already it's like we've fallen in love,

1347
01:31:16,975 --> 01:31:20,770
got married, had seven children, divorced,

1348
01:31:21,605 --> 01:31:24,816
met again under peculiar circumstances,

1349
01:31:24,858 --> 01:31:29,154
married, had a few more children, divorced...

1350
01:31:36,328 --> 01:31:39,748
She must have hated me so much.

1351
01:31:46,046 --> 01:31:49,382
Shall we start again, Sheila?

1352
01:31:52,677 --> 01:31:56,389
- Yes please.
- Let's start again.
