Transcript

00:00British pies are famous the world over, and last year, Farley's Foods produced 5 million of them.

00:22Everything from steak and kidney to Cornish pasties.

00:26But that's not enough for old man Farley.

00:28He wants to double the score.

00:31Work's been pushing ahead on the new extension to his factory.

00:35And this week, the Great Day Dawn.

00:58The Great Day Dawn is a production of the Great Day Dawn.

01:06The Great Day Dawn is a production of the Great Day Dawn.

01:20The Great Day Dawn is a production of the Great Day Dawn.

01:25My friends, I hope I may call you my friends.

01:53After all, I pay your wages.

02:05In 1935, we sold more pies than at any time in our history.

02:15Yet there are those among you, politically motivated, who still try

02:23to say that you are not doing well.

02:28Don't listen to them.

02:32And now, let us move on to happier things.

02:39As long as I stand before you here to open yet

02:44another viewing of our great enterprise.

02:53Joanna?

02:54Why didn't you call me yesterday?

02:56You mustn't come here.

02:58Joanna!

03:17Why didn't you call me yesterday?

03:19You mustn't come here.

03:20I've got to see you.

03:21It's no good, Joanna.

03:23Oh, it isn't.

03:24What do you mean?

03:26I've been given two weeks' notice.

03:29By my father?

03:30Well, not directly, but yes.

03:33Why?

03:34Because he's found out about us, of course.

03:39I've got to go.

03:44Oh, God.

03:49I'd like to think there has been a partnership.

03:52A partnership between the Farley family and we humble mortals in the municipality.

04:05There are other jobs, Herbert.

04:07Not with your father's bad opinion following me wherever I go.

04:10I could kill him! I could really kill him!

04:13Talking like that doesn't do any good.

04:21And now it gives me great pleasure to declare this new wing well and truly open.

04:30That's right.

04:31Thank you very much.

04:32Thank you very much.

04:33Thanks, Sen.

04:34I'd like to say to .

05:21Father.

05:23This is your chance.

05:25What?

05:26This is your chance to invest in a pair of home-fit real leather shoes.

05:30That's clever. Fits but with a PH.

05:33Just return this card and our representatives will call on you.

05:37Made-to-measure shoes, apparently.

05:39Seem awfully reasonable.

05:41Don't suppose there are any made-to-measure typewriters in there, have they?

05:45Sorry?

05:47Ever since last Easter I've been asking Mr Porrow for a new typewriter.

05:52Mr Porrow isn't mean, but he is careful.

05:56We found this typewriter in the flat when he moved in.

05:59Someone had left it.

06:01Jolly useful.

06:03Who's Benedict Farley?

06:06I have no idea.

06:11Oh, isn't me Farley's pies?

06:12Pies?

06:13What?

06:14What?

06:15Dear Sir, Mr Benedict Farley would like to have the benefit of your advice.

06:19If convenient to yourself, he would be glad if we would call upon him at the above address

06:23at 9.30 tomorrow Thursday evening.

06:26Yours truly, Hugo Cornworthy, secretary.

06:30P.S.

06:31Please bring this letter with you.

06:33Repeat that, if you please, Hastings.

06:39Dear Sir, Mr...

06:40No, no, no, no.

06:41Just the postscript.

06:43P.S.

06:45Please bring this letter with you.

06:50Why?

06:51Why?

06:52Why, Hastings?

06:56An interesting letter.

06:58Is it?

06:59I thought it was rather dull.

07:01Miss Lemon says he makes pies.

07:04Makes pies?

07:06Hastings, to say that Benedict Farley makes pies is like saying that Wagner wrote semiquavals.

07:13Are they good pies, are they?

07:15No, horrible.

07:16But there are a great many of them.

07:31Well done.

07:32Yeah!

07:33The phone said Orico of Benedict Farley's wealth has their minds, eh?

07:50The fonds and orego of Benedict Farley's wealth, I surmise, eh?

07:57And that, Hastings, is where he makes his sausages, his pies, his hands.

08:03Useful, eh? Living above the shop.

08:06I suppose from here Farley likes to keep an eye on his employees.

08:09No doubt.

08:10But it is a pity that such diligence does not improve the quality of his so-called delectables.

08:20Good evening.

08:22Good evening, sir.

08:25Monsieur Poirot and Captain Hastings.

08:28To Siemstefali.

08:29I'm sorry, sir. I was instructed to admit only one.

08:33Oh, come now.

08:35I was instructed most positively, sir. I'm sorry.

08:42You know this is most inconvenient.

08:45You'll excuse me, sir. I was told to ask for a letter.

08:48Pardon?

08:48Oh, yes, sir.

08:51Ah.

08:55Thank you, sir.

09:11Ah.

09:12The gentleman you are expecting, sir.

09:27So.

09:29You're Hercule Poirot, eh?

09:32Monsieur?

09:33Sit down.

09:35Sit down.

09:36What is it that you wish to consult me about, Monsieur Fali?

09:58I have the same dream, night after night.

10:03I'm sitting in my room next to this, sitting at my desk, writing.

10:12There's a clock in there.

10:16I look up at it.

10:17When I see the time, it is exactly 28 minutes past 12, always the same time.

10:27You understand?

10:29When I see the time, Poirot, I know I've got to do it.

10:34At 28 minutes past 12, I open the second drawer down, on the right of my desk, I take out a revolver, I load it, then I go over to the window.

10:51And then, I shoot myself.

10:58I just lift the gun to my head and shoot myself.

11:07What do you make of that?

11:14I've already consulted a specialist in Harley Street.

11:20And what does this specialist tell you?

11:23He was preposterous.

11:26He asserted my life is so unbearable to me, I deliberately want to end it.

11:30He is a fool.

11:35Why should I want to kill myself?

11:36One of the richest men in the country.

11:38I have everything I could possibly want.

11:40I am a happy man.

11:47So where do I come in, Monsieur Farley?

11:49Supposing someone wants to kill me, could they do it this way?

12:06Hypnotism, you mean?

12:09You see what I'm getting at.

12:13Who is it that you suspect of wanting to kill you, Monsieur?

12:16Nobody.

12:17Nobody at all.

12:19You had no one specific in mind?

12:21Certainly not.

12:25I should like to see the scene of this drama.

12:29The desk, the clock, the revolver.

12:31No.

12:32I've told you all there is to tell.

12:33There's nothing to see next door.

12:35Nevertheless, I should like to see for myself.

12:36There is no need.

12:38I just want your opinion.

12:43But I can hardly have an opinion on such skimpy evidence.

12:47There's an end of it, then.

12:49I've told you the facts.

12:50You can't make anything of it.

12:51That closes the matter.

12:53You can send me in your bill for a consultation fee.

12:55I shall not fail to do so.

13:09Wait.

13:09I shall not fail to do so.

13:13Wait.

13:18That letter.

13:20I want it.

13:21The letter from your secretary?

13:23Yes.

13:40A thousand pardons, monsieur.

13:54What?

13:55I have committed a folly, eh?

13:57The letter I handed to you just now, it was a letter from my landlord.

14:02This is your letter.

14:05Why the devil can't you watch what you're doing?

14:10Over, monsieur.

14:11How'd you get on in there?

14:39Not well, I'm afraid.

14:44There is something wrong in that house, Hastings.

14:48Badly wrong.

14:50And I haven't the faintest idea what it is.

14:53Badly wrong.

15:10Badly wrong.

15:15Get off, boy. I want these documents in Lettenhall Street by one o'clock.

15:33Well, go on, then. Run!

15:35Uh, excuse me, sir. Mr. Cornworthy said you might spare us a moment.

15:54What's going on? Twelve o'clock, he said.

15:57All right, all right. He's a very busy man. Now, let's just sit down.

16:05Relax.

16:31Mr. Cornworthy? Mr. Tremlett?

16:35Are you still here?

16:37We've been here an hour, nearly. Over an hour.

16:40Well, I'll go and see what he's up to. He's got to sign these, anyway.

16:48Bloody nerve. That's our dinner hour gone. I know that.

16:51He'll see us now.

16:53Good God!

16:59For God's sake, someone send for the police!

17:03I can't go on like this, Mr. Poirot. That machine is more than flesh and blood can stand.

17:10But you have never complained before.

17:12I've done nothing but complain for the last six months!

17:15No!

17:16It has been mentioned, Poirot.

17:17Kindly, do not band together against Poirot.

17:20I wasn't.

17:21Do I not do my best to keep us all happy?

17:23I don't want to be happy. I just want a new...

17:26Poirot.

17:29Poirot.

17:31Ah!

17:32Inspector Jap, my old friend.

17:35I'm at Northway House, Poirot, Benedict Farley's place.

17:39I'd like you to come over here if you'd be so kind.

17:42Mr. Farley has shot himself.

17:48Most peculiar story I ever heard.

17:50I've never heard such poppycock.

17:52Father had no use for dreams and such rubbish.

17:55Nevertheless, that is what he told me.

17:57Yes, he... he mentioned it to me.

18:00It upset him very much.

18:02I told him it was indigestion, I'm afraid.

18:05I suggested his calling in Dr. Stillingpleat.

18:08He never did.

18:09From Mr. Poirot's story, I gather he went to Harley Street.

18:12Yes, he told me he consulted a specialist.

18:16But is it known who this specialist was?

18:19None of us had any idea that he'd consulted anyone.

18:22And he never spoke to you about a dream?

18:25No.

18:29And you, Monsieur Conworthy?

18:31No, he said nothing about it at all.

18:34I took down a letter to you at his dictation,

18:37but I have no idea why he wanted to consult you.

18:39I thought it might have something to do with some business irregularity.

18:46I see.

18:49Inspector Jabb,

18:50can you tell me the events

18:53leading up to the death of Monsieur Benedict Farley?

18:56Well, Mr. Farley had agreed to see two representatives from the works.

18:59It was a proposal for forming a union.

19:03Some hopes.

19:04Yes, quite some.

19:06A little before one o'clock,

19:07Mr. Cornworthy here came out of his room and went into Mr. Farley.

19:11He couldn't see him at first and thought the room was empty.

19:14Then he caught sight of a boot sticking out from behind the desk.

19:17And what happened then?

19:28I ran out of the room

19:29and I told the butler

19:31to call Dr. Stillingfleet

19:33and

19:34he did.

19:37The body was found down there.

19:58At what time did he die, Doctor?

20:01I examined the body at 32 minutes past one.

20:04Mr. Farley had been dead at least one hour.

20:06So he could have died at this 1228

20:08he told you about.

20:09Precisely.

20:11Were there any fingerprints on the revolver?

20:14Only his own.

20:15And please tell me about the revolver itself.

20:17Well, it was the one he kept in the drawer of his desk.

20:20Again, just as he told you.

20:22Mrs. Farley has identified it positively.

20:24Yes, see.

20:24What's more, that's the only entrance to the room.

20:27Well, apart from the windows, I suppose.

20:36I cannot see how anybody could climb up there.

20:48It's a funny room for a rich man to choose this study, isn't it?

20:52That great, ugly, blank wall right outside.

20:56I think it is important, that wall.

20:59You mean psychologically?

21:02Perhaps.

21:02At 28 minutes past 12,

21:10I open the second drawer down on the right of my desk.

21:15I take out the revolver,

21:18load it,

21:20I go over to the window,

21:26and then...

21:30and then I shoot myself.

21:37I just lift the gun to my head

21:39and shoot myself.

21:42I should not have thought

21:50that there is any reason for you

21:51to doubt the accuracy of the dream's prediction, Inspector.

21:54In fact,

21:55there is every reason to suggest

21:57that Benedict Farley committed suicide.

22:00Well, there would have been no doubt about it at all.

22:02But for one point...

22:04And what was that?

22:06A letter written to you.

22:08Ah, I see.

22:10So where Hercule Poirot is concerned,

22:13there arises immediately

22:14the suspicion of murder?

22:16Precisely.

22:27Touché.

22:37Touché.

22:40Touché.

22:41Touché.

22:41All right.

23:11Hello, Monsieur Poirot.

23:32Fancy your chances?

23:33No, no, no. Thank you very much, mademoiselle.

23:35But essentially, Hercule Poirot is a man of peace.

23:38But perhaps, though, I could ask you a few questions.

23:44Ask away.

23:46Did you know that your father kept a revolver in his desk?

23:50No.

23:51Where were you and your mother, pardon, that is to say your stepmother, that is correct?

24:02Yes, Louise is my father's second wife.

24:05She's only eight years older than I am.

24:06So where were you and she on Thursday night of last week?

24:12Thursday.

24:13We went to the theatre to see Thumbs Up.

24:16Your father did not suggest accompanying you?

24:18He never went out to theatres.

24:20He was not a very sociable man.

24:22My father had a singularly unpleasant personality.

24:26That is a very candid statement, mademoiselle.

24:29I'm saving you time, Monsieur Poirot.

24:31I realise quite well what you're getting at.

24:33Sir, I live here because I have no money to live elsewhere.

24:38There is a man that I wish to marry.

24:40A poor man.

24:42My father saw to it that he lost his job.

24:45You wanted me, you see, to marry well.

24:46An easy matter since I was his heiress.

24:49So your father's fortune passes to you?

24:52Yes.

24:52Well, that is to say, he left Louise, my stepmother, a quarter of a million free of tax.

24:57And there are other few small legacies, but the residue of it goes to me.

25:02So you see, Monsieur Poirot, I had every reason to desire my father's death.

25:08I see also, mademoiselle, that you have inherited your father's intelligence.

25:13Your father was clever.

25:15Did it all turn sour?

25:17There was no humanity left.

25:20Is there anything more?

25:22Yes.

25:26How poor was your father's eyesight?

25:30He could scarcely see at all, and not without his glasses.

25:34His sight had always been bad from a boy.

25:36But with his glasses?

25:38Oh, he could see all right then, of course.

25:43All right, Constable, tell Sergeant Ball this is going to take longer than I expected.

25:46Thank you, sir.

25:48Ah, Mrs Farley.

25:50Something I'd like to ask you.

25:53Yes.

25:55Had your husband ever been hypnotized?

25:58Never, to my knowledge.

26:00Was he interested in that sort of thing, hypnotism?

26:02No.

26:03Oh, that horrible dream.

26:05It's uncanny.

26:07To dream that same awful dream, night after night, it's as though he were hounded to his death.

26:12Had it ever occurred to you that your husband might be tempted to do away with himself?

26:18No.

26:20Well, sometimes he was rather queer.

26:23Poppycock, father was far too fond of himself ever to commit suicide.

26:27You don't know everything, Joanna.

26:29I know that much.

26:33Pardon, Madame Fally.

26:36How many pairs of glasses did your husband own?

26:40Glasses?

26:41Well, spectacles.

26:42I've no idea.

26:43Three, four?

26:45Ah.

26:48Come in.

27:00Ah, mon dieu.

27:02How different this room looks in daylight.

27:06Can I do something for you?

27:08Ah, and I seem as sure that you share the same inspiring view as your late employer.

27:13Oh, yes.

27:16On the other side of that wall are the fools who made Mr. Fally's wealth for him.

27:24I think that's why he chose to have his study this side of the house.

27:28I see.

27:32You know, I feel sure if that wall could talk, it would tell us something, no?

27:36No, no, no, no, no.

28:06Did he usually receive the visitors in here?

28:13Quite often.

28:16Particularly if people hadn't come to the house before.

28:20I see.

28:27Thank you, Monsieur Cornwallis.

28:29Thank you, Monsieur Cornwallis.

28:36Inspector, this dream of Benedict Fally is very important.

28:43He dreamed, he said, of committing suicide.

28:46And later on, he did commit suicide.

28:50Now, when I say suicide, he was alone in his room and was found with a gun in his hand.

28:56And no one entered or left the room at the time he was shot.

29:00So what does this mean, Chief Inspector?

29:03Well, that there's no other possibility.

29:05That he must be serious, sir.

29:07Au contraire.

29:08It means a very unusual and very cleverly planned murder.

29:16Planned how?

29:17Planned by who?

29:18Well, it is no good, is it, Chief Inspector, if I just give you the answer.

29:24Well.

29:25No.

29:26We must give their little gray cells time to do their work.

29:29And give Poirot time to work out who did it and how.

29:59This is not like you, Poirot.

30:06But this is not like the gray cells, Hastings.

30:11I have given them every chance.

30:14They have been cosseted.

30:16I have slept to allow them to do their work.

30:19I have eaten fish for breakfast.

30:21Result, nothing!

30:22It'll come, Poirot.

30:24The little gray cells have never let you down yet.

30:26But is this not an indication, perhaps, of what is in store?

30:30A sign that they are weakened by old age and the fast living?

30:36Fast living, Poirot?

30:37I wouldn't call your life exactly fast.

30:40Not now, perhaps, Hastings, but in my youth.

30:45Really?

30:46Oh.

30:48Really?

30:50You see, one pays, Hastings.

30:52Eventually, one is called to settle one's account.

30:57I say.

31:02I shall have another tea, son.

31:10Brother!

31:22Mr. Poirot, I...

31:25What is it, Mr. Poirot?

31:27Another tea, son, if you please, Miss Lemmon.

31:30Oh, dear.

31:31You had your nine o'clock one.

31:34Serious measures are called for, Miss Lemmon.

31:45Dear.

31:45Do you have the time, please, Miss Lemmon?

31:50Of course, Mr. Poirot.

31:57What are you doing, Miss Lemmon?

32:01It's five to ten, Mr. Poirot.

32:03But what were you doing out there?

32:05If I lean right out, I can just see the church clock.

32:08Would it not be simpler to wear the watch?

32:10I can't, Mr. Poirot.

32:12My magnetism upsets them.

32:13Oh, I'm sorry.

32:15All my life, I've been looking for a watch that won't go wild as soon as I put it on,

32:19but I've never made it.

32:22Whatever is the matter, Mr. Poirot?

32:24Miss Lemmon, you are beautiful.

32:29Now, would you please be so kind as to telephone the Chief Inspector Chap

32:32and ask him to assemble the whole Farley household at noon.

32:36In the hall, huh?

32:39Come, Hastings, we have work to do.

32:42All has become clear.

32:44Then, they're brought in here from the pastry room and loaded into the ovens.

32:51The ovens have got to be sealed and closed by 12.15 because we start the bake at 12.30 sharp.

32:59If, after we hadn't done that, Mr. Farley was on the telephone quicker than you could say three little figures.

33:05Did he come regularly to the factory?

33:07Oh, no.

33:09No, he hadn't done that for, uh, six or seven years.

33:13Well, not regularly.

33:14But he seemed to know if we hadn't started the bake on time.

33:18In the office, we used to say he had second sight as far as the pork pie was concerned.

33:24Well, that was just by way of a joke.

33:26Then, um, after the bake, which takes about an hour and a half,

33:30we take them out of the ovens, and then they go round the corner...

33:34Now, remember what I told you?

33:48Now, remember what I told you?

34:02Yes.

34:03Is it loaded?

34:05Oh, yes.

34:13Here he comes.

34:18Here he comes.

34:48What is the most extraordinary thing about this case?

34:55Well, the dream, I'd say.

34:57If we hadn't got your word for it, Paro, uh...

35:00Exactement!

35:02The telling of the dream was vital.

35:06But, mes amis, there is more to it than that.

35:08Where did this telling of the dream take place?

35:12Mr. Benedict Farley received me here in his secretary's room

35:18and refused, point blank, to let me see into his own room just a few feet away.

35:24Why did he do that, huh?

35:26Because there was something in that room he could not afford to have me see.

35:31What?

35:31We will come to that.

35:32When Mr. Benedict Farley asked me to return his letter to him, by inadvertence, I handed

35:40to him the correspondence from my landlord.

35:43One glance should have told him it was a wrong letter.

35:47Didn't he have his glasses on?

35:48Oh, yes, he had on his glasses.

35:50So why did Mr. Benedict Farley not realize the difference between two totally dissimilar letters, huh?

35:57Because, mes amis, I was in the company of a man with normal eyesight wearing powerful glasses.

36:04And such powerful glasses would render a man of normal eyesight practically blind.

36:08Is that not so, doctor?

36:09If they were very powerful spectacles, yes.

36:12Eh bien!

36:13So why was I not allowed to go into Mr. Benedict Farley's room that night?

36:17What was in Mr. Benedict Farley's room that I was not allowed to see?

36:22Mesdames et messieurs, shall I enlighten you?

36:25I wish you would, Poirot.

36:27Very well.

36:34Poirot shall enlighten you.

36:35Well, what was in Mr. Benedict Farley's own room that Mr. Benedict Farley did not allow me to see was

36:42Mr. Benedict Farley.

36:46Good God!

36:52Yesterday afternoon,

36:55there are three witnesses

36:58to swear that no one comes in or out of Mr. Benedict Farley's room.

37:03Mr. Benedict Farley is in his room next door, and as 1228 approaches, he readies himself.

37:13You see,

37:15Mr. Cornworthy

37:16knows something

37:18that very few other people know.

37:22He knows

37:23that Mr. Benedict Farley,

37:25every day, after all these years,

37:27who are still interested in the day-to-day running of his factory,

37:31checks up on his employees.

37:34Let us see

37:35how he does this.

37:57How can this

38:06King of Pies

38:08observe his workers

38:09without ever leaving this house, huh?

38:15Simple.

38:16You see,

38:18the uninviting delicacy

38:20is first steamed

38:21for one hour before it is baked,

38:23and the release valves

38:25and the vast ovens

38:26which are situated

38:27beyond that wall

38:29are briefly tested

38:31as soon as the ovens

38:33are loaded.

38:41Eh bien,

38:42if one

38:43leans out of this window,

38:45one can readily confirm this fact.

38:47Now,

38:49if you please,

38:51I want you all

38:52to come to these two windows,

38:53lean out

38:54and look

38:54to your right.

38:58Monsieur Cornworthy,

38:59why don't you lead the way?

39:02Oh, this is nonsense.

39:04Perhaps.

39:05But humor me.

39:10Merci.

39:11Alors, viens, viens, viens.

39:13Madame Farley.

39:14Oh, very well.

39:17Now, one can readily see

39:24that spurt of steam

39:25issuing from the chimney

39:26or pipe

39:26at the eastern end

39:27of the building.

39:28Voila.

39:29All the same.

39:29I don't see where that gets us.

39:32Monsieur Farley

39:33comes to the window.

39:35Yes.

39:36He leans out

39:37to make sure

39:37that the bake

39:38is starting on time.

39:40All right.

39:45And then...

39:47Monsieur Cornworthy

39:55shoots him

39:56and Farley

39:56falls to the floor.

39:59Remember,

40:00there is a blank wall

40:01opposite

40:01so there can be

40:02no witnesses.

40:03Lies.

40:04Ridiculous lies.

40:05All has the appearance

40:07of being above the board,

40:09yes?

40:11Monsieur Tremlett

40:12and the other men

40:13see

40:14Monsieur Cornworthy

40:15go into

40:16Monsieur Farley's room

40:17but rush out again

40:19with the announcement

40:20of Monsieur Farley's suicide.

40:21What they do not,

40:22of course, see

40:22is Monsieur Cornworthy

40:24pressed the gun

40:25into Monsieur Farley's hand.

40:27Slanderous rubbish!

40:31It was Monsieur Cornworthy

40:32who wrote to me the letter.

40:35Monsieur Cornworthy

40:36who gave instructions

40:37to the butler.

40:39It was he

40:39who went up to his bedroom,

40:42applied the make-up

40:43and played the part

40:44of Benedict Farley.

40:46But there were

40:49two people

40:50who carried through

40:50this fraud.

40:53Monsieur Cornworthy

40:54was one

40:54and the other

40:56Madame Farley.

40:59How dare you!

41:02In due course,

41:04the happy ending

41:04would have been achieved.

41:07A quarter of a million pounds

41:08and two hearts

41:10that beat us one.

41:14Hey, please stop him!

41:16Let's go!

41:46Stop him, Herbert! Stop him!

41:58What?

42:00Oh, right.

42:16Well done, sir!

42:35That's Herbert.

42:38I've come to elope. It's still on, is it?

42:42It's not, strictly speaking, necessary anymore.

42:46Oh.

42:47Well, we could do it anyway, though, if you like.

42:51Yes.

42:54What shall I do with him?

43:09I'll deal with him, sir. Thank you very much.

43:12Au revoir, Madame Fali.

43:14You foreigner.

43:16Good afternoon, sir.

43:21Good afternoon, sir.

43:30Good afternoon, sir.

43:47Good afternoon.

43:49Can I assist you in any way, sir?

44:21I'll give you a breather with that.

44:26No, no, no, no, no. Thank you, Hastings.

44:29I'm sure I can manage the last five paces.

44:31Thank you, Hastings.

44:34Mr. Poirot, let me help you.

44:35No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Miss Lemon.

44:42This is for you.

44:45Oh, Mr. Poirot, you shouldn't help.

44:47No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

44:48Nonsense, Miss Lemon.

44:49Hastings, if you please the knife.

44:52Merci.

44:52See?

45:05See you, M. Poirot.

45:09Voila!

45:15Well, what do you think here, Miss Lemon?

45:18It's...

45:19Wonderful.

45:19It's...

45:22Now, we shall have

45:24no more leaning dangerously

45:28out of the window to tell the time.

45:30Yes?

45:30It's just what I wanted.

45:40Hastings,

45:41there are two reasons

45:44why I should never become

45:46the millionaire.

45:48What are they, Poirot?

45:49The first.

45:53That I should never make

45:54the detestable

45:55pork pies, eh?

45:58And the second?

46:02I am too

46:03understanding

46:04towards my employees.

46:09Quite.
