00:24and lady I'm sorry it's not my pigeon I've retired and what is more I'm on
00:45holiday yes I'm sorry about the papers it's damn nuisance they tried to put the brakes on but
01:08someone leaked it good morning darling listen to this Colonel Arthur Bantry squire of the small
01:17village of St Mary Mead has told police that he cannot explain the presence of the murdered
01:22platinum blonde glamorous nightclub chaunters Ruby Keane who was found strangled in the library
01:28of his house Gossington Hall in the early hours of Saturday morning mrs. Bantry it is understood
01:33it has gone away to the seaside I must tell them to Arthur at once heaven knows what he'd be thinking if he reads any of that kind of trash excuse me Henry
01:44have you thought any further oh yes to any conclusion oh yes well are you going to tell me
02:05well whoever killed Ruby Keane killed Pamela Reeve and I'm afraid that very shortly a third murder will be attempted
02:21yes sir the tests were inconclusive I think the rug was probably in the killer's car sir yes I suppose
02:38that's fair enough what did the chap from the yard say about Blake the night watchman saw Blake drive
02:43out of the studio car park at a few minutes to 11 sir that's definite as the cars go past his hut the light
02:49falls on the driver's side he's positive about it and how far did you say it was from the studios to
02:53St Mary Mead 20 miles so we could have done it now we've had corroborated evidence that Blake was at
03:01the studio party at two o'clock as well you mean he could have gone back there to establish his alibi
03:06exactly sir she put her finger on Blake right from the first moment who did sir miss Marple of course
03:16who do you think
03:20slack I retain the impression that you don't really take her seriously
03:30I'll do you in what way sir
03:33let me give you a piece of advice
03:36that old lady is tougher minded more cynical and just plain cleverer than most barristers you'll meet
03:42in what I hope is going to be your long and no doubt distinguished career
03:49excuse me
03:52yes
03:55sir Henry Clithering what downstairs
03:58good morning
04:11miss Marple
04:14oh
04:15good morning mr. Gaskell
04:17good morning
04:18no tennis today mr. Jefferson
04:20no no later on actually
04:22oh of course
04:23but with respect sir Henry we've already taken statements from all Pamela Reeves friends
04:35her friends at school and the girls were at the girl guide rally
04:38but miss Marple's point is that one of them must know more
04:43that the Reeve girl was an average child and that every average child has a special friend in whom she confides
04:50well if that's so you haven't found her have you
04:56no sir I haven't
04:58if that's so
04:59inspector
05:01inspector
05:01I realize this is a great imposition
05:05I know you must have an enormous amount on your plate
05:08nothing we're not abreast of sir
05:10oh no no no no of course not
05:12no I was just going to suggest that if you could organize an afternoon of interviews
05:19perhaps one of your junior officers could preside
05:22and if miss Marple could just be present
05:25very well sir I'll set that up
05:32anything else sir
05:33thank you inspector
05:35keep me informed
05:36good morning sir Henry
05:38good morning inspector
05:55excuse me are you a detective
06:03no no no somebody told me you're a rather important detective from London
06:07I mean the head of Scotland Yard or something
06:10miss Marple
06:11oh sir Henry
06:13well I can see that one person at least is enjoying this horrid business
06:18yes I am rather
06:19I've been sniffing around to see if I could find any clues but I haven't
06:23got a souvenir though
06:25my mother wanted me to chuck it away honestly parents
06:30look at this fingernail you see one of hers
06:34fingernail of the murdered woman
06:37what do you think good isn't it
06:41where did you get it well it was quite lucky really because nobody knew she was going to be murdered then
06:47it was on the night in question you see
06:51Blooby caught a broken nail on Josie's shawl
06:54so my mother cut it for her and told me to chuck it away
06:58I just put it in my pocket to chuck away later and forgot
07:02do you think it's nearly lunchtime I'm very hungry
07:07Josie Josie
07:08hello hello Peter how are you oh good morning Miss Turner is everything all right
07:16I can't leave the hotel reporters they don't care do they I don't leave the building oh dear
07:23anyway better get on
07:27Josie I want to interrogate you how long did you know the deceased
07:31Peter you've been worrying me how to account for her nails
07:37her nails well they were so short a girl like that usually has elegant little claws
07:45but I suppose if she'd torn one then she might have had to clip the others to match I wonder
07:51uh I don't know well I oh there's slack I'll go and ask inspector yes sir Henry
08:05just a detail did you find any nail clippings in the girls room
08:11yes sir whole lot in the waste paper basket oh good thanks um managed to set up the interviews yet
08:22I'm seeing to it now sir I'll let you know
08:29Miss Marple
08:34amateurs
08:37deliver me from amateurs sir not only do we have a retired chief taking a busman's holiday
08:42we now have the flaming attentions of an aging spinster to contend with
08:46give me some straightforward robbery with violence
08:49anything more on Blake yet yes sir quite a lot
09:00gotcha
09:06I don't want it
09:08but sir

09:18I don't want it
09:28edwards
09:32edwards
09:33I don't want it
09:54I don't want it
09:56Oh, Mr. Gaskell.
10:12What's the matter, Edwards?
10:14You look as if the cat just died.
10:15I'm not sure he'd welcome a visit, sir.
10:18What is it today? The glooms or the shouts?
10:20He's refusing his medication, sir.
10:23Well, that's bad.
10:25It's about me trying.
10:26Well, you can try, sir.
10:28Good. You bring it out.
10:31Very well, sir.
10:35Morning, Jeff.
10:39What have you been up to?
10:41Humping furniture?
10:43Five black marks for overdoing it.
10:45I'll go to hell.
10:46Now, Jeff,
10:48I'd like Adelaide to come up and have coffee with you today.
10:50He's a dominating man.
10:59With a sometimes uncontrollable temper.
11:01And his weakness is that he needs people to dominate.
11:06How interesting.
11:08When Frank and I married,
11:11Jeff gave us so much money that Frank had absolutely nothing to strive for.
11:14You see, in a way,
11:16that money was a way of denying Frank the means of becoming himself.
11:23And Jeff knew he wouldn't handle it properly.
11:26Do you rather hate Jeff?
11:27You are extraordinary.
11:29You are extraordinary.
11:30No.
11:33He is selfish.
11:34He's a collector of souls,
11:36but he loved Rosamund and Frank.
11:40He lives his life on thin ice.
11:42I mean, he could die at any moment.
11:44No, I don't hate him.
11:45I think it's time I was independent of him.
11:50You're going to get married again.
11:52What fun.
11:54How is dear old Hugo?
11:57Yes, he wants to marry me.
11:58I suppose that's what you wanted to know, wasn't it?
12:01Anyway, I haven't accepted.
12:08Forgive my asking, Mrs. Jefferson,
12:10but I wonder, did you like this poor dead girl who became?
12:13She was a vulgar, gold-digging simpleton.
12:17I didn't like her, no.
12:20When I discovered what she was up to,
12:22I was very angry.
12:24I could have killed her.
12:26Adelaide.
12:27For God's sake.
12:32Hello, Hugo.
12:35Right.
12:36So, we know that Blake left the studios and returned,
12:40giving him time to carry out one or both murders.
12:44We've established his presence in Danemouth
12:46on three separate occasions
12:47and his presence at the Majestic at least once.
12:51We've established that he knew Ruby Key.
12:55Blake lied about when he left the studio party.
12:58Lied about being at the Majestic.
13:00I think it's time we had a look at Mr. Blake's car,
13:03don't you?
13:04Tell Blake we need a statement, just routine.
13:06We can have a shifty in his automobile while he's making it.
13:09Have you set up those interviews with the school girls?
13:10Oh, yes, sir.
13:11All the girls in Pamela Rees' form are also in the girl guides.
13:14Right.
13:15What about the financial inquiry?
13:16Sir?
13:17Mrs. Jefferson and Mr. Gaskell.
13:18Oh, yes, sir.
13:18They're both hired up, matter of fact.
13:20Gaskell's in debt, quite a packet,
13:21but I thought we'd drop them.
13:22Cast-iron alibis.
13:24A hundred thousand green ones is as good a motive as you'll get,
13:27but it won't wash in this case.
13:29Now, I think we'll have a look at Mr. Blake's car.
13:31Four-hand, Adelaide, nice and easy.
13:41Good girl, keep those legs back.
13:43Four-hand.
13:45Oh, I can't get them.
13:47Uh-huh.
13:49Turn your legs.
13:50Yes, watch that.
13:52Follow through.
13:53Good girl.
13:55Turn your knees.
13:56Good girl.
13:58Up.
14:01Adelaide, lovely.
14:06What's your grip?
14:12Adelaide, I'll show you.
14:14It's the grip you sense to feel.
14:16Now, relax.
14:17I'm not going to eat you.
14:26You see, fork the thumb there, on there,
14:29and grip it nice and tight.
14:30Oh, I see.
14:32I see.
14:33Good girl.
14:34Good job.
14:35Good job.
14:35Good job.
14:35Good job.
14:36Good job.
14:36Good job.
14:37Keeps going.
14:38Right there, John.
14:39All right?
14:40Good girl.
14:41Good girl.
14:41Good girl.
14:45I think we've got you down for 11.30 tomorrow,
14:49is that all right?
14:51Fine, Ray.
14:53See you then.
14:54I'm improving, don't you think?
15:06Yeah.
15:08Oh, Hugo, stop it so grumpy.
15:16Ray.
15:17Ah, Mrs. Comperton, on time as usual.
15:19Yes.
15:20Off you go, then.
15:22That fellow damn nearly...
15:25I just don't damn well like it, that's all.
15:28Oh, Hugo, stop stuffing your shirt.
15:31Oh, I can't help how I feel, Adelaide.
15:33It's the way I am.
15:35I told them I'm more to you.
15:36Did you know that Hugo McLean was staying over at Dainbury Head when all this happened?
15:43Hadn't far to come when he was summoned, had he?
15:47What a coincidence.
15:50Isn't it?
15:54Yes, Inspector.
15:55I know where you are.
15:58Just off Castle Street.
16:01Not at all.
16:03I'll drive over to HQ this afternoon.
16:16Just routine.
16:19I mean, the police were bound to want to question me.
16:25What's going on, Blake?
16:29Blake?
16:33I've got something to tell you, dearly.
16:36All right, Griselda.
16:38Thank you, dear.
16:51I must go back to Gossington.
16:54Griselda says that people are saying that I left because I couldn't bear the shame of it.
16:59That must mean that they think I believe all the horrible things they're saying.
17:06I'll keep this sweet on, Jane.
17:10You will stay, won't you, and clear this thing up.
17:12Oh, Jane, you're so clever.
17:16Why haven't you solved this mystery by now?
17:19We don't seem to be getting on at all.
17:21I thought you'd know at once.
17:23Oh, dear.
17:24I didn't know at once.
17:27Not for some time.
17:29What?
17:33You mean you know now who killed Ruby Key?
17:37Oh, yes.
17:38Yes, I know that.
17:41It's a question of the others.
17:43Who else, you see?
17:44Jane, you're not to tease me.
17:49You're to tell me at once who it is and what you mean.
17:52Oh, no, that would never do at all, Dolly, dear.
17:55Why wouldn't it do?
17:56Because you're so indiscreet.
17:58Go around telling everyone.
18:00Or at least hinting.
18:03No, no, there's a long way to go yet.
18:05Great many things that are still quite obscure.
18:07Take it round about to the space deck.
18:17Right here.
18:37Okay, let's start at the back of the car.
18:44Slack says ten minutes.
18:45He means five.
18:46Right, sir.
18:55Quite frankly, Sir Henry,
18:57once he got over his grief,
19:00if he ever did, that is,
19:02the one thing that keeps Mr. Jefferson alive
19:04is his anger.
19:05Anger against the gods is what I call it.
19:10He'll go down fighting.
19:12Did any particular things make him angry?
19:15Oh, inefficiency,
19:17time wasters,
19:19the petrol shortage,
19:20anything that prevents him from getting on.
19:24Deceit.
19:27Yes.
19:29Deceit.
19:32May I be frank, Sir Henry?
19:34Please do.
19:36There was an incident.
19:39You see, sir,
19:40the young woman that Mr. Jefferson
19:41was so taken up with
19:43just wasn't worth it.
19:46She was, to put it bluntly,
19:47a common little piece.
19:50I don't think she particularly liked him even.
19:52It was one afternoon
19:56about a week ago
19:58when I was keen
20:01as with Mr. Jefferson.
20:03You'll never believe it.
20:04It was the same landlady
20:06as had the dog in Huddersfield.
20:08the stinking cat.
20:10Ah, ha, ha, ha.
20:12Shoot, lose.
20:17Are you all right, Jeff?
20:19Spack of dust.
20:20Don't do that!
20:22Worst thing you can do.
20:24Here, let me.
20:26now come on be a brave boy and open it come that's it look up look up
20:38come on you little beggar there got you someone's been sweeping their chimney
20:49what's this from your handbag what is this who is it search me Jeff it's not mine
21:03what kitten has just fallen out of your handbag what I don't see how it could have
21:09I'll be true sweet Ruby rule to you to you can I look at it please Jeff I don't know I'm not sure
21:28now kitten oh I know who it is he comes here sometimes I've danced with him he says he's
21:38in films or something 24 karat nutcase he is silly idiot must have stuffed his photo in my bag
21:45honestly Jeff those boys are so stupid they're always Nicky my picky from the showcase in the
21:51foyer always was Nicky my picky course Nicky my picky I don't think mr. Jefferson quite believed
22:11that he was on edge all that day completely lost his temper in the afternoon with his broker on the
22:20phone all things returned to normal of course but I fancy he was more watchful of her from then on
22:27he asked her more questions about what she was doing did you see the photograph no sir what do you
22:37think he would have done had he discovered she had a secret lover quite honestly sir I think in his
22:46state of health I think it would have finished him thanks very much for coming in then sir glad to
22:57have been of some helping I hope you don't feel you've wasted your time not at all forensic lab
23:07drive carefully then sir cheerio inspector
23:14now you will tell the inspector about the dress won't you this is Ruby Keane's dress we're talking about isn't it
23:42of course the idea is isn't it that she changed her dress and then went off to meet someone a man it
23:50may be supposed that is the general impression but it won't do if Ruby was going to wear the kind of
23:56dress she was wearing then she'd make sure it was her best one girls do then why didn't she now that
24:05meet is the key to the whole business good I think that's all the questions I've got for you now thank
24:20you Jenny
24:50I've interviewed all six girls Miss Marple I really don't think yes yes I should like to speak to
24:58Flory small did you notice her she went out she relaxed too soon
25:03Flory small Flory small it's all right we just won't have another word with you
25:19I think it'll be okay you're sure then Flory are you that you've told us everything
25:46I'd rather hear you say it out loud Flory
25:52yes
25:56you must be a brave girl and make a clean breast of things
26:02Flory small if you refuse to tell us what you know it will be a very serious matter indeed
26:12very serious practically perjury and for that as you know you can be sent to prison
26:20no now Florence don't eradicate tell me everything you know at once
26:28Pamela was not going to Woolworths was she
26:32something to do with films wasn't it
26:37wasn't it Flory
26:42yes
26:45yes it was
26:47oh Miss I've been ever so worried
26:50I can't tell you
26:52I've hardly eaten a thing
26:55it's been horrible
26:56you see I promised poor Pammy
27:00promised
27:01all Edwards could tell me was that Ruby Keane referred to the chap in the photograph
27:08as something to do with films
27:11Blake again
27:12Blake is Inspector Slack's favourite
27:14he lied about his movements on the night of the crime
27:18and now we found some hairs on the upholstery of his car
27:20we're having them checked against those we found on Ruby Keane's dress
27:23ah now talking about this dress
27:26there's something I should like to suggest
27:29yes
27:29look here Melchard you don't think I'm interfering do you
27:34I suspect you're going to talk about Miss Marple again aren't you
27:38all right
27:39what did she ask you to tell me
27:42well it's about the girl's dress
27:44but we've been
27:45Miss Marple says
27:46it's the key to the whole business
27:49now Flori take your time dear
27:55and tell us what Pammy told you
27:57it's when we were walking up the lane to the bus
28:01on the way to the rally
28:03but she told me
28:06Pammy asked me if I could keep a secret
28:09well can you
28:11of course I can
28:12swear it
28:13I swear
28:14promise Pammy I won't tell
28:16do you remember when we went shopping last time
28:20yes
28:20I didn't only do that
28:23I met a man
28:24Pammy
28:25oh it's all right

28:27what then
28:28oh you picked me up all right on the front
28:31just started talking to me
28:33what about
28:34three guesses what I'm going to do after the rally this afternoon
28:38Pammy you're not
28:41not that dope
28:43give up
28:44film test
28:45I'm going to be tested for a film
28:48get off

28:51he's told me I mustn't be disappointed
28:53he's looking for a particular type he says
28:56and he won't be able to tell until he sees me on film
28:59but Pammy
29:00how do you know
29:01well you know
29:02that all he was terribly businesslike
29:04if there was a contract
29:05he'd reckon my parents should get a solicitor to look at it
29:08and I'm going to be chaperoned at the test
29:12a woman will be there all the time to help me
29:15someone who really knows what's happening
29:18oh Pammy that's amazing
29:20and where was Pamela supposed to meet him
29:22at his hotel
29:26you don't know which one
29:28no she didn't say
29:31and where was this supposed film test to take place
29:36he said they had a small studio in Danemouth

30:12it would be ordinary police work
30:13that had cracked this one sir

30:22barrister-proof by morning
30:24then we'll pull Blake in
30:25once we've got a charge that sticks
30:28I'll get the second murder out of him easily
30:30I wouldn't be too sure about that
30:33why do you say that sir
30:34well I checked him out a bit myself you know
30:36he was a conscientious objector during the war
30:38that'd be par for the course

31:43the needlework guild
31:44the bishop's appeal for deep sea fishermen
31:46what are you
31:48boy scouts or unmarried mothers
31:50all right
31:53don't answer that
31:55you've only come to look around
31:57I've taken to giving conducted tours
31:59and charging a couple of bob
32:00where would you like to start
32:02the kitchen
32:04I came to offer you some advice
32:08oh my god
32:10the league of decency
32:11which I hope might help
32:13in the difficult time ahead
32:14what are you talking about
32:16I want to advise you most strongly
32:19not to continue using your maiden name in the village
32:22in a short while
32:24you'll need all the goodwill you can find
32:26and there's a prejudice in old-fashioned country places
32:29against people who are not married
32:31living together
32:32oh it's amused you no doubt
32:35calling yourself Miss Lee
32:36when you are in fact Mrs. Blake
32:37and it has helped to keep all
32:40but the most curious
32:42at a distance
32:43but the time for such games
32:46is over
32:47how did you know we were married
32:53oh my dear
32:54the way you quarrel
32:56you quarrel like people
32:58who are tied to each other
32:59by more than a mere love affair
33:00you see
33:01you're astonishing
33:02I thought you'd been to Somerset House or something
33:05oh
33:07Somerset House
33:10and the rest of it
33:17I'm so sorry
33:19why are we going to need all this sympathy
33:21because almost certainly
33:25sometime today
33:26your husband will be arrested for murder
33:29but he didn't do it
33:30I know he didn't dear
33:31I know
33:32but that's not the point now
33:33I'm glad he's told you about it
33:35he shouldn't have got rid of the rug
33:38what did he do with it
33:39I burnt it
33:40but you didn't clear up properly
33:49look
33:51that would be enough
33:53and your car
33:57how thorough are you
33:59car
34:04not cut out for this am I
34:09how much do you know
34:12I should like to know more
34:15all right
34:16I'll tell you
34:18Dinah and I had a row
34:20I left the studio party early
34:22the truth is I'd had a skinful
34:24we'll gather lilacs
34:28in the spring again
34:32and walk together
34:36down an English lane
34:40then
34:46the

34:53the
35:01the
35:02the
35:03the
35:03the
35:05the
35:06hello a visitor by my troth
35:28wake up
35:36I suppose I panicked I just knew I had to get her out of the house
36:06I had no idea where I was going
36:13I just drove and drove
36:21and I found myself going past Gossington Hall
36:37suddenly that seemed to be the answer
36:43that seemed to be the answer
37:13that was until the house I came back
37:16I had no idea how to do it
37:19I had no idea how to do it
37:22but I got no idea how to wait
37:25I felt the house
37:28and I had no idea how to do it
37:31I was going to go
37:34to a storage space
37:39It sounds like madness, I know, but I thought it was rather a good joke.
38:06Bantry can be an appallingly pompous ass, you know.
38:12It seems so wonderfully incongruous, a girl like that, his library.
38:20It's a cruel trick.
38:22I know.
38:24But didn't you know who it was?
38:27No.
38:28I hardly knew Ruby Keane.
38:31And the face was...
38:33Yes, yes.
38:34What are we going to do about this, Blake?
38:38Well, may I suggest that you engage the very best of lawyers?
38:43The police.
38:44I won't be a moment, Inge.
38:45Yes, ma'am.
38:46Jane, thank goodness you're here.
38:49We've been trying to get in touch with you all morning.
38:50Come in.
38:51Oh, I can't stay, Dolly.
38:52But I thought I'd better bring you the news.
38:53News?
39:24I've been arrested for the murder of Ruby Keane.
39:26Blake?
39:27He didn't do it.
39:29How do you know?
39:30He did however deposit the body in your library.
39:33Well, like Tommy Bond and his frog, he resented his teacher.
39:38So he put his frog in her clock and it jumped out at her.
39:41Blake?
39:42In my library?
39:43What on earth did he do that for?
39:45I think he did it as a kind of joke.
39:48What?
39:49Well, of course, he was drunk.
39:51Oh, was he?
39:53So that was it.
39:55Ah, well.
39:56Who did do it then?
39:58Well, I think the answer to that lies in London.
40:01Yes, now, London.
40:03Inge, if we hurry, we can catch the ten o'clock.
40:05Come on.
40:15I'm not sure you should be seen with me, old man.
40:18Oh?
40:19How's that?
40:20Suspect number one.
40:21Top of the list.
40:22Oh, come off it, Gaskell.
40:24What is it?
40:25There's certainly somebody I don't want to be seen with.
40:28Excuse me to the King of Wimbledon, will you?
40:32Not the subtlest of human beings, is he?
40:34I don't know why he has to be so bloody rude about it.
40:37Hardly spoken to the man.
40:39What are you drinking?
40:41Look here, Star.
40:42I think there's something you should understand about Adelaide.
40:45What's that?
40:46Well, you do realise that Adelaide believes in the code of the Jeffersons, don't you?
40:50What does that mean?
40:52Well, it just means that true Jeffersons aren't in the habit of marrying tennis players, old boy.
40:58That's all.
41:00Another whisky, please.
41:03Good afternoon, Ray.
41:06Afternoon, Ray.
41:15Ray?
41:16What is it, Ray?
41:17Mr. Jefferson is expecting you.
41:34Right.
41:35I'm off then.
41:36Lucky you.
41:37Pine Pine down the local.
41:39Not a hope.
41:40Back to HQ.
41:41Another session with Blake.
41:42Stubborn, isn't he?
41:43By midnight.
41:44One confession signed and sealed.
41:46Do you want a bet?
41:47Slack?
41:48I wonder if we could have a word.
41:51Of course, sir.
41:52Miss Marple.
41:53Oh, do you think...
41:54Yes.
41:55Yes.
41:56Yes.
41:57I've just returned from London.
41:58Somerset House, you know.
41:59And I just thought perhaps...
42:00At our request, Conway Jefferson has informed Mrs. Jefferson and Mr. Gaskell that as Ruby Keane is dead, he's going to endow a fund with the hundred thousand pounds that he had intended to settle on her.
42:14The fund is to be used to establish a hostel for young dancers in London.
42:31That's right.
42:32Yes.
42:33He has also told them that he's going to finalize the details with his solicitor tomorrow.
42:38Now, this is what I want done.
42:41It'll be dark in a couple of hours, so we've got to move quickly.
43:11I don't know.
43:13Sure time to setzen.
43:17Let's go.
43:47Let's go.
44:17Oh, George, put that in the boot for me, will you?
44:27Good man.
44:29Mary, cancel breakfast for me tomorrow, will you?
44:31I'm motoring to town.
44:34Oh, I'm frightfully sorry.
44:36Oh, if anybody should want me tonight, they can ring me at my flat.
44:40I'm in the book.
44:40Be back about lunchtime tomorrow.
44:41All right.
44:42All right.
44:42All right.
45:12All right.
45:51Flick it.
45:52Three o'clock, man, call.
45:53Oh, come on.
46:06Let's go.
46:36Oh, my God.
47:06Oh, my God.
47:24This is Gaskell, I presume.
47:36I'm sure you did it.
47:50Now, Jeff, before the Jeffersons and the Blakes get here, you've absolutely got to tell us how you did it.
47:57Oh, yes, please do, my dear.
47:59I'm afraid I don't understand at all.
48:01What about you, Milchard?
48:02Well, yes, but I think Miss Bartle should explain.
48:04Well, there are two things I'm not quite clear about.
48:08Well, I'm afraid you'll find my methods terribly amateurish.
48:12Now, hush, everyone.
48:15Jane, you must tell us.
48:17Good.
48:19Good.
48:20I couldn't get away from that 100,000 pounds.
48:23That, I felt, was the key to it.
48:25But whether it was Mrs. Jefferson or Mr. Gaskell eluded me.
48:29They both had solid alibis.
48:31And it wasn't till Dinah Lee mentioned Somerset House marriage.
48:35Of course.
48:36And as we since discovered, Mark Gaskell was married to Josie Turner.
48:42And they were keeping it a secret until Mr. Jefferson should die, which they hoped might be soon.
48:48Do you see?
48:49No, Miss Marple, I'm afraid I don't.
48:52Hardly a thing.
48:53Well, of course, it was the nails that worried me.
48:56Although Ruby Keane had cut hers quite short, the poor girl in the library had bitten hers.
49:03It just wasn't right.
49:05Too like a book to be true.
49:07And then, of course, I realized finally that the body in the library wasn't Ruby Keane at all.
49:15Well, then whose body was it?
49:17Pamela Reeves.
49:19And Pamela Reeves, fake film producer, was Mark Gaskell?
49:23Yes.
49:24But the person behind it all was Josie.
49:27It was obvious from the first that she was a very capable woman.
49:31Quite capable of engineering the whole thing.
49:34It was a very clear-sighted plan.
49:37And quite remorseless.
49:39Mark Gaskell was her ticket for wealth and a good position.
49:43And nothing, certainly not little Ruby Keane, was going to stop her.
49:47It was all her own idea, the double murder and the substitute body.
49:52And she cold-bloodedly chose Basil Blake as chief murder suspect.
49:57She put his snapshot into Ruby's handbag.
50:00She mentioned this film bloke to the police.
50:04And, of course, she was poor little Pamela's so-called chaperone for the film test.
50:09She bleached her hair.
50:11Painted her bitten nails.
50:13Made her up as Ruby Keane.
50:15Put her into one of Ruby's dresses.
50:17And finally drugged her.
50:19Ready for the deadly attentions of Mark Gaskell.
50:22Who then completed the plan by getting her out to Blake's cottage shortly after 10 o'clock.
50:28Killing her and getting back to the hotel.
50:30So, at the time when the doctor said that she'd died,
50:34Gaskell and Josie had a perfect alibi.
50:37They were sitting there, playing bridge, watching the real Ruby Keane alive and dancing.
50:41After giving Ruby something earlier in the evening to make her head achy and sleepy,
50:45Josie told her then to go up to her, that is Josie's room, and lie down till her next dance.
50:51Knowing that the drug would shortly have full effect.
50:55It was when she went up to change for her exhibition dance,
50:59that Josie killed her.
51:01She strangled the poor child in her sleep.
51:05And later that evening,
51:07she and Gaskell dressed her in the guide's uniform,
51:10stole Bartlett's car, drove out to Venn's quarry, and incinerated the lot.
51:15Tell me, that tune that was racketing around in your head
51:20Mozart, didn't you say?
51:22What bearing did that have on the case?
51:24Oh, oh yes.
51:26Oh yes, most interesting.
51:28The marriage of Figaro, Susanna's aria.
51:30It was because Susanna was dressed up as the Countess.
51:34It was the wrong dress.
51:37That's all.
51:38So it all boils down to fingernails and Mozart.
51:42Yes, quite.
51:44It was alright.
51:45It was a time that's a hangover.
51:46It was just a bit funny.
51:48It was someplace that shops from the night.
51:49treating some littleellen and horror chairs are great,
51:53Once he didn't 7 prank x chat this night.
51:54Yes, it wasommen of some kind.
51:55The night.
51:56The night.
51:57The night.
51:58I should see.
51:59Anybody without dating.
52:00The.
52:01See.
52:02Tonight.
52:03This is a young man.
52:04I can.
52:05You may Machete.
52:06You may react to one of the night.
52:07And the night.
52:08With respect.
