00:00So, after Victoria gave you back the bottle of pills, you returned to your cottage to
00:22change.
00:25You and your wife were there together until you went over to dinner, where you remained
00:31until the discovery of the murder.
00:33That is 100% correct.
00:36Very well, sir.
00:37We'll get it typed up and have you sign it later.
00:40Boy, you do a real good job.
00:42I still get time for my swim.
00:53Good morning, Miss Marple.
00:54He's in a good mood today.
00:55I don't know why.
00:56The place is in chaos.
00:57We've been asked not to leave the hotel grounds.
00:58Did you know?
00:59Stop bellyaching and get on with your work, woman.
01:08I think that means he'd like me to leave you to speak to him alone.
01:18You think Major Palgrave was done in, don't you?
01:21I very much fear so.
01:23That's what the police fear.
01:26They've had him dug up.
01:28Really?
01:29Don't you want to know why?
01:32Well, yes, indeed.
01:35Because the bottle of tablets found in his room, blood pressure tablets, wasn't his.
01:44But whose were they?
01:47Dyson's.
01:48I see.
01:49Well, how do you know all this?
01:53I've had a word with the administrator, Napier.
01:57He wants this matter cleared up.
02:00Last thing, he wants a bit of limelight.
02:02He might have to make a report.
02:05He might even have to do a bit of work.
02:08The question is, the question is, why would anybody want to kill a boring old fool like
02:17Palgrave?
02:18Because the day before he died, he thought he'd identified a murderer here in the hotel.
02:28Thank you, Mr. Dyson.
02:29That about all?
02:31Almost all.
02:33Tell me, Mr. Dyson, why do you think Victoria bothered to give you back that pill bottle
02:37personally?
02:38I thought I might give her some money.
02:42Why?
02:43Probably thought I might be worried about them being found in a dead man's room.
02:48But you say in your statement that she implied she knew who had put the pills in Major Palgrave's
02:53room.
02:54Mm-hmm.
02:55If she did, surely you can't be implicated.
02:59I guess not.
03:00Unless, of course, it was you who put them there.
03:05Inspector, I'm trying to be cooperative in this case.
03:12So why don't you just hold up on the stupid remarks?
03:16Major Palgrave was once in the colonial police.
03:19Did you know that?
03:21No.
03:22Ever been to St. Kitts or Nevis, Mr. Dyson?
03:26Yeah.
03:27They're beautiful islands, I believe.
03:30Were you there on one of your expeditions?
03:33Yeah.
03:34Ed Hillington found a new butterfly, subspecies Pileus lampidae.
03:39It's subspecies Pileus lampidae diacini in the textbooks now.
03:43He named it after me.
03:46When was this?
03:47What year?
03:481948.
03:49I see.
03:50Then what exactly is it that you do see?
03:57Major Palgrave was seconded to the St. Kitts Nevis force from 1947 to 1950.
04:03That's all.
04:05I'm sure it's not important.
04:08This doesn't make sense.
04:12How can Palgrave be sure just from that one old snapshot?
04:15Well, he couldn't be sure, but afterwards he could have studied it and made sure.
04:22The point is, Major Palgrave was on my left.
04:26Whoever he saw, he saw over my right shoulder.
04:30Who does that include?
04:31The Hillingdons, the Dysons, possibly Jackson.
04:37Is that all?
04:39Well, possibly yourself.
04:40Don't be like that.
04:43Still doesn't make sense.
04:47Why did Palgrave wait until then before identifying the bloke?
04:53Presumably he'd seen him waltzing around for the best part of a week.
04:56The major may not have looked at that photograph for years.
04:59It was always the story that counted.
05:02This time he took a longer than usual glance at it and there was something familiar about
05:07it.
05:08Then he looked up and saw the same face coming towards him.
05:15Even supposing our bloke was the murderer, he'd laugh it off.
05:20There's no evidence.
05:22An old snapshot and a spot of gossip, he'd laugh it off.
05:28There'd be no need to murder the old sleeping tablet.
05:33There might be a very powerful motive if, if, if, if there was going to be another murder.
05:39There's already been another murder.
05:42No, I mean another murder.
05:45Another murder?
05:46How many do you want?
05:47I'm serious, Mr. Raphael.
05:49If another murder was planned, then the major might have been a disastrous nuisance if he
05:55kept on telling people of a previous murder that was much the same.
05:59Much the same as what?
06:01He was telling me about a man whose wife died in suspicious circumstances.
06:05Oh, I see.
06:08Well I hope you do because you're the only one who can prevent it happening.
06:12Me?
06:13Yes, certainly.
06:14I'm out of my depth here.
06:15People would listen to you but they'd think I was an old lady imagining things.
06:19To hear your usual line of talk, anyone would think you got knitted for brains.
06:25You've got a logical mind, plus a sense of judgment and proportion.
06:31I like that.
06:32I'm beginning to find you quite interesting.
06:35Are you?
06:37Right, let's not waste time.
06:40Who are we looking at?
06:43My fellow Jackson, Greg Dyson and this bloke Edward Hillingdon.
06:50It's got to be one of them, hasn't it?
06:54Oh, I see.
06:59Yes, I wonder.
07:24What?
07:25Well, it just occurred to me that I might be wrong.
07:37Don't let me down.
07:39I've got you mocked up as being in possession of brains.
07:42Well, I think I'm right about the murder, but it's the murderer that's the problem.
07:47What about him?
07:48Well, that's just the point.
07:49What is?
07:50It might not be a him, it might be a her.
07:54What?
07:55Major Palgrave's style of telling stories was such that one didn't really listen to
07:59them, but I have a nagging memory that at one point he referred to Lucretia Borgia,
08:04whom I presume he realised was female.
08:07Knitting.
08:08Do you remember any of his stories?
08:12Mm.
08:13Not a word, but I wasn't daft enough to listen in the first place.
08:18Ask her.
08:19Ask me what?
08:22Major Palgrave, his stories.
08:24Did he ever tell you one about a murderer?
08:27Yes, he did.
08:28I didn't listen much, they were rather boring.
08:31The one about the lion or something in Rhodesia went on forever.
08:34The one about a murderer?
08:36Well, I think he said he'd met one.
08:39Yes?
08:40He did talk a lot about Lucretia Borgia and poison being a woman's weapon.
08:45Rather a lot of cliches like that.
08:47I don't really remember.
08:49Where are you going?
08:51You give me far too much to think about, Mr Ruffield, to bother my head with that sort of thing.
08:56Did you hear that?
08:57That's what I like to see in a woman, loaded to the roof with common sense.
09:01I wonder very much sometimes whether I am.
09:08So, it's back to square one.
09:11Well, hardly that.
09:13Major Palgrave was poisoned and it might have been a woman.
09:16There are further suspects, that's all.
09:20No, no, it won't do.
09:22I mean, this is just old-fashioned plain and purl, isn't it?
09:25Dunno if I'll be going to bump off the missus or ask about face.
09:30It won't do.
09:32Knitted porridge.
09:34I'm sorry.
09:38Then you won't help.
09:40How can I?
09:43I realise that this must seem quite unbelievable to you.
09:46But may I draw your attention to the fact that there are two people who should be alive who are now dead.
09:52Good day, Mr Ruffield.
10:00Yes, I went along the balustrade almost as far as the arch and called.
10:07She doesn't usually go far.
10:10How do you know, Mr Hillingdon?
10:12Molly is a very pretty girl, Inspector.
10:15You notice where she is.
10:17She goes for these strolls after she's finished with dinner
10:22and she doesn't usually seem to be gone long.
10:26I see.
10:31Go on.
10:34Well, er, she didn't reply.
10:37So I set off up the beach.
10:40In the wrong direction, as it happens.
10:42Have you ever been to St Kitts or Nevis, Mr Hillingdon?
10:45Oh, yes. That's where I found Nypelia subspecies.
10:48In the company of Mr Dyson and his wife?
10:50That's right.
10:51Which wife?
10:52What?
10:54I'm sorry, I don't understand.
10:56Mr Dyson's first wife who died or his present wife?
11:00Oh, that's what you mean.
11:03Um...
11:05I suppose when we first went there, Mary was...
11:11Um...
11:13Would have been still alive, yes.
11:17She was very ill.
11:19Lucky was nursing her by then.
11:23Wasn't she?
11:25Yes.
11:27Yes, she would have been.
11:29What did the first Mrs Dyson die of?
11:31Cancer.
11:32You're sure of that?
11:34Yes, of course. What do you mean?
11:36Just my curiosity.
11:43We'll type up your statement, Mr Hillingdon,
11:46if you could drop by later to sign it.
11:52Oh, by the way, Mr Hillingdon,
11:55how long after Mrs Dyson's death
11:57did Mr Dyson marry his present wife?
12:01I don't know.
12:03I forget.
12:05Some months.
12:07Some months.
12:11Are you feeling better?
12:13I'm all right again.
12:15I'm very glad to hear it, Mrs Kendall.
12:17Are you sure you're up to this, darling?
12:19Yes, Tim, I am.
12:21All right.
12:23Do you mind if we sit down?
12:26No.
12:28Here you go.
12:32Now, Mrs Kendall,
12:34I'd like for you to tell me
12:36in as much detail as you can remember
12:39what happened after you'd done
12:41serving dinner last night.
12:46He asked me about some kids.
12:48Oh.
12:50He asked me about some kids.
12:53Well?
12:57He asked you about Mary's death, did he?
13:00Did he?
13:02Yes.
13:04Well?
13:10At least he didn't ask you about Lucky.
13:15You've known all about it from the start, haven't you?
13:18Of course.
13:22I thought a home for the boys was more important
13:24than my feelings on the subject.
13:26What about Greg?
13:28He knows.
13:31Even if he pretends he doesn't.
13:35What are you going to do?
13:37What are you going to do?
13:43I think I knew she was dead.
13:45Because when I tried to lift her,
13:48she wasn't quite warm enough,
13:50if you know what I mean.
13:55I called for help,
13:57but the music was still playing.
14:02I couldn't lift her,
14:04so I...
14:06I put my arms underneath her.
14:10I remember being surprised at feelings I'd never felt before.
14:13I remember being surprised at feeling something so hard.
14:19I think I thought it was part of her belt.
14:22But...
14:25when I lifted her up,
14:27I realised it wasn't.
14:30It was the knife.
14:35I was lifting her on the knife that was sticking in her.
14:38And then it came out.
14:44I don't remember anything else.
14:48What sort of knife was it?
14:52You have got it, haven't you?
14:56You haven't lost it.
14:59It's very important.
15:01No, we haven't lost it.
15:04It's just...
15:07We haven't lost it.
15:09I wanted you to describe it.
15:15It was...
15:17small.
15:19Like a kitchen knife.
15:22I wasn't looking at it!
15:28All right. All right.
15:31We think Victoria was killed
15:33because she saw someone in Major Palgrave's bungalow.
15:36Someone who shouldn't have been there.
15:39Major Palgrave?
15:41Did Victoria tell you about seeing someone in his cottage?
15:44No.
15:47I don't understand.
15:51What's this got to do with...
15:54He's dead.
15:58I never liked him anyway.
16:00Even if he was a half-blind, common little man.
16:06Now he's going to ruin us.
16:10Everybody will be booking out.
16:13They'll say it's the food. Talk to Graham.
16:17You will tell everyone it's not our fault, won't you?
16:21You will tell them it's not the food.
16:36You will tell them it's not the food.
16:39You will tell them it's not the food.
16:42You will tell them it's not the food.
16:45You will tell them it's not the food.
16:48You will tell them it's not the food.
16:51You will tell them it's not the food.
16:54You will tell them it's not the food.
16:57You will tell them it's not the food.
17:00You will tell them it's not the food.
17:03You will tell them it's not the food.
17:06Yes, the stabbing is consistent with the use of this.
17:10It's sharp, but not extremely sharp.
17:13We find a very ragged wound opening up the carotid artery.
17:17And then a fairly crude puncture
17:20to penetrate below the ribs to the aortic chamber.
17:24Most of the damage was done to the thorax
17:27when it was ripped out again, a ragged lateral tear.
17:31Your chaps have taken some perfectly satisfactory photographs.
17:34Thank you, Dr. Lyddiard.
17:37Would a woman be strong enough to inflict these wounds?
17:40Oh, sure, provided she were youngish and reasonably fit.
17:46And what about Major Palgrave?
17:48Did you find anything?
17:50Yes.
17:52Most interesting.
17:54But what put you onto it?
17:56Dr. Graham wasn't happy.
17:58And then a bottle of tablets showed up where they shouldn't have.
18:01Well, it was clover into a smelter rat.
18:05Yes, the old chap was poisoned all right.
18:08Yet it would have looked just like excessive alcohol
18:11and cardiac infarction.
18:13Very neat.
18:18We have reason to believe that Major Palgrave
18:21had evidence proving that your husband's first wife
18:25didn't die of natural causes.
18:26What is a natural death?
18:29Have you ever nursed someone dying of cancer?
18:33What is this?
18:35Some kind of threat?
18:37I don't make threats, Mrs. Dyson.
18:40I follow lines of inquiry.
18:42One of them is,
18:44your husband stood to inherit his wife's fortune
18:47and that you and he,
18:49knowing his wife's doctor was incompetent,
18:52conspired to disobey him.
18:53His doctor was incompetent,
18:55conspired to disguise her illness as fatal.
18:58Well, I don't know who you've been talking to.
19:01Why don't you bring them here
19:03and let them try and tell me this crap to my face?
19:06Have you any idea what it's like
19:08to feel for someone dying like that?
19:10The only help you've got is a doctor
19:12who's out of his head from breakfast to Christmas.
19:16And Greg, well...
19:19Greg was useless.
19:20He couldn't believe life was doing this to him.
19:23Mary was his bright angel.
19:25She could do no wrong in his eyes.
19:28Except for this.
19:30Except die like this.
19:34Now, if you're asking me
19:36if I administered a fatal dose of morphine
19:39to Mary the day she died,
19:41I'll give you an answer.
19:43I'd like that, Mrs. Dyson.
19:46Did you?
19:47Did you?
19:49Inspector, I neither know nor care.
19:54Her liver and kidneys were going.
19:56She weighed about...
19:5880 pounds.
20:01She was yellow with it.
20:03And quite frankly,
20:05I couldn't stand her pain.
20:07So I don't know what she was doing with it.
20:10She looked peaceful
20:12for the few hours before she went.
20:13And if you want to prosecute me
20:15for bringing that about,
20:17you're welcome.
20:20Because I'm proud of it.
20:24No.
20:26I don't think I want to do that,
20:28Mrs. Dyson.
20:29I don't think I want to do that,
20:31Mrs. Dyson.
20:59I promised Tim I'd be with Molly.
21:01Oh, yes.
21:03That'll be a great comfort to her.
21:05Doesn't want her dwelling on things he says,
21:07which is what she should do, of course.
21:09I mean, talk about it.
21:11Oh, yes.
21:13That's right.
21:15What have you been suffering for?
21:17I've been suffering
21:19for a long time.
21:21I've been suffering
21:23for a long time.
21:25I've been suffering
21:27for a long time.
21:29I've complained to them.
21:31Who?
21:34The police.
21:36Who do you think?
21:38They've been grilling me
21:40as if I'd murdered Mary.
21:42I told them that you were the reincarnation
21:44of Florence Nightingale, as a matter of fact.
21:46You'd have been proud.
21:48Then why did they think I killed her?
21:50God knows.
21:52Perhaps they realised it had to be the truth.
21:54You did kill her after all.
21:56Don't you ever
21:57let me hear you say that again.
22:05Why do you think I killed her?
22:07I don't know.
22:09Convenience, I should think.
22:11Do you dislike me so much?
22:13You lied to me.
22:15You tricked me.
22:17I did not.
22:19You got me to forge the signature on the prescription.
22:21Oh, I did that.
22:23Oh, yes.
22:24Dr Haslam was on the other side of the island
22:26and probably drunk.
22:28Probably.
22:30Mary was in pain, for God's sake.
22:32Those drugs killed her.
22:34Yes.
22:36I helped you to administer them.
22:38You made me do that.
22:40Yes.
22:42I wanted her to die.
22:44You weren't nursing her.
22:46You don't know what it was like.
22:48For convenience, as I said.
22:50I love Mary.
22:52I couldn't stand her pain.
22:54You didn't.
22:57You once said I made you feel free.
23:01You did.
23:03For a week or two.
23:06Why do you think Greg's been subsidizing you
23:09all these years?
23:11What?
23:13Because I told him to.
23:16I knew you didn't love me
23:18and I've hated you for it.
23:21I knew it
23:23after the first two or three weeks
23:25we were together.
23:27I knew you wouldn't leave Evelyn
23:29so I had to think of some,
23:31some way to keep you.
23:34Greg's a slob.
23:36I knew I could control him.
23:51What was that for?
23:53Why did you do that?
23:56Because I hate myself.
23:58Why?
24:01Why do you think?
24:05Why haven't you told me this before?
24:08Oh, I've told you.
24:10You haven't heard, that's all.
24:14How did this happen?
24:17How did I let you do this to me?
24:21You implicate me in Mary's death
24:23you estranged me from Evelyn.
24:24You estranged me from Evelyn.
24:25I'm sorry.
24:53I've done everything for you.
24:55You're not going to leave me.
24:59I won't let you.
25:16Oi!
25:22Oi!
25:25Good morning, Jackson.
25:27Am I right in thinking
25:29that the temperature's moderated a little this morning?
25:31Don't like that.
25:33What are you after?
25:35I'm going to Victoria's funeral.
25:37I'm not at all sure that I can join in
25:39but I can at least pay my respects.
25:41Good morning.
25:43No, no, none of that.
25:45Hey!
25:47I've decided that you are right.
25:49Oh, I'm pleased to hear it.
25:51Does that mean you'll speak to the police?
25:53Yes, of course it does.
25:55I'll be delighted to hear about it later on.
26:04Some people would say thank you.
26:10I had to think quite a bit
26:12before mentioning this to you.
26:14Why is that, Mr. Ruffey?
26:16It wasn't my idea.
26:18And the person who had it
26:21the idea, I mean
26:23is a little old lady
26:25who knits and wears lace.
26:28She also has a mind
26:30like a bacon slicer.
26:32Why didn't she come to me herself?
26:34She didn't think you'd take her seriously.
26:36I might have done.
26:38I doubt it.
26:40It's a very good disguise.
26:42It even had me fooled for a minute.
26:44Better have her name for the record.
26:46Miss Marple.
26:48What?
26:50Miss Marple.
26:52You wouldn't happen to know
26:53if this lady comes from a village
26:55in England called St. Mary Mead?
26:58Yeah.
27:00Yeah, that rings a bell.
27:02I think that's what she said.
27:05Something like that, anyway.
27:07How do you know that?
27:10Magnificent.
27:12I've heard her called
27:14the best personality analyst in the world.
27:16A ruthless forensic brain.
27:18But mine, like a bacon slicer
27:20will do very well.
27:21Move over, will you?
27:23What's all this about?
27:25Well, when I was a young rookie
27:27at Hendham Police College
27:29we were lectured by an old bird
27:31called Sir Henry Clithering
27:33who was once head of CID at the Met.
27:35He was always quoting Miss Marple.
27:37Why?
27:39She's solved half a dozen cases,
27:41you know.
27:43Real brain-benders.
27:45Well, well, well.
27:47Associate Mayor.
27:48Associate Mayor.
27:51Why didn't she let on?
27:54Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
27:56In the sweet by and by
28:01We shall meet
28:03On that beautiful shore
28:07In the sweet by and by
28:13We shall meet
28:15On that beautiful shore
28:18In the sweet by and by
28:22And now the spirit of the mother
28:24rise up and enter the daughter
28:26Drive the evil spirit
28:28from the house
28:30Victoria's youngest.
28:32Mary.
28:34She always had a bad chest.
28:36Abide with me
28:40Fast for the even time
28:41Fast for the even time
28:49The darkness deepens
28:55I didn't know Victoria was married.
28:57Oh.
28:59Only so she'd notice.
29:01Nothing official.
29:03But he's a good man.
29:04Mother has
29:06heard
29:08They've put the whips
29:10in Victoria's hands.
29:13God bless you, okay?
29:15Help of the helpless
29:19Oh, abide
29:22with me
29:27I need
29:31thy breast
29:32every
29:34passing
29:36hour
29:38Miss Marple
29:40Inspector Weston
29:42I'm very pleased to meet you,
29:44ma'am.
29:46I've heard so much about you.
29:48Oh, that's very kind, I'm sure.
29:50Yes, well, thank you.
29:57They put a whip
29:59in each of the dead's hands.
30:00One mayama,
30:02one calabash
30:04so that the dead can punish
30:06the person who caused their death
30:08on nine night.
30:10Nine night?
30:12On the ninth night after the death
30:14awake as hell.
30:16That's when the dead
30:18punish.
30:30Can you keep an eye on her?
30:32Of course.
30:34I'd need to know
30:36if there was any change.
30:38Yes.
30:40I'd like to know
30:42if there was any change.
30:44No.
30:46No.
30:48No.
30:50No.
30:52No.
30:54No.
30:56No.
30:58No.
31:03Tim?
31:07I'm here, darling.
31:09I'm sorry.
31:12I'm so sorry.
31:17What happened?
31:20Oh,
31:22it's all right.
31:24I'm privileged to be able to say
31:26Miss Marple is seconded to my investigation.
31:28I see.
31:30She's overdosed herself with sleeping tablets
31:32but I don't think she intended to kill herself.
31:34Why not?
31:36She didn't take nearly enough.
31:38But it was a serious gesture.
31:40Very serious.
31:42She's in deep distress.
31:45I've just been talking to Mrs. Hillingham.
31:47It seems Molly confided in her.
31:51I'm not an expert
31:53but it sounds to me
31:55as if she's in the early stages
31:57of a paranoid psychosis.
31:58A persecution mania?
32:00If you like.
32:02Shouldn't she see a psychiatrist?
32:04Definitely.
32:06Tim Kendall won't hear of it, of course.
32:08He puts it down to
32:10overwork setting this place on its feet.
32:13And there may be some truth in that.
32:15Any psychosis needs a trigger.
32:19But the form it takes
32:22that needs investigation.
32:23That needs investigation.
32:53
33:23
33:53
34:00
34:07
34:15
34:22
34:29
34:38
34:45
34:52
35:00
35:07
35:14
35:21
35:27
35:34
35:41
35:48
35:54
36:01
36:08
36:17Oh, good morning.
36:19I wish to renew this book, please,
36:21for some friends.
36:22
36:29
36:36Hmm.
36:40Good afternoon, Miss Marple.
36:44Would you care for a cup of tea?
36:49I'm in a hurry.
36:51I was going to visit anyway.
36:58Where have you been all the morning?
37:01I thought you'd have been sunning yourself.
37:04It's your last day here, isn't it?
37:06Yes, it is.
37:07Well, I had to go down to Jamestown Library,
37:09as a matter of fact.
37:11Why?
37:12There was something I wanted to check up on.
37:14A book I'd found.
37:15I just wondered, you know.
37:17Well, have you found out who the murderer is yet?
37:20I don't know.
37:22It's perfectly clear in many ways who it is,
37:24and also quite impossible.
37:26One has to take impossibility a little into account,
37:28don't you think?
37:30And there again,
37:31there's a question of motive.
37:33Now, motive.
37:34Hmm.
37:35Oh, that's great.
37:38What are you standing there for, woman?
37:41You've got a dozen things to do.
37:44What do you think I'd pay all this money for?
37:46It's time for your green pills, Mr Raffael.
37:48Go away.
37:54That's better.
37:56Now, where were we?
37:59Oh, have you heard this one?
38:01The local old buyer man
38:03has cast a spell on Victoria's dead body.
38:07Yes, a wake will be held at her home tonight.
38:10What a load of nonsense.
38:12Oh, I think it might be quite useful.
38:14Why?
38:15Now, Mr Raffael,
38:16I need some information, I'm afraid.
38:18You'll find it personal
38:20and impertinent,
38:21but it is urgent,
38:22and I apologise.
38:23Get on with it.
38:24What do you want?
38:26Well, I need to know the financial arrangement
38:28that you've made in the event of your death
38:30relating to
38:31Esther Walters
38:33and Mr Jackson.
38:36Do you indeed?
38:39Well,
38:42I suppose I'll have to tell you then.
38:44Ha ha ha.
38:46Ha ha ha.
38:58But this is most perplexing.
39:01What you're saying, in effect,
39:02is that neither of them will benefit by your death.
39:05Esther's very well paid.
39:07She'll have a bit put by.
39:08She's a sensible girl.
39:10And Jackson gets a rise
39:13well above the cost of living
39:14every year that I'm alive.
39:17I want them interested
39:19in seeing that I live to be 100.
39:23I see.
39:26Yes, I see.
39:28Well,
39:29thank you.
39:32Go and have a shower.
39:33See you at dinner.
39:44See you later.
40:14See you later.
40:29Is there anything else I can get you?
40:33No, there's anything you need at all.
40:35It's just a common ask.
40:44Greg seems to have hit his streak.
40:48Night.
41:00Hadn't you better go and work?
41:02No.
41:04No more of that.
41:06She'll be disappointed.
41:07She'll have to be.
41:09I'm sure she will.
41:11I'm sure she will.
41:12She'll be disappointed.
41:13She'll have to be.
41:17So what have you decided?
41:20I've cleared our flights home.
41:22Yours and mine.
41:23With the police?
41:24Yes.
41:26What if they drag you back from England?
41:28I'll tell the truth.
41:30It's the only solution.
41:32Whatever the consequences.
41:35It means
41:36you'd have to agree
41:37to tell the boys the truth too.
41:39I don't mind anything
41:40as long as they know the truth
41:42and they know I'm where I am
41:44as a result of telling it.
41:47All right.
41:49Does that mean you'll come back to England?
41:51Providing there are no strings.
41:53None.
41:56If there are no expectations, I'll come.
41:59I lived with this a long time
42:01for the boys' sake.
42:03I've written you off, Edward.
42:05It may remain like that.
42:07I expect nothing.
42:08I expect nothing.
42:38Hello.
42:40Mr. Dyson.
42:44Oh, you startled me.
42:47Sorry, ma'am.
42:50I didn't mean to frighten you.
42:54Good luck, Mr. Dyson.
42:57I'll be back.
42:59I'll be back.
43:01I'll be back.
43:04I'll be back.
43:06I'll be back.
43:08I'll be back.
43:13What do you mean?
43:15For the future, I suppose.
43:18Good night.
43:27Night, ma'am.
43:38Mr. Jackson.
43:40I'm sorry, ma'am.
43:42Mr. Raphael's compliments,
43:44but he thought you ought to know.
43:46Mrs. Kendall's gone missing.
43:48Molly.
43:49It's all right.
43:51People are out looking for her now.
43:54Look, there is just
43:57one more thing.
43:59What is it?
44:01I don't know.
44:03I don't know.
44:05I don't know.
44:07One more thing.
44:11Yes?
44:13I overheard your conversation
44:15with Mr. Raphael this afternoon.
44:17Did you indeed?
44:18Oh, yes.
44:19I made sure I did.
44:21He didn't tell you the truth.
44:23Really?
44:25I've read his will, do you see?
44:27Yes, I think I do.
44:29He's left
44:31Esther Walters
44:3355,000 pounds.
44:34Are you sure?
44:36Oh, yes.
44:38Have you told anybody about this?
44:40Yes,
44:41I told Esther.
44:43I reckon she had a right to know.
44:45Why did Mr. Raphael lie to me?
44:48He doesn't trust anybody.
44:50Not even you.
44:52Not even Esther.
44:54But then again,
44:56who more do I?
44:58I suppose you could say
45:00we're birds of a feather.
45:01Mind you,
45:02it is genuine about his will,
45:03I promise you.
45:05I had a look at his papers.
45:07Why are you telling me?
45:09It sounded as if it was important.
45:11It sounded as if it
45:12mattered somehow.
45:14Well, it does,
45:15that kind of money.
45:17It was very foolish of Mr. Raphael
45:18not to trust me.
45:20Do you reckon
45:21something could have happened
45:22to Mrs. Kendall?
45:24Well, do you think so?
45:26Why should you want to know
45:27what I think?
45:29Well,
45:30do you want to know
45:31what I think?
45:32Because you searched
45:33her bathroom.
45:37Yes.
45:40I think something
45:41could have happened
45:42to Mrs. Kendall.
45:43I think quite a lot
45:44has been happening
45:45to her already.
45:47I reckon she's an addict.
45:49I've been around drugs
45:50for years.
45:51I was trained,
45:52you see.
45:54Well,
45:55I doubt
45:56if she's really
45:57disappeared.
45:58She's just taken
45:59a little bus ticket
46:01to Shangri-La.
46:29I've been treated
46:30naturally stupid
46:32as I am.
46:58What's going on?
47:09Nemesis is on the march.
47:10The goddess of retribution.
47:12It is Nine Night after all.
47:16You think you're Nemesis, do you?
47:17Well, with your help, I could be her instrument.
47:20I've been very, very foolish, Mr. Raphael.
47:21The whole thing was so absurdly simple.
47:24Well, there's no time to lose.
47:25Heaven knows when the police will get here.
47:27What help do you want?
47:29I should like Jackson with me.
47:31And I should like to be sure that he
47:32does exactly what I tell him.
47:33Jackson will do anything for money, won't you, Jackson?
47:41What do you need him for?
47:43To prevent another murder.
47:44Jackson?
48:15I've got something to tell you.
48:27I told somebody else about Esther's legacy.
48:31I thought you had.
48:46Tim?
48:55Tim, darling?
48:58Oh, God, where are you?
49:05Oh, you frightened me.
49:09Well, I must have dozed off.
49:11Where have you been, darling?
49:12I didn't come swimming.
49:14You promised.
49:15I couldn't, honey.
49:18I tried to tell you.
49:20Where were you?
49:23I've been swimming.
49:30There was someone in the water.
49:39There was someone swimming there already.
49:42Well, I didn't want to disturb them, of course.
49:46Disturb her?
49:48My God.
49:58No, she was swimming.
50:02Swimming games.
50:06Playing around.
50:13I could see her roots.
50:24Her hair.
50:26She hadn't done her roots.
50:34Why did she have to come swimming?
50:37Spoiling our fun.
50:38We could have had fun.
50:51Why is there no more fun, Tim?
50:55Why did it all go wrong?
51:08Here, my darling.
51:13Drink this.
51:26What are you doing, Tim?
51:28Leave him alone!
51:31Leave him alone!
51:32Leave him alone!
51:33Leave him alone!
51:34Leave him alone!
51:35Leave him alone!
51:36Leave him alone!
51:38He's a murderer.
51:39No.
51:40No, no.
51:43Tim, darling, why are they saying this about you?
51:49What's happened?
51:52It'll be all right.
51:54I'll stand by you.
51:57As a silly child, you married a liar.
51:59For God's sake, shut up, you damn bitch!
52:01Don't get behind!
52:03Shut your big, ugly mouth!
52:06Get out!
52:31Victoria did come for you tonight, mister.
52:33And she got you!
52:36Get out!
52:54Major Paul Grave had a false eye, a goth eye.
52:58He told me he'd lost that eye in a hunting accident.
53:01Oh, I've been unbelievably foolish.
53:06So when you thought the old yawn was tearing over your right shoulder,
53:12it was really his glass eye?
53:14Just so.
53:16And the good one was peering off at an entirely different duration?
53:21Towards Tim Kendall and Molly, who were doing their accounts.
53:25Oh, if only I'd been listening.
53:28And Victoria, what about her?
53:30Victoria?
53:31I must have seen him in Major Paul Grave's cottage that night.
53:35Perhaps he knew she'd seen him, and he thought she was dangerous.
53:39As for Lucky, Tim Kendall had arranged a swimming accident for his wife.
53:45It was to be a midnight swim.
53:48No doubt to prove to the poor girl that romance hadn't deserted their life at the hotel.
53:54Tim Kendall didn't realize that the raft was a place of assignation for Lucky and Edward Hillingdon.
54:01Lucky went there, wearing a similar costume as Molly used.
54:06Once he'd attacked her, he had to go on.
54:11As we know, Molly arrived to find Lucky floating there, dead.
54:16It plunged her into that hysteria which her husband had cultivated in her.
54:21He had abused her with mind-changing drugs.
54:24He'd planted a book about mental disorder in their cottage,
54:27so that she'd find it and believe that he was worried about her.
54:39Perhaps Molly will be all right.
54:41To know your husband meant to murder you for another woman's 55,000 pounds.
54:47Poor child.
54:52I've been very, very stupid.
54:56Poor Major Palgrave told me exactly what to expect.
55:00A man who was distraught at his wife's attempted suicide,
55:04and a while later, she would apparently succeed.
55:08Well, I didn't listen.
55:12And that's that.
55:14Here we are, Aunt Jane.
55:17Tea's up.
55:19Oh, thank you.
55:21Everything all right?
55:23Oh, yes.
55:25Sorry about all this.
55:27Oh, but I missed it, you know.
55:29I missed it very much.
