00:00You're not serious.
00:28You can't be.
00:34It was a joke, that's all.
00:37I was joking.
00:40Find the blades.
00:44We are English, for God's sake.
00:52My God.
00:53Ready?
00:57Go!
01:57I never knew you were so keen on opera, Poirot.
02:04Generally, mon ami, I am not, but read the letter.
02:29The father who is jealous, his daughter she is dishonoured,
02:32so he plans the murder of Parfait, but he has failed to understand the psychology,
02:39and the result, catastrophe.
02:40That is what interests me.
02:41Well, it does have a couple of good tunes, I suppose.
02:45Monsieur Poirot, Monsieur Poirot, I hope you'll forgive me intruding like this,
02:52but when I saw you, I couldn't believe it.
02:56It is Lady Chatterton, is it not?
02:58You remember me.
03:00Madame.
03:01But then, of course you would.
03:02I was there when you solved the Chalfont Diamonds case.
03:05I was one of the suspects.
03:07It was so thrilling.
03:08And I have to say, Monsieur Poirot, you were magnificent.
03:12Yes.
03:13I've never forgotten seeing you at work.
03:16That's what made me wonder...
03:19There is something troubling you, Lady Chatterton.
03:22Yes, there is.
03:24Not me, you understand.
03:25My friend, Mrs. Clayton.
03:28I'm sure she's in danger, Monsieur Poirot.
03:31Is that Mr. Clayton with her?
03:33Oh, no, no, just a friend.
03:34That's Major Rich.
03:39Could you call on me tomorrow?
03:41I'm sure you're a busy man, but...
03:43Lady Chatterton, I will call on you at 11 o'clock in the morning.
03:48Thank you, Monsieur Poirot.
03:59Marguerite Clayton is one of my dearest friends.
04:02As you saw, she's a very beautiful woman.
04:05Notoriously so.
04:07It is said that ten years ago,
04:09two of her admirers actually fought a duel over her.
04:12In England?
04:13Yes.
04:14Nobody understood why she chose Edward Clayton.
04:17She could have married anybody.
04:29He has a violent temper, Monsieur Poirot.
04:32Marguerite lives in constant fear of him.
04:35And recently, his behaviour has become very strange.
04:39So quiet, so...detached.
04:43As if he were planning something.
04:48Monsieur Poirot, I think Edward Clayton is going to be very angry.
04:54Monsieur Poirot, I think Edward Clayton is going to murder his wife.
05:00Oh.
05:18Yes, sir.
05:20Good morning. I wonder if you can help me.
05:23There's something I'm looking for, but I don't quite know how to describe it.
05:27I don't quite know how to describe it.
05:30It's a type of knife.
05:57Edward?
06:18You're early.
06:23Yes, I won't be able to come to Major Richard's this evening Marguerite.
06:42Why can't you come tonight?
06:44I have to go to Edinburgh.
06:46There have been some complications in the Gordon case.
06:49Can't your clerk sort it out?
06:51No need for my personal attention.
06:54But I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself without me.
06:58Would you prefer it if I didn't go?
07:00No, I'd prefer it if you went.
07:03I don't see why you should sit in by yourself.
07:09Have you told Major Rich?
07:11No, I'll look in this afternoon.
07:12I'm at the club until four, but I can call in on my way to the station.
07:20Well, if that's what you want, Edward.
07:23Yes, that's what I want.
07:28Have a lovely time.
07:44Well, it's none of my business what you do.
07:48You told me you're going to Scotland.
07:53I just don't know if I can go through with this, Curtis.
07:57You want to know, don't you?
07:59Do I?
08:03These last six months, you've looked as if you're wasting away.
08:08I know.
08:10I keep stepping back and saying this is madness.
08:15Well...
08:19I will do it.
08:24I'll do it.
08:40It's all knocked up.
08:48Good afternoon, Burgoyne.
08:49Good afternoon, sir.
08:52Is Major Rich in?
08:54I'm sorry, sir.
08:55Major Rich has been out since early this morning.
08:57Did he say what time he'd be back?
08:59No, sir.
09:00I don't think he'll be long, though.
09:02All right, I'll wait.
09:03If he doesn't come back in a few minutes, I'll leave a note for him.
09:06Certainly, sir.
09:07May I fetch you a pen?
09:09You can just get on with your duties, Burgoyne.
09:11I'll leave a note for him in the sitting room.
09:13Very good, sir.
09:38Thank you, sir.
09:59I'd like a word with you, Major Rich.
10:11Mrs. Clayton is a very old and dear friend of mine, Major.
10:25There's been a lot of talk about you and her.
10:28Too much talk, Rich.
10:30Now, look, Curtis.
10:33I don't know what any of this has to do with you.
10:36As much or as little as I choose.
10:39Mrs. Clayton finds your attentions offensive, sir.
10:43Now, just you listen to me.
10:45No, no, no.
10:46Your attentions are unwelcome, Major.
10:48Just get that into your head, will you?
10:52If they continue, I should be obliged to put an end to them myself.
10:56Do you understand?
11:22Good afternoon, sir.
11:23Hello, Burgoyne.
11:25I believe Mr. Clayton is waiting for you in the sitting room, sir.
11:29Clayton?
11:30Yes, sir.
11:39No, there's no one here.
11:46He said he would wait for a few minutes and then leave a note.
11:49But I didn't hear him go, sir.
11:59How much longer is Miss Lemon on holiday?
12:02I can't make head or tail of her filing system.
12:05She is in Frinton for one more week, mon ami.
12:10What is it that you are looking for?
12:12I thought we might have something on this Edward Clayton.
12:15You're looking very smart.
12:16Thank you, mon ami.
12:19I'm going to a party with Lady Chatterton.
12:21I'm going to meet the sinister Edward Clayton.
12:24I suppose you think he'll take one look at you and change his mind about murdering his wife.
12:29All things are possible.
12:31Come on, Poirot, admit it.
12:32You're only going so you can be fussed over by Lady Chatterton.
12:35You took this case on simply because of the way she buttered you up.
12:38You think it is wrong, Hastings, to enjoy the compliments or the buttering, as you say?
12:42No, but do you have to show it quite so much?
12:45Not English.
12:47Perhaps it is Belgian.
12:49Hastings, why should I be the hypocrite?
12:51To blush when I am praised and to say, like you, it is nothing.
12:56I have the order, the method and the psychology.
13:00There, I admit it.
13:02I am the best.
13:03I am Hercule Poirot.
13:06And now I think it is time for me to go.
13:09A perfect gentleman must not keep waiting a lady.
13:48There is Madame Clayton.
13:52Ah, yes.
13:54I can't see her husband.
13:58Is she speaking with her friend, Major Rich?
14:00Yes.
14:04Caroline, I'm so glad you could come.
14:06Thanks, John.
14:07This is Hercule Poirot, a friend of mine.
14:10Major Rich.
14:11Hercule Poirot, I know that name.
14:17You're the writer.
14:19No.
14:22Where's Edward?
14:24He couldn't make it, I'm afraid.
14:29Are you over here on holiday, Mr Poirot?
14:31No, I live here.
14:33Well, have a drink. It's all very informal.
14:38Lady Chatterton.
14:41Merci.
14:42I'm so sorry, Monsieur Poirot.
14:44Edward Clayton is not here.
14:47Eh bien, I can relax and enjoy myself.
14:50Indeed.
15:17That's the focus of you now, Madam Patterson.
15:20Sir, do you wish to withdraw the invitation?
15:23No.
15:38Mary used to love dancing.
15:40John lost his wife a few months ago.
15:43My condolences, Major Rich.
15:47Edward hates this modern music.
15:49It's just as well he's not here.
15:51Your husband is unwell, Madam?
15:53No, he has business in Scotland.
15:57And does he abandon you very often, your husband?
16:00I can assure you that normally Mr Clayton keeps a firm grip on Mrs Clayton.
16:06A stranglehold, you mean.
16:17Oh!
16:38Put on something with a bit of a fizz.
16:40These foolish things?
16:41No!
16:43Nobody's sweetheart.
16:44Yes, that'll do.
16:47Here's to the lettering.
16:55Music for second-rate people provided by the inferior races, Ward.
17:02That is not a very pleasant thing to say, Monsieur.
17:17You're not dancing, Monsieur Poirot?
17:19No, no, no, Lady Chatterton.
17:21This music is for the young people, with the limbs that are supple.
17:25I'm sure you're a wonderful dancer.
17:28No, no, no, no, truly.
17:30But tell me, Madam,
17:32who is that unpleasant man over there with the walking stick?
17:35Unpleasant? Colonel Curtis.
17:38He's an old friend of Marguerite's.
17:41Unpleasant? Colonel Curtis.
17:44He's an old friend of Marguerite's.
17:46Why do you say unpleasant?
17:50Now come along, Monsieur Poirot.
17:52I insist.
18:04Oh!
18:08Justin!
18:11Justin!
18:41Oh!
18:57This I cannot drink.
18:59There must be no more than three spoons of sugar in my tisane.
19:02That is the way Miss Lemon prepares it.
19:04I put three spoons in.
19:06Then Miss Lemon must use a spoon that is smaller.
19:12BUZZER BUZZES
19:14I'll get it.
19:18Chief Inspector.
19:20Licence.
19:25Morning, Poirot.
19:27Ah!
19:28Chief Inspector Jacques, bonjour.
19:31You are on a matter of importance, yes?
19:33For you are up with the blood.
19:35Lark, a cup of tea, Chief Inspector?
19:38No, thank you.
19:40No, thank you.
19:41Please be seated, Chief Inspector.
19:48You have come for my help, I think?
19:51Well, yes, you could say that.
19:55Thing is, you see, I've come to interview you.
19:58Interview?
20:00As a witness.
20:02Witness to what?
20:05You were at the Belgravia home of Major John Rich last night?
20:10Yes.
20:12This morning, I arrested Major Rich for the murder of Edward Clayton.
20:19You...
20:22You were seeing them a witness?
20:25Did you by any chance remark on an elaborate wooden chest in the room where you were?
20:30A Spanish chest, I believe it's called.
20:32I don't think...
20:33A manservant, Burgoyne, discovered the body inside this chest when he was cleaning the room.
20:39Clayton's blood had seeped into the carpet.
20:42He'd been stabbed through the eye, straight into the brain.
20:51But you were telling me that the body was there?
20:53While the rest of you listened to music and drank cocktails and danced,
20:58or whatever it is you had to do,
21:01It's pretty macabre, isn't it?
21:04It's revolting.
21:10Chief Inspector, you are convinced that the killer is Major Rich?
21:14Rich was in love with Marguerite Clayton.
21:16That was the motive.
21:18And he had the opportunity.
21:20Clayton called round to see him a few hours before the first guests arrived.
21:23You think that Marguerite was in love with him?
21:26You called round to see him a few hours before the first guests arrived?
21:29You think that Major Rich, he came home, he killed Edward Clayton, put the body in the chest,
21:33and then later he entertained his guests in the same room?
21:36That's about the size of it.
21:38No.
21:40No, Chief Inspector, and again, I say, no.
21:45It is not possible that Major Rich killed Edward Clayton.
21:57I swear to heaven, Mr. Poirot, I never saw him.
22:01Have you any idea why Edward Clayton should have wished to see you?
22:05None at all.
22:07According to Marguerite, Mrs. Clayton,
22:10he was on his way to Scotland.
22:13He was on his way to Scotland?
22:15Yes.
22:17He was on his way to Scotland?
22:19Yes.
22:21He was on his way to Scotland?
22:23Yes.
22:26Had you ever discussed Madam Clayton with her husband?
22:29Why should I do that, Mr. Poirot?
22:35Forgive me, Major Rich, but how long ago is it since your wife died?
22:40I know what you're insinuating, Mr. Poirot,
22:43but there was never anything improper between us.
22:56Very good, sir.
22:59Colonel Curtis will see you now, sir.
23:01Smitty!
23:02Sir?
23:03Take these gentlemen through to the strangers' room.
23:05Yes, sir. This way, gentlemen.
23:12Mr. Poirot.
23:14Mr. Poirot.
23:16Mr. Poirot.
23:18Mr. Poirot.
23:20Mr. Poirot.
23:22Mr. Poirot.
23:24Mr. Poirot.
23:26Mr. Poirot.
23:30That's the gymnasium through there.
23:32Are there other gymnasiums here?
23:34Oh, yes, sir. There's weights, fencing, parallel bars.
23:37It's very popular with the members.
23:39So you're thinking of joining, then?
23:41No.
23:42Oh, right. We'll go this way.
23:47And there's no talking.
23:55Excuse me, Colonel Curtis. Your guests.
23:58Thank you, Smitty.
24:00Colonel Curtis.
24:01How do you do?
24:02I'd like to introduce my associate, Captain Hastings.
24:04How do you do? Please, sit down.
24:08I'm sure you don't need to tell me why you're here, Mr. Poirot.
24:11It's a dreadful business. Dreadful.
24:14You have heard?
24:16Yes. Your chap here at Scotland Yard.
24:19He seemed to find it amusing that you were there last night.
24:24And you?
24:26I think it's a godsend.
24:28I mean, you're a detective.
24:31I am the detective, Colonel Curtis.
24:36Then I don't need to tell you that Major Rich, in my opinion, could never...
24:43May I ask you, Colonel Curtis, how did you come to know Edward Clayton?
24:48I knew Mrs. Clayton before they married.
24:52Was Mr. Clayton a friend of yours?
24:55Of course. He was Marguerite's husband.
24:58I understand that Edward Clayton came to visit you here at the club yesterday.
25:04That's right.
25:08What passed between you?
25:10Oh, not much.
25:12Had a drink together.
25:14Told me he was going to Scotland,
25:16but that he'd look in at Rich's on his way to the station.
25:20Did he say why?
25:22No.
25:24To apologise for missing the party, I imagine.
25:30Had he ever hinted at any impropriety between Major Rich and Marguerite Clayton?
25:36Certainly not.
25:42My apologies, Colonel Curtis.
25:45I try only to establish the facts.
25:50Well, he wasn't much help, was he?
25:52Did you remark upon his scar, Hastings?
25:54Yes. You probably need one to be a member here.
25:57Marguerite, you shouldn't have come.
25:59I had to see you.
26:28I don't know what to do, John.
26:30There's nothing you can do.
26:34Can't you leave us alone, Officer?
26:41If the police question me...
26:43Margot.
26:46I didn't kill him.
26:51There's a private detective too, asking questions.
26:56Just tell them the truth.
26:58How can I?
27:01I know it seems hard, Margot,
27:03but if you just tell the truth...
27:06I'm sorry.
27:08I can't stay here.
27:12I'm sorry, John.
27:14Marguerite.
27:16I shouldn't have come here.
27:26I left Mr. Clayton here, outside the sitting-room door.
27:29That must have been just after 6 o'clock.
27:32I went to press Major Ritchie's evening suit.
27:35But Mr. Clayton didn't leave, you say?
27:38I think I would have heard him if he'd gone.
27:40Bien. Tell me, Monsieur Burgoyne,
27:42when your master returned, did you actually see him enter at the door?
27:46I heard the door close, sir.
27:48But you did not see him enter?
27:50No, sir.
27:54If you please, we will now go inside.
27:58You think Major Ritchie was waiting for Clayton?
28:00Why, it is possible, Hastings.
28:02He kills Edward Clayton.
28:04He puts the body inside the chest.
28:06He comes out. He shuts the door,
28:08to establish that he has just arrived.
28:12Let us look at his vanished chest.
28:17Hello.
28:20Hello.
28:22It is not the same.
28:24Ah, the carpet has been taken off, sir.
28:27You see, Hastings,
28:29this chest, it is clearly visible from the door, yes?
28:33But...
28:41Yes.
28:43The screen conceals most of it from the rest of the room.
29:01If you please, Hastings.
29:19Hastings.
29:23Woodwell?
29:27Come, Hastings.
29:29There is nothing more for us here.
29:42Well, Major Ritchie certainly had the opportunity to kill Clayton.
29:45And as for motive, well...
29:47Go on, mon ami.
29:49Well, Mrs. Clayton, it does not look too good for him, does it?
29:52You think not, Hastings?
29:54I wonder what the beautiful Madam Clayton has to say about all this.
29:58Remain guarded, if you please.
30:47Oh, quick, gentlemen, please, please help me.
30:49Something terrible has happened.
31:17She's locked herself in there, sir.
31:19I can't get no answer when I knock.
31:28Quick, mademoiselle, telephone for the doctor.
31:48I've washed out her stomach.
31:50She ought to rest.
31:52We shall take one or two minutes only, doctor.
31:54You do understand the urgency of the situation?
31:57Yes.
31:59No more than five minutes, though.
32:01Oui, d'accord. Merci.
32:10It was my fault.
32:14It was all my fault.
32:18Major Rich and I, we'd always been friends, but that was all.
32:28Until his wife died.
32:31Oh, it was all my fault, Mr. Poirot.
32:37What did you do?
32:41I prayed for my husband's death.
32:44I wanted Edward to die.
32:49Major Rich knew my feelings.
32:52We talked about it, but only...
32:57He must have misunderstood me.
33:00He must have thought I was asking him to kill my husband.
33:05That's why he did it.
33:09Oh, God.
33:12Oh, God.
33:15Oh, God.
33:29This is difficult, Hastings.
33:33Very difficult.
33:36The tartar fries, s'il vous plaît.
33:39Just a cup of coffee for me, please.
33:46Merci.
33:48To commit a crime, yes.
33:50But then to invite 20 people into the same room?
33:55Major Rich has stabbed Edward Clayton.
33:59He has put the body into the Spanish chest minutes before a party is due to start.
34:05What about the valet, Hastings?
34:07What of him?
34:08He would be certain to discover the body in the morning.
34:13Now, Major Rich would have known that.
34:15So why did not the major dispose of the body during the night?
34:27Hastings.
34:30I must return to the Scotland Yard and the Chief Inspector Jeb.
34:33I'll come with you.
34:34No, no, no.
34:35You will take yourself to the military club.
34:38There is there, I think, a gymnasium.
34:41What's a gymnasium got to do with it?
34:43That is precisely what you will find out for me.
34:48Detecting's not what it was, you know.
34:51They expect you to be a blooming secretary.
34:58How do you make this thing go backwards?
35:00How do you mean?
35:01When I go back and type over something, there must be some sort of reverse gear.
35:04It is not that one, is it?
35:10See who that is.
35:19Bonjour, Sergeant.
35:21Mr. Poirot, sir.
35:22Ah, come in, Poirot.
35:24All right, Rash.
35:31Take a seat.
35:32I'll be with you in a...
35:33Oh, damn, I'm blasted.
35:36All this paperwork.
35:39You any good with one of these?
35:40No.
35:41And my own Miss Lemon is, alas...
35:43Not ill, is she?
35:45Worse. She is at Frinton.
35:54Chief Inspector,
35:55I need to see the contents of the pockets of Edward Clayton
35:58at the time that he was taken from the chest.
36:03It's very popular with the members of the gymnasium.
36:06And that's where it happened?
36:07That's what I was told.
36:10What am I to tell them, then?
36:11But there was a duel.
36:12Yeah, at six o'clock in the morning.
36:14I don't know who they were, so you needn't bother to ask.
36:17Why did they fight?
36:18Why do you think? It was over some woman, wasn't it?
36:20Marguerite Clayton.
36:22I don't know who it was.
36:24They were about my ten bob.
36:29Are these two men...
36:32Was one of them having an affair with Marguerite Clayton?
36:35No, that was the barmy thing about it.
36:37It was all just a joke.
36:38One of the officers made a joke about the lady,
36:40so the other one called him out.
36:42That's all it was, a joke.
36:44Only sort of joke, though.
36:45Go and get yourself sliced up like salami.
36:59Yes, we wondered about that.
37:02But I expected it.
37:10Voila.
37:19Yes?
37:22This is for you.
37:24Hastings.
37:28Hello?
37:29Yes, Hastings.
37:32Good.
37:33But he did not tell you the people involved?
37:38Excellent, Hastings.
37:39Excellent.
37:44Well?
37:47Chief Inspector Sherp,
37:49I must ask you to trust me as you have never trusted me before.
37:53Here we go.
37:54Yes, but we have never before faced a crime that is perfect,
37:57committed with such coldness.
38:00It is remarkable.
38:02Unique.
38:04I don't know why I bother sometimes.
38:06I may as well stay at home and do my garden.
38:10Who do you want me to arrest now?
38:15Chief Inspector Sherp, please, stop that.
38:18Mr. Clayton, Mr. Clayton.
38:22Mr. Clayton, Mr. Clayton.
38:24Mr. Clayton, Mr. Clayton.
38:26It is true you are still investigating.
38:28Is he under arrest?
38:29Hold it.
38:31Mr. Quiral, how long have you been involved in the case?
38:34Did you arrange to have Mr. Clayton arrested?
38:36I have nothing to say.
38:43All right, Rich. Pack your kit.
38:44You're going out.
38:54Hello?
38:55You've got it wrong, Mr. Quiral.
38:58I know who killed Edward Clayton.
39:01You know who?
39:02Meet me at the military club.
39:04In the gymnasium.
39:06Who is this, please?
39:07I'll show you.
39:13Mr. Quiral.
39:15Mr. Quiral.
39:17Mr. Quiral.
39:19Mr. Quiral.
39:21Mr. Quiral.
39:23Hello?
39:53Mr. Quiral.
40:24Mr. Quiral.
40:46Colonel Curtis.
40:49You got it wrong, you bloody little frog.
40:54You've arrested Marguerite Clayton.
40:58You degraded her.
41:00Soiled her.
41:03But she had nothing to do with it.
41:06Two things, Colonel Curtis.
41:08Firstly, I am not a bloody little frog.
41:11I am a bloody little Belgian.
41:14Secondly, I know quite well that Marguerite Clayton is innocent.
41:21Go on.
41:23Edward Clayton believed his wife to be unfaithful.
41:26There was talk.
41:28But he was not certain.
41:29So he came to you, his friend.
41:32And you suggested a scheme fantastique.
41:37Will you listen to me?
41:39Will you do as I say?
41:43I just don't know if I can go through with it, Curtis.
41:45Monsieur Clayton was obsessed with the possibility that his wife had been unfaithful.
41:49And so you fuelled his jealousy for your own ends.
41:53First, you tell him he must play the old, old trick of pretending to go away.
41:59A business trip to Scotland will do very nicely.
42:05Then, he gains admission to the House of Major Rich under the pretext of leaving a note.
42:15Then, following your scheme...
42:19Edward Clayton conceals himself inside the Spanish chest.
42:31Now, he can hear for himself what takes place.
42:33Perhaps he will hear Major Rich make love to his wife.
42:36But at least the torment will be over.
42:39He will know.
42:42But there is one further consideration.
42:44To breathe inside the box, he needs the air.
42:48And so, with the instrument he has brought,
42:50he makes a hole through which he can not only breathe,
42:53but most important of all, through which he can observe.
43:00But the poor, deluded Clayton.
43:03He did not know that you also were in love with Margaret.
43:05That you had always loved her, fought even a duel for her.
43:08That you had always loved her, fought even a duel for her.
43:14Fertig? Ready?
43:18We are English, for God's sake.
43:26Who told you that?
43:28I was joking.
43:33Your scarf.
43:38Your first scheme had been merely to get rid of Edward Clayton.
43:41But even with her husband out of the way,
43:44you began to fear that she might eventually turn to a younger man.
43:50Major Rich.
43:53His last scheme of yours would encompass them both.
44:09I'm sorry.
44:28With one stroke, Edward Clayton is dead.
44:32And Major Rich will hang for the mother.
44:38Hmm.
44:52Nobody knows I'm here.
44:57When the police find you tomorrow,
45:01they'll know they were wrong to release Rich.
45:04You still wish to fight for Margaret Clayton?
45:08After all these years?
45:12But not with me, I think.
45:18Will you fight for her better?
45:20Damn you!
45:34Look!
46:04Damn you!
46:34Ah!
47:05I'm forever in your debt, Mr. Poirot.
47:07Et bien, madame. It was nothing.
47:12My husband was not a likable man, but...
47:16to be murdered in cold blood...
47:18I don't see why you had Mrs. Clayton arrested.
47:22Major Rich, it was necessary to smoke out Colonel Curtis, you understand.
47:26And to make a public spectacle of Madame Clayton.
47:30It was the only way.
47:32It was the only way.
47:34You were wonderful.
47:39As I say, madame,
47:43it was nothing.
47:45I was...
47:47lucky, that is all.
47:50We'll always be grateful to you, Mr. Poirot.
47:52Major Rich.
47:53Always.
47:54Madame.
47:57Goodbye.
47:58Goodbye.
48:02Goodbye.
48:14Nothing.
48:16Lucky.
48:18I am learning, Hastings.
48:20It is more English, yes?
48:21The humbleness?
48:22No.
48:23I am learning.
48:26I shall be the most humble person in the world.
48:29No one shall match Hercule Poirot for his humblety.
