02:40♪
02:50♪
03:10♪
03:20Be quiet, Bob!
03:23♪
03:48Wretched creature, games at all hours.
03:51Put him in his basket before he wakes the whole house.
03:56♪
04:12♪
04:20Put it there.
04:22No, no, no!
04:23Don't! No, monsieur! C'est ma valise.
04:25She and I have travelled together the world.
04:27Ah, excuse me. Another thing, Poirot?
04:29No, Hastings, it is a lack of care. I will not see an old friend used.
04:32So, roughly, put that there.
04:34You see, Hastings, there's just no pride in the work.
04:36No, Poirot, if we don't back up, we're going to miss Charlie's attempt at the world record.
04:39Alors, vite, mon ami, vite!
05:01You see? You took off the porter and we missed the boat.
05:05Do not blame yourself, Hastings.
05:10Oh, no. Now what are we going to do?
05:13Charlie starts in half an hour.
05:18All is not lost, mon ami.
05:20Excusez-moi, monsieur, this is an emergency.
05:23We are foreign observers at the record attempt.
05:26If you please, could you take us to the motorboat club?
05:29Hastings!
05:35Just think, in a few minutes' time,
05:37old Charlie could become the fastest man in the world on water.
05:41And after the record, it has been broken.
05:44A few days for us, Hastings,
05:46of the good food, the good wine and a little...
05:51Peace.
05:52Anyway, I knew there was a mistake with the speedometer
05:56when at 80 miles an hour this duck flew past me flying in the same direction.
06:00Charlie! Battler, my dear old fellow, I'm so glad you could make it.
06:04We thought we might have missed the main event, but if you're still here...
06:07That's right, old boy, they won't go without me.
06:09May I introduce... Ah, this must be him.
06:11Ladies and gentlemen, we're all very honoured.
06:14I'd like you to meet Hercule Poirot.
06:16Not THE Hercule Poirot.
06:18Are there others known where they are?
06:20My sister, Teresa.
06:22And this is... Oh, to hell with it,
06:24you're bound to meet them over the weekend anyhow.
06:26They're just your sort, Mr Poirot, villains, the lot of them.
06:30I think you'll find it's nearly time, sir.
06:32Oh, hell, yes. You've all got 15 minutes to find a ringside seat.
06:36Look after these two, will you, Teresa?
06:38Of course. Walter, would you bring their suitcases up to the rooms?
06:42Certainly, ma'am.
06:45And here he is, ladies and gentlemen,
06:48the man you've been waiting for, Mr Charles Aranful.
06:51Now, as you know, Mr Aranful's a noble man.
06:56Indeed, his father, Mr Emily Aranful, put up a party in his enterprise.
07:00And we're honoured to have her with us today.
07:06Mr Poirot, I'd like you to meet my aunt.
07:08Hercule Poirot, Captain Hastings, Emily Aranful.
07:11Enchanté, madame.
07:13I didn't know my nephew had any distinguished friends, Mr Poirot.
07:17This is Wilhelmina Lawson, by the way, my companion.
07:20Madame.
07:21I hope they're treating you well here, Mr Poirot.
07:23I know the food is meant to be excellent, but the company...
07:27Well, they are excited, madame.
07:29And after the world record, it has been broken.
07:31There was but...
07:33It's all right, I know.
07:35He wants me to introduce you.
07:38May I present Bob.
07:40Enchanté.
07:42Would you care to dine with us tonight, Mr Poirot?
07:45Mr Aranful faces a daunting task.
07:48He's got to cross the measured mile in under 29.58 seconds
07:52to beat the current record held by Commodore Wood.
07:56However, conditions today are perilous,
07:58and Mr Aranful told me himself he's confident that his craft,
08:01the spirit of Aranful, is fighting fit and ready to go.
08:05There she is.
08:06Ah, there they are.
08:07Hello, Aunt Emily.
08:08Hello, children.
08:09Careful.
08:10Hello.
08:11How are you?
08:12I'm well, I'm well.
08:13My other niece and her husband, Mr Poirot.
08:16Bella and Jacob Tanios.
08:18Jacob teaches medicine here, but sadly they're leaving us.
08:22Why is your papa taking you back to Greece?
08:25I'm going to miss you.
08:26Emily, they have closed my department at the university.
08:29But Emily...
08:30Is Charles fully prepared, do we know,
08:32or is it time for a wing and a prayer?
08:34Charles will be absolutely fine.
08:35He's always had the luck of the devil.
08:37Certainly they're well acquainted.
08:39Emily.
08:40What is it, Minnie?
08:41It's two o'clock, dear.
08:42It's time.
08:43Oh, give them to me then.
08:46Would you care to see the boat, Mr Poirot?
08:49Oh, I certainly would.
08:50Oh, good.
08:51You too, children.
08:52Come on.
08:53Yes, come on.
08:55When did John Granger last give you a thorough check-up, Emily?
08:58Why?
08:59Do I look ill?
09:00Far from it.
09:01Which leads me to ask why you take these useless liver capsules.
09:05I think that's Emily's business, Dr Tanios.
09:08Not yours.
09:09Now, ladies and gentlemen,
09:10great silence for the Mayor of Keswick.
09:13Ladies and gentlemen,
09:15I'm sure you'd all like to join me
09:19in wishing Charles Arundel
09:23the very best as he prepares to make his bid
09:26for the world's water speed record.
09:30Godspeed, sir.
09:32Godspeed.
09:33And good luck.
09:36Good luck, Hansel.
09:38Good luck, Hansel.
09:39You can do it.
09:44We'll never manage it.
09:45We must try.
09:47That was him, I think.
09:49Oh, Harry, quick, come on.
09:53Mr Poirot!
09:55Mr Poirot!
09:56Mr Poirot!
09:57Mr Poirot!
09:58Oh, God, it's not him, that.
10:00You take no notice of him, Mr Poirot.
10:02Poirot, you may think we're odd.
10:04People do, you know.
10:05But we are the trip sisters.
10:07Only that isn't what's odd.
10:09You must stop that boat.
10:12Aye, madame, mais pourquoi?
10:14Because something dreadful is about to happen.
10:17We came as quickly as we could.
10:19We had a message at lunchtime from the General.
10:23Aunt Emily's father, dead, 30 years or more.
10:26Not dead, just living in another place.
10:29He sent us to you.
10:32But how did you, he, know Poirot was coming here?
10:35Bush telegraphed.
10:36Superb in these parts.
10:38It's all water and blood leaching into it.
10:43Out there, on the lake.
10:46A crime?
10:47A force of darkness.
10:49You've got to stop it.
10:51But I can do nothing, madame.
10:53It is not in my power.
11:03Oh!
11:17He's started his run up.
11:33Charles Annanbrook is entering the vision mile.
11:37Now.
11:41Five seconds.
11:5215 seconds.
11:5720 seconds.
12:03Oh, my God!
12:04Oh, my God!
12:05Oh, my God!
12:07Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!
12:09Oh my god!
12:10He is safe.
12:37If the man was there your brother, he is safe.
12:40Until the next time.
13:01Hello, croc.
13:03Yes, yes.
13:04Very brave you to take so long.
13:05Calm down now.
13:06I'm sorry.
13:08No, no, no, no, no.
13:09Allow me restings.
13:10Dog, you will sit.
13:12All right.
13:16Bon.
13:17You are very clever.
13:18Bon.
13:19Merci.
13:20Good.
13:21A welcome was warm indeed from Monsieur Bob,
13:23Madame Wilhelmina.
13:25May I introduce Dr. Granger, an old friend of the family.
13:30Monsieur, a doctor?
13:31Good to meet you, Poirot.
13:32How do you do?
13:33How do you do?
13:35Welcome to Little Green House, gentlemen.
13:37Merci.
13:44Bob would like to show you something.
13:57C'est magnifique, ça.
13:59Hastings, what make of dog is this?
14:02Fox Terrier.
14:03No, Charles.
14:04I will not give you more money.
14:06That boat has already cost me a small fortune.
14:09Now, look here, Aunt Em.
14:11I'd do anything to keep this project alive,
14:13and I won't allow anybody, not even you, to stand in my way.
14:19Good evening, gentlemen.
14:20A family discussion.
14:21We have them all the time.
14:22Oh, and by the way, if you're in the market
14:24for a burnt out speedboat, you'll
14:26find one in the boathouse.
14:28Ah, good evening, gentlemen.
14:30This was supposed to be a celebration,
14:33but I fear it may prove more of a wake.
14:48No, no, Monsieur le Doctor.
14:50It is the hot needle in the joints,
14:52not the hot coals within the flesh.
14:54Here, between the fingers, you see?
14:57Touch of rheumatism, I should think.
14:58Why not ask your doctor to look you over?
15:00No, but if I ask, he will find, and suppose
15:01there is nothing there?
15:03Then he won't find.
15:04But if he does not find, how can I be sure that he has looked?
15:09Is it time, Isabel?
15:11Silence, silence.
15:13A visitation.
15:20Welcome, friend.
15:26Welcome.
15:31I, General Julius Arundel, bring messages from the other side.
15:50Where is Hercule?
15:54I must speak with Hercule.
15:56With Hercule?
16:01The message is from M.P.
16:07There is an M.P. in your life, Hercule.
16:14Oui, Marie Poirot, she was my grandmother.
16:17She says you have been lucky.
16:20But luck seldom strikes twice at the same door.
16:27This afternoon, down by the lake, the danger receded.
16:31Yes, but only to gather its strength.
16:35I see it move on.
16:41I find it smirking.
16:45Emily!
16:49Why I put up with this nonsense, I shall never know.
16:52The devil is she saying?
17:04It is Greek.
17:06She says you have all been warned.
17:22I just wondered if you were having trouble sleeping.
17:35So you awakened me to inquire?
17:37That is friendship indeed, Hastings.
17:42I'm sorry, Poirot.
17:43If it was her business at dinner, the general hauling out your granny like that,
17:47I mean, how did he know?
17:50Regard, mon ami.
17:58There is a J.H. in your family past.
18:03Yes, my Uncle Jack.
18:06What does he say?
18:08He says you are to go back to your room and leave me in peace.
18:15Right.
18:19That's amazing, Poirot.
18:23Alas, it is guesswork, mon ami.
18:27It would be strange not to find a James or John or a Jack in the English family.
18:31And so it is in Belgium with him for Marie.
18:34Yes, yes, I suppose so.
18:37But what about those evil forces?
18:39They are in the mind of Isabelle Tripp, mon ami, and nowhere else.
18:43And yet, and yet there is no smoke without a fire.
19:13Ah!
19:44What is it?
19:45What's happened?
19:49Go and get Father.
19:50Go on, quickly.
19:51Father, wake up!
19:53Auntie!
19:54What the hell is going on?
19:55Is there a party or something?
19:57We heard someone.
20:01Charles.
20:02Aunt Emily.
20:03Auntie.
20:06Auntie.
20:07Don't touch her.
20:08Auntie.
20:10Auntie.
20:12Don't touch her.
20:14Stay here, children.
20:31Alexis.
20:33She's not dead, is she?
20:36She is alive.
20:37Look at this.
20:38Bob's ball.
20:39She must have stood on it and lost her balance.
20:42Hmm.
21:05Oh, Mr. Poyer.
21:06Thank you so very much for coming.
21:08Emily has been asking for you.
21:12I keep going over it in my mind, Mr. Poirot.
21:20I mean, did I step on Bob's ball?
21:23It's unlike him to leave it there.
21:27Perhaps it is not animals who trouble you, madame,
21:30but also the human beings, both alive and dead, perhaps.
21:36You don't mean Isabel Tripp could be right, surely?
21:40And I'm really in danger?
21:42Alas, it is possible, madame.
21:46Then it can only be for my money.
21:53What would you do, Mr. Poirot, in my position?
21:59Have I the family hoping to gain from my death?
22:06Emile, I would make a new will without delay,
22:12leaving all to a good friend that I could trust.
22:16And would you tell this friend?
22:18No, no, no, no, pas du tout.
22:20But I would tell to all those named in the old will
22:23that they were in need no longer.
22:25Wouldn't that anger them?
22:26Oui, bien sûr.
22:29But they would make certain that no accident befell me,
22:33hoping that one day I would change my will again
22:36and favor them.
22:40I like that.
22:43I like that very much, Mr. Poirot.
22:54Un medicament, docteur?
22:56Yes, Poirot, ex-protein for Emile's liver.
22:59That's for that she has the capsules?
23:01Gimmicks from a local herbalist.
23:03I've thrown them away.
23:04Good morning, Emile.
23:06I brought you your extra.
24:05Mr. Poirot, I'd like a word with you in private.
24:09In the garden, perhaps, Madame Tanios?
24:12Oh, no, no, it's too risky.
24:15I'll call on you at tea time at the motorboat club.
24:28Dismiss your wordsworth.
24:30The poet of these parts, he annoys me, his things.
24:34Clearly, he is a slave to depression,
24:36but you know what cheers him on, Emile?
24:38A good wine, a large beefsteak,
24:40the company of a woman who is enchanting?
24:42No, a daffodil who is beside the lake, beneath the trees.
24:49Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
24:54Over there, Madame.
24:58Good afternoon, Madame.
25:00I'll not read about the bush, Mr. Poirot.
25:02Charles and Teresa, they've been scrounging money
25:04off Aunt Emily for years.
25:05And just lately, she's begun to say no, and quite right, too.
25:08Please, calm yourself and sit down, Madame.
25:14That fall was no accident, Mr. Poirot.
25:16She was pushed by one of them.
25:18I know it!
25:19But if my husband knew I was accusing him, he'd...
25:22He'd...
25:23You fear him, Madame?
25:25No, no, forgive me.
25:27I'm safe here, at least.
25:29Why here?
25:32People like Jacob aren't welcome at the motorboat club, Captain,
25:35if you get my drift.
25:36Comment?
25:38He's different.
25:40Foreign.
25:42Mais moi aussi.
25:43Yes, but you're famous, Mr. Poirot.
25:47However, safe or not, I'd rather we kept this meeting to ourselves.
25:51Of course, Madame.
25:58Hello, Auntie.
25:59Morning, Aunt.
26:00You feel glorious?
26:01Oh, what a lovely day.
26:04Roses are looking perfect.
26:06Three visits in as many days.
26:09I am honored.
26:10Oh, you are looking so much better, Aunt Em.
26:14The result, perhaps, of changing my will.
26:21Good heavens.
26:23I never thought to see you both lost for words.
26:31You've changed your will?
26:34Yes, dear.
26:35I'm cutting my family off without a penny.
26:38But if we don't marry, who the hell does?
26:40Why do you want to do a thing like that?
26:42What have we done to you, anyhow?
26:43You've threatened me, Charles.
26:45I won't allow anyone to stand in my way, remember?
26:49Oh, that was no threat, it was a joke.
26:51But what about the silver service you promised me?
26:53Does that go to someone else now?
26:54The paintings, Aunt Em.
26:55You always said that one day the paintings would be mine.
26:57Hello, Little Greenhouse.
27:00Wilhelmina, is Emily there?
27:02I would like to speak to her.
27:08Yes?
27:10Jacob.
27:13I would like us to meet, Emily.
27:14I'm worried about you.
27:16Good night.
27:27Question all my decisions.
27:30I've got it written down.
27:35Don't question everything I have to say.
27:47First, you tell me how you are.
27:51Do you really want to know?
27:53I feel tired, Jacob.
27:55And ancient.
27:58Which is why I suppose I keep snapping at many.
28:02The one person who stands by me, no matter what.
28:06She knows you don't mean it.
28:10Well, I never.
28:12Look at that.
28:14Love, do you think?
28:17Let us hope so.
28:19He's a good man, a good doctor.
28:22You say that in spite of his coldness towards you.
28:26How generous you are.
28:29I, too, have noticed your weariness, Emily.
28:32I want you to try this.
28:35The recipe has been in my family 200 years.
28:39Quite new, then, for Greeks.
28:44Jacob, do you think someone is trying to kill me?
28:49Emily, who would do such a thing?
28:52Mr. Poirot seems to think it's possible.
29:05Sir?
29:07Mr. Poirot?
29:08Mr. Poirot?
29:12There's a gentleman to see you, sir.
29:14He is outside.
29:16Then ask him to come in.
29:18Rather not, sir.
29:19He's not a member.
29:23I am not a member.
29:25It's Dr. Tanios, sir.
29:29And, of course, he is not famous.
29:39Monsieur?
29:41Why are you frightening Emily, Mr. Poirot?
29:44When have I done such a thing?
29:46You speak of designs upon her life.
29:48From duty, monsieur, to warn her.
29:51Of a fantasy woven by Isabel Tripp.
29:54I do not speak of a fantasy, monsieur.
29:57I speak of a possible crime against Aunt Emily.
30:00And I am not alone in my fears.
30:02Who else believes this?
30:05I merely say that I am not alone.
30:06But you mention no name because there is none.
30:09Very well.
30:11In the interest of my family and their peace of mind,
30:13please do not speak to Emily again.
30:21I don't like him either, Poirot.
30:24Quite so.
30:26If you please, Hastings, ask the steward to fetch our hats.
30:29Where are we going?
30:31Little Greenhouse.
30:32Little Greenhouse.
30:45I'm sorry, dear.
30:49Forgive me.
30:53It's been a long day.
30:55But you look better than you have for weeks.
30:58Doesn't she look well, Julia?
31:00Oh, yes, dear.
31:02Why does everyone lie to me?
31:05I look dreadful.
31:08Wilhelmina.
31:10In my bag, there's a bottle.
31:13Pass it to me.
31:16Not your liver capsules, dear.
31:18If I'd meant liver capsules, I should have said so.
31:22The bottle.
31:31Jacob gave it to me earlier today.
31:36It's his own preparation.
31:38I'm not going to take it, surely.
31:41It could be Greek.
31:47I don't care if it hails from the moon.
31:55I'm going to go and get it.
31:57I need some air.
32:00Yes, that'll help, too.
32:02It's a lovely evening.
32:15Leave me alone, Minnie, for heaven's sake.
32:21All I've ever tried to do is make you happy.
32:24All I've ever tried to do for Emily is my best.
32:27She knows that, dear.
32:29Deep down, she knows it.
32:31Oh, yes.
32:33You've been an absolute saint.
32:35Don't be afraid, dear.
32:39It's her spirit
32:42reaching out to the aethers.
32:48This is what we've been waiting for.
32:51This is what we've been waiting for.
32:54This is what we've been waiting for.
32:57This is what we've been waiting for.
33:01It's her spirit.
33:02You mean... dying?
33:07She's crossing over.
33:10Even as we look at her.
33:13Oh, what an adventure.
33:22Emily!
33:23Don't worry, my dear.
33:25I don't want that.
33:27Kiss me, same as you, Bob.
33:32No!
33:34No!
33:36Vitestas.
33:38Emily!
33:40If you please, madame.
33:42Mr. Porter, what's happening?
33:47Is she all right?
33:52No, madame.
33:57She's dead.
34:02Bob!
34:24Just once more, I beg of you, sergeant, please.
34:26Get the coroner to order a post-mortem on the body of Emily Harrington.
34:29I'm sorry, sir, we treat our dead with respect in these parts,
34:33especially the good souls like Miss Harrington.
34:35But her death, monsieur, there are questions that need answers.
34:38Evidence may be buried with her.
34:40I've got the only evidence I need, the death certificate.
34:43It says she died of liver failure.
34:45So amen to that.
34:59The bell tolls.
35:23For he knoweth whereof we are made.
35:26And remembereth that we are but dust.
35:30The days of man are but as grass.
35:33For he flourisheth as a flower of the field.
35:37For as soon as the wind goeth over it, it is gone.
35:42And the place thereof shall know it no more.
35:48But the merciful goodness of the Lord endureth forever and ever upon them that fear him.
35:55And his righteousness upon his children's children.
35:59Nice of you to come, Mr. Poirot.
36:02She wasn't a bad old stick.
36:05I wish I'd told her that, you know.
36:07We brought nothing into this world.
36:09And it is certain we can carry nothing out.
36:12The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away.
36:16Blessed be the name of the Lord.
36:25Stop.
36:35Pauvre chien.
36:37The rule, you greet your visitors with the agitating of the tail, hein?
36:42But not today.
36:55Don't you want one of these?
36:58Ladies and gentlemen,
37:00Miss Arundel's solicitor has asked me to read the will since I'm its executor.
37:06It's a simple document dated the 10th of this month.
37:10It leaves everything Emily owned to Wilhelmina Lawson.
37:18No.
37:20No, she mustn't.
37:23No, she mustn't.
37:25The family gets nothing, John?
37:27No.
37:31Monsieur le docteur,
37:33I should like to know if you please who benefited from the old will.
37:37Everyone in the room, in some measure.
37:39Most for a few hundred pounds.
37:42Charles, Teresa and Bella would have had the lion's share. Why?
37:48I believe that she was murdered, monsieur.
37:52And by whom, I wonder?
37:58Oh, don't think we haven't noticed you two.
38:00Huddled into corners, plotting and planning like a couple of children.
38:03Oh, don't blame them. Blame our little Belgian friend.
38:06He's the one who got her to change her damned will.
38:08Emily died of liver failure.
38:10And you helped her on her way by throwing out those liver capsules.
38:14They were useless. The triumph of advertising of a good medical sense.
38:18I know of at least one attempt upon her life.
38:23Could I have saved her?
38:26That is a question that will follow me to my grave.
38:33If you're pleased to come.
38:38The morning after the fall of Emily Arendelle,
38:42I paid a visit.
38:45And I observed in the skirting
38:49a scroing.
38:53To which a string of cord might be attached and stretched across to the manister.
38:58Like a trip? Why, you mean?
39:03I see someone.
39:05Oh, do go on, Mr. Poirot. It sounds absolutely damning.
39:09Proof positive, I'd say.
39:13This murderer makes mistakes.
39:16The first of which was to remove the scroi
39:19The scroi.
39:22Because now I know it was important.
39:29What exactly do you do up here, Charlie?
39:32Hadn't you noticed, Butler?
39:34I drive boats. Fast.
39:36Yes, but I mean, you know, what do you do?
39:40Well, up until Aunt Em died, I was a sort of investment advisor.
39:44That sounds interesting.
39:46I advised and she invested in me.
39:49Until she spoiled it all by changing her damn will.
39:52For which, Monsieur Poirot, merci beaucoup.
39:57Oh, he only did what he thought was right.
40:00Did he?
40:09Again and again I ask myself these things.
40:14The advice that I gave to her to change her will,
40:17was it good or was it bad?
40:20Could I have prevented her death?
40:22Well, if Granger's right and it was liver failure, no, you couldn't.
40:26And what is the cause of liver failure, Hastings?
40:29Old age.
40:30And I say that she was murdered.
40:35Now, in all my years, those little details have vexed me.
40:39The motive, Hastings.
40:41Eh bien, she was murdered before the changing of the will, I can understand.
40:43Let us kill her quickly, then we can inherit.
40:48But after,
40:51who will benefit?
40:54Could it have been revenge?
40:56Excuse me, sir.
40:58A lady and a gentleman wish to see you in the lounge.
41:02They have a dog with them.
41:05A fox terror, perhaps?
41:06And you don't really have any control over him.
41:10Come here.
41:12Damn dog.
41:13No idea how to conduct himself in public.
41:15It's his way of showing his grief.
41:17Oh, Bob, please behave.
41:20Bob, you will sit.
41:25Well.
41:29Hastings.
41:31Yes.
41:33Hastings.
41:39Odd request, Poirot.
41:42Wilhelmina wants you to question her.
41:44Mais pourquoi?
41:45To stop people talking about me.
41:48They will, you know, as if...
41:51Well, as if...
41:53As if you had killed Aunt Emily Arendelle in order to benefit from her will.
41:57There you are. You see, he thinks so, too.
41:59But I swear I didn't know I'd inherit her money.
42:02No one knew, madame.
42:04I myself advised this.
42:07Nevertheless, Poirot, we've had one or two ideas.
42:11Tell him what you told me, my dear.
42:15It was just that you were saying that someone had tried to kill Emily.
42:20And now with her dying...
42:24Well...
42:26The night before the accident,
42:28Bob woke me, wanting to play.
42:33Be quiet, Bob!
42:35There was someone on the landing with him.
42:39I told them to put him in his basket.
42:42Put him in his basket before he wakes the whole house.
42:46I didn't see the face,
42:48but on the dressing gown there was this monogram in gold embroidery.
42:52The initials.
42:54T.A.
42:56Theresa Arendelle.
42:58But surely not.
43:00I'm frightened, Mr. Poirot.
43:02I might be next.
43:05Your fears are easy to overcome, madame.
43:08Give your inheritance to all those named in the first will.
43:14Oh.
43:16But surely that would be going against Emily's wishes.
43:22Perhaps.
43:24Come, my dear.
43:26I think we've given Mr. Poirot enough.
43:27Food for thought.
43:29One more thing, Mr. Poirot.
43:31Madame.
43:32It's Bob.
43:35He doesn't like living with me.
43:38You, on the other hand, seem just his sort of person.
43:41Oh, madame, I could not. The responsibility.
43:44Otherwise, it's curtains for him, I'm afraid, Poirot.
43:58The walking of the dog before breakfast?
44:01No, mon ami.
44:03The routine of Bob is not the routine of Poirot.
44:05A bit more exercise.
44:07Do your power of good, Poirot.
44:09But you yourself are a keen walker, Hastings.
44:11Yes, I am.
44:13Well, then.
44:15No, Poirot.
44:17Bob is not moving in with me.
44:28Good morning.
44:30Hello.
44:32Bonjour, mademoiselle.
44:34I've been meaning to do that for six months.
44:36The rain last night rather forced my hand.
44:39Mademoiselle, this may seem to your question
44:42that is most strange, but do you have in your possession
44:45a dressing gown on which are the initials T.A.?
44:49Somewhere, yes.
44:51But I don't have it.
44:53You don't have it?
44:54Somewhere, yes.
44:56But quite frankly, I wouldn't be seen dead in it.
44:58Comment?
45:00I bought it before there were all the rage
45:02and now everyone's got them, men and women.
45:04Ah.
45:06Why?
45:08William mean I lost and saw a person wearing it
45:10on the night before the accident
45:12and it just made her fearful for her safety.
45:15But sadly, not enough to give back her money.
45:20Well, I've got my solicitor working on that.
45:21With any luck, he'll revoke the new will.
45:24And I'll be able to afford a decent place to live in.
45:36Oh, Mr. Poirot, there's a telephone call for you.
45:39Will you take it here, sir?
45:41Oui. Who wishes to speak with me?
45:43Miss Emily Arundel, sir.
45:45She is dead, mon ami.
45:47You'll have to take that up with her yourself, sir.
46:14Your cupero is here.
46:16Mr. Poirot, this is so thrilling.
46:20Isabelle is in touch with Emily at this very moment.
46:30Then please to convey to her my kind regards.
46:35She just whisked in from the ethos over our second cup of tea.
46:40She's dying to speak to you.
46:42Shall I put her on?
46:44No, no, no.
46:48Just take a message and I will call on you later.
46:52Merci.
47:15Emily knows you blame yourself for her crossing over,
47:19and she says it's very silly.
47:21And she wants to put your mind at rest.
47:24She said, why don't we hold a séance and invite all your suspects?
47:30All the people you think may have eased her path into the next world.
47:35Then when they're all gathered,
47:37Emily, through Isabelle, will point out the one responsible.
47:41The one responsible?
47:43What do you say, Mr. Poirot?
47:45I think it is an idea more splendid.
47:47Name for me, if you please, the day for this séance.
47:49Shall we say Friday night?
47:51Eight o'clock?
47:53We'll lay on some food and drink and make a proper occasion of it.
47:55Friday at eight? Excellent.
47:57You will make sure Dr. Danios is at the séance, won't you?
48:01Only, they're going back to Greece pretty soon.
48:04But not until Friday.
48:06And besides, madame, a move of house even to another country is not a cause for murder.
48:09I myself am the living proof.
48:12Then the bottle of medicine Jacob gave Emily,
48:16which she took some of the night she went,
48:19will be of no interest to you?
48:25Au contraire, madame.
48:28It interests me a great deal.
48:31Where is this bottle now?
48:33Mademoiselle Sarah,
48:35at this present time I am interested in the medicine cabinet.
48:37Is there one in the house?
48:39In the upstairs bathroom, sir.
48:41May I see it?
48:42Follow me.
48:43Merci.
48:55Every time the catcher not wants to see the bottle,
48:58he has to go to the other side.
48:59Every time the catcher not wants to see drop,
49:02and then the ball he takes back to his basket.
49:04Doesn't this fox terror amaze you, Hastings?
49:06Well, to be honest, Poirot,
49:08you didn't find his repertoire untouched, limited.
49:22Liver capsules?
49:24Dr. Granger said he threw these away, did he not?
49:26Threw the ones he could find away.
49:27She had others,
49:29always a box on the go.
49:41Dr. Jacob Tanius,
49:43Hope Cottage,
49:45Oxhead.
49:55Good.
49:57Lord, it smells absolutely lethal, Poirot.
49:59Oui.
50:01And as the sisters trip have said,
50:03some has been taken.
50:05You know this seance of theirs,
50:07what makes you think everyone's going to turn up?
50:09Because he or she who does not, Hastings,
50:11will surely prove that they have something to hide.
50:17Forgive me, Monsieur Poirot,
50:19but as a man of method,
50:21surely you cannot believe in a seance.
50:23No, no, no, monsieur, I myself do not believe,
50:25but I believe that others believe.
50:27And therefore I will use it.
50:29It's a golden opportunity, if you ask me,
50:31for the tripsisters to accuse people they don't like.
50:35But nevertheless, madame, you yourself will be present.
50:39We shall see.
50:47And you, monsieur?
50:49I believe that it is soon that you are to leave England.
50:51May I ask why?
50:53Because in Greece I can practice medicine.
50:55You could practice it here,
50:57if so-called friends would let you.
50:59Bella, John Granger cannot help what his patients believe.
51:01They believe that because your husband is a foreigner
51:03that he is the devil himself.
51:05Yes.
51:16A concoction of urine, I believe.
51:20An extraction of herbs
51:22providing many vitamins and minerals.
51:23A pick-me-up, they say, in this country.
51:26Which you gave to aunt Emily Arendelle.
51:30If you're pleased to take some.
51:34You're a man who plays games, Mr Poirot.
51:37No, I will not take.
51:39Mais pourquoi pas?
51:41It is as you said, a pick-me-up, not a put-me-down.
51:44Yes, why not, Jacob? What's wrong with it?
51:47Nothing.
51:49Then prove it to us.
51:54Non, monsieur!
52:04I believe you would have drunk.
52:08But suppose someone else has poisoned it.
