00:00:30Welcome, Sir George.
00:00:50Lady Stumps.
00:00:58Good evening, Sir George.
00:00:59Good evening.
00:01:01I'm so thankful you're here at last.
00:01:03It was a shocking night.
00:01:04How did she get straight to bed or she'll catch a chill?
00:01:07Come along, my dear.
00:01:08Good evening.
00:01:13Good evening, sir.
00:01:15Good evening, sir.
00:01:16Good evening.
00:01:17I don't know.
00:01:47Come at once.
00:01:54Nurse House, Devon.
00:01:55You need help. Urgent.
00:01:58Ariadne Oliver.
00:02:03You been here before, sir?
00:02:04Non.
00:02:05Take the scenic route along the river, shall I?
00:02:08Non, merci.
00:02:17Afternoon, ladies.
00:02:21You don't mind you, sir.
00:02:23Foreigner, see?
00:02:24Can't read a map.
00:02:25Buongiorno.
00:02:27Ma'am, I see.
00:02:41It is most kind, please.
00:02:43Grazie.
00:02:43Marge, to the U-Fastle.
00:02:45Oh, her is not speaks English.
00:02:47We made the first time this morning on the platform at Exeter, and now we are big friends.
00:02:53We explore Devon together.
00:02:55I could show you a few beauty spots, if you like.
00:02:58Come on.
00:03:06The hospital's that way.
00:03:08Don't cross the George's land, though.
00:03:10You don't like it.
00:03:11Grazie.
00:03:11Thank you, Stan.
00:03:17If you please, may we hurry?
00:03:41I believe Mrs. Oliver to be down by the battery, sir, that way.
00:04:11Oh, my God.
00:04:41Quick!
00:04:42Help!
00:04:44Help!
00:04:48Help!
00:04:51Someone!
00:04:52Quick!
00:04:55Oh, hello, Poirot.
00:04:57What is wrong with that?
00:04:59Nothing's wrong.
00:05:00I just wanted to see if someone would come.
00:05:03A lively one might have to shout.
00:05:05These woods are frightfully, don't they?
00:05:06I thought you were in danger.
00:05:08Certainly not.
00:05:09How are you, Poirot?
00:05:10Un peu énervé.
00:05:13Cher madame.
00:05:16You telegram to me that you need help.
00:05:19For this reason, I come by the express from London.
00:05:21Well.
00:05:22I do need help.
00:05:25I do need help.
00:05:25I'm most awfully worried.
00:05:27There are some very strange people here.
00:05:30I do need help.
00:05:31Very strange, indeed.
00:05:32Very strange, indeed.
00:05:33They're holding a fate tomorrow, and they thought they'd have a treasure hunt.
00:05:37And they thought, no, that's been done to death.
00:05:39So they thought they'd have a murder hunt instead.
00:05:42And they offered me a tidy sum to come and dream it up.
00:05:45Well, anything's better than writing.
00:05:47So I've been busily inventing motives and suspects and victims and so forth.
00:05:52And it costs a bob to enter, and all you get for that is the first clue.
00:05:56Good fun.
00:05:57Madame, Poirot here has arrived to Devon.
00:06:00Mais pourquoi?
00:06:00Because there's something amiss.
00:06:03I think someone's going to die.
00:06:05If there were to be a real murder tomorrow instead of a fake one, I shouldn't be in the least surprised.
00:06:15Whose idea was it, this murder hunt?
00:06:18The Warburton's, I think.
00:06:20What, the owners of the property?
00:06:21No, no.
00:06:21That's Sir George Stubbs.
00:06:24Awfully rich and awfully common.
00:06:26Bought the place a year or so ago, along with his wife,
00:06:28who's outrageously beautiful,
00:06:32but as dumb as a fish.
00:06:39The corpse will be in here.
00:06:43Sally Legg was going to do it,
00:06:44but now they want her to dress up in a turban and tell fortunes.
00:06:48So it's a girl guide called Marlene Tucker.
00:06:52Hideous child.
00:06:54Just has to sit here and read comics.
00:06:56I've written a clue on one of them,
00:06:57and flop down when she hears someone coming with this around her neck.
00:07:02Hello.
00:07:03I've brought lemonade.
00:07:04Oh, that is most kind, Miss Bruce.
00:07:07Good afternoon, sir.
00:07:08No, no, sir.
00:07:09Lady Stubbs must be rushed off her feet with all the preparations.
00:07:12I do thank her for the drinks.
00:07:13Lady Stubbs has one of her headaches.
00:07:16She's not yet up.
00:07:16I've planned every detail, and it all dovetails nicely.
00:07:24But things keep changing.
00:07:27The fortune-telling's a good example.
00:07:29I feel I'm being jockeyed along.
00:07:32Jockeyed along?
00:07:33Manipulated.
00:07:34So someone is making the suggestion?
00:07:37Rattles can't stand suggestions.
00:07:38If you suggest something, we'd do exactly the opposite.
00:07:41But I am being jockeyed along.
00:07:44And I can't figure out how.
00:07:47Tell the truth, I'm...
00:07:48I'm worried.
00:07:50Perhaps the big suggestion that he's put on,
00:07:53to which you, of course, say no,
00:07:54because it is preposterous.
00:07:56But then, an idea most trivial
00:07:59may be found to have been smuggled in.
00:08:01Yes, yes, something like that, yes.
00:08:03Who is making these alterations?
00:08:05Different people.
00:08:07It'd be easier if it were just one, wouldn't it?
00:08:09And you have told them that Hercule Poirot is coming?
00:08:12Yes, I said you'd be giving away the prizes for the murder hunt.
00:08:16Everyone's thrilled.
00:08:17Mrs. Oliver!
00:08:18Hang on, I'll walk up with you.
00:08:20All safe, sir.
00:08:24It's Michael Wayman.
00:08:25An architect.
00:08:27I'm meant to be designing a tennis pavilion.
00:08:29Do you know what he's asked for?
00:08:31A Chinese pagoda.
00:08:34Self-made men.
00:08:36Stinking with money, but with no taste whatsoever.
00:08:40For instance, look at this.
00:08:41It's quite nice.
00:08:43Of its kind.
00:08:45Well, in keeping with the house.
00:08:46But these things are meant to be...
00:08:49What's the phrase?
00:08:51Situated on an eminence.
00:08:53And here's this poor little devil tucked away in the woods.
00:08:58Perhaps it wasn't anywhere else.
00:08:59What about the grassy bank by the house?
00:09:00It's perfect.
00:09:01But no.
00:09:02A tree comes down in a gale.
00:09:05Right, such a self-made twerk.
00:09:06We'll put the folly there.
00:09:07Tidy up the place.
00:09:08Look, it's only on a yard of concrete.
00:09:09It's subsiding already.
00:09:11These people are extraordinary.
00:09:20That's Amy Folliard.
00:09:22Her people own Nass originally.
00:09:25Then she lost both her sons.
00:09:27Had to sell up.
00:09:28And yet she lives here still?
00:09:31Precisely.
00:09:32Odd or what?
00:09:34Is this the great Monsieur Poirot?
00:09:37Enchanté, Madame Folliard.
00:09:38It is kind of you to help out with our prices.
00:09:42This clever lady has contrived a most intricate problem.
00:09:45I have been admiring the house.
00:09:48I thank you.
00:09:50It was built by my husband's great-grandfather.
00:09:53There was an Elizabethan manor before, but it burned down.
00:09:56It must be hard for you to have strangers living in residence now.
00:10:01Not so many things are hard, Monsieur.
00:10:05Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll see if they have your room ready.
00:10:10What do you think?
00:10:12Comment?
00:10:12It is only one instance since I have arrived.
00:10:16Well, I've been here three days, and every time someone says something, I get the strongest
00:10:21impression they're lying.
00:10:23My intuition tells me something is wrong.
00:10:25Allah.
00:10:27I'm well aware you think me irrational.
00:10:30Madame, one course thinks by different names, huh?
00:10:33It may indeed be that you have seen something.
00:10:36It may indeed be that you have heard something.
00:10:38And it may be, if I may so put it, that you do not know what it is that you know.
00:10:45You are aware only of the result.
00:10:46And that, Madame, it is your intuition.
00:10:50Whatever it is, I feel certain someone is going to die.
00:10:54We must do something about it.
00:10:58We must do something about it.
00:10:58We must do something about it.
00:11:02Poirot, is it?
00:11:26Me?
00:11:27Welcome.
00:11:28Welcome, old man.
00:11:29Merci, monsieur.
00:11:30Yes.
00:11:30George Stubbs.
00:11:31Ah, it's a pleasure to meet you.
00:11:32I'm delighted you could come.
00:11:34Ah, yes.
00:11:35Let me introduce you to some people.
00:11:37The fortune-telling.
00:11:38Over by the Magnolia, or at the far end of the lawn, by the rhododendrons.
00:11:42What do you think?
00:11:43By the Magnolia?
00:11:44My tent cargo by the Magnolia.
00:11:46It will cause a bottleneck.
00:11:47Rubbish.
00:11:48Down at the end, please, Captain.
00:11:49What about the coconut chai?
00:11:51Yes, not too near the house, Jim.
00:11:53I've just replaced the windows.
00:11:56Fair point.
00:11:57Now, may I introduce famous gent, Hercule Poirot.
00:12:02Yes, indeed, Mr. Poirot.
00:12:04Captain and Mrs. Warburton.
00:12:05Over, Captain.
00:12:07Delighted.
00:12:07Madame.
00:12:08Yes, and now Alec and Sally Legg.
00:12:10And that's you.
00:12:12Mother.
00:12:13We'll find you a job later on.
00:12:14Watch out, Poirot.
00:12:15Sally can make a man do anything.
00:12:16What?
00:12:17Yes.
00:12:19So, come and meet the wife.
00:12:21Excuse me.
00:12:23Howdy.
00:12:24This is Mr. Poirot.
00:12:26It's our guest.
00:12:27Like that.
00:12:28Now, you chat nicely.
00:12:29Why, I go and locate some coconuts.
00:12:31Oh, fine.
00:12:32Right.
00:12:34Do you mind if I sit down, madame?
00:12:36So much walking.
00:12:39Merci.
00:12:43It's pretty, isn't it?
00:12:44Oui, Julie.
00:12:45It's an emerald.
00:12:47George gave it to me.
00:12:47He gives me lots of things.
00:12:48He...
00:12:49Devonshire is a county most pleasant, n'est-ce pas?
00:13:00It is when it isn't raining, but there aren't any nightclubs.
00:13:03Ah bon, you like the nightclubs?
00:13:04Oh, yes.
00:13:06I love music and dancing and champagne and wearing my nicest clothes and all my jewels.
00:13:14It's best to be rich, isn't it?
00:13:17Perhaps if I was not rich, I should look like her.
00:13:20Imagine.
00:13:20Tea, my lady.
00:13:23Tea is stupid.
00:13:25Perhaps our guest would like some hat here.
00:13:27Shall I be mother?
00:13:28Uh-huh.
00:13:29Is it going to be like Ascot tomorrow?
00:13:31I can wear a very big hat.
00:13:32Not quite like Ascot, dear.
00:13:35There's so much to do.
00:13:37You really should be helping out instead of staying in bed till after lunch.
00:13:41I've got a new dress.
00:13:42Oh, come and see.
00:13:43We're just having a cup of tea.
00:13:45Come with me.
00:13:46Come now.
00:13:46Oh, very well.
00:13:48Please excuse us.
00:13:52He really must have actually met with that.
00:13:55Beautiful creature, isn't she?
00:13:56Oh, wait.
00:13:57See that ring George bought her?
00:14:00Whether he's spotted she's away with the fairies, I couldn't say.
00:14:04But then he's hardly an intellectual himself, is he?
00:14:06Sir George is inside the Stocke-Saint-Cherz, I believe.
00:14:09Yes.
00:14:10Not exactly a gentleman's game, what?
00:14:13But still, you are the French.
00:14:14Good grief, no choice.
00:14:16Not with an election coming up.
00:14:19Jim, you've got to settle this.
00:14:22We agreed my attention to be at the forum by the rhododendrons is the only place.
00:14:25My wife doesn't think so.
00:14:28You're the Member of Parliament.
00:14:29Show her who's boss.
00:14:31You out of your mind.
00:14:32All right, see what I can do.
00:14:34Have you seen Amy Folliott?
00:14:37I believe that Madam Folliott is inside with the Lady Stubbs.
00:14:41She seems to be more solicitous towards her.
00:14:43Oh, yes.
00:14:44Well, she was Hattie's guardian.
00:14:47Before I walked her up the aisle, of course, her people were in Sugar in the Caribbean.
00:14:53But there was a typhus epidemic and both her mother and her father lost their lives.
00:14:57Rotten bloody luck, actually.
00:14:59But Amy Folliott was a friend of the family and took young Hattie under the wing.
00:15:02Well, Hattie's commendable.
00:15:04She's a damn good egg, actually.
00:15:07Ah, Amanda, there you are.
00:15:08I want you to go and order some wire fencing straight away, please.
00:15:11I don't think you're allowed to pen people in the tea tent, sir.
00:15:14Not the tea tent, dear.
00:15:16No, no, no.
00:15:16Over there in the woods where they're coming through, they just keep wandering in.
00:15:19Who are?
00:15:20Trespassers.
00:15:22Foreigners.
00:15:23Cutting through, you see, Poirot, through to the ferry.
00:15:25Girls in little short trousers.
00:15:27Oh, we the car.
00:15:29The trousers of the girls, sir.
00:15:30Exactly.
00:15:31I have a gentleman on the telephone with coconuts.
00:15:34Right, the coconuts, yeah.
00:15:36Right, sir.
00:15:37What has he got?
00:15:38As many as you like, sir.
00:15:39Look at them all, buzzing around.
00:15:42Busy, busy bees.
00:15:45The world's going to pot and they're holding a garden party.
00:15:49In fait du gendarme.
00:15:52But that is an activity honoured by time, monsieur.
00:15:54The apathy of these people.
00:15:57They're all feeble-minded.
00:15:59Do you know what I'd like to see done in this country?
00:16:02I'd like to see every feeble-minded person put out.
00:16:07Don't let them breed.
00:16:09Finish them off.
00:16:10All the simpletons.
00:16:11How would you do that, monsieur Legge?
00:16:14Oh, I'm a chemist.
00:16:16I could do it easily.
00:16:22Any theories?
00:16:24Everybody seems to me to be completely normal.
00:16:27You're trying to be amusing.
00:16:28Perhaps that is not the right word.
00:16:31Lady Stubbs, it appears he's subnormal.
00:16:33Alec Legge, abnormal.
00:16:34Oh, he's all right.
00:16:35He's just having a nervous breakdown.
00:16:36But everyone seems in a state of agitation.
00:16:39Which I believe is characteristic of the preparations for a fate in England.
00:16:43Mrs. Oliver, your corpse is here.
00:16:46Ah, hello, Marlene.
00:16:49Remember, a guide is honest, reliable and can be trusted.
00:16:53Can you come and have a look at her costume?
00:16:56I was going to be stabbed.
00:16:57Now she says I'm going to be strangled.
00:17:00That's not fair.
00:17:02But this gentleman knows all about murder.
00:17:03Why don't you ask him?
00:17:07Seen a lot of killings, have you?
00:17:10One or two mamas, anyway.
00:17:12Any sex maniacs?
00:17:13I like sex maniacs.
00:17:16I've read about them.
00:17:16I do not think you would like to meet one.
00:17:19If someone leaves a woman's body in the woods with no clothes on, dead-like, he's liable to be a sex maniac, isn't he?
00:17:27That would be an assumption most reasonably.
00:17:30That's what my granddad said.
00:17:31But he's daft.
00:17:33So no one believes him.
00:17:34Marlene, come and try your costume.
00:17:37Marlene, come and try your costume.
00:18:07You permit, madame?
00:18:30I'm so sorry Hattie dragged me off earlier.
00:18:33It was rude of her.
00:18:33Lady Stubbs is a little in common on the Capricious.
00:18:40Hattie is a dear, good child.
00:18:44I know her very well, you see.
00:18:47Because she was once your ward.
00:18:51My husband died in Flanders.
00:18:54My eldest son was killed on active service against the Pashtun.
00:18:57And to cap a sorry tale, my youngest son took up aviation and crashed, trying to break the record to Nairobi.
00:19:08Well, that meant three lots of death duties.
00:19:13Well, Ness had to be sold.
00:19:17I was very unhappy and I was glad of the distraction of having the young person to look after.
00:19:26For a time we lived in Paris.
00:19:28My, we had fun.
00:19:29I became very fond of Hattie.
00:19:34All the more so when I realized that she was not terribly capable.
00:19:43Thank heaven there was no money to speak of.
00:19:46Had she been an heiress, I'd have to think how vulnerable she might have been.
00:19:50But her father died bankrupt.
00:19:53And we felt ourselves fortunate when George Stubbs came along.
00:19:59It was most fortunate indeed.
00:20:02George Stubbs is a good man.
00:20:05Oh, I know he's a complete Bulgarian.
00:20:07But he is fundamentally decent.
00:20:10I think that you have made the arrangement most prudent, madame.
00:20:14I am not like the English or Romantic about these matters.
00:20:17Et voici, here you are, still at Nassau's.
00:20:20Sir George lets me live in the lodge.
00:20:24And I count myself very lucky.
00:20:26Indeed, you have found for yourself a haven most peaceful, madame.
00:20:31A haven from the storm.
00:20:33Yes.
00:20:36The world is a wicked place, Monsieur Poirot.
00:20:40There are very wicked people in it.
00:20:50What do you want me to put on this poster?
00:21:11Madame Zuleika or Romany Lee, Gypsy Queen?
00:21:13No-one likes gypsies round here.
00:21:15Better make it Madame Zuleika.
00:21:17There's a snake around her neck.
00:21:20Snake in the grass.
00:21:22I had a snake once.
00:21:24But it swallowed the rabbit.
00:21:25Had to chop it up.
00:21:27Quite good fun.
00:21:28Do you still paint, Michael?
00:21:31Like you used to?
00:21:32Sold out, Sally.
00:21:33Thirty pieces of silver.
00:21:35Everyone has to earn a living.
00:21:36What?
00:21:37What in Parliament, Jim?
00:21:38That's not really an honest living, now is it?
00:21:41What?
00:21:42Waste of time, Parliament.
00:21:43Don't be such a rotten old sulk.
00:21:44Why?
00:21:45Alec has a point.
00:21:46What do you think, Mrs. Oliver?
00:21:48Should all politicians be eliminated?
00:21:50Eliminated?
00:21:51I don't know.
00:21:53They make ever such good suspects as a rule.
00:21:56They certainly do.
00:21:57I mean, just look at my husband.
00:21:59You couldn't get more shifty if you tried.
00:22:05Excuse me, I'm going to bed.
00:22:07Patty?
00:22:07I feel strange.
00:22:10Darling, darling, we're at dinner.
00:22:13What?
00:22:14What?
00:22:21Oh, Lady Stubbs has gone early to bed.
00:22:26Malheureusement, oui.
00:22:28She suffers, perhaps, from the mental confusion.
00:22:31Oh, no.
00:22:32She knows exactly what she's doing.
00:22:38What do you think?
00:22:40I think, madame, that I take a little walk.
00:22:51Monsieur?
00:23:04Do you want the ferry, sir?
00:23:06Oh, no.
00:23:07No, merci.
00:23:08I stay at Nass.
00:23:10Oh.
00:23:11She's up at Nass, you are?
00:23:13Oui.
00:23:14I work for the Folliats many a year.
00:23:17None of them left now, of course,
00:23:18except old mum up at the lodge.
00:23:20Met her, have we?
00:23:21Madame Folliats?
00:23:22Oui.
00:23:23Bad luck, Urzad.
00:23:25Trouble with her husband.
00:23:27Trouble with her sons.
00:23:29They were all right when they was boys.
00:23:31Always down here crabbing.
00:23:32But when they grows up...
00:23:34Master Henry, he died for his country.
00:23:37Fair dues, but Master James.
00:23:40He was wild.
00:23:43One of they as couldn't go straight.
00:23:45Boy, he was vexing, Master James.
00:23:48Aeroplanes.
00:23:49Flying.
00:23:51That's no way to die.
00:23:52No.
00:23:53No, indeed.
00:23:56Hello, what is your opinion of Sir George?
00:23:58Oh, pardon.
00:23:59Monsieur...
00:24:00John Myrtle.
00:24:02Monsieur Myrtle.
00:24:04Oh, no.
00:24:05No.
00:24:05Merci.
00:24:07Gentleman been powerful rich.
00:24:08Wife's a fine lady from London.
00:24:11There.
00:24:12I remember the night they arrived.
00:24:14Worst gale we ever had.
00:24:15Big tree down in the woods made a rare mess.
00:24:19Where the folly it now stands.
00:24:21Ah, damn silly place for it, too.
00:24:24Never happening Squire's Day in London nonsense.
00:24:27It is sad, is it not, that the time for the Folliard family it is finished?
00:24:30Always be folly at certain ass.
00:24:34Monsieur?
00:24:36Oh, Mum shall be here, bain she?
00:24:38Night, sir.
00:24:40Bonne nuit.
00:24:40Oh, my God.
00:25:10Now, here are some new ideas for the pagoda.
00:25:31What do you think?
00:25:32See?
00:25:40What is it, darling?
00:25:45It's from my cousin Etienne.
00:25:46He's coming here.
00:25:48He's coming in his yacht.
00:25:50Oh.
00:25:51No.
00:25:52Oh, my, I see.
00:25:59Who is this Etienne de Souza?
00:26:01A distant cousin.
00:26:02He says he's coming here today.
00:26:04Well, it's a pity he's dropping by in the afternoon of the fay, but never mind.
00:26:07We shall make him welcome.
00:26:08No, we can't.
00:26:09We can.
00:26:10Oh, I need to lie down.
00:26:11I have a headache.
00:26:12Hattie, dear.
00:26:13Take some aspirin, and then it will go away.
00:26:16Shall I bring you some?
00:26:16No.
00:26:18Sweetheart.
00:26:18Excuse me.
00:26:20Oh, Hattie, darling.
00:26:21I don't want to see Etienne.
00:26:22I don't like him.
00:26:23He's wicked.
00:26:24He does bad things.
00:26:31No, Rogers.
00:26:32Put the urn on the left.
00:26:34Right on, Mum.
00:26:35The left.
00:26:36Oh, the left.
00:26:38Oh.
00:26:39Hello, Poirot.
00:26:41Bonjour, madame.
00:26:43What a beautiful day.
00:26:44Yes.
00:26:45And isn't it nice to have Lass lived in again?
00:26:50We were all so afraid it would become an hotel.
00:26:52So many houses have.
00:26:54AA three stars and what have you.
00:26:57Ghastly.
00:26:57I must say, George Stubbs has done wonders for the place.
00:27:04He's got good blood in him somewhere.
00:27:07Father a gent and mother a barmaid.
00:27:09That's my guess.
00:27:13I see she got her way with the fortune teller's tent.
00:27:16No, no, no, no, no.
00:27:28No, you're trespassing.
00:27:29You can't come through here.
00:27:32Do you understand?
00:27:33The youth hostel is that way.
00:27:35This is private land.
00:27:37Hop it.
00:27:39This won't do.
00:27:40Uh, Poirot.
00:27:45Might I meet you in the study?
00:27:49What's that, Hattie?
00:27:50Yes, I'll shut it.
00:27:57Well, I put a padlock on the gate.
00:27:58They come through the wood.
00:28:00I don't seem to understand the world I'm talking about.
00:28:01They just jabber on in Dutch or French or whatever.
00:28:05One of them was, I think, Italian.
00:28:07Well, precisely, yes.
00:28:08Foreign.
00:28:13Uh, Poirot.
00:28:15He wants me a question with the benefit of all your experience.
00:28:18Most certainly, monsieur.
00:28:19I will try.
00:28:23Is Michael Wayman after my wife?
00:28:29Monsieur?
00:28:30Oh, she's behaving damn oddly.
00:28:32All these headaches and this constant lying down.
00:28:36And every time I look at her, there's Michael Buddy Wayman hovering nearby.
00:28:43Sorry, I'm just being pathetic.
00:28:46But, um...
00:28:51If you should see her getting up to anything, I mean, anything at all,
00:28:59you will let me know.
00:29:02You look ridiculous.
00:29:22Everybody this way.
00:29:23Come along.
00:29:25Gather round, please.
00:29:26Now, I declare the garden fate open.
00:29:31Bravo!
00:29:34Mother, let us separate.
00:29:37We shall watch with the peel down.
00:29:44Take me a ride.
00:29:45What is it?
00:29:47Hold up, Britishman.
00:29:48Oh, Mr. and Mrs. Hopper.
00:29:51I guess it's just like old times.
00:29:54Isn't it the greatest success?
00:29:56I've restocked with more abundance.
00:29:58Just one small bomb would do it.
00:30:01Yes, sir, you look lucky.
00:30:11It's for charity, sir.
00:30:12Children's facts in roof.
00:30:14Hold up, please.
00:30:15Hold quiet.
00:30:17You've won.
00:30:18Well done.
00:30:19Congratulations, sir.
00:30:22Here's the first clue.
00:30:23Thanks.
00:30:24It's a photograph.
00:30:25Work out what it is, and you'll get the second clue.
00:30:29Good luck.
00:30:29I see you're enjoying yourself.
00:30:36It is most horrible, is it not?
00:30:38Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new champion.
00:30:41Little girl, a petit cadeau pour toi, eh?
00:30:47Anything?
00:30:48No.
00:30:49As far as I can tell, they're all just enjoying themselves, which is a little galling.
00:30:52Oh, good to see you.
00:30:54Bonjour, I'm right there.
00:30:55You come also to the stage.
00:30:57Oh, it is so fun.
00:30:58My friend comes later, and then we go by bus to Torquay.
00:31:02You remember my friend?
00:31:04Oh, yeah, I saw it this morning.
00:31:05Oh, yes, the man was rude.
00:31:08Now he is polite.
00:31:13Ah, when was that voice?
00:31:16Someone's made a speedy recovery.
00:31:23Madame, that which you wear on your head, it is a creation most beautiful.
00:31:28Like something from the Royal Ascot.
00:31:29Huh?
00:31:30Like something from the Royal Ascot, huh?
00:31:30Like.
00:31:30Like.
00:31:30Like.
00:31:31You will make a long journey, possibly by train.
00:31:39You will make a long journey, possibly by train.
00:31:52I see a luxurious train.
00:31:56And great riches will be yours at the end of your quest.
00:32:03Madame Malava told me that originally you were to be the victim, but that you had been
00:32:07snatched from her by the occult.
00:32:09I wish I was the body.
00:32:12Oh, this is exhausting.
00:32:13Is it four o'clock yet?
00:32:15I want my tea.
00:32:16What do you think?
00:32:28Je crois que vous avez raison.
00:32:30There is something that is incongruent.
00:32:32Yes.
00:32:32And a murder hunt would be awfully convenient if you wanted to conceal a murder, wouldn't
00:32:36it?
00:32:37But a murder man arm requires a victim.
00:32:39So who is this victim?
00:32:40This is what we must discover.
00:32:42I say, seen Lady Stubbs, she's meant to be judging the fancy dress.
00:32:46No.
00:32:47What's the woman playing at?
00:32:48I should have to get someone else.
00:32:50Has anyone seen Lady Stubbs?
00:32:59Sally.
00:33:12Excuse me.
00:33:16Is this the house of Sir George Stubbs?
00:33:18Oui, d'accord.
00:33:19I am Etienne de Souza.
00:33:21Ah.
00:33:22Enchanté, monsieur.
00:33:24I am Hercule.
00:33:25Bravo.
00:33:26De Souza, is it?
00:33:29George Stubbs.
00:33:31Good day to you?
00:33:31Yes, a jolly busy one, actually.
00:33:33You know, welcome to Nass, and delighted, delighted to meet you.
00:33:38My cousin Hattie is here?
00:33:40Yes, yes.
00:33:42Yes, she is.
00:33:43You, you will dine with us this evening, I hope.
00:33:46Can we put you up?
00:33:47I will sleep on my yacht, the Esperance.
00:33:50How would the devil be my wife?
00:33:52You, you hang on here, and I'll be straight back.
00:33:57So it is some time since last you saw your cousin?
00:34:00I have not seen her since she was 14 years old.
00:34:03Ah.
00:34:04Then her parents sadly died, and she was sent abroad.
00:34:07As a child, she promised to have good looks.
00:34:11She is a woman most beautiful, monsieur.
00:34:14And that is her husband?
00:34:17Lady Stubbs.
00:34:18Have you seen Lady Stubbs?
00:34:19Have you seen my wife, Lady Stubbs?
00:34:20Does anyone see Lady Stubbs?
00:34:24I've seen Lady Stubbs having big hats and the sunglasses.
00:34:27She seems to have been completely disappeared.
00:34:33I feel certain someone has come to die.
00:34:37Lady Stubbs?
00:34:38No.
00:34:39I saw a blast of Gowt's show.
00:34:41The world is a wicked place.
00:34:43It's your world.
00:34:44Yes, it is.
00:34:45Have you seen Lady Stubbs?
00:34:45Hattie?
00:34:47Have you seen Lady Stubbs?
00:34:48Lady Stubbs?
00:34:49Lady Stubbs, you have a seat.
00:34:50I have you.
00:34:52Lady Stubbs, she has disappeared.
00:34:54They look everywhere.
00:34:55She is gone.
00:34:55Well, where can she be?
00:34:57Anyone think of the boathouse?
00:35:07It's locked.
00:35:08To make sure nobody finds the body by accident.
00:35:11It's rather brilliant, don't you think?
00:35:14Marlene!
00:35:15It's Mrs. Oliver.
00:35:16I'm coming in.
00:35:22Marlene, you can get up.
00:35:23It's only me.
00:35:26Marlene?
00:35:29Marlene?
00:35:40Is that what you have feared has happened, Mother?
00:35:43Elle est morte.
00:35:45You don't mean...
00:35:46You don't mean...
00:35:47Oh...
00:35:48Marlene!
00:35:50Marlene Tucker, local girl.
00:36:04Garotty's with a length of rope.
00:36:07Doctor says she's still warm.
00:36:09Dead no more than an hour.
00:36:10So the killer isn't far away?
00:36:13I dare say.
00:36:14But who'd want to murder a 14-year-old child?
00:36:16Johnny goes with Kate.
00:36:20Georgie pinches hikers in the wood.
00:36:23So, George Stubbs.
00:36:25I'll need a room, sir.
00:36:27And I'll want to question both yourself and Lady Stubbs, I'm afraid.
00:36:30Yes, of course.
00:36:31But my wife seems to have disappeared from view.
00:36:34We'll find her eventually.
00:36:35But I doubt she'll...
00:36:36She'll be much help.
00:36:38I feel awful.
00:36:41Put that in capital letters.
00:36:43Awful.
00:36:44Because, you see, it's my murder.
00:36:47I organised it.
00:36:49I don't usually drink, but...
00:36:51Poirot gave me this for the shock.
00:36:54Did you say Poirot?
00:37:00I don't suppose you remember me, Monsieur Poirot?
00:37:03Most assuredly.
00:37:13It is the young Sergeant Bland,
00:37:15whom I met by this now since 14, 15 years,
00:37:19in Gloucestershire.
00:37:22What a memory.
00:37:24I cannot for the life of me remember
00:37:25why I should ever have wanted the Yugoslavian wife
00:37:28of a biochemist to be the victim.
00:37:29And I wasn't expecting a man in a yacht.
00:37:31To what man in a yacht?
00:37:34He sent a letter to Lady Stubbs,
00:37:36and she was frightened.
00:37:37Frightened of what?
00:37:38Frightened of him.
00:37:40And now she's disappeared.
00:37:42Can you tell me anything about a man in a yacht?
00:37:47Maybe I'm sure.
00:37:48Etienne de Souza?
00:37:50The cousin of Lady Stubbs.
00:37:53Who was afraid of this Etienne de Souza?
00:37:56Do you know why?
00:37:56I heard her say he was a bad man.
00:37:59Do you think her fear was real?
00:38:01Well, if it was not, she is an actress very clever.
00:38:05You came ashore in a launch at Nascam Quay.
00:38:09Did you see a small wooden boathouse on your way?
00:38:13Yes, and had I known it belonged to Nass House,
00:38:16I should have come ashore there, but I did not.
00:38:19Did you see any signs of activity?
00:38:21In the boathouse?
00:38:22No.
00:38:23Originally, the part of the victim was to have been played by Sally Legg.
00:38:28But one evening, Sally told all our fortunes,
00:38:31and she was thought to be strikingly good at it.
00:38:33Someone suggested one of the girl guides could be the corpse instead,
00:38:36so Sally became Madame Zuleika.
00:38:38Was Marlene Tucker happy to be the victim?
00:38:41Oh, she was thrilled.
00:38:44I noticed a plate and a glass.
00:38:46Yes, she had some jam tarts and a fruit drink.
00:38:49I took the tray down myself.
00:38:50Lady Stubbs asked me to.
00:38:52Right.
00:38:53What time, exactly?
00:38:54Oh, let's see.
00:38:56I'd say about quarter past four.
00:38:57Where were you between a quarter past four and five o'clock?
00:39:01How do you pin it down so exactly?
00:39:04Miss Brewis saw Marlene at 4.15.
00:39:07Lady Stubbs asked her to take down some food and drink to the boathouse.
00:39:10Lady Stubbs asked her to do that.
00:39:11I hardly think so.
00:39:13Lady Stubbs's mind revolves entirely around herself.
00:39:16Marlene could die of malnutrition for all she'd care.
00:39:19At a quarter past four, Marlene Tucker was alive and well.
00:39:23Oh, yes.
00:39:23I called out and she opened the door.
00:39:25She was fine.
00:39:26Moronic, but fine.
00:39:29Do you enjoy working for Sir George?
00:39:32I can't imagine doing anything else.
00:39:35Now, you listen here, Blunt.
00:39:37Now, you've simply got to do something.
00:39:39My wife has been missing for two hours.
00:39:42I am going half mad with worry.
00:39:44I've got men looking into it.
00:39:46We do have a murder to deal with, sir.
00:39:47Well, let's hope it's not two, then.
00:39:50This is a murder investigation.
00:39:52So, would you answer my question, please, sir?
00:39:54Where were you this afternoon?
00:39:56I went to the pub across the river.
00:39:59Working for these lunatics has driven me to drink.
00:40:03How would you know your cousin?
00:40:05My second cousin.
00:40:07I don't know her well.
00:40:08And yet, you just thought you'd pay her a surprise visit?
00:40:11Hardly a surprise visit, Inspector.
00:40:14I wrote to her three weeks ago from St. Marlowe.
00:40:18I said I hope to arrive in Nascam around about today.
00:40:22It is hard to be specific on a sailboat.
00:40:25Did she reply?
00:40:25To be frank with you gentlemen,
00:40:28I don't think Cousin Hattie has the mental capacity for writing letters.
00:40:32Though I understand she has grown into a lovely woman.
00:40:35Haven't you seen her?
00:40:37No, I have not.
00:40:39Where is she?
00:40:41She's probably just gone for a walk.
00:40:42She's a grown woman.
00:40:44Rather a helpless one, by all accounts.
00:40:46Yes.
00:40:47When she wants to be.
00:40:49Tell me everything you know about Lady Stubbs.
00:40:52How would you describe her?
00:40:53I describe her as ornamental.
00:40:59Like a trefoil or a crockett.
00:41:01Pretty, but useless.
00:41:05Backward.
00:41:06Backward?
00:41:08No.
00:41:09Cunning little minx.
00:41:12She didn't leave my boat.
00:41:14The road was closed.
00:41:16I've written she's still on the property somewhere, sir.
00:41:18Why?
00:41:19Do you want me to stop her hopping across a fence and making off across country?
00:41:22Madam was wearing a bias cut chiffon dress with double rouleau straps, whatever that is.
00:41:31A large red hat and shoes with three inch heels.
00:41:35I don't think she'll be doing no cross country run.
00:41:38She could have changed her clothes.
00:41:39Her maid says nothing's missing.
00:41:42No suitcase packed.
00:41:44Nothing.
00:41:52Lady Stubbs.
00:41:53Lady Stubbs.
00:41:54Lady Stubbs.
00:41:55Lady Stubbs.
00:41:56Lady Stubbs.
00:41:57Lady Stubbs.
00:41:58Lady Stubbs.
00:41:59Lady Stubbs.
00:42:00Lady Stubbs.
00:42:01Lady Stubbs.
00:42:02Lady Stubbs.
00:42:03Lady Stubbs.
00:42:04Lady Stubbs.
00:42:05Lady Stubbs.
00:42:06Lady Stubbs.
00:42:07Lady Stubbs.
00:42:08Lady Stubbs.
00:42:09Lady Stubbs.
00:42:10Lady Stubbs.
00:42:11Lady Stubbs.
00:42:12Lady Stubbs.
00:42:13Lady Stubbs.
00:42:14Lady Stubbs.
00:42:15Inspector Bland
00:42:22Poirot, he should have prevented the murder of Marlene Tucker
00:42:25The least he can do is to find the killer
00:42:28Si vous permettez, I would like to help
00:42:30Anything?
00:42:35No, sir, I'm sorry
00:42:36Sir George, there is something I should like to ask you
00:42:40Did your wife receive a letter from Mr. D'Souza
00:42:44Three weeks ago saying he was coming to this country?
00:42:47No, we only heard the man was arriving this morning
00:42:49Why does she dread seeing him so much?
00:42:53Aye, blessed if I know
00:42:55Monsieur, exactly what did she say?
00:42:59She said, he kills people
00:43:02Why, she couldn't actually say who D'Souza was supposed to have killed
00:43:09Or where, or why
00:43:10You know, but don't tell me he arrives here off his yacht
00:43:13And immediately strangles a girl in my boathouse
00:43:15It doesn't make any sense
00:43:16Sir George, the door to the boathouse
00:43:18It has the Yale lock, oui?
00:43:20Yeah
00:43:20So no one may enter without a key?
00:43:23So if you permit me to ask
00:43:24There are how many keys?
00:43:27Three
00:43:27One was a clue in the murder hunt
00:43:29Concealed in some foliage at the top of the garden
00:43:31The second key was in the possession of Mrs. Oliver
00:43:34Where's the third key?
00:43:35Ah
00:43:36It's here
00:43:38There
00:43:42It always is
00:43:46Now, do you see what that means?
00:43:48The only people who could have got into the boathouse
00:43:50Were firstly the person who completed the murder hunt
00:43:53And found the key, which didn't happen
00:43:55Secondly, Mrs. Oliver
00:43:57Or someone to whom she gave her a key
00:43:59Which she says didn't happen
00:44:01And Poirot was with her
00:44:02Right
00:44:02Or thirdly, someone who Marlene herself admitted to the room
00:44:06Ah, but that could be anyone
00:44:07Out of two or three hundred people, couldn't it?
00:44:09No, Sir George
00:44:10Because when the girl heard someone to approach
00:44:13She was to lie down and pretend to be dead
00:44:15She was to be discovered by the person
00:44:17Who had found the final clue
00:44:18The key
00:44:19Therefore, the only other people whom she could have admitted
00:44:22When they called to her from the outside
00:44:23Were those people who had organised this murder hunt
00:44:26Yourself?
00:44:27Lady Stubbs?
00:44:29Miss Brewis?
00:44:30Mrs. Oliver?
00:44:30Who else did Marlene know, Sir George?
00:44:33All right
00:44:33Um
00:44:34Alec and Sally Legg
00:44:37Michael Wayman
00:44:39The Warburton's
00:44:42Oh, and, uh
00:44:44Mrs. Folliott
00:44:45Sorry
00:44:52It is as you said to me yesterday, madame
00:45:03A world that is very wicked
00:45:07Well, it's true
00:45:10This morning, Lady Stubbs
00:45:15She also spoke of wickedness
00:45:16I shouldn't pay too much attention to the things Hattie says
00:45:20No, Sir, everyone tells to me
00:45:21She has always had the mental age of a child
00:45:24As you know, madame
00:45:27Such people are not always accountable for their actions
00:45:30In a fit of rage
00:45:31They might even kill
00:45:35No!
00:45:37Hattie was a gentle, warm-hearted girl
00:45:39She would never have killed anyone
00:45:40Never!
00:45:42Then can you think who might have killed Marlene Tucker?
00:45:46No, I can't
00:45:46What can you tell me about the local people?
00:45:50Captain Warburton?
00:45:51He was working hard at the fete all afternoon
00:45:53Mrs. Warburton?
00:45:55Enid Warburton runs the girl guides and the Gymkhana
00:45:58She's clearly beyond reproach
00:46:00And the Leggs, what do you know about them?
00:46:04They're just holidaying here
00:46:05Madame Legg, she is a lady most attractive, n'est-ce pas?
00:46:09Vivacious
00:46:10Is it possible, do you think that at any time
00:46:14Sir George Stubbs felt the attractions to Madame Legg?
00:46:17Good heavens, no
00:46:18Sir George is extremely fond of his wife
00:46:21Was it you or Lady Stubbs
00:46:23Who asked Miss Brewers to take jam tarts down to the girl in the boathouse?
00:46:26Goodness, all these questions
00:46:27I remember Miss Brewers collecting some cakes
00:46:32But I don't recall that anyone asked her to do so
00:46:34You were serving in the tea tent between four o'clock and five o'clock
00:46:37I believe Mrs. Legg came in there at that time for her tea
00:46:40No, she didn't
00:46:41She was dressed as Madame Zuleika, remember?
00:46:46She never set foot in the tea tent
00:46:47Sorry it's so late, Mrs. Legg
00:46:53Please, tell me when you last saw Lady Stubbs
00:46:57I think when I came out of my tent to go and have tea
00:47:01I remember her hat
00:47:04Massive, wasn't it?
00:47:06When did you take your tea?
00:47:09Four o'clock
00:47:10In the tea tent?
00:47:14Was it crowded?
00:47:16Yes, awfully
00:47:17Coach party from Torquay
00:47:19Did you see anyone you knew there?
00:47:23Not a soul
00:47:24Good morning, sir
00:47:37Is there any sign of Lady Stubbs?
00:47:42No, I do not believe so
00:47:43Monsieur Hendon, tell me if you please
00:47:47For how long a time have you been here, the butler?
00:47:50Just over a twelve-month, sir
00:47:55Merci
00:48:00There's an invitation from the Lord Lieutenant of the county
00:48:06And Hodgson's written about the state of the milking shed
00:48:10Damn, the milking shed's to hell
00:48:13Where is my wife?
00:48:17You would just don't disappear, do they?
00:48:33Utter, utter fool
00:48:34Wouldn't I have possessed him to marry her?
00:48:38Eh bien, it has been a marriage unfortunate
00:48:40Disastrous
00:48:41All she ever does is spend his money
00:48:44Why, this year alone she's bought two minks and a Russian ermine
00:48:48He's such a...
00:48:49He's such an innocent
00:48:52And she's a sly, scheming, clever cat
00:48:56You say
00:48:59Is and not was
00:49:02She isn't dead
00:49:04She's gone off with another man
00:49:06She likes men
00:49:08She's already made a fool of Michael Weyman
00:49:11But Monsieur Weyman, he designs a tennis court
00:49:13Tennis?
00:49:15She wouldn't know a double fork from a fruitcake
00:49:17Weyman tried it on and she gave him the heave-ho
00:49:20Because she's found someone else, so he has too
00:49:22And if Monsieur Weyman no longer pursues Lady Stubbs
00:49:25What is it about her that makes you so suspicious of her?
00:49:29She meets someone on the sly, Poirot
00:49:31She slips out of the house and into the woods
00:49:35She was out the night before last
00:49:36All that yawning and saying she's too tired for dinner
00:49:39Half an hour later she's slipping out by the kitchen door
00:49:41She's an alley cat, Hattie Stubbs
00:49:43It's an unpleasant thing to have to face
00:49:51But I'd say we've some kind of psychological lunatic
00:49:54Wandering freely in Devon
00:49:57He won't be local
00:49:58Somerset, perhaps
00:50:00Peut-être
00:50:01Therefore, a question, if you please
00:50:05How is it possible for a strange man
00:50:07To have gained access into the boat house?
00:50:10Easy
00:50:12She came out
00:50:15She got bored
00:50:17Girls do, trust me
00:50:18The most likely thing
00:50:21Is that Marlene saw Hattie Stubbs being murdered
00:50:24So she had to be disposed of too
00:50:26Crush her windpipe
00:50:28Drag her back inside
00:50:29Flick the ale, easy
00:50:31Well, Sir Josh Stubbs
00:50:33Believes that his wife, she is still alive
00:50:35Men will believe anything
00:50:38Look, I like George Stubbs
00:50:41He and his wife have done wonders for Nass
00:50:44Amy Folliott has sponsored them, of course
00:50:47And she has influence in the county
00:50:49Why, there have been Folliott's here since Tudor times
00:50:52I've always been Folliott's at Nass
00:50:55She is free
00:50:58She'll be free
00:50:59YouTube
00:51:00And she's free
00:51:00Ok, we'll be free
00:51:02Let's screw
00:51:03And if you're asleep
00:51:04visit there
00:51:05She's free
00:51:06Pray anywhere
00:51:07Shazen
00:51:08Or
00:51:08Not
00:51:09After

00:53:24Biddy Fox has a secret then.
00:53:28Oh, Malin, Malin.
00:53:30Hello, she spies.
00:53:38She looks and she learns.
00:53:40But something, it is not important.
00:53:51Wow.
00:53:53Your brain, it is so slow.
00:53:55Is it hers?
00:54:04Let me see.
00:54:06Christ, it's a hat.
00:54:08Where is she?
00:54:08Where's my wife?
00:54:09I don't think we'll find her here.
00:54:11I tell you where you will find her.
00:54:12Well, you're too bloody stupid to have looked before.
00:54:14And where's that, sir?
00:54:15Well, that fellow's yacht, that Etienne de Sousa.
00:54:20Damn coincidence, isn't it?
00:54:21I mean, he turns up and all bloody hell breaks loose.
00:54:24I'm sorry.
00:54:25I don't know.
00:54:34I don't know.
00:54:34I don't know.
00:54:34I don't know.
00:55:05I have a warrant, search or vessel.
00:55:25Do you think I'm hiding my little cousin on board?
00:55:28I don't think anything, sir.
00:55:29Rather as I suspected.
00:55:35You have left something, mother?
00:55:50You made me jump.
00:55:52Yes, I have.
00:55:54Or must one rendezvous when one can?
00:55:56I don't know what you mean.
00:56:03Poirot is not a husband, alas, but he knows that they can be jealous.
00:56:10I doubt mine is.
00:56:15I hoped when I came down here that everything would get better.
00:56:22But it hasn't.
00:56:25Alec's just...
00:56:28Well...
00:56:30He's still Alec.
00:56:32I don't want to live like this.
00:56:39No.
00:56:41Have a look here, sir.
00:56:42Got something?
00:56:43Yes, sir.
00:56:44This is the jacket the gentleman was wearing yesterday.
00:56:48And look what I found in the pocket.
00:56:51What is it?
00:56:52It is the ring worn by Lady Stubbs at the time of disappearance.
00:56:56It matches Sir George's description.
00:56:57How do you come to have this, Mr. D'Souza?
00:57:00I've no idea.
00:57:03I've never seen it before.
00:57:05Well, maybe you have, maybe you haven't.
00:57:06But it's grounds enough for me to arrest you.
00:57:08For what may I ask?
00:57:10For being foreign?
00:57:11For the murder of Harriet Stubbs.
00:57:13For the...
00:57:15You have no proof at all.
00:57:18This is meant to be a civilized country.
00:57:21We like to think so, sir.
00:57:23Hoskins.
00:57:24Is this what you were looking for, madame?
00:57:28Oh, yes.
00:57:32Thank you, Monsieur Poirot.
00:57:36I must have dropped it.
00:57:38Oui.
00:57:49We've got him, Poirot.
00:57:51Her ring is in the pocket of his blazer.
00:57:54With that and all the hearsay evidence, I reckon I can get a conviction.
00:57:57For the murder of Lady Stubbs, whose body has never been found?
00:58:01Well, it was dumped in the river.
00:58:04Floated out to sea.
00:58:05It'll turn up in time.
00:58:07No, I'm sure she was killed here at Nass.
00:58:11If I closed the roads, put a man at the quay, checked all the buses and trains, there was never a sign of her.
00:58:16No, she was dumped in the river, near where we found her hat.
00:58:21And Marlene Tucker saw it happening.
00:58:24So, probably, D'Souza fixed her too.
00:58:27It is not Etienne D'Souza.
00:58:30Why not?
00:58:31How did he know where to find her on his boat?
00:58:34It had only just arrived.
00:58:36No.
00:58:37It does not make any sense.
00:58:45Bonjour, Monsieur Maudel.
00:58:47Do we want the ferry, sir?
00:58:48Non, merci.
00:58:49I returned today to London.
00:58:52Poor fella.
00:58:53Why must he do that?
00:58:57Because Poirot, he has failed.
00:58:59Because...
00:59:01Poirot is unbassil.
00:59:04Poirot is unbassil.
00:59:19Poirot is unbassil.
00:59:49Poirot is unbassil.
00:59:51Asked Mademoiselle Brewis to take the jam tarts to Marlene Tucker in the boathouse.
00:59:57If not, why does she say that she did?
01:00:03Is it possible that Mademoiselle Brewis found Marlene Tucker already dead?
01:00:08In which case, why does she not report this?
01:00:10She is a woman most sensible.
01:00:12Unless she killed her, of course.
01:00:13No, pardon me.
01:00:14him. Why did Etienne D'Souza lie about writing to his cousin three weeks before his arrival
01:00:22at Nassau's? Is it perhaps an attempt to make his visit to appear natural or expected?
01:00:31Certainement, Sir George receives him amicably, although he does not know him. Attendez. Sir
01:00:39George does not know Etienne D'Souza, but his wife, who does know him, does not see him.
01:00:48So is it conceivable that the Etienne D'Souza who arrives at the fête is not the real Etienne
01:00:56D'Souza? When is his trial? Three weeks. Now the jury will take one look at D'Souza and they
01:01:07will convict him. This man will hang. Usually the villain's the husband.
01:01:12Mais je sais. This husband, he has the alibi. There are 200 people willing to testify that
01:01:18Sir George never left the fête. But there is someone, someone who knows what happened to
01:01:24Hattie Stubbs. You think the body's still there? It appears that she has been thrown into the
01:01:31river, but it is possible that she is in the grounds. There isn't a priest's hole or anything
01:01:37like that, is there? No, I asked this question to Monsieur Michael Wayman. He tells to me that
01:01:41the house is not of the correct period for this. All the same, there might be something
01:01:45in the structure that only the family know about. But the only member of the family who
01:01:50is left is Madame Folliot. Well, she knows everything there is to know about Nassau, doesn't
01:01:56it? It is a true thing that you say. She knows everything. For example, she knows straight
01:02:06away that Hattie Stubbs is dead. She knows, even before the death of Marlene Tucker, that
01:02:11the world, it is a place most wicked. What is there that she does not know?
01:02:17be afraid to come out of the sky that I leave the spotlight for this?
01:02:28Not at all.
01:02:38Mr. Lake?
01:03:04You are leaving Nas' house?
01:03:07Yes.
01:03:08Sally's cleared out.
01:03:11No.
01:03:11With that bastard Weyman.
01:03:13I do not think she will be as happy with him as she would be with you.
01:03:17You think so, do you?
01:03:18Yes, I do, monsieur.
01:03:19And shall I tell you what else I think?
01:03:21I think that your opinions so extreme have made you impossible to live with.
01:03:25Your wife, Sally Legg, she is a woman of loyalty, but you have pushed her too hard, monsieur.
01:03:31You are a man who is very lonely, very desperate.
01:03:35And if you had told your wife, Madame Sally, just how you are so lonely and how you are so desperate, she would never have left you for Michael Weyman.
01:03:43You don't know how right you are.
01:03:45Oui.
01:03:45I've been an absolute dummy.
01:03:49Oui.
01:03:49It's politics, eh, Poirot?
01:03:51It's hardly worth losing your wife for.
01:03:53No.
01:03:54I do not think they are, monsieur.
01:03:55No.
01:03:55What should I do?
01:03:58I think what you should do, monsieur, is to find Madame Sally, but immediately ask her to forgive you and beg her to come back.
01:04:04And Hercule Poirot, he is always right, monsieur.
01:04:07Do you know, I think I will.
01:04:09Bon.
01:04:09And I'll go to the bloody Chelsea Arts Club, and I'll get hold of Michael Weyman, and I'll throttle the ponce with his ridiculous tie.
01:04:15Bon.
01:04:15And if you please, monsieur Legg, do not actually kill him, huh?
01:04:39Bonjour, Madame.
01:04:45I feel very sorry for George.
01:04:52The strain has been very great.
01:04:55So, so George still believes that his wife, she is alive?
01:05:01I think he's given up hope.
01:05:03He does not say so, but...
01:05:06Of course, I've hardly seen him lately.
01:05:10He spends most of his time in London.
01:05:12He's drinking too much.
01:05:18I am very tired, monsieur Poirot.
01:05:21I have not much to live for.
01:05:24But you have your home.
01:05:28Monsieur, I am grateful to George Stubbs for renting me the lodge, but I do rent it.
01:05:33I pay him a yearly sum for it, with a right to walk in the grounds.
01:05:38The grounds of my ancestral home.
01:05:41Oh, you sweet desolée.
01:05:42Madame, I do not mean to offend.
01:05:44I mean only to say that this is a place so beautiful.
01:05:48It is, in fact, one of the most beautiful places I have seen in England.
01:05:50It has about it the great peace and the great serenity.
01:05:58Yes.
01:05:59But is there still the same peace and serenity now, madame?
01:06:02Why shouldn't there be?
01:06:03Because the murder, it is gone unavenged, and blood, it has been spilled.
01:06:07And here is the smell of it, the reek of it, drifting across the lawn on the breeze.
01:06:11I think that is quite enough.
01:06:12Madame, until the curse is lifted, there will be no peace at nas.
01:06:15You know this is true.
01:06:18You know a great deal, perhaps, everything about the murder.
01:06:20You know who killed the girl.
01:06:22You know why.
01:06:23You know who killed Hattie Stubbs.
01:06:24And you know, perhaps, where the body yet now lies.
01:06:27I have only my suspicions.
01:06:30And to speak out on mere suspicion would be wrong.
01:06:34Wicked.
01:06:34As wicked as what was done here at his now since five weeks?
01:06:37As wicked as the killing of a girl who is only 14 years of age?
01:06:40Don't talk about it.
01:06:41It's over and done.
01:06:42It's finished.
01:06:42No, madame.
01:06:43It is never finished with a murder.
01:06:46Jamais.
01:06:53Mademoiselle, where is Monsieur Medel?
01:06:55Grandad.
01:06:57He's dead.
01:06:59Grandad?
01:07:01So Monsieur Medel was your grandfather?
01:07:07Hello, your grandfather, he was very old, huh?
01:07:10He didn't die because he was old.
01:07:12He died because he was drunk.
01:07:14He slipped when getting off the boat one night and fell in.
01:07:18Washed up two days later at Helmuth.
01:07:21And how do you call yourself?
01:07:23Gertie Tucker.
01:07:23A relation to Marlene Tucker?
01:07:27Her was my sister.
01:07:29So Monsieur Medel was her grandfather also?
01:07:33He got cross at her when she got the make-up.
01:07:36The make-up, Gertie?
01:07:37Loads of lipstick she had, and scent, hid them in her nickel jar.
01:07:42Lovely they was.
01:07:44Tell to me, Gertie, how did Marlene get the money to buy these things?
01:07:48Her see goings-on in the woods.
01:07:52Marlene will promise not to tell and they give her money.
01:07:55But who would give her money?
01:08:05At last, at last.
01:08:09Poirot, he begins to see.
01:08:11Come at once.
01:08:21Nass House Devon.
01:08:24Mais pourquoi?
01:08:25Because it is important, madame.
01:08:28I should hope so.
01:08:31I was due to give a talk.
01:08:32That's why I'm dressed in this ridiculous outfit.
01:08:34Instead, I ran for the express train.
01:08:36What was the subject of your talk?
01:08:38My writing.
01:08:39Awfully pleased not to have to give it, as a matter of fact.
01:08:41I mean, what does one say about how one writes books?
01:08:43You just think of an idea and force yourself to write it.
01:08:46What am I going to say for the other 59 minutes?
01:08:50Madame, your hat.
01:08:51C'est magnifique.
01:08:54Oh, thank you.
01:08:56It's jolly expensive.
01:08:58Hats are really a symbol nowadays, aren't they?
01:09:00They don't keep your head warm or shield you from the sun
01:09:04or hide your face from people you don't want to meet.
01:09:05I mean, they're just ornamental.
01:09:09Always you give to me the ideas.
01:09:14Tell to me, madame.
01:09:15In your murder hunt, you have as one of your suspects a biochemist.
01:09:19Do you know a biochemist, personally?
01:09:22Yes.
01:09:23I know Alec Legg.
01:09:24And you also know his wife, Sally Legg.
01:09:26But she is not Yugoslavian, is she?
01:09:28So what gives to you the idea of having a wife who is Yugoslavian for the victim?
01:09:33I don't know.
01:09:34All those youth hostilities, perhaps.
01:09:36All those girls in shorts.
01:09:37But, madame, I am most interested in how you write.
01:09:41You are a woman who is most sensitive.
01:09:44You are affected by the atmosphere, by the personalities that surround you.
01:09:47These are the inspirations for your brain that is so fertile.
01:09:52So tell to me, madame, when you first designed your murder hunt,
01:09:55did you intend for the body to be discovered in the boat house?
01:09:59No, I did not.
01:10:00I intended it to be found in that pavilion, tucked away among the rhododendrons.
01:10:06But then someone, I can't remember who, began insisting it should be found in the folly.
01:10:13Well, that was obviously bonkers.
01:10:16I mean, anyone could have strolled in there quite casually.
01:10:19I couldn't agree to that.
01:10:20So you accepted the boat house instead.
01:10:23And that was the technique that you described to me on that first day.
01:10:27Remember the jockeying along?
01:10:30One last thing, madame.
01:10:33Do you remember telling me that there was a final clue on one of the comics that was given to Marlene Tucker to read?
01:10:39Was it something like,
01:10:40Biddy Fox has a secret den?
01:10:43Good gracious me, no.
01:10:45But nothing silly like that.
01:10:47No, it was a perfectly straightforward clue.
01:10:49Look in the hiker's rucksack.
01:10:52Et pas tant.
01:10:53The comic on which that was written would have to be taken away.
01:10:56Why?
01:10:57Because a media at moins points to the murderer.
01:11:03Inspector Bland,
01:11:04you must telephone to Scotland Yard, too sweet.
01:11:06Why?
01:11:07Because Etienne de Souza, he is innocent.
01:11:10No, he is a man of great wealth.
01:11:12So what?
01:11:13So,
01:11:14what is his motive?
01:11:17Let me put to you the facts.
01:11:19Facts?
01:11:19What facts?
01:11:20The fact that old John Murdel was the grandfather of Marlene Tucker.
01:11:24The fact that Lady Stubbs always wore those particular types of floppy hat.
01:11:28The fact that Marlene Tucker had cosmetics hidden in the back of her drawer.
01:11:32And the fact that Mademoiselle Bruce maintains it was Lady Stubbs who asked her to take refreshments to the boat house.
01:11:40You call those facts, do you, in London?
01:11:42You prefer the hard evidence, such as the body of Lady Stubbs?
01:11:46Hello, I know where it is hidden and who hid it there.
01:11:50So if you please, to make that telephone call to Scotland Yard.
01:11:53And the one who is going to be living in the back of her house, I knew it was the right part of her house.
01:11:59We are neither of them living in the back of her house.
01:12:04The most beautiful thing in the back of her house is the one who is sitting in the back of her house.
01:12:08Why did you ask me to come here?
01:12:27I think that you know, madam.
01:12:36Good evening, sir.
01:12:38Good evening, madam.
01:13:09He knew too much.
01:13:12He knew all about the Folliard family.
01:13:13He knew about your husband.
01:13:14He knew about your two sons who died abroad.
01:13:18Only they did not.
01:13:22Did they?
01:13:24Henry was indeed killed in action on the Northwest Frontier.
01:13:27But James?
01:13:29No, he did not die as you said.
01:13:31James, who was so brilliant, so wild.
01:13:37James, who was also to you so shaming.
01:13:41John Modell told me of him, madam, and the records have been checked.
01:13:47What did he do to that young dairymaid when he was only, what, 14 years of age?
01:13:54You know.
01:13:55No way.
01:13:57And where did you send him, madam?
01:14:06South Africa.
01:14:07When?
01:14:08You said you never saw him again.
01:14:11You heard that he had died in an aeroplane crash.
01:14:16You moaned.
01:14:17You said your prayers.
01:14:18But what then has happened, madam?
01:14:24He came back.
01:14:26Why?
01:14:26Because your son, he made the pretense of his own death.
01:14:29And then you learned that he is pursued by the police in several countries.
01:14:34And you agree, and he must have been so persuasive, you agree to give him one more chance.
01:14:40Just one?
01:14:41Why?
01:14:44I believe that you are a woman most sincere.
01:14:49And most moral.
01:14:50And I believe that it was from the best of your intentions that you did everything you could to give to your son, who was wayward, a new life.
01:15:03At that time, you had in your charge a young girl who was sadly subnormal.
01:15:09Oh, but she was richer, so rich.
01:15:11She was worth a fortune.
01:15:14But you gave it out that her parents had lost all their money,
01:15:16and you were advising her to marry a man who was wealthy and several years older than herself.
01:15:25And who could disbelieve you?
01:15:27Your lawyers in Paris, where you were living at that time, handled everything.
01:15:31And Hattie Stubbs, when she came of age,
01:15:35would sign whatever you put in front of her.
01:15:38And so, in the end,
01:15:41Sir George Stubbs,
01:15:44the new identity assumed by your son James,
01:15:47became a man who was very rich,
01:15:49rich enough to buy Nass House.
01:15:53And there your plans, they ended, eh, my man?
01:15:57Your son, he was a worthy man.
01:15:59He had his ancestral home.
01:16:01And Hattie Stubbs,
01:16:02well,
01:16:04you could take care of her.
01:16:07Samash!
01:16:08I never dreamed.
01:16:10No, you never dreamed that your son James,
01:16:12he was already married.
01:16:14He was married to a girl he met in Trieste.
01:16:17A girl of the criminal underworld,
01:16:18who was determined not to be parted from your son.
01:16:21He's a wicked, wicked creature.
01:16:23But your Hattie
01:16:24knew no one
01:16:27in England.
01:16:29Good evening, Hattie.
01:16:32Come along, my dear.
01:16:35When they arrived back at Nass House
01:16:37after their marriage,
01:16:38all of the servants who were new,
01:16:39including the butler,
01:16:40barely caught sight of her that first evening.
01:16:42And the following morning,
01:16:46the woman that they met
01:16:47was not Hattie Stubbs,
01:16:48no, but this Italian
01:16:49made up to look like Hattie,
01:16:51behaving as Hattie,
01:16:52but Hattie,
01:16:53the real Hattie,
01:16:54was dead.
01:16:58She was killed the first evening
01:16:59she arrived here
01:17:00by your son,
01:17:01with,
01:17:01by your son,
01:17:02mother,
01:17:03James Folliatt.
01:17:04And this plan,
01:17:08it was so clever.
01:17:11The force Hattie Stubbs
01:17:12over the years
01:17:13would respond to treatment.
01:17:15She would get better and better
01:17:16and make the full recovery.
01:17:21But this Italian
01:17:21did not convince
01:17:22Mademoiselle Bruis,
01:17:23who was herself
01:17:27in love
01:17:27with Sir George.
01:17:30But then
01:17:31something
01:17:32unforeseen
01:17:33occurs.
01:17:35A cousin of Hattie,
01:17:37Etienne de Souza,
01:17:39writes to her
01:17:40a telegram.
01:17:41Oh, no.
01:17:43Telling her
01:17:43that he is visiting England
01:17:44on a yachting trip.
01:17:46Is it, darling?
01:17:47I know,
01:17:47he would not be deceived
01:17:48by an imposter.
01:17:49But Hattie's strange,
01:17:52is it not?
01:17:53That although
01:17:54the thought
01:17:54had he crossed my mind
01:17:55that this Etienne de Souza
01:17:56may not be
01:17:57Etienne de Souza,
01:17:59it never occurred
01:17:59to Poirot
01:18:00that Hattie's Stubbs
01:18:02was not
01:18:03Hattie's Stubbs.
01:18:07And there was
01:18:08a further complication.
01:18:10John Modell
01:18:12used to
01:18:13what is the word?
01:18:18Chatter
01:18:18to his granddaughter,
01:18:21Marlene Tucker.
01:18:22If someone
01:18:23leaves
01:18:24a woman's body
01:18:25in the woods
01:18:25with no clothes on,
01:18:27he's liable
01:18:27to be a sex maniac,
01:18:29isn't he?
01:18:29Well, nobody else
01:18:30would listen to him
01:18:31because they thought
01:18:31he was a little daft.
01:18:34But he told
01:18:35to his granddaughter,
01:18:36Marlene,
01:18:36that Sir George
01:18:37was in fact
01:18:39Master James.
01:18:44Hello,
01:18:45Marlene Tucker.
01:18:47She blackmailed
01:18:48Sir George
01:18:48for her silence.
01:18:50But in so doing,
01:18:52she signs
01:18:53her death warrant.
01:18:56They arrange it
01:18:58so that Marlene Tucker
01:19:00is killed
01:19:00and Hattie's Stubbs
01:19:01goes missing.
01:19:03In such a way,
01:19:05the suspicion
01:19:06and Hattie's throne
01:19:06unto her cousin,
01:19:08Hattie and D'Souza.
01:19:09Hence the references
01:19:10to him being a man
01:19:12most wicked.
01:19:13Delighted.
01:19:14And Sir George,
01:19:16he plants
01:19:17the evidence.
01:19:20This
01:19:21lady Stubbs
01:19:23was to disappear
01:19:24permanently.
01:19:26After a period
01:19:28of mourning,
01:19:29Sir George
01:19:29would rejoin her
01:19:30in Italy
01:19:31where they
01:19:32would again
01:19:32be married.
01:19:34All that was
01:19:35necessary for her
01:19:35now
01:19:36was to double
01:19:37the parts
01:19:38for a little
01:19:38more than
01:19:39a period
01:19:39of what,
01:19:3924 hours.
01:19:42When Hercule
01:19:43for Hattie's Stubbs
01:19:45takes the bus
01:19:46to Exeter
01:19:47and travels
01:19:48back in the
01:19:49company of a
01:19:50youth hosteler
01:19:50she meets
01:19:51on the train.
01:19:53You don't mind
01:19:53these, sir.
01:19:55She books
01:19:55into the hostel
01:19:56with this Dutch girl.
01:19:59But by tea time,
01:20:01she is here,
01:20:03back at her window.
01:20:07After dinner,
01:20:08she retires
01:20:09early to bed.
01:20:10I feel strange.
01:20:11But Mademoiselle
01:20:13Bruyce sees her
01:20:14to slip out
01:20:15of the back door.
01:20:18She spends
01:20:19the night
01:20:19in the youth hostel,
01:20:21returns to Nass
01:20:22for breakfast,
01:20:24after which
01:20:25she spends
01:20:26the rest of the
01:20:26morning in her
01:20:27room with
01:20:28her headache.
01:20:31She then
01:20:32stages her
01:20:33appearance
01:20:33as a
01:20:36trespasser.
01:20:37Come!
01:20:38Come!
01:20:39Here!
01:20:40Sir George
01:20:41shouts to her
01:20:42from the window
01:20:42of his wife.
01:20:44What's up, Hattie?
01:20:45He turns
01:20:46and even
01:20:47pretends
01:20:47to speak
01:20:48to her inside.
01:20:50She is not
01:20:51there.
01:20:52No one
01:20:53would ever
01:20:53dream
01:20:53that these
01:20:54two women
01:20:55were the same
01:20:55person
01:20:56and no one
01:20:57did.
01:20:59And so
01:21:00the final
01:21:01act of this
01:21:01drama
01:21:01is staged.
01:21:04A little
01:21:05before four o'clock
01:21:06on the day
01:21:06of the fate,
01:21:07Hattie Stubbs
01:21:08tells the
01:21:08Mademoiselle
01:21:08Brewis to
01:21:09take the
01:21:10jam tarts
01:21:10to Marlene.
01:21:12Now,
01:21:12she does
01:21:12this because
01:21:12she is afraid
01:21:13that Mademoiselle
01:21:14Brewis may
01:21:14do this
01:21:14independently
01:21:15and that
01:21:15would be
01:21:15fatal to
01:21:16their plans.
01:21:17She slips
01:21:18into the
01:21:18tent of
01:21:20the
01:21:20fortune teller
01:21:21while
01:21:21Sally
01:21:22leg is
01:21:22out as
01:21:23she has
01:21:24a secret
01:21:24rendezvous
01:21:25with
01:21:26Michael
01:21:26Wayman.
01:21:29She
01:21:29goes through
01:21:30the back
01:21:30into the
01:21:30pavilion
01:21:31where she
01:21:31changes
01:21:31into the
01:21:32costume of
01:21:32a hiker
01:21:33which she
01:21:34kept in
01:21:34her
01:21:34rucksack.
01:21:41Forho,
01:21:41he has
01:21:42found
01:21:42the buckle
01:21:42from the
01:21:43straw.
01:21:45And that
01:21:45is why
01:21:45the pavilion
01:21:46was not
01:21:46used for

01:26:06Right
01:26:06a good scheme.

01:26:10worked.
01:26:12It was like

01:26:14of your schemes.
01:26:16It was cruel
01:26:17and criminal
