00:00:00My lady?
00:00:10Right, let's get this ruddy thing over with, huh?
00:00:14Your invitation, Sir Anselm.
00:00:18The Right Honorable Lord Spive MP and Lady Spive.
00:00:23Sir Beatle and Lady Tavistock.
00:00:25The Right Honorable Sir Antony Morgan MP, the Foreign Secretary, Lady Celia Morgan.
00:00:33Mr Harold Quering MP, Parliamentary Undersecretary to Sir Antony.
00:00:39Monsieur Hercule Barrault.
00:00:44His Honour, Judge Richard Stump, AC.
00:00:49Monsieur.
00:00:51Mr Waring.
00:00:51All the beginnings are delightful.
00:00:58The threshold is the place to pose.
00:01:02Goethe.
00:01:03Ah.
00:01:05Countess, Patron, Abdelhoff.
00:01:08Sir Antony as a man was busy.
00:01:11Oh, yes.
00:01:12Always on the go.
00:01:13Sir, what is this officer?
00:01:16Excuse me.
00:01:23I feel you do not embrace your role, Chief Inspector.
00:01:43Against the advice of Poirot, you have arranged this whole operation.
00:01:46Pleased to do it correctly.
00:01:48My men are in position, Mr Poirot.
00:01:51C'est bien.
00:01:52Because there is the greatest of danger.
00:01:54The jewels, the paintings, the very presence of Poirot himself.
00:01:57This Marasco.
00:01:59He shall most surely come.
00:02:02Look at this.
00:02:03Vanquishing the Hydra.
00:02:05One of the labors of Hercules, Hugo von Dresch.
00:02:08Most of the labors have been pinched over the past six months.
00:02:11Somebody must be correct.
00:02:12Oh, for God's sake, shut up, man.
00:02:16Wait outside.
00:02:17I'm actually a police sergeant.
00:02:18I'm actually His Majesty's Foreign Secretary.
00:02:20Wait outside.
00:02:21Sir.
00:02:23Waring, you should read this.
00:02:29Wretched woman.
00:02:30Who wants carnage?
00:02:31I think you understand what's required.
00:02:42I mean, I thought this business had been addressed.
00:02:45It may be necessary for you to leave the country for a while.
00:02:52I imagine it will, sir.
00:02:56Lie doggo somewhere.
00:02:57Um, comfortable, but remote.
00:03:00I'll make sure you get a bit of pocket money.
00:03:03I don't want your money, sir.
00:03:05Good man.
00:03:12Mademoiselle Lucinda, you look magnificent.
00:03:14I'm terrified.
00:03:16Do I look terrified?
00:03:17No, of course not.
00:03:18Why should you be?
00:03:19This is bait.
00:03:22Me.
00:03:23I'm bait.
00:03:25Oui, certainement.
00:03:26The thief, Marusco, he will be drawn to this place tonight.
00:03:30But you are in no danger, Mademoiselle.
00:03:33Poirot, he gives to you his word.
00:03:36Well, what happens if I want to powder my nose?
00:03:38Do you come with me?
00:03:40If you wish.
00:03:41Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:03:42Of course not.
00:03:43No, Mademoiselle.
00:03:44No, there is a guard who is dedicated for the purpose.
00:03:48When powdering the nose, miss, keep the door locked.
00:03:51When you're finished, tap on the door.
00:03:53But don't open it until you hear the response.
00:04:00They say Marusco kills for the sheer pleasure of it.
00:04:03Right, but they also say that Poirot is so intelligent he is scarcely human.
00:04:08But you know, he does not listen to this thing.
00:04:11Comfortable and remote.
00:04:18Comfortable and remote.
00:04:48He will see you now.
00:05:03Sergeant?
00:05:04Where the hell are you?
00:05:11Oh, my God.
00:05:18They say Marusco kills for the sheer pleasure of it.
00:05:30Sheer pleasure of it.
00:05:31Sheer pleasure of it.
00:05:31Sheer pleasure of it.
00:05:32But you are in no danger, Mademoiselle.
00:05:36Poirot gives to you his word.
00:05:38Gives to you his word.
00:05:39Gives to you his word.
00:05:40Poirot, you're as fit as a flea.
00:05:48No.
00:05:49Whatever you think is wrong with you is simply up here.
00:05:54What else is there but up here?
00:05:57What you need, my dear fellow, is another case.
00:06:03Preferably one that puts your life in danger.
00:06:05That is your advice most considered?
00:06:07It is.
00:06:08It's cost you ten guineas.
00:06:09So I suggest you act on it.
00:06:14It was my own fault, Doctor.
00:06:18Mine alone.
00:06:22Better not to be a detective at all than to be a detective who has failed.
00:06:26Look here.
00:06:27You've had a remarkable career at the expense of having a family.
00:06:31Nothing wrong with that.
00:06:32But that's what you've chosen.
00:06:35Not for hot sake.
00:06:36At least stir your stumps.
00:06:37Get some fresh air.
00:06:40If you won't walk, go for a drive.
00:06:51You have driven me before?
00:06:54Yes, sir.
00:06:54The agency's had me out to you a couple of times, sir.
00:06:57Name's Williams, sir.
00:06:59You're Mr. Ted Williams?
00:07:00Oh, William.
00:07:04Hello, Mr. Williams.
00:07:06It is of no interest to me where we go.
00:07:10You may drive wherever you please.
00:07:24No, I'm terribly sorry, sir.
00:07:49I'll just come over a bit.
00:07:53Please, please, please, please, to sit.
00:07:59Bloody stupid idea, this, isn't it?
00:08:01I'm going to get the sack now.
00:08:03Blubbing like a baby in front of the clients.
00:08:05How do you do, monsieur?
00:08:09How do you do?
00:08:10It's just this, this is the last place I ever saw her, isn't it?
00:08:17Saw who?
00:08:19Nita.
00:08:19She was a maid to that ballerina, Katrina Samushenka.
00:08:27Nita come over with her from Moscow, and I had to drive her about the West End.
00:08:33Well, I drove Nita.
00:08:36Samushenka I never really saw.
00:08:37She just sat in the Savoy, sending Nita out on their end, so we swanked about the place, Nita and me.
00:08:45Can we come here?
00:08:54We were so much in love, Mr. Poirot, and then one day, she says she's got to go to Switzerland.
00:09:01Samushenka's having a crack-up.
00:09:02She needs treatment.
00:09:03I said, stay with me.
00:09:08Be my wife.
00:09:09I love you, Nita.
00:09:10And she's just crying.
00:09:15That was the last time I ever saw her.
00:09:19Right here.
00:09:22Samushenka to go off to this ruddy place.
00:09:29I keep...
00:09:30I keep thinking that I'm all right.
00:09:33And then I come back here.
00:09:39I just don't want to go on living no more.
00:09:41I can't bear it, sir.
00:09:42I keep thinking that I'm all right.
00:09:51Monsieur Williams
00:10:04Poirot, he will find your Nita
00:10:08And if she so wishes
00:10:11He will bring her back to this very place
00:10:14To this very bench
00:10:16Poirot, he gives to you his word
00:10:19I can't pay you, sir
00:10:22No
00:10:22There is no charge, mon ami
00:10:25This is a thing that Poirot must also do for himself
00:10:49I have a ticket
00:10:54I have a ticket, Inspector Lemontoy
00:10:59I have a ticket, Inspector Lemontoy
00:11:21Monsieur Poirot
00:11:24Whatever are you doing in this foolish place
00:11:27I am in pursuit of a lady's maid
00:11:30I wish I had time for a social life
00:11:33You are telling me the truth, monsieur
00:11:38Poirot always tells the truth, why should he not?
00:11:41Because he has wandered into the middle of an ICPC operation
00:11:50The killer, Mahasko
00:11:54Yes
00:11:56Scotland Yard thought they had him in London
00:11:59But he got away from them
00:12:02The girl was torn into pieces
00:12:05Why?
00:12:06Terrible
00:12:07Why?
00:12:08He now has the complete collection
00:12:10Of wondrous pictures
00:12:12And countless jewels
00:12:14But he is coming here
00:12:18We have information
00:12:20That the Hotel Olympos
00:12:23Is where he hides the goods
00:12:25If Mahasko comes openly
00:12:33It will be as a guest
00:12:36The hotel staff were all accounted for
00:12:39While he was busy on Angleterre
00:12:41Of course
00:12:44We would be honored
00:12:46Monsieur Poirot
00:12:48Should you wish to participate with us
00:12:51In this affair
00:12:53When you get to the hotel
00:12:57Speak to Lieutenant Drouet
00:13:02He is undercover
00:13:04Poirot can recognize a policeman when he sees one
00:13:08Inspector Lamander
00:13:15Ladies and gentlemen
00:13:17Your carriage is arrived
00:13:20Your carriage is arrived
00:13:23To be continued
00:13:26To be continued
00:13:28To be continued
00:13:29To be continued
00:14:01It's Countess Rosico.
00:14:34Quickly, please.
00:14:35Ah.
00:14:36Buongiorno.
00:14:37Buongiorno.
00:14:38Gustavo.
00:14:39Monsieur.
00:14:40Buongiorno.
00:14:41Buongiorno.
00:14:42Yes.
00:14:43You see.
00:14:44Ladies and gentlemen.
00:14:45Meine Herren und Damen.
00:14:46Signore, Signore.
00:14:47Messieurs, Damen.
00:14:48Welcome.
00:14:49Welcome to the Hotel Olympus.
00:14:52Birth the palace of the internationally acclaimed Alpine spa therapy.
00:14:57I am Ispin.
00:14:58Je suis Dr. Crea.
00:15:01Please to call me Francesco.
00:15:04Out of season as we are, a little of the facility is not quite open, but my staff...
00:15:11Where is Robert?
00:15:12Eh?
00:15:13When we were here last year, we were very well served by Robert.
00:15:18Ah.
00:15:19Roberto is home with his family.
00:15:21He will return to us in the summer.
00:15:23We shall not be here.
00:15:25Pointless.
00:15:26We have a good staff, Mrs. Rice.
00:15:28We will attend to your every desire.
00:15:30Is my husband here, Francesco?
00:15:32He is indeed, Mrs. Clayton.
00:15:35Eh?
00:15:36When you have refreshed yourselves and inspected your rooms, please may I offer you all a glass
00:15:41of champagne on the terrassa.
00:15:44Yes, indeed.
00:15:45That is essential.
00:15:51Monsieur Poirot, the threshold is the place to pause.
00:15:57Let us hope that this beginning proves to be more delightful than the last.
00:16:01Yes, God yes.
00:16:04That poor girl.
00:16:06Mr. Waring it has been a long journey.
00:16:10Of course.
00:16:11Excuse me.
00:16:31Come on, you said I cut.

00:19:07You said I cut.
00:19:09She said that she has a broken heart and a coeur brisé.
00:19:14But she has brought with her her maid.
00:19:16She has brought a no maid?
00:19:18No.
00:19:21Then who is that young lady?
00:19:24That is Miss Alice Cunningham.
00:19:28Is Monsieur a police officer?
00:19:31No, no, no, not my name. He is Poirot.
00:19:39Ladies, is everything quite well?
00:19:57Are you Mr. Harold Waring?
00:20:13My incognito tumbles at the first fence.
00:20:17Yes. Yes, I am.
00:20:19May I speak candidly?
00:20:22Well, I suspect you're about to.
00:20:24You have come here from England to escape the consequences of a scandal.
00:20:28Is that correct?
00:20:32Yes.
00:20:33Then I must entreat you not to engage my daughter in private discourse.
00:20:37My son-in-law would take a dim view of it.
00:20:40Very dim.
00:20:42Another glass, Monsieur.
00:20:45No, merci, come.
00:20:53Lieutenant Roy.
00:20:56Ma foi.
00:20:59Are you in contact with Inspector Lamentoy?
00:21:02And what news of Barrasco?
00:21:05He is not here.
00:21:06Not yet.
00:21:07Oh, Monsieur!
00:21:08Well, that is what you do.
00:21:09I'm a very sick man.
00:21:10I am a short but not yet.
00:21:11And we are not in contact with Mr. Harold.
00:21:13Please let me see if I can.
00:21:15Let me see you.
00:21:17Let me see you soon.
00:21:23Herr Cure.
00:21:26Countess.
00:21:27A loop-off-moyat.
00:21:28He is not here.
00:21:31Twenty years.

00:21:33Come.
00:21:34Gone like smoke through keyhole.
00:21:37I recognize you instantly.
00:21:41What could I do but return?
00:21:46You look well, Countess.
00:21:48Well?
00:21:49Why?
00:21:50How cool, such insipidity.
00:21:52At the very least, I want to look like a goddess.
00:21:55One of the better ones.
00:21:56Of course I look well.
00:21:59It is my life of unrelenting virtue.
00:22:01My life of crime is largely over.
00:22:06Come.
00:22:08Si, please.
00:22:09Oh.
00:22:15These days, I must at least pretend to be sensible adult.
00:22:20After all that I go, I am a mother.
00:22:28Calambushka.
00:22:31You're up.
00:22:45I am vertical, if that is what you mean.
00:22:49Have you taken your medication?
00:22:52Look at my eyes, Dr. Lutz.
00:22:58I have taken my medication.
00:23:01Shall we talk?
00:23:04I don't want to.
00:23:06When you don't want to, Katrina,
00:23:10then is the time to talk.
00:23:13It's the way to make you better.
00:23:15You're ready.
00:23:17Bye.

00:33:04Shocking waste of paint.
00:33:08All hotel is simply bestooned with this appalling tat.
00:33:11It appears, madame, that you are a connoisseur, son.
00:33:15Your little brooch, for instance.
00:33:17It is most fine, but I observe that you do not wear it today.
00:33:21I always wear it.
00:33:23Good heavens, ruddy thing's gone.
00:33:26Probably stolen.
00:33:28I tell you, this place has gone to pot.
00:33:30I'm beginning to think Robert gave in his cards.
00:33:34Spot.
00:33:37Si.
00:33:40Thanks.
00:33:40Monsieur will also avail himself of our facilities.
00:33:43Facilities?
00:33:44The sauna, the steaming room.
00:33:46No.
00:33:47No.
00:33:48No.
00:33:49No.
00:33:49No.
00:33:49No.
00:33:50No.
00:33:50No.
00:33:50No.
00:33:50No.
00:33:51No.
00:33:52No.

00:33:57No.
00:33:58No.
00:33:58No.
00:33:59No.
00:34:00No.
00:34:01No.

00:34:05No.
00:34:06No.
00:34:07No.
00:34:08No.
00:34:08No.
00:34:09No.
00:34:09Stop that.
00:34:31Door is unlocked.
00:34:39I didn't call for room service.
00:34:42That is well, for I have none to offer.
00:34:46I am Poirot.
00:34:48You are waiting.
00:34:50What are you waiting for?
00:34:52To be invited to leave or to sit down?
00:34:58Merci, mademoiselle.
00:35:09Would you be so kind as to tell to me something?
00:35:14What became of your maid?
00:35:17I have never had a maid.
00:35:20Nita.
00:35:31She died.
00:35:33The maid you never had, she died.
00:35:37Nita died.
00:35:39I have never had another maid after Nita.
00:35:47Who is that, Jim?
00:35:54What is this?
00:35:56I don't know who this is.
00:35:58I don't care.
00:36:00He's leaving.
00:36:02Merci, mademoiselle.
00:36:02You have been most helpful.
00:36:05Don't touch my things.
00:36:08You make excuse.
00:36:11You're right, mademoiselle.
00:36:15I can barely trust myself.
00:36:20How could I write?
00:36:24Merci, mademoiselle.
00:36:27Doctor?
00:36:28What is the point of making rules?
00:36:37Mr. Clayton, does he take all his meals in his room?
00:36:44Is Monsieur Policai a police officer?
00:36:53Senior Waring, you insult me.
00:36:56No, no, no, no, no.
00:36:57Look, I'm not a ruddy policeman.
00:36:58No, of course not.
00:37:06Senior Clayton, he takes his meals, certainly.
00:37:10Meals out of a bottle.
00:37:12Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, all day long.
00:37:26Monsieur Baron.
00:37:29Let me be absolutely clear.
00:37:31I cannot permit you to interfere with my patient.
00:37:34Dr. Lutz.
00:37:41Are you an admirer of Nietzsche?
00:37:43All Austrians are not Nazis, Monsieur Baron.
00:37:46You think I tried to trap you?
00:37:47Naturally, it is a métier.
00:37:49Who is employing you and what you want from my patient?
00:37:52In this case, I am engaged by Monsieur Ted Williams.
00:37:55And what I require from Mademoiselle Samushenka is the return of her maid, Nita.
00:37:59I have genuinely no idea what you're talking about.
00:38:02Nita, the servant maid, and Pekabla.
00:38:05Monsieur Ted Williams, the lover, most ardent and full of chivalry.
00:38:09You speak to me in archetypes.
00:38:11All this is very Jung.
00:38:13Nobody of intelligence credits Jung.
00:38:18What is wrong with the lady in room 16?
00:38:21T'as, you French!
00:38:23You make me scream with laughter.
00:38:26I am glad.
00:38:28But also, Belgian.
00:38:31You cannot expect me to compromise my client confidentiality.
00:38:36Are you mad?
00:38:37No, Doctor.
00:38:38But neither is Katrina Samushenka.
00:38:53Oh, for God's sake.
00:38:58That's it, darling.
00:38:59You sing along.
00:39:02Is it not the most hideous deformity of dog you ever beheld?
00:39:06It was as if it had two heads.
00:39:08Snap.
00:39:10Another head.
00:39:12He could be Severus.
00:39:13Don't you start.
00:39:14As it is, his name's Binky.
00:39:20Complements of the house, Monsieur.
00:39:21No, merci.
00:39:23The manager loves you because you are the only person here who does not complain.
00:39:31Snap.
00:39:31Naturally, he is not a doctor.
00:39:36His name's not Kriya, either.
00:39:38It's Rosato.
00:39:40He used to run nightclub in Brindisi.
00:39:42I saw him there, but he does not remember me.
00:39:45I was beneath his notice at the time.
00:39:49Ah, yes, Taragui.
00:39:50Since we last met, my life has not always been so agreeable.
00:39:56Snap.
00:40:01Ah, yes.
00:40:05These are for you.
00:40:07For me?
00:40:07They're so beautiful.
00:40:22I have from time to time lost my money and my dignity, Hercule.
00:40:27I never lost my taste.
00:40:30But...
00:40:30No, I did not steal them.
00:40:34My father wore them when we fled by the Borg.
00:40:44Merci beaucoup.
00:40:55The labors of Hercules.
00:40:58That is how you unconsciously conceive your career.
00:41:02You are the modern incarnation of Hercules.
00:41:05How resourceful of me.
00:41:07Dr. Lutz should name a condition after you.
00:41:09The Hercules Complex.
00:41:11The compulsion to conquer all obstacles,
00:41:14however forbidding.
00:41:17It is why you are driven to chase Mariscot.
00:41:20You simply have to.
00:41:24When the man is on the rampage all over Europe,
00:41:26he is the master criminal.
00:41:27Who else could possibly defeat him?
00:41:34Hercule.
00:41:35There is no one else.
00:41:39Snap.
00:41:40Give me that bottle.
00:41:42Give it to me now.
00:41:44My God, I'm going to...
00:41:45Nothing.
00:41:45It's rude.
00:41:46It's scary.
00:41:47You did that again.
00:41:48You know what's coming.
00:41:49Don't get me again.
00:41:52Clayton!
00:41:53You cowardly swine.
00:41:54Step outside.
00:41:55I'm not afraid.
00:41:56No, no.
00:41:57Get away from me.
00:41:58Please don't.
00:41:59Please don't hurt me.
00:42:00Help me.
00:42:01Help me.
00:42:05Help me.
00:42:06Help me.
00:42:06Help me.
00:42:07Help me.
00:42:08Help me.
00:42:09Help me.
00:42:10Help me.
00:42:11Help me.
00:42:12Help me.
00:42:13Help me.
00:42:14Help me.
00:42:15Help me.
00:42:16Help me.
00:42:17Help me.
00:42:18Help me.
00:42:19God.
00:42:20Go.
00:42:21My darling, go.
00:42:23God.
00:42:24God.
00:42:25God.
00:42:26God.
00:42:27God.
00:42:38This is right.
00:42:39God.
00:42:42God.
00:42:43Lord.
00:42:44God.
00:42:45Lord.
00:42:47does Clayton's injury need attention?
00:42:48Tell me what to do.
00:42:49I can do it.
00:42:52My daughter's husband is dead.
00:42:54She has killed him, you see.
00:42:56I should go.
00:42:58No, Mr. Waring, please.
00:42:59Stay here.
00:43:01We shall not have you implicated.
00:43:03I will not have you implicated.
00:43:26Please, now do sit down.
00:43:28Tell me what happened, please.
00:43:35I carried the body to the bathroom.
00:43:38I stood on the closed lid of the lavatory.
00:43:41I fed the body through the little window.
00:43:44It went down the mountain.
00:43:47Right. So Clayton's down the mountain.
00:43:52I think I was observed.
00:43:55The staff quarters looked out on us.
00:43:58I saw her face.
00:44:02Right.
00:44:04Let me think a minute.
00:44:13This is not England.
00:44:15The solution to this is probably a bribe.
00:44:18One bribe to the manager.
00:44:20Enough for him to silence whichever member of staff observed you.
00:44:23Also, if necessary, the police.
00:44:25We have no money for a bribe.
00:44:38Leave it to me.
00:44:40Mickey Mouse.
00:44:41Excusez-moi.
00:44:42Em, un poticelli.
00:44:43I was Mickey Mouse.
00:44:44I am now ready for another game.
00:44:45For you, I am D.
00:44:46Monsieur, I have no appetite.
00:44:47I'll give you a clue.
00:44:48Two clues.
00:44:49I am alive.
00:44:50And I am not fictitional.
00:44:51I am now ready for another game.
00:44:52For you, I am D.
00:44:54Monsieur, I have no appetite.
00:44:55I'll give you a clue.
00:44:56Two clues.
00:44:57I am alive.
00:44:58And I am not fictitional.
00:44:59Vraiment, monsieur.
00:45:00I insist that you excuse me from this game.
00:45:02Ah, bonjour.
00:45:03No.
00:45:04No.
00:45:05No.
00:45:06No.
00:45:07No.
00:45:08No.
00:45:09No.
00:45:10No.
00:45:11No.
00:45:12No.
00:45:13No.
00:45:14No.
00:45:15No.
00:45:16No.
00:45:17No.
00:45:18No.
00:45:19No.
00:45:20No.
00:45:21No.
00:45:22No.
00:45:23No.
00:45:24No.
00:45:25No.
00:45:26No.
00:45:27No.
00:45:28Ah, buongiorno, signor Welling.
00:45:29Good morning.
00:45:30Francesca.
00:45:31Si.
00:45:32Can I speak frankly?
00:45:34I have a problem.
00:45:40Is it a big problem, signor Welling?
00:45:47Pretty big.
00:45:49How big is a pretty big, signor?
00:45:54Nothing.
00:45:55I'm sure we cannot help you with.
00:45:56You may be assured of my most discreet professional services.
00:46:01That would be nice.
00:46:02Binx, tell the truth.
00:46:03If you were the greatest criminal brain in the known universe, then you'd have to be
00:46:04the greatest criminal brain in the known universe.
00:46:05And you had just torn the internal organs, then you'd have to be the greatest criminal
00:46:08brain in the known universe.
00:46:09And you had just torn the internal organs, then you'd have to be the greatest criminal
00:46:10brain in the known universe.
00:46:11You'd have to be the greatest criminal brain in the known universe.
00:46:12And you had just torn the internal organs out of a beautiful young girl.
00:46:18Where would you go to catch your breath?
00:46:22Finks, tell the truth, if you were the greatest criminal brain in the known universe and you
00:46:32had just torn the internal organs out of a beautiful young girl, where would you go to
00:46:38catch your breath? You wouldn't really come to a dump like this, would you? Come in.
00:46:52Whatever this is, I'm not sure our arrangement covers it.
00:47:00My daughter, where is Alice?
00:47:03I'm not hurt, I'm not hurt.
00:47:09If you please, ma'am, give me what you can.
00:47:12Yes, it was a man alone. He had a mask.
00:47:16Did he catch you? Was it Mariscor?
00:47:18If you please, Countess, did he speak? Can you be sure it was a man?
00:47:27It was pretty clear he was a man, and what he wanted, but he didn't get it.
00:47:34He had good shoes. Handmaid. So you see...
00:47:49Why?
00:47:50What?
00:47:51Alor, Countess, the man who attacked your daughter, he is not a member of staff, no.
00:47:55He is a guest.
00:47:58Come.
00:47:59Countess, Monsieur, I came to see if I could be of assistance to Miss Cunningham.
00:48:11How kind, Dr. Lutz, sir. What manner of assistance?
00:48:15The procedures of psychological recovery are my speciality.
00:48:19Shush, Binky. You've established you're a completely useless guard dog.
00:48:24Um, thank you, Dr. Lutz. I shall bear you a mind.
00:48:34Wrong shoes.
00:48:36Because he changed them.
00:48:38It was him.
00:48:38It was not him, Mother.
00:48:40God, you'd make such a useless detective.
00:48:43Monsieur Poirot, I've decided to help you.
00:48:47I'll meet you in the lounge in five minutes.
00:48:49No, ma'am, ma'am.
00:48:49Please, I need this for me.
00:48:54Miss Cunningham, I do hope...
00:49:02Yes, well, that was most unpleasant, but, uh, no, I'm fine.
00:49:07Monsieur Poirot here has some questions to ask you.
00:49:12Indeed.
00:49:15Monsieur Waring,
00:49:16if you please to tell Poirot where you were when Mademoiselle Cunningham was menaced.
00:49:22Me? I was in my room.
00:49:25So why do you blush to say this?
00:49:27Was there another person with you?
00:49:29I say, don't be so offensive.
00:49:31Don't mind me.
00:49:32My bedroom's full of people.
00:49:33I'm supposed to be there.
00:49:35En effet, you can help Poirot, monsieur.
00:49:37If you please to advise monsieur Philip Clayton that now it is the time for him to emerge from his room to account for himself.
00:49:45No.
00:49:46No, monsieur.
00:49:49Clayton has left the hotel.
00:49:51Monsieur, c'est incroyable.
00:49:53Monsieur Philip Clayton, he does not grow the wings.
00:49:57Well, he, well, he might.
00:50:00You are very tired, monsieur.
00:50:02Tired is the least of what I am, Poirot.
00:50:04Well, I'm a killer.
00:50:10I killed Philip bloody Clayton and stuffed his body out the window.
00:50:15But he's not interesting.
00:50:17How did you kill him, monsieur?
00:50:19With a dirty great paperweight.
00:50:22Back of the head.
00:50:24Bang.
00:50:29Bang.
00:50:29And, of course, you killed monsieur Philip Clayton because he beats his wife, the wife with whom you are in love, and was in your bedroom when mademoiselle Cunningham, she was being attacked?
00:50:41Yes.
00:50:43And her mother.
00:50:44She was with us, too.
00:50:45Oh, naturalment.
00:50:47Madame Rice was almost constantly with you.
00:50:50Oh, except, of course, when you were engaged in the murder of monsieur Philip Clayton.
00:50:54She arrived a short while afterwards looking a little, um, chiveling.
00:50:58Ah, perhaps we should continue this insight, mon cher Rémy.
00:51:05It cannot be possible.
00:51:08Neither of them was in Copenhagen.
00:51:10If anything goes wrong,
00:51:13anything at all,
00:51:15I shall blame you.
00:51:19If you please, monsieur.
00:51:20Eh bien, monsieur,
00:51:27listen
00:51:27to Poirot.
00:51:29You recall that night in Laman?
00:51:32When I observed the behavior of Sir Anthony Moken towards his wife,
00:51:35eh bien,
00:51:37he gave to Poirot the measure of this man.
00:51:39And I believe that it was he
00:51:40who fathered the child with the prostitute, monsieur,
00:51:43and not you.
00:51:43Non.
00:51:44You took the blame in order to preserve the integrity of your ministry
00:51:48because you are a man most honorable.
00:51:51And now you take the blame for the murder of Philip Clayton.
00:51:54But Poirot, he knows that this cannot be true
00:51:55because there is no Philip Clayton.
00:51:58There never was such a man.
00:52:03You know, Poirot, he racked his brains.
00:52:05And he remembered the case in Copenhagen
00:52:07where there was a good man
00:52:09at a very low ebb in his life.
00:52:11Like you.
00:52:13He was relieved of all his money
00:52:14by two sisters.
00:52:19Madame Rice and Madame Clayton,
00:52:20Monvier are not mother and daughter.
00:52:22But I saw Elsie smash the man.
00:52:24No.
00:52:25The man who was struck was not a man at all.
00:52:28But her eldest sibling in disguise.
00:52:32And then, of course,
00:52:32they send you away
00:52:33where they dispose of their body.
00:52:37But, Madame Romand,
00:52:38they were observed
00:52:39and then they came to you
00:52:40and...
00:52:42you offered to make the bribe.
00:52:45Oh, but I gave them nothing.
00:52:46I gave it all to that Francesco child.
00:52:48Francesco.
00:52:49Have you ever met a man more corrupt?
00:52:50He is most surely their accomplice.
00:52:52How do you know Mrs. Rice was impersonating Clayton?
00:52:55Oh, ma...
00:52:56Mademoiselle, you're coated.
00:52:57He's open.
00:52:58Pleased to do it up, huh?
00:52:59Fouvoyé, monsieur.
00:53:04The ladies, they draw the right over the left
00:53:06and the gentlemen,
00:53:07they draw the left over the right.
00:53:10And when I observe this,
00:53:12Philippe Clayton
00:53:13in the corridor
00:53:15do a peace-dressing car.
00:53:20Right over left.
00:53:21C'est ça.
00:53:25Hello, monsieur.
00:53:26I believe that you have suffered enough.
00:53:28I leave you to recover your position, mon breil.
00:53:31Yes.
00:53:42Those women should hang.
00:53:45Croyez-vous, mademoiselle?
00:53:47You are very harsh.
00:53:50What are you thinking?
00:53:52Are you thinking that Cerberus
00:53:55has much to tell us about Marosco?
00:53:57No.
00:54:01If you ask us to guess who you are,
00:54:16I shall scream.
00:54:19Monsieur Paul,
00:54:21my cot.
00:54:27I am
00:54:28an insurance investigator.
00:54:30I offer you my services.
00:54:39Monsieur,
00:54:40can you tell me where you were
00:54:41when mademoiselle Cunningham
00:54:42she was attacked?
00:54:44Certainly.
00:54:46My complete itinerary for the day.
00:54:49All verifiable by witnesses.
00:54:52Excluding the criminals
00:54:53wearing Francesco
00:54:54and the women calling themselves
00:54:55Rice and Clayton, of course.
00:55:00I shall await your call, monsieur.
00:55:05Definitely.
00:55:11I'm definitely him.
00:55:22I don't look.
00:55:25Hmm.
00:55:27There, quickly.
00:55:30So she is here
00:55:34Katrina
00:55:36This is not appropriate
00:55:38Who pays for your dinner?
00:55:41Dr. Lutz?
00:55:42That is not a legitimate basis for argument
00:55:45I disagree
00:55:47Dine with me if you wish
00:55:49Otherwise
00:55:51Leave me alone
00:55:53We'll talk about this later
00:56:00Mademoiselle
00:56:01A bottle of wine and food
00:56:04With some description
00:56:07Oui, d'accord
00:56:09Mademoiselle
00:56:18There is one thing that you must know
00:56:20It is a thing that was told to Poirot
00:56:24But he did not believe it of himself
00:56:26But it is true
00:56:27And it is true of you
00:56:31You are not ill, mademoiselle
00:56:35No
00:56:36You are not ill
00:56:40The Countess Rosikoff is a criminal, monsieur
00:56:55And you have done nothing
00:56:58To promote her arrest
00:56:59You could do the same for us
00:57:03Excuse me
00:57:05Otherwise you drive us to extremes
00:57:08Do not press me, ladies
00:57:12Poirot, he will not be pressed
00:57:15No
00:57:31No
00:57:35No
00:57:42Stay where you are.
00:57:59Schwartz, the way.
00:58:03Where did he?
00:58:05Of course you are.
00:58:06I was watching your door.
00:58:09My God.
00:58:11That's quite a drop.
00:58:12He will be injured?
00:58:15He already is.
00:58:16I think my shot went to his stomach.
00:58:18Will you excuse me?
00:58:19Oui.
00:58:27Eh bien, Poirot.
00:58:29The little grey cells.
00:58:32At last they begin to sing.
00:58:33He cannot escape.
00:58:47Do you want me to shoot him?
00:58:49No.
00:58:49Lieutenant Roy.
00:58:51Poirot, he does not wish that.
00:58:55Here.
00:58:55Gustav!
00:59:11Gustav!
00:59:15Gustav!
00:59:16You were wounded.
00:59:19And if you remain out here, you will most surely die.
00:59:23No, I said no!
00:59:27That is enough.
00:59:30Come back in.
00:59:31We have so much to discuss, you and I.
00:59:36Mon ami.
00:59:37What is your name?
00:59:40What is your name?
00:59:43Marasco.
00:59:46No, Gustav!
00:59:48No!
00:59:48No, Gustav!
00:59:50He was not Marasco.
01:00:02Why should a man go to his death claiming to be someone else?
01:00:07That is a mystery that is so terrible.
01:00:12Well, if you're in the mood for Horus, there's something else you should see.
01:00:17Careful.
01:00:25Merci.
01:00:27There.
01:00:28Oh, non, non, non!
01:00:30At least the cold prevents him from stinking.
01:00:40Oh, dear.
01:00:41Do you know who it is?
01:00:42Oui.
01:00:43It is a servant repair.
01:00:46I found him this afternoon.
01:00:48Either suicide or somebody.
01:00:50No, this is not suicide, Mon ami.
01:00:52Look at the hands.
01:00:54No, these hands, they do not speak of a widow who decided to hang himself.
01:00:58This man was fighting for his life and was overpowered.
01:01:03So this is the man Gustav replaced.
01:01:05Why?
01:01:05Huh.
01:01:07This Gustav, he must have known about the undercover operation to take Marasco.
01:01:11Why?
01:01:11And he just pretended to be me.
01:01:14Though he knew my name.
01:01:16I have nothing to identify.
01:01:17What?
01:01:17Oh, you are such a clumsy fool.
01:01:22You handed to him the name on a plate.
01:01:25Another glass, monsieur.
01:01:25No, merci, quand même.
01:01:30Lieutenant Arroy.
01:01:36That makes no difference now.
01:01:37So, what do we do?
01:01:44Gustav wanted us to believe that it was Marasco falling to his death.
01:01:47When?
01:01:49Then that for the moment is what we shall believe.
01:01:51Hercule, what happened?
01:01:55Are you dead?
01:01:57We heard another shot.
01:02:00Francesco, please tell it to the staff to keep to their quarters.
01:02:03Their services will not be required.
01:02:05Countess, this gentleman is Lieutenant Arroy of the ICPC.
01:02:09Are you sure?
01:02:10He has so many people.
01:02:13Ah.
01:02:14And as for Marasco, he is dead.
01:02:19Good heavens.
01:02:20The man calling himself Gustav.
01:02:23It was him.
01:02:24I knew it.
01:02:26Those terrible shoes.
01:02:28The waiter with the drip at the end of his nose.
01:02:30Why?
01:02:31I must confess to being a little disappointed.
01:02:34That's not the name I wrote in my book.
01:02:37Monsieur Waring.
01:02:38Mrs. Rice.
01:02:39And Mrs. Clayton.
01:02:41They have left the hotel.
01:02:43Please do come and look.
01:02:46Excuse me.
01:02:50Well, tell me.
01:02:56Is it likely they'll survive?
01:02:58Two women, unfit.
01:03:00Without protective clothing, without skis.
01:03:03In the freezing dark.
01:03:04Ladies, whose livelihood depends on risks that are calculated.
01:03:09They have overreached themselves, I fear.
01:03:13I must pursue...
01:03:14Monsieur Waring.
01:03:16Listen to Poirot, huh?
01:03:19The opportunity to make yourself feel better by doing something senselessly heroic may yet present itself, but...
01:03:26This is not yet...
01:03:28Compris.
01:03:30Lieutenant Roy, what special apparatus have you brought with you?
01:03:32A gun.
01:03:34A shortwave wireless.
01:03:35Excellent.
01:03:36Ça c'est la bonne formule.
01:03:37No, but up here it doesn't work.
01:03:38It has never worked.
01:03:39De rien.
01:03:40Poirot, he is the master of technology.
01:03:42Pleased to bring these apparatus to the salon.
01:03:44And Monsieur Waring, pleased to invite also there the guests.
01:03:47Poirot shall make the wireless to leave again.
01:03:49Lieutenant, will you please to make everyone stand over there?
01:03:57It's impossible for me.
01:03:58Ladies and gentlemen, step back, please.
01:04:04I trust the police will keep a sense of proportion about my involvement in...
01:04:14Ah!
01:04:16Hello?
01:04:16Yes, I can hear you.
01:04:21C'est Poirot ici.
01:04:25Oui.
01:04:26Drouet, he is here.
01:04:28And he is well.
01:04:30Lamentoy, tell me what you can be for the signal.
01:04:33It fails.
01:04:37Oui, d'accord.
01:04:38No, I understand.
01:04:40Enfin, bref.
01:04:42Poirot, he has requirements.
01:04:45Hello?
01:04:46Lamentoy, I...
01:04:49I...
01:04:50It is dead.
01:04:54Well, what is understood?
01:04:58The tunnel, it has been cleared.
01:05:00And at dawn, in precisely one hour from now, the funicular, it will operate again.
01:05:05Time is all that is required by Poirot.
01:05:19May I ask something?
01:05:21Why do you insist on referring to yourself in the third person?
01:05:24It is intensely irritating.
01:05:26Because, Dr. Lutz, it helps Poirot achieve a healthy distance from his genius.
01:05:36Mlle Cunningham, your disappointment, it can be set aside.
01:05:40The man calling himself Gustave, he was not Mariscot.
01:05:43You don't say.
01:05:44No, he was the accomplice most loyal, who went to his death willingly to conceal the identity of his master.
01:05:51Oh, I feel sick.
01:05:53So, who is this Mariscot?
01:05:56Does he exist?
01:05:58Or is he collective neurosis?
01:06:02Mademoiselle, Mariscot, he exists.
01:06:06He is here now.
01:06:17A little patience, mes amis.
01:06:19And Poirot, he will explain.
01:06:28Monsieur, there are things I wish you to do.
01:06:30But first, do you have here the passports for each of the guests?
01:06:33In the safe, monsieur.
01:06:34Bon, place them in the room of Poirot.
01:06:37Et maintenant, écoutez bien.
01:06:38Oui.
01:06:39While Mademoiselle Samushenker is here occupied, go to her room and take whatever it is you find from underneath her pillow.
01:06:46Also, the writing case, which is on the little table beside the bed.
01:06:49Place these items in the dining room into a large laundry basket for Poirot.
01:06:54Also, that terrible picture that is in my room and some terrible pancine.
01:06:58Oui, monsieur, in the matter of people being arrested...
01:07:02And a rag.
01:07:04A rag.
01:07:05Assemble also the guests in the dining room in...
01:07:0820 minutes.
01:07:11I have an appointment.
01:07:12Yes.
01:07:13I have an appointment.
01:07:21I have an appointment.
01:07:22I have an appointment.
01:07:23I have an appointment.
01:07:24I have an appointment.
01:07:25I have an appointment.
01:07:26I have an appointment.
01:07:27I have an appointment.
01:07:28I have an appointment.
01:07:29I have an appointment.
01:07:30I have an appointment.
01:07:31I have an appointment.
01:07:32I have an appointment.
01:07:33I have an appointment.
01:07:34I have an appointment.
01:07:35I have an appointment.
01:07:36I have an appointment.
01:07:37I have an appointment.
01:07:38I have an appointment.
01:07:39I have an appointment.
01:07:40Thank you, Mr.
01:08:41I told you.
01:08:44One could consider it an improvement.
01:08:46Wait a minute.
01:08:47What's that?
01:08:48It is a man.
01:08:58Well, I'm a ruddy Chinaman, spoken like a true officer in his majesty's foreign office.
01:09:09It's the Le Majores Vendrache.
01:09:10I see someone vanquishing the Hydra.
01:09:15One of us hears of which paintings, monsieur?
01:09:17The labors of Hercules.
01:09:18Mrs.
01:09:19And the rest of the labors?
01:09:20They're all here.
01:09:24All around this building they sit, waiting, hidden, but in the plain sight.
01:09:32Waiting for what?
01:09:33For the fence of Maresco to find a purchaser for the collection.
01:09:38Francesco, from where did you purchase these pictures?
01:09:40A man down the mountain.
01:09:42I get them very cheap.
01:09:43Indeed, because for Maresco it is a kind of renter.
01:09:49Oh.
01:09:50Ah, but there are other treasures here in Bond.
01:09:56That is mine.
01:09:59Is it, mademoiselle?
01:10:02Oh, je suis désolé.
01:10:04I return it to you at once.
01:10:06Nevertheless, in the spirit of candor, which is mandatory in these circumstances,
01:10:11I must insist that you show to Perrault its contents.
01:10:15Don't be ridiculous.
01:10:17Sir Lieutenant Roy is a policeman.
01:10:20Would you prefer him to show us the contents of your writing case?
01:10:24Well, I'm sorry, but that necklace was around that poor girl's throat that night, Lucinda.
01:10:29And the earrings that went with.
01:10:30God, that's not still blood on them, is it?
01:10:31Merci, monsieur.
01:10:32Oh, I'm sorry, but that necklace was around that poor girl's throat that night, Lucinda.
01:10:37And the earrings that went with.
01:10:38God, that's not still blood on them, is it?
01:10:39Merci, monsieur.
01:10:41Mademoiselle, are you surprised to find these items in your writing case?
01:10:42No.
01:10:43No.
01:10:44No.
01:10:45No.
01:10:46Will you please explain to us all how they came to arrive there?
01:10:49No.
01:10:50No.
01:10:51No.
01:10:52No, I thought not.
01:10:53It is of little consequence for Perrault knows the story of these stones.
01:10:54I must protest.
01:10:55I must protest.
01:10:56But of course, monsieur.
01:10:57No.
01:10:58No.
01:10:59No.
01:11:00I thought not.
01:11:01It is of little consequence for Perrault knows the story of these stones.
01:11:04I must protest.
01:11:05But of course, monsieur.
01:11:06No.
01:11:07No.
01:11:08No.
01:11:09No.
01:11:10No.
01:11:11No.
01:11:12No.
01:11:13No.
01:11:14No.
01:11:15No.
01:11:16No.
01:11:17No.
01:11:18No.
01:11:19No.
01:11:20No.
01:11:21No.
01:11:22No.
01:11:23No.
01:11:24No.
01:11:25No.
01:11:26No.
01:11:27No.
01:11:28No.
01:11:29No.
01:11:30No.
01:11:31No.
01:11:32No.
01:11:33No.
01:11:34No.
01:11:35No.
01:11:36No.
01:11:37No.
01:11:38No.
01:11:39No.
01:11:40No.
01:11:41No.
01:11:42No.
01:11:43No.
01:11:44No.
01:11:45No.
01:11:46No.
01:11:47No.
01:11:48No.
01:11:49No.
01:11:50No.
01:11:51No.
01:11:52No.
01:11:53of Dr. Lutz. He thought he had made you to throw away this object. But no, you hid it
01:11:58under your pillow, and this item is the disguise you once wore in London to become Nita.
01:12:08And as Nita the maid, you were, of course, able to fall in love with the hard-working
01:12:12man, the driver, Monsieur Ted Williams, whom the proud and haughty Katrina Samushenka could
01:12:19not permit herself to love. This Nita who has to be discarded when her mistress must leave
01:12:25London, and so Nita the maid has to die, and Monsieur Ted Williams must bear the pain every
01:12:31day of his life of a heart that is broken. And Dr. Lutz, the opportunist who has been retained
01:12:40to nurse you through your unhappiness, to heal you with a talking cure, with a pill, with
01:12:44a constant reinforcement that you are mentally unstable, that you cannot be trusted to each
01:12:49person who exists alone, because this keeps him in employment. But it is a cover. But
01:12:59that is the way you behave. How can one trust either of you?
01:13:02I told you he was forceful.
01:13:04And you, Countess, never quite able to wean yourself from the life of crime, hm?
01:13:11What a crime, hm?
01:13:13Pour les jours, madame?
01:13:18Oh, vous voyez, mademoiselle, your mother, she is wearing the brooch belonging to madame Rice.
01:13:22It was ugly on her, and it is pretty on me. Oh, she won't be needing it to go down the
01:13:29mountain. She steals her rally these days.
01:13:32Perhaps.
01:13:33But maybe she enjoys the pleasure of fencing jewellery that has been taken by another.
01:13:39For God's sake, you know that is not true. You know that...
01:13:42My turn.
01:13:47Mademoiselle Cunningham, huh? The student of criminology?
01:13:54Your fascination with, oh, the method?
01:13:58Your eagerness always to know what it is the Poirot he is thinking.
01:14:02How deliciously pure it would be, mademoiselle, to conceal yourself under the wing of the very
01:14:08detective who searches for you.
01:14:10Yes. The way I say, I think that's very interesting, but, uh, a little woolly, and not quite out
01:14:20of the top drawer sleuth-wise.
01:14:25Monsieur Baring, you are no stranger to deceit.
01:14:29That's a little harsh, Poirot. Only a few hours ago you were telling me what an honorable
01:14:33man I was.
01:14:34No, because it is your honor that leads you to deceit. Will you please fetch for me the
01:14:37ladies, madame Clayton and madame Rice?
01:14:39Eh? They're halfway down the mountain.
01:14:41No, monsieur, they're not halfway down the mountain. I think you'll find them hiding
01:14:44in your bedroom.
01:14:45Now, look here.
01:14:46Just please to fetch them, monsieur.
01:14:58Bon.
01:14:59Et maintenant, monsieur le patron.
01:15:02I have, uh, done everything you ask, monsieur. Sois gentil.
01:15:06You ask Poirot to be gentle with you?
01:15:08Oui.
01:15:09You, who, when the servant Robert went missing, may not the slightest attempt to find him?
01:15:14And then when Gustave appeared later in the day, did you put the two and two together?
01:15:17Oh, yes, of course you did, monsieur. But you pretended not to hear the answer.
01:15:22And then he gives you cash. And tells to you that he wishes to work for you as a waiter.
01:15:28And why not? Guests of us are stranger things. And after all, cash, it is...
01:15:32Cash.
01:15:33It is...
01:15:34Cash.
01:15:35Ah, ladies. If he were wearing a hat, Poirot, he would sweep it off to you. Your venality,
01:15:53it knows no bounds. You take and you take and you take!
01:15:58We returned the money.
01:16:00From the goodness of humanity, you take!
01:16:04You ruin a man and then make him feel guilty for being ruined?
01:16:08You make him pretend that you have escaped, but you have not escaped, Poirot.
01:16:13No.
01:16:14Oh, Madame Justice, it will surely be meted out to you, for you are predatory and malign.
01:16:21No.
01:16:35So, who else remains, huh?
01:16:38Just the Lothan Andruy? And Poirot?
01:16:42Not now.
01:16:45There is you, monsieur.
01:16:48Severus.
01:16:50why did you not bark when your mistress she was attacked
01:16:54is it because her assailant was a man that you knew
01:16:58or is it possible she was not attacked at all
01:17:02and that this attack
01:17:06was a device most cynical to throw Poirot of the scent
01:17:09would you like me to describe the intimate parts of my tormentor monsieur
01:17:13they were on display
01:17:15no no no no
01:17:17that is not necessary for Poirot
01:17:20but you are clever
01:17:23but you are even more clever
01:17:26with the men
01:17:29Gustav for instance your
01:17:31creature
01:17:33you give to him just enough attention to make him fall utterly in love with you
01:17:40I saw his eyes
01:17:42he looked directly at me
01:17:45so passionately in love
01:17:48that whenever he thinks of you
01:17:50his hands
01:17:51they tremble
01:17:53trapped and wounded
01:18:00what else could he offer you but his life
01:18:02dying with a lie upon his lips in the belief
01:18:05that it would protect you
01:18:06you mademoiselle
01:18:08who are entirely without compassion
01:18:10entirely without mercy
01:18:11you who said that the ladies should hang
01:18:14and you yourself
01:18:17mademoiselle
01:18:17who ordered Robert to be hanged
01:18:20because it was
01:18:21convenient
01:18:25I won't have to write this down
01:18:29this is fascinating
01:18:29I do not think you will need whatever it is in your handbag to listen to Poirot
01:18:33do you know what it was the first alert in my attention mademoiselle
01:18:41the biting of your thumb
01:18:45she started you
01:18:47and Poirot he remembered where he had seen this before
01:18:53and he realized that you must have seen it too
01:18:58oh yes you saw it mademoiselle
01:19:07and you stored it up
01:19:10for the future use
01:19:12to manipulate the guilt and the shame of Poirot
01:19:16and what else had you observed mademoiselle
01:19:22don't open it until you hear the response
01:19:24all the information
01:19:31that you could possibly require
01:19:34and Poirot
01:19:38he felt so vigilant that night
01:19:41excuse me
01:19:43ah
01:19:43sorry
01:19:44Poirot
01:19:48he will see you now
01:19:49but in fact he was a man who was
01:19:52so blind
01:19:53hello mesdames and messieurs
01:20:02let us imagine
01:20:04a little scene
01:20:06a scene
01:20:09where mademoiselle cunningham
01:20:10goes to mademoiselle samushenka
01:20:12in tears
01:20:14and says
01:20:16oh mademoiselle
01:20:19the man I love
01:20:21is so very poor
01:20:22we have no money
01:20:23and
01:20:24the cruel and snobbish
01:20:26contest my mother
01:20:27she forbids us to marry
01:20:30she has taken all my jewels
01:20:33except these
01:20:34pleased to hide them from me
01:20:36mademoiselle

01:20:37that is secret and forbidden
01:20:39everything depends
01:20:41on you
01:20:44I condense for the dramatic purposes
01:20:47but the essence of it
01:20:48it is correct
01:20:49oui

01:20:52oui
