06:30We've got something to tell you...
06:32Oh, no, Gerda, please, you promise...
06:33Alistair wants it kept secret from his stuffy family, but we're going to be married.
06:38Oh, that's wonderful.
06:40Oh, that's wonderful.
06:44Congratulations, Mr. Blunt.
06:47When will this be?
06:49Quite soon, actually.
06:50Alistair's bank want him back in London next month.
06:54Oh, come on, Alistair.
06:55I want to dance.
06:58Excuse us, please, Miss Sainsbury's seal.
07:00And so, you know...
07:02And so, we're going to say goodbye.
07:09And so, at last, time to say goodbye.
07:11And so, at last, time to say goodbye.
07:12As he leaves India, the jewel of Britain's vast empire, the prince can look back with pride and a job well done.
07:17We'd like to join with the people of India in saying thank you and God bless the Prince of Wales.
09:01Sit yourself down, Mr. Poirot.
09:19Quite comfortable?
09:23We'll start the preparatory work today, Mr. Poirot.
09:29I'm so sorry to have kept you.
09:31Oh, that's all right.
09:33Mr. Morley asked me to make another appointment.
09:37Oh, no.
09:39What about the 6th of August at 11.45, Miss Sainsbury's Seal?
09:45Uh, yes.
09:46That looks perfect.
09:47Oh, yes.
09:48That looks perfect.
10:17Do you want to get out here and take a cab, Uncle Alastair?
10:18No, no.
10:19It's all right.
10:20I'll walk back to the office.
10:21Keep the car.
10:22Finish your shopping.
10:23As long as I have it back by half past five.
10:25Excuse me.
10:26It's Alastair Blunt, isn't it?
10:28Yes.
10:29You don't remember me.
10:31Maybelle.
10:32Maybelle Sainsbury's Seal.
10:34I was your wife's friend.
10:37Yes.
10:38Yes, of course I remember you.
10:42I'll see you at home later then, Jane.
10:45It was an injury, if you remember.
10:47Gerda and I were on tour together.
10:49I've only just come back after all these years.
10:52I've been doing work for the Zanana missions, you know.
10:56Well, it's wonderful to see you again, Miss Sainsbury's Seal.
10:59It really is, but I...
11:00I'd love to see Gerda again.
11:02Miss Seal.
11:07Sainsbury's Seal, yes?
11:11Why, Mr. Ambriotis.
11:14Oh, I'm sorry.
11:15I didn't recognize you for a moment.
11:18How nice.
11:20I came to return.
11:23This.
11:25My hot water bottle.
11:27What must you think?
11:32This gentleman and I were on the boat, coming back from India together.
11:37I lent him my hot water bottle when he had a toothache.
11:50Have you been to a dentist yet about that tooth, Mr. Ambriotis?
11:53Not yet, no.
11:54It doesn't hurt so much.
11:56That's very naughty of you.
11:58You must go and see my man, Mr. Morley in Harley Street.
12:02As a matter of fact, it's rather a coincidence.
12:05I saw him only this morning.
12:07And as I was coming out, I ran into another old friend from India.
12:11Oh, for a much longer ago, of course.
12:13His wife and I were together in the touring company I told you about.
12:17Oh, yes, yes.
12:19When you were an actress.
12:21Quite.
12:22And he's done awfully well, I believe, since then.
12:26Mr. Alistair Blunt.
12:28Mr. Alistair Blunt, the banker.
12:31I believe so.
12:32He certainly used to work in a bank when he met Gerda.
12:36Gerda?
12:38His wife.
12:39Oh, we were such pals.
12:42Of course, she was a better actress than I.
12:45I always said she'd get on in the profession.
12:48But she left it to marry Alistair.
12:51And I left it to stay in India.
12:53Thank you, sir.
13:03Thank you, sir.
13:24Thank you, sir.
13:25I was going tocake me.
13:26Sorry, sir.
13:29Tell her and give me to my TV.
13:30Henry.
13:31Here's a nice morning aesthetic.
13:32Really?
13:33Yeah.
13:34This is Sunday's 불 routing.
13:35This is the Broadwayooooo program.
13:37It is perfect!
13:38This is Monday for home, beforeriverades.
13:40Naturally, I didn't see you at the end to the game.
13:42Anyway, days after a game is going to be on television,
13:43Thank you, sir.
13:44Keep the trust.
13:45See that tomorrow's been weeks ago.
13:47Not so supernatural feliz, please.
13:49Never Можно like to get you across all ideas.
13:50Hold tight, please.
14:20Oh.
14:28Yes, ma'am?
14:31My name's Sainsbury Seal.
14:33I want to see Mrs. Blunt.
14:34She's staying with Mrs. Chapman.
14:36Mrs. Chapman?
14:37Right, this way, ma'am.
14:45Number 45, ma'am, just there.
14:47Thank you so much.
14:50Good.
14:55After all these years.
15:10Where are you going with those?
15:14Miss Sainsbury Seal telephone, miss.
15:16She's moving to the Carlisle Hotel in South Kensington.
15:19What's her bag signal?
15:20Oh, yes.
15:21Go on, then.
15:22Well, I don't know.
15:23I don't know.
15:25I don't know.

18:19Until the end of the financial year.
18:47Thank you, Charles.
18:49Any other business?
18:53There's the question of the debenture issue.
18:56That was covered on the agenda.
18:58Yes, but we left the date open.
19:01Quite.
19:02That's all I think.
19:03Meeting closed.
19:04Thank you, gentlemen.
19:13All right, Alistair.
19:15All right.
19:16Yes, I'm fine.
19:17Can I give you a lift?
19:18No, my car's waiting.
19:19I'm going to the dentist.
19:20I see.
19:21That's why you were in such a bad mood.
19:23We'll get your treatment finished today, Mr. Poirot.
19:28No.
19:29No.
19:30As I was saying, the important people, they're always on time.
19:34Now, I've got a most important man coming this morning.
19:37Hmm?
19:38Mr. Alistair Blunt.
19:40Alistair Blunt?
19:41Oh, yes.
19:42Oh, yes.
19:43Always on time.
19:44Nice, unassuming fellow.
19:47Often sends his rolls away and walks back to the office, just like you and me.
19:52You'd never dream he could buy up half Europe.
19:54Oh, yes.
19:55Oh, yes.
19:56Oh, yes.
19:57Oh, yes.
19:58Oh, yes.
19:59Oh, yes.
20:00Oh, yes.
20:01Oh, yes.
20:02Oh, yes.
20:03Well, goodbye, Mr. Poirot.
20:18Wasn't too bad this time, was it?
20:20No, no.
20:21Shall I ring for the lift for you?
20:22No, no, no.
20:24I shall walk down.
20:25I'll see you in six months.
20:26Indeed.
20:33Mr. Blunt.
20:57Mr. Blunt.
21:03Excuse me.
21:08Oh.
21:09Oh.
21:28So kind.
21:29Not at all, madame.
21:31Oh.
21:32Oh! Oh, dear.
21:36You're welcome, Mother.
21:36Thank you so much.
21:46I have an appointment with Mr. Morley.
21:48Name?
21:49Miss Sainsbury Seal.
22:02Oh, dear.
22:32Oh, dear.
23:02It was for 45 minutes.
23:04My appointment was for half past 12.
23:06Oh, no.
23:07I shall now go back to Worthing.
23:10You may tell Mr. Morley that I am most displeased.
23:14I am most displeased.
23:20I'm most displeased.
23:51Oh, my God.
24:22Revolver grasped in lifeless fingers.
24:26Doesn't seem to be much doubt about it, does that?
24:29It has to be suicide.
24:36Sit down quiet.
24:38All right, you can move him now.
24:41So, tell me, Chief Inspector Shep.
24:44Lived upstairs with his sister.
24:47Hasn't been moody or depressed.
24:49I wondered if you'd noticed anything when you saw him this morning.
24:52Nothing at all.
24:54He was, what shall I say, normality itself.
24:57When did it occur, this tragedy?
25:01Can't say exactly.
25:03Nobody seems to have heard the shot.
25:05It was discovered about 1.30 by the page boy, Alfred Biggs.
25:10At what time did Mr. Morley last press the buzzer for a new patient?
25:14Five past twelve.
25:16And the boy showed up the patient who was waiting.
25:19A Mr. Amberiotis.
25:22Staying at the Astoria Hotel, according to the appointment book.
25:26And at what time did he leave this, Monsieur Amberiotis?
25:29Well, the boy didn't show him out, so he doesn't know.
25:32But I rang up the Astoria.
25:34And Mr. Amberiotis says he looked at his watch as he closed the front door.
25:38And it was exactly twenty-five past twelve.
25:40So, at twenty-five minutes past twelve, our dentist, he is the normal dentist, huh?
25:49Cheerful, competent, urbane.
25:50And the very next moment, despair, misery, what you will, and he shoots himself?
25:58It's quite incredible to me that my brother should have committed suicide.
26:03He'd been quite his usual self, had he, madam?
26:06Not upset in any way.
26:08He was annoyed.
26:10He had a busy day in front of him, and his assistant had received a telegram to say her aunt had had a stroke.
26:16She left for Yorkshire by an early train.
26:19And your brother, he was annoyed at this?
26:22Well, the fact is,
26:24his assistants got engaged to a rather unsuitable young man.
26:29And it occurred to Henry that this young man had persuaded her to take the day off.
26:33What does he do, this young man?
26:36Frank Carter is, or was, an insurance clerk.
26:40He lost his job a few weeks ago and seems unable to get another.
26:44Did your brother try and persuade her to break off her engagement?
26:46Oh, yes, he did, as a matter of fact.
26:50So this Frank Carter would quite possibly have a grudge against your brother.
26:56It's that Miss Neville.
26:57She's back in a rare taking, she is.
26:59The whole thing was a wicked practical joke.
27:01There wasn't anything wrong with auntie at all.
27:03She couldn't understand it when I suddenly turned up.
27:05Are you quite sure it wasn't your friend, Mr. Carter, who sent this telegram?
27:10Frank, what are we for?
27:14Oh, I see what you mean.
27:16A put-up job between us.
27:17We wouldn't do a thing like that.
27:19Tell me, mademoiselle,
27:21what patients had Monsieur Moley this morning?
27:23Oh, it's all in here.
27:32Um, ten o'clock, Mrs. Soames, about her new plate.
27:36Ten thirty, Lady Gregson, she's an elderly lady.
27:39Eleven o'clock, Mr. Hercule Poirot.
27:42Well, that's you, isn't it?
27:45Eleven thirty, Mr. Alistair Blunt, you know, the banker.
27:49Then Miss Sainsbury's Seal.
27:50She's just back from India.
27:52Twelve o'clock, Mr. Amberiotis.
27:54He was a new patient.
27:56Made his appointment from the Astoria Hotel.
27:59And twelve thirty, Mrs. Pinner.
28:01She comes up from Worthing.
28:06If you please, Alfred, tell me,
28:08is it possible for anyone to enter the house
28:10without you having to let them in?
28:12No.
28:13No, not a chance.
28:15Well, not unless they've got a key, anyway.
28:17But it is quite easy for them to leave the house.
28:21Oh, yeah.
28:22Yeah, most of them come down the stairs
28:24while I'm taking the new party up in the lift, see?
28:27Did you see Mr. Amberiotis leave?
28:29No.
28:31No, he must have let himself out.
28:32But you are quite sure that nobody else came to the house this morning,
28:36only the patients?
28:37That Miss Neville's young man came round.
28:40In a bit of a paddy he was, not to find her here.
28:42Well, you haven't heard about this before.
28:44Well, when I told him Miss Neville was out for the day,
28:47he got quite shirty.
28:49Said he'd wait and see Mr. Morley.
28:51Then he went into the waiting room.
28:53You must have seen him there, sir.
28:56Ah, yes.
28:57The troubled young man who would not sit down.
29:00Yeah, must have got tired of waiting, I suppose.
29:03He wasn't there later.
29:04Why, Chief Inspector Japp, an officer of your eminence,
29:11is he usually called in to a case of apparent suicide?
29:14Alastair Blunt was here.
29:15Mr. Blunt is the kind of person we take care of in this country.
29:19You mean that there are certain people who would like him out of the way?
29:21You bet there are.
29:22The Reds, to begin with.
29:24And our black-shirted friends.
29:26It's Blunt and his group who are standing behind the President's government.
29:29Oh, that is more or less as I guessed.
29:38Tell me something about Monsieur Blunt, Chief Inspector.
29:40Alastair Blunt, he controls all the Arnhold interests in Europe,
29:45as well as the merchant banks.
29:47He married into the family.
29:50We won't spend too long with him.
29:52I want to get on to the Astoria.
29:54As it stands at the moment, this Mr. Amberiotis
29:57was the last person to see Mr. Morley alive.
30:00This is the second occasion this year
30:03that my allowance has not been paid on time, Alastair.
30:06You must talk to the bank, Julia, or to the trustees.
30:11Only my poor dear sister was still alive.
30:14If she were alive, Mother, you couldn't benefit from her will.
30:17That is a wicked thing to say, Jane.
30:19It's not wicked, it's true.
30:22The truth is often wicked.
30:24I'm sorry, Julie, this is not my business.
30:28When I die, the capital will come to you
30:30to do with exactly as you wish.
30:32Until then...
30:32Until then, I am expected to exist.
30:36I won't say live.
30:38I'm the pittance from the Trust.
30:42$25,000 a year can scarcely be called a pittance.
30:46Do you think Rebecca intended me to live on your charity?
31:02It is not charity.
31:07Yes, Miss Montressor.
31:09A Chief Inspector Jap and a Mr. Poirot to see you, sir.
31:13Really?
31:14Would you show them in, please?
31:15A Chief Inspector Jap.
31:20How do you do, sir?
31:21This is Mr. Hercule Poirot.
31:23I know your name, of course, Monsieur Poirot.
31:26But surely, somewhere quite recently...
31:28This morning, Monsieur Blunt,
31:30in the waiting room of the dentist,
31:32Sir Pauvre, Monsieur Morley.
31:33Yes, of course, I knew I'd seen you somewhere.
31:37Pauvre?
31:38Mr. Morley was found dead, sir,
31:39shortly after you left.
31:41An apparent suicide.
31:42Morley.
31:46Suicide?
31:47What an extraordinary thing.
31:50Oh, forgive me, I'm sorry.
31:52This is my niece, Miss Oliveira,
31:55and her mother, Mrs. Oliveira.
31:56Mademoiselle, madame.
31:58I've never heard of a dentist committing suicide before.
32:03Wouldn't happen in the States.
32:04You can be sure of that.
32:05They're too damn rich to kill themselves.
32:09He seemed in good health and spirits this morning, Mr. Blunt.
32:12Well, I think so, yes.
32:13Have you seen him often?
32:14This is my third or fourth visit.
32:17Monsieur Blunt,
32:18who was it that recommended to you,
32:19Monsieur Morley, originally?
32:21Arnholdt.
32:22One of my directors, Lionel Arnholdt.
32:24And we're just wondering, you see, sir,
32:25whether it wasn't suicide, but murder.
32:28And the real target was yourself.
32:32That doesn't make any sense at all.
32:35Well, none of it does at the moment, sir.
32:37That's the problem.
32:37That's the problem.
33:08Good evening.
33:10We'd like to see Mr. Ambriotis.
33:14I'm sorry, sir.
33:15I'm afraid you can't.
33:17Oh, yes, I can, my lad.
33:19Police.
33:21You don't understand, sir.
33:23Mr. Ambriotis died half an hour ago.
33:37I am not a manют.
33:53I am not a man.
33:58I am not a man陽.
34:01I can't say.
34:13Interesting.
34:15Interesting Dr. Manning.
34:17Mr. Amberiot has died of heart failure.
34:21Heart failure?
34:23Brought about by an overdose of adrenaline and Novocaine.
34:27How large an overdose?
34:29As I say yet, these quantitative analyses take time.
34:32I'll be able to tell you tomorrow.
34:34Novocaine's a stuffed dentist give you, isn't it?
34:36That's right Chief Inspector.
34:38The subject had been to the dentist I believe.
34:47What a washout.
34:48What do you mean Chief Inspector?
34:50Morley makes a mistake and injects an overdose.
34:52Then when Amberiotis is gone he realizes what he's done,
34:55can't face the music and shoots himself.
34:58The pistol he is not known to possess?
35:00Relations don't know everything.
35:01No, that is true of course.
35:03Well, there we are then.
35:06All the same Chief Inspector.
35:08He does not quite satisfy me.
35:10Ah, cheer up Poirot.
35:11We can't have a nice juicy murder every time.
35:17Committed suicide?
35:19Mr. Morley?
35:20Poor man.
35:22I suppose he had something on his mind.
35:26Such worrying times we live in.
35:29Did he seem worried to you, Miss Sainsbury's?
35:33Well, I can't really say you know that he did.
35:37Can you tell us who else was in the waiting room while you were there?
35:42Let me see.
35:44There was just one young man there when I went in.
35:47I think he was in pain because he was muttering to himself and looking quite wild.
35:52And then suddenly he jumped up and went out.
35:55And he was the only other patient that you noticed?
35:58A gentleman came down the stairs and went out just as I went up to Mr. Morley.
36:04Oh, and I remember a very peculiar foreigner came out of the house just as I arrived.
36:13That was I, madame.
36:18Oh, oh dear.
36:21Oh, do forgive me.
36:23Oh, the light in here is so dim.
36:25Please calm yourself, madame.
36:29Well, I think that's about all, Miss Sainsbury's heel.
36:32We may require you to give evidence at the inquest, of course.
36:35Oh no.
36:36I would be so nervous.
36:38Well, no need to be nervous, madame.
36:41Just stand up and speak clearly.
36:44Oh, that's very amusing, Chief Inspector.
36:47Is it?
36:48I used to be an actress.
36:50Just small parts, you know.
36:52Then I went on a world tour.
36:55Yes, well...
36:59Well, if my name should be in the papers,
37:02as a witness at the inquest, I mean,
37:04you will be sure that it's spelt right, won't you?
37:08Miss Mabel Sainsbury's heel.
37:11Bebel spelt M-A-B-E-L-L-E.
37:22Blimey!
37:30I can only give you a few moments, I'm afraid, Mr. Farrow.
37:34I'm going to see Traviata at Covent Garden.
37:36Ah.
37:37Thank you, Mr. Randolph.
37:45What's this all about?
37:47It is about the death of the dentist, Mr. Henry Mollet.
37:51It was you, was it not, who recommended him to Mr. Blunt.
37:54Yes.
37:55I've been going to him for years.
37:57You don't think I killed him, do you?
37:59Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
38:01Quelle idée.
38:02No.
38:03It is just that I'm given to wonder
38:05whether Mr. Blunt was not perhaps the intended victim.
38:08I don't quite see how that works.
38:11No.
38:12At this moment, Mr. Randolph, neither do I.
38:15One grips at the straws.
38:17But tell me,
38:19Madame Oliveira, the sister-in-law to Mr. Blunt,
38:22she is une dame formidable, n'est-pea?
38:25Oh, indeed.
38:26Right.
38:27How did Madame Oliveira take to Mr. Blunt marrying her sister?
38:31I mean, after all, he was a mere employee of the family business.
38:35I don't know about Mia.
38:37Alistair was head of our overseas investments department.
38:40Ah.
38:41But I don't think Aunt Julia looked at it like that anyway.
38:44They were so obviously crazy about each other.
38:47Nobody, of course, knew,
38:49but she was already suffering from the disease that killed her four years later.
38:53A tragedy.
38:55Yes.
39:01Pardon.
39:03I must attain you no longer from your Monsieur Verdi.
39:07Monsieur Anhalt, I thank you very much for your patience,
39:11and I hope that you enjoy the opera.
39:44I formed the opinion that Mr. Amberiotis died of heart failure,
39:56caused by a large overdose of a novocaine and adrenaline mixture.
40:01The dentist who treated Mr. Amberiotis earlier on the day of his death is now himself dead, I understand.
40:11So I understand, sir.
40:13Thank you, Dr. Bennett.
40:20Well, there doesn't seem much doubt, gentlemen, that this is a case of accidental death.
40:24A very unfortunate case.
40:26Did Mr. Morley accidentally give his patient too large a dose of the anaesthetic?
40:36Or did Mr. Amberiotis have an unusual reaction to it?
40:41Since Mr. Morley is now himself dead, we shall never have the answer to this.
40:51Nevertheless, it is your duty, of course, gentlemen of the jury,
40:57to consider all possibilities before you arrive at your verdict.
41:01But I must remind you that before you arrive at your verdict,
41:05you would have been convinced beyond the least that you've done it.
41:12And there was no intention of the pardoning of this.
41:15No unknown.
41:17Nobody's seen Hyde nor Hare in the Sainsbury scene since Tuesday.
41:22Such a nice type of woman.
41:24And she seemed so happy here.
41:26I wouldn't have bothered you with this, sir,
41:28but I remember she'd been a witness in that other case.
41:30No, quite right, Bedos.
41:36Why should she disappear?
41:43It is curious, you admit.
41:46There's nothing funny about her, you know.
41:48I cabled Calcutta.
41:50Got the reply back last night.
41:52She went out there as an actress and then took to good works.
41:56Got hand in glove with the missionaries, apparently.
41:59What I call a terrible woman.
42:02But definitely not the type to get mixed up in a murder.
42:08You got anything?
42:09Stockings.
42:1010-inch, cheap silk, price, probably 2 shillings and 11 pence.
42:19You're not valuing for probate, Poirot.
42:21Oh, Mr. Poirot!
42:22Oh, Mr. Poirot!
42:34Oh, what a pleasant surprise.
42:35I'm so sorry to worry you like this.
42:36But I had to see you.
42:37I was very upset by the inquest this morning.
42:38It couldn't happen the way they said it did.
42:39Giving a patient an overdose, I mean.
42:41Dentists get into the habit of giving the regulation amount automatically.
42:42But you did not say this in the coroner's court.
42:43I was afraid of making things worse.
42:44People might think he did it deliberately.
42:45I see.
42:46Shall we discuss this further?
42:47Come.
42:48Shall we discuss this further?
42:49Come.
42:50Come.
42:52Who, is a doctor once, I can talk about his wedding ring?
42:56Is a doctor a doctor, and he was a doctor, Titerian, who is a doctor, and also the doctor.
42:58And he has to be, Titerian.
42:59And also, is this doctor?
43:00And he is a doctor to tell him the doctor, Titerian?
43:01Yes, sir?
43:02No.
43:03Well, we'll have to try and see you for the doctor.
43:04After the doctor, the doctor, I can't make a doctor.
43:06You can see what's going on to measure, Titerian.
43:08I remember.
43:09Who says your doctor?
43:10It's not good to see the doctor as well.
43:11She's not the doctor, Titerian.
43:13She's a doctor.
43:14He is so scared of the doctor.
43:15He's a doctor.
43:16I said, Titerian, Titerian, Titerian.
43:17I should like to know a little bit more about the telegram you received calling you away on that
43:28day. Do you yourself have any ideas on the subject? Not really. Frank, my friend, accused me of wanting
43:40to go off for the day with somebody else. He's been very moody and suspicious lately. Just losing his
43:47job and not being able to get another one, I suppose. And he was upset, was he not, to discover that you
43:52had gone away on that day? Yes. You see, he'd come round to tell me how he'd got this marvellous new
43:56job. Ten pounds a week. He wanted me to know right away. And what is it, this new job? Well, I don't
44:07know all the details. Some government department. I have to write to his London address and the
44:13letters get forwarded. Oh, does that not seem to you to be a little strange? Well, I thought so.
44:21But Frank says it's often done nowadays. I should like to meet this friend of yours, mademoiselle.
44:30His only free day is Sunday. He's away in the country all the week. Eh bien, tomorrow is Sunday.
44:37I'm fed up with hearing about Morley's death, to be quite honest. There wasn't anything so
44:52wonderful about him that I could see. Tell me, Monsieur Carter, why were you in Harley Street
44:59that day? I saw you there in the waiting room. All right. I was going to tell Morley that this
45:11business of putting Gladys against me had gone on long enough, that I'd landed a good job
45:16and then it was about time she handed in a notice and thought about her truth, sir.
45:19But you did not actually tell him these things. I got fed up with waiting in that dingy mausoleum,
45:25so I left. At what time did you leave? I can't remember.
45:29I've got to get going. The march will be starting soon.
45:36It has been a great pleasure to meet you, Monsieur Carter.
45:42And, yes, I am delighted to hear about your new job. The work, it is interesting, n'est-ce pas?
45:49Oh, yeah. I'll see you next week, Gladys. Goodbye, Frank. Au revoir, Monsieur Carter.
46:19Are you receiving visitors, Mum and me? Good heavens. Poirot.
46:29Chief Inspector. What on earth brings you to Isleworth on a Sunday afternoon?
46:32Business? What else? Well, you'd better come inside and have a cup of tea.
46:45Madam Jabb, she is not at home?
46:47No, no. Some blessed meeting.
46:51Women's Institute. Parish Council or something. I know.
46:57Do you take sugar, Poirot?
46:59Do you have, perhaps, a tisane?
47:02Come off it, Poirot. This is Isleworth, you know. Not just one late pan.
47:10What's the business, anyway?
47:12I wondered if you'd been able to trace the telegram that was sent to Moselle Gladys Never.
47:18Yes, we did, as a matter of fact.
47:21Rather clever.
47:23The aunt lives in Richmond, in Yorkshire.
47:26The telegram was handed in in Richmond, Surrey.
47:28Just down the road here.
47:30Do you know what I think, Chief Inspector?
47:32What's that?
47:33I think there are signs of brains in this business.
47:43Well, the Assistant Commissioner's satisfied that Morley killed himself.
47:47Is he satisfied with the disappearing lady?
47:49Ah, the case of the disappearing seal.
47:53No.
47:55I'm still working on that.
47:57She's got to be somewhere.
48:01Hmm.
48:01Oh, Gary Boldy.
48:09And I really think my feelings ought to be considered in the matter, Alistair.
48:13But your feelings have been considered, Mother.
48:15Yes, Julia, that is true.
48:16Mr. Poirot, to see you, Mr. Blunt.
48:21Thank you, Helen, Monsieur Poirot.
48:23It's very good of you to come.
48:24Monsieur Blunt.
48:25Well, if you are going to talk horrors, I shall leave.
48:34Allow me.
48:35I'll see you at home, Jane.
48:39Madame.
48:42You've met Miss Oliveira, I think?
48:45Oh, yes, indeed, Mademoiselle.
48:47Please.
48:49I hope I haven't asked you here in a wild goose chase, Mr. Poirot.
48:52It's about this missing woman that the papers are full of, Miss Sainsbury's seal.
48:57Yes.
48:57Jane, I'm sure this is utterly unimportant.
49:01Why we are wasting Monsieur Poirot's time, I really don't know.
49:04If you please, Monsieur Blunt, allow Poirot to decide.
49:08Well, Sainsbury's seal is such a pompous name, that's why I remember.
49:12It was the last time Uncle Alistair went to the dentist.
49:15I don't mean the other day, I mean about a week ago.
49:18I was with him, and we stopped in Harley Street,
49:21and just as he got out, a woman came out of the dentist,
49:24a middle-aged woman with fussy hair and rather dowdy clothes.
49:30Oh, Mr. Blunt, you don't remember me, I'm sure.
49:32People are always saying that, and I never do.
49:36I was a great friend of your wife's, you know.
49:38They usually say that, too.
49:40It always ends the same way, a subscription to some charity or other.
49:44Five pounds to a Zanana mission this time.
49:47And had she really known your wife, Monsieur Blunt?
49:50Well, the mention of the Zanana mission made me think she may have done.
49:55We were in India about four years ago, just before my wife's death.
49:58Perhaps we met once at a reception.
50:01I think it's queer the way she tried to scrape an acquaintance with you.
50:06And she did not try to, um, how do you say, follow it up in any way?
50:12Why, no.
50:13I'd forgotten her name even until Jane spotted it in the paper.
50:18Well, I just thought you ought to be told, Monsieur Poirot.
50:21I'd forgotten her name again.
50:51I'd forgotten her name again.
51:21I'd forgotten her name again.
51:22I'd forgotten her name again.
51:23I'd forgotten her name again.
51:24I'd forgotten her name again.
51:25I'd forgotten her name again.
51:26I'd forgotten her name again.
51:27I'd forgotten her name again.
51:28I'd forgotten her name again.
51:29I'd forgotten her name again.
51:30I'd forgotten her name again.
51:31I'd forgotten her name again.
51:32I'd forgotten her name again.
51:33I'd forgotten her name again.
51:34I'd forgotten her name again.
51:35I'd forgotten her name again.
51:36I'd forgotten her name again.
51:37I'd forgotten her name again.
51:38I'd forgotten her name again.
51:39I'd forgotten her name again.
51:40I'd forgotten her name again.
51:41I'd forgotten her name again.
51:42I'd forgotten her name again.
51:43I'd forgotten her name again.
51:44I'd forgotten her name again.
