00:00You
01:14Here.
01:16Here, Alison.
01:18What?
01:19There's a thing here about a woman who came here.
01:22Miss Sainsbury's Seal.
01:25Says here she's missing.
01:30You don't have a passkey?
01:32No, I've never had one.
01:34You can't just break in.
01:36Well, I suppose something's happened to her.
01:38Yes, and suppose she's gone off on holidays.
01:40Oh, no. Oh, no.
01:43Go on, Sarge.
01:45Right.
01:46Hmm.
01:47Mrs. Chapman!
01:48Leave it to us.
01:49Mrs. Chapman!
01:51Mrs. Chapman!
01:52Leave it to us.
01:53Mrs. Chapman!
01:54Leave it to us.
01:56Mrs. Chapman!
01:57Hello?
01:58Hello?
01:59I'm sorry.
02:00Have a good time.
02:01Oh, my God.
02:02He's a good time.
02:03Mrs. Chapman!
02:04Leave it to us.
02:06Mrs. Chapman!
02:07Leave it to us.
02:08Mrs. Chapman!
02:09Leave it to us.
02:10Mrs. Chapman!
02:11Mrs. Chapman!
02:17Sarge?
02:26Hello?
02:32Anybody there?
02:38Mrs. Chapman?
02:41Mrs. Chapman?
02:44Hello?
02:53Anybody here?
03:06Mrs. Chapman?
03:12What's that?
03:13I don't know.
03:20Shall I open it, Sarge?
03:22Go on, Lou.
03:23Excuse me.
03:42Excuse me.
03:43Yeah.
04:01I'm swamps.
04:04It's not particularly pleasant.
04:05Not particularly pleasant.
04:18That's the porter being six, sir. I had to get him to have another look at the body to identify it.
04:23Ahem.
04:31There's some brandy in the other room.
04:45It was not pretty, that.
05:04Tell me all about it, Chief Inspector.
05:16The flat belongs to a Mrs. Albert Chapman.
05:20Can't tell you much about her, really.
05:22Pays her bills. Fond of a game of bridge.
05:26Keeps herself to herself, more or less.
05:30The neighbors say they've hardly ever seen her, in fact.
05:33And Mr. Chapman's a commercial traveller, apparently,
05:36so he spends most of his time away from home.
05:40And, Mademoiselle, since Brazil?
05:43She came here on the evening of our interview with her, about 7.15.
05:48The porter's wife was cleaning up here and saw her arrive.
05:52She'd been here once before, the porter says.
05:55No, one thing's for certain.
05:57Sylvia Chapman, or Sylvia's friends, murdered the lady,
06:01put her in the box, and made off.
06:03But why was the face so battered?
06:06Sheer vindictiveness, maybe.
06:08Or it may have been with the idea of concealing the woman's identity.
06:11I don't know.
06:16No fingerprints anywhere, as far as we can see.
06:19You mean every fingerprint in the apartment was removed after the murder?
06:23That's about the size of it.
06:24I don't know if you download the book, so I'm telling her I'm hiding it.
06:25You're there for sure.
06:26I'm jednak a little bit.
06:27There you go in and you've got the exorcism,
06:28and I'm in with the cat gall
06:32It l Fehld who's mentioned far from the slaught to the owner's novel.
06:34You're in theeng lock of cash in the roof.
06:36Ah.
06:38I don't know if I didn't believe you.
06:41You're dead, 100%, but again he's transformed andвар,
06:42I don't know if I couldn't mind really your memory or how you in your way look.
06:44Didn't separate them again,
06:45you can wonder how you can do it,
06:46well, they don't know if you want to fix it.
06:48Okay, what'd you hang in with the сделan process of it?
06:49And when you think about,
06:51Is something worrying you, Poirot?
07:11It is.
07:15It is. I'm very seriously worried.
07:21There is here, you see, an insoluble problem.
07:44One patent leather shoe, complete with buckle.
07:47What's wrong with that? Nothing.
07:51Absolutely nothing.
07:56All the same, I do not understand.
08:07Some bills belonging to Madame Chapman.
08:10Some old theatre programmes.
08:25A leaflet of others are non-emissions.
08:26Well, you can guess who brought that here.
08:32Nothing much of interest in the address book, either, sir.
08:34Well, so I see.
08:38Hairdressers, dressmakers.
08:43Dentist, Morley, 168 Harley Street.
08:46Not so strange, if she was a friend of the Sainsbury's Seal woman.
08:50The Sainsbury's Seal woman.
08:52Mr. Poirot, what brings you here?
09:22Tell me, if you please, did your brother ever mention to you in particular a Mademoiselle Saint-Bressier or a Madame Chapman?
09:31No. No, I don't think so.
09:35I managed to make this before they took everything, Miss Morley.
09:38Oh, thank you, Agnes.
09:39Would you like the cup, sir?
09:41Not for me, Agnes. Thank you very much.
09:45Agnes is coming with me to the country.
09:48She's becoming quite a good little cook, so she'll be able to do everything for me.
09:53Excuse me, sir. Yes. For asking. Yes.
09:58But does anyone know anything more about the Master's death, sir?
10:14Nothing fresh has come to light, Agnes.
10:17They're still quite sure he shot himself because he'd made a mistake with that drug.
10:21Yeah. Why do you ask?
10:24I only...
10:25Agnes!
10:26Agnes?
10:27I just want to be sure, sir.
10:28Agnes!
10:29Agnes!
10:30Agnes!
10:31Agnes!
10:32Agnes!
10:33Agnes!
10:34Agnes!
10:35Agnes!
10:36Agnes!
10:37Agnes!
10:38Agnes!
10:39Agnes!
10:40Agnes!
10:41Agnes!
10:42Agnes!
10:43Agnes!
10:44Agnes!
10:45Agnes!
10:46Agnes!
10:47Agnes!
10:48Agnes!
10:49Agnes!
10:50Agnes!
10:51Agnes!
10:52Agnes!
10:53Agnes!
10:54Agnes!
10:55Agnes!
10:56Agnes!
10:57Agnes!
10:58Agnes!
10:59Where?
11:00They booked him to the Montague Hotel this morning.
11:02The Montague Hotel Bloomsbury?
11:03That's right.
11:04It is odd is it not that being on the run after murdering Mademoiselle Sainsbury's seal,
11:09that they have not run further.
11:10You never can tell with a criminal mind, Poirot.
11:22Open up!
11:24Who is it?
11:25Police!
11:27Police?
11:28Just open the door, Mr Chapman.
11:34Yeah!
11:35All right, there's no need for anyone to get hurt.
11:38You are Mr Albert Chapman?
11:41Yes.
11:42And this is Mrs Chapman?
11:45Yes.
11:46What's the meaning of this?
11:48I'll ask the question, sir.
11:49Do you live at number 45 Litchfield Court in Battersea in the county...
11:53No.
11:54What do you mean, no?
11:56Well, we don't.
11:59Do we, Beryl?
12:01Beryl?
12:02What's wrong with Beryl?
12:04We happen to know that your name is Sylvia, Mrs Chapman.
12:07What are you talking about?
12:09We live in Budleigh Salterton.
12:12Not this Litchfield place.
12:14You have proof of that, I suppose.
12:16Well, no, I have.
12:18Yes.
12:19I have.
12:21Watch in bed, Ove.
12:22What's this?
12:24Our wedding lines, if you must know.
12:25We were married.
12:26This morning.
12:28Good morning.
12:31What's this?
12:32Our wedding lines, if you must know.
12:34We were married.
12:36This morning.
13:37I swear by Almighty God that the evidence I shall give shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
14:02You are Mr. John Letheran?
14:05Yes, sir.
14:06And you are a dentist?
14:08Yes, sir.
14:09I've taken over to dental practice in the late Mr. Henry Morley at 168 Harley Street.
14:14I see.
14:16You were recently called to examine the body of the deceased for purposes of identification.
14:25Were you not?
14:25Uh, I was, sir.
14:28The police believe the body to be that of Miss Maybel Sainsbury Seal, who was a patient of Mr. Morley's.
14:33I see.
14:35You've inherited, as it were, the late Mr. Morley's patients.
14:39That's right, sir.
14:40And, of course, their dental records.
14:43Quite.
14:43And could you identify the body, uh, from these records?
14:47I could, sir.
14:49It was not Miss Sainsbury Seal.
14:51It was Mrs. Sylvia Chapman, another patient of Mr. Morley's.
14:54The fair Maybel put one over on as good and proper.
15:12I wouldn't have thought she was capable of murder, but that's what it looks like now.
15:17Sylvia didn't murder Maybel.
15:18Maybel murdered Sylvia.
15:20Perhaps.
15:22It crossed my mind that Morley might have been killed so he couldn't identify the body.
15:27But as you have just heard, Chief Inspector, the records would still have existed.
15:31That's right.
15:33Anyway, I'm going back to work.
15:35Oh, Chief Inspector, this morning I received a letter from Monsieur Blunt.
15:39He has invited me to his house in the country.
15:42He may have a commission for me.
15:44Well, you always did move in exalted circles, Poirot.
15:49Helen isn't dining with us tonight?
16:04I suggested that it would be far better for her to rest than to go to all the bother of dressing herself up and coming down.
16:13She saw my point.
16:15Oh?
16:17I thought it might make a pleasant change for her.
16:20I really don't see why you need a secretary during the weekend anyway.
16:28She's new to the job.
16:29There's a lot she needs to learn.
16:30Mr. Poirot?
16:46There's a great deal about which I am not entirely satisfied.
16:51What do you want of me, Monsieur Blunt?
16:55I want you to find this woman at the Sainsbury's Seal.
16:58Alive or dead?
17:02You think she may be dead?
17:11I think she might be dead, yes.
17:16Why do you think so?
17:20Because of a pair of new silk stockings I discovered.
17:23You're an odd man, Monsieur Poirot.
17:30Oh, yes, I am.
17:32Very odd.
17:34That is to say,
17:36I am methodical, orderly, and logical.
17:40And I do not like to distort facts to support a theory.
17:43Do not like to distort facts to support a theory.
18:18Good morning.
18:48Good morning, Mr. Poirot. Did you sleep well?
19:01Excellently, thank you, Monsieur Blunt.
19:03Good morning, Mademoiselle.
19:05Good morning, Mr. Poirot.
19:06I would prefer not to accept any invitations, Mr. Blunt, while your American relations are with you.
19:21Good morning.
19:23Julia, I'm afraid you'd rather hurt Helen's feelings.
19:27Oh, for heaven's sake, Alistair. She's only a secretary.
19:38I noticed that you have a gardener who you must have employed recently.
19:42Yes, we took one on a couple of weeks ago.
19:48Do you know from where he came?
19:51I'm afraid not.
19:52McAllister, the head gardener, engaged him.
19:55What is his name?
19:56I don't know. Dunning.
19:59Sunbury, something of the sort.
20:00Seems like lots of people are up for your blood, Uncle Alistair.
20:10Oh, really?
20:11What are you reading?
20:14Oh, the debate in the house.
20:16That's only Archeton.
20:17If we don't even have his way, England will be bankrupt within a week.
20:21Did you know there are over two million unemployed in this country?
20:24One can't make an omelet without breaking eggs, Jane.
20:28I think we do pretty well, all things considered.
20:31Industrial production was up 3% last year.
20:34Take no notice of what Jane says.
20:37You know what girls are.
20:40They go to these parties in studios,
20:43and then they come home and talk a lot of nonsense.
20:45Oh, mother.
20:48I'm afraid I'm one of the last of the old guard, Monsieur Poirot.
20:51And if the old guard should be removed,
20:55what would happen?
20:57Removed?
20:59I'll tell you.
21:01A lot of damn fools would try a lot of very costly experiments.
21:05It would be the end of stability, of common sense, and of solvency.
21:08Oh.
21:21Of course, we've always taken great pride in our herbaceous borders here.
21:25They're a lot of work, mind, but well worth the effort, I've always thought.
21:28Ah, now, these flowers here, they're beautiful.
21:31Yes.
21:32They're particularly good this year.
21:33And look at these here.
21:36Good God!
21:38Drop that gun!
21:39Was it me, I tell you?
21:41Oh, no, just shooting at the birds, I suppose.
21:43Oh, my God!
21:45I caught him right at it!
21:46I was just weeding the beds.
21:49I heard a shot, the gun fell right on my feet,
21:52I picked it up, and this stupid cow jumped on me!
21:54Now then, Dunning, Dunbury, what is your name?
21:57His name is Frankie Carter.
21:59You?
22:01You've had it in for me all along.
22:02I never fired that shot!
22:04In that case, who did?
22:06As you can see,
22:08there is no one else here but ourselves.
22:10as you can see...
22:11as you can see.
22:11You really must not agitate yourself.
22:41I'm sorry, Mademoiselle Neville.
22:43First they try to pretend that Frank attempted to murder Mr. Blunt.
22:48And now they've accused him of murdering poor Mr. Morley.
22:52Sugar?
22:54No, thank you.
22:56I was down there, you know, at Exxam, when the shot was fired, Monsieur Blunt.
23:02It's these black shirts.
23:04They march around waving their banners.
23:07They have this ridiculous salute.
23:09And they work up these poor men like Frank
23:11until they think they're doing something wonderful and patriotic.
23:15And that is the defence of Monsieur Carter?
23:17No! I haven't seen him, of course. They wouldn't let me.
23:20He has a solicitor working for him.
23:36And he told me what Frank had said.
23:38He met a man in a public house who said he was in the secret service.
23:46And he offered Frank this wonderful job.
23:50He was to take up the post of Gardner.
23:54And listen to all the other Gardner's conversations.
23:58And sound them out as to their red tendencies.
24:02He had to pretend to be a bit of a red himself.
24:05And this solicitor, he is of the opinion that his client would do better to think of a story that is more plausible.
24:13Lawyers.
24:15He wouldn't believe how difficult they are.
24:18Well, what did you think of the housemaid, Agnes?
24:28I didn't think at all about her.
24:31Mr. Morley's sister kept a strict eye on the maids.
24:34Oh.
24:36Why are you asking?
24:38She wrote to me a letter.
24:40And as yet I do not know why.
25:09Thank you, sir.
25:11What?
25:12You're here, madam.
25:27I hope you didn't mind me writing you that letter, sir.
25:29Only I didn't want for you to come to the house.
25:34Only I didn't want for you to come to the house.
25:37I mean, if I was to say anything in front of Miss Morley,
25:40she might say us how I ought to have said something before.
25:43But me and the cook, we'd read in the papers
25:46how the master had made a mistake with that drug
25:48and that it had shot himself.
25:50So it did seem quite clear, didn't it, sir?
25:53When did you begin to feel differently, Agnes?
25:56Seeing it in that paper, sir, about that Frank Carter.
26:00Shooting at that gentleman.
26:01I mean, up till then,
26:06neither of us thought he'd done anything to Mr Morley.
26:09We just thought he was a bit queer.
26:13What was queer, Agnes?
26:15It was that morning, sir.
26:17The morning Mr Morley shot himself.
26:21I was wondering if I dared run down and get the post.
26:24So I went out on the landing and I looked down over the stairs.
26:30And it was then that I saw him.
26:32That Frank Carter, down on the stairs below.
26:35He was just standing there, like, waiting.
26:39Then he seemed to make up his mind
26:41and he sort of went very quickly down the stairs towards the master's surgery.
26:45And I thought to myself,
26:48the master won't like that.
26:52Agnes!
26:53But just then, cook called me and I went back into the kitchen.
26:57And afterwards, I heard the master had shot himself and it was so awful,
27:00it just drove everything out of my head.
27:03Tell me, Agnes,
27:05did you actually see Frank Carter enter the room of Mr Morley?
27:09He must have done, sir.
27:13At what time was this?
27:15Must have been about half past twelve, sir.
27:17I want to see Frank Carter.
27:38What's the big idea?
27:40You are unwilling?
27:44What do you want to see Carter for?
27:47Ask him if he really murdered Morley?
27:49Yes.
27:49And I suppose you think he'll tell you if he did.
27:52He might tell me, yes.
27:55That can only mean that you've got hold of something
27:57that proves more or less conclusively that he didn't.
28:00You ought to play fair with us, Poirot.
28:03I am playing fair with you, Chief Inspector.
28:07Believe me.
28:13It's a damn lie you paid her to say that.
28:30Anger and abuse will not help you, Mr. Carter.
28:34Agnes is going to tell her story and it is going to be believed.
28:39You were on the stairs.
28:40Agnes did see you and you did go into the room of Mr. Morley.
28:44What happened then?
28:46It's a lie!
28:54No.
28:57It is not a lie.
29:03If you did not kill Mr. Morley,
29:06your only hope is to tell me the exact truth
29:09of what happened that morning.
29:16God curse you if you let me down now.
29:18God curse you if you let me down now.
29:39I did go in.
29:43I went up the stairs and waited above Morley's land
29:45until I could be sure of getting him alone.
29:49Then a bearded gent came out and went down the stairs.
29:52I was just making up my mind to go when another gent came out and went down the stairs too.
30:03I knew I had to be quick.
30:06I went along and nipped into his room without knocking.
30:08I was all set to have it out with him.
30:10But he was lying there, dead.
30:13And I could see the bullet hole in his head with a black crust of blood round him.
30:24It was cold.
30:30I knew I was in a jam then.
30:31They were going to say I'd done it.
30:41I hadn't touched anything except his hand and the doorknob.
30:45I wiped that with my handkerchief, both sides, as I went out.
30:49There was nobody in the oil and I let myself out and legged it as fast as I could.
30:56That's the truth.
30:57He was dead already.
30:58You've got to believe me.
30:59By telling me the truth,
31:11you have just saved yourself from being hanged.
31:17I don't see it.
31:18They're going to save on you.
31:19Mr. Gutter, your story has confirmed what I knew to be the truth.
31:25You can leave it now to me.
31:29Jack?
31:30Ah, Poirot.
31:30I don't see it.
31:31Jack?
31:31Jack?
31:31Jack?
31:31Jack?
31:32Ah, Poirot.
31:33Oh.
31:56Jack.
31:57Ah, Poirot.
32:00Yes.
32:03Yes.
32:07What?
32:09No, Poirot.
32:13Well, I'd have to get clearance on this, you know.
32:18Go on.
32:21Yeah.
32:24All right, I'll do what I can.
32:26Thank you, Chief Inspector.
32:33I know, I know, I know, I know.
32:36Mr. Hercule Poirot, sir.
32:59This is about Miss Sainsbury's seal, is it? Have you found her?
33:02I hope you do not object, Monsieur Blunt, but I have invited a few other people to join us.
33:15I'm not walking through the streets in handcuffs.
33:18You walk through the streets in anything I tell you, my lad.
33:27I hope this is a matter of importance, Alistair.
33:30That Belgian detective sent a most insolent message to us.
33:35Mother.
33:53Miss Neville to see you, sir.
33:56Mademoiselle Neville.
33:58Are there many more, Monsieur Poirot?
34:01If so, we may be more comfortable in the boardroom.
34:05Is the boardroom free, Miss Montrezor?
34:07Yes, Mr. Blunt.
34:15Frank!
34:20All right, all right.
34:21We're still in His Majesty's custody, you know.
34:23Show a bit of respect.
34:24Come on.
34:25Come on.
34:30Mesdames et Monsieur, good afternoon.
34:36Since the beginning of this case, three people have died.
34:40Pauvre Monsieur Morley, pauvre Monsieur Ambariotis, and pauvre Mademoiselle Sainsbury's seal.
34:46I thought she was still missing.
34:49No, no, no, no, Mademoiselle.
34:51In fact, Mademoiselle Sainsbury's seal was dead even before the investigations of this case began.
34:55The porter at Litchfield court told us that Mademoiselle Sainsbury's seal had been to visit Madame Chapman.
35:07He saw her go to the apartment and be let in.
35:10She never came out again.
35:12No.
35:14Mademoiselle Sainsbury's seal was never ever seen again until the police, they broke in to the box room of Madame Chapman.
35:20You mean it was Mabel Sainsbury's seal's body in that flat after all?
35:24Indeed it was, my dear Mademoiselle Neville.
35:27You see, it was a very clever double bluff.
35:31The disfigured face was meant to raise the question of the identity of the woman.
35:35But for me, the case, it began with a shoe.
35:45As I left the dentist after my séance, a taxi stopped, a door opened, and a foot of a woman prepared to descend.
35:54It was a foot that was well shaped, with a good ankle, and an expensive stocking.
36:02The shoe was new, shining, patent leather, with a large, ornate buckle.
36:08And when the rest of the lady came into sight, to be frank, it was quite a disappointment.
36:15As Mademoiselle Sainsbury's seal descended from the taxi, she caught her shoe buckle, and it was wrenched off.
36:22I picked it up and returned it to her.
36:27Not at all, madame.
36:28Oh!
36:29Oh, dear.
36:32You are welcome, madame.
36:33Thank you so much.
36:38That was all.
36:39The incident, it was closed.
36:46I'm sorry, Mr. Blunt, to interrupt.
36:48I finished the post.
36:49Is it all right if I leave now?
36:50Oh, no, no, no, no, no, please.
36:52Mademoiselle Montresseau, please, come and join the party.
36:55Monsieur Poirot is expanding some extremely entertaining theories.
36:59Please.
37:00Go on, Poirot.
37:17When Chief Inspector Japp summoned me to Litchfield Court, because the body had been discovered,
37:25the first thing that I noticed was a shabby buckled shoe.
37:32Well?
37:33Ah, you have failed to appreciate the point, Monsieur Blunt.
37:38It was a shabby shoe.
37:41It was a well-worn shoe.
37:44But you see, Mademoiselle Sainsbury's seal visited the apartment on the evening of the
37:50same day of the murder of Monsieur Morley.
37:52So in the morning, they were the new shoes.
37:54In the evening, they were the old shoes.
37:55I can't see why that's important.
37:59Eh bien, Mademoiselle, Poirot does not like things he cannot explain.
38:06Madame Chapman took a size five-inch shoes.
38:10I knew that Mademoiselle Sainsbury's seal wore a ten-inch stocking.
38:15That is to say, she took at least a size six-inch shoes.
38:20So I went back to re-examine the body.
38:24My idea was that the face had been disfigured to hide the fact that it really was the body
38:30of Madame Chapman dressed in the clothes of Mademoiselle Sainsbury's seal.
38:35Oui, non?
38:36The shoe on the body was size six.
38:40So it looked as if it was the body of Mademoiselle Sainsbury's seal after all.
38:46But then why was the face so disfigured?
38:49By coincidence, the dentist of Mademoiselle Sainsbury's seal was also the dentist of Madame
38:55Chapman, Monsieur Morley.
38:58But he was dead.
39:00However, the records, they would have still existed, eh?
39:03So the successor to Monsieur Morley would have been able to positively identify the body
39:07as that of Mademoiselle Sainsbury's seal.
39:09And could you identify the body from his records?
39:13I could, sir.
39:14It was not Miss Sainsbury's seal.
39:16It was Mrs. Sylvia Chapman, another patient of Mr. Morley's.
39:20But if it was the body of Madame Chapman, why was she dressed in the clothes of Mademoiselle
39:26Sainsbury's seal?
39:30An interesting problem, n'est-ce pas?
39:33So, I cast my mind back to the Mademoiselle Sainsbury's seal whom I had met, whom the Chief
39:39Inspector Jack had met.
39:40I used to be an actress.
39:43Just small parts, you know.
39:45Then I went on a world tour.
39:48Yes, well.
39:49And although everything about her and everything she said was in perfect accord with her given
39:53character, I am now convinced that the Mademoiselle Sainsbury's seal whom we had met and the Mademoiselle
39:59Sainsbury's seal who accosted you, Monsieur Blunt.
40:01You don't remember me, Mademoiselle.
40:04Gerda and I were on tour together.
40:06They were not the same woman.
40:08You mean Miss Sainsbury's seal was murdered and someone else took over her identity?
40:13Precisement.
40:17A game that is very dangerous, n'est-ce pas?
40:22But the rewards, they were very high.
40:27Rewards?
40:28What rewards?
40:29In just one moment, if you please, Madame Oliveira.
40:34Perhaps Mr. Morley was murdered because he would have been able to identify Miss Sainsbury's
40:39seal's body by her teeth.
40:42Perhaps.
40:44However.
40:47Now, we must face the facts.
40:53In the beginning, we believed that the body of Monsieur Morley was first discovered by the
40:59page boy Alfred at about 1.30.
41:03But the fact is, I now know that the body was first discovered by Monsieur Frank Carter about
41:11one hour earlier at about 12.30.
41:14Two things occurred between the death of Monsieur Morley and the discovery of his body by Monsieur Carter.
41:30The lady whose shoe buckle I retrieved was shown into the surgery of Monsieur Morley.
41:36While her accomplice drags the body into the office of the secretary, the second Mademoiselle
41:50Sainsbury's seal changes the labels on the files of Monsieur Morley to ensure that the body
41:57would be identified as that of Madame Chapman.
42:03She then leaves.
42:07Alfred shows in the next patient to the surgery of Monsieur Morley.
42:11Now, Monsieur Ambariotis had never before met the dentist, Monsieur Morley.
42:25It's been troublingly since the journey from India.
42:28So our murderer, he was able to assume his identity.
42:33This dentist tells to Monsieur Ambariotis that it would be best to freeze the gum.
42:46He then administers an injection which contains a dose of Novocaine and adrenaline, which is
42:53sufficient to kill him six hours later.
42:56But why?
43:01Why would anyone want to kill this man?
43:03Because Monsieur Ambariotis had learned something from Mademoiselle Sainsbury's seal.
43:08He had learned a secret.
43:11And a secret that could make him a very rich man.
43:26I wish to speak to Mr. Alistair Blunt.
43:29And Monsieur Ambariotis, he was a blackmailer.
43:35Are you seriously suggesting Ambariotis was blackmailing me?
43:40How could he blackmail Alistair?
43:43Alistair has no secrets.
43:45With the greatest respect, Madame Olivera, there I must disagree with you.
43:52Monsieur Blunt has a very big secret.
43:54A secret that must be kept at all costs.
43:59And there is only one method that is totally effective in dealing with a blackmailer.
44:03And that is to silence him.
44:07Forever.
44:10No.
44:11Monsieur Ambariotis, he had to go.
44:15And Monsieur Blunt had seen the name of Monsieur Ambariotis in the appointment book belonging to Monsieur Morley.
44:20His blackmailer used the same dentist.
44:25That'll do for today, I think.
44:27One more rinse, please.
44:32And so, Monsieur Blunt, you devise a clever plan.
44:35A very clever plan, indeed.
44:38You wait until your treatment has been completed by Monsieur Morley.
44:44Then, you shoot him.
44:58Then, you shoot him.
44:58While the dental records are being falsified, you drag the body into the office of the secretary.
45:13As I have said, Monsieur Ambariotis had never before met Monsieur Morley, so there was no reason for him to suspect anything.
45:32As I have said, Monsieur Ambariotis had never before met Monsieur Morley, so there was no reason for him to suspect anything.
45:48You administer to him the fatal injection.
45:51And when he has left, you drag the body of Monsieur Morley back into the surgery and arrange it to look like suicide.
46:05I know, Monsieur Poirot, you have a great reputation.
46:27But I'm afraid in this case you are wrong to a lunatic degree.
46:30Send him about his business, Alistair.
46:35Mr. Blunt's family stands foursquare behind him.
46:40I am very pleased to hear it, Madame Oliveira.
46:44But you see, when Monsieur Blunt married your sister, Mademoiselle Rebecca Unholt, he was not entirely honest with her, nor with her family.
46:56Because, as Monsieur Ambariotis learned from the real Mademoiselle Sainsbury's seal, Monsieur Blunt was already married.
47:08Look, there's no need for the rest of you to listen to any more of this.
47:12If you...
47:13No, no, no, no, Monsieur Blunt.
47:14You were dazzled by the Unholt family, by the vista.
47:17Not so much of wealth, but of power.
47:19And so dazzled were you that you deliberately committed a bigamy, and your real wife acquiesced in the situation.
47:25Oh, what? Rots!
47:27What a fine portrait is this, Monsieur Blunt!
47:29Such a portrait would be to any boardroom an ornament, Monsieur Blunt standing beside his beloved wife, the former Mademoiselle Rebecca Unholt.
47:39However, Mesdames and Messieurs, I have here, in my pocket, a certificate of marriage between Martin Alistair Blunt and an actress by the name of Mademoiselle Gerda Alexandra Grant, dated April the 25th, 1925.
48:06And Mademoiselle Gerda Grant, is still very much alive.
48:14Yes.
48:17Indeed, she is in this very room.
48:21And when I lived, I was your other wife, and when you loved, you were my other husband.
48:45Our friend.
48:46Which is Beatrice?
48:48I answer to that, Maybel.
48:51What is your will?
48:53Do not you love, Maybel?
48:55Why? No.
48:56No more than reason.
48:58Don't be so mamby-pamby, Maybel.
49:00Maybel.
49:01You think he's not good enough for me?
49:03Come on, Alistair.
49:04I want to dance.
49:06Dance.
49:07Dance.
49:07Dance.
49:08Dance.
49:08Dance.
49:09Dance.
49:14Gerda got such a kick out of it all, didn't you, old girl?
49:17It was your skills as an actress, Mademoiselle Montressor, that were the key to the deception.
49:39You connived at the bigamy of your husband.
49:44While he set about marrying into the Arnhold family, you assumed the identity of Madame
49:50Sylvia Chapman.
49:51After all these years.
49:54Hello, Maybel.
49:56Come in.
49:57I brought you some flowers.
49:59When the real Mademoiselle Sainsbury's seal met again your husband, you murder your old
50:04friend in cold blood.
50:05Go into the sitting room, straight through there.
50:14But your skills as an actress are put to the test once again, as the second Mademoiselle
50:18Sainsbury's seal.
50:25So kind.
50:26Not at all, madame.
50:27Unfortunately for you, it was Hercule Poirot who retrieved your shoe buckle that day.
50:36But having safely deceived the Chief Inspector Jap and myself, or so you thought, you took
50:46the opportunity to be as close as possible to your husband, you assumed the name of Helen
50:51Montressor, and joined him as his new, efficient secretary.
50:57We'll never make these people understand, will we, my darling?
51:04Such ordinary, unimaginative people.
51:09I wish I could make you understand Monsieur Poirot about my meeting with Rebecca and my
51:13marriage.
51:14Gerda understood, didn't you, old girl?
51:17We could have married again after Rebecca's death, but, do you know, we'd come to rather
51:23enjoy all the secrecy.
51:25She's an actress through and through.
51:27She would have found it very dull being just one character.
51:31Well, I've killed three people, so presumably I ought to hang, but haven't I done something
51:38for England?
51:40I have held it firm.
51:42I have kept it solvent.
51:44I have kept it free from dictators.
51:47I am necessary to the continuing peace and well-being of this nation.
51:51Mr. Blunt, with his usual efficiency, had provided for himself a second line of defense.
52:08If things went wrong, you, Monsieur Carter, you were to be the scapegoat.
52:14You see, by now, Monsieur Blunt knows of Monsieur Morley's opinion regarding you, and so he
52:23arranges for you to be engaged in a most mysterious fashion, as a gardener.
52:29Now, these flowers here, they are beautiful.
52:32And how easy for Helen Montresor to fire a shot vaguely in your direction.
52:35Drop the pistol at your feet, where you are bound to pick it up.
52:41Drop that gun!
52:42Help!
52:44Oh, Monsieur Blunt!
52:45You are caught red-handed.
52:47And, of course, nobody is going to believe your story, your ridiculous story, about being
52:52employed by this secret service.
52:55No.
52:55As far as Monsieur Blunt is concerned, you can end your short life on the gallows.
53:03I don't waste pity on people like him.
53:08Eh bien, Monsieur Blunt, that is where you and I, we do not see alike.
53:13For to me, the lives of those three people are just as important as your own life.
53:18Monsieur Blunt, you talk of the continued peace of this nation, huh?
53:30Oh, yes, that is very good.
53:33But Poirot is not concerned with nations.
53:37Poirot is concerned with private individuals who have the right not to have taken from them
53:43their lives.
53:44Martin Alistair Blunt, and Gerda Alexandra Blunt, I arrest you on charges of murder.
54:02Peace.
54:14Oh, my, my poor dear sister.
54:29I don't know why I'm crying.
54:33Come on, Mother.
54:35I never liked him anyway.
54:39Why don't we go back home?
54:42To New York.
54:44That could have been me, you know.
54:56I think I'm going to keep a close eye on you in future, Frank Carter.
55:00You're not safe out on your own.
55:03Secret service.
55:04Look at it, Poirot.
55:18The trappings of wealth and power.
55:21And yet, underneath it all...
55:22Yes, Chief Inspector?
55:24Well, I mean, it just shows you, doesn't it?
55:26They're no better than we are when it comes down to it.
55:28It's the little chaps that keep things on an even keel.
55:32Chaps like you and me.
55:34Ah.
55:35But there are no little chaps, Chief Inspector.
55:40Particularly not Poirot.
55:42There are no other chaps, Chief Inspector.
55:47So here is the time for a tour.
55:50And I'll see you in the future, if you're in the next video.
55:54If you're next to me, you're next to me.
55:54The door.
55:55And then you've got to be a place.
55:56How many people need you?
55:57You're next to me?
55:58I love you.
55:59I love you.
56:00I love you.
56:02I love you.
56:02I love you.
56:03I love you.
56:03I love you.
56:04I love you.
56:05I love you.
56:06I love you.
56:06I love you.
