00:00:00Music
00:01:00Do hurry, Victoria. It's our big dinner tonight, and I want everything to be just perfect.
00:01:15You worry too much, Mrs. Kendall.
00:01:22They're not tagging level, Evans.
00:01:26Mr. Kendall, sir.
00:01:27No, I don't suppose I'd call myself a people person. I'm rather more interested in birds, actually.
00:01:34Eddorf's not joking.
00:01:36Mr. and Mrs. Dyson.
00:01:38And never mind the chow champs to bring us another round of planter's punch.
00:01:42Coming right up, Mr. Dyson.
00:01:47You're late.
00:01:48And you're ugly.
00:01:49Mr. Raphael.
00:01:55Mr. Esther.
00:01:55Stupid people.
00:01:59You don't have to thank him, girl. It's what he's paid to do.
00:02:03Sir.
00:02:03The eyes of India, the assassin of Persia.
00:02:07Big thing around these parts is zombies.
00:02:10Some people say that zombies are corpses who've come back to life.
00:02:14Other people say no, they're living persons who've been drugged by a bokor, a voodoo witch doctor, to do his bidding.
00:02:22It's a horrible practice, voodoo, an affront to Christianity. It should be stamped out.
00:02:26I think my first husband was one of the living dead. At least in the sack.
00:02:32I once met a fellow who claimed that he'd seen a zombie, you know. Oh, I can't imagine anything more terrifying. Can you?
00:02:40Mind you, the behavior of some people in our so-called civilized society is often no better.
00:02:49Drink, drugs, bed hopping, suicides, wives murdering their husbands, husbands doing away with their wives.
00:02:58Wouldn't you agree?
00:02:59How do you find being man of God?
00:03:01I'm so sorry. Were you talking to me, Mr. Pogrid?
00:03:05Yes, it's this glass eye of mine. It has a mind of its own.
00:03:09Oh, no, no, no. It wasn't that. I was wool-gathering, I'm afraid. Miles away.
00:03:14Well, perhaps it was an unsuitable topic for dinner.
00:03:19But if you'll allow me to show you something, I think you'll find it interesting.
00:03:27Poor Miss Marple.
00:03:28Everything all right, I hope?
00:03:30Oh, it is now.
00:03:34Canon Prescott, I saw the watercolor you've been working on. It's absolutely lovely.
00:03:38Oh, thank you. It's really not, uh...
00:03:40I say, Colonel Hillington, you've caught the sun.
00:03:43It suits you.
00:03:44Mrs. Hillington, I'm positively green with envy. He looks quite the film star.
00:03:49What a smashing dress, Mrs. Dawson. I'm so jealous I could quite tear it off your back.
00:03:54Oh, you're no slouch yourself, Molly.
00:03:56I absolutely adore the color of this shawl.
00:03:59Well, you know, you can get it in a little shop by reception.
00:04:02Something of a hobby of mine. I call it my chamber of horrors.
00:04:08Now, look at this. Innocent-looking...
00:04:11I hope Molly's been looking after you all.
00:04:13I'm afraid not. She's been flirting with all the men except me. I feel left out.
00:04:18Now, let me show you something. It was sent me a few years back by an old army pal.
00:04:25Just a snapshot showing off some whopping great striped marlin he caught out in Kenya.
00:04:30Voodoo's not a subject to be taken lightly. It acts as a slow poison affecting the whole of society.
00:04:36Well, a letter arrives from my chum...
00:04:40I come here every year to try and help educate people. I always stay here.
00:04:44Molly Kendall is a wonder. So kind.
00:04:47Saying that someone in the background was probably a murderer who got away with it, not once, but twice.
00:04:57Now, here we are. See this blurry figure here? I think it must be...
00:05:03Well, I'm damned. I mean...
00:05:08And the picture is seething. He's having a bad day.
00:05:13As I was saying, I'd like to have shown you those tusks, Miss Marple.
00:05:19It's the biggest elephant I've ever shot.
00:05:21Here you go, Major. It's all yours.
00:05:38What about that murderer, Major Palgrave?
00:05:47It was really darling, Miss Marple. I must have made a mistake. I mean, things like that don't happen outside of books.
00:05:54Oh, but they do. Practically every day. If a murderer gets a formula that works, they won't stop. They go on with it.
00:06:02Like Lucretia Borgia. Off. The bride's in the bath.
00:06:06I am so sorry, Major, but we need to find Miss Marple a seat.
00:06:10Oh.
00:06:11Forgive me, but I think you've heard quite enough from our resident hall.
00:06:15Thank you, Major Palgrave.
00:06:17Oh, thank you.
00:06:19Well, this is jolly, isn't it?
00:06:26Not my sort of thing, I'm afraid. All this leaping about and carrying on.
00:06:30You know, the Major's not so bad. He's old and lonely and likes to remember when he was young and happy.
00:06:37Well, he shouldn't drink so much. He has high blood pressure. He does look a rather alarming purple colour.
00:06:43I think it's a race between him and old Mr. Raphael to see who would drop off their purge first.
00:06:48The old vulture is fantastically rich. He made his money in chemicals and fertilisers.
00:06:53The young woman with him is his secretary. Or so he says.
00:06:58The young man?
00:06:59Jackson. Raphael would be helpless as a baby without him.
00:07:04He's a nurse, a valet, and a fully trained masseur to boot.
00:07:08So nice to get everyone sorted out. And what brings you to sound honorary?
00:07:13My husband is a keen bird watcher. I'm less keen.
00:07:17Edward's gone so far as to arrange some sort of lecture for later on in the week.
00:07:20Some fellow from New Order when society's coming over.
00:07:24Tell me about your friends, the American couple.
00:07:27Greg and Lucky Dyson. We met them here a few years ago.
00:07:31He's a photographer. A lot of good, actually.
00:07:33He's got a lot of nature and scenery for the magazines.
00:07:43I think I'll turn in. I'd rather rub it down the old fire water, I fear.
00:08:01Yes, I'm not feeling 100% of myself.
00:08:03Oh.
00:08:05I'm a good lady, sir.
00:08:07All right.
00:08:08Excuse me.
00:08:09I say Major Porgrave.
00:08:12I don't want to appear ungrateful.
00:08:21My nephew, Raymond, has gone to such expense.
00:08:23And Dr. Haydock is convinced that Clydeburg will be good for my rheumatism.
00:08:27It is beautiful.
00:08:29It's tribal monotonous.
00:08:31There are so many palm trees, but it's not like home, where there's always something happening.
00:08:38This is me.
00:08:40I shall bid you goodnight, Miss Lott.
00:08:43Goodnight.
00:08:44I do hope you're feeling more yourself tomorrow.
00:08:46Yes, well, Errol must have mixed the drinks particularly strong tonight.
00:08:52Not as young as I was.
00:08:55Who's there?
00:09:23Who's there?
00:09:25And I was...
00:09:29oh my gosh.
00:09:29What'd you do?
00:09:32Oh my gosh.
00:09:36come on.
00:09:41Come on.
00:09:42John.
00:09:48That's an accident
00:09:53Oh, my God.
00:10:23The current has washed it wrong from the point.
00:10:35Better get rid of it before any of the guests come down.
00:10:53It's not all fun and games, is it?
00:10:58Well, you can't have anything for nothing, can you?
00:11:00You certainly can't.
00:11:02Do you think it's going to be all right?
00:11:04We're making a go of it, aren't we?
00:11:06You mustn't worry so.
00:11:07You don't think people are saying
00:11:08it's not the same as when your folks are running the place?
00:11:11Don't be silly.
00:11:13We're a great team, you and I.
00:11:15As long as you think so.
00:11:17I worry too much, thinking
00:11:18what if something should go wrong?
00:11:21What could go wrong?
00:11:22I don't know.
00:11:23I'm a fool.
00:11:25You haven't had any more of those dreams, have you?
00:11:28No, I think that was a shellfish.
00:11:33Everything all right, Johnny?
00:11:34Good morning, Miss.
00:11:42Another perfect day in paradise.
00:11:44Oh, indeed.
00:11:47My dear, anything wrong?
00:11:51Well, you'll have to know.
00:11:53Everyone will have to know.
00:11:55Poor Major Palgrave died in the night.
00:11:58Oh, dear.
00:11:59Oh, I am sorry.
00:12:00Because he was quite old.
00:12:02And he had high blood pressure.
00:12:05I suppose he has been examined by a doctor.
00:12:08Mr. Raphael's nurse found him.
00:12:11Apparently, he'd arranged for a massage this morning.
00:12:14And the local people have just been
00:12:15to give him a death certificate.
00:12:17It all seems quite straightforward,
00:12:18but it's terribly worrying for me and Tim.
00:12:21There's no need to fret.
00:12:23An elderly man like Major Palgrave
00:12:25without fondness for alcohol.
00:12:27If only it hadn't been so sudden.
00:12:29Yes, it was sudden, wasn't it?
00:12:31One minute he was laughing and joking
00:12:33and telling stories and the next.
00:12:38My dear, are you quite all right?
00:12:42Yes, I thought...
00:12:43It's nothing.
00:12:45I thought I saw something.
00:12:47Do you ever get the feeling someone is all...
00:12:49I must have...
00:12:51I just imagined it.
00:12:52Yes, these things happen.
00:13:01It's bad luck for the old boy,
00:13:02but people can't live forever, Ken.
00:13:07No, they can't.
00:13:08What do you mean by barging in here?
00:13:22Can't you knock?
00:13:22I'm sorry, sir.
00:13:23I did knock.
00:13:24I thought she might...
00:13:26Are you all right?
00:13:28Errol's drinks can have a powerful kick.
00:13:31Oh, no, no.
00:13:31I'm not, um...
00:13:32I have an upset stomach, that's all.
00:13:34Oh, poor you.
00:13:38Sorry to shout like that.
00:13:39I'm all out of kilter.
00:13:42I think I must have had a bad prawn last night.
00:13:45There is he.
00:14:00There he is.
00:14:02Oh, yeah, look.
00:14:04There he is.
00:14:05Feel very careful.
00:14:06You'll spot him.
00:14:07He's a light, dun color.
00:14:09Extremely well caliparaged.
00:14:11Look.
00:14:11Yeah!
00:14:11It got me.
00:14:15Oh, lucky.
00:14:15You really must try to be a little quieter.
00:14:18Hey, Greg.
00:14:19Oh?
00:14:19Take my picture.
00:14:21You never photographed me anymore.
00:14:23I only try to take pictures of, uh, beautiful things these days.
00:14:29Oh, aren't we comical?
00:14:32Yeah.
00:14:35He's over there in a swizzle stick tree.
00:14:37Ed, your wife is right.
00:14:39This is all too boring.
00:14:40There goes my lucky charm.
00:14:43You still love her, Greg.
00:14:46Ed, you may know all there is to know about birds, but you don't know the first thing about women, and you don't know the first thing about lucky.
00:14:53This is not as good as fun as your party, eh?
00:15:05One can't get it here.
00:15:07It's a pity.
00:15:07Are you going in for a dip now?
00:15:13I'll go in when I'm ready.
00:15:15It's gone half past eleven.
00:15:17Jackson says...
00:15:18Bugger what that fool says.
00:15:21Caribbean isn't what it used to be.
00:15:23You can't move a step without some old booby getting under your feet.
00:15:29Well, isn't this splendid?
00:15:35Splendid.
00:15:36I suppose you've heard the sad news.
00:15:39My man Jackson told me all about it.
00:15:41The poor Major.
00:15:43Ghastly old boy.
00:15:45He needn't have died if he'd looked after himself properly.
00:15:48Come now, Mr Raphael.
00:15:49Oh, look at me.
00:15:50The doctors gave me up years ago.
00:15:53If it wasn't for Jackson, they might have been right.
00:15:55Besides, Major Porgrave had high blood pressure.
00:15:58Who says so?
00:15:59He was very red in the face.
00:16:01So what?
00:16:02I said to him once, you've got to watch your blood pressure.
00:16:06He said he had nothing to look out for in that line.
00:16:08His blood pressure was very good for his age.
00:16:12Men never like to admit there's anything wrong with them.
00:16:15Poppycock.
00:16:16Talking of ailments, I don't suppose...
00:16:21I know it's a little presumptuous of me,
00:16:23but do you think your man Jackson might be able to look at my knee?
00:16:27Your knee?
00:16:28I thought perhaps the warmer weather might...
00:16:31All right, spare us the grisly details.
00:16:34What time is it?
00:16:35Twenty to twelve?
00:16:38I ought to have had my dip long ago.
00:16:41Why can't you remind me of these things, girl?
00:16:46Old men are so ugly, aren't they?
00:16:53Sometimes you think they should all be put to death, or forty.
00:16:57Perhaps thirty-five would be better.
00:16:59Oh, hey, Marley!
00:17:10Are you going to come for a swim after lunch?
00:17:13You look a vision in a swimsuit.
00:17:15I love you, and I'm rather busy...
00:17:17Don't all bird watchers go around the place armed at the teeth?
00:17:24Two left feet.
00:17:27He told me it's only loaded with blanks.
00:17:29Some of these parts are pretty hairy.
00:17:31The gun's just a warning, nothing.
00:17:33Whoa!
00:17:34Woo!
00:17:34I can give you some pills for the pain.
00:17:37Dental exercise will help.
00:17:38Otherwise, um...
00:17:40Just old age.
00:17:42I have offered to help with the funeral arrangements for the major.
00:17:45Bad business.
00:17:45It seems so sad to die alone like that, and so far from home.
00:17:50He didn't care for English winters.
00:17:51Can't say I blame him.
00:17:52Did he, like me, have health reasons that made it necessary for him to winter abroad?
00:17:58Not that I know of, but I never examined him.
00:18:01I know while he was alive, at least.
00:18:02But it was his blood pressure that killed him.
00:18:05I found a bottle of blood pressure pills in his room.
00:18:07Serenite.
00:18:09How wonderful science is nowadays.
00:18:12Doctors can do so much, can't they?
00:18:13All with a little pill.
00:18:15They can't bring the dead back to life.
00:18:16Cheers.
00:18:18Oh, Cannon, I wonder if it's not too much bother.
00:18:22I was showing a snapshot of my nephew, Raymond, to the major last night,
00:18:27and, um, I think he might have got muddled up with some of his own photographs.
00:18:31You couldn't ask if it's among his things, could you?
00:18:34You can't miss it.
00:18:36Raymond is holding up a very big fish.
00:18:39A marlin, I believe it's called.
00:18:52A marlin, I believe it's called.
00:18:54A marlin, I believe it's called.
00:18:55Hello?
00:19:01Cannon Prescott?
00:19:01Ah!
00:19:31You're back, Ben.
00:20:01Victoria, you know, you know that little thing that I asked her about.
00:20:31That will make it worth your while.
00:20:39Just give me the address.
00:20:40I'll get it myself.
00:20:41Okay.
00:20:44Please don't tell anyone.
00:20:52Lovely evening.
00:20:54Oh, hello.
00:20:55I got a little lost looking for my bungalow.
00:20:59Well, you look busy.
00:21:00I need to clear the Major's room ready for the next guest.
00:21:04Better not tell them what happened, eh?
00:21:05No, I suppose not.
00:21:07I always think it's very sad having to look through the personal possessions of someone who's just died.
00:21:14It's the little things that I find so poignant.
00:21:17Things they'll never need again, like their razor, their toothbrush.
00:21:21Or, in the Major's case, his bottle of blood pressure pills.
00:21:27Things you must have seen a hundred times when you were cleaning his room.
00:21:31Must have.
00:21:33Oh, well.
00:21:33Um, I'm sorry.
00:21:35Do you have disturbed you?
00:21:36No bother.
00:21:36Wake up, man.
00:22:02What do you want?
00:22:03It's not morning.
00:22:04Wake up, man.
00:22:04I need to talk to you.
00:22:05What's worrying you, girl?
00:22:07Do you want coughing again?
00:22:09It's a bad error.
00:22:10It's getting worse.
00:22:12Get some more medicine off, Mama's only.
00:22:14It's not enough.
00:22:15We need to take her to a proper doctor.
00:22:16So we can't afford no doctor.
00:22:17We need to do something.
00:22:18It's the middle of the night.
00:22:20We can't do nothing now.
00:22:22I'll talk about it in the morning.
00:22:23I'll go to sleep.
00:22:24I can't sleep.
00:22:26My mind is going round and round and round like a fish in a boat.
00:22:29The little one will be all right.
00:22:31It's not just that.
00:22:33I've been thinking about the Major man who died.
00:22:35Something I don't like.
00:22:39Something wrong about it.
00:22:40Don't worry about that.
00:22:42He was old.
00:22:42He died.
00:22:43He's a man.
00:22:44It's them pills.
00:22:46Them pills in his room.
00:22:47There's something wrong there.
00:22:48Leave it.
00:22:50Don't go looking for trouble.
00:22:51It's their business.
00:22:52It's got nothing to do with us.
00:22:53The man that is born of a woman hath but a short time to live and is full of misery.
00:23:19He cometh up and is cut down like a flower.
00:23:24He flyeth as it were a shadow and never continueth in one's day.
00:23:29In the midst of life we are in death.
00:23:32I do think there might have been a better turnout for the old chap.
00:23:36Well at least he's buried somewhere that he loved.
00:23:39Yeah.
00:23:40In a week or so no one will even remember him.
00:23:44Spare him a passing thought.
00:23:46Except you perhaps.
00:23:48Yes.
00:23:49Yes I suppose it is all down to me now.
00:23:52All right Victoria.
00:23:53All right.
00:23:54I understand.
00:23:55We don't want to make a fuss and I certainly don't want Tim worried about this.
00:23:59About what?
00:23:59Here you are sir.
00:24:13I'm sorry to say we could find no trace of your marlin photograph among the major's things.
00:24:18Plenty of pictures of slaughtered animals but no fish I'm afraid.
00:24:21Large or small.
00:24:22Never mind.
00:24:23I'm sure I can get another print.
00:24:24Well here's to the old fella.
00:24:27He was something of a fixture at Golden Palms.
00:24:29Won't be the same next year.
00:24:30In a funny way I think I'll miss all his stories.
00:24:33Do you recall what he was talking about at dinner the night he died?
00:24:37A lot of silly stuff about voodoo.
00:24:38I mean after that.
00:24:40I must confess I wasn't really listening.
00:24:43I suppose he must have told you his stories many times.
00:24:46He had a store of them and a photograph to illustrate each one.
00:24:49Whether it be some poor dead tiger or...
00:24:52You know.
00:24:53Dua?
00:24:55He loved scandal.
00:24:58Gossip.
00:24:58Anything to do with...
00:25:00You know how shall I put it.
00:25:03S.E.X.
00:25:04Oh come now Canon.
00:25:05I'm not a nun.
00:25:07Sex may not have been mentioned in my day but there was plenty of it about.
00:25:11And a joy far more than nowadays where it seems to have become a kind of duty.
00:25:16Not my territory I'm afraid.
00:25:18Sadly my church training taught me a great deal about the soul but very little about the heart.
00:25:22Other than this it's all a terrible sin of course.
00:25:26But talking of sin.
00:25:27Did the Major ever talk to you about a murderer?
00:25:31I do remember something.
00:25:32About a woman.
00:25:34A golden haired Lucrezia Borgia who poisoned her husband and her lover.
00:25:38Something like that.
00:25:39But as I say I never really listened to him that attentively and you couldn't see anything in the photograph.
00:25:43A woman?
00:25:44Are you quite sure?
00:25:45I may not know a great deal about men and women Miss Marple but I can still tell the difference.
00:25:49It all sounds rather idiotic I know but as far as I can make out Victoria has got it into her head that someone put poison tablets in the Major's...
00:26:02What's the name of that stuff?
00:26:04Sarah something bottle.
00:26:05I think what she said was that there was a bottle in there labelled serenite.
00:26:08It's quite commonly used.
00:26:09But Victoria said she'd never seen the bottle in his room before.
00:26:13How do you mean?
00:26:14It's only turned up after his death.
00:26:15If they weren't his pills could they have poisoned him?
00:26:18No.
00:26:19They wouldn't do anything.
00:26:20But I mean if they weren't his pills he wouldn't have taken them in the first place would he?
00:26:25Of course not.
00:26:26How stupid.
00:26:27Victoria had us all thinking he'd been poisoned.
00:26:32Did Major ever show you a photograph of a murderer?
00:26:36A murderer?
00:26:37I don't recall him ever telling a story about a murderer.
00:26:40Plenty of tittle-tattle and gossip.
00:26:42You mean people staying at the hotel?
00:26:43Well you must have heard the rumours.
00:26:45I'm afraid if I have I must have forgotten them.
00:26:48Molly Kendall?
00:26:50Of course you know her mother hung herself in one of the bungalows.
00:26:53How ghastly.
00:26:54She was evidently a bit unstable.
00:26:56Runs in the family.
00:26:58I gather an uncle of hers took off all his clothes in one of the tube stations.
00:27:02Green Park I think it was.
00:27:04After her mother died her father sent her away to England he couldn't cope.
00:27:08Molly had some silly dream of becoming an actress
00:27:11only she went and started some squalid affair with a married man all very messy.
00:27:14He dashed over there to straighten her out.
00:27:17But by the time he got there poor sweet dull Tim had already ridden to Molly's rescue and the other fellow had done a bunk.
00:27:23I think he was so grateful that Molly had found someone more suitable he virtually drove them to the church there and then.
00:27:30What a terrible word that is.
00:27:33Suitable.
00:27:33You know how these conditions can sometimes make a woman, you know, go for the men rather.
00:27:39You've seen how Molly is.
00:27:41Always flirting.
00:27:42And the way she carries on with that waiter Errol.
00:27:45They grew up together.
00:27:47They were very close.
00:27:49Too close.
00:27:50If you take my meaning.
00:27:52Molly?
00:27:53Good Lord, no.
00:27:53There could never be any scandal or gossip about Molly.
00:27:55She's not that type.
00:27:57I think whoever told you that must have muddled her up with Lucky Dyson.
00:28:00What makes you say that?
00:28:01There are two types of blonde, Miss Marple.
00:28:03The sweet, innocent type and the fake, the bottle blonde.
00:28:05And if anyone's going to be involved in a scandal, it's the latter.
00:28:07There are two types of blonde, Miss Marple.
00:28:37Careful.
00:28:43We don't want you going over.
00:28:48Ed, please.
00:28:50Not now, darling.
00:28:51Well, when then?
00:28:52It seems it's not ever.
00:28:53I'm at breaking point.
00:28:55Don't be so overdramatic.
00:28:58Overdramatic?
00:28:59After what I've done for you?
00:29:03You're lucky.
00:29:04Edward, wait.
00:29:05Stop it.
00:29:05Ed!
00:29:07Hi there.
00:29:09You found my favorite spot.
00:29:14It's lovely here, isn't it?
00:29:16I woke up there every afternoon.
00:29:18It's really the nicest time.
00:29:20Is everything quite all right?
00:29:36Yes.
00:29:37Yes.
00:29:39No, I...
00:29:40I don't know.
00:29:43What's the matter with me?
00:29:44I feel like I'm losing control.
00:29:47I'm just so terribly frightened.
00:29:50What are you frightened of, dear?
00:29:51Everything.
00:29:53Voices in the bushes.
00:29:56Footsteps.
00:29:59I see a dark figure in my dreams.
00:30:02Somebody hates me.
00:30:03That's what I keep feeling.
00:30:04Somebody hates me.
00:30:05Oh, darling.
00:30:06How long has this been going on for?
00:30:09I don't know.
00:30:10I can't remember.
00:30:10I can't remember anything.
00:30:12You mean you're having blackouts, that sort of thing?
00:30:14I suppose so.
00:30:16I mean, sometimes, oh, say it's five o'clock, and I can't remember anything since about
00:30:23past one or two.
00:30:25Oh, dear.
00:30:27Oh, darling.
00:30:30Darling, you have to go and see a doctor.
00:30:33They can give you pills.
00:30:34I don't want to see a doctor.
00:30:36I won't.
00:30:37I won't go near one.
00:30:45Good gracious, it's getting frightfully late.
00:30:48I ought to be getting back.
00:30:50I can't leave Tim alone to cope by himself.
00:30:53Hello.
00:31:06Hello.
00:31:08Such a lovely day.
00:31:10Why not?
00:31:11That's what we're here for, isn't it?
00:31:14So severe.
00:31:15Mayor, of course, the weather is a very English topic for conversation.
00:31:20Perhaps you'd rather talk business.
00:31:22I'm afraid I don't know a great deal about the chemicals industry.
00:31:25Jackson, Esther, where are those two when I need them?
00:31:30It seems so quiet without the major here.
00:31:33A chattering old booby talk too much.
00:31:36The trouble with gossip, though, is one can never quite pin down where the stories originated.
00:31:41Hmm.
00:31:42Jackson?
00:31:43For instance, I wonder who started the rumour that the major had high blood pressure.
00:31:49Those pills they found in his room weren't his, you know.
00:31:57Of course they weren't.
00:31:59Somebody's been clever.
00:32:00What do you mean by that?
00:32:02Well, you said so yourself.
00:32:04The major talked too much.
00:32:07What if he said something he shouldn't have?
00:32:10I hope you're not suggesting that someone did the major in because he knew about something.
00:32:15Did he ever show you a photograph of a murderer?
00:32:19He had hundreds of the damn things collected them.
00:32:22Yes, I know.
00:32:22That's the problem.
00:32:23The one I'm interested in was of someone who had killed more than once.
00:32:30I vaguely recall some complicated story about a chap that lost two wives in the same suspicious manner.
00:32:40Suicide, a pair of them.
00:32:42And did you see the photograph?
00:32:43As I say, he had hundreds men who killed their wives, wives who killed their husbands, mistresses who poisoned their parrots.
00:32:53The other evening, he was about to show me a snapshot of a murderer when he saw someone across the table and flew into a panic.
00:33:03The next thing, he was dead and there was no sign of that photograph anywhere among his possessions.
00:33:08Not quite the gentle, fluffy old lady you look, are you?
00:33:15I don't know whether to take that as a compliment.
00:33:17You can take it any way you like.
00:33:20So you think Paulgrave was murdered to shut him up?
00:33:24If our murderer had killed before and quite got away with it, there would be no need to go to these lengths to silence old Major Paulgrave.
00:33:33Unless whoever it is was planning to do it again.
00:33:38Precisely.
00:33:39If we don't act swiftly, I fear another murder will be committed right under our noses.
00:33:56And you never saw the photograph of the murderer, Mrs. Marlowe?
00:33:59No.
00:33:59So you don't know if it was a man or a woman?
00:34:01I'm afraid not, no.
00:34:02And who certified the death certificate?
00:34:05Dr. Graham, I suppose.
00:34:06He didn't have any doubts, did he?
00:34:08He may have been influenced by the bottle of serenite tablets in the room.
00:34:12So you want me to believe that this person in this mysterious missing photograph planted the pills to make it look like a heart attack?
00:34:18They thought they could get away with murdering Paulgrave just because he was old and nobody would care.
00:34:24Well, Miss Marlowe does care.
00:34:27I appreciate that.
00:34:29But if he didn't die of blood pressure, what did he die of then?
00:34:32It is possible that somebody put something in his drink.
00:34:36Something that would not leave any recognizable traces.
00:34:39Not everyone is so considerate as to use arsenic.
00:34:42With all due respect, it is a rather fanciful story.
00:34:44If you were to exhume the body and give it a proper post-mortem examination...
00:34:49Thank you very much for your suggestion, Mrs. Marlowe.
00:34:51It's Miss Marlowe, damn it.
00:34:54But we are a very busy police force with more pressing matters to deal with.
00:34:59I suggest that the two of you go back to your lovely hotel and enjoy the rest of your holiday.
00:35:03You are not listening to us.
00:35:05The professional thing to do...
00:35:06The Saint Honoré police force has been doing perfectly fine without your help.
00:35:10Thank you very much, Mr. Raffaea.
00:35:12Times have changed.
00:35:13You British are no longer in charge.
00:35:18Can I just come in here and tell me what the professional thing to do is?
00:35:23As I was saying, I'm busy.
00:35:27Oh, look here!
00:35:27No, no, no, let's leave the people.
00:35:29We have a real heart attack on our hands.
00:35:32I shall alert Jackson.
00:35:34I will not be spoken to like that by a bloody police man!
00:35:39Who does hate me?
00:35:41We'll get to the bottom of this, Miss Marlowe.
00:35:43And shove the evidence right up his...
00:35:46Oh, do be careful, Jackson!
00:35:53You going back to the hotel, Miss Em?
00:35:54No, thanks, Jackson.
00:35:55I have some things I want to do in Jamestown.
00:35:57Okay, suit yourself.
00:35:58One time, Charlie, took my baby.
00:36:19One time, Charlie, driving me crazy.
00:36:25Round the corner and down the street, whispering sweet nothings.
00:36:32Promised her a wedding ring.
00:36:35In the town, everything.
00:36:38From the town, he was running things.
00:36:41The first time he tried it, he was sick.
00:36:42And the second time, his hat blew off.
00:36:48Oh, right, I best be looking busy, Tim.
00:36:51Mr. Raphael will be wanting to take his dip.
00:36:53Don't know how you stick it, Johnny.
00:36:54Ah, he ain't so bad.
00:36:56Likes to play up the crotchety old man routine.
00:36:59I'm used to him.
00:37:00Besides, he pays very well indeed, tell your mother.
00:37:04I was lucky enough to marry him to it.
00:37:07Look is the word, Tim.
00:37:08There's a lovely girl you're, Molly.
00:37:11Don't I know it.
00:37:12Well, speaking of lucky.
00:37:15Yeah.
00:37:16All in all, the scenery around here is very agreeable.
00:37:20That's my taxi.
00:37:21Ah, my purse.
00:37:23I just keep losing the damn things.
00:37:30Cheers.
00:37:30I promised her he loved her true.
00:37:34All the others, they were through.
00:37:37But the others, they never knew.
00:37:40One time Charlie knew.
00:37:42One time Charlie, one time Charlie, took my baby.
00:38:11Where did you find this?
00:38:13It is very, very special.
00:38:16It is powerful, Grigri.
00:38:19I tell you, in the wrong hands, it can make big trouble.
00:38:34We make them for tourists.
00:38:37They stick pins in them.
00:38:38Did you find that at the hotel?
00:38:43Yes.
00:38:44How did you know?
00:38:45I saw you there.
00:38:47Have any of the other guests from Golden Ponds been to visit you?
00:38:50Maybe they have.
00:38:52Maybe they haven't.
00:38:53That is between me and them.
00:38:54I will tell you one story, Miss Marple, because it is about a dead man, Mr. Parkety-Witt III.
00:39:02He used to come see me when he visited the island.
00:39:05He wanted me to help him, let's say, keep up with his young wife.
00:39:08But then he stopped coming, because he was dead, and she had married someone else.
00:39:16Her name was Lucky.
00:39:18And her new husband was Grigri Dyson.
00:39:24But are you telling me your medicine may have hastened his end?
00:39:30Not my medicine.
00:39:32Someone else's, I think.
00:39:33I only use my medicine for good.
00:39:37I only use my medicine for good.
00:40:07but are you telling me how is it going to stop seeing him?
00:40:37Have you seen my pills, darling?
00:40:48Just look for them, Greg. Why don't you?
00:40:51Thank you, darling.
00:40:53I don't know how I'd get by without you.
00:40:55You'd like that, wouldn't you?
00:40:56Like what?
00:40:58Life without your lucky charm.
00:41:00And you could sniff around every stray girl in Christendom.
00:41:04I just want the old lucky back.
00:41:06The one that I fell in love with, I miss her.
00:41:10I'm lonely without her.
00:41:12She's not coming back.
00:41:14Somewhere along the way, that young, carefree, happy thing got hit by a truck.
00:41:19Well, if you hate me so much, why didn't you just leave?
00:41:21Why don't you?
00:41:22Lucky, I...
00:41:23I'll tell you why.
00:41:25Because of what we did.
00:41:27Our secret.
00:41:28We can never trust each other not to run off at the mouth.
00:41:32I didn't do anything, darling.
00:41:36You did.
00:41:40You married me.
00:41:41Yeah.
00:41:43Do you really think that anyone would believe that you had no part in it?
00:41:49No, baby.
00:41:50This is it.
00:41:53And every time I look at you, I am reminded of what I did for love.
00:42:01Is there no way out?
00:42:03Now, not that I can think of.
00:42:19Oh, what's the bloody point?
00:42:23We must keep up appearances, darling.
00:42:25That's all I've ever done, keep up appearances.
00:42:27I want to go home, Evelyn.
00:42:30Or leave lucky.
00:42:36I've known all along.
00:42:38Unlike you, I'm not a fool.
00:42:41Women tend not to be, despite what men like to believe.
00:42:44Greg, I imagine, is blissfully unaware of the whole situation.
00:42:54For my past, I'm prepared to carry on turning a blind eye.
00:42:59So why go back to England now?
00:43:02We don't want to fuel any more gossip, do we?
00:43:06I can't stick it any longer.
00:43:07You fell wildly in love with Lucky and now it's over.
00:43:10At least as far as she's concerned.
00:43:12No, no, there's more to it than that.
00:43:15It's something she made me do.
00:43:19If I don't get away from her, I swear I shall kill her.
00:43:23Quiet!
00:43:27I'm sorry.
00:43:29I'm so sorry.
00:43:32If I don't tell someone, I think I'll go mad.
00:43:35No, it was so bloody childish.
00:43:36I know exactly what you've done.
00:43:37You are transparent.
00:43:38But you will bury your dirty little secret deep in your heart and forget about it.
00:43:44I will not have you ruin your life.
00:43:47Why?
00:43:47What do you care?
00:43:48You don't love me.
00:43:49You never have.
00:43:50You've never loved anyone.
00:43:51You couldn't be more wrong if you try.
00:44:07All I want is for them to be happy.
00:44:12Something I've never managed to achieve for myself.
00:44:14There will be no upset in their lives.
00:44:19No newspaper headlines, no unexplained tears at the breakfast table.
00:44:24They will be happy.
00:44:27It will always be summer for them and I will do whatever it takes to make it so.
00:44:34Not like you, Evan.
00:44:35I'm not strong.
00:44:36And let me be strong for you.
00:44:39Ah, Mr. Fleming.
00:45:03Welcome to Golden Palms.
00:45:05May I introduce you to two of our guests, Mr. Esther Walters and Mr. Jane Marple.
00:45:10Charmed, I'm sure.
00:45:11How do you do?
00:45:12This is Mr. Ian Fleming.
00:45:13He has a villa over in Jamaica.
00:45:15Mr. Fleming is a writer.
00:45:18Well, hello, Molly.
00:45:22I'm so sorry.
00:45:24That startled you little girl.
00:45:26I didn't hear you coming, Mr. Dyson, sir.
00:45:29It made me jump.
00:45:31Mr. Dyson?
00:45:32I'm not very formal tonight.
00:45:35Tim and I think it's more polite not to be too handy with Christian names.
00:45:40You're not even for old time's sake.
00:45:44Greg.
00:45:46Whoa!
00:45:57What you got there?
00:45:59What you hiding from me?
00:46:00Why are you so angry, man?
00:46:01What's getting to you?
00:46:04Where you get that?
00:46:06Huh?
00:46:07Where you get all this money?
00:46:08It's none of your business.
00:46:09You just give it...
00:46:10Where you get it from?
00:46:11A man gave it to me.
00:46:13Maybe he likes me.
00:46:14You seeing another man?
00:46:14What?
00:46:15And you never look at another woman?
00:46:17You my woman.
00:46:18You sure?
00:46:19You sure you don't prefer blondes?
00:46:21You sure you don't prefer your money?
00:46:22You sure you don't prefer your money?
00:46:26Yes.
00:46:27You sure you're looking for your money?
00:46:28Yes.
00:46:28So what do you write about, Mr. Fleming?
00:46:30Oh, thank you very much.
00:46:32I'm working on a little spy story.
00:46:36Just a bit of fun.
00:46:37The trouble is, I'm stuck.
00:46:39I can't think of a suitable name for my hero.
00:46:43I usually find inspiration strikes in the most unusual places, Mr. Fleming.
00:46:49Let's hope it does.
00:46:51The police aren't going to be any use.
00:46:54So it looks like it stands for the two of us.
00:46:58Yes, I think you're right.
00:46:59So what do we have?
00:47:02The Major recognises the killer in the photograph right in front of him, across the table.
00:47:10Who was sitting there?
00:47:11Do you remember?
00:47:11Lucky and Greg Dyson, Evelyn was Edward Hillington, and behind them Molly, Errol, and your man Jackson.
00:47:21Ah, Jackson.
00:47:24How long has he been with you?
00:47:26Five years.
00:47:27Before that, he was out in Kenya with the army.
00:47:30Medical call.
00:47:32He left under something with cloud.
00:47:34There are very big marlin to be caught out in Kenya, I hear.
00:47:38Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, I'd like to thank Colonel Hillington, who I'm sure is here somewhere, for arranging what promises to be a most unusual and interesting evening.
00:47:52So, without further ado, allow me to introduce tonight's speaker, author of Birds of the West Indies, Mr. James Bond.
00:48:01Uh, thank you.
00:48:07Um, my name is Bond.
00:48:09Uh, James Bond.
00:48:11And tonight, I'd like to tell you just a little bit about some of the fascinating birds to be found here in the islands from the West Indies.
00:48:21So, one of those seven people has killed before, and they intend to do so again?
00:48:28Whoever it is believes they have a successful formula.
00:48:32So, where do we start?
00:48:34Find the intended victim, and we find our murderer.
00:48:39That's an easy one.
00:48:41Yes?
00:48:42Proper type, Cassie.
00:48:44Sick man with too much money.
00:48:47Forest and even guano cliffs.
00:48:51Guano?
00:48:52Bird droppings. Pardon my French.
00:48:54They're very valuable as fertilizer.
00:48:58Now, some men might be drawn to the guano.
00:49:03I, myself, prefer the...
00:49:05Who would want to see you dead?
00:49:08There are several men in London who wouldn't burst into tears if they read my obituary in the Times.
00:49:14How about Esther Jackson?
00:49:17Would either of them profit by your death?
00:49:19I paid Jackson enough so that I'm more valuable to him alive than dead.
00:49:26Esther's not to know it, but when I keel over, she'll come into a tidy sum.
00:49:32Sorry.
00:49:33Parents, talk.
00:49:35Quack!
00:49:36Quack!
00:49:37I do hope tonight goes well.
00:49:39For Tim's sake.
00:49:42Ever since that bloody old Paulgrave died, he's been frantic with worry.
00:49:45And Molly's not much help.
00:49:47She's been good with...
00:49:49Molly!
00:49:52Molly!
00:49:56I don't know it.
00:49:58I don't know what happened.
00:49:59I don't know anything.
00:50:03What's the matter with me?
00:50:05You must try to remember.
00:50:07She can't take much more.
00:50:15What did you see?
00:50:17I don't remember if I was going to meet someone.
00:50:25And then I noticed something whined.
00:50:28I stopped and I pulled.
00:50:34And I tried to raise her up, but I got blood on my head.
00:50:42Oh, her face.
00:50:45Her face.
00:50:46I don't know.
00:50:47I don't know.
00:50:47I don't know.
00:50:47I don't know.
00:50:47Victoria!
00:50:48Victoria!
00:50:56The police will want to talk to you.
00:50:57Not until we know exactly what's going on.
00:50:59You don't believe her, do you?
00:51:00Ah!
00:51:01who's that?
00:51:04Victoria!
00:51:05Oh, no!
00:51:19Who's that?
00:51:21Victoria?
00:51:27Come on. Come on, sweetie.
00:51:35Have we found anything? Hopeless.
00:51:38We should knock it off and organise a proper search party in the morning.
00:51:41No. We keep looking.
00:51:43Can someone just tell me what's going on?
00:51:46What are we supposed to be looking for?
00:51:48It's Victoria, the maid.
00:51:50Molly thinks she's dead.
00:51:52There must be some mistake. We only just saw her now.
00:51:55You couldn't have.
00:51:56We did. Back along the path.
00:51:58Are you sure?
00:51:59Can't be sure of anything in the dark.
00:52:05You'd think it'd be pretty easy to find a body.
00:52:06I need a drink.
00:52:07Come on.
00:52:08Come on.
00:52:09Come on.
00:52:10Come on.
00:52:11Come on.
00:52:12Come on.
00:52:13Come on.
00:52:14You'd think it'd be pretty easy to find a body.
00:52:30I need a drink.
00:52:32Come on.
00:52:33Come on.
00:52:34Come on.
00:52:35Come on.
00:52:36Come on.
00:52:37Come on.
00:52:38Come on.
00:52:39What's the matter?
00:52:40In there.
00:52:41I saw her.
00:52:42Saw her?
00:52:43Saw who?
00:52:44In the mirror.
00:52:45I saw her.
00:52:46I saw Victoria.
00:52:47It's all right.
00:52:48I'll go in and look.
00:52:49Just try to calm down.
00:52:51There's no one there.
00:52:52Nothing.
00:52:53There's no one there.
00:52:54Nothing.
00:52:58There's no one there.
00:53:17Nothing.
00:53:28Have you taken any of these, do you know?
00:53:38I don't know.
00:53:40I don't think so.
00:53:41Something's good.
00:53:43She's in shock.
00:53:44I'd like to give her a shot to calm her down, help her sleep.
00:53:47But if she'd already taken several of these...
00:53:49Several?
00:53:50You don't mean...
00:53:52You think she'd do something stupid?
00:53:55Don't leave her on her own.
00:53:57Watch over.
00:53:57But if she gets hysterical again, I'll give her something to knock her out for a few hours.
00:54:01And she should be fine.
00:54:03Well, take more than a shot of happy juice.
00:54:06What?
00:54:08She needs to see a psychiatrist, Tim.
00:54:10She should be in a hospital.
00:54:12No.
00:54:13I don't want people like that monkeying around with her.
00:54:15They only make people worse.
00:54:16Oh, come on.
00:54:17Are you the only guy that can't see it?
00:54:19There is no dead body.
00:54:21She's...
00:54:21She's crazy.
00:54:22Oh, shut up.
00:54:23You don't know anything about it.
00:54:25Don't I?
00:54:25I used to come here with my first wife back when Molly's folks were still running the place long before you came on the scene.
00:54:33And she was always pretty, shall we say, emotional.
00:54:38She got away with it because she was a looker.
00:54:41Let's face it, she'd have to be nuts to go for a guy like you.
00:54:44How dare you speak about Molly like that?
00:54:46How dare you?
00:54:47I know what you are.
00:54:48I know what you want.
00:54:49You think you can have every woman you like, don't you?
00:54:51But if you do anything to harm Molly, I will kill you.
00:54:54I swear to God, I will kill you!
00:54:56I swear to God, I will kill you.
00:55:26I wonder if you want it relieving, Tim.
00:55:36There must be 101 things you may need to attend to.
00:55:53Oh, thank you.
00:55:55Yes, yes, you're a saviour.
00:55:57She hasn't woken all night.
00:55:59She's not mad, you know.
00:56:01There's just something in her past that haunts her.
00:56:04I gather you rescued her from someone unsuitable.
00:56:08Yes, yes, before I met her, there was a married man.
00:56:14It's true, he didn't treat her very well.
00:56:17She would never tell me who it was.
00:56:20She didn't want me to dwell on it.
00:56:21Well, don't worry.
00:56:22I shall guard her like a liar.
00:56:24I shall guard her like a liar.
00:56:24I shall guard her like a liar.
00:56:26I shall guard her like a liar.
00:56:39What?
00:56:41I shall guard her arm.
00:56:43I shall guard her like a liar.
00:56:45I think we need some fresh
00:57:15seeds
00:57:20and oil
00:57:23and damp
00:57:26the seeds
00:57:30and of this
00:57:38I think it's going to be a bit
00:58:42Oh, I've taken quite a tumble.
00:58:45Oh, I'm afraid I'm not so steady on my feet these days.
00:58:48My knee doesn't help.
00:58:50Well, I'm so sorry, but I must go on.
00:58:52I'm supposed to be looking after poor Molly.
00:58:54Poor Molly?
00:58:56If you ask me, it's all the big act.
00:58:57Making herself out the tragic little figure,
00:58:59pretending to see things.
00:59:01Why would one pretend to be mad?
00:59:03To cover up for stuff.
00:59:05She's probably done something awful,
00:59:07or is planning to do something.
00:59:08I heard of a woman who murdered her husband,
00:59:11claimed to be mad at the time.
00:59:13Diminished responsibility, they call it.
00:59:15She was out of prison in two years.
00:59:17I wonder where you heard that story.
00:59:19Major Paul Graves, perhaps?
00:59:21Probably.
00:59:22He was abertly interested in murders and poisons
00:59:24and all that sort of stuff.
00:59:25I found her.
00:59:27Dear God, I found her.
00:59:28Found who?
00:59:29By Victoria.
00:59:29Yeah, just like Molly said.
00:59:53I ran a really, really
00:59:55Really, really, really
00:59:57Like this kind of fun
01:00:01In the Caribbean
01:00:04We just play a song
01:00:07We just come together
01:00:10In Castara
01:00:12As musicians
01:00:14We ought to play
01:00:18We play all day
01:00:22When do you suppose they'll let us leave?
01:00:28I'd imagine there are worse places
01:00:29To be holed up than in Paradise
01:00:31Mind you, having said that
01:00:33It looks as though there's a storm
01:00:35Al going its way into the party
01:00:36Typical
01:00:40We're supposed to be happy
01:00:43And instead, we're miserable
01:00:44I blame the Major
01:00:45Everyone blames the Major
01:00:47I had the evil eye
01:00:49I'd make a sign of the horns
01:00:51Every time I thought
01:00:51I was licking my way
01:00:52Do you really believe in all that?
01:00:56Magic and voodoo?
01:00:58I don't know
01:00:58I mean, that poor girl, Victoria
01:01:01First she was dead
01:01:03And then she wasn't
01:01:03And then she was dead again
01:01:05We'll have to stick to what we know to be true
01:01:07And we know a dead body
01:01:09Can't get up and walk about
01:01:11It's a lot of overheated nonsense
01:01:12The tropics has that effect
01:01:14If any people would just behave
01:01:16Molly
01:01:26You're up
01:01:28I feel so much better, darling
01:01:30I was so tired
01:01:33I think I just needed to sleep
01:01:35I'm not sure you should be out of bed
01:01:37I can't lie around here all day
01:01:38Like a stuffed dummy
01:01:39I'm going to get dressed
01:01:40And go out
01:01:41Have a nice walk
01:01:42And clear my head
01:01:42Oh, damn
01:01:49You were seen arguing with Victoria
01:01:53Before the murder?
01:01:54We always argue
01:01:54She's a strong woman
01:01:57She was
01:02:00What did you argue about?
01:02:04Some man had given her money
01:02:06Victoria is a good woman
01:02:08But I get jealous
01:02:09She needed money for the child
01:02:12The little girl is sick
01:02:14We cannot afford medicine
01:02:16Have you ever seen this before?
01:02:19No, I'm afraid it's very important
01:02:20Look, I'm sorry, Inspector Daventry
01:02:22But I am still trying to run a hotel here
01:02:23Is there a problem, Mr. Kendall?
01:02:25Yes, there is
01:02:25It looks like we're in for a storm
01:02:27When the last big one hit
01:02:28We lost the electrics for two days
01:02:30I need to go and stock up on candles
01:02:31But your people are saying
01:02:32I'm not allowed off the premises
01:02:33It's all right, Mr. Kendall can leave
01:02:36But you come straight back
01:02:38We'll need to talk to you
01:02:39Right, thank you
01:02:39We'll need to talk to your wife as well
01:02:41Yes, obviously
01:02:42Ed?
01:03:00I'm so sorry
01:03:01I was looking for Edward
01:03:02Face cream
01:03:03It's very important for the skin
01:03:07The salt water in the sun
01:03:09Does dry it out awfully
01:03:11Yeah
01:03:13Well, look, you're busy and
01:03:15You should use cream, Lucky
01:03:17If I may say
01:03:20You're looking a little rough around the edges
01:03:21Thank you
01:03:23I bear that in mind
01:03:24Tell Ed
01:03:27Tell him what?
01:03:28Oh, you know
01:03:29Yes, I do know
01:03:30I know everything
01:03:31He talked
01:03:40He didn't need to
01:03:41It wasn't exactly original
01:03:44What you two did
01:03:45Edward fell for someone
01:03:48Rather obvious
01:03:50If only he would show him
01:03:52A little affection
01:03:53Is that what you showed him?
01:03:56I gave him what he wanted
01:03:58You led him on
01:03:59Promised him the world
01:04:01At least your grubby little corner of it
01:04:04But there was one problem, wasn't there?
01:04:08Your first husband
01:04:10Mr. DeWitt III
01:04:11Parker was desperately ill
01:04:14Oh, give it all rest, Lucky
01:04:15That might have worked on Edward
01:04:16But not on me
01:04:17What did you tell him?
01:04:18You and Parker have talked about a way out of his suffering
01:04:20But to avoid suspicion
01:04:21Could Edward go to the chemist
01:04:22And get what you needed?
01:04:24Whatever I did for Parker
01:04:25I did out of kindness
01:04:26He was in great pain
01:04:29But I imagine it was still something of a nasty surprise
01:04:31To find himself knocking on the pearly gates
01:04:34What difference did a few months make?
01:04:38All the same, darling
01:04:39One doesn't do that sort of thing
01:04:40Well, Edward did
01:04:42And because of his guilt
01:04:44You've used him like a dishrag
01:04:46To clean up every mess you've made
01:04:48That is going to stop
01:04:50Is that understood?
01:04:52Hi
01:05:12You there
01:05:13Hi
01:05:14You were calling me?
01:05:17Of course I was calling you
01:05:18Who do you think I was calling?
01:05:19A cat
01:05:20Please
01:05:23Sit down
01:05:24I want to talk to you
01:05:25You were right
01:05:28About Paulgrave
01:05:30They dug him up
01:05:32And had a look
01:05:32And they found?
01:05:33Traces of something
01:05:35That only a doctor
01:05:36Could pronounce properly
01:05:37Enough of the stuff
01:05:39To do him in
01:05:40And leave the symptoms
01:05:41Of high blood pressure
01:05:43Aggravated by
01:05:45Overindulgence of alcohol
01:05:47Poor old chap
01:05:49Stick him in the ground
01:05:50And let's get on
01:05:51With enjoying ourselves
01:05:53In a way I'd rather have been wrong about him
01:05:55I expect you'd rather have been wrong
01:05:58About there being another murder as well
01:06:00The thing of it is, Mr. Raphael
01:06:03I don't believe Victoria's death
01:06:05Was the one being planned by our murderer
01:06:07I think, like the major
01:06:10She stumbled upon something
01:06:12That paid the price
01:06:14Eh, it's too bad about the maid
01:06:18I mean, she was a nice kid too
01:06:19Although, between you and me
01:06:21I think she liked to dip her fingers in the honey jar
01:06:23How do you mean, sir?
01:06:25Well, I don't want to say too much
01:06:26But I noticed a few little things went missing from my room
01:06:30Mr. Dyson, I believe you take a preparation called serenite
01:06:33Yeah
01:06:35Little pink tablets
01:06:38Blood pressure
01:06:38And have any of your pills gone missing lately?
01:06:41Yeah, it's funny you should mention that
01:06:43A bottle did do a vanishing act the other day
01:06:45Now, is it important?
01:06:48As things are
01:06:48Anything might be important
01:06:50Can you account for your whereabouts at the time of the murder?
01:06:55If you can figure out what time that was
01:06:57I'll try and figure out where I was
01:06:59Okay
01:07:00But you've got to admit
01:07:01The whole thing's kind of confused
01:07:03I was, uh
01:07:04I was kind of drunk
01:07:15Your man, Jackson, is a snooper
01:07:20Doesn't surprise me
01:07:21That's why they kicked him out of the army
01:07:24Caught him rifling through the filing cabinets
01:07:27Ferreting out secrets
01:07:29Still think he might be a suspect?
01:07:33I don't know
01:07:34But there's something
01:07:36Something vital
01:07:37Something someone said
01:07:38And it's nagging away at me
01:07:40Now
01:07:42I'll just have to let my guard drop
01:07:45And don't let it sneak up on me
01:07:48We'll carry on in the morning
01:08:01What a day
01:08:02Oh, Inspector
01:08:05Are you there to give me the third degree?
01:08:08No, no, no, no
01:08:09But I would like to offer you an apology, Miss Battle
01:08:12There's really, really no need
01:08:13The important thing is that you find the killer
01:08:16Before you have another body on your hands
01:08:19Ooh, no, no, no, no
01:08:21Oh, birds
01:08:27Ooh, yes
01:08:27Wait, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go down
01:08:31Oh, my God.
01:09:01She must have drowned herself, Tim. There's nothing she could have done.
01:09:10I should have been here. Why would she do this?
01:09:13Turn her over.
01:09:14What?
01:09:15You can't leave her like this.
01:09:24Lockie.
01:09:25She's wearing Molly Shaw.
01:09:26Oh, thank God.
01:09:31Molly.
01:09:36Darling.
01:09:39Molly, what happened to you?
01:09:45What have I done?
01:09:47I don't understand. Why was Lockie wearing Molly's Shaw?
01:10:03She admired it. She said she was going to get one like it. Evidently she did.
01:10:09You all right, Miss Anne?
01:10:12Lockie Dyson left her handbag here.
01:10:14I should take it to break.
01:10:16I don't think you should.
01:10:23Could it be poison of some kind or medicine?
01:10:26It's medicine of a sort. Cocaine, I reckon.
01:10:38I wonder what made her so unhappy. She felt she needed this.
01:10:41People take drugs for all sorts of reasons.
01:10:45It's nothing new.
01:10:46Witches in the Middle Ages used to anoint themselves.
01:10:48You know, rub Belladonna into the skin to bring on hallucinations.
01:10:52And in India, a young wife who'd married an old husband
01:10:55didn't want to get rid of him and end up on the funeral pyre,
01:10:57so she'd keep him under drugs,
01:10:59make him a semi-imbecile, driving more or less off his head.
01:11:02Sounds a little like the voodoo stories the major was so keen on.
01:11:06Witch doctors keeping people alive with drugs
01:11:08and all that sort of thing.
01:11:10Is that what you think?
01:11:12That I'm keeping old Mr. Raphael going with pills and potions?
01:11:14No, I didn't mean to imply.
01:11:16It's his work that keeps him going.
01:11:18If he was to stop for just one day,
01:11:19I think his heart would seize up and he'd drop dead on the spot.
01:11:23I should have thought that taking a holiday was
01:11:25rather a risky prospect then.
01:11:32Yes?
01:11:58Oh, come in.
01:12:02I'm sorry, madame.
01:12:05I should have told you what you needed to know before.
01:12:09Then maybe an innocent girl would not have been murdered.
01:12:11I've told Victoria many times.
01:12:14Rich folk just bring trouble.
01:12:15It's not just poor Victoria.
01:12:18There's the major,
01:12:19and now Lucky Dyson as well.
01:12:22So who was it from the hotel that came to see you?
01:12:25Quickly, you must tell me.
01:12:28The churchman.
01:12:29Prescott.
01:12:35The canon?
01:12:37I'm quite sure.
01:12:38He made me swear not to tell anyone he had been to see me.
01:12:42And what did the canon want from you?
01:12:43He's in love with Molly Kendall.
01:12:45Yes, I've noticed.
01:12:49So he wanted some sort of love potion, did he?
01:12:51To make her feel the same about him?
01:12:53No.
01:12:54He wanted me to help him to fall out of love with her.
01:12:58So I sold him some juju.
01:13:00How far would he go, I wonder, to protect Molly?
01:13:11I didn't have him down as a suspect.
01:13:14He wasn't in the mage's line of sight at dinner.
01:13:17And I'm positive he was there at the lecture when Victoria was murdered.
01:13:24But the police can't be sure exactly when she was killed.
01:13:27Though they think it could have been after the lecture.
01:13:29What if that's so?
01:13:32A trick has been played on all of us.
01:13:34Is it him?
01:13:35Is Caneprasco the murderer?
01:13:37Because if it is, I will kill him.
01:13:39I will kill whoever hurt my Victoria.
01:13:41Errol, please.
01:13:42There is one final piece of this puzzle I need to place.
01:13:45And until I do, promise me.
01:13:49You won't do anything drastic.
01:13:50All right, please.
01:13:58Be quiet.
01:14:00I've never missed anything.
01:14:01Oh, you'll never miss a thing.
01:14:03Do not worry.
01:14:04We'll find out if it was an accident or something worse.
01:14:06With everything else that's been going on around here,
01:14:08I'd say that the chances of it being an accident
01:14:11are pretty goddamn unlikely.
01:14:14Why was she even on the beach in the first place?
01:14:17You're going to have to accept, Greg,
01:14:18that she was very unhappy and took her own life.
01:14:20Shut your mouth, Tim.
01:14:21You don't know anything about him.
01:14:23Somebody killed Blackie.
01:14:24I'm afraid, Mr. Dyson, if that's the case,
01:14:26then you being her husband will be the prime suspect.
01:14:28I'm not talking to any conclusions, Sergeant.
01:14:32Anyone in this room might have had a motive.
01:14:34Or somebody who isn't in this room.
01:14:36Gee, where is Molly anyway, Tim?
01:14:50My lucky is dead, and I know perfectly well who killed her.
01:15:06I'm going to have to calm down, Greg.
01:15:08This really isn't helping.
01:15:10Lucky, she wasn't really, was she?
01:15:12Maybe she was right about the major and his evil eye.
01:15:17His evil eye?
01:15:20His eye?
01:15:22Of course.
01:15:23I've been foolish and very foolish.
01:15:26I ought to have known from the very beginning
01:15:28what this was all about.
01:15:30It's so simple.
01:15:31I mean, let's face it, folks.
01:15:33There's only one person in this hotel
01:15:35unhinged enough to kill three people.
01:15:37You better watch what you're saying, Greg.
01:15:38Your goddamn crazy wife, Tim!
01:15:42I warned you, Greg!
01:15:43I warned you!
01:15:44Grow up, Tim, for goodness sake!
01:15:47He's out cold.
01:15:48Please calm down, Mr. Kendall.
01:15:49Why? What's the point?
01:15:50My business is ruined.
01:15:52It won't survive this scandal.
01:15:53And Molly...
01:15:54Why doesn't anyone say it?
01:15:56What we're all thinking.
01:15:58Molly was carrying on with a married man
01:16:00before she met you, Tim.
01:16:02The major must have known all about it.
01:16:04It was quite obviously Greg.
01:16:06And now Lucky's out of the way,
01:16:08she's free to marry him.
01:16:15Please.
01:16:17She doesn't know what she's been doing.
01:16:19She doesn't mean it.
01:16:20She needs help, Tim.
01:16:22We'll need to talk to her, Tim.
01:16:24Yes.
01:16:25I understand.
01:16:27But...
01:16:28Please.
01:16:29Let me see her.
01:16:30It's five minutes.
01:16:33Five minutes.
01:16:34Five minutes.
01:16:36Well, what do you say, Miss Marple?
01:16:39Looks like they've solved the whole thing without you.
01:16:41Ollie.
01:16:43Ollie.
01:16:44Ollie, darling, it's me.
01:16:46Tim.
01:16:47Tim.
01:16:47Tim.
01:16:48Tim.
01:16:48.
01:17:03Molly.
01:17:05Molly, darling, it's me, Tim.
01:17:10Tim!
01:17:12It's all right.
01:17:14It's all right now. It's over.
01:17:18You must do the right thing, Molly.
01:17:24No, no, Tim.
01:17:26You must.
01:17:28More bad dreams.
01:17:30Just pull the trigger,
01:17:32and it's finished.
01:17:34Please, Tim, I don't want to.
01:17:36Pull it, you silly little bitch!
01:17:38That's enough!
01:17:40Oh, thank God. You were just in time.
01:17:42I think she was trying to kill herself.
01:17:44Don't be a fool, Tim. I heard everything.
01:17:46This is all very similar, Tim, to one of the major stories.
01:17:50About a man whose wives had a nasty habit of committing suicide.
01:17:54Give me the gun, Tim.
01:18:00Oh, God!
01:18:02Molly's gone insane! She's shot someone!
01:18:12No, Tim.
01:18:14I always knew that Molly was the intended victim.
01:18:18But up till now, I wasn't absolutely sure who the killer was, so...
01:18:22I asked Errol to change the bullets in your gun
01:18:26for some of Colonel Hillingdon's blanks.
01:18:28Just in case.
01:18:30I think we found our murderer, Inspector.
01:18:34Oh!
01:18:41Let go of him!
01:18:42It's not bad, Tim!
01:18:44Help!
01:18:45Let go of him!
01:18:46It's Molly!
01:18:47She's been telling lies!
01:18:48Tim, I love you!
01:18:49God's sake, shut your mouth if you're trying to get me hands!
01:18:52Shut the big ugly mouth of yours!
01:18:57Molly.
01:18:58I...
01:19:00Molly?
01:19:01There was never anything wrong with you, dear.
01:19:24Tim has been drugging you.
01:19:26He put something in your face cream
01:19:28and that would give you dreams and hallucinations.
01:19:32And...
01:19:33he left this round, didn't he?
01:19:35Give you ideas.
01:19:36Yes, he was good at that, giving people ideas.
01:19:38The thing you feared, it was him.
01:19:40But he won't scare you any more
01:19:42and you have friends, Molly.
01:19:44People who love you.
01:19:45It's all over now.
01:19:46All over.
01:19:47People come to these islands to play, to have affairs, to drink, and worse.
01:20:04They think that the normal rules of civilised behaviour do not apply here.
01:20:11And they call us savages.
01:20:13It was Tim who tried to have us believe there was some voodoo quality to all this.
01:20:18He borrowed some of the voodoo props from the party and put you off the scent.
01:20:23And this business about the married man that Molly was seeing before she met Tim,
01:20:28that was just another red herring, I suppose.
01:20:30Uh, not entirely.
01:20:32Molly was sent to England by her father and she did start an affair with a married man.
01:20:37Oh, I should imagine he started it with her.
01:20:40A naive young girl whose wealthy father owned a smart hotel in the Caribbean.
01:20:45She was quite a catch.
01:20:46And then Tim turned up and rescued her from this rotter.
01:20:49No, Tim was the rotter.
01:20:51He cooked up a story with Molly, disappeared for a while,
01:20:55and then turned up under a new name.
01:20:57Her father wasn't to know the truth.
01:20:59And Tim's wife conveniently committed suicide.
01:21:03Well, it wasn't the first time he'd tried that little trick.
01:21:06No, he'd done it already once before he met Molly,
01:21:09when he was out in Kenya.
01:21:11He was the figure in the photograph that the Major never quite got round to showing me.
01:21:17Well, I'm damned.
01:21:20And that was what was stopping me.
01:21:23Tim hadn't been in the group that the Major looked at.
01:21:26But I was forgetting his glass eye.
01:21:30He wasn't looking at that side of the table door.
01:21:33He was looking straight at Tim.
01:21:35And Tim knew.
01:21:37It was Tim in the Major's photograph.
01:21:40He was the murderer who killed before.
01:21:42And it wasn't just Molly he had in his sights.
01:21:45When Tim discovered how much money Esther stood to inherit,
01:21:49he decided she'd make a most suitable wife number four.
01:21:52And fearing that the Major would upset his plans to do away with Molly,
01:21:56went to work, leading us on a trail of misdirection
01:22:00that would end up with the poisoning of poor old Major Palgrave.
01:22:10With the Major out of the picture,
01:22:12Tim set about covering his tracks.
01:22:14He planted Gregory Dyson's serenite tablets in the Major's room as a possible cause of death.
01:22:19The maid, Victoria, realized there's something not right with the pills.
01:22:24She desperately needed Molly for her sick child.
01:22:27And Tim offered it to her if she would go along with his plan to shake up Molly.
01:22:32He could be very persuasive.
01:22:35He fed her a despicable lie about Molly and Errol.
01:22:39So, Victoria faked her own death to make Molly appear mad.
01:22:46What's the matter?
01:22:47In there, I saw her.
01:22:48Saw her?
01:22:49Saw who?
01:22:50In the mirror, I saw her.
01:22:51I saw Victoria.
01:22:52There's no one there.
01:22:57But Tim was not one to leave any loose ends until I died.
01:23:09And, of course, he had the perfect alibi since he was at the lecture at the time of a fake death.
01:23:14But how did he manage to drown Lucky when he was nowhere near the hotel?
01:23:19And, for that matter, why did he drown her?
01:23:22Sadly, that was a mistake.
01:23:24She was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
01:23:27Poor, tragic Lucky Dyson, who had turned to drugs to obliterate her guilty conscience.
01:23:34Tim knew that Molly loved to walk up to the point every day.
01:23:38What he didn't know was that it was also Lucky Dyson's favorite spot.
01:23:49And the current carried her body round to the beach at Golden Palms.
01:23:56He was very clever.
01:23:58On the contrary.
01:23:59Like most murderers who have got away with it once, he was stupid.
01:24:04Stupid and overconfident.
01:24:06We always catch them in the end.
01:24:31Scotch, please.
01:24:32Please.
01:24:33Oh, my God.
01:25:03Oh, I think your Mr. Raphael can help us there.
01:25:12What's that?
01:25:13No more secrets, Mr. Raphael.
01:25:15I don't know what you mean.
01:25:17You haven't been here on holiday at all, have you?
01:25:20You've never taken a holiday in your life.
01:25:22You've been trying to buy the hotel, your chemicals company.
01:25:26Tim is not a complete fool.
01:25:28He knew that the land was far more valuable than a risky hotel business.
01:25:34I was paying some attention to the ornithological lecture.
01:25:38I should imagine that the guano deposits are worth a considerable fortune.
01:25:44And Molly would never sell the hotel too sentimental.
01:25:48Which is not something you would ever be accused of, Miss Marple.
01:25:52I've lived too long. Seem too much for that.
01:25:56That looks like a young man who's still very much in love.
01:26:01I think he's had to accept that it's something he just can't fight.
01:26:05I hope it plays out for Molly.
01:26:07She deserves a little happiness now.
01:26:10Prove positive, though, that Mama Zodby's potions were all just hogwash.
01:26:15Oh, I don't know. Her tea's done wonders for my knee.
01:26:19Well, I must be going.
01:26:23Ave Caesar.
01:26:24Los morituri.
01:26:26Te samatamos.
01:26:30I'm afraid I don't know very much Latin.
01:26:33But you understand.
01:26:36Yes.
01:26:37I understand.
01:26:40It's been a great pleasure to know.
01:26:42It's been a great pleasure to know you too, Miss Marple.
