04:18I think... I think... I think...
04:48Inspector Neal. Come on, dear.
05:00I'm sorry, Inspector Neal. He didn't regain consciousness at all.
05:04Last to death. What do you think?
05:06We'll have to do a post-mortem, of course.
05:09But I think it's... You think it's poisoning?
05:11I'll bet you a week's win is it's some form of alkaloid poisoning.
05:14Trouble is, we don't know how it was administered.
05:18He didn't drink anything at the office.
05:20There are plenty of alkaloids apart from strychnine.
05:22Some quite slow-acting ones.
05:24He could have taken it at breakfast.
05:26Breakfast?
05:29This way, Inspector.
05:31Oh, there you are, sir.
05:34Well, well.
05:36To the bound.
05:37Back to Fortescue's office first, eh?
05:39You got all this close?
05:40And more, sir.
05:44Ta-da!
05:46From the deceased Savile Row Taylor Worsted, sir.
05:49Hold out your hand.
05:54There.
05:56Seed.
05:57Where was it?
05:58In the pocket of his jacket.
05:59What do you reckon?
06:02Barley?
06:04No.
06:06Rye.
06:08I think it's rye.
06:09Did Mr. Fortescue feed the pigeons?
06:16Him?
06:18No, I don't think so.
06:20He didn't have a pet of any sort?
06:22Pet?
06:23No.
06:28Sir, if I told you he had a pocket full of seed in his jacket when he died,
06:32you'd have no explanation for it.
06:36Seed?
06:38No.
06:40Right.
06:41Thank you, Miss Grosvenor.
06:43I wonder if you'd ask Miss Griffith to come.
06:46All right.
06:51I'm sorry you're making no further space, sir.
06:53Goodbye.
06:55Hey.
06:56Keep your libido to yourself.
07:00You got anything?
07:01Oh, yes, sir.
07:02A right little vipers' nest, sir.
07:07Guess who?
07:08His daughter?
07:09His wife.
07:11First one dies, 20 years ago.
07:13He married this one a couple of years back.
07:15Not very well received.
07:16Hardly surprising.
07:18The two sons are at each other's throats.
07:19The older one, Percival, works in a family business.
07:22A bit straight-laced.
07:23The younger one, Lance, is something of a tear-away.
07:25Corraled with his father years ago and went abroad.
07:27Africa.
07:28What about Percival?
07:30Oh, he still lives at home.
07:31Baden-Eath.
07:32It leads at the moment on business, I gather.
07:34Went up yesterday.
07:36They want to see you next.
07:37Oh, yes, of course.
07:40Now.
07:41When else?
07:42Good morning.
07:42Good morning.
07:45Recently, he'd suddenly become odd, positively gossiping and, quite frankly, flinging his money
07:54about.
07:54Mr. Percival was worried.
07:56A lot of the business was going wrong.
07:59I understand there was a real duster.
08:01Well, he swore at Mr. Percival.
08:06I mean, in the outer office, in front of the girls.
08:10Really abused him.
08:11Called him a miserable, pettifogging little clerk.
08:14Mr. Percival went bright red.
08:18Mr. Fortescue said he would get Mr. Lance home again.
08:23Mr. Lance was worth ten of him, he said.
08:27Mr. Lance had some guts, he said.
08:29And he'd married well.
08:31He married the widow of Lord Frederick Anstice, you know.
08:35What do you think of Lance Fortescue?
08:37Oh, Mr. Lance is rather different.
08:42We all like Mr. Lance.
08:51My God, there's some money about it.
08:54Yeah.
08:55What would I spend it on?
08:57These are not nice houses.
08:59What would you make contact with?
09:01Housekeeper.
09:03Superior young female, very cool.
09:05Miss Dove done Mrs. Fortescue's carpet.
09:11She asked me, so I did it.
09:14One moment, Ellen.
09:22Have you heard the news?
09:24She's a widow now.
09:26The Lord has taken away what she was waiting for, wasn't it?
09:30The circumstances of Mr. Fortescue's death were not uncomplicated.
09:35I see.
09:37The police will be here shortly and they'll probably be asking questions.
09:40I thought you ought to know.
09:42It's a stain gone.
09:44The world's a cleaner place today, Miss Dove.
09:47One thorough scrub and he'll be forgotten.
09:50And the better for it.
09:51New tree lodge.
10:06I was brought up in a lodge.
10:08If that's a lodge.
10:10Ours was a shoebox.
10:11How's Mrs. Fortescue been told, by the way?
10:18She's out playing golf somewhere.
10:20Can't be contacted.
10:21That's going to be fun.
10:23Breaking it to her.
10:24Yeah.
10:25Mind you, if you're going to be a widow, better be a rich one, eh?
10:28I thought he'd been a bit peculiar lately.
10:39But I never reckoned.
10:42Poor Mr. Fortescue.
10:44How to fit.
10:48Brainstorm.
10:49You never know, do you?
10:53I wonder what brought it on, eh?
10:56Make a good guess.
10:57You've got a mind like a sink trap, Reginald Crump.
11:01Yeah, you're right.
11:05Perhaps it was something he ate.
11:06Don't you start that again.
11:10Oh, Gladys.
11:12I'm sorry.
11:14I'm sorry.
11:16I'm so sorry.
11:17I'm sorry.
11:18Not again, Gladys.
11:21I'm sorry, Mr.
11:27What's the matter with Gladys the rabbit?
11:30We're none of us ourselves.
11:33Crump, could you?
11:35I'd better go and play.
11:36Ah, good morning, sir.
12:01Detective Inspector Neil, Detective Sergeant Hay.
12:04Miss Dove is expecting us.
12:05Oh, yes, of course, Inspector.
12:12Gladys!
12:14Gladys!
12:16What on earth the matter?
12:19I'm a cuckoo, Mr. Love.
12:21I am so ill.
12:23We're so together, Gladys.
12:24Nobody is cross.
12:26It was only breakfast, China.
12:29Inspector Neil.
12:30Oh, yes, Miss Dove.
12:34Thank you, Miss Dove.
12:40Oh, I'm a good girl.
12:44There's plenty of Sosayet.
12:45I'm just going down to the village to see Mrs. Eder's youngest.
12:54She's got coke again.
12:56So very tiresome, isn't it?
12:59Oh, yes, Daisy.
13:00Oh, that's very nice.
13:01Yes, very much better.
13:03No nasty mess on the paint.
13:05Yes, very good.
13:06Oh, you've got a little on the keyhole, dear, haven't you?
13:12Sorry, ma'am.
13:14Oh, it's all right.
13:15You'll get it off in a jiffy.
13:17No, there's a very great improvement.
13:21Well done.
13:21Miss Marple?
13:46Miss Marple?
13:47Miss Marple?
13:51Oh, good afternoon, Mrs. Brogan.
13:57Look, Miss Marple, look.
13:58Stop, press, look.
14:00That's where our Gladys went.
14:02Gladys?
14:04Gladys, what you trained up so nicely.
14:07After she'd been at the cafe at Danemouth.
14:09That's our latest place.
14:10Mrs. Fortescue of Badenheath.
14:14Fortescue?
14:15Oh, yes, yes, I think you must be right.
14:17Yes, I remember writing the reference, yes.
14:20Mystery death, it says.
14:22There's not much help.
14:23Of course, there's only the lunchtime edition.
14:25Dare say there'll be more later.
14:27Would you like me to bring one round for you, Miss Marple?
14:30Oh, thank you so much, Mrs. Brogan.
14:31Yes, yes, I'd appreciate that.
14:33Thank you, yes.
14:37Good afternoon, darling.
14:44Good.

14:48All facing now.
14:49Very well.

15:16I'm sorry.

15:17I'm sorry.

16:03the admirable miss Crichton

16:31Mr. Foltescue died from alkaloid poisoning as I suspected
16:34it's a very interesting case
16:36why
16:37it's a very rare poison
16:38rare in the sense that it's been administered to a human being in concentrated form
16:43are you certain
16:45that that
16:47is the case
16:49that it was administered
16:51it couldn't just have been a mistake
16:53no
16:54unless the deceased was in the habit of chewing trees
16:57what
16:58the porcel was taxin
17:00it's an alkaloid derived from the 40 agent berries of taxus macata

19:23she knows he likes to see her looking wonderful at breakfast so she makes sure he does
19:27I don't think he makes many demands on her if you know what I'm talking about
19:31good morning Miss Henderson breakfast is ready
19:37Mr. Fortescue's sister-in-law by his first marriage is much addicted to the scriptures
19:42she sees the house perhaps correctly as a den of iniquity and hardly ever leaves her room

31:03I'm sorry we heard you say here about it.

31:08Detective Inspector Neal, sir.
31:11Oh, good.
31:12Very good.
31:14Have you an explanation of this, Inspector?
31:17Explanation, sir?
31:18Who gave them this information?
31:21Now, I suggest the only people privy to this tragedy
31:24with the police and my family.
31:25I think I can vouch for my family,
31:27which lays it fair and square at your door, I'd say.
31:30What information particularly, sir?
31:33Have you any conception what this sort of thing can do
31:35to a business like ours, hmm?
31:37Or even suggesting there's some sort of black magic involved?
31:43Here.
31:44Police this evening will be following up
31:46the mysterious clue of the handful of grain
31:48found in the victim's pocket.
31:50Was this some kind of ritual murder
31:52hitherto undisturbed?
31:54I'm very sorry it should upset you, sir.
31:57Of course, you can't legislate for the bad taste of journalists,
32:00but I can assure you...
32:02It's not good enough, Inspector.
32:03Not good enough.

37:32I got an egg and I got some food.
37:33the gentleman of the police are here again sir
38:01show them to the billy drum what would be most helpful to us mr fortescue would be if you could
38:06give us some idea of your father's testamentary dispositions yes my father made a new will on
38:13the occasion of his marriage two years ago he leaves 100 000 pounds to his wife absolutely
38:19later he added a codicil leaving 40 000 pounds to my wife jennifer in her own right although i am
38:26a residuary legatee to your wife was that to avoid death duties no quite frankly mr win did it please
38:37you that your wife should be favored in this fashion it was a matter of indifference to me
38:43i thought it unnecessary do you argue about it of course not we never argued over family matters
38:52only business matters
38:58occasionally not seriously would it be unfair of me to suggest that if your father had lived
39:06another few months the business would have gone bankrupt and that his death from that point of
39:11view could be said to be timely
39:15yes it would be unfair of you to suggest that inspector
39:20did your father make provision for your brother in his will he was cut out of it years ago when
39:26he went to africa he owns a small proportion of the business at 20 percent share that's all
39:30he may claim so he's come back too late he was hoping for reinstatement in my father's trust then yes
39:41we'll check out brother lance i'll talk to the a.c. you sort out the inquest
39:48borsky was in the a.c.s when sonic lodge by the way
39:51it's got to be the money hasn't it i don't think it was a sex crime sir mrs rex fortescue gets
40:03a hundred thousand pounds mrs percival fortescue gets forty thousand pounds a lot of money
40:09how much does mr percival lay his hands on a little hey
40:14something was going wrong with the company rex fortescue was running the show percival didn't like
40:25the way he was doing it that's a good enough motive except he was in leeds
40:29not so good an opportunity i grant you mrs forsegill gets the money she also gets a partner to offer with
40:39her grip du bois i agree come on let's get over to northam
40:59i can't pretend to a great deal of grief
41:26i've hardly seen my father since i went to africa but i thought
41:33well i've been led to believe that things were on the men between us
41:38can you tell me about that sir of course when my marriage to pat was in the gossip columns he wrote
41:45to me pat was the widow of a lord you see and the governor i'm afraid was a bit of a social climber
41:51social steeplejack actually so there was some kind of reconciliation
41:59oh not quite as dramatic as that let's say it looked as if a thaw was possible
42:04i came over to visit him this summer and he suggested very discreetly that i might like to go
42:09back into the firm i told him i'd think about it it was pat's decision too you see
42:14well we decided to take him up on his offer didn't we darling and i spent the last few months winding
42:23up my affairs in africa whereabouts in africa is that going to make you so i told the old boy i'd
42:30wire him the date of my actual arrival in england here we are no one seems to know you were coming
42:36back son not even your brother no the governor was going behind his back kept the whole thing very cloak
42:44and dagger no one was to know i was coming over and we were to meet in private as you may have learned
42:49inspector a cautious man look darling i'll go down to you tree lodge today's plan but we'd better set
42:57you up with a hotel no darling i'll come with you really i'd rather you didn't we'll get you a

45:47Not the best afternoon to choose.
45:49Mr. Lance will be here at tea-time.
45:52Anyway, off you go.
45:55Hello.
45:57Don't tell me you must be the excellent Mr.
46:07Oh, this is so awful. We should not be laughing like this.
46:13Oh, Staff! Are you going?
46:15Oh, Staff! Are you going?
46:17Smashing tea, Mrs. Fortescue and Fortescue Mrs.
46:19But duty calls. Shrieks, rather.
46:21Duty?
46:23Duty?
46:24Auntie Effie is my favourite aunt. I must see how potty she's got in the interim.
46:27Stepmother, may I say how pleased I am to meet you at last.
46:31Stepson, may I say how pleased I am to welcome you home.
46:33We badly need another man in the house.
46:35See you both at dinner.
46:37Hello, Aunt Effie.
46:39They tell me don't have to go to dinner.
46:41Hello, Aunt Effie.
46:43They tell me don't have to go to dinner.
46:45Oh, she's my favourite aunt.
46:47I must see how potty she's got in the interim.
46:49Stepmother, may I say how pleased I am to meet you at last.
46:53Stepson, may I say how pleased I am to welcome you home.
46:57Hello, Aunt Effie.
47:03They tell me downstairs you're getting very peculiar.
47:07I always was very peculiar.
47:11So you've turned up again.
47:14Like a bad penny.
47:16Got your wife, will you?
47:18No, it's not the place for her.
47:20Showed some sense at least.
47:22Who is she, this wife of yours?
47:25Patricia Anstis.
47:27Her first chap was killed in a spitfire.
47:29And then...
47:30Anstis.
47:31Lord Anstis, wasn't it?
47:33Blew his brains out.
47:35Couldn't face the jockey club.
47:37That's the one.
47:39Well, you married some property at least.
47:42No, I didn't.
47:44Pat hasn't been.
47:45That's why I came back.
47:47Probably have to nine to five it from now on.
47:49Let's not talk about that. It's too depressing.
47:51How are you?
47:53What's been going on here?
47:54Godless things.
47:58Your father was a rogue when he married a harlot.
48:03He used to stone women of her kind.
48:07Yesterday she was just an adulteress.
48:11Now she's a rich adulteress.
48:15What's that supposed to mean?
48:18The journey from vice to evil is but a step.
48:27Oh, come off it, Aunt Effie.
48:30I don't know where she is.
48:32The girl's a fool.
48:33She's been twitching all day.
48:35Doing nothing right.
48:36And now she's gone off again.
48:38Not so much as a buyer leave.
48:40How are we supposed to manage?
48:41We'll manage.
48:42I'll clear the tea things.
48:44And if she's not back in time, Mr Crump and I will serve at table.
48:47You, miss?
48:48Yes.
48:49Won't we, Mr Crump?
48:52Mrs Fortescue?
48:53I just thought I'd clear the tea tree.
49:06Thank you, tea tree.
49:36That was dove.
49:37Yeah.
49:38Oh, my God.
50:06Thank you,ань.
50:07Oh, my God.
50:09Thank you, Mrs Fortescue.
50:13Good evening, ma'am.
50:42Oh, hello, Daisy.
50:44There was a telephone call for you, ma'am.
50:46Oh, yes.
50:48Any messages?
50:49No, ma'am.
50:50She was very upset you was out.
50:52Said she'd ring back later.
50:53Good.
50:54Well, that seems satisfactory.
50:56Who was it?
50:57What?
50:58I said, who was it, dear?
51:00Oh, it was Gladys, ma'am.
51:02From Baden-Heath, the Fortescue's.
51:04Gladys Martin.
51:06It has just been reported from Baden-Heath
51:09that a second tragedy has followed hard upon the heels
51:12of the murder yesterday of financier Mr. Rex Fortescue.
51:15His young widow, Mrs. Adele Fortescue,
51:18has been found dead,
51:19apparently poisoned by the tea she was taking
51:21in her own sitting room.
51:23Sing a song of sixpence, a pocket full of rye.
51:33Rex, the king.
51:38The queen was in the parlour.
51:42The maid, Gladys.
51:49Gladys.
52:19You're the king.
52:20Oh, cheers.
52:21I'm sorry, eh.
52:22Goodbye.
52:24Oh, a lot of these women today.
52:27But don't leave the whole young point.
52:31Why, yes!
52:32May I not even imagine you for sure?
52:34No.
52:35There is a hallmark that has been encountered
52:40that night at the same time.
52:41удь vilیاki,
52:44it's hard to find out of surprise.
