00:14I shall give, shall it be the truth, the whole truth, and shall it be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
00:27Yes, sir?
00:27And you are a dentist?
00:29Yes, sir.
00:30And you are a dentist?
00:32Yes, sir. I've taken over the dental practice of the late Mr. Henry Morley down at 68 Harley Street.
00:37I see. You were recently called to examine the body of the deceased for purposes of identification.
00:49I was, sir. I was, sir. The police believe the body to be that of Miss Maybelle Sainsbury's seal, who was a patient of Mr. Morley's.
00:55I see. You've inherited, as it were, the late Mr. Morley's patients.
01:01That's right, sir.
01:02And, of course, their dental records.
01:04Quite.
01:05And could you identify the body from these records?
01:08I could, sir.
01:09It was not Miss Sainsbury's seal. It was Mrs. Sylvia Chapman, another patient of Mr. Morley's.
01:15The fair Mabel put one over on as good and proper. I wouldn't have thought she was capable of murder, but that's what it looks like now. Sylvia didn't murder Mabel. Mabel murdered Sylvia.
01:30Perhaps. It crossed my mind that...
01:32Chief Inspector, the records would still have existed.
01:33That's right. Anyway.
01:34Still have existed.
01:35That's right. Anyway, I'm going back to work.
01:37Oh, Chief Inspector. This morning I received a letter from Monsieur Blunt.
01:39He has invited me to his house in the country. He may have a commission for me.
01:43Well, you always did move in exalted circles, Poirot.
01:47That's right.
01:49Anyway, still have existed.
01:51That's right.
01:53Anyway, I'm going back to work.
01:55Oh, Chief Inspector, this morning I received a letter from Monsieur Blunt.
01:59He has invited me to his house in the country.
02:01He may have a commission for me.
02:03Well, you always did move in exalted circles, Poirot.
02:17Helen isn't dining with us tonight?
02:23I suggested that it would be far better for her to rest
02:27than to go to all the bother of dressing herself up and coming down.
02:32She saw my point.
02:34Oh?
02:35I thought it might make a pleasant change for her.
02:38I really don't see why you need a secretary during the weekend anyway.
02:44She needs to learn.
02:59Monsieur Poirot?
03:03A great deal about which I am not and am not entirely satisfied.
03:07What do you want of me, Monsieur Poirot?
03:11Is Brissile alive or dead?
03:16Alive or dead?
03:18You think she may be dead?
03:27I'd be dead, yes.
03:29Why do you think so?
03:31Why do you think so?
03:34You're an odd man, Monsieur Poirot.
03:46Oh, yes, I am.
03:48Very odd.
03:49That is to say, I am methodical, orderly and logical.
03:55And I do not like to distort facts to support a theory.
04:00I'm not familiar.
04:01How does it know?
04:02And I am not sure if I can do anything,
04:03but...
04:04I think it is often going to be long.
04:05Great.
04:06Vida.
04:07But...
04:08Sounds good.
04:09I am not sure.
04:10I mean...
04:11I think...
04:12Oh, yes, I am not sure.
04:14I should be waiting.
04:15I cannot see the detail of the story, to see the story.
04:17I am not sure.
04:19I am not sure.
04:20I cannot see the story, but I am not sure.
04:21I am sure.
04:22You are not sure.
04:23By the way, I will believe that.
04:24Good morning.
04:54Good morning, Mr. Poirot.
05:12Did you sleep well?
05:13Excellently, thank you, Monsieur Blunt.
05:16Good morning, mademoiselle.
05:17Good morning, Mr. Poirot.
05:20Congratulations, Mr. Blunt, while your American relations are with you, your American relations
05:25are with you.
05:30Good morning.
05:35Julia, I'm afraid you'd rather hurt Helen's feelings.
05:39Oh, for heaven's sake, Alistair.
05:41She's only a secretary.
05:49It is that you have a Gardner, Gardner, who you must have employed recently.
05:55Name?
05:56I'm afraid not.
05:58McAllister, the head Gardner, engaged him.
06:00Oh.
06:01What is...
06:02I'm afraid not.
06:03McAllister, the head Gardner, engaged him.
06:05Oh.
06:06What is his name?
06:07Well, I don't know.
06:08Dunning.
06:09Sunbury, something of the sort.
06:12It seems like lots of people are up for your blood.
06:17It seems like lots of people are up for your blood, Uncle Alistair.
06:20Oh, really?
06:21What are you reading?
06:23Oh, the debate in the house.
06:25That's only Archeton.
06:26If we don't even have his way, England will be bankrupt within a week.
06:30Did you know there are over two million unemployed in this country?
06:34One can't make an omelette without breaking eggs, Jane.
06:37I think we do pretty well, all things considered.
06:40Industrial production was up three percent last year.
06:43I take no notice of what Jane says.
06:46You know what girls are.
06:48They go to these parties in studios,
06:51and then they come home and talk a lot of nonsense.
06:54Oh, mother.
06:56I'm afraid I'm one of the last of the old guard, Monsieur Poirot.
07:00And if the old guard should be removed, what would happen?
07:05Removed?
07:07I'll tell you.
07:08A lot of damn fools would try a lot of very costly experiments.
07:12It would be the end of stability, of common sense, and of solvency.
07:28Of course, we've always taken great pride in our herbaceous borders here.
07:31They're a lot of work, mind, but well worth the effort, I've always thought.
07:35Ah, now these flowers here, they are beautiful.
07:37Yes, they're particularly good this year.
07:39And look at these here.
07:40Huh?
07:41Good God!
07:42Got that gun!
07:43Oh no, they're shooting at the bird, I suppose!
07:44And I suppose!
07:45Oh my God!
07:46They caught him right at it!
07:47I was just waiting in the beds.
07:48I heard a shot, the gun fell right on my feet, I picked it up, and this stupid cow jumped on me!
07:55Now then, Dunning, Dunbury, what is your name?
07:57His name is Frankie Carter.
07:58You?
07:59You've had it in for me all along.
08:00I never fired that shot!
08:01In that case, who did?
08:02As you can see, there is no one else here but ourselves.
08:04You?
08:05You?
08:06You've had it in for me all along.
08:07I never fired that shot!
08:09In that case, who did?
08:11As you can see, there is no one else here but ourselves.
08:15You really must not agitate yourself, Mama.
08:43You really must not agitate yourself, Mademoiselle Neville.
08:47First, they try to pretend that Frank attempted to murder Mr. Blunt.
08:51And now they've accused him of murdering poor Mr. Morley.
08:56Sugar?
08:57No, thank you.
08:59At exam, when the shot was fired at Mr. Blunt.
09:02When the shot was fired at Mr. Blunt.
09:05It's these black shirts.
09:07They march around waving their banners.
09:09They have this ridiculous salute.
09:11And they work up these poor men like Frank.
09:14Until they think they're doing something wonderful and patriotic.
09:17And that is the defense of Mr. Carter?
09:20No!
09:21I haven't seen him, of course.
09:22They wouldn't let me.
09:23What Frank had said.
09:36He met a man in a public house.
09:40Who said he was in the secret service.
09:47And he offered Frank this wonderful job.
09:50And listened to all the other gardeners' conversations.
09:55To all the other gardeners' conversations.
09:57And sound them out as to their red tendencies.
10:01He had to pretend to be a bit of a red himself.
10:04And they solicit her story that he's more plausible.
10:08Lawyers.
10:09Lawyers.
10:10He wouldn't believe how difficult they are.
10:16Agnes.
10:17I didn't think at all about her.
10:18Mr. Morley's sister kept a...
10:19I didn't think at all about her.
10:20Mr. Morley's sister kept a strict eye on the maids.
10:21Oh.
10:22She wrote to me a letter.
10:23And...
10:24As yet...
10:25And...
10:26As yet, I do not know why.
11:21You're teaming.
11:29Only I didn't want for you to come to the house.
11:31I didn't want for you to come to the house.
11:34I mean, if I was to say anything in front of Miss Morley,
11:37she might say us how I ought to have said something before.
11:40But me and the cook, we'd read in the papers
11:43how the master had made a mistake with that drug
11:45and that it shot himself.
11:46So it did seem quite clear, didn't it, sir?
11:48When did you begin to feel differently, Agnes?
11:52Seeing it in the paper, sir, about that Frank Carter
11:55shooting at that gentleman.
11:58I mean, up till then,
12:01neither of us thought he'd done anything to Mr Morley.
12:04We just thought he was a bit queer.
12:08What was queer, Agnes?
12:10It was that morning, sir.
12:12The morning Mr Morley shot himself.
12:15I was wondering if our dad ran down and get the post.
12:19So I went out on the landing and I looked down over the stairs.
12:24And it was then that I saw him.
12:27That Frank Carter, down on the stairs below,
12:29he was just standing there, like, waiting.
12:34Then he seemed to make up his mind
12:35and he sort of went very quickly down the stairs
12:37towards the master's surgery.
12:39And I thought to myself,
12:42the master won't like that.
12:45Agnes!
12:47As I heard, the master had shot himself
12:48and it was so awful,
12:49it just drove everything out of my head.
12:52And it was so awful,
12:53it just drove everything out of my head.
12:57Tell me, Agnes,
12:57did you actually see Frank Carter
13:01enter the room of Mr Morley?
13:04He must have done, sir.
13:07Must have been about half past twelve.
13:09Must have been about half past twelve, sir.
13:10I want to see Frank Carter.
13:30What's the big idea?
13:32You are unwilling?
13:33What do you want to see?
13:38Ask him if he really murdered me,
13:39if he really murdered Morley?
13:40Yes.
13:42And I suppose you think he'll tell you if he did?
13:44He might tell me, yes.
13:46That can only mean that you've got hold of something
