02:53Good morning, ma'am.
02:54Good morning.
02:56Jane dear!
02:58Oh, Julie.
03:01Oh, goodness.
03:02Is this Bobby?
03:04Well...
03:05Say hello, Miss Marple.
03:07Hello, Miss Marple.
03:08This was on the doorstep.
03:09It looks rather important.
03:15You don't have to go.
03:16Why do you have to go, Bobby?
03:18Oh, Jane dear, do come in.
03:21Robert's poor Miss Marple's tea.
03:23A bit of a drama, I'm afraid.
03:25The letter you gave Bobby?
03:27Yes.
03:28Well, we've had rather an upset recently.
03:30Bobby found a body.
03:32Gracious.
03:33On the cliff.
03:34A Mr, um...
03:35Pritchard.
03:36Pritchard.
03:37An accident, the police said,
03:39which is why he doesn't have to go to the inquest.
03:41And then this letter's come out of the blue,
03:43saying it's not even in the village,
03:45but in Market Dawning, of all places.
03:47You've told them everything?
03:49Haven't you?
03:50Yes.
04:02Really, Robert.
04:04Sorry, Jane.
04:05She's new, I'm afraid.
04:06Just came back from my honeymoon.
04:08How lovely.
04:09That's enough, Robert.
04:10Better be off, then.
04:11Bobby.
04:12Bobby!
04:19Bobby.
04:20Bobby Hatfield.
04:22Frankie, Frankie Derwent.
04:24You came to Mummy's dance at Derwent Hall.
04:26We played postman's knock in the butler's cupboard, remember?
04:29I think I scared you off, rather.
04:31Did you?
04:33This is rather ghastly.
04:35Let's go to first.
04:40So, how's Trix?
04:42Oh, you know.
04:44Orgies in the vestry.
04:45Usual kind of thing.
04:50How are you?
04:51Wild.
04:53Just off to town, meeting up with Pongo.
04:56Do you know Pongo? Pongo Slim.
04:58Pongo Slim.
05:00Pongo.
05:01Do you know Pongo? Pongo Slim.
05:02Such a gas.
05:03You should come.
05:05I've got an inquest, actually.
05:06Oh, well, don't say I didn't know.
05:08God, someone you know?
05:10Well...
05:13Someone I found, actually.
05:15Found? Do tell.
05:17He said something to me before he died.
05:20Why didn't they ask?
05:23Eh, fellas?
05:30All shut up.
05:32Decidedly odd.
05:36There's no sign of an inquest.
05:38The letter says it was...
05:39It's clearly a fake.
05:44But it's perfectly obvious.
05:46Whoever pushed him knows you found him,
05:48but doesn't know if he said anything.
05:50So just in case, just in case,
05:52they made sure you weren't at the inquest.
05:54Then I've got to tell the police.
05:55What?
05:56About Evans.
05:57No.
05:58What?
06:00I'll be...
06:01Oh, fine. Tell them everything.
06:03Scaredy cat.
06:08All right.
06:09What?
06:11Let's do it.
06:18So there was an inquest.
06:20Really, Inspector.
06:22And, um, who identified him?
06:25His cousin?
06:27Richard who, sorry?
06:30Trent!
06:31Oh, Dick, Dickie, Dickie Trent.
06:33Oh, they were so close, like brothers.
06:36Poor Dickie.
06:37I don't suppose you've got his address?
06:40I know you're not meant to, Inspector.
06:42It's just, well, my mother...
06:44Lady Derwent, yes.
06:46Would so love to drop him a line.
06:48Why didn't they ask Evans?
06:50Pretty loaded last words, I must say.
06:53Pop it in the post, sit back,
06:55see what he does on Mr Trent.
06:57The inquest trip didn't work.
06:58I wonder what little surprise he'll have up his sleeve this time.
07:01Come on.
07:04I'd love to see Trent's face when he reads it.
07:07Come on.
07:24Dear Mr Trent,
07:26sorry to miss you at the inquest.
07:28Mr Pritchard said something to me before he died,
07:31which I feel I should tell you.
07:33He said, why didn't they ask Evans?
07:36Yours most faithfully, Robert Atfield.
07:41Poppy darling, is that you?
07:44Remember the time you fell off the orchard wall?
07:48When you broke your arm?
07:50Hmm?
07:51Poppy?
07:52I can still see you teetering along the top of it,
07:55shouting, I'm the Dark Avenger.
07:58I'm dicing with death.
08:00And it could have been a lot worse.
08:02About nine, weren't you?
08:04Poppy darling?
08:08You never told her.
08:10Said I tripped on your wheelbarrow.
08:12You're doing it again.
08:14What?
08:15Dicing with death.
08:35Quite good, aren't you?
08:37Thanks.
08:43Any news from Trent? Anything?
08:45No, nothing.
08:46Oh, damn.
08:48Well, it could be a good sign, though.
08:50He'll be working out his next move.
08:53I'm sure he will.
08:55I'm sure he will.
08:57I'm sure he will.
08:59I'm sure he will.
09:01He'll be working out his next move.
09:04Frankie?
09:05What?
09:06You know Miss Marple?
09:08Who?
09:10What's that I'm busy up to?
09:23I do so love the sea air, don't you?
09:25Hello.
09:26Any news from Mr Trent?
09:28Sorry?
09:29I'm just wondering how poor Mr Pritchard got here.
09:35Pritchard?
09:37I was trying to tell you.
09:40What an enchanting lame.
09:43I can't believe you told her.
09:45A silly old woman.
09:46She's not, actually.
09:48Come on, keep up.
09:51Well, it could be our Mr Pritchards.
09:56Well, it could be anybody's.
10:02From London? Mayfair?
10:05Lovely view of your house, Bobby.
10:08Reminds me of a film I saw during the war.
10:12These commandos in Crete stole a German general's car
10:17with a wire coat hanger.
10:20Is that the time?
10:22Marjorie's expecting me back for elevenses.
10:26Though where they found a coat hanger on a Cretan hillside,
10:30I've no idea.
10:38Yes?
10:42Oh!
10:45Oh, anything of interest?
10:47Actually, yes.
10:48Nothing much.
10:49Just an old pipe and some tobacco.
10:50And a hotel key.
10:51May I?
10:53Look, he's marked somewhere.
10:55Castle Savage.
10:57Oh, miles from here.
10:58Castle Savage, now.
10:59I seem to recall something.
11:00Right, well, thanks for your help, Miss Marple.
11:02You've been marvellous.
11:03You ready, Bobby?
11:05Right.
11:06Oh, bugger.
11:08Bloody dinner parties, bloody mothers.
11:12You could come.
11:14Me?
11:15Oh, well...
11:16No, don't worry.
11:18Probably organise some man for me anyway.
11:22Pongo or someone?
11:23Probably.
11:25If you change your mind.
11:29Anyway, better be going.
11:32Right.
11:42Oh, my God.
12:04Bobby, darling.
12:05You do make me want to go and supply Martini.
12:09I say, Chigga, are you going up to the helms for your shoot?
12:21Bye-bye, darling.
12:22Bye-bye.
12:39Bye-bye.
13:09Bye-bye.
13:23My hero.
13:26We got him, Miss Marple.
13:27Got who, dear?
13:28Trent, of course.
13:29He tried to wipe out Bobby.
13:30He got our letter where we told him we knew Pritchard's last words
13:33and they're obviously highly incriminating.
13:35Oh.
13:36Oh, poor darling.
13:37Is it terribly painful?
13:38A bit.
13:39Right, come on.
13:40What?
13:41Go into Castle Savage.
13:43Castle Savage?
13:45Why?
13:46Well, Pritchard ringed it on the map.
13:47He was obviously going there or had been there or something.
13:50Maybe Trent will be there or Evans, too.
13:52And guess what?
13:54Daddy knows Jack Savage.
13:56The man who owns Castle Savage has an enormous tea empire in China or somewhere.
14:00Bad apple, apparently.
14:02Anyway, he's dead.
14:03And really suddenly, too.
14:05Heart attack, so they say, six months ago.
14:07Oh, this is such a lark.
14:08Two dead bodies and we haven't even got started.
14:11Right, come on, Bobby.
14:12No.
14:13What?
14:14It's not a lark.
14:16Someone tried to kill me.
14:17Which is the proof we need.
14:18Wait.
14:19Wait?
14:20I don't wait.
14:22Go on your own, then.
14:24Right.
14:26If that's what you want, I will.
14:28Fine hero you turned out to be.
14:38She can do what she wants.
14:40I don't care.
14:42Good bloody riddance.
14:44Quite, dear.
15:37Oh, God.
16:07Shh.
16:38Sorry.
16:39It seems you're hurt.
16:41I've got you, madam.
16:43You're all right.
16:45This way.
16:54No.
16:55Sorry.
16:56I've got you.
16:57Sorry.
16:58I've got you.
16:59There.
17:00You'll be all right.
17:04I've got you, madam.
17:08Oh.
17:11It's all right.
17:12It's all right.
17:13There we are.
17:14Who is it, Wilson?
17:16Oh, dreadfully sorry.
17:18Prang the Healy.
17:20Daddy'll be livid.
17:21Lord Derwent.
17:22Won't tell, will you?
17:24Oh, God.
17:26Oh, sorry.
17:28Frankie Derwent.
17:29How do you...
17:30Sylvia Savage.
17:32Wilson.
17:33What shall we do?
17:35What shall we do?
17:36Send for the doctor, milady.
17:38Send for the doctor.
17:40Yes, that's right.
17:41The doctor, Wilson.
17:42Hurry.
17:52Hello.
17:55I'm Alec Nicholson.
17:57What happened?
18:00You're jolly pretty.
18:01Are you staying?
18:02Dorothy.
18:03I'm so sorry, Lady Derwent.
18:05Frankie, please.
18:06Hello, Frankie.
18:07Hello.
18:08Dottie, you're in the way of the doctor.
18:10He's not really a doctor, doctor, though.
18:12Are you, doctor?
18:13Dottie.
18:14Out, please. Get out.
18:15It's all right.
18:19Going anyway.
18:26Tom?
18:28I saw her, yes.
18:34Now, don't you worry.
18:36I used to be a medic during the war.
18:38I still remember most of it.
18:43So, what do you do now, then?
18:45Psychiatry, actually.
18:46I have a clinic over the way.
18:48Tell me.
18:50How's that?
18:52So, what's that, then?
18:54What?
18:55Psycho, what's it?
18:58Looking for the truth, I suppose.
19:01Sounds rather terrifying.
19:03Only if you have something to hide.
19:09Right.
19:12I'm going to give you...
19:16...one of these little chaps.
19:18And you should definitely stay.
19:21So that we can keep an eye.
19:25There.
19:29Pop it down.
20:22Yes, you stole
20:25Held all my heart and soul
20:34My God, there you are. I thought you'd skedaddled.
20:37Still here, I'm afraid.
20:38Smashed her car, poor darling.
20:40Oh, dear. Nothing broken, I hope.
20:42No, I don't think so.
20:43Anyway, Dr. Watson said I ought to stay.
20:45So, sorry.
20:47Excellent diagnosis, I'd say.
20:49Roger.
20:50Dotty.
20:51Poor Frankie.
20:53She's supposed to be resting.
20:55Though she does look better, I must say.
20:57And you've met Roger.
20:59A tonic for any girl.
21:01Aren't you my darling?
21:03Oh, do play something, Roger, please.
21:06It's so wonderful to have music in the house.
21:09Don't you think so, Frankie?
21:11Wonderful.
21:20Frankie, will you stay to dinner tomorrow?
21:22We all have dinner together on Thursdays.
21:24Please, can she come, Mummy?
21:26Of course she can, my darling.
21:28Thank you. I'd love to.
21:30No one dresses up.
21:32Apart from Evans, of course.
21:34Oh, God!
21:36I'm so sorry.
21:37It's all right.
21:38It's all right.
21:39It's all right.
21:40It's all right.
21:41It's all right.
21:42It's all right.
21:43It's all right.
21:44It's all right.
21:45It's all right.
21:46It's all right.
21:47It's all right.
21:48I'm so sorry.
21:55I'm so, so sorry.
22:05Don't worry.
22:07Wilson will mend it.
22:11He's a marvellous mender.
22:19I feel a bit...
22:20I think I need to go back to my room for a while.
22:23I'll take you.
22:24I'll take her.
22:27Mummy got Roger in to teach me my brother Tom the piano.
22:30Trouble is, he's a hopeless teacher.
22:32Tom's atonal, and I can't keep my eyes off his trousers.
22:35Who's Evans?
22:36Claude, actually, but everyone calls him Evans.
22:39Works for Daddy in China.
22:42And that's Daddy.
22:44The mighty Jack Savage.
22:46Not so mighty now, obviously.
22:48Ghastly death.
22:50Writhing, foaming, apparently.
22:52Weak heart, so they say.
22:53I don't think so.
22:54Don't you?
22:55He didn't have a heart.
23:17You must be Tom.
23:22Hello.
23:25Lost something, sorry.
23:28Did you find it?
23:30No.
23:34This is Roland.
23:36Touch him if you like.
23:38He won't bite.
23:40Bit funny about snakes.
23:41Would you like to meet Carly?
23:42Carly?
23:43Hindu goddess of death.
23:46My Malayan pit viper.
23:48She's deadly.
23:51Perhaps another time.
24:11Hello?
24:12Guess what.
24:13Frankie?
24:14I'm here.
24:15Castle Savage.
24:16Just thought you might like to know.
24:18Pretended to crash the car.
24:20Well, did crash the car, actually,
24:22but it was obviously a clever ruse as they've taken me in.
24:26They?
24:27Do keep up with the Savages.
24:29Their creepy doctor tried to drug me.
24:31Drug you?
24:32Lady Savage is strange, too.
24:34Her son wanted me to look at his viper.
24:37His viper?
24:38Anyway, Jack Savage died horribly, apparently.
24:41And guess what?
24:43He used to work with a certain Mr Evans.
24:46He lives nearby.
24:47I personally grabbed it on my own.
24:50What about Trent?
24:54Trent?
24:56Well, obviously, he'll be here, too, I imagine.
25:01Frankie?
25:02I've got to go.
25:03Sorry.
25:04Bye.
25:13Bobby!
25:14Bobby!
25:15Come and have some nice cakey.
25:18I'm feeling a bit better, actually,
25:20so I thought I'd head off.
25:22Oh, Marjorie, dear.
25:24I'm so sorry about this.
25:26A very dear friend of mine has taken ill in London.
25:30I have to visit her for a few days.
25:32Oh, dear.
25:33She sounded so poorly on the phone.
25:35Marjorie, I wondered,
25:37London is a lovely place, isn't it?
25:41Marjorie, I wondered,
25:43London's so hectic nowadays.
25:46If I might possibly prevail upon Bobby to accompany me.
25:50Bobby?
25:57London Pride!
25:59London Pride!
26:01Now, you know what to do?
26:03Yes.
26:04You've got the key?
26:06Yes.
26:08You must use your wits now.
26:10I'm not sure I have any.
26:12Oh, yes, you have, my dear.
26:15Remember the Dark Avenger!
26:38Ah!
27:08Ah!
27:39Ah-ha!
27:41We wanted to meet this young lady.
27:44Peter Peters.
27:46How do you do?
27:48Your little motor at the gate, I take it.
27:51Heading for Elliford, I believe.
27:53That's right.
27:55Hello.
27:56I'm Evans.
27:57I'm Peter Peters.
27:59And I'm Marjorie.
28:01And I'm Marjorie.
28:03And I'm Marjorie.
28:05And I'm Marjorie.
28:07I'm Evans.
28:08You all right?
28:10You just, um, reminded me of someone, that's all.
28:13Dreadfully attractive, I trust?
28:14Oh, dreadfully.
28:16You worked for Lord Jack in China, I gather?
28:18It was quite a while ago.
28:23Cartier, madam?
28:25Of course.
28:34Who could that be?
28:36Moira?
28:37Hardly.
28:41Sorry to go on.
28:43Elliford, you say?
28:44Really.
28:45Peters.
28:46Elliford, that's right.
28:47But your motor, I couldn't help noticing, is actually, um, headed away from Elliford.
28:53Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
28:56Sorry.
29:00Excuse me, Lady Derwent.
29:02Your governess has arrived, madam.
29:03My what?
29:04Oh, there she is.
29:06I'm so sorry.
29:07Do forgive me for intruding.
29:09I saw the car crashed at the gatepost, aren't I?
29:12But you've clearly been rescued.
29:14Thank heavens.
29:15Oh, you must be Lady Savage.
29:18Do forgive me, please.
29:20Jane Marple.
29:22Brentke's governess.
29:24Well, I've been retired many years now, but still keep in touch, which is so lovely.
29:29How do you do?
29:30Yes.
29:31You got here just in the nick of time, Miss Marple.
29:33She was about to get arrested.
29:35Heavens.
29:36Commander Peters here, ex-CIG.
29:38Noticed her ladyship's motor was headed away from Elliford.
29:41It would be tiresome, Dotty.
29:42Nothing escapes your regal eye, does it, Commander?
29:45But we weren't meeting in Elliford.
29:47We were meeting in Little Thissenden at the Rosebush Cafe.
29:52Do you know it?
29:53Most delicious lemon curd.
29:54Which is that way, of course.
29:56You must have realised you've come too far and turned around.
30:00I did.
30:01Far too far.
30:02I turned round on the hill to get back to Little Thissenden.
30:05Yes.
30:06So there we are, Commander.
30:08Everything's tickety-boo.
30:10Whatever you say, my lady.
30:20Would you all excuse me?
30:22So sorry.
30:23I just need to...
30:25Wilson, we'll see to your arrangements, Miss Marple.
30:28Wilson.
30:30A room next to Lady Derwent, if it's not too much trouble.
30:34Be like old times, wouldn't it, Frankie?
30:37Of course.
30:38Wilson?
31:00Yes.
31:28I don't need any help, you know.
31:29Of course you don't, dear.
31:31Bobby is on to the Pritchard connection.
31:34You remember the key on the pod?
31:36Well, Bobby's rather missed the boat, I'm afraid.
31:38Yes. Also...
31:40What?
31:41Downstairs.
31:42Did you feel it?
31:44I can't quite put my finger on it, but something's not right.
31:48I wouldn't want to be here without a friend.
31:56I found this.
31:58My room reeked of pipe.
32:00Pritchard must have been there.
32:29Yes?
32:30I'm in the hotel, in his room.
32:33Yes?
32:34He's not called Pritchard.
32:37He's called Carstairs.
32:39John Carstairs.
32:41Well done, Bobby.
32:42And I found his diary.
32:45He's written Savage on the second.
32:48Something on the eighth.
32:50A code or something.
32:53Oh, and a photograph.
32:55You're a beautiful girl.
32:58Moira.
32:59What does the code say?
33:00What does the code say, Bobby?
33:02Oh, um...
33:03Nine on the eighth.
33:04S-N.
33:05Ear.
33:06P and P.
33:07Oh, another map reference, probably.
33:09I don't know.
33:10I don't know.
33:11I don't know.
33:12I don't know.
33:13I don't know.
33:14I don't know.
33:15I don't know.
33:16I don't know.
33:17I don't know.
33:18I don't know.
33:19I don't know.
33:20I don't know.
33:21Another map reference, probably.
33:22Solicitors.
33:23Could be solicitors.
33:24Just what we were thinking.
33:26He was dead by the eighth, so he'd never have got there.
33:29Oh, and by the way, Bobby...
33:52It's a jungle.
33:58We had such excellent gardeners.
34:04What happened to them?
34:05Jack got rid of them.
34:07Just before he died.
34:09Replaced them with those wretched loafing boys.
34:13Why on earth do we keep them?
34:16Because they're cheap.
34:18They're much prettier.
34:20Everything's changing, isn't it?
34:23The whole country's getting richer.
34:25Apart from us, apparently.
34:27The staff are all gone.
34:29Tilly, the housemaid.
34:30Edie, the kitchen girl.
34:31Gerald, the boot boy.
34:33And Flory, of course.
34:35Mind you, she couldn't really have stayed.
34:38Poor little thing.
34:40Only Mrs. Perkins and Wilson left.
34:43You keep our bodies and souls alive somehow, don't you, my darling?
34:49Oh, such a struggle.
34:53How about Roger paying his rent?
34:55Roger doesn't pay rent, does he?
34:57No, he's just the pianist, isn't he?
34:59I'm not just the pianist, actually.
35:00Oh, stop it, please, darling.
35:01What are you, then?
35:02Yes, what exactly are you, Roger?
35:03Will you all shut up, please?
35:13Charming chicken, if I may say so.
35:16It's haddock, actually.
35:18I think we all need a bit of jungle in our lives, don't you, Miss Blackpool?
35:22As long as we can find our way out.
35:25Claude has his own little jungle, don't you, Claude?
35:27Full of poison orchids.
35:28Orchids? How lovely.
35:30They're not all poisonous, my darling.
35:32Some of them are quite polite.
35:36What are you doing, darling?
35:52You said you'd stay at home.
35:53I feel a bit better.
35:54I thought I'd come over.
35:55Is that all right?
35:57Of course, darling.
35:58She's by me.
36:05She'll drown, perhaps.
36:27Actually, I was about to ask.
36:29Frightful long shot, but I had a friend in these parts recently.
36:33Well, a friend of my father's, really.
36:36John Carstairs?
36:48More haddock, madam?
36:50No, thank you.
36:53Carstairs.
36:54Carstairs, yes.
36:57Don't think I...
36:58Do you remember Carstairs?
36:59Do I?
37:00Asking all those questions.
37:02Of course you remember him, mother.
37:03Asking about dad's will, wasn't he?
37:04The will, wasn't he, mother?
37:05Stop it, Dorothy.
37:06So he was here, yes.
37:07Then he vanished.
37:08Vanished?
37:10You can blame me for that.
37:13Told him to get packing.
37:15Told him to his face.
37:17Got the point, I think.
37:19Where would I be without Commander Peterson?
37:21I could see what he was after.
37:23Seen it too many times.
37:26Preying on a grieving widow.
37:28So where is the money, actually?
37:29It's been six months since dad corked it.
37:31Right, quiet.
37:32Quiet!
37:33Both of you.
37:35I beg your pardon.
37:37Shut up.
37:38Shut up, shut up, shut up!
37:40This has nothing to do with you.
38:00Very pretty, isn't she?
38:02Who?
38:03Moira.
38:04I suppose so.
38:06Anyway, didn't you notice?
38:09I just quite brilliantly discovered, if I do say so myself,
38:12that Carstairs was here.
38:14And not only that, they all met him.
38:16When he was asking about the will, yes.
38:19But didn't you notice how they all reacted?
38:21The children were rather upset.
38:24Yes, yes, they were.
38:26The children were rather upset.
38:28Yes, yes, the children.
38:29But you're missing something much more important.
38:31Am I, dear?
38:32Who didn't react?
38:34Oh.
38:35Evans.
38:36Miss Marple, he just carried on eating his chicken.
38:38Haddock.
38:40Haddock.
38:41And I mentioned Jack's name to Evans just before you arrived.
38:45And he positively froze.
38:53Oh, sorry.
38:54I'm Moira.
38:55Hello, dear.
38:56I talked to his wife.
38:58We weren't introduced.
39:01Everything went a bit crazy tonight.
39:03My fault, I'm afraid.
39:05Your fault?
39:06Yes.
39:07Did you hear it?
39:08Hark, ah, the nightingale.
39:11What triumph there, what pain.
39:18Not cold, are you, dear?
39:20I know I'm fine, thank you.
39:23You're very lucky, Frankie,
39:25to have such a sweet person in your life.
39:28Your husband seems very sweet.
39:30Oh, yes, Alec's marvellous.
39:32So...
39:33The trouble is, I rely on him so much.
39:35It's his own fault.
39:37Has this effect, you see.
39:39Stares at you with those great deep eyes.
39:41Women fall for that kind of thing, don't they?
39:44I've got no right to get upset.
39:46It's just...
39:48Well, you spend so much time with her and I...
39:50Silly, really.
39:52End up spying on them and things.
39:55Coming to dinner uninvited.
39:57Don't know why I'm telling you this.
39:59No, it's fine, really.
40:01I mean, it's been dreadful for her.
40:03I know she's in grief.
40:04He keeps telling me, but...
40:06Honestly, why?
40:08Why, dear?
40:09Jack never loved Sylvia.
40:11Everyone knew that.
40:13Spent all his time chasing everybody else.
40:16As soon as he saw a woman, you know,
40:17he couldn't help himself.
40:19Addicted, Alec says.
40:21Just kept on and on.
40:23She knew it.
40:25Just wouldn't admit it, that's all.
40:27Did he chase you?
40:30Ever since we arrived.
40:32Did you tell anyone about this?
40:34Your husband?
40:36Evans told him.
40:40Moira, what are you doing?
40:42We were listening to the nightingales.
40:44Finished at the castle, darling?
40:46Yes, all done.
40:48You should really be inside, you know.
40:50I've got Roger's coat.
40:52Yes, I see.
40:54Come along, then.
40:56Good night, ladies.
41:09Thank you, Moira.
41:17Well, it's obvious who it is, isn't it?
41:19Jack's the monster.
41:21So, Evans murders him.
41:23Carstairs comes along, finds out,
41:25Evans follows him and pushes him over the cliff.
41:27But...
41:28But Carstairs recognises him.
41:30Which is why he said we should ask Evans.
41:32There, solved.
41:34They weren't quite his words, were they, dear?
41:37Well, near as damn it.
41:40Frankie, dear.
41:42You have a very sharp mind.
41:46But you must beware of distractions.
41:48Distractions?
42:09Come on.
42:27Come on.
42:29I'll get another mallet.
42:35You know what happened, don't you?
42:37Sorry?
42:38Yes.
42:39Don't you?
42:45Come on, partner.
42:52Wait there, look.
42:56Just like...
43:01Robert!
43:02Sorry to disturb you, madam.
43:04I've brought madam's clothes, madam.
43:06Well, perhaps you'd like to take them to Miss Marple, please, Robert.
43:09Might I enquire where I might find Miss Marple, madam?
43:12I'll show you.
43:14Come on.
43:18Might I enquire if madam might want some help with her mallet, madam?
43:23HE GIGGLES
43:33Missed a bit.
43:35Snazzy moustache.
43:37At least I'm making an effort, more than some people.
43:40Well, at least I haven't been swanning about in Knightsbridge.
43:43Swanning about? Mm-hm.
43:45Come on, Robert. I want to see my face in it.
43:49Perhaps we've got the whole case sewn up, if you want to know.
43:52Meeting the chief suspect this afternoon, actually.
43:56What are we doing? Going for a spin?
43:59We've been invited to tea, I gather, with Mr Evans.
44:02Great. Let's all go.
44:04Oh, lovely.
44:05Your man can take us. Good idea.
44:07Robert.
44:09Certainly, madam. Loves orchids.
44:11HE GIGGLES
44:12Bit of a type kid, I'm afraid.
44:14Oh, we'll manage fine.
44:16I like your insolence, Robert.
44:22What's this?
44:24Don't touch, darling.
44:26That is Dyscolum septa serpentilengua.
44:30My little serpent orchid.
44:32He owe you as quick as luck at you, wouldn't it, Claude?
44:34Certainly would, my darling.
44:36Where's the pathia one? The incredibly rare one?
44:40A pathiopedilum.
44:42HE SNIFFS
44:43From China.
44:45Crushed and imbibed by the emperors.
44:48Kept them primed, so to speak, for a month.
44:53Exhausting.
44:55Jack's favourite.
44:57I wouldn't have thought Jack was a flower lover.
44:59Jack?
45:01No.
45:04This was just a business.
45:06Commodities.
45:08That's all they were to him.
45:09Not for you, though, are they, Mr Evans?
45:11No.
45:12No, they're not.
45:15They're my darling children, if you must know, and they're all I have.
45:19Jack was trying to get rid of them, wasn't he?
45:21I thought he was my friend.
45:23I was...
45:26nothing!
45:28Just a middleman!
45:34Sorry.
45:39Well, it's rather what you are here, isn't it, Mr Evans?
45:42A middleman.
45:44Right between the doctor's house and the castle.
45:47Wonderful views of each.
45:50Hmm.
45:53My godfathers, Miss Marple.
45:56You should see what I see.
45:58In and out of that clinic.
46:00There's an actress, a barrister, three judges,
46:04a politician with a strange proclivity,
46:07and that man off What's My Line.
46:09Goodness. And other things, Claude.
46:11Other things? Gosh.
46:13What?
46:14Well, the terrible rows between Daddy and the doctor, for a start.
46:17Moira.
46:18Doctor!
46:19I don't see why we can't talk about it.
46:21He's dead, isn't he?
46:24She used to sit there sobbing, little Moira.
46:27Poor little squirrel, she didn't know what to do.
46:29Now it's as bad with Alec.
46:31You know how jealous he gets.
46:32She argues back.
46:34I tell her not to.
46:35She'll push him too far, you know.
46:38Then one day he'll really...
46:41Really what?
46:47Sorry.
46:49I don't like it when men bully women.
46:57What a gallant young chauffeur.
47:10THE END
