00:00Where is it?
00:29What have you done with the will?
00:30I don't know what you're talking about.
00:33Sorry, Wilson.
00:37You've no idea.
00:41No idea at all.
00:59Brothers?
01:20That is correct, madam.
01:23Lord Jack Savage, recently deceased.
01:27And the first lord, George.
01:30His elder brother, my lady's previous husband.
01:35Wasn't there a tragedy I seem to remember reading in China?
01:39A tragedy, yes, madam.
01:41Didn't he lose his life there, Lord George?
01:45More than his life, madam.
01:53George brought me to live here.
01:56After we married.
01:58Such happy days.
02:01A time of...
02:04Enchantment, really.
02:07Laughter and parties and music.
02:13Just look at them lazing about.
02:16So, when did you meet Jack?
02:20Well, not till...
02:22China, not properly anyway.
02:25At the court of the emperor, would you believe?
02:29Puyi.
02:32Except he wasn't a...
02:34A real emperor, just a...
02:36A puppet of the Japanese.
02:38Very handsome in his Savile Row suits, but...
02:44A joke, really.
02:48He gave them China on a plate.
02:51George could see it happening, but...
02:54George just shouted at them.
02:57So they killed him.
02:59Oh, my dear.
03:00Oh, Jack knew it was the Japanese.
03:02Jack knew everything.
03:04He was very well connected.
03:06Very charismatic and charming.
03:10Jack got us both out.
03:12Said that if we didn't go now...
03:14Well, he'd heard rumours.
03:16What they did to European girls.
03:21I'm not a child myself.
03:26Jack left you a very wealthy woman.
03:29I don't know what he did in China, and I don't care.
03:33The way they're grasping for it.
03:38They sicken me, frankly.
04:15Dr Nicholson!
04:40Miss Marple!
04:43Look, I found a photo of your wife.
04:48Where did you find that?
04:50Oh, it's so beautiful here.
04:52Perfect place to heal the mind.
04:55You must have been thrilled when Lord Jack offered it to you.
04:59Well, it was Moira, actually.
05:02She'd already met Jack.
05:04It charmed him completely, I'm sure.
05:07I'm not surprised you fell in love with her.
05:09Yes.
05:10Anyway...
05:11It's a maleo, isn't it?
05:13It looks like a hospital.
05:16That's right.
05:21She was my nurse, actually.
05:23I went as a psychiatrist, but they needed doctors.
05:27Well, I was still pretty au fait.
05:29You could still tie a bandage.
05:30Exactly.
05:31Wield a syringe.
05:33Right.
05:34So, Moira and I...
05:36Fell in love.
05:37How romantic.
05:40Is that Amber Flush or Amber Queen?
05:45Sorry?
05:46May I?
05:49Amber Queen, I think.
05:51It's quite intoxicating, isn't it?
05:54Oh, please!
05:59Do you recall when love was old and we were seventeen?
06:15So, how did you...
06:16Wind up here?
06:19Well, I was playing in a club in Soho, actually.
06:22Pretty much on the ropes.
06:24And one day, Alec and Moira walk in.
06:26Out of the blue.
06:27And we get talking, you know.
06:28And Alec says he knows this millionaire who's absolutely loaded, Roger.
06:32And his wife wants their kids to learn the piano.
06:35And that I could just live there.
06:37Just...
06:38Just what, Roger?
06:39You're just waiting for the money, aren't you?
06:42Is that what she said?
06:43Did she?
06:44Well, I've got a surprise for you, Roger.
06:46I've seen the will.
06:47And if you think you're getting your...
06:49Well, I've seen the will.
06:52And if you think you're getting any...
06:54If you think...
06:57Well, I've got certain means.
07:00How dare you?
07:02How dare you?
07:03And if you just accuse me of...
07:05How dare...
07:06Is that what he thinks I'm...
07:07Bastard!
07:09I'm sorry, Frankie.
07:15You've got to get out.
07:16What?
07:18You heard the poison he was spouting.
07:19There are bad things here, Frankie.
07:23You've got to leave.
07:26Sorry.
07:29Bugger.
07:30Sorry.
07:31You've just got to get out.
07:33That's all.
07:35But just say you'll see me again.
07:38But not here.
07:40Somewhere different.
07:41Somewhere safe.
07:55Somewhere safe.
08:26Robert?
08:30Robert?
08:41Robert?
08:46Robert?
08:51I know you're there.
08:53Robert?
09:00Robert?
09:10Wait, it's all right.
09:15Wait.
09:16Please don't, please.
09:20It's all right.
09:21I thought it was...
09:23Can you move it?
09:33You're probably wondering what I'm doing.
09:35No, I...
09:36They all say, poor little Moira.
09:37As if I don't know what's going on.
09:38As if I'm a child.
09:39I know what's going on.
09:41Why can't he just tell me he's not in love with her?
09:43He just wants her money.
09:45He's not in love with me.
09:47Doesn't even notice me.
09:51I think you're the most noticeable person I've ever noticed.
09:56I've got to get back.
10:02Here.
10:06I'm Moira, by the way.
10:08I know.
10:11Please.
10:41I'm Moira.
11:11I'm Moira.
11:41I'm Moira.
12:01May I?
12:26So, er...
12:28Cracked it, I think.
12:30Sorry?
12:31The doctor.
12:34Evans, actually.
12:36No, actually...
12:37Look, I've been on this case for three whole days,
12:39while you've been chasing Moira around,
12:42and I've proved conclusively it's Evans.
12:45Evans, Evans, Evans, Evans, Evans, Evans, Evans.
12:59Ah!
13:05Help!
13:18I don't know why you're looking so smug.
13:20He still did it.
13:24Commander, would you mind terribly reading the note again, please?
13:29Certainly, Lady Derwent.
13:32My life of sin is no longer bearable.
13:35Goodbye, dear Sylvia Claude.
13:37May I, Commander?
13:39Identical handwriting, you see.
13:45Not quite identical, actually.
13:47Look at the L's.
13:48Very inconsistent looping.
13:50I think you'd have inconsistent looping, young man,
13:52if you was about to stuff yourself with orchids.
13:54Each flower has been neatly decapitated.
13:57Now, why would he do such a cold and cruel thing to,
14:00what did he call them, his darling children?
14:02If I might be able to dabble for a brief moment in the psychiatrist's domain...
14:07I think that you should order an immediate post-mortem, Commander.
14:10Madam, Lady Savage has been distressed enough recently.
14:13Commander, a cruel and unnecessary death has occurred.
14:16I do think one should be utterly certain of the circumstances
14:19before the veil is finally drawn, don't you?
14:25Evans kills Jack, then pushes Carstairs over the cliff,
14:27then tries to run you over, then tops himself.
14:29It's blindingly obvious.
14:31There was silence before we could ask him.
14:33What?
14:34That Carstairs was silenced when he was pushed over the cliff.
14:37Evans wasn't the killer.
14:39What?
14:40Why didn't they ask Evans?
14:42We know his last words.
14:43Ask Evans.
14:44Obviously, Evans knew something.
14:46Interesting.
14:47Our Mr Trent, or whoever called himself Mr Trent,
14:50knew Mr Carstairs' last words as well, of course.
14:53Well, yes, we wrote to Trent, but Trent is Evans and Evans is dead.
14:57What?
14:58I saw him.
14:59Saw what, dear?
15:00Nothing.
15:01What did you see, Bobby?
15:02I simply saw Roger heading for Evans' house at exactly the same time.
15:05Does that mean he was going to poison you with half his bloody orchids?
15:07Anyway, last night you thought it was the doctor.
15:09I can't keep up with you.
15:17Roger.
15:18I'm going to ask you a question,
15:20and I'm just going to ask it so we know where we are.
15:23You were seen leaving the castle and headed towards Evans' house last night
15:26just before he died.
15:31I wasn't going to Evans' house.
15:33Where were you going?
15:34To the doctor's, actually.
15:35Why? Why Roger?
15:36Why Roger?
15:38Because I was feeling unwell.
15:40You were feeling unwell?
15:41Yes.
15:42You were feeling unwell?
15:43Yes.
15:44Why?
15:45Because I was feeling unwell.
15:48You were seeing Moira?
15:50Don't be ridiculous.
15:51You were. You were seeing Moira.
15:52Dotty!
15:54You were, weren't you? You're having an affair, aren't you?
15:57Are you two having an affair?
15:58I guess.
16:00Yes.
16:02Yes, we are.
16:06We were.
16:07We're not anymore.
16:09You've actually been...
16:10Dotty!
16:11Who saw me?
16:12I did.
16:13The bloody chauffeur?
16:14Not a chauffeur, actually.
16:17I am actually...
16:21Lady Derwent's friend.
16:23And we are investigating the murder of John Carstairs.
16:28Ladies and gentlemen,
16:30I would ask you all to kindly remain on the premises.
16:34Not now, Peters.
16:36Very good, my lady.
16:44Well, they all know now.
16:46He called me a chauffeur.
16:47You are a chauffeur.
16:48I'm not a chauffeur.
16:49Why have you been so bloody impetuous?
16:51I'm sorry.
16:52Oh, you're obviously delighted about Roger.
16:53Proves he's a louse and a cheater. Well done.
16:55Still, Moira's not as innocent as she looks.
16:57You don't even know her.
16:59I think we should keep our voices down.
17:01What's the point? Everything's blown out.
17:05Wilson?
17:07No, no. I'm sorry, Mr. Wilson.
17:10This is important.
17:11Lady Savage mustn't be disturbed.
17:12Oh, my God.
17:14As I thought.
17:16Hello, Jane.
17:17How are you?
17:18I'm fine, Mary Jane.
17:19You're looking a bit pale.
17:20It's nothing.
17:21You're not hurt, are you?
17:22I was just getting some sleep.
17:23Oh, my God!
17:24It's nothing.
17:25My eyes are closed.
17:26No, it's just...
17:27I'm alright.
17:28Oh, my God.
17:29It's nothing.
17:30My eyes are closed.
17:31I was just getting some sleep.
17:32Well, then why didn't you say anything?
17:33Oh, my God.
17:34I was just getting some sleep.
17:35Hello, Jane.
17:36Mummy?
17:39What are you all doing?
17:40Please, miss, don't come in.
17:42Hello, Dottie, darling.
17:44I'm so sorry, my darling.
17:46What's the matter, mummy? Why are you talking like that?
17:48What's the matter with her?
17:55You see, Dorothy, my dear, she's not having an affair with the Doctor.
17:59She's not having an affair with Alec.
18:01He's obsessed with Moira.
18:03He's just delivering your supplies, isn't he, Lady Savage?
18:07And then it's up to you, isn't it, Mr Wilson?
18:10Quite an expert, after all these years.
18:14Disgusting. You're disgusting, Wilson.
18:17You're too, my darling.
18:20You're too.
18:25It was the what?
18:27The pain.
18:28She said it was the pain.
18:31The pain.
18:49If you see Frankie, will you tell her it's over?
18:51Don't run, Aaron. I'm sorry.
18:55Does Nicholson know about you two?
18:58No, he can't.
19:01At least I don't think he can.
19:03Where is she now?
19:04Well, she's in the house.
19:05But Nicholson won't let me in. He says he's got a patient.
19:07She's in the house with the Doctor?
19:09Yes.
19:10Right.
19:11Well, I'm coming too.
19:18Where's Moira, Doctor?
19:19You're the running chauffeur.
19:20I'm not a chauffeur.
19:21Where is she, Alec?
19:22I have a patient here in a very delicate state.
19:24This is the first time she has spoken in three months.
19:27Any sudden noise, any noise at all, any shock at all,
19:30and all of my work with her will be absolutely wasted,
19:32so just go away!
19:33Go away now, please, very quietly.
19:35Now, please.
19:36If you don't...
19:37Don't lose your temper with me, Alec.
19:39I'm not losing my bloody temper!
19:47Right, come on.
19:58Commander.
19:59Ah!
20:00The chauffeur detective.
20:01I am not...
20:02You've got to listen to this, Peters.
20:03I don't think so, sir.
20:04I'm in charge of this investigation now.
20:06If you care to follow me, please.
20:09Ah, Miss Marple.
20:10Just in time.
20:14I am now able to reveal that a substance
20:16of an highly alien and toxic nature
20:19has been located in Mr Evans' bloodstream,
20:22deadly snake venom.
20:25You'd like to make your mark, wouldn't you, young man?
20:28For once in your lonely, cloistered life,
20:30make a name for yourself.
20:32I know.
20:33How about extracting the venom from a Malayan pit viper
20:37and poisoning a lonely old flower lover?
20:40Commander, you don't seem to realise...
20:41Quiet, please, sir!
20:44That'd make a splash of the old lady, wouldn't it?
20:47The snake murderer of Castle Savage.
20:50The black cap.
20:52The March to the Scaffold.
20:54You could join the gallery of famous murderers, couldn't you, sir?
20:57Please, Commander!
20:58Frankie! Miss Marple!
21:00He didn't do it! He didn't!
21:02Tell them, Tom!
21:03I know he didn't!
21:05Then who was it, then?
21:07Was it you, Miss?
21:08No, it wasn't me!
21:10I know it wasn't.
21:12It wasn't Tom, either.
21:14Because I happen to know that extracting snake venom
21:17of a highly venomous snake
21:19requires certain implements and professional expertise.
21:23That's what we've been trying...
21:24Will you let me please finish?! Thank you, sir!
21:29Now, one final question, young man.
21:38How did you first come by this highly venomous snake?
21:41It was a gift.
21:42Who from, sir?
21:43From Dr Nicholson.
21:50Well, that's what I was trying to...
21:56I wasn't in the flying squad for 40 years for nothing, Miss Marple.
22:00I can see that, Commander.
22:12She could be in bloody Timbuktu, for all I know!
22:15Where is she?
22:16Oh, just go away!
22:19God!
22:20Bobby!
22:22Moira!
22:23Moira!
22:24Moira, are you there?
22:26Where are you?
22:28Mrs Nicholson!
22:36Mrs Nicholson!
22:49Eric Mayhew Nicholson,
22:51I'm arresting you on suspicion of murdering Claude Arthur Evans.
22:58It can't be him!
22:59It wasn't him!
23:01It wasn't...
23:08Tom, I need to see the will.
23:10The one Mr Carpenter gave me.
23:12The will?
23:13Yes.
23:14Tom, I need to see the will.
23:17The one Mr Carstairs gave you.
23:19I said he'd come back, but he didn't.
23:22Yes, I know.
23:23There's something wrong with it, isn't there?
23:25That's why he told you to keep it.
23:45Thank you, Tom.
23:51Last will and testament.
23:52He changed it.
23:53He left everything to a bloody orphanage.
23:55He hated children.
23:56Why a bloody orphanage in China?
23:58And the day before he died.
24:00That's not his solicitor.
24:01Manning was his solicitor.
24:03And Mr Snape?
24:04Who were the witnesses?
24:05G. Sparks, T. Wilkins?
24:08Never heard of them.
24:09Never heard of them.
24:11G. Sparks, T. Wilkins?
24:13Never heard of them.
24:15Didn't want Dorothy and me witnessing anything, obviously.
24:17That's why he sent us away.
24:18To the Isle of Wight, wasn't it?
24:20Could have asked Flory.
24:22Why didn't they ask her?
24:24Flory?
24:25The nursemaid, she could have witnessed it.
24:27Flory didn't go with you.
24:29Had to stay here to give him his heart drugs.
24:32He just wanted to latch over her.
24:34Well, poor Flory.
24:37Lord Jack fired the gardeners when you were away on the Isle of Wight.
24:40You came home to new gardeners.
24:42Mr Sparks and Mr Wilkins.
24:44Is that right?
24:46Yes, that's right.
24:47And Lord Jack already dead?
24:50Yes.
24:51One more question, Mr Wilson, please.
24:54How were you informed of your trip to the Ryde Hotel?
24:58A scribbled note, as usual.
25:00Saying that everything was arranged.
25:02And to get everybody out of his sight.
25:04That's how he did things.
25:07Not like his brother, Lord George.
25:10I don't recall.
25:12I think you do.
25:14They were different times, weren't they?
25:16What did you call them?
25:18A time of enchantment.
25:20Music of laughter.
25:23Music of music.
25:36That's what George brought to her life, wasn't it?
25:40When they married.
25:44And then Brother Jack walked in.
25:48It is one of the great human mysteries.
25:51Why we are so prepared to destroy all that is good and decent.
25:55All for a pair of dark eyes.
25:59Then the world intruded, didn't it, Lady Savage?
26:03China.
26:05China.
26:13Jack.
26:15Jack.
26:17And the rules no longer applied.
26:22You can't protect her now, Mr Wilson.
26:24From the memories.
26:26They're all coming back, aren't they, my dear?
26:32You knew, didn't you?
26:34Knew Jack had his brother murdered.
26:37But it was too much to bear, wasn't it?
26:41You knew you had lost the man who really loved you.
26:45Knew it in your soul.
26:49You thought you could forget, didn't you?
26:51Forget.
26:53So much to forget.
26:55Please.
26:56Is that why you couldn't love your children?
26:59Because you couldn't forget?
27:01Because of the grief?
27:03Is that why you could never be a real mother to them?
27:07They're like orphans, aren't they?
27:09No, please.
27:11Miss Marple, I beg you.
27:13Your heart goes out to them, doesn't it, Wilson?
27:16To poor Tom and Dorothy.
27:18Is it them?
27:20Is it Wilson?
27:22Or is it...
27:37I don't know.
28:00Are you OK?
28:02Yes.
28:07Well, I just wanted to say...
28:09What?
28:10She's gone now.
28:12Out of my life.
28:14Lucky you.
28:17Can I...?
28:24Frankie.
28:27What?
28:30Wait for me.
28:33Hmm?
28:36There's just one thing I've got to do first.
28:39It's Sylvia's birthday, actually.
28:42Tomorrow.
28:45I feel like I've got to go, really.
28:47After...
28:49Oh, you know everything she's been through.
28:53Then I'll be free.
28:56And then we can be together.
29:03Moira.
29:05My poor darling.
29:07I had no idea about Alex.
29:09So dreadful.
29:11Thank goodness for this young man.
29:14Yes, thank goodness.
29:16You're going away?
29:18To France, yes.
29:19But it's your birthday tomorrow.
29:21I'd rather forget about it anyway.
29:23We always do your birthday.
29:25Oh, little face.
29:27Don't worry about my life.
29:29You've got your own back now.
29:31Haven't you?
29:33I hope so.
29:46Just...
29:48Well...
29:50Wanted to thank you.
29:53Oh.
29:55Well...
29:56Don't forget me.
30:01I love you.
30:31I love you.
31:10Flat as well?
31:12Both flat.
31:26You were right about the doctor.
31:29We boasted all the work.
31:33You make it up with Roger?
31:36He's asked me to wait.
31:38Wait?
31:39Till after Sylvia's birthday.
31:43I wouldn't ask you to wait.
31:47Wouldn't you?
31:51Anyway, good luck.
31:53Thanks.
31:56Good luck with Moira.
31:58Thanks.
32:03What?
32:04She mentioned it too.
32:06Who?
32:07Moira.
32:08Mentioned what?
32:09Sylvia's birthday.
32:23Hello?
32:25Who's that?
32:29Oh.
32:31Moira, thank goodness.
32:33Hello, darling.
32:35We've come to celebrate.
32:38But it's not my birthday till tomorrow.
32:42Still don't know who we are, do you?
32:49My God.
32:52Please.
32:54Mummy.
32:56Mummy.
32:58Mummy.
33:00Mummy.
33:02Mummy.
33:04Mummy.
33:06We left us for dead, you and dear Uncle Jack.
33:09Is it all coming back?
33:11Hello, Mummy.
33:13It's Alice and Michael, darling.
33:15You've come home.
33:22Michael was luckier than me.
33:24Found a nice English family.
33:26They put him in a home.
33:28I wasn't so fortunate.
33:30Had to stay to entertain the soldiers.
33:33Do you know what they made her do?
33:35Do you have any idea?
33:37Do you have any idea?
33:52No.
33:59Not quite what you're used to, I'm afraid.
34:03This is mixed with a little snake venom.
34:06The snake I got Alec to give Tom for his birthday.
34:22Michael.
34:29Wilson!
34:31I heard every word, Miss Alice.
34:33Put it down, please.
34:37Well, we're all here.
34:40Why didn't you go? I let you go.
34:42I did mean it, Frankie. I do mean it.
34:44Everything I said, I really...
34:46Oh, shut up, Michael.
34:49She's a split second from the needle.
34:53Put the gun down, Charles.
35:03Well, that was a waste of time, wasn't it?
35:06Are we ready?
35:08Then I'll begin, Michael.
35:11Is that all you're going to do, dear?
35:13Just kill her?
35:15Don't you want her to know how you did it?
35:17How you've exquisitely planned this moment for so many years.
35:21I'm sure once the venom enters her bloodstream,
35:24she'll be in far too much agony to take much of it in.
35:27You seem to know all about it, Miss Marple.
35:29I just observed, dear.
35:31Then perhaps you tell us what you've observed,
35:33and I'll tell you if you're right.
35:35Would you mind putting the needle down?
35:38Please, the sight of a needle really makes me quite giddy.
35:41Still dread the dentist.
35:43Still dread the dentist. Always have to answer to card.
35:46If you wouldn't mind.
35:48Thank you so much.
35:50Well, um, for a start,
35:53he had no idea, had he, Dr Nicholson,
35:56that he was passing on such fatal knowledge.
35:59I always like answering girls' questions.
36:02It makes them feel superior.
36:04How the venom of the Malay pit viper, for example,
36:07can replicate the symptoms of a critical cardiac anemia.
36:11Isn't that what it's called?
36:13Poor Jack.
36:15He must have been beside himself with joy that evening
36:18when you dropped round to say you'd changed your mind about his offer.
36:23Jack.
36:34Jack.
36:37Poisoning Jack was, one could say, child's play.
36:41But now the real drama began.
36:44Your next job was to disguise yourself, wasn't it, Roger?
36:48Michael.
36:50I'm so sorry. Michael.
36:52So good at mimicry and disguises.
36:54I'm sure you made an excellent Mr Trent
36:57at the inquest of your cousin, Mr Carstairs.
37:00You really should have been an actor.
37:03Oh, and an excellent forger, too.
37:06I mean, such as suicide notes.
37:09And the note to Mr Wilson
37:12telling him to take Lady Savage and the family to the Isle of Wight.
37:16And the note to Flory, the nursemaid,
37:19telling her to take the afternoon off.
37:21Oh, and by the way, would she send up the gardeners before she went?
37:25That is, the new gardeners.
37:27Of course, the old ones had been fired, hadn't they?
37:30They were needed to witness a will.
37:33Lord Jack Savage's new will.
37:36Am I right so far?
37:38Go on.
37:39So then a solicitor arrived.
37:42Not the usual solicitor, no.
37:44A new solicitor, a Mr Snape.
37:47Who let them in, I wonder,
37:49the new solicitor and the new gardeners?
37:53Well, it should have been Flory, of course,
37:55because she was the one person left in the house.
37:58But she'd been given the afternoon off,
38:00so clearly a brand-new nursemaid let them in.
38:16And the reason why nobody who knew him could be there
38:19was because the Jack that Roger created
38:22had just made a rather drastic change to his will.
38:29Oh.
38:36Not that the new gardeners would have cared.
38:39They hadn't even bothered to wash their hands.
38:44Jack's money was left at the Huanghou Orphanage in Shanghai.
38:50You won't see a penny, will you, Lady Savage,
38:52but that's all right, isn't it?
38:55It's a small price to pay.
38:57A foul, filthy money.
39:01I was happy he was leaving it to the little lost children of China.
39:07I want all the children in all the world to have all the money.
39:13I want all the children in all the world
39:19to smile
39:22and take away this pain.
39:24You think that gets you off the hook?
39:26You think that you're pathetic guilt?
39:28Sorry, I hadn't quite finished.
39:30May I? The story?
39:32The moment it all changes.
39:34What do they call it? The twist?
39:36Go on!
39:37Well, it was all going so well, wasn't it?
39:40You killed Jack, organised the money.
39:42Now all that was left was to prepare for this final moment.
39:47And then, oh, dear,
39:49Mr Carstairs arrived, Jack's old compadre.
39:52You hadn't reckoned with him, had you?
39:56I can't believe that any of you have taken this work seriously.
39:59Sylvia, are you going to contest the will?
40:02He knew something was wrong.
40:05He travelled all the way from China to investigate.
40:08And he wouldn't let it go, like a terrier, our Mr Carstairs.
40:12So many questions.
40:15But I showed him the will.
40:17I wouldn't get a penny.
40:20I told him I didn't care.
40:22Give it to the orphanage.
40:27Give it to the children.
40:31But he did care.
40:34He knew it was a forgery because he knew Jack.
40:37Oh, he was close, so very close,
40:40when he went on that last fatal journey.
40:49But you never thought to ask why he was there, did you?
40:53So why was he there?
40:55He was looking for Evans, of course.
40:57Evans was here?
40:58Oh, yes, yes, indeed. Claude Evans was here.
41:01You killed him to frame him, poor man.
41:05But there's another Evans, you see.
41:07You still don't know that, do you?
41:09What other Evans?
41:11He was so close.
41:13He just couldn't answer that final question.
41:16Why?
41:17Why?
41:18Why?
41:24Why didn't they ask Evans?
41:28Why didn't they ask Evans what?
41:30To witness the will, of course.
41:32Why go to all that trouble of sacking and hiring and impersonating
41:36when all they had to do was ask Evans?
41:39What Evans? Who's this man, Evans?
41:42Ah, you see, now, that's the mistake.
41:46It's such an easy thing to do.
41:48Assuming Evans was a man,
41:51whereas all along it was a woman.
41:54A young woman.
41:55A nursemaid, in fact.
41:57Flory Evans.
41:59So why couldn't they ask her, Miss Marple?
42:01Because, my dear, she would have recognised Roger instantly.
42:05But they needed her there.
42:07She had to be there to discover Jack.
42:10To witness the sudden onset of his so-called illness.
42:16Darling.
42:19Do it.
42:22Go on.
42:24Do it, please.
42:26No.
42:28No.
42:29I want to die.
42:31Do it, darling.
42:32Oh, I know.
42:35Let me have it. Give it to me.
42:38And we'll do it. Wilson and I will do it.
42:41Won't we, Wilson? Wilson's very good.
42:43Plenty of practice.
42:45For God's sake, get on with it.
42:47Get it over with.
42:49Go on.
42:50Myra.
42:51Alice! I'm Alice!
42:57Coco, do something!
42:59Do something! Do something!
43:02Get the gun!
43:15Oh.
43:38I'm so sorry, Miss Alice.
43:45I'm so sorry.
44:16What I still don't get is, why was Carstairs looking for Evans here?
44:19Oh, hadn't I explained that bit?
44:22I'm so sorry.
44:24Mrs Roberts?
44:26More cake, is it?
44:28May one call you Flory?
44:31Florence, actually, madam.
44:34Florence.
44:36Florence.
44:38Florence.
44:40Florence.
44:42Florence, actually, madam.
44:44Flory was my last job.
44:46When you were Evans?
44:48That's right. Yes, madam.
44:50Nursemaid to Sir Jack Savage?
44:52Yes, I was.
44:54Not wishing to speak ill of the dead.
44:56Randy bugger, if you take my meaning.
44:59Quite. But you're happy now?
45:01Oh, yes, indeed.
45:03Married to Mr Roberts now.
45:05Treats me like the ruddy Princess Margaret,
45:07if you pardon my French.
45:09That's all you can ask, isn't it?
45:11Someone who treats you right.
45:13Like there's diamonds on your soles.
45:18Lady Darwin, what an honour.
45:21Roberts, this is not the correct China.
45:23It's not Roberts, Mother.
45:25It's Florence.
45:26I beg your pardon?
45:30Cliff Walk, anyone?
45:41Cliff Walk, anyone?
46:11Cliff Walk, anyone?
46:12Cliff Walk, anyone?
