00:00I'll see you next time.
01:30No sign of them yet.
01:43We just lost sight of the Prime Minister's car for two minutes.
01:46No, 20 seconds.
01:48There was a bend in the road, just this side of Datchet.
01:52Yes.
01:52No, nobody knows at all.
01:57We've kept it quiet.
02:02Of course we searched.
02:05Eventually we came on here.
02:06What else could we have done?
02:12Wait a minute.
02:14Here's the Prime Minister's car now.
02:15I'll call you back.
02:16Call the Yard.
02:40Tell him he's safe, then report back to me.
02:41We expected you an hour ago, sir.
02:47What happened?
02:48I'm quite all right.
02:50Commander Daniels will tell you about it.
02:52I have to get some rest.
02:54Good night, sir.
02:55Someone tried to hijack us.
03:04Probably only lost sight of you for a few seconds.
03:06No, they got it all worked out.
03:08Diverted us down a leg.
03:09Gang of thugs waiting.
03:10If it hadn't been for Egan there, I don't know what would have happened.
03:14What did happen?
03:16One or two of them had guns.
03:17They were right across the road.
03:19As soon as Egan saw them, he just put his foot down on the accelerator,
03:22drove straight at them, and they had to jump for it, I can tell you.
03:25Well done, Egan.
03:25Thank you, sir.
03:27Unfortunately, one of them let his gun off at us as we passed.
03:31The bullet just grazed the Prime Minister's cheek.
03:33Good God.
03:34It's all right.
03:35I got it bandaged at the hospital.
03:37Well done, Commander Daniels.
03:39Well done.
03:40I wonder what they can have been after these ruffians, Hastings.
03:57Who can they have been?
03:58Well, it doesn't say.
04:00It just calls them ruffians.
04:02In the next paragraph, it says thugs.
04:05Another half inch on the waist, Monsieur Poirot.
04:08No, no, no, no, Monsieur Fingler.
04:11I am exactly the same size as I was last year.
04:13It is your equipment that is at fault.
04:15My equipment is at fault.
04:17A person could go crazy.
04:22Every year, he tells me, my tape shrinks, shrinks.
04:27Continue, Hastings.
04:28No, no, that's all there is.
04:30You want to try Savile Row?
04:32Try Savile Row.
04:33I train those boys.
04:37Finish.
04:38The first fitting Wednesday.
04:40And then we shall see if my equipment is faulty.
04:45Monsieur Fingler, shall I tell you something?
04:48Tell me, Monsieur Poirot.
04:49Tell me I'm on spiltjes.
04:51You must learn not to quench.
04:54I quench?
04:55Hey, clear off!
05:08I don't know why you don't go to Savile Row, Poirot.
05:23Monsieur Fingler is an artist, Hastings.
05:27But like all artists, he must be treated with a firm hand.
05:39No, no, Hastings, one cannot take this as a serious attempt at assassination.
05:45A bunch of ruffians?
05:47Charged shot with a revolver?
05:49No, no.
05:49Man and me, this is me on frontilage.
05:51A gentleman called while you were out, Mr. Poirot.
05:55Well, thank you, Miss Lemon.
05:58Oh, Sir Bernard Dodge?
06:00Hastings, this is indeed an honour.
06:01Is it?
06:02Oh, yes, Sir Bernard Dodge.
06:03He is permanent undersecretary of state at the foreign office.
06:06He'd like you to call on him at twelve o'clock.
06:15Thank you, Miss Lemon.
06:17Oh, well.
06:32Oh, well.
06:37Let's go.
07:07Let's go.
07:37Monsieur Poirot, good of you to come.
07:42It is a pleasure to meet you, Sir Bernard.
07:45And you too, of course, Lord Estelle.
07:47Our business is absolutely secret, you understand?
07:50Well, the whole of England will know soon enough anyway.
07:52We simply have to move as quickly as possible.
07:54Very well.
07:56It concerns the Prime Minister.
07:58We are in a grave predicament.
08:01The injury, it is serious, then.
08:03No, no. Fortunately, that attempt failed.
08:05I wish I could say as much for the second attempt.
08:09There was a second attempt?
08:10Yes, but of a different nature.
08:13The Prime Minister has been kidnapped.
08:17Kidnapped?
08:20But how is this possible?
08:22If we knew that, we'd know everything.
08:25Yes, of course.
08:25You said just now, monsieur, the time is of the essence.
08:30The Prime Minister's absence from the League of Nations disarmament conference in Paris could be disastrous.
08:35His is the one voice that can unify Europe and perhaps stop Germany rearming.
08:40I see.
08:40But perhaps this kidnapping is a direct attempt to bring about this disastrous outcome.
08:46Exactly.
08:46There are people who want Germany to go on rear-arming.
08:49That is a possibility.
08:51He was on his way to Paris when it happened.
08:53And the conference is to be held when?
08:54Half, half stage tomorrow evening.
08:56Oh, yeah.
08:59It is now quarter past twelve.
09:01Thirty-two hours.
09:03And a quarter.
09:04Do not forget the quarter, monsieur.
09:09It may come in useful.
09:15The Prime Minister and his secretary crossed over to France in the early hours of this morning.
09:20An embassy car met them at Boulogne.
09:23They never arrived in Paris.
09:25And that was the last anyone saw of it or any of its occupants?
09:28It was a bogus embassy car.
09:30I must know everything, Subhanan.
09:35I must know also about this shooting affair.
09:45Last night, the Prime Minister, accompanied by Commander Daniels, one of his secretaries,
09:51motored down to Windsor for an audience with the King.
10:00This is the main road from Windsor to Dachet?
10:09Uh, that's right.
10:15The car of the Prime Minister is forced down that lane from this main road here, you say?
10:19Apparently so.
10:22How was it forced?
10:23We don't know.
10:25There was a barrier across the road.
10:26Did you receive this information from the Secretary of the Prime Minister?
10:31Commander Daniels, yes.
10:32Who is this Commander Daniels?
10:34Good man.
10:36Served with distinction in the Royal Navy.
10:38His father was a minister in Mr. Asquith's cabinet.
10:41Until they had a row over home rule.
10:45The car following the Prime Minister, the car containing the detectives,
10:49did they see this barrier?
10:50No, the road was clear by the time we arrived.
10:53Mr. McAdam is very impatient at any efforts to protect his person.
10:58The car carrying the plain-clothes detectives has to follow at a discreet distance.
11:03They lost sight of him.
11:04And that bend?
11:07Of course, the barrier could have been removed in seconds.
11:09The thugs are strung out across the road.
11:22The chauffeur sees them.
11:23He sees their guns.
11:24He accelerates towards them, scattering them.
11:28Yes.
11:29One of them fires his revolver.
11:31The bullet grazes the cheek of the Prime Minister.
11:34Yes.
11:34Just think.
11:38One of them is as good as runs a foreign office.
11:41The other one guards the Prime Minister.
11:44Why should England tremble, eh?
11:48There's a destroyer waiting at Dover, Monsieur Poirot, to take us to France.
11:52And this destroyer, it will wait for how long, Served Manor?
11:55Well, long as necessary, of course, but...
11:57Oh.
11:58Yes, I know.
12:03Well, it appears he takes his time, sir.
12:06Yes.
12:07Yes, I know, sir.
12:08Uh, we have done all this, you know, Poirot.
12:20No blood.
12:21No bullet hole.
12:24Does it not strike you as strange, Chief Inspector, that there is no bullet hole?
12:29Oh, but the bullet hit the Prime Minister.
12:31No, no, he stinks.
12:32The bullet grazed the Prime Minister.
12:35Why was there no bullet in the car, eh?
12:37Where did it go after he grazed his cheek?
12:41No, no.
12:42Mr. McAdam's head was outside the car when he was shot at.
12:46When the car slowed down, he looked out of the window to see what was wrong.
12:52Eh bien.
12:53The car is in a lane.
13:06The ruffians are barring the way.
13:09Mr. McAdam realizes that something is wrong.
13:13He opens the window.
13:14He puts his head out of the window to see what is happening.
13:25A shot that rings out.
13:38I don't know why we're wasting time on all this, Poirot.
13:41The attempt didn't succeed.
13:43The kidnapping did.
13:44And that was in France.
13:47Now look here, Poirot.
13:49The driver Egon, monsieur.
13:51Yes, sir.
13:52I want to speak with him.
13:56I spoke to him last night at Charing Cross.
13:59He is the only witness that we have, Chief Inspector.
14:02He's off till Thursday.
14:06His home address, if you please.
14:07He didn't come in at all last night.
14:24Wasn't I waiting up for him until after one o'clock in the morning?
14:27Is he usually regular in his habits?
14:30As clockwork.
14:31Is monsieur Egon a fellow countryman of yours, madame Denison?
14:42Sure, he's from County Clare, like myself.
14:45He was fortunate, indeed, to find such a comfortable abode
14:49and with such a charming landlady.
14:53How long has he lodged with you?
14:57Six months next Sunday, it is, sir.
14:59Mr. Egon keeps his address book in a place most convenient, huh?
15:29He has his own method, Sir Bernard.
15:34I don't want method.
15:35I want action.
15:37I've never known him to fail yet.
15:39The Prime Minister disappears.
15:42The Commander Daniels disappears.
15:43Monsieur Egon disappears.
15:46At any moment, I fully expect the entire cabinet to disappear.
16:11Time again.
16:124, 3, 2, 3, 2, 1, up!
16:22High for this!
16:23Great!
16:34All right, Guaran.
16:36Yes.
16:37Yes, mon ami.
16:40Yeah, it was a small hotel back there.
16:41It looked quite comfortable.
16:44But the ship's waiting for us.
16:46Ah.
16:57Where's he off to now?
16:58Well, I think he doesn't want to go on the destroyer.
17:01You know how seasick he gets.
17:03Seasick.
17:05I shall lose my pension if he carries on like this.
17:08When they suggested him, they asked my opinion.
17:11Oh, yes, I said.
17:12Just the man, I said.
17:15What is he doing?
17:38Hmm?
17:39He's thinking.
17:41Thinking?
17:42What on earth is he doing that for?
17:44Europe is in crisis.
17:47The one man who might avert a tragedy of a prime minister of this country has been kidlaped.
17:51We're not paying your Mr. Parole to think.
17:53Well...
17:54Be so good as to keep out of this, Chief Inspector.
17:56He's a detective.
17:57And we're paying him, and paying him handsomely, I may say, to detect...
17:59What do you expect him to do?
18:00God's teeth do I have to teach him his job?
18:01Blood stains, fingerprints.
18:02He's done all that.
18:03Well, I haven't seen him.
18:04I haven't seen him so much as look through a magnifying glass.
18:06Poirot is ready.
18:30Do you have that list I asked you for, Chief Inspector?
18:42Excellent.
18:43Back to the docks.
18:47Back to Dachet.
18:52Don't lose sight of him, Sergeant.
19:07We don't want anybody else getting kidnapped.
19:09Right, sir.
19:10He wasn't the one who went through that awful divorce last year, was he?
19:21Who wasn't Hastings?
19:23Miss Commander Daniels.
19:25Mrs. Daniels' counter suit was utterly malicious and without foundation.
19:29Ah, I remember.
19:30It was in the newspapers.
19:32It was all over the newspapers.
19:39Now what?
19:51I know what he's doing, I just don't know why he's doing it.
20:02Well, you're one up on me.
20:04I got him a list of all the hospitals between Dachet and London.
20:08He's trying to find out which one they took the Prime Minister to to get his face bandaged.
20:11Not this one.
20:12Not this one.
20:13Not this one.
20:14Not this one.
20:18Onwards, driver, if you please to Feldham.
20:25Yes, sir.
20:27Yes, sir.
20:28Onward, driver, if you please, to Feltham.
20:44Yes, sir.
20:58There's a cottage hospital marked here, Poirot,
21:27and it's a bit off the beaten path.
21:28And the driver was missing.
21:31Right.
21:32We can get back to Dover in an hour.
21:34We'll be in Boulogne by dawn.
21:45They found the car in France.
21:47The bogus embassy car?
21:48At an abandoned farmhouse near Crecy.
21:51Was there anyone inside the car?
21:53Commander Daniels.
21:54Bound and gagged, with a head injury
21:57from where they knocked him out.
21:58They flown him back to London.
21:59And no sign of the Prime Minister?
22:00Not even his body?
22:02No.
22:03Nothing.
22:04So I suggest that we now get over to France
22:06and join the search proper.
22:08It is strange, is it not, that having tried to shoot
22:10the Prime Minister last evening?
22:11They should not take so much trouble in order to keep him alive.
22:16Commander Daniels will appreciate some visitors, I think.
22:25The bank goes my pension.
22:39We've come to see Commander Daniels.
22:40Sir Bernard Dodge and some gentlemen to see you, Commander.
22:50Show them in, Shimon.
22:52Then take my bag and unpack him, will I?
22:54Yes, sir.
22:55Gentlemen, please.
22:59Good to see you, Daniels.
23:02Bad show of this.
23:03And I don't come out of it very well, I'm afraid, Sir Bernard.
23:07Nonsense, my dear chap.
23:08What could you do?
23:09You know Chief Inspector Jeppe, I believe.
23:11We met last night.
23:12And this is Mr. Hercule Poirot,
23:14and his colleague Captain Hastings.
23:16How do you do?
23:18We are full of the apologies, Commander,
23:20but this is a matter of the greatest importance.
23:22Of course. Sit down, please.
23:24If you would be kind enough, Commander,
23:38to tell us what happened when you arrived at Boulogne.
23:41Well, Mr. McAdam had managed to get some sleep on the crossing,
23:45but he was still shaken, I could tell.
23:48There was a staff car waiting for us on the quay.
23:51Tell me about the driver.
23:52I didn't take much notice of him. One doesn't, I'm afraid.
23:55Of course.
23:56We started off for Paris.
23:58We passed through Nampen-Saint-Martin,
24:00just as the sun was coming up. It's about six o'clock.
24:03And then?
24:05The last thing I remember was passing through Vrons.
24:08I looked at my watch. It was ten past six.
24:11Then nothing.
24:13Well, nothing until four hours later,
24:16when I woke up in the car in a spinny,
24:18very efficiently tied up and gagged.
24:21No sign of the Prime Minister.
24:23Or the driver.
24:24Or the driver.
24:25I managed to get the door open with my feet,
24:28but that's as far as I'd got when a little girl found me.
24:31I must have frightened the life out of her.
24:33Blood all over my face.
24:35Anyway, she got the local gendarme.
24:38So you remember nothing of the abduction?
24:41I'm afraid not.
24:43Well, this frequently happens, Commander,
24:47as a result of a trauma.
24:49But your memory, it will soon return.
24:54Now, if I may use your telephone?
24:56Yes, yes, of course.
25:13No, no, no.
25:14My friend, he will have retired for the night.
25:17Thank you, Commander Daniels.
25:19You have been most helpful.
25:21Well, I wouldn't say that.
25:23I am preparing the report, Sir Vernon.
25:26Good.
25:27Good show, Daniels.
25:30Ah, mon dieu, I shall forget my own funeral.
25:33Commander, what hospital did you go to?
25:35Hospital.
25:36To get the head of the Prime Minister bandaged?
25:39Oh, yes.
25:41I don't know the name of it.
25:43I was busy attending to Mr. McAdam.
25:45I told the driver to get us to a hospital,
25:47but I didn't pay much attention, I'm afraid,
25:49to where we were going.
25:50I understand.
25:52Good night.
25:55Good night, sir.
25:56Good night.
26:04Well, look here, Poirot.
26:05When we first met at noon today,
26:06I told you how urgent this matter was.
26:08It seems to me you've wasted some twelve hours
26:13meandering aimlessly about the countryside,
26:15a hundred miles from where the crime took place,
26:18talking to people who can have no possible connection with it.
26:21I understand your feelings, Sir Bernard.
26:23I doubt it.
26:24We've now wasted hours
26:26traveling back to London to talk to Commander Daniels,
26:29who, as I could have told you,
26:30was able to tell us precisely nothing.
26:32On the contrary, Sir Bernard.
26:34Now I have to report to Lord Astaire.
26:37What do you mean, on the contrary?
26:39Commander Daniels was able to tell me almost everything I needed to know.
26:42Chief Inspector, I wonder if you'd be kind enough to do something for me.
26:55If I can.
26:57I want you to check for me two things.
27:00The record of the driver Egan
27:02and the maiden name of the former Madame Daniels.
27:05Mrs. Daniels?
27:06What on earth can that woman have to do with anything?
27:08Now, look, this is exactly what I mean.
27:10We've dealt with Egan. Egan is old news.
27:13Perhaps.
27:14But you see, the kidnappers, they always had one flaw to their plan.
27:19They knew it and they did their best to conceal it.
27:22But their best is not good enough for Hercule Poirot, perhaps.
27:26Good night, Sir Bernard.
27:28Where are you going?
27:30To bed.
27:32You don't seem to realize, Poirot, this is a national emergency.
27:36I do not intend to sleep until the Prime Minister is found.
27:40I am sure it will make you feel very virtuous, Sir Bernard,
27:43but it will not help the Prime Minister.
27:45For myself, I need to restore the little grey cells.
27:50Chief Inspector.
27:53Chief Inspector.
27:58If Monsieur McAdam is still alive,
28:00he will be in Paris in time for the conference.
28:03He never left his country, you see.
28:23Chief Inspector.
28:24Chief Inspector.
28:45I shall go in alone, Hastings.
28:48You're sure about this, are you, Poirot?
28:50Quite sure.
28:52I'm here if you need me.
29:22Yes, who are you?
29:40Bonjour, madame Daniels.
29:45I am Hercule Poirot.
29:47The Belgian detective.
29:49What do you want with me?
29:56Madame, I saw your former husband last night.
30:01What a treat.
30:03If he sent you here, you can leave right away.
30:05No, no, no, no, madame.
30:07Commander Daniels has no idea that I am here.
30:11But he is in great trouble.
30:14Oh, how wonderful.
30:17The police suspect him of a grave crime.
30:20The police?
30:22Well, he hasn't murdered me.
30:24That's the only crime I can imagine Tony being interested in.
30:27No, madame, it is not murder.
30:30Not yet.
30:32You are being tiresomly mysterious.
30:39Commander Daniels had the means to commit a crime.
30:42He had the opportunity to commit a crime.
30:45But as yet, the police can find no motive for the crime.
30:49No, you know him better than anybody.
30:53Too well.
30:56Perhaps you can help them?
30:59I wish I could.
31:02Would he go to jail?
31:03God, I'd love to see him go to jail.
31:05You know what that bastard did to me.
31:07Only what I read in the newspapers, madame.
31:10Yes, and didn't they love it?
31:16Madame.
31:19How would you describe the politics of your ex-husband?
31:27Torpid.
31:28He never had a political thought in his life.
31:47How is Mrs. Daniels?
31:48Formidable.
31:49I would not wish to be her enemy, I think.
31:52You must take care, Hastings.
31:54How do you mean?
31:55I want you to wait here.
31:57When she comes out, I want you to follow her.
31:59Do not lose sight of her for one second.
32:05Telephone me when you can.
32:07Scotland Yard, if you please.
32:22No, sir.
32:23Well, it's not up to me, sir, is it?
32:28Well, yes.
32:30Well, I thought he was just the man for the job.
32:33Come in.
32:37No, sir.
32:40Well, I couldn't agree with you there, sir.
32:42No, he's not slow, he's thorough.
32:50Yes, well, most of our men are already in France, sir.
32:54Guess who he was talking about.
33:07Modesty forbids, Chief Inspector.
33:10Little gray cells rested, are they?
33:13Indeed.
33:16Do you have the information I asked you for?
33:19Ah.
33:20Yes.
33:22Much good it will do you.
33:25John Patrick Egan, born Milltown County Clare 1901.
33:30Van driver for a removals firm until he came over to England a couple of years ago.
33:34Joined Ministry of Works as a driver mechanic six months later.
33:39Good reference as good worker.
33:41And Madame Dunyers?
33:46Maiden named Donoghue.
33:50Is that not also a name of Ireland?
33:53Well, sort of.
33:54She's the third daughter of the Earl of Connemara.
33:59I don't understand what you're after, Poirot.
34:04Chief Inspector.
34:06Did you ever read about the divorce of Commander Daniels?
34:09I should say I did.
34:11Very juicy.
34:15After such a divorce,
34:17having been dragged through the courts, humiliated in the newspapers,
34:20do you think the husband would keep on his desk a framed photograph of his ex-wife?
34:50How well do you know John Egan?
34:51John Egan.
34:52John Egan.
34:53He drove you and the Prime Minister to Windsor.
34:54Oh, Egan.
34:55He drove you and the Prime Minister to Windsor.
34:56Oh, Egan.
34:57Would know him.
34:58He's a driver.
34:59There are three or four on call for Downing Street.
35:00There are three or four on call for Downing Street.
35:01But you see, Commander,
35:02he has not been seen since he drove back the car to the country.
35:04Oh, Egan.
35:05Would know him.
35:06He's a driver.
35:07There are three or four on call for Downing Street.
35:08But you see, Commander,
35:09he has not been seen since he drove back the car to the country.
35:10Oh, Egan.
35:11You know him.
35:12He's a driver.
35:13There are three or four on call for Downing Street.
35:14He...
35:15He...
35:16He drove you and the Prime Minister to Windsor.
35:18Oh, Egan.
35:19I would know him.
35:20He's a driver.
35:21There are three or four on call for Downing Street.
35:25But you see, Commander,
35:26he has not been seen since he drove back the car to the garage that night.
35:31Really?
35:33He... he... he did not return to his lodgings.
35:39I'm sorry.
35:43To have disturbed your breakfast.
36:04Erin Gobra.
36:13It's a lawyer.
36:14He lives now.
36:16But you see, Rebecca.
36:17You make that pick of a man if it's in the little tree.
36:32That's going to be a new tree.
36:34He was a giant, man.
36:35He was pineapple.
36:37I...
36:38That took a huge amount of water into the lake.
36:40Let me take this.
36:41Again.
36:42All that we can do is to wait, Chief Inspector.
37:12Miss Lemon, has Captain Hastings telephoned yet?
37:15No, Mr. Poirot.
37:19Hello.
37:21This is all very fine and large, Poirot, but what if Mrs. Daniels doesn't leave?
37:27Or she will have left already, Chief Inspector.
37:30Or I am the Dutchman.
37:42I am the Dutchman.
38:12I am the Dutchman.
38:42Hello. Yes.
38:45Yes.
38:47Jap.
38:49Yes, Canwell. What's happening?
38:51They what?
38:53Thank you, Mr. Lim.
38:54Why?
38:55Oh.
38:57What time is this?
38:59Nothing since?
39:02Right.
39:02They've arrested a vagrant in some unpronounceable village.
39:10A vagrant?
39:11Suspected of abducting the Prime Minister?
39:14When in doubt, arrest a vagrant.
39:17They'll let him go again.
39:18There aren't.
39:24I don't know.
39:25It's also been a verb.
39:26No.
39:27Let not go again.
39:29I'mánh because.
39:31What?
39:33What?
39:33I love you.
41:03Where are you?
41:04Between Basingstoke and Andover.
41:07Let me get a map, these things.
41:08The map, if you please, Miss Lemon.
41:10Between Basingstoke and Andover.
41:12She turned off the main road,
41:14and we went through a village called Spratling.
41:16She must have seen me just after that.
41:19I wonder if the Daniels have any local connection, these things.
41:22Go back to the village
41:23and ask if Commander Daniels has a house in the neighborhood.
41:26Oh, you could try in the name of Donoghue.
41:28Yeah, but that is the maiden name of Madame Daniels,
41:30Lady Imogen Donoghue.
41:33Yes, Hestings, and call me back when you have done that.
41:35Goodbye.
41:37I'll get on to the yard.
41:38Tell them to contact the Basingstoke police.
41:40She's the daughter of the Earl of Connemara, isn't she?
41:43You English, you are all experts in the aristocracy.
41:45No, only it was in the papers a year ago.
41:47No, nearly two years ago.
41:49What was Miss Lemon?
41:50There was a big fire.
41:51I can see the headline now.
41:53Earl's mansion destroyed.
41:55There was a picture of him.
41:56Fine-looking man, Mr. Poirot.
41:58With that, I have no doubt, Miss Lemon.
42:00But where was the house?
42:02It was in Berkshire.
42:05Good, good.
42:06It was in...
42:07Try Miss Lemon.
42:09It was called Something Hall in a village called...
42:14We can find that out.
42:16Er, Kentwell, can you find out the name of the house
42:19that belonged to the Earl of Connemara
42:21that burnt down a couple of years ago?
42:23Oh, the hall was the same name as the village.
42:26It was a name like Batley.
42:30Batley?
42:30Like Batley.
42:32Oh.
42:35Ketley?
42:37Betley?
42:39Fatley?
42:40Gatley?
42:42Hatley?
42:43Somerscote Hall?
42:45Yes.
42:51Tell that to Captain Hastings when he telephones.
42:59I hope this isn't a wild goose chase, Poirot.
43:02No, no, no, mon ami.
43:03The only wild goose chase they intended us to be on
43:06was in France.
43:07And they have been planning this for years.
43:10It was only when they could get somebody sympathetic
43:12to their cause into the position of one of the drivers
43:14of the Prime Minister was the abduction possible.
43:17But what is their cause?
43:19German rearmament?
43:22Indirectly.
43:23There is a strong element in Ireland that does not care
43:25if Germany rearms so long as it causes hurt for England.
43:28But how did Daniels get involved?
43:31I understand about his wife.
43:32It seems she was always a bit of a rebel.
43:34But the father of Commander Daniels was
43:36violently opposed to Lord Asquist
43:38in the 1914 Irish Home Rule Bill.
43:42Well, that was the end of his career in politics.
43:43I think that he has fasted inside
43:46the Commander Daniels all of his life.
43:48He did not take so much persuading.
43:52Just a few hours more.
43:54In four hours they'll have voted in Paris
43:56and it'll be too late for the Prime Minister
43:58to do a thing about it.
44:00Anyway, what's it got to do with Britain
44:02if Germany rearms?
44:03We're just coming into Somerscoat now, sir.
44:11Right.
44:12There's a turning on the left
44:13just on the other side of the village.
44:14Sir.
44:23I thought this place was Somerscoat, not the salt.
44:33All right, let's keep the noise down.
44:35They're all ready.
44:36Very well, Richard.
44:37Thank you, sir.
44:44There you are.
44:46Lift.
44:46It's yours.
44:49I'm sure I heard something.
44:52Maybe it's your husband.
44:57No, it must have been the wind.
45:03From here we can see everything.
45:14It seems I may owe you an apology, Monsieur Poirot.
45:17No, no, Sir Bernard.
45:18You were cleverly misled.
45:21How did you get onto it?
45:23Whenever the occasion arises, Sir Bernard,
45:25to look into someone's address book,
45:26always first look under the letter X
45:29because that is where the secrets are kept.
45:31In the address book of Monsieur Egan,
45:34which I found under his pillow,
45:36under the letter X,
45:38there was only one number.
45:40No name, just X.
45:43It was a Mayfell number,
45:45which I thought strange.
45:47But when I pretended to use the telephone
45:48of Commander Daniels,
45:50I noticed that his number
45:51was the same as that in the address book.
45:55Oh, no.
45:57My friend, he will have retired for the night.
45:59An interesting connection, n'est-ce pas?
46:03Excuse me, sir.
46:12All in, please, now.
46:15Go easy, Major.
46:30We don't want anybody getting hurt.
46:32What's that?
46:50There is somebody out there.
46:51What is all this, Daniels?
46:52Have you gone mad?
46:53Let me go to Imogen.
46:55You're a traitor, Daniels.
46:56A disgrace.
46:57Let me go to Imogen.
46:59Come on.
47:00Come on.
47:01Come on.
47:02Come on.
47:03Come on.
47:04Come on.
47:05Come on.
47:06Come on.
47:07Come on.
47:08Come on.
47:09Come on.
47:10Come on.
47:11Come on.
47:12Come on.
47:13We caught him trying to get through the cordon.
47:16What is all this, Daniels?
47:18Have you gone mad?
47:20Let me go to Imogen.
47:21You're a traitor, Daniels.
47:23A disgrace.
47:24Let me go to Imogen.
47:27Police.
47:28Police everywhere.
47:29And soldiers.
47:30They've sent the army out for us.
47:36Jack.
47:37I'm not going.
47:38But you must.
47:39Ireland created a version for you.
47:41Come out.
47:42One by one.
47:44With your hands in the air.
47:47What'll you do?
47:49There's no way out.
47:51I don't know.
47:52Give yourself up.
47:53Perhaps there's still useful things I can do for Ireland.
47:56You don't stand a chance!
47:58Give me the gun.
48:01Come on.
48:02It'll be worse if they take you with it.
48:08Good luck.
48:09I'm going to count to five!
48:19One!
48:22Two!
48:24Three!
48:27Four!
48:30Five!
48:31One, two!
48:33One.
48:34One, two.
48:35Two!
48:36Two!
48:37Two!
48:38Three!
48:39Two!
48:40One, two!
48:41Uma.
48:42Two, three!
48:44One, two!
48:45Two, three.
48:46Two!
48:48One, two!
48:49Three!
48:51Two!
48:53Three!
48:54Five!
48:55Four!
48:56Two!
48:57Five!
48:58Yes, Bearing Cobra, Ireland forever.
49:13Sir, there's the prime minister.
49:15God help him.
49:28The only thing I don't understand is how you knew it was a doppel they sent to France.
49:41When I ascertained that the net result of the supposed assassination attempt
49:45was that the prime minister went to France with his face bound up,
49:49it was then that I began to comprehend.
49:53But the man who impersonated the prime minister was seen by everyone.
49:57No, no, he's tingled.
49:59He was not seen by anyone who knew him intimately.
50:03And with his face bandaged?
50:06But now, my name is a far more difficult case.
50:10A fitting witness, your finger.
50:11Hello.
50:26So that Daniels' divorce was just a smokescreen?
50:30The purest theater, Hastings.
50:32To ensure that the last thing anyone could suspect was collusion between those two.
50:35They loved each other, yes, but they were willing to sacrifice that and everything else for their cause.
50:44You know, Hastings, the worst kind of fanatic is the quiet, unobtrusive fanatic.
50:49And the worst kind of customer is the customer who can't keep still.
50:53Mr. Finger, this jacket, it is too tight.
50:59Oh, it is too tight, is it?
51:01Yes, I shall scarcely be able to pattern it up.
51:03Do you know why it is too tight?
51:06Because you made it too small.
51:07No, no, no, no, because you have grown too big.
51:10This jacket has been made by lastiest measurements.
51:14Now, are we having a fitting or what?
51:16A fitting by all means, Mr. Finger.
51:26A fitting by all means, Mr. Finger.
51:46into the resistor and a Witch.
51:57Is this not a card?
51:58Do you know why it is broken?
52:00No, no, no, no.
52:01The time being was blocked.
52:04If she goes beyond my Sweaty, she goes to the store.
52:07And the steel in the dimension, all means a virgin.
52:10Do you know why it was broken or止 hasta six?
52:14If it was more mớiścij可以!
