00:00Welcome to the chilling world of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, a timeless mystery where ten strangers are trapped on a remote island, and one by one, they die.
00:11Let's uncover the secrets behind this masterpiece.
00:14The sea was restless that day, its waves gnawing at the jagged rocks of Soldier Island.
00:21Ten strangers, each with a different life, a different secret, boarded separate trains and boats, bound for this isolated place off the coast of Devon.
00:31None of them knew each other. None of them knew why they had been chosen.
00:36All they knew was that a mysterious host, someone they had never met, had invited them for a weekend retreat.
00:43There was Justice Lawrence Wargrave, a retired judge with sharp eyes and a sharper tongue.
00:50Vera Claythorne, a young and capable governess haunted by a shadow from her past.
00:56Philip Lombard, a charming soldier of fortune with a pistol tucked away.
01:01Emily Brent, stern and unyielding, clinging to a rigid moral code.
01:07General MacArthur, a war veteran with secrets buried deep.
01:12Dr. Armstrong, a successful physician, precise and nervous.
01:16Anthony Marston, a wealthy young man addicted to speed and thrill.
01:22Mr. and Mrs. Rogers, the quiet house servants, their eyes betraying in unspoken fear.
01:29The island awaited them, a lonely mansion surrounded by cliffs, with no neighbors, no escape.
01:36Inside the grand dining room, a framed nursery rhyme hung on the wall.
01:40Its title, Ten Little Soldiers.
01:44Beneath it, ten small soldier figurines stood on the table.
01:49That night, as the guests settled in, a strange voice echoed through the room.
01:54It came from a hidden gramophone, accusing each person of murder.
01:59Not the kind of murder that lands you in court, these were crimes hidden in the past, where the law could not reach.
02:05One by one, the accusations landed, and the atmosphere turned heavy.
02:12At first, everyone denied it.
02:15They laughed it off, insisted it was a mistake, or claimed their actions had been justified.
02:21But behind their eyes, fear began to bloom.
02:25The storm outside was growing.
02:28No boats would come tonight.
02:30Then it happened.
02:31Anthony Marston, young, reckless, and unafraid, raised a glass of whiskey.
02:39In a single swallow, he choked, gasped, and fell dead.
02:44Cyanide.
02:46The guests stared in disbelief.
02:49Someone on this island was a killer.
02:52In the silence that followed, they noticed something strange.
02:56One of the ten soldier figurines on the table, was gone.
03:00And so, the game began.
03:03The storm raged through the night, sealing the mansion off from the world.
03:09Fear crept in like a cold draft, chilling every soul on Soldier Island.
03:14After Anthony Marston's shocking death, the guests could no longer deny the truth, someone among them was a murderer.
03:22The next morning brought another blow.
03:24Mrs. Rogers, the timid housemaid, never woke from her sleep.
03:30The doctor said it was heart failure, but the unease in the room said otherwise.
03:36Quietly, someone glanced at the dining table, another soldier figurine was missing.
03:42Two down.
03:44Panic whispered through the halls.
03:46Some tried to leave, but the violent sea slammed any hope of escape against the rocks.
03:51The guests began to suspect each other.
03:56Old sins were dragged into the light.
03:59Every smile hit suspicion.
04:02Every shadow looked like a threat.
04:04Then, General MacArthur was found sitting by the shore, staring out at the endless waves, a strange calm on his face, and a fatal blow to the back of his head.
04:15He had been waiting for death, and it had come.
04:19Nine little soldiers left.
04:20The survivors gathered, accusing, arguing, locking doors at night.
04:27Yet still, the killer moved freely.
04:30Mr. Rogers was next, an axe to the head while chopping firewood at dawn.
04:36Eight.
04:37Emily Brent, proud and unyielding, dismissed the fear.
04:42But one morning, they found her slumped in a chair, a syringe mark in her neck.
04:48Seven.
04:48The rhyme on the wall seemed to be guiding the murders.
04:53Each death mirrored a verse, and the figurines kept disappearing.
04:58Now paranoia ruled the island.
05:01Dr. Armstrong vanished into the storm one night, his body later washed ashore.
05:07Six became five.
05:09Then, in a desperate bid for safety, Bloor searched the grounds alone.
05:15A heavy marble bear-shaped clock fell from a window above, crushing him.
05:20Four.
05:21In the final hours, only Vera Claythorne, Philip Lombard, and Justice Wargrave remained.
05:29Vera, shaking but determined, took Lombard's revolver and shot him, convinced he was the killer.
05:36Three soldiers became two, then one.
05:40Vera returned to her room, exhaustion settling over her.
05:43On the wall, the last line of the rhyme echoed in her mind, and then there were none.
05:50She found a noose waiting.
05:53Her guilt over the child she once let drown pulled her toward it.
05:57Slowly, she stepped onto the chair, placed the rope around her neck, and kicked it away.
06:02When the police finally reached the island days later, they found the house empty.
06:09Ten bodies.
06:11Ten crimes avenged.
06:13No killer in sight.
06:15It was only later, in a bottle sealed and thrown into the sea, that the truth came to light.
06:22Justice Wargrave, terminally ill, obsessed with delivering justice, had orchestrated everything.
06:28He had lured each guest with false pretenses, judged them guilty, and executed them according to the rhyme.
06:36In the end, he staged his own death, then killed Vera in such a way that she appeared to have taken her own life.
06:44The final act was his own suicide.
06:47No one escaped Soldier Island.
06:50The game was perfect.
06:52And then, there were none.
