While Miss Marple and Mr Stringer are soliciting donations for a charity, they visit Mr Enderby, a rich and eccentric recluse. He tumbles down a staircase, apparently the victim of a fatal heart attack.

00:01:48I really don't think we'll be very welcome here, Miss Marple.
00:01:51I know Mr. Enderby's rich, but he's, well, rather eccentric, to say the least.
00:01:55He may close his door on the world, Mr. Stringer, but he must expect it to be knocked on sometimes.
00:02:01He's never been known to give anything away, not even to charity.
00:02:04Well, perhaps the poor man's never been given the chance.
00:02:07I really must be getting back to the library, Miss Marple.
00:02:10It's a very worthy cause, no doubt, but my employers...
00:02:13Surely you're entitled to your tea.
00:02:15Yes, but I, I haven't had it.
00:02:18Oh, but you shall.
00:02:20This'll be our last call.
00:02:22After that you must come back to my cottage.
00:02:24I've prepared a very special tea to reward us for our labor.
00:02:32Perhaps I'd better leave him to you, Miss Marple, if you don't mind.
00:02:35Now, pull yourself together. He can't eat us, can he?
00:02:38No, I suppose not.
00:02:41He must be out.
00:02:43You know he never goes anywhere.
00:02:55Mr. Enderby?
00:02:57Mr. Enderby?
00:03:12Don't be alarmed, Mr. Enderby. We've just...
00:03:23My goodness, what could have happened?
00:03:25How is he?
00:03:37Dead, I'm afraid.
00:03:44What is it?
00:03:45It's a piece of mud.
00:03:48From some recent visitor, apparently.
00:03:55Who still seems to be here.
00:03:59Stay with him.
00:04:01Miss Marple, you mustn't.
00:04:02Please be careful.
00:04:25Hey!
00:04:35What was it?
00:04:37A cat.
00:04:38But I thought...
00:04:39I thought he hated cats.
00:04:42He did.
00:04:43He was frightened to death, Arthur.
00:04:45Frightened to death?
00:04:55The affair.
00:04:57The affair.
00:04:58The affair.
00:05:07The affair.
00:05:09Only.
00:05:10The affair.
00:05:11Why, Miss Marple, this is an unexpected pleasure.
00:05:12Good morning, Inspector.
00:05:14Could I have a few words with you privately?
00:05:16privately well yes of course yeah do come in please here ah do sit down miss marple please
00:05:25now what can i do for you you're not here to tell me i've overlooked another crime by any chance
00:05:30well as a matter of fact i am a very grave crime one of murder oh no not again please this time
00:05:38there is no mistake inspector well you might as well get it over with who murdered who this time
00:05:44as to the murderer that will naturally require an investigation the victim is old mr enderby
00:05:52enderby what are you talking about he died of heart failure ah but what caused his heart to fail so
00:05:59unexpectedly i read the doctor's report miss marvel it was not unexpected it had a severe heart
00:06:05condition for many years exactly a very wealthy man with a chronic heart condition yes the
00:06:12circumstances are precisely the same i don't know what they're the same as but they don't add up to
00:06:20murder but surely inspector you have read agatha christie's remarkable novel the ninth life i'm afraid
00:06:28i haven't had the pleasure ah that's probably why you failed to make the connection agatha christie
00:06:34should be compulsory reading for the police force doom came to her victim in the shape of a cat oh now
00:06:40look miss marple enough is enough a wealthy old gentleman with a weak heart and a pathological
00:06:46horror of cats what easier than for some interested party to slip a cat into the house a cat that the
00:06:52old man will come upon unexpectedly yes old enderby was frightened to death a very ingenious theory
00:07:01but my advice to miss marvel is to read fewer thrillers a nice love story would be much more
00:07:07soothing am i to assume that you are not going to do anything about this nothing whatever you see
00:07:14i'm a policeman miss marvel i'm only interested in facts oh well then there is only one course open
00:07:21to me now wait a minute miss marvel no inspector i know my duty i shall have to investigate this myself
00:07:27good day you will hear from me again when my case is completed
00:07:43my pastry
00:07:55oh dear not one of my failures as you are thinking deliberate i assure you i cooked the piece of mud we
00:08:12found in old enderby's house and then filled the hole with plaster
00:08:18i see ingenious miss marvel it is rather isn't it now i'm bound to say it went against the grain to
00:08:32overcook my pastry a perfect match but what do you make of this the mark of a stirrup iron then it was mud
00:08:41from a riding boot yes and from a boot with a very distinctive scar on it that piece of fresh mud was
00:08:48stuck between the sole and heel of someone's riding boot someone who visited mr enderby just before he
00:08:54died the murderer you mean well we can hardly call him that since it hasn't been officially decided that
00:09:00he was murdered true but when inspector craddock has had time to consider your theory inspector craddock has
00:09:07assured me that that is exactly what he is not going to do no jim you and i must pursue this trail entirely on
00:09:16our own then where shall we begin we must find out who benefits by the death then we'll have to wait till
00:09:24the will is published in the newspapers not necessarily not necessarily
00:09:54that's a lot friend right tea's up i'll see you inside right
00:10:06fortune favors the brave i beg your pardon that's dray under the very window
00:10:13this calls for a certain amount of ingenuity we have to get up there what if anyone should see us we
00:10:27are effectively screened from the high street by the archway come along
00:10:30i fear we're taking a grave risk of seeming inquisitive a calculated one mr stringer on we go
00:10:52i trust something pity will be said after all this oh dear there we are and though it is with some regret
00:11:04that i finally satisfy the greed of my relatives i nevertheless do devise and bequeath that my entire
00:11:12estate be divided equally between my fourth cousin george crossfield in order that he no longer need
00:11:20to borrow from his clients funds my niece rosamund shane in order that she may support her husband
00:11:28in the style to which he would like to be accustomed to my nephew hector enderby in order that he may be
00:11:37able to afford to hunt every day rather than once a week thereby providing more opportunity for breaking his neck
00:11:46and finally my sister Cora Lanskine out of gratitude that she stayed out of the country for 30 years and didn't bother me
00:11:59the money to be given outright to all parties concerned with the hope that it will make them
00:12:06all as miserable as possible that is the important part as far as you're concerned i'm sure no mr trundle the
00:12:14important part is how much money am i going to get really george i don't think you should say things
00:12:18like that even if it's how you feel why not i want to know of course we all want to know well a rough
00:12:27estimate mind you very rough each of your shares should be about 20 25 000 pounds
00:12:36hector i don't think you should have used the word suddenly in the newspaper announcement of your
00:12:42uncle's death what do you mean on Cora well it might make people wonder but anyway it's all been
00:12:50hushed up very nicely hasn't it what are you talking about well after what he said when he came to see
00:12:57me last month it can't do any good making it public it should be kept strictly in the family
00:13:06my dear mrs lanscaday would you mind saying plainly what you mean by all this but he was murdered wasn't
00:13:13he what here the young corner this is a very silly thing to say
00:13:43good morning oh good morning inspector thank you miss marvel when i thought it was you i thought no
00:14:07no but it is allow me oh thank you miss marple you do realize if i didn't know you so well i would
00:14:18at this moment be detaining you for loitering with intent loitering with intent to what conceivably
00:14:25inspector to uh snoop snoop that is the word i used miss marple i'm sure everyone in multis is
00:14:33interested to know how much old enderby left and to who i suppose you wanted to be first
00:14:39well inspector since you are clearly alleging that i am a tittle-tattling busybody
00:14:44i will bid you good day come mr stringer
00:14:47miss marple don't you think you should go to the police tell inspector craddock what you overheard
00:15:05tittle-tattling busybody i believe were his words oh yours his meaning well perhaps now
00:15:13please mr stringer after this morning i prefer not to mention inspector craddock well anyway no
00:15:19matter what he thinks after what mrs lanskiney said at least we know we were right mr enderby was
00:15:26murdered and we know the motive 25 000 pounds to each of the family yes and it's a great deal of
00:15:34money and since they all benefit they are all suspect true but a motive isn't enough
00:15:41facts are what we want otherwise we're groping in the dark no we must set to work to find out all
00:15:47we can about the entire family mrs hayley brown yes always a good starting place of course i disapprove
00:15:56of her gossiping but in a desperate situation one must use the means at hand oh yes what is more
00:16:03i suggest we start at once oh surely you realize why have you and i ever read a murder thriller that
00:16:12stops at a single killing then you mean yes the killer may strike again i hadn't thought of that
00:16:20perhaps after all the police we will go to the police when our case is complete they have their methods
00:16:26we have ours
00:16:39so
00:16:45so
00:16:49yes and moreover I'm told that Cora Lanskinet did not return to Milchester just for the funeral.
00:17:15after living in France for a number of years two months ago she rented a cottage a few miles from here.
00:17:23and that's where her brother mr. Enderby visited her. yes and the vicar maintains that he was a recluse.
00:17:29he hadn't left the country for 30 years. yes I heard that too. and mrs. Hayley Brown.
00:17:34always a mine of information. says Cora Lanskinet needed that inheritance badly
00:17:39because before he died her husband ran through all her money buying worthless paintings.
00:17:44yes all very useful but it still doesn't tell us why she thinks her brother was murdered.
00:17:50perhaps she wasn't telling the truth. why should she lie?
00:17:54well she did marry a Frenchman and paint her too.
00:17:58yes a very bad one. still that doesn't make her completely irresponsible.
00:18:02no not completely.
00:18:04you know I think it's time I had my portrait painted.
00:18:08your portrait miss Marple?
00:18:10yes I'm going to call on Cora Lanskinet.
00:18:12just as an excuse mind you.
00:18:14we must find out what our brother said to her that day that makes her so sure he was murdered.
00:18:20I'll be back to tea.
00:18:22perhaps you'll be so kind as to get it ready for us.
00:18:26yes.
00:18:28yes.
00:18:32yes.
00:18:36yes.
00:18:38yes.
00:18:40yes.
00:18:42yes.
00:18:44Oh, my God.
00:19:14Oh, my God.
00:19:44Mrs. Lanskeney, I'm sorry to disturb you.
00:20:01Mrs. Lanskeney.
00:20:02Mrs. Lanskeney.
00:20:04Mrs. Lanskeney.
00:20:06Mrs. Lanskeney.
00:20:08Mrs. Lanskeney.
00:20:21Who are you?
00:20:22What are you doing here?
00:20:25Well, I was...
00:20:25What's the matter with Mrs. Lanskeney?
00:20:28I'm afraid she's dead.
00:20:30Mrs. Lanskeney.
00:20:32Yes, but...
00:20:34You killed her.
00:20:37You killed her.
00:20:37My dear woman.
00:20:38Don't you touch me.
00:20:40You killed her.
00:20:40I saw you bending over her.
00:20:42My dear woman, do I look like a murderess?
00:20:44Well, I don't know what you look like, but I saw you.
00:20:47What you saw or didn't see isn't of much point at the moment.
00:20:50We have to call the police.
00:20:52Where's the telephone?
00:20:53Hey, there it is.
00:20:54But you haven't yet told me who you are.
00:20:58I'm Mrs. Lanskeney's companion.
00:21:00Miss Millcrest.
00:21:02Hello.
00:21:03Yes, I can hear you're talking, but you'll have to stop talking.
00:21:07Yes, I know it's a party line, but this is an emergency.
00:21:10I have to call the police.
00:21:13You needn't be sarcastic, young man.
00:21:15Indeed, I have a crime to report.
00:21:18Murder.
00:21:19Murder most foul.
00:21:22Murder.
00:21:33Oh, good afternoon, Inspector.
00:21:36Miss Marple.
00:21:37Yes.
00:21:38I have some tittle-tattle to convey.
00:21:40Do come in.
00:21:41That's about all we need, sir.
00:21:53Fine, thanks.
00:21:54Let me have a lab report on that as soon as possible, will you?
00:21:57All right, sir.
00:21:58Funny weapon, do you use?
00:21:59Yes.
00:22:00A woman's weapon.
00:22:01Or a man's, wishing everyone to think it was a woman's.
00:22:06I wasn't precluding that possibility, Miss Marple.
00:22:09The lady says she feels well enough to talk now, sir.
00:22:12Right, bring her in.
00:22:14Well, Miss Marple, I won't keep you any longer.
00:22:16It's quite all right, Inspector.
00:22:17I'm entirely at your disposal.
00:22:19You don't suspect her, do you?
00:22:21Well, she was here.
00:22:22The weapon was a hatpin.
00:22:23True, but would anyone make themselves so obvious a suspect?
00:22:26There have been stupid murderers.
00:22:29She's a timid woman, Inspector, not a stupid one.
00:22:35By the way, I think you ought to know that this morning...
00:22:37No, not now, Miss Marple, please.
00:22:40Oh, Miss Milcrest, sit down, won't you?
00:22:42Oh, dear.
00:22:43I've never had anything to do with the police before.
00:22:45There's nothing to worry about, my dear.
00:22:47Very, really, very nice.
00:22:48Well, thank you, Miss Marple.
00:22:50Now, I understand you've been Mrs. Lansquenet's companion for many years now.
00:22:54Oh, yes, indeed.
00:22:55I know this must be a great shock to you, but there are things we need to know.
00:23:00Well, I'll do my best.
00:23:02I'm sure you will.
00:23:03Now, when did you see her last?
00:23:05Just before I went to the library.
00:23:07What time was that?
00:23:09I caught the two o'clock bus.
00:23:12I'd say she's been dead about two hours.
00:23:14It's now 4.30.
00:23:16It's now about 2.30.
00:23:17Of course, the coroner will be able to be a bit more exact.
00:23:19Isn't it extremely difficult to determine the exact time of death, Inspector?
00:23:25We'll do our best to be as accurate as possible, Miss Marple.
00:23:30Now, before you left her, did she seem nervous or upset in any way?
00:23:33No, she was fine.
00:23:35She was just getting ready to go out.
00:23:37Miss Milcrest, have you any idea at all who may have killed her?
00:23:43Aside from your suspicions of Miss Marple, I mean,
00:23:45anyone else, anyone who hated her?
00:23:48Oh, no, she was kind to everyone.
00:23:51She was very kind to me.
00:23:53She told me she was going to leave me her amethyst brooch
00:23:56and one of her own paintings as a remembrance.
00:23:59She painted very well, don't you think?
00:24:02Mm-hmm.
00:24:02Uh, yes.
00:24:06Yes, indeed.
00:24:07Miss Milcrest, did she have any visitors lately?
00:24:11No, we lived very quietly, really.
00:24:14But did none of her relatives ever call on her
00:24:16after her return to this country?
00:24:18Only her brother, her late brother, I mean,
00:24:21he called about a month ago.
00:24:23But in latter years, he hardly ever left his home.
00:24:24Was that for any special reason?
00:24:25Well, yes, you see,
00:24:28they'd been estranged for a number of years.
00:24:31After her husband died,
00:24:32she needed help financially.
00:24:34She wrote to him.
00:24:35Were you present when he called?
00:24:37Oh, no.
00:24:39Did you by any chance overhear anything they said to each other?
00:24:43Do you suppose I'm the sort of woman
00:24:44who listens at keyholes?
00:24:45Of course not.
00:24:46Oh, I'm sorry.
00:24:48I just wondered if you might have happened
00:24:49to overhear something.
00:24:51I didn't hear a thing.
00:24:53Miss Marple, I think I'm quite capable
00:24:54of asking any relevant questions.
00:24:56So sorry, Inspector.
00:24:58Well, thank you, Miss Milcrest.
00:24:58If, um, you'd be good enough
00:25:00to make a preliminary statement to Sergeant Bacon,
00:25:02we'll talk again later.
00:25:03Oh, Sergeant, you'd better notify the relatives.
00:25:05I think the, uh, solicitor should have the addresses.
00:25:07Right, sir.
00:25:08Mrs. Lanskney told me they were all staying
00:25:10with Mr. Hector Enderby for a few days.
00:25:13That's at the Gallop at Till, isn't it?
00:25:14Yes.
00:25:15It is also a riding establishment.
00:25:17Miss Milcrest,
00:25:19did you or did Mrs. Lanskney ever ride?
00:25:23Ride?
00:25:24Horses, you know.
00:25:26No.
00:25:29Well, I won't detain you, Inspector,
00:25:32but I suggest that you pay a call
00:25:33on the family as soon as possible.
00:25:35Oh, you do, do you?
00:25:36And why?
00:25:37Well, I think you ought to know
00:25:39that at the reading of the will this morning,
00:25:41Cora Lanskney said
00:25:42that her brother had been murdered.
00:25:45What?
00:25:45How did you know?
00:25:49Oh, yes, of course.
00:25:50You happened to overhear, didn't you?
00:25:52As you say,
00:25:53I overheard.
00:25:55May I ask why you didn't tell me this before?
00:25:57Well, I did try to tell you earlier,
00:25:59but you wouldn't let me.
00:26:02Oh, yes.
00:26:03Yes, of course.
00:26:04Don't you think it's a trifle coincidental
00:26:08that she should have been murdered so soon
00:26:10after making that statement?
00:26:14Yes.
00:26:16A little too coincidental.
00:26:18Unless someone in the family thought
00:26:21that Cora not only knew her brother had been murdered,
00:26:23but who murdered him.
00:26:26Yes.
00:26:28Moreover,
00:26:29that poor woman
00:26:30is in a very dangerous position.
00:26:33Miss Milprest?
00:26:34Yes.
00:26:34You see,
00:26:35if she did overhear
00:26:36what passed between Cora and her brother
00:26:38and the murderer suspected it,
00:26:41she's likely to receive
00:26:42the same treatment
00:26:43that Cora did.
00:26:44Well, I'll have to leave you now,
00:26:48I'm afraid, inspector,
00:26:49to go and pack.
00:26:50Pack?
00:26:51Yes.
00:26:52I'm going on a short holiday.
00:26:54Good day.
00:26:55A very good idea, Miss Marple.
00:26:58I hope you have a most enjoyable time.
00:27:14I'll be in touch with you.
00:27:40Miss Marple,
00:27:41I'm still not absolutely happy about this.
00:27:43I feel if I could be with...
00:27:44Now, Mr. Stringer,
00:27:45we have agreed
00:27:46that a non-rider
00:27:47in a place like this
00:27:48would be conspicuous.
00:27:50Besides,
00:27:50the police are here.
00:27:52And so,
00:27:53purely as a matter of routine,
00:27:54you understand,
00:27:55I'd like an account
00:27:55of all your individual movements
00:27:57between two o'clock
00:27:58and four o'clock
00:27:58yesterday afternoon.
00:27:59Surely, inspector,
00:28:00you're not suggesting
00:28:01it was one of the family
00:28:02that put poor Auntie Cora down?
00:28:04I'm not suggesting anything, sir.
00:28:05I'm merely making inquiries.
00:28:07Extremely offensive ones,
00:28:08I have to say.
00:28:09I'm sorry.
00:28:10I find murder offensive, too.
00:28:12But good heavens, ma'am,
00:28:12why would any of us
00:28:13do a dreadful thing
00:28:14like that to an old woman?
00:28:15Well, one suggestion
00:28:16that's been put forward
00:28:17is to keep her quiet.
00:28:20About what?
00:28:22Well, it seems
00:28:23she made a statement
00:28:23yesterday morning.
00:28:25A statement to the effect
00:28:26that your uncle,
00:28:27Mr. Enderby,
00:28:28was murdered.
00:28:30How on earth
00:28:30did you find that out?
00:28:32I think that's irrelevant,
00:28:33don't you, sir?
00:28:34I take it no one
00:28:37is denying
00:28:37Mrs. Lansgrenade
00:28:38did say it.
00:28:41Very well, then.
00:28:42There's one motive.
00:28:43There could be others.
00:28:47May I start with you,
00:28:48Mr. Shea?
00:28:49Yes.
00:28:49All right.
00:28:50But I'm afraid
00:28:51I can't give you an alibi
00:28:52if that's what
00:28:53you're looking for.
00:28:54Yesterday.
00:28:56Well, I was
00:28:57out riding all afternoon.
00:28:59Alone, sir?
00:29:00Quite alone.
00:29:01Where?
00:29:02Well, I'm afraid
00:29:03I'm not familiar enough
00:29:04with the neighbourhood
00:29:04to tell you.
00:29:05But you were familiar
00:29:06enough with it
00:29:06to find your way back.
00:29:08The horse did.
00:29:09And did you meet anyone
00:29:11when you were out riding?
00:29:12No, I'm afraid not.
00:29:13I wish I had.
00:29:15So do I.
00:29:17Now, what about you,
00:29:18Mr. Crossfield?
00:29:19Well, I was out riding
00:29:21too, as a matter of fact.
00:29:22I see.
00:29:22I didn't meet anyone either.
00:29:24Very well, then.
00:29:26And I suppose
00:29:27you were out riding
00:29:28too, Mr. Enderby.
00:29:29No, I was in here
00:29:30all the afternoon.
00:29:31Were you, Hector?
00:29:33I tried the door once
00:29:34and it was locked.
00:29:35I thought you were out.
00:29:36I locked the door.
00:29:37I didn't want to be disturbed.
00:29:39And what were you doing?
00:29:41I was doing my accounts.
00:29:43I see.
00:29:44Very well.
00:29:47And you, Mr. Shane?
00:29:49We all seem to have
00:29:49pretty feeble alibis.
00:29:51I was in my room too.
00:29:54All afternoon?
00:29:55Yes, except when
00:29:56I went to look for Hector.
00:29:57I was reading.
00:29:59Did any of the staff
00:30:00see you when you came
00:30:01here looking for Mr. Enderby?
00:30:04No.
00:30:05I must say, Inspector,
00:30:06it is unusual
00:30:07for an English woman
00:30:08to prefer reading
00:30:09when she could be riding.
00:30:11But it is possible.
00:30:12I didn't say it wasn't.
00:30:14Well, then,
00:30:14I hope you're satisfied.
00:30:15I'm far from satisfied,
00:30:17Mr. Enderby.
00:30:17But we'll leave it
00:30:18for the moment.
00:30:19I'd appreciate it
00:30:20if you'd all make
00:30:21detailed statements
00:30:21to Sergeant Bacon.
00:30:23Keep yourselves available.
00:30:24I'll be with the Chief Constable
00:30:26for the next hour or so
00:30:26if you want me.
00:30:27Yes, sir.
00:30:28Just one moment, Inspector.
00:30:29Does that mean
00:30:30that you want us all
00:30:31to stay here?
00:30:32I'm afraid so, Mr. Crossfield,
00:30:33at least until after the inquest.
00:30:34But I have to go up north tomorrow.
00:30:37I'm sorry.
00:30:37That isn't possible.
00:30:39It's an important sale, Inspector.
00:30:41Lord Fotherway's picture collection.
00:30:43Every dealer in the country
00:30:44will be there
00:30:44and I have a client
00:30:45for the Gainsborough.
00:30:46You also have a partner,
00:30:48I understand.
00:30:48Does that mean
00:30:51that you've been
00:30:51checking up on me?
00:30:52Merely routine, Mr. Crossfield,
00:30:54but your partner
00:30:54can handle the sale, can't he?
00:30:56Yes, but...
00:30:56That's fine.
00:30:57Good day.
00:30:59Now, sir,
00:30:59perhaps I can deal
00:31:00with you first.
00:31:03Inspector,
00:31:04there's something
00:31:04I want to tell you.
00:31:05Yes?
00:31:06Well, ask you, really.
00:31:07I'm trying to run a business here.
00:31:08It's not very nice
00:31:09having a police car
00:31:10parked outside the front door.
00:31:12If you find it necessary
00:31:13to come again,
00:31:13you might come a bit more incognito.
00:31:15Nothing else.
00:31:16Well, I think that's enough, isn't it?
00:31:17Yes, Mr. Enderby,
00:31:18it is.
00:31:18Good morning.
00:31:21Did you see that?
00:31:22Can't really miss it, can you?
00:31:24It's a Broadbeach side saddle.
00:31:26Broadbeach, Northampton.
00:31:27Vintage, too.
00:31:29Well, have a look.
00:31:29What?
00:31:30Have a look at the date
00:31:31behind the stirrup arm.
00:31:35It says, uh...
00:31:37No, don't tell me.
00:31:38I'll tell you.
00:31:401882.
00:31:41No, I'm lying to you.
00:31:421885.
00:31:44Right.
00:31:45I can tell you
00:31:45who it belongs to, too.
00:31:46I've only glimpsed
00:31:47one of these once
00:31:48in the whole country.
00:31:49Lady Kirkbrackle.
00:31:52No.
00:31:53It belongs to...
00:31:55Me, Mr. Enderby.
00:31:57Morning, Inspector.
00:31:59My mamas, of course.
00:32:00My dear lady,
00:32:00it's magnificent.
00:32:01I do hope you have
00:32:02an animal to accommodate it
00:32:04and meet.
00:32:04Yes, yes, yes, indeed.
00:32:06Oh, how nice.
00:32:07I've booked in for a week,
00:32:08don't you know.
00:32:10Well, Inspector,
00:32:11how nice to see you again
00:32:12after so long.
00:32:13So long?
00:32:14Yes, it must be months.
00:32:16Yes, quite.
00:32:17I'm delighted, Miss Marple.
00:32:19I never dreamt that you
00:32:20aspired to be one of us.
00:32:21Well, I've done some
00:32:22riding in my time, you know.
00:32:24Oh?
00:32:24Junior Silver Spurs,
00:32:26Brockbrook, 1910.
00:32:28Junior Silver, Brockbrook, 1910?
00:32:30Miss J.T.V. Marple?
00:32:32Miss Marple, I...
00:32:33You, no, please, Inspector.
00:32:34But to think that we've been
00:32:36neighbours for years.
00:32:37You must let me take you
00:32:38into lunch.
00:32:39You'll lunch with me, of course.
00:32:40Of course.
00:32:401910, what a year that must have been.
00:32:43You must be held indefinitely,
00:32:44is it, by?
00:32:45Yes.
00:32:54Mr. Enderby.
00:32:55So sorry to have kept you waiting.
00:32:56I said I would wait.
00:32:57I didn't want to disturb you at lunch.
00:32:59Well, that was kind of you.
00:33:00Won't you come in?
00:33:01We must find somewhere
00:33:04to bed you down.
00:33:05Bed me down?
00:33:06To get you a room.
00:33:07Won't you sit down?
00:33:08How very kind of you.
00:33:10Nonsense.
00:33:11You couldn't possibly
00:33:12have stayed in the cottage
00:33:13after what happened.
00:33:15No, I couldn't.
00:33:17I just couldn't.
00:33:18That's why I'm so grateful.
00:33:20It's a pleasure, dear lady.
00:33:22A shock like this
00:33:23takes weeks to get over.
00:33:25Few gallops over the downs
00:33:27will have you back
00:33:27in the saddle in no time.
00:33:29But I don't ride.
00:33:31You don't ride.
00:33:33Oh, we'll have to see to that,
00:33:35won't we?
00:33:36Perhaps whilst I'm here
00:33:37there might be something
00:33:38I could do.
00:33:39I can arrange the flowers
00:33:41or be a hostess.
00:33:44Yes, well, we'll talk
00:33:45about that later.
00:33:46Yes, I mustn't keep you.
00:33:50I'm sure you're very busy.
00:33:52Perhaps, um,
00:33:54someone could show me
00:33:55to my room.
00:33:55I'll take you myself.
00:33:56No, no, please don't bother.
00:33:57I'll get the porter
00:33:58to take my things out.
00:34:00Oh, Miss Millcrest.
00:34:02Yes, Mr. Endersby.
00:34:03There was something
00:34:04I wanted to ask you.
00:34:05What was it now?
00:34:06Oh, yes, of course.
00:34:08The day that, uh,
00:34:09her brother called on
00:34:10poor Aunt Cora.
00:34:12Were you at the cottage?
00:34:13Why, yes, I was.
00:34:15You have no idea
00:34:16what they were talking about?
00:34:18Well, no.
00:34:20Naturally, they wanted
00:34:21to be alone.
00:34:22No, but it's not important.
00:34:51Oh, Miss Millcrest.
00:35:09Good morning.
00:35:10How nice to see you again.
00:35:12Good morning.
00:35:14Don't look so frightened,
00:35:15my dear.
00:35:16I've done my quota
00:35:17of murders today.
00:35:18Are you staying here?
00:35:19I am, indeed.
00:35:20Oh, I didn't know that.
00:35:22A delightful surprise
00:35:23for you, no doubt.
00:35:25Incidentally,
00:35:26may I ask
00:35:26what brings you here?
00:35:28Oh, Mr. Hector's
00:35:29been very kind.
00:35:30He invited me
00:35:31when he heard
00:35:31I had to leave the cottage.
00:35:32I really had no place to go.
00:35:35Mr. Hector invited you.
00:35:36Yes.
00:35:37Well, I hope you have
00:35:38a very pleasant stay.
00:35:40Oh, by the way,
00:35:41I shouldn't tell the family
00:35:43that I was in the cottage yesterday.
00:35:45It might hinder
00:35:46the inspector's inquiries.
00:35:48Oh, yes, of course.
00:35:50Can I help you?
00:36:08Well, I was just
00:36:09admiring your boots.
00:36:11They're quite beautiful.
00:36:12I'm really envious.
00:36:15Goodbye.
00:36:25Ah, my dear lady,
00:36:26feminine but practical.
00:36:28Thank you, Mr. Hector.
00:36:29No, when I'm behind
00:36:30one of my lady guests
00:36:31and her jod paws,
00:36:31I always think
00:36:32what a shame it is
00:36:33that elegance seems
00:36:34to have disappeared
00:36:34from the equestrian scene.
00:36:36Oh, how graciously.
00:36:37Well, now, I'll be offering him
00:36:38whatever he can.
00:36:53Hello, George.
00:36:54What are you staring at?
00:36:56Come in, Rosamund.
00:36:57What's so interesting
00:36:58down there, anyway?
00:37:00That old woman
00:37:00going off with Hector
00:37:01is the one
00:37:01who found Uncle's body.
00:37:03She arrived here yesterday.
00:37:05What of it?
00:37:06I don't like people
00:37:06prying into my affairs.
00:37:08You are nervous, aren't you?
00:37:10If you see Michael,
00:37:11will you tell him
00:37:12I was looking for him?
00:37:13Don't go for a moment, Rosamund.
00:37:15Unless it makes you nervous
00:37:16to be here alone with me.
00:37:17And why should it?
00:37:21Because you know
00:37:22how attractive I find you.
00:37:24Yes, I know that.
00:37:25Still only Michael?
00:37:26Of course.
00:37:27And it doesn't bother you
00:37:28to think that he married you
00:37:29for your expectations?
00:37:30He didn't marry me.
00:37:32I was the one who decided.
00:37:34I knew I wanted him
00:37:35from the first moment
00:37:36I saw him.
00:37:37You always get what you want.
00:37:39Of course.
00:37:40I just take it.
00:37:43You're a dangerous woman, Rosamund.
00:37:47I hope you never want
00:37:48anything of mine.
00:37:49You mean like your money?
00:37:51I don't at the moment.
00:37:53George, why were you
00:37:54so anxious to get it?
00:37:55Did you want it that desperately?
00:37:57Let's just say
00:37:58I needed it pretty badly.
00:38:00Are you in trouble again?
00:38:02What the devil do you mean?
00:38:04Clients of yours do sometimes
00:38:06give you money to buy pictures,
00:38:07don't they?
00:38:07What of it?
00:38:08It wouldn't be the first time
00:38:10you'd borrowed some of it,
00:38:11would it?
00:38:11Shut up.
00:38:12Don't get so angry.
00:38:14I don't care.
00:38:15Oh, George, have you?
00:38:18Oh, hello, Rosamund.
00:38:20I was looking for you.
00:38:21I was looking for you, too, darling.
00:38:23I want to go for a drive.
00:38:24Oh, I thought we were
00:38:25going for a walk.
00:38:26I want to go for a drive.
00:38:28Oh, all right, then.
00:38:28We might as well.
00:38:29See you later, George.
00:38:31Bye, George.
00:38:51Oh, are you comfortable, Miss Marble?
00:38:54Perfectly, thank you.
00:38:57I thought Daisy would suit you.
00:38:58When you get your seat back,
00:38:59we'll put you on something
00:39:00a bit livelier.
00:39:02Stand, Blackjack, stand.
00:39:03Come on, come on.
00:39:05Come on, that's better.
00:39:06Come on, you're nervous today,
00:39:07aren't you?
00:39:08Careful, sir.
00:39:09He's in an ugly mood.
00:39:10I can handle him.
00:39:11Don't worry, Hillman.
00:39:12Well, he'll throw you
00:39:13if you can, sir.
00:39:14Nonsense.
00:39:15Are we ready, Miss Marple?
00:39:16I am, if you are.
00:39:20Yes.
00:39:20He's high-spirited, you know,
00:39:21but he's no problem to me,
00:39:23are you, old boy?
00:39:23Come on, come on.
00:39:26We shall have you in shape
00:39:27in no time, Miss Marpley.
00:39:29Two days packing along the lanes
00:39:31and then we shall have you
00:39:32can't bring up.
00:39:46Hello, Hillman.
00:39:51You want something, Mr. George?
00:39:53Yes.
00:39:55I'd like to have a little chat with you.
00:39:57I've got no time for a chat.
00:39:58I've got my word to...
00:39:58Now, don't be insolent.
00:40:00All I want is a little information
00:40:01about Mr. Hector and that old lady.
00:40:03You'll get no information out of me.
00:40:06Why not?
00:40:07Are you hiding something?
00:40:08No, I'm not.
00:40:10Now, perhaps you'll get out of here
00:40:11and let me get on for work.
00:40:12Now, calm down, Hillman.
00:40:14I think that old lady
00:40:15is trying to make trouble
00:40:17for Mr. Hector.
00:40:18She'd better not.
00:40:20She might.
00:40:22I think it would be worth your while
00:40:23to keep an eye on her.
00:40:32Whoa, boy, whoa.
00:40:34Steady, steady.
00:40:38It's a car coming
00:40:39that seems to be unsettling.
00:40:41Don't stare at the south of them.
00:40:42I don't blame them.
00:40:42They're a menace.
00:40:45They're a menace.
00:40:46They're a menace.
00:40:46They're a menace.
00:40:47They're a menace.
00:40:48Ow!
00:40:50Ooh!
00:40:51My foot!
00:40:51My foot!
00:40:52Rosalind, what are you trying to do?
00:40:54That was Hector.
00:40:54You're trying to kill him?
00:40:56There wasn't anyone near him.
00:40:57Well, you nearly hit him.
00:40:58You did it on purpose, didn't you?
00:41:00What's the matter with you, darling?
00:41:02Look, will you slow down?
00:41:03There.
00:41:13Is that better?
00:41:15All right, Rosman.
00:41:16Now, what's all this about?
00:41:17What's all what about?
00:41:18Oh, you know darn well.
00:41:19All right, so I lied to the policeman
00:41:21that morning about riding.
00:41:22What difference does it make?
00:41:25Depends what you were doing.
00:41:26Well, I had some business in the city.
00:41:29Did you?
00:41:30I hope it was to say goodbye to her.
00:41:33Why, I don't know what you're talking about.
00:41:34Don't you?
00:41:36It doesn't matter.
00:41:37I always know when you're lying.
00:41:38I'm not lying.
00:41:40Of course you're lying.
00:41:43Like you lied about where you were last week
00:41:45when you went to see Uncle.
00:41:47On the day he died.
00:41:49How did you know that?
00:41:51I know everything about you.
00:41:53Now, look here, Rosamond.
00:41:54I don't like having my movements checked up on.
00:41:56Now, I mean that.
00:41:57Don't push me too far.
00:41:59But I like to know.
00:42:01What happened?
00:42:01Did you think your fatal charm
00:42:03might loosen his purse strings?
00:42:05Something like that, yes.
00:42:07Didn't they?
00:42:08No.
00:42:09And that's all?
00:42:10Of course that's all.
00:42:12Then why not mention it?
00:42:14Well, I thought after what had happened
00:42:15people might think that I...
00:42:17They might think that Aunt Cora was right.
00:42:21Yes.
00:42:22They might think that.
00:42:28But I insist, Mr. Lenderby.
00:42:30And that boot must come off immediately.
00:42:32Oh, how's the boot now, Mr. Lenderby?
00:42:45As well as can be expected after a horse has stepped on it.
00:42:48I'll help you.
00:42:50That won't be necessary.
00:42:51But I insist, Mr. Lenderby.
00:42:52And that boot must come off immediately.
00:43:02All right, Blackjack.
00:43:04Come on, Blackjack.
00:43:05Easy boy.
00:43:06Easy boy.
00:43:07Is he all right?
00:43:08Oh, well done.
00:43:10I can manage quite well now, thank you.
00:43:12You've dreamed such a thing.
00:43:14Come along.
00:43:14Leg up.
00:43:15Please don't trouble yourself, Miss Marple.
00:43:17I assure you, it's no trouble at all.
00:43:18And the longer you wait,
00:43:20the worse that swelling's going to be.
00:43:21I propose to stand the whole thing in cold water
00:43:23for an hour or so.
00:43:24Useless, Mr. Lenderby.
00:43:26Oh!
00:43:27Bulldog.
00:43:29Now, this may hurt a little when I pull up.
00:43:32Be brave.
00:43:34Be brave.
00:43:37Come along now.
00:43:38Take the strain.
00:43:41Come in, you.
00:43:43Gently.
00:43:44Gently.
00:43:45Ow!
00:43:46Ow!
00:43:47Ow!
00:43:48Ow!
00:43:49Nearly half, Mr. Lenderby.
00:43:53Well, it wasn't too bad, was it?
00:43:57Oh, dear.
00:43:58Dear, dear.
00:43:59What's the matter?
00:44:00The colonel's not going to like this.
00:44:01The colonel?
00:44:02They're his boots.
00:44:04I borrowed them this morning.
00:44:05Some fool, stable girl upset paint all over mine.
00:44:10Oh, did she?
00:44:11No idea, of course, how to get it off.
00:44:15Mr. Lenderby, I think you'd be better occupied bathing that foot.
00:44:19Unless, of course, you want it to swell even more.
00:44:22Yes, perhaps you're right.
00:44:23Be up like a balloon in the morning, anyway.
00:44:25Okay.
00:44:43What the devil are you doing?
00:44:44Mr. Hillman, how you startled me.
00:44:47What are you doing with those boots?
00:44:48Merely admiring them.
00:44:50Fine old English leather.
00:44:51Strong, yet supple.
00:44:53Well, leave them alone from now on.
00:44:56Hillman, there's no way to talk to a lady.
00:44:58Now, get on with your work.
00:44:59Well, I only came to tell you if blackjack was back.
00:45:03You mustn't worry about Hillman.
00:45:05He's a surly chap, but he's been with me for years.
00:45:08Completely trustworthy.
00:45:10Then his appearance is extremely deceptive, Mr. Lenderby.
00:45:14If you'll forgive me, I really must have a little rest.
00:45:17I'll give you a little rest.
00:45:47Oh, my God.
00:47:41It's a family matter.
00:47:42I don't propose to discuss it in public.
00:47:44Johnson, would you see that we're not disturbed for the next half hour?
00:47:47Right, sir.
00:47:48Oh.
00:47:49Are you going out, Miss Marple?
00:47:50I always take a constitutional before retiring, Mr. Lenderby.
00:48:17Hey!
00:48:18Hey!
00:48:19Hey!
00:48:20Hey!
00:48:50Come on.
00:49:20Come on.
00:49:50Come on.
00:50:20Come on, John.
00:50:26Put him in there.
00:50:28Come on.
00:50:36Come on.
00:50:44Come on.
00:50:52Come on.
00:51:02Come on.
00:51:12Come on.
00:51:22Come on.
00:51:24Come on.
00:51:26Come on.
00:51:28Come on.
00:51:30Come on.
00:51:32Come on.
00:51:34Come on.
00:51:36Come on.
00:51:38Come on.
00:51:40Come on.
00:51:42Come on.
00:51:44Come on.
00:51:46Oh.
00:51:48Oh.
00:51:50Oh.
00:51:52Oh.
00:51:54Oh.
00:51:56Oh.
00:51:58Oh.
00:52:00Oh.
00:52:02Oh.
00:52:04Oh.
00:52:06Oh.
00:52:08Oh.
00:52:10Oh.
00:52:12Oh.
00:52:14Oh.
00:52:16Oh.
00:52:18Oh.
00:52:20Oh.
00:52:22Oh.
00:52:24Oh.
00:52:26Oh.
00:52:28Oh.
00:52:30Oh.
00:52:32Oh.
00:52:34Oh.
00:52:36Oh.
00:52:38Oh.
00:52:40Oh.
00:52:42Oh.
00:52:44Oh.
00:52:46Oh.
00:52:48Oh.
00:52:50Oh.
00:52:52Oh.
00:53:14If you're looking for Miss Marple, she's downstairs in the lounge.
00:53:16Oh.
00:53:18Oh.
00:53:20Oh, I'm sorry to have startled you.
00:53:22Oh, that's all right.
00:53:24I'm still a little nervous, I suppose.
00:53:26Yes.
00:53:28Well, under the circumstances, I'm not surprised.
00:53:30What do you mean?
00:53:32Well, if I was the murderer, I'd be very worried in case you had heard what old Enderby said to Cora when he called on her.
00:53:34But I didn't.
00:53:36Well, personally, I don't blame you for forgetting it.
00:53:38The murderer would hardly leave you running around, now would he?
00:53:40Oh.
00:53:42Oh, I must, I must...
00:53:44Girl.
00:53:45Yes.
00:53:46Well, good night.
00:53:48Oh.
00:53:50Oh.
00:53:51Is anything wrong, Miss Milotrest?
00:53:53Yes, I...
00:53:54Could I speak to you, please, alone?
00:53:56Of course.
00:53:57Won't you come to my room?
00:54:03I hope this means that you no longer think I'm a murderess.
00:54:06Please forgive me for that. It was stupid of me.
00:54:08Not at all.
00:54:09A natural conclusion.
00:54:10When you found me standing over the body.
00:54:12Won't you sit down?
00:54:15There was something you wanted to say to me.
00:54:18Oh, Miss Marple.
00:54:19I did overhear Cora.
00:54:21I mean, Mrs. Lanskinet and her brother that day.
00:54:23Yes, I thought so.
00:54:24Of course, I wasn't deliberately eavesdropping.
00:54:25Naturally not.
00:54:26What did you hear?
00:54:27Only bits and pieces, really.
00:54:28But enough to realize he was afraid that someone in the family was going to kill him.
00:54:33Which one of them?
00:54:34I don't know.
00:54:35He kept sort of hinting as though he hated to say the word.
00:54:38Understandable.
00:54:39Miss Millcrest.
00:54:40Have you told this to anyone else?
00:54:41Oh, no.
00:54:42Because when he died so soon afterwards, I began to wonder.
00:54:43And then Mrs. Lanskinet.
00:54:44Oh, Miss Marple, I'm afraid.
00:54:45I'm terribly afraid.
00:54:46Yes, I think you have reason to be.
00:54:47They've all asked me.
00:54:48Every single one of them.
00:54:49And they look at me as if they don't believe me.
00:54:50And they look at me as if they don't believe me.
00:54:51I don't know.
00:54:52I don't know.
00:54:53He kept sort of hinting as though he hated to say the word.
00:54:54Understandable.
00:54:55Miss Millcrest.
00:54:56Have you told this to anyone else?
00:54:57Oh, no.
00:54:58Because when he died so soon afterwards, I began to wonder.
00:54:59And then Mrs. Lanskinet.
00:55:00I'm terribly afraid.
00:55:01Yes, I think you have reason to be.
00:55:03They've all asked me.
00:55:04Every single one of them.
00:55:06And they look at me as if they don't believe me.
00:55:09I'm afraid you're not a very good liar, Miss Millcrest.
00:55:13Now we must tell this to Inspector Craddock.
00:55:16And to no one else.
00:55:17And the sooner the better.
00:55:19Yes.
00:55:20Don't let it worry you anymore.
00:55:22Go to your room and leave the rest to me.
00:55:25Yes, thank you very much.
00:55:30Thank you very much.
00:55:31I thank you very much.
00:57:00Is that you, Inspector?
00:57:10This marble here?
00:57:11Please forgive the lateness of the hour.
00:57:13But as it happens, I have the evidence I've been looking for.
00:57:17I know who the killer is.
00:57:30I know who the killer is.
00:57:44I know who the killer is.
00:57:47I know who the killer is.
00:57:50I hardly think you're in a position to practice me.
00:58:07I'm in a certain sense.
00:58:08And you surely don't think it will stop me anyway, do you?
00:58:11Nothing more to say.
00:58:13Good.
00:58:15Then listen.
00:58:17Yes, I went to see the old man on the day that he was killed.
00:58:20We all of us went there at one time or another,
00:58:23and all for the same reason, to get money out of him.
00:58:27But you were worse than any of us.
00:58:29You were greedy enough to kill for it.
00:58:32Oh, and not just for a quarter of the estate,
00:58:35but for a real sum of money.
00:58:38That picture is worth a fortune.
00:58:42Ironic, isn't it, to think that he must have picked it up 30 years ago
00:58:46and go into Paris for a song.
00:58:49Now I know what that picture is worth.
00:58:52And I want it.
00:58:55If you don't tell me where it is, you know what's going to happen.
00:59:01So where is it?
00:59:03What are you doing?
00:59:05Let me go. You're hurting me.
00:59:07Snoopy, I'm trying, you old busybody.
00:59:09You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
00:59:11How dare you!
00:59:13I shall report you to your employer first thing in the morning.
00:59:41General at once.
00:59:42I'm ready for the firing room.
00:59:43He ولا toothpaste, there?
00:59:44I live with the fire.
00:59:45Bye-bye.
00:59:50Then we will have power to the fire.
00:59:53We slowlylab our steamer.
00:59:54No!
00:59:55We will not fail.
00:59:56He will not fail.
00:59:57Yes!
00:59:58That's awesome.
00:59:59We don't fail your cars too!
01:00:00No, he has passed away not.
01:00:02Yellow, has passed away.
01:00:03Though皮 is very successful.
01:00:04That's common and wackroad Là.
01:00:05Peppa is unknown to as well as to do chores.
01:00:07Hey, who's that?
01:00:09Open up!
01:00:19Help!
01:00:21Help!
01:00:23Help!
01:00:25Help!
01:00:27Help!
01:00:29Help!
01:00:31Help!
01:00:33Help!
01:00:35Help!
01:00:36Help!
01:00:38Help!
01:00:40Help!
01:00:42Stop that infernal row!
01:00:44Turn the engine off!
01:00:52Come on, Blackjack.
01:00:54Steady. Steady.
01:01:00What on earth is going on here? What's happened?
01:01:02What's the matter with Blackjack?
01:01:04Blackjack's all right, sir.
01:01:06He's all right.
01:01:08But there was someone in there.
01:01:10What?
01:01:12There was someone in there.
01:01:14Who?
01:01:16Mr. Crossfield, sir.
01:01:18There was someone in there.
01:01:20There was someone in there.
01:01:26And where were you, sir?
01:01:28I was upstairs in my room.
01:01:30And you, madam?
01:01:32I was fast asleep, inspector.
01:01:34There was someone in there.
01:01:38So you were all in your rooms.
01:01:44One of you wasn't.
01:01:46There was someone in there.
01:02:00Whoever locked that stable door and turned that motor on is a murderer.
01:02:04That is the situation.
01:02:06And until I get to the bottom of it, none of you is to leave the premises.
01:02:08That will be quite impossible, inspector.
01:02:10I'm afraid I must insist.
01:02:12My men will be here to see those orders are carried out.
01:02:14Are you trying to ruin me?
01:02:16I can't have peace.
01:02:18You can and you will, Mr. Enderby.
01:02:20But, good heavens, tonight is our annual dance.
01:02:22Tonight?
01:02:24You're having a dance here?
01:02:26Well, it may sound rather unfeeling to hold a dance under the circumstances,
01:02:28but I'm running a business here.
01:02:30I've lost enough guests already.
01:02:32All right, you can have your dance.
01:02:34But nothing else changes.
01:02:36That's all for the moment.
01:02:38Can I get back to work now, sir?
01:02:40There's a lot to do for tonight.
01:02:42I suppose that's permissible.
01:02:44Of course.
01:02:46Does that mean we can all go?
01:02:48As long as you don't leave the grounds.
01:02:50Oh, inspector, I wonder if I might go up to London this afternoon.
01:02:52No, Mr. Shane, I'm sorry, but no one leaves.
01:02:54That's all, Mr. Shane.
01:02:56Oh, Miss Marple.
01:02:58Yes, inspector.
01:02:59Can I have a word with you?
01:03:01I have something rather important to say.
01:03:03Oh, yes.
01:03:09About that call last night.
01:03:11That, yes.
01:03:12You had the evidence and the murderer, I believe you said.
01:03:15Well, I'm afraid I was a little premature there.
01:03:18Were you?
01:03:19Who do you think it was? Crossfield?
01:03:21As a matter of fact, I did.
01:03:23But only briefly, inspector.
01:03:25Very briefly.
01:03:26Now I really know.
01:03:27Oh, yes.
01:03:28Yes, I'm sure you do.
01:03:29But I do.
01:03:30Only before I can be quite sure, I need the expert opinion of an art dealer.
01:03:35An art dealer?
01:03:36That's what I said, inspector.
01:03:38However, I'll take care of that.
01:03:40But I need your help.
01:03:42Ah, there is, Mr. Stringer.
01:03:44If you'll excuse me, I'll be with you in a moment.
01:03:49I'm sending him to London on an important mission.
01:03:53And when he returns tonight, he will have certain information that I need.
01:03:58After that, we can force the killer out into the open.
01:04:02Oh, we can, can we?
01:04:03Yes, I guarantee it.
01:04:05How much do you know about first aid, inspector?
01:04:08First aid?
01:04:09What has that to do with it?
01:04:10Well, I'm planning to have a heart attack at the dance tonight.
01:04:13And I shall be much obliged if you will pretend to take care of me.
01:04:17If you think for one moment...
01:04:18But later, I have the doctor confirm the diagnosis.
01:04:21Just like that.
01:04:22Now, may I ask what you're proposing to do then?
01:04:24I am proposing to allow myself to be frightened to death.
01:04:29Good day, inspector.
01:04:31Come, Mr. Stringer, let's go up to my room.
01:04:33It's easier to talk there.
01:04:38You know, I'm not entirely sure about that woman.
01:04:40George thought she was working for the police, and I think so too.
01:04:43What nonsense.
01:04:44She's a lady.
01:04:45Besides, she's a great horsewoman.
01:04:46One doesn't necessarily preclude the other, does it, Hector?
01:04:49I've never heard of a mounted policewoman.
01:04:52You know her well.
01:04:54Is she working for the police?
01:04:56Oh, no.
01:04:58At least, I don't think so.
01:05:00I believe she knows the inspector personally.
01:05:03What does it matter, darling?
01:05:05You sound like a man with a guilty conscience.
01:05:07My conscience is perfectly clear, thank you.
01:05:09In that case, you have nothing to worry about.
01:05:11Hector, now I can have the picture, can't I?
01:05:14No.
01:05:15Nobody else wanted it but George.
01:05:18And he's dead.
01:05:19I've told you why.
01:05:20I'm keeping it myself.
01:05:26Now, you are pleased to take this to London.
01:05:28To the odd dealers.
01:05:29They will appraise it and get it back here.
01:05:31As quickly as you can.
01:05:32All right.
01:05:33If it'll help.
01:05:34Well, I'm hopeful it will not only help but clinch the whole matter, so to speak.
01:05:37That means you've made real progress.
01:05:39Yes, we are near the end.
01:05:40Very near.
01:05:41You know who did it?
01:05:42I think so.
01:05:43Oh, good.
01:05:44Who?
01:05:45I can't tell you that at present.
01:05:47Miss Marple.
01:05:48Please be careful.
01:05:49Of course I'll be careful.
01:05:50And you see, you don't get yourself arrested.
01:05:52That's stolen property.
01:05:54Stolen property.
01:05:59Oh, Mr. Enderby.
01:06:00You quite startled me.
01:06:02Won't you come in?
01:06:04I'm so sorry.
01:06:05Mr. Enderby and Mr. Stringer.
01:06:06Always delighted to meet any friend of Miss Marple's.
01:06:07How do you do?
01:06:08How do you do?
01:06:09Well, goodbye.
01:06:10You're not leaving on my account, I hope.
01:06:11No, no, no.
01:06:12An errand in London, you know.
01:06:13What a shame.
01:06:14I was hoping you'd be able to stay for our little dance.
01:06:15Now, isn't that a good idea?
01:06:16And you are so fond of dancing.
01:06:17I am.
01:06:18Well, you know you are.
01:06:19Why don't you return here after going to London?
01:06:20Yes, yes.
01:06:21Perhaps I will.
01:06:22I will.
01:06:23I will.
01:06:24I will.
01:06:25I will.
01:06:26I will.
01:06:27Capital, capital.
01:06:28Perhaps you'd like to leave your parcel.
01:06:29Oh, he'd never be parted from that.
01:06:30Would you, Mr. Stringer?
01:06:31No, no, no.
01:06:32Don't you think it's time you got started?
01:06:33The sooner you go, the sooner you'll get back.
01:06:34True, true.
01:06:35Well, it's been very nice to meet you, Mr. Enderby.
01:06:36Pleasure was mine.
01:06:37What a charming man.
01:06:38Is he by any chance in the same life?
01:06:39No, no.
01:06:40No, no.
01:06:41No, no.
01:06:42No.
01:06:43No.
01:06:44No.
01:06:45No.
01:06:46No.
01:06:47No.
01:06:48No.
01:06:49No.
01:06:50No.
01:06:51No.
01:06:52No.
01:06:53No.
01:06:54No.
01:06:55No.
01:06:56You might have any chance in the same line as my cousin George was.
01:06:58And what line would that be?
01:07:00He's an art dealer.
01:07:02Oh.
01:07:03What can you put that into your head?
01:07:05Well, I'm not sure, really.
01:07:06Perhaps it was the parcel he was carrying.
01:07:08Rather suggested a picture.
01:07:10Oh, no.
01:07:11Mr. Stringer is custodian of the local library.
01:07:14Do you know anything about pictures, Miss Marple?
01:07:16Well, just a little.
01:07:17I can't tell a good one from a bad one myself.
01:07:20I'd rather value your opinion on some my uncle left me.
01:07:23My knowledge of pictures is rather limited.
01:07:25is rather limited but surely just an opinion well you're welcome to that but at some other time
01:07:31this afternoon i'm afraid i really want to rest i'm not feeling very well oh dear and here am i
01:07:37making a nuisance of myself not at all you must rest must have you fit for the dance tonight
01:07:43i'm looking forward to a whirl or two with you
01:07:55you dance beautifully miss marvel why thank you mr enterby so do you well my foot holds me back a
01:08:10bit you know but i manage i manage indeed you do i hope you don't misunderstand about the dogs
01:08:16it's not that i'm unfeeling about george but we always have it naturally you have to consider your guests
01:08:25you get for another whirl of course mr enderby
01:08:35i think perhaps you'd better sit this one out oh dear
01:08:38dreadful not dancing at all
01:08:40dear one must be tolerant of the young mr
01:08:44i remember my dear mama was quite horrified when she caught me doing the charleston in public
01:08:49oh mr charleston was quite different besides i'm sure you danced it beautiful thank you
01:08:54ah there's mr stringer as it happens this is his favorite dance mr stringer
01:09:01miss marvel i found out i was just telling mr enderby that this is your favorite dance
01:09:05shall we dance you mean naturally you'll excuse us won't you mr
01:09:09miss marvel i didn't do your best this is the only way i could get you alone
01:09:27what did you find out you were quite right miss marvel it's worth at least 50 000 pounds i knew it
01:09:33it's worth it than it was that picture after all it certainly was excellent we can now proceed with
01:09:40certainty proceed where miss marvel to trap the killer was inspector craddock in the foyer as you came
01:09:48through i think perhaps a little nightmare and don't be alarmed if i suddenly pretend to be ill
01:09:57down there i'll sit up
01:10:27in the chair
01:10:30it should be quite all right brim no need to fuss no there's every need the doctor warned you miss
01:10:36marple after that last heart attack did he i think if i could just lie down well wouldn't i
01:10:42to get a doctor we'll get the police doctor it'll be quicker bacon yes she's got to lie down immediately
01:10:50where's her room well upstairs at the end of the passage obviously she can't manage any stairs isn't
01:10:54there a room on this floor she could use for tonight well there's a small back room but she'd be all
01:10:58alone there good that's just what she needs complete rest and quiet miss marple do you think if we
01:11:04helped you yes perhaps there we are easy oh i am so sorry to give you all this trouble mr enderby don't
01:11:12be foolish dear lady it's no trouble it's just we're rather worried about you oh i'll be fine fine
01:11:24mr stringer won't you sit down she'll be all right i'm sure she will
01:11:39how is she not very good i'm afraid she'll be all right won't she doctor could i see her i'm afraid
01:11:45not mr stringer she mustn't be disturbed i won't even rest moving her to the hospital until the morning
01:11:50you haven't answered my question will she be all right i hope so but it's a pretty severe attack
01:11:56now will you see she's not disturbed by anything of course if i could just speak to her for a minute
01:12:00doctor before we go absolutely not inspector she's to have complete rest and quiet well i won't disturb
01:12:05her but there was something she wanted to tell me about a painting she can tell you in the morning
01:12:09possibly if she's any better after i'm afraid i've got to insist you can insist all you like but for the
01:12:14moment she's my patient and no one goes near her any disturbance of any kind would probably be fatal
01:12:23now i suggest you all get to bed try and get some sleep good night
01:12:44miss marple are you awake
01:13:14oh
01:14:44Wake up. Wake up!
01:14:58It's me, Cora. I've come back.
01:15:01Yes, Cora. I've been waiting for you.
01:15:05You've come for your picture, haven't you?
01:15:08Yes, you stole it.
01:15:10I've only borrowed it, my dear.
01:15:13I have it right here.
01:15:16Allow me to return it to you.
01:15:19Miss Millcrest.
01:15:24Then you're not ill.
01:15:26I never felt better in my life.
01:15:29There's nothing the matter with your heart.
01:15:30But I should have guessed it was a trick.
01:15:38Foolish of me.
01:15:44How did you know?
01:15:45I've seen you before.
01:15:47At the reading of the will.
01:15:49By impersonating Cora.
01:15:51You were able to plant the suspicion that old Enderby had been murdered.
01:15:55So that when you killed Cora,
01:15:57it would look as if someone in the family did it to keep her quiet.
01:16:00I fooled them all.
01:16:03Not one of them dreamed I wasn't, Cora.
01:16:05So then you had to kill George Crossfield, too.
01:16:09It was clever of me, wasn't it?
01:16:11And all this for nothing.
01:16:16No.
01:16:17Not all for nothing, Miss Marple.
01:16:20Because you're the only one left who knows.
01:16:26Not so clever after all, are you, Miss Marple?
01:16:29Nor was Cora.
01:16:32The fool.
01:16:33The picture is worth a fortune.
01:16:35And she didn't even know it.
01:16:37She was so stupid.
01:16:38She said I could have it when she died.
01:16:40Because I admired it one day.
01:16:42You won't get away with it this time.
01:16:44Oh, yes.
01:16:45A few minutes from now,
01:16:47and I shall be harmless Miss Milchrist again.
01:16:50Let's go! Let's go!
01:16:51Milchrist!
01:16:53Don't be so judge me.
01:16:55I don't... please don't judge me.
01:16:56All right, Bacon.
01:16:57I don't...
01:16:59Oh, for goodness sake, Miss Marple, why didn't you ring?
01:17:02The law may have a long arm, Inspector.
01:17:05Unfortunately, I haven't.
01:17:09And now, if you'll forgive me,
01:17:11I must catch up on a little sleep.
01:17:23Come in.
01:17:24You asked to see me before I left, Mr. Enderby.
01:17:31Oh, yes, indeed, Miss Marple.
01:17:34Yes.
01:17:35Yes, indeed.
01:17:36May I help you with that?
01:17:38Oh, that is good of you.
01:17:39Do.
01:17:40There we are.
01:17:41There we are.
01:17:42May I?
01:17:43Oh, please do.
01:17:46Ow.
01:17:47Is this wise, Mr. Enderby?
01:17:50Oh, yes.
01:17:51It's the hunt today, you know.
01:17:52It's the fidget hunt.
01:17:55Mr. Enderby, you did want to see me.
01:17:57Yes, that's true, Miss Marple.
01:18:00That's true.
01:18:01Well?
01:18:03Do you know that every chair in this room
01:18:06is stuffed with the hair of the horses that I've loved?
01:18:11Yeah.
01:18:11And I think I may say have loved me.
01:18:14Really?
01:18:16Human beings, you know, I've never got on so well with human beings.
01:18:18Well, of course, they're all right when they're up,
01:18:20but when they're down.
01:18:21Only two legs, you know.
01:18:23Oh, yes, I think I follow you, Mr. Enderby.
01:18:26I knew you would.
01:18:27We're alike.
01:18:28Alike.
01:18:29Well, I mean, you're a lady in retirement,
01:18:32a single lady, living alone.
01:18:35Well, I think you know what I'm trying to say.
01:18:39Are you by any chance proposing to me, Mr. Enderby?
01:18:44That's right.
01:18:45I'm proposing that you should keep your saddle here permanently.
01:18:49This is where it belongs.
01:18:50Oh, I'm afraid.
01:18:51Oh, it would be a working arrangement, of course.
01:18:55You run the hotel, and I'll run the stable.
01:18:59Well, you run the stable, and I'll run the hotel.
01:19:04Well, I'm extremely flattered, Mr. Enderby.
01:19:07Well?
01:19:08But I'm afraid I must say no.
01:19:12No?
01:19:13You see, I have so many other interests to occupy my time.
01:19:17One, indeed, presses now the next production of the church hall, a murder mystery.
01:19:23Well, I do hope you'll come.
01:19:26I don't think I'd care for it.
01:19:28Oh, what a pity.
01:19:29Well, good-bye.
01:19:33Good-bye.
01:19:36Miss Barthol.
01:19:37Yes?
01:19:38I would deem it an honor if you'd at least stay the day and be my guest at the hunt.
01:19:44I'm very sorry, Mr. Enderby, but I disapprove of blood sports.
01:19:48That was a very narrow escape.
