03:04Good luck, darling.
03:06Mm.
03:11Thanks, old man.
03:19Good shooting, Archie.
03:23Thanks, sir.
03:23Hey.
03:33Poor old Archie.
04:10Hey.
04:11Hey.
04:11Hey.
04:12Hey.
04:12Hey.
04:29In your shoulder.
04:30Tide.
04:31Stroke the cheek.
04:32Stroke the cheek.
04:33Tide.
04:33Right.
04:34Ninety-degree angle.
04:36Now break.
04:38Let's hope for a good bag.
04:40They're breaking, Mr. Pace.
04:42Here they come.
04:58Damn it.
05:14Mr. Poilot.
05:16Mr. Poilot.
05:18Oh.
05:19Pardon, madame.
05:22The popping, you know.
05:24But why did you come, Mr. Poilot?
05:27The red grass.
05:28It must be eaten fresh while the gun is still smoking, as we say.
05:34Ah, gourmet.
05:36You are too kind, madame Havering, but it is most rare in my country, the tetras.
05:40We make do with la jelly nut, the wood grass, but the flavor it is piney.
05:46Piney?
05:47Yes, this is not a word, piney, like the pine trees.
05:51Ah, piney.
05:53Yes.
05:56It's a very good word.
06:03There we are, sir.
06:07Slowed.
06:08Quick.
06:13Watch him stutter!
06:17Ah!
06:19You've hit Mr. Pace!
06:22Mr. Pace!
06:23You bloody fool!
06:29You bloody, bloody fool!
06:32You damn near kill me!
06:35What the hell were you doing, Studdard?
06:38You were supposed to be looking after him!
06:41Call yourself a gamekeeper?
06:43You can't even pass muster as a nursery maid!
06:47Oh!
06:48Will you give me a handkerchief?
06:58Mr. Archie is a complete idiot!
07:03It looks like Uncle Harry's all right.
07:06Well, I'd better get back to Hunter's Lodge.
07:09Make sure Mrs. Middleton has everything under control for lunch.
07:13She's only with us, pray tell.
07:17Mr. Poirot, may I entrust you with a task?
07:22Mother.
07:22Look after Cousin Archie for me, will you?
07:25I couldn't bear it if he went back to his little cottage and brooded.
07:28He will not be able to brood in the company of Hercule Poirot, madame.
07:34You are a treasure.
07:35Yeah.
08:08Ellie, where's Mrs. Middleton?
08:09Up in her room, ma'am.
08:11She done most of it.
08:12She left us a note to get on setting it out.
08:15She's impossible.
08:19Still, it all looks very nice.
08:21Thank you, ma'am.
08:22Thank you, ma'am.
08:23I'm going to lie down for a moment.
08:25I've got a wretched earache.
08:26The wind up there is like a knife.
08:28It's been snowing up on the moor, you know.
08:32Others will be here in about half an hour.
08:37Mrs. Middleton?
08:57Follow on.
09:00For two hours I am waiting in the snow Hastings.
09:03The ice it is forming on my bones.
09:09No bottle.
09:11Ah, a log fire.
09:13One of the better traditions of the English.
09:18Roger was saying you keep an eye on the place for the family.
09:20Yes.
09:21I'm local.
09:22Poor relation is available.
09:25Damned invidious it is too.
09:28What is it?
09:29Some of my pupils' families live six to a room.
09:31This place lies empty 40 weeks of the year.
09:34They only come up here for the shooting.
09:35Mrs. Middleton.
09:37Where's my wife, do you know?
09:39She's open her room, sir.
09:40Her room?
09:42She's an earache, sir, I'm told.
09:44Well, she damn well ought to be here.
09:47That sort of thing won't get him very far.
09:50Not with Zoe.
09:51Will you have some more punch, girls?
09:52Thank you, Mr. Payne.
09:57Ah, excuse me.
10:03Uncle Harry, I'm really sorry about your hand.
10:06Don't think I'll take up grouse-shooting as a career.
10:09Delighted to hear it.
10:12The fella asked me the other day, a bolshe, you know,
10:15asked me, had I actually made anything during my workless life?
10:21Certainly, I said.
10:23I made a lot of friends, I made a lot of enemies, and I've made a lot of money.
10:33You all right, Poirot?
10:34My feet, Hastings, are still blocks of ice.
10:36My lungs, they are full of the gunpowder and the fresh air,
10:39my ears are full of the popping, and I am ill.
10:42No, you're not all right, Hastings, not at all.
10:44Um, uh, au revoir, Mr. Poirot.
10:47Au revoir.
10:48Good to have met you.
10:50I had to be off.
10:51It's a six-mile bike ride for me, I'm afraid.
10:54You are leaving?
10:56One can leave?
10:59Mr. Poirot, goodbye.
11:01Ah, Mr. Havery, goodbye.
11:05Next year, we'll put you up at the house.
11:07No, the hotel's fine. It's very comfortable.
11:09Bye, Roger.
11:10Bye.
11:12Cheerio. Thanks.
11:14If his hand gets better.
11:16I'm sure it will.
11:18Bye, Archie. Take care.
11:21Oh, God. I'm sorry.
11:24It's all right.
11:26I'm all right.
11:27Are you all right, Zoe?
11:29Oh, yes. I had a filthy earache. I'm fine now.
11:32Take care of yourself, Archie.
11:34Yes. Yes, indeed.
11:37I'll, uh...
11:41Bye, then.
11:43Bye, then.
12:09I'll get myself ready, then I'll be off to London now.
12:12You should make the five o'clock.
12:14Darling, couldn't you catch the 6.15?
12:16Why?
12:17Mrs. Middleton wants to go down to Studdard's place to pick up some game.
12:20Oh, darling.
12:22She makes such a fuss.
12:25Bloody temporary staff.
12:27Don't know what that agency's playing at.
12:30Ellie has to walk four miles and you never hear her complaining.
12:33Hmm.
12:34It would be so much easier if you gave her a lift.
12:37She'd only have to walk back.
12:38All right, all right. I'll do it.
12:42Mrs. Middleton?
12:43Joan, would you like a lift, too?
12:47Mr. Haven could drop you off on the way to Mr. Studdard's.
12:49Oh, thank you, Mum.
12:50Come along, then.
12:52Come along, then.
13:09I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it, Moira.
13:13My enjoyment is yet to come, Hastings.
13:16I have given to the chef his instructions.
13:19What, sir?
13:21Mon Dieu.
13:22Look at this, Hastings.
13:25I am a corpse waiting to die.
13:27I shall not survive to enjoy my tetra à l'angoisse.
13:52All aboard.
13:54This is 6.15.
13:56Put your home stations to London, King's Cross.
14:30You're so late.
14:43Oh, I see.
14:45I can't keep the Där свет in bed.
14:49Now you stay there, you stay.
15:37You stay there, you stay.
15:55Hey, is that my boy?
16:42You stay there, you stay there.
16:50Mr. Stoddard!
16:53Mr. Stoddard!
16:56Fetch the police.
16:58There's been a shooting.
16:59Go!
17:03Go!
17:32And you can confirm that this is Mr. Arrington Pace?
17:35Yes, sir.
17:37Mrs. Haven's in a terrible state.
17:39I've given her something to help her sleep.
17:42I let the killer in.
17:44That's what I can't get over.
17:46Describe this man.
17:48He was wearing a big overcoat, and he had a beard.
17:52A great bushy thing.
17:54He said he wanted to see Mr. Pace, so I showed him into the gunroom,
17:57like I always do with visitors.
17:59Yes?
18:00I went back into the living room and started clearing up,
18:03and then you heard the sound.
18:06The shot.
18:08Like someone knocking on the door of hell it was.
18:30Who is it?
18:32It's me.
18:34Come in, Hastings.
18:38There's been a murder.
18:40Who has been murdered?
18:41Harrington Pace.
18:42Up at Hunter's Lodge.
18:43Shot with one of his own revolvers.
18:50You're still not well, Poirot.
18:51Oh.
18:53Oh, I must confess I feel a little weak.
18:56You get back into bed now.
18:57Oh.
19:01You can leave this to me.
19:03Come on.
19:03This investigation, you can leave it to me.
19:06I'll report back to you, of course.
19:07Oh.
19:08I know these people, Poirot.
19:09I've got one or two ideas already.
19:11What are these ideas, Hastings?
19:14You just relax.
19:18Hastings, will you please stop tapping your nose in that theatrical manner and tell me all that you know?
19:28I don't seem to be able to find that Mrs Middleton, Sarge.
19:31What do you mean, can't find her?
19:34Oh, this is the Scotland Yard fellow.
19:40Find her.
19:47Jack, Scotland Yard.
19:55Sergeant Forgan, Ashby Pickard.
19:57Pleasant drive, sir.
19:59Are you trying to be funny?
20:00No, sir.
20:03Rich, was he, the victim?
20:04Oh, yes, sir.
20:06Harrington Pace, sir.
20:07Owned a stud outside Newmarket.
20:09House in Belgravia, mooring at Monte Carlo.
20:12And who stands to benefit?
20:13Practically all of it goes to his nephew, Roger Avering.
20:16And where is he?
20:17Spent the night at his club in London.
20:19Yeah, we phoned him there. He's coming back on the first train, sir.
20:28He was shot by a man who just turned up at the door asking to see him.
20:32Must have got a way through that window.
20:33Hmm.
20:35It was the gamekeeper who came and got us.
20:38Oh, he stood to game too, sir.
20:39He's the only other real beneficiary.
20:42Oh, yes.
20:42Pace left him £4,000.
20:45Did he, by God?
20:47Excuse me, Sergeant, but she's not on premises.
20:49She's definitely gone.
20:51Who's that?
20:52Well, the housekeeper, Miss Middleton.
20:54She's your killer into the house.
20:56She's our chief witness.
20:57Better initiate a search.
20:59How many men have you got?
21:01Men, sir?
21:03Just the one, sir.
21:04Him.
21:05Well, you'll have to make optimum use of your resources, won't you?
21:09Sir?
21:31Roger.
21:32What a terrible thing.
21:33I'm off this, sir.
21:35I must go straight to the lodge.
21:36Zoe needs me.
21:37I think we ought to pop in and see Poirot on the way.
21:39He's feeling a bit poorly, so I'm handling the case.
21:43Well, we must keep them informed.
21:47I am profoundly ill, as you can see, but I will do my best to assist.
21:55One thing, Monsieur Havering, if you please.
21:57Yes?
21:59Pardon, but what were you doing when your uncle was killed?
22:03Oh, it's all right.
22:04Roger was on his way to London.
22:06I spent the night at my club.
22:08Police rang me there.
22:10It's a horrible business.
22:11You went to London by train?
22:13Yes, I caught the 6.15.
22:15You talked to anyone on the train?
22:17No.
22:18You arrived at your club at what time?
22:20Oh, about 10 o'clock.
22:22Actually, it was a bit later.
22:23I walked down from King's Cross.
22:26Ah, that's fine.
22:31Hastings.
22:35We'll get on out to the lodge, Poirot.
22:39Very well, Hastings.
22:58Hello.
22:59Reception desk.
23:00Ah, hello, yes.
23:01This is Hercule Poirot, room number five.
23:04I require, if you please, a railway timetable.
23:11I was in here with Mr. Pace when there was a knock at the door.
23:15I heard Mrs. Middleton go to answer it, so I got up to see who it was.
23:19Yes.
23:21He was a man I didn't recognise, so I waited for Mrs. Middleton to show him into the gunroom
23:27and come and announce him.
23:29What did he look like?
23:31Average-ish height.
23:33Hat.
23:35Specs, I think.
23:37Couldn't be sure.
23:39Beard.
23:40What sort of beard?
23:42Bushy.
23:45He looked like one of those anarchists in a cartoon in Punch.
23:49Do you remember what time this man arrived?
23:52About a quarter to seven.
23:56Please go on.
24:00Well...
24:01Mrs. Middleton knocked a minute later, said the man wouldn't give his name but wanted to see Mr. Pace.
24:09Harry said he'd see what he wanted.
24:13He got up and a few minutes later we heard the shot.
24:17The housekeeper, Mrs. Middleton, she was in the room with you, was she?
24:21Yes, she was clearing the drinks glasses.
24:24Did this man arrive by car?
24:28I don't know. I didn't hear anything.
24:31Would you normally hear a car arriving?
24:33Oh, yes.
24:35Yes.
24:35Yes, if he came by car, he didn't bring it up to the house.
24:49You carry on here.
24:51Yes, sir.
24:52This hotel of yours is presentable, is it?
24:54Not too bad.
24:55I'll book myself in.
24:56What are their sandwiches like?
24:58Sandwiches?
24:59No idea.
25:01Tell you what, I put my money on this Middleton woman being in league with the killer.
25:05On her own admission, she shows the fellow in.
25:07Next morning, she's gone.
25:09Yeah, but she's the only person who's had a proper look at the killer.
25:12What did she saw through his disguise?
25:14Disguise?
25:15What disguise?
25:16Bushy beard and glasses.
25:22And suppose she saw who it was under the disguise.
25:26Perhaps we'd better start looking for another body, not a witness.
25:38Well, Mr. Poirot, you get that down here, and I reckon you'll have to fight another day.
25:46Oh.
25:48Thank you very much, Mr. Anstruther.
25:50Come in.
25:53Ah!
25:54Chief, it's back to Jack.
25:56Hastings.
25:56This is Mr. Anstruther of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway.
26:00Afternoon, gents.
26:02Well, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back.
26:05A railway don't run itself, you know.
26:07I'll drop in tomorrow with some more blackberry tea.
26:10Thank you very much.
26:11Oh!
26:12And don't forget my bike, will you?
26:14Certainly not.
26:15That bike means a lot to me, that bike does.
26:19Man and boy, I've had that bike.
26:21Au revoir.
26:25Beauvoir, Mr. Anstruther.
26:26He is a man obsessed.
26:28Obsessed with what?
26:29His bike?
26:31Yes indeed, Chief Inspector.
26:33It has been stolen.
26:35He is also obsessed with other things.
26:38He knows every final detail about the movements of the trains in and out of his little station.
26:44Oh yes.
26:45Been doing some investigation, have we?
26:47How can I, Chief Inspector?
26:48I am prostrated.
26:50I toy with the little lines of inquiry, that is all.
26:54You, of course, will be well ahead of me.
26:57Well, we've got a description of the murderer.
27:01He is a man of medium height, wearing a broad-brimmed hat, sporting a beard that is large and fluffy.
27:06How did you know that?
27:08That is a description of the man who stole the bicycle of Mr. Anstruther.
27:11It is essential that we find it, Hastings.
27:14Oh, right.
27:16Find what?
27:20The bicycle!
27:22Also, I am most anxious to establish whether or not Mr. Archie Havering had an alibi for the time that
27:27Mr. Pace was shot.
27:33You didn't really like your uncle, did you?
27:36What do you imply?
27:38Look, I am sorry about this. I am afraid I have to ask you.
27:41Poirot wants to know what you were doing yesterday evening at the time of your uncle's death.
27:46How dare you?
27:49What on earth makes you think I want to kill a man like my Uncle Harry?
27:53I tell you, he was beneath contempt.
27:57Mean.
27:58Selfish.
28:00You know, Stollard the gamekeeper is his half-brother.
28:02One of his father's bastards.
28:04Good Lord.
28:05His own blood.
28:07And he used him like a servant.
28:11How did he get his money in the first place?
28:13I'll tell you.
28:15He cheated his partner in County Mayo, then used the money for profiteering in the war.
28:20And people liked him.
28:24He boasted about it and people applauded.
28:29Clear off!
28:57Hello?
28:58Chief Inspector.
29:00Ah.
29:00How's the cold, Poirot?
29:02It is not a cold.
29:03It is a deadly fever.
29:05Hmm.
29:06Nasty.
29:07However, I have asked Monsieur and Madame Havering to come to the hotel.
29:11I am now convinced that Monsieur Roger Havering has not been telling the truth.
29:17You say, Monsieur Havering, that you arrived at London at 9 o'clock.
29:22The only witness that you can produce is the doorman at your club where you arrived at 10 o'clock.
29:27You say, that you spent this hour walking between King's Cross and St. James', and yet, you can describe none
29:34of the movements, no events, no street names, rien, nothing.
29:38This isn't the line I've been following at all, Poirot.
29:42What are you driving at?
29:43I am driving at a curve in the line of the local railway.
29:46A loop of iron which connects Ashby-Pickard with the little station of Ashby-Lewalkin.
29:51What?
29:52It is quite possible, Monsieur Havering, for a man to catch the 615 train at one station and get off
29:57at the next.
29:58With the aid of the bicycle, he returns to Hunter's Lodge, disguised with a beard and wearing the broad-brimmed
30:03hat.
30:04He shoots the man he wishes to shoot. Then he catches the 720 from Ashby-Pickard, a train that is
30:09faster than the 615, which will get him to London in time to be at his club by 10 o
30:13'clock.
30:14My God. You're serious, aren't you?
30:17It is a serious affair. A man has been killed and you are about to be accused of his murder.
30:23Me? You, sir.
30:26Do you not see it, Monsieur? You must tell us of your movements that night.
30:33Absolutely not. I can't.
30:36For God's sake, Roger, why not?
30:39I just can't.
30:40Well, Poirot.
30:44Carry on, Chief Inspector.
30:47I would like you to accompany me to the local police station, sir.
30:51What?
30:52I wish to question you in connection with the murder of your uncle, Mr. Harrington Pace,
30:56and with the disappearance of the housekeeper, Mrs. Middleton.
31:06Yes?
31:08It's for you, Chief Inspector.
31:13Jack.
31:17Right.
31:20What is it?
31:22They found Mrs. Middleton.
31:51It's not late, are we?
31:53No, she hasn't arrived yet.
31:57Shouldn't you be in bed?
31:59Possibly.
31:59But please, do not fuss.
32:01You look like you were at death's duel last night.
32:04Unfortunately, Chief Inspector, it was my appetite that was dead.
32:07My tetra, a languise, it was fed to the cat.
32:26Mrs. Middleton?
32:27Yes, I'm Mrs. Middleton.
32:30What have you brought me here for?
32:38The instructions from the agency were to go to Ashby Pickard by train, and I'd be met there.
32:45And the engagement would be for one month.
32:48So, I did.
32:50And I was met by a very nice Irish lady who...
32:54Irish?
32:54Are you sure?
32:55Oh, yes.
32:56She said she was Mrs. Pace.
32:58And she said there'd been an embarrassing mix-up.
33:02What sort of mix-up?
33:03She said they were cancelling the shooting this year, and there was no household for me to keep.
33:09So, anyway.
33:10She said she'd be grateful if I didn't say anything to the agency, because she didn't want them to think
33:16she was unreliable.
33:18You know.
33:19And she was very generous.
33:21She said she'd give me two months' wages in lieu if I'd agree not to put myself back on the
33:27agency books for a full month.
33:29And you agreed?
33:31Yes.
33:32She seemed very nice.
33:41You kept very quiet through all that.
33:43I am unwell.
33:44And it changes everything, this testimony of Mother Middleton.
33:47Well, it all seems pretty straightforward to me.
33:50We still have to find this other woman who pretended to be a housekeeper.
33:53Agreed?
33:55I think it would be more fruitful to find the bicycle of Monsieur Anstruther.
33:59What on earth for?
34:01Because Hastings, it was stolen to transport the murderer to Hunter's Lodge. Why has it disappeared?
34:06Sir?
34:07Sir?
34:08What is it, Forgan?
34:10It's Mr Avering, sir. He's asking to see you.
34:15I'll tell you what I was doing if you promise not to tell Zoe.
34:19Well, let's hope it won't be necessary.
34:22Well, let's hope it won't be necessary.
34:22I'll make no promises.
34:25Very well, then.
34:27I was with Lord Quornby.
34:28Lord Quornby?
34:30The racing hoe?
34:31Yes, he's chairman of the board in charge of on-course betting.
34:34I wanted him to get me off the hook.
34:37Well, buy me some time on a couple of my debts.
34:39Why were you so reluctant to tell us this?
34:42A few months ago, you see, I promised Zoe that I'd never back another horse as long as I lived.
34:48And will Lord Quornby verify that you were with him?
34:52Of course he will.
34:59Tell me, Mademoiselle Joan, on the night of the murder, when was the last time that you saw Madame Middleton?
35:06She was in the car with Mr Avering when they dropped me off at home.
35:10He was on his way to the station, and he gave her a lift over to Mr Stoddart's house.
35:16Mr Stoddart the gamekeeper?
35:18Yes, sir.
35:19Yes, of course, Mr Stoddart.
35:23You hope to be his wife one day, you know.
35:26No one's supposed to know that, sir.
35:28I comprehend.
35:30Tell me more about Madame Middleton.
35:33Oh, she was that strict.
35:35Always leaving little notes about the place, criticising.
35:39Mr Stoddart didn't like her.
35:43They used to be quite sharp with each other.
35:46Did Madame Middleton ever talk to you about herself?
35:48No, not really.
35:51She said you were from Ireland.
35:54Mayo, I think.
35:56But she always kept herself to herself, like.
36:03Mother Joanne, this apron...
36:06Oh, that's Mrs Middleton, sir.
36:08Oh, thank you.
36:10That will be all.
36:14So, when Harrington Pace was living in Ireland, he cheated his partner and ruined him.
36:19Then this mysterious woman, who was also from County Mayo, turns up and replaces Mrs Middleton.
36:26She was probably a relation of the ruined man.
36:28She opens the door to her accomplice, the fellow with the bushy beard.
36:33They kill Pace, and both of them disappear.
36:38Absolute woman, I mean.
36:42You have the story exact.
36:44Huh.
36:50In your hot countries, of course, the usual gaze hound hunts by sight.
36:56For the moistness in our way, we favour a dog that hunts by scent.
37:02I'll tell you.
37:05She's a prime example of that, aren't you?
37:08She's the best of her kind, she is.
37:11That is most interesting.
37:14Tell me, Monsieur Stadard, if you please.
37:16On the night that Monsieur Pace was killed,
37:19Mother Middleton came to your house to collect some game birds, did she not?
37:24No.
37:26Are you all right?
37:28I was expecting her.
37:30But she never arrived.
37:33I didn't see her till much later as she came running down lane to tell me about the shooting.
37:38Chief Inspector, there is at Hunter's Lodge a telephone, is there not?
37:43Yes, there is.
37:45Then why did not Madame Middleton herself telephone to the police?
37:48Why?
37:50Cross my mind, then.
37:52What she said was that Mrs. Havering was near hysterical at the horror of it.
37:57She wanted to get her to sleep before the police got there.
38:02So she sent me to fetch them.
38:04Ah, yes.
38:06She needed the time alone in the house.
38:09Yes, of course, of course.
38:13Monsieur Stadard, would you consider to involve your excellent dog in a little experiment?
38:19She is clever with her nose, you say?
38:22She's got a nose.
38:23That would scent a poppy in a bit of slurry, she has.
38:27Eh bien, Monsieur Stadard, our poppy, it is in here.
38:39It is essential that we determine the whereabouts of the person who calls herself Madame Middleton.
38:43Easier said than done. Not a glimmer. Road, rail, local gossip, nothing. That's why I think...
38:51There you up, there you up. What's a girl? What's the matter, girl, huh?
38:55What's a girl? Huh?
38:58Wait, wait, wait, wait. Where does it be?
39:01Something's been buried.
39:03Something.
39:07What's this?
39:11It's a coat.
39:16And a hat.
39:29Hey, look at this.
39:33Swipe me.
39:35Bon. Monsieur Anstruther, he will be most pleased.
39:43What a clever dog.
40:27Everyone here?
40:28In the gun room, sirs.
40:30Everyone here?
40:42Mr. Bace was not a likable man.
40:46He used his wealth to control his friends and his family.
40:52For example, Monsieur Stadard, his unacknowledged brother, he employed as a gamekeeper,
40:57but refused to lend him the 300 pounds necessary to purchase his house and to get married.
41:05His nephew, Monsieur Archie Havering, he used as an estate manager, paying him not with money, but with promises of
41:13a legacy.
41:14His other nephew, Monsieur Roger Havering, was also made to dance the attendance by assurances of wealth to come.
41:21There are, I think, here, motives for murder.
41:26N'est-ce pas?
41:27Now, look here, poor air.
41:29No, no, no, please, Monsieur Roger, I make not the accusations, I merely speculate.
41:34For instance, we know that you could not have possibly committed the murder.
41:39Because at 6.15, on that night, you were boarding a train for London.
41:56But what we did not know was that there was another passenger who also boarded that train.
42:08This person alighted from the train at the very next stop and stole the bicycle of my friends, your Anstruther.
42:16A curious thing to do, huh?
42:20Hey, that boy-boy!
42:24But the next thing that this person did was even more curious.
42:31He buried the bicycle.
42:34Then he buried all the necessary accoutrements of a bearded man.
42:42And turned himself back into Madame Middleton.
42:47Mrs. Middleton was the bearded man?
42:51But, yes, Hastings.
42:52You see, we only had the word of Madame Middleton herself that a bearded man came to the house that
42:57night.
42:58But, of course, that was not true.
42:59No, I saw him.
43:01Madame Havering, if you please, we will come to that in a minute.
43:04It's as I've said all along.
43:05We've got to find this Mrs. Middleton.
43:07Well, may I suggest that you get on and do just that?
43:11So far, all you've done is ask impertinent questions and treat respectable people like a lot of criminals!
43:17Please, Monsieur Roger, do not be in such haste.
43:20We may know that you did not commit a murder, but there are other things which are not yet so
43:23clear.
43:25This crime was of a daring most extraordinary.
43:31It had to be like clockwork.
43:33And the spurious Madame Middleton had to have an accomplice to wind the spring.
43:40I'm sorry, Mrs. Middleton.
43:41At a quarter to six on the night of the murder this spring, it was ready for release.
43:46The guests had departed.
43:49Mademoiselle Ellie had already gone home.
43:52And Mademoiselle Joan had been offered a lift in your car, Mrs. Havering.
43:57Mademoiselle Joan was duly dropped at her cottage.
44:01Madame Middleton was then to be driven to the home of Monsieur Stoddart to collect some game birds.
44:06But, of course, she never arrived.
44:09She was undergoing a transformation.
44:13It was essential, you see, that a suspect should be seen to alight from the train at the very next
44:18stop.
44:19A suspect that could well be Monsieur Roger Havering in disguise.
44:24Why should I try to incriminate myself?
44:28Because, Monsieur Havering, you had planned most carefully your alibi.
44:31Your meeting with Lord Quamby, which you would seem to have every reason for keeping secret.
44:36But once you were forced to reveal it and were released,
44:39it was most unlikely that the police would suspect you for a second time.
44:43You're talking complete rubbish.
44:45No, no, no, I think not, Monsieur Havering.
44:49You see, while you continued your journey to London,
44:53Madame Middleton returned to Hunter's Lodge.
45:01Your uncle was a very wealthy man.
45:05In time, you would inherit his fortune.
45:08But your gambling debts grew heavier and Monsieur Pace refused to bail you out.
45:12You desperately needed the money now.
45:15And so on that fateful night, Monsieur Pace was shot in cold blood.
45:25Prove it!
45:29You just prove it.
45:31That is a lying slander.
45:33You're going to find yourself in court, Mr. Bloody Poirot.
45:36And who is this Mrs. Middleton I meant to have been an accomplice of?
45:39You can't even find her.
45:40So you're busy yourself accusing everybody else.
45:42You think that Hercule Poirot is unable to find this mysterious Madame Middleton?
45:50Hercule Poirot knows a way to make Madame Middleton appear in our midst as if by magic.
46:00You do not believe in magic.
46:03Very well.
46:04I have only to tap with my cane.
46:09On the floor three times.
46:13Thus.
46:15Un.
46:17Deux.
46:21Trois!
46:34Hi, Doctor Sean.
46:50No worries.
46:50No worries.
46:50Have Mr.
46:50You supere am I?
46:54Please don't even," Is Os besser than you?"
47:03No worries.
47:04Silly dog, what's it doing?
47:11Will somebody take it away?
47:16Stop it!
47:21Stop it!
47:22It's all right, Zoe.
47:27Come on, go. Come on, heal!
47:32I don't know what your silly game is,
47:34but it seems to have gone horribly wrong.
47:36Now, leave her alone!
47:38Zoe had nothing well ever to do with this, Mrs. Middleton!
47:41On the contrary, Mr. Archie.
47:44Madame Havering had a very close relationship
47:46with the housekeeper, Madame Middleton.
47:49The odd thing about it being
47:51was that they were never once seen together.
47:56This temporary housekeeper
47:58had only recently been employed
48:00for the family stay at Hunter's Lodge.
48:03She left little notes for the servants
48:06and kept herself to herself.
48:10If the mistress was at home,
48:12the housekeeper was absent.
48:14When the housekeeper was downstairs,
48:16the mistress was in her room.
48:19And that is where,
48:21on the night of the murder,
48:23after she had been interviewed by the police,
48:25Madame Middleton disappeared forever
48:28from the face of the earth.
48:41Because it was you, Madame Zoe Havering.
48:46Together with your husband,
48:48you planned and carried out this murder ingenious.
48:51Together,
48:52you plotted to rid yourselves
48:54of your uncle that was hated
48:55and to lay your hands at last
48:57on his money.
49:00I must ask you both to come with me
49:02to the police station.
49:03How dare you?
49:05This has gone far enough.
49:07I do not intend to stand idly by it.
49:09Oh, shut up, Roger!
49:34But why did she have to bury the bicycle?
49:36How could she leave it lying around, Hastings?
49:38If it was found,
49:40and identified by Mr. Anstrada,
49:42as the bicycle that was stolen
49:43outside the railway station,
49:45then it would show that the murderer
49:47was still close to Hunter's Lodge.
49:51Oh, hello, Mr. Poirot.
49:53Mr. Anstrada?
49:54The blackberry teeth did the trick, then?
49:56It did indeed, Monsieur.
49:57It also stimulated the little grey cells
49:59to such an extent
50:00that it enabled me to track down your bicycle.
50:05It's a bit of a bloomy mess, isn't it?
50:07Yes, it got buried.
50:10Buried?
50:11Buried.
50:12It's all covered in mud and mould.
50:15And I regret that I did not have the time
50:16to clean it for you, Monsieur.
50:18I don't know as I could be seen
50:19riding about on a thing like that.
50:21That mudguard's all bent, too.
50:25Mr. Anstrada,
50:26do you or do you not want your bicycle?
50:29Oh.
50:31Oh, just leave it there.
50:33I'll see if the boy can do anything with it.
50:40Is this gratitude, Hastings?
50:43Is it for this that Hercule Poirot
50:44exerts his talents on behalf of the world?
50:46You expect gratitude?
50:48Don't make me laugh.
50:49Now you know what a real detective feels like.
50:53A real detective?
50:56Chief Inspector Jap,
50:57it's truly most amusing.
50:59Do you not think, Hastings?
51:00Oh, yes.
51:00Most amusing.
51:01For a policeman.
51:04For a policeman.
51:10For a policeman.
51:13For a policeman.
51:35For a man who had no son of a woman
51:36Ladonna Is strong to put around his house.
51:38Do you know that he doesn't care
51:39he's bald or how to tell him?
51:50You said you were a bitch.
51:53You're an open suspect.
51:53It's too late.
51:53He was a waiter,
51:54He was a builder.
51:54Withacs, he was a friend.
51:54A human life, nobody ever replied.
