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.
04:13Hey.
04:29Pinch your shoulder.
04:30Tide.
04:31Stroke the cheek.
04:32Stroke the cheek.
04:33Tide.
04:33Right.
04:34Ninety-degree angle.
04:36Now break.
04:38Well, let's hope for a good bag.
04:40They're breaking, Mr. Pace.
04:42Here they come.
04:59Dammit.
05:14Mr. Poilot.
05:16Mr. Poilot.
05:18Mr. 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.
06:06Slowed.
06:08Quick.
06:09Ha.
06:13Watch him stutter!
06:17Ah!
06:19You've hit Mr. Pace.
06:22Mr. Pace!
06:24You 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!
06:49Will 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 pro-ten.
07:17Mr. Poirot?
07:20May I entrust you with a task?
07:22Madame.
07:23Look 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 seems snowing up on the moor, you know.
08:32Others will be here in about half an hour.
08:37Mrs. Middleton?
08:38Mrs. Middleton?
08:57Follow-up.
09:00For two hours I'm waiting in the snow Hastings.
09:03The ice it is falling on my bones.
09:11Ah, a log fire. One of the better traditions of the English.
09:18Roger was saying you keep an eye on the place for the family.
09:20Yes, I'm local. Poor 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, where's my wife, do you know?
09:38She'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. Not with Zoe.
09:51Will you have some more punch, girls?
09:52Thank you, Mr Kate.
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 balshi, you know.
10:15Asked me, had I actually made anything during my worthless life?
10:21Certainly, I said.
10:23I made a lot of friends, I made a lot of enemies, and I made a lot of money.
10:33You all right, Poirier?
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.
10:43Um, uh, au revoir, Monsieur Poirier.
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 Poirier, goodbye.
11:01Ah, Monsieur 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.
11:13Thanks.
11:14If his hand gets better, I'm sure it will.
11:18Bye, Archie. Take care.
11:20Oh, 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.
11:35Yes, indeed.
11:37Well, uh...
11:40Bye, then.
12:09I'll get myself ready, then I'll be off to London now.
12:12It 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.
12:33Mm.
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.
12:40I'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 Stoddard'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.
13:31What?
13:52Colleague?
13:54This is the 6.58, putting your home stations to London, King's Cross.
13:59Come on.
14:49Oh, you stay there.
14:52You stay.
15:03Oh, you stay there.
15:10Oh, you stay there.
15:41There we go.
15:54Hey, is that my boy?
16:40Oh, my God.
16:50Mr. Stoddard!
16:53Mr. Stoddard!
16:56Fetch the police.
16:58There's been a shooting.
16:59Go!
17:02Go!
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.
17:51And 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, like I always do with
17:58visitors.
17:59Yes?
17:59I went back into the living room and started clearing up, and 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.
18:33Come in, Hastings.
18:38There's been a murder.
18:40Who has been murdered?
18:41Arrington Pace, up at Hunter's Lodge.
18:43Shot with one of his own revolvers.
18:50You're still not well, Poirot.
18:53I must confess I feel a little weak.
18:56You go back into bed now.
19:01You can leave this to me.
19:02Come on.
19:04This investigation, you can leave it to me.
19:06I'll report back to you, of course.
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!
19:41That's all, Sarge.
19:53Jack, Scotland Yard.
19:55Sergeant Fogun, Ashby Pickard.
19:58Pleasant 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.
20:20He'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.
20:34Hmm.
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 awfully sorry.
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...
21:51I will do my best to assist.
21:55One thing, Mr. 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.
22:14You talked to anyone on the train?
22:17No.
22:18You arrived at your club at what time?
22:21About 10 o'clock.
22:22Actually, it was a bit later.
22:23I walked down from King's Cross.
22:25Uh, it's fine.
22:31Hastings.
22:35We'll get on up to the launch, Poirot.
22:39Very well, Hastings.
22:59Hello, reception desk.
23:00Uh, 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...
23:25waited for Mrs. Middleton to show him into the gunroom and come and announce him.
23:29What did he look like?
23:31Averageish height.
23:33Hat.
23:35Specs, I think.
23:37I couldn't be sure.
23:39Beard.
23:40What sort of beard?
23:42Bushy.
23:44He 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.
23:59Well, Mrs. Middleton knocked a minute later, said the man wouldn't give his name, but wanted
24:06to see Mr. Pace.
24:17The housekeeper, Mrs. Middleton, she was in the room with you, was she?
24:21Yes.
24:22She was clearing the drinks glasses.
24:24Did this man arrive by car?
24:28Did this man arrive by car?
24:28I don't know.
24:29I didn't hear anything.
24:31Would you normally hear a car arriving?
24:33Oh, yes.
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.
25:48Thank you very much, Mr. Anstruther.
25:50Come in.
25:53Ah, Chief, it's back to the jet.
25:55Ah, here's things.
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, and don't forget my bike, will you?
26:14Certainly not.
26:15That bike means a lot to me, that bike does.
26:18Man and boy, I've had that bike.
26:21Au revoir.
26:24Boirot, 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.
26:43Oh, 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.
27:01Yes, a man of medium height, wearing a broad-brimmed hat, sporting a beard that is large and fluffy.
27:06How did you know that?
27:08Because that is a description of the man who stole the bicycle of Mr. Anstruther.
27:11It is essential that we find it, Hastings.
27:15Oh, 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 are you implying?
27:38Look, I'm sorry about this.
27:39I'm 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'd want to kill a man like my Uncle Harry?
27:53I'll tell you, he was beneath contempt.
27:58Mean, selfish.
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's cheated his partner and County Mayo, then used the money for profiteering in the war.
28:21And people liked him!
28:24He boasted about it and people applauded.
28:29I want to go close after a he enjoyed it.
28:30Fill it open!
28:34Fill it open!
28:36Fill it open loop!
28:40Fill it open air!
28:42Fill it open door!

28:57hello chief inspector ah how's the cold poirot it is not a cold it is a deadly fever

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 nine o'clock the only witness that you
29:23can produce is a doorman at your club where you arrived at ten o'clock you say that you spent
29:29this
29:30hour walking between king's cross and st james's and yet you can describe none of the movements
29:35no events no street names rien nothing this isn't the line i've been following at all poirot
29:42what are you driving at i 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
29:52what it is quite possible monsieur havering for a man to catch the 615 train at one station and get
29:57off at the next with the aid of the bicycle he returns to hunter's lodge disguised with a beard
30:02and wearing the broad-brimmed hat he shoots the man he wishes to shoot then he catches the 720 from
30:08ashby pickard a train that is faster than the 615 which will get him to london in time to be
30:12at
30:12his club by ten o'clock my god you're serious aren't you it is a serious affair a man has
30:20been killed

32:03unfortunately chief inspector it was my appetite that was dead my tetra
32:08how long was it was fed to the cat
32:26mrs middleton yes i'm mrs middleton what 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 and the
32:46engagement would be for one month so i did and i was met by a very nice irish lady irish
32:54are you
32:55sure oh yes she said she was mrs pace and she said there'd been an embarrassing mix-up what sort
33:03of
33:03mix-up she said they were cancelling the shooting this year and there was no household for me to keep
33:09so anyway she said she'd be grateful if i didn't say anything to the agency because she didn't want them
33:16to think she was unreliable you know and she was very generous she said she'd give me two months wages
33:24in
33:24lieu if i'd agree not to put myself back on the agency books for a full month and you agree
33:31yes she seemed very nice
33:41you kept very quiet through all that i am unwell and it changes everything this testimony of
33:47mother middleton well it all seems pretty straightforward to me we still have to find
33:50this other woman who pretended to be a housekeeper agreed i think it would be more fruitful to find the
33:57bicycle of mr anstruther what on earth for because hastings it was stolen to transport the murderer to
34:03hunter's lodge why has it disappeared sir sir what is it forgan mr avering sir he's asking to see you

35:10he was on his way to the station and he gave her a lift over to mr stoddard's house mr
35:17stoddard the
35:17gamekeeper yes yes of course monsieur stoddard you hope to be his wife one day you know no one's supposed
35:27to know that sir i comprehend tell me more about madame middleton oh she was that strict always leaving
35:36little notes about the place criticizing mr stoddard didn't like her i used to be quite short with
35:44each other did madame middleton ever talk to you about herself no not really she said you were from
35:52ireland mayo i think but she always kept herself to herself like
36:02mother joan this paper oh that's mrs middleton sir oh thank you that will be all
36:14so when harrington pace was living in ireland he cheated his partner and ruined
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 she opens the door to her accomplice
36:31the fellow with the bushy beard they kill pace and both of them disappear
36:38absolute woman i mean
36:42you have the story exact
36:50in your hot countries of course they use your gaze how and hunts by sight
36:56with the moistness in our air we favor 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 that is most interesting
37:14tell me monsieur stardard if you please on the night that monsieur pace was killed mother middleton
37:19came to your house to collect some game birds did she not
37:23no
37:26are you right
37:28i was expecting her
37:30she never arrived
37:33i didn't see her too much later when 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 yes there is
37:44no matter what 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 so she sent me to fetch them
38:04ah yes she needed the time alone in the house yes of course of course
38:13monsieur stardard would you consider to involve your excellent dog in a little experiment
38:20she is clever with her nose you say she's got a nose that would scent a poppy in a bit
38:25of slurry
38:26she has
38:27it 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
38:50there you're up there you're up there you're up what's a girl what's about a girl huh
39:01something's been buried something
39:11it's a coat
39:16and a hat
39:20a hat
39:31look at this
39:33swipe me
39:35boom
39:36monsieur anstruther he will be most pleased
39:44what a clever dog
39:54Let's go.
40:27Everyone here?
40:28In the goon room, sir.
40:41Monsieur Harrington Pace was not a likable man.
40:46He used his wealth to control his friends and his family.
40:52For example, Monsieur Stoddard, 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?
41:28Now, look here, Poirier.
41:29No, no, no, please, Monsieur Roger.
41:31I make not the accusations.
41:32I merely speculate.
41:34For instance, we know that you could not have possibly committed a murder because at 6.15, on that night,
41:43you 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 friend, Monsieur Anstrader.
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?
42:50But yes, Hastings.
42:52You see, we only have the word of Madame Middleton herself
42:55that a bearded man came to the house that night.
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
43:14and 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,
43:22but there are other things which are not yet so clear.
43:25This crime was of a daring most extraordinary.
43:30It had to be like clockwork.
43:33And the spurious Madame Middleton
43:36had 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,
43:44it 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,
43:55Monsieur Havering.
43:57Mademoiselle Joan was duly dropped at her cottage.
44:01Madame Middleton was then to be driven to the home of Monsieur Stoddart
44:04to collect some game birds.
44:06But of course, she never arrived.
44:09She was undergoing a transformation.
44:13It was essential, you see,
44:14that the suspect should be seen to alight from the train at the very next stop.
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,
44:33which 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
45:09and Monsieur Pace refused to bail you out.
45:12You desperately needed the money now.
45:15And so on that fateful night,
45:18Monsieur 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
45:37I meant to have been an accomplice of?
45:39You can't even find her.
45:40So you busy yourself accusing everybody else.
45:42You think that Hercule Poirot is unable to find
45:45this mysterious Madame Middleton?
45:50Hercule Poirot knows a way
45:53to make Madame Middleton appear in our midst as if by magic.
46:00You do not believe in magic.
46:03Very well.
46:05I have only to tap with my cane
46:10on the floor three times.
46:13Thus,
46:14un,
46:17deux,
46:21trois.
46:49can we not stop this charade chief inspector i don't know sir i've always enjoyed party games
47:04silly dog what's it doing
47:11will somebody take it away
47:16stop it
47:21stop it
47:22it's all right sir
47:32don't know what your silly game is it seems to have gone horribly wrong now leave her alone
47:38so we had nothing whatever to do with this mrs middleton
47:41on the contrary monsieur archie madame havering had a very close relationship with the housekeeper
47:47madame middleton the odd thing about it being was that they were never once seen together
47:55this temporary housekeeper had only recently been employed for the family stay at hunter's
48:02lodge she left little notes for the servants and kept herself to herself
48:10if the mistress was at home the housekeeper was absent when the housekeeper was downstairs
48:16the mistress was in her room and that is where on the night of the murder after she had been
48:24interviewed by the police madame middleton disappeared forever from the face of the earth
48:41because it was you
48:44madame zoe havering
48:46together with your husband you planned and carried out this murder ingenious
48:50together
48:52you plotted to rid yourselves of 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 to the police station
49:03how dare you this has gone far enough i do not intend to stand idly by
49:08oh shut up roger
49:34but why did she have to bury the bicycle how could she leave it lying around hastings if it was
49:39found
49:40and identified by mr hanstrada as the bicycle that was stolen outside the railway station
49:45then it would show that the murderer was still close to hunter's lodge
49:51oh hello mr farrow
49:53mr hanstrada
49:54blackberry tea did the trick then
49:56it did indeed monsieur
49:57it also stimulated the little gray cells to such an extent that 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

50:21that mud guard's all bent too
50:25it's your hanstrada
50:26do you or do you not want your bicycle

50:32or see if the boy can do anything with it
50:40is this gratitude estates
50:43is it for this that dr quereau exerts his talents on behalf of the world
50:46you expect gratitude

50:53a real detective
50:55a real detective
