01:43They'll source you out her order.
01:49Stoddard!
01:51Hastings?
01:52Ah, thank you.
01:53Hastings?
01:56Now, I shall need at least six.
01:59No, no, no, no. Eight.
02:00For the tetras and languises.
02:01I shall ask the hotel to cook us some tomorrow.
02:04It's not like ordering them in a shop, Poirot.
02:06I've got to shoot the damn things.
02:08I have every faith in your marksmanship, Hastings.
02:11You ready, old man?
02:13Ah, Roger.
02:14Mr. Poirot, it's taken me ten years to get him up onto Uncle Harry's moor.
02:18I don't want you missing the drive.
02:20I'm ready.
02:21For God's sake, Harry, it's not much.
02:24It doesn't mean I can marry again.
02:27Three hundred pounds is nothing to you.
02:30Looked bloody odd, wouldn't it, Jack?
02:32Me putting that sort of money in the way of my maid and my gamekeeper.
02:36Damn you.
02:38I sometimes wonder which of us was born the bastard.
02:44Jack!
02:50Stoddard!
02:51Yes, Mr. Roger?
02:52Look after Mr. Archie, will you?
02:55Aye, aye, sir.
02:56Right, Mr. Archie.
02:57Right, sir.
02:58Have a look here.
02:59John, what do you think?
03:04Good luck, darling.
03:06Hmm.
03:10Oh, chance, mon amie.
03:11Thanks, old man.
03:20Good shooting, Archie.
03:23Thanks, sir.
03:33Poor old Archie.
03:36Hasn't a clue, I'm afraid.
03:37He's your cousin, isn't he?
03:39Yes.
03:40You've seen the guns he turned up with.
03:44Still, he's only a school teacher, so on his salary,
03:47what could you expect?
03:49Now, this is you, old man.
03:51Good shooting.
03:52Thanks.
04:11Good shooting.
04:24Fire.
04:25Fire.
04:26Fire.
04:26Fire.
04:27Fire.
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.
04:43From here.
04:56Get off run the chopper.
04:58Come fall.
05:02Let's hope for a gun.
05:05You don't have a gun.Ø°
05:14Monsieur Poilot. Monsieur Poilot.
05:18Oh, pardon, madame.
05:22The popping, you know.
05:24But why did you come, Monsieur Poilot? The red grass.
05:28It must be eaten fresh while the gun is still smoking, as we say.
05:35Ah, gourmet. You are too kind, madame Havering,
05:38but it is most rare in my country, the tetras. We make do with
05:41la gelie, not the wood grass, but the flavor it is piney.
05:46Piney?
05:47Yes, this is not a word, piney, like, like the pine trees.
05:51Oh, piney.
05:53Yes.
05:56It's a very good word.
06:03Here we are, sir.
06:07Slowed, quick.
06:13Watch him, Studdard!
06:19You've hit Mr. Pace!
06:22Mr. Pace!
06:24You bloody fool!
06:29You bloody, bloody fool!
06:32You damn near kill me!
06:35And what 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.
07:07Well, 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 you went back to his little cottage and brooded.
07:28He will not be able to brood in the company of Hercule Poirot, madame.
07:33You are a treasure.
08:08Ellie, where's Mrs. Middleton?
08:10Up 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.
08:24I'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 up.
09:00For two hours, I am waiting in the snow, Hastings.
09:03The ice, it is falling 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, I'm local.
09:22Poor relation is available.
09:25Damn infidious 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?
09:39She'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.
09:50Will 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.
10:07Don't think I'll take up grouse shooting as a career.
10:09Delighted to hear it.
10:11The 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,
10:25and I've made a lot of money.
10:32You all right, Poirot?
10:34My feet hastings are still blocks of ice.
10:36My lungs, they are full of the gum powder and the fresh air,
10:39my ears are full of the popping and I am ill.
10:42No, I am not all right hastings, not at all.
10:44Um, uh...
10:46Au revoir, Monsieur 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, Monsieur Havery.
11:03Goodbye.
11:05Next year, we'll put you up with the house.
11:07No, the hotel's fine.
11:08It's very comfortable.
11:09Bye, Roger.
11:10Bye.
11:12Cheerio.
11:13Thanks.
11:14Until his hand gets better.
11:16I'm sure it will.
11:18Bye, Archie.
11:19Take care.
11:20Oh, God.
11:22I'm sorry.
11:24It's all right.
11:26I'm all right.
11:27Are you all right, Zoe?
11:29Oh, yes.
11:30I had a filthy earache.
11:31I'm fine now.
11:33Take care of yourself, Archie.
11:34Yes.
11:35Yes, indeed.
11:38Well, uh...
11:41Bye, then.
12:09I'll get myself ready, then.
12:11I'll be off to London, Annie.
12:12We 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 Stoddard'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.
12:39All right.
12:40I'll do it.
12:42Mrs. Middleton?
12:43Joan.
12:44Would you like a lift, too?
12:47Mr. Haven could drop you off on the way to Mr. Stoddard's.
12:49Oh, thank you, Mum.
12:51Come along, then.
13:09I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it, Poirot.
13:13My enjoyment is yet to come, Hastings.
13:16I have given to the chef his instructions.
13:19What's that?
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.
13:33Whew.
13:52All aboard.
13:54This is the 6.58.
13:56Put your home stations to London.
13:58King's Cross.

21:39He's feeling a bit poorly.
21:41So I'm handling the case.
21:43Well, we must keep him informed.
21:47I am profoundly ill, as you can see,
21:49but I will do my best to assist.
21:55One thing, Mr. Havering, if you please.
21:58Yes.
21:59Pardon, but what were you doing when your uncle was killed?
22:03Oh, it's all right.

26:43oh yes

26:47how can I Chief Inspector I 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?
27:08that is a description of the man who stole the bicycle of Mr. Anstruther
27:11it is essential that we find it Hastings
27:14oh
27:15right
27:16find what?
27:20the bicycle
27:22also I am most anxious to establish
27:24whether or not Mr. Archie Havering had an alibi for the time that Mr. Pace was shot
27:33you didn't really like your uncle did you?
27:36what do you imply?
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
27:44at 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?
27:53tell 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
28:06his own blood
28:07and he used him like a servant
28:11how did he get his money in the first place?
28:14I'll tell you
28:15he cheated his partner in county Mayo
28:18then used the money for profiteering in the war
28:20and people liked him
28:24he boasted about it and people applauded
28:28making dinner
28:30I can't deny
28:33fucking
28:35fucking
28:35and
28:55folks
28:56Hello?
28:58Chief Inspector.
29:00Ah, how'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
29:2610 o'clock.
29:27You say that you spent this hour walking between King's Cross and St. James', and yet you can
29:33describe none of 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 Picard 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
29:57and get off at the next.
29:58With the aid of the bicycle, he returns to Hunter's Lodge, disguised with a beard and
30:02wearing the broad-brimmed hat.
30:04He shoots the man he wishes to shoot.
30:06Then he catches the 720 from Ashby-Picard, a train that is faster than the 615, which
30:11will get him to London in time to be at his club by 10 o'clock.
30:14My God.
30:16You're serious, aren't you?
30:17It is a serious affair.
30:19A man has been killed and you are about to be accused of his murder.
30:23Me?
30:24You, sir.
30:26Do you not see it, Monsieur?
30:29You must tell us of your movements that night.
30:33Absolutely not.
30:35I can't.
30:36For God's sake, Roger, why not?
30:38I 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.
31:25Your from us, Sir.
31:28My son.
31:35He's been here.
31:39Sir.
31:40It's not late.
31:40We are late.
31:44Not late, are we?
31:44About.
31:44I am sorry, George.
31:44I've been sitting here.
31:46It's been done, Reverend.
31:47I'm back in the housekeeper's office.
31:47You've been done, don't look like the new housekeeper's office.
31:47I've been here.
31:47The new housekeeper's office is basically the one housekeeper of the housekeeper's office.
31:49I've been here today.
31:51It's been a long night, I've been here.
31:52Not late, are we?
31:53About.
31:53She hasn't arrived yet.
31:57Shouldn't you be in bed?
31:59Possibly. But please, do not fuss.
32:01You look like you were at death's door last night.
32:04Unfortunately, Chief Inspector, it was my appetite that was dead.
32:07My tetra, our langoise, it was fed to the cat.
32:26Mrs Middleton?
32:27Yes, I'm Mrs Middleton.
32:30What have you brought me here for?
32:39The instructions from the agency were to go to Ashby Pickard by train,
32:44and 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? Are 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?
33:04She said they were cancelling the shooting this year
33:06and 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
33:15because she didn't want them to think she was unreliable.
33:18You know.
33:18And she was very generous.
33:21She said she'd give me two months' wages in lieu
33:25if I'd agree not to put myself back on the agency books for a full month.
33:29And you agree?
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 Madam Middleton.
33:48Well, 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.
34:04Why has it disappeared?
34:06Sir?
34:07Sir?
34:08What is it, Forgan?
34:10It's Mr. Avering, sir.
34:11He'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.
34:22I'll make no promises.
34:25Very well, then.
34:27I was with Lord Quornby.
34:29Lord Quornby?
34:30The racer now?
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.
34:40Why 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,
35:03when was the last time that you saw Madam Middleton?
35:06She was in the car with Mr. Avering when they dropped me off at home.
35:11He 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.
35:20Yes, 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.
35:31Tell me more about Madam Middleton.
35:33Oh, she was that strict.
35:35Always leaving little notes about the place, criticising.
35:39Mr. Stoddart didn't like her.
35:42I used to be quite sharp with each other.
35:46Did Madam Middleton ever talk to you about herself?
35:49No, 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's, sir.
36:09Oh.
36:10That will be all.
36:14Mr. Stoddart.
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.
36:29She opens the door to her accomplice.
36:31The fellow with the bushy beard.
36:33They kill Pace.
36:34And both of them disappear.
36:38Absolument, mon ami.
36:42You have the story exact.
36:45Oh.
36:50In your hot countries, of course.
36:52They use your gaze, Howard.
36:54Hunts by sight.
36:56But with the moistness in our air, we favour a dog that hunts by scent.
37:02And I 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, Mr. Stoddart, if you please.
37:16On the night that Monsieur Pace was killed,
37:18Mother Middleton came to your house to collect some game birds.
37:22Did she not?
37:24No.
37:26Are you right?
37:28I was expecting her.
37:30But she never arrived.
37:33I didn't see her too much later,
37:34when she came running down lane to tell me about the shooting.
37:39Chief Inspector,
37:40there 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?
37:48Aye.
37:50Cross my mind, then.
37:52What she said was that Mrs. Havering was near hysterical at the horror of it.
37:58She wanted to get her to sleep before the police got there.
38:02So she sent me to fetch them.
38:05Ah, yes.
38:06She needed the time alone in the house.
38:09Yes, of course, of course.
38:13Monsieur Stadard,
38:15would you consider to involve your excellent dog in a little experiment?
38:20She 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,
38:29our poppy,
38:31it 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.
38:45Not a glimmer.
38:46Road, rail, local gossip, nothing.
38:49That's why I think...
38:51Eh-oh, eh-oh.
38:52What's the girl?
38:53What's the matter, girl, eh?
38:55What's the girl, eh?
38:58What is it like?
38:58What, what, what, what is it like?
39:01Something's been buried.
39:03Some...thing.
39:07What's this?
39:11It's a called.
39:16And a hat.
39:31Hey, look at this.
39:33Swipe me.
39:35Bon.
39:36Monsieur Anstruther, he will be most pleased.
39:44What a clever dog.
39:54It's a good one.
40:27Everyone here?
40:28In the gun 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,
40:56he employed as a gamekeeper,
40:57but refused to lend him the 300 pounds necessary
41:00to purchase his house and to get married.
41:05His nephew, Monsieur Archie Havering,
41:08he used as an estate manager,
41:11paying him not with money, but with promises of a legacy.
41:14His other nephew, Monsieur Roger Havering,
41:16was also made to dance the attendance
41:18by 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. I merely speculate.
41:34For instance, we know that you could not have possibly committed a murder.
41:38Because, at 6.15, on that night,
41:43you were boarding a train for London.
41:56But what we did not know
41:59was that there was another passenger who also boarded that train.
42:08This person alighted from the train at the very next stop
42:12and stole the bicycle of my friend, Monsieur Anstruther.
42:16A curious thing to do, huh?
42:20Hey, that's my 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.
42:48Mrs Middleton was the bearded man?
42:51But, yes, Hastings.
42:52You see, we only had 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.
43:47The guests had departed.
43:49Mademoiselle Ellie had already gone home.
43:52And Mademoiselle Joan had been offered a lift in your car, Monsieur Habering.
43:57Mademoiselle Joan was duly dropped at her cottage.
44:01Madame Middleton was then to be driven to the home of Monsieur Stoddard
44:04to collect some game birds, but of course she never arrived.
44:09She was undergoing a transformation.
44:13It was essential, you see,
44:14that a 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.
44:46No, 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.
45:02Your 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.
45:13You 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 Porro.
45:35And 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.
46:15Un.
46:17Deux.
46:20One.
46:22Two.
46:23Two.
46:25Two.
46:28Three.
46:37Three.
46:43Eight.
46:43Three.
46:49Can we now stop this charade, Chief Inspector?
46:54I 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.
47:27Come on, go. Come on, here.
47:30Good girl.
47:32I don't know what your silly game is, but 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, Monsieur Archie.
47:44Madame Havering had a very close relationship with the housekeeper, Madame Middleton.
47:48The odd thing about it being was that they were never once seen together.
47:56This temporary housekeeper had only recently been employed for the family's stay at Hunter's Lodge.
48:03She left little notes for the servants and kept herself to herself.
48:10If the mistress was at home, the housekeeper was absent.
48:14When the housekeeper was downstairs, the mistress was in her room.
48:19And that is where, on the night of the murder, after she had been interviewed by the police, Madame Middleton
48:27disappeared forever from the face of the earth.
48:41Because it was you, Madame Zoe Havering.
48:46Together with your husband, you planned and carried out this murder ingenious.
48:52Together, you plotted to rid yourselves of your uncle that was hated and to lay your hands at last on
48:57his 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...
49:09Oh, shut up, Roger!
49:34But why did she have to bury the bicycle?
49:36How could she leave it lying around, Hastings?
49:39If it was found and identified by Mr. Anstrada 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. Poirot.
49:53Mr. Anstrada?
49:54The blackberry tea did the trick, then?
49:56It did indeed, Monsieur.
49:57It also stimulated the little grey 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?
50:08Yes, 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 to clean it for you, Monsieur.
50:17I don't know as I could be seen riding about anything like that.
50:21That mudguard's all bent, too.
50:25Mr. Anstrada, do 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 exerts his talents on behalf of the world?
50:46You expect gratitude?
50:48Don't make me laugh.
50:50Now you know what a real detective feels like.
50:53A real detective?
50:54Chief.
50:56Chief Inspector Jap, he's truly most amusing.
50:59Do you not think, Hastings?
51:00Oh, yes.
51:01Most amusing.
51:02For a policeman.
51:34I don't know...
51:38This year...
51:39I am about to certainly make mistakes...
51:39Hope to follow you very soon.
51:39In, in referent and infuse...
51:40How many cars, years in power will,
51:41The fact that the wreck of your car against us...
51:41How many cars when it's filled at the� sparkly?
51:43Of the ground?
51:46How many cars do you know?
51:46We know the cars that come in.
