00:00:25MGM presents.
00:00:26.
00:00:32As Hercule Poirot, the Belgian sleuth.
00:00:36Au revoir.
00:00:42No, no, no, no!
00:00:43Don't try to sneak up on Poirot, my friend.
00:00:45It could be dangerous.
00:00:48Oh, I know that normally, wherever Poirot goes,
00:00:51there is intrigue, excitement, murder.
00:00:54But not here, not today, not today, not today.
00:00:56London? No, I'm here actually, simply to see my tailor. Now, if you'd been with me
00:01:01last week in Istanbul. Well, but there we are. I'm sorry. Again? Over.
00:01:15Please do not follow Poirot. This is London. Nothing is going to happen. Goodbye.

00:06:21in. Notice the crease. It also tugs. I'm afraid we have only two alternatives.
00:06:29Either we resume smoking or we diet. I shall do neither.
00:06:52Oh, my God.
00:07:36Thank you, Cracknell.
00:07:38Here he is, sir, snooping about just like you said he would be.
00:07:41Well, you picked well for a discreet killing, my friend.
00:07:44Very professional.
00:07:45What have you to say for yourself?
00:07:48Come on, speak up.
00:07:50Doesn't seem to want to talk, sir.
00:07:52You're Anne, Cracknell.
00:07:55Well, explain yourself.
00:08:15I'm neither French, Italian, German, Greek, Spanish or Burmese.
00:08:19I happen to be an Englishman.
00:08:21Then you have disgraced yourself.
00:08:24How so, pray?
00:08:25One does not expect an Englishman to be an assassin.
00:08:28Good heavens, I haven't come here to assassinate you.
00:08:30I've come here to protect you.
00:08:32Protect me, indeed.
00:08:34I've never heard such an extraordinary assertion.
00:08:35Can you support such a statement?
00:08:37Certainly.
00:08:38Would you care to see my credentials?
00:08:49As you see, I am temporally attached to the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries.
00:08:55Thank you, Cracknell.
00:09:03Sir Edward, your chief, old Teddy Stingwell.
00:09:09Is that his name?
00:09:11Hmm.
00:09:11I've always known him as X.
00:09:13Really?
00:09:14What is the interest of the British Secret Service in Porrow?
00:09:18Her Majesty's government seems to think that you're a very important person and as such
00:09:21are entitled to protection.
00:09:23Ah.
00:09:24I understand you're not very popular with the criminal classes.
00:09:27No.
00:09:28It would be the most almighty top-level fuss, you know, if you were stabbed, shot or blown
00:09:32up or indeed suffer any inconvenience while on British soil.
00:09:36Yes.
00:09:37Yes, I suppose it would, actually.
00:09:44Well, in that case, I suppose you must join me in a massage, my faithful bulldog.
00:09:52One never knows, does one?
00:09:54You know, I once found a black widow in my bed.
00:09:59Black widow in his bed?
00:10:01Well, I don't know why you should object to that unless she wasn't very...
00:10:04Black widow in her bed.
00:10:12Ah.
00:10:15Ah, Cracknell.
00:10:17Be ruthless, Cracknell.
00:10:19Be merciless.
00:10:20Oh, oh, oh.
00:10:22Too loud.
00:10:23Mr. Poirot.
00:10:26There's going to be murder.
00:10:28This is a segregated establishment. You should be on the other side of the building.
00:10:31There's going to be murder.
00:10:32Oh?
00:10:33I'm frightened. That's why I'm here. I'm terribly frightened.
00:10:36Oh, you think someone is going to kill you, eh?
00:10:37No, I'm going to kill somebody.
00:10:40No more massage, please.
00:10:41I can't help it, you see. I must kill.
00:10:43Astings!
00:10:47Astings!
00:10:47Don't fall out, Monsieur Poirot!
00:10:52Astings! Astings!
00:10:55Don't do that, Monsieur Poirot! Don't do that!
00:10:57You mustn't do that! You can't do that!
00:10:59Astings!
00:11:00I've killed this morning already a man. His initials were eh-eh.
00:11:04Eh-eh-eh-eh?
00:11:05I've killed before. I must kill again.
00:11:08Astings! Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:11:11Astings!
00:11:12Don't do that!
00:11:13Cracknell! Cracknell!
00:11:15Oh!
00:11:16Don't!
00:11:19I am sorry, sir.
00:11:20Cracknell! Help me!
00:11:23How, sir?
00:11:23I don't know this woman!
00:11:25Oh, yeah, woman!

00:16:52What size?
00:16:52I'm afraid I don't know the size.
00:16:54I usually have my shoes made for me.
00:16:56Well, if you don't mind getting to the back of the queue, sir, we'll see if we can knock
00:17:00you up there.
00:17:11Looking for someone to play with?
00:17:14I am looking for someone, actually, yes.
00:17:16Well, this someone is Betty Barnard.
00:17:18I'm very pleased to meet you, Miss Barnard.
00:17:20But I'm expecting someone.
00:17:22It seems she's stood you up, doesn't it?
00:17:24It would seem so, yes.
00:17:27Maybe you can help me.
00:17:29It rather depends on what you have in mind.
00:17:31I'll be off in a few minutes.
00:17:33Got a cigarette?
00:17:39Egyptian on the right, Virginian on the left.
00:17:44Solid go.
00:17:45Hercule from Daniel.
00:17:46Daniel, who's Daniel?
00:17:48La Comtesse de Saurigny is the most beautiful woman in Europe, actually.
00:17:51Light?
00:17:52Of course.
00:18:02Won't you join me?
00:18:03No, thank you.
00:18:04I've given them up.
00:18:04Then why do you carry them with you?
00:18:06To strengthen my willpower.
00:18:09What good is willpower?
00:18:16May I have my cigarette case, please?
00:18:18How much is it worth?
00:18:20It is beyond price.
00:18:23It's mine.
00:18:24And this is mine.
00:18:25Me?
00:18:26You couldn't afford the down payment.
00:18:27Come on, get your coat on.
00:18:28You've got a date, remember?
00:18:29So I have.
00:18:30I happen to be looking for a young lady.
00:18:31So I notice.
00:18:33Very tall.
00:18:33Very beautiful.
00:18:35Very blonde.
00:18:36Very strong.
00:18:37A little strange in a manner, you know?
00:18:41I don't know her name.
00:18:42But her initials are A, B, C.
00:18:48You know her.
00:18:49No.
00:18:49Now, why should you say that?
00:18:51Ah, you can tell me about her.
00:18:52You bet your life I can.
00:18:54There's no point in asking her about women.
00:18:56All she knows about is men.
00:18:57Especially the size of their wallets.
00:18:59All right.
00:19:00That's it, Don Fortune.
00:19:04May I have my cigarette case, please?
00:19:06There's your case.
00:19:20My goodness, these young people certainly take their bowling seriously.
00:19:23You bet my beak is at home.
00:19:24Ah!
00:19:28Ah!
00:19:32Ah!
00:19:33Ah!
00:19:34Ah!
00:19:35Let's go.
00:19:59Hey, Prader, where are you going? Come back, Prader.
00:20:04Hey, you! Bring back no shoes!
00:20:13Poirot, come back! Hey, you, fat boy!
00:20:17Hey, you!
00:20:18Let go of me! Will you let go of me?
00:20:20Where do you think you're going?
00:20:20I have to follow a man!
00:20:28Let go of me!
00:20:38Young lady!
00:20:41Young lady, I've been looking for you.
00:20:44I am Hercule Poirot. Now, surely you wanted me to find you.
00:20:47I don't know you. What do you want?
00:20:49Oh, come, of course you remember wrestling with me in the steam room.
00:20:52I don't know what you're talking about. I've never seen you before.
00:20:55Will you please turn this off?
00:20:57You want some help, Miss?
00:20:58Yes, please. This man keeps bothering me.
00:21:01Oh, come.
00:21:02Please, young lady, please.
00:21:03Please, young lady.
00:21:05Please!
00:21:06Please!
00:21:06I think you better catch some other of us, don't you?
00:21:08You mind your own business.
00:21:09Your mind is as long as you mind yours.
00:21:10That young lady is my business.
00:21:12She doesn't think so.
00:21:13You mind your business!
00:21:14Look, you just clear off.
00:21:15Someone get a police!
00:21:16Yes, call the police!
00:21:17Call the police!
00:21:18Call the police!
00:22:02Call the police!
00:22:07Well, what's all this then?
00:22:10Well, it's a bit late for Christmas.
00:22:20Sorry, sir. It's been a long night.
00:22:23You've noticed that too, have you?
00:22:25I want to borrow some boots.
00:22:28Boots?
00:22:29Boots!
00:22:32I suppose it wouldn't be in the national interest to inquire what...
00:22:35No!
00:22:36No, sir.
00:22:38What size boots, sir?
00:22:40Well, I generally have...
00:22:41Yes, well, we won't go into all that again.
00:22:44Just give me the largest boots you have.
00:22:47Blackbot!
00:22:51Take your boots off.
00:22:53What?
00:22:54No questions. Take off your boots.
00:22:57Now then, I want your help in tracing a very important missing person.
00:23:03I'd better see your inspector in charge of CID.
00:23:06I'm afraid you can't, sir. He's out on a case.
00:23:09Well, get him back.
00:23:10Well, it's a case of murder, sir.
00:23:13Scotland Yard are involved.
00:23:14Yes, well, we don't want little routine matters to it.
00:23:17Did you say murder?
00:23:18Yes, sir.
00:23:18These things do happen, sir.
00:23:20Thank you, Blackbot.
00:23:22Boots.
00:23:24I suppose the victim wasn't a little short, bald-headed Belgian with a bit of a beak, was he?
00:23:28I hope they fit, sir.
00:23:32You do mean a very short, very boring little Belgian with a beak?
00:23:38That's what I just said!
00:23:41This way, sir.
00:23:46Well, the charge is using insulting behavior towards a young woman with intent to commit a breach of the peace.
00:23:54There's nothing to worry about. He claims he's doing his yogurt.
00:23:59Well, Poirot, what are you doing there? Get up! Get down at once! Open the door! Come on!
00:24:03Yes, sir.
00:24:21Yes, sir.
00:24:47When I collected your clothes from the hotel, they asked me when you were leaving.
00:24:50I told them today.
00:24:52Then you erred, my dear Asting. You erred.
00:25:07You're valuable, sir.
00:25:19I'm sorry, sir.
00:25:20I do not wish to discuss it or even to think about it.
00:25:23Yes, sir.
00:25:23Look, why don't you go home? Then I could go home. I've been up all night. My wife won't understand.
00:25:27There is a telephone. There is a telephone.
00:25:29I'm not allowed to tell her that I'm in the Secret Service. She thinks I'm in the Ministry of Agriculture
00:25:33and Fisheries.
00:25:33It's beyond belief.
00:25:41Please tell me where you're going.
00:25:43I cannot see why they're having such difficulty. The whole thing is very clear, Mr. Stringer.
00:25:48I quite agree, Miss Marple.
00:25:50The solution is A-B-C to anyone with half a brain cell.
00:26:04If you must know, I have some unfinished business with my little bowling instructress.
00:26:08Then I shall have to come with you.
00:26:10I can't prevent you, but at least don't appear to be with me.
00:26:41If you must follow, must you follow so close?
00:26:43Listen.
00:26:46Follow!
00:26:48Follow!
00:27:13You mustn't be afraid.
00:27:21It pays to be careful.
00:27:35Violent boyfriend.
00:27:51You島an won't be afraid of seeing� ideal.
00:27:58Charlotte!
00:27:58Woo!
00:27:59Is she dead?
00:28:05Dead?
00:28:06Yeah, any blood?
00:28:09Blood?
00:28:10Blood?
00:28:11Blood, blood!
00:28:12Blood.
00:28:13Dead?
00:28:13Yeah, pablo look slim.
00:28:13No, just a book.
00:28:16ABC.
00:28:17The initials of the blonde, ABC.
00:28:26What?
00:28:41Well, you've taken your time getting here.
00:28:43You can thank Mr. Poirot for this. There's your murderer.
00:28:48This is Inspector Japp of Scotland Yard.
00:29:03I've talked to your ambassador, sir.
00:29:06Oh, how is he?
00:29:08Oh, very well, sir.
00:29:09I'd like to apologize for this misunderstanding, sir.
00:29:12I got the name as Poirot, of course, if I'd realized it was Poirot.
00:29:16Poirot?
00:29:17Yes, that's right.
00:29:18Well, never mind all that now. Did you telephone my wife?
00:29:20Oh, yes, sir. She says she's looking forward to having you home again.
00:29:24Inspector!
00:29:24Oh, yes, sir.
00:29:26Now, sir, this blonde young woman, sir, this nutcase.
00:29:29Actually, I said her manner was rather strange. Did I not?
00:29:32Yes, sir, yes.
00:29:33You say you've seen her on just those two occasions, sir?
00:29:36Yes, try that trouser pocket man.
00:29:39Oh, yes.
00:29:40She didn't happen to threaten you with an air gun, sir?
00:29:42Air gun?
00:29:43Yes, that's how she was killed.
00:29:44A poison dart in the neck fired from a high-velocity air pistol.
00:29:48And did you know it was not a blow gun?
00:29:51Ah, congratulations.
00:29:54Now, you've seen this blonde only on these two occasions, sir.
00:29:58To repeat myself, yes.
00:30:02And you, sir?
00:30:02To repeat myself once. Give me the key, I'll manage.
00:30:06You know, it's funny she never tried this air gun lark on you, sir.
00:30:09I mean, that seems her modus operandi.
00:30:11I mean, there was this water crown, and now this one, same fatal death.
00:30:17Yes.
00:30:18That man's name was Albert Aachen.
00:30:21A-A.
00:30:22The initials of my strange blonde, A-B-C.
00:30:26Her first victim, A-A.
00:30:28Her second, B-B.
00:30:30Her third, C-C.
00:30:33He thinks she's going right through the alphabet, Inspector.
00:30:36All finished, sir.
00:30:37Yeah, all right, Sergeant. Carry on.
00:30:40How do you explain this calling card?
00:30:42In that case.
00:30:43Could it be that someone wants to make quite sure this girl A-B-C is blamed?
00:30:47No, no. You saw for yourself. She attacked you.
00:30:49You jumped to that conclusion.
00:30:51No, no, I didn't. You did.
00:30:53Oh, come with splitting hairs, as the good inspector said.
00:30:55She could easily have used her air gun on me twice.
00:30:59Why did she not?
00:31:00My little gray cells answer.
00:31:03Maybe she did not want Poirot's life.
00:31:06Maybe what she wanted was Poirot's help.
00:31:09Well, sir, all the help she may want she can get from us.
00:31:12From you?
00:31:13The police.
00:31:14In the meantime, I'd be glad if you and the captain would accompany me to the police station
00:31:18and write out your statements, sir.
00:31:19And, of course, any theories you may have.
00:31:22Statements? Theories? There is no time.
00:31:24Afterwards, I will be glad to provide you with a motorcycle escort to London Airport.
00:31:28Oh, that's very kind of him, isn't it? Thank you, Inspector.
00:31:31My pleasure.
00:31:31Nice.
00:31:33Where is the bathroom?
00:31:35Why?
00:31:37Oh.
00:31:38You'd better go with him, sir.
00:31:39No, I'm all... Oh, I see what you mean, yes.
00:31:41Through there, sir.
00:31:43I'll come.
00:31:43As you wish.
00:31:45A thought for you to conjure with Inspector.
00:31:47Who is Sissy?
00:32:01Help!
00:32:03Help!
00:32:31You and Frank?
00:32:54Yes.

00:34:39i
00:34:39i
00:35:07Ah, you have a death wish I see.
00:35:09Ah, Dr. Doncaster, your secretary, told me I'd find you here.
00:35:12Did she, indeed?
00:35:13Yes. Speaking of a death wish, do the initials ABC mean anything to you?
00:35:17Should they?
00:35:17Or the name Betty Barnard?
00:35:20Can't we have him arrested?
00:35:22Well, it seems we're acquainted.
00:35:24One of your patients, obviously.
00:35:26Not a patient, exactly, no.
00:35:28No, although it is true, madame, I would like to discuss with Dr. Doncaster what I have on my mind.
00:35:32In rotten row?
00:35:33That depends on the good doctor, doesn't it?
00:35:35Yes, well, shall we say it at my office in an hour?
00:35:37I don't think we should say anything of the sort, darling, because in an hour you'll be somewhere with me.
00:35:41Yes, of course.
00:35:42I'm afraid I shan't be free until six o'clock.
00:35:45Very well.
00:35:47Six sharp.
00:35:54Where was dinner before?
00:36:00Where was...
00:36:05Mr. Cuarro?
00:36:14Mr. Cuarro!
00:36:27You were looking for me last night, weren't you?
00:36:29And I found you.
00:36:30You remember.
00:36:31Not exactly.
00:36:33I did tell you about AA, didn't I?
00:36:35Yes, you did.
00:36:36And now you're going to tell me about Bibi?
00:36:39Hmm?
00:36:40Oh, please.
00:36:42Don't do that.
00:36:43Let's talk.
00:36:45Bibi is dead.
00:36:47Who killed her?
00:36:49Do you want my balloons?
00:36:52Yes.
00:36:53Then I'll have your funny hat.
00:37:00Hello?
00:37:12Oh, my God.
00:37:20Oh, my God.
00:37:22Oh, my God.
00:37:23Oh, my God.
00:37:25Oh, my God.
00:37:26Oh, my God.
00:37:27Oh, my God.
00:37:28Oh, my God.
00:37:28Oh, my God.
00:37:30Oh, my God.
00:37:30Oh, my God.
00:37:57Now let's gather round.
00:37:59I propose to assume the girl is still somewhere in this area here.
00:38:05Now I propose to divide it into convenient sections and a lot, one car and two of you to each
00:38:11section, see?
00:38:12Now Jenkins.
00:38:13Yes, Sir Edward. I mean Sir X.
00:38:15And Roberts. I think you take this area here.
00:38:18I quite agree, sir. It's not in the best tradition of the service.
00:38:20Smith and Hodgson, this area there.
00:38:22I don't regard him as being lost, sir. I regard him as being temporarily mislaid.
00:38:26Bachman and Arbeid, this area to the left there.
00:38:30Thank you, sir.
00:38:31Now Denham and Iverson, that area down there.
00:38:34Right.
00:38:35Now look here, Inspector.
00:38:36The odd murder here and there is neither here nor there.
00:38:40X tells me if anything happens to Poirot, Her Majesty's Government will have to abolish it.
00:38:43He's got to be found!
00:38:45Yeah, well you look after your nutcase, Captain, and I'll look after mine.
00:38:51Yes?
00:38:54Yes?
00:38:55What?
00:38:57He's been at it again, sir.
00:38:58Has he?
00:38:58Where?
00:38:59Where?
00:39:00Hyde Park, molesting a young woman, sir.
00:39:02Oh my goodness, well...
00:39:03On a horse?
00:39:04You mean she was on the horse?
00:39:05Who was on the horse?
00:39:06Oh, he was.
00:39:07That's something for the tank for.
00:39:08Well, nail him!
00:39:09Nail him!
00:39:17Nail him!
00:39:20I thought you'd given up smoking.
00:39:22This is a celebration.
00:39:25Oh, really?
00:39:26What are you celebrating?
00:39:31I'm celebrating my first cigarette in 51 days.
00:39:36You must have one.
00:39:38Oh, that's awfully nice of you.
00:39:42Oh, that's very nice of you.
00:39:51We're friends, eh?
00:39:53Of course.
00:39:54Good.
00:39:55I was so hoping, you know, that if you couldn't see it from Her Majesty's government's point of view,
00:39:59you would see it from mine.
00:40:00Well, I mean, I've got really no interest in this matter, except just to get home.
00:40:04Explain things to my wife.
00:40:07Get a shave.
00:40:09Get these boots off.
00:40:11Get some sleep.
00:40:12Yes, of course.
00:40:14Well, I mean, you got some sleep last night.
00:40:16A little in the cell, yes.
00:40:20All that yokey stuff.
00:40:22Upside down.
00:40:24You slept like a bat.
00:40:26Yes, I suppose I did.
00:40:28I say, these cigarettes are ripping.
00:40:32Where'd you get them?
00:40:33I make them myself.
00:40:35Really?
00:40:36Oh, fancy.
00:40:38You know, I've always wanted to make my own cigarettes.
00:40:50I suppose the jury, suppose the question of getting the right filter.
00:40:55Yes.
00:40:58Yes.
00:40:59Yes.
00:41:16Good.
00:41:26Miss Barks.
00:41:28Yes, Doctor?
00:41:29I know I have another appointment for tonight, but you needn't wait.
00:41:31Good night.
00:41:32I could work late again.
00:41:33I was new to this, sir.
00:41:35I mean, I'm quite sure you do...
00:41:36Quite, quite sure.
00:41:38Yes, Doctor.
00:41:57Doctor, it is exactly six o'clock.
00:42:14Good evening.
00:42:21I suppose your business is blackmail.
00:42:24My business is justice.
00:42:26I'm Poirot.
00:42:27I am not interested in your name.
00:42:30Only in what you're up.
00:42:32Poirot.
00:42:33Hercule Poirot.
00:42:35Please.
00:42:36Yes, of course.
00:42:37It does look rather ridiculous, doesn't it?
00:42:39Weren't you, Doctor?
00:42:42Betty Barnard is dead.
00:42:44Shock tactics, eh, Monsieur Poirot?
00:42:47I'm sorry to disappoint you.
00:42:49It was in the evening papers.
00:42:51You're an intimate friend of hers, of course.
00:42:53Of course.
00:42:55No tears, Doctor.
00:42:57No tears, Monsieur Poirot.
00:42:59She was an experiment.
00:43:01An experiment?
00:43:03A near-perfect specimen of the primitive, aggressive, female, acquisitive personality.
00:43:08In lay language, a gold digger.
00:43:10I see.
00:43:11Women and their mental processes are my work.
00:43:14Interesting work.
00:43:15I enjoyed.
00:43:17Is that all?
00:43:19Who is ABC?
00:43:21ABC.
00:43:23Long.
00:43:24Beautiful.
00:43:25Very tall.
00:43:26Speaking of Amanda, of course.
00:43:28Amanda.
00:43:29Amanda who?
00:43:31Amanda Beatrice Cross.
00:43:33ABC.
00:43:35Tell me about her.
00:43:37I'm sorry.
00:43:38I never discuss my patience with anyone.
00:43:40Your patient, eh?
00:43:41Are you still treating her?
00:43:43No, she went to Switzerland last month.
00:43:45Some idea that the mountaineer would be beneficial.
00:43:48I haven't seen her since.
00:43:49And what if I tell you that your former patient asserts she is a murderess?
00:43:56I'm not surprised.
00:43:57That she asserts it or that she is.
00:44:00She is a certain type of schizophrenic, a split personality.
00:44:03Perhaps I can explain it in simple language.
00:44:05A paranoid schizophrenic.
00:44:06One half immature, one half influenced by a system of delusions.
00:44:10Probably delusions of persecution.
00:44:13Constantinous with a sharply developing obsessional anxiety.
00:44:16Quite.
00:44:17One moment homicidal, the next a frightened child, actually.
00:44:21Indeed.
00:44:22Now tell me, doctor.
00:44:23Is it possible for this obsession to take the form of a preoccupation with the alphabet?
00:44:29A, B, C?
00:44:31Monsieur Poirot, for you, I am prepared to break a rule.
00:44:39Monsieur, sit down.
00:44:46Listen.
00:44:49A.
00:44:50B.
00:44:52C.
00:44:53A.
00:44:54A.
00:44:55A.
00:44:55B.
00:44:55B.
00:44:56B.
00:44:57B.
00:44:59B.
00:45:00B.
00:45:01C.
00:45:02A.
00:45:03A.
00:45:04B.
00:45:05B.
00:45:06E.
00:45:16I inject it over the so-called truth drug.
00:45:19I use it sometimes to break down inhibitions.
00:45:21But is that all?
00:45:22Yes, she proved 90% pentothal resistant.
00:45:24What she said there was his only effect.
00:45:26But at least it crystallized her obsession.
00:45:28So that people with initials A.A., B.B.
00:45:30C.C. and so on, would be the natural targets for a homicidal drive, eh?
00:45:35Obviously.
00:45:35Hmm.
00:45:37Tell me, Doctor, is it possible for such a person to be dominated?
00:45:48Dominated?
00:45:49Used as an instrument, either for murder itself or a cover for murder?
00:45:54It would make a fascinating experiment.
00:46:07Thank you very much, Doctor.
00:46:08Doctor, we shall resume this consultation at a future date.
00:46:24Amanda!
00:46:25Hide me.
00:46:26Please hide me.
00:46:26Amanda, you must go out the way you came in.
00:46:28No.
00:46:29Please, no.
00:46:30Go out the way you came in.
00:46:31I'll do anything.
00:46:34Anything.
00:46:36Anything.
00:46:39All right.
00:47:02if you don't mind my saying so captain your appearance is getting a little
00:47:05embarrassing even for the secret service a wash and brush up wouldn't you yes
00:47:11well it's only a suggestion but there he is we'll stop him come back

00:49:22monsieur poirot
00:49:23i've given them up poor man lady carmichael i'm sure you can persuade your husband to take
00:49:31this matter seriously really yes of course monsieur poirot
00:49:34in certain moods no one can persuade my husband of anything not even me believe it or not
00:49:40my step my stepbrother lives in a square world of his own mr poirot for instance he still
00:49:46thinks i'm too young to drink most people are i must say that he's taking this whole affair
00:49:50with remarkable coolness and so are you seriously old carcler at times been monotonously right
00:49:55for instance if there's anything wrong with amanda she certainly won't do us any harm

00:50:37ah
00:51:04Sir Carmichael Clark does not want a word with you.
00:51:09All right, Captain. We'll return to the square. If you'll be kind enough to observe the premises, I'll procure a
00:51:14search warrant.
00:51:28It's all right, Judson.
00:51:30Take a minute.
00:51:34Guns.
00:51:48Look, something came up after you turned...
00:51:49Oh, never mind. I've missed you.
00:52:03Congratulations.
00:52:05Why are you still here?
00:52:08I was told I could finish my sherry.
00:52:11Well, I never like to see a man drinking alone. Why don't we join him, Diane?
00:52:15Well, we are civilized, eh?
00:52:17Tell me, Doctor, how did you get along with my friend Inspector Jack?
00:52:21Oh, a plain close case of retarded development, I should say.
00:52:24But not as interesting as the chap who was with him, a sort of tramp in a bowl of hats.
00:52:27Oh, yes, they're inseparable.
00:52:29I put it to them.
00:52:30Real me.
00:52:30Monsieur Poros, I put it to you. Thank you.
00:52:32This girl is lost, distracted.
00:52:35You've seen her?
00:52:35No, no, no, but that's how I imagine she must be by now.
00:52:38Anyhow, I feel that any shock, such as a clumsy attempt to arrest her, might well send her right over
00:52:42the edge into suicide.
00:52:43Poor Amanda.
00:52:44I offered my full cooperation to Inspector Jack, but I might as well have been talking to a trained chimpanzee.
00:52:49Yes.
00:52:49Did you also offer your full cooperation in the case of Betty Barnard?
00:52:53I explained about her, yes.
00:52:55May I have my lighter? Thank you.
00:52:58Did you also explain that you and Miss Barnard were friends, actually more than that?
00:53:03Duncan.
00:53:04Duncan?
00:53:06Doncaster?
00:53:08Dee Dee?
00:53:09Congratulations, sir.
00:53:11Car!
00:53:12Eavesdropping?
00:53:12My wife was never jealous of me.
00:53:15How very interesting.
00:53:17The cheater cheated.
00:53:19The deceiver deceived.
00:53:20You're taking a long time over your sherry.
00:53:23It's such a large glass.
00:53:25Didn't think I knew about it, did you?
00:53:27Sneak out in the middle of the night.
00:53:29Back before the old fool wakes.
00:53:31So clever.
00:53:34I presume you have some grounds for these allegations, Sir Carmichael.
00:53:37Grounds?
00:53:38Certainly.
00:53:43The word of a gentleman which you so obviously are not, sir.
00:53:47I happen to be passing, sir.
00:53:50Ask Mr. Franklin to come here, please.
00:53:51Sir, it was Franklin.
00:53:53I'm afraid Mr. Franklin is out, sir.
00:53:55Out where?
00:53:56Well, he said he was going to the belfry, sir.
00:53:57The belfry?
00:53:58A gaming club.
00:53:59Your precious stepbrothers practically bought the place.
00:54:02With your money.
00:54:03I don't believe you.
00:54:04Go and see for yourself!
00:54:07I shall be dining alone, Judson.
00:54:09Farewell, sir.
00:54:09I shall require a taxi at nine o'clock.
00:54:19Well, I suppose I won't finish my sherry.
00:54:27Will you excuse me?
00:54:29Madame?
00:54:30Doctor?
00:54:38No, I shall be.
00:54:40On the other side.
00:54:43No, no, no.
00:54:44No.
00:54:47No, no.
00:54:48No, no, no.
00:54:49Oh, no.
00:54:50Oh, no.
00:54:56No.
00:54:56Oh, no.
00:55:01No, no.
00:55:07Hold on! Hold on!
00:55:10I'm coming! I'm coming!

00:58:15Follow it.
00:58:19Follow it.
00:58:29I'll get you!
00:58:31FBC, I've got you!
00:58:34Help!
00:58:36I've got the murderer!
00:58:37Help me!
00:58:40Help me!
00:58:42You force it at me!
00:58:47Help me!
00:58:57Don't you at least wish to know my thinking on this case?
00:59:06Every policeman in London is looking for ABC.
00:59:09Yes?
00:59:10Well, she is not only remarkably beautiful and remarkably blonde,
00:59:14she is about six feet tall.
00:59:16Does not something strike you?
00:59:19But of course, why haven't you caught her?
00:59:22Precisely.
00:59:23Someone must be a Böhringer.
00:59:25A Böhringer?
00:59:27A Böhringer!
00:59:28A Böhringer, that's right.
00:59:30I ask myself, who?
00:59:32My little grey self's reply, probably Dr. Doncaster.
00:59:38Call him.
00:59:38Tell him ABC has been spotted and your men are closing in.
00:59:41Then, if I am right, he'll go to her.
00:59:44Exactly.
00:59:45Well, it's so simple, it's childish.
00:59:47And that's what it is.
00:59:48Childish.
00:59:49What kind of a nut is going to harbour a nut who's already killed three times?
01:00:17Oh, so sorry.
01:00:19Oh, I trust you'll allow me to accept defeat with dignity.
01:00:22I don't relish this, this bum's rush.
01:00:26No, no, of course not.
01:00:27All right, Inspector.
01:00:28I'll take it from here.
01:00:29Come along.
01:00:33Oh, come on, boys.
01:00:37I must say, you're taking this extremely well, just like an Englishman.
01:00:40Oh, you flatter me.
01:00:42Not at all, I mean it.
01:00:43Not at all.
01:00:53Allow me.
01:01:00Help!
01:01:01Help!
01:01:02Help!
01:01:02Help!
01:01:02I believe there's a man locked in there.
01:01:04You must find a key.
01:01:19To town.
01:01:24This hairpin came from the head of the most difficult woman in England, my wife's.
01:01:31I'm beginning to think I've underestimated you. Shall we return?
01:01:36Too much trouble.
01:01:38Really?
01:01:38If I put you on a plane, you'll only come back on the next.
01:01:41Oh, yes.
01:01:42You're determined not to go home till you've solved the case.
01:01:45Yes.
01:01:46Very well, then, I shall speed things up. I've decided to help you.
01:01:50Proceed, driver.
01:01:57What are you going to do?
01:01:59Well, I shall ring Dr. Doncaster, impersonate Inspector Jap.
01:02:06You?
01:02:06Of course. It's easy.
01:02:09Hello, Dr. Doncaster. This is Inspector Jap.
01:02:15Well, you'll be very wise to tell him that.
01:02:24This is Dr. Doncaster.
01:02:25Hello?
01:02:26This is Inspector Jap here, sir.
01:02:29I think we may be able to use your help after all, sir.
01:02:33We've just spotted the young lady.
01:02:35Spotted her?
01:02:36Spotted, sir.
01:02:38We're hoping to pick her up at any moment.
01:02:40So if you just hold yourself available, sir.
01:02:44Where did you find her?
01:02:45No, I'm afraid I can't tell you anymore.
01:02:47Just at the moment.
01:02:49Goodbye.
01:02:50Well, what did you think of that?
01:02:51Very good.
01:02:53I could have done that.
01:03:05Got to remember the number of the car.
01:03:07HMX-1CB.
01:03:08Oh, that's very good.
01:03:09HMX-1CB.
01:03:10HMX-1CB.
01:03:11HMX-1CX.
01:03:12HMX-1CX.
01:03:18Ah.
01:03:19HMX-1CB.
01:03:20That's right.
01:03:21I forgot to tell you.
01:03:21It's a big white American car.
01:03:23Shh.
01:03:24Over the boot.
01:03:28In.
01:03:29Oh, I really don't think I should care for that.
01:03:31That's usually for the luggage.
01:03:32Do you wish to work with Poirot?
01:03:34In.
01:03:38Now, what have you done?
01:03:41What is it now?
01:03:42We're working together, yes.
01:03:59Let's see.
01:03:59Uh-huh.

01:17:00Ah, the foreign gentleman.
01:17:02I wish to speak to Mr. Franklin Clark.
01:17:04I'm afraid Mr. Franklin is out, sir.
01:17:06Very well then, Lady Dianne.
01:17:08I'm afraid she's also out, sir.
01:17:10Where are they?
01:17:11They will shortly be on their way to Scotland, sir, the 532 from King's Cross.
01:17:17Scotland?
01:17:18For the funeral, sir, Mr. Franklin and Lady Dianne are taking my late employer aboard one of his ships at
01:17:24Greenock.
01:17:25The burial, you understand, is to be at sea.
01:17:28Afterwards, sir, Mr. Franklin and Lady Dianne are proceeding in the same vessel on a sunshine cruise of the South
01:17:33Americas
01:17:34to recover from what they describe as a strain of the past few days.
01:17:38Ah, I see him.
01:17:40Come, get up.
01:17:42I say, must we go on rushing around like this?
01:17:44I'm really feeling a bit queasy.
01:17:45Is it my imagination or is it rather warm in here?
01:17:48Mr. Franklin turned up the central heating before leaving and instructed that it remain, sir, sir.
01:17:53It is somewhat warm.
01:17:54Good, then I'm all right.
01:17:57Turn up the central heating.
01:18:00Hmm.
01:18:01Turn up the engine.
01:18:02One.
01:18:20It is our time.
01:18:27We're leaving already good.
01:18:28It has to be done.
01:18:29We're leaving today.
01:18:30In a meanwhile, we're leaving to see flans open.
01:18:30The north from the South American stands for the north.
01:18:30The north came around a million dollars full ofowym also.
01:18:31Of the northern están,on.
01:18:43Casting, don't stand there like a monument.
01:18:46Where have you been?
01:18:47What have you been doing?
01:18:48Arranging a little extra insurance, my friend.
01:18:50No, really.
01:18:50Personally, I always feel perfectly safe with British railways.
01:18:53Mind you, it's very different in France, isn't it?
01:18:55I wouldn't know.
01:18:55I'm not French.
01:18:56I'm Belgian.
01:18:57Well, it's the same thing.
01:18:57You both eat horse meat.
01:18:58Oh, no offense, old man.
01:19:00After all, it's you and I now, isn't it?
01:19:02Against the world.
01:19:25Come in.
01:19:28Well?
01:19:29Well, I think we deserve a little drink, don't you?
01:19:33Napoleon brandy.
01:19:34I've been keeping it for a special occasion.
01:19:37What shall we drink to?
01:19:38Our good fortune, don't you think?
01:19:44Mind you, I feel sorry in a way.
01:19:47Oh.
01:19:48But I feel grateful to old Carp for being so rich.
01:19:53I'm grateful to old Carp for being so rich.
01:20:00Is anything the matter, darling?
01:20:02I don't know.
01:20:04Suddenly, I feel dizzy.
01:20:05Really?
01:20:06Franklin, what's happening?
01:20:08Franklin, it's the drink.
01:20:12You've...
01:20:12Oh.
01:20:13Oh.
01:20:16It's quite all right, my darling.
01:20:18I've just put you to sleep for the moment.
01:20:22Okay.
01:20:23Okay.
01:20:26Ooh.
01:20:38Oh.
01:20:45Oh.
01:21:07Can I help you, honey?
01:21:08I can, Annie.
01:21:20Control yourself, madam.
01:21:21I'm not stopping, madam.
01:21:54Quarrow!
01:21:55Of course.
01:21:58I think you owe me an explanation.
01:22:00Very well.
01:22:01I believe you are now considerably richer than you were, eh?
01:22:04If you're referring to my expectations on the death of my stepbrother, yes, I am, but...
01:22:09But, but, but?
01:22:10Well, she didn't inherit just as much as I will.
01:22:12Oh, yes, yes.
01:22:12I do know that, of course.
01:22:15I, uh, we were just, um, coming in here to see if everything was all right.
01:22:18Uh-huh.
01:22:19And then she passed out.
01:22:23Assisted by a few grains of barbiturate dissolved in brandy, eh?
01:22:29Napoleon brandy, actually.
01:22:30To resume.
01:22:31I agree that Lady Diane also has the motive.
01:22:36Motive?
01:22:37Motive for what?
01:22:38For killing four people to kill one.
01:22:41And thus, inerate a fortune.
01:22:45Aye.
01:22:46I'm afraid you're far ahead of me.
01:22:48I ask myself, why should someone kill four times and make it look like the work of a maniac?
01:22:55My little grace sells answer.
01:22:57Because there was an obvious motive to kill just one of them.
01:23:01So obvious, in fact, that even our friend Inspector Jap would be onto it at once.
01:23:07Unless there were enough red earrings.
01:23:10I have killed no one.
01:23:11Neither my stepbrother nor anybody else.
01:23:13Oh, I know that.
01:23:14I know that you were no killer.
01:23:16You see, the real killer killed just once too often.
01:23:20Don't you agree?
01:23:21You mean when I kill myself?
01:23:24It grieves me to admit it did not occur to me at the time.
01:23:27But then, everything began to fall into place.
01:23:31What if when you went to Switzerland, it was not for your health, but to contact A.A.?
01:23:37What if it taught you his diving tricks?
01:23:41How to fall from a great height into the water and survive?
01:23:46Yes?
01:23:48Yes.
01:23:49You are very clever, Monsieur Poirot.
01:23:51And so now I wonder why you have deliberately involved Poirot in this?
01:23:55Oh, baffling the great Monsieur Poirot added spice.
01:23:58I'm sure you will understand.
01:24:00My vanity is as great as yours.
01:24:03Vanity?
01:24:04What do you mean, vanity?
01:24:06I'm not sure.
01:24:16Allow me to hypothesize what will happen now.
01:24:20I will join Lady Dianne in that coffin.
01:24:23And together we will be buried at sea in place of Sir Carmichael Clark,
01:24:28whose body, even now, is being used to boost the central eating of his own house.
01:24:33Exactly.
01:24:34You, then, will take the place of Lady Dianne, and together with your brave chaperon,
01:24:41sail to the South Americas with both halves of the fortune de camp.
01:24:45Exactly.
01:24:46And now, Monsieur Poirot, your death will be an advantage to me, but not, I'm afraid, to you.
01:24:54Naturally, I anticipated my little remarks would cause some small unpleasantness.
01:24:58I do, oh, my insurance is still in effect.
01:25:03What are you doing?
01:25:05Stop it!
01:25:05Stop it!
01:25:08Stop it!
01:25:09Stop that, will you?
01:25:18I'm coming, Poirot!
01:25:20Poirot!
01:25:22Poirot!
01:25:22Oh, steady, old fellow, I'm on my way!
01:25:24I'll...
01:25:25Poirot!
01:25:26Poirot!
01:25:26I'm coming!
01:25:27Where is this together?
01:25:28Hold on!
01:25:29Where are you?
01:25:30I'll save you!
01:25:31I'm coming!
01:25:33Poirot!
01:25:34Poirot!
01:25:35I'll save you!
01:25:37Poirot!
01:25:38Poirot!
01:25:38Save me!
01:25:39Poirot!
01:25:48Poirot!
01:25:49So, Castings, dear friend, you, you're taking this like a Belgian.
01:26:19Poirot!
01:26:22Poirot!
01:26:25Poirot!
01:26:27Poirot!
01:26:29Poirot!
01:26:30Poirot!
