Is some danger in? It goes against my instincts, but the man does not give up.
Since the hotel is empty, I will endure the weekday rest.
Hurried Major Barnes.
He tells me that it came to the fishing.
I always found the behaviour curious of the Englishmen abroad.
At least, it does not pinch tails, Mr.
Poirot.
See, a few rioters, always to the search of confusions.
Perhaps, but I find the most cold Englishmen.
His violence is more calculated.
My wife is tired, therefore, we go already for the hotel.
When it took care with the suitcases.
See if they are not lost.
Do not be removed of another car.
Excuse, these cars are not they of the Hotel Palace? - They are.
So what? - We also there are going to be.
Then they will wait what return.
For the hotel, please.
And try not to hit anything.
It walks, wanted.
Skies, that one is to Valentine Chantry.
One was calling Dacres.
It was judging that this was not her style, too calm.
Is she marvellous, is not it? - Did he marry again? - He is the fifth husband, I find.
Seem heavy, it does not think? It will be a bestial attraction, Mr.
Poirot? Now, the things are composing.
Hello.
Hello.
I am full of floor to his search, young person.
- Today does it do not fish, Major? - I was early, but I was not lucky.
Perhaps be fish very joined to the coast.
Today I saw it in the port.
It is able to be right.
There is great explosion of dynamite.
- Dynamite? - The fishermen blow up everything.
Harmed.
The fishes, what are not foolish, are in high sea.
Finally.
Take the luggages straightly for our rooms.
I do not understand because we were received so.
I find marvellously, it is completely very much preserved.
It is pretty, yes.
But it is so distant and the travel is terrible.
You are going to like having a bath and of resting.
We could do that in Brixham.
Because you wanted to come here? - You are going to adore, I am sure.
- I see that you intend to enjoy oneself.
I am going to take a bath and to rest.
It can be what is better tomorrow.
Tony, darling, my cigarette case.

She is immensely lucky.

Good morning.
What marvellous day.

I feel very pale, but only I gain freckles, do not tan.
- Was it already in Rhodes? - No.
Is it lindíssima, is not it? You had the best idea, love.
I hardly heard of this.
I thought that it was Greek or Turkish.
He did not know that it was in the Aegean Sea.
It was going away more near to England - Did they come from Brindisi? - Yes, we came in the ferry last night.
The sea is lovely, very blue.
I think that it is better we go to have a bath, no, Douglas? Yes, from here to a minute, is it well? Does it stretch more the towel, yes? - Is Tony, darling, minded by you? - What? I left a bottle of cream in the bathroom.
It was bringing.
For it go me it can be? Yes, wanted.
Must he be crazy for her, does not think? It is the best, Douglas, cardboard container.
It walks.
Is not it going to have a bath? First, I like catching sun, it is only then that I have a bath.
Now, I do not manage to open this.
I am an aselha It will be that you - Can I help it? - Thank you, it is very gentle.
I have no knack any.
You are fantastic, it already opened it.
We came in the same ferry.
- One calls Douglas, is not it? - Yes, Douglas Gold.
Wanted, the Douglas was a love.
My husband, Tony.
- How it is? - Pleasure.
- How does one call his wife? - Marjorie.
Yes The human beings do not find what have they a tendency to reproduce certain standards? - Stereotypical standards.
- Precisement, mademoiselle.
His wife did not come with you this afternoon, Douglas? No, she was not feeling well.
It caught great sun in the morning, therefore, I came alone.
Well, we will be of use since we will be able, alone.
- Lady Gold.
- Mr.
Poirot.
It was noticing this digging.
They have here fossils of fresh water and salt water.
- Fascinating.
- Yes.
And what splendid day.
The Douglas and I always have luck with the time.
- Does not this afternoon go to the beach? - Only I go to the bath once daily.
We combined to see the ancient part of the city this afternoon.
- But we missed each other.
- Oh yes? He knows, Mr.
Poirot, when we see so many problems and unhappiness, when we see so many divorces and everything more, we feel grateful for our happiness.
It is pleasant to hear her saying that.
It is therefore that I feel sorry of the unfortunate persons.
- You.
Chantry, for example.
- Lady Chantry? In the certain form, I feel sorry for her.
In spite of being rich and pretty.
It is the woman's type what quickly saturates the men.
Does not it find? The men are authentic children.
They believe in everything.
I heard that he is a detective, Mr.
Poirot.
- How much time is going to be here? - Unfortunately, I leave in Saturday.
Douglas, an aromatized gin.
I have to drink even one.
Did you like the bath, love? It was not a marvellous day, Beauty queen Lyall? Tony? - Tony? - Good afternoon.
Do we go for there? To Valentine there it has his methods.
- This does not please anything me.
- No? To me also not.
I will be sincere, up to taste.
In fact, I combined a girl excursion for tomorrow Two travel hours and it is raised only to see a ruin.
Wait to see the sight.
What I frighten! C'est magnific! Here be! See, a snake! - What it delimits.
- When it took care! I do not like this, it is better we return backwards.
What awful place, it is not safe to walk here.
They are on the whole side.
Formerly, Rhodes was known like " Island of the Snakes ".
- The marks are noticed well.
- Like a notice.
The nature gives to the prisoner of the viper the hypothesis of identifying the attacker.
If all the murderers were identified, I was left without work.
Are we obliged enduring this? We do not even hear ourselves speaking.
We should not have disregarded the local customs.
I do not understand the menu.
Read mine, it has parts in English.
But the translation is weak.
Which wine is this? It looks gin aromatized.
It was the Douglas that asked, I find marvellously.
- Awful.
- But nowadays it is a habit.
I make part of a generation what does not believe in the divorce.
Nowadays the persons judge what do something to themselves and do not like, it is enough to put an end to everything.
They get married and separate in three times.
I hate that.
It seems a knowledge much is left the marriage, Mrs.
Gold.
Excuse I think that it walks listening the prying many people.
Only because a woman is pretty, they all criticize it.
I did not intend - Oh My God - Marjorie! It was not necessary to do that.
I do not do idea because it brought on his weekday woman.
- What? - Only it has eyes for to Valentine.
Do not be ridiculous, it is drunk.
If you and my woman find what I do not see, are deceived.
They are not released of me so so easily.
Do Ladies and ladies, already want to ask? Parakalo.
Kidneys in the spit.
It guarantees me what are sheep's kidneys in a spit? Parfait.
I like kidneys in the spit.
Efharisto.
Mr.
Poirot, excuses.
It wanted to be alone.
I can give him an advice, Lady? Yes, say.
Bien - His husband loves it, is obvious.
- Is it how that he knows? She took care of him, he does not even think already about me.
I do not count.
I do not hold out, do not hold out.
Then, I advise it to leave this place before it is too late.
Too late? How? - It is frightening me.
- Yes.
- My intention is this.
- Why? Why? It is the advice what I give him.
Leave this island, one values his life.
It is a pity to see it leaving, Mr.
Poirot.
The joined ticket and vain passport.
- Did they confirm my reserve? - A dormitory on the boat of the night Merci.
This night is it going to have dinner? Something light before travelling.

It is pity that if it goes away, Mr.
Poirot.
Since it manages to leave when the things are heating up? The situation of the Chantry and of the Gold it is more and more complicated.
It is shocking.
Marjorie thinks that to Valentine it goes to divorce to marry with the Douglas.
Oh yes? Look, they are there.
I do not believe what the Chantry gives up easily.
Who might predict such passion, Mr.
Poirot? He is one I lose my self-control nervously, certainement.
Look.
- This has been a stupidity.
- Yes, we are not going to spoil everything.
I think the same thing.
Now And I who was already disposing of a murder in order that you stay.
Garçon! Abandoned beauty.
The women went for a walk.
A reconciliation, I find.
- There were already many nuisances.
- It is true.
It is pity that if it goes away, we had no time to talk.
It has been walking very occupied.
The salmonete was excellent.
- Just as well what liked.
- Yes.
Where he bought it? What? I would to high sea would catch it.
No, Major, his interests they are more near to the coast.
- My car, please.
- Certainly.
The Italians are reinforcing the defenses of the port for military use.
It is very cunning, a Mr.
Poirot.
We will be cunning in our activities.

That itself.
Gin and " ginger beer ".
Employee! Yes? Does one matter of coming with me? Since it arrived what it was wanting to say to him what has clothes lindíssimas.
They have a marvellous line.
- Is it well? What has? - I need of drinking water.
Employee! I feel very badly.
- One choked with anything? - I do not manage to breathe.
Employed, parakalo.
Fast, water.
Commander Chantry! What you have, Val? I do not know.
The drink had a strange taste.
The aromatized gin? This? Let her breathe.
This, Val drinks.
It tries to drink this.
- What it is necessary to do? - I am going to call a doctor.
This was my glass, Gold.
I did not touch him.
Which ray put him to bed? Be killed! Be killed! It killed it.
I wanted to kill oneself, it finished them to me with her.
He is going to pay for this, Gold.
He is going to pay for this.
I did not do anything.
He said already, I came to pass on holidays! Vous etes vraiment un imbecile! I am a Belgian citizen and they have no right of detaining me.
It will only go out from this island after explaining his dislocations.
Since the fact is that I can leave from the island if my boat left? Idiot! Mademoiselle Lyall.
What goes on? What it does here? Mr.
Poirot, thank goodness.
I judged what had left.
Come fast.
To Valentine Chantry it died.
Someone put poison in the glass of the husband and she it drank.
- It was afraid what about it was happening.
- And because it did not do anything? What I might do? To say to the Police officer that someone was it intending to commit a crime? No.
I go.
My man, I have subjects more urgent to negotiate.
I am a detective, I am not a spy.
Do the favor of sending the suitcases for the hotel Palace D'Rhodi.
I was feeling attracted by her, who would not feel? It was completely inside the limits of the decency, Poirot.
- Did she tell to him secrets? - Someone.
Valentine Chantry was she a happy woman? In the marriage? - Loss was felt and with fear.
- With fear of what? Of the Chantry, she was thinking that he was jealous.
- Of you? - Of all those who were noticing her.
She was an undefended person.
I needed of protecting it.
But everything got out of control.
The Chantry was revolted, Marjorie lost the control.
Monsieur Gold Does he love his wife? Clear what I love.
She is completely for me.
Is it catholic? I am.
His faith will serve him of great consolation.
His time it finished already.
It will go out.
Poirot! Poirot! They are going to condemn me.
Not while I will be able to obstruct it.
The poison was in an empty bottle what was discovered in the pocket of the coat of the Mr.
Gold.
It can touch him.
The only impressions they are those of Douglas Gold.
You.
Chantry she was a very beautiful woman.
She had a public case with the Douglas Gold.
But the Commander Chantry he was a possessive husband.
It did not want to give up of the wife.
The lover put poison in the glass of the husband and then, when it was distracted, the woman drinks of the glass.
Eko.
It is a worthy scene of the Italian opera, Inspector.
I deduct what asked the Douglas Gold to empty his pockets.
Yes.
Then it is natural that the bottle it had his impressions, does not it find? It does not find snooper, Inspector, what this calculating murderer it was caught with poison in the pocket? There are no doubts.
When cold English catches sun, it heats the temperament.
Quilting stitch.
Take this metediço from me from here.
- You.
Gold does not admit the authorship.
- No, it affirms that it is innocent.
Only because the wrong person died, this is not an excuse.
Cannot I lift my passport? The Police officer gave me these educations, Commander.
I want that my wife have a funeral decent one in England and not in an advanced post of the Italian empire.
This afternoon breaks a boat and there will be great nuisance if I will not be in him.
Commander Chantry? I have not how to compensate for it for the death of his wife.
Swim of what I say it is of use.
But I also lost my husband.
Mr.
Poirot, if at least it had followed his advice.
Advice? Which advice? You.
Poirot told me that there are some days to leave the island.
It could have warned about me also, Mr.
Poirot.
- Is it going to visit his husband? - Yes.
Believe when I say to him that he is innocent.
It is rested, soon, he will be freed.
With license.
A tea of tisane in the terrace.
What goes on, Poirot? You arrange a few mysteries and it does not advance to ask an explanation.
He said already to you, the Douglas Gold is innocent.
But that means that one of us put poison in the glass.
Certainly.
Merci.
We will know who, when we will discover of where the poison came.
But there is a problem.
The Police officer does not grant to me help.
For the Police officer, the case is shut in.
In this case, I can help it.
I think that I can speak between friends.
Director Forense is my friend.
As it understands, Mr.
Poirot, this is a delicate subject.
More oui.
I came here to pass on holidays and I fell in love with this.
- Did it examine the poison? - Yes, it is local, of Rhodes.
It is a medicine.
The Riders of Saint John he became Hospitalários.
It was one of his potions.
It is medicinal under diluted form.
It is lethal when pure, it is a poison of snake.
This was withdrawn of the teeth of a viper.
There is still great superstition in this island.
One calls " diliterio ockias ".
And where it is possible to obtain this poison? It does not find it in a pharmacy.
Perhaps in an ervanária.
It wants to be looked, try in these streets.
Fascists! There are so many streets.
Where we begin? Mademoiselle.
We will imitate the crazy Englishmen what they take for a walk to the hour of the lunch.
And let's wait that the ancient city reveal his secrets.
It can go.
Grandmother? Grandmother? We have a visit.
Do not be afraid.
Kalispera.
She wants poison of snake, grandmother.
Such a lovely young person, why? It is not a good thing, no.
It is not understanding, I do not want to buy poison.
I want to know if it sold it to someone.
Yesterday or before yesterday Preen dio immeras.
She is talking about another person, it Anglicizes other one, there are two days.
She is talking about such a woman.
It was before yesterday.
Yes, a person came here.
Yes, there are two days.
Angles? Loudly, megaloss? And his hair was mine how or more dark? No, he was not English.
She was a woman like you, but less.
He was not an English man, she was a woman.
He is not a man, she is a woman.
Yes, English lady.
Poirot! The poison you were sold.
Gold.
Clear.
Does it already understand? Because there would be she of helping the husband to poison the Chantry? My darling Pamela, it is not the question who did not get to kill the Commander, but who, and for what reason, it managed to kill his wife.
- What happened? - A scream, a disturbance.
- A disturbance? - They stole the passports.
He was distracted by a scream of the Mrs.
Gold.
A praying mantis placed him in the cushion.
After what it happened yesterday, he left the reception.
The Commander Chantry is it still in the hotel? No.
Come.
- Marjorie Gold and the Chantry? - Yes, Mademoiselle Pamela.
One remembers of the eternal triangle.
But it is not the triangle that we were thinking.
They were the reactions of the Mrs.
Gold and the exacerbated jealousies of the Chantry what took it thinking that the Douglas Valentine was in love for.
It was very well an act.
Marjorie and the Chantry began his case in England.
They combined to be here and to stage this crime.
The Chantry put poison in the glass and it gave it to the wife.
She drank it and, then, in the confusion, he put the poison in the pocket of the Douglas Gold.
What horror.
But now we will obstruct that they leave the island.
They already have his passports.
I am going to check on the boat for Brindisi.
Ask if they turn them.
Excuse.
Are there Englishmen on board? Englishmen? There are no Englishmen on board, snag, I would have seen.
- For where the boat goes? - Brindisi.
Grazie.
Major Barnes! I will keep up appearances.
The swordfish is five days old.
I have not been walking being on the lookout the Italians, but yes the Englishmen.
The Commander Chantry he gained taste for the fishing.
He and you.
Gold goes in direction to the coast of Turkey.
When it distrusted the Mrs.
Gold? His performance was completed, taking away a detail.
Poirot! In front! The scene what she armed in the tavern.
It suggested that Douglas wanted the divorce.
Bien, I noticed what you.
Gold is catholic.
It was not doing sense, to less what was a complex puzzle - Tony, look, a boat! - Can he be armed, Poirot? It would not bring arms to the island, it has more discreet methods.
Then I treat the Commander.
- He is the metediço of the Belgian! - Does not the boat walk more fast? - More fast! - Have you no dynamite? - Dynamite? - Yes.
- It brings the dynamite.
- Divert the boat! - What goes on? - He found dynamite! Be removed! Release the dynamite or we fire! Be removed! - Mon Dieu! Is he well? - Crazy Englishmen! They will not stop trying to kill oneself a few to others, I fasten you to all.
This included it to you, Mr.
Poirot.
Poor the Douglas Gold.
He is going to be here even to the weekday end.
It had to go away.
I said to the wife to go away, me them she ignored.
Cannot it be any more a few days? It is impossible.
Lament.
I adored our adventure.
Poirot, is trying to go out from the island without saying anything? Of all, Major.
I found better to leave before the Inspector changes of ideas.
Me to come in the port, pretend that it does not know me.
For where it goes, Major? Abyssinian? Is it how that you know? I deducted what was going to like being there in the time of fighter to the ostrich.
Au revoir.
Goodbye, MonsieurPoirot.
I wait that we turn round finding.
Au revoir.
