And to everyone.
The Poirot does not look.
Then that one does not look to him a gigantic cotton? No! I think that you have no imagination none, Poirot.
It is true, mon ami.
But fortunately you have what arrives for the two.
É - extremely valuable me.
ARRIVED-WELL THE SAINT LOOE Good morning, gentleman.
Good morning.
C'est magnifies.
The ideal place for a few calm holidays.
The food will be inedible.
What it finds, Poirot? Do I go for the beach, or am going to play golf? It is in that the field of tennis it is very good.
Employee! There is still no news of the Captain Seaton.
- How? - The travel around the world of aeroplane.
They still did not lose hope.
He can have landed in that of the islands of the Peace-loving one.
Cannibals.
Creed! It leaves me proud because of being an English.
- Excuse.
- Do not lament, Hastings.
It is not any tragedy I to have been born in the wrong side of the channel.
This is intolerable! I am going to look for an employee! Garçon! Employee! Is it well? Now Do not be disturbed, Hastings.
I twisted the ankle, more not at all.
It was liking that someone was seeing that.
Only with the pleasure of his company, the pain is already passing me.
Excuse.
This is the Captain Hastings.
Hastings, imagines what that one marries it belongs to Mademoiselle Buckley.
- To serious? End House is called I adore it, but unfortunately it is in ruins.
It is a pity It is a big house.
Does she live there alone? I am out most of the time.
But when I am at home, there are always people to enter and to go out.
It was imagining what he was surviving in a mansion gloomy and mysterious, astonished for a curse of family.
It will be been amazed, the ghost is protecting me.
In the last three days, I escaped to the death three times.
- Did it escape to the death? - They were only accidents.
Cursed are these bees, I hate what pass by our face.
Nick! Nick! George! I am here! Then, to Fred it is crazy to take a drink.
- Hello.
- This is the Commander Challenger.
It belongs to the Navy.
I have a great wonder for the Real Navy.
Very well.
Do not annoy George yourself.
We are going to find to Freddie and Jim.
I appreciate the improvements of his ankle.
Merci.
Beautiful girl.
The Commander Challenger is that one the one that is called a " good boy "? Undoubtedly.
Good immersion! Does he take a fraquinho as she? What it finds, Hastings? Expensive Poirot, however I know? It is the hat of the Girl Buckley, is not it? É.
We are going to the End House to return it.
So we will have the opportunity of seeing enchanting Nick again.
He knows, I think that it has a fraquinho for her.
No It misinterprets Me, mon ami.
The young person is very nice, yes, but I am more interested in her hat.
I do not see why.
- It has a hole.
- It is true.
Was he you that the fez? Hastings, noticed her expression when it passed a bee? A bee in a cap, a hole in a hat? A bee could not do a hole so.
But a bullet could, my friend.
A bullet as this one.
Mademoiselle Nick escaped to the death in what they are now four days? They are not mere accidents, mon ami.
It was necessary that be crazy to try to kill someone in the garden of a hotel in full light of the day.
Thank you.
Good morning.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
Impressive.
They were doing to him way a few arrangements.
Yes? It is not properly courteous to ignore us so, Lazarus.
Jim is a good dancer too many to be a gentleman, is not it? I wait that yes, Freddie.
Otherwise it would be an expensive wasted teaching.
A few men are here to see it.
- Hello again.
- Pardon, Mademoiselle.
Commander.
We came to return to him the hat.
My hat? It was curious as for his whereabouts.
This one is for you, George.
There is a subject of extreme importance what I will speak with you.
Do not call what is selling something.
With this moustache and his stay in the Majestic, it cannot be.
The one that owes to herself this mystery completely? Mademoiselle It was not a bee that flew to the front of his face in the morning.
It was this.
What is this? It is a bullet.
Then I am condemned.
The Girl Buckley was kind in helping my friend when this one twisted the ankle in the morning.
He had already heard.
Just as well what is not an invented history.
It is the biggest liar who existed already.
It is a great Sun.
The next day it counted a marvellous history about the brakes of the car to fail and of her almost to have died.
Jim says that it is completely a nonsense.
Jim realizes of cars.
Is that Chevrolet Phantom his? Yes.
Is it pretty, is not it? There are two clocks on the table completely equal.
We have all an equal.
Do not touch, I make friends.
Do they give good hours? The best of the world.
- I do not manage to dance to the sound of this.
- Clear what you get, Freddie.
The first accident it was that portrait.
I think that the painter said the same thing when he finished it.
Be that as it may, it fell to way of the night.
For my luck, I have been sleeping badly and I got up to do a tea.
Opposite case, the head would have crushed me! And other accidents? The brakes of my car failed while going down the hill of Saint Looe.
The next day, a gravel fell of the cliff in the end of the garden while I was in the rocks soon down.
They are be very kind, but why the interest? Does not it understand, Mademoiselle? It is in great danger.
- Please - No, not, I say to him.
He knows who I am, clearly.
No, I do not know.
I forgot what is still young.
My friendly Captain Hastings he presents me.
Well, you.
Poirot is a detective.
A great detective.
Is my friend, alone that that can say? The Mademoiselle says that I am the only one! Bigger than it existed already! Now it is not worthwhile, you already told him.
Yes, but it is more pleasant to preserve the modesty.
But to serious, they were only accidents.
You are so obstinate like the devil.
But what I awake.
It was from there that they gave me the name.
They were saying what my grandfather had sold the soul to a devil.
He was living here with him, therefore they were calling us " old Nick and young person Nick ".
- My true name is Magdala.
- What invulgar.
It is a sort of family name.
There was many Magdalas in the family Buckley.
It was there same that I was.
And did the gravel pass him to the side? Could anybody have pushed it? No.
I say to him, accident was only different.
- Does it have enemies, Mademoiselle? - I have not, lament.
There would be someone who was making a profit with his death? No.
It is therefore that it looks completely a nonsense.
Only I have the house, but it is mortgaged and it has immense holes in the ceiling.
It is only a room that can be used, my friends stay in the Majestic.
Who is his nearest relative? My cousin Charles Vise.
He is a lawyer from here.
Give me good advices and it tries to contain my extravagances.
He treated my mortgage and did to me to rent the country house there is one year.
We saw someone cultivating there.
You.
Croft.
The typical Australian.
It is very nice.
It is very kind, but you.
Croft it is the crippled, poor one.
- Did it already do a will? - Yes, there are approximately six months, before the operation to my appendicitis.
And what the terms were of this will? I left the End House to the Charles.
There was not much any more to leave, but what existed I left to Freddie.
Talk to me about his friends.
To Freddie Rice it must be my best friend.
It left the husband there is around one year.
He does not let it get divorced.
And the Commander Challenger? Does he want to get married with you, is not it? He speaks in that from time to time, after the second glass of wine.
And do not you want? What the purpose would be of getting married? None of us has a cash.
Pará besides Lady Becomes curled, it has some friend whom could it trust? - Maggie, perhaps.
- Does who he is link? She is a distant cousin.
It grasps Yorkshire.
Normally, it is here in the Summer.
But it is not amusing at all.
The ideal person.
Ask him to come tomorrow.
Jim Lazarus, the friend of the Mrs.
Become curled, it is not made a list with the Galleries of Art Lazarus? - Exactamente.
- I was there the next day.
The motor of the Lagonda had overheated, therefore I entered Hastings.
This morning, someone Mademoiselle Buckley bleached with a pistol Mauser.
- A Mauser? - Does it know anybody who has one? - Yes, I have.
It belonged of my father.
He brought it of the war.
It disappeared.
He knows, Poirot, you.
Make frizzly that there says what the accident of car was an invention.
She says that you.
Buckley she is a lying beauty.
To serious? It is very interesting, Hastings.
It is interesting because it is and because of having when was a Lady Become curled saying it.
But because something would say it so? Even that it was true? They are small curious things.
I like seeing them appearing.
They are signs.
Very well, Poirot, but we are trying to make something impossible: We are trying to detect a murder before he has been committing the crime.
- Quite stated, Hastings.
- I do not know where to begin.
I do not like a great deal of the friends her.
With the exception of the Commander, it seems to him to be a good type.
Know, Hastings, you practise an extraordinary effect in me.
- To serious? - Yes.
It is always so inclined for the wrong direction, that almost I feel tried doubting of the commander.
Who is? Am I, Poirot.
The office is not opened.
But I pushed the door down there and it was not locked.
- Are you Monsieur Vise? - Yes.
Very much obliged because of receiving me in weekend.
Hercule Poirot.
Poirot? Poirot.
Which type of place is this? Call, Monsieur Vise, if it allows to me the question, and I did not tell anything of this to his cousin, Mademoiselle Buckley: There is some hypothesis of the house to be for sale? Not even to think.
The Girl Buckley it takes an enormous love as the house.
Nothing would convince it selling the End House.
I do not ask about them myself in vain I am to the search of a property so.
It is out of question, unfortunately.
She adores the house fanatically.
Because there would be Charles Vise of saying that she adores the house fanatically? - Did it seem to him a fanatical love? - No.
That's right.
Not even to me.
What they said in the workshop? It does not matter what I say to him, you will think that it is the opposite.
Please, Hastings Promptly, it is well.
In the workshop they said that the valve of the brakes it was loosened.
To serious? Then because he said the Lady Becomes curled that the accident of car was an invention? Does it give me permission? Lady, I do not know if his friend he said to him, but today her life it was endangered.
- How so? - They wanted to kill it in the garden of the hotel.
- Was it to Nick to whom it told him? - Is not it any fantasy, does it understand? I saw it with my eyes themselves.
There is the bullet.
The fact is that, Lady, several curious accidents happened in the last days.
- But you only arrived - Yesterday.
- And before that, was it in London? - No, it was with friends in Tavistok.
And since they were called these his friends? There is some reason for which should I answer him? No Thousand pardons.
I was rude.
The fact is that own I have there friendly, I thought that it could have been with them.
They are of the family Buchanon.
No.
But Nick talk to me more of.
Who bleached it? Why? We still do not know.
I will discover them to myself.
I am a detective.
What he wants what I do? Look after his friend.
With license.
It is opened Someone must be here.
Is anybody here? If they leave the house opened so the time completely, it surprises me they had not been all murdered.
I want that they go out very slowly with the hands over the head.
He is you.
Croft.
Quietinho there.
No, my friend.
My name is Hercule Poirot.
Who do you think that she is he, Mrs.
C? The extra-special detective, mundialmente famous, Mr.
Hercule Poirot.
It brought it to a chat with you.
What I fill with enthusiasm! Enchanté, Lady.
And the Captain Hastings, colleague of the Mr.
Poirot.
Also I read on you, captain.
Good what.
They are friends of the Girl Buckley, Mrs.
C.
Good what, it is so dear.
They do not like a great deal of her for here, I second it me is in, but it is the life, in these sieges of convinced Englishmen.
Her that treacherous cousin it has so many hypotheses to persuade it of being here once and for all since it will fly.
Then you.
Charles Vise is it in love with our friend? - Crazy! But - It swims of gossip, Melly.
I have my reasons to be interested in the girl.
Mr.
Poirot, wants to see someone photographies of the Australia? - Well - The best! I have counts to adjust with the man what invented the camera.
Nice persons.
Typical Australians.
I do not know That initial convocation, the insistence in showing us five thousand photographies? They would not be fulfilling the paper with too much do I pawn? He is Mademoiselle Nick! - Bye, George.
- Right.
- Bonjour, Mademoiselle! - Hello, Sr.
Poirot.
Captain Hastings.
Good morning.
Is the boat his? It could not support a thing of this.
It belongs of George.
I go in an instant to the station to look for Maggie.
The guardian who insisted that I was sending of Yorkshire.
Good.
I am already more glad.
But it is deceived regarding Maggie.
She is not very intelligent.
It serves only to work and not to realize jokes.
But it seems to me that here it has not been cheeping none, Mademoiselle.
Be livened up, Mr.
Poirot.
Come to have dinner today, then we are going to see the fireworks.
Call, Hastings If the Commander Challenger it has not so much money, as Mademoiselle Nick said, since he has money for a boat of this? It must be Perhaps be Perhaps she wanted to tease I do not know.
Helen? You are alone.
- Mademoiselle, I stay tristíssimo! - I lament, I was rude.
Thank you.
- Did it call, girl? - Leave to be, Helen, I answered.
They did not hand over my dress for the rears, is not it? No, girl.
From there my bad education, I thought what me were coming to hand over the dress.
Those animals they promised it to give myself up.
There is Maggie.
These are the detectives who me are protecting of the secret murderer.
She is my cousin, Maggie Buckley.
What xaile delimit, Nick.
It is going to heat me when we are seeing the fireworks.
I never saw you in a black dress.
I thought that you were hating the black.
And I hate.
They did not hand over me the dress what I wanted.
Tatty what! They did not have to allow you have a snack in the port.
It is not a launch, it is a seaplane.
I find that these pilots they are absolutely marvellous.
It is pity as for Michael Seaton.
He can be well.
She is a family of crazy ones.
His that uncle, Sir Matthew Seaton, it was doidinho.
he knew it that there is one week.
He was not the millionaire who had sanctuaries of birds? It was left by a woman and it looked for consolation next to the long dives.
I do not see reasons to presume which Michael Seaton is killed.
You knew it, I had already forgotten.
We know it in last year.
Was it marvellous, he was not Freddie? Do not ask about me, wanted.
It went to your conquest, not mine.
The Captain Hastings already sometime did it fly? Well The telephone.
Do not hope for me, I do not eat dessert.
Other guests are going to arrive for to see the fireworks soon.
VISITORS, ARE ARRIVED-WELL It is pity that you.
Croft do not be able to be here.
It is a bad luck it links to have been lacking to this.
It never links them to me if he complains.
That woman has the shape more impeccable.
It has a splendid sight of the ceremony.
Did not you come in last year? Now, see this! What a show! I delimit.
I think that I go there inside to look for a coat.
I go for it for you.
He would not know where to find it.
Maggie, also can you bring mine? It is in my room.
He did not hear.
I go for it.
- What I have been putting on does not arrive.
- Thank you, wanted.
Is it monotonous, does not it think, Hastings? Up to taste of the show.
I fear that my feet be already wet.
I am going to see the rest of the show through a window at the home.
Also I was not minding of going out from the coldness.
Poirot, sees! She is the Girl Buckley! It excuses the delay, Maggie She is Maggie Buckley and it was killed! Since the fact is that his cousin did it appear with his cape? We came for the coats and I put the cape in the sofa.
I was there above and it was still in the room when I heard Maggie saying what was not finding the coat.
She asked for me if I could be with mine if I did not want it and I said that yes and what it was already meeting her and when when I left Today I do not ask any more questions.
Girl Buckley, I suggest what is not here.
Did it have a shock, it understands? It needs complete rest.
- I know of the best clinic of rest.
- No.
But we want that cooper's adze is felt, does it understand? I understand, but you do not.
I am already not afraid.
I am wrong to live.
If they want to kill me, they can kill me.
That, Girl Buckley cannot say.
Mademoiselle, I let it stay badly.
I, that I promised to him protection, I could not protect.
But now I want to know that it is in safety, with persons to his side day and night.
What goes on? It is not to Nick, is not it? Is not she killed? No.
No, my friend.
She is alive.
Maggie My darling, I thought that you had died! Do not worry, George.
I am well.
Then what happened? They said that the Mna.
Buckley died.
It is better we take it from here, Girl Buckley.
I lament, George.
It went to Girl Maggie Buckley.
My God What tragedy.
declaration of our chancellor.
I eat announced in the report of nine hours, The hope was lost as for the pilot Sr.
Michael Seaton.
Fishermen of the island they caught wreckage what intend to belong to the Albatross, the aeroplane built by the Mr.
Seaton, in his attempt of travelling around the world.
The opposition Nobody, Dr.
Graham.
Nobody.
More dear friend her of Mademoiselle Buckley he can see it.
- Mr.
Poirot - Not even the King of England.
Nobody.
With the exception of me, of the Captain Hastings and of you.
I wish Mademoiselle him good night.
Hastings.
How she is? In safety.
Does it think that the police officer is right? What an any madman was he the author of this work? No.
The murderer is someone of the circle of Mademoiselle.
He thinks what he realized what killed the wrong person? I am sure what did not notice.
It is necessary to have been a surprise unpleasant, when he knew the truth.
It is difficult not to be denounced in circumstances of this.
Respond to me to three questions, Hastings.
- What? - Three questions.
First: Because it are what Has Mademoiselle Nick been sleeping badly? It seconds: Because it has a black dress when it ever wears black clothes? Third: Because he said it " am I already wrong to live "? - Did she say that? - He said.
Answer.
As for the sleep, she has been preoccupied.
- With what? - What? I do not know.
As for the black dress, you heard: It disappointed the laundry.
But all the women they have a black dress.
It realizes somewhat of the temperament feminine, Hastings.
Be that as it may As for the last one, it was something natural of calling itself, after that shock! No, it was not natural at all.
To be horrified after that shock when it could have been it links, yes.
In that I believe, but in the rest No.
She never demonstrated this attitude before.
It has been appearing rebellious.
Is it? Yes? Clear.
Yes.
She was a Lady Become curled, it came to speak with us.
I suppose that there is no doubt that the pretended victim was to Nick.
Lady, he would say that there is no anyone doubt.
The next day you.
Poirot did a few you ask about Tavistok.
More late or more early it will discover, therefore more it is worth counting now.
- I was never in Tavistok.
- No, Lady? I came from London in last week with you.
Lazarus.
We stayed in a siege called Shalakoom.
Joined.
I understand.
I am still a married woman technically.
Does it matter that it is impertinent? Does that nowadays still exist? It likes the Mr.
Lazarus? He is rich.
It is even ugly to say a thing of this.
It is better to be I saying, of what to be you saying it for me.
It is very intelligent.
Do not delay it gives me a diploma.
I am going to take a few flowers to Nick and to see how she is.
Very friendly.
And I thank for him for his frankness.
Very well.
I here am in the Hotel Gull's.
It is near to the refinery.
My expensive Inspector-chief, it is a pleasure to see it.
Did not it want to stay here? The Metropolitan Police officer it does not cover well these expenses.
My opinion is wanted, is it a very strange subject, is not it? He is how the Inspector-chief he says.
Billet what these accidents are they made a list? - Undoubtedly.
- Perhaps be right.
It was good the hand laid to the weapon.
It must already be in the bottom of the sea, if the murderer will have judgement.
The majority has not.
I am walking.
I am going to speak with the parents of the died one.
They arrived of Yorkshire.
Warn about me if to be discovered something, yes? It can be rested, inspector.
It is very pretty Lady Becomes curled to put the wealth of the Mr.
Lazarus for our throat do I lower, it does not think? I will say that that put me nausea.
Mon ami It always has the reaction certainty in the wrong context.
Lady Makes frizzly that it was trying to say to us the next thing: " I have a very rich friend.
He gives me what I to need.
" I do not need of murdering mine better friend for an insignificance ".
I realize.
Poirot, which means this? He does not let her see me.
Is this his work? - Did he see Dr.
Graham? - It gave me the conversation of the custom, I eat already if it was waiting.
They think that I do not know these tricks? I have an uncle in Harley Street.
I think what is behind of this, Poirot.
Hear me, my friend: It is not worthwhile to deceive it.
If a visit will be able to be received, others cannot be excluded.
Does it realize? I realize.
All or nothing, as he calls himself.
We will not say any more anything.
Now it is necessary extreme care.
I can be concealed.
Is it a private subject, is not it? I order him flowers.
Do they like flowers, do not like? I can offer him mine more deep condolences? Then he knows already Finally.
There does not matter already the one who knows.
Now that everything finished.
Now that never again I am going to see it.
Courage, Mademoiselle.
No courage remains for me.
I lost it all in the last weeks.
Waiting, with hope The Captain Hastings he does not know about what we talk.
Michael Seaton, the aviator His fiancee was and he died.
- Did he hear the news yesterday? - For the radio.
I invented an excuse as for the telephone.
He wanted to hear the news in peace.
I do not want to live.
I do not want to live.
I know All we face a height in what the death seems preferable to the life, but the suffering passes.
Does he think that I will forget? That I will get married with another person? Never.
But Mademoiselle is lucky.
It was loved by a courageous man.
- When it was does he get engaged? - Soon after the Christmas.
It me them would be a secret because of the uncle of Michael.
Sir Matthew Seaton.
He was finding what the women were spoiling the life to a man.
But it had immense pride in Michael.
He financed the construction of the Albatross.
But if Michael had been successful, it would have been independent.
It would have been I do not know, a world-wide hero.
His uncle would finish because of changing of ideas.
Yes, I realize.
I never counted to anybody.
Not even to Freddie.
Even when the uncle of Michael Seaton did it die that there is one week? It was looking a little vainglorious, while the newspapers were speaking of the flight of Michael.
Michael would have hated that.
It told Mademoiselle to us what had done a will.
Where this will is? It is guarded somewhere.
I am very untidy, they know.
Newspapers and things of the type accustom to be in the writing desk of the library.
Or perhaps in the room.
Or perhaps Excuse.
Does it authorize that I search the house? One will want.
- It was right.
- Then this of the marriage had weight.
Hear me: There is somewhat more than one week, Sir Matthew Seaton dies, what was one of the richest men of England.
Wait.
He has a nephew whom he idolizes and what it presumes to have left his vast fortune.
In last Tuesday, this nephew it is given like missing person and in Wednesday they began them attacks to the life of Mademoiselle.
There supposes what Michael Seaton it did the will before the flight and it left everything what had to his fiancee.
In this case, she is not a girl inheritance that is in play.
It is an enormous fortune! - Does the man go in front? - Comment? - Does the man go even to the end, is not it? - When I smell anything, I do not give up.
- I wait to have a good alibi.
- The alibis are not completely I presume what would not be imported of marrying with Mademoiselle Nick - He always wanted to marry with her - Precisely! Bien Mademoiselle was already that he gets engaged.
Perhaps a good motive to kill.
It me them would have been unnecessary.
Other dies like a hero Then is it true? To Nick it was compromised to such a Michael Seaton.
It walks running this rumour in the town.
- Well, I did not know! - Hello, Freddie! Then none of the men knew that Mademoiselle was does he get engaged? To Nick it can be mazinha when he wants.
But that explains the nerves - Do you have my clock? - Yes, I arranged it this morning.
- It is always with problems.
- But one said what was very right.
Yes And it is same The problem is the strap.
This fastening.
I am with headache, I am going to go to bed a little.
" With Hercule's fulfilment " Poirot.
" Merci, Lady.
I already ordered him flowers Perhaps have to order also fruit, dressing.

It was killed by a pistol, the lady.
They did not cut the throat, is not it? Are they all so, for these directions? Poor Beauty queen Buckley, was in a lamentable state, was not it? It was not doing idea where it had put the will.
Most of the persons have a secret place for these things.
Mon Dieu! There is someone false panel, this type of things, at this home? Well, in fact, even there is.
I remember of showing off when it was new.
I do not manage to remind of them myself where it was.
Here or in the room of visits - Big the sufficient thing for a person? - No, man! It was a sort of cupboard with half a square metre.
With license, man.
- Hidden panels! - I like thinking about all hypotheses.
Hypotheses! Here a hypothesis is for you, Hastings - Is it of whom? - Lady Rice.
" The party was marvellous, I feel something depressed today.

Do not even begin, it is difficult to stop.

- Nonsense, never hear! - Did Helen say that? - More oui.
But that does not interest.
What interests is the will of Magdala Buckley! - Did it use a form of will? - I had no time.
It was going to take away to appendix.

The idea of the will was of him.

Croft - Yes, he What an idiot! To ask for you to look in the End House.
It Chatter it has it, clearly.

You.
Croft said that who had to to guard a will was the lawyer.
So, we put it in an envelope and we ordered it soon.
It Chatter it has it.
It can show you, they if will be wanted.
Not without what the lady give us permission I suppose that not - No! - What the problem is? He must not eat anything that comes from abroad, Mademoiselle.
Swim! He thinks what they still did not give up What this still did not finish Dressing what still did not finish.
If the murderer threw the weapon to the sea, this is a loss of time.
The Poirot says that 93 %% % of the work of the police officer it is a loss of time.
To serious? He is a special subject - That's right.
But very observant.
- To serious? It learnt very much with me Look down, boys! But, man, I have not any will under my policewoman! She wrote it for his fist, in normal paper and it sent by post.
- No.
- Oiça, Mr.
Aim I never received anything of the type, Captain Hastings.
In this case, there is nothing saying.
It is necessary to have been a mistake.

They are six pence.
- Thank you.
Oh, they are there! I have informations interesting on the Gallery Lazarus.

The crisis of the painting damaged them, such as that of the ancient furniture.
They built new installations last year and they were worried Thank you, Inspector.
Well, is it a good motive, does not it think? Only I asked about him if it had will, more for grace what for another thing.

- Does the lawyer, know? - Is he sure what was sent? Own I was that I sent it.
There, in that box near the gate.
- It looks completely in order.
- The one who is lying, I ask about myself Monsieur Bert Croft? Or Monsieur Charles Vise? There are no reasons for you.
Croft to lie.
It has no interest in the disappearance of the will.
But what we are doing here? It looks that Dr.
McAllister.
it is what one calls " women's doctor ".
- A gynaecologist? - No.
It seems to " woman " to be a generic term for " neurotic ".
- Who is Dr.
McAllister? - Beauty queen Lemon is trying to say I went even to his surgery, in Harley Street.
It has a clinic in this place and other one in Paris.
I did not like.
There was something of unpleasant one - Was it respectable? - It was.
Very upright.
Be that as it may, he told him that it had not when what slept well and what was depressed.
- It was pretending, Captain Hastings! - Oh! Pretending I realized Already.
I managed to speak with a nurse.
One said that the Commander Challenger it goes to the clinic at least once of 10 in 10 days.
To serious? It did an excellent work, Beauty queen Lemon.
Very well! Who is Dr.
McAllister? ' Hastings! And the uncle of the Commander Challenger! - The uncle about whom he talked.
- Right.
They must have seen the waiting room! Lady Lowestoft was there.
- And you.
Bindoff.
- You think up! None was with the doctor more than five minutes.
No, Hastings, does not come.
You are going to visit.
Whitfield for us - Who is you.
Whitfield? - The lawyer whom Seaton speaks in the letter.
- He says that it ordered his will.
- Precisely.
I want what it discovers if that is true and what they are the clauses of the will.
Knowledge if the graveto is completely for Beauty queen Buckley? He will never say to me! Use his power of persuasion! "Graveto"? Me them is he in London, is not? It breaks a train for Plymouth inside 7 minutes! It can catch the train for London from there.
The Hotel Majestic, please.
- Might this box to take me? - Mr.
Poirot, there is an urgent message! It is of Dr.
Graham.
It asks to phone the clinic.
- It is important.
- Certainly.
Can it do the call in his telephone? Thank you.
- Doctor Grange, please - I do not like this type of messages.
I never respond to urgent messages, I can which space be unpleasant.
- Here it has, man.
- Thank you.
Am I, Dr.
Graham? Is inspector Japp, the man? What happened? Comment? Yes, I go already for there! Mademoiselle Nick is very badly.
It was poisoned.
They say that the thing is uncertain.
Only 50 has %% % of hypotheses.
It is impossible! Nobody could arrive near to her.
Who disobeyed me? - It was a box of chocolates.
- Sacré! He said to him not to eat anything what was coming from abroad.
- Was there cocaine in all the chocolates? - The girl ate one, there was more two in the superior layer, others were good.
- Were the things done well? - Nonetheless.
The chocolate was cut horizontally, the cocaine mingled with the stuffing and the glued chocolate again.
- How it could be so idiotic? - Still this morning I warned it! - Our murderer is clever: This came with the chocolates.
" With fulfilment of Hercule Poirot.
" I did not write this.
But it is my letter.
- It was copied of the card of the flowers.
- Very well copied, as a matter of fact.
How Beauty queen Buckley is? I failed, Beauty queen Lemon! I failed that it completes and devastadoramente.
Mademoiselle Buckley it died that there are 10 minutes.
- That is terrible.
- I know.
Poor person Poirot.
It must be devastated.
And it is.
It does not go out from the room.
He wanted that he was going out in order that we had dinner, he did not want them to me.
Since they ran the things with the lawyer, in London? Very well, in fact.
I remembered that I walked in the school with his son.
He now is a partner Be that as it may, Michael Seaton sent the will.
- And? - The Beauty queen Buckley left everything.
Millions and millions, for the visas.
The uncle had died recently.
Call exactamente when and how the order arrived for the lady.
The one who brought it was a brown man.
It arrived in a big and red car.
- Lazarus, then - What it did with her? I put it here on top of the table.
They were approximately two and it halves Everything what arrives for the patients it is put there to be taken then.
I entered to the service ás three in point.
Well, ás five for the three, because I caught driver's seat of Dr.
Graham.
Be that as it may, I took the packet.
So, during half an hour it was on the table without anybody for near.
There was the box of chocolates, flowers of the Mr.
Croft and a packet of the mail.
Also it was a box of chocolates.
- Comment? Another box of chocolates? - Yes, a coincidence.
Be that as it may, Beauty queen Buckley it opened two packets and since he saw that one of the cards was his he said that there was no problem, but to take other from there.
- Of who was other? - It had no card.
But which was what had my card? What was handed in hand or by post? I am not sure.
Beauty queen Buckley it unwrapped them before looking, I cannot say.
The man left a box of chocolates for Beauty queen Buckley in the clinic, yesterday.
- Yes, I left.
- Very nice on his part.
In fact, they were of Freddie You.
Become curled.
It asked for me to take them.
- I am seeing.
- Have they still no traces? - He would not say so much.
- I want it hung, be who will go.
Because it is completely so complicated? Two boxes of chocolates, one of them with his card inside, the girl does not remember which of them and we do not know who was in charge that of the mail.
Lazarus handed over one, but not in his name.
- She does not want to see anybody.
- There says to him what You say.
Make frizzly what is his friend, Hercule Poirot.
She asked if they were not imported of going away.
With license.
- Disappear! How do they dare? - It is an investigation of murder, not the tea of the parish.
It ordered one box of chocolates to Beauty queen Buckley - I do not submit to these things! - Two persons were murdered, his friend died with poisoned chocolates, we know that it ordered a box.
Does it think that I killed to Nick? We will investigate the newspaper commentaries hypotheses.
Even the most remote.
To Nick it phoned asking chocolates.
- Did she phone asking chocolates? - Yes.
And therefore I sent them to him.
- How her voice was to the telephone? - The voice? It was well.
Something weak, I did not realize who was.
Until she says who was? Yes.
Is he sure what was his friend? Of course Well Who more could be? - Well, it was not a great advancement - I do not realize anything! Swim! I am in the dark.
I seem a child.
Who would win with her death? Lady Becomes curled! The one who buys the chocolates, admits it and it invents an improbable history on a phone call? Lady Becomes curled! - It is too simple! Lout! - Me them she consumes cocaine, as he says.
- It is not necessary to deceive.
- And there was cocaine in the chocolates.
She is not rude.
The murderer tried four times and it failed.
To the fifth attempt, it got.
What he wanted? What would bring the death of Mademoiselle of so desirable for the murderer? Well, now we will see.
Today, perhaps everything is clear.
I cannot eat these eggs, they have completely different sizes.
But, besides the Mr.
Lazarus and of the Mrs.
does There become curled, the one who is more? Well, we have the Croft.
Australians.
Are they here why? It will be that he sent the will of Beauty queen Buckley? And if not, why? There is the cousin, Charles Vise.
He can think that it keeps everything.
- Do I think that they are all, they are not, Poirot? - There can be one more person - I do not manage to see who.
- Not even I.
- Mr.
Poirot? - Yes? - Telephone for you, in the entry.
- Who is? - A such one of Charles Vise.
- Oh! The things begin to be moved! With license When? This morning? No We cannot wait.
Tonight.
Yes Yes Au revoir.
- Be begin! - What goes on? Monsieur Charles Vise finished of inquiring that, this morning, it received by post the will of his cousin, Mademoiselle Buckley, when it dated from 25 of last February.
- Did it stay six months to arrive? - And it arrived even at a certain moment.
- But she leaves everything you.
Become curled? You.
Aim that he is a gentleman and does not say nothing on the content of the will.
But it is the will, witnessed for Helen Wilson and husband.
So, we turn to an old man problem: Frederica Rice.
- What pretty name, Frederica.
- The diminutive is not so pretty: " Freddie.
" You n'est shovels joli for a young lady.
There are no many diminutives for Frederica.
He is not like Elizabeth: Eliza, Liz, Betty, Betsy, Bess - Thank you, Beauty queen Lemon, that was - Or Margaret.
Also there are many people: Maggie, Madge - Margot.
- Peggie.
Margie.
Meg.
Meggie.
Oh, it is there, Poirot.
I have been walking to his search.
- What his name is, Inspector-chief? - Which name? His proper name.
- James.
- James Japp.
- Jim, Jimmy Japp.
- Jamie Japp.
The Inspector-chief Japp and I we are going to leave you playing.
- And for Hercule? - There is none for Hercule.
Herc? It can be that one for that the murderer it was to the wait, Inspector.
We cannot be sure, clear.
It wraps complex motivations - Mon Dieu! - What goes on? I have been blind! I blind! Complex, was it what he said? More non! Of an extreme simplicity! Do one's utmost! Miserable what I am! I did not see anything! S'il vous plaît.
Well, here we are.
It is always a change, I must say.
Bert, look, we are going to seat ourselves near of the nice Captain Hastings.
I think that we are all, Monsieur Vise.
Normally, the will it is read after the funeral of the dead person.
In this case, I propose to read it now.
In spite of messenger last Fevereiro, only I received it this morning.
However, in spite of informal, it carries out the requisites to be accepted.
" This is the will and last will of Magdala Buckley.
" I nominate my cousin, Charles Vise, like my executioner.
" I leave all my goods to the height of my death Mildred Croft " in grateful recognition of the services given to my father, Philip Buckley, " these services what nobody will be able to pay.
Signed, Magdala Buckley.
" It is true.
It is not that it was walking thereabouts to spread it.
Philip Buckley was in the Australia and I was not - Well, to continue is not worthwhile.
- Perhaps be worthwhile, Mrs.
Croft.
It was a secret up to now and it it had to keep on being.
She knew, however.
, I want to say to Nick.
I presume what the father has told to him.
This proves that there is gratitude in the world and the one who affirms the opposite it is missed.
Mr.
Aim, like nearer relative, can it refute the will, is not it? There is a great fortune in play, what was not happening when the will was written.
To refute would not go on for the head the will of my cousin.
The man is honest.
I am going to guarantee what is not damaged therefore.
Well, Mrs.
C This is a surprise.
My dear girl.
It was liking what it links he could see us to all.
Perhaps get, the one who knows? Perhaps.
An idea.
We are lucky of having with us Mademoiselle Lemon.
She does not like boasting, but Mademoiselle Lemon it has medium's powers.
Here we are all seated to the turn of a table, let's invoke spirits! - Well, I not - Great idea! - An invocation? But, of certainty - This is absurd! - No! It is going to be interesting.
- Because not? Prepared, Mademoiselle Lemon? I am going to disconnect the lights.
Will we give the hands, it is not so? - Well - All hand in hand! E Now We will have silence absolute, please, while Mademoiselle Lemon it enters in ordeal.
- Billet what - Silence, please.
Yes, she is going to enter in ordeal.
Is anybody there? I think that it is in the height of stopping with the joke.
Is anybody there? It is she! It returned! The one who is murdered always returns.
It is she.
- You are real.
- So I am! Thank goodness! Thank goodness! Who is responsible for the joke? I was that I asked the Mademoiselle Nick to feign what had had died, I lament.
Obliged by everything what it did for my father.
But it will not be still able to take advantage of the will that it forged.
It was a joke, wanted, a joke.
- It has even great joke, really.
- It was a departure - Is this will false? - Yes.
A good falsification.
- There are no proofs of anything.
- Does it swim? The will forges me and when I do not die predicted how, does it try to kill me? - No! It did not get, mine killed them to me it excels for mistake.
And does he still say " anything "? - We had nothing to do with that.
- Do not say anything, Bert! We can have forged We did not kill them to me anybody! Take them of my house, Inspector! We had nothing to do with the death of the girl.
Everything is the best to have finished.
I hated to do this - To be wrong, my friends.
- Since you are well! I think that it is the moment of commemorating! Perhaps.
Or the moment of the truth Inspector-chief Japp.
There is somewhat, following the informations of the Mr.
Poirot, I hid behind a screen, in the library.
When they all were in the room of you visit, a person entered at the home.
This person went even to the secret panel in the library It withdrew the object that there was and it went even to the corridor.
This person arrives here and it does a curious thing.
It puts the object what it withdrew of the panel in that of the pockets of these coats.
- Mrs.
Rice.
- Yes? Help me, please.
See the pocket of his coat.
Show me what there is! - It is not there not at all, only the gloves.
- The will becomes, Mrs.
Become curled.
- Gloves.
- Another pocket.
- This is not mine.
- It is trying to be incriminated No.
Someone is trying to incriminate Lady Becomes curled, but he is not the Inspector Japp.
And it is not the Poirot.
Merci.
Maggie Buckley was murdered, nobody doubts.
But it will be what era Mademoiselle Nick what were trying to kill? It was not doing sense.
Mademoiselle Nick adores End House.
Is not it so? But it is driven to despair by money to manage to maintain the house.
" What luck ", he thinks that it links, when it knows the young aviator Michael Seaton.
Link them to me he does not fall in love with her, he falls in love with another person.
What plays the fool.
It imagines, then, a terrible plan in his limit cabecinha.
When I thought about this, I reminded of myself of something that Hastings and they were saying Beauty queen Lemon that there is somewhat.
That there are many abbreviations for Margaret Maggie, Margot, Madge, etc.
I wondered to own me: Which was the true name of Maggie Buckley? And, tout d'un coup, it me appeared: There is two Magdala Buckley.
- Good Lord! - It is a nonsense, Freddie! A slander! Chatter, you are my lawyer.
Magdala is a name of the family.
But Michael Seaton did not know what Nick's name also was Magdala.
Only it knows her as Nick.
In his informal will, he says only what leaves everything to Magdala Buckley.
It is false! Each word of what he says is false! Voilá! The person who killed Mademoiselle Maggie: Nick! - Is it crazy? Because it would kill Maggie? - To inherit the money of Seaton! It was of her that he was I get engaged, not of you.
He fell in love with her! Not for you.
His rude little man, do not know anything! You are all so louts! Let me go for the clock.
We go, then.
- She would never manage to run away - My expensive Inspector-chief, she almost escaped! Up to the Poirot it was falling in the springe.
Maggie's murder was easy and returning more convincing, Mademoiselle Nick continued them attempts of murder of own her.
What is that it alerted it for this? I find that the letters of love of Michael Seaton.
Mademoiselle Nick only stole those who had not Maggie's name.
They were to me something more: In 27 of last February, Mademoiselle Nick it did an operation to the appendix.
But there is a letter of Michael Seaton of 2 of March that does not mention that.
She is a special girl.
Cannot it avoid it, they know? It is going to be very unpleasant.
I have to defend it, suppose.
I think that it is not going to be necessary.
I am not wrong, the clock of Mademoiselle Nick it is going to avoid the necessity of judgement.
Because it is in the clock that it hides the cocaine, is not it? How? Which devil is saying? Do not try to be wrong, Commander, with his ways of good boy.
The man wins enough with that With the drug trafficking The man and his uncle in Harley Street? - Look there! - What billet of the drug trafficking? It is not a thing that pleases me, by chance.
I think that it is better terms a conversation, Commander.
Good Lord! Cocaine in the clock? It is therefore that she wanted the clock, n'est you shovels? But that is awful! It is right, is awful.
But it is better than the hanging.
It is good, in the end of a case, to know all the truth, finally.
I always thought that he knew everything, anyway.
It is true.
Here one is for you, Inspector-chief.
But none for you.
Poirot, because I read an article in the train on like the ice-creams they do badly to the grey celulazinhas.
But two for me, because I already have not them, anyway.
Are they very amusing, are not they? They get on well with the sea, for the visas.
Perhaps leave them this way when it will return for London.
Thank you.
Santé.
