Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989) s04e02 Episode Script

Death in the Clouds

DEATH IN the CLOUDS Allow me, Mademoiselle.
Thank you.
It seems an enormous cake of anniversary, does not it find? So strange and out of place in this beautiful district.
In the end of last century, great artists were living here.
Renoir, Manet, Van Gogh, their series I am amused to imagine their fright while seeing it being built.
I even find her quite pretty.
When they here were living, Montmartre was a village in the field.
It is a strange church for a village, does not it find? I for me am very happy for this already not to be the field.
I prefer much more the stones of the sidewalk under the feet.
With license.
I prefer to spend the afternoon going shopping.
There are haughty shops in Paris.
It is totally absurd - We already have the tickets, when she was wanted.
- We came here for that, Cecily.
Thank you, Venetia, I know.
But I never thought that we would pass the week informs seeing tennis.
For the sake of God! Frankly! I find such rude Frenchmen, do not you agree, Venetia? Where Madeleine is? Madeleine! - It goes me for the cigarettes.
- Yes, Lady Horbury.
Equals, Mr.
Perry.
You.
Perry wins for 4-3, in the first "set".
Excuse.
He played very well.
You have to admit it, Cecily.
Who? Fred Perry, darling.
English.
He was liking having seen in Wimbledon.
They say that it was marvellous.
- Let's hope gain again to end.
- Was it good, was not it? Hello.
He wanted to apologise to him if my palms deafened it.
- Do not be preoccupied.
- Did it like the play? Very much.
Is it a beautiful tournament, is not it? - I am Norman Gale.
- Jane Grey.
- Was not she a queen? - For a little time.
But there is no relationship.
I am a simple landlady.
I wait what does not leave before end.
Not at all.
It was not losing it for anything.
The best.
Garçon! Frankly! Go there! Go there! - Obliged by the beautiful dinner, Stephen.
- Just as well that you liked.
Do not worry since Cecily has not been appearing.
To serious! There must be a good reason.
It must already have returned for the hotel.
She was never so badly like this week.
It was the best you had come with us.
My specialty it is to be a friend of the family.
It is the paper of my life.
Good night, Lady Monsieur.
Good night.
Lady! - The Lady Giselle, please.
- It is in the 1st floor.
I do not tolerate that, realize! I do not tolerate that! Hello, wanted.
Do not you manage to sleep? They are 3 hours of the morning.
To serious? Do you you saw it? ' - To whom? - That woman.
Perhaps it had visited him.
Or, perhaps, even I did not even do.
Did you go to a casino? I confess that I spent a few francs, yes.
I do not help already any more, Cecily.
Say that to her! You are not so excited, wanted.
You and the Venetia they adore floor of horse, and I like smoking and drinking and of losing money in the roulette.
Since the people amuse herself to our way, I do not see what the problem is.
I return for London in the morning.
And do you lose to end? What will think the Venetia? Mademoiselle I never judged it an admiradora of " avant garde ".
Hello again.
It is a bit confused with what he sees? By the way even I am.
That does not surprise me.
The surrealists were freed of the demands of the logic.
They do not paint what we saw, the real world, since we call him.
They struggle to express the unconscious, the fantastic world.
We cannot use the logic to penetrate his world.
We will live.
We will have the open spirit, and it swims more.
Come, I am going to show him more.
Call, Mademoiselle Grey, which idea does it have of the world now, after the surrealists to have opened the spirit? It is with a stranger aspect, in fact, but it must be temporarily.
It was fascinating to have known it, Mr.
Poirot.
It is be very kindly.
No, to serious.
But now there is a piece of Paris that I would like showing him.
A siege in which it was never, I am sure.
Do not be so certain.
I already saw great thing in Paris.
It was very clever in having arranged me ticket so suddenly It is there his place.
I thank for him very much.
- It is very kind.
- We see each other then.
I do not know because you stayed, Cecily.
Because you were not with Stephen? Perhaps this is preferable being put in the field, with that mud completely and manure of horse.
You had to know how it was before getting married with him.
One never knows how a husband is before getting married with him.
He is one of the problems of the marriage.
Will not you have stayed for other reasons? What you want to say? And that actor your friend? Is not he the fallen in love one of the tennis? It is interesting the Englishmen they find that the tennis is their invention, and what have a right to all the trophies, when it in fact is a French play.
" Jeu of paume.
" Of the century XI, I suppose.
Was she a broken beauty, was not it? Perry crushed the Cramm.
- Do not you go to Wimbledon? - I for me, no.
It depends if it will get rest.
I also.
Garçon! You drank already very much, Cecily.
I have not anything for you.
Even at all, does it realize? The cupboard is empty! Be no any more money, it realizes? Pardon! Good morning.
Welcome on board.
The Beauty queen Grey is going to travel with us, and it is at our disposal.
What delight.
We are going to have a party.
And we have more company.
More two fans of the tennis.
It is true, I saw them yesterday.
But what coincidence.
No, not, Mr.
Galley.
It is not a coincidence.
He is going to Paris to see the tennis, and when it finishes, one returns for house.
What there can exist of more logical? Good morning, Monsieur.
It is for the airport.
Goodbye, Elise.
Up to abbreviation.
Au revoir, Lady.
- Good morning, man.
- Good morning.
One will need, it is here.
Good morning.
It is there in the tip, on the right, Mr.
Galley.
Treat for Norman, one will want.
One allows me, I keep a blanket.
- His hat.
- Very much thank you.
This way, my ladies.
Lady Horbury Beauty queen Kerr.
- Completely in order, Mr.
Dupont? - Yes.
- Does he want that it guards the suitcase? - No.
It has archaeological valuable pieces.
Pipes of Equatorial Africa.
For a conversation in the Society Briton of Archaeology.
Interesting what.
Does it give me permission? This way, Lady.
The question apologizes, but I am curious.
He is not you.
Daniel Clancy, the writer of detective stories? I am, yes.
I am a great admirer of his stories of Wilbraham Rice.
He is brilliant, a truthful nature, in the way as it always discovers the criminal.
There are heights in which not even I know since he gets.
My nail! Steward! Commissioner! What it wants, Lady? Call my servant.
It is in another compartment.
It links what swallows me the case of "toilette".
Thank you, Madeleine.
It is completely.
Does one feel well? No, I do not feel.
Thank you.
How can I feel well? Does not he want a drink? No, thank you.
My stomach - Does he want to eat anything? - Yes, please.
You do not mind, Cecily It is not that.
My throat Clear what not, wanted.
Does he want more coffee? Coffee, girl? - Does he want more coffee? - No, thank you.
Does he want more coffee, Lady? Holy God! Is there here a doctor? - Is there here a doctor? - I am a dentist.
Can I help? What happened? She is killed.
Was it a fainting fit? It does not look to me.
Notice.
It is a prick of wasp.
I killed one with the soup bowl.
I also saw it.
There are persons who die with pricks of wasp.
Return for your places.
We are ready landing.
What is this? Another wasp? It is similar greatly to a wasp, but it is not a wasp.
It is a dart, creed.
A native dart.
Of the South America, I suppose.
Had he already seen one of this? ' By chance already.
And better to be careful.
It is right, yes.
We will be very careful.
Because, unless it is deceived, my friends, the tip is covered of poison.
I ask great excuse, ladies and gentlemen.
The Police officer is not going to keep them much time.
They is alone inspecting your luggage of hand.
- Excuse, Mr.
Poirot.
- Say.
- One matters of coming here out? - Certainly.
I did not say that there was anything of suspect in him? It seems to me that it cannot even travel by fly anybody is not killed! I was in the Sureté, in Paris.
Such a Fournier spoke with.
- Inspector Fournier? - I do not know.
I asked him to know of the victim, me them he already knew everything of her.
One calls Marie Giselle.
A known loan shark.
It lends money to the high society.
It is always to couple of the last scandals, and then it uses them to blackmail them when they are delayed in the payments.
And what is that you know? He was sitting down to some meters of the scene of the crime.
Unfortunately, it was sleeping in the height of the crime.
Sleeping to serious? But even so it must have a theory about whom it committed it.
Since the fact is that I can have a theory, when I still did not understand well what happened? But is it strange, does not it think? Death with a poisoned dart, in an English aeroplane.
It is more gentle what! Jean Dupont.
A big book.
In French.
A cigar-holder of ivory, I find.
A small diary flood of gatafunhos.
Hollow ornamental tubes He is going to see that they are African pipes.
I was not sleeping the time completely.
It was what you.
Dupont he said to the landlady, the Beauty queen Grey.
You.
Dupont is an archaeologist.
Perhaps be a trace.
Are it what for what it looks, inspector? I ask that it is like the dart it entered in the body.
It must refer to the method of the South American Indians, what shoot the native thorn, such as it was discovered in the body, through the wooden tube, is not it that? Since but the fact is that it is how that he knows of the South American Indians? Because I spoke with you.
Daniel Clancy.
The famous writer of police stories? And creator of the famous detective, you.
Wilbraham Rice? You.
Clancy was one of the passengers in the aeroplane.
It studied the subject for one of his books.
- Oh, yes? - It was what it links he called myself.
After finishing, it does not give me a copy of the list of the personal effects of each passenger? It would have great interest for me.
Interest why? Are it what for what it looks? I do not know.
I walk that it is behind the object what will be the answer for a question that preoccupies me.
But the dilemmas are this with what we fight daily, or not? With license.
But what great help Norman Gale a magazine Strand.
A box of matches " England Glory ", discharges.
A white coat of linen.
Two dentist's mirrors.
Rolinhos from cotton.
Billets that he will be a dentist? It is an invasion of privacy unforgivable.
I want to speak immediately with my husband and my lawyer! It is not worth of anything, Cecily.
It is a proceeding absolutely normal.
The weapon of the crime can be hidden in the suitcase or bag of someone.
Take me to a telephone! This way, Lady.
- It is here.
- Yes, lady.
Excuse, it cannot enter them to me.
It is the orders what I have! We will go on board.
I have rigorous orders! But we still did not clean anything.
There are soup bowls and everything it more He does not let us in.
It is ridiculous! Since I work here Do favor, Mr.
Mitchell.
It gives me permission, Mr.
Police? It is only an instant.
He wanted to ask you a question, if they are not imported.
Some of you saw a wasp during the flight? I saw the wasp crushed in the saucer of the French young person, when I gave him more coffee.
But did he see the lively wasp? Some of you saw it flying around the cabin? - I did not see it.
- I also not.
But it was not the dart that killed it? Is not it already explained? More it is probable, Mademoiselle.
When it was the last time what he saw the Lady Giselle with life? I think that it was after withdrawing the plates after the meal.
And it was alive when I laid the coffee.
A few minutes after that.
Very much thank you.
Only one more question.
The Lady Giselle had already flown with you previously? I had never seen it.
But only I work here there are a few weeks.
Certainly.
And the man? To be a franc, she was a very frequent passenger.
It used to go in the aeroplane of 9 hours, the first aeroplane of the morning.
This one is full, for times, they are always to me place in that of the 9.
They found any thing.
It is better to come with me.
Very much thank you.
A wooden tube.
I am seeing, inspector.
It was for what I was looking! Now only we will discover like stopping vein here.
Is he seeing the marks? It is going to discover what is South American such as the dart.
What is that? I do not know.
But it is going to become obvious, of certainty.
The wooden tube is lovely, does not it find, inspector? To be a franc, it does not interest me if it is lovely or South American.
At this moment only I want to know who is that one was sitting here! Was I, inspector.
Good, the thing takes a different course.
Not at all! See the fingerprints, please.
I insist on that.
I know that it is his duty like agent of the Scotland Yard, to face all like culprits until his innocence is proved.
And leave what he says to him, what is my duty to rehabilitate my name of this inexcusable slander, it as fast as possible.
Stephen? He would speak with you.
An awful thing happened.
There was a murder.
Yes, in the aeroplane.
That woman, the Giselle.
Police officer! Open the door! Open immediately the door! Inspector Fournier da Sureté.
Much pleasure, inspector.
- I want to speak with the chief.
- Excuse, Lady.
Me do not come with that.
Does he know who I am? It is going to discover, inspector, what is the Lady Horbury.
- I said already to him! - I am touched, I What the problem is, Mr.
Police? - Is he the most graduated agent? - Yes, I am the inspector Japp.
I want to speak with you alone.
I want to present complaint.
Return for the room, please.
I am already going to question all.
Inspector Japp It would be better to speak now with the Lady Horbury.
She was sitting down at the place at the front of mine.
Was it? Very well, Mr.
Police.
He had already seen this before, Lady Horbury? No, of certainty.
Why? During the flight, he saw someone to move for the rears? - What it has to do with that? - Answer, please.
No.
I was turned ahead, and I never left from my place.
I was thinking in the last half hour, in special.
Did not it notice even anybody? Besides the steward and of the landlady, what were doing his service and they passed by me sometimes.
Did he see a wasp? A wasp? No.
And did the lady know the victim? No.
He had never seen it before! And I thinking that we were progressing Is it preoccupied by anything? I had just known for the Fournier, that they had gone the house of the Giselle.
But when they entered, the ray of the servant it had already destroyed all the papers! Then it must have been in the hour of lunch that the man informed them of the event.
I do not realize.
The hour of lunch is very important in France.
To eat up and to do to him a siesta then.
And not to catch criminals or to gather proofs.
Why does it need the papers? Because I find that the Lady Horbury it knew the Giselle.
I saw in her glance I need them to myself of proofs.
I said they that the examination of the luggage it was a pure loss of time! It does not mean what do not suspect of us, only because they excused us.
Only it means what did not find you try to keep us here.
Excuse, that gentleman of moustaches Can he tell me who is he? He is Hercule Poirot.
The famous detective.
Some of you saw someone passing for the Lady Giselle during the flight? I saw, when I was distributing the meals.
I saw you.
Clancy to pass by her.
It was taking a book with him.
It must have it taken away of the bag or of the coat.
It returned with him for his place.
He did a pause when he passed, or did it do anything of invulgar? I find that not, but I was not brought together in him.
Since I am still not got used, it was afraid of dropping the food.
I understand.
- And do they become more anybody to stand up? - No I by chance got up, but I was alone to the bathroom.
What is in another tip of the cabin - Goodbye, Sr.
Gale.
- Monsieur Poirot.
What an amazing house! He would like saying that it is mine, but it belongs of my uncle.
The surgery also is here.
We work here both.
Good goodbye.
Goodbye.
Ear it would be free to have dinner with me? Perhaps tomorrow night? What kindness It is well.
The best.
I him phone tomorrow.
He is thinking about the Mr.
Galley? By chance, no.
He was thinking about the Mr.
Dupont.
The archaeologist Because it is that he thought about him? Because it links me to ask came who was the man.
I found a bit strange.
Since he sees, for the Poirot, nobody is above suspicion.
I wait what does not think that one of them killed the poor woman.
Any of them might have done it, in fact.
Merci.
You.
Galley because it might have access to the poison.
It knew the doctors, it would be easy.
And you.
Dupont because it travels for the world it had been, visiting exotic places, and it might have arranged the poison and the darts.
And, clear, it was him that killed the wasp.
But I thought that she had been killed by the dart.
So, the wasp is more suggestive of interesting what.
Mademoiselle Grey would it do the favor of helping me? Good afternoon.
Thank you, Mademoiselle.
Good night.
- Mr.
Poirot? - Yes.
I am the Lord Horbury.
Do favor.
Thank you.
My woman it was not in done fact for the life that I lead.
Our marriage is, in fact, a fiasco.
The fault is completely mine, I admit.
I fell in love crazy with her.
She was an actress, and he knows how the actresses are.
How they are the actresses, Lorde Horbury? They are completely for all the men, because I know.
She fulfilled in the perfection the paper of "Lady" of the field, up to being wearied by the paper.
Because it came to have with me? The Police officer already visited us.
I do not know how they discovered, but they know already that she knew the victim.
And it finds what this would be a justification for her killing? No! We do not get on well, as he said.
Not even at all.
I know them to myself about what it is able.
And she would never be able of committing a murder! We are here watching the house, there is hour and a half.
He is not going to appear! You.
Clancy is going to appears again, there can be certain of that.
There he is.
One does not forget of the shorthand.
He said already to him that I do not know shorthand.
You.
Clancy also must not know.
Do the aspects with autoconfidence.
That is going to annoy it.
I must confess, Mr.
Clancy, that I feel lost thing.
I try to deduct the one who is the murderer of the Lady Giselle but there are several suspects.
The grey mass never leaves me to be badly, but in this case And, in despair, I came to have with you.
Why? Because I am a great admirer of his detective, Make it frizzly.
It has crazy logic, and such intelligence By the way, Mr.
Clancy, I read everything what the man wrote.
The Beauty queen Grey agreed in helping me.
I know that the man will have a theory on whom it committed the crime.
The kindness will have been to say it to me, the Beauty queen Grey writes down it for me being able to study then.
Excuse, but it is impossible.
' Do not say that.
And very modest.
' I am weak in this type of things.
And the Wilbraham that solves the cases.
It resolves everything for me.
It is fantastic.
Just now when I left, it was him that helped me.
We recreated a murder an awful esfaqueamento.
I am talking about a real crime, Mr.
Clancy.
And the man is one of the principal suspects.
It is true, it had the opportunity, and it was seen passing for Lady Giselle during the flight.
I deny that! But I saw it, Mr.
Clancy.
It was taking a book with you.
Oh so, clear! My Bradshaw! It has the time-tables of the trains.
Going said the Wilbraham to me to see the alibi of the villain.
And it had great reason.
It resolved the case.
I would not have noticed that! Perhaps you.
Become curled be able to resolve another enigma.
One said what he knew about the Indians South Americans and of his poisoned darts because of one of his books.
But there is no mention of this subject in any of his books.
But, for my surprise, what I see in his shelf? This.
With the powers that it gives me the Conservative of Paris, I declare them husband and woman.
For the Police officer, it does favor.
It is very important.
Fast! - Does Englishman speak? - Yes.
Why? - Is it put in charge of the case Giselle? - Yes.
My name is Anne and I am a daughter of Lady Giselle.
I came to demand my inheritance.
Is it anxious for the flight? It is going to be a bit rough.
They wait for strong winds on the Channel.
I inquired already, inspector.
The air is going to be lovely calm all day.
Snag, I was canceling the flight, and the man was going alone.
It was playing.
I was speaking again with the Lord and the Lady Horbury.
I admire his perseverance.
And with the Venetia Kerr.
It is obvious that the Lady Horbury it was going to play every night in Paris, and it was returning in an awful state.
But in the morning before the departure, it returned particularly desperate.
And from there it assumed a relation with the Lady Giselle.
And it is therefore that we go to Paris, to see what more we discover to incriminate the Lady Horbury.
Clear it is not for that that there we go? Or it has a different theory what it does not want to say to me? I am arriving to certain conclusions, what, unfortunately, they still do not do sense.
First, I ended that the wasp it is of vital importance.
So, me them she was not killed for the wasp.
Our laboratory it already confirmed that.
And at according to place, the appearance of the Lady's daughter Giselle, what we assume it will come to inherit the money of the mother.
Unless it is a will in opposite.
Yes, it is possible that the daughter be an impostora, or what perhaps the Lady Giselle do not have even a daughter! - Does it want to order? - An English breakfast.
Does it give me permission? I can use his place for an instant only? Thank you.
Monsieur Thank you.
What it is doing? Pardon? - Where it arranged that? - This? Of the Mr.
Daniel Clancy.
It was at his home.
That they are proofs, Poirot.
In this case, inspector, I offer this him.
It already has not any more usefulness for me.
I wait what does not do here the scenes what it did in the aeroplane.
My experiences they were very useful.
They showed up to what I work as a prompter the Lady Horbury is dangerous.
I well was saying.
To be able to blow the dart of a tip of the cabin for other one, it must have, for already, a few great lungs.
And then, his aim will be so good I eat that of Fred Perry.
And finally, it must have the capacity of becoming invisible for nobody having seen doing that.
Excuse, my friend.
Did the Poirot go too far? You surprise me, and soon a person as you.
We are speaking it is of the psychological moment.
Who killed the Giselle, he wants that she is the Lady Horbury or even Daniel Clancy, it chose the psychological moment in what nobody was attentive.
And they might shoot the dart of the siege that they wanted.
Psychology! It is right, inspector.
There was a psychological reason in order that nobody has been seeing the murderer.
And it is that that we will discover.
But first we have to speak with the daughter, one is that she is really a daughter.
Did it go away how? It was to come here today, in order that I take away more given.
She was in a hurry, it did not turn them to me here.
We are going to look for it, Fournier.
Does not it find a good plan? The problem is this.
I do not know where looking.
Did not it keep the residence? No.
To the end and to the end, she came to demand the inheritance, a great amount of money, probably.
Because it would not return here? Inspector-chief It would like what was here collaborating with the inspector Fournier.
Do not arrange problems, please.
We need much the help of the Sureté.
We already had their help and see well in what it gave! Please, inspector.
It is remembered of me having withdrawn of the tube a bit of paper? I have been walking studying it.
Notice, please.
A boy has been writing "f" that I suppose to be of " francs ".
I think that it is the rest of the etiquette of the price, which was pulled out.
Therefore, the tube must have been acquired in a shop of Paris.
It did not come then of the South American Indians? No.
But now we will know where it is such a shop.
And the Fournier and his people they it are going to help to find it.
And what is what the man is going to do? For already, I will rest the grey mass.
And then I am going to investigate the case of the lost daughter.
Bonjour.
A man reserved me a room.
One calls Poirot.
Yes, clear, you.
Hercule Poirot.
And the lady is the Beauty queen Grey.
Yes.
Thank you.
How it is, Beauty queen Grey? Since it is, Mr.
Dupont? But what astonishes.
Where do we go? I am going to show him some notable things what the archaeologists exhumed in the past.
Wait there, this is ridiculous.
How he knew where to be? It was easy.
I called the airline.
He said that he was his brother and it was urgent what was contacting it.
- But why? - I need his help.
- Did it already exhume anything like this? - Personally still not.
It is my father who was the expert.
It dedicated his life to the study of Equatorial Africa.
It died last year.
And I plan to do there an expedition to continue his work.
It is a good idea.
Unfortunately I have no money.
I need money to finance it.
I look for private donations, but the persons are awful.
They do not tie anything to the primitive culture.
I wait what does not think about me.
Who had given me to have money.
No, I did not think about you, Mademoiselle Grey.
I thought about the gentleman of the moustaches, you.
Poirot.
He is a man with class, a cultured person.
I suppose that it has money.
- Does it know it well? - Well, no.
Not at all.
What suffers.
It wanted to ask for him a small donation.
The Poirot to give money to excavate Africa? " Mon dieu! " But perhaps do not be a bad idea We arrived already.
I am going to need his advice.
Do I eat can help it? Is she a daughter also, or not? We knew that the Lady Giselle it had a daughter.
But perhaps it do not be true.
It is a place arrepiante, cold and not much friendly.
It would not find it a home.
Nothing of people has.
Not even at all.
It is right.
Do favor.
There are no memories, not even photos, not even memories.
Did the Lady Giselle have family, Elise? No, Monsieur.
Her parents died.
"Mort"? What she said? That someone died? The mistress had no family.
Her parents died.
- Did she have children? - No.
None.
And had it no children? It is curious, Elise.
A woman appeared what calls Anne Giselle.
Anne?! Did Anne Giselle appear?! She knows the name.
Anne Giselle exists.
Is Anne the daughter of the Lady Giselle? É.
She was his illegitimate child.
I took care of her for the Lady up to them having been separated.
The fact was that there are 23 years.
Never again I saw it again.
The Lady's daughter Giselle it was illegitimate and the Elise would take care of her.
She did not speak in 23 years behind? The fact was that there are 23 years that the mistress it took from baby to the Elise, and she never again saw it.
Wait there.
Thank you.
Poirot? With license.
We located the shop what sold the dart.
It is of a Greek called Zeropoulos.
The best! The efficiency of the French Police officer.
- Notice this.
- What is? A photo of the daughter of Lady Giselle.
Fantastic it is going to help very much to locate it.
Wait there.
I have here a few photos.
Excuse.
Some of these persons were they here? Does it recognize someone, Elise? No! Only one more question.
It reserved the flight for Lady Giselle? - What it asked? - Yes.
Because the fact is that she did not catch the flight of the nine of the morning? It was full.
There was already no place.
I asked about him because it are what it links it did not catch the aeroplane of the morning.
And because it was? Because it of 9 hours it was full, clear.
There was no place.
There cannot be better reason, is not it? Does Englishman speak? English? Where Cecily is? Do not grate you.
He is sleeping soundly.
It is the best to be here catching the fresh air Only we the two, do you want to say? Yes.
I suppose what is that.
Who knows if one day, perhaps the things are easier.
If Cecily was doing what is correct? And what it would be correct in your opinion, Venetia? If she was confessing, I suppose.
It is not what we want both, Stephen? The Japp speaks.
I know that it is noisy.
I am talking about France! I want what you discover immediately the Lady Cecily Horbury.
In Belgravia.
And in another siege, a mansion in Suffolk.
Look in the filing cabinet! It los sight of sight.
What? Right and it ties me so what locating.
Good morning, Fournier.
One feels.
Are it what what it discovered? I was with the lawyer of Lady Giselle, inspector.
Inspector-chief.
Inspector-chief and I saw the will.
And it is true that she left to the daughter, Anne Giselle, all his money, except a small amount for the servant, Elise Grandier.
I realize.
Thank you, Fournier.
It was that itself.
The flight of 9 hours was full, and I reserved place in the flight of I halve it.
It is strange.
Are it what what has of stranger? They await very often in enough advance.
But not East, Monsieur.
What it means? I am a landlady of side.
A colleague of mine it was in the flight of 9 hours and one said that it was practically empty.
He will be able to say to us now the truth? Good a man appeared here, what let to me 4.
000 FF to say to him what it of 9 hours was full.
There seemed to me to be nothing of evil.
I did not know that she was going to be murdered! Describe the man, please.
He was an American.
High, young com a pear and of glasses Thank you.
It is true! With glasses and a hat.
And it was chewing elastic pastille like all the Americans! And the French accent erases it was awful.
Clear.
I am going to show the tray where I guard the tubes.
I call him the tray of the scrap metal.
I guard it for the Americans.
No, not, I bring it to him.
Use the sun.
There was no American on board.
Is it from where that he came? The girl helped me very even.
- I thank for him.
- I did not do great thing.
She is already a truthful professional.
It fulfilled in the perfection his paper with the young person of the airlines.
The wooden tube! - Do I can? - Certainly.
Is it lovely, does not it think? What is this? The small pieces from silk What beautiful work.
What is what he sees more? The silk is red I thought that the dart that killed it it was black and yellow But the fact is that the murderer it substituted the red silk for black and yellow! - He seems to be in a hurry.
- Nonetheless.
The fact is that Norman, you.
Galley, he told it perhaps to phone.
It is able of coming here to pass a few days.
I was thinking, Beauty queen Grey.
I thought very much about this.
Say to a Mr.
Dupont what the Poirot it has much pleasure in giving to him - 500 pounds? - Yes.
It is extremely generous! Yes, in fact.
For the squad of the Police officer, please.
And if the woman whom the Founier left is not escaping the truthful daughter? Who more than we know it would have the correct age to be a Lady's daughter Giselle? We know three women: The different Venetia Kerr, the Mademoiselle Jane Grey and the Lady Cecily Horbury.
And the three were in the aeroplane.
- I insist on the Lady Horbury.
- But why? For already, because the servant of the Giselle it admitted at last that it was recognizing it.
- Did she say that to him? - That she was there several times.
In the last one, it went out from outburst and it slammed with the door.
And everything discovered that when Frenchman not knows practically? The man is a miracle.
It was with a little of skill and manual expressive gestures.
We did progresses, Fournier.
The inspector Japp believes that the crime it was committed by Lady Horbury.
But I discovered that the buyer of the poisoned dart he was a man.
- Do not be able to have been! - But it was, an American.
Or it seemed to be.
It chews elastic pastille, it uses American glasses, and it has the worst French accent.
But it is an easy American being in Paris, does not it find, Fournier? Absolutely.
Therefore, I suggest what is an American of stage.
Does it mean a disguise? Then, it cannot be the Lady Horbury.
Unless it has an accomplice.
That is possible.
There were no a few rumours on her in the newspapers? Of she has a friendly actor? Not in the newspapers that I read, it me them can be right.
The Japp speaks.
What? What you want to say? Where it is does it link, then? Pretty! I told a few men to follow it, me them they arrived late.
They already did not catch it.
Nobody knows of her.
It disappeared.
Gee.
It is his time of losing a suspect, Inspector-chief.
Good, I am going to leave it.
Is not it going to greet Norman? In a situation of this, three is a crowd, I find.
With license.
He is you.
is not Mitchell? He is you.
Poirot, so clear.
Does it give me permission? - Do favor.
- Thank you.
There were no any more crimes, suppose I, Mr.
Mitchell? It was a luck to have found it.
I have a question for you.
When it cleaned the table of the Mrs.
Giselle after she has been dying, did it notice anything of invulgar? No, I find that not.
What type of thing? Any thing.
Be what will be.
Think well.
It is very important.
Good, there was a thing, yes.
It is a silliness, of certainty, but There were two spoons of coffee in her saucer.
It happens when one is in a hurry.
And it is better to put it more of what to less.
The persons are very much irritated one will not be completely in order.
But it must not be that for what it looks.
On the contrary, Mr.
Mitchell.
I thank for him very much.
It is a trace of vital importance.
It is so good we are able to pass a time joined in Paris.
That's right, e am going to be been fascinated by me while seeing where the elderly woman was living.
Because it will have the resolved Poirot suddenly to give money to the Dupont? I do not know.
Do you think that it is strange? Billets that he has some theory? That Jean Dupont killed the Giselle? You find what it links it it might to have done? I do not know.
He is a bit strange, but it was very nice with me.
- Very nice? - Not in this sense.
Her house is this.
We are being observed.
He wanted to speak with the inspector Fournier.
In what we can help it, Mademoiselle? Lady.
I apologise.
I came here to apologise.
The fact is that I came to speak with him, there is already some time, on a very important question.
- Is she the Lady's daughter Giselle? - Yes.
Madame is felt, please.
I know that it is unforgivable, but I was driven mad.
Only he knew of her death, in the day in which I was going to get married.
When the ceremony ended, I came to run for here.
And then I repented.
I felt sorry for my poor husband, what was to my wait, and we could not cancel the honeymoon.
It was therefore that I did not return.
It came only now, when she ended? Yes.
It does idea of the problems what it caused, Sra? - Richards.
- We need facts.
Since the fact is that we know who is the lady in fact? I thought about that and brought my birth certificate.
Do not I know it? It seems to recognize me any thing in you.
I do not see how.
I grew in Toronto, after my mother abandons myself.
- Does it know Canada? - Unfortunately not.
It contacted his mother sometime, Mrs.
Richards? Not at all.
She never saw me to Canada.
It never wrote to me.
It is obvious what was not been preoccupied at all with me.
And he was hating it therefore, naturally? I was not bothering it is completely.
And to what purpose? Only I wait what has left me much money.
- What the problem is? - None.
Why does it serve the money, at last? Another drink offers me, Raymond.
Is there this the newspaper about which he was talking to me? What brings the rumours of the high society and of his friends? It is yes, and is not easy to obtain it here.
I noticed already that.
It has the date of yesterday.
Take it of today, my friend.
Thank you.
It is in French, Poirot.
She is the Lady Horbury.
It disappeared of his house in England, to reappear here in Paris, in our beards! I translate him, inspector.
" com his companion of travel, " the famous British actor, Mr.
Raymond Barraclough.
" Have calm.
Please.
The Poirot has a plan.
- Is it quite so? - It is awful.
Notice.
Link them to me so it does not recognize me.
It was not that that he wanted? Yes, but he did not want it looked with the Father Christmas.
We go for another room and one feels in that chair.
One matters of holding in the mirror, Mademoiselle? Hold here in the towel.
Do not be preoccupied.
Hercule Poirot is going to do from you again a human being.
Lady Horbury? I am corresponding in Paris of the Daily Record.
We would like doing an article with you for our series " Englishmen in Paris ".
Not at all! The photographer comes already there.
A photo of his and of the Mr.
Barraclough How does it dare? Separate! It did not have to take this attitude.
We return here tomorrow, Lady Horbury.
We have here an excellent history, for the visas.
Did you already see what you did? Excuse.
It leaves me alone.
You are pathetic.
Lady Horbury good morning.
Does not he want to keep me company? Does it want to take a coffee, perhaps? No, thank you.
I am well.
A cigarette, perhaps? Thank you.
Perhaps mean something to the Poirot and he could help it.
No, it is not at all.
It does not look to me.
In the day previous to the crime, his friend, you.
Barraclough, was it in Paris? Yes.
And did he see it when it was in Paris? And also he saw the Lady Giselle, did not he see? And she refused to free it of his debts of play I did not know what to do.
Stephen would not pay them, I was certain of that.
And they were enormous.
Much more than he was imagining.
She threatened me.
He said that he was going to speak in them to some persons.
Persons in London.
I never again might walk of raised head! So, it is true what the lady and you.
Barraclough were they bewitched by her death? It was marvellous! So much, what even was costing believing.
Poirot! Inspector Mademoiselle.
Did it discover what he wanted? I discovered.
Thank you, inspector.
Good, I will go.
A nail I have to file it.
What was that he said? What? Oh, so, my nail.
It needs to be filed.
Holy God! Now I realized already.
Already call a taxi, inspector.
Unless it is deceived, Lady Richards is in great danger! She went out that there is around an hour, with an American.
She looked when of seeing was surprising.
And for where they were they? Cannot he say to us? He asked a taxi for the Platform du Nord.
They were going for England, it was what it links he said to him.
Can I use his telephone? Lady? Suicide? It is what the suspect Police officer, Mr.
Galley.
But that is awful.
And did they already say to her husband? The Police officer did not get to locate it up to now.
Can we help in any thing? It is very late to help someone the Lady's daughter Giselle.
They are to me something in what both might help me.
Come with me to my "suite".
I called all whom I consider relevant for this case.
Why? One does not say what thinks ? Only leaning I to detain the murderer of Lady Giselle.
I wait what think the same thing.
Ladies and men.
My first task it is to restore the reputation of Hercule Poirot, the celebrated detective, what had the unhappiness not to see the cunning murder of Lady Giselle, though he had happened to his fewer ten meters.
Being so, when I had the dubious pleasure of assisting the end of the tennis, I observed an incident between you, Lady Horbury and Lady Giselle.
It seemed to me obvious that she had influence on you.
Be no any more money! Does it realize? An influence of what the lady it would do everything to be freed.
That is despicable! Cecily would never become involved Monsieur Barraclough.
It is an actor, to which I know, is not? It would be the ideal to personify the mysterious American, to which it seems to have been the accomplice of the murderer.
And since the fact is that supposedly did we carry out the crime? As for the opportunity The wooden tube was hidden in the groove of his seat in the aeroplane.
But, according to my experiences they demonstrated in concluding way, it would be impossible for someone to blow the dart in the aeroplane, without taking the risk of being seen.
And being so, there is this the question on what it puts itself.
Because they hid the tube in a siege of that, where it would be indubitavelmente found? To throw us off the scent.
Right, inspector.
And now, we have the wasp.
What her finality was? The same thing.
To throw us off the scent, also.
Thank you, Mademoiselle Grey.
She was of a great help, a perfect helper, and it is right.
But when the death was discovered of Lady Giselle, the wasp also was already killed, because someone had killed it you.
Dupont.
It was walking buzzing around my coffee.
But was it necessary to kill it? Was it even necessary? What? It means that because I killed the wasp, also did I kill the Lady Giselle? That is ridiculous! If the wasp was there arranged to throw us off the scent, there would no be also the danger of she does not get it? Unless our attention it was directed for her for the murderer himself.
It is pricked of wasp.
I killed one with the soup bowl! I only killed a wasp with my soup bowl! But we know that the crime it was not committed by the wasp, and we know what was committed with the use of the wooden tube.
It was committed by the poisoned dart what was stuck by the hand in the Lady's neck Giselle.
We know that only three persons they passed by her during the flight.
The steward Mitchell and the landlady, the Beauty queen Jane Grey.
And you.
Daniel Clancy.
Frankly! I did not come here for Because it came here at last? Because it would be very suspect to have refused? How does it dare? You.
Clancy showed big knowledge of the weapon of the crime.
It is a dart, creed! A native dart.
And I found at his home a wooden tube very similar to what it was discovered in the aeroplane.
I told him that I was for inquiry for a book.
For a book what the man never wrote.
Because the Wilbraham did not leave me.
It found the absurd idea! Since I can write a policeman, when my detective does one refuse to participate in him? Of what he is speaking? You.
Clancy suffers of the disease common in writers of fiction.
The characters assume the control, and they come seeming to him more real of what the world that goes round it.
He is a crazy murderer, then! Remove it of me! Please, Lady Horbury.
Have calm.
And as for the stewards? I discarded already you.
Mitchell.
In this case, she is only the Beauty queen Grey.
Excuse, I am due to protest them.
This stopped having cheeped already.
No, it leaves to be, Norman.
I had really suspect of the Mademoiselle Grey.
I suspected his "new" friendship with you.
Galley.
Would it be even a recent friendship? Or she would be the truthful daughter of Lady Giselle? But finally, clear, we knew again the truthful daughter.
Badly she entered in the room He wanted to speak with the inspector Fournier.
I was convinced of what already the welt somewhere, previously.
But only I reminded of myself when the Beauty queen Grey it kept the imprisoned nail.
The nail I have to file it.
In the hall of the hotel where I saw the Lady Horbury for the first time, she was accompanied for his servant.
- It goes me for the cigarettes.
- It is well, Lady Horbury.
In the aeroplane, when the Lady Horbury it asked a file for nails, it was the same servant who took him, the woman whom we came to know like Anne Giselle.
I came to demand my inheritance.
It is completely very imaginative, but you.
Poirot does not speak, in fact, to serious.
It is changing intentionally his history, first, it went to poor person Jane what killed the Giselle, now it went to daughter! No, not, Mr.
Galley, the daughter did not kill the mother.
The servant of the Lady Horbury it left the cabin of the 1st class, in the beginning of the flight.
And we know that the Giselle died little before we land.
Is it how that she died then? It must be remembered of what I asked for him to pretend of reporter and to meet the Lady Horbury.
It means which era he ? Excuse the hoax, Lady.
But of beginning his disguise it was very not much convincing.
And why? Because it was the disguise of the Mr.
Galley so not much convincing? There are two reasons for that.
First, me to make believing what him would be impossible to personify the American, and at according to place, and more important still, to be certified about what I would never know the truth on the way since the crime had been committed.
In the list of the personal objects of the Mr.
Galley, I already had repaired what he had taken with you the dentist's smock.
During the flight, after the coffee has been served, and the commissioners to be in another side of the aeroplane, you.
Galley addressed to the bathroom.
It wore the dentist's smock, and it altered his aspect with the help of cottons what he had taken to this effect.
It caught a spoon, to give the impression what was a steward, and it went down for the corridor.
It was when it stuck the dart in the Lady's neck Giselle.
In the return, while I was sleeping, it put the wooden tube in the seat at the front of mine.
Then, it returned to the bathroom and it took away the disguise.
Very well.
Very well, Monsieur Poirot.
He when catch he did not unawares the truthful criminal! Say to us now, please, the true solution.
He is going to see that the truth of as this crime had beginning, it is still more intriguing.
Anne Giselle was hating the mother because of having abandoned it when she was a baby.
She was created in Canada and it came for England to work like servant.
For coincidence, it was to the service of Lady Horbury, and it began to move in the circle of the high society.
In spite of his humble profession, you.
Galley also was inhaling in making her part, and it was, undoubtedly, in that of these opportunities what knew the servant of Lady Horbury.
Your relation was developed up to what one day, this servant it told to him his secret.
It indicated him who was his mother and he talked to him in the influence what she had on the Lady Horbury.
It is clear that to the end of 23 years, the Lady Giselle it did not recognize the daughter.
And fortunately for you, the daughter was hating so much the mother, what of good will it agreed with his plan of killing it in such a form what the Lady Horbury it was incriminated.
He planned that completely! I might have been The Police officer for somewhat not me With the Lady's death Giselle, it was essential for you.
Galley to get married with the daughter.
Anne would demand the inheritance, but in case of his death, the husband would receive the fortune of Lady Giselle.
But you.
Galley knew that I had known Anne, in the office of the inspector Fournier.
He asked a taxi for the Platform du Nord.
He was afraid what I was discovering that she was also the servant.
The suicide went to cause of the death of the poor woman, said the man.
No, not, Mr.
Galley.
The man left the fingerprints in the bottle.
That is ridiculous, because I used It wore the gloves when it committed the crime? It was a fact.
Thank you.
It is better to come with me.
Because it did that, Norman? For the money, Jane.
For a great amount of money! Because another reason would be? I thought I do not know It was liking the Mr.
Galley? Yes.
And he was thinking that he was liking you.
But it was deceived, Mademoiselle.
Obviously.
No, it is not that.
He was not liking you.
He was loving it.
It is true.
I saw that in his glance.
I was been preoccupied.
In case of having been you at last.
While it was sleeping, perhaps.
It has great joke, inspector.
But there is a thing what I do not understand.
What the fez to be suspicious of Norman Gale, first of all? First of all? First of all I looked for the house of the wasp.
And in the personal objects of the Mr.
Galley there was a box of matches.
An empty box of matches! Parfait.
Where is it going to take me, Poirot? To a lunch of farewell, perhaps? To a great restaurant what you discovered? I begin to adore the French, wise food? He is not well that, inspector.
It is a spiritual food, my friend.
